<v Speaker 1>last week.

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 5>Min Norna had a wooden chest or trunk that used

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 5>to sit at the end of her bed, like any

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 5>good Italian woman does. She'd blined the bottomless newspaper. And

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:48.639
<v Speaker 5>so when I got the chest, pulled the newspaper out

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:50.839
<v Speaker 5>and I thought, oh, what's on? It was the Sun's

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 5>Birth and guest Notices. I looked at the date and

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 5>it was October twenty fifth, nineteen eighty, and I thought,

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 5>that's the day after my husband David was born. And

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 5>I switched it over and in my on his chest

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 5>was my husband's birth notice from nineteen eighty.

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Wow, all right, lines are up and now nine four

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:08.680

<v Speaker 1>You're first up. Good morning, Claire.

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 6>Hi there, Christian, how are you.

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm good? What are.

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 5>The odds of?

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 6>We were away on holidays in Monkey Mayer, which is

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 6>remote Western Australia, and there's nothing around except the accommodation

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.960
<v Speaker 6>where you can stay, and we were just lacing by

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 6>the pool and my partner asked me if I happened

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 6>to pack nail clippers, and I said, oh, no, I didn't,

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 6>and he's like, oh, okay. Anyway, he walked over to

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 6>one of the ledges that was near the pool that

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 6>overhooked a bar, and he was hobbing around there for

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 6>a little bit, and then he came back and he goes,

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 6>just go and have a look at what's on that

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 6>ledge over there. So I went over and had a

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 6>look and there's a pair of nail clippers. He'd been

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 6>standing there doing his nails, so he asked for it.

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 3>That came.

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Just what, I mean, one of the most powerful stories

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:12.920
<v Speaker 2>of manifestation I've ever heard. Yeah, he was looking for

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 2>now clippers and then that ledge.

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>So legendary story about ledge. Thank you very much for

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>calling Claire. You're welcome, thank thank you, thank you. We

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>are welcome.

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 2>And the voice over guy said, these stories were and

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 2>un quote unmiscible. Yeah, Evan, please, Evan, dear Evan, Evan above,

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 2>please help us. All right, Evan, what have you got then?

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Your story of coincidence and chance?

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>What are the odds you got it? Buddy? Yeah? So

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Bet a year ago.

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 7>I was working in a paintball joint as a referee,

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 7>and I hosted this guy's party. He was great, and

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 7>then after all that was I thought, Okay, no worries.

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 7>And then about a year later, he comes into the

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 7>pub that I'm working at, drinking with his mates. I'm thinking,

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.639
<v Speaker 7>what are the odds that this guy's here at my

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 7>new workplace?

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 3>And then a.

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 7>Couple of months later I started working at auto Barn

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 7>and ended up selling him parts through his car or

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 7>just whatever he happened to be buying that day. It

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 7>was just three different jobs.

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Wow, what are the odds? Third times a chance?

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 2>There suddenly a paintball lampire's there, he's in the park.

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:24.239
<v Speaker 1>But now autobarn.

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:32.359
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and these are these are aren't like close locations either. Yeah,

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 7>that does make it more interesting if they're all on

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 7>a small shopping stair and a small town of a

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 7>thousand people.

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>What are the odds? That's a good one, Evan, thank

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you very much.

<v Speaker 2>same suburb at us on the chair lift going up

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.280

<v Speaker 8>traveling up to the top of Scotland. Place called Thuso.

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.960

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 8>the lady said, oh, you're from Australia. I said, yes,

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.839
<v Speaker 8>we are. She said, oh, my sisters from Australia haven't

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:53.119
<v Speaker 8>seen her in many, many years. I said where she lives.

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 8>She said, oh, you won't know. The place. It's a

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.839
<v Speaker 8>little place called Arthur's Seat. So you've got a couple

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 8>of streets and I said Nettle or Windward Court. She said,

<v Speaker 8>win we're Court. Why do you know? I said what number?

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.320

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 3>and I noticed her birthday was the same as my birthday.

0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 3>And I said, I what a good day. But she's

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 3>thirty years older than me. And then her husband said

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 3>to me, what about and he said his birthday? And

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 3>I said, oh, that's a really good day. That's my

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.200
<v Speaker 3>husband's birthday. That's thirty years exactly more than my husband.

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 3>And then she had two sons and they were all

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 3>thirty years the same birthdays as my two sons, thirty

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 3>years apart.

<v Speaker 1>Amazing one final one. Tanya, good morning, Welcome to the show.

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 10>Good morning, how are you.

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm very good and I understand this involves a jacket?

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 10>It does? It does. At the age of eight, I

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 10>found a Calton blue jacket whilst working with my parents,

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 10>like after school and helping him out. It was a

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.839
<v Speaker 10>men's extra large. It didn't fit me, so I gave

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 10>it to one of her workers for employees, and he said,

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 10>when you're older, I'll find you and give it back

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 10>to you when it fits you. Fast forward, I'm at

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 10>the age of twenty three, working behind a bar talking

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.199
<v Speaker 10>to a man in a Culton blue jacket. It was

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 10>like telling him this story about what I found when

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 10>I was eight, and it turned out it was him.

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 10>He went home, got the jacket and gave it back

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 10>to me.

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Amazing. I love these stories, just the last couple. They're amazing,

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>aren't they.

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:07.360
