Ron Hubbard (1911-1986) - William H. Macy (1950-Still Living)THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 2023 - Vinyl records outsell CDs for the first time since 1987 in the U.S.-----Hollywood RumbleWe didn’t get to it during the show, but rock legend Gene Simmons recently told Hollywood celebrities to tone down the political sermons. Simmons called out actors like Mark Ruffalo and Ben Stiller, arguing that entertainers might want to remember why audiences originally paid attention to them in the first place — music and movies. The comments reignited the familiar debate over whether celebrities are simply exercising free speech or lecturing audiences who just came for the entertainment.-----The Last of Old HollywoodWhile the industry constantly chases the next young star, some of the biggest legends from Hollywood’s golden era are still going strong. Dick Van Dyke recently reached the century mark, while comedy icon Mel Brooks continues making appearances in his late 90s. Acting legend Eva Marie Saint has also crossed 100, and figures like Clint Eastwood and William Shatner remain active voices in their 90s. In an industry obsessed with youth, these careers are proving longevity might be the real Hollywood superpower.-----Measuring UpAnd finally, a study that had the internet doing exactly what you’d expect — comparing notes. A recent report ranked U.S. states by average penis length, with New York reportedly landing near the top at about 7.0 inches. Other states high on the list included California (≈6.9 in), Texas (≈6.8 in), Florida (≈6.8 in), and Georgia (≈6.7 in). As with many studies of this type, the data relies heavily on surveys and self-reported measurements, which means the results might say just as much about confidence as they do about anatomy. Still, the rankings quickly sparked plenty of jokes, memes, and regional bragging rights — proving once again that Americans will compete over just about anything.-----SHOW CREDITS:Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK StudioAudio credits and Producer Jason R
