Speaker 3: I'm at this, you know, whatever the event was, and
Speaker 3: I'm sitting with zax mom and dad. And I said, well,
Speaker 3: that can't be because Zach's mom passed away and his

Speaker 3: the story right with your dad?

Speaker 4: the same high school, and they were like, let's take
Speaker 4: him in. We'll get him settled in Nova ironically, and uh, yeah,
Speaker 4: how did Zach come up to Robbie school? Robbie's my boy, so.
Speaker 2: Robbie's a celebrity. It was Robbie went to high school.
Speaker 1: So they knew they knew that you knew Robbie and
Speaker 1: that's why they said that to him. Okay, because I
Speaker 1: was wondering, I'm like going, how did Zach come up
Speaker 1: in this whole situation?
Speaker 4: So I don't know. I've never had someone impersonate my aunt.
Speaker 2: Why didn't Why.
Speaker 5: Didn't you just say and and uncle? Why did they say?
Speaker 5: Were his parents as crazy?

Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I feel like I would just say who I am?
Speaker 2: Did they actually adopt you?
Speaker 4: Yeah? For one point, and then my sister saw My
Speaker 4: sister lived in Georgia at the time, and then while

Speaker 4: had to like finish up her job and move out.
Speaker 4: So during that period of time, I lived with my aunt.
Speaker 3: And my aunt took me in, which is kind of
Speaker 3: cool until this happened, and I was just so freaked
Speaker 3: out by the whole thing.
Speaker 4: I want to hear something funny about the whole situation. Sure, Okay,
Speaker 4: So my aunt lives on this road, and while my
Speaker 4: sister was moving into Novae, she decided to buy a
Speaker 4: house three doors down, So she lives three doors down
Speaker 4: next to my aunt.
Speaker 2: So she she did not know that your aunt was there,
Speaker 2: or they.
Speaker 4: Knew, but she was like, this house is for sale,
Speaker 4: let's just live next to each other.

Speaker 4: Yeah, there were days where, like after school, I've just
Speaker 4: walked down and hang out with the.
Speaker 7: Which is great.

Speaker 1: wonder when you hear those things going I'm your sister
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden turns.
Speaker 2: Out to be true.
Speaker 5: Low key, I would not be surprised if I had
Speaker 5: a brother or a sister in Jamaica. I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 5: Before my dad, you know, the tamer version of my dad. Well,
Speaker 5: my dad was younger. He was a very very wild man.
Speaker 5: So I hear it and he was in Jamaica. My
Speaker 5: dad goes to Jamaica two, if not three times a year,
Speaker 5: and he's been doing this since like the eighties. Wow,
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be surprised at all. Wow, that's amazing you
Speaker 5: got to do it.
Speaker 3: I am not for those DNA tests because I'm still
Speaker 3: I'm a conspiracy theorist when it comes to what they
Speaker 3: do with your DNA.
Speaker 2: But I would be so curious.
Speaker 5: I don't want to know. I don't want to know
Speaker 5: if I got an extra siblings, I like not that way.
Speaker 1: I had a radio friend, actually, Tony and I have
Speaker 1: a radio friend, both of us, that did one of
Speaker 1: those DNA tests only to find out that he had sisters.
Speaker 1: That lit two sisters that lived down the street and
Speaker 1: then down the street the street from where he lives. Yeah,

Speaker 1: So my brother got a Facebook friend. My dad's got
Speaker 1: a very distinctive name, and it's he's from Cuba, and
Speaker 1: it's a Spanish name, and that's our last name. And
Speaker 1: my brother Bill started looking up people with the same
Speaker 1: last name. So he looked up all these people with
Speaker 1: the same last name, only to find this woman that
Speaker 1: was living in Miami with my same exact name that
Speaker 1: he contacted and he started talking to and then we
Speaker 1: did the math and we figured out that my dad.
Speaker 1: I told you, guys, this was married before my mom,
Speaker 1: and they kept that secret from us. I'm gonna see
Speaker 1: if I have the picture in here, I might have
Speaker 1: the I might have the pictures inside the thing.

Speaker 1: we said to her, you know, have you know about
Speaker 1: her father? And she goes my father left and it
Speaker 1: was the exact same year that my dad came over
Speaker 1: from Cuba.
Speaker 2: Listen my father.
Speaker 1: And then when you look at the picture, I can't
Speaker 1: find the picture right now, but I know I've shown
Speaker 1: it to you guys.
Speaker 2: The woman and all of us have the same nose.
Speaker 2: Really and it's like you guys, And the funny thing
Speaker 2: is nobody in my family.
Speaker 1: So nobody in the family is excited about this except
Speaker 1: for me and my brother Bill, who found this thing out.
Speaker 1: Everybody else is kind of like Actually, Tracy is kind
Speaker 1: of excited too, but my older siblings are literally freaked out.
Speaker 2: They don't like the idea of this whole thing. You

Speaker 2: Like I told Bill, Bill who found this guy? Guys,
Speaker 2: I'm going to walk up to the door and go
Speaker 2: sister and just see what her reaction is. What's going on? Kirsten, Hi, Hey,
Speaker 2: good morning guys.
Speaker 8: So when I was twenty seven, I did a DNA
Speaker 8: test and I found out that I had two half brothers.
Speaker 8: And it was crazy because my mom told me about
Speaker 8: it and everything she seen my DNA test. Anyways, they
Speaker 8: were two years older than me. I went to high
Speaker 8: school with them.

Speaker 8: They were actually best friends with my step cousin that
Speaker 8: I went to school with here, like he told me
Speaker 8: to school every day. We just I knew of them.
Speaker 8: I just never met them. If that made sense, we
Speaker 8: always might.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine if you dated them in high school? Like,
Speaker 1: were they good looking guys that you found to be interesting?
Speaker 8: I probably could have. I dated a couple of my
Speaker 8: cousin's best friends and they were literally best friends. So
Speaker 8: it's like the fact that we didn't do pass was
Speaker 8: the craziest and I was like, mom, you know how
Speaker 8: close this was.
Speaker 2: I lost my virginity to my brother.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what if you what if you look at
Speaker 1: this like she's a hotty hare. This guy has no idea?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what up, Rocky? How you doing, buddy?

Speaker 2: I'm doing okay.
Speaker 1: We're talking about, uh, finding out that you got siblings
Speaker 1: out there or extra family out there.

Speaker 7: dad's other other children. I went to high school with
Speaker 7: my brother for a whole year and didn't know it,
Speaker 7: and had had people that were telling me, Hey, you
Speaker 7: have a brother. He looks just like you. He got
Speaker 7: your last name. Do you know what, Jimmy, I'm like, no, No,
Speaker 7: I'm an only child. I'm the only one that came
Speaker 7: from my mother's Wait.

Speaker 1: this and you're going no because your family kept it
Speaker 1: quiet from you.
Speaker 7: Well, I knew of them. I knew of them my
Speaker 7: dad's other children. I knew of them, but I never
Speaker 7: met them in my life. I never and suppose and
Speaker 7: at the time, these people were telling me, like, this
Speaker 7: guy looks exactly like you. You guys are brothers. I swear
Speaker 7: you got your last name, you know. And so later
Speaker 7: come later on down in life, we ended up meeting
Speaker 7: each other, and we ended up playing golf on Father's Day.
Speaker 7: And I have a picture in my phone of me
Speaker 7: and him, and I swear we looked so much of
Speaker 7: this is and another go ahead.

Speaker 7: on any any resemblance or I'm sorry, we did not
Speaker 7: take on any genes from our fathers, from our father.
Speaker 7: We fought hard not to.
Speaker 4: Be like our father.
Speaker 7: Our father wasn't a good guy.
