I love when they talk cars like they know what they're talking about. So many cars and engines are easy to distinguish. Crazy episode tho. The doc was alright but this was better. Good job!

2025-06-06 18:54:57 +0000 UTCExcellent episode! I watched it not long after it was posted to Netflix. I was absolutely SHOCKED by the treatment of the police! Listening to Denise describe what happened to her was unbelievable! Speaking of that word, have you guys thought about a Bonus on the Marie Adler case? I had that same experience in Houston. I never pressed charges because the police told me how I was going to ruin their lives because they thought I was lying. I was only 17 and was drunk. Typical for teens, but they ignored my (admittedly slurred) explanation on what happened. It was the 80's and police were different back then. Then The Accused came out and things changed. Either way, I have avoided drinking heavily ever since, so at least something good came out of it... I guess.

2025-05-07 13:27:50 +0000 UTCThis is the most Vallejo PD story I've ever heard.

Kris the Patrol Cop
2025-04-24 00:07:13 +0000 UTCMy husband’s ex-wife went to college with them and was in the same sorority. We have pictures of all of them together. So crazy!
Jessica Kamps
2025-04-19 20:54:26 +0000 UTCThanks for talking about this. I tried to watch the documentary when it came out and I got bored so never finished it 🤣
Martha Casantosan
2025-04-14 10:44:05 +0000 UTCNope, sorry guys, you must wash your hands after using the bathroom! I don’t care if you’re in the middle of a murder!

2025-04-13 01:37:30 +0000 UTCI used to coach my son's soccer team AND referee so I was at the fields ALL day during the season. Then I tore my ACL AND haven't refereed in 18 months.
Erika Fultz
2025-04-12 22:49:11 +0000 UTCI asked my husband (married 7 yrs, together 12 yrs) if he would call the cops or go have diarrhea first. He looked at me like I was crazy & replied "I'd call the cops WHILE having diarrhea." 🤣 true love
Madison Berretta
2025-04-12 19:44:01 +0000 UTCI had goosebumps through the entire thing … watching the doc now. Mr Rogers broke my heart. I would have lost my shit with the cops on so many levels but that would have been the last straw. I would have ended up on jail for throttling them.
Michelle Miller
2025-04-11 23:45:08 +0000 UTCI immediately thought of Luis CK and cackled when you said that shit about the Twain award Jimmi 😂

2025-04-11 19:50:22 +0000 UTCLost for words, I’ve listened to hundreds and hundreds of you guys an his is by far the most crazy story I’ve every heard !
Andrew Gilliam
2025-04-11 18:02:38 +0000 UTCI can definitely understand why they thought it sounded fake but also Vallejo PD is a joke so I’m not surprised they fucked it up
Elizabeth Fernandez
2025-04-09 00:08:48 +0000 UTCI’m grateful that Aaron and she were able to get that money for a lot of reasons, but also, so Aaron can replace all of his woodworking equipment. The dust settled, but Mr. Rogers is gone forever and if that was me, I would lose my fucking mind.!

2025-04-06 18:40:43 +0000 UTCVallejo is pronounced "Va-eh-hoe." I once worked with a redneck that made everyone pronounce his last name "Valley-joe."

2025-04-05 15:48:28 +0000 UTCLoved how this touched on so many classic STM tropes- and turned them on their heads. Really enjoyed it.

Taylor Washington
2025-04-04 19:42:01 +0000 UTCI did the same thing. I had to listen to them give their thoughts after I watched it. Was not disappointed.
Misty McLaughlin
2025-04-04 18:29:15 +0000 UTCThis documentary infuriated me. The guys described it perfectly

2025-04-04 00:59:58 +0000 UTCInsane story! Would love to hear your guys' commentary on the fox hollow murders doc on Hulu!
Sara Schacht
2025-04-03 01:54:07 +0000 UTCI would like to hear a top 10 list of James favorite documentaries. He has mentioned so many over the years and I'm just curious what the best ones are.
Kyle Krasowski
2025-04-02 21:58:56 +0000 UTCI was surprised to hear James say there was more than one person in the house. I though in the Netflix doc we ultimately learned he acted alone. This wasn't part of some larger scheme with a group of people.
Angelo Santora
2025-04-02 20:05:09 +0000 UTCI don’t know, guys, I really think this guy worked on his own. The whole focus, the main objective, was for him to be able to rape her, and scare her. Then he’s a “gentleman rapist“, that is no surprise, as that is also no gentleman. He just is cagey as fuck. I don’t see him working with other people. I think he could’ve pulled it off on his own. Which would explain how he fucked up and technically kidnapped the wrong woman. I don’t think that there’s a whole agency, that seems to be what people tell victims to make them more compliant.

Amy Brassard
2025-04-02 13:49:56 +0000 UTCI watched this on netflix and what a crazy story. I’m glad someone believed them
Amy Brassard
2025-04-02 11:40:42 +0000 UTCChrist you two weren't kidding about this one being twisted. Legitimately scary.
Kathrynn
2025-04-02 03:43:08 +0000 UTCI was just at an evidence training here in California. Missy came and spoke to us about this case. She’s a force to reckon with! She believes that others are involved too because too many victims swear there was more than one person. If she had not been so persistent Aaron and Denise could be in jail.
Kelley Marie
2025-04-02 00:27:08 +0000 UTCHi. Should I listen to this episode or watch the documentary first? Thanks.
Don
2025-04-01 22:16:29 +0000 UTCWell done guys! This was one of my faves from a storytelling point of view ☺️

Charles Young
2025-04-01 00:35:44 +0000 UTCCoerced "sex" while held against your will is first degree rape. I love you guys so much!! Filthy mouthed comedians, always looking out for women's rights. You are national treasures ❤️

Jenna Augustine Atwater
2025-03-31 23:01:11 +0000 UTCKudos to you, James, for getting through the audiobook; I only made it a few minutes into the second chapter because I couldn't get through the unnecessary flowery and overly dramatic language. The actual story is dramatic enough; "every millisecond my soul yearned for her" or some such nonsense - completely ridiculous.
Terri Hliwski
2025-03-31 23:01:01 +0000 UTCI think one of my ancestors was from Whorington! She got married to a Duke and became the Lady of Sluttingshire!

Marc Trudeau
2025-03-31 20:22:30 +0000 UTCI watched the documentary a while back and I was in shock the entire time. Listening to this I kept thinking about that Sherlock Holmes quote; “When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” Crazy how accurate that is with so many of the Small Town murder episodes.
Christopher Starks
2025-03-31 18:12:54 +0000 UTCOh no! Aaron? He ends up a cool guy. At the end! Did you listen? I haven’t finished yet.. but the actual story ends with him a cool guy. :-)
Cher Strong (#localweedia)
2025-03-31 16:49:46 +0000 UTC52:30 Describing Denise walking up to the house. I said -she fucking rocks! She’s took that like a warrior I could only hope to be. I think she was at the Florida Crime Con that I was at.. or the Nashville one. Missed seeing her. Wicked!

2025-03-30 05:56:31 +0000 UTCAm i crazy or did the ex's cop boyfriend maybe have something to do with it? I feel like that was touched on in the documentary but never resolved. Would love to know what everyone thinks. Thanks, James and Jimmie!
Jen Karr
