  All right, Hammer and Hank, if I hit the button
• 0:02
  right here, would you be ready to begin episode
• 0:04
  58 or 59? Whichever one. Yes, buddy. Let me hit
• 0:09
  the button. You're listening to The Hammer and
• 0:12
  Hank Show with Henry Oaks and Ryan Hoppy. Yeah.
• 0:50
  How are you? You're good? How you been? What
• 1:00
  you been up to? What's been going on in the world
• 1:03
  of Hammer and Hank? A lot of my regular radio
• 1:08
  buddies just got laid off. Yeah, let's start
• 1:12
  with the elf in the room. Hammer and Hank, you've
• 1:17
  been in radio about 40 years. You've been around
• 1:20
  the block. What is your take on what iHeart did
• 1:25
  by laying people off? Really, really, really
• 1:31
  suck. What sucks about it, Sarge? My buddy Sam
• 1:36
  Diggity and Showbiz, they just got laid off from
• 1:39
  K -D -O -N Salinas. Ah, was that the morning
• 1:44
  madhouse? Yes. Oh, my God. I mean, they could
• 1:48
  have had a better name because Mancow had a first
• 1:49
  name. They were doing the morning manhouse for
• 1:51
  over 20 years. Yeah, and I heart's always wondering
• 1:55
  why they are just so irrelevant. And then they
• 2:00
  lay people off. Oh, and I'm sure they're going
• 2:02
  to put the breakfast club in the morning. Woo!
• 2:07
  Jesus Christ, Hank. I never... Live and local.
• 2:13
  Are any of the shows live and local on that market
• 2:16
  anymore? Nope. Ah, goody, goody gumdrops. Hey,
• 2:21
  but at least Bobby Mint gets his money. Douche.
• 2:24
  Ah, Hammer and Hank, I never want to hear anybody
• 2:27
  ever go, oh, he created MTV. It wasn't just him.
• 2:32
  It was other people. But they always go, oh,
• 2:35
  he created MTV. And look what MTV is now. It
• 2:39
  sucks. This is fucking garbage. Hammer and Hank.
• 2:45
  I used to be a defender of radio. I still work
• 2:49
  in radio. You work in radio. We love radio. We
• 2:52
  grew up as radio nerds. But I'm starting to,
• 2:55
  it's like I'm in a business relationship with
• 2:58
  radio. Beforehand, I loved it. It was like having
• 3:02
  that hot ass girlfriend. But now I'm like, you
• 3:04
  know what? It's all good. It's not really all
• 3:07
  good. Hammer and Hank, they let go of Kid Chris,
• 3:10
  who is a shock jock out of Cincinnati on WEBN,
• 3:14
  one of my friends. And that broke my heart. It
• 3:18
  did too. I mean, you look at... Yeah, thank God.
• 3:25
  Grams implied. I know, but the thing is, people
• 3:29
  wonder, why don't people listen to radio? Because
• 3:31
  you get a... The term is parasocial. You get
• 3:33
  a parasocial relationship with the radio host.
• 3:36
  You think they're your friend. And all of a sudden,
• 3:38
  you let go of them without any goodbye shows.
• 3:41
  They got rid of Flying Brian over in Four Myers.
• 3:45
  He's been there since 01. And then iHeart's like,
• 3:48
  dude, you know what's the funniest thing they're
• 3:50
  doing, Hank? What is it? They're having executives,
• 3:53
  like some of the head of social media, do on
• 3:57
  -air breaks. So in Tampa, on the throwback hip
• 4:01
  -hop station, which is like the same four songs.
• 4:04
  It's Always on Time by Ja Rule. It's Lose Yourself
• 4:08
  by Eminem. It's very predictable. What's Your
• 4:10
  Fantasy by Ludacris is the same four throwbacks.
• 4:13
  But Hank, beforehand, you would have a DJ be
• 4:15
  like, yo, what's up? This is DJ Twisted or whatever.
• 4:18
  And check out the iHeartRadio app. It's really
• 4:21
  cool, blah, blah, blah. Because every talk break
• 4:23
  is about the iHeart app. And now you have these
• 4:25
  corporate nerds going, well, if you check out
• 4:29
  the iHeartRadio app, there. It sucks. My iHeartRadio
• 4:37
  app. Because I listen to my Hanky's favorite
• 4:40
  songs on there. What is your music on iHeart?
• 4:49
  What is the music with iHeart? What do you listen
• 4:52
  to on there? Do you like Covino and Rich? Those
• 5:04
  are my homies. Yep. They're funny, dude. They're
• 5:08
  good guys. Hammer and Hank. Let's talk positively
• 5:12
  about radio. Do me a favor. What is your radio
• 5:19
  memory of the week? My radio memory of the week?
• 5:26
  When the first time I walked into the sound factory
• 5:29
  on my birthday back in 1996. Was that when you
• 5:34
  got a blood job? Nope. Was that the second time
• 5:38
  you came? Oh, yeah. Hammer and Hank, what was
• 5:41
  it like on your birthday at the Sound Factory?
• 5:44
  It was very, very, very good. And I predicted
• 5:48
  that 1997 would be a good year. As it turned
• 5:53
  out, 1997 was a great year. What was so good
• 5:56
  about it? I was in preschool. I met my buddies
• 6:01
  Veronica and Julie. Jose from Oakland. Monica
• 6:06
  from Union City. That's good. Those are good
• 6:11
  memories that you will cherish forever. Good
• 6:14
  for you, Hank. Breaking news. What's breaking
• 6:19
  news? LeBron James could be head to the Warriors.
• 6:23
  Wait, wait, wait. Is this like breaking news
• 6:25
  like right now or is this speculation? We need
• 6:31
  speculation. You got me nervous. I don't want
• 6:34
  him to do it. I don't want him on the Warriors.
• 6:37
  I watch the Warriors. I don't want him on the
• 6:38
  Warriors because they'll fucking jack up ticket
• 6:40
  prices. And also, he's a douchebag. And he's
• 6:45
  a crybaby. I like my team with Kerry Bono. I
• 6:50
  don't need him there. No, it does. But of course,
• 6:54
  he's a bandwagon jumper, like a woman. And all
• 6:58
  he does is he goes from team to team. He's a
• 7:01
  douche. And you know what's... Ron James is a
• 7:04
  crybaby. You know what was genius that he did?
• 7:07
  Was he waited until his son got a guaranteed
• 7:10
  contract and then left the Lakers. So he stuck
• 7:13
  them with that nepo baby douche. That was very
• 7:16
  smart. He made sure his son got paid. Oh, yeah.
• 7:24
  Hammer and egg. Yes. Any other radio memories?
• 7:31
  Yes. What? Doghouse, what? First time I walked
• 7:37
  into old school 1079 when my dad and my sisters
• 7:41
  were fat. We did an autism PSA. Yeah. We loved
• 7:48
  it. It was nominated for Best PSA by the Kansas
• 7:52
  Association of Broadcasters. Hammer and Hank.
• 7:55
  Although it didn't win, but I'm still happy with
• 7:58
  the nomination. You're a bridesmaid, which are
• 8:01
  usually hotter than the life. Hammer and Hank,
• 8:03
  I'm going to play your PSA. Is it the one from
• 8:04
  2016 or 2019? It's the one from 2019. I'll play
• 8:10
  it right now. Hello again, it's your favorite
• 8:14
  San Francisco DJ, Hammerin' Hank. I may look
• 8:17
  normal, but the truth is, I have a condition
• 8:20
  known as autism. That's right, it's a condition,
• 8:23
  not a disease. That is, autism can strike anyone,
• 8:27
  regardless of who they are. People with autism
• 8:29
  normally have difficulties in verbal and nonverbal
• 8:32
  communication skills, social interactions, and
• 8:35
  leisure activities. In a recent study, people
• 8:38
  with autism are less likely to have a job and
• 8:40
  more likely to become homeless. I beat the odds
• 8:43
  by having loving friends and family, having a
• 8:46
  college education. I have even worked in the
• 8:49
  San Francisco Bay Area as an honorary personality
• 8:51
  for many years. Always remember that people with
• 8:54
  autism want the same things as you to be happy
• 8:56
  and successful. To find out more about autism,
• 8:59
  please contact your local mental health center
• 9:02
  or visit autismspeech .org. This is Cameron Hink
• 9:06
  and I appreciate you coming. Welcome back to
• 9:14
  the show. We're all hanging out. How are you?
• 9:18
  Pretty good. You make very good PSAs, by the
• 9:21
  way. How was your recent visit to the San Francisco
• 9:26
  Giants game? Pretty good. What'd you do? I saw
• 9:33
  a baseball game. I know that. Interactive some
• 9:36
  people. Did you hear it? The Giants lost to the
• 9:39
  homeless A's 9 -6. I love when you say homelessness.
• 9:43
  Hammer and Hank, did you get recognized? Not
• 9:48
  really. Oh, man. You got to go out there wearing
• 9:51
  a shirt that says, like, Hammer and Hank's the
• 9:54
  man. Suck my neck, you know. That would definitely
• 9:56
  help your cause. Who did you go to the game with?
• 10:00
  Myself. By yourself? Yes. Wow, that's awesome.
• 10:04
  See, you are an example of someone with autism
• 10:07
  who is still able to go out and about. You took
• 10:09
  the bus, right? Yes, I take Bart and the Muni.
• 10:13
  I love taking the Bart, especially when it goes
• 10:16
  by the, what is it, Ghirardelli chocolate or
• 10:19
  whatever. I love that place. Anywho, Hammer and
• 10:23
  Egg. Yes. Who are some old school artists you'd
• 10:28
  love to meet? I got knocked off. No, you're here.
• 10:32
  I can hear you. Can you hear me? I can hear you.
• 10:37
  You can hear me? Yes. You didn't get knocked
• 10:40
  off. You're just tripping balls on weed or whatever.
• 10:42
  I'm just kidding. I'll have her at Hank. Let's
• 10:44
  keep moving on and do this. Uh, what are some
• 10:46
  old school artists you'd love to meet? Also,
• 10:54
  uh, Madonna. That's awesome. We got some comments
• 11:00
  here. Hammer and Hank, I have been a fan of you
• 11:03
  since when you sang the national anthem last
• 11:06
  year. I had not heard of you prior, but now I
• 11:10
  love the show. Keep up the good work. So we got
• 11:14
  a listener message there. Hammer and Hank, if
• 11:17
  I hit the music, because I need to laugh right
• 11:19
  now, laugh and remain and do whatever. If I hit
• 11:22
  the music right now, would you be ready for jokes?
• 11:26
  Yes. Let me hit the music. All right. I know.
• 11:58
  Why do I always wait until my phone is at 1 %
• 12:03
  to charge it? Why? Because I like living on the
• 12:08
  edge. Why do I keep saying, I'll be there in
• 12:14
  five minutes? Why? Because I'm still in the shower.
• 12:19
  Sounds less professional. Why do I love self
• 12:25
  -checkout? Why? Because it's the only job where
• 12:30
  nobody complains about my work. Why do I always
• 12:36
  hit remind me tomorrow? Why? Because tomorrow
• 12:40
  has a much better attitude than today. Ah, geez.
• 12:45
  Why do I always check the weather five times
• 12:50
  a day? Why? Because maybe this time it'll say
• 12:54
  72 and 70. It's that in Florida, but plus 18.
• 12:59
  Why do I always lose the TV remote? Why? Because
• 13:04
  apparently it enjoys taking little vacations.
• 13:10
  Why do I always wave at people even when I'm
• 13:14
  not sure it's them? Why? Because embarrassment
• 13:20
  only lasts a few seconds. Why do I keep opening
• 13:26
  the same app over and over? Why? Because maybe
• 13:29
  this time something interesting happened. Why
• 13:34
  do I always save leftovers? Why? Because future
• 13:39
  me deserves a little surprise. And finally, why
• 13:45
  do I tell myself one more snack? Why? Because
• 13:48
  the first four didn't seem convincing enough.
• 13:51
  Ha ha ha! And that's it for the jokes. Good job,
• 13:57
  Hank. Hammer and Hank. If I hit the music, would
• 14:01
  you be ready for music trivia? Yes. One second.
• 14:06
  Right here. The top ten country crossover hit,
• 14:41
  Behold the Closed Doors, way back in 1974. Oh,
• 14:46
  Jesus Christ. I was like, not even my parents
• 14:50
  had any of that. I don't know. Dolly Parton.
• 14:54
  Lady Witch. Oh, there you go. Who has the top
• 14:59
  ten R &B hit record, nobody knows, way back in
• 15:03
  the late 90s? Give me a second. I think. Genuine?
• 15:12
  You're close. The Tony Rich Project. Oh, and
• 15:15
  I never got that, but I appreciate you saying
• 15:17
  I'm close. Any other ones? That's it for this
• 15:20
  week. Hank, do you know what I'm playing right
• 15:23
  now? Yes. What am I playing? Church music. Hell
• 15:28
  yeah! Can you hear it on your end? Nope. You
• 15:33
  just have that chemistry with me. You know what
• 15:36
  I'm doing. What's going on in church? After John's
• 15:41
  returning for a brief time this Sunday, I will
• 15:45
  continue the book of 1 Peter. How's that going?
• 15:50
  Pretty good. What are you learning about with
• 15:53
  Jesus? To become a better person. I think you're
• 15:58
  getting up to it already. And also, Pastor John
• 16:02
  is leaving at the end of this month for surgery.
• 16:05
  I hope he feels better. Anything else going on
• 16:09
  in church? That's it. Hank, if I hit the music,
• 16:14
  are you ready for Buddy of the Week? Yes. Let's
• 16:17
  go. Buddy of the Week. We're going to get the
• 16:38
  crown. Hank bringing smiles. All right, Hank,
• 16:48
  who's your body addict? Definitely Miguel and
• 16:52
  also everyone in the San Jose Giants organization
• 16:57
  for inviting me to sing the National Anthem on
• 17:00
  the 21st of this month at the Excite Ballpark
• 17:03
  in San Jose. When did you get invited? How many
• 17:07
  days ago? About... A month ago. Good. You got
• 17:12
  so much happening. It's hard to keep track. But
• 17:16
  good job, Hank. Thank you, buddy. Any other buddies?
• 17:21
  That's it. Are you ready for pricking the news?
• 17:24
  Yes. Let's go. Right now. As I turn up the music.
• 17:28
  Mm -hmm. Streetwise vibes on this radio road.
• 17:37
  Straight out the dim lit. Outro Music All right,
• 18:13
  Hank, who's your prick of the week? It's me.
• 18:17
  All the masterminds at iHeartMedia for laying
• 18:21
  off a lot of my buddies after years and years
• 18:24
  of experience. That would be Bob Eman, the douchebag.
• 18:33
  He's my prick of the week. There you go. Anything
• 18:36
  else on your mind, Hank? Well, I got to say what's
• 18:43
  up to all my buddies at 1 -8 -4 -9 for still
• 18:46
  having the job. Yeah, shout out. As much crap
• 18:50
  talking as I do about that douche crap, I'm telling
• 18:54
  you, I don't want anybody to be unemployed. You
• 18:56
  can be the biggest douche ever, and I'm rooting
• 18:59
  for you. So if you're still employed, you got
• 19:01
  to be freaking out a little bit. Hank, is there
• 19:07
  anything else? I wanted to talk about the 60s
• 19:09
  TV shows. I forgot about that. What's happening
• 19:12
  with shows from almost 70 years ago? I used to
• 19:16
  watch the Flintstones, the Jetsons. I love the
• 19:19
  Jetsons. It's better. And also the TV show Combat,
• 19:23
  which is a wartime drama. Hey, guy, what's better,
• 19:27
  Flintstones or Jetsons? I like the Flintstones.
• 19:33
  We have a disagreement, and that's because we
• 19:35
  are friends. I prefer the Jetsons. My favorite
• 19:40
  justice catcher is Mr. Spacely. I think his wife's
• 19:45
  a hot ass mouth. Okay. Yeah. Anyway. Anything
• 19:53
  else, Hank? That should do it. All right. Let
• 19:57
  me hit the music. All right. Here. One second.
• 20:01
  One second. Let me do this right here. Before
• 20:06
  we sign off, Hank, because we always sign off
• 20:07
  so fast. Can you believe we've done 68 shows?
• 20:13
  I mean, 58. Yes. It's crazy. It's flying by.
• 20:17
  That's what it comes. Oh, yeah. A thousand? Hell,
• 20:20
  yeah. Something like that. If we live that long,
• 20:21
  we do it once a week. Hammer and Hank, any final
• 20:25
  thoughts? Never give up. Always stay focused
• 20:30
  on your goals. And maybe Sunday, your dreams
• 20:34
  will come true. And I'll talk to you next week.
• 20:36
  Peace in your hood. Bye, Hank! Peace you get,
• 20:40
  buddy. Bye, buddy. I love you. I love you too.
• 20:43
  Oh, that's cute. He finally said he loved me.
• 20:46
  He always dances around it, but he said it. I
• 20:50
  don't need the approval of women. I got it from
• 20:53
  Hank. That made my day. Bye. Yo. Yo. Yo. Mike
