The Smoking Gun S.19 Ep.29

This week Kimberly and Katie are discussing Dateline’s “Something Sweet”– an episode in which Sir Manky with the Hanky asks the age old question that has plagued scholars for generations… HER? Join us as we scientifically break down that enigma. Is it her hair? Her smile? Her clothing that is so thoughtfully color coordinated to the murder weapon? We may never get our answer, but we will see some awesome horse and buggy b-roll along the way. Official Description from NBCU: A retired corrections officer mysteriously dies from antifreeze poisoning in rural Ohio. Detectives uncover multiple suspects during a five-year investigation that causes two families to collide. Josh Mankiewicz reports.   This episode is dedicated to our Patronus Jodi!!! Thank you Jodi!

This week’s recap finds Kimberly and Katie reviewing an update Dateline from their other favorite K. That’s right, the lean king himself Mr. Keith Morrison is reporting on tale, and a man, as old as time – the fascinating case(s) of Robert Durst. Kimberly and Katie discuss The Jinx, illicit drug use among the elderly, catalog ready-to-wear courtroom fashion and the importance of finding a good dry cleaner in NOLA when you really need one. As Texas’ most infamous defense attorney would say- this episode of ADWD is like trying to eat a chicken salad sandwich on a fence post on a windy day. Sometimes your chicken salad has raisins in it for no dag gum reason and sometimes you realize that isn’t chicken salad at all… it’s a taco. Please enjoy this insightful, complicated and very, very, very special episode of A Date with Dateline. Official Description from NBCU: Rarely-seen video is revealed of Robert Durst’s friends testifying for the prosecution as to why he might have killed his best friend, Susan Berman.

Buck Naked and the Exhibitionists are back for an encore in this PART DEUX episode covering Dateline’s “A Gathering Storm”. We left off in Part 1, with Mank being extra dapper, Jim Jeans getting into some hot water with the law and K&K trying to keep up with the ever changing locations, bad weather and random, sudden glow-ups of pageant Peggy and Jean. In this second part of the recap, Jean finally gets some good sense, Peggy gives a hefty dose of her own nonsense, an actor/lawyer gives the worlds worst opening statement in his defense and Kimberly and Katie of course have to add their two cents to the whole affair. New Mexico! Real Mexico! Don Quixote! Hats! 80-foot Houseboats! You won’t want to miss this conclusion to a very special episode of A DATE WITH DATELINE! Official Description from NBCU: In the midst of a storm, a Florida man is holed up in a hotel room seeking shelter and hiding from his past. Josh Mankiewicz reports.

Hear ye, Hear ye- On June 8th the year of our Lord 2019, Kimberly and Katie were given the immense honor of sitting down with their favorite male hosts of the television program known purely as DATELINE. *Secrets* were revealed, smiles lit up the room, and none of their lives were ever the same. Actually the lives of Josh Mankiewicz, Keith Morrison, and Dennis Murphy probably stayed pretty much the same. But, Kimberly and Katie’s lives showed a definite uptick in the clout department. And, K & K were endlessly grateful to the hosts and the persons behind their beloved show, Dateline, for the opportunity. These are their stories. Please excuse any sound issues. Kimberly and Katie are amateur professionals and did their best with their new-fangled recorder thingymajig. Learn more about your ad choices.
