From parenting fails to life hacks, from deep reflections to funny moments, we cover it all-always with a sense of humor. Tune in for unfiltered conversations that connect with real people and bring relatable insights to the table.
Mack & G Show | Ep 15: Life Before Streaming and Smartphones
In this episode of The Mack & G Show, Johnny Mack and Ricky G reminisce about growing up in the ‘80s and the simple joys of childhood that shaped a generation. From bike rides and epic arcades to sneaking into movies and school lunch shenanigans, they explore how life then compares to kids’ lives today.
With candid stories and hilarious reflections, they ponder whether today’s childhood is safer but less adventurous. Highlights include:
• Biking mishaps and Evel Knievel-inspired jumps
• Arcade memories: Donkey Kong, Galaga, and Grand Prix
• The magic of shared TV moments like Happy Days and SNL
• School lunches and the cookie girl mystery
Whether you’re nostalgic or just curious, this episode is a trip back in time!
