Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

Narrated across two time periods from two different perspectives, the story follows a young son of Polish immigrants, Jan Nowak, as he seeks to find his place among the criminal elements that rule St Louis’ streets.

When Jan is killed during World War II and Hazel falls apart mentally, begins drinking heavily, and carousing with men, it is Jan and Hazel’s son, AJ Nowak, who must piece together his mother’s untimely death, as well as a murder committed decades ago with both bodies coincidentally found below the ice of Long Lake.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Do THC enhanced drinks effect your dreams?  Plus…how often do we learn a new lesson in life and never return to use the tool again?           I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

-Missed Opportunity- I love sharing conversations.  Hosting requires show prep.  My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests.  What you don’t have access to are the missed opportunities. The show prep was completed.  The conversation didn’t happen.  I keep all my notes! Paths will cross again.  Let me explain Missed Opportunity.  It’s my questions and statements without their answers.  I’m leaving open enough space at the end of each question hoping they’ll download the talk and insert their answers.Missed Opportunity is a lost piece of history.  Like a message in a bottle tossed out to sea. I hope to locate a destination…
  This week we’re putting focus on my missed opportunity with author Michael Wolff the creator of the book Fire and Fury.

Every little kid who's ever taken the mound in Little League dreams of someday getting the ball for Game Seven of the World Series. Ron Darling got to live that dream - only it didn't go exactly as planned. In Game 7, 1986, the award-winning baseball analyst looks back at what might have been a signature moment in his career, and reflects on the ways professional athletes must sometimes shoulder a personal disappointment as his team finds a way to win. Published to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the 1986 New York Mets championship season, Darling's book will break down one of baseball's great "forgotten" games - a game that stands as a thrilling, telling and tantalizing exclamation point to one of the best-remember seasons in Major League Baseball history. Working once again with New York Times best-selling collaborator Daniel Paisner, who teamed with the former All-Star pitcher on his acclaimed 2009 memoir, Game 7, 1986, Darling offers a book for the thinking baseball fan, a chance to reflect on what it means to compete at the game's highest level, with everything on the line.
ABOUT RON DARLING
is an Emmy Award-winning baseball analyst for TBS, the MLB Network, SNY and WPIX-TV as well as author of The Complete Game. He was a starting pitcher for the New York Mets from 1983-1991 and the first Mets pitcher to be awarded a Gold Glove.

What is more nostalgic than the memory of an American road trip: the sense of freedom and exploration, adventure and an open road, connection and memories, simplicity and escape? 
In The Great American Retro Road Trip: A Celebration of Roadside Americana (Artisan; hardcover; June 24, 2025), join journalist Rolando Pujol on a coast-to-coast celebration of the nostalgic pleasures of America's vintage signs, quirky roadside attractions, and offbeat fast-food relics.
A taste of the 1000 iconic locations listed includes:The 21-foot Buck Atom, a Muffler Man space cowboy deposited by aliens at an old gas station on Route 66 near Tulsa, Oklahoma. The 13-foot Smiling Peanut, inspired by President Jimmy Carter’s famous smile and constructed during his 1976 campaign, now sitting in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. The Sinclair Oil dinosaur Octane in Heber City, Utah, to see how local schoolteacher Christine Chappell has outfitted him (Octane has been dressed up as everything from a Utah Jazz player to Barbie to the Statue of Liberty and has promoted school fundraisers, political candidates, and helped celebrate holidays). The 9,370-pound World’s Largest Popcorn Ball, made from real, locally grown popcorn kernels in Sac City, IowaA corn dog at the Cozy Drive-In in Springfield, Illinois, whose founder sensationalized the 1946 Illinois State Fair when he debuted his hot dog on a stick. A hamburger and midcentury ambience at The Red Rooster in Brewster, New York in a 1963 A-frame decorated with candy- stripes and an ice-cream-cone cupola. Burger Chef, founded in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1954, was once neck-and-neck with Burger King in the race to catch up with McDonald’s. The chain faded away by the 1980s, but one of the finest remaining former Burger Chefs is in Rialto, California, is so authentic looking it appeared in Mad Men.

It was around this date back in 1967 that Led Zeppelin founder Jimmy Page stumbled upon the Jake Holmes song “Dazed and Confused.” The Greenwich Village folk-rock singer opened for his group, the Yardbirds, at the Village Theatre in New York City and performed the song, which appeared on his recently released debut LP. Neither of them could’ve predicted the chain of events that would ignite a couple of years later when Page co-opted the song and made it one of Zeppelin’s biggest numbers. Between those two events, Jake co-wrote two concept albums with Bob Gaudio; one for his group, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, and the other for Frank Sinatra. In his latest article for the Strange Brew, author Scott G. Shea tells Part 1 of Jake’s little-known story, which provides insight into these two albums and how this diminutive folk singer influenced several giants of the business.
