Speaker 1: All right, we did it. We all made it to Friday.
Speaker 1: That feels good, doesn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you for being here with Brooke and Jeffrey.
Speaker 3: And this is the official Second Date podcast, So I
Speaker 3: found the real thing right from the source.
Speaker 1: What are listeners wanting us to read? Alexis well Adwa said.
Speaker 4: I was commenting on a past second date and said,
Speaker 4: I don't get girls. If you don't like a guy,
Speaker 4: don't give him your contact, don't entertain him. And if
Speaker 4: you do and you don't like him, tell him what's
Speaker 4: this ghosting thing? More times, these guys have no social cues,
Speaker 4: and all the guys do do this to girls too.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, life is so effing simple. What the
Speaker 5: hell did you hear about guys lying to girls all
Speaker 5: the time? And then and then it happens that you,
Speaker 5: I mean, everybody does it.
Speaker 3: I feel like I could teach a whole generation on
Speaker 3: how to say no, thank you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, But then once you teach you, that makes me
Speaker 4: want to do the opposite and.
Speaker 5: Totally all right.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if we fix the problem, but
Speaker 3: we probably made it worse with this second date for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why didn't you listen?
Speaker 2: Brooke?
Speaker 6: And Jeffrey in the morning Second Date updates.
Speaker 5: Have you ever been on the way to a date
Speaker 5: and had something happen that almost seems unbelievable and you
Speaker 5: have to tell your date, Hey, sorry that I'm late,
Speaker 5: but a cobra bit me on the subway ride over
Speaker 5: and I had to have a homeless guy suck out
Speaker 5: the poison. Had that exact story happened to me several times? Actually,
Speaker 5: lots of subway snakes around here lately. The city really.
Speaker 1: Should do something not Google search that term.
Speaker 5: I bring it up because one of our listeners said
Speaker 5: he had a crazy thing happened to him on the
Speaker 5: way to his date, and he's pretty sure it's the
Speaker 5: reason he's not getting a call back. His name is Ted,
Speaker 5: So Ted, welcome to the show man.
Speaker 2: Thank you guys man. How are you doing today?
Speaker 1: Do we need to suck out any venom out of
Speaker 1: like a fire or anything.
Speaker 5: She's very eager to do it.
Speaker 2: So, no poison.
Speaker 5: Different situation that happened on the way to your date?
Speaker 5: What was it?
Speaker 2: It's completely unbelievable. It's a little long, so let me
Speaker 2: just jump right into it. I was going to go
Speaker 2: on a date with a girl named Amy. We met
Speaker 2: online like you typically do nowadays, and we've been talking
Speaker 2: for a while. I mean, we had great conversation. We
Speaker 2: really liked each other.
Speaker 1: So you're excited.
Speaker 2: You're looking to so pumped up for this date. So
Speaker 2: I'm driving there and I get a call from my
Speaker 2: mother and she said, Honey, I'm stuck. I'm stranding downtown.
Speaker 2: My tire is blown and I don't have uber or
Speaker 2: any of those stuff like that, So could you come
Speaker 2: get me? So you told.
Speaker 1: Us no, I.
Speaker 2: Want to stay in the will.
Speaker 5: But you're on the way to a date though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's my mother. What kind of guy would
Speaker 2: I be if I left my mom's randed?
Speaker 3: It's true? Okay, So is it gonna make you super late?
Speaker 3: Did you call your date.
Speaker 1: And let her know?
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing. Me and Amy had been planning
Speaker 2: his date for weeks and I did not want to
Speaker 2: mess this up. So I had a choice to make.
Speaker 2: So I could just pick my mom up and drop
Speaker 2: her home and be really late and missed out on
Speaker 2: this date today. Or I could take mom with me.
Speaker 1: Oh, we put that in the option.
Speaker 5: I should not be in the option.
Speaker 1: Do I feel like he went with option B?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Laughing. There we go.
Speaker 1: Let us know.
Speaker 2: So here's what happened. Man, I have to take my
Speaker 2: mom with me. It's gonna sound bad, but I made
Speaker 2: my mom sit at another table.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh yeah, that's not bad.
Speaker 5: You leave her in the car.
Speaker 1: It's like dogs. You can't do that.
Speaker 5: Crack the window from crack the window, turn on the
Speaker 5: You actually brought her into the restaurant with you.
Speaker 2: I did, but we were like separate. So when I
Speaker 2: met Amy at the restaurant, she didn't see that I
Speaker 2: was with my mom, So I said, Mom, sit another table.
Speaker 2: My mom agreed. She understood what was going on.
Speaker 3: But did it change like how you acted knowing that
Speaker 3: your mom could.
Speaker 5: See you in the room?
Speaker 2: Oh totally. And Amy can see that I'm completely distracted,
Speaker 2: Like she could see something off my mind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she probably thought you were checking out some older
Speaker 3: woman as you're looking.
Speaker 2: Back on my God. Luckily she didn't think that. But
Speaker 2: she just came out and said, hey, is something Okay,
Speaker 2: you look a little distracted.
Speaker 5: Okay, you can tell you were off, and bro, she
Speaker 5: doesn't know you, so that's a bad sign, Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're off.
Speaker 1: Did you confess?
Speaker 2: So I didn't want to lie to her, because we're
Speaker 2: just getting to know one another at all. So I
Speaker 2: just wanted to be honest at that point, and I
Speaker 2: was like, listen, this is gonna sound crazy. I heard
Speaker 2: of that. I said, my mom's here at the restaurant
Speaker 2: and I told her what happened, and she thought that
Speaker 2: was really sweet, Like you picked your mom up.
Speaker 3: Funny you and you were conscious about it.
Speaker 1: It's not like you sat down with your mom. I
Speaker 1: love it.
Speaker 2: I love it. So so what happens, Well, what do
Speaker 2: you expect? Amy's a nice girl. So she went over
Speaker 2: and said, Hi, I'm Amy.
Speaker 1: Loves Amy.
Speaker 3: We had to get Amy back on the phone just
Speaker 3: for mommy.
Speaker 2: She does because Amy invited my mom to come back
Speaker 2: to our table and we ended up having dinner together.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 5: Now I am cringing over here. Everybody else thinks this
Speaker 5: is like the sweetest story ever. If my mom was
Speaker 5: on a first date with me, it doesn't matter. If
Speaker 5: it was an emergency, a sweet story, that would be
Speaker 5: the end of the romance. Are you supposed to flirt
Speaker 5: in front of your mom?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I know this is gonna sound nuts, but my mom
Speaker 2: a perfect wingman. Oh my god, she made me sound
Speaker 2: to me, I wanted to date me, Oh.
Speaker 3: Mom, but okay, so Ma can get a little over
Speaker 3: the top though. Did she ask your date questions or
Speaker 3: did it turn into like a presentation about you, mom?
Speaker 5: She may steal your date.
Speaker 2: It turned into like a power point about me and
Speaker 2: how great her son is.
Speaker 5: You think that he dresses well? You should see him kiss.
Speaker 4: Do you feel like there's an okay amount of time
Speaker 4: with mom, Like she could come over for a little bit,
Speaker 4: but not like hours.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it could be all wholesome and zero romance exactly.
Speaker 5: So I mean, how do you think it went? Overall?
Speaker 2: We ended up having a really great time. At the
Speaker 2: end of the day, I actually hug Amy. I don't
Speaker 2: want to kiss her or make out with her in
Speaker 2: front of my mother. Yeah it was nice, and Amy
Speaker 2: said she had a great time. But then I get
Speaker 2: a text the next day out of nowhere. She says,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I didn't really feel a romantic spark, And
Speaker 2: I'm like, of course she didn't feel a romantic spark.
Speaker 2: I was go on a date with you and my
Speaker 2: mother like that weird?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you feel like you didn't get a fair shot
Speaker 3: to show her the romantic spark.
Speaker 2: Serious, I didn't. If she gives me another chance, I
Speaker 2: really think I can knocket out of the park.
Speaker 5: Okay, I like this, Yeah, thank you Crazy. So we're
Speaker 5: gonna at least attempt to get you a second date here.
Speaker 5: Maybe your mom needs to show up on all of
Speaker 5: your break down more often less often.
Speaker 3: I guess it didn't work out well.
Speaker 5: It didn't work for him, but let's try and come
Speaker 5: back and get you your second date. Update with Annie
Speaker 5: right after this.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: Second date updates. Stay tuned to TLC The Learning Channel.
Speaker 5: Let's Learn. Coming up next, Cake Horse and at nine
Speaker 5: Super Quick Weddings, followed by the Divorce Horse. You know
Speaker 5: what's missing from that lineup is the new TLC dating
Speaker 5: show Wing Moms, premiering Wednesdays at nine Central, eight Pacific.
Speaker 3: I definitely watched So with your Mom, Jeff watch out.
Speaker 5: Watching that show because if you missed the first part.
Speaker 5: Real quick our listener Ted had to bring his mom
Speaker 5: along on his first date because she got stranded with
Speaker 5: a blown tire situation. Mom ends up eating dinner with
Speaker 5: Ted and his date Amy. Afterwards, he gets a text
Speaker 5: from Amy saying she had a nice time but just
Speaker 5: didn't feel the romantic spark there.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think it's really important to note that his date,
Speaker 3: Amy is the one that invited the mom over to.
Speaker 1: The table, like that makes a huge difference.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know that makes it romantic. But the fact
Speaker 5: that she said she didn't feel the romantic spark that sucks.
Speaker 5: But I would be worried if she said she did
Speaker 5: feel the romantic spark the mom there. Ted would like
Speaker 5: to do a redo without his mother there talking him
Speaker 5: up and tucking his napkin into his shirt and wiping
Speaker 5: ketchup off of his face. That's why he's here for
Speaker 5: a second chance, because he knows that really happened, didn't it.
Speaker 2: It did not, It didn't go that far.
Speaker 3: Hey, have you told your mom that Amy said that
Speaker 3: it's not gonna work.
Speaker 1: Is your mom disappointed? She's kind of invested, Yeah, totally,
Speaker 1: she was on the date.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's a little disappointed to a back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, please don't involve your mom this much in your
Speaker 5: dating life. I don't know why everybody wants the mom
Speaker 5: to be so involved.
Speaker 4: You know, I wonder we just know she will insert
Speaker 4: herself in the situation.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, she sounds adorable.
Speaker 5: Really, it's projecting about how our relationship with our moms are.
Speaker 5: All Right, well, let's give this a shot. I'm gonna
Speaker 5: call Amy right now. Hello, Hi, is this Amy?
Speaker 6: This is Amy.
Speaker 5: Hey. I'm sorry to bother you, but you're on the
Speaker 5: radio right now. No, yeah, I know. It's kind of
Speaker 5: we're We're called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning and
Speaker 5: we're doing this segment. It's called a second Date Update.
Speaker 5: One of our listeners named Ted reached out to us
Speaker 5: because he went on a date with you, and I
Speaker 5: would like to see you again.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really cute. There's a really cute reason
Speaker 1: he really likes you.
Speaker 5: Hold on, Brooke, coming on a little strong here, because well, yes,
Speaker 5: because we know we know Amy that you sent him
Speaker 5: a text saying that you're not interested.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know this is a lot that I'm telling
Speaker 5: you right now, but I just want to get it
Speaker 5: out of the way. Because we heard the story from Ted.
Speaker 5: He feels bad about the way that the night played
Speaker 5: out with his mom being there. He's worried that that
Speaker 5: may have been the reason that the romantic spark didn't happen.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so well, uh, this is You're right this is.
Speaker 5: A lot he did say.
Speaker 3: I mean, he really applauded how cool you were, how
Speaker 3: you're the one that invited the mom over, like you
Speaker 3: sounded like super flexible that night, super understanding, which was
Speaker 3: totally awesome.
Speaker 6: Well thanks, I mean, I'll make of a jerk. Oh,
Speaker 6: your mom's here, We'll just let us sit in the
Speaker 6: corner and eat soup and.
Speaker 1: Here at us. I think a lot of people would
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a nice night and it was really.
Speaker 5: Cool and right, but you can you can understand why
Speaker 5: there wouldn't be a romantic spark happening with his mother
Speaker 5: sitting directly next to you.
Speaker 1: It wasn't able to put his moves on.
Speaker 5: You know, like that was the text that you sent
Speaker 5: to him, that you didn't feel the spark. We're not
Speaker 5: sure if that's really fair, though, you'd like a chance
Speaker 5: to like do it over again without mom.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, so here's the thing. Yeah, there wasn't a
Speaker 6: I didn't feel it romantic chemistry or you know, that spark.
Speaker 6: But that didn't mean that I didn't ever want to
Speaker 6: talk to him again. But then I get this text
Speaker 6: from a number I didn't recognize, and it says you
Speaker 6: should really date my son?
Speaker 5: Oh wait, text you?
Speaker 1: Did you get that text?
Speaker 3: Before?
Speaker 1: After you texted about the romantic spark?
Speaker 6: After?
Speaker 5: After?
Speaker 3: Oh okay, so he went and are you thinking? He
Speaker 3: went and talked to his mom and then the mom
Speaker 3: stepped in.
Speaker 6: I wasn't true at the time, but then they just
Speaker 6: kept coming.
Speaker 1: And oh god, what else did she say?
Speaker 6: It turned into a complete presentation, her telling him to
Speaker 6: me and after like turn texts. I guess I wasn't
Speaker 6: giving her the answer that she wanted because she called me.
Speaker 5: Yeah what wait wait a second, did you text her
Speaker 5: something like how what? Okay, now this is sounding more
Speaker 5: like my mom.
Speaker 1: You're not wrong. He is going to be mortified.
Speaker 5: Okay. Yeah, Well, because the part of this that you
Speaker 5: don't know, Amy, is that Ted is actually listening to
Speaker 5: this phone call right now. He's waiting on the other
Speaker 5: line wanting to talk to you. I hope his mom isn't.
Speaker 1: I'm dying on the inside for Ted right now.
Speaker 6: I don't even know it.
Speaker 2: Did he put her up to it?
Speaker 5: Or yeah, well he's there, I think are you there?
Speaker 2: Yes, I am here. I am dying inside. I am
Speaker 2: so embarrassed. Oh, I had no idea that my mom
Speaker 2: was texting you.
Speaker 5: Did you talk to your mom that you got the
Speaker 5: text from Amy saying that she wasn't interested.
Speaker 2: I'm sure I mentioned it, but I didn't go into
Speaker 2: detail about it. I mean, oh my god, I know
Speaker 2: my mom. Oh my gosh, she's done this before. My mom.
Speaker 2: I'm on her I'm on her cell phone plan, so
Speaker 2: she has gotten access to my text messages before.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, when she can text.
Speaker 1: Cell phone plan. We shame you for it all the time.
Speaker 2: Oh don't.
Speaker 3: They're just jealous and your reading your text.
Speaker 2: Apparently she did because I I never gave her Amy's
Speaker 2: phone numbers, so that's the only way she'd be able
Speaker 2: to talk to her.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, so Amy, Amy tell his mom to
Speaker 5: reach out to you. She did that totally on her own.
Speaker 2: Amy. I am so sorry that my mom, whold likes
Speaker 2: to butt her nose into my business from time to time,
Speaker 2: was over zealous and reached out to you. It was
Speaker 2: uncalled for and it was wrong. I'm so sorry, Amy, ted.
Speaker 6: Didn't she she called me a bitch. Why aren't you
Speaker 6: holizing for that?
Speaker 2: Of course, I'm sorry my mother did that. You are
Speaker 2: the complete opposite of a You are awesome. Amy. The
Speaker 2: bottom line, my mom just wants the best for me. Ultimately. Yes,
Speaker 2: did she go too far? Absolutely, Sometimes she gets fired
Speaker 2: up and she loses it and goes too far. Like
Speaker 2: you'll get used to it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm kind of going to gives the appart.
Speaker 5: Someone tells you that you're gonna get used to somebody's
Speaker 5: That's the thing. Most women don't get along with their
Speaker 5: boyfriend's mothers brook.
Speaker 1: I get along with her.
Speaker 5: Well, you call each other the B word every once
Speaker 5: in a while, and not to each other but behind
Speaker 5: each other's by.
Speaker 3: It's like, I love my mother in law. I just
Speaker 3: need a full state separation.
Speaker 6: I mean it's I guess it's better to find out
Speaker 6: in advance what you're stepping into, true true, getting really
Speaker 6: involved with somebody else.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I do think the mom probably had really
Speaker 5: high hopes for you and Ted being a good couple,
Speaker 5: so she was just reacting to what happened. I think, yeah,
Speaker 5: you were the one who was on the mom's side
Speaker 5: and thought it was so cute at the start of this,
Speaker 5: and now college moms call people Okay, that's talk.
Speaker 1: I think that the good thing.
Speaker 3: I think that the good thing is is that this
Speaker 3: is not Ted's behavior, right, this is this is mom's behavior.
Speaker 3: Not in a relationship with Mom. You're in a relationship
Speaker 3: with Ted and with the mom.
Speaker 5: If she comes down at the Thanksgiving dinner table, I'm
Speaker 5: sure Mom would say I'm sorry for what she said,
Speaker 5: and you just have to meet up with him one
Speaker 5: more time. We'd love to pay for that second meet up,
Speaker 5: if you're open to it.
Speaker 6: Amy, I think everything is moving super fast.
Speaker 3: Okay, how about just yes to a date, no to Thanksgiving?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess if we can promise that Mom won't
Speaker 6: be with us in.
Speaker 2: No, she won't, she won't.
Speaker 5: No, no, no. Ted is leaving her on the side
Speaker 5: of the road with her flat tire. She's walking home.
Speaker 2: Ted is getting his mom triple a.
Speaker 5: Amy. I think he made a good choice there, giving
Speaker 5: him one more shot. Okay.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm so happy. Thank you guys, and thank you Amy.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to talk to you alone.
Speaker 1: To Amy.
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, I thought you were saying that about Alexis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, her too, Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 5: You think she was just being nice there at the
Speaker 5: end to get off the call, because we do so
Speaker 5: many of these where the person says yes, but then
Speaker 5: I don't know if they're actually.
Speaker 2: Going to go out. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think they'll go out again, but really yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: if the mom contacts her again, it's over.
Speaker 5: I just think this is always going to be in
Speaker 5: the back of her head. That is going to be
Speaker 5: the future with the mother. At some day it's going
Speaker 5: to come up again. How do you ever recover from
Speaker 5: you? You have to have an unbelievably amazing relationship with the dad.
Speaker 5: Ye balance friends with the father. He did seem like
Speaker 5: a really nice guy. So maybe his dad is just superman.
Speaker 1: His mom did something right. Yeah, raise a good guy.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 5: It worked out, she said, yes, and maybe it'll work
Speaker 5: out for you no matter who your parents are. Just
Speaker 5: email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling
Speaker 5: you back, and you can go check out all of
Speaker 5: our second Day podcast wherever you get yours at Brooke
Speaker 5: and Jeffrey
