Jason Gore Comes Crawling Back
2026/11/02
98.6 The Squirt has fired everybody and gone automated. Now Jason Gore is back at 108.9 The Hawk, asking Whisp and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock for another chance. Can he win back their trust? And how quickly can they send him to a miserable remote? Meanwhile, Big Truck hauls the performers from Kraftwerk Pizza down the Steely Dan Expressway, the boys ask whether Waymo is God, and “Goofs, Spoofs or Troofs” returns with rules nobody understands. Spirit Halloween lands a defense contract, the airport cell phone lot elects a leader, and a library dog’s publishing deal threatens Geoff’s literary ambitions. Plus: Schlarb, the rideshare service that promises never to use GPS, and a very special Old Oyster Day at Food Gulch.

2026/10/26
Emergency Drummer with Matt Moskovciak | 108.9 The Hawk It's Halloween in Val Verde. The goblins are tearing heads off, the Warren Zevon werewolves are furious about their haircuts, and KLOWNHUNTER needs an emergency drummer. Matt Moskovciak (Above Average, The Bilderbergers, Lunch Pitches with Matt & Dru) joins Whisp Turlington and Geoff "The Angry Man" Garlock as Phil Inn, the world's preeminent emergency drummer. He's filled in for rock royalty since the 1960s. Tonight, he's filling in for KLOWNHUNTER. The hosts keep telling him he might die. Apparently, that's just a stock phrase. Also: Giuseppe's Haunted Italian restaurant, the brutal logistics of a "diarrhea gig," Mick Jagger's skinwalker workout regimen, and a rescue attempt by a man who insists you can call him "Batman." After the broadcast, Jason, Geoff, and Matt talk sketch comedy, UCB, Roy "Nickels" Orbison, and playing Jeff Beck's guitars at Jan Hammer's house.

Hawk Rock Talk: Classic Albums: “Strangers In The Night” by UFO
2026/10/19
UFO should have been huge. Jason Gore and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock present an entire live album’s worth of evidence. On this edition of Hawk Rock Talk: Classic Albums, the guys dig into UFO’s classic live album, “Strangers in the Night,” a record packed with Michael Schenker’s melodic guitar work, Phil Mogg’s killer vocals, everything brilliant that was Pete Way, and songs that should have been permanent fixtures on classic rock radio. “Doctor Doctor,” “Rock Bottom”: come on, people. Along the way: the greatest live-album debate, the gamble of Hipgnosis album covers, the studio work behind supposedly live records in the seventies, UFO’s Spinal Tap connection, and Jason’s proposal to replace the podcast with a Strangers in the Night tribute band. Geoff anticipates overwhelming enthusiasm from their wives. Hawk Rock Talk is the rock music companion podcast to 108.9 The Hawk, the comedy podcast about a fictional classic rock radio station.

This AI CEO Wants Your Water with Gil Ozeri
2026/10/12
This AI CEO Wants Your Water with Gil Ozeri Val Verde has too much water. Thankfully, a billionaire has arrived to take it.

Hawk Rock Talk: The Definitive Unflappable List of Pink Floyd Records
2026/09/14
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
2026/09/07
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.
