Speaker 1: Second date, up date.
Speaker 2: Have you ever been on the way to a date
Speaker 2: and had something happen that almost seems unbelievable and you
Speaker 2: have to tell your date, Hey, sorry that I'm late,
Speaker 2: but a cobra bit me on the subway ride over
Speaker 2: and I had to have a homeless.
Speaker 1: Guy suck out the poison.
Speaker 2: Had that exact story happened to me several times? Actually,
Speaker 2: lots of subway snakes around here lately.
Speaker 1: The city really should do.
Speaker 3: Something about not Google search that term.
Speaker 2: I bring it up because one of our listeners said
Speaker 2: he had a crazy thing happened to him on the
Speaker 2: way to his date, and he's pretty sure it's the
Speaker 2: reason he's not getting a call back.
Speaker 1: His name is Ted, So Ted, welcome to the show man.
Speaker 4: Thank you, guys man. How are you doing today?
Speaker 5: Do we need to suck out any venom out of
Speaker 5: like a fire or anything.
Speaker 4: She's very eager to do it, So, no poison.
Speaker 1: Different situation that happened on the way to your date?
Speaker 1: What was it?
Speaker 4: It's completely unbelievable. It's a little long, so let me
Speaker 4: just jump right into it. I was going to go
Speaker 4: on a date with a girl named Amy. We met online,
Speaker 4: like you typically do nowadays. And we've been talking for
Speaker 4: a while. I mean, we had great conversation. We really
Speaker 4: liked each other.
Speaker 3: So you're excited, you're looking.
Speaker 4: To so pumped up for this date. So I'm driving
Speaker 4: there and I get a call from my mother and
Speaker 4: she said, Honey, I'm stuck. I'm stranding downtown. My tire
Speaker 4: is blown and I don't have uber or any of
Speaker 4: those stuff like that, So could you come get me?
Speaker 2: So you told us.
Speaker 4: No, I want to stay in the will.
Speaker 1: But you're on the way to a date.
Speaker 4: Though, Yes, but it's my mother. What kind of guy
Speaker 4: would I be if I left my mom's stranded?
Speaker 3: It's true? Okay, So is it gonna make you super late?
Speaker 3: Did you call your date and let her know?
Speaker 4: Well, that's the thing. Me and Amy had been planning
Speaker 4: this date for weeks and I did not want to
Speaker 4: mess this up. So I had a choice to make.
Speaker 4: So I could just pick my mom up and drop
Speaker 4: her home and be really late and missed out on
Speaker 4: this date. Or I could take mom with me.
Speaker 3: Oh, we put that in the option.
Speaker 1: That should not be in the option.
Speaker 3: Do I feel like you went with option B?
Speaker 6: Yeah, laughing, there we go.
Speaker 3: Let us know.
Speaker 4: So here's what happened. Man, I have to take my
Speaker 4: mom with me. It's gonna sound bad, but I made
Speaker 4: my mom sit at another table.
Speaker 3: Yes, oh yeah, that's not bad.
Speaker 1: You leave her in the car.
Speaker 3: It's like dogs. You can't do that.
Speaker 2: You crack the window for crack the window, turn on
Speaker 2: the AC. You actually brought her into the restaurant with you.
Speaker 4: I did, but we were like separate. So when I
Speaker 4: met Amy at the restaurant, she didn't see that I
Speaker 4: was with my mom, So I said, Mom, sit another table.
Speaker 4: My mom agreed. She understood what was going on.
Speaker 5: But did it change like how you acted knowing that
Speaker 5: your mom could see you in the room?
Speaker 4: Oh totally. And Amy can see that I'm completely distracted,
Speaker 4: Like she could see something off my mind.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she probably thought you were checking out some older
Speaker 5: woman as you're looking.
Speaker 4: Back on my God. Luckily she didn't think that. But
Speaker 4: she just came out and said, hey, is something Okay,
Speaker 4: you look a little distracted.
Speaker 2: Okay, you can tell you were off and bro, she
Speaker 2: doesn't know you, so that's a bad sign.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, did you confess?
Speaker 4: So I didn't want to lie to her because we're
Speaker 4: just getting to know one another at all. So I
Speaker 4: just wanted to be honest at that point, and I
Speaker 4: was like, listen, this is gonna sound crazy.
Speaker 3: I'm pard of that.
Speaker 4: I said, my mom's here at the restaurant and I
Speaker 4: told her what happened, and she thought that was really sweet,
Speaker 4: Like you picked your mom.
Speaker 5: Up, funny you and you were conscious about it.
Speaker 3: It's not like you sat down with your mom. I
Speaker 3: love it.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 4: So so what happens, Well, what do you expect? Amy's
Speaker 4: a nice girl. So she went over and said, Hi,
Speaker 4: I'm Amy loves Amy.
Speaker 5: We had to get Amy back on the phone just
Speaker 5: for mommy.
Speaker 4: She does because Amy invited my mom to come back
Speaker 4: to our table and we ended up having dinner together.
Speaker 7: I love it.
Speaker 1: Now I am cringing over here.
Speaker 2: Everybody else thinks of It's like the sweetest story ever.
Speaker 2: If my mom was on a first date with me,
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter if it was an emergency, a sweet
Speaker 2: story that would be the end of the romances. Are
Speaker 2: you supposed to flirt in front of your mom?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I know this is gonna sound nuts, but my mom
Speaker 4: the perfect wingman. Oh my god, she made me sound
Speaker 4: to me, I wanted to date me, oh.
Speaker 3: Mom, but okay, so get a little over the top though.
Speaker 5: Did she ask your date questions or did it turn
Speaker 5: into like a presentation about you, mom?
Speaker 1: She may steal your date.
Speaker 4: It turned into like a power point about me and
Speaker 4: how great her son is.
Speaker 2: You think that he dresses well? You should see him kiss.
Speaker 3: Do you feel like there's an okay amount of time
Speaker 3: with mom? Like she could come over for a little bit,
Speaker 3: but not like hours.
Speaker 1: It could be all wholesome and zero romance exactly. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you think it went? Overall?
Speaker 4: We ended up having a really great time. At the
Speaker 4: end of the day, I actually hug Amy. I don't
Speaker 4: want to kiss her or make out with her in
Speaker 4: front of my mother. Yeah it was nice, and Amy
Speaker 4: said she had a great time. But then I get
Speaker 4: a text the next day out of nowhere. She says,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I didn't really feel a romantic spark, and
Speaker 4: I'm like, of course she didn't feel a romantic spark.
Speaker 4: I was on a date with you, and my mother like, yeah, weird.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you feel like you didn't get a fair shot
Speaker 5: to show her the romantic spark.
Speaker 1: Serious, I didn't.
Speaker 4: If she gives me another chance, I really think I
Speaker 4: can knocket out of the park.
Speaker 2: Okay, I like this, Yeah, thank you, Crazy, We're gonna
Speaker 2: at least attempt to get you a second date here.
Speaker 2: Maybe your mom needs to show up on all of
Speaker 2: your break down more often less often.
Speaker 1: I guess it didn't work out.
Speaker 2: Well, but it didn't work for him, But let's try
Speaker 2: and come back and get you your second date. Update
Speaker 2: with any right after this thank you second date update.

Speaker 2: new TLC dating show Wing Moms, premiering Wednesdays at nine Central,
Speaker 2: eight Pacific.
Speaker 1: I definitely watched the episode.
Speaker 3: Your Mom, Jeff watch.
Speaker 2: Out held Hands while watching that show, because if you
Speaker 2: missed the first part. Real quick our listener Ted had
Speaker 2: to bring his mom along on his first date because
Speaker 2: she got stranded with a blown.
Speaker 1: Tire emergency situation.
Speaker 2: Mom ends up eating dinner with Ted and his date Amy. Afterwards,
Speaker 2: he gets a text from Amy saying she had a
Speaker 2: nice time but just didn't feel the romantic spark there.
Speaker 5: Okay, I think it's really important to note that his date,
Speaker 5: Amy is the one that invited the mom over to
Speaker 5: the table, like that makes a huge difference.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that makes it romantic, you're but the
Speaker 2: fact that she said she didn't feel a romantic spark
Speaker 2: that sucks. But I would be worried if she said
Speaker 2: she did feel the romantic spark with the mom there.
Speaker 2: That's why Ted would like to do a redo without
Speaker 2: his mother there talking him up and tucking his napkin
Speaker 2: into his shirt and wiping the ketchup off.
Speaker 1: Of his face.
Speaker 2: That's why he's here for a second chance, because he
Speaker 2: knows that really happened, didn't it.
Speaker 4: Ted, It did not. It didn't go that far.
Speaker 5: Hey, have you told your mom that Amy said that
Speaker 5: it's not gonna work?
Speaker 3: Is your mom disappointed?
Speaker 1: She's kind of invested.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't alle she was.
Speaker 4: On the date. Yeah, she's a little disappointed too.
Speaker 5: Back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, please don't involve your mom this much in your
Speaker 2: dating life. I don't know why everybody wants the mom
Speaker 2: to be so involved, you.
Speaker 3: Know, I wonder you just know she will insert herself
Speaker 3: in the situation. Okay, she sounds adorable.
Speaker 2: Really, it's projecting about how our relationship with our moms are.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's give this a shot. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: call Amy right now. Hello, Hi, is this Amy?
Speaker 7: This is Amy.
Speaker 1: Hey.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to bother you, but you're on the radio
Speaker 2: right now. No, yeah, I know. It's kind of weird.
Speaker 2: We're called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning and we're
Speaker 2: doing this segment. It's called a second Date Update. One
Speaker 2: of our listeners named Ted reached out to us because
Speaker 2: he went on a date with you, and I would
Speaker 2: like to see you again.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's really cute.
Speaker 5: There's a really cute reason he really likes you.
Speaker 2: Hold on, Brooke, coming on a little strong here, because well, yes,
Speaker 2: because we know we know Amy that you sent him
Speaker 2: a text saying that you're not interested.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know this is a lot.
Speaker 2: That I'm telling you right now, but I just want
Speaker 2: to get it out of the way because we heard
Speaker 2: the story from Ted. He feels bad about the way
Speaker 2: that the night played out with his mom being there.
Speaker 2: He's worried that that may have been the reason that
Speaker 2: the romantic spark didn't happen.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so well, uh, this is You're right, this is
Speaker 7: a lot.
Speaker 5: He did say, I mean, he really applauded how cool
Speaker 5: you were, how you're the one that invited the mom over,
Speaker 5: Like you sounded like super flexible that night, super understanding,
Speaker 5: which was totally awesome.
Speaker 7: Oh thanks, I mean I'll make of a jerk. Oh
Speaker 7: your mom's here. We'll just let us sit in the
Speaker 7: corner and eat soup and you're at us.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people would do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 6: A nice night and it was really cool and right,
Speaker 6: but you can you can understand why there wouldn't be
Speaker 6: a romantic spark happening with his mother sitting directly next
Speaker 6: to you.
Speaker 3: It wasn't able to put his moves on, you.
Speaker 2: Know, Like that was the text that you sent to him,
Speaker 2: that you didn't feel the spark. We're not sure if
Speaker 2: that's really fair, though, you'd like a chance to like
Speaker 2: do it over again without mom.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, so here's the thing. Yeah, there wasn't a
Speaker 7: I didn't feel it romantic chemistry or you know, that spark.
Speaker 7: But that didn't mean that I didn't ever want to
Speaker 7: talk to him again. But then I get this text
Speaker 7: from a number I didn't recognize, and it says you
Speaker 7: should really ate my son.
Speaker 1: Wait, mom, text.
Speaker 3: Did you get that text before? After you texted about
Speaker 3: the romantic spark?
Speaker 4: After?
Speaker 3: After?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 5: Okay, so he went and are you thinking he went
Speaker 5: and talked to his mom and then the mom stepped in.
Speaker 7: I wasn't true at the time, but then they just
Speaker 7: kept coming.
Speaker 3: And oh god, what else did she say?
Speaker 7: It turned into a complete presentation, her telling him to
Speaker 7: me and after like turn texts. I guess I wasn't
Speaker 7: giving her the answer that she wanted because she called me.
Speaker 6: Yeah what wait to teck In?
Speaker 1: Did you text that?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: How okay? Now this is sounding more like my mom.
Speaker 3: You're not wrong. He is going to be mortified.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, Well, because the part of this that you
Speaker 2: don't know, Amy is that Ted is actually listening to
Speaker 2: this phone call right now.
Speaker 1: He's waiting on the other line wanting to talk to you, isn't.
Speaker 3: I'm dying on the inside for Ted right now.
Speaker 5: I don't even know it.
Speaker 4: Did he put her up to it?
Speaker 1: Or yeah, well he's there, I think Are you there?
Speaker 4: Yes, I am here. I am dying inside. I am
Speaker 4: so embarrassed. Oh, I had no idea that my mom
Speaker 4: was texting you.
Speaker 2: Did you talk to your mom that you got the
Speaker 2: text from Amy saying that she wasn't interested.
Speaker 4: I'm sure I mentioned it, but I didn't go into
Speaker 4: detail about it. I mean, oh my god, I know
Speaker 4: my mom. Oh my gosh, she's done this before. My mom.
Speaker 4: I'm on her I'm on her cell phone plan, so
Speaker 4: she has like gotten access to my text messages before.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, she can you text.
Speaker 3: Phone plan? There is as we shame you for it
Speaker 3: all the time.
Speaker 5: Oh no, they're just jealous and your's reading your text.
Speaker 4: Apparently she did because I never gave her Amy's phone numbers,
Speaker 4: so that's the only way she'd be able to talk
Speaker 4: to her.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so Amy, Amy, Ted didn't tell this
Speaker 2: mom to reach out to you.
Speaker 1: She did that totally on her own.
Speaker 4: Amy. I am so sorry that my mom, who likes
Speaker 4: to butt her nose into my business from time to time,
Speaker 4: was over zealous and reached out to you. It was
Speaker 4: uncalled for and it was wrong. I'm so sorry, Amy, Ted.
Speaker 7: Didn't she she called me a bitch.
Speaker 6: Why aren't you apologizing for that?
Speaker 4: Of course, I'm sorry my mother did that. You are
Speaker 4: the complete opposite of a b You are awesome, Amy.
Speaker 4: The bottom line, my mom just wants the best for me. Ultimately, Yes,
Speaker 4: did she go too far? Absolutely, Sometimes she gets fired
Speaker 4: up and she loses it and goes too far, like
Speaker 4: you'll get used to it.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm kind of going to gives the.
Speaker 1: Tells you that you're gonna get used to somebody's That's
Speaker 1: the thing.
Speaker 2: Most women don't get along with their boyfriend's mothers.
Speaker 1: Brook.
Speaker 5: I get along with her well, but you don't.
Speaker 1: Call each other the B word every once in a while,
Speaker 1: and not to each other but behind each other's by, Like.
Speaker 3: I love my mother in law. I just need a
Speaker 3: full state separation.
Speaker 7: I mean it's I guess it's better to find out
Speaker 7: in advance what you're stepping into getting really involved with
Speaker 7: somebody else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I do think the mom probably had really
Speaker 2: high hopes for you and Ted being a good couple,
Speaker 2: so she was just reacting to what happened.
Speaker 5: I think you.
Speaker 2: Were the one who was on the mom's side and
Speaker 2: thought it was so cute at the start of this,
Speaker 2: and now you're college moms call people, Okay, that's talk.
Speaker 3: I think that the good thing.
Speaker 5: I think that the good thing is is that this
Speaker 5: 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.
Speaker 1: And if you're going to deal.
Speaker 2: With the mom, if she comes back at the Thanksgiving
Speaker 2: dinner table, I'm sure Mom would say I'm sorry for
Speaker 2: what she said and you just have to.
Speaker 1: Meet up with him one more time.
Speaker 2: We'd love to pay for that second meet up if
Speaker 2: you're open to it, Amy.
Speaker 7: I think everything is moving super fast.
Speaker 5: Okay, how about just yes to a date, not to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess if we can promise that Mom won't
Speaker 7: be with us.
Speaker 4: In no, she won't, she.
Speaker 2: Won't, No, no, no, Ted is leaving her on the
Speaker 2: side of the road with her flat tire and that stuff.
Speaker 1: She's walking home.
Speaker 4: Ted is getting his mom triple a.
Speaker 2: Amy, I think he made a good chow there, giving
Speaker 2: him one more shot.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: Oh I'm so happy. Thank you guys, and thank you Amy.
Speaker 4: I can't wait to talk to you alone.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I thought you were saying that about Alexis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, her too. It's looking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: You think she was just being nice there at the
Speaker 2: end to get off the call, because we do so
Speaker 2: many of these where the person says yes, but then
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're actually going to go out.
Speaker 4: 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 2: I just think this is always going to be in
Speaker 2: the back of her head. That is going to be
Speaker 2: the future with the mother. At some day it's going
Speaker 2: to come up again. How do you ever recover from
Speaker 2: you? You have to have an unbelievably amazing relationship with the dad,
Speaker 2: balance friends with the father. He did seem like a
Speaker 2: really nice guy, So maybe his dad is just superman.
Speaker 3: His mom did something right. Yeah, raise a good guy.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 2: It worked out, she said, yes, and maybe it'll work
Speaker 2: out for you no matter who your parents are.
Speaker 1: Just email the show.
Speaker 2: We'll call that person who's not calling you back, and
Speaker 2: you can go check out all of our second Day
Speaker 2: podcast wherever you get yours at Brook and Jeffrey
