Joaquin Phoenix Meltdown, Dog-Cruise Dreams & the Vegas Sphere 😂🌴 | Sunburnt Podcast Ep. 23

**Chip** (00:00:00:00 - 00:00:06:16): You start to get asked, you could tell, like he's just agitated and he's like, what about that match in 2006? He literally almost died. **Thomas** (00:00:06:17 - 00:00:07:08): Oh my God. **Chip** (00:00:07:09 - 00:00:14:09): And then I just realized I was like, I was like, dude, you know that wrestling isn't real, right? **Thomas** (00:00:14:09 - 00:00:15:09): It's sports entertainment. **Chip** (00:00:15:09 - 00:00:33:03): Exactly. And he gets you could just tell. He gets really angry. He takes the bowl of Skittles, dumps it back into the pound bag, throws it in his backpack, grabs his scooter, and just storms out. Holy cow. And that's literally the last time I've spoken to what Quinn Fenix. **Thomas** (00:00:33:04 - 00:00:35:17): He's known as being a wild card, but that's nuts. **Chip** (00:00:35:17 - 00:00:45:14): He's mercurial. And I would say if you ever meet Working Phoenix, do not bring a professional wrestling or it will get very, very heated. **Thomas** (00:00:45:15 - 00:00:48:20): Oh, we actually started. Yep. **Chip** (00:00:48:22 - 00:01:07:18): Okay, cut that out. Cut that out. Hey, everybody, this is the sunburnt podcast. I am your host, Chip Chantry, with my other host, Mr. Thomas O'Brien. The sunburn podcast, where we talk about comedy and tropical culture wrapped into one, one beautiful little package. And, Thomas, how are you feeling today, my friend? **Thomas** (00:01:07:18 - 00:01:09:18): I'm feeling like a beautiful little package. **Chip** (00:01:09:19 - 00:01:28:14): You are. You are a beautiful little package. Speaking of beautiful little package, I have a new Hawaiian shirt today that I'm feeling. I'm feeling very good about. This is actually, I got this a couple months ago. I just haven't debuted on the pod yet. Yeah, I just started wearing Hawaiian shirts when we did this podcast. You converted me, and I'm a total convert. I wear them constantly. Now I get smiles from people. I think we're going to talk about this in a bit, but yeah. My parents got this for my birthday a couple of months ago, not knowing that I was doing this podcast yet, because we had just started it and, they were just like, you are entering the phase in your life where you should probably start wearing Hawaiian shirts. **Thomas** (00:01:48:06 - 00:01:49:00): Yeah. **Chip** (00:01:49:02 - 00:01:50:19): And so here is our present to you. **Thomas** (00:01:50:19 - 00:01:56:17): In our hopefully not related story. My mom just bought me a funeral plot. **Chip** (00:01:56:19 - 00:02:04:00): So, there was something we did need to tell you. Thomas. I did get some results back from Quest Diagnostics. **Thomas** (00:02:04:02 - 00:02:04:17): What? **Chip** (00:02:04:18 - 00:02:17:01): Drumroll, please. That's not the time for drumroll. That's the worst time for a drumroll. We got your test results back. Let's hear the drum roll, Johnny. You know, I mean, maybe that'll be fun. **Thomas** (00:02:17:03 - 00:02:20:23): Doctor who just got a sound board. **Chip** (00:02:21:01 - 00:02:23:09): Bump, bump, along with. **Thomas** (00:02:23:11 - 00:02:27:19): We got the test results and dentro de la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la. **Chip** (00:02:27:21 - 00:02:37:02): The the lights go down. Like on the glossy floor. Just like it's the who's, who wants to be a millionaire? Like that type of thing. **Thomas** (00:02:37:04 - 00:02:45:17): Yeah. The the results game show. That is the most dramatic part of anybody's life. Serious medical results. They should make a production out of it. **Chip** (00:02:45:18 - 00:02:50:14): Singing telegram always works. Or, like, maybe like a, like a fortune cookie. **Thomas** (00:02:50:18 - 00:02:51:14): Yeah. **Chip** (00:02:51:16 - 00:03:05:15): It's just a fortune cookie. You open it up, but then it just really opens up large, and it just has all of the all of the tests on there. And you just you scroll through it and then you just had a very, very sodium, fatty, rich meal. **Thomas** (00:03:05:19 - 00:03:06:18): Yeah. **Chip** (00:03:06:19 - 00:03:09:19): Which probably isn't going to be good for your heart. **Thomas** (00:03:09:19 - 00:03:14:05): Speaking of MSG, remember when we saw this a couple weeks ago? **Chip** (00:03:14:07 - 00:03:28:00): Yes, I did also great for your heart. Where in those Hawaiians seeing those Hawaiians. Seeing those burnt ones at MSG? Yeah. It's. That's good. Going to concerts. Good for your heart. Getting test results? Not so much. **Thomas** (00:03:28:02 - 00:03:41:22): Yeah, I think I don't know how it fits in, but I also do like the idea of, like, you know, the equivalent of like, a spank train, birthday spanks, having to get a couple of wax on the tush before you get your results. I think that's fun. **Chip** (00:03:41:22 - 00:03:46:10): I just think Spank Train is the podcast title that we should have gone with. **Thomas** (00:03:46:10 - 00:04:00:01): Spank Trains a great name. This is something that actually has come up. A number of people who talked to me about the podcast, or talk to my wife or people I know, call it burnt ones. **Chip** (00:04:00:01 - 00:04:16:12): And if you're watching, this is your first time watching. We refer to people who we feel embody the island culture, especially if they're wearing a Hawaiian shirt out in the out in the wild. Yeah. And, or just, you know, they're just they're they're a guy who's live in that life, guy or gal. **Thomas** (00:04:16:12 - 00:04:18:06): Oh, there's plenty of gal burnt ones. **Chip** (00:04:18:06 - 00:04:27:22): Yeah. And we're just say, oh, he's a burnt one. She's a burnt one. And, so yeah, maybe, maybe we should have gone with burnt ones. Although it does sound a little weed heavy. **Thomas** (00:04:27:22 - 00:04:29:16): There's a lot of other connotations there. **Chip** (00:04:29:16 - 00:04:38:23): Not that we're saying that that's a lifestyle that we're not, you know, that we frown upon. Yeah, but at the same time, it's not exactly, you know, it's not what we're promoting on this podcast. **Thomas** (00:04:38:23 - 00:04:41:15): Sunburnt felt right. But burnt ones isn't bad. **Chip** (00:04:41:15 - 00:04:42:11): No, not at all. **Thomas** (00:04:42:12 - 00:04:54:16): Other ones. We thought of vacation pigs. Yes, the vacation pigs with Jeff Thomas. I still think that's fun, but they're all. There's like a travel agency called Vacation Pig. **Chip** (00:04:54:17 - 00:05:01:02): It was too close. Well, and then that goes with with mine. That was too close. That we almost used was my favorite murder. **Thomas** (00:05:01:04 - 00:05:02:02): Yeah. **Chip** (00:05:02:04 - 00:05:05:03): The I wanted to use that one. And then apparently there's already a podcast. **Thomas** (00:05:05:04 - 00:05:09:14): Which, have you seen that Netflix doc about the woman who disappeared on the cruise ship? **Chip** (00:05:09:14 - 00:05:12:09): Not yet. It's on the queue right now. **Thomas** (00:05:12:09 - 00:05:28:17): We watched it last night. Went the full three hours through, like, did Boom Boom Boom episode, episode by episode. They do a pretty good job of keeping it churning, but it's one of those things that's like, this could have been an hour, this could have been a documentary. They got to do the series thing, though. They got to stretch it out. **Chip** (00:05:28:17 - 00:05:35:22): They got to be a little dramatic. And it's like, no, just give us the hits. We're ready to go. Let's see that lady fall off the balcony. **Thomas** (00:05:35:23 - 00:05:38:14): You're thinking about America's Funniest Home Videos again. Show. **Chip** (00:05:38:19 - 00:06:07:11): It's what it is like, I think. Okay, I think that more true crime documentaries should involve they. Okay, so it's this guy. He's crazed, he lives in the woods. He comes out, he kidnaps somebody, takes them into his cabin, horrifying. And then takes one of those red oversize like Flintstone style wiffle ball bats. Yep. And just hits him right in the nuts. And then there's a boink. **Thomas** (00:06:10:03 - 00:06:10:23): That is that there's a good point, because all these documentaries get unnecessarily into like, fringe relationships. These the the victims had and, this one about the cruise ship, it goes way into like the fact that, you know, some former relationships, some people that Mr., like, really got into the crux, like reading old love letters, like that kind of stuff now. And I'm like, if if you are going to go to those lengths on that ends on the emotional on the relationship side, you should intersperse like some funny home videos. **Chip** (00:06:48:20 - 00:06:54:00): What you're saying is that more crime documentaries should include wackiness. **Thomas** (00:06:54:01 - 00:06:57:22): It should include some whacked out elements. Not that we'd know anything about that. Yep. **Chip** (00:06:57:23 - 00:07:18:21): I mean, if sports are whacked out, I will say that we know a lot about it. Hey, I think Netflix needs to hire the two of us as that team where it's like, hey, this documentary, this six part documentary about this cult in Utah is really getting dark. It's really getting heavy. We test screened it with a few people. Episodes three and four are just horrific, but we. **Thomas** (00:07:22:11 - 00:07:32:23): Do have a clip where the Grand Master gathers everybody around, tries to fart, but craps his robe and really gets embarrassed. **Chip** (00:07:33:02 - 00:07:43:15): Bam bam bam, yeah. And then we shoot, and then we just have it, like, upside down and flip it, and there's confetti and there's canned laughter, and then there's like an explosion graphic, a little. **Thomas** (00:07:43:15 - 00:07:44:05): Voiceover. **Chip** (00:07:44:06 - 00:08:06:12): Right? A little a little voiceover. Be like, you know, and also with you, I guess, you know, like something, you know, something funny that that the voice of God, literally the voice of God would say, and it would lighten it up. Imagine you and your wife, you're sitting there. It's a dark week in February. You're going to be like, all right, we're going to watch this really dark cult documentary an hour a night for four nights straight or six nights straight. And just on that Wednesday night, you're in a really deep, dark thing. And then the guy craps his pants. There's some confetti, there's laughter. It would just lighten it up. It comes out of left field. Yeah, I think we just created a new genre. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:08:23:01 - 00:08:32:23): There's going to be a whole line of true crime hosted by Steve Harvey. And, like, what we didn't know we needed was grisly murders. Steve Harvey face. **Chip** (00:08:33:04 - 00:08:58:12): Steve Harvey face where it's just like, it's a it's a brutal murder. We see that. We get the autopsy report, and then it's just Steve Harvey going, that's what the world needs. That's that's that's what it's missing from the world. I think the two of us can bring it. I'm not saying that this is the last episode of the sunburnt podcast, but I'm saying that Thomas and I are going to dedicate a lot more time to the good people at Netflix. Everybody who's making documentaries to jazz them up, make them sillier, make them funnier. If you agree, stick with us on the other side. Let's get this podcast started. Thomas. While the time is ripe again, this is the summer podcast. We bring comedy and tropical travel together. We got some burnt ones on the other side of town. Let's get let's get started. Front desk. Hi, this is Mr. Chantry in room 308. I just had some room service, and I would like to lodge a complaint. **Thomas** (00:09:25:20 - 00:09:30:20): Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm actually looking at your account. It doesn't look like you've ordered any room service. **Chip** (00:09:30:22 - 00:09:40:14): Now settle a bit for me, son. The food that's on the trays outside of someone's door in the hallway. That's free. Correct. Chip. **Thomas** (00:09:40:16 - 00:09:52:07): Episode 23 sunburn podcast, where we talk about comedy and tropical culture. 125 days closing in on four months until Chip Chantry is Thanksgiving in Paradise. **Chip** (00:09:52:07 - 00:10:12:04): Bob. All right, so for those of you who don't know, this Thanksgiving Eve, I'm going to be doing two shows at the Blue Note Jazz Club in Waikiki. Yes, Waikiki in Hawaii. Thomas and I and our loved ones are flying out to Hawaii for the week. We're going to spend a week in the fun in the sun, on some volcanoes, in some rain forest. And that's the plural forest, I believe. **Thomas** (00:10:14:11 - 00:10:18:16): For us. Yeah. And there's many, many climates there. So there's multiple rainforests. **Chip** (00:10:18:16 - 00:10:40:13): Yeah. So, we want you to come along and you might be thinking. That's crazy. No. Come to Hawaii with us this Thanksgiving. Have some fun in the sun, see a comedy show, and, have the adventure of a lifetime. And, that's what we're ramping up for it. And also, not only do we want you to come to Hawaii this Thanksgiving with us, but live that Hawaii lifestyle every day. And, Thomas, I gotta be honest with you, I have been living the tropical lifestyle more and more every single day. It started out when you did this because you were the one who really got this podcast off the ground. You were Mr. Island culture as almost as long as I've known you, you've been obsessed with it. And I have sort of tangentially been involved. And then I'm a total convert now. I have a starting to get a closet full of Hawaiians. **Thomas** (00:11:06:01 - 00:11:07:06): Hey, you're looking great, Chip. **Chip** (00:11:07:06 - 00:11:27:18): I'm trying to live that tropical lifestyle every day. I'm wearing Hawaiian shirts. I have some coming in the mail very soon that I'm very excited about. That. Yeah, we'll talk about next. Debbie and, Thomas, this past Friday, I did my show. We said in the last episode at Next in Line Comedy Club in Philadelphia. I'm running my new hour. Had a great time. I want to thank next in line comedy club, who just won best comedy club in Philadelphia. I'm a former best. I'm a former best of Philadelphia standup comedian, both in Philadelphia magazine. So I mean, it was a, it was an evening chock full of winners. And, I want to thank, Tyler Wolfe and Manny Brown, who opened the show, who were amazing, as always. And then the crowd was just great. And they came out and it was just such a nice, fun, positive vibe. They were amazing. And Thomas, I think a small part of that, but a nice percentage was the fact that for the first time ever, I wore a Hawaiian on stage. **Thomas** (00:12:07:03 - 00:12:09:00): It's a big milestone, Jeff, I. **Chip** (00:12:09:00 - 00:12:29:09): Will say this. There was a I didn't want to be that wacky 80s comedian right. Who's wearing like, okay, I I'll use the example of Weird Al, although I think Weird Al owns Hawaiian shirts and he wears them well, so I'm not disparaging him at all. Yeah, but the lesser 80s comics? Hey, I'm wacky. I'm doing this thing. That's not what I wanted to do. I just wanted to have a nice vibe. It's a shirt that I got at a, at a vintage place, and I think it just made people feel good. I, I smiled more on stage. You know me, I can be kind of dry on stage. I mean, that's kind of my thing. I can be silly, wacky, but I don't. Why? I was smiling more, and I think it was because of the shirt, and the crowd just seemed to eat it up. So, again, I'm just. I'm. I'm very excited. I got my new Hawaiian on today. It's it's great you got yours on. **Thomas** (00:13:02:14 - 00:13:19:11): We're rocking it here. And I think that is important to talk about is like how doing little touches can elevate moods, can make you happier, can make you present. So, why why don't we get a little of this going? Chip, this is how we start off all the time. This is Hawaiian Tropic, baby. **Chip** (00:13:19:12 - 00:13:27:05): We're slathering it on right now. Get my Hawaiian Tropic on. Just the smell. I. I think I'm just going to do this even in the winter. I know you do it. **Thomas** (00:13:27:05 - 00:13:30:15): My wife thinks I'm insane. I do this every day. Regardless, I'm. **Chip** (00:13:30:15 - 00:13:37:03): Going to be honest, the. I know your wife very well. She thinks you're insane. And it has very little to do with the sunblock that you apply every morning. **Thomas** (00:13:37:05 - 00:13:48:00): Oh, no. She she knows I'm insane. She's the only person that truly knows what wackiness is going on inside of my head. And she still likes me. Chip, it's, it's really a perfect match. **Chip** (00:13:48:04 - 00:13:51:11): Well, then, obviously you have not read her blog in recent days. **Thomas** (00:13:51:11 - 00:13:54:22): Oh, yeah. I'm not allowed to read the blog. That's the only thing I can't do. **Chip** (00:13:55:00 - 00:14:05:20): I want to give a shout out. I don't want to mention his name, because he revealed something to me, although I, I mean, I think it's whatever, but, if he is listening. I just had lunch with one of my old fraternity brothers yesterday. **Thomas** (00:14:05:21 - 00:14:09:15): Oh, I think I think you did mention it, though. Joaquin Phoenix. **Chip** (00:14:09:15 - 00:14:15:20): Joaquin for. Yes. Mr. Quinn. Phoenix. We went. We pledged together my pledge. My pledge. Brother Joaquin. **Thomas** (00:14:15:20 - 00:14:18:09): I can't believe you used to, but check with walking. **Chip** (00:14:18:11 - 00:14:36:20): It just, the what, though what queen feel is what it was. Nobody had, lunch with one of my fraternity brothers, and he. We haven't seen each other in years. And we got together, had a great lunch, and he revealed to me that he, in more or less, I forget his words, but he's like, yeah, I kind of went a little crazy during the pandemic. I kind of went off the deep end. Yeah. And I was like, oh, brother. Whether he was my fraternity brother or not, I would have said, oh, brother. Yeah, you are literally preaching to the choir. **Thomas** (00:14:47:06 - 00:14:47:22): Yeah. **Chip** (00:14:48:00 - 00:14:51:13): Off the deep end. Crazy is what I went during the pandemic. **Thomas** (00:14:51:13 - 00:14:55:17): The pandemic was a weird time. We talked almost every day during the pandemic. **Chip** (00:14:55:17 - 00:14:56:19): Yes. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:14:56:21 - 00:15:15:16): And we both went nuts. Yeah, we both went nuts. And I think you I mean, you were you were living in the city. City. Surrounded by just a billion people. Yeah. And I don't think that was like helping your mindset at the time. **Chip** (00:15:15:17 - 00:15:34:16): No. Like every time I heard my upstairs neighbor cough would be sent into a rage. Yeah. And you know and it's I think we talked about this on all podcast. I had that weird collapsed lung, that random thing that happened on stage and like. And so then that was like the first time I ever had something go wrong with my body. Really? Yeah. Of course. Then there's this thing, and we just went we just went crazy. And I kind of, we kind of holed up and just went inward. We, I mean, we lost our, to a certain extent, major moments in our careers. You and I had a development deal for a TV show together. We basically had a TV show sold. I don't get into all the details, but like, yeah, things were happening popping off and then that all went away too. So it's not only just like our health, our careers and this podcast is the I think just the reaction to that to a certain extent. It's like, all right. Yeah, we we went through the sadness. We went through the, the dark days. We we've tired of that. We're okay. The world is still to a certain extent in shambles right now. Maybe not health wise necessarily, but just in other ways. And we're just like, all right, we can't live like this. We are, we're going to live on an island in our minds. **Thomas** (00:16:30:12 - 00:16:37:04): We realized, to, to bury our head in the sand. First we got to get to the beach. **Chip** (00:16:37:06 - 00:16:39:17): That sweet, sweet white sand. Exactly. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:16:39:19 - 00:16:44:05): So was was that was that. It was that he went a little crazy or was there a little more to the story? **Chip** (00:16:44:06 - 00:17:00:02): Yeah. He said he went a little crazy. And I was like, yes, we went crazy. And I guess it was just the fact that this lifestyle is our answer to, yeah, we went crazy too. And we're over it. We're done. We're moving on, we're feeling good and we're living our best lives, Tommy. **Thomas** (00:17:00:02 - 00:17:13:09): We really are. And we're, It's a choice to have a little bit better time. And that's really where my. You called me. I forget what you said exactly, but, I was just a anxiety riddled television producer. **Chip** (00:17:13:10 - 00:17:13:18): Yep. **Thomas** (00:17:13:21 - 00:17:41:05): Who had a pretty stressful job. Worked insane hours. And I remember the first time I went to Hawaii, it was on the back of working two different television series at the same time. So, like, I had worked out a deal where, like, I was doing nights, some days and days, I was working seven days a week. Some of the days were 20 hours long and I did it for 30 straight days. **Chip** (00:17:41:07 - 00:17:42:02): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:17:42:04 - 00:18:17:13): 30 straight days. I was going nuts. I was eating dinner, but craft services and literally I wrapped both shows the same week. And after 30 straight days of working, I went to a Halloween party. The night after that, my friends were throwing. That was my first time cutting loose in a month. And then the next morning, me and my then girlfriend, now wife, went to Hawaii and I just like, got, I don't know, it took me three days of a four day vacation to like, sink into an actual relaxed place. And never in my life had I done anything just to relax. **Chip** (00:18:20:10 - 00:18:20:17): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:18:20:17 - 00:18:41:09): Or to enjoy. You know, just like being still, being in a nice place. Like I went places. But it was all ways to travel. This was a vacation to relax. And it jet like, I don't know, something just triggered that like, oh, I can do this more. I don't have to feel that way. I was feeling all the time and, Yeah. And that was, that was after we started working together. **Chip** (00:18:46:08 - 00:19:01:00): Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Because that, I mean, that that first show, you were still. I mean, I remember those days where you did not sleep literally for 72 hours at a time. You know, I would be the first one in the office. I would come in and I would think that I was like, oh, I'm really set in the world. And I'll be the first one in, last one out. And then you're just still there from the night before. Yeah. And I was like, oh, this isn't going well for him at all. **Thomas** (00:19:08:16 - 00:19:10:19): Yeah. It was, it was a tough run. **Chip** (00:19:10:21 - 00:19:24:12): That's pre that's pre white on us as pre white House by the way speaking of traveling places. You went somewhere this past week and I think you were I think you showed off the Hawaiian didn't you. Just like I did on stage. **Thomas** (00:19:24:14 - 00:19:42:11): Yeah. No, I had a I had a doozy of, a week with Hawaiians. The first one was, my wife and I went to the ESPYs, the sports awards. Turns out there was only sports being awarded there. Wow. But, we went to the award show. It was, at the same place they do the Academy Awards. **Chip** (00:19:42:11 - 00:19:44:16): It's the In-N-Out Burger on Sherman. Is that right? **Thomas** (00:19:44:16 - 00:19:46:11): Yes, yes, in. **Chip** (00:19:46:11 - 00:19:47:09): Beautiful Van Nuys. **Thomas** (00:19:47:09 - 00:20:08:19): In an out. It's what a hamburger is all about. But, we went to the SBS and, you got to dress up, put on the suit, do the red carpet thing, and, I just like, you know, it was it was a request, but I was like, I asked my wife if I could wear a Hawaiian shirt underneath my suit. And she was like, absolutely. **Chip** (00:20:11:05 - 00:20:11:17): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:20:11:19 - 00:20:24:05): She was like, who would you be if you didn't do that? So, walked the red carpet in a shirt for my friends. A big fun shirt company. And dude just got so many compliments. **Chip** (00:20:24:05 - 00:20:42:22): You look great. I think if this is on the YouTube show, you'll probably be putting a picture of this. If not, check us out at Sunburn Pot on Instagram. Yeah, you're going to see this sweet, sweet hair. And by the way, here's the thing. I think people think that Hawaiian shirts are wacky or whatever that can be, right? Yeah, they. **Thomas** (00:20:43:05 - 00:20:45:05): Definitely can be. I mean, it's it's a statement. **Chip** (00:20:45:06 - 00:20:55:22): This was a statement that you had that it looked stylish. It looked like it worked. It wasn't like, oh, this guy's being crazy or whatever. Like it looked like it was part of the suit. **Thomas** (00:20:55:22 - 00:20:56:14): Yeah. **Chip** (00:20:56:16 - 00:20:59:12): And there were some sea turtles involved. **Thomas** (00:20:59:12 - 00:21:00:12): Yeah. Sea turtles. **Chip** (00:21:00:12 - 00:21:01:09): It looked amazing. **Thomas** (00:21:01:10 - 00:21:06:19): It looks good. And it really did. The colors kind of worked with the suit, too. It was like a nice navy suit. **Chip** (00:21:06:19 - 00:21:13:11): And it was it was basically just white navy. So it wasn't like a thousand wacky colors. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but like, it was just it worked. **Thomas** (00:21:13:11 - 00:21:27:00): It did work. And that was part of the reason that I did it. It was like, it's a little weird because you expect a certain kind of collar to go with the suit, right? I was like a little aware that the collar had to be like, if I was going to take pictures or something had to be fluffed a little bit. **Chip** (00:21:27:00 - 00:21:31:17): I know a lot about having to be fluff before pictures are taken, so go ahead. **Thomas** (00:21:31:19 - 00:21:48:22): Before a video project. Yes, there's always part of me no matter what, if I get a compliment because I've been in so many writers rooms and, I have hung out with so many comedians, I'm always skeptical. Is this really a Byrne right? Just so many people came out. I love the I love the shirt. That's awesome. That's so cool. You know, that's so unique. A lot of a lot of folk. And I don't get people walking up and talking to me ever. **Chip** (00:21:56:06 - 00:21:57:08): Know either why I. **Thomas** (00:21:57:08 - 00:22:05:14): Put out a vibe like, I probably don't want to talk to me. Also, I will say in the middle of summer, that red carpet was outside. It was so hot. **Chip** (00:22:05:15 - 00:22:07:06): You don't want to be in a shirt and tie. **Thomas** (00:22:07:06 - 00:22:21:00): I'm sitting next to Olympians, NFL players, NBA players and they are sweating their brains out. I haven't ever talked about this publicly, but I am in slightly worse shape than some professional athletes. **Chip** (00:22:21:06 - 00:22:22:18): All right, agree to disagree, but go ahead. **Thomas** (00:22:22:23 - 00:22:43:15): Okay, so I'm just trudging down that carpet and just like it is so hot, so muggy. And everybody's just looking for like, that little sliver of shade. There was literally like a lamp post that I found that, like, kind of like gave me a little shade, and I just parked right next to that. **Chip** (00:22:43:15 - 00:22:51:23): I think I saw that picture. You kind of leaned up against it. You put one foot up and then you had a quarter that you were like just flipping over. Yeah, right. **Thomas** (00:22:52:01 - 00:23:12:10): Yeah. I was like, this is how I need Simone Biles to see me. This is how I need her to take me on. But it was, no, it was just a blast. We had the most fun afterwards. They had, like, a real deal. Afterparty. Okay. There was just so many. The scale. This thing was huge. It was huge. Ballroom. And just so many different food stations. So many different, bar stations. Everything was free. People were running around, having a really good time. So, some of my favorite athletes, maybe even overindulge. Yeah. Yeah. And some of the, some of the, libations and, also another thing I will say, I know, you know, you were entire with Shane and he came up in the same Philadelphia scene that you did. Yep. In the room. He crushed it. Everybody was going nuts. They were howling. They were laughing. It was a lot of fun. When I went back and watch the monologue on TV, I don't know what they were doing with the sound, but it sounded like nobody was laughing. **Chip** (00:24:00:14 - 00:24:01:05): Right? **Thomas** (00:24:01:07 - 00:24:04:22): Yeah. There was people, like, literally crying. Laughing. **Chip** (00:24:05:00 - 00:24:07:21): See, that's that's good to know. That is good. It's good to hear. It's good to. **Thomas** (00:24:07:21 - 00:24:18:01): Know. And then everything I read was just like, oh, he bombed. He did this. He did that. People were uncomfortable. It was like there was a little bit of uncomfortableness, but like, everybody was dying. **Chip** (00:24:18:02 - 00:24:20:02): Dude, that's kind of the point of the SBS. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:24:20:04 - 00:24:28:03): Yeah, he crashed it. He did a good job in the room. People were going nuts. It just didn't come across on the TV, which is strange. **Chip** (00:24:28:05 - 00:24:40:05): I saw a lot of articles where it's like it was so divisive. Some people loved it, some people hate it. And it's like, well, that's what they want. They want a because they want a thousand comments about how great it was or how terrible it was. **Thomas** (00:24:40:06 - 00:24:43:09): Right? It doesn't matter. There's no bad press. **Chip** (00:24:43:10 - 00:24:43:23): Right? **Thomas** (00:24:44:01 - 00:24:48:16): Yeah. I'm just saying the vibe in the room, everybody was laughing. **Chip** (00:24:48:16 - 00:24:52:10): And do you think that was partially because of your Hawaiian shirt that you were wearing? **Thomas** (00:24:52:12 - 00:25:01:12): Yeah. I mean, I think I brought a lot of positive vibes to the thing. Yeah. Like it was the same. The same, Hawaiian shirt bump you got at your show this Friday. **Chip** (00:25:01:15 - 00:25:16:09): I know, it was just. I feel like it just lighten the mood. People were feeling good in a very edgy time. I think it's. I think just more Hawaiian stuff. We weren't. We? And then you had another experience with some Hawaiians. **Thomas** (00:25:16:12 - 00:25:18:06): Oh, yeah. So that was Wednesday. You. **Chip** (00:25:18:10 - 00:25:20:06): You two week chock full of adventures. **Thomas** (00:25:20:06 - 00:25:34:17): I love to keep it moving and, very exciting, that me and my wife get to keep doing all this stuff. But it was my wife's birthday this weekend, so we went to Las Vegas because she wanted to see the, Backstreet Boys. The sphere. **Chip** (00:25:34:17 - 00:25:35:18): As you do on your birthday. **Thomas** (00:25:35:18 - 00:25:55:12): As you do on your birthday. Like, I kind of like I'm not the best at thinking ahead sometimes, but I did. I was like, what is going on around her birthday that we could, like, travel for, that we could make a big deal out of it on a weekend. Like, what is there anything special we could do? And I just saw, like, even though I know for a fact she wasn't in single. Yeah. I was like, I think this could happen. I think this could be, you know, it would seem thoughtful. It would be a nice thing to do. And, it went it was a huge hit. She was thrilled. She was, surprised. And we went there and she had the absolute best time, as did I. Like I, I didn't know what to expect going into the sphere in Las Vegas, of course, but it was incredible from a production standpoint. Like it was really great to be around. So many people were so excited about seeing the Backstreet Boys, too, like, it's been so long since they were kind of a thing in my mind that, like, I didn't know what to expect. **Chip** (00:26:35:10 - 00:26:38:02): Showing up, but I did hear and correct me if I'm. **Thomas** (00:26:38:02 - 00:26:38:10): Wrong. **Chip** (00:26:38:10 - 00:26:40:14): Yeah, back streets back. All right. **Thomas** (00:26:40:16 - 00:26:43:17): All right. Okay. Yeah. No, they they definitely are. **Chip** (00:26:43:17 - 00:26:54:22): And, by the way, and I think that's such a great gift that you got your wife. I mean, Backstreet Boys atmosphere in Vegas. My wife's birthday last year. I took her to see O-Town at a waffle House. **Thomas** (00:26:55:03 - 00:26:56:12): They were working. They were performing. **Chip** (00:26:58:03 - 00:27:00:03): They were smothered and covered. **Thomas** (00:27:00:05 - 00:27:01:13): There were so many of those bands I'm trying to remember, like. **Chip** (00:27:05:08 - 00:27:08:12): O-Town, 98 degrees in sync. **Thomas** (00:27:08:16 - 00:27:09:09): Yeah. **Chip** (00:27:09:11 - 00:27:11:00): Did we just list all of them there? **Thomas** (00:27:11:05 - 00:27:13:13): There's others. No, there was, there was, I. **Chip** (00:27:13:13 - 00:27:16:03): Mean, there's obviously new kids on the block from few years before. **Thomas** (00:27:16:04 - 00:27:31:02): New Kids on the block, which I mean, I think Backstreet Boys, have kept their chops a little bit better than New Kids on the block. I saw some videos of New Kids, and it's, you know, the moves are looking a little a little stale. **Chip** (00:27:31:06 - 00:27:52:08): And that's what I will say. There is there is just a couple years difference, I think, between you and me and our wives, maybe. And I had told my wife that you guys went to Backstreet Boys, The Sphere, and she is the New Kids fan that she went to back in the day. Like even in late, in more recent years, she has seen and keto be wow. There are no spheres involved, though. They they stay in generally rectangular theaters. **Thomas** (00:27:58:01 - 00:28:03:08): It's a different generational, entertainment geometry. **Chip** (00:28:03:09 - 00:28:09:09): Yeah. We used to go see, talkie picture half a malt, and then, watch New Kids on the block. **Thomas** (00:28:09:09 - 00:28:10:08): I love it. Did so. **Chip** (00:28:10:08 - 00:28:15:13): Anyway. But you so you were at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Were you wearing a Hawaiian to the sphere? **Thomas** (00:28:15:13 - 00:28:25:06): I did not wear a Hawaiian to the sphere. They made a special request for there to be, You know, everybody was wearing mostly whites and then some blues. **Chip** (00:28:25:08 - 00:28:26:14): Oh, they made their request. **Thomas** (00:28:26:14 - 00:28:27:07): I think so. **Chip** (00:28:27:07 - 00:28:33:03): So when they requested that, they literally said everybody and then, yeah, everybody was like, yeah. **Thomas** (00:28:33:05 - 00:28:33:22): Yeah. **Chip** (00:28:34:00 - 00:28:34:20): Okay, good. **Thomas** (00:28:34:22 - 00:28:36:23): Hey. **Chip** (00:28:37:01 - 00:28:45:11): By the way, I've just made two references to Backstreet songs and I barely know any, although I will say I believe both those references are the same song. **Thomas** (00:28:45:11 - 00:28:58:07): Yeah, I think so. I think that sounds right. And it was one of those things like, you know, you're going to a concert even if it wasn't your favorite band, if they've been around for a long time, you just kind of know you're going to know every song, like tangentially, just from being a human being. **Chip** (00:28:58:08 - 00:29:01:00): It was just in the ether. Plus your it, the sphere, the. **Thomas** (00:29:01:00 - 00:29:02:23): Sphere was sick. The sphere was unbelievable. **Chip** (00:29:03:00 - 00:29:18:16): I would go see my middle school bullies perform their dad cover band, all lyrics about how much I sucked in middle school. If it was at the sphere and I would pay hundreds of dollars to see it because it's the sphere, what. **Thomas** (00:29:18:16 - 00:29:19:20): Would that show be called? **Chip** (00:29:19:21 - 00:29:24:11): Hey, mom is a little crybaby. You'll never make the soccer team. That's the name of the band. **Thomas** (00:29:24:13 - 00:29:26:04): Yeah. **Chip** (00:29:26:06 - 00:29:33:08): Other hits that include. Where are your glasses? We hid them. Can somebody get shoved in the locker? **Thomas** (00:29:33:09 - 00:29:34:23): Bully Rock, I like it. **Chip** (00:29:34:23 - 00:29:48:01): I think bully Rock, that's the genre right there. It's just guys who used to be bullies who have now put together a middle aged cover band where they just change the lyrics and they they still make fun of people. **Thomas** (00:29:48:03 - 00:29:55:22): I love it too. Yeah. I love it. I think, I think that's where, you know, at least it's something positive. Like bullies need an outlet. **Chip** (00:29:56:00 - 00:29:56:06): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:29:56:11 - 00:29:59:21): And through the art, hopefully they get to change their perspectives. **Chip** (00:29:59:21 - 00:30:07:02): And that's what it is. We've all seen fame. You know you give them the arts. Yeah. And the corners get softened. **Thomas** (00:30:07:03 - 00:30:13:01): Arts are the Hawaiian shirts. That can be learned. **Chip** (00:30:13:03 - 00:30:17:08): Exactly. Oh, wait and speak. I don't want to get off this. So you're in Vegas? **Thomas** (00:30:17:09 - 00:30:18:11): Yeah. **Chip** (00:30:18:13 - 00:30:22:02): You're. So you didn't wear the Hawaiian there because you wore the blue and white, but. **Thomas** (00:30:22:02 - 00:30:31:15): The next morning, just threw through on a delightful Hawaiian first thing, 105 degrees on Saturday. Yep. **Chip** (00:30:31:17 - 00:30:33:20): Dry heat, baby. Dry, dry. **Thomas** (00:30:33:20 - 00:30:54:03): Heat. It was oppressive. But also, I wouldn't have it any other way. Sure. Like we're in Vegas. We were there for 48 hours. Like, crisp me up. Give me something I can't feel back home, you know? Yeah. So it was just. It was just a relaxed day. We went to the Henry and Cosmo. I don't did you ever go? We've been to the cosmopolitan together. Did we ever do breakfast at the Henry? **Chip** (00:30:58:01 - 00:30:59:12): Is he a weed dealer? **Thomas** (00:30:59:14 - 00:31:01:02): No. There's, there's a little, like, restaurant at the cosmopolitan. Right by where I one time, one almost $2,000 on a slot machine. It was a Sherlock Holmes edition. **Chip** (00:31:15:05 - 00:31:19:06): Because you are nothing if not literary with your gambling addiction. **Thomas** (00:31:19:07 - 00:31:20:09): Yeah, 100%. **Chip** (00:31:20:11 - 00:31:21:01): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:31:21:03 - 00:31:36:21): Yeah. But it was it was a big win, Chip. That was a big one. I'll never forget that one. But there's this place called the Henry, and they have a short rib eggs Benedict on the breakfast menu, and it's it's my favorite breakfast of all time. **Chip** (00:31:36:23 - 00:31:37:20): Okay. **Thomas** (00:31:37:22 - 00:31:55:16): So we hit that up. We walked around, did a little it, looked at all the shops, looked at all the things, and then in the heat, like we did that early before it got too hot. And then in the heat of the day, we just went to the pool and posted up, and had an unbelievable time. But I was wearing one of my big fine shirts, the black one. You've seen it on the, podcast before. It's fun. No less than ten people stop me dead in my tracks while I'm walking around. Just said amazing shirt. **Chip** (00:32:09:11 - 00:32:10:01): Shirt. **Thomas** (00:32:10:03 - 00:32:11:17): Great shirt. **Chip** (00:32:11:19 - 00:32:13:12): See, people were. **Thomas** (00:32:13:12 - 00:32:14:22): Killing it. **Chip** (00:32:15:00 - 00:32:26:19): And people don't like you. Generally like you. Put you in public. Yeah. And people, they they avoid eye contact at best I would say. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:32:26:21 - 00:32:50:06): And I for a long time I cultivated a vibe like I had a look like I generally don't like talking to people in public. Like I've softened a little bit at my old age. But yeah. I'm just not used to anybody having anything to say to me, just generally, but so many between the aspires and walking around Vegas, so many compliments dude. **Chip** (00:32:50:08 - 00:32:50:23): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:32:51:00 - 00:33:08:09): Really, really fun time. And one other thing I will say and then I'll get off of the trips, was, have you ever heard of the $5 Trek chip? No. Checking into a hotel. So it's the idea that if you kind of slip the person who's checking you in a fiver. **Chip** (00:33:08:11 - 00:33:09:08): Slip in a Lincoln. **Thomas** (00:33:09:08 - 00:33:18:18): Yeah, that they will give you a better room. I had never done it before. I wanted to try and do it on this trip. I. **Chip** (00:33:18:18 - 00:33:21:02): Owe the $5 trick. You're talking about. Bribery. **Thomas** (00:33:21:04 - 00:33:22:00): Bribery? Yes. **Chip** (00:33:22:00 - 00:33:23:18): Right. Okay. I've heard of bribery. Yes. **Thomas** (00:33:23:18 - 00:33:35:14): Yeah. Bribery. So I kind of checked my wallet before we walked in the hotel, saw I had some cash. And then I was like, I'm going to do it. I'm going to try this thing. **Chip** (00:33:35:19 - 00:33:36:02): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:33:36:04 - 00:33:47:21): And, when I got in there, I kind of. We were talking to the guy. I pull out my wallet, and I do a little further investigating. There's no American currency in my wallet. It is. **Chip** (00:33:48:01 - 00:33:49:18): So. **Thomas** (00:33:49:20 - 00:33:50:06): Currency. **Chip** (00:33:50:06 - 00:33:52:19): Do you have in your wallet? That's not American. **Thomas** (00:33:52:21 - 00:34:06:19): I had, some Swiss bills and I had some euros. And I have a Canadian 20, that my, cousin in law gave me for good luck one time. **Chip** (00:34:06:19 - 00:34:13:23): By the way, Canadian 20 is my nickname for Shania Twain. Ooh, yeah. So go ahead. **Thomas** (00:34:13:23 - 00:34:16:00): I live a pretty cashless existence. **Chip** (00:34:16:05 - 00:34:16:20): Okay, **Thomas** (00:34:16:22 - 00:34:30:20): I saw a little green, I was mistaken, I thought I had some cash, I did not, I went to Vegas without any, any cash. Big mistake. So I was talking to the guy, like, I have to whisper to my wife and try to be smooth about it, because I don't think other people are supposed to know. Like the bribe thing. **Chip** (00:34:31:19 - 00:34:35:08): Sure you don't announce bribery? Yeah. **Thomas** (00:34:35:10 - 00:34:56:22): I'm like Johnny Cash, and she's just like, she opens up her wallet, gets a 20, and I joke you not. I've got a 20 in my hand. Just kind of curled up. This guy's in the middle, just about to hand us our keys, and he goes. He sees it, clocks it, and goes. You know what? We have a live system here. **Chip** (00:34:57:00 - 00:34:57:19): **Thomas** (00:34:58:19 - 00:35:18:03): Let me just check and make sure there's nothing better I can do for you. Oh, and I just kind of set the 20 down in this area that, like, only he could see because there's coworkers swarming all around. I set it down. He grabbed it, and then he's like, let me just redo your keys for you. I think we found something a little better. And with the dopest room chip, it totally worked. Really. It totally worked. It was the. Not the $5 trick. It was the $20 trick. **Chip** (00:35:25:12 - 00:35:27:11): 20 American dollars. Sure. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:35:27:13 - 00:35:28:17): It was worth the 20. **Chip** (00:35:28:18 - 00:35:34:01): Okay, I'm trying that. I will say I did something similar a couple of years ago. **Thomas** (00:35:34:02 - 00:35:35:07): Okay. **Chip** (00:35:35:09 - 00:35:40:17): When I was heading to Indianapolis, I, I pulled out of Fiverr. **Thomas** (00:35:40:19 - 00:35:42:07): **Chip** (00:35:42:09 - 00:35:49:10): I think I showed it too much, though, like you're supposed. I wasn't, as you know, you know, I was, I wasn't as discreet as I should have been. **Thomas** (00:35:49:15 - 00:35:50:05): Yeah. **Chip** (00:35:50:06 - 00:36:04:01): It was at a super eight. Okay. I showed the Fiverr. Yeah. And then a trucker hit me in the back of the head with a sock full of nickels. The next thing I know, I'm in the parking lot. It's the next day. I did get a full night's sleep. **Thomas** (00:36:04:01 - 00:36:08:05): Well, that's the trucker. $5 hours worth of sock and nickels trick. **Chip** (00:36:08:10 - 00:36:12:06): That works also. Well, and I will say, the trucker not wearing a Hawaiian shirt. **Thomas** (00:36:12:06 - 00:36:22:18): No, no, the too much aggression. He would have taken it down a notch. So anyways, that was that was my, That was my weekend, man. **Chip** (00:36:22:20 - 00:36:32:15): Big weeks, buddy. Big. Yeah, it was fun. We speak at a big weeks. There's there's a bunch of, bunch a cruise news. Can we get to cruise news? **Thomas** (00:36:32:17 - 00:36:36:10): Cruise news with Chip gentry? **Chip** (00:36:36:12 - 00:36:39:17): Let's start out with the bad news. The most getting the good news. I think we got that right. **Thomas** (00:36:39:22 - 00:36:40:16): Yep. **Chip** (00:36:40:18 - 00:36:46:18): So, last week, there was a cruise heading from your town of Los Angeles. **Thomas** (00:36:46:18 - 00:36:47:23): Yep. **Chip** (00:36:48:01 - 00:36:53:01): Where's the. Where is the dock? There or the like? The port in Los Angeles. Do you know if. **Thomas** (00:36:53:01 - 00:37:00:23): You look at a map of Los Angeles, it's insane. I think it's I think it's called, the harbor of Los Angeles. **Chip** (00:37:01:01 - 00:37:04:05): Not not super creative for a for a town full of creatives. But go ahead. **Thomas** (00:37:04:05 - 00:37:09:11): LA is where you expect L.A. to be. It's like this city. It's sprawling, it's wide. **Chip** (00:37:09:11 - 00:37:10:18): Hashtag DTLa. **Thomas** (00:37:10:21 - 00:37:42:05): Fairly city shaped. And then there is just this long, skinny corridor that is all Los Angeles that goes from the big circle that is Los Angeles, straight down to the water. And it's like past Long Beach. I think it's just it's just makes no sense that this would be Los Angeles. But you have a docks in LA. There's just this crazy little corridor of land that, comes off the town just like a tail and goes to the water. **Chip** (00:37:42:06 - 00:37:44:18): Wait with this be where the Queen Mary is. **Thomas** (00:37:44:22 - 00:37:49:04): I think the Queen Mary is dock technically in Long Beach, but I don't know, maybe that is where it. **Chip** (00:37:49:05 - 00:37:50:15): Okay, well, I just thought about that. **Thomas** (00:37:50:15 - 00:38:02:16): Yeah, maybe it's part of the same thing. But, yeah, I think it's the Los Angeles Harbor or something like that. I've never, like, been there specifically, but I have seen the map and been like, that doesn't that's that doesn't look like that's how it should be, right? **Chip** (00:38:02:18 - 00:38:08:05): Right. So, if I use the technical term. Yeah. Some poor saps. **Thomas** (00:38:08:07 - 00:38:08:15): Okay. **Chip** (00:38:08:21 - 00:38:32:20): Got on this cruise ship. Yeah, from Los Angeles. Round trip to Mexico. They're hitting a couple of ports in Mexico. Coming on back, a nice little cruise, when, which they did not sign on for, there was a bit of an outbreak as you get on cruise ships, some of the tummy troubles. I don't think we need to get too much more into detail, but I think we can do that. Yeah, and, there's an outbreak on a cruise ship. Raises the alarms. That's again, I think that's my biggest fear in a cruise ship is you hear about that. **Thomas** (00:38:44:20 - 00:38:45:17): **Chip** (00:38:45:19 - 00:38:56:06): And, you know, it's like you're ready for a good vacation. You got your Hawaiian on. Yeah. And then it's just three days. And what I would assume is a very tiny cabin restroom. **Thomas** (00:38:56:12 - 00:39:01:10): It's not a great restroom. And there's motion because you're in the ocean. **Chip** (00:39:01:12 - 00:39:02:18): There is motion in the ocean. **Thomas** (00:39:02:20 - 00:39:05:11): If this restrooms are rocking. **Chip** (00:39:05:13 - 00:39:13:18): Yeah. And here's the thing. I just I mean, no offense, but I feel like a lot of when I look at somebody and I see cruise goers. **Thomas** (00:39:13:23 - 00:39:14:06): Yeah. **Chip** (00:39:14:07 - 00:39:23:04): Like that guy goes on cruises. That Venn diagram of when I look at somebody and say that guy washes his hands thoroughly. **Thomas** (00:39:23:08 - 00:39:24:14): **Chip** (00:39:24:16 - 00:39:25:12): Not in the same. **Thomas** (00:39:25:12 - 00:39:27:16): Circle, not the same circle. **Chip** (00:39:27:18 - 00:39:48:01): Very small overlap. You're in, you're in close quarters, you're at buffets, you're doing all these things, washing those hands or not. And, there was an outbreak of the tummy troubles, I will say, in the fine print, maybe they should have adjectives, just more. It was a vomit themed cruise. So I think they should have said that up front. **Thomas** (00:39:48:05 - 00:39:48:19): Yeah. **Chip** (00:39:48:21 - 00:39:56:01): That, you know, it's a vomit themed cruise. It's like, you know, rather than, you know, 80s throwback cruise. It was a. **Thomas** (00:39:56:03 - 00:39:56:16): 80s throw. **Chip** (00:39:56:17 - 00:40:13:08): They were throwing something else back. Although I will say I was I was watching this, this video about this guy talking about cruise culture and whatever, and he said that he gave the number and it was like, you know, it was a couple thousand people on this cruise, and I think it was like 150 people had symptoms. **Thomas** (00:40:13:10 - 00:40:14:03): Okay. **Chip** (00:40:14:04 - 00:40:33:23): So that's not a huge number, but it's still just there's there's paranoia and they have to go into this protocol of like, you know, hazmat and wiping everything down extra and doing whatever, which is nice. But then you're just like, I was just here. I've seen The Love Boat. I don't think there was ever the vomit, episode of Love Boat. Like, I just don't think that it's like it, like, go for never had the scoots. You're saying like, yeah, I think I think they glossed over that. But this guy was actually saying that apparently, according to the CDC, that if it hits 3% of passengers on the vessel. **Thomas** (00:40:51:13 - 00:40:52:13): Yeah. **Chip** (00:40:52:15 - 00:41:20:18): That's considered an outbreak. Okay, so a 3% of the population have symptoms, whatever the virus or whatever the disease going around that, that they do consider. So it was only maybe 3 or 4% of the people, but still that's I don't want those odds when I'm just on vacation. It's by the way, speaking of 3%, if if that's what the CDC goes by, then my years as an elementary school teacher, we were never out of outbreak, mode. Generally. **Thomas** (00:41:21:14 - 00:41:23:01): Kids are always sick. **Chip** (00:41:23:07 - 00:41:36:18): Just like just gross a chat. Just a child themed cruise would just be, I think, the unhealthiest place on Earth. Yeah, yeah. Like, just run around, pick your nose, touch everything. **Thomas** (00:41:36:19 - 00:41:41:02): They touch everything. They can't help it. It's all they want to do. Their program to explore. **Chip** (00:41:41:02 - 00:41:55:08): I think it's a good segue. I, we just wanted because, you know, touch on the bad news too much. But so there was that cruise outbreak. Whatever. I don't want a child themed cruise at all. Okay. So sorry, Disney cruise lines. But let's talk about the good news. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:41:55:09 - 00:41:56:17): Yeah. **Chip** (00:41:56:19 - 00:42:08:00): There's another theme. Cruise coming up this November, which I don't want to advertise too much because we have cheap chanterelles, Thanksgiving and Paradise in Hawaii, which is not a cruise. You just have to take an airplane there. **Thomas** (00:42:08:05 - 00:42:16:17): And look into it. There are ways to get there and do it. They're not as expensive as you think. Sunburnt podcast.com for tickets. Yeah. **Chip** (00:42:16:20 - 00:42:21:08): Summer podcast.com. Check out the website. There's information about ship generally Thanksgiving your Paradise. **Thomas** (00:42:21:13 - 00:42:21:20): Yep. **Chip** (00:42:21:23 - 00:42:48:12): But running concurrent I don't know if it's the same week, but it's it's also in November of this year. Marjorie Margaritaville at sea which first of all, talking about the original Bert one, Jimmy Buffett, James Buffett Jimmy a view ville cruise line their ship Margaritaville. Let's see this November is offering, I think, my favorite themed cruise ever. **Thomas** (00:42:48:12 - 00:42:49:15): I'm excited to hear about it. **Chip** (00:42:49:15 - 00:42:51:17): They're doing a dog friendly cruise this time. **Thomas** (00:42:51:17 - 00:42:53:19): Oh, this is right up your alley. **Chip** (00:42:53:21 - 00:42:59:03): Canines on the high seas. Okay, you can bring your. **Thomas** (00:42:59:03 - 00:43:00:11): Dog BYOB. **Chip** (00:43:00:12 - 00:43:17:12): BYOB. And now you have to be past. And there has to be, you know, obviously, the dogs have to have their shots. They also have to have some sort of certificate. They have to be, like, trained in a certain way because you don't want just a bunch of wild pack animals running around. Although I honestly, I would think that was kind of cool. Imagine just being on a luxury cruise and there is just a pack of wild dogs running around, and you never know when they're going to show up. I think that just adds a level of excitement and fear that I want on a cruise. **Thomas** (00:43:32:17 - 00:43:38:11): Yeah, just just a couple of Kenny Power style characters with, just wild wolves. **Chip** (00:43:38:13 - 00:43:40:14): Yeah. Okay. Let me ask you this, Thomas. **Thomas** (00:43:40:14 - 00:43:41:03): Yeah. **Chip** (00:43:41:05 - 00:43:48:14): For your money, you're on a cruise. Okay. Would you rather have a pack of wild dogs running or roaming? **Thomas** (00:43:48:18 - 00:43:49:06): Yep. **Chip** (00:43:49:07 - 00:43:54:22): Or a, intestinal disease outbreak? **Thomas** (00:43:55:02 - 00:43:57:16): Ooh, the dog's easy, right? **Chip** (00:43:57:18 - 00:44:06:07): See? Easy. The dog's easy. Yeah, because first of all, you can see and hear the dogs. You can't see and hear the virus being spread. **Thomas** (00:44:06:13 - 00:44:09:20): Yeah, you can see and hear where it's been. **Chip** (00:44:09:22 - 00:44:14:05): Right? Yes. You can see the. But you can't see where it's going. You can see where it's been. **Thomas** (00:44:14:11 - 00:44:14:20): Yeah. **Chip** (00:44:14:21 - 00:44:33:20): Dogs. You can hear them coming. So I think I would go dogs pack a wild dogs at any time. But these are not wild dogs. These are domesticated dogs. By the way, here's something interesting. No service dogs are allowed on this cruise. They're flipping a script. No service dogs because I think they want everything to be pet friendly, where you can literally pet them and stuff like that. So usually they allow service animals, but they just want fun vacation animals. They don't want animals that are on the clock. Thomas. They don't want working animals. This is a vacation. They don't want a dog in a vest saying, please don't pet me. They want a dog and a Hawaiian shirt that says, go ahead, rub that belly. **Thomas** (00:44:50:07 - 00:44:55:15): Oh, okay. Golden retriever in a Hawaiian shirt, I like it. **Chip** (00:44:55:17 - 00:45:15:01): I mean, I think we did learn that in later seasons, Alf decided to go with the Hawaiian shirt and some say brought the showdown. I think it was the writing. But, here's what they're going to include, amongst other things for this. So you can bring your dog. So again, they have to be trained and you have to like prove whatever is it. There's the act appropriately. They have to have their shots and right. But you are going to get for your dogs costume contests. Oh parades, dog shows. Special splash stations for the dog grooming sessions, puppy massages. And here's like, here's my favorite part. Ready for this one? That included guest speakers. **Thomas** (00:45:39:10 - 00:45:40:17): Really? **Chip** (00:45:40:19 - 00:45:58:11): Which I want to be a guest speaker on a dog themed cruise because I think it would just be a guy at a podium for 45 minutes just going, who's a good boy? Who's such a good boy, who's echo boy? And then you get paid thousands of dollars to be a guest speaker at a dog dog friendly cruise. Can we. **Thomas** (00:45:58:20 - 00:45:59:16): Get you that gig. **Chip** (00:45:59:16 - 00:46:14:12): Chip? There are there's very few things that I would put ahead up that would make me want to cancel Chip January's Thanksgiving in Paradise this Thanksgiving at, in Waikiki, being a guest speaker at a dog themed cruise. It's on that very short list. **Thomas** (00:46:14:16 - 00:46:18:01): We can't cancel. But if the dates don't overlap, if. **Chip** (00:46:18:01 - 00:46:20:19): They don't overlap, there you have it. **Thomas** (00:46:20:21 - 00:46:22:17): That's easy. **Chip** (00:46:22:19 - 00:46:30:00): Like doing, like, comedy for dogs. Like doing a comedy show, like, you know, two shows a night. Clean show. Dirty show. **Thomas** (00:46:30:00 - 00:46:32:03): Those dirty dogs there. The late night show. **Chip** (00:46:32:03 - 00:46:38:09): Here's my question though. Devil's advocate, do you think the dogs really want this. Is this for the dogs or is this for the owners. **Thomas** (00:46:38:11 - 00:46:39:18): This is not for the dogs. **Chip** (00:46:39:19 - 00:47:10:21): It's because like it's kind of like when I see people eating alfresco, they're eating out on the sidewalk at a restaurant in Philly and they have their, their Saint Bernard with them. It's like, does your dog really want to sit on the sidewalk, lie at your feet while you're having brunch? It's not really like, I love it because I can see a dog, maybe patio or whatever, but it's yeah, I feel like unless these dogs are getting some some treats or some table scraps, they don't need to be out there in the heat, sitting there, lying there while you're while you're eating. My, actually, we do that. I think one time maybe, maybe a handful of times we did with our old dog Stanley. Who was he was he wasn't so much of a dog as he was just a, he was just a stuffed animal that would move every once in a while like he was. But we took him to his bar and just have some drinks, and it was in our neighborhood. It was a beautiful night, and we're just like, well, let's just. And we were at the there's only like four tables and we were at the very last table. And then it's like a pretty wide sidewalk and it was pretty wide open. And our dog, I had him on my lap and then we, we did have a bowl of water there for him. And he was lying there. And then he just decided, we have a retractable leash that's like, you know, 15ft long or whatever. Yeah, he just walked as far away as he could down the sidewalk, and I had to hold on to the retractable leash. He didn't have anything to do with us. Would it be it was his just teenage, rebellious years where he just wanted to be away from his parents. He said, I don't want to be at your feet or on your lap while you're having some drinks and and buffalo wings. I want to be as far away as possible and he just sat there for a good part of an hour. Just a wave. Wow, everybody. Yeah. So this is for the dogs. Although I think like, I just I want to picture this like I just see a cruise ship with, like, just a dog's head out of every porthole. And that's just what they do the entire time. Yeah. Just stick their head up the portal. Little, little, little ears flapping in. **Thomas** (00:48:36:04 - 00:48:36:21): That. **Chip** (00:48:36:23 - 00:48:47:00): Wind. Yeah, I think it'd be. I think it'd be great. I think it's. And then do do the dogs get to drink like it's open bar? **Thomas** (00:48:47:05 - 00:48:47:20): Yeah. **Chip** (00:48:47:22 - 00:48:54:03): All inclusive. You let the dogs run loose, right? You do. You literally let the dogs out, right? Yeah. **Thomas** (00:48:54:03 - 00:49:03:16): And I wonder, so like, so the owners know it's a dogs cruise, but do the dogs think it's a spuds Mackenzie themed cruise? **Chip** (00:49:03:16 - 00:49:25:14): I think a Spud's Mackenzie cruise would be. That's the way to go. You want to let these dogs party ice and then just let them run around? Like, by the way, I would hope that they're reinforcing the balconies like like people fall off of cruise ships way off more often than they should. I'm just hoping there's no dogs lost at sea. Like there's some netting I'm assuming there's netting involved. **Thomas** (00:49:29:00 - 00:49:37:23): If you watched that documentary about the woman who disappeared from the cruise. Yeah. The balcony railings are high. There are high. They're hard to fall off of. **Chip** (00:49:37:23 - 00:49:42:14): Yeah. And she. But somehow she figured out how to do it. Or someone around her did do it. **Thomas** (00:49:42:14 - 00:49:58:17): It is nuts. It looks like she literally would have had to move furniture around. Okay. Step up on it to get over the balcony. So I think, I think the dogs on most of these ships will be okay balcony wise. Unless there are really active jumper. **Chip** (00:49:58:17 - 00:50:01:22): Or they slide under. The sliding under is what gets me. **Thomas** (00:50:01:22 - 00:50:06:06): This one was a solid wall until it looks like it. Till it looks like about four feet. **Chip** (00:50:06:07 - 00:50:26:18): Okay. So yeah that's. Yeah. That's not easy. So okay. All right. Good. I'm feeling better about that I think here's what I okay. Here's what I envision. You know and there's these horror stories. And this is like one of my favorite type of real horror stories where they like, just find a ship or some sort of boat, like a fishing pole or some like that in the middle of the ocean that's just abandoned. But maybe the motor still running. **Thomas** (00:50:28:10 - 00:50:29:03): Yeah. **Chip** (00:50:29:08 - 00:50:52:22): And like a couple of fishermen were reported missing and it's just the boat looks completely intact. Everything's going fine, except there's just nobody on the boat, and you're just. Yeah, that is creepy. But, like, what if you were Coast Guard or some sort of, I don't know, international waters, whatever. And you get the reports about this missing cruise ship, they can't contact anybody. You and your team climb aboard this cruise ship, this luxury cruise line. **Thomas** (00:50:56:23 - 00:50:58:10): Yeah. **Chip** (00:50:58:12 - 00:51:19:23): And it's just a couple hundred dogs. No people. The dogs are just having a good time. They're scavenging. They're. They're eating. They're at the buffet. I presume a buffet, by the way, at a dog themed cruise. A buffet is just a table full of shoes. I like shoes, but, I mean, it's the creepiest yet cutest thing in the world. Yeah, just a roaming rogue cruise ship full of puppy dogs everywhere. I think it'd be great. **Thomas** (00:51:27:08 - 00:51:40:02): It would be great. It would be unsettling, too, though. It's it's tough to here's here's a, here's a would you rather. So in this scenario you are not getting sick. Right. Okay. You you have immunity. **Chip** (00:51:40:05 - 00:51:42:00): So I would rather that one go ahead. **Thomas** (00:51:42:00 - 00:51:50:19): You know you're not getting sick but there's two different versions of it. Would you rather be on a cruise where. A 50% of the human beings get tummy troubles. Oh, God. It's the poop cruise 2.0. **Chip** (00:51:59:22 - 00:52:01:03): Sure. **Thomas** (00:52:01:05 - 00:52:07:22): Or on the dog cruise, where 50% of the dogs get uncontrollable diarrhea. **Chip** (00:52:08:00 - 00:52:10:08): Oh, people. 100% people. **Thomas** (00:52:10:10 - 00:52:13:21): Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be a sloppy deck ship. **Chip** (00:52:13:23 - 00:52:20:12): It would be a sloppy deck. People know how to handle that. And also, I'd feel much worse for the dogs than I do for the people. **Thomas** (00:52:20:14 - 00:52:21:06): Yeah. **Chip** (00:52:21:08 - 00:52:23:06): My sympathy goes out to the canines. **Thomas** (00:52:23:08 - 00:52:24:08): That's true. They don't even. **Chip** (00:52:24:08 - 00:52:26:17): She's not your average cruise goer. **Thomas** (00:52:26:19 - 00:52:33:19): That's a good point. Yeah, that is a good point. Well, is, is that everything we have from the world of cruise for the day? **Chip** (00:52:33:21 - 00:53:00:17): I, I will say I, I kept picturing just that cruise ship with just a bunch of dogs on it. Yeah, I got a couple of movie titles, I think. Oh, okay. Ocean themed, cruise themed ship themed movie titles that are that are just jarring dogs. The earbud, like. Okay. You ready? Yeah. Paul Ritz of the Caribbean. **Thomas** (00:53:00:19 - 00:53:02:00): Pirates of the Caribbean. **Chip** (00:53:02:00 - 00:53:02:23): Paul Ritz of the Caribbean. **Thomas** (00:53:03:02 - 00:53:03:23): I mean, just. **Chip** (00:53:04:01 - 00:53:08:01): It writes itself, right? Yeah. Das bark. **Thomas** (00:53:08:03 - 00:53:08:21): Oh. **Chip** (00:53:08:23 - 00:53:39:20): Das boot shirt, right? Yeah. Mutiny on the bounty. That's a double, Thomas. That's that is it's a twofer. The hound for Red October. Speed two, paw patrol. And then I think just, of course, the classic Rin Tin tan Rin Tin Titanic Rin tin to rent in Titanic, rent. How would I say that? What's the best Rin tin tannic. **Thomas** (00:53:40:01 - 00:53:41:05): Rin tin Titanic. **Chip** (00:53:41:07 - 00:53:50:19): Rin tin Titanic. By the way, I was what if okay, a Titanic remake but just full of dogs. It would be so much fun. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:53:50:23 - 00:53:52:02): Yeah, the. **Chip** (00:53:52:04 - 00:54:11:22): The ship is going down into the icy waters. We know about that. We see the people falling off, the that that sad, sad scene with the, the string quartet still playing, just people that the people stuck in tree. I think it would just if it was all dog Titanic, it would just be the ship going down. But then just hundreds of dogs jumping in and out of the water, just having the best time ever. Like jumping in, climb back up on the deck, jumping back in and out of the deck, just having a grand old time. **Thomas** (00:54:23:18 - 00:54:30:19): I think they would enjoy it. And also, side note I think Jack and Rose are both great dog names. **Chip** (00:54:30:21 - 00:54:34:15): Come a Jack. I know dogs named Jack and Rose would be. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:54:34:17 - 00:54:36:10): Good boys and girls. **Chip** (00:54:36:12 - 00:54:55:11): I think we were writing Rin Tin Tin and Titanic. Rin Tin Titanic, and it's going to be the next big hit. We're bringing back dog centered. I feel like Air Bud has gone direct to video, and I know if they've released anything in recent years, I think we are bringing the dog feature film back. You had you had Lassie. You had again, Rin Tin Tin. Yeah. Benji. **Thomas** (00:54:59:21 - 00:55:04:14): Yeah, yeah, maybe. Maybe it's just c bud. We're doing all the elements. Water bud. **Chip** (00:55:04:14 - 00:55:07:11): Air bud c but fire bud. Yeah. Right. **Thomas** (00:55:07:13 - 00:55:08:06): **Chip** (00:55:08:08 - 00:55:10:06): Yeah. Earth bud. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:55:10:08 - 00:55:34:20): That dog goes to volcano. Yeah I think I think this is ripe chip. Yeah I think this is very ripe. We'll start working on our, let's just make it animated. Just all dog crews movie I think that's great. They get to go see the tropics, tour some locations. We get into all of the different social strata on the ship. There's some high class dogs. There's some people in lower cabins, there's some gossip. There's people talking to other peoples, you know, gals. **Chip** (00:55:43:20 - 00:55:45:19): And yeah, I think. **Thomas** (00:55:45:21 - 00:55:56:16): There's definitely a dog band playing the band. There might even be a dog stand up comedian, voiced by Chip Chantry. **Chip** (00:55:56:18 - 00:56:11:12): I'm ready for it. And what about a dog again? This could be sad, but you always have this in a dog movie. Okay? One of the dogs perishes, right? The dog dies. There's that sad scene. But then two dogs that work for him hear me out. **Thomas** (00:56:11:18 - 00:56:13:18): **Chip** (00:56:13:20 - 00:56:26:08): Put some sunglasses on him and carry him around as if he's still alive. Yeah. To try to convince everybody that their dog boss is still alive even though he's perished. **Thomas** (00:56:26:13 - 00:56:27:07): We and they. **Chip** (00:56:27:09 - 00:56:31:18): Continue to enjoy themselves on the cruise for the weekend. **Thomas** (00:56:31:20 - 00:56:37:17): I love it. It sounds like high jinks about high jinks on the high seas. **Chip** (00:56:37:19 - 00:56:55:23): High jinks on the high seas. There it is. There's the tagline, our movie career. We're we're doing it, Thomas. Well, that's the set. That is the second reason why this is our the last episode of the sunburn podcast. Because we're going to write that movie. What was the first reason? I don't even remember. At the beginning of the episode, we said, we're moving on to bigger and better things. I can't remember what it is. **Thomas** (00:56:57:04 - 00:56:58:07): I don't remember either. **Chip** (00:56:58:09 - 00:57:04:13): I that's how that's how I remember it. So I guess I will rescind that. We will continue to do this podcast. **Thomas** (00:57:04:13 - 00:57:14:02): Okay. Let's keep doing the podcast. But one thing we are passionate about, one thing we are doing is we're actively saving the two of us. Yes, save double. **Chip** (00:57:14:02 - 00:57:14:23): Handedly the. **Thomas** (00:57:14:23 - 00:57:16:12): Theatrical comedy. **Chip** (00:57:16:14 - 00:57:17:14): Yes. **Thomas** (00:57:17:16 - 00:57:50:20): And this is real. This is something we're doing. You can go to sunburnt podcast.com and see this. We are encouraging people to go see comedy movies on opening weekend. And we have specified in certain cities, specific screenings that you can go to throw on your Hawaiian shirt. And if you go on by yourself, you can go with some friends, go by yourself, throw on your Hawaiian shirt, and hopefully there's going to be one screening on opening weekend that you will go into, and there'll be some other burnt ones there with you. So we're just we're setting up just and we're this we have nothing to do with this other than saying, like, taking away the thought process of like, oh, what show do I go see? And where do I go see it? We're just pointing you in a direction. We don't have anything to do with these theaters. We don't have anything to do. Like, we're not, like, setting up an event. We're just pointing you in the direction of, a screening you can go see with other burnt ones. And then we're just throwing out a suggestion of some place that would be easy to go afterwards to hang out. Potentially a tiki bar, if we can find one that looks good close to you. The ones we been to before, we can tell you are excellent, but a lot of them are just gases. But we want you to go see comedy movies, because Chip and I love them so, so much. They don't really exist anymore. There's a lot less of them than there ever has been. And we're just excited to go see some movies ourselves with you guys, and to get people out there and make it a priority to see these things in theaters, because we want them to stick around. Yeah. And the first one is coming up, not this weekend, but the weekend after. **Chip** (00:59:01:16 - 00:59:04:19): So this is the, I July 31st, August 1st. Second. **Thomas** (00:59:04:20 - 00:59:28:13): Exactly. I think we we set it up on the second. I believe that's the Saturday you can go to Saturday night and check second. Yeah, but, the reboot, I guess it's a reboot of Naked Gun. It is a big studio comedy that we hope is going to be hilarious and fun, but we want to send the message that we want more of these and we're willing to support these. So throw on your Hawaiians, go check out one of those sunburnt screenings. And let's all, let's all enjoy this movie that we can and. **Chip** (00:59:39:12 - 00:59:58:11): Go for some drinks afterwards. Yeah. So, I'm going to be seeing mine at the, at the Fashion District, which used to be the gallery and at the Fashion district right in Center City Philadelphia at 530 on Saturday, August 2nd. Get your tickets. We'll meet up. I'm going to be wearing my Hawaiian. Bring your Hawaiian or just, you know, something fun. If you don't have that Hawaiian yet, maybe go. Maybe this is your opportunity to be like, hey, I'm going to go out and buy a Hawaiian and a Hawaiian. Be ready to go. We're going to, we'll we'll find each other, come see me, and, go left the movie, and then we're going to go grab some drinks afterwards. I think we're going to go to, I, I'm pretty sure we're going. I don't I don't want to say the name just yet, but I think we're going to, one of my favorite old spots in Center City. Just a few blocks away after the 530 screening on Saturday. **Thomas** (01:00:25:04 - 01:00:47:14): I love it, buddy. And I'm going to be at the Marina del Rey. Dine in the AMC. The time will be there on the website, and we're going to have fun at Tiki Bar afterwards. It's going to be a really, really good time. But we encourage you guys and if you want to, you know, just put together one of these screenings, point us in a direction in the town you live in. Just shoot us an email. Actually shoot Chip an email chip at electric O'Brien dot com, and he will, we'll make sure we get that taken care of for you and hopefully, put it up on the website. But I'm excited about this, I can't wait. I want a bunch of people to go experience these movies together in the theater. **Chip** (01:01:07:11 - 01:01:09:13): Absolutely. **Thomas** (01:01:09:15 - 01:01:15:02): So that's that's something we're doing. That's our little part. And we also Chip and I also love horror movies. **Chip** (01:01:15:08 - 01:01:16:10): Yeah. **Thomas** (01:01:16:12 - 01:01:50:17): That same weekend, I've seen this movie, dude. You you're going to see it soon. But together, man. Together. The Dave Franco Alison Brie horror movie. It is sick, dude. It is fantastic. I'm Carrie and like, the thing that sets it apart for me is the acting like, okay, we've we've written so much material for comedians and like, you were so sensitive to, like, is this going to be possible to say funny? Like, is this going to be in their voice? Is this going to work? Because you can write a lot of jokes, and if you're not the one that's worried about delivering them, like you will do a half assed job and put out something that is either like word salad, tough to get out, just isn't funny, doesn't have a great punchline, like we just live and die by writing things that people can say, well, you were on stage too. Like you really have that pressure of like doing a good job. So, like, I'm very sensitive to when I see something that might be tough to deliver on screen. And in this movie there is like I don't know, there was ten different times where I was like that line in a lesser actor's hands would be an absolute disaster. But like Dave, Franco and Allison are such a higher caliber of actor than sometimes ed up in these movies that they are delivering these lines so well. Chip, the execution on this thing is through the roof, and I think it's like 100% of Rotten Tomatoes, really. And it's like an out there horror movie. I think it was a Sundance breakout, and after seeing it, I can see why. So that is definitely one to see too. We're going to be putting up horror movies that we think are great as part of these screening series. So I think on the Saturday that's Naked Gun, go see that. We're supporting comedies. And then if you want to see a, you know, at least a top three horror movie of the year in the theater on opening weekend, we'll put up some, some options for everybody. Go see that together on a Sunday. Beautiful view. Yeah. So we've got together and Naked Gun. It could be a big weekend for movies. Yeah. The weekend after next. **Chip** (01:03:42:06 - 01:03:44:04): Yeah. Let's do it. Let's make it happen. **Thomas** (01:03:44:10 - 01:03:47:12): We're making it happen. We're putting it on our website so it's real. **Chip** (01:03:47:12 - 01:03:50:12): It's 100% real because nothing on the internet is fake. **Thomas** (01:03:50:18 - 01:04:07:04): Absolutely not. Sunburnt podcast.com. And then you can, you can find where the movie screenings are there. Chip, what do you want to do next, buddy? Do we want to talk about the man? Mr. buffet? **Chip** (01:04:07:05 - 01:04:09:15): Let's talk about the man, I think. Okay. **Thomas** (01:04:09:17 - 01:04:16:08): The man, Mr. Jimmy Buffett. So we've got another round of Jimmy Buffett facts that you guys might not know about. **Chip** (01:04:16:08 - 01:04:17:14): You want to do your Jimmy Buffett fact? **Thomas** (01:04:17:14 - 01:04:31:00): I mean, Jimmy Buffett was a master boat captain who once docked his 54ft sailboat the euphoria two, perfectly. And Cat Stevens Buttcrack. **Chip** (01:04:31:02 - 01:04:44:07): I mean, I could see that being a difficult, difficult task because I will say, if that is true, it is quite literally a wild world. **Thomas** (01:04:44:09 - 01:04:46:04): It's tough to talk about. Have you ever tried to talk about. **Chip** (01:04:49:16 - 01:05:06:06): I mean, just a little one? Yeah. I literally this weekend, Kim and I were in FDR Park in South Philly on the lake, and they had little I mean, they weren't little, but they were they were duck pedal boats, like the little paddle boats. Paddle boats. Oh, yeah. And it was the it was a swan, you know, like this one. And I had to I had to duck a swan. And that wasn't the, the, the easiest thing in the world. So imagine a, a yacht right up the crack of Mr. Cat Stevens. **Thomas** (01:05:19:06 - 01:05:27:04): Yeah. Yeah. I can't imagine it being comfortable, but apparently he did it so gently and with so much skill that Cat Stevens couldn't even be angry. **Chip** (01:05:27:05 - 01:05:28:09): Why would you? Why would you? **Thomas** (01:05:28:09 - 01:05:32:10): It's Jimmy Buffett, it's Jimmy Buffett, dude. Hit me with a Jimmy Buffett fact. Yep. **Chip** (01:05:32:16 - 01:05:45:13): Jimmy Buffett never used an anchor while sailing. He just trained his boats to stay. **Thomas** (01:05:45:15 - 01:05:47:05): Oh. That's impressive. Chip. **Chip** (01:05:48:08 - 01:05:52:17): Yeah, I think I'm very impressed. It's Jimmy Buffett. Of course it's impressive. He is the original one. **Thomas** (01:05:52:18 - 01:05:55:09): He he really is in so many different ways. **Chip** (01:05:55:11 - 01:05:56:01): Yeah. **Thomas** (01:05:56:03 - 01:06:01:11): Let's talk world records. Let's do it. We got the good book here. Yeah. The 2025. **Chip** (01:06:01:11 - 01:06:02:12): I got mine right here. Yep. **Thomas** (01:06:02:16 - 01:06:04:03): Damn. Did I love these as a kid. **Chip** (01:06:04:03 - 01:06:05:04): It was so much fun. **Thomas** (01:06:05:04 - 01:06:07:18): I loved my Guinness book as a kid. **Chip** (01:06:07:18 - 01:06:08:20): Yeah, okay, I have. **Thomas** (01:06:08:20 - 01:06:14:16): Noticed not as many like they're they're a little more careful with what they include now. **Chip** (01:06:14:16 - 01:06:18:23): Yeah, I feel like it's, it's a little, maybe more geared. It's a little more child friendly. **Thomas** (01:06:19:00 - 01:06:20:19): It's toned down. **Chip** (01:06:20:19 - 01:06:37:16): Yeah. Here's a man from Prussia who ate seven bicycles. You know what I mean? Like, it's not that type of. Yeah, dark and dirty. It's more fun and uplifting, which, hey, whatever I'll take. Yeah, I do like the dark, dirty stuff, but this one, this is the opposite of dark and twisted. **Thomas** (01:06:37:21 - 01:06:38:14): Okay? **Chip** (01:06:38:16 - 01:06:52:07): This may be the most fun one you can get. Let's hear it's the world record for the largest inflatable bouncy castle. Ooh, yeah. So, I know you've had some issues with some bouncy castles. **Thomas** (01:06:52:07 - 01:06:56:07): Former bouncy castle owner here. Yeah, this is right up my alley. **Chip** (01:06:56:08 - 01:07:19:12): It would not fit in your alley. I will say that, Thomas. It's over 15,000ft². What? Yes, 15,000ft². It's in Karachi, Pakistan. Okay. And, by the way, the one thing I do appreciate about the Guinness Book of World Records, they use the metric system, but they also use the standard system for us dum dums. **Thomas** (01:07:19:12 - 01:07:20:19): It's very inclusive. **Chip** (01:07:20:22 - 01:07:28:01): It is very inclusive. So it's over 15,000ft². It holds up to 200 people. **Thomas** (01:07:28:03 - 01:07:29:04): Wow. **Chip** (01:07:29:06 - 01:07:33:15): Okay. I mean, just imagine the amount of freak offs you could have on this thing. Thomas. **Thomas** (01:07:33:17 - 01:07:35:05): Yeah. **Chip** (01:07:35:07 - 01:07:51:16): Okay. So it it apparently set the record in 2023. It is again, it's, I think numerous football fields. If I, if I'm getting my thing right, or at least it's a big part of a football. It is gigantic. It's over the size of a city block. **Thomas** (01:07:51:16 - 01:07:56:07): That is nuts. Dude. Is it the official palace of Pakistan? **Chip** (01:07:56:07 - 01:07:59:08): It's the official bouncy palace. I will say that. **Thomas** (01:07:59:08 - 01:08:00:00): I love it. **Chip** (01:08:00:00 - 01:08:12:10): But it's the size of a city block. And just like a city block. Thomas. It has a bouncy florist, a bouncy bank, a bouncy CVS, and three bouncy vape shops. **Thomas** (01:08:12:12 - 01:08:13:20): That's hilarious. **Chip** (01:08:13:22 - 01:08:24:15): Yeah. So, congratulations to the good people of, I hope I'm saying. Right. Karachi, Pakistan. The largest inflatable bouncy castle in the world. **Thomas** (01:08:24:18 - 01:08:31:21): I love it, dude. That's that's a great record to have. And if I was some kind of royalty, I think this is a must have for me. **Chip** (01:08:32:03 - 01:08:33:04): Yeah, yeah, I. **Thomas** (01:08:33:04 - 01:08:35:00): Think this is a must have. Like, let's really invest. **Chip** (01:08:35:00 - 01:08:38:07): That's the level of class that you and I exude. **Thomas** (01:08:38:09 - 01:08:40:10): It's the level of fun we exude. **Chip** (01:08:40:12 - 01:08:42:15): Yeah. Yeah. **Thomas** (01:08:42:16 - 01:08:57:08): So my world record and I think this is fun for a couple of reasons but and I don't even know if this is the current record. There's a section in it for some reason. That's just about 2015. Okay. Have you seen that section yet. **Chip** (01:08:57:10 - 01:08:58:17): Yes. Which is interesting. Yeah. **Thomas** (01:08:58:17 - 01:09:01:10): So this record was set in 20 2015. **Chip** (01:09:01:11 - 01:09:02:14): The year that you and I met. **Thomas** (01:09:02:14 - 01:09:03:12): Oh, that's a good point. **Chip** (01:09:03:12 - 01:09:07:20): Ten years ago almost to the day we're get we're getting close almost to the day. Yeah. **Thomas** (01:09:07:20 - 01:09:14:22): We're I mean we're right up in it. But it's most balloons blowing up in an hour period ship. **Chip** (01:09:15:02 - 01:09:16:11): Whoa. All right. **Thomas** (01:09:16:15 - 01:09:26:04): And do you have any guests in, in a 60 minutes? How many balloons were blown up by Hunter? U.N. two. **Chip** (01:09:26:04 - 01:09:26:19): Hundred. **Thomas** (01:09:26:21 - 01:09:30:03): Nine. Hunter ten, buddy 910. **Chip** (01:09:30:05 - 01:09:34:17): Almost a thousand balloons. This man must have the. I mean. **Thomas** (01:09:34:19 - 01:09:51:01): It's such a specific feeling. Have you ever, like, blown up an aircraft or, like, something like that with your mouth and just you get that excruciating tired feeling right in your jaw? Yeah. This guy Pat, I mean, like, I, I'm there at about three balloons. I'm guessing. **Chip** (01:09:51:03 - 01:09:52:04): He. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. **Thomas** (01:09:52:05 - 01:10:11:05): And this guy powered through I think the records impressive. But more than that, I think the reason why he got into this endeavor period is impressive. I think it's fun to talk about. He did it to get over a childhood fear he had of balloons. **Chip** (01:10:11:10 - 01:10:13:21): Real. This is immersive therapy here. **Thomas** (01:10:14:00 - 01:10:24:20): Exactly. It's exposure therapy. Yeah. I wanted to ask you, champ. Like what? Childhood fear. Do you think you could push through by trying to set a world record? **Chip** (01:10:24:22 - 01:10:34:12): Oh, in an hour's time. I would attempt to talk to over 900 girls. **Thomas** (01:10:34:14 - 01:10:41:07): And in that same hour's time, I would attempt to kiss 910 clowns. **Chip** (01:10:41:09 - 01:10:46:13): Still, also very out of breath. And that jaw would be hurting. **Thomas** (01:10:46:15 - 01:10:51:04): I know, and he'd have some nice cherry lips. **Chip** (01:10:51:05 - 01:10:57:15): I could see those business cards. Thomas O'Brien, world record clown kisser. Yeah, I would do business with you. **Thomas** (01:10:57:21 - 01:11:09:19): Well, I can't wait to do some business with you. And, if you're telling me the only barrier to entry is, the amount of clowns I've kissed, let's let's remedy that. We can be in business next week. **Chip** (01:11:09:21 - 01:11:12:00): And by the way, what's the name of the guy who blew up the balloons? **Thomas** (01:11:12:00 - 01:11:13:07): Hunter. Ewan. **Chip** (01:11:13:09 - 01:11:18:15): All right. Hunter. I wonder if Hunter would be able to blow up that giant bouncy castle. **Thomas** (01:11:18:16 - 01:11:31:02): I think that if I was part of the Pakistan bouncy castle, I would have a hunter.

We've talked about cruises, we've talked world records, we've talked Hawaiian shirts. I've had an amazing time. Yeah, but our time is running low, buddy. So is there anything, anything you got coming up that you want to throw out there? Or are we right now focused on movies hitting together, hit Naked Gun in the theater opening weekend? Let's support these comedies. And then heading looking forward to November. Chip Chantry is Thanksgiving in Paradise? Yeah. 125 days away. We're not joking. Come with us to Hawaii. Just take the first step. Look at what flights might cost. There are so many different options for hotels to stay at Waikiki. You could do an expensive version. You could do a much more reasonable version. You could share rooms with friends. You can get a whole suite for yourself looking right at the ocean. Either way, we're all going to be there together. Very close. Doing some beach hangs, you know, maybe some excursions around the islands. We kind of do at the same time and going to see chips, pantries, Thanksgiving, Paradise. There's two shows on the 26th of November. Escape the cold. Have a wonderful experience. Come with us. It'll be great.
