In this episode, Johnny Mack and Ricky G are back with relatable dad-life hilarity, diving into two major themes: the pain of picking the wrong checkout line and the viral Coldplay kiss cam scandal that cost a CEO his job and marriage.
From RFID tech and self-checkouts to brutally honest takes on surveillance culture and viral justice, this one’s got it all. Plus, Ricky falls in love—with a cooler. You’ll laugh, nod your head, and maybe rethink your next shopping trip.
Highlights include:
• Choosing the wrong checkout line (again)
• The Igloo cooler that stole Ricky's heart
• Magic Bands and the future of shopping
• Coldplay’s viral kiss cam chaos
• Is viral justice fair… or dangerous?
Whether you’re a middle-aged dad or just hate the express lane roulette, this episode hits home.
