Podcast 345

Late Night Live. After a day that started in West Texas, chillin’ at Scottsdale’s Chop and Wok where they were kind enough to provide water, and WIFI. This is one instance where pulling up in a huge vehicle with ‘The Bob Davis Podcasts’ emblazoned all over it, paid off. If you have seen the Mobile Podcast Command Vehicle traveling across the US, send us an email and say hello, and thanks for finding the Bob Davis Podcasts. After an introduction, live, from the Chop and Wok, this podcast features a montage of the day’s travel, starting in West Texas, and ending up on the ‘Road Less Traveled’ between I40, and Payson, Arizona at sunset. What do you do when your phone quits in a small town in Western Oklahoma? And what about the food at Truck Stops. Is it possible for someone to create the first ‘Farm to Table’ truck stop? Why not? This podcast happily, includes absolutely nothing about politics. It’s all just travel, and the crazy thoughts that come with it. From Farm to Table truck stops to Zane Grey! Starting in Eastern Texas, ending up in the mountains around Payson, Arizona in one day, with a lot of observations and questions along the way. Don’t forget New Mexico, land of enchantment, either.

Podcast 344

Foreign Policy In New Mexico. The negotiations with Iran are back at the top of the news. Taking a break from the road in The Mobile Podcast Command Unit 8, drinking coffee from the Flying J in Walter White’s Hometown. A quiet conversation about The President’s policy and negotiations with Iran, and what this president might leave the next. As the Iranians get just about everything they wanted, the Saudis, Jordanians, and Egypt talk about forming a joint command to address the Islamic State Threat. Again we find ourselves asking what the US Foreign Policy should be. Do any of the candidates on either side of the political spectrum have any ideas? Its seems as though they don’t. Meanwhile, while the media talks about domestic issues as the primary concerns of 2016, it’s very possible foreign issues could be the main focus, especially if things blow up before this President leaves office in January of 2017. And oh, a couple of side comments about road food, truck stops and travel. (Editor’s Note: This is the kind of stuff I sometimes like to talk about as soon as I wake up in the morning. I’m sitting in the RV Section at the Flying J in ABQ, drinking coffee and getting ready to roll on through New Mexico, onto Phoenix.Definitely having a blast!) And by the way, it’s spelled Albuquerque. And I did not see Walter White, Jessie Pinkman, or even Saul. Sponsored by Ryan Plumbing and Heating of Saint Paul
