Episode #64
The Hammerin' Hank Show, Show Notes Hank's supposed to catch the Giants game on Saturday at 1 o'clock, but 7 a.m. rolls around and the whole plan evaporates. People talking too much, too much noise, the energy just isn't there. Ryan pushes back: what's really going on? The conversation spirals into exactly the kind of unfiltered, hilarious back-and-forth that makes this show work, no corporate filter, just two guys figuring out why sometimes the thing you thought you wanted doesn't feel right when the moment arrives. From there, it's radio memories and freestyle music from the '80s (Lisa Lisa gets a full workout), a Kansas autism awareness PSA that won best in its category, and the question of whether the NFL and NBA should actually be playing on Christmas. Hank's got opinions. Ryan's got follow-ups. The jokes hit fast, ladder jokes, freezer jokes, spoon-and-cookies jokes, all landing before the trivia block kicks in. There's a shout-out to a listener who's been tuned in for 30 years, a buddy of the week, and Hank's prick of the week: radio CEOs who lay people off and then complain the medium is dying. The hypocrisy lands hard. Close out with church talk, breakfast at Texas Roadhouse, and the national anthem Hank's singing at a high school event in Hayward. Subscribe wherever you listen.

Episode #63
The Hammerin' Hank Show, Show Notes Hank's got dating on the brain, and Ryan's here to make sure he does it right. This episode tackles the real question: should Hammerin' Hank jump into the dating app world? Spoiler alert, yes, and Hinge is the move. Ryan breaks down why Hinge beats Bumble and Tinder for someone like Hank. The prompts let him be honest about who he is: a guy who doesn't drive, who's high-functioning autistic, who's got a radio legacy most people would kill for. But here's the catch, he's gotta lead with Henry, not the Hall of Fame. Ryan walks him through a dating profile take-two, steering clear of the radio-obsessed types who only stick around for the microphone. The show also hits classic Hammerin' Hank territory: radio memories from K-Tom in Salinas back in 1992, the James Lick High School diving board jump with Big Joe, and a full comedy block that ranges from bank account anxiety to football one-liners. There's a shout-out to Selena from Hot 97.7 Fresno, a hard look at a Wisconsin radio manager who lost his job over a child safety incident, and Hank's upcoming blood work. Luna makes a surprise appearance. Flying Brian's got love for the legend. And Ryan's already planning to hook Hank up with ChatGPT Plus as an early birthday gift. Peace in your hood.

Episode #49
The Hammerin' Hank Show, Show Notes Hank's manifesting real wins this week. He's locked in to sing the national anthem at the San Jose Giants game on July 21st, taking on the Ontario baseball team. When Ryan asked how excited he was on a scale of one to ten, Hank didn't hesitate: a solid 10. This is what happens when you stay focused on your goals. The episode kicks off with radio memories from 1992, a visit to KTRB in Modesto and a tour of FM104KHOP. Hank's got the Bay Area radio history locked down, and these moments matter to him. He's also been to Giants games recently, catching San Francisco take on Arizona (the Diamondbacks won, and yeah, the Giants need to figure out how to hit and score runs). Ryan brings the heat with pop trivia, and Hank nails it. Tupac's mid-90s hip-hop record change, the Carpenters' 1973 hit "Sing", he's got the knowledge. The show rolls through Buddy of the Week (shout-out to Miguel and the San Jose Giants organization for the anthem opportunity), and Hank's got one wish: to do a good job singing and for the war to end. Church was solid too. Guest speaker talked about the birth of Christ and how to be a better person, always room to grow. Subscribe wherever you listen. Watch the full episode at [link].

Episode #62
The Hammerin' Hank Show, Show Notes Hank's been chasing the national anthem gig all week, reaching out to the Minnesota High football games, Santa Cruz Warriors, and the Kings. He's got the emails lined up and he's not stopping. Meanwhile, Ryan's pushing him toward the dating apps because apparently Hank needs a hot Latina woman to take to a Sabrina Carpenter concert, and yes, we're still mad Britney isn't touring anymore. The show kicks off with radio memories from way back: Hank attended the 97 FM KSJQ anniversary party in Minnesota in 1985, scored some water slide prizes (didn't use them), and got to sit close to the stage at a Shakira show. That's the kind of energy we're talking about. Then we hit the joke block, ten regular jokes about keys, pantries, shoes, and the chaos of everyday life, followed by a full homeless joke set that lands harder than you'd expect. Church is going extremely good, too. Pastor John had surgery, guest speakers are filling in during August, and Hank's been praying about his radio career and his date prospects. Music trivia covers the 2000s: Michelle Branch, Shakira, Britney Spears. Hank nails a question about Liv Detell's 1986 number one hit. Then we get into the Prick of the News, Diddy's in solitary after getting beat up in prison, and yeah, we're calling him out. Buddy of the Week goes to everyone helping Hank land those national anthem slots. The man's more popular than Ryan at this point. Never give up. Focus on your goals. That's the message.
