Episode 9 starts with poll results and reactions to the Super Bowl halftime moment—who listeners wanted to see with Bad Bunny, what we loved about the performance, and the racist backlash that followed.

In This Can’t Be Real Life, we unpack a week of political headlines—from disrespectful rhetoric toward the Obamas, to ICE presence at voter polls, to conversations about the workforce, national debt, and political optics. We also discuss the significance of Maryland Governor Wes Moore not being invited to a White House governors gathering, despite being the only Black governor in the country.

For The Pulse we shift to the dating pool—breaking down the best and worst cities for love and where dating apps fall in the rankings.

In You Like It / We Love It, we celebrate Valentine’s Day and the idea that love shouldn’t be limited to one day a year.

In We Said What We Said, we debate whether men and women can truly be platonic friends… and we have opinions.

Citizen’s Arrest goes to passport bros, chaotic relationship content creators, and the 90-Day-Fiancé-style players who need to sit down somewhere.

We close by asking listeners: what are the best and worst Valentine’s Day gifts you’ve ever received?
