Picture this: you're navigating the lively streets of Rome, reflecting on the friendships, quirks, and unexpected encounters that have colored our travels and conversations over the years. From memorable moments abroad to the stories that marked our earliest episodes, we trace the path that brought us to our podcast's 10-year milestone and the approach of our 400th show. It's a whirlwind of anecdotes, insights, and nostalgia for how it all began. Amid the laughter, we turn to the heart of Italian American life with co-hosts John Viola, Patrick O'Boyle, and Dolores Alfieri Taranto. Our unscripted conversations span family traditions, the quest for the perfect rum cake, and the small but meaningful rituals that keep cultural identity alive. From humorous community stories to reflections on media portrayals, we explore how Italian American heritage continues to evolve while staying rooted in what matters most. Whether you love the bustle of dinner dances or prefer quiet nights at home, there's something here for every listener charting their own path through a changing cultural landscape. From unexpected anniversary interruptions to the deep gratitude we feel for the bonds forged along the way, this episode becomes a celebration of resilience, humor, and shared experience. We revisit family dynamics, societal observations, and a fair share of comedic mishaps, marveling at the journey that carried us to this moment. As we toast to a decade of podcasting, we offer heartfelt thanks to our listeners and the vibrant community that continues to grow with us—proof that the adventure is far from over.   HOSTS: John M.

The only way you can pump 'em is by using a wood wick candle!

The holidays are here, and there's no better way to kick off the season than revisiting one of the greatest Christmas movies ever made — Home Alone. But this time, we're not just watching Kevin defend his house with paint cans, micro machines, and blowtorches. We're diving deep into what this classic can teach us about Emotional Intelligence, resilience, family dynamics, and how to navigate chaos with clarity.In today's 20-minute episode, The Shadows Podcast breaks down why Home Alone still hits home emotionally more than 30 years after its release. Beneath the comedy and iconic booby traps is a powerful story about courage, belonging, fear, forgiveness, and the emotional messiness that comes with being part of a family — even a wildly dysfunctional one.We open by stepping back into 1990, a year of cultural shifts, global tension, and cinematic magic. Home Alone premiered on November 16, 1990, and instantly became a box office juggernaut — holding the #1 spot for weeks and becoming the highest-grossing live-action comedy for nearly two decades. Today, it's more than nostalgia. It's a reminder that sometimes life throws chaos at us… and we still have the power to choose our response.Then we look at the McCallister family with a humorous EQ lens:✨ A full house of stress, ego, impatience, bad communication, questionable parenting choices (they forgot this kid twice), and a brother who downs Pepsi, wets the bed, and everyone just… accepts it.✨ A kid desperate to feel seen.✨ An old man judged entirely on rumor.✨ And two burglars who are somehow both terrifying and hilariously bad at their jobs.But hidden in all that dysfunction are lessons we can use in our daily lives.Each week on The Shadows Podcast, we give you practical tools — “cheat codes” — that you can actually use in real life. Today's episode breaks Home Alone into three actionable, easy-to-apply Emotional Intelligence lessons:Kevin didn't choose the chaos — but he chose the response.Life hits us with our own versions of paint cans, icy stairs, and unexpected blowtorches. This section explores how creativity, composure, and emotional regulation help us turn overwhelm into problem-solving power.Kevin was terrified of Old Man Marley because of the story he told himself. When they finally talk, Kevin realizes Marley isn't a monster — he's a human dealing with regret and loneliness. We explore how changing your perspective can change your relationships.Kevin goes from “I'm scared” to “This is my house, and I have to defend it.” This is a mindset shift we all need. Whether you're facing holiday stress, work conflict, or personal goals, confidence and self-trust are the foundation.Because this 20-minute episode gives you:• A nostalgic escape• A psychological breakdown of holiday stress• Tangible EQ skills you can apply immediately• A new way to watch a beloved Christmas classic• Humor, heart, and real-life emotional insightsWhether you're traveling, wrapping gifts, hiding from your relatives, or recovering from a burnt turkey, this episode will help you laugh, reflect, and navigate the season with more clarity and intention.

Remember the Borg? Remember how absolutely terrifying they were? They kidnapped our beloved Jean-Luc and wiped out a huge chunk of Starfleet just a season or so back! But what if I told you these malevolent murder machines were just a pack of misunderstood kids? No, seriously! They may want to assimilate you and absorb everything distinctive and special about you, but that's what all the robots are doing these days, right Alexa? Meet 3 of 5, a Borg drone the Enterprise crew discover in a crash site. While Picard says ditch the bitch, Bev has other ideas and brings 3 aboard. Before you know it, she and Geordi are building bridges and tearing down fences getting to know the little guy. Soon they're calling him “Hugh” and trying to help him learn and grow. That's all nice and lovely except the Captain wants to arm Hugh with a deadly virus and send him back to the collective as a Doom's Day weapon. Picard and Guinan are bent on the complete destruction of the Borg, but will their plans be spoiled by a bad case of the Feelings? Will Picard learn to love the alien? Will Bev and Geordi let love rule? Will someone reprogram Hugh into a Roomba drone to keep the wall carpeting clean?

Send us a textWelcome to Episode 239!  The Boys met up at Studio AA before heading out for the Thanksgiving Holiday to give us a treat.  It's a once a year type of The news has been moving rapid fire these days with headlines galore.  Some just begging to be painted by your GBFFS.  It's that time of year kids -- The Boys have been watching the news cycles and getting tea on some of the most prescient and important news stories and this is the impetus for the at least once a year episode, Super Trash.  And when it's been better than super, that's mega. (and no, not MAGA... not on this podcast)  This week is time for Another Mega Trash!  That's right!  The popular and oft listened to episodes find their way into listeners, callers, readers, viewers, even some of the writers favorites of each season.  Kicking off this week's episode, Casey & Mark are discussing who is made what for their Thanksgiving feasts and how they prepared for their tastes.  Then a quick convo between The Boys about getting in touch with Santie for the Christmas List fulfillment.  Closing out the Weekly Trash Pick-Up, your GBFFs are discussing seeing movies you don't really want to and how to ruin the film for everyone when you don't like it.Trash Talk topics this week kick off with some new or further troubles for some of The Real Housewives.  There's an update about Wendy and Eddie Osefo from RHO Potomac, who now find themselves in deeper legal trouble -- how so?? Well you'll have to listen to see just how.  Then Dorit and Sutton of RHOBH are burgled at their homes as they take the stages of BravoCon in NYC and Mia Thornton from RHO Potomac finds herself in cuffs at the Atlanta airport. Next, Erika Jayne's finds herself in familiar territory when her new beau finds himself in scalding hot water. Also, have you heard of sologomy? Mark's educating on this new sort of relationship.  Then, universally seen symbols of hatred are no longer seen as hate symbols by the US Coast Guard -- but there's no human rights under attack in the United States.  Then -- this years hottest gift outta China is an AI/ ChatGPT teddy bear which now is under fire for horribly inappropriate statements they make.  A woman is violently attacked after she paid someone over $500 to do just that -- attack her--- so she could claim political violence.  Phew!Like we said -- it's an episode full of Super Trash!  The Boys are bringing the hilarity and discourse this week.  The topics are sprawling, the tea is piping hot, and the recommendations (oh, yes -- there's recommendations for you too!) are legit.  This one's a super goodie.  So pour yourself the port vintage you saved for yourself after the holiday, maybe even have ya a slice of pumpkin pie with it and have a seat at the table with your GBFFs who are bringing the hilarity, the discourse, all filled with f@gg*try!  Get ready!  It's time to paint!=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Let The Boys of Painted Trash know your thoughts on this week's topics and episode!

You Don't Earn Being a Good Man: Reclaiming the Identity You Were Born With Authentic Men's Group (AMG) Podcast Blog Every man wonders quietly, "Am I actually a good man?" Most men won't say it out loud—but the question sits underneath their decisions, their relationships, their mistakes, and the way they carry themselves through life. For many, goodness feels fragile… like one wrong move can erase everything. Like your identity is something you perform into rather than something true about you. Most of us grew up earning approval, not building identity. This episode is about reclaiming the deeper truth already in you. It's about remembering something you were born with—not something you have to earn, prove, or achieve. The Good Man Statue: The Identity Beneath the Dirt Every man carries a statue inside him—the Good Man Statue. It's who he was long before he learned to toughen up, hide emotions, pretend he didn't need help, or perform to be accepted. It's the part of him that's strong, grounded, steady, and whole. It's the part that wants to love well, lead well, and live with integrity. But life has a way of throwing dirt on that statue. A mistake at 17 A failure at 25 A moment in marriage where you hurt someone you love Childhood messages that taught you you're only good when you behave Shame that stuck before you even understood the word Little by little, the statue gets covered. And at some point, you stop seeing it at all. You start believing the dirt is you. You start thinking, "Maybe I'm just not a good man." That's the lie almost every man in AMG has carried at some point. But here's the truth most men never hear: The dirt never replaces the statue—it only hides it. Your goodness doesn't disappear when you mess up. It doesn't get revoked when you fall short. It doesn't crumble when someone is disappointed in you. The Good Man Statue is still there, carved into the core of who you are. When a man believes he's broken or bad, he behaves like a man trying to outrun shame. When he remembers the statue underneath, he moves with presence and strength again. The work isn't becoming good. The work is brushing off the dirt. Every honest conversation… Every moment of accountability… Every time you say the hard thing out loud… Every moment another man says, "You're not alone"… Every time you offer yourself compassion instead of punishment… It clears a little more dirt. That's why AMG exists. Identity gets restored in circles—not isolation. And once a man sees the statue again, even for a moment, he shows up differently: For himself. For his partner. For his kids. For his community. He leads from identity—not insecurity. This is the identity work every man is hungry for: "I don't earn goodness. I remember it." SECTION 1 — What "Being a Good Man" Brings Up for Most Men For many men, the phrase "being a good man" triggers: Pressure — like being graded or silently measured Fear of messing up and losing your identity Feeling good only when you're achieving or productive Old messages: "Don't disappoint anyone" Shame that rewrites your story in seconds Humor that's not really humor: "If being a good man was a class, I'd be repeating it." Memories of trying to perform your way into worthiness Most men have learned to tie goodness to behavior—not identity. Which is why the Good Man Statue metaphor hits so deeply. SECTION 2 — Why Men Don't Believe They're Good Men Most men don't struggle with behavior as much as they struggle with identity. Here's why: 1. Childhood Scripts Be good. Be strong. Don't mess up. Approval was tied to obedience, not authenticity. Goodness felt conditional from day one. 2. Shame From Old Mistakes Men carry mistakes like permanent labels. Shame doesn't stick to behavior—it sticks to identity. 3. Performance-Based Worth Men are taught: "I am what I produce." Which means when performance drops, identity collapses. 4. Lack of Affirmation Most men have never heard: "You're solid. I see the good in you." Without strong mirrors, insecurity grows. 5. Comparison & Internal Criticism "You're behind." "You should be further along by now." Comparison erodes identity faster than failure. 6. Isolation Men rarely have spaces to be honest. Silence becomes the loudest critic. In every AMG group, men eventually say the same thing: "I thought I was the only one who felt this." Insight Men often lose identity faster than they lose self-control. Most issues aren't about discipline—they're about worth. Who Gets to Decide If You're a Good Man? This question sits at the center of most men's inner battles: "Who gets to decide if I'm a good man?" Most men assume the verdict belongs to: Their partner Their dad Their boss Their pastor Their ex Their mistakes Their success or failure When others hold the measuring stick, identity becomes unstable. You live reactive, defensive, and afraid of being "found out." **Here's the truth: No one else gets to declare whether you are a good man.** Others can reflect your goodness— But they can't define it. If your identity depends on external approval, it becomes rented, not rooted. And rented identity collapses the moment someone is disappointed in you. Grounded men don't outsource their identity. Healthy identity sounds like this: I listen to feedback. I take responsibility when I cause harm. I repair where needed. But I don't hand someone else the authority to define who I am. There's a difference between: Accountability: "I can own where I messed up." Identity: "My mistake is who I am." Other people's disappointment is not the authority on your goodness. Your goodness is already built into the Good Man Statue—solid and unshakeable. When a man reclaims his identity: Defensiveness softens Presence increases Integrity strengthens Courage grows Relationships feel safer Leadership becomes more grounded He stops trying to prove goodness and starts embodying it. The Final Truth: You Decide You decide if you are a good man. Not by earning it. But by returning to what's already true. Goodness isn't a vote. It's not a scoreboard. It's not something that can be taken away. Goodness is a state of being — a statue you were born with. Your work is simply to uncover what's already there. And that's the work we do, together, in AMG.

Zach sits down with Karen Whitehouse and Helen McLaughlin, the married duo behind the cult-hit podcast Who Shat on the Floor at My Wedding? https://www.whoshatontheflooratmywedding.com/ What began as a deeply confusing—and slightly sinister—incident on their wedding boat (“the matrimonial turd,” as Karen lovingly calls it) became a three-year dinner-party story that neither of them could stop telling. Their friends couldn't stop talking about it either. Eventually, with Helen's wholehearted encouragement (and financial backing), the couple turned their whodunnit into a comedy podcast—one that later went viral, beat Joe Rogan for a week, and now brings joy to listeners around the world. Karen and Helen share how the project grew from a joke into a mission: spreading joy, escapism, and silliness during some of the hardest seasons of their lives. They talk candidly about infertility, grief, bad therapy, moving from Amsterdam to a tiny English village, and the emotional evolution that shifted them from distraction to genuine self-work. Their chemistry is undeniable: they tease each other, interrupt each other, apologize quickly, and know exactly how to hold space when things get tough. Together, they explore how detective work mirrors relationship work—don't make assumptions, stay curious, pause your biases—and how “learning each other's love languages” helped them survive both big heartbreak and small bickers. It's a conversation full of heart, humor, British slang, and surprisingly profound insights about partnership. Key Takeaways Comedy and curiosity can transmute pain – Turning their wedding mystery into a podcast helped them process, connect, and bring comfort to listeners going through dark times. Don't make assumptions – Their detective work taught them that bias blinds you… in crime-solving and in conflict with your partner. Joy is a choice – Both see “spreading joy” as part of their life purpose, especially after Helen's grief and Karen's infertility journey. Learn each other's triggers – Helen's fear of abandonment and Karen's need for praise once clashed; learning their love languages changed everything. Apology is a superpower – A small bicker resolved quickly after Karen simply said: “I have to apologize.” Big life transitions shift emotional bandwidth – Moving from Amsterdam's buzz to the English countryside forced them to slow down and actually feel their feelings. Avoid two bottles of white wine – Their worst arguments were fueled by it. (“Anything else is fine!”) Support > solutions – During IVF heartbreak, grief, and major transitions, what mattered most was showing up for each other with compassion. Guest Info Karen Whitehouse & Helen McLaughlin Karen and Helen are the creators and voices behind the global hit podcast Who Shat on the Floor at My Wedding?, a comedic documentary series investigating a very real crime from their own wedding day. Season 3 continues their legacy of solving listener-submitted “comedy crimes” with their signature unqualified-detective charm. They live in the English countryside, where Helen works in cybersecurity and studies forex trading for fun (yes—really), and Karen is on the cusp of becoming a full-time comedy-podcast producer. Their shared mission: spread joy, silliness, and a lot of laughter Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
