  • #492 - Murder Moves In - Summerville, South Carolina
    May 17 2024

    This week, in Summerville, South Carolina, two women meet in rehab, and one invites the other to live at her house, rent free. This new tenant has a cray past, and present, because she is a meth smoking, pill popping, booze swilling maniac, with an estranged husband, living behind a Wal Mart. Problems arise with the roommates, resulting in a most heartless, and brutal murder. But was it the roommate, or her abusive husband? Secret recordings answer it all!!


    Along the way, we find out that there is a birthplace of sweet tea, that you shouldn't invite people home from rehab to live with you, that when your husband lives behind a Wal Mart, anything is possible!!

  • #491 - Sibling Death Rivalry - Kalamazoo Township, Michigan
    May 16 2024

    This week, in Kalamazoo Township, Michigan, when bodies start to be found all over the place, no could have predicted that this was two brothers, in some kind of competition with each other, but it may be just that. Two brothers, both serial killers, but not together, and they kill for much different motives. A crazy tale, involving serial killing, strange name changes... and a chimpanzee!!


    Along the way, we find out that you shouldn't get drunk, and start naming things, that you shouldn't ever mess with the "human/chimp bond", and that just because your brother kills 5 people, it doesn't mean you should, too!!

  • #490 - Hot Tub Horrors - Hot Springs, Montana
    May 10 2024

    This week, in Hot Springs, Montana, a simple night of some cousins, getting together to drink, and enjoy the natural hot tubs turns into a horrific killing of one of the cousins, by another. This seemingly unprovoked, and brutal killing truly puzzles the whole family. Especially, since this murder has an even more unexpected, and brutal cherry on top. It's a very strange man, committing an even stranger murder!!


    Along the way, we find out that apparently Spanish baroque music is popular in the western mountains, that when someone, who isn't a doctor, tells you to "drop your swim trunks & turn around" you might be in a lot of trouble, and that a terrible murder is never just someone making a big deal out of nothing!!

These stories make my day.

In this crazy world, these two get me through (make me laugh when I really shouldn't).

Not what you think...and more.

The most entertaining, self-aware, and rational podcast of the most wild and wooly cases, ever. Some might find this show offensive, but if you spend enough time with James and Jimmie, you'll discover that along with the comedy is substance and depth. James is probably the hardest working true crime podcaster out there. You get more than your money's worth from his case research...and Jimmie provides the reaction catharsis needed. Their broadcast chemistry is the best out there and for two guys who claim limited formal education, offer up juvenile razzing of a broad range of subcultures (especially their own), and a liberal smattering of dick jokes, they've created one of the smartest podcasts out there.

Trust the process

There are many true crime and comedy shows out there now (ex. “my favourite murder”) but contrary to many others James and Jimmie devote significant time to the story and the victims rather than a 15 minute overview and then talking only of themselves. The comedy portion comes from the weirdness of small towns, idiotic murderers and inept systems.

This is one of the few weekly podcasts I never miss! James and Jimmie are great finding a good balance between respect and humour while always having hilarious tangents (RIP Italian Grandma and I just realized Jimmie hasn’t had an Andrew Jackson moment in a while…).

Yaaaaaaay!

James and Jimmie are the best! Hilarious, respectful, and absolutely full of excellent pop culture references. Make sure you've seen Goodfellas.

Always Great!

These guys together make me laugh so much. The topic can be grim but they're respectful guys, and they tell the story in a respectful way, whilst making jokes at the expense of the small towns, cops, and usually stupid killers.

Quality podcast. Well researched

I don’t regularly write reviews, but the amount of work that goes into this highly entertaining podcast deserves some recognition. I’m still working on the back catalogue. There have been times I’ve laughed so hard my son came to check on me. Well done guys,
