In this relaxed, unscripted episode, Agnes and Ryan catch up on Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day, a miniseries about President Garfield, and the difference between Fat Tuesday and Polish Fat Thursday. They discuss the Lunar New Year and the year of the fire horse, Lent overlapping with Ramadan, and remember public figures who died, including Jesse Jackson. Agnes shares that her song and book are now on streaming and retail sites.
