- 1:14that means. Hammer and Hank. Dude, we usually
- 1:18begin with radio memories, but we have something
- 1:21that's not a memory yet because it hasn't happened.
- 1:24But The Dog House with JV and Elvis, the most
- 1:28listened to show ever in San Francisco Bay Area
- 1:31radio history, is going to the Bay Area Radio
- 1:35Hall of Fame, including my friend Hank. How do
- 1:38you feel about this, Hank? Extremely good. On
- 1:42a scale of 1 to 10, how excited are you? Probably
- 1:4611. What about a 12? Does that work? Probably
- 1:5111. Ah, you got to get to a 12. You'll be at
- 1:53a 15 at that event, dude. Where is the event
- 1:56happening? Can people go? It's happening at the
- 1:59Elks Lodge in Alameda. I will get all the info
- 2:04and put that in the podcast description so people
- 2:07can go. Ah, Hank, who's all going to be out there?
- 2:13Elvis, Hollywood, Ruthie, hopefully Menace. Is
- 2:20that girl that gave you the blowjob going to
- 2:23be there? Probably not. Do you talk to her anymore?
- 2:29No. Yeah, she probably left, leave it at 1998.
- 2:34Why do you think, besides having the highest
- 2:38ratings ever and being a legend, why do you think
- 2:41the doghouse is in the Hall of Fame? Because
- 2:44a lot of people voted for them. Yes, I mean,
- 2:47obviously. But what was so good about the doghouse
- 2:50in its prime for people that didn't hear the
- 2:52doghouse on Wild 94 .9 and 107 .7? Dog House,
- 2:56the highest rated FM morning show in San Francisco
- 2:59radio history. They did a lot of good stuff,
- 3:02too. What were the good stuff that they did?
- 3:04Because they're often known for their shock jock
- 3:06antics. The prank calls. Yeah. And also the comedy.
- 3:12What was the comedy like, Hank? Comedy was very
- 3:15good. What was so good about the comedy? The
- 3:18comedy was, you know, they make a lot of excellent
- 3:25jokes. Give me an example. So, overall, it was
- 3:29just a show that you were always laughing, right?
- 3:32That people always laughed pretty much. Now,
- 3:35were there ever any arguments on the doghouse
- 3:38with JV and all this? Not really. Yeah, it seems
- 3:41like JV kind of kept that in line. I heard from
- 3:46somebody that JV always protected you, that he
- 3:48was your guy. That's cool, buddy. He always protected
- 3:51me. Yes, I was even on his show, too. I don't
- 3:55know if you know that. It doesn't matter. Do
- 4:00you know if there's going to be free food at
- 4:01this event? No, you have to pay for it. Oh, man.
- 4:06What is it going to be like? Chicken marsala?
- 4:08Chicken parm? You know what it is? I don't know.
- 4:11It's probably good stuff. Me and my buddy Tom
- 4:13Loflian. Yeah. We're going out to dinner afterwards.
- 4:16Hell yeah. That's the PD of KCRH, correct? Yep.
- 4:20What are some of the best parts about Tom? He's
- 4:24a good teacher. Yeah. He's teaching me how to
- 4:29do good radio again. So I saw this here, and
- 4:32this made me so excited, dude. So there's like
- 4:37a bulletin board. Where is this at? And I'll
- 4:40read what it says, but where is this bulletin
- 4:44board picture at? It's also the cover of the
- 4:46podcast, but where is it at? Right by the Spectator.
- 4:49What's the Spectator, Hank? It's the Chabot College
- 4:52newspaper. Okay, so what's the college you're
- 4:56at? Chabot. Okay, and that's where KCRH is. And
- 5:01it says, week seven, Hammerin Hank is going into
- 5:05the Bay Radio Hall of Fame. Congratulations.
- 5:08But he is still responsible for all his KCRH
- 5:1289 .9 FM homework. I love that. I love it too.
- 5:16A little bit of ball busting, a little bit of
- 5:18this and that. So congratulations, Hank. Okay.
- 5:23Hank, what, so like over the years, how many
- 5:27years have you been in radio altogether? A total
- 5:30of 34. Longer than I've been alive. Take us back.
- 5:35What is your radio memory of the week? When I
- 5:41first joined KCRH way back in 1992. What was
- 5:44that like? I was in the direction of the late
- 5:46Rick Strauss and Stan Lichtenstein. Oh, yeah.
- 5:50What was it like back then? What music were they
- 5:53playing in the club? We have to play whatever
- 5:56we're told. So you don't get to choose? We didn't
- 6:00get to choose back then. Now do you get to choose?
- 6:03Yes, I do. What are some of the songs? When can
- 6:06people hear you on the radio? Hang. I'm on KCRH
- 6:1089 .9 FM every Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a
- 6:16.m. to 1 p .m. Hell yeah. You can check out my
- 6:18show online at kcrhradio .com. And you always
- 6:24post when you're going to be on. So how can people
- 6:26follow you on social media? You can follow me
- 6:29on Instagram at DJ Hammer and Hank or on TikTok
- 6:33at I am Hammer and Hank. You are Hammer and Hank.
- 6:37Hank, do you got any other radio memories? The
- 6:43day I first joined the doghouse way back in August
- 6:451996. Doghouse. What? Doghouse. What? What was
- 6:52that first day like? It was very, very, very
- 6:55good. What'd you do? We did a contest for this.
- 6:58They're called Bad Old Hank. Oh, yeah. How did
- 7:02that go? Pretty good. Do you think you worked
- 7:09with man cows warning about house as well? Yeah.
- 7:12Do you think man cows are going to the Bay Area
- 7:14Radio Hall of Fame? Nope. Oh, wow. Because he
- 7:19belongs to the Chicago Radio Hall of Fame instead.
- 7:21That's actually a good point. It's fair enough.
- 7:23I think he should be in the Radio Hall of Fame
- 7:25in general. I know. It's crazy. It's because
- 7:29he's edgy, so people don't like him. It's all
- 7:31good in the neighborhood. Hank, I'm going to
- 7:34hit the music, and then I'll point at you, and
- 7:35we'll do jokes, okay? Okay, buddy. Let me hit
- 7:38the music. What are your jokes? Why do I always
- 8:26say I'm on my way? Why? Because I'm looking for
- 8:31my pants sounds less responsible. Why do I hate...
- 8:39When someone calls me instead of texting? Why?
- 8:43Because now I have to perform live. Why do I
- 8:49always check the fridge twice? Why? Because maybe
- 8:54something good showed up during a commercial
- 8:56break. Why do I love canceling subscriptions?
- 9:01Why? Because it feels like giving myself a raise.
- 9:06Why do I always pretend I understand the directions?
- 9:11Why? Because maybe getting lost privately is
- 9:15less embarrassing. Why do I hate assembling furniture?
- 9:21Why? Because I don't need a bookshelf questioning
- 9:24my intelligence. Why do I always take leftovers
- 9:29home? Why? Because the most problem is there's
- 9:33tonight's mozzarella sticks. Why do I hate someone
- 9:38when somebody says we need to talk? Why? Because
- 9:44nobody has ever followed that about how awesome
- 9:49we are. Why do I always turn down the music when
- 9:53I'm parking? Why? Because apparently my eyes
- 9:57were blocking the parking space. Oh, yours. I'm
- 10:00sorry. Oh, you're good. Why do I always say one
- 10:04more drink? Why? Because apparently I'm terribly
- 10:08counting. Is that your joke? I got the radio
- 10:13jokes. I'm going to read them, okay? Okay. All
- 10:17right. Background music. Can we do this here?
- 10:22You can leave us a voicemail. 856 -494 -6773.
- 10:27Or you can follow me on Instagram at DJ Ham.
- 10:30Man, we have good chemistry. Let me do this right
- 10:35here. That's like having a little background
- 10:39noise. Joke number one. Why did the radio host
- 10:43bring a ladder to work? I don't know, buddy.
- 10:46The producer told him to take the show to another
- 10:49level. Cool. Why did the DJ get dumped? I don't
- 10:56know. He kept introducing his girlfriend as coming
- 10:59up next. Cool. How do you get a radio host to
- 11:04stop talking? Tell them the microphone is off.
- 11:09Okay. Why did the radio station hire a plumber?
- 11:15Why, buddy? Too many leaks during the morning
- 11:18show. Okay. What's a radio host's favorite exercise?
- 11:24What is it? Jumping to conclusions. I love that
- 11:30laugh. Why did the DJ bring a sandwich into the
- 11:33studio? I don't know. He heard they needed a
- 11:37fresh hour of content. Why did the radio host
- 11:42argue with his GPS? I don't know. He couldn't
- 11:46let another voice have the last word. What did
- 11:52the radio host say after his first date? I don't
- 11:55know. We'll be right back after these messages
- 11:58from my ex. I remember that. Enter commercial
- 12:02rights after these messages. We'll be right back.
- 12:06Oh, yeah. Why did the DJ talk through the fire
- 12:11alarm? He thought it was the intro to a new song.
- 12:16And finally, why did the radio host take his
- 12:22headphones to therapy? I don't know, buddy. He
- 12:25needed someone to monitor his feelings. And I
- 12:30think we should do that. Have me read jokes and
- 12:32then have you do it. I kind of like your laughter.
- 12:34It's adorable. All righty. Let me do this real
- 12:37quick. It doesn't make sense on your end because
- 12:42you don't hear it. But right now, what am I playing?
- 12:46Church music. What the hell is going on in church?
- 12:50We just started studying the book of 1 John.
- 12:53How's that gone? Pretty good. Yeah. What are
- 12:58you learning? It talks about Jesus and his disciples.
- 13:01How are the disciples doing? Pretty good. Do
- 13:04you think Mary Magdalene was a whore? Nope. She's
- 13:09a good woman. They just did OnlyFans. What else
- 13:13is going on in the world of Jeebus? Well, we
- 13:18did Comedian yesterday. How was Comedian? How
- 13:23was the bread? Comedian Sunday, we have crackers
- 13:27and grape juice. Do you have any donuts? Nope.
- 13:33Okay, that's good. Anything else going on in
- 13:37the world of Jeebus? I'm going to play the pop
- 13:43culture trivia intro, and then I'll point at
- 13:46you, okay? Dear Lord. Way back in 1970. Led Zeppelin.
- 14:41Nope. Mark Lindsay. Next. Who had the top 10
- 14:46hit record, S &M, way back in the mid -2000s?
- 14:52Rihanna. Wasn't that 2010, though? 2010, yep.
- 14:59That's not the 2000s. That's the 2010s, but I
- 15:01knew it. Next. Who had the song Boom Up way back
- 15:06in 1997? Hanson. That's correct. Hell yeah. Two
- 15:11for one so far. Go on. That's it for the music
- 15:15trivia for this week. I got one. Who sang the
- 15:19song Kill Him With Kindness in 2016? I think
- 15:27it's Lenny Gomez. You got it. What else do I
- 15:32got? Who sang the song It's Gonna Be May? I don't
- 15:38know. It's going to be me. I don't know. NSYNC.
- 15:44Are you not an NSYNC fan? Nope. Well, I should
- 15:50have done that. Hank, it says right here. We'll
- 15:55move on. You have a wish for a TV gig. Yep. Bring
- 16:03back the X Factor. The TV show that was on Fox?
- 16:08Yep. I was thinking about main producers. You
- 16:13know what you should do? Decide to bring back
- 16:15the X Factor. I wish I was the host. All right.
- 16:17I have an idea for you. So, we have very exciting
- 16:20things happening within our podcast network,
- 16:23Ride to Wave Media. Today, me and Blaine figured
- 16:25out how to go live on Kik. Cool. And on Twitch.
- 16:30So, we're going to be re -airing Hoppy Hour at
- 16:34night. And we'll be airing Hank's show. Here's
- 16:38my point. My point is, I'm going to... Who was
- 16:42the guy that was just in there? Samson? Alan
- 16:46Samson. Yes, Alan Samson. I knew it was something
- 16:49Samson. Very nice guy. Maybe if we get you the
- 16:54right equipment, you can go live on kick. Cool.
- 16:59That's something I'm going to talk to Alan about.
- 17:01That could be, and we call it the Hank factor.
- 17:04The Hank factor. That'd be cool, buddy. And it's
- 17:07more the day in the life of Hank. Not so much
- 17:10like a reality show, but... I mean, not so much
- 17:14like a competition because I don't know how we
- 17:16would do that, but it's called the Hank Factor.
- 17:19That's for 2027. Mark that in. That's coming
- 17:22up. Okay, buddy. Because Ride to Wave Media joined
- 17:25Kik. We almost have to keep it to ourselves because
- 17:30I don't want people to take our ideas because
- 17:32I really believe this is bee's knees. Hank, we
- 17:37got a listener comment here. Hank, I am so proud
- 17:40of you for making it into the Radio Hall of Fame.

- 17:57of the Week? Yes. By the way, have you been able
- 18:00to hear the music on my end? Nope. That is why
- 18:03I point. One second, Hank. Who's your Buddy of
- 18:34the Week? Tom Loflian? Samson and all my buddies
