The Gang Picks a Fight With Tom Hanks, America's Dad - Barrel to Bottle Makes the Diet Cokagne and More

The last time we took on a major celebrity and their absurd cocktail, it was Stanley Tucci’s shaken Negroni with vodka. Things didn’t so great for The Tooch, but will America’s Dad fare better? Earlier this year, Jim sent the group an article about Tom Hanks appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Hanks is not a big drinker, but he will add a splash of champagne to his Diet Coke. And that’s how an episode topic is born.
