Game of Crimes

1,102

Host Steve "Murph" Murphy (retired DEA Agent, featured in NARCOS on Netflix) takes you inside the most intense and fascinating true crime stories in the world. Real life tales from the most notorious cases everyone knows and some you've probably never heard of (until now) from those who broke the law and those who were sworn to enforce it. Murph  asks the questions and gets into the true stories from the real life players in the biggest, baddest, most dangerous game of all -- the Game of Crimes.

    Great show
    Just stated watching so good!!!!
  • ol'Montucky
    Morgan made the show
    Was better with Morgan. As soon as he left the show slowed way down and isn’t as interesting. Murphy just don’t have enough life in him to be the one who carries the show.
  • Toryron
    Greg kading
    Greg Kading has not 1 piece of evidence that supports his investigation in biggies murder. If what he said is true why don’t the lapd make a statement and say we support him and close the case
  • LAPD watchdog
    Crooked Kading
    Normally I’m a big fan of your show, but to have a crooked cop who is a proven liar like Greg Kading really brings my respect level for GOC down a notch. That’s not me saying it, look up Torres v Ramos and how over 50 convictions were tossed due to Kading’s “Blatant disregard for the truth.” Those are the judge’s words, not mine. Why don’t you interview a man with integrity who was the lead investigator into the Biggie case for the FBI - retired agent Phil Carson.
  • JJ Widner
    Great show
    Guests are informative, hosts don’t hedge around difficult questions. Really brings the listener awareness of things going on in our country the general public is probably not aware of
  • SniffelBug
    Guests are Awesome!
    Hi Guys. I love you podcast! The guests are SO genuine and inspiring. I can’t wait for new episodes.
  • HannahNanner5
    The best!
    I’ve been listening for years now and look forward to each episode. Thank you for your service and for sharing the stories of our country’s heroes!
  • Nika346q

    Loved hearing Libertas on here. Libertas are our heroes in Wyoming as I am sure they are in Medellin. Keep them good guests coming! I found this podcast because you had Libertas on it!
  • JenMcV
    Go Murph Go
    I wish these guys were my neighbors because I could listen to them forever. I love when you can talk to someone and feel their sincerity in the story. That’s these guys. Not necessarily anything like Small Town Murder(my favorite) but I will be listening to this also.
  • Ganz Factor
    Amazing stories
    Great people, great interviews.
  • Pete lane 5423
    So much better without Morgan
    So much easier to listen to with just Murph.
  • Chris70x
    Keep it goin’ Murph!!!
    Even though Morgan is pursuing other endeavors at this time, you are taking the old podcast horse by the reigns like a true professional! Keep up the outstanding job!!!
  • Pipewelder 86
    Awesome show
    Small town murder and crime in sports sent me to this podcast. Really love this format and the deep information about the subject of each episode. Keep up the great work guys
  • M-luc
    Tim Matson
    Really enjoyed listening to this one. I was brought to tears listening to how Tim was treated by his own bosses while awaiting trial for the mass murderer. God bless you, Tim. Thank you to you and your family for your service and sacrifice. Best of luck as you transition into a new season of life. Thank you, Morgan and Murph for bringing these stories to us.
  • Central Coast guy
    Best police/crime podcast anywhere!
    The hosts are able to make the person being interviewed feel relaxed and comfortable using knowledge, familiarity and humor, which leads to in depth conversations about things that might normally get overlooked or glossed over. Highly recommended!
  • itwasntmesir45
    STOP MORGAN!!
    Unlistenable due to the ridiculous constant questioning Morgan does every show. I was soooo irritated by his interrupting I had to turn it off. It's truly ruins this could have been great show. Ugghhh!
  • BK from RVA
    June Hawkins Episode
    The June Hawkins episode was terrific.
  • Jamesyn❤️
    New Fan
    Just listened to the Kevin Holland podcasts. I’ve had the pleasure to meet Kevin a few times, as we live in the same town. He is as humble in person as he is on here. Not many people get to meet a true hero.
  • SnappyHEMI
    Simply the Best!
    This is the best law enforcement based podcast out there. Morgan does an excellent steering the guests and Murph offers great insight. Absolutely worth the investment in time to listen. Keep up the good work!!
  • LindsayW11
    What’s not to love?
    What has adventure, laughter, crime, heroism, brotherhood, and life lessons? This show!
  • ManOfScience
    Love the stories and interviews but PLEASE stop the constant name dropping
    These guys are fantastic and have a wealth of experience and a war chest of stories and equally fascinating guests… it just kills me when they start random name dropping for some non-guest supervisor or co-worker, no matter how impressive that person is, it only reminds us of what an exclusive club they’re in and we are NOT part of it. It’s distributive to the story the guest is telling. The ‘Hey, did you work with so and so’ gets repetitive and serves no purpose for the listener’s experience. It actually is a jolting reminder that ‘we are not in your club’. It breaks the spell of being immersed in the guests narrative. I hate to be critical, but this is the sole flaw in this great show. I really do love it and want it to be even better. If you’re reading this and take note. Thank you! Truly appreciate your efforts in bringing these people to us and giving them a platform to share the amazing jobs they do!
  • Coll15342
    Guests are Amazing
    I have listened since the beginning-Guests have amazing stories. Good Bless Law Enforcement. Sadly, Morgan continues interrupting the guests. Very frustrating when Morgan interrupts a great story. My daughter and I were on a road trip and I thought she was asleep when all of a sudden she sat up and said oh my God who is this dude and why won’t he let these people talk? I see that other people share my opinion and it doesn’t seem like it has changed! Perhaps they do not read their reviews?
  • rhiannon125
    Looooove it
    I’m a little behind, I just got to episode 72 and finished 71 with Derek Maltz. I love this podcast!!!! Morgan and Murph’s banter is top-tier and their guests are absolutely amazing. Derek Maltz gave me an eye-opener discussing the true issues with Fentanyl and how it’s being distributed and targeted at kids. I also loved the initial episode with Murph and Javier discussing the takedown of Pablo Escobar. I cannot recommend this podcast enough, by all means, smash the subscribe button and binge because these people are amazing and there’s so many honorable and interesting people being interviewed that you won’t want to miss it!

  • Pat O.D.
    Julie Redcay
    Excellent podcast! I found your interview with Julie Redcay truly inspirational. She has done so much good helping out at risk kids. Kudos to her and her work with PAL.
  • instagram is a waste.
    Lou Valzoe
    This podcast is from 2021. You guys need to let your guest talk. If you want to let people know your stories have a pod cast to tell your stories. Let your guest talk. Highly disrespectful to not let your guest talk.
  • Ajf140
    Less Morgan
    More from the guests and less from Morgan. Otherwise great podcast
  • Jogunz5
    More on the Mexican mafia please
    Can you bring mundo back on? I would like to hear the rest of his story
  • Lola Cash West
    RIVETING!!!!
    Mundo gives you a raw, honest and shocking look into the life of what is The Mexican Mafia “La EME”. You’ll hear about the crimes, the betrayals, the prison wars, and the death sentences that are part of this life. You’ll hear about his redemption, the transformation and the hope that he found after leaving the gang. Can’t wait for #3!!
  • stebben83
    Thank you!
    Each and every episode has been awesome! We all should learn what it’s like to be in Law Enforcement. Hearing from those who have been convicted and hearing about the mind set is nice as well. Mundo was so informative
  • buttelick
    Great
    So glad I found this. Only a few episodes in but I dig it already. This will be big I believe
  • DesensitizedNYC
    K-9’s
    I started listening to this podcast after James and Jimmie from STM announced it. I’ve got to admit that I cried through most of Ted Dahlin’s story about the loss of his canine partner. I even went on YouTube to watch them on Steve Harvey’s show. I cried again. I love your show. Having friends and family in law enforcement, I’m so excited that you guys put it out there the dangers of this job and the sacrifices of these brave and selfless officers. Great job guys!! I know you can’t see this, but this is me, saluting you!

  • A fan among fans
    Awesome
    This show gives civilians an opportunity to hear what it takes to keep society safe - from those who put themselves at risk to ensure it. God bless our LEOs
  • Roger_Sterling
    Let them talk
    For someone who brags about instructing interview and interrogation, Morgan needs to learn to close his yapper and let the guests talk. If it weren’t for the quality of the guests I would have given up long ago.
  • max_vandy_nash
    Great
    I don’t ever write reviews, been listening to the show since it started, but after Morgan called the fmr assistant director of the ATF a “chrome dome” I had to. 10/10

  • cschupp76
    The Kevin Holland Episode. WOW! Do it again!!
    This guy was unbelievable!! Almost 5 hours and I could’ve listened to him another 5. I tried listening to him while working (which I normally do for your shows) & I couldn’t do it. I was so focused on his every word. I had to wait until after work. I hope you have him back on for the rest of his stories. WHAT A GUY!! Thank you for your service! God Bless you and all you do! Thank you Game if Crimes for bringing on all these heros. MAKE SURE TO BRING BACK HOLLAND. I need a whole week of his stories.
  • me&thedoodle
    Top Notch!
    Give me all the mafia and cartel real life stories you can. The fact this content is “real life”, told by the ones to live it at the time, is just the best thing ever!!! And the banter and relationship with you two is the icing on the cake. Keep up the marvelous episodes 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    This podcast is absolutely fascinating. I can't quit listening.
  • Miraz38
    I want to love it…
    I love law enforcement, I love true crime, I wanted to love this podcast - each episode is WAY too long. Morgan interrupts a LOT with the same stories over and over, and the same “bits.” The guests are amazing, but I dread when it comes up in my feed and they’re a slog to get through. The guests’ stories usually make me glad I listened.
  • jawannerful
    Thank You!
    Thank you for giving law enforcement a platform to tell real, not media driven, stories! I look forward to listening to the episodes every week!
