iHeart Radio Layoffs: Why Radio Lost Its Soul

WEBVTT

00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:02.850
Hammer and Hank, if I hit the button right here,

00:00:02.930 --> 00:00:06.169
would you be ready to begin episode 58 or 59?

00:00:06.849 --> 00:00:09.490
Whichever one. Yes, buddy. Let me hit the button.

00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:13.410
You're listening to The Hammer and Hank Show

00:00:13.410 --> 00:00:24.949
with Henry Oaks and Ryan Hoppy. Yeah. Uh. Uh.

00:00:26.390 --> 00:00:29.910
Yeah. Hammer and Hank. Legend on the airwaves.

00:00:49.960 --> 00:01:00.479
How are you? You're good? Yeah! How you been?

00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.259
What you been up to? What's been going on in

00:01:03.259 --> 00:01:08.000
the world of Hammer and Hank? A lot of my regular

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.680
radio buddies just got laid off. Yeah, let's

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:16.439
start with the elephant in the room. Hammer and

00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:20.340
Hank, you've been in radio about 40 years. You've

00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:24.719
been around the block. What is your take on what

00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:30.719
iHeart did by laying people off? Really, really,

00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:36.200
really suck. What sucks about it, Sarge? My buddy

00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.159
Sam Diggity and Showbiz, they just got laid off

00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:44.200
from K -D -O -N Salinas. Ah, was that the morning

00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:48.090
madhouse? Yes. Oh, my God. I mean, they could

00:01:48.090 --> 00:01:49.569
have had a better name because Mancow had a first

00:01:49.569 --> 00:01:52.090
name. They were doing the morning mass for over

00:01:52.090 --> 00:01:55.909
20 years. Yeah, and I heard it's always wondering

00:01:55.909 --> 00:02:00.230
why they are just so irrelevant. And then they

00:02:00.230 --> 00:02:02.450
lay people off. Oh, and I'm sure they're going

00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:05.890
to put the breakfast club in the morning. Woo!

00:02:07.250 --> 00:02:13.969
Jesus Christ, Hank. I never... Are any of the

00:02:13.969 --> 00:02:16.569
shows live and local on that market anymore?

00:02:17.550 --> 00:02:21.330
Nope. Ah, goody, goody gumdrops. Hey, but at

00:02:21.330 --> 00:02:25.250
least Bobby Mint gets his money. Douche. Ah,

00:02:25.310 --> 00:02:27.770
Hammer and Hank, I never want to hear anybody

00:02:27.770 --> 00:02:31.729
ever go, oh, he created MTV. It wasn't just him.

00:02:32.490 --> 00:02:35.270
It was other people. But they always go, oh,

00:02:35.289 --> 00:02:39.009
he created MTV. And look what MTV is now. It

00:02:39.009 --> 00:02:44.810
sucks. This is fucking garbage. Hammer and Hank.

00:02:45.930 --> 00:02:49.349
I used to be a defender of radio. I still work

00:02:49.349 --> 00:02:52.370
in radio. You work in radio. We love radio. We

00:02:52.370 --> 00:02:55.389
grew up as radio nerds. But I'm starting to,

00:02:55.490 --> 00:02:58.629
it's like I'm in a business relationship with

00:02:58.629 --> 00:03:02.469
radio. Beforehand, I loved it. It was like having

00:03:02.469 --> 00:03:04.629
that hot ass girlfriend. But now I'm like, you

00:03:04.629 --> 00:03:07.370
know what? It's all good. It's not really all

00:03:07.370 --> 00:03:10.360
good. Hammer and Hank, they let go of Kid Chris,

00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.159
who is a shock jock out of Cincinnati on WEBN,

00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.719
one of my friends. And that broke my heart. It

00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:24.979
did too. I mean, you look at... Yeah, thank God.

00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.419
Grams implied. I know, but the thing is, people

00:03:29.419 --> 00:03:31.560
wonder, why don't people listen to radio? Because

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:33.939
you get a... The term is parasocial. You get

00:03:33.939 --> 00:03:36.099
a parasocial relationship with the radio host.

00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.979
You think they're your friend. And all of a sudden,

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.520
you let go of them without any goodbye shows.

00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:44.840
They got rid of Flying Brian over in Four Myers.

00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:48.719
He's been there since 01. And then iHeart's like,

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.469
dude, you know what's the funniest thing they're

00:03:50.469 --> 00:03:53.370
doing hank they're they're having executives

00:03:53.370 --> 00:03:57.250
like some of the like head of social media do

00:03:57.250 --> 00:04:01.030
on air breaks so in tampa on the throwback hip

00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:04.030
-hop station which is like the same four songs

00:04:04.030 --> 00:04:08.289
it's always on time by ja rule uh it's uh lose

00:04:08.289 --> 00:04:10.590
yourself by eminem it's very predictable what's

00:04:10.590 --> 00:04:12.849
your fantasy by ludicrous is the same four throwbacks

00:04:13.580 --> 00:04:15.680
But Hank, beforehand, you would have a DJ be

00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.500
like, yo, what's up? This is DJ Twisted or whatever.

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.139
And check out the iHeartRadio app. It's really

00:04:21.139 --> 00:04:23.439
cool, blah, blah, blah. Because every talk break

00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.939
is about the iHeart app. And now you have these

00:04:25.939 --> 00:04:29.100
corporate nerds going, well, if you check out

00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:37.379
the iHeartRadio app, there. It sucks. My iHeartRadio

00:04:37.379 --> 00:04:40.899
app. Because I listen to my Hanky's favorite

00:04:40.899 --> 00:04:46.129
songs on there. What is your music on iHeart?

00:04:49.370 --> 00:04:52.709
What is the music with iHeart? What do you listen

00:04:52.709 --> 00:05:04.730
to on there? Do you like Covino and Rich? Those

00:05:04.730 --> 00:05:08.490
are my homies. They're funny, dude. They're good

00:05:08.490 --> 00:05:12.720
guys. Hammer and Hank. Let's talk. positively

00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:19.480
about radio. Do me a favor. What is your radio

00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.360
memory of the week? My radio memory of the week?

00:05:26.579 --> 00:05:29.399
When the first time I walked into the sound factory

00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:34.399
on my birthday back in 1996. Was that when you

00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.500
got a blood job? Nope. Was that the second time

00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:41.529
you came home? Yeah. Hammer and Hank, what was

00:05:41.529 --> 00:05:43.790
it like on your birthday at the Sound Factory?

00:05:44.509 --> 00:05:48.449
It was very, very, very good. And I predicted

00:05:48.449 --> 00:05:53.910
that 1997 would be a good year. As it turned

00:05:53.910 --> 00:05:56.870
out, 1997 was a great year. What was so good

00:05:56.870 --> 00:06:01.209
about it? I was in preschool. I met my buddies

00:06:01.209 --> 00:06:06.610
Veronica and Julie. Jose from Oakland. Monica

00:06:06.610 --> 00:06:11.740
from Union City. That's good. Those are good

00:06:11.740 --> 00:06:15.019
memories that you will cherish forever. Good

00:06:15.019 --> 00:06:19.439
for you, Hank. Breaking news. What's breaking

00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.899
news? LeBron James could be head to the Warriors.

00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.160
Wait, wait, wait. Is this like breaking news

00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:31.079
like right now? Or is this speculation? We need

00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.160
speculation. You got me nervous. I don't want

00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.759
him to do it. I don't want him on the Warriors.

00:06:37.420 --> 00:06:43.180
I watched the Warriors for... And also, he's

00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:48.399
a douchebag! And he's a crybaby. I like my team

00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:52.620
with Kerry Bono. I don't need him there. No,

00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:56.199
I does. But of course, he's a bandwagon jumper

00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.019
like a woman. And all he does is he goes from

00:06:59.019 --> 00:07:04.889
team to team. He's a douche. Ron James is a crybaby.

00:07:05.269 --> 00:07:07.990
You know what was genius that he did? Was he

00:07:07.990 --> 00:07:11.009
waited until his son got a guaranteed contract

00:07:11.009 --> 00:07:14.209
and then left the Lakers. So he stuck them with

00:07:14.209 --> 00:07:17.290
that nipple baby douche. That was very smart.

00:07:17.610 --> 00:07:24.910
He made sure his son got paid. Oh, yeah. Hammer

00:07:24.910 --> 00:07:32.250
and egg. Yes. Any other radio memories? Yes.

00:07:32.449 --> 00:07:37.970
What? Doghouse, what? First time I walked into

00:07:37.970 --> 00:07:41.829
old school 1079 when my dad and my sisters were

00:07:41.829 --> 00:07:47.990
fat. We did an autism PSA. Yeah. How did that

00:07:47.990 --> 00:07:51.470
go? We loved it. It was nominated for best PSA

00:07:51.470 --> 00:07:55.149
by the Kansas Association of Broadcasters. Hammer

00:07:55.149 --> 00:07:58.379
it, Hank. didn't win, but I'm so happy with the

00:07:58.379 --> 00:08:01.560
nomination. You're a bridesmaid, which are usually

00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.699
hotter than the life. Hammer and Hank, I'm going

00:08:03.699 --> 00:08:06.060
to play your PSA. Is it the one from 2016 or

00:08:06.060 --> 00:08:10.879
2019? It's the one from 2019. I'll play it right

00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.930
now. Hello again. It's your favorite San Francisco

00:08:14.930 --> 00:08:18.689
DJ, Hammerin' Hank. I may look normal, but the

00:08:18.689 --> 00:08:20.790
truth is, I have a condition known as autism.

00:08:21.389 --> 00:08:23.990
That's right. It's a condition, not a disease.

00:08:24.250 --> 00:08:27.610
The fact is, autism can strike anyone, regardless

00:08:27.610 --> 00:08:30.129
of who they are. People with autism normally

00:08:30.129 --> 00:08:32.649
have difficulties in verbal and nonverbal communication

00:08:32.649 --> 00:08:36.009
skills, social interactions, and leisure activities.

00:08:36.490 --> 00:08:39.309
In a recent study, people with autism are less

00:08:39.309 --> 00:08:41.970
likely to have a job and more likely to become

00:08:41.970 --> 00:08:45.289
homeless. I beat the odds by having loving friends

00:08:45.289 --> 00:08:48.570
and family, having a college education. I have

00:08:48.570 --> 00:08:51.070
even worked in the San Francisco Bay Area as

00:08:51.070 --> 00:08:53.389
an honorary personality for many years. Always

00:08:53.389 --> 00:08:55.370
remember that people with autism want the same

00:08:55.370 --> 00:08:58.230
things as you, to be happy and successful. To

00:08:58.230 --> 00:09:01.129
find out more about autism, please contact your

00:09:01.129 --> 00:09:04.309
local mental health center or visit autismspeech

00:09:04.309 --> 00:09:06.929
.org. This is Cameron Hink and I appreciate you

00:09:06.929 --> 00:09:15.690
coming. Back to the show. We're all hanging out.

00:09:15.990 --> 00:09:20.970
How are you? Pretty good. You make very good

00:09:20.970 --> 00:09:25.929
PSAs, by the way. How was your recent visit to

00:09:25.929 --> 00:09:30.350
the San Francisco Giants game? Pretty good. What'd

00:09:30.350 --> 00:09:36.250
you do? I saw a baseball game. I know that. Interactive

00:09:36.250 --> 00:09:39.169
some people. Did you hear it? The Giants lost

00:09:39.169 --> 00:09:42.620
to the Columbus A's 9 -6. I love when you say

00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:46.419
homelessness. Hammer and Hank, did you get recognized?

00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:51.000
Not really. Oh, man. You got to go out there

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.120
wearing a shirt that says, like, Hammer and Hank's

00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.600
the man. Suck my neck, you know. That would definitely

00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.299
help your cause. Who did you go to the game with?

00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:04.299
Myself. By yourself? Yes. Wow, that's awesome.

00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.039
See, you are an example of someone with autism

00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.320
who is still able to go out and about. You took

00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.379
the bus, right? Yes, I take Bart and the Muni.

00:10:13.460 --> 00:10:16.559
I love taking the Bart, especially when it goes

00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.399
by the, what is it, Ghirardelli chocolate owner.

00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:25.460
I love that place. Anywho, Hammer and Egg. Yes.

00:10:25.820 --> 00:10:28.840
Who are some old school artists you'd love to

00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:33.220
meet? I got knocked off. No, you're here. I can

00:10:33.220 --> 00:10:37.539
hear you. Can you hear me? You can hear you.

00:10:37.700 --> 00:10:40.399
You can hear me? Yes. You didn't get knocked

00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:42.799
off. You're just tripping balls on weed or whatever.

00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:44.759
I'm just kidding. Hammer and Hank, let's keep

00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:47.379
moving on and do this. What are some old school

00:10:47.379 --> 00:10:54.519
artists you'd love to meet? Nick Tomlin, Elton

00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:00.539
John, also Madonna. That's awesome. We got some

00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:02.840
comments here. Hammer and Hank. I have been a

00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:06.519
fan of you since when you sang the national anthem

00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.580
last year. I had not heard of you prior, but

00:11:09.580 --> 00:11:13.820
now I love the show. Keep up the good work. So

00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:15.700
we got to listen to her messages there. Hammer

00:11:15.700 --> 00:11:19.179
and Hank, if I hit the music, because I need

00:11:19.179 --> 00:11:21.980
to laugh right now, laugh and romance and do

00:11:21.980 --> 00:11:24.240
whatever. If I hit the music right now, would

00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.379
you be ready for jokes? Yes. Let me hit the music.

00:11:28.779 --> 00:12:00.929
All right. I know. Why do I always wait to tell

00:12:00.929 --> 00:12:06.120
my phone Is at 1 % to charge it. Why? Because

00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:12.419
I like living on the edge. Why do I keep saying

00:12:12.419 --> 00:12:18.960
I'll be there in five minutes? Why? Because I'm

00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.659
still in the shower. Sounds less professional.

00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:29.179
Why do I love self -checkout? Why? Because it's

00:12:29.179 --> 00:12:32.059
the only job where nobody complains about my

00:12:32.059 --> 00:12:37.440
work. Mm -hmm. Why do I always hit remind me

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.679
tomorrow? Why? Because tomorrow has a much better

00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.659
attitude than today. Ah, geez. Why do I always

00:12:46.659 --> 00:12:52.559
check the weather five times a day? Why? Because

00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:57.309
maybe... This time it will say 72 and 70. It's

00:12:57.309 --> 00:13:01.389
that in Florida, but plus 18. Why do I always

00:13:01.389 --> 00:13:05.750
lose the TV remote? Why? Because apparently it

00:13:05.750 --> 00:13:11.950
enjoys taking little vacations. Why do I always

00:13:11.950 --> 00:13:16.710
wave at people even when I'm not sure it's them?

00:13:16.990 --> 00:13:22.789
Why? Because embarrassment only lasts a few seconds.

00:13:24.650 --> 00:13:27.730
Would I keep opening the same apple over and

00:13:27.730 --> 00:13:30.690
over? Why? Because maybe this time something

00:13:30.690 --> 00:13:36.690
interesting happened. Why do I always save leftovers?

00:13:37.149 --> 00:13:41.610
Why? Because future me deserves a little surprise.

00:13:43.309 --> 00:13:47.409
And finally, would I tell myself one more snack?

00:13:47.710 --> 00:13:51.389
Why? Because the first four didn't seem convincing

00:13:51.389 --> 00:13:57.669
enough. And that's it for the jokes. Good job,

00:13:57.789 --> 00:14:01.470
Hank. Aaron, Hank. If I hit the music, would

00:14:01.470 --> 00:14:05.029
you be ready for music trivia? Yes. One second.

00:14:06.629 --> 00:14:25.350
Right here. Hank's got the mic up high. Pop hits

00:14:25.350 --> 00:14:27.830
playing to the end of the sky. Gotta keep it

00:14:27.830 --> 00:14:30.549
real. Can't let it slide. Answers in my head.

00:14:30.629 --> 00:14:34.210
Can't let them hide. Pop trivia. Yeah, we bring

00:14:34.210 --> 00:14:36.350
in the Hank. Hey, Hank. What do you got? Take

00:14:36.350 --> 00:14:38.929
a seat. Playing those hits. We had a top ten

00:14:38.929 --> 00:14:44.990
country crossover hit. Behind closed doors. Way

00:14:44.990 --> 00:14:49.070
back in 1974. Oh, Jesus Christ. I was like, not

00:14:49.070 --> 00:14:52.090
even my parents had any of that. I don't know.

00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:59.860
Dolly Parton. Tony Rich. Who has a top 10 R &B

00:14:59.860 --> 00:15:03.559
hit record? Nobody knows. Way back in the late

00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:10.779
90s. Give me a second. Let me think. Genuine?

00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.460
You're close. The Tony Rich Project. I would

00:15:15.460 --> 00:15:17.419
have never got that, but I appreciate you saying

00:15:17.419 --> 00:15:20.139
I'm close. Any other ones? That's it for this

00:15:20.139 --> 00:15:23.350
week. Hank, do you know what I'm playing right

00:15:23.350 --> 00:15:28.389
now? Yes. What am I playing? Church music. Hell

00:15:28.389 --> 00:15:33.049
yeah! Can you hear it on your end? Nope. You

00:15:33.049 --> 00:15:36.110
just have that chemistry with me. You know what

00:15:36.110 --> 00:15:41.549
I'm doing. What's going on in church? After John's

00:15:41.549 --> 00:15:45.149
returning for a brief time this Sunday, I will

00:15:45.149 --> 00:15:49.909
continue the book of 1 Peter. How's that going?

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.360
Pretty good. What are you learning about with

00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:58.620
Jesus? You're becoming a better person. I think

00:15:58.620 --> 00:16:01.620
you're a good enough dude already. And also,

00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.220
Pastor John is leaving at the end of this month

00:16:04.220 --> 00:16:08.120
for surgery. I hope he feels better. Anything

00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:13.659
else going on in church? That's it. Hank, if

00:16:13.659 --> 00:16:15.480
I hit the music, are you ready for a buddy of

00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:48.970
the week? Yes. Let's go. Alright Hank! Who's

00:16:48.970 --> 00:16:53.580
your buddy, Hank? Definitely Miguel and also

00:16:53.580 --> 00:16:57.519
everyone in the San Jose Giants organization

00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:00.879
for inviting me to see the National Anthem on

00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.000
the 21st of this month at the Excite Ballpark

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.039
in San Jose. When did you get invited? How many

00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:12.420
days ago? About... A month ago. Good. You got

00:17:12.420 --> 00:17:16.259
so much happening. It's hard to keep track. But

00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:20.319
good job, Hank. Thank you, buddy. Any other buddies?

00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:23.759
That's it. Are you ready for Prickin' the News?

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:28.480
Yes. Let's go. Right now. As I turn up the music.

00:17:28.740 --> 00:17:40.829
Mm -hmm. Henry on the mic, what's this? Prick

00:17:40.829 --> 00:17:43.529
in the news, fools thinkin' they slick Ryan got

00:17:43.529 --> 00:17:46.910
the scoop crew ready to expose Shots fired dodgin'

00:17:46.970 --> 00:17:49.450
pigs in the petty pros Coppers in the back, hoppy

00:17:49.450 --> 00:17:51.589
with that verbal machete Every word a weapon,

00:17:51.690 --> 00:17:53.750
cameras rollin', y 'all ain't ready Keyboard

00:17:53.750 --> 00:17:56.329
warriors actin' tough behind the screen Between

00:17:56.329 --> 00:17:58.329
the lines, you get sliced like a deli cheese

00:17:58.329 --> 00:18:00.609
Prick in the news, he's a thorn in your side

00:18:00.609 --> 00:18:02.750
Explosin' all your lies, there ain't no place

00:18:02.750 --> 00:18:05.730
to hide Henry Ryan droppin' facts and truth bombs

00:18:05.730 --> 00:18:08.730
This ain't a sitcom, more like Gorilla Combs

00:18:11.539 --> 00:18:15.099
All right, Hank, who's your prick of the week?

00:18:15.940 --> 00:18:20.799
It's me. All the masterminds at iHeartMedia for

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.279
laying off a lot of my buddies after years and

00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:28.900
years of experience. That would be Bob Eatman,

00:18:29.299 --> 00:18:35.599
the douchebag. He's my prick of the week. There

00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:42.049
you go. Anything else on your mind, Hank? Well,

00:18:42.210 --> 00:18:45.490
I got to say what's up to all my buddies at 1804

00:18:45.490 --> 00:18:49.450
.9 for still having the job. Yeah, shout out.

00:18:49.650 --> 00:18:52.950
As much crap talking as I do about that douche

00:18:52.950 --> 00:18:55.470
crap, I'm telling you, I don't want anybody to

00:18:55.470 --> 00:18:58.269
be unemployed. You can be the biggest douche

00:18:58.269 --> 00:19:00.970
ever, and I'm rooting for you. So if you're still

00:19:00.970 --> 00:19:03.049
employed, you got to be freaking out a little

00:19:03.049 --> 00:19:08.079
bit. Hang on. Is there anything else? I wanted

00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:11.019
to talk about the 60s TV shows. I forgot about

00:19:11.019 --> 00:19:13.700
that. What's happening with shows from almost

00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:17.859
70 years ago? I used to watch the Flintstones,

00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:21.380
the Jetsons. I love the Jetsons. It's better.

00:19:21.539 --> 00:19:24.660
And also the TV show Combat, which is a wartime

00:19:24.660 --> 00:19:29.299
drama. Hey, guy, what's better, Flintstones or

00:19:29.299 --> 00:19:35.599
Jetsons? We have a disagreement and that's because

00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:40.579
we are friends. I prefer the jet scenes. I think

00:19:40.579 --> 00:19:53.359
his wife's a hot ass mouth. Anyway. Anything

00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:57.200
else, Hank? That should do it. Alright, let me

00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:01.170
hit the music. All right, here. I want a second.

00:20:01.609 --> 00:20:04.109
One second, dude. Let me do this right here.

00:20:05.869 --> 00:20:07.670
Before we sign off, Hank, because we always sign

00:20:07.670 --> 00:20:12.730
off so fast. Can you believe we've done 68 shows?

00:20:13.109 --> 00:20:17.450
I mean, 58. Yes. It's crazy. It's flying by.

00:20:17.450 --> 00:20:19.950
We have 50 ,000 more to come. Oh, yeah. A thousand?

00:20:20.029 --> 00:20:21.450
Hell, yeah. Something like that. If we live it

00:20:21.450 --> 00:20:23.869
all along, we do it once a week. Hammer and Hank,

00:20:24.089 --> 00:20:30.509
any final thoughts? never give up always stay

00:20:30.509 --> 00:20:33.769
focused on your goals and maybe someday your

00:20:33.769 --> 00:20:35.789
dreams to come true and I'll talk to you next

00:20:35.789 --> 00:20:40.609

always dances around it but he said it I don't

00:20:50.809 --> 00:20:53.670
need the approval of women I got it from Hank

00:20:53.670 --> 00:21:08.259

00:21:08.259 --> 00:21:10.680

00:21:37.730 --> 00:21:39.690
Static in the speakers where the laughter used

00:21:39.690 --> 00:21:42.069
to ride. Hank led the show with that beautiful

00:21:42.069 --> 00:21:44.730
pride. Autism didn't stop him. Nods amplified.

00:21:45.410 --> 00:21:48.369
