Chapter 2: How did online dating evolve from Al Gore's invention?
Your identity is formed by a secret history. I'm Dani Shapiro, and these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets.
He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off. And that was the last time I saw him.

Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist and host of the podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans.
I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program.

Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out.
There was a large chunk of my 20s that I was just so wanting to be out of that phase, out of my skin, and I just really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now. You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to The Psychology of Your 20s on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Chapter 3: What trivia question reveals the percentage of married couples who met online?
Hold on, let me ask my other personalities. Are you guys crazy too? I feel like this is when Jeffrey ushers in a psychiatrist. No, we can't afford that. This is kind of crazy because research just came out that found how to spot the difference between a regular woman with just a not-so-great personality and a certified psychopath.
Oh.
They did the study on women ages 21 to 57 from a maximum security correctional facility. That's the right place to do it. It's psychopaths that have committed crime. Actual psychopaths. Kind of similar to this padded radio control room that we're in right now. It's very padded, though. It's soundproof. They were able to find one physical tell.
Something you'd be able to notice hanging out with a person for just like a minute or so. The scientist said you could use this in real life too, not just for inmates. If you're on a date with someone or if you're trying to meet a new friend. Okay, let me tell you. Let's hear how they point out crazy women. I love this. Why do I feel like this is all funneling to me? This is going to be shocking.
This is a real study. The one physical tell of a psychopath is whether or not they move their heads when they talk. What? Everybody moves their head. If a woman holds her head perfectly still while in conversation, then she has high levels of psychopathic propensities. And what does that mean for us in this room? I'm looking at the link.
I mean, if you've ever seen Alexis, she moves her whole body when she talks. Her head, her legs, her arms go all over the place. Even when she just said, oh, her whole head snapped. So she's probably not a psychopath. She's like one of the Wiggles over there. Brooke, on the other hand, a little bit less of a mover, though. Am I? Could be the age or maybe something else that she's not telling us.
Okay. And guys are not in the clear either. Similar studies on dudes who study their melons.

Chapter 4: What surprising fact is revealed about hugs and longevity?
They often turn out to be psychopaths too. That don't move their heads. That do not move their heads when they're talking. But it's not as much as women. Ladies, it's a 90% tell if they don't move their heads. I can't think of anyone that I know that doesn't.
I know.
So they did this while people are in prison. If they move their head, are they like, sorry, we'll let you go? Like, you know what I'm saying? No. You don't have to do that. And I'm sure it has nothing to do with back or neck problems because prison is notoriously comfortable beds there.
Yeah.
Good pillows. So now we got to go over to the man who moves his head the least whenever he speaks. That's interesting. Digital Shane.

Chapter 5: How do couples synchronize heart rates through eye contact?
Best psycho friend, Digital Jake. Yeah! Give us some trivia, man. Well, you may not think of Al Gore as a romantic guy, but without him inventing the internet, we never would have gotten online dating. So thanks, Al, you slippery hunk. Remember when Al Gore said he invented the internet? And today is National Online Romance Day. Oh! I know online matches aren't necessarily this group's forte.
I mean, Alexis can't even get a swipe on a dog walking app.
You're not wrong.
But still, we're going to see how much you really know about attraction and affection in a special love and online dating edition of... I'll go around the room. You say a number between 1 and 20, and I'll ask you a question about online romance. Let's start with the woman whose Raya account just got flagged for a third time. That's Alexis.
I have to show my friends the screenshots.
Alexis, in a recent survey, what percentage of married people say they met over a dating app? Is it 23%, 43%, or 63%? Wow, that'd be so high.
Any of those is pretty high. I know, because it depends how old the people are that are married. Great point, yeah. Because all my friends, most of them met. A lot met online, but my parents didn't.
Yeah, but your parents' age, they're divorced and then back online. You know what I mean?
That's true. My parents did meet their new relationships online. Yeah. I'm going to go high. I'm going to go 63.

Chapter 6: What percentage of people fall in love with someone they initially find unattractive?
Jose, give her a hug right now.
She'll love that.
Whoa, I wasn't expecting that. Hugging, oh, such great radio to listen to people. Jeffrey hates hugs, by the way. I often offer to hug him. I'm trying to die early, so yes. Brooke needs help living longer, so. It's true. Brooke said true. That is... That's true.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina found couples who hugged at the end of the day for 20 seconds had lower heart rate and blood pressure than couples who didn't. That's sweet. Jose, couples can sync up their heart rates just by staring directly into each other's eyes. Is that true or false? Yeah. Why would you want to sync up your heart rates? It's cool.
Don't you think it's cool to control things? Don't you guys, when you go to the doctor, you're like, oh man, I'm going to make my blood pressure really low right now just to prove how low I can make it.
Yeah, I know what you're saying.
The thing is tightening on you and you're like, stay calm. That's insurance fraud, Jose. You're trying to mess with the doctors. I'm going to say this is true. Jose said true. That is... That's true.
That's amazing.
A study was done in Argentina where couples calmly gazed at each other for 40 minutes to see if their heart rates were just. And it did.

Chapter 7: How does the show engage listeners with trivia about online romance?
Jeffrey said false. That is... That's true. A study showed the release of oxytocin, adrenaline, and hormones associated with love happened just .2 seconds after initial contact. They don't mean love. They mean love in quotes. You're hot. The hormone rush. All right, we're down to Brooke and Jose. Brooke, I need a number from you. 17. Jeffrey's lucky number. No, mine.
Brooke, in a Match.com survey, what percentage of men and women say they've fallen in love with someone they did not immediately find attractive? Is it 5%, 15%, or 35%? I hope it's 89% or something super high, Jake. It's like 80% of Brooke's ex-boyfriends are people she wasn't immediately attracted to. No, actually opposite. Oh, really? Yeah. Even the toothless guys?
Oh, yeah, because they had their teeth in when I first met them. Just when he took it out during dinner. You'd think the teeth would help with dinner. You got to take it out. It's like a, I don't know. 5%, 15%, or 35%, Brooke? I don't even know where your ex's teeth went. I don't even know where it went. Okay, 5%. Brooke said 5%. That is... Incorrect.
The answer was 35% of people said they'd fall in love with someone they did not find immediately attractive. Am I the love expert? Jose, you've won today's online dating edition of Valenti of 20.
All right.
Jose, since you win, you get to choose who gets shocked today. They'll be singing Lonely by Akon. I think I'm going to choose you, Jeff. Lonely, I have nobody for my... That's your shot caller question of the day. We got your phone tab coming up in just a few minutes. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy. Not quite.
