Makin' it with the Mackins Danielle and Mackin

We’re back in the stu to recap our Easter and propose what the rules and regulations should be for baskets and the bunny.

We’ve now realized that when you give your kid a phone not only are you giving them access to the world, but you’re giving the world access to your kid. Well, the world got in and it prompted us to have “the talk” with Dom.

We touch on some of Danielle’s birthday week and how she almost got in the car with another family, after a wine pickup.

We had to include the latest birthday themes requested by Leo and as always, our child of the week rankings.

If you’re new here, we go a little deeper into some more sensitive topics on the last episode of Real. Late. Relatable. If you haven’t subscribed yet, we left some juicy convos for you to listen to for the low low price of $5/month.

We love you all and are so grateful for each and every listen. Thank you so much!

Danielle says it best in her intro, these two incredible people need no introduction nor could we do one justice. In this episode, we're joined by Josh and Krystal Galindo.
You may recognize them from seeing their famous Double G’s around Vegas, but we were first introduced to them as Beckham’s parents. They are amazing parents, extremely hardworking and they have such great perspectives on life.
We talk about their keys to success in business and marriage by sticking to their unique strengths. Josh touches on the idea that life is less about searching for balance because you can’t balance chaos. And that they find a sweet spot centering their 24/7 lives in a rhythm that ebbs and flows appropriately. 
We talk about tapping into a “no, no” mindset that allows them to accomplish their goals without fear of falling short. We share stories about the importance of youth sports and its impact on developing discipline, and accountability and weighing the pros and cons of kids playing multiple sports vs. focusing on one primary sport.
Lastly, Josh shares the unbelievable story of his arranged kidnapping when he was a teenager and how it turned out to be one of the best things that has ever happened to him.
We’re so grateful to the Galindos for taking time out of their incredibly busy lives to share with our listeners. We had such a fun time sitting with them again and we hope you enjoy this episode. Thank you for listening!

New studio, new mics, who dis?! We thought we would venture out of the comfort of our home and try recording in a new space and we had a great time! Don’t get too used to it though, because we’re going on the road.



Listen to the next episode of Real. Late. Relatable for all the details in how we’re switching things up a bit and leveling up the podcast.



It’s been a fun couple of weeks! Danielle had the amazing opportunity to guest host Aimee & Shawn in the morning on 102.7 VGS with our good friend, Aimee Thomas. She spent weeks preparing but then the day before decided to get Summerlin mom, day drunk. It wasn’t the most responsible choice but thankful everything worked out.



Mackin was fine for the most part but was definitely annoyed with certain aspects of the day. We never even talked about it… till now on the episode!



For all of you who enjoy the “Things Said After Sex” segment, we’ve decided to make it a little more interactive. Keep an eye on our Instagram stories to find out how.



We also talk about compromising different parenting styles, how strangers treat you when you have a dog vs. a kid, and what Danielle means by “encouraging wake behavior.”



Now that we are officially in our "no" era, we have a new slogan for life, we're putting the negative back in positive parenting. We hope you support us in this valiant cause.



The kids have been pretty good as of late but that doesn’t stop Mackin from picking apart their flaws and ranking them accordingly. We love you all, thank you for your continued support, and thank you for listening!

It’s been a tough couple of weeks. We were unfortunately grieving the loss of Danielle’s cousin, Nick Scinta. Nick was so amazing and such a light in our lives in his brightest moments. It’s always shocking like this when something happens but it was so beautiful to see the whole family come together to honor his life.

It wasn’t easy but we tried to transition into funnier topics, Nick definitely would have laughed! One thing we’re not laughing at, is our kids laughing. Is it just us or is kids hysterically laughing for too long the most annoying sound in the world? No? Must be just us then.

Other things we complain about are how the kids have forced Mackin into never saying yes, to anything ever again. The constant requests, complaints, and preferences have forced him and we just pray he comes around.

As always, Mackin ranks the kids and has plenty of new birthday party theme requests from Leo. We love you all, thank you for your continued support, and thank you for listening!

We are happy to be back, in audio form. We took a break from the lights, camera, and action to sit and just talk.

We've decided that January is the hangover from the previous year and that new resolutions or big life changes should happen until February. We’re a little run down from the kids and celebrating Mackin’s birthday but we’ll survive. We’ve also been really busy between 6 different sports, doctor’s appointments, and just getting our lives together after the holidays and CES.

That said, there is no shortage of topics in this extra-long, audio-only episode. From walking you through the process of purchasing lingerie via Target pickup to a new game show concept for people with anxiety and no kids, and of course the child of the week rankings. 

If you haven't subscribed to Real. Late. Relatable. yet, first of all, what are you waiting for? Secondly, you should do so to hear a different side of Maria than you’re probably used to. Plus, her husband, Joey joins us! We love and appreciate you all so much, thank you for listening!

You guys, this episode is so funny! We’re in a great season of life right now and it definitely comes through in this episode.

We talk about everything from Kevin getting neutered, to arguments stemming from sex dreams. The pros and cons of menstrual discs to the pros and cons of circumcisions.

This episode is the epitome of our relationship. We reminisce on what it was like to be a millennial kid, who went days if not weeks on end without water and we talk about personal growth in certain, not all but certain areas of our our lives.

We wrap this episode with an extended version of the Child of the Week Rankings, with the first edition of “Leo’s Birthday Theme Requests” and the list is strong!

If you can’t tell, we have new merch! If your resolutions have already fallen off, give yourself some grace and give yourself the gift of our new "Unathletic Dept." merch!

We hope you enjoyed this episode as much as we did. Also, if you haven’t listened to the Lorien Real. Late. Relatable. episode yet, you definitely should because she is amazing.

We love you all, thank you for listening!
