**Thomas** (00:00:00:00 - 00:00:12:18): Hey everybody, welcome to the Sunburnt podcast where we talk about comedy and tropical travel. To my right, you know, him from Netflix and his amazing stand is special. Move closer. It's the world's funniest stand up comedian, Mr. Chip Chantry. **Chip** (00:00:12:19 - 00:00:14:12): Wow. That is a lot to live up to. **Thomas** (00:00:14:12 - 00:00:17:03): You one you want. You knew you won that title, right? **Chip** (00:00:17:04 - 00:00:23:03): I did, it was. I will say, I think the ballot was stuffed, but hey, we'll take it. I will take the win. We love. **Thomas** (00:00:23:03 - 00:00:28:06): Stuffed ballots. Stuffed bras. Yeah. Anything you want to stuff a stuffed turkey. **Chip** (00:00:28:08 - 00:00:29:10): Stuffed crust pizza. **Thomas** (00:00:29:11 - 00:00:36:06): Oh, my gosh, the stuffed crust pizza. That's one bridge too far. Have you ever had stuffed crust pizza without getting a little tummy ache? I don't think. **Chip** (00:00:36:06 - 00:00:51:00): I have because I'm not like a big, you know, me like I'm not a big. You don't like cheese? Yeah, like, I like mozzarella cheese. Like mozzarella. So I love a pizza, but like, let's let's go easy on the like. We don't have to overdo it. We. I get your point, Italian people. It's cheese. You've put cheese into a pie. We get I don't need three cheese pizza. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:00:53:18 - 00:01:00:10): Now you're the first person I've ever met that's lactose intolerant. And it's not biological. You just have no tolerance for it. **Chip** (00:01:00:10 - 00:01:04:03): It's more hate. It's like when you hear about intolerance. Injustice. **Thomas** (00:01:04:03 - 00:01:04:21): Yeah. **Chip** (00:01:04:23 - 00:01:22:10): I will say, the one thing that I am intolerant towards is, is cheese is many cheeses. I think we could stuff crust with other things too. Why not stuffed with like maybe a little spinach in there? So I'm like, I make it like maybe a little healthy, like you feel good at the end, or maybe it's candy in there. **Thomas** (00:01:22:10 - 00:01:23:15): Oh, a little sweet treat. **Chip** (00:01:23:16 - 00:01:36:14): A dessert bread, a little chocolate, little cinnamon. So you finish the pizza and then boom, that's what. That's what it's stuffed with, baby. Speaking of stuffed buddy, this this episode is stuffed. **Thomas** (00:01:36:14 - 00:01:52:07): It's overflowing. Tripp, can I give you a quick rundown of what we're getting into? Yeah, we're going to be talking about the best vacation reality shows. The chip chantry got a couple of new shirts. You're wearing one of them right now. We're going to talk about it. Thanks. Big fun shirt company. Yes, we're a couple of Beach Boys. You and I both hit the beaches. One on the Atlantic, one on the Pacific. **Chip** (00:01:56:04 - 00:01:57:07): We're not going to say which is which. **Thomas** (00:01:57:07 - 00:02:04:02): It's our ten year anniversary of working together. And, like, happened, like. Well, it was two days ago. Yeah. Two days was the ten year anniversary of us meeting. **Chip** (00:02:08:01 - 00:02:10:07): The first day, our eyes locked. **Thomas** (00:02:10:12 - 00:02:15:21): Yeah. And we collab comedically. Who would have known it would lead to a free podcast in ten years? **Chip** (00:02:16:02 - 00:02:17:11): Yeah, exactly. Look at us. **Thomas** (00:02:17:11 - 00:02:22:01): We've got Buffett facts coming up. We got another round of Guinness Book of World record. **Chip** (00:02:22:02 - 00:02:27:14): Let's do it. Let's get started. It's it's our vacation mindset, but let's let's get to work right now. **Thomas** (00:02:27:19 - 00:02:36:04): Let's get to work. This is the sunburnt podcast. We talk about comedy and tropical travel. If you're into those two things, stay tuned. Front desk. **Chip** (00:02:36:04 - 00:02:43:06): Hey, this is Mr. Chandler in room 308. Real quick, I'm looking for a nine letter word. Starts with K. Another word for abducted. Oh, kidnaped. Kidnaped. Oh, yeah. That works. Kidnap. Oh, yeah. Okay, so my uncle has been kidnaped. Do you know the best way to wire some ransom money from the hotel? **Thomas** (00:02:52:10 - 00:02:53:19): I'll send security right up. Chip Thomas. Episode 26 103 days until Chip Chantry. Thanksgiving. Paradise. Comedy beach blowout in Waikiki the day before Thanksgiving this year. And, dude, I think we need to get into just a little slathering. This is the ritual we do. We get our noses feeling tropical, a little Hawaiian tropic, and we just get it kicked off. Right? But I mean, we this is the last podcast we're going to have before we're in double digits. And so we're going to Hawaii together with everybody. **Chip** (00:03:23:09 - 00:03:44:18): We are closing in on November, on Thanksgiving. I'm sure you probably haven't made Thanksgiving plans yet. And you're like, man, I do. I go to this side of the family. I get that side of the family. Am I doing a Friendsgiving? I got an idea. Have a Friendsgiving in Waikiki, Hawaii. Make your plans, get a hotel, get a flight. I'm doing two shows the night before Thanksgiving in Honolulu. It's going to be a blast and then come out. Hang with us. We have a nice little group of people coming out. It's going to be like, it's going to be like a it's going to be a work retreat without the work time. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, it's going to be there's going to be some food, fun and fellowship. There's going to be some comedy. And, we're going to I think we're going to do that five K right. I think the next day. **Thomas** (00:04:09:07 - 00:04:10:01): Yeah, yeah. **Chip** (00:04:10:07 - 00:04:28:09): It's it we, we have some, some stuff up our Hawaiian shirt sleeves. Come on out to Hawaii with us. You're like, forget the stress of Thanksgiving. Forget cooking, forget uncle Mike, just all of that stuff that you have to worry about. Hop on a plane and, let's go to Hawaii together. **Thomas** (00:04:28:09 - 00:04:40:00): It's really that simple. You either choose to do it or you don't choose to do it. And if you choose to do it, you get to have a great time. It's something I've done a couple of times, Thanksgiving in Hawaii, and it's it's my favorite part of the year, if I'm being totally. **Chip** (00:04:40:00 - 00:04:42:16): Honest, something I've never done. So I'm super psyched. **Thomas** (00:04:42:16 - 00:04:54:13): Dude, I'm so excited we're doing it together. It's going to be really, really fun. And, we've got a bunch of people that are coming out and, yeah, it's it's, going to be pretty, pretty low key people can do whatever they want, but there's going to be a couple. **Chip** (00:04:54:13 - 00:04:55:17): Of get togethers. **Thomas** (00:04:55:17 - 00:05:09:17): More or less. It's just the big sale is Chip's going to be doing his new hour, which is, by all accounts, everything I've heard. I haven't seen it, but everything I've heard is it is smoking hot right now, Chip, and it's only going to get hotter. **Chip** (00:05:09:18 - 00:05:12:16): It's just getting hotter and hotter and hotter, and then it's going to cool down in the ocean. **Thomas** (00:05:12:16 - 00:05:25:07): Yeah. And then you're going to get your buns to Thanksgiving or to Hawaii for Thanksgiving when it's freezing cold everywhere else, when there is responsibilities and a lot of other stuff you don't want to deal with, like cooking and dishes and blah, blah, blah. **Chip** (00:05:25:08 - 00:05:25:23): Black Friday. **Thomas** (00:05:25:23 - 00:05:39:08): Sales. We will be having delicious restaurant meals on vacation with our friends and loved ones in what I think is probably the most beautiful place in the world. So that is the sell there. There it. Is. But Chip, we got to talk about it, man. Ten years. **Chip** (00:05:43:15 - 00:06:01:00): Happy anniversary Thomas. I believe ten years is the cheese anniversary, which is just it's not good for me, but, to expect something at your doorstep. I mailed it about a week ago, so make sure it's still okay. But, Happy anniversary, Thomas. I think it's ten years in. Two days right now. **Thomas** (00:06:01:00 - 00:06:02:03): That's pretty bizarre, man. **Chip** (00:06:02:03 - 00:06:12:04): 2015. Yeah. I walked into that office, met Thomas O'Brien for the first time at those NBC studios in Stamford, Connecticut. **Thomas** (00:06:12:08 - 00:06:13:04): Yeah. **Chip** (00:06:13:06 - 00:06:31:04): How what a culture shock. I was a I was a fourth grade teacher. I was off for the summer. My buddy was working. I got a job writing for a TV show. They needed another writer. He was like, I got a guy for you. They brought me up for a meeting, met with the producers a week later. I am just in Connecticut, just in an office. I'm like, what am I doing? I'm supposed to go back to school, teach teaching in like two weeks? That's what I just took another job. I hadn't even quit yet. Yeah. And, and then in walks Tommy O'Brien. Yeah, we had some, we some good times. We had some late nights. We eat some early mornings. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:06:50:16 - 00:06:51:16): Oh, yeah. We did. **Chip** (00:06:51:18 - 00:06:53:21): I don't think you ever slept like one. **Thomas** (00:06:53:22 - 00:07:14:02): I still don't, but that was work related. I'm just worried about the world and everything else now. Which is why this is such a great retreat for my mind. This podcast we do here. But. Yeah. And I think that's what we really bonded over was we were like comedy guys, but we didn't move like comedy guys. We like we were, we took the work very seriously. We treated it like a job. You were the first person in the building besides me most days. And, Yeah, I do remember, like, I wasn't part of those conversations. But I do remember being in a meeting where some of the higher ups were just like, this guy needs to, like, know if he's going back to his teaching job or, like, if he's got a solid thing here for a while, like, what do we tell him? And, because you're so funny and so nice to be around. It was, overwhelming. Like, as long as the show is here, this guy's here. **Chip** (00:07:43:03 - 00:07:52:01): That was one of the scariest moments. I had to go to our boss and be like, after literally two weeks. I mean, that is not a big, you know. **Thomas** (00:07:52:01 - 00:07:53:17): Ran out of wide body of work. **Chip** (00:07:53:23 - 00:07:59:04): No. And I'm like, do you are you cool with it? Like, should I quit? He's like, yeah, go quit your job. So I was like, all right. **Thomas** (00:07:59:09 - 00:07:59:23): Yeah. **Chip** (00:08:00:01 - 00:08:22:16): We did many, many episodes. And then, the show was over. And then I just went back to Philadelphia thinking, what did I do with my life? What am I doing? And then a couple months go by, I'm doing stand up. I'm just like, I'm looking for other writing jobs. I'm like, what am I doing? And then I get a call, from Tommy and our other boss saying, hey, do you want to write some jokes from home? We will send you some videos, and you just have to sit there and make fun of them. I was like, yes, I will. So we did that show. We did. I did 1 or 2 other shows with some of the other producers, then came back to California. Yeah, to our, to our big show in the Comedy Garage 2019. **Thomas** (00:08:38:10 - 00:08:45:11): I think if you put them all together, we've, we've made about, 160, 180 episodes of comedic television together. **Chip** (00:08:45:16 - 00:08:46:10): At least, **Thomas** (00:08:46:12 - 00:09:12:17): As well as developed a bunch of, a bunch of stuff. Yeah, as well. So, dude, it's been super fun. It's, the longest collaborative running relationship I have with anybody in the comedy space. And, dude, I'm grateful for it. Grateful for this podcast. Grateful to you for watching, as this podcast has been slowly building and kind of coming up the charts, if you will. I, I don't know, man. It's pretty it's pretty bizarre to see the jumps we've made. **Chip** (00:09:20:09 - 00:09:20:14): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:09:20:14 - 00:09:32:19): I, a couple of weeks ago we had our first 100,000 stream week. I think this is, I think I, I haven't checked the numbers this morning, but we were pretty close to this week being 200,000. Which is. Like it kind of blows my mind a little. **Chip** (00:09:35:00 - 00:09:54:12): Bit. So thank you. Those, people who are watching it who are sharing it, following along, I think we found some fun sort of niches every like it's, it's fun when we have this podcast, we're like, all right, tropical travel vacation with us. And then we're just finding these other fun things because our whole goal is like, we've worked together for ten years now we're just going to vacation together for the next ten. And yeah, let's let's make some jokes. Let's write some jokes. And but like the podcast, I feel like it's shaping up. We get these little segments and it's just. **Thomas** (00:10:03:16 - 00:10:32:05): And they're all segments we love like we it's so bizarre that we do, you know, Guinness Book of World Record facts. It's just so insane. Like, we've we met each other ten years ago and we just, like both were obsessed with the good book. The good book growing up. We've got buffet facts. We just love everything about that guy and those videos are kind of what's driving a lot of the new growth, on the channels and on uptick in the podcast and people knowing who we are. And then, yeah, we just like we do buckets, we do jokes that. **Chip** (00:10:35:13 - 00:10:52:07): I have to say, I'm going to be honest, I think that's probably my favorite thing. Like, we are going to be talking about some of the best vacation reality shows that we would like to see. And I got to write a couple. That's my bread and butter. That's like my favorite thing to do. So it's like, this is an outlet for me to show off and you to show off what we do to write funny things. And yeah, and share with our goofy cuzi friends. **Thomas** (00:10:57:17 - 00:11:06:21): All right. I think we've been a little too serious for too long, so we need to talk about something. Actually, this is also pretty serious. Chip, look at that Hawaiian party. **Chip** (00:11:06:23 - 00:11:07:19): Look at this baby. **Thomas** (00:11:07:22 - 00:11:14:02): Look at that aloha shirt. I mean, have you ever seen something so beautiful? Chip? **Chip** (00:11:14:04 - 00:11:23:15): I don't think I have. It is. Maybe my favorite design. My favorite shirt. I just oh, I'm not even. I'm not even talking into the microphone. I'm so, so excited by. **Thomas** (00:11:23:19 - 00:11:24:11): Something we got to do. **Chip** (00:11:24:12 - 00:11:33:07): It's maybe my, my favorite design, my favorite shirt. I just realized I just hit seven. I now have seven Hawaiian shirts, one for every day of the week. **Thomas** (00:11:33:12 - 00:11:37:22): Yeah, you can go on a week long vacation and never repeat an aloha. **Chip** (00:11:38:00 - 00:11:47:12): Even church on Sunday. I got it. No aloha. It's repeated. So yeah, just got this from big fun shirts from Eureka, California. Yeah. And home of, I believe, unless they used a fake name. One of my favorite shows from the 80s, the Growing Pains spinoff, Just the Ten of Us, starring comedian Bill Kirk and our I believe was set in Eureka, California. Really? **Thomas** (00:12:03:13 - 00:12:08:07): I had no idea. I do remember that show its existence. I had no idea it was a spinoff. **Chip** (00:12:08:09 - 00:12:26:16): Yeah. But this is, I think this is my favorite design. There's some, like, hula dancers on there. There's some just, like, scenes from, Hawaii, tropical places, people diving into the. It's just it's just a great, fun, pattern. And I got them in the mail yesterday. I got this with another one. And, Yeah, I am super psyched. My wife could just see the look on my face when she came. She's like, oh, your shirts arrived. And I was like, yes, they did. **Thomas** (00:12:31:23 - 00:12:41:07): We we have gone absolutely insane for Hawaiian shirts. And I, I love it. And, you got to pick that out like. **Chip** (00:12:41:09 - 00:12:42:05): I got to pick the pattern. **Thomas** (00:12:42:05 - 00:12:52:10): Yeah, you took it very. You took it very seriously, too. It wasn't like I. It wasn't like you got on the website and you're just like, oh, that's the one. It's like you're like, I'm going to think about this for a couple of days and come back to you. **Chip** (00:12:52:12 - 00:12:55:03): I did my homework and I think it paid off. **Thomas** (00:12:55:08 - 00:13:03:22): And I do believe Stefan said that that was the last one of that fabric. So like, you kind of have the last. **Chip** (00:13:04:00 - 00:13:04:06): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:13:04:06 - 00:13:18:14): Big fun shirt in that print that that's going to exist. And that's also kind of fun too. It's just like it's such a weird experience to be like, hey, can can I get this in a, you know, insert size here? And he's just like, actually we can if it was even one size bigger, probably not. **Chip** (00:13:18:14 - 00:13:47:07): Probably didn't have the yardage for it. And by the way, I oh, it was a little bit of a stressful week because it was mailed out to me. And, you know, I was going to be dropped on my doorstep as as packages arrive. Yeah. You know, packages, whether it's, pet food or clothing or electronics or a baby in a basket, you know, like, however things are left on doorsteps these days, and, I was it might have come the other day. We weren't sure exactly when it was going to arrive. And I was out of town for most of the day, and I was like, oh. And my worry was like it was somebody was going to walk away with that little porch pirate. We love pirates on this podcast. **Thomas** (00:13:58:04 - 00:14:00:15): We do. We do not like him on the porch, though. **Chip** (00:14:00:16 - 00:14:01:18): We do not like him on the porch. **Thomas** (00:14:01:18 - 00:14:03:08): Keep him on the seas. **Chip** (00:14:03:09 - 00:14:20:06): Yeah, and I was very nervous that I was I was literally walking around my neighborhood the last few days just looking for a sketchy character or wearing a Hawaiian shirt of the pattern that I picked out. **Thomas** (00:14:20:07 - 00:14:21:03): Yeah. **Chip** (00:14:21:05 - 00:14:33:12): And I was like, this guy swiped my shirts, but luckily it didn't. It came, I got I got a knock upon my door yesterday morning and man, was was I excited. It's Christmas morning in August, buddy. **Thomas** (00:14:33:14 - 00:14:35:17): Dude, it's, it's really fantastic. **Chip** (00:14:35:17 - 00:15:00:14): And I know we've talked about this before, but I have to say I, I was not a Hawaiian shirt wear until just a few months ago. Oh, you got me into. And I was like, all right, let me try this. I it is my my attitude and latitude has changed. And I'm telling you, it sets the temperature. When you walk in a room, people are like, I get smiles more on the street when I'm wearing them, I get compliments. I'm telling you, if you are not a Hawaiian shirt wearer just yet, you're like, I don't know if that's really my style. It's everybody. That's the thing about Hawaiian shirt. It's literally everybody style. Like, I'm trying to think of a person on earth who style. It's who wouldn't make a Hawaiian shirt work, right? **Thomas** (00:15:18:23 - 00:15:19:14): Yeah. **Chip** (00:15:19:16 - 00:15:41:00): And, I'm telling you, buy one artist, one shirt, give it it, give it a test drive, and you're going, like, be like, oh, my God, this is I. People are smiling at me more. They're friendlier. It's it's more festive all around me. You're just walking around this bubble, and, it's it's the greatest feeling in the world, man. **Thomas** (00:15:41:02 - 00:16:04:23): Oh, and I think we do. It's talking about wearing Hawaiian shirts that we do need to talk about something. It wasn't even on the rundown. But we may have recorded the last episode before going to see Naked Gun with. Yes, a burnt once in the community. I know we said it was a great success, but we recorded it the day beforehand and we just saw that tickets were moving, but now we can really talk about it. Yep. We went out there, we saw naked God, we rock some Hawaiians. And then afterwards went and like, had some some babies with friends and it was just the most fun day. And I really like that that was wearing it out at night, doing a thing with a bunch of other people wearing them. Like the comments. Chip. So many comments. It really was like brightening. They wanted to know what you were up to, what you were doing. You kind of got the feeling that they were jealous, that they didn't have a big group of friends they were running around with. What was your what was your takeaway over in the, the Philly chapters? **Chip** (00:16:38:10 - 00:16:55:22): It was it was a blast. It was like we remember when you were in, like, eighth grade, you started going out alone for the first night without your parents. You go to the mall, you go to the movies, you go out and you have to, like, call people and arrange rides from moms and dads and like, all right, my dad will drop us off at the roller rink, but your mom would pick us up. It was it. It was that level of excitement of, like, I, I was kind of the ringleader of, like, all right, we're doing this. You went out and you did an LA one. We did. We did a Philly one. There's there were some Nebraska ones happening. **Thomas** (00:17:09:03 - 00:17:12:19): I know that made me so happy doing those Nebraska bras. **Chip** (00:17:12:19 - 00:17:29:06): I was so excited. And we had, by the way, we've been sitting on it. We have to post the photos from each of those locations that we're going to post on social media. So make sure you follow us at Sunbird Pod, on all those places. So we'll upload that. We got to put those photos up soon, but man, what a blast. It was just so much fun because it was like I had, a group of people who some people knew each other, some people didn't. And like, everybody just sort of like, again, it wasn't like this, like, weird, like, oh, where I'm in a party and I don't know anybody. Like, I was like, oh, yeah, okay, a lot of us are wearing Hawaiian shirts. We're all here to see a dumb, dumb. **UNRESOLVED** (00:17:48:21 - 00:17:51:00): Dumb, super fun comedy. **Chip** (00:17:51:00 - 00:18:11:10): Super fun comedy. And it was just like, we're in. So we did we we watched the movie, had a great time, came out, and then we walked over in in Philadelphia. We walked over right along the tropical shores of the Delaware River overlooking new Jersey. We were at Spruce Street Harbor Park, which is just this, like, cool, hang on the water. It's like I forgot how tropical it felt. Like there's a Marina there. There's like, boats. We had these outdoor couches, like patio kind of areas. There were tropical drinks abounding and, maybe some tequila shots and, some beers. Just by the way, I don't think this is this is a Philly thing. I don't know if other I can't. **Thomas** (00:18:32:03 - 00:18:34:14): I'm always just floored by what Philly things. **Chip** (00:18:34:16 - 00:18:40:12): What Philly does. So there is something in Philadelphia called the citywide special or is that. No. That rings. **Thomas** (00:18:40:14 - 00:18:41:18): Oh, no. Oh, I. **Chip** (00:18:42:01 - 00:18:43:18): Heard of the citywide special. Okay. So the citywide is is great. I, I don't know, I think it started out at a place called Bob and Barbara's, which is this amazing, amazing. I hate calling it a dive bar because it's so much cooler than that. But I don't know if Bob and Barbara's is exactly where it started, but I know that was one of the originators at least, where a citywide special was basically like, I think, like a lot of people call it like a boilermaker, where it's like, oh, yeah, okay, you get a shot of. **Thomas** (00:19:05:16 - 00:19:06:14): This shot. **Chip** (00:19:06:16 - 00:19:24:15): At. Yeah. And a can of beer. Yeah. And for years now, inflation is a thing that we're dealing with in our lives. So the last number of years it's changed. But literally for years when I started when I was of age coming into the city, many, many like a decade plus, a can of beer and a shot of whiskey. $3. **Thomas** (00:19:26:03 - 00:19:27:01): Oh, my gosh. **Chip** (00:19:27:01 - 00:19:31:05): Citywide special. I mean, you have three of those. That is that is a weekend, right? **Thomas** (00:19:31:06 - 00:19:32:13): That's six drinks. **Chip** (00:19:32:15 - 00:19:34:20): Yeah, exactly. And that's. **Thomas** (00:19:34:20 - 00:19:35:10): Nuts. **Chip** (00:19:35:12 - 00:19:51:23): Right. So it would be like three bucks. And so it, it was, it was it spread around the city. So it was literally called a citywide special. So now there's like other people have like special ones where you can go in and like now maybe they're like six bucks, seven bucks, whatever. You know, maybe a little more. But, it's still like usually a shot of beer. And then they do like themed ones. So like this one down here, it was a shot of tequila and like, a citrusy, fun, summery can of beer. And so bunch of sad those. And we sat out on the water and then just like people just got to know each other. I had two guys who didn't even know each other. They've already hung out since then without me. Like they just got together. Oh, so I think we are connecting people. We're connecting. People. It was the. It was the. **Thomas** (00:20:16:22 - 00:20:30:21): Best. And it's just so fun to do something silly like, when do you get to do something a little silly? Has grown ups go like, and it has been so long since a good comedy. And by the way, Naked Gun crashed at the box office. Yeah, largely because of the sunburnt podcast port. **Chip** (00:20:31:02 - 00:20:32:08): We were a large part of that. **Thomas** (00:20:32:14 - 00:20:36:02): It's not being written about in the trades because I think they're scared of our power. **Chip** (00:20:36:03 - 00:20:36:12): Yeah they. **Thomas** (00:20:36:12 - 00:20:58:10): Are. They're scared of our reach. They're scared of our influence. But they're definitely was a sunburnt bump, from the different, smoke shows screenings we set up around the country. There was also two in New York, which, went well, and they visited, after the movie, they went to Tiki check, which we went to on the Upper West Side. And then also there was another contingent that went to Zombie Hut in downtown Brooklyn, to two of our favorite tiki bars in the world that we did on our, Tiki tour of NYC and that, kind of set people back to the most appropriate ones near theaters. But do it at night. What a fun experience. What a really exciting time for the podcast. I get it's fingers into the real world, and I just had such a good time and I didn't even talk about this trip. A couple weeks ago, you told us about Phil Spector and the VIX Grog. **Chip** (00:21:30:14 - 00:21:31:15): Oh yeah. **Thomas** (00:21:31:17 - 00:21:44:21): So the tiki bar that we went to after Naked Gun had a Trader Vic's grog, the same exact drink that Phil Spector drank before allegedly murdering his wife. Was it his wife? **Chip** (00:21:44:23 - 00:21:46:00): No, it was just a. **Thomas** (00:21:46:01 - 00:21:47:00): Just some lady. **Chip** (00:21:47:02 - 00:21:49:12): Just a lady. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:21:49:17 - 00:22:15:22): Anyways, I did it. No violent side effects, but when I tell you I was just huffing delicious gasoline. That's exactly what it was like. I have no idea. There was so much booze in there. But it was cut so well with like some fruit juices. Really really really interesting combination. I don't think I need another one very strong for me. **Chip** (00:22:16:00 - 00:22:19:05): You got groggy. Yeah, yeah. **Thomas** (00:22:19:07 - 00:22:40:18): But yeah, I did get a little groggy. Was not driving home. We Uber But. Yeah. Dude, it was, a night to remember. We had so much fun. And I'm glad you did, too. And I'm glad, you know, folks in Nebraska, New York, Chicago, there was a little contingent. Yeah, just really fun. And I can't wait to do the next one, though. **Chip** (00:22:40:20 - 00:22:56:22): Well, and even some people were like, hey, are we going to do this again? Do you want to? I was like, yeah, like, of course we'll go to see a movie. Maybe we'll go see a horror movie, you know, go see. Yeah, I know the comedy. But like, maybe we're just going to get together again at Spruce Street or just go do a different, find a different destination, do something funny, just, like, get some people together. And it was just, yeah, fun because it's like we're adults and it's like, how often do you make new friends as adults now? And but it's like to have that one step of like, we kind of know each other. We listen to the podcast, we're fans of this. We got our Hawaiians on and it was just it was a blast. We had a great time. So thank you to everybody who came out to, to that it was it was great. And The Naked Gun was a dumb, dumb movie that I just had so much fun with. It was so much fun. My only if I one critique, I don't if we talked about this last last time, but my only critique, I wanted to see, a little more Paul Walter Hauser, maybe my favorite current actor, like, just so hilarious. And it was his role he played the straight man, basically. Yeah. Two Liam Neeson and Liam Neeson was great. And, but, I want to see a little more Paul Walser house. Better than that. It was just such a fun, silly movie. **Thomas** (00:23:50:09 - 00:24:07:11): We got out of our heads, we got out of the world, and we had fun with some friends. Which is like something you do every weekend as a teenager. If, you're popular enough to, I guess, I don't know, I guess there's some limitations, but just finding a little reason to put an emphasis on getting your friends together and going to do something. Just have fun together. Yeah. It was awesome, man. **Chip** (00:24:10:20 - 00:24:18:16): Hey, why not do that in Hawaii this Thanksgiving? You see a lot of that in there, Thomas. You see how I just work that in? Massaged it in with these little things right here? **Thomas** (00:24:18:16 - 00:24:19:23): Everything can be an ad. **Chip** (00:24:20:00 - 00:24:22:03): Let's talk about our gut health right now, Thomas. **UNRESOLVED** (00:24:22:05 - 00:24:24:03): Okay. Gut microbiome. Go check. **Chip** (00:24:24:04 - 00:24:33:23): Microbiomes. If you subscribe, you will be sent this. That, now. Okay. I mean, for gut health. **Thomas** (00:24:34:01 - 00:24:47:09): There will be no gut health giveaways, but we are going to be doing something really fun with big fun shirts, in the very near future. We'll keep you updated, but, we're going to be we're going to be giving away, some big fun shirts, man. **Chip** (00:24:47:09 - 00:24:49:20): Maybe something like this right here. You can be the next one. **Thomas** (00:24:49:22 - 00:25:21:22): Yeah. So if you guys want to, we're we're going to be releasing that via the shorts on YouTube. So follow us. Subscribe on YouTube to get alerted when those videos go out, because it's going to go out. And then you can enter just by dropping a comment in that specific video. And then we're going to use a random comment picker, and somebody is going to get to go on the Big Fun Shirts website, pick out the exact shirt they want if it's available, and it's going to be, made and shipped to them with their specifications. It's, very exciting. I've love the process, and I'm really excited to be teaming up with them to get some more Hawaiians in the hands of folks who might really enjoy. Yep. **Chip** (00:25:33:03 - 00:25:41:03): Exactly, exactly. Speaking of enjoying it, yeah. Last week, you and I were Beach Boys. **Thomas** (00:25:41:05 - 00:25:51:21): We were definitely Beach Boys. It was so much fun. You actually took a trip, though. Like you, you left the confines of your home and spent a couple of days at the beach. Tell me about that man. **Chip** (00:25:51:23 - 00:26:16:07): Yeah. Left South Philly. It's it. I I'm very spoiled. It's an it was an hour and ten minute drive to Ocean City, new Jersey. We're very spoiled. It's right there. And, spent literally 48 hours. Just got out of town for for two sun ups to Sundowns and, shout out to my, brother in law and sister in law, who they, they rent a house down in Ocean City every year we go down with them for, for a couple of days. Had a blast on the beach, went out for Kim and I. We, we wrote our bikes in the morning on the boardwalk. First thing went and got some breakfast. Like when it first opens. That's the best thing to do, you know? Yeah. Right on the boardwalk, right on the ocean. Spend some time. I will say this. I'm a walker on the beach. Like I go down the beach and you walk for a mile or two, you come back. We actually did some sitting on the beach this time, and it is. Sometimes I feel like I get a little antsy. Not this time. I was just like, oh, you're gonna. And out did dig that ditch. Did they dig a couple of ditches? But, got to hang out on the beach and I will say this. Here's my one takeaway from this is it's great. And my wife and I were very spoiled. We don't have any confines. We have we have the dog. And as you can see, we don't have children. The the the literal baggage that comes along with that. **Thomas** (00:27:04:21 - 00:27:05:16): Oh, it's unbelievable. **Chip** (00:27:05:22 - 00:27:28:13): And the timing. There's naps, there's bedtimes, there's. We have to get ready. There's, you know, we gotta eat lunch or whatever. So I know that people with families are on. There's time schedules here that that we don't. But I will say this, you know, you go to the beach and it's most people are there like, I don't know, like high time is probably like 11 a.m. till 4 p.m.. It's like midday, right. And everybody's out there every day. And of course, anymore, because we're all just so spoiled like everybody, it's, you know, when I was a kid, it was just like, throw two towels down, maybe get a chair if you're a rich person. **Thomas** (00:27:42:05 - 00:27:43:03): Yeah. **Chip** (00:27:43:05 - 00:28:03:14): And now it's if you don't have a full structure that needs zoning. What are you doing? It's like full tents. I just, I saw I saw a guy with, like, a he had literally, like a, like a coffee table and chairs, like, you know, living room on the beach, these big flags, for whatever reason. And which is great. I mean, hey, have fun. Shield yourself from the sun. We don't want to get that sunburn. And, but, like, everybody's there on the beach and it's crowded and it's it's it's fine. I have to give a shout out to a family that I saw my wife and I the first morning we went for a bike ride on the boardwalk, and then the second morning we got up super early, like 6:00 or whatever. Got up and walked on the beach just. And there's like, barely anybody out there. Yeah, but we saw a family out there at 730 in the morning. They're like one of the only people. There's a couple fishermen out there, couple people walking on the beach, and then there was just a family. It was like a husband and wife and like, son and a daughter who are probably like five and seven years old, and they're just living it up, making sandcastles, doing the things. And it's like they had their own private beach because they got up early. Yeah, they had their own space and they were run into the water. They were swimming coming back. And then like, they're probably wrapping up for the day. By the time it gets crowded, they go home, maybe have some lunch, take a nap, go to the boardwalk or do whatever the hell they want. **Thomas** (00:29:01:22 - 00:29:02:06): Yeah. **Chip** (00:29:02:10 - 00:29:12:18): And they just had the beach to themselves. So, again, I know that sometimes there's time constraints with kids, but man, shout out to those people having their own private beach just for themselves. **Thomas** (00:29:12:18 - 00:29:30:04): It's one of the most beautiful parts about going to Hawaii too. It's just because the way the time zones work from the West Coast, especially from the East coast, you the your first day there, you were going to be waking up before the sun. I love it, it's a magical time. And you just walk out there and you're just on a beach in Hawaii. You've traveled to this like beautiful land, this beautiful island, and then you just kind of are up before everybody else is. The sun rises. You get introduced to it that way. Yeah. The water's warm enough to go swimming at that time. It's really, really amazing. So yeah, shout out to those guys. And also, you can you can be that person yourself. Chap in Waikiki this November. **Chip** (00:29:51:23 - 00:30:08:21): I'm excited and I, I've always been like, standup comedy isn't the most suitable career for me, just time wise because I'm a morning person. Like, I love getting up early before the crack of dawn. Yeah, and just going and doing the thing and, you know, getting a better early. So it's it's, I definitely look forward to that at that. The beach. So. Yeah. And and then just have this I think I might be waking up literally at 9 p.m. the night before. Like, that's how early I feel like I'm going to be just doing the night shift. So it'll be. **Thomas** (00:30:19:23 - 00:30:41:06): Interesting to see what happens when we get to Hawaii. Speaking of beach trips, though, I took the baby to the beach for the first time. Like, we go on walks all the time. We're down there almost every weekend. But this was the first time we took the baby to go sit on the beach. So I had all the stuff that we've got. Yeah, the umbrellas, we've got the chairs, we've got the beach blankets, we've got all the baby stuff. And I got one of those dad beach carts. Chip. **Chip** (00:30:50:23 - 00:30:52:12): With, with the big fat wheels. **Thomas** (00:30:52:12 - 00:30:55:13): I wish, I wish they were fatter. I wish they were fatter. **Chip** (00:30:55:13 - 00:30:57:10): Like digging into that sand. **Thomas** (00:30:57:12 - 00:31:08:20): Big drag. I it wasn't like an argument, but I was like, there's there's a motorized cart with, like, these big wheels, and it's like, you know, kind of double the price. I think it was like a 200 buck thing. **Chip** (00:31:08:20 - 00:31:10:17): I think you're thinking of a car, Thomas. **Thomas** (00:31:10:17 - 00:31:14:09): Yeah. Motorized beach cart. It's a Honda. Yeah. And it has a warranty if you buy it now, but. No, it was just like, there is like, you can just, like an electric scooter or whatever. You twist a little knob and it caddies across the sand for you. I j it was worse than if it was just a cooler I was dragging on the sand. It was. They look and it says beach cart right on the side of it. Like I got the Costco one and boy did it not handle the sand very well. **Chip** (00:31:45:12 - 00:32:03:17): And you're okay. Maybe I'm missing out. Maybe they have this technology if you want to call it technology. But this design, why not just make it like a sled? Like a sleigh, rather than wheels just built along the sand, right? Like, get the little runners on there, make it feel like a little, little sled, and it just slides right along it. **Thomas** (00:32:03:22 - 00:32:12:20): It would work, but I think the it would have to be an amphibious or like a hybrid mode of transportation, because sleds don't work on the street or sidewalk. **Chip** (00:32:12:22 - 00:32:14:15): It's true. Yeah. Because then you're taking the side. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:32:14:15 - 00:32:17:01): Okay. Yeah. So you need a solution that does both, but. **Chip** (00:32:17:01 - 00:32:17:21): Like, redacted. **Thomas** (00:32:18:00 - 00:32:26:22): In order to get the cart that folds down nice in the car, the wheels have to be in a certain place where you can't just have big baddies hanging out the side. **Chip** (00:32:27:03 - 00:32:28:01): Yeah. That's true. **Thomas** (00:32:28:01 - 00:32:32:07): So I, I don't know I don't know if anybody's figured, but hey. **Chip** (00:32:32:07 - 00:32:35:23): You got to workout. You look you look like you work those lats and those abs. **Thomas** (00:32:36:02 - 00:32:45:04): Well, I certainly did. And I think that's what I think. That's what led to the results that I came down with me, the host of the sunburnt podcast. **Chip** (00:32:45:06 - 00:32:55:16): Hold on. We have some, breaking embarrassing news right now. Breaking embarrassing news coming off across the wire right now. Embarrassing news. Take it away, Thomas. **Thomas** (00:32:55:16 - 00:33:18:00): I burnt myself so bad. Yep. So what? What happened was, I, I did it, I did a slathering. I did an appropriate slather. Yeah, but by the time I drug this cart all the way in, like we were down in the South Bay, in Los Angeles, if anybody's been there, it's one of the longest beaches I've ever seen. Like, the sand goes on for a long time. We wanted to set up shop close to the water. So I am dragging this cart for, I don't know the distance, but, like, a very long time. And I'm wearing a tank top on the way out there, and I'm just sweating profusely. And I think the sunscreen kind of, like, rubbed off. So like that I went and, you know, we just had a day at the beach laid down there, didn't reapply or anything. But I think that the tank top and the sweat and all the movement, wiped the sunscreen away from the tank top areas. And now I have a reverse tank top bird on my torso. Yep. It it is. I mean, it's lobster red. It's very painful. And, the baby thinks it's funny to literally slap it. Been getting a lot of just, like, full on double handed slaps on my tummy and chest. And then when I react, she laughs. She laughs like, It's as funny as it actually is. **Chip** (00:34:19:16 - 00:34:33:14): Serves you right. I think she's teaching you well. She's like rather slaps then melanoma at some point. Yeah. You got you got to learn Thomas. Thomas. It's like that job at Blockbuster Video. You want it in high school, you have to reapply. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:34:33:18 - 00:34:46:02): After there's always another round. Yeah. So yeah, I learned my lesson. But if I'm being totally honest, I know it's not healthy. I know it's not good, but a little bit of a sunburn kind of let you know it's summer. It does. It's a familiar story and it's. How you make the beach trip last longer. We're a couple of days out now, and I am still at least like to the touch, on the beach, you know? **Chip** (00:35:00:03 - 00:35:04:16): Yeah. Lobster boy, I love it, man. Did the baby, like, did she go in the water? **Thomas** (00:35:04:16 - 00:35:19:22): Oh, dude, it was nuts. It was nuts. It was, Yeah. The first time she's been in the water in Hawaii before. I just like dipping toes in, but she can, like, you know, walk a little bit now, and, she grabs my hands and just started bolting for the water, like, was not scared of. It was just, like, into it. So I'm going behind her and she just ran right into right into the foam, right into the water and wanted to keep going. And like I was, I, I didn't know she was going to like it at all. But she was so excited about the ocean, so not scared of it having an absolute blast and like, the chilly water. And, yeah, I couldn't have asked for anything more. It was like a really special, special time. And then we we splashed around for like 15 minutes, just kind of in the shallow water there. And it wasn't enough for like, it was time to go back to the blanket, time to, you know, she needed to have a snack, and, she just was furious and started crying when we, took her away. **UNRESOLVED** (00:35:59:18 - 00:36:01:11): So she's a baby bird one time. **Thomas** (00:36:01:14 - 00:36:13:05): She's a baby bird like this. I don't know what else I would expect. She, She loves the beach. A little Southern California baby, loves the ocean. And, it has zero of the fears that I do in general. **Chip** (00:36:13:07 - 00:36:16:09): She did not love Naked Gun, though. From whatever. **Thomas** (00:36:16:09 - 00:36:20:02): Oh, no, no, no, she thought it was too on the nose. **Chip** (00:36:20:04 - 00:36:23:04): Yeah. Well the little derivative I think they're a little vulgar. **Thomas** (00:36:23:04 - 00:36:24:05): She said a little vulgar. **Chip** (00:36:24:05 - 00:36:26:00): Little vulgar, little derivative. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:36:26:00 - 00:36:28:08): Said it was written by gross boys. **Chip** (00:36:28:10 - 00:36:38:19): Yes, yes. Yeah. Toddler movie reviews. I think that's our next that is our next, project, I think. **Thomas** (00:36:38:19 - 00:36:46:00): Yeah. It'll be good. Yeah. She's got, they got a lot of strong opinions. Not the most articulate with them, but neither am I. **Chip** (00:36:46:02 - 00:36:52:13): Yeah, yeah, she's right after our own hearts, I love it. I'm so excited. Some beach boys, some beach girls. **Thomas** (00:36:52:15 - 00:37:05:02): Yeah, but we had a great time at the beach, man. It was, a really good time. And just so fun. Especially her first trip into the, the ocean is somebody who can, like, kind of control her movements a little bit. It was, it was great. **Chip** (00:37:05:03 - 00:37:12:04): That's beautiful. I, it's it's that time of year. And then, man, we're just over 100 days away to getting back to that beach. **Thomas** (00:37:12:04 - 00:37:33:05): I'm so excited about that. Like, I, I love the beach days here, but there's something special about Hawaii, especially, during that Thanksgiving time. And we've been doing some upgrades to the website, too. You can go to sunburnt podcast.com. You'll be able to find tickets. And please, if you're going to get tickets, go there or either the Blue Note Hawaii, dot com. There's a lot of tickets available. And if you search for chips and trees, Thanksgiving Paradise, you're gonna see mostly resold tickets that are way more expensive. **Chip** (00:37:41:17 - 00:37:42:10): Third party. **Thomas** (00:37:42:10 - 00:38:07:01): There may not be an option very soon, though, because tickets are moving. Yeah, let's get into that. And then, Chip, I think we should transition from talking about our weekends, talking about Thanksgiving in Paradise into a little something that could be, you know, more tangible for everybody. We want to talk about the best vacation reality shows. **Chip** (00:38:07:06 - 00:38:10:11): Are you a big reality guy or do you watch a lot of reality television? **Thomas** (00:38:10:11 - 00:38:19:18): I have in the past. I can get into pockets. I can get into the flow of a show that people are watching it around me or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's safe to say. **Chip** (00:38:19:19 - 00:38:35:13): I'm not a I'll be honest with you. Like, I'm not a huge reality TV fan. I don't really watch, I don't really follow it. But like Matt said, on a beach, maybe like a survivor or, you know, it's it's it's funny. You get to see you get to see those exotic places maybe in an amazing race somewhere. Yeah. But what we decided to do is maybe pitch, because maybe we're coming back to television. Thomas. You know, television making a comeback. And, I have pitched a couple of brand new vacation based reality TV shows that I think would be amazing on network television. **Thomas** (00:38:56:02 - 00:39:11:10): I can't wait to hear it. You have network television experience? You've been inside the beast. Yeah. And now, after taking some time, you've ingested what's going on in society, what's going on in the business? And these are your three best pitches. **Chip** (00:39:11:10 - 00:39:17:06): These are the three best pitches for vacation themed reality shows that everybody wants to see on the air. **Thomas** (00:39:17:07 - 00:39:18:21): Can't wait to hear it. Chip. What's number one. **Chip** (00:39:18:21 - 00:39:26:05): I came up with? I think a really creative title for this first one. Thomas. You ready? It's called Picture It. Okay. It's called Temptation Island. Okay. Temptation Island, that's what I'm calling this reality show. Okay. All right. Otis Williams is the only surviving member of the legendary Motown singing group The temptations on Temptation Island. This 84 year old tenor is flown to his own tropical island, given unlimited budget. And we just watch Otis Williams spend his golden years in Paradise. That's it. No competitions, no dating drama. Just that one of the men behind my girl and just my imagination living the good life. And I'll tell you one thing, Thomas. I ain't too proud to beg for a season of Temptation Island. **Thomas** (00:40:05:08 - 00:40:10:08): I think there's something there. I mean, we'll have to run a trademark check on that, that title. **Chip** (00:40:10:08 - 00:40:11:07): Oh, has it been used before? **Thomas** (00:40:11:08 - 00:40:32:14): You know what I think if it hasn't been, it's there. Something very similar. Something very similar out there. Okay, well, but Temptation Island chip, I love it. That's that's slow TV, that's, beach. That's escapism. That's, shades of the Golden Bachelor. My hometown. The bachelor portion. Just a gold person who happens to be in their golden years. **Chip** (00:40:32:16 - 00:40:35:17): Yeah, yeah. All right, all right. **Thomas** (00:40:35:19 - 00:40:36:18): I love it. Dude. **Chip** (00:40:36:19 - 00:40:37:18): You got to go with number two. **Thomas** (00:40:37:19 - 00:40:39:21): Let's go. Number two. I can't wait to hear it. **Chip** (00:40:39:23 - 00:40:45:15): All right, this one, get ready for the title. Okay. I think pretty creative. It's called Project Runway. **Thomas** (00:40:45:17 - 00:40:48:01): Okay. There's definitely one of those already. **Chip** (00:40:48:03 - 00:40:54:09): Project runway. Yeah. Okay, okay. These things are just coming off the top of my head. Just up those names. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:40:54:09 - 00:40:56:04): That happens. Blue skies. **Chip** (00:40:56:06 - 00:41:32:08): Okay, project runway seven. Former child actors are sent to a desolate island in the middle of the Pacific. There's no running water, no electricity. Besides the antics that they create, there's also no food, medicine or other necessities on the island. The only way these much needed supplies can be delivered is by plane. On the first season of Project Runway, Corey Feldman, Kirk Cameron, Soleil Moon Frye and more have to clear brush and put down a brand new runway so a plane with life sustaining materials can land on their island. **Thomas** (00:41:32:09 - 00:41:34:18): I mean, it makes sense. It's Project Runway. **Chip** (00:41:34:20 - 00:41:45:08): Yeah, project the runway is the project. And if they want to survive, they got to build a nice runway in the middle of tropical brush. **Thomas** (00:41:45:08 - 00:41:50:11): Of the celebrities you listed on there. Yeah. How many do you think are in my cell phone right now? **Chip** (00:41:50:14 - 00:41:53:16): I'm going to say one. **Thomas** (00:41:53:18 - 00:41:54:17): That's right. **Chip** (00:41:54:19 - 00:41:55:21): Is one of them in there? Yeah. I'm not going to ask you which one unless you want to tell me, but, I have an idea. Where'd I have an idea? But I'm not going to say I'm not going to, I'm not going to put. I put them on blast. **Thomas** (00:42:06:10 - 00:42:08:20): To I love it. What's number three about it? **Chip** (00:42:08:20 - 00:42:17:17): This one might be the seller. This one might be the one that just goes over the edge. And is the 2026 show of the year. **Thomas** (00:42:17:18 - 00:42:23:19): I think it's a completely original name, completely original title, completely original concept. Okay. **Chip** (00:42:23:19 - 00:42:27:13): Let's go. Absolutely. I, I developed this from the ground up. **Thomas** (00:42:27:15 - 00:42:28:11): Perfect. **Chip** (00:42:28:13 - 00:42:35:11): Okay. This reality show, this vacation themed reality show is called Love is Blind Rage. Okay. Are you ready? Yeah. Love is blind rage. Okay. We've all seen full grown adults have full blown meltdowns inside airport terminals when their flights are delayed or canceled. So let's turn that tantrum into romance. Here's the pitch, Thomas. **Thomas** (00:42:50:10 - 00:42:51:06): Okay. **Chip** (00:42:51:08 - 00:43:12:19): When a vacation goer is told that their flight plans have been destroyed and they have an epic hissy fit, they are then whisked into a small room with dozens of other outraged would be travelers who are forced to partake in an impromptu airport speed dating event. See if these grounded tourists can handle each other at their worst on Love is Blind Rage. They may have missed their connections, but maybe they won't miss this connection. I love it, we've all seen those videos, Thomas, of that lady or that guy just knew. You are a full grown adult and you are. You are being ushered away by police because you can't handle your own mind and body and you are flipping out. So instead of being whisked away to jail, just take him into that little lounge. Yeah, with a just 12 or 15 other irate passengers, there would be passengers and then they just have to meet each other, have a first date, go around, speed, date and see if love. Because I will say this they're not in the air. But maybe love is. I love it, love is blind rage I I'm telling you, I think it turns a negative into a positive. **Thomas** (00:44:05:19 - 00:44:06:09): Yeah. **Chip** (00:44:06:11 - 00:44:10:14): And I think it's the new Netflix streaming streamer of 2026. **Thomas** (00:44:10:16 - 00:44:20:18): I mean, as a, a collaborative partner with you on so many things in the past, I'm doing my best to try and poke a hole in any of these concepts, and I can't. **Chip** (00:44:20:20 - 00:44:21:09): See. **Thomas** (00:44:21:11 - 00:44:22:00): Airtight. **Chip** (00:44:22:01 - 00:44:35:00): Thank you. I, I feel good about it. I feel that, they're all, of course, very original. And they're they're riveting. The only living member of a Motown group on an island all to himself. **Thomas** (00:44:35:02 - 00:44:35:10): Yeah. **Chip** (00:44:35:11 - 00:44:46:08): Child actors having to build a runway to get some much needed life sustaining supplies. And then just, a bunch of Karens just having having some dates. Yeah. The scene where. They. Fireworks fly. **Thomas** (00:44:51:19 - 00:45:14:00): I love it. Yep. Well, I look forward to seeing any of those. And we'll keep everybody updated. As Chip works through Hollywood pitch processes, it takes a little more time than you think. We'll keep you updated. And when one of these eventually or multiple of them eventually get greenlit and are going to air, we'll keep you updated on all the pertinent information. **Chip** (00:45:14:00 - 00:45:30:05): That's my biggest worry is that they all get greenlit at the same time, and it's like, I'm a supervising producer. Yeah, we have to be in the South Pacific with. Yeah, Corey Feldman and Todd Bridges and the rest. And we also have to be at L.a.x. for these people losing their minds. **Thomas** (00:45:30:06 - 00:45:30:23): Yeah. **Chip** (00:45:31:01 - 00:45:45:10): How how do we juggle that schedule and do a podcast? Come on. A lot of work and I, I almost wish I didn't let these cats out of the bag all at once, because I feel like I feel like these next few months are going to be very, very busy for us. **Thomas** (00:45:45:12 - 00:45:55:01): Yeah, well, I mean, some might even say that if you had all three of those shows greenlit at the exact same time, that might be a world record for greenlights, right? **Chip** (00:45:55:03 - 00:46:01:18): I'm telling you. Right. I think it would be. Speaking of which. Thomas. Is it time to open the good book? **UNRESOLVED** (00:46:01:23 - 00:46:04:11): It's time to open the good book. **Chip** (00:46:04:13 - 00:46:22:04): We on this podcast, it is a tropical vacation podcast, comedy podcast. And just in that Venn diagram of those people where like, you know what else people probably love because we love. It's the good book. We have some talk about it. It is the Guinness Book of World Records, maybe our favorite thing in the world. **Thomas** (00:46:22:04 - 00:46:41:04): And it has been for a long time, shared passion. Me and Chip love these. As a kid, we're still fascinated by the good book, and every week we pick out one titillating fact, each one titillating record, and we share it with you. We kick it around a little bit, and Chip, I just can't wait any longer. I've got to get into my do it. **Chip** (00:46:41:04 - 00:46:42:13): I'm I'm so excited here. **Thomas** (00:46:42:13 - 00:47:06:18): This okay for this week? I'm looking to the power and the beauty of nature. Chip. Ooh. As some of you may know, there was a tsunami scare in Hawaii recently. A lot of people were on guard. Thank goodness there wasn't, you know, much damage that took place there. But I was curious about what Su Nami have done in the past. What was their actually be scared of? And in the good book, I found the highest tsunami wash in recorded history. Chip. **Chip** (00:47:15:19 - 00:47:16:15): Wow. Okay. **Thomas** (00:47:16:15 - 00:47:24:15): On the 9th of July, 1958, a giant wave passed through Lake Louise Bay and Alaska. **Chip** (00:47:24:16 - 00:47:25:09): Oh, wow. **Thomas** (00:47:25:09 - 00:47:31:14): Okay, do you want to guess the height on this thing above the, the shoreline? **Chip** (00:47:31:16 - 00:47:33:17): Like. I like 20ft, brother. **Thomas** (00:47:33:17 - 00:47:42:04): I mean, I can't even understand how this is possible. 1719ft. **Chip** (00:47:42:06 - 00:47:45:07): That's like a that's like a quarter mile high. **Thomas** (00:47:45:08 - 00:47:50:23): It is almost the height of New York City's One World Trade Center. **Chip** (00:47:51:00 - 00:47:51:11): Oh my. **Thomas** (00:47:51:11 - 00:48:17:07): God. And it was moving at 100 miles an hour. Oh, can you even imagine? Like, I mean, there's just nothing you can do it, like wiped out, like full swaths of forests, from what I understand, and it was caused by an earthquake there. And just like the wrong turn of events started a massive rockslide and just sent this tsunami surging straight towards Alaska. Dude. **Chip** (00:48:18:02 - 00:48:22:13): Wow. Is. And I'm sure you probably didn't have the warning systems. They do now. **Thomas** (00:48:22:15 - 00:48:31:02): Oh, and then the 50s. No, no, no, they were still drinking and smoking when they were pregnant. There was no warnings of any kind in the 50s, from what I understand. **Chip** (00:48:31:08 - 00:48:37:11): Yeah, they were just having knife fights and the sharks and the Jets were just going at it. But what do you. **Thomas** (00:48:37:11 - 00:48:41:07): Do when you see a wall of water taller than the World Trade. **Chip** (00:48:41:07 - 00:48:46:14): Center? You know, you're just like, well, it's been a good run, I guess, right? Just a wall of water. **Thomas** (00:48:46:14 - 00:48:48:11): Yeah. Over 1000ft tall. **Chip** (00:48:48:11 - 00:48:48:19): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:48:48:21 - 00:48:50:23): Holy crap. That's unbelievable. **Chip** (00:48:50:23 - 00:48:51:18): That's wild. **Thomas** (00:48:51:18 - 00:49:01:15): So anyways, I was captivated by that. And, I once again, I'm glad everybody in Hawaii and any place that was under a tsunami or tsunami warning, is doing well. Yeah. But, yeah, we're we're not turning our back on that one. Those tsunamis can get insane, apparently. **Chip** (00:49:09:17 - 00:49:11:08): Yeah. Wow. **Thomas** (00:49:11:10 - 00:49:16:12): What corner of the world is your Guinness record? Taking a studio that. Yep. **Chip** (00:49:16:14 - 00:49:19:11): Well, we are taking a left hand turn from all of that. **Thomas** (00:49:19:15 - 00:49:21:01): Okay. **Chip** (00:49:21:03 - 00:49:25:08): We're actually coming home to my home. Pennsylvania. **Thomas** (00:49:25:10 - 00:49:27:00): Wow. Okay. **Chip** (00:49:27:02 - 00:49:33:01): And I'm going to throw a monkey wrench into the works right now. Just like 1000ft tsunami coming at your shores. Thomas, I'm going to tell you today about a guy who is not a world record holder. **UNRESOLVED** (00:49:41:02 - 00:49:44:08): Okay? This is this is a left turn. Yep. Yeah. **Chip** (00:49:44:10 - 00:50:03:04): He holds no Guinness Book of World Records. There's no there's no record that he holds. So you're like, so Chip, why would you talk about this guy. What is going on here? This man who I have met on numerous occasions, I can't believe he took this far into our good book talk about the Guinness Book of World Records to put you in together, remember? Oh, I need to talk about this guy. So he. If you look him up in the Guinness Book of World Records, I believe I'm 99% sure you're not going to find him in there. Okay. He applied. He made a pitch to be in the good book, a number of years ago, but he was allegedly turned down by Guinness Book of World Records because his feet was, quote, too dangerous to publish. **Thomas** (00:50:30:03 - 00:50:32:14): Okay. Now, I mean, this is getting juicy. **Chip** (00:50:32:16 - 00:50:48:15): Yeah. So. Okay, the the good book that we have currently now is so much fun. I love it and I feel like they went I think we talked about this a little kid friendly and it's just like fun. It's uplifting stuff. Back when we had those like little thick paperbacks. Yeah. There was some weird black and white photos of some people and some weird corners of the earth. Yeah, it had these abnormal body situations, or they did these feats that were just very dangerous at the least. Right. And I remember even sometimes the pages were in gray, like, so it's like it was almost like harder to read, like. Yeah, very weird. But it's just those musky old books. And this harkens back to that. So I guess you can apply to the Guinness Book of World Records. And they are the and they might be like, look, we don't need to promote this. It is dangerous. Somebody tries to copy this, they could literally perish. So yeah, we're going to do this. Okay. I will say this. I think it's a world record. I have seen this man accomplish this feat at close proximity. I'm talking I was maybe five feet away from him numerous times. **Thomas** (00:51:46:19 - 00:51:48:19): What is it? You gotta hear it. **Chip** (00:51:48:21 - 00:51:54:04): Okay, I'm going to tell you real quickly of Harley, the professional lunatic. **Thomas** (00:51:54:04 - 00:51:55:23): Unfamiliar. Hit me with it. **Chip** (00:51:55:23 - 00:52:19:04): Harley Newman is a gentleman. That I believe, from pets. I know he was living in Pennsylvania. I think he still is in Pennsylvania. He is probably what you would call a sideshow act. Okay? Like a circus carnival sideshow act that does these crazy stunts. I think he, like, swallow swords, breathes fire. All right, that type of, you know, that type of thing. **Thomas** (00:52:19:04 - 00:52:21:07): He's got a full sideshow skill set. **Chip** (00:52:21:07 - 00:52:42:20): Crazy sideshow skill set, by the way. He's also hilarious. He's super smart, dude. I think he has his master's degree in something. He's just, like, just the coolest guy. The reason I know him, I will say this is that, when I was a salt beginning my sophomore year, college in Allentown, Pennsylvania at Muhlenberg College, I was rushing a fraternity. I was thinking I was going to be in a fraternity. So you have rush week where the the fraternities invite you down, you have some parties, you have some events where you get to meet the brothers. They see if they see if you're worthy, maybe you can become a pledge or you decide if you wanna do that. So you would kind of have entertainment, right? For some of them. And I got invited. I was very excited. And the first one, it just said come down at like 7 p.m. on Tuesday night or whatever. And the entertainment, it just said comedian. I'm like, I love comedy. Yeah, stand up. I'm going to see a comedian. This man is not a comedian. Thompson I will say he is hilarious. He's very funny. I will say that, but he is a sideshow act that they would hire. So here are the things that he, he would do, as part of the show where it's just a bunch of, like, drunk college guys watching him, and he just he had a spellbound, by the way. Like, he just such a great performer. He was amazing. Here's some of the things he would do. He has this staircase made of very sharp swords and knives, and he would walk up the staircase made of swords and knives on bare feet. Okay, again, would do like the sword swallowing this, the fire breathing. I saw him a number of times because, you know. So I rushed the attorney and then I was in the fraternity. So for like two years after that, we hired him. So I think I've seen him. Yeah. Three times. In this small room that we have, it's not a huge area. We were the guys were kind of in the middle. He would escape a straitjacket while riding a unicycle. He would get on a unicycle and just ride around this room without a lot of room for it. Yeah, in a straitjacket. So, first of all, riding a unicycle, first of all. **Thomas** (00:54:27:10 - 00:54:28:20): You could never, could never. **Chip** (00:54:28:20 - 00:54:51:00): Go in a straitjacket. And then while riding the unicycle, he escaped from the straitjacket. It was amazing. Okay. His biggest, like, the one big feat that this was his grand finale. And we haven't even gotten to the world record yet. His grand finale was. He would have a couple of us wrap him. Speaking of quarter Mile Thomas. Yeah, we would wrap him in a cocoon of a quarter mile of Saran wrap, like numerous rolls of Saran wrap. And and like, you're like, oh, you Saran wrap a guy. Okay. It's like two inches thick of Saran wrap. Like, you know, sometimes it's hard when you like some. Oh, yeah. A, you know, like a sandwich or something in the fridge, and it's Saran wrap. You got, oh. There's like, imagine, like two inches thick of Saran wrap. Okay, I. **Thomas** (00:55:18:20 - 00:55:20:02): Can't, I can't. **Chip** (00:55:20:04 - 00:55:22:03): I can't breathe inside there. Thomas. Right. **Thomas** (00:55:22:04 - 00:55:24:08): Yeah. No, you're covering his face. **Chip** (00:55:24:10 - 00:55:45:21): Oh you're, he would he would ball up like on the floor and we would completely wrap him underneath. He was in a an egg of Saran wrap. And what we would what he would do. You ready for this? Yeah. He had a snorkel. He would. And we would keep the whole of the snorkel out. What? Because it takes like 5 or 10 minutes to wrap all of this thing up. And then he told us he's like, look, pop, here's a cork. Put a cork in the snorkel when you are finished so I can breathe. And then when you are finished, pop it. And then I can't breathe anymore and I will break out of it. Okay. He would take a number of minutes in this cocoon, and we watched him, and he would. He would say he gave a guy a knife, and he said, if you hear me screaming, please, I'll rip it open, and I need to be saved because I'm running out of oxygen and I'm going to die, okay? **Thomas** (00:56:18:15 - 00:56:19:07): Oh my gosh, I. **Chip** (00:56:19:08 - 00:56:38:12): Never heard him scream. I saw to him three times where he would roll around and break out of this cocoon. And just like he'd just be red faced and just. I probably lost 5 pounds of sweat, right? Yeah. And that was his big finale, and it was amazing. Okay, so all of that aside, I haven't gotten to the world record. Okay, here's another thing that he would do. He would lie on a bed of nails. You've seen this before. Yeah, I've seen this. **Thomas** (00:56:46:00 - 00:56:48:09): But, like, still very uncomfortable. **Chip** (00:56:48:11 - 00:56:56:23): He would lie on a bed of nails and have, like, a number of us, like, I'm talking like 5 or 6, maybe more of college fraternity brothers. **Thomas** (00:56:57:00 - 00:56:57:08): Yeah. **Chip** (00:56:57:08 - 00:57:16:11): Stand on him at the same time. Like he would put, like, a kind of cushion or something like that over top of him. So he's laying on a bed and then we would stand on top of him while he was laying on a bed. And yes. And then he would lay on the bed of nails. He had this like, it was like a picture, like a pillow with some plywood attached to the top of it. Right. That was like a laptop that you put your laptop on. He put that on his face, and then he would have one of us. You ready for this? Yeah. We would then place a cinderblock on that plywood, and we would smash the cinderblock with a sledgehammer on his face while he was on a bed of nails. **Thomas** (00:57:34:09 - 00:57:35:21): This is. **Chip** (00:57:35:23 - 00:57:50:06): Okay. Here's okay. Here's where gets crazy. This is where it gets crazy from. Yeah. From what? You know about somebody who lives on a bed of nails. How does that work without you dying? Like, what is the physics behind that, Thomas, do you think? **Thomas** (00:57:50:08 - 00:58:00:06): I mean, it's got to be like, pressure per square inch or something like that. It's going to be dispersed over multiple nail heads to the exact weight. That's not going to pierce the skin. **Chip** (00:58:00:12 - 00:58:11:20): It is weight distribution. It's, you know, you can do it. And I'm going to be honest, after the main show, he's like, hey, if anybody wants to hang out, he would like have a beer with us. And then he's like, if anybody wants to lie on a bed of nails, I will teach you how to land a bed. That's I've got I've laid on a bed of nails a couple of times under Harley's supervision. And it's amazing. You're just like I'm laying on a bed of nails right now. It's awesome. Right? But we. And there's a way to do it. You have to ease into it. And, you know, you disperse your weight. And. Yeah. So I've done that, right. I, I haven't had guy stand on me. I haven't had somebody bring a cinder block on my face. But I've learned, goodness. **UNRESOLVED** (00:58:30:10 - 00:58:35:02): You can know. What's that. You can always hope someday. **Chip** (00:58:35:04 - 00:58:45:09): Someday. Thomas. Okay. Here is the world record that he has set, that the Guinness Book of World Records has deemed too dangerous to publish. **Thomas** (00:58:45:09 - 00:58:47:12): Too hot for the good book. **Chip** (00:58:47:14 - 00:59:24:19): Too hot for TV. Thomas, you ready for this? Okay. You talked about weight distribution. There are hundreds of nails that he's laying on. So if you. Yeah, he's, you know, probably 185, 200 pounds. You spaced that over a couple hundred nails. Yeah. You know, you can figure it out. I have seen him without any padding, without any, like, magic tricks, whatever he has, like he would lay on the world record he holds for the smallest number of nails on a bed of nails. Well, again, it's about weight distribution. So instead of hundreds, do you want to take a guess as to the bed of nails? How many nails he would lie on for? For this feat? **Thomas** (00:59:35:15 - 00:59:39:00): I mean, 100, I don't know. **Chip** (00:59:39:01 - 00:59:43:09): That's a very good guess. Thomas 100. Could you imagine that? Think about that. That's like. **Thomas** (00:59:43:11 - 00:59:47:22): It seems like way too. Seems way too few to me. But it's a world record. **Chip** (00:59:47:22 - 01:00:08:13): I'm guessing just 100 now. So all of that body weight just on 100 nails. You ready for this, Thomas? Yeah, for four nails. For nine inch nails. Literal nine inch nails. They're like spikes that he has coming up. It's I think it was about a foot or two wide on this, like, little thing. And it was just four nails coming up. And he would it took a little time, but he just disperses his weight somehow and he would lie on for nails. Well, like on his back is I think it was like lower back and maybe like his rib cage like, and he lay on it and it, it would take him a few minutes to like adjust and, and then he would lift his body off the ground and lie on for and like he showed it like we got to touch the nails. This is not like, oh, he wore them down to where these are sharp nails. And he would lie on a bed of four nails. So he's like, that is the world record for the fewest nails on a bed of nails that a human being can lie on. And, apparently Guinness, has said it's, too dangerous to publish, so they don't do it because if you or I tried that, we would currently be deceased. **Thomas** (01:00:58:23 - 01:01:02:22): Yeah, we'd have four, nine inch nails. Through our torso. Through our. **Chip** (01:01:04:13 - 01:01:22:15): Torso. Because we are not Harley the professional lunatic. And I have to say, we have given shout outs to burnt ones in the past. You know, like, there's a lot of pro. I don't even know if he's a burnt one. He. I think he's just, you know, he's almost too badass to be a burnt one. Do you like I, I think he would be totally cool to hang out with. And I forget he's the nicest guy. But it's just like, is he burnt one or not? I don't know, he's a sweetheart of a guy, but, like, this dude is great. And by the way, he is done. He's done this for decades. He's he's been on The Tonight Show, the today show. He's been on Ripley's Believe It or Not! He was on Thomas, your favorite show of all time, Steve Harvey's big time challenge. **Thomas** (01:01:42:18 - 01:01:43:18): Oh, my gosh. **Chip** (01:01:43:18 - 01:02:04:05): I don't know exactly what he did on that show. And in 2024 last year. Yeah, it was a big time challenge. But last year, 2024, Harley was given a lifetime achievement award for Coney Island's, Sideshow Hootenanny. He got a lifetime achievement award for being, one of the coolest, most badass, sideshow acts. So there it is. The world record. That's not official. It's too dangerous lying on a bed of four nails. **Thomas** (01:02:10:05 - 01:02:13:12): Yeah, that's going to stand for a while. **UNRESOLVED** (01:02:13:14 - 01:02:15:12): That's. I mean, you're going to try three. **Thomas** (01:02:15:13 - 01:02:17:10): You're going. Gonna try three. That's impossible. Now, now. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Well I mean that's great. Thanks for sharing that. Yeah. This this guy sounds like the real deal. **UNRESOLVED** (01:02:27:08 - 01:02:28:20): He's the real deal. Yeah. **Thomas** (01:02:28:22 - 01:02:43:23): I love it. That's wild. Well, dude, we are coming up towards the end of our time here. We gotta get into some buffet facts here. We do some facts about mister Jimmy Buffett. People don't know these yet. Yeah, we've. Done some deep, deep research. We've figured out unless you're the hardcore of the hardcore, this is going to be brand new information. And we're just, thrilled to celebrate this legend, to celebrate this man and give you a couple more insights into, really, the scope and the, this basically just the scope of his accomplishments. **Chip** (01:03:09:14 - 01:03:13:11): Yeah. The man lived the life. You want to you want to go Thomas. **Thomas** (01:03:13:13 - 01:03:29:21): Yeah. I think this one's important. It, deals with his effect on commerce in the, you know, island world. Yeah. Jimmy Buffett song Cheeseburger in Paradise single handedly destroyed the tropical hot dog industry. **Chip** (01:03:29:21 - 01:03:32:11): He's a titan of industry and tropic. **Thomas** (01:03:32:13 - 01:03:35:19): That song is a forest. When was the last time you listen to Cheeseburger in Paradise? **Chip** (01:03:35:19 - 01:03:53:23): It's a fun one. I do have it. I think it is on our sun burnt, playlist, by the way. People listen to the song, the playlist. It's on Apple. Apple Music, I think it's just called summer 2025. It's playlist, by the way. Shout out to my buddy Brian Craig, who sends me suggestions and I just, I keep adding them to. So there's A1I think it's was it from the Four Tops? It's, what's it called? It's a great, it's a great song. I think it was made for the I think he said it was made for the Buster soundtrack. And if you remember the the movie Buster, starring Phil Collins. In the 80s. And this song was apparently I never saw the movie, but it was made for the movie. I just want to look at it real quick, son. Bert 2025. Look it up on Apple Music. You can follow it. It's by the Four Tops. This is a little after their peak of the peak of The temptations, a little after peak. But this was in the 80s. It's called Loco in Acapulco. Loco in Acapulco. I mean, come on, how's that? What's more burnt than that? **Thomas** (01:04:38:20 - 01:04:40:21): That's pretty burnt. I love it that, **Chip** (01:04:40:23 - 01:04:46:13): But Cheeseburger Paradise is on that summer 2025 Apple Music and Spotify playlist. So check that out. **Thomas** (01:04:46:16 - 01:04:54:02): It's the equivalent of wearing Hawaiians and going to see a movie with your friends. It's just silly and fun. **UNRESOLVED** (01:04:54:04 - 01:04:54:19): **Thomas** (01:04:54:21 - 01:04:58:03): And if you get on board you're going to have a really good time. **Chip** (01:04:58:05 - 01:04:59:14): Yeah. Absolutely. **Thomas** (01:04:59:18 - 01:05:04:20): All right. What do you got. What do you got by way of Jimmy Buffett facts. Chip what do you got for this. **Chip** (01:05:04:22 - 01:05:08:19): This is a profound one. This goes into I think, a higher power. **Thomas** (01:05:08:21 - 01:05:10:11): Oh spiritual. **Chip** (01:05:10:13 - 01:05:26:00): Spiritual. And that's that's the type of man he was. Here's my Jimmy Buffett fact. When Jimmy Buffett passed away in 2023, he had no regrets on his death. Hammock. **Thomas** (01:05:26:02 - 01:05:29:14): Thank goodness that's the sign of a life lived well. **UNRESOLVED** (01:05:29:16 - 01:05:30:16): **Thomas** (01:05:31:04 - 01:05:34:06): And Yeah. Some you. That man loved a hammock, I'll tell you that. **Chip** (01:05:34:06 - 01:06:03:04): I mean can you imagine just, I mean I don't want to get too, dark, but I think it can be an uplifting thing. Can you just imagine, Thomas, someday, many decades from now, when you were just surrounded by, that little girl who used to slap your sunburned belly and some other loved ones, and they're just surrounded around your death hammock, and you're just listening to some tunes, feeling that breeze ready to go to that tropical island in the sky. **Thomas** (01:06:03:04 - 01:06:06:10): It's going out on your own terms. Yep. When was the last time you were in a hammock, buddy? **Chip** (01:06:06:12 - 01:06:25:14): I could not tell you. I know my buddy Tom in a different Tom Thomas, one of my one of my fraternity brothers who was also seen Harley, a professional lunatic. He lived in Burlington, Vermont. Definitely did some hippie stuff, Burlington, Vermont for a number of years. And he literally slept on a hammock. Like, they had this, like, kind of screened in, you know, like, porch structure. Yeah. He would sleep in a hammock. Many, many a time. Like, that was like his bed for a while. **Thomas** (01:06:31:14 - 01:06:32:10): I like it, dude. **Chip** (01:06:32:11 - 01:06:38:02): He's. He's like the professor and Gilligan wrapped up into one. I can't tell you. When was the last time you were in a hammock? **Thomas** (01:06:38:04 - 01:06:43:22): I know on my honeymoon, there was a hammock at the resort we were at in Mexico. Yeah. So I think that was probably it. **Chip** (01:06:43:23 - 01:07:02:19): There are. By the way, speaking of, that street, Spruce Street, Harbor Park that we went to after the, after the movie, it's, you know, we were down right by the water on the Marina with, like, you know, these couches. And there was like some they even have some sand. And it was great. But they do have an area which with a bunch of hammocks, like trees with a bunch of hammocks. And, man, that first year, it first Street Harbor Park probably opened about ten or so years ago. And that first year it was like people were vying to get those hammocks like, yeah, you want to you want to claim a hammock. So you could just have a drink and just in the hammock. And then the rumors of the head lice started. Oh, no. And so I still see a lot of people laying on them, but that's I the first season I decided I laid on some hammocks there. That was probably, maybe the last time I was on a hammock. And I decided, you know, I'm going to stick to some other pieces of furniture from now on. **Thomas** (01:07:36:14 - 01:07:42:00): Some might argue that the real citywide special is head lice, and. **Chip** (01:07:42:02 - 01:07:47:23): It really is. For only $3. You get some itching and scratching. You scratch that itch, Tommy. **Thomas** (01:07:48:01 - 01:07:58:14): All right, buddy, well, that's our time. This has been the sunburn podcast where we talk about comedy. Tropical travel. Until next time, stay burnt. Front desk. **Chip** (01:07:58:14 - 01:08:05:16): Hey, this is Mr. Chandler in room 308. Real quick, I'm looking for a nine letter word. Starts with K. Another word for abducted. Oh, kidnaped. Kidnaped. Oh, yeah. That works. Kidnap. Oh, yeah. Okay, so my uncle has been kidnaped. Do you know the best way to wire some ransom money from the hotel? **Thomas** (01:08:14:20 - 01:08:16:04): I'll send security right up.
