What is the theme of this Valentine's Day episode?

Dan Le Batard 2:07
I happen to gravitate toward weird people. I think that weird is interesting. And I would love for everybody in our audience to have permission to be weird without being judged by the alleged normal. But let's put it on the poll. Do strange people know they're strange? Let me ask the group, though, how do you feel about Valentine's Day? Because I would say I have a new relationship with love in the last four or five years. And it's... It's as much to do with my wife as it is to do with the death of my brother. And so today is a day like every day is for me when you start realizing or come to grips with the idea that life is short. Any day is a good day to celebrate the people that you love. But people actively don't like this holiday because there's a commercialization of it that cheapens love.
Billy 2:59
This is dangerous ground, but did you and Lebo get each other Valentine's gifts? I don't understand why this is a particularly- That I appreciate love more.
Dan Le Batard 3:07
I appreciate love more than I did before. It's as simple as that.
Stugotz 3:11
And it feels like your wife expects you to do stuff on Valentine's Day in a way that maybe you didn't do stuff on Valentine's Day prior?
Dan Le Batard 3:18
Well, she expects me to pay attention about being present, is what she expects me to do. And there are many things that this job does that don't allow that. What are you laughing about, Billy?
Jessica 3:27
Well, because you're here.
Dan Le Batard 3:28
Yeah, that's right. Well, and so now you know why it is that I come in stomping in. Now you know why on Valentine's Day I come in stomping in because Stugatz was supposed to work today and I was not. We'll get back to love in a second. I want Tony and Jeremy and Jessica's opinion on Valentine's Day. Well, less so yours. There are a lot of plates you're spinning in the executive producer chair, so you don't have to concentrate on love today. You just have to concentrate on not making me hate you.
Jessica 3:58
You sound like my wife, honestly. This is the most at-home I've ever felt, is the way you're talking to me. Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself.
Dan Le Batard 4:07
Before we get to the back row's opinion about Valentine's Day, though, because of Stugatz's general unreliability, we've had a number of meetings with him about being more courteous with his schedule.
Jessica 4:19
And literally present.
Tony 4:21
And literally present. That's right. We're asking him to be in a conscious state of literally present. Thank you. Yes, we are asking him to reach enlightenment by being just simply present.
Dan Le Batard 4:31
But as you can see over there, his chair's not even in the right place. He's not here, and I wasn't supposed to be here today. But I want to play for you guys some sound at the beginning of Shannon Sharp and Ocho Cinco talking on Nightcap. They've got a very popular show. They've got a growing show. It's easy to see why it is it's popular and growing.
