Speaker 1: when you I first, they look like they were gonna
Speaker 1: feel heavy. They're super light on my face. I like
Speaker 1: it so they're nice. I dig it. This lens is
Speaker 1: what I wear the most.
Speaker 2: It's called color rush.
Speaker 1: Here you got it on. Look at that. Look at
Speaker 1: the color now I'm looking at the fish tank behind you.
Speaker 2: So when you have these color rush on, all the colors,
Speaker 2: they're just more bright.
Speaker 1: They're vibrant.
Speaker 2: Even the yellow lines on the road when you're driving,
Speaker 2: they jump out at you. You gotta see it to
Speaker 2: believe it. Go buy a Shady Rays in the Oxymore
Speaker 2: Center and check them out for yourself. But if you
Speaker 2: ever want to get a pair of Shady Rays, man,
Speaker 2: now is the time?
Speaker 1: Is it the fifteenth? This this Saturday?
Speaker 3: Yeah, this Saturday and Sunday. I'd get there Saturday.
Speaker 2: I would get there this Saturday because the deal on
Speaker 2: this is pretty spectacular. By the way, if you lose them,
Speaker 2: break them, scratch them.
Speaker 1: If they're stolen by Alex Rema.
Speaker 2: Though I just lost mine, they replaced them to get a.
Speaker 1: Get another pair. Just lost mine. I don't know where
Speaker 1: they went another pair. You're like from the Adamson thank
Speaker 1: you thing.
Speaker 2: Dave Jennings, we got you a pair as well. But wait,
Speaker 2: let's go ahead and talk about this. Though this is
Speaker 2: I would get there Saturday, because it's a trade in
Speaker 2: event where you could trade.
Speaker 3: In even if your sunglasses or even if you have
Speaker 3: one of those lesser pairs.
Speaker 1: Lesser pair like crappy pair. This is sincere. It is
Speaker 1: this is sincerely people can trade something in. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So the way it works is starting this Saturday morning.
Speaker 3: So our Oxmoor location opens at eleven am, so i'd
Speaker 3: get there at eleven am.
Speaker 4: This is called our Shady Raise Review.
Speaker 3: This is the second time we've done it. We did
Speaker 3: it once in the winter with our snow goggles. And
Speaker 3: really it's all about lost and broken, right. You shouldn't
Speaker 3: have to put a three hundred dollars pair of sunglasses
Speaker 3: on your face just to feel like the pressure of
Speaker 3: losing and breaking it. Right, So we'll take all that
Speaker 3: lost and broken stuff and we'll recycle it.
Speaker 4: We'll do the right thing.
Speaker 3: We'll send it into terra cycle and have those old
Speaker 3: materials recycled. So any pair of sunglasses, any brand, broken, scratched,
Speaker 3: are you getting an arm We'll take that and recycle
Speaker 3: it and in exchange, we're gonna give you a free
Speaker 3: pair of color Rush.
Speaker 1: What everyone has a drawer at their house that has
Speaker 1: like eleven pair of sunglasses, and everybody does. Everybody don't
Speaker 1: go there this Saturday.
Speaker 2: You're just dumb, well until you until you get shady rays,
Speaker 2: and then you put a kitchen cabinet. They no longer
Speaker 2: going the drawers. As a matter of fact, it's an
Speaker 2: amazing situation. On my mother's eyes. This is a true story.
Speaker 2: I said to Susan. It was just last week. I said,
Speaker 2: our buddy Adam has a cabinet business. We got to
Speaker 2: get Adam over here to build another shelf, seriously, because
Speaker 2: like there's not enough room.
Speaker 4: And you want to see them all, Yeah, walk.
Speaker 1: Out the door.
Speaker 2: I look at a door on color Rush with the purple.
Speaker 1: How am I feeling? Is what you're thinking of the glasses?
Speaker 1: How am I feeling? I'm gonna with these on? I
Speaker 1: like to It's that thrive.
Speaker 2: Okay, So let's talk about this trade in any pair
Speaker 2: of sunglasses. It's Saturday and Sunday, but let's face it,
Speaker 2: get their Saturday. They open at eleven am at the
Speaker 2: Oxmore Center, seventy nine hundred Shelbyville Road.
Speaker 1: I'll be there at eleven oh one.
Speaker 4: You better be there, like you've done that before.
Speaker 2: I describe color Rush.
Speaker 1: I tried my best.
Speaker 2: How do they even come up with this technology? Lindsey,
Speaker 2: because it really is amazing. When I put these on,
Speaker 2: she's sick. It's it's incredible and it's it's hard to articulate.
Speaker 1: The best way I can tell you to experience this
Speaker 1: is to experience it.
Speaker 2: Go to the Oxmore Center and try these on. You
Speaker 2: can you can order online, but if you're not going
Speaker 2: to take my word for it how spectacular the color
Speaker 2: Rush are, go by and try them on. How they
Speaker 2: even come up with this technology? I know that's a
Speaker 2: you know what she said.
Speaker 3: We always say life is boring without color Rush. It
Speaker 3: really is like not you experience it, you can't, you
Speaker 3: can't go back.
Speaker 1: No, it's like number one, it's how about a baby.
Speaker 4: That's what we're giving out color Rush.
Speaker 1: So if you bring in a pair to be recycled,
Speaker 1: then we're going to give you whenever like most premium.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, and that's what we're looking
Speaker 1: at right right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's got that color enhancing lens technology. So you just
Speaker 3: talked about looking at the logo or my red pants
Speaker 3: or whatever, and you you experience it outside inside the
Speaker 3: colors just pop to think about. Like if you're going
Speaker 3: out on the boat this summer and you want to
Speaker 3: see those vibrant colors of fish underwater, you want to
Speaker 3: see what's on the short like the reds, the greens,
Speaker 3: like they're gonna be.
Speaker 1: Like taking acid without taking ass you know what you're
Speaker 1: looking for. But you're saying that makes the world better.
Speaker 2: I believe you, right, Yeah I don't, but it does.
Speaker 2: So I wear these every every day. And my favorite
Speaker 2: lens is the Color Rush. So happy that you expand
Speaker 2: them into the av I wore my aviator Color Russia
Speaker 2: this morning. But they really do the yellow lines on
Speaker 2: the road, they pop out the light. They're brighter everything
Speaker 2: you look at it. And let me tell you, if
Speaker 2: you want to experience spring or fall colors, whoa put
Speaker 2: these Color Rush on. Man, It's it's absolutely incredible. Let's
Speaker 2: talk about shady rays. By the way, this Saturday and
Speaker 2: this Sunday. I say they're gone by Saturday.
Speaker 4: I hope so.
Speaker 3: But it's okay because if you have that junk drawer,
Speaker 3: if you have the junk drawer of your old sunglasses,
Speaker 3: any pair, bring them in because we'll recycle them. And
Speaker 3: anyone who recycles a pair. We're going to give you
Speaker 3: thirty percent off your purchase.
Speaker 2: Yeah, get thirty percent off for just bringing sunglasses out
Speaker 2: of your junk drawer, right, like, let.
Speaker 4: Us recycle them.
Speaker 3: Let us do the right thing. Keep them out of
Speaker 3: the landfill, keep them out of the trash. We'll recycle them, drawer.
Speaker 3: Keep it ye spring cleaning, spring clean upgrade.
Speaker 2: No, seriously, like he says, everybody has.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And the best thing with this though, I truly so.
Speaker 3: You're getting color rush, You're getting one of our best
Speaker 3: lens technology in this pair, and we're giving you lost
Speaker 3: and broken protection. So a lot of times, if you
Speaker 3: were to get a free pair, it won't come with
Speaker 3: that protection coverage. But because you're coming in the store,
Speaker 3: you're trading it in, you get lost and broken coverage,
Speaker 3: so you're covered an additional two times. If anything happens
Speaker 3: to this pair we're giving to you for free, you
Speaker 3: can bring it in, replace it. It's all about lost
Speaker 3: and broken, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get into.
Speaker 2: Summer or if you're hang out with Alex stolen because
Speaker 2: I had a person that too.
Speaker 1: There's just no reason not to do this because everyone
Speaker 1: has errands to run on Saturday. Yeah, and put those,
Speaker 1: put your glasses in your car and put it on
Speaker 1: your list of when and just go by and you'll
Speaker 1: probably spend thirty forty five minutes going this is really
Speaker 1: cool and walk out with an awesome pair of glasses.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I want.
Speaker 2: To talk about how great of a community partner Shady
Speaker 2: Raise is and I also want to talk about experience
Speaker 2: about me replacing mind.
Speaker 1: This was last week.
Speaker 2: So I was in the down syndrome of Louisville Fashion
Speaker 2: Show with this beautiful woman, Macy Knight. Okay, she's a
Speaker 2: member there, and I said, hey, I want to get
Speaker 2: a pair of rows to go with her rose uh
Speaker 2: aviator wasn't a pretty so but then in the meantime,
Speaker 2: the purple ones I had for my purple outfit, the
Speaker 2: lens pops out I was. I was in and out
Speaker 2: of the store. David waited on me. I was in
Speaker 2: another store maybe two minutes. It's no big deal to
Speaker 2: replace these things, right right.
Speaker 3: And I hate to say this, but in this case,
Speaker 3: you're not special, no anyone. We would have treated you
Speaker 3: with the same levels of customer service. You would have
Speaker 3: been in and out in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2: That's what we got you got your I want to
Speaker 2: talk about giving back the Raturman Brothers because it's pretty spectacular.
Speaker 2: People could just take take, take, take take, But I
Speaker 2: gotta say Shady Rays is one of the best corporate
Speaker 2: citizens that I've been around, and I want to specifically
Speaker 2: talk about where you all letting me come and be
Speaker 2: a part of this.
Speaker 1: I still have. I was awarded the Golden Hammer. There
Speaker 1: was a child.
Speaker 2: There's a child, and boy, this is a tear jerker.
Speaker 2: The kid has pediacor cancer. So number one, that's not
Speaker 2: fair for a child to go through cancer. But he
Speaker 2: was like three or four. Every three or four year
Speaker 2: old wants to go out and play with other three
Speaker 2: or four year olds on the playground.
Speaker 1: That's what you do.
Speaker 2: But because he had cancer, because he was going through
Speaker 2: the treatment, poor Jacks couldn't do this.
Speaker 1: So Shady Ray says, you.
Speaker 2: Know what we're gonna do. We're gonna build you an
Speaker 2: entire play set just for you and your family for
Speaker 2: your backyard. When I say playset, I probably have to
Speaker 2: repost pictures of this we're talking about. There's a treehouse
Speaker 2: in it, there's a sliding board and all of this.
Speaker 2: We get together. I got thank you for letting be
Speaker 2: part of this. But it was put together by all
Speaker 2: Shady Rays staff. Yep, we did it from the building
Speaker 2: and then you'd have it delivered to the child's home.
Speaker 2: Absolutely spectacular. The Radomans are just good people, right.
Speaker 3: That's awesome, that truly, truly and and things like rock
Speaker 3: solid and getting to volunteer as Shady Raids employees is
Speaker 3: I mean, what's it's what gives purpose to our work, right,
Speaker 3: I mean every day we know that we're selling great,
Speaker 3: high quality sunglasses, but every pair that is sold or
Speaker 3: purchased by our customers, that gives us more opportunity to
Speaker 3: give back to our communities. And thank you for being
Speaker 3: a part of it. Thank you for always supporting us.
Speaker 3: Of course, I'm not bitter at all that you have
Speaker 3: a golden hammer and I've done.
Speaker 1: You know, I noticed she got such a great story.
Speaker 4: Everyone you probably have a golden hammer.
Speaker 1: A that was my prison name. You know what's kind
Speaker 1: of cool is glasses? Sunglasses just make you cool, right,
Speaker 1: It's it's it's really but you guys sounds and again
Speaker 1: I'm kind of tuning into this, sounds like what you
Speaker 1: what Shady Rays and the Rattermans do do you just
Speaker 1: make the community cooler. They do.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Iline, I get it.
Speaker 1: I got a false sense of confidence. What sha listen seriously,
Speaker 1: both I put them on.

Speaker 2: So Filippe, he credits you with his very first comedy special.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were doing the thing in d C for
Speaker 1: the Hispanic Chamber of uh, you know, Hispanic Caucus, which
Speaker 1: is very different from the Bullpenis that Ethan had. But
Speaker 1: we were the Hispanic Caucus and and they were there
Speaker 1: for a big show, right, and a bunch of Latin comics.
Speaker 1: And we're in and Philippe we we were drinking and
Speaker 1: we're outside, you know, we're in Washington, d C. And
Speaker 1: he says, uh. He says, hey, man, we're just he's
Speaker 1: an old friend of mine. And he said something about
Speaker 1: something because at the time I was filming, I just
Speaker 1: filmed Red Mexican. We'd done the the uh, the Pioso
Speaker 1: Comedy Slam. All of these performers were on Showtime, Comedy
Speaker 1: Central and Netflix, and and he's in. Scott Montoya was
Speaker 1: producing them for me and directing him. And he said, man,
Speaker 1: I'd like to And I said, well, I get you
Speaker 1: a special right now. He said, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: I just called Scott and I said, hey, Scott, you
Speaker 1: know Philippe spar said they knew each other and he says, man, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I said, Philippus is ready to do a special.
Speaker 1: He Scott said, I've always loved him. I love to
Speaker 1: do a special with him. And literally that phone call
Speaker 1: got him. I've got those guys together, of course. But
Speaker 1: you know what, it's It's weird how in this business
Speaker 1: you pay it forward, you pay it for when you can,
Speaker 1: because sometimes you can't do anything for somebody. But at
Speaker 1: that moment, I had that that that push, the what
Speaker 1: did they call it? I had the and the ability
Speaker 1: to help somebody, and and I forgot about it, even
Speaker 1: told me later because of you. And philipp has done big,
Speaker 1: great things since then. So I want to get back
Speaker 1: to you. I can't take any credit for it. I
Speaker 1: won't get back to.
Speaker 2: You and ron Uh being road dogs because there'll be
Speaker 2: times when I was on morning show, y'all would call
Speaker 2: and you'd be on the way to play golf or
Speaker 2: whatever it was. But the conditions they were tough. Man
Speaker 2: starting out, when y'all we're going back and.
Speaker 1: Forth city to city.
Speaker 2: It's it's a tough life and then you have tremendous success.
Speaker 2: Do you guys ever talk about the old days and
Speaker 2: romanticized about you know what?
Speaker 1: It was just easier then, it was freer, you know
Speaker 1: it was there was there was a pressure. I think
Speaker 1: the pressure then was you want people to like you.
Speaker 1: Now the pressure is you want people to continue to
Speaker 1: like it, right, you know, there's a big difference. But
Speaker 1: either way, it's a but for me, it's a fun
Speaker 1: energy to have before a show. I genuinely care. See
Speaker 1: how I edited that that I started to say give
Speaker 1: up right right right right right yeah on the to
Speaker 1: the audience because I want them to go home and
Speaker 1: go man, that was fun. And I can't wait to
Speaker 1: give that guy my money again, or my time, not
Speaker 1: even my money. I'm going to give that guy my
Speaker 1: time because that's what That's what I promise you if
Speaker 1: you come out Friday or anytime I'm in town or anywhere,
Speaker 1: have you seen me, I'm I care about your time
Speaker 1: and uh that cherishing. I'm glad you gave it to me,
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna let you down.
Speaker 2: The show shows it too, by the way, So let's
Speaker 2: go back to the beginning again. When you start and
Speaker 2: stand up, everybody's got to start up with open mic night. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean I would imagine that's where everybody does.
Speaker 1: So to hear one of my first jokes absolutely, why
Speaker 1: is it every time you have a black car bird
Speaker 1: poop white? Have you have a black carbirds poop white?
Speaker 1: When you have a white one they poop black? And
Speaker 1: then the laughter and I'd say, and I think it's
Speaker 1: only appropriate cops get pooped on twice first show.
Speaker 2: So so when you go out and you start your
Speaker 2: doing your like that it opened mic, Yes, I do,
Speaker 2: thank you for it.
Speaker 1: By the way.
Speaker 2: So when you go out and you start doing uh
Speaker 2: open mic, what grabs you and gives you enough hope
Speaker 2: because you get like her name was no, But seriously,
Speaker 2: you put like three minutes together and then seven minutes
Speaker 2: almost like.
Speaker 1: A sexual experience. Now I can do an hour. My
Speaker 1: wife is at home going yeah right.
Speaker 2: But is that what it tastes the confidence to do
Speaker 2: three minutes and stretch to seven?
Speaker 1: And you know, I all I can what it takes
Speaker 1: is getting back up there. Yeah, And you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know how to explain. I don't know why I
Speaker 1: keep doing it, But it's it's a thrill.
Speaker 2: Was there ever a night where you turned in one
Speaker 2: that was so bad you thought, you know what, this
Speaker 2: isn't for me.
Speaker 1: Well, in the early days as an amateur, yes, and
Speaker 1: and and and now that show will happen, I don't know,
Speaker 1: hopefully not that often, but at least every three years,
Speaker 1: you know, reallything, you know where you just we're the
Speaker 1: first ones to know. We're the first ones to know
Speaker 1: when it's not going well. You know, the comic up there,
Speaker 1: it's got to be the worst feeling. Oh, it's a
Speaker 1: horrible feeling. And and I'm the first one to know
Speaker 1: when I've made a wrong turn, and I try to,
Speaker 1: you know, call an audible and figure it out. And
Speaker 1: then sometimes you're going maybe is not going bad. And
Speaker 1: usually when that's happening to me. And again, it doesn't
Speaker 1: happen often, but I'd be a fool to say it
Speaker 1: will never happen again, because that's when it'll happen, because
Speaker 1: you take it for granted. But it's it's humbling. It's humbling.
Speaker 2: You'll get the best of hecklers, but you're not mad
Speaker 2: at them. After the show, people show up and they
Speaker 2: and they'll try to they'll try to contribute to the show,
Speaker 2: but all they're doing is running for the rest of us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're never in my plan. I don't mind them,
Speaker 1: but I like to kind of escort them to a
Speaker 1: safer place, you know, where no one wants to.
Speaker 2: Kill them, right, because it's not you, it's the audience.
Speaker 1: It's the audience, and they're going. You know, even though
Speaker 1: I may perceive it as something fun, but some of
Speaker 1: the audiences like, you know what.
Speaker 2: We came to see you were at Yeah, and they're
Speaker 2: stepping on.
Speaker 1: Line yeah, and and and a lot of comedies headed
Speaker 1: that way. Where the audiences have I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: Is it tough to be married and being on the roads?
Speaker 2: I mean, you do all these West Coast date runs
Speaker 2: last hell this year, you spend months out on the
Speaker 2: West Coast and you're away from your wife.
Speaker 1: I think she likes it.
Speaker 2: My wife keeps saying you should try to stand.
Speaker 1: For long.
Speaker 2: You could be you could be Alex's manager, maybe Alex Romando's.
Speaker 2: Our guests joined them this Friday night.
Speaker 1: Mister Gee's the number one comedy, the number one showroom.
Speaker 1: I'm playing with New ideas. Everybody, are you really that
Speaker 1: in my and my wife always tells me, uh, Terry, Uh.
Speaker 1: She always says, you know, you should do that blue
Speaker 1: Angel bit. And that's a bit that was on my
Speaker 1: second comedy special and I probably have I've probably done
Speaker 1: it four times in the last five years, but I
Speaker 1: might dust that off for this weekend because she keeps
Speaker 1: she always says this, it's this great story. So what
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is, come listen to me, play
Speaker 1: with some new ideas, but maybe throw something out there.
Speaker 2: So you're not you're not politically correct. And when wotan
Speaker 2: has happened, this scared the hell out of me because
Speaker 2: because we've been dear friends for a while, but WoT
Speaker 2: this happens in every comedian, well not every most comedians
Speaker 2: adjust their act.
Speaker 1: You did not, I never have an a lot of a lot.
Speaker 2: Scared the hell out of me, though, line, because people
Speaker 2: were getting canceled left and right, and you're act.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's not poliminated. Are I'm not playing
Speaker 1: absolute woke?
Speaker 3: And uh?
Speaker 1: And I you know what I tell the true, the
Speaker 1: whole truth, and nothing but the truth according to me,
Speaker 1: you know, And usually people that come to see me.
Speaker 1: They they know me, you know, yeah somehow somewhere and
Speaker 1: they and they like. So I don't think I'm If
Speaker 1: you're coming to any comedy club, let's just say you
Speaker 1: don't know the comic. Check your ego at the door,
Speaker 1: Check your emotions, check your feelings at the door. You
Speaker 1: know what the comedy clubs are in theaters where you
Speaker 1: see stand up comedy. We're a spit valve to the
Speaker 1: rest of the what's happening in the world. We are.
Speaker 1: We are where you let that stress go. So all
Speaker 1: is fair in love, war, and comedy. We could talk
Speaker 1: about your mom my, ethnicity, your ethnicity, your gender, your
Speaker 1: your your sexuality. You know what, you'll laugh at most
Speaker 1: of it. And the time that you're not laughing that
Speaker 1: that you're upset, it's probably because it's about you. So
Speaker 1: let it go, Let it go back. There's no rules
Speaker 1: in common. It's like that in Greece. Rules is there
Speaker 1: ain't no rules.
