  • State of "The U"--Midseason Report 2022
    Oct 25 2022

    Seven games into the 2022 college football season and the Canes are 3-4. It really comes at no big surprise considering the product "The U" has put on the field the last two decades. Mediocrity is not even the best description for the program. Coach Mario Cristobal definitely has his hands full in rebuilding this program back to respectability.

  • Micromanagement in Education
    Oct 18 2022

    Micromanaging is such a dirty word in the business world and office setting. But in education it drives teachers crazy. Especially when you have micromanaging principals and/or administrators in schools who want to control everything like lesson plans, how instruction should be delivered, to how your classroom should look and be ran; heck, they even want to control the thermostat setting. Why is that?

  • Universal Orlando's Loews Portofino Bay Hotel
    Oct 13 2022

    Loews Portofino Bay Hotel might be the best hotel on Universal Orlando's property. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary by staying there. Can I truly say this hotel is absolutely beautiful and will transport you to a little waterfront city on the coast of Italy. I'll also talk about the perks and benefits of staying there; particularly the unlimited Express Passes that comes with staying there. Lastly, is Universal Orlando truly ready to go pound-for-pound in a heavyweight fight with Disney now?

  • Some Educators Are the Bad Apple(s)
    Apr 21 2022

    My podcast has talked a lot about the shortcomings of both students and parents when it comes to education, especially in high school. However, in fairness and transparency, my podcast has also recognized that at times it is the educators themselves that are at fault or doing the most harm to our future generations. This episode looks at how the failures and wrongs of educators can cause serious danger and damage, and give the whole profession that "bad apple" reputation.

  • Abbott Elementary: Truth vs Fiction
    Apr 7 2022

    A brief overview about the new hit comedy series Abbott Elementary on ABC. There is a lot of humor in this TV series about teachers in an underprivileged black elementary school in Philadelphia, BUT there is also a lot of truth in it as well.

  • Florida Legislature 2022
    Mar 13 2022

    So the great state of Florida and its Republican legislature passed three controversial bills for Governor DeSantis to sign: Abortion, Individual Freedom (Stop WOKE Act) and the Parental Rights in Education (Don't Say Gay). How ironic that the abortion bill passes on March 3rd, during Women's History Month, and the last two bills passing on March 11th and 10th, respectively. This episode discusses these three bills and the impact, and the serious repercussions of those bills for Florida Republicans.
