Um, I'm gonna just put this night bar collar on him. It is not shocking. It just quietly vibrates, which I wish we could put on all our kids. Just kidding. I'm here. I'm here. Hold on. It's quietly vibrates. I love that it just is like mindfulness for dogs. It's just like, um, just be

aware that you are barking. Uh, it's so funny. Listener right before the show started. Alicia was like, uh, my dog is being so good. My dog is so quiet. She showed us the dog was like snuggled and silent. And then, uh, and then she was like, but wait until we start and then I'll be like, Django, be quiet. And then Django was like, yikes. And then all hell broke loose. I know. And then we saw a squirrel. That's what's happening.

1:54.0

There's a, which I shouldn't say the word because that's a trigger word around here. Oh my god. You're triggering the dog. I am. I am. So just so you know, but don't worry. He has his gentle vibrating bar color. I love that. I need a color like that for a few things. Me too. We all had one of those are just like.

2:15.0

You're going too far. You've gone too far again, Alicia. Okay. All vibration reminded me that he don't ask strangers a question like that.

2:28.0

All right. We are joined by a person who has been here before. She's a licensed therapist, but she's also the host of the Everything's Relative with Eve Sturgis podcast. It's Eve Sturgis.

2:42.0

Yes. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Thanks for coming on show. Oh, yeah. I was going to say I just I'm sorry that it's that the name of my show is so awkward to then follow up with my name.

2:57.0

It's well to with Eve Sturgis. I mean, I didn't notice it till you pointed it out.

3:12.0

That was a lot. I mean, I like it. I feel awkward about it. Don't I feel awkward about it every week, every week. I'm like, thanks for coming. Welcome to Everything's Relative with Eve Sturgis. I am.

3:22.0

It's nervous. Oh, but you did it well. So it was like, if you, I mean, I liked it. I thought it was good, but I would feel the same way. Thanks.

3:31.0

Remind everyone what your podcast is about if if our listener has.

3:37.0

Yeah. So what I do is I want to talk with people about DNA discoveries, but what that means is what I really want to talk about is people who are finding out that they are not who they thought they were often.

3:56.0

And I think it's just a 23 me and recreational other recreational mail in DNA kits. People are finding out that they were adopted and nobody told them or they come from an affair and nobody told them.

4:10.0

4:33.0

Yeah. It's about the same. It's like it for sure applies to you. It happens to people. Do you know something I don't know?

4:41.0
