Just over half of Americans (54%) are expected to celebrate #ValentinesDay this year, spending $1 billion on greeting cards alone! So, how did this holiday come to be & does anyone actually enjoy going out to a crowded restaurant with a limited, overpriced prix fixe menu? On this episode, we're chatting about the origins of Valentine's Day, giving/receiving Valentine's in elementary school, the mind-blowing experience of being in a stretch limo as a kid, whether it's appropriate to ask a stranger about their sex life, the downside of sharing your birthday with a holiday & much more. Special shout-out to the greeting card industry for making a $10 piece of folded paper a reality ...I don't like it! #OldManEd #NakedBabyDaddy #PlatonicValentines #HappyValentinesDay
