The Hammer and Nigel Presents is anything, anything.

It depends upon what the meaning of the word is.

Yes.

SPEAKER_1 (0:11)

Is this anything?

Wendy (0:13)

All right, let's rock and roll.

SPEAKER_1 (0:15)

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.

Is this anything? Shaquille O'Neal, now an honorary FBI special agent.

SPEAKER_1 (0:49)

Is that right?

SPEAKER_2 (0:51)

After graduating from the FBI National Academy, he trained alongside law enforcement professionals during his speech. He requested a favor from the feds.

Wendy (1:02)

I just want to say I appreciate you guys so much.

SPEAKER_2 (1:05)

I love you and thank you very much. And if you see Charles Barkley, arrest him.

SPEAKER_1 (1:14)

He told, he said, arrest Charles Barkley if you see him.

SPEAKER_2 (1:17)

If you see Charles Barkley, arrest him.

SPEAKER_1 (1:19)

Like, and Shaq, I feel like, I don't know, he's been like a sheriff in some of the places he's lived.

SPEAKER_2 (1:27)

He's been involved in law enforcement, his adult life. Yeah.

SPEAKER_1 (1:31)

In the fact that he gets to go and do the FBI training is pretty cool. And and no, I'm OK with this. I'm I'm this is something for sure. I would want Shaq. I don't know if I want to see Shaq breaking down my door.

SPEAKER_2 (1:48)

I, you know, I think I kind of would.

I know we're making meth in here, honey. But look, Shaq's outside. This is kind of cool.

SPEAKER_1 (1:56)

Is it not? Selfie.

SPEAKER_2 (1:59)

Shaq, I've told the story before. Back when I was sports director, you know, locker room nerd, I used to have to go into all the locker rooms and the Pacers and Colts games and stick mics in the players faces. Shaq was always one of the coolest, like even after losses, like if the Pacers beat the Lakers or if they beat the Heat when he was on the Heat, we'd go in there and, you know, he'd be like, whatever you want, talk to me. Let's go. Like other guys, other guys were kind of A-holes. Kobe was kind of an A-hole. Some others were A-holes. LeBron an A-hole. But Shaq, you know, he'd make sure everybody got your sound bite. And he knew that you had a job to do. He was super cool about it. I don't know. I thought that was just kind of a cool thing about Shaq.

Is this anything? A Wisconsin woman found a giant snake inside the hood of one of her cars. Oh, luckily, a professional was nearby that was able to remove it safely.

Here's the owner of the car, Wendy, and the snake wrangler, Cindy.

Wendy (3:02)

When we opened the hood, he was laying right up here, coiled up on top. We noticed that there was something large sitting right up here on the engine. He thought that it was a hose at first as well. But once it turned around and started looking at us, it was time to move away from the car.

Cindy (3:17)

Basically, what I did was, I climbed up on the hood of the car and just kept irritating the snake and tickling it until it started moving.

SPEAKER_1 (3:24)

Tickling it? Tickling it. Snake wrangler? Yes, that's something for sure.

I've had rodents in, remember my man van?

SPEAKER_2 (3:35)

Oh, yes.

SPEAKER_1 (3:36)

Remember that white piece of Pacifica garbage that I had?

SPEAKER_2 (3:40)

Very masculine.

SPEAKER_1 (3:41)

Very emasculating, actually. And rodents would get into that thing all the time. Never had a snake inside the engine before, though.

SPEAKER_2 (3:51)

Rodents got in your man van and said, Let's get out of here. This isn't safe for us in here.

Now, Allison, you have had snakes. We've talked about this before, like on your ring cameras, on your door.

SPEAKER_1 (4:05)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_2 (4:05)

Like when you come home at night. So being the one that has to deal with this, are you the official snake wrangler of The Hammer and Nigel Show? Well, I've never considered tickling one.

Cindy (4:17)

So maybe I'll try that next time.

SPEAKER_2 (4:19)

I usually just let them be. But yeah.

SPEAKER_1 (4:22)

Yeah, that footage that you have of that snake coming out of your lighting fixture when you were getting home is pretty terrifying.

SPEAKER_2 (4:29)

Yeah, right on my screen door. It was about six foot long.

SPEAKER_1 (4:33)

Yeah.
