The hosts dive deep into the world of consumer DNA testing with contrasting perspectives. Kerry shares her journey of identity recalibration after discovering she's only 2% Northern Italian despite growing up with strong Italian cultural influences. While Chrisy won't even lick an envelope.

The conversation takes thought-provoking turns as we consider the broader implications of sharing genetic material. With law enforcement increasingly using these databases to solve crimes through family matching and companies potentially facing bankruptcy or data breaches, is the curiosity worth the potential privacy trade-offs? And what happens when you discover unexpected family connections—are you prepared to expand your "dysfunctional family" to include newfound relatives?
Whether you're contemplating sending your own DNA sample, have already discovered surprising ancestry results, or remain firmly in the skeptics' camp, this episode offers plenty to contemplate about technology's growing role in defining who we are. Join us for two-episode journey of this fascinating discussion!
