On the radio

My wife and I were interviewed for a local radio show, Mornings with Grant and Amanda on KSL . The interview was part of a feature they are doing on Valentine's Day. The interview was a lot of fun. We talked about the gifts you should give and what is not a good idea. It was supposed to be broadcast today from 5 AM to 9 AM. If you heard it, leave a comment, even if I sounded like a doofus.
