Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Unusual First Date Requests

[03:47 – 06:39]

• Natella’s Dating Profile: It features a voice prompt stating, “All I ask is that you don’t have a beard.”
• Unique Request Fulfilled: Despite having a beard in his pictures, Michael (her match) agrees to shave his beard at her request, surprising the hosts.
  • Notable Quote:
    • Jeffrey (about the request):
      • “Women usually don’t get the say over a man’s entire, like, look and appearance and wardrobe until, like, a year or two into the relationship.” [07:19]
    • Alexis:
      • “Oh, that happens a lot earlier than that. We just do it a little more subtly than you realize!” [07:27]

2. Natella’s Golden Retriever Persona

[07:46 – 12:05]

• Dating Profile Description: Natella compares dating her to “having a human version of a golden retriever.” She claims to be “always happy to see you, will smother you with attention and affection, and once in a while, I nibble.”
• The Date:
  • They met for wine and discussed paddleboarding and, humorously, their favorite pharmacies.
  • At the end of the date, Natella attempted to be playful by rubbing her nose on Michael’s cheek and referencing her golden retriever persona (her “nibble”).
  • The hosts express doubts about such strong commitment to the bit, with Brooke joking about unwanted “dog behavior” on dates.

3. Date Debrief: Michael’s Perspective

[12:44 – 16:36]

• Michael’s Account:
  • Natella’s dog act was much more (and weirder) than she let on.
    • She lapped wine from her glass with her tongue “like a dog,”
    • Played a “panting” guessing game to indicate how much she liked Michael,
    • Rubbed her wet nose (cause for confusion: “don’t know how it got wet!”) against his cheek.
  • Michael found this excessive, saying, “...there were good parts of our conversation. It’s just other parts were significantly weirder.” [17:18–17:24]
• The hosts and Michael agree that the "golden retriever" joke and persona went too far for a first date.

4. Natella’s Commitment & Hosts’ Interventions

[16:46 – 18:20]

• Natella, when confronted, cheerfully doubles down:
  • “I wouldn’t even know how to back down. I am a golden retriever. That’s who I am.” [18:09]
• The hosts gently suggest maybe she should date within a community that shares her humor or interests.

5. Second Date Decision

[19:20 – 19:36]

• The hosts offer to pay for a second date. Natella enthusiastically accepts (“My tail’s wagging!” [18:54]), while Michael, after some playful host prodding, declines: “I gotta be really honest. I don’t know if our weirds are matching up.” [19:33]
• Alexis quips, “He’s a cat person now!” as Michael politely refuses.

6. Host Reactions & Reflections

[21:18 – 22:29]

• The hosts reflect on the episode’s awkwardness and the importance of finding someone whose “weird” matches yours.
• Jeffrey closes with a signature dramatic flourish, “It’s calls like these that make me think God is going to do another biblical flood soon and start the human race over from scratch.” [22:12]

What do you do when things get tough? You don't give up. You stand your ground. If you've been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer and have tried hormone therapy, ask your doctor about Pluvicto. Lutetium Lu177Vipivatide Tetrexitan Pluvicto is not chemotherapy. It's a different treatment that targets PSMA positive cells. Pluvicto can be used before chemotherapy for some people. Pluvicto is a prescription treatment used to treat adults with prostate specific membrane antigen positive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer or PSMA positive MCRPC who have already been treated with hormone therapy and are considered appropriate to delay chemotherapy. Blue Victo involves contact with radioactivity which may increase the risk for cancer and cause fetal harm. Drink plenty of fluids, urinate often, use contraception and talk to your doctor about ways to reduce the risk of exposing others to radiation. During and after treatment, Pluvicto can cause low levels of blood cell counts, kidney problems and infertility. Tell your doctor if you have weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, bleeding, bruising more easily, an infection, or changes in urination. Side effects include decreased blood cell counts, tiredness, dry mouth, nausea, appetite loss, joint or back pain, and constipation. Ask your doctor about Pluvicto, because every day without cancer progression is a victory. Visit pluvicto.com to learn more.

So let me get this straight. Your company has data here, there, and everywhere, but your AI can't use the data because it's here, there, and everywhere? Seems like something's missing. Every business has unique data. IBM helps your AI access your data wherever it lives. To change how you do business, let's create smarter business.

[Jeffrey]

IBM.

[Medical Advertiser]

It's here.

[Alexis]

We made it. The top 10 second dates of 2025. And you know, you know it's a big deal if Jeffrey came into the studio for the intro.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah. I'm getting paid extra to do this, right?

[Alexis]

You're not. Oh, sorry, Jess. Yeah. You're contractually obligated to be here with us and to have some fun. So we're counting down top 10, and we're at number 10 today.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

All right, well, I'll put half effort into telling you. What are you willing to do for someone before a first date? You willing to clean your apartment? Maybe buy a new outfit? Break up with your husband? Perhaps Brooke would give that last one some major consideration. But today, one of our listeners made a big ask a request we'd never heard before telling a guy if he wanted any shot at going out with her, he'd have to do this first.

[Alexis]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

And we could not believe he actually went through with it. You're going to hear it in your number 10 second date update of the year.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

Enjoy.

[Jeffrey]

Second date update. Is it okay to request something on a first date request?

[Alexis]

Like what? Like a restaurant you like or like.

[Jeffrey]

Some girls may want to request you pay for the Uber home. Or guys might request that you split the bill with them.

[Alexis]

Okay. And I know money.

[Jeffrey]

I always request complete and total anonymity.

[Alexis]

What?

[Jeffrey]

That's why I wear a lucha libre mask when I meet them at the gas station. Cuz I will not be sharing my real identity with you. And you have to be okay with that.

[Brooke]

Jeff Mysterio.

[Alexis]

Yeah, you really need to change up that mask because everybody knows it.

[Jeffrey]

Now the thing is everybody, everybody has their thing. And our listener, Natella, not Nutella. Natella says she has a request in her dating profile and isn't sure if maybe it caused a problem with her getting another hangout. So let's welcome to the show Natella.

[Natella]

Hi, guys.

[Alexis]

It seems like if it was in your dating profile, it would be hard to get the first hangout, not a second one. That was my thought, too.

[Brooke]

Literally spelled out.

[Natella]

Well, yeah. There's a part there that you can put your voice prompt and you can record your answers.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Instead of just, like, typing it out, they can actually hear what you sound like.

[Commercial Voice]

99.9% of the time. They're bad.

[Jeffrey]

But I'm sure that's not the case with nuts.

[Alexis]

No, I'm sure not.

[Natella]

I mean, you guys tell me the prompt. It says, all I ask is that you. And then my answer is, all I ask is that you don't have a beard.

[Alexis]

Don't have a beard?

[Jeffrey]

No beard.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

A beard.

[Jeffrey]

Why?

[Brooke]

Even if a guy did have a beard, if he liked you enough, he just shave it off.

[Jeffrey]

Is there a reason? It's very specific.

[Natella]

I just don't like the beard. I mean, kissing a guy with the beard. I've done it before.

[Michael]

And what about you?

[Alexis]

Jeff is literally playing with his beard as he's talking to you. And just stop.

[Natella]

No.

[Alexis]

To be fair, my roommate right now has a. Like, a breakout from making out the guy with a beard. Like, give her blisters. How hard does she push against somebody's face while she's coming out? I don't know. I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

Not good. Okay, so you don't like being stabbed in the mouth with somebody's facial hair.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Natella]

Super uncomfortable. It's not something I'm into. So, you know, I asked that the guy who responded, please don't have a beard, and of course the guy who responded has a beard.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well.

[Brooke]

And it goes to show, we don't always read. We just say, she's beautiful.

[Alexis]

Wait, hold on. That's on you, then. To not go out with them if you don't like the beard because you can see his picture, right?

[Natella]

Yeah. But I did ask him if he wanted to go out with me if he could shave it off, and he actually shaved it off when I brought that up.

[Brooke]

I was kidding. Most guys takes forever to grow a beard.

[Alexis]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

So that was the request that you made of him before your date started is you cannot have a beard when we meet up.

[Commercial Voice]

And he shaved her.

[Jeffrey]

And he actually did it.

[Natella]

He did.

[Alexis]

Were you able to recognize him?

[Jeffrey]

You know, what's his name?

[Natella]

His name is Michael. Okay. I was actually pretty impressed that he even did it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I know. Women usually don't get the say over a man's entire, like, look and appearance and wardrobe until, like, a Year or two into the relationship.

[Alexis]

Oh, that happens a lot earlier than that. Yeah, we just do it a little bit more subtly than you realize. The fact that finally, a year later, you're like, wait, everything's changed.

[Jeffrey]

Everybody now. But the fact that he did that before the date even started, that. That speaks a lot.

[Natella]

Right.

[Alexis]

For him, liking you.

[Jeffrey]

So what else happened on the date?

[Natella]

Yes, we continue to talk about my profile because he did mention another part that I have on there, and what it says is, dating me is like having a human version of a golden retriever. I'm always happy to see you. I will smother you with attention and affection. And once in a while, I nibble.

[Brooke]

Oh, they're gonna say pee on the carpet.

[Alexis]

I thought she was going with humping a leg.

[Medical Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

All right. So I guess a lot of the date was talking about your dating profile then.

[Natella]

Yeah, yeah, we did talk a lot about my profile. He didn't really get to see a lot of pictures of me because you're allowed to put six pictures, and I actually ended up putting five of the same exact picture.

[Commercial Voice]

Is that.

[Alexis]

I would think if I saw that on a dating app, I'd be like, oh, it looks like a bot. Why do you do that?

[Natella]

Yeah, guys do. Like, a little mystery. Sometimes girls say a little too much in their profiles.

[Alexis]

Okay, so did he compliment you on how you looked when he met you?

[Natella]

Yeah, he said he really liked my dress, and he was really impressed with how long my hair was. I guess he couldn't tell from the one picture.

[Brooke]

Okay, please tell me you wore the same outfit from that picture.

[Jeffrey]

Well, he just shaved his beard, so hair length is very top of mind. He's like, wow, so long.

[Commercial Voice]

Wow.

[Brooke]

You got to keep yours, huh?

[Jeffrey]

Take forever to grow that. Okay, so aside from all the physical stuff that we've been talking about, did you have a good personal connection with Michael? Like, what did you guys actually do?

[Natella]

So, yeah, we went to grab some wine at this really nice spot I know about, and we talked about paddleboarding and pharmacies.

[Jeffrey]

Pharmacies.

[Natella]

We talked about our favorite ones because not all of them are nice.

[Alexis]

That's true.

[Brooke]

That's true.

[Alexis]

The one by my house. The shelves are literally empty. It's so weird.

[Medical Advertiser]

Oh, my God.

[Alexis]

Mine is too sketchy. It's so weird. I know what you're talking about. This place. It's really weird.

[Brooke]

My pharmacy is not like that at all.

[Alexis]

It's more of a conversation starter than people.

[Jeffrey]

All the guys are buying up all shaving equipment, so there's nothing left so that they can go out with Nutella here. I'm surprised he's not calling you back because most of our pharmacy centric dates that we've had before on the show, they always work out. So how did you and Michael leave it?

[Natella]

Well, I asked him. I said, hey, like, you don't want to let me give you my golden retriever a little nibble?

[Alexis]

Is that what you meant when I.

[Natella]

Rubbed my my nose on his cheek and he didn't like it?

[Alexis]

He didn't like it.

[Medical Advertiser]

What?

[Jeffrey]

What's wrong with this guy?

[Brooke]

You're nudging him with your nose. I'd be like, get off.

[Alexis]

Did you really do that? I thought she was joking.

[Natella]

Well, I asked him, I said, do you want me to give you the golden retriever? And I thought he would like it, but he didn't think it was cute at all. I think I scared him.

[Alexis]

I guess you were, like, trying to do an inside joke thing. It just fell flat. Yeah, unfortunately. Was that the only, like, awkward moment?

[Natella]

Not that I could think of, but there could have been.

[Jeffrey]

Well, let's see what he has to say when we call him. I don't know if he's gon up, but if he does, we're going to ask him some very important questions.

[Alexis]

Yeah, we'll give him the golden retriever.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Why does it sound dirty?

[Brooke]

Definitely humping involved.

[Jeffrey]

I kind of like. I can't do a golden retriever, though, in my lucha libre mask. So I have to figure out a different golden retriever move I can pull. Let's figure that out when we come back and call Michael for your second date update. Right after this second date update. It's the question every man is dying to hear at the end of a first date.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

What's that?

[Jeffrey]

So you want me to give you the golden retriever? She rubs her wet nose all over your soft, beardless cheeks.

[Alexis]

I don't know, but I wanted to get labradoodled.

[Jeffrey]

But that's what our listener Natella actually did on her first date with a guy named Michael. It was supposed to be like a playful, humorous thing. Cuz in her dating profile, she describes herself as a human golden retriever.

[Alexis]

And I mean, when you set up like that, it sounds funny. It sounds like a funny moment. You know, it kind of sucks that he didn't take it very well.

[Jeffrey]

We don't know. The nose rub move could be the reason Michael's been a little avoidant. But Brooke, you're usually rubbing stuff in the first five minutes of meeting a Guy. Does anything else stand out to you?

[Alexis]

I don't know. I mean, it could honestly be that you only put one picture up on your hinge account, and so maybe she.

[Brooke]

Looks a little different.

[Alexis]

I mean, it could backfire. Yeah, maybe you just weren't what he was expecting. Expecting?

[Brooke]

Yeah, he's expecting a black lab and got a golden retriever.

[Jeffrey]

What do you think of that, Nutella?

[Natella]

I don't know. I think I really scared him a little bit with my nose, kid.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay.

[Alexis]

I think that that should be fine. I think if a man. You would. Yeah, actually, you would.

[Commercial Voice]

Never mind.

[Natella]

Yeah, I'm not gonna ask the question.

[Alexis]

I mean, maybe he just doesn't have a good sense of humor, and then you don't want to date him.

[Brooke]

Like, what? You're a dog, I'm a walrus.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe he has intimacy issues. And that was too fast. Like, he doesn't kiss till the third date. Okay, and the nose rubbing, it went a little bit quick.

[Brooke]

There are guys that do not kiss.

[Alexis]

There's no base for nose rubbing. It wasn't a kiss.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe in his mind.

[Alexis]

It's kind of like a bunt to me. You know, if we're gonna do a baseball analog. Why does no one think it's weird?

[Jeffrey]

I'm just saying everybody has different standards when it comes to physical touch and intimacy. So let's call him. We'll see if he answers, and we'll pick his brain a little bit.

[Medical Advertiser]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

And I don't mean that sexually, Brooke, so get that out of your mind.

[Medical Advertiser]

Okay.

[Alexis]

I mean it that way.

[Jeffrey]

All right, here we go.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Michael]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Michael?

[Michael]

Yeah, I was speaking.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, man. My name is Jeff from a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and the whole show is here. What's up, Michael?

[Brooke]

Good morning.

[Alexis]

Yeah, we heard a little bit about a date you went on.

[Michael]

Oh, this is kind of weird.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, Brooke coming on a little bit stronger. We're already scaring him.

[Brooke]

We heard about your dating life, so we hunted you down.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, no.

[Alexis]

What else are you supposed to say? How are you?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, like normal people. But look, Michael, we're doing a segment on our show. It's called the Second Date Update. I don't know if you've ever heard of that before.

[Michael]

Actually, I think I have heard of that, but something like a podcast or something?

[Brooke]

Yeah, they're really popular.

[Alexis]

Oh, we have a good podcast.

[Jeffrey]

Well, if you know who's doing that podcast, let us know so we can do a cease and desist, because that's not okay.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I think he's probably really upset about them.

[Alexis]

Probably talking about our podcast.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, maybe ours.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, ours was number three at one point.

[Medical Advertiser]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

But I'm calling you because one of our listeners said that she went out on a date with you and hasn't had a follow up since then. And she's kind of bummed about it, wants to know if there's a reason I'm talking about Nutella.

[Michael]

Oh, okay, I see where this has gone.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah, I remember.

[Alexis]

It's going to where you explain why you haven't called her back.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, hopefully.

[Michael]

Well, look, I'm not sure how much she told you guys, but it got a little weird.

[Brooke]

Oh, the dog thing?

[Jeffrey]

Well, yeah. What about it was weird to you? Because when we heard it, it all sounded very, very.

[Alexis]

Yeah. And there was some humor mixed in.

[Michael]

I guess I just heard someone say about the dog thing. So you've heard a little bit, I'm sure.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I mean, she told us that she likes to joke about herself as being like a human version of a golden retriever.

[Michael]

Oh, yeah.

[Alexis]

Cause she's happy. That's like, been trendy the past year.

[Michael]

Yeah, you guys have no idea what we're talking about, the golden retrievers in general, because it was on a profile and out of nowhere she like puts the. Her nose on the edge of her wine glass and starts lapping her wine, like, as if it was like a dog.

[Alexis]

She was putting her tongue in the wine. Did her tongue reached the wine in the glass? If they filled it, A good fill. I mean, that's a nice bar. I'd like to know what bar she went to.

[Michael]

There's more, though. So after that I was already a little weirded out and she's like, wanna play games? I was like, sure, why not? She's like, you have to guess how much I like you. And she starts panting, like.

[Jeffrey]

Panting like a dog.

[Alexis]

And that was the indicator of how much she liked you is how much she was pan.

[Michael]

I'm not sure what the answer was, but she just like, panted harder. So I don't know, maybe that means she liked me more.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, was her tail wagging too behind her? Like, I don't understand, like, how far did this golden retriever joke go?

[Michael]

Well, there was another weird part which was basically she like, put her wet nose into my cheek and I don't even know how her nose got wet.

[Jeffrey]

See that? That was the part that we had heard and we thought it was good.

[Alexis]

That's good though. Cause a wet nose does indicate she's healthy.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Why is it wet?

[Jeffrey]

She's had all of her shots. She's in good health.

[Alexis]

She told us that she knew that was a regrettable moment for her.

[Michael]

I thought she was going to pull out a leash.

[Jeffrey]

Well, okay, so you're. She took the golden retriever joke a little bit too far, but I don't think that should take away from the connection that you guys had because. Well, I mean, was she a good girl? She said that she liked him. I can't hear her panting on the other line, so I don't know how much exactly, but she is waiting to talk to you.

[Medical Advertiser]

Speak.

[Brooke]

Sit.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, man.

[Michael]

Are you joking right now?

[Jeffrey]

No, I forgot to tell you. She's listening on the other. On the other phone.

[Alexis]

Oh, great.

[Jeffrey]

Nutella, are you there?

[Natella]

Hi. Hi.

[Michael]

Hi.

[Jeffrey]

Coming in pretty normal.

[Medical Advertiser]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Alexis]

I bet you're a little embarrassed.

[Natella]

He doesn't have embarrassed. Wait, what?

[Jeffrey]

Nutella, he. He was saying that you maybe took the golden retriever stuff a little bit too far for his liking.

[Natella]

Yeah, but he also didn't tell you that we had a really good connection. Like, we talked about paddleboarding a lot. And remember our conversation about the pharmacies, Michael? Wasn't that great?

[Michael]

Yeah, I mean, look, there was good parts of our conversation. It's just other parts were, like, significantly weirder.

[Brooke]

Significantly?

[Natella]

I don't know what you thought was weird. I'm guessing from what I'm listening is that you thought the dog thing was weird. But you have to understand, like, where I'm coming from, golden retrievers, they're, like, sweet, and they're loyal, and, you know, they're playful.

[Alexis]

Nobody ever says, yeah, look at that hot golden retriever. Yeah.

[Natella]

Okay, well, think about this. Like, you can't have a golden retriever without the girl, and you can't have a girl without the golden retriever. You see?

[Alexis]

Are you saying that you're always a dog?

[Natella]

It's my profile, Michael. It's what it says on there. I have to live it up.

[Jeffrey]

He's not.

[Brooke]

He didn't memorize the profile.

[Alexis]

So you're not willing to back down on the dog stuff?

[Natella]

I wouldn't even know how to back down. I am a golden retriever. That's who I am.

[Jeffrey]

She's learned. Sit, stay, but not back down is one of the commands yet, so. All right. Okay.

[Brooke]

I'm starting to kind of see. Would you like more than a.

[Jeffrey]

She takes. She takes it very, very seriously.

[Alexis]

Maybe it's, like, kind of convenient. It's like a girlfriend and a pet.

[Commercial Voice]

All wrapped up in One.

[Brooke]

Hey, you can eat peanut butter together on the couch.

[Jeffrey]

Is that something that would be appealing to you, Michael, in a relationship? Because if it is, we would offer to pay for another date with Natella. Or actually, maybe I should ask her first. Nutella, is that something that you'd be up for?

[Natella]

Yes, I would. Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]
