- 2:14Speaker 1: is that I mean you're a tough guy. You come
- 2:16Speaker 1: across as you know, I mean, your voice is tough.
- 2:18Speaker 1: So maybe they don't know how to handle your emotions.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Maybe they think you're not like that. Maybe you know
- 2:23Speaker 1: you're too tough kind of There's that, and there's also
- 2:26Speaker 1: like I am, I'm very close with my in laws
- 2:30Speaker 1: and my family right, very close. But if something happened
- 2:33Speaker 1: to my wife and I never got invited able, I'm
- 2:37Speaker 1: trying to talk to you making all this noise, No no.

- 5:41Speaker 3: when my mom passed away, I I know that there
- 5:44Speaker 3: was a little bit of chill in the air for
- 5:45Speaker 3: my dad, but then he became like best friends with

- 5:53Speaker 3: It just took them a little while to get over
- 5:56Speaker 3: it because it was it was a sad death, you know,
- 5:58Speaker 3: it was she she died of cancer, and lot of
- 6:00Speaker 3: she was the youngest, so a lot of them had
- 6:02Speaker 3: a hard time handling it. So her family might be
