<v Speaker 1>Botanical Gardens.

0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Really really struck a chord with a lot of our listeners.

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, I was reading the textboard and like

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm scrolling right now and there's at least like five.

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 4>People asking for Vanessa's number.

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god.

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay, and then no, I love these one says I've

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 3>never done that in a botanical garden, but I did

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 3>get a chick in a park. Oh okay, a lovely

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 3>park out here, and this one is a good one.

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Brook and Jeffrey.

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 3>I had a very successful hookup in the men's bathroom

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 3>at the Botanic Gardens. Unfortunately it was interrupted by another

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 3>man and his kid coming into the bathroom, so my

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 3>boyfriend and I had to run out while he was

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 3>in the toilet.

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>It was sexy, though none of that sounds sexy to me,

0:00:57.800 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>but I'm just gonna have to take your word for it.

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Disturbing so much was going down at the Botanical Garden.

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 4>TAA gardens parks.

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I can never look at them the same anymore?

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 4>Or kid?

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>What?

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 5>All right, Hey, we.

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Love your comments. Leave them off with this one too.

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>It's your brand new textual healing starting right now.

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 5>We've all seen the YouTube videos of city council meetings

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 5>where a bunch of stuffy up type people are discussing

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 5>things like traffic signs and size restrictions on your trash

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 5>cand lids.

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Yea, I usually don't hit play on those, but okay, yeah.

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, fair. They do get pretty boring and sometimes one

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 5>email can help spice things up a little bit. And

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 5>oh boy, did that happen at an HOA meeting recently?

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 5>One sassy email has sparked a very awkward situation between neighbors.

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 5>And now we're getting roped into the drama. You're gonna

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 5>hear the shady text that started it all in a

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:08.639
<v Speaker 5>brand new textual healing that's coming up next. Text you

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 5>will heal then textual It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 5>And we are not doctors, no, at least not the

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 5>licensed kind, but we do have the ability to heal

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:27.080
<v Speaker 5>people textually, Yes, we do, because this is textual healing

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 5>where we help out our listeners who are stuck in

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 5>an awkward or difficult situation where they have to text

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 5>someone but don't know exactly what to say. We'll work

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 5>with you to craft the perfect message.

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're kind of like that back alley clinic that

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>you get botox from.

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 5>I don't know what clinics you like to visit, Brooke.

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>But I'm just thinking of the doctor analogy.

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 5>Sorry, you don't believe in doctors. Yeah, but perfect message

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.519
<v Speaker 5>is kind of the strong word for it. A workable

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 5>one is what we're after here. Something that helps achieve

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 5>what you want while hopefully preserving your dignity in the process.

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 5>And writers block for text messaging.

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, good analogy.

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I should have gone with that one instead of

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 5>the doctors chat GPT when you have exactly We've got

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 5>a woman on the phone looking for some tender textual

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 5>healing today. Her name is Samantha. So, Samantha, welcome to

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 5>the show.

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 6>He there.

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 5>Did you specifically ask for tender or is that a

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 5>jeff thing?

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think she appreciates it.

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 5>I mean we like to start tender and gentle, and

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 5>then we can get firmer and more aggressive as this

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 5>goes on. But let's start by having you tell us

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 5>what your situation is, Samantha, and how we can help

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 5>heal you. Textually, I screwed.

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 6>Up big time, totally, totally. I'm on an h A board,

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 6>So you know what that's like.

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, volunteered to be on the board.

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 6>What was I thinking?

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 5>You were chasing? The power that comes with it is

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 5>a lot of power.

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 2>You needed to have called us before you made that choice.

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 5>Okay, so something involving your.

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 6>Well, what happened was we have this one board member

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 6>and he does these lengthy, long winded wordy emails that

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 6>go on and on and on and on. You know,

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 6>I get to the point, make it short and simple.

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 6>I screamshotted one and I put a caption on it.

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 6>It said, will someone please take his keyboard away? Exclamation point.

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 6>I was going to send it to another board member

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 6>that we both kind of had this like running joke there,

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 6>but it went to the entire complex.

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 1>No, there even people who were on the h A board.

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 6>Yes, yes, including the person that I was referring to.

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.720
<v Speaker 2>My goodness, oh, and is it too late to say

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>you got hacked? Okay, very specific joke.

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah yeah, I mean what were the emotions that you

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 5>were feeling when you realized you had sent it out

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:12.359
<v Speaker 5>to the entire complex?

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 6>It was like, oh, you said that, my heart sunk

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 6>and tell.

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 5>Us that story?

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>What did I do?

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I feel really bad? And I mean it

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 6>was like, I think I first noticed it when I

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 6>started getting these emojiss Oh I got, I got the

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.240

<v Speaker 1>were talking about right back?

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 6>No? No, nothing from him, But I mean I'm sure

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 6>he read it.

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:58.239
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So obviously that's a really awkward situation to find

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.960

<v Speaker 6>I mean, I want to apologize. I want to take

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 6>accountability to what I did.

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>So we're going to be texting him.

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.520

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 5>Okay, yeah, Okay, we'll make sure. Don't you sure you

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 5>don't want to double down on what you said in

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 5>a joke?

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 4>Breaking his house steels laptop if you prefer.

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you think we follow it up where you just

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.039
<v Speaker 1>text him a thing like it's the second part of

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>your joke. It's like, would somebody take this keyboard away

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and give this guy a microphone?

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, MVP with a little gold star more for.

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 6>God?

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 5>Has anyone in the room actually had a situation like

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 5>this happened where you accidentally sent out a mass email

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 5>with something incriminating in it.

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.279
<v Speaker 1>I accidentally was talking crap about my sister to my

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>mom and I didn't know she was on the email thread.

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.479
<v Speaker 5>Okay, and what did you do in that situation?

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Bro? I immediately called and apologized.

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 5>Okay, we're not calling it. Yeah, do a call.

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean she was mad at me for a while.

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 5>Can we take any lessons from what you said and

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 5>apply it to this situation?

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think the lesson is you just have

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to know that you're in the wrong, like that you messed.

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 5>Up, So tell the guy he messed up wrong. No, okay,

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 5>she needs to accept accountability. How does she say that? Though?

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 2>What are you most worried about?

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 1>You're worried about hurting his feelings or you're worried about

0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>it being awkward?

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 2>With him later, like are you even sorry for what

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 2>you said? Or you just sorry that you got caught?

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 6>Well, you know, it's something I would have said to

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 6>a friend, like oh here he goes again. Yeah, I

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 6>mean I do want to apologize. I didn't mean to

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 6>pray a joke at his expense.

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Right right, right, or embarrass him in front of other people,

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>right and exactly?

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 5>Okay, you give advice in her own words, But you're

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 5>the age away. Aren't you supposed to sound boring? Like

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 5>aren't you supposed to start with like you may have

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 5>been at tentative to a text message yesterday. Yeah, I

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 5>think in most situations that would apply. But for this,

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 5>we're gonna have to be a little bit heartfelt, something sincere,

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 5>and make it seem like she really means it. So

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 5>what we have to start crafting?

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 6>Now?

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 5>What are we going to type to this guy?

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I think the first thing you need to do is

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>figure out if he saw it.

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>You need to say, oh my god, I accidentally send

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 1>an email to everyone.

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Did you see it?

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 5>Pretty interesting email thread we had yesterday? Huh? I like

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 5>that that's just fishing around. You're not even pointed with it.

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 5>I kind of like that, what do you think.

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 6>Samantha, You know, I just know that if I call

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:33.959
<v Speaker 6>attention to it, even if he didn't see it, then

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 6>he's gonna go love.

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.440
<v Speaker 5>Then he will go yeah, those.

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 4>Have you had a chance to check your why?

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 5>And then he goes to chat And honestly, maybe that's

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:43.320
<v Speaker 5>what he needs, and maybe you.

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Could play it off as a joke if he has

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>seen it. It's like, oh, I was actually gonna send

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>that just to you, like it was going to be

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 1>an inside joke between you two, but I accidentally send

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 1>it to everybody.

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 5>I like that, Samantha. I think you gotta go with

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 5>that one.

0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 6>Okay, let's see.

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, maybe start with, hey, did you see

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the email yesterday that everybody's don't say that.

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 5>Everybody everybody's laughing at you. Honestly, I liked Jose's thing,

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 5>be like, whoa pretty crazy text thread that the group

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:13.720
<v Speaker 5>had going yesterday.

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe something to lighten it, like what about a yike's

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 1>face that's actually not the big eyes.

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.559
<v Speaker 5>That's accepting some responsibility. Let's start writing that, Okay, Samantha.

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, every time I hear about Hy's I'm so glad

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I've never lived with one.

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 5>Samantha, did you send it?

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, how are you feeling?

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 6>I'm nervous about okah.

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 5>Sometime we have to just react to whatever he says.

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 6>Now I wanted to answer or not.

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 5>He doesn't, but just double checking you did send it

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 5>to him and not to the.

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, learned.

0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.559
<v Speaker 5>I think. So we've ripped the band aid off. We've

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 5>started the initial stages of our apology. Will come back

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 5>and continue it with more textual healing to the weird

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 5>guy from HOA. Right after this hold on, we're in

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:14.200
<v Speaker 5>the middle of textual healing with our listener, Samantha, who's

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 5>trying to fix a big whoopsie that she made because

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 5>she's on an HOA board with one particularly passionate member

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 5>who writes super long winded, detailed emails.

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 7>It's just kind of a lot, yes, generally very on

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 7>top of things, too much so, so she basically screenshoted

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 7>one of his longer messages and put a caption on

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.959
<v Speaker 7>it saying, well, someone please take his keyboard away, and.

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 5>Meant to send it to just one of her friends,

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 5>didn't realize it went out to the whole group, including

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 5>the guy that she was poking fun at. Pretty much accident.

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.560
<v Speaker 5>Now she feels terrible about it, wants to apologize to

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 5>him and make it right, but have it come across

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.079
<v Speaker 5>soundings and see her and not just performative. So we suggested,

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.840
<v Speaker 5>why not gauge and just see if he even saw

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.439
<v Speaker 5>it first. So we put out a feeler text that said,

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 5>Yike's pretty crazy. What was happening in the HOA textraad yesterday? Huh,

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 5>just to see if he knew what we were talking about.

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I am like, actually nervous about what he's going to say.

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Mad.

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Well, we don't even know if he did respond,

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 5>so let's find out. Samantha, did you get a message

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:22.839
<v Speaker 5>back from the dude?

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 6>Sure?

0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 4>Did like that?

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 5>What did it say?

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 6>It is? Yeah? I guess from now on I will

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 6>keep my emails under twelve paragraphs for you. I'll then

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 6>signed it with a middle finger emoji.

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 5>Oh kidding at first?

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I thought he was taking constructive criticism.

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.559
<v Speaker 3>Well, okay, that was a sarcastic twelve paragraph dude.

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry he's still kidding. But the middle fingers back

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:53.679
<v Speaker 5>out of.

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 2>All the emojis, that is the most aggressive.

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, we've never suggested anyone to use it

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 5>on here. Yeah, we suggest did a lot of emojis

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:01.719
<v Speaker 5>for people to.

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.720
<v Speaker 4>Type out, so we should suggest it more.

0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.319
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he's saying you're number one, and he's.

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 5>Okay, I mean, how are you taking his text Samantha?

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 6>I mean I feel bad. It's like I really need

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 6>to definitely go in with the full apologies. Okay, Okay,

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 6>I got yeah, I gotta, I gotta do it.

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I think it's more important that you just

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:39.439
<v Speaker 5>come across with something pretty sincere about like I'm super sorry.

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 5>And maybe you could even compliment him to try and backtrack.

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean you can't.

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 2>You can't do an honest compliment. You can say like.

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 6>You take a lot of time to do the email.

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 1>And we appreciate the passion that you have. You're one

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.959
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons this place is running so well.

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:02.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I have a secret crush on you. Well, you know,

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:04.720
<v Speaker 5>let's find the line you keep me running to.

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, start with your own apology. I think that has

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to be in your words.

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, Well, I definitely like the thing about like

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:13.559
<v Speaker 6>you do a good job and you put a lot

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 6>into it. Shows. It's just sometimes if they're long.

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.559
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, and then you say it what a jerk.

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 2>You are, and I am such a jerk. I didn't

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 2>mean for everyone to see that.

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I like that.

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 5>Okay, so why don't you let's send the apology text

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 5>and hopefully that'll help soften him a little bit.

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, dude, you're about to get so many A two

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 1>A fines if this doesn't go.

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 5>He's going to be all over your property with like

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 5>measuring tape, taking photos and everything is there while we're

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 5>waiting for him. Is there any other gesture you can do?

0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.040
<v Speaker 5>Are you a good like baker or like you could

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 5>you drop cookies off? Yeah, that's like kind of neighborly.

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:54.800
<v Speaker 6>That's a good idea.

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.559
<v Speaker 5>That's what you meant hand gestures that you could do back.

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, okay, wait wait wait it's popped.

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 5>Okay, it popped bubbles? Oh okay, pop pop.

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 6>Okay, Okay, here's what he says, wrote something, Go ahead.

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 6>I showed your text to my therapist.

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 5>Oh no, it.

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 6>Says I have a tendency to trust loud women with

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 6>wine breasts, So it makes sense.

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 4>What what?

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Wait?

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.240
<v Speaker 2>I highly doubt a therapist said that.

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. He's trying to yeah, yeah, to make you feel

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 6>It's like.

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 1>A passive aggressive insult to her that she drinks too

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:46.480
<v Speaker 1>much wine and that.

0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 6>She's maybe I should get him a bottle of wine.

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 5>That's funny, but clearly his feelings were hurt by it.

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.640
<v Speaker 5>So he's taking whatever chance that he can to get

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 5>out his emotions and try.

0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 2>And get even jump out a wine bandwagon. And you're right,

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 2>I was drunk.

0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's actually honestly, Yeah.

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 6>I love it. I love it.

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:09.960
<v Speaker 5>That'd be a good way to disarm him, because he

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 5>can't be mad at you if you're literally taking what

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 5>he's giving you.

0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 6>So I admit it. I had to make.

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 5>A ten am text and you can even do a

0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:25.160
<v Speaker 5>little wine glass emoji. But I think afterwards, really double

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 5>down on the apology, like seriously though, like I do

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 5>sincerely apologize. I feel terrible.

0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.360
<v Speaker 6>Threw it up and I feel really bad.

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 5>I think a lot of people feel you. But so

0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 5>you sent the text, Yeah, I got it.

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 6>Great, So okay, let's see how this one goes over.

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Is there anyone that everyone on the HA hates, you know,

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 1>sometimes everybody needs a common enemy.

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:47.320
<v Speaker 4>Or is it him?

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:47.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if if he.

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't like someone, you should say you wouldn't believe the

0:15:52.120 --> 0:16:00.920
<v Speaker 1>meme I sent about Lois or you know, wants.

0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 5>To start like high school drama and keep the guy

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:04.760
<v Speaker 5>sip going. You want to talk to cry about somebody.

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 6>There isn't enough drama on these boards anyhow.

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 5>We're trying to put out the flames here. So are

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 5>you seeing anything from him?

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 6>It's mate here it is.

0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 5>We're getting pops.

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 2>See what we got, she says, Okay.

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 5>We love what a picture with the flip phone.

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 6>For some reason, in all honesty, I showed my wife

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 6>and she kind of agreed with you.

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 2>That's a sweet response from him. He's actually coming to

0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:38.120
<v Speaker 2>the middle.

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 6>But I did not expect that, So don't feel bad.

0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.600
<v Speaker 6>I'm sticking to bullet points from now on.

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 2>That guy came from the middle finger back to this.

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. I think this is success, definite least success.

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and he took your constructive criticism on his long

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 5>winded email to his wife.

0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:03.840
<v Speaker 4>He's probably so happy he's gonna stop emailing.

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 5>Ye oh my okay, So I feel like at this

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 5>point we're good.

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:08.239
<v Speaker 6>You shut up.

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Now you need to write her back one more time.

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I just say, yeah, I'll be dropping off a bottle

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 1>of wine for you and your wife.

0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:16.400
<v Speaker 2>You should still do you know what I mean.

0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:18.639
<v Speaker 6>I definitely will do that, definitely.
