The Hammer and Nigel presents is anything, anything.

SPEAKER_2 (0:06)

It depends upon what the meaning of the word is.

SPEAKER_3 (0:11)

Is this anything?

SPEAKER_4 (0:14)

All right, let's rock and roll.

SPEAKER_1 (0:15)

And 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 at Indianaunclaimed.gov.

Is this anything in what's being dubbed the first human versus robot fight?

Influencer Frankie LaPenna ended up getting beat pretty badly in the ring by remote controlled humanoid robot. Here's the introduction and the reaction when the robot knocks Frankie on his can.

SPEAKER_4 (0:58)

For the first time in history, a human faces off against a 6-foot tall robot. Dude, I'm scared for you.

SPEAKER_2 (1:18)

And this robot's just beating the hell out of him.

SPEAKER_1 (1:21)

Pummeling him. And you could hear the crowd, Oh!

I don't know why you want to fight a robot made of metal. I don't care if you're wearing some sort of boxing gloves or helmet or whatever.

SPEAKER_2 (1:38)

Right.

SPEAKER_1 (1:39)

Now, we had a story a couple of weeks ago. This intrigues me. I'm not interested in the guy fighting the robot.

That's that's that's he's going to lose every time. But I we had the story of the guy that fought the or wanted to fight a gorilla.

SPEAKER_2 (1:56)

Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_1 (1:59)

That's not which I think is equally as disastrous. But a gorilla will rip your face off.

SPEAKER_2 (2:08)

Right.

SPEAKER_1 (2:09)

And there's precedent for that.

SPEAKER_2 (2:11)

They are a violent critter once they get agitated.

SPEAKER_1 (2:17)

You you annoy a gorilla. You're getting your face ripped off. And it's happened in real life before. Remember that poor lady down in the south? Oh, I mean, it it was. And now this guy wants to fight a gorilla.

You're you're not winning that fight. I don't care how much you've trained for MMA.

SPEAKER_2 (2:37)

And who sanctions that? Who's the sanctioning body that says I'll allow it?

SPEAKER_1 (2:43)

I think somebody I think it was going to happen overseas, if that tells you anything.

SPEAKER_2 (2:49)

Sounds more like a Bangkok kind of thing. Got it.

Is this anything?

SPEAKER_1 (2:54)

Yep.

SPEAKER_2 (2:55)

GLP one patients are reporting some interesting side effects, one of them being permanent eye damage and vision loss. Oh, no, that's not good. Here's personal injury attorney Maria, who's involved in one of the lawsuits.

SPEAKER_3 (3:12)

We have gotten around close to 200 calls. There's so much fear and unknown and they want answers. And, you know, these are not minor side effects.

SPEAKER_1 (3:24)

Well, you're talking about the weight loss drug, right? Right.

SPEAKER_4 (3:28)

The fat shot.

SPEAKER_1 (3:29)

He's taking the fat shot. Quite honestly, it hasn't worked.

SPEAKER_2 (3:33)

He's still fat.

SPEAKER_1 (3:35)

The now I you and I both have experience with that. I haven't had any adverse side effects, maybe a little bit of nausea here and there, but I've never. I haven't lost any eyesight. Now, I will say the things that are on Facebook, the social media stuff that you see advertised on on on X and social media, that's where it gets a little sketchy.

SPEAKER_2 (4:01)

Yes.

SPEAKER_1 (4:02)

For me.

SPEAKER_2 (4:03)

OK, so you mean you can't just rub baking soda all over your crotch. And next thing you know, you look like shack down there. That's not how it works. Is that what you're telling me?

SPEAKER_1 (4:14)

I'm not telling you that explicitly, but sure. Yeah, that makes sense.

SPEAKER_2 (4:19)

Yeah, because I've seen that thing pop up on X before. The baking soda trick. And if you believe that, here's the Nigerian prince who wants to send you his inheritance.

SPEAKER_1 (4:29)

Hammer, I've never seen the baking soda trick.

SPEAKER_4 (4:33)

Never really.

SPEAKER_1 (4:35)

How do you do it? Maybe I'll try it.

SPEAKER_2 (4:37)

There's supposed to be some sort of thing where you mix baking soda with something else and you rub it on yourself in the shower. And the next thing you know, you're Tommy Lee.

SPEAKER_1 (4:54)

You know, first of all, I don't need that. Of course not fine. Yes. In that area.

But I've never heard of that before. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

SPEAKER_2 (5:03)

You ever seen that, Allison, when you're scrolling through social media?

SPEAKER_3 (5:07)

No, not at all.

SPEAKER_2 (5:08)

I have no idea what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_1 (5:10)

Is there is baking soda involved?

SPEAKER_2 (5:11)

Baking soda is involved. Yes. And for some low, low price, if you click on the link, you'll be able to get the formula and the recipe and everything that you need. And the Nigerian prince will deliver it firsthand right to your front door.
