The Shawn Mackey Show
As we journey through life, we are often shaped by our culture and the society in which we live. We absorb bits and pieces from several differing aspects of what life throws at us.
We use those pieces to build, mold, and shape who we become, from our way of thinking and believing, right down to how we handle life's obstacles as they greet us on a daily basis.
Take a walk with me and discover a different side of Chicago sports talk, the shit that pisses me off, and all the dumbass shit I've done as I've stumbled through this crazy thing called life!
