I’ve listened for a while now and can say undoubtedly that this is my all time favorite podcast out there. Each show is a guaranteed good laugh! Thank y’all for everything you do!!

BallinRidiculous · Sep 2026

I am always impressed by the amount of content James and Jimmie get about these cases. Delivery is great, and it truly gives a full picture of the stories. Weekly listen!

Rachelcdutterer · Sep 2026

Truly thorough job researching lesser-known cases with minimal but entertaining commentary!

RebWoll · Aug 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.

I LOVED this show for years. But recently it feels like they are running out of material. I saw them live two years ago and it was an amazing show. I saw them again just recently and it was really disappointing. The entire show was pulled from a CBS article with the same information and photos. And it wasn’t even funny. Most of the jokes were about the twin reviews. The murder itself, the murderer, the police, all the usual suspects, etc. were not amusing characters. And at the end, the show felt like it ended abruptly with no real satisfaction. This is the Brighton, NY axe murder for anyone wondering. Anyway, it just feels like they are forcing material if this was the best they could muster for a live show.
