This time I'm joined by my wife Courtney in order to imitate Sean Evans' and First We Feast's webs series Hot Ones. Instead of eating chicken wings with increasing heat before every question, we take big gulps of our drinks and see where it takes us. Courtney went the sappy rout with her questions and I went random. Lots of drinking. Lots of laughs. Off the rails.
