Speaker 1 (00:00):
What is your name?
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I'd rather not say.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Okay, can you tell can you tell me? Why?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, because I found out some information on ancestry that
kind of afford me. I found out my biological father
was it really my biological father?
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Oh, so you found out the person you thought was
your biological father is not your biological father.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
That's correct.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
But he still raised you, so you still consider him
your dad absolutely?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Right? Now, how did you how did you did you confront?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Well, so my mom passed away, so I couldn't confront.
But the guy who actually contacted me, my half brother.
He had asked me several questions. He said, don't you
think it's odd be first he approached me and he said,
I think we have stated dad.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I was like, no, I know who my dad is.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
He said, no, I think we have the same dad.
So he kept asking me questions that really made a
lot of sense. And he said, don't you think it's
odd that nobody on your dad's side shared the same DNA?
Speaker 4 (01:17):
And I thought, oh wow.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
And all of these people on his side I shared
DNA with and I thought, oh my god, So that's
how I found out. But his side of the family,
our dad, they're too afraid to tell him because he's
much older now and fragile, and they're afraid it's going
to kill him because he has this slove child, so
(01:40):
out of wedlock for both of them.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I gotcha.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
So your biological dad. Actually, now I'm going to ask
you a question in return, I just want to make
sure I have this right. Your biological dad does not
know that you exist.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You're a love child that just happened.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
That's correct, with your with your biological mom who has
since passed. Correct, now, just out of curiosity, your your dad,
your non biological dad, the man who raised you. Did
you ever say anything to him, like, hey, just FYI,
I know the deal?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Now he's dead too.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Oh oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So here I am like whirling and I have nobody
to talk to about it.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well, I'm glad I'm here.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
The But now let me ask you this the old
the biological father, that's old. Yeah, have you have you
made and other than the half brother who contacted you,
have you made any contact with the biological old man's family.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
So I am in touch with the guy who contacted
me for actually developing a relationship. So, but there are
four other siblings and they are in shock and so
far don't want to have contact with me.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Do you know anything about the biological old man other
than that he's old and in questionable health. No.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I know that they worked at the same place in Baltimore,
and I can kind of put pieces together, But the
only person who really knows the story is him, and
I would love to talk to him, but I can't.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You keep saying you can't. Yes, you can, but well.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm afraid I'll kill him too. If they think he's
so proudile, I'm afraid I'll kill him.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Yeah, let me.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Can we roleplay something for a second. Sure, Let's say
you call him and you're like, hey, i'm your daughter.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Through you had that affair with whatever your mom's name was, right,
you had sex with her, she got pregnant, and I
know that you didn't know about me. But I am
your I am your biological daughter.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Do you become eligible to receive some kind of like
what's the word that I'm looking for when somebody dies inheritance?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Like an inheritance?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Maybe, but I don't.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I mean, like, I.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Don't want anything like that. I'm not I'm not there
to like, you know, take a piece of the pie.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Are you saying that she'd be accused of not coming
out of the woodwork, but wanting him to be so
shocked and he is so fragile that maybe he would
die soon after and then she would get something.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
But you said you wouldn't want anything. No, what if
he was worth tens of millions of dollars? Okay, well
that might change it. Now, are you interested?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I mean, you know, I didn't know he existed before,
so not really help.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I didn't know I'd won the lottery until I bought
a ticket.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
True, thank you.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
You're saying a lot of things I would like not
included in the court case.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
No, no, but.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Even if, even if, even if the the so here's
here's the story that I'm getting at.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Hey, thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Hey, by the way, if you end up making contact,
you got to let me know how that goes.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I will thank you, all right, Very good, very good.
I'm glad you could be someone for her to chat
about it with. And I'm happy to do that for anybody.
I wasn't expecting that this shoulder right here is for anyone.
I thought it was going to be another year I
got wet ears.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
So here's here's the story. A woman from Massachusetts ends
up on like not ends up, but went through twenty
three in me. This goes back a couple of years
ago and through twenty three and me. She finds that
she has two sisters and a different father.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
She reaches out to them. Okay, when she reaches out.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
To them, her name is Her name is Carmen. She's
twenty eight years old. She got a DNA test done
in February of twenty twenty three, which led her to
find her biological father and her half sister.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Sounds very similar, right.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Dad had sex with Carmen's mom and whatever. So when
Carmen connected with her biological sisters, she found out that
her biological father had actually died five years earlier from
an undiagnosed aneurysm. Okay, the father had gone to the hospital,
(07:07):
and there was a whole series of errors that at
the hospital that the family beliefs could have, if treated properly,
could have prevented the.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Man from dying. Well that's even sadder, of course it is.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
And the family was right, oh, okay, and the family
won a twenty eight million dollar settlement from the hospital.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
And now the twenty three and Negro wants her portion.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Hello. Hello, is my dad too? I want Diana to
be one of those sisters.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Hello, Hello, Now she contacted the family after death, before settlement.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Okay, so she didn't know that they were going to
come into this money.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
No, but.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
But now that they have, and you know, and I guess,
the father had always said, whatever I have will go
to the family.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And so in this settlement from the hospital or the lawsuit,
excuse me, from the hospital, that money goes to his daughters.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Are we able to and you may know the timeline
or perhaps not, but are we able to completely discredit
a claim that she maybe knew there was potential wrongdoing
at the hospital. She didn't know, so she but she
but she found out he died. It wasn't through like
newspaper articles. Correct, it talked about the family. He had
(08:43):
died five years before that.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
But thinking that the hospital had screwed up her No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
not that I know of, not that I know.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So her now she did file a lawsuit because she
wants her cash against the sisters, her sister.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
So instead of it going two ways, it should be
split three ways.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Thank you, But you are buying that her arrival and
the timing of her showing up for this family totally
happenstance should be alive, the dad could be dead. The
dad could not have whose his estate, couldn't have won
the money. Exactly, It's just it happened to be when
it was.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I found out from twenty three and me, I went
on a hunt. I made a connection.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Almost sounds like an ad for their sales today.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
So she sued the siblings. Is that still in court?
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Nope, it's settled or a judgment's been made.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The two sisters, knowing they were on the hook, reached
the settlement with the twenty three and me sibling and
told her number one, shut your pie hole, Number two,
here's your money.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Go away. But they didn't disclose the terms.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
No gonna be less than she was due, right, So
imagine you're twenty eight divided by three is what seven eight,
nine nine million?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
So she didn't get nine million. They were that convinced
she was gonna win. They paid her off. Clearly, they
paid her off. Even if they paid her five or
do we think it was much less? I would bet
everything she won that it was less.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
But even if it was even if it was five million,
you're still four million ahead of the.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Game because you put the fear of God in them
and say you can't afford to have this fight with
us in court. Yeah, it's going to bankrupt you. And
if you don't win, then you're then you get on
the street, right, or you get nothing, or here's ten dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I'll take ten, I'll take it. I'll take it. How
about that? Wow? So if you if you, if you are,
if you are sibling, you are entitled.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
So go back to that original I'll call her who
told her that the father was so fragile and.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
The half brother, the one brother that she's talking to, right,
but he.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Did originally reach out to her, right, Yeah, okay, so
he brought her into this. It wasn't the other way
where she contacted him.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Well, I bet all those siblings would still argue she's
not doing any money.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Well, okay, but I'm just saying you, if you were
that dumb to introduce another party into a wealthy situation.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
That's on you. Yeah, then you should get financially punished.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
She is Diane's favorite of discipline. I like that.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
This is the first thing that I've read where I've
been like, I may have to get an ancestory a cab.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Hi Elliott the morning, Hey, Elliott's cap. Yes, who I'm sorry?
Speaker 8 (11:58):
Who is this Kelly?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 8 (12:02):
So I've done tons of digging on ancestry. I actually
got my dad a DNA kid, probably like seven years ago.
And then it came back with saying that because he
wanted more about his so called father, but it turned
out to be his the father who raised him, not
his actual biological father. And then once I put the
(12:24):
pieces together because I'm the youngest out of I'm the
second youngest out of twenty cousins, which I started putting
the pieces together with a couple of the cousins asking questions.
It turns out one of the guys that lived with
my grandmother was my dad's biological brother, our biological father.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Would I be.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Shocked to find out how many people don't know who
their biological parent is.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I always am every time we hear a story, So
did you make did you connect?
Speaker 8 (12:58):
I actually knew my biologe to go grandfather growing up
and went to our sceneal and everything. We didn't know
that that was my grandfather though until I started digging.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So you who did you think it was?
Speaker 8 (13:12):
I thought it was it was the gentleman who died
before my mom and dad got ever got married.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh I got you, I got you. Did you get
you get any money? That? No?
Speaker 8 (13:23):
But I told my dad about it, and he resents
it even to this day that the guy who lived
my grandmother when he passed was you know he was
That's not My dad was like, well, no, it's the
guy the guy got the guy that raised you. But
he's like, yeah, but he's not. He still resents it
and it's hard. But so my dad is one of seven,
and with all of my digging so far, I've come
up with he still has three living siblings. And it's
(13:49):
been a fun roller coaster because I found out that
Grandma has been busy with the three other gentlemen so
far because my dad has half siblings.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Love of strange sperm.
Speaker 8 (14:02):
Well, it's gonna be fun when I figure out the
other two, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
But now you know what's rattling in my head.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Listen, Like I got from my the man that I
thought was my dad, I got his debt. The woman
that I think is my mom, I'm getting, I'm I
actually write.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
A check too. What if? What if I have no
way of knowing whether they really are or aren't.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Well with your mom, you still have a chance and
you could probably get some sort of remains for your father,
right he.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Was was he He's cremated, but he's scattered.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Now can you get if you have an urn, can
you get DNA from cremains?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah, because aren't there bone fragments in there? Or are
they all burned out? I don't know. I am not
a It.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Is extremely difficult to get DNA from cremative Verman Jesus Christ,
and that search will definitely be flagged.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Diane, let me ask you this, and Frank is past.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
You cannot say with one hundred percent certainty Frank was
your dad.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
I mean, the resemblance is there.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
You cannot with one hundred percent certainty say that Frank
was your dad. Now, frank In and Pearl could with
one hundred percent certainty say Diane is our daughter. Right
like with my kids, I am one hundred percent their father.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Did Jackie have an affair at the same time I
was trying to get Jackie pregnant.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
So babies get switched to the hospitals. The well, there's
that's a nice wrinkle.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
So you unless you are taking tests, no, you can't
say with complete certainty.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And when kids are born, they don't DNA test you.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
No, not unless there's a request.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I gotta get on ancestry. Seriously, doesn't it make you question.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
How angry would Elliott be Diane if he found.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Out that his mother was not his mother?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Oh, like you don't, Oh and watch the other mother.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
She probably just came into a twenty eight million dollar settlement.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Oh could you imagine I'd lose my mind. I would
lose my mom.
Speaker 9 (16:42):
I don't think you'd ever call down. No, no, no,
And I would haunt her. I would haunt her me again.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
And I know it's like, oh, that's your mom because
she raised you.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
No, no, no, no, no no. Has she ever done
one of these?
Speaker 7 (16:59):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I don't think so.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
Just seems like a gift someone would have at some
point given her. Or would she be not trusting of
a system like this?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Well, I don't know. Is she hiding something? I'm just
saying in general? Would she be worried about giving her No?
I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't
like this uncomfortable. I love the idea of walking into
a settlement.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
But you haven't done a necessary step, so you just
don't love you, Diane. I had my results, but then
I chose not to share them, and I have since
had them requested to be deleted.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Right, oh, because of the breach. But still.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
We found out through no is this going to be
a good one? See that's the thing. Not every story
involves money. This one does. We found out that my
mother's father was not her father. He was my grandfather's
best friend. It went to the grave with all parties
(18:04):
reached out to the siblings and they do not want
to communicate because they have money, and I believe they
think my mother wants it.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
My mother just wants to learn about her roots, and
with them roots comes money.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
We haven't told the rest of the family. Please keep
this anonymous. It says that, oh, would you ever buy
that someone just cared about the genealogy?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
No? No, No, that's what's sad. Maybe they do that. No,
but yeah, I mean, yes, what do I think?
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Well, now I've figured out all the genealogy, what else
are we gonna talk about?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
The No?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
No, no cash, no, no, I do believe. I do
believe that people want to know the genealogy.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Yeah, or like pre existing conditions, maybe like health reasons.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Somebody contacts you.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Somebody contacts you, Diane and says, hey, I'm actually a
half brother.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
We did some tests, and you grew up thinking.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Pearl in In and Frank were your parents, and they
were like, we've done some some DNA testing and we
have some information.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Would you want to know that? Or no?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
No, so you'd rather just be dumb about it. I
would think I would doesn't make you love par less,
would always be suspicious. There's some ulterior motive.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
They want your money.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
No, they want concert tickets. Oh well, well now that
we're siblings.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Nash equivalent. These see this. This is making me very
uncomfortable because in my mind, I want to know was
Peter my real dad? Like if I told my mom
we're doing DNA testing, would she'd be like, ha manahamana,
hama hamina. But there's no way to test my dad, correct,
(19:54):
But you could test family. All his family's dead. They are, yeah,
that's happy Monday.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
No, No, like Jimi, he's dead. He had the brother Manitoba.
Mike never found he ran off and joined the Canadian
military and his sister is dead Hinda.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, I'm not sure that ye both. You know what's weird.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
My dad didn't stutter, but two of his siblings did.
Heimi did did did did, and so did Hinda.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
But would there be enough descendants to portray a tree
that leans towards Peter was the father?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
No? Are you sure? Who else? Would there be? Me
and my sister? No one else has children. Heimi didn't
have kids, Hinda didn't have kids. Oh and the one
that ran off. I don't know anything about them. Okay, yeah, no,
that's it. God, damn, I should call my sister.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Now you're thinking there's some money out there.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Diane, a fight.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Any finding out his dad is not his dad doesn't
open him up to another dad's wealth.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I bet that other dad didn't leave me debt.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
Yeah, there's two steps, because if you find out he's
not right, you then want to noble who is right?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
And then lestatically come with the answer about your dad. No, no,
And if that person isn't on ancestry, I would have
no way to know. That'd be my luck. What if
I'm related to Bill Gates by Ellie in the morning.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
My luck it's Mackenzie Scott and she's giving.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Away all my mother. God, I'm sorry, who is this?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Jason, Hey, what's going on? Jason?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
So I did twenty three and me after my grandmother
and her death, Pad tells my dad that his dad,
my grandfather, was not his real dad. She had an
affair in New York City in nineteen fifty six, gonna
find out a tiger boxer, Rocky That's where he announced
his retirement to Night fifty six. My dad was born
(22:07):
nine months later.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Your mom banged Rocky Marciano.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
My grandmother, Oh, your grandmother.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Banged Rocky Marciano or Graziano.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Gr see when there's the fame Componentah, that's good, you
get a money.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I'm not trying to reach out yet. I don't know
what to.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Say really well, hopefully, hopefully when you reach out to him,
the first thing he says is get this dirt off
of me. I think both rockies and you don't know
if it's Marciano or Graziano Marciana the name, yeah, but
that's but but that's not Sylvester Stallone like.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
That is a combination of a bunch of rockies.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
But it's still there were two in the history of boxing.
That's still a well known name.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Which was better? Or Marciano or Graziano? Those are famous.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
I don't know Graziano.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Do you know Marciano? My mom knew one of them?
Speaker 5 (23:10):
M I mean, did she know them or know them?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Dude, you're related to Rocky Marciano. I can't. Stunned into silence.
I don't I don't know. I don't know what to
do with the info.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Well, first, make sure when you start talking to those
he's survived by you are talking to the right family.
That would be an embarrassing blunder.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Well they probably. We used to get that all the time.
Are the Marcianos loaded? Probably was a different era. By
the way, did you see tangent for one second? Did
you see the boxer over the weekend? I can't remember.
He was fighting overseas somewhere and he took a body
blow and it so bad he crawled over to the
(24:02):
ropes and just started puking out the ropes.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Oh my god, it was and it is a fountain
of puke. Say again, Oh yeah, yeah, do you want
me to put it on this? Oh there he is?
Yeah all right?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Dan?
Speaker 9 (24:17):
Oh good, No, you gotta watch this guy chuck. Yeah,
he looks like he's in serious pain for the still shot.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
No, no, nobody looks great when they're vomited.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
All right, hold on, wait, we're not up here. Okay,
watch him here he is, watch them go. It's like
bloody or was it just like spaghetti?
Speaker 5 (24:40):
So that's it.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
That was the body blow right there, and it's not
that bad.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Tell that to the person sitting in the front row.
And we paid all that money. It just pukes all
over the place. The hell of a body blow?
Speaker 8 (24:54):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Where am I going? Christen Line four? Hi Ellie in
the morning?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Me?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (25:02):
This is Kat How are you?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I am doing great? Thank you? What can I do
for you?
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Hey? Twenty seventeen, after doing year years of paper genealogy,
tracing my family tree and all that happy stuff, I
did a DNA test and I was expecting to see
all this polish DNA on my father's side, and I
had none. So I went down the rabbit hole and
I was able to determine that my dad, who raised me,
(25:27):
is not my biological father. So I confronted my mother,
who at the time was seventy eight years old, oh boy.
She denied everything, and finally she broke down and confessed
that she had a one night stand and she had
no idea that I was not my father's child. And
(25:51):
she told me his name. And one thing that you
may not be aware of is you can locate and
determine who your biological father is even if your father
has not tested.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Oh how you well?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
You you after you test. You have matches with both
ancestry and twenty three and me, right, you can use
those matches and you build out trees based on your
DNA matches.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I gotcha, I got you.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
So somebody but other people in the family would have
had to have.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Done it as well.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Right, But it could be second cousins, it could be
third cousins, it could be people you don't even know about.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Okay, so get back to get back to you. So
your mom, your mom finally confesses.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
And was like, I had a one night stand, I
got knocked up.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Whatever did you ever? Did you ever find your biological dad?
Speaker 6 (26:41):
So interestingly enough I did and he is alive. He
was a little bit younger than my mom. My mom
was married at the time. My dad was in the navy.
This man I call him my bio father. He was
in the Navy at the time. My dad was out
to see this guy was around and I contacted him
(27:02):
and he hung up on me. So, being the stalker
that I am, I continued to call him and leave
nice little messages letting him know who I am, how
I contacted him, all that stuff. He'll have no contact
with me. Finally, my last attempt, I sent him a
beautiful two page letter all about me, my family, what
(27:23):
I do, blah blah blah, with a note saying I
want nothing from you. I will sign legal documents. I'm
not looking after your money, which, by the way, he
is very wealthy. He lives outside of Dallas.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Oh yeah, I want it.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
You know.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
I'm not out to screw anybody or take advantage of anybody.
I do well for myself and I just I want
to see where my nose comes from, where my feet
come from, where my personality comes from, because it wasn't
from my mother. So yeah, I have no contact with him.
I check the obits every once in a while, and
he's still living. I did reach out to one of
(28:01):
my half siblings and had a brief relationship with him,
but he's squarely as hell, So there's nothing on that
side for me.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Well, now, actually there is money you want it.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
I know.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
I'm very sad by that story because it's going to
ruin it for a lot of people that are in
my boat and similar stories. He's going to be afraid
to take a DNA test.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I ain't taking a DNA test.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
The But now let me ask you this though, if
he like, if you check the od bits and it
was like and he left behind ninety five million dollars,
now nobody has signed anything, wouldn't you swoop in and
go you know, I do some of that. Look at
this correspondence we had back in back in correspondence.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
Yeah, but I it's just me. I'm not entitled to anything.
I'm really not. And if all the siblings said, here,
take a billion dollars, yeah, I'd take it. But it's
it's not for me. It's not it's not mine. I
had nothing to do with this man. He wasn't in
my life. And I'm not entitled anything.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Oh yeah, I mean funny, funny, being mature, funny, how
the world works in it.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
And also she mentioned it's outside Dallas. The Texas whistle
is oh right.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Right, ma'am, I'll represent you and I'll take forty percent.
I know what, I'll take ninety percent since I know
you don't want anything.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I want a lot.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
That's my story.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
No, I appreciate it, Thank you, good luck. By the way,
don't confess to me on your deathbed. Like That's the
other part that bothers me is everybody who learns that
they're biological the person they thought was their biological you
find out is not your biological because somebody's on their deathbed.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
That take it to your grave like that that's on you,
Like this are.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
The only tales told when someone's dying. So again, people
reveal other things, not just yeah, don't familial relationship.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
But who are you? You're you're doing that for yourself.
I got to be alive for the rest of the time,
not knowing you're dead. You've always said that a deathbed
confession is selfish. It's very selfish.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I mean, the only kind of confession if you're gonna
make is I buried a lot of money and coffee
cans in the backyard. Like that's a good deathbed confession, right,
But none of the ones that send you into a tizzy.
That is so unfair. I'd rather you die and I'm dumb.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Take that with you.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
Yes that previous to this morning, you also always said
don't donate at the cash register again.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Campaign. It's important to admit fault, and maybe.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
The caller was onto something about people being afraid now
hearing this story to try an ancestry. But for other reasons,
Steam says, I'd rather find out my parents aren't my
parents than me learning I hooked up with a sibling.
What is your name?
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I'd rather not say.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Okay, can you tell can you tell me? Why?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, because I found out some information on ancestry that
kind of afford me. I found out my biological father
was it really my biological father?
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Oh, so you found out the person you thought was
your biological father is not your biological father.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
That's correct.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
But he still raised you, so you still consider him
your dad absolutely?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Right? Now, how did you how did you did you confront?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Well, so my mom passed away, so I couldn't confront.
But the guy who actually contacted me, my half brother.
He had asked me several questions. He said, don't you
think it's odd be first he approached me and he said,
I think we have stated dad.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I was like, no, I know who my dad is.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
He said, no, I think we have the same dad.
So he kept asking me questions that really made a
lot of sense. And he said, don't you think it's
odd that nobody on your dad's side shared the same DNA?
Speaker 4 (01:17):
And I thought, oh wow.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
And all of these people on his side I shared
DNA with and I thought, oh my god, So that's
how I found out. But his side of the family,
our dad, they're too afraid to tell him because he's
much older now and fragile, and they're afraid it's going
to kill him because he has this slove child, so
(01:40):
out of wedlock for both of them.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I gotcha.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
So your biological dad. Actually, now I'm going to ask
you a question in return, I just want to make
sure I have this right. Your biological dad does not
know that you exist.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You're a love child that just happened.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
That's correct, with your with your biological mom who has
since passed. Correct, now, just out of curiosity, your your dad,
your non biological dad, the man who raised you. Did
you ever say anything to him, like, hey, just FYI,
I know the deal?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Now he's dead too.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Oh oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So here I am like whirling and I have nobody
to talk to about it.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well, I'm glad I'm here.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
The But now let me ask you this the old
the biological father, that's old. Yeah, have you have you
made and other than the half brother who contacted you,
have you made any contact with the biological old man's family.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
So I am in touch with the guy who contacted
me for actually developing a relationship. So, but there are
four other siblings and they are in shock and so
far don't want to have contact with me.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Do you know anything about the biological old man other
than that he's old and in questionable health. No.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I know that they worked at the same place in Baltimore,
and I can kind of put pieces together, But the
only person who really knows the story is him, and
I would love to talk to him, but I can't.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You keep saying you can't. Yes, you can, but well.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm afraid I'll kill him too. If they think he's
so proudile, I'm afraid I'll kill him.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Yeah, let me.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Can we roleplay something for a second. Sure, Let's say
you call him and you're like, hey, i'm your daughter.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Through you had that affair with whatever your mom's name was, right,
you had sex with her, she got pregnant, and I
know that you didn't know about me. But I am
your I am your biological daughter.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Do you become eligible to receive some kind of like
what's the word that I'm looking for when somebody dies inheritance?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Like an inheritance?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Maybe, but I don't.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I mean, like, I.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Don't want anything like that. I'm not I'm not there
to like, you know, take a piece of the pie.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Are you saying that she'd be accused of not coming
out of the woodwork, but wanting him to be so
shocked and he is so fragile that maybe he would
die soon after and then she would get something.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
But you said you wouldn't want anything. No, what if
he was worth tens of millions of dollars? Okay, well
that might change it. Now, are you interested?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I mean, you know, I didn't know he existed before,
so not really help.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I didn't know I'd won the lottery until I bought
a ticket.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
True, thank you.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
You're saying a lot of things I would like not
included in the court case.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
No, no, but.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Even if, even if, even if the the so here's
here's the story that I'm getting at.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Hey, thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Hey, by the way, if you end up making contact,
you got to let me know how that goes.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I will thank you, all right, Very good, very good.
I'm glad you could be someone for her to chat
about it with. And I'm happy to do that for anybody.
I wasn't expecting that this shoulder right here is for anyone.
I thought it was going to be another year I
got wet ears.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
So here's here's the story. A woman from Massachusetts ends
up on like not ends up, but went through twenty
three in me. This goes back a couple of years
ago and through twenty three and me. She finds that
she has two sisters and a different father.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
She reaches out to them. Okay, when she reaches out.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
To them, her name is Her name is Carmen. She's
twenty eight years old. She got a DNA test done
in February of twenty twenty three, which led her to
find her biological father and her half sister.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Sounds very similar, right.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Dad had sex with Carmen's mom and whatever. So when
Carmen connected with her biological sisters, she found out that
her biological father had actually died five years earlier from
an undiagnosed aneurysm. Okay, the father had gone to the hospital,
(07:07):
and there was a whole series of errors that at
the hospital that the family beliefs could have, if treated properly,
could have prevented the.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Man from dying. Well that's even sadder, of course it is.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
And the family was right, oh, okay, and the family
won a twenty eight million dollar settlement from the hospital.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
And now the twenty three and Negro wants her portion.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Hello. Hello, is my dad too? I want Diana to
be one of those sisters.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Hello, Hello, Now she contacted the family after death, before settlement.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Okay, so she didn't know that they were going to
come into this money.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
No, but.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
But now that they have, and you know, and I guess,
the father had always said, whatever I have will go
to the family.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And so in this settlement from the hospital or the lawsuit,
excuse me, from the hospital, that money goes to his daughters.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Are we able to and you may know the timeline
or perhaps not, but are we able to completely discredit
a claim that she maybe knew there was potential wrongdoing
at the hospital. She didn't know, so she but she
but she found out he died. It wasn't through like
newspaper articles. Correct, it talked about the family. He had
(08:43):
died five years before that.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
But thinking that the hospital had screwed up her No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
not that I know of, not that I know.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
So her now she did file a lawsuit because she
wants her cash against the sisters, her sister.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
So instead of it going two ways, it should be
split three ways.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Thank you, But you are buying that her arrival and
the timing of her showing up for this family totally
happenstance should be alive, the dad could be dead. The
dad could not have whose his estate, couldn't have won
the money. Exactly, It's just it happened to be when
it was.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I found out from twenty three and me, I went
on a hunt. I made a connection.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Almost sounds like an ad for their sales today.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
So she sued the siblings. Is that still in court?
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Nope, it's settled or a judgment's been made.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The two sisters, knowing they were on the hook, reached
the settlement with the twenty three and me sibling and
told her number one, shut your pie hole, Number two,
here's your money.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Go away. But they didn't disclose the terms.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
No gonna be less than she was due, right, So
imagine you're twenty eight divided by three is what seven eight,
nine nine million?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
So she didn't get nine million. They were that convinced
she was gonna win. They paid her off. Clearly, they
paid her off. Even if they paid her five or
do we think it was much less? I would bet
everything she won that it was less.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
But even if it was even if it was five million,
you're still four million ahead of the.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Game because you put the fear of God in them
and say you can't afford to have this fight with
us in court. Yeah, it's going to bankrupt you. And
if you don't win, then you're then you get on
the street, right, or you get nothing, or here's ten dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I'll take ten, I'll take it. I'll take it. How
about that? Wow? So if you if you, if you are,
if you are sibling, you are entitled.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
So go back to that original I'll call her who
told her that the father was so fragile and.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
The half brother, the one brother that she's talking to, right,
but he.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Did originally reach out to her, right, Yeah, okay, so
he brought her into this. It wasn't the other way
where she contacted him.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Well, I bet all those siblings would still argue she's
not doing any money.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Well, okay, but I'm just saying you, if you were
that dumb to introduce another party into a wealthy situation.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
That's on you. Yeah, then you should get financially punished.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
She is Diane's favorite of discipline. I like that.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
This is the first thing that I've read where I've
been like, I may have to get an ancestory a cab.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Hi Elliott the morning, Hey, Elliott's cap. Yes, who I'm sorry?
Speaker 8 (11:58):
Who is this Kelly?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 8 (12:02):
So I've done tons of digging on ancestry. I actually
got my dad a DNA kid, probably like seven years ago.
And then it came back with saying that because he
wanted more about his so called father, but it turned
out to be his the father who raised him, not
his actual biological father. And then once I put the
(12:24):
pieces together because I'm the youngest out of I'm the
second youngest out of twenty cousins, which I started putting
the pieces together with a couple of the cousins asking questions.
It turns out one of the guys that lived with
my grandmother was my dad's biological brother, our biological father.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Would I be.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Shocked to find out how many people don't know who
their biological parent is.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I always am every time we hear a story, So
did you make did you connect?
Speaker 8 (12:58):
I actually knew my biologe to go grandfather growing up
and went to our sceneal and everything. We didn't know
that that was my grandfather though until I started digging.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So you who did you think it was?
Speaker 8 (13:12):
I thought it was it was the gentleman who died
before my mom and dad got ever got married.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh I got you, I got you. Did you get
you get any money? That? No?
Speaker 8 (13:23):
But I told my dad about it, and he resents
it even to this day that the guy who lived
my grandmother when he passed was you know he was
That's not My dad was like, well, no, it's the
guy the guy got the guy that raised you. But
he's like, yeah, but he's not. He still resents it
and it's hard. But so my dad is one of seven,
and with all of my digging so far, I've come
up with he still has three living siblings. And it's
(13:49):
been a fun roller coaster because I found out that
Grandma has been busy with the three other gentlemen so
far because my dad has half siblings.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Love of strange sperm.
Speaker 8 (14:02):
Well, it's gonna be fun when I figure out the
other two, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
But now you know what's rattling in my head.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Listen, Like I got from my the man that I
thought was my dad, I got his debt. The woman
that I think is my mom, I'm getting, I'm I
actually write.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
A check too. What if? What if I have no
way of knowing whether they really are or aren't.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Well with your mom, you still have a chance and
you could probably get some sort of remains for your father,
right he.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Was was he He's cremated, but he's scattered.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Now can you get if you have an urn, can
you get DNA from cremains?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah, because aren't there bone fragments in there? Or are
they all burned out? I don't know. I am not
a It.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Is extremely difficult to get DNA from cremative Verman Jesus Christ,
and that search will definitely be flagged.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Diane, let me ask you this, and Frank is past.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
You cannot say with one hundred percent certainty Frank was
your dad.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
I mean, the resemblance is there.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
You cannot with one hundred percent certainty say that Frank
was your dad. Now, frank In and Pearl could with
one hundred percent certainty say Diane is our daughter. Right
like with my kids, I am one hundred percent their father.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Did Jackie have an affair at the same time I
was trying to get Jackie pregnant.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
So babies get switched to the hospitals. The well, there's
that's a nice wrinkle.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
So you unless you are taking tests, no, you can't
say with complete certainty.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And when kids are born, they don't DNA test you.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
No, not unless there's a request.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I gotta get on ancestry. Seriously, doesn't it make you question.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
How angry would Elliott be Diane if he found.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Out that his mother was not his mother?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Oh, like you don't, Oh and watch the other mother.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
She probably just came into a twenty eight million dollar settlement.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Oh could you imagine I'd lose my mind. I would
lose my mom.
Speaker 9 (16:42):
I don't think you'd ever call down. No, no, no,
And I would haunt her. I would haunt her me again.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
And I know it's like, oh, that's your mom because
she raised you.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
No, no, no, no, no no. Has she ever done
one of these?
Speaker 7 (16:59):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I don't think so.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
Just seems like a gift someone would have at some
point given her. Or would she be not trusting of
a system like this?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Well, I don't know. Is she hiding something? I'm just
saying in general? Would she be worried about giving her No?
I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't
like this uncomfortable. I love the idea of walking into
a settlement.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
But you haven't done a necessary step, so you just
don't love you, Diane. I had my results, but then
I chose not to share them, and I have since
had them requested to be deleted.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Right, oh, because of the breach. But still.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
We found out through no is this going to be
a good one? See that's the thing. Not every story
involves money. This one does. We found out that my
mother's father was not her father. He was my grandfather's
best friend. It went to the grave with all parties
(18:04):
reached out to the siblings and they do not want
to communicate because they have money, and I believe they
think my mother wants it.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
My mother just wants to learn about her roots, and
with them roots comes money.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
We haven't told the rest of the family. Please keep
this anonymous. It says that, oh, would you ever buy
that someone just cared about the genealogy?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
No? No, No, that's what's sad. Maybe they do that. No,
but yeah, I mean, yes, what do I think?
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Well, now I've figured out all the genealogy, what else
are we gonna talk about?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
The No?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
No, no cash, no, no, I do believe. I do
believe that people want to know the genealogy.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Yeah, or like pre existing conditions, maybe like health reasons.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Somebody contacts you.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Somebody contacts you, Diane and says, hey, I'm actually a
half brother.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
We did some tests, and you grew up thinking.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Pearl in In and Frank were your parents, and they
were like, we've done some some DNA testing and we
have some information.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Would you want to know that? Or no?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
No, so you'd rather just be dumb about it. I
would think I would doesn't make you love par less,
would always be suspicious. There's some ulterior motive.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
They want your money.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
No, they want concert tickets. Oh well, well now that
we're siblings.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Nash equivalent. These see this. This is making me very
uncomfortable because in my mind, I want to know was
Peter my real dad? Like if I told my mom
we're doing DNA testing, would she'd be like, ha manahamana,
hama hamina. But there's no way to test my dad, correct,
(19:54):
But you could test family. All his family's dead. They are, yeah,
that's happy Monday.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
No, No, like Jimi, he's dead. He had the brother Manitoba.
Mike never found he ran off and joined the Canadian
military and his sister is dead Hinda.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, I'm not sure that ye both. You know what's weird.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
My dad didn't stutter, but two of his siblings did.
Heimi did did did did, and so did Hinda.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
But would there be enough descendants to portray a tree
that leans towards Peter was the father?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
No? Are you sure? Who else? Would there be? Me
and my sister? No one else has children. Heimi didn't
have kids, Hinda didn't have kids. Oh and the one
that ran off. I don't know anything about them. Okay, yeah, no,
that's it. God, damn, I should call my sister.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Now you're thinking there's some money out there.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Diane, a fight.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Any finding out his dad is not his dad doesn't
open him up to another dad's wealth.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I bet that other dad didn't leave me debt.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
Yeah, there's two steps, because if you find out he's
not right, you then want to noble who is right?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
And then lestatically come with the answer about your dad. No, no,
And if that person isn't on ancestry, I would have
no way to know. That'd be my luck. What if
I'm related to Bill Gates by Ellie in the morning.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
My luck it's Mackenzie Scott and she's giving.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Away all my mother. God, I'm sorry, who is this?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Jason, Hey, what's going on? Jason?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
So I did twenty three and me after my grandmother
and her death, Pad tells my dad that his dad,
my grandfather, was not his real dad. She had an
affair in New York City in nineteen fifty six, gonna
find out a tiger boxer, Rocky That's where he announced
his retirement to Night fifty six. My dad was born
(22:07):
nine months later.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Your mom banged Rocky Marciano.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
My grandmother, Oh, your grandmother.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Banged Rocky Marciano or Graziano.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Gr see when there's the fame Componentah, that's good, you
get a money.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I'm not trying to reach out yet. I don't know
what to.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Say really well, hopefully, hopefully when you reach out to him,
the first thing he says is get this dirt off
of me. I think both rockies and you don't know
if it's Marciano or Graziano Marciana the name, yeah, but
that's but but that's not Sylvester Stallone like.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
That is a combination of a bunch of rockies.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
But it's still there were two in the history of boxing.
That's still a well known name.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Which was better? Or Marciano or Graziano? Those are famous.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
I don't know Graziano.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Do you know Marciano? My mom knew one of them?
Speaker 5 (23:10):
M I mean, did she know them or know them?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Dude, you're related to Rocky Marciano. I can't. Stunned into silence.
I don't I don't know. I don't know what to
do with the info.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Well, first, make sure when you start talking to those
he's survived by you are talking to the right family.
That would be an embarrassing blunder.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Well they probably. We used to get that all the time.
Are the Marcianos loaded? Probably was a different era. By
the way, did you see tangent for one second? Did
you see the boxer over the weekend? I can't remember.
He was fighting overseas somewhere and he took a body
blow and it so bad he crawled over to the
(24:02):
ropes and just started puking out the ropes.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Oh my god, it was and it is a fountain
of puke. Say again, Oh yeah, yeah, do you want
me to put it on this? Oh there he is?
Yeah all right?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Dan?
Speaker 9 (24:17):
Oh good, No, you gotta watch this guy chuck. Yeah,
he looks like he's in serious pain for the still shot.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
No, no, nobody looks great when they're vomited.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
All right, hold on, wait, we're not up here. Okay,
watch him here he is, watch them go. It's like
bloody or was it just like spaghetti?
Speaker 5 (24:40):
So that's it.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
That was the body blow right there, and it's not
that bad.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Tell that to the person sitting in the front row.
And we paid all that money. It just pukes all
over the place. The hell of a body blow?
Speaker 8 (24:54):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Where am I going? Christen Line four? Hi Ellie in
the morning?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Me?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (25:02):
This is Kat How are you?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I am doing great? Thank you? What can I do
for you?
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Hey? Twenty seventeen, after doing year years of paper genealogy,
tracing my family tree and all that happy stuff, I
did a DNA test and I was expecting to see
all this polish DNA on my father's side, and I
had none. So I went down the rabbit hole and
I was able to determine that my dad, who raised me,
(25:27):
is not my biological father. So I confronted my mother,
who at the time was seventy eight years old, oh boy.
She denied everything, and finally she broke down and confessed
that she had a one night stand and she had
no idea that I was not my father's child. And
(25:51):
she told me his name. And one thing that you
may not be aware of is you can locate and
determine who your biological father is even if your father
has not tested.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Oh how you well?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
You you after you test. You have matches with both
ancestry and twenty three and me, right, you can use
those matches and you build out trees based on your
DNA matches.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I gotcha, I got you.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
So somebody but other people in the family would have
had to have.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Done it as well.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Right, But it could be second cousins, it could be
third cousins, it could be people you don't even know about.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Okay, so get back to get back to you. So
your mom, your mom finally confesses.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
And was like, I had a one night stand, I
got knocked up.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Whatever did you ever? Did you ever find your biological dad?
Speaker 6 (26:41):
So interestingly enough I did and he is alive. He
was a little bit younger than my mom. My mom
was married at the time. My dad was in the navy.
This man I call him my bio father. He was
in the Navy at the time. My dad was out
to see this guy was around and I contacted him
(27:02):
and he hung up on me. So, being the stalker
that I am, I continued to call him and leave
nice little messages letting him know who I am, how
I contacted him, all that stuff. He'll have no contact
with me. Finally, my last attempt, I sent him a
beautiful two page letter all about me, my family, what
(27:23):
I do, blah blah blah, with a note saying I
want nothing from you. I will sign legal documents. I'm
not looking after your money, which, by the way, he
is very wealthy. He lives outside of Dallas.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Oh yeah, I want it.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
You know.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
I'm not out to screw anybody or take advantage of anybody.
I do well for myself and I just I want
to see where my nose comes from, where my feet
come from, where my personality comes from, because it wasn't
from my mother. So yeah, I have no contact with him.
I check the obits every once in a while, and
he's still living. I did reach out to one of
(28:01):
my half siblings and had a brief relationship with him,
but he's squarely as hell, So there's nothing on that
side for me.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Well, now, actually there is money you want it.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
I know.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
I'm very sad by that story because it's going to
ruin it for a lot of people that are in
my boat and similar stories. He's going to be afraid
to take a DNA test.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I ain't taking a DNA test.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
The But now let me ask you this though, if
he like, if you check the od bits and it
was like and he left behind ninety five million dollars,
now nobody has signed anything, wouldn't you swoop in and
go you know, I do some of that. Look at
this correspondence we had back in back in correspondence.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
Yeah, but I it's just me. I'm not entitled to anything.
I'm really not. And if all the siblings said, here,
take a billion dollars, yeah, I'd take it. But it's
it's not for me. It's not it's not mine. I
had nothing to do with this man. He wasn't in
my life. And I'm not entitled anything.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Oh yeah, I mean funny, funny, being mature, funny, how
the world works in it.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
And also she mentioned it's outside Dallas. The Texas whistle
is oh right.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Right, ma'am, I'll represent you and I'll take forty percent.
I know what, I'll take ninety percent since I know
you don't want anything.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I want a lot.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
That's my story.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
No, I appreciate it, Thank you, good luck. By the way,
don't confess to me on your deathbed. Like That's the
other part that bothers me is everybody who learns that
they're biological the person they thought was their biological you
find out is not your biological because somebody's on their deathbed.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
That take it to your grave like that that's on you,
Like this are.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
The only tales told when someone's dying. So again, people
reveal other things, not just yeah, don't familial relationship.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
But who are you? You're you're doing that for yourself.
I got to be alive for the rest of the time,
not knowing you're dead. You've always said that a deathbed
confession is selfish. It's very selfish.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I mean, the only kind of confession if you're gonna
make is I buried a lot of money and coffee
cans in the backyard. Like that's a good deathbed confession, right,
But none of the ones that send you into a tizzy.
That is so unfair. I'd rather you die and I'm dumb.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Take that with you.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
Yes that previous to this morning, you also always said
don't donate at the cash register again.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Campaign. It's important to admit fault, and maybe.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
The caller was onto something about people being afraid now
hearing this story to try an ancestry. But for other reasons,
Steam says, I'd rather find out my parents aren't my
parents than me learning I hooked up with a sibling.

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
