Over the past 10 years, Mac Watson and Larry Gaydos have informed — and entertained — listeners across Arizona.

In honor of 10 years of the Mac & Gaydos show, we want to thank our listeners. We’re celebrating a Decade of Mac & Gaydos with ten days of giveaways.

Enter the contest online or text “10” to 411-923 then listen to the Mac & Gaydos show each weekday at 5:15 p.m. for your chance to win the biggest prizes we could get our hands on, including a 2-night staycation at the Arizona Biltmore, two Phoenix Open tickets or $1,000 in cash.

But for now, sit back, relax and relive the last 10 years through the hosts themselves.
