St. Francy McDrancy - Our Family History: We have often discussed how thoughts of our existence and identity plague us. The idea of how we got here, why and from where was simply the straw that threw the camel into an existential crisis. Because we are both terrified of sending our DNA to undisclosed businesses, it seemed as if we'd always wonder how in the actual f word did our gene pool create the two of us in the same family. Turns out, someone in our family already did the work and put information about our dad's maternal side into a sweet little (big) binder. This is the episode where we put some of the pieces together; more specifically which one of us looks like our great grandma and which one of us looks like a war hero. by Ladies & Tangents
