It’s Fun Drop Wednesday on 108.9 The Hawk, and Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock welcome Pittsburgh rock promoter Jack Lundy (played by comedian Joe Kwaczala) — and he just won’t stop remembering.

From Cream to Chicago, The Doors to The Bee Gees, Jack can’t resist reminiscing about every band that ever existed, while Geoff and Whisp try to keep the show together, Scotty drops Napoleon Dynamite quotes, breaking the standing “No Drops From Napoleon Dynamite” rule!

• Mystery Sound: Whisp tries to distract Jack with an old-fashioned game of Mystery Sound
• Greg Lemonsour Meltdown: The Hawk’s dusty-groove music director joins in, only to be completely steamrolled by Lundy’s endless roll call of rock legends.
• Art Spart’s Traffic Report: Val Verde’s favorite traffic reporter tries to get through his segment, but Jack hijacks it to talk about Traffic (the band).

It’s All-Request Wednesday on 108.9 The Hawk!

Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock open up the request lines and yell about some of the things bothering them this morning - you know, like every morning radio show. 

• An in-depth debate about the infamous Dogboy at the Shartlesburg State Fair (and whether his paws were sanitary enough to handle funnel cakes).
• Geoff attempts a spot-on Dogboy impression (debatable).
• A detour into Hannity & Colmes (…or was it Pete Holmes?) morning radio theater.
• Sticky’s Barbecue Shack mysteriously burns down mid-broadcast while Jason is supposed to be live on-site.
• Business Roundup returns: Full-O-Water Gas Station, Twozy Onesie vs Onesie Twozy, The Ache Shack (no breathing hole!), and Billy Idol’s Bounce Weddings — yes, Billy Idol might personally set up your bounce house wedding and eat your hors d’oeuvres.
• Plus: Good Geoff Facts finally gets its own sounder, we discover what a Fog Hat might look like.

Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock welcome their longtime friend Bo Merman — Val Verde’s legendary Rock & Roll Lifeguard — played by comedian Jon Gabrus.

Bo shares outrageous stories from decades guarding Val Verde’s pools, rivers, and hot tubs:

• Gene Simmons getting his tongue stuck in a pool filter
• Jimmy Buffett blasting angel dust at the Val Verde Community Pool
• Michael McDonald cannonballing into… questionable waters.
• Iman destroying Bo in a poolside fight.
• The birth of USA’s “Renegade” after Lorenzo Lamas drunkenly crashed a motorcycle poolside
• Forgotten cult VHS classics like Boogles 

Plus: the Hawk crew battles over who’s the greatest Southern Rock band of all time, unpacks Molly Hatchet’s hive mind, and previews this year’s mysterious Rocktober Prize Package! And two new PSA’s from Geoff Garlock and Major Dad.

This week, Geoff and Whisp reveal the winner of 108.9 The Hawk’s “DJ For A Day Contest,” Dutch Swanson (Matt Gourley), a 104-year-old Val Verde resident, WWII vet, and Judy Blume’s alleged ghostwriter (?!)

• Contest Winner Gone Wild: Dutch thinks he’s won cash, gift cards, or at least a rain stick for the Tool & Die Festival. Instead, he’s handed the mic. 
• Judy Blume Confessions: Dutch claims authorship of Super Fudge, Forever, and Winds of War. According to him, there are “no atheists in foxholes—or in a Scottsdale motel room with Judy Blume.
• Weather Report (Sort Of): Instead of saying “cold,” Dutch unleashes a rant about foxholes, mutton chops, and Sideburns Festivals.
• Community Calendar: Tinker Tailor Soldier Pie eating contest, the canceled Goatee Fest and more!
• Name That Director – 90s Edition!

Plus, payola scams, Rascal Flatts debates, a PSA from Geoff and a man with a tortoise-shell carapace for half a body.

Actor/comedian Matt Hobby (Young Sheldon) stops by the Rock & Roll RV as entrepreneur Kai Fanning to pitch his bizarre luxury compound, Stay Living—a place that promises to be Safe, Thrilling, Affordable… and You Never Leave.

Geoff and Whisp dig into Kai Fanning’s plans for:

• Muscle-bound Bichon Frises patrolling behind barbed-wire fences
• An 800-lane bowling alley and four-story arcade
• A Riverboat Casino (pending Val Verde’s mysterious ballot measure S7A43)
• Raising Cane’s chicken fingers as the official food of the complex
• And the true meaning behind “You Never Leave”

Also, Sharon Stone gossip, Gordon Ramsay’s lost reality show Hell Nightmare, the forgotten ’90s Jeremy Piven film Asshouse, David Lee Roth’s cryptocurrency empire, why Whisp will never fund a GoFundMe, and even the mysterious identity of El Fornado.

Originally Aired: 7/11/22

Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock welcome a very special guest: Simon Corunne, the frazzled owner of Val Verde Pet Rescue (played by John Gemberling). Simon’s got some big problems on his hands—and he’s hoping The Hawk can help.

Meanwhile, Jason Gore checks in live from the grand opening of Buster Poindexter’s Hot Hot Hot Springs. Keanu Reeves swings by to promote his latest romantic comedy, Hey Girl, It’s Me. And yes, Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson treats listeners to a preview of brand-new Tull material.

But that’s not all—because we’ve got one burning question for you: Who is Mark Davidson, and who hit him? Hit play and FIND OUT.

Val Verde’s tenth favorite radio station welcomes comedian Kylie Brakeman to the Hawk airwaves as Randy Bone, owner of BETBONES, the only sportsbook where you can literally lose your bones when your bet goes bad.

From Olive Garden breadstick debates to a bone-powered car meant to solve the energy crisis, Randy Bone proves to be one of Val Verde’s strangest and most visionary “business leaders.” Things get heated when Geoff bets his fibula (and later, a finger) on a friendly game of “Who Said It?”

• A Slayer Gulch water treatment plant boil notice that leads to unexpected Slayer album discourse.
• Spiciest mis-sent texts from Val Verde callers, including one too many involving moms.
• The revelation that Pastor Bone, Randy’s late father, was both a preacher and a drag racer.
• The terrifying yet oddly wholesome vision of the Bonesmobile — a car made entirely of bones, powered by bones, for the children of Val Verde.
• Art Spart gets real with traffic and the fact that school is back in Val Verde, whether you want it or not!
• Kylie on her real-world projects: her one-woman character show Linda Hollywood’s Big Hollywood Night and her podcast Artists on Artists on Artists on Artists.

• Callers desperately try to guess what dog name Jason and Geoff are thinking of.
• A trip through the Community Calendar.
• A very special PSA from Mikki Mackmack.
• Plus, brand-new Hawk sponsors: Sharney’s, Waldo’s Factory Strike, and Fletchies!

Val Verde, strap in. The Boss himself joins Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock for an episode that blows the doors off the very stinky Rock & Roll RV that Geoff lives in. Legendary improviser John Murray becomes Bruce Springsteen, Zooming in live from his legendary album vault to reveal the kind of stories you’ll never hear anywhere else:

• 75 Albums in the Vault: Bruce casually admits he’s been recording nonstop, stockpiling 75+ unreleased albums — including novelty songs (“Baby Bikini”), stomp experiments, rap-country hybrids, and even an all-gum chewing project.
• NebraskaTown the Movie: Bruce explains how he secretly directed his own life story while wearing masks of Scorsese, Lucas, and John Milius.
• Springsteen Covers the ’90s: Hear Love Shack reimagined as a dirge about Reaganomics, and Lisa Loeb’s Stay belted out Born in the U.S.A. style.
• What’s The Nastiest Thing You’ve Done in a Movie Theater: Listeners call in, but Bruce tops them all.
