    The Rock Journalist Who Wrote Every Song with Don Fanelli

    It’s Whisp Plays Anything He Wants Wednesday on 108.9 The Hawk, which means Whisp Turlington has seized full control of the playlist, threatened Val Verde with multiple Tormado warnings, and dedicated emotionally devastating Mike + The Mechanics to anyone with a dead dad. This week, legendary rock journalist Guy Trinkler drops by the Rock & Roll RV to promote his new self-published memoir, Songs, a 655-page list of songs he either helped write, inspired, or assumes were probably about him. Along the way, Guy reveals his role in destroying The Eagles, Billy Joel’s sausage-finger era, Peter Gabriel’s jet ski lifestyle, Pete Townsend’s gibberish problem, and the real courtroom strategy behind Nirvana’s “Come As You Are.” Don Fanelli joins 108.9 The Hawk as Guy Trinkler, a rock journalist so committed to access that he disguises himself, follows musicians for years, and sees every side of every issue until there are no opinions left, only footnotes. He has been everywhere, seen everything, written almost none of it clearly, and somehow survived being pushed out of an ice hole by a narwhal. Also on this week’s broadcast: The Val Verde Fire Department Calendar Reveal Party. Whisp reports back from a heroic night of emergency services, novelty mugs, and the undeniable July power of Jerry July.Art Spart Traffic. Art is supposed to report on road conditions, but he is still trapped inside the Deku Tree after 1,800 hours of Ocarina of Time and somehow has 23,000 Twitch subscribers.Big Truck Hawkcasts from Hog Street. Big Truck checks in from lane three at the grand opening of the Hog Street Big Rig Wash and Prayer Tunnel, where local truckers can receive a wax, a blessing, a shower, and possibly a baby bird burrito.

    Classic Hawk - Don Valley Overnights with James Adomian

    Welcome to CLASSIC HAWK - a weekly look back at the greatest broadcasts in 108.9 The Hawk history. Originally released on September 30, 2024, this episode brought legendary radio DJ Don Valley, played by James Adomian, into the Hawk universe for a rare and possibly medically inadvisable morning appearance. Due to a 5am misfire from sister station 8888 ValleyNewsRadio, Don Valley has to extend his overnight shift on 108.9 The Hawk and suddenly finds himself awake at 6am, which is not where an overnight radio legend is meant to live. Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock check in as Don Valley brings decades of radio gravity, sleep deprivation, and suspiciously deep broadcast wisdom into the Hawknest.

    Other Anthony with Rob Lathan

    108.9 The Hawk is broadcasting live from the annual Val Verde Car, Boat and Horse Expo, a beloved local tradition that began in 1884 as a horse show, became a boat show through violence, and eventually swallowed the auto show because Val Verde can only support so many chuds in one room. This week, Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock welcome Other Anthony from Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, who is supposedly here to promote the hit Amazon Prime series, except he does not seem to know he was on a show. As far as Other Anthony is concerned, he still works at Rocking Grandma’s Hot Sauce, still reports to an abandoned office full of squirrels, rats, birds of prey, and black mold, and is simply visiting Val Verde to source peppers and maybe find a boat, car, horse, or horse trailer to live in. Rob Lathan joins 108.9 The Hawk as Other Anthony, assistant procurement and sourcing manager for Rockin’ Grandma’s Hot Sauce, a man with severe brain fog, questionable workplace access, and a deep spiritual bond with Cinnamon, the mascot for Flenderson’s Horse Bags. Also on this week’s broadcast: The Val Verde Car, Boat and Horse Expo. Whisp and Geoff report live from the Civic Center, surrounded by Cinnamon the horse, Lady Beauregard the steamboat, Baby Bugatti, Turbo Grandpa, toy boats for smart rats, and horses named Daisy Belle, Willow, Rosie June and more.Art Spart Traffic. Art is still trapped inside the Deku Tree in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, now with 1.5 million Twitch subscribers and a very specific audience for Link’s ass.Cinnamon Tries Hot Sauce. Other Anthony offers his favorite Rockin’ Grandma’s sweet sauce to Cinnamon, which goes poorly for everyone except the concept of animal consent. Listen. Subscribe.

    Classic Hawk - Front Yard Gundam with Aaron Burdette

    Welcome to CLASSIC HAWK - a weekly look back at the greatest broadcasts in 108.9 The Hawk history. Originally released on September 23, 2024, this episode introduced listeners to Dan Luis Obispo, played by Aaron Burdette, and one of the most important questions in Val Verde residential history: can a man build a giant Gundam in his front yard and still technically be a good neighbor? Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock welcome Dan Luis Obispo into the Rock & Roll RV to discuss his ongoing fights with his neighbors and Val Verde City Council over Clarita, the giant Gundam he built outside his home. Along the way, Dan calls out his enemies in Val Verde Springs, Whisp remembers a visit to Mojitostownship Resort, and the entire town is forced to ask whether property rights include huge anime battle armor.

  6. The George Lucas Jeans Museum

    The George Lucas Jeans Museum

    Val Verde Fashion Week hits town, which means the convention center basement is once again full of five-wolf shirts, novelty a-hole apparel, and enough all-over prints to blind a horse. From there, Whisp and Geoff spiral into a deeply cursed roundup of mugs from Juggggs Mug Emporium, and a live remote from Uncle Petruccio’s where Big Truck nearly floats to Mount Hetfield on pure helium meat. The real centerpiece, though, is George Lucas. Specifically, George Lucas in head-to-toe denim. There is no guest. There is only judgment. Also on this week’s broadcast: Shooter’s Bar & Buffet massacre, again. The band SuperSpreader is gunned down at Shooter’s, prompting a discussion of whether the Shooter’s staff is better trained than the Val Verde Police Department. They are.You’re Ruining Cinema.

    The Spirit of The Doors with Joe Wengert

    DoorsCon26 hits Val Verde, which means the convention center is packed with shirtless Jim Morrison freaks, suspicious Ray Manzarek lookalikes, and exactly one self-declared Doors legacy act. Enter Ed Zed, frontman of The Windows, who insists he is not running a tribute band. He is preserving the spirit of The Doors through legal gray areas, naked vocals, and a deeply troubling origin story involving Robbie Krieger, Benedict Canyon, and a Toyota Yaris. Joe Wengert, co-creator of the upcoming Prime Video animated series Kevin, joins the show as Ed Zed, a man so committed to continuing The Doors’ legacy that he has replaced the music, the lyrics, and most of the band with songs like “Haircuts,” “Rubber Band,” “Open Your Third Eye,” and “Bug Spray.” Things only get worse when Robbie Krieger calls in, his dog is somehow still on a ventilator, and Ed Zed continues insisting this is all just family business. Also on this week’s broadcast: Bob Seger Sports Jersey Facts becomes an accidental new Hawk institution before anyone can stop it.Art Spart tries to give traffic but gets derailed by Ocarina of Time again!Geoff delivers an extremely serious taxonomy of cover bands, tribute bands, and legacy bands, complete with side trips to Guns and Boars and Thin Dizzy.DoorsCon merch goes fully off the rails at Juggggs Mug Emporium, including mugs for Ray Manzarek, Lizard Ting, and one extremely hostile official convention design.

    Jury Duty 2: That’s Just What We Do with Chris Kula Chris Kula, writer and executive producer of Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat stops by the Whisp Turlington Morning Show to promote the show, and immediately finds himself trapped in the one press appearance in America where the hosts are more interested in Freevee’s death, Bosch’s late night habits, and whether anyone under 30 remembers UCB sketches. Whisp and Geoff spend most of the interview trying to understand the premise, refusing to understand the premise, and then actively making the premise worse. That’s just what we do. Also on this week’s broadcast: Bon Iver at Val Mart Amphitheater. Whisp gives Bon Iver a fifteenth chance and gets rewarded with Sufjan Stevens in the ribs, Joanna Newsom on harp, and a renewed appreciation for Foreigner.Billy Joel Vape Cigars. When you want to be double the a*****e and double the fun, light up the only vape cigar with real flame in it.Traffic with Art Spart.
