Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode with the crime and coffee couple. My name's Allison. And my name's Mike. Hello, Mike. Hey, Alejandro. How are you? I'm doing all right. How are you? That's not her actual name. It's Allison is her full name. Just so, you know, in case any new listeners and everything, it's Allison. Ali, Alejandro. I'm good. I'm really good. I'm feeling ready to go.

I'm, you know Allison. Ali Alejandro. I'm good. I'm really good. I'm feeling ready to go. I'm a nice morning here, beautiful morning in Tampa, Florida. And yeah, just excited to be here with you and all the listeners. So thanks. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, we're a couple every single Sunday. We come out with a brand new episode. We've been married over 20 years now,

right? It'll be 24 this year. Dating since 1996. Actually, this case takes place in 1996. Wow. How about that? So that's, I mean, that's a long time. We're very, very old, I would say. Are you tired of me yet? no no i don't think so i'm not right now the second could change it any minute who knows but um yeah

every single sunday And I have no idea what she's going to talk about. So it's something I'd dive into. And you know, we used to say like a hate true crime. I would never seek it out to like go listen to or watch. Like I probably wouldn't do any of that. I do all my, you know, some TikToks and stuff for all the listeners and everything. But it's not something that I seek out, but it's, I mean, you have a way

of telling a story. So these are, these are horrible, horrible stories. We always say the worst day in

these people's lives, their whole family and everything. And it's like they deserve to be remembered.

So what's been going on with you lately? I, you know, we've got this crazy house here where my family, my parents, my mom and dad, who are, my dad's 83, she's going to be 83 this year. My mom's 78 right now. And they're from Chicago for like three weeks. So it was actually almost four. Oh, my gosh. So they are a little challenge. We love them. God love them. And they listen to our

podcast. Well, at least my mom does, I think. My dad's trying to, he, God bless them. He wants to tell everybody about our podcast. He's like, how do I tell my friends about your radio station? And we're like, it's not radio, but you could say crime and coffee couple. And like they live in the 55 and over community. so they're just hanging out with a bunch of 70 and 80 year olds.

So if one of you are listening to this at some point, some like magical miracle, then welcome to the show. But he's he wants to make business cards. Well, he's proud of his son. Yeah. And daughter-in-law. And he wants to, I was like, well, maybe we can put a QR code on the business card. I was like, I don't know if, like, my dad doesn't really know how to scan QR codes.

I'm like, it's just know if, like, my dad doesn't really know

how to scan QR codes. I'm like, it's just like you're taking a picture and then a link pops up. Yeah. And it's not because of like they're stupid or anything. They just didn't grow up with technology. So it seems like a foreign concept. Yeah. So where I'm just like, I'll just make you some business cards and just have them type it into Google if they know what that is.

And then, yeah, we'll see where they go.

Oh, it's just make you some business cards and just have them type it into Google if they know what that is. And then, yeah, we'll see where they go. Oh, it's just never a dull moment. And we had that flood in our house at the beginning of this year. It wasn't necessarily a flood. It was a leak. And our floors got damaged. So we finally got those fixed this week. And so we had a contractor here doing the work and just, you know, never a dull

moment. But we are so thankful that they are able to be here and visiting with us. And you have to

just embrace those chaotic moments. And, you know, sometimes when you have PMS and your mother

in law spills 44 ounces of sticky swig in your kitchen for the second time. Second time? Well, the other one was out on the patio at least. She spills. So my mom is like known for spilling all the time. Even 30 years ago when she was in her 40s, she would, she was known to spill. She was one of the first people I knew that carried water around. Like like it was kind of new then. And my dad

always made fun of her. He's like, you think you're going to run out of water? Like, you're

going to be thirsty in the middle of a desert. And like every time before a car, she'd have a huge cup of water with her. I could relate to that now. Yeah. I don't go anywhere without water. Everybody's got their Yeties or whatever. And it's like, so she was always one of those people and like at a restaurant she'd reached

across for something in a gigantic water glass just gone like entirely or like a sticky martini

yeah it's just be all over everything so every time she's walking around with a cup or we're like

oh please please mom watch out she's like I know I know I'm like I know you know but you've got a

history and I heard it as in the office I was working like right over here the other day. And I hear it go push. I was like, I mean, a flood and mango chunks are scattered across the kitchen floor. And that's the worst, the stickiness. Yeah. Like if it's water, it's fine. It's like anything sticky. Like wipe it up. It's fine.
