Brooke (3:05)

Hey, it's Brigging Jeffrey in the Morning and this is your brand new second Date podcast. Thanks so much for being here. We really appreciate it. Today we got a guy who came up with a strategy on how to make sure his date was still thinking about him the next day. I love every time we say a guy with a strategy and then we usually follow that with. It backfired. Yes. Yeah, exactly.

Ryan Reynolds (3:26)

Plan stuff. And they're like he didn't have a strategy. Yeah.

Brooke (3:30)

So you're gonna hear the backfire here in just a second. We always love to highlight your comments because really truly means the world that you're here with us, that you're listening, that you're, you know, supporting the show. Yeah, and I saw one from. First of all, just love the username. Baby J is Crayforher Bae who said I listen to you guys on my 5 plus mile runs every morning. Good job. Y' all even helped me get through my first 3k. I finished 10th in my age gap. Oh my gosh. That's amazing. I just can't imagine racing next to someone who's listening to us and their headphones. I don't know why you're a runner. You don't listen to yourself. You can't say I'm listening to bad dating, but maybe I should try it.

Ryan Reynolds (4:05)

Imagine Alexis passing another runner and she can hear herself in their headphones.

Brooke (4:09)

Yeah, it's so funny. Hey, thanks so much for listening. Wherever you're listening, we appreciate it. Your brand new second date starts right now.

Ryan Reynolds (4:18)

Second date update. The best advice Brooke ever gotten. Radio. I know this cuz Brooke mentioned it after she heard it at a radio conference, but it was Be your authentic self.

Brooke (4:32)

Oh God, I hate that piece of advice. Like, what else are you supposed to be? Just be you and it'll all work out. Said no one ever. Okay, it doesn't actually work that way.

Ryan Reynolds (4:42)

And that's Brooke's authentic self right there. Just showing her anger and aggression. Put it right on the other.

Brooke (4:49)

You can be your authentic self and make a name for yourself. Is if you're a Nepo baby. There's a lot more work that is involved that does make.

Ryan Reynolds (4:57)

Okay, Ashton, cut the music. Cut the music. Okay, remember.

Brooke (5:00)

Do you want me to go on about this? Because it really chaps my high.

Ryan Reynolds (5:04)

We've got enough of the authentic you. I think the same advice I would think would apply to romance though. To just be yourself. Right?

Brooke (5:12)

I guess.

Ryan Reynolds (5:13)

Cuz seriously, too many people are putting up fronts when they're trying to impress love interests on dates. When actually it's probably a lot better for you to just drop the act and be who you really are. Yeah, meaning like for me, I wouldn't say I love hiking exactly. When I go on one hike every 10 years. Yeah, that's you sticking true to you. And apparently that's what one of our listeners, Dirk, is all about. Staying true to his real self and finding someone with similar interests and hobbies as him. Which is awesome to hear. So Dirk, welcome to the show.

Brooke (5:41)

Sorry about that hard intro there. I'm glad you are who you are.

Ryan Reynolds (5:46)

Do you. Do you believe her when she says that?

Brooke (5:49)

I believe that.

Ryan Reynolds (5:50)

No, I'm asking, does Dirk believe you?

Dirk (5:52)

I believe you. I do.

Brooke (5:54)

Okay, Dirk and I are on the same page.

Ryan Reynolds (5:56)

He's terrified of you. So Dirk, let's just move on. Tell us, what's the name of this woman and where did you meet her?

Dirk (6:02)

So I'm calling about a lady named Michelle, okay? And we met at a volunteer charity event.

Brooke (6:08)

Aw, that's cute. I mean, already you have some shared interest cause you're both there supporting the same cause, right?

Dirk (6:15)

Yeah, yeah, it was the Young Republicans for Grassroots Change.

Ryan Reynolds (6:19)

Oh, that's good, Brooke.

Brooke (6:21)

That's not out of it.

Ryan Reynolds (6:22)

This is awesome.

Brooke (6:23)

I thought it was like a charity.

Ryan Reynolds (6:24)

That is a charity.

Brooke (6:25)

It's a political movement. It's different.

Ryan Reynolds (6:27)

Okay, Brooke, can you please.

Brooke (6:28)

You're helping people in need.

Ryan Reynolds (6:30)

You know they're helping politicians in need. Brooke. Grassroots.

Brooke (6:36)

That doesn't mean any.

Ryan Reynolds (6:37)

It's grassroots. No, Brooke, okay, Brooke is anti grass now, so I'm sorry about that, Dirk. Keep going. You met at this political party, this shared event?

Dirk (6:47)

Yes, there it is. Look, I was Just there doing some networking. And that's where I met Michelle.

Brooke (6:52)

Okay.

Dirk (6:52)

And we started chatting, and I just felt like a connection.

Ryan Reynolds (6:56)

Okay, awesome.

Dirk (6:57)

Great.

Ryan Reynolds (6:57)

So what'd you guys do?

Dirk (6:59)

Just nothing out of the ordinary, I would say. You know, we spent a few hours talking at the bar.

Ryan Reynolds (7:03)

Oh, that's.

Dirk (7:04)

We talked about weren't issues that we care about. You know, obviously, you know, she was going through some difficulties with her job. You know, she's a little frustrated.

Brooke (7:12)

Yeah.

Dirk (7:14)

And so, you know, I try to give her sort of like an. Like an impromptu, you know, like a pep talk about unlocking her inner greatness.

Brooke (7:22)

Unlocking her inner. Is that the last self help book you read?

Ryan Reynolds (7:24)

Wow.

Brooke (7:26)

It sounds like it, right? I do.

Ryan Reynolds (7:27)

Like, when I go on the Internet and you scroll and you see one of those speeches for like 30 seconds, it's like, you can do it. Take on the day. I'm like, yes, I can.

Brooke (7:34)

That's right. Really? I'm like, you don't know me. This is so fake.

Ryan Reynolds (7:38)

In general. What a nice gesture for somebody to do to someone who's clearly struggling with their job to, like, offer some words of encouragement. That must feel good for her.

Dirk (7:47)

See, I'm actually. I'm a professional motivational speaker. That's what I do.

Brooke (7:53)

So you were working.

Ryan Reynolds (7:54)

Wow.

Brooke (7:55)

On your day. Did she have the response you were hoping for?

Dirk (7:59)

Um, yeah. I mean, it was towards the end of the date, and it looked like maybe she was just getting tired anyways and thinking about her job is never fun. So we kind of decided to, like, wrap it there. So I figured, you know, I'd walk her.

Brooke (8:10)

So she called the date. She wanted it to be over after the motivational speech.

Dirk (8:13)

I don't think right after. I think it was just already kind of feeling like it's towards the end of the night anyways.

Brooke (8:18)

Okay. Okay.

Dirk (8:20)

I might have overdone it a little bit because when we did go outside, we were walking to her car and there were some kids on skateboards, you know, and I try to give them some motivational advice.

Ryan Reynolds (8:33)

On the fly. Just shouting motivational quotes at them.

Dirk (8:36)

I said like, you, you are your own skate ramp to success.

Brooke (8:40)

Oh, God. All right, let's go up in the back down again.

Ryan Reynolds (8:43)

A little surprised they didn't run over and try and beat you up. This was in the middle of the.

Dirk (8:47)

Night, but.

Brooke (8:50)

Flip you the bird and skate off.

Ryan Reynolds (8:52)

But how did you leave it with you and Michelle?

Dirk (8:55)

Well, when I dropped her off, I gave her a little keepsake.

Brooke (8:58)

Oh.

Ryan Reynolds (8:59)

Oh, no.

Brooke (8:59)

What did you give her?

Dirk (9:01)

Well, I had written down some inspirational quotes.

Brooke (9:04)

Can you share one of the things you wrote down with her?

Dirk (9:07)

One of them was tomorrow is always bigger than today.

Ryan Reynolds (9:12)

Oh, I don't know what that means, but it sounds.

Brooke (9:15)

And the sun will come out tomorrow.

Dirk (9:17)

Yes. Yeah.

Ryan Reynolds (9:18)

Well, that's a quote from a song. You can't steal that. We're gonna get sued. I mean, that's a nice gesture to be like, I'm here to support you and help you out.

Brooke (9:26)

If anybody did their job that much on a date, like, it doesn't matter what job. It's like.

Ryan Reynolds (9:30)

That's a good point.

Brooke (9:31)

I mean, unsolicited advice is always a little touchy for people, but I understand his sentiment. I think that he was trying to do the right thing.

Ryan Reynolds (9:39)

I think he should impress her a little bit because, like, how often do you meet someone who, like, is a motivational speaker? But yeah, there's a time and a place.

Dirk (9:46)

Yeah. You know, I might have been just a little bit nervous. Just went back to what I know how to do.

Brooke (9:51)

Yeah. I mean, if she says that's a reason, can you turn it off next time?

Ryan Reynolds (9:55)

What?

Brooke (9:55)

What?

Ryan Reynolds (9:56)

Can you stop being who you are?

Brooke (9:57)

No. People want to joke about a bad day, not have to hear positive feedback. He's like, on. It sounds like he's on all the time.

Dirk (10:04)

And like I said, I was nervous. What did you hear about that lady?

Brooke (10:07)

Oh, I understand that. I'm asking if you could be relaxed.

Ryan Reynolds (10:11)

Okay. Maybe you should relax a little bit on him.

Brooke (10:14)

I mean, he called to figure out what was wrong, and that may have been, we may think, what turned her off.

Ryan Reynolds (10:18)

Yeah. How long has it been since the date happened?

Dirk (10:21)

It's been like a week and a half.

Ryan Reynolds (10:23)

Do you know if she read your motivational quotes?

Dirk (10:26)

I don't know. I. I told her to read them in the morning, but she didn't read. I don't know. I don't know.

Brooke (10:30)

Maybe she's just waiting for tomorrow to call you.

Ryan Reynolds (10:33)

Yeah.

Brooke (10:34)

Since tomorrow is always bigger. Yeah, we never actually get to tomorrow.

Ryan Reynolds (10:37)

You know, that could have been a little bit confusing to her. So maybe she'll pick up the phone and we can clear it all up and motivate her to greatness. Yes. We're gonna ride the skate ramp to success of the second date update.

Brooke (10:50)

I don't get it.

Dirk (10:50)

Very big. We'll do it.

Ryan Reynolds (10:53)

Hold on. Second date update. I was going to read some inspirational quotes to motivate my co host to have a great part two.

Brooke (11:02)

Oh, really?

Ryan Reynolds (11:03)

But I'm not sure they can Take any more inspiration.

Brooke (11:05)

I have been over inspired all I feel inspired.

Ryan Reynolds (11:09)

Not surprised. After we heard from Dirk about his first date with Michelle, where his natural self came out. And his natural self is being a positive motivational speaker. He tried to give some encouraging words to Michelle about her job, which he was complaining about. He shouted some affirmations at some skateboarding teens. Even handed Michelle a little piece of paper with handwritten quotes designed to lift her spirits. And despite all those good vibes and good intentions, Michelle has been avoiding him.

Brooke (11:40)

Oh, maybe he forgot to put the last one. Call me back. As the motivational that is possible.

Ryan Reynolds (11:46)

Sometimes you need to really spell it out. Dirk, you didn't put that in your motivational quot.

Dirk (11:52)

That was not one of them, though.

Ryan Reynolds (11:53)

Okay, okay. Maybe add it for next time.

Brooke (11:55)

Have you ever heard from other people in your life, like, on a personal level? Maybe you overdo it with motivation.

Dirk (12:03)

I'll be honest. I don't have a ton of friends, so, you know, I would say, like, that is not something I've heard all that often, but a lot of people also don't know that much about me, so.

Ryan Reynolds (12:14)

Yeah, there's not a lot of time to make friends when you're busy inspiring the world.

Brooke (12:19)

I don't know that we know a lot about you other than the motivation stuff. Yeah, yeah, that's actually all we know.

Ryan Reynolds (12:24)

Yeah, but that's still a positive thing. Like, if a guy started going through a motivational speech, you're not gonna be like, shut up. Right, Right.

Brooke (12:31)

Give me some context.

Ryan Reynolds (12:33)

Hopefully not on a date, but I'm just praying that Michelle picks up the phone and gets us some answers here, because he deserves that. Right, Alexis?

Brooke (12:41)

Yes, right.

Ryan Reynolds (12:42)

Did you even listen to what I said? There something.

Brooke (12:44)

We're calling her.

Dirk (12:45)

Okay.

Ryan Reynolds (12:45)

Yeah, you're finally sort of. Here we go. Let's dial her number. Hopefully she picks up. Here we go.

Dirk (12:59)

Hello?

Ryan Reynolds (12:59)

Hey, we're looking to speak with Michelle.

Dirk (13:02)

Yeah, this is Michelle.

Ryan Reynolds (13:04)

Hey, Michelle. Not sure if you're ready for this, but you're on a radio show right now called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

Brooke (13:09)

Hey, Michelle. We're all here.

Dirk (13:10)

Hey. Good morning. Okay.

Brooke (13:15)

Hi. That was such an annoyed sigh. We get it.

Ryan Reynolds (13:18)

You understand. We're already awake. Yeah, we may not be. Sorry, I know it's early, so we're just hoping to make this really quick with you because we're doing a segment called the Second Date Update.

Dirk (13:30)

Okay.

Ryan Reynolds (13:31)

Okay. That's. I don't know if you're familiar, but it's where we try to help out Our listeners who've gone out with somebody recently and they're not getting a call back for a second meetup.

Dirk (13:39)

Yeah, sure.

Brooke (13:40)

Oh, you have heard.

Ryan Reynolds (13:41)

Okay, you're familiar.

Dirk (13:42)

Yeah, yeah, gotcha.

Brooke (13:44)

That's cool.

Ryan Reynolds (13:45)

All right, you want me to speed it up? I see. So we're calling on behalf of one of our listeners named Dirk, who you met up with recently.

Dirk (13:53)

Oh, God. Okay.

Brooke (13:55)

Oh, God. I'd love to hear how your date went.

Dirk (14:00)

It was kind of weird, I guess.

Ryan Reynolds (14:03)

Okay, weird in what way?

Dirk (14:07)

I mean, like, we just went to a bar and stuff, but, like.

Ryan Reynolds (14:10)

Yeah, we heard. I mean, just to recap what we know about it so far, we heard you went to a bar, you talked a lot about your shared interests, you opened up to him about your job being a little rough recently, and then he walked you home through a park by some skateboarding teens.

Dirk (14:26)

Yeah. Did he tell you that he yelled at said skateboarders?

Ryan Reynolds (14:30)

Yeah, that did come up.

Brooke (14:32)

He said that he shouted some affirmations, maybe at them, not, like, being negative. Something about the skate ramp of life.

Dirk (14:39)

Yeah.

Ryan Reynolds (14:39)

What did you think about that?

Dirk (14:41)

I mean, he's told me that he was, like a motivational speaker or something like that, but, like, these were just, like, random kids. It was kind of like off putting, you know, at the end of the date, that was already kind of weird.

Ryan Reynolds (14:51)

Yeah, but they are skateboarding, so you could tell their life's kind of on a downward trajectory.

Brooke (14:56)

What does that have to do. Skateboarding is a valid hobby, just like any other hobby.

Ryan Reynolds (15:01)

Okay, name one skateboarder who went on to do great things.

Brooke (15:04)

Tony Hawk. Yeah. What?

Ryan Reynolds (15:06)

He's still. He's retired. He didn't do anything. Anyway, sorry, we're not getting sidetracked with the value of skateboarding. Back to Dirk. Yeah. And you. What did you think about him yelling all the motivational quotes at them?

Dirk (15:20)

I mean, I get it. He said it's like, his job and stuff, but, like, he said he doesn't do it that much. I was like, yeah, you kind of do. Like, I mean, you already tried to motivate me, and now you're talking to, like, these kids that are just skateboarding. He. And then he's like, I only have, like, one client right now anyways. And I'm like, okay, well, are you, like, coaching, like, a CEO or, like, what's the deal? I'm like, yeah. And he was like, I'm the client right now. What? I was like, you have one client? And he was like, no, it's like, me, like, I wake up, I Talk to myself in the mirror. Like, I record them. Like, motivational speeches are really helping me.

Brooke (15:53)

So he motivates himself every morning and he considers himself his own client.

Dirk (15:58)

Yeah, no, like, you know, I was like, I'm a great client to myself right now. And like, what?

Ryan Reynolds (16:03)

Ultimate bad client. It's ultimate job security, you know, that you're not going to anyway.

Dirk (16:07)

Yeah, yeah. I was like, it's fine. I was like, I get it. Like, maybe you're just quirky or something. Like, I don't. I don't know. And I was like, can you just tone it down? And then, like, he dropped me off and like, wrote a bunch of quotes down for me when I was in the bathroom. And then, like, I, like, just like, he left and I just sat there. Like, was I just, like, punked? I was like, did I not understand, like, what he was saying?

Ryan Reynolds (16:26)

Okay, maybe you weren't reading the quotes the right way. And you need to hear them spoken directly by Dirk because he is on the other line right now waiting to talk to you and inspire you.

Dirk (16:36)

No way.

Ryan Reynolds (16:38)

That's how this works.

Brooke (16:39)

Works.

Ryan Reynolds (16:40)

Dirkie there.

Dirk (16:41)

Yes. Hello, Michelle. Oh, hi, Dirk.

Brooke (16:45)

So businesslike.

Dirk (16:47)

It makes me a little sad to hear that you didn't have a good time. And I want to find time. Like, do I not get it though? Like, are you actually your own client? Like, or am I confused? Yes, I am a motivational speaker. At the current moment, I am my only client. But what am I supposed to do with that?

Ryan Reynolds (17:05)

I think maybe Dirksy's a little confused because how can you call yourself a professional motivational speaker speaker if you don't actually speak to anybody else except yourself.

Brooke (17:15)

If you don't get paid? I think that's a part of professional. You could be aspiring motivational speaker. That's a good maybe title for you. An aspiring motivational speaker.

Dirk (17:24)

Well, I did. I did have two clients in the past.

Brooke (17:27)

Okay.

Dirk (17:28)

They were paying clients, but they could not afford my rates. Oh. Which is why I had to drop them.

Brooke (17:32)

Okay, so you charge a lot on top of all of this, but you.

Dirk (17:36)

Can pay for your own rates like, you can afford yourself? Yeah, I have a good deal worked out with myself.

Ryan Reynolds (17:42)

Okay, that's nice. Friends and family discount there.

Brooke (17:45)

Do you have another job?

Dirk (17:48)

This is currently my main focus. I am writing a book about my experience of coaching yourself.

Ryan Reynolds (17:56)

What's the title of your book?

Dirk (17:58)

I'm writing two books. First book is going to be called Starts with Yourself.

Brooke (18:02)

Oh, that's a good title.

Ryan Reynolds (18:03)

Starts with yourself.

Dirk (18:05)

Yes. And then the second Book is, if you can't say it to the mirror, who could you say it to? And there's no way you're a real person, dude. It's like, are you joking?

Ryan Reynolds (18:15)

Why are you feeling so inspired by what he says right now? Take this from somebody else.

Dirk (18:19)

Can you not stop?

Brooke (18:21)

We kind of talked to Dirk about that already. Like, maybe tone it down a little bit, Dirk, and show her other sides of you outside of the motivational speaker part.

Ryan Reynolds (18:29)

Impress her in other ways.

Brooke (18:31)

Like, who are you? You know, like, what do you love to do? What do you care about it?

Dirk (18:35)

I love motivating people to be the best. No way. Okay.

Ryan Reynolds (18:42)

Okay.

Ryan Seacrest (18:43)

Well, I'm pretty motivated to get off the phone now.

Brooke (18:45)

Yeah.

Ryan Reynolds (18:46)

What about you, Jeff? I, I, I don't like that we're all giving up on Dirk for trying to be himself, but I don't think.

Brooke (18:52)

He'S trying to be himself. I think that's the problem, Jeff. He's trying to be a version of himself that he wants to be. He's not being who he is. Like, if you're on all the time, you're not being your authentic self. That's the title of my new book. That is really long title.

Ryan Reynolds (19:06)

Yeah. Well, Dirk, you have some competition in the literary world coming up with Brooke here, but I'd still like to get you another date. I mean, I know this is a long shot, but we would offer to pay for a second date for you, Michelle, with Dirk, if you're willing to give him another chance.

Brooke (19:20)

And you said you liked him outside of that. Right? Outside of the. Too many inspirations.

Dirk (19:26)

Let me ask this. Do you guys think that you would feel safe in a room alone with him at this point after learning all this?

Ryan Reynolds (19:31)

Like, I, you should ask that question to yourself in the mirror, like it says in the second book.

Brooke (19:37)

Look at you already read the book.

Dirk (19:39)

This is freaking nuts. Like, no. I'm sure I'll read about him in the news one day, but yeah.

Ryan Reynolds (19:42)

No. Yes. One of the most inspiring leaders that this country has ever seen.

Brooke (19:47)

I think he's the opposite of dangerous, but yeah.

Ryan Reynolds (19:50)

I don't know, Dirk, it's sounding like it's a no from Michelle. Do you have any last words for her? Anything to motivate her or us or our listeners? Inspire us.

Dirk (19:58)

It's okay. Just look in the mirror. It starts with you.

Brooke (20:01)

Yeah. Yep, that's right.

Ryan Reynolds (20:05)

That's good. So it wasn't the best match this time, Dirk, but you keep at it, and there's definitely gonna be a woman out there who appreciates a little bit of motivation in their life?

Dirk (20:13)

I believe so.

Brooke (20:13)

Okay. I think the key there is a.

Ryan Reynolds (20:15)

Little bit of motivation, a microscopic amount of motivation.

Brooke (20:19)

That's what we need to leave with. Dirk.

Dirk (20:22)

Thank you.

Ryan Reynolds (20:23)

We crushed the spirits of a motivational speaker in one second.

Brooke (20:26)

Dated Update.

Ryan Reynolds (20:27)

Amazing.

Brooke (20:27)

If we weren't gonna do it, his.
