Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now this morning show in Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Billie and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's just a great start to my day on kids.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Wunna wait, well, good morning everybody. Welcome in Happy Thursday.
It is August twenty eighth. Welcome to the Billy and
Lisa Morning Show. We very rarely start the morning show
on a sad or tragic note, but I feel as though, Lisa,
we have to at least acknowledge and mention the horrible
(00:29):
mass shooting in Minneapolis yesterday at a Catholic school.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
We do.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
It was so tragic. Two people were killed, seventeen people injured.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, and we just want to say our thoughts in
prayers go out to the victims' families there certainly the
families of the young children who are in the hospital
this morning. And by the way, thoughts and prayers. This
was the very first week of school there, possibly the
first day of school for some of these young kids.
They were praying when shots rang out, And yeah, I mean,
(01:02):
I've got a lot of it in the newscast, but
also a shout out and thoughts and prayers to parents
who are listening right now and who might be driving
their kids to school. So we just wanted to get
that in early. Well, said Bill, Yeah, I got really
emotional right when you said that about the praying. That's
when I saw the story yesterday. I just I got
(01:24):
very emotional about it, especially if you have kids, and
there's just no words.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
They hit home for me because I went to a
Catholic elementary school, so we went, we went to church
the first week of school and your parents, some parents
have got my mom will come. So my mom and
I were talking about yesterday. I can't. I mean, all
school shootings are tragedy, but I just I actually kind
of felt it more this time because I literally lived that.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
But yeah, Bill will have the latest in his news
right before seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, it really hit me when the ten year old
was interviewed and was talking about how one of his
best friends was shot in the back right next to him,
and then his other friend lied on top of him
to protect him, and that friend was shot. But it's
expected to survive, I guess, but just a horrible situation.
We just wanted to get that out there. Okay, And uh, Lisa,
(02:16):
you've got a book club event tonight.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I do.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
It's Jody Pico and we're super excited for it. It's
going to be a big night live and doors open
at five o'clock. Expect a line. So that's why we're
opening up the doors a little bit earlier than six
because of the Mel Robbins event that we had there.
Oh yeah, people were, people were in line around the block,
so trying to get people more time to get in
(02:40):

Last time when it was free, it was free.
Speaker 6 (02:48):

just like all these poor people and I but I
booked to the door.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
People were yelling out to us, you know, Billy and Lisa,
could you get us?
Speaker 6 (03:01):
It was bitterly They stood in line for like forty minutes.
And that's where we're doing it a little differently this year.

I don't even know how to turn them on.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
I'll help you set them up there. They're cool though.

in the glass case, they automatically start drying.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
It's very cool.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Yeah, it's it's it's really cool. But the real reason
that Billy is gonna the use he's gonna have is Africa.
He's going to Africa next month in October. And it'll
be great for the animals because you can just snap
the picture right from the glasses.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
What if I spook an animal, like a lion, like
hit a button the wrong button on the glasses and
it freaks out the lion.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
It's starts charging the Islance.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
It's totally silent.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
There are flashing lights and everything.

Now there's one little light to know you're recording, because
let's be honest, you can use these and then kind
of you.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Know, sure way, yes, yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:46):

tape over the lights so you don't see it. I'll

Big Night Live, Jody Pica will be there and we

exciting doors open at five.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Okay. Meantime, we've got an interesting sperm donor store. You
don't get a lot of sperm donor talk on the
Billy and Lisa Morning Show. But we're going to talk
about it right now because not too long ago we
received this talk back.
Speaker 9 (07:48):
Good morning, Morning crew.
Speaker 10 (07:49):
I have a crazy story and I'd love to discuss
it with you guys. I called in many years ago
about this and Lisa was super nice about it. The
plot has thickened. I was created via spur donation, and
I just recently found my sister's sperm dad because we
had different ones and there's.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
A lot of drama going on within that family now.
Speaker 10 (08:07):
But I only listen to Little seven in the morning
and that's when I get to work, So let me know.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
If I should call in, which is why we wanted
to get it in before seven o'clock. And now Sammy
is calling in. Sammy you there, Hi?
Speaker 9 (08:19):
Yeah, Good morning everyone.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Well, good morning Sammy. We have so many questions a Lisa,
you want to start.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Okay, Sammy, I remember when you called in years ago,
and I knew a family that had a similar situation
where the two girls had different dads because they were,
you know, a product of a sperm donating situation. So
your situation is that your sister has a different father
than you, but she was able to through DNA testing
(08:44):
find out who her dad was.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Yeah, okay, So and then you said that there was
some sort of situation with that family of the dad drama.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
We want to know about the drama.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Yeah, so what happened?
Speaker 9 (08:59):
Well, yeah, so we found out in twenty nineteen because
I started getting really interested in our family history and
I asked for Christmas for a DNA test and my
parents didn't get it for me, and I was like,
come on, this was the cheapest thing on my list here,
and so I did the test. My parents were like,
all right, we need to sit you down, and I
(09:20):
was like, oh boy. And basically they just told us
that my dad has assistic fibrosis gene so he couldn't
have children. So they used the firm donor for my sister,
but then that donor removed his firm from the bank,
so they had to use a different one for me.
And so I was interested in learning about what my
(09:42):
dad looked like. And really that's all I cared about
was what he looked like and any medical issues that
maybe he had or something, just like to have that
for reference. And my sister had no interest in learning
about her, but of course I wanted to know of course,
we did these tests. We did these tests many years ago,
(10:02):
and on her DNA test, it showed up that she
had two half sisters. But CNA is like very interesting
because you don't always know, Like it could say that
they're a half sister, but they could be something else.
So recently I decided to dive back into it, and
I looked on her thing and it said that this
person was a half sister. But I soon realized that
(10:25):
this was actually her grandmother. So when I realized it
was her grandmother, I mean, it's so easy to do
this stuff, like people don't realize. You just look up
their obituary and you see all of the family members
that are still around, and then you can make your
family trees. And basically I found her there were three
sons from that woman. And basically I reached out to
(10:48):
this girl that was one of the guy's daughters and
I said, hey, listen, my sister was conceived via sperm
donation and we're just kind of kind of trying to
figure out like was it your dad or was it
one of your uncles, blah blah blah. And I sent
her a screenshot of the description and she was like, uh,
that's my dad. So basically we found out that she
(11:13):
is a half sister of my sister. So she took
it really well. She's a really nice girl. She's a
little bit younger than me, and she said she's she's
so interested, but her sister.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Not so much.
Speaker 9 (11:30):
She's very mad at me. She actually sent me a
pretty angry message this morning and then unsent it. So
I know that she's upset, and so I reached out
to that girl, the other girl again, and I was like, listen,
I'm once again, I'm so sorry, like and she was
just like, no, my sister's just really sensitive to this stuff,
like just don't worry about it, like she'll be fine.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Well what about the dad. Where is he?
Speaker 9 (11:56):
So so they live in Virginia. Yeah, these people are
all over the place.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
Well there was.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Spreading their sperm all over the place, their seed, Yeah, yeah,
spreading it everywhere.
Speaker 9 (12:08):
So he is really I mean he basically told the
daughter like listen, yeah that happened, Like he was open
and honest about it when she asked, and he was
just like, we were going to tell you eventually, but
like we did remove it once we wanted to start
having a family, which all makes sense why we couldn't
use it for me.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Now, do you have a relationship at all with your
sperm dad?
Speaker 8 (12:30):
No?
Speaker 9 (12:30):
So I did find his phone number from White Stages
back in twenty nineteen. You can find anything, guys. The
internet is crazy. But I did reach out to him
and I basically told him like, thank you for you know, donating,
like there are like nine of us, there's a bunch
of children of yours running around, but thank you for donating,
(12:54):
and like, I just want to keep your phone number
in case I ever have like a medical question. And
he definitely was not as interested as I was at
the time. But I kind of understand why. I thought
we're just we're just connection.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
So I understand the medical stuff. I would I would
want to know too. I would want to know everything
about my medical history. But I have a question about
paternity situations, like do these sperm donors do they are
they protected from any sort of financial obligation to the
children that they've fathered.
Speaker 9 (13:25):
Right, So it's it's tricky, I believe. I mean, I
don't know if a sperm child could in fact go
after their sperm dot and say give me money or
something if they find them. But a lot of these
donors back in the day donated and they didn't think
that anyone would find them.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
They yeah, now that's Sammy.
Speaker 9 (13:46):
You would put on their saying that we do not
want to be contacted, we want to remain anonymous, we
do not want to be part of their lives. So
now with the DNA, like anyone can find anyone. It's
it's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's Jammy. I'm going to caution you, but Winnie has
a question.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
It's actually not weird. What do your parents and your
sister think of you doing all this? Because I feel
like the three of them are probably just like they
it was, you know, aren't we enough?
Speaker 8 (14:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 9 (14:14):
Right, So my mom loved it. She won't admit it,
but she she loves it. She's always asking me questions.
She's like, I can't believe you found this and this
and this, and she finds it very interesting. Obviously, my
dad is weird about it. I mean like, I'm sure
he feels awkward. But the guy waited nineteen years to
(14:34):
tell me that this even happened. So I'm going to
do my own reason.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
Guy always the guy.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
But you have to put yourself in your shoes, Like
if that happened to me, I would absolutely want to
know my father was or at least find out some information.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
But I guess to the point, and my.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
Dad is my dad, like he is my dad. I
like he will always be my dad. That's just the genetics.
I find it's so fascinating.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Well I can see is I can, honest you see
a side though. I feel like with men, it's more
prideful like that he couldn't obviously produce children, and that's
probably what it is more than anything. You know, it's
not situation where it was like a lesbian couple or
you know, a gay couple it was.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
But I think it's good like for like you said,
for for medical reasons and then if you have children too.
It's just sort of you want to have as much
information as possible.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Sammy, I gotta ask you have a job or something
because you seem very This takes a lot of time,
doesn't it.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
I know, I really should like switch careers.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I mean, I've investigating make it your career.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Yeah, it is so cool what you can find. And
also my grandfather was adopted, so I've recently been trying
to see if I can find his original family, but
my grandparents were like, stop doing this.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
I can't stop it.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yeah, Sammy, thank you so much for the story and
thanks for calling in early.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Oh my god. Yeah, don't cross Sammy because she'll find you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
From the Planet Fitness, Kiss one Away Studios, we we're
back with Billy and Lisa in the morning on Hit one.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
O eight.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Now the entertainment update with a Billy Constant.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Okay, So, Taylor Swift continues to dominate the buzz stories.
The numbers are staggering when you think of it. The
engagement announcement the other day had over fourteen million likes
and has over fourteen million so far. Taylor's engagement dress
crashed the Ralph Laurenz website. The dress all sizes sold
(16:33):
out in minutes.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
Right.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I love that it was actually still available, so it
was kind of like off the rack. It was like
three hundred and ninety eight dollars to start. It was
on sale for three nineteen, so I thought that was
really cool. And then Travis was also wearing Ralph Laurent
too in the picture, so it was nice.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I think it's really cool that her engagement dress was
only about three hundred y.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And it was.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
Yeah, it was basically off the rack.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
And she probably got it for free anyway. But still,
it's the message she sent out that it's like three
hundred under for the dress.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Yeah, Raffloren's having a resurgence.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I bet they are.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
I still do. I just love the quality of it.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, yeah, Okay. Travis's dad, Ed Kelsey doing most of
the talking about the actual engagement, what was said, how
it went down here, he.
Speaker 11 (17:20):
Is floral garden around the gazebo. You got her out there, Jenerary,
so let's go and have a glass of wine. And
she got out there and they got out there and
that's when that's when he asked her. News beautiful.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
He's doing God's work. Somebody's got to heal. Yeah, he's
just telling us what happened. And honestly, I feel like
Taylor and Travis know who his dad is.
Speaker 9 (17:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
I actually really like it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It's so wholesome.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, and I like that the engagement was very understated. Yes,
you know, like it's not over the top madness. It
was very understated.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
Well.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Page six is reporting in the Post at the wedding,
according to sources, will be very casual and small. Well
it's not going to be like the royal wedding type,
you know, over the top.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
We should ask ed Kelsey how the wedding talking.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
About it, they'll give us details.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Probably already knows where the bachelor and bachelorette party.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Is, what she's going to be wearing.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Yeah, I think it should be at Arrowhead. I know
that it's going to be small and casual but overstated
Arrowhead Stadium.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
But I wonder if Ralph Lauren will design the wedding game.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Oh, I feel like she shouldn't be like Vera Wang
or something for a wedding game.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Oh I know, But.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Did I dream this? Wasn't it Justin Bieber or somebody
that proposed in a football stadium?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It was Kanye Yes, and I think it's baseball.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
It was like a baseball stadium Dodger Yah, yeah, I
did see a Las Vegas strip club has officially offered
a co ed bachelor party to Travis and Taylor.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Oh, all right, something to think about it.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
I don't thinking accept.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, well, we'll have to check in with Ed. Yeah,
it is the joke. Oh my god. By the way,
Flavor Flav wants to officiate the wedding. My girl Taylor
is engaged to my boy.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
I'm stoked.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I can't wait for the wedding. Not only that, but
when y'all get married, let.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Your boy flavor Flav be the officiator.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I would love to officiate the wedding. You know what
I said?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Okay, labor flame. So a Taylor fan found an old
interview clip where the interviewer actually joked that Taylor wouldn't
get married until she was thirty five.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Easick is where I'm always going to be personal. I
don't hold anything back in that.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
So we're not gonna find out until you're married.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
And your mom's here.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
So mom not allowed to get married till she's thirty five.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And that's the way it works.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
No, it's late in life.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
And now Taylor is thirty five and she's getting married. Well,
we assume maybe this year. Who knows, just maybe not.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Well, should be thirty six in December, so she'll probably
thirty six, okay.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
And speaking of Taylor, by the numbers we all know
by now, she loves the number thirteen. She appeared on
the Kelsey podcast August thirteenth, we knew that she and
Travis announced their engagement thirteen days later August twenty sixth
We know that, And that's thirty nine days, thirteen times three,
with the album set to drop October thirty. Now, I
(20:32):
don't know how it's spinning. Who got digs in and
finds all of this numerology fifties, but it's kind of cool.
And the instagram came out one o'clock PM, which, for
the record, is thirteen one hundred military time.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Oh my god, guys, I can I don't think everything's
that cryptic.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I don't know. Oh and by the way, one o'clock
also looks like one hundred. And I love this one,
which is the sum of Kelsey's jersey number eighty seven
and Taylor's favorite number thirteen. Man, you impressed oney that
I'm onto all this.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
This, this is a this is kind of a Bill
thing too. Well. He has a fascination with numbers. Yeah
we know, oh yeah, big time.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
The Avengers Endgame movie crushed it, taking in more than
a billion dollars worldwide, three hundred and fifty million in
North America, one hundred and eighty five million in US
more than five thirty million. It just keeps going without numbers,
where would we be a couple of album teasers to
(21:34):
talk about. Rihanna updated her profile picture and a headset
with her album titles and number nine could be on
the way. How many times are they going to tease
Rihanna coming out with music and then nothing happens.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
She's about to have another baby.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
I don't think it's an album promo honestly, but could be.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Yeah, Ariana Grande is teasing either an album, a tour
or both. In twenty twenty six, it has to.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Be a tour. It said see you later or see
you next year.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
I can't wait.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I cannot wait. Like she's been away for too long.
I mean, I know she's released music, but she needs
to tour.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I think the last time I saw her on stage
was at like Kiss concert, like twenty sixteen, and I'm like.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, boy, that's a good concert, huh.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
I alive with the Garden. She was really good. Yeah,
you know how many people were there.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Fifty thousand people? Friday really backed in and you know
how everybody on tour now is bringing other people on
stage who would alreadyan to bring on.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Oh maybe Cynthia Rivo. Yeah, I mean she's collabed with
a lot of people. Well maybe she could research what's oh,
I never mind, what's her name? There's Australian rappers talking
about they were going together.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yeah, yeah, problem, Okay. Hey, tomorrow is New Music Friday
on the Billy and Lisa Morning Show, and I guess
Justin will be playing a lot of clips from this
Brina album.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Absolutely absolutely all day.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
All right, look forward to that New Music Friday. That's
your gig. And also tomorrow is the Big Friday Show.
Michael Bivens is going to join us on the show tomorrow.
Why because don't forget. It's a new Edition Day in
Boston this coming Saturday. And Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordan Hudson
(23:23):
is taking total ownership of the term gold digger. I
kind of appreciate this that she's going to own it.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Yeah, she's all in with this. So she wants to
use this trademark basically on jewelry and key chains.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
She wants to make money.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Yep, she's a hustler.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I'm actually surprised that it's never been trademarked. Before you
think about it.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I would have felt like Kanye would.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Have Yay, I mean, I mean, you can file it.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
It doesn't mean it's going to happen, right, But.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
How many have she filed so far?
Speaker 4 (23:56):
She filed chapel bill, no days off, the bell A
check Way, among others.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Wow, I'm always ready to attack the unsuspecting man. Her
weapons are, her looks, her personality?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Are you justin? Can I please rehair the talkback? I
think it was from yesterday on Jordan Hudson.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
It was about Winnie and Jordan are invited to the
same event that's coming up, and the question was Whinnie's
going Will Jordan Hudson show up?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Good morning, Billy and Lisa Crew. I can totally see
Jordan showing up to this baby shower. She's pretty well
known for showing up in places that she's not welcome
because she's an insufferable bitch. Rage.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
That's definitely gonna be in the top ten.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
The end of the year.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Talking what's behind that is the story?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
That's some serious anger. Hey how about this Liam Neeson,
Pamela Anderson. It was all made up. There was never
a romance, they were never together. It was it's all
for the movie.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
I believe it. Yeah, because they were so okay. They're
private people to an extent, and they were like.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
All, Okay, I totally believed it.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
I fell for it. Oh my god, they did a
great job.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, I actually think it's kind of beneath them, don't you.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Yeah, they're a little old for that.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Yeah, I don't think, like, I don't think Liam needs
that in his career.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
You're seventy five? Do we need you pretending your dating veil?
Speaker 5 (25:24):
And well, there's two celebrities getting together that are older,
you know, and then you think, you know, godfood they
break up, Then what's he gonna say?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
She's an insufferable bitch.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Hey, we're brought to by the ninety nine Restaurants. The
last Lobster Lovers weekend of summer is here, So hurry
in visit the ninety nine restaurants this coming Friday, that's
Tomorrow through Monday, and enjoy their famous colossal or hot
buttered lobster roll with a free three course meal upgrade.
By the way, it's your last chance for a great
(25:57):
deal on lobster. So you got to love them in there,
you go. I think that I have a great grasp
of numbers, I have a great grasp of values and
lisasy Okay, So we had a woman that reached out
to us, right, Lisa.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
She did.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
She was an original talkbacker years ago. She called in
and then she gave us an update recently about a
sperm donor situation.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Yeah, and we've got the talk back right when she
was conceived via sperm donor, and she tracked down her
real father.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yeah, her sister had a different donor, and she tracked
down him as well.
Speaker 9 (26:31):
I was interested in learning about what my dad looked like,
and really that's all I cared about was what he
looked like and any medical issues that maybe he had
or something, just like to have that for a reference.
And my sister had no interest in learning about her,
but of course I wanted to know.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
We did these tests.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
Many years ago. On her DNA test, it showed up
that she had two half sisters. But DNA is like
very interesting because you don't always know, Like it could
say that they are a half sister, but they could
be something else. So recently I decided to dive back
into it, and I looked on her thing and it
said that this person was a half sister. But I
(27:09):
soon realized that this was actually her grandmother. So when
I realized it was her grandmother, I mean, it's so
easy to do this stuff, Like people don't realize. You
just look up their obituary and you see all of
the family members that are still around, and then you
can make your family trees. And basically I found her.
There were three sons from that woman.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Oh yeah, It's like I think there's a lot more
of this going on than we realize.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Well again, these twenty three and me, these these ancestry
dot com kits have really I don't want to say
cause problems, but I mean it's yeah, this is the
new world.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I refuse to do it. I don't want my DNA.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
I didn't do it either.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I don't want any of that.
Speaker 9 (27:53):
Here.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Here's a thing, A lot of these donations that happened
before DNA came out. Yeah, so you just see, know,
you donated your sperm and then you moved on. You
never thought anybody would track you down. But now with
the Internet, in DNA, in these twenty three and meters,
they're coming.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
And that was the first question Lisa had earlier this.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Morning as I got paternity situation, privacy situation, and I.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Think it varies state by state.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
I was reading up on it, but you know, from
a financial standpoint, even though you signed your you know,
you signed all these documents years ago.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
It's all changed now.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
But I have a cousin who actually found her birth
mother she was adopted through twenty three and me, and
it's become a really beautiful situation, like they have a
close relationship now with her real with her birth mother.
That's not I mean, it was it worked out great.
Sometimes it doesn't, but in this case it was.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
It was nice.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
So interestingly enough, as Lisa said, Massachusetts does have a
law about this protecting there's no financial obligation if you're
not considered the legal parent. And by the way, that
law went into effect January first of this year.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Oh interesting, really has been like a hot button.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah, but it's is it one of those things that
can later be taken to a higher court not, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
The law was established in Massachusetts. On what I'm reading, Wow, yeah,
it's really crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
But to hear Sammy speak, she's totally consumed with this,
and you know the fact that she actually found her
sperm donor, doesn't have a relationship with him, but in
the event she has any emergency medical questions, she can
call or contact him or text him or email them.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
And she wanted to know, you know, what he looked like,
and she wanted to know. Yeah, like, what's the family
history when it comes to medical things, which is you know,
those are valid.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Questions, understandable.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Yep, Wow, that's that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (29:39):
Are any people going to donate eggs and sperm now
knowing that their children someday are going to come find them.
People were doing this either for cash or out of
the kindness of their heart, and now they're going to
have random people finding them on the internet.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
No one's going to do it anymore.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
What's the seed go for these days?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I think it's a hundred bucks. It's not a lot
for a sample. It's way more to give an egg
because obviously, as women, we will in produce so many
you're giving, you know, giving eggs is more than giving sperm.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
But I don't think it's not one hundred bucks. Really
you think.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I don't think it's much. I don't think it's much
more than that.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Not good for billion.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
You know. I was once told I had Olympic sperm
by a doctor.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
But I think it costs at a lot of problems
to that point, and I really feel like there's more
twenty three and meters stories besides, like sperm donors, whether
it's someone had a secret love child and you found
out years later. Like, I just feel like there's so
many stories because everyone's now putting their DNA into this pool,
that there has to be way more than just Sammy
(30:42):
being you know, trying to find her medical history.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
I mean, I've said told this story before. You know,
back in my old old days, I was incarcerated and
they had just passed the law that DNA had to
be taken from anybody that was convicted of a felony,
which I was unfortunately, Yeah, and so I was in
there and they tried to take it in. My dad
had told me about the law when I was going in,
and he said, listen, do not give them your DNA.
(31:05):
Why do not? Because he actually had a good point.
He said, say, you're like in a hotel room, you
sleep over, you check out, the next day, they clean
it but not thoroughly. And then god forbid, a crime
happens and someone's like killed in that room and they
do a DNA sweep. There's your DNA, So you could
be tried for a crime you didn't commit.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Well, don't you remember when twenty three and Me was
being in bankruptcy recently and they told everybody that had
done the kids like to go in and sort of
check the boxes that your DNA could not be sold
to the company that would be taking over twenty three
and me.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Because people literally do that, they sell I mean, there's
so many companies.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
That right off it off of your DNA.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
DNA be crazy. I don't want to find any more
family members.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
You barely want to talk to the ones you have.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Well, you know, like enough, you know, like there's another birthday.
I haven't worry about.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Holiday visit.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I mean, although I'm not gonna lie. If twenty three
me let me to a rich uncle with a yacht,
I think I would do it.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Yeah, have you have you done it? Twenty three and Me?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Never get on.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Now it's topic time for the Billy and Lisa.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
In the morning.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Yeah, we had a crazy caller earlier this morning, not crazy,
but an interesting caller about a sperm donor seeking out
family members that she didn't know existed.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Very unique situation, yeah, yeah, but a real thing.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
But it makes me think about twenty three and me
and like all of these people out there who are
in fact finding relatives they never knew existed, and they're
developing relationships with them.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
I know, but sometimes it can cause a little bit
a little bit of issues.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Right now, they don't want to be found exactly maybe alone.
I mean, imagine you have a whole family and you
donated sperm thirty years ago, and you never said anything
to anyone, and now all of these kids are popping up.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
That's an uncomfortable conversation, Harry. Imagine you get a call.
By the way, you're my father. He we'll see you
by Now, let's go to Shannon. She's the first call. Shannon,
give us your good one.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
Yeah. So back in January of twenty twenty, my dad
got a call from my brother, who's my half brother,
and he's like, I think my cousin is your daughter.
So basically, my mom had my brother and my dad
was dating. My mom's the father.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
No, sorry, yeah, even you don't even know. There was
accombination of numbers here.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
My brother's cousin is my half sister.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Okay, let's try to figure this all right, all right,
that's your brother's cousin is your half sister.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
Yeah, so my mom and dad were dating a brother
and sister at the same time back in the day,
and they didn't know. And then my dad didn't find
out until January of twenty twenty. And she's forty eight.
She was forty eight years old, and her mom still
not tell her that my dad is her dad.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
So her uncle is her dad.
Speaker 8 (34:08):
Oh, no, my dad is her dad.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Have you ever sat down and laid it out on paper.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
I'm still.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
This one's your Is your cousin? Correct?
Speaker 8 (34:22):
No, she's my sister. She's my half sister.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
But you thought she was your cousin.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
No, she's my older brother's cousin because my older brother, Chris,
is my half brother.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Do any of you have a relationship now.
Speaker 8 (34:36):
Yes, we all love her. She's my mom. Everyone was
like so excited to welcome her into the family. She's awesome,
she's amazing. She actually wrote an article. It was published
by something online. I can send it to you, guys.
But yeah, it's the whole thing. Now.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
If she's come over for the holidays.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
Yes, she's always welcome.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
It's important to be open. That's the most important thing.
And the fact the fact that your family was it's good.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
But she already part of the family though, before you
found out the relation of the.
Speaker 8 (35:03):
Dad, she hung out with us as kids should go
out to like ice cream and stuff with us. Her
momoud rang out, but we never knew that she was
related to us. We just thought she was my brother,
my older brother's cousin.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
And then would make her relate to your brother, that
would make her part of the family.
Speaker 8 (35:21):
Yes, so she my brother calls her his his sister cousin.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
I'm like, don't do that.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
When you got the first call, did you ask for proof?
I mean, it's a legitimate question, right question.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Yeah, the connection wasn't good there, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
With her, that was with the phone.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
I had a real hard time wrapping my head.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I still don't understand how that happened.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
There was a cousin involved, sty.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
Nervous, and I still don't. That's complicating, very complicated.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
And you are you.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
And my sister have because it's okay, what's going I.
Speaker 13 (36:02):
Am third generation Italian American from the South Shore area
and I found out the ancestry dot Com that my
great grandfather from Italy had a separate wife and separate child.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
That's happens a lot now that people from like you know,
earlier generations that had love children are popping up.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Wow, Billy Bill, what okay, there's nothing.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
You haven't gotten any calls or letters or how about you?
Speaker 5 (36:40):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
You were roaming the streets, No I haven't.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
You know the thing is you really never know.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
With today in today's world.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
US females at least have that we know, you.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Know, something came out.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
Yeah, that's definite.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
I had my.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
Uncle knocked up someone in high school in the nineteen
fifties and sixties, and she gave the baby up for adoption,
and we found out through ancestry.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
That happened a lot back then. They didn't want you
obviously religious families Catholic around here, especially someone in my family.
They got pregnant in like the sixties, my my mom's cousin,
and they made her give the video for adoption and
now and they found each other and she came back
into their lives.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Well, I think the big fear of them was you
could be excommunicated from the church morning morning through.
Speaker 14 (37:37):
I have a very interesting ancestry story, too long to
leave in a talkback, but basically I discovered after finding
all kinds of people on my profile that I had
no idea who they were. That my father had a
different father that he never knew about.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Oh so her father had a different father.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Yeah, her father was raised by somebody else. Yeah, his
biological fatheresh.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
God, I get so confused by all this.
Speaker 5 (38:07):
Yeah, me too. I know I'm getting talkbacks now with
people being like I'm listening, but I'm just not getting it.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
You know, this is not a joke. For the longest time,
I considered that I might have been left on a doorstep.
Why I don't know.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
Yeah, we never met your parents. They passed so long ago,
so we have nothing to kind of go on.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
I don't have any family that's alive outside of my brother.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
You show me your dad though, India. You look at
your dad.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Oh, your dad.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
You know, it's funny you say that because lately I
think I'm starting to look like him, and I never did.
But anyway, there's that. I mean, he was very dark skinned.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
So do you think that your dad It was your dad,
but maybe your mom wasn't your mom? Well, you know
there was that thing with your mom.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
I never wanted to cuddle with mom because there's nobody
cigarettes
Now this morning show in Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Billie and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's just a great start to my day on kids.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Wunna wait, well, good morning everybody. Welcome in Happy Thursday.
It is August twenty eighth. Welcome to the Billy and
Lisa Morning Show. We very rarely start the morning show
on a sad or tragic note, but I feel as though, Lisa,
we have to at least acknowledge and mention the horrible
(00:29):
mass shooting in Minneapolis yesterday at a Catholic school.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
We do.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
It was so tragic. Two people were killed, seventeen people injured.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, and we just want to say our thoughts in
prayers go out to the victims' families there certainly the
families of the young children who are in the hospital
this morning. And by the way, thoughts and prayers. This
was the very first week of school there, possibly the
first day of school for some of these young kids.
They were praying when shots rang out, And yeah, I mean,
(01:02):
I've got a lot of it in the newscast, but
also a shout out and thoughts and prayers to parents
who are listening right now and who might be driving
their kids to school. So we just wanted to get
that in early. Well, said Bill, Yeah, I got really
emotional right when you said that about the praying. That's
when I saw the story yesterday. I just I got
(01:24):
very emotional about it, especially if you have kids, and
there's just no words.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
They hit home for me because I went to a
Catholic elementary school, so we went, we went to church
the first week of school and your parents, some parents
have got my mom will come. So my mom and
I were talking about yesterday. I can't. I mean, all
school shootings are tragedy, but I just I actually kind
of felt it more this time because I literally lived that.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
But yeah, Bill will have the latest in his news
right before seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, it really hit me when the ten year old
was interviewed and was talking about how one of his
best friends was shot in the back right next to him,
and then his other friend lied on top of him
to protect him, and that friend was shot. But it's
expected to survive, I guess, but just a horrible situation.
We just wanted to get that out there. Okay, And uh, Lisa,
(02:16):
you've got a book club event tonight.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I do.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
It's Jody Pico and we're super excited for it. It's
going to be a big night live and doors open
at five o'clock. Expect a line. So that's why we're
opening up the doors a little bit earlier than six
because of the Mel Robbins event that we had there.
Oh yeah, people were, people were in line around the block,
so trying to get people more time to get in
(02:40):
and get settled.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Does Billy have to wait in line?
Speaker 6 (02:42):
He doesn't, he knows how to get in.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Okay, good.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Last time when it was free, it was free.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
It was it was bitterly cold.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
And I was walking past the line and I was
just like all these poor people and I but I
booked to the door.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
People were yelling out to us, you know, Billy and Lisa,
could you get us?
Speaker 6 (03:01):
It was bitterly They stood in line for like forty minutes.
And that's where we're doing it a little differently this year.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I mean, I've never gotten more email and more instructions
on how to get into Lisa's book club tonight.
Speaker 5 (03:15):

I don't even know how to turn them on.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
I'll help you set them up there. They're cool though.
You can take pictures, you can take video, you can

Billy's going to get into trouble.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
He's going to be like, you know, they're going to

meta is that Rayvan meta glasses. When you put them
in the glass case, they automatically start drying.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
It's very cool.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Yeah, it's it's it's really cool. But the real reason
that Billy is gonna the use he's gonna have is Africa.
He's going to Africa next month in October. And it'll
be great for the animals because you can just snap
the picture right from the glasses.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
What if I spook an animal, like a lion, like
hit a button the wrong button on the glasses and
it freaks out the lion.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
It's starts charging the Islance.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
It's totally silent.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
There are flashing lights and everything.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Now there's one little light to know you're recording, because
let's be honest, you can use these and then kind
of you.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Know, sure way, yes, yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
So but the light. You can put a piece of
tape over the lights so you don't see it. I'll

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Kit Hey guys, so welcome back. It is Thursday, August

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Big Night Live, Jody Pica will be there and we
will all be there as a show too, and super
exciting doors open at five.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Okay. Meantime, we've got an interesting sperm donor store. You
don't get a lot of sperm donor talk on the
Billy and Lisa Morning Show. But we're going to talk
about it right now because not too long ago we
received this talk back.
Speaker 9 (07:48):
Good morning, Morning crew.
Speaker 10 (07:49):
I have a crazy story and I'd love to discuss
it with you guys. I called in many years ago
about this and Lisa was super nice about it. The
plot has thickened. I was created via spur donation, and
I just recently found my sister's sperm dad because we
had different ones and there's.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
A lot of drama going on within that family now.
Speaker 10 (08:07):
But I only listen to Little seven in the morning
and that's when I get to work, So let me know.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
If I should call in, which is why we wanted
to get it in before seven o'clock. And now Sammy
is calling in. Sammy you there, Hi?
Speaker 9 (08:19):
Yeah, Good morning everyone.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Well, good morning Sammy. We have so many questions a Lisa,
you want to start.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Okay, Sammy, I remember when you called in years ago,
and I knew a family that had a similar situation
where the two girls had different dads because they were,
you know, a product of a sperm donating situation. So
your situation is that your sister has a different father
than you, but she was able to through DNA testing
(08:44):
find out who her dad was.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Yeah, okay, So and then you said that there was
some sort of situation with that family of the dad drama.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
We want to know about the drama.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Yeah, so what happened?
Speaker 9 (08:59):
Well, yeah, so we found out in twenty nineteen because
I started getting really interested in our family history and
I asked for Christmas for a DNA test and my
parents didn't get it for me, and I was like,
come on, this was the cheapest thing on my list here,
and so I did the test. My parents were like,
all right, we need to sit you down, and I
(09:20):
was like, oh boy. And basically they just told us
that my dad has assistic fibrosis gene so he couldn't
have children. So they used the firm donor for my sister,
but then that donor removed his firm from the bank,
so they had to use a different one for me.
And so I was interested in learning about what my
(09:42):
dad looked like. And really that's all I cared about
was what he looked like and any medical issues that
maybe he had or something, just like to have that
for reference. And my sister had no interest in learning
about her, but of course I wanted to know of course,
we did these tests. We did these tests many years ago,
(10:02):
and on her DNA test, it showed up that she
had two half sisters. But CNA is like very interesting
because you don't always know, Like it could say that
they're a half sister, but they could be something else.
So recently I decided to dive back into it, and
I looked on her thing and it said that this
person was a half sister. But I soon realized that
(10:25):
this was actually her grandmother. So when I realized it
was her grandmother, I mean, it's so easy to do
this stuff, like people don't realize. You just look up
their obituary and you see all of the family members
that are still around, and then you can make your
family trees. And basically I found her there were three
sons from that woman. And basically I reached out to
(10:48):
this girl that was one of the guy's daughters and
I said, hey, listen, my sister was conceived via sperm
donation and we're just kind of kind of trying to
figure out like was it your dad or was it
one of your uncles, blah blah blah. And I sent
her a screenshot of the description and she was like, uh,
that's my dad. So basically we found out that she
(11:13):
is a half sister of my sister. So she took
it really well. She's a really nice girl. She's a
little bit younger than me, and she said she's she's
so interested, but her sister.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Not so much.
Speaker 9 (11:30):
She's very mad at me. She actually sent me a
pretty angry message this morning and then unsent it. So
I know that she's upset, and so I reached out
to that girl, the other girl again, and I was like, listen,
I'm once again, I'm so sorry, like and she was
just like, no, my sister's just really sensitive to this stuff,
like just don't worry about it, like she'll be fine.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Well what about the dad. Where is he?
Speaker 9 (11:56):
So so they live in Virginia. Yeah, these people are
all over the place.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
Well there was.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Spreading their sperm all over the place, their seed, Yeah, yeah,
spreading it everywhere.
Speaker 9 (12:08):
So he is really I mean he basically told the
daughter like listen, yeah that happened, Like he was open
and honest about it when she asked, and he was
just like, we were going to tell you eventually, but
like we did remove it once we wanted to start
having a family, which all makes sense why we couldn't
use it for me.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Now, do you have a relationship at all with your
sperm dad?
Speaker 8 (12:30):
No?
Speaker 9 (12:30):
So I did find his phone number from White Stages
back in twenty nineteen. You can find anything, guys. The
internet is crazy. But I did reach out to him
and I basically told him like, thank you for you know, donating,
like there are like nine of us, there's a bunch
of children of yours running around, but thank you for donating,
(12:54):
and like, I just want to keep your phone number
in case I ever have like a medical question. And
he definitely was not as interested as I was at
the time. But I kind of understand why. I thought
we're just we're just connection.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
So I understand the medical stuff. I would I would
want to know too. I would want to know everything
about my medical history. But I have a question about
paternity situations, like do these sperm donors do they are
they protected from any sort of financial obligation to the
children that they've fathered.
Speaker 9 (13:25):
Right, So it's it's tricky, I believe. I mean, I
don't know if a sperm child could in fact go
after their sperm dot and say give me money or
something if they find them. But a lot of these
donors back in the day donated and they didn't think
that anyone would find them.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
They yeah, now that's Sammy.
Speaker 9 (13:46):
You would put on their saying that we do not
want to be contacted, we want to remain anonymous, we
do not want to be part of their lives. So
now with the DNA, like anyone can find anyone. It's
it's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's Jammy. I'm going to caution you, but Winnie has
a question.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
It's actually not weird. What do your parents and your
sister think of you doing all this? Because I feel
like the three of them are probably just like they
it was, you know, aren't we enough?
Speaker 8 (14:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 9 (14:14):
Right, So my mom loved it. She won't admit it,
but she she loves it. She's always asking me questions.
She's like, I can't believe you found this and this
and this, and she finds it very interesting. Obviously, my
dad is weird about it. I mean like, I'm sure
he feels awkward. But the guy waited nineteen years to
(14:34):
tell me that this even happened. So I'm going to
do my own reason.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
Guy always the guy.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
But you have to put yourself in your shoes, Like
if that happened to me, I would absolutely want to
know my father was or at least find out some information.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
But I guess to the point, and my.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
Dad is my dad, like he is my dad. I
like he will always be my dad. That's just the genetics.
I find it's so fascinating.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Well I can see is I can, honest you see
a side though. I feel like with men, it's more
prideful like that he couldn't obviously produce children, and that's
probably what it is more than anything. You know, it's
not situation where it was like a lesbian couple or
you know, a gay couple it was.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
But I think it's good like for like you said,
for for medical reasons and then if you have children too.
It's just sort of you want to have as much
information as possible.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Sammy, I gotta ask you have a job or something
because you seem very This takes a lot of time,
doesn't it.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
I know, I really should like switch careers.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I mean, I've investigating make it your career.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Yeah, it is so cool what you can find. And
also my grandfather was adopted, so I've recently been trying
to see if I can find his original family, but
my grandparents were like, stop doing this.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
I can't stop it.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yeah, Sammy, thank you so much for the story and
thanks for calling in early.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Oh my god. Yeah, don't cross Sammy because she'll find you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
From the Planet Fitness, Kiss one Away Studios, we we're
back with Billy and Lisa in the morning on Hit one.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
O eight.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Now the entertainment update with a Billy Constant.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Okay, So, Taylor Swift continues to dominate the buzz stories.
The numbers are staggering when you think of it. The
engagement announcement the other day had over fourteen million likes
and has over fourteen million so far. Taylor's engagement dress
crashed the Ralph Laurenz website. The dress all sizes sold
(16:33):
out in minutes.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
Right.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I love that it was actually still available, so it
was kind of like off the rack. It was like
three hundred and ninety eight dollars to start. It was
on sale for three nineteen, so I thought that was
really cool. And then Travis was also wearing Ralph Laurent
too in the picture, so it was nice.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I think it's really cool that her engagement dress was
only about three hundred y.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And it was.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
Yeah, it was basically off the rack.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
And she probably got it for free anyway. But still,
it's the message she sent out that it's like three
hundred under for the dress.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Yeah, Raffloren's having a resurgence.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I bet they are.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
I still do. I just love the quality of it.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, yeah, Okay. Travis's dad, Ed Kelsey doing most of
the talking about the actual engagement, what was said, how
it went down here, he.
Speaker 11 (17:20):
Is floral garden around the gazebo. You got her out there, Jenerary,
so let's go and have a glass of wine. And
she got out there and they got out there and
that's when that's when he asked her. News beautiful.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
He's doing God's work. Somebody's got to heal. Yeah, he's
just telling us what happened. And honestly, I feel like
Taylor and Travis know who his dad is.
Speaker 9 (17:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:47):
I actually really like it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It's so wholesome.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, and I like that the engagement was very understated. Yes,
you know, like it's not over the top madness. It
was very understated.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
Well.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Page six is reporting in the Post at the wedding,
according to sources, will be very casual and small. Well
it's not going to be like the royal wedding type,
you know, over the top.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
We should ask ed Kelsey how the wedding talking.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
About it, they'll give us details.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Probably already knows where the bachelor and bachelorette party.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Is, what she's going to be wearing.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Yeah, I think it should be at Arrowhead. I know
that it's going to be small and casual but overstated
Arrowhead Stadium.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
But I wonder if Ralph Lauren will design the wedding game.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Oh, I feel like she shouldn't be like Vera Wang
or something for a wedding game.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Oh I know, But.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Did I dream this? Wasn't it Justin Bieber or somebody
that proposed in a football stadium?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It was Kanye Yes, and I think it's baseball.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
It was like a baseball stadium Dodger Yah, yeah, I
did see a Las Vegas strip club has officially offered
a co ed bachelor party to Travis and Taylor.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Oh, all right, something to think about it.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
I don't thinking accept.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, well, we'll have to check in with Ed. Yeah,
it is the joke. Oh my god. By the way,
Flavor Flav wants to officiate the wedding. My girl Taylor
is engaged to my boy.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
I'm stoked.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I can't wait for the wedding. Not only that, but
when y'all get married, let.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Your boy flavor Flav be the officiator.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I would love to officiate the wedding. You know what
I said?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Okay, labor flame. So a Taylor fan found an old
interview clip where the interviewer actually joked that Taylor wouldn't
get married until she was thirty five.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Easick is where I'm always going to be personal. I
don't hold anything back in that.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
So we're not gonna find out until you're married.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
And your mom's here.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
So mom not allowed to get married till she's thirty five.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And that's the way it works.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
No, it's late in life.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
And now Taylor is thirty five and she's getting married. Well,
we assume maybe this year. Who knows, just maybe not.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Well, should be thirty six in December, so she'll probably
thirty six, okay.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
And speaking of Taylor, by the numbers we all know
by now, she loves the number thirteen. She appeared on
the Kelsey podcast August thirteenth, we knew that she and
Travis announced their engagement thirteen days later August twenty sixth
We know that, And that's thirty nine days, thirteen times three,
with the album set to drop October thirty. Now, I
(20:32):
don't know how it's spinning. Who got digs in and
finds all of this numerology fifties, but it's kind of cool.
And the instagram came out one o'clock PM, which, for
the record, is thirteen one hundred military time.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Oh my god, guys, I can I don't think everything's
that cryptic.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I don't know. Oh and by the way, one o'clock
also looks like one hundred. And I love this one,
which is the sum of Kelsey's jersey number eighty seven
and Taylor's favorite number thirteen. Man, you impressed oney that
I'm onto all this.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
This, this is a this is kind of a Bill
thing too. Well. He has a fascination with numbers. Yeah
we know, oh yeah, big time.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
The Avengers Endgame movie crushed it, taking in more than
a billion dollars worldwide, three hundred and fifty million in
North America, one hundred and eighty five million in US
more than five thirty million. It just keeps going without numbers,
where would we be a couple of album teasers to
(21:34):
talk about. Rihanna updated her profile picture and a headset
with her album titles and number nine could be on
the way. How many times are they going to tease
Rihanna coming out with music and then nothing happens.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
She's about to have another baby.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
I don't think it's an album promo honestly, but could be.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Yeah, Ariana Grande is teasing either an album, a tour
or both. In twenty twenty six, it has to.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Be a tour. It said see you later or see
you next year.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
I can't wait.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I cannot wait. Like she's been away for too long.
I mean, I know she's released music, but she needs
to tour.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I think the last time I saw her on stage
was at like Kiss concert, like twenty sixteen, and I'm like.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, boy, that's a good concert, huh.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
I alive with the Garden. She was really good. Yeah,
you know how many people were there.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Fifty thousand people? Friday really backed in and you know
how everybody on tour now is bringing other people on
stage who would alreadyan to bring on.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Oh maybe Cynthia Rivo. Yeah, I mean she's collabed with
a lot of people. Well maybe she could research what's oh,
I never mind, what's her name? There's Australian rappers talking
about they were going together.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yeah, yeah, problem, Okay. Hey, tomorrow is New Music Friday
on the Billy and Lisa Morning Show, and I guess
Justin will be playing a lot of clips from this
Brina album.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Absolutely absolutely all day.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
All right, look forward to that New Music Friday. That's
your gig. And also tomorrow is the Big Friday Show.
Michael Bivens is going to join us on the show tomorrow.
Why because don't forget. It's a new Edition Day in
Boston this coming Saturday. And Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordan Hudson
(23:23):
is taking total ownership of the term gold digger. I
kind of appreciate this that she's going to own it.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Yeah, she's all in with this. So she wants to
use this trademark basically on jewelry and key chains.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
She wants to make money.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Yep, she's a hustler.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I'm actually surprised that it's never been trademarked. Before you
think about it.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I would have felt like Kanye would.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Have Yay, I mean, I mean, you can file it.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
It doesn't mean it's going to happen, right, But.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
How many have she filed so far?
Speaker 4 (23:56):
She filed chapel bill, no days off, the bell A
check Way, among others.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Wow, I'm always ready to attack the unsuspecting man. Her
weapons are, her looks, her personality?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Are you justin? Can I please rehair the talkback? I
think it was from yesterday on Jordan Hudson.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
It was about Winnie and Jordan are invited to the
same event that's coming up, and the question was Whinnie's
going Will Jordan Hudson show up?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Good morning, Billy and Lisa Crew. I can totally see
Jordan showing up to this baby shower. She's pretty well
known for showing up in places that she's not welcome
because she's an insufferable bitch. Rage.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
That's definitely gonna be in the top ten.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
The end of the year.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
Talking what's behind that is the story?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
That's some serious anger. Hey how about this Liam Neeson,
Pamela Anderson. It was all made up. There was never
a romance, they were never together. It was it's all
for the movie.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
I believe it. Yeah, because they were so okay. They're
private people to an extent, and they were like.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
All, Okay, I totally believed it.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
I fell for it. Oh my god, they did a
great job.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, I actually think it's kind of beneath them, don't you.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Yeah, they're a little old for that.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Yeah, I don't think, like, I don't think Liam needs
that in his career.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
You're seventy five? Do we need you pretending your dating veil?
Speaker 5 (25:24):
And well, there's two celebrities getting together that are older,
you know, and then you think, you know, godfood they
break up, Then what's he gonna say?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
She's an insufferable bitch.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Hey, we're brought to by the ninety nine Restaurants. The
last Lobster Lovers weekend of summer is here, So hurry
in visit the ninety nine restaurants this coming Friday, that's
Tomorrow through Monday, and enjoy their famous colossal or hot
buttered lobster roll with a free three course meal upgrade.
By the way, it's your last chance for a great
(25:57):
deal on lobster. So you got to love them in there,
you go. I think that I have a great grasp
of numbers, I have a great grasp of values and
lisasy Okay, So we had a woman that reached out
to us, right, Lisa.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
She did.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
She was an original talkbacker years ago. She called in
and then she gave us an update recently about a
sperm donor situation.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Yeah, and we've got the talk back right when she
was conceived via sperm donor, and she tracked down her
real father.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yeah, her sister had a different donor, and she tracked
down him as well.
Speaker 9 (26:31):
I was interested in learning about what my dad looked like,
and really that's all I cared about was what he
looked like and any medical issues that maybe he had
or something, just like to have that for a reference.
And my sister had no interest in learning about her,
but of course I wanted to know.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
We did these tests.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
Many years ago. On her DNA test, it showed up
that she had two half sisters. But DNA is like
very interesting because you don't always know, Like it could
say that they are a half sister, but they could
be something else. So recently I decided to dive back
into it, and I looked on her thing and it
said that this person was a half sister. But I
(27:09):
soon realized that this was actually her grandmother. So when
I realized it was her grandmother, I mean, it's so
easy to do this stuff, Like people don't realize. You
just look up their obituary and you see all of
the family members that are still around, and then you
can make your family trees. And basically I found her.
There were three sons from that woman.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Oh yeah, It's like I think there's a lot more
of this going on than we realize.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Well again, these twenty three and me, these these ancestry
dot com kits have really I don't want to say
cause problems, but I mean it's yeah, this is the
new world.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I refuse to do it. I don't want my DNA.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
I didn't do it either.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I don't want any of that.
Speaker 9 (27:53):
Here.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Here's a thing, A lot of these donations that happened
before DNA came out. Yeah, so you just see, know,
you donated your sperm and then you moved on. You
never thought anybody would track you down. But now with
the Internet, in DNA, in these twenty three and meters,
they're coming.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
And that was the first question Lisa had earlier this.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Morning as I got paternity situation, privacy situation, and I.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Think it varies state by state.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
I was reading up on it, but you know, from
a financial standpoint, even though you signed your you know,
you signed all these documents years ago.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
It's all changed now.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
But I have a cousin who actually found her birth
mother she was adopted through twenty three and me, and
it's become a really beautiful situation, like they have a
close relationship now with her real with her birth mother.
That's not I mean, it was it worked out great.
Sometimes it doesn't, but in this case it was.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
It was nice.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
So interestingly enough, as Lisa said, Massachusetts does have a
law about this protecting there's no financial obligation if you're
not considered the legal parent. And by the way, that
law went into effect January first of this year.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Oh interesting, really has been like a hot button.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah, but it's is it one of those things that
can later be taken to a higher court not, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
The law was established in Massachusetts. On what I'm reading, Wow, yeah,
it's really crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
But to hear Sammy speak, she's totally consumed with this,
and you know the fact that she actually found her
sperm donor, doesn't have a relationship with him, but in
the event she has any emergency medical questions, she can
call or contact him or text him or email them.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
And she wanted to know, you know, what he looked like,
and she wanted to know. Yeah, like, what's the family
history when it comes to medical things, which is you know,
those are valid.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Questions, understandable.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Yep, Wow, that's that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (29:39):
Are any people going to donate eggs and sperm now
knowing that their children someday are going to come find them.
People were doing this either for cash or out of
the kindness of their heart, and now they're going to
have random people finding them on the internet.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
No one's going to do it anymore.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
What's the seed go for these days?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I think it's a hundred bucks. It's not a lot
for a sample. It's way more to give an egg
because obviously, as women, we will in produce so many
you're giving, you know, giving eggs is more than giving sperm.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
But I don't think it's not one hundred bucks. Really
you think.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I don't think it's much. I don't think it's much
more than that.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Not good for billion.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
You know. I was once told I had Olympic sperm
by a doctor.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
But I think it costs at a lot of problems
to that point, and I really feel like there's more
twenty three and meters stories besides, like sperm donors, whether
it's someone had a secret love child and you found
out years later. Like, I just feel like there's so
many stories because everyone's now putting their DNA into this pool,
that there has to be way more than just Sammy
(30:42):
being you know, trying to find her medical history.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
I mean, I've said told this story before. You know,
back in my old old days, I was incarcerated and
they had just passed the law that DNA had to
be taken from anybody that was convicted of a felony,
which I was unfortunately, Yeah, and so I was in
there and they tried to take it in. My dad
had told me about the law when I was going in,
and he said, listen, do not give them your DNA.
(31:05):
Why do not? Because he actually had a good point.
He said, say, you're like in a hotel room, you
sleep over, you check out, the next day, they clean
it but not thoroughly. And then god forbid, a crime
happens and someone's like killed in that room and they
do a DNA sweep. There's your DNA, So you could
be tried for a crime you didn't commit.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Well, don't you remember when twenty three and Me was
being in bankruptcy recently and they told everybody that had
done the kids like to go in and sort of
check the boxes that your DNA could not be sold
to the company that would be taking over twenty three
and me.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Because people literally do that, they sell I mean, there's
so many companies.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
That right off it off of your DNA.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
DNA be crazy. I don't want to find any more
family members.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
You barely want to talk to the ones you have.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Well, you know, like enough, you know, like there's another birthday.
I haven't worry about.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Holiday visit.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I mean, although I'm not gonna lie. If twenty three
me let me to a rich uncle with a yacht,
I think I would do it.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Yeah, have you have you done it? Twenty three and Me?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Never get on.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Now it's topic time for the Billy and Lisa.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
In the morning.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Yeah, we had a crazy caller earlier this morning, not crazy,
but an interesting caller about a sperm donor seeking out
family members that she didn't know existed.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Very unique situation, yeah, yeah, but a real thing.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
But it makes me think about twenty three and me
and like all of these people out there who are
in fact finding relatives they never knew existed, and they're
developing relationships with them.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
I know, but sometimes it can cause a little bit
a little bit of issues.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Right now, they don't want to be found exactly maybe alone.
I mean, imagine you have a whole family and you
donated sperm thirty years ago, and you never said anything
to anyone, and now all of these kids are popping up.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
That's an uncomfortable conversation, Harry. Imagine you get a call.
By the way, you're my father. He we'll see you
by Now, let's go to Shannon. She's the first call. Shannon,
give us your good one.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
Yeah. So back in January of twenty twenty, my dad
got a call from my brother, who's my half brother,
and he's like, I think my cousin is your daughter.
So basically, my mom had my brother and my dad
was dating. My mom's the father.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
No, sorry, yeah, even you don't even know. There was
accombination of numbers here.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
My brother's cousin is my half sister.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Okay, let's try to figure this all right, all right,
that's your brother's cousin is your half sister.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
Yeah, so my mom and dad were dating a brother
and sister at the same time back in the day,
and they didn't know. And then my dad didn't find
out until January of twenty twenty. And she's forty eight.
She was forty eight years old, and her mom still
not tell her that my dad is her dad.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
So her uncle is her dad.
Speaker 8 (34:08):
Oh, no, my dad is her dad.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Have you ever sat down and laid it out on paper.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
I'm still.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
This one's your Is your cousin? Correct?
Speaker 8 (34:22):
No, she's my sister. She's my half sister.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
But you thought she was your cousin.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
No, she's my older brother's cousin because my older brother, Chris,
is my half brother.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Do any of you have a relationship now.
Speaker 8 (34:36):
Yes, we all love her. She's my mom. Everyone was
like so excited to welcome her into the family. She's awesome,
she's amazing. She actually wrote an article. It was published
by something online. I can send it to you, guys.
But yeah, it's the whole thing. Now.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
If she's come over for the holidays.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
Yes, she's always welcome.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
It's important to be open. That's the most important thing.
And the fact the fact that your family was it's good.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
But she already part of the family though, before you
found out the relation of the.
Speaker 8 (35:03):
Dad, she hung out with us as kids should go
out to like ice cream and stuff with us. Her
momoud rang out, but we never knew that she was
related to us. We just thought she was my brother,
my older brother's cousin.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
And then would make her relate to your brother, that
would make her part of the family.
Speaker 8 (35:21):
Yes, so she my brother calls her his his sister cousin.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
I'm like, don't do that.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
When you got the first call, did you ask for proof?
I mean, it's a legitimate question, right question.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Yeah, the connection wasn't good there, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
With her, that was with the phone.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
I had a real hard time wrapping my head.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I still don't understand how that happened.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
There was a cousin involved, sty.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
Nervous, and I still don't. That's complicating, very complicated.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
And you are you.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
And my sister have because it's okay, what's going I.
Speaker 13 (36:02):
Am third generation Italian American from the South Shore area
and I found out the ancestry dot Com that my
great grandfather from Italy had a separate wife and separate child.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
That's happens a lot now that people from like you know,
earlier generations that had love children are popping up.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Wow, Billy Bill, what okay, there's nothing.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
You haven't gotten any calls or letters or how about you?
Speaker 5 (36:40):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
You were roaming the streets, No I haven't.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
You know the thing is you really never know.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
With today in today's world.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
US females at least have that we know, you.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Know, something came out.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
Yeah, that's definite.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
I had my.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
Uncle knocked up someone in high school in the nineteen
fifties and sixties, and she gave the baby up for adoption,
and we found out through ancestry.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
That happened a lot back then. They didn't want you
obviously religious families Catholic around here, especially someone in my family.
They got pregnant in like the sixties, my my mom's cousin,
and they made her give the video for adoption and
now and they found each other and she came back
into their lives.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Well, I think the big fear of them was you
could be excommunicated from the church morning morning through.
Speaker 14 (37:37):
I have a very interesting ancestry story, too long to
leave in a talkback, but basically I discovered after finding
all kinds of people on my profile that I had
no idea who they were. That my father had a
different father that he never knew about.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Oh so her father had a different father.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Yeah, her father was raised by somebody else. Yeah, his
biological fatheresh.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
God, I get so confused by all this.
Speaker 5 (38:07):
Yeah, me too. I know I'm getting talkbacks now with
people being like I'm listening, but I'm just not getting it.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
You know, this is not a joke. For the longest time,
I considered that I might have been left on a doorstep.
Why I don't know.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
Yeah, we never met your parents. They passed so long ago,
so we have nothing to kind of go on.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
I don't have any family that's alive outside of my brother.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
You show me your dad though, India. You look at
your dad.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Oh, your dad.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
You know, it's funny you say that because lately I
think I'm starting to look like him, and I never did.
But anyway, there's that. I mean, he was very dark skinned.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
So do you think that your dad It was your dad,
but maybe your mom wasn't your mom? Well, you know
there was that thing with your mom.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
I never wanted to cuddle with mom because there's nobody
cigarettes
