Shownotes
In this episode of the After Party Podcast, hosts Big Party and Molly delves into the significance and implications of Valentine's Day within contemporary relationships, as well as the broader theme of personal effort in romantic endeavors. We engage in a candid discussion about the varying perceptions of the holiday, highlighting a listener's query regarding a partner's indifference towards Valentine's Day as a potential red flag. Through our dialogue, we assert that a lack of enthusiasm or effort in celebrating such occasions may foreshadow deeper issues in the relationship. We further explore the cultural differences in holiday celebrations and the importance of making meaningful gestures, regardless of financial constraints. Ultimately, our conversation underscores the necessity of intentionality and care in romantic partnerships, advocating for an appreciation of shared experiences and expressions of affection.

Speaker B:Hello.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:Tell everybody about the afterparty.
Speaker B:I was with some buddies last week, and they listened to the podcast, the Big Party show, but they weren't aware of the afterparty.
Speaker B:I'm like, how could you not be aware of the afterparty if you're listening to the Big Party show?
Speaker B:So maybe we're not being clear enough that this podcast exists.
Speaker B:It is growing.
Speaker B:People are finding it, and we thank you, of course.
Speaker B:So, yeah, you can get into us and then reach out to us@bpscrashergmail.com.
Speaker B: -: Speaker B:We left you guys at the Big party show.
Speaker B:President's Day Podcast, talking about Valentine's Day and.
Speaker B:And the massacre of animals.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker B:So check that out.
Speaker A:I mean, there was the Valentine's Day massacre, so it was kind of like a hybrid, only it had to do with birds at a sanctuary that are apparently being preyed upon by bald eagles.
Speaker B:Yeah, bald eagles.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And then real quick, I didn't tell you about my Valentine's Day.
Speaker B:We got sidetracked, like we do.
Speaker B:Wylene got me something.
Speaker B:I was 100.
Speaker B:I was 100 surprised because I didn't know what to do.
Speaker B:Do I go get her some flowers?
Speaker B:She didn't want flowers.
Speaker B:She said she just doesn't want flowers.
Speaker B:Because I was going to run to Sam's club and take part of that $12 deal because I'm sure the prices would have went down.
Speaker B:And so I didn't know what I was going to do.
Speaker B:And then we're sitting there watching that romcom called Eternity, and she came back with a little gift.
Speaker B:A gift.
Speaker B:I was like, oh, my God, you got something for me?
Speaker B:So she got me two chocolate bars, because I love chocolate, but I A certain type of chocolate.
Speaker B:And then she got me a card.
Speaker B:Of course, a great card.
Speaker B:She nominated.
Speaker B:She made me a husband of the year again.
Speaker B:In the card.
Speaker A:Oh, that was nice.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:So, yeah, I'm husband of the year again.
Speaker B:Peter raining title.
Speaker A:Peter wasn't in the running.
Speaker B:Come on.
Speaker B:Why isn't he in the running?
Speaker B:He should be in the running for King Size Mattress.
Speaker A:King Size Mattress.
Speaker A:Then we'll talk.
Speaker A:Then all of a sudden, he moves up the list.
Speaker A:But until King Size mattress is purchased and installed in our bedroom.
Speaker B:Okay, all right, that's.
Speaker B:Now I Hope he gets it then.
Speaker B:Because it's a fun feeling to be, you know, labeled as the husband of the year because it realizes that I've done everything right over the last year.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:According to your wife, who has no other measurement.
Speaker A:She has no other.
Speaker A:Unlike eternity.
Speaker A:She doesn't have a first husband to go ahead and base this off of.
Speaker B:Yeah, she does.
Speaker A:Not a dead one.
Speaker B:Oh, not a dead one.
Speaker A:No, no.
Speaker A:A first.
Speaker A:Yeah, she's got a first husband that.
Speaker A:I mean.
Speaker A:Yeah, you're winning in that category, but I'm saying, like, awesome husband that passed away in the war.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Good looking guy passed away.
Speaker B:People watch that movie.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:But then I also got socks.
Speaker A:Really?
Speaker B:I got.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:Because my feet are always cold.
Speaker B:It feels like.
Speaker B:So she got me warm socks.
Speaker A:Why didn't she just give you the ones that you gave her that were too big for her feet?
Speaker B:I think she.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:Those are girl socks.
Speaker B:And I think she may have re gifted those girl socks.
Speaker B:Their socks.
Speaker A:How are.
Speaker A:How are they gender.
Speaker B:Because they're thick.
Speaker B:They're thick.
Speaker B:Like, they're thick socks that girls wear with all the fur inside.
Speaker A:Don't stand in the way of your having comfort.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:I couldn't put a shoe on with that.
Speaker B:That's how thick they are.
Speaker B:They're like.
Speaker A:Well, they're not meant to be worn with shoes.
Speaker A:They're meant to be worn around the house to keep your feet toasty.
Speaker B:She.
Speaker B:I think she gifted them.
Speaker B:I think that was a white elephant.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Yeah, so that went away.
Speaker B:And somehow we acquired these pink bunny slippers.
Speaker B:Oh, they don't fit her.
Speaker B:And I don't want her falling down the stairs, but they fit me.
Speaker B:But then the dogs.
Speaker B:Tequila.
Speaker B:The doodle.
Speaker B:She wants it as a toy.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:So now she has two big pink bunnies that she.
Speaker B:She plays with and tries to tear up and stuff like that.
Speaker B:But.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:And this is germane to your story because I don't feel like we've really gone.
Speaker B:I don't have an idea.
Speaker A:A rabbit.
Speaker A:A little.
Speaker A:A little garden path to rabbit shoes.
Speaker A:Well, I got my husband a Valentine's Day gift.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:I got him Girl Scout cookies.
Speaker B:Oh, look at you.
Speaker A:And I got my son Girl Scout cookies.
Speaker A:I got my daughter chocolate covered strawberries.
Speaker A:I was like, just given killing it this year.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:I got chocolate from a drugstore and my family got surf and turf chocolate covered strawberries and their own individual boxes of Girl Scout cookies.
Speaker A:I think I just need to, like, have a girl's weekend collecting rocks in order to make up For.
Speaker B:I think you need to.
Speaker B:But you go all in.
Speaker B:Like when we did the.
Speaker B:The 12 pods at Christmas.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:And one of them was a.
Speaker B:Is.
Speaker B:Was a white elephant gift from us.
Speaker B:Yeah, I just gave her what a white elephant gift would be.
Speaker B:I don't even remember what it was.
Speaker B:Some game.
Speaker B:Some game that I didn't have.
Speaker B:I mean, basically how we do the white elephant is.
Speaker B:It's something in our house that we already have.
Speaker B:But you went all out and I don't think you understood the white elephant thing.
Speaker A:I've never done white elephant before.
Speaker A:Yeah, but it was stuff from my house.
Speaker B:Oh, you went.
Speaker B:Didn't go out and buy that.
Speaker B:All that stuff.
Speaker B:You just.
Speaker B:You really hooked her up with a bunch of stuff.
Speaker B:I was like, step back.
Speaker B:Stop making me look bad.
Speaker B:You know, so.
Speaker A:But.
Speaker B:But yeah, you all.
Speaker B:You do good at.
Speaker B:At gifts and stuff like that.
Speaker A:I can.
Speaker A:I mean, you know, I'm not a big.
Speaker A:I don't do gifts a lot, but when I do, it's usually because I saw something or came across something that I thought somebody would like.
Speaker A:But I'm not like, I'm pretty inconsistent.
Speaker A:Like my husband's birthdays this month.
Speaker A:I don't think I'm getting him anything for his birthday.
Speaker A:I mean, I don't know what he needed besides a king sized mattress.
Speaker B:You should get it for him.
Speaker A:Buddy, I know that you've been just pinching pennies trying to figure out how we were going to throw this together.
Speaker A:Congratulations.
Speaker A:You're on a payment plan.
Speaker B:You would love it.
Speaker B:You would absolutely love it.
Speaker B:All right, so we have a couple questions.
Speaker B:No dumb questions.
Speaker B:You can send those a BPS crasher or you can text us them.
Speaker B:All right, so what is this one?
Speaker B:If you had a free meal for life at one fast food chain, which one you choose?
Speaker A:Easy.
Speaker A:Taco Bell.
Speaker B:Taco Bell ever.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:If I.
Speaker A:A fast food chain.
Speaker B:Yeah, just a fast food chain.
Speaker B:That's it.
Speaker B:Just Taco Bell would be.
Speaker A:I would pick one.
Speaker B:Yeah, you pick one.
Speaker B:I guess you're right.
Speaker B:Yeah, sorry.
Speaker B:I would pick Culver's.
Speaker A:I was.
Speaker A:Culver's was my other go to.
Speaker B:I gotta say, Culver's is probably, I think one of the best fast food joints around.
Speaker A:I really think it's like I hold it in higher regard.
Speaker A:Like I don't consider it fast food for some reason.
Speaker A:Yeah, I don't know why?
Speaker A:Because, I mean, it is really good.
Speaker A:Well, now that throws a kink in things because that would be better than Taco Bell.
Speaker B:Yeah, that's what Because I would have thought Taco Bell, too.
Speaker B:Molly.
Speaker B:So this is what happened to me not long ago, for some.
Speaker B:I. I wanted to.
Speaker B:I was craving something fast foodish.
Speaker B:And so I was like, well, if I want to spend that kind of money.
Speaker B:Yes, I wanted to go to Arby's.
Speaker B:And we all know that food is not all the food is not expensive.
Speaker B:I mean, not cheap anymore.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:So I. I went.
Speaker B:I walked into Arby's, and I looked at the prices, and I was like, I'm not eating here.
Speaker B:And so I left.
Speaker A:You walked in?
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:I even walked in, and then there's a Burger King right next to it.
Speaker B:And on their marquee, it said two chicken sandwiches, those original ones that are delicious.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker B:For five bucks, I'm like, ah, that's just a lot of food I'll get.
Speaker B:I mean, that's a lot of sickness right there if I eat two of them.
Speaker B:And then so I cruise down Fast Food Alley, which is right by my house.
Speaker B:I'm thinking, well, there's Runza.
Speaker B:But then that's pricey.
Speaker B:And then I'm like, passing them all.
Speaker B:Molly.
Speaker B:I passed Taco Bell.
Speaker B:I'm like, I could get some.
Speaker B:I just wanted something cheap.
Speaker B:And before I did that, by the way, I went into family fair because I wanted fried chicken, maybe because on Wednesdays they do Fried chicken day.
Speaker B:They used to, anyway.
Speaker B:And it was like $6 for.
Speaker A:I can't even believe how involved this is.
Speaker A:You are so fat.
Speaker B:Yeah, Fast.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:No fat.
Speaker A:You're like, no.
Speaker A:I stopped by this other place, and.
Speaker B:I went in and I thought, this is kind of expensive.
Speaker A:So then I thought, two for five.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:You could have housed those.
Speaker B:I could have housed them, but I was just how I would have felt afterwards, because I need the fries and I need the Diet Coke with it, you know?
Speaker B:So now I'm spending a lot of money.
Speaker B:So then raising canes would popped in there.
Speaker B:And I'm like, I should just go raising canes.
Speaker B:I can make a sandwich out of it.
Speaker B:And their fries and their chicken's pretty solid.
Speaker B:But then I remember the last time I did that.
Speaker B:I said to myself, as I'm shame eating in the car, why did I do that?
Speaker B:So now I'm past McDonald's, I'm like, screw this.
Speaker B:As I'm driving, I'm like, I wonder if Popeyes has their fish sandwich back yet.
Speaker B:So I look it up.
Speaker B:It's not back yet.
Speaker B:It doesn't come back until up.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:So anyway, as I'm like, screw it.
Speaker B:I'll go home and eat some soup or a sandwich.
Speaker B:Save some money.
Speaker B:Culver's popped in my head, and it didn't matter how much it cost.
Speaker B:It did not matter.
Speaker B:The moral of this story, that's where I would go.
Speaker B:That's if I had food for the.
Speaker B:For a year.
Speaker B:That would be my fast food pace.
Speaker B:The more you know, I can't believe.
Speaker A:That you went hey.
Speaker A:And considered all that many places.
Speaker B:I know.
Speaker B:Stupid, am I?
Speaker B:I know.
Speaker B:I know.
Speaker A:And you're just like, what?
Speaker A:Slow rolling down Q Street, just looking.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:Imagine the poor people behind you.
Speaker A:They're like, what is this guy doing?
Speaker B:He must be old.
Speaker A:Wait a minute.
Speaker A:Arby's.
Speaker A:Got to pull it over here.
Speaker A:Oh, e. Expensive.
Speaker A:Hold on.
Speaker B:Two for five.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker B:I know.
Speaker B:It all started in the morning, Molly, because in the morning, something popped up on my Facebook feed about Arby's and having some Chicago style sandwich.
Speaker B:Like a beef.
Speaker B:Like an Italian beef?
Speaker B:Yes, Italian beef.
Speaker B:Brand new.
Speaker B:Limited.
Speaker B:Limited.
Speaker B:Limited time.
Speaker B:They're gonna have it, and that's what I wanted.
Speaker B:But then everything just kind of fell apart until Culver's popped in.
Speaker B:The head covers is fantastic.
Speaker A:Yeah, it's really good.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker A:We get.
Speaker A:At least.
Speaker A:We get Culver's once a week.
Speaker B:Oh, you do?
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Have you had their fish sandwich?
Speaker B:I had it, and I. I think the fish need to be bigger, but it was good.
Speaker A:No, I have not had their fish sandwich, though.
Speaker B:The.
Speaker A:The bag this week had the ad for fish sandwich because, you know, Ash Wednesday is.
Speaker A:It's tomorrow.
Speaker B:It's just.
Speaker B:Yeah, tomorrow.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:And I.
Speaker A:Happy Marty.
Speaker A:Gr to you.
Speaker A:I have been dreaming of gumbo for, like, days.
Speaker B:Oh, I had gumbo the other day.
Speaker B:I made some gumbo.
Speaker B:You should make yourself some gumbo.
Speaker A:You made gumbo from scratch?
Speaker B:No, it was a box.
Speaker A:A box for gumbo or you're thinking jambalaya?
Speaker B:No, it was gumbo.
Speaker B:I bought it a long time ago, thinking it was gluten free, and it just sat in the.
Speaker B:In the cabinet because I wouldn't eat it.
Speaker B:But then when I realized it was a soup type deal, I was like, oh, yeah, this is.
Speaker B:This.
Speaker B:It's by the train, I think.
Speaker A:Zataransk.
Speaker B:Zatarans.
Speaker B:Yeah, that's what I had.
Speaker B:Oh, yeah.
Speaker B:Make yourself some gumbo, girl.
Speaker B:It's that time of the year.
Speaker B:Yeah, have some gumbo.
Speaker B:Well, that fish sandwich at Popeyes, it only comes out at Lent.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And when I looked up when Lent was yesterday, I got excited that it was Wednesday.
Speaker B:And then I Looked up to see if that fish sandwich was there already because I'll go get it right now.
Speaker B:But it wasn't there.
Speaker B:So it'll be there on.
Speaker B:On Wednesday.
Speaker B:That sandwich is so popular and huge.
Speaker B:It's spicy.
Speaker B:It's a spicy fish sandwich.
Speaker B:And think they have a mild one as well.
Speaker B:Molly, it sells out.
Speaker B:Not just sells out of that store.
Speaker B:They don't have it anymore.
Speaker B:You know, it's like a couple weeks, and in us fatty people, we all go there and take as much fish as we can get, and then now they don't have it on the supply chain anymore.
Speaker B:And so they end it.
Speaker B:Isn't that crazy?
Speaker A:So you've got to go early.
Speaker B:You gotta go.
Speaker B:Yeah, well, you gotta go, like, yeah, early.
Speaker B:Because a week from now they may never have it again.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker B:Till next year.
Speaker B:So, yeah, that's.
Speaker B:That happened to me last year.
Speaker A:So you've got an appointment.
Speaker A:So you've got plans Wednesday.
Speaker B:I've been waiting a year.
Speaker A:You're like, hello, didn't we see you slow driving by armies the other day?
Speaker A:Like, no, maybe.
Speaker B:I've been waiting one year.
Speaker A:We recognize your car.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker B:One stinking year.
Speaker B:I've been waiting a year for that chicken sandwich.
Speaker B:For that fish sandwich.
Speaker B:Remember when they had the fish?
Speaker B:Not the fish, but the chicken sandwich wars.
Speaker B:Remember how insane that was?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:And you went in on that, too.
Speaker B:I went on all that because of.
Speaker B:Because of their chicken sandwich was rated number one.
Speaker B:It was just a social media question.
Speaker B:Who has the best chicken sandwich?
Speaker B:You can throw it out to us.
Speaker B:I'll go eat it.
Speaker B:But who has the best chicken sandwich?
Speaker B:And it was between, like, next, you know, it's like McDonald's.
Speaker B:It's in there.
Speaker B:And then a burger King and.
Speaker B:And then popeyes stepped up and have their sandwich, and it was so stinking good and big that there were lines.
Speaker B:Now this Popeyes by my house has been there forever, and I've never seen lines.
Speaker B:Now there are lines.
Speaker B:Until they ran out of chicken.
Speaker B:They ran out of chicken.
Speaker B:Hey, this is the afterparty.
Speaker B:After we've had a little bit too much.
Speaker A:Has.
Speaker A:Somebody's hungry is what I'm.
Speaker A:What I'm gathering.
Speaker A:You've spent 15, nearly 15 minutes talking about fast food.
Speaker B:Called the fast food.
Speaker B:It's the after party.
Speaker B:It's what you do after your party.
Speaker B:You eat.
Speaker B:You need bad food.
Speaker B:Burrito, you know.
Speaker B:Oh, burrito it is, by the way, real quick.
Speaker B:Lancer tickets.
Speaker B:You can go to bigpartyshow.com and win tickets that.
Speaker B:That game Is on Sunday this week.
Speaker B:505.
Speaker B:It's Blade the mascots Retirement party and family Fun day.
Speaker B:Oh, look at that.
Speaker B:Blade's retiring.
Speaker B:Why Blades are retiring.
Speaker B:Maybe just, you know, just hanging up his skates.
Speaker A:Wants to go ahead.
Speaker A:Well, the hot thing right now is the mini sabbatical.
Speaker A:So maybe, maybe this is.
Speaker A:There are.
Speaker A:Maybe this is Blade's idea of taking a little break.
Speaker A:The idea is, is that a lot more people now are taking breaks.
Speaker A:Not just vacations, but like breaks from their job.
Speaker A:Whether it's semi retiring, where it's like retiring from one job and then taking time off before you find another job to give yourself a bit of a break because of burnout.
Speaker A:Some people are also like saving up vacation time so they can take like a whole month off of work.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:And then just be great.
Speaker A:Giving themselves like a full break.
Speaker A:And then some people are just saying, take this job and shove it and go in and, and just doing what they want for a little bit before they like possibly change careers or just find something else in their career.
Speaker A:But I guess it's becoming more and more of a trend.
Speaker A:People are really getting burned out and then they're like finding ways to sort of reset for themselves.
Speaker B:I think it's.
Speaker B:A lot of it is because of.
Speaker B:It started with COVID you know, people working from home.
Speaker B:I, I think sometimes these businesses, when they give you, you know, those hybrid hours and, and then.
Speaker B:Or maybe it's a business that has, you know, like games and free food.
Speaker B:Because there's a lot of businesses out now that, that are still doing that to keep employees.
Speaker B:I don't think they stop, you know what I mean?
Speaker B:Like, hey, if you're going to work for this fabulous company that has a pool table, a sauna, and then free food every lunch, then you're going to take my text messages or my, my messages up until the wee hour and even on weekends.
Speaker B:So nobody has a break.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And plus also when people started working from home, I immediately thought that you would work more.
Speaker A:They did.
Speaker B:I was never a fan.
Speaker B:I was never a fan.
Speaker B:Because that's how that works when you're working from home.
Speaker B:If you don't take your breaks and stuff, you're going to burn out.
Speaker B:God, I'm a big fan of the Sabaticals.
Speaker B:A month vacation, that would be fantastic, wouldn't it?
Speaker A:Well, I mean, in a lot of other countries do it, you know, like you go.
Speaker A:If you travel, you know, especially if you go abroad and you run into people from England or Australia or wherever.
Speaker A:I Mean, those countries, they get like a month for holiday.
Speaker A:And that's the thing.
Speaker A:They're like, I don't understand how you Americans do it.
Speaker A:I don't understand how you can take a day here or day there.
Speaker A:Like, those guys will take an entire month off and go, you know, and disconnect completely.
Speaker B:Imagine what you would feel like.
Speaker B:Amazing going back.
Speaker B:You would feel amazing.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:I mean, think about that.
Speaker B:Those.
Speaker B:Those Europeans would.
Speaker B:I mean, we've seen them at resorts.
Speaker B:They'll stay at Sandals for, you know, a month.
Speaker B:Yeah, Wouldn't that be great, staying at Sandals for a month or even a cruise ship for a month?
Speaker A:I mean, I think they're also just like places in the world that we don't necessarily get to go to on account of the fact that the travel get there.
Speaker A:Yeah, like, the travel itself.
Speaker A:Just getting there and getting back when you only have a week vacation, you just.
Speaker A:You can't.
Speaker A:I mean, you can't go to Japan.
Speaker A:You can't go to Australia.
Speaker A:I mean, half your vacation is spent just getting there and back again.
Speaker B:Think about how many places Molly are out there that we can't.
Speaker B:That we'll never see.
Speaker B:You know, like, I'd love to go to Thailand, you know, plan on traveling.
Speaker B:You know, I would love to go to those places before I'm too old.
Speaker B:It's also another thing.
Speaker B:Don't wait till you're old and retired to go hit up those places, because you become to this point where you don't want to travel anymore because it's work.
Speaker B:I know people.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:They got sick of it.
Speaker B:They're like, you got to go to the airport.
Speaker B:You got to pack all this stuff.
Speaker B:You got to sit there.
Speaker B:Then you sit in a plane.
Speaker B:And I. I couldn't even believe what I was hearing from this couple that said, we're done traveling.
Speaker B:We're not going to travel anymore because it's too much work.
Speaker B:Burned out.
Speaker B:Could you imagine that?
Speaker B:I'm like, God, I.
Speaker B:That's all I want to do is travel, you know?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Serious.
Speaker B:It.
Speaker A:I mean, that.
Speaker A:That's the thing, is that, I mean, you come across these opportunities, and I. I mean, if somebody today was like, let's go to Australia.
Speaker A:Like, I've got a buy one, get one free, like a buddy pass.
Speaker A:Be like, bye, family.
Speaker A:See you in 10 days or so.
Speaker A:Love you.
Speaker B:Bye.
Speaker A:Bye.
Speaker B:All right, we gotta.
Speaker B:We got another question from Amy.
Speaker B:My boyfriend says he doesn't see the point in Valentine's Day.
Speaker B:Ew.
Speaker B:Is that a red flag or just laziness?
Speaker A:Well, laziness is a red flag, so there is that.
Speaker B:Laziness is a red flag.
Speaker B:I guess it is, isn't it?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:If you're dating and somebody can't get up the energy to, like, be like, let's do something nice, that's not.
Speaker A:That's not getting better when you get married or tie down forever.
Speaker A:I mean, this is somebody where they're, like, on their best behavior, shaking a tail to keep your interest.
Speaker A:And to be like, this is the best version of me.
Speaker A:If this is the best version of them, and they're like, I'm exhausted.
Speaker A:I couldn't even possibly think about doing something.
Speaker A:Then run.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:I guess.
Speaker B:Amy, Molly's telling you to run.
Speaker B:Well, I mean, seriously, like, it's just Valentine's Day.
Speaker B:I mean, I can see if you're married, but to actually physically say that, that's what.
Speaker B:I never hear that coming out of my mouth like that to any.
Speaker B:To Wyn or anyone.
Speaker B:That.
Speaker A:My husband basically said that when he walked in the door with chocolate from Walgreens.
Speaker A:How do you say I'm too lazy to celebrate this holiday without saying the words?
Speaker A:You walk in with a plastic bag from Walgreens with a sad bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates that you got in an aisle next to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Speaker A:But we've been married for almost 20 years.
Speaker A:If we were dating and he walked in, let's say, like, we were dating, and it was something where we were gonna celebrate Valentine's Day.
Speaker A:Like, it wasn't we, you know, we'd been in this relationship for a year.
Speaker A:It was something that we were really gonna mark the occasion, and he walked in with that stuff.
Speaker A:Oh.
Speaker B:Especially in a bag.
Speaker A:It's still in the bag from buying it two minutes ago.
Speaker B:Were the flowers nice?
Speaker B:I mean, or is it just your typical.
Speaker B:I thought he had a flower guy.
Speaker A:Didn't.
Speaker A:He does have a flower guy.
Speaker A:That was why I was like, I thought you had a flower guy.
Speaker A:He's like, yeah, I just.
Speaker A:Stop talking.
Speaker A:It's not getting better.
Speaker B:Yeah, I remember him and his flower guy.
Speaker B:I was jealous because I don't have a flower guy.
Speaker A:He's got a flower guy.
Speaker A:I don't know if the flower guy is, like, retired.
Speaker A:He's on semi sabbatical.
Speaker A:I don't know what the deal is, but he didn't go to the flower guy this year.
Speaker A:Unless the flower guy is like, Jessica rang him up at Walgreens.
Speaker A:If that's the flower guy, then.
Speaker A:Then that.
Speaker A:Then the flower gets Changed.
Speaker B:Oh God.
Speaker B:Red flags.
Speaker B:I never thought.
Speaker A:I think anytime somebody says that they're.
Speaker A:If you're dating and it's an opportunity to do something special and somebody's like, I'm too lazy to do that.
Speaker A:Gross.
Speaker A:Sick.
Speaker A:Too lazy to sleep with you.
Speaker A:I guess.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:I think about what that guy's.
Speaker B:I mean, I don't know the guy, but what does his daily.
Speaker B:Daily do then?
Speaker B:I mean, does he just not do anything?
Speaker B:I mean, if you can't make an effort, don't see a point in Valentine's Day.
Speaker B:I mean, I don't see a point.
Speaker A:Silly in the sense that like, you gotta eat, right?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:I mean, make some food.
Speaker A:Maybe you want to see a movie, don'tcha?
Speaker A:I mean seriously, like, it's not heavy lifting.
Speaker A:I mean, it's not like I'm sad.
Speaker B:For the girl right now.
Speaker A:Go to mass for four hours.
Speaker A:You know what I mean?
Speaker A:Like, it's not like this is.
Speaker A:Hey, we get to go someplace to eat and.
Speaker A:And we don't even have to go to something fancy.
Speaker A:La.
Speaker A:Fancy French restaurant.
Speaker A:I mean, we could go and get the place where it's like, oh, we both love the burgers from this place.
Speaker A:Let's go get burgers.
Speaker A:That's something.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Too lazy.
Speaker A:Bye.
Speaker A:You know what I'm not too lazy to do?
Speaker A:Break up with you.
Speaker A:Suddenly I feel like I need to be free of this situation.
Speaker B:Think about her feelings when she finds the guy that doesn't think that Valentine's Day is a waste of time.
Speaker A:Yeah, she's gonna be like, oh my God, where have you been?
Speaker A:Be like, I'm just like anybody else.
Speaker A:You were dating a loser.
Speaker B:Oh God, lazy.
Speaker A:God, I can't even.
Speaker A:I don't want to go anywhere you're dating.
Speaker A:It's all about going places and doing things.
Speaker A:Because guess what?
Speaker A:You're gonna sit on your ass for the rest of your life when you're married.
Speaker A:Most likely because you're going to be doing stuff like saving up for a king size mattress that you never get.
Speaker B:That you're never going to get.
Speaker B:Amy, you really touched something there.
Speaker A:Sorry.
Speaker A:I'm coming in hot on this.
Speaker A:Amy.
Speaker A:I think, I think I'm bringing my own little suitcase of stuff.
Speaker B:I think.
Speaker A:So Peter's listening to this, like, Jesus, oh my God, I better shake a tail.
Speaker B:So, red flag or just laziness?
Speaker B:Yeah, red flag.
Speaker B:I would say red flag.
Speaker B:I mean, next thing he's going to say is, you know, anniversaries.
Speaker B:I mean, what's the point of an anniversary?
Speaker B:I don't see any point in.
Speaker B:In celebrating our anniversary.
Speaker A:Here's the thing.
Speaker A:I can see somebody saying, like, let's not go all in on the consumerism.
Speaker A:Like, I'm not going to get you a 500 card just to say that I got you a.
Speaker A:You know.
Speaker A:Yeah, but that doesn't mean.
Speaker A:Then make me a card.
Speaker A:Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, if.
Speaker A:If it's.
Speaker A:If it's about consumerism and you're like, this is just a gross way for these companies to go ahead and monetize on nostalgia, then that's fine.
Speaker A:But guess what?
Speaker A:Making a nice meal at home.
Speaker A:Or like, saying something like, I got your favorite treat.
Speaker A:And I thought, like, I bought this movie.
Speaker A:I thought we could watch.
Speaker A:We can just snuggle up on the couch, like, that kind of thing.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:Those are Valentine's Day plans that don't require any serious heavy lifting or major expense.
Speaker A:You can do nice things if you're just like, hey, listen, I know I don't have a lot of money right now, but, like, I thought maybe I'd make pasta and, like, we could watch a Netflix show together.
Speaker A:And, I mean, seriously, I think he's.
Speaker B:Just being lazy or just not really.
Speaker A:Like, if the guy's like, I. I mean, I get it.
Speaker A:Not everybody's got the money to celebrate, but you're trying to, like, you got to eat.
Speaker B:There's ways of celebrating.
Speaker B:Like, look what I did.
Speaker B:I made chocolate.
Speaker B:I made chocolate.
Speaker B:Instead of spending a ton of money on.
Speaker B:On some chocolate, I made it.
Speaker B:Yeah, there's things you can do to.
Speaker B:To.
Speaker B:You don't have to spend all that money on that stuff, you know?
Speaker B:But, yeah, Amy needs to.
Speaker B:Yeah, I don't.
Speaker B:I don't.
Speaker B:I don't know what the rest of the.
Speaker B:His day is like.
Speaker A:Wonder if he listens to the show.
Speaker A:He's like, hey, I used to like you guys, and now you suck.
Speaker A:I told my girlfriend to break up with me because I was lazy.
Speaker A:You're like, yeah, you were.
Speaker B:Well, what do you do?
Speaker B:You know, what do you do?
Speaker B:All right, one last question.
Speaker B:We have.
Speaker B:Let's see.
Speaker B:If someone asked you what your last meal would be, what would it be?
Speaker A:Oh, that's impossible.
Speaker B:Last meal.
Speaker A:I don't even know.
Speaker B:Maybe we bring this back up on Wednesday.
Speaker B:That's a hard one.
Speaker A:I need time to think about that.
Speaker B:Yeah, think about that one.
Speaker B:Because, I mean, if I had to answer now or get my hand cut off, it would be like French fries of some sort.
Speaker B:God, I think the last meal.
Speaker A:You just need to get some fast food today.
Speaker A:You have talked way too much.
Speaker B:French fries.
Speaker B:I think I do.
Speaker B:I think I do.
Speaker A:I think.
Speaker A:I think we need to, like, go ahead and wrap the show, and you need to get in your car and go hit fast food hours.
Speaker B:I already told you how that works.
Speaker B:I'll just be pedaling along because I don't want to spend the money.
Speaker B:My big day is on, Lind.
Speaker A:You're like, I'm saving it all up for Wednesday.
Speaker B:I'm going straight.
Speaker B:Right when I wake up in the morning, I'm going straight to Popeyes.
Speaker B:Huh?
Speaker B:As soon as they open up.
Speaker A:Big day.
Speaker A:Put it on the calendar, circle it, and star it.
Speaker B:I hope they bring it back.
Speaker B:I hope they do.
Speaker A:Now, if it was that big of a win or, like, a win for them, I would.
Speaker A:They'd be stupid not to.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Because it's a lent thing.
Speaker B:And, you know, all these fast food places and restaurants, that's when they kind of bring their fish.
Speaker B:It's.
Speaker B:I think that fish sandwich for them is kind of like the McRib to McDonald's, you know, is what it is.
Speaker B:So I just hope it's everything that I. I think it is.
Speaker A:You'll let us know if it's not.
Speaker A:We've got this microphone to go ahead and run them into the ground, and you're not.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:And if you own a Popeyes, you need to sponsor the show today.
Speaker B:All right, we're out of here.
Speaker B:We'll see you guys on Wednesday.
Speaker B:Have a safe day and do yourself good.
