23andMe, Inc.

I'm from British background, British, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, all that area of the world.

I did my 23andMe, so I know where my genetics are from to make sure.

When I was growing up as a child that we had this family spirit guy called O'Gleggly that would show up and help people out or, you know, sometimes save people's lives, you know, throughout our family bloodline.

However, he later reflected that he carried deep guilt for decades, but knew it was the right choice at the time, stating that his son was given, quote, "...a life certainly that I wouldn't have been able to afford him at that time in my life." While McDonald also claimed that he and Diane stayed in touch, often wondering how their son turned out.

Fast forward 59 years in early 2025, when Michael McDonald's other son Dylan took a 23andMe DNA test.

with the name Michael Gessling being instantly flagged as his half-brother, leading to the McDonald family going on a mission to track him down and getting biological mother Diane involved, as she would be the first to reach out via a letter.

First, Michael Gessling, age 58, would meet his biological mother in May 2025 before meeting up with his famous father and extended family in September 2025, the night before McDonald was set to grace the stage with the Doobie Brothers in St. Louis, the same town in which Gessling was raised by his adoptive parents before deciding to keep the story quiet until this month.

Oh, my God.

I told you I'd come up with a good one.

Even though 23andMe had a privacy policy and everything, once a company buys their assets and asset strip mines them, all bets are off.

And it's interesting that when you have all bets are off, it's because something buys something, something does something, or somebody changes the rules.

And I wanted to talk about changing the rules.

for generic overall health.

Going added sugar-free, doing a modified form of the autoimmune protocol diet, using 23andMe and Promethease to see if I had any genetic risk factors or whatever, vitamin D, vitamin D with K2, low-dose naltrexone, getting another viral illness, in order to reset my immune system somehow, avoiding caffeine, avoiding alcohol, travel, jogging, walking, exercise bike, weight training with dumbbells.

living in different places, including in a different country for four months.

Manuka honey lozenges, salmon oil.

just

do 23andMe.

No,

I know, but that was my question.

This house is killing you.

She takes him to the family crypt and shows him her dead family like a weird 23andMe for crazy people.

There's already a coffin ready for both her and her brother.

It waits for me, she helpfully says.
