Speaker 1 (00:00):
So normally when we hear Emily's grocery store adventures, it's
usually her doing something bad and describing like not returning
carts that was to the corrals.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
But that once when I started the show, like eight
years ago.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
What did your son read like? Cry? No, he was
in a car set in the car, and you pushed
the cart with him in the car.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
No, that's why I would leave it because I would
panic a couple of times and there was no car corral,
and I'd already loaded him up in the car.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
And you just push it and it was out of
the way.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
And take the fancy cars.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
You would also break off stocks of broccoli to pay
less for it, things.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Like that they put when they put a on one
head of broccoli, give me like an eight inch stock.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Do you cook with stocks brocoli stocks?

Speaker 5 (00:54):
Yes, that's where actually all the nutrients are.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
I do if I'm making a brocoli cheddar souper. But
at the same time, like it's just it. I don't
need it, and you're charging me by they're charging me by.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
The way they're charging me.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
By the way that that happened.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
What am I going to do with that? What am
I going to do with that stock.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Now my problem, uh, multiple issues with lines and issues.
I mean, it says usually it's you at the grocery
store doing some some wild stuff. Okay, we've heard about
it over the years, right, Okay, Well this time a
little different and with Emily's grocery store adventures. This time
Emily actually tried to do something nice for somebody, but

(01:35):
a backfire.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
I don't think you needed to emphasize the word actually.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
Well, I mean, I'm not saying you don't do nice things.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
That was necessary.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I don't mean you don't do nice things. I meant,
like at the store, usually you're the bad, bad person.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
I don't think I usually you're Remember that one time
I returned the wallet to the front.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, and then you asked for a reward. Yeah, I
remember that. I totally remember that nice.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
I think I do lots of nice things. Okay, especially
it's the store.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
I know you don't.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
I did to.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
Some of those like those little Rascal the little scooters scooters.
Thank you for saying that.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
What do you do?

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Almost every time if I see them, I asked them
if they need help grabbing something off the shelf.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Every time, even though they didn't say anything.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
If they look like they're looking how to look like
I'm struggling ill?

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Can I get you?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Can I guess before you.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Look at you?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Thank you? Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Can we get Mayor Gloria on the line right now
and give her the key to the city.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
And that would be nice?

Speaker 3 (02:31):
And that would be nice.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Yeah, she deserves it.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Well, I do deserve it, and I should have deserved
it for what happened recently. I was at a Target.
Oh well, step up, step up, that's my thing, that's
my fancy.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Who would you go to Target for?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I go to Target often. It's in the rotation as.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Often as Walmart.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yeah, I'm a Target girl once every two weeks, let's say,
and I get usually make up, I'll get I'll go
there if I need some clothing items because they've got
a really cute clothing department. You know it, youirl, you
know a girl once every two weeks. It depends on
what I need. That's wild, But it's like it's kind
of fun to walk around Target. I like walking around Target.

(03:13):
So that's but that's neither here a.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
Two story one.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
No, I don't like that.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I don't like two story shopping Center. I don't like.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
I actually hate two story stores, Like I don't like
that Target at grossmut Center or the Walmart because they're
two story.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
But that's neither here now.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Okay, okay, the escalator really throw you off?

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yeah, I don't know where anything is. I'm like, what
the hell is going on? It's too difficult.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Now what I need is downstairs, like upstairs, vice versa.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
What I do that cart exactly? So no, I'm not
a two story girl. I'm a one story girl. Okay
about the one story Target. And I'm with my son
Read and we're running around grabbing a couple of different things.
You need, Mom, He actually likes going to Target. He
doesn't just.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Like he loved Vegas more than disney Land when he
was a little kid.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
She did say he did that that sins changed, but
he did, I'm telling you. And so he was with
you had targets. He's going to get some some stuff
for himself as well. And so we're at in the
checkout line and uh, I didn't have too much stuff.
I just had it all on the cart, but I
had a hand cart. And so we're sitting there and
we're checking out, and we're behind another person. So it's

(04:20):
not quite our time at the registry yet. And as
we're there, an older gentleman is standing in line behind us,
and he's probably he's got white hair, it's kind of
like white, kind of stringly like longer hair. He looks tattered,
like definitely like he does. His shoes look very old.

(04:41):
There's holes in them, it's like old tennis shoes. And
he looks he straight up looks homeless. Oh and on
top of that, he had a dog that we had
seen earlier in the store walking around with him off leash.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
It's just a dog off that's insane.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
And it was a really sweet lab. It is insane.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
But another reason, like I'm thinking, oh, this is like
a homeless guy. He doesn't I don't know why I
would think a homeless guy wouldn't have a leash, But
I'm like, maybe he's who knows what's going on there.
But that was kind of a little bit of a
clue for me that that he is. He's probably homeless.
He's behind us in line, and I do see that
he actually has a collar and a leash in his
hand to purchase. Oh really, like he's going to go

(05:21):
buy a collar in a leash, and then he had
like a couple other things. It looked like a couple
of toiletries, but he only had like three or four
things like that's it in two hands. And he was
behind us, like I said, and my son read and
I the dog was coming up sniffing us, and he
looked pleasant and nice and the dog and the owner,
and so we say, oh, can we fit your dog?

(05:42):
And he said absolutely, yeah, for sure, and so we
stood pining. The dog is the sweetest, the sweetest yellow
lab ever. And so we're talking about the dog and
all this other stuff, and he's just such a nice
seems like such a nice man, and that it's my
time to wring my stuff up. And we're sitting there
and she's ringing my stuff up. And as I'm like
waiting and she's ringing the stuff up, I think to myself, Wow,

(06:04):
he's only got a couple of items.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
He's clearly homeless.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Like I can swing paying for his stuff, and that
would be a really nice gesture. He seems like it's
really sad thing you see elderly people on the streets
like that just breaks my heart. And so I was
thinking that, and so then I also say it out loud,
whisper it to my son next to me.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
And I go, I think I'm gonna buy his groceries.
I think I'm gonna buy his stuff for him.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
And because I'm kind of nervous before I do it,
because I don't know, like I don't know. Those kinds
of situations are kind of red. I'eel anxious and nervous
about it. I don't know why I would need to
be okay from him. But I say that to him
and he goes, no, Mom, don't do that.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Oh don't. I go why?

Speaker 4 (06:47):
And he says, you don't know if he's homeless, like
he might not be almost I go, read, it's just
a nice thing to do. I don't want to leave
the situation not do it and then regret it, because
that's totally happened to me before.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
We're panicked and didn't do something nice that I shouldn't okay,
And so that's when I override.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
My son read so then you really didn't need his okay. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
I think you just want everyone to know she was.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
Oh, is all right?

Speaker 6 (07:12):
She was hoping somebody that's a sky move where she
was hoping she.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Gets around here.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
I'm buying groceries.

Speaker 7 (07:19):
Attention, target customers. I am buying the groceries for the
person onlying behind me.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Sky I wouldn't get on the loud sky she sides out,
I don't know why the first.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Person to the aisle eight gets groceries.

Speaker 7 (07:31):
Okay, target customers, Barnum Scott groceries for somebody.

Speaker 8 (07:38):
Okay, don't I just want everybody to know sky out,
I will, I will talk about it on a look
at the radio show. Okay, five three five portraits?

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Okay, I don't why are you doing?

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Don't actually also, and then she comes back, I donate blood.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
And you know what, you guys are right. She doesn't
need the loudspeakers, She'll just talk. Okay, pst the entire.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Story she comes back on and the food paper. Okay,
this is a This is a long way of saying
Emily is doing this. Wow, dig very charitable.

Speaker 8 (08:16):
Okay, why do I keep saying sky out?

Speaker 3 (08:22):
What?

Speaker 2 (08:26):
I don't say that?

Speaker 5 (08:28):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (08:28):
She randomly says, I tipped very well. Okay. She keeps
going on and on.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
I don't sky out every time.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
It's all right off, sky out, Yeah with you guys,
stop it.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
This is not about me, right, now what's happening.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
I have visually shut Why are you doing this?

Speaker 2 (08:50):
I didn't I didn't do I didn't sky.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
I'm a pay person.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
He read, go Treby, do that, and do that.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
Damn it.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
So I decide that I'm going to override Read's suggestions
and I'm going.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
To pull trigger.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
And so I turn over to him, who's like obviously
his stuff's on the belt right behind mine at this point,
and I go, sir, I'd like to buy your items,
if that's okay, And he says.

Speaker 6 (09:24):
And the wildest way to ask that I've ever heard,
because like, I don't know any have you ever done
this for somebody?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
I I think I have when they were in front
of me and like they didn't have like their wallet
or something like that. They're struggling with something, and I'll
just say I got it, I got it, don't worry
about it. You know, you'll say that, but like to
be so it's kind of weird and I don't know
what what's going on.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
What I would have done is instead of asking so
oddly like that, I would once they once they like
we're on like the little conveyor belt thing, I just
would have been like, oh, and do his.

Speaker 8 (09:59):
Too, so you're not asking, I'm just doing it.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
And then I'm saying and then and then, and then
I'm saying and then the guy goes, oh no, bro,
don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
I got it. Don't worry.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
And then and then you jump on them.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
This gross.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Okay, I still there, credit for crazy, and you got
to also get his name to what's your name?

Speaker 7 (10:24):
Sir?

Speaker 5 (10:24):
Tell everybody how cool I am.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
The target PA, that's what we're saying.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Okay, so say that weird.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
I say that because I'm so un nervous about it,
and I'm nervous about doing it, so it comes out awkwardly.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
But I'd like to buy your items.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
And then that's when his face turns and he says
he's got a face like a confusion, and he goes,
why is that? And I go, I just wanted to
do a nice thing, and he goes, I'm not homeless
if you think I'm homeless, and he tells me that
he's not homeless, and he seems kind of like almost
defensively offended, like.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
I heard his pride, probably like.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Love this.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
And at that point I'm already nervous. I was hesitant
to do it, and now I'm freaking more. I'm mortified.
So then I go into, oh.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
My gosh, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
I'm so sorry. I wasn't trying to offend you.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
I just you know, I didn't know, and so I
thought i'd do offer, and he goes, no, it's nice,
and it's nice.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
So that's nice.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
I kind of under his breath like like whatever, like
I'm offended, but that was nice. But still I'm offended.
So I check out and got the hell out of
and didn't buy the things for him. I try to
do something nice. It completely backfired and I should have
listened to my son.

Speaker 5 (11:44):
But so Read was right.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Reid was right. I think it's just the way you
went about it.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
First of all, you probably did loud enough where he
could hear you and Read talking about it.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
I was whispering, good enough, whisper you're a.

Speaker 8 (11:57):
Terrible whisper, yeah or whatever.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
And so anyway, I don't know if I'll ever try
to do that again.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Well, I think it's a little bit tricky, you know
what I mean. If if I think the key is
they got to be in front of you, because if
he's reaching in his pockets and he's pulling out like
crumpled up dollar bills and coins, and then you go, oh,
you know what I got, put his on mine something
like that.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
That's kind of fine.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
I don't know what's going on behind and then you
it's and it's honestly kind of an uncomfortable scene of
the you know, weird thing that you did.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
You know, I like, hey, condescending, Yeah, horrible.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
Yeah, that's the risk you run if you do that.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
I guess I shouldn't.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
You're going to do it.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
Jump on the loud speaking this guy does. There you
go
