0:00.0 | Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Welcome to Oh No Ross and Carrie, the show where we don't |
0:15.2 | just report on fringe science spirituality at clipes of the paranormal, but take part |
0:21.1 | ourselves. That's right. Wait. Oh, no. Yeah. That's right. It's like about we show up. That's |
0:33.5 | right. When they make the claims, we show up so you don't have to. I'm Ross. And I'm |
0:38.5 | Carrie Poppy. And today we have with us a very, very special guest who needs no introduction, |
0:45.2 | but he will get one because you can't see him. Gerrit. Gerrit Lennon Koffman. Hello. I'm |
0:53.2 | sober. Welcome. He's been watching us slowly get drunk. This is fantastic. Quickly get drunk. |

1:51.9 | while we actually record a sub-segment of skepticality. Every couple weeks, put it up there, |
1:56.8 | read the stories for people, and then analyze them statistically, which is actually more fun than |
2:01.4 | that sounds. So if I understand the project correctly, it's kind of actually about how these |
2:07.4 | these coincidences might seem like extraordinary out of the ordinary things, but actually they happen |
2:13.1 | all the time. Right. Right. The idea there is to take all these stories that a lot of people put a |
2:17.5 | lot of stock in believing they mean more than maybe they do, and we analyze them to show them. Well, |
