What is going on to crime fans? I'm your host Heath and I'm your other host Daphne and you're listening to Going West.

It is our one year pot of her story today. We started our podcast on December 31st, 2018. So we thought we'd do a fun Q&A episode instead of a normal episode to send off the decade in our first year as podcasters.

But before we get into today's episode, we have to give thanks to people who left us five star views on Apple Podcasts. So thank you so much to Natalie from Lexington, Kentucky and Lizzie from Phoenix, Arizona.

Thank you, Rafael from Los Angeles and Patty also from Los Angeles. In a big thanks to Gabby from Kent, Washington, Fabie from Waxahatchee, Texas and Ali from Canada.

And thank you so much to our new patrons, Jane, Sandy and Heath's amazing mom Beatrice. She was so excited to become a patron. She literally sent me a text message of a picture of her waving and smiling.

It was really cute. If you guys want to join our Patreon and get access to bonus episodes, head on over to patreon.com slash going west podcast. We just released a brand new bonus episode on the jinx, Robert Durst.

Alright guys, well you know what it is. Let's get into today's episode. This is episode 51 of going west. Let's get into it.

First of all, thank you guys so much for submitting your questions over social media. Our first question we got asked by a lot of people. It's how did you guys meet and how long have you known each other?

Well, I guess I'll start off. Definitely and I actually met on Tinder. We did. We did. We actually have only known each other since we met on Tinder, which was about two years ago.

Yeah, we met in February of 2018. We went to a bar. It was very interesting date. And I was actually visiting Oregon because my dad lives there. That's where he is from. And we met at a bar and we hit it off.

Honestly, I'm actually scared for Daphne because literally she had never met me before, but she came to my house on the first night. Like are you trying to get murdered?

I was nervous. We were going to meet at a bar in this town that I had only been to once. I had just gotten into town a few days earlier from England. And I was visiting my dad and I just wanted to meet new people while I was there.

And we went to a bar and well, yeah, we went to Heath's apartment first because I was like, I don't know where we're going to go. I felt awkward meeting him somewhere in person, which do not take that tip. Do not go to someone's house when you meet them for the first time. It's very dangerous. But I told all my friends where I was going all my friends have my tracker on find my friends.

So I wasn't that scared because I was like, this is where I'm going. This is address. This is what he looks like. But yeah, Heath's Tinder profile said something about how he loved horror movies in Halloween. And so obviously had to meet him.

And honestly still scary.

Whatever it worked out. He didn't kill me.

So the next question that we got was from Paris and Christina. They asked, what has been your favorite case that you guys have covered?

Honestly, my favorite is probably the first one that we ever covered, which was Brandon Swanson. I really want to redo that episode in the future because I really listened to it a few weeks ago.
