FEUD: Trump vs Mellencamp

**Hammer** (0:02)
You're listening to The Hammer and Nigel Show.
My name is Nigel, Jason Hammer, right over there. We've got a feud. That's the feud music, Donald Trump versus Johnny Cougar Mellencamp. Cougar. Johnny Cougar. Last time I saw John Mellencamp, I didn't go this latest time at Ruoff, which I hear was actually a pretty good show. The last time I went was like 2015 with my dad at the field house, and he did like some lounge act and like was singing his songs in a like a...

**Nigel** (0:39)
I was born in a small town.

**Hammer** (0:41)
That's exactly it. It was so stupid.
Some of his songs he put into a medley. Oh, that's the worst.

**Nigel** (0:48)
They hit medley.

**Hammer** (0:49)
They hit medley? No, they're not going to sing them individually.

**Nigel** (0:52)
Prince used to pull that crap.

**Hammer** (0:54)
Now that was back in 2014, 2015
I know he's on some Johnny Cougar's on some... He doesn't go back Cougar again, does he?

**Nigel** (1:05)
No, he's changed his name.

**Hammer** (1:06)
Yeah.

**Nigel** (1:07)
Which brings us to this feud here, because that's an interesting point.
So Mellencamp was on stage, I think, in Cincinnati. I'm sorry. No, this was in New Jersey. In New Jersey. And there's a line where he says, and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico. Well, it's not called the Gulf of Mexico anymore. It's called the Gulf of America. And Cougar wanted to stop the show and make fun of the fact that Trump changed the name.
What a stupid f***ing idea that is.

**Hammer** (2:15)
Let me say what a stupid f***ing idea that is.

**Nigel** (2:18)
Correct.

**Hammer** (2:18)
Gulf of America.

**Nigel** (2:19)
Right.

**Hammer** (2:20)
Because when Trump signed the executive order to change it from Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, a bunch of people got their panties in a wad.

**Nigel** (2:27)
Cougar being one of them.

**Hammer** (2:28)
And just because it was Donald Trump.

**Nigel** (2:30)
Right. So the White House clapped back, quote, Nobody in their right mind cares what out of touch woke celebrities have to say. It was a simple statement. It was put out on truth. It was also a press release from the official White House account. Nobody in their right mind cares what out of touch woke celebrities have to say. Now, for those of you scoring at home, I want to make sure we're all on the same page here.
The guy that changed his name from Johnny Cougar to John Cougar to John Cougar Mellencamp to John Mellencamp didn't like the fact that the Gulf of Mexico changed their name to the Gulf of America.

**Hammer** (3:13)
Oh, I didn't think about it like that.

**Nigel** (3:15)
The guy that changed his name more than anybody I know has a problem with name changes, apparently. So take that for what you will.
