Lewis and Clark are often thought of as some of the earliest explorers of the western U.S. But more than a century before, Moncacht-Ape, a Yazoo explorer, reached the Pacific Ocean mainly by foot. The Indigenous explorer’s accounts were documented by French colonists, but were often dismissed as being untrue. But as featured in an article in Outside Magazine, historians and explorers may have been looking at the accounts all wrong.    Mike Bezemek, author of “Mysteries of the National Parks,” wrote about his experience following the Yazoo explorer’s trail in the documented accounts and argues that Moncacht-Ape’s accounts are true. Bezemek joins us to share more on his journey and who this Yazoo explorer was.     k

What if the biggest stories in America and around the Western world are all connected?In this episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings examines what he calls the emerging Sovereignty Era — a historic shift in which ordinary citizens are demanding greater accountability from government, renewed respect for national borders, meaningful citizenship, election integrity, and a return to self-government.For decades, political elites operated under the assumption that national sovereignty was becoming less important in an increasingly globalized world. But reality has a way of challenging assumptions. Across America and throughout Europe, citizens are increasingly asking whether governments are listening to the people they are supposed to serve.Doug explores why so many seemingly unrelated events point to the same larger trend: a growing demand for accountability, representation, and common sense. From questions surrounding election integrity and border security to citizenship, national identity, and the role of government itself, this episode connects the dots behind the headlines and offers a broader historical perspective on where America may be headed.This isn't a discussion about left versus right.It's a discussion about whether citizens still have a voice in their own government.Join Doug for a thoughtful conversation about why the Sovereignty Era may be the defining political and cultural shift of our time.Contribute to the show at: www.DougBillings.usThe Right Side with Doug BillingsWe're in this together.

Welcome back to Capture The Magic! This week we're diving into all the latest Disney World news and there's honestly so much happening right now. First up, Disney just dropped their complete 4th of July food and drink guide and wow, there are some seriously patriotic treats coming our way. We're talking red, white and blue everything across all four parks. Plus we finally got more details about what to expect story-wise when Monstropolis opens at Magic Kingdom. The new land is going to be way more immersive than we initially thought. Speaking of new stuff, Toy Story 5 is bringing some cool passholder perks to Hollywood Studios, and everyone can grab that new Bullseye popcorn bucket. But if you wanted that Lightning McQueen popcorn bucket that just dropped, good luck because it sold out almost immediately. Classic Disney popcorn bucket chaos strikes again. Over at EPCOT, La Poutinerie is opening July 1st and we've got the full menu with pricing. Spoiler alert, it's not exactly budget-friendly but those loaded fries look incredible. And if you've been wanting to do brunch at Citricos, now's your chance since they're moving the Grand Floridian Cafe brunch over there. We're also reviewing those Mickey churro waffles from Spyglass Grill that everyone's been talking about, plus we tried some of the new Bluey treats at Pizzafari. Let's just say one of us was way more excited about Bluey than the other. Plus we're chatting about our recent park experiences including that busy Animation Courtyard, the updated Smuggler's Run experience with Mando and Grogu, and why Soarin' Across America hits different every single time.

Disney has reimagined several of its rides and attractions for Summer 2026, so we share our reviews for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, Soarin' Across America, Smugglers Run with Mandalorian and Grogu, new Animation Courtyard and more!

What if the financial system most Americans trust is only part of a much larger hidden structure operating behind the scenes? In this explosive episode, Mel Carmine joins Michael Jaco to discuss hidden financial systems, secret institutional structures, political corruption, and why a growing number of Americans are waking up to what they believe is a coordinated system of manipulation designed to keep the public financially dependent and politically divided. Mel also breaks down the major political shifts happening across the country as establishment politicians and “RINOs” continue losing influence amid rising grassroots frustration and public distrust in traditional leadership. At the center of the discussion is a deeper question:

Across America's biggest cities, groups of teenagers are swarming stores, attacking bystanders, targeting police officers, and organizing “teen takeovers” through social media. Officials insist crime is falling but viral videos tell a different story. Manhattan Institute fellow and “The War on Cops” author Heather Mac Donald joins Morning Wire to discuss what's driving the rise in youth violence, why cities are struggling to respond, and how anti-police policies may be making the problem worse.

These takeovers are becoming a big problem for law enforcement. I chat with Orange County Sheriff John Mina in episode #939 of The ANEZ SEZ podcast...

The Hot Take Hoedown is officially here — and the "Sons of Sandusky" are already $150 richer. This week Mike and EB debut their brand new segment featuring the spiciest opinions from around the theme park internet — and then decide whether each one is a genuine hot take, a bad take, or just something EB has been saying for years. Is Iron Gwazi actually better than VelociCoaster? Did Cedar Point peak in 2001? Should Space Mountain at Walt Disney World be permanently retired? Are RMC conversions a net negative for the industry? Was Epcot better before it had roller coasters? EB has thoughts on all of them. Some of them are his own. Before the Hoedown though — Cedar Point's Millennium Force has a seat belt problem and Tony Clark is blaming Intamin. NightFlight Expedition at Dollywood has quietly removed "spring 2026" from its website and now just says "2026." Soarin' Across America has opened at Epcot and it's getting the full Mike and EB treatment — spoiler, the lawn is not that green on the DC Mall. Montezooma's Revenge train has arrived at Knott's Berry Farm but enthusiasts are already upset about the over-the-shoulder restraints. And the Mystical Fountain at Lost Continent says goodbye — though Mike has a CoasterDamus prediction about where it ends up. The Hot Take Hoedown closes with one final take that might be the most genuinely interesting of the night — does consuming too much theme park content rob you of the ability to experience parks with wonder? And is "the price of expertise is the loss of wonder" the new Coaster Radio tagline? One thing is certain. EB wants to wrap up with the theme song. The Sons of Sandusky are standing by.

This week on Where We Roam, we're talking location, location, location with a Disney Resort Showdown featuring three of our favorite Walt Disney World resorts close to the parks: Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney's Yacht Club Resort. But first, Dayna joins us live from Disney's Hollywood Studios with a Disney Parks update, including her experience riding Soarin' Across America at EPCOT and the anticipation around Muppets Electric Mayhem taking over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. Then we go head-to-head-to-head with three very different Disney deluxe resorts. Animal Kingdom Lodge brings the savanna views, incredible theming, and some of the best resort dining at Disney World. The Polynesian delivers Monorail access, tropical vibes, Magic Kingdom convenience, and classic Disney nostalgia. Yacht Club brings the EPCOT resort area, walkability, Stormalong Bay, and easy access to both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. We rank each resort across the categories that matter most: location and transportation, theme and atmosphere, room size and layout, food and beverage, pools and amenities, and overall value. Which Disney resort wins when location is the name of the game? Listen in as we debate three Walt Disney World favorites and crown our winner.

How else to title this? Ha! Basically, which rides are and are not worth waiting in line for? Some have physically long lines that move quickly, others just happen to be entirely worth a long wait. How much do you agree with our lists? Plus a first peek at destinations for Soarin' Across America when it premieres at Disneyland later this year!
