There's so much news happening around the world that we're somehow supposed to stay on top of.

That's why we launched The Big Take.

It's a daily podcast from Bloomberg and I Heart Radio that turns down the volume a bit

to give you some space to think.

I'm Wes Kosova.

Each weekday I dig into one important story and talk about why it matters.

Listen to The Big Take on The I Heart Radio App, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

Hey and welcome to this short stuff.

I'm Josh, there's Chuck, there's Dave.

Be quiet.

that that would be an issue that somebody would need to solve, it was pretty much solved

because if we grew up in a world where you could genetically test for paternity, like

testing markers on white blood cells and produce basically a 99.99% accurate assessment

of whether somebody was the father of a child or not.

Prior to us coming of age in this age of genetic paternity testing, however, it was a real

problem, Chuck.

Like a longstanding problem, apparently.
