October 10, 2024 20. Luke Vercollone- Inferno Catholic Men & Save the Storks
Thank you for listening to this podcast everyone! I hope and pray that this podcast finds you all well, and struggling in our lives to be the best Men we can be! Remember, i have NOT arrived! I am in this fight with you, daily, fighting against the world with my Wife and my amazing children!

This podcast today is a special one…well, they all are, but this one, as you’ll soon find out, is the first podcast i’ve ever done with a soccer player! A footballer! That’s not the most amazing thing this Man is known and loved for! I’ll let you listen and find out the rest of the story!

One thing I messed up on that will hopefully never happen again is I did not put my Rode microphones into stereo mode, so you will unfortunately hear this podcast through one earphone, rest assured, your headphones are not broken! It was my fault.

This man is an amazing guy and is so good to others around him. Last year I met him through a few people and he immediately took me in like he had known me for years! He invited my Sons and myself down to attend our first ever “Inferno Catholic Men’s conference” in Colorado Springs and asked me if we could help stuff bags for all the men. I obviously said yes and met him down there at like 0500 in the morning the day before. My kids and I jumped right in and before you know it, he asked me if I would help with various other things, introduced me to “all the men” who were helping with various roles in the leadership part of the entire thing, and invited my oldest, Joseph, who was 17 at the time, to run the Audio/Visual for him…for over 900 Men in attendance. Joseph did such an amazing job and I am so proud of him!

And, if you come to the conference, we have special guests such as Jesse Romero, Chris Stefanick, Jim Wahlburg, and others! I’ll even be speaking at this conference, so if you come, I would love to meet you!

It’s amazing how God works in our lives. Because Joseph was not sitting with me or my (at the time) 15 year old Son, I was able to have my first real deep conversation with Dominic and really bond with him. It was one of the greatest talks i’ve ever had with him!

Men, so important here, and I say it so many times during the podcast, if you are looking for one of the greatest Catholic Men’s conferences to go to this year, November 9th at the Antler’s hotel in Colorado Springs at the Inferno Men’s Conference should be your choice! It’s $100 per man, but for now, at least the last time I checked, it is $55 per Man and free for teen Sons! I assume it is 13-19 years of age!

Please enjoy the podcast and see below for all the links!

Here is the premier place to find my podcast currently, as well as apple podcasts and spotify!

Soon i’ll be free from the Army and able to switch over to audio AND video podcasts! It will be nice to watch the conversation instead of just listening and i’ll have the time to do it too!

As always too, check out my Screwtape letters lenten series on youtube on my channel, talkingwithagoodman podcast! Stay tuned too, because i’ll begin work soon on my next lenten series!

Stay safe, stay awesome to your Families, and stay awake my fellow brothers! Stay in the struggle because he’s comin’ back soon!

March 15, 2024 19: Jason Jones-Hiking the Ball when No one else Will
Hello! Welcome back to another episode of Talking with a Goodman. I’m Jay Goodman and this podcast today is very special. I mean, aren’t they all, right? I probably say that every single time, but Jason Jones is someone who puts himself out there, but quietly until the right time, if that makes sense. It probably doesn’t, but if you knew what I know, it would.
Jason Jones, in a sentence, and he will tell you this, is a VERY zealous Catholic Man, is an American Film Producer and human rights activist. But that one sentence, except for the part about him being a very strong catholic Man, is a drop in the bucket. He the President and founder of Hero Inc, known for two massive projects, the movie to movement and the vulnerable people project, of which my family started giving to each month and you should too, and i’ll have a few links at the bottom.
What Jason is doing and where he is going doesn’t get noticed as much as you would think, and that’s just because of our modern day news and the way it is. I think what he is doing and where he has been going will be eventually very noticed, but he lives largely in a silent place and in an unheard place with people that are unheard and silenced and that’s not cool with me at all! People in America really are blind, and really are just completely oblivious to what’s really going on in the world.
We will find in this podcast from Jason what it’s like to stand up and advocate for the truly vulnerable out there and the people out there who are truly being taken advantage of. Jason is there trying to stop it. Somehow he still finds time to be the best Dad and Husband he can be, like all of us!
After listening to this podcast, if you would like to help out his causes, the “movie to movement” project and the “vulnerable people” project, here are the links:
https://www.movietomovement.com/about
https://vulnerablepeopleproject.com
If you would like to help out my ministry, and I definitely need the help, to further my reach, give me the ability to publish my upcoming first book I am currently writing, to help fund editing, to make this podcast better technically, and to fund my future events and projects I have scheduled, please send all funds to @jaygoodman75 on venmo. Thank you so much if you have given and may God bless you all.
Stay holy Men! If we fall, and I do daily, we get back up and keep moving forward. I try to go to confession once a week and employ what I like to call “spiritually tactics” to help me to be more solid and to be strong enough that if I do mess up or have a spiritual setback, i’ll feel normal guilt and not shame.
Take care and i’ll talk to you next time!

March 14, 2024 18. Bishop Larry and the Maui Lahaina Fires
Welcome to another episode of Talking with a Goodman! I’m so glad you are here. I hope and pray that you grow closer to Jesus through my ministry of Podcasting.
Men, we have an epidemic of mass proportions of Men not taking back their homes from satan. We are the gatekeepers of our homes and if we are struggling with addictions, porn, drugs, too much alcohol, laziness, whatever it is, then we are participating in sitting on the sidelines and not being engaged in the fight. We are in a football game except we know Jesus will win, he already won the game, but we are being called to play the game out. Don’t sit on the sidelines, being either too humble to go to work in the game, or too scrupulous to see past our pride, but to be magnanimous, saying to yourself and others, “hey, i’m good at A B or C, and I can’t help”. That is what it’s all about. And if you think i’m arrived or something and that’s why I have this podcast, you are dead wrong. I’ve had the worst spiritual life these last few weeks and doing these podcasts help me to decide to be stronger. I do this ministry and am constantly trying to expand it because of what I see in ME, as well as AROUND ME. It scares me.
Remember these two things: 1), I am public enemy number one, and 2), I am always one decision away from ruining my life and probably consequently others lives around me. I learned that from an old Pastor of mine when I was Protestant, and it still sticks as a Catholic in the one true Church started by God through Peter.
As for Maui and the devastation, please give. Give what you can, it goes straight to the effort to help them. If you want to verify it, google epic ministry and do your due diligence and confirm where this money is going.
Bishop Larry is an awesome Man, I really enjoyed hanging out with him, spending time around him, and seeing his heart in action. He confirmed all three of my kids and i’m honored to know that Man.
Here is the link if you feel in your heart to give to the Maui Fire relief through Bishop Larry of Hawaii:
https://app.aplos.com/aws/give/EPICMinistry/mauiwildfirerelief
If you find it in your heart to help my budding ministry, please give at my venmo: @jaygoodman75. I need every penny and every penny helps me. I am planning something really cool and highly necessary for next lent, 2025, so be on the lookout! I am still organizing the first Catholic Men’s Pilgrimage in the Mountains of Denver Colorado!!! Work will begin this summer when there’s no snow. Keep watch for that!
If you want to get hold of me, my email as always is [email protected]
Until next time, may God bless you, and may you constantly ask for the strength to be truly magnanimous! In the words of Paul, 1st Corinthians 16: 13, “Be watchful, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong!”

December 08, 2023 17. Bob Parker_Pearl Harbor Survivor Untold Story
Welcome to episode 17! This is a recording I have had stuck in my phone for over 10 YEARS! I found it recently and wanted to wait until today, December 7th, to release it to honor this individual as well as all those who perished in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
December 7th, 1941 was the date that lives in infamy. If you would like to get hold of me, email me at [email protected] and all my podcasts can also be found on http://www.castingthe.net with my good friend Dave Fortin who is a fellow podcaster.
Be watching! In 2025 I will have the first ever Catholic Men’s Pilgrimage in Colorado. It will be in July of 2025 and will begin at the Saint Francis Cabrini Shrine. Then using a guide and some previous extreme planning, we will all hike from there and go about 7-10 miles a day over about a week until we reach Saint Catherine’s Chapel on the Rock outside of Estes Park. There will be guest speakers every day, including Dave Fortin, who has agreed to come here and be a guest speaker on one of the days! i have about 4 speakers as of right now, so if you are interested in being a speaker, please email me and i can meet with you on zoom to see if you would be a good fit for it. Each night there will be a fire pit, (weather and permits permitting) along with Cigars, Pipes (if you choose to) and the Saint and Drink of the day by me. Each morning before the hike there will be a mass, followed by a stretching session from Alexander Frank (check him out on youtube!) and each night before we “bed down”, we will have a rosary given by a special guest.
Talk to you all next time and I hope you enjoyed this podcast!

November 07, 2023 16. Eddie Barinque_Cancer & A Rocky Montage Jesus Healing
Hey! Welcome back to talking with a good man podcast, i’m Jay Goodman. This show is all about Catholic masculinity and being the best Man God created you to be.
Today’s guest on my show is a very good friend of mine named Eddie Barinque. I met him a few years ago in the Catholic Men’s group here called “fishers of Men”. I have gotten to know him a lot more over the last few years too. He’s a great Man of God, an awesome Catholic guy who really loves his family, and he has a cool job too! He makes t-shirts at a business he started called “tee by you” t shirts. It is a company where you get to come in with a design, or choose one he has and you get to try your hand at creating a t shirt, pressing it and making it on your own through a little help and expertise from this amazing man. He has 3 children, an amazing Wife who loves him so much, and so many friends in his Hawaiian catholic Ohana here.
Recently however, he found out he has a form of cancer called Non hodgkin’s lymphoma.
It was metastasized enough that he had to immediately leave the island and go to an excellent hospital and cancer center in Texas for treatment. I was so sad when I saw him at the last Catholic homeschool event we had because he had lost so much weight and was so tired. This guy is usually a machine….he is ripped, works out all the time and really bruises and buffets his body daily like a good Catholic man should. So I was definitely worried when he wasn’t his normal self. I mean, he would do some pretty amazing physical things and then he wasn’t able to, at least for a short time.
But this cancer knocked him down. I saw him before he left and he was very different…. Then after he left it’s like God took him through a long, drawn out Spiritual Rocky montage towards healing and building his body back again.
He is a very strong Man, a very good man, and someone who I want to take parts of what he stands for and model my life after. I had the honor of sitting down and as we say in Hawaii “talk story” with him. (talk story means something like hang out or spend time w someone).
Anyway, it is my great pleasure to introduce Eddie Barinque.
If you would like to get in touch with me, my email is [email protected].
Also, I am now partnered with Salt and Light Radio out of Boise Idaho!! (Podcasting and Speaking seems to be so fluid and ever-changing!) and I now have a 2 minute show on their radio station where I am finally putting my 23 years of being a Fitness Trainer to good use for God! I have a show where I take Exercise and Nutrition and help you use that to be more spiritual and be closer to Jesus. So please check that out, but enjoy it on this show today so you can hear the First Episode without trying to find the show on youtube. If you could though, please go to the youtube channel below and comment that you loved my show. It would actually really help my efforts and showing on that radio station. Thank you!
In this podcast too, youʻll find the Drink and Saint of the Day from Michael Foleyʻs book, “Drinking with the Saints”. You can go to his website, https://www.drinkingwiththesaints.com or Amazon to purchase this book or his other books!
As always at the end of my show, I play you a short “Silent Retreat” sung by my favorite Priest ever, Father Rheo from Holy Family Catholic Church in Honolulu, Hawaii.
If you feel in your heart to donate to my show and future efforts, and believe me, MANY things are going to happen over the next 2 years, please send all donations to my Venmo which is @jaygoodman75.

June 04, 2023 15. CSM Nathan Marshall_God, Grit and the 82nd Airborne!
Hey! I’m Jay Goodman and this is Talking with a Good Man, or TWAG. You know, my last name, Good Man, is an absurdly hard one to live up to, iʻm more fail than success when it really comes down it, but the difference is I will never stop the struggle, I will never give up the fight to be holy.
Through daily successes and lots of failures, I work to be forgiving and loving while striving for strength with magnanimity because, hey…we’re all made for greatness and God calls us all to truly be a Good Man.
Join me in striving to be a Good Man, for yourself, your Family, your Church, and most importantly for our Lord Jesus!! Let’s step into that scary breach, where the true work and danger is! And we as Men love the danger, don’t we? If we use it appropriately and righteously, mannnnnn in can bring strength.
My next guest is a CSM, or COMMAND SERGEANT MAJOR, the highest position and rank in the working Army. Let me explain…his rank is SGM, or SERGEANT MAJOR. Inside of that rank, his positional authority is a CSM. So he is the highest rank you can have in the Army enlisted side of things, or E-9 AND he is the second positional rank from the top of the entire Enlisted Army, which would be SERGEANT MAJOR OF THE ARMY. Yes, that means, if you are in the Army and you happen to meet the Sergeant Major of the Army, you would address him as, “Yes, Sergeant Major of the Army…” or “No, Sergeant Major of the Army”. We must literally address him with that complete title when speaking to him. To say “Sergeant” or “Sergeant Major” would be an insult and disrespectful. The same sort of goes with CSM Nathan Marshall. If you donʻt know him like I do, and you are a Soldier who comes across him, you would FIRST address him as “Beautiful morning CSM!” And THEN after he addresses you, you would use “SGM” in place of CSM until you are done talking to him. THEN, when you are leaving his presence, you finish by saying something like, “Have a good day CSM Marshall!”
Thank God he is Nathan to those of us Men from the Hawaii group. That is WAY too complicated, isnʻt it? But he deserves it and he earned it through his hard work, which is extremely hard as he is the CSM for the mighty 82nd Airborne!!! Hooooooahhhh!!!!
They were first introduced to combat on June 25th, 1918 in France during WW1 and have been located at Fort Bragg since then! They had many very dangerous roles during D day such as capturing bridges over the Merderet River at La Fiere and Chef du pont and capturing and destroying bridges over the douve river at beuzeville la bastille. They also participated in Operation market garden, an allied attack on holland, and the great battle of the buldge. SGM Nathan Marshall is part of this elite airborne unit but best of all, he is the one enlisted Soldier in charge of the entire thing!! Iʻll tell you something else about this Man, he reminds me a lot of General Hal Moore, made famous in the movie “we were soldiers” in the sense that I know Nathan, and I know for a 100% fact he is as old as me, is hurting, has all sorts of body problems from our great time in the Army, but he jumps WITH HIS MEN, and leads them the way a leader should lead. He really cares about the Men assigned to him, and treats everyone with respect and a great sense of brotherhood. He really loves his Wife and kids fiercely too and spends time with them, engages with them, and although he would be the first to tell you how imperfect he is, I know for a fact that he does his best every day to leave work at work and to be a husband and dad to the best of his ability.
For these reasons, as well as so much more that youʻll soon hear, I am very humbled and excited to introduce my brother in Christ, friend and comrade, CSM Nathan Marshall. For more information or to contact me, or to order Shaklee and change your life nutritionally, email me at [email protected].

Recently I had the pleasure of being part of what my friend Dave Fortin and I are trying to do every so often is bring these six great Men together to talk about things, pick each otherʻs brains and hopefully make it applicable to you and your life in some way by way of a topic. Todayʻs topic is discouragement and how to overcome it…how we each overcome it and work through it.

March 03, 2023 12. Steven Arms: Milestone to Manhood
Welcome back to another episode of Talking with a Good Man!
My next guest is named Sir Steven Arms, author of his book “Milestone to Manhood”. When he was 13, his Father, Uncle and “Bobo”, (his Grandfather) took him through a Catholic rite of passage, an initiation, into manhood when he was 13 years old. Now he has taken the time to carefully document his experiences and how it was done and along with his Father, he wrote this amazing book.
Now you can learn how to do this and take your Sons through this same beautiful and manly rite of passage…or if you know someone who has a young Son, you can gift it. What if you knew a good friend and found out he and his Wife had a baby boy? You could certainly get this as an awesome wedding gift.
Update!!!!!!
He just released a 6-week workbook to add to the “Milestone to Manhood” book!!! Check it out on Amazon.
My last name, Good Man, its an absolutely hard one to live up to, sometimes near-impossible! Through daily successes and lots of failures, I work to be forgiving and loving while striving for strength with magnanimity because we’re all made for greatness and God calls us all to truly be a Good Man.
join me in striving to be a Good Man, for yourself, your Family, your Church, and most importantly for God!! Let’s step into that scary breach, where the work and danger is! And we as Men love the danger, don’t we? If we use it appropriately and righteously, mannnnnn in can bring strength.
He will also tell you his favorite Saint and favorite drink as well as how he got to where he is now, his trials and tribulations and how he really loves his Wife and children and is looking forward to his 1-year old Son becoming 13.
