It depends upon what the meaning of the word is.

Is... This...

Anything...

Jarrett Lewis (0:14)

Alright, let's rock and roll.

Hammer (0:15)

Ladies and gentlemen, somebody's paying for this.

Nigel (0:17)

Uh-oh!

Todd Rakita, brought to you by Indiana Unclaimed, a program presented by the Attorney General's Office here in Indiana. The Attorney General's Office, reuniting Hoosiers with over one million dollars in unclaimed property. Every single week, HammerFast, easy and free to search it up. Just kind of type your name in there, type your mom, dad, sibling's name in there, indianaunclaimed.gov to see if there's any money floating around.

Nigel (0:45)

They're paying for this so you can get paid. That's how it works. Like Guy Relford found like over a thousand dollars in there. Jerry Lopez, Indy Spanglish, found some money in there. Look around. If you could use a little extra cash right before the holiday season gets rocking and rolling, might be sitting right there. Indianaunclaimed.gov. Is this anything?

A man picked a fight with somebody at a San Francisco beach but was unaware that James Hildalgo is a current martial arts teacher and ex-marine.

James had to let go of his dog and then pinned the man to the ground until the police came. Here's James.

James Hildalgo (1:29)

He said, are you calling me a dog? Because I had a dog, I guess. And I said, I don't know what you're talking about. And then he came in and tried to punch me. So then I pinned him down to the ground till the cops got here. I was in the United States Marine Corps. So I always know that there's protocols to all this. And you just have to let the professionals deal with what they do. Imagine a nanny with their kid here. Like what is she gonna do? He's a built guy and then he knew that he could just probably intimidate 90% of the people today. He just ran into the wrong person.

Hammer (1:56)

Once at San Francisco Beach, you gotta expect this douchebag was under some sort of psychosis, whether it be, you know, some laced marijuana or some hard drugs or something like that. And he just picked on the wrong guy. And the other thing you know about these guys, you know, they get approached and are shoved.

They, like these marines, these martial arts guys aren't going to do what you want them to do, which is beat the crap out of them, Hammer.

Nigel (2:32)

Right.

Hammer (2:33)

This James Hildalgo guy basically had to let his dog go that he was walking around with, hold the aggressor down to the ground and wait for the police. Now, I, of course, would have wanted him to see, or I would have wanted to see him just destroy this dude.

Nigel (2:51)

You want to see the MMA guy, not the marine.

Hammer (2:54)

I want to see the martial arts teacher. Well, yeah, an ex-marine. And good Lord, they just too much discipline here.

Too much, teach this guy a lesson.

Nigel (3:07)

You were hoping for what happened in 2019 on that Brazilian beach. If you remember, there was a story about an active MMA female fighter. I think her name was Joyce Vieira.

Hammer (3:19)

Yeah.

Nigel (3:20)

She was on a beach and some dude was a lewd, new dude and was trying to assault her. And that was a mistake.

Hammer (3:28)

Big mistake.

Nigel (3:29)

She did not hold back. She went full MMA and beat the living crap out of this dude. And then like basically choked him out until the police arrived where they arrested him.

Hammer (3:39)

I mean, between this guy's training as a marine and his martial arts, there's no way he's just going to pin the guy and hold him there like a little baby doll until the cops arrive. And I much would have rather seen the scenario you just talked about.

Nigel (3:55)

I mean, imagine you're this sexual deviant in Brazil. You just think, oh, there's a woman on a beach. I'm going to go be a total scumbag and do horrific things.

What are the chances it's one of the baddest women on the planet? Somebody Dana White pays a paycheck to and she just rocks your world, man. Just beats the living snot out of you.

Hammer (4:17)

That's what you want to see. A hundred percent these people a lesson.

Nigel (4:21)

Is this anything Wendy's long band T-rex Burger, which is a three thousand calorie, nearly thirty dollar item that includes nine beef patties, nine slices of cheese, it's back for a limited time in Oklahoma.
