Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed 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.

Who can you actually trust for good dating advice? It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I don't know. Even married people are out of touch now. I don't want to pick over at Brooke. We can't say, like, this show? No. I mean, we do so much dating stuff. You think we give good advice? I don't know.
Oh, God.
If the advice is don't do what most people do on our show, like. What not to do. That's nuts. I mean, can you ask your friends for advice? They have way too much confidence in you. They're like, you're great. You be you. Don't change anything about yourself. Anyone would be lucky to have you. That's true. Horrible advice. Useless. Meanwhile, your parents, they have no confidence in you.
They're like, look, you're not getting any younger. And you can't be so damn picky. I'm going to die before you get married. Like, just literally choose anyone. That actually, I think it's most parents. Yeah. I mean, maybe the real love gurus were actually the ancient Romans. Why do you say that?
I say that because someone looked back at dating advice from a poet in ancient Rome named Ovid who wrote down these dating tips for men 2,000 years ago. And honestly, some of it still rings true today. If any of them is, behead her if she says no to a second date. I swear, Jeff. Open her chariot door. Let's find out. Tip number one, to find love, you have to make an effort.
yeah ovid told men they shouldn't just expect their soulmates to magically appear in front of them one day quote she will not come floating down to you through the tenuous air she must be sought out yeah that's actually good advice tip number two you probably won't find her at a bar he said bars he said you won't choose the right person if you're wasted drunk God, is that what it says?
That's what the Roman poet said?
That is.

Chapter 3: What insights does the Crappy Childhood Fairy offer on trauma?
We'll start with the woman who, just like T-Pain, loves the bartender. That's Alexis. A five. Number five. Alexis, your quote is, Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid. T-Pain or John Wayne? Yeah, you know, maybe if I heard it in a cowboy accent, I could just... I could do any accent you wish, Alexis, to give one request. Okay, cowboy, because John Wayne has a country accent, right?
Yeah. He's been talking about how he's a cowboy for the last five minutes. Just checking.
Chapter 4: What are the challenges of discussing childhood trauma?
Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid. That's me if I was wearing a hat. Oh, that's not a cowboy. Cowboys, I'm not going to stereotype. I'll do an accent. I'm not going to stereotype. I heard the spurs, the boot spurs were in his voice.
Does that help, Alexis? Not really.
Let's go J. Wayne, though, anyway. Alexis says that's a John Wayne quote. Yeah! I did help. That was correct. That was a spot on John Wayne.
Thank you.
Did not like stupid people. It's your turn. Five is off the board.
Give me 12.
12. Your quote is, I think Eminem should use Auto-Tune. Is that T-Pain or cowboy actor John Wayne? Oh, that's a tough one. Gosh. That'd be so weird to hear Eminem doing like Rap God and all Auto-Tune. Boots with the Spurs would be really good with Auto-Tune. I think that's a different artist.
It is. I know, I know. It's still true.
Yeah. I'm just thinking of rap, you know. I am going to have to say T-Pain, though.

Chapter 5: What dating advice does ancient poet Ovid provide?
Yeah, yeah. Who was having an asthma attack?
There's layers to this.
He didn't stop during the attack. He went for it. He just yelled, good. So I watched T-Pain in his streams, and I could see him saying this easily. I'm going to go T-Pain. Easily? Jose says T-Pain. Sorry, that is a John Wayne quote. Is it really? Really? That is hilarious. That's crazy.
I guess he'd be telling a funny story like, man, the only time I won a fight was when she was asthma attack, man. It's probably like a comedic speech or something. Jeffrey, five, seven, that equals 12. All three of those numbers are off the board. I'll take four. Jeffrey, your quote is, when I was a kid, I had ringworm. Hell, I was more worm than boy for a couple years there.
Was that renowned artist T-Pain or former NFL draft pick John Wayne? Oh, my God. Yeah, I think I read an article in Rolling Stone about how T-Pain caught ringworm on his Double Trouble Happy Hour tour back in 2009. See, I think it was from that 11-year-old girl with the asthma attack. It's more of a kid thing. Yeah. Ringworm doesn't seem so much as a T-pain problem as it does a J-Wayne problem.
So give me John Wayne. Jeffrey says John Wayne. Absolutely. You got that one right. And that means, unfortunately, Jose has lost today's edition of Plenty of 20. Don't know how it happened, but Jose, you took the L this morning, and you're going to be singing Buy You a Drink by T-Pain. Oh, yeah. I'ma buy you a drink. Ooh, will you? I'ma take you home with me.
That goes against all the advice that ancient Roman Ovid would give.
Oh, darn.
Very anti-tea pain. But that is your shot caller question of the day.
