Description

*Note: This episode was recorded prior to the news of Olivia Newton-John's passing, which is why her death is not acknowledged in the episode.

This one is a real head-scratcher. In 2005 Patrick McDermott - the on-again, off-again boyfriend of Olivia Newton-John - boarded a sportfishing boat along with twenty-two other passengers. When the boat returned the next day it was unclear whether or not he was still on it. Did Patrick go overboard without anyone noticing, or he is living a whole-ass other life down in Mexico sippin' on mango margaritas, as some witnesses claim? Let's dive in, misfits.
