The Hammer and Nigel Presents is anything, anything.

SPEAKER_2 (0:06)

It depends upon what the meaning of the word is.

Hammer (0:11)

Is this anything?

SPEAKER_2 (0:13)

All right, let's rock and roll.

Hammer (0:15)

Yeah, brought to you by Indiana Unclaimed, presented by the Attorney General's Office in Indiana, reuniting Hoosiers with over $1 million in unclaimed property every single week, fast, easy and free to search at Indiana Unclaimed at dot gov.

Nigel (0:34)

You know who's doing wacky bits now, Nigel? Who's in Cookie Monster? Oh, Cookie Monster from Sesame Street's got a new parody song to inspire kids to go to the bathroom.

Get ready for got to go to the tune of Chappell Rhone's Hot to Go.

Hammer (1:13)

It's saying that it's time for party. Ah, much better.

SPEAKER_2 (1:26)

What that, buddy? Uh-oh, me got to go.

Hammer (1:31)

Yes, that's something. Come on. That reminds me to go party.

I would listen to that in my car on the way home over and over and over again. Now, did your kids watch Sesame Street when they were young? I did when I did, like, when I was a kid, for sure, going over to my grandma's house while my mom would drop me off and she would go to work and I go to my grandparents' house and just... Like, I know at some point it's become woke and really strange.

Nigel (2:03)

Right.

Hammer (2:04)

But, hey, the potty song, I'm all down with it.

Nigel (2:07)

I watched it as a kid like you did. My oldest watched it a little bit. My youngest, Jacob, thought it was stupid. Like, he never got into Elmo.

Hammer (2:17)

I can see that.

Nigel (2:18)

Never liked Bert and Ernie. Never liked Big Bird. Like, Jacob was my kid that could read full books by the time he was like five, six. So by the time he turned on Sesame Street, he was pissed off at the kids that didn't know the alphabet yet. So that's the way we did things in The Hammer House. David on the YouTube chat says that singer sounds like the singer for Corn.

Allison, do we have that Cookie Monster clip one more time? All right. So if you know the band Corn, got the life and all that, you know, hardcore stuff from the late 90s, early 2000s, close your eyes and tell me if this sounds like the lead singer of Corn.

Hammer (3:05)

Are you ready?

Nigel (3:11)

I hear it. I do.

By the way, I've been told by Amanda in our promotions department. Next week, we have tickets to Metallica and Limp Bizkit to get away.

Hammer (3:22)

Are you serious?

Nigel (3:24)

We got Metallica and Limp Bizkit tickets to give away. Killer next week, baby.

Is this anything? A fitness event in Beijing by a company called High Rocks may have lost millions of dollars in value after their last event. One of their athletes had a bowel issue. Did you see this during the event and soiled herself? She continued in the event and won it. But needless to say, High Rocks brand said that that was worth about one billion dollars in tainted ads.

She could have taken a lesson from the Cookie Monster. Oh no!

Hammer (4:04)

We got to go. Yeah, one more time, baby. It's saying that it's time for party.

Of course, this woman who soiled herself won. She pooped all over the place. Nobody's going to catch up with her after that, right? I'm not going to... Like they were doing burpees and stuff like that, going up and down off the... Did you see any of this? I did not. It was actually very gross.

Nigel (4:37)

See, when I hear somebody soiled themselves, I thought they just peed.

Hammer (4:41)

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. There was poo.

Nigel (4:44)

Oh, no.

Hammer (4:45)

And this was an athletic event.

Nigel (4:47)

No.

Hammer (4:48)

Where they were doing all sorts of different activities.

Nigel (4:52)

Right.

Hammer (4:52)

Racing each other, but but like doing like like burpees and push ups along the way. And I think at one point they had to stop and clean everything up because it was a health hazard.

Nigel (5:03)

Well, yeah, be a bio has.

Hammer (5:05)

Right. Now, that lady's the person still won. A Joanna Whitestrack or something was her name.

Nigel (5:14)

Maybe that was part of her strategy. Like sometimes if you're watching like a football game strategy, you'll see like offensive linemen get up to the line and physically throw up like they spray it outside of their helmets. Yeah. Yeah.
