Introduction

In the latest episode of "Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update," hosts Brooke and Jeffrey dive into the antics of Luke, a recurring guest on the show, as he navigates his second date with Lisa. The episode, titled "Pop Some Tags," offers both humor and heartfelt insights into the challenges of modern dating, especially when unconventional approaches are involved.

Recap of Luke's Previous Date

The episode begins with Brooke and Jeffrey reflecting on Luke’s initial appearance on the show. Luke previously attempted to impress a young woman by posting a photo of them together on Instagram without her permission— an effort that didn't quite land well.

Brooke: "She's not getting that." (07:15)
Jeffrey: "You never clarified." (07:15)

These early missteps set the stage for Luke's determination to redeem himself in his second date endeavor.

Luke's Strategy for the Second Date

Determined to make a better impression, Luke approaches his second date with Lisa differently. His strategy revolves around showcasing his true self early in the dating process to prevent being ghosted.

Luke: "I try and let the person know who I am. I mean, because if they know who I am, then it'll be a lot harder to ghost me." (05:17)
Brooke: "At least, I would think be harder to ghost you." (05:25)
Jeffrey: "You're trying to not keep it so surface. You're diving a little bit deeper early on into the date." (05:36)

The Date Night Unfolds

Luke's date with Lisa is a blend of creativity and quirkiness. He attempts to drop hints about his musical past, revealing that he used to be in a band. Instead of directly stating this, Luke employs subtle tactics:

1. Napkin Art: During dinner, Luke draws a microphone on a napkin, hoping Lisa will pick up on the hint about his musical background.

   Luke: "I tried to put like dots on the top of it to show it was a microphone." (07:08)
   Jeffrey: "You never clarified." (07:15)

2. Music Selection: Later, he plays Macklemore’s "Thrift Shop" on the jukebox, believing this would signal his musical interests.

   Luke: "I did try and play another surprise song, which was Macklemore again." (09:32)
   Brooke: "That's the wedding song." (19:45)

Despite his efforts, Lisa remains oblivious to these hints during the date, offering only ambiguous reactions.

Brooke: "She did clap after the song." (09:09)
Leah: "If this works out, that's your song as a couple." (09:40)

Turning Up the Efforts

Determined to leave no stone unturned, Luke takes the bold step of inviting Lisa to his place for dinner, accompanied by a live musical performance. However, this move introduces unexpected complications.

Luke: "I drove it to my place and, you know, I had dinner there, waiting." (08:06)
Brooke: "We're gonna call her and ask why she doesn't appreciate a brave, courageous man..." (10:15)
Jeffrey: "Picture this is what Luke sang to his date Lisa while she ate dinner at his place." (10:52)

Unexpected Audience: Luke's Parents

A twist in the narrative occurs when it's revealed that Luke's parents were present during the dinner setup, further complicating the date dynamic.

Luke: "It's just that because we were already out, I had asked my parents to make dinner and have it ready." (16:20)
Jeffrey: "Why didn't you kick them out? This isn't a bad thing, Lisa." (16:37)
Brooke: "She says shocking, right?" (16:04)

This revelation leads to a humorous yet awkward situation, as Brooke and Jeffrey navigate Luke's intentions versus Lisa's reception.

Connecting with Lisa

Seeking clarity, Brooke and Jeffrey reach out to Lisa directly on air to understand her perspective on the unconventional date.

Brooke: "She did clap after his performance." (09:09)
Jake: "It was set up like a performance restaurant kind of thing. They were just there to help." (17:11)
Luke: "Did you not like Macklemore? Luke, Macklemore is not the issue." (17:55)

Despite Luke’s earnest efforts, Lisa decides not to pursue a second date, leading to a heartfelt conclusion.

Luke: "No, I do not want to go out again." (19:07)
Brooke: "We'll call her first. Here we go." (12:28)
Jeffrey: "But maybe she liked it." (09:07)

Hosts’ Reflections and Takeaways

Brooke and Jeffrey reflect on Luke's genuine but misguided efforts to connect, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and understanding in dating.

Jeffrey: "Lisa, we all agree Luke's a good guy. His tactics are a little unconventional, but that's just what makes him so unique." (19:00)
Brooke: "Nobody has those boxes." (20:23)
Jeffrey: "Somebody out there has to appreciate Macklemore and your musical talents." (19:16)

Conclusion and Call to Action

Wrapping up the episode, Brooke and Jeffrey encourage listeners to share their own dating dilemmas for potential second date updates, fostering a community of support and entertainment.

Brooke: "If you have somebody who's not calling you back, email the show. We can call them for you and get you a second date update." (20:43)
Jeffrey: "Go check out all of ours wherever you get your podcast at Brooke and..." (20:43)

[Leah]

Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And you found the Second Day Update podcast. I'm just gonna say, after today's second date, I will never hear one specific Macklemore song the same. I mean, I already tried to avoid listening it, but now I'm gonna try extra hard to avoid it. Oh, you are in for a treat. And hopefully a big laugh right now. But first we gotta read some comments from our lovely podcast. I love Just K. That's all they wrote is their name. Kay, okay. Met someone from the UK who was listening to this show. That's how they found us. It's now my third week binging in and it's hilarious. Hey, was that my ex boyfriend? Oh, just K. No, the British guy that she met. Does he still like you enough to do that? Yeah, but he never listens, so. Oh wait, it does say it's his new girlfriend.

[Matt]

Oh, that's why that makes sense.

[Leah]

Yeah, there we go.

[Matt]

All right, she loves the show.

[Leah]

Let's get the date started right now.

[Matt]

Second date Update. I feel good that we're like an adoptive home for lonely single men and women until they eventually find their permanent homes and leave the nest. And the loveless stray that we're bringing in today, his name is Luke again for a second time. Cuz Luke has actually been on the show before.

[Leah]

We've had a lot of return people lately.

[Matt]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's why we're the safe place straight.

[Leah]

Just always come back.

[Matt]

And last, like a pigeon, you just keep coming around. Last time Luke was on, he was irritating a young woman by posting a photo of them together onto his Instagram but didn't ask her permission to post it first.

[Leah]

It is the one where she didn't like the her look cuz he didn't use a filter. Exactly right.

[Matt]

So like I said, lessons have been learned. Luke, do you know better now? Pictures are a no, no. Only post videos of them without permission.

[Leah]

All of it's fine if you use the right filter. Don't you remember that who segment? He's not with her now, so he's got to delete the photo. Yes, that's true. Or you leave it up to me.

[Matt]

Look, you're in a better place though. Now leave it up.

[Luke]

Yeah, I am, I am better now. I, I, I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but I am not going to make that mistake.

[Leah]

Okay, that's good. You say, really?

[Matt]

How us guys get in trouble.

[Leah]

I love when you say you're better, but you're back with us.

[Matt]

Well, it's good because apparently there's a new woman, a better woman that we're trying to track down for you. Tell us about her.

[Luke]

So her name is Lisa. I met her on Tinder. And lately I've been trying a new strategy.

[Matt]

Okay.

[Luke]

I try and let the person know who I am. I mean, because if they know who I am, then it'll be a lot harder to ghost me.

[Leah]

At least, I would think be harder to ghost you.

[Matt]

Wait, hold on. What do you mean, know who I am? What?

[Leah]

He just means as a person.

[Matt]

Oh, okay, sorry. Do that.

[Leah]

What do you normally.

[Matt]

That's also a good point.

[Luke]

I mean. Cause you know how, like, first dates are. They want to know, like, what's your job? What do you do for a.

[Matt]

You're trying to not keep it so surface. You're diving a little bit deeper early on into the date.

[Leah]

The essence of who you are as a person.

[Matt]

Yeah. So how did you accomplish that with Lisa?

[Luke]

Well, one of the things that I like anybody that I'm dating to know is that, I mean, I used to be in a band.

[Matt]

Cool. That's a cool thing.

[Luke]

Yeah. I mean, I try and do, like a funny lead up into the date and give them hints about my musical talents.

[Leah]

Give them hints.

[Matt]

You don't just tell them straight out that I was in a band. Can we get a loaf of bread? Sorry about that. Wow, you were so skilled. Were you in a band?

[Leah]

Why wouldn't you just not tell her?

[Luke]

Yeah, I mean, that's not really fun. I mean, there's no mystery behind it.

[Leah]

Okay. It's so annoying, though, when someone's dropping hints for you to obviously ask, you.

[Matt]

Know, I don't know, how do you drop a hint? What's your tactic?

[Luke]

Okay, so what I did at dinner when I was with her was that I drew a picture of a microphone on a napkin.

[Matt]

Okay. Like, you were doodling, or you were.

[Leah]

Like, let me draw a picture while she's talking to you.

[Matt]

Oh, yeah, that could be rude.

[Luke]

It wasn't like I was completely ignoring her. I mean, you know, I can walk and chew gum at the same time.

[Matt]

All right. Okay.

[Leah]

Did she know it was a microphone? Did she pick up on your hint?

[Luke]

Um, she didn't really say Anything. She just kind of gave me a look.

[Leah]

I mean, the shape of that is not good.

[Matt]

I was thinking that, bro.

[Leah]

Yeah, it's a shape that can be mistaken.

[Luke]

Yeah, I tried to put like dots on the top of it to show it was a microphone.

[Matt]

Okay, she's not getting that.

[Leah]

You never clarified.

[Luke]

No, I didn't want to blow the surprise, honestly.

[Matt]

Okay, you still want her to guess it's a night long game of charades.

[Leah]

And then she doesn't know she's playing Pictionary, Jeff.

[Matt]

Pictionary. Right.

[Luke]

Okay, so then later on I did. I played something for her on the jukebox. A little Macklemore. I'm going to pop some tags.

[Matt]

Hey, that's a fun song. Thrift Shop.

[Leah]

I don't want to hear that song. Yeah, how is that a hint that you're in a band?

[Luke]

Well, I thought it would be, but I. I just kept telling her, do you like this? Do you like that?

[Matt]

Oh, man. Okay, so maybe she thinks you're just kind of random because your attempts at giving your hands were bad.

[Leah]

You're not even currently in the band.

[Matt]

Right, well, that's right. This is an old story, but it's the essence of who he is from his youth. Don't listen to them, Luke. What? What happened next?

[Luke]

Okay, well, we finished our drinks and I was like, I have to take you somewhere for dinner. Do you trust me?

[Leah]

Oh, God. After that drawing, I'm gonna guess she said no.

[Matt]

Okay, what did she say?

[Luke]

She said no.

[Leah]

Yeah, she got in my car.

[Luke]

Anyway.

[Leah]

Okay, someone needs to teach her. That's not. That does sound like an Alexis move where you just wanna.

[Matt]

She's being playful. Where'd you go for dinner?

[Luke]

I drove it to my place and, you know, I had dinner there, waiting. I also had my karaoke set up and.

[Matt]

Oh, this is where she's gonna find. Oh, this is another hint.

[Leah]

You're gonna karaoke. Just the two of you. And you're up.

[Matt]

Hey, that sounds fun. Brooke, leave him alone.

[Luke]

So I wound up singing the Macklemore song to her while she ate.

[Leah]

Why are we even calling her?

[Matt]

Yeah, bro, this is a train wreck.

[Leah]

Oh, buddy. Okay, I mean, maybe she liked it. Okay, O, we're teasing you a lot. But maybe she liked it.

[Luke]

She did clap after the song.

[Leah]

Oh, that is good. She did like it. Did she find out you were in a band?

[Matt]

Play more Macklemore.

[Leah]

Oh, yeah, good question.

[Matt]

Did that come up? Oh, yeah.

[Luke]

No. After all that, when I was driving her home, I did try one more hint. And so I Did try and play another surprise song, which was Macklemore again.

[Leah]

Wait, was it Thrift Shop again or a different song?

[Luke]

I mean, I really like Thrift Shops.

[Matt]

It was nothing.

[Leah]

You know what, though? If this works out, that's your song as a couple.

[Matt]

That's it.

[Leah]

That's the wedding song.

[Matt]

That's everything. Okay. Did you end with a hug, a kiss, anything like that?

[Luke]

A hug.

[Leah]

Did she mention anything about seeing you again or.

[Luke]

She did not. That's why I'm curious.

[Leah]

You're curious.

[Matt]

Okay. Have you hit her up at all? I think we all are. So, Luke, you've been on with us before. You know how this works. We're gonna call her and ask. Ask why she doesn't appreciate a brave, courageous man who's willing to just be himself and give her a live musical performance during dinner.

[Leah]

I mean, we could talk to her, or we could just play Macklemore for her for four minutes and see what her get ready for the intro.

[Matt]

I do have a thought about what music to bump in with when we come back. I don't want to spoil which one it's gonna be, though. I mean, nobody guess.

[Leah]

I'm not guessing.

[Matt]

Okay, we're gonna come back and do it with your second date update right after we pop some tags. I already hated that stuff. Second date update. I pulled Thrift Shop, the knockoff karaoke version, off the Internet for this. Because I picture this is what Luke sang to his date Lisa while she ate dinner at his place.

[Leah]

Dude, I can't believe we haven't asked for a sample from Luke.

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Leah]

Of his skills.

[Matt]

Well, I think that's. That's reserved for his romantic serenades. Got it. I don't want to confuse that. That all really happened. But, Luke, we never asked you. Did you dance for her while you sang?

[Leah]

Oh, I'm sure Luke has choreography. Don't Luke.

[Luke]

I stepped, like, from left to right, side to side.

[Matt]

Wow. This way.

[Leah]

I got it.

[Matt]

Okay, now, the whole point of doing all of this, this fun, mystery, creative date that you set up was to let Lisa know that you used to be in a band so that she could get to know the real you. You forgot to actually tell her that.

[Leah]

So my forget.

[Matt]

We just never got there and then never came up. So that my question now is, if we do get Lisa on the line, do you want us to tell her that information, or should we save it for.

[Luke]

No, I think I still want to tell her. I think that was the whole point, and I probably should just follow through.

[Leah]

I'm still confused how the knowledge of you previously being in a band really opens up who you are. Yeah, it just sounds like maybe you think that that's what chicks like.

[Luke]

Well, don't. They do.

[Matt]

It is true. I mean, Alexis, a guy who's formerly in a band. Come on. And we're turning around.

[Leah]

Imagine him performing in his garage for his mom.

[Luke]

Wow, you're not far off.

[Matt]

Every girl starts somewhere. Okay, well, if Lisa says no, then Alexis is on deck. But let's call Lisa first. Here we go.

[Luke]

Hello?

[Matt]

Hey, is this Lisa?

[Luke]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Hey, Lisa. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Sorry to interrupt your day.

[Leah]

Okay.

[Luke]

What'S this about?

[Leah]

Great question.

[Matt]

Yeah, we. It's about a thing that we do called a second date update.

[Luke]

Uh huh.

[Matt]

And we also play music.

[Leah]

No big lovers of music.

[Matt]

We take requests. If you have any, like to do a shout out on the radio right now.

[Luke]

Ah, no, no.

[Matt]

Oh, okay. We call you for shout outs. But back to the second date update thing that we do. Not sure if you're familiar, but you went out with one of our listeners recently, A friend of the show. Actually one of our more talented friends named Luke.

[Luke]

Okay, all right.

[Leah]

Sounds like it was a pretty memorable night with Luke. Right.

[Luke]

Well, what did he tell you about the date?

[Matt]

It was, I mean, full of surprises. Lots of surprises, Lots of fun. There was drinks, you went back to his place, he had dinner ready for you and then even performed a song live, which we all thought most guys would never go through with all of that for just a first date. We were pretty impressed. We're wondering.

[Luke]

So he didn't tell you anything else?

[Matt]

I mean, well, it felt like a lot.

[Leah]

He did tell us that like going back to his place was a surprise. Yeah, I don't know how that felt to you.

[Luke]

Yeah, normally. Normally I would not.

[Leah]

Right, right.

[Matt]

But you did go back with him and got in his car. Because I think you probably got the same vibe that we got speaking to him, that he's a good dude. And he sounds like he went through a lot of trouble to make this date really fun and different.

[Luke]

Well, truth be told, I was very hungry.

[Leah]

Oh, you're hungry? Well, you know, I get it. Sometimes I make poor decisions when I'm hungry.

[Matt]

Right. All right.

[Leah]

You're like, ah, safety.

[Matt]

But he had food ready for you. That must be nice.

[Leah]

Yeah. Was it a good dinner that he made?

[Luke]

His parents were there.

[Matt]

Oh, no, wait, at his place. That's why dinner was ready. He didn't come.

[Leah]

I'm gonna guess it's not his place, Jeff.

[Matt]

Oh, well, okay, so wait, he took.

[Leah]

You back to his parents house? Is that what you're saying?

[Luke]

I'm guessing that was his parents house. Here's the thing. I was eating. His parents were not eating.

[Leah]

You're sitting at the table with all of them.

[Luke]

No, it was set up like a kid had set it up to perform in front of his parents.

[Matt]

Like a living room gospel.

[Leah]

I'm not gonna say this is what I was imagining, but it was. How did you know? Wow.

[Matt]

Okay.

[Leah]

He left that detail out. We did not get any information about his mom and dad.

[Luke]

Yeah, big, big, important, Very important.

[Matt]

Okay, well, personally, I would have felt more safe having his parents there. They're like the chaperones of your day to make sure everything goes well. Yeah, that way if he wants a drink too, right? Yeah, someone's gonna drive you back.

[Leah]

That's a good point.

[Luke]

I did not feel that way. I felt like it was super weird.

[Matt]

Well, look, I get it. For some people, I understand parents on a date, that' a red flag. For others it's not. Well, some people it's not a big deal. And that might be where Luke stands. And we should probably ask him about it because he is on the other line right now waiting to talk to you. Lisa.

[Leah]

She says shocking, right?

[Matt]

Luki there?

[Luke]

Yeah. Hey, Lisa. Hi. For the record, it is my place. It's just that because we were already out, I had asked my parents to make dinner and have it ready.

[Leah]

No.

[Luke]

How else was I gonna make sure that everything was ready for you?

[Leah]

Okay, if you live with your parents, that's okay. You don't have to lie.

[Luke]

I. I didn't lie. They have a key to my place and they come over and make dinner all the time.

[Matt]

Oh, that's nice.

[Leah]

Then they sat and hung out while you performed.

[Matt]

Why didn't you kick them out? No, that. This isn't a bad thing, Lisa. This is a guy who has a very good relationship with his mom and dad. No, well, I'm sorry. Okay, tell me this. Did you or did you not clap after his performance?

[Luke]

Oh, his parents clapped. Louder.

[Leah]

His parents. Why did you not tell us all of this part?

[Matt]

It would have helped us if we had known your parents were there.

[Leah]

Yeah, man.

[Luke]

Well, I kind of set it up like a performance restaurant kind of thing. They were just there to help.

[Leah]

Okay, you're at your home with your parents playing restaurant.

[Luke]

Yeah.

[Matt]

Yeah. At least they didn't play doctor. Yeah.

[Leah]

Oh, God, Luke.

[Matt]

He's got a fun, youthful spirit to him. Broken that can't be broken.

[Leah]

I think the thing is, you are a really nice guy. I think maybe you just need to be more upfront with people.

[Luke]

Okay, Lisa, did you not like Macklemore? Luke, Macklemore is not the issue. The whole date was the issue. That was weird. I think anybody would think that that whole situation was weird when I did I have the music up a little bit too loud, you know, because I wanted it, like, you know, really up high for energy.

[Matt]

Okay, good question.

[Luke]

Oh, my gosh. You're not listening to what I'm saying at all. It wasn't that.

[Leah]

He's like.

[Matt]

So you might need to be more specific.

[Luke]

So my parents dinner was pretty bad. My mom makes some amazing food.

[Matt]

Okay, maybe it's just an off night for the cooking.

[Leah]

Mom, it ruined everything. The casserole didn't hit like it was supposed to.

[Matt]

We could tell her to try again.

[Luke]

Luke, I think that you need to learn what self awareness is.

[Matt]

That's a good thing. I don't know. In that Macklemore song. So maybe he should look it up. I'm gonna be somewhere.

[Luke]

I'm gonna pop some tag. Hey.

[Matt]

Listen to that voice.

[Leah]

So enthusiastic. Okay. Is that the only song he knows?

[Matt]

Romantic one.

[Leah]

I like that part. Yeah.

[Matt]

Yeah. Bottom line, Lisa, we all agree Luke's a good guy. His tactics are a little unconventional, but that's just what makes him so unique. And special intentions are pure. And clearly his parents would approve of going out with you again. We all approve of it. It's just up to you. We would pay for another date if you say yes.

[Luke]

Listen, you can be a nice guy and still be a weirdo. And enough so that. No, I do not want to go out again.

[Matt]

Oh, man. Not a weirdo and a nutso. No, that was a little too harsh.

[Leah]

Yeah.

[Luke]

What if I play a different Macklemore song?

[Matt]

I'm sure that there's another lady who appreciate Macklemore and your musical talents. Yeah. And you'll meet her soon. Okay. Text. Word's gonna fill up, brother. Yeah.

[Leah]

Yeah. Already just text flooding in.

[Matt]

Read one. Brooke.

[Leah]

Yeah.

[Matt]

There's so many.

[Leah]

Yeah, I just can't choose.

[Matt]

It keeps refreshing.

Yeah.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Oh, I really feel like that lady doesn't deserve him.

[Leah]

Oh, really?

[Matt]

No, he was. I'm sorry. Luke was a good guy who picked. Puts effort into his dates. Wants ladies to get to know the real him.

[Leah]

Yeah, but Jeff, he doesn't like. All he wants ladies to know is that he was used to being a band. Like he wasn't honest about anything about his life.

[Matt]

That's who he is.

[Leah]

Dishonest fans.

[Matt]

I don't hate on him for his truth. That's never so true. I don't care how long I have to wait by the text board for a woman to text him that actually is willing to appreciate him. But how hard can this be? He checks all of the boxes. He's close with his parents. He does napkin art. He used to be in a band.

[Leah]

Nobody has those boxes.

[Matt]

He likes rap music by white guys. Somebody out there has to.

[Leah]

Are we calling that rap music?

[Matt]

Something rap adjacent? Don't you speak of Macklemore that way. Come on ladies. Go out with Luke. Give him a chance to show him the real you or the real him. Yeah, yeah, he'll show you something for you.

[Leah]

That was impassioned.

[Matt]

Anyway, we do want to help. If you have somebody who's not calling you back, email the show. We can call them for you and get you a second date update. Go check out all of ours wherever you get your podcast at Brooke and.
