What's Up With The Shades?

People always seem to ask the question, "What's up with the shades?" It' pretty easy, since the dawn of film and television every star has always worn some sort of sunglasses. Duh. Nobody ever asks Brad Pitt, Bono, or Lindsey Lohan why they are wearing shades so why do they always ask us? Rob may be the only 3 letter name with the same instant recognition as Modonna and Bill, well, I mean Bill, ... uh, errrr,.... uh,... um,... well, you get the picture. Shades = Stardom. Either that or it means you have something to hide. And...to be honest, that's more likely the reason we started wearing shades. It wasn't a pre-planned "marketing strategy" it just sort of happened. Besides, Rob and Bill were the marketing "team" and the most that the duo were thinking about at the time was if they should get an apple pie with thier burger and fries.

TV That's Just Stupid Enough

As many people know, it all started at Cable Access. What most people may not know is just how that happened. Seems we were just screwing around playing with video and music and stuff down at the local Raleigh NC cable access studio, (we might have been trying to get a macro shot of a cockroach chasing down a cookie crumb in the back corner of the studio or something, who knows) when the head of the place, "Lisa the Cable Babe" as we later named her blurted out, "Hey, you guys are funny, why don't you do a cable show?" It seemed nuts to us but that's when the wheels started turning.

At the time on cable access God and the Mayor were the 2 most watched programs. Pretty stiff competition. We figured that we could be number 3 for sure. Besides, general television was filled with virtually any idiot babbling on and on about all kinds of things and we thought, "Hey, we're no worse than anyone else," and there you have it. We didn't think we were too stupid, or not stupid enough, we figured that we were just stupid enough. And so, the concept behind our show and our tag line was born. Television That's Just Stupid Enough.
