Valentine’s Day Is a Scam… Until This Happened

About this episode

Tez explores the true meaning of Valentine's Day beyond commercialism and emotional pressure.

This Valentine’s Day episode breaks down what the holiday really means ...beyond flowers and Instagram posts. After donating 60 meals and learning a hard lesson about preparation and service, Tez explores whether Valentine’s Day is romantic, cliché, or just emotional pressure disguised as love. Are proposals on February 14th cute or convenient? Is the holiday meaningful or commercial? And who is Valentine’s Day actually for? This episode brings humor, reflection, and real perspective on love in all its forms.
