Homicidal Bloodthirsty Energizer Bunny - Cape Girardeau, Missouri

This guy was less than trash. Killed a boyfriend. Tried to kill a child. Kidnapped, broke face, raped, shot woman, shootout with cops, escaped prison, tried to kill two more people after breaking into home, etc and you are worried about a last meal and how HE was treated? You have to be out of your mind. Does it sound like he worried about anyone? The foul here is that we let him live so long and cost taxpayers countless amounts of money. Once positive you committed murder 1, death penalty should be fast tracked. No reason to let them live, have appeals, cost taxpayers more money and risk more harm to society. All happened right in this case. Recidivism by violent offenders is 65% within 5 years Case in point.

Juradough 😭😂

Omg the Captain Crunch joke 🤣🤣

I am never going to hear Bon Jovi the same again lol 😝

Jeer-a-doo🤣 Probably the worst pronunciation I've heard.

No mention of it being the birthplace of Rush Limbaugh? Not that that's something to be proud of.

Spongy Tumor Face could be a band name 😂

Oh NO Jimmie and James.....I thought I loved you guys, but you guys keep dissing Bon Jovi, and we night not be friends anymore LOL

I'm glad that Barry MCcockinner donated this week maybe next week Jimmie gets a Dickens Cider maybe Hugh G Rection will donate next week

Ok. Imma admit it. I saw Posse in Effect in Detroit a few months ago. It. Was. Fun! I also saw the original Beasties at Lollapalooza like 93-94? Im of the age where I may turn to dust at any given moment. Fun is fun y'all. Find it where you can

He made choices. Choices have consequences. Fuck him.

“Did he have a date!?” lol

If I ever won the lotto, I would be getting them here, in little old newfoundland, James and Jimmie, probably, don't even know about us . Hahaha

Bon Jovi, u don't like them ! Hahahah, they were the best back then! And skidrow as well! I still play their songs now! It's so funny, that u guys are only like 10 years younger, and have such , awful taste in music bahahahah

i

Jimmy the recruiters literally say you do well for everyone that took the ASVAB 🤣

I know Ed Callison! He's great

I do not recommend listening to the middle third of this episode while you jog alone in an isolated area. — an “I do things so you don’t have to” example, and you’re welcome. .

Have to prune rose bushes yearly and then they look beautiful all summer 🌹

As a native of the KC area, I have never been more offended by anything Jimmie has said than the 'sweet baby ray's' comment. That is an affront to KC BBQ.

Young Guns 1 or 2 never Had Dead or Alive in the soundtracks. Actually 🤢 Bon Jovi did the music score for Young Guns 2 witch included. 🤢Blaze of Glory

I cannot even handle James' understanding of human reproductive dynamics. So incorrect. I know James was just riffing, but women are NOT biologically compelled to be mothers. Some women are not meant to be mothers, and that's fine. Women are not more "biologically compelled" to stay and care for their with their kids than men are. That part is psychological conditioning done by our culture and society. It is fucked up to say "that's not normal" for a woman to abandon her kids. It's reality. It happens. That kind makes it normal. If it's not normal for a woman to abandon children she created, than it's also not normal for a man to leave children he created as well. The way James framed that shit is EXACTLY why there's a "male loneliness epidemic" right now. 🤣 If that's how you're thinking about human biology and reproduction, than you deserve to be forever alone! 🤣💅🏼🖕🏼

How can there be a sea of malcontent incels but this guys getting laid?

😀

Jimmies laugh, gets me every fuckin time 🤣🤣🤣💗

I grew up south of Cape Girardeau and let me tell you, when they said the population was only 39,000 I was SHOCKED. Lmao my hometown has roughly 10,000 and growing up I always thought Cape was like half the size of St. Louis!

Listen. I haven't had the time to keep up with sports, and I absolutely love Crime in Sports. Give it a go.

My Posse in Effect is actually a great show . it's impressive the energy level they carry through the show

The reason the cops were willing to shoot a ta car with a hostage in it is because cops are trained to always prioritize police lives over the lives of everyone else. This is why they don't go into mass shootings until they are sure the danger has passed like in Uvalde and Columbine

Cedric the Entertainer graduated from S.E. Missouri St. in this small town.

Rush Limbaugh always pronounced it Gerardo. He was from there, I was surprised the guys didn't mention it. Perhaps they did and I missed it.

Bon Jovi and Skid Row was my first concert. I was 13

My head is spinning from this episode!

You may not like his music, I don't, but Bon Jovi is a decent person who feeds homeless in a world of so many shitty people

Just say “Cape” Missouri.

Amazing episode, all of it, with a special shoutout to the ofc how much I laughed, but the legal part was FASCINATING!! I wanted to jump into the convo (Like a weirdo 😂) Very layered and made me think a lot. Also yes, crime in sports— you do not need to like sports. I don’t like any sport except baseball. In fact, I actively hate the NFL as an institution and find it and boxing boring AF, but that’s not what CIS is. Anyone hesitance should start with the episode on the skateboarder Gator, there’s an earlier one and then I think they did a re-do with more info. Listen in order, SO GOOD!!!

It actually is pronounced Gerardo

Yep, in 2011, Lawrence Russell Brewer ordered an extravagant last meal and then didn't eat it. State Senator John Whitmire (now mayor of Houston) was pissed off (a common occurence...) and contacted TDCJ exec commissioner and "suggested" to end all last meals and he agreed. So now death row inmates only get a regular chow line meal before their execution. Not very statesman-like to overreact to a petty action of a dead man walking. But no one does petty like Whitmire.

Spongy Blood Filled Tumors!! I’m a nurse and I love when you guys try to pronounce medical diagnosis. I would also call the Spongy Blood Filled Tumors 🩸

Love these guys and have listened for years. I find myself tuning out on some of their stories now which makes me sad. Too long too convoluted. Makes me sad to say it but been thinking it for awhile. Still love Opinions, and totally enjoy Prisoner Dating. I miss the old style small town. I hope i don’t get too destroyed for this opinion as I love J and J.🙁😊

The discussion of the death penalty was really fascinating. Cape Girard -O

I was in JROTC in highschool (2016-2020) and they had us take the ASVAB, I scored a 78. They never left me alone about it and even found me in Target once. I had a 4.5 GPA lol

The mom leaving thing—both my sisters did it. We have different dads, and I will NEVER understand how they both left their kids.

If I hear ‘spongy blood-filled tumors’ one more time… 🤣🤢

Oop hello. Weird that you guys are coming on a trip to Cape but welcome, I guess 😅

I can’t listen to this episode anymore. Am I trying to eat lunch and listen…yea. But this is gross.

Mmm

Ooooof! I heard clusters and tumors and jumped ahead 90 seconds. 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢

Would he have been allowed to sign a DNR?

This guy sounds like the Elephant Man, only that guy was born kinda normal and he was a good person.

Rule of thumb for French named places in MO...pronounce it how it looks and with an accent that says four like far.. It will never be the correct pronunciation. We have Bellfontaine in STL. We call it Bellfountain because we can.

I propose we change the title of this episode to "Little Miss Blood Filled Tumor tries to go down in a Blaze of Glory"

Ugh hurt my heart a little bit there with Bon Jovi dissing but also funny. It is true they were a girl thing. Was a teenager in the 80’s.

A crazy little wiry guy can do some damage

Not the Pernicious Knid!! 👹

I'm gonna say "vat of semen" is far more gross than "spongey blood filled tumors" 🤢 though both are quite disgusting

I’ve never liked Bon Jovi! Thank you for that validation 😂

Gerard Depardieu is exactly how I would refer to it. 😂

Also, yes, church is HUGE here. So many churches, and its the whole area. My town I live in now has under 4000 people and there are 9 churches in the town.

Not hating but cracking up at the attempts to pronounce. I only know because I am from southern Illinois. He did beautifully with Kaskaskia. 🙂

Hahaha, gerardooo Love it. Will pronounce it like this going forward.

With roses its all in the pruning, they won't mind PM ash at all 🤣

My daughter has that same medical condition!! Developed when she was about 4.

Old boy missed the obvious perfect Bon Jovi tune for his situation: You Give Love A Bad Name I mean, "Shot through the heart, and you're to blame...." It was right there....🤦

Bon jovi, my first concert in 84, they opened for Ratt Still love them

I've said this before but I'll say it again - watching James working his ARSE off to make Jimmie laugh, and the evil happiness he gets from doing it - makes Netflix worthwhile.

Damnnnnnnnnn guys!!! I just watched this on Netflix and I have been to several live shows and I have listened since 2020. Also have listened back to the beginning and have re-listened and I am at 2022 in the July range! I HONESTLY think this story tops them all!! I was so flabbergasted by all of it, (also laughed so hard as always when you guys put the laughter in there, thank God for the comic relief), this case was HEAVY!! Damn!! Y’all did an amazing job! This was heartbreaking, heart wrenching, CRAZY, SAD, and WTF!! That’s why my ass is still up after 2am and I have to work tomorrow lmao. It was mind boggling and the twists and turns, like holy shit! All shows are fantastic but this one, somehow was like, oh wait, whattttt??? The fuck? Lmao. Great job guys. Now I’m taking my ass to bed. Poor Stephanie and those kids though. Damn! I will definitely never forget this story! I’m glad the guy is dead in all honesty and I agree with you both on the death penalty and costs etc but if he was alive and I heard he escaped, I would be terrified. This whole story is absolutely bat shit crazy bonkers!!!!!! I will listen to it again tomorrow on Patreon

Those death row inmates, enjoying their last meals, really put the ‘Die’ in Diet Coke :) sorry, couldn’t resist

WAIT!!…I need follow-up on the two officials… The fucking Trustee who helped him escape …and the cop who conducted the “sweep” of Barb and Ed’s house, which could’ve easily ended in more murder!!

I’m from Saint Louis and pretty much everyone calls it “Cape Gerardo” 😂

OK HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GUYS GONNA SAY IT!!! Lol, I love you guys so much, but it was too many times hahah I’m nauseous. Not like I’m turning it off, but still!

About a month ago my blind friend asked me to just drive around while we listened to, no lie, the ‘Young Guns II’ soundtrack after we both shared stories about our moms making us listen to the entire thing on repeat for weeks when it first came out. Sure, Bon Jovi sucks, but damn is “Santa Fe” a tremendous song.

Ger-ra-doe Nobody in that joint cares about proper pronunciation… grandma is from there and I saw an elderly lady recently wearing a shirt that says “where dreams come true” with the town name and dang no that’s not my first thought when I think of Cape G

Bon Jovi is great! And yes, I graduated in '88. 😄

Crazy that yall finally did a case close to us! We do cases all around Southeast MO. Great job as always guys!

What did you say the name of the town is? Cape Gérard Depardieu?

My mother would have been one marveling. She still marvels that my 63 year old brother has always done his own laundry, cleans, etc and DOESN'T SHE KNOW HOW LUCKY SHE IS?!? Oops I digress

Can’t get it from Patreon or Apple Podcasts app.

Are you using a new software to upload? Second episode I’ve had difficulty playing

Ha, they fucking did it! Been listening for a long time, and they finally got to my hometown!

I have been very impatient waiting for this. I try to listen to other podcasts and just can't muster through it.

Grew up 20 minutes from here 🙃 yikes

Cape G is a decent little town. Unfortunately, that whole swath of Missouri is methy.

What a show title, James. Nice work

You were right the first time, James. It IS pronounced “Gerardo”. 😆

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Went to college here LMAO

YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!
