    Isn't it bromantic? Willie and Al share a Valentine's smooch

    TODAY

    Al and Willie took their relationship to a new level on Thursday.

    By Julieanne Smolinski, TODAY contributor

    Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and Chassie Post from Gilt stopped by to show Willie a number of gifts for sweethearts. Like Kisstixx, a his 'n' hers lip balm that creates a flavor combination when you make out with your sweetheart. Or, as the case may be, your dashing co-anchor.

    To help test the efficacy of the lip balm's "Peaches and Cream" flavor, Al gamely stepped up to the plate and planted one on Willie. Meanwhile, Natalie urged the producers to go to commercial.

    "Can we agree this is not a Bar Refaeli situation?" Willie said, referring to the Israeli supermodel who makes out with nerdy Jesse Heiman in a now infamous Super Bowl commercial for Go Daddy.

    Off-camera, TODAY.com caught up with Al for some post-smooch commentary. "It was like nothing I've ever felt before... and hopefully will never again," Al said. "Our wives collectively think we have some 'splainin to do."

    "Neither peaches nor cream ever will taste the same again," Willie told us. "I got a great phone call from my wife after the show. Here's a partial transcript: Me: 'Hey.' Her: 'Did you make out with Al on the show this morning?' Me: 'Yeah, kind of.' Her: 'Oh, ok.'"

    Later on the air, when a bouquet of flowers arrived for Natalie, Al intercepted them and gallantly handed him to Willie, who affectionately called him "Peaches."

    Who says bromance is dead?

    Julieanne Smolinski is a TODAY contributor who has a great new wallpaper for her computer.

    TODAY's Willie Geist and Al Roker just can't refuse trying out a lip balm that creates a flavor combination when you kiss.

    i think the show was much better when anne curry was on with matt. she was a very nice person and had a lot to offer or at least they thought for many years. did anyone think the bad ratings were because of someone else on the show. but nbc wanted to get rid of her, so they did. shame on them.

    Hot dog! Anchors' pups get in the Halloween spirit

    What's cuter than a parade of pets in Halloween costumes? We can't think of much. So TODAY staffers showed off their furry friends' holiday spirit, and Al and Natalie joined in on the fun. 

    Zara, the pooch who was adopted by Natalie after they met on air, wore a devil costume. And Al's new pup Pepper showed up as a hot dog (har-dee-har!). 

    TODAY

    Natalie holds her dog Zara, who's devil costume had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction.
