In January 1998, U.S. couple Eileen and Tom Lonergan were fulfilling a lifelong dream of scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef.

The pair were excited as they joined 24 other thrill seekers and boarded the fully staffed boat run by dive company, Outer Edge. The plan was to visit three dive sites and then return to the beautiful town of Port Douglas in Far North Queensland.

But as they emerged from their third dive of they day, Eileen and Tom's dream trip quickly became a living nightmare as they realised their entire dive group, including the boat, were gone. And they were left alone in the middle of the ocean, praying someone would come for them.

This week, we chat filthy schoolbags, manky cars and the weird decisions we make that wind up making our lives harder. That's before Monty interrupts the podcast with a sound that... look, you'll just have to listen. Promise you won't miss it.

We've also got a special guest... our favourite mince-loving partner-in-crime, Stace, and she has a cracking app recommendation for us. Monty's bad accents strike again and Mel has a theory about men who are extra passionate about sport. Enjoy!

In 1957, a guy named Burt spots a gal named Linda sitting on a park bench… and his first thought is, “I’ve gotta have her.”

And so, the love-bombing begins. And Burt and Linda start hanging out and eventually, they start talking about stuff like marriage, and their future together.

And then, Linda finds out that he’s a dirty rat. And she leaves.

But, old Burt couldn’t handle this… and he starts to spiral; ultimately deciding to punish Linda for leaving. And the only thing that rivals the shocking lengths this scumbag goes to, is the VERY sharp turn this story takes.

Strap in for the ‘anti-love’ story of Burt and Linda Pugach.

WARNING: This episode deals with the subject of intimate partner violence and contains themes of suicide.
