It doesn't seem right to be covering a Diabolical episode without Dateline's Dennis is Enough Murphy...but here we are with "Devil Wears False Eyelashes" from ID Network's DIABOLICAL series. This very special Double Date with Dateline episode features boat trips gone bad, "making the hook-up" in tiki bars, bunny hallucinations and an explosive conclusion that will surprise even amateur professional true crime connoisseurs like Kimberly and Katie. Oh, and Florida. Florida is in there too. It's mu...

Beep Beep! Buckle up because it's time for a new series within the ID Network's pantheon of shows- this time its BETRAYED. The case involves a church elder, a respected church mom, a few scandalous mistresses, a couple of Long Island neighbors and one heaping serving of ambrosia salad. Kimberly and Katie are here to discuss the unique first person re-imaginactiment, sweater vests, police interrogation sandwiches and try not to let their conversation veer straight into something called a bridge a...

In this Dateline classic Keith Morrison is on the scene in beautiful Montana where a handsome vet was murdered in his bunkhouse and here's the kicker...there's TWO equally viable suspects! Friday or Saturday night activities have never been so important as finding the real murderer depends on it! Kimberly and Katie, for the first time EVER, may actually have made a breakthrough in the case as watershoes-gate could be the key to solving this decades old crime! So hide your diary, put a paperweigh...

Swing yer partner round and round! It's all twirling and skipping and fruit punch sipping at the Guys & Dolls Dance Hall. But what happens when a beautiful newly single woman swings onto the arm of the wrong persons husband? Well, skirt's are going to get a little more than ruffled. Kimberly and Katie are diving into the extremely non-seedy underbelly of the Arkansas square dancing community with this incredible case from the ID Network's "Murder Loves Company" series. Will Kimberly reveal dark ...

In this very special EXPERIMENTAL A Date With Dateline, Kimberly and Katie rewind, rewind, rewind to one of the earliest cases of their careers, Finding Sarah Goode. Listen as they relive their very first hardwood floor installer slash nail technician slash guido uncle, their first nosy neighbor with actual binoculars like Jessica Fletcher, and, most importantly, their inaugural bag of weiners teenager! Where were YOU when you first saw Jason miming sleeping on a roll of toilet paper in prison? ...

After a quick Dateline break, Kimberly and Katie are back to working through the almighty ID Network "Episodes You Shouldn't Watch Alone" list that Katie is using as a guide to the vast number of murders and mysteries available on ID. This episode from "True Nightmares" is a triple threat style with 3 stories in one episode! A possibly German accountant, a highly educated grave robber and a family that slays together stays together are the focus of the three ghastly tales told to us by our new e...

Since the Warren Jeffs episode had teenage brides that were kind of a downer, Kimberly and Katie decided to liven things up with some good old fashioned murdery mystery with the Dateline Classic, INDISCRETION. When a young billiards-playing woman is found murdered with a #1 written on the wall above her body, is it a (literal) sign of more murders to come? Or is it just one more anomaly in a series of misguided decisions made by the dumbest duo of criminals since the Wet Bandits. How does a No D...

What Happened To The Children? Spoiler Alert: We still don't know. But we're getting closer! The next Dateline episode on this story will hopefully have an exclamation point instead of a question mark. But in this case the punctuation is appropriate as this bizarre continuation on the Lori Vallow Daybell saga leaves us with more questions than answers. Questions such as is the ginger intern journalist not allowed to speak? Were K & K impressed with Lori's beauty pageant b-roll? Is this episode s...

Double Date comes early this week because something wonderful has happened. Kimberly and Katie have been blessed by the Dateline gods and sit down... well do a video call... with the one and only Sir Manky with the Hanky- Josh Mankiewicz! It may be a pandemic but we are calling this a PandeMANK because he is doing his part to fill the social isolation void by bringing the world a thrilling new podcast called MOTIVE FOR MURDER. It's a much more in depth look at the case featured in the Dateline e...

This week is a departure from the ID Network and back to the namesake where it all began. It's a vintage Dateline staring the Queen Andrea Canning who is reporting on a case that sounds way too fancy for the likes of Kimberly and Katie. "Mystery at Ascot Estates" has not one but two murders involving a lovely songstress, a couple of bookies, an ancient Irish defense council and... one toilet seat that will throw everything into question. K & K are ready to flush away all their misconceptions of ...

A cop, a rabbi's son, and Keith Morrison walk into a bar...and then things get insane. When a college student is found murdered, police are forced to investigate one of their own, and Kimberly and Katie are forced to analyze the dramatic Fosse inspired lighting that is unlike anything ever seen before on Dateline and not on a Broadway stage. The reviews on the lighting were mixed, but the reviews on Kimberly and Katie butchering "All That Jazz" are sure to be in agreement. This episode also feat...

It's time to get suspicious again... but this time is a much nicer suspicion because we are going to Canada, eh! But while the people may be nicer in the sleepy waterfront area of Cosy Cove the crime is pretty horrific. Kimberly and Katie are still working through the great ID Network "Episodes You Shouldn't Watch Alone" list and "Cosy Cove Killings", Season 1 Episode 3 from Suspicion series is another creepy crawly tale. And a very good example of why you need to keep a sharp eye on your neighb...

Guess who's back? Manky's back! Tell a friend (from 6 feet away or remotely). Sir Mankiewicz is about break the fourth wall of THE HOUSE, where the murder of a husband outside his beloved house reveals a family living together in turmoil. Set in a neighborhood where every single person is filming every second of their lives like they're auditioning for The Real World, THE HOUSE generously provides Kimberly and Katie with security footage, cell phone footage, and Go Pro footage aplenty for them t...

Title three from the "Episodes You Shouldn't Watch Alone" ID Network list is just as bonkers as the previous two. It's another doozy from the YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE series with the very non-frightening title "Murder Mouse". No. That's not right.... "Murder HOUSE". To this date there has yet to be a murderous mouse, that we know of. We are going back in time to a Clue-esque mansion filled with creepy classical music, booze filled rantings and a secret tucked away in an upstairs bedroom. Topics will...

The most recent Friday Dateline is a repeat, so it's time to go back to school with a young Keith Morrison and a vest-less Lester to learn about the dangers of "Bad Chemistry". This vintage Dateline includes many of the old standbys- a dramatic divorce, a cranky Clovis-ian, vitriolic voicemails, and a barrel full of… not monkeys, just deep deep sadness. One young man, who is definitely NOT Joey Fatone, causes Kimberly to re-examine her own high school GPA and related achievements in life, and Ka...

Kimberly and Katie continue on the list of "Episodes You Shouldn't Watch Alone" from ID Network and this week it's "Death Next Door" from the the SUSPICION series. It's an apropos tale of what appears to be a zombie apocalypse in an otherwise unassuming neighborhood. Our heroine Anita is watching those around her change slowly into monsters as she gets sicker and sicker and the wigs and makeup department's jobs get harder and harder. K & K solve the puzzle early but that doesn't mean that Anita ...

Last week Dennis Murphy took us to a Lonely Road. This week he's taking us on a Road Trip to solve the murder of a holistic doctor living in totally normal Florida, where crazy things hardley EVER happen. It's time to virtually crank some tunes and eat road snacks like cut up bananas with the skin still on and Chinese food dumplings that haven't gotten great reviews on Yelp. Kimberely and Katie are talking about classic Dateline tropes like Walmart kill kits, Nancy Grace (Where's the body!?!), a...

What is this? You may be asking yourself. Self, why is there suddenly a second episode of a A Date with Dateline being released? Welcome to a Double Date with Dateline! In this series Kimberly and Katie will be covering not only their beloved Dateline but also various episodes plucked specially from the ID Network for your enjoyment. In Double Date the stories get scarier, the jokes get funnier and hopefully Kimberly and Katie will be able to stay on track as the episodes are a little bit shorte...

Birthday boy Dennis Murphy is taking us back to a time many moons ago, to a crazy world known as 1982, where there's been a death (and we're not talking about disco). Was it murder? An accident? A bad case of the awful knoffles? Buckle up and make sure that door is closed, because we're going on a rough ride through multiple trials, multiple exhumations, and multiple fascinating hairstyles. It is of the rare Datelines, where Kimberly and Katie literally have NO IDEA what actually happened in thi...

It's possible many are in need of some serious distraction, and what's more distracting than Keith Morrison, a good old fashioned murder mystery and two best friends who dissect every last detail of the case? That means it's time for a Saturday night repeat episode- In Broad Daylight! Keith is our leaning guide through this tale of a suburban mom who was killed inside her home while officers were standing right outside her front door. There is a roided out hit man, a middle man named El Cubano, ...

Dateline surprises everyone with a Queen Andrea Canning Threepeat! When a wife and mother dies after not one but two accidents in a single evening, a detective is on the case to see if it's actually a murder… kind of. He's really busy at the time. This episode features Civil War facial hair, an inappropriate turn of phrase by Lester (!), and most importantly, a Christian bike club hereto referred to by the CTCMCHHAH or alternatively CTCMCTripleH. Kimberly and Katie get a little bogged down so tr...

He was The Perfect Guy… or was he? Spoiler alert: he was not. He was a money stealing, military faking, doctor/lawyer/businessman/fireman/pilot who screwed over women in more states than Kimberly can point out on a map… so six. Thank goodness Queen Andrea Canning is with us again this week to both comfort the heartbroken women while simultaneously taking down another d- bag with her line of questioning. Multitasking military mom to the rescue! She can do it all. Kimberly and Katie have many thou...

Date Datelineson is bringing us another case with multiple locations, multiple crimes, multiple victims and only one man responsible for all the tragedy. Queen Andrea Canning is hot on the scene and asking the hard questions to the world's most "unlucky" human. This episode has gourmet ducks, a very condescending convict, Jake from State Farm and the coining of the term "datelineing" as a verb. Hold on to your horses, because Kimberly Kimberson and Kate Katieson are ready to talk barns, braids a...

In "Where are the Children", Dateline brings us a case so confusing that they gave us a flow chart. When two children go missing and multiple spouses are dead, Keith goes full on Inspector Gadget meets Hawaii 5-O complete with Jeep and a stroll on the sand. What he finds there are demons living inside people, Helpful Honda angels that will dispose of bodies, and locksmith ghosts that like to cause mischief. Will you be one of the 144,000 people to survive the end of times? How accurate is the ti...
