Swish Edition

Are you ready for some football, y’all? Being that it’s Wednesday, February 5, the Super Bowl countdown is seriously on! While Dale is on assignment this week, Scott and his special guest co-host Kristin have all the silly pop culture news and views, including the record-breaking cost to attend this Sunday’s Big Game in New Orleans; how much a 30-second commercial on said telecast will cost Haggen-Dazs, Dunkin’, and Ritz crackers (but NOT State Farm); why we hate that damned groundhog (even though he’s hardly ever right with his predictions); “Buffy” may live to slay again on Hulu; the Waffle House has added a 50 cent per egg surcharge to their menu; OnlyFans is making a bunch of people multi-multi-millionaires; how we’d both love to make money with cooking videos on YouTube and TikTok; Barilla, Oreo, and Pringles shake up our grocery aisles with unexpected ‘limited time offer’ items; Starbucks is thankfully returning the their roots; Costco is making enemies with their Pepsi-loving customers; and, much more,

Dale & Scott are otherwise engaged this week, far away from their microphones, so they are releasing this “Swish Rewind” episode to keep you company while they're away. Once upon a time, back in June 2012, Scott, along with former co-hosts Jason and Steve, spoke to the iconic actress and singer Lynda Carter. You know her, for sure: Lynda was the original female superhero on our television screens, starring as the title character in "Wonder Woman," that aired on ABC, then CBS, between 1975 and 1979.  In this throwback segment from the podcast's early days in our nation’s capital, the guys talk to the Washington, D.C.-area resident about her pop music albums, touring the country, the fate of that infamous tight-fitting superhero costume, taking on Hollywood her way, singing with Kermit the Frog on "The Muppet Show," kayaking the Potomac River, popping up in the "The Dukes of Hazzard" and the "Super Troopers" movies, and much more. Lynda was an absolute delight that day, a real trooper, and we simply couldn'

Grab a drink and belly up to the bar, y’all, because Dale & Scott are ready to talk at ya again. This week YOU can drive the Planter’s NUTmobile…stay in a chain of college-themed hotels…watch a kickass spy movie…suck on some soup flavored candy…buy a circus-themed hotel and casino…go country at the Las Vegas Sphere…but NOT rock with the Black Eyed Peas…you can catch up with ”The Night Agent” on Netflix…bake some apples and dough for National Pie Day (not to be confused with Pi Day)…and engage in much, much more pop culture silliness. That’s what this week’s episode is all about.
