[Jeff]

Cap Apply the Burt Show Oddly enough, when we were in Disney for Burt's Big Adventure, I was the recipient of an incorrectly placed text message from our very own Joanna. And she corrected it very quickly, but the reaction, it didn't process that she sent it to the wrong person. At first, Like I thought it was an inside joke that I had missed and I deleted it as soon as I deleted it. I regret. Well, I remember what it said. It was a text message and it was like, hey baby, everybody loves my ring, I love you. And I was like. And I saw it come in from Joanna so I figured it was work related. And then it says, hey baby, everybody loves my ring, I love you. And I'm like, I don't get the joke.

[Jason Concepcion]

But Jason, Jeff. I mean I could sit where they're

[Jeff]

Apparently Joanna needs some more friends whose names started with J, A, J, B, JC or jd, right?

[Joanna]

I was so embarrassed when I realized because I always double check because it's happened to me in the past where I go to send Jason a text and I've accidentally scrolled down one too far because you're right below him and I realize, oh no, no, no, not Jeff, but Jason. So I go back and I fix it. Well, this time I didn' and when I went back to look at my phone to see if Jason had written back and it says Jeff$, I was like, oh my gosh, I feel like such an idiot.

[Jeff]

Well, it was only a couple minutes.

[Joanna]

It's later because I was actually like dirty talk, dang. Sexting. Nothing like that. And that's what I was afraid of because I was Like, I'm not. You know, let's. You know, we've sent text messages like that in the past, so. Like, pictures? Yeah. Not me and Jason. It wasn't a photo or anything like that.

[Jeff]

I sent them to Joanna, but she never responds.

[Jason Concepcion]

Right.

[Jeff]

She must just. She must just assume for other people or something. But I was like, I'm staring at it going, I don't get the joke.

[Jason Concepcion]

Well, if it's a sexed message, then Jeff would have totally said it's for me and not Jason. So it's, you know, the ring thing. At least you can't claim that.

[Jeff]

Yeah. Crap. Why couldn't I have gotten her a ring too? Then I could have saved it and pretended she loved me. But then, like, two minutes later, she wrote, oh, my God, so sorry. That was.

[Jason Concepcion]

Well, I mean, it came up because Katie accidentally sent a message to a former lover. To a former. Well, yeah. And so. But it was totally resolved. But, yeah, she was so embarrassed because it wasn't to me. It was just to a friend. But the way it was worded to the friend, it was, hey, miss you. When can I see you again? To her college buddy. But then when it ended up being somebody in the phone that, you know,

[Jeff]

she had a past encounter with.

[Jason Concepcion]

She had a past encounter with. Then, yeah, then it had a totally different context, you know?

[Jeff]

So, Joanna, I'm glad everybody likes your ring and I'd love you to.

[Joanna]

Thank you. I wanted him to know that people were complimenting me on my ring. I wanted him to know he did a good. And then I felt like an idiot when I sent it to Jeff. I love you, Jeff.
