Speaker 1 (00:06):
Text you will healing textual Mmmm hmm. There is one
place that we need you to be touching right now.
It's not each other, it's your phones.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yes, we want you to stretch those thumbs and flex
those fingers and prepare to type something that feels oh
so right for textual healing, a segment where we take
your messy, confusing, emotionally unstable drafts and help you craft
them into poetic messages that instantly fix all of your problems.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Is a promise there?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Or you know, at least that don't completely ruin your life? Okay, there,
start there.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
That's really we need to set the bar.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
You don't have to stretch and use your hands. You
can use whatever you want to do. That is true.
Any part of your body is totally fine.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
That's what you mean.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, it's up to you. And who's sliding into our
inbox for a little textual TLC. A request just came
in this morning from one of our listeners named Alana,
who says she's in a little bit of a bad spot.
So Alana, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, Hey, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
You're like God. Producer Boyd is probably opening stuff because
Jeff doesn't get to anything for weeks.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah, I mean that's a quick turnaround. Is it like
an emergency? Is that why you emailed this morning?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, it's a little timely. I would say.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Okay, So Alana, it's set in your email because it
was passed on to me that you were recently added
into a random group chat, like by accident.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I don't know. I don't know any of the numbers,
but I was just kind of in the mood to
play long and.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Like joke around in the group chat. When text back
the scammer that, I'm like, yes, I will send your money.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I mean the guy on Thanksgiving, like remember the viral
guy who make it years ago? I remember, and he
like went over to her house. She was like a grandma,
And now he goes over to her house everything.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it all a joke.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, so this must be why our producer gave me
the screenshots of the conversation. You must have sent it to.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Him, Yes, yes, yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I'll just I guess read the conversation that happened. The
first message, just to recap was hey, everyone, just making
sure we're set for Saturday. Another person writes, yep, can't wait,
and a third person responds, this year is gonna be wild. Lol.
That's when Alana joins the chat and she writes, haha, yeah,
(02:28):
totally gonna be epic. Oh. I like okay, I like that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You're not even like you're just.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
That's a perfect way to blend in your because you're agreeing,
you're forwarding, like you see my part of the girl.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
He's followed up with, please share pictures from last year
because I want to know what it is.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yes. The conversation continues. They start casually referencing stuff, but
it's kind of vague what they're saying. Like Person one says,
hope nobody gets too crazy like last time, dot dot dot.
Person two says l m a O not naming names,
but someone in caps almost lost a tooth. Oh my gosh.
(03:11):
Person three still banned from that Applebee's ha ha, and
then Alana jumps in again. She says, no goats this year, please.
Alana said that I don't understand a lot of.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Goats, so I just thought it was funny, like kind
of random, uh, you know, like goats are always in
the frat movies where things get out of control. So
I just like one't for it.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, usually the cops arrived shortly after the goat show up, so.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
And she can always say I met greatest of all time.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
That's the chat continues. Person two says, o MG, we
should get a goat exclamation exclamation down. Person one says,
I know a guy with a barn we could borrow.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Person three, bigger fence, fewer lawsuits than Alana writes l
O L. Barn.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
See, Yeah, I was taking that maybe they were in
their early twenties until somebody brought in lawsuits and then
I'm like, well, yeah, all their crowds.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
The person one says, I'm serious. I will call during lunch. Okay,
So now this is it's getting a little bit strange
with the goats and the barn talk.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Maybe it's like get the organization for the Florida Games.
I thought it was just a crazy yoga retreat, you
know they go yoga barn.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I could see that, but Alta, do you have any
idea what they could be talking about?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Honestly, I have no ideas. My mind goes to a
few different places. I kind of want to know more,
but if it gets even weirder, maybe I don't want
to know more. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I think you should get an invite to whatever this
is and show up, because it'd be like one of
those viral moments, right, yeah, do it for the plot basically, yeah,
you got to.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I mean this is definitely different than most of the
textual healings that we do, where we have a obvious
problem and we're trying to help them fix the problem.
In this case, Alana is just curious what's going on
with this random chat?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Oh, I have an idea. Are we ready to text
a group?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
What if she texts.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
In, Oh my god, you guys, I lost the information.
Can you resend it to me?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
She's still in the group.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
The thing is, I don't know if they have a location yet,
but they would have looking for a barn, right. Oh.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I was thinking it was like an evite maybe or
something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I mean, you could she could still just play in
the middle of what she was doing, be like, oh wow,
I guess we're really going to go all out for
the goat. Huh. I don't know if we've ever done
this before because that kind of keeps it in like
the general realm.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, but we need them to get more specific.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
We needed them to like say something specific back so
we can.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Figure it out.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I guess I could say, like, are we going to
go with the goat theam or are we going to
do what we did last year? Like trying to get
more information?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
That good because they might offer up what happened last
year and we'll get a clear idea of what this is.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
You're gonna say yes or no.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Maybe or make it more open ended.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Okay, how about this?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Are we gonna go with the goat theme this year?
Or what theme was everybody's favorite in the past?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, because then you're asking.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
For an answer instead of just a yes or no.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Alana, how about that?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I can try that?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Okay, Yeah, so are we really going with the goat theme?
You can put a little goat emoji? What's everybody's favorite
theme from the past?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Okay, wonder what this is?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I don't know, but it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yeah, And I'm going to a group message so many
people can apply so fast.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I've never been an accomplice to a crime that hasn't
happened yet, So.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Goats belong in bars.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
If the police are listening to this in the future,
just know I am on the fence, and I have
no part in pushing this forward defense. That's holding the
goat inside.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
By the way, very legal.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
All right, So Alana, you've sent that, we're gonna take
a break. Okay, cool, We're gonna take a break. Come
back and see if the group chat continues with more
Textual Healing right after this, if you're just joining us,
we were called in to do a last minute edition
of Textual Healing where one of our Liststeners Alana, messaged
our show. She reached out just this morning saying she's
(07:04):
in a weird situation.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, she just started a goat party on accident.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah it is, because it all started when she was
accidentally added to a group chat with a bunch of
people that she does not know and decided to respond
to it just to mess with them and have a
little bit of fun.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
She wasn't even being mean or anything. She just being silly.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
It sounded like these random people were talking about how
they do a party every year, and last year's party
got out of control. Alana wanted to feel like she
was part of the group, so that's why she brought
up a goat, saying no goats this year please, and
the rest of the chat has decided to run with that,
where now they're talking about visiting people's barns, hopping fences,
(07:50):
possible lawsuits.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
It makes sense because remember we did learn they were
banned from Applebee's.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, this is a group that tends to take things
a little bit beyond the line, so we think, yeah,
we're not really sure. But that's why Alana is curious.
She wants to dig a little deeper to figure out
what we're actually working with here. And that's why we
sent are we going with the goat theme? Idea? What
was our favorite theme from years before?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, and a lot of They come back with a
detailed list of what Yeah, it's with pictures, right, bro,
give us some idea of what we're talking about, Alana.
Have they responded?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah, I have a few messages.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, what do they say?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Okay, buckle up. Person two says the one from six
years ago, the buzz saw one, buzz saw, buzzsaw six
years This is a.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Only good things happened around buzz saws.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
So don't know, I don't know. But then Person one says, yeah,
it was before you joined. You'll get used to it, though.
Just be sure to bring gloves this time, gloves and
person recess and trash.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Bags, trash bags? Whoa cleaning up volunteers?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, you guys are thinking awfully innocent for gloves and
trash bags.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I mean, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Nobody's going to habitat for humanity and then getting barred
from Applebee's.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
The chen too nicely. We don't want these folks back.
We're cleaning up highways drunk. It's starting to feel creepy. Yeah,
this isn't like your normal party, vibele Ona.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Why do they want to bring a go and a
buzz saw? That's not good?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Are you sure that you want to keep going down
this pathlon? Or is it time to ask? Hey, you know,
what's the deal with all the weird supplies?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I'm honestly so curious. I say, we keep going?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
You want to keep going?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Wait, this is good though, because the buzz saw happened
before your tie, you can ask about it.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You can ask your details. I never heard about that.
What happened?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
No, nobody likes that.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Maybe we need more examples from just besides the buzzsaw idea. Yeah, like,
maybe we do the play along thing and we go
you know, well, what exactly are we doing? Because I'm
still having trouble remembering last year's it was that crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, okay, can I try that?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah? Sure, go for it. We're just trying to collect
more information from these people because we're still not one
hundred percent sure what even is that they do every year?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
If you wanted to find out what the group is,
you say, what should we title our Facebook group?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I've been working on getting us a page. Nobody different
Facebook groups. It's partyful the app you text it, bro whatever. Dude,
they sound like old people.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
People party guys, guys, guys guys, very fond and hang
on hand, very fond of that.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So the last thing that you said was what exactly
are we doing this year? Because I don't remember what
we did last year? It was so crazy? What did
they write?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Back?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Person line says, don't worry, it's all part of the fun.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Not remembering things is part of the fun. That sounds
super stickchyeah.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
That's the whole goal, is.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
To super back when I used to drink.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
That was yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
So then Person three goes, yeah, nothing to be nervous about.
We've got everything under control.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
What do they because they got banned from an Applebee's.
I don't know if that that's like the opposite.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Of being ordered to initiate you this year to me,
I don't know you were there last year.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
And then person too after that says, just trust stuff.
It's going to be a blast.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Don't trust them who they are.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, anyone else thought this could be like the coolest
church ever with a baptism, Yeah, right, and the bowl
of kool aid that you all have to drink at
the same time. Yeah, because that's kind of where it's going.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
That doesn't end well, that's a cult.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah. So if you're just joining us, we're in the
middle of textual healing. We're helping out our listener, Alana,
who was caught up in a group chat where she
doesn't know anybody is started with her innocently wanting to
mess with them because it sounded like they did an
annual party. But now we're getting down into really strange territory. Yeah,
it's kind of snowballs. Anybody that says just trust us,
(11:57):
nothing bad is going to happen. That's not good spot
you want to be in.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
No, And I'm getting more messages hand.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Wait more coming in. I love group chats. Many people
are in this group.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
There are four other numbers, four people in the group.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Okay, so now what are they writing?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Okay, back to person one, they say, we don't talk
about last year, and then Kerson three reiterates that and says,
remember no talking on text about it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Oh great, so we're just going to broadcast all this.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Oh god, they made a rule where you can't recap
no paper trail of what happened last year.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I don't know what if this is actually something illegal?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yea, I brought that up last segment, Brooke, and you
were like, Pasha legal Schmiegel. Yeah, I have enough lawyers
to get out of it.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Because I thought it was a fun barn party.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Jeff with a goat, like who hasn't been to one
of those we're talking about buzz saws and.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's gonna be like crime. Group uses goat to rob Casinos.
Radio show gives them the idea. Oh god, they were.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Saying not to be nervous. But but then person who
just said bring the right gear and no questions. Okay,
what now.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Sound like Ocean eleven. We have trash bags, gloves and
the right gear.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
And it sounds like they don't know you that well,
they think.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You are, like you're the new initiative.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
They don't wait, here's another one.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Okay, wait, this is weird. Okay.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
So then they.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Say, also, as a reminder, dot dot dot, we don't
talk about Darryl.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
They have a lot of things they don't talk about.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Okay, I'm sorry, there's a Darrel involved. This is some
country tookes. We got a Darryl're.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Stealing a goat. Sounds like there used to be a
Daryl until things went bad, and now we don't talk
about him anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Oh my gosh, So okay, and they go, sorry, you're right, Saturday,
let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Sounds like is in on the group chat? Are you
still wanting to continue down the rabbit hole and dig
deeper here?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Ala, I want to know what this is. We don't
have any closure.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, I really want to know too. I just feel
like this is getting really sketchy.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Now. I mean, maybe you can text just so that
we can get some clarity. Maybe we bring up all
of our fears right now and we say, hey, guys,
I'm not looking to get locked up by the way,
l O L.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Hopefully like hopefully they'll be like it's not a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
What about this?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
What about you have to tell your emergency contact something?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Like, you're so not cool?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I got.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
My mom, says curfeuse at nine. So tell me you're
without telling me you're a nark. Okay, what do you think, Alana?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Okay, I actually just sent I'm not looking to get
locked up.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Okay, I gotta say it was in my emergency contact.
I'll back. I'll back Jeff on that one.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Okay, Okay, Okay, here we go.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Did someone text back?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Okay, yeah, we got one person one again and they
say for the last time, no one's going to jail.
Just a really big goat costume.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
It's a costume party.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
What really big costume?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Like a group goat costume party.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I feel like I'm more confused now because I thought
it was a real goat.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Now it's just a costume that just doesn't sound like fun. Okay,
I feel like you should be like, you know what,
I'm busy, guys. I don't think I can make it.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
It would make sense if they're in big costumes while
they got banned from Applebee's.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'm just
gonna not respond for a bit. I just goat costume.
They're a real goat. I don't know. I feel this
is all still kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
You're not into goat boys, huh, I guess not.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Make sure you do get their address though, in text
over to us, just because some of us might want
to do some research.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I will, I will.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We'll post the address for the goat costume party up
on Brook and Jeffrey's Insta stories if it comes out.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Wouldn't it be great if the real goats are in costumes.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I would totally go to the diabase. So that would also
get you banned from Appleby's.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
It's Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Text you will healing textual Mmmm hmm. There is one
place that we need you to be touching right now.
It's not each other, it's your phones.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yes, we want you to stretch those thumbs and flex
those fingers and prepare to type something that feels oh
so right for textual healing, a segment where we take
your messy, confusing, emotionally unstable drafts and help you craft
them into poetic messages that instantly fix all of your problems.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Is a promise there?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Or you know, at least that don't completely ruin your life? Okay, there,
start there.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
That's really we need to set the bar.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
You don't have to stretch and use your hands. You
can use whatever you want to do. That is true.
Any part of your body is totally fine.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
That's what you mean.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, it's up to you. And who's sliding into our
inbox for a little textual TLC. A request just came
in this morning from one of our listeners named Alana,
who says she's in a little bit of a bad spot.
So Alana, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, Hey, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
You're like God. Producer Boyd is probably opening stuff because
Jeff doesn't get to anything for weeks.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah, I mean that's a quick turnaround. Is it like
an emergency? Is that why you emailed this morning?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, it's a little timely. I would say.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Okay, So Alana, it's set in your email because it
was passed on to me that you were recently added
into a random group chat, like by accident.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I don't know. I don't know any of the numbers,
but I was just kind of in the mood to
play long and.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Like joke around in the group chat. When text back
the scammer that, I'm like, yes, I will send your money.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I mean the guy on Thanksgiving, like remember the viral
guy who make it years ago? I remember, and he
like went over to her house. She was like a grandma,
And now he goes over to her house everything.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it all a joke.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, so this must be why our producer gave me
the screenshots of the conversation. You must have sent it to.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Him, Yes, yes, yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I'll just I guess read the conversation that happened. The
first message, just to recap was hey, everyone, just making
sure we're set for Saturday. Another person writes, yep, can't wait,
and a third person responds, this year is gonna be wild. Lol.
That's when Alana joins the chat and she writes, haha, yeah,
(02:28):
totally gonna be epic. Oh. I like okay, I like that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You're not even like you're just.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
That's a perfect way to blend in your because you're agreeing,
you're forwarding, like you see my part of the girl.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
He's followed up with, please share pictures from last year
because I want to know what it is.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yes. The conversation continues. They start casually referencing stuff, but
it's kind of vague what they're saying. Like Person one says,
hope nobody gets too crazy like last time, dot dot dot.
Person two says l m a O not naming names,
but someone in caps almost lost a tooth. Oh my gosh.
(03:11):
Person three still banned from that Applebee's ha ha, and
then Alana jumps in again. She says, no goats this year, please.
Alana said that I don't understand a lot of.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Goats, so I just thought it was funny, like kind
of random, uh, you know, like goats are always in
the frat movies where things get out of control. So
I just like one't for it.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, usually the cops arrived shortly after the goat show up, so.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
And she can always say I met greatest of all time.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
That's the chat continues. Person two says, o MG, we
should get a goat exclamation exclamation down. Person one says,
I know a guy with a barn we could borrow.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Person three, bigger fence, fewer lawsuits than Alana writes l
O L. Barn.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
See, Yeah, I was taking that maybe they were in
their early twenties until somebody brought in lawsuits and then
I'm like, well, yeah, all their crowds.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
The person one says, I'm serious. I will call during lunch. Okay,
So now this is it's getting a little bit strange
with the goats and the barn talk.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Maybe it's like get the organization for the Florida Games.
I thought it was just a crazy yoga retreat, you
know they go yoga barn.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I could see that, but Alta, do you have any
idea what they could be talking about?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Honestly, I have no ideas. My mind goes to a
few different places. I kind of want to know more,
but if it gets even weirder, maybe I don't want
to know more. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I think you should get an invite to whatever this
is and show up, because it'd be like one of
those viral moments, right, yeah, do it for the plot basically, yeah,
you got to.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I mean this is definitely different than most of the
textual healings that we do, where we have a obvious
problem and we're trying to help them fix the problem.
In this case, Alana is just curious what's going on
with this random chat?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Oh, I have an idea. Are we ready to text
a group?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
What if she texts.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
In, Oh my god, you guys, I lost the information.
Can you resend it to me?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
She's still in the group.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
The thing is, I don't know if they have a location yet,
but they would have looking for a barn, right. Oh.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I was thinking it was like an evite maybe or
something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I mean, you could she could still just play in
the middle of what she was doing, be like, oh wow,
I guess we're really going to go all out for
the goat. Huh. I don't know if we've ever done
this before because that kind of keeps it in like
the general realm.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, but we need them to get more specific.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
We needed them to like say something specific back so
we can.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Figure it out.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I guess I could say, like, are we going to
go with the goat theam or are we going to
do what we did last year? Like trying to get
more information?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
That good because they might offer up what happened last
year and we'll get a clear idea of what this is.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
You're gonna say yes or no.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Maybe or make it more open ended.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Okay, how about this?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Are we gonna go with the goat theme this year?
Or what theme was everybody's favorite in the past?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, because then you're asking.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
For an answer instead of just a yes or no.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Alana, how about that?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I can try that?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Okay, Yeah, so are we really going with the goat theme?
You can put a little goat emoji? What's everybody's favorite
theme from the past?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Okay, wonder what this is?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I don't know, but it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yeah, And I'm going to a group message so many
people can apply so fast.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I've never been an accomplice to a crime that hasn't
happened yet, So.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Goats belong in bars.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
If the police are listening to this in the future,
just know I am on the fence, and I have
no part in pushing this forward defense. That's holding the
goat inside.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
By the way, very legal.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
All right, So Alana, you've sent that, we're gonna take
a break. Okay, cool, We're gonna take a break. Come
back and see if the group chat continues with more
Textual Healing right after this, if you're just joining us,
we were called in to do a last minute edition
of Textual Healing where one of our Liststeners Alana, messaged
our show. She reached out just this morning saying she's
(07:04):
in a weird situation.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, she just started a goat party on accident.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah it is, because it all started when she was
accidentally added to a group chat with a bunch of
people that she does not know and decided to respond
to it just to mess with them and have a
little bit of fun.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
She wasn't even being mean or anything. She just being silly.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
It sounded like these random people were talking about how
they do a party every year, and last year's party
got out of control. Alana wanted to feel like she
was part of the group, so that's why she brought
up a goat, saying no goats this year please, and
the rest of the chat has decided to run with that,
where now they're talking about visiting people's barns, hopping fences,
(07:50):
possible lawsuits.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
It makes sense because remember we did learn they were
banned from Applebee's.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, this is a group that tends to take things
a little bit beyond the line, so we think, yeah,
we're not really sure. But that's why Alana is curious.
She wants to dig a little deeper to figure out
what we're actually working with here. And that's why we
sent are we going with the goat theme? Idea? What
was our favorite theme from years before?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, and a lot of They come back with a
detailed list of what Yeah, it's with pictures, right, bro,
give us some idea of what we're talking about, Alana.
Have they responded?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah, I have a few messages.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, what do they say?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Okay, buckle up. Person two says the one from six
years ago, the buzz saw one, buzz saw, buzzsaw six
years This is a.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Only good things happened around buzz saws.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
So don't know, I don't know. But then Person one says, yeah,
it was before you joined. You'll get used to it, though.
Just be sure to bring gloves this time, gloves and
person recess and trash.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Bags, trash bags? Whoa cleaning up volunteers?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, you guys are thinking awfully innocent for gloves and
trash bags.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I mean, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Nobody's going to habitat for humanity and then getting barred
from Applebee's.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
The chen too nicely. We don't want these folks back.
We're cleaning up highways drunk. It's starting to feel creepy. Yeah,
this isn't like your normal party, vibele Ona.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Why do they want to bring a go and a
buzz saw? That's not good?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Are you sure that you want to keep going down
this pathlon? Or is it time to ask? Hey, you know,
what's the deal with all the weird supplies?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I'm honestly so curious. I say, we keep going?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
You want to keep going?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Wait, this is good though, because the buzz saw happened
before your tie, you can ask about it.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You can ask your details. I never heard about that.
What happened?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
No, nobody likes that.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Maybe we need more examples from just besides the buzzsaw idea. Yeah, like,
maybe we do the play along thing and we go
you know, well, what exactly are we doing? Because I'm
still having trouble remembering last year's it was that crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, okay, can I try that?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah? Sure, go for it. We're just trying to collect
more information from these people because we're still not one
hundred percent sure what even is that they do every year?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
If you wanted to find out what the group is,
you say, what should we title our Facebook group?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I've been working on getting us a page. Nobody different
Facebook groups. It's partyful the app you text it, bro whatever. Dude,
they sound like old people.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
People party guys, guys, guys guys, very fond and hang
on hand, very fond of that.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So the last thing that you said was what exactly
are we doing this year? Because I don't remember what
we did last year? It was so crazy? What did
they write?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Back?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Person line says, don't worry, it's all part of the fun.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Not remembering things is part of the fun. That sounds
super stickchyeah.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
That's the whole goal, is.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
To super back when I used to drink.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
That was yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
So then Person three goes, yeah, nothing to be nervous about.
We've got everything under control.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
What do they because they got banned from an Applebee's.
I don't know if that that's like the opposite.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Of being ordered to initiate you this year to me,
I don't know you were there last year.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
And then person too after that says, just trust stuff.
It's going to be a blast.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Don't trust them who they are.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, anyone else thought this could be like the coolest
church ever with a baptism, Yeah, right, and the bowl
of kool aid that you all have to drink at
the same time. Yeah, because that's kind of where it's going.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
That doesn't end well, that's a cult.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah. So if you're just joining us, we're in the
middle of textual healing. We're helping out our listener, Alana,
who was caught up in a group chat where she
doesn't know anybody is started with her innocently wanting to
mess with them because it sounded like they did an
annual party. But now we're getting down into really strange territory. Yeah,
it's kind of snowballs. Anybody that says just trust us,
(11:57):
nothing bad is going to happen. That's not good spot
you want to be in.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
No, And I'm getting more messages hand.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Wait more coming in. I love group chats. Many people
are in this group.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
There are four other numbers, four people in the group.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Okay, so now what are they writing?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Okay, back to person one, they say, we don't talk
about last year, and then Kerson three reiterates that and says,
remember no talking on text about it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Oh great, so we're just going to broadcast all this.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Oh god, they made a rule where you can't recap
no paper trail of what happened last year.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I don't know what if this is actually something illegal?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yea, I brought that up last segment, Brooke, and you
were like, Pasha legal Schmiegel. Yeah, I have enough lawyers
to get out of it.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Because I thought it was a fun barn party.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Jeff with a goat, like who hasn't been to one
of those we're talking about buzz saws and.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's gonna be like crime. Group uses goat to rob Casinos.
Radio show gives them the idea. Oh god, they were.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Saying not to be nervous. But but then person who
just said bring the right gear and no questions. Okay,
what now.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Sound like Ocean eleven. We have trash bags, gloves and
the right gear.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
And it sounds like they don't know you that well,
they think.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You are, like you're the new initiative.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
They don't wait, here's another one.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Okay, wait, this is weird. Okay.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
So then they.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Say, also, as a reminder, dot dot dot, we don't
talk about Darryl.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
They have a lot of things they don't talk about.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Okay, I'm sorry, there's a Darrel involved. This is some
country tookes. We got a Darryl're.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Stealing a goat. Sounds like there used to be a
Daryl until things went bad, and now we don't talk
about him anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Oh my gosh, So okay, and they go, sorry, you're right, Saturday,
let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Sounds like is in on the group chat? Are you
still wanting to continue down the rabbit hole and dig
deeper here?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Ala, I want to know what this is. We don't
have any closure.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, I really want to know too. I just feel
like this is getting really sketchy.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Now. I mean, maybe you can text just so that
we can get some clarity. Maybe we bring up all
of our fears right now and we say, hey, guys,
I'm not looking to get locked up by the way,
l O L.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Hopefully like hopefully they'll be like it's not a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
What about this?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
What about you have to tell your emergency contact something?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Like, you're so not cool?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I got.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
My mom, says curfeuse at nine. So tell me you're
without telling me you're a nark. Okay, what do you think, Alana?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Okay, I actually just sent I'm not looking to get
locked up.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Okay, I gotta say it was in my emergency contact.
I'll back. I'll back Jeff on that one.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Okay, Okay, Okay, here we go.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Did someone text back?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Okay, yeah, we got one person one again and they
say for the last time, no one's going to jail.
Just a really big goat costume.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
It's a costume party.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
What really big costume?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Like a group goat costume party.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I feel like I'm more confused now because I thought
it was a real goat.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Now it's just a costume that just doesn't sound like fun. Okay,
I feel like you should be like, you know what,
I'm busy, guys. I don't think I can make it.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
It would make sense if they're in big costumes while
they got banned from Applebee's.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'm just
gonna not respond for a bit. I just goat costume.
They're a real goat. I don't know. I feel this
is all still kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
You're not into goat boys, huh, I guess not.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Make sure you do get their address though, in text
over to us, just because some of us might want
to do some research.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I will, I will.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We'll post the address for the goat costume party up
on Brook and Jeffrey's Insta stories if it comes out.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Wouldn't it be great if the real goats are in costumes.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I would totally go to the diabase. So that would also
get you banned from Appleby's.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
It's Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
