DJ For A Day with Matt Gourley
Matt Gourley Is Dutch Swanson — 104 Years, 8 Wars, and Now Your DJ
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.

Jason Gore (00:47)
Numero uno, Lin Electric Light Orchestra.
Geoff Garlock (00:51)
proxy best friend in the world. It's he was drinking cognac by your pool, and he was like he was in the car I'm sure
Jason Gore (00:52)
By proxy, best friend, entire world.
Yep. And then we brought out new guy, new guy, but not like a young guy. Nick Lowe started hanging out with us last night. And this guy loves the throwdown. We went to the new Flappers Casino. It is the second Flappers Casino in Val Verde. It is smaller.
Geoff Garlock (01:05)
you
my gosh.
smaller. I
usually open a second casino you're like let's get bigger and better but they were like you know what let's make it a little tighter video slots are like
Jason Gore (01:21)
Nope. ⁓
my God, they're so thin. I couldn't keep Nick away. Nick was like, I'm to over here on the the slots. I'm like, we have to keep moving.
Geoff Garlock (01:33)
my god I was like Nick Nolte drank too much Cock-Duck if that's what he sounds like but that was Nick Lowe. of course.
Jason Gore (01:35)
my God. Nolte was arrested again.
Nolte, if you're listening at the Val Verde Police Department this morning, I am not bailing you out again. that's Yep. Yep. I'm by the sea. Yeah. ⁓
Geoff Garlock (01:45)
But they are selling shirts with his muck shot already on the Val Verde boardwalk. It's fantastic
Yeah, I bought
a Nick Nolte mug shot shirt. And me.
Jason Gore (02:00)
Just for me.
my god. Hey, we're having a great time here on the Jep and with show I am Whisp Turlington. Good morning
Geoff Garlock (02:07)
And I am Geoff the Angry Man Galack and I'm having a great morning because I actually been doing good each hour. Each hour you've been starting to go, I apologize. Six o'clock hour, seven o'clock hour, eight o'clock. And I was just like, I tucked in around 430 last done with our shift. Yeah, yeah, no, no.
Jason Gore (02:14)
Really? I am, I mean, come on, look at this. Look at this. This is...
Here in the studio, which is, you know,
the rock and roll RV. And, ⁓ you're living in it again.
Geoff Garlock (02:30)
I I
pulled up my ol' Spider-Man sleeping bag. Cause of course my Mork and Mindy sleeping bag is totally worn out. And the raccoons got to that one, so let's not get into it. And I just tucked in as the shows just kept rolling through the night and it was like, I don't need my white noise machine, I'm just gonna sleep like a baby. Knowing that my good friend Wisp is not out at a second flapper's casino, getting hammered before the show.
Jason Gore (02:39)
Totally worn out. I don't want to ask any questions on that one. So, big fans!
Yeah, we had done.
hammered before this show. That's what it's doing. I could always use a little more wine. Over here, Scotty, our producer over there behind the glass, letting you know a little hair of the dog could really help me out this morning. needed
Geoff Garlock (02:59)
Abber.
⁓
I got it.
I'm so glad we put that in on Tap now.
if they released the video game Tapper, if they re-released that, but it was Ed Kowalczyk's Tapper.
Jason Gore (03:19)
⁓ please.
And Koalchick from live. He's just running around, little bald head, little rat tail. Yep.
Geoff Garlock (03:25)
Cause of course, as we all know in the eighties, there was a video game called Tapper that they realized,
why do we have a game where we're serving beer that children are playing? So they changed into root beer Tapper. But I think for the modern kids and I'm talking to modern kids on Tik Tok, they would definitely want Ed Kowalczyk from Lives Tapper.
Jason Gore (03:34)
Yeah. Yeah.
There we go.
We got to go to the news. All the news you can use for the news you could lose. It's news time. I want to wait for nine. The heart breaking news. And we have our own Jason Gore down at Glockenspiel Park. Of course, Val Verde's number one amusement park.
Geoff Garlock (03:42)
my god.
Jason Gore (04:00)
⁓ in tourist attraction here in the Greater Verde area. it's glock.
Geoff Garlock (04:06)
Wild Things
water park is giving a run for its money even though it's owned by the same people.
Jason Gore (04:08)
And it really is.
Same people, but you know, ⁓ competition with is competition. Good Lord, Scotty, where is that wine? I need it to like process everything up here. But of course, it's Glock days down at the park the end of summer. we do have a norovirus outbreak. Let's go down to the park. Jason Gore, are you with us?
Geoff Garlock (04:17)
Get that goddamn wine over here.
boy.
Jason Gore (04:34)
Hey guys, ⁓ yeah, I'm standing outside of the boondock Saint's experience. It is the ⁓ boondock Saint's experience. Kind of like, you know, when you go to Disney and it's the Indiana Jones experience.
Geoff Garlock (04:42)
⁓
Exactly, this
is our Waterworld stunt show. But instead of course with Val Verde's favorite movie, because we are a bunch of mouth breathing chuds here, but we just cannot get enough Boondock Saints.
Jason Gore (04:52)
Yes, yes, 100%.
So many.
So many ⁓ but they're okay. It's bad It is bad down here because one thing that they tell you at the boondock saint experience is to touch everything Touch everything it's on the posters. You see them all over the streets. You see them up and down hog street. It says touch everything the boondock saint experience is
Geoff Garlock (05:14)
my god.
RNA sunglasses, wrap around, you better touch them. Leather dusters, touch them. Guns that you're holding sideways, touch the hell out of them. And everyone's touching.
Jason Gore (05:27)
Touch them, touch them. You gotta touch those dusters. And that's...
Touch touch the hell
and everyone's touching and everyone's getting norovirus And you know what? I mean, I don't know if the park is No, no, no, i'm okay i'm okay. I don't know if the park It's at allergies is that allergies Jason? No, it's not. Yeah, it's allergies guys. I'm fine. I didn't go in there. I didn't touch a thing ⁓ but I will say this glockenspiel park
Geoff Garlock (05:39)
boy.
boy, here we go.
Just allergies, I'm assuming. Just you're gonna take- are you gonna pull that, Jason?
Jason Gore (06:03)
Got maybe, you know... ⁓
I don't want to say it's nefarious or anything like that, but they're cashing in a little bit on this because tickets today are three for one. And this place, that's a real man. Head on down to Glockenspiel pond and odd. Let's see. ⁓ nine eleven on one of eight point nine. The Hawk. Maybe we get out of here. We go down there and touch some dusters. If you know what I mean, guys, please don't. It is awful down here. I'll check in with you here in a little bit. All right. He sounds OK. He sounds good.
Geoff Garlock (06:16)
that's a good deal.
Wiss, maybe we should go down with your good friend Nick Lowe.
HAHAHA!
boy. I'm gonna tell you something. He sounds
good. It's definitely just allergies.
Jason Gore (06:42)
I'm like, flow nays, Jason. Just take flow, just squirt it up there. Just squirt it up there.
Geoff Garlock (06:44)
Gotta get some Flonase if you're puking in your mouth a little. Just squirt it up your
nose. Come on. We of course are not sponsored by Flonase today. They took away their sponsorship. God, I wish.
Jason Gore (06:53)
God, wish God, wish we
were because we do have a lot of sponsors. Of course, I'm flipping the bill here. And I thought, you know, if I'm flipping the bill. And I'm paying for things we got to do tons of contests down here at one of 8.9. We got to we got to everybody excited about the 10th rated radio station in Val Verde.
Geoff Garlock (07:04)
huh.
Jason Gore (07:16)
Used to be number one. You talked to us four months ago. We were the number one station number Number one morning show. Now we're 10 as a station, 25 as a morning show. We dropped five overnight.
Geoff Garlock (07:22)
Numero uno.
I gotta say though, the contest has given the town buzz and I think this winner... I gotta say? Yeah, it is an I gotta say segment.
Jason Gore (07:35)
Wait to say, wait, wait, wait, wait, is this a I gotta say? Okay, this isn't
I gotta say, get it ready Scotty, here we go.
Geoff Garlock (07:44)
Look, I gotta say, our ratings are in the dumper, but I think they're gonna be in the pumper because of all of these contests, especially when you see who we got coming up, because this one is gonna turn it around and make you think, hey, classic rock, that's where it's at, and more so, at the Hawk. I just had to say that.
Jason Gore (08:06)
Don't ever do that again. Don't ever. Dumper pumper. Please never, ever rhyme those again on air. This'll be. ⁓ God. One of the pumper. That's a great shirt. I'd wear that, but hearing it from you. Awful. ⁓ what? That was his slogan.
Geoff Garlock (08:08)
In the pumper.
I'm not gonna lie, I saw that at Val Verde Boardwalk. It said one in the dumper, one in the pumper. But then it just a picture of President Biden on it and it didn't make any sense to me.
Was it?
Jason Gore (08:28)
That was his
sex slogan. My good best friend in the entire world, President Biden. He would be like, when we can do one in the dumper, one in the pumper. And I'm like, what the hell are you talking about? I wish Nick Lowe were here making everything difficult. but I do. We got a brand new contest happening here on the air. And we're really excited. I was like.
Geoff Garlock (08:36)
my god, mailed it, mailed it with this. ⁓
Jason Gore (08:55)
Jesus Christ, Scotty, what am I doing? This is the bed? What am I opening a law firm? Am I starting a hospital? We gotta get him in here. ⁓ wrong music, Scotty. Great contest.
Geoff Garlock (08:58)
Jeez, all right, go with it. I can see our guys waiting. We gotta get this guy in, because he is ready.
Jason Gore (09:09)
wanna be a 108.9 the Hawk DJ and you all sent in your things. put in your your little raffle cards at every Val Mart or a food gulch in the greater Val Verde area. And we do have a winner, ladies and gentlemen, Dutch Swanson.
Matt (09:28)
And then I
told him, if I'm going down to the Tool and Die Festival, I don't give a goddamn if they're doing a drum circle, I'm bringing my rain stick.
Jason Gore (09:38)
Hey Dutch
Dutch Dutch where you're on the air buddy. You're on the other. You're on the air. The lights it says on air you won. Hey, hey. ⁓ it's almost as good as money. a lot. ⁓

Jason Gore (09:57)
We could, we could really dig one of those up. Scotty, could you check the promo closet for the Ann Taylor loft? No, you are a DJ for the day. Well, for an hour. You are a radio DJ, sir. I'm, I'm Wisp Turlington and this is my dumper pumper.
Geoff Garlock (09:58)
Scotty, do we have any more those gift vouchers for Aunt Taylor Loft? Or just for chess king?
Matt (10:02)
⁓ boy.
A what now? A disc jockey? ⁓
Geoff Garlock (10:11)
Radio DJ. I'm Geoff the Anger Man Garlak. How you doing today?
Matt (10:15)
Why,
okay. All right, great. What do I do? How do I, who are you?
Jason Gore (10:19)
You you sit down sit.
I am Wisp Turlington. We literally just went over there. He's and he gets angry. He's not specifically yet. He's not but this bed makes me angry.
Geoff Garlock (10:22)
I am Geoff the Angry Man Garlak Dutch. I'm not angry, I'm just angry at just the world and it's more of a character that... Look, look,
Matt (10:27)
Why is he angry at me?
Geoff Garlock (10:35)
this is... ⁓ Jesus Christ Scotty, what are we doing here?
Jason Gore (10:38)
Go ahead and kill it, Scotty.
Give me something rock. Okay. my God, please, please. You are a DJ now. Yeah. Yeah.
Matt (10:40)
Can I talk about the Tool and Die Festival?
Geoff Garlock (10:43)
my... We were gonna be talking about that in the next half hour in our community calendar, but I mean, we can
always talk about the Tool and Die Festival, of course!
Matt (10:49)
Yeah.
Jason Gore (10:51)
You
Matt (10:51)
Well, yeah. Well, I guess when I was just waist deep in the muck in the Ardennes forest in WWII, I realized I'd take anything other than that. So DJ sounds as good as anything else, I guess. Having survived that when you know a lot of my brothers didn't. No.
Jason Gore (10:51)
Dutch. Why did you want to be a DJ? ⁓
World War II. Okay.
No, they did not. And I,
Geoff Garlock (11:14)
God,
Jason Gore (11:14)
I respect
Geoff Garlock (11:15)
we respect the troops. It's not just Wiss, we both respect the troops here.
Jason Gore (11:16)
your service and I respect the troops. ⁓ It's a little bit more just me than him. I will say that he's a real dumper pumper. If you know what I mean. I've been saying that I have been saying that for years that this guy got a pink over there.
Matt (11:17)
Yeah
Geoff Garlock (11:23)
Don't throw me under the bus here, Wisp. I really respect the troops. Don't you worry. No, I ain't no, what? ⁓ God, I see we're gonna
Matt (11:26)
You're a pinko, huh? Geoff, you're... Uh-oh. Uh-oh. He looks like it.
Geoff Garlock (11:33)
get teamed up on over here. Be, be we.
Matt (11:34)
He looks like it. He does.
Jason Gore (11:34)
He does look like a pinko. my God. So it's
so good to have you here. Dutch Swanson. know, you've been a Val Verde resident for, so many years. I guess when you were in that muck in WWII, were you like, God, please plot me out of this mud when it'll make a sound and carry my little damaged body back to Val Verde. Is that what you thought in the muck?
Matt (11:51)
Yeah... Yeah...
They say there are no atheists in foxholes, but there are agnostics. And so I wasn't screaming, God, help me, I was screaming. God, are you there? It's me, Margaret, basically. I don't know, are you there? Are you there? Because there sure was a lot of noise and a lot of guns. Yeah, you got a question, mad man?
Jason Gore (12:10)
No, I scream. I scream that all the time.
Geoff Garlock (12:18)
the angry man. So are you? I'm now I'm just wondering was that book based off of you because
Matt (12:23)
Yeah,
I had a ghostwriter. name was Judy and she went, she and I had a real run. Let me tell you that much. went, yeah.
Geoff Garlock (12:27)
Mrs. Bloom.
Jason Gore (12:31)
Wait, are you claiming
all of the Judy Blume books is yours?
Matt (12:35)
Yeah, the good ones Yeah, and and especially forever the one for adults boy, that's basically that's basically true account of our time together
Jason Gore (12:37)
The good ones, so we're talking like Super Fudge. Love Super Fudge. yeah, now we're talking.
Geoff Garlock (12:38)
⁓ so-
ho
Jason Gore (12:50)
Wait, so that's you and Bloom.
Geoff Garlock (12:52)
So this wasn't just a working relationship you had, Bloom. This was a...
Matt (12:52)
Yep.
Jason Gore (12:55)
Wow.
Matt (12:55)
It's me and
Bloom and it's me in Bloom, if you know what I'm talking about. And one in the pumper and two in the dumper. I don't know how it works, but we made it work. There's no atheists in foxholes or in the bed with Judy Bloom either. Those are the two life-forming experiences for me. They were formative, they were life-altering, and I've never been the same man since being in the foxhole in the Battle of the Bulge or being in that motel double bed.
Jason Gore (12:59)
⁓ yeah.
Geoff Garlock (12:59)
Hello.
See,
I told you this was a saying. This is a-
Jason Gore (13:05)
Well, well.
Duh.
Matt (13:25)
and where were we? were in ⁓ Scottsdale, Arizona and we were there for weeks, no air conditioning.
Jason Gore (13:25)
⁓
⁓ God, have you? my God.
⁓ you don't need it because you just sweat so much. All the sweat cools you down. That's God's air conditioning when it comes to dumping and pumping, if you know what I mean.
Matt (13:37)
⁓ my God. ⁓ yeah, I guess
there are no atheists in the hotel room with Judy Blume.
Jason Gore (13:49)
That's a shirt. Scotty, go ahead. We're gonna put that down on the the bot on the boardwalk. ⁓ my God. Well, it's very exciting.
Geoff Garlock (13:50)
That is a shirt, we gotta put that one. We're claiming that one for 108.9 the Hawk, I'm sorry.
Matt (13:52)
Okay
Geoff Garlock (13:57)
In parentheses,
battle of the bulge. Can I just throw it? I think we need to put that in because I think it applies to both. think it just applies to just... Exactly.
Matt (14:01)
And that goes for both of my experiences. There was a real
Jason Gore (14:01)
salute
Matt (14:04)
battle of the bolts there in that Scottsdale, Arizona, unconditioned motel room. It was a hotel or it was a motel? What's the one that has beds?
Jason Gore (14:12)
⁓ Jesus. God, Scotty. I wish you would have given me a little details on my old my old cards here. ⁓ then that's a motel. That's a motel. Hotels do not have HBO. Only Cinemax. Only Cinemax is what I what I think about when I read forever. Once a quarter, I am sitting down and I'm reading Judy Blooms forever. So to be sitting here with the author, Dutch Swanson, absolutely amazing.
Geoff Garlock (14:13)
⁓ wow.
Matt (14:19)
It had HBO, I know that. Yeah, okay. Yeah.
Geoff Garlock (14:22)
that's a motel! HBO Clip. god. Only Skinimax.
Matt (14:33)
Good. Good.
Geoff Garlock (14:40)
try to read Tiger Eyes
and he just says shut up, get out of here.
Matt (14:42)
I'm just glad to
hear you're reading Bloom because you kids are keeping me in clover, because I'm not working these days anymore in any of the royalties I can get. I'd like your listeners to go down and pick up a super fudge or Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing or The Winds of War. I don't know what she... I don't know.
Jason Gore (14:58)
my god, Judy blooms winds of war. Nobody nobody I when I read that I was like my god how does it's like she was there. How does she know? ⁓ my god the the last chapter where you know the kid goes into Hitler's bunker. And he's like I got you now you son of a bitch. I'm like
Matt (15:06)
Yeah and the kid's so funny in it that kid is so funny he's just what a what a personality
Yeah.
Geoff Garlock (15:18)
my
Matt (15:20)
How did she
make it sweet? And by her I mean me. I mean me. Yeah. Well...
Jason Gore (15:22)
How did she make it sweet? Yeah, how did you make it sweet? I just don't
get it.
Geoff Garlock (15:28)
It's
a real you or her situation. You know, I don't know who to thank. I don't know who to thank.
Jason Gore (15:30)
⁓ my god.
Matt (15:32)
I gotta credit
her for opening up my soft side.
Jason Gore (15:36)
What is your hard side like? ⁓ Dutch.
Matt (15:39)
Oh, it's quite literally hard. It's mostly ossified kind of corns and calluses. There's like a, almost like a tortoise shell carapace on my right side here. Some will call it an exoskeleton, but none of the MDs have given it name like that.
Jason Gore (15:42)
okay. No. Nice.
Geoff Garlock (15:56)
I
have noticed as we're talking, I've never seen this before, but you have like a Harvey Dent two-face situation, where it's just one side of your body, just a hard tortoiseshell carapace.
Jason Gore (15:57)
my God.
Matt (16:02)
Yeah.
Jason Gore (16:02)
Yeah.
Matt (16:07)
I try to keep that in shadow.
Jason Gore (16:08)
Well, I mean, that's what radio is good for. That's what radio is good for. Everyone's like, Wisp, you got a face for radio. And Geoff, you got a face for radio and everything else for radio. But...
Geoff Garlock (16:09)
You gotta have your good side. Yeah.
Matt (16:11)
Yeah.
Hahaha.
Geoff Garlock (16:18)
I try to not take offense
at it every time.
Jason Gore (16:20)
I don't
whenever anyone says that I'm just like, what a delight. Thank you for calling me ugly. This is great. But I love radio and we love having you here. We are going to so basically, as you know, Dutch the weather in Val Verde is cold as hell. So and now you're a DJ so you get to do it. Give us the weather. It's time for weather on 108.9.
Matt (16:21)
I wouldn't.
⁓
Okay, okay, here we go. Okay, get this. Now listen up. okay, you go, open your door and go out and you're gonna feel a nip in the air, I'll bet, and then you just think to yourself, gosh, what's that feel like? Or better yet, get a little thermometer or something and then figure out what the weather is, you stooge. I didn't go through eight wars, eight wives, eight lives, and eight is enoughs to tell you
how to find out what temperature it is so your little lily asses can have a nice day down at the picnic park or wherever it is. You're going to the Sideburns Festival to try to win it, but good luck because these mutton chops of Dutch Swanson could whisk broom an old west cabin. That's how cold or hot it is. I don't give a goddamn Tinker's Dam or a red hot Beaver Dam what the temperature is, and that's the Dutch Swanson Weather Report.
Jason Gore (17:39)
Literally, we typically just say it's cold. But I mean, I mean, you you embellished a little I did like that I did like that I did like that.
Geoff Garlock (17:41)
We do, but this is a good way, I mean...
Matt (17:41)
⁓ it is cold. I should say that? It is cold? Okay, it's cold.
Geoff Garlock (17:47)
And it was a good reminder
that we do have the Cybern Festival. Again, you're dipping into community calendar, but that's it.
Jason Gore (17:51)
You're dipping a little into
community calendar. We will do that in the next segment. first, have to pay some bills Dutch you're here for the hour. Come back with us. ⁓ Local. my god. thank god, please get that on the Tic Tacs.
Geoff Garlock (18:00)
I got a lot of questions I gotta say when we come back. Most of them about Dick Van Patten and AID is enough, I got a feeling.
Matt (18:03)
⁓
Yeah,
yeah.
Jason Gore (18:09)
Get our numbers going through the roof. Geoff the anger man. That's good. Hey, local hair battle band, Fister. Everyone knows everyone loves them. They've got a new song out right now. It's their latest single. It's called Smells Like Hell. I'm a hot bathroom and someone's in there and it stinks so bad. You almost pass out. Well, that's me. Yeah, that's Zane. I apologize for the
See the best part of this Bad Company song is where they just groove a little at the end They just feel it. They just jam
Matt (19:39)
Yeah.
Geoff Garlock (19:39)
Little known fact, half of them forgot
they were still recording a song. this is definitely a good rock fact.
Jason Gore (19:43)
Whoa, is this a good rock fact? Here
Matt (19:43)
⁓
Jason Gore (19:46)
he goes.
Geoff Garlock (19:53)
Hey, this is Geoff the Young and Man, going along with a good rock fact. And of course, you gotta remember that in Bad Company's Ready for Love, half the band forgot they were in a studio, which happens most of the time in Bad Company songs. And if you want more facts about that, go down to Bad Company Fudge Company. They'll tell you all the facts while you get the best fudge in all of Alverde.

Jason Gore (38:30)
And
okay, okay. Jesus, Jesus.
Geoff Garlock (38:33)
⁓
Matt (38:33)
I'll leave it at that. I'd like him to hear that
but I'll leave it at that. I want him to keep on his toes and I want him to stay nervous.
Geoff Garlock (38:40)
Gonna
Jason Gore (38:40)
Stay
Geoff Garlock (38:40)
go with
Jason Gore (38:41)
nervous.
Geoff Garlock (38:41)
the bylines of this contest again. Any threats made by the guests who won the contest do not reflect any of the views of 108.9 The Hawk.
Jason Gore (38:45)
Yeah. Glad you. What are we putting down in
the house?
Matt (38:50)
But in this case they do.
Geoff Garlock (38:52)
I forgot that, that's in parenthesis. Damn it, god damn it.
Jason Gore (38:52)
I shit. God damn
Matt (38:55)
Yes. ⁓ We're having some fun, huh? We're having some fun.
Jason Gore (38:55)
it, Scotty. You put in the in this case, they do asterisk. OK, last movie, guys. It all comes down to this. And just so you know, this was the remake of the shit in the eye and the moon. Of course, in the 90s, it was called Virgin Hunt.
Geoff Garlock (38:57)
Scotty!
having a blast.
Matt (39:02)
Okay.
Geoff Garlock (39:14)
ding ding ding ding ding Roland Emmerich yeah I mean it's got it it's just right there
Jason Gore (39:15)
Okay, wow, that could have been anyone. Geoff.
Matt (39:20)
Yeah, I agree. I agree.
Jason Gore (39:22)
Yeah. It was on the posters
for a day after tomorrow, it said from the maker of Virgin Hunt. You know, this was there was really no prize, but I think we can get one of those. Scotty is holding up a couple and Taylor Loft vouchers over there that you asked for early. Why do you love and Taylor Loft so much Dutch?
Matt (39:27)
Why did I win?
Geoff Garlock (39:29)
Yes.
Yeah.
Matt (39:38)
I'll take all you got. Give me the basket. Give me the basket. I got eight ex-wives, right?
So that's eight. You've seen that movie Four Christmases? Watch it twice. I've got eight Christmases I gotta deal with. And if any one of them finds out that they all get Ann Taylor gift cards, they're gonna be so sore at me. So do they listen to this?
Geoff Garlock (39:51)
⁓
Jason Gore (39:57)
huh. ⁓
Geoff Garlock (40:02)
I think they do. I think they do.
Jason Gore (40:03)
yeah, I think they do listen to this.
We are we are the 25th rated morning show on in Val Verde. I mean, come on. That's basically the top.
Matt (40:08)
Ooh! Wow.
Geoff Garlock (40:11)
I mean, it also is just
beautiful, because if four Christmases is a perfect according to Blake Snyder, save the cat. Eight Christmases must be just a God set. So to imagine that means let's all get Ann Taylor Loftgift cards, and I think is the end.
Matt (40:16)
That's right.
Jason Gore (40:17)
We're not playing the game anymore angry man. God, please
Matt (40:23)
Yeah.
Jason Gore (40:25)
Can you imagine Vince Vaughn
having to deal with four more Christmases? He's like, what are we gonna do? What are we gonna go over to this house? We're gonna go over there? What are we gonna do? ⁓ I can't wait. I can't wait. Hopefully that's playing at the Val Verde Dollar Cinematheater sometime soon. Dutch, it has been absolutely fantastic having you in here. We've learned a lot about history. We've learned a lot about.
Geoff Garlock (40:29)
Jesus!
Matt (40:30)
Wouldn't be great.
⁓
Geoff Garlock (40:35)
Can't wait.
Jason Gore (40:50)
I mean, honestly, we learn more about Judy Blume than I thought I would learn in 2025. I was coming in here. I know you have we heard. Trust me when we go to break, ladies and gentlemen, he's just telling us he's just he did what you did over there on the table. It's like how to enter. I think we're going to.
Geoff Garlock (40:54)
I was guessing 0 % learning about Judy Blume this morning.
Matt (40:57)
⁓ I've learned a lot about Judy Blume, let me tell you that much.
I could draw you map.
Okay, all right, all right. And just to be clear,
she'd want it that way. I'm not telling tales out of school.
Jason Gore (41:16)
Well, she's
good. Good. Good. Do you talk to Judy anymore? Does it?
Matt (41:20)
We don't do a lot of talking.
Geoff Garlock (41:23)
my goodness. I think I know what he means.
Jason Gore (41:25)
God,
I exactly I mean, basically, she's your Sharon Stone, my seventh wife, Sharon Stone. If I could get you back, I would get you back. And I'm working on it. And the drones are following you, Just know the drones are following you, baby. That's how I like to love talk. I have this. I have an army of drones, Dutch drones. Yep. Fly them through and they're coming for you.
Geoff Garlock (41:32)
of course.
Matt (41:32)
⁓
Geoff Garlock (41:45)
Beautiful.
Matt (41:47)
that's sweet.
Geoff Garlock (41:49)
Your love language is drones. Yes.
Jason Gore (41:55)
my God, well Dutch is gonna hang out with us for a few more minutes, but God, we gotta pay some more bills. Which band is going to pay us the most to play their song?
Geoff Garlock (42:06)
no no no no, Wisp, you don't give up our Paola scam.
Please. You said that out loud. That was out loud. Scotty, next time he starts talking about Paola, you gotta put him on mute. We've talked about this.
Matt (42:09)
⁓
Jason Gore (42:10)
Was that out loud?
Oh, Jesus.
Well, it's got to mute me right now because I'm going to say. It's the band Blackfoot. pay the most and the song is trade train on 108.9 the Hawk. my God. It's like the train is coming down the tracks for you right now. Oh, no, it's just a movie, ladies and gentlemen. It's just a movie.
Geoff Garlock (42:24)
They got deep pockets.
It's coming at me!
Jason Gore (42:42)
⁓ god, this intro is too long. Train Train! Just play the music. Play the music, guys. Play the music. Play the music, guys. this is why they gotta pay for this, because it's just... it's insanity. ⁓ god, they're not... I know the guys in Train Train, and Jimmy, the harmonica player, is like, I got a real good intro for this one.
Geoff Garlock (42:49)
This is why they gotta pay so much! I mean, Jesus.
⁓ Jesus,
Matt (43:03)
So this song is
Geoff Garlock (43:03)
I just let him-
Matt (43:04)
just a real-time journey from one part of the country to the other on a locomotive train? Okay.
Geoff Garlock (43:08)
Now you understand Blackfoot.
Jason Gore (43:09)
nationwide.
It's Blackfoot on the Hawk.
Geoff Garlock (43:16)
Fantastic! Matt Gourley, thank you so much for going on the ride with us.
Jason Gore (43:17)
Hahaha!
Matt (43:23)
pleasure guys.
Jason Gore (43:24)
I gotta say, up this morning, expect to have any Judy Blume references, honestly.
Geoff Garlock (43:29)
Ha ha ha!
Matt (43:29)
⁓
I think you got to wake up every morning and just assume it's going to happen because you want to be ready for it when it does.
Jason Gore (43:32)
You gotta.
You got to assume the bloom.
You know, love Judy bloom so much. My wife loves Judy bloom so much. an American treasure.
Matt (43:46)
I know my daughter's just turning four and I think in a few years we'll be able to dive into those books. And I remember my teacher read a super fudge day after day chapter by chapter out loud and we were like wrapped. were we loved it.
Geoff Garlock (43:55)
Mm-hmm.
Jason Gore (43:56)
Yeah.
⁓
I remember being in school when Super Fudge came out and everybody like lost their minds. Like Super Fudge, are you kidding me? It was just as big as like Back to the Future 2. Like it was like Super Fudge. He has powers now.
Matt (44:06)
Yeah.
Geoff Garlock (44:06)
Yeah.
It's very fun
to revisit these things with your kids and also have those moments of like, no, I gotta reread this Roald Dahl part. I'm like, this doesn't, maybe shouldn't be said out loud here, but I enjoy this. ⁓ Matt, thank you so much truly for doing the Hawk. both are very excited. been, look, this is where I blow smoke up your butt.
Matt (44:15)
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jason Gore (44:29)
Yeah.
Yeah,
Do I need to throw? Do I need to fire anything for that? Geoff? Is there a sounder for blowing smoke? Okay, good, good.
Geoff Garlock (44:40)
I don't think I have an intro for that, but there's just no getting around.
Yes, yes, people might know you from Kono, Brian needs a friend, but Gorley and Rust, in Voorhees We Trust, my favorite podcast of just all time. Like truly, I did a podcast with our friend Frank called the Canon Canon for four years. It was only about Canon films.
Matt (44:54)
Aw, thanks man. I appreciate that.
Geoff Garlock (45:04)
And partly it was like, because this is a viable thing to do, like was with Gorley and Rust. Super Ego is one of the biggest influences ⁓ in my list of like even what we do here. Like when I, when we were, we both are from UCB, I like taught there for eight years and I would try to push when people would be like, what are sketch recommendations? I was like, listen to Super Ego. I was like, I was like, screw TV stuff. Like just because for me, it was just like so in depth.
Jason Gore (45:12)
God.
Matt (45:15)
⁓
Jason Gore (45:15)
Yeah, yeah.
Matt (45:26)
how nice of you, my god.
Geoff Garlock (45:32)
so niche in the best way possible, also like, and you probably feel like the amount of work you put in also made me be like, yeah, that's how I'll probably approach most things.
Matt (45:42)
It was a labor of love and I have some good news. Next year is the 20th anniversary, if you can believe that. ⁓ this later this year, actually next month, I think we're going to gear up to do some recording of some kind. So whether that's a like a one-off special or a couple and maybe a live show or something like that, but we're all excited to get back and do some more.
Jason Gore (45:49)
my god.
Geoff Garlock (45:55)
love it.
Jason Gore (45:56)
my god.
Geoff Garlock (46:03)
I mean, I'm excited for you to get back. mean, truly, it's
Jason Gore (46:05)
God. Yeah.
Geoff Garlock (46:07)
an
amazing show. always has I mean, Mall Walking, James Bondi with Bad Mirror, Keys to the Kingdom, fantastic podcast. I almost emailed you when I was like, oh, I wonder if we'll do a second season, because I worked at an amusement park in Connecticut as a character animal for one summer.
Matt (46:16)
Thank you.
Really, do you have any crazy stories? Because we were considering a second season based on like travel destinations, theme park, Disney travel destinations.
Geoff Garlock (46:34)
Right. Yeah, it was a bit, I mean,
Jason Gore (46:35)
Hehehehe
Geoff Garlock (46:36)
it was
just me and my singer in my band and we were Kyle the Crocodile, the official ambassador of fun and eight foot tall purple crocodile. And we had to go, I had to do a WB event. I had to go to a country music fair. I hung out with as the crocodile. So I had to like dance. I had to learn a WB dance, like in the back of the mall in Connecticut. That's what I said. And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's this and this and do this. Like, I'm sure I didn't do it.
Matt (46:48)
As the crocodile, you were the crocodile? Wow.
Jason Gore (46:49)
my god.
Matt (46:55)
They have a WB specific dance? ⁓
Geoff Garlock (47:02)
yeah, I think I tried, also imagine I'm a giant inflatable character. Like I can't control anything and I was 17. Oh yeah. I had to do that in front of a bunch of kids and try to get them to go with me. Yeah. But just, you know, that's just, and I was there too. My God. mean like.
Jason Gore (47:02)
Do you form a WB at any time? Like what was the? Yeah.
Matt (47:05)
I like the YMCA.
Jason Gore (47:10)
Hahaha
Matt (47:13)
And W and B are like the two hardest letters to do alone.
Jason Gore (47:16)
Yes. They're
like
They're like, what is this crocodile doing?
Matt (47:21)
God. ⁓
Geoff Garlock (47:28)
I mean, you also maybe signed me off to during the quarantine, had four podcasts going, like, because I was like, I'm losing my mind. And I need to but it's a pleasure. It was a pleasure. Truly. mean, I, I wouldn't be here today without your work.
Matt (47:34)
Yeah, why not?
Jason Gore (47:35)
Jesus.
Yeah.
Matt (47:42)
Thank you.
that's nice of you. This was so much fun to do because it made me feel like I was doing Super Ego. I feel like you guys are so right in tune. It's so hilarious what you're doing. And I feel right at home with just being a, you know, having a little fun and getting a little weird, which is my favorite thing to do.
Jason Gore (47:53)
⁓ that's a well, dude. Thank you.
Geoff Garlock (47:54)
I've made.
Jason Gore (48:04)
That's when we tell when we ask people to come on, we're like, literally, we can't like stress this enough. This is the lowest stakes podcast ever podcasted. Like anything goes like we will do commercials for the sideburns festival. Like that will be a commercial that comes up in future episodes and stuff like anything goes and it was just an absolute joy to have you part of this and I would love to have you back sometime soon.
Matt (48:17)
Ha ha ha ha!
Geoff Garlock (48:18)
yeah.
Yes.
Matt (48:28)
Would love to, yeah.
