The Bathroom Boys with Clare O’Kane

Clare O'Kane returns to Val Verde for a homecoming stand at Dingbats, and naturally the conversation immediately veers into Bathroom Boys podcast lore, clink recovery, and whether the Rock & Roll RV’s six-month no-number-two streak can survive the visit. Along the way, Art Spart reports on a catastrophic sandwich spill dividing the town, Hawk Rock News tackles Phil Collins, U2, and Sons of Cream, and Clare absolutely cleans up in a vicious round of What’s That Sound?

Also on this week’s broadcast:
* Finish Geoff The Angry Man’s Complaint. Phones ring on what could be the greatest call-in game in Hawk history.
* Art Spart Traffic. A tipped sandwich truck triggers an all-out Val Verde naming war over subs, hoagies, heroes, grinders, po’boys, bombers, wedgies, and one suspicious Boston outlier.
* Hawk Rock News. The gang tackles Rock Hall nominees, U2’s surprise new record, and the deeply cursed touring phenomenon known as Sons of Cream.
* What’s That Sound? Clare takes on Geoff in a Hawk classic and walks away with the kind of HAWKBUXX victory that can ruin a man’s paycheck.
