Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, this is Kevin.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey Kevin, where are you calling me from?
Speaker 3 (00:03):
Sir?
Speaker 4 (00:04):
Uh Frederick?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Excellent? You gotta have sibling. Yeah, I've got a half
brother who's uh now, seventeen years order.
Speaker 5 (00:13):
Maybe oh ooh, ooh ooh. Wasn't expecting that. Wasn't expecting that.
I always feel like half siblings are like the same age. No, well,
not the same age, but close in age.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Why I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
My kids are uh my two boys eleven and three,
are half brothers.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Ooh, what happened there? Nothing? Just had another kid?
Speaker 6 (00:45):
Why do you want it to be so juicy?
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Wait a minute?
Speaker 5 (00:47):
So so you you were you had the eleven year
old with one woman, and I don't know what happened there,
but then you waited, maybe got married, and then you
waited and then had one eight years later with like
a second wife.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Maybe correct? Do they know? Do they know that they're
half siblings or not? The little one doesn't comprehend, but
my older one does. Will you raise him to not know?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
No? I don't think it matters at all.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Oh, I mean it's a brother.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Yeah yeah, but don't you is the port you that
wants them to think they're real brothers.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Brothers, they're growing up together.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
They're well they're half brothers. They're half brothers.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah, so yeah, there's no reason for them to act
any different.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I gotcha. All right, No, that's fair.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
I mean, listen, teach their own, teach their own all right,
very good, very good, Thank you, sir, thank you.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
That was gonna have to be one of those I
agree to disagree calls because he was starting to really
hate you.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, no, no, and please don't. But is it is
it common?
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Maybe if the kids are closer in age, is it
common to raise the kids without them knowing that they're haves.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Or does it depend on this scenario. I didn't take
it like.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
A younger one couldn't comprehend it.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, well he's just.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Not old enough. He just don't have the brain. Because here,
can I tell you what I was reading? This is
why I'm thrown off.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Maybe this will help us.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Okay, So mother and father. Mother and father are married, right,
they have a kid. We'll name that child.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
One.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Mom has an affair while married to father. She gets pregnant,
doesn't stay with the affair guy. He was just a
pump them and dump them, right, Dad says to mom.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
If I'm staying with you and takes off. Okay, mom now.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Has child with dad and child with affair.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Right.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Thirty five years later, child number one knows child number
two is not a biological brother. Well, no, well they
have the same mom.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Child number two was brought up to think, oh, that
they had the same dad.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
That dad sounds like he was out of the picture too.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yeah, exactly. And the mom was always like, he's a
bad guy. He's a bad guy. He left us and
left us, oh, so.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
That they could keep the story going because he wasn't
around the corrective.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Exactly, so mom kept that around.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
So now it's thirty five years later and older brother
is like conflicted about whether to tell younger brother, Oh,
you're a half.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
You're not a full Why now, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
I don't know, just one of those like everybody has
a right to know who they are in medical and
God only knows what.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
And do you want to find your real dad? I
don't know.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
But he's lighting with the one dad. What do you
mean the dad who who laughed? Is is there something
going on in his life? And the brother wants to
tell the other brother the half brother.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Do I owe it?
Speaker 5 (04:16):
To my brother to let him know the truth and
whether I should confront my mother about the fact that
she never told.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Him or maybe that dad died. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
And the other brother is like, I can't believe dad died.
They're like, oh, I saw your dad.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
And the guy says that he's always the half brother
is always regarded the father, the dad, not not the
not the affair dad, but like his brother's dad as
his dad, even though he's not in.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The picture right, And he's like, that's not his dad. Wow.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
But I would think a lot of times that there
are people who were probably halves that were never told
they were halves because you don't want whatever, like have
a kid, get to or remarry, have another kid like that.
There's nothing to that, Like that happens all the time
at my house. But that happens all the time.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
You want more of a scandal.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
But if there's well I don't want to call it
a scandal, but getting remarried isn't scandals at all.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
No, that's what.
Speaker 7 (05:16):
You don't even want to call them half siblings.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Does that happen where they're raised to think that they're
real siblings?
Speaker 7 (05:26):
I think, yeah, oh yeah, why not.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I mean, listen, like, my brother was adopted, David. He
died at a very young age five, but he was.
There were there were a lot of people that back
then were like, don't tell any don't tell kids they're adopted,
it'll jack them up.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
So I would imagine it's the same thing for halves,
and especially if they're trying to keep quiet something like
an affair.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Yeah. So you do it as a vehicle as a
means to your ends, which is keeping.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Same same dad, the secret? Exactly exactly where am I going?
Line two? Hi elliot in the morning? Yeah, Hi, who's this? Yes, sir,
what can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Uh? Yeah, I've heard six half sisters from what?
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Three up? Sorry? Four on my dad's side. Two on
my mom's side.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Was did somebody get remarried?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yes, yes, my mom remarried. She had another child, and
my dad remarried and he had two more.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh dude, that's a lot going on.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
You got you got halves all over the place. Can
I ask you this? Do any of them not? Do
any of them not know that they're half siblings?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I think the youngest ones could bear around ten to eleven.
They are coming into understanding, but if not, something of
them to them, So it's not necessarily something they care.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
But are you trying to pay? Are you trying to
keep it from them?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
No, I don't think it's anything that's withheld. They know
that we live in different areas. Most of us are
thirty years old while the others are teenagers.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
And I got you ten years old, I gotcha.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Yeah, so it's got to be the only reason. So
thank you, sir, thank you. So that's got to be
the reason kid out of wedlock.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
I mean, that would be my guess as to why
you pretend or don't tell anyone.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But not even an affair.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Let's say, let's say you're eighteen years old, right, you
get knocked up by your high school boyfriend, you have
a kid, he's three, You meet somebody like now, now
you're twenty one, you meet somebody, you get into a relationship,
you you get married, you have a kid, whatever. So
now you've got a four year old and.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
A zero year old. You may never tell him that
it was you know, you got pregnant when you were eighteen.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
But is that other person they're yeah, they're not in
the picture because if they're poking around.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
They're not in the picture now. They not that we
were in college. They were. We were this summer before college.
He moved off, went to Ole, Miss.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
It is a hard lie to maintain, though.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Oh you know what I was. I was actually gonna
go I could see myself falling into it. But you're
telling me that if dad or mom isn't in the picture,
you could see that.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Yeah, for how long? And then they're whole live if
especially with all these DNA genealogy things, like if they
pop back in, you're screwed.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Well, then you just go, I don't there's some crazy
persons reaching out to you.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
They could be exposed accidentally, Like it's not even someone
trying to uncover the truth.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
You're a guy. You're a guy, right, and you knock
up a girl. You knock up two girls same time.
They both had the kid, and they were like, you know,
we're in the man's like, no, I want I'll take
them both. You just get birth to them. I'll take
them both. You go do your thing. We're young, we're dumb,
(09:09):
we were horny, we were drunk. I'll take them both.
Now I have two kids. You could see not telling them.
You could say that I was with this one woman
and it just didn't work out. But we had two
beautiful kids. I mean they may as they get older
try to do the math and figure out. Right now,
we're born kind of around the same time.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
It's like time, you're fighting time, because over time the
truth is going to somehow rear its head.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
You'd have to change one of their birthdays, you do that.
I don't know, Diane.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
It's weird because my Social Security card says this. But
forever we celebrated in the summer COVID there.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Was a kind of all errors going on. Yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
What is this one? Unpacked? This one my great grandmother
was married, hold on.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Hold on, Okay, great grandmother.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Was married and my great and and the husband died.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Okay, okay, husband died.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
I'm good there and married someone else and had my
great uncle and grandfather.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Oh, that's one of those where like my sister's also
my niece.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
We knew she was a half, but we never sat half.
She was always a full.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Well she's not.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
But that one is just there's so many relations, too
many layers, too many layers like Matt's.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But do they not know? Do they not know they're
a half.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
No, she said, we knew, but we never referred to it.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Oh that's like, well we don't say it because we
consider them.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
Okay, But like Matt's story was pretty easy to understand.
I have a half sister who is twenty years older
dad's first wife in college. Then a half brother twenty
years younger dad's male order bride when he was in
his sixties.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I got that one, But I'm not trying to tell
each other that they're biologicals.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
Yes, say full ill.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Is not right?
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Full sounds rude? Though full full? How is that because
you are kind of you're half biological?
Speaker 7 (11:14):
You were using the word real.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Yeah, that's why.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
The one's that's true, that's true, full full full sib
line one.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Hi Elliot the morning.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Hey this is me.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, Hi, who's this Hi?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
This is Ashley?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yes, Ashley, what can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Hi? So I have five half siblings and you guys
keep differentiating between the half and the full. I mean,
we just say this is my sister, like we've never differentiated.
And I have a cousin who has a half sibling
and she always says, this is my half brother. And
I think that's weird.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Why is that weird.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
It's just weird in conversation to introduce somebody that way.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Do you refer to your step do you refer to
your step siblings? Just your sibling.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
It's not a step sibling, it's a half something. So
there's a difference between that too, because you have one
parent in common, but your step sibling is you're no
parents in common.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Okay, but you're still not a full.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Yeah, but it's my siblings, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, but it's not They're not real. I mean they are,
they're halfway there.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
We have one parent in common. I have two with
my mom and then three with my dad.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I don't like that.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I don't like where there's halfs on them. But yeah,
I can't that. I can't keep track of Oh, I.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Have nine siblings total. There's steps, there's halves, there's everything.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
So yeah, see steps. Are you closer with your halves
or your steps as because of the biological parent?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Yes, like we all, I mean we range from fifty
four years old to twenty three years old. So that's
an interesting dynamic as well.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Like for example, Greg t who called in the other day,
heading maybe he's on his way back from Alabama, but
he called in he has he has a full sister
and a half sister, and we were all in the
beach house together. But if if somebody knew came over
to the beach house, he would go, oh, this is
my sister Stacy, this is my half sister, and then
(13:07):
her no sister.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
No, he was in the same situation at the beach house.
This is my sister Rachel, this is my sister Alicia.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
No, he was like, this is my sister Stacy and
my half sister Michelle. And why was he so adamant
about letting people know that, because you don't introduce somebody
who's not your full as your as you're.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
Full, even in a casual setting like that.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Yeah, but then it's also a little disrespectful to Stacy,
who is a full She gets laumped.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
I think it's respect to the half siblings. No, oh,
it would hurt my feelings because I'm a half sibling
as well, right, so it would hurt my hurt my
feelings if my sister was like, oh, this is my
half sister, Like we all just introduced each other.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Is this is my sister, this.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Is my brother.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Oh, really, where's your You know, it's funny I met
her dad, but it doesn't look like your dad.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Well it's because it's whoa. Okay, well, somebody's trying to
cover a scandal.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Oh, no, zero scandal. My parents have each been married
three times. Everybody knows.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Oh wow, there's a lot going on. There a lot
going Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
All right, very good, very good, thank you day why
I don't want to be upsetting siblings half siblings.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Found out at age eighteen that my mother was my stepmother,
my brother was my half brother, and I had a
half sister in Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Good bye.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Oh you're an adult now, so sit down.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I don't even know. I can't even follow that they wrote.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
It felt like an after school special, So I don't
what happened. I have four half siblings.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That's like multiple marriages.
Speaker 7 (14:39):
One I was raised with but did not know until
I was eighteen, So that would be that brother was mentioned,
but I never knew because they didn't want to tell
us about the biological mother. Oh and she said that
my mom was a step mom, not my actual mom.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Ooh, can I say something that probably isn't popular. If
Jackie and I got divorced, yes, and then Jackie got
together with another man and had a kid that that
that boy or girl would be halves with my boys.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I would tell both my boys, you don't have to
have any relationship with that kid.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
Don't feel like you have to just because.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
Somebody seeing them on holidays or whatever.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
You're adults now, like you don't know. You don't know
that to anybody. We're like, now, it's got to be
like this is my brother.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
No, so don't be cordial.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
You you'd be cordial, like you could say hi, but
like you two are brothers.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It's just there's too much separation there.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Oh, so you're saying it's only because of their age.
Yeahed say again if they were closer and.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, because then you're all living together. No, I guess not.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Well maybe sometimes not all the time though, if you
haven't if Jackie's remarried. If Jackie's remarried, the kids also
live with you, if they're miners for the time.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
That's where it gets weird, because if Jackie got remarried
and had a had a half sibling.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
For my boys, yes, I have no relation.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
To that kid at no point when that child live
with you.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
No, But what if what if I took what if
I took my two boys, because I'm not with Jackie anymore,
so we're not going on a family vacation. What if
I took my two boys to a hockey game in Toronto?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Do I have to bring their brother with them?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Like jack you pay for everything, I.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Ain't paying for that one, like the occasional dinner maybe.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
And also, like you said, if it happens now it's
an infant.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
And twenty, yeah, I'd be like, you don't even honestly,
don't even learn its name.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
You're right that probably, and I don't mean for it too.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I just can't wrap my head around it. I love
the idea of not telling the kids that they're haves, though, But.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
For what reason?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Just to not because of the scandal?
Speaker 5 (17:05):
No?
Speaker 7 (17:05):
But is that like the last message we read was
that she said we didn't they didn't want to tell
us about the biological mother. Was there something going on
there that they didn't.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Want Yeah, because there's some drama with the biological Or
is it just they didn't want to tell us the truth.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
You have to interpret that one way.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, but that's they're not telling me the truth for
a reason, right, is it? But is it just that?
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Or is there more? Is there is there something with
her story. Maybe they're just very religious. Oh yeah, that
could be it too.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Religion could play a big part in that. Hi Elliot
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Hi Taylor? Yes, So I have two half sisters from
two different moms, same dad.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
So you have the same death your two half sisters.
Is that the same woman or two different Did your
dad have kids with three different women?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Two different women? Okay, I got you.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
Two different women.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
And then I have a brother who I thought was
my full brother up until the age of twenty six.
He is my half brother. I found out, and we
have different mom, we have different dads.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Same mom.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
How'd you find out at twenty six? Oh?
Speaker 8 (18:31):
My brother told me. And that's also when I found
out my cousin that I grew up with, who's always
lived with us, is actually my half brother. And it's
the most biologically related to me because.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
He is my.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
Mom's sister's son and their identical Swiss genetically, we are
the most related. I have no full siblings, but like
my cousin, I always considered my brother, so like it
made sense that way. But yeah, so discovered.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Like was there. Were we trying to were we trying
to protect something?
Speaker 8 (19:15):
I was not allowed to know. One of my brothers
found out in his thirties, uh about my dad not
being their dad.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
So did your mom have an affair?
Speaker 8 (19:30):
No, my dad was the one that was doing a
bunch of stuff. Yeah, but it was always I'm not
allowed to know. So when the whole family knew, it
was I'm not allowed to know, I promise I'll tell
her when she gets older, when she gets older after
high school, and then you know, eventually my sibling who's like, okay,
(19:55):
you need to know this. Okay, it made a lot.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Of sense, and because of it, like what's the sequence.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Disappeared, Me and my siblings were able to get.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
At least me and my brothers were able to get
closer and kind of break down a lot of the
lies my dad.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Was telling me.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
So it helped us ultimately. But yeah, it was always
I wasn't allowed to know because I'm the baby of
the family.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Like sure they were just trying to protect you. Of course,
of course, all right, very good, very good.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
I wish I could say I followed that from Instagram.
I'm forty two and just found out through a genealogy
test that my two siblings are actually half siblings because
of an affair my mother had. I also found out, yes,
that I have a half brother through my biological father's side.
I absolutely wish I would have known this earlier in
my life.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
That they were halves and not because they she would
have treated them separately differently.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Doesn't say the reason, but maybe it explains things. Just
like the caller said, like there's always been there's always.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Some done that up, always like there's somebody's always like
very weird about Thanksgiving, and it never made sense until
now they found out if forty two just recently there
they say, how they found out, Oh, genealogy. If I
were the parent, I'd be like, those things are half
wrong all the time.
Speaker 7 (21:21):
Speaking of half there's also a half brother on your
biological father's side.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
But isn't that weird They kept both sides anonymous, not anonymous,
but unknown.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, yeah, h man, wouldn't that weird you out?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Like when it weird you out if you found that,
Like you get a phone call and it's one of
your brothers who's like, Diane, I was streaming the show,
which I do every day, and I I always told
Frank I would take this to the grave, but unfortunately, no,
you were the product of an affair, so you're actually
our half sibling. But Pearl was never gonna leave, but Frank,
(21:59):
Frank took that big curb feeler to somebody, and you
came along and Frank took it in with the rest.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
That would you'd feel like everything was a lie.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
You'd replay everything, But no, not everything's a lie.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
You and Linda would still be still.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Why now tell me?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So you'd rather go to your grave not knowing?
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Really if I.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Didn't find if I if I didn't find out, why
wouldn't Were they gonna tell me I'm my deathbed?
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Oh by the way, No, But if it was just
like you know what, it's just it's eating at your
brother and he's like, I gotta tell you.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Oh, so now it's eating it both of us. Thanks Frank.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Frank laid that pipe to somebody and Pearl. Pearl was fine.
They counseled and she was fine. But Linda, Linda and
your two brothers are full and you're your Frank's affair. Wow,
I would so you'd rather not know? You would rather
go your whole life living a lie. Yeah, no, and
(22:58):
that what happens when twenty three and me shows up
and it's like, Hi Diane, Oh, Hi Diane.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
My name is Marie. I had an affair with Frank.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
That's what I'm thinking about. It's less going back and
trying to apply it to my childhood and seeing if
it answers questions that were always present if I'm Diane,
or if it's happening to me. I'm thinking more about, like, wait, so,
who is my mom?
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Oh, Marie, somebody I've never known my whole life. No, well,
and odds are.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Is your mom? Pearl is your mom?
Speaker 7 (23:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Mom?
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Rae is biological?
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Plenty of people don't know their biological parents. My brother
didn't know his biological But.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Now that you're being told that you have, they're out there.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I have the answer for you. I have the answer.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
This is the reason your brother told you. We finally
learned your biological mother has passed.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Jesus.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Okay, Marie, Marie, you've dropped us on my lap. And oh,
by the way, she's dead, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
No, but we always Pearl was always your mother, and
Frank was always your father, and we never wanted Marie
to have anything to do with you.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
I remember Diane's also dying, isn't Diane.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
No, Diane threw that in.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Now Diane's got to come to work tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Thank you, Lyne too. Hi Elliot in the morning, Hi.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Elliott, Yes, Hi. So I have thirteen siblings total, only
one of them is both parents.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Okay, my god? How many?
Speaker 5 (24:43):
How many times were both your parents married with kids?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
So my biological father had kids with three different women?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh god? And your mom had what my mom had?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Me and my brother, which we have the same mom,
same dad. Then you know, eight years later she had
two more kids, so we all have the same mom's,
different dad.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
It's it's a mess.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Can you can you? You could discipline Halves.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
If I'm the same dad, I'm still going to discipline you,
or the same mom, I'm still going to discipline you.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Yeah, because it's not really your kid A.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
Point, not my problem problem.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I can't follow it. This is why I feel so dumb.
Hey, this is Kevin.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey Kevin, where are you calling me from?
Speaker 3 (00:03):
Sir?
Speaker 4 (00:04):
Uh Frederick?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Excellent? You gotta have sibling. Yeah, I've got a half
brother who's uh now, seventeen years order.
Speaker 5 (00:13):
Maybe oh ooh, ooh ooh. Wasn't expecting that. Wasn't expecting that.
I always feel like half siblings are like the same age. No, well,
not the same age, but close in age.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Why I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
My kids are uh my two boys eleven and three,
are half brothers.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Ooh, what happened there? Nothing? Just had another kid?
Speaker 6 (00:45):
Why do you want it to be so juicy?
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Wait a minute?
Speaker 5 (00:47):
So so you you were you had the eleven year
old with one woman, and I don't know what happened there,
but then you waited, maybe got married, and then you
waited and then had one eight years later with like
a second wife.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Maybe correct? Do they know? Do they know that they're
half siblings or not? The little one doesn't comprehend, but
my older one does. Will you raise him to not know?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
No? I don't think it matters at all.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Oh, I mean it's a brother.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Yeah yeah, but don't you is the port you that
wants them to think they're real brothers.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Brothers, they're growing up together.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
They're well they're half brothers. They're half brothers.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah, so yeah, there's no reason for them to act
any different.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I gotcha. All right, No, that's fair.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
I mean, listen, teach their own, teach their own all right,
very good, very good, Thank you, sir, thank you.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
That was gonna have to be one of those I
agree to disagree calls because he was starting to really
hate you.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, no, no, and please don't. But is it is
it common?
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Maybe if the kids are closer in age, is it
common to raise the kids without them knowing that they're haves.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Or does it depend on this scenario. I didn't take
it like.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
A younger one couldn't comprehend it.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, well he's just.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Not old enough. He just don't have the brain. Because here,
can I tell you what I was reading? This is
why I'm thrown off.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Maybe this will help us.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Okay, So mother and father. Mother and father are married, right,
they have a kid. We'll name that child.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
One.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Mom has an affair while married to father. She gets pregnant,
doesn't stay with the affair guy. He was just a
pump them and dump them, right, Dad says to mom.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
If I'm staying with you and takes off. Okay, mom now.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Has child with dad and child with affair.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Right.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Thirty five years later, child number one knows child number
two is not a biological brother. Well, no, well they
have the same mom.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Child number two was brought up to think, oh, that
they had the same dad.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
That dad sounds like he was out of the picture too.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yeah, exactly. And the mom was always like, he's a
bad guy. He's a bad guy. He left us and
left us, oh, so.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
That they could keep the story going because he wasn't
around the corrective.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Exactly, so mom kept that around.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
So now it's thirty five years later and older brother
is like conflicted about whether to tell younger brother, Oh,
you're a half.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
You're not a full Why now, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
I don't know, just one of those like everybody has
a right to know who they are in medical and
God only knows what.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
And do you want to find your real dad? I
don't know.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
But he's lighting with the one dad. What do you
mean the dad who who laughed? Is is there something
going on in his life? And the brother wants to
tell the other brother the half brother.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Do I owe it?
Speaker 5 (04:16):
To my brother to let him know the truth and
whether I should confront my mother about the fact that
she never told.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Him or maybe that dad died. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
And the other brother is like, I can't believe dad died.
They're like, oh, I saw your dad.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
And the guy says that he's always the half brother
is always regarded the father, the dad, not not the
not the affair dad, but like his brother's dad as
his dad, even though he's not in.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The picture right, And he's like, that's not his dad. Wow.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
But I would think a lot of times that there
are people who were probably halves that were never told
they were halves because you don't want whatever, like have
a kid, get to or remarry, have another kid like that.
There's nothing to that, Like that happens all the time
at my house. But that happens all the time.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
You want more of a scandal.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
But if there's well I don't want to call it
a scandal, but getting remarried isn't scandals at all.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
No, that's what.
Speaker 7 (05:16):
You don't even want to call them half siblings.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Does that happen where they're raised to think that they're
real siblings?
Speaker 7 (05:26):
I think, yeah, oh yeah, why not.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I mean, listen, like, my brother was adopted, David. He
died at a very young age five, but he was.
There were there were a lot of people that back
then were like, don't tell any don't tell kids they're adopted,
it'll jack them up.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
So I would imagine it's the same thing for halves,
and especially if they're trying to keep quiet something like
an affair.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Yeah. So you do it as a vehicle as a
means to your ends, which is keeping.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Same same dad, the secret? Exactly exactly where am I going?
Line two? Hi elliot in the morning? Yeah, Hi, who's this? Yes, sir,
what can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Uh? Yeah, I've heard six half sisters from what?
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Three up? Sorry? Four on my dad's side. Two on
my mom's side.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Was did somebody get remarried?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yes, yes, my mom remarried. She had another child, and
my dad remarried and he had two more.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh dude, that's a lot going on.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
You got you got halves all over the place. Can
I ask you this? Do any of them not? Do
any of them not know that they're half siblings?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I think the youngest ones could bear around ten to eleven.
They are coming into understanding, but if not, something of
them to them, So it's not necessarily something they care.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
But are you trying to pay? Are you trying to
keep it from them?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
No, I don't think it's anything that's withheld. They know
that we live in different areas. Most of us are
thirty years old while the others are teenagers.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
And I got you ten years old, I gotcha.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Yeah, so it's got to be the only reason. So
thank you, sir, thank you. So that's got to be
the reason kid out of wedlock.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
I mean, that would be my guess as to why
you pretend or don't tell anyone.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But not even an affair.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Let's say, let's say you're eighteen years old, right, you
get knocked up by your high school boyfriend, you have
a kid, he's three, You meet somebody like now, now
you're twenty one, you meet somebody, you get into a relationship,
you you get married, you have a kid, whatever. So
now you've got a four year old and.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
A zero year old. You may never tell him that
it was you know, you got pregnant when you were eighteen.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
But is that other person they're yeah, they're not in
the picture because if they're poking around.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
They're not in the picture now. They not that we
were in college. They were. We were this summer before college.
He moved off, went to Ole, Miss.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
It is a hard lie to maintain, though.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Oh you know what I was. I was actually gonna
go I could see myself falling into it. But you're
telling me that if dad or mom isn't in the picture,
you could see that.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Yeah, for how long? And then they're whole live if
especially with all these DNA genealogy things, like if they
pop back in, you're screwed.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Well, then you just go, I don't there's some crazy
persons reaching out to you.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
They could be exposed accidentally, Like it's not even someone
trying to uncover the truth.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
You're a guy. You're a guy, right, and you knock
up a girl. You knock up two girls same time.
They both had the kid, and they were like, you know,
we're in the man's like, no, I want I'll take
them both. You just get birth to them. I'll take
them both. You go do your thing. We're young, we're dumb,
(09:09):
we were horny, we were drunk. I'll take them both.
Now I have two kids. You could see not telling them.
You could say that I was with this one woman
and it just didn't work out. But we had two
beautiful kids. I mean they may as they get older
try to do the math and figure out. Right now,
we're born kind of around the same time.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
It's like time, you're fighting time, because over time the
truth is going to somehow rear its head.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
You'd have to change one of their birthdays, you do that.
I don't know, Diane.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
It's weird because my Social Security card says this. But
forever we celebrated in the summer COVID there.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Was a kind of all errors going on. Yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
What is this one? Unpacked? This one my great grandmother
was married, hold on.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Hold on, Okay, great grandmother.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Was married and my great and and the husband died.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Okay, okay, husband died.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
I'm good there and married someone else and had my
great uncle and grandfather.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Oh, that's one of those where like my sister's also
my niece.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
We knew she was a half, but we never sat half.
She was always a full.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Well she's not.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
But that one is just there's so many relations, too
many layers, too many layers like Matt's.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But do they not know? Do they not know they're
a half.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
No, she said, we knew, but we never referred to it.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Oh that's like, well we don't say it because we
consider them.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
Okay, But like Matt's story was pretty easy to understand.
I have a half sister who is twenty years older
dad's first wife in college. Then a half brother twenty
years younger dad's male order bride when he was in
his sixties.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I got that one, But I'm not trying to tell
each other that they're biologicals.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
Yes, say full ill.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Is not right?
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Full sounds rude? Though full full? How is that because
you are kind of you're half biological?
Speaker 7 (11:14):
You were using the word real.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Yeah, that's why.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
The one's that's true, that's true, full full full sib
line one.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Hi Elliot the morning.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Hey this is me.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, Hi, who's this Hi?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
This is Ashley?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yes, Ashley, what can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Hi? So I have five half siblings and you guys
keep differentiating between the half and the full. I mean,
we just say this is my sister, like we've never differentiated.
And I have a cousin who has a half sibling
and she always says, this is my half brother. And
I think that's weird.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Why is that weird.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
It's just weird in conversation to introduce somebody that way.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Do you refer to your step do you refer to
your step siblings? Just your sibling.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
It's not a step sibling, it's a half something. So
there's a difference between that too, because you have one
parent in common, but your step sibling is you're no
parents in common.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Okay, but you're still not a full.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Yeah, but it's my siblings, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, but it's not They're not real. I mean they are,
they're halfway there.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
We have one parent in common. I have two with
my mom and then three with my dad.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I don't like that.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I don't like where there's halfs on them. But yeah,
I can't that. I can't keep track of Oh, I.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Have nine siblings total. There's steps, there's halves, there's everything.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
So yeah, see steps. Are you closer with your halves
or your steps as because of the biological parent?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Yes, like we all, I mean we range from fifty
four years old to twenty three years old. So that's
an interesting dynamic as well.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Like for example, Greg t who called in the other day,
heading maybe he's on his way back from Alabama, but
he called in he has he has a full sister
and a half sister, and we were all in the
beach house together. But if if somebody knew came over
to the beach house, he would go, oh, this is
my sister Stacy, this is my half sister, and then
(13:07):
her no sister.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
No, he was in the same situation at the beach house.
This is my sister Rachel, this is my sister Alicia.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
No, he was like, this is my sister Stacy and
my half sister Michelle. And why was he so adamant
about letting people know that, because you don't introduce somebody
who's not your full as your as you're.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
Full, even in a casual setting like that.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Yeah, but then it's also a little disrespectful to Stacy,
who is a full She gets laumped.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
I think it's respect to the half siblings. No, oh,
it would hurt my feelings because I'm a half sibling
as well, right, so it would hurt my hurt my
feelings if my sister was like, oh, this is my
half sister, Like we all just introduced each other.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Is this is my sister, this.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Is my brother.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Oh, really, where's your You know, it's funny I met
her dad, but it doesn't look like your dad.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Well it's because it's whoa. Okay, well, somebody's trying to
cover a scandal.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Oh, no, zero scandal. My parents have each been married
three times. Everybody knows.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Oh wow, there's a lot going on. There a lot
going Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
All right, very good, very good, thank you day why
I don't want to be upsetting siblings half siblings.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Found out at age eighteen that my mother was my stepmother,
my brother was my half brother, and I had a
half sister in Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Good bye.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Oh you're an adult now, so sit down.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I don't even know. I can't even follow that they wrote.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
It felt like an after school special, So I don't
what happened. I have four half siblings.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That's like multiple marriages.
Speaker 7 (14:39):
One I was raised with but did not know until
I was eighteen, So that would be that brother was mentioned,
but I never knew because they didn't want to tell
us about the biological mother. Oh and she said that
my mom was a step mom, not my actual mom.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Ooh, can I say something that probably isn't popular. If
Jackie and I got divorced, yes, and then Jackie got
together with another man and had a kid that that
that boy or girl would be halves with my boys.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I would tell both my boys, you don't have to
have any relationship with that kid.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
Don't feel like you have to just because.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
Somebody seeing them on holidays or whatever.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
You're adults now, like you don't know. You don't know
that to anybody. We're like, now, it's got to be
like this is my brother.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
No, so don't be cordial.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
You you'd be cordial, like you could say hi, but
like you two are brothers.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It's just there's too much separation there.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Oh, so you're saying it's only because of their age.
Yeahed say again if they were closer and.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, because then you're all living together. No, I guess not.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Well maybe sometimes not all the time though, if you
haven't if Jackie's remarried. If Jackie's remarried, the kids also
live with you, if they're miners for the time.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
That's where it gets weird, because if Jackie got remarried
and had a had a half sibling.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
For my boys, yes, I have no relation.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
To that kid at no point when that child live
with you.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
No, But what if what if I took what if
I took my two boys, because I'm not with Jackie anymore,
so we're not going on a family vacation. What if
I took my two boys to a hockey game in Toronto?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Do I have to bring their brother with them?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Like jack you pay for everything, I.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Ain't paying for that one, like the occasional dinner maybe.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
And also, like you said, if it happens now it's
an infant.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
And twenty, yeah, I'd be like, you don't even honestly,
don't even learn its name.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
You're right that probably, and I don't mean for it too.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I just can't wrap my head around it. I love
the idea of not telling the kids that they're haves, though, But.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
For what reason?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Just to not because of the scandal?
Speaker 5 (17:05):
No?
Speaker 7 (17:05):
But is that like the last message we read was
that she said we didn't they didn't want to tell
us about the biological mother. Was there something going on
there that they didn't.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Want Yeah, because there's some drama with the biological Or
is it just they didn't want to tell us the truth.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
You have to interpret that one way.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, but that's they're not telling me the truth for
a reason, right, is it? But is it just that?
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Or is there more? Is there is there something with
her story. Maybe they're just very religious. Oh yeah, that
could be it too.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Religion could play a big part in that. Hi Elliot
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Hi Taylor? Yes, So I have two half sisters from
two different moms, same dad.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
So you have the same death your two half sisters.
Is that the same woman or two different Did your
dad have kids with three different women?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Two different women? Okay, I got you.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
Two different women.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
And then I have a brother who I thought was
my full brother up until the age of twenty six.
He is my half brother. I found out, and we
have different mom, we have different dads.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Same mom.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
How'd you find out at twenty six? Oh?
Speaker 8 (18:31):
My brother told me. And that's also when I found
out my cousin that I grew up with, who's always
lived with us, is actually my half brother. And it's
the most biologically related to me because.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
He is my.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
Mom's sister's son and their identical Swiss genetically, we are
the most related. I have no full siblings, but like
my cousin, I always considered my brother, so like it
made sense that way. But yeah, so discovered.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Like was there. Were we trying to were we trying
to protect something?
Speaker 8 (19:15):
I was not allowed to know. One of my brothers
found out in his thirties, uh about my dad not
being their dad.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
So did your mom have an affair?
Speaker 8 (19:30):
No, my dad was the one that was doing a
bunch of stuff. Yeah, but it was always I'm not
allowed to know. So when the whole family knew, it
was I'm not allowed to know, I promise I'll tell
her when she gets older, when she gets older after
high school, and then you know, eventually my sibling who's like, okay,
(19:55):
you need to know this. Okay, it made a lot.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Of sense, and because of it, like what's the sequence.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Disappeared, Me and my siblings were able to get.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
At least me and my brothers were able to get
closer and kind of break down a lot of the
lies my dad.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Was telling me.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
So it helped us ultimately. But yeah, it was always
I wasn't allowed to know because I'm the baby of
the family.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Like sure they were just trying to protect you. Of course,
of course, all right, very good, very good.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
I wish I could say I followed that from Instagram.
I'm forty two and just found out through a genealogy
test that my two siblings are actually half siblings because
of an affair my mother had. I also found out, yes,
that I have a half brother through my biological father's side.
I absolutely wish I would have known this earlier in
my life.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
That they were halves and not because they she would
have treated them separately differently.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Doesn't say the reason, but maybe it explains things. Just
like the caller said, like there's always been there's always.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Some done that up, always like there's somebody's always like
very weird about Thanksgiving, and it never made sense until
now they found out if forty two just recently there
they say, how they found out, Oh, genealogy. If I
were the parent, I'd be like, those things are half
wrong all the time.
Speaker 7 (21:21):
Speaking of half there's also a half brother on your
biological father's side.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
But isn't that weird They kept both sides anonymous, not anonymous,
but unknown.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, yeah, h man, wouldn't that weird you out?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Like when it weird you out if you found that,
Like you get a phone call and it's one of
your brothers who's like, Diane, I was streaming the show,
which I do every day, and I I always told
Frank I would take this to the grave, but unfortunately, no,
you were the product of an affair, so you're actually
our half sibling. But Pearl was never gonna leave, but Frank,
(21:59):
Frank took that big curb feeler to somebody, and you
came along and Frank took it in with the rest.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
That would you'd feel like everything was a lie.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
You'd replay everything, But no, not everything's a lie.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
You and Linda would still be still.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Why now tell me?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So you'd rather go to your grave not knowing?
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Really if I.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Didn't find if I if I didn't find out, why
wouldn't Were they gonna tell me I'm my deathbed?
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Oh by the way, No, But if it was just
like you know what, it's just it's eating at your
brother and he's like, I gotta tell you.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Oh, so now it's eating it both of us. Thanks Frank.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Frank laid that pipe to somebody and Pearl. Pearl was fine.
They counseled and she was fine. But Linda, Linda and
your two brothers are full and you're your Frank's affair. Wow,
I would so you'd rather not know? You would rather
go your whole life living a lie. Yeah, no, and
(22:58):
that what happens when twenty three and me shows up
and it's like, Hi Diane, Oh, Hi Diane.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
My name is Marie. I had an affair with Frank.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
That's what I'm thinking about. It's less going back and
trying to apply it to my childhood and seeing if
it answers questions that were always present if I'm Diane,
or if it's happening to me. I'm thinking more about, like, wait, so,
who is my mom?
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Oh, Marie, somebody I've never known my whole life. No, well,
and odds are.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Is your mom? Pearl is your mom?
Speaker 7 (23:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Mom?
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Rae is biological?
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Plenty of people don't know their biological parents. My brother
didn't know his biological But.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Now that you're being told that you have, they're out there.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I have the answer for you. I have the answer.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
This is the reason your brother told you. We finally
learned your biological mother has passed.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Jesus.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Okay, Marie, Marie, you've dropped us on my lap. And oh,
by the way, she's dead, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
No, but we always Pearl was always your mother, and
Frank was always your father, and we never wanted Marie
to have anything to do with you.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
I remember Diane's also dying, isn't Diane.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
No, Diane threw that in.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Now Diane's got to come to work tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Thank you, Lyne too. Hi Elliot in the morning, Hi.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Elliott, Yes, Hi. So I have thirteen siblings total, only
one of them is both parents.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Okay, my god? How many?
Speaker 5 (24:43):
How many times were both your parents married with kids?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
So my biological father had kids with three different women?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh god? And your mom had what my mom had?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Me and my brother, which we have the same mom,
same dad. Then you know, eight years later she had
two more kids, so we all have the same mom's,
different dad.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
It's it's a mess.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
Can you can you? You could discipline Halves.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
If I'm the same dad, I'm still going to discipline you,
or the same mom, I'm still going to discipline you.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Yeah, because it's not really your kid A.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
Point, not my problem problem.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I can't follow it. This is why I feel so dumb.
