Introduction

In the episode titled "Second Date Update: Only Tears," hosts Brooke and Jeffrey delve into the complexities of modern dating by examining a listener's experience with a second date that didn't go as planned.

Briar's First Date Experience

Timestamp: [02:37] - [09:27]

Briar, a listener, shares his recent date with Fiona, expressing both optimism and confusion about the outcome. He recounts taking Fiona to a mid-priced American restaurant where they bonded over shared childhood TV shows like "Hey Arnold" and "Rugrats," and their mutual dislike for Dunkaroos.

Notable Quote:

"Briar: I was just really trying to focus on her and making sure that she was okay to see if she had any type of dietary restrictions."
[05:40]

Despite the positive start, Briar describes an unexpected turn of events. After paying the bill, he excused himself to use the restroom. Upon returning, he found that Fiona had already left the restaurant, leading him to wonder if there was a miscommunication or if he had inadvertently caused her to leave.

Notable Quote:

"Briar: After I came out, she was gone. Like, I couldn't find her in the restaurant. I went outside, her car was gone."
[08:45]

Confused and seeking closure, Briar reaches out to Brooke and Jeffrey for assistance in understanding Fiona's sudden departure.

---

Brooke and Jeffrey's Analysis

Timestamp: [09:27] - [16:00]

Brooke and Jeffrey engage in a candid discussion about Briar's situation, offering both empathy and critical analysis. They explore possible reasons behind Fiona's abrupt exit, considering factors such as miscommunication and Briar's emotional state during the date.

Notable Quote:

"Brooke: You just got to put yourself in her shoes, right? Like, if you were on a date and a woman was crying about her ex, you probably wouldn't feel great about that future with them."
[17:38]

The hosts emphasize the importance of emotional readiness and transparency in dating. They suggest that Briar's display of vulnerability, particularly discussing his past relationship and emotional distress over an OnlyFans model, might have been overwhelming for Fiona.

---

Fiona's Perspective: Insights from the Second Call

Timestamp: [12:19] - [19:41]

To gain further clarity, Brooke and Jeffrey make a live call to Fiona. During the conversation, Fiona candidly explains her reasons for not pursuing a second date with Briar. She acknowledges Briar's sweetness but points out that his emotional state and past relationship details made her hesitant to continue.

Notable Quote:

"Fiona: He was crying at the table because he found out that the OnlyFans model wouldn't commit to him because she's in a relationship too."
[15:16]

Fiona highlights that Briar's lingering feelings for his ex and his unresolved emotions contributed to her decision. She indicates that while Briar is a kind person, his emotional baggage made his intentions unclear and somewhat burdensome for her.

Notable Quote:

"Brooke: It just comes off as maybe you're not over the [OnlyFans girl]."
[17:54]

Through this interaction, Fiona underscores the necessity of emotional closure and the ability to move forward independently before entering new romantic endeavors.

---

Conclusion and Takeaways

Timestamp: [19:41] - [22:10]

The episode wraps up with Brooke and Jeffrey offering final thoughts on Briar's dating experience. They commend Briar for his sincerity and willingness to seek advice but also encourage him to take time for self-reflection and emotional healing before diving back into the dating scene.

Notable Quote:

"Brooke: I find with that just not about your ex on first date."
[21:47]

They conclude by reinforcing the importance of emotional stability and clear communication in fostering healthy relationships. Brooke and Jeffrey reassure listeners that seeking help and being open about one's feelings are crucial steps toward successful dating experiences.

---

Key Insights:

1. Emotional Readiness: Displaying unresolved emotions or discussing past relationships extensively on a first date can be overwhelming and may deter potential partners.

2. Clear Communication: Miscommunications can lead to confusion and hurt feelings. It's essential to communicate intentions and emotions clearly to avoid misunderstandings.

3. Self-Reflection: Taking time to understand one's emotions and past relationship patterns can lead to healthier and more fulfilling future relationships.

4. Support Systems: Seeking advice from friends or support networks, as Briar did, can provide valuable perspectives and guidance in navigating the complexities of dating.

Final Thoughts

"Second Date Update: Only Tears" offers a relatable and insightful look into the challenges of modern dating. Through Briar's story, Brooke and Jeffrey highlight the significance of emotional intelligence and effective communication in building meaningful connections.

Hey, we got a brand new second date for you today. Thanks so much for being here at the podcast on a Friday. Yeah, it just means so much to us. So we got a great guy on the phone whose date. Totally.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, on the phone. Sorry.

[Brooke]

You too? We also have you. Yeah, no, his date totally vanished and he's wondering if it was a miscommunication or something he did. We're gonna find out here in just a second.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Accidental magic trick.

[Brooke]

Yeah, maybe. That'd be so good. Oh my God.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Where'd she go? Oh no.

[Brooke]

What do you see in the comment section? Yeah, Bende Oliviera said. Hey guys. Greetings from Brazil. I love your show.

[Greenlight]

My wife is actually trying to learn.

[Brooke]

English now because she's so curious to know why the hell I'm laughing so much. Oh, that's really cute.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I want to learn Portuguese.

[Brooke]

Dude, that'd be cool. I. I always think it's so amazing when people can be funny in another language. Oh yeah, like that's when you know you've mastered it, which we can't do. So we are not. I don't even know if I'm funny in this language. So, hey, thanks for being here. Your brand new second date starts right now.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Second date update. We've had some strange requests on this segment before. Like for example, the listener who wanted us to pretend we were from a British radio show.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that was fun.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Cuz he lied and said that he was from London.

[Brooke]

Yeah, my accent's so good.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But we tried it. Also someone who asked our producer if we could alter his voice so his wife wouldn't recognize him if she heard it. No, that. Wrong show for that.

[Brooke]

No, not us.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We. Believe it or not, we do have a limit of what we're willing to do.

[Brooke]

It's very low.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It is.

[Brooke]

The bar is low, but there is a bar.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But today, one of our listeners has emailed with a request specifically for Brooke.

[Brooke]

What?

[Ryan Reynolds]

And we'll find out if she's willing to accommodate it.

[Brooke]

Would you like another English accent?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Let's find out. His name is Briar. Briar. Welcome to the show.

[Briar]

Hey, guys. Hey, Brooke.

[Brooke]

Hey.

[Briar]

I really need you on my side for this one, okay?

[Brooke]

Oh yeah, I can do that. I mean, unless you did something really dumb.

[Ryan Reynolds]

There's already stipulation.

[Brooke]

Well, it's like I said yes and then I remembered I don't Know anything about this man yet?

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's true.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Why do you want Brook's approval?

[Briar]

I just. I've listened to Brooke on a couple of different occasions before.

[Brooke]

You know where the real power comes from. That's what you just need to say.

[Briar]

Well, yeah, I mean, in a nutshell, I enjoy your opinion.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay, so let's get into your date that you went on. What's the girl's name?

[Briar]

So her name was Fiona.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay.

[Briar]

I took her to, like, a medium price restaurant.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay. Okay.

[Briar]

They served a lot of different types of American food. It was good.

[Fiona]

Uh.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, Brooke, America. I'm not a big fan lately, so.

[Brooke]

I love Denny's.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

Denny's over Miami. I mean, Applebee's kind of hits sometimes. Chili's is my number one, I would say.

[Briar]

Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

All right, so now we got Brooke back on board. Let's keep going with it. How did it go at the restaurant?

[Briar]

You know, it was. It was good. I was just really trying to focus on her and making sure that she was okay to see if she had any type of meat needs.

[Brooke]

You mean you're just, like, asking her questions and being inquisitive?

[Briar]

Yeah, I mean, like, asking if she had any type of dietary restriction.

[Brooke]

You know what?

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's actually good. I mean, do you really need to ask that question? Because I like to propose that after they've gone into anaphylactic shock.

[Brooke]

I get it. Because how could you be the hero and come to her wrestling? She wasn't swelling.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, was it the crab that's making you do that with your face?

[Brooke]

Oh, you're a grown woman. You didn't know you were allergic to crab.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Maybe if you eat more, it'll cancel out. Yeah, but good for you that you asked beforehand. Okay, That's a. It's a strong move.

[Brooke]

But, like, what was the date like? Like, what was your connection like?

[Briar]

It was fun. It was actually a lot of fun. We actually started talking about childhood TV shows and.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, my gosh, that's such a good, fun topic.

[Brooke]

We all want to jump in with our favorites. Yeah, Even you mentioning it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm holding. Hold it.

[Brooke]

Not about us.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, yeah. So what was your answer for favorite childhood TV show?

[Briar]

Well, mine was actually. Hey, Arnold. I don't know if you guys remember that.

[Brooke]

Classic.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It was great, dude.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Degenerate children. His room. So bad.

[Brooke]

What was hers?

[Briar]

Hers was Rugrats.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Degenerate babies.

[Brooke]

Okay, I love Rugrats, but look at. You're both Nickelodeon kids.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, yeah.

[Briar]

Yes, I did point that out.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay, dude, I mean, so you're hitting it off finding things you have in common.

[Briar]

And we also agreed that Dunkaroos are actually overrated.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Overrated? Gosh, I don't know.

[Brooke]

I had one recently and I'm with him on that one.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Really?

[Brooke]

Yeah. I was good as a kid, but not now.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You should just keep talking about food because Brooke is not going to go against. Yeah, I'm just curious. Did you have any non food, non children's topics that you covered during your conversation?

[Briar]

Yeah. Well, we did start talking about being single. Like this current daily climate, it's, it's a lot different than our past relationships. I mean, am I wrong in saying this?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, you're right. It's crazy. Can't weigh in on that because she hasn't dated in many, many, many decades, so she doesn't know what it's like.

[Brooke]

It's been a long time. Over a decade.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I know you lose track of time when it's been that long, so. Okay.

[Brooke]

Well, it all sounds cute though. It sounds like you guys are vibing talking about some deeper st. Even you related.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Was there something bad that happened?

[Briar]

No, not, not bad. Maybe a miscommunication or misunderstanding. Towards the end of the night, after we were done eating, I paid for dinner.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Briar]

And we went to the lobby and I had to use the restroom real quick. After I came out, she was gone. Like, I couldn't find her in the restaurant. I went outside, her car was gone.

[Brooke]

Oh goodness.

[Briar]

Maybe she misunderstood me and like saying, hey, I have to go to restroom. It was nice talking to you, see you later. But I, I, I just need to use the bathroom. And I came back out and she was gone.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You thought there was going to be more after. You know, that's a real Angelica pickles move right there. Yeah. Good Lugrats fan. You get it.

[Brooke]

I could. I can feel that though. Like just that awkward moment. You're like, wait, was that a goodbye? Do I leave? Do I stay?

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's kind of awkward.

[Brooke]

And maybe she was in her head like, I don't want to stay because what if he just said goodbye and then he comes out and I'm still here?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Right.

[Brooke]

You know what I mean?

[Ryan Reynolds]

But yeah, without a proper goodbye, it's totally. You don't know where you stand. So where are you in now?

[Briar]

She did text me a little bit later.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's good.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay.

[Briar]

Since then, I've kind of, you know, alluded to the fact that maybe we should get up again. I really enjoyed myself and she's always.

[Brooke]

Busy oh, that's not a good sign.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay, could be a brush off there. Yeah, so we're gonna call her here in a second. But Brooke, where are we at with Briar? He's asked that you have his back here. Are you willing to throw your support behind him during the next part of the call?

[Brooke]

It sounds like you had a great date.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Why is your voice going so high when you.

[Brooke]

Yeah, great day. No, I really support Briar.

[Ryan Reynolds]

All right, we're gonna come back and hopefully it's gonna be a dog whistle. Brooke is true to her word when we call Fiona and try and get you your second date update right after this. Hold on, then. Second date update? We don't have a ton of time here. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, but we're in the middle of a second date update where a guy named Briar desperately wants Brooke's support because he's heard how these calls go. And if she's not 100% behind you, then she's a hundred percent out to get you.

[Brooke]

That is not true. You are so dramatic, Jeffrey.

[Ryan Reynolds]

See, Brooke is out to get me right now. 100%.

[Brooke]

You are such a drama king.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So just some bullet points about Breyer's date real quick. He took a lady named Fiona out to a restaurant. They bonded over childhood TV shows and their mutual hatred of Dunkaroos. I'm still recapping. Please don't interrupt. And they talked about how. How dating is different nowadays than it was with past relationships.

[Brooke]

Are you going to go into every detail of everything that happened? I mean, I think they just listened to part one.

[Ryan Reynolds]

This is just a quick recap. Not everyone heard it, Brooke. Some people are just tuning in. Just if you missed it. But after they paid the bill, there was a little miscommunication about using the restroom. Cuz when he came out, Fiona had already left and her car was gone.

[Brooke]

At least we're hoping it's a miscommunication. And she didn't just. Just bail?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yes. Or is it possible that her car got towed and she blames Briar for that?

[Brooke]

Why would it be Briar?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Briar, did you have her car towed on purpose so that she'd be stranded there and forced to get a ride home with you?

[Brooke]

Oh, Briar.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Briar, you listening?

[Briar]

I did. Yeah, I did. I am listening. No, I did not do that.

[Brooke]

I thought you just said I did.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay, I know you're saying that, but the truth will come out when we call Fiona here in a second. If she picks up.

[Briar]

Yeah. No, no, no. I, I, I hope it does because I, I'm just completely lost after what happened.

[Brooke]

I think she just thinks you don't like her that much. And that is something we can quickly clear up.

[Briar]

Well, thank you so much, Brooke. I really, really hope that my back would dip. Cause I, I just, I'm so lost, Briar.

[Brooke]

That's all I've had so far. So let's keep going. Let's move forward.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We're all in your corner. I'm going to dial Fiona's number and let's see if she answers. Here we go.

[Briar]

Okay, thank you.

[Fiona]

Hello?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hey, is this Fiona?

[Fiona]

Yes, who is this?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hey, Fiona. This is an entire radio show, actually, called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Hey, welcome to the show, Fiona.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hi, good morning.

[Fiona]

What's going on?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, yeah, what's going on is a segment that we do pretty regularly on the show called the Second Date Update.

[Fiona]

Okay, that sounds fun.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, actually kind of fun.

[Brooke]

And it could our most popular segment.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And it could be really fun for you because we're talking about a guy that you went on a really nice date with recently. A guy named Briar.

[Fiona]

Oh.

[Brooke]

All right.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You seem a little shy. Yeah, the thing is, we're trying to help Briar out because he told us about your date. He felt like there was a good vibe happening, but he's a little bit confused because afterwards there hasn't been any communication about a second meetup.

[Fiona]

Oh, yeah, no, he's reached out a couple times. I've just been busy.

[Brooke]

Okay, so it really is just a scheduling thing for you. You plan on seeing him again?

[Fiona]

Oh, no, no.

[Brooke]

You say no. You don't plan on seeing him again?

[Fiona]

No, not really.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay, I mean, that's fine. But is there a reason why you feel that way? Because Briar isn't sure.

[Fiona]

Yeah, I mean, he's kind of sweet. He's just a little bit of a mess.

[Brooke]

How so?

[Fiona]

He talked to you? He told you stuff or.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, just in a nutshell, your date was at a nice American restaurant. You guys talked about childhood TV shows and current dating and past dating.

[Fiona]

And so I'm guessing you heard about his breakup.

[Brooke]

We. Oh, no, he generalized.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, we didn't get into any, like, specifics about past relationships or anything like that.

[Fiona]

Gotcha. Okay. So at one point he did open up to me and was talking about how dating is different these days, and he volunteered the information about his last serious relationship, and so he broke up with, like, a serious girlfriend. To date an Only fans model.

[Brooke]

Oh, no. That's what he told you?

[Fiona]

Yeah. Yeah. And he swore up and down that he was like tricked into it.

[Brooke]

He probably was.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Only Fans girls don't like to date though.

[Brooke]

Yeah, you're thinking of popular Only Fans girls. There are plenty of women on Only Fans that have like one fan. You make like where it's the only fan.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But Brooke, knowing what you know about Briar, he probably gets the top tier. Only Only Fans girls. Yeah, because you have his back. Because I mean, he's that type of guy.

[Brooke]

I could see him, I'll tell you this. I could see him being sweet and maybe a little naive when it comes to.

[Fiona]

Yeah, I mean, he was crying.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh no.

[Brooke]

At the table. He was crying about the only fans.

[Fiona]

Yeah, he was crying at the table because he found out that the only Fans model wouldn't commit to him because she's in a relationship too.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow. Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay. So you found out that Briar left his girlfriend to be with an onlyfans woman who refused to commit fully to him.

[Fiona]

Correct.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And which part of that was a turn off to you?

[Brooke]

Was he paying for onlyfans while in a relationship still too?

[Fiona]

For me, it was like we were talking about Dunkaroos and kids shows and then now he's crying at the table about an onlyfans model and I'm like, yup, dating do be different.

[Brooke]

Okay. Do you think he's not over the only Fans girl?

[Fiona]

Partially. I think he's not over it because why you be craying.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Fiona]

And then I'm also like, what if this is us? And then you meet another Only fans model and she's telling you that she's gonna be with you?

[Brooke]

Yeah, if you deposit X amount of money, maybe.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Or is there a chance that that was just kind of a made up story as like a flex? Sometimes guys will do that as a.

[Brooke]

Flex got left by an Only fans.

[Fiona]

A boy is not gonna flex and then cry.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, I'm just saying you never know.

[Brooke]

I think everyone knows it's for the money.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We should really ask Briar about it because I need to tell you, Fiona, he is on the other line right now listening to this call.

[Brooke]

Oh, buddy.

[Fiona]

What?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, Briar, you there?

[Briar]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, how you doing?

[Briar]

I feel a little bit embarrassed, but I'm okay.

[Fiona]

You called it radio station Briar. Like, what did you think is gonna happen?

[Briar]

Well, I was just kind of trying to figure out what was going on. I mean, I tried to reach out to you. You Always said that you're busy. I mean, what's. What's going on?

[Fiona]

I think. Okay, just. Rule of thumb, future dating. One, I'm busy, she might be busy. Four, I'm busy. She wouldn't want to see you.

[Briar]

Well, I mean, you told me that you were busy three times. What does that mean?

[Fiona]

The assumption is there that you would text again.

[Brooke]

Okay, Briar, you just got to put yourself in her shoes, right? Like, if you were on a date and a woman was crying about her ex, you probably wouldn't feel great about that future with them.

[Briar]

I mean, I was comfortable with her at the end of the day, and I don't mind being sensitive. And she was sensitive to me. I would be open to it as well. Well, I mean, is it wrong that I was open to her book?

[Fiona]

No.

[Brooke]

It just. It just comes off as maybe you're not over the. Yeah, yeah, you know, that's the thing. But maybe. Maybe you're crying because she took all your money. Like, was that why you're crying instead?

[Briar]

Yeah, well, she didn't take all of my money. She just took some of it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, well, that's really generous of her to leave some left over for you to date other women.

[Brooke]

Oh, man, Fiona, like, how many men have been scammed by beautiful women? A lot. I mean, all you want is for Briar to have learned his lesson, right?

[Fiona]

Sure, Yeah, I do want that for him.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's good. And you could help give that to him. If you agree to go on another day, a date that we would pay for.

[Briar]

I'll promise that I won't cry on the second date.

[Fiona]

Honestly, wild that you didn't promise yourself that on the first date.

[Brooke]

Oh, man.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Fiona, do you want to date a guy who's bottling his emotions just for you?

[Brooke]

At least about his ex.

[Fiona]

Yeah, no, I don't want that either.

[Brooke]

Oh, man, you're a confusing woman, Fiona.

[Fiona]

What did Avril Lavigne say? Complicated.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay, so you just want to hook up with him once and then move on.

[Briar]

I would be down for that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay. Okay.

[Fiona]

Of course you will.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay. So is that a yes to the hookup?

[Fiona]

Briar? Very kind of you to say that you felt comfortable with me, and you're very sweet, but no.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, my gosh.

[Brooke]

That's eccentric. That's okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Jeez, Briar, I'm sorry, man.

[Briar]

I don't even know what to say. I guess. I guess I'll go back to crying.

[Brooke]

Don't go back to Onlyfans. No, don't do that. You can't afford that, Alexis.

[Fiona]

Briar, please don't cry again right now.

[Briar]

I can't guarantee that, but.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Before he.

[Brooke]

Starts, I want to give him a hug.

[Ryan Reynolds]

All right, well, you know what, Briar? It's not a date with Fiona, but we'll set you and Brooke up so you guys can hug and cry into each other's arms.

[Brooke]

I mean, I'm married, so it's nothing more than that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay, well, he was. He was in a relationship before, too. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
