The University of Utah has recently installed a cry closet.

0:04.0

This is a small booth that you can go inside, cry for about 10 minutes, there's stuffed animals,

0:10.4

and they say it's for students who are stressed out because of finals, but the story is actually

0:15.9

a little bit more complicated than just a safe space at a university. Now a lot of people have

0:21.6

said that college students are being pampered, they're being overly protected, people refer to them

0:25.7

as little snowflakes, because universities are not allowing certain people to come speak,

0:30.8

1:28.0

better for the world, safer for the environment, and a portion of all proceeds are donated to those

1:33.1

in need. We constantly hear that advertisers don't want to be involved in news and politics and

1:39.0

commentary, and we all know that's not true. So when Frey steps up and says we respect what you do,

1:44.7

we find it very valuable, and we too can see the value in sponsoring your channel. It just makes me

1:50.0

feel that much better, that what I'm doing is a totally important and normal thing. So to everyone
