I really admire how Michael can do these interviews, be asked the same 5 questions (plus some more) in every one and not go completely crazy!
I was always surprised how people got so disappointed by the more mundane explanations being disproved
That's not my experience at all--it's more that people concoct the most elaborate theories involving time travel, aliens and all that rubbish then get bummed out when a cigar is just a cigar. It was hilarious to see people's head explode when the Sri Lanka video came out explaining the numbers and all their wild, elaborate theories got shot down.
I think people were disappointed when they found it wasn’t literally purgatory
Um, Michael, you shouldn't use the past tense! There's *still* people I talk to about the show and online who insist they are in the Christian idea of purgatory, even after being told dozens and dozens of times that they're not.

Thanks again for finding this stuff, Edith!
