0:01 Noam Hassenfeld? Hello, it's Noam and I've got some big news. We can finally tell you what we've been up to the last few weeks and months. Unexplainable is coming to Netflix. We're gonna have a weekly video show, starting this coming Monday, July 13th. And don't worry, we're still gonna get two episodes a week, right here in our audio feed. Every Monday, you'll get the same episode as Netflix, right here for your ears. And every Wednesday, you'll get another new episode, just for the audio feed. We're so excited to finally show you some of the things we could only talk about before, like bioluminescence in the depths of the ocean, or the most mind-bending photos from

1:01 Speaker 01 I was nine or 10 years old. I just turned my head slowly to the left, and it's rising up out of the ground.
1:11 Speaker 02 This ball of light. And, of course, my first thought is... What am I seeing? This is not real. I'm like, what? Is that?
1:22 Noam Hassenfeld? It's a good question. What is that? How is that?
1:27 Speaker 03 Come on, you're not serious, right?
1:31 Noam Hassenfeld? Unexplainable is a show about questions that take over your life.
1:35 Speaker 04 Are there different ways that humans might be dead?
1:38 Speaker 05 What don't you understand about love?
1:41 Speaker 06 Do we live inside of an enormous black hole?
1:44 Speaker 07 Why is this dog eating his owner's face if he loves him? Why do we cry? How will we be remembered?
1:51 Speaker 03 What did you do next? I kept on being like, yeah, but what if I eat it?
1:59 Noam Hassenfeld? Unexplainable is a show about everything we don't know. You really have no choice but to just let your mind go wild. And all the people chasing after answers. Does it ever feel like an almost impossible...
2:13 Speaker 07 Task? It's, it's the unknown.
2:21 Noam Hassenfeld? Unexplainable is going to take you right up to the edge of what we know. We have no clue what's going on at the outer edges of the galaxy. And then we're going to go exploring. Exploring is better than sex. All the thrill and none of the baggage. New episodes every Monday and Wednesday with new video episodes every Monday on Netflix.
2:43 Speaker 07 What came first, the chicken or the egg? Everybody asks if the chicken or the egg came first or second. The egg or the chicken, nobody knows. But when they're in the egg, what came first?
2:55 Noam Hassenfeld? Unexplainable, a podcast from Vox. Now on Netflix.
