1 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to stuff 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: I've never told you production of I Heart Radio. Samantha, Yes, 3 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: why did we cry? That is a good question. That's 4 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: actually what I asked you last week. You did, and 5 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: here's a Monday mini about it. Yeah. I was like, look, 6 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: I just had a day. I want everybody know I'm okay, 7 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: but sometimes I need to cry. Yeah. I got like 8 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: a seven thirty pm work email message saying we need 9 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: to talk about crying. It's true because I was like, 10 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: gook ahead, and I think it's the next day. So 11 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: it took me a whole like day and a half 12 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: to get it together to be like, we need to 13 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: talk about this. Well, I'm a big proponent of me search. 14 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: So here we are, here, we are here, we are 15 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, we're talking about this science of crying and 16 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: some some cultural stuff, general overview things. Um So, as 17 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: a human being listening to this, you probably know vaguely 18 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: at least the answer to why do we cry? It's 19 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: usually in response to sadness or frustration, stress, exhaustion, and yes, 20 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: even joy. Emotional tears have higher levels of stress hormones 21 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: like cortisol. So there are three types of tears that 22 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: scientists have isolated and yes there's tears science, um, but 23 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: in emotional tears, Uh, they have this these higher hormone 24 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: levels and they suspect because of that, it's a way 25 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: of lowering your stress levels and improving your mood. Right, 26 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: And we're gonna talk a little bit about some of 27 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: the benefits of crying. But last week was kind of 28 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: a rough one for me. Um. I don't know if 29 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: it was the book that we read, which had a 30 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: lot of emotional turns. Um. So if you need to 31 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: read something that gives you all the fils and to 32 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: let it all out with skys and ribbons, there you go. Um. 33 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: Which we will be talking about soon. Were we talking 34 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: about before that? Are publication schedules are hassy? Um? I 35 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: think that's so yeah, Okay, we've either talked about it 36 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: or we'll be talking about as soon. So um. But 37 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: also there was this dog story that I read and 38 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: then there was just an overall sadness of Twitter verse 39 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: which I got caught up in. But man, I definitely 40 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: felt it deep inside, which resulted in a day of 41 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: just crying, which then led to why am I still 42 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: struggling with the feeling that this is me being weak, 43 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: which I really you know, it's just the whole conversation 44 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: that we've had. I know there's been episodes done on it, 45 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: especially when we've talked about when we get angry and cry, 46 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 1: we feel weak in that. But yeah, it definitely had 47 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: one of those moments of like, uh, what is this? Yeah, yeah, 48 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: I mean that's the whole thing to dangle is. I 49 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: also struggle with that feeling like, oh, this is weakness. 50 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: I shouldn't cry, I should be stoic. And we're going 51 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: to talk a bit more about that in a minute. That. 52 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: I do think that has to do at least in 53 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: part with traditional stereotypical gender roles, wherein men don't cry, 54 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: girls do cry, you want to be more like men. 55 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: Um So there is that, But crying can be really 56 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: good for you. On top of stress belief, crying can 57 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: also bring us closer to people, It can help us 58 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: be more creative, it can help us move forward. A 59 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: study out of the University of Florida found that after crying, 60 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: almost respondents felt better. And this I didn't know about this, 61 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: but I loved it. Apparently there are crying events and 62 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: clubs in Japan where at some of them. For instance, 63 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: they watched Tear Drickers and Cry together. I'm guessing Titanics 64 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: on the top of that. I don't thank you cry 65 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: it Titanic. I have Titanic. I'm assuming it's sad I'll 66 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: never let go Jack and she did, and she did. Yeah, 67 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: that definitely did that for myself. Look at me. I'm 68 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: with the Japanese here, I will say after that, I 69 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: did fill a lot of relief um as of some 70 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: of my anxiety and helplessness exited my body through my tears. 71 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: So that was a nice little moment for sure. Yeah, 72 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: I find out crying really cathartic. And I am someone 73 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: who my friends sort of look at, uh give me 74 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: a side, I shall we say, because I do enjoy it, 75 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: and they make jokes about it, and one of them is, 76 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: so I love angst. I love it. I love it. 77 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: And there's a running joke among a group of my 78 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: friends that have been known me for so long they 79 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: call me womp uh so w h O m p 80 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: a uh like the ice creature from the Empire strikes back. 81 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: So it's a pun on wamp, which is a term 82 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: frequently used in fans fiction and of course Star Wars 83 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: one of the loves of my life. And if I 84 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: look back, I don't know why I'm thinking about all 85 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: my fictional crushes a lot lately. I guess I have 86 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: some time on my hands. Uh. They all have kind 87 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: of this angsty past. Um, So I definitely can relate 88 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: to thinking, you know what, today I need a good cry. 89 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: I've got my episodes of TV shows and my books 90 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: or my movies that I know will get me there. 91 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: Let's do it. Um. And this whole thing made me 92 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: think of Inside Out, which they talk about a movie 93 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: that gives me to cry. Um, And the moral of 94 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: that story, at least the way I interpret it, is 95 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: by crying, it's a signal to other people that care 96 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: about you to help you. Um. And and after you 97 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: do that, then you can experience joy or these other things. 98 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: And I feel like that's essentially what I love about angst. 99 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: I like the simplified, the simplification of this person is hurt. 100 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: Let's comfort them, because I have a lot of trouble 101 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: asking for help. So in a story like that, which 102 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: inside Out isn't really that, but a lot of fans 103 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: fiction I read and right is this person is hurt 104 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: it's comfort them. That's it. That's it, right. Honestly, movies 105 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: like this and Up, which I still finished, are dangerous 106 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: for me. I kind of sit in the emotions too long. 107 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: Bamby haunted me forever, It haunted a lot of us. 108 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: I think it's wrong it, honestly, I think that as 109 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: well as Land Before Time. Yeah, yeah, I was ugly 110 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: crying all that nonsense. And look, I was a good 111 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: ugly cry. And you know, when we talk about ugly cry, 112 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: we're talking about snot we're talking about the faces that 113 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,119 Speaker 1: just inexplicably looks like you made. She looks like a monster, 114 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: a little bit like they're making monster faces. Um. But 115 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: I don't think we see it enough on TV, which 116 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: we should. We should. That's the realistic of like tragedy 117 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: is when we get into that whole level of like 118 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: no holding back of crying, that ugliness, that translates later 119 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: to that puffy red face for the next entire day, 120 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: So it lasts the memories of that cry last for you. 121 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: I definitely haven't seen it portrayed enough, and it should be, honestly, 122 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: so I wasn't aware of this sort of phenomenon. I mean, 123 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: we all know what that is. But I didn't know 124 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: ugly cry was a thing until back when I was 125 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: the video producer on this show. We did an episode 126 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: on ugly crying and the example that was given a 127 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: lot was Claire from Homeland, Claire from Homeland, and then um, 128 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: Claire Danes from My So Called Life. Yes, so this, 129 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: interestingly is one of the main examples people gave of 130 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: saying why they don't like to cry is not that 131 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't feel goods, but they are self conscious about 132 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: how they look when they do, which I think is 133 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: very sad um that we can't let go up that 134 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: even in the throes of emotion. I mean, she definitely 135 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: gets all up in that emotion. So did you watch 136 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: Myself Called Life? Have we talked about this? No, I'm 137 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: talking teenage angks up the wazoo. I don't understand how 138 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: you've not seen this between Jared Letto's bad boy persona, 139 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: but it just misunderstood as well as the best friend 140 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: who has like a drug addiction a little bit, and 141 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: then you have, uh, the lgbt Q character I believe 142 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: latin X character who's going through all of the turmoil 143 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: of their life as well, Like you just have all 144 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: of the angst of teenage life in one show. So 145 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: between puberty, between emo guys, between drug addiction, between lgbt 146 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: Q issues. I mean, that should have been right up 147 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: your alley. Honestly, it might be. It may even out 148 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: of your generation is probably my teenage generation. To be fair, 149 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: you're probably too young for that. You should go back 150 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: and watch some of those things. I wonder, I wonder 151 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: what your thoughts would because it is the a pit 152 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: of me of as I do, like a very specific 153 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: type of ex which I could go into, but it 154 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: would take more time than we have, but don't. Claire Janes. 155 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: Claire Janes is kind of the character known as the 156 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: ugly crier as well as if you I don't know, 157 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: if you've already watched New Girl. They talk about Justin 158 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: Long's character and being the ugliest crier that they've ever seen. 159 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: But it's like comedic level of crying, like he's over 160 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: the top, but it's it's interesting too. Yeah. I guess 161 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 1: that's a good segue into gender differences. And as we 162 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: already mentioned, it is more acceptable in this our western 163 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: civilization for women to cry. Uh. And I was thinking 164 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: the quote there's no crying at baseball, and then the 165 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: song big Girls Don't Cry, and that's sort of translating 166 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: into be more masculine, because that is better. Crying is weak. 167 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: For some reason, this whole thing it made me remember 168 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: I used to go to Bible School when I was 169 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: in middle school, and they, the people who ran it, 170 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: they were trying to get us to memorize Bible verses. 171 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: So it was a game of tag. When you got tagged, 172 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: you you went into prison and you couldn't get out 173 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: until you recited a Bible verse to the person who 174 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: is running the jail. And all of us, literally all 175 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: of us just memorized Jesus Wept, which is the shortest 176 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: Bible verse, and so we would just like barely be 177 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: in the fake prison, be like Jesus swept, and run 178 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: back out. They were so annoyed with those They were 179 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: so annoyed to us. I was gonna say, then Jesus 180 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: wept because you cheated an No, they didn't specify that manipulated. Nope, nope, 181 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: and that you have that the rule change. Oh, I'm 182 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: sure it did. I'm sure did. But then you can 183 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: do another verses I pray without ceasing like it has. Yeah, well, 184 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: we're talking about the benefits. According to one article from 185 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: Medical News Today, it is estimated within cry on average 186 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: three point five times a month, as where men cry 187 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: one point five, which is an interesting number. I wonder 188 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: how they got that. I would imagine it was self reported. 189 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: I have to say, in my experience and my family 190 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: like very insular, my family and maybe some of my 191 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: close friends, I feel when women cry it's usually sadness 192 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: or stress, whereas most of the men in my life 193 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: it's been anger. I'm crying out, like getting so angry. 194 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: Except for my dad, he would cry it literally everything. Um, 195 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: he was a very sentimental kind. I was gonna say, 196 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: my family, they're more. They cry when they're sentimental. So 197 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: when they think on memories and pass, that's when they cry. 198 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: They don't typically get angry and cry. I feel like 199 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: I do that women U the female and our family 200 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: would do that more. But when it gets sentimental talking 201 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: about the old days, they're talking about past memories of 202 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: loved ones gone, religion, do like all of that will 203 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: make them cry. There are few reasons as to why 204 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: people cry, but the majority of the time it is 205 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: due to emotional reasons. Again, which do have these higher 206 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: levels of stress hormones in the tears. And then there 207 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: are benefits to crying, and with everything that is happening, 208 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: it's nice to hear about the benefits, and some of 209 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: those are. It actually is a self soothing benefit that 210 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: helps you relax and regulate your emotions, so that's good. Yeah, 211 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: and it can help relieve pain. Crying releases octytosin and endorphins, 212 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: which help to sue pain and can also enhance your 213 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: mood and also can release toxins which can once again 214 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: release stress. Crying can also help you physically. Tears can 215 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: fight off bacteria with fluid called lizo zyme, and also 216 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: improve our vision by making sure the mucus membrain doesn't 217 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: try out. So those are the two other reasons outside 218 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: of emotional tears. Those are the two other types of tears. 219 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: Frequent crying can be a sign of depression. There's a 220 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: crying proneus skill, so there's something to look at and 221 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: which goes into a lot of other things, that level 222 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: of helplessness and continue feeling of dread or disappointment. So 223 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: definitely something to watch for. Constantly crying, yes a sign, 224 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: so be aware of that. Yes, absolutely, But if you 225 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: just need a good cry, Let's say yes, it's okay, 226 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: and we we want to be here for you in 227 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: whatever way we can to help bring maybe some joy 228 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: or some clarity or our sadness, you know, but we 229 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: want to do the best things for our audience.
