    This week, Nins unexpectedly develops Bieber fever after hearing Justin Bieber’s “EVERYTHING HALLELUJAH” and spirals into a wildly emotional deep dive on healing, fame, survival, gratitude, and brushing your teeth while depressed. Meanwhile, Arns revisits Disney’s Lilo & Stitch (2002) and fully crumbles over found family, loneliness, belonging, and the devastating realization that Stitch just wanted to know he deserved love, too.  Basically: two stories about choosing joy anyway.

    046: harry baker, heated rivalry, & loving so much it hurts

    This week, Arns unpacks “Sunflowers” by Harry Baker and spirals through grief, funerals, and the terrifying urgency of being alive right now. Meanwhile, Nins dives headfirst into Heated Rivalry, the wildly beloved hockey romance series full of yearning, emotional repression, devastating tension, and men gazing heavily at each other instead of going to therapy. Basically: two stories about loving people so much it hurts.

    045: "st. clarity" by the paper kites & an emotional birth story

    This week, Nins & Arns drift through “St. Clarity” by The Paper Kites, emotional healing, pregnancy, childbirth, and the strangely beautiful process of becoming someone new. Nins gets lost in the dreamy stillness of “St. Clarity” by The Paper Kites, reflecting on the song’s peaceful atmosphere, quiet emotional weight, and the ripple effects our actions leave behind long after a moment has passed. Arns shares her birth story—from pregnancy fears and labor pain to the surreal feeling of meeting her daughter for the first time, and realizing that childbirth doesn’t just bring a new person into the world…it births a new version of you, too. This episode explores vulnerability, memory, identity, family, healing, motherhood, and the small moments that permanently shape who we become.

    044: filipino american smithsonian exhibit & what fighting revealed about my marriage

    This week, Arns visits the Smithsonian exhibition How Can You Forget Me: Filipino American Stories and reflects on Filipino migration, generational memories, family sacrifice, and the emotional weight of the objects and stories we leave behind. From ornate steamer trunks to embroidered pillowcases, the exhibit unveils deeper questions about identity, belonging, and what survives across time. Nins gets painfully honest about a recent fight with her husband—one that slowly unraveled into a weighted conversation about communication, emotional needs, vulnerability, and the intimacy of truly understanding each other after conflict (and, of course, past life regressions). This episode explores marriage, family history, cultural identity, legacy, emotional repair, conflict, and the ways we try to love each other better even when it gets messy.

    042: the weirdly specific things that make us cry

    This week is a chaotic emotional spiral through all the oddly specific things that make people cry. Nins and Arns pull different “cry categories” out of a jar and unpack the videos, memories, fears, therapy breakthroughs, celebrity interviews, childhood movies, random scents, and late-night TikToks that destroyed them emotionally. What starts as a silly little game quickly turns into an honest conversation about vulnerability, nostalgia, healing, growing up, and why the smallest moments somehow hit the hardest. From emotional texts from parents to irrational childhood fears that still linger into adulthood, this episode explores the deeply human experience of crying over the most unexpected, nonsensical things. If you’ve ever sobbed because of a smell, a Disney movie scene, or a TikTok at 2AM, this one’s for you. 0:00 - Preview0:36 - Intro1:21 - Introducing: cry categories3:19 - Sob story: Ms. Darla9:43 - #1: celebrity interview moments19:11 - #2: TikTok trends22:10 - #3: realizations in therapy27:17 - #4: scents31:02 - #5: childhood films35:46 - #6: text from a parent39:05 - #7: irrational fears from childhood41:35 - OutroReferenced in this episode: Jay Shetty Podcast | Emma WatsonVogue | Ariana Grande's GRWMWOODY FM x LISA | Most Exclusive Talk Ever in Thailand"tiktoks that make me cry" (TikTok: @brbcrying.podcast)the "last time" trend (IG: @nhutella_)Mulan's decisionMulan | emperor's speechAnastasia | Journey to the Past Join the brb crying community—a heartfelt, cozy comedy podcast about friendship, vulnerability, emotional storytelling, and all the movies, books, music, and life experiences that leave us in tears.

    041: f1 champion lando norris, titanic, & the dreams that carry us forward

    This week, Arns unpacks the emotional aftermath of Lando Norris’ Formula 1 championship win—from childhood karting dreams and impossible pressure to the vulnerable reality of finally achieving the thing you’ve chased your entire life. Nins revisits Titanic (1997), reflecting on doomed love, immigrant hope, class inequality, and the devastating humanity at the center of James Cameron’s iconic film. Also featuring emotional listener stories from crybabies Nadene and Glenci, plus a reminder that every immigrant deserves dignity, compassion, and care.

    040: how to end a love story (yulin kuang) + the women (kristin hannah) on grief, love, & healing

    In this Valentine's Day collaboration with A Novel Affair Romance Bookstore, Nins & Arns discuss two completely different novels—a contemporary romance and a Vietnam War novel—that somehow arrive at the exact same conclusion about self-love, healing, and forgiveness. First, Nins dives into How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang, a romance about grief, guilt, vulnerability, self-worth, and the fear of being truly known by another person. Then, Arns explores The Women by Kristin Hannah, a bestselling historical fiction novel following an army nurse during the Vietnam War as she navigates trauma, friendship, resilience, PTSD, and the difficult journey of rebuilding a life after war. Though completely different premises, both books ultimately ask the same question: How do we learn to love ourselves after heartbreak? In this episode, we discuss: • How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang • The Women by Kristin Hannah • Romance novels and contemporary fiction • Historical fiction and the Vietnam War • Grief, trauma, healing, and self-forgiveness • PTSD and mental health representation • Friendship, resilience, and emotional recovery • Book recommendations that made us cry • Valentine's Day reading recommendations • Self-love and personal growth If you love emotional books, book club discussions, literary deep dives, BookTok favorites, romance novels, or stories that stay with you long after the final page, this episode is for you.
