BONUS - SMALL TOWN MURDER - LORI VALLOW AND CHAD DAYBELL
Added 2024-08-04 00:27:01 +0000 UTCThis week, James and Jimmie discuss the "doomsday prophets" Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell.
Comments
The women who marry gay LDS dudes are referred to as "Beards". So its common enough for their wives to have a a label.

2025-09-05 17:33:47 +0000 UTCHey now, James! I agree that the Italians can handle the sun. My people came from the Azores and I spent my younger years looking bronze and smooth. One of my children looks totally white, blonde with blue eyes. He spent his summers in Hawaii for many years and still looks bronze. He is darker than his wife who came from Italy. BTW, I have to be careful around her because I have added some of your NY Italian words to my vocabulary. I am afraid of offending her. I love your stories about your Italian Grandmother.

2025-07-15 21:11:50 +0000 UTCHeard the Mike Simpson name drop at the end and I was like why does that name sound so familiar... and realized I saw him at a bar not too far from my place! He was great on set, loved him!

2025-02-13 01:54:29 +0000 UTCThis is a real thing https://youtu.be/uCAgiVuUfiY?si=avc1Wt4b3Y6Oc7bo. My husbands not gay on tlc about gay Mormon men
Emily Garcia
2025-02-10 18:18:13 +0000 UTCI live near where this all happened. My sister lives less than a mile from where they buried those kids. The story goes so deep and is so crazy that I don't think even a 10 part series could cover it all. The good thing- the house was taken by Chad's attorney for payment, then sold to a non profit. The house is gone and the property will become a park of sorts, with a special spot for Tylee and JJ.

2024-11-05 19:57:30 +0000 UTCDo James and Jimmie ever do a Patreon about the TLC Mormon pilot episode my husband is not gay? If not that would be hilarious 😂

2024-10-29 05:52:09 +0000 UTCFirst I would like to mention these guys are great. Second I went to school for criminal justice and if the police are shooting there going for the kill shot. The body cavity. What I was tought is that if they shoot that person doing there job they could be sued in civil court. That is what I was tought.

2024-09-25 13:07:01 +0000 UTCOne hundred percent 💯 if two out of four of your kids ARE NOT murderers...that's just not good enough Lmao. And this, this my daughter, Sundamage
Stormy Rae
2024-09-22 23:15:45 +0000 UTCMy husband had to actually talk me out of driving to Idaho and getting myself arrested so I could stomp Lori to death in prison. I'm against protective custody for people who hurt children, just let nature take it's course in prison Also, when you find your autistic son growling at you from on top of the fridge, the only correct response is to laugh hysterically, while helping him safely get down. I speak from actual lived experience.

2024-09-03 17:00:34 +0000 UTCIv'e sent you $5 here and there, but now it’s time to up the ante with $50! Why? Because I listen to your podcast every day—I've even hit the replay button twice! As a single, seasoned art teacher on a fixed income, $50 is practically my entire fortune (don’t tell my cat, he thinks I’m loaded!). Thanks for tickling my funny bone—now I'm just hoping you won't cash this check and leave me with an empty wallet! I'm an art teacher for the past 29 years and I'm spreading the word to my coworkers. I do have to say, I only talk about the boring history podcast to my students.

Joan Mollet
2024-08-21 21:30:10 +0000 UTCAdam Cox is the brother who was a comedian. Alex Cox is the killer brother. Charles didn't abuse Lori or her son it was Lori's prior husband who also sexually abused the son. Great episode as always but I think it's important to provide this correction

2024-08-20 00:16:42 +0000 UTCI love you guys so much ❤️ this was a killer patreon episode. You’re both in your element and playing bits off eachother with perfect callbacks, and that’s the chemistry we (your 3 pod+patreon for 4 years) hardcore fans love to see!!! 🤗

Abby
2024-08-17 04:51:40 +0000 UTCEh, yeah, I was Mormon until 8 years ago when I got divorced and left the church. My husband of 14 years, I think he’s gay. But….he married another woman, another Mormon. I guess I hope she’s happy with a husband who never wants to 👉👌
Abby
2024-08-17 04:50:42 +0000 UTCOkay, I’m LDS AND consider J&J to be my friends. NGL, I was a little worried when James was about to say something about Mormons. Most LDS guys looking “gay”? Ok…earned that one🤣
Julie Colt
2024-08-16 20:38:30 +0000 UTCOmg I would of loved James to do my wedding. I will get a divorce just to get remarried (to my husband) lol and have James do the wedding.

2024-08-13 20:42:21 +0000 UTCI concur with the deep dive patreon on this. I will now be looking for the Tim/Tom Haggard doc tonight 🙂
Amy White
2024-08-12 19:18:12 +0000 UTCIf you do look into these two more can you include Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt. What they did to those children is disturbing. And, her son escaping saved him and his sister's lives. These people are disgusting and prove how little important looks are to anything.

Joe Reaves
2024-08-11 18:40:43 +0000 UTCLove you guys, but you got some facts wrong. Tammy was not Chad's ex wife, they were still married when she was murdered, and there is no proof that Charles was abusive to Lori. I followed this case from the beginning.
Janine Maulbeck

2024-08-07 19:35:38 +0000 UTCThe first time I heard about Alex being a comedian in Phoenix, I was super curious whether James and Jimmie ever heard of/worked with him. I could not stop laughing once they got to that part, great job as always!

Ryan
2024-08-06 00:37:12 +0000 UTCI think it was Vinny Politan who compared Chad and Lori to the Pillsbury Doughboy scoring the head cheerleader. Loved that comparison although now I feel like it should be the Pillsbury Doughboy scores the future leather apron face 🤣
Mary (a Catholic in the South)
2024-08-05 23:38:55 +0000 UTCIt truly is a rage-inducing story. Timesuck did a full episode on it.

Jason Transou
2024-08-05 19:36:14 +0000 UTCNot wrong about Mormon dudes. My best friend and I grew up Mormon, and we had sooooo many jokes about Mormon dudes. They always love the butt play. 🤷🏼♀️
Jen Curtis
2024-08-05 19:21:14 +0000 UTCThis is a crazy story. I can't even imagine.

imaweirdy2
2024-08-05 18:13:20 +0000 UTCFor your stupid opinions you should do an episode every once in a while where you do a deep dive on specific people who have left loads of reviews, I'm sure that would bloom comedy like flowers in springtime.
Chase Robertson
2024-08-05 18:12:20 +0000 UTCTotally with you on the Mormon dude thing and if y’all are considering starting a cult, maybe we could get in on the ground floor? Just an idea 🤷♂️

Kim Ritter
2024-08-05 12:13:39 +0000 UTCI seriously laughed out loud when Jimmie said the words "Slapping her pussy on the carpet." 🤣🤣
Ben Bryant
2024-08-05 09:20:44 +0000 UTCThe pedo joke reminds me of when Bill Burr said "Wanna know what's funny about sexual assault?" His timing was absolutely FLAWLESS. He let that one line sink in before he continued the story. Fuckin HILARIOUS
Jesse
2024-08-05 07:27:22 +0000 UTCI have never even heard of this case. Which makes this the absolute strangest listen EVER 🤣

Sarah Zamenski
2024-08-05 02:08:02 +0000 UTCWhen Lori's mom talked about Summer, I immediately thought about that scene in A League of Their Own where Kit is mad at Dottie: "You ever hear Dad introduce us to people? "This is our daughter Dottie, and this is our other daughter, Dottie's sister." 🤣🤣🤣
Jesekah Gordnier

2024-08-04 20:27:02 +0000 UTCI wish there was a ‘slap Lori Vallow’ day! I would drive to her prison, sign in, go through the metal detectors, line up just to slap her! She put the C-U-N-T in cu^t and that’s an insult to cu^ts. Great Patreon this week.

Kathy Gonsor
2024-08-04 17:37:17 +0000 UTC“Made out of Sturgis titties” is the most evocative and apt description of Lori I have ever heard.
Jen B
2024-08-04 17:25:59 +0000 UTCI have a Patreon episode idea! You guys could do one about people who’ve been thrown off of planes/ out of airports. That would be hilarious 😂
Annie Altevers
2024-08-04 16:33:15 +0000 UTCI think the guys confused her ex husbands. Easy to do since Lori Vallow has had 5 husbands.
Erin Everett
2024-08-04 15:59:30 +0000 UTCChad's kids said the racoon was in another pet grave not the one where the kids were buried. So obviously Chad didn't do it.
Dr Phil Goode 👹🌲🔥
2024-08-04 15:29:54 +0000 UTCOmg, yes her mom looks like Lady Leatherface. White ppl, the sun hates yo, stay away. Have you seen Chad's kids, they look soooooo inbred, they were on Dateline defending their dad. I didn't watch the Netflix cuz I'm just tired of the story but you guys put a good new twist on it. Yes these religions leaders and FLDS men look so gay,lol.

2024-08-04 13:34:25 +0000 UTCIf you like crime, cringe, and comedy, check out “Reporting live from the sofa” on YouTube where he does a series reading the “One Foot in the Grave” book. It’s hilarious.
Allison Gregg, ACC
2024-08-04 12:58:42 +0000 UTCAlso, in an ironic parallel to what James said, I am openly gay and so for roughly seven years of my life, I was exactly what James described-a gay Mormon man
Al Mason
2024-08-04 12:45:53 +0000 UTCI moved to Rexburg in late August 2019. I lived just across the street from the apartment building where Chad and Lori were supposedly living. I was LDS/Mormon at the time, and Ron Ball, the lead detective on the case from the Rexburg Police, was the first counselor of my ward. Needless to say, especially when the whole Covid pandemic started a few months later, it was an exceedingly surreal 18 months of living in Rexburg. I did succeed in getting my college grades up enough to get into grad school six months later, I got some really beautiful scenery pictures, and I did meet some pretty nice people, but by the time I moved out, I was no longer LDS and I still shake my head about that 18 month period of my life… This was my second time being on the extreme periphery of an infamous true crime story. (I was very loosely associated with the Murray Vampyr clan of the mid 1990s, from which Rod Ferrell was kicked out of before he went to Florida and killed his ex girlfriend’s parents.) Even though I was only on the very fringe both times, I can only hope that this second time will be the final time…

2024-08-04 09:25:49 +0000 UTCOffended?

Esther Peerdeman
2024-08-04 07:55:30 +0000 UTCGod this was the funniest shit, you guys. Your content is always amazing, but this one knocked it out of the park for me. Bravo, my stomach actually hurts.
Marinda Jones
2024-08-04 07:00:11 +0000 UTCSometimes, they’ll talk about a topic that I thought I knew everything about, but then they still pull out new facts I didn’t even know I didn’t know. The research this team does is just impeccable.
