The Hammer and Nigel presents is the song, anything, anything. It depends upon what the meaning of the word is.
Is this anything?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:13)
Alright, let's rock and roll.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:14)
Oh yeah, we're brought to you by Indiana Unclaimed, 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 to search at indianunclaimed.gov.

**Nigel** (0:31)
Is this anything? A man from West Virginia was arrested after stealing $17,000 worth of Little Debbie snacks, $17,000 worth of Little Debbie's. It sounds like he was caught trying to offload the Little Debbie's at a flea market.
Here's the detective talking about the caper.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:57)
One of their delivery drivers was fraudulently issuing invoices to three different stores without delivering product. We heard he was around some local flea markets in the area. They knew right off the bat that something wasn't adding up because when they got billed for the invoice, they don't pay it out without scanning the product first. So they didn't have the product to scan. So they disputed the invoices with McKee Foods.

**Nigel** (1:20)
$17,000 worth of Little Debbie's.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:23)
Imagine buying Little Debbie's from a guy at a flea market and thinking, Oh, yeah, this is legitimate.
What a palette of Nutty Buddies for 50 bucks. Sure, I'll take it. Oatmeal cream pies, they pay.

**Nigel** (1:37)
I know you're being facetious, but I'm thinking that actually sounds like a great deal. You don't think the coupon lady wouldn't come home and say, I got a palette of Swiss cake rolls for five dollars.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:49)
Oh, it was a real Swiss roll operation there, man.

**Nigel** (1:53)
Oh, the oatmeal cream pies, the zebra cakes.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:59)
$17,000 worth.

**Nigel** (2:01)
That's a lot. Allison, if you're going Little Debbie snack cakes, what's your go to? Cosmic Brownie every time. Cosmic Brownie. Yes, I love them. I'm a big chocolate person or the fudge rounds.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:13)
Those are good. I love the fudge rounds. Not as popular as the oatmeal cream pies. And I recently just discovered, I know I'm a rookie here because I've been eating them all my life, as you can tell. But the oatmeal cream pies, frozen and or cold, are even better.

**Nigel** (2:28)
OK, I'm like that with candy bars, a cold candy bar better than a warm candy bar.
Have you had the double oatmeal cream pie? I mean, it's just it basically is the same thing, but it's got more stuff in it. And it's got Wilford Brimley's face. It says diabetes on the top of it, but it's so good.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:47)
And I can't go. I love a good Swiss roll.

**Nigel** (2:50)
It is all those dueling Swiss roll packets, like the little chocolate coating when it kind of falls off the Swiss cake roll.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:57)
And oh, man, really, $17,000. Is it like this guy should have offloaded this for like at least 50 grand to the Hammer House.

**Nigel** (3:07)
Just bring it up here in front of the Urban One building.
Great moments in stealing snacks history. This is when Chris Farley and his gang stole all the lunches in Billy Madison.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:20)
It was fun.

**Nigel** (3:21)
Somebody stole all our lunches.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:24)
Who would steal 30 bag lunches?

**SPEAKER_2** (3:29)
Farley, I'll tell you who took those lunches. That damn sasquatch.

**Nigel** (3:35)
Farley, Norm McDonald, and his other buddy.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:39)
I was watching that on Comedy Central over the weekend, by the way. Billy Madison? Oh, yeah. Still holds up.

**Nigel** (3:45)
Is this anything? Workers have begun the process of removing thousands of gallons of rotting fish sauce from a Canadian plant that was abandoned 20 something years ago.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:59)
What?

**Nigel** (4:00)
20 year old rotten fish sauce.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:03)
Oh, I have a feeling that's what it smells like when you walk in a Joy Behar house. Geez, lady, it smells like rotting fish sauce in here.

**Nigel** (4:13)
Here is the minister of the environment in Newfoundland.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:18)
The people of St. Mary's can take their town back away from this fish sauce. We couldn't be more proud than to be standing here today and watching this fish sauce leave this community.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:28)
Could you imagine being tasked with the job of going into something that's been rotting for 20 years and removing it? Like, that's your first day on the job, for sure. That's there are a bunch of rookies removing the rotting fish sauce.

**Nigel** (4:43)
Miss Behar, you're not going to get your deposit back.
I'm a sucker for a Behar joke, Nigel. You had me enjoy Behar. It's The Hammer and Nigel Show.
