  • Enjoying the show again

    I wrote the below review a few years ago and am happy to say I’m enjoying the show more again! I actually came here to say thank you for pronouncing Chile correctly!

    …………….

    I am a long-time fan of MFM, but lately it just hasn’t been the same. Go back to the original format! You chat for 10 minutes at the beginning and then both do a different murder. Over the past year it’s been mostly live show replays or just one story per episode and another 30+ minutes of chatting about random things. I use... more

I’ve started skipping... more

  • Encourage lawlessness

    I grew up on Long Island NY, you got a lot wrong. About the school administer thefts. Theft hurts everyone and isn’t okay no matter who the victim is. You sometimes send very dangerous messages. Use you power better.

    By the way- you two are rich now and you ‘ve worked hard for it. Should people that are less money should’ve steal from you?
