voyescape.com. Welcome to Frequent Myler on the air. This week, well, actually, this week, we have to get the

0:17.7

elephant in the room out of the way right from the get-go. You know what I'm talking about? We do. Yeah, we need to figure out whatever you need to confess this week and let everybody know about.
