The Brutally Batted Bartender - West Liberty, Iowa - Part 1

This week, in West Liberty, Iowa, we messed up! There was just too crazy of a story to fit into one episode. A young man, who is the small town's most popular & beloved bartender, is horribly beaten to death, in his own bed. The problem with solving this case, is that there are just too many suspects. The victim had at least 4 girlfriends, and a fiance. Plus, he's dabbles in some recreational drugs, and other extracurricular activities. Was it a angry girlfriend? One of their angrier husbands? The possibilities are nearly endless!!

Along the way, we find out that you might not want to call your buddy "Bacon", that being a small town bartender gives you all sorts of social advantages, and that it's incredible when someone that everyone seemed to like, still had so many people who may have killed him!!

New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!

Confederate Railroad is older, kind of outlaw country (think Johnny Cash) They had songs like Queen of Memphis...I cant think if more right now LOL, but they are good, just havent heard from them in a really long time. And yes, its Mark Chessnut...not butt Lol....good, older country, like 90s. I like all music so I could definitely listen to both of them...but we all know that James HATES country music lol What kind of music do you like James ?

I always find it so fascinating when people are so cool with being involved with people significantly younger, even beyond legality. I'm 36 and regrettably in love with a 32yo, and I still feel super weird about it. 😅 Though TBF I've been involved with a couple guys who were definitely significantly older than me. 😅💀

pacific with a small p just means peaceful.

Disappointed Jimmie didn’t know Confederate Railroad this week! Cause yall know he likes his women a little on the trashy side 👀

Why can't I get shut up and get me murder back episodes that I haven't heard before?

I’m going to need a Bacon Buddy tee so I can never forget the way I laughed at “ they don’t parade me out with the Bacon Buddies”

James will probably never see this but I learned a trick for pronouncing Indigenous Peoples' names correctly: call the tribal office after hours. The answering machine prompt will usually have the correct pronunciation 🤓

JIMMIE!!! We’re both Rednecks from Colorado, you know that Confederate Railroad sung “Baby likes to rock it like a boogie woogie choo choo train!”

That was The Tractors, but have you heard the Christmas version 🙌🏼 CLASSIC

My 4yo daughter named her first pup, Sally. She named her fave doll that too. And her stuffed lion. And our minivan.

Valarie Martin · September 18, 2026

Listening to the guys talk about their dogs makes me love them even more than I already do. How can you not love two guys who gush over their dogs?!

Sussudio · September 17, 2026

I was so proud of my kid when she picked Dolores for our dog. ☺️

I know several people in WL -- this case is talked about a lot!

Anthony Moniz · September 16, 2026

My grandma's name is Jacque (Jackie) and I use to answer the phone as a kid and they would always say it like a French man 😆

K
Kim Malone · September 16, 2026

I'm going to guess pacific or pasific was an attempt at saying it was a passive place to live, like calm and pleasant. Also, Jimmy, you call yourself a country fan and don't know confederate railroad lol, although technically they called themselves country rock

J
Josh · September 15, 2026

0% chance they’ve never heard Confederate Railroad, they did Trashy Women.

J
Jenna Augustine Atwater · September 15, 2026

I have been obsessed with this case for like a decade, and have watched the Dateline ep at least a dozen times!!! I'm so excited because you guys will do it better for sure. Dateline needs the victim to be a saint, and while you guys never make fun of the victim, you tell it straight, and my guy Corey was pulling some shit 😆

C
Christine Lebron · September 15, 2026

Representing the 734 for episode 734 bitches!!!!

Colin Burke · September 15, 2026

The first one meant pacifist the second meant specific. At least that’s my take on it

J
Jake Rhodes · September 15, 2026

I think they are going for Pacifist in the reviews. But I could be waaaaay off lol

P
Penny · September 15, 2026

The dog giving up the killer. That had me laughing out loud. My dogs would show where the treats are kept, and spill their guts.

Patreon Crime in Sports · September 15, 2026

I love it when you discuss your dogs! Please do more of that. You're hysterical w them!

Planet Tyler · September 14, 2026

Jimmie might be thinking of Vic Chestnut, who wouldn't be playing this fair for a variety of reasons including that he's dead

J
Jaclyn Wilson · September 14, 2026

My 9 year old named our cat Ander Dingus. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Jocelyn · September 14, 2026

I don't have a kid and I named my dog Grandma 😂 it's fun to tell Grandma stop barking! Grandma get your ass over here! Grandma don't piss on the floor!

Jocelyn · September 14, 2026

Omg I'm going to die with this Jimmy is a special Olympian discussion. Can I get some merch that says "Jimmy is my bacon buddy? "

G
Guilty Bystander · September 14, 2026

Pacific means peaceful. Same root as pacifist.

C
Chelsea Murder · September 13, 2026

Im dying 🤣 "they treat you like a special Olympian "

S
Suzanne Murphy · September 13, 2026

Just FYI, pacific means tending to make or preserve peace; conciliatory, Google attests

Jacque is also the first six letters of Jacqueline and was the official Midwest Gen X Hot Girl version of “Jackie” - I remember wishing that was my name instead of being one of three Rachels in my class

Aunt_Pizza · September 13, 2026

Let your kid name your dog?! I let my four year old name our cat, and his name is Pol Pot

I’m super ok with an express two parter!!

Manj Sangha · September 13, 2026

After listening to how Americans name their towns for almost ten years now, I’m surprised that Jimmies joke about California being named West New York didn’t actually happen!?

Amber Wright · September 13, 2026

I have a cat named Angry Bird because I let my four year old son name him.

No 454 in any 70's (or any year) Cadillac...70's big Caddy engines were 425, 472 and 500.

Morgan Mclain · September 13, 2026

Yaaaaay cliff hanger!!!

C
Cassandra Schrow · September 12, 2026

I'm dying over Jimmie being called a special Olympian 🤣🤣🤣💀⚰️🪦🪦🪦🪦. It's okay James, people who work in restaurants and say they aren't exposed to that are clearly oblivious to most things in life. Even high end restaurants they're at the *minimum* smashing alcohol and most likely snorting a line of coke in the bathroom

E
Eric · September 12, 2026

For a someone who claims to be a car guy Jimmie sure does get alot wrong. Cadillac never used the 454. 472, 500, all kinds of big motors but never a 454

J
Joseph Guerra · September 12, 2026

Haha great show. Glad you split it. The story is the important part..not the structure of the shows. I'd listen to 3 hours every day if it were possible for James to do that much... I love Jimmie and know he's not special needs, but he doesn't help his case when he forgets how old he was when his son was born

Kyle Statz · September 12, 2026

Where’s the frickin bonuses I need something to make me smile while I swear at my car

Pacific like "pacifism"? Maybe its boring and sleepy town

A
ALL Panic…NO Disco 🪩 · September 12, 2026

There is a special place in hell for ppl who f’ing CHAIN THEIR DOG UP OUTSIDE (or inside for that matter) - I hope this isn’t an unpopular opinion. ESPECIALLY a golden or generally any kind of lab. Talk about “pasific” dogs!!! 🐕

J
Jenna Augustine Atwater · September 15, 2026

With you 100 percent. If its an unpopular opinion, fuck being popular, I'd rather be a non-monster 😆

Jessica Schafer · September 12, 2026

My sister let her 4 yr old name their golden retriever..Watermelon. and honestly...it fits her. Melon is about 6 years old now..and she just ate a plate full of peanut butter cookies. One time she ate an entire roll of jalapeño cheddar summer sausage. Dammit MELON. 😂

Alexis Brooks · September 12, 2026

I dont mind the two parter, but I also said when I saw it exactly what James said, "y'all know you have a longer show right?"

J
Jacqui Babcock · September 12, 2026

Jacqui with a Q here, different from Jacque 🤣

S
Shivany Lane · September 12, 2026

Jacque is an odd feminization of Jacques which is French for John. I was named after my grandpa Jack, whose real name was Jacob. Parents, don't worry about using family names.

T
The Camo · September 12, 2026

"peaceful" "pacified" -? "Expansive"?

C
Catherine Venaglia · September 12, 2026

Both of the reviews also said “further more” so I was inclined to think it was the same person, bc what are the odds?? lol

L
Lori Olsen · September 12, 2026

Dutchess County carney folk absolutely need to step up their game. We were there and I needed that otter so we played the water gun game….turned away four times at first because less than half his stations work. Dude, you got literally nothing else than the traveling circus and ALL of the time in the world. Get your shit together. I got my otter. ❤️🤷‍♀️

Tessa Britt · September 12, 2026

My partner sometimes refers to people as Carny Hot. They're Carny folk, only dressed in their best bar attire. For context.. we live near Branson. 😂

Stacy · September 12, 2026

Pacifist and autocorrect?

Suzanne Murphy · September 13, 2026

tending to make or preserve peace; conciliatory. Like a pacifier, pacifist, pacifying, etc

Re: kids naming pets… as a 5 year old I named our calico cat “Iced Tea” because the orange patches looked like iced tea to me.
