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.
