Wow, I did not see this coming and was very confused when I saw Daniel Tucker tweet this: Then I listened to KRATER96 on Thursday morning. When did “Hammertime” just become “Time” as I listened to Zip Recruiter ads and Traitor by Oliva Rodrigo. When did “your pal” become “your memory?” Where was “Traffic on […]
Yup, Danielle is definitely the best traffic reporter on Oahu. Not only are her traffic reports detailed, understandable, and extremely useful, but she interacts with her audience, helping them through their commute. Case in point was Tuesday’s traffic debacle. Leaving work almost immediately I ran into a backlog of cars, and time ticked by trying […]
This morning on Hammertime, Two Voice Tuesday took a slightly different direction with a creative challenge. The fan who proposed the most creative combination for Gregg Hammer would win a prize. Listen to the two finalists of a duet of David Ige and Linda Lingle or JrKJr’s sister as the Swedish Chef espousing fast food. […]
The nostalgia of summers past is rolling out at Starbucks with their upcoming S’mores Frappuccino. Starting on April 28, 2015, Starbucks will inspire you with the nostalgic experience of roasting S’mores. That means that you’ll be sucking down: marshmallow-infused whipped cream and milk chocolate sauce, a creamy blend of graham, coffee, milk and ice, then […]
Did you catch Danielle Tucker wondering what a mashup of Tweetie Bird and President Obama would sound like? After her traffic report, Gregg Hammer made it happen.

The dream has died, and so went Island 98.5 from my car radio preset lineup. The dream? The reunion of the OG Wake-Up Crew with Rory and Gregg Hammer (and Krey-Z). I’ve fully accepted this will not come to pass. Another impetus for this change is the emergence of ALT105.9. The new KPOI plays modern […]
So you’re 24 years young, making millions playing a game you love, and just achieved a major milestone. Who cares if Michelle Wie partied it up a bit to celebrate. What is funny is Gregg Hammer’s impersonation of a golf announcer doing the play calling for Michelle’s against-the-wall twerking. Take a listen… [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/155842413″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” […]
Mea culpa if this is old news, but when did Hammertime on KRTR 96.3 revive the famous Two Voice Tuesday? Have I somehow been missing out all this time listening to Gregg Hammer combine two vocal caricatures? Here are a few clips from today’s zaniness. All-Asian Wayne Anzaki mixed with Austrian-American Arnold Schwarzenegger. [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/147187280″ […]
I can’t believe it’s been nearly two years since I participated on an embark of the USS Nimitz during RIMPAC 2012. The sights, the sounds, the surprises, and the memories. If I could, who would I nominate for an embark? The Ambassador of VH07V In the footsteps of the original Ambassadors of Aloha, Ed Sugimoto […]
Order in the world is gradually returning to normal. The first sign is the comeback of Hostess goodies. Despite their nutritional value, your childhood memories are better off with Twinkies in them. The second sign is this hint from former radio personality Gregg Hammer. Hammer returning to the airwaves after leaving? Yes, please! I’m wondering […]
I like to review popular search terms that bring readers here to Pulpconnection, and sometimes, I just gotta laugh. One search term that’s been percolating for the past week is “moose knuckle.” The culprit is the pulpy post “Was That a DWTS Moose Knuckle, Gilles?” If you recall, back in 2009, actor Gilles Marini’s wardrobe […]
On Island 98.5, Tuesday mornings are designated as Two Voice Tuesdays where Gregg Hammer mashes up two impersonations. You call in with two personalities, and Sir Hammer does his impromptu magic. This past Tuesday, you could have heard a Samoan Linda Lingle, a Micronesian Frank Delima, a Samoan Hitler, Larry Price mixed with Al Sharpton, […]
