**Thomas** (00:00:00:00 - 00:00:13:15): What up burnt one's. This is the Sun Burnt podcast. We talk about comedy and tropical travel. To my right is my co-host. You know him from Netflix and his incredible stand of special Move Closer. It's Philadelphia's own chip chantry. **Chip** (00:00:13:15 - 00:00:20:04): And to my left is Emmy Award winning writer, producer and oil painter Thomas O'Brien. **Thomas** (00:00:20:05 - 00:00:27:19): I don't want something that can mix with water. No, I like the oil paints. It makes me feel good to know they're going to stick around for a minute. **Chip** (00:00:27:20 - 00:00:30:17): Thomas, are you an artist at all? You know, can you paint? Can you. **Thomas** (00:00:30:17 - 00:00:38:12): Draw? Not well, like I've seen people work with the gift. You know, they can just do it. And, I do not have that, but I can doodle not. **Chip** (00:00:38:12 - 00:00:46:09): I'm terrible. Like I am terrible. And when you say work with a gift, like when you're saying that I was like, is that like a do they get struck by lightning and they can see the future? Like that's what it felt like? **Thomas** (00:00:46:11 - 00:00:56:11): I think that's what it actually is like. I mean, you know, it with comedy, we've we've been around. There's just certain people who like, yeah, they could do the work, but they don't need to. They have more magic than everybody else. **Chip** (00:00:56:11 - 00:01:00:06): Oh absolutely. Yeah. And those people have all been struck by lightning at one point or another. **Thomas** (00:01:00:07 - 00:01:08:02): Oh that's true. Yeah. So I mean, is that why you keep running around in rainstorms carrying that big old golf club? Yeah. **Chip** (00:01:08:02 - 00:01:20:22): I'm like, someday I am going to be able to do watercolor. My only goal, but I do have a goal, though for today is to kick off this podcast hard. **Thomas** (00:01:21:00 - 00:01:23:19): Shoot, chip, I didn't know you're going to go. So, Ward, I'm. **Chip** (00:01:23:19 - 00:01:34:03): Going to go hard. Let's go. Just let's go wild. Just turn things upside out. We're just. We're just taking ukuleles and breaking them left and right because that's who we are. **Thomas** (00:01:34:04 - 00:01:35:21): We're having an aggressive good time. **Chip** (00:01:35:21 - 00:01:38:14): We're having a wonderful, pleasant, aggressive time. **Thomas** (00:01:38:14 - 00:01:46:01): Just in time for football season. It's right around the corner. Yeah I'm very excited. Chip. Today we're I mean this is how hard we're going. **Chip** (00:01:46:01 - 00:01:47:01): Yeah we actually are going hard. **Thomas** (00:01:47:01 - 00:02:08:10): We are not talking about the softest cruise ship in the world. We're talking about the hardest cruise ship in the world, which actually happens to be the largest cruise ship in the world. Yep. And then we're not talking about, soft soaring prices. We're talking about the prices of travel. Actually dropping. This is something that's actually happening right now. We're going to get into that. We're talking about the man Jimmy Buffett facts. And we're also going to open up The Good Book and talk about, a couple of world records. How's that for hard money? **Chip** (00:02:19:07 - 00:02:25:06): It is wild. And I will say my world record this week is hard. **Thomas** (00:02:25:09 - 00:02:27:07): We haven't been this hard in years. **Chip** (00:02:27:07 - 00:02:33:20): Well, okay. Well, that actually, hopefully, maybe we can get a sponsor to talk about that sometime. **Thomas** (00:02:33:22 - 00:02:39:14): I see it right now. I would turn down that sponsorship. I just cannot with the straight face just yet. **Chip** (00:02:39:16 - 00:02:40:19): I just I don't think I could do. **Thomas** (00:02:40:19 - 00:02:43:18): It if they actually offered us one. That might be a different story. **Chip** (00:02:43:18 - 00:02:58:05): If they knocked on the door. I'm going to open it. Let's just say. Speaking of opening the door, Thomas. Yeah? Let me get my keys up. Here they were. I'm opening the door to this podcast right now. **Thomas** (00:02:58:07 - 00:03:08:12): This is the sunburnt podcast where we talk about comedy and tropical travel. If that's up your alley, stay tuned. We're going hard. Front desk. **Chip** (00:03:08:12 - 00:03:14:03): Hey, this is Mr. Chandler in room three eight. I was wondering if you could come up here real quick. And by the way, have you seen that movie Tommy Boy? **Thomas** (00:03:14:04 - 00:03:21:05): Mr. Chantry, I'm not coming up there and reenacting that scene from Tommy Boy, and I can't slash won't do that accent. **Chip** (00:03:21:11 - 00:03:24:13): All right, well, can I come down and do it to you? **Thomas** (00:03:24:13 - 00:03:25:11): I can't stop. **Chip** (00:03:25:11 - 00:03:27:17): You. Be right down, ship. **Thomas** (00:03:27:19 - 00:03:35:12): It's episode 28 of the Sunburnt podcast. I can't even believe this. We are 90 days away from Chip Chantry. Is Thanksgiving in Paradise? **Chip** (00:03:35:16 - 00:03:56:04): That's three 30s, baby. That's three months. Were three months out. This is the perfect time for you to make your plans. Book those tickets to come to Hawaii with us this Thanksgiving. Come see a comedy show that I'm doing at the Blue Note in Waikiki and hang out on the beach. Tour around the islands. Let's have a blast this Thanksgiving! **Thomas** (00:03:56:04 - 00:04:18:15): On my refrigerator, I have this postcard from Waikiki. It just hit me like a wave. I just saw it, and I and I was like, I knew it's getting close 90 days away, and I could just picture myself floating in that water, feeling that sun. I was so, so transported recently. And I think it's because we are getting closer and closer, and I freaking love it. Yep. I love that feeling. **Chip** (00:04:21:13 - 00:04:22:12): I'm getting psyched. **Thomas** (00:04:22:12 - 00:04:27:20): I've got a great feeling. Can I tell you what happened? Like, actually last night? No. Had an amazing. **Chip** (00:04:27:22 - 00:04:35:00): Time. As I said no, I said no, you could not. Okay me. So let's move on to another topic. So what should we talk about next? 00:04:35:02 – 00:04:35:13 UNRESOLVED – Oh. You know, tell me about what happened last night. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:04:38:14 - 00:04:47:09): Yeah, dude. So, went out with some friends in Hollywood, and, taking it easy. Your boy was drinking. **Chip** (00:04:47:09 - 00:05:06:06): Waters, like, I'm assuming, like when you go out with your buddies in Hollywood, like you do the Walk of Fame. You put your hand in, like, Judy Garland's handprints at the Chinese theater. Yeah, like in your picture taken with a man dressed like disgusting Elmo. Yeah. 00:05:06:08 – 00:05:07:22 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Okay. Yeah. By the way. Yeah. Do you usually disgusting Elmo? Yes. Did you know that, that Philly has its own Elmo? **Thomas** (00:05:15:17 - 00:05:17:18): Is it gritty? **Chip** (00:05:17:20 - 00:05:33:05): No. I mean, there is gritty. There is the Philly Phanatic, but there's also Philly Elmo. This is a real thing. And what does that even mean? I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm going to paint a picture for you. Not with oil or watercolor. We can do. 00:05:33:07 – 00:05:34:01 UNRESOLVED – Okay? Okay. It's a real thing. Philly Elmo is. There's a. I don't know if they do this, you know, like, but there is a small, like, I'm going to call it, like, a drum corps. Like it's capital of, young men who, walk around with drums and, like, you know, like a bucket drummer in, like, the song. 00:05:53:03 – 00:05:53:07 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. **Thomas** (00:05:53:07 - 00:05:55:22): I'm picturing people whacking on buckets, but they're. **Chip** (00:05:55:22 - 00:06:20:15): But they're like legit drums, but. And there's only, like, a handful of them, maybe like 3 or 4 of them, but it's like they're a drum line and they just walk the streets of Philadelphia with Elmo, with a guy dressed in a full Elmo costume. Yeah, head to toe Elmo. And then I think that Elmo, or maybe it's a kid, too, carries a, like, a bucket for tips. And they just. And you can just hear them from blocks away, and it's usually in the early evening and you're just. And you're like, wait, what does that sound? What's going on? Oh, is that jackhammer? Oh wait. No. And you're like, oh Philly Elmo's here. And like, you get excited. I always get a dollar out and I, drop a drop a dollar in the bucket for for Philly Elmo. **Thomas** (00:06:40:05 - 00:06:50:04): What an amazing example of branding, dude like that. That's, some guy's whacking out some drums. Yeah, it really feels like Elmo got in there and codified the whole group. **Chip** (00:06:50:06 - 00:06:52:03): I believe he did. I believe I. **Thomas** (00:06:52:03 - 00:06:54:06): Think that's kind of what I do for this podcast. **Chip** (00:06:54:08 - 00:07:00:09): Yeah. Oh, you know, what you also do for this podcast is, we gotta we gotta put some slather on right now. **Thomas** (00:07:00:15 - 00:07:05:00): Oh my gosh, dude, I am so ready for some slather, man. **Chip** (00:07:05:01 - 00:07:17:15): Because I'm I'm getting ready for the story about you, and your buddies going to the the Grauman's Theater, you know, checking out Hattie Lamar's star. 00:07:17:17 – 00:07:19:23 UNRESOLVED – Going to, I don't know, maybe Johnny Rockets, maybe Musso and Frank. I don't know. 00:07:27:05 – 00:07:28:04 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Really? Check it out. Maybe like an FBI, maybe an FYI store. You know, you're just like you're out and about in Hollywood in the evening. **Thomas** (00:07:35:14 - 00:07:55:04): Out and about, in Hollywood, in the evening. Yeah, I don't I don't really have as much reason to be in Hollywood anymore. There are some, like, entertainment events that are there every once in a while. But really, what happened is I moved south of Los Angeles, and a lot of my friends moved north of Los Angeles, and it's just kind of, kind of a nice place to meet in the middle. And it's where we used to run around when we were kids. So out with my friends, they're having some drinks. We grab dinner, we saw a show, and, then we went to a bar afterwards, and, I, you know, sipping on my water. And the only thing in the world that could have got me to have a drink last night happened. **Chip** (00:08:15:05 - 00:08:16:15): Wow. Okay. All right. **Thomas** (00:08:16:15 - 00:08:35:03): Somebody walked up to me and handed me a drink that looked strangely familiar. Yet I had never seen it before in real life. And they leaned over and said, excuse me, sir, this is your early check in. Okay. Does that ring a bell to you, Chip? **Chip** (00:08:35:03 - 00:08:39:23): Oh, you're your cocktail. The early check in. **Thomas** (00:08:39:23 - 00:08:41:15): Yeah, yeah. So, like, we. **Chip** (00:08:41:17 - 00:08:44:22): From a couple episodes ago where we created our own cocktails. **Thomas** (00:08:44:22 - 00:08:52:05): We had a, we had a, contest to create the craziest or funniest tropical tropical cocktails that didn't exist before. **Chip** (00:08:52:05 - 00:08:52:15): Of course. **Thomas** (00:08:52:20 - 00:09:04:19): And, one of them was the early check in, which is basically, pineapple mimosa, with your room key inside of it. And it's 10 a.m. the early check in. **Chip** (00:09:04:21 - 00:09:05:16): Sure. **Thomas** (00:09:05:20 - 00:09:19:17): So I'm looking at this thing, and it's got, like, even the same garnish. Like, they recreated the picture we had with it. And, I kept it as a souvenir. **Chip** (00:09:19:19 - 00:09:26:01): They didn't include the room key today. The. No. Come on. Yeah. Room key garnish. **Thomas** (00:09:26:01 - 00:09:44:18): Room key. Garnish. So, of course I had a late check in, and there was just like, I'm a burnt one. Love the podcast. I had had to do this, so, very excited. And then they let me know that, them and three of their friends are coming to Hawaii. Yep. **Chip** (00:09:44:18 - 00:09:46:06): That's wild. **Thomas** (00:09:46:08 - 00:09:59:17): Yeah. We are very cheap to answer. Yes. Thanksgiving Paradise. It was it was a really wild and unexpected experience. Really fun to see. Like, you know, last week we talked about you're seeing more Hawaiian shirts show up here, show? 00:09:59:18 – 00:10:00:17 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. This is me out and about, somebody creating a cocktail that we just imagine. And by the way, that's the only one of those cocktails. I would even come close to drinking the whole lot. **Chip** (00:10:12:06 - 00:10:14:22): Number three. That's the good one. They picked the best one. **Thomas** (00:10:15:03 - 00:10:23:20): They picked the one that you could make. Yeah. I don't know how hygienic that room key is. Like I. I didn't even ask. I was just, like, so taken back, like. 00:10:23:22 – 00:10:24:07 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. You do any kind of sterilization on this Ritz-Carlton? **Chip** (00:10:27:06 - 00:10:29:07): Yeah. You take the drink and you drink it. **Thomas** (00:10:29:09 - 00:10:41:16): Yeah. You take. I took the drink, I drank. It wasn't planning on it, but, Yeah. Dude, it's just, seen the, podcast get some Fingers in the Real world has been. I don't know, it's just been so fun for me. How about you? **Chip** (00:10:41:20 - 00:11:03:18): That's incredible. I wish I had the same experience. I. I mean, the closest I came to that one time, I was handed a drink at a bar by this beautiful young woman, who was. And it was kind of surprising to me. She comes after me because she was sitting with this guy in a tracksuit all night, and she put this little white pill in the drink and then walked over and handed it to me. I took it. This is before the podcast. And I drank it. And then I woke up the next morning, and I had one kidney. **Thomas** (00:11:10:14 - 00:11:15:19): Yeah, yeah, that's not the early check. And that's the early turn in. **Chip** (00:11:15:21 - 00:11:22:00): Oh, that's the early turn in. That's right. That's. I should have asked for the early check in. Yeah. You're right. **Thomas** (00:11:22:02 - 00:11:30:02): That's much a different drink. Yeah. But, anyway, yeah, it was really fun to be, to be out and about and have that happen. So. Yeah. To the ones out. **Chip** (00:11:30:02 - 00:11:35:19): There, credible. I thank you so much. Congratulations. That burnt one. We welcome you aboard. **Thomas** (00:11:35:20 - 00:11:40:00): Yeah. So excited to have him on board for the, the trip. Man. It's going to be great. 00:11:40:00 – 00:11:40:21 UNRESOLVED – Yeah, yeah. Well, Chip, I think we can just keep scooting along because we do comedy. We talk about tropical travel. I think we would be remiss not to talk about the breaking news this week. **Chip** (00:11:52:15 - 00:11:55:17): Did it? Did it? Did did it, did it did it go. **Thomas** (00:11:55:17 - 00:11:59:21): That the world's largest cruise ship is springing into action. **Chip** (00:12:00:01 - 00:12:08:16): With a little spring in its step? That's right. The Royal Caribbean star of the seas, who has now set sail. **Thomas** (00:12:08:18 - 00:12:11:10): Oh, my gosh, it is. **Chip** (00:12:11:12 - 00:12:20:07): It's matched at the Royal Caribbean. I think it was called the, the icon of the seas was the largest cruise ship ever, built in 2024. 00:12:20:09 – 00:12:21:05 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Or, you know, I guess it, I think it's maiden voyage. It's 2024, and now it's sister ship just as large. The star of the seas is now, is now out there. And part of me is like, at some point, is this just going to become Waterworld? And are we all just going to be living on cruise ships when the land is no longer tenable? Yeah, I think. **Thomas** (00:12:47:04 - 00:13:13:08): When the caps melt, if we can't get off the planet, the sea is the only place we have to go. And these these ships are getting large enough where it's almost kind of feeling like, yeah, this is this. This feels like a normal sized city. Like I was reading the rundown of what's available on that ship, and they do seven day trips and they have different entertainment for every night ship. **Chip** (00:13:13:10 - 00:13:34:14): Yeah. And not only entertainment for night. Like, instead of having like decks or sections, they literally refer to them as neighborhoods. There are eight separate neighborhoods on this cruise ship, like, so you could be on the same boat like most boats I've ever been on. Like you can't turn around with without hitting the other person. **Thomas** (00:13:34:14 - 00:13:56:17): Yeah, no, they're tight quarters usually. I mean, these ships are absolutely massive, but, like, the the neighborhood thing is interesting because it could be for real, or it could be some kind of marketing trick to make things seem like they are. But I get the feeling from reading the article that like, these are very distinct areas that have immense size. **Chip** (00:13:56:19 - 00:14:04:18): So there's, Thrill Island, which is like, a lot of the, you know, I think like kind of like ropes courses, kind of things like more extreme sport. 00:14:04:18 – 00:14:05:17 UNRESOLVED – Waterslides, all the. Waterslides, all that stuff. So there's real and there's Chill Island, I think. I think you, you know, where you and I would be. **Thomas** (00:14:11:16 - 00:14:16:11): I, we would be on Chill Island, buddy. Oh, you want to go to Chill Island someday? Yep. **Chip** (00:14:16:13 - 00:14:19:10): Absolutely. Yeah. I'm there right now in my mind. 00:14:19:11 – 00:14:20:14 UNRESOLVED – There is the Aqua Dome, Surfside, the hideaway, the Royal Promenade. They've one called Central Park, which that's just Central Park. 00:14:30:10 – 00:14:30:18 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. And then, the sweet neighborhood, which is sweet spelled city. I think that's the Ritz. Your place or just the people with the sweets. They're the only ones. It's the gated community of the ship. **Thomas** (00:14:43:03 - 00:14:45:19): Yes. Yeah, that makes total sense. So this is a real. This is a real community. **Chip** (00:14:48:06 - 00:15:03:03): That it is a real community. So these are literal neighborhoods on this ship. Although I had a couple other ideas. If like anybody else, if anybody from Royal or any of the other cruise lines are listening, you're, you're designing your next ship. 00:15:03:04 – 00:15:03:21 UNRESOLVED – I got a couple, island neighborhoods that might be maybe more accessible to people or just, you know, just spice it up a little bit. **Thomas** (00:15:12:11 - 00:15:22:07): Yeah. No, no, these are some, different options they can have, in addition to the neighborhoods they've already created. I think they'd be lucky to have your suggestions. Ship. **Chip** (00:15:22:09 - 00:15:27:00): Yeah. Okay. So how about, so there's Thrill Island on this ship, right? 00:15:27:00 – 00:15:27:14 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. How about Thrill Island Heights? Okay, it's it's Thrill Island with the added thrill of pretty dangerous after dusk. So if you like extremes, this is the extreme. Extreme. **Thomas** (00:15:45:11 - 00:15:48:08): Okay. Yeah, I at a certain point. **Chip** (00:15:48:10 - 00:16:15:10): Like, there's a there's a waterslide board that actually circles around a, a like a literal, trash barrel on fire. I can just circles trash pile on fire the entire time. Like there is a rope swing where you jump over a El Camino on blocks. So I think that that's. So there's that island. I think that would be a fun one. The gentrified poop deck. Okay, I think that's just so explanatory. It's just the deck. And the hipsters just moved in and just, built these $2 million condos. **Thomas** (00:16:26:06 - 00:16:29:11): Yeah, the coffee's very expensive. It's, **Chip** (00:16:29:13 - 00:16:32:23): Cupcake shops abounding. Yeah, yeah. **Thomas** (00:16:33:04 - 00:16:34:02): I can. I can see that. **Chip** (00:16:36:12 - 00:17:03:07): Little Bosnia. So it's just an area where you go in and it's a lot of people, from Bosnia-Herzegovina, you know, from that, you know, from not too far from the Adriatic, you know, just, you know, they're living the life. I think that's fun. How about the old neighborhood? This is where when you walk into the old neighborhood, it's literally just people that you grew up with who still live in that neighborhood. And they're at the bar, and they're just giving you a hard time for moving out. **Thomas** (00:17:07:19 - 00:17:11:06): Yeah, it's a time capsule of where? Of who you once were. **Chip** (00:17:11:08 - 00:17:25:01): Yeah, absolutely. And then, I think, the last one, I think the most exciting one that I, that I thought of is, bowfinger corner. 00:17:25:03 – 00:17:25:20 UNRESOLVED – Okay. And obviously, you know what that is, right? Are you aware of what? **Thomas** (00:17:29:08 - 00:17:31:16): Does it have anything to do with the Steve Martin movie? 00:17:31:16 – 00:17:32:16 UNRESOLVED – Bowfinger. **Chip** (00:17:32:18 - 00:17:41:15): Yeah, it's all of the activities, the drinks, the food. It's all themed on the 1999 Eddie Murphy Steve Martin film. Bowfinger. **Thomas** (00:17:41:17 - 00:17:53:23): Okay, I think I think that's my favorite one. Yeah, I think that's my favorite one. I think that's the one that, you know, a big cruise line is going to come along and pay the big dollars for. Yeah, because that is a new experience. **Chip** (00:17:53:23 - 00:18:14:10): That's I think I mean, you can have Pirates of the Caribbean theme. You can have Marvel, Superman, Batman, Spiderman themed, whatever it is been done, who's really dip it in 2025, who's really cornering literally cornering the bowfinger market? **Thomas** (00:18:14:10 - 00:18:20:17): No, I think that's IP that's available. It's it's underused. And I think this might be the perfect opportunity to take it out for a walk. **Chip** (00:18:20:17 - 00:18:28:09): Because you mention how jealous your friends would be if like, you just you came back to work to the office with just a hot, hot tan. 00:18:28:11 – 00:18:28:23 UNRESOLVED – And just a t shirt that said, I survived Bowfinger corner. 00:18:33:19 – 00:18:34:21 UNRESOLVED – They're like, wait, you went to Royal Caribbean's, Andromeda Galaxy of the seas, the world's newest, largest cruise ship with no Bosnia and the gentrified poop deck. And you spent you actually got to spend time in Bowfinger Corner and you're like, yes, I did. **Thomas** (00:18:52:19 - 00:19:01:16): I love it. Did I love it? And I think that would look nice next to me. Be like a Nathan for y'all. Southern inspired. I like that, 00:19:03:08 – 00:19:05:15 UNRESOLVED – Business rehab center. **Chip** (00:19:05:17 - 00:19:06:15): Yes. 00:19:06:17 – 00:19:08:01 UNRESOLVED – I the real. You. And that's that's not just for cruise ships. I think any struggling city, a city that's looking to turn things around. 00:19:17:15 – 00:19:18:01 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Attract more visitors, attract more tourists, attract more residents. You know, people moving in. Why not take an old neighborhood that's not doing too well? Maybe. You know, a lot of the business have gone and just turn it all bowfinger themed. **Thomas** (00:19:31:02 - 00:19:42:16): And to to bring this full circle, I'm wondering which one of these neighborhoods, if given his own choice, are we going to find Philly Elmo at? **Chip** (00:19:42:18 - 00:19:53:15): Here's the thing about Philly Elmo he is everywhere. He's everywhere all at once. He's like Santa Claus. You never know where he's going to show up. But you just know that up. He's two blocks away right now. Anyway. **Thomas** (00:19:53:17 - 00:20:06:19): I way I love it. I think he'd spice up any ship too, especially with the drumline bringing it down. That's energy. That's entertainment. That is a vibe that's going to just march around. It's going to unify the whole ship, make it like. **Chip** (00:20:06:19 - 00:20:07:14): 100%. **Thomas** (00:20:07:16 - 00:20:27:03): Make Philly feel it's a bunch of different neighborhoods, but it can feel unified. When we got Philly, I'm all, you know, crunching around. Dude, I love these. I think that's so fun. And I'm also just kind of picturing, like, this Caribbean cruise because that's that's where the ship goes. It does, you know, loops around the East Caribbean, West Caribbean. And, that would be an amazing time. Anyways, just going all those islands, spending it in the the tropical weather. Nothing on your docket to do except enjoy yourself. But then there's all these different entertainment options, all these different neighborhoods to see. I think each one kind of has its own restaurants and local vibe for culinary stuff. How exciting. Another thing I did see in that article to. **Chip** (00:20:51:16 - 00:20:53:03): Back to the Future the musical. **Thomas** (00:20:53:08 - 00:20:57:20): There. Yeah, there's back to the future the musical. There's some kind of ice dancing show. **Chip** (00:20:58:02 - 00:21:03:09): Yes. There is a there's an ice rink in this. I mean, I think. **Thomas** (00:21:03:09 - 00:21:23:10): There has to be unless, like, they're really putting a verbal spin that I don't understand. And what I stand sing means there's an ice rink in there that they do shows on. Yeah. And then I think they might melt down that rink, for later on in the week, because there's also an aquatic show with professional divers. 00:21:23:12 – 00:21:24:01 UNRESOLVED – And, aerial stunts over the water. It, really does sound kind of like, the full Vegas experience on a boat. **Chip** (00:21:31:19 - 00:21:35:23): You just need gambling and a hot heat, a dry heat, that's all it is. **Thomas** (00:21:35:23 - 00:21:55:13): So there might be a little more humidity at sea, which I would expect and cherish and, enjoy. And I think they're going to keep it a little more sterile, because one of the other stats that jumped out at me is like, there's 5000 and change, room for people to come be on the ship for ticket carrying passengers. There is basically one staff member for every two people ship like the crew is 2000 and change. **Chip** (00:22:04:07 - 00:22:06:07): And apparently some of them know how to ice skate. **Thomas** (00:22:06:07 - 00:22:20:11): Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Ice skating in that heat. That's, ice skating on a tropical vessel has to be a very unique experience. That's the 1% of the 1% of professional ice skaters are doing that. **Chip** (00:22:20:11 - 00:22:23:20): There's a lot of axles on that boat. Some of them are double. Some of them are triple. 00:22:23:21 – 00:22:25:04 UNRESOLVED – **Thomas** (00:22:25:06 - 00:22:30:00): Triples, doubles, actual axles for working a show. **Chip** (00:22:30:00 - 00:22:48:17): We've never taken a cruise, Thomas. Yeah, yeah, we've talked about this, but this might be the one that I would take. Yeah. Although I will say something about a little cruise ship that nobody wants to be on is also very like. It's just, you know, like a. Yeah, I just picture, like a, like a West Sanderson kind of cruise ship it. That make sense? Yeah. Like a, like a almost not exactly the life Aquatic because it's not necessarily nature based, but it's just like, you know, it's something from the 1940s. It's outdated, but you would get a drink at the bar, you would get like a grasshopper. Yeah, something like that. And you would just lay by the deck. Big band music would be playing. 00:23:08:10 – 00:23:09:06 UNRESOLVED – The food would be the staples. Very meat and potatoes, literally. But you're like, all right, this is the 1940s. I'll take it. Yeah, I that might that actually might be more my speed. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:23:18:12 - 00:23:19:15): There's some character there. **Chip** (00:23:19:15 - 00:23:29:04): What if you and I went the other way and we put the sunburn podcast branding behind it? Raised a bunch of money. **Thomas** (00:23:29:06 - 00:23:30:10): Yeah. Now we're talking. **Chip** (00:23:30:10 - 00:23:35:05): We created the world's smallest cruise ship. **Thomas** (00:23:35:05 - 00:23:36:02): Interesting. **Chip** (00:23:36:02 - 00:23:39:00): So it's it's literally for one person. 00:23:39:01 – 00:23:39:20 UNRESOLVED – Okay. 00:23:39:22 – 00:23:42:14 UNRESOLVED – You book this ship, there's a staff of four. **Thomas** (00:23:42:14 - 00:23:43:05): I like that. **Chip** (00:23:43:06 - 00:24:10:03): It would be four crew members to every passenger. Granted, there's only one passenger. Yeah, and it would be the boat would be, you know, maybe like a 25 footer. Yeah. You have a captain of a ship, a first mate. You have a cook, and you have somebody that does. I mean, again, that next person is going to have to do the cleaning, the entertainment, checking it in. They're going to have to wear that one, that that one character costume that you have. And again, it's going to be like an off brand Porky Pig kind of situation. **Thomas** (00:24:20:10 - 00:24:23:20): Yeah. An off brand Porky Pig, French maid. **Chip** (00:24:23:20 - 00:24:37:09): We don't have the licensing rights. We don't have that kind of money. But like every once in a while, I'll slip on that little outfit and, and entertain you. And they would also have to know how to ice dance just a little bit, because the rink is extremely small. **Thomas** (00:24:37:11 - 00:25:04:14): It's it's cube size. Here's where I think we can differentiate. Yeah. I think on this ship instead of star of the sea, it's star on the sea. Okay. And that's because on this ship, you are the entertainment, you're the star, you're the talent. And every night, whatever talent you do or do not have, but you would like to wheel out in front of the whole ship. Chip. 00:25:05:08 – 00:25:06:01 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Is going to be in front of people who are paid to be there and also paid to celebrate you, to applaud for you, and then to tell you how good that was for the reigning 23 hours until you get back on that ship stage again. You are the star on the sea, on the sunburnt podcast. Ships ahoy! **Chip** (00:25:28:01 - 00:25:32:15): I love being celebrated and I am ready to, to set sail. **Thomas** (00:25:32:17 - 00:25:53:12): And guess what? Guess when your birthday is? When it doesn't matter. Because every day is your birthday. When you are the one passenger of the star on the sea. So you are performing with a belly full of cake every night, and people are saying you don't look bloated. No, you don't have frosting on your face. I don't know why they seagulls keep circling you. It must be because you have a star quality. 00:25:55:21 – 00:25:57:16 UNRESOLVED – Yeah, yeah. You're the big. You're the big star on the open ocean. On the sunburnt podcast cruise line. **Chip** (00:26:04:21 - 00:26:06:23): The largest kahuna. **Thomas** (00:26:07:01 - 00:26:11:16): You're the largest quarter on the teeniest cruise ship in the world. 00:26:11:18 – 00:26:12:02 UNRESOLVED – Yeah, I. Think we've got something here. I think we've got something brewing. **Chip** (00:26:15:14 - 00:26:16:12): Agreed? **Thomas** (00:26:16:14 - 00:26:31:14): Yeah. All right. If you are a multi-millionaire, who would like to invest in sunburnt cruises, please send us a message at Chip at electric O'Brien dot com. **Chip** (00:26:31:16 - 00:26:35:05): Send them my way. I am the business exec in this, partner you are? **Thomas** (00:26:35:05 - 00:26:45:14): Yeah. That's true. Like, if there's two things we know, it is high finance and traveling on the high seas. This is a venture that you and I are ripe. **Chip** (00:26:45:16 - 00:26:48:08): And how to access my email account? 00:26:48:10 – 00:26:51:15 UNRESOLVED – Yes, that is very good. 00:26:51:17 – 00:26:52:05 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. We have it all. We're triple threats. 00:26:54:23 – 00:26:59:09 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Email finance, seafaring knowledge. Yeah. Prestige worldwide. That's I think we literally just created prestige worldwide. Just. **Thomas** (00:27:04:14 - 00:27:32:08): Oh that's true. Yeah. I do hate it when we get on a roll. And we've got a great idea. And then it is the butt of a joke from a movie of like somebody who was out of their depth or in apps and what they decided to do. Yeah. I don't know. I just feel like there's going to be a Judd Apatow movie that comes out potentially where it's a couple of knuckleheads who start a podcast and try to do a tropical comedy festival. 00:27:32:10 – 00:27:33:20 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. I could see that happening, of course. **Chip** (00:27:35:05 - 00:27:38:01): And one of the knuckleheads will be Paul Rudd. 00:27:38:03 – 00:27:38:17 UNRESOLVED – And his wife will be Leslie Mann, who's always like yelling from upstairs to like knock off the rack yet. Yeah. And he's like I wonder if my podcast, she's like, you're 50 years old. **Thomas** (00:27:51:18 - 00:28:11:08): This was a sign of the times. I was in Ojai, with my wife a couple months ago. And there was, like, I don't know. I don't know how old they were, but they were younger than us. They were women in, like, kind of like yoga outfits, having brunch at this place we were eating brunch at, and they were like, oh, my God. They were talking about Leslie Mann. And they said, did you know that the actress Leslie Mann is actually Mod Apatow's mother? Oh my God. And then I joke you not. Somebody else is like, yeah. And I think her dad, like, was a director. **Chip** (00:28:29:23 - 00:28:38:15): That's correct. It just goes to show you when you're not in the the comedy business or maybe the entertainment business of like it's just who you see on screen. **Thomas** (00:28:38:15 - 00:28:43:19): It's not even if you're in the business or not. I think it's just an age thing. Like they know who Mod Apatow is. **Chip** (00:28:43:20 - 00:28:45:02): Oh, I see what? You're okay. **Thomas** (00:28:45:02 - 00:28:48:17): Yeah, yeah, that's their entry point in. And then they're just like, oh, these other people. **Chip** (00:28:48:18 - 00:28:50:04): Like they're watching euphoria. **Thomas** (00:28:50:06 - 00:29:13:07): Yeah. Euphoria, which I've never seen a second of. But it's just such a different frame of reference. I'm just like, Judd Apatow is like my hero growing up, right? Like, and everybody else around him is like, Leslie Mann's his wife, Mod Apatow. I didn't know because when I started, being aware of who her father is, I don't even know if she was born yet. **Chip** (00:29:13:09 - 00:29:16:12): She. Yeah, she probably most likely was not. Yeah, yeah, because. **Thomas** (00:29:16:12 - 00:29:19:09): I have a million, but he's 1,000,010. **Chip** (00:29:19:11 - 00:29:26:08): So I think you would do really well on Chill Island. Thomas. That's how. Oh yeah. Oh yeah it is. **Thomas** (00:29:26:11 - 00:29:30:05): I've got the age. I'm an appropriately aged person to chill. 00:29:30:07 – 00:29:31:19 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. But yeah. No, I didn't think that was interesting. I remember just being like, oh, we're just we're on the same planet, but we're all living in different worlds to different galaxy. **Chip** (00:29:39:23 - 00:29:41:22): Same planet, different galaxy, new. 00:29:41:22 – 00:29:44:01 UNRESOLVED – Number two deaths. 00:29:44:03 – 00:29:45:01 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. **Thomas** (00:29:45:03 - 00:29:51:04): All right, buddy, let's move on to the next. The next piece, which is like. It's exciting in a way. 00:29:51:09 – 00:29:52:02 UNRESOLVED – Yeah, but. It's also terrifying in other ways. Yes. And I'm going to tell you why it's exciting. It's because year over year, from last year to this year, travel prices to places like Las Vegas, Orlando, Hawaii are down. 00:30:11:09 – 00:30:12:16 UNRESOLVED – Okay. Isn't that exciting? Chip we. **Chip** (00:30:14:07 - 00:30:14:19): Got is. **Thomas** (00:30:15:01 - 00:30:16:08): We've got an article. **Chip** (00:30:16:10 - 00:30:18:09): You seem hesitant about that though. **Thomas** (00:30:18:11 - 00:30:29:12): Well, I the reason they're down is because demand is also down supply and demand when there's demand for travel, when everybody's got bank accounts. **Chip** (00:30:29:12 - 00:30:30:22): Sure. **Thomas** (00:30:31:00 - 00:31:03:22): When everybody has the same idea that they want to go when they feel comfortable, like they can go on vacation. Yeah, they go on vacation. And the supply, the unavailable supply, the, empty hotel rooms, the, unsold tickets, they all go away. There's no inventory, so prices are up. But when people stop going, when people reduce their travel, then the supply is outsized and the prices have to go down to try and lure more people in. **Chip** (00:31:04:01 - 00:31:09:20): We just got an econ 101 right here, breaking econ 101 lecture I appreciate it. **Thomas** (00:31:09:22 - 00:31:35:10): Yeah, yeah. It's more it's more of a macro. We can get into the micro later on. All right. But, that's that's what it is. It's good news for us in theory. Yeah, but it is, you know, bad news kind of in general for everybody else. But it does mean that if you want to come to Chip Chantry Thanksgiving in Paradise, according to this article, it's going to be a little cheaper than it would have even been last year. **Chip** (00:31:35:12 - 00:31:37:08): That's why we waited, guys. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:31:37:13 - 00:31:43:04): I mean, we could have done this last year, but we were just like, what are we doing going at peak inflation? **Chip** (00:31:43:06 - 00:31:46:01): Yeah. Oh no thanks. **Thomas** (00:31:46:03 - 00:31:59:01): No thanks. So, I know everybody thinks like things are really expensive right now, but when we're talking about tropical travel, it's actually cheaper than it would have been last year to go. According to this article, we have done zero research, but it was like, where was the article chip? **Chip** (00:31:59:02 - 00:32:03:12): I think it was, Thomas O'Brien's mom.org. **Thomas** (00:32:03:12 - 00:32:23:15): Yeah. So my mom does a lot of research. She compiles economic factors. She also looks up once a year. Plane tickets to Hawaii, Orlando and Las Vegas. And she publishes those results on a blog. And then, we are referencing them here to serve our purposes. No, I think it was like us news and report or something like that. 00:32:23:16 – 00:32:25:05 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. I actually do think I have it. **Chip** (00:32:26:19 - 00:32:30:18): It's it's own. It's time to travel, buddy. That's what it is. **Thomas** (00:32:30:20 - 00:32:37:01): Oh, it's, it's travel pulse.com. That's how the article came from. That classic travel U.S news report. I don't know what Travel Pulse. **Chip** (00:32:43:05 - 00:32:48:20): I just remember just being a young child before we had a TV set in our house. 00:32:49:00 – 00:32:51:08 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. My brother and I would curl up in front of the radio and listen to the Superman cereal, and mother would be finishing the dishes, and father would be sitting by the fire reading his pipe. And open up to today's issue of Travel Pulse. You know, it's. And then and and sometimes if one of us was a little unruly or let's say it was a different time back then. Thomas. 00:33:22:04 – 00:33:22:20 UNRESOLVED – But if our dog Mr. Snaps, was barking too loud or caused a mess, my father would roll up that copy of Travel Pulse. 00:33:35:11 – 00:33:36:11 UNRESOLVED – And smack Mr. Snaps right on the snout. **Thomas** (00:33:41:17 - 00:33:55:09): Now everybody knows travel helps. Everybody grew up with it. It's been in our homes and lives for years, and it is the number one resource on economic data for the travel sector. **Chip** (00:33:55:09 - 00:34:09:18): When I was a young man trying to, raise money for the community center, I went door to door selling subscriptions to Travel Pulse. **Thomas** (00:34:09:19 - 00:34:12:15): You had a nice travel pulse route going. **Chip** (00:34:12:16 - 00:34:28:04): At a nice stretch and it. Yeah. And it it led to that where I was the the neighborhoods. Travel pulse boy where I would, you know, roll up those copies of Travel Pulse and throw them on everybody's front porch every morning at 6 a.m.. **Thomas** (00:34:28:06 - 00:34:34:15): Yeah. You can trust travel pulse like a big warm glass of milk and a hearty egg. Bacon breakfast. **Chip** (00:34:34:16 - 00:35:00:20): Right. And my father, you know, and his father actually grew up during the Great Depression, where he would literally stand on the corner in New York City, in Little Bosnia and, sell with his little Geoff cap and sell copies of Travel Pulse, you know, extra, extra travel prices or down travel pulse, you know, get you get your copy of Travel books and everybody would, you know, run around. Yeah. And then if you remember. 00:35:04:05 – 00:35:05:11 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Whenever there was a travel movie made in the 1940s, one of two things would happen when they were transitioning between scenes. It would either be like, you would see that map and then like a sort of crudely drawn airplane would travel across the ocean with the line. Yeah. And it just to designate where on on the map they've been. **Thomas** (00:35:27:20 - 00:35:28:06): Indiana. **Chip** (00:35:28:06 - 00:35:42:06): Jones, Indiana Jones. Exactly. And or they would just do like a spinning, visual of travel pulse with light and then freeze on today's headline. Yeah. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:35:42:08 - 00:35:53:07): So we all know it. We all trust it. It's beyond reproach. And I don't know, like, did your the college you go to have a big journalism school. **Chip** (00:35:53:09 - 00:36:01:00): Yes. I actually went to, Travel Pulse for undergrad. I went to travel, you for undergrad. **Thomas** (00:36:01:02 - 00:36:15:22): Oh, wow. So you went to the. Actually, we just had a class at the University of Oregon. The journalism school. There was just, one of the early classes. It was kind of a weed out class because I think it's so important, but so hard was, how to find the pulse of travel. Well, okay, I could see that. 00:36:17:04 – 00:36:18:07 UNRESOLVED – Yeah, yeah. **Chip** (00:36:18:08 - 00:36:27:01): He. That's got to be a tough one because. Cuz everybody thinks they're going to be a travel pulse writer. But then you have to separate the men from the voice. **Thomas** (00:36:27:03 - 00:36:42:12): The writers from the wannabes. The players from the pretenders. Yes. You got to get that separate. But it's just like it's so much harder to find the pulse of travel than to, say, human being. And that's what doctors do. And they go to school for eight years for that. **Chip** (00:36:42:14 - 00:36:43:08): Absolutely. **Thomas** (00:36:43:08 - 00:36:51:15): But it's like, I think there's just some people who can and some people who can't. So they kind of boil it down to one class in most major journalism schools, from what I understand. 00:36:51:17 – 00:36:52:23 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Yeah. Well, this has been very Sally Chip. **Chip** (00:36:55:17 - 00:37:00:10): I think it's been I think it's been very productive. I think speaking of productive, you know, what we need to do. 00:37:00:16 – 00:37:01:11 UNRESOLVED – Speaking of the greatest publications in the world. **Thomas** (00:37:05:11 - 00:37:08:15): Oh, right. Yes. Let's do. **Chip** (00:37:08:15 - 00:37:18:03): It. It's open. The good book. It is time to crack open the good book, ladies. Germs ones out there. We're talking Guinness Book of World Records. **Thomas** (00:37:18:05 - 00:37:46:04): We certainly are. We're we're we're working off the 2025 edition. And every week we each bring you just an absolute heater. Yeah, an absolute heater of a fact. We love the good book. We love human beings pushing themselves to the natural limit. And, Chip, what what are we going to be exploring with you today? Earlier in the podcast, you promised that your fact your Guinness Book of World Records was going to be. **Chip** (00:37:46:06 - 00:37:56:06): Hoard, hoard your hoard. There is rock hoard there. There's not a single good suit in this story. And we goosed him up a little bit. What do you what do you do, man. **Thomas** (00:38:00:17 - 00:38:10:06): We just him you know, that's the costume I've been fighting for for two years. For my child, for Halloween. I want my daughter to be dressed up as a little buff boy. **Chip** (00:38:10:07 - 00:38:10:18): A little buff. **Thomas** (00:38:10:18 - 00:38:18:19): Boy. And I have no less than 50 times searched, infant goose suit, and even Google is like. **Chip** (00:38:18:21 - 00:38:20:06): Yeah, that's. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:38:20:07 - 00:38:43:00): There is one of like. And I don't think it would work. It's like called Chompy or something like that, but it is definitely from the way I view it, a very buff, it's like kind of a buff suit for a baby, and it's got, like, boxing gloves on, but, like, the skin color is definitely, Asian. Somebody who's say Chinese or something like that. And I don't think that would be an appropriate fit for my baby yet. **Chip** (00:38:50:19 - 00:39:01:00): You don't want that to be. Yeah. You don't need her college applications, admissions office to be looking at her two year old Halloween costume. **Thomas** (00:39:01:02 - 00:39:11:12): Or is that going to, you know, kind of divert the focus from the photoshopped photos I have of her playing water polo? **Chip** (00:39:11:17 - 00:39:19:21): That's true. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, that either of those might not pass the smell test. Absolutely. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:39:19:23 - 00:39:37:04): Yeah. No, it seems offensive, but like, I have gone deep enough into the reservoir of baby costumes looking for a buff baby option that I did get to, like, definitely. Like, I think maybe Thailand kickboxer. **Chip** (00:39:37:06 - 00:39:38:03): Right. 00:39:38:05 – 00:39:41:23 UNRESOLVED – Full body suit, tattoos and everything. What? What episode number is this? Thomas. **Thomas** (00:39:44:07 - 00:39:46:21): It's episode number 28, if you can believe that. **Chip** (00:39:46:23 - 00:40:04:04): Okay, so, we've it's taken 20, 28 episodes. So you've said the most disturbing thing I think I've ever heard, which is, I think you I we can run the tape back, but I think you said I have reached the depths of the infant costume reservoir. Is that we had. **Thomas** (00:40:04:06 - 00:40:05:20): Yeah. Yeah. Something somewhere like that. **Chip** (00:40:05:21 - 00:40:22:10): It just it yeah, it it definitely sounds like, a place on a world in a marvel movie that, no one wants to go to. And that could get you potentially in a lot of trouble. And I think you're gonna find a goo suit at the bottom of that reservoir. **Thomas** (00:40:22:10 - 00:40:30:19): That's what I keep hoping I. I'm searching around it. It was one of the rejected neighborhoods on the star of the seas. 00:40:30:19 – 00:40:31:17 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. 00:40:31:19 – 00:40:34:13 UNRESOLVED – The, infant costume reservoir. Yeah. **Chip** (00:40:34:14 - 00:40:41:08): And and, also also rejected goose suit. Oaks was another one. **Thomas** (00:40:41:10 - 00:40:48:08): It's a goose. Oh, God. God, I, I'm ready for some more. I think you should leave. I think they should make more of that. **Chip** (00:40:48:10 - 00:40:49:23): Yeah, I think I think so. **Thomas** (00:40:49:23 - 00:40:51:16): That's just my $0.02, though, Chip. **Chip** (00:40:51:18 - 00:41:18:03): Okay, but they may have the world record for the funniest, sketch show of all time, But I have a record that literally is hoard. Hoard. This one is. This might be the most like. Remember we talked about, like, in the old. Guinness Book of World Records. There was like those ones that were a little like dicey. And I think I talked about it maybe two episodes ago where I talked about Harley, the professional lunatic, the guy who had he was on the bed of four nails where like, oh. **Thomas** (00:41:25:21 - 00:41:33:02): By the way, let's hold on for one second. Yeah. People have been going nuts for Harley, the professional lunatic. **Chip** (00:41:33:02 - 00:41:34:08): Really? **Thomas** (00:41:34:10 - 00:41:48:19): Yeah. It's just like, you know, emails. Last night, like last night, when I was out, a couple of people were like, well, this guy's for real. Like, specifically talking about the Saran wrap thing. They're like, I need to see this before I die. **Chip** (00:41:48:20 - 00:41:54:23): I've seen it. I think three times like it with sitting five feet away, and it's it's incredible. **Thomas** (00:41:54:23 - 00:41:55:22): I mean, but. **Chip** (00:41:55:22 - 00:42:06:22): Yeah, just look up at like, Harley professional lunatic Harley sideshow. And there's videos out there. I mean, it is. I don't know if there's videos of all of that, but man what what an entertainer. And yeah, it's it's great. **Thomas** (00:42:06:22 - 00:42:08:18): I mean, does he have Thanksgiving plans? **Chip** (00:42:08:18 - 00:42:12:23): Chip. If I could get him out to LA or out to Hawaii, man. **Thomas** (00:42:12:23 - 00:42:14:11): That's a double bill, buddy. **Chip** (00:42:14:13 - 00:42:15:21): Yeah, and I double. 00:42:15:21 – 00:42:16:14 UNRESOLVED – Bill. **Thomas** (00:42:16:16 - 00:42:21:21): Have you ever been opened for by a professional lunatic? **Chip** (00:42:21:23 - 00:42:24:01): In the standup comedy world, many times. **Thomas** (00:42:24:03 - 00:42:27:06): I guess that's almost exclusively, exclusively. **Chip** (00:42:27:08 - 00:42:33:04): You ask me if I if I haven't been opened by a professional lunatic. **Thomas** (00:42:33:06 - 00:42:37:04): That's it. What's the what's the wildest opener you ever had there? **Chip** (00:42:37:05 - 00:42:58:17): Yeah, I can't, I can't, okay, I can't even say it on the podcast. I don't even want to say it, but, like, there was a guy one time, and it was pretty recent 2 or 3 years ago, and we were out in the suburbs. It was sort of my hometown, and it was this like brewery show, but it was like, everybody's really cool and they were really into it, but was like a suburban crowd, you know, like whatever. They weren't like the wildest people in the world. And this dude went on. So it was like a bit of a showcase. There's like four of us on the show, I think. And then he goes up and for eight minutes, talks about the most horrific acts that you could perform on a, on a human being for like eight minutes. **Thomas** (00:43:22:09 - 00:43:27:15): What do you mean, acts on a human like, is it like, the weird fetish? **Chip** (00:43:27:15 - 00:43:39:22): Yeah, let's let's just call it that. Yeah. Okay. Let's just let's just call it that, and. Yeah, and, and then just left the stage, and then I have to do 45 minutes after that. 00:43:40:00 – 00:43:41:06 UNRESOLVED – Okay. Like. **Thomas** (00:43:41:08 - 00:43:44:09): You guys ever notice how seagulls are kind of bopping around there. **Chip** (00:43:44:09 - 00:44:03:18): Kind of weird, Yeah, yeah I did I literally it was so crazy. I had to address it for the first two minutes. Like I had to talk about it. I'm like, yeah, I guess I'm not going to do my chunk on that. And then, yeah, like, sorry guys. But yeah, I guess he, we really, we really wrote the same parallel thinking it's not thievery, but we wrote the same exact thing. 00:44:03:18 – 00:44:04:17 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. **Thomas** (00:44:04:19 - 00:44:08:05): You got to lift those jars back up off the floor somehow. 00:44:08:05 – 00:44:08:09 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Before you can, return to the comedy. **Chip** (00:44:10:18 - 00:44:36:01): Speaking of Lift and Jaws, let's do that. Congratulations to world record holder Croatia's own. Video. Mir. Mauricio, I think it is, is that there's a lot of punctuation going on. A lot a lot of, accent marks. And, I mean, there was like 4 or 5 of them just in his last name. Just. But it's a it's a vitamina, mask, I believe, is what it is. He's Croatian. He holds the record for the longest voluntarily held breath underwater. **Thomas** (00:44:43:11 - 00:44:47:09): Well, I mean, this one spooks me. Yep. 00:44:47:11 – 00:44:48:01 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. This one spook. I mean, holding breath is something I've never been great at. Clowning is a big fear. **Chip** (00:44:53:19 - 00:45:12:21): It's scary. Yep. Yeah. And by the way, I just love the fact that it is the record for the longest voluntarily held breath underwater. Because there have been people who have involuntarily held their breath underwater, and the record is still going. It's they've been doing it forever. **Thomas** (00:45:13:00 - 00:45:15:16): Yeah. Jimmy Hoffa type record. **Chip** (00:45:15:20 - 00:45:21:10): Yeah, exactly. He is still still holding that breath, which is kind of good for him. Congrats. 00:45:21:12 – 00:45:22:00 UNRESOLVED – I want you to take a guess. What is the time limit? That he held his breath for underwater, and I will say, and I will get into it more. I don't want to give too much away. He did have a little bit of, what's the word I'm looking for? He had a little bit of, like, technological help before setting this record. **Thomas** (00:45:52:11 - 00:46:07:03): Okay, I'm going to say something. I know it's a world record, so I know it's going to be unreasonable. So I'm going to up what my actual guesses just to try and be closer. I'm going to go 16 minutes. **Chip** (00:46:07:05 - 00:46:27:05): Very good. Time is very good okay. 16 minutes. Holding your breath. He set the record. He beat the former record by five minutes. Whoa. By like 10s by five minutes. He beat. He held his breath underwater for 29 minutes and three seconds. **Thomas** (00:46:27:06 - 00:46:30:21): I that's dying. There's no way. How is that. **Chip** (00:46:31:03 - 00:46:35:20): That's an A. That's a that's an entire episode of two and a Half Men with the commercials. **Thomas** (00:46:35:22 - 00:46:38:01): With the camera. Yeah. No, that's a fourth. **Chip** (00:46:38:03 - 00:46:40:21): That's 29 minutes. **Thomas** (00:46:40:23 - 00:46:44:23): How do you. You need a breath. You need air chip. **Chip** (00:46:45:01 - 00:47:03:16): No you don't apparently. Here's what he did. So by the way, there is a separate record that we're going to get to of just somebody going and then holding their breath. Okay. Yeah. He did have some technological some medical help with this. So basically what he did was and by the way, I should say we're going to get into this a little bit. He's a free diver, okay? We're like free diving. Is that where you, like, dive down for a long time? Whatever. You kind of get into that. I think he did this basically sort of just in like an above ground pool. It wasn't like he went down in the I think he was in a pool of water. But, what he did and I don't know, I guess free divers do this or whatever, but for ten minutes prior to this record, to him going out of water. 00:47:26:21 – 00:47:27:05 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. He inhaled pure oxygen, which you're not really supposed to do. Yeah. Like the air that we breathe is mostly nitrogen. You get a little oxygen in there. You're always breathing. So he had basically like a scuba tank kind of situation sitting there. And he breathed in pure oxygen for ten minutes. So that gave him five times the amount of oxygen as usual in his body. He had five times the amount of oxygen. It increased the oxygen levels not only in his red blood cells, which that's where you need the oxygen. Yeah, but also in his plasma, which apparently, like, I guess the body doesn't naturally do. So, like, there was just so much oxygen that he added in his red blood cells in the plasma. So it kind of stored up that oxygen. So he just had a bunch of that action. He was just breathing it in for, you know, for for ten minutes. He had five times the normal amount of oxygen. His body's like a normal person. Plus he's like a crazy, free diver. And then just and then the second part is what I think makes him relatable. Do you and I, for the second part of it, he went underwater and he just chilled. He used as little oxygen as possible. He brought that pulse down. He, you know, wasn't doing a lot of movements. He just chilled for almost a half hour and came up 29 minutes and three seconds later, beat the old record by five minutes. **Thomas** (00:48:55:17 - 00:48:58:01): And the old record was using, like, similar techniques. **Chip** (00:48:58:01 - 00:49:11:12): You think I would have to assume so. So now let's go. Let's go to this. I do have this, what do you think? The longest the record for the longest unassisted held breath is, like, without, like, the oxygen tanks or whatever. **Thomas** (00:49:11:12 - 00:49:19:04): Okay, I'm going to go with my original thing, because that's what I thought we were talking about. Yeah. I didn't even know something like this. Right? 00:49:19:06 – 00:49:19:22 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. I'll say 16 minutes. **Chip** (00:49:21:14 - 00:49:24:21): Six minutes. It was 11 minutes. 35 seconds. **Thomas** (00:49:24:21 - 00:49:26:08): So 11 is still too long. **Chip** (00:49:26:08 - 00:49:41:07): It's still way too long. And that was by, I believe his name is Branko Petrovic of Serbia. Man, there's, you know, all those those guys down in those those countries, you know. Yeah. I think they would feel very at home in a little Bosnia. You know, it's right there. Serbia. Croatia. Yeah. It's all right there. **Thomas** (00:49:41:07 - 00:49:44:09): What places do you hold your breath in real life. **Chip** (00:49:44:11 - 00:49:46:23): If I go swimming, which is very rare. 00:49:47:01 – 00:49:48:12 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. When I walk past somebody like in a bus station that looks like they probably have Covid of avoiding. 00:49:55:22 – 00:49:58:10 UNRESOLVED – Yeah, illnesses, avoiding smells. That's pretty much it. **Thomas** (00:50:00:09 - 00:50:07:16): Like when you, when you, clean up after Franklin. Yeah. Is there, is there a hold breath scenario there or you just kind of like, **Chip** (00:50:07:18 - 00:50:13:02): Don't get it. More if I did the cats because the cats are indoor outdoor, it's not usually, you know, you get some fresh air. **Thomas** (00:50:13:08 - 00:50:19:15): I'm holding my breath. I can't I can't handle that at all. I also hold my breath for tunnels. Always do. **Chip** (00:50:19:16 - 00:50:20:16): Okay, so you do that. Okay. **Thomas** (00:50:20:16 - 00:50:29:00): Yeah, I do that. I'm getting a wish out of it. And then the other time, I hold my breath. And this is a non-negotiable. 00:50:29:02 – 00:50:29:19 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. If somebody goes underwater in a movie. I will. **Chip** (00:50:34:14 - 00:50:36:02): You have to hold your breath just to see. **Thomas** (00:50:36:02 - 00:50:59:10): I will hold my breath to see, like how much strife they should be in. Yeah, like Titanic or anything. Where we're going underwater in a in a ship. Yeah. Anything where you need to go underwater in a cave. I am holding my breath to try. I mean, and I can't do it for very long. It's like to get to even a full minute is impossible. **Chip** (00:50:59:11 - 00:51:01:08): It's. It's difficult, man. It is. **Thomas** (00:51:01:08 - 00:51:05:10): It's difficult. So these people going ten x 30 x past that. 00:51:05:15 – 00:51:06:07 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. I'm just like, maybe, maybe some of these movies are a little more accurate than I'm giving them credit for, I guess. **Chip** (00:51:11:21 - 00:51:28:10): So. And again, these guys are free divers. So it's basically like you're kind of scuba diving without the tanks. You're just going down for as long as you can't. Ten minutes I guess at a time. And they can do this and it always just bothers me that free diver where like, I always feel like whenever you put free. Yeah, in front of an activity, it just makes it way more dangerous and scary. That's like free diving. Free, free solo climbing to. You see the movie free solo climb free. So, yeah. Crazy, right? So free diving, free solo climbing, freelancing. That's scary. You never know where your next job is coming from and. You don't have benefits. 00:51:49:00 – 00:51:49:16 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. **Thomas** (00:51:49:18 - 00:51:51:10): So if it does go wrong. **Chip** (00:51:51:12 - 00:51:55:05): It's. Yeah. If you want to go to the doctor, don't hold your breath. 00:51:55:07 – 00:51:57:05 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. 00:51:57:07 – 00:51:59:18 UNRESOLVED – Freestyle Rapping yeah. **Thomas** (00:52:00:00 - 00:52:01:19): Oh yeah. You get some trouble. Freestyle. **Chip** (00:52:01:22 - 00:52:08:16): If you can't think of a word that rhymes with, you know Lima bean, then you're stuck. Right. 00:52:08:18 – 00:52:10:09 UNRESOLVED – Okay. And then the scariest one, I think free samples, free samples, free samples. You're in that grocery store, and they have a chocolate covered Rice Krispie treat that they just want you to see. Take it for a spin, kick the tires. 00:52:25:02 – 00:52:25:12 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. And you're like, this is dangerous. I think I should be holding my breath, but instead of open that mouth many, many times. **Thomas** (00:52:33:07 - 00:52:37:10): I think another thing that is more substantially dangerous when you put free in front of it. 00:52:37:16 – 00:52:37:22 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Is, pets like free dog. Free cat. That's a more dangerous. That's a more dangerous acquisition. **Chip** (00:52:45:19 - 00:53:01:12): Yeah. Yeah. No, definitely. Yeah. So. But anyway. Yeah. Congratulations. To create Croatia's own veto. Veto? Mirror mask for the longest voluntarily held breath underwater. 29 minutes, three seconds. **Thomas** (00:53:01:14 - 00:53:13:21): And you know what that means? That he only needs to breaths to get through your whole set at, Chip Chantry Thanksgiving in Paradise. **Chip** (00:53:13:23 - 00:53:29:17): Honestly, he just needs one. Really? Like, he just he holds us, but I guess he's at the beginning. But then he holds his breath, and then halfway through, he's got to be like and be like. Sir, can you please quiet down? And then. And then he's fine. Yeah, yeah. Probably not buying too many drinks that night. There's. There might be a two item minimum I don't know. **Thomas** (00:53:29:17 - 00:53:34:14): Oh I think yeah, there definitely is. It's not two item. It's a, it's a $20 minimum. **Chip** (00:53:34:15 - 00:53:36:11): Okay. All right. **Thomas** (00:53:36:13 - 00:53:48:11): So I mean, he can really get through that, but I guess, you know, one big exhale, maybe one big sip. And then one big inhale. **Chip** (00:53:48:13 - 00:53:57:00): And he'll be doing what my favorite movie title of all time is. He'll be Waiting to Exhale. **Thomas** (00:53:57:02 - 00:53:59:06): You do love Waiting to Exhale. **Chip** (00:53:59:08 - 00:54:06:10): Love it. Speaking of 1990 movies 1999, I'm going to say that's 1999 waiting, exhale, maybe 1999 I feel. **Thomas** (00:54:06:10 - 00:54:07:17): Like it's got to be a little earlier. **Chip** (00:54:07:23 - 00:54:10:09): Yeah. 1994 95 waiting to exhale. **Thomas** (00:54:10:10 - 00:54:11:18): Who is that? Is that Whitney Houston? **Chip** (00:54:12:00 - 00:54:13:21): I want to say it is. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:54:13:23 - 00:54:16:11): I could be wrong. What a talent. What an absolute talent. **Chip** (00:54:16:15 - 00:54:18:17): And what a set of lungs. **Thomas** (00:54:18:18 - 00:54:27:03): It's true, it's true. I bet she could have held it. I bet she could have held it if she needed to. Maybe that's how she practiced. Maybe that's how she grew strength. And her diaphragm and chest. **Chip** (00:54:27:05 - 00:54:29:05): Yeah, probably free diving. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:54:29:06 - 00:54:31:20): It's time to jump over to my world record. **Chip** (00:54:31:20 - 00:54:32:13): Yeah, let's do it. **Thomas** (00:54:32:13 - 00:54:48:22): I'm not going to lie, I picked this one largely in part because the picture in The Good Book is of a young man on a beach wearing a Hawaiian style polo shirt. It looks like I'm just like, this is a burnt one. **Chip** (00:54:49:00 - 00:54:49:06): Yep. **Thomas** (00:54:49:06 - 00:55:04:06): He got in the good book and he chose to wore a floral with a car. Good. Like this is this is the kind of person that we're going to cover, the kind of person we're going to celebrate. And it's also a three timer, world record holder champ. **Chip** (00:55:04:08 - 00:55:05:08): Good for him. **Thomas** (00:55:05:10 - 00:55:27:16): Three timer. So on July 14th of 2023, Aiden Webster of the USA capped three torches in the air while juggling while they were flaming for the longest time in history on a beach in Saint Petersburg, Florida. **Chip** (00:55:27:18 - 00:55:32:09): So juggling flaming torches for the longest length in air? **Thomas** (00:55:32:10 - 00:55:33:17): Yes, for the longest length. **Chip** (00:55:33:18 - 00:55:34:14): Literally a. **Thomas** (00:55:34:14 - 00:55:44:16): Burnt one. Literally a burnt one on the beach in a floral, having the time of his life pushing the limits that nobody else has pushed before. 00:55:44:22 – 00:55:45:14 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. It must be harder than I think, because the time period for this is a little shorter than I would actually have guessed. **Chip** (00:55:53:01 - 00:55:58:02): Well, you I mean, you're juggling, so that's a lot. And then you have to keep them lit. So it's like, how do you I. **Thomas** (00:55:58:02 - 00:56:00:06): Think the lit part is the hardest. **Chip** (00:56:00:06 - 00:56:03:20): Yeah. Because it's going to burn down the fuel or whatever. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:56:04:02 - 00:56:12:21): Because you can juggle all day. Yeah I mean I've seen I've seen people juggle all day, but you want to take a guess at how long he kept these, baddies in the air and burning. See, it. **Chip** (00:56:12:21 - 00:56:27:11): Could be really long. It could be short. Like, is it five minutes and then it burns out. Is it? You know what? Okay, I'm going to go. I'm going to go. Seven minutes. **Thomas** (00:56:27:13 - 00:56:30:05): Chip. So you're actually so close. 00:56:30:10 – 00:56:31:07 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. You were so close. You were even closer. You were calmer beforehand. You were closer to the, the temperature of the heat. You were hotter. It was five minutes and two seconds. **Chip** (00:56:43:11 - 00:56:49:13): Wow. I can't because I get. Yeah, because he could juggle probably for longer than that. But to keep them lit. **Thomas** (00:56:49:15 - 00:56:55:18): I think it's to keep them lit. And here's the other thing. That was only one of three records he set that day. **Chip** (00:56:55:20 - 00:56:58:06): That day, that day. 00:56:58:08 – 00:56:59:00 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. All right. So also got the burnt juggling stick. **Thomas** (00:57:02:00 - 00:57:12:02): He's got the, the longest juggling burning torches. Yeah. He also set the record for most one up back somersaults and one minute. 00:57:12:04 – 00:57:13:09 UNRESOLVED – Whoa. That's 11. And he set the red. This one is insane. Set the record for most juggling catches and one minute with one hand while dead hanging from an object. **Chip** (00:57:27:21 - 00:57:29:00): Oh my God. **Thomas** (00:57:29:02 - 00:57:33:15): So, like, he's got he's dead hanging and he's juggling two balls. **Chip** (00:57:33:15 - 00:57:36:12): So like, from like it, like got, like a pull up bar kind of situation. **Thomas** (00:57:36:12 - 00:57:45:11): Yeah. Dangling from a pull up bar with one hand and then juggling two balls with the other hand. And he did that 162 times. **Chip** (00:57:45:11 - 00:57:46:22): And these are juggling balls. Yes. 00:57:47:17 – 00:57:48:02 UNRESOLVED – Okay. **Thomas** (00:57:48:04 - 00:57:51:09): Or actually doesn't say balls. It says juggling catches and one. **Chip** (00:57:51:09 - 00:57:52:20): Okay. All right okay. Good. **Thomas** (00:57:52:20 - 00:57:54:17): Talk about a talented pop. Yeah. **Chip** (00:57:54:18 - 00:57:59:13): Like did he do any did you do them simultaneously. Which one did he do first. Yeah I would imagine the. **Thomas** (00:57:59:13 - 00:58:06:17): Least strenuous has to be juggling for five minutes. It's I'm not saying that's the easiest. There's a lot of factors there. If fire is involved you have sharp. **Chip** (00:58:06:17 - 00:58:07:13): Two for that one. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:58:07:13 - 00:58:27:04): Yeah. You want to be sharp for that one. But I think the one UPS has to be the most strenuous. And I would guess the, the hanging which according to the American or the President's Council on Fitness, barely considers exercise. That's what George Michael was very good at and rested on it. **Chip** (00:58:27:06 - 00:58:28:02): Yes. He did. 00:58:28:04 – 00:58:29:08 UNRESOLVED – **Thomas** (00:58:29:10 - 00:58:38:16): So that's, that's, probably the second least strenuous, I don't know. Yeah. If you're going in order, I almost feel like you want to do the hardest one last. **Chip** (00:58:38:18 - 00:58:40:16): Yeah. Building up to it, I guess. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:58:40:17 - 00:59:05:18): Because you got to do these other ones. They're fine tuned. Like very technical challenges. Right. And if you have muscle fatigue it's going to be tougher to accomplish those things. And I do think that like if you juggled for five minutes before doing the one arm. Oh. What's it called. The one up back somersaults. 00:59:05:18 – 00:59:07:22 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. I feel like, doing a little bit of juggling before that wouldn't really hurt your flow. **Chip** (00:59:13:14 - 00:59:15:01): That's true. That is true. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:59:15:05 - 00:59:20:21): At three records, one day, all on the beach. A true burnt one for him. **Chip** (00:59:20:21 - 00:59:27:23): Man. We. Man, it makes me feel we need to get some records out on the books, because these guys are. These guys are doing great things. **Thomas** (00:59:27:23 - 00:59:46:07): They're doing great things. But, like, what I liked about him is I think it's probably challenging to get the good book to come see you. Yeah. So if they're going to make the trip to Saint Petersburg to come watch you do your thing, you might want to have a couple other tricks up your sleeve so you can get a, hat trick. Just like Aiden. **Chip** (00:59:47:08 - 00:59:54:17): I wonder what the world record for world records is. How many world records set in one day. He's got to be up there. **Thomas** (00:59:54:19 - 00:59:58:17): We actually at one point covered that on whacked out videos. **Chip** (00:59:58:19 - 01:00:00:03): I really okay. **Thomas** (01:00:00:07 - 01:00:03:10): It was, not quite whacked out sports, whacked out video stuff. **Chip** (01:00:03:11 - 01:00:04:14): It is. **Thomas** (01:00:04:16 - 01:00:21:20): And there was a dude who was, yeah, like claim to be addicted to setting world records. And it was just he was doing a bunch of stuff, on the bottom of pools. He was. I think he was doing some stuff on pogo sticks. Like he was really just taking wide shots. He was going at it with a shotgun, wasn't really aiming at anything specific. Just like if he saw some low hanging fruit, he got the biggest piece of that low hanging fruit. You know, I mean, that's a new world record. 01:00:29:11 – 01:00:30:22 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. But, three in a day, that might be a record. I don't know how many people have done three a day. **Chip** (01:00:35:05 - 01:00:37:09): No, I haven't, I'll be honest with you. Yeah. **Thomas** (01:00:37:11 - 01:00:50:19): We're like pigs. We're hunting for those record truffles. We're just. We got our noses in the dirt, and we're scooting around trying to find something that we can do. Yeah, we do have a couple of ideas. We've talked about it. The most. Hawaiian shirts. **Chip** (01:00:50:19 - 01:00:51:22): Worn. Yep. **Thomas** (01:00:51:23 - 01:00:56:16): In one place. We think that one is well within our grasp in the next 2 to 3 years. **Chip** (01:00:56:18 - 01:00:57:10): Absolutely. **Thomas** (01:00:57:10 - 01:01:05:12): There's a lot of of, innovative thinking that can lead you to a record, just the same way elite performance can. **Chip** (01:01:05:15 - 01:01:07:17): And I think what we're doing is very elite. **Thomas** (01:01:07:19 - 01:01:30:03): And speaking of elite, yeah, I think it's time that we shift to talking about the greatest burnt one of all time. Jimmy Buffett. We are just obsessed with this man. We celebrate his whole career. We celebrate his life. We're sad that he's gone, but we've been doing some digging, and we found some, amazing, positive facts about his life. And, once again, like we do every episode, we're going to, we're going to share, one each with you. **Chip** (01:01:36:03 - 01:02:00:16): Absolutely. My Jimmy Buffett fact was inspired. I saw it and I was like, oh, this is just like my very similar to my world record today. So I thought it was very appropriate that I chose this one. Jimmy Buffett never went scuba diving in the Caribbean. He just used his gills. **Thomas** (01:02:00:17 - 01:02:11:08): A lot of people don't know that. He he was so adapted to the ocean and the ocean lifestyle that his body also followed suit. **Chip** (01:02:11:10 - 01:02:26:07): Yeah, well, it's that, it sounds like maybe like a flute or a recorder or some sort of, instrument in Margaritaville, where it's like, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. It's actually just him, whistling through the gills. **Thomas** (01:02:26:08 - 01:02:41:21): The gill whistling gill. Oh, what a talent, dude. Yeah, what a talent. It's odd because my Jimmy Buffett fact also revolves around the water. Okay, but it was like, less how he operated in the water and more how the water operated around him. 01:02:41:22 – 01:02:42:12 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Jimmy Buffett never worried about the ocean's tides, but the ocean worries obsessively about navigating Jimmy's vibes. **Chip** (01:02:55:07 - 01:03:03:08): I love it. I would 100% agree with that. I think the ocean moves in mysterious ways, and one of those keys to that mystery is Mr. Jimmy Buffett. **Thomas** (01:03:03:09 - 01:03:18:03): From my understanding, there was two main poles on the ocean, and one is the moon's position around the Earth, the gravitational pull. And then just kind of what Jimmy was doing, where he was thrown out there into the universe, wave wise. **Chip** (01:03:18:03 - 01:03:25:03): I mean, I think we just learned about science. We just learned a little bit about nature, maybe about the cosmos, and most importantly, Mr. Jimmy Buffett. **Thomas** (01:03:25:03 - 01:03:30:00): And most importantly, Jimmy Buffett. And I think a little bit about ourselves. **Chip** (01:03:30:02 - 01:03:32:03): I think we learned a lot about ourselves today. Dude, I will tell you one thing about this episode. I think it went hard. Hard. It went hard this hard, hard. **Thomas** (01:03:40:08 - 01:03:53:23): And it's so hard to say goodbye. But that's what we gotta do, champ. It's time to wrap this baddy up. This is the sunbird podcast. We talk about comedy and tropical travel. Until next time, stay burnt. Front desk. **Chip** (01:03:53:23 - 01:03:59:13): Hey, this is Mr. Chantry in room three eight. I was wondering if you could come up here real quick. And by the way, have you seen that movie, Tommy Boy? **Thomas** (01:03:59:13 - 01:04:06:15): Mr. Chantry, I'm not coming up there and reenacting that scene from Tommy Boy, and I can't won't do that accent. **Chip** (01:04:06:21 - 01:04:09:22): All right, well, can I come down and do it to you? **Thomas** (01:04:09:22 - 01:04:10:21): I can't stop. **Chip** (01:04:10:21 - 01:04:11:22): You. Be right down.
