Second Date Update PODCAST: Mom Blocker

had nothing to do with them at all. But they think that they screwed it up and they want us to help fix it. Barbara is on the phone with us. Barbara thinks that she ruined her son's date. Oh hey, Barbara, how you doing? Oh I've been better? How are you not too bad? So this is an interesting story. We got your email and you feel like you ruined your son's date. Honestly, I don't think I know you know? Oh, okay, tell us what you did. Oh gosh, I became the

mother I before i'd never be. I have a son, Jeremy. He's one, but he still lives home with me. And he went out on a date with a new girl and I wasn't really sure of where he was and what his plans were. But it, you know, it got to be rather late, and I got a little aunty, you know, because he usually home at a decent hour, and well I got kind of worried and started calling his phone. Okay, how many times did you start calling

his phone? Oh? God, at least six seven times. It just kept going straight to voicemail, which made me even more anxious. Okay, so what'd you do, Barbara? Well, I kind of I guess at my age, you shouldn't be doing the social media's thing. But I went on his Facebook page and I posted on his page to all his friends. Does anybody know where Jeremy is? His mom? You know, he's you know, he's old, right, Barbara. You know, all I can say is it was like one, two

o'clock in the morning, and I went overboard. I really did. But it was two o'clock in the morning. So whatever was going on, clearly I ruined it. And I know what's going on that. Okay, let's not go down. So what was his reaction into that? I mean, I'm assuming he came home at a certain point. Yeah, he was. He was pretty angry. What did he say to you? He just came in, slamming the door and screaming at me, how could you do that? That was the best date

I've had in a year, and you ruined it. You ruined it, And he just stormed off, and I'm like trying to talk and I'm saying what did I do? What did I do? And he starts screaming at me. Facebook mom, you facebooked it? So, Barbara, you actually now think it's a good idea to continue this line and call his date? Is what you want us to do? I mean, I just don't know what else to do. It's it's apparently he really really liked this girl and things were going quite well, and yeah, things turned after

I did what I did. So how do you have this girl's phone number? Really? Yeah? Really, I went in this phone Osbara, you're just making you're worse, you know that, Barbara, Well, I was hoping with you guys, I could turn things around. Maybe. So your goal is to get this girl on the phone and convince her to go back out with your son, and I swear I'll stay away. Oh my gosh, if I got this call from a guy I was dating's mom,

I would run eight thousand miles in the other directions. Sweet, it's not like I mean, can't we turn it into something? I mean, can't we find the laughter in it? I think it's funny. Yeah, well for us, not for her son for sure. Well I know not for him. But maybe if we can make her to laugh, she'll reconsider. If I swear to stay away until the wedding. Yeah, maybe we don't. Don't bring up the wedding thing. That

might be a bit much, I promise. Okay, So if you make this call and she doesn't want to go out with him again, and then she ends up calling your son and saying, hey, can you tell your mom to back off? He's already mad at you. Don't you think he's gonna get even more pissed. Well, I mean the way I look at it is they don't have a second date anyway. Yeah, so if she goes out with him, it's a win. If she doesn't go out

with him, then it's status quo. Yeah, I guess you can't make her talk to him less if she's not talking to him after the date. Have I meddled in my son's life over the years, of course, but this is probably me at my absolute worst. And if you guys can help me fix this. It would mean everything, because as I just got crazy, I got crazy. Well, we'll give it a shot. We'll play a song, come back, call her and get your second date updates sort of.

I don't really know how to say, but we'll play a song, come back, see if we can get her to go out with your son again. Okay, thank you, thank you. Looking jubil in the morning, se I'm having kind of a difficult time trying to figure out how to do today's second date update. If you're just joining us. Barbara is on the phone. Barbara's son Jeremy, went out on a date with this girl named Nicole. While he was on the date, Barbara kind of freaked out because

her son wasn't home yet. It was like two o'clock in the morning, so she was blowing up his phone and then finally posted on his Facebook page, has anybody seen Jeremy? I think he might be hurt. I don't know, you know, looking for his son and it embarrassed him and apparently the date saw it. So when he got home that night, he yelled at his mom saying that

she screwed up his date with this girl. The problem that I'm having Barbara is I need to figure out exactly how to do it at the beginning when I get this girl on the phone, because normally I'll be like, hey, you know, you went on a date with Jeff and he wants to get a hold of you. Now it's like, hey, you went on a date with Jeremy and his mom's on the phone and wants I don't want to blow up your spot real quick, because that's probably going to creep her out even more if she knows that you're

on the other line right away. Yeah, if you could maybe kind of warm her up a bit for you and Barbara, I didn't get it. Did you ever meet this girl? No? Oh god, so she has no idea even who you are. I mean, yeah, I guess all right? You ready to make the phone call? Ready as I'll ever be here? Here we go. Hello, can I speak to Nicole? Please? This isn't Nicoll. Hey Nicole, how are you? This is Jewil from Brook and Jewel in the Morning. Excuse me, this is Jewil from Brook and Jewel in

the Morning radio show. I got an email about you. What. Yeah, you recently went out on a date with a guy named Jeremy. Yeah, and I got an email because apparently you're not calling Jeremy back. I'm just kind of curious. Can you tell me why your date didn't go very well with Jeremy. We have a nice time, but it was kind of weird. His mom, I seemed to be like really concerned where he was. She just kept like calling him, and she actually posted on his Facebook asking

if anyone knew where he was. And that was just a little maybe just a little too much for me. Kind of killed it when his mom kept bugging him. Yeah, because I looked on Facebook. He went to the bathroom and I just went on Facebook and I saw the post and I brought it up to him and he immediately changed she I could tell you super embarrassed. But then he was just like really short with me, and it was it got a little awkward. And were you

guys just out at a bar or something at this point. Yeah. Yeah, we'd just been hanging out, kind of getting to know each other for a couple hours and then his mom kind of got involved. But tell you, I mean you could see it also as this guy has a really good relationship with his mother, which is a positive. Yeah, I think that's great. I like, I have a great relationship with my mom. I would hope that everyone gets

to have a good relationship with their mom. But if I want to be in the middle of that is another I think I ask you a question, Nicole. If you were out on a date and your mom started doing that on your Facebook, what would you do. I'd probably do just what he did. He was super embarrassed. I'd be really embarrassed. I'd probably shut down and not really know how to deal with it. Luckily my mom wouldn't do that. Yeah, so how did you guys end

the night? Then? Um, it felt a little abrupt because we were in the middle kind of of chatting and getting to know each other, and then I brought that up to him and it was kind of late anyway, So I think mutually we both kind of found a reason to call it a night. Not long after, he hasn't sent you any text messages trying to call you anything. There have been a few here and there. I mean, you know, my schedule, it has been really busy, so

it's been kind of hard to like keep track of. Yeah, that's what everyone says when they don't want to go out with somebody, Nicole, I have somebody on the other line that wants to talk to you. What do you mean he's not on the phone, is he Jeremy? Yeah, No, Jeremy isn't on the phone. His mom, Barbara is No. Yeah, she wanted to talk to you and see if she could smooth things over. Barbara. Oh, I'm here. Hello, Hi, Nicole. This is Barbara, otherwise known as the ever dreaded helicopter Mom.

And I get it. I understand. I just went somewhere in my brain that I should have never gone, and I'm really calling to apologize to you. Jeremy doesn't know I'm making this call, and I'm hoping it kind of stays that way, but I just felt so so horrible because I know he really found you lovely. Barbara. I appreciate it you reaching out. I can tell that you're a very loving, an attentive mother, and you raised a wonderful man and I really enjoyed getting to know him.

But I don't I'm not sure that, regardless of what part you played, if it was really going to work out with us. Nicole. Seriously, I understand, I understand that you're not a mom, and and if you're ever lucky enough to be a mother. Trust me when I tell you, you will look back on this and go uh huh. I promise you. I promise you. He's that boy. You know, he still lives with me. I generally know where he is at all times. But it's my son. I make

him lunch every day to this day. This is my boy, Barbara. You might want to stop a little bit. You're making him sound like he's fifteen. No, no, no, no, it's just you really really have to be a mom to see it from my point of view. And I understand. I understand why you're saying what you're saying. But what I'd like to do is make Micole understand it from my point of view. It's it's a mom thing. Oh God, I hope not. I really hope not. I understand where

you're coming from, Barbara, I do. I just think that maybe from why you're telling me, you're sim and I are in different places. I think that we're coming from different environments at this point, and I don't know that it's compatible. I mean, Nicole, please, I was I mean, how is your mother when you got your period? Wasn't she there for you? Be sure she was there for me? But that was also ten years ago. It doesn't change. It doesn't change. It needs to change. Barbara needs to change.

I'm an adult. I'm twenty one, and my mom raised me and trusts me and knows that at the end of the day, if I need her, I will call her. But otherwise I am making my way as a person. And I hear you, your mom me every mom on the planet. When you don't know what your child is or where your child is, you get a little nutty. They get to be on him. This is from the mom heart. All right, well, I'm glad you were able

to get that out. Barbara. Now comes the important question. Okay, Nicole, would you like to go out with her son Jeremy one more time? I will pay for a second date for you guys. I'm sorry, Barbara. I don't see this going anywhere, and I would rather appreciate our one date for what it was. I don't think that there's a second Nicole. You know, Nicole again, I hear what you're saying. I understand that you've said no, but I am going to go out on a limb so far because of

what an extraordinary young man that Jeremy is. I will host a beautiful, beautiful dinner. I will do all the cooking. I will stay out of it, I will clean, I will do everything. Just give this young man the chance that he deserves. Please absolutely not. I know you're missing out on a really good one here, Nicole. I'm sure that I am all right. Nicole, thank you for your time. I appreciate it, of course. Barbara, I'm sorry that that didn't work out for you. Well. I thank you for

trying in the future. I do have a suggestion for you for your son. Yea, they make these like little chips you can put in pets. You can find them everywhere. Get your son chipped and then you don't have to go on Facebook the morning. Boy. You know, he still lived with me. I generally know where he is at all times, but it's my son. I make him lunch every day to this day. Wow. A lot of text messages coming in at seven, eight, five, nine two saying

cut the umbilical cord. It's Brooke and Jewel in the morning. If you missed the second date update that we just aired, a mom named Barbara wanted to call a girl named Nicole because Nicole went out with her son and during their date. Barbara didn't know where her son was. It was nearly two o'clock in the morning and he wasn't home yet, so she was blowing up his phone and then started posting on his Facebook wall like as anybody's seen my boy. And Nicole saw all that, it was like, Wow,

this mom is way too into her kid's life. The kid is twenty one, not twelve. He is an adult. Yeah, so crazy. He needs to move out of his mom's house. A sound like somebody find that guy a job to give him some sort of like move in with another family. I don't know if she's making his lunch as you know, she's also doing his laundry everything, you know, every which means he is going to be a nightmare to date

because he has never actually done his own dishes. So the mom wanted to get the girl on the phone to apologize for blowing up the phone and blowing up his Facebook and making things awkward on the date because her son came home very angry at his mom. Apparently storm yelled at her and then stormed off to his room, which sounds like he's not really actually an adult. Yeah,

and he ruined everything. Mom slams the door. Text in at seven eight five Nights who says, you guys should have Mom's call in more often for second date updates. That was extremely awkward. I am abnormally close with my mother and she wouldn't even do something like that. Another text in at seven eight five Nights who says the second date update is the best birth control ever. And then another person said, oh my god, it's not a mom thing. I would hate to be her son. Yeah,

a little too wrapped up in her kid's life. I think remember if you want a second date update, whether you're a mom, a grandmother, a great aunt, whatever, it doesn't matter. I have to do an email. The show Brook and Jewel at move nine two five dot com. We will call the person who didn't call you back.
