I'm an idea guy. And generally speaking, when I have an idea, I take it to my wife for her feedback because she's the smartest person I know. So it stands to reason that she's heard hundreds of ideas from me over our 22 years of marriage. But she hasn't heard them all! In this episode, I share with my wife three different ideas that I've had over the years, but never did anything with. She offers her feedback, and hilarity ensues.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
