Welcome to Small Town Murder.

Hello everybody and welcome back to Small Town Murder.

Yay!

You got that right Jimmy. My name is James Petrogallo. I'm here with my co-host.

I'm Jimmy Wiseman. Thank you folks so much for joining us today. Welcome back.

The yay is a bull's eye right on target. As always we're excited. We're so excited. This is the first time we've ever seen a bull's eye.

This is a crazy case this week. I promise no dead babies. This one has no dead babies and nobody will be raped.

So we can, that's you guys can rest see. I'm not going to tell you what happens but you can rest assured that that's not going to happen. No dogs die either.

So everybody's sensitive. Everybody's trigger things and make them upset. None of it's happening. So that's a good thing. That's a good thing here.

Thank you guys again for joining us. Thank you most of all for your everything this week. Your iTunes reviews number one were enormous.

Welcome all the new listeners. We got a ton of new listeners this week. You guys with your iTunes reviews and your general love and your listening drove us all the way up to number 103 in the charts.

Overall overall. The United States, which is pretty pretty awesome. That was great. And we can't thank you guys enough for that because nobody else is really helping out except for you guys and Dan Cummins of time.

So nice ad for us as well. He's a great man and you should listen to the time suck podcast because if you like this, you'll probably like that.

And then if you like all of us come to the and you're in the LA area. Come to the Hollywood improv October 7th. James and I are going to be on a show with Dan Cummins.

Yes, the service eight o'clock show. Come see us. I'll see us. That's going to be Hollywood improv definitely be there. Talk to us. We'll come say hello to you. That would be great.

If you have not done it yet, please get on iTunes. You can just give us five stars. That's just just go ahead and do that. Yeah. Like you can just give us five stars. We'll take it. We'll take it.

Doesn't matter. You can tell us anything you want anything. Tell us what your favorite cloud formation is and we'll be like, yeah, that's great. Fantastic. But the five stars is what helps us out on the business and keeps us going up the charts and maybe makes it so someone will notice us at some point in time.

It'd be fun. It'd be fun. So we really, really appreciate that. Also special. Thank you to all of the PayPal and all the Patreon donations this week. Again, you guys keep this going. I'm going to get into it a little later in the show very briefly.

But on the business end, this is difficult. And this is what you guys are what keeps us going. It certainly is not the sponsors as we get into here. Not that that's a fault of our sponsors or anything like that. But it's a it's a long sorted tale that we'll get into a little later. But thank you guys for everything.
