So my friend just sold some type of amphibian and has two large bricks of coir. She's in the process of moving and said I could have them.
One brick is 12x12 inches and about 7 inches thick
The brand is called Forest Bed - Expandable Substrate.
What do I do with it?

Unless you're planning to plant a lot of stuff right away, I don't think you want to soak the whole thing. A brick sized block expanded to about 3 gallons. A hatchet? Axe? Sledg hammer? Chisel and mallet? Score a line with a saw then whack? Mine -- not the same brand -- crumbled into fine particles -- something like peat moss.
