Summary
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.
This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Kylie Finnigan and edited by Livi Burdette.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Binchotopia. We hope you enjoy your stay. |
| 0:15.7 | Hi everybody. Welcome back to Binchotopia. I'm Julia Hava and I'm here by myself today for a solo episode. I did a solo episode on Patreon a couple months ago. I did Julia's fireside chat, just answered some of your guys's questions, kind of like a more intimate vibe. And so I decided it would be a fun thing for this year's Valentine's hotline for me to just answer your calls, hear what you have to say, give some advice. If you're on video right now, you might notice we have a brand new video setup. It's very exciting. We're getting more professional in this space. And yeah, we're doing a lot of fun stuff on Patreon these days. If you guys want to head over to Patreon.com slash Bingetopia. So many new bonus episodes on there. Allegra and I just did |
| 1:00.0 | an emergency dispatch, which I think that's something we're going to need to do more often. |
| 1:04.7 | Basically, the whole Brooklyn Beckham saga dropped. And we happened to have Allegra in the studio. |
| 1:09.3 | And we were like, this is necessary. |
| 1:11.5 | This is crucial. So we did kind of like an emergency in the moment episode. So if you're wondering |
| 1:16.6 | what's going on with the Brooklyn Beckham family drama saga, head over there. |
| 1:21.2 | We are in the midst of this really crazy polar vortex in New York, it is so fucking cold here right now. |
| 1:31.0 | Something that I was thinking about that I think is really fucked up is that you can't |
| 1:35.3 | have a snow day the way you used to anymore because they can still get you. |
| 1:38.5 | They can still get to you virtually. |
| 1:40.2 | And that's really fucked up because when I was a kid at least, like, if there's snow, bitch, |
| 1:45.0 | like you don't have school. There's no way that you're going to make us have school. But nowadays, they can still get you. They can still get to you in a virtual manner. And I think that's unfair to the children of America. I think snow days are really crucial. I think they're really important. And it's just not nice to know that you can still be reached even when there's snow. |
| 2:02.8 | I think like in really important. And it's just not nice to know that you can still be reached, even when there's snow. |
| 2:03.2 | I think, like, in this kind of environment, in this current landscape of the world, we could all use a snow day. |
| 2:10.4 | So I hope all the binchies are staying warm in this season. |
| 2:14.2 | I am going to get into answering some of these questions, but something that I need to |
| 2:18.0 | broach with you guys is this whole Alex Honnold new climb situation. For those who don't know, |
| 2:24.2 | for those who came to one of our live shows last summer, I actually did like a whole presentation |
| 2:29.3 | on Alex Honnold. He's the guy from Free Solo. He's the guy who decided that it was necessary for him, |
| 2:35.7 | despite having a loving girlfriend at home, to climb El Capitan in Yosemite without any ropes, |
| 2:42.4 | which is not something that is necessary to do. You can very wonderfully climb mountains with ropes, |
