Brooke
Hey, you found the Brooke and Jeffrey Second Date podcast. We're so happy you're here. Yay. And even more exciting, we officially broke top 20.
Jeffrey
I know.
Brooke
Comedy podcast charts this week, which means.
Jeffrey
You guys are like. You binge and you've been binging us, so we appreciate it.
Brooke
Hours of your life wasted. We love it. Hey, and don't forget to tag us in your Spotify wrapped. Post them on Insta Stories, TikTok, wherever you want to post it. Yes, I'll DM you back on there. I have been to all of them.
Jeffrey
We're going to get a bunch of dudes posting now.
Brooke
Yeah, it's Brooke and Jeffrey. All right, let's start this second date.
Gina
Second date update. A good sign at the end of a first date is a kiss and maybe a short conversation that mentions, hey, this was fun. We should do it again. Maybe with less clothes next time.
Brooke
Yeah, that's a great direct way to say it. I like it.
Gina
A potential bad sign at the end of a date is when one party cuts things off a little bit short and the other party reacts by accusing them of lying.
Brooke
Oh, you don't sue that. What?
Gina
It's not a good sign. Now, our listener Luke didn't go quite that far, but he came right up to the edge of calling her out, and I want to hear the story from him. So, Luke, welcome to the show, man.
Luke
Hey, thanks for having me.
Gina
Yeah.
Brooke
Okay. Are you still really angry, Luke? Because I don't know if we should do this call if that's your headspace.
Luke
No, just kind of sad. I was, like, really excited. Had a good time, so I was just a little disappointed.
Brooke
Okay, okay, okay. All right.
Gina
So who. Who is this girl that we're going to be calling here? What's her name?
Luke
Her name's Ivy, and we met online.
Brooke
Okay. Okay. Why were you so excited about Ivy?
Luke
Well, you know, we were chatting for a little bit after we had, like, met, and, like, we were trying to figure out what we could do, but it was so hot, so we both were like, man, we should do something cool. Maybe something with water or maybe something with ice.
Gina
Oh, freezer date.
Brooke
Yeah, I mean, I get it. Like, that makes sense. You don't want to be sweating your entire date. It's not a good look.
Luke
Yeah, it really wasn't. But I ended up seeing this TikTok video where this guy actually baked a cake in his car because it was so hot outside.
Brooke
Oh, my God.
Gina
What?
Brooke
I just saw someone do a lasagna in a mailbox.
Gina
What the hell?
Brooke
You don't need one anymore.
Jeffrey
So what'd you guys do, make a charcuterie board in a freezer?
Gina
What?
Brooke
So did you guys bake a car cake?
Luke
Well, we were wondering if it was, like. Or, you know, there's no way we could really do it, and so we actually did try it.
Jeffrey
You tested it?
Gina
No way. That was your date.
Brooke
Did it work?
Jeffrey
I actually think that's fun.
Gina
Yeah.
Luke
Like, I thought it was fun. And she was down for it, too, which I was, like, super excited about. And so I went. I picked her up.
Gina
Okay.
Luke
We got the cake mix, we put it in the tray in my car, and we left it out in the sun for, like, maybe about an hour later. And then when we checked it, it was actually baked.
Brooke
Dude, it's like. And now you have cake to eat. It's great.
Gina
And your car smells amazing for days after that, too.
Luke
Yeah, I don't need to buy any of those, like, cinnamon air fresheners for a long time.
Brooke
Oh, my gosh. Try it. What kind of cake did you do? Chocolate Funfetti.
Luke
Well, it turns out both of us, our favorite cake is red velvet.
Brooke
Oh, interesting. So you have a shared cake love.
Luke
Yeah, we tried it, and it tasted really, really good.
Jeffrey
Weird.
Brooke
So this is such a fun date, but it's, like, daytime, right? So it's not like she's probably going to stay the night or anything.
Gina
Brooke's wondering, where does the booze come in?
Brooke
No, it's just, like. I mean, it's more casual that way. When you're in the middle of a day.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Luke
And so I knew she wasn't going to end up staying the whole night, but then she was kind of like, oh, I have to take off. Yeah. This was kind of abrupt.
Brooke
Really?
Luke
Oh.
Brooke
I mean, at that point, you'd probably been hanging out for two hours, right?
Jeffrey
Yeah, it is quick to.
Brooke
Some people just want to leave, like, when the timing's right. Because if you overstay, then that can be a bad look, too, you know?
Gina
Did you have an excuse for, like, why she needed to take off?
Luke
She did. She was like, oh, my dog hasn't been feeling well.
Gina
That's hard to argue with.
Brooke
Yeah.
Luke
Yeah. But see, now, what was weird is that nowhere on her dating profile. And none of her pictures did she even mention having a dog.
Brooke
Oh, wait, you think she's lying about the dog?
Luke
Oh, I just kind of thought it was weird because, like, we. We chatted for a while online, and at no point did a dog come up.
Gina
That is odd, because most people with dogs have to tell you about them.
Brooke
In the first five minutes in their.
Jeffrey
Profile pic of something.
Brooke
Come on. Why would she lie about a dog? There's so many other excuses she could have used, you know?
Luke
But now what happened was that she said her dog was sick. And so I was like, oh, man, I didn't know you had a dog. And then she says, oh, yeah, his name is Sprinkles.
Brooke
Sprinkles? Oh. Cause she's staring at a cake.
Luke
We just put Sprinkles on the cake.
Jeffrey
His name is Red Velvet Car.
Brooke
It's like how my kids come up with names, you know?
Gina
It's a pretty big coincidence there, so.
Luke
Yeah, that's what I thought. It just seemed way too coincidental. But I just didn't even call her out. And so I even told her. I said, okay, well, I'll drive you home. But she was like, oh, no, I'll Uber. Besides, your car is, like, super hot.
Brooke
Yeah, you did just bake a cake.
Jeffrey
Yeah, but that's why I'd want to ride in it.
Brooke
Yeah.
Gina
Have you talked to her at all since the date happened?
Luke
No. I mean, she hasn't. I've tried to text her a couple of times. Nothing about the dog, but I just have got nothing back.
Brooke
Huh. Yeah, that is weird, because the first.
Jeffrey
Thing I'd ask is, how's your dog doing? And she should say, good, bad, whatever.
Brooke
It definitely seems like she wants nothing to do with you. Yeah, so we better call her.
Gina
But he knows that that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna play a song, come back, and we're gonna try and let you have your cake and eat it too.
Brooke
I knew your second date up cliche right now, but okay.
Gina
Yeah, I mean, on a scale of 1 to 10, Luke, how impressed were you by that?
Luke
I have to say maybe about a six. I'd say seven if I wasn't so sad over this girl.
Gina
I'll take it. Yeah, we're going to do a second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update? The first date that we just heard about has all the ingredients that we love.
Brooke
Okay.
Gina
Viral TikTok videos.
Brooke
Oh, yeah.
Gina
Homemade red velvet cake and a sick dog named Sprinkles.
Brooke
I don't know about the sick part.
Gina
Don't feel bad. It's probably just a made up dog. Because Luke and his date Ivy attempted baking a cake inside his car on a hot day. And afterwards she suddenly claimed that she had to go and check on her sick dog, Sprinkles, which Luke thought was a little bit suspicious because she never mentioned having a dog before that. And they just finished putting Sprinkles on top of their cake.
Brooke
Yeah.
Gina
So was that just an excuse or was it an actual emergency? We're about to call her and try and find out. Luke, we're going to put the frosting on this segment here. Unfortunately, Jose's already licked the spoon. Is that still cool with you?
Luke
Yeah, that's fine. I just. Man, I'm really hoping that she and I are able to get reconnected because I really like this girl.
Brooke
If she's lying, she's a terrible liar. You know? Like, you can't even go with Bella. Like, I mean, that's the easiest dog name ever, you know? Yes, I had a dog named Bella.
Gina
Luke, do you think we should just call her a liar as soon as she picks up the phone?
Luke
No, because I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Gina
Okay, that's your call. It's your second date.
Brooke
It's not bad to date a bad liar, you know, then you always know when you're lying. It's the good liars you don't want. They are scary.
Jeffrey
Yeah, that's the bad ones.
Gina
We're going to try and find out that answer right now. I'm just going to dial her number. Here we go.
Jeffrey
You're going to feel dumb if the dog answers the phone.
Brooke
Better be barking in the background.
Gina
Coughing, bark. Here we go.
Ivy
Hello?
Gina
Hey, is this Ivy?
Ivy
Yeah, speaking. Who's this?
Gina
Hi, Ivy. My name is Jeff. I'm an assistant with the veterinary clinic. I'm calling to see how Sprinkles is responding to the antibiotics. Is she doing okay?
Brooke
She's coming right out the gate.
Ivy
Wait, what? Huh?
Gina
Your dog? Sprinkles.
Ivy
Sprinkles?
Gina
Oh, no. Did Sprinkles go to the big fire hydrant in the sky? I'm so sorry.
Ivy
What's going on, guys? What's happening, Ivy?
Gina
So I'm not actually from the vet clinic. You're on the radio right now with a morning show called Brooke and Jeffrey.
Jeffrey
We would be the funnest vet clinic. Four people calling.
Brooke
Hey, I know.
Ivy
I'm like, why are you guys laughing? What is going on?
Gina
We're doing something Called a second date update. We're trying to get some answers for one of our listeners named Luke, who you went out with recently.
Ivy
Oh, yeah, Luke. Right.
Brooke
Girl, why are you lying to Luke?
Ivy
Listen, guys, I mean, I made up a pretty bad lie just to get out of where I was.
Gina
Luke was kind of on to you. He noticed that at the end of the date, you seem a little panicked.
Ivy
Yeah, I just couldn't wait to go. I mean, did he tell you what happened or like.
Gina
Yeah, I mean, we know. We know a little bit about the date. We know that you guys went and tried baking a cake together inside of his car to see if it really worked based off of a viral TikTok.
Brooke
Video, which we thought sounded like a really fun date.
Ivy
Yeah, well, listen, initially I was completely game, but did he tell you anything about his grandparents?
Brooke
His grandparents?
Gina
No. Yeah. What do they have to do?
Brooke
Does he live with them or something?
Ivy
So he picked me up and I thought we were going back to his house. So I was a little shocked when he opened the door and I see two old people sleeping in a rocking chair. You know, he wakes them up and he goes, hey, meet my grandma and my granddad. But I'm like, wait, what better than parents though, right?
Brooke
I feel like that's. I agree. Like, does he take care of his grandparents? Is that why he lives with them?
Ivy
He doesn't live with them. We were just visiting.
Brooke
Oh, never mind. I take it back.
Gina
It sounds like they didn't even know that you guys were coming.
Ivy
No. So here's the thing. So he demands his grandmother to make a cake.
Brooke
Wait, what? Whoa, I thought you two made the cake.
Ivy
No, she did. And then the thing is, he didn't even bring any ingredients, and he's just like, oh, we need to make a cake, blah, blah, blah. And I felt so horrible.
Jeffrey
He's like, grandma, feed us.
Brooke
So, yeah, that is messed up. Oh, that's bad.
Ivy
But here's the thing. I think they're like, in their 90s. It's not like they're like 70 something. They're like really old people. And he's over there, like, cracking whips on his grandmother.
Brooke
She's like, I can't grip the scene. My arthritis hurts.
Ivy
I wanted to help. I mean, I. I even offered, but he kept interrupting and going, no, no, no, let her do it. She needs to stay active.
Brooke
Stop it. Oh, no, he didn't.
Gina
So basically, did grandma at least seem happy to make a nice little cake for her grandson?
Brooke
CPS for grandparents that we can call. That's Worried about these old people.
Ivy
So that wasn't even the worst part. Guys, how does it get worse? Okay, so when the timer went off and he decided to go check on the cake, we went outside and I opened the car door.
Gina
Yeah.
Ivy
And it was super hot in the car, you know? And I said something like, it's hot like an oven in here. And he reached around and touched my stomach and said, he can't wait to put a bun in the oven.
Brooke
No.
Jeffrey
Oh, my God.
Gina
He's a romantic.
Brooke
What the hell?
Ivy
I melted. Like, I was like, oh, my God.
Gina
Maybe he just meant eat the cake.
Brooke
No, he's like. And then you can stay in the kitchen where you belong. Like, what the hell is going on? This guy sucks.
Gina
I hate to say this, but we didn't tell you. Mr. Muffin man is on the other line himself, and he wants to talk to you.
Ivy
Are you serious?
Brooke
I'm sorry. You have to talk to him.
Gina
Luke, you there?
Ivy
It wasn't Went through all of that. You're putting me through more torture.
Brooke
We didn't know.
Gina
Luke. Talk to your future baby mama.
Ivy
Oh, my God.
Jeffrey
Start a family.
Brooke
Yeah. What the hell, Luke?
Luke
I. Okay, I. Like, the thing is, I knew my grandma was gonna have the stuff for the cake.
Brooke
Yeah, so does the grocery store, Luke. That's where you go to get it.
Gina
That's the part that you're the most upset about. What, about the bun in the oven?
Brooke
Yeah, I'm upset about all of it. Yeah. We're just starting from the beginning.
Gina
Okay.
Brooke
Yeah.
Gina
Look.
Luke
Okay. I think that was a sweet thing to say. You know, it means I'm, like, looking into the future.
Gina
I could see that. And, you know, a lot of the times when you're around your grandparents, they're pressuring you. They're like, hey, when are you going to give me some grandkids? So it probably just was like that.
Ivy
On the first date. Are you serious? I'm, like, petrified of you and getting anything put in my oven.
Gina
Okay, so I guess the second date, maybe it would have been a better move.
Brooke
You could date me for five years. Don't do that. I have two kids with my husband, and if he did that to me, I'd still be grossed out.
Ad Announcer
Like, yeah.
Jeffrey
She'd be like, don't touch my oven.
Brooke
Yes.
Ivy
Oh, my God. My kitchen is closed right now. I don't even know you.
Brooke
Thank you.
Jeffrey
Wow.
Brooke
Guy just wants, like, have you never talked to a woman before? Like, do you not know?
Luke
I. Look, I just. Okay, I. Maybe that wasn't the smartest thing to say.
Brooke
Not.
Ivy
Maybe it wasn't.
Luke
I was trying to be cute or sweet, but also.
Ivy
Oh no. And then your grandparents are like 90 something years old and you're over there cracking whips and making her do all these things. I don't. It's a lot.
Luke
I did not crack a whip.
Gina
It was a dish towel. It's different.
Luke
Oh my God.
Ivy
I'm done.
Jeffrey
We see why now. We didn't know any of this.
Luke
Well, here's the thing. My grandmother loves baking cake. She was a baker when she was younger. Yeah, and by the way, last time I tried to help her bake a cake by cracking the egg, she slapped my hand with this friggin wooden spoon.
Brooke
Is not because you said something rude at the same time.
Gina
I mean, you didn't say you wanted to put a bun in your grandma's oven, did you?
Brooke
Oh my.
Gina
Go to help her with the cooking because she can't bend down to reach the oven.
Jeffrey
Talking about cinnamon rolls.
Gina
It's a. It's a back pain issue.
Brooke
That's what I mean. Oh, that's bad. The oven doesn't work anymore, Jeff.
Gina
Well, okay, at this point, let's just get to the end of this. And let me ask Ivy, would you.
Brooke
Are we gonna do that?
Gina
You can't get any worse than what happened on the first date. So on the second date, there's nowhere to go but up and we'd like to pay for it.
Ivy
No, thank you.
Brooke
Yeah, that was polite. That was a lot more polite.
Gina
I did not see this coming.
Ivy
I want to say hell no, but I'll be nice. No, thank you.
Brooke
Okay.
Gina
Okay.
Jeffrey
All right.
Brooke
Luke, you can't be shocked with that.
Luke
Yeah, I guess.
Gina
Oh, would have been nice to know about the grandparents before we called Ivy and had that sprung on us.
Brooke
Yeah, or the bun in the oven line or.
Luke
I think those things were important, you know, like. Well, you know, we did a little TikTok challenge. We bonded over it, and she lied about her dog to get out of it.
Ivy
We bonded. We bonded.
Brooke
We'll try to make her the villain.
Gina
I know this didn't work out quite that well for us, but. Luke, maybe your grandma would like to make a cake for our morning show.
Luke
Yay.
Gina
She needs to stay active.
Brooke
I don't know. I feel bad about that. I mean, I'd eat it. Okay. Yeah, we'll eat it. Brooke, no cake for you.
Jeffrey
Your grandpa build us a shed too.
Ad Announcer
Brooke and Jeffrey in the.
Gina
I think that was actually kind of our fault that we didn't get the second Date there.
Brooke
What are you talking. I'm not taking blame for that. You can go with your fault. Not my fault.
Gina
We none of us in here asked him, did you bake the cake at your place? Did you bake it at her place? Where did this date actually happen?
Jeffrey
Because that's us.
Gina
That's on us for just assuming. Because he would have told us that it was at his grandparents. But we never asked the question.
Brooke
Now you don't ask. Did you go to your grandparents house and force your 90 year old grandmother to make the cake? Just not.
Gina
That's a very natural question. That's absolutely the first question we should have thought of. So now what happened? Now not only is there egg in the bowl, there's egg on all of our faces.
Brooke
Oh boy.
Gina
And buns in ovens all over the place.
Brooke
Oh God. I bet there better not be.
Gina
Yeah, yeah. Better go pee on something and make sure.
Jeffrey
Yeah, let's all get tested.
Gina
So no second date there.
Brooke
But I don't think he's gonna get a second date in the future anytime soon either.
Gina
And going forward though, we promise to ask all the important questions. Where your parents were, where your grandparents were. What weird questions were asked. Any odd references for any future second date update that we do.
Jeffrey
I have a bad feeling. Next time someone's like, oh, well, we ate a casserole, we're gonna be like, no, we know what happened. Grandma baked it, didn't it?
Gina
Because we're better investigators. Yes, we are.
Jeffrey
We're all better now.
Gina
So email us if you ever want to get a second date update. We'll call the person who isn't calling you back.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Episode: Second Date Update: Have Your Car Cake & Eat It Too
Release Date: December 6, 2024
The episode kicks off with Brooke expressing excitement about the podcast's recent achievement of breaking into the top 20 of the 03:00 Comedy Podcast Charts. She thanks the listeners for their support, humorously referring to the time they've invested as "hours of your life wasted" (03:00). Brooke encourages fans to share their Spotify Wrapped and tag the podcast on social media platforms like Instagram Stories and TikTok, promising to engage with listeners across various channels (03:12).
The core of the episode revolves around Luke's date with Ivy, which combines a viral TikTok challenge with a unique twist. Gina introduces Luke's story, highlighting a potential red flag when Ivy abruptly ends the date by claiming her dog, Sprinkles, isn't feeling well—a detail Luke finds suspicious since her dating profile made no mention of a pet (07:04).
Key Moments:
Date Activities: Luke and Ivy decided to bake a cake inside Luke's car on a hot day, inspired by a viral TikTok video (04:30). They successfully baked a red velvet cake, which they both enjoyed, fostering a sense of connection (06:10).
Suspicious Exit: Despite the enjoyable activity, Ivy's sudden need to leave, citing her dog's illness, raised Luke's suspicions. He noted the absence of any prior mention of a dog in their interactions (07:22).
Interplay with Luke's Grandparents: Further complicating the situation, Brooke and Gina delve into Ivy's claims, revealing that Luke actually introduced Ivy to his grandparents during the date. Ivy's story didn't align with Luke's real-life situation, pointing to potential dishonesty (12:00).
Notable Quotes:
Determined to uncover the truth, Brooke and Jeffrey initiate a "Second Date Update." They contact Ivy under the guise of being from a veterinary clinic to verify the status of her dog, Sprinkles.
Key Moments:
The Call: Ivy initially believes she's speaking with a veterinary assistant, leading her to discuss her dog's health. As the conversation unfolds, the hosts reveal the true nature of the call, catching Ivy off guard (11:24).
Ivy's Admission: Under pressure, Ivy admits to fabricating the excuse about her dog to leave the date early. She further shares unsettling details about Luke's behavior, including his interaction with his grandparents and inappropriate comments like "putting a bun in the oven," which Luke intended as a romantic gesture (12:37; 14:56).
Notable Quotes:
The revelation leads to an intense exchange where Brooke and Gina question Ivy's motives and Luke's suitability as a date. Ivy responds defensively, expressing fear and disgust over Luke's behavior during the date, particularly his intrusive comments and treatment of his grandparents (15:16).
Key Moments:
Luke's Defense: Luke tries to justify his actions by explaining his grandmother's love for baking and his own mishaps in the kitchen, attempting to soften Ivy's perception (17:01).
Hosts' Critique: Brooke and Gina critique Luke's lack of communication about his living situation with his grandparents and his inappropriate remarks, emphasizing the importance of honesty in dating (19:18).
Notable Quotes:
Towards the end of the episode, Brooke and Jeffrey reflect on the missteps in their approach, acknowledging that they should have asked more probing questions about Luke's living arrangements and the true location of the date. They commit to being more thorough in future investigations to prevent similar confusions (19:20; 20:21).
Key Takeaways:
Importance of Transparency: Ensuring clear communication about personal details, such as living arrangements and pets, is crucial in dating to build trust.
