Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack, and I've stumbled across a crazy date story.
Speaker A:I thought I had some crazy first dates, but this poor lady.
Speaker A:So she's been talking to this guy for about a month or so.
Speaker A:You know, they've been texting, building chemistry, probably overanalyzing emojis like we all do.
Speaker A:And she finally goes on this date.
Speaker A:She's dressed up, she's pulling into the restaurant, she's feeling good.
Speaker A:Ding.
Speaker A:Text message.
Speaker A:And he says, hey, quick question.
Speaker A:Is it cool if my mom joins us?
Speaker A:She's in town.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker A:First of all, she's in town.
Speaker A:What is she, a touring comedian?
Speaker A:You catch her this weekend at the Grove.
Speaker A:Like, and, and so anyway, this.
Speaker A:This poor lady tells him, yeah, which tells me that she's polite and that dating has gone so badly, she's like, eh, what else can go wrong?
Speaker A:So anyway, she goes in and somehow apparently this dinner goes pretty well, which seems crazy to me.
Speaker A:Can you imagine showing up to a first date and they just spring on you at the last moment?
Speaker A:Third person, and it's his mom.
Speaker A:And you know she's going to ask mom questions.
Speaker A:So what do you do for a living?
Speaker A:Do you want any children?
Speaker A:Do you have children?
Speaker A:Do you want more children?
Speaker A:Can you fix him?
Speaker A:The guy is sitting there like he.
Speaker A:He brought a reference check to dinner.
Speaker A:He's not even dating.
Speaker A:He's outsourcing dating at this point.
Speaker A:And where it goes off the rails even further is at the end of the night.
Speaker A:So this guy walks this poor lady to her car.
Speaker A:This is the moment, right?
Speaker A:This is when you say, oh, I had a great time.
Speaker A:I'd like to see you again.
Speaker A:The guy looks her dead in the eye and goes, so, what did you think of my mom?
Speaker A:Excuse me, sir.
Speaker A:I thought I was supposed to be on a date with you.
Speaker A:Why does it feel like I just completed the final round of a job interview?
Speaker A:She's polite.
Speaker A:She says, oh, she was nice.
Speaker A:And he says, good, because I can't date anyone who doesn't like her.
Speaker A:Oh, okay.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:So they're not dating.
Speaker A:This is America's next top daughter in law.
Speaker A:Can you imagine that pressure?
Speaker A:You're not worried about chemistry.
Speaker A:You're not.
Speaker A:You're.
Speaker A:You're thinking, oh, did I laugh at mom's stories?
Speaker A:Did I?
Speaker A:Should I have given her more compliments on her cardigan?
Speaker A:And you know, mom is judging her.
Speaker A:Moms don't just sit in.
Speaker A:She came with a scorecard.
Speaker A:Eye contact, good manners, acceptable.
Speaker A:She tolerates my son.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:That's concerning, but we'll monitor the situation.
Speaker A:So what is next is what I want to know.
Speaker A:They get ready for the next date.
Speaker A:Hey, do you mind if dad joins?
Speaker A:Also, my aunt is on zoom.
Speaker A:Look, I get it.
Speaker A:Wanting your partner to like your family is normal.
Speaker A:But that's a later problem, not a first date problem.
Speaker A:That's a we've been dating six months, let's see if you can survive Thanksgiving problem.
Speaker A:You don't open with that.
Speaker A:You don't start with, hey, meet my mom on the first date.
Speaker A:That's like starting a video game on the final boss.
