SPEAKER_06 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 Dplified 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_07 1:22

Resilience. Every one of us faces challenges, setbacks, disappointments, and moments that test us. What matters isn't that adversity shows up, is that we don't let it define us. We keep smiling, we keep believing, and we keep moving forward. Now, each week on The Dimple Report, our Dimple Spotlight features someone from the world of sports, business, or entertainment whose story deserves to be celebrated. And today, our spotlight is on the business world, shining on a man whose vision changed the world. But before I tell you who it is, you know how we start the show. We start with dimples in the headlines. First up, we had a showdown yesterday between two members of the Dimples Nation, Killian Mbappe, sporting both cheek and chin dimples, squared off against Lamine Yamal, who sports a chin dimple. Most of the betting money was on Mbappe, but this time it was Jamal who came out on top. Now, as founder and chief dimples officer of National Dimples Day, I don't play favorites. Unlike some executives who have been accused of showing favoritism. So congrats to Yem on moving to the final against another member of the Dimples Nation. He goes by the name of Messi. He has dimples and a clapped chin. Anyway, we will be watching. Yes, he has cheek dimples underneath that facial hair. Anyway, he came up short in the home run derby, losing to Jordan Walker. Now, Jordan may not be a member of the Dimples Nation, but he does have one thing going for him. He's from Atlanta, Georgia, the home of National Dimples Day. Congrats to Jordan on the win. And don't worry, Dimples Nation, remember what I said a few minutes ago about adversity. One home on Derby doesn't define Kyle Schwaber. We know he'll be back launching baseballs into the seats again very soon. And finally, the world's number one golfer, Scotty Scheffler, missed the cut at the Scottish Open. His first missed cut in nearly four years. Now, every champion has an off week. And if history tells us anything, Scotty won't stay down for long. We fully expect to see him competing for another trophy. In fact, starting today, the Open Championship. Now, Dimple's Nation, did you notice something very unique? There's a common theme in all three of those stories. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Sometimes you surprise the world, sometimes the world surprises you. But true champions don't let one setback define them. They learn, they grow, and they keep moving forward. Which brings us perfectly to today's dimple spotlight. Today's spotlight is on someone who was fired from the very company he started, only to come back and change the world forever. I'll tell you who it is right after this short commercial break. And by the way, don't worry, even our commercials know how to overcome adversity.

SPEAKER_00 5:55

Hi, cute dimples.

SPEAKER_04 5:57

Is that your best pickup line?

SPEAKER_00 5:59

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_04 6:12

Hmm. NationalDimplesday.com? Got it.

SPEAKER_00 6:16

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

SPEAKER_10 6:21

Sure.

SPEAKER_07 6:25

Welcome back. Dimples Nation. Today's Dimples Spotlight shines on the man recognized around the world for his vision, innovation, and yes, his unmistakable cheek dimple that I bet many of you never even noticed. His name? Steve Jobs.

unknown 6:52

Yeah!

SPEAKER_07 6:55

For those who may not know, Steve Jobs co-founded Apple in 1976 and helped change the way we live. From the Macintosh to the iPod to the iPhone. Sorry, I use Samsung. To the iPad. His ideas transformed the way billions of people communicate, work, listen to music, and experience technology. But here's what makes Steve Jobs' story the perfect fit for today's episode. Success didn't come without setbacks. In 1985, Steve Jobs was fired from Apple.

SPEAKER_00 7:35

Rewind.

SPEAKER_07 7:37

Yes, you heard me correctly. He was fired from the very company he helped create. Imagine that. For many people, that would have been the end of the story, but not for Steve Jobs. For him, it was simply the beginning of the next chapter. He founded Next Computer, became the driving force behind Pixar Animation Studios, and years later returned to Apple. Under his leadership, Apple introduced products that revolutionized the technology industry and became one of the most valuable companies in the world. That's why Steve Jobs remind us of something we talked about throughout today's episode. Sometimes life knocks you down, sometimes you lose, sometimes you're overlooked. But one setback doesn't determine your future at all. As members of the Dimples Nation, we know challenges will come. Trust me, I know. The key isn't avoiding adversity, the key is refusing to let adversity define who you become. And Steve Jobs proved exactly that. Now, let's see how much you know about this week's Dimple Spotlight. Grab a pen and a piece of paper. It's trivia time. All right, Dimple's Nation. Question number one. Steve Jobs co-founded Apple in what year? A nineteen seventy-four? B. nineteen seventy-six? Or C nineteen seventy-eight? The correct answer is? The correct answer is B. 1976. Question number two. Steve Jobs was famously fired from Apple in 1985. Which company did he start doing his time away from Apple? Was it A, Adobe, B, Oracle, or C next? The correct answer is? The correct answer is C next. Apple later purchased next, and that acquisition helped pave the way for Steve Jobs' return. Question number three. The final question. Steve Jobs also built another company that forever changed animated movies. Which company was it? A DreamWorks? Bixar or C Industry, Light and Magic. The correct answer is? The correct answer is Pixar. Pixar created classics such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and many other beloved films before being acquired by Disney. Congrats to all those who answered all three questions correctly. In fact, give yourself a hand. And there you have it, Dimple's Nation, Steve Jobs. A visionary, an innovator, a member of Dimple's Nation. Congrats to this week's Dimple Spotlight, Steve Jobs. Now, as you know, being selected as the Dimple Spotlight is one of the highest honors here at the Dimples Nation. And every honoree receives a one-of-a-kind musical tribute. Now, normally, that tribute comes from my musical group, Dimpo Swave and the Dimplettes. But this week, I've decided to give Dimpo Swave the week off to rest those vocal cords. So that means the pressure is on the Demplettes. Now, if you've been listening the last couple of weeks, you know I like to challenge my musical group. For Betty White, I challenged them to mix violins, a harp, heavy metal, and house music into one song. Last week, for Steve Henson, creator of Hidden Valley Ranch, I told them to slow it down with smooth jazz, soulful vocals, some horns, of course, a touch of reggae, and of course a little ole for our soccer fans. Well, this week, I'm giving the Dimplettes their biggest challenge yet. I want something soft, something mysterious, something with a whisper pop vibe. Think of fellow member of the Dimple's Nation, Billy Irish, the Whisper Style. So, ladies, let's see what you got. Dimples Nation, I give you the Dimplets with this week's Dimple Spot Bite tribute dedicated to Steve Jobs.

SPEAKER_02 15:41

Thank you for coming. Steve Jobs, Dimble Swave, and the dimension. Let's go. Started in a garage, just a dream in the night. Steve drops out tomorrow before it came to light. One bright vision, one fearless twice, changing generation. One idea. Tap twice. Tap twice. What's the future combined? Everybody knows the name. In the nation ever started. Everybody celebrate. Touch the screen. Every dream is touch a free. Face that we heart beat. Changing this. Founder of National Timpost Day. Stay connected and keep smiling.

SPEAKER_07 20:01

Hmm. Not bad at all. Welcome back, Dimples Nation. Our spotlight may be over, but we're not finished celebrating. Every episode, we try to recognize another outstanding member of the Dimples Nation who's making an impact on their own unique way. So let's keep the celebration going. It's time for the Dimple Drop. And this week's Dimple Drop goes to an actress, producer, Harvard graduate, and proud member of The Dimples Nation. Her name? Yara Shahidi. Yara first captured the hearts of audiences at Zoe Johnson on the hit television series Blackish. Now, she later starred in a successful spin-off, Groanish. Along the way, she became known not only for her talent and intelligence, but also for using her platform to encourage education, civic engagement, and young people to make positive differences in their communities. And of course, here at The Dimple Report, we couldn't help but notice her signature cleft chin, aka Chin Dimple, aka Butt Chin, making her another proud member of The Dimples Nation. Yara reminds us that beauty, confidence, intelligence, and purpose all go hand in hand. So, this week, we'd like to recognize someone who's inspiring both on and off the screen. Congrats to this week's dimple drop, Yara Shahidi. We will be right back after this message from today's sponsor, the Dimple Store, the official store of National Dimples Day.

SPEAKER_03 21:50

Back dimples, ooh, they shine. Every curve, every smile divine. Confidence, that's a core. Style in love, we give you more. Flaunch your dimples there. Ever do it to your charm at the dimple store. Every dimple, every dimple deserves its shine. The dimple stars are coming Welcome back, Dumbles Nation.

SPEAKER_07 22:18

It's half time. You know what that means. It's poetry time.

SPEAKER_09 22:34

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the show. Now it's dimple versus let the good vibes flow. With graceful Granny on the mic so steady from the dimple report and the poetry's dimple ready.

SPEAKER_07 23:02

Let me grab my shades. For the stars, one setback never writes the story. It simply sets the stage for future glory.

SPEAKER_11 23:52

Yah yah yah yah yah. Show them proud. One them bugs, play it loud. Love them bugs. You be load. On the dumbbell report, I'm still in the lamb. Great book ready on the microphone. You can do that too, but it's not a micro-deep. I mean, that I need to find the artist button that is blue for my day one. That is the blue box. That is bummy for my feelings.

SPEAKER_07 24:54

Welcome back, Dimples Nation. Grab your popcorn, find your favorite seat, and dim the lights. Because it's time for film and TV. Dimplified. And this week, I'm putting a major movie on the Dimples Nation watch list. It's titled The Odyssey. Now, this isn't just any movie.

unknown 25:18

No.

SPEAKER_07 25:19

It's directed by one of Hollywood's biggest filmmakers and a fellow member of the Dimples Nation. His name? Christopher Nolan. Proudly sporting a cleft chin, aka butt chin, aka chin dimple. But wait, he didn't come to this movie alone. The cast also features Matt Damon, Cleft Chen, Tom Holland, Cleft Chin, and Robert Patterson, you guessed it, Cleft Chin. Dimple's Nation. That's a whole lot of Chin Dimple power in just one movie. Based on one of the most famous adventure stories ever told, the Odyssey is expected to bring action, danger, drama, unforgettable characters, and the kind of epic filmmaking Christopher Nolan is known for. So, will the movie live up to the excitement? We have to wait and see. But one thing is already clear, when it comes to this cast, Dimple's Nation is well represented. So add the Odyssey to your watch list. And when you see Christopher Nolan, Matt Damon, Tom Holland, and Robert Patterson, don't just watch the adventure, watch those cleft chins. So, that's this week's Film and TV, Dimplified. We will be right back.

SPEAKER_04 26:47

Uh-oh. I love everyone except a very specific group of people. They make my my skin itch, irritate my soul. It does all boil down to the fact that I'm hating, but it doesn't matter because I can't stand them. And that group of people, those are people with dimples. The first reason is when you're talking to a person, just having a regular conversation with a person with dimples. They don't look you head-on. They turn just enough for you to get a clear shot of the dimple. There's no winning an argument with a person who has a dimple. No matter what I say back, no matter even if I'm in tears, I'm always gonna be the bad guy because they look like cherub angels next to me.

SPEAKER_07 27:30

Alright, Dimple's Nation. Every week, I get to play general manager, looking across the world of sports and selecting one member of the Dimples Nation that I believe is ready for a big performance. Now remember, this isn't based on guarantees, it's based on instinct, a little research, a little sports knowledge, and maybe, just maybe, a little dimple magic. So, what am I drafting this week? You'll find out right after this short commercial break.

It's time for my fantasy dimpled draftee. After looking across the sports world, my selection this week is Drumroll Please. Now, I know what some of you are thinking. Grace folk, didn't Scotty just miss the gut at the Scottish Open? Yes he did. But remember, the theme of today's episode, adversity, doesn't define you. True champions don't stay down for long. And today he tees up at the Open Championship. Sometimes all a champion needs is one disappointing week to refocus. And I believe that's exactly what's about to happen. That's why I'm selecting Scotty Scheffler as this week's Fantasy Dimpled Draftee. Scotty, Dimples Nation is pulling for you. Now, before anyone rushes off and plays a bet, remember my Fantasy Dimpled Draftee segment is all in good fun. If you decide to wager based on my pick, that's your decision and your responsibility.
