Hammer and Nigel.

SPEAKER_2 (0:02)

You believe these characters?

Nigel (0:03)

They're weird of us.

SPEAKER_2 (0:04)

So let's rock it!

Nigel (0:06)

Oh, man, Hammer, we're counting down until the midterms! Woo! Earlier this year, you and I were talking about the midterms, like it was like just this mirage, this oasis that really wasn't coming anywhere close to the timeframe that we had in mind.

Hammer (0:28)

We're six months away.

Nigel (0:30)

Exactly.

SPEAKER_2 (0:31)

That's half a year!

Nigel (0:32)

All of a sudden, it's weeks away. And then I'm seeing all over my neighborhood, I don't know about yours, all these signs, all these political signs saying vote for this, vote for that.

Hammer (0:45)

Well, hell, coming up tonight after our show at 7, exactly. We've got the debate, the Secretary of State debate airing here on 93WIBC. So the signature race for Hoosiers in the midterm, we've got your debate for that. But looking out across the country, some very interesting races that are going to dictate the House and the Senate, key states, Nebraska, Texas, Ohio.

President Trump out on the stump, he was in Nebraska yesterday. And, you know, when you're in that part of the country, you talk about agriculture, you talk about corn, you talk about cattle.

Nigel (1:31)

We got great corn out here.

Hammer (1:33)

Corn Huskers. That's what they're called, the Corn Huskers. Cignetti is going to kick their ass.

But no, somebody like did a follow up and asked him like a wacky question. Hey, Mr. President, what's your favorite type of steak? You know, we got good cattle here in Nebraska. What's your favorite type of steak? And in typical Trump fashion, he couldn't just answer the question. He had to crap all over Texas Senate candidate Talarico.

SPEAKER_2 (2:04)

Well, I think Porterhouse is excellent. Honestly, I like them all. Unlike Talarico in Texas, where he's a vegan and all of a sudden he eats steak and he's not happy. He goes and throws up after he eats it. He's not, this is a vegan. This is a guy that likes lettuce, not steak, but with me, I think there's no doubt about it. I'm off his steak.

Nigel (2:26)

He goes and throws up after he eats it?

I had not heard that. Oh, my God Almighty, that's hilarious. OK, and this is Talarico's bulimic.

Hammer (2:40)

He doesn't like steak. He's going to throw it up.

OK, so a little inside baseball here, Nigel, did you hear the song that was playing in the background? Did you pay attention to the song?

Nigel (2:53)

Yeah, was it? Yeah, maybe.

Hammer (2:55)

Allison, one more time.

SPEAKER_2 (2:57)

Well, I think Porterhouse is excellent. Honestly, I like them all, unlike Talarico in Texas, where he's a vegan.

And all of a sudden he eats steak and he's not happy. He goes and throws up after he eats it. He's not this is a vegan. This is a guy that likes lettuce, not steak. But with me, I think there's no doubt about it. I'm off a steak.

Hammer (3:18)

Do you know what it is?

Nigel (3:19)

I can't get past three. He likes lettuce, not steak. I don't I thought it was Goods and Roses, but November Rain. Is that what it was?

Hammer (3:27)

That's what was playing in the back. OK, because it's well known that when Sarah Huckabee Sanders was Trump's press secretary, this was like a story that she's told. Trump was back in the Oval Office and he got like on the intercom. Sarah, come here. You got to hear this.

And Sarah Sanders runs in there. What are we at war with Iran or are we bombing Afghanistan? Nope.

He made her watch the November Rain video from Guns and Roses. I walked this plate at rallies. I love this song.

Nigel (3:58)

It's a very famous story. I want to play November Rain at the next rally. Make it happen, Sarah.

Hammer (4:05)

I love Guns and Roses.

Love November Rain. Like, I think Sarah put that in one of her books, like her memoir. I came running in there expecting a war to be broke out, and I had to watch the November Rain video with Trump.

Nigel (4:21)

I mean, that's which which is better, that or Donald Trump offering Chris Christie the meatloaf?

Hammer (4:30)

Demanding that he take the meatloaf.

Nigel (4:32)

Demanding you can order whatever you want. The menu is awesome, but you're going to have the meatloaf. Fatty.

Hammer (4:40)

So President Trump was out in Nebraska on the stuff.
