Jeffrey
Hey, thanks for being here and taking a break from all that basketball. I know that's what you've been doing. I've been hiding in a different room for my husband all weekend.
Brooke
I want us to hurry this up.
Jeffrey
So I can get back to you. Hey, Esberg and Jeffrey, you found the second Date podcast and we're so glad you're here. You know, Sundays are really starting to be kind of a grab bag. What are you going to get in terms of relationship drama? Yeah, what's today, Brooke? What did I grab? Well, today we're going to introduce a segment we like to call Textual Healing. Yeah, and how would you explain that, Jose?
Brooke
You need to text someone. You need some advice. You don't know what to say, so you hit us up.
Jeffrey
Yep, that's it. That made it sound kind of boring. Yeah, I promise a lot more drama to come. Let us know what you think in the comments. And of course, don't forget to subscribe and follow. All right, let's get it started.
Brooke
Under the umbrella of forbidden love. Assuming that you are single. Okay, who in your life should you never ask out? Your mailman, maybe?
Jeffrey
That's not a big deal, I don't think.
Brooke
Well, no, they could mess with your mail.
Jeffrey
I know, but they have nice calves.
Brooke
Nice calves. But, you know, he's been around the block a few times, so literally. Probably not your grandpa's best friend. Well, again, too experienced. You'd never be able to keep up. I was going to say, I don't care how rich he is.
Jeffrey
Alexis, be able to keep up.
Brooke
Well, one of our listeners is thinking about crossing into the forbidden love zone because she had a moment in a school gymnasium and now she needs our help before this chance disappears forever.
Jeffrey
Got to be the janitor.
Brooke
We'll find out. You'll hear why. It's going to be more than a little awkward in a brand new textual healing that's coming up right after this. It's getting stronger and stronger when I get that feeling. Textual Healing. Textual. Of all the places that we want you to put your fingers, maybe the number one place is on your phone.
Jeffrey
Yeah, not for me.
Brooke
Anything you could have said to make that not crazy? It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. No, we want you to run those digits all up and down your screen as we help you craft the perfect text message right here for our segment, Textual Healing.
Jeffrey
I love this segment.
Brooke
Yeah. If you haven't heard it before, it's where we help listeners who are stuck and not sure what to write to somebody in their life. We'll work with you to come up with something passable. That is our vow to you.
Jeffrey
I almost thought standard. I almost thought you're going to say something passive aggressive, which I'm like, that's also probably true.
Brooke
That's always on the table for us. And which listener has emailed the show today requesting our gentle textual touch? Her name is Misty. So let's welcome her. Misty, welcome to Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Hi.
Misty
Thank you so much. Hi, guys.
Jeffrey
Misty, are you in an airport right now?
Brooke
Carnival.
Misty
Yeah, there's a lot going on right here. Okay, how's this?
Brooke
Better? That sounds a lot better. Okay.
Misty
Okay. Amazing.
Jeffrey
Great.
Misty
I'm so sorry, you guys.
Brooke
You're good, Misty, So tell us what made you email the show and how can we help heal you textually?
Misty
Okay, so I want to send a text to my daughter's teacher.
Jeffrey
Your daughter's teacher?
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
I shouldn't be awkward.
Misty
It's a little awkward. So here's the lowdown. So my daughter is graduating elementary school. She's in fifth grade.
Brooke
Brooke, don't cry. Don't cry. It happens to every child. I know I'm gonna be there and I'm gonna cry.
Misty
I'm doing my best, but I. I am a little bit happy about it because I had to go to the school to help decorate for an event.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Misty
And one of her teachers was there and we kind of like had a moment.
Brooke
Wait, good or bad moment? What type of. Yeah, describe this moment to us and don't spare any details.
Misty
We were. We were just decorating together and we started really hitting it off and we have a lot in common. And we. We had like sort of a heart to heart situation where it got like a little deeper than a teacher conversation.
Brooke
Like. Like some chemistry going on in there.
Jeffrey
Honestly, I've gone out drinking with some of my kids. Parents or kids? Teachers.
Brooke
Yeah, you know, like chemistry hit as well, bro.
Jeffrey
You confessing no chemistry, but, like, you can be friends or just people, right? Is that what you mean?
Brooke
Enough with how Brooke alienates herself at children's school. Let's talk more to Misty here. Hang out, not around the other parents. Misty, give us. What's the lowdown with this teacher? Are we talking guy, girl, married, single? What's the situation?
Jeffrey
That's what Alexis wants to know.
Misty
So he is a guy, he's single. I am divorced. As of. I would say, like A little over a year.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
That's a good time to start dating, right?
Brooke
Single.
Misty
Yeah. So I don't know, I'm just like, kind of ready to get back out there and I feel like we have this moment and I need you guys help me craft a text to this teacher because I am way too embarrassed to call him. Yeah.
Brooke
So wait, wait. You feel like there was a little bit of flirting? You want us to craft a text to push it into flirt mode or like, hey, I'm throwing the vibe out?
Misty
Yeah, and I think it's a really good time too, because I didn't want to get involved with anything of that matter while my daughter was still at school. It would have been really awkward. And now that she's graduating, I feel like it's good timing.
Brooke
I mean, your daughter would have got better grades in school though, if you're dating them back then. But that's fine if you want to avoid the awkwardness.
Jeffrey
No, but the thing is, is you don't want to come off as like the divorced mom hitting on the hot teacher. I mean, I just am thinking that he gets it all the time.
Brooke
You may be right.
Jeffrey
And I'm not saying don't do it. It's just that we gotta be creative. We gotta do it better than the rest of the divorced mom.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
Okay, so what's this teacher's name?
Misty
So the teacher's name is. Nick.
Brooke
Nick. Okay, so what do we write to Nick to put it out there that now that her daughter is going to be graduating from elementary school, she is open for business? My instinct would be to compliment him about how well he taught her daughter.
Jeffrey
I don't think you mentioned the kid.
Brooke
I. I think it's a good thought, Jose. But then she. Then she comes off as like the mom to the daughter and he's the teacher. It like solidifies that relationship.
Jeffrey
Exactly. You're re establishing the professional part.
Brooke
We need to bring out her sexual side. Yeah. Now, Brooke, you. I. I don't know. You're not an actor.
Jeffrey
When we were decorating that gym did like my balloons.
Brooke
Oh, no. Okay, if you like a restraining order put out against you, go with that one. He will not even get that.
Jeffrey
I think honestly, you just start with something really simple, like, I had so much fun with you other the other day.
Misty
Okay, well, that situation happened like a few months ago. I see him a lot because I'm like, involved in the classroom. But that was like a moment that happened a little while ago.
Jeffrey
Okay, what about you? Just.
Brooke
Well, hold on, let's hear what Alexis would say. What would your mom say to one of your teachers when you were in school?
Jeffrey
I want to know. I actually don't know what Barb would do.
Brooke
Yeah, okay, maybe you text Barb.
Jeffrey
Yeah, let me ask.
Brooke
We can get her advice on it while we. While we brainstorm some more.
Jeffrey
What if you just. Okay, because it is kind of out of the blue, right? Like, you haven't talked about hanging out outside of school. Can you just start with I have a crazy idea?
Brooke
Yeah, I like. I like the idea, Brooke, of leaving it open ended, where it's like, I have a big question to ask or like I have a crazy idea, something that's going to get him interested and make him respond. And we. Exactly. We need him to respond. So that would be perfect.
Jeffrey
And then if it goes bad, you could just say a class pizza party. Yeah, exactly.
Brooke
We need to keep the eject button on the table though. No, Alexis, we should have a backup plan. An eject button. Ready. How do you feel about that, Misty?
Misty
No, that sounds good. That sounds like. Like a neutral in.
Brooke
Yeah, yeah. No other divorced moms in your school are thinking this way, so let's start typing something out.
Misty
So I'm putting. I have a crazy idea and I'm gonna say I feel like we bonded.
Brooke
No, no, no. Don't put all your cards on the table.
Jeffrey
No, that's it. That's all you say.
Misty
Yes, I have a crazy idea, period.
Brooke
Well, like, I've been thinking.
Misty
Okay.
Brooke
I've been thinking about something for a while and I have a crazy idea.
Jeffrey
Any emojis or even that, like, little excited kind of blushy person blushy cheeks? No. Okay, if you wanted to leave an.
Brooke
Eject button, that's senior citizen grandma vibes, so let's not do that. We could just send the grandma emoji.
Jeffrey
Yeah, my mom sent sensual lips for a long time thinking that they were just regular kisses, so.
Brooke
Okay, reinforcing emojis are a bad idea. So let's just go emoji list on this one.
Misty
Okay, Got it. Should I send it?
Jeffrey
Yes, let's go.
Misty
Okay, I sent it.
Jeffrey
All right, you're freaking out. You don't need to freak out yet. I'm joke's on you. That's not what we wanted to say.
Brooke
We got her. Yeah. I'm just kidding. I'm totally kidding. You're gonna be fine. We've ripped the band aid off. Now we just have to wait and see if hot teacher Nick responds to you when we come back and continue with more Textual Healing try to score you a date right after this.
Jeffrey
Textual healing 101, Jeff.
Brooke
That's right. We're doing it right after this. If you're just joining us, we're in the middle of Textual Healing talking to a whose daughter is about to graduate from elementary school. She's been divorced for about a year now and felt like she had a moment with her daughter's teacher while they were setting up decorations at school together. Teacher's also single and she has now come to us asking for help because her daughter isn't going to be going to school there soon once she graduates. And now she's trying to put out the vibe over text that she is interested.
Jeffrey
Oh, my God. Can you imagine if this works out and you bring home your daughter's 5th grade teacher as your boyfriend?
Brooke
I mean, Misty, that's the dream, right?
Misty
It is kind of the dream, I'm not gonna lie.
Jeffrey
I mean, you know, he's good with kids and he can help with all her homework that you don't get.
Brooke
I don't want to bring the vibes down, but remember, we're still talking to a guy. It is hard for us to know when girls are hitting on us. Yeah. So we're gonna have to spell this out and be creative, especially teachers who always want to keep it professional whenever they're talking to parents. So there's a little bit of an extra barrier there. We've already sent one text, text that said, I've been thinking about something for a while and I have a crazy idea.
Jeffrey
Tell us he responded, please.
Misty
Okay, so he said, he responded. He said, hey, best room mom in the world. Love to hear it. What you got?
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
He called you a room mom.
Jeffrey
He still thinks that her idea is going to be like a pizza party like you said.
Brooke
Alexis, maybe he can't assume. He's a teacher. He can't go like, hey, sexy. Yeah, he's got to let her leave. Maybe pizza parties are his love language, though. So we're still not out of the game. He is, you know, he's an elementary school guy after all.
Jeffrey
Well, I think right now you need to establish that you're not talking as the room mom right now. Yeah, because I'm a room parent. I get it. You know, you need to be like, actually, this idea is for outside the classroom.
Brooke
Yeah, I'm taking my room mom clothes off right now.
Jeffrey
Okay. Slowly. I think you say hat, not. Oh, okay.
Brooke
Fair. Just one article of clothing. Okay, so maybe that's a good way to start. Actually, I'm Taking my room mom hat off right now.
Jeffrey
And my ideas for outside the classroom.
Brooke
Yes, I actually like this.
Misty
Okay, gotcha.
Brooke
Should we do. Hang on, my room emoji. Is there, like, a celebration emoji? Like, where they're blowing the p. Oh.
Jeffrey
Sexy red lady dance emoji?
Brooke
What about just the smirk, maybe?
Jeffrey
Oh, oh, like the wink.
Brooke
The little smirky guy.
Jeffrey
We're going back after that.
Brooke
Yeah. What do you think? Misty? Like full purple devil, but it's flirty. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Misty
Yeah. Okay. I like the smirk one.
Brooke
Okay, go ahead and send that.
Jeffrey
The smirk makes up for the hat comment. Yeah, that makes it sexier.
Brooke
I'm a mom, but I'm a fun mom.
Jeffrey
Yeah, that's what it says.
Brooke
So there we go.
Jeffrey
So funny.
Misty
Okay, okay, I sent it.
Brooke
Oh, my God.
Jeffrey
You can't go back from smirk emoji. Nope. You can't?
Misty
No.
Brooke
Well, you can't.
Jeffrey
What? Really?
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
How?
Brooke
You could say your finger slipped.
Jeffrey
Yeah, nobody buys that.
Brooke
Send 10 angry swearing emojis right now. That's what I meant to say.
Jeffrey
My daughter got a hold of my phone. Just do poop emojis. That's the only one my kids like.
Brooke
You know, he's a teacher. He'll buy that. So it's out there, basically. Or at least we're starting to put the vibe out there. We're stepping away from room mom into just regular mom.
Jeffrey
You know, it may take a minute for him to, like, process. Right. Because this is a shock to him to get this. Yeah.
Misty
Wait, wait, wait, wait. He's totally running back, like, right now. Wait, wait, wait.
Brooke
Oh, he's writing. She didn't say the word. Are you guys gonna do it? No, I don't say it unless I hear the word. Okay, okay, okay.
Jeffrey
It's rules.
Brooke
Only the real ones know what I'm talking about.
Jeffrey
There's rules to that song.
Brooke
Did he send it?
Misty
He answered. Yeah. Okay, so.
Brooke
Okay, what does he say?
Misty
Oh, my gosh. Twitter. Okay, so it says. Oh. Does this have anything to do with the top secret mission Ava told me about last week?
Jeffrey
What?
Misty
So weird. That's my daughter.
Brooke
Ava's your daughter? You have a top secret mission or the teacher has a top secret mission?
Jeffrey
No, no, her daughter does. What do you know? What? Do you know what he's talking about with your daughter?
Misty
I actually. I have no idea. That is so weird.
Brooke
Okay, maybe the wires are getting crossed here. He's probably thinking of something different than the conversation we're trying to have with him.
Jeffrey
Dude, he thinks it's about kids in school. God, does this guy not know what a smirk emoji is?
Brooke
He's a good teacher. Gu.
Jeffrey
Next time.
Brooke
What happened to all the pervy teachers from when I was growing up?
Jeffrey
Exactly.
Brooke
Bring them back.
Jeffrey
Yeah, the ones with weird lunch visit hours.
Brooke
Yeah. Oh, so sorry we're hating on your crush now, missy.
Jeffrey
I feel like we gotta get him off the kid thing, though.
Brooke
Well, what is this top secret mission that her daughter is talking to her teacher about, though? Shouldn't we ask what that is?
Misty
Yeah, I would love to know what that is, because if that's something, like, weird and creepy that I. I don't know about. That's scary.
Jeffrey
Why would it be weird and creepy? It's the most.
Misty
What's the top secret mission like?
Jeffrey
What's that?
Brooke
Did you already.
Jeffrey
Did you already text that back?
Misty
I sent it. I asked him what the top secret mission was.
Brooke
Oh, okay.
Jeffrey
Okay. Now I feel like we're really going far away from the flirting.
Brooke
Did you put another smirk on the end of the top secret mission text?
Misty
I didn't this time.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
Wasted on this man. He doesn't get.
Brooke
We can always jump up to the purple devil emoji if you get real desperate. Yeah, I mean, it's risky, but.
Jeffrey
No, I think you got to be.
Brooke
A scenario for that.
Jeffrey
Really literal with this guy. Yeah.
Brooke
Yeah.
Misty
Oh, wait, there's dots.
Brooke
Okay. On this one, Alexis only.
Jeffrey
Go, dots, dots, dots, dots, dots. I hate that so much. Okay, well, you did it wrong. There's a right way to do it. In one way is with energy and fun.
Brooke
I like the way she did it.
Jeffrey
Are you serious? Yeah.
Brooke
Did he write sorry? He texted back, what's the secret mission?
Misty
So he goes, ava keeps coming in at recess and telling me you talk about me at dinner, and I should ask you out already.
Brooke
What? Wait, No. I am so embarrassed for you. Your daughter. Your daughter's going in and saying, ask my mom out?
Jeffrey
Yeah, why wouldn't she? It's her favorite teacher.
Brooke
Oh, God.
Jeffrey
Her mom is. You know, kids can't. I can't keep secrets. This is perfect. Why do you guys think this is?
Brooke
Misty. This must be so embarrassing. She took all your playing cards away from you.
Jeffrey
What are you gonna write back?
Misty
I. I don't even know. She stole my whole game. Oh, my God.
Brooke
Okay, Misty, here's the good news. Is that he wouldn't have said that to you if he wasn't interested.
Jeffrey
Oh, that's a good point.
Brooke
The fact that he's bringing it up means that he feels like it's a safe thing to talk about with you guys.
Jeffrey
You need to put embarrassed face emoji and then just say, oh, my God, my daughter just blew up my game.
Brooke
Yeah, she's grounded for life, and you and I have a date. Is that too.
Jeffrey
Don't mention the daughter.
Brooke
Yeah, don't go too sexy with it.
Misty
No, the first part's good.
Jeffrey
I think you say, oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed.
Brooke
Blush emoji or the blush.
Jeffrey
I like the hands over the eyes. Oh, yeah, that's good.
Brooke
Either.
Jeffrey
Good one, Alexis.
Misty
I put the hands over the eyes just because it's a little more embarrassing.
Brooke
Okay. Yeah.
Jeffrey
And then just, like, how she called me out or something.
Brooke
One thing that I know is good to get people to respond is like, I don't even know what to say, Todd. Very true. Because then it puts it in his court.
Misty
Okay, okay, I sent it.
Jeffrey
Oh, my God. Okay, you guys, this is perfect. He's. That is such a flirty thing for him to say back to you. It really is, but your daughter's gonna have some really unrealistic expectations about this date.
Brooke
Yeah. And also, you probably need to have a conversation with your daughter about what needs to stay at the dinner table and what gets shared with everybody in your life.
Misty
I'm only wondering that. My mind is just, like, spinning with what else her teachers know.
Brooke
He doesn't like you.
Jeffrey
You know, teachers know everything. Kids got the biggest mouth.
Misty
When he did reply. Okay, so he said. He said, yeah, she said you were going to reach out to a radio show about it and call me. Oh, my God.
Brooke
So she threw us under the bus. Ava, wait, wait.
Jeffrey
I want to hear what he said.
Misty
He said you were going to reach out to a radio show and call me, so I want to avoid that. Oh, boy.
Brooke
Oops.
Misty
He said, are you free Friday?
Jeffrey
Are you free Friday?
Brooke
He's still on radio. Is he going to be.
Jeffrey
That's okay.
Brooke
He doesn't know what the good news is. Misty, he asked you out, it sounds like. That is so cute.
Jeffrey
And you know what? We. You actually didn't need our help. Ava had your back the whole time. Yeah. Your daughter's got you, man.
Misty
I cannot believe this worked.
Jeffrey
Hey, give us an update after the date. I want to hear how it goes.
Misty
Oh, absolutely. Or my daughter will call you and.
Brooke
Let you know that's a successful textual healing. If you're too shy to do a second date or anything else that involves phone to phone conversations, why don't you email us and we can help text your problems away? That's Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

Podcast Summary: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Episode: Textual Healing: Hot Teacher Nick
Release Date: March 23, 2025
Host: iHeartPodcasts
In this episode of Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update, hosts Brooke and Jeffrey introduce a new segment titled Textual Healing, dedicated to assisting listeners in navigating the often tricky terrain of text-based communication in relationships. The episode centers around helping a listener named Misty craft the perfect text message to pursue a romantic interest—her daughter's fifth-grade teacher, Nick—after a meaningful interaction during a school event.
At the beginning of the episode, Brooke and Jeffrey unveil their new segment, Textual Healing, designed to provide listeners with actionable advice on composing effective and appropriate text messages in various relationship scenarios.
Jeffrey (02:54):
"I want us to hurry this up."
Brooke (03:16):
"You need to text someone. You need some advice. You don't know what to say, so you hit us up."
The hosts emphasize that while the segment may sound straightforward, it promises engaging and dramatic discussions, inviting listeners to interact and seek help for their texting dilemmas.
Misty reaches out to the show seeking assistance in sending a text to Nick, her daughter's teacher, following an unexpected and somewhat awkward but promising interaction during a school decoration event.
Misty (05:31):
"Hi, guys."
Jeffrey (05:50):
"So tell us what made you email the show and how can we help heal you textually?"
Misty elaborates that while helping decorate for her daughter's elementary school graduation, she and Nick shared a moment that went beyond typical teacher-parent interactions. Now that her daughter is graduating, Misty feels it's the right time to explore the potential for a personal relationship with Nick.
Brooke and Jeffrey engage in a collaborative effort to guide Misty in drafting a text that balances professionalism with personal interest. They discuss various strategies to ensure the message is received positively without crossing professional boundaries.
Brooke (08:35):
"We need to bring out her sexual side."
Jeffrey (10:05):
"I have a crazy idea, something that's going to get him interested and make him respond."
The team deliberates on the use of emojis, tone, and content to avoid misinterpretation. Misty sends her initial draft:
Misty (10:40):
"I have a crazy idea."
While the first attempt does not yield the desired response, Nick engages by referencing a "top secret mission," which Misty attributes to her daughter's playful remarks.
Upon receiving Nick's ambiguous response, Brooke and Jeffrey reassess their approach. They recognize that the initial text may have been too vague and advise Misty to clarify her intentions without overstepping boundaries.
Jeffrey (16:28):
"Dude, he thinks it's about kids in school. God, does this guy not know what a smirk emoji is?"
Brooke (19:05):
"Blush emoji or the blush."
