First date with a good prospect tonight - would it be funny right after we sit down to say
‘Are you cool with me dialing my mom in on speaker?’ Then ‘I might also conference my therapist in after we order’
It made me giggle thinking about it while running yesterday..

You're better off talking about the mile splits of the run you did.
i cringed reading this. do not recommend.
make sure you find a way to bring up your PRs (assuming they're good...you're posting on this website after all) and your salary of course.
I much prefer a softer joke
You: "I think we have a mutual friend. Do you know Dee?"
Her: "Dee who?"
You (while standing up and unbuttoning your pants): "DEEZ NUTS!!!"
Almost anything can be funny. It's all in the delivery.

Good point
Phraseology and brevity too
I think we need to know a little more about the OPs date
Some pics would be helpful
And some pics of mom too
Tell that n-word joke like Michael Scott did that required him to do sensitivity training.

He better bring condoms cause she will be ready to go after hearing this one.
That would be your " Last date joke".

That actually could be funny, if said with a dry delivery. I'd go with just one of those (pick one, both is too much) then pause. Wait through a brief uncomfortable silence watching the reaction, then... *laughs.* (hopefully)
It could be funny, in someone with a sense of humor. But not everyone has a sense of humor. This is one way to find out.
I had an ex-GF who remained a friend. Told her I had a first date with someone...she texted that I should compliment her breasts on the date. The date went well enough that I actually showed my date the text. And we dated for a few years.

OP, funny isn't your forte from the sounds of it. Just be nice

Yeah, all in the "delivery."
If Ryan Gosling did this on a date, it would be perceived as hilarious.
Go all in on the mom part. Order a to go meal for her. On second thought you live at home so that is really the joke.
Sounds pretty funny to me. I'd also suggest ordering for her, and if she complains just explain it's because your palate is much more refined than hers. Women love this.
You'll get the fake laugh. But they'll go home saying "that's a red flag". Don't do it!
Nothing like crowbarring in a bad joke to make a great first impression. I would recommend having a conversation and actually listening to what your date says.

So, your joke needs a re-write.
Good start with mentioning that you want to bring your mom in on the date, maybe make it sound just routine, you know, just in case she has any questions or suggestions for you or your date. Give the vibe that you don't want your mom to feel left out. Pull out phone to start dialing...then go for the laugh and say, "Just kidding, can you imagine.....
(She laughs, maybe smiles. Don't worry, she'll laugh later and maybe share it with her best friend.)
Then dead pan, say "But seriously, I do need to bring my therapist in, I just don't want things to get weird and I really trust what he says..."
Laugh again, put phone off and away and order some drinks.
