This is a YouTube video titled "What Is the Dark Night of the Soul? - Eckhart Tolle Explains" containing a spoken explanation about the collapse of life's meaning due to unforeseen disasters or events. The excerpt features a single speaker discussing existential themes, likely Eckhart Tolle, given the title and context, but it is not a multi-speaker conversation.
You had built up your life and given it meaning and the meaning that you had given your life. This is what my life is about. Your activities, your achievements, where you're going, what is considered important and the. So the meaning that you had given your life, for some reason collapses. So, as I said, it can happen if something happens that you can't explain away anymore, some disaster which seems to invalidate the meaning that your life had before.
