Episode Overview

In this hilarious and truly unique Second Date Update, Brooke, Jeffrey, and team try to help listener Ethan get clarity—and maybe a second date—with Brianna after a very unconventional first date. When Brianna's mom became the unexpected co-star of the night, the lines between romance and family got very blurry. What Ethan wanted: a second chance with Brianna. What he got: a new friend request from her mom.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Date Begins:

• Matching and Chemistry

  • Ethan matches with Brianna online. She's friendly and has a great smile. They set up a date at a local bar and grill.
  • The in-person spark is real. Brianna arrives, compliments Ethan’s shirt (rare, Ethan points out), and conversation flows well.
    • “It’s very rare for the woman to give the compliment first.” – Ethan (04:59)

• Initial Vibes

  • Both hosts and Ethan agree the date is going better than most first meetings.

2. Plot Twist: Enter the Mom

• Brianna glances at her phone and casually announces, “I hope you don’t mind, my mom’s going to be stopping by.” (05:30)

• Within minutes, Mom (Deborah) arrives, pulls up a chair, and the waitress includes her in the food order.

  • “She pulled a chair up.” – Ethan (06:12)
  • “She’s joining us?” – Brooke (06:16)

• Mom orders takeout but stays to chat, with Brianna acting as if this is all quite normal.

3. An Abrupt Switch: Brianna Leaves, Mom Stays

• As dinner arrives, Brianna suddenly announces that she needs to leave, asks her mom to box up her food, hugs Ethan, and exits.

  • “She gives me a hug goodbye. She says, like, ‘oh, we’ll talk later.’” – Ethan (07:23)

• Ethan is left dining with Brianna’s mom.

  • “Brianna has left the table, and it’s just you and Brianna’s mom?” – Brooke (07:43)

• The hosts speculate if this is some kind of “mom test” or a family screening process.

4. Aftermath: Mom Texts More than Brianna

• Post-date, Ethan notices that Brianna’s mom is texting him more than Brianna does.
  • “The issue is her mom is texting me more than Brianna.” – Ethan (08:48)

The Confrontation: Calling Brianna

(11:40–17:56)

5. Reaching Out and Brianna Explains

• Brianna claims her mom’s appearance wasn’t fully planned—Mom just moved nearby after a divorce and stopped by because she was out and about.
  • “She just went through a divorce and actually just moved to be closer to me... I let her know where I was at the date...” – Brianna (13:04)
• When pressed about why she left:
  • “It just seemed like they were having a fun conversation, and... I thought, you know, just let the conversation continue with them and I could find something else to do, so I wouldn’t feel like I was interrupting.” – Brianna (14:09)
• It becomes clear Brianna was hoping her mom would make a new friend (Ethan) and be less dependent on her, freeing up time for Brianna to date.
  • “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.” – Brianna (14:29)
• Ethan reacts with disbelief and humor at being “mom-zoned” instead of friend-zoned.

6. On the Record: No Romance

• Brianna clarifies she is not setting Mom and Ethan up romantically.
  • “My mom is not attracted to you in any way, okay.” – Brianna (17:30)
• The hosts tease Ethan (“You got friend-zoned to the mom”) and joke about his “ugly but sweet” status in the friend circle.

7. The Final Offer—and Rejection

• Brooke offers to sponsor a "friend date" at mini-golf with Ethan and Brianna’s mom.
  • “Would you like to go out on a friend date with... Brianna’s mom and I?” – Brooke (18:26)
• Ethan declines: “It’s gonna be a no for me.” (18:54)
• Brianna jokes, “Who’s gonna tell my mom? It’s not gonna be me!” (19:04)
• Everyone laughs as they realize Ethan now has to “break up” with Brianna’s mom as well.

Hey, thanks for finding a Brooke and Jeffrey second date update podcast. We're so glad you're here. Today features a brand new episode and we've got a date switch swap. Can we call it that? I mean, swap ditched. I don't know. He didn't sign up for it.

[Joel and Matt]

Regardless.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, you're gonna 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 to 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.

[Imate Health Advertiser]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Second date update.

[Brooke]

Brooke, 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?

[Jeffrey]

I would take talent I don't have.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Family reunions do not count, by the way. No, I only asked because apparently that's what happened to our listener, Ethan, who has reached out requesting our help today. Ethan, welcome to the show, man.

[Ethan]

Hey, how are you?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, man. How do you go from one date to another in the same night? That is. That's some gymnastics.

[Ethan]

Yeah, it was probably one of the most confusing and strange dates I've been on.

[Jeffrey]

Can I ask, are you interested in getting a hold of date number one or date number two?

[Ethan]

Yeah, the original person that I was going on the date with. That's who I'm interested.

[Jeffrey]

Interesting.

[Brooke]

Got it.

[Jeffrey]

So it'd be who you ended the night with.

[Brooke]

Well, let's start at the beginning. Tell us what happened.

[Ethan]

Okay, so I match 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 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.

[Brooke]

Dude. Never happens.

[Ethan]

Yeah, she's like, I love that shirt. I'm like, you know, thank you.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Like, all the women listening should give more compliments. Well, I do if the guy's actually stylish. Oh, I mean, you got to work for it. I'll compliment a stylish guy. Just saying, everyone got to be stylish.

[Joel and Matt]

All right.

[Brooke]

Okay, so after the compliments, how did the dinner drinks, like, what were we doing?

[Ethan]

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.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so you're feeling at this point okay? This could be something.

[Ethan]

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, 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.

[Jeffrey]

What? That's not the end of the world.

[Brooke]

I'd be like, oh my God, I.

[Jeffrey]

Love to meet your mom on the first date.

[Brooke]

Hey, if she thinks that he's good enough to just have mom swing by and drop something off, I think that's a good sign.

[Joel and Matt]

No.

[Jeffrey]

Why? Why is mom stopping by?

[Ethan]

I don't know. I thought she was joking at first. Right. But a couple minutes later, mom shows up.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Ethan]

She introduces herself. Her name's Deborah. And then she pulled a chair up.

[Jeffrey]

No.

[Brooke]

Oh, she's joining us?

[Jeffrey]

No, she sits with you?

[Ethan]

Yeah. Like, and this is right when the waitress is at the table and we're about to order food. So the waitress, not knowing anything, she asked the mom what she wants to eat too.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Joel and Matt]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

So the mom's like, oh, I'll just get something to go.

[Jeffrey]

That still means she's going to sit there until the to go.

[Brooke]

And it means you're paying for that, which is fine. You take care of the mom.

[Jeffrey]

Is this normal to Briana? Can you tell?

[Ethan]

I don't really know. Like, she doesn't seem like it's off putting or anything. And like, how was the mom?

[Brooke]

Was she pleasant? Was she weird?

[Joel and Matt]

Weird?

[Brooke]

Was she like, Jose wants to know if she's single because he is interested.

[Ethan]

Yeah, she was like super nice. Very similar to Brianna. Very talkative, approachable. That's good.

[Brooke]

So at what point? You know, when does mom leave?

[Ethan]

That's the thing. So 15 minutes later, food comes out. Brianna's eating and like, she looked at her phone and she's like, oh, I gotta go.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Brooke]

Who? Yeah, Brianna or the mom?

[Ethan]

Brianna.

[Brooke]

No, wait, what?

[Ethan]

She's like, I gotta go. She asks her mom to box the food up. She gives me a hug goodbye. She says like, oh, we'll talk later.

[Jeffrey]

No apology, no explanation.

[Ethan]

She said sorry, but she was just kind of like rushing out of there, like emergency or she had to give to something.

[Brooke]

Okay, so now at this point, Brianna has left the table and it's just you and Brianna's mom having dinner together? Yes.

[Jeffrey]

It has to be some type of test with, like, what, how her mom is reading you after she leaves or something like this.

[Brooke]

Like, let the mom mom figure this out. Feel it out.

[Jeffrey]

That must have been so awkward for you.

[Ethan]

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.

[Brooke]

How did the date end?

[Ethan]

Was there a kiss?

[Joel and Matt]

No.

[Jeffrey]

Is mom single? Is this like, if me and my mom went out and we're like, all right, who gets. Who's a better fit for.

[Brooke]

That would be a crazy way to set somebody up. How did you and Brianna's mom leave things?

[Ethan]

So, like, we walked out together. The mom gives me a hug and I'm just kind of like, what just happened?

[Brooke]

Yeah, you got like swapped out. But it sounds like you already passed the paternal interview portion of the dating process, so that's good news.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, Brianna hasn't reached out to you after this?

[Ethan]

We've been texting here and there since that night.

[Josh Zeman]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Ethan]

But not as much as I like.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

I see.

[Jeffrey]

It feels different, you're saying.

[Ethan]

Yeah, but the issue is that her mom is texting me more than Brianna.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, her mom has your phone number? How did that happen?

[Ethan]

I guess Briana gave it to her. She was just like, hey, great to meet you the other night. And then she asked me how's my day going?

[Jeffrey]

That sounds like a post date tag.

[Brooke]

That's like a follow up.

[Jeffrey]

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.

[Brooke]

Appropriate for sure. Brooke sounds like she already knows exactly, exactly how things are going to go when her kids start.

[Joel and Matt]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Chat going. Any boy your daughter text, you're in that group chat.

[Jeffrey]

I'm just gonna be in a disguise Secretly from another table. Watching that.

[Brooke]

That part crosses the line.

[Jeffrey]

That's normal.

[Brooke]

So let's try to bring your dating life back to normal when we call Brianna here. Wow, I can't wait for this. And we'll, we'll ask her what's going on between the two of you when we do your second date update right after this.

[Ethan]

Hold on.

[Imate Health Advertiser]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Second date update.

[Brooke]

If you missed it, Ethan just told us about one of the stranger first dates that we've ever covered on this show.

[Jeffrey]

I honestly can't believe he wants to see this woman again.

[Brooke]

It's. I mean, 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.

[Brianna]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Which honestly, that part isn't even that mind blowing. We've heard heard of it happening before.

[Jeffrey]

Totally interesting. She stopped by.

[Brooke]

That's like normal. I know. We're like, that's cool.

[Jeffrey]

We thought she was just going to get it to go order and go.

[Joel and Matt]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

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.

[Jeffrey]

And, and Brianna's mom is the one that's been texting him more.

[Brooke]

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 gotta feel good, right? Ethan, that mom already approves of you dating her daughter.

[Ethan]

Yeah, that's one way to look at it.

[Jeffrey]

Oh my God.

[Brooke]

Trying to be optimistic here.

[Jeffrey]

Can I ask, how many texts a day do you think you're getting from Brianna's mom?

[Ethan]

Probably like four or five. Like kind of, you know, throughout the day, you know.

[Jeffrey]

And how many are you getting from Brianna?

[Ethan]

Like one every like three or four days.

[Brooke]

Oh man.

[Jeffrey]

Although, maybe we should just call the mom. Honestly, she's the one that's going to want to go out with you.

[Brooke]

The mom's trying to feel you out.

[Ethan]

I don't want to talk to the mom. I want to talk to Brianna.

[Joel and Matt]

No.

[Brooke]

Moms love getting phone calls from people. Oh, they do?

[Joel and Matt]

I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

This is a family that has wild.

[Brooke]

Boundaries or no boundaries. I'm really eager to talk to either one of them. So let's call up Brianna first. We'll see if she answers. Here we go.

[Brianna]

Hello?

[Brooke]

Hey, is this Brianna?

[Brianna]

Yeah, speaking.

[Jeffrey]

Hey Brianna, we are so excited to talk to you.

[Brooke]

That's an understatement. Because you're on a radio show right now. It's called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brianna]

Okay.

[Ethan]

What?

[Brooke]

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.

[Brianna]

Okay.

[Brooke]

It's a guy named Ethan.

[Brianna]

What's the problem? I don't understand why you all are reaching out about him.

[Brooke]

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.

[Jeffrey]

He was so excited about you. Like, you're cute. You have a great smile, wonderful personality.

[Brianna]

He is so sweet. He looked really nice, too. He looked very nice.

[Brooke]

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.

[Brianna]

Yeah, that was really nice. She happened to be in the area and she could stop by and order some food with us.

[Brooke]

Wait, oh. Cause she happened to be. That wasn't, like, planned that she would swing by?

[Brianna]

Not necessarily planned. My mom, she just went through a 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 what happened.

[Jeffrey]

Dude, that was so nice of Ethan to buy your mom dinner.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Brianna]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

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?

[Brianna]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Brooke]

All right. We didn't think so, but we just had to get that out there.

[Jeffrey]

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?

[Brianna]

Oh, so he told you that. Okay.

[Josh Zeman]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Well, he was left with your mom. That's probably a pretty big plot point in the date night.

[Brianna]

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, just let the conversation continue with them and I could find something else to do so I wouldn't feel like I was interrupting.

[Josh Zeman]

What?

[Brooke]

Wait, what?

[Jeffrey]

So, wait, you left so that your mom could hang out with Ethan.

[Brooke]

You're trying to get your mom a friend.

[Brianna]

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.

[Brooke]

You're pawning your mom off onto a new person so that she can hang out and you can have independence.

[Brianna]

Not any person. Ethan, he's super nice.

[Brooke]

Oh no, the nice guys finished last thing is like screaming right here.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, last nice guys finish first with moms, I guess.

[Brooke]

You know, 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.

[Brianna]

Oh, so he heard that? All of that?

[Jeffrey]

Oh yeah, everything. He knows the plan now, so.

[Brooke]

Ethan, are you there?

[Ethan]

Hello? Hey, Brianna.

[Brianna]

Hi, Ethan.

[Ethan]

Yes, that's what happened there.

[Brianna]

It wasn't intentional in any way, but it just kind of was on my part to leave.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow.

[Ethan]

Yeah, but like the day was going well. We were vibing on our date there, you know, I. We both had a great conversation, so. Why would you do that?

[Brianna]

I know we were. It's just. It was really nice to watch it blossom, this friendship blossoming with my mom and you.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Brooke]

That's a median blossoming friendship.

[Jeffrey]

There's no 20 something year old man that wants to be friends with somebody's mom.

[Brianna]

Please don't judge Ethan that way, okay? He can decide for himself.

[Joel and Matt]

That's true.

[Brianna]

And they have been texting a lot. She told me you guys have been talking like a couple of times throughout the day.

[Brooke]

Oh, Ethan, that is a good point. You are answering all of her mom's text messages.

[Jeffrey]

Mom or new bff, what do you want to call it? Yeah, exactly.

[Brooke]

What's her name in your phone?

[Ethan]

Brianna's mom.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. I mean, are we. Do you want to be friends with Brian's mom?

[Brooke]

Yeah. What do you want more? Friendship with Brianna's mom or a romance with Brianna?

[Jeffrey]

Can't you have both? Are both not on the table?

[Brianna]

Yeah. I'm gonna say no for me, because I. I just can't see myself dating one of my mom's friends.

[Ethan]

That is wild. This is wild to me.

[Brooke]

Yeah, dude, all of us, bro.

[Jeffrey]

You got friend zone to the mom.

[Brooke]

That's a new level mom zone.

[Ethan]

Brianna, you were so nice and kind and different than all the other girls I've gone on dates with.

[Brianna]

And you know who's nicer than me? My mom. Where do you think I got it from you all should go prett pet, do some nice little day dates and things like that.

[Jeffrey]

You called it a date? Uh oh, day date.

[Brianna]

You guys know what I mean. It wasn't like a date like that.

[Brooke]

No, we understood. This is very, very sweet. It's like a play date in a strange way.

[Brianna]

Ethan, I want to be very clear with you. My mom is not attracted to you in any way. Okay.

[Ethan]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Well, I felt a little harsh and unnecess.

[Jeffrey]

No, that's not good news, Alexis. That's more of an insult than anything that's been said.

[Brooke]

She's like, by the way, don't try anything.

[Ethan]

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.

[Brooke]

Well, he's ugly, but he's sweet. Everybody in their friend group, they. They need to have that ugly friend. Absolutely. So that they look better.

[Jeffrey]

He's so ugly.

[Brooke]

Ethan Gold though, right?

[Jeffrey]

You're hot and handsome.

[Brooke]

I'm sure Brooke has never seen you.

[Josh Zeman]

Ethan.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, I'm also a mom.

[Brooke]

Yeah, maybe Brooke wants to be friends with you.

[Jeffrey]

I'm good, dude.

[Brianna]

He dresses really well.

[Jeffrey]

Stylish guys get compliments and mom points.

[Brooke]

So we.

[Jeffrey]

What is the question, Jeff?

[Brooke]

I mean normally the question would be would you and Briana 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 with to putt putt golf with Brianna's mom and I? I guess we would fund that. That be so cute.

[Brianna]

Well, I'm gonna answer for my mom. I'm gonna say a yes.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay.

[Brooke]

Now Ethan, it's all up to you.

[Joel and Matt]

Oh boy.

[Ethan]

I'm sorry. Your mom is nice, but it's gonna be a no for me.

[Brooke]

Oh my God.

[Jeffrey]

I didn't see that coming.

[Brooke]

Friendship doesn't last sometimes.

[Brianna]

Who's gonna tell the mom it's not gonna be me? Ethan. You need to break this to her.

[Jeffrey]

[Brooke]

[Ethan]

What are you doing to me? Brianna.

[Brooke]

I feel like a failure.

[Joel and Matt]

Why?

[Brooke]

Why?

[Jeffrey]

Because he got just mom zoned on top of being friend zoned by the girl?

[Brooke]

No, not even that. That's the first time I've asked for a date with someone's mom and they said no. I always get yes.

[Jeffrey]

I see.

[Brooke]

Is it me? Did I do something wrong?

[Jeffrey]

No.

[Brooke]

I feel like I could have done better.

[Jeffrey]

It's not you.

[Brooke]

Remember this wasn't a day they wanted to friends for mom. 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?

[Jeffrey]

So suddenly Jose wants to go over.

[Brooke]

Everybody wants to be her friend now. Yeah, it didn't work out.

[Jeffrey]

That was wild.

[Brooke]

No, that was maybe one of the craziest ones we've ever done.

[Jeffrey]

Her mom must be so obnoxious that she'll pawn him off on anybody. I don't need to be mean. But like, yeah, yeah. She's just like, yeah, just take the date. I don't even care.

[Brooke]

You need friends so bad.

[Jeffrey]

Get my mom out of here.

[Josh Zeman]

Seriously.

[Brooke]

The next time we ask somebody if they want to hang out with somebody else's mom, we better get a yes.

[Joel and Matt]

Okay.

[Josh Zeman]

Okay.

[Brooke]

So if you're thinking about calling in.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.
