Hello, everyone. Welcome back to another episode with the crime and coffee couple. My name's Allison.

And my name's Mike. I'm getting the finger guns over here at the camera. You're a little psycho today. I'll tell you that.

I'm sorry for trying to get stuff done for once. I mean, he is puttering around this room like a cracked out monkey. Puttering and cracked out monkey, don't go together. Well, okay, fine. You weren't puttering. You weren't bumbling around the room. You wouldn't think that you speak professionally, like, as a profession. You couldn't come up with the word comparison or something like that in the kitchen about five minutes ago. Yeah, then you help me. but I'm not the one that talks all day long every day. That's true. You're always like, blah, blah, blah, blah. Did you know about this? Oh my gosh, getting these cameras set up. And then our cat slinks in and he's a psychopath. I noticed that the wallpaper behind us has like scratch marks on it. I'm like that little MFer. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of

things that, uh, we're, we're a typical family. We got plenty of problems all over us. And yeah, I'm, I'm one of them. The cats are some of them. And Allison's perfect, luckily. So luckily she does no wrong. That's for sure. That's not true. I, we know that's not true. Everybody Listening knows that's not true.

You're insane.

You're out of your mind.

So if you're new to us, welcome.

We are the crime and coffee couple. We're highly dysfunctional. We've been married for almost 24 years. I don't know. We're not dysfunctional at all. I wouldn't say that whatsoever. I'm just joking. Yeah. I, of course, I'm Allison, and that's Mike. Mike, yeah. And Mike sits and he ms Oz, as I tell him a story that he has yet to hear. He has no idea what I'm presenting to him. So as you guys are hearing it, so is Mike. And I generally never looked into true crime in my life. Like, if I happen to walk by and date lines on, I'll stop and watch. but I would never seek out, like, on Netflix,

like a documentary about crime. Like, that sounds terrible. Like, why would I want to have negative thoughts on my head? But now, like, a lot of these stories definitely deserve to be told. So they're, they're definitely interesting. And it's so sad hearing about these people. I try to keep the negative out of my life. But, um, you know, twice a week, uh, plus. You're in it. I'm in.

And also the TikToks and videos and all that stuff.

If you ever send us a message anywhere on social media, it's always me just so you know. Like all of our longtime listeners know that because I'll just get a message like, hey, Mike, blah, blah, blah. Right. So it's me all the time. So, but yeah, we're, how's your week going here so far?

I'd say pretty good.

I started a new book and I was going so far? I'd say pretty good.

I started a new book and I was going to look it up and I totally forgot. So we'll get back around to that. Yeah. And while we were thinking about that, I want to mention more about myself. I'm having a banner week. I, oh, God, I just hit the microphone. I thought you were having a banner week. Right now I am. That doesn't make things bad.

I'm having some Yerba Mata.

I don't know why.

When it gets really cold, just hit the microphone. I thought you were having a banner week. Right now I am. That doesn't make things bad.

I'm having some Yerba Mate.

I don't know why. When it gets really cold out here and then we live in Florida, it is cold. It's like 40 or 50 right now. Sorry for everybody else is where it's like zero. Tomorrow the windchell is going to be down to eight degrees in Florida. Yeah. That's all Fahrenheit. Celsius. I don't know. You guys make the conversion.

But yeah, this is a Yerba Mote tea today for some reason. I got myself a new kettle from Amazon. So with certain teas, you have to brew them at certain temperatures, like 170 for like Yerba Mote. And then there's like black tea and white tea and green tea different temperatures and stuff. And I'm just having so much fun with it. It has a little goose neck so I can pour it like correctly.

This sounds so dorky and lame, but I'm actually excited by it. Well, because our previous kettle, it just simply boiled. And that makes the Yerba-Mate very bitter. It burns it. It burns it. So maybe you should link the teapot. It's really cute. We have like a little tea station in our kitchen so we keep it out and it's very visually appealing. It's a little teapot. It's really cute. We have like a little tea station in our kitchen, so we keep it out,

and it's very visually appealing. It's a little teapot. It's not so short and stout, but there's definitely a handle in a spout. That's very true, Mike. Very cute. Yeah, that's a little reference that song. So the book that I'm reading is, Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? And it's by Dr. Julie Smith, and it's a self-help book, which I'm a lover of anything self-help because...
