CLASSIC HAWK: The Season One Finale

Originally aired: May 2, 2022

Welcome to CLASSIC HAWK — a weekly look back at the greatest broadcasts in 108.9 The Hawk history.

It was here — the mind-bending conclusion to Season One of 108.9 The Hawk.

Jason. Geoff. Whisp. Scotty. Mikki. Art. Krawg.

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 it all came to a head in Val Verde.

Relive it.

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?!

This week! LOST AT SEA!

Originally aired: Jan 31, 2022

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.

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

Welcome to Val Verde.

Welcome to 108.9 The Hawk. 🦅

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“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)

Welcome to Val Verde.

Welcome to 108.9 The Hawk. 🦅

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.
