AI Baby: The Gender Reveal Nobody Asked For
Pastor Hank just attended the strangest gender reveal in history… and the smoke didn’t turn pink or blue. It turned chrome. In this episode, Hank breaks down how artificial intelligence has quietly moved from novelty to necessity faster than most of us even noticed. We talk to it. We ask it questions. We let it write our emails. We let it pick our music. We let it think for us. And while we’re busy clapping at the ultrasound, the baby is growing up fast. Hank compares AI to an ultrasound you can talk to — only this baby might grow up...
Tick Tacs, Insta-Grams & Swipin’ for Love: Pastor Hank vs. The Internet
What happens when a 50-plus brain tries to survive TikTok, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Tinder, and whatever app the kids invented this week? Pastor Hank dives headfirst into the digital jungle and comes out confused, slightly concerned, and very entertained. In this episode, Hank breaks down how older generations see social media — from mispronouncing “TikTok” as “Tick Tacks” to calling Instagram “Insta-Grams” like it’s a breakfast cereal. He contrasts life before algorithms, before swiping, before every awkward moment was permanently archived in 4K — with today’s world of influencers, filters, and dating apps that feel more like online vending machines than relati...
Binder Guy Runs the Show: The Power You Didn’t Know You Gave Away
Everybody thinks politics happens on election day. Yard signs. TV ads. Big speeches. Drama. Wrong. In this episode, Pastor Hank breaks down the Minnesota caucus and convention system in plain English and shows why the real power doesn’t live in November — it lives upstream in boring rooms with fluorescent lights and folding chairs. He explains how delegates are chosen, why turnout is painfully low, how “Binder Guy” with his Rules & Procedures notebook quietly controls outcomes, and why the people who keep showing up when nobody’s watching end up running the whole operation. This isn’t just about Republicans. It’s not eve...
Who Really Won in Minneapolis?
Operation Metro Surge is over. Both sides are claiming victory. But who actually won? In this episode, Pastor Hank breaks down what happened in Minneapolis and asks the bigger question nobody wants to answer: What happens to federal authority when coordinated obstruction faces no visible consequences? Yes, there were operational gains. Yes, cooperation improved. But what message does this outcome send to activists, elected officials, and cities watching across the country? Is this a clear enforcement success - or did Minnesota just demonstrate that enough street pressure forces federal retreat? This episode tackles deterrence, perception, and the long-term implications for...
Epstein Files: Still Redacted
Americans have been promised transparency on the Epstein files. Instead, we keep getting documents that look like they lost a fight with a Sharpie. In this episode, Pastor Hank takes on the redactions, the endless delays, the political theater, and the bipartisan dance around accountability. Why are the powerful always protected while regular folks get processed in public? From Clinton flight miles to campaign-season promises of sunlight, Hank swings at both sides and asks a simple question: who exactly is being protected?

Save the Excuses
In this episode, Pastor Hank takes on the political meltdown over voter ID and the SAVE America Act. Why does showing proof of citizenship suddenly become controversial when you already need ID for everything else in life? Hank breaks down the irony of ivory-tower lawmakers lecturing everyday Americans about how hard basic documentation is - while they cling to power behind marble walls. It’s political theater, common sense from the pavement, and a reminder that democracy shouldn’t require a fainting couch. Short. Sharp. Swingin’.
