Speaker 1: Have you ever done your DNA test like an ancestry
Speaker 1: test or I.
Speaker 2: Actually haven't, but I've never felt the need to.
Speaker 1: Are you just a bit curious about like I don't
Speaker 1: know your family tree and like what it is? What's
Speaker 1: your DNA maker?
Speaker 3: I mean if you are questioning where I'm from, yeah,
Speaker 3: if you have questions about me, I can definitely go
Speaker 3: and get it done.
Speaker 2: I don't belong to my parents.
Speaker 1: No, I I mean, where's this going? Do you know
Speaker 1: something I don't, Brittany, this is your life? No, I
Speaker 1: find it really fascinating. And so my husband and I
Speaker 1: we actually did DNA tests together recently ancestry DNA tests
Speaker 1: and we got an email saying that their results were inconclusive,
Speaker 1: so we weren't able to get our results back. And
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm going to do it again
Speaker 1: because I made these big jokes to Matt and I
Speaker 1: was like, what if, like they found out something, Because
Speaker 1: when you do it, you have to submit like this
Speaker 1: is my dad, this is my mom, this, and you
Speaker 1: submit as much as your family tree as you possibly can.
Speaker 1: And I was like, what if the reason why they
Speaker 1: kept it is because they found out something they don't
Speaker 1: want us to know about it.
Speaker 2: Maybe your dad's not your dad. They don't want to
Speaker 2: blow up your life. Maybe my uncle's not my uncle.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but like, look.
Speaker 3: I think they'd tell you if your uncle of your
Speaker 3: uncle's that's not that impactful.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, I think it is. Anyway, this
Speaker 1: article that came out, so a woman kind of she
Speaker 1: went and did all the different DNA tests. There's a
Speaker 1: couple that are really big ones in Australia. One's my
Speaker 1: heritage obviously ancestry DNA, which I think most people know of.
Speaker 1: And then there's also another one which is kind of
Speaker 1: like the crem Dela Creme of DNA tests called twenty three.
Speaker 2: And me, hasn't that just gone into what's it called receivership?
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe you know more about it than I.
Speaker 2: You're like the krem Dela Creme. I'm like, it just
Speaker 2: went down to go go.
Speaker 1: Do you know why they say it's the krem Dela
Speaker 1: Creme Purely because it's the most expensive, it's meant to
Speaker 1: be the most thorough. But in the experience of this woman,
Speaker 1: it absolutely wasn't the case. But one thing she did
Speaker 1: find out plot twist. She found out that her childhood crush,
Speaker 1: who she had been obsessed with and in love with
Speaker 1: for the majority of her adolescents, turned out to be
Speaker 1: her cousin. Imagine if you found out not when you know,
Speaker 1: not a childhood crush. Imagine if you found out like.
Speaker 2: There was a couple that found out in America. She
Speaker 2: did the DNA tests.
Speaker 4: She found out that her husband or fiance was a
Speaker 4: direct relation to her, and she was going to bury
Speaker 4: that information. Did she tell him I can't remember, I'm
Speaker 4: on the edge of my seat, Producier Grace wife to
Speaker 4: look it up? Okay, So there was a couple who discovered,
Speaker 4: after ten years of marriage and having three children, that
Speaker 4: they were cousins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they found out via DA.
Speaker 1: You just stay if you're being married and you've got kids,
Speaker 1: it's gone too far.
Speaker 2: You're in two D.
Speaker 1: You've already done all that. You're in white lotus territory,
Speaker 1: just staying there. Look, I mean, we opened up the
Speaker 1: text line and also I did a call out on
Speaker 1: my Instagram for this. You would be shocked by how
Speaker 1: many people discovered really salacious things about their families or
Speaker 1: about their lives. This One girl wrote in and said
Speaker 1: that her grandma had six kids and they all did
Speaker 1: their ancestry tests as grandchildren, and they found out that
Speaker 1: the grandma had been having an affair with the farmer
Speaker 1: who lived on the farm next door in Italian farmer
Speaker 1: and the youngest three children were not actually their grandfather's
Speaker 1: but it was this Italian farmers. So three of the
Speaker 1: kids had the Italian heritage in DNA, and they were
Speaker 1: all linked.
Speaker 2: To a different dad. They were all having a rumble
Speaker 2: behind the shed o.
Speaker 1: No, they weren't just her, just the grandma. The kids
Speaker 1: absolutely were not rumbling.
Speaker 2: They they all weren't. But they were wow. Good on her.
Speaker 1: People who found out that their biological dad just wasn't
Speaker 1: like their dad, wasn't their dad. Loads of those came in.
Speaker 1: That would be a really sad discovery imagining thirty years
Speaker 1: old and finding out that your dad's not actually a
Speaker 1: biological dad.
Speaker 2: No, that that is gut wrenching.
Speaker 1: And your mum did the dirty all those over there.
Speaker 1: Another girl wrote, my sister found out that she has
Speaker 1: a different dad. There's a lot of dads out here
Speaker 1: that are finding out that they either have kids that
Speaker 1: they didn't know they had, or that they're not the
Speaker 1: father to the kids they thought they did have.
Speaker 2: I just think let dead dogs lie. What that's the saying,
Speaker 2: isn't it.
Speaker 4: This is why I would worry about going and doing
Speaker 4: a test, not that I think anything would come of it,
Speaker 4: but I'm happy with my life.
Speaker 2: I don't need the disruption. If it came out then
Speaker 2: my dad wasn't my dad, which he definitely is. Hang On,
Speaker 2: I don't wanays to go anywhere. My dad is my dad.
Speaker 4: I don't have it queries, But I'm just saying, sometimes
Speaker 4: I think ignorance is bliss.
Speaker 2: How's this one?
Speaker 1: This girl found out that Ivan Malatt is her dad's
Speaker 1: second cousin.
Speaker 2: See, you know that's that's that's a skeleton in a
Speaker 2: wardrobe and a closet.
Speaker 1: You don't need to know about it.
Speaker 2: You're related to a psychopath. What are you gonna do
Speaker 2: with that information?
Speaker 4: Anyway?
Speaker 1: We've got a caller on the line, Rosie, What did
Speaker 1: you find out from your ancestry DNA.
Speaker 5: Hibrit high time? It wasn't myself directly, but it was
Speaker 5: a family member. It was probably in her late fifties
Speaker 5: at the time, who'd been doing the whole ancestry journey
Speaker 5: for a long amount of time with her sister, and
Speaker 5: her dad wasn't her real dad and it was actually
Speaker 5: the next door neighbor when she was growing up.
Speaker 1: Links of the neighbor though, how did she get there?
Speaker 5: I think maybe that family had also been doing kind
Speaker 5: of their own journey, so there was already DNA kind
Speaker 5: of in the system that was able to be linked. Yeah,
Speaker 5: bit of a shock.
Speaker 2: So did his neighbor. What's the outcome here? Did the
Speaker 2: neighbor take her on? As like the dad?
Speaker 5: Look, I'm not sure if he was actually alive, but
Speaker 5: i do know that she's now in touch with the
Speaker 5: children that he did have, So she has kind of
Speaker 5: got other siblings out there, and she's in very much
Speaker 5: the same mindset as you said, Britt, Like, you know,
Speaker 5: my great grandfather was her dad, that's who raised her.
Speaker 5: So still kind of her opinion, but kind of good
Speaker 5: story is that she has, yeah, kind of got some
Speaker 5: more family members out of it.
Speaker 2: So that's nice, all right? You sold me I'll go
Speaker 2: do one.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do one because I'm frighten to
Speaker 1: what I might find out.
Speaker 3: To be honest, you need to do one because you've
Speaker 3: done it and it came back inconclusive so either they're
Speaker 3: saying that you're one of those avatars and your DNA
Speaker 3: doesn't match the humans, or something is amiss, so we need.
Speaker 2: To get to the bottom of that.
Speaker 1: That is not a story arc that I want to
Speaker 1: unpack on radio, that.
Speaker 2: You're an avatar? Did you're not related to your parents?
Speaker 1: All right, guys, Well that is it from US Today.
