1:00
Speaker 1: and hire a guy with no Clark is my good? Yeah?
1:06
Speaker 1: Clark is taking our kids and I'm sitting at the
1:09
Speaker 1: wine bar. Oh, so you're going to go to California adventure?
1:12
Speaker 1: Well and exciting news. This episode is sponsored by twenty
1:16
Speaker 1: three and me Um, and throughout this entire episode, we
1:20
Speaker 1: will be sharing our results. And I have to say
1:23
Speaker 1: thank you to Whitney for holding me accountable to actually
1:26
Speaker 1: getting this done, because last time she was on the pod,
1:30
Speaker 1: we talked about doing a twenty three and me and
1:33
Speaker 1: we were both like, no, no, I feel scared, and
1:37
Speaker 1: now more than ever now that I've done it, and
1:39
Speaker 1: especially everything that's been going on with my melanoma results.
1:43
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of us have done three
1:46
Speaker 1: and me because of ancestry and wanting to know like
1:48
Speaker 1: who were related to or how Whitney was related to
1:53
Speaker 1: Heather and whatnot, but which I wanted if it shows
1:56
Speaker 1: up on your twenty three and me. But for me,
1:58
Speaker 1: the health is such an important thing that you can
2:01
Speaker 1: learn through twenty three and me. I even spoke to
2:03
Speaker 1: my doctor about it, and he said, this is changing
2:05
Speaker 1: the game because you will know about your genetic disposition.
2:09
Speaker 1: Like even for me, when I pull up my health
2:11
Speaker 1: highlights and I go to skin cancer, it says melanoma
2:15
Speaker 1: increased likelihood. Yeah, so what did you say that as well? Yes,
2:20
Speaker 1: so we did both Eddie and I did three Me
2:24
Speaker 1: on camera. I don't think it ever aired, but it
2:26
Speaker 1: was probably about five years ago, and um it was
2:29
Speaker 1: right after his friend had had a heart attack at
2:31
Speaker 1: so we wanted to know health wise. I didn't really
2:34
Speaker 1: care too much about family members, but I did. I
2:39
Speaker 1: found out that I was prone to type two diabetes,
2:42
Speaker 1: which I am on met form and now because my
2:45
Speaker 1: insolent resistant um hereditary hemochromatosis, and I have one of
2:50
Speaker 1: the variants, and to have it you have to have
2:53
Speaker 1: both variants from the father and the mother. My father
2:55
Speaker 1: has it, and my son Ryan has hemochromatosis and probably
3:00
Speaker 1: pretty much guaranteed that my son Spencer has too, he
3:05
Speaker 1: hasn't been tested yet. And then also macular degeneration, so
3:09
Speaker 1: my mom has it. I have one of the variants,
3:12
Speaker 1: but you need both, I believe to actually get it.
3:15
Speaker 1: So okay, so I have a question, but I'm curious
3:18
Speaker 1: for you, Whitney. In your ancestry report, did it actually
3:22
Speaker 1: say that Heather is your second cousin? Okay, well, I don't.
3:26
Speaker 1: I don't see Heather in here because I don't think
3:29
Speaker 1: she's done it, So you have to excu have downloaded
3:34
Speaker 1: the app. But um, if Heather were to do it,
3:37
Speaker 1: she for sure would be my second cousin once removed.
3:42
Speaker 1: It's our great grandparents that were siblings. Okay, so my
3:47
Speaker 1: great grandfather and her great grandmother. We're brother and sister.
3:52
Speaker 1: Oh yes, I mean some of some of this. The
3:55
Speaker 1: traits are like absolutely mind blowing, like do you have earwax?
3:58
Speaker 1: What type tis I color? You know? Do you have
4:02
Speaker 1: a cleft chin? Or Dan druff? Well in my health
4:06
Speaker 1: and traits like it is funny because it tells me like, um,
4:09
Speaker 1: really funny things. Now I'm out of it, but it's
4:12
Speaker 1: like pretty um sensitive to the smell of asparagus, like
4:17
Speaker 1: funny stuff like that, like down to details. And one
4:22
Speaker 1: that was interesting to me is I don't get great sleep.
4:26
Speaker 1: And it says that I'm most likely to not be
4:29
Speaker 1: a deep sleeper and then likely to consume a lot
4:33
Speaker 1: of caffeine. And I literally one of my worst habits
4:36
Speaker 1: is energy drinks, Like I have one right now? Oh no, yeah,
4:42
Speaker 1: I'm happy to say the chance that I do not
4:45
Speaker 1: have Dan druff? Oh do you have Dan dreff? No?
4:50
Speaker 1: I like this one. It says that I my muscle
4:53
Speaker 1: composition um common to be an elite athlete. That's a
4:58
Speaker 1: good one to have. I think mine was the opposite.
5:00
Speaker 1: I remember reading that I'm gonna look for that one.
5:04
Speaker 1: And most most likely to have bunian's cheek dimples. Oh
5:08
Speaker 1: a cleft chin? Is that this little dimple? Yeah? Yeah yeah?
5:14
Speaker 1: Isn't this crazy? It is crazy? So I like the
5:18
Speaker 1: newborn hair. So chance you had little to no hair.
5:21
Speaker 1: I had no hair until I was three. Oh yeah,
5:23
Speaker 1: and were you a toehead? Yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm
5:28
Speaker 1: chance to have freckles, which I do have freckles. It's
5:32
Speaker 1: just so bizarre. Like finger some of this stuff is
5:35
Speaker 1: like do you really need to know it? But it's
5:36
Speaker 1: it's interesting. Finger length ratio chance to your index finger
5:42
Speaker 1: is longer than your ring finger, Like, how do they
5:44
Speaker 1: know this? It's crazy? It's crazy. Oh, I found I
5:47
Speaker 1: found where you are so damn Jeff, I'm like, well,
5:55
Speaker 1: ear wax, I'm ninety three percent chance you have wet,
5:58
Speaker 1: sticky ear wax as my ear plugs keep falling out
6:02
Speaker 1: of my head. We're just talking about traits. Yeah, found
6:06
Speaker 1: where the traits were. That these are physical traits. They
6:09
Speaker 1: have taste and smell and weird and wonderful. What is
6:13
Speaker 1: under weird and wonderful? Oh the Bunyan's. I am more
6:16
Speaker 1: likely than average to have a bunyon and I do
6:19
Speaker 1: fear of heights, noop, fear of speed. Public speaking, I
6:23
Speaker 1: do have a fear Yeah, me too. What about ear
6:26
Speaker 1: lobe type detached earlobes are attached. I'm ages a chance
6:33
Speaker 1: to have detached earlobes, which I do. And what color
6:36
Speaker 1: are you? Brown? Eyes? Brown? Yeah? Brown? Yeah, they all
6:40
Speaker 1: fall under the brown. Hazel light hazel light brown. Okay.
6:45
Speaker 1: Mosquito bite frequency. I get eaten alive and it is
6:49
Speaker 1: lightly likely bitten as often as others. So I was
6:54
Speaker 1: really interested, obviously because I had shared with you both
6:58
Speaker 1: that I thought I was half German. But then I
7:02
Speaker 1: found out that my grandparents were both foster children and
7:05
Speaker 1: adopted right. So, and I even got a tattoo in
7:09
Speaker 1: German for my grandparents. Yeah. And it was really interesting
7:13
Speaker 1: because I had a red head, so I was like, well,
7:16
Speaker 1: I have to have Irish, your Scottish. Yeah, So when
7:21
Speaker 1: we get to the part of our ancestry, it was
7:23
Speaker 1: really interesting to break it down. It makes sense because
7:27
Speaker 1: when you're do you have you see in your traits
7:29
Speaker 1: the likelihood to have red hair minus five percent? Oh yeah,
7:35
Speaker 1: chance not to have red hair. So I had a
7:37
Speaker 1: six percent chance of having red hair. I am sixty
7:40
Speaker 1: chance you have stretched marks. I got. I got a
7:43
Speaker 1: few from being pregnant. But can you imagine how many
7:46
Speaker 1: people find out that this is like not there, Like
7:49
Speaker 1: that's not my dad, that's not my mom, like things
7:52
Speaker 1: like that. So I have a crazy story. Do you
7:54
Speaker 1: want to hear it about my friends? So he did
7:58
Speaker 1: twenty three and me his dad, his parents are divorced.
8:02
Speaker 1: He did twenty three and me and found out that
8:05
Speaker 1: he had there's like a strong chance that he had
8:07
Speaker 1: a sibling, like a relative. Okay, so he connected. He
8:11
Speaker 1: kind of left it there. He got a call one
8:13
Speaker 1: day from this woman named Joey. She actually lives down
8:15
Speaker 1: here in Osi. He lives in Utah, and said, I
8:19
Speaker 1: found out through my aunt's that you're my half brother,
8:22
Speaker 1: because she had she had had made the connection with him,
8:26
Speaker 1: because I guess you don't know when you connect with
8:29
Speaker 1: a relative, they don't know if it's an aunt and uncle,
8:32
Speaker 1: a brother, a sister, a cousin. So you have to
8:35
Speaker 1: like kind of dive in and do your family research
8:37
Speaker 1: on it. So she talked to her mom about it,
8:40
Speaker 1: and turns out her mom couldn't get pregnant with her dad.
8:44
Speaker 1: Her her who she thinks is her dad. So her
8:47
Speaker 1: mom had slept with this guy for one one time.
8:51
Speaker 1: Happens to be my my friend's dad, who at this
8:56
Speaker 1: time is like, lives up in Montana and is in
8:59
Speaker 1: a biker has nothing to do more and it's just
9:03
Speaker 1: like this crazy story. So they connected their half siblings
9:06
Speaker 1: and she had to sit down with who she thought
9:10
Speaker 1: growing up was her father, but really he's not biologically
9:14
Speaker 1: zero percent chance her father. Oh my god, that's crazy.
9:18
Speaker 1: They did a whole thing. You see that documentary about
9:21
Speaker 1: the He was like a doctor, but he was like
9:23
Speaker 1: a sperm don't donor and he ended up with like
9:26
Speaker 1: hundreds of kids and somebody found out by one of
9:29
Speaker 1: these tests that he was a father and no idea.
9:33
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's crazy, and all these siblings come
9:36
Speaker 1: together and it's insane. Where are you staying in uh
9:49
Speaker 1: st form? We are? We rented this the coolest house,
9:54
Speaker 1: like right on the pier. Oh fun. I'm like, yeah,
9:58
Speaker 1: it's just an airbnb above one of those little restaurants.
10:01
Speaker 1: And how long you in town? I leave Thursday. Yeah,
10:04
Speaker 1: it was nice, Like I got to go sirking with
10:07
Speaker 1: the kids yesterday. I grew up coming to the speech, Okay,
10:12
Speaker 1: I would love to meet you. We're leaving tomorrow from trip.
10:15
Speaker 1: I know like she's probably in coming off of Bravo Con.
10:20
Speaker 1: I'm still drunk from Bravo Con. I think, oh my god,
10:24
Speaker 1: I've never consumed that my alcohol in my life. Did
10:26
Speaker 1: you watch yourself on watch that the Legends ball? No I,
10:31
Speaker 1: I have anxiety, drunk anxiety, like they just sat on
10:34
Speaker 1: watching happens life. I just heard that the three drunk
10:37
Speaker 1: is people were me, Joe Gorga, Brandy and somebody else.
10:41
Speaker 1: I'm like, great, But when you would tore up the
10:45
Speaker 1: friendship note, where do you remember that moment? Because it
10:48
Speaker 1: was one of camera's and my favorite your face that
10:51
Speaker 1: you made directly at the camera, and I just needs
10:54
Speaker 1: to know if you were connizant at that moment or
10:57
Speaker 1: you were blacked out. No I, I one remember tearing
11:02
Speaker 1: up the friendship card. Because here's the thing is, we
11:07
Speaker 1: only see a small portion of what happened that night,
11:11
Speaker 1: right and there was it was really frustrating because one
11:17
Speaker 1: I was just telling time of this one. I probably
11:19
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been on the trip with everything that I
11:21
Speaker 1: was going through. I probably should have just stayed home.
11:23
Speaker 1: But I really wanted to meet up with my brother
11:26
Speaker 1: and sister UM. And two, I definitely should not have
11:30
Speaker 1: been drinking alcohol with the amount of pain and how
11:35
Speaker 1: much I was hurting, right, Like, trauma and alcohol are
11:38
Speaker 1: the perfect disaster waiting to happen. But the friendship card
11:43
Speaker 1: was like because I had forgotten. What I forgot was
11:47
Speaker 1: that Heather said you lost me forever, bitch. That's what
11:51
Speaker 1: I forgot. And that's because there was more said and
11:55
Speaker 1: more done and no one was taking accountability. And I'm
11:59
Speaker 1: always the mess one, but I tell the truth. I
12:01
Speaker 1: may not deliver it at the right time or in
12:04
Speaker 1: the right place. That's like, that's what these trips are. Though,
12:08
Speaker 1: like your day drinking night drinking, it's very tense. I
12:11
Speaker 1: was just getting really sick of Meredith Um not budging
12:16
Speaker 1: on forgiving Lisa, like we're she's still bringing stuff up
12:19
Speaker 1: from years ago, and I was just like, enough is enough.
12:22
Speaker 1: But I do remember ripping up the card. I don't
12:24
Speaker 1: remember everything that Heather said to me, and I wish
12:29
Speaker 1: I did, because it would have I would have just
12:32
Speaker 1: stopped it right there. I would have been like, she
12:34
Speaker 1: doesn't like she's done, I'll be done. Does that make
12:37
Speaker 1: sense I want to have chased her ask for like
12:40
Speaker 1: weeks and weeks and you think, do you think she
12:42
Speaker 1: was as intoxicated as you were at the time? Absolutely?
12:47
Speaker 1: I think that we both don't remember. I didn't remember
12:49
Speaker 1: the full fight. And that's why it's probably gonna look
12:52
Speaker 1: kind of confusing for a minute, because we're both piecing
12:55
Speaker 1: it together. Um, because you know how this works, Like
12:58
Speaker 1: you don't watch the footage when you're doing your confessionals.
13:01
Speaker 1: You go off of your memory, right, So, um, and
13:06
Speaker 1: what the other women tell you, she was just as
13:08
Speaker 1: intoxicated as I was, Like I just unfortunately am sloppier. Well,
13:16
Speaker 1: speaking of bad behavior, we have some questions, Um, who
13:20
Speaker 1: do you think what housewife at Bravo con behave the worst?
13:24
Speaker 1: In what way? Like drunk way or anyway? Who who
13:29
Speaker 1: was the rudest to you or who dismissive or just well,
13:35
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Heather Gay because she lied to everyone
13:39
Speaker 1: on stage in front of me. She was gaslighting me
13:43
Speaker 1: and manipulating the audience. Like I had people coming up
13:47
Speaker 1: to me, like fans telling me what Heather was staying
13:50
Speaker 1: to them and it wasn't polite, and it was like
13:54
Speaker 1: and you have to keep in mind. Heather and I
13:56
Speaker 1: went on girls trip together and I, without spilling what happens,
14:01
Speaker 1: like there was a point of resolution, major resolution, and
14:06
Speaker 1: so I'm sitting here like was that? And so what
14:11
Speaker 1: she said on stage was that I reached for I
14:13
Speaker 1: reached the hardest, and I'm like, okay, you had a
14:17
Speaker 1: fake makeup with me, like the you're the one who
14:20
Speaker 1: reaches for everything. So I don't know. I was most
14:24
Speaker 1: disappointed and let down by Heather Gay Um. Brandy Glanville
14:28
Speaker 1: was so drunk though. He introduced herself to me like
14:34
Speaker 1: three times, and I was like, Brandy already met you,
14:39
Speaker 1: So no one, no one was rude though I had
14:42
Speaker 1: um I thought like Larsa from Miami snubb me. But
14:47
Speaker 1: then she she didn't realize that she's super quiet though. Yeah,
14:52
Speaker 1: and she she apologized that she m did an Instagram
14:56
Speaker 1: story and I said, no, no worries, babe, cheers like
14:59
Speaker 1: I really every and treated me pretty well. I have
15:01
Speaker 1: to say who was Justin's favorite. Justin hung out every
15:07
Speaker 1: night with um, you know Bali from Family Karma, her
15:12
Speaker 1: boy yelly. Oh yeah, we really hit it off with
15:16
Speaker 1: like Family Karma people. It was. It was really cool.
15:20
Speaker 1: We saw we saw Tamra a couple of times too
15:23
Speaker 1: in the oh yeah, in the meet and great areas.
15:27
Speaker 1: I mean, who didn't see tam TAM's the life of
15:29
Speaker 1: every party. I'm not drinking anymore, do you know what
15:35
Speaker 1: I have to say? Like, I love consistent people like
15:40
Speaker 1: you are consistently you and that that is like the
15:44
Speaker 1: biggest compliment I think, even even when you know we
15:50
Speaker 1: don't like how we're behaving, at least we're I can
15:54
Speaker 1: watch you on the show this season the first couple
15:56
Speaker 1: episodes ago. Yep, that's gonna be me this season. And
16:00
Speaker 1: I tell you, I said, I got you back, thank you,
16:03
Speaker 1: totally relate to you. Yes, well, listen, I haven't been
16:07
Speaker 1: on I've been not on social media since Bravo Con
16:12
Speaker 1: just because you know, when I don't know, the audience
16:15
Speaker 1: was attacking me. So I'm like, I don't need to
16:16
Speaker 1: be on Instagram. Yeah, stay really present with my kids,
16:21
Speaker 1: whether on fall break, Yeah, it's the best thing. That's
16:25
Speaker 1: why I'm going to do that on the show. Airs.
16:27
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna yeah, I am I yep. Um. So
16:31
Speaker 1: the next question for both of you guys, they want
16:34
Speaker 1: to know if you guys could switch off your current
16:37
Speaker 1: franchise onto another. What if I was not to say
16:41
Speaker 1: Town City, what would it be New Jersey. Yeah, I
16:46
Speaker 1: was gonna say New Jersey too. Now that everyone, I'm like,
16:50
Speaker 1: I love Jersey. I love Potomac too, Like I just
16:53
Speaker 1: love how real they are, Like they don't let anything by,
16:58
Speaker 1: like everyone says, says it how it is. I like Jersey.
17:02
Speaker 1: They fight dirty, and I have that in me, so
17:05
Speaker 1: I think right in, Oh, I'm still building up to that.
17:09
Speaker 1: I don't like i'd like to, but I mean my
17:12
Speaker 1: mouth goes there easy and then and then they get
17:15
Speaker 1: over it super easy. I'm like that too, Like I
17:16
Speaker 1: will say whatever, and then I'm like, Okay, you're good. Yeah,
17:19
Speaker 1: we're good. I was gonna say. One of the only
17:21
Speaker 1: housewives I never spoke to or never spoke to me
17:25
Speaker 1: either at Bravo Con was Meredith. Did you ever speak
17:28
Speaker 1: to her camera? I did? I did. I was in
17:31
Speaker 1: a meet and greet and She's just like, Hi, how
17:34
Speaker 1: are you nice to meet you? That was it her
17:36
Speaker 1: and her son? That was it? That That sounded like
17:38
Speaker 1: a big bag opperst right there. I mean it was
17:41
Speaker 1: just like a very brief took a picture together that
17:46
Speaker 1: it sounds like Meredith didn't say much. Next question for
17:52
Speaker 1: both of you guys, who do you think the bigger
17:53
Speaker 1: bone collector the two of us? Oh? Weit. What's a
17:59
Speaker 1: bone lector? Like you get stories, you repeat them, You're
18:03
Speaker 1: like picking up all the excess bones. Yeah, like you're
18:06
Speaker 1: you're gonna make sure nothing's left off the table. Oh.
18:10
Speaker 1: I used to be like that hardcore. I'm not like
18:14
Speaker 1: that as much anymore. Yeah, so I probably am right now,
18:17
Speaker 1: but um, because I get frustrated when people say one
18:22
Speaker 1: thing when cameras are rolling and then another when they're
18:25
Speaker 1: not rolling. Ok So that's why everyone's upset with me
18:29
Speaker 1: right now, is because I'm like, oh no, no, no,
18:30
Speaker 1: no no. If you're gonna drive, if you're gonna plant
18:33
Speaker 1: the seed, you're gonna you're gonna participate in watering it. Yeah,
18:36
Speaker 1: you're gonna follow through because I'm I'm done being the
18:41
Speaker 1: bone Okay, favorite memory from Salt Lake City so far?
18:49
Speaker 1: Your favorite? We talk a lot about the negatives, but like,
18:52
Speaker 1: what is the best part? Oh, right now that that
18:55
Speaker 1: is so hard to even um, I would say so far, Like,
19:02
Speaker 1: but that's not a Salt Lake City moment. Um. I
19:04
Speaker 1: loved racing the exotic cars, like when we got to
19:09
Speaker 1: drive the Lamborghinis and Ferraris. That was a pretty cool
19:13
Speaker 1: moment um. Other than that, Salt Lake City has been
19:16
Speaker 1: pretty like heavy. Yeah, listen for you, tam Um. Were
19:21
Speaker 1: you surprised with your return to real house Lives? Orange
19:26
Speaker 1: County Guys? For the record, these are all fam questions.
19:28
Speaker 1: I'm just reading them off the list. Okay. Was I
19:31
Speaker 1: surprised to be asked back? Ye? Um? Well, Annie had
19:34
Speaker 1: told me that, uh, you know, when I got let go,
19:38
Speaker 1: like just stay still, You're gonna be back, trust me.
19:41
Speaker 1: And when year went by and I didn't come back,
19:44
Speaker 1: and then the second year went by, and I'm like,
19:45
Speaker 1: are you freaking kidding me? So I kind of just
19:48
Speaker 1: gave up on it and stopped thinking about it. And
19:50
Speaker 1: when that happened, that's when I got asked back. Had
19:53
Speaker 1: I known that it was like a two year break,
19:54
Speaker 1: I would have taken like enjoyed it, yeah, instead of
19:58
Speaker 1: like like being upset and stressed and like oh fell
20:02
Speaker 1: and left out and all that stuff. It is so
20:05
Speaker 1: interesting how how hard it is, but how much you
20:09
Speaker 1: still want to be a part of it, you know
20:10
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like well, I thought, like after twelve
20:12
Speaker 1: years straight, I'm like, oh, I just don't want to
20:14
Speaker 1: do this anymore. It's hard after a while, Like my
20:18
Speaker 1: kids were little, they've grown up, most of them only
20:21
Speaker 1: have one at home now, and I'm like, I just
20:23
Speaker 1: there's a time where I just want to like not
20:25
Speaker 1: do anything and not be so busy. And now coming back,
20:28
Speaker 1: like the hardest part for me is like I'm so
20:31
Speaker 1: busy now, Like you don't have that time to just
20:34
Speaker 1: sit at home and enjoy your kids as much as
20:37
Speaker 1: you normally do or your husband. It's like, go, go,
20:39
Speaker 1: go all the time. I also think there's personality types
20:44
Speaker 1: that even when you have the time to be more relaxed,
20:49
Speaker 1: you're still like you're always going to be hustling and
20:51
Speaker 1: one capacity or well that's me. That is definitely me.
20:53
Speaker 1: And Edie said, He's like, you're way better person when
20:56
Speaker 1: you're busy all the time, because like my mind gets
20:58
Speaker 1: a little destructive if I'm not super busy. So Teddy
21:02
Speaker 1: I was. I just wanted to check in with you
21:04
Speaker 1: about your melanoma because, uh, my dad actually had stage
21:10
Speaker 1: four melanoma and battled it for a couple of years.
21:13
Speaker 1: Um had to have some major surgeries, like he had
21:17
Speaker 1: to have his was on his head and he had
21:19
Speaker 1: to have it um cut all the way down and
21:23
Speaker 1: ship all the limbs notes out of this side of
21:25
Speaker 1: his body. Um, and he did radiation and interfere on
21:31
Speaker 1: and so I just like I wanted to talk to
21:33
Speaker 1: you about your melanoma, like how are you doing? You know,
21:36
Speaker 1: the next stage after the surgery is the genetic testing
21:41
Speaker 1: the genetic components, you know, which obviously we found out
21:45
Speaker 1: on twenty three and me, but did your dad do
21:47
Speaker 1: any sort of Uh did he meet with a geneticist
21:51
Speaker 1: after he ended up having to get all those removals.
21:56
Speaker 1: I don't think he did. Um. This was back when
21:59
Speaker 1: I was eighteen and I'm thirty six now, so I
22:04
Speaker 1: don't think that he did any genetic testing. No, I'm
22:08
Speaker 1: not sure about that. But I do know that he
22:10
Speaker 1: was in and out of the doctor's offices, like they
22:13
Speaker 1: took they scanned him like once a month for a year,
22:16
Speaker 1: and then they'd move it to like three months, six months.
22:18
Speaker 1: So I know that whatever he was doing there, watching
22:21
Speaker 1: it very closely. Afterwards, Well, for me, it's you know,
22:25
Speaker 1: the surgery and then when I'm in the surgery, they will,
22:30
Speaker 1: um also check all the lymph nodes, and then once
22:33
Speaker 1: we get through that part, then we decide if there's immunotherapy.
22:37
Speaker 1: And then the next big thing is they said, because
22:39
Speaker 1: I am predisposed, which is why something like A twenty
22:42
Speaker 1: three and me is so you know, it will continue
22:46
Speaker 1: to help and change, you know, the for us to
22:50
Speaker 1: know beforehand, before even a skin check that we are
22:53
Speaker 1: you know, at risk. But they think that there's something else,
22:56
Speaker 1: so that's where they'll then check me for the braka
23:00
Speaker 1: too and everything else because they're like the fact that
23:04
Speaker 1: you have so many melanoma shows that this is also
23:09
Speaker 1: probably coming from from somewhere else. Um, But it does
23:12
Speaker 1: say it also not only does it help you with
23:15
Speaker 1: your health, and also, like it says Teddy, your genetic
23:18
Speaker 1: result is associated with a typical likelihood of being diagnosed
23:21
Speaker 1: with anxiety, and like you know how anxious I am,
23:24
Speaker 1: Like I've been diagnosed by doctor with anxiety. So it's
23:27
Speaker 1: just it really it's I can't recommend this enough, mainly
23:32
Speaker 1: even just for the health aspect and then also for
23:37
Speaker 1: peace of mind. I did see that I'm related to
23:38
Speaker 1: my brother. I now it relates to my brother. I'm
23:46
Speaker 1: like Hey, buddy, Yeah, I saw that. That's funny for me. Um,
23:52
Speaker 1: I was so excited after I got my test results
23:55
Speaker 1: back and looking over everything. And I do a lot
23:58
Speaker 1: of the testing to like. Um, They'll send me things
24:02
Speaker 1: to fill out, like questionnaires to fill out, and I
24:05
Speaker 1: always do it. I ended up buying them for family
24:08
Speaker 1: members for Christmas presents. Oh that's smart. Yeah, it's really smart.
24:13
Speaker 1: I feel like everyone in Utah needs it before they
24:15
Speaker 1: start dating. Yeah, that's a good idea. Most of Utah
24:21
Speaker 1: comes from Mormon pioneers, so you want to make sure
24:24
Speaker 1: you're a couple of generations out of the dating pool, right, Yeah,
24:30
Speaker 1: I mean especially with that group, So I think, you know,
24:34
