World's Worst Water Parks, Vacation-Guilt & Volcano-Surf World Record 😂🌴 | Sunburnt Podcast Ep. 24

**Chip** (00:00:00:00 - 00:00:14:08): So I'm sitting in my car at the red light, and the four of them just pile in and they're like, go, go! Are you kidding me? Yeah, I'm scared to death. And they're like, aren't you our Uber driver? And I was like, no, I'm not an Uber driver. And they're like, look, we'll just give you cash. We need to get to Applebee's. We're late for a reservation. And I was like, I mean, reservation Applebee's. But I was like. And I was like, all right, fine. I'll just drive you there. They were very pleasant. And on the plus side, that's how I met the members of Ace of Base. That was ace of Base. **Thomas** (00:00:26:14 - 00:00:27:18): Like, I saw the sign? **Chip** (00:00:27:20 - 00:00:33:01): Service. Yeah. All they wanted is another baby. And apparently, some some wings. **Thomas** (00:00:33:02 - 00:00:35:05): Did you get the feeling she still wants another baby? **Chip** (00:00:35:05 - 00:00:40:06): She does? Yeah. She was. She's coming to get me. I think that I think this is. **Thomas** (00:00:40:08 - 00:01:02:06): It's a very confusing. Oh, actually we are. We're going already. Oh, hey. We're rolling. Hey, everybody, this is the Sun Burns podcast where we talk about tropical travel and comedy. To my right, this is my illustrious co-host. Amazing stand up comedian. You know him from Netflix and his amazing stand up special move closer. Chip Chantry, ladies and gentlemen. **Chip** (00:01:02:08 - 00:01:11:06): And over here to my left is the Emmy Award winning writer producer, my pal Thomas O'Brien. Tommy, we got a stacked, stacked episode today. **Thomas** (00:01:11:07 - 00:01:16:00): We are fitting 15 pounds a show into a 5 pounds sack. **Chip** (00:01:16:01 - 00:01:17:04): I believe that's the same. **Thomas** (00:01:17:05 - 00:01:21:21): Tell me how this sounds for a rundown. Okay, we're going to be talking about the world's worst water parks. **Chip** (00:01:21:21 - 00:01:22:06): Terrible. **Thomas** (00:01:22:07 - 00:01:30:11): We're going to be talking about Americans having vacation guilt. And, you know, we do where little guilt pegs, where little guilt pegs we are. **Chip** (00:01:30:12 - 00:01:31:10): You know. **Thomas** (00:01:31:11 - 00:01:39:14): You and I and the sunburnt podcast and the burnt ones, we're talking about how we're saving the theatrical comedy by going to see Naked Gun this weekend. **Chip** (00:01:39:14 - 00:01:42:22): Single handedly. Us, me and Thomas and you and you. **Thomas** (00:01:43:00 - 00:01:54:17): We're talking about the man Mr. Buffett. We've got some secret facts from his life. And we're getting back to the good book, chap. The Guinness Book of World Records. You and I have picked a couple more doozies to talk about. **Chip** (00:01:54:18 - 00:01:55:22): I'm excited. Let's just do this. **Thomas** (00:01:55:22 - 00:02:01:02): This podcast is literally it's so silly, but it's everything I love. And I love doing it with you, buddy. **Chip** (00:02:01:04 - 00:02:03:11): Let's, let's let's get into let's slam it. **Thomas** (00:02:03:11 - 00:02:10:04): If you like tropical traveling comedy, this is the sunburnt podcast. Stay tuned. Front desk. **Chip** (00:02:10:05 - 00:02:16:03): Hi, this is Mr. Chantry in room 308. I need somebody to come up and find my TV remote. **Thomas** (00:02:16:05 - 00:02:17:23): You've lost your remote? **Chip** (00:02:18:01 - 00:02:25:16): No, I hit it. And if you find it in under a minute, you get the prize. **Thomas** (00:02:25:18 - 00:02:27:21): I'll be up. **Chip** (00:02:27:23 - 00:02:29:09): Chip. **Thomas** (00:02:29:11 - 00:02:38:11): It is episode 24 of the Sunburnt podcast. We are sitting at only 118 days until Chip can't Thanksgiving and Paradise Party. **Chip** (00:02:38:12 - 00:02:57:15): It's crazy this Thanksgiving. We. When I say we, me and Thomas and you, the listener, are going to Hawaii this Thanksgiving week. I'm doing two shows at the Blue Note Jazz Club in beautiful Waikiki, Hawaii the night before Thanksgiving, and we just want to spend it with some friends, with some old friends, with some new friends. Yeah. We want you to be a part of that group. It's just it's it's like fun, positive people, which I love. **Thomas** (00:03:00:12 - 00:03:10:22): Dude, it's going to be awesome. And if you have the ability, if you can make it out, if it sounds like something that would be fun. Come on out. We're inviting you. You've been invited to Hawaii for Thanksgiving. **Chip** (00:03:10:22 - 00:03:19:15): You probably only need three vacation days. We're going to talk about vacation guilt. Yeah, but three vacation days for Thanksgiving week, probably. Yeah. Then you get, like, nine days out of it. **Thomas** (00:03:19:15 - 00:03:47:00): Yeah. You can get nine days for the two and a half to three days PTO, if that's the land you're living in. But yeah, you're invited. Consider yourself formally invited to come out to Hawaii for Thanksgiving. You're going to have some friendlies there. You're going to have a fun show you can go to on Wednesday. You get those tickets at sunburnt podcast.com or the Blue Note Hawaii website, November 26th, doing two shows so far, we're still putting together the lineup for the day. Yeah, the starting of what could become hopefully something we do for years to come. **Chip** (00:03:50:22 - 00:03:55:13): And you can get in on in year one. It's like the first Lollapalooza, you know what I mean? **Thomas** (00:03:55:14 - 00:04:09:05): Exactly. It's the first two entries, Thanksgiving and Paradise. And this is a real thing. You can go look it up online. It's happening. And I'll tell you what, Chip, the ticket resellers are already going nuts. **Chip** (00:04:09:05 - 00:04:11:05): Which is crazy. I'm being scalped. **Thomas** (00:04:11:05 - 00:04:18:13): And there's, like, 15 different sites that are listing tickets, and a lot of them are starting at over. Double. **Chip** (00:04:18:13 - 00:04:24:05): Yeah. Which really gets you do not need to buy chips, entry tickets on the dark web. Something you don't you don't need to do. **Thomas** (00:04:24:05 - 00:04:26:01): Not yet. Not if you act now. **Chip** (00:04:26:02 - 00:04:29:11): At some point you will. At some point you will have to go through back channels. **Thomas** (00:04:29:11 - 00:04:31:19): There it is. That's our little pitch for that. **Chip** (00:04:31:19 - 00:04:37:09): Let's get started, man. We have so much to do. Okay, I found an article. **Thomas** (00:04:37:09 - 00:04:38:10): Yeah I did. **Chip** (00:04:38:12 - 00:04:46:09): It's if you could just I mean, I I'm a sucker for a listicle. Thomas. Just love those lists. And so I feel. **Thomas** (00:04:46:13 - 00:04:49:03): Like every article. **Chip** (00:04:49:05 - 00:05:11:18): Yes. Lot of. Yes, a lot of articles. Yeah. A lot of it tickles. Yeah. And this one caught my eye and it's just like, I just love I just something that's so anticlimactic is I can't quote it exactly. But the article, the gist of the article was basically the title was the five best Water Parks in West Virginia. **Thomas** (00:05:11:20 - 00:05:12:14): I believe it was. **Chip** (00:05:12:16 - 00:05:13:03): Like six. **Thomas** (00:05:13:03 - 00:05:14:19): Best water parks in West Virginia. **Chip** (00:05:14:19 - 00:05:17:13): The six best water parks in West Virginia. **Thomas** (00:05:17:17 - 00:05:18:18): How is there that many? **Chip** (00:05:18:21 - 00:05:22:02): And obviously there's more. If this is the six best. **Thomas** (00:05:22:02 - 00:05:25:20): I know, that's what I'm saying. Like, how is this not just the six ranked in order? **Chip** (00:05:25:20 - 00:05:50:20): It's like the four best Arby's in Indianapolis. You're like, it's okay. I don't I don't understand why we need this right now within this news cycle. But hey. And so, hey, maybe the people of West Virginia have some great water parks. Yeah, there's high elevation there. Maybe they're utilizing the mountains. I don't know, it's I honestly, I didn't look into it too much, but I just thought it was a funny article. It's it's on vacation. Okay. It popped up on my vacation feed. **Thomas** (00:05:55:07 - 00:05:59:21): They've got you there. They know what's going to tick all chips. Chips? Papers. **Chip** (00:05:59:21 - 00:06:16:02): Exactly. So then I was thinking, okay, like, what would these be? And again, I didn't even look at it, but I thought, what would the worst water parks look like? Like what if it was a list of the worst water parks in America? Yeah. And we came we came up with a couple. **Thomas** (00:06:16:04 - 00:06:25:21): Things do not exist, but we came up with the worst water parks in America that we possibly could. Chip, let's hit it off with number six, buddy. **Chip** (00:06:26:02 - 00:06:31:23): Number six. It's James Cromwell's crazy crawdad Creek. Look who just opened a new water park. It's every child's favorite character. Actor James Cromwell. Kids love James Cromwell's work in films such as L.A. confidential, The Green Mile and, of course, the 1999 John Travolta vehicle The General's Daughter. And now James Cromwell is back with a water park, as Grand is the 2016 epic historical war drama The Promise that featured Mr. Cromwell or Uncle James Cromwell to the kids. Jamie James Cromwell is crazy. Crawdad Creek does not feature any water slides, rope swings or lazy rivers. However, James Cromwell's Crazy Crawdad Creek is an Olympic sized swimming pool with ten lanes for children of all ages to swim laps using any stroke they choose. Butterfly stroke not allowed. **Thomas** (00:07:20:11 - 00:07:23:16): I love it, I love it. The alliteration in that name. **Chip** (00:07:23:16 - 00:07:25:09): James Cromwell's crazy Crawdad Creek. **Thomas** (00:07:25:09 - 00:07:26:05): Fantastic. **Chip** (00:07:26:05 - 00:07:33:23): What child doesn't love the work of James Cromwell and would be begging their parents to go to this Olympic sized swimming pool just to swim laps? **Thomas** (00:07:33:23 - 00:07:39:01): Sounds like they get to use a lot of imagination too, which is something James brings into the world. **Chip** (00:07:39:01 - 00:07:42:06): They have to. Number five. **Thomas** (00:07:42:08 - 00:07:46:13): It's a pregnancy themed waterpark called Broken Waters. **Chip** (00:07:46:16 - 00:08:01:08): Yeah, I can see that. I can see that water slide just being very dark and then opening up into like, contraction caves. Could be a lot of fun for the kids. Not only are they getting wet and splashing in the sun, they are learning about reproduction. **Thomas** (00:08:01:08 - 00:08:04:19): And all the husbands just get to go float in the lazy river. **Chip** (00:08:04:19 - 00:08:07:11): In the lazy river smoking cigars. **Thomas** (00:08:07:13 - 00:08:08:16): Heavy with number four buddy. **Chip** (00:08:08:17 - 00:08:35:08): The number four worst waterpark in America. Buzz Bixby's all electric Waterworld. Most waterpark rides rely on boring old gravity to power their water slides and other aquatic attractions, but not Buzz Bixby's. It's the world's first ever all electric powered waterpark. Every one of our slide swings and other wet and wild attractions are powered by 30 amp, 220 lines for a blast of fun in every ride. Originally built in the mid-Sixties, buzz Bixby's wiring is still going strong, powering Zapping Splash Zone, the high voltage volcano, and the transformer tornado. And for your nighttime swimmers, every single waterslide is decorated with strings and strings of vintage Christmas lights for a wild after hours glow. And the power isn't just for the attractions. Buzz Bixby's comes equipped with high voltage power outlets at every single lounge chair in the park. Charge your phone, bring a television, or use your hairdryer at the comfort of your own lounger. Buzz. Bixby's currents are the future of water parks. **Thomas** (00:09:17:01 - 00:09:20:17): You're not supposed to mix water and electricity, chip. That sounds dangerous. **Chip** (00:09:20:21 - 00:09:22:00): Don't tell Buzz Bixby that. **Thomas** (00:09:22:01 - 00:09:31:22): Buzz Bixby don't care. And I have a feeling firsthand that this was all created by somebody who just got some very bad news from an electrician at their home. **Chip** (00:09:32:00 - 00:09:32:21): But potentially. **Thomas** (00:09:32:21 - 00:09:52:15): I'm not even going to guess what year the wiring is at your house. But it might have come in somewhere around the 60s. We'll say that's the number three worst water park in America is called. Please subscribe. Water park. It just sounds a little thirsty, doesn't it? Chip? **Chip** (00:09:52:16 - 00:10:01:02): It's the thirsty. It's water park around. It's just like my favorite ride is when you use the rope swing to smash that subscribe button. **Thomas** (00:10:01:02 - 00:10:10:09): Just the phrase please subscribe. Please subscribe. Yeah. Please subscribe. **Chip** (00:10:10:11 - 00:10:36:20): The number two worst water park in America is Saint Nick's Yuletide super slide water park. What kid doesn't love Christmas time and water Park's Saint Nick's Yuletide super slide water park brings these two things together. For the first time ever, every day is Christmas Day with Santa's Chimney, Cannonball Drop, Rudolph's River Rapids Adventure, and everyone's favorite Blitzen is breezy blast wave pool. And to keep that North Pole spirit, Saint Nick's Yuletide super Slide water park salt water is always set at 28.2°F, which is hovering right around freezing. So Merry Christmas and Happy new slides! **Thomas** (00:10:52:17 - 00:11:01:16): I like the thought of a bunch of children just watching Santa Claus rip a wedgie out of his cheeks. While wearing a Speedo. You know what I mean? **Chip** (00:11:01:16 - 00:11:04:02): All while dealing with hypothermia. **Thomas** (00:11:04:03 - 00:11:09:02): Yeah. Oh, that's, that's a chilly Willy. **Chip** (00:11:09:03 - 00:11:10:21): How about the worst water, Thomas? **Thomas** (00:11:10:21 - 00:11:16:02): The number one worst water park in America. Aren't Flo's tubes of terror? **Chip** (00:11:16:03 - 00:11:20:10): Oh, it's how this sounds like a haunted water park, Thomas. **Thomas** (00:11:20:14 - 00:11:30:13): I mean, it's seasonally. It's haunted, for sure. There's a lot of bad vibes coming through there. Yeah, that was so much fun, dude. I love coming up with crappy things with you. **Chip** (00:11:30:14 - 00:11:34:10): It's my favorite thing. We've done it for ten years. Why not keep the ball? **Thomas** (00:11:34:12 - 00:11:53:15): Keep doing it? Yeah, those are the worst water parks now we're moving on to just a real thing. People in America feel guilty even thinking about going to a water park. The caliber of an Aunt Flo's tubes of terror. Because they don't want to take the time off. **Chip** (00:11:53:17 - 00:12:05:20): They feel guilty. Thomas. Vacation guilt is a real thing in these United States of ours. So we saw another article. Americans have vacation guilt, and now we are a vacation podcast. **Thomas** (00:12:05:20 - 00:12:06:23): Yeah. **Chip** (00:12:07:01 - 00:12:22:15): And I think it's something that we've both both dealt with. Yeah. And we're trying to get over. And it's something I think that's ingrained in us as a society. But according to this article, 88% of American full time workers in the private sector get paid time off. **Thomas** (00:12:22:15 - 00:12:23:15): Oh, wow. It's really that. **Chip** (00:12:23:15 - 00:12:46:12): High. It actually is that high. Apparently they get paid time off, but it comes with some strings attached. Okay. In a 2024 Pew Research survey, nearly half of those people, nearly half those people don't take all of the days that they're given. And a lot of those people, as you know, it's not like you get to bank those vacation days, use it or lose. Oh, right. But they're given a certain amount. And, and they don't use it. Why? Because we are made to feel guilty to take vacations culturally or from our toxic work environment, from our coworkers, from our bosses, from corporate, from whatever, that it's frowned upon. You look like you're quote unquote lazy for taking the days you're you're not being a good team member because you're going off to the beach, you're going off to wherever. And so you're giving it, but you're you're really made to feel, kind of shitty about it. And, and what the article was talking about is that Americans, it was written from the perspective of a few people from overseas that came to the United States to work and like, they saw this, like they're like, what's going on here? This doesn't happen in a lot of other countries. And, Americans are like, we're focused on mental health these days. Like, everybody's talking about mental health much more, apparently, than a lot of other countries. And we think we're progressive about it's because we need it. Do you want to be like, yeah, there's some other countries that don't necessarily need all this work on mental health because they're taking some vacation. They're there literally forced to take vacations. And some of the great the U.S., apparently, is the only advanced economy that doesn't legally mandate a minimum number of vacation days. **Thomas** (00:14:12:03 - 00:14:12:20): Oh, wow. **Chip** (00:14:12:20 - 00:14:39:06): So like most other basically all other advanced nations, literally, like federally, it is required that you take ten, 15, 20 vacation days a year because they're like, yeah, let's not wear these people out. Let's keep them relatively healthy and happy. Recharge. Yeah. Focused. And, the United States has always been like, nah, let's just work him to the bone. Let's just work on the bone and we'll get some new ones, and then we'll get some robots. Probably, because robots don't take vacations. No. And it's I think we just have a we have a society of guilt. We talked about that. That sweet, sweet guilt and that work ethic. That's sort of a badge of honor. That is, it's it's a trick. Like it's I was raised you and I both were raised to be hard workers, and there's nothing wrong with that. **Thomas** (00:15:07:01 - 00:15:10:01): I don't know, I think it's I think it's very important. **Chip** (00:15:10:03 - 00:15:23:23): Right. But it's that thing of like, hey, you work for the company for those 30 years, break your back, and after three decades, you get a gold watch or a cake, and then you go play golf or whatever. **Thomas** (00:15:23:23 - 00:15:24:05): Yeah. **Chip** (00:15:24:09 - 00:15:53:11): And it's just like. But we're just we're just forced to like, go, go, go and not recharge our batteries because honestly, it it affects the bottom line of the people in charge. And if we take some days off, they're not making their, you know, they're not getting all their work out of us. Yeah. And so there is a culture, whether it's consciously or subconsciously, to make us feel bad for taking days off. **Thomas** (00:15:53:13 - 00:16:11:23): Yeah, it we know it exists. And I think it's only compounded by, you know, we were talking about paid time off, but a lot of companies have shifted to an unlimited time off, which is just like, you're never going to get any time off now. You're never like, you can take all the time you want, except you feel bad about it. You're not going to step up and do it. For the most part, some people will. **Chip** (00:16:17:05 - 00:16:18:08): But, **Thomas** (00:16:18:10 - 00:16:24:00): It really is kind of just like a trap. And also then they don't have to pay you out on those paid vacation days, right? **Chip** (00:16:24:00 - 00:16:31:14): So they say, hey, take whatever you can, but we have the Anderson account, we have this thing. We have that thing you can't do now. It's not a good time. So they say it, but then that's. **Thomas** (00:16:31:14 - 00:16:54:21): What this podcast is about, really is like the moment, we talked about this even last episode, I think. So I'm not going to go into the whole thing, but I took my first vacation after just breaking my back on, like a very strenuous run on a couple of TV shows and really found not only just like mental health, but like physical health. Yeah, became so important to me that I take some time away from the stuff just to decompress, to exist, to live, to have a life. And, it's something that until I experienced it, I didn't know I was missing it. Right. So it's like now that I have had the medicine, like, I can't pretend like the medicine doesn't exist. **Chip** (00:17:14:17 - 00:17:37:07): It's something that in the long term is beneficial because you're just going to burn out. Yeah, you're going to get bitter. You're going to get tired, you're going to get sloppy. And it's like, I like I get the bottom line thing, but it's like you need people to to come back refreshed, like excited to work again. If you if you're going to have a company and it just it doesn't make sense to me. And like I've, I've really tried to work on being more productive. **Thomas** (00:17:40:05 - 00:17:40:13): Yeah. **Chip** (00:17:40:16 - 00:18:00:03): You like you and I, we come from I came from years of teaching. We worked on TV shows. Yeah. Strenuous schedules. I work well in that situation. When we have a deadline and we have to work 12, 14 hour days. You were doing even more than that. It's it's strenuous, but I work well in those confines of, like this, this and this. I like structure. Yeah. And then when I'm doing stuff like this, the podcast with some writing projects with, with standup, it's, there's less structure. So then I feel guilty if I'm not constantly working or being productive. And then what I realized is I'm also not being productive with my relaxation. Yeah. Like real relaxing rest is productive. Like taking a few days or a few hours or whatever it is to be like, all right, today is a day off. I'm just going to recharge my batteries. I'm going to rest. I'm going to do something I love. I'm going to a hobby. I'm going to go travel somewhere that's productive, because how many times do you do that thing where you're like, hey, I need to get these things done. I'm always feeling guilty because it's like, I have this podcast, I have a couple other writing projects, I have the stand up, I'm doing some of the other things, and like, I feel like I'm robbing Peter to pay Paul, and then I'm like, oh, I should be working on the podcast, or I should be doing this thing. And then sometimes, like, I'll sit there and I'll be looking at my phone or whatever, and I'm like, that's not relaxing. Like if I would have just said, like, all right, Tuesday afternoon, I'm just going to take for myself and I'm just going to relax. And then I come back Wednesday morning, like ready to hit the ground running. And I. And you don't do it because we have this. I think it's this guilt of like, I can't take any time off. I'm a I'm a bad worker. **Thomas** (00:19:23:23 - 00:19:45:16): I think that's true. And there is a lot of time that like, we pretend like we are taking a break or whatever, and it's just it's not meaningful. It's not doing anything specifically for you. It's just kind of like, no, you're just passing time in a different way while not being productive as well. But when you take those specific breaks, I like that you're talking about that. And it was something that also, I don't know, it was easier for me to see once I got to like the management portion of my career. Was how much people thrive if you kind of care about their life outside as much as you do about the work inside. Sure. When we worked on our shows, like I tried to create an environment was that was different than the one I came up in. It was like very important for me that like, people have. **Chip** (00:20:11:05 - 00:20:34:06): Normal hours. We were the Comedy Garage, Tommy. Yeah, like that was we were the Comedy Garage. We literally worked in a kind of a warehouse. Yeah. And Friday afternoons were for Starbucks and, hanging out, and we got our work done. But no, that was it was a prescribed bed. We generally knew when we were coming in, when we were going out, that was very important. And, it wasn't that grind. And I think we were productive because we knew our what we were, we felt respected. We knew what we were doing was right. And then we had that time to go home, recharge, come back ready to go. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:20:48:06 - 00:21:07:13): And then if there was like life stuff that came up during the week, like I didn't feel like most of the time people had a lot of respect for life stuff that came up in my life, if it conflicted with their work schedule. But I just tried to leave some space for that and nobody took. I mean, people could have taken advantage, but nobody ever did. And if they planned ahead especially, we could figure out how to cover them. And everyone would come together and cover each other so that, you know, they could take a break when they needed it or go, you know, when their, their parents came into town, could be gone for a day. It yeah, it really does change just the mood of the whole place. I think when people are feel like the people in charge care about them enough to like, you know, want to protect some of those things if they can. Yeah. So, yeah, I mean, it's it's no surprise. It's definitely the way the world is to a certain extent. **Chip** (00:21:41:20 - 00:21:56:01): It's the way the country is because I think a lot of people in the world are doing that. Like they take that like over in Europe, like they're taking the summer off, or they're taking a month off at a time to travel or whatever. And I think that that's, a timing. I think that's what we need to do. We need to make that movement here. And we're doing that movement this Thanksgiving, by the way. Yeah. Take a couple days off. Come with us. That's what that's what we're trying to do. **Thomas** (00:22:04:11 - 00:22:36:15): Well, and it feels like it's not possible. But I will say, like, the first vacation I ever took that was like a vacation. Vacation was to Hawaii. And I did not plan it. Like, literally, I bought, airplane flights, me and my girlfriend to a different location that fell through, for a couple of different reasons. We shifted to, we were going to thinking about going to Mexico, and then we bought tickets there, and then that area, like some unsafe stuff happened, like the week we booked the tickets and we shifted to Hawaii. And it was something I never thought about putting resources or time to, like, just going someplace and laying on a beach and, traveling around an island. But once I got there, it was just, you know, it it changed me. And that's what we talk about. Burnt ones, those who have thought about or felt the tropical sun and had been transformed by it. **Chip** (00:22:57:04 - 00:22:57:17): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:22:57:19 - 00:23:22:00): Just kind of see the world a little bit differently. So, yeah, that's it. Like, it's possible you can do all these things. It's not, you know, free and you might have to make some sacrifices or save up a little bit or, figure a couple of things out. But a lot of times we have more agency over how we spend our time and how we spend our days than we think we do. And, part of it is the system that is, is just taught us, like even when you have on a spreadsheet, days that you have earned off to be paid for, the 40% of us won't take those days. **Chip** (00:23:38:18 - 00:23:39:09): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:23:39:11 - 00:23:50:10): If we won't even take the days that, like the system allows us, you know, we are in a situation where we've been brainwashed and kind of a little bit of a weird way. **Chip** (00:23:50:11 - 00:23:59:05): I we we really are. That's, that's what is kind of grounded to us. I'll tell you one thing. If you're not going to take all of your vacation days, I'll take em for you. Given me. If you're not going to use them, I'll gladly take them from you. So feel free to. I don't know if it's a Venmo situation. I don't know if you can Venmo a vacation day. **Thomas** (00:24:10:02 - 00:24:14:02): Can Venmo the, you know, money value of vacation day. **Chip** (00:24:14:05 - 00:24:25:00): Yeah, I guess you could. But yeah, I want that day, though. So I want you to just somehow send me that day. Gift me that day off and I'll take it I because I need it. **Thomas** (00:24:25:02 - 00:24:37:20): Jim needs it. And speaking of guilt, have you ever woken up from a dream and just felt so relieved because you did something to feel guilty about in that dream? **Chip** (00:24:37:22 - 00:24:58:01): Oh, I don't think I have ever had a dream where I have been chased by somebody who's like, trying to murder me like an ax murderer. Yeah, that. But I've had many a dream where I have murdered somebody. Yeah, and now I'm trying to get away with it. Oh. 100. Yes, many, many. **Thomas** (00:24:58:01 - 00:25:19:08): Times. It's such a weird phenomenon to wake up and just have the biggest wave of relief wash over your whole body that's been sleeping. Supposed to be the most restful portion of your life. Yeah. And you just, like, have that immediate wave of relief of like, oh, I didn't kill my best friend with a tractor. **Chip** (00:25:19:10 - 00:25:40:13): Right? It's here's why I never understood people who complain about having nightmares. Like maybe a child. Sure. Yeah. Adult. And you're like, I should have these nightmares. And, like, again, if you got some emotional baggage, there's a past or something like that. Sure. Great. Yeah, like, I understand that. But for your average Joe who's like, he's like, I had the worst dream. That's like, good. Then you wake that feeling of relief should negate all of that. It's what's way worse is like having a wonderful dream where everything's going great, and then you wake up in your life. Yeah. That's awful. That's the worst. Yeah. Where it's just like, oh, my God, things are going great. Oh, no, it's just me again. **Thomas** (00:25:59:20 - 00:26:10:22): And now yeah, that's the dichotomy. It's like when it's when a Thursday feels like a Friday. And then you got to like, that's what. But when a Friday feels like a Thursday. **Chip** (00:26:11:00 - 00:26:12:17): It's a good it's a good feel. **Thomas** (00:26:12:17 - 00:26:15:20): It's a good feel. And then you just dance on into the weekend. **Chip** (00:26:15:21 - 00:26:34:11): It is. So it's like that negative that turns into a positive is much better than the positive. It turns a negative. I think that's why I think that's why I love horror movies. That's why I love true crime documentaries. That's why I love just watching footage and documentaries about natural disasters. **Thomas** (00:26:34:15 - 00:26:37:04): And that's why we love our wives. **Chip** (00:26:37:06 - 00:26:57:11): Exactly. Because you turn it off and then we're back to our blissful, wonderful lives. Yeah, all that horrible things, they happened. And now I get to move away from that in my great life and have a cookie. Yeah. You know, it's just it's it's much different. Yeah, but I, I, I enjoy a good nightmare. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:26:57:13 - 00:27:00:17): A little salt can make the sweets stand out. You know. **Chip** (00:27:00:18 - 00:27:02:14): You need the sea salt for the caramel to. **Thomas** (00:27:02:14 - 00:27:08:23): Pop. We absolutely do. And speaking of pop, that makes me think of popcorn. That makes me think of movie theaters. **Chip** (00:27:08:23 - 00:27:10:21): We are free associating right now, Thomas. **Thomas** (00:27:10:21 - 00:27:12:22): We're seeing Naked Gun this weekend. **Chip** (00:27:12:22 - 00:27:15:19): Saturday, August 2nd. Yep. I think I get the date right. **Thomas** (00:27:15:19 - 00:27:50:01): Yeah, that feels right. That feels right. That's right in the wheelhouse. We're going this Saturday. Sunburnt podcast.com. We've set up a couple of different, screenings to point, us and the burnt ones to and different locations. It's just a fun opportunity to save the theatrical comedy because we miss him so much. Some of our best memories of all time, you know, as people who ended up getting into comedy as a profession, we just have these moments in the theaters, watching these comedies with other people that it's just it's just some of the best memories I have. And oh, yeah, a lot of young people aren't getting that opportunity because there's just so many fewer comedies, there's so many fewer huge comedy stars, there's so many fewer just silly, wacky movies that people get to go see in the theaters. And when they do come out, when Hollywood gives us something, we're not sure if it's going to be good or not yet. We hope it's going to be fantastic. But when Hollywood gives us something that feels like it's in a bullseye for us, we're going whole hog into it. And, we want you guys to come with us because it's fun to see these shows or see these movies in a packed theater, especially. **Chip** (00:28:28:20 - 00:28:48:23): With a group of friends. Like, I'm just very excited about that. To see some people. I have a group coming this Saturday at 530. Yeah. In, in Center City Philly. We're going to, a little theater to see The Naked Gun. We have. You have a group in LA. There's a group in Chicago going. We have some Nebraska people who are going, so it's like we're starting a movement and this is our first one. I'm excited that it's, like, picked up so quickly. Yeah. And, we have, I'm going to say dozens and dozens of people across the country under the sunburnt banner, going to see the Naked Gun this Saturday. So, join us. Go to, go to the website and, find those locations, find those times and, and join us. Or maybe. Hey, are you in Arkansas right now? And you're like, well, what about a screening in Little Rock? I didn't get one together. Throw on a Hawaiian and, get a friend, get three friends, get ten friends. Go to that. Take a picture outside the theater, send it to us. And, and, we would love to see you join, join the movement. **Thomas** (00:29:28:21 - 00:29:50:17): Yeah. And afterwards, if you want to hang out with people, we tried to put these theaters where they're close to, you know, a bar or a restaurant or someplace people can easily gather. We're not, like, throwing a party. We're just like, pointing out these are. These are some nice spaces to go. In New York City, we put a couple of, tiki bars that we stopped by a couple episodes ago. As you know, places that are close to these theaters, if you want to stop by there, bring your friends or meet some new ones, throw on your Hawaiian head out to the theater. Have a great time there. And then if you want to, you know, go grab a drink or a bite at one of these places, and, yeah, we're just trying to make a nice afternoon while doing a good deed. And that is single handedly saving the theatrical comedy. **Chip** (00:30:15:14 - 00:30:17:18): We're doing it, guys. You're part of that movement? Yeah. **Thomas** (00:30:18:07 - 00:30:29:06): Absolutely. Yeah. We can't do it without you now, so come on out. I'm just excited about it. Dude, I've invited some friends. Me and the wife are going. It's going to be awesome. **Chip** (00:30:29:06 - 00:30:41:00): People come out of the woodwork, too, because I was like, when we first did this, I was like, oh, am I going to get anybody to go with me? Am I going to go by myself? Yeah. And immediately I just send it out to a couple people and like everyone was like, yes, I mean, I can't wait. **Thomas** (00:30:41:00 - 00:30:45:10): To nobody invites anybody to do anything anymore. It's very easy. **Chip** (00:30:45:12 - 00:31:01:13): Like we are all lonely and we don't know it. That's another thing too. It's like taking those days off, those vacation days, just taking those times going out. Like go to the movies, go do an activity, get together with people. That's the one thing I realized during the pandemic, I thought, because we were kind of locked down during the pandemic. I think you were saying, and it was like, I just had this idea that everybody was out there in the world having fun without me. Yeah. And I was just, you know, by choice to a certain extent. I was just staying home, but everybody else was out there. And then I realized that, no, like my friends, they're like, yeah, we don't go out anymore. We don't see any. You do anything and it's like, oh no, we can do this. So you take the initiative and then you're like, you guys got to get together and go to this movie when we get together. And they're like, and like, everybody's so psyched to do it. So, and then you get to curate those friends. I've got to introduce some friends to each other. So then they're like burnt ones now, just like they're just cool, nice people. And I because I have that, I get that thing. I think you do two of like before I go to like a movie or like a, even a I used to love going to concerts. Yeah. And now I just get there's something in the pit of my stomach anymore. I'm like, this is I got to, like, ramp up for a little bit, you know, like, I don't want to go through this hassle doing it. And then you go, and you have the best time. **Thomas** (00:31:56:20 - 00:32:13:21): Yeah, you have the best time. And also, it's so easy with a movie like, the tickets aren't that expensive. I mean, they're more expensive. They used to be. But comparatively it's not like a big risk. And you get you can invite people if they don't come, who cares? But it's nice to be invited and invited to something fun. Like, who doesn't want to go see Naked Gun this weekend? **Chip** (00:32:17:17 - 00:32:20:06): Everybody wants to go, yeah, yeah, so let's do it. **Thomas** (00:32:20:08 - 00:32:23:05): Let's do it. We're we're we're cooking it up and also. **Chip** (00:32:23:06 - 00:32:25:21): Check it out, at some@podcast.com. **Thomas** (00:32:25:21 - 00:32:48:20): Yeah. We, we have a movie screening section. If you go up I'm sure we'll, we'll put it in here somewhere. And then also on the flip side, we've got the laughs and then we've got the screams. On Sunday, if you want to make it a double tap, Chip and I both had the, pleasure from the good folks at neon of seeing the new together, horror movie Alison Brie, Dave Franco. And it's great. **Chip** (00:32:50:10 - 00:33:09:19): I was surprised I started reading up a little bit more about it. And then a lot of people were calling it body horror. Which, like, I that's something that I, it's usually doesn't necessarily attract me or interest me or like it's something and then I guess like when I was like, I guess it is a body horror film, but like, man, what a great, just like fun way. Just a diversion. I felt like I was out in the woods with them. Yeah, for a while. Yeah, it was a fun movie. Also horrifying. And, man, just what a what a ride. **Thomas** (00:33:21:03 - 00:33:43:21): Yeah. It's, you know, it's it's execution heavy. It really is. If you care about horror movies and how they're put together and have opinions about that stuff, just the execution of together is off the charts. And the acting is such high level for this. You know, probably budget reign of horror movies like Alison and Dave absolutely crush it. They kind of crush everything they do, but like to have that level of acting in this movie. Well, along with the execution of the horror elements and the storytelling, it really is a special one. So we're only putting, oh, we're seeing every theatrical comedy, and then we're putting the creme de la creme of horror movies that are coming out, and it's together. And then the week after that, we have weapons. **Chip** (00:34:06:22 - 00:34:07:20): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:34:07:22 - 00:34:09:08): Which is, you know, **Chip** (00:34:09:10 - 00:34:10:18): Not actual weapons. That's the name of the movie. **Thomas** (00:34:10:18 - 00:34:32:08): It's the name of the movie. So I think together, back to back weeks with weapons like it's two of the two of the best horror movies you're going to see in a really long time. Coming out back to back weekends. Go see both of them. They're. Yeah, they're both worth the time. And they're both some of the best horror movies I've seen in forever. **Chip** (00:34:32:10 - 00:34:52:04): I just like as a fan of like I'm a huge horror fan. Obviously I'm a comedy fan. Yeah, look, nothing against them. I'm just not a comic book superhero movie fan. Yeah. I mean, I think it just, I just it doesn't it, I get the appeal. People love it, I guess, but like, that's everything that's being made over the last decade is just that. And it's like, let's get people out. Let's little by little grassroots show them that no, people want to see horror in the theater. People want to go see comedy in the theater. So it's not just, you know, Thor seven. Let's have a slap fight with Batman. I think that's what the last ones called. **Thomas** (00:35:08:12 - 00:35:09:14): Yes. **Chip** (00:35:09:16 - 00:35:14:20): Daredevil six, Robin and Dracula. **Thomas** (00:35:14:20 - 00:35:16:16): Truth or Daredevil? **Chip** (00:35:16:18 - 00:35:20:01): Truth or dare? Devil. Willy Wonka and Spider man. **Thomas** (00:35:20:01 - 00:35:32:08): Seven minutes in Heaven with Peter Parker. Yeah, the comic book movies. There is just like a culture. There is a group dynamic. People enjoy sharing their fandom with other people, and I love that going to the theaters. **Chip** (00:35:32:08 - 00:35:33:05): And that's great. **Thomas** (00:35:33:07 - 00:35:33:20): It is great. **Chip** (00:35:33:22 - 00:35:42:22): I have nothing and I've nothing against it, but it's just like it's just taken such a big piece of the pie that it's like, let's get some of these, let's get some of these genres back. Yeah, well, it's just. **Thomas** (00:35:42:22 - 00:35:55:16): Not our wheelhouse. We love comedy, and we love horror movies. Like, we've known each other for ten years, and we've been obsessed with both the whole time. Yep. Comedy is our profession. Horror, movies have been a passion. **Chip** (00:35:55:18 - 00:35:58:21): Personal lives. Yeah. Yes. Just horror after. **Thomas** (00:35:58:21 - 00:36:17:02): Horror, atrocity after atrocity. But. Yeah. So that's what we're doing here. We're just trying to be as authentic as possible. We're super excited about this trip. We're excited about these movies. And we're, you know, we're trying to share find like minded people who enjoy these things and just bring them together and a little bit of a community. It's, it's our dream. **Chip** (00:36:18:16 - 00:36:20:08): It is. And we're making it happen. **Thomas** (00:36:20:08 - 00:36:32:08): If you love tropical travel and comedy, it go see Naked Gun. And if you also love horror movies, go see together and then go see weapons. We'll figure out what the weapons screenings are. It's still too early. **Chip** (00:36:32:08 - 00:36:32:16): Yeah, we're. **Thomas** (00:36:32:17 - 00:36:56:18): Planning, but we've got the Time's Up Saturday hitting Naked Gun Sunday hitting together and, yeah, And be good to each other. Be cool to each other. And if you're, see somebody in Hawaiian, you can ask them if they're one. And if they are one, they'll let you know. And and, you know, that's, you know, a friendly and, you can, find a little community there. **Chip** (00:36:56:20 - 00:37:12:03): And that's something we do. And I'd like stress to, like, not that anybody would do that, but, like, we want a whole group of people in this theater, but we also don't want it to be an obnoxious group of people, like, we want it to be cool, you know, enjoying the movie and then going out and having some fun afterwards. Like, it's not like, hey, we're taking over this theater and we're just going to be, you know, we're we're preaching to the choir. Tom. **Thomas** (00:37:18:01 - 00:37:26:23): Yeah, yeah, they know that. Be cool. Laugh, scream, do everything appropriately. Just don't be on your phone the whole time. **Chip** (00:37:27:01 - 00:37:30:10): Yeah. God, no. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:37:30:12 - 00:38:00:06): And, be safe, because, I don't know, maybe some weirdos listening to this exact. And they're going to show up. Going to show up in Hawaiians and be creepy. Keep your guard up. These are strangers, after all. But, yeah, hopefully it's it's mostly a good mix. And these will be fun movies and, Yeah, if you even if you can get, like, even if there's 4 or 5 burnt ones that make their way to a screening, that's going to be a little bit more packed theater, that's going to be a couple extra laughs to fill out the room. It's going to be a couple extra gasps to fill out the room in a horror movie. And, yeah, let's let's just do it. And if it's fun, we'll keep doing it. Speak. **Chip** (00:38:09:21 - 00:38:16:04): Been a fun time? Yeah. Let's learn something and have fun while learning. **Thomas** (00:38:16:04 - 00:38:42:16): I can only think that you're talking about, learning a new fact about the ultimate Bert one. Jimmy Buffett, a man who legitimately said, I am going to live life on my own terms, and a huge portion of the world followed him along for the journey. Yeah. We've got some unknown facts about Jimmy Buffett. We've been doing this every week. And, here, Chip, why don't you hit us with your Jimmy Buffett fact for this week? **Chip** (00:38:50:23 - 00:38:57:23): Jimmy Buffett never swam with the Dolphins, and the Dolphins swam with Jimmy Buffett. **Thomas** (00:38:58:01 - 00:39:28:18): They, That's true, I, I yeah, that's probably a bigger deal for the Dolphins, although I'm sure Jimmy loved them. Sure. Okay, here we go. Hardcore fans will know this, but I'm thrown out there anyways. Jimmy Buffett was resilient. He once crashed his Grumman G 44 Widgeon sea plane and the Atlantic Ocean, but he lived to tell the tale and continued to bring joy to his millions of fans for years to come. If you're keeping score at home, that's Jimmy Buffett. One Amelia Earhart zero. **Chip** (00:39:35:07 - 00:39:38:14): He comes out on top every time Thomas comes out on top. **Thomas** (00:39:38:16 - 00:39:40:00): He comes for the web. **Chip** (00:39:40:00 - 00:39:40:11): He really does. **Thomas** (00:39:40:14 - 00:39:41:22): So yeah, that's. **Chip** (00:39:42:00 - 00:39:43:19): That's that. **Thomas** (00:39:43:21 - 00:39:46:08): That's the that's the man. Those are the. **Chip** (00:39:46:08 - 00:39:48:23): Buffett changes the the altitude changes in attitude. **Thomas** (00:39:48:23 - 00:40:14:17): Exactly. Do it. It was why like he got messed up in that same plane crash. But like apparently he had been training with like, some, like, military types that kind of, taught him how to respond in a drastic situation. And it was also one of those things where, like, he literally just tried to cram 35 hours into every day. He wanted to be the ultimate businessman and performer and professional in that way. But he also was not going to pass up a fishing trip with anybody. So it was literally like planned out. I think it was a fishing trip he took with some folks, and then he was just he just tried to cram too much and he, like, took off when it probably wasn't ideal, situations because he had to get back, I believe, for a show or there was something professional he had to do, but he just couldn't pass up this opportunity to fish with some friends. So he was just crammed together and he crashed. Crashes sea plane. There's also another story where, like I, I think it was like Bono or like there was like a lot of really famous people in his sea plane and like Jamaica. And they got shot at by the police. Like, really? Yeah. Like they thought he was like, some kind of smuggler or something. And it was like some of the most famous people in the world were in Jimmy Buffett sea plane. And they, like, the plane, took bullets, dude, they could have they could have wiped out some folks. **Chip** (00:41:17:19 - 00:41:18:23): So amazing. **Thomas** (00:41:19:00 - 00:41:35:06): It's just like his life. The more I read, it's just like adventure after adventure. And, I don't know, it just just inspired whatever you feel about the music or his fans or whatever, like, literally, this was a guy who probably would he use his PTO, you know what I mean? **Chip** (00:41:35:09 - 00:41:39:00): 100%. Yeah, absolutely. Use that. **Thomas** (00:41:39:01 - 00:41:43:13): Speaking of the pushing the limits of what's possible. **Chip** (00:41:43:15 - 00:41:44:04): Yes. **Thomas** (00:41:44:04 - 00:42:06:02): It is time to get into the good book ship that we're talking about, the Guinness Book of World Records. Chip and I are working off some brand new 2025 editions. We love the book. As a kid, we continue to love it as adults. And every week we are, just cherry picking, some records that we want to talk about and, yeah. And this week, I think we have some real special records. **Chip** (00:42:11:23 - 00:42:13:07): Maybe a couple of burnt ones in here. **Thomas** (00:42:13:07 - 00:42:15:14): Yeah, definitely some burnt. What's in here? **Chip** (00:42:15:16 - 00:42:16:12): You want to kick us off? **Thomas** (00:42:16:13 - 00:42:27:07): One thing I didn't know heading into, doing this podcast was how prevalent Pakistan was going to be and setting these world records. **Chip** (00:42:27:07 - 00:42:31:23): They had the world record for the world's largest inflatable, bouncy castle. **Thomas** (00:42:32:00 - 00:42:34:14): How many? It was like 15,000ft². **Chip** (00:42:34:14 - 00:42:38:23): It was like over an acre. I feel like like it was a whole city block, basically, that was inflatable. **Thomas** (00:42:38:23 - 00:42:54:06): So they're pushing the boundaries here. We're going back to Pakistan, where Mohammed Rashid, racked up the most green coconut smashes with the head in one minute. So we're we're. **Chip** (00:42:54:08 - 00:42:58:16): We're so most coconuts, smashes with a head. With his head. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:42:58:16 - 00:43:04:12): And it's like I've seen people attempt this before. It. I mean. **Chip** (00:43:04:14 - 00:43:05:02): Oh. **Thomas** (00:43:05:04 - 00:43:14:05): What do you think it like? You want that gold so bad? You want that sweet record that you're willing to break coconuts with your bare head? **Chip** (00:43:14:06 - 00:43:24:18): Here's a question. Okay. It is, I feel naive. How do you generally open a coconut? Do you just bang it on the ground? Is there a coconut mallet? **Thomas** (00:43:24:20 - 00:43:28:01): Yeah. No, I mean, I think it's a machete. I think it's like a machete. **Chip** (00:43:28:01 - 00:43:29:08): Oh, like a machete. Sure. Yeah. Okay. **Thomas** (00:43:29:08 - 00:43:38:10): You use a machete and then, like, you can also use rocks or something like that. And. Yeah, I'm sure there's, like, a mallet puncture technique with a sharp rock, but sure, I mean. **Chip** (00:43:38:11 - 00:43:40:01): That if all else fails. **Thomas** (00:43:40:03 - 00:43:41:10): Yeah, that's serious business. **Chip** (00:43:41:10 - 00:43:42:09): The noggin. **Thomas** (00:43:42:11 - 00:43:50:15): Yeah, that's serious business. And I think green coconuts. I'd have to imagine. All right, I hope that means they're young and maybe a little softer. **Chip** (00:43:50:18 - 00:43:51:04): Sure. **Thomas** (00:43:51:05 - 00:44:06:03): But, this guy is just banging. He he's banging, and, I believe the record is, in one minute. Ship. This guy smashed 43 coconuts with his forehead. **Chip** (00:44:06:05 - 00:44:08:02): I mean, that's a lot of coconut water right there. **Thomas** (00:44:08:02 - 00:44:13:01): That's a lot of pina coladas there in a minute. Dude, that's more than a bartender can handle. **Chip** (00:44:13:03 - 00:44:15:19): That's for sure. Coconut water on the brain is what that is. **Thomas** (00:44:15:19 - 00:44:19:19): Yeah, yeah. And this guy, he's. He's also a black belt martial artist. **Chip** (00:44:19:20 - 00:44:38:05): Of course. Okay, that makes sense. And because, okay, only a black belt martial arts. Like, I've never had a task where I was like, I should use a machete for this and then be like, you know, instead of a machete, let's use my forehead. Like, that's never once ever happened where I need a giant knife and I'm like, put the knife away. Can I use the head? I mean, you. **Thomas** (00:44:39:10 - 00:45:04:22): Just have a record, a fever. You need that next record. At this point, if you're smashing coconuts with your head because like the rest of the the records he has, I think are more in lines with like breaking boards with his fists or like snapping an amount of pencils and an hour or whatever. Like he's got multiple records, but like, it seems like he was working up until he ran out of things to reasonably break. And then it got to and it's they're all set up. It's just like tens and tens of coconuts in a row. And he's just, you know, it's not. And I don't think they're breaking on the first try. Every time I think he's reloading. **Chip** (00:45:18:13 - 00:45:19:11): He has to come back for round. **Thomas** (00:45:19:11 - 00:45:25:22): Two. I would speculate it's easy to get a Coco Cannon from doing this. This record attempt. **Chip** (00:45:25:22 - 00:45:28:03): Coconut puts the C in CTE. Yeah. It's. What? Yeah, yeah. Coconut trauma. **Thomas** (00:45:32:20 - 00:45:36:01): We can pretend we know what CTE stands for. **Chip** (00:45:36:03 - 00:45:55:14): Yes. So I like the fact that he went for the sprint. He went for, like, the most. In a minute. Yeah. 43 in a minute I would I think I would be more of a marathon kind of guy. Like I would go, like most coconuts broken by my head in a month. **Thomas** (00:45:55:16 - 00:46:04:05): Chip, I'm going to be honest with you. I think anybody who's even tried most coconuts broken in an hour has perished. **Chip** (00:46:04:07 - 00:46:04:19): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:46:05:01 - 00:46:05:12): You? **Chip** (00:46:05:14 - 00:46:08:21): Most coconuts broken by your head in a lifetime. **Thomas** (00:46:08:22 - 00:46:15:16): If you could win a record, a world record, potentially, for breaking things. What? What do you think that could be? **Chip** (00:46:15:16 - 00:46:18:18): I think hearts is. That's the first thing that I think of. It's just breaking. **Thomas** (00:46:18:18 - 00:46:21:18): Hearts. The first thing I think of as promises, I think I could. **Chip** (00:46:21:18 - 00:46:22:16): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:46:22:18 - 00:46:25:21): I think I could break a world record amount of probably wind. **Chip** (00:46:25:23 - 00:46:26:12): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:46:26:14 - 00:46:27:08): Oh, yeah. **Chip** (00:46:27:10 - 00:46:37:04): Breaking when there's not a lot of tough, produce that I am willing or able to break with it. Really, honestly, any part of my. **Thomas** (00:46:37:04 - 00:46:49:18): Body, it's not my path. But it was for Rashid. Pakistan zone and, for that, I, I give the the sun burnt salute. Hats off, hats off. **Chip** (00:46:49:20 - 00:46:51:11): Probably because you can't fit one on your head. **Thomas** (00:46:51:11 - 00:46:53:23): Yeah, until the swelling goes down. Hats off. **Chip** (00:46:54:01 - 00:46:57:14): Hats off to you, buddy. Yeah, that's a great one. That was. **Thomas** (00:46:57:16 - 00:47:01:02): It vaguely tropical. Kind of. It kind of fits coconuts. **Chip** (00:47:01:02 - 00:47:01:10): Sure. **Thomas** (00:47:01:10 - 00:47:02:11): Yeah, yeah. It's like. **Chip** (00:47:02:15 - 00:47:05:02): Well, mine is is relatively tropical. **Thomas** (00:47:05:02 - 00:47:06:14): Oh, let's hear it. **Chip** (00:47:06:16 - 00:47:09:08): It's also absurd and unnecessary. **Thomas** (00:47:09:08 - 00:47:10:19): Perfect. **Chip** (00:47:10:21 - 00:47:18:04): Okay, this is the record for the fastest speed volcano surfing. **Thomas** (00:47:18:06 - 00:47:19:08): Okay. **Chip** (00:47:19:10 - 00:47:22:15): The fastest speed for volcano surfing. **Thomas** (00:47:22:17 - 00:47:24:15): Okay. What's volcano surfing? **Chip** (00:47:24:17 - 00:47:34:19): It's exactly what you think it is, Thomas. Okay. By the way, volcano surfing does sound like a euphemism. Be like. Yeah, man, I'm not feeling good today. I was up all night volcano surfing, if you know. **Thomas** (00:47:34:19 - 00:47:37:19): What I mean. I got a little too hot to the magma, if you know what I mean. **Chip** (00:47:37:19 - 00:47:56:18): Exactly. It is just. Just too much volcano surfing. All right, if I'm saying his name correctly, chase Boehringer. So again, it's always that name Chase. Yeah Chad I know I'm Chip, so I can't talk too much, but like yeah these guys doing these crazy things Chase Boehringer okay. **Thomas** (00:47:56:18 - 00:48:02:22): Well and also his last name is very close to Boehringer. Yes. So I think maybe. **Chip** (00:48:02:22 - 00:48:04:01): And it could even be pronounced that. **Thomas** (00:48:04:01 - 00:48:07:14): Yeah, maybe he felt compelled to go to the extreme. **Chip** (00:48:07:16 - 00:48:24:04): He has to be less boring. He he was he does not want to be the boring asked. I will tell you that. Yeah. And he definitely isn't. So he has the world record for the fastest speed while volcano surfing, which literally means surfing down the side of a volcano. **Thomas** (00:48:24:06 - 00:48:25:21): Holy cow. **Chip** (00:48:25:23 - 00:48:30:05): He went 27.96mph. **Thomas** (00:48:30:10 - 00:48:32:11): Now it's too fast. **Chip** (00:48:32:13 - 00:48:38:15): Yeah, he's going almost 30 miles an hour down the side of a volcano on some sort of surfboard situation. Okay, it. **Thomas** (00:48:39:09 - 00:48:42:07): Sounds like falling chip. **Chip** (00:48:42:09 - 00:48:58:06): Basically, that's what he is, just plummeting to his death. And actually, it is wait. And he wait to hear this. So it's in, I believe it's pronounced u roo upon Mexico. Okay. In 2021, during the height of the pandemic. He does this. **Thomas** (00:48:58:06 - 00:49:00:01): Oh, yeah. **Chip** (00:49:00:03 - 00:49:07:23): Okay. He goes down to Mexico, to get to this specific volcano that he wants to surf down. **Thomas** (00:49:07:23 - 00:49:09:00): Yeah. **Chip** (00:49:09:02 - 00:49:19:21): And by the way, we're not talking about, like, a higher elevation place where there's a volcano that's covered in snow. It's just ash and rock and dirt and volcano debris. **Thomas** (00:49:19:21 - 00:49:20:05): Yeah. **Chip** (00:49:20:06 - 00:49:32:10): Okay. He has to take an eight hour bus ride. So first of all right there, you should get some sort of Guinness record for taking an eight hour bus ride through Mexico. **Thomas** (00:49:32:12 - 00:49:33:01): Yeah. **Chip** (00:49:33:03 - 00:50:00:08): Then he has to take after the eight hour bus ride. He has to take five hour horseback ride because the bus doesn't even get close to this volcano, apparently. So he gets off the bus, somehow acquires a horse. He gets to this area where people speak a dialect of Spanish that he doesn't understand, nor do they understand him. He's like, hey, everybody got a surfboard. This is a horse. I'm going to set the record for surfing down this volcano as fast as I can. And they didn't understand what he was doing, but he was able to mime to them charades style that, like, can some people help me? I need to document this. Yeah, apparently he did. It's a steep, steep volcano that just ends at the bottom at a giant rock wall. So he's just going to surf down, and it's not like you wipe out into the waves or the sand. Yeah, it's. First of all, he said it was hard getting started because I guess he would go slow on the ash. The ash was kind of it didn't go that fast. But then you get into the harder rock and you're just a moving. **Thomas** (00:50:55:23 - 00:50:56:18): **Chip** (00:50:56:20 - 00:51:15:10): And then he knew he was basically just going to have to bail either into a rock wall at 27.96 miles an hour or, like, jump off right before he hits the rock wall. But he did it, by the way. It reminds me of that saying. And have you ever heard that saying, I think it's attributed to Groucho Marx, but so much is. But it's about comedy. It's a it's this saying about how when it comes to amateur comedians or amateur casual comedy fans, it's funny when you dress a guy up like an old lady, put him in a wheelchair, send him down a ramp towards a brick wall. **Thomas** (00:51:32:00 - 00:51:32:17): Yeah. **Chip** (00:51:32:19 - 00:51:54:23): But for a true comedy fan, it has to be a real old lady. So apparently he does. This clocks in 27.96mph, gets the record, but then crashes at the end. He knew he was going to have to spent three weeks with intense, intense back pain. Of course he of. **Thomas** (00:51:54:23 - 00:51:56:04): Course he did. **Chip** (00:51:56:06 - 00:52:22:12): Of course he did. And then apparently went to this. I think it was like a shaman or some sort of medicine man in the area. And basically they had him float in this like freezing cold water, not unlike Saint Nick's wild yuletide water park. Yeah, but apparently this cold, cold water that he like floated in for maybe like a couple hours. And apparently he came out of this water feeling totally refreshed. No back pain anymore. **Thomas** (00:52:28:01 - 00:52:29:15): Wow. **Chip** (00:52:29:17 - 00:52:46:19): This dude chase is a burnt one. Yeah. That could have been seriously injured. It sounds like he was, but apparently was healed by the locals. And he set the world record for fastest speed in volcano surfing. Which, Thomas, is it actually a thing, I don't think? **Thomas** (00:52:46:19 - 00:52:47:15): No, it's not. **Chip** (00:52:47:16 - 00:52:52:04): Like that's the thing about world records. Like you can run the fastest mile. **Thomas** (00:52:52:04 - 00:52:52:20): Yeah. **Chip** (00:52:52:22 - 00:53:14:23): You can climb a skyscraper the fastest way. Yeah. You can crack however many coconuts you want you with your hand right. I have a feeling he might be the first one ever surfing volcano. I don't know, I didn't do the research into that, but, like, it doesn't sound like something that a lot of people do, but he's like, I'm going to do it and I'm going to do it the. **Thomas** (00:53:14:23 - 00:53:17:02): Thing, and I'm going to do it fast. **Chip** (00:53:17:04 - 00:53:18:00): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:53:18:02 - 00:53:24:04): Volcanoes are hot. I'm fast. We'll put those two things together hot and fast. **Chip** (00:53:24:06 - 00:53:28:14): Hot, fast volcano surfing. Hats off to you, Chase. **Thomas** (00:53:28:16 - 00:53:33:01): Well, party. I think we're we're, running out of time here, man. **Chip** (00:53:33:07 - 00:53:37:03): I think we just set the world record for the most packed podcast we really. **Thomas** (00:53:37:03 - 00:53:50:01): Jammed it in there. We hope you enjoyed the jamming. This the sunburnt podcast where we talk about tropical travel and all things comedy. Until next time, stay burnt. **Chip** (00:53:50:03 - 00:53:57:01): Front desk. Hi, this is Mr. Chantry in room 308. I need somebody to come up and find my TV remote. **Thomas** (00:53:57:03 - 00:53:58:21): You've lost your remote? **Chip** (00:53:58:23 - 00:54:06:14): No, I hit it. And if you find it in under a minute, you get the prize. **Thomas** (00:54:06:16 - 00:54:07:11): I'll be up.
