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.While you’re getting all your Black Friday junk, why don’t you also help out you favorite classic rock radio station!Subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, YouTube — or whatever app you use.

The dust has barely settled in Verde Park — and the souls (not deaths, legally) are still being counted.
