August 21st, a pretty insignificant date.

I mean, happy birthday to Usain Bolt. Happy birthday to Casey

Musgraves, the country music singer. Back in 1959, Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a proclamation

officially declaring Hawaii the 50th state. And that's about it for historical events, August 21st. What's up, Shannon? How are you, man?

You know, I thought I had a little bit of faith in you. I thought that you would start the show by

wishing me a happy Shannon the Dude Day. But yet you mentioned all these other insignificant things

that happened. And you didn't even mention my big day today is the day we're

celebrating everywhere having shannon the dude's bruise we're walking at least 50 feet now i know you're

not going to walk 50 miles but we're all celebrating today and uh a little disappointed in you this

morning billy that you didn't you didn't wish me a happy shan of the dude i just i don't recognize

this holiday i guess i don't mean can i get a cop day don't recognize if you want to make it a holiday. We don't recognize your little plastic trophy that you have for the haybell toss either. We don't recognize that either here. I surely recognize that haybell throwing contest. Which we're going to be competing for again pretty soon when we go back to Lebanon for Country Ham Day.
