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

Allison. And my name's Mike. Hi, Mike. Hey, Al, how are you? Got your lacy red best. I do. I'm bringing

my best today. That's right. That's right. Or I was giving our son a hug. He was leaving for

baseball practice this morning. And he's like,

why are you wearing such an uncomfortable material? I'm like, because I'm going to be on YouTube. Yeah, but you're like, so thanks anyways. I love you too, son. Thank you for saying I look nice, son. And putting some good thoughts into my head. You know, if you ever want to boost in your self-esteem, do not go and talk to a teenager because you will immediately be the

lamest person in the room. And the word lame is not cool either. Yeah, I guess it's not. Oh,

I saw these Instagram reels where they're talking like, I don't know what the latest generation

is, like whoever's in high school now, Gen. I don't even know what generation I am. I think we're Generation X and Millennial, like somewhere between there. We're not really millennials, but I know a decent amount about computers. And I feel like I grew up with them. So I feel like I'm like an honorary millennial. But we're Gen X, basically. Okay. So there's like X, Millennials. And then I don't know, Alpha, Beta, Zeta. I don't know what to help. No idea. But then there's this one real where they're like, oh, when you're going out with a new like,

you know,

Gen Alpha co-worker or something. And they're like, oh, this place is giving Italian. And then they're like, well, yeah, it's an Italian restaurant. It's an Italian restaurant. That's why it's giving Italian. Literally, they're giving you Italian food. But like that, that saying is like giving Italian restaurant. That's why it's giving Italian. Literally, they're giving you Italian food.

Yeah, but like that, that saying is like giving Italian vibes, but they don't say vibes anymore. And now it's just like, now, oh, this is so giving besties. It's like giving best, like this is, you know, every generation has their own way of talking and stuff. And it's just, it's funny. And also where you're from in the country, too.

Yeah, and not every generation is the same.

I hate when people start talking, like, we have this inside joke. way of talking and stuff. And it's just, it's funny. And also where you're from in the country, too.

Yeah. And not every generation is the same. I hate when people start talking, like, we have this inside joke in our family where some people start talking about generations and like, oh, this generation doesn't do this anymore. It's usually old idiots that are like, well, they don't work hard and whatever. Crotchety. Just putting people in a box. Yeah, I try to never do that.

You know, like, let people put themselves in their own box, not just because of an age or whatever

it might be.

That is a pet pee. just putting people in a box. Yeah, I try to never do that. You know, like, let people put themselves in their own box.

It's not just because of an age or whatever it might be. That is a pet peeve of mine when people do try to label me or put me in a box and just, you know, because I'm a certain way. It's like, no, I am just who I am. I'm not, you know, I don't know. Like whatever you're from Chicago, you from Chicago, you do it this way or, um, you're this age and you didn't grow up with this or whatever. So, yeah, it's just like, it's so stupid. Is it possible? Sure. So my son, like, we were at Christmas and some family members said something about generations. And he texted me on the side. He's like, oh, I can't listen to this guy anymore. And now he's talking about generations. And it's like, yeah, I'm like, well, it's funny. Just listen to him.

Like, just treat it as like it's funny.

Yeah.

So how's that life going? I know one thing I'd like to bring up, if that's okay. Sure. I am going to become a concrete professional for the weekend because I got to fill this is not a good thing. So please pray for me or if you believe in any sort of higher being,

just please put my good thoughts out there so that I can fill concrete into this void under our floor that we have because insurance isn't paying for it. So I'm going to have to fill it up
