  • Mackenzie Undercover: Premeditated Bologna-ing
    May 5 2025

    Mackenzie takes us back nearly twenty years to one of her very first PI cases: a bitter ex‑wife who escalates tire‑slashing and car‐keying into a downright surreal bologna‑vandalism spree—plastering her rival’s vehicle with Oscar Mayer slices in full daylight—and, most shockingly, snorting cocaine off her child’s Lisa Frank lunchbox in an elementary school parking lot. Through careful, real‑time surveillance and crystal‑clear video evidence, Mackenzie helps secure drug charges and an emergency custody injunction, protecting the kids and teaching her the hard‑won balance between caution and guts in the field. It’s a jaw‑dropping, true‑crime palette‑cleanser that proves: when it comes to family drama, you never know just how wild things can get.

  • Dressed to Deceive: The Porsche & Penthouse Scam
    Apr 21 2025

    On this week’s Dating Detectives Monday, we welcome back matrimonial attorney Leslie Barbara, and her client Allison, who share one of the most jaw‑dropping “Dogfish” scams we’ve ever seen. Allison thought she’d met a charming Scottish real‑estate developer on Hinge, only to be drawn into a web of hotel double‑charges, “escrowed” millions, vanished luggage (and credit cards), even a suspicious bout of illness, all while he convinced everyone from gym staff to Porsche dealers that he was the real deal. Together, Leslie and Allison dissect the red flags, legal pitfalls (power of attorney, anyone?), and the surprising AI sleuthing that finally unmasked him. Tune in for hard‑won lessons on spotting, stopping, and surviving romance scams—and why locking your credit (and trusting your fem‑tuition) could make all the difference.

PI Spilling the Tea??? Ummm…Yes!!!

This is so entertaining and a great listen as well. If you’re looking for something where they spill the tea with some detective work and share some dating safety tips then you’ll love this podcast.

I like it but…

I like this podcast it’s super entertaining and overall gives you lots of things to look out for. McKenzie’s PI stories are some of my favorite content for sure. What I don’t like is how the ladies, mostly Hannah, over talk guests when they are telling their stories. It can become annoying when they interject with an unnecessary“jokey comment” right in the middle of someone’s sentence. When they interject with serious questions or clarifying questions it’s fine. I think they should weigh the importance of their comments because it can be so distracting. I also don’t like their double standard. If women or someone in the LGBTQ community do something shady, they seem to make excuses for their behavior and give them a ton of grace, but if a straight man does it, he’s the worst person on earth. A liar is a liar and a cheater is a cheater, doesn’t matter what your reason is. Just my opinion. Overall I enjoy it and like the work the ladies are doing to educate us all, especially those on the dating scene.
