The long Dateline drought is almost over, and so we’ve pulled a doozy of an episode from the vault to tide over our impatience. It’s got three denim dames, two grange gals, and one leaning Keith who is NOT hiding his feelings about this case. Plus a heroic pup that we are 100 percent certain that we’ve convinced ourselves is fine! Now sit, stay, and be quiet because it’s time for THE MAN WHO TALKED TO DOGS (with Kimberly and Katie who talk to dogs, cats, raccoons, possums, baby skunks and sometimes even puppets)!

Official Description from NBCU: When a dog trainer with celebrity clientele disappears, investigators track down a suspect with the help of two witnesses. Keith Morrison reports.

65 SECONDS may be the title of this Dateline, but Kimberly and Katie had so much to say on this particular episode it had to be split into 2 parts! In this Part Deux installment the suspect/husband's second wife Rachel comes forward with a story to tell the police! But does it finally lead to justice for Heidi Firkus? Or will it be immense financial irresponsibility, a lack of packing materials and a blue man group miniature model that finally lead to the incarceration of a killer? Tune into the conclusion of A DATE WITH DATELINE: Eviction to Conviction to find out!

Official Description from NBCU: After an apparent home invasion in Minnesota leaves Heidi Firkus dead and her husband, Nick, hospitalized, detectives learn the young couple was facing financial troubles. Blayne Alexander reports!

Dateline is going for the gold! They’re throwing heavy discs and pommel horsing their way to the podium! So who knows better than Keith Morrison, that when an Olympic bronze medal shot putter is killed by an elusive prowler in his own California backyard, there might be more to the story. This case involves dirty laundry (both the literal and the metaphorical kind), a grandfather clock with secrets and a verdict that could shock you. If we recap Dateline’s THE HOMETOWN HERO & THE HOMECOMING QUEEN, would you still call us Super(wo)man?

‘Cause baby now we got atiea new ID Network episode! Dateline is still on a summer break, so Kimberly and K are diving back into BETRAYED, the series from the ID Network where a VoiceOver ghost counts down their murder and points to a variety of suspects who are reenacting their hearts out! In the episode Bad Blood a retired corrections officer Ray just wants to barbecue in peace, but running children and his wife’s entire family are ruining it for him! Join us to find out just why he hates when kids run around so much, if a double negative leads to proof positive, and if the guy who previously tried to blow Ray up is the murderer or is that too obvious? And if you’re thinking this case sounds familiar, you’re right! We covered the Dateline version of this case years ago but trust us, ID tells the story… differently. 

Official Description from ID: Retired corrections officer Ray Kotomski believes he has put peril behind him, then he faces danger in the form of his second wife, her hostile brother, jealous ex-husband, and deranged stalker.

It’s a summer of firsts! For the first time ever, Kimberly and Katie revisit their very first Patreon episode from 2017, hoping to finally decide the answer to the ultimate Dateline question, did the husband do it? We couldn’t figure it out 7 years ago, but we now have hundreds of Dateline recaps under our belts. Have our instincts been finely honed? Or are we still judging a case solely on invisible tears, a group of women’s less than stellar memories of their deceased sister, and an ever enduring Dawson’s Creek caesar haircut? Has Josh Mankiewicz's trip to slightly sinister cornfield led us any closer to the truth of this case? Let us know what your verdict would be! It’s a Dateline classic, MYSTERY AT HEATH BAR FARM! 

OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION FROM NBCU: When Tom Foley becomes the top suspect in his wife's murder, he spends the next two years trying to prove his innocence. Josh Mankiewicz reports.

It’s a Summertime Double Cheat Date with Dateline! For the first time, Kimberly is cheating on Dateline AND cheating on Katie! And she doesn’t even feel guilty about it. That’s because Katie is out of the country and it’s a case that she won’t talk to Kimberly about anymore anyway. That’s right, it’s a case that Kimberly has been bobsessed with for years, and who better to fuel her bobsession than ID Network and their strange, ghost speaks from beyond the grave, murder countdown show BETRAYED. And who better to share this wild show with than one of K and K’s podcast sister wives Mary Payne, host of the podcast Pink Shade! Kimberly and MP had a great time with this episode, but don’t panic, Katie will be back next week! In the meantime, we hope you enjoy BETRAYED: KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE (or a title that makes more sense)!

Picture Wilford Brimley as a hoarder, then add a touch of Woody Woodpecker, and you’ve got George Parent, the most unapologetic resident of 3.14159 Circle Highway Village. Was a rusted tractor the inciting incident of this neighborly feud between George and Ron? Was it a torrid love affair that might just be in Kimberly and Katie’s minds?
