Surfing on Fire, Brazil’s Beach Kings & Clothing-Optional Cruise Rules 😂🌴 | Sunburnt Podcast Ep. 27

**Thomas** (00:00:00:00 - 00:00:11:15): What a burnt one's. This is the Sun Burnt podcast where we talk about comedy and tropical travel. To my right, you know I'm from Netflix. And his unbelievable comedy special Move Closer. It's Philadelphia's own chip Chantry. **Chip** (00:00:11:17 - 00:00:19:04): And over here to my left is Emmy Award winning writer, producer, and world renowned tap dancer, Mr. Thomas O'Brien. How are you, Thomas? **Thomas** (00:00:19:04 - 00:00:21:19): I'm very light on my feet and I keep incredible rhythm. **Chip** (00:00:21:19 - 00:00:49:13): You do? It's. It's all from the ankles down. That's why we call you ankles down. O'Brien is because that's where the best of you lies. And that's what. That's what we're all looking for in this podcast, my friend. Speaking of this podcast, I'm so excited. I'm jealous of the viewer right now that they're going to experience this. We're talking about nude cruises, breaking world records, Jimmy Buffett facts, and your sweet feet and a foot issue that you had this week. I mean, what else is there to talk about? **Thomas** (00:00:52:22 - 00:00:56:11): What it is, what it is. Yeah. You guys are going to hear about my. **Chip** (00:00:56:11 - 00:01:02:02): Feet that you say all those piggies didn't go to market. **Thomas** (00:01:02:04 - 00:01:04:19): Yeah. Some of them use eat fresh and get it delivered. **Chip** (00:01:04:19 - 00:01:05:02): They do. **Thomas** (00:01:05:05 - 00:01:12:09): This is the The Sunburnt podcast. If you like tropical travel and Covid, they stay down. Front desk. **Chip** (00:01:12:09 - 00:01:19:09): Hi, this is Mr. Chantry. I am really disappointed in my 311 themed room. There's no photos. The band, there's no instruments. There's nothing we. **Thomas** (00:01:19:09 - 00:01:23:09): Don't have, 311 themed room. You're just in room 311. **Chip** (00:01:23:10 - 00:01:24:23): Okay, can I move to the sugary sweet? **Thomas** (00:01:24:23 - 00:01:47:12): Yes, of course. And you can pick from any of the. I just want to fly in room dining options. Chip. It is episode 27 of the sunburn podcast. We are sitting pretty at 97 days away from Chip Chantry. Thanksgiving in Paradise, under under triple digits. Man, this is happening. It's barreling right towards us. And I couldn't be more excited. **Chip** (00:01:47:12 - 00:02:09:20): Just over three months. This is your first. This is like, I think, the greatest opportunity to book your trip to Hawaii. We're going away this Thanksgiving. I'm doing two shows the night before Thanksgiving in Waikiki at the Blue Note Jazz Club. I'm super psyched. We're bringing some friends out. We'll bring some burnt ones out. If you're thinking, man, I have to make plans for Thanksgiving with my family in the cold. No, you do not come see us. Come hang out in Hawaii. Get some sun, get some fun, get some sand, get some turkey, baby. **Thomas** (00:02:16:23 - 00:02:37:08): Yeah. And if you're going to get tickets, please make sure to go to Blue Note hawaii.com or sunburnt podcast.com. Because I, I've no idea what's happened with the secondary ticket market. But when I look up chips after Thanksgiving in Paradise there's about 50 different sites. Some tickets listed for as much as $1,000. **Chip** (00:02:37:08 - 00:02:45:22): Chip, that's a credit. That's the funniest thing. Like, I think you can buy tickets for crypto, and certain back sites on the dark web. **Thomas** (00:02:46:00 - 00:02:57:23): It's all over the place. If you look up Chip, Tangerine, Thanksgiving, Paradise, just make sure you get it from one of those two places, because we don't want you to get overcharged. And, we would like you to buy directly from the venue. **Chip** (00:02:57:23 - 00:03:01:03): So that's Thanksgiving, Thomas. That's in the future. How's your weekend? **Thomas** (00:03:01:04 - 00:03:16:03): My weekend was great, dude. I, I hit that, beachy beach again with the family. Really got my technique down with the beach car. We were talking about it last week. I was just dragging that thing through the sand. I was doing it and properly. Chip. **Chip** (00:03:16:05 - 00:03:17:13): What's the proper methodology for? **Thomas** (00:03:17:14 - 00:03:32:15): The cart has different settings for the handle. Okay, that I was unaware of, so I was able to get a different angle on that dangle. Yeah, it's really pull really pull forward kind of from the base as opposed to from the top. **Chip** (00:03:32:17 - 00:03:33:01): Okay. **Thomas** (00:03:33:05 - 00:03:43:15): And it really it really changed the whole process. The cart worked great. We were able to get to and fro much easier and just had another great day at the beach, man. Tough to beat. **Chip** (00:03:43:16 - 00:03:50:02): These people are not just getting beach stories, tropical story, some comedy. They're getting physique lessons right now. **Thomas** (00:03:50:06 - 00:03:50:20): **Chip** (00:03:50:22 - 00:04:08:05): They're learning about gravity. Thrust. I'm gonna say thrust. I think drag all of that, all of the all of the wagon physics that they need. And I'm pretty happy about it. You don't gotta do. By the way, you were at the beach. We should start to slather this on, right? **Thomas** (00:04:08:05 - 00:04:09:17): Are you feeling like one today? Yep. **Chip** (00:04:09:21 - 00:04:13:23): I'm feeling like one today. I'm putting this block on right now. **Thomas** (00:04:14:01 - 00:04:22:16): We're getting to go and getting the slather happening. And I did this properly, this weekend of the beach, too. No burns on this boy. **Chip** (00:04:22:18 - 00:04:25:10): So, no, baby slapping bellies, **Thomas** (00:04:25:12 - 00:04:38:14): Oh. She's still doing that. But, it doesn't hurt as much. It is stinging. Yeah. She goes belly and then slaps your belly. Bang. It's fun. She is a fun little lady. **Chip** (00:04:38:20 - 00:04:41:06): My wife does the same thing, so it's. **Thomas** (00:04:41:08 - 00:04:47:14): Oh, I think I think, Kim and Al are really going to get along. Yeah. See each other. In Hawaii though. **Chip** (00:04:47:19 - 00:04:58:07): In, in Hawaii, getting their tan, slapping bellies all over the place. I had a great weekend, by the way. I was in tropical Wilkesboro, Pennsylvania. **Thomas** (00:04:58:09 - 00:05:00:08): All right, let's hear about it. **Chip** (00:05:00:12 - 00:05:17:02): For those for those office fans out there right next to Scranton, Pennsylvania, the sister city, if you will, or the twin sister or the the stepbrother city, I don't know, it's very near Scranton, Pennsylvania. I was up there in the hills at Mohegan Sun at Wisecrack. Here's one of my favorite cops. It's one of my favorite places to go. I love, the people who run it. And, the crowds were great. And this is wild. I some burnt ones are starting to come out to the shows. **Thomas** (00:05:25:19 - 00:05:34:23): It fires me up so much. And in case you think we're just talking turkey here, Chip literally texted me. He's like, dude, there's burnt ones in the audience. **Chip** (00:05:34:23 - 00:05:36:02): Where they're Hawaiians. **Thomas** (00:05:36:04 - 00:05:40:20): Peeking out from behind that curtain and seeing burnt ones there. That's so exciting. **Chip** (00:05:41:00 - 00:05:59:13): Yeah, yeah. So, So. Yeah. So it was. It was a really fun weekend of shows. And, now we're back at it, buddy. We're back at it. And and this week, I should I should, mention this if you're listening to this, right when it comes out, this Sunday, the 24th, I'm going to be in Portland, Maine. **Thomas** (00:05:59:15 - 00:06:00:10): Oh, yeah. **Chip** (00:06:00:10 - 00:06:16:12): At the Empire Comedy Club, at Empire Comedy Club in Portland, Maine. Going to be hanging out in Maine for a couple days. So if if you are a Portlander and you have any suggestions, my wife and I are going to be hanging out for a few days, then, I love Portland. I've been up a couple times, but if any suggestions for restaurants, bars, anything like that, let me know. So yeah. So I got to do these plugs right off the bat. I'm just I'm plugging away today. **Thomas** (00:06:20:21 - 00:06:21:08): Yeah, you're. **Chip** (00:06:21:08 - 00:06:42:12): Putting it straight away. This Friday, the 22nd in the Philadelphia area I'm going to be at Soul Joel's in Pottstown this Friday the 22nd and then Portland, Maine on the 24th. I'm I can't wait to it's I'm in vacation week right now Thomas. It's that that week before that so exciting. I have a big thing that I have to do, that we've been talking about. A big project I've been working on comes to a culmination tomorrow that I'm a little. I'm sweating a little bit, but, like, I'm excited for it. And then once that's over. But then I'm just, like, focusing on, like, going to get the car washed, going to get my oil change, going to start packing like I'm just in vacation mode for the first time in a long time. And, I am I'm I'm very psyched right now. I'm feeling the buzz. **Thomas** (00:07:04:21 - 00:07:23:11): Dude, I'm excited for you, too. And I also know that, like, the Portland man is not just like some place that you really love. Portland, man. And, like, specifically went out of your way to book this show in this place. It's part of our 2025 mindset of like, let's, let's go where we want to go and do the things we want to do and places we're obsessed with. **Chip** (00:07:23:13 - 00:07:41:22): Yeah, I've been to Portland, I performed there, and just like it was sort of like a one nighter room. This is before the pandemic, but, my wife met my wife, and I've been going up there for years, and, I was like, I, they have a club that everybody said is great. So I was like, why not attach a show and then be able to spend some days up there? So I'm, I'm very excited and some college friends are coming out. We're gonna hang out with them. So, I'm, I'm psyched. **Thomas** (00:07:47:12 - 00:07:50:12): Also, you talking about, Scranton, PA? **Chip** (00:07:50:17 - 00:07:51:00): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:07:51:03 - 00:08:04:09): Remind me of how how intertwined we are with the office in actuality, because we met in Stamford, Connecticut, which is where Jim transferred to from Scranton. And the office for all you office heads. **Chip** (00:08:04:09 - 00:08:17:11): Not that we saw much. We basically just saw the office. But he did have, like, a little view of the water. I remember like that first episode he was in Stamford. Not the Stamford that I was sold. Once I got to Stamford, Connecticut to work on our TV show. **Thomas** (00:08:17:13 - 00:08:24:03): You had some feelings about Stamford? It's a it's a conflicting place. There's a lot of different things coming together at Stamford, Connecticut. **Chip** (00:08:24:05 - 00:08:35:12): There really is. It is a casserole of the human condition is really good. And sprinkled on top of that casserole is just dust from scratch off lottery tickets. **Thomas** (00:08:35:14 - 00:08:38:01): That's. **Chip** (00:08:38:02 - 00:08:56:19): Yeah, I love I did love, I did love Stamford, Connecticut. It was, it was a fun time in my life. And, I mean, just just the job itself. I mean, just working with everybody there was was the best. And then I. And I fell back because, like, we worked very long hours. Like, I didn't have much time to really go out and explore the wonders of Stamford, Connecticut. **Thomas** (00:08:56:21 - 00:08:59:12): I mean, we hit Bobby V's pretty regularly. **Chip** (00:08:59:14 - 00:09:06:12): Bobby V's Curly's Diner, two seasons with those two old ladies who were always angry at each other. **Thomas** (00:09:06:14 - 00:09:11:05): Yeah, well, I mean, do you hard boil that many eggs? Are you going to get along with anybody? **Chip** (00:09:11:07 - 00:09:28:12): Yeah, I think going eggs is kind of like working with mercury at some point. Do you know what I mean? Like, it's just the shells. Just get into those neurons. That's what I think. That's what I think. That's what it is. It was like the most upscale, quaint little. It was just like, kind of like a diner. **Thomas** (00:09:28:14 - 00:09:30:18): Yeah, but it wasn't. **Chip** (00:09:30:20 - 00:09:49:08): And it was I, I the food was great, and it was like, sometimes just like, pretty, like healthy food, like, I was. It was like the one thing I was trying to be, like, healthy. Or I would go to Curly's Diner and just like, slather on some, you know, omelets and sausage and God knows what else. Just 1030 oil. **Thomas** (00:09:49:08 - 00:09:58:09): That was the place to do it, that's for sure. Yeah. The last thing people expected when they tuned into a tropical comedy podcast was a lockdown Stamford, Connecticut memory lane. **Chip** (00:09:58:09 - 00:10:04:02): Chalk that up as just a little postcard from sunny Stamford. **Thomas** (00:10:04:04 - 00:10:08:20): All right, well, I think I think maybe it's time to get into it. Dude, the meat of it. **Chip** (00:10:08:20 - 00:10:10:09): Very interesting word to use. **Thomas** (00:10:10:09 - 00:10:20:17): To realize that the sun's out. That also maybe the buns should be out in a cruise fashion. Yeah. We're talking about, up and coming nude cruise ship. **Chip** (00:10:20:17 - 00:10:27:03): Bare necessities tour and travel. And he. What a t shirt right there. Yeah. You're never going to wear a pair. **Thomas** (00:10:27:05 - 00:10:27:21): Yeah. **Chip** (00:10:27:23 - 00:10:44:03): Bare Necessities Tour and Travel has announced the quote. The big nude boat. It's a cruise. An 11 day, all naked, all inclusive cruise this coming February. If that sounds good to you, it's going to be over Valentine's Day, which is. **Thomas** (00:10:44:07 - 00:10:45:06): Oh wow. **Chip** (00:10:45:11 - 00:11:00:19): What better way to celebrate? That's got to be a very difficult time to give a Valentine a gift. Like if you're a secret admirer or something like that, be like, hey, here's a box of chocolates and here's something else right here. You know. **Thomas** (00:11:00:19 - 00:11:01:12): **Chip** (00:11:01:14 - 00:11:09:07): Do I have something like you can't propose? By the way, nobody's getting proposed to on that nude cruise. Where? Where do you keep the ring? **Thomas** (00:11:09:07 - 00:11:10:00): Where do you hide it? **Chip** (00:11:10:00 - 00:11:24:23): Yeah, yeah, that's that's not happening, but. Yeah. So the the big nude boat sailing out of Miami this February. This coming February, it goes to Aruba, the Bahamas, Jamaica, all the Kokomo spots. **Thomas** (00:11:25:02 - 00:11:26:13): Yeah, really hot spots. **Chip** (00:11:26:18 - 00:11:29:06): But they're going to be naked the whole time. **Thomas** (00:11:29:08 - 00:11:30:04): **Chip** (00:11:30:15 - 00:11:39:18): Oh, by the way, I mean great locations. That would be amazing if they just decided to do a all nude Alaskan cruise. **Thomas** (00:11:39:20 - 00:11:42:17): It. I mean, that's a tougher sell for sure. **Chip** (00:11:42:19 - 00:12:01:14): Yeah, just it's going to be chilly, but you're going to enjoy yourself. But get out there, get some frostbite in some places. And. Yeah, they do have rules that this is not like an all out, like, you know, just crazy, you know, orgy or anything like that. There are some rules. **Thomas** (00:12:01:16 - 00:12:06:18): Okay, okay. Well, what are the rules? What are the rules on this nude float? **Chip** (00:12:06:19 - 00:12:20:08): I thought this this article that I read, it's so funny. There's a disclaimer. It said, the passengers must wear clothes in the dining room, but not at the poolside buffet. **Thomas** (00:12:20:10 - 00:12:22:08): That's my favorite part. **Chip** (00:12:22:10 - 00:12:26:03): So if you want to eat naked, you got to do it outside on natural. **Thomas** (00:12:26:03 - 00:12:27:22): Yeah. Alfresco. **Chip** (00:12:28:00 - 00:12:28:06): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:12:28:07 - 00:12:32:05): I wonder if that's like, I, I do feel like that probably is a health code thing. **Chip** (00:12:32:10 - 00:12:33:17): 100% health code thing. **Thomas** (00:12:33:20 - 00:12:40:04): I actually had, an experience this weekend. I went to, like, this Japanese restaurant, and it's like, supposed to be. **Chip** (00:12:40:05 - 00:12:44:04): Oh, that in in Culver City that that all new Japanese restaurant. **Thomas** (00:12:44:09 - 00:12:46:10): The all new Japanese restaurant. **Chip** (00:12:46:16 - 00:12:50:17): Made that Benny hot. That Benihana chef must be good. **Thomas** (00:12:50:19 - 00:12:53:06): That's all I he must be. **Chip** (00:12:53:06 - 00:12:53:19): Very. **Thomas** (00:12:53:19 - 00:12:56:22): Skilled. He does a couple of tricks you haven't seen. **Chip** (00:12:56:22 - 00:12:59:16): Yeah, not just not just flipping that shrimp into those mouths. **Thomas** (00:12:59:16 - 00:13:22:15): No, it's, I, I don't I guess it's supposed to be, like, very authentic, but it's like one of the it's it's a Japanese restaurant where you have to take off your shoes to enter. Okay. And then the floor of the restaurant is elevated. Okay. And you have to, like, kind of climb into a little hole and you sit on the floor and eat at the eat at the table. **Chip** (00:13:22:20 - 00:13:23:19): Okay. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:13:23:21 - 00:13:39:23): But I noticed when I got in there that like all the diners, all the, the guests have to take off their shoes. But because of like, restaurant workers rules, everybody that works there has to wear appropriate footwear for food service. **Chip** (00:13:40:00 - 00:13:52:13): Yeah, I think that makes sense. You don't want to drop stuff on your feet or obviously get your feet into the food because you know, when you're a waiter, you accidentally like, oh yeah, dip into the kettle of soup. **Thomas** (00:13:52:15 - 00:13:57:13): You, Michael Scott, you cook your foot. **Chip** (00:13:57:15 - 00:14:05:19): Exactly. With the, they did say in this article, too, that the cruise employees will be fully clothed. **Thomas** (00:14:05:21 - 00:14:06:19): There you go. Yeah. **Chip** (00:14:06:20 - 00:14:17:18): So it's not there's not naked sailors. There's not tap dancing sailors. They will be fully clothed. All the staff that would that would be that would be a tough sell. Like. **Thomas** (00:14:17:20 - 00:14:18:12): Yeah. **Chip** (00:14:18:13 - 00:14:39:09): If you are somebody who works on a cruise ship, you're a waiter or waitress or, you know, whatever, you know, you know, you know, a maintenance person on a cruise ship and then they're just like, all right, by the way, guys, this week, you you're all going naked. You got to do like, just imagine showing up to your job, and they're like, all right, close off this week, buddy. You know, like, I don't think that this is part of my you know, this is this is not part of my contract here. **Thomas** (00:14:44:16 - 00:15:15:06): Yeah. That would definitely be a tough sell for me. You're going to be nude with a bunch of nudes. But also, I think there's a double layer of protection by having the staff wear clothes, because then, I mean, how do you know who's staff if everybody's just running around naked? And how do you know you're getting you know, busboy Bob working your table as opposed from creepy Bob who's, who's really just trying to flash around? Flash around your sensitive areas. **Chip** (00:15:17:07 - 00:15:36:17): Right? Plus those those workers, like, if you're not wearing anything, those name tags have to hurt to stay on air. I'm saying like that is a piercing issue that I don't think they need. So no, I get that. So you need to be identified as staff. Yeah. So I don't want to be I don't want to be a waiter, bartender. And have to be, you know, naked. I also I also don't want to receive a drink from. I don't want to get a my tie from a naked bartender. That's not something that I need. **Thomas** (00:15:46:05 - 00:16:04:22): Yeah, and I think also, like, as we like to do on this podcast, follow the money. Yes. That's something we're talking about following the money. And I will say I think who might be behind this nude cruise trend could be big sunscreen ship. **Chip** (00:16:05:00 - 00:16:13:10): It has to be big sunscreen. I mean, you are slather enough places you have not slathered in years. And there's square footage there. **Thomas** (00:16:13:16 - 00:16:16:14): Yeah. It's a surface area issue. **Chip** (00:16:16:15 - 00:16:17:19): Yeah absolutely. **Thomas** (00:16:17:19 - 00:16:24:14): Skin more there. There's a cover. Yeah. So you're you're in Bermuda Bahama. You're coming on pretty mama. **Chip** (00:16:24:15 - 00:16:24:23): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:16:24:23 - 00:16:34:03): You but you're using 3 to 4 times the sunscreen is if you were just covering up your face arms legs and belly. **Chip** (00:16:34:05 - 00:16:42:05): Right. So yeah I, I can see where that is. Yeah I that that has to be big sunscreen behind this thing. **Thomas** (00:16:42:07 - 00:16:44:21): Or at least work in and conjecture with. **Chip** (00:16:44:23 - 00:16:46:16): Yes. Yeah. Conjecture. **Thomas** (00:16:46:18 - 00:16:48:20): That's not that's not the word there. It's a joint venture. **Chip** (00:16:49:00 - 00:17:05:04): It's a joint venture I think that's what it is. By the way, I will say so they're not always going to be naked, like I said, in the, dining rooms and whenever the port authorities come aboard. So, I guess, like when you come into a port, the Port Authority comes into, like, check everything out, make sure everything's kosher. You must be closed for them because, you know. No, nobody wants to see that. And I love their verbiage for this. They said they must exercise modesty while they're in port. So, you know, they have to wear, like, if they get off the boat and get on to one of these islands, they have to be clothed. Them's them's the rules. Yeah, but could you imagine just being in a port and just a giant ship comes to dock, and then just thousands of naked people just come ashore? Like, that's that's naked D-Day right there. Like that. **Thomas** (00:17:38:18 - 00:17:41:19): Really? Is there storm in the beach at that point? **Chip** (00:17:41:21 - 00:17:43:00): They want 100%. **Thomas** (00:17:43:03 - 00:17:43:23): I will be. **Chip** (00:17:44:00 - 00:17:46:20): No, I would retreat. I think I would retreat. **Thomas** (00:17:47:01 - 00:17:51:06): Just a lot of, a lot of army helmets. Chip. **Chip** (00:17:51:08 - 00:17:58:20): It's it's all just army helmets and just those, what are the things called the bandoliers or whatever, where they have the, the belt of bullets like that? **Thomas** (00:17:58:22 - 00:18:01:11): Oh, yeah. Like Rambo. Yeah. That's all. **Chip** (00:18:01:11 - 00:18:03:07): That's all it is. **Thomas** (00:18:03:09 - 00:18:05:05): Yeah. So. And this is just, **Chip** (00:18:05:07 - 00:18:07:17): Imagine if you. Okay. You're 18 years old. **Thomas** (00:18:07:23 - 00:18:08:07): Yes. **Chip** (00:18:08:12 - 00:18:36:08): You don't know if you're going to college. Can't really pay for it. You're kind of lost. You want to get out of your small town. So you're like, I'm going to join the military, I'm enlisting. And you're just like Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard. And you just like, check one and you're like, all right, you go and you enlist and you, like, show up and they, like, give you a year maybe, like, I don't know, sheets or whatever, you know, the first day and you're waiting for the uniform. **Thomas** (00:18:36:09 - 00:18:37:02): **Chip** (00:18:37:04 - 00:18:42:23): And then they're like, oh, no, son, there's no uniform. You you've signed up for the Naked Army. **Thomas** (00:18:43:01 - 00:18:44:13): The Naked Navy? **Chip** (00:18:44:15 - 00:18:55:21): Yeah, yeah, you said it for the Naked Navy. For the next four years, you will not be issued a single piece of clothing and then. But, hey, you got to pay for college somehow. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:18:55:22 - 00:19:23:01): That also, we're not nudists. I don't know anything about this community. No, but I am curious. Like, what do you think the breakdown of desires is like when it comes to being a nudist on a ship? Is the enjoyment more being around other naked people or and like, you know, seeing them or whatever? Or is it just being nude yourself, being free by not having yet another arbitrary restriction put on how you're living your life at this given moment? **Chip** (00:19:23:05 - 00:19:31:02): That seems like how it sold whenever I looked up anything like this, you know, when I did the research on this, it was like, yeah, you just get to be free and be who you are. **Thomas** (00:19:31:06 - 00:19:31:14): Yeah. **Chip** (00:19:31:17 - 00:19:57:21): And and I think I read somewhere where people like it because it's like they, it's almost the school uniform argument. Right. Like there's really no stratus. There's like the rich people with the nice clothes and then the people with that aren't the fancy dressers. It's like nobody's a fancy dresser here. We're all just. I'm just smiling, Bob. And and, I'm just having a good time hanging out, if, if you will. **Thomas** (00:19:57:23 - 00:20:21:13): Yeah. That scene in Titanic where Jack's getting ready to go to the fancy dinner with Rose's, Rose's class of people. He's not going to have to put on that monkey suit. Does he get to go in there and, you know, if he's, put in a little extra work in the gym, if, running away from all those people he owed money to in France, got him in a little bit better shape. That's kind of the flex there. Not necessarily how much money you have, but also a cruise ship is a very class divided area. Yeah. The people with the bucks get to go to better places. I'm sure this has to be a wristband type situation. **Chip** (00:20:40:00 - 00:20:45:12): Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you want to get on a waterslide, you got to have just that wristband on. **Thomas** (00:20:45:14 - 00:20:53:06): Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or like, you know, for a first class downstair. Like, you know, I think the nicer rooms are up towards the top. **Chip** (00:20:53:07 - 00:20:54:03): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:20:54:05 - 00:21:04:02): Definitely. You know, having some balconies or whatever it is, there's there's different classes, but at the end of the day, everybody nude on that ship. **Chip** (00:21:04:03 - 00:21:15:23): We're all the same, brother. That's what I'm saying. The same that you don't even know if there's any burnt ones there because they're not wearing the shirts. But that's all right, because we're just we're hanging out. We're having a good time at nude. **Thomas** (00:21:16:02 - 00:21:18:10): And you can be identified other ways, too. **Chip** (00:21:18:16 - 00:21:20:19): Yeah, I believe there are. There's there's tattooing. **Thomas** (00:21:21:00 - 00:21:24:13): Yeah. Tattooing. Was there anything else that showed up in the literature? **Chip** (00:21:24:13 - 00:21:45:20): I just love the thing where it's like they must exercise modesty when they're when they're at port. But I was just also thinking about tattoos, like, could you imagine being seasick naked and seasick that, like, there's that's when you just want to put on some jammies. Yeah, I'm sure you're allowed to do that, but, like, you know, just naked and seasick doesn't sound fun at all, but. **Thomas** (00:21:45:20 - 00:21:46:19): Yeah, but I. **Chip** (00:21:46:19 - 00:22:09:21): Also think, by the way, this is not like they didn't build a ship. A naked ship. This is just a regular cruise ship that for these 11 days, the the naked people are going to be on. You would hope and think, especially with all of the issues you hear with maybe, illnesses going around cruise ships, that after this 11 day naked tour, they are a hosing this ship down. **Thomas** (00:22:09:23 - 00:22:11:00): Yeah. **Chip** (00:22:11:02 - 00:22:12:12): Stern to bow. **Thomas** (00:22:12:14 - 00:22:14:04): Yeah. At least all the seating. **Chip** (00:22:14:07 - 00:22:16:10): Starboard to port. **Thomas** (00:22:16:10 - 00:22:20:06): Starboard to poop deck. Yeah. **Chip** (00:22:20:08 - 00:22:28:00): By the way, I did come up with I decided I was looking at some, so I was like, maybe this could turn into a reality show. Maybe this could turn into. **Thomas** (00:22:28:00 - 00:22:29:05): Oh, okay, a movie. **Chip** (00:22:29:05 - 00:22:44:02): Even a book. Yeah, yeah. Romance novel. So I found some of the greatest TV show and movies about nude cruises. There's a variety of them out there. **Thomas** (00:22:44:04 - 00:22:46:01): I can't think of any ship there. **Chip** (00:22:46:01 - 00:23:14:03): There have been throughout history a lot of TV shows and movies about nude cruises. So first of all, the classic nudity on the bounty, I mean, just classic. Then there's course the TV show, I think it started in 2012, Naked and Afraid we're going to sink. Then you have, speaking of reality show Below Deck, I mean, that one just kind of. **Thomas** (00:23:14:05 - 00:23:16:15): Right. Oh, it's about the balls. It. **Chip** (00:23:16:17 - 00:23:35:04): That's all it's about. It is a very, very specific reality show. Very specific. Sometimes they get voted off. It's it's it is it is an engrossing their TV show. Then there's the no titanic high for this one. **Thomas** (00:23:35:06 - 00:23:36:07): **Chip** (00:23:37:03 - 00:23:48:14): The gross side. An adventure. So the, the ship flips over and they are still naked. I mean, I'm just going to say Moby Dick and move on. **Thomas** (00:23:48:16 - 00:23:50:02): Okay? I'm just. Yeah. That's fair. **Chip** (00:23:50:04 - 00:24:10:15): Let's. And then. And then, of course, finally the multi-million dollar blockbuster sequel, Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest and Back and but, so those are all the movies, TV shows in history about nude cruises. **Thomas** (00:24:10:15 - 00:24:21:07): I mean, now that you, Sam, all there has been a bunch. I couldn't think of any any to start off with, but, gosh, it's really touched the, the pulse of the culture here. Yep. **Chip** (00:24:21:08 - 00:24:25:04): I think it's the next Marvel movie. Fat. **Thomas** (00:24:25:04 - 00:24:26:22): The cinematic Universe. **Chip** (00:24:27:00 - 00:24:47:05): Cinematic universe. That's what we're going to every other week. You're going to just like, oh, somebody just announced Universal's doing a new nude cruise movie, and there's CGI in it, and they they attached this person to it. It's going to be a $200 billion thing. Although budgets will be a little shorter. They don't need wardrobe. **Thomas** (00:24:47:05 - 00:25:08:08): I mean, as if our wardrobe professionals weren't going through enough already. Yeah. This is really going to be tough, but they can transition to the skin protection portion of the business. Like we said, this is even more, sun sunscreen that's going to be needed to be procured and applied at all times. **Chip** (00:25:08:10 - 00:25:17:08): Big sunscreen. They're watching out there looking over us. I will say this on a totally different topic, but it's something you said to me. This I saw the grossest commercial. **Thomas** (00:25:17:08 - 00:25:19:16): Commercials are getting gross. **Chip** (00:25:19:16 - 00:25:42:13): Yes, like I've seen some like physically gross commercials and this one just emotionally just crushed my soul. Okay, yeah, I forget what it what the company was called. I wouldn't mention it, but like, it's some, like, housekeeping service, like an online. It's like the Uber of housekeeping or whatever. And the big thing was somebody will come and clean your house for $19. **Thomas** (00:25:42:14 - 00:25:43:08): Yeah, they'll. **Chip** (00:25:43:08 - 00:26:11:21): Clean your house for $19. And that's the big hook. And I'm sure then you have to, like, sign up and then the price go up or whatever. But it was just this woman, and she's like, let's just say it was, Thomas O'Brien, housekeeping service. Right? Yeah. And she's she's like, we tried O'Brien housekeeping service. And then we fired our housekeeper, like, as if, like, your housekeeper is like the one that like. Oh, like big housekeeping. These fat cats. Yeah, I got rid of her. Yeah. So we use this service, and now I just screwed up that that lady, you know, it's like. And she was so proud of it, I was. Yeah. Oh, man. We are, we are. We're going to hell in a in a nude cruise. **Thomas** (00:26:30:00 - 00:26:37:02): It's like I'm 99ft tall and just stopped on a small business that was thriving. **Chip** (00:26:37:04 - 00:26:38:21): Yes. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:26:38:23 - 00:26:52:23): And for $19, I will tell you, like, I don't know what the services, but it does sound more like the price you can get to have somebody who is very interested in drugs come to your house and rob it. **Chip** (00:26:52:23 - 00:26:57:16): Your medicine cabinet will be sparkling clean. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:26:57:18 - 00:27:06:12): It seems less like the price that you were going to pay somebody to come and do a great job while being trusted with all of your personal effects. **Chip** (00:27:06:17 - 00:27:20:11): Yeah. You know what I if you want to go on a nude cruise, I think God bless you. I think that's great. It's not for me. It's not my thing. But, I mean, and by the way, I think it's very popular as of when this article came out. It's in February, and I think there's only a few cabins left. So, if you're in the nude cruise arena and you want to take a nice one down in the Caribbean this February, book it now, I guess here's. **Thomas** (00:27:30:00 - 00:27:53:00): A question for you, though, as somebody who does get offers to play different types of rooms, different types of venues, that kind of stuff, what's, let's just say it is this cruise. It's 12 days. Did you say 11 days? 11 somewhere? 11 days. And they want a stand up comedian, putting on nightly shows. **Chip** (00:27:53:05 - 00:27:53:12): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:27:53:12 - 00:28:05:15): What is the price tag difference? Like what? What's the price difference between a normal cruise and a nude cruise for you as an employee of that type of venture? **Chip** (00:28:05:17 - 00:28:19:15): Like, I'm going to go double. I want to go double my rate just because, like, I think they think that it's like a special thing and that they're like, oh, we have to do this show. It's like, I'm going to cash in. If I'm doing this, I'm going to cash in. But also I don't necessarily need to be naked. Like, that's not that's something that I'm going to turn up. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:28:21:12 - 00:28:27:05): You don't need to be naked like you're in the dining room too. So if they're serving dinner. **Chip** (00:28:27:07 - 00:28:40:02): Right. That's the one time I would want there to be food served during my set. Just so people have to. Because. Because they do say, if you want to relax on stage, just picture everybody naked. I don't need that, Thomas. **Thomas** (00:28:40:04 - 00:28:50:05): Well, and and I'm going to put you on the spot here a little bit because you're a professional comedian. You you do this for a living. It's just, it's just. Can you give us a taste of the crowd work? **Chip** (00:28:50:06 - 00:29:11:20): Hey, man. Nice shirt. Oh, sorry. Hey, man, what do you do for a living? And then he's like, I'm an accountant, and I'm like, a naked accountant. Like, that's all I would have. Like, I would just. I would not be able to concentrate on anything. Crowd work like, I would want the audience in the dark. But if they're all in the dark, what are they doing back there? That's what I also don't want to know. See? **Thomas** (00:29:13:21 - 00:29:14:12): Oh, let's. **Chip** (00:29:14:12 - 00:29:18:06): Just a cornucopia of issues and anxieties. **Thomas** (00:29:18:06 - 00:29:28:00): Every time the the crowd laughs, you can't really explain it. There's just a a plop and a squish sound. What were they holding in there that this laughter released? **Chip** (00:29:31:13 - 00:29:32:01): Man. **Thomas** (00:29:32:06 - 00:29:40:16): Have you ever done a room that you think is probably more challenging than the average nude cruise? **Chip** (00:29:40:18 - 00:29:49:22): Oh, yeah. I mean, more challenging as far as, like, I've done some corporate gigs like that. I've done some, you know, just some rough drunk rooms where people. **Thomas** (00:29:49:22 - 00:29:50:12): Right. **Chip** (00:29:50:14 - 00:29:54:16): Literally attacked other comedians. Like, you can't hide a knife or a gun. **Thomas** (00:29:54:16 - 00:29:56:00): Oh, that's true, you know. **Chip** (00:29:56:00 - 00:30:15:16): So I mean, that's actually a little bit easier, I think. Yeah, I think people's, here's the thing, though, and I could be wrong about this, but if again, I don't make too much generalizations. But yeah, if you're somebody who wants to go on a nude cruise, I'm assuming you like attention. Okay. And when you get a roomful of people who all want attention. **Thomas** (00:30:15:19 - 00:30:16:14): Yeah. **Chip** (00:30:16:15 - 00:30:19:02): And then I'm the person that's supposed to have the attention. **Thomas** (00:30:19:05 - 00:30:19:23): Yeah. **Chip** (00:30:20:01 - 00:30:23:14): That's, that can be it. That can be a tough 45 minutes right there. **Thomas** (00:30:23:16 - 00:30:29:14): All right, well, there you go. You have it. Chip Chantry available for booking for all of your nude events. **Chip** (00:30:29:16 - 00:30:31:10): There it is. There it is. **Thomas** (00:30:31:11 - 00:30:37:14): It's only double the price of his normal rate. And, he will be fully clothed. **Chip** (00:30:37:16 - 00:30:39:03): Yes. **Thomas** (00:30:39:05 - 00:30:46:03): All right, Chip. Well, let's shift gears here slightly to a foot issue that I've. **Chip** (00:30:46:03 - 00:30:49:13): Been dealing with. Speaking of body parts, let's let's get into this time. **Thomas** (00:30:49:19 - 00:31:12:17): I can't even tell. Like, and this, this story does have a happy ending. It is something that ends up. Well, I've been having, like, a little bit of pain in my foot, in my feet area. Chip, my shoes haven't been fitting quite well at different portions of my feet. Had sensitivities to it, and I was getting ready to go to the doctor. I told my wife I was like, hey, my feet are kind of bothering me. I think I need to go find a foot doctor. And she was like, oh, tell me what's going on? And I told her and she's like, let me see your feet. And she said, you don't need to go to a doctor. You just have calluses. You need to go get a pedicure. **Chip** (00:31:30:20 - 00:31:32:13): And I love Petty Thomas. **Thomas** (00:31:32:16 - 00:31:35:02): A little petty nobody, but. **Chip** (00:31:35:02 - 00:31:36:12): Just Tom petty there. **Thomas** (00:31:36:14 - 00:31:47:02): A little Tom petty, some little heartbreakers. Yeah. And, I was like, initially like. Oh, I don't think that sounds right. **Chip** (00:31:47:04 - 00:31:49:03): I don't need to go pamper myself. **Thomas** (00:31:49:05 - 00:31:56:18): Yeah, but she was like, no, this is what they do. Like, when was the last time you got one? And I was like, you know, I've never gotten one before I even thought about it. **Chip** (00:31:56:19 - 00:32:04:02): That's a great question for your wife to ask you. Like, so when was it, when was the last pedicure you got? Yeah. Yeah. Never. Literally never. **Thomas** (00:32:04:03 - 00:32:10:18): Yeah. And it's just like, I never thought about it as, like, maintenance or something like that. I've had these feet for decades. **Chip** (00:32:10:19 - 00:32:22:08): Because you were thinking about when we first met it ten years ago. You were thinking about trading them in. Yeah. And I remember saying I was like, you know what? Sometimes they get the newer models that just it's just so expensive right off the lot. **Thomas** (00:32:22:10 - 00:32:23:08): Yeah, they're working for you. **Chip** (00:32:23:08 - 00:32:23:20): Just keep them. **Thomas** (00:32:23:20 - 00:32:36:20): Yeah, yeah. And I appreciate it that I did keep them, but, we took these bad boys in there and I was. I'm really sold on the whole pedicure experience. **Chip** (00:32:37:00 - 00:32:40:06): Really? Okay. All right. I need everything about this guy. I've never had one. **Thomas** (00:32:40:08 - 00:32:44:23): I. Yeah. No, I had neither. My wife went in there with me, so I would have somebody to talk to. **Chip** (00:32:45:01 - 00:32:45:18): Oh that's right. **Thomas** (00:32:45:20 - 00:32:52:23): Okay. It was very, very nice. But like basically you go in there and they get your feet soaking in the solution. **Chip** (00:32:53:01 - 00:32:53:09): Okay. **Thomas** (00:32:53:09 - 00:32:58:07): And, kind of they, they deal with, like, the toenails first. **Chip** (00:32:58:07 - 00:32:59:09): So they got front to back. **Thomas** (00:32:59:10 - 00:33:10:18): Well, this is also very strange for me because, like, I do not like to be touched. I like I've never gotten a massage in my life. It just seems like the worst thing in the world for me. **Chip** (00:33:10:18 - 00:33:17:01): Two of the television shows we worked on, you actually did the entire series Inside a Bubble. **Thomas** (00:33:17:03 - 00:33:23:12): Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was the bubble boy of Stamford, Connecticut. Yep. Bubble boy Burbank. **Chip** (00:33:23:14 - 00:33:24:11): Boy. Burbank. **Thomas** (00:33:24:13 - 00:33:25:07): Yeah. I'd prefer what. **Chip** (00:33:25:07 - 00:33:27:03): Am I, separate folk songs. **Thomas** (00:33:27:05 - 00:33:56:13): Okay. And about you, it's, it is a B-side. Tom Petty speaking of, Mr. Petty, but I don't like to be touched, so this was going to be a bizarre experience for me, but I was comforted immediately because, like, I worry about germs, I worry about, like, other people's nasty feet or whatever. Sure. Everything that was used to touch my body came in a sterilized pouch. They do it single use. They open up this pouch. Everything in there has been sterilized by a professional company outside of the, nail place where this was getting done. And, so she opens it up. We've got fresh implementations. She's wearing gloves. She can't speak to me at all. There's no ability to communicate in a common language. **Chip** (00:34:20:07 - 00:34:21:06): Okay. **Thomas** (00:34:21:08 - 00:34:31:20): But there is like this fun thing they're doing where they're not looking at each other and they are talking very quietly. **Chip** (00:34:31:22 - 00:34:32:06): Okay. **Thomas** (00:34:32:09 - 00:34:52:07): But they are talking to each other in a language I don't understand, I think. But I don't know what's going on. I think she's trying to say something to me that I don't understand. She's wearing a mask. She's doing her work and just saying things. And there sounds. It's a human being talking, but I can't understand a word, so I'm like, am I supposed to be doing something? I'm supposed to do this? I'm looking at my wife like, what's going on? She's like, no, you're good. **Chip** (00:34:56:10 - 00:35:00:05): It's so nice, your wife to go walk you through it, because I would have been completely. **Thomas** (00:35:00:05 - 00:35:18:18): Lost even with her there. There was a moments where I was confused about what was happening. Right. But they take out the instruments, they get going, they start clipping and chip like I don't. I've never even thought about toenail clipping as an art form or how it's supposed to be done, but I just go straight across and try not to hurt myself. **Chip** (00:35:19:00 - 00:35:19:09): Right. **Thomas** (00:35:19:10 - 00:35:40:05): I try not to leave a sharp edge, but they went across and then they got these other clippers that are kind of like little gardening shears or something. Okay. And they, they come at it and they like cut between within like your nail bed and you're like toenail. So they're creating just like a little space heading into the toe, a. **Chip** (00:35:40:05 - 00:35:41:05): Little nook right there. **Thomas** (00:35:41:05 - 00:35:58:22): A little nook right there. And bro, like that little nook that they've created, it keeps your toenails from touching the other toes. Yeah. And I've just, like, had pressure there for 40 years. Right. It's not like it's not like it was a problem, but, like, I just didn't know it could be gone. **Chip** (00:35:58:22 - 00:36:01:20): So all your toes are just out there floating in the ether right now. **Thomas** (00:36:01:21 - 00:36:03:11): They've got their own space. **Chip** (00:36:03:11 - 00:36:04:08): The piggies are free. **Thomas** (00:36:04:08 - 00:36:13:08): And then the other thing my wife did let me know right before it was time to let me know is like, hey, this is going to tickle. And everybody laughs. **Chip** (00:36:13:10 - 00:36:16:12): You got to be a tough guy in there. You can't be a giggling little. **Thomas** (00:36:16:12 - 00:36:34:23): Yeah, I don't want to be a weird but like and she she was getting one at the same time too. So she was going and she is just laughing her head off. That gave me permission to not worry about as much, just kind of relaxed. And she went in there and just really grind it down. These calluses that even now I had like I just thought feet were feet. Why would they grow extra hard parts? So they're just really grinding them down and I am giggling like a little schoolgirl. And I can't help it. **Chip** (00:36:47:13 - 00:36:50:17): That makes so much sense in how I've, I never thought that that would be an issue. **Thomas** (00:36:50:17 - 00:37:13:14): Yeah I knew like I have ticklish feet and I don't, you know, I didn't want people to touch them or whatever. But sure I had to get a little permission to make that okay. And it just like kind of took the pressure off having my wife let me know about that. After all was said and done, my pedicure took three times longer than my wife, who was sitting right next to me and also got her nails done. Wow. And this woman is just working on my feet, and she's making faces like, I don't know what she's saying, but it's just like, this is not normal. **Chip** (00:37:23:07 - 00:37:26:11): Like, I'm like a like a contractor looking at some old drywall. **Thomas** (00:37:26:14 - 00:37:36:02): Exactly. It's just like, who the hell did this? Yeah. Oh, God. We're we're going to need some extra parts and definitely a lot more labor. **Chip** (00:37:36:08 - 00:37:38:04): Call the wife. We're getting in some overtime. **Thomas** (00:37:38:04 - 00:37:47:18): Yeah, exactly. But, like, yeah, just went in there and grinded this thing down to what looks like a human foot again. I just had one big hoof down there before. **Chip** (00:37:47:18 - 00:37:48:00): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:37:48:06 - 00:38:05:11): And, And I can feel it. Dude, there was just like two areas where they had really been some buildup and, And I felt amazing, like, they do a scrub, they do a bunch of the stuff. Like, it felt really good. And like, oddly enough, my feet looked good. I was like, oh, that that looks that's a good looking. **Chip** (00:38:05:11 - 00:38:07:15): I look like an actual. Yeah, human being. It felt. **Thomas** (00:38:07:15 - 00:38:24:17): Very comfortable. It was just like, I don't know, it was an extension of hygiene. It didn't feel like something that was pampered. I it's just I just can't if you haven't done it before. Yeah. I feel like it's almost like getting your oil changed. Yeah. Yeah. Just it's part of maintenance. You can be taking better care of yourself. It's. **Chip** (00:38:25:04 - 00:38:47:09): Are it's a health thing. Like. It's not that I've never seen a man in like, a nail salon before, but it's it is geared towards women. Or at least I mean, that's so, you know, societally it is. But like, yeah, that's not you. Like you're not getting your little the pretty little toenails painted like you are literally having medical things done for you so that you're. Yeah, I mean yeah. **Thomas** (00:38:48:11 - 00:38:56:04): Yeah. And I really felt it afterwards. And dude, I, I went out with the pickle boys this weekend. Yeah. **Chip** (00:38:56:06 - 00:39:01:06): And I did top down. Did you see like, hey, boys, check out these. **Thomas** (00:39:01:06 - 00:39:08:23): Dishes. Ooh, no, but when I, when I popped on my pickleball shoes, it was just like all the issues I was having just had evaporated. **Chip** (00:39:09:01 - 00:39:19:01): Well, they didn't evaporate. They just literally just landed in the trash can of this poor lady who has to, like, lug a sandwich bag out of half your foot, brother. **Thomas** (00:39:19:01 - 00:39:40:22): It was she. She was like scraping it and scraping it. And then she kind of, like, wiped away what had, like, been scraped off. And it looks like applesauce. It was like, that did make me want to gag. And I was surprised that she wasn't dealing with it. But, the whole the whole process from start to finish was surprising at every turn. And, actually turned out to be really beneficial. I don't know how much, extra benefit there would be to doing it regularly, but I will say every 40 years. **Chip** (00:39:51:05 - 00:39:52:13): Every 40 years, if you. **Thomas** (00:39:52:13 - 00:40:02:19): Want to go get that, that that board shaped that you're walking around on. If your dogs are barking and you don't know how to quiet them down, yeah, go get that pedicure. **Chip** (00:40:02:19 - 00:40:05:06): But I now know what I'm getting you for your 80th birthday. **Thomas** (00:40:05:08 - 00:40:16:13): Ooh, yeah. I appreciate that. I appreciate the look forward. I hope the Google calendar you put that into, is still the one you're using. When, I hit 80. **Chip** (00:40:16:13 - 00:40:21:15): I think it will be. And I think my and I think my feet will be fitting in my shoes a lot better by then. **Thomas** (00:40:21:15 - 00:40:24:01): I like it. I like it better. Yeah. So that's that's it. **Chip** (00:40:24:01 - 00:40:41:22): Good for you, Thomas. I am, see, that's it again. We've just unlocked in the mystery of the world. Maybe some burnt ones will go out, get some of those feet done, and, feeling good about going on the beach, feeling just. And again, it's not even like, oh, my feet look nicer, but it's like they might I it it doesn't hurt when I walk now. **Thomas** (00:40:42:04 - 00:40:49:04): Yeah. It also they do look a lot nicer. Yeah. No it's good for the beach. I mean maybe before Hawaii trip we get you in that chair. **Chip** (00:40:49:07 - 00:40:51:18): Maybe we'll try it out. I'm. I'm in. I'm ready. **Thomas** (00:40:51:20 - 00:40:53:04): All right, let's do it. **Chip** (00:40:53:04 - 00:40:59:23): You know, it's speaking of, just turning the world upside down. **Thomas** (00:41:00:01 - 00:41:01:20): Yeah. **Chip** (00:41:01:22 - 00:41:03:11): I think we do some world records. Now tell me. **Thomas** (00:41:03:12 - 00:41:20:07): Let's get in the good book. Let's see what human beings, nature. All the things that can be measured in this world. Let's see what the pinnacle of those things are. Chip, what do you got today? What is your Guinness world Record? You're throwing down the hatch. **Chip** (00:41:20:09 - 00:41:32:11): I am assuming that the gentleman involved in this record, could or have benefited from some pedicures. **Thomas** (00:41:32:13 - 00:41:34:02): Okay. **Chip** (00:41:34:04 - 00:41:37:01): Because they're going to be using their feet a lot. **Thomas** (00:41:37:03 - 00:41:38:04): All right. **Chip** (00:41:38:06 - 00:41:47:23): Okay. Although I will say maybe they're getting those feet exfoliated as they work and wouldn't need a pedicure. **Thomas** (00:41:48:01 - 00:41:50:05): All right. Nature's pedicure. **Chip** (00:41:50:06 - 00:41:58:21): So congratulations to my record holder of the week, the nation of Brazil. **Thomas** (00:41:58:23 - 00:41:59:18): The whole nation. **Chip** (00:41:59:23 - 00:42:01:14): The whole nation. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:42:01:19 - 00:42:03:06): Oh, congratulations. **Chip** (00:42:03:06 - 00:42:32:13): Brazilians holds a record. Okay, so first of all, the country of Brazil down, down in South America, they hold the world record, Thomas, for the most number of world Cup wins, soccer World Cup wins. They have five World Cup wins. That's here. The years of all that five World Cup wins. It's the most wins of any, nation in World Cup in FIFA history. However, we're not talking about that. That doesn't matter, okay? I care about that. **Thomas** (00:42:36:09 - 00:42:38:10): All right? **Chip** (00:42:38:12 - 00:43:08:13): I'm congratulating Brazil on the most wins of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup. Oh, they not only have five, they have seven. Seven wins. The Brazilian soccer team, beach soccer team has the most number of FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup wins. Seven of them. Thomas and I will say this. If you open our good book or 2025 good book, you will find this in there. And it says that they have six wins, but it will have to be updated for 2026. Because just this May, the boys in yellow beat the guys in Belarus. You know, those those famous beach beaches. **Thomas** (00:43:22:00 - 00:43:22:13): Of Belarus. **Chip** (00:43:22:13 - 00:43:31:22): Beach soccer players in, in in Belarus, these beach soccer players, they beat them in Seychelles, which is, I guess, off the coast of Africa, I guess I. **Thomas** (00:43:31:22 - 00:43:33:21): Think, yeah. **Chip** (00:43:33:23 - 00:43:57:18): And, that's where the World Championships were, the, the FIFA beach soccer World champions. They just won their seventh this May. So congratulations to them. And just to give you a little background. So beach soccer world champions Championships started in 1995. So it goes back to 1995. So we got 30 years in. But then in 2005 FIFA took it over. They like bought it out or whatever. And FIFA was like, we're coming in, we're taking the sand. Okay. So they, they took it over in 2005. And since then, the Brazilian boys have won it in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009. That is a dynasty right there. So from 2006 to 2009, they won. Then they won in 2017, 2024 and 2025. Maybe we're starting a new dynasty because they just won the last two years. They were supposed to win in 2023, but the game got called because of high tide. I'm joking about that time. So that's not true. They don't play right on the beach. Have you seen beach soccer played? Besides, just like a pickup game of beach soccer? **Thomas** (00:44:41:14 - 00:44:45:20): No, I've seen I've seen a pickup game, but I've never seen organized beach soccer. Is this a big deal? **Chip** (00:44:45:20 - 00:44:53:17): I don't, I guess so it's I mean, there's like these little I don't dunno if you call them a stadium but they, they're smaller, the fields are smaller and I think it's five on five. They play five on five. **Thomas** (00:44:53:18 - 00:44:56:22): Okay. That makes sense to tease out to tease out. This is a bear. **Chip** (00:44:57:00 - 00:45:22:08): To tease out. So yeah. So they're getting exfoliated. Those feet are out. They're probably getting callus but probably getting a little extra on the sand. So they might have wonderful feet I don't know. But experts are saying like the FIFA beach soccer insiders are saying that this is the so to win their seventh. This is the biggest thing to happen to beach soccer since Johnny beat up Daniel LaRusso at the beginning of The Karate Kid. **Thomas** (00:45:22:10 - 00:45:23:21): Holy cow. **Chip** (00:45:23:22 - 00:45:34:02): That's saying something when it comes to beach soccer history. There's that scene at the beginning of The Karate Kid, and then there's, you know, and then there's the Brazilian team in 2025. **Thomas** (00:45:34:03 - 00:45:35:15): That's quite the trajectory. **Chip** (00:45:35:16 - 00:46:03:18): It really is. So of course, beach soccer isn't the only beach sports that's out there. There's beach volleyball, beach. Handball is played around the world. Beach handball. Beach rugby is an actual, like, thing, less popular beach sports. Thomas. They don't really take off beach basketball, beach bowling and beach magic the gathering, doesn't really work. Those cards fly all over the place. **Thomas** (00:46:06:01 - 00:46:12:17): Not to mention the complexion of the players for Beach Magic The Gathering. That's. That's a dangerous combo again. **Chip** (00:46:12:19 - 00:46:17:10): If they did have that, that would be sponsored by Big sunblock. **Thomas** (00:46:17:12 - 00:46:19:11): Yeah, you gotta block it out. **Chip** (00:46:19:12 - 00:46:34:00): Yeah. And, to close off. So congratulations to Brazil. Seven FIFA beach soccer World Cup wins. Thomas. A little trivia for a. Do you know what the FIFA beach soccer's official mascot is? **Thomas** (00:46:34:02 - 00:46:41:04): Oh, a Bigfoot. **Chip** (00:46:41:06 - 00:46:43:05): You very close. It's the sea. **Thomas** (00:46:43:07 - 00:46:47:05): Go. There you go. **Chip** (00:46:47:07 - 00:46:48:11): There it is. **Thomas** (00:46:48:13 - 00:46:51:19): I love it. Well, congratulations. Brazil. What a record. **Chip** (00:46:51:21 - 00:46:55:11): Yes, if you could say that in Portuguese, Thomas, that would be great. **Thomas** (00:46:55:13 - 00:46:59:09): Owen. Bueno. No, I can't. **Chip** (00:46:59:13 - 00:47:01:01): Close enough. Close enough. **Thomas** (00:47:01:01 - 00:47:09:05): Famously. Famously did 20 days of Duolingo before I went to Portugal. Didn't retain quite as much as I would have hoped. **Chip** (00:47:09:06 - 00:47:11:11): Well, when did you go to Portugal? **Thomas** (00:47:11:12 - 00:47:17:21): I went to Portugal. And maybe 2017, 2018 around there. **Chip** (00:47:17:21 - 00:47:26:06): See? Okay. Yeah. So the the Brazilians only had like 3 or 4 wins at that point. There was no reason to really wish them. **Thomas** (00:47:26:08 - 00:47:28:22): Oh. That's true. Yeah, I bet I bet you didn't do it. **Chip** (00:47:29:00 - 00:47:30:04): Serve it back then. **Thomas** (00:47:30:06 - 00:47:33:08): I bet if you do it now, Portuguese leads with a lot. **Chip** (00:47:33:08 - 00:47:40:01): Of, like, the first sentence you learn is. Congratulations. Brazilian soccer team on your seventh win. **Thomas** (00:47:40:03 - 00:48:02:06): Only the things you need to really get by in a Portuguese speaking culture. Yes. Yeah. No, I think I think that's right. I think it's updated with the times. Duolingo is a great product that helps you learn very small portions of a language. Sure. Yeah. So for my world record, chip, I'm going with something that is tropical. Okay. That is definitely the actual definition of a burnt one. Oh, it involves the ocean, and it involves somebody that has my exact name, but, All right, I'm so. Yeah, yeah, we're getting into it. So this is the world record for the first person to ever surf a wave while on fire. **Chip** (00:48:33:02 - 00:48:36:18): Come on, move over. Beach soccer. **Thomas** (00:48:36:20 - 00:48:56:04): And it's, performed by Jamie O'Brian, which is what I was called until I was about seven. I when I was growing up, I was just Jamie. I'm the fourth Thomas and my family. My middle name is James. So, yeah, I went with Jamie O'Brian and tell us what. **Chip** (00:48:56:06 - 00:48:57:07): Made you change back to Thomas? **Thomas** (00:48:57:07 - 00:48:59:22): A bully. **Chip** (00:49:00:00 - 00:49:01:05): Interesting, a. **Thomas** (00:49:01:05 - 00:49:15:17): Bully. Yeah, I got, I got pushed to the ground and told that Jamie was a girl's name. And, the next day, I came back and I changed that name tag on my desk to Thomas O'Brien. **Chip** (00:49:15:19 - 00:49:17:12): Ivy. There we go. Okay. **Thomas** (00:49:17:13 - 00:49:32:23): Yeah. So, pro surfer Jamie O'Brien, actually got, like, a little trash talk on Instagram and, like, 20, 20, 13, 2014, daring him to to catch a wave while on fire. **Chip** (00:49:33:01 - 00:49:36:22): But the bullies, the bullies just run wild over these Jamie O'Brien's. **Thomas** (00:49:36:22 - 00:50:08:11): I know we get pushed around. Yeah. Get pushed around until we stand up for ourselves. And, Jamie did that in the form of taking a bunch of, like, pyrotechnic classes, taking a bunch of man classes, learning how to safely light himself on fire. Yeah. And then in 2015, on July 22nd, he, he lit himself on fire and caught an absolutely nerve, gnarly wave into Haiti and French Polynesia. And the photos and videos look as sick as you can imagine. **Chip** (00:50:15:04 - 00:50:16:11): All right, I got to look these up. **Thomas** (00:50:16:11 - 00:50:19:08): It is awesome. I mean, you can take a look in the good book. **Chip** (00:50:19:13 - 00:50:20:15): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:50:20:17 - 00:50:37:15): If you if you check out that record. But. Yeah, it's just a fire, a human fire dart just firing through a big blue barrel. It is awesome. So he's a burnt one. He's in Tahiti, which also, like, have you ever been to Tahiti? Yep. I think we would have talked about it. **Chip** (00:50:37:15 - 00:50:43:10): I just was like last week I was there, but I just, I, I was there, I just had to pick something up at the target there. **Thomas** (00:50:43:10 - 00:50:48:07): So, so yeah, I did, did one of those two hour pickups. **Chip** (00:50:48:09 - 00:50:50:06): Yes. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:50:50:08 - 00:51:09:05): Pulled right and got back. But yeah. To to Jamie O'Brien, a true burnt one. Literally. Probably figuratively too. Yeah. Here you go. And congratulations on your world record of being the first person to surf a wave while on fire. **Chip** (00:51:09:07 - 00:51:12:02): Huzzah! Jamie O'Brien. **Thomas** (00:51:12:04 - 00:51:13:21): Huzzah! Wow. **Chip** (00:51:13:23 - 00:51:22:12): Wow. I mean, it just. I mean, winning seven World Cups for a beach soccer is great, but it is not setting yourself on fire and going surfing. **Thomas** (00:51:22:14 - 00:51:39:08): It's it's really not. And like, I mean, two things that are hard in their own right. I mean, it's just like if you if you're constructing a worse way to die, he might have like, can like have all the elements already put together in this one world record. **Chip** (00:51:39:10 - 00:51:43:23): Oh, absolutely. Like he like you, you're basically burning to death, right? **Thomas** (00:51:43:23 - 00:51:44:09): Yeah. **Chip** (00:51:44:09 - 00:51:49:16): But right before that happens, you fall off the surfboard and then you drown. **Thomas** (00:51:49:18 - 00:51:50:12): Yeah. **Chip** (00:51:50:14 - 00:51:51:16): So it's just. **Thomas** (00:51:51:21 - 00:52:12:06): And like, whatever he put on his body, like, had to keep water from putting out a flame, so, like, you could continue to burn under water while you're, losing your air, like, that's really, really horrifying and scary. But, like, once again, he looked sick. It looks unbelievable. **Chip** (00:52:12:08 - 00:52:18:23): So although I will say I might find him on Instagram, start bullying him to do the next crazy thing. **Thomas** (00:52:19:01 - 00:52:24:23): That's true. That's true. If you want to see him push the limits once again. Yeah, get on Instagram and start daring them. **Chip** (00:52:25:04 - 00:52:30:02): Yeah, go snowboarding while carrying scissors. You know, like just do something. **Thomas** (00:52:30:02 - 00:52:41:08): Yeah, exactly, exactly. Machete boarding. And then do a little worse. You know, speaking of, death in the ocean. **Chip** (00:52:41:10 - 00:52:42:03): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:52:42:05 - 00:52:44:21): I'm looking at that Second Harbor club hat. Chip. **Chip** (00:52:44:23 - 00:52:46:10): Oh, yeah. Look at this right here. **Thomas** (00:52:46:13 - 00:52:47:14): This is that. **Chip** (00:52:47:14 - 00:53:03:20): But, Tommy, you you were the one who bought this for me at the Sunken Harbor Club in Brooklyn, New York. When we did our tiki bar run, I decided by the way, I decided to put put this on, taking it for a spin, loving it. Just reminding me of of that day at the at the Sunken Heart Club. The other tiki bars were great, and, I used it to compliment my new shirt from Big Fun Shirts. The other one. I got those two delivered, and, man, I am feeling good about this one, too. **Thomas** (00:53:14:18 - 00:53:35:06): It looks unbelievable, dad. It's just, a breath of fresh air, wafting right off your chest, and, Yeah, man, it's, good memories. I love a little keepsake. Yeah. These days, it is like a souvenir, a little souvenir, like, become big on, like, concert t shirts. Never really was before. **Chip** (00:53:35:06 - 00:53:53:10): But, oh, I, I, I have always been a concert t shirt guy, although I've actually almost kind of gotten away from it because, like, I got bullied, like some of my friends are like, you're a man in your 40s and you're still wearing these all the time, like I. Always work on it, but I still do, like, honestly, most of the time on like most of the time on stage. Now I'm wearing that jacket and with a concert t shirt under it. **Thomas** (00:53:57:15 - 00:54:13:05): I've seen you do that look. Yeah, see, you do that recently. I've seen you do a couple of Hawaiians on stage too, that I have. I have, that's it. You're up there to bring joy. That's what a stand up comedian does anyways. Bring it for it. Bring it in every way possible. And you always do. Yep, yep. You always do. Yeah, yeah. The visuals. **Chip** (00:54:17:19 - 00:54:18:01): The other. **Thomas** (00:54:18:02 - 00:54:21:13): As well. Chip, do we want to get into some Buffett facts? **Chip** (00:54:21:13 - 00:54:23:10): Speaking of bringing joy. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:54:23:10 - 00:54:44:05): Bring in bring a joy. I just continue, as we get deeper and deeper into these facts, deeper and deeper into some literature documentaries about what, Mr. Buffett created on this planet. Can't help but be more and more impressed with, the way the guy navigated his time on this planet. **Chip** (00:54:44:05 - 00:54:46:14): Yeah. All right. You ready for a for a fact? **Thomas** (00:54:46:14 - 00:54:49:08): Tommy hit me with a big old fact. **Chip** (00:54:49:10 - 00:55:00:23): Jimmy Buffett's driver's license not only indicated that he was an organ donor, it also had five punch holes for a free margarita. That's generous. That is very generous. **Thomas** (00:55:03:09 - 00:55:05:21): That it. That's very generous. **Chip** (00:55:05:23 - 00:55:06:17): How about you, Tommy? **Thomas** (00:55:06:22 - 00:55:20:09): Jimmy Buffett's largest marlin catch happened right off the Florida coastline and took over 30 minutes to reel in. Which makes sense, because it was Miami's whole professional baseball organization. It's a big. **Chip** (00:55:20:09 - 00:55:21:22): One. That is a catch. **Thomas** (00:55:22:03 - 00:55:24:08): Gosh, it really works. The forearms. **Chip** (00:55:24:08 - 00:55:24:18): I love. **Thomas** (00:55:24:18 - 00:55:40:11): It. He got out there, dude. But, everything I read about that guy, it was boats. It was planes. It was really like that. Not living by anybody else's timeline or code? No. And, the older I get, the more and more jealous him of that kind of freedom. **Chip** (00:55:40:13 - 00:55:47:01): We're going for it, though. That's what. It's what we're doing. We've got our vision board. Yeah, in our brains. In our hearts. **Thomas** (00:55:47:06 - 00:55:50:23): Would you fly? Would you learn to fly your own plane? **Chip** (00:55:51:02 - 00:56:10:23): It's sounds novel, but I feel like it's just too. It's it's also honestly like. And I'm going to be honest, like having my own boat. It sounds like a lot of, like, work and intricacies that I don't really understand. Like, if I was wealthy enough, I would rent boats or I would, like, hire somebody to take me out on a boat. Like I just it's not something that I'm very good at. So, yeah, I yeah, I think it would be, Yeah. I don't think I it sounds cool, but I just, I don't think I need that response, but like, here's what I would like. I would love if I was in like a little Cessna or something like that. And you had your pilot's license and I was sitting beside you and you're like, all right, take the controls for a few minutes, and I get to like. **Thomas** (00:56:34:03 - 00:56:34:11): Fly. **Chip** (00:56:34:11 - 00:56:39:03): Around a little bit and then just give it right back to you. That's what I want. Yeah, because I'm a little boy. How about you? **Thomas** (00:56:39:03 - 00:56:56:18): At a certain point in my life, it would have been an automatic. Yes. Like I'll learn to fly. I'll be able to, you know, just go on a private airplane sport, like, get. Yeah. Get up to my parents house in order or, you know, move around. But it's just like, the bigger, the bigger the plane, the smoother the flight. Yeah. **Chip** (00:56:57:05 - 00:56:59:16): It's not the size of the plane. It's the angle of the takeoff. **Thomas** (00:56:59:16 - 00:57:02:10): It's the safety of the landing. That's what I'm worried about. **Chip** (00:57:02:10 - 00:57:04:05): Yes. Yeah, absolutely. **Thomas** (00:57:04:07 - 00:57:13:11): And I do think that, like, private air travel is maybe the leading cause of death for wealthy men in America. **Chip** (00:57:13:11 - 00:57:15:10): Yeah, I would, I would say that, yeah, I would say that. **Thomas** (00:57:15:10 - 00:57:18:01): It might be heart disease still, but like, I think it's close. **Chip** (00:57:18:01 - 00:57:19:12): Beach soccer accidents. **Thomas** (00:57:19:18 - 00:57:32:10): Yeah. Yeah. That's got to be a cool lifestyle too. Like you're spending so much time on the beach playing soccer, you're going to be fat. You're in this beautiful environment. You're hanging out at the beach with your buds. **Chip** (00:57:32:13 - 00:57:33:03): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:57:33:04 - 00:57:41:11): It's bringing, post collegiate athletics to the beach. And letting you do it on a world stage. That sounds a lot of fun. **Chip** (00:57:41:13 - 00:57:44:21): And maybe it'll bring Post Malone to the beach. You don't know what he likes. **Thomas** (00:57:44:22 - 00:57:54:12): If there's one thing I can tell you right now is that I have zero idea what Post Malone likes. Yeah, but I did see him and Happy Gilmore tell you was great. **Chip** (00:57:54:14 - 00:57:55:07): See, you. **Thomas** (00:57:55:07 - 00:57:56:21): Want to guess how old Post Malone is? **Chip** (00:57:57:02 - 00:58:01:13): I'm going to say. Is he 35? I have no idea. **Thomas** (00:58:01:19 - 00:58:15:03): I don't know either. And as as is the rule on this podcast, we are not going to look anything up. Yeah, we're just going to speak in ignorance and keep it floating. But I did hear that he's still in his 20s. **Chip** (00:58:15:05 - 00:58:16:07): Is he really? **Thomas** (00:58:16:09 - 00:58:19:06): Yeah. What is what a successful young man. **Chip** (00:58:19:08 - 00:58:33:01): And I'm breaking rule. Thomas. I'm looking it up. Let's let's see. No, not Post Malone's agent. I don't want to know his agent. Thomas. I want to know Postman's age. **Thomas** (00:58:33:03 - 00:58:37:19): Well, okay, Chip, you're looking in your. You're looking in your address book. You're looking in the phone numbers on your phone. **Chip** (00:58:38:01 - 00:58:44:03): That's what it is. All right, so do you want to guess? **Thomas** (00:58:44:05 - 00:58:47:21): Oh, wow. Okay, I heard it. I heard he's 29. **Chip** (00:58:47:23 - 00:58:48:13): Say that again. **Thomas** (00:58:48:16 - 00:58:49:21): 29. **Chip** (00:58:49:23 - 00:59:06:09): Well, this 4th of July, just like America, was his birthday, and he turned 30, so he just hit 30. Oh, yeah. So so I was so maybe when you heard that tale. I mean, it was only a month and a half ago. Yeah, he was 29. Now he's 30. **Thomas** (00:59:06:13 - 00:59:07:13): He's accomplished so. **Chip** (00:59:07:13 - 00:59:25:11): Much. He has I think we've accomplished so much just in this episode, too. We talked nude cruises. We've talked world records. We talked Jimmy Buffett, we talked about, your pedicure. I mean, I mean, what else what else can we cover? I mean, I think we're coming into the close here, buddy. This is. **Thomas** (00:59:25:11 - 00:59:26:06): Yeah, we've. **Chip** (00:59:26:06 - 00:59:36:19): Accomplished a lot. We've gone from, I mean, flying our own plane to taking off our clothes on the deck of a ship. I think we've covered it. **Thomas** (00:59:36:19 - 00:59:45:12): Yeah, and like Jamie O'Brien, I think we light ourselves on fire and catch a wave on out of this episode of The Burnt podcast ship. **Chip** (00:59:45:12 - 00:59:48:19): Into that pipeline of the great unknown. **Thomas** (00:59:48:21 - 00:59:58:07): This is the sunburn podcast where we talk about comedy and tropical travel. Thanks so much for hanging out with us. Until next time, stay burnt. Front desk. **Chip** (00:59:58:07 - 01:00:04:06): Hi, this is Mr. Chantry. I am really disappointed in my 311 themed room. There's no photos. The band, there's no instruments. **Thomas** (01:00:04:06 - 01:00:09:06): There's nothing we don't have a 311 themed room. You're just in room 311. **Chip** (01:00:09:06 - 01:00:10:20): Okay, can I move to the sugar Ray suite? **Thomas** (01:00:10:20 - 01:00:16:02): Yes, of course. And you can pick from any of the. I just want to fly in room dining options.
