Are You Ready for Some Football?
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, live on tape from Nevada and Virginia to the world.

Swish Rewind: The Lynda Carter Interview
01/29/2025
Swish Rewind: The Lynda Carter Interview
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't get enough of our friendly conversation with the television legend. Dale & Scott will return with a fresh new episode on February 5.
