SPEAKER_08 0:00

Ladies and gentlemen, we ask that you please take your seats at this time as the program will begin momentarily. Thank you. Uplifting the airways, one dimple at a time. It's time for the Dimple Report. News, laughs, and dimplified moments with your host, founder, and chief dimples officer of National Doubles Day, Graceful Grady. Remember, dimples are more than a trait. They're a reason to celebrate.

SPEAKER_09 1:13

This is where the world makes news and we templify it. There's no need to wait. Let's get into it. AZ Fudd, Clef Chin, Confidence, and Clutch goes number one overall in the WNBA draft landing in Dallas. That's not just a pick, that's a statement. Dimples are going number one. Now, over to Augusta, because we got a tread. No. Better yet, a movement. Roy McElroy, cleft chin, goes back to back at the Masters. And when you add Scotty Scheffler, rocking those cheek dimples, that makes it a three-peat. Three straight champions, all wrapping dimples. At this point, Augusta might as well be sponsored by National Dimples Day. Next, taking over the league. Shea Gildris Alexander. Smooth, smooth demeanor, smooth game, and yes, cheek dimples. Finals MVP and the Oklahoma City Thunder, they're not done. They're coming back to defend the crown. Simply put, dimples, they're running the NBA. Wemby, Durant, and many, many more. And finally, we had a breaking story that wasn't breaking it at all. Trevor Lawrence had the internet in a frenzy with rumors he cut the hair. But after a full investigation by my research team, we can confirm the hair is still flowing, the cleft chin still shining. And the internet? Hey, still undefeated at being wrong. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Dimples in the Headlines. We will be right back after this commercial break.

SPEAKER_01 3:48

Hi, cute dimples.

SPEAKER_07 3:50

Is that your best pickup line?

SPEAKER_01 3:52

No pickup line. Just complimenting your dimples. Did you know July 9th is National Dimples Day? Really? Yeah, they have a fun site and merchandise. Check it out. NationalDimplesday.com.

SPEAKER_10 4:05

Hmm. NationalDimplesday.com. Got it.

SPEAKER_01 4:08

May I uh buy you a cup of coffee? I feel something brewing between us.

SPEAKER_05 4:14

Sure.

SPEAKER_09 4:17

Welcome back, Dimples Nation. It's time for the Dimple Spotlight. And every now and then, I get requests to do something for the younger listeners. Last time I did this, I put everybody on game, told you how the popsicle, earmarks, and even safe baby car seats were all invented by teenagers. So today, we're keeping that same energy. This one is a little bit more cartoonish. And I mean that literally. Now, let me set the vibe right away. I'm gonna take you back. Way back. Shout out by the way to Marshall Jefferson. If you know, you know. Quick note before I jump in. The character we're spotlighting today dates all the way back to the 1930s, and like a lot of entertainment from that era, some older content included stereotypes that don't reflect today's values. Now I'm happy to say I understand that those episodes have been pulled. Now, with that said, we're focusing on the version of this character that became a global icon, the one generations grew up with. Now, picture this: a tough, no-nonsense figure, signature look, instantly recognizable, built like he seen it all, and right there, front and center, a cleft chin that became part of the identity. This character was so popular, they made the jump to the fixed screen in 1980, starring Robin Williams, and even today, still going viral. Case in point, over on Family Feud in Canada, they asked a simple question. What is this character's favorite food? The contestant hit the buzzer and she said, Chicken! Yeah, chicken. That clip blew up over four million views on YouTube alone. And it just proves this character is so iconic that people think they know, even when they don't know. And if you haven't figured it out by now, Drumble, please. We're talking about Popeye, the Sailor Man, the squint, the strength, the spinach, and that unmistakable cleft chant, a symbol of grit, toughness, and timeless character. Now, go ahead, grab your pen and a piece of paper. You know what time it is. It's trivia time. We will be right back after this commercial break.

SPEAKER_10 7:22

SPEAKER_09 7:53

Welcome back, dimples nation. It's their time. Trivia time! Here are your questions. Question number one. What is Popeye's signature food that gives him strength? A broccoli. B spinach. Or C carrots. The correct answer is the answer B Spinach. Question number two. What physical feature is Popeye especially known for? Besides his four arms? A ears. The beard. Or C cleft chin. The answer? C. Cleft Chin. Alright, Dimple's Nation, that's it for your weekly trivia. And as you know, I like to end the Dimple spotlight with a dedicated song by Dimpo Suave and the Diplets.

SPEAKER_13 9:20

We're back in the time so slow. Black and white, but the glow still showed. There was a face you could always find. Strong little mark right down the line. Didn't say much, didn't need the hype. Walked in the room, we could feel that type. Rough on the edge, but the heart stayed in you knew that's all by the cleft in the chin.

SPEAKER_13 9:48

SPEAKER_12 10:02

SPEAKER_13 10:04

Jimbo spotlight, soft but strong. Been that way for so long. Do every change, one thing is the crypto in the chin.

SPEAKER_12 10:15

The crypto in the chin. From the sea breeze to the silver screen. Lift the arrows, know what I mean. Never switched up, stayed the same. Different times, but a lasting name, even now. Still circle back. Moments go viral just like that. People guess, but they missed again.

SPEAKER_13 10:37

Oh, it's more than strength, you see. It's identity, legacy. One small detail that pulls you in that signature. Simple spotlight. Shining on you, every ever still breaking through. From the old days to the world's.

But it never really left.

SPEAKER_09 12:01

Welcome back, Dimple's Nation. And now it's time for the Dimple Drop. Today's drop goes to none other than Peter Griffith from Family Guy. You know who he is. Now, Peter, he might not be winning any awards for common sense, but let's be honest, that cleft chin is doing a lot of heavy lifting. It's bold, it's unforgettable, and somehow it perfectly with the chaos. That chin has survived everything. Random fights, wild schemes, falling downstairs for way too long, and it never folds. In a world of unpredictable moments, that cleft chin is the most consistent thing about him. Peter Griffin. Solid proof that even in pure comedy, a dimple can steal the spotlight. Poetry time. We'll be right back.

SPEAKER_14 13:21
