Or you can follow me on Instagram at DJ Hammer

1:36
Because Instagram is a wonderful social media
1:39
website. Hey, we got so much to get to. What
1:45
do you think of Daylight Savings Time? Daylight
1:49
Savings Time is over. Okay, whatever. What do
1:52
you think about the clocks going back? Mixed
1:57
emotions? I hate it, Hank. I hate it getting
2:01
cloudy and dark early. I want it to be summer.
2:04
I do too. I want it to be summer 24 -7. I want
2:09
it to be summer 24 -7. Hell yeah. As if it's
2:13
hot weather. But when there's hot weather, Hank,
2:17
they're looking hot. Cool, buddy. Yeah, kind
2:21
of. All right, Hank. What is your radio memory
2:24
of the week? My radio memory of the week is when
2:28
I sang. For Mancow, way back in 1994. I want
2:32
to be a monkey, a monkey, a monkey. I want to
2:36
be a monkey. He loved his monkeys. Did he have
2:41
that pet monkey then? Probably not. He had a
2:44
pet monkey, I know, at one point. Do you have
2:47
any other memories from Mancow's boarding madhouse?
2:51
Yes. What? We also sang the song Super Freak.
2:57
Super Freak! By Rick James. It was a big kid
3:01
record back in 1981. What about Dog House? What's
3:05
a memory you think you've never told us? A deep
3:10
cut. I got to visit a lot of high schools when
3:14
I was at Wild 95 back in the day. Oh, yeah. The
3:17
pep rallies, right? The high school musical rallies.
3:23
The dance of all these Latin female girls. Oh,
3:28
Lord. Hopefully they were seniors. Do you have
3:31
any other memories? When I got into the sound
3:40
factory on Christmas Day 1998 and 1999. Do you
3:47
remember an owner of the place named Benjamin
3:49
Swig? Yep. I produced his radio show back in
3:53
the day on a radio station. A Small World! Okay,
3:58
buddy. Anyway, do you have any other memories
4:02
or do you want to get to jokes if I hit the music?
4:05
I have one more. All right, what is it? I almost
4:10
got to host a New Year's Eve party way back when.
4:14
What happened? Oh, jeez. Is that what happened?
4:19
The entire doghouse hosted it along with myself.
4:23
Oh, so it ended up being everybody hosted it.
4:26
Yep. Doghouse! What? Doghouse! What? All right,
4:31
let's get to jokes. Let me hit the music. Okay,
4:33
ready? Let me hit the music. Spill my coffee.
4:45
Should have known today I'd have some messed
4:48
up luck. Being hoppy on the show. Making jokes
4:54
so bad I can't help but glow. Hank says why did
4:58
bro get an award? Cause he was out in his field
5:03
of... Let's go through the jokes. What do you
5:17
call someone who loves ceilings? What? A fucking
5:22
ceiling fan. What do... I do when my boss told
5:29
me to have a good day. What? I went fucking home.
5:34
I know. Why do I know only 25 letters of the
5:43
alphabet? Why? I don't know fucking why. I did.
5:50
How will I find out whether the chicken or the
5:54
egg came first? I don't know how. I fucking ordered
5:58
both online. What's my broken vacuum cleaner
6:03
doing now? What? Gathering dust. Why did I stop
6:10
hating my beard? Why? Because it grew on me.
6:16
Hi, James. What does the library say when I ask
6:21
for books on paranoia? What? They're right behind
6:25
you. Why am I still reading a book about anti
6:31
-gravity? I don't know why. Because it's fucking
6:34
impossible to put it down. What did the doctor
6:39
say when I broke my arm in two places? Stop going
6:43
to these places. And why can't I wear camouflage
6:50
pants? Because I fucking can't find them. That's
6:57
it for my jokes. We got homeless jokes for some
7:01
reason. Why did the homeless comedian hate real
7:04
estate jokes? I don't know, buddy. They hid too
7:08
close to someone's home. Why did the apartment
7:12
listing call a park bench? I don't know, buddy.
7:16
A homeless person's bed. Why did the homeless
7:21
guy avoid motivational speakers? I don't know.
7:24
They kept telling him to get out of his comfort
7:26
zone. There's a motivational speaker on my post
7:31
show called... I forget. What happened when he
7:35
pulled himself up by his bootstraps? I don't
7:39
know, buddy. His boots broke. Why did he laugh
7:43
at the studio apartment tour? I don't know. His
7:47
shopping cart had more storage. What did the
7:50
city of San Francisco do when it was asked for
7:53
affordable housing? I don't know, buddy. Formed
7:56
a committee to discuss a meeting about it. Because...
8:00
The only thing I have for homeless people in
8:02
San Francisco or the Bay Area is a fucking cup
8:05
of hot piss. I love that line, dude. It's a great
8:08
line. Why was he suspicious of the free housing
8:11
seminar? I don't know. It had a cover charge.
8:15
What did he say when someone told him to follow
8:18
his dreams? I don't know. I'm trying, but security
8:21
keeps waking me up. Why did he turn down the
8:25
haunted house? I don't know. Even the ghost wanted
8:29
first last in a security deposit. And what did
8:33
the landlord call the cardboard box? Why did
8:36
the landlord call the cardboard box? I don't
8:39
know. Charming fixer -upper. I know those are
8:43
the homeless jokes. I don't know. What was the
8:45
basis? Where's your brain going when you think
8:47
of homeless jokes? In a homeless shelter. No,
8:52
no, no, no, no. But what made you think of that
8:54
concept? Because... I want to do some homeless
8:59
jokes. Okay. You're not really... What made you
9:02
think of it? I thought about it because, you
9:06
know, the Bay Area has the nation's largest homeless
9:09
population. Yeah. Real funny. Oh, by the way,
9:13
Hank, I have church music playing. What the hell's
9:17
going on at church? We're still studying the
9:20
book of 1 John. 1 fucking John. What's that going
9:24
like? It teaches people how to behave themselves.
9:30
About the upcoming... Election? I thought you
9:34
meant election. Anywho. Anything else going on?
9:38
And also, we had Communion Sunday yesterday.
9:42
Oh, that's good! How was that? It was extremely
9:47
good. I knew you would say extremely good. Anything
9:52
else? I want to start... Going to Bible study
9:57
when they offer it again. Yeah! Everyone loves
10:01
a good Bible study with the hot -ass women. Mm
10:03
-hmm. Okay. Anything else? That's it. All right.
10:10
Not for that church, you know that? Jesus Christ.
10:13
World Series for me, bud. The World Series, it
10:18
was okay. Yeah, it was all right. Milwaukee Brewers
10:21
won their first ever World Series. Fuck Milwaukee!
10:24
I hate seeing them happy. Fuck the Brewers. Yeah!
10:28
The Rays just can never get it done when it matters.
10:31
Mm -hmm. At least the Dodgers didn't win it.
10:34
Yeah. My dead uncle liked themselves kind of
10:36
running for the Dodgers, but at the same time,
10:38
not really. But I would rather see the Dodgers
10:40
win than the Brewers! I was rooting for the Rays.
10:44
I hate Wisconsin people. They're assholes. Everybody
10:47
talks about people from Philadelphia. No. People
10:50
from Wisconsin are douchebags! To Philadelphia!
10:54
Thank you for that. That was very helpful. Recap
10:58
the WNBA finals for me. WNBA finals. I'm happy
11:02
to say that the Valkyries won their NBA champion,
11:07
WNBA champion, that is, in only their second
11:10
year of existence. Yeah. I love seeing Angel
11:15
Reese lose that little bitch. Mm -hmm. She's
11:19
a brat. Yeah! That's a brat. Angel Reese is a
11:22
brat. Brat of the week. They're a bunch of brats.
11:27
Anyway. I'm glad the Valkyries won. Yeah. Golden
11:30
State was the series MVP. Listener comment here.
11:37
Hanky, I've been a fan of you for 35 years. Going
11:40
back to your first tour at KCRH. Keep up the
11:43
good work. Thank you, buddy. All right. I'm going
11:46
to hit the music. We'll do trivia right now.
11:49
All right. What's your trivia? Who has a top
12:21
10 adult contemporary hit record? Me and you
12:25
and a boy named Sue. Way back in 1972. I don't
12:30
know. Flea and Mac? Nope. Lobo. Oh, never heard
12:33
of him. Is he a hobo? Nope. Okay. There's an
12:39
artist named Lobo. Go on. Who had the top 10
12:45
hit record? Fernando. Way back in 1975. The B
12:50
.A .J.'s. Nope. ABBA. I'm more of a dancing queen.
12:58
I'm more of that. Anyone? Who had the top 10
13:01
hit record, if not for you, way back in 1970?
13:07
Oh, Jesus Christ. I was alive for that. Bob Dylan.
13:10
Nope. Olivia Newton -John. I'm so off. The House.
13:16
That's it for the music trivia for this week.
13:18
That was cool. You couldn't hear it, but it ended
13:19
right as the music ended. That was cool. Kind
13:21
of theatrical. What are some of your favorite
13:23
TV shows from the 80s that you've been thinking
13:26
about? I just see the TV show Dance Fever make
13:29
a comeback. Never heard of it. What's it about?
13:32
I remember the Dance Fever when dancers danced
13:37
in front of the audience and some of the judges
13:39
in order to win some fabulous, exciting prizes.
13:44
Oh, you sound like a game show host. What were
13:48
some of the prizes they would win in the club?
13:53
Anakai Stereo and the like. And the like. I like
13:56
that. Hammer and Hank, did you ever watch Trash
14:00
TV like Ward and Donnie Jr.? I used to watch
14:05
the Roy Poe show back in the day. And Baby Mama.
14:09
That was a good show. What are your birthday
14:11
plans and your wish list? My birthday plans are
14:17
to have breakfast with my sister, Jan Smith,
14:20
a .k .a. Smurfettes, at the Breakfast Club restaurant
14:23
in Castro Valley. Nice! You'll probably end up
14:26
doing that. Mm -hmm. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. You
14:32
okay? Yep. Okay. Anything else from that sort
14:36
of topic? Open gifts. Yeah. And maybe do a radio
14:43
station tour. Who wants that anymore? I'm going
14:50
to hit the music, and we will do Buddy of the
14:52
Week, okay? All right. Let me hit the music.
15:06
All right, Hank. Who's your Buddy of the Week?
15:28
Greg from KCRH. Nice. What did your homie Greg
15:31
do? He did an interview with me this past Friday.
15:34
What did he do? He did an interview with me this
15:37
past Friday. Oh, yeah, the interview. I won along
15:42
with the doghouse. I was selected to the Bay
15:45
Area Radio Hall of Fame. And we will add that
15:47
interview at the end of this show, okay? Okay,
15:51
buddy. Any other buddies in the week? Yes. Hey!
15:57
the entire Golden State Valkyries women's basketball
16:01
team for winning their first WNBA championship
16:06
and earning their second year of existence. Yeah!
16:10
Love to see Golden State win, Clem. And Gabby
16:14
Williams is one of my buddies, too. In fact,
16:17
like I said earlier, she was named the WNBA Finals
16:21
MVP. Nice. You got a lot of buddies, bro. Thank
16:26
you, buddy. You're the best. I'm going to hit
16:34
the... Okay, okay. Don't say it yet. I'm going
16:36
to hit the opening for Prick in the News, okay?
16:39
All right, buddy. All right, let me have it.
16:42
Definitely the Denver Broncos for... Defeating
17:23
my Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Yay! Man, I
17:28
took a nap because of daylight savings. Whatever,
17:30
the savings thing. And I woke up and I was like,
17:33
how the fuck did they lose? How the fuck did
17:35
the Chiefs lose yesterday? I don't know, man.
17:37
You tell me. I fell asleep. But the Broncos made
17:41
a comeback and unfortunately defeated my Chiefs
17:45
28 -24. Yay! I think the Chiefs got way too comfortable.
17:52
I think so, too. Is there anything else on your
17:55
mind, Hanky? Yes. What? You know, I want to visit.
18:01
Where? Kansas next year. First person to ever
18:07
say that. A couple radio stations and do an autism
18:09
PSA. That sounds good. Anything else? That's
18:15
it. That's a quicker show. Sometimes you just
18:19
need a little quickie in your life. What do you
18:24
got? How do you want to end this? I have to say
18:27
what's up to all my buddies out there. I love
18:29
you very, very much. You can follow me on Instagram
18:32
at DJ Hammer and Hank. I hope to see you right
18:36
back here real soon. Peace in your hood. Bye,
18:39
Hank. Love you. Peace in your hood. Love you.
18:44
Love you. I love you too, buddy. All right, bye.
18:47
Right here is the interview with the one, the
18:56
only, Hammer and Hank. Mm -hmm. Greg Driscoll
19:01
interviews Hammer and Hank. Thank you, Greg,
19:04
for being nice to him. I'm here with Hank, Hammer
19:11
and Hank. We're about to hit the radio station
19:12
right now. Here we go. Take your earphones on.
19:18
Put them on. You don't use the other ones? We
19:21
don't want to plug them in. All good. All good.
19:30
Got it? Got it. Okay. It's your boy, Greg Driscoll
19:36
on the Big G Show. It's your boy, Greg Driscoll
19:39
on the Big G Show. I have in studio with me.
19:45
A Bay Area legend, if you will. His name is Hammering
19:50
Hank, and if you don't know who he is, you need
19:52
to look him up and Google him. What's going on,
19:56
Benny? Rock and roll, Mr. Hank. Rock and roll,
19:58
as usual, you know. Thank you very much for taking
20:04
a little time out of your schedule to come and
20:06
be on the Greg Driscoll Big G Show. Thank you,
20:08
Benny. Not a problem, not a problem. So tell
20:12
me, how did the... Hammer and Hank come about.
20:17
How did your career start up a little bit? I
20:19
started my radio career right here at KCRH, where
20:23
I was branded as Hit Mix FM 90 way back in 1992.
20:27
I served as the honor personality and also station's
20:31
PSA director. Wow, the PSA director. All right.
20:36
That's a good thing though, right? Under direction
20:38
of the late Rick Strauss. Rest in peace, Mr.
20:42
Strauss. I'm sure it was a good one, yes? It
20:44
was a very good one. Cool. All right. Well, tell
20:48
me more about your illustrious career, what got
20:53
you into the world of radio, if you can. When
20:55
I was a kid, I pretended to be a radio DJ by
20:59
tearing the antennas off the radios and pretending
21:03
to be a radio DJ playing records. Nice. Nice.
21:08
And I suppose that was pretty fun, right? It
21:11
was extremely fun. Cool, cool, cool. Are you
21:16
a Halloween? No, we're not planning to do anything
21:21
for Halloween except for having breakfast with
21:25
my sister, Jan Smith, a .k .a. Surfette, at the
21:28
Norman's Grill in Castro Valley. Nice indeed.
21:32
Again, you're listening to live .kshr. You're
21:34
actually listening to kshrhradio .com. I don't
21:36
know what's going on with the... with the live
21:39
thing, but hopefully it'll be fixed soon. But
21:42
I'm sitting here with, again, with a legend by
21:44
the name of Hammerin Hank. He started off here
21:48
at KCRH and still graces the studios over here.
21:52
He's also been involved in 94 .9 and a bunch
21:57
of others. So if you could tell some people about
21:59
that, if you want to. I started at 1A for 9 right
22:04
after I left KCRH. After my first stint, way
22:08
back in 1994, I was a member of Mancow's Morning
22:11
Madhouse back then. He had me sing some songs
22:14
like, Super Freak, Super Freak. And I also got
22:18
to meet some artists like Lisette Melendez and
22:23
George Clinton. You met George Clinton. How was
22:28
that? Extremely good. Nice. I mean, it's a little
22:34
different, right? But it's fun. Right? Very fun,
22:36
buddy. How was he? How was he as an artist? How
22:40
was he when you met him? I love the song. I like
22:44
a lot of his music best. I think we can do something
22:48
about that for... George Clinton. Because I happen
22:51
to enjoy a little George Clinton myself there,
22:54
Hank, you know? Okay, buddy. But give me a little
23:01
bit of background of what you used to do at...
23:06
At, um... The doghouse. At the doghouse, yeah.
23:10
I did a lot of dirty work. Did some comedy prank
23:14
calls. Did a lot of stunts. Did you ever feel
23:20
like they were picking on you? Sometimes. They
23:24
did, but they always would be nice to you in
23:26
the end. They always would be nice to you in
23:28
the end. In the end. In the end. Yeah, absolutely.
23:33
You're right. You're right, absolutely. Um, so
23:37
what else is, uh, what else, what else do you,
23:41
what kind of logs do you got in the fire for,
23:43
um, for the radio stuff that you're doing? Any,
23:47
any good projects? What do you go out since,
23:50
since then? What do you, what have you been doing?
23:52
I've been recording PSAs for a radio station
23:54
in Kansas called Old School 107. Excuse me. That's
24:00
okay. It happens. It's happened. That's all right.
24:02
High school 1079 in Great Bay, Kansas. Under
24:05
direction of the late Doug. Doug. That's all
24:11
good. Doug Bender. Doug Bender. Doug Bender.
24:14
Doug Bender. All right. Well, he helped me do
24:17
the Autism PSAs. And the Autism PSA that was
24:22
recorded in 2016 was nominated for Best PSA by
24:28
the Kansas Association of Broadcasters. Hanky's
24:33
Autism Awareness PSA. Absolutely. And people
24:37
need to realize what autism is. They really need
24:40
to understand. They need to understand autism.
24:43
Some people don't want to. Some people just don't
24:47
want to, right? Unfortunately, yes. So we'll
24:51
come back and talk more with DJ Hammer and Hank
24:54
right after this with Atomic Dog by the immortal
24:59
George Clinton. Researching and planning a film.
25:03
We are truly D -Space's variety. Absolutely.
25:11
There you go. So, now we'll just hang out for
25:15
a bit, huh? Okay. Cool. Yeah. So, say what's
25:21
up to the people right over here, you know. What's
25:23
going on, buddies? You know. So, this will be
25:27
posted on the YouTube, my YouTube channel, if
25:31
you don't mind. Cool. All right. So, um. So tell
25:36
me, what's good? What's good in your life right
25:40
now? I do like to say, what's good in your hood?
25:44
What's in your hood? Yes, indeed. What have you
25:48
been up to? I was nominated. I was selected into
25:51
the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame along with the
25:53
entire Dodge House. Ah. We'll let them know on
26:00
the other side when we come back. We'll let them
26:05
know that in a couple minutes, you know, the
26:07
radio station, right? You know, I'm glad you're
26:11
here. Thank you very much for taking time out.
26:16
Cool. What would you have been doing, just hanging
26:18
out? Yeah. Just at home. You know, my son's autistic.
26:24
He was eight years old with it. That's cool.
26:29
And he's all about the technology, you know what
26:31
I mean? Like I am. I'm taking you back into commercial
26:36
radio. Huh. Nice. You got any ideas as to where?
26:42
Maybe Power 105 .3 in Atlanta. Would they take
26:47
you out there? No, I would voice track. You'd
26:49
do it remotely. I'd do a podcast, too. The Hammer
26:54
and Hank Show with Ryan Hoppe. which is live
26:56
on Spotify, iHeartRadio, or wherever you get
26:59
your podcasts. Mr. Hoppy. We can talk about him
27:03
when we come in next, if you want. Okay. Just
27:05
saying what you want to do. Let's play some more
27:11
music. You like hip -hop? No. At all? I go old
27:16
school. What kind of old school? I pop. Okay.
27:22
Sabrina Carpenter. Okay. We'll play some of that.
27:26
Okay, buddy. But you like George Clinton. Yep.
27:36
I like the fact you like George Clinton. What's
27:46
the fast one by Sabrina? What's one with good
27:50
energy? I know. Huh? Espresso. Espresso. Okay.
27:58
Here we go. We'll do that after we talk. Okay,
28:02
baby. And also... And I don't want my favorites
28:09
to be Congress sauces. I heard new ones. I'm
28:17
not sure we have the new ones here. I know. Yeah,
28:21
you know. The latest one we have here. Is the
28:25
espresso. Okay, buddy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we'll
28:32
be back in about a minute. All right, buddy.
28:34
But so yeah, tell them about, tell them what's
28:37
going on, you know. I see that it's in the Bay
28:39
Area for all of him approximately a month ago.
28:43
How'd you find that out? I saw the video. That
28:49
was going in along with the doghouse. That's
28:53
exciting. Yeah. That's exciting. That's exciting.
28:58
I like that. Cool, buddy. About time somebody
29:01
gets taken care of, you know? I used to listen
29:05
to you with the doghouse. I did. Cool, huh? You
29:10
know, JV was crazy, but, you know, that's...
29:14
That's just how it goes, right? But he passed
29:16
away 20, 23 years of Lyme disease. Yeah, man.
29:20
He killed himself. Because he couldn't deal with
29:24
Lyme disease anymore. Lyme disease is a rough
29:27
one. Yep. Almost as bad as cancer, but, you know,
29:31
let's keep it on a good note about him. You can
29:34
spread some good knowledge. So we're coming back
29:36
in 14, 13. Coming back right now. Go ahead, put
29:41
your earphones on. And here we go. That was a
29:49
Tommy Dog, George Clinton. Oh, yes. Sorry about
29:54
that, Hank. Sorry about that. You got it. So
29:57
I'm here with the all -powerful, all -happy,
30:02
all -friendly DJ Hammer and Hank, who has been
30:05
with KCRH for such a long time, but he's also
30:09
ventured off and did some rather big things.
30:12
Cool. You had mentioned something, Hank, that...
30:16
You were in, you just had something that happened
30:21
to you recently. Can you tell the people what
30:23
that was? Me, along with the entire doghouse,
30:27
was elected into the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame.
30:31
Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame. You guys did some
30:36
good music. I mean, it's a good thing that you
30:38
were, you know. So, tell the people out there,
30:42
just... Hal JV on the JV show and everything,
30:48
who you knew rather well. Tell him how he was,
30:53
you know, because I know he passed away. He was
30:55
a very, very, very good person. Yeah, that's
30:58
what I read, you know. Silas Elvis, Hollywood,
31:01
Big Joe, Graham, who currently does the morning
31:05
show at Wild. Does he do the... Graham's still
31:08
at Wild, yes. And also Selena. Selena's still
31:12
at Wild, yeah. Yep. Awesome. That's a true statement.
31:16
You ever talk to them at all? Sometimes I do,
31:20
sometimes I don't. Sometimes you don't have to,
31:23
right? Right. That's the whole name of the game,
31:27
right? Right. Tell me, well, who's your favorite
31:34
nowadays? Who's your favorite artist these days?
31:37
A one in a serena, Carpenter. Who we're going
31:42
to hit up soon after this, but who do you like
31:45
to hear the most? Is it still Sabrina right around
31:48
the corner all the time? You mean the carpenter?
31:50
All the time. I have another favorite song that
31:55
we don't play called Dracula. By Sabrina? No.
32:01
What do you ever say it's called? I'll see if
32:07
we have it. We don't have it. We don't have it.
32:09
Okay. I wish we had it, though. I don't know
32:15
if I've ever played it. I would probably play
32:18
it, too. Yes, indeed. And Jenny. I remember Jenny.
32:22
Okay. All right. So here comes Espresso, Sabrina
32:28
Carpenter. On KCRJ 9 .9 FM, we have Truly, D
32:32

32:54

32:57
you. You don't like the upbeat ones? No. No?
33:01
I just called to say I love you. Thank you to
33:05
all my buddies out there. Okay. We'll play a
33:09
few of his songs. Michael Jackson? Nope. No,
33:13
why? Red Hoppy doesn't like him either. Why?
33:18
Oh, is it because of how weird people think he
33:20
is? Yep. He called him a pedophile. Yeah. He
33:27
called him a pedophile. Yeah. On my podcast.
33:30
Did he? Yeah. Well, I'm going to play a little
33:35
Michael and Stevie. That's okay. Nope. I'd rather
33:38
hear, I just called. That's what I'm saying.
33:42
I'll play some Stevie. To say, I love you. You're
33:49
funny. You're funny. Ryan Hoppy called him that,
33:54
huh? Yep. Well. There it is. Okay, hold on a
34:01
sec. We'll play that. I like the song. Have you
34:07
ever heard the song Skeletons? No. You'll know
34:10
what it is. You'll know. The woman in red. Well,
34:15
there's a woman, but I don't think we have a
34:17
woman in red. I had the song. I'm going to put
34:27
on some Lionel. Lionel Richie. You know who I've
34:31
heard Lionel Richie's song is? What's that? Dancing
34:34
on the ceiling? I... Hello. No, truly. Hello?
34:43
No, I like the Commodores. I like him more than
34:45
he was in the Commodores. Truly. We can play
34:47
some Truly. Or the Night Shift. I love that song.
34:53
Night Shift. The Night Shift. I'll keep it on
35:00
here. We're coming back in... We're coming back
35:04

35:07
Yes, indeed. That was Espresso, Sabrina Carpenter,
35:32
and we're back here with, you guys know who he
35:36
is. Hammerin' Hank. There it is, the DJ Hammerin'
35:39
Hank. Like I said, you've known Hammerin', and
35:43
Hammerin's been in your hearts for a very long
35:46
time, huh, Hank? That's correct. Long time. He's
35:50
been running this show for... He has the ins
35:55
and outs and the do's and the don'ts of the radio
35:57
world in the palm of his hand, and he knows a
36:00
lot of different people. Right, Hank? Yes. And
36:03
a lot of them take care of you. Is that correct?
36:06
That's absolutely correct, buddy. That's what
36:09
should be. That's what should be. So what else
36:17
can we talk about? What would you like to talk
36:19
about? My podcast. Well, let them know. Let them
36:22
know who you are, what you're doing. I have a
36:23
podcast called The Hammer and Hank Show with
36:25
Ryan Hoppe, which is available weekly on Spotify,
36:29
iHeartRadio, wherever you get your podcasts.
36:33
You've got to love that. Wherever you get your
36:35
podcasts. Wherever you get your podcasts. And
36:40
so, how do you know Ryan? I first talked to him
36:46
about two years ago. He invited me on his show
36:49
called The... Hoppy Hour. The Hoppy Hour. And
36:53
can you tell them where that was? It's based
36:55
out of Tampa Bay, Florida. It was a telephone
36:58
interview. And it managed to work out good, right?
37:01
Yeah. How did it work? I mean, would they...
37:06
We talked about my radio career, Wild 84 .9.
37:10
The 94 .9, the Wild, right? That's a good one.
37:14
That's a good one. So, what's your favorite about
37:19
radio? What do you like? I'm trying to get back
37:21
into commercial radio. You said that. What do
37:24
you really, really like about? Interactive people
37:27
via telephone or social media. You can follow
37:31
me on Instagram at DJ Hammer and Hank. Say what
37:35
it is to the people there, Hank. You can follow
37:37
me on Instagram at DJ Hammer and Hank. All right.
37:41
All right. I love it. We're going to play a Stevie
37:45
Wonder song, and then we'll play that song. You
37:47
don't need to say what it is, but we'll play
37:48
that song right after this. We have about 25
37:52
seconds to go. Okay. So we'll play some Stevie,
37:57
then we'll go and we'll play something else after
37:59
that. Something you like. All right, buddy. So
38:01

We truly are. We'll see you guys in a second.
38:23
Have a little fun, huh, Hanky? So much fun. Nice.
38:39
Skeletons in your closet, that's Halloween. Halloween,
38:42
huh? So, you've been doing a lot, huh? Yep. You've
38:49
been doing a lot. So, what do you think of Tom?
38:55
He's a very good teacher. Good teacher, right?
38:58
I think he's a good one. You want to tell me
39:00
how to do radio here? The late Stan Lichtenstein.
39:06
Lichtenstein. I've heard the name. I've never
39:09
met him, but I've heard it. I took a couple of
39:14
his classes back in 1991. It's all right. I've
39:19
been in college since then, too, so I get it.
39:21
I get it. I was also here for Chad's first. We
39:29
were on the quarter system back then. Chad, you
39:31
had... You had Mark Glenn back then, too, huh?
39:34
Chad Mark Glenn. Chad Mark Glenn. Stan Lichtenstein.
39:38
You know who else? Who? Jim Monroe. Jim Monroe.
39:48
Mr. Monroe, who taught the sales class back then.
39:52
All right. Who's another one you want to hear?
39:56
You want to hear Brick House? I like that song.
40:00
Brick House? Okay. We'll do that. Then we'll
40:11
come back, talk some more. I'm glad you're here,
40:14
Hank. Thank you, Eddie. I'm glad you're here.
40:17
Say what's up to the people, you know? What's
40:19
up, buddies? You know, so tell them you sing,
40:24
you go and you sing the... National Anthem, Modesto
40:28
Roasters, Modesto Nets, Sots and Puts, and San
40:31
Jose Giants. How'd you do that? How'd you have
40:34
somebody, how'd you get involved in doing that?
40:36
I sent them an audition tape. Or audition video,
40:40
I should say. The video? Okay. Yep. Did you like
40:43
it? They loved it. It's different, though, huh?
40:46
Audition video. But it's different. It's different.
40:50
It's different, these things. Are you thirsty?
40:55
You good? Yep. Okay. You want to get your soda
41:02
real quick? I can't have it in the studio, though.
41:05
You can put it down there. I'll have a sip of
41:07
it. Okay. I'll be back. Sure. Kissage. All right.
41:40
Thank you, ladies. You're welcome. Who else do
41:47
you want to hear that's old school pop? Old school.
41:52
Like, like, whatever? I did it. You like James
41:56
Brown? Find me. The Godfather of Souls! Yes,
42:02
sir. We'll play some Superbad. I can fine -try
42:13
me. Hey, buddy. You're welcome. It requires a
42:28
lot of editing, huh? Huh? The videos, huh? Yeah,
42:31
yeah. Cool, huh? Yes. Absolutely. My YouTube
42:39
channel is DJ Hammer Night. All right. We'll
42:43
get there. Not a problem. All right. We're coming
42:48
back in 16 seconds there, Hank. That was Skeletons
43:01
in Your Closet. Yeah, I got to keep it a little
43:03
bit of Halloween style. You agree, Hank? You
43:06
agree? Yes. A little Halloween coming up tomorrow,
43:08
you know, go out and be safe, you know. And be
43:11
extremely safe. You got to be extremely safe
43:13
because if you're out there eating candy and
43:17
you're taking it from people, you never know
43:19
what they're going to put out there, right? That's
43:21
correct, buddy. That's the whole thing about
43:23
it. So, you'd like to go out and do the National
43:30
Anthems a little bit, huh? Yes, I sang the National
43:33
Anthem at two Modesto Nets games in 2025. Modesto
43:39
Roasters this past season. San Jose Giants back
43:43
in July, I believe. And also the Stockton Ports.
43:48
I've been to the Port Stadium. That's a nice
43:49
stadium. I mean, I've also been to San Jose Stadium.
43:52
It's nice over there. You know, it's different.
43:55
It's really different. Old school. It definitely
43:58
is old school. It's nothing. If you've ever been
44:01
to San Francisco, people out there, it's nothing
44:05
like AT &T or Oracle is what they call it, right?
44:13
Yep. It's nothing like that. But people still
44:16
call the Coliseum a dump even though they kidded
44:20
it two years ago. A lot of people do call it
44:23
a dump still, but there's a lot of history in
44:25
that quote -unquote dump, right? Yep, Coliseum
44:29
was a dump. But it was good baseball, right?
44:32
Very good baseball. And they could have fixed
44:36
it up, but they chose not to. They chose not
44:38
to because the eighth owner is a prick, John
44:41
Fisher. He's a joke. He's a joke. He's a big
44:46
-time joke, you know. We got to keep it PG there,
44:49
Mr. Hankey. We got to keep it PG. I understand
44:52
what you're saying. I've met him. I understand
44:58
that the guy, there was a lot of different stuff
45:01
going on with Mr. Fisher. Yep. I wish he was
45:08
on the team, but unfortunately, he didn't. Yeah,
45:12
he's... They're in Vegas. They're going to be
45:15
in Vegas. We can talk more about that when we
45:18
come back on the other side. Here's a song that
45:21
my guest wanted to hear. I'll let him hear what
45:26
it is. Another Stevie Wonder, but I think you
45:31
know who it is, sir. But there's another one.
45:36
You just called, right? I just called to say
45:39
I love you. I dedicate this to all my fans out
45:43
there. I love my fans very, very much. It's KCHA
45:47
9 .9 FM. We are truly the space of sorority.
45:50
Let's go. Nicely done, Hank. Nicely done, yo.
46:01
You're on key. You are on cue. I don't have to
46:06
say nothing. Awesome. Awesome. We are. I love
46:15
this song. I remember you called in and wanted
46:20
me to play some songs for you, but that's before
46:22
I met you. That was a while back. I don't see
46:29
you trying me here. How about another song you
46:33
like? What's the other song you like? Demi Lovato.
46:39
Okay. We can play some Demi. Really don't care.
46:47
Really don't care. Really don't care. Let me
46:59
find this. I got some time. Oh, that's how she
47:08
spells it. So tell me, so tell me what's going
47:25
to, what you're going to do for the, anything
47:27
good coming up that you're going to be doing
47:29
that the people need to know about? Oh, November
47:34
16th is my birthday. Ah, going to go anywhere?
47:39
Probably just with my sisters to the breakfast
47:42
club for breakfast. Ah. It's in Castro Valley.
47:47
Pretty local then, huh? Yeah. Cool. I don't see,
47:51
oh, here we go. We will play Really Don't Care.
47:57
Yeah, Really Don't Care. Chair Lloyd? Yep. Okay.
48:05
All right. So before I cut off the YouTube, tell
48:14
the people out there anything you want. Just
48:18
go ahead and look at them and tell them in the
