00:00What does this mean?
00:02I don't understand what you're doing.
00:04The emoji, when you smile and do this.
00:07What's the context?
00:09Oh, never mind.
00:10Come on, Mom. Just tell me.
00:11Well, it's something that felt rather sincere.
00:14Who sent it to you?
00:16It's an undercut. It undercuts the meaning of the message, right?
00:19Could be.
00:19Or it could simultaneously reinforce the message.
00:22Or it's a dare.
00:24How?
00:25You know if you're, like, texting with someone, right?
00:27Say they, like, open a door to something,
00:28but then they're scared, so they undercut it with the emoji to make it safe.
00:32Like, I love you. LOL.
00:34Like, now they haven't really said it,
00:35and as a result, they've put it all in your court.
00:37My court.
00:38And then it's on you to find out if they really meant what they said.
00:40People are fearful.
00:43Mm-hmm.
00:46Oh, why are you being so nice to me?
00:49Are you going running?
00:52Obviously.
00:53Obviously.
01:12Oh, shit.
01:20Motherfucker.
01:21Poured everything for your own sake.
01:22Oh, hi.
01:24Flo told me you were meeting.
01:25Were you looking for me?
01:26No, actually.
01:27I was looking for, um, to schedule our subcommittee
01:29since we had to cancel last night.
01:31Oh, sorry.
01:32I had a therapist's appointment.
01:34Yeah, apparently I don't know how to read the shared calendar.
01:36Um, let's talk.
01:38Us?
01:38Yeah.
01:39Oh.
01:39We can keep checking in, okay?
01:41Yeah.
01:41Yeah.
01:42Thanks, David.
01:44Do you want to just bang out the dates now, or...?
01:47Um...
01:55Later.
01:56When can I find you?
01:57I have a lot of emails.
01:59All right, David.
02:00Excuse me.
02:01Okay.
02:04I just need to get him alone, and then I'll know.
02:07Is the door, as they say, open?
02:12Open.
02:17Open.
02:18Open.
02:18Open.
