The Hammer and Nigel presents.

Hammer (0:06)

It depends upon what the meaning of the word is.

Nigel (0:11)

Is this anything?

Hammer (0:13)

All right, let's rock and roll.

Nigel (0:18)

Brought to you by Indiana Unclaimed, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Nigel. It's Jason Hammer at the home show in Grand Park. And we are at the, we are in the Master Spa's hot tub, getting ready to do Is This Anything? Brought to you by Indiana Unclaimed, a department brought to you by the Indiana Attorney General's Office. Type your name in to see if you got any money floating around out there. Indianaunclaimed.gov. Hammer.

Jason Hammer (0:46)

Guess what I found, Nigel? The jet.

Nigel (0:51)

Where is the jet emanating out of and where is it going into?

Jason Hammer (0:54)

Don't worry about it. I found the jet.

I found the jet.

Nigel (0:58)

So the Master Spa's people have graciously agreed to let us get in our skivvies, and we are doing these next few segments from the hot tub. I would love, by the way, I would love one of these outside my house.

Jason Hammer (1:12)

Yes. How were we not partners with Master Spa? Yeah.

Nigel (1:15)

We got to partner up with you guys.

Jason Hammer (1:17)

We could do these videos every week. We've been named number one in America, for god's sake. We got the biggest station, the biggest show, number one ratings. Somebody needs to work with Master Spa here.

Nigel (1:29)

People are starting to gather around and look at us.

Jason Hammer (1:33)

I don't like their laughing.

Hammer (1:37)

All right, Nigel.

Jason Hammer (1:38)

Let's do Is This Anything, okay?

Hammer (1:40)

All right.

Nigel (1:40)

Let's do it.

Jason Hammer (1:41)

And again, on the YouTube stream, if you're watching, you can see us sitting in the hot tub. You're welcome.

Is This Anything? The National Toy Hall of Fame revealed their final for the 2026 class.

Nigel (1:57)

Okay.

Jason Hammer (1:58)

On the list, the game Mouse Trap, Pokemon cards, Tickle Me Elmo, and more.

Nigel (2:05)

How do you feel? Like, I don't think it's anything that Bingo is in the National Toy.

First of all, Bingo is not in the National Toy Hall of Fame already, Hammer.

Jason Hammer (2:16)

Right.

Nigel (2:16)

Now, the Pokemon cards, fine. I don't know what else. What else did you mention there?

Mouse Trap game. Oh, the Mouse. I loved Mouse Trap. Did you play Mouse Trap back in the day?

Jason Hammer (2:26)

I did. What about Tickle Me Elmo? Were your kids ever into Elmo?

Nigel (2:30)

No, no, never into Elmo. They never really watched it even. And they were like in the right age frame, too.

But I think Bingo should have been in there. And so what does that say about the Toy Hall of Fame that Bingo wasn't in there already is my question.

SPEAKER_4 (2:47)

You know what was in there? Stick.

Jason Hammer (2:50)

A freaking stick was in the Toy Hall of Fame.

Nigel (2:53)

Okay.

Jason Hammer (2:54)

Let's do something from Hammer and Nigel products. We've got a toy.

We put out a number of years ago for the holiday season. It was a Hammer and Nigel Show board game.

Nigel (3:05)

Is that right?

Jason Hammer (3:06)

Move over, Monopoly. This Christmas, there's only one item that can bring the whole family together. Hammer and Nigel products presents The Hammer and Nigel Show. The board game.

Just set up the game board, roll the dice, and follow the instructions on their corresponding cards.

Nigel (3:28)

Like this.

Jason Hammer (3:29)

Look, Dad, you landed on lewd, nude, do to the news.

Hammer (3:34)

I sure did, Jimmy.

Jason Hammer (3:36)

Now here, help me get these underwear off. It's perfect for children of all ages, and ideal for family game night.

SPEAKER_4 (3:44)

Okay, Mom, you landed on booze news.

Hammer (3:47)

I love you. Now pass mom that case of Old Milwaukee.

Jason Hammer (3:51)

And if you order in the next 10 minutes, we'll even throw in another game for free. Elizabeth Warren's Twister.

SPEAKER_4 (3:59)

Left foot red. Left foot red.

Jason Hammer (4:07)

Come on. The Hammer and Nigel Show Board Game. Order today.

The Hammer and Nigel Show Board Game.

Nigel (4:15)

Oh, that should be in the Hall of Fame.

Jason Hammer (4:18)

And again, I can't stress this enough.

We asked our engineer Phelan earlier. Now, you're sure we're not going to get electrocuted. And his response, as proud as my witness was, I don't know.

Nigel (4:30)

That shoulder shrug.

SPEAKER_4 (4:32)

Shoulder shrug.

Nigel (4:34)

There's literally a wire in the hot tub.
