You're going to hear what went down in just a minute, but first comments. What do you see, Alexis? Yeah, Jasmine Graham said, I listen to the show so much. I've started a dream of second date updates. I think that means that you're fluent in second date

updates. I think that that's the first sign to fluency. So welcome to it. All right. Dream about this one. It starts right now. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. Back in your dating heyday, or as you sometimes call it, your revolving door years, safe to say you had some interesting dates and relationships that ended in, like, bizarre ways. Okay. But have you ever started a date with one person and then ended it with a completely different one? I would take talent I don't have. Okay. Family reunions do not count, by the way.

Gross, Jack. You're so gross. No, I only ask because apparently that's what happened to our list. listener Ethan, who has reached out requesting our help today. Ethan, welcome to the show, ma'am. Hey, how are you? Oh, man. How do you go from one date to another in the same night?

That's some gymnastics. Yeah, it was probably one of the most confusing and strange dates I've been on. Can I ask, are you interested in getting a hold of date number one or date number two? Yeah. The original person that I was going on the date with, that's who I'm interested. Interesting. Got it. I thought it be who you ended the night with.

Well, let's start at the beginning. Tell us what happened. Okay, so I matched with this girl named Brianna. From the initial chat, she was very friendly. She has a great smile. And so we set up the first date. Just go to this little bar and grill. I got there first.

So, you know, I got the table. Good, good, man. She showed up. She looked great. She compliments me, too. like my outfit and like, you know, it's very rare for the woman to give the compliment first. Dude, that never happens. Yeah, she's like, I love that shirt.

I'm like, you know, thank you. Wow. I feel like all the women listening should give more compliments. Well, I do if the guy's actually stylish. Oh, I mean, you've got to work for it. I'll compliment a stylish guy. Just saying. Man out there, everyone got to be stylish.

All right. Okay. So after the compliments, how did the dinner drinks? Like, what were we doing? Yeah, so, you know, we get a drink and we're chatting for a little. bit going really well getting to know each other you know better than I would say most other dates from the get-go so okay so you're feeling at this point okay this could be something yeah so waitress comes back and we're pouring our food order in and that's kind of when things you know start

to change here oh okay how so she like looks at her phone and she's like I hope you don't mind my mom's going to be stopping by what That's not the end of the world. I'd be like, oh, my God, I loved me your mom. On the first date? Hey, if she thinks that he's good enough to just have mom swing by and drop something off, I don't know. Why is mom stopping by?

I don't know. I thought she was joking at first, right? But a couple minutes later, mom shows up. What? Oh, no. She introduces herself. Her name's Debra, and then she pulled a chair up. No.

Oh, she's joining this date. No, she sits down with you? Yeah, like, and this is right when the wakers is at the table, and we're about to order of food. So the waitress not knowing anything, she asked the mom what she wants to eat too. Yes. And so the mom's like, oh, I'll just get something to go. That still means she's going to sit there and tell the to go order. Yeah. And it means you're paying for that, which is fine. You take care of the mom. Is this normal to Brianna? Can you tell? I don't really know. Like she doesn't seem like it's off-putting or anything and like, how is the mom? Was she pleasant? Was she weird?

Jose wants to know if she's single. Because he is interesting. Yeah, she was like super nice, very similar to Brianna, very talkative, approachable. That's good. Nothing out of the order. So at what point, you know, when does mom leave? That's the thing. So 50 minutes later, food comes out.

Brianna's eating and like, she looked at her phone and she's like, oh, I got to go. What? Who? Brianna or the mom? Brianna. No. Wait, what? She's like, I got to go.

She asks her mom to box the food up. She gives me a hug goodbye. She says, like, oh, we'll talk later. Right? No apology, no explanation. She said sorry, but she was just kind of like rushing out of there, like an emergency or she had to give to something. Oh, my gosh. Okay, so now at this point, Brianna has left the table, and it's just you and Brianna's mom having dinner together.

Yes. It has to be some type of test with, like, how her mom is reading you after she leaves or something. It does feel like this, like let the mom figure this. Yeah. No. That must have been so awkward for you. It was a little bit. What kind of saved me is the mom's to-go food arrived.

And so that kind of like signaled the end of, I guess, the date, if you will. How did the date end? Was there a kiss? No, is mom single? Is this like if me and my mom went out and we're like, all right, who gets, who's he a better fit for? That would be a crazy way to set somebody now. How did you and Brianna's mom leave things? So like we walked out together

Mom gives me a hug I'm just kind of like what just happened Yeah you got like strapped out But it sounds like you already passed the paternal interview portion Of the dating process So that's good news Wait Brianna hasn't reached out to you after this We've been texting here and there since that night

Okay Okay But not as much as I like Okay I see it feels different you're saying Yeah but the issue is that her mom is texting me more than Brianna. Wait, her mom has your phone number?

How did that happen? I guess Brianna gave it to her. Say what. She was just like, hey, great to meet you the other night. And then she asked me how's my days going. That sounds like a post date test. Thank you. That's like a follow-up.

And why wouldn't the mom, if the mom was going to text you, it would be on a group chat, right? Like, it would be with Brianna. It would be more appropriate for sure. Brooke sounds like she already knows exactly how things are going to go when her kids start there. You get that group chat going. Any boy, your daughter text, you're in that group chat going.

I'm just going to be in a disguise secretly from another table watching them. Oh, you don't actually be. That part crosses the line. That's normal. I see. So let's try to bring your dating life back to normal when we call Brianna here. I can't wait for this. And we'll ask her what's going on between the two of you when we do your second date update right after this.

Hold on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. If you missed it, Ethan just told us about one of the stranger first dates that we've ever covered on this show. I honestly can't believe he wants to see this woman again. It's pretty. Honestly. It's out there where he went out with a woman named Brianna.

And in the middle of it, Brianna's mom showed up to the restaurant. Okay. Which honestly, that part isn't even that mind-blowing. We've heard of it happening before. Totally. She stopped by. I know. We're like, that's cool.

We thought she was just going to get it to go order and go. Drop something off maybe. No, the head scratching part was where Brianna got a text mid-dinner, and she suddenly had to go, leaving Ethan to finish the rest of his date alone with Brianna's mom. And, and, Brianna's mom is the one that's been texting him more. Right. So the good news is the rest of the date went great.

He even got a mom hug at the end of it. So that's got to feel good, right, Ethan, that mom already approves of you dating her daughter. Yeah, that's one way to learn. I get it. Oh, my gosh. I'm just trying to be optimistic here. Can I ask?

How many texts a day do you think you're getting from Brianna's mom? Probably like four or five, like kind of, you know, throughout the day, you know? And how many are you getting from Brianna? Like one every like three or four days. Oh, man. Maybe we should just call the mom. Honestly, she's the one that's going to want to go out with you. The mom's trying to feel you out.

I don't want to talk to the mom. I want to talk to Brianna. No, moms love getting phone calls. calls from people. Just randomly. All they do. I don't know. This is a family that has wild boundaries. Or no boundaries. I'm really eager to talk to either one of them. So let's call a Brianna first. We'll see if she answers. Here we go.

Hello. Hey, is this Brianna? Yes, thank you. Hey, Brianna. We are so excited to talk to you. That's an understatement because you're on a radio show right now. It's called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Okay, look.

Yeah. Yeah, I know it might be a little unusual for you, but we do this segment. It's called the Second Date Update, and we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you went to dinner with recently. Okay. It's a guy named Ethan. What's the problem? I don't understand why you all are reaching out about him? Well, there's no problem.

It's just Ethan's a little bit confused about what's going on between the two of you right now, because he told us that he felt a really strong connection with you. He was so excited about you. Mm-hmm. Like, you're cute. You have a great smile, wonderful personality. He is so sweet. He looked really nice, too.

He looked very nice. Oh, yeah. He mentioned that you brought that up. And he said that he had a great time, not just on the app, but on the date with you. And then he said your mom showed up. Yeah. That was really nice. She happened to be in the area.

and she could stop by and order some food with her. Wait. Oh, because she happened to be, that wasn't, like, planned that she would swing by? Not necessarily planned. My mom, she just went through divorce and actually just moved to be closer to me. And so just go out, get to know the town and things like that. And when she was out and texting, I let her know where I was at the date with Ethan and thought it would be nice to stop by.

So that's the time. That was so nice of Ethan to buy her mom dinner. Yeah. What a good guy. Gentleman thing to do. We're trying to read between the lines here and maybe you just need to tell us. Like you weren't trying to set your mom up with Ethan, right? No, no, no, no.

Okay. All right. We didn't think so, but we just had to get that out there. I definitely thought so. Why did you? Speak for yourself. Why did you leave? Why did you have to leave in the middle of dinner?

Oh, I'll tell you that. Okay. Well, he was left with your mom. That's a pretty big plot point in the date night. Yeah. So when my mom got there, it just seemed like they were kind of having a fun conversation. And he seemed like a nice guy for her to be friends with. And I thought, you know, let the conversation continue with them.

And I could find something else to do. So I wouldn't feel like I was interrupting. What? Wait, what? Wait, you left so that your mom could hang out with you? Ethan? You're trying to get your mom a friend. Like a foodie.

In that case, you know, if she's friends and has more of a social life, then I can have more of a social life and get out and start dating more. Oh, wait. You're pounding your mom off onto a new person so that she can hang out and you can have independence. Not any person. Ethan, he's super nice. Oh, no.

The nice guys finished last thing is like screaming right here. Last nice guys finish first with moms I guess We'll see how nice he's still feeling When we get him on the phone Because he's actually on the other line right now Wanting to talk to you, Brianna Oh

So he heard that All of that? Yeah everything He knows the plan now Ethan are you there? Hello, hey Brianna Oh my god It's awkward

Hi, Ethan. Yeah, so that's what happened there? It wasn't intentional in any way, but it just kind of was on my part, To leave. Oh, wow. Yeah, but like the day was going well. We were viving on our date there, you know. We both had a great conversation. So why would you do that?

I know, we were. It's just, it was really nice to watch it blossom this. friendship blossoming with my mom and you. What? I don't think. There's no 20-something-year-old man that wants to be friends with somebody's mom. Please don't judge Ethan that way, okay? He can decide for himself.

That's true. And they have been texting a lot. She told me you guys have been talking like a couple of times throughout the day. Oh, Ethan. That is a good point. You are answering all of her mom's text messages. Mom or new BFF? What do you want to call?

Oh, yeah, what's her name in your phone? Brianna's mom. Oh, right. Okay, we haven't got to that. Okay, I mean, are we, do you want to be friends with Priyna's mom? Yeah, what do you want more? Friendship with Brianna's mom or a romance with Brianna?

Can't you have both? Are both not on the table? Yeah, I'm going to say no for me because I just can't see myself dating one of my mom's friends. No! No! No! You set them up. That is wild.

This is wild to me. Yeah, dude. To all of us, bro. You got friend zone to the mom. That's a new level. Ma'am zone. Breonna, you were so nice and kind and different than all the other girls I've gone on dates with.

And you know who's nicer than me? My mom. Where do you think I got it from? You were also going to cut, do some nice little day dates and things like that. You called it a date. Uh-oh. A day date. And you guys know what I mean.

Has it like a date like that? No, we understand. This is very, very sweet. It's like a play in. In a strange way. Ethan, I want to be very clear with you. My mom is not attracted to you in any way. Okay.

Okay, well, I felt a little harsh and unnecessary. No, that's not good news, Alexis. That's more of an insult than anything that's been said. She's like, by the way, don't try anything. So I called this radio station to try and set us up on the second date. and out of this I'm just getting that your mom doesn't even think I'm good looking Well

He's ugly but he's sweet Everybody in their friend group They need to have that ugly friend So that they look better He's not ugly Ethan You're hot and handsome I'm sure Brooke has never seen you Ethan

Hey I'm also a mom Yeah Maybe Brooke wants to be friends with you I'm good dude He dresses really well Oh, wow. Stylish guys get compliments.

And mom points. So we... What is the question, Jeff? I mean, normally the question would be, would you and Brianna like to go out again? But it sounds like that's already going to be a no. So instead, I'm going to ask, Ethan, would you like to go out on a friend date

to put putt putt putt golf with Brianna's mom? Wow. And I guess we would fund that. That'd be so cute. Well, I'm going to answer for my mom. I'm going to say a yes. Oh, wow. Now, Ethan, it's all up to you.

Oh, boy. I'm sorry, your mom is nice, but it's going to be a no for me. Oh, my God. I didn't see that coming. Friendship doesn't last sometimes. Darn it. Who's going to tell the mom? It's not going to be me.

Ethan, you're an adult. You need to go like this to her. No. Oh, God. Not the breakup tag. Ethan. What have you gotten yourself into? Oh, God.

What do you? you doing to me, Brianna? Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. New year, new goals, and in this economy, a better money plan is more necessary than ever. I am Matt, and I'm Joel.

Listen to broken play with Nav Green from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the I heart radio app, Apple Podcast, or whatever you get your podcast. Man, I feel like a failure. Why? Why, Jeff? Because he got just mom zoned on top of being friends owned by the girl? No, not even that. That's the first time I've asked for a date with someone's mom and they said no.

Oh. I always get yes on mom dates. That's true. Yeah. Is it me? Did I do something wrong? No. I feel like I could have done better.

It's not you. Remember, this wasn't a day they wanted friends for mom. I know, but I could have sold it more. Like, what if he was able to do laundry at her mom's house? And she showed him how to use those downy scented beads in his load. So suddenly, Jose wants to go over the mom's house. I was going to say. Everybody wants to be her friend now.

Yeah, that didn't work out. That was wild. No, that was maybe one of the craziest ones we've ever done. Her mom must be so obnoxious that she'll pawn him off on anybody. I don't need to be mean, but like. Yeah. She's just like, yeah, just take the date. I don't even care.

You need friends so bad, Mom. Get my mom out of here. Seriously. Next time we ask somebody if they want to hang out with somebody else's mom, we better get a yes. Okay. Okay.
