Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
All right, we did it. We all made it to Friday. That feels good, doesn't it? Yeah. Okay. Thank you for being here with Brooke and Jeffrey. And this is the official Second Date Podcast. So you found the real thing right from the source. What are listeners wanting us to read, Alexis? Well, Adwa said, was commenting on a past second date and said, I don't get girls.
If you don't like a guy, don't give him your contact. Don't entertain him. And if you do and you don't like him, tell him. What's this ghosting thing? More times these guys have no social cues. And all the guys who do this to girls too, oh my God, life is so effing simple. What the hell? Yeah, it's totally true. Dude, I'm with you.
You hear about guys lying to girls all the time, and then it happens to you. I mean, everybody does it is what I'm trying to say. I feel like I could teach a whole generation on how to say no, thank you. Yeah. But see, then once you teach me, that makes me want to do the opposite. No, totally. All right.
Well, I don't know if we fixed the problem, but we probably made it worse with this second date.
For sure made it worse. Yeah. Why didn't you listen? Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.
Have you ever been on the way to a date and had something happen that almost seems unbelievable? And you have to tell your date, hey, sorry that I'm late, but a cobra bit me on the subway ride over here.
What the?
And I had to have a homeless guy suck out the poison.
Oh, dang, he just offered? You're already cheating on me?

Chapter 2: What unexpected situation did Ted face on his way to the date?
Yes.
So pumped up for this date. So I'm driving there and I get a call from my mother and she said, honey, I'm stuck. I'm stranded downtown. My tire is blown and I don't have Uber or any of those stuff like that. So could you come get me? Okay. So you told her to kick rocks because that's just not okay.
Call AAA like the rest of us, mom. Come on, you gotta save your mom, guys.
No, I want to stay in the will.
Oh, okay.
But you're on the way to a date, though.
Yes, but it's my mother. What kind of guy would I be if I left my mom stranded?
It's true. OK, so is it going to make you super late? Did you call your date and let her know?
Well, that's the thing. Me and Amy had been planning this date for weeks, and I did not want to mess this up, so I had a choice to make. So I could just pick my mom up and drop her home and be really late and miss out on this date. Okay, that's option A. Or I could take mom with me.

Chapter 3: How did Ted's mother influence his date plans?
It's not like you sat down with your mom. I love it. I love it.
It's just circumstance. So what happens?
Well, what do you expect? Amy's a nice girl. So she went over and said, hi, I'm Amy.
Oh! So now mom loves Amy. We have to get Amy back on the phone just for mom. Did mom like Amy?
She does because Amy invited my mom to come back to our table and we ended up having dinner together. I love it now.
I am cringing over here. Everybody else thinks this is like the sweetest story ever. If my mom was on a first date with me, it doesn't matter if it was an emergency, a sweet story. That would be the end of the romance instantly.
It does depend on the mom.
How are you supposed to flirt in front of your mom? Yeah, no. I know this is going to sound nuts, but my mom, the perfect wingman.
Okay.

Chapter 4: What dilemma did Ted have to choose between during the date?
Yeah.
See, I feel like there's an okay amount of time with mom. Like she could come over for a little bit, but not like hours. So now it could be all wholesome and zero romance.
Exactly. So, I mean, how do you think it went overall? We ended up having a really great time.
At the end of the date, I actually hug Amy. I don't want to kiss her or make out with her in front of my mother. It was nice. And Amy said she had a great time. But then I get a text the next day and out of nowhere she says, I'm sorry, I didn't really feel a romantic spark. How could you? And I'm like, of course she didn't feel a romantic spark. I was on a date with you and my mother.
Like, that's weird.
You feel like you didn't get a fair shot to show her the romantic spark.
I didn't. If she gives me another chance, I really think I can knock it out of the park.
Okay.
All right, well, we have your back.

Chapter 5: What was Ted's approach to introducing his mom to his date?
He'd hold hands while watching that show. Because if you missed the first part, real quick, our listener Ted had to bring his mom along on his first date because she got stranded with a blown tire.
Emergency situation.
Mom ends up eating dinner with Ted and his date Amy. Afterwards, he gets a text from Amy saying she had a nice time, but just didn't feel the romantic spark there.
Okay, I think it's really important to note that his date Amy is the one that invited the mom over to the table. Like that makes a huge difference. Yeah, he didn't surprise her.
Yeah, no, that makes it romantic.
You're right.
Now it's hot. The fact that she said she didn't feel the romantic spark, that sucks. But I would be worried if she said she did feel the romantic spark with the mom there. That's why Ted would like to do a redo without his mother there talking him up and tucking his napkin into his shirt and wiping the ketchup off of his face. That's why he's here for a second chance.
He's laughing. I love it.
Because he knows that really happened, didn't it, Ted? No. It did not. It didn't go that far.

Chapter 6: How did Ted's mom's presence affect his interaction with Amy?
Yes.
All right. Let's give this a shot. I'm going to call Amy right now. Hello? Hi, is this Amy? This is Amy. Hey, I'm sorry to bother you, but you're on the radio right now.
And you're on. Hi.
No. What? Yeah. I know it's kind of weird. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and we're doing this segment. It's called the Second Date Update. Hey. One of our listeners named Ted reached out to us because he went on a date with you and would like to see you again.
I mean, it's really cute. There's a really cute reason. He really likes you.
Hold on, Brooke.
What?
You're coming on a little strong here. Well, yes, because we know, Amy, that you sent him a text saying that you're not interested. Wow. Yeah. I know this is a lot that I'm telling you right now, but I just want to get it out of the way because we heard the story from Ted. He feels bad about the way that the night played out with his mom being there.
He's worried that that may have been the reason that the romantic spark didn't happen.

Chapter 7: What was Amy's reaction to Ted's unusual dating situation?
Yeah, there wasn't a... I didn't feel a romantic chemistry or, you know, that spark, but that didn't mean that I didn't ever want to talk to him again. Oh. But I get this text from a number I didn't recognize and... It says, you should really date my son.
Oh.
Wait, the mom texted you?
Did you get that text before or after you texted about the romantic spark?
After.
After.
Oh.
Oh, no. Okay, so he went and, are you thinking he went and talked to his mom and then the mom stepped in?
I wasn't sure at the time, but then they just kept coming and.

Chapter 8: What text did Amy send the day after the date?
You were the one who was on the mom's side and thought it was so cute at the start of this.
Yeah, until she started name calling.
All moms call people bitch. She's Brooke, okay?
That's just how moms talk. I think that the good thing is that this is not Ted's behavior, right?
No, it is not.
This is his mom's behavior. Not in a relationship with mom, you're in a relationship with Ted. But you're going to deal with the mom eventually.
We'll deal with that later. At the Thanksgiving dinner table, I'm sure mom would say, I'm sorry for what she said. And you just have to meet up with him one more time. We'd love to pay for that second meetup if you're open to it, Amy.
I think everything is moving super fast.
Okay, how about just yes to a date, no to Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is a big act.
