Speaker 1: Kabooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's the clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with me, Big
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g Happy Saturday to you as we
Speaker 1: slide on into the fifteenth day of the month of
Speaker 1: June and we celebrate together the World Juggling Day, always important.
Speaker 1: World Juggling Day today, great event at the circus. When
Speaker 1: you watch the clowns juggle, very impressive. I tried juggling
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. Didn't go so well. Didn't
Speaker 1: go so well when I was when I was doing that,
Speaker 1: but a staple of the circus clowns juggling. But I
Speaker 1: have been told Danny, people in the circus they avoid
Speaker 1: whistling and or eating peanuts because it's bad luck nuts
Speaker 1: at the circus.
Speaker 3: You know what would that be?
Speaker 1: Why would it be bad peanuts? Is that because they
Speaker 1: feed the elephant's peanuts. Is that why it's bad luck?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not sure about that either. That
Speaker 3: that's something for you to add to the list of research. Sure, Mark,
Speaker 3: I think they're going to give us a couple of
Speaker 3: interns for this show pretty soon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well do they have? We used to have interest
Speaker 1: when I started, We had so many interes. We had
Speaker 1: a whole intern program. We haven't had interns.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, it's funny. You should ask Dean
Speaker 3: last Monday he started for Big Mike. Who So, Big
Speaker 3: Mike has a personal intern? Really? Yeah, this is new information.
Speaker 3: He's the first intern in four and a half years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't get it. When I started in radio,
Speaker 1: I was an intern and learned the business as an intern,
Speaker 1: and then got hired and then worked my way up
Speaker 1: the corporate ladder and all that. But you could still
Speaker 1: find people that would like the intern. There's still people
Speaker 1: that would be willing to do it. Although is it
Speaker 1: the case now where everyone's like, I got to get
Speaker 1: paid to be an intern, you know, I need money
Speaker 1: and all that. Is it one of those deals? Huh?
Speaker 3: You know? I hope he gets fired pretty soon. No
Speaker 3: bad jinks or karma on him. But here's his email

Speaker 3: That, you know. And then Covino told Rich the other
Speaker 3: day he's like, dude, he's like, the worst part of
Speaker 3: that email was that you wrote back saying awesome ideas,
Speaker 3: thanks for this. And Rich was just trying to be nice,
Speaker 3: but he's like, dude, don't egg him on if we
Speaker 3: can't use any of the ideas. And I told both
Speaker 3: of them, I'm like, don't worry about it. For a
Speaker 3: few minutes, I explained to him, like how we kind
Speaker 3: of come up with topics and the different angles, and
Speaker 3: I showed him TMZ Sports and some other websites and
Speaker 3: I'm like, bro, find an interesting headline that's out there
Speaker 3: and then find an angle to that, not these evergreen
Speaker 3: bad ideas that are on bad talk shows. Well he was.
Speaker 1: Trying, but the effort was there, the execution.
Speaker 3: Was star And by the way, later on this podcast,

Speaker 1: of the fifth hour Start Bench Cut. That's what we're
Speaker 1: going to do on a spinoff podcast, and it will
Speaker 1: be available wherever you get podcasts, a bonus podcast just
Speaker 1: for you. So on on this edition, we do not
Speaker 1: have any of any lists. I don't do this, We
Speaker 1: have none. We have the Buggy Revenge, hell Off, the tape,
Speaker 1: the Thing of a Jig Go Sideways, and we'll have
Speaker 1: the phrase of the week. Are you ready, Danny, Oh yes,
Speaker 1: all right, let's get right into it. So if you
Speaker 1: have been listening to the Terrestrial Overnight Show, the Original
Speaker 1: Recipe Podcast, and this Extra Crispy, Extra Crunchy, Extra Spicy podcast,
Speaker 1: you know that I have had a take that has
Speaker 1: gone very uh what's the word I'm looking for over
Speaker 1: the top. The reaction has been polarizing to one of
Speaker 1: my takes, not about sports, of course, but something else.
Speaker 1: But this story actually relates to it, and I wanted
Speaker 1: to share it with you. And I did not use
Speaker 1: this on the weekday show the weeknight show. So I
Speaker 1: had a pretty normal weekend in terms of running errands
Speaker 1: around town. Made my pilgrimage to the Holy Atlantic Costco.
Speaker 1: And this is not for the banana cream pie, which
Speaker 1: we reviewed on yesterday's podcast. This is instead just a
Speaker 1: normal Costco run. The wife wanted some Kirkland brand Icebrew coffee.
Speaker 1: They had been out of it the last time I went,
Speaker 1: so okay. I went back and stopped by Costco very
Speaker 1: brief trip. But it was rush hour, afternoon Costco weekend,
Speaker 1: afternoon Costco rush hour, so I get out of the card.
Speaker 1: Now I had to park. Costco was so busy. I
Speaker 1: had to park on the other side of a parking
Speaker 1: lot across the street, which was in a parking lot
Speaker 1: which was adjacent to Costa Go, but on the other
Speaker 1: side of this this main Entry street, and so that's
Speaker 1: where I had to part. It was that busy, I
Speaker 1: had to park across the way there completely packed. So
Speaker 1: I'm walking into Costco and I made another text to
Speaker 1: the wife. I'm like, hey, I'm here. If you need
Speaker 1: anything else, let me know. And then she said, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I forgot I need a few more things. So okay,
Speaker 1: I got I got the items, and uh, like, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, I think I need to get a shopping
Speaker 1: cart because I was so far away, I could not
Speaker 1: carry everything. I could carry a little thing of coffee,
Speaker 1: but I couldn't carry all these other items that she wanted.
Speaker 3: Don't you secretly love it when they text back, no,
Speaker 3: thank you, I have everything I need.
Speaker 1: When does that happen today? You? Anyway?
Speaker 3: Once in a blue moon.
Speaker 1: So by the by the the items, you know, I
Speaker 1: go get the items. I am in the cart whatever,
Speaker 1: you know. I had to wait in line. Fine, Saturday,
Speaker 1: you know Saturday or whatever it was on at Costco
Speaker 1: during the day. Got everything that was requested and then
Speaker 1: I I put it back in the cart, and I'm
Speaker 1: walking out of the store the buggy and I'm walking
Speaker 1: and then I keep going and then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden things get very awkward, and for a moment, I
Speaker 1: think I'm on that show Punked or one of those
Speaker 1: candid camera TV shows. And I'm not making any of
Speaker 1: this up, but I'm about to tell you I'm not
Speaker 1: making up. This seems like something that is out of
Speaker 1: a TV show trying to goof on somebody, but it
Speaker 1: actually happened. So I have a shopping cart full of
Speaker 1: crap that I didn't think I was going to get.
Speaker 1: I was only there for one item, ended up getting
Speaker 1: all this other stuff. So I'm pushing the shopping cart.
Speaker 1: And remember it was very busy, and I mentioned I
Speaker 1: had to park in this other parking lot which was
Speaker 1: across the street but in near Costco, but in the
Speaker 1: next parking lot over in the same Costco area. But
Speaker 1: it wasn't like I walked out of the shopping center.
Speaker 1: So I'm walking. I get to that street and I
Speaker 1: have to cross the street, and I had to wait
Speaker 1: for cars, and the cars a lot of traffic, and
Speaker 1: so I had to wait for somebody to allow me
Speaker 1: to go through. So I'm walking in the middle of
Speaker 1: the street. I can see my car. I park close
Speaker 1: to the end of the parking lot, which is on
Speaker 1: the other side of the street. So I'm walking and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, hand to God in the middle
Speaker 1: of the f and street while people are staring at me,
Speaker 1: the cart stops on a dime on a dime It
Speaker 1: has one of those magnet things on it where if
Speaker 1: you cross a certain point in the parking lot, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you think you're stealing the cart.
Speaker 3: It's like, Lowjack, Is this like that commercial? Danny?
Speaker 1: You make the call. You're in this situation in the
Speaker 1: middle of the street. You're surrounded by people on all
Speaker 1: sides that are giving you the evil eye the f
Speaker 1: ui what do you do? You make the car? What
Speaker 1: would you do?
Speaker 3: Lift the cart up, move it backwards, and turn in
Speaker 3: the direction it'll drive in.
Speaker 1: Okay, So that was my My initial thought was to
Speaker 1: move it back and then we'll just that'll be That'll
Speaker 1: be the way we do it. That's we're on the
Speaker 1: same train of thought. So I start moving it around.
Speaker 1: It isn't moving, it's not wheeling. Oh shit.
Speaker 3: So when it locks, it just locks for good.
Speaker 1: He did it just locked. So now I'm picking the
Speaker 1: fucking card up and I'm trying to drag it to
Speaker 1: the to the sidewalk, and everyone's staring at me, like
Speaker 1: you asshole. What is wrong with you?
Speaker 2: Hey, asshole?
Speaker 1: You can't Paul kid and and uh And I was,
Speaker 1: you know, I was, I'm very strong person, as you know,
Speaker 1: dy wrong and so I was able to move the
Speaker 1: cart to the sidewalk with a lot of evil. Stairs,
Speaker 1: there was a little dude in a Tesla truck that
Speaker 1: gave me gave me a big stare. Uh So this
Speaker 1: was very embarrass So then I parked on the sidewalk.
Speaker 1: But I'm still not at my car. So now I
Speaker 1: have to do the walk of shamed Danny. I have
Speaker 1: to take a couple of items at a time and
Speaker 1: walk to my car and then walk back while keeping
Speaker 1: one eye on the rest of the stuff in the car. Now,
Speaker 1: the one thing that did make me feel better, even
Speaker 1: though this was the buggy revenge, was that other people
Speaker 1: had the same problem. So it was like a chain
Speaker 1: reaction where there were other people that were also just
Speaker 1: trying to put their groceries in the car, and they
Speaker 1: got to that point in the middle of the street,
Speaker 1: same thing happened, same exact thing happened to them. And
Speaker 1: it was a vaudevillian comedy, is what it was. It
Speaker 1: was just absolutely wonderful. And then I add some people.
Speaker 1: There was this family mom, kid, a couple of kids. Mom,
Speaker 1: her husband and a couple kids, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I guess we're gonna have to have the kids carry
Speaker 1: the groceries back. I'm like, they might want to do that.
Speaker 1: I might want to do that. Great planning, by the way,
Speaker 1: by the people at Costco. They don't have a big
Speaker 1: enough parking lot. And then you have the thing on
Speaker 1: the shopping cart boom right there on the buggy shuts
Speaker 1: down right in the middle of the street, even though
Speaker 1: you have customers parking in the other side of the
Speaker 1: parking lot. Yeah, brilliant, brilliant bullshit. So that was my
Speaker 1: tale of the tape. But that's not the tail of
Speaker 1: the tape.
Speaker 3: Bro. We ended last Saturday's podcast talking about garage sales
Speaker 3: and yard sales, and my wife had this great plan,
Speaker 3: I need to clear out that closet and get this
Speaker 3: in those bags out of the garage and lists and
Speaker 3: lists of different things and different items throughout the house
Speaker 3: that she wanted to just get rid of at a
Speaker 3: garage sale that her aunt was having in Anaheim, California,
Speaker 3: last weekend. Speaking of bad planning Friday, she says, I
Speaker 3: want to load my car ahead of time so that
Speaker 3: tomorrow morning I could get on the road early and
Speaker 3: get there when the garage sale starts. Half the things
Speaker 3: were there already because her mom came ahead of time,
Speaker 3: and my wife has the second half of the junk.
Speaker 3: Guy need to get on the road by six am
Speaker 3: Saturday morning. Well we have a now he just turned
Speaker 3: ten months old. We have a ten month old son.
Speaker 3: As you know, what time do you think realistically she
Speaker 3: got on the road eight o'clock. Well you're good, boom.
Speaker 1: I got Did I get it right?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Two hours late, you're exactly correct. Eight three am.
Speaker 3: She got on the road. So she finally gets there.
Speaker 3: Here's the really good news in this. I didn't have
Speaker 3: to go. I got out of it because I couldn't
Speaker 3: fit in the car with all the stuff. You know,
Speaker 3: she didn't have a ton of my old things, but
Speaker 3: there were jackets and some of my nikes and some
Speaker 3: tims and stuff like that. Uh, you know, older stuff
Speaker 3: but in good condition.
Speaker 1: Come on, Pippin, get your tims off. Did you try
Speaker 1: to go to Rob Parker before you went to.
Speaker 3: The I'm sure Rob would have bought all of it.
Speaker 1: It's time for trash.
Speaker 3: So Ben, She's there for a few hours in Anaheim.
Speaker 3: I think they stayed outside until three pm, and they
Speaker 3: had a pretty good flow of customers. She said, from
Speaker 3: ten to three. How much money do you think she made?
Speaker 1: This must be very low because you're bringing this up.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say two hundred bucks.
Speaker 3: Not a bad guess. She made one hundred dollars, one
Speaker 3: hundred dollars, one hundred dollars from people coming up. Besides
Speaker 3: people who live there in Anaheim, everybody else is busy
Speaker 3: going to theme parks.
Speaker 1: Hot house.
Speaker 3: All right. She has a hoarder aunt, her aunt, wonderful lady,
Speaker 3: lovely lady. She treats all the kids in the family
Speaker 3: like they're her kids, so she's everybody's favorite aunt. But
Speaker 3: she's one of those ladies who has like a thousand
Speaker 3: trinkets on a million sho elves, and everything is cluttered
Speaker 3: and claustrophobic in her house because she collects so many things.
Speaker 3: The family. Oh boy, she went through our stuff before
Speaker 3: the yard sale started. Guess how much money she gave
Speaker 3: for the items that she wanted before they were available
Speaker 3: to the general public.
Speaker 1: Well, I would hope it was more than a what was.
Speaker 3: It, six hundred dollars?
Speaker 1: I'm there, I'm dead sex.
Speaker 3: Weighing in at six hundred dollars. And my better half
Speaker 3: said she felt bad for her uncle she's an enabler.
Speaker 3: She's enabling my aunt to collect even more.
Speaker 1: She's she's giving the facilitating the problem there, helping to
Speaker 1: create the problem. Wow.
Speaker 3: Now, one thing I will say in her aunt's defense,
Speaker 3: the baby clothes and some of the baby items she's
Speaker 3: shipping to other relatives. She is gonna help other families
Speaker 3: with some of the stuff she got, which is nice,
Speaker 3: you know. And she just didn't want the public getting
Speaker 3: that stuff. She's like, I like that, I like that,
Speaker 3: I want that. So she made a huge pile. Now,
Speaker 3: out of the one hundred dollars from real customers, how
Speaker 3: much money do you think of that came to me
Speaker 3: from my gear.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that you got twenty.
Speaker 3: Bucks out of it. Damn, you're on fire.
Speaker 1: My on fire. I'm on fire.
Speaker 3: You're on fire.
Speaker 1: That's called an eddie, Garcia. When I ruined the game,
Speaker 1: that's called the eddie.
Speaker 3: I don't care. I'm leaving goodbye.
Speaker 1: Gotta go to the roulette table, bet on red or
Speaker 1: black and say if you can double that money right there, Dan,
Speaker 1: that's the way to do it. And then again and
Speaker 1: again and again and again and again and again, and
Speaker 1: Annie Man.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Anaheim California. I have a twenty dollars bill
Speaker 3: burning in my pocket.
Speaker 1: You're a baller Danny G the baller Daddy, G Radio
Speaker 1: the baller Daddy. So when it breaks, it crumbles, Danny.
Speaker 1: When it breaks, it crumbles. It has been a very
Speaker 1: expensive a couple of weeks dipping into my rainy day
Speaker 1: fund here, and I've been documenting this on the airwaves
Speaker 1: of the Fifth Hour podcast, so we'll continue this. It
Speaker 1: all started a couple of weeks back in a land
Speaker 1: far far away. You might remember we talked about on
Speaker 1: the podcast. The tire came off the malamobile on the highway.
Speaker 1: On the highway, then found out all the tires need
Speaker 1: to be replace, went to tire iraq dot Com was
Speaker 1: shopping around as I was waiting for the tow to
Speaker 1: take the car and get the car fixed. So that
Speaker 1: costs a fair amount of money.
Speaker 3: Mark sponsor read let's see how far into the podcast
Speaker 3: we are.
Speaker 1: But no, it is it's a the tire rack tire
Speaker 1: decision guy. I believe it's what it's called. It's it's wonderful.
Speaker 3: So twenty minutes, eighteen seconds say we got the read.
Speaker 1: Boom, So then we move ahead in the story, and
Speaker 1: a couple of days after that, I was driving back
Speaker 1: to so Cal and to my home in the Malor
Speaker 1: Mansion in SoCal from a way location and was rear ended.
Speaker 1: The malamobile rear ended. So I've been driving a rental
Speaker 1: with South Dakota license plates, spending extra money out of
Speaker 1: a pocket because insurance doesn't cover the full amount for
Speaker 1: the rental car that I needed. So I'm paying a
Speaker 1: little extra every day. And then this past week, yet again,
Speaker 1: when it breaks, it crumbles. The thing of a jig
Speaker 1: goes sideways. Was using the Malor phone, using the Malor phone,
Speaker 1: and I was noticing that there was a glitch on
Speaker 1: the keyboard, that certain letters on the keyboard were not working,
Speaker 1: and that when I was playing my scrabble game, I
Speaker 1: was unable to move certain parts of the scrabble board.
Speaker 1: And so I thought it was a glitch. I'd got
Speaker 1: my phone updated recently, so I thought, well, that must
Speaker 1: be it. I just must have There must be something
Speaker 1: with the phone update that caused the problem. So I
Speaker 1: went on to a couple of websites troubleshooting and they said, well,
Speaker 1: this might be it, you know, and you can do
Speaker 1: this and that but it got to the point where
Speaker 1: I could not even reset my phone. That my phone
Speaker 1: was so messed up. I could not even reset it
Speaker 1: couldn't do that at all. And so I went to
Speaker 1: the Apple store to have my phone examined at they
Speaker 1: call it the Genius Bar. Have you been to the
Speaker 1: Genius Bar?
Speaker 3: I have. Did you have to make an appointment ahead
Speaker 3: of time?
Speaker 1: I did? I did made an appointment. I was there
Speaker 1: on time. They then had me sit around and wait
Speaker 1: because I went at the wrong time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a doctor's office.
Speaker 1: So I was there waiting whatever, and gave my phone over.
Speaker 1: They do the diagnostic test on the phone, and the
Speaker 1: person was very nice. He said, let's see what's going
Speaker 1: on with your phone. Okay, here's the diagnosis. And he
Speaker 1: then said, I've got bad news for you. Yet. Your
Speaker 1: screen is broke. There's and he showed me exactly, there's
Speaker 1: a line down my screen that.
Speaker 3: Just is dead.
Speaker 1: He says, oh, and also your battery is dead. So
Speaker 1: I can get you a new battery and a new screen.
Speaker 1: And with tax and all fees included, it's like four
Speaker 1: hundred bucks.
Speaker 3: All right, that's cheaper than a new phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but my I had an iPhone eleven. So it
Speaker 1: was I kind of as getting getting a little old
Speaker 1: or whatever. So I made the decision Danny, I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, I need a new phone. I used,
Speaker 1: I'm on the phone all the time.
Speaker 3: Who's the baller now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm like, oh, let's get a new phone.
Speaker 1: So then I then, you know, they try to upsell
Speaker 1: your like, yah, you'll probably just get a new phone.
Speaker 1: But you know, if you want, we can fix it.
Speaker 1: You know it'll be as good as new. So I
Speaker 1: was like whatever. So he told me to go over
Speaker 1: to the front. He says, wait over here, we'll get
Speaker 1: you somebody to process your new phone. And so okay
Speaker 1: and uh and then the genius bar guy was very kind.
Speaker 1: I went over there. I waited, I waited, I waited,
Speaker 1: the waiting game games tick tick tick tck tck tck
Speaker 1: tck tck tck tck dick. And I finally said, my
Speaker 1: time is the most valuable resource I have. These people
Speaker 1: aren't helping me. I am willing to give them a
Speaker 1: lot of money for a phone made in a sweatshop
Speaker 1: in China.
Speaker 3: I'm out.
Speaker 1: And so I just walked out with my broken iPhone
Speaker 1: tail between my legs. I walked out. I said I
Speaker 1: will come back to fight another day, and I waited
Speaker 1: several more days. In the middle of the week, on
Speaker 1: a school night, I went back to the Apple store
Speaker 1: and then they gave you the whole spiel. Well, would
Speaker 1: you like to do you like to get a new phone?
Speaker 1: Do you want to? You know you have? What phone
Speaker 1: company do you have? You can get a free phone,
Speaker 1: You're eligible for a free phone, that whole thing. But
Speaker 1: I didn't do the free phone thing because I know
Speaker 1: that's a scam, so I ended up paying. I think
Speaker 1: by the time I got done, it was like a
Speaker 1: thousand bucks a thousand bucks, which really kicked me in
Speaker 1: the nuts. But I do I do believe, Danny, you
Speaker 1: should try at all costs to avoid the free offer
Speaker 1: that most phone companies have. It's mostly a scam.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a free dick up you know where.
Speaker 1: Exactly because they're really just they're locking you in to
Speaker 1: the old member remember the old phone contracts, Danny, that
Speaker 1: you had to have, and they got rid of that
Speaker 1: a few years back. But they handcuff you because of
Speaker 1: the phone. It's only free as long as you stay
Speaker 1: with the phone company, which means they can raise the
Speaker 1: prices and you still can't leave, and you got to
Speaker 1: stay with them for a couple of years.
Speaker 3: It's blackmail.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So when anytime you get a no cost offer,
Speaker 1: and it's whether it's phones or anything else, the free
Speaker 1: is not free. There is no such thing as a
Speaker 1: free launch. It's like you try to explain that to people,
Speaker 1: and there's there's a lot of I call them dumb people.
Speaker 1: They don't understand. It's like when the government gives out
Speaker 1: money someone that money's coming from somewhere. It's not nothing free,
Speaker 1: like when during the pandemic when Biden was cutting checks.
Speaker 1: You know at the end there for everybody and all
Speaker 1: that it's not free. It's coming from somewhere. And they
Speaker 1: give you a free phone, they're doing They're not doing
Speaker 1: that out of the kindness of their heart. They're doing
Speaker 1: that because they're gonna get you another way. So anyway,
Speaker 1: that's that was the thing ajig that went aside, which
Speaker 1: we have the we have here. Let's see, you know,
Speaker 1: I think we have the bonus phrase of the week.
Speaker 1: Are you ready for the bonus phrase of the week.
Speaker 3: Wait, this is like double your pleasure.
Speaker 1: Kil you get more rotation with two hands, W A pleasure,
Speaker 1: W your fun double mcgum.
Speaker 3: Phrase of the Week.
Speaker 1: The A wild Man from Morgantown, West Virginia, writes, and
Speaker 1: he says, when asking for a cup of coffee, have
Speaker 1: you ever referred to it as a cup of joe?
Speaker 1: I know, I've heard people say it. Heck, even I have.
Speaker 1: Where did it come from? Just wondering if you could
Speaker 1: find out. Well, wild Man, your lucky day has come.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the email, and this was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I did not I've heard the phrase. I did not
Speaker 1: know where it came from. It is a spiteful phrase, Danny.
Speaker 1: The term a cup.
Speaker 3: Of joe, Well, that's perfect because remember the famous curbed
Speaker 3: where he does the Spike Cafe and he oh, yeah, Joe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, moy Joe's yeah yeah yeah. So the phrase a
Speaker 1: cup of joe originated in the United States Navy. In
Speaker 1: nineteen fourteen, the US Navy Secretary of this guy named
Speaker 1: Joseph Daniels banned all alcohol from US Navy vessels. How
Speaker 1: do you think the Navy, the semen in the Navy
Speaker 1: felt about that, Danny. Do you think they liked that
Speaker 1: they had banned alcohol from the Navy vessels?
Speaker 3: No? Not at all.
Speaker 1: So the Navy soldiers referred to their coffee as a
Speaker 1: cup of joe out of spite against the US Navy Secretary,
Speaker 1: Joseph S. Daniels was his name, and the term obviously
Speaker 1: had it stuck, so it's not as old as you
Speaker 1: might think. He goes back over years. But the term
Speaker 1: cup of Joe is a way to say screw you
Speaker 1: to the secretary of the Navy.
Speaker 3: I think most people are like me and thought it
Speaker 3: had some sort of connection to java or you know,
Speaker 3: something to do with coffee.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well those are and those are other slang terms
Speaker 1: for coffee called java or jamoke is another term that
Speaker 1: people use for coffee. But no, the actual cup of
Speaker 1: joe was a way to protest, a silent protest the
Speaker 1: guy that was in charge of the Navy.
Speaker 3: What was his last name?
Speaker 1: Uh, well Daniels.
Speaker 3: Could have been a cup of Daniels.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a cup of D.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a cup of D.
Speaker 1: What do you having? I'm having a cup of D.
Speaker 1: That's when I'm having a big cup of D. Big big,
Speaker 1: big cup of DY.
Speaker 3: That's wanted yours in a big metal cup.
Speaker 1: Giant metal cock. Can I have a side of cod?
Speaker 3: Peace?
Speaker 1: Can I have a side of the cod. I can't
Speaker 1: have a side, all right, A very good nice All right,
