This holiday week episode of the Epic Universal Podcast was recorded on Christmas Eve, which means Jim and Eric are juggling last minute shopping, customer service horror stories, and a surprisingly full slate of Universal news. From attractions closing sooner than expected to permits hinting at big changes in Islands of Adventure, this show looks both at what is ending and what might be coming next. They also zoom way out, from Epic Universe's nighttime ambitions to the possibility of Universal's next global park landing in a very hot climate. NEWS • The Horror Make-Up Show at Universal Studios Florida is officially closing January 4, with speculation swirling about what kind of reimagined experience might replace it. • New permits tied to Intamin suggest real movement in the Lost Continent area at Islands of Adventure, fueling renewed talk of a possible Legend of Zelda attraction. • Universal files trademarks for Celestial Goodnight, pointing strongly toward a nighttime spectacular at Epic Universe. • Ongoing guest surveys hint that a FanFest-style separately ticketed event could be headed to Universal Orlando, featuring IPs like Lord of the Rings, Pokémon, Godzilla, and K-Pop Demon Hunters. • Universal is reviewing bids for a long-term transportation system connecting Epic Universe with the original Universal Orlando campus. FEATURE • A Wall Street Journal report revives talk of a Universal Studios park in Saudi Arabia, likely financed by the Saudi government through a licensing deal. • How this potential project echoes past international ventures like Dubailand, including what went wrong and what Universal may have learned. • Why indoor, climate-controlled parks are the only viable model for the region and how this mirrors Disney's recent Middle East strategy. • What all of this says about Universal's future, from regional parks like Universal Kids Resort to massive international expansions.

Hello there and Merry HISSmas! Welcome to Professor Jacob's 249th lesson on Pokémon biology. For today's class, we will be discussing Lugia: the Diving Pokémon. But it is also known by its much cooler title: the Guardian of the Seas! This legendary Pokémon is said to spend its time deep at the bottom of the ocean, shielding the world from its incredible power. With power so great, Lugia has been said to cause a 40-day storm by simply flapping its wings. However, Lugia is also known to calm raging storms. It giveth and it taketh away. It brings the storm, then calms it. The Master of the Tides, the Lord of Storms, the Guardian of the Seas. Grab your HISSmas stocking and notebook because it's time to learn about Lugia!►Support the Professor's class on Patreon:⁠ ⁠patreon.com/wwopokemon⁠⁠►Join our Discord:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://discord.gg/Jc5P2Mk6Ru⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Other Social Media:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://linktr.ee/wwopokemon

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

It all comes together in the final episode of our Pokémon Legends Z-A mini-series! In this episode, we break down the biggest boss fights, dive deep into the full story and character arcs, and react to the brand-new Mega Evolutions revealed throughout the game.We discuss which boss battles delivered the most hype, how the rivals and supporting cast shaped the story, and whether the new Megas feel balanced, overpowered, or game-changing. Finally, we give our final verdict on whether Pokémon Legends Z-A truly lives up to its legacy and sets the standard for future Pokémon games.

Charlie and Miles have ‘gifted' each other episodes of Star Trek to talk about, both good and bad. The problem with being casual about Star Trek is you just don't know all of what's out there. That's what the Casual Trek mission is for, after all. This year the gang are doing something different, talking about a film that's adjacent to Star Trek, and even some Trek actors say is the best Star Trek movie: Galaxy Quest. They've even got guest stars Reanna Reid-Lobatto and Sean Corse from off of the Famicom Dojo joining the festivities.So sit by the fire, get a nice drink and listen to some nerds getting rabid about a fun film, even if it has Tim Allen in it. 0:03:47 - What Non-Star Trek/non-Galaxy Quest Thing We've Been Enjoying: Pokémon Legends ZA, Taskmaster, 0:21:49 - Galaxy Quest Preamble0:33:12 - Galaxy Quest Recap0:54:51 - Thoughts on the movieTalking points include: The Mojoverse, the Junkions, chilli, needing to cuddle a Pokémon, Detective Pikachu, Pokémon Legends ZA, John Pertwee's Doctor Who episodes, conventions, Thought Bubble, Sean learning about names from the UK, Westlife, Santana, Chat Out of Hell's Westlife episode, Charlie's musical knowledge comes from Rock Band, Miles' anecdote about how he saw Galaxy Quest (funny, charming), Charlie's anecdote about watching Pokémon: The Movie (thankfully short, of questionable legal status).

Hello, everyone! This is Episode 40 of "The Show 6 Podcast", where we bring you the highest quality coverage of the Play! Pokémon Championship Series for Pokémon GO! We explore the plays, the players, and everything else happening in the competitive scene.Welcome in to the Show 6 Podcast, where we break down the Championship Series for Pokémon GO. Today, we're recording our last episode of the year. We'll be covering Buenos Aires, Las Vegas, Stuttgart, and LAIC. In Buenos Aires, LNDsAureo rose from the Loser's Side bracket with his MVP Shadow Kanto Marowak alongside Charjabug and Jellicent to win it all in Buenos Aires. In Las Vegas, Doonebug and his Talonflame folded to Reis2Occasion in the Winners Finals, but went on a heater to reach the grand finals, where he then hit back to back series wins to take the Gold. In Stuttgart, Inadequanec dressed as Team Galactic's Cyrus summoned the titan of the Distortion World, Shadow Giratina Altered, and mercilessly crushed the bracket. Finally, at LAIC, NiteTimeClasher's Metang and Dewgong ascended through the bracket, and culminated in an epic clash with P4T0M4N. NTC would not be denied, as he bounced back from a reverse sweep to win the Grand Finals reset.In this episode, we'll review the players, the Pokémon, and the epic storylines of these 4 events. We'll also discuss GO Battle League's new Interlude season, what we expect to see in Toronto, and a sneak peek at the EUIC limited meta. That, and so much more.So, if you're ready... go ahead and lock In, and good luck, have fun!

Lured Up Podcast 376: A Ticket For Every Event Live Streamed on - 12/16/25 Publish Date - 12/19/25 The game is overrun with costume Pokémon which has to mean that the Holiday Season is upon us! Are you Team Sudowoodo or Team Charjabug? One thing is for sure, we know Adam will be out catching every Delibird he can find! With two weeks of Holiday events ahead of us, we start things off with a recap of the last week of gameplay including Well Armed, GMAX Snorlax, and Citi Safari events. With the Well Armed's Global Challenges powering extra Candy XL for GMAX Snorlax, Trainers had good reason to get out there and grind over the last week. The Holiday events kicked off this week and brought a GO Pass along with it, but the rewards may not be the strongest this time around. Will a Snom Beanie be enough to sell the GO Pass? We don't think so but Trainers may be in it more for the process at this point. Part 2 of the Holiday Event picks up on Christmas Eve and brings back some past costume Pokémon as well as the debut of the Rolycoly line. The Winter Weekend mini-event opens the GO Pass progression up and adds a Timed Research as well. While Niantic hasn't shared the January Content Update yet, they are giving us plenty of event blogs to get us excited. Of course we will have a New Year's event which will bring back some popular costume Pokémon and some fancy avatar boots to boot. Grookey has been announced as the first Community Day Pokémon of the new year, while Piplup will show up during Community Day Classic. If that wasn't enough of a January preview for you, Kyurem Fusion Raid Day is also on the docket, which will will surely be a strong IRL and remote event. We wrap things up with a discussion about the state of the game, and how even with some performance issues like crashes and dropped frames, the game overall is in a really good state. Trainers have tons of options of how to spend their game time, with multiple mechanics taking Trainers down different types of experiences. One thing we have noticed, is that with increased item and Pokémon storage available, inventory maintenance has become a long and monotonous task that takes up a lot of our valuable screen time.

Why do high-achievers feel perpetually behind, even while consuming more content than ever? In this conversation, Pat Flynn explains the trap of “overlearning” and how it quietly keeps us stuck in motion without progress. You'll learn how to shift from “just-in-case” learning to “just-in-time” learning, create real momentum with a simple four-step framework, and protect what matters most with practical boundaries. Along the way, Pat shares how these principles helped him build multiple successful businesses (including a Pokémon channel with millions of followers) without sacrificing his family, health, or joy.Memorable Quotes“We all, in a way, are not just our overlearning, but we're getting over-inspired. We're so connected with so many amazing people out there who teach us this and push us over here, and then we're pulled over this way. We're spread so thin it's we're we're not seeing any results in our own life.”“Now we all have access to all the same kind of information, but we're still treating it as if it's scarce…However, we now live in a buffet line of information… and we're not quite evolved to absorb all of this because we're stuffing our plates full. Not only are we getting bloated and and and slowed down, but we're also getting force-fed on these platforms.”“This is the difference between ‘just-in-case learning,' which is what we've all been doing, and ‘just-in-time learning,' which is learning what you need to know to just take that next step. Because truly the action of taking that next step, the results of that one way or another—whether there are good results or bad results—can teach you so much more than just absorbing this information and never taking any action at all.” “[Silence] allows me to be with myself and to digest the things that I've already learned, to think about my priorities and the things I've already committed to. It allows me to make creative connections between things that I have already picked up instead of just getting more puzzle pieces to try to figure out where they go.”“I mean I was always taught that again, ‘The more you know the more successful you'll be,' and there's always seemingly opportunities to inject more of that learning. And it has this sort of fake productivity that goes along with it, because it is only truly productive, in my opinion, when you actually put into action those things that you do read or listen to or watch.”“At our authors retreat, a theme across most of the people there was not optimizing for revenue, not optimizing for scale, but optimizing for peace. And that was huge to think about.”“If I give myself five months to learn, I'm gonna take five months to learn it. If I give myself five hours to learn, I'm gonna take five hours to learn it. So I almost use time as a tool to help me get to the point of action and then understanding sooner.”“I've developed this rule called the 20% Itch Rule, and that is, out of all the things you do, 80% of your time is dedicated to the things you've already committed to, the things that, the responsibilities you have, the things that you've already said, yes to. The last 20% of time, allocate for curiosity, for play, for experimentation.”Key TakeawaysOverlearning Is a Hidden Productivity Trap. Constant consumption creates a sense of progress without producing results—and often adds more “to-dos” than your life can hold.Shift from “Just-in-Case” to “Just-in-Time.” Learn only what you need for the next step, then take action. Real learning accelerates through doing.Use the 4-Step Lean Learning Cycle. Identify the next step → choose one resource → implement → review. Repeat.Silence Helps You Digest What You Already Know. Pat's “silent car” habit creates space for integration, creativity, and clarity.Watch for “Junk Sparks.” Many ideas are just distractions dressed up as opportunity—especially when algorithms reduce the friction to buy, click, or binge.Try the “20% Itch Rule.” Dedicate 80% of your time to current commitments and responsibilities, and reserve 20% for curiosity, experimentation, and play—without blowing up your life.Optimize for Peace, Not Scale. More revenue isn't always worth the hidden cost. A Double Win means there's still room for what makes you feel most alive.ResourcesSmart Passive Income (Pat's Business)Superfans (Book)Lean Learning (Book)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/aLp6hHTrYQsThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob's 248th lesson on Pokémon biology. This lesson is all about Tyranitar: the Armor Pokémon and final evolved form of Larvitar. This extremely strong rock and dark type is powerful enough to change the landscape. With just one hand, Tyranitar has the power to make mountains crumble. And having that level of power combined with an insolent nature makes Tyranitar a recipe for pure destruction. It's a good thing we don't have one with us in today's lesson at the Hoenn International Space Station, right? That'd be really bad. But there's much more to learn about Tyranitar, so take good notes!►Support the Professor's class on Patreon:⁠ ⁠patreon.com/wwopokemon⁠⁠►Join our Discord:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://discord.gg/Jc5P2Mk6Ru⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Other Social Media:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://linktr.ee/wwopokemon

Paul Bunkowske: A New Chapter Shaped by Collecting and CommunityIn this heartfelt episode of the Get Deep Podcast, we sit down with Paul Bunkowske—the founder of Bunk's Card Corner, Mankato's go-to destination for sports cards, Pokémon, Disney memorabilia, and more. Paul shares his honest and powerful journey from struggling with alcoholism to finding purpose and community through sobriety. Recovery was not the end of the story—it became the starting point for purpose, community, and a new direction. That path eventually led him into the world of trading cards and to launching his own business.Paul opens up about his early years selling cars across the Midwest, his lifelong love of sports, and how that passion became the fuel behind Bunk's Card Corner. What started as a personal interest grew into a retail and wholesale operation that has become a hub for collectors, hobbyists, and fans of all ages.Now, Paul is preparing to open a brand-new storefront next to Crumbl Cookies off Adams Street in Mankato. The space will be Minnesota's largest dedicated trading card retail location and the central home for his growing wholesale business—exciting news for the local collecting community and for small business in Southern Minnesota.Tune in for a raw, honest, and uplifting conversation about recovery, the joy and obsession of collecting, and what it takes to turn passion into purpose—and a business that brings people together every day.

The hour wraps with an unbelievable heist out of Woodland Hills, where thieves tunneled into a shop and stole $30,000 worth of Pokémon and sports trading cards — proving that nothing, not even underground walls, is off-limits anymore.

Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this rousing live edition, Tom Bilyeu is joined by Drew and Mason as they dive deep into the current social, economic, and political landscape.

Mike and Jesse are back and are joined by attorney Paul Lesko who dissects the Panini-Fanatics antitrust lawsuit, revealing a major conflict: Panini is risking its own court credibility by showing potential buyers documents that claim their unlicensed products can outperform licensed ones, directly contradicting their courtroom defense. He also touches on the related Wild Card lawsuit, where Panini is accused of threatening distributors who worked with Wild Card. Separately, the Nikola Jokic card market is poised for growth as the star is officially signing with Topps. Plus, the guys debate which NFL quarterbacks to buy now and flip before the Super Bowl. Mike argues for Matthew Stafford, who is quietly building an unbelievable Hall of Fame resume, ranking top-10 all-time in major passing stats and is currently a top MVP candidate alongside Drake Maye. The ultimate market wild card is 44-year-old Philip Rivers who is joining the Colts' practice squad and could end up starting for them this season. In the baseball world, it's free agency time and Mike vents about the Red Sox refusing to sign big free agents, like Pete Alonso, despite the team's need for a power bat. Are young Orioles stars like Adley Rutschman and Gunner Henderson sneaky good value buys right now? The episode concludes with a look at the enduring cultural power of Pokémon cards among modern athletes and the high sale prices of crossover collectibles. Plus, upcoming card releases the guys will be breaking over the next few days. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
