Valentine’s Day might be known for love and romance, but there’s a weird, dark, and downright ridiculous side to this holiday that no one talks about. In this episode, we dive into the surprisingly bizarre history of Valentine’s Day, unravel the myth of Cupid (turns out, he's not as innocent as he looks), and share hilarious and cringeworthy Valentine’s Day fails—from awkward gifts to disastrous dates. Then, we explore the darker side of February 14th, including the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, ruthless “Vinegar Valentines,” modern romance scams, and the relationship pressures that cause a breakup spike. Is Valentine’s Day really about love, or is it just a strange mix of tradition, capitalism, and chaos? Let’s get weird. 💘💀
