Hi, I'm Buzz Night and I 2 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: host this podcast called Taking a Walk and sometimes we 3 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: do virtual things. So right now we're doing a virtual 4 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: it's called stream Yard. And there's a man who is 5 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: really integral to the Taking a Walk podcast who is 6 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: roaming the country literally and he does amazing work and 7 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: I've known him forever and it's Bob Mala Tessa. Hello, Bob, Hi, Buzz, 8 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: good to see you. Good to see you too. So 9 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: you're Somewhereville, Texas. I'm in Mineral Wells, Texas, which is 10 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: just west of Dallas on my way to New Mexico. 11 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: So this is a journey that you have documented on 12 00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: your YouTube channel with those crazy dogs, travel Logs with 13 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: Bob and Dogs. That's correct. The thirtieth episode is about 14 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: to be released. So how do people subscribe to that too? 15 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: Go to YouTube search Travelogs with Bob and Dogs, then subscribe, 16 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: or they can go to Uncle bob'ssoup dot com and 17 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: there's a link directly to the videos from there. That's exciting. 18 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: I've been Uncle Bob for a long time and I 19 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: thought about making soup ones. So I've owned this url 20 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: since the nineties and I finally did something with it. 21 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: What sort of soup do you favor? By the way, 22 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: it depends on the weather in garden season. I love 23 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: a gaspacho. Cold, cold, raw, snowy days like is currently 24 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: happening in Maine. Two feet of snow on the ground 25 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: right now. It's a good day for maybe a beef 26 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: stew or homemade chicken noodle. I have like five different 27 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: ways of making that, and I just can't get enough 28 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: of it. Oh God, you're killing me, you really, you're 29 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: you were, you were, you were really killing me with 30 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: just the talk of the soup. You favor a mullagatoni 31 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: anytime I have not had it? Oh yeah, it's you know, 32 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't sound good when you say chicken soup and apples, 33 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: but it's really good. Well I will, I will put 34 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: it on my list for when I'm back to making soup, 35 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: because I'm not making it in my little nineteen foot 36 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: van that I'm living in. There's barely room. There isn't 37 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: room for the dogs and I to go in opposite 38 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: directions in here, so we have to back up into 39 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: a corner so that the other one can go by. 40 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: How do they feel about that? They're pretty happy. We 41 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: just went for a little three mile walk and now 42 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: they're out cold. Oh they don't even notice that you're 43 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: here talking to me. That's otherwise, that's the best way 44 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: to have them, right, Yes, one last thing on soup. 45 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: Do you find ever in your heart the being a 46 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: lifelong New Englander to accept Manhattan clam chowder? It's it's 47 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: not as bad as it sounds. I think it's really good. Yeah, No, 48 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: it is good. It's when it's well made, like any 49 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: like anything, When it's well made, it's really good. I 50 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: have not been able to bring myself to actually make it, 51 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: but I will eat it. Yeah, I mean it's hard 52 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: to get it in these parts, as you know. So 53 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: what's the food been like on the road? I know 54 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: this is not really a food podcast, but we can 55 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: make it whatever we want since we're in charge. So 56 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: I've done a lot of cooking for myself because I 57 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: carry a little grill with me and so I take 58 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: a protein and some vegetables in foil, throw them all 59 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: on the grill and there's it's easy to eat and 60 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: there's nothing to clean up. But I did have in 61 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: Texas a life altering barbecue experience. It was pulled pork 62 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: that was like a melted stick of butter, and the 63 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: sauce was perfect, and it came with slaw that was 64 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: fresh and homemade. And the pinto beans were simply the 65 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: best bean dish I have ever had. It was it 66 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: had smoke and onions and juice. One of the things 67 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: about barbecue beans on the side that I've had with 68 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: barbecue as they're almost always really really dry, and these 69 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: were nice and juicy, and I I think they even 70 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: had shredded carrot. It was just it was to die for. 71 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: And was it like a hole in the wall. Yeah, 72 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: And I think it was a family that was running it, 73 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: and it was called Bodacious Barbecue. I like that. And 74 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: the guy who was running the barbecue pit, I thought, 75 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: there's something weird about that guy. I'm six feet tall, Okay, 76 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: this guy was six feet three or four and he 77 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: had to be four hundred pounds. And I watched him 78 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: reach into a steam table and bare hand a pork butt, 79 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: pull it out and put it onto his cutting board. 80 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: He was a big barbecue machine. I loved the visual, 81 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: but it was great. And apparently they were running a 82 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: catering operation out of the back too. So what do 83 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: you suppose his name was maybe Junior exactly, It wasn't Kevin. 84 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: I can tell you that people are amazed when I 85 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: explained to them that you're on this journey and we're 86 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: still able to, you know, put podcasts out. Can you 87 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: explain how that works? Well? When I was a baby 88 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: and started doing radio production, you needed a one hundred 89 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: pounds tape deck and a huge console and other things. 90 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: But I have an audio interface, a laptop and two 91 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: different ways to connect to the Internet, and that's really 92 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: all I need and you need, Yeah, you need a 93 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: place to plug in, right. I carry a hotspot and 94 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: I've had all down the East Coast and across the South. 95 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: I've had excellent internet connectivity between the wireless hotspot and 96 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: my phone. If one doesn't work, the other one almost 97 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: certainly will. We'll see what happens as I head further west, 98 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: but it's been no issue, so it's no. Yeah. But 99 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: some of this was how you scouted where you were 100 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: gone too? Yes? Yes? And have the people been generally nice? Yes? 101 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: My dogs barked at someone and they were not very 102 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: nice about it. They we were going up a mountain 103 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: and these other people were coming down and the dogs 104 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: can be unpredictable when they meet strangers, mostly because they're 105 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: on leashes, I think. But I went way well off 106 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: the trail. But to get off the trail, I had 107 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: to go up a slope and the dogs were fine, 108 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: and but the people who went by had a dog, 109 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: and the little one lunged at the dog. Then Bruno 110 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: lunged at the dog, and they pulled me. I fell 111 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: down the hill, got all scraped up, and the guy said, 112 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: are you okay, sir? But the woman said great, now 113 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: I have to be next to him, meaning me splayed 114 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: out on the ground. Other than met, the people have 115 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: been really really just wonderful, really nice people nice. I 116 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: love it well, I said, our test works of stream yard. 117 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: But we'll have to ultimately listen more. But it seems 118 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: like it works. Yes, so this will hopefully come in 119 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: use for some future guests here. We're rounding forty six thousand, 120 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: seven hundred downloads as we speak, so we're almost ready 121 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: to crack that fifty thousand marker, which is a good 122 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: one and couldn't have done it without you, so thank 123 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: you and safe travels. Glad you still let me play 124 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: in your sandbox.
