And so the audience, the listeners are getting from Small Town Dicks. What actually happens out there. Not something that's been glamorized. But also you guys don't exploit the cases. You're empathetic to the victims. And this is what I'm all about. And I know that people who know me from

other projects, they will truly see that when they start listening to Small Town Dicks. That's an incredible endorsement. Dan and Dave tell the fine people about some Patreon.

Hi, I'm Yardley. This is Detective Dan. Hey there. And his identical twin brother, Detective Dave. Hello. And this is Small Town Dicks.

You'll hear detectives from small towns around the world discuss their most memorable cases. We cover the intimate details of what went wrong and what went right.

We use these dedicated men and women, search for justice and crack the case. Names and certain details have been changed to protect the privacy of the victims and their families.

So please join us in maintaining their anonymity out of respect for what they've been through. Thank you.

Today on Small Town Dicks we have the usual suspects. We have Detective Dave. Good afternoon, Yardley. Good afternoon, Dave. How are you? I'm doing well. You're great. And we have Detective Dan. Hello. Hello, Dan. Hi.
