The Greatest True Crime Stories Ever Told.
This season explores women from the 19th century to now.
Women who were murderers and scammers,
but also women who were photojournalists,
lawyers, writers, and more.
This podcast tells more than just the brutal gory details
of horrific acts.
I delve into the good, the bad, the difficult,
and all the nuance I can find,
because these are the stories that we need to know
to understand the intersection of society, justice,
and the fascinating workings
of the human psyche.

who are not just victims, but heroes or villains, or often somewhere in between.

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows
with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious. He was out of his mind and he wanted to bring the Catholic
left to its knees.

Hey, it's Brooke 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.
Yay!
And how would you explain that, Jose?
You need to text someone, you need some advice,
you don't know what to say, so you hit us up.
That's it. That made it sound kind of boring.
But I promise,
a lot more drama to come.
Let us know what you think in the comments, and of course,

Alright, let's get it started under the umbrella of
forbidden love
Assuming that you are single okay who in your life should you never ask out?
Mailman
But you know he's been around the block a few times.
Oh.
Literally.
Probably not.
Your grandpa's best friend?
Ew.
Oh.
Well, again, too experienced.
You'd never be able to keep up.
I was gonna say, I don't care how rich he is, Alexis.
Would he be able to keep up?
Well, one of our listeners is thinking about crossing
into the forbidden love zone.
Uh-oh. Because she had a moment in a school gymnasium, Well, one of our listeners is thinking about crossing into the forbidden love zone. Oh.
Because she had a moment in a school gymnasium, and now she needs our help before this chance
disappears forever.
It's got to be the janitor.
We'll find out.
You'll hear why it's going to be more than a little awkward in a brand new textual healing.
Hey.
That's coming up right after this
Textual healing
Textual of All the places that we want you to put your fingers. Maybe the number one place is on your phone
I don't think there's 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.
I love this segment.
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 I almost thought you're gonna say something passive aggressive which
I'm like that's also probably true 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 the Brooke and
Jeffrey in the morning hi thank you thank you so much. Hi guys.
Misty, are you in an airport right now?
You're at Carnaval in Brazil?
Yeah, there's a lot going on right here.
Okay.
Okay, how's this?
Better.
That sounds a lot better. Okay.
Okay, amazing. Great. I'm so sorry you guys.
You're good, Misty. So tell us what made you email the show and how can we help heal you textually?
Okay, so I want to send a text to my daughter's teacher your daughter's teacher
Yeah, okay, be awkward. It's a little awkward. So here's a lowdown. So yeah, my daughter is graduating elementary school She's in fifth grade
Don't cry don't cry It happens to every child.
I know.
I'm going to be there.
I'm going to cry.
I'm doing my best.
But I am a little bit happy about it
because I had to go to the school
to help decorate for an event.
And one of her teachers was there.
And we kind of had a moment.
Oh. What? Good or bad moment? What type of, yeah. like had a moment. Oh. What?
Wait, good or bad moment?
What type of, yeah, describe this moment to us.
And don't spare any details.
We were just decorating together
and we started really hitting it off
and we have a lot in common
and we had like sort of a heart to heart situation
where it got like a little deeper
than a teacher conversation.
Oh, like some chemistry's going on in there. Honestly, I've gone out drinking Like a little deeper than a teacher conversation
Drinking with some of my kids parents or
No chemistry but like you can be friends or just people right Okay, is that what you mean enough with how Brooke alienates herself at her children's school?
Let's talk more to misty here. Let's hang out not around the other pair. Misty, Misty, give us what's the lowdown with this
teacher? Are we talking guy, girl, married, single? What's the situation?
Hot, not. That's what Alexis wants to know.
So he is a guy, he's single. I am divorced as of like a little over a year.
Okay. Okay. That's a good time to start dating, right?
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
Because I am way too embarrassed
Yeah, wait, wait, do 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
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 were still at school. It would have been really awkward and now that she's graduating. I feel like it's good timing
Your daughter would have got better grades in school
though if you were dating in that kind.
After grade doesn't matter.
That's fine, if you want to avoid the awkwardness.
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.
You may be right.
And I'm not saying don't do it,
I just that I could see why. We gotta be creative.
We gotta do it better than the rest of the divorce law. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So what's this teacher's name?
So the teacher's name is 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.
Don't think he mentioned the kids.
I think it's a good thought, Jose.
But then she comes off as like the mom to the daughter,
and he's the teacher.
It like solidifies that relationship.
Exactly.
You're reestablishing the professional part.
We need to bring out her sexual side.
Yeah.
Now, Brooke, you, I don't know.
Hey, while we were decorating that gym, did you like my balloons?
Oh no.
Okay.
If you like a restraining order put out against you,
go with that one.
He will not even get that.
I think honestly, you just start with something really simple.
Like, I had so much fun with you the other day.
Hmm, 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
Okay, what about you just hold on what let's hear what Alexis would say. What would your mom say to one of your teachers?
Yeah, maybe you text barb and ask
We can get her advice on it while we uh, well we brainstorm some more I actually don't know what Barb would do. Yeah? Maybe you text Barb and ask. I'll get Barb. Yeah, let me ask her what she said.
And we can get her advice on it while we brainstorm some more.
What if you just, okay, because it is kind of out of the blue, right?
You haven't talked about hanging out outside of school.
Can you just start with, I have a crazy idea.
Yeah.
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 gonna get him interested and make him respond
And we exactly we need him to respond so that would be perfect if it goes bad. You could just say a class pizza party
We need to keep the eject button on the table though
How do you feel about that, Misty?
No, that sounds good. That sounds like like a neutral in. Yeah. No other divorced moms in your
school are thinking this way. So let's start typing something out. So I'm putting I have a crazy idea
that I'm going to say, I feel like we bonded. No, no all you say I have a crazy idea period
Yeah, I've been thinking okay. I've been thinking about something for a while, and I have a crazy idea
Or even that like little excited kind of blushy person
Grandma kind of blushy person. Blushy cheeks? No. Maybe just super blushy cheeks. Well, if you wanted to leave it a jacked button, not just a leave it.
That's senior citizen grandma vibes,
so let's not do that.
We could just send the grandma emoji.
Yeah.
My mom sent sensual lips for a long time
thinking that they were just regular kisses, so.
Reinforcing emojis are a bad idea,
so let's just go emoji-less on this one.
Okay, got it.
Should I send it? Yes. Let's go. Okay less on this one. Okay. Got it. Should I send it? Yeah. Yeah, let's go
You're freaking out you don't need to freak out yet
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.
This is like textual healing 101, Jeff.
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 mom 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.
The teacher's also single
and she has now come to us asking for help
because her daughter isn't gonna 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.
Oh my God. Can you imagine if this works out
and you bring home your daughter's fifth grade teacher
as your boyfriend?
I mean, Misty, that's the dream, right?
It is kind of the dream, I'm not gonna lie.
I mean, you know he's good with kids.
And he can help with all her homework that you don't get.
Seriously.
I don't wanna 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 that said,
I've been thinking about something for a while and I have a crazy idea.
Dot, dot, dot.
Tell us he responded, please.
Okay, so he said.
He responded.
He said, hey, best room mom in the world.
Love to hear it.
Dot, dot, dot.
What you got?
Okay.
Why is she going up school?
He called you a home mom.
Because he still thinks that her idea is going to be be like a pizza party like you said, Alexis.
And Jeff, with your point, he can't assume he's a teacher. He can't go like, hey sexy.
Yeah, that's true.
He's gotta let her lead.
Maybe pizza parties are his love language though, so we're still not out of the game.
Sorry.
He is an elementary school guy after all.
Well, I think right now you need to establish that you're not talking as the room mom right now
Yeah, I'm a room parent. I get it. You know you need to be like actually this idea is for outside the classroom
Yeah, I'm taking my room mom clothes off
I think you say hat
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 and my ideas for outside the classroom. Yes. I actually like this okay gotcha
Sexy red lady dance emoji what about just the smirk maybe
What do you think
Yeah, yeah, okay, I like the third one okay
Send that the smirk makes up for the hat comment
I'm a mom, but I a fun mom yeah so there we go okay okay I said my god you can't go back to work emoji no you can't know you can what really
yeah how you could say your finger slipped. That's what I meant to say.
And make up for it.
My daughter got a hold of my phone. Just do poop emojis.
That's the only one my kids like.
He's a teacher. He'll buy that.
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.
It may take a minute for him
to process. Right? Because this is a minute for him to like process.
Right?
Cause this is a shock to him to get this.
Yeah.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
He's totally running back like, no, wait, wait, wait.
Hello.
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.
It's rules.
The real ones know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, there's rules to that song.
Did he send it?
Yeah, okay.
Okay, what does he say? Oh my gosh?
Okay, so it says um oh
Does this have anything to do with the top secret mission Ava told me about last week? What so weird?
That's my daughter. He was your daughter
Yeah, you have a top secret mission or the teacher as a top no no her daughter does what do you know?
What do you know what he's talking about with your daughter. I have no idea that is so weird
Maybe the wires are getting crossed here. He's probably thinking of something different than the conversation. We're trying to have with
About kids in school
Not know what a smirk emoji is
Three perks next time!
What happened to all the pervy teachers from when I was growing up?
Exactly!
Bring them back!
Yeah, the ones with weird lunch visit hours.
Yeah!
Sorry, we're hating on your crush now, Missy.
I feel like we gotta get him off the kid thing, though.
Well, what is this top secret mission that her daughter is talking to her teacher about, though?
Shouldn't we ask what that is?
Yeah, I would love to know what that is because if that's something like weird and creepy that I don't know about that scary
What's the top secret mission like
You already text that back I sent it I asked him what's the top secret mission was okay?
Okay, now I feel like we're really going far away from the flirting
Did you put another smirk on the end of the top secret mission test? I?
Didn't this time I okay?
We can always jump up to the purple devil emoji
Risky, but no I think you gotta be a scenario for that really literal with this guy. Yeah. Oh wait
Right way to do it in one ways with energy and fun. I like the way she did it.
It's a protest.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Did he write?
Sorry.
He's actually back.
What's the secret mission?
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.
No!
What? Wait! No!
I am so embarrassed for you.
Your daughter?
No!
Your daughter's going in and saying ask my mom out?
Yeah, why wouldn't she? It's her favorite teacher.
No!
Oh god!
Her mom is missing. You know kids can't keep secrets.
This is perfect! Why do you guys think this is sad?
Misty, this must be so embarrassing.
Yeah.
Oh my god.
She took all your playing cards away from you.
What are you gonna write back?
I don't even know.
She stole my whole game.
Oh my god, okay.
Misty, here's the good news,
is that he wouldn't have said that to you
if he wasn't interested.
Oh, that's a good point.
The fact that he's bringing it up means that
he feels like it's a safe thing
to talk about with you.
Meeting in the middle here, guys.
You need to put embarrassed face emoji
and then just say, oh my god,
my daughter just blew up my game.
Yeah, she's grounded for life
and you and I have a date.
Yeah.
See, you can tell.
Oh god.
Is that too aggressive?
Don't mention the daughter.
Yeah, don't go too sexy with it.
No, the first part's good.
I think you say, oh my god, I'm so embarrassed. Blush emoji. Blushy. Or not the blush, I like the go too sexy with it. Oh the first part's good. I think you say oh my god. I'm so embarrassed
blush emoji
I like the hands or the eyes
Oh yeah that's a good one
Good one Alexis
I put the hands or the eyes just cause it's a little more embarrassed
Yeah, and then just like how she called me out or something
One thing that I know is good to get people to respond is like I don't even know what to say dot dot dot
Very true
Because then it puts it in his court
Okay, okay
You guys this is perfect he's that is such a flirty thing for him to say back
Yeah, it really is but your daughter's gonna have some really unrealistic expectations about this date
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. I'm only wondering that my mind is just like
spinning with what else her teachers know. Teachers know everything.
Kids got the biggest mouth. He did reply 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.
So.
What?
Wait, she threw us under the bus.
Oh my God.
Ava.
Wait, wait, I wanna hear what he said.
He said you were gonna reach out to a radio show
and call me, so I want to avoid that.
Oh boy.
Oops.
He said, are you free Friday?
Are you free Friday? Yay!
Yay!
But he's still on the radio.
Is he gonna be mad?
That's okay.
He doesn't know.
You know what?
The good news is Misty, he asked you out, it sounds like.
That is so cute.
That's been accomplished.
And you know what?
We actually didn't need our help.
Ava had your back the whole time.
Yeah.
Yeah, your daughter's got you, man.
I cannot believe this worked.
Hey, give us an update after the date.
I wanna hear how it goes. Yeah. Oh, give us an update after the date.
I want to hear how it goes.
Oh, absolutely.
Or my daughter will call you in like, yeah.
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.
