Summary

In Episode 91: Time Slip Off I80, Brian and Tony have a conversation with Bob, a long haul trucker. In Bob's travels, he has seen many different things, kept several log books, driven with his wife, and spent hours at the wheel. However, the main story that Bob joins us to share is anything but ordinary! On what seemed to be just another long day, Bob was searching for a place to grab a bite to eat, when he happened upon a small 1950's-style diner. He stopped his truck, ate inside, and paid for his food. But, shortly after leaving, Bob realized the diner was no normal restaurant... We'll let Bob tell you the rest! So buckle up and get ready for a trip through time as Bob drives us in and out of decades.

Hey everybody before we get into this week's show, I just want to let you know that we are changing the days we broadcast Hammer Lane Legends from Mondays to Wednesdays.

0:15.1

So just letting you know that this is probably going to be the last time you hear us on a Monday.

0:19.0

We're moving to Wednesday so that Jack, the producer, has more time to flip shows because he's now producing Hammerlane

0:24.8

Legends and also my other show, The Confessional. So he has to produce probably between three

0:30.5

to four, sometimes even five podcasts a week. So he's got his hands full. So we're trying to help

0:36.4

him out and give him some more time. So he'll be producing and dropping these shows on Wednesdays, not Mondays. Now, let's get to

the show.

He put it in park through over the driver's door, ran out the side of the car, crossed the front of it, and jumped right up the side of the bridge in front of you.

0:59.0

The only people really pulled over were truckers.

1:02.0

He said, we're going hot and he didn't slow down. He went across the median onto the oncoming traffic, but where they could see him come and they just got out of the way.

1:13.6

I noticed his plane was really low. He went right in front of us, hit the fence, and it's

1:19.6

spot around. You know, 30 seconds north could have hit us.

1:23.6

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

1:30.5

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

1:37.2

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