  • #486 - Date Night Death - Long Branch, New Jersey
    Apr 26 2024

    This week, in, Long Branch, New Jersey, a respected woman is murdered, in the street, as people from a nearby restaurant hear her screams, all while her cop husband rushes to the scene. Was it just a robbery? Or was it an intricate plot, with many dismissed alternate murder plans, that ended up in this awful & vicious killing? In the end, we get a recorded call, between the killers, explaining the whole sordid tale!


    Along the way, we find out that we don't need clowns at the beach, that if you're a 43 year old married man, it's going to be trouble to date a 20 year old woman, and that if you actually do the stabbing, you definitely have to go to prison!!

  • #485 - Adopting Murder - Cape St Claire, Maryland
    Apr 25 2024

    This week, in Cape St Claire, Maryland, a couple tries to build a family, by adopting children, who come from rough beginnings, but when they are brutally killed, in their own home, the suspicion falls on the adopted teenage sons. Was it the one who they kicked out of the house, for being combative? Or, was it the quiet one, who never talked back? A truly bizarre & awful killing, that unfolds into a very, very strange story!


    Along the way, we find out that everybody loves strawberries, that when you adopt kids, it's not like the trial period for a streaming app, and that you truly can't tell a book by its cover!!

  • #484 - The Oatmeal Killer - Carmel, Indiana
    Apr 19 2024

    This week, in Carmel, Indiana, a custody battle between exes turns dangerous, when one starts asking around, about any hitmen that can help out. When none seem to be available, the whole thing turns into a ridiculous comedy of of errors, involving the killer's children, and other exes, before this person finally succeeds with the murder, using some of the strangest weapons that we've heard of... oatmeal, a neck tie, and fentanyl.


    Along the way, we find out that Greeks use unmelting cheese, that you usually don't reheat oatmeal, and that you shouldn't try to enlist everyone you've ever met, in your murder plot!!

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…).

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,
