  • Mackenzie Undercover: Taking out the Trash
    Sep 21 2026

    This week on The Dating Detectives, Mackenzie is going undercover with a case that starts with nothing more than a wife’s gut feeling. After 16 years of marriage, Sarah notices her husband’s work dinners, overnight trips, and phone habits suddenly starting to change, so she quietly hires Mackenzie to find out where he’s really going. What begins as routine surveillance quickly turns into a full-blown mystery involving a secluded house, a suspicious coworker, some very questionable “client dinners,” and one of the most unconventional investigative methods Mackenzie has ever used. As each tiny clue starts connecting to the next, this case becomes a perfect reminder that sometimes your femmetuition knows something long before you have the evidence to prove it.

  • The Case of the Missing Paychecks
    Sep 14 2026

    After escaping a difficult first marriage, Emmy thought she knew exactly what red flags to look for, and when she met Noah, he seemed to be everything she had been missing: loving, dependable, devoted to his family, and just as committed to building a healthy relationship as she was. But as marriage, a new baby, cross-country moves, mysterious jobs, missing paychecks, and increasingly frequent work trips begin to pile up, small inconsistencies start turning into questions Emmy can’t shake. Then, one seemingly ordinary conversation cracks open a secret she never could have imagined, and suddenly she’s forced to question just how much of the life she built with her husband was ever real.

  • The Fake Fiancé
    Sep 7 2026

    When Steph meets Logan through work, he seems perfect. He was charming, successful, financially stable, and someone she already knows and trusts long before their relationship turns romantic. Things move quickly from coworkers to serious partners, with road trips, family introductions, and wedding plans making it feel like everything has fallen perfectly into place. But as their future gets more real, small inconsistencies around money begin to snowball into questions Steph can’t ignore. This week, Mackenzie and Hanna follow a trail of financial red flags, missing answers, and increasingly elaborate explanations as Steph tries to figure out how well you can ever truly know someone—and what happens when your femmetuition starts screaming that something just isn’t adding up.

The stories these ladies cover are brilliant, and the content is flawless. However, there can be a lot of interrupting and unnecessary squealing when someone is telling their story. Quickly jumping in to clarify a point is fine, but it often follows from "WHAT?! WAIT, wait, wait, so..." and if you have ear buds in, it can often shake the ear drums. I think, if you're getting over excited about a story, just sit back from the mic a little. Otherwise, great work, keep it up!
