00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 5: Min Norna had a wooden chest or trunk that used

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 5: to sit at the end of her bed, like any

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 5: good Italian woman does. She'd blined the bottomless newspaper. And

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 5: so when I got the chest, pulled the newspaper out

17
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 5: and I thought, oh, what's on? It was the Sun's

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 5: Birth and guest Notices. I looked at the date and

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 5: it was October twenty fifth, nineteen eighty, and I thought,

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 5: that's the day after my husband David was born. And

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 5: I switched it over and in my on his chest

22
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 5: was my husband's birth notice from nineteen eighty.

23
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,680

Speaker 5: The odds of?

29
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 6: We were away on holidays in Monkey Mayer, which is

30
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 6: remote Western Australia, and there's nothing around except the accommodation

31
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 6: where you can stay, and we were just lacing by

32
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 6: the pool and my partner asked me if I happened

33
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 6: to pack nail clippers, and I said, oh, no, I didn't,

34
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 6: and he's like, oh, okay. Anyway, he walked over to

35
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 6: one of the ledges that was near the pool that

36
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 6: overhooked a bar, and he was hobbing around there for

37
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 6: a little bit, and then he came back and he goes,

38
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 6: just go and have a look at what's on that

39
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 6: ledge over there. So I went over and had a

40
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 6: look and there's a pair of nail clippers. He'd been

41
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 6: standing there doing his nails, so he asked for it.

42
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: That came.

43
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: Just what, I mean, one of the most powerful stories

44
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: of manifestation I've ever heard. Yeah, he was looking for

45
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: now clippers and then that ledge.

46
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: So legendary story about ledge. Thank you very much for

Speaker 2: un quote unmiscible. Yeah, Evan, please, Evan, dear Evan, Evan above,

51
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: please help us. All right, Evan, what have you got then?

52
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: Your story of coincidence and chance?

53
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: What are the odds you got it? Buddy? Yeah? So

54
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: Bet a year ago.

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 7: I was working in a paintball joint as a referee,

56
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 7: and I hosted this guy's party. He was great, and

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 7: then after all that was I thought, Okay, no worries.

58
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 7: And then about a year later, he comes into the

59
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 7: pub that I'm working at, drinking with his mates. I'm thinking,

60
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 7: what are the odds that this guy's here at my

61
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 7: new workplace?

62
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: And then a.

63
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 7: Couple of months later I started working at auto Barn

64
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 7: and ended up selling him parts through his car or

65
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 7: just whatever he happened to be buying that day. It

66
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 7: was just three different jobs.

67
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: Wow, what are the odds? Third times a chance?

68
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: There suddenly a paintball lampire's there, he's in the park.

69
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: But now autobarn.

70
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, and these are these are aren't like close locations either. Yeah,

71
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 7: that does make it more interesting if they're all on

72
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 7: a small shopping stair and a small town of a

73
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 7: thousand people.

74
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,360

116
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 8: In Scotland back in the mid nineties and we were

117
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 8: traveling up to the top of Scotland. Place called Thuso.

118
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 8: There's a little milk bar there. We walked in and

119
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 8: the lady said, oh, you're from Australia. I said, yes,

120
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 8: we are. She said, oh, my sisters from Australia haven't

121
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 8: seen her in many, many years. I said where she lives.

122
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 8: She said, oh, you won't know. The place. It's a

123
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 8: little place called Arthur's Seat. So you've got a couple

124
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 8: of streets and I said Nettle or Windward Court. She said,

147
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: a connection to Arthur's C and Nestle Court. My sister

148
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: used to live at number twelve, so he was talking

149
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: about number four, number eight. I think we've almost completed

Speaker 4: the moment is really into eighties music. So a couple

157
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: of weeks ago, I was driving him to daycare. When

158
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 4: he we're in the car with him, he's the DJ, right,

Speaker 10: Good morning, how are you.

199
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm very good and I understand this involves a jacket?

200
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 10: It does? It does. At the age of eight, I

201
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 10: found a Calton blue jacket whilst working with my parents,

202
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 10: like after school and helping him out. It was a

203
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 10: men's extra large. It didn't fit me, so I gave

204
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 10: it to one of her workers for employees, and he said,

205
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 10: when you're older, I'll find you and give it back

206
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 10: to you when it fits you. Fast forward, I'm at

207
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 10: the age of twenty three, working behind a bar talking

208
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 10: to a man in a Culton blue jacket. It was

209
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 10: like telling him this story about what I found when

210
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 10: I was eight, and it turned out it was him.

211
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 10: He went home, got the jacket and gave it back

212
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 10: to me.

213
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: Amazing. I love these stories, just the last couple. They're amazing,

214
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,040
