Joe Walsh (No Relation) Forces Val Verde to Run (with Dru Johnston)
2026/02/02
“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 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube — wherever you listen.

High Vibing With Whisp Turlington (Enya Does NOT Call In)
2026/01/26
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.

Return To Greatness
2026/01/19
“The Whisp Turlington Show” has returned and Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock declare a “Return to Greatness” across Val Verde — complete with 3D billboards, Genesis mega-blocks, and a townwide chemical-job apocalypse. Big Truck reports live from Verde Chemical, where workers are leaving with purple suits, clown smiles, and possibly extra limbs, while sponsors like Food Gulch, Eggsland, and Trunks struggle to survive the new Hawk economy. Meanwhile: • MTV VJs are debated • Tony Banks calls in from the studio • Phil Collins explains why he can’t drum • 98.6 The Squirt is declared an enemy of the state This isn’t just a radio show — it’s the beginning of The Hawk’s new era.

2026/01/12
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.

Happy Hawksgiving, everyone!

Happy Styxgiving
2025/11/24
It’s Thanksgiving in Val Verde, and while the rest of the station’s staff takes the day off, Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock are stuck doing a full-day broadcast — turkey cooker under Art Spart’s board, sponsored by Bert’s Funeral Flowers. Everything’s normal until a familiar blonde head appears on the Hawk’s ring camera: Tommy Shaw from Styx. Before they can hit the delay, Tommy locks the station gates and holds the station hostage, demanding they play Kilroy Was Here in full — claiming it’s “the real Thanksgiving record.” What follows is a broadcast filled with stuffing, softcore cinema, Styx lore and 108.9 The Hawk’s most festive hostage situation yet.

Whisp defends the festival, claiming the “482 deaths” were actually “souls captured and sent home courtesy of Whisp Turlington.”John Mellencamp stops by to explain his time working the funnel cake stand — and why you should never finger John Mellencamp.Geoff delivers a Good Rock Fact about Alfred Hitchcock nearly directing a Peter Gabriel movie.Whisp reveals his new liquor line, Turlington Cognacs, co-founded with George Clooney.Geoff and Whisp salute the ending of Greg Lemonsour's legendary podcast, "WTDG."There’s confusion, regret, and a Zamboni that somehow killed both people and animatronic bears.
