It's Jay, I don't know what your day's been like. But I was just thinking about you for a minute. And I hope you're being a little patient with yourself. You deserve it.

And Yeah. I'll show T shit. Your fear of being judged is the reason you feel lonely. Hear me out.

Have you ever noticed how strange it is that making friends used to be one of the easiest things we did? And now it feels like one of the hardest. When you were six years old, friendship required almost zero strategy. You sat next to someone in class. Play on the same soccer team, liked the same cartoons, or traded snacks at lunch.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is 1 credit.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (31 minutes, 4,962 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
