Just Some BS
Welcome to Just Some BS—the podcast for high-potential humans trying to figure it out without pretending they’ve got it all together.
Hosted by Brandon, this is where personal growth meets real talk, career chaos meets clarity, and leadership lessons are served with a side of sarcasm.
Each episode is part journal, part pep talk, part “did they just say that?”
Expect stories from the trenches of work and life, honest reflections, and the kind of insights you’d only get from someone who’s been through the BS and decided to podcast about it.
If you're into ambition, awkwardness, and a little bit of absurdity—you’re home.
New episodes every Tuesday.
Stay weird.

Epic Universe Unpacked: Helios Hotel Hacks, Ride Strategy & Food Wins with Hank from Outer Rim Travels
Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe is finally open—and travel-planner extraordinaire Hank (“Hank’s Travels” / Outer Rim Travels) just spent opening week inside the gates. If you’re eyeing the park (or already booked for later this year), this episode is your all-killer, no-filler playbook.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
- Helios Grand Hotel advantages—private entrance, 1-hour early entry, and why a “park-view” room is worth it even if the décor feels standard.
- How to beat three-hour waits by tackling the non-Express attractions first (Donkey Kong Mine-Cart Madness, Dragon Racer’s Rally) and letting Battle for the Ministry calm down mid-day.
- Night-mode secrets: why Dark Universe flips from “cool” to “jaw-dropping” after sunset—fog, red-glow lighting, and all.
- Hank’s top-3 rides (Monsters Unchained, Hiccup’s Wing Gliders, Battle for the Ministry)—and what makes each a must.
- The surprise MVP foods: pulled-pork mac-&-cheese cone, Super Nintendo mushroom soup, Dark Universe garlic steak pretzel.
- Power-Up Band 2.0—why the $50 wristband turns Super Nintendo World into a real-life level-up game.
- Express-Pass math: when the $180–$300 add-on is a no-brainer… and when it’s a waste.
- Two-day itinerary blueprint: front-half (Super Nintendo World + How to Train Your Dragon) vs. back-half (Wizarding Paris + Dark Universe) for max immersion.
Whether you’re planning a once-in-a-decade vacation or a quick research run before Epic Universe crowds spike, Hank’s first-hand intel will save you hours—and probably hundreds—before you ever scan your ticket.
