- [Friend] I love you.
You are one of my very best friends,
'till the day that I take my last breath on this planet.
I hope you know that.
- Same.
(bright music)
- [Interviewer 1] Let's call someone
and tell 'em that you love 'em.
- Okay.
- Call someone and say I love you.
I'm thinking of my best friend from high school.
- [Interviewer 2] Have you lost touch?
- Yeah.
- My friend Derek, he just moved to Michigan
and we don't really talk as much anymore, so...
- I feel like things have been different
since I moved far away.
- He's the closest thing that I've had to a brother.
- Oh, I didn't think I'd be nervous, okay.
- [Interviewer 2] Why would you be nervous?
- 'Cause I think I'm mad.
I'm pretty mad about how things ended.
(dial tone droning)
- [Speaker 2] Oh, hi.
- Hello.
- [Speaker 2] I wasn't expecting your face
to pop up on my screen.
- I just wanted to call you and say that I love you, man.
It's been a while and I really wanted to let you know that
I miss you.
- [Speaker 3] Dude, I miss you and I love you too, man.
I appreciate the call.
- Well, Joshy, I'm just calling to let you know
that I love you.
- [Speaker 1] Aww, I love you so much.
Thank you so much for saying that.
That's so sweet.
I seriously mean it, wow.
I love you, bestie. [Inaudible]
What's going on?
Are you okay?
- Sorry, I did not think I was gonna cry.
- Hey man, I haven't seen you since you left.
And I just wanted to let you know that I love you.
- [Speaker 4] Yeah bro, thanks.
- I just wanted to call to say that I love you.
- [Speaker 2] Aww, I love you too.
- You sound confused.
- [Speaker 2] I'm very confused.
- I just wanted to just reconnect.
- [Speaker 2] I feel like we've kind of gone in circles
with this, but I've always said yes.
We just need to actually do something.
- [Speaker 1] I love you.
You are one of my very best friends,
'till the day that I take my last breath on this planet.
I hope you know that
- Same, okay, gotta go.
I love you, bye.
- [Speaker 1] I Love you, bye.
- Wow, sorry.
- [Interviewer 1] That's okay.
- It's bit bittersweet.
Like it's great to hear his voice again,
but it's a reminder that we're really far apart
and that it's pretty hard to see him, so...
- [Interviewer 1] Like how do you think that made him feel?
- I think me knowing him, it means a lot to him.
- [Interviewer 1] He didn't say he loves you back.
- Yeah.
- You can kind of get away with not saying I love you
when you see someone in real life because you can show them.
Being far away, we haven't been in person
to show each other.
- [Interviewer 2] Call someone and say I love you.
Who's someone you haven't said it to in a long time?
- I'm not really distant from her
but I was kind of thinking of my sister.
- I could try my brother.
I don't talk to him very often.
Growing up, we didn't get along very well.
And in fact, we had a bit of a sibling rivalry
and I was often jealous of him.
So I wasn't the nicest to him.
- She's gonna think there's an emergency.
She's gonna think something's wrong.
- [Speaker 5] Hey, friend, you okay?
- [Speaker 6] Hello.
- Hey Graham.
- I just wanted to call and tell you I love you.
And I'm really grateful for all that you've done for me.
And I really appreciate you.
- [Speaker 5] Are you sure you're okay?
- Yeah, I'm totally fine.
- I actually just want to call
and you know I love you so much
and appreciate having you in my life.
- [Speaker 6] To the point.
- No, that's the point.
The point is that I love you,
and just wanted you to hear that.
- Oh, thank you.
I love you too. (laughing)
- [Interviewer 1] How was that?
- Well, it was nice.
It was nice to be able to tell him I love him,
'cause I don't talk to him very often.
- [Interviewer 2] Call someone and say I love you.
- Okay. - Who are you thinking of?
- My dad.
- My mom.
- My dad.
- Probably my mom.
- I'm thinking of my mom, who's like, I consider her my mom
but she's not my birth mom or anything.
It's my best friend's mom.
- I will call this person.
This is my chosen auntie.
- I stopped talking to my mom when I moved out here.
I went through a divorce and she wasn't really present
with me during it.
Like shaking a little bit.
(dial tone droning)
- [Speaker 7] Hello.
- Hey mom.
- [Speaker 7] Hi.
- Basically, I know I haven't talked to you in a while.
I was calling though, to tell you that I love you.
- [Speaker 7] I love you.
- I just called to say that I love you,
that I appreciate you.
- [Speaker 8] That's so sweet.
I feel so honored to know such dope young folks.
Thank you, this call means a lot to me.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it.
- I appreciate you.
- I just wanted to call and say that I love you,
and that I feel pretty bad for maybe not saying it more.
- [Speaker 9] Aww son, I love you too.
I'm proud of you, I'm really proud of you.
- Thanks.
- I just wanted to call to tell you that I love you
and you're amazing, and you mean so much to me.
- [Speaker 10] Aww, thank you.
- Well, I just called to say that I love you, dad.
- [Speaker 11] Well I appreciate hearing that for sure.
As I tell you all the time, I love you too, son.
I'm proud of you, I'm glad you're my son.
- I just wanted to call and tell you that I love you.
- [Speaker 12] Oh, you're gonna make me cry.
(both laughing)
Thank you.
- You're welcome. - I love you so so much.
- Now you're gonna make me cry.
- Oh, I don't think I say it enough to you.
It's important for you to know that.
- [Speaker 7] I know you guys love me.
You guys are doing your life, doing your thing,
and that's fine.
Part of life is growing up and doing what you do.
I love you
- [Speaker 9] You're a good man.
And you're supposed to do a lot of good things.
- Thank you, that means a lot.
- You're such an amazing mom to Taylor and then to me
and I just...
It really means a lot that you're there for me.
- [Speaker 10] Aww, thank you.
I love you so much, thank you.
You made my day.
- I love you too, talk soon.
- [Speaker 10] Okay, bye. - Bye.
- [Interviewer 1] How did that feel?
- It felt incredible.
- I feel like I should do that more often.
Yeah, fact that she said it was gonna make her cry
just 'cause I said I love you.
It's kind of, I don't know.
Maybe if she heard it more
it wouldn't be as big of a surprise.
- I feel like you kind of sign off a lot of conversations
just saying, oh love you, bye.
But to call and be like, hey, I love you.
That's kind of special.
- I think that a lot of the time I call her and I ask
for things or I vent about my day.
I don't really just call her just to say, I love you.
I guess I always just fear that the relationship is worse
than what it is.
But my mom is the kind of person no matter what,
she'll always love her kids.
