Haley Does DNA Testing
221 | Haley Does DNA Testing In the final episode before our summer break, guest host Lisette Austin interviews Haley Radke! We are talking all about DNA testing: what made Haley finally take the plunge, which companies she chose to use, and about all the surprise feelings that came up. Haley also did this weird podcaster thing where she recorded her inner thoughts while spitting in the tubes… so we may have a few clips from that throughout the episode. We’ll see you back here in September, make sure you’re following or subscribed to Adoptees On so...

Hello everyone. I've released two episodes this week. One is called what the adults should be watching and this is the other one. In this episode titled what the kids should be watching, I line you up with some of Remi and Rocco Radke's favorite things that they are currently watching or just finished watching. Of which there are many. This idea came from one of my viewers who watches my two precious knuckleheads everyday on their Facebook Live show called Reminade. It comes on Monday through Friday at 3 p.m. Central Time. For some odd reason, t...

Listen to me Stream(H)ers, these are perilous times we are living in. It's one thing not to be able to buy a loaf of carbs at the grocery store. It's one thing to have to wipe yourself with Kleenex, because Kleenex aren't cheap. It's another thing entirely when Tom Hanks and Idris Elba get the coronavirus. I suppose COVID-19 is no different than us. You don't see it infecting Steve Buscemi. I'll bet Corey Feldman is at home as healthy as you please.
