Did you feel like a New Yorker or were you always an outsider? **Thomas** (00:01:23:09 - 00:01:29:18): I definitely felt like a Murray Hill person. They were all just like interns running around and throwing up in the street. Sure. **Chip** (00:01:29:21 - 00:01:44:17): Yeah. Of course, of course. Yeah. But we're going to we're going to get we're going to get real civilized this, this this week, going to see goose, the band. You're coming with me. Yeah. And, I'm I'm psyched. I'm psyched to see, just two fellas in the city romping around. **Thomas** (00:01:44:22 - 00:01:57:18): Yeah, I don't know, it'll be fun. Like, And also, it's just. I haven't been to. I was telling you to stay there. I haven't been to a concert, with the boys. In a decade, dude, in a decade, I think. **Chip** (00:01:57:18 - 00:02:01:16): Like, last one. What do you. What do you think it might have been? Last one? Like one of the most recent. **Thomas** (00:02:01:22 - 00:02:05:10): For the last one that I went with, without without my wife. **Chip** (00:02:05:10 - 00:02:06:23): Spice girls reunion. **Thomas** (00:02:07:01 - 00:02:11:03): Oh, I wish, girls, I wish I couldn't, I couldn't get out to the UK. **Chip** (00:02:11:03 - 00:02:11:21): Alicia Keys. **Thomas** (00:02:11:21 - 00:02:16:15): Did you know that I was a huge Spice Girls fan in high school? Or, like, I guess, junior high? **Chip** (00:02:16:15 - 00:02:18:12): No, I did not know that. I just I picked. **Thomas** (00:02:18:12 - 00:02:39:09): It, me and me and my buddy. Yeah, I, I do not know how it happened, but it was just like, I don't know, it was like it was before or like romantic feelings. It was before, like, oh, these girls are hot. It was just like, I don't I have no idea how it happened. Chip is me and my buddy we just got he was into it, played the music for me. I got into it, one of my first show in a, like, basketball arena was the Spice Girls. We made my buddy's mom drive us all the way up to Portland. It's like a six hour drive to go see them where they, the Blazers play. No, where? **Chip** (00:02:55:23 - 00:03:00:22): Yeah. And what was the mom's feeling about this? Like, hey, shouldn't you guys be in a metallica or something like that? **Thomas** (00:03:00:22 - 00:03:07:09): Moms are generally pretty supportive. Yeah, she wanted to go to Portland shop anyways and had a place to drop us off for a while. **Chip** (00:03:07:10 - 00:03:17:21): Get rid of the husband for a little bit. Yeah. If you. Hey. And it's it's the whole vibe of the Spice Girls. If you want to be a Spice Girls fan, you just got to get with your friend. That's all you got to do. **Thomas** (00:03:17:22 - 00:03:24:05): There was a wardrobe malfunction chip before they were even popular. **Chip** (00:03:24:07 - 00:03:24:23): Okay. And I do. **Thomas** (00:03:24:23 - 00:03:31:02): Believe the first nipple I ever saw in real life was scary. Scary spice, I got it. Yeah. **Chip** (00:03:31:04 - 00:03:34:01): Wow. Yeah. Scary. Seems like the one that would. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:03:34:01 - 00:03:40:14): Have you seen that mentalist guy that's going around to all the comedy podcast? Like, I think he did Rogan and he did, like, flagrant. **Chip** (00:03:40:16 - 00:03:42:04): Does he have a bunch of nip slips? **Thomas** (00:03:42:04 - 00:03:55:20): He's very nip slip centric in his act, but, I think I think I think you just outdid anything I've ever seen that guy do. Yeah. I mean, just scary spicy. Scary spicy. There's what? That's why I even said that. Probability. **Chip** (00:03:55:22 - 00:04:11:18): I even said Spice Girls to, like, know and you. And then you reveal, this early on in episode 19 that you just drop on my lap, that you're a spy. You were Spice Girls fan, and just. You just lay it out there. **Thomas** (00:04:11:18 - 00:04:12:13): I was in it. **Chip** (00:04:12:14 - 00:04:27:02): That is a lot to take in. Early on in an episode. I have to now I have to think about every other topic I want to talk about, but think about pre-pubescent Thomas O'Brien really getting into Wannabe and Spice World. **Thomas** (00:04:27:02 - 00:04:32:10): Yeah. And I think this is a really big reveal because like, clearly I'm in junior high. **Chip** (00:04:32:12 - 00:04:33:00): I'm shocked. **Thomas** (00:04:33:00 - 00:04:37:05): Thomas, a junior high boy, I wasn't telling anybody. We were closeted Spice Girl fans. **Chip** (00:04:37:05 - 00:04:40:13): Really? Okay, so this wasn't like sweeping your school or anything like that. **Thomas** (00:04:40:13 - 00:04:48:06): No no no no no no. It was just like, you know, he he went and printed a bunch of pictures. They were all over his room. **Chip** (00:04:48:06 - 00:04:50:10): Okay. So I can see I get that, I get that, yeah. **Thomas** (00:04:50:10 - 00:05:05:06): And they were on TRL a lot, you know, we could watch the music videos. They had a movie out, I think, and it was like a really silly comedy. And we'd watch that a bunch. And then, yeah, we ended up going to see him and yeah, I mean, it would have been death. It was like we were both on the football team. **Chip** (00:05:05:08 - 00:05:12:16): Thomas, bring it in right now. Just don't even think. Just say it. Don't even think. Just say it. Favorite Spice girl go posh. Oh, wow. **Thomas** (00:05:12:20 - 00:05:13:22): Victoria Beckham, it's. **Chip** (00:05:14:02 - 00:05:16:09): Victoria fancy pants up there. Yeah. In Oregon. **Thomas** (00:05:16:10 - 00:05:18:02): Very appealing lady in a lot of regards. **Chip** (00:05:18:08 - 00:05:26:22): I mean she's got she's got it. She's got it all and we've got it all. In episode 19 I got, I got I got something for you. Thomas. Yeah. Are you ready to do this? **Thomas** (00:05:26:23 - 00:05:28:17): Oh my gosh. Yeah. Dude, this is. **Chip** (00:05:28:17 - 00:05:30:14): You feeling like a burnt one today? Feeling like one. **Thomas** (00:05:30:14 - 00:05:33:13): I'm feeling like one. **Chip** (00:05:33:15 - 00:05:50:18): I slather this on yesterday. I had to go out for a little bit, and then it just. Again, it's just the vibe I wore my, I wore my Hawaiian shirt out yesterday to a podcast, and just. I think I just brought joy to the room, and, like, it wasn't even like, it's. Here's the thing that I worry about. I do have a worry. Yeah, that we're talking about wearing these all white. It's not silly. It's not wacky. This is not like 1980s morning radio. You know, traveling stand up comedian with a guitar. Yeah. Get goofy, you know, with a whatever. With the giant sunglasses. This is just a vibe. It's just a it's a low key. I'm just having a good time here. It's it's Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski. It's that dude. More than you know. Gallagher. You do what I'm saying. That's the vibe that I get. I don't know about you. **Thomas** (00:06:29:16 - 00:06:34:11): If somebody accused us of going for Gallagher, I'd smash him in the head with a mallet. Chip. **Chip** (00:06:34:13 - 00:06:39:10): See, Thomas, I think that would not be arguing the point that you think it is. No. **Thomas** (00:06:39:11 - 00:06:48:13): I had really rough him up a couple of right backs, get him in a rear naked choke and just watch the life drain out. **Chip** (00:06:48:15 - 00:06:51:10): Right. Okay. That. There it is. I think that I think that's what you got to do. **Thomas** (00:06:51:11 - 00:06:52:20): Where did you come across that one? **Chip** (00:06:52:20 - 00:06:58:14): Chip? This is a found one. I honestly don't know. I don't know where it came from. It just like, oh. **Thomas** (00:06:58:14 - 00:06:59:12): Wait a second, wait a. **Chip** (00:06:59:12 - 00:07:01:04): Second. Showed up in my closet. Yeah, I. **Thomas** (00:07:01:04 - 00:07:08:10): Think I think I remember you discovering this like, many, many years ago before we were talking about this. Wasn't it part of a sketch or something back in the day? **Chip** (00:07:08:10 - 00:07:18:17): I think. Yeah, it was. I used to do a character, called Bing Supernova, and it was just in a bag, a duffel bag of, like, his old outfits. And this was in there. **Thomas** (00:07:18:17 - 00:07:25:01): Bing was on last Comic standing. He was this shirt. Has this shirt been on? What was the NBC. **Chip** (00:07:25:03 - 00:07:45:04): NBC's last comic standing? No. This shirt was it he. It very rarely did this shirt pop out for Bing. I think it was maybe probably like maybe like one instance. Okay. And there is a, there's a there is an outside chance that this was in one way or another stolen from Johnny good time. So honestly, he would make me do Bing sometimes for like his quiz balls and stuff like that. So there is an outside chance that this was originally his shirt, man. Yeah, but it's it's set in a duffel bag for half a decade, and then it just emerged about a year ago. **Thomas** (00:07:53:18 - 00:07:55:05): And then it looks great. **Chip** (00:07:55:05 - 00:07:56:01): Look at me. **Thomas** (00:07:56:01 - 00:08:12:10): Yeah, yeah, it looks great. I also like, breaking news here on the podcast. We'll see. But I've got a I've got a couple of Hawaiian shirts right now. Yep. Yeah. Being, hand-sewn. **Chip** (00:08:12:11 - 00:08:13:19): Nice. **Thomas** (00:08:13:21 - 00:08:24:09): Hand-sewn. So, pulled the trigger, made an order. Very excited about it. Got to pick out the fabric. With, the prints I liked. **Chip** (00:08:24:10 - 00:08:27:02): Are you going to disclose or are we going to let it be a surprise? **Thomas** (00:08:27:02 - 00:08:33:13): Disclose what's on him? No, no, no, I'll, I'll. I think you got to see the visuals. Me describing the shirt I hope will show up. **Chip** (00:08:33:13 - 00:08:34:17): We'll be going to do it. Yes. **Thomas** (00:08:34:19 - 00:08:57:21): But, I didn't even know it was an option. It is an option. We're having fine art crafting these shirts up, and, Yeah, it. I'm I'm I'm fired up. So it's that level, like the premium level. Yeah. And then you've also got the thrift store level, you know, some gently use, like this bad boy right here. I got at, like, a second hand shop on the Big Island, baby. **Chip** (00:09:04:15 - 00:09:05:04): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:09:05:06 - 00:09:05:15): We're just. **Chip** (00:09:05:15 - 00:09:10:21): Having the. Oh, so Hawaiian thrift, which is like, that's that's where it's at. **Thomas** (00:09:10:21 - 00:09:30:14): Yeah. And it's like, they know it, too. So it wasn't like a steal of a deal. Like they're like, this is like a vintage thing, but, Yeah. Yeah, it was just one just sang out to me. My wife at the same place got the the best aloha shirt I've ever seen. She, like, so cool. It's like one of those things that actually fits really well. It looks like, you know, you could have bought it in a high end store today, but it's like, obviously vintage fits or perfect. And then this, this was the counterpart on the, the men's side of the store. And, it just really hung out above all the other options. Chip. **Chip** (00:09:46:01 - 00:09:54:11): I believe and I don't want to get this wrong, but, I believe according to dove, he said, a good place to find them. You get them, Ross, dress for less. **Thomas** (00:09:54:11 - 00:09:55:02): Oh, I bet. **Chip** (00:09:55:06 - 00:10:06:17): You get some in there. So I I'm there's one, not too far from us. It's that's literally not a blow up or spot, but that is literally my wife's favorite store to shop at, because that's who she is. She she loves a good deal. **Thomas** (00:10:06:17 - 00:10:09:17): And she loved David Schwimmer and friends. **Chip** (00:10:09:19 - 00:10:30:02): Yes. I wanted to go to Rachel's dress for last, but she. She decided not. Yeah, I want to open. I think I'm going to open up. I would love to open up someday. A, like, discount gentleman's club. Okay. And call it Ross Ross's undress. Phyllis. **Thomas** (00:10:30:04 - 00:10:31:22): I like it. **Chip** (00:10:32:00 - 00:10:33:00): Right. **Thomas** (00:10:33:02 - 00:10:52:02): I like it, well, what's, what makes it discount? Like hat? Because Ross dress for less takes items that were unsellable in better department stores. So what is Ross's, dress for less? **Chip** (00:10:52:04 - 00:11:06:17): I mean, not to not to pull the curtain back from comedy, but I think you just have to keep going with that metaphor, and you got it, Thomas. I think that's all it is. I think it's I think we have our business plan, our business models done. Any investors? Oh, Ross is undressed for this. **Thomas** (00:11:06:17 - 00:11:10:05): Yeah. All right. Trademark. Yep. Yeah. TM. Yeah. Yes. **Chip** (00:11:10:08 - 00:11:19:07): Right. Yeah. Should we get into this, buddy? This is like, we're, like, in through. And, should we get in this app? **Thomas** (00:11:19:07 - 00:11:43:16): Yeah. Zoom in through, like to today we're going to be talking about, concert etiquette. We've got the, we've got the mystery shirt story from yesterday or from last week that we didn't have a time to cover. And then, we're going to be talking about prepping for flights because I'm getting ready to travel. You're traveling? We're all traveling to Hawaii, this November. And then, yeah, if we have time, we're going to we're going to do a little, joke work, work on crafting some jokey jokes. **Chip** (00:11:50:18 - 00:11:52:21): So we get those in, **Thomas** (00:11:52:23 - 00:12:00:12): Separate podcast. We're talking about tropical travel and comedy. If you're into that stuff, stay tuned. Francesc. **Chip** (00:12:00:12 - 00:12:04:18): Hi, this is Mr. Chandler in room 316. I'd like to order some room service for me and some friends. **Thomas** (00:12:04:22 - 00:12:07:16): I can help you out with that. Mr. Chantry, what would you like? **Chip** (00:12:07:18 - 00:12:15:00): Let's start out to have shrimp cocktail. We do. Let's start out with shrimp cocktail. And what do racoons like to eat? **Thomas** (00:12:15:02 - 00:12:28:23): I'm reading you loud and clear. We'll send up two shrimp cocktails. Chip. Episode 19, The Sunburnt Podcast. We are 153 days away from Chip Chantry Thanksgiving in Paradise. **Chip** (00:12:29:00 - 00:12:47:19): Get your tickets now! Blue Note Jazz Club, Waikiki. The night before Thanksgiving, I'm going to be doing a new hour. Come out and see. It's not just for that, but come out. We're bringing a bunch of people out to Hawaii, just to have some fun two year end celebration to give thanks, to, just have some fun. Bring it out 2025. Right. And, you know, come with us. Thanksgiving week, Hawaii, the sunburn podcast. **Thomas** (00:12:55:10 - 00:13:07:20): You know, we're just trying to have something fun to look forward to. There's a lot of craziness going on in the world, and we're choosing a positive thing that we can just look forward to every day. It's chips and trees, Thanksgiving and Paradise. **Chip** (00:13:07:22 - 00:13:17:04): I did want to comment on what's going on in the world right now. Like, and I just want to get your take on it. Would you say that things in the world right now are wacky? **Thomas** (00:13:17:09 - 00:13:19:05): I would say they're wacky to back. **Chip** (00:13:19:05 - 00:13:22:22): Yeah, I would say they are, crazy zany. **Thomas** (00:13:23:00 - 00:13:25:20): There's world class shenanigans, global shenanigans. **Chip** (00:13:25:22 - 00:13:31:02): Yeah. Worldwide ballyhoo. And, that is our, that's our take on current events. **Thomas** (00:13:31:02 - 00:13:33:17): Ladies, gentlemen. Yeah, that's our take. We we literally we're. **Chip** (00:13:33:17 - 00:13:34:15): Getting into the issues. **Thomas** (00:13:34:15 - 00:13:51:02): Hawaiian print shutters over our eyes. And we're doing this podcast because we just want to soak in the good vibes. We want to smell the Hawaiian Tropic. We want to take a vacation in our mind, focus on comedy, the thing we love, and, spend some time with you fine folks. **Chip** (00:13:51:02 - 00:14:03:12): So I think if you are listening to this podcast, that's great. Just close your eyes and listen. If you're watching us on YouTube, I think the way you should watch it, kind of like you said with the blinders, is to get some Hawaiian shirt fabric. **Thomas** (00:14:03:13 - 00:14:04:12): Yep. **Chip** (00:14:04:14 - 00:14:18:21): Drape it over your computer and then put it over your head like an old timey photographer. Yeah. And then you should just sit there with that, like a little tent, a little, little sunburnt tent right there. And, that's how you should watch the black cast. **Thomas** (00:14:19:00 - 00:14:40:15): Yeah. If you choose to make, you know, just, wanting to be in the islands nonstop, thinking about tropical locations if you choose to make that your spiritual home, that endeavor. I think this is a real nice tenant. I think that it feels like a ceremony that works along with that kind of lifestyle. **Chip** (00:14:40:17 - 00:14:55:09): If you are on a bus or a subway, commuting to work, I you just get some Hawaiian material, drape it over yourself, and just laugh loudly to yourself under that drape and you won't be bothering anybody else. **Thomas** (00:14:55:14 - 00:15:16:02): You worry about that. As a matter of fact, they'll think you're a Hawaiian ghost. Alum also. Also, the only other thing we ask if you want to join this religion we're making up right now is that if you are going to have intercourse, please do it. Through a hole in a vintage Hawaiian shirt and. **Chip** (00:15:16:02 - 00:15:24:21): A vintage Hawaiian shirt. Those are the that's the first tenet of our religion of sunburn. And we'll we'll talk a little bit more about that in, coming episodes. **Thomas** (00:15:24:23 - 00:15:29:05): Does it prevent ideas? Does it prevent unwanted pregnancies? **Chip** (00:15:29:07 - 00:15:31:06): No, just. **Thomas** (00:15:31:08 - 00:15:37:07): It has no benefit except you get to, you know, kind of think about us a little bit while you're getting busy. **Chip** (00:15:37:08 - 00:15:58:20): Exactly. Because that's exactly what you think about your two favorite podcast, boys, as you're, as you're making sweet love. Have you ever been in that situation, Thomas, where you were just, like, causing a ruckus on a like. I'll give you an example. This is and I. Because you don't want to be that guy who is playing, like, his phone loudly. Yeah, whatever. And I think we've talked about this, like, just like on a bus or on subway where I took a bus. Actually, honestly, might be the last time. This is crazy. It's been a long time. So I'm so close to New York City. I've not been in New York City since before the pandemic. I'm pretty sure the last time I was up in New York was I was visiting our buddy Nick. Nick was yeah, it was up there and we got to Nick French Festival. They were working on a on a project, on a TV project, and he was like, let's get together, have some lunch and we'll throw some ideas together, whatever. So we did that and I got to hang out, hang out with him for the day, and I forget what we did. Some other fun stuff. Oh, we went to like this, this, like, board game shop, of course. And like, just like a bunch of cool stuff we're walking over to see. And as we're having dinner, he was telling me about this new show on Netflix called The Characters. **Thomas** (00:16:46:15 - 00:16:47:21): Oh yeah. **Chip** (00:16:47:23 - 00:17:01:12): And it's like, oh, it's like all these like, comedy people, you know, the sketch people, they gave them each like a half hour to do whatever they want with it, to do comedy sketches. He's like, you have to watch this guy Tim Robinson and never heard of the guy before. And I was like, all right, Tim Robinson got it. Sounds like Tim Robbins Shawshank Redemption, but Tim Robinson got it. Don't know who this guy is. And I get on the the Megabus or the bus on the way on the drive home to Philadelphia that night. It's dark out. It's like 10 p.m. it's quiet, it's quiet. But and of course, I got my headphones at me and my earbuds in and I just pull out my phone and I am watching Tim Robinson's episode of the characters, and I am okay cackling laugh. And on this very quiet bus, just let and I can't, I can't help it. But like but I could. But I was also so obsessed I couldn't stop watching it. Well, and we've. **Thomas** (00:17:38:03 - 00:17:43:14): Talked about this like, that has the Pointer Brothers on it, right? That's where the Pointer Brothers from. **Chip** (00:17:43:16 - 00:17:46:21): One day that might have been the hardest laughed. Yeah, but. **Thomas** (00:17:47:03 - 00:17:50:00): It just keeps going. What else was on there that spoke to you about it? **Chip** (00:17:50:01 - 00:18:12:05): You remember the one right before? It is maybe my favorite sketch of all time. It's the one where they're he's Morley and he's in the he's like the sad guy who works in the limousine office. And it's like, his name is Rah Raj. I think King of the slams is this other dude you would recognize in other stuff, and it's like, he's just this jerk at the office and there's these, these other, like, kind of laughing guys, and he's like. And he's like, this guy's just a jerk. And he's like, making fun of everybody. But like, they love it. Made fun of him. And he's just like, he was just like, hey. He's like, hey, Raj, you think I can, fit this? He takes out a donut and he goes, hey, Raj, you think I can fit this whole thing in his mouth? Because that's what your mother said to me last night, and they're like, oh. And he's like, wait just a minute. You spoke to my mother last night. He's like, yeah. He's like, oh, God. He picks up the phone. He's like, dad, it's yeah, I got good news. I got bad news. Good news, mom still alive. That's the news. She's bang and Raj kick slaps. **Thomas** (00:18:46:18 - 00:18:47:02): Yeah. **Chip** (00:18:47:02 - 00:18:56:02): And it just it and it goes on from there. So it's like that one. And then it's the, the Mr. Luck, the one where he's kind of like the Dean Martin. **Thomas** (00:18:56:04 - 00:18:57:20): Oh, yes. Rat Pack. **Chip** (00:18:57:20 - 00:19:17:19): Guy. And he loses all his money. And then the one with the, the 80s wrestling guy, the the, Yeah. Where he's just the loser. He keeps losing and the. I think it's the one where he sings the song about his baby daughter. I think you can relate to this. Yeah. And he, like, puts his baby daughter down for a nap, and he starts singing this beautiful song about her growing up. Kind of like a cat's cradle kind of thing, but like his baby daughter. And you're going to grow up with butterfly kisses. Kind of like this thing and dance at your wedding. And then the man that you're going to meet is this guy, and he's he's going to marry you, going to take care of you. And then the song just becomes about that guy and about how, like, he's basically obsessed with the guy and he's like, right. Yeah. It's. Yeah. And then I think the last one is the famous, gun shop episode where he wants to buy a gun. He's like, just for security. And it's just like, it's basically just, he's. I don't want to give it away, but it's. Yeah, it's. **Thomas** (00:19:50:09 - 00:19:59:14): Anyways, this is, chips. Big rack for the wig is if you haven't seen Tim Robinson's the characters in Netflix and you already have Netflix, go give it a pat. **Chip** (00:19:59:16 - 00:20:01:22): Give it, look, see. **Thomas** (00:20:02:00 - 00:20:25:07): You'll see where, I think you should leave was clearly just stating, leading up to it, but, Chip, we, I would be remiss if we didn't jump into it. Everybody is on the edge of their seats. You've all been waiting since last week when we teased the the most disruptive shirt that's ever been worn on a cruise ship. **Chip** (00:20:25:07 - 00:20:44:05): Ship bated breath. All right, here we go. So there is a guy he apparently is an influencer. His name is Ricky Bobby. All right, so we got that. Let's get that out of the way. Right. And he was apparently he and his, lady friend, wife, somebody. They were on a carnival cruise ship, and he was, he was. He feels like maybe he's a burnt one. He's on the cruise. He's wearing some, Hawaiian garbs and a lot of ladies are coming up to him and being very flirty, like, very forward, just kind of grabbing his hand. Just. It is like wife is right there or, you know, lady friend right there. And, I think the story is he was then and he doesn't know why. He's like, why is this happening on this cruise? It's like a swingers cruise. I'm like that. Apparently it's not, but he apparently went to a the comedy show on the cruise, and he I guess he was like sitting up towards the front. And the comedian started making fun of his shirt and was like, oh, you guys are swingers, You're here for a good time. And he's like, no. And he's like, why are you wearing the pineapple shirt? He was wearing pineapples on his Hawaiian shirt. And apparently that is code for. **Thomas** (00:21:39:12 - 00:21:41:11): Being part of the lifestyle. **Chip** (00:21:41:12 - 00:22:00:16): Being part of the lifestyle. And I think, by the way, that does go back because it's like, I know that pineapples are like it's like a sign of welcome or whatever, but I think like, an upside down pineapple is like it's a I could be wrong about this, but it's almost like the sailors are coming home and it's like, here's where they should come for a, like a for a good time kind of oh, okay. I mean like that's the that's the thing. So I think that's maybe where that started. **Thomas** (00:22:03:22 - 00:22:05:04): Oh that makes sense. **Chip** (00:22:05:06 - 00:22:26:05): Yeah. And so now the pineapple is like and I guess like some couples on cruise ships will like put a picture of like an upside down pineapple maybe like on their their cabin door to like let people know like, hey guys, we're having fun in here. What like that kind of situation. So it's like the it's the, the opposite of hanging a tie on the doorknob. You know, it's like, yeah, if this cabin's rocking, come on. It. **Thomas** (00:22:29:18 - 00:22:50:19): Yeah, I've, I've heard that before. Like I think, also if there's like, pineapple. Not on a cruise ship, but in your yard if there's, like a pineapple statue or if you have a party and, like, you're walking in the door and there's pineapple decorations around. I think that's also code for, if you know. Oh, you know, this is what this party's all about. **Chip** (00:22:51:00 - 00:22:52:20): What if you just like pineapples, though? **Thomas** (00:22:52:20 - 00:22:54:11): Thomas, that's my. That's the problem. **Chip** (00:22:54:13 - 00:22:55:22): I just I just enjoy pineapple. **Thomas** (00:22:55:22 - 00:23:01:08): There's a lot of innocent pineapple enthusiasts that just enjoy nature. Sweet treat. **Chip** (00:23:01:10 - 00:23:17:21): I would put that if I was. If I was in the dating market and I was on the apps, I think. How how did you say it? Innocent pineapple enthusiast. Yes, that would be. That'd be right. Under my profile. I ship my age innocent pineapple enthusiast. **Thomas** (00:23:17:21 - 00:23:39:17): I also, I mean, there's a lot to love about a pineapple. It tastes great. It was my daughter's favorite food for, like, months and months. She would just put it in this little this little, thing that had some holes, and she could nom on it and suck out the juice. She would go actually nuts. Right? And I will say, like, for my money, the only fruit that has a fun haircut. **Chip** (00:23:39:19 - 00:23:55:07): Got a great haircut, and it's got fun skin to it. It's got a scary exterior. Yeah. It's there's so much going on with pineapples. I will say this. I am a late adopter. I did, for whatever reason, I was a I had an aversion to them when I was a kid. I wanted to like them, but I didn't. They might be my favorite fruit now. Wow. It might be. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:23:59:01 - 00:24:00:02): That's big. That's a big. **Chip** (00:24:00:02 - 00:24:25:14): Praise of a good pineapple. Yeah it is. It's high praise and it's deserving praise. It's I, I did a joke about this a few times, but I think it's totally true. If I can get a little serious. Yeah. Right now that it's it's, you know, it's never judge a book by its cover that, a pineapple. It's kind of ugly on the outside and grizzled and ugly and. Yeah, you know, kind of very sort of disgusting on the outside. But then if you take a knife and you cut into it, it's just beautiful and just sweet and beautiful and innocent, like you said. And just he cut into it with a knife and just because so it's like ugly on the outside. Just sweet and beautiful on the inside. And the exact opposite can be said about children. If you take a knife to them, just gross on the inside. All gross on the inside. **Thomas** (00:24:53:10 - 00:24:55:03): Yeah, that's that's gruesome. Chip, I. **Chip** (00:24:55:03 - 00:25:17:00): Will say, that I don't know if this pineapple thing is, like. I think it might be a regional thing. It might only be maybe like, a Hawaiian West Coast or a cruise thing, because I think it like like on the East Coast. I think it means something different because, like, I have a pineapple shirt and, like, I'll wear it out a lot. And every time that does, a lot of women come up to me just like randomly. And they're like, I think of you as a brother. **Thomas** (00:25:26:01 - 00:25:41:10): Oh. Yeah, I mean, that that kind of tracks that maybe it might be the same thing. Chep like the guy wearing the shirt is the ask. It's like, hey, do you want to blah blah blah and they're just letting you down gently. No no no. Okay. Well then riddle me this. Chip. What? **Chip** (00:25:41:10 - 00:25:45:09): It's if it if people. **Thomas** (00:25:45:11 - 00:25:56:19): You know, on cruise ships in the West Coast and Hawaii are putting pineapples on there, what's new Jersey putting on their decor to let you know they're they're down to clown. **Chip** (00:25:56:21 - 00:25:58:15): Just a Bon Jovi t shirt. **Thomas** (00:25:58:17 - 00:26:03:05): No. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. That means you're ready to get after it. **Chip** (00:26:03:07 - 00:26:16:10): Yeah, I think I think a Bon Jovi t shirt would do that. Just any any cheesesteak shop, you know, logo would be good. It's like he's down. He's ready to get. Let's do this. **Thomas** (00:26:16:12 - 00:26:39:17): I love it. Well, I think there's one key difference between me and Ricky. Bobby. Aside from the followers and the success on social media, cause I've never gone into a situation where I didn't assume everybody in a place was trying to bone me and my wife as a couple. And. **Chip** (00:26:39:19 - 00:26:40:21): Wait, you see that? **Thomas** (00:26:40:22 - 00:27:01:03): I always assume everybody's trying to sleep with us. Job interests. All right. It's that it's my baseline, and I let my wife know, okay. I'm directing. I'm like, listen, there's going to be a lot of people in here. They're all going to want to have, some kind of, you know, a relations with us as a couple and like. Yes, you know, I just want to reaffirm right now so we know how to handle we get in there that that's not our thing. That's not who we are. We're not, you know, inviting that level, you know, new, new chaos into our relationship. And she's always like, right. I don't know that anybody is going to be thinking that. I'm like, everybody's going to be thinking that every single person in there is a predator on us. The I can't bring it into this place is off the charts and they're they're all fine and for it. So let's just know what we're walking into so we can politely decline and say, you know what? We just think of you as a friend. **Chip** (00:27:38:20 - 00:28:01:01): It's good to have a plan. Thomas. That's good. Have a plan. And I'm glad that you and your wife have discussed that, because of the numerous times. Yeah. I'm assuming that since you have that vibe now, you're like, this is not going to happen. You put it out there to the room and maybe even just your your body language, your facial expressions, even just your if you believe in vibrations between people. Yeah. That nobody then comes up to you and asks you that because they know. Yeah. It's like they know subconsciously, you know, you shout out, we've. **Thomas** (00:28:09:20 - 00:28:13:04): Done the work. So we never once have been asked, you know. **Chip** (00:28:13:05 - 00:28:19:17): Yeah, that's see that's smart times because otherwise people would just literally just be physically throwing themselves. **Thomas** (00:28:19:17 - 00:28:34:20): Oh I know it. I know like I saw what's going on with Ricky Bobby and I was like, you know what? He just didn't even think this was going to be an issue. He went in there completely unaware that this was coming down the pike. He could have headed all that off if he was just aware. Changed his posture a little bit. And, I think that would really overshadow even the pineapple. I don't know if you realized last week my shirt had a pineapple on it. **Chip** (00:28:44:03 - 00:28:45:01): Right? Oh, wow. **Thomas** (00:28:45:02 - 00:28:50:12): It did last week's podcast and not one person said anything to me all day. **Chip** (00:28:50:14 - 00:28:56:06): See, because you put out the vibe of politely but firmly, I am not interested, you. **Thomas** (00:28:56:06 - 00:28:58:14): Say politely but firmly. **Chip** (00:28:58:16 - 00:29:10:23): You put it firmly. Yeah, maybe politely, but firmly. Yeah. Politely but firmly. You should. Yes it is. This is the vibe that we don't want. And I think that's. I think that's important. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:29:10:23 - 00:29:11:09): Yeah. **Chip** (00:29:11:09 - 00:29:12:22): So whether it's firmly or. **Thomas** (00:29:12:22 - 00:29:19:21): Firmly and just so you know, if any of you meet me and my wife, we've already talked about it, and we're not we're not interested. **Chip** (00:29:19:23 - 00:29:21:14): The answer is no. **Thomas** (00:29:21:16 - 00:29:22:02): No, no. **Chip** (00:29:22:02 - 00:29:23:05): So. **Thomas** (00:29:23:07 - 00:29:45:05): Yeah. But I do. Well, he wore this shirt by mistake. He didn't know the message he was putting out. What other shirts could you wear that could be misconstrued? Like, does anything hit you? Any ideas? Like what with the heightened level of this big. **Chip** (00:29:45:07 - 00:30:05:21): Right. Like, I think it would just be like Hawaiian, kind of like font or something like that. It's like, please, please sleep with me all over, you know, like, just. Oh, okay. Hey. I'm here, you know? Yeah, something like that. I like, I would like, See, that brings up a really good point, Thomas, I. Okay, here we go. I think we design t shirts and they buy the t shirts or, you know, Hawaiian shirts that have specific messages, like, okay, so the pineapple we know that one about. So I think maybe we come up with a line and maybe we're maybe this is already happening. Maybe there are other visitations that mean other that are other signals that we don't know about. Maybe we have to do some research. Yeah, but if not, I think there could be. And they would all be in the Hawaiian aloha shirt design. But, like, what if they were, like, sort of like, flat, like red roses, right? Okay. Or arranged in, like a red octagon with, like a white stripe around it. **Thomas** (00:30:50:07 - 00:30:51:09): **Chip** (00:30:51:11 - 00:31:01:21): And that would just be signal for. Stop talking to me. Just don't talk to me like I'm enjoying my island vibe. Yeah, but I want to do it by myself. Please stop talking. **Thomas** (00:31:01:21 - 00:31:14:16): Yeah, it's the real world or world version of turning the chat off on your Uber. Yeah. Yeah. So that's a subtle message. It's still friendly. It's still nice but it lets people it's festive. **Chip** (00:31:14:16 - 00:31:20:03): Yeah yeah yeah. How about you. Can you think of one. Like what else could we market. **Thomas** (00:31:20:05 - 00:31:21:03): Yeah. So like. **Chip** (00:31:21:03 - 00:31:21:23): Mean something. **Thomas** (00:31:21:23 - 00:31:45:23): If pineapple symbols like you know we're ready to have this group encounter. I think if your shirt featured a bottle of Pine-Sol. Yes. That would indicate that, you know, like, I'm not interested in being part of your group activity, but I will clean up after it. That's kind of like what I'm into. **Chip** (00:31:46:01 - 00:31:59:06): It's the helpful shirt. Yeah, the helpful shirt. And with a sponsorship behind it, you get it's going to be knocked off. You're going to get it for a lot cheaper because the good people Pine-Sol will be hopefully, advertising. **Thomas** (00:31:59:06 - 00:32:04:03): The helpful shirt for after they all squirt Chep. **Chip** (00:32:04:05 - 00:32:10:06): I think I mean, there it is. Why are you not writing slogans? Why are you not on Madison Avenue immediately? **Thomas** (00:32:10:06 - 00:32:14:20): Because I refuse to go with their, yuppie dress code chip. **Chip** (00:32:14:22 - 00:32:16:08): I know they they don't want the flash. **Thomas** (00:32:16:09 - 00:32:21:02): You can't. You can't wear a Hawaiian on the 87th floor, not on Madison Avenue. **Chip** (00:32:21:04 - 00:32:50:18): Yeah. All right, what about this one? A Hawaiian shirt? And again, it's in the Hawaii thing, but they're back. Basketballs, right? Basketballs that are surrounded by brown fur. Okay. Basket rounded by brown fur. And that just means to people see it. Ask me anything about the movie Teen Wolf? I am the leading scholar on the 1985 Michael J. Fox classic Teen Wolf. Please ask me anything about it. I think that I could talk to you. I would like to talk to you about Teen Wolf. It's like. It's like being a swinger. But instead of intercourse, you get the joy of learning inside facts about the 1985 Michael J. Fox film Teen Wolf. **Thomas** (00:33:11:14 - 00:33:19:21): This brings up something. I never got a response from you, but did you see that picture I sent you of Jason Bateman and Michael J. Fox together? **Chip** (00:33:19:23 - 00:33:22:16): Yes. They're wolfing it up, baby. **Thomas** (00:33:22:17 - 00:33:29:10): I was like, back together. It was like when I saw that, it was like, there's only one person in the world like they send this to. It's the leading scholar on the film franchise. **Chip** (00:33:29:11 - 00:33:32:02): Leading scholar of the film franchise, Teen Wolf. **Thomas** (00:33:32:04 - 00:33:35:07): What, two leading men to good gravy, man. **Chip** (00:33:35:09 - 00:33:37:12): What A12 punch right there. One two. **Thomas** (00:33:37:12 - 00:33:55:00): Punch. Okay, what about this? Like any Hawaiian shirt that has money on it, like cash or coins, is a symbol of it. Like, hey, buddy, I'll help you cheat on your taxes and your wife. **Chip** (00:33:55:02 - 00:33:59:06): Two for a twofer. It's a a Bateman in a fox right there. **Thomas** (00:33:59:07 - 00:34:07:09): Bateman in Fox is a CPA who signed an NDA. Not to expose your PDA. **Chip** (00:34:07:11 - 00:34:12:02): There it is. We business cards should be made up immediately. Thomas. That's it. **Thomas** (00:34:12:04 - 00:34:16:21): I think, yeah, I feel like this guy looks like Stavros. **Chip** (00:34:16:23 - 00:34:18:16): Yeah. Oh, 100%. **Thomas** (00:34:18:18 - 00:34:25:15): Just a Hawaiian with some coins, some cash. Chang. Probably a little thin necklace. **Chip** (00:34:25:17 - 00:34:40:18): Yep. Yeah, that's. That's the guy you would go to for either of those things. And now he's giving you. He's giving you both. Yeah. What are this? What about, like, there's, like, chocolate ice cream, like, all over it? **Thomas** (00:34:40:21 - 00:34:43:14): Yeah. Right. **Chip** (00:34:43:16 - 00:34:51:16): And I that would be code for I love chocolate ice cream. And I'm very clumsy. **Thomas** (00:34:51:18 - 00:34:59:01): I think that I think that's a clear, clear message to the rest of the world that that's exactly what you're dealing with. **Chip** (00:34:59:03 - 00:35:12:22): It's just an a regular Hawaiian shirt with the traditional coloring and patterns, but then it's just chocolate ice cream, all that just down the front of it, just down the front. Lots of chocolate ice cream. **Thomas** (00:35:13:00 - 00:35:30:05): Speaking of like, a more literal take on it, what about if your shirt people can look at it and see that it's balled up in the corner of your super nice penthouse on the floor? **Chip** (00:35:30:07 - 00:35:31:02): Yes. **Thomas** (00:35:31:04 - 00:35:35:01): You are an OnlyFans model. **Chip** (00:35:35:02 - 00:35:39:08): That's that's code right there. Like, I'm it's I'm using context clues right now. **Thomas** (00:35:39:09 - 00:35:41:08): It's the t shirt code. **Chip** (00:35:41:10 - 00:35:59:11): Yeah. The the T code I love it I love what if they're among the flowers in the foliage? There were just pictures of 1990s Americans. Singer songwriter Duncan Chic. **Thomas** (00:35:59:13 - 00:36:02:02): Ooh. Are you barely breathing? **Chip** (00:36:02:04 - 00:36:10:00): Yes. You know, that's code for. Oh, no, that's code for. I am a fan of the 1990s singer songwriter Duncan. She. **Thomas** (00:36:10:02 - 00:36:16:04): That's what I'm talking about. I remember buying that album at a used record store. **Chip** (00:36:16:04 - 00:36:39:20): Okay, stop. Okay. Podcast. Come to a halt. You have revealed early on in the episode that you were a huge spider man. As a young man. Now you're dropping I, I owned a at least one Duncan Chic album. Yeah. Tell me all about it. I need to know everything. All I know is that song that I know I am barely breathing. **Thomas** (00:36:39:21 - 00:36:49:22): A great song, I think. Great song, great song. I think that's all I know, but like, this is another thing. Like Chip, I was a guitar guy. **Chip** (00:36:50:00 - 00:36:50:11): Oh, that's. **Thomas** (00:36:50:11 - 00:36:51:12): Right, I was a guitar guy. **Chip** (00:36:51:12 - 00:36:54:21): Is, he is quite, quite the Italian guitar man. **Thomas** (00:36:54:21 - 00:37:13:21): Yeah. But we talked about, like, people who bring their own music to an environment and kind of turn it on. How annoying that is. It is only in hindsight that I realize it is ten times more annoying to bring a guitar to a function and just force everybody to listen to your dog crap. **Chip** (00:37:13:21 - 00:37:40:01): I will say there's one exception to that rule that I that I've seen. Yeah, my my buddy Dave Hobbs, he graduated a year ahead of me in high school. He played TVA in our rendition of Fiddler on the roof, my junior high school, because he just he he looks like as as a 16 year old boy, he looked like TVA, like just big guy and just and has the he's classically trained tenor singer. He's the most talent person I've ever seen. Could you sing anything? But he could also just pick up an acoustic guitar and he would play, like, kind of like folk songs, fun songs. He would make up his own songs that were hilarious. Yeah, but he would do, like Harry Chapin songs and just and everything, right? He knew, and he could just play, and he just sang beautifully, and he would show up to a party with his guitar or like more times so that he would just find a guitar, like somebody had an acoustic guitar at the party. Yeah. Or he might bring it. And what he would do is like, you know, and we weren't like wild. Like the kids that I hang out with, we were not party. We were not like boozing it up, drugging it up. We were just like, we're drinking Mountain Dews and getting crazy, you know? And we were losing the Spice Girls. But we were, you know, we were having our good, very wholesome fun. And he would just take the guitar and he would just go. He would just find a room by himself or like down in the basement. He would just just sit in a room all alone and just quietly play the guitar all by himself. And within 30 minutes, the entire party was jammed into that room. **Thomas** (00:38:43:09 - 00:38:46:08): Oh, that's such a smarter way to do it. **Chip** (00:38:46:10 - 00:39:00:13): And we would, because he's so talented. He would just draw everybody in. And, you know, it could just be kids. Kids are up in the up in the kitchen and in the living room and on the back porch and stuff like that. And he would just go down in the basement and, you know, in the rec room and just like, start quietly playing and singing. And there'd be like two people, like just sitting there watching, and then it'd be four people, and then it'd be nine people, and then it'd be like 40 kids just packed into a basement and he would have his own concert. It was it was incredible. **Thomas** (00:39:10:17 - 00:39:12:22): Does he still play? Do you still know the guy? **Chip** (00:39:12:22 - 00:39:34:09): Yeah. Yeah he does. Yeah. Still, So great. So he like, orchestrates, like he that he's a composer. He he's a conductor. Yeah. He's, he's he's amazing. Yeah. I actually hired him for we not to get into it, but, for this, I work with this, like, teacher, this company we work with teacher stuff, and I actually hired him to come in as a, as an entertainer. He did a bunch of, Christmas songs. One year for Christmas. **Thomas** (00:39:38:05 - 00:39:47:13): That's great. Well, I mean, who knows if we play our cards right? Maybe he's. Maybe he's playing you on to stage after his Thanksgiving in Paradise. **Chip** (00:39:47:18 - 00:39:49:03): In Paradise, this. **Thomas** (00:39:49:03 - 00:39:50:04): This November. **Chip** (00:39:50:04 - 00:39:52:16): The Blue Note jazz club. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:39:52:17 - 00:39:56:13): Wouldn't that be a nice little Easter egg for all the burners out there? **Chip** (00:39:56:15 - 00:40:28:02): Yeah, yeah. So moral of the story is, be careful what your shirt says, either explicitly or implicitly. Yeah, because you need to know what symbols mean on these. Especially these, you know, these shirts. Yeah. And, you know, and more and more, I think the fashion Thomas, if I can get into it, is going to get more complex because some of the shirts that I like, besides just Hawaiian shirts, I'll pay a lot of money for a shirt. Yeah, because the patterns are so complex. **Thomas** (00:40:31:16 - 00:40:35:13): Yeah. Especially if the guys in the store look just like you. **Chip** (00:40:35:15 - 00:40:41:00): They look just like me. It's like every shirt looks just like me. **Thomas** (00:40:41:02 - 00:40:56:23): I did I did have one more thought. Yep. If your shirt and this goes two ways, this is why, like, you can slice both directions and you have to be so careful. But if your shirt has a pineapple upside down cake on it. **Chip** (00:40:57:01 - 00:40:57:17): Yes, you are. **Thomas** (00:40:57:17 - 00:41:04:12): Either the sweetest old lady in the world or the dirtiest dog in the pound. **Chip** (00:41:04:14 - 00:41:06:01): Yeah. You are right. **Thomas** (00:41:06:04 - 00:41:08:10): Oh, wow wow wow. **Chip** (00:41:08:15 - 00:41:12:22): Yeah, that is in a pineapple to a whole new upside down level. **Thomas** (00:41:12:22 - 00:41:21:21): It is. But more importantly, I want to talk about how we interpret dog speaking. How do you get from rough to bow wow? Like to. **Chip** (00:41:21:21 - 00:41:22:10): Bark. **Thomas** (00:41:22:10 - 00:41:32:11): Let's throw bar to bark. It's like I think I think Ruff. Yeah. Pretty much encapsulates what's happening there. I've never heard of Bow Wow. **Chip** (00:41:32:13 - 00:41:36:12): No, but like unless it's like more of like that's more of like a howl. **Thomas** (00:41:36:12 - 00:41:37:01): Yeah. **Chip** (00:41:37:03 - 00:41:37:07): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:41:37:07 - 00:41:47:13): Now I've heard how but like, I think I'm. Yeah, I got like one of the books that my dog that I read, my daughter, it says dogs go bow wow. Wow. But like. **Chip** (00:41:47:13 - 00:41:48:13): No they don't, they. **Thomas** (00:41:48:13 - 00:41:49:15): Don't ducks go. **Chip** (00:41:49:16 - 00:41:50:06): Quack. **Thomas** (00:41:50:08 - 00:41:51:04): Yes they do. **Chip** (00:41:51:05 - 00:41:52:10): Yes yes they do. **Thomas** (00:41:52:10 - 00:42:03:18): Cat's meow. They sure do. But dogs go ruff or bow wow. Wow is what the book says. This book is propaganda. I don't know what they're pushing. **Chip** (00:42:03:20 - 00:42:10:01): I am not the truth. I'm not generally a fan of book burning. Yeah, this is the exception to the rule. **Thomas** (00:42:10:02 - 00:42:15:00): Maybe we'll get together in Central Park and have a good old fashioned book burning chip. **Chip** (00:42:15:00 - 00:42:27:01): If your child's coloring book says to that dog shape, oh, wow. We are, damning them for all eternity. These are satanic books. Yeah, they shall burn. **Thomas** (00:42:27:01 - 00:42:31:08): Meet us by the zoo. We're gonna burn some books. **Chip** (00:42:31:10 - 00:42:37:16): And we're going to listen to what animals really sound like. Children. You're going to learn now? **Thomas** (00:42:37:16 - 00:42:44:13): Yeah, and we're going to bring our own tunes because this is all going to be done to a medley of Spice Girls. **Chip** (00:42:44:15 - 00:42:48:07): Duncan Sheik, Duncan Sheik. **Thomas** (00:42:48:08 - 00:42:53:14): And who else? Who would be a third? A third member of the group? Who else did I like? Shep. Who else do I like? You guys? **Chip** (00:42:53:15 - 00:42:57:08): If if you like Duncan chic, you probably enjoyed Lumetri to tell. **Thomas** (00:42:57:09 - 00:43:02:10): Let me try. There we go. Roll to me. These are the three. These are the three that we're going for. **Chip** (00:43:02:12 - 00:43:14:02): Yeah. Late night late 90s hits. Maybe, maybe a, mad, blank and maybe a Matthew sweet, or a, or a semi sonic. **Thomas** (00:43:14:04 - 00:43:17:06): Semi Sonic blues travelers in there in that time period. **Chip** (00:43:17:10 - 00:43:22:00): All right. Little, little gin blossoms. Oh, a little space hog. We're gonna have a little space hog. **Thomas** (00:43:22:01 - 00:43:26:06): Bass hog, Eagle eye cherry save tonight. **Chip** (00:43:26:08 - 00:43:46:14): Yeah. Oh, by the way, she sent semi Sonic. I have to say, and actually, I think there's a question about telemetry. I did a really fun podcast, called the Catered quiz. Catered quiz that our friends Nick and Joe, they suggested me for, so look up the catered quiz. It was, it was a lot of fun, and, I, I answer trivia questions on two of my favorite topics. Jaws, the movie jaws and 90s. 90s music. Oh, and, telemetry was one of the, with the interest spoiler alert. But, **Thomas** (00:43:55:14 - 00:43:58:16): They're really tickling both your bands. Their chat. **Chip** (00:43:58:18 - 00:44:06:05): Really? Yes. They really went for it. Yeah. I mean, I get to pick the topics that I got my beans tickled too, but yeah, that's. **Thomas** (00:44:06:05 - 00:44:08:20): Well, hence the catered portion of the name. **Chip** (00:44:08:20 - 00:44:35:22): Exactly. So this is our next year's. So you're coming to Hawaii this year to see me perform at the Balloon, a jazz club next year is going to be a comedy and music festival in Hawaii, headlined by I. Again, I don't know if legally we're allowed to say this, but I'm going to go for it. The Spice Girls, Duncan Young Chick, Blues Traveler, Len, if I can just keep going here. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:44:36:22 - 00:44:37:20): Can we pause on this? **Chip** (00:44:37:21 - 00:44:38:19): Oh, Wallflowers. **Thomas** (00:44:38:21 - 00:44:49:11): Can we pause on this for one second? I need to tell you, I saw something. I meant to talk to you about it. It's right in this this zone. Okay. It's right in your Q range. It's your exact Q ranch. **Chip** (00:44:49:13 - 00:44:50:14): It's my exact Q range. **Thomas** (00:44:50:14 - 00:44:59:05): So I saw an article where one of our favorite bands and maybe more me and your wife's than yours. Do you know who I'm talking about already? **Chip** (00:44:59:07 - 00:45:01:16): Probably because I it's one of my favorite. Q is it live? **Thomas** (00:45:01:16 - 00:45:03:03): No. Gin blossoms. **Chip** (00:45:03:03 - 00:45:07:08): The gin blossoms. There it is. That was my second love. Love the gin blossoms. **Thomas** (00:45:07:10 - 00:45:36:21): So recently I saw an article or a headline or something. The Gin Blossoms played a whole set as the Gin Blossoms. They only played Goo Goo Dolls covers and nobody said anything. They were like, nobody noticed. Nobody. Now they're just like people, like, just kind of want to have a show. They know her name. Apparently. They don't care what songs we play. **Chip** (00:45:36:23 - 00:45:57:15): Yeah. Okay. That is that is the most on brand thing I've heard. Knowing what I know about the Gin Blossoms, I that is the funniest that is the funniest thing I've I've ever heard. And it's so hilarious, but not surprising at the same time. Like, that is hilarious. But it's it because they. I don't know if I told the story and you're like, we. I took my wife to see the Gin Blossoms about 15 years ago, and I, you know, I like the Gin Blossoms. Yeah. Hey, jealousy. They had a couple songs, you know. **Thomas** (00:46:06:07 - 00:46:07:18): Some really great songs at the. **Chip** (00:46:07:18 - 00:46:32:04): Time. Never really thought about it. Some. Some radio hits. I didn't know them. Other than that, I never owned an album. My wife was obsessed, so I saw they were coming to this little, outside of Philly. Not even in Philly was outside of Philly, in Chester, Pennsylvania, a a casino and they played, I don't want to call it a glorified conference room because it was a conference room and it was just them on stage. And then just the conference room carpet and then 30ft of space in the carpet, and then just the rows of those conference room, stackable chairs. **Thomas** (00:46:39:23 - 00:46:40:22): Yeah. **Chip** (00:46:40:23 - 00:46:49:19): And everybody was just sitting on the chairs and they come out the gym blossoms and they sing a song or two and everybody's just sitting there. **Thomas** (00:46:49:20 - 00:46:50:08): Yeah. **Chip** (00:46:50:08 - 00:47:05:16): And it's weird. It's them, a big gap. And then everybody's just sitting there and I think his name is Robin Wilson. The lead singer starts yelling at us and was like, you guys can't do this. We need your energy. We're going to have a party tonight. We're going to do this. Get up. Get out of your seats. I want everybody up. Get up on the stage. You're going to dance. And they put on one of the most fun concerts I have ever been to in my entire life. And the thing about the Gin Blossoms, like you think, you know, three songs, you know, like eight. **Thomas** (00:47:18:14 - 00:47:22:20): No, they had a incredible run and they're all like, I love them. It really. **Chip** (00:47:22:20 - 00:47:42:03): They're great. They're they're great. And they were so fun and funny and like, they knew where they were. A couple years later, we saw them. They literally played the Rock and Roll Half Marathon, we did in Philadelphia was a touring marathon. It went from city to city where you would run and like every mile there would be like a different band playing. And like, these were just like local musicians or whatever. Like it. Oh, great. But then when you got back to the finish line, there was a big party and a reason, you know, drinking at 10 a.m. and having food or whatever. And there was there would always be like a fairly big name band. And the Gin Blossoms were they were the band this time and they knew they're like, yeah, we're, we're drinking coffee at 10 a.m. and this is what our life is now. And they were hilarious and fun and gracious and like, that's what you need. And like I would go see the Gin Blossoms any time because they were just a fun, fun bit. Not they. There are some bands that are just bitter and they take themselves too seriously. You get angry and now I'm not these guys, they were great. But to play Thomas, that is to play the just a set of the Goo Goo Dolls is that's the funniest. **Thomas** (00:48:29:18 - 00:48:39:04): It was, it was so good. And, I have I have a gin blossom story too. And go and college. I went to see him at the Wow Hall. I believe in Eugene show. **Chip** (00:48:39:04 - 00:48:44:03): You did progress from the Spice Girls up to the Gin Blossoms? **Thomas** (00:48:44:03 - 00:48:50:07): Yeah, I mean, it was on the mix. It was on the mix. I didn't only just listen to one thing. I've always been very open minded, chip. **Chip** (00:48:50:09 - 00:48:51:18): Eclectic. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:48:51:20 - 00:49:12:03): Yeah. I, I take a little bit of what's good from everything, but largely if you were on, like, I remember just being obsessed, I'd wake up early and I'd watch, like, the MTV top ten. And then I also watched the VH1 top ten. So, like, if you want any two of those, like, I didn't care. I knew VH one was for a little bit older people, a little bit mellower, a. **Chip** (00:49:12:03 - 00:49:15:23): Little adult contemporary, little Coldplay, a little shoddy. **Thomas** (00:49:15:23 - 00:49:32:21): But I liked them both. Chip. Yeah, I just liked music. I was a music kid. But anyways, big fan of the Gin Blossoms. I think I had their first two albums when it was like I had to go to a CD store and pay with, like, lawn mowing money to get those albums, like. **Chip** (00:49:32:21 - 00:49:33:05): Yep. **Thomas** (00:49:33:07 - 00:49:54:06): Loved them. Big fan. And this is only a couple of years later. It's like, you know, I'm in college. So yeah, you wonder how a star burns out that fast. But like, I bought tickets to see the gym blossoms. I was fired up and we got there, and I. I'm if there if I'm saying there was 12 people. I'm probably being a little generous. Tony. I don't know if it was under promoted or people just didn't care or whatever because like it's a big college town. Wow. Halls kind of like the venue. Everybody knows where like the, you know, the they had some cheaper tickets and everywhere else, and it was a good venue to see stuff at. So we went to go see them like it was me, a buddy and maybe three other groups of two. Yeah. In this big performance space. No chairs. It's a standing. So everybody's kind of spread out, and they did that thing like they brought everybody in and they were just like, such great attitudes. We're going to have a show. I remember it like they played a couple of songs, got everybody in there. And like, we are doing our best. To make it feel like there's more than eight people there. **Chip** (00:50:45:13 - 00:50:46:04): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:50:46:06 - 00:51:11:12): And then I remember the guy just being like, come hell or high water, we're putting on a goddamn rock show tonight or something along those lines. And as he says that the power and the whole building go just shuts off. Be like emergency lights come on by the exits and, like. But it was right after that, come hell or high water. We're putting on a rock show tonight, and, just the. And that's when the high water came and chip power was. **Chip** (00:51:18:23 - 00:51:19:11): Literally. **Thomas** (00:51:19:15 - 00:51:35:21): Just there. Yeah. There was that big even could chuck sound of the, the light like the power going off and it's just dark right of you said it, I remember. Yeah. That's pretty funny. You couldn't even laugh because you felt bad for him. The power came back on and they played all the hits. They were freaking great. That. But yeah, I just I just remember being very perplexed of, like, And I think the band. **Chip** (00:51:41:21 - 00:51:42:14): Why is nobody. **Thomas** (00:51:42:14 - 00:51:55:05): Here? Yeah, I think the band was more perplexed than we were. Yeah. Like, I think they were still doing pretty well at the time. It's not like they were putting out new, like, hits, but they were not far away from there. **Chip** (00:51:55:07 - 00:51:57:05): From from I'll follow you down. **Thomas** (00:51:57:05 - 00:52:03:13): Yeah. It's like, you know, the Rolling Stones. I don't, I don't know a lot of their new stuff, you know, but people still show up. **Chip** (00:52:03:15 - 00:52:06:05): They, they show up for the hits people. **Thomas** (00:52:06:09 - 00:52:09:02): And that's why it comes down to people love a hit. **Chip** (00:52:09:04 - 00:52:17:08): Yeah. Do you know there's a story, in that same in that same site, guys? Yeah. Better than Ezra love. **Thomas** (00:52:17:08 - 00:52:21:12): Better than other than Ezra. Social media, connection. Yeah. **Chip** (00:52:21:14 - 00:52:36:01): Yes. Yeah. He it, the guy from, better than Ezra like to one of my videos, and it was, like, so cool that that we put out there. But he, I heard him on interview saying one time, if you if you know the song and I know you know what we're talking about here. So the song good bye. And I was like, kind of like the first big hit, right? You know? Good. And if you remember, at the very end of the song, good, the song's kind of over and you just kind of hear in this muffled voice a guy scream high pitch. He goes, yeah, that's right. Do you remember that? It's at the very end of the song is yeah, that's right. And apparently somebody asked me like, what is that? Like, why did you do that? And he's like, because they were either on a show or they went to see a show when they were like teenagers or whatever. And it was like some like heavy metal or like hair metal. Yeah, kind of like whatever, I guess. And they're again, there's and it wasn't like a big band. It was just like, whatever from what I remember. And there was like nobody in the crowd, but the guy's just still doing his like, you know, Motley crew. Yeah, whatever thing. And he goes, you know, like, you guys ready to party nerd or whatever? And he just like, puts the mic out to the audience. And the audience didn't say anything. And but just he just goes, you guys ready for that? Yeah. That's right. Like it's just like he doesn't care if the audience is there or not. But they said nothing. A fair lady just goes, yeah, that's right. **Thomas** (00:53:45:21 - 00:53:55:11): I think that's something you could steal. Chip, there's something, something that's zero reaction like, I don't know you're talking about. Yeah, cutting open a kid like some cake. **Chip** (00:53:55:13 - 00:54:03:13): Yeah, that'll probably be cut out of this episode. And that's completely fine, too. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:54:03:15 - 00:54:06:13): That's right. You guys love it. **Chip** (00:54:06:14 - 00:54:23:11): You know, we I know we I think we only have a few minutes left. We're always so short on time, and it goes so fast. And it's so fun with you people there in YouTube land and listener land. I, I think we need to talk a little bit about concert. So we're, we're talking about some of these shows, right? We're talking about the, the bands. Let's talk about the audience members because we're going to see goose. **Thomas** (00:54:28:17 - 00:54:29:07): Yep. **Chip** (00:54:29:09 - 00:54:44:09): At Madison Square Garden. I've never seen a concert. Madison Square Garden, very excited. I think there are some do's and don'ts, some concert etiquette that I think people sometimes maybe, maybe the pandemic, maybe whatever people forget about. **Thomas** (00:54:44:09 - 00:54:44:21): Yeah. **Chip** (00:54:44:23 - 00:54:48:05): And I think we just need to remind them a little concert etiquette. **Thomas** (00:54:48:05 - 00:54:56:06): Yeah. Yeah, I think that's, wildly appropriate. Especially since we're going to see a show so soon. It will be a good reminder for us to show up for us. **Chip** (00:54:56:06 - 00:55:13:10): Yeah. So, first of all, Thomas, dress for comfort. All right. Yep. Do you do you want to wear a Hawaiian shirt? Maybe you don't have to, but maybe you will. But you want to dress for comfort. Where are the comfortable shoes? Yeah, and I'm kind of speaking to the ladies out there. You don't need to wear high heels. You don't need to wear this. No. Comfortably. You're out there. You can be dancing around. You can be walking to and fro. You going to be up and down steps. Generally dress, dress comfortably. You got to okay. We're not. And it's like if somebody wants to dress maybe with like a cool t shirt or like whatever. Also don't go get all dolled up like it's I think a lot of these rules, I think are going to be like, the concert is not about you, right? It's about the band and it's about us. It's about the communal experience. And I think, what if I can sound like a curmudgeon? I think a lot of it is like people, they they make it about them and then it just ruins it for everybody around them. And I think that's I think it's what it is. So first of all, okay, here we go. So dress comfortably. Number two camera phone use sparingly I'm not saying don't use it. Yeah here's what I do I get all excited. See a band. They come out on stage, they start playing their first song. I whip out my camera right away, take a couple of shots. Right? Maybe even just like a very quick video, like 30s or something like that. If it's like a song, I really like that they open up with. And then I put the phone away and I forget about it for the rest of the night. I love that it's done, go out, take a couple pics and then forget about it. Be there, don't be, because it's like in the 80s and 90s, like the trope. The comedy thing was like everybody was videotaping their kids dance recital. Yeah. You know, and this conscious year to become the dance recitals of the 2020s of just like everybody's just with on their phones. And it's to be there in the moment. You're not going to watch this on your phone again, really just put it down. You're not really going to post it too much. Or if you do, you're going to post like 30s again. Yeah. And then just put it away. I think. **Thomas** (00:56:53:02 - 00:57:11:13): That's it. Like, optimize for what you're actually going to use it for. Like, I, I don't post anything on social media generally. Like I don't care. But if this is this is the functionality I can see of taking a quick video at a show. It's just to share with your friends who wish they were there. Right? **Chip** (00:57:11:13 - 00:57:13:18): You know, it makes show like make them feel bad. **Thomas** (00:57:13:18 - 00:57:15:08): Yeah, you got it. You can use it to like. **Chip** (00:57:15:08 - 00:57:16:18): Rub it in their face. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:57:16:18 - 00:57:33:08): It's just the you little poor pigs that can't go to shows. You greasy little balls of garbage. Look what I'm doing. Yeah. And then, you know, look up from your phone to what you're doing and realize that I'm the king of the world. **Chip** (00:57:33:10 - 00:57:34:02): Exactly. **Thomas** (00:57:34:02 - 00:57:52:18): That's it. There's no other functionality outside of that, because you're not getting great video, you're not getting great sound, and, yeah, you're not going to watch it again. They have professional recordings of all this music that you can just indulge in, but I get it. You get a 32nd snippet, you pop it away, and you're good to go. **Chip** (00:57:52:20 - 00:58:16:15): Exactly, exactly. All right, another one. It's, you know, talking to our in concert. Don't talk. If you if you have to share some vital information. Sure. But there's nothing that bothers me more of like when, especially if it's a quieter concert. Or maybe they do an acoustic song or something like that, and then you just hear, like I always wonder, have you ever, like, listened to, like a live recording of like Something and you're like, oh my God, this is the most beautiful thing. But then you just hear somebody talking in the background, you're like, this has been recorded for the ages. It's out there. They're selling it on it on a live album or the doing whatever. And you yap about it. The. Yeah, through it the entire time. Like, how embarrassing would that be if you heard your voice on, like, a live recording where you're just like, yeah. And then Dan said this to me, so I fucking Peppa, Peppa, Peppa and it's like, no. Yeah, that's right. Could you imagine listening to like a Dave Matthews live album or just doing something acoustic, the most beautiful song, and then you just hear your voice like, yeah. And then he said this to me and then I get this. And that's your voice over top of Dave Matthews. What everybody wants to hear, I. **Thomas** (00:58:57:22 - 00:58:58:22): Get it, you. **Chip** (00:58:59:00 - 00:59:20:14): Can't do it. Speaking of talking, no requests. Don't call out requests. They got their set. Yeah, they know what they're doing. They know the flow of the evening. And by the way, when anybody requests a song, they don't. They're not doing it to request the song. They're doing it to let everybody else in the audience know that they know. Deep cut. Yeah. Do you want I mean, yeah, yeah. Like that's like that's like going to, like a Wilco show and be like, cars can't escape and like, oh, you know that track that was cut off of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot that they do sometimes. And we were like, no, you need to. You're not doing it because you want to hear it. You want to let everybody know that you know this fact virtue signaling. Yeah. Also I'm going to say this too. We might be breaking this rule slightly, but I, I think we have the exception because we're going to be sitting in two different sections, and we're going to be going back and forth a little bit. And it's a couple of different people coming together. But if you're going to go to a concert, no more than a group of four, no more than a group of four, four top that. That's it. Because then you get eight people, ten people in a group. That's when everybody's talking and you make it about them. And then somebody gets in a fight with somebody or they're just making a big scene, or mom wants to take a selfie with everybody in the whole group, and there's like a whole section that's just now having a birthday party instead of watching Space Hog play their hits. **Thomas** (01:00:22:08 - 01:00:26:00): Yeah, Space Hog deserves your attention. **Chip** (01:00:26:02 - 01:00:40:17): Yeah. Space hog I went to see a space talk show with my buddy Rob one time, and we got there a little late. I'm usually somebody there that likes to get there early. Rob wanted to go have a drink or two first, so I was like, fine. We get there a little bit late. We actually missed the opening act. And we got there. Space hog was already on stage. In the meantime, is one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm like, well, the close with the encore. With it, they opened. **Thomas** (01:00:50:18 - 01:00:53:07): Yeah, that's when you can in the meantime. **Chip** (01:00:53:09 - 01:01:17:10): And I missed it. Oh, and then years later, years later, this is two years ago. A year and a half ago, I was opening for Gary Gulman at the TLA, the theater of the Living Arts in Philadelphia. And I was there backstage and I was talking to the, the manager of the venue, and he's just talking about he's like, oh, I used to work at this venue that for any night, you know, we do this like they do a lot of, like tla's mostly a music venue, a lot of bands. And he's like, oh yeah, used to do this thing with like sometimes with bands that maybe only had like 1 or 2 hits where I would say, you know, you should do open with a hit. Yeah. Like, you know, just shock everybody and then they open with it and they got nothing left. And it's like he would just kind of do that. It and it was like, oh, that's so funny because I saw Space Hog years ago at the no. He's like, Chip. I used to match the note space hog to up with in the meantime. And so he was the reason that I missed one of my favorite songs of all time. **Thomas** (01:01:51:00 - 01:01:55:08): I mean, that's, abuse of power as far as I'm concerned. Yep. He took something away from you. **Chip** (01:01:55:10 - 01:02:09:19): Yes. He did. Speaking of that, here's another rule for concert goers. Go see the opening act. Get that. You don't have to get there right at the beginning of the show, but at least catch a few songs in the opening act. You'll never know who it's going to be. You never know. Maybe it's going to be your new favorite band. Give them the love and the respect. Go see an opening act. **Thomas** (01:02:14:03 - 01:02:22:18): Yeah, I, I remember one time I went to see Jimmy Eat World in Portland, and, it was like, do you remember the Frey? **Chip** (01:02:22:20 - 01:02:24:03): Sure. How to save a life. **Thomas** (01:02:24:04 - 01:02:36:00): How to save a life. So, like they had, they had, like, a real nice year long run where they just put out the after banger and I saw them like six months before that. Because we, we went to see the opening act, but. **Chip** (01:02:36:02 - 01:02:51:02): That see, that's what it is, for when my wife and I first started dating, I would, I would, like, crash at her place and then have to, like, wake up super early in the morning, like, drive back to my, my, teaching job in the suburbs. And so we just set the alarm for, like, 5:00 Am, 530. Yeah. And she, she had one is. And by the way, we still have it. It's not really although we don't use it for this purpose. We just use it for a clock now in the bedroom. But, she had a clock radio as we people used to have. Yeah, that was a CD player that you could set it to play a song. And for the first, like, year that we were dating, when I would wake up, the alarm was the phrase How to Save a. **Thomas** (01:03:13:10 - 01:03:14:21): Life is a banger, dad. **Chip** (01:03:14:21 - 01:03:16:03): Yeah, yeah. **Thomas** (01:03:16:05 - 01:03:18:15): She's. I mean, it's a little depressing. **Chip** (01:03:18:17 - 01:03:23:18): It is, but it's it's a nice it's a nice, easy way to wake up. Like, it just it's kind of quiet. **Thomas** (01:03:23:18 - 01:03:27:03): And then it's an emo ease in to the day. **Chip** (01:03:27:05 - 01:03:30:00): The emo is, it is is exactly is exactly what it is. **Thomas** (01:03:30:02 - 01:03:40:06): Yeah. All right. We're running short on time here, buddy. But, dude, it's just. But so excited. This weekend we're going to be. If you guys are coming out to ghosts, hit us up. Yeah.
