108.9 The Hawk with Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock

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, and a Toyota Yaris. Joe Wengert, co-creator of the upcoming Prime Video animated series Kevin, joins the show as Ed Zed, a man so committed to continuing The Doors’ legacy that he has replaced the music, the lyrics, and most of the band with songs like “Haircuts,” “Rubber Band,” “Open Your Third Eye,” and “Bug Spray.” Things only get worse when Robbie Krieger calls in, his dog is somehow still on a ventilator, and Ed Zed continues insisting this is all just family business.

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 most of the interview trying to understand the premise, refusing to understand the premise, and then actively making the premise worse. That’s just what we do.

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 Cream, and Clare absolutely cleans up in a vicious round of What’s That Sound?

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, having admitted to a pattern of automobile-related incidents that spans at least a dozen municipalities. A triumph for public transit outreach. Chandler Dean (comedian, host of Abolish Everything) joins Whisp and Geoff as Stephen Ribble, a polished former Department of Transportation spokesperson who has somehow become the worst possible face of a civic infrastructure launch.

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, Mule. The segment's unexpected authority on the subject: the anthropomorphized coke rock from Neil Young's left nostril, who has thoughts. Also this week: Good Rock Facts. Whisp presents his thesis that Def Leppard's "Rocket" is secretly a song about salmonella — specifically, Robert "Mutt" Lange's food poisoning. The evidence is circumstantial. The conviction is total. Cool It Down 102. Whisp goes deep into his New York radio archives, dusting off airchecks from 1989 and 1990, and spends a dangerous amount of time wondering if the entire Hawk format should be rebuilt around an era when radio was still good and he was still young. How Tight Them Pants. Val Verde callers are asked one simple question. None of them answer it in under a sentence. Geoff and Whisp sit with it as the calls spiral into extended monologues about short pants, Linda Ronstadt, and the sightlines of a community theater. Let's Get Real for a Second. Geoff observes that the members of The Band may have assembled the strangest collection of human faces in rock history. This opens a door. Neil Young's coke rock walks through it, ready to discuss self-snorting, bad investments, and the lossless audio promise of Mule. Listen. Subscribe. Join the Rock Battalion at 1089thehawk.com.

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 will it be? Who is worthy to carry the Ma Sharney crown and remind patrons that no one truly eats for free?

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 on becoming a better person. Or at least a funnier one. Also on this week's broadcast: Traffic with Art Spart.Big Scotty's Soapbox.Celebrity Impressions.The Vanderpump Initiative.Doobie Brothers Blackwater Water Park. Listen.

Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock welcome contest winner and committed Dire Straits fan Big Scotty into the Hawknest, where he believes he’s there to collect Val Verde County Fair tickets. Instead, he learns he has won the 108.9 The Hawk All Summer Pass, kicking off one of the great recurring Hawk nemesis arcs.

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 flute grunts will happen over the course of this episode? Many. Guaranteed. Pull up a pew. Dust off your codpiece. Kick one leg up on your other leg. And let’s talk about “Aqualung.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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 impressions. Geoff is fielding complaints from the Val Verde Police Department. Art Spart is navigating traffic through roads that may or may not still legally qualify as roads.

Classic Hawk: Springsteen Live At The Verde Dome (with John Murray) Original Airdate: March 6, 2023 Episode Summary In this edition of Classic Hawk, we revisit one of the most electrifying live episodes in 108.9 The Hawk history - Springsteen Live At The Verde Dome with guest John Murray.

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 home has been rezoned into a high-density industrial zone… which means Captain D’s Pretzels can legally open inside Whisp’s bedroom.

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 store in town, owned and operated by local entrepreneur Jeff Weatherman (played by the one and only Will Hines). And why is rocker Steve Winwood roaming Val Verde’s streets like a blue-eyed Terminator?!

Another morning on 108.9 The Hawk, and the Val Verde Radio Wars grind on… Unresolved, undignified, and somehow wetter than ever.

“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. What should be a routine guest segment detonates into a full civic event as Joe Walsh (No Relation) outlines the Val Verde Rock & Roll 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Ultra Marathon, and a race philosophy built on early mornings, public bragging, and mechanical bulls used as motivational tools. Meanwhile: • Art Spart returns from a prolonged traffic hiatus • Jimmy One Meal releases a posthumous song called “Shark Sex” and no one asks permission • Jason Gore reigns supreme at 98.6 The Squirt and declares himself the greatest DJ alive • Bloody nipples, nip guards, and weaponized areolas dominate the discourse • Threads is exposed as a scolding platform and Bluesky as a joke museum • A 90s lyrics game confirms that memory is fake and lyrics never mattered Guest Starring: Dru Johnston as Joe Walsh (No Relation) Check out Dru's Substack at https://ivegottheruns.substack.com Become One With The Hawk SubscribeThe signal is everywhere.Join the Rock Battalion:1089thehawk.comSupport the station on Patreon:patreon.com/1089thehawkWatch The Hawk on YouTubeyoutube.com/@1089thehawkFollow us everywhere: Hosted on Acast.

Whisp Turlington enters 2026 determined to be “full of light” and permanently high-vibing — a plan that immediately collapses under the weight of Instagram stories, sauce-list politics, Whisp and Geoff’s rival station beef with 98.6 The Squirt, and a catastrophic misunderstanding involving Enya. As Whisp attempts to record the perfect Instagram message from the front seat of his limousine, the broadcast spirals through haunted MTV memories, dead-mall real estate, non-denominational church bands, Farmer Dan’s hell gate, sponsor live reads that absolutely should not be allowed on air, and Whisp’s revelation to Geoff of why Enya is definitely not calling in today.
