This is was I turn on every time I get in my car! Whether I’m driving the grocery or on a 2 hour drive. Time flies on long drives and I’m entertained the whole time. These guys interact incredibly with each other! Craziness and laughter-what’s better?!?

l8kside · Oct 2026

I LOVE these guys humor together and his story telling. I’ve been listening for a few years now and would love to see them in person! Great podcast, I love the long episodes, also fun to throw in an Express! Thanks guys for being my go-to!

Emily.swfl · Oct 2026

My husband and I love listening to small town murder! We call it listening to “the guys” and they do a great job balancing the telling of these tragic stories with entertaining perspectives. Solid podcast 10/10

HeathhhaM · Oct 2026

The amount of research, time, and energy put into these is absolutely amazing. The comedic touch for it being a Murder podcast keeps it lighthearted and easy to enjoy while doing activities.

Tommy Pickel · Sep 2026

Longtime listener. I love the show and have never had an issue with the dark or vulgar humor. But lately, James comments about young girls who are assulted/raped/groomed have been hard to ignore. It’s not coming across as edgy or funny anymore. You can hear Jimmie trying to push back or defend them, and it gets shut down. James, he has a teenage daughter. Don’t be so obtuse. We hear it. It’s an issue. I really hope James becomes more aware of it. Jimmie, we hear you & agree with you!

Mrs_Lynott · Sep 2026

Listened to part of one episode and could go no further. It took about half the episode before they even got close to talking about the murder. They come across as two bad morning radio DJ bros… convinced they are so funny and cool that everyone just wants to hear them swear a lot and talk about nothing. I didn’t find them funny or cool. Bad, lazy storytelling with lots of stereotypes and tropes thrown in for good measure. There are so many better shows out there.
