Friday the 13th superstitions and bad luck

0:00We're celebrating all things spooky today. It's Friday the 13th. And if you're a firm believer in superstitions, there are a few things you'll need to keep in mind. Absolutely, Sally, thank you. According to legend, walking under a ladder can lead to a series of unfortunate events and the reason being that a leaning ladder creates a triangle which historically represents the holy trinity. What happens if you just have the ones leaning up against the wall? It's not really a triangle. You're nuts. And what about breaking a mirror on Friday the 13th?

LAUGHTER So, to this day, fans say, that moment is why Ross went on to have so much bad luck for the entire 10 seasons. Oh, shit. He didn't even get the whole thing up. Like, the umbrella off. He didn't even get it open. Like, haven't you got to actually have it open for it to be bad? Like, it was a partial... No. No? No, that's why it was only a partial oneness. OK, what? Yeah. So, what are you saying that he didn't have had it open? I'm saying that the fans are wrong. You can't get... You maybe get five years, like, it's a discount. Like, a half-up. Yeah, and you get only five years. Yeah, it's a maths. It's science. It's...

2:02It's actual science. It's a maths. It's a maths. It's a maths.
