This week Megan tells you the story of a minister who is the woooooorst at Valentine’s Day gifts (and you get to hear the best joke Kara’s ever made), and Kara teaches all of us about the dark and scandalous history behind Valentine’s Day. We both hate this holiday a little less after learning how it all started.
