Bo Merman: Rock & Roll Lifeguard with Jon Gabrus

Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock welcome their longtime friend Bo Merman — Val Verde’s legendary Rock & Roll Lifeguard — played by comedian Jon Gabrus.

Bo shares outrageous stories from decades guarding Val Verde’s pools, rivers, and hot tubs:

• Gene Simmons getting his tongue stuck in a pool filter
• Jimmy Buffett blasting angel dust at the Val Verde Community Pool
• Michael McDonald cannonballing into… questionable waters.
• Iman destroying Bo in a poolside fight.
• The birth of USA’s “Renegade” after Lorenzo Lamas drunkenly crashed a motorcycle poolside
• Forgotten cult VHS classics like Boogles 

Plus: the Hawk crew battles over who’s the greatest Southern Rock band of all time, unpacks Molly Hatchet’s hive mind, and previews this year’s mysterious Rocktober Prize Package! And two new PSA’s from Geoff Garlock and Major Dad.

Guest Starring: Jon Gabrus (Action Boyz, Staying Alive with Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally)
