Summary

This week on The Wayback, Charlie Berens rides along as we head back to late ’90s/early 2000s Milwaukee. Growing up 1 of 12 kids, Charlie shares stories of van games, lake summers, church life, and the confusion of “touch math”. We also get into homemade clothes, Midwest childhood chaos, and a wild story of how he accidentally shot up the family minivan.
