This week we check out the tiny town of Ovando, Montana, where one drifter came through and changed everything. Welcome to Small Town Murder.

Hello everybody. Welcome back to Small Town Murder. The music gets me jacked. It gets me pumped up. My name is James Petra Gallo. I'm here with my co-host Jimmy Listenen. And we're excited to be here this week.

Thank you guys so much for everything this week. Your iTunes reviews do not go unnoticed. Thank you. Thank you. We've really, really kind of blown up a little bit this week.

Pretty cool. We were just a quick thing. We were in the as of this morning. We were in the top 200 total of five two months in the US on iTunes, which is absolutely bonkers.

We are above shows that we thought were cool shows and we started. We still think of cool shows, but it's just thank you guys so much. Honestly, we're just we're not it's not a brag thing. We're just really want to thank you guys because we did it. You did it. We just we're just making the show. And if none of you cared, listen, reviewed any of that stuff.

We would just be doing this anyway for ourselves. Well, maybe maybe probably I probably just dead by now of a puddle of sadness.

Thank you guys. If you haven't done it yet, please, please get on iTunes and give us five stars. Doesn't matter what you say. We don't care. Say I like clouds when they're dark and gloomy. That would be nice. You can say that. We do too. That's fine.

It's been feeling a normal person. Absolutely, but it just helps us on the business and more than you could possibly possibly imagine. Hey, if you love us even more than that, and you really want to show how much you love us, you can get on patreon.com slash crime and sports. Yes, which is our account for a crowd or other podcast crime and sports, which you should be listening to. You don't have to like sports. It's mainly crime. It's that's like if you were listening to this show, and you went, I don't know, I don't like towns. You know, it doesn't matter. It's about the crime. So check it out. Do that. And you can get on there. You can to make a donation to us.

If not, no worry. Sit back. Do the iTunes review. Yes. Do the iTunes review. We'd sit back and enjoy the show. We have a doozy for you this week.

Terrific.

Recovering still for Matthew Cushion last week in his monster, his fiery monstrous flat affected ways. I noticed the week before, though, the guy, the psychopath that kidnapped the girl. Yes.

The two weeks before it's two part of the man, he had a stop number of 26, 26, and if you add those two girls, number ages together, you get 26, 26, yet he did not stop.

He didn't stop. No, he deserved. He deserved everything he got from the legal system. He did. He deserved more probably. Honestly, I think that's like, that's one of those.

Like we always say we're not big death penalty proponents, but if you're going to do it to anybody, I like that might be the guy. Just a hint.

Not not. You don't have to necessarily be a death penalty. Just zip a zip tie around his neck really tight.

Walk away. You did nothing. You did nothing. That's what he said. Yeah. That was nothing. You just you don't have to do anything.

This is exact words. You just tighten it up. And you go. And the next week we have a guy. How did we top that? How did we find a guy that's just as cold-hearted?

Well, maybe worse. Well, you find a guy who kills his entire family, including the dog. The dog.

And then burns the house. So yeah, we're building up. We have another guy this week. Guess what? Not a nice guy.

Hellbent on destruction. Are you shocked about that? Everybody. Everybody should be a little surprised.

You know what I mean? Just got to do the disclaimer as usual here. Just to let you guys know, we are this is a comedy podcast.
