| 0:00.0 | And in this segment that we call Happy Facts, we bring in our two favorite happiness contributors from Live Happy magazine. |
| 0:14.2 | They are section editor Chris Libby. |
| 0:15.7 | Hello. |
| 0:16.2 | And our science editor, Paula Felds, joining us from Nashville, Tennessee. |
| 0:19.5 | Paula, hello. |
| 0:20.4 | Howdy. |
| 0:55.3 | We are glad you are here because what we do is we take our favorite facts that we found this week as they relate to positive psychology and then share them with you and discuss them. And we do not have a set order. So this week, let's start with Paula. Paula, what is your fun fact for the week? All right. Well, y'all are going to think I made this up.
