I tell gnarly stories and I talk to friends about their worst moments of bombing in all sorts of ways. Bombing on stage, bombing in public, bombing in life. I want to know what's the worst way they ever bombed or have they ever performed way too drunk or high or was there ever a time where they thought they were going to crush and they stunk it up. Listen to Bombing with Eric Andre on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

They all discovered that, much like humans, chickens are attracted to symmetrical faces. We're talking medical miracles.

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, the home of the second date update. And we do have a brand new second date to get to. But yesterday's Awkward Tuesday phone call really hit a nerve. Oh my gosh. Yeah, we got so many comments on our socials at Brooke and Jeffrey.

Up on the Spotify is just so many. And I love hearing your guys' reactions. A couple. This one says, sweet Joseph, husband of Mary, but not father of Jesus. What? The question remains, if her future husband knew about Jacob, maybe he would change his mind about it.

Ooh. But like, I'm sorry, even me, I was like, when were you gonna tell him? Louisa Olivas wrote us and said, I feel so bad for Jacob. You're better than her Jacob And I love this one from Danny. I'm so sorry for Jacob made me want to get there and drink with him I live in Colombia Thanks for being with us thanks for subscribing for liking for liking, for doing all the things, for sharing the show,

and definitely for commenting. We love you guys. All right, let's get you to your brand new second date update. It starts right now. Second date update. Is it OK to request something on a first date? Like what? Like a restaurant you like?

Like some girls may want to request you pay for the Uber home. Or guys might request that you split the bill with them. Okay. Is that all money? I always request complete and total anonymity. That's why I wear a Lucha Libre mask when I meet them at the gas station. Because I will not be sharing my real identity with you. And you have to be okay with that

Yeah, you really need to change up that mask because everybody knows it The thing is everybody everybody has their thing and our listener Natela not Nutella Natella 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 Natela hi guys It was in your dating profile. It'd be hard to get the first hangout not a second Well yeah, there's a part there that you can put your voice prop and you can record your answers Yeah, I'm just like typing it out. They can actually hear what you sound like. 99.9% of the time they're bad, but I'm sure that's not the case with not telling.

No, I'm sure not. I mean, you guys tell me, Okay. 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. Don't have a beard? No beard. A beard.

Why? That's easy. I mean, even if a guy did have a beard. Don't have a beard? No beard. A beard. Why? That's easy. Even if a guy did have a beard, if he liked you enough, he'd just shave it off. Is there a reason? It's very specific. I just don't like the beard.

I mean, kissing a guy with a beard, I've done it before and... What about you, Jeff? Jeff is literally playing with his beard as he's talking to you and just stalks. No, to be fair, my roommate right now has a breakout from making out with the guy with a beard Okay, so you don't like being stabbed in the mouth with somebody's facial hair, okay, if we're uncomfortable

Not something I'm into so you, I asked that the guy who responded Please don't have a beard. And of course the guy who responded has a beard 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? 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. No way! When I brought that up I was kidding most guys takes forever to grow a beard out. So that was the request that you made of him before your date started is you cannot have a beard when we meet up. And he shaved it! And he actually did it. He did. Were you able to recognize him? What's his name? I think Michael

Okay, I was actually pretty impressed that he even did it 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 Subtly than you realize the fact that I have been finally a year later you're like, wait, everything's changed? We have, why am I attracted to everybody now? But the fact that he did that before the date even started, that speaks a lot. Right?

Yeah, for him liking you. So what else happened on the date? So, yeah, so we've continued 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 I need those work I guess. Alright, so I guess a lot of the date was talking about your dating profile then? 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. Really? What? Does that work? 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? Yeah, I would think if I saw that on a dating app, I'd be like, oh Why do you do that? Yeah, I feel like a little mystery sometimes girls say a little too much on their profiles Okay, so did he compliment you on how you looked when he met you? 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 those one picture Well, he just shaved his beard so hair length is very tough So long 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? So yeah? We went to grab some wine that there's really nice spot I know about and we talked about paddle boarding and pharmacies Pharmacies we talked about our favorite ones cuz not all of them are nice The one by my house the shelves are really empty it's so

It's so weird. I know what you're talking about. Did I rob this place? It's really weird. My pharmacy is not like that at all. See? It's more of a conversation starter than people would think. I guess it is. All the guys are buying up all the shaving equipment so there's nothing left so that they can go out with Natella 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 So how did you and Michael leave it? Well? I asked him I said hey like you don't want to let me give you my golden retriever When I rubbed my nose on his cheek and he didn't like it What's wrong with this guy? I thought she was joking. Well, I asked him I said you want me to give you the golden retriever and I thought he would like It but he didn't think he was cute at all Guess you were like trying to do an inside joke thing. It just felt like

Was that the only like awkward moment not that I could think of, but there could have been. Hm. Could have been. Well, let's see what he has to say when we call him. I don't know if he's going to pick up, but if he does, we're going to ask him some very important questions. Yeah, we'll get a golden retriever. Yeah.

Why does it sound dirty? I don't know. When Brooke says it, it's like, definitely humping involved. I kind of like it. I can't do a golden retriever, though, in my lucha librae 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. Whoa. Second date update. It's the question every man is dying to hear at the end of a first date. What's that?

So, you want me to give you the golden retriever? Then she rubs her wet nose all over your soft beardless cheek. I don't know, but I wanted to get labradoodle. But now I get that it's dead? Of course, bro. Just imagine the shedding. But that's what our listener, Natela, actually did on her first date with a guy named Michael.

It was supposed to be like a playful humorous thing because in her dating profile She describes herself as a human golden retriever It sounds funny it sounds like a funny moment It kind of sucks that he didn't take it very well 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. Is there anything else stand out to you?

I don't know. I mean, it could honestly be that you only put one picture up on your hinge account. Oh yeah. And so... Maybe she looks a little different from it. I mean, it could backfire. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe you just weren't what he was expecting.

Yeah, he was expecting a black lab and got a golden retriever. What do you think of that, Natella? I don't know. I think I really scared him a little bit with my nose kiss. Oh. I think that that should be fine. I think that- Look, if a man rubbed, you would go-

Yeah, actually you would, nevermind. Yeah. I'm not gonna ask a question. I mean, maybe he just doesn't have a good sense of humor and then you don't wanna date him anyway. Or it could be like, you're a dog, I'm a walrus. Arr, arr, arr, playing games. Maybe he has intimacy issues and that was too fast. He doesn't kiss till the third date

A little bit quick Everybody has different standards when it comes to physical touch and intimacy So let's call them. We'll see if he answers and we'll pick his brain a little bit. Okay 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, okay? And I don't mean that sexually, Brooke, so get that out of your mind, okay? I mean it that way. All right, here we go. Okay.

Hello? Hey, is this Michael? Yeah, who's speaking? Hey, man, my name is Jeff from a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and the whole show is here. Hey, what's up Michael? Good morning. Yeah, we heard a little bit about a date you went on.

Oh, uh, this is kind of weird. Yeah, Brooke, come on a little bit stronger. You're already scaring him. We heard about your dating life, so we hunted you down. What else are you supposed to say? How are you? Yeah, like normal people. Come on a little bit stronger already scaring him. We heard about your dating life, so we hunted you down. Yeah Just how are you? 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 Actually, I think I have heard of that but so like a podcast

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. I think he's probably really upset about that. Probably talking about our podcast. Oh, maybe ours. Oh yeah, ours was number three at one point. Okay, 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 oh Okay, I see where this is gone. Yeah

It's going to where you explain why you haven't called her back. Hopefully well look I'm not sure how much she told you guys, but it got a little weird What yeah what what about it was weird to you because when we heard it, it all sounded very, very normal. Um, yeah, and there was some humor mixed in. Like I said, I just heard someone say about the dog thing, so. I mean, we heard a little bit, I'm sure. Yeah, I mean, she told us that she likes to joke

about herself as being like a human version of a golden retriever. Oh yeah. Because she's happy. That's like, been trendy the past year. Yeah. Oh yeah. Cause she's happy. That's like been trending the past year. You guys have no idea. What? We're talking about the golden retrievers in general cause it was on her profile and

out of nowhere she like puts her nose on the edge of her wine glass and starts slapping her wine like if it was like a dog drinking a bowl. She was putting her tongue in the wine. Can your tongue reach the wine in the glass if they filled in a good Phil I mean, that's a nice bar There's more though. So after that I was already a little weirded out and she's like want to 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 Panting like a dog and that was the indicator of how much she liked you is how much she was panting

I'm not sure what the answer was but she just like panted harder. So I don't know maybe that means like anymore Tail wagging to behind her like I don't understand like how far did this golden retriever joke go? well, there was another weird part which was basically she like put her wet nose into my cheek and See that that was the part that we had heard and we thought it was good That's good though cuz a wet nose does indicate she's healthy. Yes She told us that she knew that was a regrettable moment for her I thought she was gonna pull out a leash 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, yeah, I wish you a good girl. She said that she liked him I can't hear her painting on the other line. So I don't know how much exactly but she is waiting to talk to you No, I forgot to tell you she's listening on the other on the other phone Natal are you there? Pretty normal Yeah, I bet you're a little embarrassed. He doesn't have to be embarrassed. No, you! What?

You said he doesn't have to be. What? Nathela, he was saying that you maybe took the Golden Retriever stuff a little bit too far for his liking. Yeah, but he also didn't tell you that we had a really good connection. We talked about paddle boarding a lot. And remember our conversation about the pharmacies, Michael? It's not great. Yeah. I mean, look, there was good parts of our

conversation. It's just other parts were like significantly weirder. I don't know what you thought was weird. I'm guessing from what I'm listening is that you thought the doc 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. We know that without acting them out. Nobody ever says, well look at that hot golden retriever. 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?

What? What is that? Are you saying that you're always a dog? It's my profile, Michael. It's what it says on there. I have to live it up. He's not, he didn't memorize your profile. So what, you're not willing to back down on the dog stuff?

I wouldn't even know how to back down. I am a golden retriever. That's who I am. She's learned sit, stay, but not back down is one of the golden retriever. That's who I am. She's learned sit stay but not back down is one of the commands yet. So okay. I'm starting to kind of see this is more than a better cover. She takes it very very seriously. Maybe it's like kind of convenient. It's like a girlfriend and a pet all wrapped up in one. Hey you can eat peanut butter together on the couch. 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 Natela. Or actually, maybe I should ask her first. Natela, is that something that you'd be up for? Yes, I would. Oh my god, she farted! Jesus. Oh, girl. She's excited! That is not...

My tail's wagging. Oh, man! We're in public, do we have a gift card too? Oh Natal are you a furry do you do that? Oh, I'm very well groomed if you're asking But I'm afraid to ask you anything else. Don't ask it, just ask Michael. I kind of want to call like Pet Control right now. I want to get her. Yeah, we will fund this new date if you want to do it. Michael, would you care to bark back your approval to her? Yeah, two barks is a yes.

Guys, I got to be really honest. I don't know if our weirds are matching up Just gonna make her want to chase after him even more Hey Michael, I'm like so turned on right now like so turned on right now. Oh god. Oh my goodness. I gotta go. Please reconsider. I think we all gotta go. So uh. Planet Earth and chill. Mattella, I think it's a no this time. It might be a no right now, but wait till he sees me tomorrow. It's gonna be a yes. No. Tomorrow? No. How is she gonna? You have a newspaper in her mouth. It's a no. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Man, they say that there's somebody out there for everyone. And this call just makes me wonder, is there really? I don't know. Are we sure? Because I'm scared for what guy matches perfectly with that. Oh, there's a dog catcher out there who's looking for her right now. Yeah.

I mean, that was strange. Yeah. I don't know how. I don't want to be judgy because everybody's into their own things and stuff But it's just like maybe you stick within that community. That's also I think she is Within the community that understands what you like. Yeah behaving like a dog most of the time Yeah, I just know I've never recoiled more than when she said,

I'm well groomed if that's what you're asking. I know. That was not even close to the question that I was asking. Well, it's something I could never actually say. I like you wanting him to be into it because I want to hear an argument between them when they start growling at each other. Oh, God. Don't you talk about us. I want to hear that.

Yeah, it's a little too much. Just 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. We're getting to that point. Alright call Noah. Call Noah. Save the dogs. So we're ready. Wait, which one's the dog? But you know if you ever want some help with your dating life, with your love situation, email the show. We can call that person who's not calling you back and go check out all of our second dates that are up on podcasts wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey.
