Did he just casually mention that the two stepchildren got married?? I guess that’s Utah for you.
Glad somebody else caught that
This was the most casual way of mentioning that tidbit.
Sure, but they are not actually related. They are no more related than any two random people, as it was only their parents who were married.
@bluecafe509 true, still some what awkward
@BiscayneSupercars Not really awkward. The kids were already adults when their parents got married.
im sorry did I hear that correctly? 2 of the stepchildren dated and got married?
Even for me being a Utahn, that’s borderline weird. Especially since they started dating after their parents got married.
Npat of 56M….this company is worth 1B at best
what? they are married and their kids also married each other? ???????? did i hear it right?
those 2 kids are unrelated by blood.
i think the company has potential. data drive so it can expend to other areas, i hope they find a way to make it work.
Way overvalued & they have the trouble of buying a brands product
