She has done things where you take the little you
know side ramikins that the sauces come in.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Just the five finger discount. She'll take those. No big deal.

never in my life dined it down.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Is it a come up for you? When they give
you those little mini bottles of ketchup and something like that?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Why are yourself?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
It's like Christmas morning?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
You get a little jar of honey too, and I
have a little honey jars.
Speaker 3 (05:30):

Speaker 7 (05:36):
Like?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
You never know?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
But okay, now you know, yeah, those you could keep.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I paid for freaking forty dollars for this burger in
my hotel room.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, I love those little things. They're cute and they
might come in handy.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Do you keep the ball off or you're done with it?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Probably I could put some different sauce.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
No, you don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
You don't do you know how many times I've kept
when they bring in when we get food in the
studio and they bring in the good black plastic to
go food food containers are the good ones, the ones
like not like a cardboard container or like one mad
one one reusable, Yeah, like a.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Food prep container.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
When they bring those, I always will take them if
they're not too messy. And I can't tell you how
many times those have come in handy. When I want
to bring something to somebody's house and I don't want
to have to have a container that I'm going to
bring back home with me, I.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Bring it and I could leave it and it came
out and it was free to go containers.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Your food's in there. They probably just toss it in
the garden.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
They definitely do well.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
There is a whole study out here naming the top
free things that we like to keep.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Yeah, and I think I do almost all of these,
Uh you do?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah? Oh yeah?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
And I have a whole list of ones that aren't
even on this list, because I get like, if you
donate to charity once you get like free stuff sent
to you, like the return address labels, pads of paper,
greeting cars.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Always I use those. I mean I use.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Them though calendars. Yeah, but you keep them, Yeah, you
keep them.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Lots of people they get that stuff in the mail,
just immediately about it.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh yeah, it's great.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Free greeting cards.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
What like, if anybody needs any holiday greeting cards, hit
me up because I've been holding on to them.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
For like twenty years.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Give them away.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Well, I get like ten to twenty every year.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Because you donate so much ceterio.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
No, no, I'm just on some list somewhere. I got
a good stack. Anybody needs any cards, let me know.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I'll take them.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Okay, But the top ten, according to this latest thread,
number ten is cardboard boxes and bubble wrap. If you
get something in the mail from Amazon, you keep that
box because someday you're going to reuse.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Definitely, do not do that.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
I just save the Amazon boxes starting around now because
I put them in a closet because then they come
in handy for Christmas time.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I had boxes to wrap.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Yeah, m hmm.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Yeah, we keep them all the time. You why just
in case? For what like lots of times we fill
them with stuff to bring to good Will or to
shift to somebody.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Good Will all the time, like good will stuff.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Your house because I keep clothes for like forty years.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
We know, but you never get rid of it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
But you do a closet clean out though, So what happens?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Well, I keep good stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Yeah, I've never met somebody who has as much busy
work and who.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Donates as much as Sky. Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
And landscaping, yeah, those three things are never ending. Weeds, donating,
busy work. I can't imagine boxes and bubble wrap. Yeah,
if you need any of those, let me know. I
got a little stack in my garage.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Uh, grocery store plastic bags yep.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Oh yeah, stables every time yep.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, I save them. I use them for our cat litter.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Oh yeah, I walk around and empty these small garbages
put them in there.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Do you do that every day? Like Sky? No, I'm
not a psychopath.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Here is you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Work more busy.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
I'm telling you you'll never meet a person in your
life with more busy work, more weeds.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
We're masking some things. I think dot, that's.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Not there's one Q tip in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
There's no, there's not one. Zero, there is Psycho.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
There's a lot of stuff in there.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
Next thing we keep that's free gift bags and tissue paper.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Oh yeah, you know it's a good gifts paper.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I'm not keen on keeping. It's all crumpled up.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
In My aunt got us something for the baby, and
uh it was from the Amazon, you know, and it
was like this giant bag and I kept it and
I'm like, what am I ever going to put in this?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, I'm sure I'll figure my Christmas present is going
to be in that thing. A T shirt?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, one thing and then guess what I'll keep it?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
That's right, Yeah you will.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Yeah, you always know the person who does that, Like
when you get a birthday gift and then you get
to the bottom of the bag and there's like pine
needles from the Christmas.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Tree in the bottom of the bath and you're like, okay.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
But the worst is when you forget that you've written
on the actual tag that comes on the bag and
you're like, wait, what.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Number seven.
Speaker 7 (10:14):
Free thing that a lot of us keep is plastic
takeout utensils do you keep those?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
I know, first I do. That's dining room. That's the
good china. Okay, sorry ouch.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
Number six, I think this is the only one. I
don't keep the silica gel packets.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
Anybody what?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I can't wait to throw those away. Yeah, afraid my
dog's gonna eat. I'm always like, are those in there?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Why would anybody?
Speaker 7 (10:43):
I don't know, if they're making their own thing that
they want to not flash.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I didn't. I've never even heard of that before either. Okay.
Number five thing is rubber bands and twist ties.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Big twist diye guy, really really, I hate putting away a.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Bag of chips without twist tie on it. Chip. I
run out of chip clips? How do you run out
of them? Because I'm with Hailey, where do we lose
them all?
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Haley in her car and Stid Probably Yeah, Hailey loses
cell phone chargers, chip clips, ear pods, I mean anything
she loses. So I try to keep all the twisty
ties so I can twist the tie all my chips.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Oh, I can't imagine having a bag that's a lot
of twist, weird twisty like you know you twisted up.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I hate that.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I actually do the I save the little plastic you know,
the plastic little flat things that have little bread on
the bread and stuff. I save those when I'm done
because I get rid of the twisty tie and replace
it with that.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Why because I don't like twisty ties.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
So if, like I get a tortilla core tortillas has
twist ties on it, I'll throw the twist tieway and
get one of those old those.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I mean, it's a pretty simple process.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
It's a twisty way easier to just put that other
little thing on easier.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I don't think it's that much easier. It's a twisty
because you got to do this.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Yeah, but they're so flimsy they break all the time.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, not on a delicate bag, like.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
You're a delicate bag.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Wow, I don't know. That's an insult.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I think.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Never a smart hack.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I mean, you didn't your hack sucks you did it
at all, It would break. I've heard your hacks before.
They're not great and boom.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Number people keep are those little packages of screws and
you know, like little wood I keep.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Why would I ever need those screw I know it's
the dumbest thing ever. Always keep them.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Number three hotel toilet trees.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I don't do it anymore. No, it's like, what am
I going to do with this?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Unless you're at a really nice hotel, very crappy, yeah
on that.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
But if I'm staying somewhere, fancy.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I fancy fancy regular rubbing lotion all over.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
So Number two is condiment packet from like fast food spots,
ketchups and sauce yes. And the number one free thing
that people will keep is fast food napkins.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
They will keep stacks there.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
In my car, love cars perfect, something to sneeze something, something,
you know, something.
Speaker 1 (13:22):

Speaker 5 (13:27):
I always feel I always feel really good too if
I need a napkin and my wife's like, I need
a napkin, love caparting baby that.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Why does that make you feel cool? Because I got it?
I mean, yeah, that's right. That's where I keep mind.
I never felt cool about it. You don't.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I feel like I got to go over like I
got my life together.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Guess what? Also? I feel like Adi's only got like
one napkin.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I got a stack bell stack, I guarantee I have
more napkins than you.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I will see you want to, you want to, Well,
here's the thing. Here's the thing.

My grandma Judy is ninety four, and she some would
say steals. I would say, he takes things, and that's
going to be emily, yeah, and it's going to be
taken to be and my grandma. My grandma may allegedly

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Oh wow, always doing in there, done that. She's not

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Never thought about the sweet low container.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
She has done things where you take the little you
know side ramikins that the sauces come in.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Just the five finger discount. She'll take those. No big deal.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I have unfortunately, sorry, I have ordered room service and

them Ramiican a little ramikan? I know it's not right.
Speaker 5 (05:09):

never in my life dined it down.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Is it a come up for you? When they give
you those little mini bottles of ketchup and something like that?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Why are yourself?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
It's like Christmas morning?
Speaker 4 (05:25):

Speaker 7 (05:36):

Speaker 3 (05:36):
You never know?
Speaker 2 (05:37):

Speaker 4 (05:40):
I paid for freaking forty dollars for this burger in
my hotel room.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, I love those little things. They're cute and they
might come in handy.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Do you keep the ball off or you're done with it?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Probably I could put some different sauce.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
No, you don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
You don't do you know how many times I've kept
when they bring in when we get food in the
studio and they bring in the good black plastic to
go food food containers are the good ones, the ones
like not like a cardboard container or like one mad
one one reusable, Yeah, like a.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Food prep container.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
When they bring those, I always will take them if
they're not too messy. And I can't tell you how
many times those have come in handy. When I want
to bring something to somebody's house and I don't want
to have to have a container that I'm going to
bring back home with me, I.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Bring it and I could leave it and it came
out and it was free to go containers.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Your food's in there. They probably just toss it in
the garden.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
They definitely do well.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
There is a whole study out here naming the top
free things that we like to keep.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Yeah, and I think I do almost all of these,
Uh you do?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah? Oh yeah?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
And I have a whole list of ones that aren't
even on this list, because I get like, if you
donate to charity once you get like free stuff sent
to you, like the return address labels, pads of paper,
greeting cars.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Always I use those. I mean I use.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Them though calendars. Yeah, but you keep them, Yeah, you
keep them.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Lots of people they get that stuff in the mail,
just immediately about it.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh yeah, it's great.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Free greeting cards.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
What like, if anybody needs any holiday greeting cards, hit
me up because I've been holding on to them.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
For like twenty years.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Give them away.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Well, I get like ten to twenty every year.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Because you donate so much ceterio.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
No, no, I'm just on some list somewhere. I got
a good stack. Anybody needs any cards, let me know.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I'll take them.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Okay, But the top ten, according to this latest thread,
number ten is cardboard boxes and bubble wrap. If you
get something in the mail from Amazon, you keep that
box because someday you're going to reuse.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Definitely, do not do that.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
I just save the Amazon boxes starting around now because
I put them in a closet because then they come
in handy for Christmas time.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I had boxes to wrap.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Yeah, m hmm.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Yeah, we keep them all the time. You why just
in case? For what like lots of times we fill
them with stuff to bring to good Will or to
shift to somebody.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Good Will all the time, like good will stuff.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Your house because I keep clothes for like forty years.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
We know, but you never get rid of it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
But you do a closet clean out though, So what happens?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Well, I keep good stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Yeah, I've never met somebody who has as much busy
work and who.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Donates as much as Sky. Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
And landscaping, yeah, those three things are never ending. Weeds, donating,
busy work. I can't imagine boxes and bubble wrap. Yeah,
if you need any of those, let me know. I
got a little stack in my garage.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Uh, grocery store plastic bags yep.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Oh yeah, stables every time yep.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, I save them. I use them for our cat litter.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Oh yeah, I walk around and empty these small garbages
put them in there.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Do you do that every day? Like Sky? No, I'm
not a psychopath.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Here is you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Work more busy.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
I'm telling you you'll never meet a person in your
life with more busy work, more weeds.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
We're masking some things. I think dot, that's.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Not there's one Q tip in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
There's no, there's not one. Zero, there is Psycho.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
There's a lot of stuff in there.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
Next thing we keep that's free gift bags and tissue paper.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Oh yeah, you know it's a good gifts paper.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I'm not keen on keeping. It's all crumpled up.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
In My aunt got us something for the baby, and
uh it was from the Amazon, you know, and it
was like this giant bag and I kept it and
I'm like, what am I ever going to put in this?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, I'm sure I'll figure my Christmas present is going
to be in that thing. A T shirt?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, one thing and then guess what I'll keep it?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
That's right, Yeah you will.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Yeah, you always know the person who does that, Like
when you get a birthday gift and then you get
to the bottom of the bag and there's like pine
needles from the Christmas.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Tree in the bottom of the bath and you're like, okay.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
But the worst is when you forget that you've written
on the actual tag that comes on the bag and
you're like, wait, what.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Number seven.
Speaker 7 (10:14):
Free thing that a lot of us keep is plastic
takeout utensils do you keep those?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
I know, first I do. That's dining room. That's the
good china. Okay, sorry ouch.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
Number six, I think this is the only one. I
don't keep the silica gel packets.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
Anybody what?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I can't wait to throw those away. Yeah, afraid my
dog's gonna eat. I'm always like, are those in there?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Why would anybody?
Speaker 7 (10:43):
I don't know, if they're making their own thing that
they want to not flash.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I didn't. I've never even heard of that before either. Okay.
Number five thing is rubber bands and twist ties.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Big twist diye guy, really really, I hate putting away a.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Bag of chips without twist tie on it. Chip. I
run out of chip clips? How do you run out
of them? Because I'm with Hailey, where do we lose
them all?
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Haley in her car and Stid Probably Yeah, Hailey loses
cell phone chargers, chip clips, ear pods, I mean anything
she loses. So I try to keep all the twisty
ties so I can twist the tie all my chips.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Oh, I can't imagine having a bag that's a lot
of twist, weird twisty like you know you twisted up.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I hate that.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I actually do the I save the little plastic you know,
the plastic little flat things that have little bread on
the bread and stuff. I save those when I'm done
because I get rid of the twisty tie and replace
it with that.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Why because I don't like twisty ties.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
So if, like I get a tortilla core tortillas has
twist ties on it, I'll throw the twist tieway and
get one of those old those.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I mean, it's a pretty simple process.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
It's a twisty way easier to just put that other
little thing on easier.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I don't think it's that much easier. It's a twisty
because you got to do this.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Yeah, but they're so flimsy they break all the time.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, not on a delicate bag, like.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
You're a delicate bag.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Wow, I don't know. That's an insult.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I think.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Never a smart hack.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I mean, you didn't your hack sucks you did it
at all, It would break. I've heard your hacks before.
They're not great and boom.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Number people keep are those little packages of screws and
you know, like little wood I keep.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Why would I ever need those screw I know it's
the dumbest thing ever. Always keep them.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Number three hotel toilet trees.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I don't do it anymore. No, it's like, what am
I going to do with this?
Speaker 5 (12:46):

on that.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
But if I'm staying somewhere, fancy.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I fancy fancy regular rubbing lotion all over.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
So Number two is condiment packet from like fast food spots,
ketchups and sauce yes. And the number one free thing
that people will keep is fast food napkins.
