Hawaiian Shirts, Johnny Carson & a $100 3-pointer in Nebraska 😂🌴

**CHIP** (00:00:00:00 - 00:00:08:16): On the plane to Omaha this weekend. And, it's a four seater. You know, so it's like two seats on either side of the aisle. **THOMAS** (00:00:08:17 - 00:00:09:15): Two and two. **CHIP** (00:00:09:17 - 00:00:20:17): Two and two, baby. And I'm on the aisle seat. And the the gal in the window seat next to me. Shade down the entire time. Yeah, she definitely. **THOMAS** (00:00:20:19 - 00:00:22:14): She won't let little Chip take a peek. **CHIP** (00:00:22:14 - 00:00:40:00): Peek? No, daddy. Want a little peep show of the clouds and the sky. The sky and the ground below. And nothing like. No, no fun in life. First of all, no conversation from her, which is a positive, which is a plus. I don't need conversation. I just need to see out the window. What was her overall vibe? She was all business. I think it was just business. **THOMAS** (00:00:43:04 - 00:00:45:01): Business in the front. Business in the back. **CHIP** (00:00:45:01 - 00:00:48:00): Right. The the double mullet. **THOMAS** (00:00:48:02 - 00:00:58:04): It's it's like the two seater. Like the side by side that is your, flight wife. You're in a very intimate relationship for a very short amount of time. **CHIP** (00:00:58:07 - 00:01:01:06): That I try to be as in intimate as possible. **THOMAS** (00:01:01:06 - 00:01:09:08): I think that relationship says a lot about your actual relationship. What's Kim not letting you see in real life that you're just like, okay, let me see it, lady. **CHIP** (00:01:09:09 - 00:01:10:13): Let me just open it up. Open up the shade. I need it now. You're my wife. Wife, not my flight wife. Yeah. So, yeah, she just wouldn't open the. And, like, it's not like I asked her to, but. Yeah. Yeah. And again, it's she has the window seat, so it's it's her prerogative. It's her jurisdiction. I don't have any claims on this, but it's like, let a guy look at everyone. So, like, don't you want to look out? Everyone you want to see? See the world? **THOMAS** (00:01:34:03 - 00:01:38:05): No, I mean, I guess every once in a while, but, like, I'm a window seat guy. **CHIP** (00:01:38:05 - 00:01:39:07): You're a shade down guy. **THOMAS** (00:01:39:08 - 00:01:42:18): I'm a shade down guy 99.9% of the time. Why? **CHIP** (00:01:42:18 - 00:01:43:16): Explain that to me. **THOMAS** (00:01:43:22 - 00:01:54:02): I've just seen it before. I've just seen it before. And I do think there is a little element of like when there's a grown man just staring out the window for hours on end, like it's beautiful. Like, I get it. **CHIP** (00:01:54:02 - 00:01:58:02): The purple mountains, Majesty. Yes, the waving with the grain. **THOMAS** (00:01:58:08 - 00:02:01:17): It's like I'm just looking at the Paramount logo over here. **CHIP** (00:02:01:19 - 00:02:08:21): That is true, by the way. That is true if you're watching a movie, which I was watching, some movies on my laptop. So, like you do when it's dark there. Yeah, I get it. **THOMAS** (00:02:08:23 - 00:02:16:17): Yeah, but I think, it's probably tied into a lot of morning flights, a lot of nighttime flights where they just, like, keep it down. People are trying to sleep. **CHIP** (00:02:16:17 - 00:02:17:14): This was midday. **THOMAS** (00:02:17:15 - 00:02:33:18): I can appreciate that, but I do think so. I sit at the window seat just so I can control that too. Okay, I do like that I'm in control. It's like my little power trip, and it really does bother me when somebody's on the opposite side of the plane, especially when it's the side of the sun. **CHIP** (00:02:33:20 - 00:02:34:17): Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:02:34:19 - 00:02:37:14): When they keep that baddie open. **CHIP** (00:02:37:16 - 00:02:50:23): So you think because you have the window seat, you should be allowed to control the other window as well? Now you have both. Like I wouldn't be able to pay for both. I think you could do that where it's like, yeah, I have window seat privilege. Window seat plus. **THOMAS** (00:02:51:01 - 00:02:58:18): Yes, window seat plus that is real. First class is when you get a first on both sides. You control all the windows. **CHIP** (00:02:58:19 - 00:03:14:19): All the wind. That's what it is right there. And you get to control I think okay, window seat and maybe like aisle seat plus like like ultra like like window seat. Magnum. You not only get to decide when the windows are up and down, you get to decide what everybody's watching. **THOMAS** (00:03:14:19 - 00:03:22:06): We very quickly just, stumbled into private jet flights. **CHIP** (00:03:22:08 - 00:03:28:01): You know? But it's not private because it's other strangers that you can just ruin their entire trip. **THOMAS** (00:03:28:06 - 00:03:30:15): Oh, okay. So you're the use of this flight? **CHIP** (00:03:30:17 - 00:03:39:05): Yeah. You're watching Happy Gilmore. You were watching the Real Housewives of Atlanta for this entire seven hour trip. **THOMAS** (00:03:39:07 - 00:03:43:11): And it's obvious. It's obvious that they'd rather be watching the other thing. **CHIP** (00:03:43:13 - 00:04:01:06): The other thing. And you're just like, no. Oh, oh, you don't like that? Okay, then you're just going to watch the little, tiny little, cartoon of the plane going across the country, slowly moving across its flight pattern. And you have to watch that the entire time because you mouthed off to me and I have window excelsior. Plus, I mean, because that's where we are in this society anyway. It's just the throat. Make it more like that on the plane where it's like you can, but, you know, okay, so I want a nicer seat, but like, I want to affect the other people to like you, you get to pick, like. All right, you're allowed to recline your seat. Oh, you're being kind of a dick. Then they're reclining on you. I think you pay enough. You should be able to control that. **THOMAS** (00:04:26:17 - 00:04:31:10): Which you pay less. If somebody else could boss you around like that. **CHIP** (00:04:31:11 - 00:04:41:16): Yeah. If it's a it depends on the length of the flight. But I think for like a three, three hour flight, I could endure that for a discount. I think I think I could do that. How about you? **THOMAS** (00:04:45:14 - 00:04:48:00): It has to be a pretty big discount, man. **CHIP** (00:04:48:02 - 00:04:49:13): Yeah. I it's let's see. I think this is I think this is just the way to go. Another thing, too, is I think another way. Instead of having, like, first class and, coach and business, whatever it is. Yeah, is like, you don't get to pick your seat that you're sort of assigned randomly. Okay. And then every 45 minutes. **THOMAS** (00:05:10:23 - 00:05:12:04): Music starts. **CHIP** (00:05:12:06 - 00:05:28:13): The music starts, and it is because of the musical chairs. The flight attendants get to decide who the coolest customers are. Okay. And then they get to move up front to, like, the nicer seats are up front. And so they get to move up. So you have to act appropriately on these planes. **THOMAS** (00:05:28:13 - 00:05:30:15): I like it, it's based on a social score. **CHIP** (00:05:30:15 - 00:05:44:22): It's based on a social. Sure. It's based about are you being polite? Are you do you have your shoes off or are you mouthing off to the to the people round your mouth and off to the the flight attendants? Are you are you rude or you taken up too much space or you and guys like that just bother me. But yeah. So I think if you're being if you're not being a good person. So I think it urges people to act appropriately. Check yourself. You know, prior to you wrecking yourself. Yeah. And then every it's like every hour on the hour, maybe the flight attendants are like, all right, we're going to make some changes. You, sir, you're not acting right. You're back by the bathrooms. You you're doing great. You're up in first class. **THOMAS** (00:06:07:06 - 00:06:12:18): Now, where do you think the behavior of leaving the window shade up or down? **CHIP** (00:06:12:20 - 00:06:18:16): I think that person just stays where they are and gets shunned for the entire flight. **THOMAS** (00:06:18:18 - 00:06:20:17): That might be what's happening in real life already. **CHIP** (00:06:20:18 - 00:06:25:08): Yeah, I think that is what's happening. She's pulling down the shades on her social. **THOMAS** (00:06:25:08 - 00:06:45:14): Life, dude. Well, I cannot wait to hear about the rest of your trip to Omaha. We're going to get into that today. At your big comedy festival. We're going to talk about a Swiss man who said a very strange world record, and we're going to talk about one of the apparently sexiest shirts on the market ship. **CHIP** (00:06:45:16 - 00:06:49:18): One of the most salacious shirts, Hawaiian shirts that you can purchase. **THOMAS** (00:06:49:19 - 00:07:02:00): It is going to get hot. It's going to get tropical. We'll still be people that love comedy. When the Sun Burnt podcast returns to town, Front desk. **CHIP** (00:07:02:02 - 00:07:08:17): Hi, this is Mr. Chantry in room 316. There is a naked man with a plastic knife standing in my room right now. **THOMAS** (00:07:08:19 - 00:07:10:10): I'm calling the police right now. **CHIP** (00:07:10:12 - 00:07:14:12): Oh, wait. Oh, wait, wait. Do you guys have mirrors in your rooms? **THOMAS** (00:07:14:14 - 00:07:15:22): Yes. **CHIP** (00:07:16:00 - 00:07:18:09): Oh. Never mind. False alarm. This is just me. **THOMAS** (00:07:18:11 - 00:07:20:01): Oh my God, chip. **CHIP** (00:07:20:03 - 00:07:22:15): Episode 18. We're finally legal. We can vote. **THOMAS** (00:07:24:03 - 00:07:31:06): We're finally legal. The episode can vote, 162 days until Chip Chantry Thanksgiving in. **CHIP** (00:07:31:06 - 00:07:33:20): Paradise in Waikiki, Hawaii. **THOMAS** (00:07:34:01 - 00:07:57:06): And Waikiki. The dream is real. You're going to be performing in Hawaii. We're still figuring out what everything's going to look like, but you guys are invited. This is our big push for the year. This week, Thanksgiving and Waikiki. We're doing it up right. We're going to be hanging out with the burnt ones. We're going to do an amazing set of shows the night before at the Blue Note Jazz Club. And, now, also a little bit, you know, it's inside baseball, perhaps, but, sun bird podcast.com is up and running. **CHIP** (00:08:05:14 - 00:08:17:03): Yeah. You got the you get the party up I love it, it looks great. So check it out. There's more about the festival on there. More all you can find all of our shows. You can find some more fun stuff on sunburn podcast.com. **THOMAS** (00:08:17:03 - 00:08:38:09): Yeah, it's just a little thing where we're trying to build this thing up. Like, we're, figuring out how to do a comedy event in a quasi foreign land. As friends, as, as a unit and, hopefully as a community, if we can, can keep building this thing up and more and more people are snowballing on and coming with us, but, yeah, I don't know. It's been like a fun new step this year. We've never done anything like it before. And, it's a learning experience. It's taken a lot of effort. But, yeah, website's up. We're running, and we're, continuing to do new things every week to try and make this thing a real success. **CHIP** (00:08:52:17 - 00:08:59:00): And make sure you follow us and subscribe on the on the YouTubes and all we have. There's a page on Facebook now, all that fun stuff. **THOMAS** (00:08:59:00 - 00:09:06:19): Yeah. And the, the actually the the nice thing about the website is it's a hub for all that stuff. So if you do a podcast. **CHIP** (00:09:06:19 - 00:09:07:09): Yeah, just go. **THOMAS** (00:09:07:09 - 00:09:21:18): Follow us, subscribe like some things, click some things. That all helps out a lot. We're, we're trying to do something, that we think is going to be so fun, but it doesn't naturally exist in nature. So it's, we're having to put a little elbow grease into it. **CHIP** (00:09:21:23 - 00:09:24:18): We're making it happen. We're making it happen to chat. **THOMAS** (00:09:24:20 - 00:09:29:01): Tell me about, the Great American Comedy Festival, man. How was that? **CHIP** (00:09:29:03 - 00:09:50:18): Here's the thing I might call the opposite of a tropical location. Yeah, but that's what I thought. Going in. Not so sure anymore. Yeah. So it's. See, the great American comedy Festival in Johnny Carson's hometown of Norfolk, Nebraska, apparently. I guess Johnny Carson was born in Iowa, but was raised in Norfolk. Or they call it the it's it's spelled Norfolk. But, if you're from Norfolk, they pronounce it Norfolk. Norfolk, Nebraska. Just really? Yeah. To keep the outsiders out, to keep them on their toes. I think. Yeah. They call. Yeah. Yeah, the locals call it Norfolk. **THOMAS** (00:10:02:00 - 00:10:03:00): That'll do it. **CHIP** (00:10:03:02 - 00:10:17:20): That was. I think that was the thing I learned. Yeah. So it was in Johnny Carson's hometown. It was great. We did, it was two nights where I was there for three nights, but we did shows two nights, Friday and Saturday, at the Johnny Carson Theater, which is this, like, I think it's like 1500 seat theater. It was great. Mean, it was packed so much fun. Great comedians, including, James Austin Johnson from SNL was on, Friday night. It was great. And, Yakov Smirnoff, legendary Yakov Smirnoff, from Russia originally. And, he was there. And, man, he, they both killed, each night. So it was a lot of fun. **THOMAS** (00:10:38:23 - 00:10:42:13): What's James doing in his standup right now? Is it like, impression stuff? **CHIP** (00:10:42:13 - 00:10:49:06): It's a it's a little bit everything. He was doing impressions, but he was also doing, there's a lot of country music talk. He's got. He's got a lot of thoughts on. **THOMAS** (00:10:49:08 - 00:10:50:17): Oh, yeah, he's a Nashville guy. **CHIP** (00:10:50:19 - 00:11:06:13): Yeah, he's Nashville guy. So, so, yeah, he was just. It really? Yeah, both of them were were a lot of fun. And then there was a lot of great, a lot of great other comics. There was about four, four comics on the show, from, Yeah, from all over the country that we did. Yeah, we did, like ten minutes. And then they did their headlining set, and then we did a late night set at this smaller place, which is great, which is a lot of fun, too. So, but yeah, it was it was wild. I've driven through Nebraska. I drove through, actually coming home from, your wedding in San Diego. Thomas. You're welcome. **THOMAS** (00:11:21:08 - 00:11:21:16): Chip. **CHIP** (00:11:21:21 - 00:11:37:01): Mark. Thank you. We, we came up and, like, I think we stayed in a hotel, maybe, like, outside of Lincoln, Nebraska or something. I forget exactly where, but, we might not have even stayed in Nebraska. But we drove through it, and that's all I know. So this is my first time spending time in Nebraska. Nebraska? Thomas, the only the only of the 50 U.S. states. It's the only triple landlocked state. **THOMAS** (00:11:44:23 - 00:11:49:01): Triple meaning there's land on all sides or three sides. **CHIP** (00:11:49:01 - 00:12:11:08): Triple landlocked. I believe it means you have to go through three states before or three states. Or maybe you like two states and Canada or whatever before you get to the ocean. So it's like, so it's not there's no coast and none of the neighboring states have a coast. And then it's like a level out. So it's like the most landlocked state, I guess, in, the US. So not exactly tropical. But I will say, first of all, it was sunny and 85 degrees every day. **THOMAS** (00:12:16:05 - 00:12:19:21): I mean, the summertime in Omaha doesn't sound too bad. Or. Norfolk. **CHIP** (00:12:19:23 - 00:12:39:19): Norfolk, Norfolk. Yeah. Norfolk. Yeah. So Norfolk is about two hours, I think. North northeast, northwest. A little bit of Omaha. So, So yeah. So I flew in and here's, here's the thing. This is what surprised me. Triple landlocked, middle of the country, not tropical. Found some burnt ones literally right away. **THOMAS** (00:12:39:21 - 00:12:40:22): Oh my gosh. **CHIP** (00:12:41:00 - 00:12:46:02): But like the the second guy I met was wearing a Hawaiian shirt. **THOMAS** (00:12:46:05 - 00:12:53:11): That's what I'm talking about. Yep. It it there's, there's a tingle running through this country. People are jumping on board. **CHIP** (00:12:53:14 - 00:13:13:07): It's not. It's not the location. It's. It's who you're with. It can be a Burton in Nebraska and Burton in Hawaii. It could be a river. It went to Maine, Pennsylvania, wherever you want. And it's. We're going to find out if we get a guy, I think, kind of a burnt one in Switzerland today. But yeah, first of all, this, this guy. So the festival was amazing, and it's it's just run the town has this, like, organization. Johnny Carson had donated money, I think, many years ago to, for this theater, which is, it's beautiful. And then there's a guy who has, he took Johnny Carson's is just a labor of love. This this dude did it. He took Johnny Carson's boyhood home from in Norfolk. Who? It was kind of in disrepair a number of years ago, and he just totally renovated it, and it turned it into, like, this little, I guess just a shrine and, like, a little museum for Johnny Carson. He doesn't live there like nobody lives there. He's just like, I just want to do this. I don't think he charges money for people to visit it. It just. I just wanted to make it. So, we were there, so everybody was just, like, the best in the committee. My buddy Pat Jansen, who used to be a stand up comedian in Pennsylvania, is he runs the festival now. He's like the president of the board there, and he's the one who brought me out. And they were just the nicest people. They're all volunteers. And so it's a two hour drive from the airport. And I had two of the best dudes because you're kind of nervous, so they're like, one of the volunteers will be picking you up. His name is Justin, and you're just like, all right, Justin, like this. So now I have to. I just flew next to a lady who didn't open the shade for two hours, and now I just sit in a car with a stranger for two hours and, like, make small talk like, that's that's exhausting. **THOMAS** (00:14:38:18 - 00:14:49:02): Yeah. No, that's a lot. I remember you actively being worried about this at a time. Yeah. And just like, maybe trapped in there with them, like, this isn't an Uber. Who knows? Yeah. And your job is going to be like. **CHIP** (00:14:49:02 - 00:15:10:23): I'm going to be exhausted. I'm going to be nervous about the the shows. And this dude Justin picked me up. He started doing comedy this year. So he is a standup comedian now and he's also like on the committee or on the board or whatever for, for this festival. And he was there with his buddy Adam. Adam is just sporting a sweet Hawaiian shirt and I'm like, right away disarmed. Do you know what I mean? Like, yeah, just I just saw it and it was like the blood pressure dropped, 20 points. Yeah. And I was just like, oh, this is great. And then they were just the best dudes. We just they're both big comedy fans. And and Justin's now doing stand up, and we just talk shop. The entire two hours, it felt like it felt like 15 minutes. And it was they were just like the nicest people and, and a lot of fun and just, some, some great people in, Nebraska, I did. Okay. I got, I gotta say, so besides the shows, the shows are amazing. We went to this museum, the the Elkhorn Valley Museum, which is, like, all about, like, northeast Nebraska history with all this cool stuff. But then half of it at least is like, dedicated to Johnny Carson. So, like old Tonight Show sets and old Tonight Show memorabilia and like, you know, Doc Severinsen suits and stuff, you know, just a lot of fun. We. I had a run. Thomas, too. Can we can we talk about this for a second? **THOMAS** (00:16:07:21 - 00:16:10:11): He had to run to the bathroom. What are we talking about here? **CHIP** (00:16:10:15 - 00:16:28:20): I mean, maybe, I don't I've never heard of these things before. There's restaurants dedicated to them. Fast food restaurants. Literally just called runs a a runs as, Are you NCAA. It's apparently maybe like Czechoslovakian originally but it's like a Nebraska thing. **THOMAS** (00:16:28:20 - 00:16:30:00): I've never heard of this. **CHIP** (00:16:30:02 - 00:16:50:08): The best way I can describe it. Another comedian apparently in a derogatory way, that they did not appreciate, referred to it as a Nebraska Hot Pocket. And, but they were like, knock that off right away. Yeah, but basically it was this thing. It was maybe about like six or so inches long, you know, whatever. It's just it's a pastry. So it's just picture almost like almost like a Pillsbury croissant kind of pastry, you know. Yeah. Stuffed with ground beef, cabbage and onions. **THOMAS** (00:17:00:23 - 00:17:03:01): I'm in. That sounds pretty interesting. **CHIP** (00:17:03:03 - 00:17:19:20): It was delicious. It was so good. It's like. It's almost like their version of the cheesesteak. I feel like, you know, it's just the. You got the steak, you got the onions and, and some cabbage in there. I'm worried I'm not a big cheese guy. I don't like cheese. So I was like, that's the perfect thing to shove a bunch of disgusting cheese in. Yeah, don't do it, though. I was like, this is perfect. Now you can't do it. Apparently they have like a mushroom in Swiss one. There are a couple of different varieties. But the one I had is just that ground beef, cabbage and onions. And it was, it was, it was delicious. It was amazing. I have so I love a. **THOMAS** (00:17:34:19 - 00:17:35:23): Little local delicacy. **CHIP** (00:17:35:23 - 00:17:54:15): Chip, speaking of food. Yeah. So and they and they fed us the entire time. They like the green room was just packed with food. It was amazing. We had another great lunch. That was this. It was barbecue, and it was just like the best brisket, pork and chicken and big beans. And, it was great, but, we got to talk about food for a second here. Okay? Yeah. This is a vacation thing that I think make or break will make or break a hotel experience. **THOMAS** (00:18:01:11 - 00:18:02:15): All right. Okay. Yeah. Hit me. Yeah. **CHIP** (00:18:02:16 - 00:18:17:12): You could be a high roller. Yep. Okay. Go out for breakfast. Right. Love it. Enjoy it. Going out for breakfast? I'm on vacation. But if you go to a hotel that has a free breakfast buffet. **THOMAS** (00:18:17:18 - 00:18:18:23): Yeah. **CHIP** (00:18:19:01 - 00:18:34:08): It's that is that is. That's something I really, We really looked at when we again when we drove out to San Diego for your wedding, Mark and I, we found that comfort in the Comfort Inn, generally has a really good free breakfast. **THOMAS** (00:18:34:08 - 00:18:36:06): A continental breakfast. **CHIP** (00:18:36:08 - 00:18:54:14): It's a continental breakfast, but it goes even further than that because I think continental breakfast, you'd have, like, a couple of pastries, some coffee, maybe some fruit or whatever. Like this goes. I don't even know the exact definition of kind of a references. I have to look it up, but like, it's if this was like all of that, plus, you know, eggs, sausage, bacon, a. **THOMAS** (00:18:54:14 - 00:18:55:20): Waffle waffle station. **CHIP** (00:18:55:22 - 00:19:16:12): Yeah. Cereal. You know, danishes, you know, the the whole the whole the whole nine yards. And it was, it was great. It was. I think it was Fairfield Inn. Maybe. And here's the thing, though. This is what puts it over the top. Thomas. And this is what made it feel more like a tropical vacation to me in the middle of Nebraska. Okay, you go down in the morning. Great spread for breakfast. I was like, this is amazing. So they have the indoor area where people are sitting. It's got a nice it's a nice area, a bunch of tables for people to sit at. And there's some families there, whatever, kids running around a little bit. But they had an outside area too. Little patio. **THOMAS** (00:19:33:07 - 00:19:34:09): Dining alfresco. **CHIP** (00:19:34:10 - 00:19:55:20): Alfresco. And it's breakfast outdoors is what it is. If you have lunch or dinner outside, that's fine. That's great. We do that. But outdoor breakfast, that means you're on vacation. I feel like, yeah, that's I know you live in Los Angeles and maybe you can do this most times, but, like, that's something special that have breakfast outside. And again, it was just on this nice little that shaded porch. But it looked over just like it was literally just a grass yard and then some woods and a train track that went behind it. So you're not looking at anything too crazy, tropical, beautiful. But it was like there's birds out there singing and every morning you just sat there probably for like an hour, just breakfast by myself and just enjoyed the sights and sounds outside and outdoor breakfast. Man, it makes, it makes feel tropical now. **THOMAS** (00:20:21:03 - 00:20:40:15): It's fantastic. We, did something similar. We had, breakfast outdoors in La Hoya a couple of weeks ago, and we were there. Okay. And, yeah, I don't know, I, I there is something else about it. I even told my wife when we were doing it, I was like this. For whatever reason, this feels like we're on a vacation. Like the. It was a nice restaurant with an outdoor, like, we kind of see the ocean too. That helped. But, Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about, man. Breakfast outdoors. **CHIP** (00:20:51:12 - 00:21:07:11): If you can do this, if you're watching, listen at home, go this Saturday. If you don't think like, okay, first of all, this Saturday, if you can't go out to breakfast, you got to treat yourself. Or if not, just take your breakfast, go outside, sit out on your backyard. Sit on the, on the front stoop wherever you are. The balcony of your apartment. If the weather's nice and just sit out there and have breakfast, you will feel like you're on vacation. And it's. It was the best. **THOMAS** (00:21:15:02 - 00:21:42:21): I do have. Okay. One thing I want to double back. Do you think there is any chance that this young man sporting the Hawaiian shirt that picked you up, who's a big comedy fan? Yeah. May have done even the slightest Google on who Chip Chantry is and seen that he's hosted at that point, 17 episodes of Tropical Comedy Podcast where we wear a white shirts and talk about Hawaiian shirts every week. Do you think he would chance? He might have. **CHIP** (00:21:45:08 - 00:22:01:14): I would have loved that. And I think they might have looked it up a little bit, but I don't. I he, I brought it up and he seemed pretty surprised and excited that I, that I said that. So it wasn't like I did this. No. He I think this is legitimately he has even said he's like, oh yeah, it's my dad's shirt. It used to be my dad shirt. I just like wearing it. So yeah. **THOMAS** (00:22:04:07 - 00:22:18:00): My first Hawaiian shirt was my dad shirt. Okay. So that's a great entry way shirt. It had parrots on it. It was roughly the same color red as yours right now. Oh. Okay. Yeah. No. And he he's born into it. He's born into a bird. **CHIP** (00:22:18:01 - 00:22:36:17): Man. Was. This is a burnt one family. And, Yeah. And, but there was a couple other guys, like, wearing just around Norfolk, just wearing those whites. And I was like, these are guys that I could talk to, you know? This just. They just seem disarmed. They just seem fun. And everybody was like, just again, I can't overstate, like, how friendly everybody was. And it was, it was it was a lot of fun. Oh, I did the opposite of vacation. I did some work, there, literally drove a combine. That was fun. Okay. Like a, you know, a combine is like a track. The giant tractor that like. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like harvest corn and takes it in and does the whole the whole nine yards. Yeah. It's giant tractor they took us to. So, Okay. Oh, I gotta take the. Oh. And I want a hundred bucks besides getting paid for being out there. Okay, so the second day they take us out to they, they first of all, they just chauffeur us everywhere. It was great. We had these, this this great couple, Dave and Janelle. They took me and my buddy Adam, another comedian. They took us to and from everywhere we needed to go. They picked us up and they took us to the Johnny Carson home, the house. And which is like a museum. We got to, like, tour it. We watched his, like, video about it. They had this great spread. And then the guy who runs, who owns it, he just does this thing and he's done every year. And I had heard, little whispers of what's happening. He took us out to the driveway and it's a detached garage. And just like you see in just middle America, and apparently Johnny Carson had it or or at least in the video we were watching this video from 1980 where Johnny Carson went back to the house to visit the family that was living there. And, and they had a basketball hoop up on the driveway on the, on the garage as, as you'll see. Right. Yeah. And he this the guy who does it says, all right, any comedians I, we have a basketball challenge. And he had a couple basketballs and he's like there's like a three point line there. It was just basically a line in there in the driveway. And he's like anybody who makes you have. We have a little bit of time, before we have to move on to the next thing, anybody who makes three three pointers in a row, I will give you $100. I'll give you $100 cash. **THOMAS** (00:24:29:06 - 00:24:31:21): But how did you get $100? Yep. **CHIP** (00:24:31:23 - 00:24:37:00): I know right. I, I, I stole it from one of the guys who made three baskets in a row. **THOMAS** (00:24:37:02 - 00:24:41:20): And when I realized he had cash, I punched him, and I made $100. **CHIP** (00:24:42:00 - 00:24:52:18): I made 100 smackers. I gotta say, I haven't I haven't played basketball in a while. I don't think I've. I've shot a basketball probably in a couple of years. I was thinking about it. I was like, I'm actually played hoops. **THOMAS** (00:24:52:18 - 00:24:55:07): So there's a reasonable amount of rest to be expected. **CHIP** (00:24:55:07 - 00:25:12:13): 100%. And I, I took that first shot, man. And and there's people around. It's the other comics and there's like 20 volunteers. Everybody's hanging out. And then I and it was it was rough. It was an airball like I was like, oh, they like I was like, this is not. And I almost quit then because it's very informal. But like I was watching, I was like, I'm not gonna be able to do this. And there were some guys and some comics, like they were feeling pretty good about it. And, so I just, I just airport. I was like, yeah. I was like, well, I guess I gotta keep trying. Thomas. Next three in a row. Bang, bang, bang. Right in a row. I was the first guy to do it. I was the only one who had done it so far. And, went wild. Everyone. That's where he was. Great. So he presents me with a $100 bill. And there were three other comics there. With me that were, that were doing it. And, they were really on it. And the guy had told us he's like, I have not given out $100 bill in a couple of years. Wow. But a couple years ago, I gave out $400 bills the one day, and there was four guys who were like, we got to do this. And within the next 15 minutes, all four of us nailed it. The man handed out four $100 bills, so I made a hundred bucks. **THOMAS** (00:26:09:06 - 00:26:10:01): Chip. **CHIP** (00:26:10:03 - 00:26:38:17): Unbelievable. Johnny Carson's, basketball hoop. Oh, so then they take us to this, like, tractor company? Dink. Dink. Also, give him a shout out. Dingle's tractor company in in in, Norfolk. And they, showed us around and they were, like, showing us, like, all the different piece of machinery. And then they had a guy with a tractor and a guy with a giant combine, and they let us hop up in the cabs and, like, they drove us around, and then they got us in the driver's seat, and I was like, driving around a combine for a little bit. And, I think I have a new calling in life. I think I can, I think I'm going to drive a combine. I think we're going to, get a farm and we're going to drive that combine around. Okay. You've seen a combine, right, Tom? Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:26:51:18 - 00:27:01:19): No, they're humongous. And I think it's so savvy of them to be like, this is something we see every day. People here drive this every day. Yeah. As a city mouse. **CHIP** (00:27:01:21 - 00:27:02:08): Yes. **THOMAS** (00:27:02:08 - 00:27:03:07): In the country. **CHIP** (00:27:03:08 - 00:27:04:21): With a fresh hundred dollar bill in my. **THOMAS** (00:27:04:21 - 00:27:15:20): Pocket with a fresh hundred dollar. I can't imagine anything more exciting or, like, unique an experience. Like they they're dialed in to what city folk might find interesting. **CHIP** (00:27:15:22 - 00:27:16:06): I think. **THOMAS** (00:27:16:11 - 00:27:21:11): Very, very smart. I mean, they were showing you quite the hospitality chip. **CHIP** (00:27:21:13 - 00:27:34:07): They're great. Okay, I'm going to ask you right now if Tommy your farmer, or let's just say you're a, agriculture enthusiast and you wanted to buy, purchase a brand new combine. Brand new. **THOMAS** (00:27:34:09 - 00:27:35:02): Yeah. **CHIP** (00:27:35:04 - 00:27:38:17): How much you, how much you paying I. **THOMAS** (00:27:38:19 - 00:27:53:21): I, I it's specialty equipment. It's heavy equipment. I'm going to say I'm going to go half the price of an entry level home in the town I grew up in. **CHIP** (00:27:54:03 - 00:27:55:12): Okay. **THOMAS** (00:27:55:14 - 00:28:00:02): Which I'm going to put it somewhere around like 150, 150,000. **CHIP** (00:28:00:02 - 00:28:04:07): Dollars, $150,000, I actually guess right around $100,000. **THOMAS** (00:28:04:09 - 00:28:05:16): **CHIP** (00:28:05:18 - 00:28:09:05): $800,000. **THOMAS** (00:28:09:07 - 00:28:10:14): And they let you drive it. **CHIP** (00:28:10:16 - 00:28:26:12): And they let me drive. Why? How this is derelict in duty is is really what this is. This is dangerous. They just let me drive around with this thing. I was like, I'm driving around with over a quarter million dollars worth of property. Oh, and then they say they burn up sometimes, too. It's because it's like, things get hot. The the wheat, the shaft just gets hot sometimes. And like, yeah, you're, you're if you don't service it the right way, they're just like it's, you know, it's a, it's a big piece of machinery. It's hot and it's on a hot day and it might be dry and like, think about all that grain or the, you know, if, if the corn is dry whatever. **THOMAS** (00:28:43:07 - 00:28:43:17): Yeah. **CHIP** (00:28:43:21 - 00:28:49:13): You're taking it in and it something catches. He's like that stuff just goes up quick. Just. Over three quarters of $1 million. **THOMAS** (00:28:52:07 - 00:29:07:06): Just oh how could that go as wrong as possible. Like that's just what's funny to me is like, we let the, the Caucasian community and. Yeah, drive the company out and. Yeah. Is it you got straight through somebody's living room. Do you hit the barn? **CHIP** (00:29:07:06 - 00:29:10:04): I just toppled Johnny Carson's boyhood home. Yeah. Just get run out of town with just, like, pitchforks and and torches. **THOMAS** (00:29:16:10 - 00:29:21:14): On the way out of the cockpit after you tore down the house, you shoot one last three. **CHIP** (00:29:21:16 - 00:29:23:07): Yeah. Later, skaters boom! Out. **THOMAS** (00:29:25:07 - 00:29:27:23): Yeah. Oh, yeah. You nail a hook? **CHIP** (00:29:28:01 - 00:29:30:16): Yep. Nail hook. Grab a couple runs. **THOMAS** (00:29:32:05 - 00:29:37:12): Runs. Get out of town. But, so you drove the compound, and then what was next on the hit parade? Dude, as I kind of. **CHIP** (00:29:37:16 - 00:29:54:10): That was kind of it. And back to, back to the show, back to the hotel. And then our last show was a Saturday night, and, the concert crowds were amazing. It was it was so much fun. They were they were great. And the comics were great. From from all over. It was, it was it was nice to hang out because I don't do I don't do that many festivals. Yeah. And now I'm almost kind of kicking myself that I haven't done more in the past. This one I think is kind of special, but just like it was just. We hung out. We. Oh. And then there was a guy, so Johnny Carson did magic when he was, like, a teenager. He started out like he would do, like, magic shows or whatever. And he, you know, got into radio and into comedy and, so it's a three night festival. The first night is I got in kind of late, so I didn't get to go to the show, but they do a magic show and it's like, apparently it's like these big time magicians. Like, you know, it apparently is an amazing show. So the first night's magic show and then the next two nights are comedy and. But the what? The. I met two of the magicians on the way out. They were just leaving, like, the next day, and so I just said hi and briefly. But then the one magician stuck around this guy, Joe Monty, and, And he's from the Bronx originally, he lives in LA, now lives in, Woodland Hills, I think. And, he but he was saying how, like, you know, he's just been around forever. He spent time, he stayed at the outrigger in, Waikiki. Like he performed there for, like, a year back. Really? Yeah. Yeah, as a magician. Like, that's that's that's. **THOMAS** (00:31:08:02 - 00:31:10:03): That's where the Blue Note is. Yep. **CHIP** (00:31:10:05 - 00:31:21:21): I just write. I was like, I'm going to be out there. So he did that for sure. And then he's like, so after the show, the comics would go back to the hotel and we just like hang out in the lobby. And he's like showing us card tricks and like, just blown us away with card trick, which was just the best, which is so much fun. And then I found out, are you Freaks and Geeks guy? Do you remember, do you remember? It's the last episode, the final episode of the series. Jason Siegel's character gets in with a new girlfriend, and she gets him into disco, and he. He does a disco contest, and he's like, he's, like, dancing all serious, and he's going to win this, but then he loses because this guy does, like, disco magic and like, does all these, like, magic tricks as he's like, dancing disco. That's Joe. Marty, the guy who he was. Eugene, the magic disco guy. **THOMAS** (00:31:57:05 - 00:31:58:07): That's unbelievable. **CHIP** (00:31:58:12 - 00:32:00:12): Yeah. So, that was that was a lot of fun. **THOMAS** (00:32:00:17 - 00:32:09:03): That's that. That's a much better story than, like. And, this guy I met, he reminded me of that scene. **CHIP** (00:32:09:05 - 00:32:09:19): Yeah. Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:32:11:18 - 00:32:17:15): That's that's, That's. Wow. This guy has a lot of touchstones where you chip the outrigger. Freaks and Geeks, which is one of your all time favorite. **CHIP** (00:32:17:15 - 00:32:19:09): All time favorites. Yeah, yeah. **THOMAS** (00:32:19:11 - 00:32:21:15): Dude. What? Yeah. What what a weekend. **CHIP** (00:32:21:17 - 00:32:22:23): Yeah, yeah, it was it was wild. **THOMAS** (00:32:23:00 - 00:32:38:22): Yeah, I love magic, dude. I love magic more than they even care to admit. Yeah, it, it there's some the child portion. I mean, the part of me that does want the shade up just to lights. Yeah. And a little, a GNC. **CHIP** (00:32:39:00 - 00:32:54:21): It's great. Oh, and then. Okay, so we meet two of the other comedians. As they were leaving the hotel, the one afternoon we were coming in and they were leaving to go to the airport and it was with one of the other, like, ambassadors for the thing. So they introduced us. They go the comedian like, oh, I'm sorry we missed the show. And there was this, this young woman, she was a she was a magician. And apparently she's like amazing. But she's like really like kind of, like, intently looking at me like. Yeah, like really kind of like I'm like, oh, hey. Horrible, right? And she's like, it's almost like she's like checking me out or something. I'm like, this is like, this is like very straight. Like it was like, oh, like, hi. You know, like, you know, I'm getting this, like, weird, this vibe that's like, it's like just looking at me. Check me. And then I was like, okay, that was. That was kind of strange, like. But she. She was very nice, you know? Whatever. But I was like, wow, I don't know. She was like star struck by a comedian or what was going on. But she's this like, you know, big magician. And then later on, my, my buddy who was also there, was like, yeah, she was like, really staring at me. Like she was like. It was like. She was almost like. She was like checking me out or whatever. And then we realized it's just like the magic, the magician's eyes. **THOMAS** (00:33:49:18 - 00:33:52:08): The magicians gaze, people of. **CHIP** (00:33:52:10 - 00:34:19:11): Gaze. That was like they were just so intent. And maybe. Maybe I'm now hypnotized. Like, maybe now I have superpowers. Maybe she has taken some magic energy from me, but was something that she did to each of us individually that we didn't know, that we just were just like, this was the most intense, interaction we've ever had that that lasted 30s. See, comedians don't have that. Comedians just. We just have googly eyes, that's all. **THOMAS** (00:34:23:06 - 00:34:27:03): No, no, comedians rarely can even look, grown up in the eyes. **CHIP** (00:34:27:05 - 00:34:30:10): Oh. Eye contact, eye contact. First of all, it's just that's a chore. **THOMAS** (00:34:30:14 - 00:34:43:21): Yeah, but that would be quite a trip. Like, what if she. What if she was staring at both of you at the same time? What if that's her trick? She. Everybody in the room was. She's like, one of those paintings where wherever you stand in the room, it's staring right at you. You look at that going on. **CHIP** (00:34:44:02 - 00:34:50:19): I honestly, I think that's what I think she was. She was workshopping a new trick where she was looking at both of us at the same time. **THOMAS** (00:34:50:20 - 00:35:02:23): If a man had that power, just staring at everybody at all times in the same room, everybody thinks they're looking at him. He's just going to get slap after slap in the face. That's creepy. That's creepy behavior from a young man. **CHIP** (00:35:03:03 - 00:35:06:19): Lots, lots of drinks thrown right in the puss. Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:35:07:19 - 00:35:15:14): Right in the past. Yeah. Well, Chip, dude, I love that you found a little tropical rasp at. **CHIP** (00:35:15:16 - 00:35:19:15): And in the middle of the country and in the middle of a bunch of, I think a bunch of burnt once. **THOMAS** (00:35:19:20 - 00:35:24:13): A bunch of birds. You know what else helps you find some tropical rasp chip. **CHIP** (00:35:24:15 - 00:35:25:22): And say, Sammy. **THOMAS** (00:35:26:00 - 00:35:29:16): This right here. Do you want to get into it, buddy? Are you one today? **CHIP** (00:35:29:18 - 00:35:32:23): I'm one today, buddy. Let's put on slather on. **THOMAS** (00:35:33:01 - 00:35:51:23): Some, get a little slather going. Oh, and, once again, we are using Hawaiian Tropic. Sheer touch. I've got the 50 over here. Oh, yeah. I was already feeling pretty good. Yep. I know, it's like, a lot of wild stuff going out in the world. **CHIP** (00:35:52:02 - 00:35:52:21): Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:35:52:23 - 00:35:53:20): **CHIP** (00:35:53:22 - 00:36:04:12): That you have to engage in, but then you have to disengage sometimes and just. Yeah. And take a trip on the beach. Have have some outdoor breakfast. It's what I'm saying. Every once in a while you get to have your breakfast outside. **THOMAS** (00:36:04:14 - 00:36:12:13): Yeah. And you gotta sunscreen responsibly when you're outdoors. Yeah, but, Oh. Okay. I was already feeling pretty good. This is great. Yep. **CHIP** (00:36:12:15 - 00:36:13:20): Kicked it up a notch, buddy. **THOMAS** (00:36:13:20 - 00:36:25:22): Congratulations on a good fest. It sounds like you'll probably be saying yes to a couple of more of those in the near future, as opposed to your customary. I'm not going. **CHIP** (00:36:26:00 - 00:36:30:04): Exactly. I don't want to interact with other comics. Why, want to do. **THOMAS** (00:36:30:04 - 00:36:42:20): That, though. It's so fun once you do it. Yeah. It is a hassle to think about getting on the plane and, then taking an extra drive. It sounds like in this case, but you know who's not scared of a challenge? **CHIP** (00:36:42:22 - 00:36:44:05): Who's that? **THOMAS** (00:36:44:07 - 00:36:51:04): The Swiss gentleman we're going to talk about, man. Chips, can you take us to Switzerland one time? Let us hear what's going on. **CHIP** (00:36:51:05 - 00:37:15:11): Yeah. Speaking of landlocked country, that's not necessarily tropical at all. This Swiss Mr., is a so is this gentleman in Switzerland. He is a competitive weightlifter. So like powerlifter. So this guy is like, this guy's no, no joke, right? Yeah. He wanted to talk about people, talk about cold plunges on podcasts. I mean, that's a thing, right? Yeah, yeah. This dude took the cold plunge to a new height or actually, probably a new low. Decided to set the world record heat. He he had found out that the world record for basically being buried in snow with very little clothing on, he was just wearing. So, for example, he was just wearing his swim trunks. And I guess people in Switzerland have swim trunks and, he, he had his friends bury him in many feet of snow. He had his head sticking out, but he had his own little, like, you know, igloo kind of, nest situation there that they just piled on whole bunch of snow and he saw that the the old record was like an hour and 45 minutes that somebody could just basically naked, lay in snow for an hour and 45 minutes and with, with stand it, he's like, I'm going to do two hours. And he did just that. He had they they piled them up, with snow with his little head sticking out. And he stayed wearing just swim trunks in, packed in snow for over two hours. He's a world record holder now. **THOMAS** (00:38:27:00 - 00:38:34:19): This is so unbearable to me. A chap like I cannot. I mean, I live in Los Angeles. I cannot handle even a little bit of cold. **CHIP** (00:38:34:21 - 00:38:35:15): Yeah. This. **THOMAS** (00:38:36:06 - 00:38:38:21): This is beyond. This is beyond me. **CHIP** (00:38:38:23 - 00:38:46:03): Yeah. This is mental and physical dexterity and, toughness. **THOMAS** (00:38:46:05 - 00:38:46:20): Yeah. **CHIP** (00:38:46:22 - 00:38:53:05): You know, I, have we we do not possess any of that. The that. No. Like, you ever, like, try to get in a pool and you're like, no, thanks. I'm just going to sit on the lounge chair. Oh, yeah. **THOMAS** (00:39:00:03 - 00:39:19:22): I've, I've backed out of pools on a warm day because it was a little too chilly for me. Yeah, I, I, I read the article. You sent it to me. He, wanted to prove, that the human body can do amazing things. That was like, his big reason for doing it. Also, like, I assume he's jacked out of his mind. He's like a power lifter. Like, **CHIP** (00:39:21:22 - 00:39:22:08): A. **THOMAS** (00:39:22:10 - 00:39:24:06): Professional athlete of some sort. **CHIP** (00:39:24:08 - 00:39:25:10): Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:39:25:12 - 00:39:47:06): But, yeah, just, you know it. You know what doesn't help you fight with your big old muscles? The cold. Yeah, like the cold can make anybody. And honestly, if you were to tell me, like. It was deadly to be naked in snow, like. And he's packed in. He's he's covered on all sides. **CHIP** (00:39:47:09 - 00:40:08:23): On all sides. Just that head sticking out. And he, he said that the worst part wasn't the cold. This is crazy. It wasn't necessarily the cold. It was the weight of the snow pushing down on him on his head. His shoulders and his back were all screwed up because, like, it was like they put a number of feet of snow on top. Like, I don't know why they had to like, heap it on that much, but it was a number of feet of snow. So it was it was heavy. So like he was like that was actually the worst part. **THOMAS** (00:40:18:05 - 00:40:35:23): I wonder like, is that even be possible? Like, I think he's just so cold that everything feels awful. And he's like, oh, that's why, also like that you're in fresh snow, right? You're a warm thing. Yeah. Some of the snow is going to melt on your back and then reform into ice. And I can get that. Yeah. That's going to be really uncomfortable to sit on after a little bit. But you're you're so numbed up. **CHIP** (00:40:40:21 - 00:40:53:10): Yeah. Yeah. You have to be numb and like just getting him up then like so they, they showed a little video and it's like they dug them out and they're getting up. And obviously like he had trouble like standing up and walking for a little bit. Like I'm sure it's useless. They're just completely seized. **THOMAS** (00:40:53:12 - 00:40:55:20): Are you not worried about frostbite? **CHIP** (00:40:55:22 - 00:41:07:05): I that's what I don't understand. It's like, how is he not completely gangrene at this point. Like just we see, we've seen we've seen documentaries about the Revolutionary War. We know how that works. **THOMAS** (00:41:07:08 - 00:41:12:04): I watch 1923. Right. I saw how that ended. First of all. **CHIP** (00:41:12:06 - 00:41:20:22): I will say he he got the record. He laid in snow for two hours. He is in Switzerland. I kind of thought maybe that was just how they slipped everything. Apparently not. I. **THOMAS** (00:41:22:09 - 00:41:28:17): I did have a friend that went to, that, snow hotel. **CHIP** (00:41:28:19 - 00:41:32:05): Oh, the one that's made out of, like, snow and ice where he says in Norway. **THOMAS** (00:41:32:05 - 00:41:35:02): Maybe it's it's somewhere in Nordic. Yeah, somewhere. **CHIP** (00:41:35:02 - 00:41:40:21): And what? Tell me. Tell me about that. I guess the opposite of Waikiki. But go ahead. **THOMAS** (00:41:40:23 - 00:42:00:01): The opposite way. It's just like it's it's an experience you pay for. And it really is just like your room is ice and there's a bed there, but, like, it's like, you know, you're warm enough in the bed, but it is just cold and the whole place, and it's supposed to be beautiful. It really is. Just like you want a new life experience you haven't had before. You have too much money. Yeah. Come sleep in an ice castle. **CHIP** (00:42:03:15 - 00:42:14:00): Yeah. What if, like, I would do that, but, like, just it would just be a motel with no windows in February. Like, here's something I haven't done. **THOMAS** (00:42:14:02 - 00:42:16:16): Yeah, just crank up the AC. **CHIP** (00:42:16:20 - 00:42:20:12): Just the budget. It's just the most budget version of that. **THOMAS** (00:42:20:14 - 00:42:24:19): Yeah. No, I like that. Yeah. Just, getting a new experience. **CHIP** (00:42:24:21 - 00:42:40:19): This guy, this guy did kind of have a win win situation, though, because he got the world record for being buried in snow for two hours. He also could have gotten the record for the funniest way to die. **THOMAS** (00:42:40:21 - 00:42:52:08): I what I heard, I was like, I think the world record he's trying to set is for the most shrinkage, while having the hardest nipples. **CHIP** (00:42:52:10 - 00:42:54:03): It went inside. Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:42:54:03 - 00:42:58:08): He it's a it's, it's a it's an any it's an anything now. **CHIP** (00:42:58:10 - 00:43:05:08): It's it's an any now and yeah those those nips must have been, must have been tender for a couple of days. I'm gonna have to. **THOMAS** (00:43:05:13 - 00:43:09:11): Oh I mean, they are the, thermometers are popped for a while. **CHIP** (00:43:09:13 - 00:43:15:01): Yeah. I'm not doing that. Is that is that something that appeals to you at all? **THOMAS** (00:43:15:03 - 00:43:16:21): No, not at all. Not at all. **CHIP** (00:43:17:03 - 00:43:21:11): Have you ever thought about, setting a world record? Like, what would your world record be? Do you think? **THOMAS** (00:43:21:13 - 00:43:23:17): Oh, I'm not sure. **CHIP** (00:43:23:19 - 00:43:25:22): Were you a Guinness kid? Did you? **THOMAS** (00:43:25:22 - 00:43:37:05): Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, like, the the the obese twins on the motorcycle were like my idols growing up. Yeah, I, I would, I would get the new Guinness book every year. **CHIP** (00:43:37:07 - 00:43:52:21): Yeah. It was, it was my favorite thing to look at. My parents had like some old copies and it just smelled weird, you know, just like, yeah, that old book smell. And it was. And you remember there was like a section that they use and they saw this, but there was a section that like instead of the pages being white, the pages were gray. Yeah. And it was like, because these are like, we don't really necessarily want kids to see these because they're like sort of their dangerous. **THOMAS** (00:44:01:11 - 00:44:03:12): Oh, really, I, I didn't I don't. **CHIP** (00:44:03:12 - 00:44:15:08): Think it was something along. It was something along those lines that were like more risque or dangerous or like this could kill you by doing, doing this. But, like just those old pictures of, I think it's Chang and Ng the the conjoined twins. **THOMAS** (00:44:15:10 - 00:44:15:15): Yeah. **CHIP** (00:44:15:15 - 00:44:39:16): Yeah, like those guys, the Sammy's twins, and then the, the. Is it Robert Wadlow something? I think that the world's tallest man, you know, like nine feet tall, and they just creep me out, and then they're like the smallest lady. She was like this, like. Yeah, I think lady from, like, India, I think. And she was literally like a foot tall and just like it creeped me out so much, but like, was I was just so, so invested in it. **THOMAS** (00:44:39:22 - 00:44:55:04): Yeah. Just fascinating. Like the, the scope of the human experience and what can be accomplished. It was always really inspiring to me. I loved I could flip through those things all day long. And, yeah, I would daydream about, like, you know, how do I get in this book? **CHIP** (00:44:55:06 - 00:45:13:09): Yeah. How do I what can I do? Like I'm going to juggle the most hula hoops. You know, I'm going to. Yeah, I'm going to sit on the most balloons in five minutes. Yeah. And it's so it's so these people have these records. I'm not go into the snow to these records. **THOMAS** (00:45:13:09 - 00:45:14:06): No. **CHIP** (00:45:14:08 - 00:45:22:08): I think we could do, like some sunburnt ones, though. Like, what could we do? Like tropical like, much more easy maybe. **THOMAS** (00:45:22:10 - 00:45:46:19): Well, I mean, I don't, I don't know about easy, but like, the first thing that pops in my mind is the exact opposite. It's like, this is a he's a frozen one. The burnt version is just no base tan going out there, no sunscreen and just sizzling. Like, how long? How long can you be at the equator with, level one white skin? Yeah. No sunscreen and just, you know, power it. **CHIP** (00:45:50:10 - 00:45:58:15): Out. Let it burn. Burn, baby. Burn, like, just two, two hours of just taking it with one of those, one of those, like, middle 60s. **THOMAS** (00:45:58:17 - 00:46:01:09): Oh, yeah. Reflector fans or whatever it is. **CHIP** (00:46:01:15 - 00:46:02:04): Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:46:02:06 - 00:46:07:01): Yeah, I think I think that that might be a version. That might be your version. **CHIP** (00:46:07:04 - 00:46:15:04): I think we do that. Like or just. I got three words for you right now. Lava skinny dipping. Oh. I mean, just go for it. If you're going to go for it, go for it. **THOMAS** (00:46:15:06 - 00:46:17:21): This is just jump in a lava pit. **CHIP** (00:46:17:23 - 00:46:19:07): Yeah. He. Yeah, he, he got the world work for being the stupidest person alive. **THOMAS** (00:46:22:23 - 00:46:27:05): Yeah, I, I don't know. Do you get a record for suicide? **CHIP** (00:46:27:10 - 00:46:46:02): I don't think probably not. You probably don't. Or like. Okay, here's another one that's more like what if you like, slathered in? I'm going to go the other way. Slathered in the most sunscreen. Like just having, like, two inches of sunscreen all over your body at all time. Like you're just, like, walking around like a walking block of cream cheese. **THOMAS** (00:46:46:04 - 00:46:50:16): Just the full sunscreen. Mommy experience. **CHIP** (00:46:50:19 - 00:46:52:03): The sunny my. Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:46:52:05 - 00:46:53:22): I bet it would smell nice. **CHIP** (00:46:54:00 - 00:47:11:01): Yeah. This man, this man was buried in a pile of 150 ukuleles, just like me laying there just under a pile. Eaglettes. Hey, guys. What's up? And I'm just. I'm just in the sand, which Lily's on top of me, but I'm like, yeah, I can do this. **THOMAS** (00:47:11:02 - 00:47:22:00): The longest time, buried any ukuleles or like, the, the fastest person to solve a Rubik's cube after having 14 my ties. **CHIP** (00:47:22:02 - 00:47:25:06): It's it's still ongoing. It's been 13 years. **THOMAS** (00:47:25:08 - 00:47:29:21): I just it's not going to do it, but the. My ties keep coming. **CHIP** (00:47:29:23 - 00:47:39:00): Speaking of drinks, what about, fast? World's fastest brain freeze from drinking strawberry daiquiris? Just like just one big sip right off the bat. Just brain freeze immediately. World record. Right? **THOMAS** (00:47:43:23 - 00:47:58:19): Yeah, you really got it. You really got to train for that one. Yeah. What about just like, the first person to bite a shark in the water? **CHIP** (00:47:58:21 - 00:48:00:00): That's man bite. Shark is. If that's not a t shirt, that's a t shirt we're making right there. **THOMAS** (00:48:05:22 - 00:48:07:01): I like it, man. **CHIP** (00:48:07:01 - 00:48:07:18): Bite shark. **THOMAS** (00:48:07:20 - 00:48:09:20): Man bite shark. **CHIP** (00:48:09:22 - 00:48:28:11): Yeah. Yeah. Like just just having just it's maybe something is as simple as like wearing the most leis, you know, like I could do that just like I just keep throwing the leis on me. I'm good. Like I'm not. I'm not chilly at all. And I'm feeling pretty decent right now. **THOMAS** (00:48:28:13 - 00:48:41:18): How about this is one I think I could do easily without even trying? Most questions asked to a captain on a one hour dinner sale. **CHIP** (00:48:41:20 - 00:48:54:00): So, How's this work? Is this starboard? Right. You just you just keep and and you have to not only continually ask questions, but ask them in a way where you don't get thrown overboard. **THOMAS** (00:48:54:02 - 00:48:55:03): Oh, yeah, that's. **CHIP** (00:48:55:06 - 00:49:02:22): What I mean. Like there is a that is harder. Like, you can just like spout out questions that captain, but a captain is going to he's not going to have time for your for your crap. Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:49:02:22 - 00:49:06:21): Like every fourth question is just like, what's it feel like to look so handsome in that. **CHIP** (00:49:06:22 - 00:49:14:13): Exactly. That's what you have to do. You have to keep throwing it. Yeah, yeah. Wow. How tall are you? You know, just like, make it make him feel good about himself. **THOMAS** (00:49:14:15 - 00:49:25:07): The open waters got to add at least three inches to your. Your height. Yeah. Just visually, you look stunning out here. Anyways, what's this crank do? What's this button? I keep pushing? **CHIP** (00:49:25:09 - 00:49:28:14): Yeah. Are there really? Mermaids? **THOMAS** (00:49:28:17 - 00:49:31:15): Yeah. Do you have food for my cockatiel? **CHIP** (00:49:31:17 - 00:49:32:23): Yeah. What's your middle name? Can I go diving? Do you like scuba? What's scuba stand for? Is snorkeling better? **THOMAS** (00:49:41:04 - 00:49:44:13): What's Captain Crunch all about? You ever met him or mackerels. **CHIP** (00:49:44:13 - 00:50:09:09): Really? Holy. But anyway, this guy, he has the record for being the most frozen. I think you and I could have the record for being the most chill. I think that's that's what we do. Just the two most chill, chill guys. Just post it up. Hanging out, be like, everybody's like, man, these guys are chill. And then we we get a world record for that. **THOMAS** (00:50:09:11 - 00:50:17:11): Yeah, I think they just need to take our cell phones and internet. Yep. And yeah. As long as I don't know all of the, all of. **CHIP** (00:50:17:11 - 00:50:22:20): Our internal thoughts, maybe like a quick, maybe a quick lobotomy. Yeah. Something along those lines. **THOMAS** (00:50:22:22 - 00:50:27:01): We're we're just hooked up to an EKG so we know the heart's going. **CHIP** (00:50:27:01 - 00:50:29:06): All right. Just how how chill we are. Yeah. So beep. Beep. **THOMAS** (00:50:32:08 - 00:50:42:07): I mean it. Can this be on a different scale, though? Can it be, like, chill for, just incredibly anxious hypochondriacs? **CHIP** (00:50:42:09 - 00:50:56:19): Because that that would be the accomplishment for us. Yeah. You're two of the least chill guys in the world. So we can become chill. Yeah. That that is that is a record worth, worth making. Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:50:56:19 - 00:51:08:09): Oh, man. I wonder so this is, like, more in the realm of possibility, like, is one of our days in Waikiki because we're still dialing in. How many days we're actually going to be there? **CHIP** (00:51:08:12 - 00:51:09:04): Yes. **THOMAS** (00:51:09:04 - 00:51:14:04): But is it dedicated to setting that chill record? **CHIP** (00:51:14:06 - 00:51:26:14): I think maybe it is like, how do we how do you go about like, how do you go about getting in it? Like, I'm sure the guy from Switzerland, like he did some cold plunges, he prepared his body. **THOMAS** (00:51:26:14 - 00:51:26:18): For. **CHIP** (00:51:26:20 - 00:51:33:17): Probably the course of months. It's like when, which Joey Chestnut or who's the other? The famous eater guy? **THOMAS** (00:51:33:18 - 00:51:34:18): Like the Kobayashi. **CHIP** (00:51:34:21 - 00:51:40:19): Kobayashi? Like they eat to stretch out that stomach. Like. Yeah. How do we stretch out our our souls stomachs? **THOMAS** (00:51:40:19 - 00:51:59:16): I can, well, first of all, respect to Joey Chestnut. He's back in the hot dog contest this year. Is he? I just saw I just saw that news. He. I think I think he got kicked out. I, I, you know, I haven't read a whole article in 50 years. Sure. I read headlines and then make assumptions. Yes, but I pretty sure. **CHIP** (00:52:01:14 - 00:52:02:21): Welcome to America, Thomas. **THOMAS** (00:52:03:03 - 00:52:21:07): I'm pretty sure he had to. He got kicked out of the Nathan's, hot dog eating contest because he got a, promotion deal for vegan hot dogs or, like, meatless hot dogs or something like that. And they're just like, oh, then you can't come to our thing. **CHIP** (00:52:21:09 - 00:52:21:21): Amazing. **THOMAS** (00:52:22:02 - 00:52:42:09): And I think he's back in at this year. Yeah, they're really training. But I will tell you, personal experience, like the first vacation I ever went on, that was purely for relaxation. Like a relaxing vacation was to where we're going. It was to Waikiki. And I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know how to prepare. I didn't know how to do it. And I will tell you that it wasn't until day three of four that I mentally arrived in Hawaii. **CHIP** (00:52:52:09 - 00:52:56:17): So it took those clicking down days to just get in the zone. **THOMAS** (00:52:56:17 - 00:53:09:02): It took those days to get there mentally. I was there physically and it was amazing the whole time. But like at then I sunk deeper and deeper and on the third day I was in a just state I've never been in my whole life. **CHIP** (00:53:09:04 - 00:53:13:22): And then you woke up on the fifth day with no kidney, is that right? Yes, yes. **THOMAS** (00:53:13:22 - 00:53:15:14): I was a tourist. **CHIP** (00:53:15:16 - 00:53:17:18): Speaking of being buried in ice. **THOMAS** (00:53:17:19 - 00:53:23:09): Yeah. You were. Oh, do you think that was. Do you think he really got a world record or was he just harvested? **CHIP** (00:53:23:11 - 00:53:26:19): I think he may have been harvested. The Swiss, they they do things differently over there. **THOMAS** (00:53:27:00 - 00:53:31:07): Yeah. I mean, their cheese has holes in it. Why wouldn't. **CHIP** (00:53:31:13 - 00:53:32:04): Why wouldn't. **THOMAS** (00:53:32:08 - 00:53:46:00): There be a little incision right by your kidney after you do some nice stuff? Yeah. But, to your point, the since I've gone back, like, I've kind of, it's just gets quicker and quicker every time that I get into that state. I think. **CHIP** (00:53:46:06 - 00:53:50:06): Yeah. So that's kind of nice. See, you're locking in, I like it, you. **THOMAS** (00:53:50:06 - 00:54:13:21): Can chill out, but I think the quickest way to get there is just dedicating, time to doing nothing to just being there. Yeah. It's like you're staying in a nice place. You're just hanging out at the beach. You're having some nice meal. You're not thinking about it. You're just staying at the hotel or whatever, or, you know, doing little walking things, just having an empty schedule for a little bit there and you can zoom in. So maybe we need to do that. Maybe we need to get there a day earlier than we were even planning on. Yeah. And just hang out with the fans. Right there on the beach with the burnt ones that show up early. **CHIP** (00:54:25:23 - 00:54:27:00): Yep. Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:54:27:01 - 00:54:32:21): Just just just, relax. Just to relax off, dude. Just a chilling out. **CHIP** (00:54:32:23 - 00:54:36:08): Just a hard core, head to head, relax often. **THOMAS** (00:54:36:09 - 00:54:38:06): That's what I'm talking about. **CHIP** (00:54:38:07 - 00:54:41:16): I'm in, I'm in. Who could be the most relaxed? Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:54:41:17 - 00:54:43:14): Yeah, I get there together. **CHIP** (00:54:43:16 - 00:54:45:02): I like it, I love it. **THOMAS** (00:54:45:03 - 00:54:50:18): And you aren't some of the, some of the records are like seven teams, right? **CHIP** (00:54:50:20 - 00:54:54:03): Yeah. Of course. So we could be like, tandem. **THOMAS** (00:54:54:06 - 00:55:04:12): Tandem. Relax, relax. It's not even a contest together. We're trying to lower the heart rates, lower the blood pressure, lower the anxiety for the group. **CHIP** (00:55:04:14 - 00:55:06:17): While riding a tandem bicycle. **THOMAS** (00:55:06:19 - 00:55:24:13): Yes. Yeah, yeah. And hopefully if we if we put our money where our mouth is and get, you know, use this as motivation to get as fit as we've said we are, then we can be the skinniest non twins. **CHIP** (00:55:24:16 - 00:55:25:07): Yes. **THOMAS** (00:55:25:12 - 00:55:28:04): To ever run a minor motorcycle and a motorcycle mate. **CHIP** (00:55:28:04 - 00:55:35:13): Yeah we go the opposite from the two big guys. Yeah it's like the before and after pictures. I'm into that. I'm, I'm 100. **THOMAS** (00:55:35:15 - 00:55:46:19): This is, this is, completely off topic, but, there is a very morbid lane of YouTube. Okay. That is just looking at grave sites. **CHIP** (00:55:46:21 - 00:55:50:05): Wait, either you've showed me this. **THOMAS** (00:55:50:06 - 00:55:52:18): I've showed you this before. I sent you this. **CHIP** (00:55:52:20 - 00:55:55:09): And it was the go ahead. I think I know what you're talking about. **THOMAS** (00:55:55:09 - 00:56:00:07): Yeah, this this guy, this guy, tons of views, very successful channel. **CHIP** (00:56:00:09 - 00:56:01:15): No punting and. Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:56:01:17 - 00:56:24:21): Yeah, he goes, he goes to look at, the grave sites, celebrities or people of interest and one episode or video or whatever you want to call it. He went to the, you know, final resting place of the world's largest wins that road motorcycles and the Guinness Guinness Book of Records. **CHIP** (00:56:24:23 - 00:56:34:07): I'm going to say that guy's kind of a burnt one. He's like, that is his. That's his beach on Waikiki. **THOMAS** (00:56:34:09 - 00:56:35:16): Oh, completely. **CHIP** (00:56:35:16 - 00:56:40:16): Like he's just is just a graveyard in North Carolina or wherever it might be. **THOMAS** (00:56:40:18 - 00:56:46:14): Yeah. Now he's following his passion. I think that's something where we're all about is like living a life. You're excited about. **CHIP** (00:56:46:19 - 00:56:48:22): Doing his thing, documenting it? Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:56:49:00 - 00:57:10:19): Documenting it and having pretty good success doing this thing. And it's like, you know, they made zero effort to make it look like, you know, he had professional experience or whatever. It's just like raw. I'm out here, I'm doing it. And people are finding it morbidly fascinating, myself included. Like, it's pretty tough to get my attention from anything. And I think I locked in on that whole video. And then I had to send it to my buddy. Yep, yep. **CHIP** (00:57:15:16 - 00:57:18:04): And I locked in on the whole video to. Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:57:18:06 - 00:57:30:02): Yeah, I wonder, like, I got there. This is interesting. I'm glad we're back in the world record land. I haven't thought about a world record in a while, I think. **CHIP** (00:57:30:03 - 00:57:36:00): I think we could come up with something between now and November that we can set a record for. **THOMAS** (00:57:36:02 - 00:57:37:13): Yeah. If you have any ideas. **CHIP** (00:57:37:16 - 00:57:38:21): Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:57:38:23 - 00:57:44:21): Drop them in the comments. What world record could we set before or in Waikiki? **CHIP** (00:57:44:23 - 00:57:50:02): Yeah. Yeah, I like it. I, I I'm ready. I'm ready to do this. **THOMAS** (00:57:50:04 - 00:57:58:19): I'm also I'm ready to do it, but I'm also. Very committed to not putting in a ton of effort. **CHIP** (00:57:58:21 - 00:58:01:11): Right. What's the easiest world record we can do that. **THOMAS** (00:58:01:12 - 00:58:04:08): I think that's it. What's the easiest world record we can do? **CHIP** (00:58:04:10 - 00:58:09:10): Yeah, yeah. That's it. **THOMAS** (00:58:09:12 - 00:58:10:12): We'll keep thinking. **CHIP** (00:58:10:14 - 00:58:11:08): Yeah. **THOMAS** (00:58:11:10 - 00:58:15:09): We'll keep thinking, buddy. All right, so shifting gears. **CHIP** (00:58:15:14 - 00:58:19:06): Yet, do we do we have time to do this last one? And do we want to save it for next week or. **THOMAS** (00:58:19:07 - 00:58:21:05): You know what? Let's let's save it for next week. **CHIP** (00:58:21:05 - 00:58:33:18): I think this is a nice cliffhanger. Of what shirt do you want to wear or maybe not wear? That's. That might get you in the most trouble on a cruise. **THOMAS** (00:58:33:20 - 00:58:39:19): Yeah. What? What shirt could you wear that's just gonna get you in a little bit of trouble? **CHIP** (00:58:39:21 - 00:58:42:12): Yep.
