Happy Valentine’s Day, history besties! Whether you’re blissfully in love, dodging dating apps like a pro, or just here for the weird history (respect ✊), this episode is for you. We’re diving deep into history’s strangest, grossest, and most WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT aphrodisiacs and ancient booty calls. Spoiler: some people really went to extreme lengths to set the mood.

💘 What’s on the Love Potion Menu?

🪲 Spanish Fly: The original "love potion" (also, uh, poison).

📞 YOU UP?: The 5 am booty call of Heian Japan

💍 What Came Before Dating: a brief history of what came before tinder

🐦 Bird Spit Soup: Because nothing says romance like eating a swiftlet’s spit.

🔥 The Worst One Yet: I won’t spoil it, but trust me—your flabbers will be GASTED.

💋 Why Listen?

If you’ve ever side-eyed modern dating, this episode will make you grateful that the worst we have to deal with is ghosting and bad pickup lines. At least no one's force-feeding you... well, you’ll see.
