**Thomas** (00:00:00:00 - 00:00:06:03): I need this episode this week, buddy. I am feeling a little low. I'm trying to get a little high. **Chip** (00:00:06:04 - 00:00:18:18): Yeah. The same. I'm excited too. Like, it's like my hour reprieve. Like coming here to do this. Talking to people. And, Yeah, it's it's been a great week, and it's. And I'm excited to go on vacation in my mind for about an hour. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:00:18:18 - 00:00:23:02): I feel like it's important this week. We'll get this started. Are you feeling like one today? **Chip** (00:00:23:04 - 00:00:31:20): Yep. I'm feeling more like one than ever. Let's put this on. Boom! Slather it. Get some. Just the smell of it, man, I just. **Thomas** (00:00:32:02 - 00:00:37:16): Oh, okay. Okay. I've. Chip. Chip. It's working. Are you feeling it? I really am. I really. **Chip** (00:00:37:16 - 00:00:39:02): Am. You're transformed. **Thomas** (00:00:39:02 - 00:00:45:03): The video version of this podcast must be so good for folks that just love men touching their face. **Chip** (00:00:45:03 - 00:00:49:10): The amount of eye candy could make your blood sugar go through the roof. **Thomas** (00:00:49:11 - 00:00:58:21): You tell me another piece of content where you can see more men touching their face than the first. You know, five minutes of, any scentbird podcast. **Chip** (00:00:58:22 - 00:01:01:11): There is literally none on the internet. Oh my God. **Thomas** (00:01:01:11 - 00:01:23:10): Chip, I'm feeling so good. I'm going to throw this at you. Just it just to get us into another level of tropical kick. If we were in Waikiki right now, I'm sitting at the beach bar at the Moana Surfrider. What would be the perfect meal? Like what? Like you just got to Waikiki. Yeah. You set your bags wherever. Wherever at a hotel. You walk over to the beach bar. What are you ordering? That's going to put you in just that perfect state. You got the water right there. Splash. And the sun's coming down. People are relaxed af. They don't have a problem in the world. That waiter comes over. What? What's on your order right now? **Chip** (00:01:42:05 - 00:01:44:04): But it's just two fists of mai tais, baby. **Thomas** (00:01:44:04 - 00:01:46:10): Two mai tai. Oh, dude. Come on. **Chip** (00:01:46:13 - 00:01:50:18): That's got an hour. Thai is what that is. **Thomas** (00:01:50:20 - 00:01:54:08): And, it's not Mai Tai. It's our Thai outlet. They're both for. **Chip** (00:01:54:08 - 00:01:56:23): Me. Yeah. You got to hydrate, though. I mean, hydration is important. **Thomas** (00:01:56:23 - 00:01:57:19): It's very important. **Chip** (00:01:58:01 - 00:02:16:08): So you get a little water, you get a mai tai, maybe a marg. You know something? You got to get something a little fruity. Yeah. Then so I go light in the. In the heat in the beach. You try to maybe a nice, maybe a nice, like, fish platter. Like like a little fish. Maybe. Maybe like a little. Maybe a calamari sampler. Maybe a little, I don't know, maybe like a, maybe a little salmon with, maybe like salmon with some, like, like pineapple going on. You know what I'm saying? That fruity little rice issue, you know, like something like that. That's that's what I'm going for because I grew up also. I grew up an hour from the Jersey shore, where we just go the exact opposite direction. There's. Yeah, there is nothing healthy or light. Go. It's it's ice cream sandwiches. It's gigantic pizzas. It's French fries. It's ice cream. So it just to be able to be in a place where you're like, okay, I'm going to be in the heat and also eat something relatively healthy. It feels pretty good. Although, but I, I love it, nothing much, nothing wrong. And I've eaten a lot of that junk food on the boardwalk. Yeah, on the jersey shore. So, yeah. **Thomas** (00:03:11:12 - 00:03:20:07): There's so much fresh fish there to like. You can really, really, really, have a fresh catch there if fish is what you're going for. **Chip** (00:03:20:08 - 00:03:29:09): I don't know if you know this. I know you've been to way more times than I have. It's literally surrounded by water. **Thomas** (00:03:29:11 - 00:03:30:06): It is. **Chip** (00:03:30:11 - 00:03:31:20): Literally. **Thomas** (00:03:31:22 - 00:03:39:18): It is. And it's, you know, it's, tremendous. And I, I don't know, do you do, pokey? Do you do, like, raw fish at all? You sushi guy? **Chip** (00:03:39:20 - 00:03:43:00): Yeah. I haven't done pokey a whole lot, but I do love me some sushi. **Thomas** (00:03:43:03 - 00:04:02:19): Yeah. Okay, y'all, you'll you'll love pokey when we get out there. And I do know there's there's kind of a local I had local. It's like Waikiki, but pokey nachos, buddy. They just put the pokey on some chips for you. You can scoop them up there right by the sea. It's a little salty. It's a little crunchy. It's a little raw fish. **Chip** (00:04:02:21 - 00:04:17:07): I got I gotta tell you this. That warms my heart because I'm going to. I'm going to break some news to the world right now. I'm not a cheese guy. I don't like cheese. So, like nacho cheese, like anything you put is to me is disgusting. I love mozzarella, mozzarella, some pizza, whatever. Great. **Thomas** (00:04:17:07 - 00:04:22:21): Do you just have somebody pointing just a cannoli at you, forcing you to say, like mozzarella in South Philly? **Chip** (00:04:23:02 - 00:04:37:02): I'm literally in a basement in South Philly. I have to say that right now, but, I do love my aunt's pizza. I love but any other kind of cheese I hate, too. It's like nachos is like, it's the worst for me. So. But if you say like, fish and like that, like. Yeah. Okay. Not a I'm, You've just opened up a new alley in my life. **Thomas** (00:04:40:04 - 00:04:43:15): You're a big, not all cheeses guy. Yes. Not all cheeses. **Chip** (00:04:43:15 - 00:04:49:06): Not all cheeses. Cheeses is. Yes. Cheeses is the reason for the season. Go ahead. **Thomas** (00:04:49:08 - 00:05:10:12): For me. I'm going. Yeah, it's not even a question. And it's what I do every time it's a mitai. Give yourself a welcome drink. A Waikiki special and I'm going burger, but I'm going the opposite direction. Burger for I respect it. Sometimes they put a little, put a little pork on top of your burger. Yeah, really? It's put that little extra decadent kick, and I'm doing that by the beach. And, Chip, I am feeling better. How are you feeling? **Chip** (00:05:18:19 - 00:05:27:19): I'm in the zone right now. I'm. Yes. I can feel those summer rays that that warm air, cool breeze coming off the ocean. I'm feeling it. **Thomas** (00:05:27:21 - 00:05:36:01): Yeah. It's working. And if you want to continue feeling the vibes, stay tuned. Front desk. **Chip** (00:05:36:03 - 00:05:39:20): Hi, this is Mr. Chantry in room 308. I was wondering, do you do dry cleaning? **Thomas** (00:05:39:22 - 00:05:40:22): Yes. **Chip** (00:05:41:00 - 00:05:43:01): Oh, great. I'll send the cat down. **Thomas** (00:05:43:03 - 00:05:46:14): Mr. Chantry, there's no cats allowed here. **Chip** (00:05:46:15 - 00:05:50:15): Oh, it's really more, a guy in a cat suit. **Thomas** (00:05:50:17 - 00:06:04:16): Oh, send Frederick down. Chip. It's episode 17 of the sunburnt podcast. We talk about tropical travel. And we, we're we're in the comedy world. We're kind of putting those two things together. **Chip** (00:06:04:16 - 00:06:16:01): It's like a fluffernutter of comedy and tropical travel. It's just like a fluffernutter. Fluffernutter was just full of, like, sand and shattered dreams. **Thomas** (00:06:16:02 - 00:06:17:05): Just all. **Chip** (00:06:17:07 - 00:06:18:20): In Britain. White bread. **Thomas** (00:06:18:22 - 00:06:25:15): I want to say this is the fourth Fluffernutter comment you've made on this podcast. **Chip** (00:06:25:17 - 00:06:30:05): I have not had a fluffernutter in years. Maybe it's just fluffernutter on the on the mind. **Thomas** (00:06:30:09 - 00:06:43:00): It's fluffernutter on the mind. I'm wondering if it's fluffernutter on the pocketbook. Are you getting paid by big fluffernutter to, you know, do a sponsorship on the Senate podcast that you're not cutting me in on it? **Chip** (00:06:43:02 - 00:06:53:19): Yes. And, I am and big Fluffernutter is actually the name of my, the nickname of my neighbor Steve. That's what we call him. And we're not allowed to tell you why. **Thomas** (00:06:53:21 - 00:07:03:02): Well, that's disturbing. Chip. Chip, we are. We are sitting at 167 days until Chip Chantry is Thanksgiving in Paradise. **Chip** (00:07:03:08 - 00:07:04:16): The countdown continues. **Thomas** (00:07:04:20 - 00:07:18:05): The countdown continues. Hawaii is happening all day, every day. It's a real place. It exists. But we won't be there for 167 days. And I am getting freaking pumped. **Chip** (00:07:18:05 - 00:07:37:21): I can't wait, I'm just. It's becoming more real. And all of the summertime in Philadelphia. Like I'm feeling the summer vibes. Yeah. Oh, I got to tell you this. So you are the Hawaiian shirt guy. You declared yourself a Hawaiian shirt guy. I'm a white shirt. Yeah, yeah, you're a Hawaiian shirt, man. And first rank and, I am starting to embrace it. I guess, like, I've gotten a couple and, I'm wearing it for the podcast, and I can't wait to wear them in Hawaii the other night, I decide. I think I have to. I've told you the thing where my wife and I, we might have, like, a little, little beverage and a solo cup, and we walked down to the diner in South Philly. I mean, that's how classy we are. Beautiful night. And I was like, you know what? I usually just wear, you know, shorts and a t shirt. And I was like, I am going to throw on this exact shirt, my red Hawaiian shirt, like shorts in that retro iron shirt. Why not just cause I'm drinking a drink? It feels a little tropical. And let's do this. Thomas, on my way back from the diner, we are petting Georgie. Who is this little, French bulldog? A two blocks down from us. This this lady, she sits with Georgie. Georgie. He's like, the sweetest dog. And we're petting, petting Georgie. And she's like. And the lady's like, oh, my God, I love your shirt. It's like, so much fun. I was like, oh, thank you. I figured, you know, it's that time of year. Like, whatever. She's like, it's just you just. It looks great. Like, why don't more people wear something like that? Was it? Yeah. Right. And I was like a Hawaiian shirt. It's just a fun five. So it was nice to get that compliment from her. Yeah. On my first, first ride with it. My first spin, I literally take because it's kind of a cramped little sidewalk. I take like three steps forward to let my wife pet the dog. Then because she has to get in there, get Georgie. **Thomas** (00:08:58:12 - 00:08:58:21): She gets. **Chip** (00:08:58:21 - 00:09:14:12): A turn, not even 30s. After this lady compliments my shirt, a guy in a pickup truck pulls up and it's a it's a start, a traffic light there he stopped at the traffic light. He's got his window open. He looks at me and just goes. **Thomas** (00:09:14:12 - 00:09:18:07): Yo, that's a great shirt, man. That is a great shirt. **Chip** (00:09:18:07 - 00:09:39:12): I was like, thanks, buddy. And like, This is Philadelphia. You can tell when somebody's being facetious or mean or sarcastic. And this dude was just into the shirt. So within 30s, on my first night out with the Hawaiian shirt, I got comments and I am Hawaiian shirt guy. Now I'm going to be wearing it out a lot more, this summer. **Thomas** (00:09:39:14 - 00:09:57:07): Dude, it doesn't have to be every time. But when it hits, it hits good. It's one of the things you throw it on, and I mean, like a you don't get that level of comments, even if you're wearing the most stylish outfit on the planet. No, people don't talk about men's clothes to them. They just don't. **Chip** (00:09:57:09 - 00:09:58:01): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:09:58:03 - 00:10:11:23): But when you throw on that shirt, you're making a decision not to. Just, like, put yourself in a little bit better mode, but it's like something that's touching the people around you. But you were lifting their spirits as well. It's like almost, a little visual gift you're giving them, too. **Chip** (00:10:12:04 - 00:10:26:11): I never realized it. Like, it just didn't dawned on me, like how you're giving back if you're wearing a dress and it's. I think it's also disarming to like, especially somewhere in Philly, like, people are always a little on edge. You're a little, like, worried, like, who's this guy? What's going on? And you see a guy had a tropical shirt and you're just like, he. At the very least, he probably has a couple cocktails in him, so he's probably not that dangerous. **Thomas** (00:10:32:03 - 00:10:33:16): Yeah, you can probably subdue him. **Chip** (00:10:33:16 - 00:10:45:04): You could bring him down. And so I think it makes you a little more, you know, it's like this is more annoying, but it's like the guy who wears a tutu while running a marathon, you know, like that guy, right? **Thomas** (00:10:45:06 - 00:10:46:13): Yeah. Do you know anything but, like. Man. **Chip** (00:10:46:15 - 00:10:53:16): But it's less performative, though. It less performative. It's just like, hey, I'm just this guy. I'm doing this thing. **Thomas** (00:10:53:20 - 00:11:10:11): Yeah. No, my my wife is firmly. And she's like, you should make business cards. That has, like, a QR code. And every time somebody comes up and says something nice about your shirt because it's like, I mean, in my case, it's never women. It's like dudes that are kind of like, I wish I was more in that shirt. Yep. She was like, whenever anybody comes up, you know, they're one, you know, they're burnt ones. You should just give them a little business card that lets them know what you're about. To show some of the podcast, show some chip Chantry Thanksgiving Paradise, because those are the people that need this message. It's tough to reach them, Chip. **Chip** (00:11:27:04 - 00:11:42:02): It really is. And I think it's a code. And like, I feel like we're and I just but and by the way, it's like once you are aware of something you see it all the time. So now I'm seeing people, mostly guys with people with Hawaiian shirts, like out in the wild now, and it's a lot more fun to to notice that. And you just there's a little bit of a bond, a little bit of a kinship. So I highly recommend if you're out there and you're like, I'm looking for something to wear this summer, just not something you, but maybe you're like, man, the Hawaiian shirt thing's not for me. It's a little too loud. It's a little too boisterous. Maybe that's a it's. I feel like it's just. It's a good feeling. You just. You get in there, you slip in, and I think you get a little bit of. I don't want to say respect from people. It's not exactly respect. It's not reverence. It's just positive. I think it's just positive vibes. And I hate to sound like that guy, but I think it literally is just some nice, positive vibes coming out where you're just like, you're giving it off. It's a positive thing. And then people are going to give it back to you. **Thomas** (00:12:22:22 - 00:12:43:06): Yeah, and it's a narrow lane too. You're not opening yourselves up to like, every line of weirdo that wants to talk to you or whatever it, it has in my experience, like I'm not 24 over seven. Like, sometimes I just want to be incognito, of course. But when people do come talk to me about a Hawaiian, I'm wearing out and about it. It's it's always the most delightful people in my experience. I'm sure. I'm sure that's not the case every time, but it's welcome. Some positive interactions which like as a dude walking around on the street, yeah, I there's so few times that like somebody happily a stranger wants to exchange anything with me, you know. Of course. Right. So this is, this is just opening up for a little positive contact. If you're looking for a little positive contact, throw in a Hawaiian shirt brought to you by Big Hawaiian shirt. We're also brought to you by Fluffernutter. This is a very, promotion heavy episode. **Chip** (00:13:15:11 - 00:13:19:03): It really is. And, here it comes. Let's throw to commercial. **Thomas** (00:13:19:05 - 00:13:20:20): All right. **Chip** (00:13:20:22 - 00:13:30:10): So, wait, we don't have commercials yet, I see. Oh, Thomas. I'm sorry. There's no camera. I see, I, I thought I seamlessly threw to a commercial, and we just don't have them right now. **Thomas** (00:13:30:12 - 00:13:33:11): If you want to go record a Fluffernutter commercial. **Chip** (00:13:33:13 - 00:13:49:10): You like peanut butter, you like fluff. Smash them together with Fluffernutter. It's okay. Let me ask you this. What? Okay. I need you to give me your ingredients for a fluffernutter right now. How do you make a fluffernutter, Tom? **Thomas** (00:13:49:10 - 00:13:55:00): So I will tell you right now, I have no idea what it is. It's something you brought up many times. **Chip** (00:13:55:02 - 00:13:58:00): Oh, okay. So this is an East Coast thing. Maybe. So you I think. **Thomas** (00:13:58:02 - 00:14:04:23): I, I you can order at this restaurant I really like. It's like one of their like they have a take on it for a dessert option. **Chip** (00:14:05:01 - 00:14:05:08): Okay. **Thomas** (00:14:05:11 - 00:14:20:09): I believe it's kind of like a sandwich. This one is kind of like a donut with, like, stuffing inside of it. Okay. I believe it's peanut butter. It sounds like some kind of marshmallow and banana. Is that. Is that kind of. **Chip** (00:14:20:09 - 00:14:40:21): I feel like there's different takes, I'm sure. I don't know if there's an exact definition. And let us know what your definition of a fluffernutter is. Put a comment in their. Okay. It's so from me. It is. You're right. It's a sandwich that a child eats. Yeah, it's peanut butter marshmallow fluff. Are you familiar with marshmallow fluff. Is that an East Coast thing or. **Thomas** (00:14:40:23 - 00:14:45:03): No, that's how you make fudge. I've used. I've used, marshmallow fluff fudge. **Chip** (00:14:45:07 - 00:15:04:01): So it's basically just, peanut butter marshmallow fluff sandwich. I see, I grew up that sometimes was a triple decker, like a club sandwich. You'd also have jelly in there, too. But some people really like now. Jellies. Overdoing it. Yeah. So peanut butter, jelly and fluff. Wow. Some people might take the flow. I know I have heard bananas too. Not necessarily in the fluffernutter lane, but, like, I've definitely heard of, like, peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Like, I think that's like, I think there's, like, Elvis Presley. He's like, favorite food was like, fried peanut butter banana sandwiches. Yeah. But I definitely heard of that. And I could see that coming into the fluffernutter world. I could see. **Thomas** (00:15:22:00 - 00:15:26:07): That. I mean, it's the only fluffernutter I've ever known. Yep. **Chip** (00:15:26:09 - 00:15:28:03): So you didn't grow up with Fluffernutter. That's that wasn't it. **Thomas** (00:15:28:03 - 00:15:28:23): Didn't grow up with love or not? **Chip** (00:15:29:00 - 00:15:31:12): It was not an Oregon centric. **Thomas** (00:15:31:14 - 00:15:37:01): It was not in Oregon or Southern California centric, thing that I was aware of, you know? **Chip** (00:15:37:03 - 00:15:45:03): Okay. So your seven year old in rural Oregon or suburban Oregon, would it be rural, a suburban? **Thomas** (00:15:45:05 - 00:15:58:08): Well, we weren't a suburb of anything. It was just like a it was a small town. We had a city center. Yeah. And then, you know, you could drive through that in about five minutes and you're kind of out in some, you know, subdivisions, that kind of stuff. **Chip** (00:15:58:12 - 00:16:11:08): Sure. Okay. So you're seven. It's the summertime. You come in for lunch, your mom, maybe your dad, or just you whip up a lunch. What do you have in, **Thomas** (00:16:11:10 - 00:16:14:10): I mean, peanut butter and jelly sandwich sounds about right. **Chip** (00:16:14:12 - 00:16:15:05): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:16:15:07 - 00:16:37:13): I think there was. That was heavily in the rotation because I would eat it and it was cross effective, and it was easy to make. It's like, hitting a lot of, elements there. There was also a meat sandwich version. Okay. Whatever. Deli meat, was in the fridge, a little mayo. I was not a mustard guy, so get that out of here. Very, very plain eater when I was a kid. Yeah. And then the third thing I would accept is top Robin. Nether all that top robin. **Chip** (00:16:47:22 - 00:16:52:15): I always like middle ramen. Just right. Just in the middle. Right. I'm in my favorite. **Thomas** (00:16:52:20 - 00:16:54:17): I'm a little fancy with my ramen, though. **Chip** (00:16:54:18 - 00:16:57:07): I don't need bottom. Robin. That's not something that I'm going to. **Thomas** (00:16:57:09 - 00:17:03:10): No, you're not a you're not a garbage pig. Oh, yeah. **Chip** (00:17:03:12 - 00:17:15:17): I, by the way, is speaking of sour. It is summer. It's like almost. This is like one of my favorite weeks of the year. Like it's school is out. It's beets coming out. Is it out in LA yet? Or. And it's different. I think I. **Thomas** (00:17:15:17 - 00:17:25:18): Think there's like, you know, there's the private there's the public. I think I think most of them are out. But, I think maybe a couple are still going on. I saw some, some kiddos walking to school the other day. **Chip** (00:17:25:20 - 00:17:44:23): There is a thing in I guess it's a thing now. I don't know if you see it in L.A, but in Philly where the kids like, you know, you might have a graduation party or whatever, and like, this will be there'll be streamers and maybe balloons out, you know, congrats over how worse it's become. An industry. And it just a it's a little over the top. It's like every and of course it's not just graduation, so it's graduation. And then it's like eighth grade graduation in like elementary school and cue card and graduate preschool. Right. It's like, all right, spare me. But especially for the high school graduation where it's like, congratulations, grad. It's it's the streamers, the balloons in the color of the high school that they went to. Then they'll literally have, like, signs and banners with a picture of the kid with their name on it. So, like, congratulations, Thomas O'Brien with like, your graduation photo there too. Yeah. It's it looks like you're running for Comptroller of Commencements. Yeah. Like you don't I mean, like, it's like, yeah, it's. Hey. And good for them I guess. Good for them. Yeah. But like they really do it up and it's like plaster the picture, but like, somebody is making a lot of money off of that. Like, that wasn't a thing that I ever remember happening. But somebody is like, yeah, I can make millions of dollars dollars because one kid has to have it, the other kid has to have it, you know? So it's like, that's how have the picture. You gotta have the whole thing. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:18:45:08 - 00:19:11:21): I, I was looking at a place with a realtor, and he said that, like, parents pay. That was like his phrase. He was like, it was a good school district area. He's like, parents pay. And if you like, insinuate that your child might be lesser than if you don't pay whatever this fee is to have this thing done, but you can sell a parent almost anything. **Chip** (00:19:11:22 - 00:19:32:14): Yeah, yeah, I think that's why are we doing this podcast? I think we just need to target. Okay. Okay. Here it is. Let's maybe we'll bring it in. It's like, okay, it's graduation. The kids might go off to, like, spring break or like senior week. Or at least it's the summer time, right? Yeah. We make a graduation Hawaiian shirt. Maybe it's a t shirt with white pattern. You know, grad class of 2025. **Thomas** (00:19:37:10 - 00:19:37:15): Yeah. **Chip** (00:19:37:15 - 00:19:51:00): And we just we push that on students and parents, like, this is what all the kids are having. And you give a couple free out, maybe you get them hooked, and then they have to. Yeah, I think I think that's what it is. You know, I think you take. **Thomas** (00:19:51:00 - 00:20:06:23): It, you got to take it one step further. What I think you do is it's a beautiful pattern. But like in that, like there'll be a flower and in the center where you would see the, the pollen, the, you know, the colorful part of the flower. Yeah. It's the grads face. **Chip** (00:20:07:01 - 00:20:08:20): There it is. You know, it's customized. **Thomas** (00:20:08:20 - 00:20:31:21): And now the the grad doesn't need this. There's only one graduate per family, usually. Yeah, but the whole family needs it. So now you've sold four, and then you make one for the dog. The grad feels celebrated. The parents now know there is a new bar they have to clear to do the bare minimum of parenting. Yeah, and it involves buying everybody a shirt with this. Guys, this is a business model that's out there that that's happening right now. People of people have figured out the parent child dollar separation potential. **Chip** (00:20:42:16 - 00:20:47:01): Yeah. Yeah. Take a high class ring. It's now Hawaiian shirts. **Thomas** (00:20:47:01 - 00:21:08:03): Class rings I never got either like that was it was going on. I had a friend in college that had just a gigantic like we were 18 years old and he's got like a gigantic mob style, like, ring from from his high school. Yeah. It's just like interest. Ding. Interesting to still want to be associated with that in this way at this point in time. **Chip** (00:21:08:05 - 00:21:31:12): Man. If there's anything I'm proud of in this life, it's not being in my high school class, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, I get hey, sure, I guess, but it's like, I don't need I don't need jewelry to to to remember that I, I all I need is a nice night's sleep and just waking up at two in the morning, and I start to remember something that happened in high school, something embarrassing, something awful that happened in high school. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:21:31:23 - 00:21:44:00): Yeah. That that's that's good. Yeah. The guy, the gaudy bejeweled jewelry for mad reminder that they went to high school in the third place. That's pretty. It's pretty fun. **Chip** (00:21:44:02 - 00:21:46:10): Yeah. I it is it is it Thomas. **Thomas** (00:21:46:12 - 00:21:55:05): Is it it it likes to I think for me I think it would be silly, but I like, I like the guy who's into that too. I think that's a fun guy. **Chip** (00:21:55:07 - 00:21:59:09): I think there's something that, like, should come along with it, like it's a decoder ring or something like that. **Thomas** (00:21:59:09 - 00:22:07:22): Where it's just. Yeah. Oh, I assume I assume everybody with the class of ring is trying to find some kind of national treasure that they've got an inside scoop on, you know, or. **Chip** (00:22:07:22 - 00:22:14:03): Just a QR code for some counts for free counseling, maybe that. **Thomas** (00:22:14:05 - 00:22:19:22): Yeah. I mean, but they're they're bejeweled. They're not afraid to spend. They don't need three. Just some good counseling. **Chip** (00:22:20:00 - 00:22:24:15): They, they just need a good counseling and a nice Hawaiian shirt from from Sunburnt Industries. **Thomas** (00:22:24:21 - 00:22:32:10): Oh, man. Yeah, yeah. We need to work on the industries part. What's the industries? The sunburn. I like it, I like where your head's at. Yep. **Chip** (00:22:32:12 - 00:22:46:15): Yeah, I think that's. I think that's where we're going. I, it's, you know, but it is my favorite time of the year because it's like summertime. It's like summertime. Like it's just like summer break, like I was. And I was a teacher for 15 years, so like, I had. **Thomas** (00:22:46:19 - 00:22:52:03): Oh, that's why it's so hard coded into you. I was like, how does he even know that school is out? **Chip** (00:22:52:05 - 00:23:12:22): Yeah. Well, I mean it's like is but the the loud children are around my neighborhood again. So, so, you know, but the but it's, it's also like I had 13 years of schooling, you know, kindergarten through 12th grade and then four more said 17 years with, with college with summer breaks and then and other. So, so what did I say? 13% 17 plus another 15 where I was teaching. So it's 32 years of my life where I worked in the summer break. **Thomas** (00:23:21:08 - 00:23:21:21): Yeah. **Chip** (00:23:21:21 - 00:23:34:01): Cycle. So it's like I, I still get like it took it was only the last year or two where it was like, oh, I can be in September without just shuddering, just shivers up my spine like, **Thomas** (00:23:34:03 - 00:23:34:13): Labor. **Chip** (00:23:34:13 - 00:23:49:05): Day and just getting it a pit. My stomach. Yeah. But it's it's so I still do love the summertime, even though it's just becoming a, a hellscape of just humidity, but, I do. Do you ever go to do you go to summer camp when your kid. Was that a thing I did? **Thomas** (00:23:49:09 - 00:23:53:23): I did not like more sports camps or day camps when I was real little. **Chip** (00:23:54:04 - 00:23:55:12): You're a sports camp guy. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:23:55:13 - 00:23:56:01): I could see. **Chip** (00:23:56:01 - 00:23:59:21): You doing, like, a like a wrestling camp or like a, like a basketball. **Thomas** (00:23:59:23 - 00:24:05:09): Basketball, maybe basketball camp and then football. You didn't need a camp because they made you play all summer. **Chip** (00:24:05:10 - 00:24:06:11): All summer. **Thomas** (00:24:06:11 - 00:24:10:06): Long. Yeah. You get you'd get real in there if you're playing football. **Chip** (00:24:10:08 - 00:24:27:02): Yeah. I went to summer camp once. One time I was in second grade. I was, you know, I was a nervous little kid. Got a little homesick, didn't like it was. It wasn't my favorite thing. It rained most of the time, like. And you're just like. So just like, you're just up in the Pennsylvania woods in the mountains. And it was cool looking back. It was like, whatever. But I was just like, I just want to get out of here. And I didn't love it, but I, you you get these again. Speaking of like the class ring or the memorabilia. **Thomas** (00:24:41:10 - 00:24:42:02): **Chip** (00:24:42:04 - 00:24:57:20): They took camp photos. So they took photos of like our whole like it was like a couple cabins, a couple of boys and girls cabins together where they took like all the second graders or whatever, you know. So it was the last class photo where my parents had to pay, like probably back in the 80s, ten bucks for it or something like that. And of course they bought it. And I still remember I still remember kind of being embarrassed because I was like kind of homesick and I just wanted to leave, but like, so I was embarrassed by that. And then we didn't know that they were doing these, these photos. So we were down at the lake swimming. Okay. **Thomas** (00:25:15:05 - 00:25:15:17): **Chip** (00:25:15:19 - 00:25:21:04): So you're swimming using the buddy system. You know, I mean, I try to use the buddy system no matter what I do. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:25:21:04 - 00:25:23:10): Yeah, it's a it's like your golden rule. **Chip** (00:25:23:12 - 00:25:26:22): It really is. Swimming, podcasting, pickleball. **Thomas** (00:25:27:00 - 00:25:28:04): Whatever it is. **Chip** (00:25:28:06 - 00:25:51:00): And they were like, oh, hey. Okay. So that's so like, our counselor gets us from the swimming session. We're literally, like, in the lake. There's a little kind of like, beachy area. And he's like, all right, boys, we need to run up real quickly. Get changed. The photographer's here for our cabin photo. You need to go get change as quickly as you can. And you to be out there. You have, like, five minutes, tops, and I'm. I'm seven. I'm not a fast changer, you know? And you're not. **Thomas** (00:25:58:15 - 00:25:59:09): Cher. **Chip** (00:25:59:11 - 00:26:02:20): No. Cher knows those. She she can. **Thomas** (00:26:02:22 - 00:26:04:00): She can do a quick change. **Chip** (00:26:04:00 - 00:26:05:17): She can turn back. Time is what I was. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:26:05:19 - 00:26:07:09): Sure. **Chip** (00:26:07:11 - 00:26:27:02): And, so, like, we're, like, running. I'm like, just like, kind of holding my shirt, but, like, just running in my swim trunks up to the cabin, and we go in and, like, some of the boys are, like, going faster than me. So I was like, I can't be late for this. And we all put jeans on. So I was like, all right, jeans? Yeah. But like, they're like, I was running late though, so I just pulled my jeans on over top of my swim trunks because it was like, I, I got to go quickly. **Thomas** (00:26:39:14 - 00:26:41:17): Yeah. And I'm guessing these aren't dry chub. **Chip** (00:26:41:23 - 00:27:08:20): These are not dry swim trunks. So it's just wet swim trunks underneath these these dungarees, these jeans, these Levi's or whatever they were, you know, and just it just, you know, it just wet my entire little bathing suit area. Yeah. Wet jeans for the photo. And so then my parents bought the photo. It's not like it's not like it's digital. We're like, hey, you like this photo? It's like, no, let me change in my wet jeans as a seven year old. And so we got that and then got it home. And then I remember my older cousin, he was like ten years older than I was, came over. And we're just like always, you know, busting each other's balls. **Thomas** (00:27:21:18 - 00:27:25:13): And he's like, you wet, you piss your pants, I'm going to piss my pants. I. **Chip** (00:27:25:15 - 00:27:41:12): I was wearing a bathing suit underneath. And, and so I took the picture. I just, like, ripped it up into a thousand pieces and, like, put it in the trash can without my parents, seeing it. So they they paid for something that was just an embarrassment. And and and now there's no longer evidence of it. **Thomas** (00:27:41:14 - 00:27:56:20): And until they watch this podcast, because, like my parents, I'm sure your parents watch every piece of content you do. And I think they finally know why everybody called you Piss Chantry when they picked you up from summer camp. **Chip** (00:27:57:02 - 00:27:59:16): Exactly. Yeah, the big P. **Thomas** (00:27:59:18 - 00:28:16:15): I had a I had a solid, Peter Pan. It wasn't summer camp. It was camping with the fam. I was like, I want to say I had have been for probably maybe five, but, we were at a campsite. **Chip** (00:28:16:15 - 00:28:18:16): Where you guys like a camping family or something. You guys did. **Thomas** (00:28:18:17 - 00:28:31:04): It. It was what we did. We didn't do, like, vacations. We would do, like, we'll just get out to the the woods for a three day weekend. We had, like, a little, Volkswagen bus with, like, a pop top. **Chip** (00:28:31:06 - 00:28:31:21): Beautiful. **Thomas** (00:28:32:01 - 00:28:52:09): Yeah. We were, we were set up. We were good to go. I was very embarrassed to be seen in it, but we had it. This actually predates the bus days. So this was a young family still living in, Santa Barbara, and we went camping, and I, when my parents were busy, just just got out into the woods. Dude, just made a break for it. **Chip** (00:28:54:10 - 00:28:55:02): Went for. **Thomas** (00:28:55:02 - 00:29:08:16): It. Got out of. I am like, you know, I wish it was a campsite. It was a campground. I kind of knew my way around, but, boy, did I just take a whiz in my jeans. **Chip** (00:29:08:18 - 00:29:14:20): And literally surrounded by woods. The only place where you could just pee wherever you. **Thomas** (00:29:14:22 - 00:29:36:14): Yep. Yeah, I didn't, I didn't know, so, like, I think I was actually looking for a bathroom, but I was like, I knew I had left. I, I knew I was doing something I shouldn't be there. And I didn't want any adults to see me. And there was adults over there. So what I did was I pissed my pants very close to to the public restroom at the campground. And then I had my pants were full of pears, so I didn't want anybody to see me. And so I hid further and further. I just kept hiding and hiding every time an adult got near me, that wasn't my parents. I went further and further. So now my parents are freaking out. Yeah, not only like did that, did they have no idea where I am? But I am embarrassed that I had wet myself. So I am hiding even more strongly than I usually would be. I'm just trying to evade and I. I remember it being like a whole day I was out there. It was probably 20 minutes, of course, but like, by the time my parents, my mom finally found me, she's like, what do you do with what happened? Like what was going on? And, and I had just, like, clearly peed myself that, I had to explain that I got embarrassed. So instead of come back to the I couldn't I couldn't find my way back to the campsite without anybody seeing me. Yeah. So it went further and further. And then when my parents finally it was my mom, I could see her. I instead of yelling, hey, mom, I'm over here. I made bird noises for like ten minutes. I was just like, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet tweet, tweet, tweet it. Just hoping she'd be like, that's that's how that's how a little tight t bone makes bird noises. That's that's my little Tommy Bonds over there. **Chip** (00:30:52:07 - 00:30:55:03): Did she recognize that? It was that it was you? Did you hear you. **Thomas** (00:30:55:05 - 00:30:58:22): No, no, no, I think eventually, like, I was just like, mom, I'm over here. **Chip** (00:30:59:00 - 00:31:01:19): Mom! Tweet. Mom! Yeah, mom. Tweet. **Thomas** (00:31:01:23 - 00:31:06:02): Quack, quack. Yeah. Krakow. **Chip** (00:31:06:04 - 00:31:11:17): And then. So then you just, I. I'm assuming there was a change of clothes, but, like, you're out in the woods. **Thomas** (00:31:11:19 - 00:31:21:06): There was a change of clothes. And actually, like, I never thought about before. And that's when my mom said. You've been such a bad boy. I'm never gonna make a fluffernutter for you. **Chip** (00:31:21:08 - 00:31:25:06): So that's. That's why you didn't have that opportunity. That's why you didn't. **Thomas** (00:31:25:06 - 00:31:34:01): Have it, wasn't it? It wasn't in this coast. West coast thing. This wasn't taking in two pack. This was, little Tommy boy. What? Number one. And his, dungarees. **Chip** (00:31:34:02 - 00:31:37:07): Is what I like to call a little O'Brien discipline. **Thomas** (00:31:37:09 - 00:31:43:15): Yeah, it's it's very. It's, it's mainly based on withholding. **Chip** (00:31:43:17 - 00:31:45:11): Right? Yeah. No, that's that's what it is. **Thomas** (00:31:45:16 - 00:31:47:18): That's. I guess that's all discipline. **Chip** (00:31:47:19 - 00:31:59:21): Sure. Just denial. It's. Yeah, it's it's. Yeah, it's called, It's negative reinforcement. It's what? Negative. Yeah. Negative reinforcement I guess. Yeah. That's see, learn. You learn. Don't go off in the woods and pee yourself. You know, that's. **Thomas** (00:31:59:23 - 00:32:00:05): It's. **Chip** (00:32:00:05 - 00:32:04:18): True. Do one or the other like. Yeah. Pick a lane Thomas. Pick a lane. **Thomas** (00:32:04:20 - 00:32:09:19): Yeah. And don't put dry clothes on over wet clothes I think there's. **Chip** (00:32:09:20 - 00:32:22:14): There's you guys are learning stuff today. The listeners, the viewers are learning. And I think that's that's what we bring. We bring we bring comedy, we bring tropical vibes and we bring life saving information. **Thomas** (00:32:22:16 - 00:32:30:05): Yeah, yeah. For all the five and seven year olds out there listening, we really pay is a path to, liquid success. **Chip** (00:32:30:05 - 00:32:48:00): By the way, this episode you talked about being a 4 or 5 year old peeing yourself in the woods. And then last episode, you talked about being an adult staring at a friend of yours while you were, inebriated, peeing in the woods. So. Yeah. Yeah. So a lot of a lot of moments coming full circle for you, Tommy. **Thomas** (00:32:48:02 - 00:32:55:22): Yeah, it's it's it's, apparently it's a through line. And what I've been thinking about lately. **Chip** (00:32:56:00 - 00:33:15:21): That's it's all right. That's right. But by the way, Okay. One other, one other embarrassing story that turned amazing. This this one. I actually has a hat. I don't say happy, and it has a has a rough ending, but happy for me or funny for me. We were down in Wildwood, new Jersey, which is the, the Jersey shore. Yeah. It's rough, you know, it's it's whatever. And we were down there one summer for a couple days with, it was it was like one of my favorite because I was probably like 6 or 6 or so. 6 or 7. And our our neighbors went with us like this family down the street who's like theta son and a daughter. They were a little bit older than my brother and I. And like, I was like really close friends with the with the son. And like, their parents were close to my parents. It was like a double family trip. It was like the best. And we were out on the beach, you know, did our thing, had a house that's down there for a couple of days. It's the best. And then we have the boardwalk. So there's like, you know, it's basically like a carnival at the boardwalk. And there was this haunted house that we really wanted to go in that I think years later, actually burnt to the ground, I believe. And, but it was this big haunted house is like scary was like this, like Castle. And it had, like, Dracula, I think in, like, Frankenstein and like the Wolf Man or something like that. Their heads on the front, it was a gigantic was very scary. And it's like these live actors were in there and it was like, this is not like fun little like, oh, haunted house, like, ooh, something, you know, the ghost pops out. It's like, these are like teenagers from new Jersey high schools who are dressed like wolf people like coming out and attacking like this is this is no holds barred. So we thought, is this fun little thing again? I was six, my brother was probably like three. The other kid was probably like 8 or 9 and his sister was like ten. And so the two dads one night decided they're going to take the four kids through the haunted house. **Thomas** (00:34:51:06 - 00:34:52:04): Oh, I love this. **Chip** (00:34:52:04 - 00:35:04:06): Let's let the monkeys, the moms are they're taking care of everything. But the dads, they're like, let's or we're going to do this. And I still just remember there was just like that. We had like a tour guide. I think it was I think it was like a woman who you walk you through and then like whatever was happening. And I still just remember, like this, she brings us up to this casket and like, Dracula pops out of the casket like a real Dracula, like, no, this is not animatronic. This is a this is a man. **Thomas** (00:35:16:10 - 00:35:18:12): A man who wants to suck your blood. **Chip** (00:35:18:16 - 00:35:40:03): Blood. And, the girl, the 12 year, 11 or 12 year old screamed, my brother! My little brother jumped into the other dad's like hands. Like, just got so scared. I'm just like, totally like, no flight, no fight. Just literally just stand there. Luckily, I didn't wet my pants, but I'm just, like, frozen is so scared. And. But the girl screams and her retainer pops out of her mouth. So now we're all scared. Plus, we have to find a retainer on the dirty, dark floor of a Wildwood, new Jersey haunted house. So. And people are just screaming and running around and they're just like, look for the retainer. And like, we the I think we found the retainer. And then finally we get to another room. There's literally like a fire exit, which, is is pretty ironic after most of these haunted house things go and the dads were like, that's it. We made it through, like maybe 30% of this thing is like, we're good. And we just went out the emergency and like, even, like our tour guide or whatever. Like the lady, she's like, yeah, just get it, get out of it. You need to leave right now. And, we left. So we were so traumatized, was so scared again. I was like six and but then, you know, like, trauma just turns into, like, you have to face your fear to get back to it. So, yeah, get back home that, you know, a couple days later, we're back in the neighborhood and we. So then in our heads, we have to be tough about it. We're like, oh, we went through this haunted house and was awesome. Too scary. And we like, you know, we're tough because I'm six and he's nine and my brother whatever. So we decide that we're going to make our own haunted house and in our backyard, it was in in our family's backyard. But like those two kids and me and my brother, and there was like 1 or 2 other kids in the neighborhood and even the parents, to their credit, the parents helped out. And like, we set up like a thing. We were going to walk other neighborhood kids through the backyard at night, and there was going to be things where, like, somebody pops out of a bush, somebody jumps out from the jungle jam or whatever we had, like we had costumes. We had. We're like, we're going to do this up, right? This is. **Thomas** (00:37:19:11 - 00:37:20:15): Like not a show. **Chip** (00:37:20:17 - 00:37:34:23): Such a fun neighborhood thing. We like really did it up. We worked for days on it. And so the night comes and we got a bunch of the other neighborhood kids lined up, right? Because we had to walk through like two at a time. They had to wait at the front of the house, and we walked them through the backyard. And like John and the other dad, it is still a bit of a big guy. I just remember he's a little bit bigger. He moves in the skin, he's gonna throw up in another crazy with this big beard. And he wore in the summertime like boots. Like Timberland. **Thomas** (00:37:51:21 - 00:37:53:17): Boots. Yep. **Chip** (00:37:53:19 - 00:37:55:21): A white tank top. Like wife beater. **Thomas** (00:37:56:00 - 00:37:56:17): Hell, yeah. **Chip** (00:37:56:23 - 00:38:00:17): And short, short cut off jeans. **Thomas** (00:38:00:23 - 00:38:01:15): Nice. **Chip** (00:38:01:17 - 00:38:21:11): Because this look, this is the 80s. This is a manly look in the 1980s. Like cut off jeans. Short like short jean shorts. The the thing probably had a beer in it and like, that's like the type of situation maybe a cig in the other. Yeah. And he was the first stop of the haunted house tour. Right. And he, he climbed up. He, like, shimmied up this tree trunk and he's like, I'm going to I'll wait like the first V like the first, you know, branch and you bring them under the tree and tell them that, like, oh, this tree's haunted. It talks, you know, maybe like Wizard of Oz type thing. And then he's he's going to jump out of the tree, and scare everybody, right? Yeah. First big scare. Right. So we're so excited. We bring these kids. **Thomas** (00:38:46:18 - 00:38:49:00): Through. **Chip** (00:38:49:02 - 00:39:19:18): And we're just like. And though. And this tree is scary. He jumps again I don't know, he probably had a maybe a handful of beers. I don't I'm not sure. He jumps but like slips and just it I just remember the bark was just it was very rough bark and he just slides down instead of jumping like eight feet down, he just slides down the trunk of the tree and just rips up slices to piece. Just mangles the back of his thighs. **Thomas** (00:39:22:18 - 00:39:27:03): Oh no. It just drops to the ground. **Chip** (00:39:27:05 - 00:39:33:18): Like a ton of bricks and just starts screaming. **Thomas** (00:39:33:20 - 00:39:39:05): And all the kids are like, they're like, is this part of it? We're like, we don't think so. **Chip** (00:39:39:06 - 00:39:43:00): And he's just writhing in pain. And then my dad's like, all right. **Thomas** (00:39:43:02 - 00:39:46:13): Hon, us is over. And he and we said. **Chip** (00:39:46:13 - 00:39:59:16): All the other kids, and this guy is just and for like the rest of the summer, he was just tending to his just shredded back of his thighs that he and he just limped around this summer. **Thomas** (00:39:59:16 - 00:40:11:16): There are some things scarier than goblins and ghouls, and it's heading into short shorts season and 1989. Yeah, with just more splinters than you can shake a stick at. Yep. **Chip** (00:40:11:21 - 00:40:16:12): And did those sticks get shaken? **Thomas** (00:40:16:14 - 00:40:34:15): I don't know, can you imagine, like where. I mean, we're probably roughly that guy's age now. Yeah. At this point in your life, having a couple too many cocktails, peacocking, saying I'm going to save the haunted house, I'm going to do this. A big gesture, and, hurting yourself. **Chip** (00:40:34:16 - 00:40:35:02): Just. **Thomas** (00:40:35:02 - 00:40:44:07): So silly in front of so many people, that is. Yeah. Dude, it sounds like that guy needs a vacation, chip. **Chip** (00:40:44:07 - 00:40:56:08): Big time vacation. Big time. Okay. Yeah. And the worst part is, he just came back from vacation because it was literally, like, three days after we got back from the first haunted house experience at the new Jersey boardwalk. **Thomas** (00:40:56:08 - 00:41:02:16): That is so funny. Yeah. But no retainers were lost on the second installment. **Chip** (00:41:02:18 - 00:41:07:14): No, just just the lawyers retainer. That's all it was. **Thomas** (00:41:07:16 - 00:41:07:22): Yeah. **Chip** (00:41:08:04 - 00:41:17:17): All right. How do you sue for that? I mean, that would be a great like. Is this my parent's property? Like, what if he just decided, like, look, I was doing a good thing. I was being a good Samaritan. **Thomas** (00:41:17:17 - 00:41:18:03): Yeah, I. **Chip** (00:41:18:03 - 00:41:36:00): Was, I was helping out the children, making a haunted house. And yes, I was wearing short shorts, and I jumped out and my Timberlands slipped and I scrape the back of my thighs. Here are photos of it. Here is exhibits A through F. Please look at the back of my manly thighs that are all ripped to shreds. **Thomas** (00:41:36:02 - 00:41:38:00): That, that's tough stuff. **Chip** (00:41:38:02 - 00:41:56:03): Yeah. It's amazing. And by the way, I am I'm putting that voice, and he was a great guy, and, was, you know, like, I think felt bad, but, like, was being very helpful and just had a little he had a little whoopsie and, any and he crashed to the ground and, it was a, it was a good time. It was a that's. **Thomas** (00:41:57:04 - 00:41:58:03): That's fun. **Chip** (00:41:58:03 - 00:42:00:01): Fun summertime vibes. **Thomas** (00:42:00:03 - 00:42:03:18): Dude, I, you just reminded me I have a quick summertime hit. **Chip** (00:42:03:23 - 00:42:04:11): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:42:04:17 - 00:42:10:13): And it I mean, we can put this in Thomas O'Brien's unexplained files. **Chip** (00:42:10:15 - 00:42:13:07): I love it I love it. New segment. **Thomas** (00:42:13:09 - 00:42:22:00): Yep. It was 4th of July weekend. I was either you know between 14 and 16 okay I don't remember. **Chip** (00:42:22:00 - 00:42:23:19): So let's say 15. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:42:23:19 - 00:42:36:09): Go ahead. Let's say 15. Let's. Yeah. Law of averages. Let's split it right down the middle. Right. My family goes camping at Port Orford every year for a couple of years. It's like this very, Oregon coastal place. **Chip** (00:42:36:13 - 00:42:37:08): Okay. **Thomas** (00:42:37:10 - 00:42:46:04): It's got like this small little town, and they do it up for the 4th of July. The whole town has a parade. Then there's this little melodrama at this little theater. **Chip** (00:42:46:06 - 00:42:53:22): And I feel like there's like a restaurant on the coast that's closed down now. But then there's a tunnel that goes underneath it. **Thomas** (00:42:54:00 - 00:43:05:16): Not far away from where? Something like that. Where it happened. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Not not far away from where something like that would have happened. Okay, good. But, Yeah, we're just out there camping at this beautiful campground, and it's up on these cliffs, right? **Chip** (00:43:05:18 - 00:43:06:03): Beautiful. **Thomas** (00:43:06:03 - 00:43:30:06): And it's one of the windiest places in North America, I think, but up on these cliffs, you can look down at the water if you get over there and, like, you know, it's just this gorgeous campground. My parents are sleeping in the Volkswagen bus. We talked about. Of course, me and my little brother have set up a tent in the tent area, and, it's it's the night time, but everybody's fast asleep. I wake up in the middle of the night. **Chip** (00:43:32:08 - 00:43:37:00): And by the way, it's just like a are there like other families around, or is it just you guys? **Thomas** (00:43:37:02 - 00:43:53:17): I would say there's probably other families around, but, like, not close enough where I can hear or see any of them at the moment. It's the middle of the night and there is some light coming through. I don't know if it's from moonlight or whatever, but the outside of the tent illuminated a little bit. And I joke you not, Chip. I see a hand. The shadow of a hand show up on the wall of my tent right by the door. And it does this? No. Yep. **Chip** (00:44:07:14 - 00:44:19:18): Oh, my God, that's the scary. He just for those listeners, he's just he has that. He he turns the hand around. It just starts beckoning you with the with your index finger. With the index finger that. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:44:19:20 - 00:44:36:12): So I freak out, literally jump underneath my, sleeping bag. Go back to sleep. A bad dream, right? Like I just woke up. I was in the tent. It was. And it wasn't like, this is a different tent. Like when you have a dream where it's like, I knew it was my house, but it's not my house, right? This was the exact tent. My little brother was sleeping next to me in his sleeping bag. But I shook it off and went to sleep. Really easy. Yeah. The next morning I wake up. My mother is kind of cooking breakfast in the camper. My dad's chopping some wood. She hands me some oatmeal. I'm eating it in the, you know, in the camper with my mom. Yep. And my dad yells, Rob, come here. My name is Robin. Rob. Come here. **Chip** (00:45:03:02 - 00:45:06:08): Yeah, he had he. **Thomas** (00:45:06:09 - 00:45:10:15): The way he explained it, he got dizzy while he was chopping wood. **Chip** (00:45:10:17 - 00:45:11:08): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:45:11:10 - 00:45:21:11): And to the bone and maybe a little bit through chopped off this finger. No, it was like just hanging there. **Chip** (00:45:21:13 - 00:45:22:01): Oh my. **Thomas** (00:45:22:01 - 00:45:31:04): God. So that's one for the Thomas O'Brien's unexplained Files show. **Chip** (00:45:31:04 - 00:45:34:16): You have no idea whose hand that was. **Thomas** (00:45:34:18 - 00:45:43:07): I don't think it I mean, I I've no idea like the way it worked. I mean, I probably a dream. Yeah. But it was just so weird because for shivery. **Chip** (00:45:43:08 - 00:45:49:03): Thing that your dad. Oh, that's that is creepy. So, wait, did you guys have to leave then? Okay. And then he did go to the hospital. **Thomas** (00:45:49:03 - 00:46:06:01): Yeah. Yeah, yeah, he needed to get some help. Dad, you need to get some help. And we did there. And that was the last year when support, like I was too weirded out by the whole thing. And, like, you know, as a younger kid, I was doing all the math. I'm like, if if it was a person and they were far away, a shadow of a hand would be huge, right? Like just the way it works. So this, this hand would have had to been close. It was close. There would have been an arm attached to it. But now it's just this. **Chip** (00:46:12:16 - 00:46:20:15): Just the hand. He's just. You could have warned your father that he was going to chop his finger off, but, hey, I. **Thomas** (00:46:20:15 - 00:46:25:13): Didn't even think about it. I thought it was somebody saying, like, you know, get out of here. And you. **Chip** (00:46:25:19 - 00:46:28:00): Yeah. I'm going to. I'm going to box your ears. **Thomas** (00:46:28:05 - 00:46:34:03): Yeah. Scary, scary stuff. But maybe what it was was a warning chip and unexplained warning. **Chip** (00:46:34:08 - 00:46:39:15): Wow. From the, from the Oregon gods. Wow. That is that is creepy. **Thomas** (00:46:39:15 - 00:46:50:22): I do remember going back to church and, you know, getting strong. Strong, opinions that like it was certainly supernatural. There's something weird going on. **Chip** (00:46:50:22 - 00:46:55:14): There was there was there was there a hole in the hand? That's what I mean. No, in the shatter. **Thomas** (00:46:55:14 - 00:47:17:04): No, there was no stigmata. So it wasn't that, All right. I do remember somebody very, very opinionated. A woman that work there being like, you know, and this is like, this is where it, like, comes to it. There's like spirituality and there's the Bible and all the other stuff. This definitely veered away from the Bible and the spirituality. But like she told me at the church that, oh, it's known that windy areas are highly spiritual. **Chip** (00:47:27:13 - 00:47:28:17): Yeah. Of course. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:47:28:17 - 00:47:31:15): I was like, yeah, well you can't, it's. Yeah. **Chip** (00:47:31:16 - 00:47:33:07): Go hang. You know. **Thomas** (00:47:33:09 - 00:47:42:21): The guy playing out the wind chip. It's not, it's not that wind has some attributes. You could have subscribe to Ghost Day. You could make that ghosts hang out in the wind. **Chip** (00:47:42:23 - 00:47:45:07): They just love a good, cool breeze. **Thomas** (00:47:45:07 - 00:47:49:00): That's a nice boy. Ooh, a cool breeze. **Chip** (00:47:49:03 - 00:47:52:17): Yeah. Just. Yeah, a zombie likes a nice gust. **Thomas** (00:47:52:17 - 00:47:56:00): Or to, Yeah. **Chip** (00:47:56:00 - 00:47:56:19): So that's creepy. **Thomas** (00:47:56:19 - 00:48:09:13): That, that. Oh, it was, it was very clear. It's just a coincidence of it all. Dude, it was just so bizarre. And, like, my dad, just, like, chopping wood and got dizzy and then hit that finger. **Chip** (00:48:09:15 - 00:48:11:07): That's right. That is weird. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:48:11:12 - 00:48:13:19): Oh, my God, very bizarre. **Chip** (00:48:13:21 - 00:48:17:08): Now, did your brother see this at all or. He was just fast asleep? **Thomas** (00:48:17:10 - 00:48:21:13): No, but likely because it probably didn't happen. It didn't happen in my dream. **Chip** (00:48:21:13 - 00:48:23:07): Of course. Yeah, yeah. **Thomas** (00:48:23:09 - 00:48:29:12): But, yeah, it it was like one of those things. Like it stick with you, but it was so specific. It was just that finger. Yeah. **Chip** (00:48:29:13 - 00:48:31:11): Indexing the pointy. The pointy, buddy. **Thomas** (00:48:31:14 - 00:48:34:16): The pointy. And that's a tough chop. I mean. **Chip** (00:48:34:18 - 00:48:35:19): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:48:35:20 - 00:48:36:16): Yeah, I don't know. **Chip** (00:48:36:20 - 00:48:47:01): Yeah. You're just like, man, it's just like, yeah, if I'm if I'm on a cliff in Oregon and the Blair Witch shows up, I am, I'm not going out to say hi. Not happening. **Thomas** (00:48:47:03 - 00:48:51:22): But, did you ever watch Eastbound on Dad? **Chip** (00:48:52:00 - 00:48:53:20): What are you talking about? You. Of course. **Thomas** (00:48:53:21 - 00:49:20:02): My my my wife and I are watching it. She's never seen it before. And they're they're in Mexico, and he's looking for Eduardo Sanchez. And like, his sidekick Guy Steve. Yeah. Steve and Steve just told him. He's like, I think I found him, and he is in Hollywood. He directed the Blair Witch Project. And Ken, he's just like, yeah, I don't think he directed the Blair Witch Project. Steve. He got the wrong guy. That's what. **Chip** (00:49:26:08 - 00:49:28:13): The story was hiding out. Just do it. **Thomas** (00:49:28:15 - 00:49:37:19): Just not do it. And lay low directing some indie films. Yeah. Stand under the radar. **Chip** (00:49:37:21 - 00:49:51:03): By way, Thomas, I, I don't know if you were looking at the same moon I was last night. Speaking of summer. Summertime. The summertime moon was out. I was walking the dog. And we also have some Canadian wildfires coming down the, you know, some smoke. **Thomas** (00:49:51:03 - 00:49:52:21): Oh, yeah, I've heard about that. That's hitting you. **Chip** (00:49:52:21 - 00:49:57:10): Yeah. So yeah. So it's like it hits the back of the throat, the eyes. Sometimes it's not, it's not terrible. **Thomas** (00:49:57:10 - 00:49:59:00): It's not a gentlemen. **Chip** (00:49:59:02 - 00:50:14:12): It it's not, it's not a gentleman. No it is not. And it's not somebody, you know, beckoning me with their index finger. It is legit smoke. It's not as bad as was a couple years ago. It was like. I mean, it was just smoky. I obviously you deal with that in LA, but like, it was like smoky in Philadelphia. But, this is just like you get a haze sometimes and like at night, you know, like, the moon looks hazy, but, I noticed it was like huge, big full moon last night. And then I looked it up. It was. We had the strawberry moon last night, buddy. **Thomas** (00:50:27:16 - 00:50:31:10): Oh. This. I'm unfamiliar with the Strawberry moon. What's that? **Chip** (00:50:31:12 - 00:50:40:06): It's so, like, I guess every month, if I understand correctly, like, every month has, like, a, you know, like the special the blue moon or the harvest moon or whatever. I think Blue moon is different, but the harvest. **Thomas** (00:50:40:06 - 00:50:42:13): Moon, I've heard. Yeah, blue moon I've heard, yeah. **Chip** (00:50:42:13 - 00:50:51:12): And so it's just like, I think a pig moon is something. I feel like a pig. I feel like that's a something I don't know, but like. And I think some of it comes from, like, native. **Thomas** (00:50:51:14 - 00:50:55:19): I mean, that might have been something that happened during your frat days, though I. **Chip** (00:50:55:20 - 00:50:57:13): You'll you'll pig moon happen. **Thomas** (00:50:57:18 - 00:50:58:17): Yeah. **Chip** (00:50:58:19 - 00:51:12:01): But, it's I think it's just the the full moon in June. They call it the strawberry moon. I think just because it's like, that's when strawberries are in season or whatever. And I think it was the Native Americans did that, but I gotcha. So it's but I was like, oh, the strawberry Moon. It's not pink or anything like that. You would think maybe you could, but it's it's still just regular color. But it was but apparently was like the the brightest strawberry moon we're going to see for like decades because it was like up and so low on the horizon for a while because, you know, when the moon's low on the horizon, it's just you're. **Thomas** (00:51:26:20 - 00:51:27:14): Huge, right? **Chip** (00:51:27:20 - 00:51:32:21): Just like a, like a hand on the side of a tent. It looks gigantic. **Thomas** (00:51:33:02 - 00:51:34:21): Maybe it was a strawberry moon. **Chip** (00:51:34:23 - 00:51:35:15): I think. And maybe. **Thomas** (00:51:35:15 - 00:51:36:17): Maybe that's what I was dealing. **Chip** (00:51:36:17 - 00:51:45:04): With. Maybe you were looking at the Strawberry Moon baby. Yeah, maybe it was just a man mooning you. Yeah. But, like, there's, like, other names, right? **Thomas** (00:51:45:06 - 00:51:49:21): The Strawberry Moons just went a redhead. Moons. You, **Chip** (00:51:49:23 - 00:51:54:18): Man, it's just there's just getting spanked when you're little. It's like dad gave me the old strawberry moon. **Thomas** (00:51:54:23 - 00:51:57:23): Oh, yeah? Yeah, yeah, I don't do it. **Chip** (00:51:58:01 - 00:52:04:18): You better watch out, Thomas. If you don't come out of those woods with those pants, somebody's getting a salad. He's got a strawberry moon. **Thomas** (00:52:04:20 - 00:52:15:02): But I do like the idea that the dad is knowing that the spankings he's giving him now is going to affect the mooning he's going to do later. That's funny. To me. That's a two step dad. **Chip** (00:52:15:02 - 00:52:16:14): That is a to two step process. **Thomas** (00:52:16:14 - 00:52:23:15): And if you want to show your friends your tush. Yeah, they're going to say the strawberry strawberry moon. Yeah. **Chip** (00:52:23:17 - 00:52:39:16): But there's other names for it. Like I think it's like I think honestly it's I if I'm getting this right, it's like the honeymoon, which is like because I guess, honey, I guess I don't know. That's BS and the whatever, but like, yeah, I think maybe that's where honeymoon comes from because June people get married. I think maybe, but like. **Thomas** (00:52:39:16 - 00:52:42:01): Honeymoon makes no sense otherwise. **Chip** (00:52:42:01 - 00:52:43:03): But I think, I think that I. **Thomas** (00:52:43:04 - 00:52:52:05): Never thought about that. That's nonsense. Just to put in the word honey and moon. And it's a vacation you take after you get married. That's silly. Yeah, there it is. That's the origin I like that. **Chip** (00:52:52:06 - 00:53:09:22): Maybe. Maybe is. I could be wrong, but I think that's what it is. But I think you could come up with some other, like, appropriate. Like, Strawberry Moon is fine, but for me, it's fine. Yeah. For June, I think we could come up. So I came up with some other names for the June full moon. These are related to things that happen in June to pretty much everybody. Yeah. That, that you see in June, that happens to you in June, that happens around you in nature in June, whatever it might be. Or, you know, even just in society in June. Okay. So like, it's June, so it's like the graduation moon. You call that, right? Yeah. Like, you know, it's a graduate graduating moon. Yeah, maybe. Like the summer moon or like, the solstice moon, because it's the kickoff to summer. You know, the chafing shorts, moon. We all start dealing with that this time of year, you know? Yeah. Or like, maybe like the finding dirty magazines in the woods. **Thomas** (00:53:42:13 - 00:53:49:20): Moon, you know, so, like, I like that moon. I like the moon. Helps you find the magazines, the light. **Chip** (00:53:49:22 - 00:53:50:22): It lights the way. **Thomas** (00:53:50:22 - 00:53:51:11): Enables. **Chip** (00:53:51:11 - 00:53:58:00): The little box. Yeah, that it's sort of, you know, just dug there by some 15 year olds. **Thomas** (00:53:58:02 - 00:54:01:00): Kids. Kids will never find dirty magazines in the woods again. **Chip** (00:54:01:05 - 00:54:02:13): No, no, they'd. **Thomas** (00:54:02:13 - 00:54:05:15): Have to look up from their phone, which has way more explicit, say. **Chip** (00:54:05:16 - 00:54:13:21): More dirty magazines on their phones. Like, can you imagine just being, like, driving along at night with your family? They'd be like children. Look, it's the finding dirty magazines in the woods. **Thomas** (00:54:13:21 - 00:54:17:00): Moon and and it's usually like, ooh. **Chip** (00:54:17:01 - 00:54:27:14): Or like, what if it's like the, the getting Pantsed by Keith McMurry at Zach's wacky golf in front of the girl you like. You know, like that happens to everybody. **Thomas** (00:54:27:18 - 00:54:30:00): Yeah. Relatable. **Chip** (00:54:30:02 - 00:54:31:11): Yeah. Did they like the chip? **Thomas** (00:54:31:13 - 00:54:33:15): I have to ask you, did that happen to you? **Chip** (00:54:33:17 - 00:54:53:12): I'm not going to confirm nor deny. I'm not going to confirm nor deny that somebody saw a strawberry moon that day. Yeah, it didn't happen to me, but it did happen to somebody, very close to me, which is a shame. And then finally, I think here's, like, something that happens. Everybody this summer, the dead clown floating in the aboveground pool, moon. **Thomas** (00:54:53:14 - 00:54:56:00): Oh, yeah. **Chip** (00:54:56:02 - 00:54:59:04): Look, children, it's the dead clown floating around in the aboveground pool. **Thomas** (00:54:59:04 - 00:55:01:17): Moon. **Chip** (00:55:01:19 - 00:55:06:00): Like that happens in summer, the kickoff of summer every year. **Thomas** (00:55:06:02 - 00:55:09:07): There's one every year. **Chip** (00:55:09:09 - 00:55:15:00): Yeah. So those are just some potential other names for the June full moon. **Thomas** (00:55:15:02 - 00:55:27:06): I love it. Yeah I think that's I think those are right in the pocket. But so it would be wacky golf to get pantsed in front of the girl you like. **Chip** (00:55:27:08 - 00:55:39:11): Very wacky. Very, very wacky. Because it's just everybody's there. It's a family place. And then I just saw this kid just get pantsed in, in in public, and he's like, seventh grader, you know. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:55:39:13 - 00:55:46:05): What? Yeah, that was a big that was a big move back in the day. Not and not I don't think I don't think the kids are pantsing anymore. It could be. **Chip** (00:55:46:07 - 00:55:48:15): Oh, I think it's, it rightfully so. I mean, yeah. **Thomas** (00:55:48:15 - 00:55:49:11): They probably should. **Chip** (00:55:49:13 - 00:55:53:22): One less, one less worry that a child has to have in 2025. **Thomas** (00:55:54:00 - 00:56:04:16): Yeah. I mean, their cell phones are recording every time they've ever taken off their clothes and sending it to China, but. Right. At least they're not getting pantsed in public with the face to face. **Chip** (00:56:04:18 - 00:56:08:16): Yes. When they just want to be the purple ball. **Thomas** (00:56:08:18 - 00:56:10:15): Yeah. **Chip** (00:56:10:17 - 00:56:19:15): Oh, I we got to say this. This is breaking news. Depending on when this comes out a couple days later has literally just happened right before we started the pod. We lost a good one, Tommy. **Thomas** (00:56:19:15 - 00:56:21:09): Oh, yeah. Yeah, you did tell me. **Chip** (00:56:21:12 - 00:56:47:12): Summer, summertime guy. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, the founding member of the Beach Boys. Genius. I was a huge Beach Boys fan growing up. My parents, my family would go see the Beach Boys all the time. I saw Brian Wilson, all the Beach Boys so many times. Died at 82, 82 years young. And, I, I want to say this right now, I think posthumously, I think he deserves an induction into the Burnt One's Hall of Fame. Literally the one at least one of the. You know, it's all over the internet right now, but like one of the photos that they use, you know, it's like the NBC news or whatever, it's like remembering Brian Wilson or whatever. And he's literally wearing a Hawaiian shirt in the in his picture. You know, it's it's he's he's a beach boy. He's writing songs about summertime, the beach. A couple of Beach Boys songs are on the sunburn 2025 playlist that I already that I already put on. He is he's the mainstay. I mean, the guy was so brilliant, he literally challenged. I mean, he didn't specifically challenge, but he motivated the Beatles to write Sergeant Pepper because, like, that's how good he was. And the Beatles were like, we need to be competitive with the Beach Boys. He did, he did Pet Sounds. And, so we have to be better. So like, he was just, like, neck and neck with the Beach Boys. The dude was a genius. Went through a lot of weird stuff, but, man. Like what? Just, a burnt one. If you ever just live in that beach life. Just doing it. He. I saw him many times in concert and one time this about 20 years ago, he comes out and, he was a little even 20 years ago. I mean, he's been through a lot, and he was a little slow and a little whatever. He kind of shuffles out and, he opens up with a couple of the, you know, the bare naked lady song, Brian Wilson lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did. They started with that. So he was just like, kind of like, yeah, okay, I'm not lying in bed anymore, which is kind of neat. But then at one point he, they play God Only Knows, which is like he wrote that song, maybe the greatest song of the last thousand years in the history of music. God only knows. Beautiful song. Grown men crying. Oh, Finishes God only knows. And just he's he's at his keyboard, which is like so he's got his profile to the audience and he's playing on the keyboard, the whole band. And they finish. God only knows he's crying and he just turns the honestly goes, isn't that a pretty song? **Thomas** (00:58:36:17 - 00:58:37:11): Isn't that a pretty song? **Chip** (00:58:37:12 - 00:58:46:06): Like, it's just this little ditty. It's like, yeah, Brian, we're aware that it's a pretty song. It's God Only Knows, like maybe the greatest song ever written. He goes in, had a pretty soon it was just like. **Thomas** (00:58:46:06 - 00:58:47:08): He's the greatest. **Chip** (00:58:47:10 - 00:59:11:12): It was like the greatest, most one reaction, to that, the at least the one song that's on the, the ones which I think is on the sunburnt, playlist 2025. Check that out. Is the song Pet Sounds from the out that was his masterpiece, Pet Sounds, and I think it's an underrated song that the actual track called Pet Sounds, it's an instrumental, so there's no singing in it. It's this really cool kind of beachy, I think, Hawaiian kind of vibe. **Thomas** (00:59:16:16 - 00:59:17:05): Yeah. **Chip** (00:59:17:07 - 00:59:36:17): Beautiful song. He apparently wrote it. Brian Wilson wrote that song for a James Bond movie like and didn't get asked to. I don't I don't think that's where he goes. He was just like, I this could be a theme to like, the next James Bond movies, the mid 60s James Bond movies, like very popular. And he's like, and I think he, he called it Run James Run or something like that. And gave it to the people was like, hey, do you want to use this as a theme for the next James Bond movie? And like, now we're good. So he just called it Pet Sounds and put it on the Pet Sounds, and it might be my favorite Beach Boy song. It sounds nothing like normal Beach Boy stuff. Great track check it out on the sunburn 2025 playlist on Apple Music, Spotify, wherever you get your playlist. And, it's a it's a great, great tune. **Thomas** (01:00:01:21 - 01:00:05:00): That's amazing. So you don't have to listen to it again through that lens. **Chip** (01:00:05:00 - 01:00:11:10): Yes, but I'm calling it right now. Brian Wilson burnt one Hall of Fame. **Thomas** (01:00:11:12 - 01:00:19:00): Second did second. There we go. Be complete without him. And it's, you know, it's so sad that he passed. But what a body of work he's leaving. **Chip** (01:00:19:00 - 01:00:21:01): Behind, man? Exactly. **Thomas** (01:00:21:03 - 01:00:27:00): And what? I mean, just like. Come on, the name of his band cut straight to the root of the cause. **Chip** (01:00:27:00 - 01:00:27:23): Stop it. Right. **Thomas** (01:00:27:23 - 01:00:29:23): The Beach Boys. Yeah. **Chip** (01:00:30:01 - 01:00:30:21): Yeah. **Thomas** (01:00:30:23 - 01:00:33:09): Some people might call us that chip. **Chip** (01:00:33:10 - 01:00:35:10): They may and not legally. **Thomas** (01:00:35:11 - 01:00:36:09): Not legally. **Chip** (01:00:36:09 - 01:00:40:00): I believe Mike love would be very litigious, when it comes to that. **Thomas** (01:00:40:00 - 01:00:47:14): Yeah, yeah, but we're boys. We love the beach. Yeah. And, as somebody who wanted to be known as that, I'm. I'm right there with them. **Chip** (01:00:47:14 - 01:00:54:05): I'm all for it. I'm all for it. So there you go. And, speaking of Body Works, I think we left a pretty good body of work here today, Thomas. **Thomas** (01:00:54:11 - 01:01:05:03): It was a beautiful body of work. Chip, I just I would be remiss not to mention it. You're heading out to the Nebraska, comedy festival tonight. **Chip** (01:01:05:03 - 01:01:29:01): Speaking of the beach, I'm. I'm flying out first thing tomorrow morning to, Omaha, Nebraska. Flying out to the, and then going from there two hours to Norfolk, Nebraska, which is Johnny Carson's hometown.
