Are You Okay with This?

**Hammer** (0:10)
Yeah, I'm fine.

Hammer, a 75-year-old man in Florida, arrested after pepper spraying a family at a pet store after he asked the kids if they wanted to pet his dog. Apparently, Marshall got upset when they ignored him. This old man named Marshall got upset when the kids ignored him and lit him up with pepper spray.
Here is a local Floridian talking about it.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:49)
This area is so safe. I just can't believe that happened here. I mean, I know, but things can happen to anywhere, but that's terrible for families and the kids at a pet store.

**Hammer** (0:59)
So let's do a little reenaction here. Let's do a little Hammer and Nigel Show Theater, okay? I'm going to play the role of a 75-year-old man. You're going to play the role of the kids, okay?
Hey, you want to come pet my dog?

**Nigel** (1:17)
No, no, thanks.

**Hammer** (1:20)
You son of a...
Tell your parents what you saw and seen. And look at the look of disgust on Allison's face right now. Look at that pure look of absolute horror on Allison's face. If you're watching the YouTube chat, this is why we have her on.

**Nigel** (1:44)
But what is the guy doing?

**Hammer** (1:46)
Well, he's clearly a lunatic. You invite someone to pet your dog.
Maybe they were taught, don't talk to strangers like we all were as a kid. They ignore him, and then he takes it personal and pepper sprays the bejesus out of him.

**Nigel** (2:00)
Well, to be fair, they were at a pet store. It wasn't like they were in the back alley somewhere, like between two bars.

**Hammer** (2:09)
Right. But if you go up to somebody's kids and say, hey, want to pet my dog, and they kind of look at you like, eh, I don't know you, and you said that really weird, and you kind of stink, and I see Werther's Originals falling out of your dentures.
You would ignore that person like you would normally do. It's not like these kids said, hey, old man, what you get the hell out of here. You look like Punky Brewster's grandpa. Oh, punky. Get the hell out of here.

**Nigel** (2:38)
Wow. Great Punky Brewster grandpa impression.

**Hammer** (2:42)
Punky Brewster's grandpa was also Commandant Lassard in the Police Academy movies.

**Nigel** (2:47)
Yes.

**Hammer** (2:48)
Oh, punky. You've got a dog named Brandon, punky.

**Nigel** (2:52)
Had a good time at that podium in the first movie. He did.

**Hammer** (2:55)
He did. Absolutely did.

**Nigel** (2:57)
A book. A book was removed from a British school.

**Hammer** (3:02)
Joe Biden's.

**Nigel** (3:04)
Yeah, that's that'd be on the list.

**Hammer** (3:07)
It's not out yet.

**Nigel** (3:08)
A book was removed from a British school after a mom read what it was all about. She took to TikTok to explain why she thinks the book Queen Anina's Feast is harmful to children.

**Jarrett Lewis** (3:25)
So it starts off with this queen putting on a feast. Fifteen queens come. Queen Jean had heaps of meat. Queen Nellie had heaps of jelly. But Queen Teenie Weenie did not eat.
So she's asked, what would you like to eat, Queen Teenie Weenie? One leaf.
One green leaf. Said Queen Teenie Weenie. Queen Teenie Weenie is then offered some tea and a sweet, which she refuses. In what world are we perpetuating these harmful ideas that Queen Teenie Weenie only wanted one leaf to eat?

**Nigel** (4:03)
Are you okay with this book being removed from school libraries?

**Hammer** (4:09)
I'm confused. Is Queen Teenie Weenie the same as Queen Anina because the book is called Queen Anina's Feast. Who's Queen Anina?

**Nigel** (4:18)
Well, Queen Anina is like the main queen, I guess. And then Queen Teenie, Queenie Teenie Weenie just just wanted to just showed up to the party and just wanted a leaf.

**Hammer** (4:29)
Well, then who is Queen Latifah?
Like, where does she rank in this hierarchy here? You've got Queen Anina, Queen Teenie Weenie, and Queen Latifah. I can't keep all of these royals together.

**Nigel** (4:42)
Now, let me ask you, I'm wondering if this woman would be so upset because, you know, Queen Teenie Weenie just ate the leaf in the book. Would she be as upset if a drag queen was reading it to her?

**Hammer** (4:56)
Oh, no, then they'd be having a celebration and a parade.
And is it really about eating the one leaf because that's not healthy? I'd almost have a bigger problem with the name Queen Teenie Weenie. Like, there's a lot of double entrande that you can do with that.

**Nigel** (5:11)
Sure.
