All right, it's Mojo in the Morning.

It's the second date update. I'm Mojo in the Morning.

All right, second date update. Why are you not getting a call back after you went on a date? Brandon is getting ghosted and wants to figure out what the reasoning is. Brandon, how long has it been since you guys have actually talked to each other or text each other? Like two and a half weeks now. Okay, so it's been a little bit. We're going to find out some answers for you on what's going on, okay? On the phone with us is Maya. Maya, are you there?

Hi, I'm here.

Maya, will you say hello to Brandon?

Hi, Brandon.

Hi, Maya.

Maya, listen to how down this guy sounds. He sounds so down because he's been trying to get a hold of you. You've seen that he's reached out to you, right?

Mm-hmm.

and he wants to know what's going on, are you willing to tell him what's up? Are you in another relationship, or were you just not happy with the date that you guys went on?

I mean, okay, you want to know. I'll tell you.

Brandon, you want to know, right? Okay, go ahead. You were on the date. What happened?

Yeah, we went on a date. I'm sure he told you. But when we went to dinner, he was paying the bill. And they told him that the credit card had a woman's name on it.

Okay. Okay.

Yeah, so they made him call his mom because she let him have the credit card because he didn't have one himself.

Oh, okay. Brandon, that was your mom's credit card that you used?

Okay. That's funny. Yes, it was my mom's credit card. That wasn't really supposed to happen. I have my own credit card. And if this is like a financial stability thing, I am financially stable. But I'm trying to get my mom points so that she can go on a vacation. Okay.

I love points. I don't believe you. I got to give a point for creativity and thinking on his toes.

How old are you, Brandon? I'm 28. Okay, so you're 28 years old, and you were using your mom's credit card, and your reasoning for using it was that you were trying to get points for your mom.

Sure, sure, sure, sure.

And then what? You were going to pay her back?

I mean, yeah. No. It's like something that's been going on the last, like, month, but she really wants to go on a trip.

Okay. Here's what I would do if I were you. Which by the way That's a creative reasoning of why you're using it I would just be honest and say I don't have a credit card And my mom let me use the credit card Is that more of the story Or are you trying to

No this is actually the story This is the story Yeah I guess I should have said that On the date I do have a credit card

Well then if that's the case Maya go out On another date with him and use his mom's credit card again. Is that a bad thing? Would it be bad if you went on a date with a guy and the guy pulled out a...

credit card that was not his he was using somebody else's credit card that would be bad

oh my gosh yes very very very but what if it was there's nothing that you you could say that really i know you're you're searching your brain no but i i'm saying but what i mean

like because he's not financial he doesn't have any financial stuff i'm assuming you stole it

second thing second if we're calling that oh if your name isn't on the card that's a first thing I'm assuming just right off the bat. And then on top of that, say we call your mom, I immediately go, we shouldn't have gone on this date if you can't pay for it.

Your mom, when you called, was cool with it, right? Maya, obviously it went through.

I mean, yeah, but I think the point remains, like, I'm not even sure. That just doesn't sound like a real answer.

Why don't we do this? Why don't we, Brandon, get your mom's number, I'll put you on hold, let Lydia call your mom up, and we call your mom up to see if this was a true story, okay? And if it's truth to it, then it's a legitimate reason of why you're using your mom's credit card, okay? Okay. All right, hold on one second. I'm going to put you on hold for a second.

He's not protesting it. It's probably the story.

Lydia's going to grab it. Maya, hold on. Lydia's going to grab that. uh destiny what's going on it's mojo in the morning hi good morning guys morning hi what

are your thoughts so my comment my comment's more is she is she more upset because she thought there was another woman like maybe he was still seeing someone else had a girlfriend who's just trying to be be slick or was it because is that the reason or is it because you were afraid he was he's not financially stable and he is still staying with mom maya which what's the reasoning

why you're upset i mean i just think it's pretty childish and immature like i i i think it's fair to want a man that's financially stable and not relying on his mom you know i i think that's kind of baseline he's 28 you know yeah oh absolutely reasonable yeah but it's like how do you draw

that conclusion on one date that he's not financially stable and because he didn't use his own money i mean i i get that maybe he lost his car i'm just saying how do you go straight

to the he's broke lydia says that he oh no he's he's having issues finding his mom's phone yeah uh jen what's going on it's mojo in the morning hi jen

hi so i disagree this man still found a way to pay one way or another

Hey, what, what do we have against, uh, what do they call them when they're, uh, mama's boys or rich, rich, uh, kids, uh, rich, uh, kid, parent, uh, kids of rich parents. What do they call it? Uh, no, it's, uh, I forget what the word is. Oh, there's a term for it. Something.

I don't know what you're thinking of. That man found a way. He's innovating, okay? He's making it happen.

Who cares, right? This is going to be a guy who probably will forever have his mom paying for his bills.

I know, but that to me would also be a red flag of like the umbilical cord is never going to be cut.

What's up, Eric?

Yeah, no, if the verdict comes back that it's not for points and that he was just using his mom's money, I guess she passes the code that she's not a gold digger test.

that's a good one yeah no i i'll be honest with you she's she actually is pretty legit she wants a guy that's a little bit more stable what's going on how you doing melissa

megan's point if you cannot afford to take a girl on a date that's the last thing that should be on your mind right because you shouldn't be trying to do that but i mean at the same point listening to the other people you know if he did whatever he could to make it happen and then if his mom allowed him to do that as well that means he and his mom have a good relationship so that is a bonus you know if his mom are you know close and yeah i just feel like if we don't do this on

the first date even if that was the case do not do it on the first date fill up your gas tank on the way to the date buy your flowers on the way to the date whatever it is do all of that stuff but as soon as you're sitting in front of her we don't pull out mom's credit card so if y'all

telling me yeah you can't even yeah you can't even afford the first date that's bad yeah even the first date that's bad i i want you to stay on the line too because i want to get your perspective on this and the ladies on the show as well y'all telling me if let's say bobby peterson a random person billionaire but you know the family got money and the boy does not have a job and you know all of his money comes from the family that's the problem for y'all y'all wouldn't date this billionaire son because all of his money comes from daddy and by the way 734 thank you you're

The first one they got through.

nepo babies that's what i was trying to think oh okay as a nepo baby you guys have heard that

before i thought nepo baby was like you got a job because of your parents yeah same you got money

you got everything you got a credit card that by the way kev what you said is different to me

trust fund baby different than guy from you know how's it different and trust fund baby is another

class in that has how's it how we're living different lives because that they don't have a

job they don't have anything also in that case you have your own credit cards even still the

The difference is the financial stability part. That's the difference.

Y'all want the rich guy that has the same problem.

No, I don't like that guy either. If you don't have a passion or motivation or something you're working towards, I'm not interested either. That's not what I'm hearing.

Ryan.

You don't care.

What's up, Ryan?

Hey, good morning. How are you doing?

Good. What's going on?

Yeah, she got a free meal. She's still complaining. You women really don't know what you want.

No. I just want somebody that I don't have to worry about. if you're connected to your parents financially. I don't feel like that's a big deal. If the role was reversed and I said I'd use my dad's credit card for something, everybody would be up my butthole being like, be an independent grown-ass woman before you decide to do this. I don't understand why people are defending him.

Back in the day, Fletch used to use his mom's credit card all the time. Nor it's true. Yeah, we had no problem with it. And by the way, everybody's giving me Nepo Baby, Trust Fund Baby.

Trust Fund Baby is better.

And then, well, I think this is also Nepo-y, too, in this case. And Christina wants to comment on what Kev said. What's that, Christina?

Okay, so that's a totally different situation. For one, if you're a billionaire, let's be freaking real. And second of all, if you are a trust fund baby, you're going to have your own card in your name. Exactly.

You're not going to use your mom's card.

You have your own account.

I don't think it's different. But I do believe what Ryan said is true.

The whole situation is weird as heck.

But what Ryan said is true. There has always got to be a complaint from somebody about it. And I feel like, hey, the guy paid the meal. It's not like he said. It would be worse if he said, hey, I don't have any money. We got to run as soon as they leave the table. So the guy still took care of it. And whether he's lying to us, obviously, we couldn't get his mom on the phone. Or he's telling us the truth that he's getting points for his mom.

It's not that we couldn't get his mom on the phone. He couldn't find his mom's number. But he found the number at the restaurant.
