**Thomas** (00:00:00:01 - 00:00:04:09):
And that's when I told her $2 million or I'm not going to promote your stupid product.
**Chip** (00:00:04:09 - 00:00:09:13):
That is the last time I think you should ever talk to Anna Kendrick.
**Thomas** (00:00:09:14 - 00:00:18:14):
Did we already start? Oh. Oh, no. Hey, everybody, it's the sunburn podcast where we talk about comedy and tropical travel and million dollar deals.
**Chip** (00:00:18:16 - 00:00:23:07):
Yeah, those deals are just piling in right now. I know Anna Kendrick is a person, right? That's a that's a lady, right?
**Thomas** (00:00:23:08 - 00:00:26:17):
Anna Kendrick is a movie star.
**Chip** (00:00:26:18 - 00:00:27:07):
Good for her.
**Thomas** (00:00:27:11 - 00:00:31:12):
Yeah, yeah. She was one of the, the pitch perfect gals.
**Chip** (00:00:31:14 - 00:00:37:20):
That's what I was thinking. I was thinking like, like a high school musical kind of situation, but. And I was in the ballpark.
**Thomas** (00:00:37:20 - 00:00:44:23):
And in that scenario, I was demanding $1 million from her for, for an appearance.
**Chip** (00:00:45:01 - 00:00:52:22):
Yes. Yes, that's exactly what it was. I was also picturing. Is it is it? I'm going to say the name incorrectly. Isla Fisher, is that who that is?
**Thomas** (00:00:52:22 - 00:00:55:08):
That's a tough one. I think it's Isla Fisher.
**Chip** (00:00:55:09 - 00:00:59:19):
Is it Isla Fisher? Isla Fisher from, I would know her from,
**Thomas** (00:00:59:21 - 00:01:00:06):
Wedding.
**Chip** (00:01:00:06 - 00:01:10:20):
Crashers. Wedding Crashers? Yeah. So I feel like in that that's the. Those are two people that he kind of, you know, there's actors that you just put together. Yeah. You know, Bill Paxton, Bill Pullman kind of situation.
**Thomas** (00:01:10:20 - 00:01:12:05):
The bills, the bills.
**Chip** (00:01:12:06 - 00:01:19:18):
Yeah. Yeah. I would get, Glenn Close and Meryl Streep, like, they're sort of crisscrossed in my head together.
**Thomas** (00:01:19:18 - 00:01:20:20):
And Ross.
**Chip** (00:01:20:22 - 00:01:27:21):
Get you get Glenn Ross. Glenn. Gary. Glenn Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket fame. All the Glenn's.
**Thomas** (00:01:27:21 - 00:01:31:05):
Really? Yeah. Walk on the ocean. They all walked on the ocean.
**Chip** (00:01:31:06 - 00:01:37:15):
They step on the is it? I think it's foam or stone. They step, they walk on something to step on something.
**Thomas** (00:01:37:15 - 00:01:43:07):
They can really move through a beach area. Chip, which is something we're very interested in here at the sunburn podcast.
**Chip** (00:01:43:08 - 00:01:47:10):
Yeah. Is that is what the good men at toad, the What's Rocket talk about?
**Thomas** (00:01:47:12 - 00:01:54:23):
I don't care about their actions, I really don't. They could be vile, repulsive people. I care about what they say, what.
**Chip** (00:01:54:23 - 00:01:55:14):
They sing about.
**Thomas** (00:01:55:20 - 00:01:58:17):
Yeah, yeah. If you had to sing about anything, what would you sing about? Yep.
**Chip** (00:01:58:19 - 00:02:20:04):
I would literally sing about the members of Toad the What's Rocket? I would I would dedicate an entire concept album just to just to go through the lives in the history of the gentleman from Toad the Wet Sprocket and like, I don't even know if I would do that same genre. By the way, I'm a big toe the wet sprocket that my wife loves tto the wet sprocket, I, I, I enjoy them very much.
I love the that genre, that 80s. I'm sorry. That 90s sort of California. Yeah. That vibe. I don't even know if I would do it in that vibe. Maybe I would do like a rap album about toad, though. It's rocket.
**Thomas** (00:02:33:21 - 00:02:36:18):
You just Hamilton, Toad the Wet Sprocket.
**Chip** (00:02:36:19 - 00:02:50:03):
I think, I am going to Lin Manuel, the gentleman from Toad the Wet Sprocket. I'm going to just go through their life stories. And people are like, wait, so this is like a jukebox musical? I'm like.
**Thomas** (00:02:50:05 - 00:02:51:16):
Well, no, no.
**Chip** (00:02:51:16 - 00:02:57:00):
See, it's like it's all the songs from Toad the Wet Sprocket. Yeah, well, no, we couldn't get the licensing.
**Thomas** (00:02:57:00 - 00:02:59:07):
It's an all female cast.
**Chip** (00:02:59:09 - 00:02:59:21):
All female.
**Thomas** (00:02:59:22 - 00:03:04:01):
Care about the life of every individual member of the band.
**Chip** (00:03:04:03 - 00:03:11:03):
Picture, rent, meet, stomp. But about Glenn Phillips and the other fellas from toad. The Wet Sprocket.
**Thomas** (00:03:11:07 - 00:03:29:07):
And famously following following the Hamilton Road map. It can only have one word name. And I think it's got to be from the name of the band. So what word are you picking? What do you think's most representative? Is it toad, is it sprocket or is it just a good old down and dirty wet?
**Chip** (00:03:29:09 - 00:03:34:23):
I might just go with the, I'll just call it the, And then it's all encompassing.
**Thomas** (00:03:35:04 - 00:03:35:20):
**Chip** (00:03:35:22 - 00:03:42:19):
I think that's what I think it was. Just call it the. And then. Oh, yeah. Oh, you mean the Toad the Wet Sprocket musical? Yeah. The hit Toad the Wet Sprocket musical.
**Thomas** (00:03:42:22 - 00:03:44:03):
It just flows.
**Chip** (00:03:44:04 - 00:03:49:14):
And then what if the guys from toe the what's bracket? Very talent guys. What if they tried to do a jukebox musical.
**Thomas** (00:03:49:16 - 00:03:50:05):
**Chip** (00:03:50:08 - 00:04:11:05):
But it mine got confused with theirs. Yeah. So then like it just it sort of blocks them from their success. I feel terrible but I feel like mine would be okay. Let me ask you this, Thomas, if you can weigh in in the comments here. Yeah, it's Saturday night. You have free let's say you're at a hotel.
You're you're in a chat. Let's say you're in New York, and the hotel is like, hey, you've been such a good, valued patron of this hotel. We're going to give you and your lady two free tickets to a hit Broadway play.
**Thomas** (00:04:24:18 - 00:04:25:10):
Okay? You have.
**Chip** (00:04:25:10 - 00:04:26:03):
Your choice.
**Thomas** (00:04:26:03 - 00:04:27:01):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:04:27:03 - 00:04:32:08):
Of a jukebox musical featuring the songs and music of Toad the Wet Sprocket.
**Thomas** (00:04:32:08 - 00:04:32:22):
Yep.
**Chip** (00:04:32:23 - 00:04:47:08):
Or a hip hop musical written by a no name comedian about the lives of the of the members of Toad the Wet Sprocket. No. Two other words. Rocket music involved. Which one are you going to?
**Thomas** (00:04:47:08 - 00:04:51:06):
It's. There's a clear greater than I'd go to that.
**Chip** (00:04:51:08 - 00:04:52:03):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:04:52:05 - 00:05:02:15):
I'd go to that. Like as as much as I enjoy the one song I remember of Toad the Wet Sprocket. Yeah. Vaguely. Or is it walk on the ocean or walk by the ocean?
**Chip** (00:05:02:16 - 00:05:09:18):
Walk on the ocean. If you're just walking by the ocean, why would you write a song about it? Thomas? You only do if you're walking on the ocean.
**Thomas** (00:05:09:20 - 00:05:12:06):
It's a body of water chip. That's impossible.
**Chip** (00:05:12:12 - 00:05:30:15):
Two people have done that in in the history of man that I know of one of them. There is a gigantic book written about at least the second half. And the second there was a hit song from I'm going to call it in 1992 about that. By the way, you say walk on the ocean, you know, you remember that song?
That's the that's the Toad, the Whisperer song, I guarantee you, I, I'm right now I would put 20 bucks on the fact that, you know, like, very well six of the Wet Sprocket songs.
**Thomas** (00:05:43:23 - 00:05:52:00):
Before I can make any kind of wagers. I need this Anna Kendrick check to clear up. I don't I'm not I'm not betting money. I don't have in hand.
**Chip** (00:05:52:05 - 00:06:02:16):
Okay. Once Ark's money comes through, your bet. 20 bucks. Because you're going to know. Walk on the ocean. You're going to know. I think it's fall down. Come down. There's a lot of downs there. A lot of dance.
**Thomas** (00:06:02:22 - 00:06:04:03):
**Chip** (00:06:04:05 - 00:06:12:20):
I mean, all I want, all I want is to feel this way, to be this close, to feel the same. All I want. I don't want to get copy written here, but, you know, your.
**Thomas** (00:06:12:20 - 00:06:15:01):
Pitch is too perfect. We're going to get copy written.
**Chip** (00:06:15:01 - 00:06:19:19):
I think, as it was, but. But I'm telling you right now, you and everybody else know at least six toe the wet sprocket socks.
**Thomas** (00:06:19:23 - 00:06:23:14):
I think they might be a Santa Barbara band.
**Chip** (00:06:23:19 - 00:06:37:04):
I feel like they are. They're a Southern California band and Santa Barbara sounds about right. What's the name of that town? I was going to go to that town when I was living out there, my wife and I, when when she was visiting, when I was out there for a couple months.
**Thomas** (00:06:37:04 - 00:06:37:21):
Bakersfield.
**Chip** (00:06:38:01 - 00:06:49:16):
No, it's the name of town. It's up by seven. Santa Barbara, you got to be the one. So it's like everything is like Swedish or, Solvang. Solvang? Yeah. What is the. Is that. Is it Swedish? Is.
**Thomas** (00:06:49:16 - 00:06:50:23):
I think it's Dutch.
**Chip** (00:06:51:01 - 00:06:51:22):
Dutch. Okay.
**Thomas** (00:06:52:00 - 00:06:54:00):
Yeah. It's a California. Dutch country.
**Chip** (00:06:54:02 - 00:06:56:10):
Would have you been? Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:06:56:12 - 00:07:12:06):
Yeah. There's windmills. There's a lot of great pastries. It's, kind of kind of close to. Or maybe it is technically part of, Santa Barbara wine country. Okay. And the whole area is lovely. When, during the pandemic, when we got real into Yellowstone, I'm sure.
**Chip** (00:07:12:10 - 00:07:14:05):
Who, who who didn't.
**Thomas** (00:07:14:07 - 00:07:32:06):
For my birthday, because we couldn't do anything. My wife got us a delightful Airbnb on a ranch in Santa Barbara. Wine country, and we, like, rode horses and stuff. It was really, really cool. And we watched, like, over that weekend, a whole season of Yellowstone. It was fantastic.
**Chip** (00:07:32:08 - 00:07:47:19):
Look at that. I mean, you're just in you're in California's Dutch country, but you're just like, we're just going to watch Yellowstone. I love it, I love it so much. I think you've just inspired me to of my next musical, walking on the Ocean in My Wooden Shoes.
**Thomas** (00:07:47:21 - 00:07:48:19):
**Chip** (00:07:48:21 - 00:07:56:19):
The Solvang based musical featuring the music of Toad the Wet Sprocket. I'm bringing two of the Wet Rocks catalog into this one.
**Thomas** (00:07:57:01 - 00:08:02:09):
Yeah. I mean, this is this is hats on, hats on hats, and I love it.
**Chip** (00:08:02:11 - 00:08:05:10):
Yeah, and wooden shoes on shoes, I'll say that.
**Thomas** (00:08:05:12 - 00:08:13:15):
Yeah. There's the that familiar little clip clop of clogs running all through these ideas. And I think it's, I think it's fantastic job.
**Chip** (00:08:13:21 - 00:08:28:15):
It's a hat on a hat. And you know what? It also is? It's a sunburn podcast. We're here ladies, and I'm talking about Solvang, talking about more tropical locations as well. I'm Chief Chantry here with Thomas O'Brien. Thomas, are you are you ready to dive into this?
**Thomas** (00:08:28:17 - 00:08:35:09):
Oh, dude. Yeah, I am excited about this today, a little Hawaiian tropic.
**Chip** (00:08:35:13 - 00:08:41:08):
Put this tropic on, slathered on the face. I needed this today. I,
**Thomas** (00:08:41:10 - 00:08:44:14):
I know you've been going through it, but it.
**Chip** (00:08:44:16 - 00:09:00:16):
I'm, I'm on just a couple hours of sleep. I know you are, too. Oh, yeah. I want to say let's let's get into it. Let's get on the other. Should we get on the other side? Let's open this officially. All right. And then get into the reason why we are both, I think a little, little punchy today.
And I think in the best way possible.
**Thomas** (00:09:02:06 - 00:09:16:13):
This is the sunburnt podcast where we talk about tropical travel and comedy. If you like those two things and think they should be pressed together very tightly, to be enjoyed by all, stay tuned. Front desk.
**Chip** (00:09:16:13 - 00:09:21:03):
Hi, this is Mr. Chantry in room 308. I was wondering if you could give me a wake up call. Absolutely.
**Thomas** (00:09:21:03 - 00:09:22:10):
Mr. Chantry, what time would you like?
**Chip** (00:09:22:10 - 00:09:28:16):
Oh, it doesn't matter. My life has just been going down a terrible path, and I need you to stab me out of it with a wake up call.
**Thomas** (00:09:28:17 - 00:09:33:12):
Well, how about right now? You do owe us $3,000 from minibar alone.
**Chip** (00:09:33:13 - 00:09:34:12):
That's just what I need. It.
**Thomas** (00:09:34:13 - 00:09:51:16):
Chip, it's episode 22 of the sunburnt podcast. The hundred and 32 days till Chip Chantry is Thanksgiving in Paradise, the comedic tropical event this whole podcast, was kind of started to bring up and support.
**Chip** (00:09:51:16 - 00:10:07:09):
Yeah. I can't believe we're we are closing in. I think we got about four months, and I'm just I'm I'm starting to get giddy. I'm starting to get excited. I'm talking to people about it. They're just like, if they've been there, they can even love Hawaii. It's just a whole different world. And, can't wait to do the show.
And, bring some people up. And like, I, I do love a good group trip, you know, I be like, like some of my favorite vacations have been with, like, a couple of couples.
**Thomas** (00:10:18:01 - 00:10:18:12):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:10:18:12 - 00:10:21:09):
I'm saying, like, if it's just me and Mrs. Great, Kim.
**Thomas** (00:10:21:09 - 00:10:24:07):
Does get bored if it's just you, right?
**Chip** (00:10:24:09 - 00:10:25:15):
Most people do.
**Thomas** (00:10:25:17 - 00:10:26:14):
Mostly.
**Chip** (00:10:26:16 - 00:10:40:23):
I've seen you wandering off halfway through this podcast. A number of times. I get, I get it, I take it with a grain of salt. No offense taken. So, yeah, it's nice to have a couple other people there where you're just. You're you're the Goonies. You know what I mean?
**Thomas** (00:10:41:02 - 00:10:41:12):
Yeah, you.
**Chip** (00:10:41:12 - 00:11:05:20):
Are, just a couple of upstart 12 year old kids trying to find some gold doubloons, and you're in a strange town and you're all figuring out together. Like, sometimes that can be a little bit. If you have that wild card person that can be a little off or whatever, but it's about vetting. But you get some good people out there and what can go wrong in Hawaii, man, like just brings people out.
We have a good time. I'm just I'm excited and you guys should come along with us. That's what, that's what this this group is all about. We. Yeah, we have some, you were talking to me. I don't get off on air too much right now, but, you got me excited about a couple of the activities that I want to do when I'm there.
Like daytime stuff, like. Sure. The the comedy show is going to be great. It's going to be a lot of fun. That's just the cherry on top. There's, there's a lot of fun stuff we're going to do. So this Thanksgiving, you're like, I'm listening this right now. You're like, I'm not going to Hawaii this Thanksgiving. Yes you are.
You're coming with us. It's going to be great. I think the.
**Thomas** (00:11:40:04 - 00:11:54:21):
Thing yeah, that I'm most excited about is, of course, the show that's going to be fantastic. But, what I'm picturing right now is just floating in the water. Yeah. You know, just, I.
**Chip** (00:11:54:21 - 00:11:56:19):
Hope, face up. I'm hoping face up.
**Thomas** (00:11:56:19 - 00:12:00:19):
Yes. That is, that is the preferred float.
**Chip** (00:12:00:21 - 00:12:16:07):
Because there has been some times where I have fantasized about floating it's face down there, just in a swimming pool, Great Gatsby. So spoiler alert, Great Gatsby style. But, this is, this is a very, a much more positive feeling it's getting.
**Thomas** (00:12:16:07 - 00:12:24:20):
Yeah. It's going to be a lot more positive. It's just dude, it's just like it's my happy place. Just kind of floating in that, floating in the water right off of Waikiki.
**Chip** (00:12:24:22 - 00:12:26:19):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:12:26:21 - 00:12:45:03):
I can just feel it. I can picture it. I can see the colors. I can see the surroundings. And I've been there on Thanksgiving before, and it's just such a nice contrast to what, what's going on back in the, you know, the mainland, the real world. Yes. The weather out there is perfect. The water's still.
**Chip** (00:12:45:03 - 00:12:47:07):
Warm. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:12:47:09 - 00:13:11:16):
And, yeah, there's there's some hikes I want to show you for sure. Some cool beaches, some different activities. But, dude, it's just going to be good to hang out there with you and Kim. My family is going to be coming, and then we're going to have a bunch of friends that are coming, like, this is, I don't know, this show is just the ultimate excuse to get some people together in a location that, like, we really wouldn't have been able to any other way I could think of.
We just needed to have the reason. And this show is the reason Thanksgiving is the season.
**Chip** (00:13:17:14 - 00:13:31:03):
This is a scam. Like I want a beef. Can I be upfront with people and say this is a scam, that we just wanted to go on vacation and we are. We are reverse engineering our career so that we can just go on vacation.
**Thomas** (00:13:31:04 - 00:13:42:17):
That's what it is. I mean, I think in the taglines, that, hey, I wrote for what the podcast is, one of the things we are in search of is a life. You don't need a vacation from.
**Chip** (00:13:42:19 - 00:13:44:01):
I mean, that's what we're going for.
**Thomas** (00:13:44:07 - 00:13:47:01):
And I was like, that's actually pretty profound, I think.
**Chip** (00:13:47:01 - 00:13:47:15):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:13:47:17 - 00:14:08:20):
So yeah, we're we're we're mixing commerce with what we 100% want to do. I don't know, in success, boy, we would be happy we did all this workshop. Yeah. But regardless, it's going to be a lot of fun. And, I'm I'm thrilled, man. I'm wearing a new Hawaiian dude.
**Chip** (00:14:08:21 - 00:14:10:21):
It looks incredible.
**Thomas** (00:14:10:21 - 00:14:19:15):
Another big fun shirt. Cow. Yeah, I spoke to Stephan over there yesterday. Yours are being made as we speak.
**Chip** (00:14:19:15 - 00:14:34:17):
I'm so sexy. I got to I got to pick out the, the pattern. Like, I, I I'm not a, you know me, Thomas. I am not a high fashion gentleman, but just the idea that I got to, like, pick out the pattern, check it out. I'd be like, oh, this. And then, like, be like, yeah, this would look good.
Me standing on a beach. Little, little wind rustling through those, those locks, you know, like, that's like, this is this is a lot of fun. I got my measurements and that was that was I never knew how to measure a shirt before I.
**Thomas** (00:14:45:23 - 00:14:49:00):
Learned I'm fired up. I love these, they're fun.
**Chip** (00:14:49:02 - 00:15:07:03):
I did get it. I got a new shirt. I got two new shirts. I did get a Hawaiian. I went to a vintage shop. I think vintage kind of. Yeah. Secondhand shop. When I was getting my haircut this past week at my Rick job and, found two shirts that I. That I liked, I got Hawaiian that I really did enjoy, and it kind of fit perfectly.
And that's what I used the design for the, for the big fun shirts, which I, which I can't wait to get. And then I just got this one for eight bucks. This is okay. I want to show the people at home here. Okay? Yeah. Let me just so we can see this little pattern here. All right.
It is. I guess. You know, it's it's a plaid shirt, but it's light. It's airy. I got it for $8, and it's so it's not exactly a Hawaiian, but it just feels like this is like something that your grandfather would wear to a picnic in the summertime.
**Thomas** (00:15:38:13 - 00:15:40:14):
This is what you would call a summer shirt?
**Chip** (00:15:40:16 - 00:15:41:22):
Yes, 100%.
**Thomas** (00:15:42:01 - 00:15:52:07):
But also, I know that your wife's actual, shoes on for what she finds attractive.
**Chip** (00:15:52:10 - 00:15:52:19):
Yes.
**Thomas** (00:15:52:19 - 00:15:55:10):
Is old man at a picnic?
**Chip** (00:15:55:12 - 00:16:12:09):
That is, old man at a picnic is probably my wife's favorite man. Like, my wife just can't get enough of, like, a, like a sweet old man. Like. Yeah, like an elderly gentleman. She just think is the cutest, wonderful thing. So no wonder I went. I made a beeline for this shirt. Yeah, I didn't even realize.
It's just subconscious.
**Thomas** (00:16:13:08 - 00:16:19:18):
Yeah. Whenever we go to dinner, she's always, like, poking you in the ribs, and she's like, I can't wait till this one gets a couple more years on them.
**Chip** (00:16:20:00 - 00:16:26:00):
Yeah, I think she's aging me like she's distressing me. I think it's like. Like a piece of furniture to me.
**Thomas** (00:16:26:02 - 00:16:29:07):
Does your wife make you sleep in a dehydrator too, or is it just me?
**Chip** (00:16:29:09 - 00:16:38:19):
Yeah. It's just. Yeah. She. She. Yeah. She makes me sleep with, just a dehydrator full of licorice and Epsom salts. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:16:38:21 - 00:16:39:22):
Oh, my gosh.
**Chip** (00:16:39:22 - 00:16:44:12):
That big shirt looks like big fun. Thomas, that is it. That's a that's a great design.
**Thomas** (00:16:44:12 - 00:16:52:12):
It's the best. It's, It makes me feel good. I'm very glad it is here on my body.
**Chip** (00:16:52:14 - 00:16:55:07):
I know we're both on very little sleep right now.
**Thomas** (00:16:55:09 - 00:16:56:03):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:16:56:05 - 00:17:14:14):
And I think that's why we're feeling good. I will say this, I spent you spent a great week, like, I think some time outdoors. Get you had some fun. I spent a lot of it in this basement right here in the home studio. We had, speaking of walking on the ocean.
**Thomas** (00:17:14:20 - 00:17:15:20):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:17:15:22 - 00:17:20:11):
Last Tuesday, it was last Tuesday night. We we recorded the podcast, went about my day, and.
**Thomas** (00:17:20:11 - 00:17:24:14):
You played Toad the Wet Sprocket at home edition.
**Chip** (00:17:24:16 - 00:17:37:13):
I got the game. I got the game. Toad the wet sprocket to take home. Like when you would get, like, Wheel of Fortune. It's like, get the fun at home. I got the toad, the wet sprocket. I had a I had a number of wet sprockets in my basement.
**Thomas** (00:17:37:13 - 00:17:45:01):
You got to walk in the ocean in your basement. It's so bizarre to me. It's like it's summer. That's not when your basement floods.
**Chip** (00:17:45:06 - 00:18:01:10):
No, no, it's when our basement floods. So we've never had a flood in the basement. We have this vintage basement. As you know, we got this great black and red carpeting. Got the, got the whole look. This is not like a studio. This is just what our basement looks like. It was literally a speakeasy back in the 60s and 70s.
And, like, we but we, of course, we had this, you know, 100 year storm that they took with it. Now we have every other week. Yeah. It's just this crazy rainstorm. And, I happened to walk down in the basement and just heard gurgling, and I was like. And like, just water, just moving. I was like, this is.
That can't be good. All right. Here where our studios section is just. There's water everywhere, like, the cameras, the lights, everything. Luckily they're, you know, on tripods or whatever. So it was like, luckily I did it didn't get much damage done, but it was all over. I didn't know what it was, but of course, it's pouring rain and, just an old pipe that goes through down to the sewer, that comes from the back of our house, like our kitchen or our laundry room.
And then from the roof, all the rain from the roof goes down a downspout through this pipe, that goes past our basement. And it's 100 years old, probably 120 years old. And, just that cast iron. Just couldn't take it anymore, Tommy, and just gave it all up. But luckily, my good friend, is is a is a plumber and as well as very funny comedian.
Not going to say his name because I don't know, I think he likes to be known as comedian because he's hilarious.
**Thomas** (00:19:11:02 - 00:19:18:14):
But, can we give a hint? Yes, most people would know him as in the comedy world may be more of a cable guy than a plumber.
**Chip** (00:19:18:15 - 00:19:22:21):
Yes, yes, yes, he he is a cable guy. Yes.
**Thomas** (00:19:22:22 - 00:19:24:03):
We're not giving it away.
**Chip** (00:19:24:06 - 00:19:32:00):
But his name may or may not be Larry. How great would that be if I was just friends with Larry the Cable Guy? And he was also a plumber.
**Thomas** (00:19:32:03 - 00:19:33:20):
Just a handy guy.
**Chip** (00:19:34:01 - 00:19:49:17):
He just does everything. No. A local, a local, comedian, but, is also a great plumber. Has a, a family plumbing business, and, they came out the next day, fixed it up, and we are chock full of PVC pipes in this basement right now. Tommy. Airtight.
**Thomas** (00:19:49:18 - 00:19:50:14):
The good stuff.
**Chip** (00:19:50:14 - 00:20:11:12):
Sealed. Yeah. And and, and so the good news is. So I was shop vac ING all night on Tuesday night, luckily, didn't ruin anything. And then, the next day, when they came and fix it, I got to enjoy a day's worth of basically model airplane glue fumes all throughout the house. And I was like, I'm just gonna.
I'm leaning into this one today. I'm. Yeah, I'm taking a W, and let's just, you might want to open up the windows and let this vent out or not. Let's just keep it.
**Thomas** (00:20:20:06 - 00:20:27:16):
If there's one smell that can mask cats. Yes, it might be, industrial strength plumbing, glue.
**Chip** (00:20:27:19 - 00:20:35:11):
Epoxy, baby. That's what it is. It's just, if you have if you have cats in your house and you're just like to have pet odors, like, you know, we have that problem.
**Thomas** (00:20:35:15 - 00:20:36:04):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:20:36:06 - 00:21:03:02):
Just what I want you to do is just get, like, a box fan, and then just open up a large tub of, of just construction grade epoxy and just let that flow through your house. Not only will it smell great, but you're not going to know where you are. And it's a beautiful thing. And that's it was I had my own little vacation.
Let's just say this fast. But then of course, then I saw we had then had to like just to make sure everything was dry and that that whole situation. So hopefully we're out of the woods. And, I spent all yesterday putting the studio back together. Hopefully this is looking good. We got I'm not a tech guy, but we, we got some cameras going, so I think we're,
I think we're good. Oh. I think we need to get into this now. Tommy. Yeah. I did receive a great present in the mail dispatch. Yeah, it a lot of low points this week. But we got some high points, and I got it right here. This is the. For those of you at home, the 2025 official Guinness Book of World Records.
This is not like the old paperbacks that we have. This is, hardbound coffee table book. I put it on my coffee table. So when I have guests over there, like, hey, do you know who ever climbed the deepest cave in the world? I'm like, as a matter of fact, I do. Let's just consult the good book.
**Thomas** (00:21:57:01 - 00:22:18:01):
It's the good book. It's. It's so fun to look at that. I can't even keep it. In the living room. It's, It's a baby magnet, dude, the baby is just. She's coming over. She's flipping the thing. She's immediately trying to rip out pages. Rip. Really attractive to a, a one year olds. I.
**Chip** (00:22:18:02 - 00:22:20:17):
I could see that. I could definitely see that big color scheme.
**Thomas** (00:22:20:17 - 00:22:38:13):
We just talked about, like, you know, digging in a little bit, having some talking points. And every time I tried, I mean, like, I just, I couldn't do it when the baby was awake. Yeah. She would just go absolutely nuts. She loves the good book. Bonkers baby. Billy's Bible bonkers. Yeah. Yeah.
**Chip** (00:22:38:15 - 00:22:40:22):
That's of course, Righteous Gemstones.
**Thomas** (00:22:41:00 - 00:22:41:19):
Continue.
**Chip** (00:22:41:21 - 00:22:49:23):
All right. Let's. So, I think we dug in. We found a couple of fun vacation related, tropical adjacent.
**Thomas** (00:22:50:04 - 00:22:50:14):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:22:50:18 - 00:23:04:07):
World records. Because I was like, people. I feel like people in the tropical world, they get a reputation for being maybe not the most industrious people. They're kicking back. They're having to. They've changed. They're.
**Thomas** (00:23:04:09 - 00:23:11:03):
They're so content with their life. They're so content with their life that they don't need to push for achievements.
**Chip** (00:23:11:05 - 00:23:16:04):
Yeah. And we learned through this good book that that is definitely not the case. There's a.
**Thomas** (00:23:16:05 - 00:23:17:04):
Couple of case it there's.
**Chip** (00:23:17:04 - 00:23:44:08):
Many burnt ones out there who are setting the world on fire, breaking records. Right. And chicks snapping necks. Yeah, I'm here for it. I'm ready to go. Can I, can I can I start with one? Yes. All right. I want to see. I found a bunch, and I'm very excited about this. Let's go with.
Let's do this. Let's go with this. This dude is. By the way, I will say this about every one of these burnt ones who set a record for something beach related are all named Chad or Chase. They all are. And now my name is Chip, so I really can't talk. But every time there's no Brian's, there's no Ned's.
No. There's no yeah. Apologies. There's no Thomases. It's all Chase or Chad's and but the chase is the Chad's the world there. I say one thing. They are chasing some world records and they. Yeah, yeah. All right. This one is tropical adjacent, little surfing adjacent. But I thought this was a fun one. Thomas. Yeah. Chad Caruso, we got to talk about him.
**Thomas** (00:24:28:01 - 00:24:29:04):
All right.
**Chip** (00:24:29:06 - 00:24:43:07):
Few years ago, he set the record for the fastest cross song of the United States on. Do you want to take a guess what type of vehicle he crossed the United States on?
**Thomas** (00:24:43:11 - 00:24:47:20):
Chad Caruso crossed the United States. Is it motorized? Can I ask that?
**Chip** (00:24:47:22 - 00:24:55:07):
It is not. As far as I know, these things can be motorized. I don't believe it is.
**Thomas** (00:24:55:09 - 00:25:01:17):
I'll say give me give me two. Okay, I'm going for two. I'm going to say.
**Chip** (00:25:01:19 - 00:25:09:00):
Oh, I should say this. What's the dumbest thing to cross? The United States with? Go ahead. Thomas,
**Thomas** (00:25:09:02 - 00:25:14:21):
Is it a windsurf board on wheels?
**Chip** (00:25:14:23 - 00:25:16:20):
You're in the ballpark.
**Thomas** (00:25:16:22 - 00:25:20:00):
A long board.
**Chip** (00:25:20:01 - 00:25:22:13):
It might, What do you mean by a longboard?
**Thomas** (00:25:22:15 - 00:25:25:14):
I mean like a long skateboard.
**Chip** (00:25:25:16 - 00:25:32:13):
It possibly. It's just the fastest crossing of the U.S on a skateboard, I would assume. Be a longboard. It is a skateboard.
**Thomas** (00:25:32:17 - 00:25:33:18):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:25:33:20 - 00:25:36:07):
But, Chad, it took him. Oh, that's.
**Thomas** (00:25:36:07 - 00:25:37:20):
Such a Chad thing to do.
**Chip** (00:25:37:22 - 00:25:52:02):
It's such a Chad thing to do. You know, I you're I'm going to do. I'm going to go across the U.S or what? Are you gonna take a plane? No, you're going to go bus. Train. You're going to hitchhike? I got all I got is I just got four wheels and some good vibes. That's all I need.
**Thomas** (00:25:52:02 - 00:25:55:19):
And I just kept skating.
**Chip** (00:25:55:21 - 00:26:17:03):
Yeah. He. This was the most Forrest Gump. I was thinking about. It's like Forrest Gump, but with probably an attitude. If Forrest Gump had, like, just if Forrest Gump were, were a t shirt, that's like, if skateboarding was outlaw, then only outlaws would skate. Then then yes. Instead of his. Have a nice day.
Bumper sticker.
**Thomas** (00:26:18:11 - 00:26:19:23):
**Chip** (00:26:20:21 - 00:26:27:15):
It took him 57 days, six hours, 56 minutes. So we're talking roughly so short.
**Thomas** (00:26:27:15 - 00:26:30:20):
That's so short compared to what I would think is right.
**Chip** (00:26:30:20 - 00:26:37:10):
I should have made you guess. Yeah. It was. It took about two months. That's not that long. He had to have been.
**Thomas** (00:26:37:11 - 00:26:41:05):
The organ trail took like 3 or 4 months back in the day.
**Chip** (00:26:41:06 - 00:26:42:11):
Yeah. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:26:42:11 - 00:26:43:21):
This guy's just scooting.
**Chip** (00:26:43:23 - 00:26:59:02):
Just scooting. It's all he's doing. And by the way, he had to have gone through so many. I wonder how many skateboards he went through, or at least wheels that he went through. Yeah. So I'm going to I'll look it up a little bit more. I should have researched a little bit more, but just, you know, they give you the snippets in the good book.
He went from one of your favorite spots, Tommy, Venice Beach, California, that's.
**Thomas** (00:27:04:06 - 00:27:04:14):
A love.
**Chip** (00:27:04:14 - 00:27:12:09):
Story started and he went to Virginia Beach in Virginia, 3162 miles.
**Thomas** (00:27:12:11 - 00:27:15:08):
That's big. That's that is very big.
**Chip** (00:27:15:10 - 00:27:41:06):
Yeah. So he has the Guinness Book of World Records, fastest crossing of the continental United States by a skateboard. His mom actually also holds a record. It runs in the family. Wow. She is the record for best job of pretending to be proud of her son. Like, can you just imagine, like, her bumping into her friends at the grocery store, maybe, like, so Darren's at Boston College right now.
What's she had up to? She's like, well, he's, skateboarding through Iowa at the moment. I just hope he did a sick alley over the Mississippi River. That's my only. That's the missed opportunity right there. If he if he just didn't do a quick sick Ollie. Over, over.
**Thomas** (00:27:59:08 - 00:28:01:11):
Over over a big money.
**Chip** (00:28:01:13 - 00:28:16:02):
Yeah. And, I, by the way, how many scooter DUI do you need to decide that you have to skateboard across the U.S. But he did it like he did it out of the goodness of his heart.
**Thomas** (00:28:16:08 - 00:28:16:15):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:28:16:16 - 00:28:24:15):
He's like, I'm going to accomplish stuff. This is, besides Tony Hawk. This might be the most accomplished skateboarder that I've ever heard of.
**Thomas** (00:28:24:21 - 00:28:26:22):
This is the other skateboarder you've heard of?
**Chip** (00:28:27:00 - 00:28:44:22):
Yes. There's no and not the murder one. Do you know the murder one that I could order? Yeah. There's a murder, a skater murder. His name is Gator from Florida, I believe, back in the 80s. And he was, like, this big time skateboarding. I want to say he murdered his, like, girlfriend or something. I could be wrong about that.
I forget or I forget, but, Yeah, his name was Gator, and, I believe he's still behind bars, because apparently, outlaws do skate, I've learned.
**Thomas** (00:28:55:17 - 00:28:56:22):
Oh, yeah. Dad.
**Chip** (00:28:57:00 - 00:28:57:17):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:28:57:19 - 00:29:05:10):
That's an incredible record, man. What do you know if he if there was a previous record.
**Chip** (00:29:05:12 - 00:29:11:15):
I wonder if anybody's ever tried to accomplish you. It's such a vicious distance thing.
**Thomas** (00:29:11:15 - 00:29:20:13):
Like, you got to think there's, like, some really nice downhills that, like, you can kind of catch your breath on by any uphills at all.
**Chip** (00:29:20:15 - 00:29:31:00):
Yeah. Like, are you walking it up? Is, is that was that part of the thing. Like, did you have to skate the whole time. Could you carry your skateboard up the Rocky Mountains?
**Thomas** (00:29:31:02 - 00:29:40:14):
Yeah. And you know, of course, my favorite amateur skateboarder of all time, Bart Simpson.
**Chip** (00:29:40:16 - 00:29:41:11):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:29:41:13 - 00:29:48:04):
It's like you wonder how many eat my shorts he had to drop along the way, you know? Right.
**Chip** (00:29:48:06 - 00:29:54:16):
Yeah. Just a that's a it's a lot of that's that's 3162 miles of cowabunga.
**Thomas** (00:29:54:18 - 00:30:03:00):
Yeah. There's also, quite a bit of the interstate freeways that don't even have sidewalks. Yep.
**Chip** (00:30:03:02 - 00:30:07:06):
No. So, yeah, I'm assuming he's just on the.
**Thomas** (00:30:07:08 - 00:30:08:16):
Gotta be just on the road.
**Chip** (00:30:08:22 - 00:30:29:10):
Just on the shoulder of the road. Right. Just go. Can you imagine, like going through Arizona and there's just cars whipping past, and then just like a coyote on rocket skates just going wait just so quickly past you. Like I could be doing that. I could call Acme right now, get some rock and get some rocket skates. But no, I'm going to do that.
I mean, it's got it had to have been exhausting. His core and his leg muscles are probably are just. Yeah, maybe that's what we gotta do. Maybe that's what you and I do before Hawaii.
**Thomas** (00:30:40:05 - 00:30:41:12):
Skate into shape.
**Chip** (00:30:41:14 - 00:30:47:07):
Do I leave Pennsylvania in September? Right.
**Thomas** (00:30:47:09 - 00:30:49:03):
**Chip** (00:30:49:05 - 00:30:56:23):
Take off set. You know like let my wife she can fly out in November but I'll, I'll skateboard from Pennsylvania out to LA.
**Thomas** (00:30:57:03 - 00:30:57:12):
I like.
**Chip** (00:30:57:12 - 00:30:59:18):
It. Meet up with you at LAX.
**Thomas** (00:30:59:20 - 00:31:10:15):
And the tandem skateboard across all the way to Venice and then down to down to LAX. Yeah.
I think it's pretty good. We could do the airport track shape.
**Chip** (00:31:14:03 - 00:31:16:07):
We would be in for, for Thanksgiving in Paradise.
**Thomas** (00:31:16:07 - 00:31:23:09):
Then, for me personally, like, can you skateboard? I never could, I heard I was.
**Chip** (00:31:23:10 - 00:31:26:03):
I was never good. I owned a few skateboards.
**Thomas** (00:31:26:03 - 00:31:26:14):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:31:26:16 - 00:31:33:22):
And I was always more of a BMX kid anyway, like, that was my fad, but yeah, no, I couldn't I was just I was not good at it at all.
**Thomas** (00:31:33:22 - 00:31:37:09):
Yeah, I was more of an IBS kid, but.
**Chip** (00:31:37:11 - 00:31:41:05):
Yeah. Okay. So you, you had your own version of scooting.
**Thomas** (00:31:41:07 - 00:31:47:02):
Yeah. No, I. Where's the Thomas. He's scooting again.
**Chip** (00:31:47:04 - 00:31:50:00):
He's scooting over by the ball.
**Thomas** (00:31:50:02 - 00:31:57:06):
Scooting of the ball. Dude, that's, This is why I love the the Good book.
**Chip** (00:31:57:07 - 00:32:09:23):
So yeah. Because this dude is definitely Bert one Chad Caruso if you're listening Chatter I want to talk to you like that because and we make fun and we are skateboarders are slackers. This dude is not a slacker. This dude set out for something.
**Thomas** (00:32:10:03 - 00:32:10:22):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:32:11:00 - 00:32:13:19):
And accomplished it big time.
**Thomas** (00:32:13:21 - 00:32:22:20):
Yeah. No, it's, Yeah, it's it's tough to even think about, like, just 60 days of push and kick. Push.
**Chip** (00:32:22:22 - 00:32:39:05):
Can you like, day like 18? You're just like, yeah. Oh my God, I, I'm in Oklahoma right now and it's not going well. Yeah. Maybe you just gotta keep it easy. Skating in the rain. Did he take some time off I don't know yeah. Rain skates. Rain skates aren't fun.
**Thomas** (00:32:39:07 - 00:32:57:03):
You can't I mean, you can't. You also, it can't get too cold. I don't think, like, you really have to have some weather, on your side, or else you're just stuck, I'd imagine. Yeah, I do, I do wonder if there's, like, safety things, too. Like he's on the freeway. There's no other way to do it. He was going on freeways.
**Chip** (00:32:57:05 - 00:33:05:02):
He he definitely set the record for guy who's been on who's been skateboarding on the freeway the longest without being rundown.
**Thomas** (00:33:05:04 - 00:33:10:22):
I, I do wonder if there's, like, safety equipment, you know.
**Chip** (00:33:10:23 - 00:33:11:11):
**Thomas** (00:33:11:13 - 00:33:16:19):
Does he have like, one of those hats that have little rearview mirrors kind of like.
**Chip** (00:33:16:23 - 00:33:20:11):
Oh yeah. Like a little helmet with like the. Yeah. Like the bike messenger guy. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:33:20:17 - 00:33:25:04):
Just so much repetitive like turn him back behind you like, I don't know.
**Chip** (00:33:25:06 - 00:33:25:17):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:33:25:20 - 00:33:29:09):
I think that gets tough. I think that it's tough on the neck muscles. And.
**Chip** (00:33:29:15 - 00:33:44:00):
What's, what's going on with his luggage? Like, does he have a spotter? Somebody taking his luggage to where he's going the next day, or is he just. He got a backpack and a roller behind him.
**Thomas** (00:33:44:02 - 00:33:54:04):
I mean, that's a great question. I would assume, like, it's pretty pretty planned out, like people I don't know. I know your wife does big hikes and stuff, like. Right. You kind of.
**Chip** (00:33:54:05 - 00:33:56:10):
Yeah. Where they have the luggage take like. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:33:56:11 - 00:34:05:17):
Take it. Yeah. Where like where are you going to be going? But geez. I mean I've, I've done that drive chat when I, when I came out to New York to, I.
**Chip** (00:34:05:17 - 00:34:07:13):
Do the drive when I came to your wedding. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:34:07:13 - 00:34:16:16):
Oh, yeah. It's a big drive. It's exhausting. It is sitting on your sweet tush letting a machine do the work.
**Chip** (00:34:16:18 - 00:34:18:11):
I was on cruise control for most of the time.
**Thomas** (00:34:18:11 - 00:34:23:02):
Yeah, yeah. Not even working the pedals. Yeah. Thank you. Technology.
**Chip** (00:34:23:04 - 00:34:40:17):
And this. This dude is just out there in the elements, braving it. I, you know, it's funny. I think I might have passed him when I was, when I was going to your wedding, I think I was like, there's a guy on a skateboard on the interstate right now that might have been Jack. So, what do you think his next feat will be like?
Do you stop there? Like, is he going to skateboard through Europe?
**Thomas** (00:34:47:00 - 00:34:47:17):
**Chip** (00:34:47:19 - 00:34:49:18):
Canadian snowshoe?
**Thomas** (00:34:49:20 - 00:35:01:04):
He is just, continually right now, skating around the deck. The deck of a carnival cruise ship. He's taking this thing to the UK.
**Chip** (00:35:01:06 - 00:35:09:04):
I think that's the way to do it, I think. Yeah. And he's he's got gotta learn to skate on the other side of the road. That's going to be difficult.
**Thomas** (00:35:09:04 - 00:35:09:09):
For.
**Chip** (00:35:09:15 - 00:35:11:03):
Me. I think that be the toughest part. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:35:11:03 - 00:35:21:12):
It's so ingrained. It's so ingrained. Yeah. It's tough. Did you, did you do a lot of driving when you were in the UK.
**Chip** (00:35:21:14 - 00:35:31:12):
When I was in Ireland. Yeah. I was never in the UK but yeah, when I was in Ireland I did, I did some driving, did yeah, a decent amount. And you get used to it pretty quickly. I think we.
**Thomas** (00:35:31:14 - 00:35:52:18):
I, I needed the G.P.S.. I needed like the instructions like, sure it was, it was very easy for me to stay locked in when, you know, British ladies telling me, turn right, turn left. I thought that was very helpful. If I was just trying to get back to some place I'd been before, I started to drift over to the other side.
**Chip** (00:35:52:20 - 00:35:58:06):
Okay, I see what you're saying. So, yeah, you need to stay on the straight. Narrow like you need that. You need that regiment.
**Thomas** (00:35:58:09 - 00:36:04:08):
For whatever reason, I felt more comfortable. Maybe I wasn't a screwed up at all. I always had the GPS, but, like, that was my little safety blanket.
**Chip** (00:36:04:11 - 00:36:26:22):
I will say I did bully my brother in law Justin, into taking it from the rental place in Dublin and taking the first leg, so he had to drive through Dublin, Ireland and then once we got out to the countryside, then I took over and I did a lot of the I think I did a lot of driving through the countryside, and then I did some of that on the West Coast.
I did, I think, drive some of it up to Galway, but yeah, yeah, it's but it was also beautiful too, because you then you're driving through and I remember like we're going through Limerick and I think. Yeah. Prim Ireland, we saw Trim Castle and it's just beautiful. So you want to be looking around.
**Thomas** (00:36:41:16 - 00:36:42:17):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:36:42:19 - 00:36:55:07):
But you also have to be like I'm on the left hand side of the road. I need to make sure I'm, you know, ten and two here. And although I, it's, it's Ireland so I think they're three and eight. It's, you know, it's the metric system. I never understood it.
**Thomas** (00:36:55:10 - 00:36:56:11):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:36:56:13 - 00:37:19:00):
But, by the way, that is one thing I do like about the Guinness Book of World Records. Every record I saw, they put it in standard measurement and the metric system because they're like the metric system is what science and 99% of the world use. But dum dums in the United States love reading this thing. Yeah, and if we tell them how many kilometers somebody went, they do.
They will not carry.
**Thomas** (00:37:20:01 - 00:37:23:01):
It means nothing to me. It means almost nothing to me.
**Chip** (00:37:23:05 - 00:37:36:16):
Yeah, because could you imagine if I was like, hey, do you know that Chad Caruso, he went 8724 miles on a on a on a skateboard? You're like, I yeah, I don't know what that is. Is that, is that to the store and back?
**Thomas** (00:37:36:18 - 00:37:37:09):
I have no.
**Chip** (00:37:37:09 - 00:38:06:09):
Idea. But we talked about it but yeah. No going through. And then like I remember going through was like basically one long day where we went through most of the countryside like, you know, kind of across from Dublin down to Dingle, our favorite spot. Right. You probably remember this right before you get into Dingle Lake, you have to go over basically these mountains, these like green giant hills and you're kind of like, you know, it's these winding roads that I'm a it's winding roads, little rainy because it's Ireland.
And so you got to watch that. But then I'm seeing some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my entire life. Yeah. And then you come across and you crest over that, and then you just see maybe the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. And then you're like, I also have three other people in the car that I don't want dead.
And then I get angry and I say, guys, we should have skateboarded across Ireland. That's what we all should have. We all been a lot happier if we would have just skateboarded across this great island of green.
**Thomas** (00:38:34:09 - 00:38:35:15):
That's how you take it all in.
**Chip** (00:38:35:15 - 00:38:52:18):
So what I want to do right now is I want to announce Thanksgiving, a Paradise. We're going to Hawaii this Thanksgiving. I'm doing a show at the Blue Note Jazz Club in Waikiki the night before Thanksgiving. Come out and see us next year. Thomas and I are leading a skateboarding tour through Ireland.
**Thomas** (00:38:53:00 - 00:38:53:13):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:38:53:15 - 00:39:01:13):
It's going to be the entire month of September. We're going to start in Dublin. I'm going to go down the coast, and I think we're just going to circumvent the entire nation.
**Thomas** (00:39:01:13 - 00:39:19:21):
Yeah, let let's circle it up and it's all going to culminate in 2026. Is chip chant trees tingle in your dingle. Where he's going to do a brand new hour at the the Dingle Theater there. It's going to be unbelievable.
**Chip** (00:39:19:23 - 00:39:33:12):
Oh our good buddy Blake Wexler, my good friend Blake is he's heading to Dingle and Galway in the very. I don't think he's out there now, but he's going in the near future. He was asking me for some suggestions, and I was like, Go to Kennedy. And he's like, I already saw Kennedy. He's on the list. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:39:33:14 - 00:39:37:17):
Yeah, yeah. And then, what's the ice cream place? Is it Murphy's?
**Chip** (00:39:37:19 - 00:39:38:18):
I want to say, yeah.
**Thomas** (00:39:38:20 - 00:39:48:17):
Yeah. Now that was that was some good stuff. Like, it was such good ice cream that I literally went in there and, like, was like, I want to open one of these in the United States.
**Chip** (00:39:48:18 - 00:39:50:08):
And we're like, what did Murphy say?
**Thomas** (00:39:50:10 - 00:39:51:10):
They said, no.
**Chip** (00:39:51:12 - 00:39:51:21):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:39:52:02 - 00:40:13:06):
They're like, they're like, it's not. It's nothing against you. They literally said that they only make their ice cream from a specific type of cow, and it would be impossible to mass produce it without a growing the population of that type of cow past what they could handle there. So that it's been looked into before.
**Chip** (00:40:13:08 - 00:40:28:08):
Is that why you keep bringing you up on the podcast like, hey, I'm breeding cows in my small backyard in Los Angeles. Like I you keep every once in a while, like I'll be talking about you were like, you know, on the podcast for listeners, you know, there is like, oh Chip, how was your week? You know. Oh, pretty good.
You know, I had this show, I did this and you're like, oh, yeah, I was breeding cows out in the backyard. And I feel bad because I'm not a great listener. So I just sort of glossed over it. And I was like, well, how's your wife? How's the kid? And I should have dug in more to be like, how are those cows you're breeding in the backyard?
**Thomas** (00:40:41:15 - 00:40:53:01):
I appreciate you bringing it up. And, you know, most of my frustration lies in that I. I've got these two cows in my backyard, and I don't think they're attracted to each other.
**Chip** (00:40:53:03 - 00:40:53:18):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:40:53:20 - 00:40:57:19):
Like I just cannot no matter what I do, I can't set the mood well enough.
**Chip** (00:40:57:20 - 00:40:58:19):
For.
**Thomas** (00:40:58:19 - 00:41:03:07):
Them to make a baby cow. And it's wildly frustrating.
**Chip** (00:41:03:09 - 00:41:11:08):
Okay, most cows are ladies too. Have you looked into that? That are just two lady cows?
Yeah, I think we've just, I think we I think we have just landed on something. Ladies, gentlemen, Guinness Book of World Records, July of 2025. The man who's tried the most times to mate two lady cows together to get baby cows.
**Thomas** (00:41:29:11 - 00:41:43:00):
Boy. All right, put this in. Put this in the file. Another another t boner. Yeah. Another another t bone. Mystic.
**Chip** (00:41:43:02 - 00:41:52:00):
I'm just. You just say like that is the the LAPD or like. Yeah, LAPD or maybe, like animal control.
**Thomas** (00:41:52:00 - 00:41:52:16):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:41:52:18 - 00:42:00:00):
Body cam video of just bring you to the ground in the backyard with, like, four lady cows walking around you.
Just like I just wanted to make delicious ice cream. My. I just wanted a big, delicious Irish rice grave, and they're like, get you out, sir. You, sir, hands behind your back.
And the cows are murder in the back. You're like.
You're like, shut up, Tina in a row. And it's like. It is like, shut up, Marie.
And you're like. And it's like we are. There's two lady cows. You're like.
I did give them lady names. Yes, I did give them their names. I'm just trying to make that.
And they're just like, sir, you. You can't make two lady.
Cows, but they're Irish. They're in the eye. They drive on the left hand side, the two lady cows. Me. And they make delicious peanut butter Brickle ice cream.
I think that's your that arrest video right there. That TikTok video is going to number one.
**Thomas** (00:42:47:01 - 00:43:02:20):
That would end up in my algorithm. Right now they're showing me a lot of corn flakes. I had the most beautiful TikTok algorithm on the planet going. It was just beaches. And then, like Kenny Powers quotes, like.
**Chip** (00:43:02:22 - 00:43:13:03):
I started out with like, like mental health advice and sort of like, stoic, like, this really matters. Everything's cool. I'm like, oh, man, this is just this is just great. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:43:13:05 - 00:43:20:19):
But like, I watched one video too long and like, it was some people getting kicked off a cruise ship.
**Chip** (00:43:20:21 - 00:43:21:12):
Yeah. So it.
**Thomas** (00:43:21:12 - 00:43:22:14):
Was like it was cruise.
**Chip** (00:43:22:14 - 00:43:27:06):
Ship. They get you in the back door that way. They're like, oh, you want to see relaxing vacation video? You're like, yes.
**Thomas** (00:43:27:08 - 00:43:40:14):
It was in my it was in my Q zone slightly, you know, it was cruise. But these people were just like, have you ever been kicked off of a cruise for this? Like, they're making us, d whatever. What's it called when you get off?
**Chip** (00:43:40:16 - 00:43:47:08):
Boat? Oh, yeah. D disembarking part d I know it's shocking, right? Yes.
**Thomas** (00:43:47:10 - 00:43:49:11):
They got kicked off.
**Chip** (00:43:49:13 - 00:43:50:00):
They kicked.
**Thomas** (00:43:50:00 - 00:44:02:18):
And so they literally they're going down the ramp. They're walking down the thing and just, like, talking mad trash about whatever their cruise line was that kicked them off. Yeah. And from then on, it's been amazing.
**Chip** (00:44:02:18 - 00:44:04:03):
This whole place is a circus.
You're like, ma'am, it's Carnival cruise lines. Yeah. Calm down.
**Thomas** (00:44:07:04 - 00:44:08:18):
You knew it when you bought the ticket.
**Chip** (00:44:08:23 - 00:44:09:15):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:44:09:17 - 00:44:22:22):
So now now all I get, like. And then it went into people getting kicked off of airplanes, and now it's just people screaming at people like it really took a toxic turn. I didn't care for it. I don't know how to pull out.
**Chip** (00:44:23:00 - 00:44:41:02):
Yeah, I have a there's got to be a way to like reshuffle or reset. You would think like it's like it's like I just have, like people like finding out that their son is a serial killer, like that type of stuff or like, what you search that. I searched for that. I did search for that. I will I will admit.
**Thomas** (00:44:41:07 - 00:44:48:00):
There's also a there's another very, like, frustrating lane of just like, women crying. Have you seen this?
**Chip** (00:44:48:02 - 00:44:51:08):
No. I mean, I've seen women cry before.
**Thomas** (00:44:51:10 - 00:44:59:15):
It's something they do. But women crying. And then there's text about just this horrible life situation, a relationship they're going through.
**Chip** (00:44:59:16 - 00:45:04:09):
Yes. And where she's not talking, but the the scroll is going through. Yeah, I have seen that.
**Thomas** (00:45:04:09 - 00:45:27:16):
And I'm like, this is I mean, I, I hope it's made up. It's so depressing. Like, these stories are awful and they're just like trying to get views or do whatever you're trying to do on online. But it's just like, what part of human beings, like, are attracted to this sad bucket? That's the sad slop.
**Chip** (00:45:27:18 - 00:45:55:09):
Yeah. And we do. We watch it then because it's again, there's conflict and the end. It's like we're just trying to avoid trying to avoid that conflict. But like TikTok does it. It's it's like I get that algorithm where it's like, again, it started out and then it'll just be like, it wants you to do well, there's something about the algorithm or that AI god that's in that phone that is directing the universe.
Yeah, that's like AI chip, I want you to do well. I want you to be productive. I want you to feel healthy. I want you to be physically healthy, mentally healthy. So then it's just like it just serves me things. I'm just, like, flipping through my phone at night. It's like, all right, here's a video five hacks to change your brain.
You're like, great love. You know, it's like, here's a Greek philosophers take on life. You're like, yes. And it's like become more productive in these three steps. And you're like, absolutely. My life is about to change. And then it's like fat guy on a zip line and you're just like, damn it, fat guy on a zip line wins again.
I'm just going to keep scrolling like I was just about to put my phone down. Do some burpees. Yeah. Meditate. Then they show me, a lady carrying a cake and falling into her nephew on his birthday. You know, like, that's. I was so close. Like they were giving me all the tools to get out and accomplish things because there are so many good things on the internet, and they just the tools.
But then they know just that fourth or fifth video, just boom.
**Thomas** (00:46:58:04 - 00:47:05:15):
It can feel you getting too inspired and then they bring you on back down. But, circling back to the cows and in my backyard.
**Chip** (00:47:05:18 - 00:47:06:20):
Yeah,
**Thomas** (00:47:06:22 - 00:47:18:21):
I do think and this just crossed my line and I'll tell you and our writers room type way, the little piece of juvenile magic in my mind that I think would be a really nice button to something like this.
**Chip** (00:47:19:02 - 00:47:20:01):
Yes.
**Thomas** (00:47:20:03 - 00:47:37:12):
Is the guy who bought these very expensive cows, and, yeah, he wants them to start his own ice cream situation. It was hard to get him there, and he needs them to breed. But they only want a 16 chip.
And just the frustration of these cows having a preference that is outside of the regular positioning for cows, is really ruining his life. He's probably got his back up against the wall. Maybe he overspent. Maybe he, Hank King's laid the situation and overextended himself. And now he needs to sell these cows.
**Chip** (00:48:02:08 - 00:48:19:16):
I think that I think that's what it is. Is just. I think you got just Baskin Robbins 69 flavors right there is just. By the way, my my cat Gary is, joining us right now because I think he he heard us talking about those mammals. So he's ready to go. But, Thomas, that that is just. Yeah.
It's like you're just he's just he's screaming at these cows.
**Thomas** (00:48:23:06 - 00:48:23:12):
Just.
**Chip** (00:48:23:14 - 00:48:24:01):
At the wrong.
**Thomas** (00:48:24:01 - 00:48:28:03):
Station, like, do what you're supposed to do. Yeah.
**Chip** (00:48:28:05 - 00:48:31:11):
And seen, like, just try it. Action.
**Thomas** (00:48:31:13 - 00:48:32:04):
Yep.
**Chip** (00:48:32:05 - 00:48:41:07):
He's videotaping it for some reason, which is just. I don't need to know why, but he's going for it. And they just. These cows are stubborn. They don't obey.
**Thomas** (00:48:41:09 - 00:49:02:23):
They don't obey, but they're just they've got their own, freaky ness. They've got their own preferences. And then I think, like, you know, in the TV version it's one thing, but in the raunchy comedy version, you end up seeing it later on when you don't expect it. And it's a shocking visual.
**Chip** (00:49:03:01 - 00:49:03:07):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:49:03:07 - 00:49:05:08):
Shocking show, shocking visual.
**Chip** (00:49:05:08 - 00:49:20:01):
I, I, I think it'd be very shocking. Although I have seen, I have read The Far Side many times. These cows, they're driving cars, they're up on roofs. They're painting paintings. They're very distressed. These cows in Gary Larson's world.
**Thomas** (00:49:20:03 - 00:49:25:09):
I know la he gave them all the respect they deserve.
**Chip** (00:49:25:11 - 00:49:30:02):
Oh, you said you had a, a Guinness record that you wanted to share.
**Thomas** (00:49:30:02 - 00:49:47:13):
Oh yeah. Yeah. This this is right up, our alley. It's right in the wheelhouse for the burnt ones. And I think we can't do it this Thanksgiving because we only have around 720 tickets.
**Chip** (00:49:47:13 - 00:49:52:03):
Yes. Available. Yeah. It's it's about a three. The moment. Yes. Seat room. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:49:52:05 - 00:50:05:01):
Total. And that's, that's not what's left, but that's, it's how many total. So we could not break this record, but the record for the most people wearing Hawaiian shirts in one place, most.
**Chip** (00:50:05:01 - 00:50:06:19):
People wearing Hawaiian shirts in one place.
**Thomas** (00:50:06:19 - 00:50:13:10):
Okay, I think we can take this one. It's only 1254. I think this is the record we could set.
**Chip** (00:50:13:12 - 00:50:19:23):
Oh, that's the new that's that's our new goalpost right there. Thomas.
**Thomas** (00:50:19:23 - 00:50:21:10):
Yeah, and it was at.
**Chip** (00:50:21:11 - 00:50:23:07):
1200 people.
**Thomas** (00:50:23:09 - 00:50:25:04):
Yeah, it's 1254.
**Chip** (00:50:25:05 - 00:50:25:23):
We can do that.
**Thomas** (00:50:26:01 - 00:50:29:14):
This has been broken someplace. You just you just have to think it like, you know.
**Chip** (00:50:29:19 - 00:50:31:23):
Well, just at a Jimmy Buffett concert alone.
**Thomas** (00:50:31:23 - 00:50:47:17):
A Jimmy Buffett concert, a stick figure concert. Like, I think there's a lot of places this could have been toppled, but this happened at a hockey game in Orlando, the Orlando Solar Bears ice hockey team.
**Chip** (00:50:47:17 - 00:50:48:13):
Solar bears.
**Thomas** (00:50:48:16 - 00:50:50:15):
The solar bears, your favorite type of bear?
**Chip** (00:50:50:15 - 00:50:52:04):
Oh, shows like polar bears.
**Thomas** (00:50:52:06 - 00:50:53:08):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:50:53:10 - 00:51:00:07):
But it's down in Orlando now. It's okay. Yeah. My favorite. Or you know, grizzly brown polar solar. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:51:00:07 - 00:51:05:21):
That's right. Yeah. What do you think's the most aggressive bear out of those four.
**Chip** (00:51:05:23 - 00:51:13:18):
Well anybody from Orlando a bear in Orlando. Really about a blow that bears doing. Yeah. That's solar bears by far.
**Thomas** (00:51:13:20 - 00:51:16:19):
By far he was a brown bear but he's white.
**Chip** (00:51:16:21 - 00:51:19:02):
So like bear now just from the just down.
**Thomas** (00:51:19:02 - 00:51:21:02):
Just got a little dusting.
**Chip** (00:51:21:04 - 00:51:22:01):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:51:22:03 - 00:51:23:12):
Gary going did.
**Chip** (00:51:23:12 - 00:51:27:22):
You see what he just did it. Just Gary you're what's going on. But you're not going over it. He's not going.
**Thomas** (00:51:27:23 - 00:51:46:11):
Oh he heard a Whitman Gary Larsen I think that's the thought is like oh they're talking about me. Yeah I think yeah, I think the solar bear's going to be dangerous. It's also going to like, you know, have a little bit of that Scarface culture rub off on them to hold.
**Chip** (00:51:46:12 - 00:52:02:15):
Hold on just a second. This cat is going to you're going to break something. Oh. Get okay. Go ahead. There you go. It's, He's getting a mischievous Tommy. He's he's getting mischievous.
**Thomas** (00:52:02:17 - 00:52:04:09):
I mean, we all he's in this terrible.
**Chip** (00:52:04:12 - 00:52:12:07):
He's in his terrible twelves right now. So, So. Okay, 1200 people, minor league hockey game.
**Thomas** (00:52:12:09 - 00:52:12:23):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:52:13:01 - 00:52:15:21):
First of all, I something I do respect.
**Thomas** (00:52:16:01 - 00:52:16:14):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:52:16:16 - 00:52:33:10):
There's you are in Orlando, Florida. Other than that, there's no reason to be wearing a Hawaiian shirt to a hockey game. It's not exactly an appropriate place to wear a Hawaiian shirt, but I think that's I think it's where we align with the solar bears.
**Thomas** (00:52:33:12 - 00:52:34:12):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:52:34:14 - 00:52:39:12):
Is that there are other places you can wear Hawaiian anywhere.
**Thomas** (00:52:39:12 - 00:52:43:01):
You can bring that good vibe anywhere.
**Chip** (00:52:43:03 - 00:52:45:19):
Weddings, job interviews.
**Thomas** (00:52:45:19 - 00:52:46:11):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:52:46:13 - 00:52:47:20):
Arraignments.
**Thomas** (00:52:47:22 - 00:52:48:11):
**Chip** (00:52:48:13 - 00:52:49:11):
Funerals.
**Thomas** (00:52:49:16 - 00:52:51:04):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:52:51:06 - 00:52:56:09):
See that I see. Okay. Now I'm turning back. Now I'm more of a fan of the solar bears.
**Thomas** (00:52:56:11 - 00:53:21:18):
Yeah. So. And, talking about that, too, like, this is, it's definitely Hawaiian shirt, but more formally, it's an aloha shirt. Yes. And I found out the differences, like an aloha shirt. According to what I've read, I could be totally wrong. Yeah, but in a aloha shirt is like a type. It's a nice one. It's one that, like, you might wear to a funeral.
You might wear to business function. Okay? Like, okay, it is the real deal. That's like, respectable shirt for almost any social activity.
**Chip** (00:53:31:23 - 00:53:36:08):
Okay. Maybe. Oh, like, would it be fabric wise to maybe like a silk or something like that?
**Thomas** (00:53:36:14 - 00:53:49:04):
I don't think it's based on that, but I do think the patterns are generally a little more toned down and refined. Okay. Like a quote unquote, typically loud Hawaiian shirt.
**Chip** (00:53:49:05 - 00:53:56:10):
Hawaiian shirt. Okay. Yeah. I see what you're saying. Yeah. The patterns are so complicated. They do. That's why they cost so much money.
**Thomas** (00:53:56:12 - 00:54:12:22):
Yeah. It's it's sad. It's it is. It is like big fun shirt company does have some Dan Flash's vibe to it. It's like every shirt there is exactly my style. And a lot of the guys in there look just like me.
**Chip** (00:54:13:00 - 00:54:16:01):
Big fun shirts is our Dan Flash's.
**Thomas** (00:54:16:01 - 00:54:17:07):
It's our Dan Flash's.
**Chip** (00:54:17:09 - 00:54:18:03):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:54:18:05 - 00:54:23:21):
Yeah. We would skip lunch and spend our day, on it.
**Chip** (00:54:23:23 - 00:54:27:22):
So. Okay. 1254.
**Thomas** (00:54:28:01 - 00:54:28:09):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:54:28:09 - 00:54:41:05):
People with Hawaiians on low shirts, whatever we can, we can. That's a 2026 goal. I yeah, we get together, we're going to get in the Guinness Book. Our Guinness Book will be in the probably 2027 edition.
**Thomas** (00:54:41:07 - 00:54:44:00):
I can't wait for 2027 to be in the good book.
**Chip** (00:54:44:02 - 00:55:00:13):
Yeah, yeah, it's I'm ready for it. Like, that's what we need to I that's what we're doing. I we can definitely do that. So if you're listening at home and you don't have your Hawaiian shirt yet like first of all, go get the white shirt. By the way, what's the website for the,
**Thomas** (00:55:00:15 - 00:55:06:17):
I think it's big fun shirt. Coco. Com or big fan shirt company.com some you can just Google it. So probably.
**Chip** (00:55:06:17 - 00:55:19:08):
Yeah. Get yourself one of those and I start I'm Tony Thomas I'm wearing these white shirts around. And I think I'm just getting better vibes than I have in a number of years from people.
You you wore one.
**Thomas** (00:55:20:09 - 00:55:22:11):
To, the live it this weekend.
**Chip** (00:55:22:11 - 00:55:40:05):
I did yeah. Oh that's right. Yeah. This weekend, I helped host the it was the 40th anniversary of Live Aid. I think we talked about that. Yeah. And, in Philadelphia, it was, by the way, amazing show. Like so many great, talented musicians in Philly doing their thing, having a lot of fun. And I was just sort of along for the ride.
But I wore my my new Hawaiian, my new old Hawaiian that I got the vintage shop and, people were vibing on it. People just we're we're enjoying it. I'm going to see fish tonight. Just like we saw just a couple weeks ago. Yeah. I haven't seen the band fish in 15 years. Probably. But we're going tonight, and, I'm throwing the Hawaiian on.
I'm just. And I want to hopefully get, get some if you're going to get vibes anywhere, it's from a fish show. So let's just first of all say that.
**Thomas** (00:56:06:15 - 00:56:07:06):
Yeah.
**Chip** (00:56:07:08 - 00:56:11:14):
And yeah, I want to get some good vibes from from that. But I'll be where my Hawaiian.
**Thomas** (00:56:11:16 - 00:56:14:21):
Oh, dude, I'm so, so jealous. It's going to be so fun, man.
**Chip** (00:56:14:23 - 00:56:15:08):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:56:15:09 - 00:56:36:09):
I'm psyched. That'll be, beautiful. And, I love that you're not getting caught up in the. Apparently, I had no idea, but apparently there is a rift between Phish fans and goose fans. As a lot of people told us on the internet, when we talked about the goose show, we went to a.
**Chip** (00:56:36:09 - 00:56:44:15):
Little bit, by the way, rift is one of fish's most popular albums, by the way. So you're using the correct terminology. Thomas. Good for you.
**Thomas** (00:56:44:17 - 00:56:47:07):
I mean, I that was completely by accident.
**Chip** (00:56:47:07 - 00:56:48:20):
Do you play Wordle?
**Thomas** (00:56:48:22 - 00:56:49:16):
No.
**Chip** (00:56:49:18 - 00:57:05:08):
Okay. You don't. All right. Today's Wordle. It's five five letter word. Was also the name of another Phish album. Just happened to be. I can say it now because this is going to come out a few days later. So, you're. And here, hoist, hoist, hoist. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:57:05:10 - 00:57:19:08):
Do you think that that is on purpose, or is it just a coincidence that they've made so many albums that, of course, a lot of them are going to end up as clues.
**Chip** (00:57:19:10 - 00:57:23:07):
As clues to worlds? Yeah, I think it's just the sheer volume.
**Thomas** (00:57:23:11 - 00:57:27:16):
Yeah, it's just a just a dictionary, basically their, their catalog at this point.
**Chip** (00:57:27:17 - 00:57:44:21):
Exactly. Yeah. But yeah, but there is a rift, between the goose. I don't have a goose t shirt. I just want to wear a goose shirt. If I didn't have my Hawaiian just to, like, represent. But there's a big overlap of people who are fans of both. But, man, there are also some people who are definitely not.
Definitely. Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:57:45:16 - 00:57:53:18):
Very, very harsh in the comment section. And I did enjoy that. They were taking the heat off of me for a little bit once.
**Chip** (00:57:53:20 - 00:57:54:21):
You. Yeah, that was nice.
**Thomas** (00:57:54:22 - 00:57:59:23):
You and I were relatively unscathed. They turned a lot of the vitriol on each other.
**Chip** (00:58:00:01 - 00:58:05:08):
It's all about a comment. You have to have a common enemy, and then they drop their swords, you know.
**Thomas** (00:58:05:11 - 00:58:09:03):
But you're talking about wearing a goo shirt to a fish thing.
**Chip** (00:58:09:05 - 00:58:09:14):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (00:58:09:14 - 00:58:13:13):
Wearing a Hawaiian is the exact opposite. That's bridging gaps.
**Chip** (00:58:13:15 - 00:58:15:18):
Yeah, that's bringing people together I know.
**Thomas** (00:58:15:18 - 00:58:34:13):
Yeah. Under under the warm tropical sun. Even though you may be very far away from it. Dude. Well, I'm excited, man, that sounds awesome. Love a nice concert, dude. And it was so good. And you're going you're going with some of the same crew?
**Chip** (00:58:34:15 - 00:58:49:03):
Yeah. Going, Brian and Kosher will be there. You met those guys? I don't think Chris is coming down for it. He might be, but, Yeah. And then go with my buddy Carl. We're going to meet up with a couple friends, and then it's just like meeting up with. That's the nice part. Like, we're going to go and probably meet up in the parking lot ahead of time.
Meet up with some friends. My friend from, from third grade, he's now a brewer at one of the big breweries in town. Oh, nice. He's going to have some some beers and stuff. So it's. Yeah, we're going to have some, we're going to some fun. It's going to be good time. It's just nice to get together just again vibe with people.
And that's what we're trying to do here.
**Thomas** (00:59:05:15 - 00:59:23:07):
Yeah. And do you want to publicly comment on this? I know a couple weeks back you laid out five ironclad rules for attending concerts, and you have broken one of them two concerts back to back. And that is no more than groups of four.
**Chip** (00:59:23:09 - 00:59:38:11):
I know. Yes, I will say in my defense, we only had four people in the seats at one time. That's true, because for better or worse, you and James had to sit in a different section because we just had tickets in a different section.
**Thomas** (00:59:38:11 - 00:59:39:15):
We were on our own journey.
**Chip** (00:59:39:17 - 00:59:57:23):
Right. So I think so I, I'm gonna I'm gonna say that I don't think I, I got that one and I will say for this one, what we do because this is the vibe my buddy Carl and I, we go, we have lawn tickets. So it's an outdoor concert amphitheater. It's the main music center. It's beautiful. It's great.
Yeah, it's in Philadelphia, but you feel like you're in the middle of the woods. It's awesome. And, We like to just roam around the lawn.
**Thomas** (01:00:07:01 - 01:00:08:17):
You sound like my cows.
**Chip** (01:00:08:19 - 01:00:09:21):
All we do.
**Thomas** (01:00:09:23 - 01:00:10:03):
Is.
**Chip** (01:00:10:03 - 01:00:12:17):
Just roam around the lawn and don't mate.
**Thomas** (01:00:12:19 - 01:00:13:14):
Yeah.
**Chip** (01:00:13:15 - 01:00:23:02):
And that's what. That's what Carl and I are going to be doing this evening. We're just gonna be roaming around a lawn, not mating, not producing ice cream.
**Thomas** (01:00:23:04 - 01:00:27:17):
You've never made ice cream. As far as I can tell. It's, been a big disappointment.
**Chip** (01:00:27:19 - 01:00:45:12):
It really. It really has. But maybe someday I will, get your steam back up for me. Make you feel better about me by skateboarding across the United States in 56 days?
**Thomas** (01:00:45:14 - 01:00:49:16):
Yeah. I mean, to see that record transfer from a Chad to a chip.
**Chip** (01:00:49:18 - 01:00:51:04):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (01:00:51:06 - 01:00:53:12):
Now we're talking. That's that that's.
**Chip** (01:00:53:17 - 01:00:59:20):
That's what we talk. Goose fish rivalry chads and chips. That's, That's when it gets heated. Baby. Heated?
**Thomas** (01:01:00:02 - 01:01:02:10):
Yeah. We've talked a lot of salacious stuff.
**Chip** (01:01:02:10 - 01:01:07:14):
Chip. Yeah. We have. Sorry for being so controversial this episode. Everybody.
**Thomas** (01:01:07:16 - 01:01:15:08):
Yeah, it's, it's been tough. Okay, here's something we're going to be talking about. Switching gears a little bit.
**Chip** (01:01:15:08 - 01:01:16:12):
Yeah.
**Thomas** (01:01:16:14 - 01:01:18:14):
We have a burnt one's Hall of Fame.
**Chip** (01:01:18:16 - 01:01:20:06):
Maybe we do.
**Thomas** (01:01:20:08 - 01:01:51:08):
Many, many great people have been put into it. But one stands above the rest. Kind of like one of the inspirations for this podcast. Four things we're trying to do. It's Mr. Jimmy Buffett. And we just want to take a little time to celebrate this man. We've got a couple of Buffett facts that we're just going to throw out there from time to time.
And, today we've got two Jimmy Buffett facts that were thrown your way. And you would you want to get kicked off like, what's what's something people might not know about the man, the ultimate burnt one, Mr. Jimmy Buffett.
**Chip** (01:02:04:13 - 01:02:14:10):
Jimmy Buffett didn't apply sunscreen. Sunscreen applied to be on Jimmy Buffett.
**Thomas** (01:02:14:12 - 01:02:24:17):
Jimmy Buffett is so chill that when he passed, the global temperature rose one degree Celsius.
**Chip** (01:02:24:19 - 01:02:27:13):
That's. That is a chill man, Thomas.
**Thomas** (01:02:27:13 - 01:02:30:10):
He was that chill chap. He's like two polar ice caps.
**Chip** (01:02:30:12 - 01:02:37:12):
But by the way, you said one degree Celsius. That's how chill he is. He's using the metric system. Jimmy Buffett, use the metric system.
**Thomas** (01:02:37:12 - 01:02:45:17):
Well, I don't know if he use the metric system, but I do know that the real scientist that measured the Buffett effect on the climate definitely did.
**Chip** (01:02:45:19 - 01:02:46:04):
Okay.
**Thomas** (01:02:46:07 - 01:02:52:08):
All right. But can you imagine being so chill that you affect the, the weather patterns of the world?
**Chip** (01:02:52:10 - 01:03:06:08):
Yeah, that is just wow. Yeah. Just because that's how chill he was. And then he's not. It's just boom. Temperature go up. That's that is a chill, chill man right there. The cellist.
**Thomas** (01:03:06:10 - 01:03:21:06):
Yeah. Yeah. There's so many things we could talk about. That guy. We don't have time right now, but there's just so many incredible stories about just the way he lived his life and, like, what his priorities were and how he moved through the world. Yeah. I don't know. It's very inspiring.
**Chip** (01:03:21:06 - 01:03:31:15):
I like it. We'll get into that someday soon. We'll talk about his because he's his man. He worked hard to not work a lot. And it's it's amazing what he did, what he accomplished.
**Thomas** (01:03:31:21 - 01:03:48:18):
Yeah, it's just like, he really just shaped things the way he wanted them to be. Yeah. And even, like, when he didn't think people were gonna. We're gonna jump on board either. Like, yeah, there was it wasn't a guarantee. It was just kind of like, I'm going to do the kind of thing I see in my head and spend my time the way I want to spend my time.
And, it worked out pretty well for old Jimbo.
**Chip** (01:03:52:04 - 01:03:54:00):
Yeah. It did. Yes, it did.
**Thomas** (01:03:54:02 - 01:03:57:12):
We are coming up on the time here, but is there anything else you want to chat about?
**Chip** (01:03:57:14 - 01:04:12:11):
Let's, let's do it. Come out to Hawaii, come see us this Thanksgiving. We're going out. We're just. We're gonna have a blast. I'm so excited about it. The again, the comedy show is just the icing on the cake. It's. I call it the cherry on top. Now I'm calling it the icing. I feel like I've overstepped something.
**Thomas** (01:04:12:11 - 01:04:14:03):
I like icing more than cherries.
**Chip** (01:04:14:04 - 01:04:31:10):
Okay? It's just the. It's the icing on top. But we're going to spend a week out in Hawaii. Bring your significant other, bring a friend, come alone. Just hang out with us in Hawaii for the week. And before that, if it's this week, this Friday, July 18th, I'm going to be at Next in Line comedy club in Philadelphia.

Absolutely. Mr. Chantry, what time would you like?

Oh, it doesn't matter. My life has just been going down a terrible path, and I need you to stab me out of it with a wake up call.
