108.9 The Hawk with Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock
High Vibing With Whisp Turlington (Enya Does NOT Call In)
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.
