Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, it's Lucky Dip Day with
Speaker 1: now Mountain's days.
Speaker 2: MMS. That was a security company, wasn't it. MMS.
Speaker 1: It's my husband's initials.
Speaker 2: That's what that is.
Speaker 1: Oh, what's his middle name? Michael Maxwell, Michael Ah Sullivan.
Speaker 2: Yep, MMS. I like it rolls off the tongue.
Speaker 1: Actually it's Max as well. Is it your youngest.
Speaker 2: Small Lane Sullivan? Good?
Speaker 1: What a coincident, skies.
Speaker 2: That's freaky boring. Well, if this was not meant to be,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: What was shot to start a.
Speaker 2: Okay, my lucky Dip today. This is fascinating. So you know,
Speaker 2: Friday the thirteenth is like a weird date. People of
Speaker 2: their superstitious about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why the number Thirteens are very superstitious number two.
Speaker 2: Yes, well I'm about to tell you why. Okay, it's
Speaker 2: an actual phobia. It's called I'm going to mispronounce this.
Speaker 2: It's called trick cedeca phobia. Someone who's phobic around the
Speaker 2: number thirteen. There are some different trains of thought about
Speaker 2: the origins, but number one is that the number twelve,
Speaker 2: which is my favorite number, is believed to be the
Speaker 2: perfect number. Like there's twelve months of the year, twelve
Speaker 2: zodiac signs, twelve days of Christmas. But they think that
Speaker 2: beyond that, the next number is unlucky because twelve is
Speaker 2: so perfect, the next number is unlucky. Then they also
Speaker 2: believe that one of the world's oldest legal documents, right
Speaker 2: from like I don't know, seventeen fifty BC or something,
Speaker 2: there was like a clerical error and the thirteenth Law
Speaker 2: was left out, so there was some curse around that.
Speaker 2: But also, you know, Jesus had twelve apostles apostles, and
Speaker 2: you know the last apostles, right, Like.
Speaker 1: What's the apostle? I only know on the Great Ocean
Speaker 1: Road in Victoria.
Speaker 2: Apostles it's like his gangs, like his people that were
Speaker 2: there whatever, And you know he had the Last Supper. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Judas was like the twelfth Apostle or whatever, so that
Speaker 2: he was the thirteenth person there, and he's the person
Speaker 2: that betrayed Jesus, right Judas. Okay, so weird, some weird origins,
Speaker 2: but some weird shits happened on Friday the thirteenth. I'm
Speaker 2: going to go through a couple of them with you.
Speaker 2: Do you remember the movie Alive and yes, right, yes,
Speaker 2: so they.
Speaker 1: Were the soccer plane crashed in the andes they ate
Speaker 1: each other.
Speaker 2: Yes, there is, because that is that's really come back
Speaker 2: because there's a Netflix show about it called Something of
Speaker 2: the Snow anyway, but it's like a remake of it.
Speaker 2: So a lot of the survivors have done interviews and
Speaker 2: there is one on lad Bible that is so mesmerizing
Speaker 2: to watch. It is one of the guys talking about
Speaker 2: exactly what happened. So he was saying, as the plane
Speaker 2: was going down, it had broken apart. They were all Catholic, right,
Speaker 2: so in his head he thought, I'm going to start praying,
Speaker 2: and he wanted to do the Our Father, which is
Speaker 2: a prayer, and he's like, it's too long. I'm going
Speaker 2: to do the Hail Mary, which is shorter. He said,
Speaker 2: by the time he started the Hail Mary, in his mind,
Speaker 2: he finished it just as the plane had come to
Speaker 2: a stop. It happened like that quick. But he said,
Speaker 2: the level of consciousness you have in that moment and
Speaker 2: how fast it happens, but how slow it happens at
Speaker 2: the same time, and the really big fucking takeaway it's
Speaker 2: so incredible is that he was saying everyone talks about
Speaker 2: our story, like they refer to the cannibalism side.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. I just remember them meeting the bum bum.
Speaker 2: He's like, I am telling you. Any person who says
Speaker 2: I would never do that, you don't know what you
Speaker 2: are capable of. He said that the pain of that
Speaker 2: sort of hunger, your body starts to eat itself from
Speaker 2: the inside. It is not a choice. Oh okay. He
Speaker 2: said they tried eating their belts because of the leather.
Speaker 2: They tried anyway, how it is so fascinating if you
Speaker 2: go to lad Bible, it's unbelievable. And he said, nobody
Speaker 2: talks about the other shit that we did, Like who
Speaker 2: knows you can't eat ice like ice in the andes
Speaker 2: ice I correct that hydrate you because your body has
Speaker 2: to convert it, like melt it and convert it so
Speaker 2: that uses energy. So you've got to melt it first
Speaker 2: before you can drink it or else it sort of
Speaker 2: dehydrates you.
Speaker 1: But they wouldn't have been able to melt it. How
Speaker 1: they know they did, That's what I'm saying. It was
Speaker 1: like he talks about like they were all given duties
Speaker 1: and then they would take like one of them took
Speaker 1: metal from the fuselage and would put the ice in
Speaker 1: it so in the sun it would melt, and then
Speaker 1: he made a contraption out of it. They used like
Speaker 1: parts from something on the plane, and they made sunglasses
Speaker 1: because the snow was so bright it was like blinding them.
Speaker 1: They would take like the covers off the seats and
Speaker 1: make shoes like it was so crafty. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable, but a very long winded way of saying that.
Speaker 2: That happened on Friday October thirteenth, nineteen seventy two. On
Speaker 2: that same day, Friday, October thirteenth, nineteen seventy two, in Russia,
Speaker 2: an Aeroflot flight with one hundred and seventy four people
Speaker 2: on board, Like I don't note overshot the runway or something.
Speaker 2: Everyone was killed. In Moscow same day, on Friday, August thirteenth,
Speaker 2: twenty ten, a thirteen year old boy was struck by lightning.
Speaker 2: The lightning hit at one thirteen PM, which is thirteen thirteen,
Speaker 2: like you know on the military clock or whatever. He
Speaker 2: survived unharmed, though, so you know, shit, but also a miracle, okay.
Speaker 2: On Friday October thirteenth, nineteen eighty nine, the stock market
Speaker 2: fell six point nine one percent. I don't know what
Speaker 2: that means, but I figure it's a lot.
Speaker 1: It must be a lot.
Speaker 2: It was the second worst day in market history, especially
Speaker 2: for people who were like investing in stocks at the time.
Speaker 2: It was like a huge thing.
Speaker 1: I'd be more impressed if it was the first worst
Speaker 1: day in history.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder what the first was. Yeah, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm doing after this? On Friday, January thirteenth, twenty twelve,
Speaker 2: do you remember this Italian cruise liner called the Costa Concordia.
Speaker 2: It's a fucking like it's horrible, like thirty two people died,
Speaker 2: But the story's funny because the captain was basically like
Speaker 2: not doing what he was meant to be doing, and
Speaker 2: he had his girlfriend in the bridge with him, and
Speaker 2: it was like the Titanic. It hit something, water started
Speaker 2: filling up. He fucking jumped into a lifeboat and just
Speaker 2: you know, went to a hotel, just left everyone on board,
Speaker 2: like it was you should do that for a doozy, Yeah,
Speaker 2: definitely do that.
Speaker 1: For Where is he now? What happened to his life?
Speaker 2: I think he went to prison, but he told like
Speaker 2: he's you know, it's incredible when you see these men
Speaker 2: who were just like such little weaklings that they're weasels.
Speaker 2: They lie about shit. He said that he was trying
Speaker 2: to save people, and he fell into a lifeboat from
Speaker 2: the top of it.
Speaker 1: With his dick still attached to his girl.
Speaker 2: My god, But apparently every year the world's economy loses
Speaker 2: around nine hundred million dollars because people are afraid to
Speaker 2: work and travel on this date, especially the airline industry.
Speaker 2: No one wants to fly on Friday the thirteen. Oh
Speaker 2: now I'm not going to never thought about it.
Speaker 1: Now I will because the flights will be cheaper.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm too paranoid to mess with that. Yeah, me too,
Speaker 2: me too.
Speaker 1: Oh good, now, they were great facts. I'm fascinated. I
Speaker 1: want to go and watch that a live doc o.
Speaker 2: Now it's called something like Society of the Snow right God.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The people that were in that crash have all said
Speaker 2: it's the most accurate sort of depiction of what it
Speaker 2: was really like. Okay, the guy said, as well. He's like,
Speaker 2: you look around, he said, it's like a postcard. It's
Speaker 2: just white, snow covered mountains everywhere you look, he said,
Speaker 2: But then you realize you're in the most like a
Speaker 2: barren place. There is nothing, there's not it, there's not trees,
Speaker 2: there's no life there, there was no chance of like
Speaker 2: killing something and eating it or having a river or
Speaker 2: there was nothing but snow and mountains made.
Speaker 1: It is fascinating, so fascinating. But you know, it's all
Speaker 1: the little stories of people's Friday the thirteenth that we
Speaker 1: don't hear too.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, just the day to day Fridays thirteenth.
