Second Date Update: Mother's Dayte

Summary

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update — "Mother's Dayte" (September 12, 2025)

---

Episode Overview

In this extra-awkward installment of the “Second Date Update” segment, hosts Brooke and Jeffrey try to help listener Chris figure out why his first date with Bella ended in radio silence. As it unfolds, the team discovers the answer is equal parts hilarious and cringeworthy: Chris brought his mom along on the date—without warning Bella. The episode launches into a classic Brooke & Jeffrey blend of comedy, bewilderment, and gentle (but honest) advice as the story unpacks the intricate, overprotective relationship between Chris and his mother, and how it played out during his fateful encounter with Bella.

  • “He was pretty quiet the whole time, and his mom filled in the spaces and answered for him when I would ask questions.” — Bella (14:48)

  • “One of them wanted to get married, but she was way too overbearing, so we had to let her go.” — Chris (17:32)

Resolution: Would Bella Try Again? (19:08–19:55)

• The hosts gently ask if Bella would consider another date—without Chris’s mom, and all expenses paid.
  • “Would you be willing to go out on another date with just Chris, and we would pay for it. No, mom. Maybe just even as friends …” — Jeffrey (19:08)
• Bella politely but firmly declines. She thinks the history and awkwardness would “cloud this next interaction.”
• Chris’s mom, audibly displeased, is reported by Chris to be “not a fan of [Bella’s] response” (19:43).

Prohibited by law CTNCs21 + hey, it's.

[Brooke]

Your brand new second date update.

[Jeffrey]

And why are you laughing already, Brooke? We haven't even started.

[Brooke]

Because she knows what's coming. Because, yeah, one of our listeners brought a surprise guest. We'll say on the date. And who he brought is a little shocking. So. Yeah, you're gonna hear it. You're gonna hear it coming up. I know people are gonna have some strong reactions to this one, but first let's go over some comments. Alexis.

Yeah, Turkey said, my only problem is Brooke and Alexis sound the same.

Really? Yeah. So let's.

Okay, this is Alexis.

This is Brooke. No, you're copying me now. Brooke. No, you're copying me now.

[Jeffrey]

Stop here.

[Brooke]

Dude, she's moving her hands like me. Nobody can see her.

Nobody can see her.

[Jeffrey]

I can help. This is how you tell the difference is Brooke is the one who snorts when she laughs.

[Brooke]

Yeah, Brooke is a snorter.

[Jeffrey]

And Alexis just has like a honk. Like a when she laughs. Oh, so you'll notice.

[Brooke]

Do I honk? I don't know that. There you go. Oh, yeah.

I've never been told that in my life.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, it's great.

[Brooke]

I studied. I've never been told that in my life. All right, we'll keep you guessing. All right, we'll keep you guys in. Your brand new second date starts right now.

Right now.

[Jeffrey]

Second date update. We get a lot of people on this segment who tell us. I've heard you do these before. I never thought I'd actually be calling in for a second date update myself.

[Brooke]

It probably does feel like some sort of out of body experience.

[Jeffrey]

Totally. But they'll admit, they'll say, like, I'm a huge fan and I've heard all the previous calls. And Jeff, you're even more handsome than you sound on the radio.

[Brooke]

We don't get that comment.

[Jeffrey]

Get a lot of that stuff. But not today. Today's caller was very honest in his email admitting he's not a fan.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

In fact, never really listened to our show before.

[Brooke]

Why are we heading him on Other.

[Jeffrey]

People in his social Circle, though, encouraged him to reach out for help with his dating life, so he thought he'd give it a try. Okay. His name is Chris. Chris. I don't know if you realize what you're getting yourself into here, man.

[Brooke]

I was just thinking, Jeff. His friends must be idiots. Yeah, or sett up as a big inside joke.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Do you have idiot friends, Chris?

[Chris]

I don't think so.

[Brooke]

Okay, you really don't listen to the show. You didn't say no. This is going to be fun.

[Jeffrey]

Since you haven't heard how we do these, we'll just start off by asking, what's the name of the lucky lady that you're wanting us to call today?

[Chris]

Bella.

[Jeffrey]

Bella.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Beautiful. Yes. Italian. Beautiful. So how did you meet Bella?

[Chris]

Online, you know, dating apps.

[Brooke]

Are you interested in Bellas, like, right now? Maybe it's just because you're nervous.

[Jeffrey]

Like, he's never heard the show.

[Brooke]

Emotions are real low.

[Chris]

Oh, no, she's. She's really nice and pretty.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Brooksy. Yeah, Brooke? Some sometimes guys are more of, like, internal joy feelers rather than, like, showing all of their emotions on the outside and crying at every opportunity, like some of us do.

[Brooke]

So it's why I asked the question.

[Jeffrey]

That's good to ask. So tell us, what did you and Bella do for a date?

[Chris]

Well, we went to this Mexican restaurant.

[Brooke]

Okay, okay. And what was the moment like when you first saw each other in person?

[Chris]

Hold on one second.

[Brooke]

Okay, hold on.

[Jeffrey]

What, do we air this part?

[Brooke]

Are you there, Chris?

[Chris]

It was very sweet.

[Jeffrey]

It was very sweet to see her in person.

[Brooke]

Are we interrupting something right now?

[Chris]

Yeah, no, you have my full attention.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

You did ask us to just wait for a second while you did something. Yeah, let's keep going. Tell us about how dinner went at.

[Brooke]

The Mexican place, like, the Connection, or.

[Jeffrey]

If that's what you did. Like, we just want to learn more about your date, man.

[Chris]

What do you mean? That's what I did.

[Jeffrey]

No, no, I'm saying, did you eat?

[Brooke]

Do we have to ask more questions?

[Jeffrey]

Can we just call it?

[Brooke]

Pretend like you're talking to your friends and they're wanting a recap of your night.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

What did you tell him? What were the highlights?

[Jeffrey]

Tacos. We kissed, we went on a walk.

[Chris]

Like, I had a cheese quesadilla.

[Jeffrey]

No.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Brooke]

You order from the kids?

[Chris]

No, it was. It was a full size one.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, good. Nice. What did you two talk about?

[Chris]

We talked about, you know, like, pop culture and, like, news and, like, our interests and her interest.

[Brooke]

So you're big into pop Culture.

[Chris]

No.

[Jeffrey]

The topic did come up, and I had to suffer through that for a little bit. So did you feel like it was a natural flow of convo.

[Chris]

Hold on.

[Jeffrey]

What did you say? Hold on again?

[Chris]

I think so.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Chris. Who. Who are you talking.

[Chris]

It was pretty good.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry, man. Who are you talking to in between this.

[Chris]

Oh, my mom's here with me. Hi, Mom.

[Jeffrey]

Why. Why are you talking to your mom in the middle of this?

[Chris]

Well, she is a big fan of the show.

[Brooke]

Oh, she is?

[Jeffrey]

Maybe she's the one that.

[Chris]

Yeah, she sent the email for me.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay.

[Brooke]

She did it for you.

[Jeffrey]

Well, what a nice.

[Brooke]

I like when my mom does my stuff for me, too.

[Jeffrey]

That's good.

[Brooke]

Appointments.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. I'm not forgotten what we were asking. Well, can we get to, like, how it ended? Was there any romance, like a kiss or a hug? Just any. Any big moment that stood out to you? There you go.

[Chris]

Yeah, when I went to the bathroom and came back, they were chatting it up like crazy. They really. They really hit it off.

[Brooke]

Wait, who's they?

[Chris]

Chris, Bella and my mom.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, on the date?

[Chris]

Yeah, my mom was on the date with us.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Brooke]

Did you tell Bella before you showed up to the restaurant that your mom was coming along?

[Chris]

No, Chris.

[Brooke]

Problem solved.

Chris, this is absolutely the reason that Bella isn't calling you back.

[Chris]

You think so?

[Brooke]

Yes. Yes. No one wants to date somebody's mom.

[Jeffrey]

Chris, what's the reason that you brought your mom along with you on the date?

[Chris]

Oh, to keep me safe from any bad women.

[Jeffrey]

Bad women. Knife on you. Mom's right there. That's true. Don't be taken advantage of, either, on a day by a woman. But still, can you paint that picture? Like, what. What is she gonna do in the middle of the day? Just be like, I don't like her.

[Chris]

My mom does like Bella. She said.

[Brooke]

Good.

[Chris]

She says that she doesn't dress sleazily.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's good. Wow. Sounds like it's a rare thing for.

[Brooke]

The women that you tell your mom she shouldn't comment on women's clothes.

[Chris]

Yeah, she thinks.

[Jeffrey]

She says she's Dr. Dress really nicely.

[Brooke]

That's not what she said.

[Jeffrey]

He could have interpreted it differently. Let's give him a little bit of grace here.

[Bella]

Okay?

[Jeffrey]

His mom is standing over his shoulder while he's talking to a nationally syndicated show. So a lot of nerves here. A lot of pressure.

[Brooke]

Chris, does your mom come along with everything for you? Like, if. If someone is to date you, is it always a package deal?

[Chris]

I mean, yeah, unless she says otherwise.

[Brooke]

Unless. Who says otherwise?

[Chris]

My mom.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. She runs the show. I think we know you're an adult, right?

[Chris]

I'm 32.

[Jeffrey]

All right, 32. Nice.

[Brooke]

This is going to be a little complicated.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe let's just fast forward to calling Bella here.

[Brooke]

Oh, I thought we're going to be so surprised on her answer of why she's not calling.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I think we will. Mom is probably going to be the most surprised of anybody.

[Brooke]

It's going to be shocking.

[Jeffrey]

So make sure you put it on speaker when we dial a bell and try and get you your very first radio experience on Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. This is a big deal, dude.

[Chris]

My mom's, like, super pumped.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so are we. We're going to do it right after this. Hold on. Second date upd. If you're just joining us, this is pretty exciting because in a way, we're doing our very first three way second date update. Why you say it like that? The three people being our caller, Chris, 2, his date, Bella, and the third is Chris's mom.

[Brooke]

You cannot say Chris's mom with sexy music in the background. It's not right.

[Jeffrey]

You're reading this as sexy music.

[Brooke]

Okay?

[Jeffrey]

That's your own brain interpreting it that way. But Chris's mom not only tagged along on their dinner date, but is actually with Chris right now, next to him, quietly listening. Yeah. And sometimes answering questions for him when Chris can't remember.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

But it is nice. It's nice to have a wing woman there able to do ride or die with you. Be your support system.

[Brooke]

Yeah. What was her reaction? We never asked. When she got to the table and your mom sitting there.

[Chris]

I think she was fine with it.

[Brooke]

Oh, we'll ask her the same question. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Clearly, Chris and his mother don't believe that's the reason why, so. So, Chris, what's your mom's guess for why Bella's acting a fool right now?

[Chris]

I don't know. Hold on.

[Jeffrey]

Is he, like, sitting on her lap?

[Chris]

Hold on, guys. She's writing something.

[Brooke]

She's writing.

[Jeffrey]

She's writing the answers. Can you tell her to write a little bit faster? Because we are on a time limit for this segment.

[Chris]

Just give her a minute. So we are cat people and she might be more of a dog person.

[Jeffrey]

That could be a thing.

[Brooke]

The good news is we're about to find out.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, hopefully, because that's if she picks up the phone, because we're gonna dial her number right now. I'm praying that Bella has really good news for us. This is all A misunderstanding. And she cannot wait to hang out with you and your mom again.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Chris.

[Jeffrey]

Chris.

[Chris]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Talking to his mom's combing his hair.

[Brooke]

Just call Bella.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, here we go. I'm gonna dial her right now. Let's see if she picks up.

[Bella]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Bella?

[Bella]

Yes. Who's speaking?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, you're speaking to a whole morning show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Hey, Bella.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, good morning. You're on the radio right now.

[Bella]

Hi.

[Brooke]

Yeah, good morning, beautiful.

[Jeffrey]

I always say, because it's your name. Get it? Bella. So the reason that we're reaching out to you, Bella, is we're doing a segment. It's called a Second Date Update. I don't know if you're familiar with that.

[Bella]

Oh, no. Oh, dear.

[Jeffrey]

Don't be afraid. It's a good thing, because a guy named Chris has reached out to our show, asking us if we could get a hold of you.

[Chris]

Oh.

[Bella]

Oh, of course he did.

[Jeffrey]

What do you mean, of course?

[Brooke]

Do you mean because he's getting help?

[Bella]

It just makes a lot of sense.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I mean, it definitely. When we heard from Chris, it sounded like you two went on a very unique date.

[Bella]

Yes, that's a nice way to put it. For the record, both him and his mom have been texting me.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, man, group chatter. We did hear that the mom was there.

[Brooke]

I would love to hear your description of showing up to the Mexican restaurant.

[Bella]

So it started off with just me and him at a table?

[Brooke]

Yeah. Oh, it did start with just you and him. His mom wasn't there immediately?

[Bella]

Well, she kept coming up to the table. I thought she was, like, a server or, like a busser or someone, because she kept coming up and, like, checking in on us. And then, like, the third time, she just sat down with us.

[Brooke]

That is so strange. Like, I just. I don't know, I just thought that he was more upfront with the whole thing. I know he didn't tell you before the date, but my read on it.

[Bella]

Is that he was a little bit awkward, somewhat nervous, and just genuinely wasn't sure how to introduce her.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I mean, maybe he's a person who needs help in social situations. Yeah, like that.

[Jeffrey]

And it's nice of you to give him grace in that scenario. So once you found out that it was his mom and she was going to be joining you for the date, how did the rest of it go?

[Bella]

He was pretty quiet the whole time, and his mom filled in the spaces and answered for him when I would ask questions. I mean, don't get me wrong, she She's a lovely, lovely woman, truly. But maybe a little overprotective.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

So do you think.

I mean, do you think it would have been better if she would have just stayed pretending to be a server and let him. And let him just date?

[Bella]

He just. She shouldn't have been there, in my opinion. You know, he's 32, and I think it's time that he sits through a date by himself. And I think he's nice, but it was just too awkward.

[Jeffrey]

I could see what you're saying there, but have you ever considered that maybe Chris is such an amazing guy that his mom is being protective because she wants the best possible match for him?

[Brooke]

Jeff is saying this because he has a mom a lot like Chris's mom.

[Jeffrey]

Some of our mothers love us, and I can't believe that's used as something that people hold against. My mom thinks I'm amazing, too.

[Brooke]

Jeff's mom would love to go on.

[Jeffrey]

Dates with him, but I'm not talking about Jeff's mom. I'm talking about Chris's mom and actually Chris himself, who is on the other line right now listening to this conversation.

[Chris]

Oh.

[Bella]

Oh, my God. Hi. Why are you doing this?

[Chris]

Oh, it was my mom's idea.

[Jeffrey]

No. Oh, she does listen to our show, so.

[Chris]

I didn't realize you were uncomfortable. I'm sorry.

[Bella]

None more uncomfortable than right now.

[Chris]

If it makes you feel better, my mom is very picky, and she approves of you, so.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's not gonna help.

[Jeffrey]

It's kind of a nice compliment to give to you.

[Bella]

Well, thank you for that, but I would really prefer to know what you think and not what your mom thinks.

[Brooke]

Oh, well said. I mean, are you hearing her on that, Chris?

[Jeffrey]

It's a good opportunity, Chris, to speak from the heart.

[Chris]

Yeah, I agree with my mom, okay?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. They're on the same page. They both think that you're a really cool person, Bella.

[Bella]

Chris, can I just ask you what was up with the whole server bit with your mom?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Yeah. Well, we do that every time we don't want to. Like, we want it to be, like, a surprise.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you do this a lot with your mom?

[Chris]

Like, not a lot, but the few dates that I do get.

[Bella]

Chris, you're saying that you've done this with other ladies before?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Bella]

Do they. Do they stay for the date, or have they left? What has happened in the past?

[Chris]

Well, one of them wanted to get married, but she was way too overbearing, so we had to let her go.

[Jeffrey]

We had to let her go? Really?

[Brooke]

Wait you had a proposal?

[Chris]

Well, yeah. She didn't live in this country, and a lot of it was on video. Oh, wow.

[Jeffrey]

She was really eager to get over here and tie the knot with you.

[Brooke]

Chris and Chris's mom. Don't fall for that. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Sounded like a romantic story.

[Chris]

No, we learned our lesson.

[Brooke]

Okay, that's good. That's good.

[Jeffrey]

So now he's moved on. He's put all those other women that want him aside. Because right now you're in the spotlight. It should be kind of flattering.

[Bella]

Yeah, I'm flattered. And a little. I feel very awkward. Yeah, I feel like I'm dating you and your mom and not just you.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, if you brought your mom on a date.

[Brooke]

No. Is anyone here subtraction?

[Jeffrey]

Yes, I think, but Bella is trying to suggest. It sounds like Chris is. Maybe the two of you go on a one on one date and you leave your mom at home for this one. What?

[Bella]

That is definitely not what I'm suggesting.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. Well, then I misread it. I'm not sure what you're suggesting.

[Bella]

I'm suggesting that for Chris, he should do more of those.

[Brooke]

Maybe. Chris, if you don't feel safe on a date, I think that's valid. Maybe your mom can wait in a car in the parking lot. Like, just not come inside the restaurant.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, that's kind of nice. Security shirt. You can buy them on Amazon.

[Brooke]

Stop.

[Chris]

My mom laughed at that. She liked.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, nice work, Jose.

[Brooke]

Okay, sounds like.

[Jeffrey]

So this may be completely fruitless, but I do have to ask Bella, would you be willing to go out on another date with just Chris, and we would pay for it. No, mom. Maybe just even as friends, get to know each other a little more like the real Chris.

[Bella]

No, thank you.

[Jeffrey]

I keep in mind his mom is listening to this entire conversation. So what you say his mom is hearing?

[Brooke]

She's well aware.

[Bella]

Well, I'll say to both of them that since we both have history with each other, I just think that that would cloud this next interaction.

[Chris]

My mom isn't a fan of your response.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow, Bella, you got on Chris's mom's bad side now. Yeah, not good. You better expect some angry texts from her later on after this is over.

[Bella]

I'll be ready for them.

[Brooke]

I was just gonna suggest maybe blocking that number. Yeah, all right.

[Jeffrey]

Well, good idea, man. I appreciate you taking a chance, reaching out to our show, even if your mom did it for you. And being on with us, giving it a shot. That was really brave. It was a big first step for you.

[Brooke]

Yeah, maybe. Next step is you have dinner with a woman without your mom there.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe you can bring Brooke along with you on the date and she'll win for you.

[Chris]

Oh yeah. Do you want to come? No, that'd be cool.

[Brooke]

His mom would not like Brooke.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

You know, it's funny, a lot of us are laughing or even cringing at the idea of having your mom join you on a first date. Yeah, but I don't know. I could definitely see Brooke sitting down with her son Alder on his very first date and then immediately admonish the girl for not dressing sleazily enough. Yeah, my son deserves to see skin, missy. Look at him and his sad little eyes. I don't see any cleavage on you, young lady. And I'm not seeing enough cleavage on you. Oh, There, there sweetie. Let me hug you tightly into mine. Oh wow Brooke, you're a good mom.

[Brooke]

There is a running joke at my house that if I have to keep cutting their steak and stuff up for them then I'm gonna have to accompany them on a date so they better figure it out soon.

[Jeffrey]

So you're gonna be teaching his date how to cook steak for him?

[Brooke]

No, cut it up.

[Jeffrey]

Cut it. Yeah, for him. So look out Brooke. Judge not lest you be judged in like six to seven. No. How long? How old?

[Brooke]

I A long time.

[Jeffrey]

A long time. I bet he's gonna be an early blue 40 years. Well, we'll see. That's a lot of time for people to go online and check out all of our second date updates. Wherever podcasts they're up at BrookeandJeffery tired.
