The Val Verde Zoning Crisis with Eric Cunningham

2/23/2026
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 Pretzels can legally open inside Whisp’s bedroom. Meanwhile: Intro to Cryptozoology Guest Starring: Eric Cunningham (Night Late, The Kids Tonight Show) Soar Through The Skies of Classic Rock With The Hawk 1089thehawk.compatreon.com/1089thehawk Hosted on Acast.

WOOF IT UP with Will Hines

2/16/2026
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 Weatherman (played by the one and only Will Hines). And why is rocker Steve Winwood roaming Val Verde’s streets like a blue-eyed Terminator?!

Joe Walsh (No Relation) Forces Val Verde to Run (with Dru Johnston)

2/2/2026
“The Whisp Turlington Show” welcomes Joe Walsh — no relation — and Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock immediately lose control of the interview, the studio, and most municipal oversight in Val Verde. What should be a routine guest segment detonates into a full civic event as Joe Walsh (No Relation) outlines the Val Verde Rock & Roll 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Ultra Marathon, and a race philosophy built on early mornings, public bragging, and mechanical bulls used as motivational tools. Meanwhile: • Art Spart returns from a prolonged traffic hiatus • Jimmy One Meal releases a posthumous song called “Shark Sex” and no one asks permission • Jason Gore reigns supreme at 98.6 The Squirt and declares himself the greatest DJ alive • Bloody nipples, nip guards, and weaponized areolas dominate the discourse • Threads is exposed as a scolding platform and Bluesky as a joke museum • A 90s lyrics game confirms that memory is fake and lyrics never mattered Guest Starring: Dru Johnston as Joe Walsh (No Relation) Check out Dru's Substack at https://ivegottheruns.substack.com Become One With The Hawk SubscribeThe signal is everywhere.Join the Rock Battalion:1089thehawk.comSupport the station on Patreon:patreon.com/1089thehawkWatch The Hawk on YouTubeyoutube.com/@1089thehawkFollow us everywhere: Hosted on Acast.

High Vibing With Whisp Turlington (Enya Does NOT Call In)

1/26/2026
Whisp Turlington enters 2026 determined to be “full of light” and permanently high-vibing — a plan that immediately collapses under the weight of Instagram stories, sauce-list politics, Whisp and Geoff’s rival station beef with 98.6 The Squirt, and a catastrophic misunderstanding involving Enya. As Whisp attempts to record the perfect Instagram message from the front seat of his limousine, the broadcast spirals through haunted MTV memories, dead-mall real estate, non-denominational church bands, Farmer Dan’s hell gate, sponsor live reads that absolutely should not be allowed on air, and Whisp’s revelation to Geoff of why Enya is definitely not calling in today.

Val Verde’s airwaves descend into all-out chaos when Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock discover their former co-host Jason Gore is now the number-one morning host on rival station 98.6 The Squirt. As Whisp spirals over Patreon, bonus episodes, horny call-in segments, and the unthinkable success of Staind-based radio, The Hawk fires back with sabotage, mind-powered drones, and a full-scale rebranding that may or may not erase Geoff from the show title entirely. A battle for terrestrial radio supremacy, fought live on air. What to do, what to do.
