3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: become an occurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: That's what we're looking for today. What are the odds, Christian?

5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: I got one for you.

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: Shopping at Cole's two weeks ago.

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 3: Yah.

00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, shopping at Coles two weeks ago, found a box

9
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: of cheesels. Already this has shaping up to me one

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: of the greatest stories ever told. Shopping at Cole's two

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: weeks ago, a founder box of cheesels that was sealed.

12
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, and get ready, what are the odds? Sealed yet empty?

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: Come on?

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: What?

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 4: No?

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: No, no, no, what are the odds?

17
00:00:59,160 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 5: Very unlikely?

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: It doesn't stop there. What a time she had? What

19
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: a time she had? And then went picked up a

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: chocolate bunny and the wrapping was on sideways. Then I

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: got home.

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 5: She wasn't just going through the bins at the back.

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 2: Then I got home and found the icy pole called

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 2: Twins that should have had two icy pole sticks intact.

25
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: Only had one.

26
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 6: Going on.

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: Embracing my own account, and I took photos and sent

28
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: emails to respective companies that resulted in three complimentary gift cards.

29
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: What are the odds naturally bought? Remarkable?

30
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: Remarkable goings on in Shenanigan's you strike me as someone

31
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: that has a lot of stories that they believe to

32
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: be remarkable coincidences.

33
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I can't think of any coincidences. There was

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 6: a girl once I wish.

35
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: The centered around supermarts, a gift.

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 5: Shot might being.

37
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 6: I was by a gift for someone and there was

Speaker 5: She said, she's really cute.

41
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 6: What's her name? And I said her name's Audrey. And

42
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 6: she said, oh, my name was I.

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 5: Was going to call so bad.

44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: I was going to be called Audrey. She wasn't even

45
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: called Audrey.

46
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 5: It's not even worth saying. If the lady behind the

47
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 5: cattle was Audrey.

48
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 6: And I said, oh, I said what is your name?

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 6: And she goes, my name is Ruby. And I said,

50
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 6: well that's funny because she was it was going to

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 6: be Audrey or Ruby. And then she goes, and my

52
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 6: second name is May. And I said, you don't say Audrey.

53
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 5: Was going to be Ruby.

54
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: Maybe actually go to me. You don't say, Wow, my

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: fair lady.

56
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 5: What are the odds?

57
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 7: Great segment names, But you don't say maybe even better,

58
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 7: I'll say, let's go to Gary.

59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: What are the odds. I'm actually a twin. My Auntner Expounder,

60
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: was a twin, and I have twin daughters. I'm a

61
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: Gemini and both my next door neighbors when I was

62
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 3: growing up with both twins.

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: You are surrounded by a twin world.

64
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: Certainly, am twin power activated.

65
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: Another feature name twin power Activity.

66
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 5: But Gary, is it more likely you have twins when

67
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 5: you are a twin?

68
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 3: No, I have had twins. I've got twin daughters.

69
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, And now that's what I'm saying.

70
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 7: I think a twin is more likely to have twins

71
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 7: when they give birth more than lightly.

72
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: And when they went to primary school. They are actually

73
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: in the local paper that there was actually eight sets

74
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: of twins when they started primary.

75
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: School in the same year or just in that little school.

76
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 8: When I started.

77
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: When I started primary school, there was eight sets of

78
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: twins and they made it into the local paper and

79
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 3: they ended up having twin boyfriends in primary school.

80
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: Wow, Gary, thank you very much. What are the odds.

81

Speaker 5: called Jody.

90
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,159

128
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 2: twenty third of the seventh, Bingo, Christian. One of the odds,

00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,800

Speaker 1: This is incredible.

131
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: My grandfather's car was stolen from a shopping center at Christmas,

132
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: then a few days later was left outside by Auntie's house.

133
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: Turns out the people that stole it lived around the

134
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 2: corner from her and had parked the car there to

135
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: avoid parking outside their own home. We're dinner with master

136
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: criminals here, not knowing it was parks outside the daughter

137
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:53,760

Speaker 2: What are the odds, Cassie, That's genuinely a great one.

140
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: Let's get a Maggie now, guys, what the odds?

141
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 8: My parents sent me a birthday card one year and

142
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 8: they've been separated since I was like four years old,

143
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 8: and it was the same card.

144
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: Wow, that is pretty incredible.

145
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 8: What are you car? I think it's really because they

146
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 8: haven't spoken to each other for that long.

147
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: Wowson, I love that, Maggie. William, Thank god.

149
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 9: clubs a couple of years ago through a gum tree

150
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 9: in my local area. I was selling them, which the

151
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 9: clubs that I actually wanted was the same name as me.

156
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: the bill?

157
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:51,800
