  • RIGHT?!

    The crimes are interesting. The stories are pretty well told. Just cannot get over how many times these two fools say “Right?!” to each other. It is so annoying.

    Love the show - but the commercials and some of the audio clips are really loud. I listen in the car so it’s hard for me to hear you so I have to turn it up but the a commercial comes on and it scares the bejesus out of me. Also, Cooper, girl, PLEASE stop saying “right?” every time you talk. Please.

  • Ping pong

    I can’t even listen to the whole episode because there is some kind of noise in the background that sounds like someone is playing ping pong and it’s very distracting especially because the host voices are so soft
