**Nigel** (0:09)
Yeah, I'm fine. I'm pretty f***ing far from okay.
Hammer, you know who Richie Sambora is, right?
**Hammer** (0:23)
Hold on, I think we need to have a little context here before we get rolling.
For folks watching us on the YouTube stream, you will see some extra bodies in the studio right now. The folks from the Italian Fest, Italian Street Festival, they're setting up for the next segment.
**Nigel** (0:38)
So so good.
**Hammer** (0:40)
It smells so good in here.
**Nigel** (0:42)
I can't concentrate.
**Hammer** (0:43)
We got beer on the way. We got Italian food on the way. Like I can't concentrate, but go ahead.
**Nigel** (0:48)
Richie Sambora, of course, a famous for being the lead guitarist for Bon Jovi. Of course, a long time.
**Hammer** (0:55)
Is he the one that hits the background line? Wanted, wanted, dead or alive.
**Nigel** (1:02)
That's him. Richie Sambora, he's got a daughter who got married last month and they posted a fun video of him. Now, he's no longer with, by the way, just I don't think he plays the Bon Jovi.
**Hammer** (1:12)
They have beef, right? Don't they have some sort of?
**Nigel** (1:14)
I don't know if there's beef, but Richie's a big star. And I don't know if he went out on his own or what. But but Richie and his daughter, Ava, Ava got married and they posted this video of them singing with the wedding band, the wedding band at Richie Sambora's daughter's wedding performed a song from Bon Jovi's past. Here you go. Here's how it sounded.
**Hammer** (1:43)
It's a crowd favorite.
**Nigel** (1:46)
Yeah, you tell me.
**Hammer** (1:49)
Wait for it. Come on.
Yeah, I'm all right with this.
**Nigel** (2:01)
Are you OK with this, Richie Sambora?
**Hammer** (2:04)
Yeah, absolutely.
**Nigel** (2:04)
His daughter's wedding.
**Hammer** (2:06)
Weddings are a special event, especially if that's your daughter up there, right? Like, you want that night to be special. You want it to be perfect. And you want the party to rock. Like, I felt pressure when I was a wedding DJ. Like, I've probably DJed over 300 weddings in my life. I just recently retired last couple of years.
But man, like, when I got there, I was like, all right, everything's got to be perfect. They're paying me a lot of money. They're spending a lot of money. Let's throw a freaking party. And if you can get the crowd to sing along to a song that your old man's got history with, I think you'd do that. Yeah, heck yeah. I'm all right with that.

Arizona police sharing a video of officers and wildlife officials using a tarp to catch a tranquilized bear.
**Hammer** (2:51)
Oh, OK.
**Nigel** (2:52)
That was going to fall out of a neighborhood tree. Here's a little bit of that audio.
**Hammer** (3:00)
Oh.
**Nigel** (3:07)
Poor bear, are you OK with him tranquilizing a bear while it's still in the tree?
**Hammer** (3:11)
Yes, was you're rather tranquilizing when he's breaking down your front door, foam coming out of his mouth, Nigel? Yes, get him in the tree.
**Nigel** (3:18)
Or gnawing at your neck.
**Hammer** (3:20)
Correct.
Now, do you remember a number of years ago, there was a video that went viral of a bear that got hit with a trunk dart or a trunk gun or something, and it fell out of a tree and it landed on a trampoline and that stupid thing bounced back up and landed on the ground. Like lifeless body just falling, it was fine.
**Nigel** (3:41)
This one was a little more clumsy than that, I think.
**Hammer** (3:44)
Yes, like I love those types of animal videos. The bear falling out of the tree onto the trampoline, that ranks just below the crazy Australian dude who squares up on the kangaroo and punches him in the face.
Like that is my favorite animal video of all time. Now, this isn't technically a shooing away bear, so we will not do great moments in shooing away bears. Maybe we need to have great moments in tranquilizing bears' history.
**Nigel** (4:12)
I like that one. Keep that in mind next time.
**Hammer** (4:14)
Deal.
**Nigel** (4:15)
All right. If the nation, the 250th birthday isn't enough for you, all right, 250 years this summer hammer for this nation, if that's not enough, get ready because it's the launch of Hot Pockets snack breaks.
**Hammer** (4:32)
It's about time.
**Nigel** (4:33)
Anything with Hot Pockets, right?
**Hammer** (4:35)
Right.
**Nigel** (4:36)
They're described as bite-sized squares of pure awesomeness for all day, every day snacking. Go ahead.
I thought that's what they were already. Little awesomeness, bite-sized squares.
