Mick Betancourt jumps into The Wayback as we cruise through 1980s Chicago. (Check out his writing on Substack and his work on "Reacher" on Amazon Prime).  We get nostalgic about being a latchkey kid, skitching, snowball fights, neighborhood baseball games, and bottle rocket wars.  Mick also reminisces about some of his early jobs and hustles like boosting baseball cards, delivering newspapers, and caddying.  We also get into the joys of early arcade games and other childhood toys like Voltron and He-Man, and how that all came to screeching halt with the release of the 1980s music video "Nasty Girl".
