I'm not usually phased by description of things but THIS is apparently my limit

Put that down, Alan! Don’t open that box, Alan!🤣
Jason Davidson
It’s like they were answering for him a lot

A box of box 😂

My gramma randomly mentioned to me that her stepmother was given "venison" to her from Ed Gein.

What’s up Turkeys?!?! Here I am, 06/03/2025, feening for some of the Fellas, and here I stumble Upon this gym (gem) of an episode that I somehow missed! Whoopi for Me!!!🫶🏾
Andrea Taylor
So I was pretty shocked through all of this episode, even though I've listened to it all be described before, but it was the nipple doorbell that was the definitive OH MY FUCKING HELL. I feel like maybe I'm a little desensitized? Maybe I listen to too many murder podcasts? 😫😫😫😫

There’s a few sk’s I actually believe have more victims and some have way way more. Gary Ridgeway Ed Kemper Keith Hunter Jesperson (Happy Face Killer) Tool Box Murders Richard Ramirez Sam Little Robert Pickton (WOW)

Y’all need to really do something about the Green River Killer. Gary Ridgeway. Likely one of the top; or close to the top body count for an American Serial Killer, excluding medical etc.

Ed Kemper in my mind was so much worse. He was into everything from killing co-Ed’s, dismembering his mother and then practicing necrophillia and other disgusting horrific acts. He was also likely the first to come up with the term ‘serial killer’. He was a hella smart genius who knew how to use the system to get away with anything he wanted to. But he also knew he couldn’t stop, so turned himself in. To me, he is farrrr more interesting than any Bundy, gein, dahmer, hillside stranglers, etc. He needs to be studied in depth.
Tracey
He used a gambrel to string her up. Just like a deer hunter uses. Incredible. Those poor police must have PTSD from the experience of finding such a horrific situation.

My friends and I were in Plainfield a few years ago and me being obsessed with true crime knew about Ed Gein. Since I was the driver, I drove us to the cemetery he is buried in. There are three identical stones for his mom, dad and brother, but rumor has it that his stone was stolen. There is a blank plot where his should be.

..” just threw up in my mouth a little “
Justin Govas
No shit my dads family was actually familiar with the guy. Its claimed they talked to him, but you can take a grain of salt from that
Ian Lynch
I personally can’t get enough of Ed Gein. I like the different perspectives and telling of the story.
Lori Coble
I've heard the story of Ed Gein so many times but you guys breaking down all the grossness was great!!
Stephanie Sage
Is this on a shirt yet?
Lisa Yuknavage
Great pairing The Story of Ed Gein and Chinese Food- see you in Wisconsin in September
Dave Anderson
I kinda wish that Ed had been around to be featured on "Hoarders". I think having Dr. Robin Zasio talk to Ed would be amazing. "So Ed, you have a whole box of vulvae... do you need all of them or can we let some of these go?"
Megan Crowley
Anyone else dying to know what podcasts they don’t think are funny?
Gavin Long
Coming from a Wisconsinite, I prefer bleu cheese on my nipples
Matt Studer
What. In. The. Actual. Fuck!
Malin Oskarsson
I found Small town murder when looking for podcasts covering less known cases! That's the reason I started listning. I've had enough of all the cookie cutter podcasts retelling the same story over and over again. The only way I'd listen to anything regarding Dahmer, Gacy or Bundy again is if there's an entirely new angle! So thanks guys for this podcast😘
Brad Hildebrand
Unbelievable!
Sheila Munroe
That was wild, guys!
Tim Olson
I think it's our long cold winters and cabin fever that makes us Wisconsinites crazy
debbie ralph
I read a book about this guy. Yikes.
Savage Randy
LETS STOP TALKING ABOUT THE NEW PATREON EPISODES ON THE WEEKLY SHOW AND RELEASE THEM!!! TY. 😘
allison middlemiss
so excited to hear about the psychology behind this
Cody German
Holy crap!! Been listening to STM and CIS for 3 years and I’ve been a Patreon subscriber for 2 years,,,,, listened to every episode,,, by far the most fucked up episode I’ve ever listened too!!Great work! You guys are righteous!!
Robert Clark - Bancroft
Lol I'm with u on that shit I'm a wisconsinite myself and I just commented on how Gein and Dahmer are horror stories they just tell us when we're young
Robert Clark - Bancroft
Dude as a wisconsinite we all hear these fucked up horror stories when we're young lol! Dahmer and gein lol why do u think we're the drunkest state!? Haha

Anyone else wish the Slayer song “Dead Skin Mask” would have been playing in the background?

Wow, this was a deep dive! Can't wait for the second episode!
Shawn Sampson
I kinda want you do a killers that been killed in jail and Why & If killers got praise 👏?
Jodi Smith
Thanks for covering unknown stories!! I love that about your podcasts 💕 keep em coming!! Even though it’s a known case…it was an awesome episode!!!
Aaron Salisbury
Can you guys do a show at my house on the 14th of August after 3 p.m. but before 9pm only if the weather is warm. But not to warm. I'd say in the 80 degree range........
Cassie Costello
O.m.g. Ed complaining about the low quality cheese tho like 💅
Cassie Costello
I think I've heard too much TrueCrime. Over here eating breakfast like
Jenna Lemke
As a true Wisconsinite, your version has been one of the best! Plainfield has never truly healed from it, even to this day.
Tarnya Manning
I love that you guys cover stories that haven’t been done to death. The ones you do that I have heard before, no one does them like you two!
steve browm
Helena is pronounced hellina. Not helina. James. U just need to click on those pronunciation icon. They’ll set u straight. Like u give 2 shits. Lazy bastards. JK. just started listening Man if’n I’m in a bad mood. I b laughing’. Tug closet. Almost pissed my pants. 5 stars gentleman. Molt Montana had murder over $35. 🙄😬
StevieSmiles
🫨🤯♥️
Adrienne
There’s gotta be more people out there like this, right,?? What a sicko
Fatimah k
Hey guys! Is anyone else unable to play the episode “never sing your confessions”?? I keep trying ever since it came out but I just get an error message. All other episodes play fine! I am also subscribed to wondery+ and neither version would work (the free one or the wondery+) 😢
Ginny
Can you guys do a live show in Saint Louis MO sometime??? I was hospitalized and this is what kept me sane I would like to get to a live show but all of them are to far (like Kansas City and Chicago)
Shaye Yuill
Loved this. Can you guys do a show on Derek Ernest Percy one day?
Vince
"Deviant" really is a great book. And free on Audible, I believe
Vince
In the box, Ed says it's GEEN
Brandy Martin
OMG how gross
Josh Bock
Not much to see. Just some trees and a field. Still kinda cool to check it out
Jeff Ignatowski
At the end of the year I head to Minneapolis and I'm going to stop by...
Daniel
Ed had a pocket pussy 🤣
Jackie Goetz
On a different note. Good job on this story. 30 years ago my husband and I were trying to put together a student film about him ( we have a lot of connections to this area) We tried to interview a few people about it and boy, did the news spread fast. To this day no one wants to talk about it and if you bring it up, you pretty much get run out of town. It’s weird and wild. Some towns would own this sort of thing and make it into some sort of money making venture, but not here. I still wonder what has happened to a lot that was sold before the place “ caught fire”😳
SCHLAPIA
I wonder if he had some teriyaki twat in that box🤔
Jackie Goetz
I knew people that were baby sat by ed. Well they weren’t babies, but younger pre teens. The one I knew said he was just a weird sweet guy with some great stories …. 😳😳😳
LeeAnne Stavrakas
🎶 he kept her face in a bag
Maguire Detlefsen
i listened to oj on way work today and now i’m goin listen to ed i’m 18 have no clue who this is excited
Maguire Detlefsen
okay who’s ed
Susan McFarland
I thought that too, but just finished OJ and that story is horrific on a whole different level.
Columbokane
Cannot wait to listen first thing in the AM! I thrive on James and Jimmi! Gets me through my day with laughs. I WISH they would have a show close enough to my hometown The beautiful PNW!!!
Sue Steible
I don't think that you're " fucking up " ( top of episode regarding your podcasts ) !! What you guys do is exactly what sets you apart, and I love all of your podcasts! 🤩
Jeremy James
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Eldergoth
My sons’ band when they were children was called Dead Bug, the name of I think their only song was Buckets of Buckets. Very chaotic, mostly because nobody could play their instruments, except maybe their very savvy friend on drums.
Grace Luterek
OMG, what a messed up story.
Tim Olson
Dance with the dead in my dreams Listen to their hallowed screams The dead have taken my soul Temptation lost all control
Michele S
I’m listening to James describe the body in the shed - that picture was in the Milwaukee Journal when Ed died. It was a black and white picture, not on the main page but part of the story a few pages in.
Don Nelson
Yeah, it is. 🤐
Don Nelson
Can you decide how you're going to pronounce his last name, James? I've always heard "Geen", but it's a German name, so would be pronounced "Gine", but never have I heard "Gayn". Make up yer fuckin mind, eh?
ScottieBizzle6789
More shocking than a box of pussies!! 😂😂😂
Paddy McCue
For the record, I fucking love Minor Threat and Operation Ivy. 😅
Lisa Hairston
WOW!
Taylor Van Epps
A nipple doorbell? I just grabbed myself thinking of the pain. How…frightening
Tony Legg
Crazy crazy episode
Jules Harris
He is like what if a killer had ADHD and couldn’t focus
Savannah Mick
Absolutely horrid episode. Fantastic job guys!!
Duct Taped Brain
When you revisit the subject. Are you going to focus on the suspicion of Ed possibly murdering his brother?
Si Fyi
Hey guys can you do Hunter S. Thompson...
Amber Wright
This man was a babysitter for a lot of families in this town.
Brenda
This was outstanding. Thanks guys
Gay Black Jewish N@zi for Christ in Canada
Listening to Jimmie exclaim throughout James's descriptions was the funniest shit I've heard in awhile. Just awesome. Good job!
Dianne Davis
Am I the only one that remembers the band “Ed Gein’s Car”?
Dawn Bouchard
I wish I hadn't been eating my chicken salad sandwich while listening.. lol
Justin Glover
I'm just glad I didn't listen to this one before going to bed because sweet holy christ what a fucking freak. I've been suffering with night terrors recently and this would have had me crying under the bed or keeping my wife up all night. This is one of your best, thank god I had Your Stupid Opinions to cleanse my soul afterwards.
Squirrel
You guys, 1st I fucking love everything you produce. 2ndly dear god this is really one of the craziest things I’ve heard for real. Thank you for all the weird crazy shit you make for us 👏👏🙌🤢🤮
Kyle Bearce
I'm sure he's desensitized because humanity is so fucked 🤣
Jennifer Byrd
I told my friend that this one was almost too much. Even though I’d heard almost all of the details they gave, it was bits here and there from various articles and books over a period of years . All of that at once in an hour and change definitely hits different.
Jane
This one I had to take breaks from and revisit, to listen to in pieces. Does your research ever cause you nightmares? Phew!
Tom Calandrella
Gein is the most Gothic of the serial killers.
Tom Calandrella
That's a helluva thing to do to your head
Gina Johnson
What is happening in Wisconsin. I remember my grandma telling me about Gein and didn’t believe her. Crazy episode.
Angelina Marconi
😜 it's the hairbrush for me.
Eldergoth
Hahaha
Liz Rutherford
Gein is horrifying, yet fascinating.
Scott Miller
Fuck you, I'm out
Ann-Marie Watson
Disturbing but yet I’m so fascinated.
Aussie Jen
I’m trying to find the episode when Jimmie’s says cardi b is a make a wish kid 😂 can anybody tell me what ep it is pretty please??
Stephen Watts
There is a really great book on the making of Psycho that the Anthony Hopkins film was based on, really terrifying how obsessed Hitchcock became with Gein's story sometimes overlooking the novel just to focus on Gein.
Rae Rae
Nothing is wrong with you, guys. You have morals! Few do these days. 🤦🏼♀️ We love the small town shit! 🤘🏼
Nikki Weed
Right? My mom lives in Adams/Friendship and I get the creepies whenever I see signs for that town.
Nicole
1:11:26 best James and Jimmie moment to date!
Tammy Hedrick
I was so excited for this episode, well done! My dad lives in Wisconsin Rapids, so I know this part of the state well. Ed Gein is such a fascinating character. All of this horror inside a small, unassuming man. I always thought Norman Bates as the best representation of Ed, the creepy factor, the taxidermy, the house! Looking forward to the rest of the story!
Elizabeth Freeman
Rotting vulva🤢🤢🤢
Acacia Hollifield
jesus fucking christ
Dr Phil Goode 👹🌲🔥
Pussy Jerky Lol. I remember tripping on acid and watching a show on Ed w my friends. When they talked about the box of vulva. I said whoa when he eats pushy, he really eats it. Harold Shecklter is an awesome author. It's crazy how many movies, books Ed has inspired w only 2 murders. There's 2 cannibal stories you guys covered that are so much more brutal. I think Ed's house really added to the grossness of the story
Stephanie Seviour
Not you guys making me like Ed Gein. hahahahaha Great episode! Thank you
Katie Jesse
Love finding things like this. Adding it to the list of things to see in Vegas! Alcatraz East in Pigeon Gorge has John Wayne Gacy's clown suit. The feeling while viewing it still sticks with me. I imagine it's similar.
Katie Jesse
Box of box 📦 ✨️
JuleeAnn Armstrong
I went to Zac Bagan's Haunted Museum out in Vegas a few years ago and in it, Mr. Ghost Bro Bagans has Ed Gein's cauldron. On top of it being a really uncomfortable artifact to view, Bagans had an exact replica of Ed Gein's barn built complete with the smell of musty hay and I don't even know what else. That replica barn was horrifying but the descriptions of Gein's house sound worse. Bagans should have had a replica of the bedroom built instead. That would have sent people running out of the exhibit.
Charles Jewell
No, a lot have never heard of Gein. Many do not know that Norman Bates was modeled after Gein. It’s not one of my favorite TCs out there but the lid has barely been lifted on this guy. I can’t wait for the next installment in two weeks.
Chris & Aurora
Was anyone else screaming "geen" when James said "gain"? Loved the episode
Holy crow you got a droopy butthole.
I love you guys so damn much. You tickle my dark morbid soul. Thanks a million
Jesse
Am I the only one that has no idea who Ed Gein is?
Matthew Eagle
I’ve been saying this since they started talking about this Patreon episode! I was hoping I wasn’t the only one lol
Andrew Betts
So we've always pronounced it as "Geen"
Cory Dyani
Still not worse than Hitler, right?
Mando Caljizzian
Ed Gein is the real life inspiration for much of our pop culture. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Norman Bates and Buffalo Bill (Silence of the Lambs). He is one of the most (un)well-known characters.
Eldergoth
How did he not just stink of death? Especially if he didn’t bathe.
Unkl Kenny
I've been to that site, the cemetery, and that town . On the anniversary of his birthday once. Got the heebiest of jeebies! Also one hell of a great story to tell around a campfire!
Stephen Tot
Another great episode guys 👍
Liz Harper
Wowza. Aren't we all encouraged to reduce, reuse and recycle these days? EWE.
Eldergoth
Thanks for being the Minor Threat of True Crime podcasts. You rock!!!
dhigueracooke
Being “punkrock” rocks that attitude is why i listen to u guys 🤘
Joe DeSalvo
disturbing as fuck
Justin Mackenzie
You guys need to do a bonus about Richard Byrd: the last Vegas strip strangler! Very few people know about him he was caught the day after 9/11 and flew way u see the radar because of that. He was one sick puppy 😉
Grumpy Aunt
It’s honestly about your takes, not the material. A lot of people make true crime podcasts but you two have genuine insight into trauma, human nature, and a gift for finding the humor in darkness of it all. Most podcasters are just not that good. You guys have a gift.
Cher Love Strong (#LocalWeedia)
You’re free and independent guys! Haha! I love the choices for stories and topics. Perfection; all 3 shows.
Tim Olson
As a lifelong Wisconsinite Ed Gein is a skidmark on our state's history. I've been to Plainfield many times and it's still a creepy ass town.
Alicia C
This is the first time I’ve ever heard the term “pussy jerky”.
Jordyn Fahey
Better start with this one and use OJ as a palate cleanser
Laura Chadwick
Used to live/work in Waushara County. They're still pretty prickly about Ed Gein
Pamela Greenlee
🤣😂 Plainfield Wi
Betsy Besaw
My comfort podcast duo, coming through when I need ya the most. Been listening to you guys all day. Excited to hear you two talk about nipple belts and mommy issues. lol
Farrah R
Love your idiot, punk rock asses!
Cassondra Schilling
Yaaaay! Perfect timing for my Sunday cleaning :)
