(phone ringing)
- [Levi] What up?
- I just wanted to call and...
I'm not, I'm gonna get emotional.
And say, I love you.
(breathes out)
(inspirational music)
(spritzing)
- [Interviewer] Take out your phone please.
- Oh my gosh.
- Oh God.
- [Interviewer] Call someone and tell them
that you love them.
- Wait, that's so cute.
- Aww...
(sighs)
- Ooh...
(laughs)
- [Interviewer] Who are you gonna call?
- Let me check my phone.
- Oh, this is so hard to choose.
- Oh, not that person.
- I would say
my roommate.
(phone ringing)
- [Roommate] Hey, what's up?
- I love you.
- [Roommate] I'm so confused, are you dying?
- No, I'm not dying.
- I love you, cause you're my brother, man.
You've been there for me
you got my back and I got yours, man.
- [Brother] What's going on man?
You all right?
(laughs)
- You think I'm kidnapped, tied up, saying goodbye.
- I'm gonna call my mom.
- My mom.
- Mom.
- My gay mother.
- Of course I'm gonna call my mom.
We're all mama's boys.
(phone ringing)
- [Mom] Hello Alex, you need anything from Costco?
(laughs)
- No, I don't need anything from Costco, I'm good.
- I appreciate you, I love you.
Love you.
- [Mom] Okay, I love you too.
- I'm just calling to let you know that I love you.
- I love you.
- Love you.
- I love you.
- Mom, I was just calling to let you know that I love you.
- [Mom] What's the catch?
- I love you dearly and I miss you
and I'm so proud of everything that you're doing.
- [Mom] Thank you?
- Why?! Why was that a question?!
- I've loved you for all the times
that I've been not so great.
And you continue to love me anyway.
- [Mom] Yes,
unconditional love.
- Okay, don't shade me.
- [Mom] I love you even more
than you ever, ever, ever will know.
- Aw, mom.
- [Mom] Strong woman.
That's my daughter.
- Oh, I (bleep) hate y'all.
(laughs)
(phone ringing)
- I don't think she wants to talk to me.
- [Operator] Please leave your message for...
(phone ringing)
- [Mom] Hello?
- Hi, mommy.
I just called to tell you that I love you so much.
And I miss you.
- [Mom] Love you too.
(sniffs)
- Bye.
- [Interviewer] Why was that so emotional for you?
- I grew up without my mom for 13 years.
And I think for a long time,
I blamed her for not being there for me.
And it hasn't been until very recent
that I can hold onto that.
And like, I need to be grateful.
- [Interviewer] Call someone
and tell them that you love them.
- Who should I call?
- [Interviewer] Who needs to hear it?
- It's a good question.
- Ugh...
- Mmm...
- That makes it interesting.
- My heart just started going a little.
- I got one.
- I'm gonna call my dad.
- My dad.
- [Operator] Please leave your message for...
- This it's awkward.
- I would call my dead dad,
but that's like kinda weird.
And also probably someone else has his phone number by now.
- I'm gonna call my dad,
because we have kinda strained relationship.
There was a bunch of marital issues,
so it can be pretty resentful.
I haven't really told him that
I loved him, in years.
(phone ringing)
- [Dad] Hey, Buti!
I'm calling you to tell you that I love you.
And I do.
- [Dad] Whoa!
- Do you...
Do you have anything to say...
(laughs)
...to that?
- [Dad] Hmm...
I don't think I've heard you tell me that one for a while.
- Yeah.
- [Dad] I'm very happy to hear that.
I love you too.
- Love you too.
Woo.
- [Interviewer] Feeling okay?
- Yeah, I...
I just didn't really expect him to be emotional like that.
That felt good.
- When I was little,
my parents didn't say I love you a lot to me.
So, my parents and I wouldn't usually say I love you.
- [Interviewer] Do you tell people that you're close to,
that you love them?
- A hundred percent, except for my dad.
(laughs)
- [Interviewer] Why don't you...
- But I'm not (bleep) calling my dad, no way.
- [Interviewer] How do you think your dad would respond
if you told him you love him?
- He's probably like,
Oh, Evan all right, yeah.
I mean I'll do it like (bleep)
- [Interviewer] Put him on speaker, let's see what happens.
- Yeah, (bleep) it.
(phone ringing)
- [Dad] What's the dealio, Evan?
- What's up dad?
Going to call you and tell you I love you, dad.
- [Dad] Oh, that's so great Evan.
(laughs)
- [Dad] You hanging up?
- Ugh...
I'll talk to you later, dad.
- [Dad] Okay.
- All right.
You see how he doesn't say it back.
Yeah, he's just a goofball.
It's all good.
- [Interviewer] Call someone
and tell them that you loved them.
- I can call my best friend.
- My best friend.
- Very best friend.
- Abdul.
- Baxer. - Brandon.
- Chris. - Chichi.
- Maria. - Reina.
(phone ringing)
- [Operator] The mailbox is full
and cannot accept any message.
- Okay...
(laughing)
- [Operator] Your call ended...
Please leave your message.
Reach the voicemail box.
- Well, you son of a...
- People don't answer the phone anymore.
(laughs)
(bleeps)
- I love you, but you didn't pick up (bleep) the phone.
(laughing)
- I just wanted to say real quick, I love you.
I'm calling you, because I want to tell you that
I love you.
- [Woman] Oh...
(laughing)
Noura.
- I finally said it.
- I love you, I love you so much.
- [Woman] Aww...
I love you too.
This made my day.
- [Woman] I love you, because you love me.
Because of what you see.
And sometimes I don't see it in myself
and it makes me feel wonderful.
It just made my day, thank you.
- You're very welcome!
- I'm gonna call my best friend.
- [Dee] Hello.
- I love you, because you have been my go-to
and you're getting me emotional
and my number one forever.
(laughs)
- I really love you
and I just hope that you're doing great.
- [Woman] I'm making it, I miss you.
You're like my sister and one of my best friends,
all rolled into one.
And I love you.
I love you so much, you're making me cry.
- You still there, Dee?
- [Dee] Uh-huh.
I love you too.
- I'm gonna call Levi.
(phone ringing)
- [Levi] What up?
- I just wanted to call and...
I'm not, I'm gonna get emotional.
And say, I love you.
We're going through a lot right now,
our friend who's in a coma.
But I just want to call and tell you I love you.
- [Levi] Aww, I know.
I love, I love you too.
I mean, you've helped me out through so much, so.
- Likewise.
- [Interviewer] Why do you think telling somebody
we love them and like can stir up emotions?
- Because that's not an easy thing to
to feel or to say, it's hard to be vulnerable.
- [Interviewer] Who are you thinking about calling?
- One of my sisters...
- My sister.
- Sister.
(phone ringing)
- [Woman] Hello.
- Wanted to call you and tell you how much I love you.
How much I appreciate us, being able to reconnect
and like hash out our differences.
- [Woman] Look, this isn't an episode of
"This is Us", okay?
I don't...
(laughs)
- [Woman] I always got you. Don't doubt that.
- Oof, okay.
- [Woman] I love you.
- I love you too.
All right.
- I think I should call my brother.
- My brother.
- One of my brothers.
- Maybe my brother would like to hear that.
I love you.
- [Brother] I love you too.
(laughs)
- [Brother] Later, loser.
(beeping) (laughs)
- I'm gonna call him again.
How dare he do this?
Hey man, that was supposed to be like
a legit beautiful brother and sisterly moment.
- [Brother] Aww.
- What a mistake.
- I love you.
- [Man] I love you too.
It's nice to hear.
- You need to say that more often.
- [Man] I'mma to slip it into your calendar.
When you do anything that's in your calendar.
- Yes, I do.
- [Interviewer] Do you have any siblings?
- Ah, yeah. I have an older brother.
Actually, we don't
we don't talk every now and then.
I can call him.
(phone ringing)
- [Brother] Hey.
- Um, I just want to tell you, I love you dude.
I, I feel as if I don't say that enough
or we rarely say that.
- [Brother] Oh, that's cute.
(laughs)
Love you too man.
- [Interviewer] Did you think he'd react that way?
- My brother's someone who's like
not really the most outspoken in terms of what he's feeling.
And so, being at a point where I can actually hear him say
I love you back as opposed to him kind of ignoring it.
Yeah.
Ah, emotions.
- [Interviewer] Call someone
and tell them that you love them.
- Hmm.
- Oh, great.
- I know just exactly who to call.
(phone ringing)
- [Grandma] Well, hello there!
- Hey, Grandma.
It's Austin.
I love you grandma.
- [Grandma] I love you too.
Aww.
(laughs)
- [Grandma] This is so cool.
You can say it again.
(laughs)
- I love you.
- [Woman] Love you too.
Hearing your voice, it's appreciated.
- Uh-huh.
People text and do all that kind of stuff
and it's so impersonal to me.
- I'll make sure to call you more often, kay?
- [Woman] Alrighty.
- All right, love you.
- [Woman] Love you too.
- Bye.
- I'll call you back later.
- [Woman] I love you.
- I love you too.
- I love you.
- [Woman] Bye, I love you too.
- I love you, bye.
- [Man] Kay, bye.
- Bye.
- [Woman] See you soon, Okay?
- Okay,
Muah, I love you.
- [Interviewer] What'd that feel like?
- Much needed.
Like, I feel like we don't take enough time out
of our days to do something like that,
but I'm glad I did.
It sounded like she really needed it.
Oh God.
