Then his grandma remarried.

So nobody talked about it.

Crazily enough.

I knew that my grandparents had been famous and my grandma was an actress.

But it really wasn't until I was a teenager and a radio producer actually discovered by accident that my grandma was alive.

I went, what?

There's still a Piddington alive?

The reporter calls up his grandma and is like, hey, can I interview you?

And my grandma was hesitant.

She was like, oh, I'm not sure.

I'll be very good.

I can try and remember.

And they came and interviewed her.

And when it went to air, when it got broadcast, we all drove up to his grandma's house and listened to it around the radio like they would have back in the 1950s and heard the story.

And that's when Jesse discovered that his grandparents, Leslie and Sidney Piddington, one time had an audience of 20 million people.

Yeah, yeah.

Basically, the population of Australia was listening to my grandparents back in the 1950s.

No way.

I was like, yeah, why don't I know this?

This is in my family and why don't I know it?
