The team closes out with Jasmine’s humorous rundown of top Valentine’s Day ideas — from wine tastings to DIY spa days — echoing wider 2026 trends that favor meaningful, personalized experiences over pricey displays.

FULL EP | Right wing law makers still upset with Bad Bunny’s performance; Are children with strict parents' better liars; San Francisco teachers strike for the first time in fifty years; Five mixed signals women give men about Valentine’s; and More Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

This episode kicks off with a cultural flashpoint: right‑wing lawmakers are still fuming over Bad Bunny’s history‑making Super Bowl performance, which was delivered entirely in Spanish and showcased Puerto Rican pride. While conservative figures—including President Trump—blasted the show as “un‑American” and “indecent,” others praised it as a powerful display of unity and representation.

From there, the team dives into a viral debate over whether strict parents raise better liars, reinforced by social media discussions and parenting commentary that echo the idea that fear‑based households push kids toward deception as a survival skill. The Question of the Day is do you believe kids with strict parents are better liars. They also examine San Francisco's first teachers’ strike in nearly 50 years, where educators walked out over wages, health benefits, and untenable living conditions in one of the nation’s most expensive cities. The show closes with Jasmine Sanders’ hilarious breakdown of the mixed signals women send around Valentine’s Day—like pretending the holiday doesn’t matter while absolutely expecting effort—capturing the playful contradictions that keep relationships entertaining.
