another one was a Roman um what did I say was the pagans they would sacrifice a goat then skin it take the skin and gently slap women and they're gently that's the part she remembers and then they gently slap the women and the and the crops so it would um for fertility right yeah fertility um no thank you um I'm all set too I would just like chocolate and some flowers well maybe I would take beans gently slapped with goat skin at this point if that's all I'm gonna we're going to shake it up this huh this Valentine's Day we're going to shake it up oh my gosh travel good morning Miss Sandy

apps ahead of Valentine's Day this is an article that came out of CBS news they their data team they said hinge the buildup to love hinge the app designed to be deleted according to its slogan experienced an increase in activity two weeks leading up to Valentine's day compared to the same period in 2023 a number of likes surged but leading up to Valentine's Day you think people have like love on their mind and they're thinking why not me I think they're thinking this on the website I'd hit that once again still can't believe I own this shirt and then there it's like a it's like a um it's like a fly trap for girls because we're all excited and guys are like oh yeah what's up Gloria Gloria poor thing is snowed in in Canada and you lost your hat somebody stole her favorite hat out

always like please share in the comments some of the things that you see I wish people could hey on these dating apps because once again I've been married since birth so I don't really know call in now and tell us your stories I really wish we had callers but yeah the lies I mean I'm always like call me right now I'm sitting here in my pajamas or whatever and if they don't want to call you and show you their face then you're like what do you look like yeah what what is going on I had a moment with one of my friends and he was scrolling through the dating app showing me all of the availability that was nearby I think it was grinder I was like I've never seen this happen in real life what are we doing here what do we like what do we don't like he's like uh uh uh yuck yuck yuck lies I've shut it off i' i' he reached his capacity for the BS within minutes but I really like that guys have that like discernable not ever no no no no where girls are like he's kind of cute what do you think maybe yeah I like his glasses look at his dog he has a cat he's got to be nice I had that moment where I got to sit next to a guy that was going through dating up and it was like nope nope yeah they're like bad teeth weird eyebrows big nose it was a very different experience hey Nate what's going on he said how are you ladies doing this morning people are uncreative these days as well yes and I'm sorry I'm not gonna swipe to the right if you if every picture is of you and your cat I think that's a little much I'm not against it I feel like that shows sensitivity Eva says just canceled hinge horrible and I can hear you it with your accent I can hear it too horrible horrible I love you this thing is driving me B oh it's it's a bit itchy I probably have a rash by the time I get to my meeting today I hope I don't get any of my food at work because it's stuck in my Bumble confident connections Bumble also reported a spike in user activity during the week's surrounding Valentine's Day they said that the trend 72% of users globally are searching for long-term Partners so there are people looking for love looking P up in all the wrong places what is the dysfunction I had a great conversation with a woman named Fel who is creating a documentary for Netflix and she is putting together all of this thing and what she's noticing is the same thing that we noticed last year when we did our speed dating event was there were 47 women and eight guys Y and then guys were young yeah that's another thing so many young guy I'm like do they think I have money am I like a sugar mama CU I don't so it leads me to the question of where are all the single men all the cowboys gone of a certain age like 30 to 60 where are those guys are they either dead are they married are they like trying to date 20-year-olds like Bill bellich they've been fed or are they on the other team they're UFO that's where they are that's where we got to go ladies all right here we go back they're on Mars they're there they found water they found water Gloria say she could never do any dating apps Chris says happy VD ladies do we really want to State it that way I know yeah that sounded a little weird um still gets that way I don't yeah I don't understand I remember in college you know how you met your boyfriends or guys you know it's like you'd meet so many you didn't know what to do well at least I'm like I I didn't have that me too moment well also I was in the military so I did have my choice and where I was stationed at for Gordon in Georgia there were 360 males in our dorm eight females and two straight females so I really had my pick of the litter there thank you thank you for doing your service I really did my service everybody you should have I was married I didn't even part I could have could have show have what no I'm kidding I'm fine I'm good like I'm so thankful no that's not the time to do it you were that I have this human in my life that I could never see myself without so I'm I'm very blessed I'm thankful for that but it's also a lot of work well the new trend is there's a lot of thres because there's just a tagalong friend I'm one to a lot how many times have you been a tagalong friend well Lindsay tag along like to dinner oh the third wheel is what the Third Wheel not in the bedroom gotcha I I you know I'm not judging here Nate says I hate to say it but long-term relationships aren't as big as they used to be okay well how about a consistent person you go out to dinner with once a week and you have relations and cuddle not all the time I'm busy too right is that so bad to ask I mean I feel like a Willy Wonka ticket I don't want to get married I don't want to have kids I just want somebody to like I got a golden ticket I just want somebody to cuddle with and like go to the movies or have dinner couple times a week maybe even once I'm fine I'm pretty busy I had another one of our single friends that had been dating somebody sort of exclusively but they didn't say the words exclusively why do you even have to say that nowadays but she was at the place and found um underwear of someone else and then it was like seriously we've been at this for like two months yeah I I I don't even know what and then it was like oh we didn't have the conversation like do yeah uh you didn't write the abbreviations down that's what it was is there a contract now do you have to like get it in writing is there a text does it has to be like formalized before you're like I thought we were just only doing that like a prenup to a date yeah I think it's just so grimy it's not I don't know I don't know what it is what happened to just being a decent human not it has nothing to do with dating or whatever like like you're from Tinder so you're allowed to be creepy you know like good morning Susan Stephanie thank you for joining us uh Nate funny story the other day I was handed a flyer to be on a dating game show to win a date with a girl I crumpled it up and said I'm all set why I wanted more to that Nate I mean you're young you're like 20 you go on those dates yeah why would you crumble it do all of those things that's what you're supposed to do at your age at our age we've done all that we're over it by the way we are having a fun little game show tonight at dos every single Friday night we have a different Friday night social tonight starts at 8 o'clock and we're doing a newlyweds game so if you are in I know so we have two CPL doing at a different night because I work Friday I'm sorry I'm sorry we have to rearrange this Saturday we have to rearrange the schedule because Lindsay said so Saturdays work better so it's starting at 8 o'clock and then it's going to be followed up by just request dance so come and hang out with us every single Friday so dos is not only are those things fun I really like the food yeah you know yeah I think they do a great job right all of our restaurants are looking for a place today is not the day for you to go and complain about it was full I didn't have a reservation please don't God please just go don't be that person well even my husband and I were like we're so supremely just busy in all of our businesses Cody's basketball has sucked the life out of me this season um and I think that's all our problem we're all so busy that when we get a minute to sit then we're we're not used to like it's that's what happens in a restaurant and you want people to take their time you don't want people to rush your food and burn it and make it crappy just everyone needs to chill out I know but I also understand like the flipping of tables it's like hurry up and eat hurry up and get here hurry up and leave and I I love the European let's linger a little bit they never rush over to get your check it's actually kind of annoying it's so like they won't talk to you again unless you need to pay and then you have to go hunt them right but you also can't be a camper so I like that there's a border camping out the campers are what when you you have your empty glasses in front of you and like one bite of your dessert and you're just in a deep conversation for 45 minutes like at at least long as you're buying a little something every every 10 minutes done no they're done that's the camper part got they' got a sip and a bite and they're like oh just so Steph says honestly that's all it should just be easy and I don't understand why it's so difficult for people to just get out of their own way I I was thinking of a good are we too picky I think we're all just uptight with this weather and this time of year now that we have everything on Demand right we have food when we want it we've got internet when we want we've got anything that we could possibly think of when we want it we don't have to watch commercials oh my God waiting to watch commerci it's all that stuff like are we too picky now because we get what we want when we want it all the time and that's just not something you can do with love oh is this our problem love is something that needs to be simmered it's a Crockpot right it's one of those things that has to be cultivated I truly believe that I won't meet someone on an app it has to be um organic you know where you feel the chemistry I think that's what's not happening but is everybody waiting for their prince charming is everybody waiting for their princess like it's it's never going to be the perfect shoe that fits right right I think even when you get the perfect shoe you still have to wear them and you get calluses and sometimes the back of your heel gets whatever until your foot gets used to it it's not like Amazon you can't return it you know so that's the kind of thing uh so I think it's a combination of we are too picky we expect de development of a relationship to happen immediately and then we expect this to just be perfectly form fitting and I think these are all the things that we're struggling with right now I just think Ander Ai and robots now we don't need other humans we'll make the ones we like or go and leave the planet like Lindsay's planning yeah come aboard Come Aboard we're exp you the love ship Gloria says I'm never waiting happens when it happens I agree well what about um forming a group called I have a friend I think people don't introduce people enough you know or think of others that way like you know when was the last time like you just said that woman about with the bad dates oh my God you guys should talk you have the same thing so why don't we why don't we meet up and talk about that yeah people say that all the time like I have a friend oh he's so funny why don't you take that extra step you know so people all my friends that are married God love you Cliff but I mean can you get some single get some friends any any friends please or I'm like can can you go out if you see someone semi decent looking be like are you looking for any go to the bowling alley on Wednesdays he's the commission of the league maybe you can point out the single ones to you and you can at least do a walkthrough well how about a a single bowling leag let's talk to the lanes if they'll do a bowling night Nate says restaurant industry can be stressful around big holidays because some of the managers will stress and flip the tables real quick absolutely I mean it's also everyone is going to be stressed it's the commodity you need the money right we want the tips we want the money it's a it's a good day for the restaurants and I knew we were going to be busy and we literally just were like Happy Valentine's Day maybe next weekend we can get together yeah bye no it's it's not a day to really go all out I mean even when my boys were little I would make heart-shaped pancakes for them and

hus Library it was packed we had an absolute ball and we raised thousands of dollars for the high library and all their Endeavors they do so many things like food fridges um Antonia does such an

Valentine's Day Lindsay the Doom and Gloom Valentine's Origins by Lindsay there was blood there were pigs there was a Slaughter and they all got taken away to spaceship yeah right so uh things that are celebrated throughout the world today is that day in um Italy where everybody writes the thousands of Letters to Juliet wishing for love oh I know that there was a little movie on Netflix or Hulu

provinc toown this is the last weekend for their breakfast buffet oh no eggs are too expensive yeah right 15% up and I know I I heard somebody a cranky old man on the radio yesterday I don't understand why everybody's complaining it's $10 but to somebody that's on a budget that is used to spending $3 that now has to spend $10 it's it was just very out of touch and I was really disappointed in the human CU I really love this human I know and it I mean eggs are in like everything but think of a restaurant that has to buy thousands of them it's not just five of them where we're at home and we oh We're Not Gonna Bake that because we're out of eggs you know what I mean or we're not waiting for a chicken to cluck one out a chain chain reaction of then your breakfast is more expensive and you can't complain you have to understand the whole everybody's devastated Paul we love your breakfast buffet we just brought it back after Co can't we eat like we need to find a

have fun with it it did force me out of my box yeah and I was there thank God for Pinterest at the time I was like what about this look at that the worst is now you know and then there's the double
