A listener writes in carrying something they’ve kept hidden for a long time, afraid of how the people closest to them might react.

Shane really connects with this one, and alongside Beth, they talk it through.

This Valentine’s Day, Tipsy Topics, I Said What I Said, and Unscripted come together for a very special crossover episode celebrating Palentine’s because love isn’t just about romance, it’s about friendship, growth, and the people who get you through it all.

Beth, Shane, and Niamh sit down for a no-filter, chaotic chat about love in all its forms. From unhinged first dates, to red flags and feral stories like getting sick during a very intimate moment, there's nothing but honesty here.

The trio also play a game of Two Truths One Lie, talk about how you know someone is 'the one' and get deep talking about the importance of self-worth and self-love before anything else.

With all the oversharing there's also ideas for your palentine's day plans, along with movie recommendations for the love birds and those who need to be reminded why love might not be all it's cracked up to be.

Whether you’re single, taken, in a situationship, or just here for the craic, this episode is your reminder that love comes in many forms, and sometimes the best ones are platonic.

Happy Palentine’s 💕
