Chase Peckham and the boys announce the rebranding of the Boost for Our Heroes Golf Classic to focus on colon cancer awareness in honor of his late wife, Keri Peckham. The tournament will raise money for the @ColonCancerCoalition and the @ColonClub to promote early onset colon cancer awareness. Chase discusses the importance of advocating for oneself and getting regular colonoscopies. He emphasizes that colon cancer is not as well-marketed as breast cancer but is becoming one of the largest cancer deaths in recent years mostly because it isn't found early enough.

Last night I attended the Poway City Council meeting. I have lots to talk about including Poway banning homeless encampments, the replacement of Barry Leonard, money in politics, and Life Time Fitness at The Farm. Plus, we discuss Archie Moore, San Diego Roads, Steve Garvey for CA Senate, Ed Franklin, and more. We will take your comments and questions in the San Diego Community Forum. It's Wednesday June 7, 2023. Here's what John Riley thinks: Poway City Council Observations I hadn't been to a city council meeting in a while. It was great hearing some of the issues hashed out by both public speakers and elected officials. As a podcaster, it was special meeting some folks that listen or watch my show. Nice to make those human connections. Poway chooses to replace Barry Leonard with an Appointment/Election Hybrid Poway has a history of appointing people to council to fill out a person's term. I figured this was the route they would take in replacing resigning councilmember Barry Leonard. The public was overwhelmingly for an election. Steve Vaus proposed a hybrid model. They will appoint someone with a pledge they will not run in the November 2024 election. Money in Poway Politics California's new SB1439 bill requires that elected officials recuse themselves from voting on issues that involve a donor that gave over $250. But $250 is the campaign donation limit for Poway. Does that mean SB1439 is moot in Poway? Or do indirect funds to PACs and non-profits count too? Life Time Fitness Update at The Farm in Poway The Poway City Council says they cannot do anything since there is no formal proposal before them. That's true. But locals know the developer's plan is to put in a Life Time Fitness center that likely violates the voter's will with Measure P. Mayor Vaus says there is a lot of misinformation swirling in social media. Is JRP part of the problem? LOL Poway Bans Homeless Encampments San Diego implemented a rule that authorities can remove homeless encampments if there is a shelter bed nearby. Now Poway has enacted a similar rule. After all, the San Diego homeless could end up in Poway. Archie Moore, Any Body Can Youth Foundation What a great fundraiser hosted by the ABC Youth Foundation for troubled youth. I attended a very well run and safe youth boxing match at St. Augustine High School. Bravo to the athletes, families and organizers that made this event possible. San Diego Finally Repairing Roads in Rancho Bernardo, Westwood The Witch Creek Fire was in 2007 but the damage to the roads has still not been resolved. The reconstruction has been over for some time, but then authorities had trouble coming up with the $5M to fund this project in the Westwood community of Rancho Bernardo. Why is it so hard to get local government officials to focus on their primary tasks? Steve Garvey for CA Senate? Former Dodger and Padre, Steve Garvey, is flirting with the idea of running for US Senate as a Republican. After his career ended in 1987, he considered running for senate, but his flirting with extramarital affairs derailed his political future. These days that's no longer a disqualifier. Ed Franklin Livestream Podcast, Tuesday June 13th at 7pm Join Ed and I as we discuss podcasting and a wide range of other topics. We'll take your questions and comments in the livestream. San Diego Community Forum We discuss San Diego roads, Cox Cable, cutting the cord, Carlsbad Gay Pride Flag, Highway 56, mass transit, electric vehicles, Poway politics and Rickey Henderson. Closing Quote From Chrissy on The Sopranos (not original author): “Fear knocked at the door. Faith answered.

We have a laundry list of topics to discuss in this John Riley Project episode. We will discuss the controversial vote in Carlsbad to ban flags, including the Gay Pride Flag. La Mesa tried this as well and got a different result. Carlsbad went a step further and banned prayer too. We'll also discuss San Diego Supervisor Jim Desmond, homelessness, housing subsidies, Rancho Bernardo sink hole, tattoos in Santee and cannabis in Lemon Grove. It's Wednesday May 24, 2023. Here's what John Riley thinks: The City of Carlsbad is Banning Gay Pride Flag on City Buildings The LGBTQ community is upset that the Gay Pride Flag cannot be presented on city buildings in Carlsbad. But what is the role of local government? Does the American flag already protect gay rights in the first place? No doubt this flies in the face of the woke agenda, but I think we should support equal rights for all, not special rights for this group and that group. Carlsbad Bans Prayer at City Meetings Why do some cities have invocations to start a city meeting? Is this a violation of the separation of church and state? While we're at it, why do they pledge allegiance to the flag before a meeting? I like this move by Carlsbad. San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond and Homelessness The County of San Diego wants to buy more hotels to house the homeless. After all, it's free money from Sacramento! Is this the solution to homelessness or are they just sweeping them under the rug? There are still mental health and addiction issues that need to be addressed. Tax the Rich to Subsidize San Diego Housing The idea is to tax large businesses on their payroll for employees earning $150,000+ per year. The money would go into a fund to subsidize housing for others. Would this solve the housing problem or just make matters worse? Taxing payroll will just increase demand when there is already not enough supply. It's not a solution. San Diego Housing Prices Continue to Increase Despite higher interest rates, housing prices are still going up. It's because there are not enough houses for sale. Until they start building more, we will continue to have a housing crisis making it really tough for first time home buyers. Rancho Bernardo Sink Hole There's a huge hole on Escala Drive in Rancho Bernardo. Why is it so hard to get this fixed quickly? The City of San Diego is trying to get emergency approval and pass environmental regulations. It's going to take over 2 months to fix it if we're lucky. Santee Allows More Tattoo Parlors Microblading is a hot trend to enhance eyebrows. The technique is like tattoos, and this is causing Santee to deregulate the rules in their city. Will this attract a bad element? Or is this just people pursuing their happiness? Lemon Grove Allows More Cannabis Dispensaries It's still illegal in El Cajon, but Lemon Grove is opening their economy for more cannabis dispensaries. But Lemon Grove has a serious revenue problem for their city coffers. Is this a move to free up their economy or just generate more tax dollars for the city? Looks like both. #lamesa #gaypride #LGBTQ #prayer #1A #carlsbad #SanDiego #homelessness #homeless #housingfirst #jimdesmond #ranchobernardo #lemongrove #santee #cannabis #tattoo #kusi #termlimits #TheFarm #LifetimeFitness JRP0320 Relevant Links: Carlsbad Bans Gay Pride Flag: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/north-county/carlsbad/story/2023-05-23/proposal-to-display-commemorative-flags-including-pride-flag-fails-in-carlsbad https://timesofsandiego.com/politics/2023/05/23/la-mesa-councilwomans-flag-ban-idea-shredded-by-pro-lgbtq-speakers-dies/ Carlsbad Bans Prayer at City Council Meetings https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/north-county/carlsbad/story/2023-05-17/no-more-prayers-for-carlsbad-city-council Jim Desmond: Housing First Objection to Solve Homelessness https://www.sandiegouniontribune.
SDGE wants to base their electricity prices on your personal income. How can they do that? Meanwhile, mass transit in CA is facing a huge fiscal cliff as ridership is way down and COVID relief money is drying up. It's as if all rationality has left the discussion in the economy. It's about feelings rather than reason. It's Wednesday, April 12, 2023. Here's what John Riley thinks: SDGE electricity rates based on your income level. SDGE plans to create a flat rate based on your income level, but with a lower variable rate based on usage. The plan is to offer income relief for low-income people and save money for big energy users. Wait, what? I thought they wanted us to conserve. I think it's a scheme to generate more revenue in response to the vast number of customers that are signing up for solar energy. California Mass Transit – Fiscal Cliff! Is mass transit the right long-term answer for California? Ridership numbers are down and govt subsidies are drying up. How are they going to pay for this? Colorado River Water Rationing coming soon. If the states can't work out an agreement, then the federal government will step in and decide for them. There's not enough water coming down the Colorado River to satisfy a growing population. Conservation isn't the answer. Humans need to manufacture, recycle, capture, and store their drinking water. La Mesa Vice Mayor Colin Parent running for State Assembly More fall out from the Nathan Fletcher scandal. Politicians are shifting and capitalizing on opportunities. Now Colin Parent announces a run for State Assembly. Parent is an advocate for mass transit, affordable housing, and safe, walkable neighborhoods. County of San Diego provides “surplus property” for the Homeless If you really think about it, homelessness is the result of government policies that limit housing growth, prevent high rises, and prevent evictions. And don't get me started on PTSD caused by politicians sending American troops into immoral wars. In a refreshing change, here is a short term solution to help get homeless people off the streets and into safe accommodations. These are govt buildings that are no longer used. UCSD and SDSU Students protest banning homeless encampments. Mustard Seed Project students are advocating for humane solutions to help the homeless. But are their feel-good ideas preventing us from getting to a solution? UCSD Chancellor gets $500,000 raise. Pradeep Khosla was considering a higher paying university job elsewhere, so the UC Board of Regents stepped up to give him a $500,000 raise to keep him. The money is coming from wealthy donors that want to see his leadership continue at UC San Diego. Palomar Health Nurses to get a $100,000 retention bonus. Looking for a secure job with good pay and benefits? Consider nursing. There is a bidding war for nurses in San Diego as Kaiser Permanente prepares to open a new hospital in San Marcos. Palomar Health is fighting hard to prevent their nurses from jumping ship. Low Riders Rejoice! Cruising ban lifted in National City National City passed legislation to make cruising legal again. The Low Rider community is overjoyed as they can celebrate art, culture, and family in their community. This is the United States of America. How can life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness be illegal in the first place? Poway School Bond already cost us $1 Billion. In a Letter to the Editor at Pomerado News, Poway resident calls out Marian Kim-Phelps' plan for a school bond when we haven't even started paying for the last Billion Dollar Bond. Rancho Bernardo is getting a Cannabis Dispensary Despite local objections, the San Diego Planning Commission is allowing the Urbn Leaf cannabis dispensary to open in Rancho Bernardo. Is this going to “bring the wrong element” to RB? Or is this a legitimate business that sells medicine that offers people pain relief? San Diego Pothole Robot Survey
The Good: Aztecs in March Madness. The Bad: Nathan Fletcher, homelessness, San Diego schools declining, Poway Unified schools deteriorating, La Mesa dysfunction, Rancho Bernardo residents upset over cannabis. What is going on in San Diego? It's Wednesday, April 5, 2023. Here's what John Riley thinks: Aztecs make San Diego Proud So much love for the San Diego State men's basketball team as they make the March Madness finals, but lose to UConn. Can you feel the energy in San Diego around this team? Feels really good. Nathan Fletcher Needs to Resign Now Last week I praised Nathan Fletcher for seeking mental health help. But now the other shoe dropped, and we see a serious sexual harassment mess. Fletcher is a disgrace. But why is he postponing his resignation until May 15th? How will he be replaced on the San Diego Board of Supervisors. Homelessness Politicized by GOP CA State Senator Brian Jones understands that homelessness is a key issue for voters. Jones is proposing a plan to clear out homeless encampments near schools, parks and churches. Is this a good plan? Where will these people go? Poway Unified School District Preparing for a School Bond In a recent op-ed, PUSD superintendent Marian Kim-Phelps made the case that school facilities are crumbling. They need more funding to upgrade and repair their infrastructure. Phelps is making the case for a future school bond funded by taxpayers. This would be on top of payments for the Billion Dollar Bond. Can PUSD self-finance their plan? I think so. San Diego Schools, Poway Unified Enrollment Declining Interesting data as less students are attending San Diego schools. It's due to a number of factors including a transition to homeschooling and private schools, families moving out of state due to high cost of living, and some upset with the politicization of curriculum. Less students = less funding. What can public schools do to attract more students? La Mesa Permitting and Signage Dysfunction The City of La Mesa is struggling to process building permits to allow businesses to start and homeowners to install granny flats. This is frustrating residents and local politicians are demanding change. Meanwhile, La Mesa is considering LED electronic signage, but locals are upset about “visual pollution.” San Diego Community Forum We take comments and questions from our livestream audience as well as YouTube comments. Topics include Life Time Fitness at The Farm in Poway, homelessness demographics, free trade, Poway schools, cannabis dispensaries, PTSD, and baseball. #poway #lamesa #nathanfletcher #mentalhealth #homelessness #NIMBY #sandiego #ranchobernardo #lifetimefitness #PUSD #powayschools #PTSD #BrianJones JRP0315 Relevant Links: ‘Resign immediately': Desmond calls on Fletcher to step down now, not May 15, amid misconduct accusations. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/politics/story/2023-04-03/jim-desmond-nathan-fletcher-resign-immediately Republicans press Democrats on combating homelessness. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/columnists/story/2023-04-05/republicans-pressing-democrats-on-combating-homelessness Back to School: Is the B-word a bad word? https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/pomerado-news/opinion/editorial/back-to-school/story/2023-04-05/back-to-school-is-the-b-word-a-bad-word Appeals opposing Rancho Bernardo cannabis outlet go to county commission Thursday https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/pomerado-news/news/story/2023-04-04/appeals-opposing-cannabis-outlet-in-rancho-bernardo-to-be-heard-on-thursday San Diego County schools are still losing students, but fewer than early in the pandemic.

Can you feel the excitement in San Diego? Everywhere San Diegans are buzzing about the Aztecs in the Final Four and the Padres about to start their 2023 season. Now they are also buzzing about Nathan Fletcher. It's Wednesday, March 29, 2023. Here's what John Riley thinks: Aztecs/Padres Buzz Wherever you go there are people wearing Aztec gear and Padres gear. Shirts and hats are flying off the shelves as San Diego gets ready for a big sports weekend. The San Diego State Aztecs made their first Final Four and are only 2 wins away from a national championship. The San Diego Padres made the MLB Final Four last year and hope to win a World Series in 2023. Petco Park and Viejas Arena are special San Diego venues offering great excitement and fun. Nathan Fletcher Seeks Treatment for Mental Health, Substance Abuse Huge political news in San Diego as County Board of Supervisors, Nathan Fletcher, steps down from office. Fletcher needs to take time to address PTSD, trauma, and alcoholism which he has struggled with for years. He was considered a lock to win the next election for State Senate and succeed Toni Atkins. We discuss mental health, selfishness (the good kind), and pursuing win-win outcomes. Homelessness in San Diego is Expanding New data shows more people are becoming homeless than are finding homes. The housing crisis continues to be a huge problem that is largely caused by local officials. We discuss the data, the demographics, and some of the solutions. San Diego Community Forum: Poway, Rancho Bernardo, La Jolla We take your comments and questions in our San Diego Community Forum.

Pete Neild joined me to cover a wide range of topic in this San Diego News Update podcast episode. We cover Poway/Rancho Bernardo issues, San Diego regional news, Joe Biden's visit to San Diego, and US foreign policy issues with China and Russia. Poway Cronyism We saw so much money flowing into Poway's November election. Turns out that one of the main people behind one of the most influential Political Action Committees ends up getting appointed by Mayor Vaus to a city committee. Rancho Bernardo Roads Pete Neild enjoys driving his Corvette Calypso all over San Diego. He can vouch that Ted Williams Parkway and Carmel Mountain Road are a mess. Pete also thinks the Poway roads are not as good as some people think. Blacks Beach Immigration Tragedy Pete and John comment on the tragic loss of 8 lives as immigrants attempt to land at Black's Beach in La Jolla. This invites discussion of immigration and Friendship Park in Imperial Beach. Silicon Valley Bank's Mess is impacting people in San Diego We breakdown the Silicon Valley Bank cluster, wonder how the FDIC is covering it all, and comment how the mess is affecting people in San Diego. President Biden's Visit to San Diego Joe Biden's recent trip to San Diego was quite the spectacle. Air Force One lands at North Island and then Osprey's take POTUS to the Del Mar Polo Fields to meet with foreign leaders. The Biden visit closed down airspace for a time and caused the San Diego State Aztecs plane to be late for their March Madness trip to Orlando FL. Nuclear Submarine Agreement: USA, UK, Australia (AUSUK) Pete is a submarine veteran so we had some interesting discussion of the nuclear powered submarine deal between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. This led to further discussion of keeping the peace in the South China Sea and the trade routes from East Asia to the Indian Ocean. Ukraine Russia War There was plenty to comment about the conflict in Eastern Europe. Pete spent time in the Black Sea area when he served in the military. We also discuss the “don't get involved” crowd as it relates to this conflict and America's entry into WW2. #poway #ranchobernnardo #blacksbeach #svb #delmar #ausuk #ukraine JRP0312 Pete Neild Info: Pete's Corvette C7 Calypso: https://www.calypso-c74pjn.com/ Pete's Sea Stories Project: https://www.seestories.online/ Thank you to our livestream participants in the Community Forum.

San Diego County leaders are pushing for major changes in our region. Look in the crystal ball and we can see plans for more housing, more trolleys, more busses, more people, and now a per mile mileage tax. Can San Diego accommodate more growth? What do think of their plans to make this happen? It is Wednesday, February 22nd. Here is a roundup of news stories in and around San Diego County. Here is what John Riley thinks: Is SANDAG's Mileage Tax moral or practical? This mileage tax proposed by SANDAG is causing plenty of discussion for San Diegans. We are already paying property taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes and income taxes to fund roads, highways and freeways. Now they want to add another tax. Didn't SANDAG pass the TRANSNET sales tax increase decades ago to fund this? How are they going to charge per mile? Seems like we will either have GPS devices tracking our driving patterns and this raises valid concerns about privacy. Their plan is already charging a grandma in Rancho Bernardo a sales tax increase so a student from a rich family can take the trolley to college at a low price. Is that moral? Are trains and subways the right vision for the future? Or will self-driving electric vehicles offer a better solution that can function as individualized pods that get you right to your destination while also working in a swarm like mass transit? Climate change activists are suing to stop Mira Mesa's long-term housing plan Mira Mesa recently announced a 30-year growth plan and Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation, or CERF, is suing the City of San Diego because the plan does not match up with their climate plan for carbon emission reduction. Now climate goals and housing goals are stalled while lawyers sort this out. Are these groups counter productively harming their own interests? Will the GOP kill Social Security? Social Security has been in the news since the State of the Union address when President Biden accused the Republicans of wanting to slash Social Security spending. Sure, there are a few Republicans that want to do this, but do you think the GOP has the cajónes to actually do it? Is it in the GOP's best interest to cut spending for their senior citizen voter base? We break down the controversy and discuss the morality and mechanics of Social Security.

Patrick Batten is a candidate for Poway School Board running in Area C covering parts of Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Bernardo, and 4S Ranch. Patrick is attempting to win the race to fill the seat of departing incumbent TJ Zane. The US Marine Corps Patrick shared his background growing up with a single parent facing tremendous financial challenges. He discussed his time at San Diego State University and his career as a US Marine in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. Educational Curriculum We discussed his “Brilliant at the Basics” curriculum proposal focusing on reading, writing, and arithmetic. This led to further discussion of vocational education, critical race theory, and home economics courses. We also covered options available to students at PUSD to attend Design 39, JROTC at Westview High School, Spanish and Mandarin bi-lingual immersion programs in elementary schools, and 4H specialty classes at Poway High School. PUSD Finances and School Bonds Patrick Batten spoke about Poway Unified School District's financial condition, the broken air conditioning at Rancho Bernardo High School and Bernardo Heights Middle School, the failed Measure P bond, and the infamous Billion Dollar Bond. We also spoke about teachers/administrator union endorsements and how those relations impact financial budgeting for the district. COVID and Education We spent a good amount of time covering the way Poway Unified managed the COVID crisis including district communication challenges, masks, remote education, and how other schools successfully got students back in school sooner than PUSD. There was so much more covered in this podcast interview including the role of parents in education, the school board listening to constituents, Poway Federation of Teachers, Poway School Employee's Association, Contractor's Union, school safety, school board dynamics, school infrastructure, technology in education, book banning, STEM, and mental health services for students.

Urbn Leaf wants to move into Rancho Bernardo Urbn Leaf, a marijuana dispensary, wants to move into the long abandoned El Torito restaurant location in Rancho Bernardo. As you might imagine, the locals are not taking this Rancho Bernardo marijuana situation sitting down. We cover the story, the objections by the RB Community Planning Board, the objections by residents and the churches, and the comments from notable community leaders Robin Kaufman, Patrick Batten and Marni von Wilpert. It seems to me that many people continue to see cannabis as some sort of Reefer Madness drug that corrupts society rather than the medicine that it is. We examine the benefits of cannabis as well the community standards when it comes to more dangerous drugs like alcohol.

California's 50th Congressional District covers parts of San Diego County, including Escondido, San Marcos, Rancho Bernardo, La Jolla, Hillcrest and Coronado. Republican business owner Corey Gustafson cofounded Dogleg Brewing Company. He's challenging Democratic Rep. Scott Peters, who is seeking a sixth term in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Union-Tribune Editorial Board met with both candidates on Zoom to discuss a variety of issues. Here's what they had to say about the U.S. Mexico-border.
Lake San Marcos is such a mystery to me. Like if you took the water feature from a miniature golf course and expanded that over a couple miles—that's what it would be. A human-made oasis. Fake? You bet. Kinda magical? Also that. And that's the kind of hokey water hocus pocus I live for. I'm the kind of guy who thinks sequins is the height of American culture. This podcast we recorded live from the Mister A's of Lake San Marcos—Amalfi Cucina Italiana. Chef Marcello Avitabile is a six-time World Pizza Champion (read the review here). The four owners are all Italian, all friends who met while working at another one of the top Italian food spots in the city, Buona Forchetta (Avitabile was the longtime exec chef). It's the second stop on our Delicious IPA Tour with Stone Brewing. (Note: These have been great events where we gather and sip and taste, available to those of you who join our Insiders program… you should sign up). One of the first “Beer vs. Wine Dinners” I ever went to was hosted by Stone. Wine has always been hailed as the perfect beverage for food. Since its inception, Stone has seemed fixated on proving that craft beer paired as well, if not better, than wine. Early on, I was skeptical if not scoffing. I went to the dinner thinking “this is a gimmick but there is quality food and beer.” And, wow. Beer won the night. The 200-plus people there that night voted it in a landslide. And it wasn't close on my card, either. I was shocked. Being a nerd, I dug into the science of it, and turns out beer has so many more flavor compounds than wine (due to the increased number of ingredients—hops, malt, etc.) This isn't a slag against wine, which is a quality portion of my life. Just beverage facts. Anyway, point is. Stone Delicious IPA is what their brewers have been tinkering with all these years. Their perfect food pairing beer. They came to us and said, “Hey, let's do a tour to celebrate what we think is a pretty awesome achievement, and let's use it to highlight some local restaurants and cooks and indie businesses.” Easy sell. So this week we pair it with Avitabile's primavera pizza—marinated zucchini and red bell peppers and eggplant, buffalo mozzarella, EVOO, fresh basil, all baked and blistered in 60 seconds in their hell-hot pizza oven. It's a doozy, and the strong, lightly citrusy hops stand up the char on the crust, making it a perfect pair. We sit down and talk with the owners Giuseppe Annunziata and Emiliano Muslija about Amalfi, and why they're importing 90 percent of their ingredients from the Italian coast they're from. In the news, we're pretty jazzed about Azuki Sushi's new omakase spot; Breakfast Republic makes the move on expanding to other cities; discuss the bizarro ambition of space-portal alien tiki lounge Mothership in South Park, and Amalfi announces the opening of their second restaurant in North County. For “Two People, Fifty Bucks,” David raves about the Aleppo chicken at Callie; Emiliano points people to Akai Hana Sushi in Rancho Bernardo; Guiseppe expresses his desire to try the raved-about Sushi Tadokoro; and I am still a little floored by the ube pancakes at The Holding Company—where they've got an all-ages brunch on their rooftop overlooking the O.B. pier. It's an all-ages brunch, which is great because just because some of us chose to procreate doesn't mean we died. The podcast is fully back. Thanks for being patient as we moved offices over the summer. Full steam. See ya next week. –Troy

Death threats directed at Poway Unified School Board trustees. Protesters showing up at school board members' private homes with a manifesto filled with demands. What in the heck is going on here? We break down this whole story and then explore the nationwide heated rhetoric at school board meetings, the VA gubernatorial election, and school choice. Then we have a wonderful time discussing San Diego State Aztec punter Matt Araiza. Matt is a graduate of Rancho Bernardo high school and has become a national sensation for his incredible bionic leg breaking NCAA punting records. We discuss his backstory and his own pursuit of happiness. We also break down the season opening wins for UCSD and SDSU basketball. I share my own joy as a UCSD graduate finally experiencing my school having success at the Division 1 level. Then we discuss a range of San Diego news topics including housing development in Rancho Penasquitos along the I-15 freeway, the Aztec football stadium, and the record setting prices of homes in 3 zip codes in San Diego County. We also go down the rabbit hole discussing redistricting in the City of Poway and Poway Unified School District as we prepare for the 2022 election cycle. #PowaySchools #PUSD #MattAraiza #UCSD #SDSU Get proven and easy-to-implement strategies to build your business and pursue your happiness.

A new housing development in Rancho Penasquitos is causing an uproar in this San Diego community. We discuss The Junipers project and its impact on the local area. We also discuss NIMBYism, the California housing crisis, and the greater San Diego economy. We find many similar talking points to the objections of housing in my hometown of Poway. Plus a few tangents on wealth inequality, Santa Fe New Mexico and the Cedar and Witch Creek Fires. #RanchoPenasquitos #TheJunipers #housingcrisis Referenced Links: The Junipers: http://www.connecttheglens.com/ Dreamwell Homes: https://www.dreamwellhomes.com/the-junipers/ Penasquitos Northeast Action Group: https://www.savepq.org/ Apple Expanding in Rancho Bernardo: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/story/2021-04-26/apple-to-expand-san-diego-engineering-hub-boosting-workforce-to-5-000-over-five-years The Farm in Poway: https://www.thefarminpoway.com/ Why is California Housing So Expensive? https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/california/calmatters/why-is-housing-so-expensive-in-california/509-e463dd3f-4041-43b9-8983-4226caee88e2 John Riley Project Info: Bookings?

Welcome back to Happy Half Hour! In celebration of the lunar new year on February 12 and the Year of the Ox, we chatted with Tony Guan, executive chef at Fortunate Son, the newest restaurant from CH Projects in Normal Heights. Fortunate Son replaced Soda & Swine last fall, and serves Tony’s spin on classic American Chinese dishes like General’s Tso’s chicken and sweet and sour pork. Tony was born and raised in Chula Vista and went to culinary school here. He worked the line at the Dana Hotel in Mission Bay and at The LAB: Dining Sessions, and then left San Diego for more training. He moved to San Francisco and worked as sous chef at the acclaimed Restaurant Gary Danko. Tony described the experience of being fresh out of culinary school and working at a high-end, professional, kitchen as a lot of pressure. It was the prospect of helping open Abnormal Wine Company (now called The Cork and Craft) with chef Phillip Esteban that brought Tony back to San Diego. He then became executive chef at Underbelly, and now at Fortunate Son. Tony says a lot has changed in San Diego’s culinary scene since he first started, and that the city is now becoming a draw for the field—he attributes the non-competitive atmosphere. Chefs can come to San Diego and establish themselves fairly easily compared to other culinary destinations, like San Francisco, where Tony said had he stayed he may still be a line cook or sous chef. While working at Cork and Craft in Rancho Bernardo, Tony got the unique experience of taking higher end food and bringing it to people at a more affordable cost. Having opened a restaurant both before and during the pandemic, Tony was able to share the differences. While the remodeling of Fortunate Son went smoothly, opening up was naturally a more difficult experience. Tony said that takeout becoming the new way of plating food and the typical demographic expanding were a few challenges. What kept him going as a chef was being able to get up every day and work with his staff who all share the same passion for cooking food. In Hot Plates, a new shopping center called Tremont Collective is opening this summer in downtown Oceanside, bringing with it new locations for Bottlecraft and Communal Coffee. A food truck specializing in Lao and Khmer street food, The Sticky Rice Spot, has found a home at 16th and G streets in East Village and will be serving dishes like lemongrass chicken stir-fry daily from noon to 7 p.m. Also in East Village, it’s been confirmed that a new speakeasy will be built inside Neighborhood, but there’s still no word on the name or the concept. Troy discovered during his visit at Bowlegged BBQ in Oak Park that the owners are looking to open a second location in San Diego. In Two People for $50, Tony’s pick was Yakyudori on Convoy Street for the ramen and Japanese curry. Troy’s pick was Bowlegged BBQ for the pork ribs, mac and cheese, sweet collard greens, and dirty rice that can be enjoyed in the lively backyard. David’s go-to place for burritos and beer before a Padres Game is Lolita’s Mexican Food, where he recommends trying the 2 in 1 and Tsunami burritos. Thank you for listening! As always, we want to hear from our listeners. Do you have a question for Troy? Need a recommendation for takeout? Is there a guest you want us to book on the show? Let us know!

Steve Dow returns to the John Riley Project to discuss current events, President Trump, and local issues in Rancho Bernardo. Steve is the author of the book “15 Reasons People Voted for Trump in 2016 and Why These Don’t Apply in 2020”. We discussed the possibility of a COVID vaccine, the pros and cons of Joe Biden, a long list of issues involving Donald Trump and a preview of the Presidential Debates. We also discussed Steve’s role as a member of the Rancho Bernardo Community Planning Board. We covered some of the issues impacting Rancho Bernardo including housing policies, development, and the placement of a medical marijuana facility in the community. Steve and I shared our experiences as public speakers at Poway Unified School Board meetings and question how well the elected politicians consider feedback from constituents in the community. I really enjoyed Steve sharing his experience walking the halls of Congress and the Senate in Washington DC passing out his book to elected leaders and their staffs. We also discuss a range of other people and places including the Lindsay Graham, Kamala Harris, Steve Vaus, Gaby Dow, Jim Jordan, AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Hillary Clinton, mass incarceration, Black Lives Matter, George Floyd, SANDAG, Costco, Sea World, Constitution, Rule of Law, Checks and Balances, Social Security, Poway #JohnRileyProject #PUSD #RanchoBernardo JRP0163 John Riley Project Info: Bookings?

Welcome back to the Happy Half Hour! While San Diego may be the craft beer capital of the US, we also have a less-talked-about but flourishing wine scene. We’re learning all about it from Denise Clarke, owner of Altipiano Vineyard in Escondido. Altipiano is also the only Black- and female-owned winery in San Diego, and we ran a profile on Denise in the current issue. Denise shares her journey in becoming a boutique winemaker. She worked in human resources for many years, and her family owned an old avocado grove in Escondido. In 2007 a fire destroyed the grove, and in its place Denise decided to pursue her passion for wine and take the leap of starting her own vineyard. She explains how the microclimate in the hills of Escondido is similar to Tuscany, and is the perfect place to grow the Italian varietals she specializes in. The process of becoming a winemaker without classical training was a difficult one, and we learned it can take three years of production for a wine to become commercially viable. Denise says she found mentors along the way, including the group of 15–20 female winemakers in the county who lean on one another for support. There have been challenges, especially with the lack of inclusivity in the wine industry—Denise says people assume her husband is the winemaker at Altipiano, and at times she hasn’t been taken seriously. Over the years, her wines have won awards, and she’s known for producing bold reds like sangiovese and barbera. She also shares that she comes from a family of farmers, and she discovered that one of her relatives was also a winemaker. Tune in to find out more! In Hot Plates, we had a lot to discuss. First, the big news that restaurants in San Diego are allowed to have indoor dining at 25 percent capacity. New eateries recently opened at Westfield UTC: Rice Goban, Wushiland Boba, and Happy Lemon, which has Taiwanese cheese tea. The owners of Puesto bought the former Whisknlade space in La Jolla and are turning it into an Italian restaurant, and Stone Brewing Co. has named Maria Stipp their new CEO. In Two People for Takeout/Two People for $50, Denise said she likes the tournedos Oscar and outdoor dining setup at Carvers Steaks and Chops in Rancho Bernardo. Troy’s pick (which he jokes is more like Two People, $300) is the wagyu beef and caviar bump at Born & Raised. David talked about re-creating the experience of going to a ballgame at Petco Park by getting takeout from Hodad’s. My pick is the fish and shrimp tacos at La Reyna del Sur Mariscos truck in University Heights. Thank you for listening! As always, we want to hear from our listeners. Do you have a question for Troy? Need a recommendation for takeout? Is there a guest you want us to book on the show? Let us know!

We also get into the gig economy, the entrepreneurial mindset and how that can help both gig workers and traditional employees get greater pay and happiness. We also discuss a range of other people and places including Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Sabre Springs, 4S Ranch, Pete Neild, Michael Devine, Chris Olps, Frank Fournier, Caylin Frank, San Diego Padres, Pahrump, Fortress of Solitude, Mental Clarity, Wall Street Journal, Blockbuster, Netflix, Seinfeld, Newman #JohnRileyProject #PostOfficeSabatoge #PostalService #Seinfeld #GigEconomy JRP0150 Referenced Articles: Post Office’s Problem Isn’t Just Trump: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-post-offices-problem-isnt-trump-11597360885 US Postal Service Top Facts: https://facts.usps.com/top-facts/ Founders Never Intended US Postal Service to be Managed Like a Business: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/04/27/founders-never-intended-postal-service-be-managed-like-business/ John Riley Project Info: Bookings?

In this episode of OWC RADiO, host Cirina Catania, talks with Orlando Luna (Producer/Benefactor) and Andy Stein (Founder and Executive Chairman) of the Orphaned Starfish Foundation, as they unveil the behind-the-scenes stories of how this organization came about and how OSF is now teaching technology, creativity and story-telling using mobile hardware and software. OSF was founded in 2001 to help orphans, victims of abuse, survivors of trafficking, indigenous populations, refugees and at-risk youth worldwide escape their cycles of poverty and abuse through education and job training. As of this broadcast, over 15,000 children in countries around the world have seen their lives changed as mentors from the organization arrive to empower their inner creativity. By taking away the thought that filmmaking is "hard," and giving them simple but powerful tools, all the team has to do is train them and give them the inspiration to create! The results are surprising. In a new association with Mobile Phone Studio and WeMakeMovies, The Orphaned Starfish Foundation’s emerging tech-arts program is reaching out even further to enable children to tell their stories through film. Yes, it is about gear, but it is even more about freedom of expression and a safe field in which to run. The work is as powerful as it is important.

Gaby Dow returned for her second podcast interview and we had a great time covering national and San Diego political issues. We broke down the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination process looking at each candidate and how the race was shaping up. We can’t talk national politics without discussion President Trump, his policies and what the eventual November 2020 race might look like. That led to so many other interesting discussions involving culture, race, healthcare, education and how America differs from Scandinavia, Latin America and Germany. Gaby Dow and I spent plenty of time looking at some of the important races on the San Diego County ballot including the San Diego Mayoral Race, San Diego City Council District 5, the new bond measure with Poway Unified School District (Measure P), San Diego County Board of Supervisors District 2, US Congressional District 50 and much more.

Jake LeClair from Emerge Resilient visited the JRP podcast studio to discuss drug addiction and his innovative therapy connecting recovering addicts with horses. We covered many of the reasons people seek drugs and how easy it is to fall into the trap of addiction. We took a close look at our own city and the multitude of easy ways people can get access to street drugs including in our own schools. Jake LeClair shared his own story as a high achiever, struggling with addiction, hitting rock bottom and then working his way back on the road to recovery. Learning about the recovery therapy with horses was amazing. Humans have had a long and special relationship with horses and that relationship provides opportunity to help addicts connect with reality, live in the moment and rediscover themselves. We covered a wide range of issues, people and places including Poway High School, Poway Farmer’s Market, New York, Ivy League, Pacific Beach, Poway, opioids, Vicodin, alcohol, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, wine, Rancho Bernardo, Alcoholics Anonymous, mental health, self-awareness, nicotine, journaling, meditation, mindfulness, Christmas lights, Adderall, law school, wine, martini, Rancho Penasquitos, predator, prey, trust your gut, gut feeling, temptation, toxic stress, NPR, sugar, midlife crisis #JohnRileyProject #JakeLeClair #FromDopetoHope #HorseTherapy JRP0103 Jake LeClair Info: Website: https://www.emergeresilient.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009062660799 John Riley Project Info: Bookings?

Greg’s book documents the ultimate road trip of two friends graduating high school and going on a 5-week adventure through California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Oregon.

Michael Bloomberg is about to jump into the race for President as a Democrat. How does his presence change dynamics of the primary race?

This is such a confusing topic. How much should you tip? Who do you tip? What are the rules? What are your standards? Why does tipping seem to happen in the shadows? How are tips distributed amongst the staff? I share numerous examples of my own journey as a person that originally was jaded by the idea of tipping. Even as an employee that received tips, I was perplexed by the whole idea and wondered why the system needed to exist this way. But I evolved tremendously due to 2 significant events in my life. I share those stories in this podcast along with some of my own challenges, sometimes hypocrisy and much more. We also explore the attempts of business owners and government to try to create a better system. Help me understand! Open invitation to people in service industry to join me in a podcast episode to explore this topic further. I also get into a number of other issues including The Fish Market, Living Wage, Richard Rider, Mama Cella’s, Rancho Bernardo, Lee Hacksaw Hamilton, Jose Altuve, DJ LeMahieu, Houston Astros, New York Yankees, World Series, Jennifer Klein, Synanon, Tulsi Gabbard, Hillary Clinton, Russian Asset, minimum wage, Butte, Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans, Rick Steves, Old Town Trolley, Uber, San Diego Airport, Fresh Out the Barbershop, Vintana, Escondido, Poway, Lexus, Danny Meyer, Union Square Hospitality Group, Agern, New York, Le Pigeon, Portland, University of California, Irvine, Richard McKenzie, Initiative 77.

Rancho Bernardo author, citizen and independent voter, Steve Dow, joined us to discuss his new book: 15 Reasons People Voted for Trump in 2016 and Why These Don’t Apply in 2020. We traced his roots growing up in New Jersey, reliving the 1985 Villanova Wildcats NCAA victory over Georgetown, and his degree in civil engineering and minor in peace & justice. Then we got into his career, meeting his wife Gaby Dow (a previous guest on the John Riley Project), building a family and being a father and role model for his children. Then we get into his book, his pent-up need to express himself and the free-flowing stream of consciousness as he wrote the book. Steve shared a few of the “reasons” in his book and we take time to explore those Trump topics and enjoy adventures on a variety of tangents. I was given a copy of the book in advance and I found Steve’s presentation to be rational, transparent (Steve will share his biases where they exist), often balanced and supported by well respected sources. It is my opinion that even the strongest Trump supporters will likely agree with many of Dow’s 15 reasons listed in his table of contents, even if they disagree with him on his presentation. We get into so many topics including solar energy, Carlsbad desalination plant, water resources, farming, artificial intelligence, Andrew Yang, Trump golfing, Obama golfing, tribalism, identity politics, Republican Party, Democratic Party, separation of powers, Hitler, fake news, Denmark, Norway, superhero, banana republics, alternative facts, El Paso, individual rights, MAGA hat, freedom of speech, impeachment, narcissism, robotics, Mad Max, Godfather, root cause analysis, George Orwell, dystopia, Bernie Sanders. #JohnRileyProject #Life #Liberty #PursuitofHappiness #Trump #15Reasons #OnlyICanFixIt #SteveDow JRP0068 Steve Dow Info: 15 Reasons People Voted for Trump in 2016 at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Reasons-people-voted-Trump-2016/dp/1733251022 John Riley Project Info: Bookings?

Kearney and Brand preview spring sports championships; the performance of Madison High sprinter Kenan Christon; and the annual Union-Tribune/San Diego Sports Association “Prep Athletes Awards Gala,” slated for Friday, June 14 at Petco Park.
For most of the past decade, officials in San Diego have witnessed a remarkable development — the steady decrease in crime in the city, down to levels as low as they have been in more than a generation. The city consistently logs the lowest murder and crime numbers among all large cities in the country. And in 2017, San Diego reached another milestone: It had the lowest violent crime rate among the country's 10 largest cities, making it by one measure the safest big city in the country. From San Ysidro to Pacific Beach and north to Rancho Bernardo, it is clear that violent crime is down overall in San Diego. But not everywhere. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/story/2019-03-28/crime-counts-as-crime-falls-to-record-lows-some-neighborhoods-are-left-behind
Today we had Rising Star Midfielder Gianna Picone!!! But we just call her G!! The girls beat Mission Hills 4-0 to move on to the Quarterfinals against Rancho Bernardo!! Enjoy the episode!!
In this episode we get into two hot issues: Poway Mayor Steve Vaus’ proposal for government subsidized Poway granny flats and NYC Congressperson Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ proposal for the Green New Deal. At the local level, we break down Vaus’ HOMES (Homes On My Extra Space) plan in Poway. There is good buzz going on in California, in San Diego and here in Poway about addressing the housing crisis. San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer has proposed plans to make construction easier and to combat NIMBYism that thwarts new housing growth. Faulconer’s proposal is a good one, but Vaus wants Poway to go “One Step Further”. Vaus’ plan has the city buying the granny flat building, placing it on the land of a Poway property owner, then splitting the revenue between the city, the property owner and a property manager to manage the process. Some think it is a good plan to encourage more granny flats and provide affordable housing for low income tenants. But is it a moral plan? Other property owners, that may be denied a granny flat or simply do not have room for one, end up paying property taxes so a different property owner is rewarded. How are they rewarded? They get a revenue stream, they get an upgrade to the property that makes their home more valuable and they get the granny flat building as a gift after 10-12 years. The right answer is to remove govt control, not more central planning. I break it down in this podcast. We also get into Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ Green New Deal, her political strategy and the moral cause she is championing. But is there an opposition that is engaging in the battle of ideas from a moral perspective? I am not seeing it, but I try to make the case. We also discuss San Luis Obipso, my daughter Shannon, the Poway vs Rancho Bernardo basketball big game, Padre Manager Andy Green’s proposal for extra innings, San Diego State Aztec Basketball, Brady Hoke, Frank Robinson, #PadresTwitter, Brian Maienschein, the Super Bowl, Adam Levine and President Trump and the State of the Union.

I was so pleased to enjoy a conversation with San Diego sportswriter legend, John Maffei. John is a 50-year veteran in sports journalism, an athlete, a coach and a major behind-the-scenes person that has made a significant, positive impact in the San Diego sports community. We spent time learning about John's life. Born in Chicago, raised in Pasadena, went to La Salle High School, recruited to play baseball at St Mary’s but chose to play at Pasadena City College and later at San Diego State. John Maffei shared his memories as a teammate of Darrell Evans while at Pasadena City College. Evans' talent helped lead their baseball team (and basketball team) to state championships. Evans played professionally for the Atlanta Braves, San Francisco Giants and the 1984 World Series Champion Detroit Tigers. John Maffei formed a strong relationship with basketball coaching legend Jerry Tarkanian who was the head basketball coach at Pasadena. John was a part of Tark's support staff helping him keep the game book while John was not playing baseball. Tarkanian offered John a full ride scholarship to Long Beach State when Tark was hired there (prior to his career at UNLV and Fresno St), but John politely declined the offer because he wanted to keep his baseball dream alive. We spent time going down memory lane of John’s time at San Diego State as the sports editor of the Daily Aztec and player on the baseball team. John shared a special relationship with football coach Don Coryell and helped him recruit athletes to play for the Aztecs. John Maffei spoke at length of his time as a manger in the California Collegiate Summer League where he played against incredible baseball talent including one game facing both Mike Scott and Jesse Orosco in a double header. We touched on a baseball tour he did Alaska playing in the Midnight Sun games, including sharing fun memories of Bob Moss (Hubba Jubba!). No story of San Diego sports is complete without recounting wonderful stories of Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn. John Maffei shared his special moments with Tony in the Padres dugout after batting practice and sharing Tony’s desire to make a positive impact with each fan he interacted with. It was fun to discuss so many incredible athletes from the Poway, Rancho Bernardo and Rancho Penasquitos area including Tony Gwynn Jr., Cole Hamels, Trevor Williams, Eric Chavez, Jaime Jones and Billy Beane. We shared stories about both Deron and Dominick Johnson, including Dom’s incredible talent as a basketball player before becoming a modern-day pitching guru on par with Tom House. I am leaving so much out in this written summary. We also shared stories about John Wooden, the San Diego Sports Arena, the 2019 Padres outlook and their minor league system, Qualcomm Stadium, Rashaan Salaam, La Jolla Country Day High School, Marcus Allen's incredible performance in a CIF title game, Ricky Williams, Alex Smith, Rancho Bernardo vs Montgomery baseball, Kevin Towers and so much more.

Head Coach of the Mission Hills Grizzlies, Chris Hauser joined the High School Football Show with John Kentera last night to talk about their upcoming playoff game against Rancho Bernardo. Hauser also discussed what i meant playing for and being around legendary Vista Head Coach Dick Haines. You can listen to the Mission Hills vs Rancho Bernardo game live on 97.3 the Fan or on the radio.com app!
Writer from the Union Tribune, John Maffei, joined Coach John Kentera on the High School Football Show to breakdown all the games in the North County, including Ramona and Valley Center, LCC and Torrey Pines, and Rancho Bernardo and Poway.
Terry Norwood joined me yesterday afternoon for pleasant conversation about her campaign for Poway School Board in Area C (mostly Rancho Bernardo). Terry has carved out a unique position in her race. She is the only challenger running against two incumbents. She is the only woman on the ballot. She is the only Rancho Bernardo resident in the race for a district that is primarily about representing Rancho Bernardo's interests. Terry Norwood has spent a great deal of her time as an active member in her community. She served as PTA President at Rancho Bernardo High School. She spent numerous years working on the Rancho Bernardo Grad Night event including one year as Committee Chair. She has served on the school site council at RB High. She serves on the Palomar PTA Council (the umbrella PTA organization for all of PUSD). She has served on the Rancho Bernardo Planning Commission and as a board member on the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation. Plus she has great experience serving in organizations that support local military families. Her progression to become a candidate for school board is simply the next logical step in her journey to serve her community. Terry Norwood prides herself on out-of-the-box thinking looking for creative ways to bring new resources to help students in the classroom. She sees a great need for an active CTE (Career Technical Education) program (aka vocational education) to supplement the traditional college track courses in high school. We discussed the unique vocational programs available at various high schools that are simply under publicized and thus not offering the full potential of value for students in the area. She sees opportunities to bring in local businesses to offer internships, to coordinate resources to help students in specialized programs (i.e. robotics) and to offer training at school sites. While she will lobby Sacramento for more educational funding from the state budget, she wants to also maximize revenue sources available in our own backyard. We discussed her background growing up in Bell County Texas, living abroad in Sicily and on the western outpost of America along the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. This broad experience with different cultures and lifestyles gives Terry the ability to better empathize with the unique needs of students, teachers, parents, administrators and taxpayers of various backgrounds. Her race offered up many fascinating topics of discussion. She may be one of the few candidates in America that is facing off against TWO incumbents in the same race. Because of the challenging 3-2 majority dynamic on the board with her two opponents often on opposite sides of many key issues, this may open up a 4-lane highway down the center as she works to win the race. Terry hopes to capitalize on this anti-incumbency feeling amongst the electorate. I was particularly intrigued with her ideas to provide visual and performing arts not simply as a separate and distinct school program, but instead as an integrated and money-saving program that helps reinforce lessons in history, social science, literature and other disciplines (including special events like Grad Night). She strongly believes that different students learn differently, so different methods of teaching must be available (textbook, learning-by-doing, creative presentations, etc.). We also spoke about her learnings as a mother of a special needs student and how she can help PUSD with special needs education. Finally we also touched on the lack of long term planning at PUSD particularly with financial and safety matters. But that wasn't all we addressed in this 2-hour discussion. I invite you to listen and watch as we covered other issues including Rancho Bernardo High School Principal David LeMaster, US Army, US Navy, basketball, tennis, strategies on breaking the 3-2 majority dynamic, how she will work together with other board members and provide stability,

Happy new year—we’re back with our first episode of 2018! Hosts Erin Chambers Smith and Troy Johnson, along with producer Archana Ram kick things from Petco’s headquarters in Rancho Bernardo. In Hot Plates, we talk about the re-opening of K Sandwiches, a new poke spot in Westfield UTC, and a boutique in Point Loma Village that’s launched a beauty and cocktails event series. And have you heard? The Impossible Burger is finally available in San Diego, at Jaynes Gastropub in Normal Heights and Trattoria Ponte Vecchio in Del Mar. The plant-based burger, made of wheat, coconut oil, and potatoes, also has heme, a unique ingredient that makes the veggie burger “bleed.” Producer David has tried it, and he chimes in on the Impossible’s taste. Our guest is David Mead, co-founder of Baby Clydesdale, a local line of small-batch sauces, including a preservative-free sriracha and vegan pesto. He talks about growing his business, selling at farmers’ market, and why everyone starting a business should watch Mad Men. (He’s also featured in this month’s San Diego Magazine cover story about local farmers’ markets.)
On today’s Happy Half Hour, hosts Erin Chambers Smith and Troy Johnson, along with producer Archana Ram are coming at you live from Petco’s headquarters in Rancho Bernardo. We’re talking the latest local restaurant news, like the new Landon’s Gourmet Kitchen in San Marcos offering on-site childcare, plus a new pizzeria coming to North Park. Joining us is Dr. Andrew Weil, the founder of True Food Kitchen, which opened its second San Diego location last month at Westfield UTC. He tells us why he created a restaurant, his favorite dishes at TFK, and more. Plus, we’re talking about our favorite bars and restaurants to visit this time of the year. Hello, holiday visitors!

In today’s episode of the Happy Half Hour, hosts Erin Chambers Smith and Troy Johnson, along with producer Archana Ram are coming at you live from Petco’s headquarters in Rancho Bernardo. We’re talking the latest local restaurant news, like the new Carruth Cellars Wine Garden in Little Italy and the opening of a new burger spot on the SDSU campus (and yes, they have whiskey at this location, too). Our guest is chef Steve Brown, an Imperial Beach native. He’s a big part of the South Bay uprising, with his dinner pop-up series Cosecha, Temp° in Chula Vista opening next month and Bar Logan debuting in Barrio Logan by the end of the year. As if he weren’t busy enough, he also has plans for a two-story eatery in Imperial Beach. Plus, we’re talking about the rising trend of cannabis-infused dinners. Brown tells us why it’s not as simple as “throwing in weed butter and calling it a day.” And we share our recommendations for Two People/$50, including Pali Wine Co., Surati Farsan, Karina’s Seafood, and Solare.
Pastor Bill Mangham from Existence Church in Rancho Bernardo shares his one word for 2017.
Season 2, Episode 25 – This week we’re at the ever-so-awesome Urge Gastropub in Rancho Bernardo, San Diego. This week, we’re still in San Diego, California at our third stop, Urge American Gastropub. This show is a bit of a deviation from our normal shows in that Urge isn’t a brewery, but rather an awesome beer-geeky pub and restaurant. Anna, Hidden Barrel Peche, and Cable Car Ale Urge [bURGEr] Gastropub was founded in 2010 by owner and proprietor Grant Tondro and Zak Higson. Grant comes from a family of restaurant owners, and is a huge beer geek. Urge boasts 51 taps of craft beer, and an insane bottle list that even the geekiest beer geek would drool over. We kick off the show with a beer that’s pretty much impossible to get in Southern California, Anna from Hill Farmstead Brewery. Urge is a restaurant after all, so naturally we’re gonna have some food on the show. Grant whipped up an awesome spread for us that included a few different burgers and some beer cheese fries. It’s all awesome stuff–Urge is no joke. Grant Tondro, General Manager & Proprietor, Urge Gastropub The other beers on the show include a peach sour named Hidden Barrel Peche from AC Golden (yup, Coors), a 2015 Cable Car Ale from The Lost Abbey, and a pint of 2015 YuleSmith Summer from AleSmith Brewing Co.. #Whalezbro indeed… Inside the Coldbox at Urge Gastropub Grant has plans to open a brewery in Oceanside, California in late 2015 named Mason Ale Works, with Mike Rodriguez (formerly of The Lost Abbey and Boulevard Brewing) at the helm. Keep your eyes open… Urge Gastropub is a great spot with delicious food, awesome brews and a great atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out the next time you’re in the area. BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.
