Episode 73 – Coinky-Dinks

June 22, 2020

In this episode, Cody and Chris talk about coincidences that align a little too well to be mere chance. First, Cody talks about a story written by Edgar Allen Poe that eventually became a true story. Or did it? Then, Chris discusses a woman who “heard” an accident - involving her daughter - that happened over 20 miles away. Next, Cody’s shares a crazy coincidence that started with a dollar and ended in marriage. Finally, Chris talks about the strange similarities between Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Creep of the Week comes from one of our faithful listeners: Lern. This week’s drinks are a blueberry/mint/ginger fizz and Kirkland’s Asolo Prosecco.
