From somewhere in the middle of nowhere, this is the Rock and Roll Geek Show. This is the story of my rock and roll butler. Welcome to the Rock and Roll Geek Show.

00:00:22
My name is Michael Butler. Thanks a lot for joining me. I really appreciate it.

00:00:25
Today is Thursday, July 17th, 16th, July 26th, it is 9 or 4 p.m. when I'm recording this.

00:00:38
We're at a dive bar in Omaha, Nebraska called the Fontan Club. Supposedly this is one of the oldest bars in Nebraska. I'm here with Raquel, the undisclosed girl, the beautiful, beautiful undisclosed girl. We're in Omaha, Nebraska, this place is supposedly the oldest bar, it used to be one of the jockeys, there used to be a horse track, we're in Oscarbon District, whatever, Nebraska spelled backwards,

00:01:12
that's the name of this district we're in. You can hear some noise going on at the dive bar. There used to be a horse track here, supposedly, and all the jockeys used to hang out here and drink, but it's not, there's no horse track here anymore.

00:01:31
It doesn't get much diver than this place, but this is a good, we picked a good one here. And the owner seems like a nice guy, what's his name? Jace.

00:01:39
Jace, J-A-C-E. His great grandma opened it in the 1970s. Yeah, he said his great grandma bought this place in the 70s. Named, it's the Fan Tan Club, which is spelled F-A-N-T-A-N,

00:01:52
supposedly it's a Chinese card game of some sort. If you're Chinese, let me know what that is, rockandrollgeekatgmail.com.

00:02:01
We left Cheyenne, Wyoming this morning and drove seven, over seven and a half hours. That was one long drive. Last night we hung out with Dan Grossman, had a little too much to drink.

00:02:21
We went to a place called the Corner something, the Crown Bar. We had quite a few, the girl, the bartender there looked like she was about 18 years old. She had a nose ring and half her hair was white, half her hair was black, wearing shorts covered in tattoos, a little chubby, boobs hanging out, a little goth, kind of gothy looking.

00:02:44
It was a cool bar and we managed to pick some pretty good dive bars. We've been pretty good at it. We carry our own koozies with us.

00:02:54
It always impresses the people at these places when you bring your own koozie. Let me pro tip. We must have had about six or seven beers last night. I
