Mac & Mike on Sexual Harassment
If you listen to news stories about sexual harassment and compare them to what we see in our culture it appears to be sending mixed messages. Hollywood and the music industry come to mind. The same groups that promote sexuality are often the same groups involved in...

Mac and Mike on Relationships
Relationships are difficult, to say the least. Mike has been married 3 times and Mac only once. All our relationships have ended at some point. What can you do to keep yours together? Well, the answers are not always clear. Mike jokes he cannot tell you how to make a...
