## Resource

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: Whisp and Geoff debate whether “Truth Social” proves things are getting better (spoiler: bread lines are longer) Art Spart reveals he’s now teaching  Intro to Cryptozoology  at Val Verde Community College “Larfs and Barfs” returns to calm Whisp down (it almost works)  Guest Starring: Eric Cunningham (Night Late, The Kids Tonight Show) Soar Through The Skies of Classic Rock With The Hawk Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube — wherever you listen.
