Chapter 1: What is the celebrity quiz about in this episode?
Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro.
We were in the car, like a rolling stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.
And I said, what?
What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have.
I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.
These are just a few of the moving and important stories on my 13th season of Family Secrets. Listen to Family Secrets on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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.
That's givedirectly.org slash happiness lab.

Chapter 2: How does the podcast highlight the importance of giving during the holiday season?
brook and jeffrey in the morning no this one happened in china actually when a young man driving an electric scooter at night suddenly lost control of his moped and crashed into a temporary traffic light oh ouch dude be careful on those things wear helmets please yeah now normally that wouldn't be enough to make global headlines yeah except in this case after the impact the guy's head somehow became stuck inside the traffic light okay
No way. What is this, a cartoon? Yes, his head went through the light, got stuck inside of it. Here's a photo of it. We'll have the picture up on the Brooke and Jeffrey Insta stories. Oh, my God. He's laying down on the ground, and the traffic light looks like it's fallen on top of his head, but I'm sure that they just took it off to make it more comfortable.
Well, it's like imagine the Jack in the Box guy, except instead of a giant Jack in the Box head, he's wearing a giant traffic light on top of his shoulders.
It is a sweet Halloween costume. You're right, Jose.
I would keep it on when you want people like me that are annoying to stop talking. You just turn it red. It's a different game of red light.
Yes.
So firefighters were called to free him from his unusual cage. And it turned out to be a lot easier said than done. It took about 40 minutes with first responders cutting away at the metal casing until they safely were able to release the guy's head. He's like, why couldn't it have been a flat stop sign? He turned out to be okay. They took him to a local hospital, made a full recovery.
But I don't know if he'll ever fully recover from the onslaught of jokes that people were making about him online. I mean, I already got a few out myself. Someone described it as a, quote, head-on collision with only light damage. Another wrote, emergency services are pulling out all the stops.
Which one do you like the most, Alexis? Stop laughing so hard. Maybe there'll be a third option that's better.

Chapter 3: What are the cycles fathers pass down that sons are left to heal?
Actually, yes it was. It was Kanye Omari West. Oh, really? Kanye sounds like a name. But of course, Ye isn't alone. Tons of other celebrities have done it, like Stephanie Germanotta, who of course goes by Lady Gaga.
Chapter 4: What does it mean for men to learn how to let go?
And Robin Fenty, who's more well-known as Rihanna. So today, I'm going to quiz you on other famous celebrity monikers during a special Say My Name, Say My Game edition of Plenty of 20s. You could shout out a number 1 through 20. You could bellow. You could scream it. I'll tell you the given birth name of a famous A-lister. You just have to tell me the iconic stage name they go by now.
We'll start with the woman who sometimes uses her stage name Baby Gaga. That's Alexis.
Baby Gaga. Goo Goo Gaga. Yeah, 9.
Number 9. Alexis, your celebrity performer was Prince Rogers Nelson. Tell me this person's stage name.
I mean, I have nothing besides Prince.
That seems too easy, though. Didn't he change it to a symbol later?
Dude, he always gives Alexis. Alexis always picks me. Also, I have literally no other guess.
I bet you it's Ryan Gosling. He was Prince Gosling at birth.
He's the stage name for acting?
