Anthony Anderson
Maybe that's part of it. It's like, I know to get a rap. I mean, we just don't know. Don't they say that the other senses get so strong?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
And also what's been presented in media and stuff like that.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
We love alliteration. Your favorite. I do. Anthony Anderson.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Maybe they're going through the book and saying, I could do this.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Your mom at the award show, that bit was so great. Yes, it was so fantastic.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
And then is there a regulation? Like it has to be Hanes. Because what if you get the thinnest material?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
You'll let us know if he calls you back. I'm going to call him again. See if he's going to pick up again. He's really going to be worried.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
You know, we're going to do a fact check for this episode next week or in a couple of weeks. So by then, he'll probably have called you back and you can relay what happened.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
My favorite, my favorite set term is martini shot.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yeah. So if you're like checking it, if you have friends who are on set and you're like, how much longer do you have?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
We're on the martini. It's like what you want to hear.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
We have a lot to get through, but we can't do it all today. Okay. You just have to take, you just have to have peace.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
We both had trips. I had, I have a big, people think I went to New York.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yeah, because we had a whole conversation about Buddhism. And I said, oh, no, what am I going to do? I'm about to go to New York. That's not a place for me to be very Buddhist. And you said you should be Buddhist when you get back. And I first delayed my trip a day. Yeah. And I was like, I'll just need to get my work done and then I'll feel good. I'll feel ready to go.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
I had a little girl's trip with Callie, couple day trip that was, that yes, we will talk about over the next 10 weeks.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
That was so, so delightful and fun. And that was already on the books. I was going to do both. And it just felt, it didn't feel, I just knew. I was like, it's not right. I'm not supposed to go run around the city for the next four days. And I just need to like be for a little bit.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
I, that's really- It's as bad as it gets. That's as bad of a person. If you have that thought, I'm not judging. Right. Because the Buddhists don't do that.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
But you need to get some help. You need to get yourself into therapy quick.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
But not like, oh, I knew it. And the dark- I might, okay.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
I wonder- I wonder if there would be a part of me that's like, oh my God, I have powers.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Remember, there's a famous actress that I thought of at random.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
It was Michelle Trachtenberg. Very sad. Very, very sad. And it, yeah, it seems like it was a diabetes complication, which I hate to do this. This seems really flippant, but that's a ding, ding, ding.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
I know, because this is for Anthony Anderson. Oh, and he's diabetic. And we talk a lot about it and how complications are really serious.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Speaking of something else bad, I'm sure you heard about Eric Dane.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yeah. I figured he might have known from meetings, but like... No, it really breaks my heart.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Oh, oh, oh, no. Well, kind of. We had David Sedaris on and we were talking about the Pope. Although he was already quite ill at that time.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Sorry, but this is life. Life is happy and sad all at once.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
What were you expecting? Okay. Cause this is an expectations lesson as well.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Two-time, can you put two-time world record holder?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Well, exactly. And turns out, shopping country a little bit.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
They had some really cute shopping. We were just there for two nights. It was a quick trip, but we did so much. And we stayed at the Aubergine du Soleil. I don't know if that's how you spell it.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Oh, yeah. Yeah. And I love an Aubert Hotel. That's a line of hotels. I've talked about the one in Austin before, Commodore Perry.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yeah. Yeah, and it's beautiful. And this one was – it was so stunning and exquisite and –
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Well, they, not us. They have that. They have a lot, a fleet of Mercedes, different Mercedes that they loan out to the guests. You just have to like, you know, sign a waiver and you can take it out.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
I know, which... Is a little like, wow. I was like, this is so nice. Cause it's, cause things are a bit, things aren't like five minutes away from each other. You'd have to drive a little bit. Yeah. And, and it's a pain like to Uber everywhere or to have a driver. So, and we only did one winery. So we weren't like bopping around from winery to winery. But anyway, it was such a nice amenity.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
But it was, we were like excited to try the G-Wagon. Callie drove it. Yeah. She did a great job. And turns out there were a couple, well, I ran into many armchairs on the trip. And again, everyone was so incredible. One, one I had a kind of regretful encounter with, not regretful, but we, Callie and I, We're in the little like shopping area, St. Helena.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
And we went into this little coffee shop just to get a coffee. And we were waiting for the coffee. The place was pretty crowded, but like we didn't think that much of it. We were waiting for the coffee and there was an arm cherry sitting there. And she said, hey, Monica, you know, I love the show, whatever. And I was like, oh, are you from here? And they weren't. They were, I forgot.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Oh, God, I'm sorry. I forget. I want to say Chicago.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Because of Rob. Yeah. And she was like, no, we're just on the ship. Had to get the English muffin. And I was like, yeah. And she kind of pointed to her food a little bit, but I didn't really know what she was talking about. Yeah.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Well, yeah, but it didn't, I wasn't getting that vibe. I was just like, oh, oh, okay. Yeah. And then I did feel embarrassed because I should know. Yeah. I should know about English muffins and fancy foods and stuff. So anyway, I ran out of there as fast as I could.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
The next day when we were about to—when we were leaving, the morning we took out the G-Wagon, we went to Yonville, which is the food area where French Laundry is and all these other—Bouchon, all these things. The person working at the front desk, Phoebe—
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
And I will circle back to Phoebe. Okay. She told Callie that there was a place in Yachtville known for their English muffins and that we should go. And it was called like mini, according to Callie, mini Modell, but I don't know if that's right. She got it right.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
So we go there and then we're in line and Callie was like, oh, I think that coffee shop we went to was just Modell. Like this is a version of that, like another little small version. And I was like, this makes total sense what the arm cherry was saying.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
So anyway, this arm cherry was in the know. Apparently it's like Oprah's favorite English muffin.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Oh, my God. It was so good. Poor Callie. She's gluten-free. She has celiac. So she couldn't have it.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
She said... When she was looking at it, she was like, if I was going to cheat, she's like, which I never would. Because it's not like... Mine. Yeah.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
She's like, that might be... That would be the one, even though she's not going to do it. Anyway, she got some for Max. Max loved them.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
This is relevant because when we first got to the hotel, there was... two like freshly batched cocktails with my name and Callie's name.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Or is it a wink? Is it a sim or is it a wink? I don't know, but I don't want to like.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Exactly. I was like, I think it's, I don't think so.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
And I had two little cocktail glasses with two like cherries. It was so, so cute. And also the cocktail was incredible.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yeah, okay. So, yeah, when Bert was on this show, we had a whole cocktail conversation. We told each other what to have. I told him to get at B's knees. He told me to get a shot of Fernette. And then also separately a Campari spritz. Okay. Then Jess, Ana, and I went to Little Dom's and I did get the Fernet.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
He responded. He says, I have to get you drunk on my cooking show. Lots of exclamation points. And then he responded, that sounded creepy.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
He said, that sounded creepy. We have to get drunk on my cooking show.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yeah, I like that he's aware of not being creepy. I think that's a great thing.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Anywho, so I need to send Bert that cocktail. He'll love it. Yes. But anyway, so I was like, well, maybe it was a wink, but probably not. Probably just something sweet they do. And still, that could be the case. But then there was this cute little card they wrote. And I didn't really understand it at first.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Because there were two hats for Callie and I that they had given us. And then there was a little note that said something along the lines of, here's some hats so you can be in quotes, a new Monica. And then I forgot that we had just talked about hats on the fact check.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
I felt like a new Monica when I wore them. So, so we did have some arm cherry fans who worked at the auberge and it was really, really sweet. And I do believe one of them was Phoebe.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
And she was just so lovely. So I wanted to shout out Phoebe. Oh, and then, oh yes, because Callie went to the front. I slept in on the last day.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
And Callie, Callie went to the front and she was doing all these arrangements for the car and the this. And she said, so who did that cocktail? And then she said, Phoebe got really red. And then Callie was like, oh, no, she got worried that she felt that I was embarrassed or something.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
It has nothing to do with the fact that she sleeps 12 hours a night.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yeah. So she, so, um, and Kelly said, I'm just, it was just so sweet and we are so appreciative. Yeah.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
And then, and Phoebe said, well, we have, we have, there were a few fans who work here. Oh. And then, and Callie said, it was just so nice for me because I, you know, I've been around the whole ride and it's just really sweet for me to see that.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
And she said, well, she talks about you a lot too. Oh. She's like, oh, boy. Okay.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
It's so sad. That's like the woman I saw outside Covell, remember, like being so horrible to her daughter. And yeah, I don't know what you're supposed to do.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Well, what were you going to do if you got out? Steal him? Put him in your car? Drive away? Keep him? Give him to me?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
But I think that will have a negative impact later on. If we didn't have any social worker listeners, maybe they can tell us what you're supposed to do. I mean, I really don't know what you're supposed to do.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
But I know for a lot of reasons, it's not just like, oh, because they're annoying. It's because there's stress that comes with raising people. Yes. If you care at all.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
If you tell them. It doesn't mean they're just going to listen and be that way. Like, it's hard. And people are their worst selves around their family. I mean, I was just, I was like thinking about all our vacations when you were talking about yours. And I was like, yeah, we just like- Yelled at each other. I was just so mean. Like I was just such a brat.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
And, you know, I just remember I was going to New York and I wanted to go to Serendipity so bad. The movie? No, the chocolate shop. Oh, okay.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
It was the only thing I wanted to do. And I brought it up every, it was like, it was like, we'll go, we'll go. I promise we'll go. I promise we'll go. And then we go and it's a three hour line. I was like, well, you, you said this and they were like, we're not doing this. And I was like, oh my. And I, I like could not handle the fact that we were not going to go to Serendipity.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
The parent, but not because you paid. That's where the guy who threw the phone, like, that guy's that. You know, he's like, I paid for all this, and so everyone better just do what I say.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
That's what's comfortable for him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yes. I would hope so, too. Now, this is where I do think you got – you both, you and Kristen, are very kind to the kids. Like, the fact that that's even a thought – and, I mean, I don't have them, but I do know – I do know that if, like – Even if I was with your kids, if Lincoln was like, I saw a sign, I would say, I would say, oh, you might be right, but we're going to do this.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
She is like there are parts of you as an adult. That's like maybe, you know, I don't know if we could. We could work on.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
But so you never, you're right. Maybe it just wouldn't work.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
But were you right? Would it have been a big, massive leap of... No, you know what?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
I know. But what was happening with your dad is different than what's happening with you at the airport taking them to the Four Seasons Maui. Like for real. So if, I'm just saying, if like, She did do that. If she was like, I'm not talking to my dad for a month because he wanted to go one way in the airport taking us on a trip.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
You didn't respect him because of what, because of his actions.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
So then why would you listen to him if he's saying this thing?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
I think you potentially, we don't know, there's no way to go back in time, but you potentially wouldn't have, it wouldn't be such a struggle for you now if you had been practicing since you were 12, if you had been put in the position to really start practicing that skill for that long. You've been like she's better off early starting to understand, you know what?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yeah. But in life... Both kids, every person are going to encounter people who trigger that thing. And it's good to have practice. Of course.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Because you were so confident. I think that's part of it. It's like, there's such a double down that if you're wrong, you can't just be like, oops, because you made a whole to do about- Well, that's one of them.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Sure. But you can see now, you just said it. You just said it like 15 minutes ago that- It's objectively true. You having so many more years and knowledge and experience in life does earn you that.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yeah. It's hard to, I think it's hard to be a parent.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yeah. Let's see if we can find the thing that Adam Grant said.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yeah, really good. Okay, Anthony. So he achieved a Guinness World Record by successfully hitting a golf ball 106 feet with the world's longest usable golf club.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yeah, it's pretty wild how long it is. And it's like curved.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
I don't either. God willing. Okay, the record for the father-son pulling fire trucks, that was in Coburg. So two Coburg strong men won't be celebrating Father's Day with a fishing trip or a ball game this weekend. Instead, Reverend Kevin Fast and his son Jacob Fast will attempt to pull two fire trucks. The goal is to set a new Guinness World Record for heaviest vehicle pulled by two people.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
The Saturday, June 18th event is a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
A cause Reverend Fast became involved in last summer when he pulled a house 11.95 meters.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yes. He's also well-known for setting a Guinness World Record in 2009 for pulling a 416,229-pound aircraft in 2009 at CFB Trenton. Oh, my goodness. Yes. Okay, does Lionel Richie have a room in his house that's a replica of the room he originally wrote his music in? Now, I don't know about that, but there is an article on Architectural Digest about his house.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
These disparate ideas he trickles back via photograph sent by email to the masters who pull my ideas together, a team comprising interior designers Peter Schifando and J. Jonathan Joseph and until his recent death, architect Robert Attrey.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
A case in point of Ritchie's inspired wanderlust is a subtle palomino hue of the building's exterior, first spotted on a cardinal's house he saw on a hilltop in Lake Como. And then there's the high gloss pale yellow Venetian plaster on the walls of the capacious living room inspired by Ritchie's visit to Poland's presidential palace.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
The mirrored effect of the walls was so beautiful, I had to ask, how do you do this? With several layers of paint buffed and polished like a stone, he learned. It's not easy to come by, but once it's done, the room can have a single chair and it works. He pauses. The things that inspire me, he laughs, were done years ago with cheap labor and materials.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Trying to recreate them has cost me a bloody fortune.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Still in this movable feast of the imagination, it's the personal touches that mesmerize. A bronze sculpture depicting Richie's hand intertwined with that of his father. Frame letters from Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver to Richie's grandmother. A faculty member at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama where the singer grew up.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Two paintings in the billiard room by jazz trumpeter and pal Miles Davis. The kinetic abstracts, brilliant, complicated, twisted, and turned in every way just like Miles are signed on the back to the best from the best. With its high ceilings, dramatic staircases.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Jordan could. Yeah. Ding, ding, ding. Anthony Anderson story about Jordan. Richie's manor house could be anywhere in the world, which is why he planned it. I call the rooms in my house destinations. If I want to be in a suite in Paris, I go upstairs to the bedroom and close the door. Italy, I walk outside to the stone path bordering the property and look back to see the Cardinal's house.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
With my career, I have to get on a plane every other week. So when people ask, where do you go for vacation? I say, I go home.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
But also, the way he talked about it, we don't know the answer, but... Sounds likely. It sounds likely. Okay. When did the police get back together for their last tour after not being together? They reunited in early 2007 for a world tour, which lasted through 2008.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
canceled the tour or something like that he's like it was directly back to how the band always was um okay he mentioned elephantitis he said when all the lower extremities are like one size now it's it's called elephantiasis elephantiasis
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
It's a condition characterized by significant swelling, primarily in the legs, arms, or genitals, caused by a parasitic infection of the lymphatic system. The swelling is due to the buildup of lymphatic fluid, often leading to a disfigured appearance, hence the name. Okay, he was talking about... D.C. So he said that was the murder capital of the world then.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Now, several countries and cities consistently rank high in homicide rates. It says it's difficult to pinpoint definitively which one, but OK. So in 2023, Jamaica had the highest homicide rate.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
At 49.3 per 100,000 people. While Ecuador saw a significant increase in its rate to 45.1 per 100,000, within Mexico, cities like Colima and Zamora have been reported to have extremely high homicide rates. Now, as far as the U.S., St. Louis. Okay. Does Anthony have the record for most appearances on Kimmel? Yes, he does.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Yes. Total of 63 appearances. They include guest appearance.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
Me too. Yeah. It's been a long time. We have so many stories.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Anthony Anderson
He's going to think there's a huge emergency. Call me. Please.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Right. I mean, if I have it facing the window, it's usually just like a bright white nothing. All right, so I've been selected to start the story. So it's 1984. I'm 28, and let's say I'm between things. I've recently returned from a year of teaching English in the Canary Islands. Instead of staying in paradise for some dumb reason, I come back to the U.S.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
and then don't know what to do with myself. So I move into my mom's basement and start driving a taxi. I also start dating a German woman, Kirsten, and it gets kind of serious. But then she goes back to Germany for work. We decide, however, to keep dating and have a long-distance relationship.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Then one day in the local newspaper, I see an employment ad seeking sperm donors to help infertile couples. Okay. It turns out that infertile couples means lesbian couples about 95% of the time, but I only learned that much, much later. Since Kirsten and I are being monogamous, this jerk-off job, as it were, seems both like easy money and a good outlet for my sperm.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
I get hired, and I wind up donating. They pay me, so I don't know why they refer to it that way, but I wind up donating about twice a week for a year. Wow.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Despite that career profile, I went to Johns Hopkins, so maybe that helped. That definitely helps. Okay, so at the end of this year of donating sperm, I moved to Germany to be with Kirsten. That relationship doesn't last too long, but in any case, I go on with my life, and I don't give the sperm donation much thought.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

I'd signed a mutual confidentiality agreement with a sperm bank, and DNA testing doesn't exist yet. So I just assumed I'd never learn anything about any children born. I don't ever get involved in a serious relationship and have children the standard way. So fast forward 30 years to 2016, and I begin to see ads for 23andMe.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
I immediately understand that if I get a DNA test, I might be able to find my progeny and I'm intrigued. But I procrastinate signing up for about a year. But finally, I order the test, spit in the test tube and mail it off, having no idea what the odds of finding any of the children are. A few weeks later, I get the results back.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
I did do like a kind of back of the napkin calculation based on odds of conception. It seemed like 60 to 70 children might be possible. Yeah, this is wild already. Okay. So I get the results back and find exactly one child, a son named Bryce, age 20. who lives in New York. I was in Pennsylvania at the time. I see this result and I'm like, yikes, what do I do now?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
I spend about a week thinking about what to write to him. And he's also on 23andMe. So I wonder if he's noticed me or been notified about my existence. And I wonder if I'm failing some sort of unwritten test. DNA test results getting etiquette. I write to Bryce and let him know that I'm interested in connecting. I tell him a little bit about myself. He writes back to me in about five minutes flat.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
And he writes back with an email that starts, dad, exclamation point. Which is really alarming because I'm wondering what expectations does this guy have of me? But it turns out he's just joking around and having fun. Oh, okay.

Very smart and funny. We make a positive connection. And pretty soon he connects me with another of my kids, Maddie, who's also about 20, a daughter, who he found through a different service. In fact... He's found in total five other children. So I immediately go from one to six, except for Bryce and Maddie. All the other ones are younger. They don't really come into this story.

Bryce and Maddie and I wind up corresponding with each other. We have like a Facebook chat going. We get to know each other a bit. We exchange life stories and pictures. Our resemblance to each other is pretty striking. There was no doubt that the results were accurate. But they're young college students in their 20s. They have other things going on in their lives.

So after not too long, things go dormant, and we occasionally like each other's Facebook posts. A few months pass, and then in early 2017, I get a kind of confusing message through 23andMe from a daughter named Alice, aged 11. But really, it's her mother, Jessica, that's writing. And this seems like a good place to bring Jess in to tell her side of the backstory. Okay.

That seems impossible. When he learned this, I was like, oh, they just made a mix up at the Bureau of Boyfriends.

We're both playing parents and yet we are actually the biological parents of one of the kids.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Only sort of. Alice should probably be here to speak for herself, but she has never considered me to be her father. Her other moms, her other parents, even if that parent hasn't been so great to her recently.

Wow. I've only met four. Does it stress you out at all? No. Whenever I discover one, I write them an email and tell them a little bit about myself and say I'm open to connection. Though, strangely, other than Bryce and Maddie and one other, Emily, who happens to live near us, I guess we had a Zoom meeting with one family of three, but... Most of them just haven't been that interested.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: DNA Testing
Absolutely. Yeah. After my piece was published in the New York Times, and Jess also had a piece published by the BBC, we did get some movie interest.

Oh, that's a clever title. That's not the title, though. It is the modern love column, and the title is First I Met My Children, Then My Girlfriend, They're Related.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
After writing off romance, Tora found a man who defied all expectations. Aaron was strikingly handsome, determined, respectful, and he was an incredible father. Tora moved into his house and their relationship deepened. That's when Aaron opened up about his traumatic childhood. He said that both of his parents were abusive.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
When he was 18, he ran away from home and joined the military. At the time, the war in Iraq was just beginning. He worked his way up to become a special forces medic. But his military career ended in tragedy.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Aaron spent weeks in the hospital recovering from his injury. And even in this time of crisis, his family turmoil continued.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
This is one of the reasons he needed Tora's help, because he didn't have anyone. His family and his ex-wife, they weren't safe people. Tora realized he'd spent his entire life moving from one traumatic situation to another.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Even though it had been years since Aaron was injured in the war, it was part of his everyday life.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
And that wasn't his only injury from the war. He'd also injured his back, his shoulder, and his arm. They were constantly getting re-injured, causing Aaron to go to the doctor in pain. But despite all this, he still fought for full custody. Especially because of his childhood, Aaron was determined to show up for his son.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
The boy was only a few months old when Tora met him, and she was there for all of his big firsts.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
The boy took his first steps to Torah. The three of them fell into a kind of domestic bliss based on a foundation of love for each other and love for Aaron's son. After a year together, Tora felt like this was her family now. She didn't want to go through the formalities of a wedding and marriage. So instead, they lived as common-law spouses. They just started calling each other husband and wife.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
With Aaron in school, Tora took on more financial responsibility.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Erin had to make a monthly home equity payment to his ex-wife, and the expenses just kept coming.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Despite the stress of living paycheck to paycheck, Tora was filled with love for her family. Everything was precariously perfectly balanced. That was until Aaron got sick. One day, he woke up in excruciating pain with a very high fever. Tura had to go to work, so Aaron went to see their family doctor by himself. And when he got there, his fever was so high, he needed to go to the ER right away.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
I'm Andrea Gunning, and this is Betrayal, a show about the people we trust the most and the deceptions that change everything. About a year ago, we heard from a listener with a story that floored us. Tora Giles is a history professor in Colorado, but she grew up on the California coast with her seven siblings.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
He called Tora from the hospital and she rushed over. But when she got there, he wasn't in a hospital room. Aaron was just sitting by the hospital entrance in a wheelchair.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
In addition to the fever, Aaron was in excruciating pain, debilitating chronic pain from his old combat injuries. But this time, his doctors weren't able to figure out what was going on. So Tora stepped in to take care of him.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
He spent weeks on the couch, unable to function. To keep his spirits up, he showed Tora his favorite YouTube videos.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Stolen valor is the term for people who impersonate military service members and veterans.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
It was a welcome distraction from his pain, especially considering the price he was paying for his military service. She understood why he liked the Stolen Valor video so much.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
As a kid, the church was Tora's life. She went to a Christian school. Her friends and after-school activities were all through the church. And she assumed that her life would follow the same path that was modeled by the women around her. Graduate high school, get married, and start having kids.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Tora's new life with Aaron was thrown off balance when his chronic pain took a sharp turn for the worse. Aaron eventually started pain management therapy and Tora felt helpless.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
He said he knew what he was doing. He was in nursing school and had years of training as an Army medic.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
In the morning, Aaron was unresponsive.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
He was asleep and he's not waking up. The 911 operator instructed her to begin chest compressions until the paramedics arrived.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
The paramedics arrived and confirmed what she already knew. There was no bringing Aaron back. She called friends to come over and together they waited for the coroner. Not knowing what else to do, she fixated on the boy. He was three. Tora tried to distract him, play with him, but he wanted to know what was going on.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Before the coroner came, Tora and their friends took turns saying goodbye.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
But his death would reveal an avalanche of discoveries. It began on that very day when his ex-wife showed up at the front door. The police had notified her of Aaron's death and his ex-wife called his family, his estranged family.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Given the circumstances, this comment seemed absurd and irrelevant. But his ex-wife insisted that there were truths about Aaron that Tora needed to know. Before she could share more, Aaron's biological family arrived. They were surprised to meet Tora. They didn't know she existed.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
After high school, Tora became a full-time nanny. And she tried to give dating a shot.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Tora had seen pictures of Aaron's mother, father, and brother, but these people in her house, they weren't the same ones she'd seen photos of. Nothing made sense, from Aaron's sudden death to the arrival of this family she didn't recognize. But they were his family, and now they wanted the house back, right away.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Tora packed her car with a few boxes and prepared to leave. She'd also be leaving the boys she'd raised from infancy to nearly age four. But she knew she wasn't part of his biological family. It was clear that with Aaron gone, Tora just didn't have a place in the boys' life.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Before walking out of the house for the last time, she decided to take Erin's laptop with her. Her brother came to meet her, and together, they drove back to their parents' house in California. I fell apart.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
At first, she fixated on his death, how and why it happened. She got a copy of his autopsy report.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
And there was something else on his autopsy that stood out.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
The questions that came up right after his death about his family, his race, she just didn't have the capacity to think about all of that at the time.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Tora started to realize that the traditional path wasn't for her. So instead of trying to find a husband, she started planning for a new career.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Aaron was talking to these women up until the week he died, making plans with them and inviting them over.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
After undergrad, she moved to Colorado to pursue a PhD in history.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
In the two months since Aaron died, these women had been trying to get in touch with him. So Tora messaged them back to let them know he was gone.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Tora kept digging through his laptop. And that's when she saw the photo that changed everything.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
The entire time they were together, Erin kept a sock and a brace on his prosthetic foot. She had never actually seen his amputation site.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
She saw the monthly checks coming in from the military. She heard the hard prosthetic foot hitting the ground when he walked. Plus, he was self-conscious about his injury. She never pressed him further. Why would I question that? Who would that make me?
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
But after she saw the photo of Aaron's two feet in the sand on his honeymoon, Tora called their family doctor, the doctor who'd done physical exams on her and Aaron in the past year.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
She loved teaching, especially American history.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
This shocking revelation caused her to question the whole story she'd been told about his military career.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
On his discharge papers, it said he did join the military at 18, and he did go to combat once, not four times like he'd said. He wasn't a special forces medic like he'd claimed. She doesn't know why he left the army, but it wasn't because of an injury. Her entire understanding of Aaron changed.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Who was Aaron? And what was his real-life story?
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
She started reaching out to people who were connected to Erin.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
She found out that the family who showed up at Aaron's house, those people she didn't recognize, they were his biological family. And they were very different from what Aaron described.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
When she started looking back on it, she realized that Aaron had slowly isolated her from anyone who'd known him for more than four years. Anyone who would contradict the narrative he was telling her.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
By this time, Toro was in her mid-30s. She'd tried dating for years, but ultimately decided she didn't need romance. Her life was complete without it.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
The amputation, the chronic pain from combat wounds, even his Native American ancestry. It was all a lie. The one thing that was real is that he was sick. He had an opioid addiction. She sees that clearly now. And she sees that as a part of a larger pattern of behavior.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
You can probably tell that Tora's been through years of therapy to understand and heal from what happened to her.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
It's been four years since Erin died, and she discovered that the man she was building a life with was a fraud.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Instead, she's tried to find understanding for the real person Erin was. With him gone, she's been able to access a kind of empathy, not to excuse his behavior, but to make peace with it.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Tora moved back to Colorado where she still teaches history, but she says that this time around, she's a different person. She's forever changed by the love she had with Aaron and the pain he put her through. We end every episode with the same question. Why did you want to tell your story?
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
In that class, she met a student named Aaron. Like her, he was also in his mid-30s.

Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Erin was a veteran, a former Army medic who'd lost his foot in an explosion in Iraq.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
The disability was a big part of his life, but it didn't define him. And it certainly didn't hold him back. He was finishing his bachelor's degree on his way to start nursing school. After each class, he would stay behind and chat with Tora.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Erin shared that he was Native American, Choctaw, which was a big part of his identity. And she noticed that he was always immaculately put together.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Erin and Tora kept talking every week after class for the rest of the semester.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
After the class ended in May, Tora got a Facebook friend request. It was from Aaron. He was already Facebook friends with other teachers, so she accepted the request.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
They chatted for a few minutes before Aaron revealed why he had reached out.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Tora read between the lines. Aaron was desperate. He was about to start an intensive two-year nursing program, and now he would likely have full custody of his infant son. She felt for his situation. And the next day, while Aaron was on campus, he swung by Tora's office with his baby in tow. He wanted to thank Tora for the semester and for offering to help.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
In addition to that, she didn't want Aaron to mistake her kindness for something else.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
When she got to his house, her anxiety dissipated.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
Soon she was going over to Aaron's every few days to help out with his son. It felt like the right thing to do.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
After Aaron would put his son to bed, the two of them would stay up and have a drink on the back patio and just talk about life. It became their little ritual.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
We just never ran out of things to say. After about two months of this, Tora went back home to visit her family in California.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
She had never talked about a friend like this before. When she got home from that trip, she went straight to Aaron's house.
Betrayal: Season 4
Betrayal Weekly: RE-RELEASE: EP 10 - Torrah
One night while they were up late talking on the patio, Aaron finally said what they had both been thinking.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Pre-Block

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

It's awkward to talk about on the radio.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Pre-Block
Closer to what she said. I don't like that term. I don't see it like that. I would just be paying for companionship, not the weird stuff.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
And we would have, you know, it was kind of cute. On the day we'd have little competitions to see who could kind of like, you know, race the other, who could climb faster. And at the top, I had a bottle of Prosecco to share for both of us.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
That does sound really fun. You know, I just really enjoyed it. And we had the drinks. We headed back to our cars. But then after that, I haven't heard from her. And so I've been thinking about her. And I've texted her a couple times. Nothing too, you know, repetitive or what have you. But, yeah, I haven't heard from her. So I'm wondering what's up.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
Not really part of me. I'm a little bit nervous that, you know, there was one point when I was hiking and, you know, trying to race up in front of her that it was a little bit difficult. I had to stretch a little bit and I farted a little bit. And I was in front of her. It wasn't a big fart. It wasn't loud. I don't think it was that bad. But yeah, I don't know if I could exactly smell it.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
I don't know if she could, but maybe.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
No. And that's like, one of the things is that we, you know, we hit it off very well. I thought it was really rare to find a woman that's, you know, just very authentic. Um, she wasn't arrogant. She wasn't full of herself at all. She's a great listener. Um, and she just great storytellers. It was, uh, amazing to listen to her tell all these, all these tales of different adventures he's had.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
And so, um, No, I don't think she would be the type to be that standoffish about it. If that was the case, I really don't know.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
I was just trying to be coy and just not say anything about it. That was probably a good move.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
We were outdoors, so I'm hoping it was just the one toot. I don't exactly recall because I was so flustered by that first one. I don't know.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
Yeah, went up on a hike, a little bit of climbing, had Prosecco at the top of the hike and I'm worried that Maybe she's ghosting me because I might have tooted a little for being nice about it.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
I think it was just one time, but I'm trying to be, you know, fair and don't want to be overly conservative. That's not the case.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
I don't think so, but now you guys got me second guessing.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
I'm no, no. Okay. So I do have a good explanation for all the women. Honestly, they are all friends. And I mean that sincerely. Most of the women that I go on these hikes with, it just reminded me of them. And that's why I brought it up is because, you know, kind of situational memory kind of thing. Most of the women are all in relationships already.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
So, and that's the thing, that's why I was mentioning those names is because they don't mean anything.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show
Why is Lyla ghosting Aaron?
I'm not, I'm not. I, and I'd get kind of like, I do look out for those types myself because I try not to be that. I look, I was raised by a single mom. I have two sisters. I got an older sister, younger sister. So I really don't, I strive not to be that guy, and I don't want to be that guy ever.
First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show

Hi, Jen. Hi, Pumps. My name is Aaron and I live in West Texas, which is one of the reddest areas in Texas. What I have had it with is people saying, I will pray for you or I'm praying for you or I'll keep you in my prayers. Are you, motherfucker? I want a motherfucking receipt of saying that you're going to be praying for me.
I've Had It

I want you to sit down on your knees or whatever the fuck you do with your hands up, and I want a video of you praying for me. I think we should start asking for prayer receipts. That's what the fuck I want.

Hey, y'all. So I've absolutely had it with Instagram couples, and I know we've beat this horse to death. However, this is going to be calling out couples who have their own Instagram accounts and feel the need to repost each other's real stories or whatever the fuck it is.
I've Had It
It's a Cult!
You'll have one person post a nice picture or video of their cute kids, probably with the heart eye emoji, or of their vacation. And within five seconds, the other person reposted to their own page. I'm sorry, but I don't need to see your Cancun vacation pictures twice because I followed both of your accounts.

As a devoted cult member, however, I would be remiss if I didn't call out both Jen and Pumps for doing the same thing. But I will make an exception for America's biggest patriots. Good call.

Well, it's not 100% clear, but what we know is that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other leaders in his government have been threatening a massive military offensive against Hamas in Gaza for weeks now.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
When Netanyahu gets up and describes his plans for Gaza to the Israeli public, he talks about full security control of the Gaza Strip after a massive ground maneuver of Israeli forces throughout the enclave. Netanyahu has said that this would be a decisive blow to Hamas and that this could finally end
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
more than a year and a half in which Hamas has really fought a dogged war of attrition in the face of a devastating Israeli military campaign. This time, Netanyahu says, the Israeli military would seize control of large chunks of the Gaza Strip. They would basically capture them and stay there instead of going in and withdrawing as they often did during the war.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
As part of this offensive, at least according to the declared plan, many Palestinian civilians would be displaced to southern Gaza. And at the end of the operation, Netanyahu has promised the public, Israel would effectively have complete security control of the Gaza Strip.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
Exactly. But even though the Israeli military has already formally announced the start of the operation, you know, Israeli forces on the ground have not actually moved that much farther. We haven't seen them sweep through major Palestinian cities like Khan Yunis and Gaza City the way that they did during the first year of the war.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
If Israel really wants to do this, and let's assume for a moment that this is what they want to do, despite the potential cost for Israelis and Palestinians alike, there are still a number of factors that I think are giving them pause. One of them is definitely the hostages. So around 20 of the hostages in Gaza are still believed to be alive.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
There are the bodies of more than 30 others that are presumed dead. But there is absolutely a fear in Israel that a massive military campaign in Gaza could significantly endanger or kill the remaining hostages that are still alive. Another factor is Netanyahu himself.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
Netanyahu is described by his biographers and people who know him well as somebody who's fundamentally very cautious and sort of a political chameleon. Throughout the war, he's really refrained from making any big strategic decision about the future of Gaza, about what would be in the enclave in the so-called day after the war ends.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
This contrasts rather sharply with some of his coalition partners, who are much more committed to permanent Israeli rule in Gaza and to building Jewish settlements in Gaza. Netanyahu is much harder to pin down. And so far, he appears to have successfully avoided having to make that big decision about what the future of Gaza should be.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
Exactly. And I think a third factor that could be a potential check on Israel launching this massive offensive is the state of the military. Israel's military has been fighting for more than a year and a half nonstop. And the country's own security establishment is anxious about the feasibility of a protracted campaign in the Gaza Strip.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
There's a number of concerns that they have. Israel is already engaged in I mean, really, the longest, most intense war of its history in Gaza, far outstripping the Yom Kippur War in 1973 or the Six-Day War in 1967. The war has really taxed Israel's capacities in many ways, and particularly its soldiers. In recent weeks, we've started to see a real shift in Israeli public opinion. If...
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
In the early days, right after the Hamas attack on October 7th, the Israeli public was almost totally unified behind the campaign in Gaza. The question is now much more fraught. We've seen opinion polls that show that a majority of Israelis support a deal that would free the hostages in exchange for ending the war.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
And I think there is also a growing sense among Israelis of how long can this really last? Does this war really still have a purpose or has it lost its way? I interviewed one reservist who described how he couldn't shake the feeling that Israel was sinking into the sands of Gaza. That...

it was sort of having its own Vietnam moment in the sense that the United States continued to fight the war in Vietnam well after many had concluded that the war fundamentally could not be won. At least some people have said that they no longer want to participate in the war because they feel that it no longer serves a purpose or because they've been worn down by hundreds of days of reserve duty.

I think that says a lot about you know, how, you know, it raises a yellow card to Israel's ability to continue fighting indefinitely.

Thanks for having me.

An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
So I think Israel does care about these concerns. At the end of the day, Israel is not a superpower. It relies on its allies. It needs diplomatic backing from the rest of the world. It relies extensively on the United States, its biggest patron.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
And for all the bravado and bluster that we hear from Israeli leaders, I think they do recognize that they have to sometimes make concessions in the face of diplomatic pressure from abroad.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
So for example, Netanyahu, when he was justifying the decision to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza to his base, who had sort of criticized him from the right, he said, from a diplomatic perspective, not just practically in terms of the situation in Gaza, but also diplomatically, we can't allow things in Gaza to become catastrophic. We can't allow there to be starvation in Gaza.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
And on one level, you have rhetoric. And then on another level, there's realpolitik and there's interests. And Netanyahu had to sort of walk a fine line between these different competing interests, both inside Israel and inside his own coalition, inside his own security establishment, and then also among his allies abroad.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
So some officials have made exactly the latter argument. And that's what Netanyahu was saying. On Thursday night in Israel, he made a statement where he invoked the horrific shooting before pivoting to how Israel couldn't accept an end to the war before Hamas's total defeat.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
And on the other hand, you also have some people on the left who look at this incident and they draw a totally different conclusion. From their perspective, it wasn't criticism of the war, which was making the world less safe for Jews and for Israelis. It's just the war, which has had a horrible toll and whose end, as far as all of us can tell, is still nowhere to be seen.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
So at around 9 p.m. on Wednesday night, there was a shooting in Washington, D.C., It was right outside the Capitol Jewish Museum where a major American Jewish organization, the American Jewish Committee, was having an event for young diplomats where they were focused on discussing aid to Gaza and the Middle East.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
Now, according to the police, a shooter approached a number of people who had left the event. He pulled out a handgun and he opened fire, killing two of them. Both of them were employees of the Israeli embassy in Washington. One of them was named Yaron Lushinsky. He was 30 years old. And the other was Sarah Milgram, 26. The two of them were dating.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
And Mr. Lushinsky, according to his family, had planned to propose marriage during a trip to Israel next week. A lot of the details about the attack remain unclear. There's video of the alleged attacker shouting, "'Free Palestine!'
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
at the scene as he's being detained, but it wasn't clear whether the shooter was targeting this event because it was at a Jewish museum or because it was hosting Israeli embassy employees or for some other reason entirely. At this stage, we just don't know 100%. That being said, law enforcement officials are looking into this as a potential hate crime and an act of terror.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
So in Israel, people were really shocked. I mean, they viewed the idea that two people who work for the Israeli embassy might be targeted in the middle of Washington, D.C. as, you know, absolutely shocking and horrifying. It was immediately condemned. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a horrific anti-Semitic murder. And many Israeli leaders turned their criticism outward.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
In fact, at a news conference just after news of the shooting broke, Gideon Saar, the Israeli foreign minister, actually accused Israel's critics abroad. This incitement is also done
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
Particularly in Europe, where he said some international organizations and government officials had used words like genocide, crimes against humanity, paved the way exactly for such murders. And Saar tried to draw a straight line between this criticism of Israel and the horrible killing of the young couple. But this is really an enormously emotionally charged debate.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
In fact, some in Israel's opposition actually blamed Israeli government policies, which they said were fueling antisemitism around the world.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
Let's be clear, this is standard rhetoric from the foreign minister. There's been enormous international concern over the toll of the war in Gaza. According to Palestinian health officials in Gaza, more than 50,000 people have been killed since the beginning of the war. A lot of those concerns were voiced in private channels with Israeli officials.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
But over the past few weeks, and especially over the last week, some of Israel's own traditional allies have dramatically ratcheted up their public condemnations of Israeli policies towards Gaza. And to understand that, you really have to understand the situation on the ground in Gaza right now.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
For more than two months, Israel barred the entry of all humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. That meant no food, no fuel, no medicine.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
Right, exactly. And this caused widespread hunger and deprivation among Gazans, who had already faced enormous struggles over the course of more than a year of devastating war.

Which suggests that they are going to launch a major ground offensive in Gaza that could potentially upend everything in the Gaza Strip.

That's what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is talking about. And I think all of this together has really begun to cause a dramatic shift in the way that even Israel's traditional allies are talking about Israeli policy toward Gaza.

So this week we saw Canada, Britain and France come out with some of the strongest condemnations of Israel. the Israeli blockade on humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip. We also saw the new pope call for the immediate entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and for the war to come to an end.

Pro-Palestinian critics have argued that the shift has been mostly rhetorical. But Britain on Tuesday actually did announce that it was suspending further negotiations on expanding its free trade agreement with Israel. And this was very clearly a protest against Israeli policies.

Back in January, Israel and Hamas agreed on a ceasefire. The goal of the ceasefire was ultimately to reach an end to the war and free the remaining Israeli and foreign hostages who were still held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The first part of the ceasefire is slated to last six weeks. which took Israel and Hamas all the way up to early March.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
At that point, both sides were deadlocked over the next steps in the truce. And this is when Israel applies that blockade on Gaza, on all humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip, in what Israeli officials called an attempt to pressure Hamas. Basically, their argument was negotiations over freeing the remaining hostages that Hamas is still holding in Gaza have reached a dead end.
The Daily

and we're going to use every tool at our disposal to pressure hamas to come to the table israel also argues that a lot of the humanitarian aid that goes into gaza is exploited by hamas that hamas either diverts it or takes control of it stores it for its own purposes or makes money off of it so from israel's perspective
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
This was a key sort of pressure point where they could make their opponents feel the pain. And then two weeks after that blockade begins, Israel resumes attacking Hamas in Gaza, ending the ceasefire.

So Gazans who we speak to have talked about street markets that have relatively little food to offer and whatever they do have is at unattainable prices. people scrounging whatever they can from canned food or surviving from basically communal soup kitchens. But even those have also increasingly struggled to keep up their operations as the stockpiles of food in Gaza have dwindled.

Some people are dying of diseases simply because they're so malnourished. When there's widespread hunger, it's not necessarily that people are going to die of starvation or wasting away, but that their body's immune system might simply become too weak to fight off diseases that they might otherwise be able to fend off.

For the first several weeks, Israeli officials took a very clear stance. They said that more than enough supplies had entered Gaza during the ceasefire to provision Gaza for months, at least for a very, very long time, and that the blockade was not causing widespread suffering to ordinary Palestinian civilians living in Gaza.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
But as the blockade wore on, weeks and weeks later, some Israeli military officers privately began to change that assessment. My colleagues Natan Odenheimer and Renan Bergman reported that these officers had found that unless Israel changed its policy, and soon, that Palestinians in Gaza could face widespread starvation.
The Daily
An Outcry in Europe, a Shooting in Washington and a Blockade in Gaza
Finally, on Sunday evening, the Israeli government announced that in order to prevent starvation, they were going to allow some amount of food into the Gaza Strip. So we've started to see some aid trickle in over the past few days. But now everybody is watching and waiting to see what happens next.

And the caveat to it that is making us a little uncomfortable is that they're offering half of the business to us, half to her brother, um, where they would essentially, um, gift us half of the value of the business, which has no debt.

I have to bump that up to about a hundred K a year. The issue is we're still in baby step two. We still have about 90 K to pay down.

We don't necessarily want to get out of the home that we already own.
