Today on the Handsome Fathers Podcast, we’re officially declaring Valentine’s Day what it really is…

National Cupid Expense Day.

You know the drill. Yesterday, a dozen beautiful roses were $21. Fresh, romantic, reasonable. Overnight? BOOM. Same roses, same water, same thorns… now they’re $75 like they were grown on the moon and delivered by Cupid with overnight shipping.

Balloons? $45.

Cards? $15 for folded paper and emotional pressure.

Chocolate? Somehow flirting with $30 just because it’s shaped like a heart instead of a rectangle.

And restaurants… oh, the restaurants.

Suddenly they’ve got these mysterious “limited reservations.”

“Oh sorry, we only have a 9:40 PM slot left… special Valentine’s menu… $98 per person.”

Sir. Yesterday I could walk in wearing sweatpants and get a table in six minutes. Today I need to book like I’m trying to see a championship fight?

Let’s be honest. Nothing changed except the calendar… and everybody’s price tag caught feelings.

So today’s episode is a funny, real, confident breakdown of how the world collectively agreed to raise prices for 24 hours straight… and how every one of us still walks into that store like:

“Yep… I guess love costs $75 this year.”

We’re laughing about it, calling it out, and keeping it real about relationships, effort, and why the best Valentine’s moments usually aren’t the expensive ones anyway.

If you’ve ever stared at a flower display and whispered, “These were cheaper yesterday…”

If you’ve ever panic-bought chocolate at the last minute…

If you’ve ever questioned whether restaurants invented fake reservation scarcity…

This episode is for you.

Tap in, laugh with us, and welcome to National Cupid Expense Day — only on the Handsome Fathers Podcast.
