LIVE SHOW 8/28...5th District Follow-up

Live from Columbus Café in Dogtown St. Louis, the crew kicks off with laughs, fried chicken, and updates on upcoming shows. They preview a powerful episode featuring the O’Brien family, who endured three unsolved murders spanning decades, joined by retired FBI agent Frank Brostrom to shed light on the cases. Future shows include a deep dive into the “Bloody 3rd District” with veteran officers.

This week’s live guest, Billy Noonan, returns with unfinished business—unreal 5th District tales about street legends like Showboat the aggressive panhandler, and Orson Welles (not the famous one), a car thief-turned-shooter with stories straight out of a crime novel. Billy recalls wild nights, colorful partners like “Big Sexy” Bob Dudley, and the unforgettable chaos of St. Louis policing.

Between gritty stories, the crew keeps things lively with their new Traffic Anger Hotline, hilarious debates over road rage in a Model T, and undercover cops crammed into a Geo Metro. They riff on fantasy football punishments (yes, one involves a sperm bank, another a gallon of mayo), the return of cassette tapes, and even the time a runaway steer led to a full-blown police rodeo in Soulard.

The night rounds out with JJ’s Zen moment, a surprise voicemail from the infamous Craven Morehead, and plenty of laughs, jabs, and community shoutouts.
