A Date With Dateline

Hi...Hi...Hi... Hey you... Dateline’s THE LIFE SHE WANTED should be called The Life WE Wanted because it has given us everything we didn’t even have the foresight to put on the bingo cards. It’s got Hawaiian Mike, Meek/Dirty Diana, and their love story for the ages. Unfortunately Diana is not Mike's wife... his wife would be Sherri who has gone missing from a Target parking lot. Kimberly and Katie have much to discuss including the most cringeworthy interrogation room whispering and stroking of all time, a highly inappropriate family Christmas card, witchcraft at a supermarket deli counter, and a fake disguise complete with props. Who else could act as host for an episode featuring so much outlandish behavior and give it the snark it deserves?? Sir Josh Mankiewicz with the hankies obviously! . So settle in with some meatless snacks (because that will for sure prove you’re not a murderer) and join K & K for a very special DATE WITH DATELINE! Official Description from NBCU: Witnesses see a woman handcuffed in a parking lot and taken into an unmarked car by a blond woman. But detectives can't find any record of an arrest. Where could she be? Josh Mankiewicz reports. An easy way to support A Date With Dateline is by checking out our sponsors! We love our Munk Pack granola bars!!!

Kimberly and Katie have found a new and surprisingly confusing ID Network show to discuss on Double Date! Introducing BLOOD RELATIVES. Every episode title is a word play on murder, the voiceover is done by Brenda Strong, and there’s cameos from a mysterious insect or reptile in every scene that the actors don’t seem to notice. K & K are discussing the latter along with the sad murder of North Carolina stepdad with an affinity for treasure hunts. They have also picked up a potential new hobby along the way. Need a hint? It involves dungeons (not of the Master Bob variety) and Dragons (bearded and otherwise). Grab a large pitcher of water and enjoy their struggle to analyze the symbolism, acting choices, and narrative of this Kafkaesque piece of art from our friends at Investigation Discovery!  Series: Blood Relatives Episode: Death is in the Heir, Season 5, Episode 3 Official Description from INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY: Old family money and a get-rich-quick attitude are a deadly combo in NC.

It’s COLLATERAL DAMAGE, which means Dateline is tackling the frightning following on everyone's mind- NXIVM! There’s no murder in this Dateline (that we know about), which makes it a bit off brand (!) for them. But it’s still got plenty of Datelineisms to enjoy— a scam artist of the highest order, people in denial, and disturbing photos of our perpetrator in an open bathrobe. It's another case of Him?, but much worse because this time Him? runs a cult. There hasn't been a man inexplicably getting beautiful women’s devotion like this since… last week with Tom Randolph. And if you think you know everything about this case, think again. Dateline has brought us brand new interviews, including a backflipping doctor and a wide eyed actress that scared Kimberly to her core. If you want to be an executive success, you better join A Date with Dateline for COLLATERAL DAMAGE! Official Description from NBCU: Former NXIVM member Dr. Danielle Roberts defends branding members of the alleged sex cult; former members India Oxenberg and her mother, Catherine, open up about how they are doing after the group's founder is convicted of felonies. Kate Snow reports. Patronizing our sponsors helps out our show! Be like Kimberly and purchase your new favorite pair of dress pants that feel like yoga pants!

It’s the final episode of Dateline trilogy THE WIDOWER, aka A Pig in Pigtails, aka When Justice Shows up in Khakis, aka Why Did Love Put a Gun in my Hand and an Earworm in my Brain! Tom Randolph is in jail, and he wants to talk. A lot. About women. About the law. And a little bit about bad courtroom fashion. He’s the big snake on campus in jail, and is calling all the shots with his rotating parade of defense lawyers who all hate him and wish he would stop talking. Join K & K as they hate watch this hideous human in horror as his every terrible turn of phrase (which he thinks is a great defense of his innocence) makes him sound more and more guilty. Come along as they try to determine the answers to these important questions… is Tom Randolph as smart as he thinks he is? Is he a great legal mind? Or is he actually simply an idiot with a smirk and Daenerys Targaryen hair? But be forewarned, they are NEVER able to answer the ULTIMATE question… HIM? Please enjoy this final A Date with Dateline installment of the three part series from which they will never recover. Official Description from NBCU: Thomas Randolph strikes back against his accusers in exclusive jailhouse interviews. His trial features revealing testimony from his accusers, an emotional verdict, and a surprising twist. Support ADWD by supporting two of our favorite sponsors!

In Part 2 of THE WIDOWER we join our favorite Las Vegas detective team on a murder road trip across America! It's a Dateline trip down memory lane where Tom Randolph changes wives almost as much as he changes his significant other. But Kimberly and Katie have some very serious questions as we get further into this story. Such as... why does Tom Randolph have scuba gear, naked pictures, and a bullet proof vest in his garage? Why did he think a John Waters mustache was a good look? And most importantly, why did love put a gun in my hand? Join K & K as we rage scream our way through the Tom’s first murder trial, then listen as our faith in humanity is restored as Tom suffers one of the most humiliating arrest scenes of all time. It’s glorious. Please enjoy this very special 2nd Night coverage of THE WIDOWER! This episode is dedicated to all the health workers out there putting their own safety on the line day after day for the good of us all. They prove that truly good people DO exist, even though watching three nights Tommy R. makes that a difficult reality to accept. Thank you from the bottom of our squishy hearts!

Night 1 of this very special DATELINE 3 Part event left Kimberly and Katie with a lot of questions. And with no Josh or Dennis to lay out the case while interjecting special quips or Andrea or Keith to walk the landscape (or lean on the landscape) of the crime's location it's up to all of us to keep up with the machinations of the subject of this story- a man named Tom. Tom has a lot of wives, a lot of gall and a LOT of hair. Night 1 revolves around the murder of a sweet unsuspecting Las Vegas grandmother who thought she was finally finding love and found instead a wolf in a long haired lambs clothing (If that lamb wears Cowboys t-shirts). K & K are ready to take on the The Widower's three part event with all the gusto of a Las Vegas detective duo who are determined to see this maniac behind steel bars. Where there is a "will" there is a way! Please enjoy this first part of A Date With Dateline's coverage of THE WIDOWER!

Kimberly and Katie can't get enough of ID Network's BETRAYED series. And "Unholy Alliance" is another shady character filled who-done-it that will leave K & K guessing right until the very end (and even after). A church going, pistol toting woman named Dottie, to her friends, goes missing and the list of suspects is a mile long thanks to her daughters questionable relationship history and the victims own online dating past. This episode has it all- bad seeds, dark deeds, too many leads and the most difficult, backward, in reverse mirror image word that we ever tried to read. So heat up that broccoli from last night and enjoy this very special Double Date with Dateline! Please check out the latest and greatest podcast from our friend BOB RUFF! Yes, that's right our FRIEND! His new podcast TRUE CRIME BINGE is a perfect find for all lovers of both true crime and the podcasters who spend their lives talking about it.
