Betty’s Buc-ee’s Christmas Song

Does Logan from CAIN Have A Better Marriage Than Wally?
Logan from the band CAIN and his wife Emily have only been married for 4 years. Wally and his wife Mardi have been married for 31 years. So Betty asked them some “Newlywed Game” style questions to see who knew more about their relationship Logan and Emily or Wally and Mardi. That was the fun […]
