Emma and Nigel present is the song.
**Nigel** (0:06)
It depends upon what the meaning of the word is.
**Hammer** (0:09)
Yeah.
Is this anything? All right, let's rock and roll. Oh yeah, brought to you by Indiana Unclaimed. It's a program presented by the Attorney General's Office here in Indiana, reuniting Hoosiers with over $1 million in unclaimed property every single week. Hammer, fast, easy, and free to search indianunclaimed.gov.

Is this anything?
Keystone Light, celebrating America 250 with a Fourth of July promotion that includes a weekend getaway in Florida, a backyard barbecue, and a World War II fighter plane flying overhead. All of it for $250.
**Hammer** (0:51)
What?
**Nigel** (0:52)
Now, here's the bad news. Only one person can book this experience, and it sounds like the fridges will be stocked with Keystone Light's Apple beer.
**Hammer** (1:02)
Good with that.
**Nigel** (1:03)
Check out their commercial.
**Hammer** (1:41)
How epic it would be to just have a backyard barbecue and have somebody do a flyover for it. I know this is some sort of promotion where you have to...
You go to Florida and they throw you a barbecue, and it's all pre-planned. But I love the idea. It's such a great idea of having a backyard barbecue out in your own backyard and having a flyover. Once you put the meat on the grill or something and have everybody salute or something.
**Nigel** (2:15)
That's the next step in the Hammer family Fourth of July backyard firework show, flyover. I need to pull some strings or find a hillbilly with a plane.
**Hammer** (2:27)
Yeah, does it have to be a fighter jet?
**Nigel** (2:30)
No.
**Hammer** (2:30)
Could it be like a twin prop?
**Nigel** (2:32)
Drunk uncle in a crop duster, like just very shaky, you know, maybe you hear a crash later on type of plane. Denny Smith has a gyrocopter. He does.
**Hammer** (2:44)
That's right.
**Nigel** (2:45)
Dude. He would do it.
Have like an awesome star spangled banner, maybe the Fergie version. And then Denny Smith and his little weird contraption flying above in the sky. Then we crank up James Brown's Living in America and the firework show begins.
**Hammer** (3:03)
Make it happen, Allison. You've got direct access to Denny Smith.
**Nigel** (3:08)
Will he carry a big banner that says Nigel sucks on the back of it? Can he? If it's patriotic, I'm sure he will.
**Hammer** (3:15)
The big American flag, Nigel's suck. I'll take it. I'll take it.
**Nigel** (3:19)
Is this anything? A village on New York's Long Island facing an unusual mayoral election where no candidates registered to run.
**Hammer** (3:29)
Shut up.
**Nigel** (3:30)
So now they have to do a write-in election. Here are the residents of the village talking about the situation.
**Hammer** (3:36)
It's ridiculous.
**Nigel** (3:37)
I've never seen anything like this.
**Hammer** (3:39)
Ask them to run for office, they don't want to do it. So they don't pay attention. When you don't pay attention, this is what happens.
**Nigel** (3:46)
Get a lot of people writing in people who are not qualified.
**Hammer** (3:49)
Some guy comes up there with 50 of his closest friends. He's your mayor.
If 100 people get one write-in each, it's a tie.
**Nigel** (3:57)
So it's a strange situation.
**Hammer** (3:59)
I mean, imagine.
**Nigel** (4:00)
Sounded like somebody from The Sopranos. He's your mayor.
**Hammer** (4:03)
This is something for sure. And it's good to know we're not the only ones going through something like this. Now, I don't know what a village in Long Island looks like or what it takes, but you can't find one person to run and campaign. You know this, this kind of pain, don't you, Hammer?
**Nigel** (4:24)
My primary ballot was pretty damn blank. When I went to go vote on the Southwest side. Sheriff, there was nobody running for sheriff. Like there was nobody running for anything. Again, I feel like one of the bobs in office space looking at the Marion County GOP chair, Natalie Goodwin. What would you say you do here?
What would you say you do? This is the Hammer and Nigel Show.
