0:00.0 | You're watching the Philip DeFranco show. I hope you have in a fantastic Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning. |
0:04.8 | I'll try not to ruin it too much, but we got a lot of news to talk about today, so let's just jump into it. |
0:09.4 | Starting with an absolutely wild news, a Canadian DNA laboratory knowingly delivered paternity test results that regularly misidentified biological fathers. |
