So, I mean, like I never really knew what to expect coming into the show, but, um, during the show, Josh steps out and, and, um, pulls out a letter and, um, it's a letter that Josh, you'd written to yourself at a point in time we, uh, felt like ending things and spoke to about, um, how much life there was still to live if I'm not mistaken.

The Imperfects
