There are three groups.

There's three groups, two opinions.

There are the people who are in love and happy.

And so Valentine's Day is just a nice night.

It's just like, we're just going to pick a nice night to get a little dress up, spend a little bit extra money,

go to a place we wouldn't ordinarily go to, give each other some gifts, and maybe do anal.

And then there are the people who are bitter and alone, who are like, fuck this holiday, it's stupid.

And then there are people who are like, are together, but not in love and not, like, happy about it,

who are just like, we've been around forever, you're just like in a rut.

And they're also like, fuck this holiday.

And from both of those camps, you'll get the people who are like, this is just nothing,

but a fabricated day by the greetings card company and the chocolate industry in order to raise their blah blah blah.

And it's probably all true.

I like that when John was like, because the caller said it's a made up holiday.

He said, all holidays are made up.

Every fucking holiday you celebrate, they're all rooted in maybe some sort of tradition or an event or a ceremony.

Made up.

They just made up a long ago.

Yeah, but I mean, like, I guess, you know, you know, we, we got our independence on this day.

So I mean, I don't know what's wasn't the exact day, but that was the idea behind the holiday.
