In this episode we will be discussing the creepy origins of Valentines, why the holiday was manufactured and how we cannot escape pointless gift giving in the modern age. We also discuss the erasure of Pagan traditions and how these crossed over into Christianity.
We also ask the age old question...does money buy love? Valentines day says it does.
