Speaker 1 (00:00):
Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Coincidence definition, remarkable concurrence, Oh concurrence? When does the concurrence
become an occurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.
That's what we're looking for today. What are the odds, Christian?
I got one for you.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Shopping at Cole's two weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yah.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, shopping at Coles two weeks ago, found a box
of cheesels. Already this has shaping up to me one
of the greatest stories ever told. Shopping at Cole's two
weeks ago, a founder box of cheesels that was sealed.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, and get ready, what are the odds? Sealed yet empty?
Come on?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
What?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
No, no, no, what are the odds?
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Very unlikely?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It doesn't stop there. What a time she had? What
a time she had? And then went picked up a
chocolate bunny and the wrapping was on sideways. Then I
got home.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
She wasn't just going through the bins at the back.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Then I got home and found the icy pole called
Twins that should have had two icy pole sticks intact.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Only had one.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
Going on.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Embracing my own account, and I took photos and sent
emails to respective companies that resulted in three complimentary gift cards.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
What are the odds naturally bought? Remarkable?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Remarkable goings on in Shenanigan's you strike me as someone
that has a lot of stories that they believe to
be remarkable coincidences.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Yeah, but I can't think of any coincidences. There was
a girl once I wish.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
The centered around supermarts, a gift.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Shot might being.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
I was by a gift for someone and there was
this lovely young girl and and I had Audrey was
in the pramp. She was very very young, and.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
She said, she's really cute.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
What's her name? And I said her name's Audrey. And
she said, oh, my name was I.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Was going to call so bad.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I was going to be called Audrey. She wasn't even
called Audrey.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
It's not even worth saying. If the lady behind the
cattle was Audrey.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
And I said, oh, I said what is your name?
And she goes, my name is Ruby. And I said,
well that's funny because she was it was going to
be Audrey or Ruby. And then she goes, and my
second name is May. And I said, you don't say Audrey.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Was going to be Ruby.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Maybe actually go to me. You don't say, Wow, my
fair lady.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
What are the odds?
Speaker 7 (02:48):
Great segment names, But you don't say maybe even better,
I'll say, let's go to Gary.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
What are the odds. I'm actually a twin. My Auntner Expounder,
was a twin, and I have twin daughters. I'm a
Gemini and both my next door neighbors when I was
growing up with both twins.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
You are surrounded by a twin world.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Certainly, am twin power activated.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Another feature name twin power Activity.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
But Gary, is it more likely you have twins when
you are a twin?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
No, I have had twins. I've got twin daughters.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Yeah, And now that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
I think a twin is more likely to have twins
when they give birth more than lightly.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
And when they went to primary school. They are actually
in the local paper that there was actually eight sets
of twins when they started primary.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
School in the same year or just in that little school.
Speaker 8 (03:42):
When I started.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
When I started primary school, there was eight sets of
twins and they made it into the local paper and
they ended up having twin boyfriends in primary school.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Wow, Gary, thank you very much. What are the odds.
Gary Double, I love garys good. Here we go a
here Jody, Yeah.

in a call center.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
My customer that came through was called Jody, and I
had to transfer through to another agent that was also
called Jody.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
How dare you?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Jack's put his thumbs down like that. I'm giving it
a double thumbs up. One of the best, all the famous.

Christian O'Connell's show, some of these stories coming through of
amazing coincidence today.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
For what are the odds? Christian?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
By the way, non identical twins are hereditary, not identical twins, Christian.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
One of the odds. I work with a guy called John.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
We both found out our birthdays on the s same day.
He was from South Australia. I told him, what's funny,
I was born in Essay. We then worked out we
were both born in the same hospital on the same.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Day, Well, yeah, what are the odds? Christian?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
My name is Daniel. Five years ago I had to
have surgery on my ankle. There were not one, not two,
not three, four Daniels in the operating surgery, me, the surgeon,
ne anethetist, Daniel, the theater tech and myself.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
When anyone said Daniel were.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
All around the odds, but make sure the doctor one definitely.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Thirty years ago, my dad was flying back to New
Zealand to visit his parents. He starts channeling to the
person next from halfway to New Zealand, and then he
found out this was his best friend that he went
to school with forty years. The chat pete, I could
(05:58):
spot an.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Old oh years trackaway and go Toby. I went to
such Yeah, yeah, hang, I know me. It's what are
the odds? Christian. One of the odds.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
A friend of mine has had four daughters, all born naturally,
and each has been born on the twenty third each day,
just in different months.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
No, what are the odds?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Twenty thirty eleventh If you want to plan on twenty
third of the third, twenty third of the fourth, and
twenty third of the seventh, Bingo, Christian. One of the odds,
and many years ago my grandfather's car.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
This is incredible.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
My grandfather's car was stolen from a shopping center at Christmas,
then a few days later was left outside by Auntie's house.
Turns out the people that stole it lived around the
corner from her and had parked the car there to
avoid parking outside their own home. We're dinner with master
criminals here, not knowing it was parks outside the daughter
(06:52):
of the man they'd stolen.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
That brilliant.
Speaker 2 (06:55):

Speaker 8 (07:00):
My parents sent me a birthday card one year and
they've been separated since I was like four years old,
and it was the same card.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Wow, that is pretty incredible.
Speaker 8 (07:13):
What are you car? I think it's really because they
haven't spoken to each other for that long.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Wowson, I love that, Maggie. William, Thank god.
Speaker 9 (07:22):
It was one of the odds. I bought some golf
clubs a couple of years ago through a gum tree
in my local area. I was selling them, which the
clubs that I actually wanted was the same name as me.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
William.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
You put this one through.
Speaker 5 (07:37):

the bill?

are following numbers.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Oh, this is incredible.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
What are the odds?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
So does that mean they would have been enlisted together.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
They enlisted at the same time, and yeah, their service
numbers were following numbers one, three, one, two, three, four, five,
six seven.
