This is still really great even though I’ve listened to this like five times. Great work!

Approximately as good as the origin show. Less enjoyable than ^carrot^, but absolutely greater than your average podcast!

Need more episodes!

Can’t wait when PJ and Alex get together for an argument about the validity of these podcasts. Also since I’ve been binge watching, wasn’t sure until before: I’m an Alex.

I hope someone has found these by accident and is losing sleep trying to figure out their origin story

Arguments are great wastes, especially when neither side is listening. I relate. Great job.

Not as good as 100% related, but still, pretty good

This was a total waste of 5 minutes. Agree first on your terms, otherwise you are arguing two different points. One guy arguing the traditional definition of related, and the other guy arguing about genetic similarity. Lrn2debate

I’m so grateful that this podcast is giving firm and final answers to important relational questions. I can’t wait for Judge Dad Mark Goldman’s analysis of siblings, blended families, and adoption.

Love this

99% Incredible

I can’t believe how blown my mind was...holy crap. Purely 100% Inspiring.

This is just the type of discussion that people have in college dorm rooms after 1 AM after a night of drinking too much Coca-Cola. Bonus: the F-bomb-to-minute ratio is approximately 0.20

But what if you’re a twin? You’d be 100% related to your twin and only 50% to your father. Or would that 50% be split between the twins, making you only 25% related to your father?

Great start to a new podcast. I can’t wait to hear more arguments between 50% I related people.

A person's only 100% relative is their sibling if they have one. Ruined an otherwise 5 star podcast.

Thank you for this deep dive into this very existential question.

100% related would mean you’re a clone. Right?

What a wonderful premise for a podcast in a world of copycats. Really looking forward to more!!

I have a tattoo of a bear on my nipple. This is because I have two moles above my right nipple, and one day I was admiring my shirtless body and realized they looked like a teddy bear’s eyes, if my nipple was a snout. Three years later, I got a tattoo of the top of a bear’s head, about a half inch above the eyes, with two tattooed ears sitting on the tattooed curve of the bear’s head. There is a speech bubble coming from the bear’s nipple-mouth. It has the text “woah bear” in a serifed font similar to that of a typewriter. The word woah is misspelled. This was 3 years ago. I’m employed now. Because I work in an office where it is required to wear a shirt, I am the only employee who has seen my tattoo. The requirement to wear a shirt has never been stated. I’m glad for that. I’m also glad to have this tattoo.

This framing of relation leaves out those who are adopted, step-parents & children, etc. Are adopted children not related to their adoptive parents? Is relation only defined by blood/genetics?

This is maybe my favorite Gimlet show.

Riddle me this. So if you are 50% related to each of your parents and so is you sibling. Are you and your sibling the same person?

A podcast for the modern citizen. A masterpiece.

You know when you listen to one side of an argument and you think “this is so clear what the right answer is”. Then you listen to the other side and your thought is “wow, I never thought of that, that indeed is a great point”? I’ve had that situation come up many times in my life. This podcast was not one of them. I still loved the courtroom action, though.

My dad liked this podcast but my mom did not; am I still related to my mom?

Mark should adjudicate all future Reply All disagreements.

Only five minutes, this is definitely the best podcast I have ever heard. It should win a Peabody and a Third Coast Award. Also, Tim, you are totally wrong.

Absolutely riveting investigative scientific journalism

Gripping tension to the end

it healed a sore i didn't know i had.

Alex these are brilliant

Even by Judge Goldman’s standards, Alex is right! Even if someone has 1% of your genetics, they are considered a “relative”. Not “a little bit of a relative” or “somewhat a relative”, just a relative. Being related is a black and white characteristic — either you’re related to someone or not. I’m no linguist or geneticist, but I’m still 100% sure that Alex is 100% right. 5 stars for content, 10% stars for incorrect results.

If your adopted then are you 0% related to the people who adopted you?

This podcast completely accomplishes it’s goal of informing the listener what percentage of ‘related’ Alex is to his father, Daddy Judge. Highly recommend to all of my friends. I’ve listened to this 13 times.

Hi Alex! I’m into these tiny podcasts—PJ’s just a hater. PS: You are 100% related!

Yeet!

100% delightful

Have you ever wondered how related you are to people? This podcast attempts to answer that question using the Socratic method and a judge. A wild ride. Looking forward to the next installment!

I’m his podcast actually changed my position on relationships and percentages. Just a little sad I now have to tell my parents I consider myself less related to them on an individual basis.

This podcast has me shook. I've never thought about my relation percentage with my parents.

I’m disappointed that step-parents/children weren’t discussed. It seems that this show could be so much more. If only more effort was given to this show instead of Science Vs, we may be able to get to the bottom of life’s bigger issues.

I embrace the idea that relatedness can be both the binary on-off switch AND the percentage. So it is a semantic difference: same word, two meanings. Related, by one definition, can be a measure of relative relatedness (percentage) and by another definition can refer to absolute relatedness (yes or no).

Judge Mark!

100% Relatable? 100% recommend.

The title seems a little biased

Finally a podcast that answers todays toughest questions!

I’m kinda on Alex’s side on this one, which feels strange.

Hmmmm. Intriguing...

Tim has read it and Alex has not.
