Kendall and Corey are joined this episode by Ryan Pesavento (they/them), who accidentally discovered a family secret. Ryan was donor conceived, and after doing a DNA test, they discovered more than a dozen siblings. That number has grown to currently 71 total, and many of the half-siblings are connected in a Facebook group. Ryan has been in touch with their sperm donor, as a "professional relationship" to gain biological information. Ryan has met 10 of their siblings around the country thus far, and is about to embark on a road trip where they will meet several of their siblings in person.
