Podcasts about EB

Closing weekend arrived for two very different roller coasters: ArieForce One at Fun Spot Atlanta and Kumba at Busch Gardens Tampa both took their final riders this past weekend, and Mike and EB dig into the real math behind why an $18 million RMC almost never survives in a family entertainment center, no matter how loudly the enthusiast line chants "save this ride." Listener trip reports roll in live from the queue. From there, the news comes in hot: Knott's Berry Farm's long-delayed MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress reportedly cost Six Flags a stunning $20 million for what's ultimately a 1978 shuttle loop with new paint and fog machines (and it's still not open), Universal is demolishing what's left of the beloved Poseidon's Fury show building as the Lost Continent disappears for good, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg drops a sneaky social media tease revealing a full rebuild is coming to the old Corkscrew Hill simulator building. Then the regional parks get serious about Halloween: Kings Island, Carowinds, and Six Flags Great Adventure are all getting a Friday the 13th-themed Jason house, SeaWorld parks are doing I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Busch Gardens is bringing Anaconda to life — which inspires the guys who bring Anaconda's villain Paul Sarone back from the dead to review every snake-named roller coaster in the country. After the break, Mike and EB get into the business side of the show, walking through a full overhaul of Coaster Radio's Patreon tiers — including a new producer-only Discord channel — before wrapping with a water park trip report from Crete and a juicy Screamscape rumor that Kings Island's aging Arrow suspended coaster, The Bat, might be on the chopping block to make room for something new.

The Drive understand that it is impossible to know when EB will return, and they wonder if him missing camp could have an impact on this team.

From 07/31 Hour 1: EB was dialed in yesterday and fell asleep around 9:00pm but his slumber came to a screeching halt at midnight and he had to enter “Dad Mode”.

07/31 Hour 4: EB's Fascinated By The New Spider-Man Movie - 1:00 Should The Nats Make Another Big Move This Weekend - 19:00 The Junkies Are Fired Up For This Weekend - 31:00

From 07/31 Hour 4: EB's getting ready for his vacation to OBX, but he's already planning to set aside a few hours to see the new Spider-Man movie. Do you think "Spider-Man" will surpass "The Odyssey" at the box office.

07/31 Hour 1: EB's Sleep Got Absolutely Derailed At Midnight - 1:00 Is It Weird For Another Man To Buy You This - 16:00 Junks Are Looking To Strike Gold With Investing - 32:00

A shorter episode this week, and a special one: Project Purple at Six Flags Great Adventure finally has a name and a POV video, and it might be the strangest thing we have ever seen a roller coaster do. Bakunawa — named for the moon-eating sea serpent of Filipino mythology — launches riders 60 mph out of the station, sends them upside down into a vertical stall while launching them a second time, then blasts them up a 382-ft tower at 100mph with zero floor beneath the seats before doing the entire thing again backwards. Mike and EB break down the three separate launches, debate whether "more of everything" is actually a substitute for something new, and land on the one moment in the ride that they think makes it worth the drive. After the break, Dollywood finally locks in an opening date for the long-delayed NightFlight Expedition: August 19th, following pass-holder previews. The guys will talk through why this ride could be the best of 2026. And then the news that prompted this shorter episode in the first place, Mike and EB officially announce Coaster Radio is moving its release date after more than 20 years of Thursday nights — new episodes will now drop early Tuesday mornings, timed to catch weekend park news and midweek commutes.

From 07/30 Hour 1: The 2026 Mubadala DC Open has been an incredible tournament so far! EB represented The Junkies yesterday and had a great time watching the tennis matches with his family.

From 07/30 Hour 3: Callers finally get their chance to steer the show on today's edition of Open Line Thursday! EB also tells the guys how excited he is for his upcoming trip to OBX.

Die kabinet het goedkeuring verleen dat die geldigheid van rybewyse vir ligte motorvoertuie van vyf na tien jaar verleng word. Die verandering is van toepassing op lisensiekodes A, A1, B en EB, terwyl swaar vrag- en openbare vervoervoertuie steeds aan die bestaande vereistes moet voldoen. Permitte vir beroepsbestuurders sal ook steeds vir twee jaar geldig wees. Die minister in die Presidensie, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, sê die verandering stem ooreen met internasionale gebruike:

From 07/29 Hour 3: EB tells The Sports Junkies that he's still stunned about the brutal rejection he suffered yesterday.

This week on Tapod, we catch up with Matthew Lant – Head of Recruitment and Employer Brand at AFCA, and David Macciocca – Founder & CEO at VideoMy. We dig deep on the AFCA-nites ambassador program, and it's a ripping example of how an EB program comes to life. From targeting specific candidate profiles to telling stories via real internal employees, the results are amazingly successful. We look at the partnership between AFCA and VideoMy and how that generated results that resonated all the way up to the C-suite. In a world where we rely on third-party technology, AFCA now hires over half of their talent from channels they own themselves.Thanks to VideoMy for partnering with us for this episode. 

This week opens on sad news: Dick Knoebel, the iconic owner of Knoebels's Amusement Resort, has passed away. He was one of the true greats of the family-owned park world. Mike and EB share a piece of an interview they did with him back in 2006, on the midway in front of the Phoenix, and talk about why Knoebels still feels different from every other park in the country — and why that's exactly what he wanted. From there, the news picks up: Fury 325 at Carowinds is back up and running after the park caught a foundation issue on one of its support columns during a routine inspection. Holiday World is extending Friday Night Live hours and adding two brand-new fall operating dates in November. And Mike and EB spend a solid chunk of the show gawking at a Heritage Auctions listing selling off actual Disney park memorabilia — a customized Big Thunder Mountain bench going for over $10,000, a Tomorrowland trash can pushing $2,000, and a Twilight Zone Tower of Terror chandelier that might, weirdly, be the one item on the list actually worth the price. Then there's the story the guys can't stop speculating about: Silver Dollar City has pulled its mine-train coaster Thunderation to make way for what it's calling the largest investment in the park's history, wrapped in an elaborate in-universe press release about a fictional 1880s mining company "returning to work" beneath Marvel Cave. Given the ride's footprint sits right next to the park's real cave tour entrance, Mike and EB dig into what an actual underground attraction at Silver Dollar City could look like — and why the August 14th reveal might be the most interesting theme park announcement of the year. The back half is a trip report showcase: a live in-park report on the brand new Tormenta Rampaging Run at Six Flags Over Texas, a visit to a certain small, deranged-millionaire-built park in Georgia, Flying Fox at Kentucky Kingdom, a listener's 150th ride on Wrath at California's Great America, and a family day at Lake Winnepesaukah that ends with a first roller coaster credit for a very lucky three-year-old. Also, there's some 80's pop nostalgia that you won't want to miss.

Epidermolysis bullosa, or EB, is one of those diseases that stops you in your tracks the moment you understand it. Skin so fragile that the gentlest touch can cause blisters and open wounds. No cure. And for most of its history, very little serious drug development attention.That's where today's guest comes in. Martin Steiner is Managing Director of DEBRA Research, a non-profit organization with a single-minded mission: to make EB curable. But DEBRA Research isn't a lab. It doesn't run clinical trials or make drugs. What it does is something arguably harder: it builds the ecosystem that makes drug development possible. Funding research, investing in biotech companies, building shared infrastructure, and connecting the right people at the right time.And the results are starting to show. They have a growing portfolio of investments, dedicated clinical trial infrastructure, and a seat at the table in deals that are moving the needle for patients who have waited long enough.·  01:46 Meet Martin Steiner·  03:32 What is DEBRA Research·  04:55 What it means to live with EB ·  07:43 DEBRA Research's role in the drug development ecosystem ·  12:03 Why DEBRA Research invests in infrastructure ·  20:26 Why DEBRA Research makes equity investments in biotech ·  24:50 The Replay and LEO Pharma deal: how it came together ·  30:33 Obstacles to enabling collaboration in rare disease ·  34:50 Gene therapy and read-through molecules as therapeutic approaches ·  37:36 Is the DEBRA Research model replicable for other rare diseases Interested in being a sponsor of an episode of our podcast?

From 07/23 Hour 1: EB was sizzling up a steak last night when a salesman knocked on his door and distracted him for a couple of minutes.

Think that filing before September 30, 2026, guarantees smooth sailing to your green card? Not so fast.In this week's episode of Global Investment Voice, hosts Mona and Rebecca sit down to debunk the myths surrounding EB-5's grandfathering clause. The provision was born out of the chaos of 2021, when the regional center program lapsed overnight, leaving 32,000 investors and their families hanging with $15 billion in committed capital at stake.There are multiple dates circulating and here is what people are mixing up. September 30, 2026, is not when the program expires; that's 2027 and there is a separate clock ticking to lock in the current investment threshold. Most of all, grandfathering itself does not promise a green card. It promises adjudication.We walk through each myth one by one explaining exactly who the clause protects, and which investors don't even enter the conversation. The most important thing to remember amid the rush to the deadline is that one thing matters above all: A qualifying petition.If you have deadline anxiety or all the dates are running together, tune in as we separate fact from myth.

Rural hospitals are closing and patients are driving an hour or more for care, but one developer is betting a surgical institute in Chillicothe, Ohio can reverse that math.

Enjoyed this episode or the podcast in general? Send me a text message:Radar makes modern air defense possible. So what happens when you bring an aircraft whose whole job is to make radar lie, scream, or go blind at exactly the wrong moment? That is the EF-111A Raven, a Mach 2-plus tactical jamming jet with zero weapons on board and a reputation so strong that fighter pilots wanted it on their wing anyway. We walk through the Cold War problem set that created it: Soviet Ground Control Intercept, massive integrated air defense networks, and the hard realization that you cannot shoot every radar off the map. From the Vietnam-era EB-66 to the Air Force demand for a fast, survivable escort jammer, the story lands on an unlikely hero: the controversial F-111 Aardvark, rebuilt into the EF-111A with the ALQ-99E system, the distinctive canoe radome, and the tail “football” that lets it listen in every direction. Then we get practical. You will hear how tactical jamming actually works, why broadside geometry matters, how the two-ship “taco pattern” keeps a constant wall of noise on target, and why maintainers and calibration are as important as raw transmitter power. We also track the Raven's combat record from Libya to Panama to Operation Desert Storm, including the famous air-to-air victory credited without firing a shot, and we close with the uncomfortable question of what the Air Force lost when the Raven retired in 1998. If you enjoy military aviation history, electronic warfare, and the real mechanics of surviving contested airspace, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves jets, and leave a review.

Busch Gardens Tampa is closing Kumba, one of the most beloved B&M sit-down coasters ever built and the fourth-oldest operating B&M in the world, on August 2nd. Mike and EB spend the first drop giving a 33-year-old classic its proper send-off — the terrain-hugging layout, the iconic photo op under the corkscrew, the fact that it opened the same year Mike graduated high school — before digging into what "Kumba's Revenge" and a $100 million investment might mean for the space it leaves behind. From there, the news gets genuinely interesting: a strong rumor that Disney World's Space Mountain could get fully gutted and rebuilt from the inside out (with the guys making the case for why the purists are wrong this time), a D23 session themed to the Carousel of Progress that's being hosted by none other than Coaster Radio's own announcer, Neil Patrick Harris, and a reveal date for Six Flags Great Adventure's mysterious Project Purple — teased via a barnacle-covered shipping container reading "GVV," which may or may not stand for a name neither host can bring themselves to like. After the break, EB dives into a genuinely enormous care package from a listener packed with park maps, hats, collectible coins, and ceramic bourbon poker chips, before the two get into the show's real centerpiece this week: BlooLoop's list of the 26 best theme park attractions in the world. It's a sprawling, hotly contested countdown spanning six continents' worth of dark rides, and Mike and EB don't hold back — disagreeing hard on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, defending Pirates of the Caribbean's 60-year-old technology, and debating whether a ride that's been open for a matter of months deserves to be crowned the single best attraction on the planet.

From 07/16 Hour 3: EB has so many questions about this popular workout program that's recently blown up. Would any of the Junkies ever attend a pilates class?

Bruce and Eb are joined by Mayor Jon Post and Chris King to discuss the upcoming election.

From 07/14 Hour 1: EB can't get enough of this viral social media video and wants everyone to see if it's as funny as he thinks.

From 07/14 Hour 4: The light bulb goes off in EB's head and he attempts to persuade the other Junkies to join him on his new investment.

From 07/13 Hour 4: EB hosts his daily segment where the guys go around the world of Hollywood and react to some wild storylines.

In this massive episode of the Vookcast, Ollie, Luke, Angelo, and Michael are back to discuss all of the nonsense going on in the games industry in the year 2026. We discuss the upcoming revision for the Switch 2 in Europe, Mario Karts of various natures, and the future of Takashi Tezuka at Nintendo — thankfully, he's sticking around. We also discuss EB Games and its completely bonkers "strategy" surrounding the 30th Anniversary Pokémon TCG product, as well as major bad news out of PlayStation and Xbox and what it means for Nintendo and the industry at large.There's no 20 Questions this time, but be sure to tune in next time, too, for Luke's undoubtedly impossible game.Relevant storiesBatteries: https://www.vooks.net/nintendo-announces-revised-switch-2-and-accessories-with-user-replaceable-batteries-for-europe/MK Tour: https://www.vooks.net/mario-kart-tour-coming-to-an-end-on-september-30th/MK World: https://www.vooks.net/mario-kart-worlds-latest-update-adds-more-knockout-tour-routes-many-more-changes/Takashi Tezuka: https://www.vooks.net/takashi-tezuka-reflects-on-career-will-remain-producer-at-nintendo/The Crew: https://www.vooks.net/the-crew-motorfest-races-onto-switch-2-on-october-8/Onimusha: https://www.vooks.net/onimusha-way-of-the-sword-release-date-moved-up-to-avoid-september-bloodbath/Oblivion: https://www.vooks.net/the-elder-scrolls-iv-oblivion-remastered-on-switch-2-hits-august-full-game-on-card/Lego: https://www.vooks.net/new-lego-pokemon-sets-announced-including-first-minifigure-pokemon/NSO: https://www.vooks.net/wario-land-sword-of-hope-and-puzzle-league-join-nintendo-classics/EB weirdness: https://www.vooks.net/eb-games-not-offering-online-preorders-for-fire-emblem-fortunes-weave-and-other-nintendo-titles/More EB weirdness: https://www.vooks.net/eb-games-says-doubled-30th-anniversary-pokemon-tcg-pricing-was-a-planned-tactic-to-weed-out-scalpers/PlayStation: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/physical-disc-production-ending-in-january-2028-for-new-games-releasing-on-playstation-consoles/Xbox: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/07/06/resetting-xbox/Send us Fan MailSupport the showSocialsOllie:  @chocobalt on Bluesky Luke: @renderman7 on BlueskyAngelo: @manjell0 on BlueskyMichael: @subelement on BlueskyFind Vooks on social media, support the show and buy merch.

Belgium 0-1-ről még egyenlített, de Courtois sérülését már nem bírta el, Mikel Merino újra csereként beállva szerzett győztes gólt. Megismétlődik a 2024-es Eb elődöntője a világbajnokság legjobb négy csapata között. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Six Flags Over Texas finally "drops the gate" on Tormenta: Rampaging Run, the massive new B&M dive coaster, and the early word is exactly what you'd hope: no rattle, great reviews. Mike and EB break down what a park gets right when a new ride opens with an entire refurbished plaza around it, and whether "biggest dive coaster yet" actually means anything anymore to hardcore enthusiasts who've done this exact ride four times already. Then it's a packed news round covering a genuinely incredible Universal exhibition at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia (with a Star Wars follow-up already announced for the park's 50th anniversary), Universal Orlando's new after-hours "Universal Nights" event at Epic Universe going head-to-head with Halloween Horror Nights, and Disneyland officially welcoming its one billionth guest. That last one gets the full Coaster Radio treatment: an "exclusive" behind-the-scenes report from the Billionth Guest Command Center, featuring the triumphant return of Disney Podcast Guy, whose live-streamed quest for billionth-guest glory ends about as well as you'd expect. After the break: a trip report from two listeners who flew from Houston to Atlanta for one last ride on Arie Force One before it's gone, plus fresh chatter about whether RMC floating the idea of relocating the coaster means anything (spoiler: not until someone signs a check). Then the second half of the show is all yours — this week's interactive topic asked listeners which park has changed the most, for better or worse, over the last 20 years, and the answers cover Disney California Adventure's total reinvention, Dollywood's coaster boom, Carowinds' rise from unknown local park to must-visit and Hersheypark's transformation into a real destination.

Bruce and Eb are joined by three-time Pulitzer Prize nominee and longtime Rolling Stone editor Randall Sullivan to discuss his bestselling book, The First All-Star Game. Famous for his investigative deep-dives like LAbyrinth and The Miracle Detective, Randall shares the gripping history of how baseball, politics, and the Great Depression collided in the summer of 1933.

Big Wednesday! Wake Up, then Inside Track with Bruce and Eb! Wake Up guest today: Rio Van Zant, Willie Horton and Daryl Mallett talking about the film industry and the problem/opportunity of Old Tucson plus Libertarian Hour with Dru Heaton and Terra Radliff. Stories: My discussion with a DSA who works for LUCHA, Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) chronic absenteeism problems continue the usual TUSD problem + The GOP's Self-Inflicted Midterm Crisis

From 07/06 Hour 1: The Sports Junkies react to EB's hilarious encounter with this former DC athlete.

Sometimes the roller coaster world hands you a story so absurd you don't even need a punchline — you just need to read the facts out loud. This week on Coaster Radio, the original theme park podcast, Mike and EB dig into the sudden, bulldozer-bound death of one of the best roller coasters in America: Fun Spot Atlanta is closing on August 2nd, taking Arie Force One — an RMC hybrid barely four years old that regularly cracks top-five lists nationwide — down with it. No, it's not relocating. No, someone can't just "cut out the footprint" and paste it into their backyard. This thing is probably headed straight for the scrapyard, and the guys break down what made this coaster great and if there's any hope at all of it being saved.   From there, it's a genuinely stacked news week (there were two episodes' worth of stories backed up, and it shows): a viral video of a kid tumbling out of Disneyland's Tiana's Bayou Adventure that had half the internet convinced it was AI-generated, Pirates of the Caribbean's brand-new projection-mapped skeleton animatronic (and a pretty compelling argument for where Imagineering should have actually put it), Holiday World's all-American 2027 addition Cannonball — a family water coaster that splashes straight into a themed community pool — and a deep dive into the very mixed reviews rolling in from Universal's newly opened Kids Resort in Texas.   After the break: Six Flags Over Texas delays Tormenta, Cedar Point is selling literal chunks of Magnum XL-200 track for $300 a slice (and they're already sold out), Halloween Horror Nights brings Hellraiser to Hollywood and Orlando, Six Flags Great Adventure unveils its boardwalk-themed Shoreline Pier, and Knott's Berry Farm's long-dead Montezuma the Forbidden Fortress is back and testing with a powerful launch. And because it's the Fourth of July, the show closes out with the 20th-ish annual Coaster Radio tradition: the Sparktacular Explosaloosa, live from EB's back deck — now with video.

During the 2026 Employee Benefits Leadership Forum in May, the outgoing chair of The Council of Employee Benefits Executives (CEBE), Lisa Hawker, sat down with Kerry Finnegan, former senior partner at Mercer and also a past CEBE board chair, now a senior advisor at Oliver Wyman. CEBE is the executive committee that guides The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers government affairs team in benefits-related advocacy and policy decisions. The two discussed a range of topics, including the changing role of the benefits broker and the plan sponsor in an environment of increased fiduciary duty, talent and training in the AI era, and advice for new CEBE Chair Ken Olson, vice president of EB growth at BroadStreet Partners.

The guys are on vacation, but the show must go on! We recorded this listener question episode just before heading out, covering everything from the best back-to-back coaster combinations to which IP should come to the parks next, whether Disney would ever tear down the Matterhorn, and which rides sound way better than they actually are. Plus, EB shares two fun stories from a recent Kentucky Kingdom visit — including a station crew member who had absolutely had enough, and a Flying Fox scavenger hunt with a surprisingly solid prize.

Listen to a weird story of EB befriending an older lady Marcel, who would go to the dentist with him and go halfsies on a sportscar.

From 06/22 Hour 1: The Sports Junkies react to EB and JP's vacation.

What's better than a theme park podcast? A theme park podcast recorded while a tornado is actively threatening to rearrange EB's house. Welcome to another completely unhinged episode of Coaster Radio, where we somehow manage to discuss the future of Disney Imagineering, a legendary wooden coaster's potential comeback, and the glorious grit of America's boardwalk parks while EB monitors live storm tracking from his studio. We kick things off with some big news: Adobe has announced a collaboration with Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development to bring AI-powered pre-visualization tools to the theme park design pipeline. The idea is to take Imagineering's massive archive of concept art and accelerate the development process — from blue sky sketch to 3D model, faster than ever before. Sounds exciting, right? Well, EB has thoughts. A lot of them. Speaking of attractions, Hershey Park's legendary Tidal Force — one of the most spectacular splash zones in the history of boat rides — is closing after 32 years this September. Alabama Adventure is teasing a big announcement that fans hope means the long-dormant Rampage wooden coaster is finally coming back, possibly with RMC treatment. Universal Epic Universe is debuting a brand new nighttime spectacular called Celestial Goodnight featuring seven million LED lights and 350 fountains. And Dollywood's Night Flight Expedition has been pushed back to August — which opens the door for Holiday World, who appears to be announcing their single biggest investment ever on July 1st at 8:45 AM, and all signs point to a Mack rocking boat ride coming to Boulder Canyon in 2027. Then we pivot to the second half of the show — a full celebration of boardwalk parks and the beautiful, gritty, chaotic joy of beach amusement. Mike's heading to Ocean City, Maryland for vacation, and we take a loving tour of some of America's great seaside spots: the Santa Monica Pier, Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco (including a very generous offer of free tokens to Treasure Hunt), the New Jersey piers, Coney Island (which Mike has still never visited and yes, we're calling him out), and the terminally underrated Indiana Beach. We also go deep on mini golf — specifically, how much a well-themed mini golf course with animatronics slaps, and why the card-swipe ticket system is a crime against childhood nostalgia. And yes, there's a million-dollar mini golf course for sale in EB's town if anyone's interested.
