00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.319
Hello, guys. Welcome back to Internet Frenzy.

00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:05.440
This is Whitney, your host. And my co -host is

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:07.540
not here at the moment. He's literally outside

00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:11.060
cleaning our car. But that is Joe. And he'll

00:00:11.060 --> 00:00:13.560
be joining us in this episode, probably in about

00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.739
10 minutes or so. But our daughter is going to

00:00:16.739 --> 00:00:18.440
wake up from her nap. So I'm like, we need to

00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.559
get started on this episode. So here I am. Joe

00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.879
and I have been extremely sick the past, like,

00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.519
nine days. I don't know what the heck we got.

00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:32.890
It wasn't COVID. It was some like cold but on

00:00:32.890 --> 00:00:36.390
steroids and it was absolutely horrible. So if

00:00:36.390 --> 00:00:40.170
I sound a little sick, it's because I still am

00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:43.469
really. So sorry about that. But we're just gonna

00:00:43.469 --> 00:00:46.130
jump into it. So last week or two weeks ago,

00:00:46.130 --> 00:00:48.109
I should say happy Halloween. I'm sure everyone

00:00:48.109 --> 00:00:50.729
had a great Halloween. We did too. It was really,

00:00:50.729 --> 00:00:54.390
really fun. But that episode was Hallow's Eve

00:00:54.390 --> 00:00:58.570
and the stories were the red sweater story where

00:00:58.859 --> 00:01:01.359
The girls felt unsafe and they left and when

00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.479
they came back, there was like a burnt red sweater

00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.519
on the floor. And then there was the girl trick

00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.099
-or -treating alone and no one knew who this

00:01:09.099 --> 00:01:10.739
little girl was and she was trick -or -treating

00:01:10.739 --> 00:01:13.959
at like 10, 10 .30 at night. And then there's

00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.500
the creepy mailman where the mailman became obsessed

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:21.319
with the girl, the tenant. And then there was

00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.849
the imaginary friend story. this little girl

00:01:23.849 --> 00:01:28.189
basically could see ghosts and she knew a lot

00:01:28.189 --> 00:01:30.129
of details about this girl that actually lived

00:01:30.129 --> 00:01:34.709
in that home and that had died. So those are

00:01:34.709 --> 00:01:38.989
the four stories. So the fake of that week's

00:01:38.989 --> 00:01:42.170
episode was the imaginary friend where the little

00:01:42.170 --> 00:01:45.510
girl claimed to see this friend that had died

00:01:45.510 --> 00:01:47.989
in that home originally and know that one was

00:01:47.989 --> 00:01:50.409
fake. But I have heard stories of this happening.

00:01:50.829 --> 00:01:54.980
So I mean, it's not that fake, right? Okay. Well,

00:01:54.980 --> 00:01:57.280
this week's episode, we actually did a poll on

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.260
our Instagram story asking our followers which

00:02:01.260 --> 00:02:04.900
episode theme we should do. And the one that

00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:07.640
won it was the one that was the most voted for

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:11.000
was family secrets uncovered. So that is going

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.240
to be this week's theme. And I'm really excited.

00:02:14.259 --> 00:02:17.060
I've got really good stories for you. And we're

00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:20.259
going to start off with my story. So it was posted

00:02:20.259 --> 00:02:24.659
on the subreddit FamilySecrets. My aunt faked

00:02:24.659 --> 00:02:27.539
her death and I just found out why. A few months

00:02:27.539 --> 00:02:30.259
ago, my mom had me help clean out the adit. We

00:02:30.259 --> 00:02:32.599
pulled an envelope full of sympathy cards from

00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:36.039
2003 addressed to my grandma about Aunt Denise's

00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.300
death. I was six when everyone whispered and

00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:40.840
left the funeral crying. My mom always shut down

00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.699
if anyone asked. I grew up thinking Denise was

00:02:43.699 --> 00:02:46.159
gone. Then last week I saw a comma on Facebook.

00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.449
Same first name. same birthday, same tiny wrist

00:02:49.449 --> 00:02:52.050
tattoo she had. I clicked the profile and my

00:02:52.050 --> 00:02:55.210
mouth went dry. It was her, alive, running a

00:02:55.210 --> 00:02:58.289
thrift shop two states away. I messaged her under

00:02:58.289 --> 00:03:00.629
the pretense of asking about an item in her online

00:03:00.629 --> 00:03:02.789
shop and she signed off with the nickname she

00:03:02.789 --> 00:03:06.849
used to call me, Mece. Instant confirmation for

00:03:06.849 --> 00:03:09.330
me. So I started pulling public records and old

00:03:09.330 --> 00:03:11.830
local threads. There was no hospital record,

00:03:11.930 --> 00:03:14.789
no official death certificate in any county database

00:03:14.789 --> 00:03:18.030
and the only obituary was a printed one my grandma

00:03:18.030 --> 00:03:20.349
handed out at the funeral. Here's what makes

00:03:20.349 --> 00:03:22.550
the cover up make sense and why it was believable

00:03:22.550 --> 00:03:25.930
to everyone at the time. Denise was 19, pregnant,

00:03:26.050 --> 00:03:28.189
and my strict grandma threatened to disown her

00:03:28.189 --> 00:03:31.169
unless she gave the baby up. Denise refused and

00:03:31.169 --> 00:03:33.550
left town with a boyfriend that very night. There

00:03:33.550 --> 00:03:35.789
was no dramatic battle, she just walked away.

00:03:36.349 --> 00:03:38.250
Admitting that a granddaughter ran off with a

00:03:38.250 --> 00:03:40.250
boyfriend and refused family pressure would have

00:03:40.250 --> 00:03:42.590
been humiliating for my grandma and their community.

00:03:42.860 --> 00:03:46.099
so she chose a different story. But grandma quietly

00:03:46.099 --> 00:03:48.919
organized a funeral, told people Denise had passed

00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.919
away suddenly and insisted on a closed casket

00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.759
service. She paid for a small private ceremony

00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.900
and handed out printed sympathy cards she'd written

00:03:56.900 --> 00:03:59.639
herself. Because neighbors trusted grandma and

00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.620
there wasn't the internet noise there is now,

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.580
people accepted it and moved on. No one demanded

00:04:04.580 --> 00:04:06.539
proof and the family stopped asking questions

00:04:06.539 --> 00:04:08.819
after grandma said it was too painful to talk

00:04:08.819 --> 00:04:11.319
about. Denise Maynwild changed her last name

00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.319
moved two states away and built a quiet life.

00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.100
She's married, had kids, and opened a thrift

00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:19.699
store. She avoided social media for years, then

00:04:19.699 --> 00:04:22.139
slowly reentered it under her new name, but kept

00:04:22.139 --> 00:04:24.939
her profile private enough that only a chance

00:04:24.939 --> 00:04:28.360
comment linked her back to my circle. I haven't

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:30.120
told my mom or the rest of the family yet. I

00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.620
don't know if I should. Part of me wants to confront

00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:34.759
grandma, but part of me wonders if ripping the

00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.660
bandage off will only hurt more. Either way,

00:04:37.790 --> 00:04:40.310
I can't stop thinking about how many other truths

00:04:40.310 --> 00:04:42.410
in my childhood might have been convenient stories

00:04:42.410 --> 00:04:45.170
instead of reality. Has anyone else ever found

00:04:45.170 --> 00:04:47.430
out a relative was a race like this? How did

00:04:47.430 --> 00:04:52.050
you handle it? Whoa, I know. I know you are the

00:04:52.050 --> 00:04:55.029
mother of this child and you are going to literally

00:04:55.029 --> 00:04:57.470
fake their death because you are too prideful

00:04:57.470 --> 00:05:01.689
to have a 19 year old daughter give birth. Are

00:05:01.689 --> 00:05:05.290
we for real in 19? 19. That's not that I mean,

00:05:05.310 --> 00:05:07.350
it's young, obviously. But like, I mean, there's

00:05:07.350 --> 00:05:12.670
a whole TV show 16 and pregnant. Like do it a

00:05:12.670 --> 00:05:14.670
little bit earlier and you get famous apparently.

00:05:15.050 --> 00:05:18.370
Yeah, apparently. Don't do that kids. I cannot

00:05:18.370 --> 00:05:22.389
I it made me so sad for this girl. But also it's

00:05:22.389 --> 00:05:25.529
like good for her for knowing her worth and stepping

00:05:25.529 --> 00:05:29.410
away from that type of like, toxicity gets that

00:05:29.410 --> 00:05:32.319
made that mom probably would have just If not

00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.560
faked her death made her death real Yeah to avoid

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.100
the shame. I think she saved her own life by

00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:41.360
leaving Yeah, she said I'm not gonna let mom

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.639
take me out to save her reputation that lady's

00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:46.459
crazy And when people care that much about their

00:05:46.459 --> 00:05:48.980
reputation, I got nothing but bad feelings for

00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:52.259
them Legitimately, like I think that's like the

00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:54.620
scourge of society is like you'll be you're so

00:05:54.620 --> 00:05:56.279
concerned with how people are gonna perceive

00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.860
you and your Family that you would fake. Oh,

00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:02.110
it's insane. It's gross So some of the comments

00:06:02.110 --> 00:06:04.550
had me thinking. So this one's from you girl

00:06:04.550 --> 00:06:07.329
in love away. My family did something similar.

00:06:07.610 --> 00:06:10.269
My aunt ran away from an abusive husband and

00:06:10.269 --> 00:06:13.329
her mom told everyone she moved overseas. We

00:06:13.329 --> 00:06:15.410
didn't find out she was only one state away for

00:06:15.410 --> 00:06:19.750
15 years. Families can be wild. That is gnarly.

00:06:20.050 --> 00:06:22.709
I know. Here's another really good comment. You

00:06:22.709 --> 00:06:25.269
have to reach out to your aunt again. Imagine

00:06:25.269 --> 00:06:27.670
how she must feel knowing everyone thinks she's

00:06:27.670 --> 00:06:30.329
been dead for two decades. That poor woman. Do

00:06:30.329 --> 00:06:33.910
you think she knows that there was a fake funeral

00:06:33.910 --> 00:06:36.910
for her? I don't think so. Probably not. Yeah,

00:06:37.029 --> 00:06:38.810
I don't think she knows. But then again, how

00:06:38.810 --> 00:06:41.329
would she not like the whole social media thing?

00:06:41.850 --> 00:06:43.769
You think that she would see like, like, don't

00:06:43.769 --> 00:06:45.889
people create Facebook groups? Like, hey, come,

00:06:46.069 --> 00:06:48.790
come to the funeral for my aunt. I don't think

00:06:48.790 --> 00:06:52.350
social media at that time was like super crazy.

00:06:52.790 --> 00:06:55.430
And I don't know. I mean, she obviously the grandma

00:06:55.430 --> 00:06:58.509
probably blocked the daughter. But one thing

00:06:58.509 --> 00:07:01.470
I thought was like, do you think the mom, so

00:07:01.470 --> 00:07:03.350
obviously there's the grandma and then there's

00:07:03.350 --> 00:07:06.170
the girl, the OP that wrote this and OP has a

00:07:06.170 --> 00:07:09.089
mom, right? And that's her mom. Do you think

00:07:09.089 --> 00:07:12.029
the mom like actually knows what went down and

00:07:12.029 --> 00:07:14.810
she's just playing along with the fake funeral?

00:07:14.930 --> 00:07:16.850
Or does she actually genuinely think her daughter,

00:07:16.970 --> 00:07:19.910
her sister is dead? No, she's definitely playing

00:07:19.910 --> 00:07:25.529
along a hundred percent. Ew. I could never. There's

00:07:25.529 --> 00:07:29.339
got to be. There would have to be proof of the

00:07:29.339 --> 00:07:32.399
death. Like, I'm just saying, if sister leaves

00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.139
town because she's pissed off, mom knows that

00:07:35.139 --> 00:07:40.379
she's not dead. Dang. 100%. Dang. Because I was

00:07:40.379 --> 00:07:43.519
like, yeah, it's like a whole family -wide cover

00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.240
-up scheme kind of vibe. Yeah, but literally

00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.800
that's like normal family behavior, no? Yeah,

00:07:49.819 --> 00:07:53.009
that's true. I feel like that's like what families

00:07:53.009 --> 00:07:55.730
do when they've got their toxic like patterned

00:07:55.730 --> 00:07:58.949
behavior. Yeah. Dang, that's crazy. So anyways,

00:07:59.129 --> 00:08:01.230
that's my first story. I came out with a banger

00:08:01.230 --> 00:08:04.209
because this one just blew my fricking mind.

00:08:04.709 --> 00:08:07.670
I just yeah, you faking your daughter's funeral.

00:08:08.389 --> 00:08:12.410
Dirty. Dirty. Dirty dogs. Oh, is it your turn?

00:08:12.550 --> 00:08:15.790
It's my turn now. Okay. Story number two. This

00:08:15.790 --> 00:08:18.480
one comes from Today I F'd Up. Today, I effed

00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.079
up by talking about lies my mother told me as

00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:23.759
a child and accidentally exposing a family secret

00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:29.240
and tearing the family apart. OK, here we go.

00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.379
You sound so sick, by the way. It's fine. Hey,

00:08:32.620 --> 00:08:34.720
guys, if I sound if I sound sick, it's because

00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.899
I am. I know I've already given them the update.

00:08:38.059 --> 00:08:42.659
Day six, antibiotics, steroids. Deal with it.

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.000
I went to a funeral for my great aunt recently.

00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.240
It was a bit triggered when I saw her daughters

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.279
and grandkids mourning while my mother used the

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.440
gathering as a place to show off her new teeth

00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.340
and tell everyone how good she's been doing in

00:08:55.340 --> 00:08:58.120
her life. But that new teeth life though? Yeah,

00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.440
it's got to feel good. Come on. You got to smile.

00:09:00.700 --> 00:09:02.639
Guys, I used to sell dental implants. I love

00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.159
when people get new teeth. It's my favorite.

00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:08.240
They're so excited. Life changing pain. Continuing.

00:09:08.620 --> 00:09:10.600
The next night, I got together with one of the

00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.740
daughters who I've always referred to as my cousin

00:09:12.740 --> 00:09:15.100
because we're closer in age than she is with

00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:17.740
my mom. So basically it's her aunt but they call

00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:20.139
each other cousins. And we drank a lot and started

00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:22.259
venting about my mother who has caused me a lot

00:09:22.259 --> 00:09:24.419
of pain and trauma and tells incredible lies

00:09:24.419 --> 00:09:26.799
for attention and everyone knows this about her.

00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.080
Of all the heinous stories I told, one stuck

00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.220
out to my cousin who proceeded to call her older

00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:34.320
sister very drunk and tell the story. The next

00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.460
morning I was getting texts and calls from my

00:09:36.460 --> 00:09:38.759
family saying that was not my story to tell and

00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:41.019
that I tore the family apart. Apparently my mom

00:09:41.019 --> 00:09:44.220
wasn't lying when she told me their father had

00:09:44.220 --> 00:09:47.740
essayed. women in the family. This was exposed

00:09:47.740 --> 00:09:50.720
days after their mother's funeral and I'm a complete

00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.039
selfish a -hole for saying anything. My grandmother,

00:09:54.100 --> 00:09:56.320
mother, and I have all been cut off from the

00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.919
oldest daughter's life and children who were

00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.360
a huge part of my grandma's life. The most shameful

00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.419
part for me is that I went to the funeral hoping

00:10:03.419 --> 00:10:05.559
I could show the family I'm not the person my

00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.080
mom has been painting me as and finally felt

00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.360
accepted by them. I accidentally proved her right

00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.500
and destroyed the family by trying to expose

00:10:12.500 --> 00:10:15.059
my mother's lies. I guess I thought it was another

00:10:15.059 --> 00:10:17.600
lie, but maybe drunkenly thought the family could

00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.620
heal if it was true now that their mother wasn't

00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:23.240
around to be hurt by the secret. Bad timing to

00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.940
say the least. We are being painted as liars

00:10:25.940 --> 00:10:28.279
by the oldest daughter because the women who

00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.620
were abused all admit it was the truth upon being

00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:32.860
asked about it. I had a feeling seeing my mom

00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:34.820
would be a bad experience for everyone because

00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:37.419
we've always been toxic together, but holy hell,

00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.899
I definitely outdid it this time. Self -fulfilling

00:10:39.899 --> 00:10:43.340
prophecy. TLDR? Days after my aunt's funeral,

00:10:43.460 --> 00:10:45.600
I vented to my cousin about all the lies my mother

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.740
told me as a child, but the one about their father

00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:49.580
abusing women in the family turned out to be

00:10:49.580 --> 00:10:52.120
true and it devastated the family. That's a crazy

00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.159
story. Yeah, that's that's gnarly. Oh, really?

00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.840
You're just kidding. Could you imagine who like

00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.840
who are you? That's a crazy story. Could be fake.

00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.539
Could be fake because come on. Story number three.

00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.139
It was revealed that my dad has a secret other

00:11:08.139 --> 00:11:11.299
family and now there is drama. The story is that

00:11:11.299 --> 00:11:13.440
my dad had a child with another woman shortly

00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.639
after he married my mom but before I was born.

00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.539
My brother that I didn't know about is 32. I'm

00:11:18.539 --> 00:11:22.059
28F and my younger brothers are 26 and 24. My

00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:24.279
dad gave the other woman money over the years

00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.460
and her and my brother knew my dad was married

00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:28.980
and had a family but none of us knew about them.

00:11:29.500 --> 00:11:32.299
The only reason my brother 32M revealed that

00:11:32.299 --> 00:11:34.720
secret is because his son needs a bone marrow

00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.200
transplant. and they are looking for a match

00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.460
and anyone with a blood relation is the best

00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:42.080
chance for one. My mom feels betrayed obviously

00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.940
and I doubt their marriage will survive but I

00:11:44.940 --> 00:11:46.919
hate all the drama and gossiping that is happening

00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.919
in my family. I hate drama in general and this

00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.519
is like my worst nightmare and now we're all

00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.639
sitting here waiting for DNA results that can

00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:57.460
make things even more complicated because if

00:11:57.460 --> 00:12:00.860
one of us is a match for him then what? Do we

00:12:00.860 --> 00:12:02.759
just meet this whole other family and pretend

00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:08.309
we're not furious? Wow. I know, but terrible.

00:12:08.710 --> 00:12:12.309
But that's her. I mean, OK, I'll put myself at

00:12:12.309 --> 00:12:14.950
that point. Yeah, I'll put myself in that situation.

00:12:15.110 --> 00:12:17.429
What are you doing in my world? Hypothetically,

00:12:17.429 --> 00:12:20.169
that could happen to me at some point, right?

00:12:20.330 --> 00:12:23.330
Like with my family dynamic, yours, mine and

00:12:23.330 --> 00:12:25.669
ours, like there could be an extra sibling out

00:12:25.669 --> 00:12:28.289
there somewhere. I don't believe that's the case.

00:12:28.389 --> 00:12:31.070
But just because I can put myself in that situation,

00:12:31.190 --> 00:12:33.730
I would be mad, but I would definitely donate.

00:12:33.909 --> 00:12:38.919
There's no doubt. Your bone? Yes. Easily. Wow.

00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.019
I would not. Well, it doesn't cost me anything.

00:12:42.179 --> 00:12:43.820
It doesn't like, it's not like I'm like, hey,

00:12:43.940 --> 00:12:47.100
here's my arm. Yeah. Like I gave it to you. Now

00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:49.679
I don't have an arm. What do they do then? Is

00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:51.379
there surgery involved? Like I actually really

00:12:51.379 --> 00:12:55.000
don't know what feels of it. Don't ask me questions.

00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:57.759
I don't know. Wait, you really don't know? He

00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:00.840
needs a bone marrow transplant. I'm just imagining

00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.159
it's like a kidney transplant or something, but

00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:06.019
bone marrow. Well, here's what entails if you

00:13:06.019 --> 00:13:08.940
are a match and you are going to do this, you'll

00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:11.960
meet with the transplant team. You'll do a donor

00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.480
workup, blood work, physical exam, medical history

00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.700
review, a chest x -ray and ECG. And then there's

00:13:17.700 --> 00:13:20.779
two main ways to donate, which is the peripheral

00:13:20.779 --> 00:13:25.139
blood stem cell donation or the bone marrow harvest.

00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.830
And that's from the hip bone. but basically you'll

00:13:27.830 --> 00:13:30.289
get this injection for four or five days before

00:13:30.289 --> 00:13:33.090
donation and then your blood is drawn from one

00:13:33.090 --> 00:13:35.330
arm run through a machine that collects the stem

00:13:35.330 --> 00:13:37.389
cells and the rest of your blood goes back into

00:13:37.389 --> 00:13:39.750
your other arm. The procedure takes four to six

00:13:39.750 --> 00:13:42.159
hours and you usually go home the same day. Okay,

00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:45.320
so that's not bad. No, I would do that. But here's

00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:47.679
the other option is the bone marrow harvest.

00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:50.600
And you're under general anesthesia for that.

00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:52.919
And they draw marrow from your pelvic bone using

00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:55.059
a needle, no incisions. And that takes one to

00:13:55.059 --> 00:13:57.600
two hours and usually go home that day or the

00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:00.159
next day. Yeah, I would do it. Like that's gonna

00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.820
keep this person alive. I would be stoked too,

00:14:02.940 --> 00:14:04.740
by the way. To have like another half sibling.

00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.600
Like you could be mad like, dad, like, why didn't

00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.360
you tell me? so there's sibling blah blah like

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.799
rage out all you want but you have a sibling

00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:18.419
now you share dna with another person out there

00:14:18.419 --> 00:14:21.159
in the world think about it let me let me just

00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.000
pose it to you hypothetically you don't want

00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:26.080
to imagine that that's possible for you but hypothetically

00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:29.440
it is if you knew yes you would be very mad at

00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.539
your dad but wouldn't you be like oh my gosh

00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:34.700
i have a sister that's 15 or whatever i don't

00:14:34.700 --> 00:14:38.240
know no yeah i I just I feel for the mom in this

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:40.759
situation of course because she's also gonna

00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:43.080
be mama bear and want to protect her kids and

00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.320
be like F you Husband like I don't want my kids

00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.019
having to go through that crap. I just think

00:14:48.019 --> 00:14:51.200
it would affect the mom More than the children

00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:54.039
when it comes to like anger or hatred towards

00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:57.860
that situation Yeah, but that's a you're just

00:14:57.860 --> 00:15:00.799
talking if you're talking life and death of this

00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.460
human I don't think the mom's gonna give a crap

00:15:03.460 --> 00:15:07.090
about that kid She doesn't have to necessarily

00:15:07.090 --> 00:15:10.389
care to know the morally It'd be good for somebody

00:15:10.389 --> 00:15:13.370
that has the same Has the ability to step in

00:15:13.370 --> 00:15:16.549
to step in no because the I just feel like as

00:15:16.549 --> 00:15:21.149
the mom This other woman knew about her about

00:15:21.149 --> 00:15:25.029
her kids the entire time Maybe not it says in

00:15:25.029 --> 00:15:28.250
the post that the mom knew and the kid so they

00:15:28.250 --> 00:15:32.879
knew the whole time never friend and never revealed,

00:15:33.139 --> 00:15:35.480
never did anything, just let the husband pay

00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:38.279
their bills and went on about their day. Like

00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:40.820
I feel like as the other woman, I'd be like,

00:15:40.820 --> 00:15:43.539
F you. I'm not giving you a damn thing kind of

00:15:43.539 --> 00:15:45.480
thing. I mean, who knows? Maybe I would, but

00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.759
I do. Yeah. I feel like you always do this. You

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.100
always go so far on the like one side when in

00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:54.360
reality you have a heart and that's a human that

00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.639
like if it's like going to keep the kid alive.

00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:59.500
He's not a kid. He's 32. It's going to keep the

00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:02.580
32 year old alive. You're just thinking of the

00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:05.019
betrayal, but just think of the fact that's a

00:16:05.019 --> 00:16:08.840
human, and your kids could save the other human's

00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.779
life. You can get a divorce from a guy, okay?

00:16:13.460 --> 00:16:17.220
It can ruin your whole world, but to save a life

00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:19.620
that didn't have anything to do with what's causing

00:16:19.620 --> 00:16:21.779
you pain, you would say, go ahead and do that,

00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.759
kids. No. Just say you would. No. Just say you

00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:27.179
would. No, I say, you should have told me you

00:16:27.179 --> 00:16:30.360
were a freaking lying mother and ... Good luck.

00:16:30.580 --> 00:16:32.200
No, I'm just kidding. But there's a comment.

00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:36.799
Okay. This is from IcyPlans5621. A full sibling

00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:39.379
is the best chance for a bone marrow match. The

00:16:39.379 --> 00:16:42.200
next most likely match is a complete stranger.

00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:45.779
Half siblings or half aunts are astronomically...

00:16:45.779 --> 00:16:49.360
Astronomically? Astronomically? Astronomically?

00:16:49.980 --> 00:16:54.159
Astronomically. Astronomically. Astrono... I

00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:57.519
don't... Astronomically, yes, that's the word.

00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:02.740
Okay. Oh my gosh. That is so embarrassing. Astronomically

00:17:02.740 --> 00:17:05.319
less likely to be a match. I'm sorry, but no

00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:07.200
one from your family will match with this child.

00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:09.279
I don't know why they keep calling him a child.

00:17:09.339 --> 00:17:12.200
He's 32, but okay. Source of my knowledge, my

00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:14.539
parent needed a bone marrow transplant and I

00:17:14.539 --> 00:17:17.240
was told I would be a 50 % match. Sorry about

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.299
the sick child and your family turmoil. Your

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:22.829
dad stinks. Kate. We hate dads, we hate cheating,

00:17:23.029 --> 00:17:26.210
okay? Guys, we hate them all. But guess what?

00:17:26.529 --> 00:17:29.809
What? Save the kid. Save the 32 -year -old kid's

00:17:29.809 --> 00:17:32.490
life. I'm 33. I hope people still refer to me

00:17:32.490 --> 00:17:34.750
as a kid. Call me a kid. I'm a kid. Save my life.

00:17:34.809 --> 00:17:36.470
You're a cute little kid. I'll save your life.

00:17:36.650 --> 00:17:38.549
Thanks. I would do a bone marrow transplant for

00:17:38.549 --> 00:17:41.309
you now that I know what it is. You wouldn't?

00:17:41.809 --> 00:17:45.690
I would. That's good. I'd give you my gold water

00:17:45.690 --> 00:17:49.089
if I could. Too soon. I miss wearing gold water

00:17:49.089 --> 00:17:52.750
so much. That's funny. So sad, you guys. I hate

00:17:52.750 --> 00:17:55.910
it. All right. Anyways, now we're on to Joe's

00:17:55.910 --> 00:17:58.650
story. And I'm so excited to hear it. This is

00:17:58.650 --> 00:18:01.849
story number four. This one's, this one's good.

00:18:02.029 --> 00:18:05.109
This one comes from M .I .D .A Hole. Oh, fun.

00:18:05.390 --> 00:18:09.410
M .I .D .A Hole. M .I .D .A Hole. For being upset

00:18:09.410 --> 00:18:11.950
and hurt that my best friend has been in a secret

00:18:11.950 --> 00:18:13.970
relationship with my little sister for almost

00:18:13.970 --> 00:18:17.329
two years. And I only found out after they got

00:18:17.329 --> 00:18:22.609
engaged on Instagram. No way this is real. Are

00:18:22.609 --> 00:18:25.829
you kidding? Oh, by the grammar you will know.

00:18:27.470 --> 00:18:31.269
Good one. Last week I was scrolling through Instagram

00:18:31.269 --> 00:18:33.769
like usual and my best friend since forever posted

00:18:33.769 --> 00:18:36.009
a story, which was weird because he almost never

00:18:36.009 --> 00:18:38.190
posts anything ever. So I opened it and it was

00:18:38.190 --> 00:18:40.130
a picture of him hugging and kissing my little

00:18:40.130 --> 00:18:43.769
sister with the she said yes caption. And I was

00:18:43.769 --> 00:18:46.529
like, what the actual F? and I called him multiple

00:18:46.529 --> 00:18:48.569
times but he didn't answer and I went home to

00:18:48.569 --> 00:18:50.509
see my sister and ask her what the hell is going

00:18:50.509 --> 00:18:52.369
on and he was sitting right there at my house

00:18:52.369 --> 00:18:54.269
hugging my little sister and my parents were

00:18:54.269 --> 00:18:57.069
there they were all clearly waiting for me I

00:18:57.069 --> 00:18:59.849
exploded and asked what the hell is going on

00:19:00.029 --> 00:19:02.369
and they just told me to calm down and they explained

00:19:02.369 --> 00:19:04.410
that they've been in a relationship for almost

00:19:04.410 --> 00:19:06.890
two years and their excuse for not telling me

00:19:06.890 --> 00:19:09.470
about it was that he was a huge f -boy in the

00:19:09.470 --> 00:19:11.869
past like he really loved my sister and they

00:19:11.869 --> 00:19:13.670
didn't want to tell me about it until they made

00:19:13.670 --> 00:19:16.309
it official. I was understandably angry and upset

00:19:16.309 --> 00:19:18.509
and just left. My parents had been leaving me

00:19:18.509 --> 00:19:21.009
messages and voice mails telling me to stop overreacting

00:19:21.009 --> 00:19:22.829
and being dramatic and that their relationship

00:19:22.829 --> 00:19:25.509
has nothing to do with me and to just be happy

00:19:25.509 --> 00:19:27.529
for them. He's been apologizing to me saying

00:19:27.529 --> 00:19:29.589
he never meant to hurt me and that he loves me

00:19:29.589 --> 00:19:31.730
but I just can't see or hear them right now.

00:19:31.950 --> 00:19:33.930
Sure he's a great guy and is pretty successful

00:19:33.930 --> 00:19:36.069
and I know he's gonna treat my little sister

00:19:36.069 --> 00:19:38.150
good and I'm happy for them honestly but I'm

00:19:38.150 --> 00:19:40.230
hurt about how they thought I was some controlling

00:19:40.230 --> 00:19:42.710
d -bag and kept something like this hidden from

00:19:42.710 --> 00:19:45.410
me for two damn years which included him probably

00:19:45.410 --> 00:19:48.130
lying to my face a ton of times to go with my

00:19:48.130 --> 00:19:50.250
sister. Am I the asshole here for being hurt

00:19:50.250 --> 00:19:52.130
and angry about them hiding their relationship

00:19:52.130 --> 00:19:54.130
from me and should I have just took it and moved

00:19:54.130 --> 00:19:59.359
on? This is weird to me. One, how do you hide

00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:02.920
a relationship from your own brother for two

00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:05.680
years? Did he live in the house the whole two

00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:09.059
years or was he gone? We don't know that much

00:20:09.059 --> 00:20:10.680
at all. Because I feel like if he didn't live

00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:12.660
there, let's say he's in college or whatever

00:20:12.660 --> 00:20:14.720
and she lives at home with her parents, that's

00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:16.619
a little different, that's a little easier. But

00:20:16.619 --> 00:20:18.980
if they live in the same house at the same time,

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.299
that's very, very weird to me. I don't think

00:20:22.299 --> 00:20:24.910
that they're living in the same house, Yeah,

00:20:24.910 --> 00:20:27.210
we have no context, so I can't say for sure.

00:20:27.450 --> 00:20:29.549
Highest rated comment, and this is one of those

00:20:29.549 --> 00:20:32.170
ones that like, it did not go viral by any means

00:20:32.170 --> 00:20:36.569
on Reddit. So it's kind of a sleeper. This one

00:20:36.569 --> 00:20:38.430
says, there are two options here in this weird

00:20:38.430 --> 00:20:41.130
tale. One, everyone in your life is a raging

00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:43.450
asshole willing to lie to you for extended periods

00:20:43.450 --> 00:20:46.670
of time with no remorse. Or two, they didn't

00:20:46.670 --> 00:20:48.970
tell you for a reason beyond he was an f -boy

00:20:48.970 --> 00:20:51.069
that you're not sharing with us. There has to

00:20:51.069 --> 00:20:54.519
be more as to why they didn't tell him. 100%.

00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:58.740
It's one or the other. And OP responded. OP has

00:20:58.740 --> 00:21:01.119
since deleted their account, but OP responded.

00:21:01.859 --> 00:21:03.660
I once beat a guy that was trying to talk to

00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:06.200
my little sister when he was 21 and she was 16.

00:21:06.579 --> 00:21:08.680
He probably thought I'd beat him too, but he

00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:14.000
actually helped me beat that guy's ass. I don't

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:16.339
know why I'm trying to censor stuff, but he actually

00:21:16.339 --> 00:21:18.599
helped me beat that guy's ass and it's not like

00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.440
my friend's a pedo. He's two years older than

00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:23.160
my sister, and they're both adults, so I don't

00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.619
see the problem here. Okay. Okay. So they did

00:21:26.619 --> 00:21:28.940
not live in the home then, I don't think. No.

00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.220
So that makes more sense how they were able to

00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:36.000
keep it a secret. Wow. They went and beat a kid

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:39.279
up. Yeah, apparently. I think he's just got to

00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:41.740
move on, just accept they didn't tell him and

00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:45.900
just wish them the best. It would be sad like

00:21:45.900 --> 00:21:48.380
to feel like wow, I'm really like that out of

00:21:48.380 --> 00:21:51.000
touch with my siblings life Or like they didn't

00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.819
feel like they could tell me like that would

00:21:52.819 --> 00:21:55.160
hurt. I would see yeah, you you definitely want

00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.099
to feel Involved you feel like a violation of

00:21:58.099 --> 00:22:00.220
trust. Yeah, anyway, cuz you're close to both

00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:02.779
people and you're like, whoa Yeah, like I'm betrayed

00:22:02.779 --> 00:22:08.599
on both sides here And that's all the comments

00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:11.140
are basically saying something's not lining up

00:22:11.140 --> 00:22:13.700
here with your story. There has to be a reason

00:22:13.849 --> 00:22:15.430
If what you're saying is true, there has to be

00:22:15.430 --> 00:22:17.789
a reason they didn't tell you. Yeah, that's him.

00:22:18.049 --> 00:22:20.309
All right. You won best story of the episode.

00:22:20.329 --> 00:22:22.349
We should start doing that. Let's vote. Which

00:22:22.349 --> 00:22:25.789
one was the best story? I mean, you hate that.

00:22:25.789 --> 00:22:28.130
Sure. No, I'm down to do it. I just I want to

00:22:28.130 --> 00:22:31.230
get a trophy every single episode from you. I'll

00:22:31.230 --> 00:22:34.990
order some Amazon trophies. Yeah, that was a

00:22:34.990 --> 00:22:37.470
fun episode. But before we put a bow on it, we're

00:22:37.470 --> 00:22:39.250
going to play a little game. Yeah, I'm ready.

00:22:39.809 --> 00:22:41.829

four. It's going to be, it could be people, places,

00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.140
things, doesn't matter of any category. We'll

00:23:00.140 --> 00:23:02.099
just decide. And we feel like Mount Rushmore

00:23:02.099 --> 00:23:04.160
really represents like the best of the best,

00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.440
