Mythical Beasts, a question is like... something we answer on Thursdays.

Okay. We asked you to ask us questions about Valentine's Day!

And our first question comes from Brandon  Martin, who asks, "What do I get that

special lady in my life that insists that 'You don't have to get me anything,

OK, first of all, we all know that this is a trick question.

-Yes. -So step one is realizing that this is

Now, I fell for the trap  -I have too- and took

the request at face value in Valentine's past,

-It never does. -But then the next year, anything I did

could beat it out. -That's a different strategy.

That's the long term approach. We're not going to address that today.

So step one is realizing that this is a trap.

And you know what? You're already there, Brandon,

Not answering it. We're going to answer it. You ask, we answer.

but we didn't have one. So we forgot how it all works.

OK, so we actually have a foolproof method

You make a donation to a charity on their behalf, in their name.

-First of all-- -Does it need an explanation?

wham. Amazing. -If they're a genuinely good person,

they're just going to be, "Oh, that was the sweetest thing. I love you."

going to be upset that you didn't get them something.

They can't be upset with you,  because you gave to a charity!

You can't be mad at someone who gives to a charity.

Especially if it's a charity that has  them in mind.

They like animals? Give to an animal shelter.

Tall Clubs International. -Not a real charity.

It is. I don't know if it's actually a  charity, but it is a thing.

Listen, the next year, they are not going to say that, and they will be very

specific about what they want you to get them.

-This will work. -Plus, you'll know what type of

person they are, by their reaction. -Yes, true.

Because if they just get upset, then... you need to break up.

Faith Van Cleeve sends it in, and it's "What's the point of...

OK, well, the point of Valentine's Day is celebrating a little crazy thing

that we call love. And the question behind that question is,

"What is love?" Did you hear me when I sang

that at the beginning of this? -Yes. Contrary to what you may think,

love can be boiled down to just science. Of course, we don't need to sit here and

yammer on about that when we can just cut to:

[Link] When you're falling in love with someone,

dopamine, adrenaline and norepinephrine turn the pleasure

while also causing your pain centers to shut down.

This changes the way you see the world, making everything seem great.

[Rhett] In other words, love isn't something you can control.

Love is a sliding glass door, and your  brain is Melvin.

[Rhett] Melvin gets excited when he sees the  pinata at Gary's annual garden party.

[Link] But, just like love, Melvin doesn't see that glass door coming.

[Rhett] He smashes into the door face first,

breaks his nose, and leaves the party embarrassed.

[Link] As Melvin is riding his bike home that night, he catches the most

wonderful scent he's ever smelled, and he starts to follow it.

[Rhett] He turns a corner and is surprised to find that the smell is coming from

It turns out that just like love can  change your perception of reality,

breaking his nose on that sliding glass  door turned all bad smells

[Link] Melvin follows the truck all the way to the local landfill, where he discovers

the most delicious cornucopia of garbage in the world.

[Rhett] He begins rolling around in the trash, making snow angels in the medical waste,

when he comes upon an especially fragrant pile of dog vomit and smears it all over

his body. Because to him, it smells like a Cinnabon factory.

[Link distorted] Little does Melvin know that the vomit came from a female who was in heat.

[Rhett distorted] Local stray dogs catch the scent wafting off of Melvin and start surrounding him.
