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 doubles officer of National Doubles Day, Graceful Grady. Remember, dimples are more than a trait. They're a reason to celebrate. Oh Yeah!

SPEAKER_09 1:03

All right, Dimples Nation, and if this is your first time here, I'm going to ask you too to do one thing. Stop. Hear me out. If it made headlines and if it had dimples, you already know we're talking about it. Welcome to the Dimple Report, the official podcast of National Dimples Day, where we don't just follow the culture, we dimplify it. I'm your host, Grace for Grady. And today we got history being made, streaks turning into movements, and yes, dimples taking over everything from the court to the green to the internet. So don't blink because it's time for the segment that's short, sharp, and always on point. And ladies and gentlemen, that is Dimples in the Headlines. AZ Budd, cleft chin, composure, and straight up clutch goes number one overall in the WNBA draft to Dallas. Now, let me say that again, because I don't know if you heard. Number one overall. That's not just a pick, that's a message to the world. Dimples don't follow greatness, they lead it. Now, let's head to Augusta, where we have more than a trend. We have a takeover. Roy McElroy, cleft chin, goes back to back at the Masters. Adding Scotty Scheffler, Cheek Dimples, from the year before. That makes it a three-peat. Three straight green jackets. Three straight champions, all repping dimples. At this point, Augusta might need to rename a mint corner to Dimple Territory. Something like that. Next, the NBA, where smooth isn't just a playstyle, it's a signature. Shea Gilders Alexander, calm, calculated, and rocking cheek dimples, leads his squad to a championship and takes home Finals MVP. How about this year? Well, Oklahoma City isn't going anywhere. Add names like Victor Wembayama, Kevin Durant, the list goes on and on and on. One thing is clear: the league isn't just in good hands, it's in dimpled hands. Come on. You knew that was coming, right? And finally, breaking news. That really wasn't breaking news. The internet had a full-blown emergency over Trevor Lawrence. Did he cut the hair? After a full investigation conducted by my research team, also known as me, myself, and I, we can confirm the hair, still there, the cleft chin, still in, the internet still undefeated at being wrong. And that, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, is dimples in the headlines. We will be right back after this break.

Picture this squint in one eye, pipe in the mouth, forearms, ready for anything, and right there, front and center, a cleft chin that became legendary. Big screen debut? Yeah, 1980, starring Robin Williams, and even today, still going viral. Family feud in Canada. The host was asking, what's his favorite food? The contestant said, Chicken. Yeah, four million views later, and the world was reminded. People think they know, but legends hit different. So, who are we talking about? Popeye the Sailor Man, Spinach, Strength, Swagger, and that cleft chin built for battle. Cartoon or not, icons, leave impressions. We're gonna take a break, but grab your pen and a piece of paper.
