CBS' Champions League coverage has provided fans with constant laughs in recent times and the team of Kate Abdo, Michah Richards, Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher were at it again on Tuesday night.
The quartet were covering AC Milan's last 16 first-leg against Spurs, along with PSG's crunch fixture with Bayern Munich, yet matters quickly turned away from football.
Abdo was asked whether she had any plans for Valentine's Day, to which she responded: "No I don't have a hot date for tonight."
But the conversation was far from finished. In fact, it was only just getting started, and Henry's opinion had the studio in stitches.
The discussion between the pair soon moved on to talking about gift-giving – something Henry couldn't quite get his head around.
"Did you receive a gift?", Henry said to Richards and Carragher.
"No, we have to give the gift, don't we," replied Carragher.
"Sorry, we can we not get any?", Henry asked inquisitively.
The French icon was then asked by Abdo whether he'd received a gift this year, to which the former Arsenal striker gave a smug response.
"Hopefully, when I go home, something might pop up," he joked.
"Thierry, what time is it?", replied Richards, who was in fits of laughter by this point.
"No, no, I'm talking about flowers, chocolate," Henry then clarified. "Your mind is wrong."
Aside from joking about Valentine's day, Henry also gave some fascinating insight into two of the world's best strikers – Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.
The pair are the top two scorers in the Premier League this season, with Haaland having netted 25 goals for Man City so far and Kane 17 for Spurs.
Yet, Henry argued that the England captain would actually have been a better fit for City because of his all-around game.
"There was one piece of advice that Arsene Wenger gave me that stayed with me, he said: 'What can you do when your team is not feeding you'.
"I think sometimes Haaland is making the same run, whoever is on the ball."
In the end, Tottenham suffered a 1-0 defeat at the San Siro and have it all to do in the second leg.
Antonio Conte's side have now lost two on the bounce and pressure is mounting on the Italian, with a number of fans growing impatient with the side's inconsistent form.
Next up for Spurs is a derby against West Ham in the Premier League this Sunday.
