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

And my name's Mike. Hi, Mike. Hey, how are you, Bev? I'm pretty good. I'm glad we're finally recording and sitting here in front of our cameras in front of our micro, I was going to say microwaves.

There's no microwaves in there. Nothing to know of. You are a hot mess today. Why is that? Please, please tell me more. Oh my gosh. Mike had me laughing so hard before we hit record because the cameras were off a little bit. So he kept popping out of his chair, tripping over everything. Our dog is trying to sleep peacefully next to me. And she kept like jolting and jolting so i'd make a loud

noise it's it's not good oh my gosh you're so funny you know we're an independent podcast we don't have a lot of these people to hire like some of those other podcasts out there so certainly don't at least not yet but you know what some somewhere on the line eventually we'll have a professional doing these sort of things in the meantime i'm going to be the guy and that's all right hey you're a good got to have. Thank you. I appreciate it. I'm going to keep you. Yeah. And how's, how's life going for you?

It looks pretty good. You got,, I'm going to be the guy. And that's all right. Hey, you're a good guy to have. Thank you. I appreciate it. I'm going to keep you. Yeah. And how's, how's life going for you?

It looks pretty good. You got, like I said, the chrome nails. I think I mentioned that last time.

I don't know if you did. But yeah, first time I've ever had chrome nails. You got brand new haircut. Yes, I got my hair on. Finally, my goodness. If you ever have the grays coming through, that L'Oreal spray, it's called, I think, Magic Touch or something like that, it is a freaking lifesaver. That thing comes out and it's like, you know, take care of all the grays and, yes, patch me up until I can see my stylist again. I don't even have any hair, so I don't know what you're talking about. And also, I probably need a shave on my body. You do. You need a head to toe. Well, not head to toe. Let's just say head to belly button. Head to belly button shearing like a sheep. I take Mike in the bathroom like a sheep and just, just shave him for 45 minutes. That's kind of our thing before we go on a cruise.

She's like,

all right.

It's a lot of work. Take the shirt off. Here we go. It takes a lot of time. Yeah, this hair you see if you're watching on YouTube, it just keeps going all the way around, all the shoulders, back, stomach, everything. So every once in a while, I'll share like a shirtless thing online. and then the gay bear community tends to enjoy it quite a bit.

And I appreciate you guys.

I appreciate you. I don't swing that way, but that's cool. You're like a little baboon. Yeah, a big baboon. Um, so and then I went down to Sarasota, Florida and I got two new tattoos. I think we mentioned in the previous episode that I was doing that.

If you're on Instagram, you probably saw that. And I did just that. But if you didn't see,

I got our kids birth flowers. I still have like a welt from the bandage. I forgot what that's

called. But, um, and then I did my mom's handwriting in her honor. And what does it say?

It says our sunshine, because that's what my mom used to call me. And you got it from a card that she actually wrote. Yeah, she wrote it in 1998 when we were away at NIU, go huskies. Yeah. Yeah. So it's, and meanwhile, I'm just sitting here. And I got nothing new to report. Like, just I'm just me. You're just as dashing as handsome as handsome as ever that's right that's what I do that's it's kind of how I roll um yeah and other than that we always got our daughters like calling every single day after school having us take her somewhere every single day it's either a friend's house or the friends come over or she wants to go to the library or something and I believe Allison was quoted today as saying, so help me

God, if she asked to go anywhere today, I'm going to lose it. I said, I'm going to put my head

through a window. I am so exhausted today. I have zero energy. So before we started recording, I was like,

I'm in perimenopause. Is this normal? And it says, yes, it's very normal.

Yes, chat, GPT. Oh, it doesn't matter how many hours I sleep. I got like seven hours and 45 minutes of sleep last night. And I'm just dragging. Everybody's going through a lot. It's getting older. It's preparing to die. Yeah. It's just kind of wrapping everything up. All right, everybody, get out of the studio.

It's time to shut this thing down.

And I had an especially hard workout this morning. Yeah. It's just kind of wrapping everything up. It's like, all right, everybody, get out of the studio.
