They also dish on how their digital cooking videos came to be, the inspiration behind Janet’s recipes, and her mission to revive some of her grandma’s iconic meals. Could this mean a cookbook… or a full-blown cooking show? Time will tell. And when it comes to time, Jared's family pug, Eugene is defying the clock. He shares a miraculous tale of a modern medical marvel and a dog resurrection!

Jared gives yet another update on his dating life (after that unchecked solo episode last week) and shares how some breakups just won’t “stick”. Also is at- home sourdough bread a thing again?
