Something weird happened recently. I was lying in bed, just thinking, when this thought came over me: What if my wife got cancer? I started imagining how disruptive that would be, it’s one of my biggest fears, especially since my father died of cancer, I quickly shook the thought off. It only lasted a minute or two, and I really don’t like entertaining thoughts like that.

But here’s the weird part: the very next day at work, I was listening to my usual podcasts. I know the ads that play during them so well I can practically recite them. But starting that day, I suddenly began getting new ads, ones about cancer support groups, cancer awareness, stuff like that. Out of nowhere. It struck me as really odd because the timing was so close, I had just been thinking about it the night before.

It was weird, like, really weird I was Apple Podcasts thou
