Makin' it with the Mackins

Danielle’s been figuring out herself while getting pumped full of iron. We’ve had a lot going on with Girls Nights, parties, party planning, Halloween parties, just a lot of party shit. The kids were sick, but not that sick…THANK GOD! Danielle makes me extremely uncomfortable, you’ll find out why. We finish up the episode with Mackin’s Child of the Week rankings. Thank you for listening! www.makin...

Well, Danielle officially has PCOS which has been a real pain in the ass. We complain most of the podcast but throughout it provide some updates on Dom’s school situation, celebrating more birthdays and we answer some of your questions. We do one extra lap and rank our children. Thank you to everyone who donated to Mary’s gofundme, for buying merch, for your monthly subscriptions and most of all…t...

We lost someone very important to us this week and this episode is dedicated to our Mary. We talk about the mark she has made on our lives and how you can help her family during this incredibly hard time. We look back on the past week’s couple of highs and low lows with Mackin’s pent-up anxiety, Dominic getting in a fight at school, and each of our perspectives on the issue. If you’d like to donat...

We decided to do the podcast tonight because Danielle didn’t want to have sex. We talk about Viv’s birthday party, Mackin missing out on Life is Beautiful and we take a walk down memory lane with Danielle. Mackin finishes this episode (because he wasn’t finishing anything else) with our Child of the Week rankings. And as always guys, thank you for listening. www.makinitwiththemackins.com

This was a power-packed week! We had our friends’ Kaila and Markus’ wedding. It was a big weekend we both were really looking forward and somehow managed to ruin it. But don’t worry, we kissed and made up. Find out why Mackin loves throwing shit away and finding efficiencies. Today was Viv’s 7th birthday and it wasn’t exactly up to her standards. And always…thank you for listening. www.makinitwith...

Again, A LOT has happened and we break it all down for you. Actually, we don’t even have time to talk about everything that has happened but we focus on mooost of the big stuff. Danielle was having rough day and agreed to sit down and do what we all love, bitch! From the twins' birthday party to rankings, this episode will make you laugh. And as always…thank you for listening, subscribing, buying...

In this episode, we had our good friend, Michael Thomas, over for a night with the Mackins. We ended up talking for hours about a million different things ranging from condoms to his experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist. We hope you love it as much as we love him!

A lot has happened over the last couple of weeks it’s been heavy. Not nearly as heavy as carrying kids up to bed when you’re drunk, but pretty fuckin’ heavy. Mackin compares to our initiation of sex to Target Pickup and Danielle just wants him to be more flexible, like her Pilates class. We share a great Maria story and our child of the week rankings are quite lengthy because it’s been a minute. S...

We’re too tired for a long description and if you listen to this episode you’ll l understand why. And rankings. Thank you for listening.

It’s been ONE YEAR since the beginning of Makin it with the Mackins!! The fact that you’ve stuck around our shit show for this long, is absolutely incredible. Thank you to everyone who has listened this long, shared our podcast with friends and family, and for the countless messages and reviews! We love you! Thank you for listening!

This is the final episode of Season 2 and we cover A LOT. Going all the way back to Fathers Day fuckups to splitting up our family on a trip to Buffalo for the birth of Baby Joey! There is a lot to listen to and it’s a little all over the place but we hope you listen till the end and stay tuned for fun stuff we have planned.

In this episode, we dissect why Mackin was so triggered by me describing his upcoming work trip as a “getaway.” The big kids’ extended bedtime routines and the boys being little pains in the ass have really been weighing on us lately so, we’ve been escaping them by getting sucked into TikTok. Which has been good for content but also problematic. Mackin also brings us to speed on this week’s rankin...

⚠️  It’s very fitting that once wasn’t enough for Maria, so she’s back for more! There were some very IMPORTANT things we left out of her first episode, that apparently needed to be cleared up. The first few minutes are educational and then we discuss why she has no friends. We talk about her final month of pregnancy and the tip of mother she’s going to be. Again, she does get a little “expli...

With school being out this week, Danielle has a lot of complaining to do that gets taken out on me. She complains about me working, my feet being too sensitive, talking to Bang girls and things she even makes up in her head. We then go in talk a little about why she feels this way but it’s appropriate, because we’re celebrating Mental Health Awareness month. No child of the week rankings this week...

Danielle spent the last week or so apologizing for all her mistakes. There was a lot fighting and our kids were jerks but it’s okay because we’re better now. We also rank our kids over all the annoying things and the few nice things that they did over the course of…oh, I don’t know, last month or so. Thank you all so much for listening. 

We know it's been a while. A lot has happened and we try to catch you up on everything. We haven't had the time or energy to record lately so, we brought the mics on the road with us and recorded from our hotel room, while celebrating our 10th anniversary. It's been AMAZING and we'll be back later this week to talk about the rest of our getaway and rank our kids. 

We’re excited to be back! Between the kids finally going back to school, the stomach bug that took over our home and our usual banter back and forth - this week feels like therapy for us. We're even exhausted from just talking about it, hence why this description sucks. Also, Mackin ranks the kids and this one was robust.

This was our longest episode ever because this was like, the longest week ever. A lot has happened and we cover it ALL! We dig deep and provide some good (or bad) parenting tips. Listen till the end because you don’t want to miss who comes out on top of Mackin’s rankings. Get your MWM merch before it’s gone! www.makinitwiththemackins.com

It's been a while...again, and this time it shows. This episode was a struggle to get through after we were interrupted multiple times and the good vibes were seriously killed. We talk about Danielle's multiple birthday celebrations that she is apparently owed due to COVID. We debrief a little bit on the shock that was "The Maria Episode." And we wrap it up with long, overdue Child of the Week ran...

⚠️ We finally got my sister Maria on the podcast and she does not disappoint one bit! It does get a little “explicit”… so, do not listen around your kids or in public without headphones! Enjoy! ⚠️ And get don’t forget your march at www.makinitwiththemackins.com

All the weeks are long, these weeks! We barely made it and even this episode was a task for us, which may or may not have ended in a fight. We'll save you from even more bickering and hopefully, you can empathize with us basically complaining throughout the entire episode. Brighter days are ahead with the big kids going back to school part-time and next week will be much more positive and upliftin...

It was a rough week guys, but ya know what? We made it! Danielle has the revelation that she is codependent, even though she defines it as needy. We look back on our Super Bowl experience with our friends, the Sutherlands. We talk about polp (yes, polp) culture with our take on the “Framing Britney” documentary and Mackin does his Child of the Week Rankings. And don’t forget to get your merch befo...

We talk about a few little communication issues we’ve been bickering over. Danielle “loops us in” to her thoughts on Mackin’s “corporate jargon” and how it is a problem for her. We go through Danielle’s search history and her obsession with Disney stars. We close the door on this episode with Mackin’s Child of the Week Rankings, just before he falls asleep on the couch, snoring his dick off! And d...

👌 Okay, guys! We open with Danielle’s bad job, she did on the job. It snowed in Vegas and Dom decided not to wear shoes. I complement Danielle for how well she is handling her Mom being gone and we share our excitement for the kids going back to school. And as always we wrap it up with Mackin’s child of the Week Rankings... Remember you can get your Mackin’ it with the Mackins Merch 👇👇👇👇 www....

Ask and you shall receive. You wanted to hear more from Mackin and that’s what you got. We answer ALL the questions, ranging from Mackin’s upbringing and influences to his love for music. From parenting styles to how de deals with Danielle’s general confusion about life. For his weekly rankings, Mackin compares the kids to different kinds of beer. Cheers!
