Ladies, unless the other woman is a close friend or family member who has betrayed u, u shouldn’t confront the other woman! Confront ur man! The other woman is probably a victim of his bs too!

The best dating advice I can ever pass on is "you'll lose them the same way you got them". Aka if you're messing with someone in a relationship then you'll also be cheated on. You're not special and you won't change a cheater. Cheaters always cheat and you never win messing with them

[sarkiabdullahi]

So she cheated on her husband for years and even left him, but she was cheated on and decided to end someone’s life, Karma hit her real hard

I eat, breath, and essentially live in true crime and you guys are by far one of the better story tellers! I freaking love tis podcast, very happy I found it

[Psst.Haylie.Said.]

Garrett is hilarious... He's such a vibe. I'd love a video with all the different faces he does 🤣 I don't know what I'd do without your channel.

Have y'all done a 10 Seconds about how you met? I've listened to enough episodes that I've gathered that it was in college, but I'd love to hear the full story!

As a true crime junkie, I can’t believe I just recently found you guys! I’ve spent the last week binging your episodes, and I’ve learned about so many cases I hadn’t heard before. Ya’ll are adorable, and I’m so touched by the raw emotion Payton displays in so many of the harder cases. Thank you for telling these victim’s stories and for quickly becoming one of my favorite new obsessions! ❤️

[valeriec]

Hey guys! I’m actually a listener from Mile Higher and knew about you guys through them! I just wanted to say that you guys do such great work and your story telling style is pretty neat!

What a crazy case! So glad Lisa didn’t kill her ( I really thought the story was going there).

I’ve had men leave me and cheat on me, but NEVER have I ever felt they worth jail time.

[alexisjahnael]

This case was crazy. "At least she wore diapers" was the catchphrase of this episode hahaha. She did all of that just to have no job, no man, and becoming a meme. The lesson is to never throw your life away for a man.

[ashleyllanes]

The close up on Garrett's face when she said Payton said "she wasn't going to kill her" lol

[taylorrodriguez]

When you said getting freaky with it I was dying😂 You guys have me cracking up at work!

[chelseaalynne]

I have been binge watching and listening to all of your podcasts. I love them.

[badgalmonte]

omg i really enjoy these stories that aren’t fully murder but still scary!! I was so tuned in

[SesshyLover]

My brothers' dad (they have a different dad than me) cheated on my mom and then married his mistress as soon as the ink on the divorce was dry. A few years ago they got divorced and cited his repeated infidelity. Mom and I LAUGHED OUR ASSES OFF man. She really did think she was different 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 to those out there cheating with a married person, regardless of gender, YOU WILL LIKELY ALSO GET CHEATED ON!!

[billydiangelo]

Keep these going please! Me and my wife sit back and have our wine listening to your shoes every week 🙏🏽 we love it!

[kiayapatton]

Loved the side glance when he started talking about his love for cars I totally feels that with my hubby and baseball 😂love your show def my #1 favorite can’t wait for the next episode

[ExiledSwede]

Hey guys
I'm moving from Sweden to Canada in just five days time and your podcast has really kept me going through the intensity of packing for moving across the literal atlantic. I'm just about to download a few episode to keep me going through my 8 hour flight and I just wanted to say thank you for doing such a great job with these cases and you seem like genuinely nice people!

[autumnrose]

Just the thing I needed to listen to while folding laundry. You have the best timing! 💗

[lastnamefirst]

Great show. I think what I love most about these kind of stories is because a lot of the main characters are highly respectable people that you would never think they have a second life that's so bizarre.
