Chapter 1: What charitable initiative is highlighted in this episode?

0.031 - 14.748 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.

Chapter 2: How does the podcast aim to address poverty this season?

15.389 - 31.71 Dr. Laurie Santos

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. That's givedirectly.org slash happiness lab.

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.

102.548 - 107.055 Radhi Devlukia

Listen to A Really Good Cry on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

107.035 - 111.04 Hari Kondabolu

On the podcast Health Stuff, we are tackling all the health questions that keep you up at night.

111.301 - 114.305 Dr. Priyanka Wally

I'm Dr. Priyanka Wally, a double board certified physician.

114.445 - 124.859 Hari Kondabolu

And I'm Hari Kundabolu, a comedian and someone who once Googled, do I have scurvy at 3 a.m.? And on our show, we're talking about health in a different way, like our episode where we look at diabetes.

Chapter 3: What unique questions are posed about masculinity and healing?

203.735 - 226.667 Mike Della Rocha

I don't know which ones those are, but these are all real trees that come in an array of colors, including pink, purple, blue, turquoise, magenta, red, and black. So what's so controversial about that tree? It's probably just that they're real trees. Like, why buy a real tree if you want one that's pink? I could see someone wanting a pink tree if it's their favorite color. That's not what it is.

Apparently, some holiday humbugs are worried about bringing, quote, hazardous chemicals into their homes. I was going to say, it does look like it's heavily chemically. Because, I guess, the tree farm uses some kind of toxic latex-based paint in order to coat them. Which, okay, sure, doesn't sound great. But that's what we paint our walls with is latex. Thank you.

250.976 - 269.022 Mike Della Rocha

I mean, honestly, latex paint is basically plastic. And the tree farm put out this reassuring statement saying, we believe the product is safe. See, they believe it. You just have to believe it, too. And try not to inhale too deeply when you put your presence underneath.

269.002 - 269.923 Brooke

There you go.

269.943 - 293.215 Mike Della Rocha

Now, do they admit some of the paint will probably flake off once you bring it into your home and get on the floor and up into your ventilation system? Sure. Yeah. It might. But listen to this quote. It should put you at ease. They say Wyckoff's Tree Farm will not be held legally responsible for any damages or issues that arise from the use of their products.

293.595 - 300.564 Mike Della Rocha

See, why would a company say that unless it was 100 percent safe? Did you accept a waiver to buy one? Yeah. That's always a good sign.

300.604 - 301.025 Jeff

Exactly.

301.125 - 308.254 Mike Della Rocha

Everybody, stop being Grinches. Go huff your chemically painted Christmas trees this year. I'm just going to paint my own.

308.834 - 309.956 Brooke

Thank you. Yes.
