Summary

This week, in Willard, Ohio, a deeply disturbed man moves back in with his mother, only to go deeper into strangeness, by not leaving the house for over nine months, not getting any psychiatric help, and heavily day drinking whiskey. One night, when his neighbor mows her lawn, after dark, he decides it's finally time to leave the house. This ends in a bloody confrontation, featuring unprovoked attack, and a lawnmower!!

WITH SPECIAL GUEST, WILL FORTE!!

Along the way, we find out that some people just get chased by dogs, that drinking huge amounts of whiskey doesn't help deep psychological problems, and that a lawnmower is a weapon that most people just don't think to use!

Watch Will Forte in the animated series, Haunted Hotel, on Netflix! Premieres September 19th!!

New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!

0:00.0	Hello, everybody and welcome back to Small Town Murder Express.
0:19.8	Yay! And Choochoo! Oh, yay indeed, Jimmy. Yay, indeed. My name is James Petrigal. I'm here with my co-host. I'm Jimmy Wiseman. Thank you, folks, so much for joining us today on another crazy edition of Small Town Murder Express. 10 pounds of murder in a two-pound bag. Here we go. All aboard the train here, pulling away from the station. Let's start out here. Before we get started, just, Mountedelia, definitely head over to shut up and give me murder.com. Get your tickets for live shows. Seattle at the Moore in October. Tickets left for that as well as the virtual live show. Oh, yeah. Thursday before Halloween.
0:55.0	We cannot wait for that.
0:56.3	It's just like a regular live show,
0:57.7	except we have costumes on like idiots,
0:59.9	and we'll make fools of ourselves
1:01.8	while telling you a funny story.
1:03.2	So that's how this goes here.
1:05.4	Now, normally we plug Patreon and all that,
1:07.3	but we have to introduce somebody.
1:09.3	Yeah.
1:09.7	This is our 632nd episode. We've done so many episodes.
1:14.8	And one thing if you'll notice that we've never had on this show is a guest. We've never once had a
1:21.1	guest on this show because frankly we were like, eh, no one's going to fit in, whatever. And then we
1:25.6	had this presented to us. We had the opportunity to
1:28.7	have a guest on the show that we couldn't turn down because he's just that good and that funny.
1:34.0	And we respect him too much. And we have to have him on here. Everybody, our special guest this
1:39.1	week, Will Forte. Will Forte. Hey. hello. I requested 632.
1:47.3	He almost got 631, but his people pushed for it, and we couldn't turn down.
1:51.0	He's been listening, and on number 19, he said, in 632, I'm in.
1:54.9	I'll come then.
1:56.3	Give me about eight years, and I'll should be ready for this stuff.
