Ever wish you could buy some free hope? Co-hosts Nyah Skye and "Bird" keep an ongoing record of the ups and downs of their lives -- which began to overlap when her mother introduced a 12 year-old Nyah to the man who would become her step-dad. Now Nyah and "Bird" -- a 21 year-old college senior and a ... -old teacher -- squeeze recordings into their rare moments, and confirm that they have reached the most hallowed and impossible of goals, for daughter and step-dad: Family Not Friends
