Happy New Year! Welcome to the first episode of 2026 where your hosts, Andrew and Michelle cover the hot topic case of the Oscar T. Flint. What makes this vessel so lit and it's not just because Michelle can't handle the heat of narrating today, that's for sure. Other than that and the seemingly random mention of goby fish, tune in for a crazy episode. Here's to 2026 and all of the new adventures and shipwrecks it'll bring us! Welcome aboard.
