**Thomas** (00:00:00:00):
Have you had any more fun dreams lately?
**Chip** (00:00:02:01):
I had a dream last night about this podcast. About, like, we prepped a couple things. We're like, we're gonna talk about this, this and this. Yeah. And then we got on, and we're just about to record, and you're like, hey, I we're ready for the Charlie Brown thing, the Guatemala thing, and the thing about football. And I'm like, I didn't prepare any of those.
I was like, I prepared three totally different things. It's definitely a stress stream of like, you're not ready for the exam, but this is an exam that literally millions and millions of people will see millions. I, I think that's I think that's the stretch. I actually had a dream the other night, two nights ago, I had a dream where I was holding two pythons to two snakes.
It was it. Let's just say it was very risky. I was holding two pythons by the neck, so, you know, that's where you hold them, I guess. So they don't bite, you know. But then I couldn't put them down because then they were just going to, like, jump up and bite me. And I just remember walking around in my dream holding two snakes and crying.
That's a oh, that was that was my Saturday night dream.
**Thomas** (00:01:01:20):
How about. Yeah, I mean, I can't tell you how relatable that is because, I walk around with two pythons every day, trap.
**Chip** (00:01:10:18):
Every single day.
**Thomas** (00:01:12:09):
And don't worry about it, everybody. It's sweet dreams here on the sunburnt podcast. We'll be back in one second with Chip telling us about the history of Russia. Stay tuned.
**Chip** (00:01:23:01):
Hello, front desk, I guess this.
**Thomas** (00:01:24:13):
Is Thomas O'Brien in room 308. There's some ants up here in my room.
**Chip** (00:01:29:13):
Oh. Yeah, we could send up some, exterminator. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:01:32:18):
They keep showing me pictures of when I was a kid. Tell me stories about my mom, and I just need them out of here.
**Chip** (00:01:40:09):
We'll call the police for you, sir.
**Thomas** (00:01:41:22):
Episode 16 of the Sunburnt Podcast, where we talk about comedy and tropical vacations. Brother. We're blowing up the charts here.
**Chip** (00:01:50:16):
Yeah. We are.
**Thomas** (00:01:51:08):
Just put a fishhook in the algorithm and we're reeling it in.
**Chip** (00:01:55:04):
Yeah. We are. Yeah, we are the big catch, baby, a big catch.
We're a whale of podcasting.
**Thomas** (00:02:00:12):
We're a podcast whale.
**Chip** (00:02:02:05):
Just in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Just drifting. Drifting with that island of trash. Do you ever want to see. I kind of want to see that island of trash sometime. Like, I'm sure it's horrible, but, you know, it's like the size of Texas or whatever. Like, how can that be? It's, hey, we've left our mark on the world, if nothing else.
Like, as human beings, we've done something.
**Thomas** (00:02:20:09):
Dude, I having the baby has put so many things in perspective, but this kid, I mean, it's at this point it's 2 to 3 diapers a day.
**Chip** (00:02:30:16):
**Thomas** (00:02:31:09):
And if I get in a stadium where there's like 20,000 people. Yeah. All I can think of is like for two years everybody in here made 2 to 3 diapers a day.
**Chip** (00:02:44:18):
And in a couple of years they're also going to be making 2 to 3 diapers a day.
**Thomas** (00:02:48:11):
Be back in diapers, making those boom booms, and they're adult diapers. But like, all I can think of is just like, I think there was Bill Burr bet like, you have 12 kids. Congratulation. That's 12 more dumps that are going to end up in a river every day. But just the sheer volume of diapers that are just going on in the planet, like, where do they all go?
**Chip** (00:03:09:08):
I think to heaven. They go to they go to diaper heaven.
**Thomas** (00:03:12:10):
To all diapers. Go to heaven?
**Chip** (00:03:13:23):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:03:14:20):
That's nice. That's a nice thought. But just I mean, there's a lot of volume when you get people in mass, there's a lot of volume. We're making enough trash to make something the size of Texas. Would it be my first vacation destination choice? Yeah. No.
**Chip** (00:03:27:10):
But it'd be your second.
**Thomas** (00:03:28:14):
Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Right after Honolulu, Hawaii. Where Chip Chantry in, oh, 174 days is going to be doing. Chip Chantry. Is Thanksgiving in Paradise?
**Chip** (00:03:40:18):
Yep.
**Thomas** (00:03:41:17):
Buddy, I am fired up about this. I could just, picture myself floating in the warm waters of Waikiki. Yeah, having a pina colada.
**Chip** (00:03:51:07):
I'm so excited to. Just to get out of that world because I'm in my basement studio right now as the slowest fire truck is driving past and all the cars are beeping trying to get it out of the way. Right now, as I'm trying to enjoy my island of trash, and I'm just being pulled out of the of of the world by a fire engine going past and I.
So I need this more than anything right now. I need to go to why we're going this Thanksgiving. I'm doing a new hour at the Blue Note Jazz Club. We want you guys to come get away from the fire. And just. I'm sure that fire engines in Hawaii. I mean, it'd be crazy if they didn't, but there's not, right?
Yeah. They're not driving past your house.
**Thomas** (00:04:32:06):
Yeah, that is also an aggressive move, too. It's like.
**Chip** (00:04:34:21):
Fire.
**Thomas** (00:04:36:09):
Engines aren't just meandering around. They've got places to be and people to help. And everybody's like, get out of my way.
**Chip** (00:04:43:19):
Yeah, it's always about. It's always about me. It's always about me. I will say this I'm the I am the the the grumpy, angry guy. Now what grinds my gears type thing? But I swear that ambulances have gotten louder and slower. Like they just there's it's so loud. My wife and I were walking to my wife was off yesterday.
We walked to breakfast or our favorite spot. It was a gorgeous day in Philadelphia. It was amazing.
**Thomas** (00:05:09:20):
Can you name it Chip? What's the favorite.
**Chip** (00:05:11:10):
Spot? Oh, yeah, it's got Sam's Morning Glory diner. It's one of our favorite spots to go. It's not our regular. We've a diner that we go night. The organ diner, which is just the best. But this is a very special place in South Philly. And we walk to. And it's just this crisp, beautiful June morning. Everything was perfect.
And then just the last three blocks of us walking to the diner was just a slow moving ambulance that's just so loud, just basically just going our walking speed. And the guy doesn't seem in a hurry at all, but it's just so that it's like, if you're going to be that slow, you don't have to be that loud.
Yeah. Or like, oh, Art, is there a fire? Is there somewhere you need to get to? Sir, you can pick up the pace. I think there there has to have been a law enacted in the past couple of years where the like, ambulances are causing too many accidents, they're going too fast. And it's like, I think we can deal with a couple of ambulance accidents every once in a while to, to to move this along a little bit.
**Thomas** (00:06:10:11):
Yeah. I, they have gotten louder, I think. And do you remember the show boiling Points. Did you ever see that it was on MTV?
**Chip** (00:06:17:12):
Oh, it was like the was that a yes? It was like candid Camera, but like where people were really push to the lake to limit, like where there's going to be fist fight. It was fist fight camera, candid camera specifically.
**Thomas** (00:06:27:17):
They were trying to get individuals to boil over to reach their boiling point where they just lose it. I think for you, just having a full on ambulance, just go exactly your speed, the whole length of the walk from your house someplace.
**Chip** (00:06:42:22):
It's just I can.
**Thomas** (00:06:44:00):
Just imagine I can see your face after about.
**Chip** (00:06:47:14):
Half a block.
Like I would need another ambulance. Hey. Because my blood pressure would have just spiked too much. And or it would. By the way, now there's police coming past. So, something funny happening or. No, that is an ambulance, isn't it? So, so it's literally boiling points is happening right now while I'm trying while I'm trying to record a podcast that's app and like, by the way, people are in peril right now.
Blast from my apartment. Yeah. You just they are in peril. And I could care less. And I'm just, because I am inconvenienced while I'm trying to make a radio show in my basement.
**Thomas** (00:07:23:20):
Yeah. And that also shines the light of one of our biggest fears dying.
**Chip** (00:07:28:14):
Yep.
**Thomas** (00:07:29:00):
But, like, can you imagine just how disappointed you're going to be if, on your last breath, while you're passing away, you're like, I just had a heart attack because I got too angry at somebody I didn't know.
**Chip** (00:07:41:06):
Yep. Oh, that I think about that on a daily basis.
**Thomas** (00:07:45:07):
The worst part is just realizing it's my fault.
**Chip** (00:07:48:14):
And the fake fight that I had in my head just caused me to have a stroke. I can't feel the left side of my body. I am now in an ambulance, inconveniencing other people so I'm just perpetuating it. I am just it's it's the I am emotionally dropping 2 to 3 diapers a day on everyone around me right now.
**Thomas** (00:08:08:04):
Your last words are just screaming that Mr. Abbott is a little loud.
**Chip** (00:08:11:21):
Yeah. Little kid. I think people are looking at us. Probably. Can you kind of bring it down a little bit? Can you bring it down, please? I had a this was my wife was, She was away with her mom for a couple days. They they went on a trip last year, and somebody parked their car across the street from my house, and it was just like some.
It was something we turned out to be. Some kid I found out, and he's. He's a very nice kid. He's like 24. He seemed very nice because I saw him the next day and I actually ended up having words with him. But he's very pleasant and we had very pleasant interaction, even though I didn't sleep the night before because he came into town to, like, visit friends or whatever.
So he just parked his car and then around 11 p.m., his car alarm went off because car alarms are still a thing in 2025. Apparently it went off at 11 p.m. and at 9 a.m. the next morning when I left to go out to teach a class, it was still going off. It was just like, why? Why would there's no reason that a car needs to have an alarm for 12 hours, like go on for 15 minutes, top tops, five minutes and then shut off.
**Thomas** (00:09:21:21):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:09:22:17):
And so nobody on our block slept that night and just we just everybody just wanted to set the car on fire just to make it go away and,
Yeah. What do you.
**Thomas** (00:09:32:08):
Do? Like, I feel like out of a whole neighborhood, not sleeping. Somebody would call the cops or something. There's nothing that can be done.
**Chip** (00:09:38:15):
Oh, cops were called, police were called. But apparently there was nothing that could be done about it. Or, like, they didn't know whose car it was or. Yeah, I don't know, it was like out of state, but I don't know. I forget the exact thing because it was very foggy and I was just like, whatever. And, apparently his, apparently his battery, like, melted the car battery, like, just because it was just shooting off for 12 straight hours.
And then he's like. And he was a really nice kid. So like, it brought the temperature down because I saw him and he was like very apologetic. He's like, I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was happening. He's like, I'm, I'm I have to get it towed now because like, it's like he's like, I'm hoping to get it towed today.
I was like, you can't leave this car here tonight. Like there's no or you have to disconnect everything from this car. Like there can be no wires left on this automobile.
**Thomas** (00:10:21:08):
Any light vandalism done to the car during the heat of the night?
**Chip** (00:10:24:15):
Shockingly, no, I don't think I, if I remember correctly, no. Which. But like, there were there were daydreams. There were daydreams of just everybody just breaking every window in that car, ripping every door off of it.
**Thomas** (00:10:36:21):
That in your neighborhood? I figured somebody would have at least whips a couple of meatballs at it or something.
**Chip** (00:10:42:08):
Yeah, a couple of batteries. You know, just.
**Thomas** (00:10:46:04):
Well, we gotta watch some of this bad juju off.
**Chip** (00:10:48:16):
Yeah. We do. Yeah, because we're going to a good place. We're going to Hawaii this Thanksgiving.
**Thomas** (00:10:52:04):
And I got a question.
**Chip** (00:10:53:15):
Oh, yeah? Are you one I am I am one right now. I'm going to put some of this.
**Thomas** (00:10:58:01):
Oh I put a lot on me.
**Chip** (00:11:00:02):
Oh nice.
**Thomas** (00:11:01:01):
Just slather him.
**Chip** (00:11:02:16):
Slather slathering all on man.
**Thomas** (00:11:04:03):
Like the little vacation piggies we are. You.
**Chip** (00:11:06:21):
Yeah. Exactly. Smelling at sun.
**Thomas** (00:11:10:13):
All right.
**Chip** (00:11:11:11):
That feels good. I'm ready. I'm ready to.
**Thomas** (00:11:13:03):
Go. I'm better. We're washing off.
**Chip** (00:11:15:08):
It's totally blocked me from that memory. Now I'm feeling good.
**Thomas** (00:11:19:23):
Oh, okay.
**Chip** (00:11:22:14):
All right. Do we just jump into it? Do we need to talk about the newest member of the Hall of Fame?
**Thomas** (00:11:29:22):
A real time Hall of Famer? I was watching this guy happened, like, in real time.
**Chip** (00:11:34:06):
Yeah. So I'm sure some of you have seen this, this story. There is a guy I think he's about 29, 30 years old. His name is Oliver Witcher, I think is his last name is. He was just a dude. He was a dude in Oregon. Which a dude in Oregon. Thomas. Yeah, you you can relate.
**Thomas** (00:11:50:22):
I can relate, I was a dude in Oregon for many years.
**Chip** (00:11:53:14):
Yeah, you were. And he worked, I think, like in an auto parts or auto parts store, you know, some kind of little corporate job, 9 to 5 that he apparently hated.
**Thomas** (00:12:02:03):
A tire store.
**Chip** (00:12:03:15):
A tire store. Speaking of tires on Netflix now, check me out at episode four. So he he worked at this tire store. He hate his job. He was diagnosed with this, pretty rough, very rare disease. This bone disorder that that deals with is the vertebrae. He, like, he might. He is the, unfortunately, like a possibility, like, go paralyzed from the neck down at some point, like that could happen.
And he was. And so what is terrible news turned into amazing. Like, like an amazing opportunity. He he said it just so he said that it just put everything in perspective in his life. He's like, I hate what I'm doing. I hate this 95 thing, the corporate thing, whatever. And now I have this. I was diagnosed with this potentially disastrous disease.
I can't just keep living like this and basically just made an Instagram post or a YouTube video or whatever, and just posted it was like, I can't do it. I got to do something else. I hate everything. And then it just like blew up. So he's like, all right, I guess I got to do it. So what? This just dude from Oregon did was quit his job.
He didn't have any money. He was actually in a little bit of debt. He liquidated his 401 K. I'm not saying to do that, people. I'm not saying to do that right now. But maybe I am.
**Thomas** (00:13:16:19):
Have you ever liquidated a 401 cap?
**Chip** (00:13:20:00):
I, I had to take some out of it once, to get to to have a wedding. Let's just say that. Which is what an investment of a wedding that really, you know, that comes back to pay the marriage, right? That the wedding was a big return on the wedding of, you know, like mashed potatoes that you don't eat, but, but no, I haven't liquidated anything.
It was just it was a very small amount, luckily,
But.
**Thomas** (00:13:44:00):
I've had the privilege of liquidating for 401 k's over the course of my career.
**Chip** (00:13:48:12):
That's 16. Okay. Yeah. 16.
**Thomas** (00:13:52:02):
Oh, it's a lot of cars. That's a lot of cars a lot. But it's just, you know. Yeah, you work for a while and then if you're me, you have a big idea and you go all in and, luckily, luckily, it finally paid off. But, yeah, yeah, it stings to dude that the tax, the taxes hit hard when you have like, you're to the point where, like, I need to liquidate this to do this thing I want to do.
Yeah. The last thing I want to do is pay a bunch of penalties as well. But if you're me, you do it. I've done it like four times in your.
**Chip** (00:14:23:16):
In your defense, that trampoline park for the elderly. It was a great idea. It was a it was a great business model.
**Thomas** (00:14:31:01):
It's low impact on the joints for what like for what? For the amount of velocity you're getting as a senior. Yeah. Add to the impact on the joints. It's so low tone. It is so low. But apparently 55 bucks a month for, you know, a monthly membership didn't really work.
**Chip** (00:14:50:09):
No, no, not at all. And, you know, that's just that's just the times, Thomas. You hit it at the wrong, the wrong time.
**Thomas** (00:14:57:05):
I also had a no children policy, which turned out to be detrimental to the trampoline park.
**Chip** (00:15:02:02):
Yeah, yeah. You keep the kids out, like, just. Yeah. You just an adults only, adults only trampoline park, a.
**Thomas** (00:15:08:05):
Seniors only, trampoline park.
**Chip** (00:15:10:03):
Seniors only 65 plus I wasn't.
**Thomas** (00:15:13:04):
Allowed in my own business.
**Chip** (00:15:14:22):
No. And I think that's why people were skimming off the top. You weren't allowed in the facility.
**Thomas** (00:15:20:11):
They were skimming off the top. They were skimming off the bottom. It was the worst. 401k liquidation in history, Chip.
**Chip** (00:15:26:18):
I think it was, but this one is. Might be the best this guy Oliver from. So he's he's get this diagnosis but he's he's like it puts my whole word if it so he liquidates is for one k he buys a boat a sailboat like this is a this is a child's dream. Like you talk to a four year old, be like, what would you want to do with your life?
He's like, I want to buy a sailboat. Like, that's what this dude did. Is he a professional trained sailor? No, he does not know how to sail a boat at all. He's got no literally no experience. And he's like, I'm going to buy a sailboat. He over the course of, I think a year apparently, like over YouTube and a couple other places.
**Thomas** (00:16:07:06):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:16:07:21):
Learns to sail YouTube University. He learns to sail sailboat. And then he's like, here's my life goal. I'm going to take my rescue cat, Phoenix. This cat's name is Phoenix. And me and Phoenix, we are going to get on this sailboat of mine, and we are going to sail from Oregon in the United States to Hawaii, also technically in the United States, but 20, I think it's like 2400 miles.
It's it's over 2000 miles across the Pacific Ocean that he is like, I'm just going to sail and I'm just going to do it. So. So he gets his diagnosis, it quits his job, liquidates the 400 and K buys a sailboat, sails. He says he wants to sail around the world, set sail to Hawaii. Does he make it?
Yes he does. So first of all, he should be dead like me. Let's just say that like. And this is just the coolest story. The guy is like so inspirational. The more I watch, the more I got inspired, the more because at first you're just kind of like arguing like, oh, that guy. And then it becomes kind of silly and then you're like, yeah, oh, well, this guy, this guy is an inspiration.
And he just like, it took him 24 days. Yeah, just over three weeks out in the middle of the ocean. Not exactly knowing what he's doing. Like, you seem pretty competent, but, like, went through some trials and tribulations. A whole bunch of seasickness that would throw me, like, yeah, I went, I went whale watching in Maine. This summer for like three hours, and I was a little queasy.
And he just goes out there, just him and his cat out in the middle of the ocean. 24 days ends up in Hawaii and I think gets about 2 million Instagram followers on the jury because he's like posting videos as he goes. So he does have links to whatever, you know, he can get on. But, safely makes it Hawaii.
And now he's just chilling in Hawaii with like, all of these new followers and like, basically like the governor of Hawaii was there to give him, a lei and that's. Yeah, let's not like there was like.
**Thomas** (00:18:04:10):
A big welcome party there. There's a huge welcome party.
**Chip** (00:18:06:23):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:18:07:17):
A thousand Honolulu or Bay, right?
**Chip** (00:18:10:09):
Yeah, yeah. He's he was on CNN, literally. Anderson Cooper was interviewing him in the middle of his trip. You know, there's like talking to him as he's sailing and, the so the dude just could have, could have gotten this diagnosis and just been like, well, I man, now I really have to say, if I need health insurance, I, you know, do this and then just work for the next maybe couple of decades or whatever.
And then just like, maybe feel worse and worse pain or whatever. He's like, no, I'm just I got it. I have to make memories. And I think that's like a big thing. He's like, I don't know if he said these words, but like, he wanted to make memories. He wanted to be like, he's also like, I think that the whole thing is kind of crap.
And like, the whole work until you're 65, 70, retire for two years and then drop dead, like, just, the rat race, the because he's like, if I like I think he was basically saying that like, if I worked at this job, I'm not going to be rich. I'm going to just keep making ends meet and then retire as an old man.
And then it's just over. You know, and so it's and it's like, that's kind of like you and I could have done the same thing. I was a teacher I didn't really like. I liked it, but like, I was just as burnt out with it. And, again, I didn't sail across the Pacific Ocean, but like, I pulled the ripcord and I was like, no, I'm going to do comedy, I'm going to write comedy, I'm going to travel doing standup.
And, you know, and you and I are now doing this thing. You did the same thing. And like, you had a good job and you just like, no, I got to do. I got to do this, this comedy thing. You've been you've been writing you you have an Emmy Award, which this dude doesn't have. This dude did not win an Emmy for sailing across the ocean.
And, and then we're doing this thing where we're going to Hawaii this Thanksgiving, and it's like, again, we're not sailing there. I'm not sailing solo with my cat. So, I'm not trying to put myself in the same category as him, but, it's like, live your dream in it. Especially now you just see how just, you know, the state of the world today is just just chaos.
And there's no guarantees of anything that, you know, AI is coming to take your job. This company's buying out this thing. You know, every solution, whatever it is. And it's like some people think that that's the time to get more like, hoard your money or like, really be conservative about it and like, worry more and like, maybe now's the time to be like, I'm getting out of the system.
And just like, again, I'm not saying go off the grid necessarily, but yeah, like live your life and and by the way, now and again, it's not going to work out for everybody sailing across the ocean there. If everybody tried to sail across the ocean, the island of garbage, I think it would be dwarfed by the island of just corpses and sailboats.
**Thomas** (00:20:59:12):
Just I can imagine you in your, in your yacht that you've, you know, rebuilt, fully maintained, just in, just in, I don't even know what to call it. Bumper to bumper traffic going to Hawaii and the.
**Chip** (00:21:12:22):
Oh, could you imagine that? Just every yacht.
Traffic.
Oh my God, yacht traffic would be the worst. It would, because it's just all the worst people. Yeah. Not knowing exactly how to control their vessel.
**Thomas** (00:21:27:22):
**Chip** (00:21:28:23):
There's a scene in jaws when they all try to go out and all the fishermen try to go out, and they're all chumming, and they're. And it's just chaos, and they're bumping into each other and just screaming each other like that's. Would it be for 2000 miles?
**Thomas** (00:21:39:19):
Dude, I'm glad you brought up jazz. I've been thinking about this. It's your favorite movie of all time. We're on record saying that?
**Chip** (00:21:47:17):
Yeah. By far.
**Thomas** (00:21:49:09):
What? I think we need to watch it together.
**Chip** (00:21:53:13):
No, I mean.
**Thomas** (00:21:54:17):
But, like, what would be the grandest possible environment for us to watch jaws?
**Chip** (00:22:00:23):
And have you seen there are they do screenings of, like, almost like a drive in theater, but it's like on a beach or at bay where people at night, where people are literally in like inner tubes on the ocean or in a bay. Nobody water. Watching jaws like that just sounds wild.
**Thomas** (00:22:20:15):
Dude, I'm. I'm in. Maybe we figure that out this summer. Maybe we figure out one of those things, we hit it up. Or maybe somebody has, you know, an amazing, like, pool theater or something, like. Yeah. If you guys have any idea what's the most incredible place we could watch the movie jaws together as friends for the first time.
If you have any ideas, drop them down. Drop them down. We would love to hear it.
**Chip** (00:22:47:16):
We want to go to Martha's Vineyard. If you have a place on Martha's Vineyard where they shot jaws, invite us up. We'll be there. We'll go. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:22:53:23):
If you live in a movie and want to have an MVP stop by and Chip Chantry, jaws is the number one fan. Hit us up.
**Chip** (00:23:03:05):
Yep. Do it. Speaking of MVP, yeah, I think it is now time to induct Oliver Wigger into the Once Hall of Fame. I mean, this dude is it. He's he's right up there with Jimmy Buffett. He's right up there with, Brandon Grimshaw, the guy who bought his own island.
**Thomas** (00:23:19:15):
Absolutely.
**Chip** (00:23:20:15):
And now this dude just I mean, just he didn't know how to sail, and he taught himself, and he's like, I'm just going to do this thing. Okay? By the way, I don't I couldn't do this. Like, we are doing a version of this Thomas. But just physically what he did, like get in in a small sailboat and sail across the ocean.
Here's what I would do if I. I would not be able to stomach what all of you do. That's why I get all the credit to work. I would make it a valid day. I I'd contact my friends back home to get a boat or just somewhere to get me out there. I would grab my cat, and then I would fake my own death and I would, like, overturn the boat, but let it float so people see that it's there.
Right? And then have my buddies take me back to the mainland. And then I would secretly fly to Hawaii. And then a week after the memorial service for me, I would appear atop a volcano in Hawaii with my cat and say that I have. I have been resurrected. Like, his cat's name is Phoenix. Like the phoenix rising from the ash of the volcano.
**Thomas** (00:24:28:07):
The volcanic ash.
**Chip** (00:24:29:20):
I'm back now, and that's what I do. Just so I wouldn't have to spend three plus weeks on a tiny, tiny sailboat alone in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
**Thomas** (00:24:38:15):
I think what's so inspiring about. I think there's a lot of reasons to be inspired by this guy, and he is definitely a Hall of Famer. He's right up there with those three, no doubt about it. For the circumstances, everything he did. But like I think the hardest thing is finding the passion for some people. You know, it's like you could do those things if it was your passion.
Yeah, but your passion happens elsewhere. It's in comedy. You take on your passion one hour at a time, year after year. You build it up and then you go out and tour with it. And I think for a lot of people, that would be harder to stomach than being in a boat for three weeks.
**Chip** (00:25:17:23):
Well, that's what he said when he was who's interviewed. He was saying that like, deciding to do it was the most difficult thing. He's like, I've done all these things that are impossible. Yeah. Which is which is really crazy, too, because, like, we're trying to do these, like when you first said, it's like, all right, we're going to go to Hawaii, you're going to do these shows, this big club, whatever, like out in the way.
It's like, I we can't do that. And it's like it's just like, no, like we're taking the steps and we can make the impossible possible. We're doing this thing. We're trying. We're making a living doing this and that. Is that like just taking that leap, I think is the hardest part, and then the rest just becomes, all right, well, this is what my job is now is to sail across the ocean, is to do comedy, is to whatever it might be.
And, do you know, I think that now's the time to do it, you know.
**Thomas** (00:26:02:09):
I mean, it's always the time to do it. And for some people, it's not. It's like, you know, some people it's like, oh, you do have a good situation. Like, maybe I is coming for your job in a couple of years. You want to juice out the last couple of, of, of earnings years and whatever you're doing.
But yeah, it is it's a time people are seeing a lot of, anxiety, a lot of stress, a lot of uncertainty about the future. And one kind of exciting way to look at that is like, okay, well, if the path I've been on doesn't look like it's going to pan out anymore. Yeah. If I could do anything, if I could accomplish any goal or dream and find myself in a different place a year from now than where I am, what would that be?
And I think it is so hard sometimes to find the answer that you're excited about.
**Chip** (00:26:51:01):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:26:51:18):
But that wasn't his problem. He did it. He, it's kind of a wild idea like I'm gonna learn to sail. I have no money. I'm gonna buy about and then I'm going to travel, solo with my cat across the water to the most. I believe it's the most remote island on the planet. I think it's like the furthest piece of land apart from, like, one of the main continents in the world.
And he sailed there. Yeah. And it was. I mean, I heard about this thing natively. It just showed up in my feed. Yeah. And I saw videos of this guy. I mean, the first one was kind of like, you know, hey, I'm doing this thing. It was exciting. It was inspirational. The next one I saw, he was having a problem, man.
He was trying to fix.
**Chip** (00:27:38:21):
A rudder was broken, I think.
**Thomas** (00:27:40:10):
I don't know, I don't know enough about ships. And, like, it didn't really explain it, but it was just like there's water coming in. He's cranking a wrench and then trying to seal a piece like. And it's pretty stressful. Like, yeah, this guy's put himself in kind of a legitimate life or death situation. It seems like people were watching him pretty close, and I don't know how far away the coast came.
**Chip** (00:28:02:04):
In contact with people. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
**Thomas** (00:28:04:06):
But like when you're in the middle of the ocean like a helicopters a really long way away, it is. It's like even from Los Angeles. I think that's a five hour flight to Hawaii. So if you're 2.5 hours away by plane, I don't know how it works. If they have helicopters or boats stationed all over the place, but.
**Chip** (00:28:19:18):
You can go that length, that direction.
**Thomas** (00:28:21:18):
It can go wrong. And, in the face of that, he he took it on. So he had it some adversity. He had the feel good story. He had a feeling that a lot of people are having right now. And it's just like, what am I doing with my short time on this planet? And instead of just like, easing into that bath like an old man and just like slowly letting the water cover you until you give up.
I used to have that feeling all the time with the late nights on TV shows. It's like you'd have a day it or you have something fun you want to do after work, and it's just like there. I should be able to get to this concert by 9:00 or whatever. And then just the weight of the day and the demands, what you have to get done slowly chip away at you, and you just have to kind of like at 830, you're like, I'm not going to make it.
I just have to fully give in to this thing and just understand that my evenings over.
**Chip** (00:29:16:18):
Right?
**Thomas** (00:29:17:12):
Yeah. And that it kills you a little bit on a nightly basis. But at a certain point, I think that happens to all the you have enough of those moments that you're underwater and that's just your whole life is being underwater. You're in this routine you don't like. You're not getting the benefits you hope you would out of it.
**Chip** (00:29:37:18):
**Thomas** (00:29:38:06):
And yeah, he just had enough, man. He had enough. And then and then he did this weird thing. Nobody told him to. There was nothing he fell into where he had to do this. It was like he set a goal. He learned a hard skill. He took on a dangerous challenge.
**Chip** (00:29:56:13):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:29:57:04):
And people are floored by it. So I just want to say, like, Oliver, if I know you're in Hawaii for a while, you're fixing up your ship, you're going to go somewhere else. But if you're still there on Thanksgiving, if you are there in 174 days in the islands, making preparations for your next move, we got free tickets for you.
**Chip** (00:30:18:19):
Yeah, we do.
**Thomas** (00:30:19:12):
Free taker you. And you're with a friend for you and your cat. I don't know if cats are allowed. Maybe not, but, yeah, probably bad for allergies. Yeah, it's like that. But for you and a human friend. Free tickets? Free. You just let us know.
**Chip** (00:30:33:09):
Hall of Famer right there. Congratulations, Tyler. Yeah, right. One Hall of Fame right there.
**Thomas** (00:30:38:11):
There was also one moment he described, like, he was just like there was moments when the ocean was glass.
**Chip** (00:30:44:17):
Glass in the.
**Thomas** (00:30:45:22):
Middle of it. And as far as he could look in any direction, it was just clear, calm water and, you know, a sunrise, a sunset on that type of environment. He just said it was breathtaking and something he'll never forget.
**Chip** (00:31:02:08):
Yeah, yeah.
**Thomas** (00:31:03:17):
Have you ever seen something that you'll never forget? Yep.
**Chip** (00:31:07:19):
I saw a kid, fall off a, a motorcycle thing at Chuck-e-cheese when I was little. That was hilarious. I was about seven, and he was about five, and he took a header, and it was hilarious. So I think that's. I think that's right up there with, being surrounded by the entire Pacific Ocean, seeing the sun set on complete glass.
Same thing.
**Thomas** (00:31:29:06):
Yeah. I think thing I will never forget is, I believe Michael Jackson had just passed away. Okay. And I was walking down, either sunset or Hollywood Boulevard, wherever Michael Jackson star was at the time.
**Chip** (00:31:42:04):
Yep.
**Thomas** (00:31:42:17):
And, there was, like, a vigil going on for him. And I saw a crazy woman, a woman who was fully on drugs, pick out a random couple and attack a man physically, at this, Michael Jackson memorial. I'll just never forget. She had a crazed look, and this guy was like, what the.
**Chip** (00:32:06:15):
Did the couple beat it? That's what I wanted.
**Thomas** (00:32:08:16):
No, no, it it was bad.
**Chip** (00:32:10:17):
A real, real thriller. A real.
**Thomas** (00:32:12:21):
Thriller. But, chips. Speaking of sunsets.
**Chip** (00:32:16:19):
I, I'm, I'm going to say this right now. I love a good sunset. I'm also a sunrise guy. And I think this is a weird thing because we're East Coast people. We got West Coast people. The sun and a little, little history lesson.
**Thomas** (00:32:28:13):
Yeah, a little geography lesson.
**Chip** (00:32:30:02):
The sun sets in the west. It rises in the east. I like a good sunrise, because then you're there, comes up, and then you get the rest of the day ahead of you. That's the fun thing. You're first in line at breakfast, everybody. You see a sunset. You're kind of like, it's the cool. There's nobody there to see the sunrise.
No. Who wants to wake up to go see a sunrise? This guy right here, you'll get a surprise. I love it.
**Thomas** (00:32:50:08):
Yeah. No, I get it. And I think that makes sense. Coming from the East Coast, I'm. I'm a nice sunset person.
**Chip** (00:32:55:05):
And I love a good sunset. To love a good sunset. It's just the, it's it's it because we have the bay. So it's like, it's nice. You can you can watch it go over the bay. Yeah. Beautiful. Just gorgeous. I, I will say.
**Thomas** (00:33:08:00):
This, I do think that, like, I think Sun Rises are a solo endeavor. Generally you wake up early, you're doing it by yourself. Sunsets are a communal experience. You'll see. Dude, everybody. When when we're in Waikiki, it is almost on. On a day where it's not completely cloudy, it is almost like a religious ceremony, dude. Like you just had outside around sunset.
And you will see everybody on the island just there's like this little park kind of halfway between, like the main hotel stretches.
**Chip** (00:33:41:22):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:33:42:08):
And it is just full. Every single person stops what they're doing, hunkers down and just experiences the sunset for like 15 minutes. It is truly breathtaking, but it's communal. And I also appreciate a sunrise.
**Chip** (00:33:57:03):
That is a beautiful thing.
**Thomas** (00:33:58:12):
You woke up early. It's you versus the world. You know. It's like the only quiet time you get in your life before the sun comes out. Yeah, if you happen to be awake and then you kind of take this thing on is it's inspiring in a different way. Yeah. It's you by yourself. Sunset can be you and a bunch of people.
**Chip** (00:34:17:06):
It could also be you and, a lady friend, the wife, whatever. You know, like. Yeah, a a romantic, situation, you know?
**Thomas** (00:34:25:12):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:34:26:01):
Yeah.
So if.
**Thomas** (00:34:27:17):
You're, if you were in a sunset situation with, with with, a lady friend. Sure.
**Chip** (00:34:36:02):
Oh, what's the worst.
**Thomas** (00:34:38:09):
Thing you could say to mess that situation up? Like you're in this beautiful, wonderful setting? What comes out of your mouth that just blows the whole thing to smithereens? Ship.
**Chip** (00:34:52:15):
Maybe something like, you know, it's like it's just about over, you know? It's just the sun is down. It's down over the water, and you just say, there goes the sun, and here comes the tickle monster. You know what I mean? Like that's it. Nobody wants to hear that.
**Thomas** (00:35:07:16):
And, I think.
**Chip** (00:35:09:12):
Okay, go. Well, what would you say?
**Thomas** (00:35:12:12):
What, what if it was something like. This is amazing, but do you know how special this would be if, like, I was in love with you?
**Chip** (00:35:22:22):
Just the nicest way. This. It's called sun setting. I think it's the sun setting a relationship. That's. Yeah. What you do? Yeah. Okay. Well, speaking of sunsetting, you could say something like this. Like, Wasn't that a beautiful sunset? Speaking of sunsets, we need to talk about your grandma.
Yes.
**Thomas** (00:35:43:10):
That is a all too real conversation too many people have to have. But you got to get into it somehow, chip.
**Chip** (00:35:49:02):
Yeah. Yes you do. It's just a nice little way. Yeah. Breaks the ice.
**Thomas** (00:35:55:12):
What about, like, just really calling a spade a spade and, like, I understand that this is beautiful.
**Chip** (00:36:04:07):
**Thomas** (00:36:05:12):
But are we really going to sit here and pretend like this isn't the main cause of global warming?
**Chip** (00:36:10:13):
If you think.
**Thomas** (00:36:11:03):
About it, Chip, it's true. It is true without the sun, there's no global warming. It's the main cause.
**Chip** (00:36:16:21):
You make fun of that. My first date with my now wife was. It was at the beginning of January, many years ago. And it was it just in Philadelphia just happened to be a very warm you know, it's January, you're zero degrees, you know, it's cold. It just happened to be a very warm stretch. Like every once in a while you get this every couple years.
And there was like three days where it was like 50, 60 degrees out. Right. And it was it was kind of rainy a little bit. It was like misty rainy, but it was like 50, 60 degrees out in January. And I pick her up and I'm like, hey, isn't this cool? It's kind of warm. And she's like, yeah, the polar bears are all dying.
And I was like, that was like our first date. Like the first five minutes of a first date. And I was like, wow, this she is not happy right now. This is not going to last. Flash forward almost 20 years still going. And there's still a couple polar bears left.
**Thomas** (00:37:04:00):
There's still a couple, but a lot.
**Chip** (00:37:05:21):
Perish what I might go with this. Speaking of geography. Okay. By science, what if he says so? The sun's going down. You're like, it's so beautiful, even though it's just an atmospheric refraction, because the Earth is flat.
**Thomas** (00:37:25:09):
Now you're bringing hard science into a romantic city.
**Chip** (00:37:28:00):
Real, real science in there.
**Thomas** (00:37:29:11):
Yeah. And ladies, don't get science, chip.
**Chip** (00:37:31:21):
Oh, they don't understand that the world is flat, and we're just on top of a stack of turtles that just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And it's just it's just NASA and the other people in the deep state that are telling us that we're a globe. No, no, thank you.
**Thomas** (00:37:48:21):
What about, you're getting real intimate. You're up on a beautiful overlook. The sun setting all the colors, all the colors in the world. And they're all. They just whisper to that special someone. Do you think Shia LaBeouf is looking at the same thing right now?
**Chip** (00:38:10:11):
Just bringing Shia into it is just. It just kills the mood because you're thinking about him, not her.
**Thomas** (00:38:16:21):
And now she's thinking about him.
**Chip** (00:38:18:13):
Hey, maybe that's a good thing. I don't know, yeah. Yeah, bringing other things into it. Like, maybe it's like, okay, yeah, maybe something like, like. All right, it goes down, the sun's down. This is. Yeah, of course this. It's still painted red. Beautiful and everything. But the sun's go down and you just say, all right, we did your thing.
Now let's go watch that Steely Dan documentary. I wanted to.
**Thomas** (00:38:41:16):
Tit for tat.
**Chip** (00:38:42:20):
Just ruin the mood.
**Thomas** (00:38:44:02):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:38:44:22):
Yeah, it's it's just there's.
**Thomas** (00:38:46:23):
Nothing that makes, that makes a romantic situation fade away faster than you wanting credit.
**Chip** (00:38:53:16):
Yes. Yeah. I want to see how they made pretzel logic.
**Thomas** (00:38:57:02):
What about, like, Oh, just like somebody who is.
Like, okay, this has been nice, but let's get the hell out of here before I have to see one of those disgusting stars in the sky.
**Chip** (00:39:12:11):
You're just. You were so appalled by the wonder of the cosmos.
**Thomas** (00:39:18:04):
And nature's beauty. Like, one time, a million comedians went out into the desert and, may have done some recreational mushrooms.
**Chip** (00:39:28:17):
Sure.
**Thomas** (00:39:29:06):
And, one of the, it's. I speaking. We talked about things we'd never forget seeing earlier. I remember looking up at the night sky. We were in, like, Joshua Tree out in the desert. Yeah. And all the stars in the sky had been concentrated to about like a circle this size.
**Chip** (00:39:49:02):
Yeah, yeah.
**Thomas** (00:39:50:01):
Like, And I it's just like all that light coming in this very small space, like the kind of the ground grew up around it. And, in the moment, I thought it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
**Chip** (00:40:02:19):
Of course, of course, but it turns out you just fell into a snake hole.
**Thomas** (00:40:08:10):
Yes. Well, I mean, close enough. Like, I also had another experience that night where,
**Chip** (00:40:14:02):
Where.
**Thomas** (00:40:15:09):
I was just staring at this. This bush.
**Chip** (00:40:18:11):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:40:18:17):
Like it was this bush in the desert, and I was. I was locked in on this thing. And, of.
**Chip** (00:40:23:02):
Course.
**Thomas** (00:40:23:23):
I was vibing with it. And by the way, the whole world looked like sand art to me at this point. Like, sure, it was just a beautiful tableau, and the bush turned its head, and I don't know how a bush has a head, she says. Looks directly at me and goes, you okay bro? And it was my friend Matt who, was trying to go to the restroom, and I, I, I just standing there staring at this guy peering.
**Chip** (00:40:58:21):
And I'm with just.
**Thomas** (00:41:01:10):
Like a blank expression, way too close. I swear to God, I had no idea it was a person I literally was looking at a bush. And when this bush turned and looked at me and spoke.
**Chip** (00:41:14:02):
Let's start talking.
**Thomas** (00:41:14:22):
The mushrooms had wiped away any ability I had to regulate my emotions or understand if I was safe or what was going on. Yeah, and it led. It was like one of the most terrifying moments in my life. And it wasn't till later did I realize that, like, I was, two feet away from my buddy whose privates were out just just staring at him with probably a slack jaw to the point where he was like, you're good, dude.
**Chip** (00:41:43:10):
You're good. You're right bro. Amazing. That could be. Yeah, that could be something you could say along those lines. You could say something like, Well, I guess I timed it wrong because the ketamine is not going to kick in until the drive home.
But it just.
It doesn't it doesn't warrant, confidence.
**Thomas** (00:42:04:00):
Yeah, yeah. No, it doesn't. And, I assume, like it's worse if you're driving.
**Chip** (00:42:10:23):
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:42:14:03):
Well, what about, like, this is a creepier vibe, but like, It's going to be completely black soon, and we're pretty far out, so no one will be able to hear or see us.
**Chip** (00:42:32:04):
Yeah. Just just laying out the parameters of what's happening right now. It's just the two of us.
**Thomas** (00:42:37:18):
Yeah. That's the that's that's a person that wants to see somebody realize what a desperate situation there.
**Chip** (00:42:45:04):
Yeah, yeah.
**Thomas** (00:42:46:02):
And I don't think that's romantic at all. Chip. Maybe that's just me.
**Chip** (00:42:49:12):
Or you could be more direct and say something like this, like, Well, I hope you enjoy it, because it's going to be your last one. Just really. Right down, right down the barrel, you know, let them know. Yeah.
I don't know what else.
Or you could go a nice you could go a nicer route.

Yeah. That one. That was rough. That one is. Yeah. That just ruins the mood. Yeah, yeah. Or the. Yeah. You try to get. Maybe you try to get romantic, but you're like, it's just not vibing like, So you say something like, wow, I've only taken three lessons, but this sunset calls for a song on the old saxophone.
So here goes.
**Thomas** (00:44:04:20):
Speaking of two LA, have you ever been up close to somebody playing a saxophone?
**Chip** (00:44:09:17):
Yeah, I have, I'll admit it.
**Thomas** (00:44:11:22):
It's the equivalent of two, ambulance alarms.
**Chip** (00:44:15:20):
It is a loud venture. There are a lot of pipes and holes and yeah, it's like. Yeah, it's like it's. It's like a steampunk bird dying is basically what's happening.
**Thomas** (00:44:27:19):
I was second chair saxophone and the fifth, fifth grade band.
**Chip** (00:44:32:06):
Look at you. I was about third chair trumpet in the fifth grade band. Oh.
**Thomas** (00:44:35:23):
That's, so a lot of tight lip work, Chip.
**Chip** (00:44:39:13):
That's why I'm podcasting these days. So. Got those toy lips, I know.
**Thomas** (00:44:43:02):
Oh, that's how that's how you get the, the suppleness. What what about this? Like, you can choose to watch or not, but I'm going to fulfill my dream right now of mooning the sun.
**Chip** (00:44:55:20):
You're bringing in other bodies of the cosmos. I love it, you're just a moon in the sun. I am offering this situation right.
To be for you. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, I love it. That's great. Or what if it's, Yeah. You just. You're opening up one way. What if you open up the other way too much? Like, wow, there's orange and red everywhere. Which reminds me, did I ever tell you the time about how I had too many Cheetos and Hawaiian Punch.
To.
Takes all of the romance out of it? Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:45:28:19):
So many children's snacks stand so well.
**Chip** (00:45:32:08):
So bad, so bad.
**Thomas** (00:45:33:17):
Can you believe people used to worship this thing instead of Zorg, the true lizard god?
**Chip** (00:45:43:00):
Yeah.
It's just you're just so dissed. Oh, yeah. That's that's. Yeah. Just like this is dumb. But here's my new religious belief that I need to lay on you. Yeah, you could go, Or you could just go sad. You just like the sun is going down. You just whisper in their ear. Did you hear that? Big bird died.
Today? A little a.
**Thomas** (00:46:08:11):
Little childhood trauma. Bring him back. A little childhood trauma. Yeah. Do you think when the sun's getting ready to perform, it has a set list? Sunset list. And there's only one track on. And it's going down.

You're just doing bits a bit.
Is you ever. Do you ever notice?
Do you ever wonder that?
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:46:33:04):
And then you try and, give her a nut tap. This is work.
**Chip** (00:46:39:02):
Look for the horsing around. Yeah. Oh, man.
That's great. What about this? Maybe you think. Okay, just you're watching the sunset, and it's just quiet, and then you just turn and say, this sunset is brought to you by Blue Apron. Fresh ingredients and chef designed recipes delivered to your door.
**Thomas** (00:47:01:11):

One person at a time.
**Thomas** (00:47:06:18):

And a merry Christmas. Indeed it will be when you're counting half pennies a day. That is tough.
**Chip** (00:47:32:06):
Okay, what about this? Like, maybe just simple, like you're just like, the sun's down. It just goes down. It's basically over. It's just nice and quiet, and you just. And it's dark, right? So you haven't really been you. Everybody's been focused up on the sky for the 15, 20 minutes and you just say, well, I guess it's time to put my pants back on.
