This AI CEO Wants Your Water with Gil Ozeri Val Verde has too much water. Thankfully, a billionaire has arrived to take it. Gil Ozeri returns for his second appearance on 108.9 The Hawk as Sario Marlon, CEO of Graft AI, with plans for a ten-million-square-foot data center near the Woodstock ’99 Simulation and the children’s hospital. He’s promising jobs, lower taxes, and a bright future for every resident who survives it. Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock meet Graft’s AI assistant Stephanie, explore a Del Taco sponsorship, and open the phone lines to name the new facility. There’s also glowing wastewater, an AI film and art festival, and two suspiciously agreeable replacements for your favorite morning hosts. Sario’s publicist would really appreciate it if everyone stopped asking questions. Plus: Sabrina’s Carpenters, Tired John, Booger’s House of Chill Repute, and a Hawk Interview with Gil about making comedy while Hollywood crumbles, social media algorithms, Good Science, and his Silly Gilly improv show at Largo.

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.

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. 108.9 The Hawk.

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.
