108.9 The Hawk is a classic-rock radio station broadcasting from Val Verde, the strangest city in America. Hosted by Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock and featuring your favorite comedians, The Hawk presents a fully fictional world of DJs, fake sponsors, live remotes, and station drama — all in service of keeping classic rock alive on a dying medium. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Val Verde Fashion Week hits town, which means the convention center basement is once again full of five-wolf shirts, novelty a-hole apparel, and enough all-over prints to blind a horse. From there, Whisp and Geoff spiral into a deeply cursed roundup of mugs from Juggggs Mug Emporium, and a live remote from Uncle Petruccio’s where Big Truck nearly floats to Mount Hetfield on pure helium meat.
The real centerpiece, though, is Geor...
DoorsCon26 hits Val Verde, which means the convention center is packed with shirtless Jim Morrison freaks, suspicious Ray Manzarek lookalikes, and exactly one self-declared Doors legacy act. Enter Ed Zed, frontman of The Windows, who insists he is not running a tribute band. He is preserving the spirit of The Doors through legal gray areas, naked vocals, and a deeply troubling origin story involving Robbie Krieger, Benedict Canyon,...
Jury Duty 2: That’s Just What We Do with Chris Kula
Chris Kula, writer and executive producer of Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat stops by the Whisp Turlington Morning Show to promote the show, and immediately finds himself trapped in the one press appearance in America where the hosts are more interested in Freevee’s death, Bosch’s late night habits, and whether anyone under 30 remembers UCB sketches. Whisp and Geoff spend m...
The Bathroom Boys with Clare O’Kane
Clare O'Kane returns to Val Verde for a homecoming stand at Dingbats, and naturally the conversation immediately veers into Bathroom Boys podcast lore, clink recovery, and whether the Rock & Roll RV’s six-month no-number-two streak can survive the visit. Along the way, Art Spart reports on a catastrophic sandwich spill dividing the town, Hawk Rock News tackles Phil Collins, U2, and Sons of...
All Aboard The Val Verde Crazy Train with Chandler Dean
Val Verde's $15 billion transit miracle has 13 riders, zero credibility, and one communications director who really should not be allowed near a microphone.
Stephen Ribble arrived at the Rock & Roll RV to pitch the Val Verde Crazy Train to a skeptical public. He came prepared with talking points. He left under police escort, seated in an oversized rocking chair, havi...
Neil Young's New Streaming Service
Whisp and Geoff kick off the morning buried in useless classic rock trivia, detours through Whisp's Cool It Down 102 era, and a listener topic so aggressively pointless that even The Hawk struggles to justify airing it. Rock News eventually surfaces with updates on Pearl Jam, the Eagles announcing additional dates at Val Verde's Big Ball, and Neil Young's new high-fidelity streaming platform, M...
Classic Hawk - Long Live Ma Sharney
Welcome back to Classic Hawk.
Today’s Episode: LONG LIVE MA SHARNEY
Original airdate: 2023-03-27
Ma Sharney is dead.
And in Val Verde, that does not mean peace. It means a Sharney’s conclave happening at Val Verde's favorite dining chain.
In this blast of Val Verde canon, the town is forced to confront one of its oldest traditions: with Ma Sharney gone, a new Ma Sharney must be elected. Who...
The Eagles are playing 87 shows in a row at Val Verde's Big Ball, and one lucky Hawk listener has won front row seats to every single one of them. Unfortunately, that listener is Big Scotty.
Tom Scharpling (The Best Show) returns as Geoff Garlock's longtime nemesis - a man who hates the Eagles, doesn't want the prize, is under the influence of too many magic stones and not enough lotion, and has been working with his mentor Abe ...

Welcome back to Hawk Rock Talk: Classic Albums
Geoff “The Actual Man” Garlock and Jason Gore go deep on one of the most CLASSIC albums in CLASSIC rock history.
This week: the 1971 masterpiece that launched Jethro Tull into the stratosphere - "Aqualung."
British blues-flute-rock.
Concept-adjacent theology.
Acoustic guitars in weird time signatures.
And yes, a completely irresponsible number of Ian Anderson flute grunts.
How many fl...
The Murder & Sinkhole Capital of the World
Val Verde did it again.
Producer Scotty has UPDATED THE OPEN and made it official: we have retained our rightful title as the Murder Capital of the World. And in a coordinated civic achievement, we have also been crowned the Sinkhole Capital of the World.
The earth continues to open. We continue to broadcast.
It’s a standard morning inside the Rock & Roll RV. Whisp is doing imp...

Livin’ Lovin’ Hawk...
Whisp Turlington is salty. And for once, it’s not because Bastrd AI is generating “Hogan’s Heroes” deepfake erotica.
No. Today, the Val Verde City Council has declared war on Turlington Manor (the dead mall that Whisp lives in), and they’re doing it the only way Val Verde knows how:
Through zoning.
A new councilman, Edmund Sullivan (Eric Cunningham), comes into the Rock & Roll RV to explain why Whisp’s ...

We couldn’t say much at the time without giving everything away… and honestly, we still can’t.
Today’s Classic Hawk takes us back to the moment i...
The Hawk is back, and Val Verde is once again experiencing the kind of civic growth that only happens when a man (Whisp Turlington) invents an AI named BASTRD… and another man opens a pet store that accidentally becomes a dogfighting arena.
This week on 108.9 The Hawk (Val Verde’s second favorite classic rock station), Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock break down the grand opening of Woof It Up, the newest pet s...

After the 800K Tons Of Nuthin’ But Guns Cruise ship sinks, Jason and Geoff find themselves lost at sea — no food, no fresh water, only classic rock radio to keep them sane.
Keep The Hawk Flyin’
Another morning on 108.9 The Hawk, and the Val Verde Radio Wars grind on… Unresolved, undignified, and somehow wetter than ever.
Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock continue broadcasting through pure spite, using Jon Bon Jovi tickets, hostile listener interactions, and wildly irresponsible sponsors as weapons in the never-ending fight against 98.6 The Squirt.
Also in this broadcast:

“The Whisp Turlington Show” welcomes Joe Walsh — no relation — and Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock immediately lose control of the interview, the studio, and most municipal oversight in Val Verde.
