Are you really okay?

SPEAKER_2 (0:04)

Are you okay? Everything's gonna be okay.

Hammer (0:07)

Are you okay?

SPEAKER_2 (0:08)

Are you okay?

Hammer (0:09)

Yeah, I'm fine.

SPEAKER_2 (0:11)

I'm pretty far from okay.

Hammer (0:14)

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

SPEAKER_2 (0:18)

Okay!

Hammer (0:20)

Hammer, during Homecoming Week, a high school athletic coach in Illinois caught students TPing his house on his ring camera, but he responded to them through the speaker. It's a good sport about it.

Hello, boys.

Nigel (0:41)

Guys!

Hammer (0:43)

What's up, Mr. Bylich?

Make sure you do a nice job. They're all in the trees right now.

Nigel (0:53)

I got the front porch.

SPEAKER_2 (0:54)

All right.

Hammer (0:55)

Have fun.

SPEAKER_2 (0:56)

Be safe. Good win.

Hammer (1:00)

Are you okay with all that?

Nigel (1:01)

Yeah, I'm all right with that. Everybody seems like it's a good sport. I remember back when we were in high school, if we had a big win, we would go out late and toilet paper our defensive coordinators house, Coach Crook, and he was awesome. We loved Coach C, and we would TP his house, and he'd get to practice the next day and just look at us and go, you sons of bleep.

Hammer (1:25)

Why the coordinator? Why the defensive coordinator? I play defense. Oh, I see. Okay, I got you.

Nigel (1:30)

And he was just a dude's dude, man.

Hammer (1:34)

Okay.

Nigel (1:34)

Just an awesome guy.

This was before all these rules and regulations came in. He would suit up and practice. And I don't think you were supposed to do this, but he would suit up and practice and go out there and just like bust people up, man. He was a beast. And yeah, no, he was a great sport about it. So, yeah, I like this. This is a heck of a lot better than kicking open somebody's door, like in that stupid door kick challenge. I like that a good old TP still exists.

Hammer (2:03)

Oh boy, a lot of talk continues over the Grammy's best new artist, Olivia Dean. Have you heard of Olivia Dean, Allison?

Nigel (2:14)

Yes, she has a great voice.

Hammer (2:16)

I love her. Olivia Dean, quote unquote, has borrowed from Bill Withers classic, Just the Two of Us, a music company that oversees Bill Withers' catalog is suing for plagiarism. We kind of made this mashup of their two vocals. Go ahead.

Well, there are some similarities there. Are you OK with this?

Nigel (3:20)

Yeah, I mean, I guess the lawsuit can continue.

But I keep going back to this. If Vanilla Ice got away with ripping off Queen by simply adding the ding, then then then then then then right. But just doing that, then I don't know what courts are going to decide. Allison, what did you think? They also slowed her song down. That's not how the original sounds.

So I think this is a big stretch. I think the family or someone behind it is just looking for money.

Hammer (3:51)

I hate these things.

Nigel (3:52)

And honestly, they left out the best version of just the two of us.

Hammer (3:57)

Is that right?

Nigel (3:58)

Dr. Evil and Mini Me.

My hurt and my pain don't make me too appealing. That's the best version of the song, if you ask me.

Hammer (4:13)

How did you remember that?

Nigel (4:16)

And Mini Me has the deep voice. You and I.

Hammer (4:19)

It's impressive. A woman from Australia is going viral for sharing a clip of her wedding, where her guy, dude she was marrying, forgot her name and accidentally referred to her sister's name.

SPEAKER_2 (4:36)

Take thee, take thee, Emily Grace Pumphrey, Emma, Emma Grace Pumphrey.

Hammer (4:45)

Are you okay with that little flub there?

Nigel (4:47)

I'm okay with it because I think it was staged. I think they wanted to go viral. Everybody that goes viral now, I have such little faith that it's organic. I think they worked this out, or one of his buddies were like, I'll give you 500 bucks if you call it your sister, 500 bucks.

Hammer (5:05)

Deal.

Nigel (5:06)

I don't believe that this was organic for a single minute. Not at all.
