This episode is about the 5 love languages! Get ready to hear Jake nerd out about couples therapy and why this book is... fine.

Jake and Brooke made this gift as an act of service to spend some quality time with you, readers, so be sure to give them words of affirmation in the reviews. I wasn't able to make "physical touch" fit in this joke.
