Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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: What is the unique dating strategy our listener is trying at 30?
That's a compliment, right? Thank you. So how long has it been since you and Damon hung out? Oh, my God. It's been, like, a week and a half, and I haven't heard from him. Okay. Like, you've texted, you've called, or? I don't really double text, but I did text, and I did do a call, and, like, that's plenty, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, don't do any more.
That's the problem is some people don't get that hint, and then they keep going. What you need to do is have a radio station call him. Yes. What if he's doing a 30 for 30, and he's only on number 17, and that's why? That would be amazing. Oh, my God. That would be the pits. Wait, screw him. Like, that's not even it. You guys can do double dates side by side. Yeah.
Well, we'll try to figure out what's going on with Damon when we come back, call him, and hopefully get some answers on your 30 for 30 second date update. Hey. 30 dates with 30 men on your 30th birthday. Before your 30th. 30th year. We got it. That doesn't sound as sexy. No. No, you can't do it all in one day. But they get it. You understand what we're doing. Second date update right after this.
Hold on.
Second date update.
Welcome back to a special second date update 30 for 30 edition. And what is 30 for 30? Yes. It's a little dating challenge our listener Angela gave herself when she turned 30 years old where she decided I'm going to go out on 30 dates with 30 different men before she turns 31. Yeah, because she wants to be in a relationship. The goal is not to just do this, but it's also to find someone.
Yeah, and also a little brag, too.
It's kind of fun.
The thing is, she hasn't even reached 30 guys yet. She stopped at 19 after she met Damon. who has turned out to be everything she was looking for. In fact, she sounds fully ready to go all in on him if she could just get him to answer her damn calls. So we're going to step in and try and make that happen. Now, Angela, do you have a guy number 20 lined up just in case?

Chapter 3: How does Angela define her '30 for 30' dating challenge?
Well, I think we're all in agreement, though, that if we get him on the phone, we're not bringing up the 30 for 30 challenge to him unless he already knows about it. Right, unless he saw her Instagram or something. We just go by number 19. Yeah, sure. It's your business, Angela. If you want to bring it up to him, that's your decision. We're not going to say anything.
But let's just call his number. We'll see if he picks up. And here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Damon? Yeah, it is. Who's this? Hey, man, this is a radio show, actually, called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hi, Damon. Hey. Hey, good morning. Sounds like we caught you. Maybe you're busy right now or something. I mean... It's not that I'm busy.
I just don't know why the radio station is calling me. Oh, that's funny because we know you. At least we've heard about you. Don't rape him out. Well, not in a creepy way, in a good way. We've heard a lot about you. I don't think that's how I said it. Okay, you're right. We've heard glowing reviews about you from one of our friends, a listener to our show, a woman named Angela.
Oh, the girl I went out with? That Angela? Yeah, because what we're doing here, it's called the Second Date Update, and we're just trying to help out Angela. She feels like after your hangout, you've been blowing her off a little bit. Yeah, I've been... Oh, okay. That's all on purpose. That sounds like something wrong.
Well, that's really interesting to hear because when we delved into your date, she couldn't figure out anything that went wrong that night. Yeah, it was great. Sounds like from the way you're talking, it should be obvious. Uh-huh. Well, I feel more taken advantage of than... Oh, really? And not in the good way, like the bad way. Yeah, I feel violated in my pocket. Your pocket?
Wait, she said that you paid for dinner. Is that what you mean? Yeah, I paid $200. She doesn't tell y'all that? Yeah. She mentioned it. She said $200, but she made it seem like that was totally agreeable and that you were happy to offer that. Um, that's totally not true. I mean, I was actually kind of coerced into it. Coerced? Yeah, like she does videos. She records videos. Videos of what?
Oh, she's like an influencer? Like on the date she was recording videos? She was doing full reviews. That's why she ordered $200. It wasn't that we were caught up having a great time. Oh my. Oh, so wait, she, like, ordered one of everything on the menu so she could try it? Yeah, and I mean, it's like the whole menu and not the happy hour menu. It was... Oh, my God.
And then, I mean, the weird part is you're at dinner and then... They're just on their phone recording. Like, did she even talk to you? No, she told me to kind of be quiet so I don't interrupt.
Oh.

Chapter 4: What are some highlights and lowlights from Angela's dating experiences?
Damon, talk to Angela here. Hi.
hey yeah whatever you kind of faking the funk right now you know that you had your phone out the whole time we really didn't connect on anything and you didn't even eat all the food it was just like you ordered the most expensive dish to take one bite and move on to the next dish oh my gosh like i know i had my phone out but it wasn't a food review and honestly dan we had like It was $200.
You had an appetizer. I had an appetizer. You had an entree. I had an entree. No, no, no, no. Wait. Slow down. You had all of that alone yourself. And I remember because I was the cameraman. Remember? You told me on the phone. I know. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. I feel really crappy about that part, but I'm going to tell you it wasn't a food review. Angela, you got to explain.
Why were you making him film you while eating the food? It wasn't for a food review. Like, honestly, I like you. And the reason why you're on the show today is because I turned 30, as you know, earlier this year. And I just made a personal goal to go out on 30 dates for my 30th year of life. And I wanted to do a video for Instagram. And you're number 19. Okay, Damon, that's what's going on.
You're number 19. And I don't want to go on the 20th, though. I don't like I'm trying to tell you I like you. I don't want to go on the 20th. I like you a lot. And that's what the video was about. It wasn't like trying to order a bunch of food. It was just doing my own little shit.
So what happened to the other 18 dudes?
The other 18 are wherever they are. I didn't go out on a second date with them. I didn't like them. I wasn't interested. And now this is where it stops. So none of it was actually about reviewing the food. It was just kind of B-roll content to talk about the date. If that's the case, why wasn't I in the video at all? I was just filming you eating. Because I respect your privacy.
Like, I wasn't going to put you on blast like that. I am curious, Angela, did the other 18 dudes all have to pay for your meals too and film you eating also?
Great question.

Chapter 5: What happened during Angela's date with Damon?
And she didn't even want to tell you about it because she knew that it probably wouldn't feel good.
That's true.
She did say that. Like, it'd be weird. In fact, she rated you a 19 out of 19, which is the highest rating you can have. Yeah. Up to 20, you know. If we went out again, there would be, like, no phone. Like, I wouldn't do any of it. I mean, that was literally just some social stuff, Damon. Like, it's not anything like that. Like, I'm just trying to.
All right, enough.
Okay, I like this. Damon's taking charge. What do you need to say? If we go out again, no phone. How about this? We go out again, you spend $200 on me. Okay.
Wow.
There's a challenge for you. I like that, too. That's a challenge. How about you end your challenge on that? Okay. So it's a yes from Damon. Now it's up to Angela. Will you accept his terms and conditions? No, I don't like his energy now. What? What? Angela, you got to be kidding me. Dude, Angela, we worked so hard for you. You better pay for that date.
No, I'm not.
Like, I don't, like, first of all, like, just slow down. I didn't make you pay for anything. Oh. Oh, yeah. But this whole, this whole ad, it's like, that energy is not going to work for me. Like, you say, okay, why don't we make it, like, be a little more polite about it. Like, he's been, I don't do, I didn't know you was gangsta. Oh, God. That was ridiculous. He's matching your challenge.
