Valentine’s Day’s dark history gets exposed, plus why NOT to buy Temu for your sweetheart: all this and more on Friday Night Live with Ben and Rob.

For some, Valentine's Day is a time to celebrate romance between loved ones. For others, it’s purely a “Hallmark holiday,” with companies cashing in on everything from jewelry, cards, and gifts to overpriced dinners, lavish marriage proposals, and even cheap Temu gifts. However, how did Valentine's Day really start, and how did it come to be the holiday we all know today? Did you know it has a dark origin story just like most holidays that were rooted in weird, occult rituals? With bargain hunters looking for inexpensive gifts, Temu sales have risen, too. But Edge of Wonder uncovered certain dark truths and sinister practices Temu has reportedly been using, including forced labor in which “employees” are forced to work 75 hours a week for mere dollars. Join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts on this Friday Night Live as they reveal the sour taste of the true origins of Valentine’s Day.
Also be sure not to miss the weekly “Bendela Effect” (a.k.a. Mandela effect segment) and the Metaphysical Minute. On Rise TV during the “Dig Deep” Live Q&A, ask Ben and Rob your questions directly. Finally, in the fan-favorite Top 10 Weirder News of the Week, hear hilarious and intriguing stories, such as pizza-inspired perfume, the best odds of spotting Bigfoot, the largest known object in the universe, and more. And as always, see you out… On the edge!
