National Coffee Day: Mike O’Brian Has Never Had A Cup
It seems odd, but as we celebrate National Coffee Day today, I have never had a cup of joe! Never, ever in my life have I ever had a sip! Not sure why and you’d think waking up early all these years I would have right? Just never smelled appealing to me I guess.
As we’ve talked more and more about this on The Mike & Carla Morning Show, listeners are shocked (SHOCKED!). Having done morning radio for almost 40 years, getting up early you would think differently. It’s that one thing that people have to have in the morning. Just to kick start their morning right?
Believe it or not, never had a cup of coffee!
It’s like a ritual for some…whether it’s making a fresh pot at home or stopping at your favorite spot on the way to work. I know other people in the business that swear by this stuff, it was never my cup of tea…or should I say, “cup of Joe?”
Not sure why either. I know I mentioned the smell…it just didn’t do anything for me. And trust me, even my wife has tried to get me to sample a cup of her freshly perked. Nope, not gonna try it…sorry. And I’ve heard it all, “…maybe you just haven’t had the right brand!”
A lot of people are amazed that I can even function this early in the morning without it! They swear by it, have to have it and sometimes, more often than not, have to have more than one cup!
For the record, not a big fan of tea either! Same thing…the smell alone has never been appealing to me. Granted, I have tasted tea…by mistake! One of the worst experiences of my life.
Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against the stuff, just don’t care for it. On the other hand, my wife loves it. Has her special “card” so she can treat herself to a special cup each and every Friday. That’s great and I can appreciate that.
But as most will celebrate today by taking advantage of a FREE cup here or discounted cup there…I will pass thank you!
