Why Won't You Date Me? with Nicole Byer11 Huhti 2025

Childbirth Nightmares, Public or Private Proposal? (w/ Melissa Hunter)

Writer Melissa Hunter (Santa Clarita Diet, She-Hulk, Home Economics) joins Nicole to talk through the messy reality of childbirth - including her 32-hour labor, an unexpected unmedicated birth after her epidural failed, and shitting on the table. They also get into whether proposals should be private or public (including Nicole’s dream proposal), the red flags of dating someone who won’t drop the bits, and the time Nicole got scammed by a hot Instagram dating coach.
