The Pastor's Dark Secrets - Emporia, Kansas

Watched severance widow day working on Ted Lasso right now all three shows pretty good

Missouri Synod...the Catholics of the Lutherans

Plus, the actor who played Tom in the movie is named… Terry!!! I recognized the case early in the episode because I had seen “Murder Ordained” back in the day. It was really good! Kathy Bates was one of the reporters and Keith Carradine was the cop, Ruhl, who immediately thought Sandy’s death was a murder.

James needs to get checked for lung cancer.

James: try doing all the research to 4 podcasts by yourself! Cousin Ian: Am i a joke to you? 😂

Love this show. You guys keep bringing the laughter.

You can live only a few hours without your spleen. One of my friends has lupus and hers ruptured, she was flown to a trauma hospital where the surgeon and staff were waiting on the roof. She was awake the entire time! Now takes meds every day to make up for the spleen missing.

The moon is it's own light source... Moonlight light is colder than moon shade.... Try it.

"Murder utensils " 😆 🤣

Holy shit, I know this guy. In lansing/leavenworth kansas pretty much every job is prison related. My old job I would pick up a crew of inmates in the morning and have them mow and weedeat all day. My buddy was working at an embroidery shop outside the walls that had prison labor. Anyway I was meeting him for lunch and one of his guys was this dude. This guy was doing some inventory and looked a little off. I remember him telling me he was a pastor or something that killed his wife. I just texted him and he confirmed it was him. This dude had my leftover nuggets. Wtf

“Isn’t it enough for you to just reflect my glory. “ That explains a lot of masculine mentality today and yesterday, here and everywhere.

OMG I had to take consumer math as well in my senior year because I flunked, algebra and elementary algebra🤣🤣 my report card looked like this A A B A A F

A marriage counselor like the 80’s woman killer that what’s her face Olsen was in on the hbo show!

I watched the tv movie as a kid. After this episode, I want to watch it again. Keith Carradine was good as the trooper.

Weird this happened on the day I was born

Jimmy I got a BS in Radio/TV/Film and only needed 3 hours of math. I took Casumer Math and got a big fat C and haven't done math in 30 years! LOL

They call the rocky ford bride “bird bridge” now bc of this case!!

Is anyone else a little sad by the rumors that she now haunts the bridge?

By

Ugh. Another pastor who believes his own bs and knows he is infallible. He is exhausting!

Got my first shout out!!! Not disappointed lol.

This episode will not play for me on Patreon or Apple podcast?

my aunt and uncle are both math teachers and their oldest daughter got her bachelors in math. She then returned to the same university for grad school to get another degree in math. 🥴

Despite being a soccer player, I despise running, so I always tell people if they see me running, and I’m not on the soccer field, they better keep up because something is chasing me!! if I were ever to post on social media something about running 5 miles and feeling great my friends also know that that is a cry for help and they need to alert the authorities. 😂

At a "Discipline Now" weekend when I was in 6th grade our college youth leader balled his eyes out telling us how porn ruined his life. 😂

Speaking of Terry's, Terrence Knox plays Martin Anderson and Terry Kinney plays Tom Bird in the movie. I've seen it a couple of times and it's on YouTube.

You know Jimmie said he used to be good at math and I'm absolutely not surprised by that statement! I have been a listener since day 1 and there are so many times he counted things on top of his head super fast (especially like people's age or how long ago something was)! You haven't lost it , Jimmie, you just got distracted by a shit load of other stuff like you know kids and life ;) don't sell yourself short!

What’s better than a Small Town Murder episode about one arsehole? A Small Town Murder episode about two arseholes!

Yep My mother's 1970s/1980s hairdresser was an extremely straight Italian guy

The loss of newspaper investigative reporting is filled by James now. The details are why I'm here, the laughs keeps me coming back.

Ye l/u

WEEEEEE!! They said my name sounds fun! They aren’t wrong!

Lorna should've charged for her services-the family would've been rich in under a month!

My jaw dropped when I heard he was a marriage counselor after his sentence. 🤯

1:37:40 My mom is 5'1, I'm 5'9... When I tell you, I can't sit in my own car after she's done driving it. I got the wheel so far up my crotch it's a secondary birth control

I usually never listen allllll the way to the very end. SHAME ON ME!!! Jimmie reading the names…..holy shit. I HIGHLY recommend 👍🏻 Fucking hysterical. Truly.

My dad and brother are welders, I work at our fabrication company. I had my cosmetology license for a few years. Never have either of us decided to try out the other’s skills 😂😂

Crazy! And they didnt even end up together in the end.

I have to say the Babe Ruth thing was said by Pete Crow-Armstrong (Cubs centerfielder and probable NL MVP) in jest…or I sure hope it was lol

Victoria's Secret pocket square! I laughed so hard I scared the dog! Murder Ordained currently free on YouTube. Thank you Team STM for all you do. See you in Dallas!

My dad was one of the extras in the Murder Ordained TV movie (3rd base on the baseball team)! He and my mom were both college students at the time at ESU.

Were they purposely recommending Apple TV shows on Netflix 😂

Consumer math was the best.

My first comment was the similarities between the pastor and my father. Now as we get into Lorna.... Every time there's a pastor involved, it's almost always for the same reason.

The wood bridge brought back scary memories of the elevated subway platforms in Brooklyn when I was younger. You could see the street below through the gaps in the wood planks.

“Sweetly Slutty” 😅

Come back to NC!! 😊😊

Jimmie thinking farmers are part of the low income rate🤣🤣. Farmers have more money than all of us!

Disgusted to say that the Westboro Baptists are in Topeka 🤢

Former CC runner, it is a sickness and escapism

Can't wait for the Dallas show!!!!!!!

When Jimmie talked about his daughter driving, did anyone have the "omg she's old enough to drive already" reaction?😳🥺😆

so, I listen to the patreon names because Jimmie fucking up a name will never not be funny. The bit about the patron with the von Shitshmeer legacy and the park in their name, notable local family, etc reminded me of something: may I introduce you all to the very real Cum Park Plaza of Burlington, NC?

I’m a “Medical Technologist”!! 🔬 Today we’re known as “vampires” 🩸💉, or Lab Rats, 🥼 or often I hear “hey Lab Girl!” 🦸‍♀️ As a Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) aka Medical Laboratory Technologist, we are the behind the scenes healthcare heroes! We are first ones to know you have 🤍cancer, 🧫diseases, 🦠sickness, or 🧪abnormalities because we discovered and diagnosed it! 🩹 Then we tell your doctor (and they bring home the big paychecks. 🙄) We analyze patient samples like blood, urine, body fluids, tissue, and POOP!! There will be Poop! We use advanced laboratory instruments, analyzers, and microscopes to find to cause of all your ailments! Or hopefully a clean bill of health during your annual wellness exam! 📆.

It’s honestly the perfect career for those who love science, want to make a difference, and wanted to be a Nurse, but you don’t like people! 🤣 #womeninscience #justagirlandherdoggus.

Living in Kansas City I remember this. Like James said.. The Kansas City Star did a en-depth multiple articles on it. I just wish James would have talked about the Halfway to Everywhere music Fest and talked about bands there. My friends have played there in 2024 and 2025. 🤣 But.. no Ludicris..

What a story! Dirty deeds done dirt cheap! That bozo pastor is a joke…a marriage counselor! LMAO He killed the wife and his lover’s hubby…I hope the devil has a special room for him in hell.

I will have to relisten to this tomorrow, but eh, some however…falling asleep to STM has become a Wednesday gig…thanks James and Jimmie! 💜

Just…wow.

I’ve puked while driving and it was awful.

Like reliving my childhood with Lutheran pastor father.... He just didn't kill anyone... Yet

Gotta love a dirty pastor ep
