Hidden True Crime's Dateline experience
🕑 Added 2021-11-12 22:04:48 +0000 UTCHello friends,
John and I are excited and nervous for Dateline's episode tonight, and we wanted to share a bit of our thoughts before it aired on this Patreon-only podcast.
We plan to go live after it ends on YouTube tonight, but won't be promoting it. Just know if you want to jump on, we might show up 15 minutes or so after the show ends pacific time. It'll be late, but we want to hear our viewers reactions and thoughts.
John won't be watching, so I'll be heading to my in-laws house to watch with them. No live streaming, because we just don't think it's possible.
For our overseas listeners, we've tried to find a list of ways you can watch. Our biggest tip: Google VPN's. I also found this website with some tips: https://www.screenbinge.com/channels/nbc/

I thought you meant the other quote attributed to Churchill: “If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
Connie Holden
You did so well, Lauren!
TJ
I guess it’s a REALLY good thing Dr.John isn’t a Proctologist!
Kathryn Spence
Let me ask you this. She claims she is an energy healer…why then does she need surgery. Can’t she just heal herself? Let that be the ultimate proof of her “power”. Why is she relying on someone else to cut her open and do surgery to her. Doesn’t she have faith in her own abilities? I have no faith her her major BS she spreads but shouldn’t she show HER FAITH to her followers.

Let's DO THE MATH, 4 = JOHN, = listen to him ... that doesn't sound good for Julie who = 5, which is why she needs to PORTAL to back in time to the Garden of EDEN (4) And become ADAM = 4 to one up JOHN who is really BABE 4+4=8+2 (DR) =10 well you do the math... she just makes my head hurt... but seriously, I think this surgery has gotten her scared and she might have gotten in a fight with one of her kids and this might be a way to get her kids back b4 surgery... who knows. One things for sure, she's good at manipulation, all we can do is hope she gets help
Sharry Austin
I agree 100%.
Dal Pace
You guys are the best!

I’m not sure where to put this comment but here seems like a good place…I was going back through the podcasts and somehow I missed episode 11 tribute to Tammy, it might have been because it was the last few minutes and I was binge listening, my first go around. Lauren’s letter to Tammy s 100% shows Lauren’s heart and a bit of her story. Truth is it made me cry. Lauren often puts her heart out there but this was so special. We often talk about Dr John’s analytics and rightfully so but it’s Lauren that does the edits and it’s Lauren that give interviewers a safe place to share stories they might not otherwise. It’s Lauren who coaxes John from his shyness because she understands her husband and the value he can bring to the true crime world. For me it often starts and ends with Lauren’s precious heart. She is the mortar that holds the bricks together. Thank you, Lauren.

You guys are amazing and I'm so happy you were on dateline . I just watched it and it is by far my favorite episode regarding this case .
Sue Komernicky
Bravo to Loren & Dr John! You were the reason why I tuned into Dateline tonight! It was a great show!
Lisa
I usually don’t leave comments but I had to on this one to share this story. I saw in the community tab that you guys would be going live after the show. I didn’t know it was even on since I don’t have tv. So I turned it on and saw that you were on it. I legit screamed out loud “ITS LAUREN AND JOHN ITS LAUREN AND JOHN” my 4yr old looked at me like I’d lost my mind. I just looked at him and said… it’s fine you wouldn’t get it. Then I whispered to myself “But it’s Lauren and John” 🤣
ShaRee
I LOVED your thoughts about your past year and Dateline. Thanks for sharing your story with us!
Brian Wagner
I show up as Donald Dementia on you tube...LOL. You both are so talented and truly blend into a special set of skills that cannot be found elsewhere on social media. It will be interesting to watch the first time either of you has a chance to interview Chad or Lori. That may just happen! I watch everything you put on you tube. Congrats on getting national exposure. You both deserve it for all your hard work. In the future, I would like to hear John's take on the Rittenhouse case. There is so much injustice in that case and our scary politics has blinded America to the hate that is brewing in our young people, and those who feel that we should be at war with each other. Maybe John can speak to the sickness that comes from uncontrolled hate and cult violence. I live in Colorado and I very much followed Columbine.
CC
Wow. I hadn't noticed until you pointed that out. She certainly did! Good eye!
ShaRee
Shoot. I checked my email too late. Lauren, did you and Dr. John notice Melani’s demeanor change after being told she was going to be arrested? All of a sudden she is incapable of knowing what to do with her papers. I don’t know why that stood out to me. But she was so bold in Brandon’s parents’ yard talking to police then became helpless later.
Emily Lou
I liked the rings, too. LOL!
Janice Winch
Thank you so much for your comments on the after show, and so proud to be ‘the good Janice’!!! Hope to be able to see Dateline somehow soon here in England.
Emily Lou
You did a great job! Watching the “aftershow” now. Please feel free to use “Babe” all you want - or the stage name! It’s all good!
Tamara Wakeman Sukohl
The two of you are so genuine, it’s refreshing. I caught the landlord saying Chad’s Real Wife too, I got a giggle about that. I bet Julie Rowe knows who Lauren Mathias is now. Maybe you can finally get that interview with her.
Lauri Bolland
It must be so difficult for an introvert intellectual to be able to translate that to media, but I think Lauren’s professional and skilled approach to the pod and YT channel really smoothed that path for Dr John in such a powerful way. Such a great team these two people are! M so proud to be part of your patreon!
Lauri Bolland
I cheered and startled my husband when he said it!!
Lauri Bolland
Personally, I loved their rings, 😆 But I’m kinda woo woo myself. Has anyone asked about 🥚 🥚 EGGS yet? I’d like to hear more thoughts on that. Thanks!!!
Cynthia Carter
Just so impressed with the interview . After you guys get some sleep would love to hear parts of the interview that you feel they left out or things you wished they had shared . BTW watched the aftershow and love the "babe" thing you know some people can pound sand if they don't like authenticity because you guys have it 100%. You are my favorite couple to watch and I have to tell you why. There is so much admiration and respect you have for one another. It just shines through. I watched some of the Daybell episodes and the one where Dr. John is talking about hiking with that darling little son and thinking about life just pounded my heart. Also I love Dr. John's wedding ring . Don't ever let the ugly in the world spoil the beauty inside you guys. You have what the uglies can only ever dream could exist. OH and Lauren I ordered the Venus fly trap mug for my teen age daughter. You are an outstanding role model for her.
Karin Baird
Thanks Lauren & dr.Babe😁 We are in Sweden so will try your tips. Keep up the absolutely awesome work. You two rock!!!
Dawnajq
Just finished watching. You both were awesome
Elizabeth Nesbitt
So thankful you started your podcast and for the expertise both of you have brought to the (dining room) table. Missed the live Dateline and eagerly waiting to see it. You are both warm and lovely people, so genuine, so gracious and thoughtful. <3
Roberta S Treacy
You have earned your success. Congratulations and thanks 😊
Denise Blodgett
I'm so glad you two started your HTC podcast! You guys were great tonight. I bet you will have a ton of new followers!
Toni Quilico-Kriebel
You guys did GREAT!!!! You made me giggle a few times and you were cute together! 😊
TriciaTheTrucker
You both did a great job on Dateline!!! It just finished here where I live. I can't wait to hear about your experience!
Rwdsklr
Lori and John you were great on Dateline. John looks very much in his element on National TV. I hope he does watch it; he did a great job; you both did. Obviously you both must now realize that you are off Chad & Lori’s list of the 144k…
RobynB
OMG…Keith Morrison is giving you guys TONS of exposure and he said “loin fire”. I am rolling around on my couch laughing. I’m so damn happy for you guys, you do such great work and I can only imagine how many lives can potentially be saved by the education Dr John provides. This is good stuff, guys!! 🙌
Jana Rodgers
I broke down and paid for YouTube TV so I could watch live. Y'all are figuring prominently (well deserved) and doing a great job!
Lauren
This is great! You two are all over the episode and are wonderful!
tora Johns
Downloaded the link, paid for the vpn and still can't watch as it says 'not available on your country' 😣😣😣. Thought we'd left the EU now so why we still have to go with their laws over this is beyond me.
Connie Holden
I’ve just found you, but I am totally enamored w both of you and everything you say!!
Lauren and John Matthias
This means a lot to us. Thank you Katie.
Georgia
Congratulations to two precious people. You will no doubt have many more opportunities. You are trusted because you treat everyone with respect. And Dr J - you are gifted in public speaking - see yourself through our eyes. You will be very impressed! ❤️
Lori
When I found out you two would be on Dateline I squealed and exclaimed to my fiancé “oh those are my friends!” Because after all this time, listening to you both, learning, laughing and crying with you, that’s how this feels. Sharing your collective knowledge and experience in these horrific cases, plus sharing your real life ups and downs has built something of a friendship (one sided though it may be). This community you’ve built cheers for you and the amazing things that are still in store ❤️
Janita Coombs
Or have you record his reactions for us.
Katie Marlowe
Thank you for sharing this moment with us. I would imagine that a nod from Dateline would serve to validate the work you’ve been doing. Even though we all tell you how much we appreciate your content in the comments, it never really feels adequate. But, I remember, after the very first listen of your very first podcast, thinking that Hidden: True Crime was exceptional. Now, it’s only gotten better, and in getting to know you through the “lives” on YouTube, and through Patreon, I am convinced that you two as a team have something truly special. Keep doing what you’re doing, and never, never, never give up. We’re all cheering for you. ☺️
Janita Coombs
I need to say I'd LOVE to watch the Bachelor/Bachelorette with Dr John! :D
Erica A. Zwick
I have learned so much about myself from listening to Dr. John talk about psychopaths. JUST KIDDING! But I truly have learned a lot about myself listening to Dr. John. I also agree with him about Lori and Chad's personality and character. People do not become who they are in a vacuum. I do not remember how I found your podcast/website but I am so happy I did. And, of course, the Good Lori's legal analysis. Best wishes always.
Marcella Able
😂 Loinfire
Kristina Westbrook
I am excited for both of you that you got to participate in Dateline. You will be an asset. I also want to say thank you to Dr. John for trusting us and being willing to share his struggles during the pandemic. Illness, job loss, and depression are a hard combo to handle. I am glad Dr. john is will and able to share his knowledge with us during his difficulties and that Lauren is able to be your ballasting support.
Marcella Able
I love listening you two. You guys have the best sense of humor. So proud of you two for making it on Dateline.
Janice Winch
Sorry didn’t know how to reply specifically to your question!
Janice Winch
Hi Lauren-of course you can share-don’t mind if you use my name. Very honoured, and I can’t believe what a difference this information has made. Just give Dr John a hug from me!!!!
Melanee Evans
Of course, Lauren. Anytime, and feel free to use my name.
Lauren and John Matthias
haha--we love it!
Lauren and John Matthias
Melanee, would you mind if we shared this after the show on YouTube? with or without your name?
Lauren and John Matthias
Janice, Dr. John would like to know if we could share your comment tonight on YT after the show (with or without your name). It really touched us.
Katie Marlowe
Woohoo! We are all thrilled for you two! And, Lauren, Kieth Morrison is my favorite, too. Is he as likable in person as he seems on the tube?
Kristina Westbrook
You should totally do a bachelorette recap.
CuriousCat
So happy for the both of you. My family has been put on notice that the Dateline time block for this Friday is not to be disturbed for any reason. Needless to say, they don’t follow true crime, but they know Lauren and Dr. John. Best wishes for your health and future success. Good things will follow.
Nora Ann
So excited!! You guys are the best! It would be great if you two got to host a weekly TV on crime!!
Janice Winch
So pleased for you and -yes! Saw you on the trailer! Don’t know whether this is a sensible place to say this but I have been listening to your earlier podcasts about Chad being lost as a child etc; Dr John you have made me feel so much better after your explanation about being neglected as a baby-I was born in the 50’s in an orphanage in Liverpool and was adopted at 6 months by my amazing new parents. They always said they loved me so much and I was so special but my feelings of emptiness, worthlessness and depression have never really gone away. But because of my lovely adoptive parents I grew up ok and became a successful lawyer and thanks to Dr John’s explanation of Chad (?!!) I now understand why I still struggle. I just want you to know that you have made a huge difference in my life even though I’m in my 60’s. I don’t think you will ever know how many people you help. With love to you and your family, and all at HTC!
Melanee Evans
I realize that the word authenticity is a bit “new agey” as Dr. John would say, but it’s one of the primary ingredients in your recipe for why I keep coming back. Thank you for sharing your sincere struggles with us, and for letting us celebrate this very fun and exciting moment in your lives. Like you’ve shared since the first podcast episode, “it’s ok to be human.” At least that’s a lesson I’ve learned over time that has helped me immensely with my own mental health and enjoyment of life. Sending a huge bouquet of love to your family, and our entire HTC community tonight!
Tamara Wakeman Sukohl
I am looking forward to tonight! The two of you are amazing and deserve to be recognized. Thank you for all of your hard work.
Jennifer-Anne Hunter
You deserve this soooooo much. I appreciate your incite and analytical. Hugs and healing for all your family, especially you Dr John. You have helped a lot this year, I would go for walks and listen to yourselves, just to get out of the house. So thank you. I really do hope you got Keith to say loinfire, that would hilarious. I love his voice. Congratulations. Xx
Emily Lou
Can’t wait!
Lauri Bolland
I can't wait! I'm so happy for Lauren and Dr John, and I'm also so proud of you both! It's lovely to have a small part in exposing this particular situation. Congratulations!
Jennifer Priebe
Big congrats! I am confident you will have your own network show in the future.
TriciaTheTrucker
I'm so excited! When I saw the trailer, I was like.... Wait! That's Dr. John!!!!
Alicia Madsen
So awesome I hope you got paid and got a nice dinner
Stacie
I’m going to go ahead request a bonus watch-along of The Bachelor with Dr. John! 😂 You could make it for the highest Patreon level. Congratulations both of you. You deserve it!
Melinda Ngawaka
Can’t wait!! Just the coolest!👏
Lauren and John Matthias
😂😂😂
Shannon Moak
Can’t wait!!! Congratulations!
CuriousinColorado
What a fun surprise! Here is a question you can answer… so was that REALLY Kieth Morrison interviewing Dr John, or was it Dr John posing as Keith Morrison? I have a tough time telling them apart!
Evelyn Yallen
So happy for you both!!! Can’t wait to see it.
Kelli Janssen
Congratulations! I’m sure that was a fascinating experience.
