  • Puppy Love & Valentine’s Pressure
    Feb 11 2026

    Hosts: Sue, Yosh, & Von

    In this episode of the Vary Necessary Podcast, Von, Yosh, and Sue start things off with some lighthearted "doggie talk" before tackling the high stakes of Valentine’s Day—a holiday Yosh takes very seriously.
    ​The crew breaks down the differing expectations between men and women, exploring whether the tradition of "pampering" should be a two-way street. With special guest input from our producer, Yusuf in the Building, we get a balanced look at how to navigate the romantic landscape without breaking the bank (or your spirit).
    ​Join the conversation and tell us: How are you showing up for your partner this year?
