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 dimplified 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.

SPEAKER_08 1:13

Here, we are dedicated to the culture, the confidence, and the celebration of Dimples worldwide. I'm your host, Graceful Grady, founder of National Dimples Day. Now, Dimples Nation, as I continue to watch TV, I'm noticing we are always making news. So I've decided to kick things off with our brand new segment for the Dimple Report, simply called Dimples in the Headlines. This is where we spotlight what's happening right now across the world through the lens of what else? Dimples. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, why hesitate? Let's get into it. This edition will feature two proud members of the Dimples Nation. First up, WNBA player Sophie Cunningham bringing that cleft chin confidence. Next up, track and field superstar Melissa Jefferson Wooden showing off those signature cheek dimples. Everyone, this is a major moment for visibility. Next up, in college hoops, Audi Crooks, Clef Chen. One of my fantasy dimple draftees this year. She has officially entered the transfer portal.

SPEAKER_03 3:13

SPEAKER_08 3:17

Wait, back that up.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

Rewind.

SPEAKER_08 3:24

Yeah, I read it correctly. That's a big time move, Devil's Nation. We will be watching to see where she lands. In entertainment news, Alan Richardson of the TV show Reacher. Yes, that guy. Yeah, the guy with the cleft chin, has been cleared of all charges after that viral altercation with his neighbor in Brentwood, Tennessee. A headline that had everyone talking last week. Actually, the last two weeks. In closing it out, dominance in women's college basketball. Lauren Betts, the six foot-7 center for UCLA, already Defensive Player of the Year and Conference Player of the Year. Now, she can add NCAA champion to the resume. She was also, by the way, one of my fantasy dimple draftee picks this year. Now, that's how you close out a new segment. Coming up next, after this quick break, we shine the spotlight on something you might not expect. A different kind of dimple.

SPEAKER_00 4:35

Hi, cute dimples.

SPEAKER_10 4:38

Is that your best pickup line?

SPEAKER_00 4:40

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_03 5:02

SPEAKER_08 5:05

Welcome back. This is the Dimple Spotlight. And today we're talking business. More specifically, fashion. When you dress for success, you do what? You suit up, and when you suit up, what completes the look? A necktie. And what makes a tie elite, sharp, respect it? The dimple. Oh yeah. Let me share the history and importance of the tie dimple. The tie dimple became very popular in the early 20th century as men's fashion shifted toward cleaner, more detailed, more tailored looks. It's created by pinching the fabric just below the knot, adding depth, symmetry, and character to your fashion style icons, especially in Hollywood and business. Used it to signal attention to detail and confidence. And lastly, a flat tie looks unfinished. A dimpled tie, that's intentional. That's leadership. In business, details matter. And the tie dimple is a small detail, but it speaks volumes. We're going to take a quick break, but grab your pen and a piece of paper. You know what time it is. It's trivia time.

SPEAKER_02 6:42

Oh darling. When you smile at me, there's a magic in the air. Those little dimples on your cheeks.

SPEAKER_03 7:04

I could follow anywhere. Just calls me.

SPEAKER_02 7:51

So don't be done.

SPEAKER_08 8:46

It's that time. Trivia tie. Number one, what is the purpose of a tie dimple in formal fashion? A. To shorten the length of the tie. B to add texture and visual depth to the knot. C to keep the tie from wrinkling. Or D to match the color of the suit.

SPEAKER_07 9:34

The correct answer is the answer B to add texture and visual depth to the knot.

SPEAKER_08 9:45

Question number two. Which decade saw the rise of the Thai dimmo as a style standard? A eighteen nineties. B Nineteen twenties. C Nineteen fifties. Or D nineteen eighties.

SPEAKER_07 10:13

The correct answer is.

SPEAKER_08 10:17

The answer B. Question number three. The last question. What does a well-formed tie dimple symbolize in business culture? A. Rebellion and nonconformity. B casual and relaxed style. C attention to detail and confidence. Or D. Wealth and status only.

SPEAKER_07 10:49

The correct answer is the answer C.

SPEAKER_08 10:54

Attention to detail and confidence. Alright, Dimple's Nation, that's it for this segment. And you know, I like to dedicate a song to the well-deserved Dimple Spotlight. There's no need to wait. Three, two, one.

SPEAKER_09 11:18

Yeah. Stepping clean. Different kind of detail. Let's get it. Stepping on, yeah, the energy simple. Stoot lay sharp with a touch of that dimple. Stook on the chest, yeah, the knots, stay official. One small fold, make the whole fit pivotal. From the handshake bills to the lights that shimmer. Real ones know what that one move delivers. Flat tie hanging out. That ain't the ritual. Give it that pinch. Now it's looking imperial. Back in the day when the star got stricked up. And got sharper, lines got quicker. Not just fabric, it's a statement simple. Power in the form of a clean cut dimpo. It's the small things that elevate king. Just from the ones displaying. Pretend one crease, one full. I just shift everything. Now they all gotta look again. Tie with a dim book. Let it speak for itself. Confidence loud, don't need no help. From the mirror to the world, yeah, your steps so official. One small detail, make the whole fit. Now you walk that way. Sharp all day, yeah. You leave, don't play from the knot to the crown. Keep the message real simple. Stand tall, stand out. Tie it with a dimple. Die it with a dimple. Heard about a movement, yeah, it's global now. Smiles, turn power, yeah. They show you how. From a face to the fit, it's a deeper connection. Every detail speaking in your reflection. They be talking about a day with a dimple shine. Built from the ground, now it's worldwide. Graceful grade, deep with the vision in play. Turn the simple trait to a holiday. Now the culture got layers, yeah. It's more than style. From the red crop and walk to the boardroom. Out top game strong. Let the confidence ripple on the start up. I better add that bimple.

unknown 13:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 13:21

From the night to the present, from the look to the message. Details tell the story. Before you even say a word. Tie with a dimbo. Let it speak for itself. Confidence loud, don't need no help. From the river to the world. Yeah, your steps are up for show. One small detail. Make the whole fit. You walk that way. Sharp all day. Yeah, you leave, don't play from the knot to the crown. Keep the message real simple. Stand tall, stand out. Tie it with a dim boot. Listen the details. Always been full. I alright. Dimple tie. That's how you finish. That's how you finish.

SPEAKER_08 14:26

Now it's time for the dimple drop. This is where we highlight individuals who didn't just have dimples, they had presence. And today we're talking about a man who defined what is meant to look like success. He went by the name of Clark Gable. They didn't call him the King of Hollywood for nothing. Clark Gable wasn't just an actor. It is said he was the blueprint for masculine style, confidence, and command. When he walked into a room, you noticed not because he tried, but because everything about him was intentional. In fact, it's rumored that his interest in music alone made women melt. Anyway, from his cheek dimples and signature cleft chin to the way he curried himself in tailored suits, Gable understood something most people miss. Power is in the details. And one of those details? The neck tie. Gable was rarely seen without one. Whether on screen or off. He embraced the full look. Structured suits, clean lines, and yes, that perfectly formed Thai dimple. Not overdone, not forced, but just enough to show control. That dimple in the tie wasn't just style, it was discipline. It told the world, I pay attention, I prepare, I show up right. And that's why his image lasted. Not trends, not hype, standards.

SPEAKER_03 16:29

Hello.

SPEAKER_08 16:31

Claude Gable proved that when you combine presence, precision, and personality, you don't just fit in, you stand alone. It's halftime, ladies and gentlemen. You know what that means. It's poetry time.

SPEAKER_12 16:56

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 Temple report and the poetry's dimple ready.

SPEAKER_08 17:23

All right, Dimple's Nation, let me grab my shades. A thread of silk that surround a steady face, one subtle fold that sets a sharper pace. It doesn't shout, yet speaks in quiet tone. A dimpled tie where confidence is shown.

SPEAKER_10 18:16

Back dimples, oh, they shine. Every curve, every smile divine. Confidence, that's the core. Style in love, we give you more. Flaunch your dimples, there for door, do your charm at the dimple store. Every dimple, every dimple deserves to shine.

SPEAKER_04 19:22

I mean, I think I didn't know it's gonna be a small box. Where's the master show?

SPEAKER_08 20:00

It's film and TV, Dimplified. This is where I select a film or TV show led by someone with what else? Dimples. So I've decided to head to Augusta because this weekend it's all about the Masters, one of the most prestigious tournaments in golf. And here's the storyline. Could we see a three-peat of dimpled champions? Roy McElroy, Clef Chin, last year's winner, Scotty Scheffler, Cheek Dimples, winner the year before. And let's not ignore the real MVP, the most valuable product, the golf ball. Those dimples, they reduce drag and increase lift. Let me tell you, without dimples, the game changes completely. So yes, dimples don't just win smiles, they win championships. We will be right back with everyone's favorite, my fantasy dimpled draft tee.
