We kick things off with a chaotic Good Week / Bad Week that turns into a full breakdown of our Valentine’s Day — including:

• The leopard print dress that should’ve stayed in the closet
• Bradley telling the truth (and regretting it)
• A 3-hour fight fueled by exhaustion and hormones
• Making up… eventually

We also talk honestly about what marriage looks like in this season of life:

• Parenting burnout and resentment
• Different love languages (and how that causes misunderstandings)
• Why late-night arguments are never a good idea
• Whether “I’m tired” is code for something deeper

Then we dive into Dear Roses, answering your anonymous relationship dilemmas, including:

💔 “I hate the gift he gave me. Do I tell him?”
👶 “I pretend not to hear the baby cry so my partner gets up. Am I terrible?”
💭 “I had a dream about my ex and woke up with butterflies. Do I confess?”
🔥 “Sometimes I say I’m too tired for sex… but I’m just not feeling connected.”
💣 “I found my sister-in-law on a dating app. What do I do?”

We’re sleep-deprived, slightly unhinged, and doing our best — which feels very on brand.

And yes… we also launched our newsletter.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we’re reading the most unhinged worst date stories you sent in — and whew… some of y’all have been THROUGH it.

Worst date story highlights

• A guy followed someone all the way to a police station… you won't believe what happens next.
• Someone accidentally texted their friend “this date is awful”… but it didn't go to the right person...
• A date disappeared for 35 minutes and was caught mid drug deal. Yes, you read that right.
• A grown adult pulled a childhood teddy bear out of her purse and started talking to it (with a voice). WHAT THE HECK?
• An ankle monitor buzzed all night because the guy was drinking margaritas in a bar… while being monitored.
• A man saw a dead duck on the road, reversed, and said: “That’s fresh.” (As in, let's go back and eat it...)

Plus: Sophia gets locked out of a hotel room with no pants on (classic), and Bradley refuses to share his “horrific” story… again. 😅

This episode truly has everything: listener feedback, a full-blown debate about the afterlife, and some of the worst Valentine’s gifts we’ve ever heard.

We dive into the results of our recent listener survey and react in real time to what you want more (and less) of on the podcast.

Apparently we “waffle”… but in a charming way? We’ll take it.

We also talk about:

• Requests for more behind-the-scenes life stuff
• Pop culture chat (but, like, loosely researched at best)
• Whether Bradley should have a cooking segment despite… not really cooking

Plus...

🎬 The Movie That Caused a Marital Debate

We watched Eternity starring Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller… and let’s just say Bradley has STRONG feelings about the main character’s romantic choices in the afterlife.

We rate it, we argue about it, and we want YOU to watch it and tell us who’s right.

And...

💘 Valentine’s Day: Romantic, Lazy, or Red Flag?

You sent us your best and worst Valentine’s gifts, and we put them on trial.

🧇 Final Thoughts

Yes, we waffled.
Yes, we argued about fictional afterlife marriage choices.
Yes, we judged your Valentine’s gifts.

And honestly? We’d do it all again.

🎧 Watch Eternity and tell us:
Was her choice romantic… or absolutely unhinged?
