T-Mobile is spotlighting a relatable quirk of texting conversations in the first of its four Super Bowl ads.

The 30-second spot, titled “We’ll Keep This Brief,” features a phone messaging window with someone named Cathy, who responds to a simple “what’s up” with an endless philosophical rumination on her life.
