Hammerin' Hank: 54 Episodes, Hot 97.7 & Radio Dreams
The Hammerin' Hank Show, Episode 54: Semester's End, Radio Memories & Pop Trivia
Hank's wrapping the semester at Shibow College, and that means one thing: time to reflect on what made him fall in love with radio in the first place. This episode kicks off with his radio memory of the week, walking into KFIV in Modesto back in 1982 during a Giants broadcast, a moment that shaped everything that came after.
From there, the show pivots into what Hank's building at Hot 97.7: cleaner sound, more pop music, and the kind of energy that made Bay Area radio legendary. Ryan pushes him on his goals, and Hank delivers the goods, no fluff, just focus.
The NBA Playoffs get their moment (Warriors injuries, Thunder hate, and a wild story about seeing Jalen Brunson crush Hank's high school friends back in 2012). Pop music trivia follows: Blondie's "The Tide is High," Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway," and The Sandpipers' "Guantanamera", the kind of deep-cut knowledge that separates real radio heads from casual listeners.
Hank's jokes land hard (why he checks the fridge, why mornings feel like surprise attacks, why jeans are a personal attack), and his Buddy of the Week shout-outs go to everyone at Hot 97.7 Fresno and the crew at First Church in Caster Valley who kept him believing.
The episode closes with a full 15-minute interview from Evolve the Earth podcast, Hank's full radio origin story, from tearing antennas off radios as a kid to singing the National Anthem at Minnesota Nets games.

heck are you doing, buddy? I'm doing pretty heckin'
00:01:05.950 --> 00:01:09.450
good. If I hit the opening intro. Are you ready
00:01:09.450 --> 00:01:13.709
for the show? Yes, I am, buddy. Let's go. You're
00:01:13.709 --> 00:01:16.650
listening to The Hammerin' Hank Show with Henry
00:01:16.650 --> 00:01:30.569
Oaks and Ryan Hoppy. Yeah. Uh. Uh. Yeah. Hammerin'
00:01:30.569 --> 00:01:51.719
Hank. Legend on the air. What up, Hank? How are
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.599
you? How the heck are you doing, buddy? I'm doing
00:01:54.599 --> 00:02:00.180
okay. Why are you doing okay? Because the semester's
00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:03.349
wrapped in Natural College. Wait, let me turn
00:02:03.349 --> 00:02:06.849
off the music. It's what? The semester is about
00:02:06.849 --> 00:02:09.550
to end at Chabot College for the spring. Oh,
00:02:09.610 --> 00:02:15.050
man, it flew by, didn't it, Hanky? Yep. Time
00:02:15.050 --> 00:02:19.270
flies so fast, buddy. It's frightening. I have
00:02:19.270 --> 00:02:22.449
her in Hank, since time is flying. What is your
00:02:22.449 --> 00:02:26.849
radio memory of the week? My radio memory of
00:02:26.849 --> 00:02:32.889
the week is when I first walked into a... K -F
00:02:32.889 --> 00:02:37.009
-I -V -M, that's way back in 1982. What was that
00:02:37.009 --> 00:02:41.330
like? They were in the Giants game, and to talk
00:02:41.330 --> 00:02:44.930
about me in the studio, his name was Bill King.
00:02:45.389 --> 00:02:49.069
Did you have a good time that day? Yes. That's
00:02:49.069 --> 00:02:52.930
good. They were in the Giants game, like I said
00:02:52.930 --> 00:02:56.389
earlier. Are there any other memories in the
00:02:56.389 --> 00:03:00.990
business of radio that you have? Not this week.
00:03:01.449 --> 00:03:04.889
That's okay, buddy. Henry and Hank, what are
00:03:04.889 --> 00:03:10.550
your goals at Hot 97 .7? To make it sound as
00:03:10.550 --> 00:03:15.490
good as it can. And also to play more pop music.
00:03:15.770 --> 00:03:19.270
That's good. Now that the semester is over, you
00:03:19.270 --> 00:03:21.969
can completely focus on learning the equipment.
00:03:22.909 --> 00:03:26.990
Yep. Are you excited about that? I'm very excited.
00:03:27.270 --> 00:03:29.770
You do know, if you ever need any help, I can't
00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:31.330
help out because I'm 2 ,000 miles away, but you
00:03:31.330 --> 00:03:34.909
can reach out to Alex or Gilbert. Thank you,
00:03:34.909 --> 00:03:37.250
buddy. You're quite welcome, Hammer and Hank.
00:03:38.009 --> 00:03:40.069
Cool, buddy. So let me play this music right
00:03:40.069 --> 00:03:44.710
here. Dude, it is the NBA playoffs with the Spurs
00:03:44.710 --> 00:03:48.689
playing the Thunder and the Knicks beating the
00:03:48.689 --> 00:03:51.770
Cavaliers. Hammer and Hank, what is your take?
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.719
My take on the NBA playoffs is it's just okay
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.639
because the Warriors aren't in there. I know.
00:04:01.340 --> 00:04:04.300
They screwed up this year. I know. I missed them.
00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:09.780
They should call the injury hotline. That injury
00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:14.319
hotline is 856 - 49 happy. It's 856. Or you can
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:19.779
reach me on the IG at DJ Hammer and Hank. You
00:04:19.779 --> 00:04:22.920
sound so hip the way you said IG, brah. Yo, yo,
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:28.139
yo, yo, yo. DJ Hammer and Hank. What do you think
00:04:28.139 --> 00:04:33.480
of the Thunder and SGA? I hope the Warriors make
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.959
it to the playoffs this year. I hate the Thunder.
00:04:36.060 --> 00:04:37.920
I hate the Spurs. You mean next year. I hate
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:42.220
the Cavs, but I do like the Knicks. Well, first
00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:44.519
of all, you meant the Warriors next year because
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.040
they can't this year. Yeah. Well, in high school,
00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:50.399
I went to John Hersey High School. And in 2012,
00:04:50.699 --> 00:04:53.720
we played Stevenson, which is a very rich school.
00:04:54.060 --> 00:04:57.079
And there was a freshman in his very first playoff
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.259
game. His name was Jalen Brunson. He was 15 years
00:05:00.259 --> 00:05:04.860
old. Okay. I'm telling you a story. And Jalen
00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:08.100
Brunson obviously is the man in New York City
00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:12.319
on the Knicks, correct? Yep. He scored 30 points
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.800
on my friends and made them cry. There's a crying
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.420
in basketball. Plenty of crying in basketball.
00:05:19.579 --> 00:05:22.620
It was on my friend. It ain't the boy Poe show.
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.720
Isn't that crazy though that I saw him 15 years
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:35.180
ago crush my friends? That's interesting. Do
00:05:35.180 --> 00:05:37.600
you really think it's interesting or not really?
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.379
I'm just kidding. Not really. Because they crush
00:05:42.379 --> 00:05:46.420
your friends. All my friends cried, Hank. It
00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:50.199
was crazy. Like I said, there is no crying in
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.560
basketball. There's no crying in baseball. Hank,
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.620
I'm going to hit the music. Hopefully you approve
00:05:56.620 --> 00:05:58.920
of this content. I'm going to hit the music,
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.519
and we are going to do your jokes, okay? But
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:07.019
let me hit the music. All right. On now. Hank's
00:06:07.019 --> 00:06:09.500
joke hittin', like a thumper from the trunk Punch
00:06:09.500 --> 00:06:12.500
lines crackin' louder than a cat, no punk Rhyme,
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.279
hobby ride, shotgun with oak Droppin' these last
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.439
crew, never goin' broke It's a hammerin' Hank
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.259
show, keepin' it raw Joke sharper than a blade,
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.399
cuttin' through the saw Every segment fire, humor
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.079
like a burn Tune in for the laughs, watch the
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.939
tables turn Hey Hank, what are your jokes for
00:06:28.939 --> 00:06:32.759
the week? Why'd I keep checking the fridge? Why?
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.819
Because apparently... I think pizza renegades
00:06:36.819 --> 00:06:43.360
overnight. Why do I hate mornings? Why? Because
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.360
everybody feels like a surprise attack. I feel
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:52.120
that. Why did I buy coffee today? Why? Because
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:58.300
being awake naturally isn't working out. Why
00:06:58.300 --> 00:07:02.980
do I lose my keys? Why? Because my brain likes
00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:07.779
hiding and seek more than I do. That is a mouthful.
00:07:09.019 --> 00:07:13.060
Why do I love sweatpants so much? Why? Because
00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:18.540
jeans feel like a personal attack. I don't wear
00:07:18.540 --> 00:07:22.339
jeans that much anymore. That is... Why do I
00:07:22.339 --> 00:07:25.550
avoid phone calls? Why? Because if it's important,
00:07:25.790 --> 00:07:31.949
don't text me anyway. Why do I keep saying I'll
00:07:31.949 --> 00:07:36.050
clean tomorrow? Why? Because future me is apparently
00:07:36.050 --> 00:07:42.170
a janitor. Why do I bring my phone into the bathroom?
00:07:42.550 --> 00:07:49.009
Why? Because sounds is terrifying now. Why do
00:07:49.009 --> 00:07:52.490
I love payday? Why? Because for about six minutes.
00:07:52.970 --> 00:07:55.889
I feel financially stable. That is sad to think
00:07:55.889 --> 00:08:00.149
about. And the final joke of this week. Why do
00:08:00.149 --> 00:08:03.970
I always need a nap after eating? Why? Because
00:08:03.970 --> 00:08:07.389
digestion is a full -time job. And that's it
00:08:07.389 --> 00:08:10.629
for the jokes of this week. All right, Henry
00:08:10.629 --> 00:08:12.589
and Hank, you can't hear it. You'll hear it after.
00:08:13.189 --> 00:08:21.350
What type of music do you think I have on? Church
00:08:21.350 --> 00:08:25.970
music. Yes, sir. What's going on in church? We're
00:08:25.970 --> 00:08:29.350
still studying the book of James. First James
00:08:29.350 --> 00:08:34.409
it is. With Pastor John. How's that going? Pretty
00:08:34.409 --> 00:08:38.269
good. Is there any improvements or is it good
00:08:38.269 --> 00:08:41.289
enough? Good enough. What else have you been
00:08:41.289 --> 00:08:53.019
praying to Jesus about? You're a legend, Hank.
00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:57.320
You're a saint. Thank you, buddy. By the way,
00:08:57.340 --> 00:09:01.519
I want to, I'm going to play the clip after I
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.480

that. I'm going to play the clip right here of

you mentioning the show. What is the name of
00:09:21.350 --> 00:09:23.710
your podcast and what is it about? The Hammer
00:09:23.710 --> 00:09:27.789
and Hank Show. Okay. It's on Spotify. My buddy
00:09:27.789 --> 00:09:30.509
Ryan Hoppe co -hosted with me. We talk about
00:09:30.509 --> 00:09:33.629
a lot of topics. So back to the other podcast,
00:09:33.750 --> 00:09:36.690
the one with Ryan, how did you meet him and how
00:09:36.690 --> 00:09:38.730
did you get connected to do that podcast? Well,
00:09:38.850 --> 00:09:42.070
I was a guest on the Hoppe of Ryan Hoppe a year
00:09:42.070 --> 00:09:45.470
ago. He loved me so much that he decided to launch
00:09:45.470 --> 00:09:48.509
my podcast called The Hammer and Hank Show. That's
00:09:48.509 --> 00:09:50.870
awesome, Hank. I appreciate it. Hank, we're going
00:09:50.870 --> 00:09:53.429
to - Thank you. The interview's on my YouTube
00:09:53.429 --> 00:09:57.750
channel at DJ Hammer and Hank. You know what
00:09:57.750 --> 00:10:00.289
else we're going to do, Hank? Yes. Because I
00:10:00.289 --> 00:10:01.889
care about you so much. You're like my brother.
00:10:02.129 --> 00:10:05.070
I'm going to, at the end of the show, I'm going
00:10:05.070 --> 00:10:09.049
to include all 15 minutes of the interview so
00:10:09.049 --> 00:10:12.690
people can listen to it here. Cool, buddy. Hammer
00:10:12.690 --> 00:10:16.659
and Hank, we got a comment here. You are a legend.
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.639
I am so proud of seeing the growth you've had,
00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:24.379
and you did good on Evolve the Earth. Thank you,
00:10:24.379 --> 00:10:27.360
buddy. Another one. Hammer and Hank, I used to
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.440
love driving around San Francisco seeing your
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.500
billboard. Do you remember that billboard? Yes,
00:10:33.500 --> 00:10:38.120
I definitely remember it. What was it like? It
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.120
was for the 2004 presidential election campaign.
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:45.860
How crazy was it seeing your face up there? Extremely
00:10:45.860 --> 00:10:51.259
funny. Hank, if I hit the music, are you ready
00:10:51.259 --> 00:11:15.649
for pop culture trivia? Yes. Gotta keep it real,
00:11:15.730 --> 00:11:18.529
can't let it slide. Answers in my head, can't
00:11:18.529 --> 00:11:21.889
let them hide. Pop Trivia. Yeah, we bringin'
00:11:21.889 --> 00:11:24.029
the heat. Hey, hey. What do you have for Pop
00:11:24.029 --> 00:11:28.570
Trivia? Who has a top ten hit record? The tide
00:11:28.570 --> 00:11:37.309
is high. Way back in 1980. Madonna? No, Blondie.
00:11:37.549 --> 00:11:39.429
I should have known that. I like that song, though.
00:11:39.769 --> 00:11:43.779
A footnote to this. What's up? Local artist Angelina
00:11:43.779 --> 00:11:46.539
did a cover version of this song way back in
00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:50.480
1997. There was another artist. Maybe it was
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.320
her. There was another artist that covered it
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.600
in like the 2000s. Radio Disney used to play
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:59.259
it. But what if I need to play the Angelina version?
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.659
You live your Angelina. It was World War 7 back
00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:05.200
in the day. Hank, we've been recording for 11
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.299
minutes and 11 seconds. Make a wish. My wish
00:12:09.299 --> 00:12:14.500
is to, uh, Improved the podcast. Y 'all do that.
00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:21.740
I appreciate it, buddy. Any other trivia? Who
00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:25.120
has a top ten hit record breakaway way back in
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:31.539
2003? Kelly Clarkson. Correct. Yeah! I got it.
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.559
You have any other ones? Who had a top ten hit
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:41.559
record Guantanamera way back in... 1966. Oh,
00:12:41.580 --> 00:12:45.840
my God. I was negative 27. I see. The Beatles?
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.440
The Sandpipers. Never heard of them. Did you
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:54.820
like them? Yes. I played location on KTH. Nice.
00:12:54.940 --> 00:12:58.399
You played quite the selection, Hank. Thank you.
00:12:58.460 --> 00:13:01.320
That's why we're a variety station. Our logo
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.919
is the East Bay's Best Variety. Anything else,
00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:08.620
Hank? That's it for music trivia for this week.
00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:10.220
I'm going to hit the prick in the news music.
00:13:11.779 --> 00:13:16.679
Let me turn it up in the club. Straight up and
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:19.179
dim lit. Henry on the mic. What's this? Prick
00:13:19.179 --> 00:13:21.700
in the news. Who's thinking they slick? Ryan
00:13:21.700 --> 00:13:24.840
got the scoop crew ready to expose. Shots fired
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.139
dodging pigs in the petty pros. Coppers in the
00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:29.600
back. Hoppy with that verbal machete. Every word
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:31.240
on weapon cameras rolling. Y 'all ain't ready.
00:13:31.659 --> 00:13:35.100
Keyboard warrior. Behind the screen. There's
00:13:35.100 --> 00:13:40.379
the prick in the news. Every panhandler who always
00:13:40.379 --> 00:13:44.659
asks me for 50 cents. What do you say back to
00:13:44.659 --> 00:13:49.159
them? Get a job. Or the only thing I have for
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:54.139
them is a cup of hot piss. You're the best, bro.
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.399
You always say that. Where'd you get that line
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:01.059
from? I made it up myself at the 1A Fine Comedy
00:14:01.059 --> 00:14:05.519
Jam way back in 2002. You're awesome. Did the
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:10.059
crowd laugh? Yes, they did. Did the crowd laugh?
00:14:10.580 --> 00:14:14.700
Yes, they did. Nice. Anybody else in prick in
00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:17.480
the news? That's it for this week. All right.
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:19.440
Let's be a little more positive after calling
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.440
people pricks. I'm going to hit the music. Are
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.360
you ready for buddy of the week? Yes. Let me
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:49.820
hit it. Mm -hmm. I'm over here getting pumped
00:14:49.820 --> 00:14:54.200
up. Hank, you pumped me up, dude. Okay, my buddy
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.159
of the week is everyone at Hot 97 .7 Fresno.
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:02.179
For encouraging me not to give up on my radio
00:15:02.179 --> 00:15:07.240
career. Also, my buddy Tom Lothlian. Alan Sampson,
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.460
which I call Big Al. Yeah. And all my buddies
00:15:11.460 --> 00:15:15.139
at the CV First Church in Castro Valley. Yes,
00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:20.120
sir. Selena from Longing for Mine. Sounder Pena,
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:26.549
who I think I got. A radio gig. Nice! You're
00:15:26.549 --> 00:15:28.889
a good dude. You got me the radio gig at High
00:15:28.889 --> 00:15:32.909
97 .7, bro. Because, uh, Sonda Pinkness started
00:15:32.909 --> 00:15:35.909
as a promotions intern at the age of 17. What
00:15:35.909 --> 00:15:39.230
a legend. You're a legend too, Hanky. Cool, buddy.
00:15:39.549 --> 00:15:42.029
Anybody else? Now she does mid -days at Mega
00:15:42.029 --> 00:15:46.230
96 .3 in LA. Hell yeah. Anybody else with Buddy
00:15:46.230 --> 00:15:50.009
of the Week? That's it. Do you got anything else
00:15:50.009 --> 00:15:54.259
going on in the cranium, the brain of Hank? Getting
00:15:54.259 --> 00:15:57.460
ready for a long, hot summer full of podcasts
00:15:57.460 --> 00:16:01.899
and Hot 97 .7. Yes, I love it. I love it. You
00:16:01.899 --> 00:16:05.879
ready to date some hot -ass Latino women? Yep.
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.240
We're going to make it happen, Captain. Anything
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:12.539
else in your brain? I wish I could see Ariana
00:16:12.539 --> 00:16:15.279
Grande in concert. She's way... When she comes
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.080
to the Bay Area later this year. That is... We're
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.580
going to... Hey. Jay, you got... Well, not Jay
00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:25.220
B. Rest in peace. You got Graham. Selena, Woody,
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:29.399
Menace, the people at the Breeze. Why don't you
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.840
ask them for tickets? Because I'm flat broke.
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:38.100
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hank, listen
00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:40.639
to me. I'm taking care of you. I'm your godfather.
00:16:40.779 --> 00:16:43.600
Listen to me. Hank, I'm saying why don't you
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:45.620
ask them for free tickets? I get free tickets
00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:49.000
from work. You deserve it. You're the goat. Cool,
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.669
buddy. So are you going to ask them? I'll try.
00:16:53.029 --> 00:16:55.409
All right. I'm just trying to help you, Hank.
00:16:55.909 --> 00:16:58.730
That's all I can do is try. So then you're going
00:16:58.730 --> 00:17:02.029
to go, hey, what's up, buddy? What up, people
00:17:02.029 --> 00:17:05.450
from the breeze? I would love to go to an Ariana
00:17:05.450 --> 00:17:08.769
Grande concert. May I? And ask for tickets. That's
00:17:08.769 --> 00:17:12.390
all you got to do. Are you taking my advice?
00:17:13.589 --> 00:17:16.410
I'll take your advice. All right, perfect. Anything
00:17:16.410 --> 00:17:23.379
else on your mind? That's it. All right. Hank,
00:17:23.379 --> 00:17:28.299
episode 54. We're metal age, dude. Crazy. Can
00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:31.779
you believe it's been 54 episodes? Yes, it has.
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:38.180
And here's another 185 more. That's a lot of
00:17:38.180 --> 00:17:43.539
pressure on me. Sign us off, Hank. Well, that's
00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:47.799
going to do it for the Hammer and Hank show with
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.059
Ryan Hoppy. If you want to get a hold of me,
00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:58.059
Hit me up on my IG at DJ Hammer and Hank. And
00:17:58.059 --> 00:18:00.619
I'll talk to you next week. Peace in your hood.
00:18:00.819 --> 00:18:03.099
Bye, Hank. And coming up next is his interview
00:18:03.099 --> 00:18:06.599
on Evolve the Earth. Goodbye, Hank. Peace in
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:32.750
your hood. Oh, yeah. Welcome to another episode
00:18:32.750 --> 00:18:35.170
of Evolve the Earth Talk Show Podcast, where
00:18:35.170 --> 00:18:37.970
we connect with voices shaping culture, community,
00:18:38.210 --> 00:18:40.829
and change. Today, we're honored to have a true
00:18:40.829 --> 00:18:44.230
legend behind the mic, DJ Hammerin' Hank. How
00:18:44.230 --> 00:18:46.450
are you doing today, sir? I'm truly good, buddy.
00:18:46.670 --> 00:18:50.009
How did you get into radio? Well, my dream actually
00:18:50.009 --> 00:18:52.970
started in the mid -70s, where I tore the antennas
00:18:52.970 --> 00:18:55.789
off the radios that we owned, pertaining with
00:18:55.789 --> 00:18:58.109
microphones, and pertaining to be a radio DJ.
00:18:58.349 --> 00:19:01.640
I started my radio career in 1982. at Chabot
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:04.900
College Radio Station KCRH, which was then branded
00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:07.599
as HitMix 790 under the direction of the late
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.299
Rick Strauss. I was an on -air personality and
00:19:10.299 --> 00:19:12.599
also the station's public service director. That
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.019
is really cool. So how was that experience when
00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:17.519
you started there? It was very good. I got to
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.759
contact non -profit organizations and to gain
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:23.720
PSAs for the radio station. What other stations
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:25.380
have you been part of? Because I know you've
00:19:25.380 --> 00:19:28.180
been part of other stuff as well. I was at 1A
00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:31.210
for 9. I started there. Actually, was Wild Run
00:19:31.210 --> 00:19:35.650
7 with Man Cow back in the early 90s. It was
00:19:35.650 --> 00:19:39.349
1994. I went by the name DJ Special Ed, but I
00:19:39.349 --> 00:19:42.049
didn't like it that much, so I changed my name
00:19:42.049 --> 00:19:45.329
to Hammer and Hank. Tell me about your show at
00:19:45.329 --> 00:19:47.829
KYLD. I had a show called The Lounge Room Hammer
00:19:47.829 --> 00:19:52.029
and Hank Show way back in 1997 to 2001. I was
00:19:52.029 --> 00:19:54.970
told to play whatever was on the playlist. Days?
00:19:55.089 --> 00:19:56.549
Like what days were you on? It was on Sundays
00:19:56.549 --> 00:20:03.269
from 4 to 7 p .m. right before What did you learn
00:20:03.269 --> 00:20:06.029
from doing those, working at those times? Well,
00:20:06.289 --> 00:20:08.769
I got to interact with people. I had someone
00:20:08.769 --> 00:20:13.069
else running my boards. And also, which I learned
00:20:13.069 --> 00:20:16.369
to board myself. What kind of music did you play?
00:20:16.710 --> 00:20:18.849
We didn't make Top 40 Station back then. We didn't
00:20:18.849 --> 00:20:21.130
make Top 40 Station? But now we only play Pop
00:20:21.130 --> 00:20:25.170
Station. How did your time at KYLD end? I was
00:20:25.170 --> 00:20:29.579
let go. In August of 2008, my dad approached
00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:33.279
his director, Mark Apple, who was a brat. He
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.680
wanted to get rid of me, but he said it was,
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.000
for me, it's an important station, like the comedy
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:44.880
jam. I didn't want to work there because I had
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:47.279
a TV show called The Hammer and Hank Music Video
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:50.059
Show, which was on Comcast's cable channel, 27
00:20:50.059 --> 00:20:53.380
Fremont. I turned 29. And during that time, when
00:20:53.380 --> 00:20:56.140
it ended, what were you going through? Were you
00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:57.880
like, oh, I got to figure another thing out?
00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:01.420
Yes, I had to figure another thing out. Did you
00:21:01.420 --> 00:21:03.539
have a plan after that? Yes, to stay in radio.
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:05.599
Okay, and what did you do right after that? I
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:09.920
kept sending radio stations resumes, CDs, MP3s.
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:12.680
But now they're more interested because... Probably
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:14.940
have autism. Who did you get to work with there,
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:16.859
and what did you learn? I was on the doghouse
00:21:16.859 --> 00:21:20.279
for my show. JV, I was Hollywood, Big Joe, Rachel,
00:21:20.539 --> 00:21:23.279
Ruthie, Graham, who currently co -hosts a morning
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:25.740
show, 1A for 9. Did you learn anything from those
00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:29.099
guys? Yes, I learned how to be a better person.
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.039
What challenges have you had to overcome in your
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.759
career? I had to overcome autism way back when.
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:40.630
In the 80s, I was in a group home. for juvenile
00:21:40.630 --> 00:21:43.930
delinquents. I hated it. One of the lowlights
00:21:43.930 --> 00:21:46.950
of my stay in a group home, one of the residents
00:21:46.950 --> 00:21:50.789
beat me up, and another lowlight is somebody...
00:21:51.549 --> 00:21:54.970
I urinated my iced tea. That was on a camping
00:21:54.970 --> 00:21:58.309
trip back in 1984. Oh, man. That's horrible,
00:21:58.529 --> 00:22:02.190
man. So all that stuff, just kind of, those are
00:22:02.190 --> 00:22:04.410
some of the challenges as you were coming up
00:22:04.410 --> 00:22:07.450
and doing your thing. Any other experience, asides
00:22:07.450 --> 00:22:09.670
those ones that you had in the radio? I was a
00:22:09.670 --> 00:22:11.730
part of the Wilding Fine Party Crew Street Promotions
00:22:11.730 --> 00:22:14.410
team. I got to go on the street at Wilding Fine
00:22:14.410 --> 00:22:17.369
Promotions, meet people, and it's always fabulous
00:22:17.369 --> 00:22:20.390
and exciting prices. And I also did some Wilding
00:22:20.390 --> 00:22:22.640
Fine Bomb concerts, which for the most part I
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:24.700
loved very much. Interacting with the listeners,
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.640
dancing in the aisles with lovely ladies, etc.
00:22:28.059 --> 00:22:32.279
Did you meet anybody cool? Angelina, 112, Elijah
00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:36.420
Brown. How has radio changed over the years?
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:38.900
You know, companies that are buying up radio
00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:42.160
stations, technology. You know, my friend Dreamer
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.119
was recently let go from wanting to find after
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.980
several years. Right, right. So as the technology
00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:51.039
changes, is there anything that you utilize now
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:54.500
or that you didn't use before or like is it equipment
00:22:54.500 --> 00:22:57.339
or programs or stuff? I'm learning how to use
00:22:57.339 --> 00:23:00.880
Nextcast which is an automation program at a
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:04.720
station that recently hired me I -977 which is
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:06.680
an internet only radio station from California.
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:09.400
What are your top three highlights in your whole
00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:13.170
radio experience so far? My top three Highlights
00:23:13.170 --> 00:23:16.210
are the Ultimate Survivor game, which was a radio
00:23:16.210 --> 00:23:18.970
contest set by the Drag House. You had to be
00:23:18.970 --> 00:23:22.789
in the studio nonstop until Friday or until you
00:23:22.789 --> 00:23:25.950
get voted out. Oh, wow. But I dropped out because
00:23:25.950 --> 00:23:28.650
I got sick. And that was one. Do you have any
00:23:28.650 --> 00:23:31.549
other, two other ones? My first concert I ever
00:23:31.549 --> 00:23:35.630
attended was Wild World 7, Bomb Doocy. Okay.
00:23:35.710 --> 00:23:39.230
Way back in 1987. Right. I loved it. And the
00:23:39.230 --> 00:23:42.309
third one, I think, gave my own radio show. Wild
00:23:42.309 --> 00:23:45.089
94 .9. Why? I love talking to people, playing
00:23:45.089 --> 00:23:47.630
music, and also going out on the streets. Now
00:23:47.630 --> 00:23:50.150
I want to get into your podcast. What is the
00:23:50.150 --> 00:23:52.470
name of your podcast and what is it about? The
00:23:52.470 --> 00:23:55.450
Hammer and Hank Show. Okay. It's on Spotify.
00:23:55.950 --> 00:23:59.430
My buddy Ryan Hoppe co -hosted with me. We talk
00:23:59.430 --> 00:24:02.309
about a lot of topics. And then I'm a part of
00:24:02.309 --> 00:24:05.210
the nationally syndicated Woody Show with Woody.
00:24:05.289 --> 00:24:08.869
I am on at least once a month doing Woody's Crossfire.
00:24:09.109 --> 00:24:12.589
That is so cool. So back the other podcast, the
00:24:12.589 --> 00:24:15.490
one with Ryan, how did you meet him and how did
00:24:15.490 --> 00:24:17.789
you get connected to do that podcast? Well, I
00:24:17.789 --> 00:24:20.750
was a guest on the Hoppy of Ryan Hoppy a year
00:24:20.750 --> 00:24:24.130
ago. He loved me so much that he decided to launch
00:24:24.130 --> 00:24:26.569
my podcast called The Hammer Hank Show, which
00:24:26.569 --> 00:24:29.009
is available now on Spotify or wherever you get
00:24:29.009 --> 00:24:30.869
your podcasts. Check them out as well. Now you
00:24:30.869 --> 00:24:32.349
said there was another one called The Woody Show
00:24:32.349 --> 00:24:34.349
that you're on once a month. How did you get
00:24:34.349 --> 00:24:36.809
connected doing that? My buddy Minnis, who was
00:24:36.809 --> 00:24:39.609
part of the dog cast way back in the early 2000s,
00:24:39.609 --> 00:24:42.519
invited me on the show to do Crossfire. Okay.
00:24:42.660 --> 00:24:45.259
The Crossfire segment involves all the members
00:24:45.259 --> 00:24:49.940
of the Woody show. Woody, Gregory, Menace, and
00:24:49.940 --> 00:24:53.180
the like. We discuss topics that are in the news
00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:56.039
lately on my dreams like me being a carpenter.
00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:59.579
Who is half -baked? I heard you have beef. I
00:24:59.579 --> 00:25:03.299
have beef. Half -baked, but not anymore. What
00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:05.940
is this about? We started this when I was at
00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:08.019
one, and I put on one when I was at the doghouse.
00:25:08.220 --> 00:25:11.180
Okay. But it was just an act. Can you take me
00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:12.740
into that experience? What was it about? What
00:25:12.740 --> 00:25:15.279
was the act? We had major drama with them in
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.640
the past, but now they need to... Making up.
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:21.500
No more beef. No more beef. What do you cover
00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:24.140
in your podcast? We talk about a lot of different
00:25:24.140 --> 00:25:28.920
topics. Drama. Jokes. News. And also my ambitions
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:31.339
for the future. What ambitions do you have for
00:25:31.339 --> 00:25:34.170
the future? I'm trying to get back into... commercial
00:25:34.170 --> 00:25:37.609
radio, or at least at Hot 97 .7, which is an
00:25:37.609 --> 00:25:39.910
internet -only radio station in Fresno. Recently,
00:25:40.130 --> 00:25:42.970
I attended an event called the Sirius Music Festival,
00:25:43.130 --> 00:25:45.990
which is extremely good. Although I didn't meet
00:25:45.990 --> 00:25:48.049
a lot of the artists, I met a lot of the listeners
00:25:48.049 --> 00:25:51.210
who remember me back in my wild days. Wow, how
00:25:51.210 --> 00:25:53.069
does that feel to like run into all those people
00:25:53.069 --> 00:25:54.930
that knew you from back in the day? Extremely
00:25:54.930 --> 00:25:57.049
good, buddy. Radio or podcast? Because I know
00:25:57.049 --> 00:25:58.930
you were doing, well, you're into radio so much,
00:25:58.970 --> 00:26:01.289
but now you're into podcast. If you had a choice,
00:26:01.410 --> 00:26:03.089
what would you choose, radio or podcast? I would
00:26:03.089 --> 00:26:05.329
choose both because I love radio so much, I love
00:26:05.329 --> 00:26:07.890
podcasting so much. I want to grow my fan base
00:26:07.890 --> 00:26:10.009
a little more and also talk to the listeners
00:26:10.009 --> 00:26:12.269
a little more. The difference between the podcast,
00:26:12.470 --> 00:26:14.589
right, and the radio, what do you see the difference
00:26:14.589 --> 00:26:16.349
within the podcast and the radio? What is the
00:26:16.349 --> 00:26:20.029
difference between? Also, podcasts. Podcasts
00:26:20.029 --> 00:26:23.150
is mainly internet. Radio is terrestrial. And
00:26:23.150 --> 00:26:24.849
production -wise, do you see it the same way
00:26:24.849 --> 00:26:27.930
as producing? Yes. It's the same. It's the same
00:26:27.930 --> 00:26:30.210
method. Okay. What about your work at Chapeau
00:26:30.210 --> 00:26:33.329
College? I currently host a show at KCHA 9 .9
00:26:33.329 --> 00:26:35.289
called The Hammer and Hank Radio Show, which
00:26:35.289 --> 00:26:38.630
is aired every Wednesday from 10 a .m. to noon.
00:26:38.690 --> 00:26:41.069
I get to play whatever I want, which is Sabrina
00:26:41.069 --> 00:26:45.410
Carpenter, LMFAO, Peter Palmieri, and even the
00:26:45.410 --> 00:26:47.980
Sandpipers, Guantanamera. You can listen... to
00:26:47.980 --> 00:26:51.180
my show on 89 .9 FM in Hayward or you can go
00:26:51.180 --> 00:26:54.460
to our website kchradio .com. What would your
00:26:54.460 --> 00:26:57.660
ideal radio show be? My ideal radio show is play
00:26:57.660 --> 00:27:00.519
a lot of music. interacting with listeners, and
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:03.400
also heading out on the streets promoting the
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:06.680
station. What's your living situation now? I
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:09.859
live with my dad and my sister. I do chores.
00:27:10.059 --> 00:27:13.839
I do a lot of monitoring radio stations and also
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:17.359
on the computer a lot. And I also attend CV for
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:20.220
Church and Casting every Sunday. We're currently
00:27:20.220 --> 00:27:23.220
in the book of Hebrews. Okay. I have a lot of
00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:27.079
buddies who attend the church regularly. Nice.
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:31.720
Like Mark Bergen. Pastor John, Ben Atkinson.
00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:35.960
Okay. And also Sondra Blank. Do you want to shout
00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:38.339
anybody else out? I got to give a shout out to
00:27:38.339 --> 00:27:40.380
all the people who I met in my radio career.
00:27:42.460 --> 00:27:47.700
JBLS, Big Joe, Rachel, Selena, Graham, Sondra
00:27:47.700 --> 00:27:51.819
Pena, who started out as an intern at the age
00:27:51.819 --> 00:27:55.779
of 17. Too many to name right now. Too many to
00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:57.700
name, but those ones right there are just as
00:27:57.700 --> 00:28:00.059
important. Yep. Who is your favorite person that
00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:02.799
you have met? Definitely Baby Bash. Baby Bash?
00:28:02.900 --> 00:28:05.079
How was that experience? I did an interview with
00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:09.819
him on the JV show back in 2009. No way! He brought
00:28:09.819 --> 00:28:12.019
me back on the show a few times. How did that
00:28:12.019 --> 00:28:13.960
go? How did that interview go? It was very, very,
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:15.799
very, very, very good. Did you learn anything
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.660
from that interview? Yes. And what did you learn?
00:28:18.779 --> 00:28:20.980
I learned how to appreciate Latin hip -hop music
00:28:20.980 --> 00:28:23.039
more. You have TV experience. Tell me more. Yes.
00:28:23.150 --> 00:28:26.069
I hosted a music video show on Comcast Cable
00:28:26.069 --> 00:28:28.910
Channel 27 in Newark and Channel 29 in Fremont
00:28:28.910 --> 00:28:31.069
called the Hammer and Hank Music Video Show.
00:28:31.269 --> 00:28:34.730
My buddies Black Eagle and Menace hooked me up
00:28:34.730 --> 00:28:37.589
with that. I got to play a lot of music videos
00:28:37.589 --> 00:28:41.109
ranging from hip -hop, pop, even heavy metal.
00:28:41.609 --> 00:28:44.009
Any top memories there when you were doing your
00:28:44.009 --> 00:28:47.190
own show that was really cool? Yes. I got to...
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:52.059
Do TV for the first time. Oh, that was your TV
00:28:52.059 --> 00:28:53.700
for the first time. And how did you like it?
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:56.440
I loved it. I wish I did it, but the show was
00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:59.700
unfortunately canceled back in 2009 because...
00:29:00.779 --> 00:29:03.259
Comcast didn't need to do the local origination
00:29:03.259 --> 00:29:06.500
shows anymore. What is your favorite music video?
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:09.160
I don't watch music videos. You don't watch music
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:12.099
videos? Not in a long time. But if I did, it
00:29:12.099 --> 00:29:16.259
would probably be Sabrina Carpenter's Man Child.
00:29:16.900 --> 00:29:19.000
What about the favorite that you played on your
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:21.380
TV show? Yes, I love that song, Michelle Branch,
00:29:21.460 --> 00:29:23.740
All You Wanted, because it was a big kid record
00:29:23.740 --> 00:29:26.680
back in 2002. I love playing the videos. You
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:28.380
love playing the videos. Would you see yourself
00:29:28.380 --> 00:29:31.589
doing it again? Yes, I would. What have you not
00:29:31.589 --> 00:29:34.990
done yet that you would love to achieve? I'd
00:29:34.990 --> 00:29:37.490
like to become a music director, program director,
00:29:37.789 --> 00:29:41.390
or process director. And major market radio stations
00:29:41.390 --> 00:29:45.150
like 1A49. Okay. I also worked at KOHL. Oh, yeah,
00:29:45.210 --> 00:29:46.970
yeah, yeah. What was that? It was a radio station
00:29:46.970 --> 00:29:49.130
in Fremont. It was okay. And what are you doing
00:29:49.130 --> 00:29:51.349
over there? I did my music. And during my third
00:29:51.349 --> 00:29:53.210
year there, I was the public service director.
00:29:53.390 --> 00:29:56.009
Okay. So I was doing PSAs. I was going on PSA
00:29:56.009 --> 00:29:59.190
websites to gobble some PSAs for on -air use.
00:29:59.309 --> 00:30:02.089
That's really cool. And I also did a briefing
00:30:02.089 --> 00:30:08.019
at Bank Q102. I voiced... and written PSA's for
00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:09.940
all near use. Is that all the other stations
00:30:09.940 --> 00:30:11.859
you worked with or is there any other ones? Like
00:30:11.859 --> 00:30:13.700
I said earlier, I started working at the internet
00:30:13.700 --> 00:30:16.599
radio station Hot 97 .7 in Fresno. But you've
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:18.099
also been doing those baseball games, right?
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:20.119
You're singing the national anthem. I sang the
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:22.079
national anthem at the Minnesota Nets game twice.
00:30:22.180 --> 00:30:24.579
And I loved it. The crowd loved it. And I hope
00:30:24.579 --> 00:30:27.259
to do a Warriors game later this season. A message
00:30:27.259 --> 00:30:29.599
to the world, what would it be? Be nice and kinder
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:32.220
to people. Treat them as individuals and try
00:30:32.220 --> 00:30:34.940
to encourage them to do what they want to do.
00:30:35.059 --> 00:30:37.369
How can people contact you. You can reach out
00:30:37.369 --> 00:30:41.009
to me on my Instagram at DJ Hammer and Hank.
00:30:41.109 --> 00:30:43.890

heck are you doing, buddy? I'm doing pretty heckin'
00:01:05.950 --> 00:01:09.450
good. If I hit the opening intro. Are you ready
00:01:09.450 --> 00:01:13.709
for the show? Yes, I am, buddy. Let's go. You're
00:01:13.709 --> 00:01:16.650
listening to The Hammerin' Hank Show with Henry
00:01:16.650 --> 00:01:30.569
Oaks and Ryan Hoppy. Yeah. Uh. Uh. Yeah. Hammerin'
00:01:30.569 --> 00:01:51.719
Hank. Legend on the air. What up, Hank? How are
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.599
you? How the heck are you doing, buddy? I'm doing
00:01:54.599 --> 00:02:00.180
okay. Why are you doing okay? Because the semester's
00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:03.349
wrapped in Natural College. Wait, let me turn
00:02:03.349 --> 00:02:06.849
off the music. It's what? The semester is about
00:02:06.849 --> 00:02:09.550
to end at Chabot College for the spring. Oh,
00:02:09.610 --> 00:02:15.050
man, it flew by, didn't it, Hanky? Yep. Time
00:02:15.050 --> 00:02:19.270
flies so fast, buddy. It's frightening. I have
00:02:19.270 --> 00:02:22.449
her in Hank, since time is flying. What is your
00:02:22.449 --> 00:02:26.849
radio memory of the week? My radio memory of
00:02:26.849 --> 00:02:32.889
the week is when I first walked into a... K -F
00:02:32.889 --> 00:02:37.009
-I -V -M, that's way back in 1982. What was that
00:02:37.009 --> 00:02:41.330
like? They were in the Giants game, and to talk
00:02:41.330 --> 00:02:44.930
about me in the studio, his name was Bill King.
00:02:45.389 --> 00:02:49.069
Did you have a good time that day? Yes. That's
00:02:49.069 --> 00:02:52.930
good. They were in the Giants game, like I said
00:02:52.930 --> 00:02:56.389
earlier. Are there any other memories in the
00:02:56.389 --> 00:03:00.990
business of radio that you have? Not this week.
00:03:01.449 --> 00:03:04.889
That's okay, buddy. Henry and Hank, what are
00:03:04.889 --> 00:03:10.550
your goals at Hot 97 .7? To make it sound as
00:03:10.550 --> 00:03:15.490
good as it can. And also to play more pop music.
00:03:15.770 --> 00:03:19.270
That's good. Now that the semester is over, you
00:03:19.270 --> 00:03:21.969
can completely focus on learning the equipment.
00:03:22.909 --> 00:03:26.990
Yep. Are you excited about that? I'm very excited.
00:03:27.270 --> 00:03:29.770
You do know, if you ever need any help, I can't
00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:31.330
help out because I'm 2 ,000 miles away, but you
00:03:31.330 --> 00:03:34.909
can reach out to Alex or Gilbert. Thank you,
00:03:34.909 --> 00:03:37.250
buddy. You're quite welcome, Hammer and Hank.
00:03:38.009 --> 00:03:40.069
Cool, buddy. So let me play this music right
00:03:40.069 --> 00:03:44.710
here. Dude, it is the NBA playoffs with the Spurs
00:03:44.710 --> 00:03:48.689
playing the Thunder and the Knicks beating the
00:03:48.689 --> 00:03:51.770
Cavaliers. Hammer and Hank, what is your take?
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.719
My take on the NBA playoffs is it's just okay
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.639
because the Warriors aren't in there. I know.
00:04:01.340 --> 00:04:04.300
They screwed up this year. I know. I missed them.
00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:09.780
They should call the injury hotline. That injury
00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:14.319
hotline is 856 - 49 happy. It's 856. Or you can
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:19.779
reach me on the IG at DJ Hammer and Hank. You
00:04:19.779 --> 00:04:22.920
sound so hip the way you said IG, brah. Yo, yo,
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:28.139
yo, yo, yo. DJ Hammer and Hank. What do you think
00:04:28.139 --> 00:04:33.480
of the Thunder and SGA? I hope the Warriors make
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.959
it to the playoffs this year. I hate the Thunder.
00:04:36.060 --> 00:04:37.920
I hate the Spurs. You mean next year. I hate
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:42.220
the Cavs, but I do like the Knicks. Well, first
00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:44.519
of all, you meant the Warriors next year because
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.040
they can't this year. Yeah. Well, in high school,
00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:50.399
I went to John Hersey High School. And in 2012,
00:04:50.699 --> 00:04:53.720
we played Stevenson, which is a very rich school.
00:04:54.060 --> 00:04:57.079
And there was a freshman in his very first playoff
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.259
game. His name was Jalen Brunson. He was 15 years
00:05:00.259 --> 00:05:04.860
old. Okay. I'm telling you a story. And Jalen
00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:08.100
Brunson obviously is the man in New York City
00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:12.319
on the Knicks, correct? Yep. He scored 30 points
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.800
on my friends and made them cry. There's a crying
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.420
in basketball. Plenty of crying in basketball.
00:05:19.579 --> 00:05:22.620
It was on my friend. It ain't the boy Poe show.
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.720
Isn't that crazy though that I saw him 15 years
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:35.180
ago crush my friends? That's interesting. Do
00:05:35.180 --> 00:05:37.600
you really think it's interesting or not really?
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.379
I'm just kidding. Not really. Because they crush
00:05:42.379 --> 00:05:46.420
your friends. All my friends cried, Hank. It
00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:50.199
was crazy. Like I said, there is no crying in
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.560
basketball. There's no crying in baseball. Hank,
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.620
I'm going to hit the music. Hopefully you approve
00:05:56.620 --> 00:05:58.920
of this content. I'm going to hit the music,
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.519
and we are going to do your jokes, okay? But
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:07.019
let me hit the music. All right. On now. Hank's
00:06:07.019 --> 00:06:09.500
joke hittin', like a thumper from the trunk Punch
00:06:09.500 --> 00:06:12.500
lines crackin' louder than a cat, no punk Rhyme,
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.279
hobby ride, shotgun with oak Droppin' these last
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.439
crew, never goin' broke It's a hammerin' Hank
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.259
show, keepin' it raw Joke sharper than a blade,
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.399
cuttin' through the saw Every segment fire, humor
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.079
like a burn Tune in for the laughs, watch the
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.939
tables turn Hey Hank, what are your jokes for
00:06:28.939 --> 00:06:32.759
the week? Why'd I keep checking the fridge? Why?
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.819
Because apparently... I think pizza renegades
00:06:36.819 --> 00:06:43.360
overnight. Why do I hate mornings? Why? Because
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.360
everybody feels like a surprise attack. I feel
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:52.120
that. Why did I buy coffee today? Why? Because
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:58.300
being awake naturally isn't working out. Why
00:06:58.300 --> 00:07:02.980
do I lose my keys? Why? Because my brain likes
00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:07.779
hiding and seek more than I do. That is a mouthful.
00:07:09.019 --> 00:07:13.060
Why do I love sweatpants so much? Why? Because
00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:18.540
jeans feel like a personal attack. I don't wear
00:07:18.540 --> 00:07:22.339
jeans that much anymore. That is... Why do I
00:07:22.339 --> 00:07:25.550
avoid phone calls? Why? Because if it's important,
00:07:25.790 --> 00:07:31.949
don't text me anyway. Why do I keep saying I'll
00:07:31.949 --> 00:07:36.050
clean tomorrow? Why? Because future me is apparently
00:07:36.050 --> 00:07:42.170
a janitor. Why do I bring my phone into the bathroom?
00:07:42.550 --> 00:07:49.009
Why? Because sounds is terrifying now. Why do
00:07:49.009 --> 00:07:52.490
I love payday? Why? Because for about six minutes.
00:07:52.970 --> 00:07:55.889
I feel financially stable. That is sad to think
00:07:55.889 --> 00:08:00.149
about. And the final joke of this week. Why do
00:08:00.149 --> 00:08:03.970
I always need a nap after eating? Why? Because
00:08:03.970 --> 00:08:07.389
digestion is a full -time job. And that's it
00:08:07.389 --> 00:08:10.629
for the jokes of this week. All right, Henry
00:08:10.629 --> 00:08:12.589
and Hank, you can't hear it. You'll hear it after.
00:08:13.189 --> 00:08:21.350
What type of music do you think I have on? Church
00:08:21.350 --> 00:08:25.970
music. Yes, sir. What's going on in church? We're
00:08:25.970 --> 00:08:29.350
still studying the book of James. First James
00:08:29.350 --> 00:08:34.409
it is. With Pastor John. How's that going? Pretty
00:08:34.409 --> 00:08:38.269
good. Is there any improvements or is it good
00:08:38.269 --> 00:08:41.289
enough? Good enough. What else have you been
00:08:41.289 --> 00:08:53.019
praying to Jesus about? You're a legend, Hank.
00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:57.320
You're a saint. Thank you, buddy. By the way,
00:08:57.340 --> 00:09:01.519
I want to, I'm going to play the clip after I
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.480

00:09:21.350 --> 00:09:23.710

00:09:23.710 --> 00:09:27.789
and Hank Show. Okay. It's on Spotify. My buddy
00:09:27.789 --> 00:09:30.509
Ryan Hoppe co -hosted with me. We talk about
00:09:30.509 --> 00:09:33.629
a lot of topics. So back to the other podcast,
00:09:33.750 --> 00:09:36.690
the one with Ryan, how did you meet him and how
00:09:36.690 --> 00:09:38.730
did you get connected to do that podcast? Well,
00:09:38.850 --> 00:09:42.070
I was a guest on the Hoppe of Ryan Hoppe a year
00:09:42.070 --> 00:09:45.470
ago. He loved me so much that he decided to launch
00:09:45.470 --> 00:09:48.509
my podcast called The Hammer and Hank Show. That's
00:09:48.509 --> 00:09:50.870
awesome, Hank. I appreciate it. Hank, we're going
00:09:50.870 --> 00:09:53.429
to - Thank you. The interview's on my YouTube
00:09:53.429 --> 00:09:57.750
channel at DJ Hammer and Hank. You know what
00:09:57.750 --> 00:10:00.289
else we're going to do, Hank? Yes. Because I
00:10:00.289 --> 00:10:01.889
care about you so much. You're like my brother.
00:10:02.129 --> 00:10:05.070
I'm going to, at the end of the show, I'm going
00:10:05.070 --> 00:10:09.049
to include all 15 minutes of the interview so
00:10:09.049 --> 00:10:12.690
people can listen to it here. Cool, buddy. Hammer
00:10:12.690 --> 00:10:16.659
and Hank, we got a comment here. You are a legend.
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.639
I am so proud of seeing the growth you've had,
00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:24.379
and you did good on Evolve the Earth. Thank you,
00:10:24.379 --> 00:10:27.360
buddy. Another one. Hammer and Hank, I used to
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.440
love driving around San Francisco seeing your
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.500
billboard. Do you remember that billboard? Yes,
00:10:33.500 --> 00:10:38.120
I definitely remember it. What was it like? It
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.120
was for the 2004 presidential election campaign.
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:45.860
How crazy was it seeing your face up there? Extremely
00:10:45.860 --> 00:10:51.259
funny. Hank, if I hit the music, are you ready
00:10:51.259 --> 00:11:15.649
for pop culture trivia? Yes. Gotta keep it real,
00:11:15.730 --> 00:11:18.529
can't let it slide. Answers in my head, can't
00:11:18.529 --> 00:11:21.889
let them hide. Pop Trivia. Yeah, we bringin'
00:11:21.889 --> 00:11:24.029
the heat. Hey, hey. What do you have for Pop
00:11:24.029 --> 00:11:28.570
Trivia? Who has a top ten hit record? The tide
00:11:28.570 --> 00:11:37.309
is high. Way back in 1980. Madonna? No, Blondie.
00:11:37.549 --> 00:11:39.429
I should have known that. I like that song, though.
00:11:39.769 --> 00:11:43.779
A footnote to this. What's up? Local artist Angelina
00:11:43.779 --> 00:11:46.539
did a cover version of this song way back in
00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:50.480
1997. There was another artist. Maybe it was
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.320
her. There was another artist that covered it
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.600
in like the 2000s. Radio Disney used to play
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:59.259
it. But what if I need to play the Angelina version?
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.659
You live your Angelina. It was World War 7 back
00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:05.200
in the day. Hank, we've been recording for 11
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.299
minutes and 11 seconds. Make a wish. My wish
00:12:09.299 --> 00:12:14.500
is to, uh, Improved the podcast. Y 'all do that.
00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:21.740
I appreciate it, buddy. Any other trivia? Who
00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:25.120
has a top ten hit record breakaway way back in
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:31.539
2003? Kelly Clarkson. Correct. Yeah! I got it.
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.559
You have any other ones? Who had a top ten hit
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:41.559
record Guantanamera way back in... 1966. Oh,
00:12:41.580 --> 00:12:45.840
my God. I was negative 27. I see. The Beatles?
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.440
The Sandpipers. Never heard of them. Did you
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:54.820
like them? Yes. I played location on KTH. Nice.
00:12:54.940 --> 00:12:58.399
You played quite the selection, Hank. Thank you.
00:12:58.460 --> 00:13:01.320
That's why we're a variety station. Our logo
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.919
is the East Bay's Best Variety. Anything else,
00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:08.620
Hank? That's it for music trivia for this week.
00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:10.220
I'm going to hit the prick in the news music.
00:13:11.779 --> 00:13:16.679
Let me turn it up in the club. Straight up and
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:19.179
dim lit. Henry on the mic. What's this? Prick
00:13:19.179 --> 00:13:21.700
in the news. Who's thinking they slick? Ryan
00:13:21.700 --> 00:13:24.840
got the scoop crew ready to expose. Shots fired
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.139
dodging pigs in the petty pros. Coppers in the
00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:29.600
back. Hoppy with that verbal machete. Every word
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:31.240
on weapon cameras rolling. Y 'all ain't ready.
00:13:31.659 --> 00:13:35.100
Keyboard warrior. Behind the screen. There's
00:13:35.100 --> 00:13:40.379
the prick in the news. Every panhandler who always
00:13:40.379 --> 00:13:44.659
asks me for 50 cents. What do you say back to
00:13:44.659 --> 00:13:49.159
them? Get a job. Or the only thing I have for
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:54.139
them is a cup of hot piss. You're the best, bro.
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.399
You always say that. Where'd you get that line
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:01.059
from? I made it up myself at the 1A Fine Comedy
00:14:01.059 --> 00:14:05.519
Jam way back in 2002. You're awesome. Did the
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:10.059
crowd laugh? Yes, they did. Did the crowd laugh?
00:14:10.580 --> 00:14:14.700
Yes, they did. Nice. Anybody else in prick in
00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:17.480
the news? That's it for this week. All right.
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:19.440
Let's be a little more positive after calling
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.440
people pricks. I'm going to hit the music. Are
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.360
you ready for buddy of the week? Yes. Let me
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:49.820
hit it. Mm -hmm. I'm over here getting pumped
00:14:49.820 --> 00:14:54.200
up. Hank, you pumped me up, dude. Okay, my buddy
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.159
of the week is everyone at Hot 97 .7 Fresno.
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:02.179
For encouraging me not to give up on my radio
00:15:02.179 --> 00:15:07.240
career. Also, my buddy Tom Lothlian. Alan Sampson,
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.460
which I call Big Al. Yeah. And all my buddies
00:15:11.460 --> 00:15:15.139
at the CV First Church in Castro Valley. Yes,
00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:20.120
sir. Selena from Longing for Mine. Sounder Pena,
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:26.549
who I think I got. A radio gig. Nice! You're
00:15:26.549 --> 00:15:28.889
a good dude. You got me the radio gig at High
00:15:28.889 --> 00:15:32.909
97 .7, bro. Because, uh, Sonda Pinkness started
00:15:32.909 --> 00:15:35.909
as a promotions intern at the age of 17. What
00:15:35.909 --> 00:15:39.230
a legend. You're a legend too, Hanky. Cool, buddy.
00:15:39.549 --> 00:15:42.029
Anybody else? Now she does mid -days at Mega
00:15:42.029 --> 00:15:46.230
96 .3 in LA. Hell yeah. Anybody else with Buddy
00:15:46.230 --> 00:15:50.009
of the Week? That's it. Do you got anything else
00:15:50.009 --> 00:15:54.259
going on in the cranium, the brain of Hank? Getting
00:15:54.259 --> 00:15:57.460
ready for a long, hot summer full of podcasts
00:15:57.460 --> 00:16:01.899
and Hot 97 .7. Yes, I love it. I love it. You
00:16:01.899 --> 00:16:05.879
ready to date some hot -ass Latino women? Yep.
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.240
We're going to make it happen, Captain. Anything
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:12.539
else in your brain? I wish I could see Ariana
00:16:12.539 --> 00:16:15.279
Grande in concert. She's way... When she comes
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.080
to the Bay Area later this year. That is... We're
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.580
going to... Hey. Jay, you got... Well, not Jay
00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:25.220
B. Rest in peace. You got Graham. Selena, Woody,
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:29.399
Menace, the people at the Breeze. Why don't you
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.840
ask them for tickets? Because I'm flat broke.
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:38.100
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hank, listen
00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:40.639
to me. I'm taking care of you. I'm your godfather.
00:16:40.779 --> 00:16:43.600
Listen to me. Hank, I'm saying why don't you
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:45.620
ask them for free tickets? I get free tickets
00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:49.000
from work. You deserve it. You're the goat. Cool,
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.669
buddy. So are you going to ask them? I'll try.
00:16:53.029 --> 00:16:55.409
All right. I'm just trying to help you, Hank.
00:16:55.909 --> 00:16:58.730
That's all I can do is try. So then you're going
00:16:58.730 --> 00:17:02.029
to go, hey, what's up, buddy? What up, people
00:17:02.029 --> 00:17:05.450
from the breeze? I would love to go to an Ariana
00:17:05.450 --> 00:17:08.769
Grande concert. May I? And ask for tickets. That's
00:17:08.769 --> 00:17:12.390
all you got to do. Are you taking my advice?
00:17:13.589 --> 00:17:16.410
I'll take your advice. All right, perfect. Anything
00:17:16.410 --> 00:17:23.379
else on your mind? That's it. All right. Hank,
00:17:23.379 --> 00:17:28.299
episode 54. We're metal age, dude. Crazy. Can
00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:31.779
you believe it's been 54 episodes? Yes, it has.
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:38.180
And here's another 185 more. That's a lot of
00:17:38.180 --> 00:17:43.539
pressure on me. Sign us off, Hank. Well, that's
00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:47.799
going to do it for the Hammer and Hank show with
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.059
Ryan Hoppy. If you want to get a hold of me,
00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:58.059
Hit me up on my IG at DJ Hammer and Hank. And
00:17:58.059 --> 00:18:00.619
I'll talk to you next week. Peace in your hood.
00:18:00.819 --> 00:18:03.099
Bye, Hank. And coming up next is his interview
00:18:03.099 --> 00:18:06.599
on Evolve the Earth. Goodbye, Hank. Peace in
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:32.750
your hood. Oh, yeah. Welcome to another episode
00:18:32.750 --> 00:18:35.170
of Evolve the Earth Talk Show Podcast, where
00:18:35.170 --> 00:18:37.970
we connect with voices shaping culture, community,
00:18:38.210 --> 00:18:40.829
and change. Today, we're honored to have a true
00:18:40.829 --> 00:18:44.230
legend behind the mic, DJ Hammerin' Hank. How
00:18:44.230 --> 00:18:46.450
are you doing today, sir? I'm truly good, buddy.
00:18:46.670 --> 00:18:50.009
How did you get into radio? Well, my dream actually
00:18:50.009 --> 00:18:52.970
started in the mid -70s, where I tore the antennas
00:18:52.970 --> 00:18:55.789
off the radios that we owned, pertaining with
00:18:55.789 --> 00:18:58.109
microphones, and pertaining to be a radio DJ.
00:18:58.349 --> 00:19:01.640
I started my radio career in 1982. at Chabot
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:04.900
College Radio Station KCRH, which was then branded
00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:07.599
as HitMix 790 under the direction of the late
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.299
Rick Strauss. I was an on -air personality and
00:19:10.299 --> 00:19:12.599
also the station's public service director. That
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.019
is really cool. So how was that experience when
00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:17.519
you started there? It was very good. I got to
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.759
contact non -profit organizations and to gain
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:23.720
PSAs for the radio station. What other stations
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:25.380
have you been part of? Because I know you've
00:19:25.380 --> 00:19:28.180
been part of other stuff as well. I was at 1A
00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:31.210
for 9. I started there. Actually, was Wild Run
00:19:31.210 --> 00:19:35.650
7 with Man Cow back in the early 90s. It was
00:19:35.650 --> 00:19:39.349
1994. I went by the name DJ Special Ed, but I
00:19:39.349 --> 00:19:42.049
didn't like it that much, so I changed my name
00:19:42.049 --> 00:19:45.329
to Hammer and Hank. Tell me about your show at
00:19:45.329 --> 00:19:47.829
KYLD. I had a show called The Lounge Room Hammer
00:19:47.829 --> 00:19:52.029
and Hank Show way back in 1997 to 2001. I was
00:19:52.029 --> 00:19:54.970
told to play whatever was on the playlist. Days?
00:19:55.089 --> 00:19:56.549
Like what days were you on? It was on Sundays
00:19:56.549 --> 00:20:03.269
from 4 to 7 p .m. right before What did you learn
00:20:03.269 --> 00:20:06.029
from doing those, working at those times? Well,
00:20:06.289 --> 00:20:08.769
I got to interact with people. I had someone
00:20:08.769 --> 00:20:13.069
else running my boards. And also, which I learned
00:20:13.069 --> 00:20:16.369
to board myself. What kind of music did you play?
00:20:16.710 --> 00:20:18.849
We didn't make Top 40 Station back then. We didn't
00:20:18.849 --> 00:20:21.130
make Top 40 Station? But now we only play Pop
00:20:21.130 --> 00:20:25.170
Station. How did your time at KYLD end? I was
00:20:25.170 --> 00:20:29.579
let go. In August of 2008, my dad approached
00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:33.279
his director, Mark Apple, who was a brat. He
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.680
wanted to get rid of me, but he said it was,
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.000
for me, it's an important station, like the comedy
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:44.880
jam. I didn't want to work there because I had
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:47.279
a TV show called The Hammer and Hank Music Video
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:50.059
Show, which was on Comcast's cable channel, 27
00:20:50.059 --> 00:20:53.380
Fremont. I turned 29. And during that time, when
00:20:53.380 --> 00:20:56.140
it ended, what were you going through? Were you
00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:57.880
like, oh, I got to figure another thing out?
00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:01.420
Yes, I had to figure another thing out. Did you
00:21:01.420 --> 00:21:03.539
have a plan after that? Yes, to stay in radio.
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:05.599
Okay, and what did you do right after that? I
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:09.920
kept sending radio stations resumes, CDs, MP3s.
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:12.680
But now they're more interested because... Probably
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:14.940
have autism. Who did you get to work with there,
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:16.859
and what did you learn? I was on the doghouse
00:21:16.859 --> 00:21:20.279
for my show. JV, I was Hollywood, Big Joe, Rachel,
00:21:20.539 --> 00:21:23.279
Ruthie, Graham, who currently co -hosts a morning
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:25.740
show, 1A for 9. Did you learn anything from those
00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:29.099
guys? Yes, I learned how to be a better person.
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.039
What challenges have you had to overcome in your
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.759
career? I had to overcome autism way back when.
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:40.630
In the 80s, I was in a group home. for juvenile
00:21:40.630 --> 00:21:43.930
delinquents. I hated it. One of the lowlights
00:21:43.930 --> 00:21:46.950
of my stay in a group home, one of the residents
00:21:46.950 --> 00:21:50.789
beat me up, and another lowlight is somebody...
00:21:51.549 --> 00:21:54.970
I urinated my iced tea. That was on a camping
00:21:54.970 --> 00:21:58.309
trip back in 1984. Oh, man. That's horrible,
00:21:58.529 --> 00:22:02.190
man. So all that stuff, just kind of, those are
00:22:02.190 --> 00:22:04.410
some of the challenges as you were coming up
00:22:04.410 --> 00:22:07.450
and doing your thing. Any other experience, asides
00:22:07.450 --> 00:22:09.670
those ones that you had in the radio? I was a
00:22:09.670 --> 00:22:11.730
part of the Wilding Fine Party Crew Street Promotions
00:22:11.730 --> 00:22:14.410
team. I got to go on the street at Wilding Fine
00:22:14.410 --> 00:22:17.369
Promotions, meet people, and it's always fabulous
00:22:17.369 --> 00:22:20.390
and exciting prices. And I also did some Wilding
00:22:20.390 --> 00:22:22.640
Fine Bomb concerts, which for the most part I
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:24.700
loved very much. Interacting with the listeners,
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.640
dancing in the aisles with lovely ladies, etc.
00:22:28.059 --> 00:22:32.279
Did you meet anybody cool? Angelina, 112, Elijah
00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:36.420
Brown. How has radio changed over the years?
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:38.900
You know, companies that are buying up radio
00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:42.160
stations, technology. You know, my friend Dreamer
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.119
was recently let go from wanting to find after
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.980
several years. Right, right. So as the technology
00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:51.039
changes, is there anything that you utilize now
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:54.500
or that you didn't use before or like is it equipment
00:22:54.500 --> 00:22:57.339
or programs or stuff? I'm learning how to use
00:22:57.339 --> 00:23:00.880
Nextcast which is an automation program at a
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:04.720
station that recently hired me I -977 which is
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:06.680
an internet only radio station from California.
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:09.400
What are your top three highlights in your whole
00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:13.170
radio experience so far? My top three Highlights
00:23:13.170 --> 00:23:16.210
are the Ultimate Survivor game, which was a radio
00:23:16.210 --> 00:23:18.970
contest set by the Drag House. You had to be
00:23:18.970 --> 00:23:22.789
in the studio nonstop until Friday or until you
00:23:22.789 --> 00:23:25.950
get voted out. Oh, wow. But I dropped out because
00:23:25.950 --> 00:23:28.650
I got sick. And that was one. Do you have any
00:23:28.650 --> 00:23:31.549
other, two other ones? My first concert I ever
00:23:31.549 --> 00:23:35.630
attended was Wild World 7, Bomb Doocy. Okay.
00:23:35.710 --> 00:23:39.230
Way back in 1987. Right. I loved it. And the
00:23:39.230 --> 00:23:42.309
third one, I think, gave my own radio show. Wild
00:23:42.309 --> 00:23:45.089
94 .9. Why? I love talking to people, playing
00:23:45.089 --> 00:23:47.630
music, and also going out on the streets. Now
00:23:47.630 --> 00:23:50.150
I want to get into your podcast. What is the
00:23:50.150 --> 00:23:52.470
name of your podcast and what is it about? The
00:23:52.470 --> 00:23:55.450
Hammer and Hank Show. Okay. It's on Spotify.
00:23:55.950 --> 00:23:59.430
My buddy Ryan Hoppe co -hosted with me. We talk
00:23:59.430 --> 00:24:02.309
about a lot of topics. And then I'm a part of
00:24:02.309 --> 00:24:05.210
the nationally syndicated Woody Show with Woody.
00:24:05.289 --> 00:24:08.869
I am on at least once a month doing Woody's Crossfire.
00:24:09.109 --> 00:24:12.589
That is so cool. So back the other podcast, the
00:24:12.589 --> 00:24:15.490
one with Ryan, how did you meet him and how did
00:24:15.490 --> 00:24:17.789
you get connected to do that podcast? Well, I
00:24:17.789 --> 00:24:20.750
was a guest on the Hoppy of Ryan Hoppy a year
00:24:20.750 --> 00:24:24.130
ago. He loved me so much that he decided to launch
00:24:24.130 --> 00:24:26.569
my podcast called The Hammer Hank Show, which
00:24:26.569 --> 00:24:29.009
is available now on Spotify or wherever you get
00:24:29.009 --> 00:24:30.869
your podcasts. Check them out as well. Now you
00:24:30.869 --> 00:24:32.349
said there was another one called The Woody Show
00:24:32.349 --> 00:24:34.349
that you're on once a month. How did you get
00:24:34.349 --> 00:24:36.809
connected doing that? My buddy Minnis, who was
00:24:36.809 --> 00:24:39.609
part of the dog cast way back in the early 2000s,
00:24:39.609 --> 00:24:42.519
invited me on the show to do Crossfire. Okay.
00:24:42.660 --> 00:24:45.259
The Crossfire segment involves all the members
00:24:45.259 --> 00:24:49.940
of the Woody show. Woody, Gregory, Menace, and
00:24:49.940 --> 00:24:53.180
the like. We discuss topics that are in the news
00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:56.039
lately on my dreams like me being a carpenter.
00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:59.579
Who is half -baked? I heard you have beef. I
00:24:59.579 --> 00:25:03.299
have beef. Half -baked, but not anymore. What
00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:05.940
is this about? We started this when I was at
00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:08.019
one, and I put on one when I was at the doghouse.
00:25:08.220 --> 00:25:11.180
Okay. But it was just an act. Can you take me
00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:12.740
into that experience? What was it about? What
00:25:12.740 --> 00:25:15.279
was the act? We had major drama with them in
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.640
the past, but now they need to... Making up.
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:21.500
No more beef. No more beef. What do you cover
00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:24.140
in your podcast? We talk about a lot of different
00:25:24.140 --> 00:25:28.920
topics. Drama. Jokes. News. And also my ambitions
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:31.339
for the future. What ambitions do you have for
00:25:31.339 --> 00:25:34.170
the future? I'm trying to get back into... commercial
00:25:34.170 --> 00:25:37.609
radio, or at least at Hot 97 .7, which is an
00:25:37.609 --> 00:25:39.910
internet -only radio station in Fresno. Recently,
00:25:40.130 --> 00:25:42.970
I attended an event called the Sirius Music Festival,
00:25:43.130 --> 00:25:45.990
which is extremely good. Although I didn't meet
00:25:45.990 --> 00:25:48.049
a lot of the artists, I met a lot of the listeners
00:25:48.049 --> 00:25:51.210
who remember me back in my wild days. Wow, how
00:25:51.210 --> 00:25:53.069
does that feel to like run into all those people
00:25:53.069 --> 00:25:54.930
that knew you from back in the day? Extremely
00:25:54.930 --> 00:25:57.049
good, buddy. Radio or podcast? Because I know
00:25:57.049 --> 00:25:58.930
you were doing, well, you're into radio so much,
00:25:58.970 --> 00:26:01.289
but now you're into podcast. If you had a choice,
00:26:01.410 --> 00:26:03.089
what would you choose, radio or podcast? I would
00:26:03.089 --> 00:26:05.329
choose both because I love radio so much, I love
00:26:05.329 --> 00:26:07.890
podcasting so much. I want to grow my fan base
00:26:07.890 --> 00:26:10.009
a little more and also talk to the listeners
00:26:10.009 --> 00:26:12.269
a little more. The difference between the podcast,
00:26:12.470 --> 00:26:14.589
right, and the radio, what do you see the difference
00:26:14.589 --> 00:26:16.349
within the podcast and the radio? What is the
00:26:16.349 --> 00:26:20.029
difference between? Also, podcasts. Podcasts
00:26:20.029 --> 00:26:23.150
is mainly internet. Radio is terrestrial. And
00:26:23.150 --> 00:26:24.849
production -wise, do you see it the same way
00:26:24.849 --> 00:26:27.930
as producing? Yes. It's the same. It's the same
00:26:27.930 --> 00:26:30.210
method. Okay. What about your work at Chapeau
00:26:30.210 --> 00:26:33.329
College? I currently host a show at KCHA 9 .9
00:26:33.329 --> 00:26:35.289
called The Hammer and Hank Radio Show, which
00:26:35.289 --> 00:26:38.630
is aired every Wednesday from 10 a .m. to noon.
00:26:38.690 --> 00:26:41.069
I get to play whatever I want, which is Sabrina
00:26:41.069 --> 00:26:45.410
Carpenter, LMFAO, Peter Palmieri, and even the
00:26:45.410 --> 00:26:47.980
Sandpipers, Guantanamera. You can listen... to
00:26:47.980 --> 00:26:51.180
my show on 89 .9 FM in Hayward or you can go
00:26:51.180 --> 00:26:54.460
to our website kchradio .com. What would your
00:26:54.460 --> 00:26:57.660
ideal radio show be? My ideal radio show is play
00:26:57.660 --> 00:27:00.519
a lot of music. interacting with listeners, and
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:03.400
also heading out on the streets promoting the
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:06.680
station. What's your living situation now? I
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:09.859
live with my dad and my sister. I do chores.
00:27:10.059 --> 00:27:13.839
I do a lot of monitoring radio stations and also
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:17.359
on the computer a lot. And I also attend CV for
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:20.220
Church and Casting every Sunday. We're currently
00:27:20.220 --> 00:27:23.220
in the book of Hebrews. Okay. I have a lot of
00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:27.079
buddies who attend the church regularly. Nice.
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:31.720
Like Mark Bergen. Pastor John, Ben Atkinson.
00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:35.960
Okay. And also Sondra Blank. Do you want to shout
00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:38.339
anybody else out? I got to give a shout out to
00:27:38.339 --> 00:27:40.380
all the people who I met in my radio career.
00:27:42.460 --> 00:27:47.700
JBLS, Big Joe, Rachel, Selena, Graham, Sondra
00:27:47.700 --> 00:27:51.819
Pena, who started out as an intern at the age
00:27:51.819 --> 00:27:55.779
of 17. Too many to name right now. Too many to
00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:57.700
name, but those ones right there are just as
00:27:57.700 --> 00:28:00.059
important. Yep. Who is your favorite person that
00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:02.799
you have met? Definitely Baby Bash. Baby Bash?
00:28:02.900 --> 00:28:05.079
How was that experience? I did an interview with
00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:09.819
him on the JV show back in 2009. No way! He brought
00:28:09.819 --> 00:28:12.019
me back on the show a few times. How did that
00:28:12.019 --> 00:28:13.960
go? How did that interview go? It was very, very,
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:15.799
very, very, very good. Did you learn anything
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.660
from that interview? Yes. And what did you learn?
00:28:18.779 --> 00:28:20.980
I learned how to appreciate Latin hip -hop music
00:28:20.980 --> 00:28:23.039
more. You have TV experience. Tell me more. Yes.
00:28:23.150 --> 00:28:26.069
I hosted a music video show on Comcast Cable
00:28:26.069 --> 00:28:28.910
Channel 27 in Newark and Channel 29 in Fremont
00:28:28.910 --> 00:28:31.069
called the Hammer and Hank Music Video Show.
00:28:31.269 --> 00:28:34.730
My buddies Black Eagle and Menace hooked me up
00:28:34.730 --> 00:28:37.589
with that. I got to play a lot of music videos
00:28:37.589 --> 00:28:41.109
ranging from hip -hop, pop, even heavy metal.
00:28:41.609 --> 00:28:44.009
Any top memories there when you were doing your
00:28:44.009 --> 00:28:47.190
own show that was really cool? Yes. I got to...
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:52.059
Do TV for the first time. Oh, that was your TV
00:28:52.059 --> 00:28:53.700
for the first time. And how did you like it?
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:56.440
I loved it. I wish I did it, but the show was
00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:59.700
unfortunately canceled back in 2009 because...
00:29:00.779 --> 00:29:03.259
Comcast didn't need to do the local origination
00:29:03.259 --> 00:29:06.500
shows anymore. What is your favorite music video?
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:09.160
I don't watch music videos. You don't watch music
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:12.099
videos? Not in a long time. But if I did, it
00:29:12.099 --> 00:29:16.259
would probably be Sabrina Carpenter's Man Child.
00:29:16.900 --> 00:29:19.000
What about the favorite that you played on your
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:21.380
TV show? Yes, I love that song, Michelle Branch,
00:29:21.460 --> 00:29:23.740
All You Wanted, because it was a big kid record
00:29:23.740 --> 00:29:26.680
back in 2002. I love playing the videos. You
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:28.380
love playing the videos. Would you see yourself
00:29:28.380 --> 00:29:31.589
doing it again? Yes, I would. What have you not
00:29:31.589 --> 00:29:34.990
done yet that you would love to achieve? I'd
00:29:34.990 --> 00:29:37.490
like to become a music director, program director,
00:29:37.789 --> 00:29:41.390
or process director. And major market radio stations
00:29:41.390 --> 00:29:45.150
like 1A49. Okay. I also worked at KOHL. Oh, yeah,
00:29:45.210 --> 00:29:46.970
yeah, yeah. What was that? It was a radio station
00:29:46.970 --> 00:29:49.130
in Fremont. It was okay. And what are you doing
00:29:49.130 --> 00:29:51.349
over there? I did my music. And during my third
00:29:51.349 --> 00:29:53.210
year there, I was the public service director.
00:29:53.390 --> 00:29:56.009
Okay. So I was doing PSAs. I was going on PSA
00:29:56.009 --> 00:29:59.190
websites to gobble some PSAs for on -air use.
00:29:59.309 --> 00:30:02.089
That's really cool. And I also did a briefing
00:30:02.089 --> 00:30:08.019
at Bank Q102. I voiced... and written PSA's for
00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:09.940
all near use. Is that all the other stations
00:30:09.940 --> 00:30:11.859
you worked with or is there any other ones? Like
00:30:11.859 --> 00:30:13.700
I said earlier, I started working at the internet
00:30:13.700 --> 00:30:16.599
radio station Hot 97 .7 in Fresno. But you've
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:18.099
also been doing those baseball games, right?
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:20.119
You're singing the national anthem. I sang the
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:22.079
national anthem at the Minnesota Nets game twice.
00:30:22.180 --> 00:30:24.579
And I loved it. The crowd loved it. And I hope
00:30:24.579 --> 00:30:27.259
to do a Warriors game later this season. A message
00:30:27.259 --> 00:30:29.599
to the world, what would it be? Be nice and kinder
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:32.220
to people. Treat them as individuals and try
00:30:32.220 --> 00:30:34.940
to encourage them to do what they want to do.
00:30:35.059 --> 00:30:37.369
How can people contact you. You can reach out
00:30:37.369 --> 00:30:41.009
to me on my Instagram at DJ Hammer and Hank.
00:30:41.109 --> 00:30:43.890
I'll hook you up with the friendship. You are
