Bethenny Frankel’s TikTok about pen pals sparks a debate between J&J and questions why this trend is still a topic years later as if it’s brand new. They act out how to handle a pen pal in dating when texts keep coming but no plans are being made. Later Jared and Jordana read a petty or prudent email about an ex still making NFL survivor pool picks after a breakup. They then question what counts as creepy and whether an age gap is a valid concern. J&J discuss age gaps in dating and explain when it is fine for older men to ask younger women out.
