Chris Fomo here and hey, we're bringing you something a little different today,

0:03.6

but it's something I think you're going to look. It's a brand new episode for my podcast with

0:08.1

my brother D. Lemon, The Handoffs. Maybe you already watched us at night or maybe you're looking

0:13.5

for something new. Either way, we've got a great discussion for you. So enjoy.

Welcome, brothers and sisters to the second season of The Handoff. I am Chris Fomo. So lucky to be

0:30.8

joined with it's me, Don Lemon. He's not lucky. He's mad at me. If you knew what it took us,

0:38.1

we had to go through to record this. And today was all my fault because I screwed up the whole

1:18.1

1:26.1

with this. We talk about it all the time. It is the number one research, the number one listen to

1:34.1

and the number one struggled with concept in our lives here in America. And it is very simple.

1:42.8

Happiness and whether or not people are happy. And if so, how do they define it and how do they

1:50.1

comprise it? So I put that to you. Don Lemon, are you happy? Yes. I am happy. Am I always in a good

2:00.8

mood? No, but that's two different things. Right? How so? Well, because listen, your day to day

2:06.4

mood is not necessarily always happy. Sometimes you're anxious about things. Sometimes you are

2:11.2

content. Sometimes you may be solemn. You may even be sad about certain things. But I think
