Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to your weekend, and it is your second
Speaker 1: Date Update podcast here with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: But every Sunday we give you something a little different
Speaker 1: that we do. Yeah, and today is a textual healing.
Speaker 1: If you haven't heard this segment, it's basically when a
Speaker 1: listener is stuck in a text conversation or doesn't know
Speaker 1: how to respond, and we step in help and you're.
Speaker 2: Texting them live like wow on the phone with us. Yes,
Speaker 2: they're replying back and forth. Yes, yes, we're.
Speaker 3: Kind of texting their friend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and today is all about group chat drama love.
Speaker 1: So Jose, before we get into it, what emoji would
Speaker 1: you use to describe today's textual healing?
Speaker 3: It would have to be the goat emoji.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Okay, you about to know because it's starting
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 3: There's always a moment in every scary movie where the
Speaker 3: super hot blonde slaps her boyfriend on his strong, muscly
Speaker 3: arm and she says, stop it, Danny, you're scaring me.
Speaker 3: And then Danny turns around and suddenly, oh god, he's
Speaker 3: a werewolf, and well, might feel a little bit dramatic,
Speaker 3: little cliche. One of our listeners is worried that she
Speaker 3: may be caught in a similar scary turnaround situation. And
Speaker 3: it all started when she was accidentally added to a
Speaker 3: group chat where she didn't know anybody and decided to
Speaker 3: join in just for fun. So now you're gonna hear
Speaker 3: why she decided she needs our advice in a brand
Speaker 3: new textual healing that's coming up right after this textual
Speaker 3: healing textual m There is one place that we need
Speaker 3: you to be touching right now. It's not each other.
Speaker 3: It's your phones. Yes, we want you to stretch those
Speaker 3: thumbs and flex those fingers and prepare to type something
Speaker 3: that oh so right for textual healing, a segment where
Speaker 3: we take your messy, confusing, emotionally unstable drafts and help
Speaker 3: you craft them into poetic messages that instantly fix all
Speaker 3: of your problems. That is a promise there, or you know,
Speaker 3: at least that don't completely ruin your life. Okay, there
Speaker 3: we start there.
Speaker 4: That's really need to set the bar.
Speaker 3: You don't have to stretch and use your hands. You
Speaker 3: can use whatever you want to do. That is true.
Speaker 3: Any part of your body is totally fine.
Speaker 4: That's what you mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know it's up to you and who's
Speaker 3: sliding into our inbox for a little textual TLC. A
Speaker 3: request just came in this morning from one of our
Speaker 3: listeners named Alana, who says she's in a little bit
Speaker 3: of a bad spot. So Alana walk in to the show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hey, thanks for having me.
Speaker 3: You're like God, Producer Boyd is probably opening stuff because
Speaker 3: Jeff doesn't get to anything for weeks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's a quick turnaround. Is it like
Speaker 1: an emergency? Is that why you emailed this morning?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a little timely.
Speaker 3: I would say, Okay, it is so Alana, it's set
Speaker 3: in your email because it was passed on to me
Speaker 3: that you were recently added into a random group chat,
Speaker 3: like by accident.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know any of the numbers,
Speaker 5: but I was just kind of in the mood to
Speaker 5: play long and.
Speaker 1: I like joke around in the group chat when back
Speaker 1: the scammer that I'm like, yes, I will send your money.
Speaker 1: I'd be the guy on Thanksgiving, like remember the viral
Speaker 1: guy who years ago I remember and he like went
Speaker 1: over to her house.
Speaker 2: She was like a grandma, And now he goes over
Speaker 2: to her house.
Speaker 3: Every Yeah, yeah, yeah, so this must be why our
Speaker 3: producer gave me the screenshots of the conversation. You must
Speaker 3: have sent it.
Speaker 5: To him, Yes, yes, yes, okay.
Speaker 3: I'll just I guess read the conversation that happened. The
Speaker 3: first message, just to recap, was Hey, everyone, just making
Speaker 3: sure we're set for Saturday. Another person writes yep, can't wait,
Speaker 3: and a third person responds, this year is gonna be
Speaker 3: wild lol.
Speaker 1: Fin.
Speaker 3: That's when Alana joins the chat and she writes, ha ha, yeah,
Speaker 3: totally gonna be epic.
Speaker 2: Oh. I like, okay, you're not even like you're just.
Speaker 3: That's a perfect way to blend in your because you're agreeing,
Speaker 3: you're forwarding, like you see part of the girl.
Speaker 1: He's followed up with, please share pictures from last year
Speaker 1: because I want to know what it is.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 3: The conversation continues. They start casually referencing stuff, but it's
Speaker 3: kind of vague what they're saying. Like Person one says,
Speaker 3: hope nobody gets too crazy like last time, dot dot dot.
Speaker 3: Person two says l M a O not naming names,
Speaker 3: but someone in caps almost lost a tooth. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: Person three still banned from that Applebee's ha ha like
Speaker 3: the and then Alana jumps in again. She says, no
Speaker 3: goats this year, please. Alana said that don't understand a
Speaker 3: lot of goats.
Speaker 5: So I just thought it was funny, like kind of random, uh,
Speaker 5: you know, like goats are always in the frat movies
Speaker 5: or things get out of control, so I just like
Speaker 5: went for it.
Speaker 3: Usually the cops arrived shortly after the goat show up, so.
Speaker 4: And she could always say I meant greatest of all time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. The chat continues. Person two says, omg,
Speaker 3: we should get a goat exclamation exclamation down. Person one
Speaker 3: says I know a guy with a barn we could borrow.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: Person three bigger fence, fewer lawsuits than Alana writes, lo
Speaker 3: ol barns.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: I was saking that maybe they were in their early
Speaker 1: twenties until somebody brought in lawsuits and then I'm like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: all the.
Speaker 3: Crowd, and then person one says, I'm serious, I will
Speaker 3: call during lunch. Okay, So now this is it's getting
Speaker 3: a little bit strange with the goats and the barn talk.
Speaker 2: Maybe getting into the organization for the Florida Games.
Speaker 4: Hey, I thought it was just crazy yoga retreat. You
Speaker 4: know they yoga barn.
Speaker 3: I could see that. Alana, Do you have any idea
Speaker 3: what they could be talking about?
Speaker 5: Honestly, I have no ideas. My mind goes to a
Speaker 5: few different places. I kind of want to know more,
Speaker 5: but if it gets even weirder, maybe I don't want
Speaker 5: to know more. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think you should get an invite to whatever this
Speaker 1: is and show up, because it'd be like one of
Speaker 1: those viral moments, right, yeah, do it for the plot?
Speaker 2: Basically, yeah, you got to.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is definitely different than most of the
Speaker 3: textual healings that we do, where we have an obvious
Speaker 3: problem and we're trying to help them fix the problem.
Speaker 3: In this case, Alana is just curious what's going on
Speaker 3: with this random chant?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I have an idea. Are we ready to text a group?
Speaker 3: What do you think?
Speaker 4: What if she texts.
Speaker 1: In, Oh my god, you guys, I lost the information.
Speaker 1: Can you resend it to me?
Speaker 3: She's still in the group.
Speaker 4: The thing is, I don't know if.
Speaker 2: They have a location yet, but they would have looking
Speaker 2: for a barn, right.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: I was thinking it was like an eye or something
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, you could she could still just play in
Speaker 3: the middle of what she was doing, be like, Oh, wow,
Speaker 3: I guess we're really gonna go all out for the goat. Huh.
Speaker 3: I don't know if we've ever done this before because
Speaker 3: that kind of keeps it in like the general realm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we need them to get more specific. We
Speaker 2: needed them to like say something specific back so we can.
Speaker 4: Figure it out.
Speaker 5: I guess I could say, like, are we gonna go
Speaker 5: with the goat theme? Or are we gonna do what
Speaker 5: we did last year? Like trying to get more information.
Speaker 3: That good because they might offer up what happened last
Speaker 3: year and we'll get a clear idea of what this is.
Speaker 4: You're gonna say yes or no?
Speaker 3: Maybe or make it more open ended.
Speaker 1: Okay, how about this, Are we gonna go with the
Speaker 1: goat theme this year? Or what theme was everybody's favorite
Speaker 1: in the past?
Speaker 5: Yeah, because then you're asking.
Speaker 2: For an answer instead of just a yes or no.
Speaker 3: That's good, Alana, how about that.
Speaker 5: I can try that.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, so are we really going with the goat theme?
Speaker 3: You can put a little goat emoji? What's everybody's favorite
Speaker 3: theme from the past?
Speaker 5: Okay? Cool?
Speaker 3: I wonder what this is.
Speaker 4: I don't know, but it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, so many people can apply so fast.
Speaker 3: I've never been an accomplice to a crime that hasn't
Speaker 3: happened yet.
Speaker 2: So goats belong in bars.
Speaker 3: If the police are listening to this in the future,
Speaker 3: just know I am on the fence and I have
Speaker 3: no part in pushing this forward. Defense that's holding the
Speaker 3: goat inside.
Speaker 4: By the way, very legal.
Speaker 3: All right, So Alana, you've sent that we're going to
Speaker 3: take a break. Okay, cool, We're going to take a break.
Speaker 3: Come back and see if the group chat continues with
Speaker 3: more Textual Healing right after this, if you're just joining us,
Speaker 3: we were called in to do a last minute edition
Speaker 3: of Textual Healing where one of our listeners, Alana, messaged
Speaker 3: our show. She reached out just this morning saying she's
Speaker 3: in a weird situation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she just started a goat party on accident.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is, because it all started when she was
Speaker 3: accidentally added to a group chat with a bunch of
Speaker 3: people that she does not know and decided to respond
Speaker 3: to it just to mess with them and have a
Speaker 3: little bit of fun.
Speaker 4: She wasn't even being mean or.
Speaker 3: She's actually it sounded like these random people were talking
Speaker 3: about how they do a party every year and last
Speaker 3: year's party got out of control. Alana wanted to feel
Speaker 3: like she was part of the group, so that's why
Speaker 3: she brought up a goat, saying no goats this year, please,
Speaker 3: And the rest of the chat has decided to run
Speaker 3: with that, where now they're talking about visiting people's barns,
Speaker 3: hopping fences, possible lawsuits.
Speaker 1: It makes sense because remember we did learn they were
Speaker 1: banned from Applebee's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a group that tends to take things
Speaker 3: a little bit beyond the line, so we think, yeah,
Speaker 3: we're not really sure. But that's why Alana is curious.
Speaker 3: She wants to dig a little deeper to figure out
Speaker 3: what we're actually working with here, and that's why we
Speaker 3: sent are we going with the goat theme? Idea? What
Speaker 3: was our favorite theme from years before?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a lot of.
Speaker 5: They come back with a detailed list of what here
Speaker 5: and what it's been with pictures right.
Speaker 3: Bro idea of what we're talking about, Alana. Have they responded, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I have.
Speaker 5: A few messages.
Speaker 3: Okay, what do they say?
Speaker 5: Okay, buckle up. Person two says the one from six
Speaker 5: years ago, the buzz saw one buzz sawce buzzsauce.
Speaker 2: Six years This is a.
Speaker 3: Only good things happen around buzz saws.
Speaker 5: Buz don't know, I don't know. But then Person one says, yeah,
Speaker 5: it was before you joined. You'll get used to it, though.
Speaker 5: Just be sure to bring gloves this time. Gloves and
Speaker 5: person three sets and trash bags.
Speaker 4: Trash bags who.
Speaker 2: Volunteers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys are thinking awfully innocent for gloves and
Speaker 3: trash bags.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Nobody's going to habitat for humanity and then getting barred
Speaker 1: from Applebee's.
Speaker 3: The kitchen to nicely. We don't want these folks back
Speaker 3: clean highways drunk. It's starting to feel creepy. Yeah, this
Speaker 3: isn't like your normal party, Vibe ale Ona.
Speaker 2: Why do they want to bring a go and a
Speaker 2: buzz saw?
Speaker 4: That's not good?
Speaker 3: Are you sure that you want to keep going down
Speaker 3: this Pathlon? Or is it time to ask? Hey, you
Speaker 3: know what's the deal with all the weird supplies?
Speaker 5: I'm honestly so curious. I say, we keep going?
Speaker 3: You want to keep going?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, wait, this is good though, because the buzzsaw
Speaker 1: happened before your tie, so you can ask about it,
Speaker 1: you can ask your details.
Speaker 4: I never heard about that. What happened? Yeah, No, nobody
Speaker 4: likes that.
Speaker 3: Maybe we need more examples from just besides the buzzsaw idea. Yeah, like,
Speaker 3: maybe we do the play along thing and we go,
Speaker 3: you know, well, what exactly are we doing? Because I'm
Speaker 3: still having trouble remembering last year's it was that crazy?
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, can I try that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, go for it. We're just trying to collect
Speaker 3: more information from these people because we're still not one
Speaker 3: hundred percent sure what it even is that they do
Speaker 3: every year.
Speaker 1: If you wanted to find out what the group is,
Speaker 1: you say, what should we title our Facebook group?
Speaker 4: I've been working on getting us a page.
Speaker 2: In Facebook groups. It's Partyful the app you text it,
Speaker 2: bro whatever.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 4: They sounds like old people.
Speaker 5: The people party guys, guys, guys, guys, very fond and
Speaker 5: hang on hand, very fond of that.
Speaker 3: So the last thing that you said was what exactly
Speaker 3: are we doing this year? Because I don't remember what
Speaker 3: we did last year? It was so crazy? What did
Speaker 3: they write back?
Speaker 5: Person one says, don't worry, It's all part of the fun.
Speaker 1: Remembering things is part of the fun. That sounds super sticky.
Speaker 3: That's the whole goal is to super I used to.
Speaker 5: Drink that was so then Person three goes, yeah, nothing
Speaker 5: to be nervous about. We've got everything under control.
Speaker 3: What do they because they got banned from an Applebee's.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that that's like the opposite.
Speaker 2: Of being wanting to initiate you this year to me,
Speaker 2: I don't know you were.
Speaker 4: There last year.
Speaker 5: And then person too after that says, just trust stuff.
Speaker 5: It's going to be a blast.
Speaker 4: Don't trust them. I know who they are.
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyone else thought this could be like the coolest
Speaker 3: church ever with a baptism Yeah, right, and the bowl
Speaker 3: of kool aid that you all have to drink at
Speaker 3: the same time. Yeah, because that's kind of where it's going.
Speaker 4: That doesn't end well, that's a cult chat.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So if you're just joining us, we're in the middle
Speaker 3: of textual healing. We're helping out our listener, Alana, who
Speaker 3: was caught up in a group chat where she doesn't
Speaker 3: know anybody is started with her innocently wanting to mess
Speaker 3: with them because it sounded like they did an annual party.
Speaker 3: But now we're getting down into really strange territory. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's kind of snowballs. Anybody that says just trust us,
Speaker 3: nothing bad is going to happen. That's not a good
Speaker 3: spot you want to be in.
Speaker 5: No, and I'm getting more messages hand wait coming in.
Speaker 4: I love group chats.
Speaker 2: How many people are in this group?
Speaker 5: There are four other numbers? Four people in the group.
Speaker 3: Okay, so now what are they writing?
Speaker 5: Okay, back to person one, they say, we don't talk
Speaker 5: about last year, and then Kerson three reiterates that and says,
Speaker 5: remember no talking on text about it.
Speaker 4: Oh great, so we're just going to broadcast.
Speaker 3: Oh god, they made a rule where you can't recap
Speaker 3: no paper trail of what happened last year.
Speaker 2: I don't know what if this is actually something illegal.
Speaker 3: I brought that up last segment, Brooke, and you were
Speaker 3: like legal Schmigel. Yeah, I have enough lawyers to get out.
Speaker 2: Of it, because I thought it was a fun barn party.
Speaker 1: Jeff with a goat, Like, who hasn't been to one
Speaker 1: of those we're talking about buzz saws.
Speaker 4: And it's gonna be like crime.
Speaker 2: Group uses goat to rob casinos.
Speaker 3: Radio show gives them the idea.
Speaker 5: Oh god, they were saying not to be nervous. That
Speaker 5: then person who just says, bring the right gear and
Speaker 5: no questions. Okay, what now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, sounds like it is Ocean's eleven. We have trash bags,
Speaker 3: gloves and the right gear and a goat.
Speaker 2: And it sounds like they don't know you that well.
Speaker 2: Who they think you are.
Speaker 3: You're the new initiated.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't you number saved?
Speaker 5: Wait what you're the okay? Wait, this is weird. Okay.
Speaker 5: So then they say, also as a reminder, dot dot dot,
Speaker 5: we don't talk about Darryl.
Speaker 3: They have a lot of things they don't talk about this.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sorry, there's a Darrel involved. This is some
Speaker 2: country tookes we got a Darryl or.
Speaker 3: We're stealing a go Sounds like there used to be
Speaker 3: a Daryl until things went bad and now we don't
Speaker 3: talk about him anymore.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5: So okay, and they go, sorry, you're right, Saturday, let's go.
Speaker 5: Let's go.
Speaker 3: Sounds like Jose is in on the group chat. Are
Speaker 3: you still wanting to continue down the rabbit hole and
Speaker 3: dig deeper here?
Speaker 2: I want to know what this is. We don't have
Speaker 2: any closure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I really want to know too. I just feel
Speaker 5: like this is getting really sketchy now.
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe you can text just so that we
Speaker 3: can get some clarity. Maybe we bring up all of
Speaker 3: our fears right now and we say, hey, guys, I'm
Speaker 3: not looking to get locked up, by the way, lol.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Hopefully, like hopefully they'll be like, it's not a bad thing.
Speaker 2: What about this?
Speaker 1: What about you have to tell your emergency contact something?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Like, you're so.
Speaker 5: I got.
Speaker 3: My mom says curfuse at nine, So tell me without
Speaker 3: telling me you're a nark. Okay, what do you think, Alana?
Speaker 5: Okay, I actually just sent I'm not looking to get
Speaker 5: locked up.
Speaker 4: Okay, suggestion.
Speaker 2: I gotta say it was better than my emergency contact.
Speaker 2: I'll back.
Speaker 4: I'll back Jeff on that one.
Speaker 5: Okay, Okay, Okay, here we go.
Speaker 2: Did someone text back?
Speaker 5: Okay? Yeah, we got one person one again and they
Speaker 5: say for the last time, no one's going to jail.
Speaker 5: Just a really big goat costume.
Speaker 3: It's a costume party.
Speaker 4: What really big costume?
Speaker 3: All like a group goat costume party.
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm more confused now because.
Speaker 4: I thought it was a real goat.
Speaker 2: Now it's just a.
Speaker 3: Now just doesn't sound like fun. Okay, I feel like
Speaker 3: you should be like, you know what, I'm busy, guys,
Speaker 3: I don't think I can make it.
Speaker 1: It would make sense if they're in big costumes while
Speaker 1: they got banned from Applebee's.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'm just gonna
Speaker 5: not respond for a bit. I just goat costume. They're
Speaker 5: a real goat. I don't know. I feel this is
Speaker 5: all still kind of weird.
Speaker 4: You're not into goat boys, huh?
Speaker 5: I got not make sure you.
Speaker 3: Do get their address though, and text it over to us,
Speaker 3: just because some of us might want to do some research.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I will, I will.
Speaker 3: We'll post the address for the goat costume party up
Speaker 3: on Brook and Jeffrey's instant stories if it comes out.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be great if the real goats are in costumes.
Speaker 2: I would totally go.
Speaker 4: To diaby so that it would also.
Speaker 2: Get you banned from apple bee too.
Speaker 3: It's Brook and Jeffrey in the
Speaker 2: Morning, Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
