Dale & Scott are back after their Summer hiatus, joined in the Las Vegas studio by longtime Swish Edition listeners Melissia & Jeremy who are in town from Florida. This week we’re all talking about people behaving badly on airports and airplanes; legally becoming a member of the Mile High Club high above Vegas; how sharing all-you-can-eat food at Applebee’s can get you arrested; apparently 1 in 10 mothers regret the name they gave their baby (Elon Musk's baby momma's gotta be on that list); Sin City’s shuttered Tropicana hotel and casino gets a demolition date; a Bellagio Fountain super fan pays big time to create his own choreographed show to a U2 song—marking the hotel’s 40th show; "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" sets records, sorta; and, much more pop culture silliness for September 11, 2024.

Before Dale & Scott take the Summer off to work on some special projects, they’ve got all the pop culture silliness of the past week. They’re talking about the Chicago-area “Home Alone” house hitting the market; Marilyn Monroe’s house being ripped down (or NOT, as the case may be; Elvis’ house is safe from the evil doers; Evel Knievel’s son Kelly owns an Evel pizza place in Vegas; a documentary about the 1980’s brat pack is coming to Hulu; the Power Slap championship series is making Dana White a rich(er) man; retailers’ real reason for asking us all to round up; the disco floor John Travolta danced on in “Saturday Night Fever” is hitting the auction block; and celebrities are being banned from buying luxury vehicles because they can’t stop breaking the rules. All that, and much more,  on our final episode of Spring. (PS—The show will be back with new episodes staring on September 11, 2024.)

This week we’re asking ALL the pop culture questions of the week: Have we reached the peak of wokeness with wall-to-wall trigger warnings? Can Kayne West repair his reputation by making porn? Is Diddy’s goose cooked? Could Tom Brady have been a better sport during and after his celebrity roast? Will the Evel Knievel Museum survive in downtown Las Vegas? Will the new Uber Shuttle revolutionize ground transportation? Will you try McDonald’s Grandma McFlurry? Will the “I Know What You Did Last Summer” sequel work 28 years later? Is Scott a bonefied Raiders football fan now or does he just like the pageantry of it all? Do you know the best way to survive EDC? Don’t go. Are you interested in helping Rudy Giuliani get out of debt by buying his coffee beans? How long before the real Disney sues Mini Disni? Does Mickey Mouse and Aladdin deserve to be unionized? Will Elvis’ Graceland be auctioned off to the highest bidder? All of that, and much more from the crazy world we live in…from Las Vegas to your ears.

Co-hosts Dale & Scott are back behind their golden mics talking about singer John Legend and multi-hyphenate Chrissy Teigen as they start a healthy pet food company; Welch’s introduces a line of canned cocktails; a Disney World restaurant has been awarded the world’s first theme park-located Michelin star; “Hollywood Squares” to get a reboot by CBS; Dave & Busters will start letting customers wager on their games; Carnival Cruises once again wins the customer service award against idiots; “Downton Abbey” will live on at least one more time in movie form; a gay candle company is capitalizing on Robert Kennedy Jr.’s brain worm; Judge Judy takes on the “National Enquirer” again; Lady Gaga will bring her Chromatica concert to HBO and MAX; and, the guys tell you the real reason your underwear is always inside out when it comes out of the dryer. All of that, and much more pop culture silliness of the week. It’s all the stuff you’ve just got to know, y’all.

From the 60th anniversary of the iconic “Viva Las Vegas” movie and song to the Big Nude Boat cruise coming to Miami early next year, we’ve got a lot to tell you this week. Plus, we’ll tell you about the people who accidentally shipped their cat to Amazon; Caitlin Clark’s payday; Oreo’s curious new flavor combination; Jennifer Aniston is developing a reboot of 1980’s “9 to 5” movie; we’re digging “Franklin” in Apple TV; streaming hits “Acapulco” and “Hacks” both return this week for season 3; Tennessee comedienne Leanne Morgan inks sitcom deal with Netflix and Chuck Lorre; and yet another “Scooby Doo” live action production is coming to Netflix. All that, and much more pop culture silliness of the week with Dale & Scott.

We have an absolute abundance of pop culture silliness to talk to you about this week, y’all! Dale & Scott discuss Taylor Swift’s new mega-album; a series of asshats who prove what we already believed: humanity is doomed, including the disgusting people who yanked a small bear cub from a North Carolina tree to take photos with it; Tesla continues to slip big time, including a Cyber Truck recall; an “Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” sequel is in the works with the original cast; you could be the new owner of the white Ford Bronco that infamously drove OJ Simpson all of Los Angeles 30 years ago; Heinz releases a Barbie-themed barbecue sauce about a year too late; the Ultimate Endless Shrimp menu item could be the end of Red Lobster because their executives are idiots; this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees are announced; and, much more news and views. What are you waiting for? Press ‘play.’

On National Haiku Poetry Day (yeah, it’s a thing), Dale & Scott are talking about the new Monopoly board game movie; California’s snazzy new overnight train service; the popular BarkBox subscription service is planning to launch private jet charters for dogs; U.S. stamps are on the rise yet again (but it won’t save the forever-troubled USPS, y’all); Hollywood is on a serious reboot craze (think “Melrose Place,” “Scary Movie,” and “Legally Blonde,” among others); the crazy reason Oakland, California wants to waste taxpayer dollars; Disney’s Goofy gets sued; and, lots more pop culture silliness of the past week.
