00:02:23 - 00:04:17 | Speaker 7:

Yes, so my dad called me yesterday and he had just gone to a family funeral, a family member that I didn't really know, but that's why I wasn't there. But he was dying laughing about this. And he said at the funeral, he realized that a story his older brother used to tell all the time was actually true. And it was one of those stories that my uncle Mike used to tell people at family gatherings or whatever. My dad grew up knowing, and he was like, I always thought that my brother was a liar. Well, he goes to the funeral and realized he wasn't lying. And the story was this. When my uncle Mike was younger and dating, he went out on a double blind date, okay? He was in the backseat of a car, getting cozy and making out with this girl named Mary Lesnow. And if you live in Allen Park, Lesnow's in the Murphys, big family name, okay? There's lots of them, lots of kids. And she asked Mike what his last name was. And he said, oh, my last name's Murphy. And they're like enjoying their time together again, you know, getting real cozy in this backseat. And she goes, oh, Murphy, I have a lot of family members with that last name, too. It's a, you know, popular last name, obviously. And she goes, my favorite aunt of all time, my aunt Marianne, is a Murphy. And my uncle Mike goes, holy spit, Marianne Murphy is my mom. oh my god they didn't realize that they were cousins wow isn't that crazy now nowadays that probably wouldn't happen with social media and those sorts of things like you on you know you know that but they had no idea that they were related and it was so funny to my dad he said it was the joke of the funeral because my dad and ended up meeting mary the woman in this story my uncle has since passed but he realized that my uncle had been telling the truth about this story

00:04:17 - 00:04:25 | Speaker 3:

all along do you don't you don't think that that still probably happens i bet you there's some people that sometimes don't realize that they've got relations for sure for sure maybe not as much

00:04:25 - 00:04:37 | Speaker 7:

as it did yeah you know years ago right yeah but holy crap could you imagine getting set up on a blind date with somebody that you didn't realize you were related to not just closely related to

00:04:37 - 00:04:58 | Speaker 2:

kissing cousins yeah now i remember one time i went to a wedding and i've said this before i was young like young i don't even i may have been josiah's age 12 years old but potentially younger and i was dancing with a girl you know kind of like you know twerk a little no no no my mom told me that was my cousin i said you couldn't tell me sooner

00:05:00 - 00:05:22 | Speaker 4:

We had a teacher in our school growing up, in our high school. She was the youngest teacher that taught at the school. You know how when a young teacher teaches when you're in high school, and it was an all-guy school? Everybody talks about the young teacher. She was my cousin. For real? I knew she was my cousin, but every guy would sit there and talk, and I didn't want to tell people that we were cousins. It would have been worse.

00:05:22 - 00:05:25 | Speaker 3:

Wait, so did you sit there and go along like, oh, yeah, she's so hot?

00:05:25 - 00:05:59 | Speaker 4:

She actually was really hot. She was really hot. But the funny thing was guys would be like, you know, every guy is like saying dirty things and stuff like that. And you're like, oh my God, it's my cousin. Do I tell him it's my cousin? Do I agree? Yeah. 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-655. I almost gave out the wrong, I gave out the wrong number. 844-665-6548 is the right number. Have you ever accidentally dated like a relative by, listen, in the Chaldean community, they don't accidentally. They actually sometimes, right, Bianca? I'm going to say it's on purpose.

00:05:59 - 00:06:07 | Speaker 1:

This happened to me like literally a month ago. I was like flirting with a guy at a wedding. I found out that he was my second cousin. Hey. That's not happening though.

00:06:08 - 00:06:13 | Speaker 4:

Let me ask you a question because you say second cousin. At what point do you say, you know, all right.

00:06:13 - 00:06:25 | Speaker 1:

Is it seven cousin, eight cousin? Do you have a number? I would say probably third and higher is all green. If there's a chance I'm going to see you at a family event someday, a family reunion, it's a huge number.

00:06:25 - 00:06:34 | Speaker 4:

But in her culture, being Chaldean, they are always going to see each other. That's what I mean. But I'm saying they're always going to, but that's how it ends up. Yeah.

00:06:34 - 00:06:40 | Speaker 1:

My mom said if I'm not married by 25 or whatever, she has my second cousin arranged and ready for me. Second cousin?

00:06:40 - 00:06:41 | Speaker 4:

Is he cute?

00:06:42 - 00:06:43 | Speaker 1:

No, and he's balding.

00:06:43 - 00:06:44 | Speaker 4:

Oh, come on.

00:06:44 - 00:06:44 | Speaker 1:

Already?

00:06:45 - 00:06:45 | Speaker 4:

Bianca.

00:06:46 - 00:06:47 | Speaker 1:

Nothing against the balds.

00:06:47 - 00:06:47 | Speaker 4:

There's nothing wrong with hair.

00:06:48 - 00:06:48 | Speaker 1:

The balds.

00:06:49 - 00:06:52 | Speaker 4:

Hair's okay. You know, hair's sometimes there.

00:06:52 - 00:06:53 | Speaker 1:

Hair transplants in Turkey are a thing.

00:06:53 - 00:07:22 | Speaker 4:

um i uh i want to know though i want to in and i know in a lot of cultures that listen to the show like we've got uh chaldeans albanians we got some indians that are listening to like sometimes this happens but what about like straight on like shannon you know down river isn't that down well down river it's okay too right i'm just kidding what's going on jen how you doing how are you i'm doing good how are you good uh did you ever kiss your cousin uh i did not

00:07:22 - 00:07:45 | Speaker 2:

However, my daughter's best friend in high school dated a boy, found out three months later it was her cousin, broke up with him. Second boy found out three months later she was also her cousin. Oh, my God. My grandma had 14 kids, and there are over 327 grandkids, so it's possible it could happen in my family.

00:07:46 - 00:07:49 | Speaker 4:

Where are we talking? What town are we talking, Jen?

00:07:50 - 00:07:51 | Speaker 2:

00:07:51 - 00:07:55 | Speaker 4:

00:10:00 - 00:10:14 | Speaker 2:

getting ready to pick up the bride and I made sure to go downstairs. So like everything was ready and I wasn't forgetting anything. And I went outside and I saw my mom's first cousin full on making out.

00:10:36 - 00:10:41 | Speaker 7:

Is it okay, though, in Albanian culture to do that?

00:10:42 - 00:10:42 | Speaker 2:
