Asking For A Friend: My mother is 46 and brought home a 23-year-old

An anonymous listener recently sent ‘Breakfast with Martin Bester’ an email asking about his mom’s extreme age gap with a guy she "brought home".

According to the anonymous sender, his mom is 46 and she brought home a 23-year-old.

He added that he finds it “disgusting” and needs the help of Breakfast with Martin Bester and our listeners.

The responses were split, with many saying it is none of his business and others agreeing the age gap is too extreme.
