Okay, yep. 43 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:04.560 But before Saint Valentine was a thing, there was this 44 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:11.599 fun little festival called lupercalia a festival, a festival, and 45 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:16.599 this was all about celebrating fertility, sex life, you know, 46 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.319 all the fun things a girly should celebrate on Valentine's Day. 47 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.319 Why weren't we alive during the percalia? Turned up? 48 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.280 The one little thing that might make this story a 49 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:33.639 little less appealing is the sacrifice of a goat. Oh yeah, 50 00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.000 so they would sacrifice a goat and then cut its 51 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.840 hide into strips and dip it in blood and slap 52 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:40.879 the women with it. 53 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.400 Oh like actually like slap yeah with blood.

I guess so is that 57 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.759 where like the pink and red colors? 58 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.919 You know, maybe, yeah, some things definitely stuck around, but 59 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:08.120 you know what, Okay, sacrifice, it's just like witchy girl activities. 60 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.360 Like it has to happen, you know. 61 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.639 So, now that we've gone over a little bit of 62 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.719 the history of Valentine's Day, I just thought would be 63 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:17.800 a fun, little cute thing. 64 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.039 I mean, get into the episode. Yeah, and we're just 65 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:26.360 gonna complain about like how single we are. Update Kate 66 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.439 and I are actually very much single, so single. But 67 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.199 you know what, coaches don't play no exactly. We do 68 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.479 this for you for our listeners, the best advice, and 69 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.400 we're just so selfless and so giving that you're going 70 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.680 to give you everything that you need for this Valentine's Day. 71 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.599 Yeah yeah, okay, So the big question is the one 72 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:48.800 that we're still asking ourselves, is where do you find Valentine? Yes, 73 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:51.319 so I have to be honest. 74 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.719 As an English major here at cal Poly, everyone in 75 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.319 my classes, they're primarily female, and unfortunately I'm straight and 76 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:04.560 so my options are very limited. But I do partake 77 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.599 in a dating app here or there, so. 78 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:09.319 Oh, me too, don't be ashamed. 79 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.479 Yeah, I mean yeah, it's the nature of college life, 80 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.000 and the dating apps here definitely vary. I have I 81 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.240 currently have Tinder and Hinge. 82 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.079 Me too, but like I don't use Tender. Tender is 83 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:23.720 more of a game. 84 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.920 I just like to like peruse the people, but the 85 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.839 second someone messages me, I'm like, mmm, no, thank you. 86 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.720 Yeah. Tinder is like having a huge menu like at 87 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:37.319 the cheesecake factory. Like it's just so intimidating because there's 88 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.560 so many people. Right, It's all pretty like surface level 89 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.800 as well. Yeah, yeah, whereas Hinge that's my that's my thing. See, 90 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.000 Hinge actually has prompts where it's like, what are you 91 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:48.360 up to? 92 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.120 What's your favorite thing? Like two truth and a lie, 93 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.680 so you get to know people a little bit more. 94 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.639 On Hinge, it just feels more of an app dedicated 95 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:01.279 towards longevity versus Tinder, which I I would definitely say 96 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.759 is a lot more hookup culture and just like finding 97 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.040 a booty call for the night, which no shame, but 98 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.560 you do you, Yeah, like maybe that's what you want 99 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:10.959 on Valentine's Day, get frisky. 100 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.600 Honestly, there's an idea. Yeah, And then I know a 101 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.800 few people that also use bumble. Yeah I've never used 102 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:18.480 it myself, but I feel like I've heard that, Like 103 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.519 the woman has to initiate first, yes, conversation, so that's 104 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:23.199 pretty cool. 105 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.639 Yeah, I think it has to be mutual match. And 106 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.959 then once you've matched, the woman has I think like 107 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.000 twenty four hours to send a message and initiate that. 108 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.439 So it's very much like you have to decide if 109 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.680 this is something you like, someone you want to talk to, 110 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.759 someone you want to figure things out with. I haven't 111 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.839 tried Bumble, but definitely a good option. 112 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:47.959 And I mean, like, all I can say about dating 113 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.959 apps is like, don't be ashamed. It doesn't hurt to try. 114 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.600 Like this is how we're meeting each other in this 115 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.800 day and age, and it's not bad if you feel 116 00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.639 like you have to download one in order to get 117 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.199 yourself out there. I think it's a great step. 118 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:05.040 Also, just for like working on communicating with someone who, 119 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.000 like you, potentially have a romantic interest in like, it 120 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.600 definitely helps to you know, figure out what you like 121 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.800 to talk about. Do you want to talk about yourself? 122 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:15.680 Do you have questions that you want to ask your partner? 123 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.240 Just kind of navigating that scene. It can sometimes be 124 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.160 easier to do it online versus in person. 125 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.240 Exactly, but if in person is more of your jam, 126 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.000 there's so many different places that you can meet someone, Like, 127 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.879 for example, class, I mean, you could always just turn 128 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:33.879 over to the person next to you if they're looking 129 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:37.360 kind of cute, ask for help on the homework. And 130 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.720 it's always good to have an in class crush. 131 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.000 Oh yeah, I make sure to like designate a person 132 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:43.959 in each of my classes because I'm like, I gotta 133 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.959 keep things interesting. I need to show up have someone 134 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.959 who are like, ooh hello. 135 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.600 Yeah, like this quarter is so boring because I don't 136 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.079 have one. Oh it's so sad. I see, I just 137 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:53.720 pick anyone. 138 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.279 I'm like, you are the person I'm trying to I 139 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.240 have no actual attachment to them. Yeah, I'm like, I'm 140 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.680 showing up for you because I can't be shown up 141 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:02.120 for class. 142 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.120 It's just not worth it. Okay. And then for all 143 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.759 of our freshmen out there, and the dorms are great 144 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.920 or transfer student second years living in PCV or Sarah 145 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.639 even some apartments, Yeah, exactly Mustang Village. I know. 146 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.480 Mustang Village definitely offers like a dorm like feel, and 147 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:20.800 there's people just milling about all the time. 148 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.240 It's that like proximity thing.

So make sure you know 162 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.000 what you're getting yourself into. 163 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.759 But if handled well, it can turn out absolutely amazing. Okay. 164 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.560 And then in the other place's parties, yes, this can 165 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.839 be a little bit difficult because it allowed music and 166 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.279 there's just so much chaos and like it can be 167 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.560 over stimulating sometime, but you know, this is one of 168 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:24.519 those scenes where you just have to be ford.

I'm sure that like Slow Doco will 323 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:18.960 be doing something for Valentine's Day, Like they'll probably have 324 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.039 some like decorated donuts, so that's always a fun option. 325 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:24.559 And then another thing I was thinking about is like 326 00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:26.480 kind of similar to like a Valentine's car, but more 327 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.080 of like a heartfelt like love letter. I think that 328 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:31.159 would be really nice or like a scrap book. 329 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:33.360 Yeah, or you know, go with a classic and write 330 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.879 someone a poem. Yeah, make it like really really fun 331 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:38.240 and festive and do a little love. 332 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.600 Yeah, write a sonnet. Don't make it too cheesy though, No, 333 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.159 get cheesy, become Shakespeare. Okay, that would give me the 334 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.080 ick though. Yeah, but like I think. 335 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:50.360 It'd be funny. You you decide on your cheese level 336 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:53.720 for this. But so those were some of our ideas 337 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:57.559 for like you and a significant other, but for those 338 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:01.559 who are single like am I, or those who would 339 00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:06.759 rather keep repeating it's like or single or remember that 340 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:08.079 time we told you we were single. 341 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:11.599 Yeah, like it's still We're still single. Yeah, nothing has 342 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.240 happened in the past, but like half hour No. 343 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.240 Anyways, if you are single or you would rather spend 344 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:21.480 the holidays with your friends, there's still plenty out there for. 345 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.240 You to do. Mm hmm so much so. Yeah. One 346 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:26.880 of the ideas that you brought up was like a 347 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:27.839 little singles party. 348 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:32.839 Yes, yeah, so like every single person that you know 349 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.000 just gets together to mingle and just like all the 350 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:39.079 singles in one room. 351 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.480 Maybe you'll find someone. Should we set that up? I 352 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:42.400 feel like we should. 353 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:46.440 I'm down and I'm saying, like anyone that you know, 354 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:52.599 like invite everyone exactly, because why not. But another idea 355 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:57.160 is like a first date party where everyone in attendance 356 00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:01.119 has to bring someone as like their first date. And 357 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.880 so I've talked about doing this with my friends because 358 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.359 we're all on the dating apps, so like just going 359 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:10.680 on like Hinge, Tinder, just texting someone and be like, hey, 360 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:13.640 like I'm having a party tonight. It's like a singles party. 361 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:14.839 Do you want to come? Do you want to like 362 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.480 attend with me? And I think that could be fun because, 363 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.720 like again, party environment has like a little bit less pressure, 364 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:24.680 especially if you let them know, like we're having a 365 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:29.119 like singles party where it's like everyone there is like 366 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:31.119 on a first date, but you still get to mingle 367 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:32.640 and you get to be around other people. 368 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.599 So that's always a fun option.
