What's up, everybody, welcome back. Happy Skews Day to you. It's February 13th, one day before Valentine's Day, 2024. I'm Trey. That's Mark. Mark, you feeling the love in the air? How are you feeling over there?

Happy early Valentine's, buddy. I actually did good this year. I actually have presents. My wife, this will be a sole piece of press. She doesn't list. She will never listen to this. She's, uh, here's enough of my opinions. Uh, but, uh, so like, but I did, I don't have like gift bags and our card yet.

So I still have to do the loser husband CVS shopping after we do this. Me too.

Yeah, I'm going to have to do the loser husband c vs

shopping after we do this me too yeah i'm going to have to do that tomorrow well i used to do this

whole thing it's like i used to have this whole position i was like no valentine's day is a corporate

bullshit holiday it's like it's you know it's consumerism writ large they. They're con in us all is what's happening here.

It has nothing to do with love.

And I'm not going to play into that, right?

And it turns out that don't really go over particularly well.

You should at least get some flowers or chocolates.

It's like, is that, is that stance really worth not buying a heart-shaped box of chocolates, telling my wife you love her or whatever,

you know, sure.

I used to have the same stance about marriage itself and I did that.

So there we go.

Yeah.

But also, you know, I looked it up for my Patreon, like last year.

And some form or semblance of Valentine's day has actually been around for like

a pretty long time which i didn't realize i know it's like the whole narrative it's all it was

created by hallmark or whatever but that's not entirely accurate some like it's been a thing for

longer than you think so yeah the pagans probably had a designated day to be horny, so you just kept going.

So, yeah, a couple things where we get to the show.
