Can You Have a New Year’s That You’ll Actually Stick With? Habits, Resolutions, and Lasting Change

“New Year, New Me” is dead — and in this episode of The All-In Podcast, John Michael, Jose, and Clayton explain why most resolutions collapse before January is even halfway over.

Instead of trying to reinvent yourself overnight, the guys unpack the science (and spirituality) behind small, stackable habits that actually last — and why tiny daily wins beat big flashy goals every time.

They also break down the subtle pressure of social media, the dopamine hit of announcing resolutions too early, and how habit-building becomes easier when it’s tied to routines you already have.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

🎯 Why New Year’s resolutions fail within the first 10–15 days

📉 How announcing goals publicly hurts motivation

🔄 Why small habits stack better than big reinventions

🙏 How to attach habits to routines you already do (like praying the Rosary on the drive to work)

🌙 The impact of consistent sleep, morning routines, and phone boundaries

💡 How to design a New Year that fits you — not the internet


If you’re tired of burnout, hype culture, and false starts, this episode will help you build a New Year that’s actually sustainable — spiritually, mentally, and practically.

Is Christmas over on December 26th?

Why does Christmas feel like it ends as soon as it begins? In this episode of the All-In Podcast, John Michael, Jose, and Clayton dive into why Christmas burnout is real — and why embracing a longer season might be exactly what your soul needs.

From the chaos of holiday expectations to the beauty of Advent, the guys explore how modern culture rushes past Christmas while the liturgical calendar calls us to slow down, savor joy, and actually celebrate longer than one frantic morning.

In This Episode You’ll Hear:

🎬 Our Mount Rushmore of Christmas movies (and the Die Hard + Harry Potter debates)

🕯️ How Advent prepares us differently than secular holiday hype

🌞 Why St. John the Baptist’s feast day falls on the summer solstice — and what it reveals

🎉 Why Christmas is an octave (8-day feast!) and why the celebration shouldn’t stop on the 25th

👑 The cultural and spiritual meaning behind Epiphany and Three Kings Day

🌲 Why keeping your decorations up longer is good for your mind, your home, and your faith


If you’ve ever felt overstimulated during the holidays — or wished Christmas didn’t disappear overnight — this conversation will help you rediscover the warmth of the season.

The Unwritten Rules of Pickup Basketball

What are the real rules of pickup basketball? In this hilarious episode of All-In, Clayton, John Michael, and Jose break down the unwritten laws every guy follows on the blacktop — from calling your own fouls to why “ones and twos” is the only acceptable scoring format.

The guys roast the most iconic pickup archetypes (yes, including “AirPods Guy” and the backwards hat dude who thinks he's Kyrie), share outrageous blacktop stories, and deliver the definitive list of what actually counts as good basketball etiquette.

In This Episode You’ll Hear:

  • 🏀 The official rules of pickup basketball (and the fouls you should NEVER call)

  • 🎧 The most accurate player stereotypes — AirPods Guy, Backwards Hat Guy, and “Mr. 401k”

  • 😂 Wild pickup stories: unbeatable streaks, chest-shaving incidents, and men taking rec ball way too seriously

  • 💪 Why pickup basketball brings out real competitiveness, discipline, and masculinity

  • 🔥 The biggest etiquette debates: ones vs. twos, checking up, calling travels, and more

If you’ve ever hooped at a park, gym, or church league, you’ll laugh your head off — and definitely recognize these people.

Doubt Doesn’t Kill Faith — It Builds It

Is doubt a threat to faith — or the doorway into it? In this episode of All-In, Jose, Clayton, and John Michael unpack why the moments when faith feels weakest may actually be the moments God is doing His strongest work.

From the hidden spiritual struggles of Mother Teresa to the difference between Thomas’s honest questioning and Judas’s despair, the guys explore how men can confront uncertainty instead of running from it — and why taking action in seasons of doubt is often the one thing that leads to deeper, unshakeable belief.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • 🔍 Why doubt and faith aren’t opposites — they form a cycle that can strengthen conviction

  • 🙏 The surprising truth about Mother Teresa’s decades-long battle with doubt

  • ⚔️ The difference between doubt (Thomas) and denial (Judas)

  • 🧭 What to do when your feelings and intellect don't match your beliefs

  • 🚶‍♂️ Why spiritual growth happens when you take action before you feel confident

If you’re wrestling with questions, feeling spiritually stuck, or wondering how to move forward when belief feels hard — this conversation will give you clarity, hope, and practical steps toward deeper faith.

The Secret of Competition: The REAL Winners & Losers

In this episode of All In, Clayton, Jose, and John Michael try to answer the question: "Is competition truly at the heart of masculinity, and how do you handle yourself when victory is secured or defeat is inevitable?"

Whether you're a man seeking a healthy competitive outlet or just curious about how virtue intersects with sportsmanship, this conversation will offer essential insights into finding freedom in competition and controlling your strength with meekness.

What You’ll Hear:

  • The hosts discuss the value of winning well and losing well, establishing a "Mount Rushmore" of ultra-competitive winners (including John the Apostle, Kobe Bryant, and St. Gabriel Lalemant) and a "Valley Rushmore" of poor losers
  • An exploration of the mindset of excellence and capacity, urging listeners to "fill that cup", contrasted with the frustration that leads to poor losing. This discussion includes the coaching philosophy of prioritizing growth over outcomes.
  • Why competition is addicting—the constant chase of perfection—and the insight that meekness, defined not as weakness but as knowing and controlling one's strength, is crucial for controlling oneself whether winning or losing.

The Truth About Men and Emotions: Cutting Onions Cry, Screamers & Jimmy V

In this episode of All-In podcast, the hosts explore the topic of emotions, weeping, and what it means to be a man to talk about The hosts are going all in on what it means for men to cry, show emotion, and move beyond generations of bottling things up.

Whether you're a listener who feels they are numbing their emotions, or just curious about how men can be vulnerable and process things healthily, this conversation will explore the extremes of emotional response and offer two steps toward finding a necessary inner life.

What You’ll Hear:

  • The different types of crying men experience, including the "cutting onions cry" and the dreaded "screamer". The hosts reflect on growing up without seeing men demonstrate emotion beyond anger.
  • A discussion on how fear is the root cause driving both extremes of emotional response: numbing emotions (like stoicism) and hyper-sensitivity, leading to explosions like frequent anger.
  • The powerful life lessons from former NC State coach Jim Valvano (Jimmy V), who said that for a day to be full, you need to do three things: laugh, think, and cry.

Why Extreme Morning Routines Are Overrated — and How to Build a Real One

In this episode of All In, The hosts explore the craze of morning routines to talk about the ridiculous extremes of the internet’s obsession with morning routines—like submerging your face in Saratoga water at 3:45 AM—and discover what truly makes a routine successful.

Whether you're a young adult trying to find consistency or a father navigating the chaos of small children, or just curious about the self-help craze and decision fatigue, this conversation will help you discern if your morning structure prepares you to give yourself as a gift to others.

What You’ll Hear:

  • The absurdity of the YouTube morning routine trend, including waking up before 4:00 AM, using specific high-end water for ice immersion, and smashing watermelons as a therapeutic activity.
  • The crucial distinction between building a routine purely for self-care versus one designed to "fill your cup" so you are ready to "pour it out" and serve others throughout the challenging day.
  • Why the craving for consistency and stability drives the routine obsession, and how this links to deep historical concepts like religious communities performing the same prayers every morning, and Arthur Brooks' "creator hours".

Why Making Friends as a Grown Man Is So Hard

In this episode of The All-In podcast, the hosts explore what happens when big chickens want to be friends. Why is it so hard for men to move past shared activities (like watching a game or playing chess) to form deep, vulnerable friendships?.

Whether you're a man seeking deeper connections or just curious about the startling statistics on male loneliness and isolation, this conversation will help you identify practical steps for building trust and shared vulnerability.

What You’ll Hear:

  • The essential role of shared experience, such as road trips (often involving "big chickens going places together"), or participating in activities like watching a game or playing basketball, in laying the groundwork for male friendship.
  • How to get over the "gap" and initiate the shift toward a deep connection by leading with your own weakness and sharing personal suffering, such as struggles with unchastity or family relationships.
  • Insight into why men are 335% more likely to join a monthly men's event when invited, contrasting with data showing that 50% of all US adults experience loneliness and 31% of Catholic men have no close relationships with a single man at their parish.

Why Small Talk Feels So Empty (And What to Do Instead)

In this episode of All In podcast, the guys explores why conversations today feel stale and how listeners can move past small talk to find genuine connection.

Whether you're someone whose career is based on full-time communication, or just curious about how to overcome cultural polarization and social anxiety in dialogue, this conversation will provide tips and tricks to foster deeper connections by leading with curiosity.

What You’ll Hear:

  • The cultural factors—including the effects of social media algorithms, short-form content like YouTube shorts and TikTok, and a fear of disagreement—that have created polarization and conversational echo chambers.
  • How to move beyond small talk by applying a conversational roadmap that progresses from shallow entry (invitation) to shared experience, then deeper into values, meaning, and beliefs.
  • The surprising insight that podcasts have "blown up" because people are not having conversations in their own lives and are seeking to be "a part of a conversation" by listening to others.

Why Asking for Help Feels Like Failure to Men

In this episode of All In, the hosts explore the topic of being too scared to ask for help when faced with adult responsibilities and home projects.

Whether you're a young man, a young dad, or just curious about the anxiety of feeling like you should know how to fix things (even though no one ever taught you), this conversation will help you realize it's okay to try new things and not know what you're doing and allow yourself to be weak and ask for help.

What You’ll Hear:

  • The hosts confessing that they have no idea what they're doing as handymen and adults, detailing failures like spending six days on garage shelves that collapsed and the crippling, two-month fear of using a grill that took 10 hours to assemble.
  • Why simple tasks necessitate constant trips to the hardware store (requiring a minimum of "at least five times" for one project), and the shame of ignoring essential maintenance, such as the host who was too embarrassed to admit he replaced his own car struts, leading to completely bald tires.
  • The intense pressure on new fathers to be providers, and the surprising link between struggling to build a bookshelf and the terrifying reality of being left alone with a newborn, realizing suddenly, "I don't know what to do".

What Makes Golf's Most Intense Event - History, Pairings, and Hilarious Stories w/ Joe Moran (Our First Guest!)

In this virtual drop episode of All In, the guys sit down with Joe Moran, an unsolicited expert in all things Ryder Cup, to talk about the intense rivalry, dramatic player pairings, and the "cauldron of pressure" surrounding professional golf's biggest team event.

Whether you're a professional golf fan, looking for job search strategy, or just curious about the unique pressures of team competition and career transitions, this conversation will equip you with the inside stories and technical analysis needed to appreciate the drama of the Ryder Cup and master the LinkedIn "neighborhood".

What You’ll Hear:

  • Why the Ryder Cup's matchplay format creates a "cauldron of pressure," causing players like Keegan Bradley and Rob McIntyre to call the first tee shot the most nervous experience in golf.
  • The hilarious true story of Joe's aggressive "discrepancy" interview prank with a colleague, and his analysis of why LinkedIn is becoming a video-focused "neighborhood".
  • The Keegan Bradley underdog narrative: why he was snubbed for the team two years ago and his dramatic refusal to unpack his golf bag since the demoralizing 2014 loss at Glen Eagles, waiting until he wins a Ryder Cup.

“Vacation Dad” Mode, Mullets, “Bottom Bells” and Other Father Wisdom

In this episode of All In, hosts John Michael, Jose, and Clayton explore what it truly means to be a great father and a good son, acknowledging the complexities and challenges of modern fatherhood.

Whether you're a young dad, soon-to-be dad, or just curious about the intricate journey of fatherhood and family life, this conversation offers candid discussions, personal anecdotes, and valuable insights into navigating parenting, faith, and family dynamics.


What You’ll Hear:

  • Mount Rushmore of Dads: The hosts debate and honor figures like Kobe Bryant, Will Smith (from The Pursuit of Happyness), John Krasinski (from A Quiet Place), and St. Louis Martin for their exemplary fatherhood, alongside honorable mentions like Vin Diesel from The Pacifier and their own fathers.
  • The Evolving Father-Son Relationship: Personal reflections are shared on the special transition from being a father to a son to being more like a brother to a brother as men. This includes John Michael navigating the unique challenges of raising a child with Down's Syndrome and Jose's father's significant sacrifice in moving his family from Mexico to the US.
  • Realities of Dad Life: Humorous and vulnerable discussions cover lessons they wished they'd listened to their dads about, such as golf or financial literacy. The episode also highlights the importance of seeking mentorship from older dads and the less-than-glamorous "dad jobs," like cleaning up kids' vomit and managing dirty diapers.

Health & Fitness Culture: The Fine Line Between Dedication and Obsession

In this episode of The All-In podcast, the hosts explore the topic of whether extreme health and fitness has become a new religion, questioning if you need a "six-pack to get into heaven".

Whether you're navigating the modern health and fitness world, or just curious about the fine line between dedication and obsession, this conversation will offer candid insights into finding a "middle ground" for a balanced life.


What You’ll Hear:

  • The hyper-obsession in the health and fitness world, from elaborate supplement stacks and wearable tech (like Garmin and Whoop) to the intense debate over seed oils and specific diets.
  • Hilarious personal anecdotes and gym fails, including awkward encounters with "nipples" showing through tight polos, sleeping in Wranglers, a humiliating Orange Theory puking story with a father-in-law, and the comical experience of a golf team doing "plyometrics" while a football team maxed out.
  • A deep dive into whether health and fitness has become a new form of "salvation" or "addiction," exploring the extreme biohacking of individuals like Brian Johnson (who spends $2 million a year on his quest for immortality) and the societal drive to challenge oneself with "impossible tasks" like climbing Mount Everest without leaving the city.

Dynasty vs. Underdog: The Battle for College Football's Soul

In this episode of the All-In Podcast, John Michael, Clayton, and Jose explore the profound shifts in college football, including universities directly paying players, and passionately debate the game's very soul: the enduring appeal of dynasties versus the thrill of the underdog story.

  • Personal takes on the most intimidating and beloved game day environments in college football, including LSU's Death Valley at Night, Nebraska's Memorial Stadium, and surprising insights into player welfare that challenge traditional amateurism, such as a lineman without electricity.

Whether you're a man in early college, late high school, your 30s, or just curious about authentic male friendship and a shared journey of faith, this conversation will invite you into a community of brothers and offer insights on what it looks like to be "all in" on who God calls you to be, even amidst life's messiness.

What You’ll Hear:

• Humor, Heart, and "Unsolicited Advice": Enjoy humorous anecdotes like Jose's dramatic arrival at Bible study in a Mercedes-Benz contrasting with a "beat down moped," Clayton's "hard award" in golf, and their self-proclaimed expertise in giving "unsolicited advice" with certainty on topics they "know nothing about".
