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. Yeah, that's a great end to a date. Direct way to say it i like it 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 oh you don't do that what it's not

a good sign now our listener luke didn't go quite 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. Hey, thanks for having me. Okay, are you still really angry, Luke? Because I don't know if we should do this call if that's your headspace. No, I'm just kind of sad. I was, like, really excited and had a good time.

So I was just a little disappointed. Okay. Okay. All right. So who is this girl that we're going to be calling here? What's her name? Her name's Ivy. And we met online.

Okay. And why were you so excited about Ivy? Well, we were chatting for a little bit after we had met. And we were trying to figure out what we could do, but it was so hot. But we both were like, man, we should do something cool. Maybe something with water or maybe something with ice. Oh, freezer date. 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. 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. Oh, my God. What? I just saw someone do a lasagna in a mailbox. What the hell?

Yeah. Hey, guys, what happened to an oven? I don't understand. You don't need one anymore. So what did you guys do? Make a charcuterieagna in a mailbox. What the hell? Hey, you guys, what happened to an oven? I don't understand. You don't need one anymore. So what'd you guys do? Make a charcuterie board in a freezer? What?

So did you guys bake a car cake? Well, we were wondering if it was, like, fake or, you know, there's no way we could really do it. And so we actually did try it. You tested it?

No way. That was your date? Did it work? I actually think that's fun yeah 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 okay we got the cake mix we put it in a 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. No way! Dude, it's like, and now you have cake

to eat. Yeah, that's your reward! I mean, it's great! And your car smells amazing for days after that, too. Yeah, I don't need to buy any of those, like, cinnamon air fresheners for a long time. Oh my gosh. What kind of cake did you do? Chocolate? Funfetti?

Well, it turns turns out both of us Our favorite cake is red velvet Oh So you have a shared cake love Yeah we tried it and it tasted really Really good Weird 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 Brooke's wondering where does the booze come into play here? No, it's just like, I mean, it's more casual that way when you're in the middle of a day. Yeah, 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. Really? Oh. I mean, at that point, you'd probably been hanging out for two hours, right? Yeah, it's not quick to make a case. Some people just want to leave when the timing's right, because if you overstay, then that can be a bad look, too.

Did she have an excuse for why she needed to take off? She did. She was like, oh, my dog hasn't been feeling well. That's hard to argue with. Yeah, but see, now what was weird is that nowhere on her dating profile or none of her pictures

did she even mention having a dog. Wait, you think she's lying about the dog? Oh. I just kind of thought it was weird because we chatted for a while online and at no point did a dog come up. That is odd because most people with dogs have to tell you about them in the first five minutes.

Or they're in their profile pic or something. Come on, why would she lie about a dog? There's so many other excuses she could have used. 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 yeah, his name is Sprinkle. Sprinkles. Oh, because she's staring at a cake.

We had just put Sprinkles on the cake. His name is Red Velvet Car. Yes. It's like how my kids come up with names, you know? I'll call him Lamb. It's a pretty big coincidence there. Yeah, that's what i thought it just seemed way too coincidental but i 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 yeah you did just make a cake yeah so yeah but that's why i want to ride in it yeah that smells so good have you talked to her at all since the date happened? 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. Huh. Yeah.

That is weird. Because the first thing I'd ask is, how's your dog doing? And she should say good, bad, whatever. It definitely seems like she wants nothing to do with you. Yeah. So we better call her. But he knows that. That's what we're going to do.

We're going to play a song, come back, and we're going to try and let you have your cake and eat it too when we do your second date update. I was wondering when you'd work it in, Dan. Kind of cliche right now, but okay. I mean, on a scale of 1 to 10, Luke, how impressed were you by that?

I'd have to say maybe about a 6. I'd say 7 if I wasn't so sad over this girl. I'll take it. 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. Okay.

Viral TikTok videos. Oh, yeah. Homemade red velvet cake. Oh, yeah. And a sick dog named Sprinkles. What about the sick part? 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. Yeah. 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? 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. If she's lying, she's a terrible liar. Yeah, that is true. You can't even... It's like a kid lying.

Totally. Maybe we should start. Bella, like, I mean, that's the easiest dog name ever, you know? Every girl in the world has a dog named Bella. Yes. I have a dog named Bella. Of course. Just saying.

Luke, do you think we should just call her a liar as soon as she picks up the phone? No, because I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Okay. That's your call. It's your second date. It's not bad to date a bad liar. You know, then you always know when they're lying. It's the good liars you don't want to date. Yeah, that's the bad ones. We're going to try and find out that answer right now. I'm just going to dial her number. Here we go. You're going to feel dumb if the dog answers the phone. Better be barking in the background. Coughing bark. Here we go. Hello?

Hey, is this Ivy? Yeah, speaking. Who's this? Hi, Ivy. My name's 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? She's coming right out the gate, huh? Wait, what, huh? Your dog Sprinkles? Sprinkles? Oh, no. Did Sprinkles go to the big fire hydrant in the sky?

I'm so sorry. What's going on, guys? What's happening? Ivy, so I'm not actually from the vet clinic. You're on the radio right now with a morning show called Brooke and Jeffrey. We would be the funnest vet clinic. Four people calling, hey! I know.

I'm like, why are you guys laughing? What is going on? Sorry. 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. Oh, yeah, Luke, right. Right. Girl, why are you lying to Luke?

Listen, guys, I mean, I made up a pretty bad lie just to get out of where I was. Oh, man. Luke was kind of on to you. He noticed that at the end of the day, you seem a little panicked. Yeah, I just couldn't wait to go i mean did he tell you what happened they're like 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 video which we thought sounded like a really fun date

yeah well listen initially i was completely game but did he tell you anything about his grandparents his grandparents? His grandparents? No. Yeah. What do they have to do with this? Does he live with them or something? 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? Oh. And 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 i feel like that's i agree like does he take care of his grandparents is that why he lives with them he doesn't live with them we were just visiting oh never mind i take it back it sounds like they didn't even know that you guys were coming. No. So here's the thing. He demands his grandmother to make a cake.

Wait, what? Whoa. I thought you two made the cake. 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 thought, so horrible. He's like, grandma, feed us.

Yeah. That is messed up. Oh, that's bad. But here's the thing. I think they're like in their 90s. It's not like they, feed us. Yeah. That is messed up. Oh, that's bad. 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.

She's like, I can't grip the spoon. My arthritis hurts. I wanted to help. I mean, I even offered. But he kept interrupting and going, no, no, no. Let her do it. She needs to stay active. Stop it.

No, he didn't. So basically. Yes, he did. Did Grandma at least seem happy to make a nice little cake for her grandson? Is there like CPS for grandparents that we can call? I'm worried about these old people. GPS. GPS.

You know what it is? 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. Yeah. 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 i melted like i was like oh my god maybe he just meant eat the cake no he's like and then you can stay in the kitchen where you belong you know the hell is going on? This guy sucks, man. 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. Are you serious? I'm sorry you have to talk to him.

Luke, you there? It wasn't good. When we went through all of that, you're putting me through more and more torture. We didn't know. Luke, talk to your future baby mama. No, Jeff. He wants to start a family. Yeah, what the hell, Luke?

Okay, I like... The thing is, I knew my grandma was going to have the stuff for the cake. Yeah. So does the grocery store, Luke. That's where you go to get it. That's the part that you're the most upset about? What about the bun in the oven?

Yeah, I'm upset about all of it. Yeah, we part that you're the most upset about? What about the bun in the oven? Yeah, I'm upset about all of it. Yeah, we're just starting from the beginning. Okay. Yeah. Okay, I think that was a sweet thing to say. You know, it means I'm like looking into the future. 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... You don't say that on the first date. Are you serious? I'm like petrified of you and getting anything put in my oven. Okay, so I guess the second date maybe it would have been a better move.

You could date me for five years. Don't do that. I'm sorry. I have two kids with my husband and if he did that to me, I'd still be grossed out. Don't touch my oven. Oh my God. My kitchen is closed right now. I don't even really know you. Thank you. Wow. Guy just wants a family. Like, have you never talked to a

woman before? Like, do you not know? I, look, I just, okay. Maybe that wasn't the smartest thing to say. Not maybe, it wasn't. I was trying to be cute or sweet, but also... Oh, no. And then, oh, your grandparents are like 90-something years old, and you're over there cracking whips and making her do all these things.

I know. It's a lot. I did not crack a whip. It was a dish towel. It's different. Oh, my God. I'm done? We see why now.

We didn't know any of this. Well, here's the thing. My grandmother loves baking cake. She was a baker when she was younger. Oh. Yeah. And by the way, last time I tried to help her bake a cake by cracking an egg, she slapped my hand with a frigging wooden spoon.

Oh. Are you sure it's not because you said something rude at the same time? I mean, you didn't say you wanted to put a bun in your grandma's oven, did you? Oh, my God. To help her with the cooking because she can't bend down to reach the oven. Talking about cinnamon rolls. It's a back pain issue. That's what I mean.

That oven doesn't work anymore. Well, okay, at this point, let's just get to the end of this and let me ask Ivy, would you? Are we gonna do that? You can't get any worse than what happened on the first date so i didn't say that on the second day there's nowhere to go but up and we'd like to pay for it no thank you yeah that was polite that was a lot more i did not see

this coming i want to say hell no but i'll be nice no thank, thank you. Okay. Okay. All right. Luke? Luke, you can't be shocked with that. Yeah, I guess so. Would have been nice to know about the grandparents before we called Ivy and had that sprung on us. Yeah, totally. Or the bun in the oven line. I think those things were important. You know, like, we did a little TikTok challenge. We bonded over it.

And she lied about her dog to get out of it. Bonded. We bonded. Still. And she lied about her dog to get out of it. Bonded. We bond. Still trying to make her the villain. 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. Yay! She needs to stay active.

I don't feel so. Feel bad about that. I mean, I'd eat it. Okay, yeah. We'll eat it, Brooke. No cake for you. Your grandpa built us a shed, too. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

I think that was actually kind of our fault that we didn't get the second date there. What? What are you talking? I'm not taking blame for that. You can go with your fault, not my fault. 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? It was assumed.

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. You don't ask, did you go to your grandparents' house and force your 90-year-old grandmother to make the cake? It's just not a common question. That's absolutely the first question

we should have thought of. Now what happened? Not only is there egg in the bowl, there's egg on all of our faces. And buns in ovens all over the place. God, there better not be. Better go pee on something and make sure.

Yeah, let's all get tested. So no second date there. Yeah, I don't think he's going to get a second date in the future anytime soon either. 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. I have a bad feeling next time someone's like, oh, well, we ate a casserole. We're going to be like, no, we know what happened. Grandma baked it, didn't it? Because we're better investigators.

Yes, we are. We're all better now. So email us if you ever want to get a second date update. We'll call the person who isn't calling you back. We're so done with New Year, New You.
