  If you’ve ever been curious about twins, nature vs. nurture, or how our closest relationships shape who we are, you’ll want to dive straight into our latest conversation with Dr. Nancy Segal. From nature versus nurture debates to the unique bonds that connect twins, Dr. Segal shares her groundbreaking research and personal stories that reveal just how much twins can teach us about human behavior, relationships, and even ourselves. You’ll hear incredible insights into the genetics of twinning, the emotional intensity of twin loss, and the surprising science behind topics like IVF, surrogacy, and even doppelgängers. Get ready for heartwarming stories, real-life drama including a remarkable court case about citizenship and twin brothers born through surrogacy to gay fathers—and plenty of wisdom from both Dr. Segal and Grandpa Wayne.

Stay tuned—these are stories you truly have to hear to believe! Nancy L. Segal is a distinguished researcher whose work explores the unique bonds between twins. In her studies, she discovered that twins whether identical or fraternal tend to grieve the loss of their twin sibling even more deeply than the loss of a parent. This remarkable finding highlights the profound kinship twins share. Segal's curiosity extends to the complex web of genetics and relationships, noting that identical twins share all their genes, which might, in theory, make their grief even more intense compared to losing a child, with whom they share only half their genes. While she has yet to study how the loss of a child compares to the loss of a twin, Segal continues to ask thought-provoking questions about family, genetics, and the human experience of loss. Dr. Nancy Segal is a distinguished professor of psychology, developmental psychologist, director of the Twin Studies Center, and published author. Dr. Nancy Segal is an American evolutionary psychologist and behavioral geneticist, specializing in the study of twins.

• 425. Not a Real Enemy The True Story of a Hungarian Jewish Man’s Fight for Freedom: Robert J. Wolf

  Robert J. Wolf grew up hearing the powerful stories of his father, who was once a spoiled only child until his world and the world of his parents was drastically changed overnight. Wolf’s family history is marked by profound loss; his grandparents perished at Auschwitz, victims of atrocities that stripped countless people of even the most basic freedoms, like voting or owning a radio. These experiences shaped Robert’s perspective, leading him to write about the lessons we can learn from the past—especially how easily lives of comfort can change and the importance of appreciating and defending the freedoms many take for granted today. On this powerful episode of Better Call Daddy, hosts Reena Watts and Wayne Friedman are joined by Dr. Robert J. Wolf, author and son of Hungarian Holocaust survivors. Dr. Wolf shares the extraordinary story behind his book, "Not a Real Enemy," chronicling his family's harrowing escapes from Nazi-occupied Hungary, their resilience through the Holocaust, and their search for safety and freedom. Together, they explore the enduring impact of antisemitism, the miracles that shaped his father's survival, and the universal lessons about courage, humility, and hope. Tune in as Dr. Wolf opens up about what it means to carry on his family's legacy, the importance of educating future generations about the dangers of hatred, and the ongoing fight against antisemitism in the modern world. With reflections from Reena’s own father, you'll hear how the lessons of the past can help light the way forward, not just for the Jewish community—but for anyone who values tolerance, compassion, and the fight for freedom. This is a deeply moving conversation about memory, identity, and the power of storytelling to inspire change. Robert Wolf M.D., grew up as the only child of Ervin and Judit Wolf. Their stories of their escape from communist Hungary, and his father's tragic history of escaping the Nazis twice but having his own parents deported to Auschwitz, inspired Robert to document his parents' tales and share those stories with Jewish groups and others throughout the United States. In "Not a Real Enemy," Robert shares his family saga-and the forgotten history of the nearly half million Hungarian Jews who were deported and killed during the Holocaust-through an epic and inspiring tale of daring escapes, terrifying oppression, tragedy, and triumph.  (00:00) "Dad's Impressive Medical Achievement" (09:07) Gratitude for Free Opportunity (11:10) Putin's Ukraine War Comments (17:07) Escape from Oppressive Regimes (24:29) Navigating Criticism and Competition (27:07) Humiliation, Hope, and Integrity (32:12) Hope for Unity and Peace (38:37) Confronting Hate Through Stories (44:31) Survivor's Redemption Story (49:16) Pursuing Speaking Engagements Globally (56:02) Preserving Jewish Stories and Awareness (58:28) Jewish Legacy and Overcoming Adversity (01:02:59) Fatherly Advice Connect with Robert https://robertjwolfmd.com/ Connect with Reena Friedman Watts: - Website: bettercalldaddy.com - LinkedIn: Reena Friedman Watts - Twitter: @reenareena - Instagram: @Reena Friedman Watts - YouTube: Better Call Daddy Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear a story of resilience and hope!
