My sister's insane $200,000 surrogacy bombshell left me speechless. And I don't know what to do. Sam, you know, I know what to do. Take the $200 grand and run. Take the to it. Go to it. Buy a farm. Live off the land. Oh my. 200K in Mexico? 200K in Mexico. 200K in Mexico. You have a surrogacy mansion.

0:23.5

Oh yeah.

0:24.7

Surrogacy mansion. Oh, yeah. Surrogacy

0:24.2

mansion. Literally. I want a new show. Forget Love Island. I want surrogacy mansion. Yes. Forget

0:30.4

Milf Manor. I want surrogacy mansion. That surrogacy mansion. I mean, I think we just created new hit IP for a great new TV show. So question, do they take the 200K with the surrogate baby already implanted or is it without the surrogate baby already implanted? I think we get a throw me down an upfront contract and I'm like, all right, upfront, agreed, dip. Dip. Okay. So out of jurisdiction. No baby. No baby. No problem. No problems. Okay. All right, let's dive into

0:56.0

let's see. For most of my life, my sister Alice has been wanting kids, but has been unable to carry

1:00.7

a baby to full term and part due to endometriosis, which I imagine prevents you from carrying a baby

1:07.6

to full term. She was in a lot of pain and had to have a hysterectomy. Alice and her husband Ben have fostered five children and have adopted two children with autism and our great parents. That is a handful. I mean, pretty good, I would say. Seem like good Samaritans. Yeah, good Samaritans helping out the get, but five kids. Damn. It's a lot. I thought the juggle. They have a great home environment and are financially very well off.

1:30.7

But recently, Ben and out the kid, but five kids. Damn. It's a lot. That's a lot. Not to juggle. They have a great

1:27.8

home environment and are financially very well off. But recently Ben and after a while, Alice,

1:32.5

were bitten with the urge to have a kid biologically related to them because they wanted a

1:38.0

chance to quote, do things right and provide the best start in life. Their view is not mine.

1:43.5

I love it. It's like, yeah, we've, we've helped all these of these foster kids. But we really want to do it right this time. You know, we don't want to. All these kids that we have are really fucked up. Yeah, we don't want to take someone who's already gone through all this BS. Like, we want, we want a clean slate. It's like, that's what we want. Okay, come on. All this baggage, who's got time for it? So they came to me.

2:04.4

They asked, clean slate. It's like, that's what we want. Okay. Come on. All this baggage, who's got time for it?

2:02.5

So, they came to me. They asked me to be their traditional surrogates. And they said they would cover

2:08.6

all costs, legal, medical, et cetera, associated with it. They would also be paying off my student

2:13.6

debt. Pretty good. That sounds great. Renting a two-bedroom apartment for three years,

2:17.7

plus giving me a substantial amount of cash. Yo, that's, that's pretty great. Hard to beat. That's hard to beat. I said, sure. It'll be nine months of my life in exchange for being set up for quite some time. And my immediate family thinks it's a great idea. So everyone's on board. Like yo, get impregnated, girl, get that payday.

2:35.4

Get that baby, get that money.

2:36.9

Oh, yeah.
