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.

Talking about trauma isn't always great for people. It's not always the best thing. About a third of people who are traumatized as kids feel worse when they talk about it, get very dysregulated.

Chapter 2: How do lasers add humor to the news stories?
You get a probe. You get a probe. You get three probes.
Wow. Darn it. I just had one yesterday.
Good. Don't worry, she's covering all the taxes for it during Laser Stories, the segment where we read weird news stories around the globe just like everyone else does, except we've got a laser, which other bottom busters just don't. This first Laser Story is out of Florida.
All right, Jeff. You know it's going to be good.
The other night, a 39-year-old guy named Adam Peacock was pulled over after witnesses called 911 because he was driving erratically.
Ain't nobody got time for that. What are you doing, Peacock?
You're not supposed to do that. So deputies had him get out of his car, and at first glance, it seemed like he was pretty loaded. Uh-oh. So they had Peacock do a few field sobriety tests, and that's when he said there's a very good reason why he's not able to complete them.
Oh. Hmm.
Apparently, he had a medical condition.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of the Cinnabon holiday wrapping paper?
What is your EFD? Oh, boy. Hyperactive. Hyper... One of those. All right. We do believe you're impaired.
Oh, dang. So close to passing the test.
He did try to go with ADD. Is that what he just tried to go with? Like, I can't focus on the finger that long. It's too hard for me to follow. I'm distracted.
I think he said EFD, though.
But I heard hyperactive in there. I don't know.
There's no H in EFD.
I don't know. I don't know what he was saying.
Whatever happened afterwards, Peacock was arrested.

Chapter 4: How is Eminem involved in trademark disputes?
On suspicion of DUI. And he was told to see his doctor to find out what that acronym actually meant.
That's good.
It's probably a good thing to know.
They should probably print out a little card for him just to hand to people.
I have this. Don't drunk test me. This next laser story is out of Holiday Headquarters. This is an exciting surprise. Cinnabon just introduced a holiday wrapping paper that actually smells like cinnamon rolls.
Oh, wow. This is so smart. Wait, is it edible? Wouldn't that be cool? Anything's edible if you try hard enough.
That's true.
That's true.
point, Jose. Now, it comes in a two-pack with one teal and one pink roll for just $8.99, and each is decorated with Cinnabon-themed icons and even includes 20% off coupons that can be cut out of the paper.

Chapter 5: What unique theme park is Nate Bargatze planning?
That is kind of a ripoff of Slim Shady. Yeah, but it's really funny.
Yeah, a little too close for his comfort. The rapper filed a petition with the U.S. Patent Office asking them to cancel Swim Shady's U.S. trademark. Oh. Because he thinks the name could lead the public to believe that he is associated with the company, which he's not.
Maybe he wants to be if it's cool. Yeah, he should check it out.
But in a surprise move, Swim Shady isn't rolling over.
Oh, really?
The company says, quote, we are a grassroots Australian company that was born to protect people from the harsh outback sun. We will defend our valuable intellectual property.
Okay, they got good lawyers. That's why. They're protecting from the sun because they're shady. Yeah, maybe that's why.
Very, very clever. In other celebrity news, soon Dolly Parton won't be one of the only celebrities with their own theme park. What? The stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze is set to open his very own.
No way.

Chapter 6: How are raccoons evolving in response to humans?
Come on. And she is an icon. I don't know that he's on the same level as Dolly Parton.
I don't even know him. It's probably going to be a theme park with no swearing allowed because he's a clean comedian. He never says curse words on stage.
So popular. So you get on the oh gosh ride.
Yeah. Also, alongside the rides, there will be retail, dining, and even a possible Nate Hotel.
How is there not a comedy club? It would be so awesome if they hired all of the people that work there were struggling comedians. Oh, yeah.
Like, oh, I'm just in town for the weekend working the rides. I had a show. So once that opens, make sure to book your tickets to Nate Land. Let's go to your final laser story out of the Pet Palace. I am not joking when I say this, but researchers believe raccoons may be inching closer to becoming pets.
Oh, yeah! Some people keep them as pets. Yeah, they do. I had a friend who had a pet skunk, for gosh sakes. Really? Yeah. What do you do when it springs? You can take the sack out. You can have it removed. Oh. So it smelled good. Anything can be a pet.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of keeping wild animals as pets?
Okay. I guess that's true. But a study from the University of Arkansas... Of course, it's from the University of Arkansas. They found raccoons are physically changing in response to their interactions with humans. And by physically changing, they mean their faces are evolving to look cuter.
Dude, that's for sure. Have you seen a baby raccoon?
They're so cute.
Good job, raccoon. They're so cute. Just worm your way into our lives so you can eat the scraps right off the table instead of when they're in the garbage can.
Plus, they're dumpster diving less and becoming less disease-ridden.
Oh, well, good job.
That's a big sell.
Good for them. I think there's part of the human population that could probably benefit from that.
One researcher says once wild animals start spending time in the proximity of people, they become a little less afraid and perhaps even start showing physical signs of domestication. And raccoons aren't the only animals that this is happening to.
