Summary

Hey folks! Thanks for joining us at Hammer Lane Legends for another episode. Recently, we've run into some recording road blocks - between inclement weather and more recently Tony's mom and Brian's wife catching COVID-19, it's been difficult to get in to the studio for interviews. So, due to all those set backs, we are re-airing on our most popular episode to date, Sam from Episode 2: Hauling Fuel In Enemy Territory! Sam was a civilian driver, and worked closely with the military while he was overseas. From driving over landmines to dodging snipers, his stories were captivating and almost unreal! So buckle up and keep a look out for any flying debris during this special replay episode.

across the front of it, and jumped right off the side of the bridge in front of you.

0:16.1

The only people really pulled over were truckers.

He said, we're going hot, and he didn't slow down.

0:21.6

He went across the median onto the oncoming traffic,

0:25.6

but where they could see him come and they just got out of the way.

0:30.6

I noticed his plane was really low.

0:33.6

He went right in front of us, hit the fence, and it spun around. You know, 30 seconds more he could have hit us.

0:40.3

And I went around that truck and a guy, stepped out from behind the truck and threw a piece of wood

0:47.3

and shot through my window just like a spear and stuck in the back of the cab at my truck.

That's probably one of the stranger things I've seen.

Hey, everyone.

Welcome to Hammer Lane Legends.

1:10.7

And I'm filling in again for my dad and Tony

1:13.7

because we've had some complications here with our schedules over the past couple of weeks.

1:18.4

Obviously, we had some snow and, you know, mixed weather that kind of threw off the gig a little bit.

1:24.9

But at the same time, Tony's my mom, Brian's wife, she caught COVID.

1:31.1

So things have been a little bit complicated.
