Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 21.056 Dr. Laurie Santos

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 4: How do voicemails from the Loser Line provide entertainment?

113.363 - 130.082 Unknown

When you're high, you feel different. You think different, you talk different, you draw different, you listen to music different, but you probably knew that. Problem is, you also drive different, and not in a good way. That's why driving high is illegal everywhere.

Chapter 5: What unique dating scenarios are presented in the voicemails?

130.542 - 145.264 Unknown

So if you're high, just don't drive. Make a plan to get a sober ride. Because if you feel different, you drive different. Brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council. And she said, Johnny, the kids didn't come home last night.

145.765 - 161.086 Dr. Priyanka Wally

Along the central Texas plains, teens are dying. Suicides that don't make sense. Strange accidents and brutal murders. In what seems to be a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad.

Chapter 6: How does age difference play a role in dating dynamics?

161.567 - 167.856 Unknown

Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people. There are people out there that absolutely know what happened.

0

167.836 - 187.964 Dr. Priyanka Wally

Listen to Paper Ghosts, The Texas Teen Murders on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey girl, what's up with you? Wait a minute, is this the right number? It's, um, the loser line. Come on, just call me back. If you haven't heard the loser line before, it works like this.

188.305 - 192.632 Dr. Priyanka Wally

Let's say someone approaches you while you're out at the club and uses this charming pickup line on you.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of using the Loser Line in real-life situations?

193.714 - 207.895 Dr. Priyanka Wally

Hey, sweetums. You know, your pretty smile would look real good on my nightstand. I know because that's where I keep mine. Your chomper's there. That's so funny.

0

Chapter 8: What humorous insights do the hosts provide about the voicemails?

208.015 - 220.329 Dr. Priyanka Wally

Whatever you do, resist the urge to squeeze his compression socks so there's not enough blood flow to his legs. No, not fair. Instead, tell him that there's a nice plastic cup of Jell-O with both your names on it.

220.349 - 222.432 Radhida Vlukia

I can't believe that guy is always at the clubs.

0

222.672 - 235.147 Dr. Priyanka Wally

He gets out there. You're down to spoon it with him at 3 o'clock dinner tomorrow. And that's when you slide him a number to the loser line. So hopefully he calls and leaves an awkward voicemail that we could play on the air. Voicemails like this one.

235.307 - 236.048 Unknown

Next message.

236.929 - 262.3 Dr. Priyanka Wally

Beep, beep. Hey, the guy from the bus stop. Did I hear someone hit the button? Ding, ding, all aboard. Do you remember me? I was telling you what our favorite cloud shapes meant about our personalities. Right? Remember that? Ding, ding! Whatever, anyways. Beep, beep!

263.061 - 282.85 Dr. Priyanka Wally

Anyway, I'd love to finish up our conversation about destiny and weather patterns or, you know, all the other stuff we were talking about, so call me back when the universe feels right. Ding, ding! I gotta ride the bus more, if that's the type of people you mean. I'm gonna tell you, the sound effects on the bus are not that aggressive.

282.87 - 286.575 Dr. Priyanka Wally

I was gonna say, I haven't been on a bus in a minute, but I don't think that's what it sounds like. No, it's a real light.

286.976 - 287.196

Ding, ding!

287.581 - 320.331 Unknown

that guy's like on a trolley he's riding a bus in the 1920s next message you know i don't normally talk to men that much younger than myself but i thought we had a little connection i don't know i'm guessing maybe you're 20 25 years younger than me i'm just guessing And I really enjoyed you showing me that electronic vapor thing. That was really cool. I would have never got to use one before.
