Recently, I just learned about giving Tuesday. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's a new thing. You guys know about that holiday? It's been around for years. I mean, I knew about receiving Saturdays and three-way Thursdays, but giving Tuesday. That was kind of new to me. Well, it's like right after Cyber Monday, and it encourages people to give to nonprofits. Yeah. It's like Black Friday, Cyber Monday and...

Giving Tuesday.

And there's also Small Business Saturday that happens right after Friday.

0:26.9

What the heck?

0:27.4

Am I just going to have any money left over for me?

0:29.6

I mean, I think the whole idea is because you feel so guilty after dropping a ton of cash and eating all the food on Thanksgiving and Black Friday and Cyber Monday,

you need to do something nice to give back to the community to make up for it. It's true. I didn't just spend a bunch of money on my fan. I hope it's not just about guilt. I hope you'd want to. But sure, if that's how you give, that's how you give. That's my motivating factor. You're homeless people. I'm giving because I have to. There's a lot of ways to give back. One way is to donate stuff that you don't need anymore to places like Goodwill.

Oh, that's true.

1:04.6

But that's not always the case.

Because a list just came out of the most bizarre items people donated to Goodwill this past year. Oh, no way. Dude. So this is going to be really good. This is great. I can't imagine being the person who has to sift through all this stuff. Oh, I had a friend do it for half a day and then they quit at lunchtime. Oh, wait. They were the Goodwill employee. Some of the items that they receive are pretty out there.

1:29.2

And here's the list of the top ten strangest ones.

Number 10 was an actual working guillotine.

1:35.4

What?

1:35.9

Shut up.

1:36.8

To kill people?

1:37.8

The French execution device from the Middle Ages.

1:41.0

It's a murder weapon.

1:42.0

So do we put this in the toy section or the tool section?

1:45.6

And an employee says they think it's sold for 30 bucks. 30? That's a good deal. And it's sold? They let them walk out the door of the guillotine? If you have a chicken farm, maybe it'd be helpful. Oh, that's actually... Is that dark? Yeah, speed up the process. Number nine was a bag full of groceries, which was probably put in the donation, been by accident by some clueless husband. And his wife was like, go give everything that's in the trunk to charity. Go. I didn't mean. Well, he just gave him a jar of pickles and three bananas. I don't understand.
