Travels With Randy Route 66 Episode 7 is here! New Mexico! Gallop To Grants To Albuquerque Route 66 Maintenance Challenges Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed their experiences with Route 66, including Bubba's ongoing fascination with the route and Randy's recent travels through California, Arizona, and New Mexico. They explored the challenges and variations in maintaining the original route across different states, highlighting efforts in California and the difficulties in Arizona and New Mexico. Randy shared insights about the route's presence in Navajo tribal lands, noting the remnants and trading posts along the way, while both expressed frustration over the lack of official recognition and signage for Route 66 in some areas. Route 66 in New Mexico The discussion focused on Route 66 in New Mexico, particularly around Gallup, which was described as a former commercial and rail hub for the Navajo Nation. The conversation highlighted the differences between New Mexico and Arizona's architectural styles, with New Mexico having a distinct Spanish and Indian influence. They discussed the challenges of navigating Route 66, noting that while the signs were improved after Randy's first visit, some areas still lack clear routing information. Bubba and Randy also discussed the upcoming Centennial celebration on November 11th and the Four Corners monument, which Bubba had previously visited. Gallup New Mexico Visit Discussion Randy discussed his visit to Gallup, New Mexico, highlighting the El Rancho Hotel, a historic stop for Hollywood stars filming westerns, and Richardson's Trading Post, a century-old institution for Native American art. Bubba inquired about the 49er Lounge at the El Rancho, which Randy had not visited. They also talked about Gallup's four-lane Route 66, its split by the interstate, and its status as the "Indian capital of the world" dominated by Navajo art and culture. Century-Old Store Visit Experience Randy shared an experience visiting a century-old store in Richardson, where an employee allowed them to explore and take photos of the unique items, including vintage rugs, Kachina dolls, and an antique cash register. Bubba and Randy discussed the store's profitability, noting the high markup on items like rugs and the employee's reluctance to allow photos of the safe due to security concerns. Randy mentioned that approximately 1,000 U.S. businesses have been in operation for over 100 years, highlighting the longevity of some brands despite market changes. Route 66 Journey Discussion Randy described his journey along Route 66, highlighting the scenic high desert landscapes, abandoned buildings, and remnants of the historic route. He noted the survival of some old businesses and the presence of car graveyards with 1940s and 1950s vehicles. Bubba and Randy discussed the affordability of classic cars in the past, with Randy mentioning his difficulty in capturing the stories behind abandoned structures. They also discussed the population history of Grants, New Mexico, which saw a significant increase due to uranium mining in the 1950s and 1960s, and its current population decline. Route 66 and AI Discussion The discussion focused on the historical and current state of Route 66 towns, particularly Grants, New Mexico, and its connection to the uranium industry and Los Alamos. Bubba shared that Grants was founded in the 1880s by three Canadian brothers who built a section of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, and its economy later boomed due to uranium mining. The conversation then shifted to the role of AI in modern learning and memory, with Bubba and Randy discussing how AI could serve as an informational companion while driving, and the generational differences in technology adoption and social skills. Technology's Impact on Social Interactions Bubba and Randy discussed the impact of technology on social interactions, noting that while young people can communicate effectively online, they may lack face-to-face confrontation skills. They also talked about a woman who wanted to marry her AI, highlighting the growing trend of people seeking artificial relationships. Randy shared a story about the Santa Fe Loop, a section of Route 66 in New Mexico that was created after a political dispute, and expressed interest in driving the original route rather than the modernized version. Route 66 and Business Ideas Randy discussed the historical Route 66, focusing on La Bajada Hill, a challenging dirt road segment that was bypassed in 1937. He expressed interest in exploring the area further with a four-wheel drive vehicle and highlighted the potential for adventure tours in the region. Bubba shared information about the high number of Starbucks locations in Albuquerque and New York City, suggesting a potential business idea for Randy to document her visits to different Starbucks locations for sponsorship opportunities. Travel and Sports Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed their upcoming travel plans, including a trip to Alaska and exploring national parks. They also talked about Albuquerque, New Mexico, its attractions, and the history of Blake's Lotta Burger. Bubba mentioned his son's interest in baseball and spring training. Randy expressed frustration with the ownership of the Los Angeles Angels and his decision to boycott the team. They concluded by discussing the growth of their Facebook page and podcast, with Bubba mentioning plans to develop perks for subscribers. SO. MANY.

Midnight releases into early access later this week, and then full release next week, so for now the crew is pretty much just in waiting mode. Even if you didn't get early access, you can still get into the action because the pre-patch event will go on until the very last minute. In the meantime, there's also the Outland Cup, and the new Trading Post (which, as always, our cohosts have a ton of opinions about).Plus, the hosts would like to nap, which I can support, but they'd also like to nap while mounted and driving around which seems a little irresponsible.Oh, and by the way, there's going to be an Overwatch mobile game. Yeah, that was pretty much our reaction too.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

This week we're all about the WoW roadmap which came out last week, for both Retail and Classic eras. We'll discuss the newly announced game features Labyrinth and Prop Hunt, and speculate on the hinted at game mode appearing later in the year. There are patches to come, what might we see at BlizzCon in September, and even more small minutiae that was shared, like codes to share our Player Housing creations with other players.In terms of Classic, it's a little funny to our veteran players that MOP has content listed up til Siege of Orgrimmar in the summer, and then nothing (if you know you know).But there are also things happening right now, like the new Trading Post. Plus TBC Classic Anniversary just released, which makes it impressive that they'll see the Sunwell by the end of the year according to the roadmap.Most importantly to our crew is Roofus, a new, upcoming charity pet to benefit Habitat for Humanity, who is a very good boy indeed.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.
