I was gifted a membership at the end of the last one and didn’t even realize it until the next day! Thank you King Frederick!

Hi) cant make it to live streams, because of time difference, but wanted to tell you, that you have a little fan in Ukraine) my daughter is two months old and loves to listen to your voices, especially while eating) so thanks for making feeding her easier for me 😁

Yea as a woman, it’s divorce. Op says she’s a fighter and she needs a fighter with her and I felt that. I need someone reliable by my side. Those parents are grateful she’s a fighter bc those kids didn’t stand a chance on their own and he freaking bailed on BABIES. He abandoned his wife in her time of need. That’s a guillotine. Killing it.

4:15 I REMEMBER DOING THAT, TOO!!! The cops, the fingerprints, all of it. We did ours at a neighboring school tho - I do think it was for in case we were kidnapped. Might ask mom later lol Our school had "the trailers" that were meant to be temp, but we kept them for like 20 years 💀

Coffee doesn't work with most ADHD people

Caffeine has a tendency to “not work” on us ADHD peeps 😁

Not fighting to protect his wife and those kids from the dog is such a cowardly move, to be honest. Fight or flight be damned. I'm a lesbian - I once attacked a car in a parking lot because the driver drove over my wife's foot and tried to speed away, but it was blocked by another car and I ended up catching up and slamming my fist against the window, yelling at the woman to get out. She reversed and tried to run me over, so I had to jump out of the way. We called the police, but seeing as it's South Africa, we were told that there were no reaction vehicles available and that we would have to wait at least 2 days for a response. Seriously though, that guy is such a craven - I would fight my fists to the bone to protect the woman I love, even putting myself in danger for the sake of her safety.

They’re always saying John is old and it turns out he’s 3 years younger than me 😭

Starts at 1:06 ! The dating cousins: I'm getting Rudy Gulliani vibes 😅 Also John, Sophia, and Riley all missed the fact that the Mom probably knew due to the OP's birthday. r/whoosh I have 3 grandma's and 2 grandpa's, all from my mom's side of the family. I love all of them soooo much. They are perfectly flawed and are my world. I love them all. I would not be who I am if it wasn't for my extended family.

angela connolly you win the chat this time 😂😭😭 “when they ‘women and children first’ it’s not to the eaten by a dog ffs” 🤦‍♀️💀 peeped the comment while i was watching and i am deceased 😂

Rewatch gang! Riley asking chatgpt if there's gonna be tsunami or not is peak gen z behavior (i was born in 1999 but had lived like a millennial)

1:13:10 not the asshole! She hasn’t just raised little Joe for the past 6 years but she LEGALLY ADOPTED HIM. In the eyes of the law, on paper and in every aspect she’s is Joe’s Mom in every way minus biologically.

Lots of schools had modular units for classes when they needed more rooms. Most children in kindergarten were fingerprinted and taught stranger danger. Most children of the 80s and 90s, that's a core memory.

28:39 there’s a camp in my small town in SW Michigan! Every time we drove past them as kids, my dad would always stop and tell us the history of those houses and the fields. He remembered from his childhood when the fence was taken down.

Since all talked about their weather and heat: Yesterday (here) where 90F, or 33C, but Like in UK: we have no installed cooling systems, but i bought myself (years ago) a fan.

John get a blood test if it's lasting for 3 weeks to month Try vitamins B3 B12 and Vitamin D and Iron at night after your last meal so it's in your system for longer . See if that helps your fatigue and the yawning.

Brooo the brain fog is a struggle. I have grave’s disease which is a thyroid condition, and my thyroid works too much basically. Since I began treatment I realized what a blurry world I’ve lived in because of the brain fog. I truly hope you’re not dealing with anything remotely like this, dude.

Anxiety and panic is a natural human response to stressful and dangerous situations. It is more unusually to nonchalantly go put a fire without panicking. Just sounds like op wants to date his sister

1:33:25 My daughter was playing with my baby niece in the garage while my brother was downstairs. He heard a noise…the neighbor’s chihuahua was attacked by a Pitt bull. My brother tried to help and literally was holding the dogs organs while placing him in a box for our neighbor to bring him to the vet…he didn’t make it sadly… The only lucky thing is it was right on the corner of our garage so my daughter did not have to witness it… 😢

"A Shark" 😭😭😭😂😂😂

The dog story - I feel like an adult you are responsible to work on your fears and phobias to an extend, that you can function in an emergency and don't risk your and others life.

I love listening to you guys while I work 😁

2:54:47 LMAO Riley’s face when the big reveal happens for a story 😂

Hi John! Please consider getting some bloodwork done. My mom was recently feeling similar and found out her blood volume was so low it was considered fatal. Thankfully she got checked just in time but she needed a blood transfusion and was in the hospital for 4 days. Now she needs lifelong B12 injections. You can never take your health too seriously. And my mom is young so it’s not like it’s an “older person thing”. Just about anything that can happen in your 50s can happen in your 20s. It’s better to be safe than sorry! Take care of yourself and don’t diminish/downplay symptoms ❤

Schools did that passport ID for minors for parents to use if a child was lost / kidnapped to present to LEO/ agency with a recent photo/ finger print height / weight / age. It was a great service for safety!

I think Riley should call his family on the pod to work out why and what happened when they took his prints at 5

“riley says that a lot” “QUIT DOXXING ME”

For the first story they were likely in British Columbia not LA. The dad lives on the west coast of Canada and being that their son was francophone was likely raised in Quebec (though there are french speakers elsewhere). BC had the Japanese internment camps and has a Japanese cultural museum. Search Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Center. You can take boats rather easily from BC to some of the western states.

For the OP meets bio dad, it was Portland, Oregon. I used to live there and everything you read about the city they visited was in Portland. Museum, great food, awesome areas around the city itself.

The saying is "All good things come to an end" I can't find if there is any more to it before or after, but that, I believe is what you were looking for.

Back when I was young in Australia we had a thing call identa Kid cards with name photo and fingerprints, it was because there was a string of child abduction

When my Mom was 15 or 16 she got pregnant with my oldest sister. Unfortunately parts of her story our similar to this first story and she was told by her parents she could either have an abortion or she could put the baby up for adoption. When my oldest sister was a few days old her adopted parents came from out of state to pick her up. It was a closed adoption but my Mom spent her life trying to find my sister. Some years later she met and married my Dad and they first had 2 sons but unfortunately one of my older brothers passed away 6 days before his first birthday from an undiagnosed at the time heart condition. My parents had to fight everyone possible just to get an autopsy to see why my brother passed away. They wanted to be lazy and just say that SID’s killed him but my parents weren’t letting it go. Eventually and we reluctantly they did one and found some kind of heart issue. I only know basic details because unfortunately my Mom passed away when I was still a kid and I also always wasn’t sure how to bring up so much devastating situations without causing pain but I wish I would have asked atleast one of them more more details. Eventually after spending lots of time, money and who knows what else my parents had to do but eventually with a lot of my Dads help my Mom finally found our oldest sister. They started their relationship slowly and Mom waited to tell us until she knew that our sister was ready to meet everyone. I got to meet her I think when I was like 12 years old. Unfortunately she’s lived out of state our whole lives but we try and see each other atleast once or twice a year. The weirdest part is out of myself and all of my siblings she’s the one that most reminds all of us of our Mom. I mean she says I reminder most of Mom and I have ALOT of similar personality traits and our littlest sister looks a lot like her. But our oldest sister is literally both. She looks like Mom and she parents like her , they life the same the similarity are fucking bananas. It’s like still having a piece of our Mom here but it’s weird cause she was in her mid twenties when she met Mom. Mom passed away about 5 years after we met our oldest sister in person so it blows my mind. The other weird thing. My sister has another adoptive sister that her adoptive parents also adopted. She’s older than my sister but they literally look related and she looks like my Mom the only thing is they are way taller than Mom was. Shits crazy 🤪

2:31:09 …She’s so lucky he left and she’s so young. This dude is a baby narcissist. Making her cook and clean up after every day even though she’s been working and at class for nearly 16 hours of the day. Then, when she took the bunnies cuz she didn’t trust him to care for them means she already knew she can’t rely on him because he doesn’t contribute to the household labor. At the end, when he told her all that heinous crap, it was meant to hurt her and make her beg for forgiveness putting the control back in his hands. When she didn’t fold he realized he lost and cut ties. He doesn’t feel guilty. She is not attractive to him now because he can’t control her. She should take a deep breath, deep clean her house, and have a sleepover with her girls.

Riley!!! Go to Romania -- the food is great!!

Love u guys + Thanks for all those who gifted this currently unemployed follower membership. I’ll get u all bk ! Xoxo

Guys I graduate next week! Thank you for being my study buddies🥲🌹🫶🏽

Summer birthday gang!

She saved those poor kids while her man ran away

Japanese American museum sounds like LA. The Little Tokyo area . I took my kids when they had an anime exhibit a few years back . Very nice information museum .

August Rush is one of my favorite movies ❤ it might be slow in comparison to movies today (and my attention span) but almost a classic at this point

Omg I just noticed the live I’m exciteddd

The duel citizen wife with the picky man-child of a husband. I swear he really just wants a mommy. I feel like this is way too common.

Not watching live, but to the question of why cheaters act worse I think it’s their way of making the relationship end without confessing that they’re cheating/want to be with someone else so they look like less of the hole than they already are…

That Covid fog is real dude

The first story, I'm guessing they are French Canadian from Quebec (it's no longer difficult to find your biological parents here), but yes, we say Francophone from French speakers and Anglophone for English speakers. Now we have the social services that keeps information to parents and the children, up until recently, the parents could decide they did not want to be found, but now they can't. So once the child decides to look for his/her biological parents, they go to the social services and they will look at that child's file and contact the parents for them and let them know that their bio child is looking for them. (I'm in the process of adopting in Quebec, so we learn all this lol). Thing to know about French Quebec, up until a few decades ago this province was VERY Catholic, now most (French) Quebeckers are atheist or catholic, but do not practice it, so having children before being married was really bad. I actually know someone closer to my parents age that her mother was forced to put her up for adoption and years later they found each other on a TV show! Her mother had always tried to find her!

Love is blind and knows no bounds until you sleep with your cousin

2:13:50 I think breaking up with her would be a dick move. What if she has a phobia of fires, like it’s her worst fears. Some people are absolutely terrified of getting in a car accident, so when it happens, their fear is uncontrollable. Any other emergency she could handle easily, just this one is the one that made her panic.

I'm a decade older than y'all and there used to be a thing called ident-a-kid. I'm guessing what Riley got was similar to that. Yes, for safety and kidnapping reasons

She's a 10, but she is your first cousin...

I need a sophia, im petrified of spiders. If they are inside i dont mind if they get killed or just taken outside, i just want them out of my place. I cant do it myself cause im too scared 😫

Okay so the cousins thing right. Look, one of my uncles married his first cousin, THEY KNEW. They're still together, out of my uncles siblings they are the only ones that haven't divorced and are happy together. Only downside is they do have 3 kids and they have health issues but are otherwise normal. Since these two didn't know they were related first, honestly if they don't have kids I don't see the issue.

😢😢 I graduated in '96 😩😫

As a Romanian I feel deeply offended :)) Never have I met a foreigner that didn't enjoy Romanian food. And if you don't like it there's a tone of fast food options or "regular" food at basically every restaurant. Also as an introvert, never have I hated somethin in school more than having to give candy around to every god damn classmate :)))

I am terrified of dogs. I've ben bitten 3 times, once on my cheek, and chased by dogs. To the point even small fluffy dogs scare me. I'm not judging anyone from running away from dogs :))

1:28:00 oh my goodness i almost died when getting my wisdom teeth taken out when i was 14 as well 😢

I can’t believe I missed this 😔

2nd story- they werent raised together as cousins. if they never planned to have kids it would be weird but they werent ‘cousins’? i guess cause now he gets to know his bio family??? idunno

Old man John might want to try some ginkgo biloba for his brain fog. ❤😂

Tell John to try Shilajit... who knows maybe it will help...

Love when family manages to connect in a happy way like that🥹 I finally found my older half brother a couple years ago & met him and my sister in law. They’re fantastic people & I love that I now have ALL of my siblings in my life . The best feeling 🩷

15:35 I wasnt there but yes it does mean someone who speaks french! But it is used more in canada like sophia said.

Noooo 😭 my phone died at the end of Wheel of Fortune and I missed the end

He could've took the kids with him and ran

2:09:49 is Sofia wearing a strawberry shortcake shirt? 😊

Someone needs to get Riley off red pill Tik Tok

Ugh first cousin marriage is acceptable/the norm in much of the world. First cousins can have children without fear. The chance of genetic problems increases a very small amount...like 1% for non-cousins to 2% if first cousins. It ONLY becomes a problem if the family has a history/tradition of first marriage cousins. Meaning if the "kissing cousins" are also themselves the product cousin marriage then genetic concerns go up...

There are plenty if things that I would run from if I was by myself, basically everything. 😂 But when you're with a child, it's just different. It's almost Luke you don't fully feel your fear until you've dealt with the threat. Then you can get you and whoever else you need to safety and break down. Lol I'm not even a mom, but things have happened with my nephew or goddaughters, and you just do it. It's still terrifying, but it'd be more terrifying to let someone I love get hurt.

I don't get what is the big deal with marrying your cousin? It's not illegal, you could always adopt to be completely safe when it comes to kids and possible birth defects. So really - why? I don't get it. Even the stories with married couples that find out they are siblings and break up because of it... I don't get it! If they grew up as siblings it's weird and probably not a healthy emotional situation. But if they met as adults? Who cares! Get a vasectomy to be absolutely sure not to get a kid together and live a happy life. The whole taboo is to avoid messing up the gen pool, but we don't live in the middle ages and can make sure that kids won't happen. That's still an issue with probable emotional abuse and grooming if siblings grow up together, but again - consenting adults should be allowed to love whoever they want It's actually fascinating how ingrained the taboo seems to be in most humans. Animals don't care at all.

The second story they didn't know they where cousin's when they got together. They fell in love. i don't think there is anything wrong with what he did to me he sounds like he saved her from another guy because that guy sounded like an AH. And you can't expect someone just to fall out of love with someone they have been in love with for so long. So OP no AH, in my opinion. That other guy needs to know his line.

WAIT! What happened to THE INTERN??!! Some of us only watch on KZfaq. If this was discussed on Discord or something I didn't see it! He seemed like a good addition!

I'm not gonna lie to you all, but I still have no idea what SOUND OFF means lol

Its cause your still recovering from vid the brain fog last a bit after I had it around the same time

Hey hey

❤

Oh my goodness John I'm very upset you have never watched game of thrones and you're not watching house of the dragon oh noooo

Maybe the husband was looking for help or the dog owner . When your stress you don’t always act and close the dor by inadvertance. Happy no nobody was severely injured. I I really think the way you react it is really selfish being like you don’t ever constantly the way your husband was feeling. You save the children, But the fact that you say that you don’t want children or that he accept to taking care of that she doesn’t change anything of that situation. I think they were a problem before and you put that situation to act like it was the biggest problem. You never prepared of that kind of act in life yes it sucks, but do you think his intention was to be a bad person and make you hurt?

Family isn't family you have to earn the title so just because I found out that they were cousins doesn't necessarily mean that automatically is it they get that family role and it said and done especially because they had a previous relationship before that knowledge came out. It takes repeated long generational insects for those problems to be formed in genetically in children. In this particular situation I don't think it would have been bad because they literally grew up in two different families. However had they knowingly gotten together and being related like that in that sense of incest I don't condone. But I think that the rest of that family is incredibly disgusting in my opinion because to judge him like that knowing what the situation was yes they may consider him like oh he's been family all along however he has not. And because they have inside jokes like that to then treat him that way makes me think that they are the assholes cuz then they call him discussing and they throw him out and all this he's coming out of a place of hurt when he said those comments he shouldn't have said them however it was and I believe subconsciously just being reactive and defensive but the other guy he maliciously purposely made those derogatory comments about the family and her and him in general that it is discussing cuz he consciously chose to say those words and to be a piece of s***so judgemental an incredibly hypocritical and I hate hypocrites. I feel bad for op

But Romanian food is tasty😅 I think you would have liked it. Unless you are vegan...
