Caller Roulette, 6/30

**Matt Baer** (0:00)
Buckle up, anything can happen here.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:04)
Oh, hell yeah, let it ride!

**SPEAKER_3** (0:06)
Hammer and Nigel present Caller Roulette.

**Jason Hammer** (0:12)
Sometimes this is the best segment we do.
Other times, it's radio poison. That's why we call it Caller Roulette. I'm Jason Hammer. Jerry Lopez is here. He's filling in for Big Nige, and we've got a group of callers lined up. All we have is their name. I have no idea what they want to talk about, but we're going to fly blind. Are you ready to do this, Jerry?

**Jerry Lopez** (0:39)
This is when it gets dangerous.

**Jason Hammer** (0:41)
All we ask is if you're on hold, do not swear, keep it brief, and turn your radio down.
Eric is up first. Eric, easy E. What's up?

**SPEAKER_6** (0:53)
Sucking on a chili dog, sucking on a chili dog. Hugs. Singing, Hammer.

**Jason Hammer** (0:59)
Sucking on a chili dog, sucking on a chili dog.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:03)
Hell yeah, brother.

**Jason Hammer** (1:04)
Right on, Eric. That's a good way to start. That's a good way to start America 250 edition of Caller Roulette right there. Little sucking on a chili dog from Melon Camp.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:17)
All right.

**Jason Hammer** (1:17)
Let's see what Gary's got. Gary, what's on your mind?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:21)
Hammer and Jerry. Good afternoon.

**Jason Hammer** (1:26)
Good afternoon.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:27)
Hammer, you know how you're always doing these little games and you make Allison and Nigel try to guess goofy little things?

**Jason Hammer** (1:37)
Yes.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:38)
How about I pull one on you here?

**Jason Hammer** (1:41)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:42)
All right. Here's the game.
I'm going to give you a phrase from a famous radio personality. They're all deceased now, so it's not like competition or anything. But I want to see if you or Jerry or anybody can give me the name. Are you ready?

**Jason Hammer** (2:02)
Sure. Bring it on.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:05)
Now, you know the rest of the story.

**Jason Hammer** (2:11)
Is that Paul Harvey?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:12)
You got it.

**Jason Hammer** (2:13)
Let's go, baby. Let's go.
Come get some, baby.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:19)
This one might be easy, but maybe not. Here we go.
Talent on loan from God.

**Jason Hammer** (2:30)
Well, that would be Rush Limbaugh, right?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:33)
You got it. You're doing good. I got one more.

**Jason Hammer** (2:36)
Okay. Let's see if we can run the table here.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:38)
This goes back a little farther. Rounding third and heading for home.

**Jason Hammer** (2:46)
I believe that's the old left-hander Joe Nuxall on the Cincinnati Reds Radio Network.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:51)
Bang, you got it.

**Jerry Lopez** (2:53)
Hammer swept them. Don't come here with that noise.

**Jason Hammer** (2:56)
Mr. Radio, baby.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:57)
Radio nerd.

**Jason Hammer** (2:59)
Mr. Radio nerd. Gary, that was an awful lot of fun, my man. I appreciate that.
Jeff is up next. Jeff, what you got, brother?

**SPEAKER_6** (3:09)
Hey, guys. Love the show. Listen every day.

**Jason Hammer** (3:12)
Thank you.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:13)
This is the greatest country in the world bar none.
I'm with you. Everything worth having was invented here, from the car to the airplane to indoor plumbing to light bulbs to telephones to TVs to AC to refrigeration to the hot dog. It was all invented here because of capitalism and freedom. God bless America. That's all I have to say.

**Jerry Lopez** (3:47)
And don't forget the spandex and the hot sauce, two of my two faves.

**Jason Hammer** (3:51)
And all you can eat buffets and water parks.

**Jerry Lopez** (3:54)
America.

**Jason Hammer** (3:55)
That's what I'm talking about. Damn right, Jeff. I love it.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:58)
I love it. God bless America.

**Jason Hammer** (4:01)
God bless America. Matt is up next. Matt, what do you got? What do you want to talk about?

**SPEAKER_3** (4:08)
Well, I want to know why we don't have grape-flavored ice cream when we have grape-flavored everything else.

**Jerry Lopez** (4:15)
Well, the fun answer is because most of us are lactose intolerant and doesn't want people to eat grape. But the other answer is grape ice cream sounds kind of gross.

**Jason Hammer** (4:23)
Okay, I will give you crossfire on that. The flavor grape is actually pretty good when you have it compared with other flavors, like original Big League Chew, okay.
Grape Big League Chew, life-changing experience.

**Jerry Lopez** (4:37)
I mean, you've changed my mind a little bit now.

**Jason Hammer** (4:39)
Okay, right. And by the way, how awesome is Big League Chew?

**Jerry Lopez** (4:42)
I want to get some.

**Jason Hammer** (4:43)
Another reason America is the best country in the world.
