NFSCD -- Brian Wilson and Winemaster Richard Arrowood S2 Ep. 47

Image
  Cheers! It's our First Annual Holiday Pod! Special Guest, Richard Arrowood, Award-Winning Grape Stomper and Wine Master! Everything about Best Holiday Wines for Turkey, Prime Rib, Spam and other stocking stuffers! Listen HERE Richard Arrowood  is an iconic winemaster who has been making wine exclusively in Sonoma County for more than for 50+ years. From 1974 through 1990, he created the wines for Chateau St. Jean, where he developed some of the first vineyard-designate Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon produced in Sonoma County. He and his wife, Alis, founded Arrowood Winery with the 1985 vintage.  Richard was the winemaster at Arrowood Winery until June 2010, when he resigned his position to devote himself full-time to making wines for his estate winery,  Amapola Creek Vineyards and Winery. Brian Wilson  is a nationally-known radio and television host, author, speaker, and consultant with more than 50 years experience in media as host, News/Program Director, and Owner. His perio

Government to the Rescue!

Image
Doesn't it warm the cockles of your heart knowing, seeing, hearing how the Government - Media Complex protects your tender, child-like self – and your loved ones – from certain words that could traumatize all of you right into your own Rubber Room on the Funny Farm? Take the semi-ignored story about Joe Biden responding to comments from David Axlerod . Spotlighting Biden's age as something deserving serious consideration of his re-election decision, the president responded c alling Axelrod “a prick” . If you are among the few who actually saw/heard that story, you would have seen it as ****k or heard it as “BLEEP”. How would the MSM report “While stashing more classified files behind his Corvette in his garage, the President accidentally pricked his finger.”? I thought we resolved this decades ago, thanks to George Carlin's “Seven Words” monologue. For Gen-Whatevers and other groups who maintain no history existed prior to their birth circa 1990, here's a link to a sh

The Axis of Holidays

Image
What does the Thanksgiving – Christmas Axis of Holidays have in common with Plato’s Allegory of the Cave ? Weird, I know. It’s the only comparison that describes my reaction to the stories abounding, telling how this holiday season “Over 30% of Gen Z participants said they’ll be celebrating with friends to avoid family drama this year.” ( Preplay )( Newsweek ). There are other polls and pieces about other Gen- Somethings doing almost anything else to avoid “family”, what B-Boomers would refer to as ‘traditional’. Is this really happening? Where have I been? In previous Substack gems, I forthrightly revealed my generally reclusive, isolated, Luddite-like lifestyle over the last 25 years. While I never found the Ultimate Cave, ‘off the grid’ with sufficient ‘comforts’ to sustain someone not advancing on a New Youth, rural settings were sufficient for the days. Avoiding the professional social world and whirl was an occupational side-effect. After 50+ years in ‘show biz’, peace and quiet

Mystery of Human Behavior Explained

Image
There seems to be two distinct evolutionary variations of human beings emerging, not differences in physicality or intelligence but a psychological difference, a distinct fork in the human evolutionary road too profound to be attributed to simple cultural or generational differences. One variation that is emotionally driven and one that is rationally driven. These aren't matters of maturity or ignorance like we so often want to believe but an actual evolutionary variation in people's psychology where either emotions or rational is the predominant psychological driving force in one's life. The emotional variation, E-type, is characterized by a lack of mental attention, consistency, curiosity, courage, and effort resulting in irrationality, gullibility, and emotionalism. E-types value feelings above all else. They tend to suffer more from emotional problems such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and emotional volatility. They tend to be more creative, artistic, loving a

Get More Tank

Image
  Here's something different...! Buddy I worked with for several years turned me on to this. He and some friends have developed a new additive that makes gas and diesel fuel burn more efficiently. Result: more MPG in the family wagon.  So he said... Skeptic that I am, I told him I'd check it out. If it worked, I'd post something about it here. I gave it a try in my wife's Highlander and my Tundra.  Whaddaya know!? It works!  19 to 24MPG - Highlander 16 to 21MPG - Tundra City and highway, up hill, down hill, even hauling the trailer with the Tundra a couple times. Get More Tank - A fuel additive tablet with a clunky name and ingredients that add miles to every tank. Get more MPG-Save large bucks.  With gas prices defying gravity, this is a good deal - assuming you think  saving $$$ is a good thing.  Get More Tank works for cars, trucks, boats. motorcycles, ATVs. leaf blowers - if it has an engine... Get More Tank. So here's the deal:  There's an introductory pri

Tragedy or Scandal?

Image
Which is worse? The Israel-Gaza debacle is the modern iteration of the chicken or the egg, the ultimate cul-de-sac argument with no conclusion, no exit. Fact, history, objective, subjective, political, religious, all thrown into the crucible that defines today's debate. The only way to win is to not play the game.

Not Necessarily the “News"

Image
If you watch ABCCBSNBCFOXCNNMSNBCFNPR for the News, you're making a big mistake – or, at least, falling victim to one of the biggest on-going scams in America. Any 'news' content is scant. Manipulation is the ultimate goal. Playing on your emotions has reached symphonic proportions.

Rinse, Repeat

Well...that didn't take long. President Biden set a land speed record for trotting old the Same Old Same Old on gun control right after Maine's mass murder momentarily became the MSM's lead story. If it weren't for the hostilities in Gaza, Lewiston, Maine would be the new center of the media universe. Of course, all the usual useless pandering was in the usual useless Biden “message”...'Once again our nation is in mourning...Jill and I are praying...I've directed my administration to provide...We'll be there every..”

The 'BOO' This Time

Image
A tad early for Halloween but perfectly punctual for predictable government skullduggery, Washington's perennial poster boy for obfuscated transparency and perpetual winner of the coveted “Equality in Enforcement” bronze cow patty, the smirking countenance of FBI Director Christopher Wray popped out of his bunker, flaunting the Government's dependable strategy for population manipulation: Fear.

If it walks like Hitler

 One of the Talking Heads actually made a good point recently: “If you saw Hitler, knowing the sheer evil he caused, wouldn't killing him be justified?” Brushing past the tedious tendency of some to parse hypotheticals, the obvious point is Hitler was evil and needed to be killed or executed; obviously, millions of soldiers and dollars were spent trying to accomplish that. So in today's political parlance, calling anyone a Racist is still an efficient way to silence anyone speaking in opposition to whatever point you were making; it's worked for a long time. But typical of the Loony Left, they overdid it. Eventually, everyone has become a Racist because the Woke folk have smeared everyone with that brush. There was nothing left to debate without triggering some snowflake in the audience; “Racist!” was the ultimate put-down until it wasn't. A new pejorative was needed to continue the attack on Free Speech, the First Amendment and all things Constitutional What could be m

Numb or Dumb?

Image
  Are Americans numb or dumb? The 'cognizant dissonance' explanation is rapidly becoming irrelevant; no one can explain it simply enough to be effectively understood by 'normal' Americans, dumbed-down products of a misnamed 'public education' system. Tragically, there are too many citizens too dumb to comprehend the depths of government's terrors past and present much less what it has in store for the future. Many of those who've made every effort to keep up – despite government's propensity for prevarication and the damp shroud covering real news by the MSM – have entered the early throes of sensory overload. The steady avalanche of bad news and increasing pressures of everyday life via inflation, job security, and burdens of insidious government regulatory mandates are creating a rapidly growing infection of contagious apathy rather than the virulent outrage it so richly deserves.  And needs. In the not-too-distant past, local, state and federal go

Short, Sweet and Sour

Image
  This piece will Short – which is Sweet – but you may find the message Sour. The War on Drugs is an unquestionable failure. Not unlike the America’s other never-ending wars. Also horribly expensive, wasteful, and tragic. Only Government itself has benefited by expanding its power, unconstitutionally overreaching into private lives and other countries. If Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness has any value to Americans anymore, ending this immoral, illegal, “War” is the only solution to the continuing suffering, damage and death that it produces. An increasing number of States legalizing marijuana is a good start. Not only has it eliminated freedom robing arrests for the petty crime of possessing or smoking a common weed, it has proven the world hasn’t come to an end as a result, part of the fear porn pushed by government’s early propaganda. Leaving the compelling arguments of the 9th and 10th Amendments aside, the logic of Free Will, Free Choice and Individual Responsibility shou
