108.9 The Hawk with Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock

The Val Verde Radio Wars: Slippery, Old & Wet

Season 6, Ep. 27

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:

  • A Jon Bon Jovi ticket giveaway that becomes psychological warfare
  • Geoff live reads a new ad from “Grandaddy’s Little Angels.”
  • Juggggs Mug Emporium clears out the worst mugs of 2025
  • Big Truck reports live from Metallica’s salad restaurant, And Salads For All!
  • Callers are punished for calling

  • 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?!Guest Starring: Will HinesFollow Will here: https://www.instagram.com/williebhines/Learn more about WGIS - World’s Greatest Improv School here: https://www.wgimprovschool.com/Become One With The HawkSubscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube — wherever you listen.Join the Rock Battalion at 1089thehawk.comSupport the station on Patreon: patreon.com/1089thehawkWatch full broadcasts, clips, and ongoing radio hostilities on YouTube.

  • 25. High Vibing With Whisp Turlington (Enya Does NOT Call In)

    52:28||Season 6, Ep. 25
    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.Sponsored by:Val Verde Memorial HospitalLittle FeetBad Company Fudge CompanyBecome One With The HawkSubscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube — wherever you listen.
