Speaker 2: school gymnasium, and now she needs our help before this
Speaker 2: chance disappears.
Speaker 1: Forever got to be the janitor.
Speaker 4: We'll find out.

Speaker 2: little awkward in a brand new textual healing that's coming

Speaker 2: the places that we want you to put your fingers,
Speaker 2: maybe the number one place is on your phone.

Speaker 2: write to somebody in their life. We'll work with you
Speaker 2: to come up with something passable.
Speaker 4: That is our vow to you.
Speaker 1: I have a standard. I saw you're going to say
Speaker 1: something passive aggressive, which I'm like, that's also probably true.
Speaker 4: That's always on the table for us.
Speaker 2: And which listener has emailed the show today requesting our
Speaker 2: gentle textual touch. Her name is Misty, So let's welcome
Speaker 2: or Misty, welcome to the Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 5: Hi, thank you so much.

Speaker 4: Good, Nisty.
Speaker 2: So tell us what may you email the show? And
Speaker 2: how can we help heal you textually?
Speaker 5: Okay? So I want to send a text to my
Speaker 5: daughter's teacher.
Speaker 1: Daughter's teacher. Yeah, be awkward.
Speaker 5: It's a little awkward. So here's the lowdown. So my
Speaker 5: daughter is graduating elementary school. She's in fifth grade.
Speaker 4: Don't cry. Don't cry. It happens to every child I know.
Speaker 4: To be there to cry.
Speaker 5: I'm doing my best, but I am a little bit
Speaker 5: happy about it because I had to go to the
Speaker 5: school to help decorate for an event, and one of
Speaker 5: her teachers was there and we kind of like had
Speaker 5: a moment.
Speaker 2: We're good at that moment with what type of Yeah,
Speaker 2: describe this moment to us and don't spare any details.
Speaker 5: We were we were just decorating together and we started
Speaker 5: really hitting it off and we had a lot of
Speaker 5: common and we we had like sort of a heart
Speaker 5: to heart situation where it got like a little deeper
Speaker 5: than a teacher conversation, like some chemistry in there.
Speaker 1: I've gone out drinking with some of my kids parents
Speaker 1: or kids teachers, you know, like chemistry, but like you
Speaker 1: can be friends or just people, right, Is that what
Speaker 1: you mean?
Speaker 2: Enough with how Brooke alienates herself at her children's school,
Speaker 2: Let's talk more to Misty here, hang out, mister, give
Speaker 2: us what's the lowdown with this teacher?
Speaker 4: Are we talking guy?
Speaker 2: Girl?
Speaker 4: Married? Single? What's the situation?
Speaker 2: Not?
Speaker 1: That's what Alexis wants to know.
Speaker 5: So he is a guy, he's single. I am divorced
Speaker 5: as of like a little over a year.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, that's a good time to start dating, right sing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I don't know, I'm just like kind of
Speaker 5: ready to get back out there. And I feel like
Speaker 5: we have this moment and I need you guys to
Speaker 5: help me craft a text to this teacher because I
Speaker 5: am way too embarrassed at him.
Speaker 4: Wait. Wait, do you feel like there was a little
Speaker 4: bit of flirting.
Speaker 3: You want us to crap a text to push it
Speaker 3: into flirt mode or like, hey, I'm throwing the vibe out.
Speaker 5: Yeah. And I think it's a really good time too,
Speaker 5: because I didn't want to get involved with anything that
Speaker 5: matter while my daughter was still at school. It would
Speaker 5: have been really awkward. And now that she's graduating, I
Speaker 5: feel like it's good timing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, your daughter would have got better grades in school though,
Speaker 2: if you're dating back.
Speaker 4: But that's fine if you want to avoid the awkwardness.
Speaker 1: The thing is is you don't want to come off
Speaker 1: as like a divorce mom hitting on the hot teacher.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just am thinking that he gets it
Speaker 1: all the time, and I'm not saying don't do it.
Speaker 1: It's just that I could see better than the rest
Speaker 1: of the divorce Yeah.
Speaker 4: Okay, So what's this teacher's name.
Speaker 5: The teacher's name is Nick. Nick.
Speaker 2: Okay, so what do we write to Nick to put
Speaker 2: it out there that now that her daughter is going
Speaker 2: to be graduating from elementary school.
Speaker 4: She is open for business.
Speaker 3: Interesting start, it would be to compliment him about how
Speaker 3: well he taught her daughter, like you mentioned the kid.
Speaker 4: I think it's a good thought, Jose.
Speaker 2: But then she then she comes off as like the
Speaker 2: mom to the daughter and he's the teacher, like you
Speaker 2: solidifies that relationship exactly.
Speaker 1: You're re establishing the professional part.
Speaker 2: We need to bring out her sexual side. Yeah, now,
Speaker 2: Brook you.
Speaker 1: I don't know they were decorating that gym.
Speaker 4: Did you like my balloons? Oh?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, if you like a restraining order to put against
Speaker 2: you that one.
Speaker 1: I think honestly, you just start with something really simple,
Speaker 1: like I had so much fun with you the other day.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, that situation happened like a few months ago.
Speaker 5: I seed him a lot because I'm like involved in
Speaker 5: the classroom. But that was like a moment that happened
Speaker 5: a little while ago.
Speaker 1: Okay, what about you just hold on.
Speaker 2: Let's hear what Alexis would say. What would your mom
Speaker 2: say to one of your teachers?
Speaker 5: I don't want to know know what Barb would do?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, maybe you text bargain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can get her advice on it while we
Speaker 2: what we brainstorm some more.
Speaker 1: What if you just okay, because it is kind of
Speaker 1: out of the blue, right, like you haven't talked about
Speaker 1: hanging out outside of school, can you just start with
Speaker 1: I have a crazy idea?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like I like the idea brook of leaving
Speaker 2: it open ended where it's like I have a big
Speaker 2: question to ask, or like I have a crazy idea,
Speaker 2: something that's going to get him interested and make him respond,
Speaker 2: and we exactly we need him to respond.
Speaker 4: So that would be perfect.
Speaker 5: Then if it goes bad, you could just say a
Speaker 5: class pizza party.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to keep the eject button on the
Speaker 2: table though, No.
Speaker 3: Alexandra, we should have a backup an eject button.
Speaker 4: Ready. How do you feel about that, Misty?
Speaker 5: No, that sounds good. That sounds like like a neutral
Speaker 5: in Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, other divorced moms in your school are thinking this way.
Speaker 2: So let's start typing something out.
Speaker 5: So I'm putting I have a crazy idea, and I'm
Speaker 5: gonna say I feel like we no, no, no.
Speaker 4: On the table.
Speaker 1: No, that's it. That's all you say.
Speaker 5: Does I have a crazy idea? Period?
Speaker 2: No? Dot dot Yeah, I've been I've been thinking about
Speaker 2: something for a while, and I have a crazy idea
Speaker 2: dot dot dot dot.
Speaker 1: Any emojis or even that like little excited kind of
Speaker 1: blushy persons. Okay, to leave it to Jack Button, senior citizen.
Speaker 4: Grandma, all right, so let's not do that.
Speaker 3: We could just send the grandma mode.
Speaker 1: My mom sent sensual lips for a long time, thinking
Speaker 1: that they were just regular kisses.
Speaker 2: So, okay, reinforcing emojis are a bad idea. Let's just
Speaker 2: go emoji liss on this one.
Speaker 5: Okay, got it? Should I send it?
Speaker 1: Yes, let's go.
Speaker 5: Okay, I sent it.
Speaker 1: All right, you're freaking out. You don't need to freak
Speaker 1: out yet.
Speaker 4: That's not what we wanted to say. We got her.
Speaker 4: You're gonna be fine. We've ripped the band aid off.
Speaker 2: Now we just have to wait and see if teacher
Speaker 2: Nick responds to you. When we come back and continue
Speaker 2: with more textual healing. Try to score you a date right.
Speaker 1: After this textual healing one A one, Jeff, that's right, we're.
Speaker 4: Doing it right after this.
Speaker 2: If you're just joining us, we're in the middle of
Speaker 2: textual healing. Talking to a mom whose daughter is about
Speaker 2: to graduate from elementary school. She's been divorced for about
Speaker 2: a year now and felt like she had a moment
Speaker 2: with her daughter's teacher while they were setting up decorations
Speaker 2: at school together. Teachers also single. Yeah, and she has
Speaker 2: now come to us asking for help because her daughter
Speaker 2: isn't going to be going to school there soon once
Speaker 2: she graduates, and now she's trying to put out the
Speaker 2: vibe over text that she is interested.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if this works out and you bring
Speaker 1: home your daughter's fifth grade teacher as your boyfriend.
Speaker 5: I mean, missy, that's the dream, right, It is kind
Speaker 5: of the dream I'm not going to I.
Speaker 1: Mean, you know, he's good with kids and he can
Speaker 1: help with all her homework that you don't get.
Speaker 3: Vibes down. But remember we're still talking to a guy.
Speaker 3: It is hard for us to know when girls are
Speaker 3: hitting on us, So we're gonna have to spell this
Speaker 3: out and.
Speaker 2: Be creative, especially teachers who always want to keep it
Speaker 2: professional whenever they're talking to parents, so there's a little
Speaker 2: bit of an.
Speaker 4: Extra barrier there.
Speaker 2: We've already sent one text that said I've been thinking
Speaker 2: about something for a while and I have a crazy
Speaker 2: idea dot dot tell us.
Speaker 1: He responded, please okay, so, he said.
Speaker 5: He responded, he said, hey, best room mom in the world,
Speaker 5: love to hear it. Dot dot what you got?
Speaker 4: Okay, school, he called.
Speaker 1: He still thinks that her idea is going to be
Speaker 1: like a pizza party, like you said, Alexa and Jeff.
Speaker 4: Maybe he can't assume he's a teacher. He can't go like, yeah,
Speaker 4: he's her.
Speaker 2: Maybe pizza parties are his love language though, so we're
Speaker 2: still he is, you know, he's an elementary school guy.
Speaker 4: After you.
Speaker 1: Well, I think right now you need to establish that
Speaker 1: you're not talking as the room mom right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a room pair.
Speaker 1: And I get it. You know, you need to be like, actually,
Speaker 1: this idea is for outside the classroom.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm taking my room mom clothes off.
Speaker 3: Slowly.
Speaker 1: I think you say, hat just one article of clothing.
Speaker 2: Okay, so maybe that's a good way to start. Actually,
Speaker 2: I'm taking my room mom hat off right now, and.
Speaker 1: My idea is for outside the classroom.
Speaker 4: Yes, I actually like this.
Speaker 5: Okay, gotcha?
Speaker 3: Should we do emoji? Is there like a celebration emoji
Speaker 3: like where they're blowing up.
Speaker 1: Oh, sexy red lady dance emoji?
Speaker 4: What about just the smirk? Maybe like smirky guys.
Speaker 3: That Yeah, what do you think, miss full purple devil?
Speaker 3: But it's flirty, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay, I like, Okay, go ahead and send that.
Speaker 1: This work makes up for the hat comment.
Speaker 4: Yes, it makes it sexyer. I'm a mom, but I'm
Speaker 4: a fun mom. Yeah, so there we go.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, I said it.
Speaker 1: My god, you can't go back from sir emoji. No
Speaker 1: you can't.
Speaker 4: No, you can what really? Yeah? Hell you could say
Speaker 4: your finger slipped?
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody angry swearing right now, that's what I meant
Speaker 2: to say.
Speaker 1: My daughter got a hold of my phone. Just do
Speaker 1: poop emoji? What my kids like?
Speaker 4: You know, he's a teacher.
Speaker 2: He'll buy it's out there basically, or at least you're starting
Speaker 2: to put the vibe out there.
Speaker 3: We're stepping away from room mom into just regular mid.
Speaker 1: For him to like process right, because this is a
Speaker 1: shock to him to get this.
Speaker 5: Wait wait, wait, wait he's totally running back like wait
Speaker 5: wait wait.
Speaker 2: Oh, he's writing she didn't say the word.
Speaker 3: Are you guys gonna do it?
Speaker 4: No? I don't say it unless I hear the word. Okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 4: it's rules.
Speaker 1: There's rules to that song?
Speaker 4: Did he send it?
Speaker 5: He answered? Yeah? Okay, so what does he say? Oh
Speaker 5: my god? Okay, so it says, oh, does this have
Speaker 5: anything to do with the top secret mission Ava told
Speaker 5: me about last week? So weird? That's my daughter, your daughter?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have a top secret mission or the teacher.
Speaker 1: As a top No, No, her daughter does? What do
Speaker 1: you know? What do you know what he's talking about
Speaker 1: with your daughter? Actually?
Speaker 5: I have no idea. That is so weird.
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe the wires are getting crossed here. He's probably
Speaker 2: thinking of something different than the conversation we're trying to
Speaker 2: have with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, it's about kids in school? I got
Speaker 1: Does this guy not know what a smirk emoji.
Speaker 4: Is a good teacher?
Speaker 2: Guy? Next time, we're having all the pervy teachers from
Speaker 2: when I was done, bring them.
Speaker 1: Back with weird lunch visit hours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so sorry, we're hating on your crush now.
Speaker 1: Next week, I thought we got to get him off
Speaker 1: the kid thing.
Speaker 2: No, Well, what is this top secret mission that her
Speaker 2: daughter is talking to her teacher about?
Speaker 4: Though? Shouldn't we ask what that is?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I would love to know what that is, because
Speaker 5: if that's something like weird and creepy that I don't
Speaker 5: know about. That's scary to be weird and creepy. What's
Speaker 5: the top secret mission?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: Did you already? Did you already text that back?
Speaker 5: I sent it? I asked him what the top secret
Speaker 5: mission was?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Now I feel like we're really going far
Speaker 1: away from the flirting.
Speaker 2: Did you put another smirk on the end of the
Speaker 2: top secret mission text?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 5: I didn't this time.
Speaker 2: We can always jump up to the purple devil emoji
Speaker 2: if you get a real desperate I mean, it's.
Speaker 3: It's risky, but no, I think you got scenario.
Speaker 1: For that really literal with this guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, this one go dots dots, dots, dot dot.
Speaker 4: Okay, it wrong, but.
Speaker 1: That's the right way to do it in one way
Speaker 1: is with energy and five.
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Did he right?
Speaker 4: Sorry?
Speaker 5: She touched you back?
Speaker 4: What's the secret mission?
Speaker 5: So he goes. Ava keeps coming in at recess and
Speaker 5: telling me you talk about me at dinner and I
Speaker 5: should ask you out already?
Speaker 4: What Wait? No, I am so embarrassed for you. Your daughter.
Speaker 4: Your daughter's going in and saying ask my mom out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why wouldn't you? It's her favorite teacher? Oh god,
Speaker 1: you know kids can't keep secrets. This is perfect.
Speaker 2: Why do you guys think, mister this must be so embarrassing.
Speaker 3: She took all your playing cards away from you.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna write back?
Speaker 5: I don't even know she's my whole dame. Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Okay, mistery.
Speaker 2: Here's the good news is that he wouldn't have said
Speaker 2: that to you if he wasn't interesting. Did the fact
Speaker 2: that he's bringing it up means that he feels like
Speaker 2: it's a safe thing to talk about in.
Speaker 4: The middle year.
Speaker 1: You need to put embarrassed face emoji and then just say,
Speaker 1: oh my god, my daughter just blew up my game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's grounded for life.
Speaker 3: And you and I have a date.
Speaker 1: Men.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't go to sexy with it.
Speaker 1: I think you say, oh my god, I'm so embarrassed
Speaker 1: emoji the hands over the eyes. Oh yeah, either.
Speaker 5: I put the hands of the eyes just because it's
Speaker 5: a little more embarrassed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then just like how she called me out
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 2: One thing that I know is good to get people
Speaker 2: to respond is like, I don't even know what to say,
Speaker 2: dot dot dot Very true, because then it puts it.
Speaker 4: In his court.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, I sent it.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you guys, this is perfect. He's that
Speaker 1: is such a flirty thing for him to say back
Speaker 1: to it.
Speaker 4: It really is.
Speaker 1: But your daughter's gonna have some really unrealistic expectations about
Speaker 1: this date.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also you probably need to have a conversation
Speaker 2: with your daughter about what needs to stay at the
Speaker 2: dinner table and what gets shared with everybody in life.
Speaker 5: I'm only wondering that my mind is just like spinning
Speaker 5: with what else her Teachers know.
Speaker 4: You don't like the table like you.
Speaker 1: You know, teachers know everything. Yeah, the kid's got the
Speaker 1: biggest mouth.
Speaker 5: He did reply. Okay, so he says, he said, yeah,
Speaker 5: she said you were going to reach out to a
Speaker 5: radio show about it and call me. Oh my god. Wait,
Speaker 5: he already said, he said you were going to reach
Speaker 5: out to a radio show and call me. So I
Speaker 5: want to avoid that. Oh boy, he said.
Speaker 1: Friday, he's still on the radio.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: The good news is misty. He asked you out.
Speaker 1: It sounds and you know what, we usually didn't need
Speaker 1: our help. Ava had your back the whole time. Your
Speaker 1: daughter's got you, man.
Speaker 5: I can't I don't believe his work.
Speaker 1: They give us an update after the date. I want
Speaker 1: to hear how cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh absolutely, or my daughter will call you in.
Speaker 2: That's a successful textual healing. If you're too shy to
Speaker 2: do a second date or anything else that involves phone
Speaker 2: to phone conversations, a bunch of email us and we can.
Speaker 4: Help text your problems away. That's Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 4: the morning.
Speaker 1: Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
