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, Allison. How are you? Good. Why do you have a

shart eating grin on your face? You mean a eating grin? Mike was playing around with the

button. So here was our line. What the f was he doing? That guy's a real piece of

these are the things. You sound like a smoker. I do. It's allergy. I swear. You're not going to catch anything. These are the things that make us laugh. Yeah, we're just like, literally, we were taking minutes before this. We were like, oh, no, you're such a piece of on this mother... Nice. Oh, great. And I got to actually clip that.

So, um, we were having issues with the camera. I should say I was having issues with the camera. And I was like, I did not hit the record button. And Mike's like, well, it's recording. And it's been recording for about 25 seconds. I see that it says 25 seconds, 26. And I was like, well, it wasn't me. He's like, well, apparently there's a ghost in the room.

I was there a minute and a half ago, and you were there 30 seconds ago.

So you got you don't know how to happen but you had to have done it you're a magic lady you are a magic lady is what you are uh how's life going for you and oh just in case you're new here we should do a quick intro but yeah we Allison tells a new story every single week. I'm Allison.

Yes, we already did that.

They know Allison, Mike, you got that much down.

But you do a new story every week, hours and hours of meticulous research. I've never heard any of it. And I keep touching you with my pen. I was just making sure you didn't have the pen side on me. I could. Let's see. Yeah. So Mike is hearing the case for the first time right alongside you guys. So it's all news to him.

Yeah. I'm kind of reacting. Asking, asking the questions you might have too.

This is our fifth year of podcasting and we're loving it. And we thank you all for being here listening because without your support, we wouldn't have anything to be doing. Yeah, we have about a five minute, five to eight, five to eight minute coffee chat beforehand just to kind of warm things up.

You know, you guys are all our friends, you know, catch you up on how things are going.

You guys can tell us, we'll listen.

You know, we're listening right now. Go ahead. Tell us how things are going. I hope it's going well. And we come to find that some people hate banter. Some people love it. But I always read the quote. If you try to make everyone in life happy, you're going to lose and you're going to make yourself miserable.

So you can skip.
