“You mean the most maddening!” in Philly

 Video
Aug 202010
 

Here I am again with the ever-winsome Kerri-Lee Halkett on my weekly Fox Philly appearance for WalletPop.com. This time, I’m simply outraged about those ridiculous fees. Outraged, I say!

I love it when Kerri-Lee gets outraged along with me. Makes me realize how right I just might be.
