Love, Lies & Rock Ballads: Valentine’s, The Halftime Show, and Kool-Aid Politics

This week on The Bearded Baldcast: A Wes Side Story, we’re covering a little bit of everything—just like a chaotic Valentine’s Day dinner where the restaurant overbooks and your steak comes out well-done.

First, we talk about Valentine’s Day, the holiday that forces us all to decide between grand romantic gestures or aggressively ignoring overpriced chocolates. Then, it’s all about the Super Bowl Halftime Show—was it legendary or just another overhyped spectacle? (And no, I don’t care what your uncle on Facebook said about it.)

Next, we dive into the awkward reality of friends who drank the Kool-Aid on President Trump—how do you even navigate those conversations without your blood pressure spiking? Do you just smile and nod? Send them a history book? Move to a remote cabin in the woods? We’ll talk about it.

And finally, we close things out with a deep dive into Broadway’s cast recording of Swept Away—because if there’s one thing that can make sense of all this chaos, it’s some damn good storytelling set to music.

Buckle up, because this one’s got love, politics, rock ballads, and a whole lot of opinions. Let’s do this!
