005: meghan rose's zodiac love letters, pixar's lava, & feeling seen

This week, Nins and Arns explore two heartfelt stories about what it means to feel truly seen.

Nins shares Meghan Rose's viral "love letters to the zodiac signs," a series of TikToks that celebrate the quiet gifts, strengths, and forms of love that each astrological sign brings into the world. Through astrology, appreciation, and self-reflection, she explores why being recognized for who we are can feel so healing.

Arns revisits Pixar's beloved animated short "Lava", the musical love story of two lonely volcanoes searching for connection across millions of years. What begins as a simple children's short becomes a moving reflection on patience, belonging, friendship, love, and the hope that we're never as alone as we think we are.

Together, these stories spark a conversation about validation, vulnerability, human connection, self-worth, friendship, love, and the universal desire to be understood.

Content warning: discussion of loneliness, emotional vulnerability, and themes of longing and belonging.

Intro

SPEAKER_05 0:00

Hi, I'm Angela Nan. I'm Ariana Kempis. And this is BRB Crying.

SPEAKER_03 0:16

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to BRB Crying. I'm Ariana Kempis, also known as Arns.

SPEAKER_05 0:26

I'm Angela N, also known as Ninz. Welcome back to our pod. Yes. This is a podcast where we just pretty much cry, talk about why. That's it.

SPEAKER_04 0:42

And that's it. That's it. Wow, I love that. That's all we got.

SPEAKER_05 0:45

Kind of rhymed too.

SPEAKER_03 0:46

Kind of rhymed, yeah. I loved that. Yeah. We should use that somewhere. Okay. I'll tattoo it.

SPEAKER_04 0:54

You're in the market for new tattoos, right? I've met. I've met for our branding. But no, you know what? Tattoo is a great thing.

SPEAKER_03 1:02

Permanent tattoos? Yeah, this is for life.

unknown 1:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:07

Can you imagine? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway. Thanks for finding us. Thanks for finding us. Thanks for listening. If you are a return customer, thanks for having us back in your lives, in your ears. We appreciate it, we know your time is so valuable. Yeah. And so to spend this time with us, listening to us bullshit, it means a lot. Yeah. Thank you so much. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:34

Well, okay. This is episode five. But we have finally released episode one officially to the world.

SPEAKER_04 1:48

We did.

SPEAKER_03 1:51

Yeah. Wow, what a feeling. It was so exciting. Yeah. Lots of anxiety. Oh, please. The whole day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? But I have been so taken aback by how receptive everyone has been to it. All our friends and family have been so great about promoting it and listening in and telling their friends and family to listen to. Yeah. So we really appreciate it because we thought we were only going to have one listener. Angela's husband. But guess what? My husband listened to Joe. Yeah. Oh, wow. Two listeners. He's proud.

SPEAKER_05 2:37

Yeah, he's proud.

SPEAKER_03 2:38

He is, yeah. Proud of that he listened.

SPEAKER_05 2:42

I thought you were going to say Joe Mar was proud of me. Yeah, proud of us. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:46

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that actually brings me to a thought that maybe we could start sharing some things that people have shared with us. Yeah. Because we ask people to email us or submit a form on our website if they have cried about something and they want to share it with us. And so we've gotten a couple of submissions already. And granted, they are not from strangers. But I thought that it would be kind of nice to share one. What do you think? Right now? Yeah, what do you think? Oh, okay, sure. And I was like brainstorming names for this segment. Yeah. Sob stories. What do we think? Cry corner. Tear tidbits. I'm open to suggestions. Yeah. Send us a message. Send us a message. It has to be this. Yeah. It has to obviously be an alliteration.

SPEAKER_05 3:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 3:45

If it's not some sort of literary device.

SPEAKER_04 3:49

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It can't just be like the part where they share where people cry.

SPEAKER_03 3:53

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So this is from a dear friend of me. I won't share names just in case they don't want to be just in case they want to remain anonymous. Just social security numbers. Oh yes. Yeah. In the show notes. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Don't worry. Don't worry, guys. I got you. Um so it says pregnant at 14 weeks, and I cry at everything, but especially when I'm hugging my parents. I think because I'm about to embark on this new chapter of becoming one myself, and I'm so scared, but also because I still am a child in need of them in so many ways. So I cried when I read that. Alan Brand. Yeah. Surprise! I cried. Um, yeah, so thank you for sharing that. Dear listener, you know who you are. That is a very vulnerable thing to talk about, and it's a big huge thing. One of the biggest things you'll probably ever feel in your life. But I appreciated that thought of I'm still a child myself. Because when I read that, I was like, yeah, I'm still a fucking kid. Oh my god. Yeah, for sure. You know, I still totally feel that way. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 5:13

I I just want to echo Arns's gratitude for everyone that has been so receptive to this project that no one asked for. Um what do you mean?

SPEAKER_04 5:28

We took a poll and people were like, please, please, please.

SPEAKER_05 5:33

Um, and I've just gotten some really incredible messages already. It's been over 24 hours now since we've released the episode. And the messages that you're sharing with me and Arns, like I can't express how moved I am that just listening to me and Arne's talk for 36 minutes about fucking random shit has inspired you to tap into your emotions as well and not only sit with it, but then have the courage to share that with us. Like, oh my God, like I just can't even like I'm just so grateful. Yeah. I'm so grateful that people are responding to this in the way that they are. And I think you said in episode one, like, hopefully this got you thinking a little bit, and I'm seeing it. I'm seeing people start to be a little bit more reflective. And it's amazing. Like, I'm just so so happy that this is the message that we're sharing.

SPEAKER_03 6:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 6:46

So thank you, everyone.

SPEAKER_03 6:47

It's funny because I was joking around about this better change someone's life, you know. Or, you know, I I was saying shit like, oh, you know, hopefully you cry, but yeah, I I don't think I really thought you better fucking cry listening to this. I swear to God. I don't I think even though I was saying that, I didn't know if people actually would. And that was fine with me. Yeah. Because as long as we were sharing something that felt good to us, that's what mattered. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 7:17

So much to my surprise, people are crying. Yeah. But the crying is like the byproduct of the emotional work that's happening.

SPEAKER_03 7:27

You know? So I'm proud of you all for being vulnerable with us and yourselves. Yeah. It's incredible. Yeah, it really is.

SPEAKER_05 7:39

It's really exciting. Yeah. Because it feels like it it's not just us two now. Yes. You know? Yeah. Like we're building so many bridges, hopefully. Yeah. And I just, again, I really hope everyone feels at home here listening to us. Yeah. So, yeah. Thank you so much. Thanks, everyone. Do

Nins: Astrologer Meghan Rose

SPEAKER_05 8:06

you want to start? Yeah, I will start today. I have a good one for you. Is it ever a bad one? I have a good one today. Yeah, I fucking hope. I have a really fucked up one today.

SPEAKER_03 8:17

Okay. This one is not good, and I didn't think about it very much.

unknown 8:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 8:22

Uh no, I think you'll I think you'll like this one. Um, so cry level. Like a three. Okay. The cry type was another moved one. Yeah. Like touched. Yes. And today I'm gonna be talking about a writer that I came across. Oh. Well, she actually calls herself a writer and astrologer.

unknown 8:49

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 8:49

Oh. Yeah. So okay. Her name is Megan Rose, and I came across her as I come across all things. TikTok. Yeah, TikTok! Let's go. The one and only. Yeah. So yeah, she came across my for you page. And I guess I'll just share that my for you page is it's comprised of you know, like baking things and like recipes. Yeah. Okay. Interior design, like cats. Cats for sure. Book talk. But a good portion of it is also like astrology. Oh, okay. And I've noticed in the last, I don't know, like five or six years that there really has been this resurgence in interest in astrology. Yeah. Especially like within our own group of friends. Oh we love. We love looking at people's charts and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_03 9:48

I'm guessing them too. Oh yeah. Oh, she for sure has blah, blah, blah. Definitely an aquarium.

SPEAKER_05 9:53

Just getting just getting to my aquarii. But I think a good reason for this interest is because we just learned so much more about it and like what all these different signs mean and what all these planets actually do in terms of kind of shaping a person. And I remember so distinctly when we were growing up, the common knowledge was just our sun sign, right? At the back of 17 magazine. I literally wrote, we would look up our horoscope in 17 magazine, and that would be pretty much the extent of what we knew about astrology.

SPEAKER_03 10:32

Mine was always like, you're uptight because you're a Virgo.

SPEAKER_05 10:35

Every time. But I think even today, it's really easy to be dismissive about sign reading and the woo-woo. Just in general, it's so easy for us to think that something is not necessarily factual because we don't know enough about it. But I don't know. I mean, I think it's still so intriguing of a topic. And there's so much to analyze and so much to learn from this. But yeah, so to all you listeners, if you know your birthday and your birthplace and your birth time, you can look up your birth chart and get a comprehensive look into your astrological reading. But for the sake of my topic today, we don't really need to delve into all of that. But if you are curious, I am a Capricorn Sun, a Cancer moon, and a Virgo rising. And I'm sure like 60% of the people are like, I don't know what the fuck that means. Like the other 40% are like, oh my god, I can see that.

SPEAKER_03 11:54

Yeah, totally.

SPEAKER_05 11:56

Oh, I thought you had exactly. But I was like, okay, how do I summarize that in one sentence? And I wrote, uh, that means that I am a goal-oriented perfectionist who gets in her feels constantly. Yeah. You know? Yeah. And then arns is a Virgo sun, cancer moon, like me, and a Leo rising. Yes. You want to take a stab at summarizing that in one sentence?

SPEAKER_03 12:30

What did I use? What is the word I used earlier? Uptight. I'm uptight and I cry and I love attention. What can I say?

SPEAKER_05 12:42

Yeah, I mean, if this interests you, I invite you to learn about your birth chart and read what it says about you and see if it resonates. Because I think at the end of the day, whether you believe in astrology or not, or any of these other types of personality tests, you know, like Myers Briggs, the Enneagram, human design, like all of these things at their core, they're all just really trying to allow people to better understand themselves, learn about how they function, help them understand other people.

SPEAKER_03 13:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 13:26

It's like, why would we want to dismiss that? Because what are we doing here on this earth if not trying to learn and not trying to connect, you know? So I don't know, open up your mind and just see what you can learn, you know?

SPEAKER_06 13:45

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 13:46

So back to Miss Megan Rose. So she is actually a writer for Glamour magazine.

SPEAKER_03 13:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 13:55

She's kind of like their resident astrologer. Okay. But she also has a really big following on TikTok, and her page is dedicated to a lot of this zodiac assessment and whatnot. And she posted a series of videos, and this is what I'm going to be talking about today. Okay. So this series is a 12-part series. And each of these videos is her love letter to each of the astrological signs. You can stop there. Yeah, I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna freaking get you today. Okay. And I I guess I should say, for all you freaking skeptics, I think if we uh remove astrology from this equation and we uh replace it with any other uh method that we use to categorize people, you know, gender, age, race, just like all of these things, it's so easy to fall into the dark trap of stereotypes. And if I bring this back to astrology, for those that have kind of basic understanding of what the different signs mean, it's so easy to summarize a person in a couple of words. And we literally just did that five minutes ago. And like I mentioned, I am a raging Capricorn. And I feel like Capricorns can get a bad rep. Well, I feel like any sign you could someone will be like, oh, I freaking hate blanks. But for Capricorns, the stereotypes that come across are they're bossy, they're ruthless, they're too direct and too focused on their career. And while I can see how I can be those things on some days, obviously I like to think that there's more to me than that. There's so much more to all of us beyond just the labels that we're given. So when I watched Megan Rose's love letter to Capricorns, um it's like it's like she was able to capture for each of the signs these these quieter traits that we all have, these things that are less pronounced because we're so guarded all the time. But it's like she saw right through all of that and actually highlighted all of the wonderful things that Capricorns do or Tauruses do. I'm obviously using Capricorns as the main example because she only talks about Capricorns. It's so weird. Um, but obviously the whole series is every single sign, and they're just as poignant and just as beautiful. So obviously, we will tag her social accounts on our show notes. I really invite you to look up the love letters for yourself because well, okay, let's listen to it and then we'll come back and we'll discuss why. So I'm gonna take a break here and I'm gonna share, I'm gonna share with Arns the the TikTok for Capricorn, and then I'm gonna show her the TikTok for Virgo.

SPEAKER_03 17:47

Um you didn't like it? No, no, that was whack. I don't know what she's talking about.

SPEAKER_05 17:56

Okay, so we just came back from watching Capricorn and Virgo. And uh if you haven't had a chance to stop what you're doing and look up this video, each of the videos starts off with Megan asking a question, and it's do you ever hear someone tell you their zodiac sign? And all of a sudden your mind just explodes into this visual visceral representation of who they are and what they bring to the world. No, just me. Okay, let me show you. And then she starts she starts describing all of these human feelings that equate to what that person's sign makes you feel. And I watched every single sign. It was like I'm thinking of, oh, I know a Libra, and I'm just listening to all of these explanations, and it's just like, yeah, that's that's exactly what this person makes me feel. It just makes you realize, like, God, look at what all these people bring into our lives. And for me, listening to the Capricorn one, the the one that caught my attention was when she says, it's the feeling of having someone else perfectly plan your birthday or anniversary in a way that you can never have done even for yourself, and it's executed flawlessly. Because I think that's so me. I know, I know that one caught me too. I think that I really do express my love for people through acts of service. And and what I mean by that is like really wanting to take care of plans and making sure that everything is perfect, the party is perfect, the experience, the hosting, you know, everything is taken care of. And that is my way of expressing my love. And you're watching this person say, like, I see you. I I appreciate that. I know what you're doing. Yeah, I can see that. Another example in this Capricorn love letter was it's the first warm enough day of spring where you get to leave the windows open all day long and live inside fresh air again. And it's also the feeling when you share all of your quirky little routines or habits with somebody, and instead of getting annoyed with you, they just smile and look lovingly, and all of a sudden that vulnerability isn't so scary at all. And those two I grouped together because I think all I ever really want to do for the people that I love and care about is I just want them to feel safe. Yeah, I want them to feel like they can be themselves. And again, it's like this person just sees that. Yeah, appreciates and just celebrates that. I don't know. I just think this whole series was just a good reminder to myself that it feels so good to be appreciated, to feel seen. And I don't know why, but I just feel like there is a hesitancy for us to do and express our love and gratitude so openly with others. But it's like why? Because we know how good it feels.

SPEAKER_03 22:01

Uh God. Yeah. It's funny because one of these things under Virgo is the crux of mine. Like the thing I'm gonna share later. Oh really? Yeah, yeah. It's yeah. It's like the thing that really got me when I was Okay.

SPEAKER_05 22:21

Yeah. Yeah. So I was like, oh. We didn't plan this. Oh my god. You know, I I was just basically admonishing the world for not showing enough appreciation to people. So I gotta walk the walk too. And so I came across this video maybe, I don't know, actually it's been a while, maybe like two months ago. And I just bookmarked it because I knew that at some point I wanted to talk about this. And when I came across the Capricorn one, she actually wasn't finished publishing all of the signs. The Virgo was the last one. And I was thinking to myself, okay, if I'm gonna be like preaching this message, we should really be more vocal about our appreciation. I was like, I wonder what I could say about arms. Yeah. And I mean, obviously I'm not as gifted of a writer as she like she this is crazy what she did. But it was funny because I like attempted it, and there was one line that I wrote, and I realized that she also said something very similar. And so here's what I wrote. I said, ours is the feeling of when you take off a full face of makeup and realize that you're still beautiful without it.

SPEAKER_04 23:37

I feel attacked.

SPEAKER_05 23:42

What did she write? She says, it's going out with your hair undone or normal makeup on and having someone compliment your eyes or something that simply can't be changed. Oh my god. Just two idiots crying. Oh god. Whoa.

SPEAKER_04 24:05

But yeah, I just um I need a moment to like really cry because that was really nice. No, like what you're saying. But like how, oh my god, they're gonna be listening and be like, I can't understand her through the sobs. It's it's so true. We have this hesitancy around thanking people. And yeah, why do we do that? Because it does feel so good to be thanked or seen.

SPEAKER_03 24:39

Like it's so easy to say, it's so easy to make that person feel seen and appreciated. It's so easy. Yeah. Why don't we do it more? Yeah. It like it's it's so little effort on your part, and the way it affects the person that you're saying it to, though, I mean It's like I just said that one little line, and were you having that reaction because it's it doesn't happen to you enough?

SPEAKER_05 25:06

You know, like why why is it that the moment that someone says something so lovely, it's like, oh sorry, I'm gonna fucking lose it. Yeah. Yes, yeah. No, I think you're right.

SPEAKER_03 25:21

I think we don't share it enough.

SPEAKER_05 25:24

Yeah. But I think this is a good reminder and maybe a gentle nudge that we should reconsider that. Yeah. We should tell people how much we appreciate them as often as we can. You know? Yeah. So thank you, Megan Rose. Thank you for that series. Oh, Meg. Thank you for thank you for recognizing all the beautiful things that people can offer to the world. And uh if you'd like to know what you offer, go look up her series.

Arns: Pixar short "Lava"

SPEAKER_03 26:06

Okay, well, um switch gears. Switching gears. Alrighty. Today, I'm going to talk about a Pixar short called Lava.

SPEAKER_05 26:22

You know this one? I have seen it. It's been a while. Okay. It's been a while. Buckle in.

SPEAKER_03 26:31

Okay, so lava is a love story about two volcanoes, Uku and Lele. And my sources today came mostly from a bunch of YouTube videos that were interviews that people were doing with the producer. Okay. Um, James Ford Murphy. So one was a K-H-O-N-2 News video, another one was from a user called Ruby Hornet, and uh another one called Sneak Peek, and both of them were South by Southwest interviews. And then there was also a Cineplex interview. And these all came out around the same time, which was 2015 when the short premiered. So this came out before Inside Out. This is the short that preceded the film, Inside Out.

SPEAKER_05 27:27

What year was this?

SPEAKER_03 27:28

2015. 2015. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 27:30

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03 27:31

What a year. What a year.

SPEAKER_05 27:33

It could have been any year, and I would have been like, what a year.

SPEAKER_03 27:39

Um so listening to these interviews, I learned that it's actually not planned which short gets shown before which film. It's kind of by chance, it's timing. But I feel like Inside Out was such an emotional or it was about emotions, and then this was uh a crier for me at least. When I first watched this, I actually did not watch it in theaters. I watched it when it came out on whatever streaming service. Okay. So I was at home alone when I watched specifically Lava. Yeah. Um, and thank God it was like it was like an eight out of ten. I I mean Wow. You just let loose. Yeah, yeah, yes, exactly. Couldn't breathe. Okay. So I'll talk a little bit first about the producer. And yeah, his name is James Ford Murphy. He is a white man. It is a little cringe because he wrote this song that is obviously inspired by Hawaiian Islands and he's white. But you know what? It even after knowing that, I didn't cry any less. Yeah. So you know, it is what it is. Yeah. So he fell in love with the islands when he was young, and he went to the big island, I think, on his honeymoon. And he many years later went back for his anniversary with his wife and his kids. And so he bought an ukulele when he was in Hilo, and he plays guitar. He had never played the ukulele before, but he started kind of experimenting with it, and he had drawn a photo on a napkin. It was a volcano, and it said, I love you. And he was like, There's something here. So he talks about how moved he was when he first heard Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Is Kamakavi Voole. And he was like, I had heard that song so many times in Wizard of Oz, but it hit so different when he heard Iz's. Yeah. And I think that everyone. Everyone. I think there's something about the simplicity of the Ukulele and his voice. So yeah. He wanted to write a song that made him feel the same way that song made him feel the first time he heard it. Yeah. He did it, I think. And so I think I'll just play the song for you. Okay. So we're gonna take a little break and I'm going to play the video for Nins. Okay. Ah, so good. Yeah, it is. And okay, so I just played the video for Nins. And obviously, I'll link it in our show notes. But I'll also just kind of talk through what happens in the video or in the in the short. So there's a volcano, and he's searching for someone to love, and he's singing this song and hoping that someone will hear. And he sings, I have a dream I hope will come true, that you're here with me and I'm here with you. I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above will send me someone to love. So, unbeknownst to him, there is a volcano, another volcano underneath, listening to him sing this song. And she's like waiting. And he's turning into stone. He's on the brink of extinction because uh, you know, after years and years of waiting. And he sings his song of hope one last time, and uh she rises above the surface, but she can't see him because her back is to him. And uh he's at this point underwater and he's trying to sing, but he can't. So she sings for him, or she sings for them, and then they're finally united at the end. And the song that they sing is now I have a dream, I hope will come true, that you'll grow old with me, and I'll grow old with you. We think the earth, sea, and the sky, we think too. I love you. Lava you. I lava you. I'm sorry, I lava you. So I I want to give a little bit more background that I learned about this from these interviews. The visuals, regarding the visuals and the animation, this is the first time that I guess Pixar as a studio had ever tried to create sets that were also characters. So, you know, a volcano being the character, whereas it would usually be a set. And so that was really hard because volcanoes are obviously static land formations, and so they had to be creative in the ways that they gave them life and movement, which I think they did such a good job of just the expressions, and you can see his face has so much glove and hope and longing, and then then you kind of see his desperation, you know, when he's starting to sink underwater. Yeah. And then regarding the music, so this was performed by Kuana Torres Kahele and Napua Greg. So when the producer was trying to find people, he so once the project was greenlit, he said he listened to Hawaiian music for like a year, and then he found out that there was like a a Hawaiian kind of Grammys, so he was like, I gotta go to this. And so they found the perfect people who are not just incredible singers, but incredible at emoting. And I think that especially the narrator who also voices the first volcano, his voice is so rich and full. And it's I I think it's the perfect complement to this simple ukulele. And then also like the pacing, like it starts out mellow and then like it gets a little slower as the years go by, and then once he's kind of desperate, it gets like faster and then it mellows out again. And so I think they did a really good job there. So the director says that it's a story about the patience of love. Because this takes place over millions of years. What we're watching is millions and millions of years going by. But I think that it's more than just waiting patiently for love to find you. I think it's more for me at least patience as an act of love. Bitch. You know what I mean? Like that is that is love. That waiting is love. You're not just waiting for love, that is love. Like you could be in search of someone and have no idea if the universe is heeding your call. But he just keeps singing until he can't anymore. He just till his very last day, he kept singing. And then I it occurred to me that this doesn't even have to be romantic love. It could be the love that you have for a soulmate that comes in any form. A friend, a lover, a child, and and even yourself. Like it just.

SPEAKER_05 36:34

I I was trying to think about what line in the love letter poem struck out to you, but now I know.

SPEAKER_03 36:42

Yeah. It's it's reading a book or watching a movie and understanding that even in the darkest period of your life when you felt more alone than you could have thought that you could hold, that somebody else was going through the same thing and you were never really alone to begin with. I think that's perfect.

SPEAKER_05 37:00

But actually, I was thinking of another line. Why were you? I was. What were you thinking about? I was thinking, and this is so you too. It's it's accomplishing something that's really important to you and having someone else celebrate it even bigger and better than you could have celebrated yourself. You know, it's like when she took over, she was like, No, I will continue this for you because you can't do it yourself. That's what shock outs to me as.

SPEAKER_04 37:32

For those of you who are listening and not watching, I've been crying this whole episode. Wow, yeah. Yeah, but no, yours works too. Yeah, yeah. All of it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 37:48

It's yes, it's like mine and then yours.

SPEAKER_04 37:52

That was literally the story. I mean, are we the volcanoes? Are we Uku and Lele? Oh god. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 38:00

But yeah, it still gets me every time I watch it. Yeah. And I every time I watch it, I'm like, oh, this is so nice. Maybe I won't cry. Maybe I've mellowed out. Sure.

SPEAKER_05 38:11

No, but I love that. It's similar to the Anna Lore art that you talked about, too. It's like love has so many different forms. Because so many people will take that as face value. Oh, these are lovers. Yes. You know, but no, there's so much more that this could be addressing. Yeah, I love that. I lava it. You lava it?

SPEAKER_03 38:37

Yeah. I lava it too.

SPEAKER_04 38:42

It's funny because when the, you know, the producer is talking about like, oh, it's about the patience of love.

SPEAKER_00 38:47

I'm like, no, it's more. I know you wrote this, but it's so much more than that.

SPEAKER_02 38:51

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sick. Well, there you have it, folks. This one, I cried a lot. Yeah. Yeah. It's good. It feels good, right? It feels so good.

SPEAKER_05 39:04

I think it's because we're crying because there's just something so powerful about feeling seen. Both of them. You know? Both of them. Yeah. Yeah. This was a good one to do together. This was unplanned. Unplanned. Oh.

SPEAKER_03 39:24

What a good episode. This was a good one. This was a great one, everyone. If you haven't rated us five stars yet, what are you doing, dude? Now would be a good time.

SPEAKER_05 39:34

I know that you and I have been best friends our whole lives, maybe more. But I really hope that those listening feel just as included in this circle that we're in. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 39:50

Yeah. And like we say at the end of every episode, we would love to hear from you. This is what has been happening. People have been sharing with us that they've been crying. And we would love to hear from all of you. Yeah. If you want to share something that made you cry, maybe you want us to cry too. Yeah, we can stay here. We can cry together. We can cry together. Like all besties do. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah. The three best friends, me, you and the internet. No, but seriously. Yeah, truly.
