    Episode 28 - A First Visit to London

    The Big Day has come and I crossed the Pond and went to Europe for the very first time, flying in style on United Airlines with some premium options.  I'll go over some the night before with my experience at the Wynn Buffet and a helicopter tour of the Las Vegas Strip, we'll go through some premium options when flying domestic or international such as cabin upgrades, TSA Precheck and United Clubs as well as a few spots I visited on my very first day in London including the Ancient Roman Wall, Tower Bridge and Picadilly Circus.  Join me as I explore and experience travelling to Europe and share some insights and experiences on what its like to visit London these days! Over the next several episodes, I will be sharing experiences from London and Paris and we will return to our regularly scheduled things to do in Southern California afterwards.

  3. Episode 27 - SeaWorld San Diego

    Episode 27 - SeaWorld San Diego

    My last visit to SeaWorld was in 2013.  10 years after the release of the documentary Blackfish that nearly destroyed the company and Sea World as we know it, how are they doing and have they made any meaningful changes to their parks to address the criticism?  On this visit, I'll be skipping the rides and shows and focusing directly on the animals themselves.  I'll also review the fairly new All-Day Dining plan and we'll find out if it is actually worth your money?  Let's head South to Sunny San Diego and explore Sea World!

    Episode 26 - The Grand Canyon Railway & Hotel

    The Grand Canyon is one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the world. It's frequently and almost universally on lists of the top 10 places to see before you die and is something that has to be seen in person for you to even start to comprehend the magnitude and majesty of what you are looking at. But while the Grand Canyon hardly needs any introduction, there is a way to add to your vacation by riding into the park in style onboard a 1950's streamliner train. With 6 classes of travel to choose, a full-service 3 star hotel and Williams Arizona with dozens of restaurants and shops jam packed along route 66, let me show you why adding Grand Canyon Railway to your Grand Canyon vacation is the only way to visit!

  5. Episode 25 - Jim Henson Studios VIP Tour

    08/03/2023

    Episode 25 - Jim Henson Studios VIP Tour

    I was afforded a fairly rare opportunity to tour the Jim Henson Company Lot in Hollywood, California and have a small audience with the one and only Brian Henson!  Unlike most movie studios, The Jim Henson Company does not do public tours on a regular basis, so at this 1917 Charlie Chaplin Hollywood original is a rare treat indeed. Finally, we were treated to a show of the Jim Henson Companies newest sensation, Puppet Up! Uncensored! Full audience audio with Brian Henson will be at the end of this episode. Enjoy! *Language Warning: Due to the nature of Puppet Up! Uncensored, some content is adults only.

  6. Episode 24 - The Los Angeles County Museum of Art

    17/02/2023

    Episode 24 - The Los Angeles County Museum of Art

    Is Art truly in the eye of the beholder or can some art be classified as a scam? I would widely consider paintings like the Mona Lisa to be art, while simultaneously scoff at a banana from the local grocery store being duct tape to a white poster board and selling for $125,000 as a scam.  We ponder these questions as I seek answers by expanding my horizons and trying something new at the World Famous Los Angeles County Museum of Art, known locally as LACMA.

    Episode 23 - The California Science Center

    Located just south of Downtown Los Angeles is a FREE museum that is home to the only Space Shuttle on the West Coast; The original Space Shuttle Endeavour. In edition, you'll get to see some amazing replicas and original spacecraft, aircraft, animals and even a Kelp Forest that mimics what the oceans look like off our coast. Many of the exhibits are hands on, which provide a lot of entertainment for both kids and adults.  The California Science Center is an incredible way to spend a few hours exploring some of our greatest advancements in science and where mankind is headed next.

    Episode 22 - Medieval Times: Dinner and Tournament

    Modern life can be stressful. Looking for a refuge from the chaos of cell phones, modern medicine and democracy? Enter Medieval Times: Dinner and Tournament, a SoCal native located in Buena Park, California (about a block from Knotts Berry Farm) since 1986.  You'll be treated as an honored guest of the Queen as you enjoy a meal fit for royalty while watching knights battle it out for your entertainment in a series of games and fights.  Compared to Excalibur's Tournament of Kings in Las Vegas, is Medieval Times the better show? Listen and find out out!
