Do you ever wonder who makes those chalkboard signs at Trader Joe's? Well, that's how Benjamin Soto got started—drawing Trader Joe's signs by day and designing band merch at night for Fearless Records.In 1998, Ben was recruited by Paul Frank to help kick off the massive millennial pop-culture brand Paul Frank Industries. Ben managed the brand creative for about 10 years, which meant involvement with character designs, the tee and fleece program, pajama prints, photoshoots, trade show booths, retail spaces, collaborations/licensed products. They even let him voice Julius the Monkey on the pilot show of Yo-Gabba-Gabba.In 2008, Disney Animation called and gave Ben the job of helping to create and Art Direct a cartoon based on Evel Knievel's daredevil culture. The Emmy nominated show Kick Buttowski had 52 episodes and aired between 2010-2012. Ben eventually left Disney to partner up with some other entrepreneurs to start the next creative adventure: C-Preme. They had captured "lightning in a bottle" with their 3-D youth bicycle helmet brand, Raskullz. Within three years, they had sold over 3 million helmets and countless other outdoor products. C-Preme sold to Bell Helmets (Easton Bell Sports) in 2014.Ben stayed on working for Bell Helmets until the next idea hit: a colorful cooler manufactured like a bicycle helmet. Target accepted a huge order; patents were in the works, and before the dust settled, they sold their company to Igloo Products Corp. in 2016. Ben is still at Igloo, managing creative for the cooler brand. You might've seen a little bit of Ben in the VW Playmate bus, retro coolers, eco coolers, licensed coolers, and the packaging and marketing of the brand. Igloo sold to Dometic in 2021 for a lot more money than anyone ever dreamed of.Michelle and Ben dive into Ben's amazing career, from Paul Frank to Igloo, and his extensive experience with graphic design. Ben shares stories from past trade shows (before the days of social media) and the wild ride that was Paul Frank in the early days. Michelle and Ben also discuss his transition to Disney, then Igloo, living in Hong Kong, and where Ben looks for inspiration.What's Inside:How Ben got started at Paul Frank and stories from the early days.Ben's experience working at Disney and Igloo.How Ben finds his inspiration.This week's episode is sponsored by @salesproducersinc, a progressive business to business company representing Gift, Lifestyle, Fashion, Personal Care, & Kids lines selling to retail stores with a mission to create long lasting, profitable relationships by adding significant value to our Customer, Vendor, and Team partners.

Season 8 dives into the deep end as Dangerous Dave takes on one of the most iconic films of all time — Jaws, the movie that didn't just scare audiences… it changed cinema forever.We rewind to 1975 in What Happened Way Back When, exploring the music, movies, and television shaping a world just before the blockbuster era exploded. From experimental rock and emotional pop to cult films and groundbreaking TV, the episode paints a vivid picture of the cultural landscape that Jaws would soon dominate. In a massive Dangerous Deep Dive, Dave explores the incredible story behind Jaws — from its troubled production and mechanical shark issues to **Steven Spielberg's decision to rely on suspense rather than spectacle. The episode breaks down the unforgettable performances of Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss, alongside a detailed plot summary and analysis of the film's most iconic moments. Dave also examines how Jaws created the summer blockbuster, introduced one of the most famous scores in film history, and left audiences terrified of the ocean for decades.Elsewhere in the episode:

From “Muddy Ditch” in Chiayi County, Lu Ch'ing-an (1944–2011) rose to national fame as Taiwan's Father of Motorcycle Stunts. The story starts with an apprenticeship at a local scooter repair shop, where the mechanically gifted boy fell in love with motorbikes. Still a teenager, he was inspired by the ROC Air Force's Thunder Tigers aerobatics team to start flying on two wheels. Over the next few decades, he would amaze audiences and break records. His biggest triumph came in 1983, when he jumped over 14 large buses, surpassing the mark held by Evel Knievel. Lu also undertook some punishing endurance rides, including the first motorcycle circumnavigation of Taiwan in under 24 hours. Behind the accolades and headlines, however, was the heavy physical and personal toll of crashes.

Eddie Braun reflects on a lifetime of facing fear head-on, from early inspirations to completing one of the most iconic stunt achievements in history. He explains why fear is natural, why it shouldn't be used as an excuse, and how intentional preparation transforms fear into focus. The episode challenges listeners to rethink risk, stop waiting for perfect conditions, and take meaningful action toward the things they say matter most—before fear makes the decision for them.Guest BioEddie Braun is a legendary Hollywood stuntman, stunt coordinator, and lifelong adrenaline athlete best known for successfully completing the historic rocket jump across Idaho's Snake River Canyon in 2016—accomplishing what his childhood hero, Evel Knievel, attempted but never finished. With decades of experience in film and television stunt work, Eddie is known for his disciplined approach to risk, emphasizing preparation, precision, and respect for fear rather than reckless bravado. His career and mindset offer powerful lessons on courage, perseverance, and taking purposeful action in the face of fear. GET SOCIAL WITH US!

Scott kicks things off with a holiday story involving a mall Santa and a heated debate over how many G.I. Joe jeeps Evel Knievel can clear on a stunt cycle. From there, we roll into the debut of Third Floor Assessment, where the tables turn and Scott finds himself answering the hard questions the 2300 Society cooked up.

BT & Sal have WFAN legend Steve Somers live in studio to promote his new book, Me Here, You There: My Three Decades Overnight Under the Covers Schmoozing Sports as Captain Midnight for WFAN. The conversation quickly ignites as Somers reveals unbelievable stories from the book, including: Howard Cosell getting him suspended for criticizing Cosell as a "caricature of himself." Joan Rivers calling his overnight show to recommend a cleaning lady. The painful 1975 cruise vacation where his girlfriend left him for the table's waiter (his "ship of fools" moment). His shocking first meeting with Jerry Seinfeld in a bodega. The hosts praise Somers' "crazy" edge and undeniable talent, arguing he never needed Seinfeld's celebrity, even as he details the generous emails and foreword Seinfeld contributed to the book. They also get his thoughts on everything from his favorite Rock and Roll (no "acid rock") to his younger days doing Evel Knievel-style stunts for TV in Atlanta.

While there had been a handful of women who raced motorcycles there hadn't been any female daredevils professionally jumping them - much-less upstaging the brashest stunt rider of the era on national TV. Newspapers labeled her the "female Evel Knievel," a "motorcycle madam" and "tigress on a cycle." We talk to her about how she got into jumping, how she got out and how awesome her dad was.
