Stoveleg Media, Igniting Conversation.

Welcome to True Crime to Go. What can I get for you?

Yeah, I reckon I need a day to relax, so give me a lawnmower, but I'm short on cash.

I'll make it really cheap, dirt cheap.

Pull up to the second window, and we'll see you next crime.

Welcome to True Crime to Go.

I am John, here with Jamie.

Mowing grass is my favorite thing to do. It is. Do you always talk like that when you're on your mower? Yep. You went extra country. I wear my camo crocks and my guns out shirt. We had an episode of our Bless Their Hearts podcast yesterday where we took a How Country Are You quiz? And I mean, despite your wonderful accent, I think I won.

I really. is and I mean despite your wonderful accent I think I won I think by the end of it we were both
