the show that brings you an interesting topic,

I'm Dan, and I'm Neil.
In this episode, we'll be discussing miraculous survival.
Hmm.
Have you ever had a near-death experience, Neil?
A near-death experience, meaning a situation where I very nearly died.
Well, I once fell off the side of a mountain,
but I was saved by a tree.
That's incredible.
Why do you ask?
Well, I recently heard a story about Alcidea's Moreno.
Who's that?
He's a window cleaner.
He cleaned the windows on the skyscrapers in New York.
Except one day, he fell.
Oh, my goodness.
