there is there is a sibling. Yeah, that is a
what do you call that half? Is it a half?
You have same something, same mom, different dads? That's half? Okay?
(02:09):
The or' is that step? I don't know?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
You're confusing me. They you mentioned.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Tom, Neither of his parents are my biological parents.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Anyway, the I'm not good at trying to put all
that together.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
They're halves. Who's that you're talking about?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
The story?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yeah, okay, I said it four times in your life.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
But is it step?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
But I don't understand it anyway? They got a different dad,
same mom, right, So anyway, Friend number one is being
explained that is not her biological father. That is her
half father, and so they're They're like, but listen, it's
(02:54):
not your place to say anything. I don't know what
she knows or what she doesn't know, right, none of
that is none of that's any of our business, So
don't say anything. So Friend number one has never even
approached it with Friend number two ever, ever, ever come.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Up, and has held that information since they were twelve.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And Friend number two has lived her entire life thinking
that's her father. But Friend number two is getting ready
to jump on the old twenty three and me ancestry
hunt and put together her history.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
So Friend number one feels.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Horribly guilty that they haven't said anything.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's okay, take that to the grave.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
No, nothing good comes of revealing that now.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So when she s, so when she lie by omission,
So when she calls crying and is like, guess.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
What I just you have to act like you have
no idea?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Oh, oh my gosh. When should she have told her immediately? No?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, she turns eighteen eighteen.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You gotta sit on that for six years.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
No, and tell them any moment beyond that after immediately
is too late.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You could wait a couple of days to the weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
You either tell her when you're twelve or you never
say a word. And that's the thing. You're twelve, you're
so young.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, this isn't like they found where you go, Yeah, no,
but at twelve that you go, I don't even know
what this means. But my parents said your dad's not
your real dad. No.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I thought they explained it, yeah, and said you don't
say anything.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well they didn't say don't say anything, but that's what.
But to her, you go like, hey, my parents told
me about your dad. What about I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Worried about just about upsetting your friends home, you're also
worried about the hell you're gonna face with your own.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Parents because they're gonna be pissed.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I'm gonna tell her. I'm gonna tell her, no.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
You are.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
This is I didn't like in the last story exactly
culturally what they're expected to do with the elderly.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
But this is one I'm all about to lie.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Wouldn't you want to say something?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
And I understand the parents were in a tough spot
because they they got caught over her, they got talking
about it. It's not like they just blurted it out
to the child and said, well, of course it's not
even his kid her dad.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, no, this is.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Listen, her relationship with that man is going to be
completely reframed when she finds out these results. The search
will beyond maybe for her actual father, but why ruin
the relationship she has with you?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
So when she says, so you have to pretend you
had no idea. Yes, your whole relationship has been a lie.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
No no with that man.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yes, please keep focus on the man who pretended to
be your dad.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, but that's not so bad either.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
The lesson is tell at twelve.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
The no, no, but that's not so bad either. I
was going to be I was I was going to
be your father for the rest of your life.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Right, But I wonder if they'll start realizing remember last
week we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
She is going to start realizing, Oh no, wonder, no, wonder,
I couldn't go out on my eighteenth birthday.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Not his real kid, but with the empty front seat story.
Oh yeah, there was the one message that said that
the daughter was a walking, talking reminder of your ex,
Like are there things that you would be pieced together
now that the two of them went through the friends right,
(06:45):
And at the time the friend had to be like, well,
why would Why would you be a walking, talking reminder
of someone, because that's that's your.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Damn So you had to lie. You have to live
that lie.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
You are living it and you work in a condemn
Well continue or claim that.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Twenty three and me, you know their bankrupt.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
They're just telling people whatever they want to hear, just
to create drama. And have you subscribe to the higher tiers,
the premium packages.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I think it would bother me to watch them try
to go through all that work when I know the
real answer.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Well, this is not the only thing they're trying to uncover.
You said it was a whole tree, a whole ancestry thing.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, but I mean you're barking up the wrong one
because you ain't gonna find nothing. You ain't going to
find nothing.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Well, no, this sets you off on your journey. Here
you go, you found a hobby. I'll be over here.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
No, see with Diane, don't.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Look out pain she bothers me. Yeah, you got to
say somethe you know, say it when you're innocent and twelve.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
But are you smart enough? But Tyler's right, you're afraid
of your parents, of course you are, and you're afraid
of her fake dad, there are things.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Now I say that, I then have to end with
telling my children, you probably don't want to share that
with your teacher. Just little things if they should be
sharing their teacher. No, it's just when I tried to
explain to them the psychology that a teacher is using
to try to influence the class. I want them to
(08:13):
be able to see through it and not be free.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I see what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Call you out.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yeah, stuff like that, Call you out. But if I
told them the neighbors, big family, you, you frighten them
into into not really, I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You lose a friend at this point, you lose you
can you can't fast now ago. Yeah, I've known since
we were twelve. That's what I said. Yeah, don't get
to the grave. Yeah, but then you have to spend
your whole You've spent your whole life lion to her.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Oh but do you want someone in your life who's
now obsessing over that she grew up?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
And no, it's kind of nice.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The I told you. There's so much weird stuff going on,
and I love it. I love it. I would drop
little hints here and there, What do you mean you
don't look anything like him?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
But that's the kind of stuff that when you're older,
you'll piece together when you have confirmation.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Remember that one time you said we looked nothing alike.
Did you know something?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Then?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I knew since we were twelve, My parents knew. I'm sorry,
Where am I going? Line four? Hi, Elliet in the morning,
trus me, Yeah, Hi, who's that?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I don't want to use names, but I just want
to let you know that I have six kids, and
my oldest son is not my biological son, and none
of my kids know that. It's just my wife, myself,
and my oldest son know it. And we weren't going
to tell him at all, but we found out. He
found out. His guidance counselor in high school let it
(09:55):
slip and told him that I wasn't his father.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Pause pause pause, How old? How old is you? How
old is your oldest kid? Now?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
He is thirty six?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Oh wait, that's okay, you CAUs I got you the
So he knows, but none of the other five kids know.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
That's correct.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, and he's keeping the secret also.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah. See he's never he's never been like a step
he's always he's always been my son. Period. I don't know,
I get that staff or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I totally get that.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
How did the guidance counselor lit its?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Yeah, the guidance counsel blow him no idea, honestly, don't.
I just remember him coming home and he was like
cry and he gets out of the car, and I'm
thinking to myself that he got his girlfriend pregnant or something.
I'm like, Oh, it's gonna be okay, don't worry, we'll
get through this. And then we go in the house
and he tells me what happened. Oh my gosh, I
was so angry.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
What did he say? Hey, I know you're not my dad.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Yeah, I mean it was something along his line. It
was something, you know, I think he was a sophomore
in high school or something like that. I mean he
was pretty young, you know, sixteen, seventeen years old.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's a good age. So, yeah, what did you do
to the guidance counselor nothing?
Speaker 5 (11:12):
What can you do? I mean out then you can't,
you know, put it back in. So just not a
big fan of that guidance counsel.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But nobody else in the family can I ask you this?
Why not? What what is the And I understand what
you mean, like you've raised him your whole life, like
he's your kid and not not not your kid. But
what's the harm in telling the other siblings? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:37):
I know, I don't know. I mean, and I don't think.
And it's funny too that, you know, there'll be situations
where we talk about, you know, he was like one
year old when you know we met and then started
dating and things like that. So if the kids like
put the dates all together with the wedding and when
we met and all that stuff, I mean, they could
probably figure it out. But we tried it to fly,
(12:00):
you know. Any time that comes up, you know, at
anytime like dates or anything comes up.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Oh I love it. I love it. I love still though.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That's what's so crazy about it.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Hey, are there any of it? Are? Are Are is
the entire family in the area?
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Yes, yeah, we all live. We live in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Oh you live in Pittsburgh. Okay. I was gonna saying,
are there any chance that any of the other five
sons are listening right now? But you're in Pittsburgh, you're
good to go.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:27):
No, none of them. Yeah, my youngest we listen to
you and I take him to school every day. But
he doesn't listen when he gets.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
To school though.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Sweet, that's why they need to start putting phones back
in school. All right, very good, thank you, thank you sir.
That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
You're sitting around Christmas opening up gifts, drinking that dag
and someone brings up dates.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
So dates, mate, I don't remember, no, but you know what,
I get that. I totally get that. And now it's
just been so long you can't say.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I'm surprised he let the guidance counselor like slide. Well,
it's not what was it done with a malicious intent?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You don't blow up someone?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Probably not. I also blow it up. It's a complete accident.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, what was the accident? Hey, you know your dad's
not your dad?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
You know this warm here says he's not your dad.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
So you're gonna take English? Very good? And oh that
reminds me your dad's not your dad.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
What you said it in a way that was revealing
but not so mean, like.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Take this home for your parents to sign, and by parents,
I mean your mom because your dad isn't your dad?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
No, something like, hey, out of curiosity, do you have
any relationship with your dad?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah? He dropped me off at school this morning. Oh no,
I mean your real one, or I mean you want
to go dark for a second.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Well, also, because I'm hearing that kid was having sex, I.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Thought it was girlfriend getting pregnant or something.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Imagine that's good news. No, no, is it. I wonder
if it is one of those cases though, where the
I'm gonna mess this up? But why there's certain like
the schools, No, certain parents can't pick up kids on
certain days.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Oh if somebody's on a band and they.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Were like, your dad's here, and the guidance counselor was like,
better not be.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
God.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Okay, no, but that's true.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I know that happens a lot, right, but that is
a darker timeline it is.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I said, let's go dark for a second.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I found out the intruder in the school was my
actual dad.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Lockdown, lockdown, better not be line one. Hi Elliott the morning.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yo, yo, good?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
What can I do for you? So?
Speaker 6 (14:45):
I when I was like eleven or twelve, my parents
were out on trip somewhere and I was sleeping in
their bed and I found my mom's journal and that's
how I found out my dad wasn't my dad?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Wait, how old were you eleven. Yeah, what did the journal?
What did the journals say?
Speaker 5 (15:06):
It was?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
It was I didn't see anything specific.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
It was like cryptic things like, oh, I hope you
don't look anything like him, and blah blah blah, things
like that that I asked my grandmother about and she's like, yeah,
we got to talk.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Oh Grandma confirmed.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
And then and then when I when I could front
my parents about it, apparently their plan was.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
To tell me when I was eighteen.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Why like that?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
That just seems like a weird time to break that
news to me when it comes to someone's responsibility for
a child. Yeah, eighteen makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
But that's when you're gonna tell your dad and your siblings. Like,
at that point, you just got it. You gotta list.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
You're saying leave it, be let sleeping dogs lie.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
No, I'm saying tell him early. Oh yeah, tell him earlier. Dude.
You found out by reading your mom's journal.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
You started dating my mom when I was two. They
got married when I was five.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
He legally adopted me at the time. I had no
idea of any of this, but and we have a
great relationship.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
But yeah, that was we didn't. We didn't for a minute.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
There, But that's where that's where you got to go. Hey, listen,
we we're a family. We're a family. And and and Hank,
who I know you call him dad, Maybe not anymore,
but he loves you and he's known you since you
were one years old. But Hank ain't your dad? All right,
let's get on scream all right, very good, thank you,
(16:35):
thank you. I never even looked at it from that side. Oh,
gut punch.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I think what we have uncovered is that if you
are in a situation like this, you got him fess early. No,
not as the child, oh, but if you are one
of the players of the roles that are adults or
even like he mentioned the old grandmother. No, I'm saying,
like family that's aware of it. You need to know
(17:02):
what you're gonna do when confronted with these questions. You
cannot be caught off guards. So you got to rehearse that.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I'm not saying you have to do that. I'm not
work for word, but you got to have a game plan.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, but imagine your game plan when you're like, if
they come and go, hey is Hank my real dad?
You may have a game plan, but when they when
you go, yeah, of course, and they go, oh, it's
funny because I was reading my mom's journal. God damn it.
I wasn't ready for that nugget.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Well, since you say that now, and that's the thing.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
These people are finding out in ways that weren't expected
journal guidance counselor. So that's why you you have to
be prepared guidance counselor.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I'd lose my mind if I were the parent, I
would lose my mind. Where am I going? Line six? Hi,
Elliet the.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Morning, Hey to me?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, Hi, who's this? Hey?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I'm not gonna get my name of that, Okay, yeah, sure.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So I did twenty three and years a couple of
years ago and got it pop where there was a
ninety nine percent chance father son relationship, and I thought
for sure that it was going to tell me I
had a kid I didn't know about, and I like,
then when I found out I have a different dad,
it was like at first it was like an immediate relief,
and then it was a gut punch.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
And and now I actually.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I'm glad I brought this to y'all are talking about
this because now I'm struggling because my mom always thought
there was a chance, but she won't. Let me tell
my dad.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Okay, hold on one second. The wait, so, okay, so
your mom.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I'll get back to the immediate relief that he didn't
have a child. That's great, and then you reset, like,
wait a second, wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
So the guy the guy, So the mom, your mom
got pregnant by some guy that she thought was the dad,
who clearly is not the dad. But now that you
know who the real dad is, your mom doesn't want
that guy to know.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
So, my the person who is my real biological father,
now he knows. We connected on twenty three and meters.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
The person who.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Thinks he's my biological father, he does not know yet.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
And oh, let's call him.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Let's call him.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Let's call him right now.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Maybe he's waiting for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Let's go get ice cream. No, no, let's let's let's wait.
Are you gonna tell him? Are you gonna tell him?
Speaker 2 (19:29):

Oh yeah, yeah, so she found out like an hour
after I found out.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
So she's known for two two years. Oh and so
she doesn't she doesn't want you to tell that guy.
Do you have a good relationship with that with that guy?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
I do, now, we didn't when I was a child.

Didn't have a kid bonus grandfather.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Oh that's a good question. How old is your kid?
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
I have I have a lot of kids and they
are all under ten.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Have a lot of kids.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Do they know? Have any of them met the new grandfather?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
No? No, no, no, So.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
They all think the fake grandfather is the real grandfather?
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, yeah, Jerry, Jerry, this is awesome.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
But your biological father wants to roll in their lives.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Oh good question.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Yeah yeah, Oh stupid Christmas.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Unless you're Jewish? Are you Jewish?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
So's the the Uh? This is this is great? Though,
this is great?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Would wait to describe it?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
No, but I mean from my perspective, I'm loving it.
Who do we tell first, the kids or the fake father?
I think we got to tell the fake father.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Well, remember his mother doesn't want him any of it
to the Does that? Does the mom say she's cool
with your children, her grandchildren learning about the biological father?
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Oh no, no, yeah, she would just be better off
where if this were not ever revealed?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Please not say anything.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
So wait, but your mom's concern is that and I
understand what you mean is that fake dad will go, Hey,
you lied to me for thirty five years. I raise
these kids like their mind. That cost me, you know,
five thousand dollars. I want that money. Yes, yeah, exactly.
(23:09):
Oh are you I know you said you got a
lot of kids. Are you married?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Does your does your wife know?
Speaker 5 (23:21):

rip the band aid off.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I'm with her.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Does she have a bad relationship with your mom? Because
you will?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Does she want you?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Does she want you to rip the band aid off?
On the air?
Speaker 5 (23:40):
No, you don't. I was so reluct No, don't be.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did.
You made my day good.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Another guy calling from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
It's a safe space if you're calling.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
So all right, well listen, I know I'm not going
to change your mind now, but I think maybe once
you have a couple of drinks, you'll change your mind.
Let's figure that out.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Let's do it some other time.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
All right, brother, I appreciate it. Wow, thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Oh yeah, that is one of the best and most
unique scenarios we've ever come across on the air.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Oh, it's great. It's great. I love it.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
With with a listener revealing it all.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, I love it. I wanted to. I want to
talk to the mom.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
No, why because she's gonna be upset that her son
told you.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah, I'll just I don't have to tell her how
I found out your daughter in law. You know, misrip,
But you agree. Nothing's getting better than that. Nothing's getting
better than that.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
No, that's layered
Two neighbors grow up next door to each other. Follow
me you ready? Two neighbors grow up next door to
each other, best of friends, best of friends for fifty years.
Fifty fifty years. Oh no, they live a lifetime of
being friends. They grew up together, they went to school together. Obviously,
(00:21):
they've each become adults and gone their separate ways, but
they have remained best of friends their entire life and
remain so to this day. Friend number one, when they
were twelve years old, Friend number one is over at
friend number two's house. Friend number one is over there
(00:46):
at friend number two's house. Friend number two's dad is
kind of like, kind of an a hole to friend
number two. Whatever to his kid, Yeah, exactly to his kid.
Friend number one goes home, it makes some comment to
their parents like, hey, so and so's dad was really mean,
(01:07):
like really really mean to her. And the parents were like, oh, well,
you know what, whatever, no big deal.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
That's what you don't understand family nuances.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, no, I don't know what they said. But when
friend number one leaves the room, mom and dad start
Friend number one's mom and dad start talking, and friend
number one hears them say something that sounds very odd
and she believes she hears them say he's like that
because that's not a real dad.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Oh god.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Friend number one goes back into the room and says,
I'm sorry, what what does what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And they were like well, and she was like, you
just said it's not a real dad. So they have
a conversation with Fred number one. They're twelve years old. Yeah,
they have a conversation with her that talks about biological
there is there is a sibling. Yeah, that is a
what do you call that half? Is it a half?
You have same something, same mom, different dads? That's half? Okay?
(02:09):
The or' is that step? I don't know?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Okay, I'm sorry, is bringing family in both sides right now?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
You're confusing me. They you mentioned.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Tom, Neither of his parents are my biological parents.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Anyway, the I'm not good at trying to put all
that together.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
They're halves. Who's that you're talking about?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
The story?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yeah, okay, I said it four times in your life.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
But is it step?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
But I don't understand it anyway? They got a different dad,
same mom, right, So anyway, Friend number one is being
explained that is not her biological father. That is her
half father, and so they're They're like, but listen, it's
(02:54):
not your place to say anything. I don't know what
she knows or what she doesn't know, right, none of
that is none of that's any of our business, So
don't say anything. So Friend number one has never even
approached it with Friend number two ever, ever, ever come.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Up, and has held that information since they were twelve.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And Friend number two has lived her entire life thinking
that's her father. But Friend number two is getting ready
to jump on the old twenty three and me ancestry
hunt and put together her history.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
So Friend number one feels.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Horribly guilty that they haven't said anything.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's okay, take that to the grave.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
No, nothing good comes of revealing that now.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So when she s, so when she lie by omission,
So when she calls crying and is like, guess.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
What I just you have to act like you have
no idea?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Oh, oh my gosh. When should she have told her immediately? No?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, she turns eighteen eighteen.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You gotta sit on that for six years.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
No, and tell them any moment beyond that after immediately
is too late.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You could wait a couple of days to the weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
You either tell her when you're twelve or you never
say a word. And that's the thing. You're twelve, you're
so young.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, this isn't like they found where you go, Yeah, no,
but at twelve that you go, I don't even know
what this means. But my parents said your dad's not
your real dad. No.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I thought they explained it, yeah, and said you don't
say anything.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well they didn't say don't say anything, but that's what.
But to her, you go like, hey, my parents told
me about your dad. What about I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Worried about just about upsetting your friends home, you're also
worried about the hell you're gonna face with your own.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Parents because they're gonna be pissed.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I'm gonna tell her. I'm gonna tell her, no.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
You are.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
This is I didn't like in the last story exactly
culturally what they're expected to do with the elderly.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
But this is one I'm all about to lie.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Wouldn't you want to say something?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
And I understand the parents were in a tough spot
because they they got caught over her, they got talking
about it. It's not like they just blurted it out
to the child and said, well, of course it's not
even his kid her dad.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, no, this is.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Listen, her relationship with that man is going to be
completely reframed when she finds out these results. The search
will beyond maybe for her actual father, but why ruin
the relationship she has with you?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
So when she says, so you have to pretend you
had no idea. Yes, your whole relationship has been a lie.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
No no with that man.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yes, please keep focus on the man who pretended to
be your dad.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, but that's not so bad either.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
The lesson is tell at twelve.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
The no, no, but that's not so bad either. I
was going to be I was I was going to
be your father for the rest of your life.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Right, But I wonder if they'll start realizing remember last
week we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
She is going to start realizing, Oh no, wonder, no, wonder,
I couldn't go out on my eighteenth birthday.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Not his real kid, but with the empty front seat story.
Oh yeah, there was the one message that said that
the daughter was a walking, talking reminder of your ex,
Like are there things that you would be pieced together
now that the two of them went through the friends right,
(06:45):
And at the time the friend had to be like, well,
why would Why would you be a walking, talking reminder
of someone, because that's that's your.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Damn So you had to lie. You have to live
that lie.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
You are living it and you work in a condemn
Well continue or claim that.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Twenty three and me, you know their bankrupt.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
They're just telling people whatever they want to hear, just
to create drama. And have you subscribe to the higher tiers,
the premium packages.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I think it would bother me to watch them try
to go through all that work when I know the
real answer.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Well, this is not the only thing they're trying to uncover.
You said it was a whole tree, a whole ancestry thing.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, but I mean you're barking up the wrong one
because you ain't gonna find nothing. You ain't going to
find nothing.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Well, no, this sets you off on your journey. Here
you go, you found a hobby. I'll be over here.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
No, see with Diane, don't.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Look out pain she bothers me. Yeah, you got to
say somethe you know, say it when you're innocent and twelve.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
But are you smart enough? But Tyler's right, you're afraid
of your parents, of course you are, and you're afraid
of her fake dad, there are things.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Now I say that, I then have to end with
telling my children, you probably don't want to share that
with your teacher. Just little things if they should be
sharing their teacher. No, it's just when I tried to
explain to them the psychology that a teacher is using
to try to influence the class. I want them to
(08:13):
be able to see through it and not be free.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I see what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Call you out.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yeah, stuff like that, Call you out. But if I
told them the neighbors, big family, you, you frighten them
into into not really, I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You lose a friend at this point, you lose you
can you can't fast now ago. Yeah, I've known since
we were twelve. That's what I said. Yeah, don't get
to the grave. Yeah, but then you have to spend
your whole You've spent your whole life lion to her.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Oh but do you want someone in your life who's
now obsessing over that she grew up?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
And no, it's kind of nice.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The I told you. There's so much weird stuff going on,
and I love it. I love it. I would drop
little hints here and there, What do you mean you
don't look anything like him?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
But that's the kind of stuff that when you're older,
you'll piece together when you have confirmation.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Remember that one time you said we looked nothing alike.
Did you know something?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Then?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I knew since we were twelve, My parents knew. I'm sorry,
Where am I going? Line four? Hi, Elliet in the morning,
trus me, Yeah, Hi, who's that?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I don't want to use names, but I just want
to let you know that I have six kids, and
my oldest son is not my biological son, and none
of my kids know that. It's just my wife, myself,
and my oldest son know it. And we weren't going
to tell him at all, but we found out. He
found out. His guidance counselor in high school let it
(09:55):
slip and told him that I wasn't his father.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Pause pause pause, How old? How old is you? How
old is your oldest kid? Now?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
He is thirty six?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Oh wait, that's okay, you CAUs I got you the
So he knows, but none of the other five kids know.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
That's correct.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, and he's keeping the secret also.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah. See he's never he's never been like a step
he's always he's always been my son. Period. I don't know,
I get that staff or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I totally get that.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
How did the guidance counselor lit its?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Yeah, the guidance counsel blow him no idea, honestly, don't.
I just remember him coming home and he was like
cry and he gets out of the car, and I'm
thinking to myself that he got his girlfriend pregnant or something.
I'm like, Oh, it's gonna be okay, don't worry, we'll
get through this. And then we go in the house
and he tells me what happened. Oh my gosh, I
was so angry.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
What did he say? Hey, I know you're not my dad.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Yeah, I mean it was something along his line. It
was something, you know, I think he was a sophomore
in high school or something like that. I mean he
was pretty young, you know, sixteen, seventeen years old.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's a good age. So, yeah, what did you do
to the guidance counselor nothing?
Speaker 5 (11:12):
What can you do? I mean out then you can't,
you know, put it back in. So just not a
big fan of that guidance counsel.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But nobody else in the family can I ask you this?
Why not? What what is the And I understand what
you mean, like you've raised him your whole life, like
he's your kid and not not not your kid. But
what's the harm in telling the other siblings? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:37):
I know, I don't know. I mean, and I don't think.
And it's funny too that, you know, there'll be situations
where we talk about, you know, he was like one
year old when you know we met and then started
dating and things like that. So if the kids like
put the dates all together with the wedding and when
we met and all that stuff, I mean, they could
probably figure it out. But we tried it to fly,
(12:00):
you know. Any time that comes up, you know, at
anytime like dates or anything comes up.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Oh I love it. I love it. I love still though.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That's what's so crazy about it.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Hey, are there any of it? Are? Are Are is
the entire family in the area?
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Yes, yeah, we all live. We live in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Oh you live in Pittsburgh. Okay. I was gonna saying,
are there any chance that any of the other five
sons are listening right now? But you're in Pittsburgh, you're
good to go.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:27):
No, none of them. Yeah, my youngest we listen to
you and I take him to school every day. But
he doesn't listen when he gets.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
To school though.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Sweet, that's why they need to start putting phones back
in school. All right, very good, thank you, thank you sir.
That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
You're sitting around Christmas opening up gifts, drinking that dag
and someone brings up dates.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
So dates, mate, I don't remember, no, but you know what,
I get that. I totally get that. And now it's
just been so long you can't say.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I'm surprised he let the guidance counselor like slide. Well,
it's not what was it done with a malicious intent?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You don't blow up someone?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Probably not. I also blow it up. It's a complete accident.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, what was the accident? Hey, you know your dad's
not your dad?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
You know this warm here says he's not your dad.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
So you're gonna take English? Very good? And oh that
reminds me your dad's not your dad.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
What you said it in a way that was revealing
but not so mean, like.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Take this home for your parents to sign, and by parents,
I mean your mom because your dad isn't your dad?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
No, something like, hey, out of curiosity, do you have
any relationship with your dad?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah? He dropped me off at school this morning. Oh no,
I mean your real one, or I mean you want
to go dark for a second.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Well, also, because I'm hearing that kid was having sex, I.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Thought it was girlfriend getting pregnant or something.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Imagine that's good news. No, no, is it. I wonder
if it is one of those cases though, where the
I'm gonna mess this up? But why there's certain like
the schools, No, certain parents can't pick up kids on
certain days.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Oh if somebody's on a band and they.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Were like, your dad's here, and the guidance counselor was like,
better not be.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
God.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Okay, no, but that's true.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I know that happens a lot, right, but that is
a darker timeline it is.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I said, let's go dark for a second.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I found out the intruder in the school was my
actual dad.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Lockdown, lockdown, better not be line one. Hi Elliott the morning.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yo, yo, good?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
What can I do for you? So?
Speaker 6 (14:45):
I when I was like eleven or twelve, my parents
were out on trip somewhere and I was sleeping in
their bed and I found my mom's journal and that's
how I found out my dad wasn't my dad?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Wait, how old were you eleven. Yeah, what did the journal?
What did the journals say?
Speaker 5 (15:06):
It was?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
It was I didn't see anything specific.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
It was like cryptic things like, oh, I hope you
don't look anything like him, and blah blah blah, things
like that that I asked my grandmother about and she's like, yeah,
we got to talk.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Oh Grandma confirmed.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
And then and then when I when I could front
my parents about it, apparently their plan was.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
To tell me when I was eighteen.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Why like that?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
That just seems like a weird time to break that
news to me when it comes to someone's responsibility for
a child. Yeah, eighteen makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
But that's when you're gonna tell your dad and your siblings. Like,
at that point, you just got it. You gotta list.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
You're saying leave it, be let sleeping dogs lie.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
No, I'm saying tell him early. Oh yeah, tell him earlier. Dude.
You found out by reading your mom's journal.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
You started dating my mom when I was two. They
got married when I was five.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
He legally adopted me at the time. I had no
idea of any of this, but and we have a
great relationship.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
But yeah, that was we didn't. We didn't for a minute.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
There, But that's where that's where you got to go. Hey, listen,
we we're a family. We're a family. And and and Hank,
who I know you call him dad, Maybe not anymore,
but he loves you and he's known you since you
were one years old. But Hank ain't your dad? All right,
let's get on scream all right, very good, thank you,
(16:35):
thank you. I never even looked at it from that side. Oh,
gut punch.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I think what we have uncovered is that if you
are in a situation like this, you got him fess early. No,
not as the child, oh, but if you are one
of the players of the roles that are adults or
even like he mentioned the old grandmother. No, I'm saying,
like family that's aware of it. You need to know
(17:02):
what you're gonna do when confronted with these questions. You
cannot be caught off guards. So you got to rehearse that.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I'm not saying you have to do that. I'm not
work for word, but you got to have a game plan.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, but imagine your game plan when you're like, if
they come and go, hey is Hank my real dad?
You may have a game plan, but when they when
you go, yeah, of course, and they go, oh, it's
funny because I was reading my mom's journal. God damn it.
I wasn't ready for that nugget.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Well, since you say that now, and that's the thing.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
These people are finding out in ways that weren't expected
journal guidance counselor. So that's why you you have to
be prepared guidance counselor.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I'd lose my mind if I were the parent, I
would lose my mind. Where am I going? Line six? Hi,
Elliet the.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Morning, Hey to me?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, Hi, who's this? Hey?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I'm not gonna get my name of that, Okay, yeah, sure.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So I did twenty three and years a couple of
years ago and got it pop where there was a
