The Eastlake Conspiracy S.29 Ep.18

It’s A Date With Dateline’s 200th episode! We think! Maybe? It’s possible! We lost track of a few. But we think this is it. So thank you to all of you for making this possible, every one of you that’s listened, downloaded, left us a review on Apple Podcasts, and told a friend. And especially to our Patreons, whose generosity makes this podcast free for everyone and are the reason we’ve been going for 200 episodes of brilliant puns, horrible puns, and equally divisive facial hair choices. 200 episodes of Bags of Wieners, Becky’s Proteges, and FB-Eye Candy!  And a big thank you to everyone who’s helped us along the way, Sean G for starting the listener Facebook group A Double Date with Dateline, Grace our web designer, Liv for contributing to the website, Sera and Chelsea our graphics designers, Julie and Bridget for the t-shirt designs, and Adam our fantastic editor. We’d love to have even more of you get involved next year! Let us know if you have a t shirt design or want to add to our website! And thank you to all of you OG LISTENERS who have been with us since 2017! We see you and we love you! Most of all, thank you to Dateline for allowing us to hang on their coattails without ever sending the cease and desist letter that’s been sitting on their desk for years now. We love you so much, not just for the amazing tv show, but for the community of viewers you’ve created! In this very special 200th episode of ADWD, a man reconnects with an old classmate on Facebook and finds himself involved in a murder for hire plot. Andrea takes us on a dramatic journey where a man’s life is on the line, and thus Kimberly and Katie are taking it very seriously by discussing if waitresses at The Captain’s Club wear pirate uniforms and pontificating for probably too long on one of the worst photoshopped photos in the history of Dateline. Also stay tuned to the end of the episode to find out how Kimberly got #whammed by a listener and has lost all trust in humankind. Don’t forget to press record on this episode of Dateline because that would be really dumb. God bless and have fun with THE EASTLAKE CONSPIRACY!  Official Description from NBCU: When an Eastlake, Ohio resident is offered $50,000 to kill someone, he calls the police. Acting quickly, investigators set up an elaborate sting operation. Andrea Canning reports. This episode is dedicated to Patrons and the new owners of The Captain’s Club, Stacy F. And Nicole B.!
