1. BACKSTORY: BRETT’S SIDE

• Brett reports he had a great dinner with Alicia.
• He paid, acted like a gentleman, and felt the conversation was normal and smooth.
• No arguments, awkward moments, or red flags — yet communication fizzled afterward.
• They’ve been playing phone tag with no actual connection.
• He doesn’t understand why she’s gone quiet.
• Hosts call Alicia, and she answers.

2. BRINGING IN ALICIA

• Hosts greet Alicia and ask permission to talk on-air.
• Alicia confirms she knows it’s about a date with Brett.
• Hosts share Brett’s take: he likes her and wants to see her again.

3. ALICIA’S REASONS FOR BACKING OFF

Main issue:

Alicia says Brett hasn’t shown any real effort after the date.

Details:

• No flowers, chocolates, small gifts, or gestures.
• Doesn’t like or comment on her very active Instagram posts.
• Feels he’s not giving her the attention she deserves.
• She interprets his lack of online engagement as lack of interest.

Hosts ask for clarification:

• She says he could have sent something to her office.
• She also didn’t like that he asked, “Are you busy Thursday?” instead of making clear, intentional plans.
• She sees that as lazy.

4. BRETT JOINS THE CALL

• Brett is surprised and a bit shocked at her expectations.
• He apologizes if he made her feel unimportant.
• He explains he was trying to make plans by checking her availability.
• Alicia calls that an excuse and insists he wasn’t making “real plans.”
• Hosts attempt to mediate, pointing out that Brett is clearly trying—he even called them for help.
• Alicia finds that a little “desperate,” but acknowledges it shows effort.

5. DEFINING THE EXPECTATIONS

• Hosts ask Alicia to clearly explain what Brett must do to earn a second date.
• Alicia: he needs to show more effort — attention, interest, meaningful actions.
• Hosts ask if Brett’s steps so far count: she says it’s “a step in the right direction,” but not enough on its own.
• Brett confirms he still wants to see her again.

6. NEGOTIATING A SECOND DATE

• Alicia agrees to try again—but Brett must prove he deserves another chance.
• Brett jokingly asks if he should mail her a formal invitation.
• Alicia says she just wants evidence he’s genuinely interested.
• Hosts propose a solution:
• They’ll help Brett plan a solid date.
• They’ll pick a great location.
• The show will pay for it.
• Both agree.
• Alicia adds: he should also like a couple of her Instagram photos.
• Brett reluctantly agrees.
