Welcome to other people's lives. The podcast where each week we speak with an anonymous stranger that we found on the internet who we think is interesting.

I'm your host, Joe Sanagato, along with my co-host Greg Dyback. This week Greg found an ad titled,

Are You Lonely or Alone?

Need a family?

So we decided to reach out to this person and they've agreed to join us for a phone call in a few minutes, but before we speak with them,

Greg, let's take a look at the ad. What's going on here?

So this ad is titled, Are You Lonely Alone Need a Family?

And the ad reads,

we are a group of young men who have bonded together to try and form a family of like-minded people who will hopefully become a real family and be there to support and nurture each other.

We are gay and straight and our common thread is that we want the support and love of family can bring us.

We range in age from 38 to 20 and are of all backgrounds.

This is not a sexual thing and we request that you not smoke or use drugs.

For now, we keep in touch mainly by phone and have a facilitator to help us.

If you feel that you are in need of a family or just like the idea of being with others who can be there for you,

please drop us an email and tell us a little about yourself.

All are welcome as long as they are willing to follow the rules and are willing to be supportive and caring towards other members.

Then there is a sign off that says we hope to hear from you.

L-M-M-A-P-C and then in parentheses it says Members initials.

So I am assuming that is the-

6-6 man family.

Yeah, 6-man family.

So yeah, really curious about this one.
