Movie of the Year: 2006The Departed (feat Adam Kempenaar!)Inside The Departed Podcast EpisodeWelcome to The Departed podcast episode of Movie of the Year: 2006, where the Taste Buds take on Martin Scorsese's Boston crime epic. Ryan, Mike, and Greg welcome Filmspotting co-host Adam Kempenaar to the panel. Together, they dig into a film about cops, crooks, and the men who raise them. Moreover, the conversation covers fatherhood, gender, and the rough racial politics of Scorsese's South Boston. Additionally, the crew delivers a Career Retrospective on Leonardo DiCaprio, the jittery star at the film's center. Ultimately, the episode asks whether this Best Picture winner still earns its reputation twenty years later.New to the season? Start with our Movie of the Year 2006 intro episode, then catch up on the full 2006 bracket reveal.About the Film: The Departed (2006)The Departed opened in theaters on October 6, 2006. Martin Scorsese directed, and William Monahan wrote the screenplay. Specifically, Monahan adapted the 2002 Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs. The story follows two moles working on opposite sides of the law. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Billy Costigan, an undercover cop inside the Irish mob. Meanwhile, Matt Damon plays Colin Sullivan, a mob plant rising through the Massachusetts State Police. Jack Nicholson rules over both men as crime boss Frank Costello. Notably, the supporting cast includes Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Vera Farmiga, Alec Baldwin, and Ray Winstone.The film became a major critical and commercial hit, earning more than $290 million worldwide. In addition, it won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. Scorsese finally won Best Director after five earlier nominations. Thelma Schoonmaker also took home Best Film Editing. Roger Ebert gave the film four stars in his original RogerEbert.com review. For full cast and crew credits, visit The Departed on IMDb.Guest Panelist: Adam KempenaarAdam Kempenaar co-founded Filmspotting, one of the longest-running film podcasts in the medium. He launched the show in March 2005 with Sam Van Hallgren. Since 2012, he has co-hosted alongside Josh Larsen. Filmspotting has now passed 1,000 episodes and has also aired on WBEZ in Chicago. Furthermore, Kempenaar teaches at the University of Iowa, where his courses cover film criticism, sports and cinema, and podcasting. He is also a longtime member of the Chicago Film Critics Association. Additionally, he consults on marketing and content for the Chicago International Film Festival. For twenty years, he also led marketing and content for the Chicago Blackhawks. In 2025, he and Larsen celebrated two decades of the show with the first Filmspotting Fest in Chicago. Notably, Filmspotting was barely a year old when The Departed opened. That timing gives Adam a rare firsthand view of the 2006 film conversation. Find his reviews, Top 5 lists, and Sacred Cow episodes at filmspotting.net.Father Figures on The Departed PodcastFathers haunt every corner of The Departed. Costello grooms young Colin Sullivan from childhood, handing him groceries and shaping his loyalty. By contrast, Billy Costigan grows up with a dead father and a family split between Southie and the North Shore. Captain Queenan, played by Martin Sheen, becomes the steady parent Billy never had. Consequently, Queenan's death lands as the emotional turning point of the film. Meanwhile, Sullivan chases approval from every authority figure around him, from Costello to Ellerby. The film even closes on an open paternity question surrounding Madolyn's pregnancy.The panel digs into how Monahan's script treats the police and the mob as rival families. In practice, both institutions recruit sons, reward obedience, and punish betrayal. Above all, the Taste Buds and Adam ask which surrogate father does the most damage.Gender and Masculinity in The DepartedThe Departed is a crowded film about men performing toughness. Cops trade insults about each other's mothers, sexuality, and manhood. Costello, meanwhile, treats women as property and punchlines. Against that backdrop, Vera Farmiga's Madolyn stands nearly alone as a major female character. Interestingly, Monahan built her from two separate women in Infernal Affairs, one for each mole. As a result, she becomes the hinge between Billy and Colin.That choice raises real questions for the panel. Is Madolyn a fully realized character, or a device that links the two leads? Additionally, the crew considers how Sullivan's private failures mirror his fractured identity. The conversation also weighs whether Scorsese critiques this macho culture or simply enjoys it.Boston, Race, and Tribalism: The Departed 2006 Podcast DebateScorsese sets his story in South Boston, a neighborhood with a fraught racial history. Costello opens the film with a monologue about the Irish, the Italians, and Black Bostonians. Throughout the film, characters toss slurs as casually as they throw punches. Nevertheless, the panel debates what the film actually says about that bigotry.On one hand, the dialogue captures the tribal loyalties behind decades of city tension, including the 1970s busing crisis. On the other hand, some viewers argue the film treats ethnic insults as local color rather than subject. Furthermore, Costello's crew and the state police both run on in-group loyalty and suspicion of outsiders. Therefore, that tribalism powers the entire mole plot. The Taste Buds and Adam ask whether the film interrogates Boston's prejudices or leans on them for authenticity.Career Retrospective: Leonardo DiCaprioThis episode also features a Career Retrospective on Leonardo DiCaprio. The Departed marked his third collaboration with Scorsese, following Gangs of New York and The Aviator. Notably, 2006 was a banner year for him, and Blood Diamond earned him a Best Actor nomination that season. His early work stretches from This Boy's Life and What's Eating Gilbert Grape to Titanic. Later highlights include Catch Me If You Can, Inception, Django Unchained, and The Wolf of Wall Street.DiCaprio finally won the Best Actor Oscar for The Revenant. Since then, he has worked again with Quentin Tarantino, Scorsese, and Paul Thomas Anderson. In total, he has made six feature films with Scorsese. The panel walks through the full filmography, from child actor to elder statesman. However, you will have to listen to hear how the Taste Buds and Adam rank his work.Why The Departed Still MattersThe Departed endures as the film that finally won Scorsese his Oscar. Moreover, it proved a Hollywood remake of a Hong Kong crime film could stand on its own. Its double-agent structure still echoes through crime thrillers and prestige television. Additionally, its performances remain endlessly quotable, especially Wahlberg's profane Sergeant Dignam. Alongside Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone, it helped define the Boston crime cycle of the 2000s. Ultimately, the film still sparks arguments about Scorsese's best work. Those arguments make it perfect bracket material for Movie of the Year: 2006.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 2006Movie of the Year 2006: Intro Part 1The Movies of 2006 Bracket Reveal2006 Mixtape Part IBrowse every Movie of the Year episodeFAQ: The Departed Podcast and FilmWhat is The Departed podcast episode about?This Movie of the Year: 2006 episode features the Taste Buds and guest Adam Kempenaar discussing Martin Scorsese's The Departed.

At seven years old, Jenna Udenberg was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis. Within a year, she was using a wheelchair and beginning a lifelong education in what happens when a person encounters a world that was not designed with them in mind. In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier talks with Jenna about disability, accessibility, assumptions, identity, and the difference between being accommodated and truly being included. Jenna shares pieces of her journey from growing up on Minnesota's North Shore to becoming a music educator, a 2020 Bush Fellow, an author, and the founder of Above & Beyond With U. Along the way, she challenges the language we use around disability, the assumptions people make about wheelchair users, and the idea that accessibility should stop at the minimum required by law. At the heart of the conversation is a simple philosophy Jenna continues to follow: Do the next right thing.

Today, Two Harbors is known for its lighthouse, ore docks and scenic Lake Superior shoreline. But in the 1880s, part of its waterfront was home to a notoriously wild strip of saloons and brothels known as Whiskey Row.So how did this rough-and-tumble settlement become the North Shore city we know today — and what are the two harbors that give Two Harbors its name? Host Erica Pearson talks with Minnesota Star Tribune reporter Christa Lawler about the early communities of Burlington Bay and Agate Bay, the railroad and iron-ore boom that transformed the area, and the colorful characters who populated its waterfront. They also explore what archaeologists later uncovered beneath Whiskey Row, including liquor jugs, shot glasses, shoes and even preserved peanut shells. It's the hidden history behind one of Minnesota's most familiar North Shore towns.

Jordy and Sterling spent months traveling through South Africa, the Maldives, Australia and beyond filming what was supposed to become Jordy's breakout surf movie. Then his relationship with Billabong fell apart, the hard drives disappeared, Jordy says he spent nearly 10 YEARS trying to track down the footage—and he still hasn't seen it. Then came the $500,000 lawsuit. Jordy talks about being a young rookie, coming from very little money in South Africa and suddenly facing a lawsuit so massive that his parents were considering selling their house and cars. It's an incredible look behind the curtain at the surf industry during one of its biggest eras. We also get into: Jordy Smith vs. Kelly Slater and whether Kelly was ever overscoredThe Jordy Smith vs. Dane Reynolds eraModern Collective and Jordy's insane surfing in 2010Why Jordy turned down Nike 6.0Flying to Nike headquarters on Phil Knight's private planeThe truth behind the Michael Jordan rumorsO'Neill, DVS and huge surf sponsorship dealsGrowing up surfing South Africa and Hawaii's North ShoreJ-Bay and Jordy's rise through professional surfingAndy Irons and the legendary Billabong surf teamMikey February and South African surf cultureWhy the surf industry changedCore surfing vs. mainstream surfingSurf shops, local shapers and the old surf industryJordy's plans after the Championship TourChasing undiscovered waves around the worldThe origin story of “YOU KNOW THE RULES”And why Jordy might be one of the funniest surfers alive. This is one of those episodes where surf history, surf culture and stories from professional surfing collide.

Aulani looks like paradise on Instagram, but the real question is whether Disney's Hawaii resort is worth the long travel days, big price tags, and planning pressure, especially if you're flying from the East Coast. We sit down with our friend Amy fresh off a nine-night stay at Disney's Aulani Resort and Spa on Oahu, and she doesn't sugarcoat the reality: the service is seamless, the setting is stunning, and yes, you might pay four dollars for a banana.We dig into the strategy that made the trip possible, from using Disney Vacation Club points to choosing the right room type, nailing an ocean view request, and pacing arrival day so you actually absorb the magic. Amy shares what she'd prioritize if she only had one day at Aulani, plus the experiences that felt uniquely Hawaii, like the lagoon beach, character sightings that don't take over your schedule, and the outrigger canoe sailing trip you'll want to book early.Then we leave the resort bubble. Amy breaks down why renting a car matters for a first time Oahu itinerary and what was truly worth the drive: surfing lessons on the North Shore, Kualoa Ranch for Jurassic Park and Lost fans, Waikiki and Diamond Head logistics, a sunset catamaran cruise, and a luau choice that delivered huge value and powerful storytelling. We also cover Pearl Harbor planning mistakes to avoid, plus where the food at Aulani hits and misses compared to expectations.If you're building a Hawaii vacation plan around Aulani, subscribe for more trip reports, share this with the friend who's always pricing flights, and leave us a quick rating and review so more Disney travelers can find the show.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

Joey shared an epiphany after visiting the new Kenjo on Northshore. He decided almost anything feels better when it's brand new, whether it's a gas station, hotel, or restaurant. A listener won Tucker Wetmore tickets during a new game called "Tuck Tuck Goose" by calling in after hearing a goose honk on the air. Joey's son asked what a redneck is after hearing Jeff Foxworthy. Joey eventually used Karly's dad as the perfect example, which Nancy agreed was pretty accurate. Hot Tea: A fan was upset after Tim McGraw's team reposted her video without credit, Tiger Woods can still drive a golf cart despite a driving ban, and Pabst Blue Ribbon is offering a reward after two truckloads of beer were stolen. Nancy almost put her foot in her mouth while buying 22 railroad ties. She assumed a store manager was about to question her equipment, but he was actually trying to warn her the ties were in bad shape. Listeners shared things customers do that drive them crazy, including people calling to schedule appointments without checking their calendars, blaming hotels for bad weather, and asking UPS drivers what's inside their packages. Lucky 7 for $50 to Farmacy Joey and Nancy listened to country artists' laughs and tried to guess who the laughs belonged to. The Casa Rodeo contest continued with listeners doing Nancy impressions for tickets. Cole won by simply laughing. One of the most touching moments of the show came when 14-year-old Jameson called to thank his mom, Denise, for everything she's done while she battles serious heart problems. Joey and Nancy prayed for her and the family. The show also talked about the extreme heat, how schools and sports teams are adjusting activities, and the growing effort to rename Nashville International Airport after Dolly Parton.

For the leader who has already done the values exercise, felt clear for a week, and gone straight back to building the thing that drains them. A first-grade teacher told Dr John Demartini's parents their son would never read, never communicate effectively, and never amount to much. He dropped out of school, hitchhiked to California at fourteen, and was surfing Hawaii's North Shore by the time he nearly died at seventeen. He has since taught in over 100 countries and written more than 40 books. At eighteen he asked himself how to master a life, and mapped the answer across seven areas. When he later went looking for a way to measure what people actually value, he found the existing academic models too subjective. They described how a person ought to be. So he built his own set of thirteen criteria, and has since run millions of value determinations. In this conversation, Celinne and Dr John Demartini examine why most people cannot name their own values honestly. How delegation preceded his wealth rather than following it. And what happens when someone finally sees their real hierarchy and it doesn't match the business they already built. You'll hear the six-column exercise that took him from doing everything in his own clinic to doing only four things. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Hear why the work that drains you has nothing to do with volume 03:20 Define what mastering a life actually means across seven areas 09:42 Trace the vision that began with a teacher saying he'd never read 16:17 Learn why what people say they value and what their lives demonstrate rarely match 36:31 Catch the seven words that reveal a borrowed value 39:18 Walk through the six-column exercise that freed him from his own business 45:56 Discover how a values hierarchy decides financial destiny 1:03:48 Unpack emotion as a ratio of perceptions 1:15:59 Find out what makes a business congruent with the person running it KEY IDEAS: ✨ Your life is the honest answer: Dr Demartini stopped asking people to describe their values and started reading the evidence. What fills their space, their time, their money, their attention. Most people describe who they think they ought to be, which is why the exercise never holds. ✨ Delegation is what produced the wealth: He read The Time Trap at twenty-seven while doing everything in his own clinic with one assistant. Eighteen months after listing every daily action and reprioritising by productivity and meaning, he had five doctors, twelve staff, and far more net income doing four things. ✨ The imperatives give you away: "I've got to, I have to, I must, I should, I ought to" are the signature of a value injected by someone else. Language is the fastest available diagnostic for whether a priority is genuinely yours. ✨ A business runs on its people's values: Nobody is dedicated to a business. They are dedicated to what they value most, and using the business as a vehicle. Congruence between the role and the person's hierarchy is what makes engagement possible. RESOURCES: Dr. John Demartini is a world-renowned human behavior expert, educator, researcher, and internationally published author. For nearly five decades, he has studied human potential, values, leadership, relationships, psychology, philosophy, and human performance to understand what drives people to act, grow, and create meaningful change. He is the creator of the Demartini Method, a practical system of questions designed to help people dissolve emotional charges. As well as transform limiting perceptions, clarify their highest values, and make more empowered decisions. As the founder of the Demartini Institute, he has presented his work to audiences around the world and worked with entrepreneurs, executives, organizations, and individuals seeking greater clarity, resilience, purpose, and self-mastery.

Jack Johnson joins Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan on the Pinch My Salt Podcast for a hilarious, wide-ranging conversation about surfing, music, Hawaii, Kelly Slater, Tom Curren, John John Florence, Willie Nelson, Ben Harper, G. Love, Rob Machado, songwriting, touring, fame and the stories behind some of Jack Johnson's biggest songs. Jack Johnson talks about the real story behind “Banana Pancakes,” “Bubble Toes” and “Rodeo Clowns,” his early music career, opening for Ben Harper, growing up surfing in Hawaii, the North Shore surf scene, and how Kelly Slater helped turn “Rodeo Clowns” into the name of a surfing maneuver. Jack also breaks down Kelly Slater vs. Tom Curren, explains why he believes John John Florence may be the best surfer in the world, and talks Nathan Fletcher, Christian Fletcher, Rob Machado, Pipeline, Sunset Beach, big-wave surfing and the surfers who influenced him. Plus, Jack plays music live in the Pinch My Salt studio and tells the incredible story of playing poker with Willie Nelson. This is Jack Johnson like you probably haven't heard him before. Jack gets into the story of meeting Willie Nelson at a benefit concert in Maui, getting invited back to Willie's house to play poker, and the song that came out of the experience. He talks about forgetting lyrics and hitting wrong chords on stage, why those mistakes can actually make live music better, and how he learned to deal with the pressure of performing in front of huge crowds. Jack also opens up about fame, imposter syndrome, mental health, staying grounded in Hawaii, and why too much attention can start to feel unhealthy. He explains how Ben Harper and G. Love inspired him before he ever knew them personally, and what it was like going from being a fan to opening shows for Ben Harper. We also get into the surprising story behind Jack Johnson's Curious George soundtrack, working on the film with Hans Zimmer, and why making music for an animated kids movie felt like such a strange move within surf culture at the time. Then it gets DEEP into surfing. Kelly Slater vs. Tom Curren. John John Florence. Dane Reynolds. Nathan Fletcher. Christian Fletcher. Rob Machado. Pipeline. Sunset. Margaret River. Surf style vs. progression. What makes someone truly “core.” And Jack's perspective as someone who grew up completely immersed in the North Shore surf world before becoming one of the biggest musicians in the world. Jack also talks about his wife Kim, writing love songs, balancing marriage and success, raising a family, touring, his Surf Film Music project, September Sessions, and the work he and Kim do through the Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation and its environmental education programs in Hawaii. And somehow we also try to launch Jack Johnson's new phrases “That's What the Babies Eat” and “Rumpelstiltskin It” into surf culture. This one went places.

Season 9 of The Interior Collective Podcast is brought to you by Materio. Welcome back to The Interior Collective. I'm your host, Anastasia Casey, and today I am sitting down with Claire Staszak, founder and principal of Centered by Design, a full-service residential interior design studio based in Chicago specializing in the design and restoration of historic homes. Claire came from journalism and marketing before she came to interiors, and that background has shaped everything about how she has built her firm, including how she thinks about showhouses. Most designers treat a showhouse as a client opportunity, but Claire treats it as a brand investment with a measurable return. She has done both local and national showhouses and built a team that helps make it all happen. Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Domino, Luxe, and the Chicago Tribune. She has a studio and showroom in East Lakeview, a second design annex on the North Shore, a wallpaper collection with Isidore Leroy, and a debut book slated for Fall 2027. Today we are getting into the real costs of a showhouse, the brand partnerships that make them financially viable, what local versus national showhouses actually produce for a studio, and what every designer should be thinking about before they say yes to the next one.

Episode Summary: In this episode of the Work at Home Rockstar Podcast, Tim Melanson chats with Dr. Rob Yonover, founder and CEO of Sea Rescue Corporation, who has worked from home for over 30 years inventing survival gear for military and civilian use. What started as him "screwing around with a piece of plastic" on his patio became the SeeRescueStreamer, a signaling device he says is now military-approved worldwide and has even flown on SpaceX missions. Rob gets candid about what it actually takes to make working from home sustainable: brutal self-discipline, a simple math equation for building a passion project around a day job, and a thick skin built from years of rejection, including five no's on Shark Tank. He walks through the relentless, old-school media hustle that got his product into outlets like the Miami Herald, Outside Magazine, and Playboy, and explains why he still believes trade shows and face-to-face relationships beat digital marketing for building trust. The conversation also covers how a 15-year licensing deal with guaranteed royalties gave him the cash flow to keep inventing, what's exciting him now with a new pocket desalinator project and his published books, and his strong personal views on keeping kids off phones and social media. Who is Dr. Rob Yonover? Dr. Robert Yonover is a Ph.D. geochemist/volcanologist with a history of innovative scientific contributions and technologies that have been awarded U.S. Military/DARPA funding and U.S. Patents. The military-approved/adopted SeeRescueStreamer has saved lives on land and in water. A North Shore big wave surfer and Molokai Channel rough-water fisherman, Dr. Yonover uses the ocean as his laboratory. He's the founder and CEO of Sea Rescue Corporation and has worked from home in Hawaii for over 30 years, describing himself as a third-generation work-at-home entrepreneur following his grandmother, who ran an early medical practice out of her Chicago home, and his father, who built a mail-order business in the 1960s. The SeeRescueStreamer earned Navy approval and has since been adopted across military branches, including the Canadian Air Force. He's also the author of four books, Hardcore Inventing, Caregiver's Survival Guide, Hardcore Health, and Brainstorm Islands, and is currently working on a pocket desalinator that converts saltwater to freshwater.

On this week's episode, Avery is joined by Luke and Laura Hintermeister to share how their family's passion for renovation, hospitality, and outdoor adventure led them to purchase and transform a vacation rental overlooking Lake Superior. The couple explains how years of researching the North Shore market, finding an overlooked value-add property with incredible views, and completing a major renovation themselves helped turn a dated two-bedroom home into a high-performing short term rental. They discuss why buying in a market you know can create a competitive advantage, the importance of focusing on irreplaceable features like location and views, and how involving their children in the renovation has laid the foundation for a family business. Luke and Laura also offer advice for new investors on overcoming the fear of getting started, continually learning the business, and building long-term wealth through thoughtful investing and hospitality.
