I absolutely love this podcast! Since I can’t run with my friends anymore I’ve been binging episodes and even joined the Patreon. I’m constantly laughing and my runs fly by because of TCO. Highly recommend!!

Totally unsympathetic

I love Gillian and Patrick! Absolutely make me lol, which is great when I’m in a quiet place at work! 😂 I love the Lady Pates, and am a proud supporter!
My only complaint is I tried to join the Facebook group and keep getting denied. My FB page is only for groups I want to join, i don’t have a picture, and they won’t let me in.

I just started listening and I’m obsessed! I am a huge true crime fan and I really love the commentary of all my favorite documentaries. I also appreciate a little humor to keep myself from getting too bogged down. But I feel like it’s still respectful and insightful. I’ve seen almost all of these documentaries and listening to Jillian and Patrick gives me a whole new perspective on these stories. I recommend to anyone who loves true crime and has a sense of humor.

YES GIRLS!

Please stop cracking up laughing every 30seconds. I had to finally turn it off because I couldn’t listen to the constant laughing by Patrick. So annoying

Love it!

So I was listening to Crime Junkies one day when the ladies said to check y’all out. I’m so glad I did because I absolutely love your show! Even subscribed to Patreon since I blew through all your free podcasts lol. Now I’m almost done with the patreon episodes and hate that I’ll have to wait for more. And I love the jingle. I sing along every episode 😂 Thank you so much for putting a smile on my face and making me laugh throughout the work day. Keep up the good work ❤️ Also, you all do the best ads I’ve ever heard lol

I am absolutely obsessed with this podcast. Patrick and Gillian are so authentic, they say it the way it is and are so funny. I love how I get my true crime fix in such an upbeat way.
-Quick plug for the Crime junkie podcast who recommended TCO.. I don’t know if I would have found it otherwise. This is a 5 star podcast for sure!!

After hearing a snippet in a different podcast, I became interested in this podcast. After listening to one episode, Patrick’s laugh along with Gillian’s hilarious expressions of frustration won my heart. As the title says, I’ve listened to every episode and have caught up completely. (I have too much time on my hands lol) Thank you for the laughs and points of view that remind me that I’m not alone in this love of true crime documentaries!

GIRL, I’m obsessed.

I’ve never written a review before, but I felt compelled to do so for TCO. Honestly, I wasn’t really sure how to feel when I first started listening. There was humor and laughter that I wasn’t used to in a true crime podcasts, so I was unsure at first, but after binging a handful of episodes, I was sold. I thought the comedic moments were a bit insensitive in the beginning, but then I realized Gillian and Patrick were just saying what I already thought about the people involved. It’s been just under two weeks and I have torn through the whole series and $5 level of the Patreon. This has easily become my new obsession. ✨

I absolutely love them!! They are hilarious and always make me laugh!!! I love true crime but get creeped out easily. Not with this podcast. This is a perfect mix of humor and true crime! They also don’t get political, which makes me love them even more. They just talk about what they think of the documentary. I don’t always agree with what they think but I love hearing what they have to say.

Absolutely amazing!

Ok I will admit Patrick’s laugh drove me bananas at first BUT STICK WITH IT bc his laugh and sense of goofiness and humor is one of the best parts. Both Patrick and Gillian really do a great job of breaking down the cases in an interesting way. Gillian is hilarious in a super dry way which is perfection. Their Patreon is great also (I just wish that app wasn’t absolute crap). Anyway, this is one of my new fav podcasts (MFM is always dear to my heart too). Keep it up guys. 🙌😘 ally_trout

Finally a comedy pod that’s actually funny. They are so quick and fun. They’re chemistry is insane. I feel like I’m hanging out with my best friends. (Lol I know I’m a loser).
I binged their analysis of Serial on the Patreon and it got me through quarantine.
Ugh I love these two so much!

I’ve never left a review before but here I am because you guys are WONDERFUL!! I also signed up for Patreon because again, I 🔔 love 🔔 you 🔔 (<< that’s the only bell emoji but hero bell 🔔🔔🔔). My five-month-old daughter laughs when you guys do the intro and my 8yo son sings it under his breath. You guys are just crass enough that it’s hilarious but still okay for my kids to overhear. 😍

Quarantine Coronavirus April 2020: yay re: Tiger King! I love being a TCO Patron! Please do Cheer and How to Fix a Drug Scandal (super super important for our justice system)! Also love the Dixie Chicks’ cover of Goddess Stevie Nicks’ “Landslide!” Thank you two for being generally awesome and excellent human beings, and for saving my life (all of our lives) with your heartfelt, beautiful, and hilarious podcast. Every week I listen to my “best friends” honor victims and “garbage bell” the jerks who perpetrate the crimes.
Seriously, my life will NOT be complete w/out hearing the Gillian and Patrick analysis of Cheer, its culture, its coach who is a true Queen, its crimes against fashion and people, the weird similarities with the early 2000s Kirsten Dunst vehicle Bring it On (the choreographer dude?! Hello!), and above all the unexpected moments that truly broke my heart. I didn’t expect to care so much about this rag-tag group of crazy young athletes!! This is NOT about some pampered princesses — these guys and these girls come from some very tough backgrounds, and they work their arses off, truly, breaking wrists and ribs and ankles all.the.time.
I love Patrick and Gillian so much that I pretend they are my best friends. Yes it’s sad and pathetic — but that is how fantastic, smart, empathetic, generally charismatic, and courageous they are — they inspire me in every way, every time I listen! Their approach to true crime podcasting, which is becoming over-saturated quickly (true crime podcasting that is), is brilliantly unique. They focus on true crime documentaries, and they have plenty of brilliant observations about the crimes themselves, always show tremendous empathy for victims, and they do.not.have.time.for.ANYBODY’S sh*t. They also do a smashing job of evaluating how the documentaries tell the story of the crime(s) they present — each episode is filled with solid filmic analysis as well as fascinating analysis of the crimes featured in the documentaries.
So pleeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzy weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzy consider Cheer — I binged it, and I kept thinking about what Gillian and Patrick would say and if Gillian and Patrick would cry at the same moments — please! Love you two so much, and thank you for filling my life with such joy and — truly — such hope for humanity.

I love this podcast and it makes me laugh. Last week I noticed that it wasn’t showing up in my library so I searched for it and it said subscribe. I subscribed but I’ve been subscribed for the past year. This morning again I noticed it wasn’t in my library and I did a search again and it said subscribe again. Is there an issue?

The best ever!

I love true crime. But often times it feels (and understandably so) really heavy. This podcast gives me my true crime fix but also lifts my spirits. Patrick and Gillian are hysterical! I love it. And I keep finding myself calling people “Girl.” Lol
Listen to this! Love it!

Hilarious!

Edit: Gillian and Patrick are human, they have opinions and views. They are progressive so if you’re a butthurt conservative and can’t get over the fact that everyone is entitled to their opinion, don’t listen! Otherwise, they’re awesome! It’s unbelievable how much I relate to Gillian, and Patrick is just so lighthearted and goofy.
I don’t know how they do it, but somehow they stick to the facts in a case while also having fun. But they’re also respectful of the heavy topics so I highly recommend this if you’re into true crime, but felt a little heavy lately.

It has made my quarantine!

I love the show! Patrick and Jillian are hilarious. I just wish there weren’t SO many commercial breaks. I was a Patreon subscriber of the show for about 6 months but I just can’t afford it anymore since being laid off due to coronavirus. Please, maybe arrange the majority of the commercials in the beginning of the show?! It’s just so much!!

I loved this posdcast. I recommended it to so many people. Sure there were some side comments agains conservatives that I kindly ignored because I thought the content was worth it. Well in the latest podcast about the Dixie Chicks the two host made it exceedingly clear that anyone conservative or right leaning at all were not welcome. I just got tired of the bashing.

I finished binging a couple weeks ago and wasn’t sure what to do with my life....so (of course) the natural response was to start again and re-binge🤣
You guys are helping me get through this quarantine. It’s awesome how you are still recording even tho Patrick has fled 😂
If you can you should cover the Elizabeth Smart Documentary. I’m pretty sure you can just find it on YouTube.

I live for true crime books, docs, Oxygen and ID channels. After watching some of these stories, I need someone to scream with, “Did you just see all the same crazy that I did?!!” Gillian and Patrick are providing that service for me. I love it.

Not many of my friends watch (obsess over) true crime shows/documentaries, therefore I don’t get to gush for hours about them afterwards like I want to. I am so tickled I found this podcast because that hole in my heart has now been filled! After each episode I truly few as though I’ve gabbed on and on with my girlfriends about something I’d just seen. These two beautiful humans are so incredibly hilarious and have me laughing so hard while listening to their take on things. I highly recommend this podcast!
