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.

Chapter 2: How does humor play a role in missed connections?
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. Listen to A Really Good Cry on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The social media trend is landing some Gen Zers in jail. The progressive media darling whose public meltdown got her fired. And the massive TikTok boycott against Target that actually makes no sense. You won't hear about these online stories in the mainstream media.
But you can keep up with them and all the other entertaining and outrageous things happening online, in media, and in politics with the Brad vs. Everyone podcast. Listen to the Brad vs. Everyone podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, cutie.
We need eye contact. Missed connections.
That was me staring.
There's only two places to find true love in this world. One is in the mandatory CPR class, when you feel the practice dummy give you a little tongue action. What? Huh. I didn't think that was going to happen. Why was the breath coming into my mouth? The other is on the pages of Craigslist.org. We scour that website every week to find the best missed connections that they have to offer.
Like this first one titled, I'd split my copay with you. Woman for man, 41, doctor's office.
There it is.

Chapter 3: What unique scenarios do people find love in?
She says, we met in my therapist's waiting room. You looked like you'd been there for a while with your feet up on the couch under a blanket and a pillow behind your head.
What? He's napping in the... I mean... Does he live there? I don't know.
That's when you told me you show up early because you have a fear of missing appointments. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Everybody's got their thing. When you asked why I was in therapy, I hesitated, and I told you to better myself.
Oh, that's nice. Who asks that? I mean, if you're sleeping in the lobby of a therapist's office, I think you're going to ask.
What I didn't say was that my sessions were technically court ordered. Whoops. You'll find out why later.
And it doesn't matter how you got to therapy, right? Once you're there, is it that kind of how we do it?
Yeah, give her some credit. At one point, I thought I caught you staring at my low-cut top. Did I see that? I specifically like to wear them for Dr. Lazard, because, you know. At one point, I heard your stomach grumble. That's why I offered you some of my emotional support granola that I keep in my purse. You took it, but how is it that when you handed it back to me, it doubled in size?

Chapter 4: How do people express their feelings in missed connections?
Did you add extra granola to it?
Maybe he has his own pocket support granola.
You may be crazier than me, and I like that.
I don't think we use the word crazy in a therapist's office.
I was finally called in, and when my session was over, you had left the waiting room. What? But now that I think about it, it's possible you were hiding in the children's book nook. Hopefully that's not because of me. If you see this, stop being such a baby and ask Dr. Lazard for my number. I left him a message that HIPAA compliance rules don't apply to you.
That's from Fran. Sounds like Fran wants his whole chart. Sounds like that therapist needs a raise.
This next misconnection is titled Bones, Butterflies, and You. Man for Woman, 29, Cemetery. To the woman in the cemetery that I bumped into while playing Pokemon Go, sorry for disturbing your uncle's wake. I was trying to be respectful and tiptoe around the minster, but a few people said something, and that made me feel crunchy.
you know it's nice to have a distraction during a funeral yeah you're right he says i legit thought everyone was praying and didn't see me so i guess it's my bad yeah why aren't your heads bowed anyway i need to come clean and say yes i was there for pokemon gotta catch them all yeah but my mission changed when i saw you oh Long dark hair, black dress, black hat.
I kept thinking of ways to bring up conversation, and that's when I asked you how long your cousin's speech was gonna take. kind of rambling on, don't you think? Between you and me, she seems like a gal that could sob for hours. Do those tears run in the family? JK, kinda. I hope not.

Chapter 5: What are some memorable lines from Craigslist missed connections?
You seem a lot more chill than her. And cuter, too. You're killing it, bro. You know it's a compliment a lady.
I guess.
When people were making their way out to the parking lot, I took you aside and explained what happened. I felt like you were understanding of the predicament I was in, even considering I was wearing a Hulk Hogan t-shirt and a bright orange bandana with matching wristbands.
Oh, no, that is so cringe. He's dressed for the Pokemon battle he's about to partake in.
Going into war. That was a couple days ago. You have my number, but you're not texting me. If you see this, maybe we could reconnect over lunch at the gravesite. It'll be nice to remember your uncle. Plus, I think there's a Charizard there that I missed. Win-win. That's signed, Evan.
Oh, wow. God. So much romance at funerals.
Yeah. Oh, man. Sometimes love bumps right into you. You don't even realize it. This next misconnection is titled, Signal was strong between us.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts react to the missed connections shared?
Oh. Maybe too strong. Uh-oh. Okay. Woman for man, 35 cell phone store. Okay. You were working the afternoon shift last Tuesday at the T-Mobile in the mall. I was looking to add one of my five kids onto my family plan. Okay. And you, slim shady looking mother****er, snatched my eye.
I can picture him though, can't you guys?
You, tall magenta t-shirt, and if I had to describe your vibe, I would say you have future baby daddy energy.
Feels like everybody would that dated her. I feel like that's a good compliment.
You don't know this about me, but there's nothing sexier than a man who will not avoid paying child support. You look like a good dad. It's an awesome compliment. I'm sorry. I love this.
I like how that she is already planning on not being with him, though. That's the only time you pay child support.
When you were helping, I was watching you type, and that's when I told you you have great forearms for a man that looks like he previously worked at Geek Squad. Dang! That's kind of a roast. Pretty sure that made you blush.

Chapter 7: What insights can we gain from these missed connections?
Oh. That whole convo happened a couple days ago, and I still haven't heard from you, which surprises me, since I gave you a pretty easy way to find my number. All I did was put my digits into ten different phones around the store.
Oh, wow.
Surprise! Seriously, though, if I don't hear from you by Monday, I am coming down there as soon as you open Tuesday morning. And I am bringing all of my kids so that they can meet their new future stepdad. She believes. Yeah, there it is.
All right, kids. Gather around. It's time to meet daddy.
That's signed Prentice.
All right. I think they're going to make it.
I think they all are. That was a great edition of Craigslist Missed Connections. We're going to do your phone tap coming up. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
