The 14-year-old comedy and pop culture podcast makes a triumphant return. Co-hosts Dale Blades & Scott Wallis couldn’t let their baby wither away, so they’re back behind the mics—with cocktails in hand—in their Vegas studio, talking about all the silly news from the worlds of celebrity, entertainment, travel, and various oddities of life.

We started this show in 2010—wow! For the past 13 years, we’ve covered all the silly pop culture subjects with wit & snark and had a ball doing it. We appreciate our dedicated listeners, but it’s time for something else. We hope you enjoy this final show (for now b/c we never say never) and hope you’ll join us for an ALL NEW show debuting in October. But first, listen up as frequent guest Jacqueline joins us to talk about all the craziness of the week, live on tape from sweltering Sin City.

As Dale & Scott wind down the Swish Edition podcast with their second-to-last episode (don’t worry, they’ll be back with a new show in October), they’re talking about MGM Resorts & Marriott’s new 20 year deal; a Hallmark Christmas cruise; Aretha Franklin’s handwritten will; Miranda Lambert’s hate for selfies; a “90210” reunion; Zuckerberg bulks up; Twitter’s poopy response to the media; a haunted mansion for sale; why the Hollywood strike makes sense; and, much more pop culture goodness.

The boys are talking about the Meta’s Twitter killer, Threads; Ricky Martin is now up for grabs; McDonald’s is catering weddings?!; Delta will drive you to your plane in a Porsche; Princess Leia’s dress fails to sell; a dozen of Siegfried & Roy’s exotic cats get a new forever home; Madonna cancels North American dates; pop stars keep getting hit on stage; Vegas locals CAN win Megabucks; Taylor Swift could make over $1 billion on her tour; and, much more pop culture goodness. 

Happy 4th, Americans—aren’t you happy you aren’t British? Anyway, we’re talking about people who triggered by stuff like the song “My Heart Will Go On;” how a Subway purposely triggered folks in Georgia; a man wins big at the airport; Cher is recording a Christmas album; Pepsi ketchup is a thing; will Mark & Elon fight it out at Rome’s Colosseum?; Virgin Voyages continues to shake up the industry; can restaurants get rid of tipping?; “Coyote vs Acme” movie is coming; and, much more silliness.
