Speaker 1: Hey, it's Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning on the
Speaker 1: Second Day podcast. And some would say that texting is
Speaker 1: more of a visual thing. Yeah, except for we decided
Speaker 1: to do a whole segment about it.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 3: It's called textual healing.
Speaker 1: It's where you're stuck in a text conversation, you're not
Speaker 1: sure what to say next.
Speaker 3: We come in and help you solve that issue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes helping, sometimes making it worse.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and fun fact editor Ashley said this is her
Speaker 4: favorite segment we do, so, I mean.
Speaker 1: We had to do it since your generation Alexis refuses
Speaker 1: to make phone calls.
Speaker 3: It's more out of necessity. All right, well, now you
Speaker 3: know what it is, let's get it going.
Speaker 5: In a new relationship. There's all sorts of little things
Speaker 5: that can give you the ick. So like if they
Speaker 5: part their hair the same way your dog does.
Speaker 6: Dog is right in half.
Speaker 5: If after every kiss they giggle and in a baby
Speaker 5: voice say.
Speaker 3: It again, mama, yeah, oh yeah, you.
Speaker 7: Know coming back from those.
Speaker 5: That's why one of our listeners needs our help today
Speaker 5: because she's been dating this great guy and the one
Speaker 5: thing that might be giving him the ick is the
Speaker 5: awkward text exchanges that they've been having and like just
Speaker 5: this morning, she got a message she has no idea
Speaker 5: how to respond to. So we're gonna try and step
Speaker 5: in and help her out with a textual healing coming up.
Speaker 3: I don't like it.
Speaker 7: Text you will healing, text you will needless to say.
Speaker 5: This morning show has many many skills using our fingers,
Speaker 5: pencil tricks, tummy tickles, me and Jose, pinching our noses
Speaker 5: when we pass by Brooks lunch.
Speaker 7: We are very very good with our fingers.
Speaker 3: You can spell cauliflowers so much. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not pleasant, especially when you put it in
Speaker 7: the microwave.
Speaker 3: With spinach.
Speaker 5: But you know what, maybe our best finger skill is texting.
Speaker 5: You like to help our listeners come up to our
Speaker 5: level with this segment called textual healing, where we help
Speaker 5: somebody with their texting conversation when they don't quite know
Speaker 5: what to say. And today's honored guest who needs some
Speaker 5: tender textual healing is Dory. So let's welcome Dory to
Speaker 5: the show. How you doing tie?
Speaker 8: Everybody?
Speaker 3: Sorry, you're hungry? You want some lunch? I'll give you some?
Speaker 7: Yeah, say no, say no?
Speaker 8: Sound yeah?
Speaker 5: Story you reached out for us because you need help
Speaker 5: with some texting. Who are we going to be texting today?
Speaker 9: Yes, you guys, I met this guy and we've been
Speaker 9: going out three or four weeks. It's not we haven't
Speaker 9: had the exclusive talk. But in real life, I really
Speaker 9: really like him.
Speaker 3: In virtual life, do you like him too?
Speaker 8: Not so much?
Speaker 3: A no?
Speaker 9: In texting life, it's a problem. The thing is, when
Speaker 9: we're together, it's great, I have no issues. I really
Speaker 9: like him again, But when it comes to texting, we're off.
Speaker 6: Really really, I know exactly what you mean.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's just not I mean, I feel like there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there that don't know how
Speaker 1: to keep a conversation going on text.
Speaker 3: Is that what it is? Does it feel like you
Speaker 3: text him and then things just stop?
Speaker 8: I'm just not sure what it is. It's really not vibing.
Speaker 9: It's like it's so different from how we are when
Speaker 9: we're together.
Speaker 5: Like, do you have an example of like how your
Speaker 5: texting isn't meshing with each other?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Actually I do.
Speaker 9: So. One time he texted me and he said, when
Speaker 9: you come over later.
Speaker 8: The neighbor's kids have challenged us to a water fight.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, that's cute.
Speaker 9: That is cute, right right, that was a cute text,
Speaker 9: And so I texted back I said, oh, that sounds
Speaker 9: like fun I'm in yeah, that's.
Speaker 3: A good response, square gun emoji.
Speaker 9: And then he texted, should I wait for you to
Speaker 9: boil the water? Oh?
Speaker 1: Wait, he's gonna pour boiling water on the neighbor children
Speaker 1: and he's be funny.
Speaker 6: Right yeah.
Speaker 8: I mean I was confused. I was like what, and
Speaker 8: then he was just like, oh, he was just joking.
Speaker 9: But that's an example I'm trying to say of why
Speaker 9: it's off in real life.
Speaker 10: I don't seem to have that confusion in real life.
Speaker 5: You get jokes on you where you could see in
Speaker 5: real life that way, there's no question this is a thing.
Speaker 6: Do you have bad text chemistry? Usually if you talk.
Speaker 3: About this a lot, they'll say is that a bad thing?
Speaker 5: Though?
Speaker 3: Is it like bad for a relationship?
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 6: To text me?
Speaker 3: Like, are you worried about it?
Speaker 2: If you're daying, you're not going to text all day anyway?
Speaker 6: That's true.
Speaker 9: I mean I am a little bit worried about it
Speaker 9: because it sets a dynamic off, like I.
Speaker 8: Don't know to go forward or what?
Speaker 7: Okay, So you.
Speaker 5: You feel like every time that you guys do a
Speaker 5: text conversation, it's like subtracting from your relationship in real life.
Speaker 5: So where are you at right now in your convo
Speaker 5: with him via text?
Speaker 9: It's still confusing to me. Like, actually, today he texted
Speaker 9: me something. That's why I'm calling you, guys. I don't
Speaker 9: know how to respond. Okay, So I sent him a text.
Speaker 9: Let me read it to you.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 8: I said, Hey, that computer that you let me borrow?
Speaker 8: Do you know how much ram it has?
Speaker 6: Okay, it sounds like a bad pickup life.
Speaker 7: Do you let you borrow a computer? Yeah?
Speaker 8: Well, he let me a computer.
Speaker 10: It was a really serious question I needed to.
Speaker 8: Know for downloading or whatever.
Speaker 9: Okay, So I was serious about it, and he responded,
Speaker 9: You guys, you said, sorry, I don't know.
Speaker 8: It was a friend of mine and he's dead.
Speaker 7: Now wow, okay, how do you read that?
Speaker 6: Very dark?
Speaker 8: I don't know what to think.
Speaker 9: I mean, I didn't respond or text back because I
Speaker 9: don't know whether to make a joke. If she was joking,
Speaker 9: you know, if it's really true, then I might say
Speaker 9: something that's insensitive to a dead man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we're responding back to this text with you
Speaker 5: right now about his friend possibly dying.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, can you just write back? Are you serious? Question?
Speaker 7: Markers sounds kind.
Speaker 5: Of cold and heart I think that no matter what happens,
Speaker 5: especially early on in a relationship, you want to keep
Speaker 5: things as light and as playful as possible. You mend so,
Speaker 5: but maybe, but he was joking about the water balloons
Speaker 5: and boiling water on top of children.
Speaker 7: His sense of humor is a little bit different.
Speaker 1: What if you're right back and you say, uh, oh
Speaker 1: is this computer cursed? No?
Speaker 6: No, no, If he's dark, you gotta go darker?
Speaker 11: Be like, how did you kill him?
Speaker 6: How did you murder your friend?
Speaker 3: That curse was dark enough?
Speaker 5: What if you said, how about we get out the
Speaker 5: Wiji board and ask him? See that's dark, dorry, What
Speaker 5: do you think? Lots of options to choose from there,
Speaker 5: none of them.
Speaker 11: Are being normal at this point, though, you have to
Speaker 11: give back with a dark song.
Speaker 5: Well, she didn't come to us for a normal response
Speaker 5: to be like, oh sorry, we need a fun, playful response.
Speaker 1: You want to say to talk to the friend to
Speaker 1: figure out the realm.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's acknowledging what he said. It's Joe looking
Speaker 5: back in a not mean way. What do you think, Torri?
Speaker 9: I do like where you're coming from, So I feel
Speaker 9: like I could say something like, well, can we have.
Speaker 8: A say once so we can find.
Speaker 7: Out Okay, I like that, but I'm gonna like it.
Speaker 3: You could use that crystal ball emoji.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, whatever, but whatever.
Speaker 7: The message will come through either way.
Speaker 5: Why don't you Why don't you type that out and
Speaker 5: send it to your your new guy friend here, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna do.
Speaker 10: It right now, you guys, Okay, you have to do
Speaker 10: it right now.
Speaker 7: That's the point.
Speaker 3: Did we get his name?
Speaker 7: We didn't ask for his name?
Speaker 3: Okay, need it?
Speaker 8: Okay, right now?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't want to distract her and ruin the
Speaker 7: text laughing.
Speaker 3: Okay, she makes you so funny?
Speaker 6: Is funny?
Speaker 8: All right, I'm gonna send it. All right, let's do
Speaker 8: it and send Okay.
Speaker 6: There's no way he's like, actually, my friend does haunt me.
Speaker 1: It could come back to plan this Friday, so that
Speaker 1: works out perfectly.
Speaker 6: But this is fun enough. It's right in the middle.
Speaker 5: We've laid the groundwork for a nice, playful conversation for
Speaker 5: the rest of the way. We're gonna come back and
Speaker 5: see if he responds to that friend.
Speaker 3: Let him go. What's his name? Who are we texting?
Speaker 8: Andre?
Speaker 3: Andre?
Speaker 9: Andre?
Speaker 5: We'll see if Andre responds and we continue textual healing
Speaker 5: right after this. We're in the middle of textual healing
Speaker 5: with our listener Dory, and normally we get a lot
Speaker 5: of relationship stuff on this segment about how to text
Speaker 5: your crush the ups guy, how to text Brooks husband
Speaker 5: to get him out of the house so Roy the
Speaker 5: traveling salesman can come over, but a lot of.
Speaker 6: Excuses for that.
Speaker 3: The text with Roy is fine, though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, chemistry kidding any if you're listening, there's no way.
Speaker 5: This is a little bit different though, because Dorry needs
Speaker 5: our help texting the guy that she's just started dating.
Speaker 7: All their in person can mystery is off the charts.
Speaker 5: It's just when they're on the phone texting it can
Speaker 5: get a little bit rocky and they can't tell when
Speaker 5: the other person is joking or not.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you know, I still don't fully know either.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why she emailed us today because she was
Speaker 5: asking him over text about a computer that she borrowed
Speaker 5: and how much ram it has. He responded with, I
Speaker 5: don't know that computer belonged to my dead friend. So
Speaker 5: that put us at an interesting fork in the road.
Speaker 5: Do we take that seriously or assume that it.
Speaker 7: Was a joke.
Speaker 1: I mean, like Alexa said, this is why emojis were invented.
Speaker 3: He need.
Speaker 5: He joked before with a previous text, So we went
Speaker 5: down that road again and wrote back, well, maybe we
Speaker 5: should do a seance to find out. Yeah, trying to
Speaker 5: be playful, and I'm thinking, like, after we did it,
Speaker 5: I'm worried, like, did.
Speaker 7: We really do that? That's a little bit it is
Speaker 7: a little bit dangerous.
Speaker 3: We can apologize.
Speaker 5: I am interested to see if Andre has replied to it, dorry,
Speaker 5: Have you gotten any word back?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 7: Okay?
Speaker 3: Oh no, what did he say?
Speaker 6: Drama?
Speaker 10: Okay?
Speaker 8: He said, oh snap, do you believe in that too?
Speaker 9: We should one hundred percent emoji do a seance for
Speaker 9: our next date.
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 7: Oh okay.
Speaker 9: Offended, he continues, If he responds, you're gonna love him.
Speaker 8: He's a great guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I'm worried.
Speaker 5: Now, how do you how do you read that door?
Speaker 5: Do you think he's joking back or is he being serious?
Speaker 8: Now? I think he believes in ghosts?
Speaker 3: Where do you stand? On that belief. Are you down
Speaker 3: having a seance with your new boyfriend?
Speaker 1: She's not gonna have a real does mean that it
Speaker 1: actually is the friend's laptops and the friends dead.
Speaker 6: See, I'm one hundred percent on the joking side. People
Speaker 6: joke joke around NonStop like me, never stop. That's what
Speaker 6: it says, non stop, Brooks.
Speaker 2: He just took it too are exactly he's.
Speaker 6: Not gonna stop?
Speaker 5: I don't know if he is, because if he'd sent
Speaker 5: the text without mentioning the friends specifically, then I would
Speaker 5: think it's a joke. But the fact that he's bringing
Speaker 5: up his friend might mean that that's serious.
Speaker 3: And then you're gonna meet him. I think he thinks
Speaker 3: you're gonna meet him.
Speaker 2: It should be cool.
Speaker 4: That's a step in a relationship close friends.
Speaker 7: Is it a little bit too soon to be meeting
Speaker 7: the dead friends?
Speaker 2: Don't get book for that one.
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, now meet my great grandma. Let's find her relatives.
Speaker 10: You guys, I'm so worried now, I mean, what do
Speaker 10: I show?
Speaker 1: Okay? Okay, now we gotta legitimately find out if this
Speaker 1: is a joke or not.
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 3: Do we need to do that? Brook Well? What else
Speaker 3: do we do?
Speaker 1: We just keep on the road and we don't know
Speaker 1: whether we should show up on Friday night for the.
Speaker 7: Trains in motion. Don't jump in front and try to
Speaker 7: stop it.
Speaker 6: Now, could keep joking?
Speaker 3: Why do you say this? What do you say?
Speaker 7: This?
Speaker 3: Truth is it'd be my first seance? What should I
Speaker 3: bring to that type of date?
Speaker 6: What do I wear?
Speaker 7: Just doesn't like it?
Speaker 9: Now?
Speaker 6: Is being polite?
Speaker 7: She always says, totally.
Speaker 2: Want to know what you need to know?
Speaker 3: Do you bring a bottle of wine? Do you need
Speaker 3: to wear a black dress?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Where are we at?
Speaker 7: Are you actually open to a seance here?
Speaker 5: Dorri?
Speaker 7: For real? Not really, but maybe there's a way we
Speaker 7: can joke in back home.
Speaker 9: I really, I.
Speaker 8: Really like you guys response, that's true. It will be
Speaker 8: my first seance. What should I bring? I like that?
Speaker 7: Now you do it? Okay? Then just send that. Let's
Speaker 7: just send it, okay.
Speaker 8: You guys.
Speaker 10: I've texted texted it and now we'll.
Speaker 11: Totally I think be able to tell from this text
Speaker 11: because if he says we're something nice and be respectful
Speaker 11: for the dead, then you'll know he's serious.
Speaker 6: And he's like bring a bunny costume, then you.
Speaker 5: Know he's go to a pet cemetery and dig up
Speaker 5: a dead end and then we need the bones from it.
Speaker 10: Then you guys, you guys, he texted back, here we go.
Speaker 5: Okay, that was really quick for a geez. He's excited
Speaker 5: about this.
Speaker 9: He said, Oh, are you serious? That could be a
Speaker 9: deal breaker for.
Speaker 2: Me doing it or not doing it.
Speaker 3: No asking, no admitting that it's her first time.
Speaker 9: That or or me being into it is a deal breaker.
Speaker 8: I don't know why.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just say I was joking and just leave it at.
Speaker 2: That, and then and then he can decide what the
Speaker 2: joke was.
Speaker 5: Can we joke back and say, like, oh, thank god,
Speaker 5: because I was worried I was going to fall in
Speaker 5: love with your dead friend, or you.
Speaker 3: Were worried his friend was going to hit on you.
Speaker 5: I mean, because remember, like, our mission here is just
Speaker 5: to try and connect with andre this guy that she's.
Speaker 3: Texting, and it is off still it is.
Speaker 5: Well, we're talking too much about Andrea's possibly dead friends.
Speaker 3: I like, I like your joke. I think your joke's funny.
Speaker 7: Okay, like I do. I liked your version of it
Speaker 7: though a little bit better than mine.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I was worried that he was going to
Speaker 3: hit on me anyway.
Speaker 5: Yeah, ghosts have a thing for me, so I was
Speaker 5: worried he was going to fall in love with me anyway.
Speaker 5: What you're showing by by doing that is that you're
Speaker 5: like a light, playful person. You don't take things too seriously.
Speaker 5: You're just trying to like have a good time with him, right.
Speaker 9: I'm not being judgmental or yeah, let's just send that.
Speaker 7: Maybe you put a laugh emoji on the end.
Speaker 1: Of just.
Speaker 6: Because it's a little Yes, it's a joke.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the last smile remind him he can use those two.
Speaker 7: Lead by example.
Speaker 8: Okay, all right, so let's see I'm getting it. Okay.
Speaker 5: Do you always have this big of like like a
Speaker 5: build up every time you send a text to anybody?
Speaker 7: You have to hype yourself up for it? Maybe just
Speaker 7: good yeah, Andre.
Speaker 10: No, it's just because you know it's so new one.
Speaker 8: I really like him, and I don't want to.
Speaker 9: Okay, So all right, So okay, I've written it.
Speaker 7: Button said, there we go.
Speaker 3: Okay, you feel like you're texting with your mom right now?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 5: I mean I just feel like we're not like crossing
Speaker 5: the line here, We're not being offensive we're just being
Speaker 5: playful and joky and fun.
Speaker 6: We stay in the middle, which is good.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 3: If he writes back and is like, no seances.
Speaker 8: On he wrote that, guys, he wrote that.
Speaker 7: Oh god, god, he's really fast. What did he say he.
Speaker 10: Said to laugh emoji? Yes, okay, he said, I was
Speaker 10: just messing with you. I don't have a dead friend,
Speaker 10: thank god. But we should text more.
Speaker 8: You're funny.
Speaker 3: Text more.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know if we can be there for every
Speaker 5: single text conversation that you have, but you know what
Speaker 5: we'll do. We'll give you Brooks new landline. She's the
Speaker 5: only one in the entire city who has one. Now
Speaker 5: you know she's gonna.
Speaker 3: Be answered, or the kids will answer.
Speaker 5: That whole family's funny. You feel like we've held you
Speaker 5: out there, Dori. Can we leave you to it now?
Speaker 10: I think you guys an amazing job.
Speaker 9: I think going forward, our texts will dive better together.
Speaker 1: Now I think, yeah, you need to read every text
Speaker 1: from this man as a joke.
Speaker 3: On texts.
Speaker 7: Do those voice texts from now on?
Speaker 6: Amaze?
Speaker 3: Yeah, just so that you don't frustrate people with your
Speaker 3: slow texting.
Speaker 5: Okay, anyway, that's textual healing, it's Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 5: the morning, Brook and Jeffrey.
Speaker 3: In the morning. Well, that was one where the texting
Speaker 3: chemistry was definitely off.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean is that a no go for
Speaker 1: you in the start of a relationship, Like if you
Speaker 1: guys don't have good text chemistry.
Speaker 3: Will it work?
Speaker 11: I mean, if you can get on the same page
Speaker 11: and not a lot of times it starts that way,
Speaker 11: but yeah.
Speaker 6: You can never find it.
Speaker 11: And I don't know if you can be with somebody.
Speaker 4: In their case, I feel like the less texting the better,
Speaker 4: Like I never say phone calls are better ever, but
Speaker 4: maybe for them it's the one time or maybe they.
Speaker 3: Should just stop with words and only do emojis.
Speaker 2: Yes again, that emojis this whole thing.
Speaker 1: Emoji emojis really saying yes things, especially when people aren't
Speaker 1: very sarcastic, Like if you can't pick up sarcasm, emojis
Speaker 1: will help you train that person to understand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we were laughing.
Speaker 2: I'm a big exclamation white person.
Speaker 4: Whenever I text our producer boyd To'll always reply to
Speaker 4: me with a ton of exclamation points, like mocking me.
Speaker 2: I'm like, listen.
Speaker 4: We had a few comments though someone said I like
Speaker 4: this guy.
Speaker 2: He just has dark humor.
Speaker 3: Yeah so, and you know, yeah yeah, and.
Speaker 4: Then someone else said, love this I just want to
Speaker 4: hang out with dor. I love her personality.
Speaker 2: Good job team. Finally, oh so.

Speaker 2: But wait, maybe we're reading it wrong. Though you know
Speaker 2: it is a comment, there might.
