Are you really okay with this?

SPEAKER_2 (0:05)

Are you okay? Everything's gonna be okay. Are you okay?

Nigel (0:10)

Yeah, I'm fine.

SPEAKER_2 (0:12)

I'm pretty far from okay.

Nigel (0:15)

Are you okay with this? On the Hammer and Nigel Show.

Yeah, so Hammer, there's this country music guy, Stephen Wilson Jr, right? He's playing this festival in California. This festival was started by Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam. And then Eddie Vedder comes out, surprises everyone by teaming up with Stephen Wilson Jr. And let me see, let's play this clip, see if you remember, you remember Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog? I'm going hungry.

Hammer (0:47)

Oh yeah, I remember that.

Nigel (0:49)

This, it was, he did it with Chris Cornell originally.

Hammer (0:53)

Right, that was like their side project band, right?

Nigel (0:56)

Yeah, Temple of the Dog was like a one-off band with Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell. But this guy is Stephen Wilson Jr. Listen to this clip, you tell me if you like it or not. Go ahead.

Hammer (1:34)

But I'll defer to you. I'm gonna take the hot potato, Nigel, and I'm gonna throw it back to you, because you're Mr. X103, you're Mr. Alternative. This is your wheelhouse, not mine.

Nigel (1:44)

I love the temple I love. the Dogg album. I love that song. It's one of my top, probably 20 songs of all time. But that one, Stephen Wilson Jr, he was singing the high part.

He was singing, as far as I know, he was singing Chris Cornell's part. And then Eddie Vedder was doing the lower, I'm going hungry.

Hammer (2:06)

Right.

Nigel (2:06)

And then Stephen Wilson Jr. I'm going hungry.

Hammer (2:11)

Nailed it.

Nigel (2:13)

I nailed it, didn't I, Allison?

Hammer (2:15)

I will say, if anyone hasn't listened to Stephen Wilson Jr., he's great.

Nigel (2:19)

Oh, you know this artist.

Hammer (2:21)

Yeah, I'm actually going to see him in December. He's a country rock guy.

SPEAKER_2 (2:24)

He's great.

Nigel (2:25)

Oh, I love what I heard right there. I don't-

Hammer (2:29)

Very talented. From Indiana, Southern Indiana.

Nigel (2:31)

You're kidding me.

Hammer (2:32)

I am not. Let's get him on the show.

Nigel (2:34)

When he comes, let's try to get him on.

Hammer (2:36)

Yeah, we'll see what we can do.

Nigel (2:37)

I am okay with this, Hammer.

Hammer (2:39)

Okay. Now, I, on the other hand, will take us down a different direction.

Nigel (2:43)

Okay.

Hammer (2:43)

Great moments in Eddie Vedder history, when he was hammered drunk and did Take Me Out to the Ball Game at a Cubs game.

Nigel (2:51)

Eddie Vedder.

Hammer (2:54)

All right. Let's sing it for Harry.

Come on, man. You got to say peanuts. You can't leave the tea out of there. Come on, man.

Nigel (3:26)

We'll speak into that. Let's fast forward to the last story here, Allison. Amber, her name is Amber Zebron of Illinois, is suing a downtown Las Vegas club called The Nerd.

She claims she was injured after falling off their mechanical crank.

Hammer (3:47)

Oh, so some places have a mechanical bull.

Nigel (3:51)

Yes.

Hammer (3:51)

This Las Vegas establishment had a mechanical male genitalia.

Nigel (3:58)

Peepee. A Pee...

A wiener. A Peter.

Hammer (4:03)

Yes.

Nigel (4:04)

A Peter.

Hammer (4:06)

There's your weekend montage, Allison. There's your Friday montage.

Nigel (4:11)

I just wasn't sure if I should say it.

Hammer (4:13)

Tally Whacker.

Nigel (4:14)

Yes.

Hammer (4:15)

He's running for Senate in Texas.

Nigel (4:18)

The complaint says that her foot. And her ankle got caught underneath the.

Well, the shaft area of the ride.

Hammer (4:29)

Sure.

Nigel (4:31)

And so she's suing for like 30 grand. And I don't know, like, are you OK with somebody suing for this?

Hammer (4:38)

If you're going to have a mechanical crank. Yes, you've got to make sure it's safe. You can't be having people get their foot caught up on a shaft. You can't be having people get their arm caught up on, you know, the frame or the beans. You got to make sure it's safe. Safety first when you're riding a mechanical crank. I've said that for years. Safety is paramount. And in honor of this story, which happened in Las Vegas, here's a Las Vegas Lounge edition of this story from Hammer and Nigel Records.

There it is.

Nigel (6:02)

Bravo.

Hammer (6:03)

Little lounge act.

Nigel (6:04)

That'll be stuck in your head.

SPEAKER_2 (6:36)

So, it's nice to hear some, I don't know what you call that, some crazy level of humor.

Hammer (6:42)

No one knows what we call that, but yes.
