We're recapping a packed Disney trip that took us from Blizzard Beach to EPCOT, from a one-night resort stay to Banana Ball, and finally to Disney's Animal Kingdom for breakfast, snacks, shopping, and Disney's new Bluey experience. We kick things off at Blizzard Beach, where we cool down with some water park fun, try a couple of sweet treats including the S'mores Churro, and even run into a listener along the way. From there, we head to EPCOT to check out the limited-time Annual Passholder Lounge inside Restaurant Marrakesh and share whether this summer perk is worth making time for. Next, we check into the Meliá Orlando Celebration for a one-night stay before heading to ESPN Wide World of Sports to experience Banana Ball. We'll discuss the atmosphere, entertainment, and whether this unique event lives up to the hype. On Saturday, we make our way to Disney's Animal Kingdom for breakfast at Satu'li Canteen, check out some new merchandise, sample snacks from Isle of Java and Pizzafari, and join the virtual queue for Disney's newest Bluey experience. Along the way, we highlight our favorite moments, biggest surprises, best values, and the experiences we'd most recommend. Whether you're planning a Walt Disney World vacation or just love hearing about what's new around the parks, this episode is packed with reviews, tips, and plenty of Disney fun.

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints work in nearly every profession imaginable. Some, including the two guests on this episode of the Church News podcast are professional athletes. But Kaden Bowler and Bronson Balholm play in a unique league with equally unique rules in a spinoff of America’s pastime — Banana Ball. Bowler grew up largely in northern Utah’s Cache Valley where he played high school baseball before serving a mission on the other side of the world in Cambodia. Balholm is from Southern California. He played baseball in college, including time at Arizona State University. For Bowler, moving from the “darkest, loneliest time” of his life, to now being “super grateful for where I am,” was not an easy or predictable process. Balholm likewise had an unpredictable path that led to the two players meeting in Savannah, Georgia, where they attended the same young single adult branch. “There are going to be ups and downs,” Balholm said. “But the Lord’s always going to be there. You always gotta keep coming up to the next at-bat.” On this episode of the Church News podcast, Bowler and Balholm join Church News editor Jon Ryan Jensen to describe how playing baseball, serving a mission and studying the scriptures has helped them develop faith in Jesus Christ.

Our family had a great time last Friday attending the Banana Ball event at Equity Bank Park.
In today's edition of The Update Journal… the rulebook officially leaves the chat.We dive into the completely unhinged world of Banana Ball — where bunting is apparently a federal offense, fans can record outs from the stands, and baseball finally asked the question: “What if we let the theater kids run the league?” Somewhere, traditional baseball executives are currently stress-eating sunflower seeds in silence.Then, we take a confusing detour into “Halfway to Halloween,” because candy companies have apparently decided spooky season now begins shortly after Easter. Nothing says “summer is coming” quite like seeing skeleton-shaped Twix bars while you're still paying off Memorial Day cookout expenses. Candy now operates on its own fiscal calendar, and frankly, Spirit Halloween is probably already scouting abandoned Rite Aid locations as we speak.And in Brandon's Take: Teacher Appreciation Week… with teacher expectations. Because while free bagels and tote bags are nice, teachers are still somehow expected to be educators, therapists, security guards, tech support, event planners, and miracle workers before 8 AM. We appreciate teachers so much that we reward them with pizza… and three new responsibilities.Basically, today's episode asks one very important question: Did society quietly become a parody of itself while we were distracted?In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Wednesday, the horrific Inwood fire that killed three people, including a top veteran fashion journalist and her elderly mother, was caused by a neighbor who carelessly flicked his cigarette butt, prosecutors said.The estranged husband of a prominent New York City art dealer said he wished his spouse was dead before the co-owner of a contemporary art gallery was found stabbed to death in his Brazilian townhouse, a witness testified as a murder-for-hire trial got underway in Manhattan.And in Baltimore, prosecutors announced criminal charges in the deadly 2024 collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, accusing a Singapore-based ship operator of intentionally relying on an improper fuel pump that contributed to the ruinous crash and then lying about it to investigators.
Ever heard of the Savannah Bananas? They're a baseball team with millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram — known as much for their dance routines and shenanigans as their actual baseball. Now their league, Banana Ball, has resurrected the Indianapolis Clowns, a Negro League team with a contentious history of racial minstrelsy. We chop it up with journalist Josh Levin, who followed the Clowns through their Banana Ball debut.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Caleb Epp fills in for JB, and CannCon, Alpha Warrior, Cam Cooksey, and Caleb get right into it. CannCon coins the new show slogan, "Men Unsupervised," before diving into Mother's Day recaps and NHL playoff predictions with Caleb backing the Avs over the Sabres in six. Alpha brings a full breakdown of the Savannah Bananas and all 11 rules of Banana Ball that somehow makes the strongest case yet for it being the most entertaining sport in America. Cam keeps the chaos going with a trained Florida alligator clip, a Georgia Bulldogs stadium roast, and the Uncle Otis Hennessy birthday cake that the whole crew cannot explain. The show closes on a live audience poll after watching a husband catfish his own wife headed to a Tinder date, with the chat splitting dead fifty-fifty on whether it was real. Men unsupervised. Episode 80.

There's a hot new sport sweeping the nation, and once again it's named after a food. It's banana ball, and it's basically baseball but weird. Kind of like how pickleball is tennis but weird.

The Savannah Bananas have become one of the most polarizing topics on social media. Fans either love 'em or love how their kids react to them, or have a deep hatred of all things Banana Ball. Tony Mazur talks about the meteoric rise and how some kids' first introduction to baseball may be because of the Bananas, and that may not be the best thing. He also covers travel ball and the changes Rob Manfred has pushed onto the game to court younger fans the last decade.

Adnan Virk joins Stugotz, and the crew talks about how hard it is to avoid spoilers when not watching sports live. The Knicks are officially in trouble after losing Game 3 to Atlanta, and Taylor says it couldn’t be clearer how lost Mike Brown is. Adnan went to the Flyers/Penguins game in Philadelphia and talks about that experience. On a related note, Mikey A is taking his son to a Savannah Bananas game tonight and is already bracing for the challenges that’ll come with it. Did Mayor Zohran Mamdani curse the Mets, and why does it seem like Juan Soto hates his teammates?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We talk a lot about building successful things. But what does it actually take to build something people love? Jesse Cole has built an entirely new genre of entertainment: The Savannah Bananas and the Banana Ball League. They're a viral sensation, selling out stadiums across the country, and have over 4.2 million fans on their ticket waitlist. On the surface, Banana Ball looks like a wild and entertaining version of baseball. But underneath it all is something much more disciplined: an obsession with the fan experience. Jesse calls his approach Fans First and it's more than a slogan and the title of his book… It's a standard. Every minute of the two-hour games are crammed with attention grabbing spectacle. It's a full-blown live experience designed for every seat in the stadium: players dance, fans are part of the show, trick plays defy the laws of physics, there are multiple sing-alongs… all during an actual baseball game. In this conversation, we talk about building something new for others, from embracing years of failure (including selling just two tickets in the first three months), to creating experiences that make people feel included, joyful, and valued. We also discuss how he took inspiration from Disney and PT Barnum, the importance of affordable in-person experiences, and how his team reviews every single detail after every show to get better the next day. Because what Jesse's building goes beyond just entertainment. It's a place where people can feel seen for generations to come. And in a world that often moves too fast to build things with care… Those human details might be what matter most. This… is A Bit of Optimism. --------------------------- To learn more about the Banana Ball League or sign up for the ticket waitlist, check out: https://bananaball.com/ Or if you want all things Savannah Bananas, head to: https://thesavannahbananas.com/ ---------------------------

Jesse Cole is the Walt Disney of baseball. As the founder and CEO of the Savannah Bananas and its parent company Fans First Entertainment, Jesse rewrote the rules of baseball to build an entertainment juggernaut. There are no bunts, walks or mound visits in Banana Ball, but there are dancing umpires, trick plays and choreographed dance numbers. But the Savannah Bananas are more than just a zany take on America’s past time, they are a $500 million business. In this episode of The Deal, Jesse tells Alex and Jason the tale of how the Bananas went from a struggling Coastal Plain League team to a multi-team league that sells out NFL stadiums. He also shares why he doesn’t charge his fans taxes or ticket fees and why Bananas games stream free on YouTube- despite the league having a deal with ESPN. Jesse also explains the details of a mistake that cost him $6 million and why he is inspired by both Dana White and Lorne Michaels.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Coach Tory and Coach Don preview episode 414, thank Patreon supporters, and share a “good news, bad news” did-you-know: pitching coach Bill Hillhouse has died after battling cancer, while Oklahoma pitching coach Jennifer Rocha has returned to the dugout after her own cancer fight, alongside encouragement to support cancer research. The City of the Week is Oxford, Mississippi. A recruiting listener question challenges “Division I or bust,” emphasizing academics and that playing college softball at any level is an accomplishment. Tory then discusses unrealistic expectations for young players transitioning from tee ball/coach pitch to kid pitch and travel ball, stressing long-term development over quick fixes. The cleanup segment reviews a popular Atlanta-area Banana Ball-style tournament, praising the fun while noting safety and skill concerns for young players. The coaching tip argues coaches must clearly communicate team rules and reasons for discipline/benching and enforce rules consistently.Support the show
