Jeffrey
And Eden Levin said, I'm a singer of a swing metal band, Shoo be from Germany. And when we travel to shows, I force my band to listen to new episodes.
Alexis
Oh, my God.
Jeffrey
At first they ask, why did you put that on instead of music? But as the episode continues, I hear them laugh and comment. Thank you for making our travel time funny and my band members annoyed.
Alexis
Dude, let's go.
Brooke
This is the most complex band that's ever lived.
Jeffrey
I love it.

Podcast Advertiser
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.
Jeff
Whenever people email us saying they matched with someone online, we usually assume it's on one of the big dating apps. Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, Grumbler, all the usual ones. But one of our listeners says he found a lady on an app that I've personally never heard of before, but the name of it intrigues me alone.
Brooke
Oh, I love a good. Is it a pun? Tell me it's a pun.
Jeff
Let's find out more about it. We'll speak to Brian. Brian, welcome to the show, man.
Brian
Oh, thanks for having me.
Brooke
Oh, I feel like this is just gonna be one huge ad for a niche dating app that nobody knows about.
Brian
Yeah.
Jeff
Tell us about this particular app that you use. What's it called?
Brian
Well, the app that I'm on, it's called Bristler.
Podcast Advertiser
Bristler.
Jeff
Bristler, yeah. Is it like with a bris, Like a circumcision sort of thing?
Brian
Well, no, I think that one might be different, but more like Bristol, as in beards. So it's for women that like beards
Alexis
a lot better than beardos.
Brooke
Yeah. Or beardles.
Brian
I. I don't work for them, but I. I like it so far.
Brooke
So what kind of facial hair are you Sporting. Because I would assume you have to have some sort of requirement of beard or mustache to get on this app.
Brian
Yeah, you have to prove that you have a beard at least.
Alexis
Okay, so a goatee or, like, a mustache wouldn't fly on this site.
Brian
I mean, I've seen it, but I mean, I guess. Well, I guess I haven't because, you know, I'm only looking at the. The women do not have beards.
Jeff
No, it's okay. It's okay. You could say you're perusing the guys apps too, just for ideas.
Brooke
I just disagree that the women's don't have facial hair.
Jeff
I know. Brooke would be so popular on this app. She'd get so many swipes on her.
Brooke
Let it fly, girls. Let it fly.
Jeff
Okay, so I think we get the idea. What's the name of the woman that you matched with?
Brian
I matched with Olivia.
Brooke
Okay, okay. Did she hit you up first?
Brian
I reached out the beginning of the week and then have made plans for the weekend.
Poshmark Co-Host
Nice.
Jeff
All right, so where does a manly, masculine, bearded guy like yourself take a woman for a first date?
Brian
I like to go to Dave and Buster's.
Brooke
That's like a fun day. Little arcade, little alcohol.
Brian
Oh, amazing sliders. Those are my favorite.
Brooke
So what was it like when you first met her?
Brian
We were just polite at first and we gave a gentle hug.
Jeff
Oh, okay. So once we're done being polite, then what happened?
Brooke
Then they gave an aggressive.
Jeff
Yeah, get over here. Then I put my hand in a fist and things got real.
Brian
Oh. We just sat at the bar, got some food, then the conversation started flowing pretty naturally.
Alexis
Oh, good.
Jeff
Nice.
Jeffrey
Yeah, you get nervous. There's a lot of pressure on how your beard looks for this. Like, since that's her thing, you know?
Alexis
Yeah, you groom it, you wax it.
Brian
Oh, of course. I have all the oils and the trimmers. Made it look real nice.
Jeff
That's good. Okay, and when you two were talking, what did you, like, connect over? How'd you bond?
Brian
Well, we both bonded over just being down for kind of anything, I mean. Oh, that's great. And also how nice she was. She complimented me on, like, the way I looked, the beard, obviously, and then thought she was adventurous. Not a lot of girls would want to go to Dave and Buster's, but she was down for it.
Alexis
Did anything happen while you were playing games?
Brian
Games?
Alexis
Did you help her hold the gun or.
Brooke
Oh, I was thinking he, like, got too competitive.
Alexis
Oh, yeah.
Brooke
I'm trying to figure out what went wrong here.
Brian
Yeah, yeah, no, I cheered her on for the games. We were working as a team because we were trying to get enough tickets to get a stuffed animal. So we were there a long time.
Jeff
Okay. But now I'm with Brooke. How did you mess up?
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brian
Okay.
Olivia
So
Brian
I know it's more of a second and third date kind of thing you drop on someone, but I told her I'm a Disney adult.
Brooke
Oh, yeah.
Brian
You guys know what that is?
Brooke
Yeah, we're like, adult who's obsessed with Disney, maybe goes to Disneyland a lot
Jeff
for vacation, names their children after Disney characters, that sort of thing.
Alexis
You quiet down, dopey.
Jeffrey
Yeah, for that.
Brooke
That's a good point.
Alexis
There should be a Disney dating app.
Jeff
Why do you think bringing that up may have been a weird point?
Brian
You do have to tell someone. Not everyone's really into it. And she kind of was asking me about it and I think she was kind of like trying to get me to say, like, what that means for me. Like, what level is she working with here? I guess.
Jeff
Yeah. Like, are you a fan or do you have Donald Duck bed sheets?
Brian
Right. And so I told her, it's like, well, it means like with a group of friends, I go like five, six times a year.
Jeff
Five or six times.
Brooke
Okay.
Alexis
There's some adults that go every week.
Brooke
I'm going to be honest with you. I could see why, like, looking down the road, that would be hard in a relationship if you weren't both on the same boat there.
Jeff
Yeah. Did you gauge her love of Disney?
Brian
Yeah, I mean, I asked her. I was like, well, you know, I really love Disney. Do you love Disney? And she said, I like it. I do really like it.
Jeff
I think most people, after the Disney conversation, you felt the vibe change a little bit.
Brian
I don't know if she was just being nice again about it or she just played it off really well. But she was like, no, I like it. You know? And yeah, I mean, it wasn't as intense before, but it wasn't like a full on drop off. She was just like, oh, yeah, that is new information, I guess. But yeah, she's not getting back to me. I've tried to call on her, but,
Brooke
you know, I mean, like, you understand that in a relationship if you date someone who's not a Disney adult, there'll be some compromise, Right? You're a reasonable guy.
Brian
Yeah, I mean, I'd like to think so.
Jeff
Brooke's gonna be your fairy godmother when we come back.
Alexis
Oh, you're really good Mickey Mouse impression.
Jeff
You should do Mickey Mous.
Alexis
Mickey Mouse.
Jeff
And we're gonna do Cinderella Style and ask to see her feet when we come back and do a second date update. We're gonna see if that slipper fits Disney style right after this. Hold on.
Brian
It's a little weird, but thank you.
Jeff
All right, we're on it. Hold on.
Podcast Advertiser
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Ryan Reynolds
Second date update.
Jeff
It's a special fairy tale edition of second date update today where our listener Brian, who's a self proclaimed Disney adult, is looking to find his happily ever after. And how does that happen? Well, in Cinderella, the prince brings a glass slipper from house to house. How do we do it? On our show, we request feet pics to see if they match what we like. Brian, I'm not getting too creepy here, am I?
Brian
I think so. Thank you, Brian.
Alexis
Oh, man. Yeah, we don't even have a slipper.
Brooke
I mean, and Jeff wasn't even gonna tell you that it was your feet picks that he was hoping for.
Jeff
Yeah.
Brian
Oh, well, I mean, yeah, if you think that's gon the experts, we'll request
Jeff
those from you later. But the thing is, we still don't really know if Olivia actually got turned off by Brian's admission that he's a Disney adult and he goes to Disneyland five or six times a year. But my co hosts think that could be at least one red flag.
Brooke
Well, it's just like two different lifestyles, right? It's like hard to imagine going there five or six times a year.
Alexis
Yeah, Disney adults, instead of going somewhere else, they just go back and back. Yeah, some people like going to the beach.
Brian
Yeah, they have that too. Well, you're right.
Alexis
Walt Disney World has mass beaches.
Brooke
That's right.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jeff
Oh, that could be a good second date. Going to like a beach version of Disneyland. See her in a bikini.
Alexis
Disney hopping.
Jeff
We'll ask for bikini shots after the feet.
Brooke
Yeah, that's what don't ask for pictures. He did not say that.
Alexis
Jeff is very creative.
Brooke
No, Jeff is the villain.
Jeff
Fully clothed at the beach then fine.
Brooke
You're really giving off Gaston right now.
Jeff
Oh, the hottest.
HomeServe Narrator
Thank you, Brooke.
Jeff
Anyway, let's just call Olivia. We'll see if she answers the phone and we'll see if she has to say, here we go.
Olivia
Hello.
Jeff
Hi, we're looking to speak with Olivia.
Olivia
This is her.
Jeff
Hey, Olivia. You're on a radio show right now. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Alexis
Hi, good morning.
Olivia
I'm actually confused.
Jeff
Yeah, yeah, that's okay because we're doing a segment here. It's called a second date update and we're trying to Help out one of our listeners that you met up with recently, a guy named Brian.
Brian
Oh.
Jeff
Because he's not hearing back from you after the two of you hung out at Dave and Buster's.
Alexis
Yeah.
Brooke
And it sounds like it was fun.
Olivia
Yeah. I'm sorry, how do you. How did you get this information?
Jeff
Well, from him, because honestly, he's a little bit disappointed that the two of you hadn't had a second meetup.
Olivia
Okay, so what do you want and what do you want to know exactly?
Brooke
If there's a specific reason.
Brian
Yeah.
Jeff
Like, are you trying to avoid a second hangout?
Olivia
Yeah, I mean, I just. I don't really know if we were a great match.
Jeff
Okay. What made you feel that way?
Olivia
I think that maybe our lifestyles are different.
Alexis
What do you mean by that?
Olivia
Just, like our hobbies and our interests are a little different. He's into.
Jeff
We'll just ask. Does it have anything to do with his affection for the world of Disney?
Brooke
Are you laughing?
Olivia
Yes.
Brooke
Okay, okay. I mean, okay, once he told you he was a Disney adult and he explains that he vacations there five to six times a year, like, what was going through your head?
Olivia
Yeah, I mean, okay, I've never met anyone who like, loves Disney like that, but I will say that I'm actually pretty open minded. And so when he first brought it up, you know, I thought like, oh, this is just like a quirky kind of passion.
Brooke
Yeah.
Olivia
But then he kind of got like a little more into it and.
Jeff
Into it.
Olivia
How so? He showed me a picture on his phone of one of the trips he went on, and it was with him and like a bunch of his buddies, like a bunch of dudes, and they were all dressed up like the Snow White dwarfs.
Brooke
That's kind of funny. I've seen that where a lot of Disney adults will cosplay, like when they go on the trip.
Jeff
What about him being dressed as a dwarf was unappealing to you?
Olivia
Well, I think I realized, like, looking at that photo. So we met on this app. I have a thing for beards. I thought he was attractive, you know, initially. But then I saw this photo and all of the guys there have beards except one. It was dopey, of course.
Jeff
Oh, they're really committed. So you were attracted to all of the dwarves in addition to Brian? No.
Alexis
Jeff?
Olivia
No. It was just. I think I kind of realized in that moment that, like, his whole identity is wrapped up into being this kind of cartoon dwarf. Like, this isn't a one time thing. This is his thing.
Brooke
Wait, wait, you're Saying he's not a Disney adult. He is a real life dwarf from the Seven Dwarves.
Jeff
Like a fanatic.
Brian
Yes.
Brooke
Okay, just because it's one trip though, that doesn't mean he dresses like that all the time.
Olivia
Yeah, yeah.
Jeff
He wasn't dressed like that for your date, right?
Olivia
No, he was wearing regular clothes. But something else weird happened is he walked me to my car and then as we were walking to my car, he was singing the hi ho song.
Jeff
It's off to kiss we go. Oh, no.
Brooke
Was he joking? Was it a joke because of the picture from earlier?
Olivia
Yeah, I don't know. You know, I just met him, so, like, this is my first impression.
Brooke
That makes sense.
Alexis
You're like, what do you do for a living? You're like, I'm a minor.
Brooke
Look at this diamond I just pulled out from behind your ear.
Jeff
Oh, now Alexis is interested all of a sudden.
Brian
That's the truth.
Jeff
But okay, it sounds like, Olivia, you were just kind of overwhelmed by how into Disney he is.
Olivia
Yeah, it just kind of made me question things.
Jeff
We can all understand why you might feel that way. I'm curious if Brian does though, because he is on the other line of this call waiting to jump in and talk to you.
Olivia
Are you serious?
Jeff
Yeah.
Olivia
Yeah. Okay, you guys told me this when I just told you all this.
Jeff
Sorry about that, Olivia. But yeah, he's there.
Brian
Olivia, I get. I get what you're saying there, by the way. I'm sorry I had to go this route, but maybe I played into it too much. But no, I. I don't think I'm actually one of the seven dwarves. And. And, but the one I play, I'm bashful. By the way,
Jeff
the sweet one. Yeah, Brooke is drunky, so. Yeah, it's better than that one for sure.
Alexis
Whiny Olivia.
Jeff
Does that make it any better, knowing which specific character he is?
Alexis
I feel like it does.
Olivia
I don't really know what to say, to be honest. I just like, if I'm going to date you, like, do I have to dress up?
Brian
No, you don't have to. That's like, this is something I do with my friends. Of course, if you want to, like, that's a thing. But, like, you don't have to.
Alexis
That's good.
Brooke
I mean, think of it this way. It's healthy. He's got good friendships, he has a cool hobby. He has other interests outside of you, which means he's going to be, oh, you know, not too clingy for best.
Jeffrey
Gone on vacation.
Brooke
Yeah, totally.
Alexis
And he makes good money. If he can Afford to go to Disney five times?
Jeff
Totally. I mean, Alexis, would you be into him if you found out he was a Disney adult?
Alexis
Would that.
Jeffrey
Could I go to the beach while he goes to the park?
Brooke
Yeah, I think that's a good compromise.
Brian
Yeah.
Jeff
It's not quite a no.
Brian
And, you know, I. I probably should have waited to tell you this, because I. Normally I don't bring it up, but I felt so comfortable around you, and we were having such a good time that I was like, okay, you know, why not just tell you to.
CarMax Narrator
That's good.
Alexis
Sharing his passions.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Olivia
I mean, it's definitely different than anyone I've dated before. I guess I could try it out, but if it goes too far, it's not gonna be for me.
Brooke
Well, wait, is there maybe a Disney character you're more attracted to that he could try out?
Olivia
I guess we could explore the princes.
Brooke
Okay. There we go.
Jeffrey
I love that they have a lot of facial hair.
Jeff
He's willing to shave for that. I bet.
Brian
How about a little chippend? Those are great.
Jeff
Wow.
Brooke
Pretty funny. Olivia.
Jeff
Want to do whatever, but we'd like
Alexis
to offer Roger Rabbit.
Brian
Oh.
Jeff
Oh, my God. Well, Brian feels like you two had an obvious connection, so we'd like to offer to send you out on another date. And we would pay for it.
Olivia
That's nice. I wasn't planning to pay for it anyway, but.
Brian
Well, it's all right. I work in a diamond mine, so. Covered. I'm. I'm sorry. I won't make those jokes on the.
Jeff
Oh, wow.
Brooke
Wait, is that a yes?
Brian
Yes.
Poshmark Co-Host
All right.
Jeff
True love is possible in this world, not just in the Disney world. And turns out you don't have to ask to see a woman's foot and put a slipper on it to see if she's the one for you.
Brooke
We couldn't have just gone with dreams do come true.
Jeff
Dreams do come true when you're willing to change yourself as a man in order to fit exactly what a woman wants you to be.
Alexis
When you wish upon a star, Jeff.
Jeff
Yeah, Stars and galaxy size. Good job, Brian.
Brian
Well, thanks so much, Yang. Thanks for the help.
Alexis
Bashful. A date like that's impressive.
Brooke
That's a good point.
Jeff
We really are the fairy godparents.

Podcast: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Episode Date: March 18, 2026
Theme: Why did Olivia ghost Brian after a fun first date? The team investigates if Brian's love for Disney was a dealbreaker, uncovering comedic moments and awkward truths along the way.
This episode dives into the curiosity behind Olivia's silence after a seemingly successful first date with Brian. As is tradition on "Second Date Update," the team calls the silent party to determine what really happened. The main case revolves around Brian, a self-proclaimed "Disney adult" with a notable beard—qualities that set the stage for a quirky yet honest examination of compatibility and second chances in modern dating.
Unique Dating App: Brian reveals he and Olivia met on "Bristler," a niche dating app for people with beards and those who appreciate them.
Beard Requirements: Light, humorous banter follows about the requirements to join Bristler, including proof of a real beard.
First Date Details:
Brian's Passion: Brian admits to Olivia (perhaps too early) that he’s a Disney adult—frequenting Disneyland five to six times a year with friends.
Hosts’ Take: The team speculates that this could be a major red flag depending on Olivia’s own level of Disney fandom.
Brooke & Jeff Ask Olivia: They invite Olivia on the show to clarify why she hasn’t responded to Brian.
Disney Details Tip the Scale: Olivia reveals Brian showed her a photo of himself and friends all dressed as Snow White’s dwarves—except for one “Dopey” without a beard.
Unusual Goodbye: Brian walked Olivia to her car singing “Hi Ho” from Snow White, which she interpreted as “a lot” for a first date.
Brian Joins the Call: He admits perhaps he should have spaced out the Disney facts, assuring Olivia she’s not expected to cosplay or join his dwarf squad.
The Team Encourages a Second Chance: The hosts point out Brian’s positive traits—good friends, healthy hobbies, financial capability to afford multiple Disney trips—and nudge Olivia to see these as assets.
Olivia’s Tentative Openness: Olivia concedes she’s never dated someone this into Disney, but would consider giving it another try—with a firm boundary:
Brian’s Humor: Brian cracks more dwarf jokes and assures he won’t force Disney role-play.
They Agree to a Second Date: Prompted by the show (and a free meal offer), the couple agrees to try again.
