This week, Geoff and Whisp reveal the winner of 108.9 The Hawk’s “DJ For A Day Contest,” Dutch Swanson (Matt Gourley), a 104-year-old Val Verde resident, WWII vet, and Judy Blume’s alleged ghostwriter (?!)


  • Contest Winner Gone Wild: Dutch thinks he’s won cash, gift cards, or at least a rain stick for the Tool & Die Festival. Instead, he’s handed the mic. 
  • Judy Blume Confessions: Dutch claims authorship of Super Fudge, Forever, and Winds of War. According to him, there are “no atheists in foxholes—or in a Scottsdale motel room with Judy Blume.
  • Weather Report (Sort Of): Instead of saying “cold,” Dutch unleashes a rant about foxholes, mutton chops, and Sideburns Festivals.
  • Community Calendar: Tinker Tailor Soldier Pie eating contest, the canceled Goatee Fest and more!
  • Name That Director – 90s Edition!


Plus, payola scams, Rascal Flatts debates, a PSA from Geoff and a man with a tortoise-shell carapace for half a body.
