- 0:55Speaker 1: promote Charlie. Did you dance down the hallway?
- 0:57Speaker 2: Not at all.
- 0:58Speaker 1: You didn't dance?
- 0:58Speaker 3: Come on.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Mr.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars, you didn't dance that hard.
- 1:03Speaker 2: I don't understand why it is I say I'm not
- 1:05Speaker 2: going to do something I don't do, and people are
- 1:08Speaker 2: shocked by it.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Not even a bunny hop? Come on.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Not at all.
- 1:10Speaker 1: I walked out and said high five.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Boo!
- 1:14Speaker 2: Boo!
- 1:14Speaker 3: Boo hiss!
- 1:15Speaker 1: Boo hiss! Boo hiss! I'm way too over peer pressure.
- 1:18Speaker 1: My peer pressures are in. My peers are in there.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Blue plate is special. You look nice just the same.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that.
- 1:29Speaker 2: I was watching... I forgot what it was the other night.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Do you know where Starbucks came from?
- 1:35Speaker 1: I don't. Seattle?
- 1:37Speaker 3: I have no idea.
- 1:38Speaker 1: But do you know where the name came from?
- 1:40Speaker 3: Maybe somebody's last name is Star and they got a
- 1:43Speaker 3: lot of books?
- 1:44Speaker 2: It was the first mate in Harold Melville's.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Moby Dick. So the first mate, his name was Starbucks.
- 1:58Speaker 1: And he was a Mormon. He was a Quaker.
- 2:01Speaker 2: And he didn't drink it. I was a Quaker from Nantucket.
- 2:03Speaker 2: And he was like Captain Ahab's, you know, conscience. So
- 2:08Speaker 2: when they were thinking of coffee and how somebody was
- 2:12Speaker 2: sober and all that kind of stuff, they named it
- 2:14Speaker 2: after that guy.
- 2:15Speaker 1: That's a reach right there. His name after him. And
- 2:19Speaker 1: why I know this.
- 2:20Speaker 3: Well, why else would you know this? Of all people,
- 2:22Speaker 3: why would you know this?
- 2:24Speaker 2: Because years ago, my teacher, Irma Bailey, she read Moby
- 2:31Speaker 2: Dick to us, and she read The Iliad to us.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Okay. Can I ask you a question without being disrespectful?
- 2:38Speaker 3: Moby Dick is a long book. It is. You stayed
- 2:40Speaker 3: for the whole book?
- 2:41Speaker 1: Well, she didn't read it at one time. I know,
- 2:43Speaker 1: I know. I was in the fifth grade, fourth grade. So,
- 2:46Speaker 1: of course, I stayed. What was I going to do?
- 2:47Speaker 1: Ditch the fourth grade. I mean, you ditched the rest.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I thought maybe you started early.
- 2:52Speaker 2: But I always knew that the first mate's name was Starbuck.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I just never put two and two together. Until now.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Until I was like, I was just in the middle
- 3:03Speaker 1: of the night. I was like, wait a minute. You
- 3:04Speaker 1: woke up in the middle of the night with that thought.
- 3:06Speaker 1: I went, wait a minute.
- 3:07Speaker 2: I said, that's where that came from. For no reason
- 3:09Speaker 2: at all. Lord have mercy. And so I didn't read
- 3:13Speaker 2: that well. And Miss Bailey would. I don't know if
- 3:15Speaker 2: anybody did.
- 3:16Speaker 1: We had to.
- 3:16Speaker 2: She read us the Iliad, Homer's Iliad, which is the
- 3:21Speaker 2: Trojan War and all that kind of stuff. When we
- 3:22Speaker 2: just went and saw that. And she read us this.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Moby Dick.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Captain.
- 3:28Speaker 3: And that is a whole book.
- 3:29Speaker 1: You remember. And I remember.
- 3:30Speaker 2: No, I remember Homer's Iliad. I remember Odysseus. I remember
- 3:34Speaker 2: all those things, too. But I remember it. that the
- 3:37Speaker 2: character was Starbuck. But I never put together that it was,
- 3:44Speaker 2: that's who the coffee company was named after. Now, if
- 3:46Speaker 2: you can't seem to hold down a job, we're going
- 3:48Speaker 2: to tell you why. Jasmine, give us five workplace antics
