It depends upon what the meaning of the word is, is this anything?

**Reverend Cannon Jean Baptiste Commons** (0:14)
All right, let's rock and roll.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:15)
Yeah, brought to you by Indiana Unclaimed, a program presented by the Attorney General's Office here in Indiana, reuniting Hoosiers with over $1 million in unclaimed property every single week. Fast, easy, and free hammer to search it up, indianunclaimed.gov.

I think I already know the answer to this, but I'll ask it anyway. Is this anything a French priest chased down an 18-year-old suspect who was accused of stealing a car before crashing it outside of St. Joseph Shrine in Detroit?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:46)
No kidding.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:48)
Reverend Cannon Jean Baptiste Commons was in his clerical attire when he saw the guy running from the scene, so he kicked into crime fighter mode, gave chase, held the dude down until the police arrived. Here he is with his story and an awesome tagline.

**Reverend Cannon Jean Baptiste Commons** (1:07)
Grabbed him, put him down. He was resisting a lot, trying to run away, definitely, and I had to, unfortunately, give him a few punches and hurt my hand a little bit. Nothing major, but making sure that there was no threat, since I didn't know if he had a gun, if he had a weapon. It was definitely suspicious behavior. And as soon as I had the police officers take care of this gentleman, I rushed back to the lady, make sure she needed the anointing of the six, a blessing or something. I was there too with the medics. Had to do my prayers as usual and have dinner with the community.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:35)
Wow.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:36)
Just another day.

**Reverend Cannon Jean Baptiste Commons** (1:36)
Just another day in the D.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:40)
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Is this anything?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:44)
Just another day in the D. It has multiple meetings too, I think.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:50)
Wow.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:51)
I wonder if he made him confess, like when he tackled the guy, this priest, just punched him in the face, gave him a couple of punches. If you want to confess right now, go ahead. Or I could keep punching you in the face.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:01)
Right.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:02)
I think this is something for sure. And I'd love the taglines. Another day in the D.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:08)
Like you could have said so many things right there. The power of Christ compels you, bitch.
Like that's been awesome. That would have been amazing right there.
Like something out of a movie. That'd been awesome.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:22)
That is a rough road to redemption, ladies and gentlemen. That is quite the accomplishment. That's pretty cool.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:28)
So next time you're in this dude's church and you don't have anything in the tithing area, maybe think twice.
Is this anything viral video going around of what you don't want to happen in your cabin when you're on a cruise ship? Looks like they ended up staying on the poop deck.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:49)
What?

**SPEAKER_5** (2:49)
This was the noise we woke up to at 2 o'clock in the morning.
The bathroom smells horrible. Porter potty. So disgusting. We was calling the front desk for about 15 minutes. My fiance had to run downstairs to get somebody. I told them that we were moving the room. He asked, like, do you really want to move a room? Yes. And y'all are loud, vacuuming up water, trying to fix the plumbing.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:17)
I see what you did there with the poop deck.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:19)
You like that?

**SPEAKER_3** (3:20)
That's something for sure. I mean, this all the time, it's always something on a cruise ship. It's like, what do you do at 2 o'clock in the morning when your toilet is overflowing with sewage on a cruise ship and you can't get a hold of the front desk?
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, like I said, I've said it many times. A cruise is probably going to be the only way that I am able to see parts of the world I otherwise would never go see, like the Mediterranean cruise or the Alaskan cruise, or maybe like one of those riverboat cruises. But I just, man, you could either get salmonella, hantavirus, you could get the stomach flu, you could get your room filling up with sewage.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:07)
You realize you're talking about all the things that could happen at Luger Plaza downtown still, right? Like you could still see that at Luger Plaza downtown.

**SPEAKER_3** (4:16)
They're trying to clean that up from what I hear.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:18)
Trying. It's the Hammer and Nigel Show.
