Allison and Chris knew they'd eventually have to do this episode, and they're happy that they've officially recorded it, and it's now in the past.

Sounds fun, right?

You can listen to Chris's interview on CBC about IAA here.

The article that Chris referenced by Suma Chand about regret is also right here for you.
