The Hammer and Nigel presents...

SPEAKER_2 (0:06)

It depends upon what the meaning of the word is.

Jerry Lopez (0:11)

Is...

SPEAKER_4 (0:12)

This...

Nigel (0:13)

Anything...

SPEAKER_4 (0:13)

All right, let's rock and roll.

Nigel (0:16)

Oh, hi. We're 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 to search at indianaunclaimed.gov. My name is Nigel, Jason Hammer is out. Jerry Lopez is in. Hammer usually gives these to me.

But maybe I could... Maybe we could switch it up and I give some... Is this anything to you?

Jerry Lopez (0:42)

Let's do it.

Nigel (0:42)

You want to do this one? The White... And you're a baseball guy.

Jerry Lopez (0:45)

I'm a baseball guy.

Nigel (0:46)

You're a big baseball guy. The White Sox beat the Royals to clinch a playoff spot after three 100-loss seasons in a row. Here is...

Do you know how to pronounce this name?

Jerry Lopez (1:02)

Not gonna work here anymore.

Nigel (1:03)

Munataka Murakami with an insane interview after the big win.

Munetaka Murakami (1:09)

Munat, your first clubhouse celebration, rated on a scale of 1 to 10 How's it going so far? 100! Oh! How many champagne bottles have you opened so far?

What does it mean just to be able to celebrate with this team? I'm Japanese!

Jerry Lopez (1:27)

That was real.

Nigel (1:28)

Oh, that's something, right?

Jerry Lopez (1:29)

Yeah, that's awesome. But also, like as a Yankee fan, sit down.

SPEAKER_4 (1:33)

Oh, no.

Jerry Lopez (1:33)

Listen, it's cute. You guys made the playoffs, but playoffs?

SPEAKER_4 (1:37)

We're talking about playoffs.

Nigel (1:38)

You had to go there.

Jerry Lopez (1:39)

Yeah, I mean, listen, it's cute. And I welcome to what is known as the postseason. All right. I know a lot of you guys don't know the season continues on past October.

Nigel (1:48)

What an S talk.

Jerry Lopez (1:49)

Listen, and Cubs fans as well. Like, I know that's not something you guys are generally used to, but this is this is normal baseball.

Nigel (1:56)

The NFL has fined Colts right guard Matt Goncalves. Did I say that right?

Jerry Lopez (2:07)

Yeah.

Nigel (2:08)

He pretended to chug the football after Tyler Warren's touchdown on the first drive of Sunday Night Football. And this is according to the Indy Star. He was fined $8,800 for the celebration, making the...

He's a third year offensive lineman, and at least two NFL players fined for chugging the football last week. They were making, I guess, you know, motions like they were drinking it like a pitcher of beer. Is this anything?

Jerry Lopez (2:45)

This is a result of people like Oto Cinco using the football years ago. And the penalty for this is you cannot use the football as part of your celebration.

So remember, they act like they're putting the football.

Nigel (2:58)

Didn't Randy Moss pull down his pants and act like he was moving somebody?

Jerry Lopez (3:02)

Remember the guy pulled out a pin from the from the crossbar and signed the football?

Nigel (3:06)

Yeah.

Jerry Lopez (3:07)

Somebody had a cell phone up there.

Nigel (3:09)

Yeah.

Jerry Lopez (3:10)

So it's the no fun lead.

Nigel (3:12)

$8,800.

Jerry Lopez (3:13)

He won't pay that. Tyler Warren will pay that for him.

Nigel (3:16)

Oh, OK.

Jerry Lopez (3:17)

Yeah.

Nigel (3:18)

That's OK. That would be nice. It's a nice guy. Sellers on eBay are apparently listing.

Have you seen these? Do you eat goldfish crackers? Yeah. Have you seen the fused? You could be sitting on a gold mine.

Jerry Lopez (3:34)

They're in my stomach.

Nigel (3:35)

Sellers on eBay are apparently using fused goldfish cracker clusters for thousands of dollars with the Holy Grail, which is an ultra rare six cracker clump. And they're asking for a whopping twenty five thousand dollars. Here is a seller on eBay.

SPEAKER_4 (3:56)

There are people on eBay selling these little goldfish clusters thousands of dollars. Some listings have been priced as high as twenty five thousand dollars. I'm sorry, twenty five K for something I used to accidentally vacuum off the floor of my minivan. So if you find two goldfish like this, you may have just hit the jackpot.

Nigel (4:18)

Is this anything like, I mean, I love goldfish.

SPEAKER_4 (4:21)

I love goldfish.

Nigel (4:22)

My kids eat goldfish. They've been eating goldfish since they were tiny.

Jerry Lopez (4:27)

And you've been eating goldfish since the kids were tiny.

SPEAKER_6 (4:29)

I have been eating goldfish.

Jerry Lopez (4:31)
