Be Mine... or Else: The Weird History of Valentine’s Day


Listen Later

Roses are red, violets are blue, Valentine’s Day is weird… and we’re here to prove it to you! In this episode, we unravel the bizarre, bloody, and occasionally romantic history of February 14th. From ancient Roman rituals involving goat sacrifices (seriously) to the Hallmark-fueled lovefest we know today, we explore how this holiday went from wild to wildly expensive. So grab some chocolate, avoid those candy hearts, and join us for a hilarious deep dive into the true story of Valentine’s Day!

Let us know what you think.
