Dr. Laurie Santos from the Happiness Lab here. It's the season of giving, and this year my podcast, The Happiness Lab, is partnering with GiveDirectly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the cash they need as part of the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. Our goal this year is to raise $1 million, which will bring over 700 families out of extreme poverty. Your donation will put cash directly in the hands of these families in need. And they'll get to decide how to use it, whether that's school transportation, purchasing livestock, or starting a business. Plus, if you're a first-time donor, your gift will be matched by giving multiplier, which means more money for those in need. Visit givedirectly.org slash happiness lab to learn more and to donate.

I didn't really have an interest in being on air. I kind of was up there to just try and infiltrate the building.

It's the radio segment that's going green this Thanksgiving, encouraging you not to throw out your old turkey carcass. Instead, watch a quick YouTube video on how to turn that bird into a cat house for your feline friend.
Most people go with a turkey stalk, but okay.
Made of bone. That's right. It's green, and it's laser stories. The segment where we read weird news stories from around the globe, just like everyone else does, except we've got a laser. Those other gobble gazebos just don't. This first laser story is out of Youngstown, Ohio. Oh, great. A 32-year-old man named Jermaine Young went to a Denny's recently and asked his server about the law enforcement discount. He flashed a detective badge and got his bill reduced. Interesting. I used to work at Denny's. I don't remember that. That must be a new thing. Or maybe it's new, yeah. It hasn't worked in a long time. Then he left two 20s on the table and walked out. That's great. The employees later discovered that the bills Jermaine left were counterfeit.
