We're in Wyoming at a place called, Evanson, somewhere, somewhere in Wyoming. At a place called Highway 30 Tavern. 00:01:03 There are the all-star games going on right now. I had no idea the all-star game was happening. There are, it's kind of a dive bar, yeah it's pretty much a dive bar but they do serve food so we ordered some wings. 00:01:17 We got a cup, we're drinking a fine Corona, an undisclosed person and cheers. Cheers. Beautiful undisclosed person, do you feel like introducing yourself or do you still want to stay undisclosed? 00:01:33 Introduce myself. Do you want to give your name or do you want to stay undisclosed? I like to stay undisclosed. 00:01:38 We'll call her, um, Legit. We're going to call you Legit. I prefer Raquel. 00:01:47 Alright, Raquel. Raquel is the undisclosed person. We just ordered two Coronas. I'm going to make this short because I'm not going to stay here all night and do a podcast 00:01:55 but we drove, what did we do? We stayed in Winnemucca last night and drove to Elko, Nevada, ate at a Basque restaurant, pretty good Basque lunch, apparently there's a big Basque population in Elko, Nevada. I think there is in Winnemucca as well. We looked for a dive bar last night and we walked around, we were a little bit afraid 00:02:23 walking in the dark but we managed to make it back alive. The first place we were going to go to was the Butch Cassidy Hole in the Wall, Butch Cassidy Waterhole in the Wall, something like that. It looked shitty, it had fluorescent lights, so we said, ah, we'll look for somewhere else, maybe we'll go to the casino and on the way to the casino we found the perfect dive bar. 00:02:45 I don't remember what it was called, do you remember what it was called? Something tap room, but they didn't have any tap, oh, the Cheers Tap Room, but there was no tap, it was just a dive bar. That was a really good dive bar, so we had a good time, we had a few drinks and then came back to the room, left this morning and stopped in Elko, Nevada, had lunch, where we parked there was a strip club, it said, I forget what the name of it was, but it said Dancing and Diddling, and we're like, what's diddling, I don't know what that means, I 00:03:25 know what diddling means, it means, isn't diddling when you put your finger down there on the girl and you mess around with her, and I said, oh, huh, okay, it's a joke, then I looked to the left and there's a legal brothel right across the street and then there's an Asian legal brothel right next to that, one was called Ann's, what was it called, Mona's what, Mona's Dollhouse or something like that, Mona's Ranch, and then there was Anna's Ranch, 00:03:59 one had Chinese lanterns hanging out of it, hanging outside, and the other one didn't. So there were two brothels, then we walked over to have a nice basket lunch and got back on the road and here we are in Evans something Wyoming, moving right along in the Penske truck, friends, I don't think I got any donations, I haven't looked at the Venmo, but if you care to contribute, it would be much appreciated, I'm hoping to meet with Ken Grossman tomorrow, I'm not positive where we're gonna be driving through, I thought I was gonna be driving 00:04:36 through Boulder, Colorado, and I have to check, if I am, I'm gonna meet up with Ken Grossman, I don't know if I've ever met in person, if not we're gonna head up towards Chicago that way, I don't know, but look at the map and if I'm on that way friends, hit me up, I would love to meet you for a beer or stay on your couch or just to have some food, whatever, or we just shake hands, you can call me an asshole to my face and you can take a look at beautiful Raquel, the undisclosed travel companion. All right friends, that's gonna do it, I'm gonna close out with a song sent to me, we're doing all road songs, we are doing all road songs on this trip, 00:05:19 Kirk Crawford sent me a song, he said Michael Attach is one of my favorite Alvin Lee songs, from a solo album he did in 1973 while still leading 10 years after, and he did it with a country rock singer named Mylon Lefevre, all kinds of British rockers guest appeared on this album, including George Harrison, Steve Winwood, Ron Wood, Mick Fleetwood, among others.
