If you have a strong-willed child, you know how much energy they require—and if you have other kids too, you've probably wondered what this dynamic is doing to their siblings. Are they getting lost in the shuffle? Will they resent their brother or sister? Will they resent you? Many parents worry that their quieter child is fading into the background while the spicy one commands all the attention. And even though you're doing your best, it's hard to know how to protect all your kids when one requires so much more support. In this week's episode, I talked with Mary Van Geffen, author of the brand new book Parenting A Spicy One: Raising a Strong-Willed Child Without Breaking Their Spirit or Yours. Mary brings both personal experience as a former spicy child herself and professional expertise as a parenting educator, and she teaches us how to navigate sibling relationships in a way that protects everyone—including the child you might not realize needs protecting. In this episode, you'll learn:

In Home Alone, young Kevin McCallister tries to protect himself from two bungling burglars. But could Kevin be held liable for their injuries? Join us for a lighthearted legal look at this holiday classic.

What if Home Alone starred a mouse instead of Kevin McCallister, and what if the Wet Bandits legally owned the house he was murdering them in? These are the questions that only Mouse Hunt is brave enough to ask.When brothers Ernie and Lars Smuntz inherit a dilapidated old mansion from their father, their disappointment turns to excitement when they realise that it is a lost architectural masterpiece that could earn them millions of dollars. Unfortunately for them however, the house is now inhabited by one super intelligent, pitiless rodent who will stop at nothing to make sure these men's skeletons are pulverised, their bodies set on fire and any other pets they acquire are killed. Can Ernie and Lars best this beast and sell the missing LaRue mansion? Is the mouse justified in its roaring rampage of revenge? And is string cheese just one long piece of cheese tied up in a ball?

Kevin McCallister just wanted to make his family disappear. The next morning he woke up and the bossy, critical, and negative group of people were gone. He was all alone, able to do whatever he wanted. Our culture loves this story because it personifies the central belief of the American dream—you can be your own person, set your own agenda, and pursue your own dreams. And, even if a couple robbers show up, you have it in yourself to save yourself and your house. Think about it, our most known document is the Declaration of Independence. But here is the problem, this pursuit doesn’t work and actually leads to loneliness, despair, and hopelessness. The Bible compares us to sheep for a reason. Left to themselves, sheep will get stuck, fall off a cliff, or get eaten by a wolf. Sheep need a shepherd. When Jesus declares His name to be “The Good Shepherd,” He is connecting Himself to multiple Old Testament passages, including Psalm 23 and Micah 5,promising a future Shepherd for God’s people. Not only does the Good Shepherd love, care for, and feed His sheep, but He also gives them a flock where they truly belong. And He gives us a purpose that is way bigger than ourselves. The path to an abundant and fulfilling life is found not in our independence, but in our dependence on the Good Shepherd.

En el episodio 7 de esta temporada hablaremos de la película "SOLO EN CASA" ('Home Alone', 1990). Dirigida por Chris Columbus, esta comedia familiar se convirtió en uno de los grandes fenómenos de finales de los 80 y principios de los 90. La historia de Kevin McCallister, un niño olvidado en casa durante las vacaciones de Navidad que debe defenderse de dos torpes ladrones, mezcló humor físico, ternura y situaciones inolvidables. Con Macaulay Culkin como protagonista y un reparto encabezado por Joe Pesci y Daniel Stern. *Sintonía de entrada: Lucidator de Saggitarius V.

Kevin McCallister vs. Authority: Why Home Alone is a Libertarian Masterpiece Is Home Alone actually a movie about the failure of the state and the triumph of private property rights?

Holiday edition episode

There may not be any computers in Home Alone, but few movie characters embody the old-school hacker ethos like Kevin McCallister does. Resourceful, clever, determined, and creative, Kevin uses all of the tools and talents at his disposal to repel a pair of relentless adversaries. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!Support the show

Kevin McCallister knew what he wanted. He was wrong. We might be too.In Week 2 of More Christmas, Doug explores the deeper longings beneath our Christmas wish lists. Through Scripture, humor, and an unexpected look at Home Alone, this message invites us to ask what we really want not just for Christmas, but for our lives.God doesn't just meet our needs. He satisfies our desires with good things.

Send us a textThis week on Hey You Guys, we dive down the chimney into Violent Night (2022) — the gloriously unhinged Christmas action flick where David Harbour proves he was born to play a battle‑weary, Viking‑blooded Santa Claus. We talk booby traps that would make Home Alone's Kevin McCallister proud (and slightly terrified), a sleigh-load of festive carnage, and why Harbour's grumpy, hammer‑swinging Saint Nick is the gift that keeps on giving.We also get into the film's weaker links: John Leguizamo and his band of baddies, who never quite match the energy of their mythic opponent, and the terminally irritating wealthy family Santa is forced to save — a group so unlikeable you almost start rooting for the villains.It's messy, it's merry, it's miraculously fun. Grab your milk, cookies, and improvised weapons; this is one Christmas episode you won't forget.

On this episode we break down the new Epstein files dump and why Bill Clinton comes out looking the worst, from nearly naked hot-tub photos with an unidentified woman to vacation shots with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in the UK, Brunei, Thailand, Morocco and beyond, plus cozy dinners with Mick Jagger and even Michael Jackson while the DOJ hides behind heavy redactions and an incomplete “document dump” that's already being called a violation of the Epstein Transparency Act. We talk about Clinton's team insisting this isn't about him, the aide calling it “his reckoning,” the light touch on Trump in the files, and what this all says about who gets protected. Then we dive into the brutal Nick Reiner case: his schizophrenia diagnosis, new meds that allegedly left him “out of his head,” the explosive fight with Rob Reiner at Conan O'Brien's holiday party where guests wanted to call 911 and Conan shut it down, Rob telling friends he was “petrified” of his own son, and how Nick ends up charged with murdering both parents while preparing a not-guilty plea. From there we hit a slate of stories including the disturbing details around “Pulp Fiction” actor Peter Greene's bloody apartment death, the viral breakdown of how Kevin McCallister's legendary $19.83 “Home Alone” grocery run would cost around $70 in 2025, the ugly MAGA media civil war with Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro and Nick Fuentes tearing into each other, the internet dragging people for wearing fur-hood parkas wrong, and Pantone's new “Cloud Dancer” Color of the Year that somehow manages to make the whole world sad beige.#BillClinton#EpsteinFiles#NickReinerGet more AoA and become a member to get exclusive access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOfx0OFE-uMTmJXGPpP7elQ/joinGet Erin C's book here: https://amzn.to/3ITDoO7Get Merch here - https://bit.ly/AnthonyMerchSubscribe to the Anthony On Air Podcast here:Facebook - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirFBYouTube - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirYTApple Podcast - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirAppleSpotify - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirSpotTwitter - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirTwitterInstagram - https://bit.ly/AntOnAirInstaTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@anthonyonairpodDiscord - https://discord.gg/78V469aV22Get more at https://www.AnthonyOnAir.com.

Send us a textHappy Holidays and welcome back to Please Don't Spoil The Movie!In this episode, we're spoiling the 1992 sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Kevin McCallister is back at it again with his usual shenanigans but this time he's taking them to the Big Apple. From conning his way into the Plaza Hotel to running into his old archenemies, the Sticky Bandits, Kevin once again has to save Christmas. Tune in to hear us also get into Wicked: For Good, Frankenstein and holiday family drama.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITCoffee in hand, we start with a quick Friday pulse check and a question many government workers and contractors are asking: will Christmas Eve and the day after be official days off, and what does that mean if you're not a direct federal employee? That everyday uncertainty sets a grounded tone as we move into tougher terrain: a newly appointed city official stepping down after antisemitic posts resurface, and what real accountability looks like when social media receipts don't disappear.From there, we pivot to a bit of cultural nostalgia with real-world bite: re-pricing Kevin McCallister's famous $19.83 grocery run from Home Alone using current Chicago-area numbers. The updated total—hovering in the mid-$50s with a coupon—offers a tangible snapshot of inflation, shrinkflation, and the trade-offs families make at the register. It's a moment that turns a movie gag into a practical conversation about everyday costs, brand swaps, and the budget math we all do in our heads before checkout.We close by bringing the focus back to community and choice. After headlines and price tags, what can we control? We ask about seasonal volunteering—small acts, local drives, and ways to show up that don't require perfect schedules or deep pockets. That simple prompt threads the episode together: public trust, household budgets, and the meaning we create when we put our time where our values are.If this resonated, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves Home Alone trivia and real talk about costs, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

Hello, hello. Here we go again.It's day five of our Pods of Christmas, and we discuss the first sequel of the year - the follow up to the hijinks of Kevin McCallister, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.Despite a cameo by one of shittest blokes in history, this is a serviceable sequel, whilst also just being pretty much the same film as the first.Stay tuned for the next one.

Send us a textA John Hughes/Chris Columbus joint, Home Alone is the heartwarming tale of an upper-middle-class family who go to Paris and accidentally leave their youngest child behind like an extra carry-on they didn't feel like paying for. Eight-year-old Kevin McCallister—played by a pint-sized, eyebrow-acting Macaulay Culkin—responds to this minor hiccup by eating junk food, watching gangster movies, and turning his house into a suburban Saw trap for two burglars whose crime is mostly being too stupid to quit. Those burglars are Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, delivering what may be cinema's most sustained assault on human skulls outside of a cartoon.In a way, Home Alone is basically It's a Wonderful Life if George Bailey wished everyone away and immediately started committing war crimes against local criminals. While Catherine O'Hara panics her way across continents and John Heard quietly realizes he's a terrible father, Kevin learns that family matters… but also that you can permanently disable two grown men with household items. It's Christmas magic, but with more concussions and far fewer angels getting their wings.

A $3M widow, a $50K income gap, and a plan that finally made sense—this is what real retirement clarity sounds like. Kevin McCallister’s Plaza Hotel spree is a fun throwback—until you compare what it would cost today and realize how fast prices (and big life goals) have changed. From NYC “experience” trips to an Investopedia breakdown suggesting millions are needed to fund the modern American dream, the conversation turns to the real issue: most people nearing retirement don’t actually know what they can afford to risk. Greg and Kristen unpack why “water cooler” investing advice—especially among high earners—can be misleading when nobody knows each other’s full financial picture, timeline, or true retirement needs. Then they share a powerful client story: a widowed woman with roughly $3 million saved who needed $50,000 a year on top of Social Security and a pension—and finally got a plan aligned with her comfort level (including protected income, protected growth, and long-term growth). The result? Confidence—and tears of relief.

Iniziamo la strada verso questo Natale, che spero sarà bellissimo per ognuno di voi, con un vero e proprio cult. Una pellicola scritta da quel genio che è stato John Hugher e diretta da quell'altro genio di Chris Columbus. Mamma ho perso l'aereo è diventato un vero e proprio classico natalizio ed oltre a lanciare nel firmamento hollywoodiano Macaulay Culkin, ha settato un sottogenere sempre gradito al pubblico.Impossibile non divertirsi con le fantasiose trappole che il piccolo Kevin McCallister architetta per tenere alla larga i maldestri ladri Harry (Joe Pesci) e Marv (Daniel Stern) dalla sua casa. Una storia che fa ridere e commuovere, con la colonna sonora di John Williams divenuta subito iconica.Un film che è stato riproposto recentemente in sala per il 35° anniversario e che conta un folto gruppo di appassionati. Sicuramente, il film di Natale per tantissimi.

Plus, they wonder if Kevin had any friends, and how hilarious it is to see his transformation in only a matter of days with his family gone.

Have you ever felt completely alone, even in a crowded room? Through the lens of "Home Alone," Pastor Dave explores how isolation affects us all—from Kevin McCallister's cry for family to King David's desperate psalms. When we're hurting, we often retreat and put up false fronts, like Kevin's elaborate mannequin scheme, rather than embracing authentic connection. But just as Kevin discovered in that powerful church scene with Mr. Marley, healing begins when we turn on the light and face our fears. God stands ready, knocking at the door of our hearts, offering relationship and restoration. This inspiring message reminds us that no matter how far we've wandered, we're just one step away from coming home to God's transformative presence. Watch now to discover how to move from isolation to restoration!Psalm 142:3-4 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Then you knew my path. In the way in which I walk They have secretly set a snare for me. 4 Look on my right hand and see, For there is no one who acknowledges me; Refuge has failed me; No one cares for my soul.1 Kings 19:4 (message) He came to a lone broom bush and collapsed in its shade, wanting in the worst way to be done with it all—to just die: “Enough of this, God! Take my life—I'm ready to join my ancestors in the grave!” Exhausted, he fell asleep under the lone broom bush.John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

When we're hurting, we often retreat and put up false fronts, like Kevin's elaborate mannequin scheme, rather than embracing authentic connection. But just as Kevin discovered in that powerful church scene with Mr. Marley, healing begins when we turn on the light and face our fears. God stands ready, knocking at the door of our hearts, offering relationship and restoration. This inspiring message reminds us that no matter how far we've wandered, we're just one step away from coming home to God's transformative presence. Watch now to discover how to move from isolation to restoration!Psalm 142:3-4 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Then you knew my path. In the way in which I walk They have secretly set a snare for me. 4 Look on my right hand and see, For there is no one who acknowledges me; Refuge has failed me; No one cares for my soul.1 Kings 19:4 (message) He came to a lone broom bush and collapsed in its shade, wanting in the worst way to be done with it all—to just die: “Enough of this, God! Take my life—I'm ready to join my ancestors in the grave!” Exhausted, he fell asleep under the lone broom bush.John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Hide your dogs and work on your grip strength as we drop into 1993's The Good Son. How does a parent overlook a whole murder shed? Why were Hallmark-level thrillers being released on the big screen in the 90s? Is this movie the most forceful argument for everyone needing to go to therapy—but with, like, a capable therapist? And are Elijah Wood and Macaulay Culkin the ultimate latchkey kids? If you survive dangling off this precarious cliff, we'll tell you everything you need to know. 

Tuesday is here and the weather is going to be beautiful! 62° and mostly sunny today. Took down most of the Halloween decorations yesterday. Got a few more left today and then getting the Christmas stuff on the house. On the show today, we let you know what's on TV today/tonight and what's new on New Release Tuesday and we talked to Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show just after 8am. Week 9 of the NFL regular season finished up last night with the Cowboys losing to the Cardinals, so we took a look at our Pigskin Picks…and it's not getting any better for Jean. We talked about tonight's Mega Millions drawing, the AC/DC show at Camp Randall Stadium that got announced yesterday, and an update on 3i/Atlas!!! In sports, the Bucks got a nice win over Indy last night, the Badgers men's basketball team kicked off it's regular season with a victory, Tucker Kraft is officially OUT for the rest of the season, and Cam Little got "randomly" drug tested by the NFL after his historic 68-yard field goal on Sunday! Yesterday, People magazine announced it's "Sexiest Man Alive" on Jimmy Fallon's show, and Macaulay Culkin recently reprised his role as Kevin McCallister from "Home Alone" in an ad for Home Instead. Plus, is "Wheel of Fortune" getting too raunchy? Great story about a couple of farm workers in California who helped save a bunch of kids from a burning bus, and another story from California where three brothers found a mint Superman comic #1 in their mother's attic after she passed away. A recent poll found that the average parent has to answer 46 questions a day from their child. YIKES! Even though Thanksgiving is still weeks away, we had a couple of turkey-day related stories this morning, including a new Thanksgiving-flavored Oreo collection, and Amazon's $25 Thanksgiving meal. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woman who lied about finding a needle in her child's Halloween candy and is now facing charges, a woman in Pennsylvania who tried to light a crack pipe while in a hospital bed and suffered severe burns, a man in Virginia who went shopping at Walmart without any clothes on, and a hockey coach who got fired after he wore a Nazi costume to a Halloween party.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Birthday to Oscar and Golden Globe winner Kieran Culkin who turned 43 yesterday and is the younger brother to the actor that played Kevin McCallister in Home Alone. Who is he?

In the late 2000's torture horror movies had become the fad. SAW and Hostel led the way and everyone else tried to imitate and ride their success. The Collector is one of these films but for some reason has stood the test of time and is still loved and held in super high regard. The plot follows a thief called Arkin as he attempts to rob his employers. Unfortunately for him he chose the night the serial killer in a gimp mask decided to kill the family too...What follows is a cat and mouse game full of traps that would make Kevin McCallister jealous! In this episode we share out thoughts on The Collector, discuss some production facts and dissect what we think didn't make a whole lot of sense. We also check our very full voicemail and mock Marc for a recent accident that made us record this episode super late. Please don't forget to support us by leaving a review and get involved in the show. From our interactive quiz where you win prizes through to various features... Don't juts listen be a part of it!

It's all happening! We bring back a special guest as we cover this award-winning film this week! Can you imagine anyone else playing these parts? How awesome would it be to become a rock star? Did Vic pull a Kevin McCallister to stay at the Plaza? You won't want to miss this!

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Mike back on the show as we discuss the 1985 dark comdey After Hours.  In this Marin Scorsese directed love story to the seedier side of New York, an American Werewolf is just trying to get home after a terrible date, but just can't seem to pay his way back.  Apparently in 1985, it was ok to leave the house in NYC with $20 and expect round trip service (and pay for a date too).  This cast is deep, with a lot of up and comers (including Kevin McCallister's parents) and E&N fav Teri Garr.  Scorsese aways mixes laughs into even his hardest dramas, but it's nice to see a straight up comedy from one of the all time greats.  We all had a great time discussing this all-time classic.  Enjoy the podcast!

This week, we're bringing you laughs with our holiday special! From debating whether eggnog is a scam, to Kevin McCallister's secret identity. We ask the hard hitting holiday questions like, is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Was the teacher from A Christmas Story a freak? And whats your favorite Christmas tradition?

It's PART 3 of a four-part Christmas series, Pastor Adam Martin and host Joey Svendsen talk about the 1990s Christmas Movie that took American culture by storm, Home Alone.  Given the main character, Kevin McCallister, (played by Macaulay Culkin), was left home alone during the holidays, in this discussion Adam delves into why social isolation is so common in the real world, more and more people finding themselves alone even during the holidays.  Adam has a doctorates in counseling and Joey takes advantage of this time with him to probe into various mental health issues.  It turns out that people can be hurt so badly by others, many are willing to even forfeit closeness with anyone ever again, in order to keep from feeling that sort of hurt again. At the top of the episode, the host crew discuss "silly violence" in movies like Home Alone and in cartoons like Tom & Jerry, contrasting them with disturbing violence in video games like Grand Theft Auto.
