Fri, 18 Sep 2026 - 49min - 317 - Hawk Rock Talk: The Definitive Unflappable List of Pink Floyd Records
The Definitive Unflappable List of Pink Floyd Records
Every magazine, website or podcast has ranked the Pink Floyd catalog. Every one of those rankings is wrong.
Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock separately ranked all 15 Pink Floyd studio albums, then entered a brutal negotiation to create one final, legally binding list. No live albums. Only the studio half of Ummagumma. No appeals.
Along the way, Jason defends the Pink Floyd album he bought at a midnight release, Geoff attacks a beloved record almost immediately, Roger Waters climbs directly into his own ass, David Gilmour records from a boat, and the guys confront the horrifying possibility that classic rock radio may have ruined several legitimately great albums.
Which record is the definitive Pink Floyd masterpiece? Which one belongs at the bottom? How much can nostalgia distort a man’s judgment? And does matching an album with 2001: A Space Odyssey automatically make it better?
The final ranking cannot be disputed. It is definitive. It is unflappable. If you disagree, you are flapping and we've already stated, NO FLAPPING ALLOWED. Val Verde is a no flap zone!
Hawk Rock Talk is hosted by Geoff Garlock and Jason Gore.

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 - 50min - 315 - Former Intern Hates Us with Sally Ann Hall
Former Intern Hates Us with Sally Ann Hall
Comedian Sally Ann Hall returns to 108.9 The Hawk more than 20 years after serving as the station’s “best intern in the biz.” Unfortunately, Sally Ann remembers the internship very differently than Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock.
She recalls ordering three lunches every day, being forbidden from eating any of them, getting pelted with cottage cheese, surviving Good Charlotte’s tapioca cannon and enduring an incident involving Peter Cetera and a floor meatball. Whisp and Geoff agree that this may warrant an apology. Whether she receives one is another matter.
Sally Ann also discusses her new Comedy Dynamics comedy special, Dead Wife Pretty, attempts to give away tickets to her own show and dominates a round of “Sounds That Celebrities Make.” Then Art Spart introduces his new traffic intern, Party Ball, whose professional interests appear to have very little to do with traffic.
Also in this broadcast: Geoff presents the definitive ranking of every Red Hot Chili Peppers member, Whisp terrorizes Val Verde’s worst Foreigner tribute band, Queef’s Bowling suffers a devastating mechanical failure and the station issues an urgent warning about Val Verde’s murderous ice cream man.

The Cosmic Origin of Whisp Turlington
Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock are back from a vacation they absolutely did not take together, only to discover Geoff's hostel has burned to the ground and Kegstand has somehow fallen three years behind current events.
Then Whisp finally reveals one of the most important stories in Hawk history: the cosmic-ray incident at Val Verde University that gave him his legendary hair and transformed his former best friend, Victor Loquacious, into the terrifying Dr. Loquacious. Tic-tac tic-tac.

A New Happy Birthday Song with Rekha Shankar
“No crust or bust, it’s your birthday.”
SERIES SEVEN PREMIERE! Rekha Shankar (Dropout, Smartypants, Game Changer) returns to 108.9 The Hawk as Amelia Dorch, Val Verde’s number one songwriter!
Amelia has written three James Bond themes, collaborated with Bono, survived the recording studio with Axl Rose and created one of the rarest private-press albums in Val Verde history. But now she faces her greatest challenge yet: replacing “Happy Birthday.”
That’s right. Amelia has written a brand-new birthday anthem, and it’s got everything the original forgot: pepperoni, extra sauce, unbelievable pizza deals and the immortal words “crust or bust.”
PLUS: Art Spart returns from online rehab, the Val Verde Dollar Cinemadrome unveils its latest dollar movies, Lower Hog Street declares independence, Whisp prepares his long-range missiles, Stevie Wonder waits angrily in the green room and a new PSA from Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 - 59min - 310 - Hawk Rock Talk: Rock Autopsy - Classic Rock One Hit Wonders, Volume 2
Hawk Rock Talk: Rock Autopsy - Classic Rock One Hit Wonders, Volume 2
Jason Gore and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock return to the classic rock morgue for another examination of the songs that radio refused to let die.
But what exactly makes a classic rock one-hit wonder? A song does not necessarily have to dominate the Billboard charts. Sometimes one regional program director simply decides that “Never Been Any Reason” needs to play three times a week until the end of civilization.
Jason and Geoff investigate the regional-radio mystery of Head East, the yodeling and whistling science behind Focus, and why every classic rock station needed songs long enough for the DJ to leave the studio and take a dump.
They also uncover the interconnected musical universe of Jim Peterik, connecting The Ides of March’s “Vehicle” to Survivor, 38 Special, Sammy Hagar and enough Sylvester Stallone montage music to power an entire training facility.
Plus: Pete Townshend secretly joins Thunderclap Newman as Bijou Drains, Pilot’s “Magic” is permanently converted into an Ozempic commercial, The Knack gives us Weird Al Yankovic, Sugarloaf demands that you stop calling them, Manfred Mann remains responsible for Bruce Springsteen’s only number-one songwriting hit, and Free inspires the cheapest crematorium in Val Verde.
Most importantly, the episode produces two future Hawk institutions: Morgenson’s Crematorium and legendary afternoon radio personality Stanch McTuckens.

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 - 1h 06min - 309 - Hawk Rock Talk Classic: Genesis
Hawk Rock Talk Classic: Genesis
Hawk Rock Summer continues on and this week we feature a Hawk Rock Talk Classic. Originally released October 21, 2022, it’s Hawk Rock Talk: GENESIS!
Jason Gore and Geoff “The Real Person” Garlock go deep into the long, strange and surprisingly emotional history of Geoff’s favorite band: Genesis.
And Genesis is not just one band. It is several completely different bands occupying the same school uniform.
There is the strange British progressive-rock Genesis fronted by Peter Gabriel. There is the transitional version with Steve Hackett and Phil Collins. There is the three-man Genesis that filled arenas, dominated MTV and provided the soundtrack to Saturday mornings in the Gore household. Then there is Calling All Stations, which also technically happened.
Jason and Geoff work through the albums, explain why recommending Genesis requires a psychological evaluation of the listener and attempt to determine how a band that once wrote “Supper’s Ready” eventually became one of the biggest pop groups on Earth.
Plus: Phil Collins reluctantly becomes the singer, Peter Gabriel dresses like a flower without warning anyone, Tony Banks remains the irritated backbone of the operation, “Illegal Alien” is launched into space and Jason accidentally begins climbing up on Salisbury Steak.

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 - 1h 41min - 308 - Hawk Rock Talk - Queen: Live At Wembley 40th Anniversary
Hawk Rock Talk - Queen: Live At Wembley 40th Anniversary
Queen’s legendary Live at Wembley Stadium concert turns 40, and Jason Gore is ready to celebrate one of the most important live albums of his life. Geoff Garlock also watched it, although he did occasionally fast-forward through Brian May’s guitar solo and Queen’s extended trip through the 1950s.
Jason and Geoff look back at Queen’s massive July 12, 1986 Wembley performance, the peak of the Magic Tour and one of the final concerts Queen ever played with Freddie Mercury. They discuss Jason discovering Queen through “Another One Bites the Dust,” Wayne’s World and a mall record store employee named Rick; Freddie’s iconic yellow military jacket; John Deacon’s alarmingly short shorts; the mystery of Freddie Mercury’s onstage package; the audience couple that apparently hugged for the entire concert; and Queen’s unmatched ability to command a stadium.
They also break down the explosive opening run of “One Vision” and “Tie Your Mother Down,” the return of “In the Lap of the Gods… Revisited,” Freddie’s legendary crowd work, the “Radio Ga Ga” claps, the emotional power of “Love of My Life” and “Who Wants to Live Forever,” and the slightly strange decision to place “Friends Will Be Friends” between “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions.”
Plus: Pantera reply guys, gas-station sunglasses, the UK kite festival, One Chicken, Status Quo somehow being the actual answer, the cheap-looking royal crown, and Geoff & Jason saying “nah.”

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 - 58min - 307 - Hawk Rock Talk: Rock Autopsy: Classic Rock One Hit Wonders 1
Hawk Rock Talk: Rock Autopsy: Classic Rock One Hit Wonders 1
It’s Hawk Rock Summer, and Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock are putting on the gloves, grabbing the bone saw, and cracking open the chest cavity of Classic Rock Radio to examine one of its strangest organs: the classic rock one-hit wonder.
What even counts as a one-hit wonder in classic rock? Did it have to make the Top 40? Does it count if the song barely charted, but every classic rock station played it eight times a day? Does it count if the band had other hits, but your local station decided, “No thank you, we will only be playing the one with the riff”?
Jason and Geoff dig into a playlist of “that song!” bands, the groups whose names you may not know, whose albums you may never have heard, but whose one immortal track has been following you around your whole life through movie trailers, sports arenas, local classic rock stations, beer commercials, jukeboxes, and dads’ cars.
Along the way, Jason and Geoff discuss Christian fuzz gospel death boogie, LA spirituality, Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe’s Seinfeld cup, Mungo holes, proto-metal holes, Paul Carrick’s voice, Gerry Rafferty’s Baker Street legacy, Tarantino soundtrack brain, Leslie West making a Les Paul look tiny, Arthur Brown as a pre-KISS theatrical freak, Argent records that Geoff keeps buying and selling, KISS’s “God Gave Rock and Roll to You II,” and whether Europe should legally be required to play “The Final Countdown” three times per set.
This is Part One. Rock Autopsy continues in two weeks.

It’s one penny. It’s twelve cassettes. It’s a metal section that somehow includes Bon Jovi’s New Jersey, Pearl Jam’s Ten, and multiple records Columbia House may or may not have typed correctly.
Jason and Geoff debate Sepultura, Scorpions, Spinal Tap, KISS, Anthrax, Alice In Chains, Faith No More, Judas Priest, Dio, Sabbath, Metallica, and the true emotional weight of finally opening that giant Columbia House shipment on your bed.

Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock kick off Hawk Rock Summer with a deep, shameful, extremely denim-covered investigation into the horniest classic rock songs of the 1980s.
From BulletBoys screaming “Smooth Up In Ya” before the song even starts, to Aerosmith loving it up when they’re going down, Jason and Geoff ask the question rock historians have been too afraid to ask:
Who was the horniest rock band of the 80s?
Also discussed: Faith No More, Neil Young bootleg shirts, Genesis Blossoms, Tawny Kitaen, The Big Hairball, Tommy Lee on the 134, Jon Glaser’s My Dead Dad Was in ZZ Top, and why so many of these songs should maybe be turned off when your kid is in the car.

Monique talks about the Astronomy Club reunion, DCM, Chicago’s Improv and Sketch Fest, and why everyone should watch Astronomy Club on Netflix. Also, she brings Shelly Claymore into Val Verde with the confidence of a woman who has sung background on Boston, Hendrix, Pearl Jam, Peter Gabriel, The Who, Metallica, Foreigner, and songs no one can legally prove she was removed from.
Also on this week’s broadcast:
Shooter’s Bar and Buffet hosts its “Is This Your Tab?” Amnesty Event, where old Bush-era bar tabs can finally be settled and weapons are collected at the door for one day only.Producer Scotty Leaf receives a live HR review and learns that “do better” is both a note and a complete management philosophy.Art Spart Traffic reports that Val Verde is completely jammed by residents lining up for a new Crazy Taxi game that may not exist yet.Geoff’s Good Rock Facts reveals Geoff “Skunk” Baxter’s shocking role in the original pilot of Saved by the Bell.Books-A-Thousand prepares for Shelly Claymore’s two-minute signing, immediately followed by Blue Oyster Cult, which is poor planning by Scotty and everyone knows it.Subscribe to 108.9 The Hawk on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or whatever app you use to buy free podcasts.

Fri, 22 May 2026 - 49min - 295 - The Rock Journalist Who Wrote Every Song with Don Fanelli
It’s Whisp Plays Anything He Wants Wednesday on 108.9 The Hawk, which means Whisp Turlington has seized full control of the playlist, threatened Val Verde with multiple Tormado warnings, and dedicated emotionally devastating Mike + The Mechanics to anyone with a dead dad.
This week, legendary rock journalist Guy Trinkler drops by the Rock & Roll RV to promote his new self-published memoir, Songs, a 655-page list of songs he either helped write, inspired, or assumes were probably about him. Along the way, Guy reveals his role in destroying The Eagles, Billy Joel’s sausage-finger era, Peter Gabriel’s jet ski lifestyle, Pete Townsend’s gibberish problem, and the real courtroom strategy behind Nirvana’s “Come As You Are.”
Don Fanelli joins 108.9 The Hawk as Guy Trinkler, a rock journalist so committed to access that he disguises himself, follows musicians for years, and sees every side of every issue until there are no opinions left, only footnotes. He has been everywhere, seen everything, written almost none of it clearly, and somehow survived being pushed out of an ice hole by a narwhal.
Also on this week’s broadcast:
The Val Verde Fire Department Calendar Reveal Party. Whisp reports back from a heroic night of emergency services, novelty mugs, and the undeniable July power of Jerry July.Art Spart Traffic. Art is supposed to report on road conditions, but he is still trapped inside the Deku Tree after 1,800 hours of Ocarina of Time and somehow has 23,000 Twitch subscribers.Big Truck Hawkcasts from Hog Street.

Mon, 18 May 2026 - 57min - 294 - Classic Hawk - Don Valley Overnights with James Adomian
Welcome to CLASSIC HAWK - a weekly look back at the greatest broadcasts in 108.9 The Hawk history.
Originally released on September 30, 2024, this episode brought legendary radio DJ Don Valley, played by James Adomian, into the Hawk universe for a rare and possibly medically inadvisable morning appearance.
Due to a 5am misfire from sister station 8888 ValleyNewsRadio, Don Valley has to extend his overnight shift on 108.9 The Hawk and suddenly finds himself awake at 6am, which is not where an overnight radio legend is meant to live. Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock check in as Don Valley brings decades of radio gravity, sleep deprivation, and suspiciously deep broadcast wisdom into the Hawknest.

Fri, 15 May 2026 - 42min - 293 - Other Anthony with Rob Lathan
108.9 The Hawk is broadcasting live from the annual Val Verde Car, Boat and Horse Expo, a beloved local tradition that began in 1884 as a horse show, became a boat show through violence, and eventually swallowed the auto show because Val Verde can only support so many chuds in one room.
This week, Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock welcome Other Anthony from Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, who is supposedly here to promote the hit Amazon Prime series, except he does not seem to know he was on a show. As far as Other Anthony is concerned, he still works at Rocking Grandma’s Hot Sauce, still reports to an abandoned office full of squirrels, rats, birds of prey, and black mold, and is simply visiting Val Verde to source peppers and maybe find a boat, car, horse, or horse trailer to live in.
Rob Lathan joins 108.9 The Hawk as Other Anthony, assistant procurement and sourcing manager for Rockin’ Grandma’s Hot Sauce, a man with severe brain fog, questionable workplace access, and a deep spiritual bond with Cinnamon, the mascot for Flenderson’s Horse Bags.
Also on this week’s broadcast:
The Val Verde Car, Boat and Horse Expo. Whisp and Geoff report live from the Civic Center, surrounded by Cinnamon the horse, Lady Beauregard the steamboat, Baby Bugatti, Turbo Grandpa, toy boats for smart rats, and horses named Daisy Belle, Willow, Rosie June and more.Art Spart Traffic. Art is still trapped inside the Deku Tree in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, now with 1.5 million Twitch subscribers and a very specific audience for Link’s ass.Cinnamon Tries Hot Sauce.

Mon, 11 May 2026 - 1h 01min - 292 - Classic Hawk - Front Yard Gundam with Aaron Burdette
Welcome to CLASSIC HAWK- a weekly look back at the greatest broadcasts in 108.9 The Hawk history.
Originally released on September 23, 2024, this episode introduced listeners to Dan Luis Obispo, played by Aaron Burdette, and one of the most important questions in Val Verde residential history: can a man build a giant Gundam in his front yard and still technically be a good neighbor?
Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock welcome Dan Luis Obispo into the Rock & Roll RV to discuss his ongoing fights with his neighbors and Val Verde City Council over Clarita, the giant Gundam he built outside his home. Along the way, Dan calls out his enemies in Val Verde Springs, Whisp remembers a visit to Mojitostownship Resort, and the entire town is forced to ask whether property rights include huge anime battle armor.

Mon, 04 May 2026 - 28min - 290 - The George Lucas Jeans Museum
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 George Lucas. Specifically, George Lucas in head-to-toe denim. There is no guest. There is only judgment.

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 - 30min - 289 - The Spirit of The Doors with Joe Wengert
DoorsCon26hits 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 Retreatstops 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.

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?

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 - 53min - 286 - All Aboard The Val Verde Crazy Train with Chandler Dean
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 Ribblearrived 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.
Also on this week's broadcast:
Michael Danny Honey returns. Whisp reveals a long-buried truth about soft-rock heartthrob Michael Danny Honey and confirms the reissue of the classic Where Am I Supposed to Park My Car?Traffic with Art Spart. Art attempts to report on Crazy Train conditions while fully absorbed in his Twitch stream. It's Sonic time, baby!Big Truck rides the rails. Broadcasting live from onboard the Crazy Train, Big Truck describes the experience as less "modern infrastructure" and more "county fair Gravitron operated by a man who took too much coke."VerdeChan investigates.

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 - 56min - 285 - Neil Young's New Streaming Service
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.

Original airdate: 2023-03-27
Ma Sharney is dead.
And in Val Verde, that does not mean peace. It means a Sharney’s conclavehappening 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.

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.
Meanwhile:

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 - 1h 03min - 276 - WOOF IT UP with Will Hines
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.

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 - 57min - 272 - Joe Walsh (No Relation) Forces Val Verde to Run (with Dru Johnston)
“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)

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 - 1h 02min - 270 - High Vibing With Whisp Turlington (Enya Does NOT Call In)
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.

Meanwhile:
• MTV VJs are debated
• Tony Banks calls in from the studio

Val Verde’s airwaves descend into all-out chaos when Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock discover their former co-host Jason Gore is now the number-one morning host on rival station 98.6 The Squirt.
As Whisp spirals over Patreon, bonus episodes, horny call-in segments, and the unthinkable success of Staind-based radio, The Hawk fires back with sabotage, mind-powered drones, and a full-scale rebranding that may or may not erase Geoff from the show title entirely.
A battle for terrestrial radio supremacy, fought live on air.
What to do, what to do.

Mon, 05 May 2025 - 44min - 221 - The 20th Most Loved Radio Show with Mike Drucker
Join Geoff and Whisp as they grapple with plummeting radio ratings (from #1 to #10 and then #20!). They blame a disastrous “98.6 The Squirt" ad buy and explore the questionable comfort of Chatbot therapy. This episode takes a wild turn with Marvel "What If...?" scenarios, the dangers of Val Verde's Pac-Man Fever-a-Thon, and a truly unforgettable interview with Zimothy Larson (Mike Drucker), the eccentric owner of "Bookshelf Books." Zimothy's struggle with names, his disdain for James Patterson (except during "Eruption"), and the legacy of his father's "Zavid's Sexy Books" add to the chaos.
