Kevin and the rides.

Kevin, Talley's husband, rides along on every ride, which is why the reviews thank “Talley and Kevin” together.

“I call it the endless double date because my husband and I do the rides together.”

Talley Hutcherson

“Everything I do is private, so I don't take groups of people that don't know each other.”
