12. The Clearing (S32E03)
Kurt Money and Kateline continue their quest to catch up with Dateline and their TWO NEW EPS A WEEK. In this ep the two discuss the death of Emily Noble and whether or not her husband, Matt, had anything to do with it. And after last week's triumph of the Vest Besties, K$ is sad to report that we're back to Deputy Dinguses today with the addition of Det. Grubbs to Kurt's "Detectives I Hate With the Passion and Fury of 1,000 Suns" list. WARNING: The subject of suicide is talked about a lot in this episode. If you or someone you love is in a bad place, call 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

11. The Note (S32E02)
The Dateline train keeps on a-rollin' with this Dateline Thursday episode, "The Note," airing October 5th, 2023. Kathy Jo and Megan Nichols are the perfect mother daughter BFF, that is until 80lbs soaking wet pipsqueak sickly Owen Wilson wannabe Brodey Murbarger. Brodey is 17 years old and has the NERVE to tell Kathy Jo that she needs to be on meds and is a bad mom. Then he has the nerve to kill Megan and not give us a FRIGGIN MOTIVE CUZ WE CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. Kurt Money & Kateline do their best to breakdown all of Brodey's hair choices, AC's breaking point with daughter boyfriends and stick around for an UPDATE on Kurt Money's quest to find out the accomplice that helped Michael Haim bury Bonnie Haim's body in July of 1996 during the installation of a pool. And as if we needed it, proof that Detective Robbie Hinson is a total goof and should not have slept on this clue.

8. Page Turner (S31E37)
Yet again, Dateline makes Kurt Money and Kateline look like fools, releasing a new episode the week before the season premiere. "Page Turner" is hosted by Andrea Canning and aired September 22nd, 2023. Kouri and Eric Richins were just your normal wealthy American family, living it up in Park City, Utah. Then March 2022 happened and husband Eric was found dead in his bed. Was it the Moscow Mule he was sipping before bed? Was it the THC gummy he ate to fall asleep? Or was it the massive amounts of fentanyl found in his system? Kurt Money and Kateline are on the case! Listen to this ep and find out for yourself if Kouri Richins should be credited with inventing the grief genre. Then come back in 2 weeks, when Kateline will be back from her cell phone expert testimony and we talk about the REAL season premiere of Season 32 of Dateline.

7. The Streets of Laredo (S31E36)
Is this the premiere episode of Season 32? Or the belated finale of Season 31? According to K$ sources it's the belated finale which is...odd, but also very on brand for the "we do what we want when we wanna" attitude that Dateline has earned over the last 30 years of being the best. This episode is called "The Streets of Laredo," and as JMank will tell you authors write scary stories about murders on suburban streets that Dateline also covers. The point is, the Mank sells it. Sit back and listen as Kateline takes some SCOLDING HOT SHOTS at the quality of this episode and the valiant Kurt Money comes to the show's defense as always. Also, Kurt Money would like to apologize to The 'Burbs, Joe Dante and to those in the know who celebrate TBITBOAT* that he is incredibly sorry for failing to figure out until just now as he writes these words you read that hes sounding out with his lips: the clear connection between this episode of Dateline and the greatest film of all time, The 'Burbs, is that murder comes to roost in your typical American suburb. Duh, dude. That's day one stuff. (*The 'Burbs Is The Best Of All Time)

6. She Never Left (S27E40)
January 1992. Bonnie Haim disappeared from Jacksonville, FL, never to be seen again. Her dingus husband Mike swore for 20 years that she just up and ran off and no way is she murdered. Then Bonnie's son finds what he thinks is a coconut buried in the backyard...ut coconuts don't have teeth, do they? Enjoy this FROM THE VAULT™ episode of I'm Lester Holt as Kurt Money and Kateline breakdown this Dennis Murphy classic from 2019. Kurt Money believes there is a huge miscarriage of justice with this case and he's fired up about it. Bonnie Haim got the Unsolved Mysteries treatment TWICE, now it's Dateline's turn. Enjoy this episode but not before determining HOW daddy hurt mommy and if feelings were involved. Also Stephanie hates earthquakes and a busy Danny Tanner on Full House! Can't forget that pops up, too.

5. The Secret Keepers (S27E44)
There won't be a new episode of Dateline until September 29th apparently, so we hope you like vaults and episodes that are from there. This week FROM THE VAULT™ episode we're looking at is The Secret Keepers with Keith Morrison. This is the very first KM episode for Kurt Money and Kateline and their excitement for the OG of Dateline hosts is palpable. Give it a listen! IMDB description...When the death of a 59-year-old father is found to be unrelated to his ongoing health issues, police begin an investigation and question some of his family members. This episode originally aired July 8th, 2019, even if Kurt Money says July 18th in the recording. He's a dummy.
