About this episode

J&J are back in the studio and Jared is in a mood. He reads the DM that’s been stewing in his mind before they look into TikTok’s new favorite couple. Jordana unleashes her thoughts on Pookie and Jett Puckett, but Jared’s opinion changes mid-conversation. Then, the first email is spiraling over a guy she likes still being active on the apps. If they’ve had two good dates, then what the f*ck is he doing on Bumble? The Awkward Encounter comes with excuses, but J&J are not having it. Next, they read an “Are We Dating?” submission that meets the definition of complicated. The episode ends with a round of “Red Flag or Deal Breaker?” about a family death, fitness accessories, and nicknames.
