Are you team high-speed thrills, or team classic dark ride? In this episode of Ray Talks Live, we are stepping out of the classroom and stepping into the standby line. Living in South Florida means we have the theme park capital of the world right in our backyard, and today, I’m dropping my official Top 10 list of the best rides at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort.

From the relentless speed of the latest roller coasters to the laid-back, nostalgic classics that bring back the magic of the 80s and 90s, no attraction is off-limits. I’m breaking down the storytelling, the thrills, and the sheer fun of my absolute favorites. Listen in as I count them down, and then it’s your turn: Did I miss a masterpiece? Did an overrated ride make the cut? Check out my list, and then hit the comments to tell me your Top 10!

Does your AP walk into your room to give you a hand or to catch you off guard?

In this episode of Ray Talks Live, we’re diving into the complex relationship between teachers and their Subject Area Assistant Principals. After 20 years in the classroom, I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum: the leaders who provide actual resources and check in because they care, and the "I Gotcha" crowd who have plenty of critiques but zero support to offer.

I’m getting candid about my own experiences—the good, the bad, and the indifferent. We discuss why a lack of support isn't just an administrative failing, but a drain on the entire department. Join me as we explore what "real support" looks like in 2026 and how to stay professional when your leadership is, shall we say, less than flattering.

Is there a better time to be a sports fan than right now?

In this episode of Ray Talks Live, we’re celebrating the peak of the spring sports calendar. The brackets are busted, the Final Four is set, and the "Cinderella" stories are still giving us chills. But that’s just the beginning—Major League Baseball is officially back! We’re talking about the magic of Opening Week and whether the long 162-game grind still holds that same allure for fans in 2026.

Plus, with the NBA and NHL seasons winding down, every game is starting to feel like a Game 7. We’re checking the pulse of the playoff races and discussing how we manage to keep our blood pressure down until the "King"—football—makes its triumphant return in August. Whether you’re checking your parlay or your box scores, join me for a deep dive into the best time of the year for sports.
