Join comedian Nat Baimel and the Unofficial Offical hostts for a laughter-filled journey through the heartwarming and hilarious corridors of Hallmark cards, where humor often hugs the line of appropriateness and 9-11 themed greetings become a subject of disbelief. This episode takes us from the complexities of modern love sealed with a stamp to the curious origins of Valentine's Day, all while pondering the profound in the everyday – from past life musings to the societal pressures of holiday traditions. Get ready to end the season with a blend of chuckles, philosophical banter, and a dash of awkward Valentine's Day memories that might just have you rethinking the sentiment behind your next greeting card purchase.
