After recapping their own plans for their holiday, they dive into their favorite past Valentine’s and Galentine’s Days. They discuss their thoughts on the holiday itself and how it is best to celebrate, whether you’re single or in a relationship.

In The Drama Club segment, Kim and Grandma Gail break down some of the most famous celebrity engagements of the past few months. From Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco to Zendaya and Tom Holland, love has been in the air in Hollywood! In The Grandma Report, they discuss a BBC article that reports on the importance of rituals in relationships. Engaging in rituals with your significant other, friends, and family, helps strengthen your bonds; this can be anything from a morning routine to a kiss on your partner’s cheek before leaving for work.

In The Rewind, Kim & Grandma Gail discuss their favorite romcoms and how these expectations and romanticized notions have affected modern dating and mindsets. In Grandmda Gail’s voicemail, a listener calls in to get Grandma Gail’s advice on looking for a man with manners in NYC. Do you have to give up on southern hospitality just because you’re living in a northern city? Speaking of old-fashioned manners…in this week’s game of Should We Bring It Back?, they’re discussing romantic gestures. Bringing flowers to a first date? Opening the car door? Pulling out a woman’s chair? Let us know what you think!

The episode closes out with a lightning round of Ask Grandma Anything, where Grandma Gail answers questions like what she looked for in a husband to how she deals with tough days.
