After that, the rest of your answers to the Question from Hell, including the week's winner, and another Moment of Truth from Jeff Dorchen.\n\nCheck out Brian's article here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0094582X231213614\n\n\nHelp keep This Is Hell! completely listener supported and access weekly bonus episodes by subscribing to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thisishell
