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. 

My new holiday tradition thanks to Deadspin's year-in-review titled "What Did We Get Stuck In Our Rectums Last Year", an anecdote from a press conference after we got upset by Ohio in the NCAA Tournament my senior year, how athletes are conditioned to dislike the media and why Kawhi is wrong to blame them for the boos, how I wish college could train players to see the media as something to take advantage of instead of something to avoid like they currently do, everyone needs to stop complaining about James Harden, my top 10 NBA players, and Twitter questions!

Will played at IU and currently plays in Portugal. We talk about a lot this episode:
