Absolutely this. All the churchy people I've known throughout my life were the biggest hypocrites on earth.

Dr. Grande, I think the reason the Watts case caught the zeitgeist and not the Coleman case is because of the Netflix special, the fact their lives were captured on video like a movie from their wedding forward, the strong social media presence and appeal of Shanann and the kids, and lastly, the horrifying manner of the disposal of the remains.

I would like a Dr. Grande analysis, with 4 shots of dry humor, extra cactus, and pile on the unique insight!!!

[@paulabuck5976]

I’ll have what she’s having!

[@kellyb1420]

Me too! Like he definitely murdered his Grammar before murdering his wife and two kids? Maybe his parents should of taught him proper English and proper spelling 1st before teaching him to speak in TONGUES! 🤷‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️

[@Back-handedLuck-ul7ms]

@paintjade - yes! Or a loop of his one liners. Most of them are priceless.

[@jccusell]

The dead pan jokes and puns interjected throughout such a serious analysis is hillarious and most importantly unique. Briljant.

[@lymarie1974]

Had a gorgeous wife and children. Good job, nice home. All window dressing. The inside must had been misery for his wife and kids.

[@nutmegandcynicism]

The hours and hours of home videos made the Watts case unique. Never before could the public get to know the victims of a crime so intimately

[@Cinnamongirl119]

Again! I have to comment and say how well these videos are scripted and the time and effort put into the analysis. As a PhD student I often wish my assignments could tackle analysis in this clear and direct way! So easy to follow and just enough opinion to make it thoroughly engaging. I love watching these! Very entertaining as a criminology BA MA and hopefully soon PhD grad. Brilliant take on this topic.

[@bthomson]

This is where Dr. Grande truly excels!

[@helpyourcattodrive]

Another interesting case from Grande …

[@nyvatrinigurl4743]

I always think of Chris Longo and how he murdered his family just to be free of them. He reminds me so much of Chris Watts. He also blamed the deaths of his children on his wife and justified killing his wife because of what she did. Then he’s attempted to rehabilitate his image by attempting to start an organ donation program for prisoners. I would love if you reviewed his case, Dr. Grande. I would like to understand the mind of a family annihilator.

[@mlee81]

it'll help you choose a mate.... well that definitely is a family annilator let's cross that one off the list...

[@wrmlm37]

Positively scathing, Doc! Nicely done, Ty for the upload;)

[@justinbrantley4252]

His sarcasm is the best! He makes me chuckle with his super straight face. I find his analysis of the crimes reviewed in depth and clinical. I almost feel smarter for listening.

[@MeganVictoriaKearns]

Totally agree 👍

[@karmeluful]

As usual, I start listening to Dr Grande as soon as a see the notification, I always find his speculation interesting, educative and sometimes funny but I am starting to think the lizard people are the cacti behind him because they keep moving 😁

[@fluffgirl1000]

funny how religion and millionaire go together..god loves you but he needs money

[@deltanovember1672]

Yeah. An omnipotent being needs money. What a sham.

[@Corina6235]

I mean, if we are talking about Christianity, it's not that God needs money, it's that He encourages Christians to be generous with their money. God isn't opposed to wealth at all - because money is neutral. It's actually the love of money that He hates because He wants His followers to be generous with their wealth - to give to the poor, the widow, the orphans, the needy. Use it to bless others in need. Anyone who uses their beliefs - Christianity or not - to gain and hoard wealth for themselves is a heretic.

With the Watts case, the victims were missing at first. Missing wife and children always attracts ore attention at first.

[@peggypeggy4137]

That is so true !! Caylee Anthony and Laci Peterson come to mind, Both of these cases were extremely bizarre. All the lies and the complete lack of concern. Unfortunately Casey Anthony walked. May her life continue to be miserable.

[@ryanponder679]

Good point

[@burntreynolds8312]

I was just doing some thinking about how Impressive it is how you do all this research and come up with these videos like nothing it's hard to imagine you have time for anything else but I'm sure you do so I find it inspiring to myself that I need to take full advantage of the time each day because I am lazy sometimes and negative

[@alicianwinter]

i think the main reason the Watts case is more ‘notorious’ is due to his wife’s social media presence, the body cam footage, his apparent ‘good looks’ (not sure why anyone thinks this) and the simple fact that there seems to be more information available on that case.. both men are two peas in a pod, though 😅

[@lanceanthony198]

Moral of the story, never trust anyone named Chris. Lol

[@Jmn271]

It would appear that Chris started by murdering grammar then moved on from there! 🤣🤣🤣 love it!!

[@paulinebradleycarroll7745]

Was unfamiliar with Coleman's crimes. Looked him up online and found his beautiful family and wish them Godspeed. Truly thankful for the gravitas, judicious tone, and brilliant analysis that you bring to this and all your discussions.

[@hairlesscat6458]

This guy’s dry humor is the best part of this channel. I loved the barbed wire gurney joke! That sounds sarcastic

[@helpyourcattodrive]

I can see how working for someone like Joyce Meyer would make someone want the same thing and not care about right and wrong. It happens w me and politicians. I feel if they can get away w financial crimes and not follow the law, why should I? I think that, but I still follow the law.

[@filipefigueiredo9847]

I've been following this channel for a while and I've noticed you in the comments section before, and althought this is totally unrelated to the video/ content in general, I just wanted to say that your profile name is awesome lol Have a great day

[@bthomson]

Yeah! Right?

[@elisamastromarino7123]

In regard to why Chris Coleman wasn't seemingly as scandalous as Chris Watts despite the similarities, I have wondered the same thing. My best guess is that Facebook and Twitter were new during the time Chris Coleman killed his family. Thank you Dr Grande. I agree. He did it. 👍🌹

[@suzanneracine3049]

one of the reason is that chris watt went on tv to get help to find his family who he said vanished. that made the news so everybody heard about it.

[@kristis4147]

Dr grande cracks me up!! He keeps a straight face and delivers the funniest lines. Can he diagnose himself ?

[@katieejeann2139]

I love you Dr. Grande. Thanks for always being there for us! 💙💙💙

[@lunchboxfightsyou]

Chris Watts is (arguably) more traditionally attractive, but also there is a considerable amount of footage available to the public regarding the murder of Shannan and the girls, which may also contribute to it’s infamy

[@annal7364]

I dont’ imagine Chris is having a goodtime with how prison is setup. He wonders how life may be different if only he could go back and listen to his second grade teacher. But he cant’. 😬

[@Mindy14]

Thank you soooo much I have wanted this case to be covered more!

[@culturalobserver8721]

It’s interesting to note that often times, one immoral act follows another. As if a person who gets caught up in one evil fantasy usually free falls into another, and then another! It’s like their “moral meter” becomes completely broken - but they themselves broke it! Dr. Grande, you should do a follow up video on the “other women,” their mental state during and after the crimes and what became of these women!

[@OanhSchlesinger]

Omg- I love Dr Grande’s humor. Though I often wonder how Dr Grande keeps a straight face while I am laughing out loud. As always the analysis of cases are well thought out and interesting.
