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.
