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 context of the second date update segment?
Pick a song, guys. Text in a request. When you think of subpar music, maybe you picture a certain 12-year-old Jewish boy singing his original song, Reach for the Sky.
I just want you to be quiet so I can hear you when you're little.
I'll tell you, I'm encouraging people to touch a moonbeam. Whatever the hell that means.
I like it.
I can only imagine this song was playing during Jake's first date with Kim, where they bonded over their mutual hatred of the awful playlist coming over the restaurant speakers. Dude, I'm pretty sure I've been to at least two birthday parties where I heard that banger. You gotta put it on Spotify, dog. It's spreading. Yikes.
There were highs and lows for sure, but at the very end of the night, they both agreed to split the bill. Jake ended up getting a kiss, but the problem is now Kim is acting a little distant. Even though she is answering texts, it just doesn't feel like her heart is in it. I think it was a cheek kiss. I mean, it's just important to specify. No, you're right. It sounded like it was a big hangout.
Isn't that right? Am I right on that, Jake? Point where on your body she kissed you. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it was on the cheek. I mean, you know, it's what I would expect. You know what? I think a kiss on the cheek is cute because it's just like, oh, I just don't want to kiss you yet, but, like, you're doing good. You know what I mean? It's like a nice message.
Like, you don't gross me out.
Yeah, yeah. You're doing a good job tonight.

Chapter 3: Who is Jake and what was his date with Kim like?
Okay. Oh, no. That's the normal answer we get now.
Oh, no.

Chapter 4: What common interests did Jake and Kim bond over during their date?
He seems like a really nice guy. Because, you know, we spoke to him, but we're wondering what you thought about the date. I mean, it was like. One of the nicer dates I've been on in a while. That's not what I was expecting you to say. Why are you disgusted by that? I know. It's like, ew, a guy who can take care of a girl? Ew. Why are you saying take care of her?
I mean, she ended up paying for half anyway. I just meant he chose a nice restaurant. Oh, he told you that? That you guys went Dutch at the end? He said you insisted on Venmoing him. Yeah. I mean, that's the problem. What do you mean? What? What? The problem is that you wanted to pay for yourself. And you did? No, no. Like, not that part. Like, that part's fine. Okay.
I'm talking about, like, after the date, I Venmo'd him for my drinks. Okay. Okay. Like, his Venmo history popped up. Oh, yeah. I love looking at people's Venmo history. That's why mine's on private. Yeah, mine's on private, but I see people all the time when I pay them. I'm like, oh. What was on it? It was diabolical. I mean, all of these... These ladies, like Trish, has a kissy face next to it.
And then Brittany has a dress emoji next to it. And then Lisa has a gift box next to it. These are prior transactions that Jake has done, what, giving money? Yeah, these are prior transactions. He's sending these girls money. Oh. I thought you found the only man that was finally getting paid by ladies. Me too. I see. It's the opposite. He's giving out money to a bunch of women. He's not a gigolo.
I think he's a sugar daddy. And we're not exclusive. We just, you know, it was one date. I get it. But I'm not into... You know, like guys just dating multiple people at the same time. Wait, hold on. Are you upset that he's dating other people? Are you upset that you think he's a sugar daddy? Like, I don't know what it is, but in the last month, it's just a ton of women. It's a ton of emojis.
And to me, that makes a ton of red flags. I know, but you're also jumping to a lot of conclusions. Like, what if he's in a fantastic book club with a bunch of ladies? Yeah, that's highly likable. Do you know what I mean?
Or when you have Red Bull businesses, they say to put random ones so that they can't get taxed.
Oh, I didn't think about that.
Because the thing is, it sounds like you never asked him about it, right, Kim? I mean, I didn't have to. It's right there. Well, yeah, but it could be interesting to hear the explanation behind those transactions. I wonder too now. And this is the perfect time to get that explanation because Jake is actually on the other line right now wanting to talk to you.

Chapter 5: How did the date conclude and what were the follow-up interactions?
He's like buying your affection, Kim. It's not my affection. It's a lot of people's affection. Like he said, he's spreading joy. If he's doing it, might as well take advantage. So are you not interested in him romantically? Is this just a business? Well, let's find out because, Kim, we would like to offer to send you and Jake on another date. And if you say yes, we will pay for it.
Do I get to be a sugar daddy then? No. You were against this the entire segment. You can't just change at the last minute. If I can come into the role of power, it may be more. All right. You're behind me and Kim in the payment line. So, Kim, first with you, what do you think about Jake giving him another chance?
I'm going to say yes on the Venmo payment, no on the second date.
Oh, my God. Okay. Okay, that's actually pretty smart business. I didn't know I was dealing with a businesswoman. Bro, are you going to really send it now that you know you don't have a date with her? Sounds like you've met your match, Jake. Yeah, I'm going to send it. I said I would send it. Oh, my God. Wow. Man of his word. Wait, does that mean Jeffrey's getting paid, too? Yeah. And Brooke.
This hat costs $40. Yeah, we'll just keep it like that. Yay! You're a good guy, Jay. He just said yes because you're cheap, Jeffrey. Just made Alexis jealous again. No, again. My brother's name. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You guys, I have some disappointing news.
What's that?
Management says I can't accept payment from listeners just because I got all dolled up for the second date. Wow. Good job. And I thought you looked so good. I really, I thought so, but now apparently I have to return the money and quote unquote show proof that I did.
Oh, wow.
And those pretty boy pants you thought you were going to get paid for. It's hard. This was a rough day. Dude, how did this girl switch so fast? I guess she just wanted to get paid. She didn't want to get. Yeah. I wouldn't say the thing that rhymes with paid. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
