Parent Confessions - Mackinac Island Gifts

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's start one oh five point seven with feel good
variety of the eighties till now. I'm Schmitty hanging with
you this morning, and every Wednesday we do confess. Okay,
I have to start by saying like we are in
a very frugal moment as a Schmitty fan. Okay, we're
trying to save money, you know, I mean if you've

(00:22):

trip to Macana Island this past weekend and I was
