FULL EPISODE: Coping With Valentine's Day Disappointment - February 11, 2026

Here's who I am.

The Last Show with David Cooper

This is where I'm at these days.

The Last Show with David Cooper
FULL EPISODE: Coping With Valentine's Day Disappointment - February 11, 2026

And I can get comfortable in that pocket, so to speak, versus the discomfort of not meeting someone else's or societal expectation.

The Last Show with David Cooper
FULL EPISODE: Coping With Valentine's Day Disappointment - February 11, 2026

And let's face it, David, Valentine's Day is huge, huge money.

The Last Show with David Cooper
FULL EPISODE: Coping With Valentine's Day Disappointment - February 11, 2026

Yeah.

The Last Show with David Cooper
FULL EPISODE: Coping With Valentine's Day Disappointment - February 11, 2026

Before we get to the huge money, I want to talk about comparing yourself to others because that's like that's a real trap.

The Last Show with David Cooper
FULL EPISODE: Coping With Valentine's Day Disappointment - February 11, 2026

Right.

The Last Show with David Cooper
FULL EPISODE: Coping With Valentine's Day Disappointment - February 11, 2026

Only person you should be comparing yourself to is yourself yesterday.

So I just want to I want to underscore that if you fall into that trap of like looking at other people's stories on social media about Valentine's Day, that's like the director's cut of their life.

That is not their real life.

The Last Show with David Cooper

And so you just have to be careful.

The Last Show with David Cooper

So agree with you.

However, Victoria's Secret's.

The sales are going to be off the chart this week leading up to that.

The Last Show with David Cooper

The restaurants all have special menus.

The Last Show with David Cooper
FULL EPISODE: Coping With Valentine's Day Disappointment - February 11, 2026

There's huge money in that.

The Last Show with David Cooper
FULL EPISODE: Coping With Valentine's Day Disappointment - February 11, 2026

So the societal push, you know, from my perspective, it's generated, again, by making money.

The Last Show with David Cooper
FULL EPISODE: Coping With Valentine's Day Disappointment - February 11, 2026

And many people fall into that trap.

The Last Show with David Cooper
FULL EPISODE: Coping With Valentine's Day Disappointment - February 11, 2026

You know, I'm a capitalist.

The Last Show with David Cooper
FULL EPISODE: Coping With Valentine's Day Disappointment - February 11, 2026

I'm into making money, no issue.
