My name's Ronnie, I'm a lion, and I'm here to teach you about Valentine's Day,

The day where, ladies, you get really upset because you think your boyfriend or your husband

doesn't like you because he didn't buy you something really expensive like a ring, or

he didn't buy you what you wanted, but you never told him what you wanted, and then you

don't talk to him and then you get into a fight.

That doesn't make sense, just like me wearing a lion costume.

I'm going to explain to you guys the history of Valentine's Day.

I will never understand why people get so upset on Valentine's Day, because guess what?

If a guy likes you it's not about buying you gifts, it's about being with you and spending

Enjoy their company, have a nice dinner, go out and kill people or something.

Go and get whipped with blood or something in animal skins, okay?

Because that's how we really celebrate Valentine's Day.

So, guys, if you've got a girlfriend that gets angry because you don't buy her the right thing,

Maybe you could be executed and that would be better.

Maybe Valentine's Day is about being executed.

Let's go into the history of Valentine's Day.

When I researched this, what a lot of crazy stories.

Every year it's the same day, it's February the 14th.

So if you're watching this and you haven't gotten your girlfriend a gift, get out,

Ladies, do you buy your boyfriend a gift on Valentine's Day?

So you get upset because the guy didn't buy you a good gift, but what'd you buy him?

Do men get upset and start to cry, and: "Oh, I didn't get a good gift."

Valentine's Day as we know it now, I guess, is to honour a Catholic saint.

But the thing was there wasn't just one, there were many Catholic saints and their names

So, the day as we know is to honour Catholic saints named Valentine.

So there was a really, really special guy and his name was Saint Valentine-see, I told you

Mm-hmm, yeah, he was killed in the year 270.

The reason why he was killed is he would perform marriages or he would marry couples.

So, Valentine's Day this guy would marry people and then they killed him.

The reason why he was executed is because the Emperor or the guy in charge named Claudius II

had apparently strict anti-marriage laws.

I don't know if any of this is true, but this is what I found.

So, apparently he, Claudius II wanted his soldiers to not be married so they could concentrate

So he reckons that if they got married they wouldn't want to die for him and save their

country, so he didn't like the idea of love and people getting married, so in the year

-they have documents of this-they executed this Saint Valentine.

Now, when I was researching: Why February the 14th?

So, if we go back before this, the ancient Romans, they celebrated what's called the

A fertility festival means that in the springtime most things-humans, plants, animals-are ready

So, a fertility festival, basically they want people to have sex and have babies.

So these two guys were hanging out in a cave.

Their names were both starting with "R", and basically their names were Romulus and Remus.

They're hanging out in a cave with their mother or with a woman, and this woman was actually

So, there's two guys, Romulus and Remus, they're hanging out in a cave with a woman who's a wolf.

So, what they did is they would sacrifice...

They would dip the goat skin in blood, so they would kill the goat, rip off his skin,
