Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here's a question. A guy asked his friend to email
the Morning Show to get your opinions. Steve. My wife
went out of town this past weekend, and it was
a good thing because on Saturday, a young guy, maybe
around twenty years old, rang my doorbell. He asked me
my name, asked if I once lived in Memphis, and
asked me if I knew a woman whose name I
(00:21):
won't mention. When those checked out, he then put out
his hand and told me he was my son. I
lived in Tennessee two decades ago, and I dated the
woman for a little while. So the math checks out,
and this was right before my wife and I got married.
But the kid's mom didn't tell me any of this.
(00:41):
I invited the young man in and we talked more
about it. He's trying to put his life together. It
was a cool conversation and we both agreed to get
a DNA test to confirm or deny the possibility that
he is my son. And yes, he favors me either way.
How do I break this Maury Povie you are or
(01:02):
you are not the father situation? To my wife? Do
I tell her everything about the visit the DNA test
or wait for the results and then tell her I
have a son.

test and then when it comes back positive that that's
your son, then you got to tell your wife exactly
