For the 2026 Valentine Hotline, Julia picks up the phone solo to hear binchies' love queries and offer advice to lonely hearts. Essential questions include: What if my partner is too perfect? Why am I having dreams about an old flame? Should I get green card married at 24? Plus, a shonking update from last year's Hotline caller who dated a firefighter who only paid in cash. Digressions include Alex Honnold being a deadbeat Dad, the male urge to blow up a woman's life, and keeping an eye out for The Killer.
