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. Art Spart is navigating traffic through roads that may or may not still legally qualify as roads.

Classic Hawk: Springsteen Live At The Verde Dome (with John Murray)
Original Airdate: March 6, 2023
Episode Summary
In this edition of Classic Hawk, we revisit one of the most electrifying live episodes in 108.9 The Hawk history - Springsteen Live At The Verde Dome with guest John Murray. Because Bruce Springsteen definitely visited 108.9 The Hawk. It was DEFINITELY Bruce, wasn’t it?! And who's on drums?!

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:

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?!

Another morning on 108.9 The Hawk, and the Val Verde Radio Wars grind on… Unresolved, undignified, and somehow wetter than ever.
Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock continue broadcasting through pure spite, using Jon Bon Jovi tickets, hostile listener interactions, and wildly irresponsible sponsors as weapons in the never-ending fight against 98.6 The Squirt.

“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)
