    What is with the baby crying in the background of the dingo episode? I can’t finish listening to it because it is so distracting.

  • Great and REAL podcast

    Found out about this podcast because Mike went on the Quite Frankly podcast. He has real life experience being in law enforcement. He’s authentic and easy to listen to. There isn’t bias; you can take from what he says and shares (clip-wise) and make your own conclusions.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Profiling Evil in the Field, Desert Murders
Q: Mike, something that I've always wondered about regarding the shooting death of Charles Vallow. Why wasn't Alex Cox immediately arrested?
Alex's own account raises red flags about his self-defense claim. While he did disengage from the threat, retrieving a firearm and returning to confront Charles complicates the narrative, potentially indicating premeditation.

Q: What concerns did you have just right away in the investigation?
