“It’s like, whoa, was that Jay Leno? No. It was George Lucas.”

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 upcomin...

“Just a bunch of toilet paper with nothing on it. That’s how serious he’s taking this show.”

“Clare, we have a no number two rule in the Rock & Roll RV.”

All Aboard The Val Verde Crazy Train with Chandler Dean Val Verde's $15 billion transit miracle has 13 riders, zero credibility, and one communications director who really should not be allowed near a microphone. Stephen Ribble arrived at the Rock & Roll RV to pitch the Val Verde Crazy Train to a skeptical public. He came prepared with talking points. He left under police escort, seated in an oversized rocking chair, having admitted to a pattern of automobile-related incidents that spans at lea...

“Old man, take a look at my rock. I’m a lot like you.”

Classic Hawk - Long Live Ma Sharney Welcome back to Classic Hawk. Today’s Episode: LONG LIVE MA SHARNEY Original airdate: 2023-03-27 Ma Sharney is dead. And in Val Verde, that does not mean peace. It means a Sharney’s conclave happening at Val Verde's favorite dining chain. In this blast of Val Verde canon, the town is forced to confront one of its oldest traditions: with Ma Sharney gone, a new Ma Sharney must be elected. Who will it be? Who is worthy to carry the Ma Sharney crown and remin...

“Rules are kind of like your face, Golf. Made to be broke.”

Welcome back to Hawk Rock Talk: Classic Albums Geoff “The Actual Man” Garlock and Jason Gore go deep on one of the most CLASSIC albums in CLASSIC rock history. This week: the 1971 masterpiece that launched Jethro Tull into the stratosphere - "Aqualung." British blues-flute-rock. Concept-adjacent theology. Acoustic guitars in weird time signatures. And yes, a completely irresponsible number of Ian Anderson flute grunts. How many flute grunts will happen over the course ...

The Murder & Sinkhole Capital of the World Val Verde did it again. Producer Scotty has UPDATED THE OPEN and made it official: we have retained our rightful title as the Murder Capital of the World. And in a coordinated civic achievement, we have also been crowned the Sinkhole Capital of the World. The earth continues to open. We continue to broadcast. It’s a standard morning inside the Rock & Roll RV. Whisp is doing impressions. Geoff is fielding complaints from the Val Verde Police Department...

Whisp Turlington is salty. And for once, it’s not because Bastrd AI is generating “Hogan’s Heroes” deepfake erotica. No. Today, the Val Verde City Council has declared war on Turlington Manor (the dead mall that Whisp lives in), and they’re doing it the only way Val Verde knows how: Through zoning. A new councilman, Edmund Sullivan (Eric Cunningham), comes into the Rock & Roll RV to explain why Whisp’s home has been rezoned into a high-density industrial zone… which means Captain D’s...

The Radioverse awaits.

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 We...

Another morning on 108.9 The Hawk, and the Val Verde Radio Wars grind on… Unresolved, undignified, and somehow wetter than ever.
