thirth no yeah one 13 marian sweet 115 right 113 maryan sweet 115 here at the summit initz Farm, where if you come here during the show, Shady Rays is giving you 50% off all shades here. How about that, man? You're not going to find a deal like that anywhere on Shades. And it's a sunny day, so you need some shades today. Absolutely. I stuck my dirty finger in my eye this morning so I could wear contact so I could get the full experience of the sunglasses.

Shannon, I'm rocking these glasses that I probably couldn't pull off.

You look like a club DJ.

Like you should have a button that goes bam, bam, bam, brawob, brawob, braw, and the smoke goes up and like, you know, glitter falls from the ceiling.

That's what you got, you're rocking the look, though.

You got to own it when you're wearing those type of sunglasses. Yeah or like laser beams might come out of my eyes like I'm at the X-Men like it's this is a this is a look that not many can pull off but you you just picked up some new shades as well. That's right. I got the UK ones. They are black and they got the UK blue on the the sides. The wayfer look. The Wayfair. Wayf wayfair yeah i got some aviators last time so now i've got the wayfair i like the wayfair look just a classic look wayfayers never go out of style well i figured you'd be more of an aviator guy like a rocker like wanting to go on stage well i've got them don't worry i'll probably rock some aviators later on tonight when we open up for ever clear which, by the way, I tickets to give away for that show I'm trying to figure out how to give away tickets I don't really have a good idea so we'll probably just do like call at the end of the show if you want them and we'll stand their quotes yeah that was an absolute debacle the last time we tried to do a contest you might remember that's why you're in charge that's right and that's why I say

keep it simple you know sometimes just keep it simple and you can't go wrong if you do it like that

now when we talk about sunglasses wearers and I'm talking about like celebrities there's some

celebrities that you never see without sunglasses sure so a few that come to mind for me, number one, Hank Jr. Have you ever seen Hank Jr. without his sunglasses? No. I haven't. Ozzy is another one. Now, Ozzy occasionally you would see him without, you know, rest in peace. You would occasionally see him without sunglasses. But Ozzy, most of the time, that classic look, had those little circular sunglasses. Yeah, I was going to say that he kind of go like bifocal. Yeah, right?

Howard Stern. That's what that was going to be my answer. Yeah. Any others? Ray Charles, I guess, obviously. Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder if you wanted to go there. Yeah. You know, eye black doesn't work as we've tested at a different remote, so you've got to have shades.

But you're right, there are some celebs that want to hide behind the sunglasses. Like I said, there's some you never see without them. I don't think I don't remember ever seeing Hank Jr. without the sunglasses. Now, like, why do you think that is? Do you think, you know. Well, I thought it was because he fell off the cliff and, like, scarred his face,

and that just kind of became his signature look with the sunglasses, like the cowboy hat and the sunglasses. Okay. I think that's right. Somebody can correct me. But if you've got other ones that you want to add to the list, you can send us the text. Yeah. 265-66-5-6 or at Billy R Sports at Shannon the dude on Twitter.

Yeah, I'm failing to think of one.

I was going to say Howard Stern because, you know, he just got let go from Sirius. Well, I saw that report, but I think that what is like the doubles in the details, right? So I think that the story actually is that his contract's up. Sirius XM is going to offer him a contract. It's unlikely that he'll take it. So that's why people are saying, or saying that he, he'd even talking about not doing the show for years. Well, he signed a $100 million deal. I mean, come on, dude. $100 million to sit down and do three days a week. You know, he's not even on the air, five days a week, And then he takes the entire summer off. That's my goal in radio is to get to...

I mean... days a week. You know, he's not even on the air five days a week, and then he takes the entire summer off.

That's my goal in radio is to get to the, well, I mean, obviously everybody's goal is to get to the Howard Stern level, but I mean to the point to where I can just come in three days a week and take off all summer. He was also, yeah, in the middle of his vacation, he had to come back and address some of these rumors. So, yeah, that would be the perfect Shannon the dude job.

Also, like, when it comes to sunglasses, you see, like, basketball players, not sunglasses, but like goggles, right? Yep. You'll see maybe some get injured and have to wear a mask or others sometimes are just rocking the bifocles. So, yeah, tonight, big night for me and Alice Bluegown, we open up forever clear. I guess I'm just going to stay here in Lexington. I was trying to figure out do I drive back to a little.

No, I'm not going to do that.

I'll just hang out here and go over to the venue i've got you and uh your lovely fiancee on the guest list so you don't have to pay to see us good all right uh when you invite me backstage what can i expect you know snacks oh it's going to be crazy sparkling water oh yeah cliff has probably ordered some champagne Cupcake Mosquito. Yeah, that's what it is., you know, snacks, fruit, sparkling water. Oh, yeah.

Cliff has probably ordered some champagne or something. Cupcake, Mascado. Yeah, that's what it is. Our rider list is vast and very, you know, very, very bougie. So you're going to see all kinds of crazy stuff if you come backstage. Oh, well, hey, yeah, what were you going to say. But you're not invited, that's what I was going to say. I'm not invited.
