    Great podcast but…
    Love you guys just wish Zaron wouldn’t chime in as much when Elizabeth is telling her story it interrupts the flow it gets a little frustrating other then that you guys are great. Love your stories.

    Star lite
    Hearing about the starlight drive-in theater in Atlanta brought a lot of memories back since I would go there from 68 through 74. Sneaking in, best movie first then not as good, then the first one shown again! Usually got out of there by 2 AM . High school, third base, my tongue hurts , lessons from Susan ending in slap in the face. Literally! I’m sure the same thing happens today just at a different location like in front of a 90 inch TV, while the parents are upstars watching on their 95 inch TV somewhere else in the house.

    Too obnoxious for me
    I like that they find great true stories to tell and the stories are ridiculous. I was forwarding through the first 8 mins of each episode cuz they are mostly chatting and goofing around but I’ve come to realize the chatting and goofing around is actually not just the first few minutes, it’s throughout. And for that reason, I’m out.

    One of our favorite podcasts

  • The Real Cisco Kid
    Would be better if they weren’t so stoned
    Interesting stories, but they need to cut way down on their weed and caffeine consumption before the show. Senseless laughter and Zaron seems to have a pathological averse to silence since he is constantly interrupting

    Can listen at work
    This is the most entertaining podcast I’ve ever listened to. The two hosts are great and I relate to them so well. Every episode is like chilling with friends with the caveat that I don’t have to actually chill with friends. Perfection.

    Please stop Zaron
    Zaron, please stop interrupting!! It’s so annoying and really agitating. Also, the fake laugh 🤢
  • MylissaR
    Let her talk!
    I listened to the episode about cruise ships. It was great if I could have just please, for the love of God, heard her get through one sentence without being constantly interrupted by Zaron? who seems to love turning it all to the topic of Zaron. Very annoying.

    The best of the best!
    Honestly, literally, seriously… It’s the best!!!! I love it soooo much.

    My Favorite Podcast
    Ridiculous Crime is my very favorite podcast. I enjoy the hosts’ self-deprecating humor, and their great perspectives on truly ridiculous criminal undertakings. I’ve recommended this podcast to all my friends and family.

    This podcast is supreme
    Elizabeth Dutton loves board games. She loves people who love board games. She loves people who make jokes about people who loves board games, as do I. She loves nerds. She loves weird drinks that shouldn’t be edible, but somehow are. She is the ultimate goddess of wicked smarts and jokes and anyone who says anything differently shall be put into the corner and jested at for taking anything in life too seriously (like writing an entire review because you can’t handle a joke). Zaron is aight too.

    This is Truly Ridiculous
    The hosts have such good banter and the crimes they go over are so crazy it’s hard to believe it actually happened. It shows how gullible people really are. They upload pictures and evidence on their instagram so you can see it’s not just made up. It’s always good for a laugh and a great way to learn from other people’s mistakes.

    Clean Podcast
    I’ll second the previous comment on your clean podcast. I’ve deleted so many podcasts with interesting subjects, but are laced with gratuitous vulgar language, or constant remarks about a political person or party.
  • J Dilg
    This crime show is not gonna stress you out
    Amber and Lacey Lacey and Amber sent me here, and I’m glad they did

  • Abigail 😃
    amazing
    This deserves 6 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I listen to this all of the time!😊
  • africa_3
    Great show
    I’ve listened to other quirky shows like this and some are disappointing because the hosts don’t seem to know the subject matter. these hosts don’t pretend to know everything but definitely do their research which makes for a fun informative listen. This show is ridiculous in a good way.
  • Pengi blue
    Great job team
    This is my favorite podcast :) great story telling and crimes
  • 😁 in Tennessee

    My utmost favorite podcast
    My ultimate favorite podcast. Love the host. They are hilarious. Love the content. Love it all. I’ve re-listened multiple times. If you want joy and greatness in your life - listen to this podcast. I also like that it doesn’t have swearing. I don’t mind swearing myself, but I know it can ruin it for others. I love that I can recommend this to anyone. P.S. I love the banter.

    Re listening ♾️
    I have listened to each episode at least 5 times it’s so good and it never gets old. Keep it up!
  • Assteroth00338
    A must for those days when nothing can get you going
    Having a bad day ? Just click on the latest episode and enjoy. A cup of coffee, headphones and a quiet place and you’ll be set. Warning though if you’re going to listen to the show in the crowded coffee shop warn folks you’re not crazy cause all the laughs may have you looking a bit off ….. oh and no double shots cause it makes your laughter more intense

    LOVE the stories! If only the hosts would read from a script.
    There are few topics I enjoy more than true stories about art fogers. But the way that these 2 hosts deliver the information gives me a headache. And it's a shame, because their content is excellent. Imagine a brother and sister in high school who have to give a report in class the next day and they've done a little research on Google and then got together to practice. All the bickering, all the attempts at humor, and the inability to let each other complete a thought without interrupting. It's all there. That is what this show sounds like. it makes me angry because they have the ability to do a great show, they're just too lazy to put in the work.

    Too many ads, too many host comments
    EDIT: I’m not sure when exactly this started but Zarin needs to slow down. He all of a sudden starts talking really fast like he’s had too much caffeine. I know he’s trying to get all of his words in but seriously either slow down or say less. EDIT 2: I haven’t finished Coke Boat but shaming the women who were both essentially victims of trafficking is not a good look at all. And, since you have a show that you are trying to get good reviews and shares for and also an instagram and Twitter. “We have commercial breaks in our show but I just don’t understand how influencers make money.” Seriously these people are dumb. And how do 2 people that went to catholic school not know that Lucifer is referred to as the Morning Light??? They are so busy trying to add their commentary to everything that they don’t always tell a cohesive story. On top of that 10+ minutes of ads for 45 minutes of show is just ridiculous.
  • Bkysar
    Love this show!
    Ridiculously good! Love Zarin and Elizabeth!
  • AllTheGoodNamesAreTaken:/
    Fun and Chill
    True crime that is mostly murder free and focuses more on the weird and heist adjacent crimes. Hosts are great and have excellent chemistry, and are very funny!
  • Molly's Tile Co.
    All episodes listened to. All loved!
    The best. I’ve not found a better pod cast. I drive hours every day and they keep me laughing. Elizabeth’s mammie Eisenhower imitation made me laugh so loud!!! Both host rock!!
  • nordseg
    Good chemistry
    I love love love this podcast
  • KingDiamondRules
    Was great
    Was great, now not so much
  • sophie(/a)
    Ridiculously good!
    Such a comforting show! The stories are great, the humor is infectious, and the hosts play off each other so well. Great show for long commutes!
  • Debobrinck
    Always entertaining
    It is the relationship and back and forth of Zaron and Elizabeth that make this show so much fun. I have listened to every episode and always look forward to the next one!
  • dinosaurdoors
    I love these guys
    Not this latest episode coming out right after a certain war criminal’s ticket gets punched. Absolutely iconic
  • Alegría/Joy
    Love it, but the language…
    I love listening to this podcast! Great content, awesomely ridiculous stories, but one issue. I wish you guys would bleep out all cuss words, even d--- and h---. I can’t listen to it when I’m around younger members of my family and I would love to share it with them. I like to be present with my family members and not have to wear earbuds, but that’s not possible with this podcast because of the language. Again, great podcast, but I wish y’all would fix that!
  • Sleepy Conscience
    Such great chemistry between the hosts
    These two make me laugh like no other I heart show. It’s everything I love about true crime and comedy pods and nothing else. It’s everything that’s great about The Dollop formula and nothing else.
  • EvilBerthasKid
    True crime with hilarity.
    I love this podcast. The hosts are great. The stories are clearly well researched. Being a boomer, I actually remember some of the crimes. It’s always a good laugh and a peek into stupid criminals.
  • Gram-Lin
    Fun and informative!
    Very intelligent and entertaining. Lots of research goes into these episodes and the hosts have a sense of humor that’s clean and yet silly. Love this!!!
  • AustinVanessa
    My favs!
    Love love love this podcast!!! Love Elizabeth and Zaryn’s chemistry and how funny they are together. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is at times Zaryn talks waaaaay too fast and interrupts E a lot…small, but starting to get to me lol. Love the show otherwise!
  • cassieinsc
    Talking over each other
    The hosts are too busy talking over each others just to insert their delayed and lame “jokes”/ meaningless remarks on something from 20 seconds ago… and just unable to tell a story in a coherent way. It’s very confusing what they are trying to do on this show… sound like two drunk persons who barely know each other being told to sit together and make noises. You can clearly tell they aren’t very gifted, knowledgeable or intelligent, perhaps they are but for some reason are just always intoxicated when recording.
  • 🌻🇨🇺
    This is my favorite podcast, I love the theme song, their voices, the stories, everything! Since I discovered this podcast it’s the only thing I listen to while I’m working. I miss the nicotine patch lady tho, I used to lip sync her add and now she is gone. Please keep doing this awesome show! Greetings from Cuba 🤍🤍🤍 Ps. For those who don’t like the show, Is everything ok at home?
  • #JuneLaRue
    Bring the gabbing down 50%
    I can’t stand it. Stop. Please. this is way beyond friendly banter…there’s barely a story. I love, smart, funny people, but this is just too too much. I have tried three times, and each time the story is a great story, but it gets ruined among the frivolous and unnecessary talking by the both of them. I started at the beginning when they first came out and was excited but just have to warn folks— they think SO very highly of themselves. Elizabeth can’t even do an English accent, I mean please. Literally. Not entertaining with very entertaining material.
  • srester
    One of the best shows out there
    Few podcasts make me crack up but Ridiculous Crime gets me every episode. The hosts have great chemistry and a great rapport. It makes my morning when I open my podcast app and see a new episode.
  • Linknj
    99.5% Better then all podcasts.
    Good smart humans. Would you two run for President? Thanks
  • AngelaFromCA
    Best podcast
    These two have the best chemistry and are so funny and funny and quick witted. Love to listen every week!
  • DomesticFailure
    Thanks for Asking
    This is, hands down, my favorite podcast. I wish there were daily episodes. I cannot get enough of these guys. Their chemistry is amazing-Zaron acting shocked that Elizabeth has another mashup just makes me stupidly thrilled every time. Listen- if you enjoy enjoying things, this is the one for you. If it isn't your favorite podcast, idk go get therapy or something. Also, they have an A+ terrific website.
