About Cara and Stevie... they asked for it back and Cara was refusing. It's a lesson learned. And you know what, when people do bad things they get a consequence (in this instance a family friend). If she doesn't want that to happen then she should teach her son to behave better and behave better herself. You do t take peoples stuff & refuse to give it back. That is called stealing and she a bad Mom for not understanding that this happens with kids sometimes & you give the property back. She sucks
Honestly, 2nd Story I disagree. It seems like OP asked his uncle, who happened to be a cop to get the Switch back. OP is not the person that went to the 6 year old and told them it'd be his fault his mom would go to jail. OP just took the only real option he'd have aside from getting an actual police report to get the item back. I do agree what the Uncle did was a dick-move, but it's not like OP asked their Uncle to traumatize the kid. They just asked them to get the Switch back from Cara/Kara? EDIT: Also, for Story 4, how can you argue that 'People can change' when his current girlfriend is literally the AP and a 19 year old from his previous relationship. I'd argue if you did want to change, the Brother would've agreed with OP and actually mentioned that he wanted to change and be a better person. Instead of storming off and locking yourself in your room.
@@indigocrayon520 Well, as much as I like to give the side eye to cousins getting together, from a health perspective it's not that... "bad". First cousins share about 12.5% DNA on average, though the actual range is between 4-23%. First cousins, once removed, are at 6.25% average, with a range of 2-11.5%. Second cousins are at 3.13% average, range at 2-6%. 2nd cousin, once removed, average 1.5%, range at 0.6-2.5%. From what I remember, in general when it comes to inbreeding, you'll start to see small things at the 12.5% mark. But the more... obvious things show at around 20-something. So it's much more surprising that the cousin from the father-daughter one is healthy, considering that is a 50% DNA share. Oh I should add that even with low percentages, and DnD players know this well, is still a risk. Because you don't know what genes you'll pass on.
@@lina9535 her son is the one marrying his cousin, that's why I thought there may be issue because his mom is the one where her dad and grandfather are the same person
I feel like the monthly punishment is just gonna end up being your partners getting petty revenge for small things anytime they're asked to help come up with something 😂😂
Nah if my niece or nephew stole form me or my kid is do the same thing. They talked to the mom and the mom was refusing to return the switch. That's not cheap.
I agree, the mother was completely supporting her kid stealing and lying. I hardly doubt he's traumatized. She's most likely lying for sympathy. If she's ok with her son lying she'll do it too. She's not a good person.
@@vanessaeverett7790idk a cop telling a 6 YO it’s their fault their mom and them could go to jail could easily be traumatizing. i totally think the mom is a POS for enabling that behavior, but she’s the one who deserved the petty revenge not the literal 6 YO.
I think the kid will get over it, if anything, whatever the mom did that could have gotten her arrested (probably got physical with an officer) traumatized him more. Also, some trauma is.... this is badly worded, but "less serious" than others. Just as how not all traumatic experiences leave a trauma behind. You can also get over trauma, either with time or with therapy. After one time when I was SA'd, I refused to leave the house from late November to mid-late February, because the dude apparently lived pretty close to me. I lived with my grandpa, and mom came to get him to go shopping each Thursday. Those were the only times I left the house, and even as a 20 year old (20-22 I think) I was clinging to my mom, I refused to let go of her arm (not in the car obviously). For a while afterwards, I was really nervous about yellow cabs (which the guy had driven), but now I don't even care about them. I also don't think that the police would yell at a 6 year old (which Sean seemed to imply)
For the first story I agree she’s the AH for continuously bringing it up but I also feel like they got so defensive bc they know it’s a possibility and they don’t want to know. Bc if you’re certain that everything is fine and you aren’t related then why not get the test anyway 🤷🏽♀️ especially when she wants kids right away
Story 1: I had a male friend in college who had the same last name as me (not a common last name at all), but we weren’t related at all. We even did ancestry tracking to see and nothing matched. People assumed when we hung out that we were either married or family, so we just told everyone we were cousins 😅😂😂
MY thing about genetic testing is testing for possible genetic diseases or disabilities like cystic fibrosis. I think everyone that has plans for having a kid I think they should be tested. But I know that’s not feasible…..
Yea, but you can't test for everything. My son and husband happened to have a genetic chronic disease so rare, you specifically have to test for it. He didn't know he had it before having kids cuz of being misdiagnosed before. Then we also happened to have ADHD (him) and autism (me) which we passed on to both kids. Can't test that beforehand either with DNA tests. And my oldest also got born with cataract, which happened by a mutation. She's visually impaired now and mutations are also something a DNA test on the parents won't do anything against. We did have her tested to see if she had an illness where cataract in children often shows (cuz cataract in children is rare and often a byproduct of other illnesses) but still nothing came out of it. But ofc when you do know beforehand that something genetically runs in the family then ofc a DNA test beforehand checks out. Even if it's just to find out if you have it so you can deal with it before having kids.
My parents had the same last name before they got married, they were from the same island but they weren't related. We are black and back in the day slaves would take the last name of the slave owner and it's a very common british last name. Different circumstances makes it really depends. If they're white and it's really a concern ( idk if it is because their families seem to have met and no one has said anything ) they should get a dna test if they want kids
In regards to the gender neutral term for Aunt/Uncle, there isn't exactly a solid answer on it. One answer is Pibling which seems to be pretty common (similar to nibling which you could use to refer to your sibling's child), another is Auncle which is a combination of the two terms that are widely used, and the last one that I could find is just Cousin or Nibling. This has sent me down a fun rabbit hole of useful information so thank you! 17:00
I like cousin. On my dad's side of the family everyone is a cousin, doesn't even matter if it's first, second, third, or a close family friend, they're all cousins.
For the term “Indian Giver”, I actually always thought it was referring negatively towards the government for constantly giving the Native Americans land and then taking it away when it was convenient for the USA.
As an African, it's a literal abomination to date or marry someone with the same last name because even though you might not be biologically related, your clan names make you spiritually related.
In other places it's different My parents had the same last name before they got married, they were from the same island but they weren't related. We are black and back in the day slaves would take the last name of the slave owner and it's a very common british last name. Different circumstances makes it really depends.

i’m from the US, and i find it weird. i have a unique last name and met a guy (from a different state, unrelated to our knowledge) who asked me out, and i got such an ick from that. tbf i was a closeted lesbian at that time so that may have contributed to the ick, but the last name thing bothered me. i have a huge family, particularly on my dad’s side (i have 25 first cousins alone not to mention countless second cousins who i don’t know as well), and even though he was from out of state, it was only one over like there’s so many ppl out there to ask out why me (it was also via an instagram dm after 1.5 years of not seeing him, and we only knew each other through a common class lol)? 😭
@@mikkat8613 exogamy is what the msin comment is saying. If you have clans where you're from and hsve clsn bloodlines then there'd be a huge deal among Africans. Some North Africans don't even let their children marry from their nannies' (and wet nurses) clans. It's pretty serious around these parts.
The tattoo take I disagree with. It was harmless to give a small laugh, not the asshol. People don't always have to support siblings and she wasn't overly cruel in pointing out the truth in the irony of the tattoo.
Story 2 reminds me of that bit from Arrested Development... Life Lessons From J. Walter Weatherman... probably traumatizing for the child, but that's where my mind went lol.
Story 4: Laughing at the tattoo. I just realized little bro is probably the type complaining that “B*tches Ain’t Loyal!” And “I wouldn’t have cheated if those chicks had treated me right!” 😂 So it’s likely he got the tattoo as a reminder to keep girl-hopping until he finds a woman properly loyal TO HIM 🤦🏾♀️😜😒
I don't think marrying a distant cousin is morally wrong or anything, but if it's a distinct possibility (like it seems it could be considering the state) I think id want to do genetic testing for rare genetic markers. I grew up with a kid who had a rare genetic disorder, 3 out of 4 of his parents kids had it, and it was really hard on them all. They weren't cousins, and the chances of both parents being carriers was exceptionally rare. It made me think that every couple who wants kids should probably get checked, for their own peace of mind. The odds for distant cousins goes up a little. Wouldn't stop me from marrying someone, but it would probably make me choose adoption or a sperm donor if we wanted kids.
I come from a smalllllllll town (in the northern u.s) and it is definitely a thing there to date ur cousin. 💀💀💀 im on team get a dna test cus I know too many people who been with their cousins
Story 2: I remember stealing from one of my bullies in 6th grade, I was 11. One of my "friends" told on me and I got detention for it. Which is fair, stealing is bad. But my mum decided to take me down to the local police station and somehow she got them to put me into a cell for about an hour, felt like longer. Never trusted her or the police again after that, and I still don't. I find it wild that me lashing out against my BULLIES, resulted in me being put into a cell instead of actually being helped. Yes, my mum knew I was being bullied. Yes, my teachers knew too. Lets just say I now have issues and trauma with people in any kind of authoritative positions
I was talking to this girl who we both had unique different last names but we both knew our last names. One day i mention my last name and she goes oh my Grandmas last name is that and like huh 😮?? Ive only known one actor who was a different race with this last name. So i begin to ask her and it becomes obvious were cousins and im like how could she be this slow as to not put 2 and 2 together.
Im not from some spiritual culture and im not religious, i'm just a boring white person and even i think they should at least get a dna test, last name couples are weird because even if its a common last night in the states it never hurts to make sure
Fun fact... first cousins have only a slightly increased risk of genetic issues vs people who are totally unrelated, about 4-6% vs 3%. As much fun as we like to make here in the south, it's not really that big a deal.
BS, I will not believe that the officer went there almost mad at the little boy and mother. The cop was a friend to ops family. Or an uncle. It's the mom making it more dramatic bc she was wrong.
Nah, natural consequences. You steal, you get the cops called on you. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Its a parenting issue and the kid needed to learn a lesson. A switch costs enough to actually have the mother arrested if she refused to gove it back. It isnt a prank, it is absolutely okay. Clearly, the adult wasnt acting like an adult
Hey guys! Loved the episode as per usual! I've been a regular listener for more than a year now (found you on Tiktok with the "imposing my culture" one). I'm glad you cleared things up about the monthly competition because I sometimes felt like Sean and John didn't really enjoy it. BUT ! Now that things are all good, may I suggest that Josh uses his letter board to keep the score? It would be additional pressure for the guys to constantly see who's winning or losing. Love you all (but I must admit Josh is my favorite). Kisses from France!
Honestly I guess the last one as well because it seemed to far fetched if you ask me. Like the reaction made no sense and I’m honestly glad that was the AI one and didn’t happen 😮💨
Yeah but it's more than the same name. It's a sparsely populated rural area and neighboring counties. It's best to get it checked out first, if nothing else just to make sure both parties aren't carrying recessive genes that would cause a problem with offspring. They probably aren't first cousins (or closer), so the familiar relationship wouldn't even matter unless again they were both carrying a gene that causes problems.
This is regarding the story at 27:25, the nephew who was told he couldn’t have more food by his uncle (OP). This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think that OP was an AH for saying no to his nephew to go for a second serving of food. Listen, I’ve been hungry as a kid and asked for seconds at my friends’ house too. I remember that. And I remember the parents said no. Idk why, but I guess they had their reasons. My point is; I don’t have trauma as an adult now that this boundary was drawn back then. I simply remember it as an “be grateful for what you got and be grateful for that. It’s okay to ask for more, but accept that they might say no - which is their right and is okay.” OP is not at AH. It’s not their kid. Kid is not staving if he doesn’t get second serving. Jesus Christ!
Story 2: I'm not sure if OP told the Officer to scare the kid like that, but even if he did scaring him like that was definitely too much. I as an adult get nervous around them just seeing them in public. I can only imagine what a 6 y.o. feels when a uniformed man comes into his home takes (what he believes is his) and then verbally intimidates him by threatening his family. That's not a way to build trust between police and civilians first of all. Second of all a simple sit down with the kid talking about how what he did is wrong even if his mom said it isn't, would set him straight for now. We want children to have trust in authorities so they can ask for help if need be. His actions only strengthen the "Us vs Them" mindset. The officer should definitely do a revision on anger control and how to interact with kids in exactly this kind of situation.
someone on here said they doubt the kid is traumatized like wtf that’s the only thing that mother said i believe. i’ve had really bad experiences with the cops; one time a group of girls that was bullying me called the cops on me for being suicidal (i was not. i was actually having a great day which they knew, but they knew i had mental health issues so weaponized that). i don’t want to go into that whole experience, but the cops were probably “nicer” to me (they were still awful, abused power dynamics to make me strip for them, and lied to me about the laws as i was having a panic attack due to cops randomly showing up at my door while sick with covid) than to this 6 YO, and that experience traumatized me more than getting drugged and sexually assaulted in a basement full of men. i was an adult for those experiences. can’t even imagine being 6. i have more cop trauma, but this is long enough lol
Hmmmmm A small part of me thinks the the brother was right about the divorce... he needed to say it better but I feel like not taking care of the kids, if theres any truth to the drinking etc. and just not having a good strategy to go after the husband, then honestly crying isn't going to help her, she needs to fight it out.
Can you guys please start reading off the top comments on Reddit, or any platform the story is posted on? I understand it takes up time, but for a lot of stories, I feel it’s an essential piece of information lol. I’ve seen other people comment this as well, on other videos, and it hasn’t gained any traction. Please like this comment, so maybe they’ll see it and consider 🫶🏻
The uncle was definitely the AH mans was not okay with the nephew getting a 2nd serving meanwhile he didn’t buy or even cook the food seems like he has a thing against the nephew that is gradually building up as in “you’re under my roof you eat my food” that type of fked up outdated man of the house mentality
I do think though that the six year old will never dare to steal anything in his life 😅
About Cara and Stevie... they asked for it back and Cara was refusing. It's a lesson learned. And you know what, when people do bad things they get a consequence (in this instance a family friend). If she doesn't want that to happen then she should teach her son to behave better and behave better herself. You do t take peoples stuff & refuse to give it back.

The cop one...I think it's hilarious. And the kid won't steal again
Honestly, 2nd Story I disagree.
It seems like OP asked his uncle, who happened to be a cop to get the Switch back. OP is not the person that went to the 6 year old and told them it'd be his fault his mom would go to jail. OP just took the only real option he'd have aside from getting an actual police report to get the item back.
I do agree what the Uncle did was a dick-move, but it's not like OP asked their Uncle to traumatize the kid. They just asked them to get the Switch back from Cara/Kara?

Nah if you're somehow related I would get dna testing done especially if you want kids hell even if you want kids and aren't related get tested.

I think the star youre talking about john is a nautical star i could be wrong 😅
In my country 🇿🇦 it's frowned upon to marry someone with the same surname (or even clan name) as yours
Shout out to Josh from his least favourite province
for the 4th story: as a person who is not from the usa and is 18 i am allowed to drink
Honestly I guess the last one as well because it seemed to far fetched if you ask me. Like the reaction made no sense and I’m honestly glad that was the AI one and didn’t happen 😮💨
Yeah but it's more than the same name. It's a sparsely populated rural area and neighboring counties. It's best to get it checked out first, if nothing else just to make sure both parties aren't carrying recessive genes that would cause a problem with offspring. They probably aren't first cousins (or closer), so the familiar relationship wouldn't even matter unless again they were both carrying a gene that causes problems.
He might be “Sean” to something
I know some of my fellow nonbinary friends call themselves "auncles". Some stick with the regular gendered terms [shrug]
can i have the link to the 23&me episode you did please :)
A Pibling is the non binary term for a parents sibling.
before AI reveal: tattoo sounds like it could be AI
after AI reveal: ok that makes more sense
I'm guessing there's going to be some fat shaming with story 3.
If John and Sean tie Josh gets punished. Lol
My ai predictsean is the incest one lol
This is regarding the story at 27:25, the nephew who was told he couldn’t have more food by his uncle (OP).
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think that OP was an AH for saying no to his nephew to go for a second serving of food. Listen, I’ve been hungry as a kid and asked for seconds at my friends’ house too.
I remember that. And I remember the parents said no. Idk why, but I guess they had their reasons. My point is; I don’t have trauma as an adult now that this boundary was drawn back then. I simply remember it as an “be grateful for what you got and be grateful for that. It’s okay to ask for more, but accept that they might say no - which is their right and is okay.” OP is not at AH. It’s not their kid. Kid is not staving if he doesn’t get second serving. Jesus Christ!
Hola from Ecuador, i found you in tik tok and I’m still wondering why its ON WIKI??
As in Wikipedia. They used to do their own research for this day in history and read from Wikipedia before they hired Alex
What segment does Sean not like?
I was wondering about this too. Hope we get the answer soon!
Story 2: I'm not sure if OP told the Officer to scare the kid like that, but even if he did scaring him like that was definitely too much. I as an adult get nervous around them just seeing them in public. I can only imagine what a 6 y.o. feels when a uniformed man comes into his home takes (what he believes is his) and then verbally intimidates him by threatening his family. That's not a way to build trust between police and civilians first of all. Second of all a simple sit down with the kid talking about how what he did is wrong even if his mom said it isn't, would set him straight for now. We want children to have trust in authorities so they can ask for help if need be. His actions only strengthen the "Us vs Them" mindset. The officer should definitely do a revision on anger control and how to interact with kids in exactly this kind of situation.
someone on here said they doubt the kid is traumatized like wtf that’s the only thing that mother said i believe. i’ve had really bad experiences with the cops; one time a group of girls that was bullying me called the cops on me for being suicidal (i was not. i was actually having a great day which they knew, but they knew i had mental health issues so weaponized that). i don’t want to go into that whole experience, but the cops were probably “nicer” to me (they were still awful, abused power dynamics to make me strip for them, and lied to me about the laws as i was having a panic attack due to cops randomly showing up at my door while sick with covid) than to this 6 YO, and that experience traumatized me more than getting drugged and sexually assaulted in a basement full of men. i was an adult for those experiences. can’t even imagine being 6. i have more cop trauma, but this is long enough lol
The mom is entitled, so is the kid. Talking won't fix anything
Hmmmmm A small part of me thinks the the brother was right about the divorce... he needed to say it better but I feel like not taking care of the kids, if theres any truth to the drinking etc. and just not having a good strategy to go after the husband, then honestly crying isn't going to help her, she needs to fight it out.
Oooo I’m finally here kinda early (an hour late )

Can you guys please start reading off the top comments on Reddit, or any platform the story is posted on? I understand it takes up time, but for a lot of stories, I feel it’s an essential piece of information lol. I’ve seen other people comment this as well, on other videos, and it hasn’t gained any traction. Please like this comment, so maybe they’ll see it and consider 🫶🏻
if you like this podcast, two hot takes is another good one, and they read off comments! but i love both so ROW should too! i agree:)
The uncle was definitely the AH mans was not okay with the nephew getting a 2nd serving meanwhile he didn’t buy or even cook the food seems like he has a thing against the nephew that is gradually building up as in “you’re under my roof you eat my food” that type of fked up outdated man of the house mentality
