All right, so coffee, I mean, if you get up and you're listening right now, then 75% of you understand the, I mean, coffee is like gold. Yeah. I mean, my day doesn't start until I just have that first sip. Just a little teeny, teeny, teeny one, but just starts your day, you know? Yeah, ruins my day if I don't have any coffee. I know Wendy and Jeff are not coffee drinkers in the room,

but Jen, Bird and myself are addicted.

0:23.3

It's got a grip on us.

0:24.2

Like, Jen... It starts your day, you know? Yeah, ruins my day if I don't have any coffee. I know Wendy and Jeff are not coffee drinkers in the room, but Jen, Burt and myself are addicted.

It's got a grip on us.

Like, Jen didn't drink coffee yesterday, and she was a mess. Oh, I was, like, falling asleep by 9 a.m. I was like, oh. Melissa, I think it's funny. I don't think Melissa does, but sometimes Katie Joe does stuff like take the coffee pot and hide it or use all the coffee and not buy any new ones.

I don't think Melissa does, but sometimes Katie Joe does stuff like take the coffee pot and hide it or use all the coffee and not buy any new ones. I don't think she loves me anymore, to be honest with you. Didn't she one time actually take your coffee pot to work? Yeah. To her office? To her office. And then. Never replaced it. And yeah. And then I walked in the kitchen. I was like, where's the coffee pot? Yeah. And then we've run out of coffee before and stuff. So she'll come in the morning and she'll barter with Bert for just sips of Bert's coffee. Like it's a negotiation. It's like, Bert, seriously. You want me to record your spots? I'll go on healthy. Can I have more, sir?

And they haven't, yeah, and Starbucks brand, and again, I have, I don't know, and forgive me

1:24.2

Starbucks, but it's either VIA or VIA, but it's spelled VIA, and it's their instant coffee. And why is instant coffee so bad? Because I don't know. I mean, I don't have a lot to do with the coffee.

It sounds like it's, you know, the brewed coffee is just going to taste like it's more mixed in or something.

2:05.9

Like it's in the same idea.

2:07.8

My grandma used to drink that stuff and it has its own distinct smell too.

2:11.7

Like my grandma smell like Sanka.

2:14.7

She did, man. And she would get the grinds like in her teeth when she smile. It's just nastiness.

2:23.3

Yeah, I had a really sad moment with instant coffee. It was the first Christmas I spent away from my family with another family.

2:30.3

And I woke up Christmas morning without the fanfare and I had to go in the pantry

2:36.1

by myself and make instant coffee.

2:38.4
