**Thomas** (00:00:00:00 - 00:00:12:10): Happy Halloween burnt ones. It is the Sun Burnt podcast where we're going to have a spooky good time talking about comedy and tropical travel. To my right is amazing stand up comedian. You. Know him from. Tires on Netflix in a stand up special. Move closer. It's Philadelphia's own chip chantry. **Chip** (00:00:19:06 - 00:00:30:22): And over here on the last house on the left is the Emmy Award winning writer, producer, and owner of his own haunted mansion, Mister Thomas O'Brien. **Thomas** (00:00:30:22 - 00:00:32:10): We're doing a couple of additions. 00:00:32:10 – 00:00:32:18 UNRESOLVED – Chip. 00:00:32:18 – 00:00:34:02 UNRESOLVED – It's just a haunted house. Now, but we're going to get there. **Chip** (00:00:35:16 - 00:00:46:07): I had a haunted apartment for a while. Yeah. You know, it's when you're renting. It's it's also it's also scary because, that landlord is looking for the check every month, so two, two specters. **Thomas** (00:00:46:07 - 00:00:50:08): I'll tell you this. You want to get an LLC and you want to go the. Haunted route because you can get a ghost loan. **Chip** (00:00:52:20 - 00:00:55:05): Is that okay? That's the way it is. **Thomas** (00:00:55:05 - 00:00:57:11): And, as you know, you pay those in bonds. **Chip** (00:00:57:11 - 00:01:01:12): You do? Because the bonds. Are those. The money that the skeletons use? The bones are the money? Yeah. That's what I want to know is. And you don't see too many haunted apartments. You don't see too many haunted rental units. 00:01:11:07 – 00:01:12:04 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. It's always owner occupied ghosts. **Thomas** (00:01:14:11 - 00:01:15:08): Oh, I really do. Wonder, though. Is it like. Because all apartments are haunted? **Chip** (00:01:21:23 - 00:01:23:06): I think they kind of are. **Thomas** (00:01:23:07 - 00:01:25:09): Maybe it's just so status quo. **Chip** (00:01:25:10 - 00:01:34:07): Yeah, that we just, like. I'm just miserable anyway. Why worry about the 300 year old lady sitting in the corner crying in her bridal gown? **Thomas** (00:01:34:07 - 00:01:35:07): Yeah, it's going to be in the. Next apartment I go to. I'm just in the haunted station. Alive. Yeah. I also think this is something. About horror movies in general. Haunted house movies, specifically. **Chip** (00:01:44:04 - 00:01:45:06): Love haunted house movies. **Thomas** (00:01:45:06 - 00:01:46:10): Oh, unbelievable. They there's always. **Chip** (00:01:47:08 - 00:01:50:23): In the back of your mind, it's like. But. **Thomas** (00:01:51:01 - 00:01:52:01): Move. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. **Chip** (00:01:54:04 - 00:01:55:17): Yeah. You you can leave. **Thomas** (00:01:55:17 - 00:01:58:13): If you're renting. That's just going to be a month's rent, baby. **Chip** (00:01:58:13 - 00:02:05:11): Yeah, that's all it is. It's not. You don't have to find buyers. You don't have to put it. There's no escrow. You're just you're a I. **Thomas** (00:02:05:11 - 00:02:08:16): Think a lot of people get stuck in haunted houses because of closing costs. **Chip** (00:02:08:18 - 00:02:14:15): It's the interest rates. The interest rates are what are causing more hauntings than anything else right now. **Thomas** (00:02:14:16 - 00:02:21:00): I like a fed chair who is just, like, mostly concerned about getting these rent rates down. 00:02:21:00 – 00:02:21:06 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. So he can leave a haunted situation. **Chip** (00:02:23:18 - 00:02:34:23): That yeah, he's just like, I, I have a summer home in Montauk that is just riddled with specters, and yet we need to get it. The interest rate down below 5%. **Thomas** (00:02:35:00 - 00:02:37:01): Who's the richest guy that's ever been haunted? Chip? **Chip** (00:02:37:02 - 00:02:38:12): I don't know, Scrooge McDuck. **Thomas** (00:02:38:12 - 00:02:39:20): I'm going to Ebenezer Scrooge. **Chip** (00:02:39:20 - 00:02:46:15): See, I like how you and Ebenezer Scrooge, because you are much more well-read than I am. And I went for a cartoon bird. **Thomas** (00:02:46:15 - 00:02:49:00): The are the cartoons anymore. I know there's not. Saturday morning cartoons, so kids watching the towns. **Chip** (00:02:51:11 - 00:03:04:19): I don't know, I don't think kids are really watching, like, a sort of a three act structure narrative cartoon. It's just more like computer animated blobs that, I don't know, dance around or whatever. **Thomas** (00:03:04:19 - 00:03:07:01): I saw some amazing AI slop. This week show. **Chip** (00:03:07:19 - 00:03:09:14): Do you say I slop some? 00:03:09:14 – 00:03:10:14 UNRESOLVED – I slop? Let's hear it, buddy. 00:03:11:18 – 00:03:12:17 UNRESOLVED – So I slop. **Thomas** (00:03:12:17 - 00:03:16:07): Is just what whatever I stuff is going out into the Social's. **Chip** (00:03:16:07 - 00:03:16:20): Sure. **Thomas** (00:03:16:22 - 00:03:22:12): People are using automated systems, making some absolute dog crap. **Chip** (00:03:22:14 - 00:03:22:23): **Thomas** (00:03:23:03 - 00:03:26:17): And plopping it out there on the internet and dude. You know, K-pop demon Hunter. We talked about this on the. **Chip** (00:03:29:00 - 00:03:46:11): Podcast. Yes. You, you know, it's so funny. You talked about it. And then we were having dinner with friends of ours who have a, child, right around your age. Not your age, but your your child's age. I mean, if they had a child who was, you know, early 40s, that would be, you know, those would be older people, and that's fine. But they have a child who is about, I mean, wow, it could almost be to the day. How how, how how close they are in age. But anyway, they were talking about this demon hunter, Stuff. Yeah. So in. **Thomas** (00:04:00:11 - 00:04:06:05): The show, there's a K-pop group that hunts demons, right? 00:04:06:07 – 00:04:06:19 UNRESOLVED – Sure. **Chip** (00:04:07:00 - 00:04:10:03): And then I sussed that out from the title. Yes. Go ahead. **Thomas** (00:04:10:03 - 00:04:14:09): But the yin to their yang is, yes, a K-pop group. That is full of demons, a boy band. **Chip** (00:04:17:09 - 00:04:18:13): Okay. **Thomas** (00:04:18:15 - 00:04:29:18): So if you can imagine the worlds apart they are while they're in the same space. And then there is a love story between the two lead singers. Wow, it's a real Romeo and Juliet. **Chip** (00:04:29:23 - 00:04:37:11): It really is. I will say this. I've seen a lot of true Hollywood stories in my day. Yeah, every boy band has a lot of demons. I will say that. They do, remember? **Thomas** (00:04:41:07 - 00:04:42:14): And along. Came Polly, where Philip Seymour Hoffman, he. **Chip** (00:04:44:22 - 00:04:49:03): Rubs his, his big old belly all over Ben Stiller's face. **Thomas** (00:04:49:05 - 00:04:49:13): Well, that's. Playing that's when they're playing. Whoops. Yes, but Philip Seymour Hoffman has. Hired a crew to follow him around. Yes. And he is going to sell his own true Hollywood story. **Chip** (00:04:58:17 - 00:04:59:03): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:04:59:03 - 00:05:04:01): A very sad premise and a very funny, funny, underrated movie in my opinion. **Chip** (00:05:04:01 - 00:05:04:11): Yeah. Great movie. **Thomas** (00:05:05:00 - 00:05:05:12): So anyway. Sanju, boys, this is the boy band. **Chip** (00:05:07:10 - 00:05:08:07): Yeah, he. **Thomas** (00:05:08:09 - 00:05:10:08): Is the girl band. But Sanju boys. Got serve some eye. Slop where people took images of the Sanju boys. **Chip** (00:05:15:07 - 00:05:17:18): Yeah, and it. **Thomas** (00:05:17:19 - 00:05:18:21): Made them kids. It's called Sanju kids and like they. They came up with this elaborate thing where these, these like characters are one by one. Drinking. **Chip** (00:05:26:19 - 00:05:40:07): All these, like, neon potions in a lab. And then they all turn into little children. And there is this never ending I song that is just kind of narrating what they're doing to like, a weird beat. **Thomas** (00:05:40:09 - 00:05:42:08): And the animations. **Chip** (00:05:42:08 - 00:05:52:09): Start to make less and less sense as it goes on. The song gets longer and longer with no chorus, and then all of a sudden, like they're bringing in other characters from the movie and. **Thomas** (00:05:52:11 - 00:05:54:05): I just couldn't. I was so, like. Transfixed by how weird and bizarre it was to see these characters drink this potion. Turn into children, and. Then just kind of run around this lab while this woman tries to splash them with different potions to get them back. And it had hundreds of thousands of views. Chat. **Chip** (00:06:11:14 - 00:06:16:02): And it was mostly from your home, which is interesting from the same IP address. **Thomas** (00:06:16:02 - 00:06:20:13): It gets done and I'm like, run that back. I got to figure out what these kids are up to. **Chip** (00:06:20:13 - 00:06:22:04): I mean, they're not Sandra men anymore. 00:06:22:07 – 00:06:24:05 UNRESOLVED – No, no, I know they're Sanja. 00:06:24:05 – 00:06:25:10 UNRESOLVED – Boys is the. Band. Unless you splash them with the neon potion. **Thomas** (00:06:27:19 - 00:06:29:06): You got to splashing with the neon potion. **Chip** (00:06:29:08 - 00:06:33:03): Speaking of splashing with the neon potion, you. We should do. **Thomas** (00:06:33:05 - 00:06:36:09): Oh, maybe a little slather. **Chip** (00:06:36:11 - 00:06:49:05): Yeah. And we also have to, before we kick this thing off. Officially. Yeah. We have to address the elephant in the room. We've, we both decided to, dress up for the holiday. **Thomas** (00:06:49:05 - 00:06:53:04): Yeah, yeah, it's it's Halloween. And we each came up. With, I think, a really great costume. **Chip** (00:06:55:02 - 00:06:57:13): Yeah. Yours looks good. What is, what is your costume? **Thomas** (00:06:57:13 - 00:06:58:05): What I went. With. I thought it'd be cool because we do this travel podcast. It's tropical. It's fun. And, you know, we're. Basically just, like, excited. About everybody. Taking a vacation from all walks. Of life. So I decided. To dress up. As a lumberjack on. Vacation. **Chip** (00:07:16:15 - 00:07:18:00): Oh. That's great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's great. **Thomas** (00:07:21:00 - 00:07:26:01): What, what did you end up going with Chip? **Chip** (00:07:26:03 - 00:07:38:08): I also wanted to do the fun vacation thing, so I also dressed up as a lumberjack on vacation. Okay. Flannel shirt, wool hat. We should have coordinated this. **Thomas** (00:07:38:10 - 00:07:41:13): You did kind of, bring it. Up as, like, one of the ideas. **Chip** (00:07:43:05 - 00:07:53:04): I guess. So I thought we were each going to do our own special thing, and now we're both dressed like lumberjacks on vacation. **Thomas** (00:07:53:06 - 00:07:55:21): Yeah, well. **Chip** (00:07:55:21 - 00:07:58:12): That's fun. Let's start the show. Let's do it. I'll do it. This is the sunburn. **Thomas** (00:08:01:15 - 00:08:04:05): Podcast, where we talk about comedy and tropical travel. **Chip** (00:08:04:06 - 00:08:06:12): As lumberjacks. 00:08:06:14 – 00:08:08:05 UNRESOLVED – As lumberjacks on. **Thomas** (00:08:08:05 - 00:08:09:14): Vacation. You can tell by. The shirts on the shirts. **Chip** (00:08:11:05 - 00:08:11:23): Shirts on shirts. 00:08:11:23 – 00:08:13:05 UNRESOLVED – Baby. If comedy and tropical. **Thomas** (00:08:13:05 - 00:08:15:21): Travel in your mind should go together like a. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. With the chocolate and the peanut butter. Then stay tuned. Front desk. **Chip** (00:08:24:16 - 00:08:28:04): Hi, this is Mr. Chantry in room 308. I'd like to make a complaint. Oh, I'm. **Thomas** (00:08:28:04 - 00:08:30:05): So sorry to hear that. What's the problem, Mr. Chantry? Well, I. **Chip** (00:08:30:05 - 00:08:36:07): Was getting a lot of nasty looks from your staff and other guests at the clothing optional indoor pool. Just now. **Thomas** (00:08:36:10 - 00:08:38:10): There's no clothing optional pool. **Chip** (00:08:38:10 - 00:08:41:23): Oh, okay. Well, what time is the clothing optional breakfast buffet open? Oh, boy. Jeff. Tommy. Dude, it is episode 37. **Thomas** (00:08:46:05 - 00:08:47:14): Of the Sunburnt podcast. **Chip** (00:08:47:14 - 00:08:48:16): Do you know what I have to say about that? **Thomas** (00:08:48:16 - 00:08:51:20): What do you have to say about that? **Chip** (00:08:51:22 - 00:08:54:16): Because I'm a lumberjack on vacation. **Thomas** (00:08:54:18 - 00:08:56:19): We are just clearing fields here. **Chip** (00:08:56:21 - 00:09:00:05): We were, And we are clearing the way. Also to Chip. **Thomas** (00:09:00:06 - 00:09:01:19): Chantry is Thanksgiving a Paradise? Which I cannot even believe. I'm so. Excited. Dude. 27 days, my man. Crazy until Chip Chantry sanctioned in Paradise. Two shows, comedy shows in Waikiki, on the beach, in. Honolulu the day before Thanksgiving, November 26th. Tickets on sale at the Blue Note hawaii.com. And you can also. Find those same tickets at. Sun Burnt. Podcast.com. Do not go on Google and type in the tickets. You will. Find an incredible amount of resellers selling them for. Hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Yep, I saw a four figure ticket and there's still some. Available at the box office, so. Just go do it. If you're going to be in Waikiki. This I mean, November. 26th on Wednesday. Yep. Come hang come to the show. This is all we've. Been dreaming about. All year. It was our goal this year. We were going to. Do a big show for Chip and Waikiki. The week of Thanksgiving. We're making it happen. We put, Feet to the pavement. We're putting, you know, feet to an airplane pretty. **Chip** (00:10:09:08 - 00:10:12:16): Soon, and we can't even tell you the other body parts we're putting to things. **Thomas** (00:10:12:16 - 00:10:14:11): To say that we've given it. All to make this happen. Is almost an. Understatement. Yes, but I'm so excited. But I can't imagine. A better situation. Waikiki all day. As, night time. Approaches, steps from the sand. You go to the Outrigger Hotel, walk up, or just ride an escalator. You have to walk up stairs, right? An escalator. Up, and you will see. The Blue Note Hawaii right in front of you. **Chip** (00:10:38:04 - 00:10:40:15): I'm so excited. I'm shaking. I'm so excited. **Thomas** (00:10:40:16 - 00:10:48:05): You and the wife, you're kind of like, dude, is it starting to get real for you as a couple? Are you are you both feeling the Hawaii? **Chip** (00:10:48:07 - 00:10:53:20): Pull it really? Is that that that gravity is pulling us? You know, for a while. It's it's this, trip. Could you wait a second? Could you maybe second. Timber. There it is. **Thomas** (00:10:59:06 - 00:11:00:07): All right. Continue. **Chip** (00:11:00:09 - 00:11:14:17): There it is. Yeah, that's what we're feeling. It's. Sometimes a tree falls in the forest and you don't hear it. But we are hearing those trees fall now. Yeah. It's one of those things where it's like this abstract thing where it's like, okay, I think we're going away. And then like, I got the tickets and it's like, okay, it's real, but it's still far away. Yeah, I don't know. And now we're really like diving in, like looking online, watching videos, like reading about all these places and just we're like, man, this is so these next couple weeks, like I got a lot of work to do these next couple of weeks. But it's going to be fun work because it's leading up to this, to to this crazy vacation. **Thomas** (00:11:32:08 - 00:11:33:23): And I'm so excited it ties. **Chip** (00:11:33:23 - 00:11:40:13): Into for me, Hawaii and and, Halloween go hand in hand because the first time I went. **Thomas** (00:11:40:18 - 00:11:41:17): I want to say. It must have been November 1st. 00:11:43:22 – 00:11:45:14 UNRESOLVED – Okay. Because I was. **Chip** (00:11:45:19 - 00:11:46:13): On Saints Day. All Saints Day. I went to a, like, a Halloween. **Thomas** (00:11:49:20 - 00:11:51:10): Party the night before. **Chip** (00:11:51:11 - 00:11:53:14): Okay? And I've talked about it many times. I was working on two television shows at the same time for different companies, which is almost unheard of. Yeah, I had worked 30 days straight. I had worked. **Thomas** (00:12:02:06 - 00:12:07:16): Many, many a night shift and a day shift for different. Productions. **Chip** (00:12:09:02 - 00:12:16:04): And I also had been like trying to eat right? Yeah. So like, you're on program, I was no, no. **Thomas** (00:12:16:04 - 00:12:17:00): Play and. All work and no even like cheat foodies and the first like I literally. **Chip** (00:12:23:21 - 00:12:30:13): Wrapped the second show the night of this Halloween party. So like I came out of. **Thomas** (00:12:30:13 - 00:12:34:05): There, went home, put on my deluxe Bret the. Hitman Hart costume, I. **Chip** (00:12:35:15 - 00:12:36:09): Love it. I had a long, flowing curly wig. I had the singlet, I had some real bogus. **Thomas** (00:12:43:18 - 00:12:47:19): You know, when you buy a wrestling costume, everything generally. Looks pretty good except for your body because you can't fill it out the way they do on TV. **Chip** (00:12:53:12 - 00:12:54:23): And let's get a new suit. **Thomas** (00:12:55:01 - 00:12:57:15): And yeah, I should have goosed up. Yeah. Bret, that man Hart was known for being real oily. **Chip** (00:13:00:05 - 00:13:02:21): But yeah, if you oil up a good suit, you're almost in. **Thomas** (00:13:02:21 - 00:13:05:18): More trouble than not looking in peak physical. **Chip** (00:13:05:18 - 00:13:07:05): Condition. It really sags. **Thomas** (00:13:07:05 - 00:13:08:09): Because I think a goose suit. Is goose feathers. Right? **Chip** (00:13:10:00 - 00:13:11:05): That sounds about right to me. Yeah, I think, you know. **Thomas** (00:13:12:14 - 00:13:18:04): You got one of those, Exxon Valdez spills. If you get those feathers all oily. **Chip** (00:13:18:06 - 00:13:20:09): Yeah. You do. You need some Don that baby. **Thomas** (00:13:20:09 - 00:13:21:23): Yeah. So, you know, you're kind of in there. You're like, I wish I had more pax than whatever is happening here. Maybe I should. Have done steroids for the last two years. Trying to fill it out. **Chip** (00:13:29:07 - 00:13:30:04): Could have been a good idea. 00:13:30:05 – 00:13:30:21 UNRESOLVED – But then you look. **Thomas** (00:13:30:21 - 00:13:36:04): Down to the feet, and that's where the real flaw in these costumes come. Because, like, a real pair of. Wrestling boots is going. To be, I don't know, $50,000. I'm terrible at guessing maybe $50,000, I think. **Chip** (00:13:42:08 - 00:13:44:17): I think that's that's correct. $50,000 for a pair. **Thomas** (00:13:44:17 - 00:13:46:20): So what they give you when you buy a. $30 wrestling costume. It's like kind of shoe covers. **Chip** (00:13:51:11 - 00:13:54:09): Yeah. Where they sort of like spats over top of them. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:13:54:09 - 00:13:57:17): Just kind of wrap around your leg and lace up in the back. It's not I mean, it it. Always that's the weak link in these costumes anyways. Great costume. **Chip** (00:14:03:13 - 00:14:05:08): Besides your horrific body. **Thomas** (00:14:05:10 - 00:14:07:13): Yes. Besides the blob. Body, in spandex around all your friends and people who have also put, you know, time into looking good, potentially, or trying to impress people. I was there. With my wife. We just watched the show Glow. Do you ever see Glow Chip? **Chip** (00:14:21:00 - 00:14:23:01): I have Marc Maron. **Thomas** (00:14:23:01 - 00:14:23:14): That was her. Gateway into my gateway into wrestling was a whole childhood of watching at meta. Her gateway. Was the show. Glow. So she dressed up as Liberty Bell. Perfect, one of the characters from the show. She looked great. I looks like an idiot. We go to this party, we. You know, I just cut loose for the first time. And 30 or. 31 days, whatever it was. And then we leave that party. It was in Burbank. We drove all the way back from Burbank to to the part of la I live in, which is, I don't know, I'm terrible at Guesstimating probably took five, six hours. Yes. Went to bed, woke up at five in the morning and took the 7:00 flight to Honolulu, Hawaii. And, that's where. I mean, like, I had been so overworked, so stressed. And then I just got to go this place where there was no work. There was no stress. And it was just almost it felt like a fictional place to be. **Chip** (00:15:15:18 - 00:15:23:12): I just picture you just sitting in that chair, like in your seat on the plane. 00:15:23:14 – 00:15:24:11 UNRESOLVED – Yep. Big thing. Orange juice, big smile on your face. Full breath. A Hitman Hart outfit. **Thomas** (00:15:31:21 - 00:15:33:05): Yeah, I didn't change. **Chip** (00:15:33:07 - 00:15:46:20): You didn't change. Right. Yeah. So you just you just rode. You rode that plane as Red, the Hitman Hart all the way across the Pacific Ocean. Smile ear to ear. When I think of Hawaii, that's what I'm going to think of from now on. **Thomas** (00:15:46:20 - 00:15:47:13): You should. But I will tell you, buddy, And not to oversell it, but what I found there was so much more than I could have ever imagined when I was on that flight over there the first time. **Chip** (00:15:58:21 - 00:15:59:13): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:15:59:15 - 00:16:10:18): In terms of the, you know, it's not just Hawaii. Hawaii is great. Hawaii is an amazing place. This can happen anywhere. But, like, I just didn't know what it was like to truly relax and be on vacation. **Chip** (00:16:10:18 - 00:16:14:21): You got to take the full lumberjack outfit off, is what you're saying? Yeah. **Thomas** (00:16:14:22 - 00:16:17:14): You take both shirts off? Yeah. Both costumes reveal your true self. Splash around in the water. Have we lost everybody I hope. **Chip** (00:16:26:17 - 00:16:32:23): I hope it's just the two of us right now. Oh if you are that third there is one person watching and listening right now. **Thomas** (00:16:32:23 - 00:16:34:05): Yeah. If you're still watching we're. **Chip** (00:16:34:05 - 00:16:49:06): Talking directly to you. But listen. But we're talking to you. You should drop everything. Yes. Just the three of us right here. It's just me, Thomas. It's just. You're just watch it. You're sitting alone, watching a video of two Grant grown men dressed as lumberjacks on vacation. **Thomas** (00:16:49:06 - 00:16:50:10): On vacation? **Chip** (00:16:50:11 - 00:16:54:18): Come to Hawaii with us this November. We're ready to. Go. Can you hold on a second? Yes. **Thomas** (00:16:58:02 - 00:16:59:14): Timber. **Chip** (00:16:59:16 - 00:17:00:05): There it is. **Thomas** (00:17:00:06 - 00:17:00:18): All right, there we go. **Chip** (00:17:00:18 - 00:17:26:08): There it is. By the way, you know what I was thinking about? The downfall of your Halloween costume, which was a big WWF fan back in the day. I still called WWF because, yeah, I was a fan before they changed it. Before they changed it to the E! Yes, exactly. But you know, a lot of times we go with these aspirational Halloween costumes. Yeah, of a superhero or a professional wrestler where they are these jacked, you know, gorgeous specimen of human beings. Right. And then we put our dumpy selves in the costume. Let's make a new trend. **Thomas** (00:17:43:13 - 00:17:44:16): Yeah. **Chip** (00:17:44:18 - 00:17:53:13): Go for really dumpy looking people. And then you look like a more like, you know, like a cooler version of that. **Thomas** (00:17:53:15 - 00:17:55:22): Yeah. Like I could be a can. Recycler on vacation. **Chip** (00:17:57:18 - 00:18:09:08): Right. Or like what if I just got like a walker. Right. And I'm just walking with a walker and they're like who are you. I'm like oh I'm Harvey Weinstein and you're like, oh you look great. You look great for Harvey Weinstein. **Thomas** (00:18:09:09 - 00:18:10:13): You're actually behaving. Really nicely for her. **Chip** (00:18:11:20 - 00:18:23:23): You're behaving very nicely. You don't have a devious smile and you're looking slim. You're looking, young and hip. You know, I'm a young, hip Harvey Weinstein. **Thomas** (00:18:24:00 - 00:18:24:11): Yeah. And that's when the deals start rolling in. Chip. Is this how we hash Hollywood? **Chip** (00:18:30:06 - 00:18:43:22): I think I think all we need is we just. We just need two walkers and a little pizazz is is all we need. And, we're going to run this town. And, you know, by this town, I mean Omaha, Nebraska. **Thomas** (00:18:44:00 - 00:18:52:04): Shout out Omaha. Shout out great American comedy festival. Yeah. Is it true that you are considering. Professionally changing your name to Chipewyan Stan? **Chip** (00:18:55:14 - 00:19:09:06): Yeah, I was I was thinking about it. And, you know, I think there might be a little overlap there. I will say, I am I did just open a production house. 00:19:09:08 – 00:19:10:10 UNRESOLVED – Okay? It's called Miralax. **Thomas** (00:19:12:06 - 00:19:13:09): Miralax. **Chip** (00:19:13:11 - 00:19:15:21): Yeah. So instead of Miramax. **Thomas** (00:19:16:01 - 00:19:16:16): Yeah. **Chip** (00:19:16:18 - 00:19:19:23): It's Miramax, but it's the movies come out a little more regular. **Thomas** (00:19:20:03 - 00:19:20:19): Yeah, it's. Just it's a normal. Production company with a little more fiber. **Chip** (00:19:24:04 - 00:19:27:00): Exactly. That's all it is. **Thomas** (00:19:27:02 - 00:19:28:09): Oh, man. Vicky. **Chip** (00:19:28:09 - 00:19:37:11): Oh I'm sorry. Can you hold a second. Yes. Well it's like Tim. See we're. Yeah, we're getting in the, we're getting into the spirit of the holiday. **Thomas** (00:19:37:11 - 00:19:42:11): You know, it's like as a lumberjack when you hear timber don't you just go catching the. **Chip** (00:19:42:11 - 00:19:43:09): Yes. Boom boom boom boom. Love that money party. There it is. That's that's what money. And, also, are we going to do it since we are lumberjacks? Are we coming out anti. Yeah we are. Yeah. We're done. We're done with the owls. Do you want to turn your turn your head all the way around. Now somewhere else. **Thomas** (00:20:01:23 - 00:20:05:02): You want to eat field mice. And then leave. Little. Pellets around with their bones. **Chip** (00:20:08:00 - 00:20:11:23): Stay up all night while we're trying to get some sleep because we've got to work. But, Go to work by and by work, I mean cut down your habitat. Yeah. We don't need any of your crap owls. **Thomas** (00:20:19:07 - 00:20:20:00): I can't relate. To owls in the sense that I do stay up late at night. And ask a. Lot of nebulous questions. You know what I mean? **Chip** (00:20:27:23 - 00:20:42:18): Yeah. Ooh, I bite into a lot of Tootsie pops. Oh, and I will say, I, I will say, unlike an owl, I definitely am known for littering in the forest. I do a lot of littering. What about there? **Thomas** (00:20:42:19 - 00:20:43:10): This is just. Open the. Floodgates. **Chip** (00:20:44:22 - 00:20:49:07): And there's one person listening that right now, he still I can think I can see him. He's still watching. **Thomas** (00:20:49:07 - 00:20:53:09): If you're still watching, leave a comment. Let us know. I out here. **Chip** (00:20:53:14 - 00:20:59:05): Okay. I'm that I am the one. I am that one guy. Yeah. That that that is watching right now. Well, we'd love to hear from you. We'd also like to hear what you're going. **Thomas** (00:21:02:12 - 00:21:04:00): To be for Halloween. **Chip** (00:21:04:02 - 00:21:07:17): Yeah. We want to know what you're going to be for Halloween. What's your favorite candy? Ooh. **Thomas** (00:21:07:18 - 00:21:10:00): What's your favorite candy chip? That's a great one. **Chip** (00:21:10:02 - 00:21:18:01): You know, I'll never turn down a Kit-Kat like when we're talking about, like, Halloween candy. Yeah, a Kit Kat. Always decent. How about you? **Thomas** (00:21:18:03 - 00:21:21:08): I, I let's let's be honest. I like all of them. **Chip** (00:21:21:10 - 00:21:22:11): Yeah. Oh, as do I. **Thomas** (00:21:22:12 - 00:21:24:00): I like all of them. Maybe not some. Of the fruity stuff. Like, I'll. Take a Skittles. 00:21:27:00 – 00:21:28:16 UNRESOLVED – I'll take a, Starburst. But what? I do not mess like a Red vines in the context. Of actual. Halloween candy going on. I'm like, get. Them out of. Here. **Chip** (00:21:39:01 - 00:21:46:17): And this is the difference. And I think it's the mighty Mississippi that, divides us. But, I would say, say, think about same thing about Twizzlers. **Thomas** (00:21:46:19 - 00:21:47:12): Oh, yeah. **Chip** (00:21:47:12 - 00:21:52:09): Yeah, I do enjoy a good Twizzler, but not in those little packs that you get on Halloween. **Thomas** (00:21:52:09 - 00:21:54:18): No, but my, my favorite, my go to. A really all times of the year best candy of all time. Probably Reese's peanut butter cup. **Chip** (00:21:59:18 - 00:22:03:12): You can't. It's tough to argue. Reese's peanut butter cups. Do you have. **Thomas** (00:22:03:12 - 00:22:08:01): Salt and straws? Do you have salt and straws? And, the ice cream chain. **Chip** (00:22:08:03 - 00:22:10:18): Are you making. Are you making words up right now? Thomas? **Thomas** (00:22:10:18 - 00:22:12:13): No. Salt and straw is a. Ice cream chain. It's based out of Portland, Oregon, I believe. Okay. And, they are known for having unique seasonal. Flavors every month. They they bring out 4 or 5 new ones. Sometimes there's some can't miss baddies. A lot of. Time there's, in my opinion, some real acquired taste. So let's say you're. Not. **Chip** (00:22:33:03 - 00:22:34:20): For me. But when. 00:22:34:20 – 00:22:35:18 UNRESOLVED – It comes to. 00:22:35:18 – 00:22:36:17 UNRESOLVED – October. **Thomas** (00:22:36:17 - 00:22:37:20): They have this flavor. Called the. Great Candy Copia that is like I think it's like eight different, homemade. Versions of popular Halloween. Candy, and they just mix it. It's got so many fixins. **Chip** (00:22:53:11 - 00:22:54:11): Yeah. Since I no idea that we're gonna have so many fixins since it's got in. There, basically just taking every Halloween candy and mushing it together. **Thomas** (00:23:02:22 - 00:23:05:13): And pushing it together in a vanilla ice. Cream base. It is so good and it sounds delicious. It is so good. I even saw. Neil Brennan talked about it one time. Seems to be crazy. 00:23:13:01 – 00:23:13:12 UNRESOLVED – Obsessed. With fitness and his weight and all this stuff. And he had you can only get in October and he has his assistant. **Chip** (00:23:19:05 - 00:23:32:16): Go and get enough candy Copia for the whole year in October. And he posted a picture on Instagram with at one time, it was the first time I ever felt like I could relate to anything with that guy, because he has achieved a much higher level of comedy. **Thomas** (00:23:32:21 - 00:23:34:13): And success in the television field. **Chip** (00:23:34:13 - 00:23:54:00): You lost me with assistant, so yeah, it's hard to relate to, but now I can. Now I can relate to him. Yeah. Can you imagine having an assistant like, I don't even know what I would do with. I feel like my sis would just sit and stare at me all day and I'd be there. I, I don't know, go, go grab me some, go get a stapler I like, I don't know, I don't know what I would have them do. **Thomas** (00:23:54:02 - 00:23:56:08): Yeah. Like, hopefully if you have one, you. Got, you got enough stuff to keep them busy. **Chip** (00:23:58:12 - 00:24:06:15): Yeah. Yeah. If and if you are that one viewer right now and you want to be my assistant, just put your resume in the comments. **Thomas** (00:24:06:17 - 00:24:11:05): Yeah. It's tough times out there because I think, you know, it used to be normal. Everybody in Hollywood had assistants, and I. Just think that time. It's up for the the. Highest. **Chip** (00:24:18:09 - 00:24:20:06): Of the highest has, **Thomas** (00:24:20:08 - 00:24:23:12): Has passed. And that's kind of how your foot in the door. **Chip** (00:24:23:12 - 00:24:34:17): Dude, maybe that's the new thing. Like in the 80s, the every sitcom had, like, a middle class family, had a live in maid or butler. **Thomas** (00:24:34:19 - 00:24:36:16): That's true, Mr. Belvedere. **Chip** (00:24:36:17 - 00:25:01:07): Charles in charge. Who's the boss? Right. You know, they just. Yeah. You know, and so they just it's like these people can't afford this, but then they just have it. I think it's I think it's time to have a sitcom. It's just a regular family. Okay, listen. Okay, Ray, your family, husband, wife, son, daughter, dog. And each one of the five of them, including the dog, has an assistant. So there's really roughly ten or so cast members. **Thomas** (00:25:04:08 - 00:25:04:20): Yeah, it's. **Chip** (00:25:04:20 - 00:25:08:18): Each of the main family members, and then they each have assistants doing things for them. **Thomas** (00:25:08:18 - 00:25:09:12): I think that might be. Where we're heading. Yeah, right. Like I everything's coming up. What jobs are there going to be except to just serve the wealthiest of the wealthy? **Chip** (00:25:18:09 - 00:25:37:10): It's like, do we get in on that trend? Like, are we we're trying to really get in on this podcast trend and the vacation trend. It's like, maybe it's like, maybe we should, let's just like, let's just a shoe, this lumberjack vibe, put on a tuxedo with tails and become the best butlers we can. **Thomas** (00:25:37:15 - 00:25:38:18): Premium butlers. **Chip** (00:25:38:18 - 00:26:07:14): So I speak to which, my good friend Greg Gethard and I, he turned me on many years ago to a forum that he found online called, I believe it was called Modern butler.com or Modern Butlers. And we used to create and it was for literal butlers to like, share their experiences with each other and talk and have questions and just, you know, really just talk shop about bottling. And we would create profiles and just write the craziest stuff that we were doing as butlers. And we got kicked out of that forum so many times. So many times. **Thomas** (00:26:22:13 - 00:26:25:18): Chip, this is why you gotta put it behind a paywall. **Chip** (00:26:25:20 - 00:26:26:19): You really do. **Thomas** (00:26:26:19 - 00:26:30:13): Because knuckleheads like you aren't going to pay even, let's say. 00:26:30:15 – 00:26:33:03 UNRESOLVED – $1.99 a month. **Chip** (00:26:33:05 - 00:26:35:00): Yeah, you get a couple dollar. **Thomas** (00:26:35:00 - 00:26:39:17): 99 a month. Memberships revoked. Yeah. Chip is, calling it quits. **Chip** (00:26:39:17 - 00:26:40:13): Exactly. **Thomas** (00:26:40:13 - 00:26:42:14): I know of Greg. I don't know, Greg, but I. Have to imagine he's calling it quits, too. If it starts to cost money. **Chip** (00:26:45:17 - 00:26:46:21): The paywall is the answer. **Thomas** (00:26:46:21 - 00:26:48:11): Butler's. If you're trying to. Have an internet community and you want to keep the knuckleheads. **Chip** (00:26:50:22 - 00:26:54:04): Out paywall, it doesn't have to be a lot. Speaking of a lot, we've a lot to take care of, Thomas. **Thomas** (00:26:57:09 - 00:26:59:08): We have a lot to take care of. I realized we didn't do a. Rundown at the top of the episode. **Chip** (00:27:01:09 - 00:27:02:23): Let's let's run it down right now. **Thomas** (00:27:03:00 - 00:27:03:12): Today on. The Sunbury podcast, we are talking about. Haunted vacation destinations. Ship. It's spooky season. This is the Halloween episode and we are talking about real haunted places. If that's the thing that you believe in. Real haunted places that you yourself can stay in on a trippy trip trip. We're going to be talking about the Guinness Book of World Records. We each got some facts from the Good Book. We've got vacation rules, and then we're going to top it all off with a candy coated buffet. Fact. **Chip** (00:27:36:21 - 00:27:38:06): Drop it in that bag. **Thomas** (00:27:38:06 - 00:27:41:03): Oh, yeah. Hold out your hold out your case. We're going to drop a vacation. A rule and a record right there in that sack. **Chip** (00:27:47:09 - 00:27:49:10): Boom boom boom. I got a. **Thomas** (00:27:49:10 - 00:28:05:01): Rock, dude. Let's get into it. Let's get into the haunted vacation destinations. It's spooky season. I'm going to be honest, I have not done that much research into this specific topic because I couldn't. Start until last night. I've had the most insanely busy week. **Chip** (00:28:08:04 - 00:28:09:01): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:28:09:03 - 00:28:11:16): And it got a little too spooky for me. **Chip** (00:28:11:18 - 00:28:14:11): That's what I'm here doing. Oh, I know. I am your haunted travel agent right now. You're to ooh to oh, okay. Haunted travel. 00:28:21:07 – 00:28:21:20 UNRESOLVED – Agent. **Thomas** (00:28:21:22 - 00:28:24:11): Maybe we should start that agency. **Chip** (00:28:24:13 - 00:28:42:22): We're the spookiest vehicles in the world. Now, I just there, there's a there's a lot of really great ones. You can pick like towns in general. You could go to their spooky. Okay. To that I've been to in recent years that I would highly recommend. And I would love to get back to you ASAP. Number one, I was just there, two, three months ago. I was in Salem, Massachusetts. **Thomas** (00:28:45:07 - 00:28:46:04): Oh, yeah. **Chip** (00:28:46:05 - 00:29:13:22): Halloweentown. Setting of my. This is ridiculous. Maybe my favorite Halloween movie. Hubie Halloween, the Adam Sandler movie. I love it so much. And it's, just a spooky, fun place. That great history and just beautiful architecture and, just it's it's it just puts you I it was it was the end of August. Beginning of. Yeah. Was the end of August, I guess. And we, we were in the holiday spirit. In the Halloween spirit. So. Yeah. Salem. Salem, mass. So I'll just throw that one out there. **Thomas** (00:29:21:11 - 00:29:25:04): Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say one of the things you love. So much about Salem, Massachusetts. Is it's a place that. Historically. Has put women where they belong. Isn't that something you said? **Chip** (00:29:35:00 - 00:29:36:15): I believe that was off the record, Thomas. 00:29:36:15 – 00:29:37:17 UNRESOLVED – Off the record. **Thomas** (00:29:37:19 - 00:29:40:20): Okay. Yeah, yeah, it's something Chip said. Off the record. **Chip** (00:29:40:20 - 00:29:42:09): I said something set off the record. **Thomas** (00:29:42:09 - 00:29:42:21): For the record. **Chip** (00:29:42:21 - 00:30:03:07): That, Yes, they were put in their place. And, Boy, in all honesty, what a what a sham. Like like I knew the witch. I just thought these people were kind of dumb. Do you know what I mean? And, like, they're just like, oh, there's witches. And it was like, oh, no, this was all a big sham and a shakedown. It's what it's wild. What a shakedown that was. **Thomas** (00:30:06:05 - 00:30:06:19): Some people say. It's a sham. Wow. **Chip** (00:30:08:11 - 00:30:18:15): It's a sham. Wow is what it was. That's how much they were picking up those witches. It was. It was crazy. So I highly recommend Salem. And then let's go to a little down south, a little down below. **Thomas** (00:30:18:15 - 00:30:19:07): You know, I love to. Go down south, to. **Chip** (00:30:20:05 - 00:30:22:21): Love going down south, where it's. **Thomas** (00:30:22:22 - 00:30:23:09): All on one. 00:30:23:09 – 00:30:24:07 UNRESOLVED – Side. **Chip** (00:30:24:09 - 00:30:26:21): Timber, timber. **Thomas** (00:30:26:22 - 00:30:29:15): Oh, gosh. It's going to be a big payday today. **Chip** (00:30:29:15 - 00:30:32:09): Maybe we're going down to Savannah, Georgia. **Thomas** (00:30:32:10 - 00:30:32:21): Spooky. **Chip** (00:30:32:21 - 00:30:40:19): Steve's dude. Spooky. Steve's. We, my wife and I on the honeymoon, we did the spooky. Steve's the, hearse. **Thomas** (00:30:40:21 - 00:30:43:20): Oh, shoot. Steve, I didn't know it's going to be so spooky. **Chip** (00:30:43:21 - 00:30:57:12): It's going to be some spooky is, I guess, what? My name is Gloria. And, so just two great towns right there that that came up on a lot of lists. I did some more specific things, but I just want to give a shout out to those two towns right there. We love. **Thomas** (00:30:57:12 - 00:30:57:15): You. Salem. We love you, Savannah. This episode's been. Brought to you by. Travel PD. Is letter S. **Chip** (00:31:07:06 - 00:31:10:17): It really is mad if you want to go to Stockton, California. If you want. 00:31:10:17 – 00:31:10:23 UNRESOLVED – To go to. **Thomas** (00:31:10:23 - 00:31:13:05): Springfield where the Simpsons live. **Chip** (00:31:13:05 - 00:31:15:20): Do you to go to Canada? Up to Saskatchewan? **Thomas** (00:31:15:20 - 00:31:16:15): Saskatchewan. **Chip** (00:31:16:15 - 00:31:32:09): Okay. Thomas. Yeah, I found a couple of locations, houses or rental spaces that you can actually rent that are either haunted, you know, allegedly, or come from a very famous, haunting movie. Okay. **Thomas** (00:31:32:09 - 00:31:32:18): Okay. **Chip** (00:31:32:22 - 00:31:52:16): So let's start with this one. If you wanted to take I know you've been talking about you bringing the missus out, having a nice vacation, taking the missus out. You're like, what, are we going to go this year? I know we talk about tropical travel on this vacation, but let's say you wanted to make a vacation. Just southeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. **Thomas** (00:31:52:18 - 00:31:53:18): Okay. **Chip** (00:31:53:20 - 00:31:54:23): I know you've been talking about it. **Thomas** (00:31:55:02 - 00:31:59:12): Yeah. I'm like, I want to see where Carnegie put the sludge. **Chip** (00:31:59:14 - 00:32:14:01): Yes, exactly. You can also, as you're doing that, instead of staying in one of their many five star hotels. Yeah, you could rent out Buffalo Bill's house from silence of the lambs. **Thomas** (00:32:14:03 - 00:32:14:17): Really? **Chip** (00:32:14:18 - 00:32:21:02): Buffalo Bill, that's where they shot it. It's his house with, well, in the basement. **Thomas** (00:32:21:05 - 00:32:22:14): Well, at the base, he. **Chip** (00:32:22:16 - 00:32:26:04): The little his his little shop where he made his, **Thomas** (00:32:26:06 - 00:32:27:15): His little outfits. **Chip** (00:32:27:17 - 00:32:47:20): His little his little outfits. Yeah. He's quite a little tailor. So, yeah. So you can check that out. There's apparently an interactive, well, film set. There's his interactive workshop and, you but you can, you can visit, and I believe you can also stay there. I mean, imagine hanging out in Buffalo Bill's house. Silence of the lambs style. Your your little Jodie Foster without your night vision goggles, and you're just. I would have, I would assume. I don't know this for a fact. I didn't see it on the website. Yeah, but I would assume that you could for a little extra money, go down into the basement. **Thomas** (00:33:05:14 - 00:33:06:06): Yeah. **Chip** (00:33:06:08 - 00:33:29:13): Have them turn off all the lights. Yeah. And you don't have any assistance, but you are just wildly brandishing a service revolver. I think they would let you do that for, like, where you just hear, you know, breathing and you're just in the dark, scared, just waving a revolver around. I think that you would. I think they would allow that. Yeah. I mean, you're going to have to pay a little extra. 00:33:32:02 – 00:33:33:11 UNRESOLVED – It's an add on. **Thomas** (00:33:33:13 - 00:33:35:06): But yep. I also think this shines. A light on just what a good. Person you are. Yeah. Because in your fantasy. You're at Buffalo Bill's. House and you're a little Jodie Foster. **Chip** (00:33:45:06 - 00:33:46:02): Right? See, I. **Thomas** (00:33:46:02 - 00:33:53:06): Think a lot of people, including myself, is like, oh, I'm going to Bill's house. I'm Bill. Yeah, I'm going to do a couple of dances. **Chip** (00:33:53:06 - 00:33:55:12): I'm wearing just a robe. Yeah. And I'm going to show the world that in just a minute. **Thomas** (00:33:58:09 - 00:34:01:01): Yeah, I'm going to experiment with some lotions. **Chip** (00:34:01:01 - 00:34:10:04): Oh, and that's actually one of the things like you get if you stay there, or you can purchase or I think they give to you are little bottles of their own lotion. **Thomas** (00:34:10:06 - 00:34:11:05): Oh, really? **Chip** (00:34:11:10 - 00:34:12:10): How great is it? **Thomas** (00:34:12:12 - 00:34:13:13): Does it have a fun name? **Chip** (00:34:13:16 - 00:34:16:23): I think it's just like Buffalo Bills lotion or something like that. **Thomas** (00:34:17:01 - 00:34:17:19): Buffalo bills. **Chip** (00:34:17:19 - 00:34:24:18): Lotion. Maybe we could, spitball that and send it over. Maybe we can Don Draper some Buffalo Bill lotion. **Thomas** (00:34:24:18 - 00:34:27:06): Confinement power. **Chip** (00:34:27:07 - 00:34:29:14): Ooh. Oh. That's good. 00:34:29:16 – 00:34:31:05 UNRESOLVED – That's really. Or just maybe we just call it precious because I think that was the name of his, his little, his poodle. I think. **Thomas** (00:34:38:18 - 00:34:39:06): It's called. Precious. **Chip** (00:34:40:03 - 00:34:43:10): C. **Thomas** (00:34:43:12 - 00:34:45:22): But it's really about domination. **Chip** (00:34:46:00 - 00:34:48:13): You're you're just Don Draper. Ring it perfectly. Thomas Downey De, baby. **Thomas** (00:34:50:20 - 00:34:55:22): Yeah. That guy, like, he's done it. We've talked about it a lot of times, but just how far. Handsome goes in any context. **Chip** (00:34:58:06 - 00:35:00:17): Are we talking about Buffalo Bill or are we talking about Don Draper? **Thomas** (00:35:00:17 - 00:35:02:09): I'm talking about both. 00:35:02:11 – 00:35:03:02 UNRESOLVED – Okay. I think they. Were both, magnetic. Figures that could bend people out. Of their own. Well. You know. Yeah. **Chip** (00:35:11:17 - 00:35:17:23): They had some some powers. Buffalo Bill was more of a smash and grab type of guy, but, **Thomas** (00:35:18:01 - 00:35:21:12): Donny D, he could get physical if he needed to, but it was. It was all up here, baby. **Chip** (00:35:22:23 - 00:35:28:12): It was all suave. It was all just. Just suave. Just a just just a looker. **Thomas** (00:35:28:14 - 00:35:31:05): What, delicious drink of water. **Chip** (00:35:31:05 - 00:35:34:14): Speaking of lookers, do you wanna hear this next location you can go to? **Thomas** (00:35:34:16 - 00:35:36:06): All right, let's hear it. So, Buffalo. Bills, that's right outside of Pittsburgh. **Chip** (00:35:38:03 - 00:35:43:00): Pittsburgh. Keep it comin, dude. I and I like Buffalo Bills because it's not haunted per se. Right? It's the film said it's a. **Thomas** (00:35:45:02 - 00:35:48:18): Film set of a creepy dude who was just kind of. I'm gonna say a bad actor. Not the performance. No, that's Bill himself. Acting inappropriate guy. **Chip** (00:35:57:02 - 00:36:04:20): No, no, we wouldn't call him one of the good ones. No speaking. One of the good ones. Let's go down south now. **Thomas** (00:36:04:21 - 00:36:06:17): I love it down south. **Chip** (00:36:06:17 - 00:36:18:22): Yeah. To. I believe it's Bastrop, Texas. I I'm going to I don't know if I'm saying that. Right. About 30 miles outside of Austin. Okay. You would take a guess what this location might be. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:36:19:00 - 00:36:20:01): Oh, well, I think. I mean. 00:36:21:17 – 00:36:22:12 UNRESOLVED – I. I hope it is one of the locations Toby Hooper used. **Chip** (00:36:29:11 - 00:36:51:19): It is the gas station from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The last stop, the last Chance gas station. And, you can go there. The gas station apparently still operational. Apparently they still serve great barbecue and sausages. Really? Go for it. Like, apparently they are delicious. **Thomas** (00:36:51:21 - 00:36:53:11): I'm not. I'm not eating. A ground meat there. That's just something I don't think I'm going to be doing. **Chip** (00:36:58:01 - 00:37:09:17): I that's that's that's the day you become vegan. We'll take it. And then there are also they apparently have these four cabins like out back that you can actually rent and stay the night at. **Thomas** (00:37:09:21 - 00:37:10:10): Okay. **Chip** (00:37:10:11 - 00:37:19:17): Texas Chainsaw Massacre is my favorite horror movie. Yeah, I don't consider jaws is my favorite movie. I don't consider I don't actually consider that a horror movie. We're going to call that something else. But when like pure horror. **Thomas** (00:37:19:18 - 00:37:20:09): Yeah. **Chip** (00:37:20:11 - 00:37:33:23): Texas Chainsaw Massacre just the, the the isolation that that first of all, that that house that, that gas station just emits of just like you're literally in the middle of nowhere. **Thomas** (00:37:34:00 - 00:37:34:11): Yeah. **Chip** (00:37:34:11 - 00:37:55:09): These people are up to no good. They're no, they're ne'er do wells no good. It's part of my language. But they're ne'er do wells. They're up to no good. And there's really no getting out. There's no gas. You're not getting out of town. And, And that's what makes it so horrific. So, Yeah. So let's head down South Thomas to the gas station, from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I think that's. **Thomas** (00:37:55:20 - 00:37:58:15): A fun one. And also, once again, it's it's not supernatural. **Chip** (00:37:58:15 - 00:38:00:07): It's just natural. It's just. **Thomas** (00:38:00:07 - 00:38:00:19): Natural. It's very, very natural. **Chip** (00:38:02:02 - 00:38:04:03): Okay, I'm going to go supernatural now. **Thomas** (00:38:04:05 - 00:38:05:14): Okay. **Chip** (00:38:05:16 - 00:38:22:07): I have one more movie, and then I have one other, location that I want to talk about. So we've got two more. This might be my favorite movie. One, although the gas station one is pretty good, I think some someday, Thomas, you and I and a couple of friends get the. Get the gas together. Get some friends together. Yep. If you want to spend $600 a night. **Thomas** (00:38:25:19 - 00:38:26:22): I often do. Okay. **Chip** (00:38:26:22 - 00:38:32:11): By the way. Oh, the gas station one. Apparently, those cabins, they start at about 130 a night, so that's not bad for it. **Thomas** (00:38:32:12 - 00:38:39:14): That's a deal, dude. Steal of a deal. That's a nice little deal. And I mean, what kind of things would you do in there, chap? **Chip** (00:38:39:14 - 00:38:43:15): I would just go for a little hikes. Like I would just hike around, try to find that that old house. 00:38:43:18 – 00:38:44:13 UNRESOLVED – And just invite myself in and then get murdered. So I'm looking for the full experience I think just, you know, just letting a. Chainsaw wrap in the middle of the night, I think that could be fun. If you've got some neighbors really help, inspire, the experience for the other. **Thomas** (00:39:02:16 - 00:39:03:13): People staying there. **Chip** (00:39:03:14 - 00:39:28:02): Exactly, exactly. So here's the thing. Maybe we want those neighbors all together. Okay, get a couple of us, throw in 600 bucks a night. But you get to rent an entire house. Listen, I just it's not just any house, Thomas. We're heading out your way. We're going to go up to Simi Valley. **Thomas** (00:39:28:04 - 00:39:29:14): Oh, okay. **Chip** (00:39:29:16 - 00:39:31:00): Are you familiar with Simi Valley? **Thomas** (00:39:31:00 - 00:39:34:20): I'm very familiar with Simi Valley. It's, right on the edge of what they call. The 30 mile zone, I believe. Oh. **Chip** (00:39:38:05 - 00:39:40:05): And that's just the 30 miles outside of Los Angeles. Is 30 miles outside of Los Angeles. I think I could be totally wrong about this and thinking about something else. **Thomas** (00:39:44:13 - 00:39:46:02): But if you are. Within 30 miles of Los Angeles, oftentimes you do not have to provide, hotel rooms or any accommodations for, certain cast and crew members. **Chip** (00:39:58:01 - 00:40:09:15): Okay, I see, but if they're coming from further out that you'd have to get them, I got you. Well, you wouldn't have to provide any housing for this because they got their own house. This is the poltergeist house, Thomas. **Thomas** (00:40:09:15 - 00:40:11:18): Oh, my gosh, come on. **Chip** (00:40:11:20 - 00:40:28:17): Just that neighborhood and the house. I mean, the house is there, which I don't understand. The house is there, even though I did see it in the movie completely evaporate. It went away, it disappeared. It got sucked into the ground. But apparently they got it back somehow. **Thomas** (00:40:28:18 - 00:40:30:00): Might have been a little movie. Magic where after a house disappears, you can sprinkle a little. Movie magic and things. Will show. **Chip** (00:40:35:13 - 00:40:51:18): Back up, and you can and they have like, somebody a couple years ago bought it and like, turned it like really went back to the feel for Poltergeist. And so, you know, the living rooms like that, you can go into that room where like they all the toys are flying around and all that stuff. I don't believe there's going to be toys flying around. Thomas. I don't want to sell a bill of goods. Yeah, that isn't there. But you can go in that room and it has that feel. So, and, little Zelda Rubinstein is will no longer be there, unfortunately, to tell you that this house is clear, but, all the other trappings are there. That's that's one of my another one of my favorite, one of my favorite horror movies and, 600 bucks a night for a whole house. You get a couple people in there? Yeah. Split it up. That's bad at all. **Thomas** (00:41:20:11 - 00:41:25:13): That's very doable. That's like, you know, a bachelor party to Simi Valley. Can you imagine? **Chip** (00:41:25:13 - 00:41:26:14): Oh, okay. Now, A bunch of, bunch of the boys getting together and a little poltergeist. 00:41:30:07 – 00:41:30:23 UNRESOLVED – House. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:41:31:20 - 00:41:37:11): I mean, that's fun stuff, dude. Did you. I, I don't know if this is a rumor or not. Did you hear. Matt Rife. Bought the Warrens house from the conjuring series? **Chip** (00:41:42:13 - 00:41:43:18): I did hear that. Yes. **Thomas** (00:41:43:18 - 00:41:44:19): I'm excited that he's. Using his funds for stuff like that. **Chip** (00:41:46:23 - 00:41:47:15): For good. **Thomas** (00:41:47:16 - 00:41:51:10): But just for his own good. He's buying things that are. Interesting, not. **Chip** (00:41:52:15 - 00:41:56:18): Boring. It's a life well-lived. **Thomas** (00:41:56:20 - 00:42:01:14): Oh, man. I just hope that guy can find some crowd work. So it's tough out there. **Chip** (00:42:01:16 - 00:42:28:13): He needs to get some work with the crowd. So, by the way, I was obsessed with. And I was a little disappointed to find out in later years that it wasn't the same neighborhood, but it's just, you know, suburban Los Angeles, I guess you would call it the 30 mile zone that both Steven Spielberg joints, but in the same roughly the same year, maybe the same year, but E.T. the movie, E.T. and Poltergeist, it felt like it was the same neighborhood. **Thomas** (00:42:28:14 - 00:42:29:18): Oh, yeah, I can see that. **Chip** (00:42:29:18 - 00:42:47:04): That same feel of house kind of up on the hill. Yeah. You know, you kind of know you're in Los Angeles, but you're also like, out on the outskirts. But I believe if I looked it up, the I think it's there about like 30 miles apart. So the poltergeist houses in Simi Valley, the E.T. house, which I don't believe you can rent or anything like that. Yeah. But that's into hunger. Is. Am I saying that right? Is that do you know Tujunga, which is further east? I believe. **Thomas** (00:42:53:19 - 00:42:55:04): So. Hungers a little more east. Yeah, it's I. I believe it's not. As far north as. Simi Valley. **Chip** (00:43:00:05 - 00:43:01:14): Perhaps I don't I don't believe it is. 00:43:01:14 – 00:43:02:23 UNRESOLVED – Now, Tujunga kind of. **Thomas** (00:43:02:23 - 00:43:07:16): Backs right up to Burbank. It's like, kind of right on the other side of the. If you see. **Chip** (00:43:07:16 - 00:43:08:21): The mountain. **Thomas** (00:43:08:23 - 00:43:11:19): Looking, east at Burbank, it's kind of right on the other. **Chip** (00:43:11:19 - 00:43:12:22): Side, on the backside. **Thomas** (00:43:12:22 - 00:43:13:13): Of that mountain. **Chip** (00:43:13:13 - 00:43:32:06): There. Perfect. Okay, so that's. Yes, that's where apparently the Etsy's. All right. So, then this last one here also in your neck of the woods. Thomas, look further south, though, okay. You wanna take a guess where this is? This is not movie related, necessarily, but it is very, very haunted. I mean, it's not it's not exactly a house. **Thomas** (00:43:32:08 - 00:43:35:10): No. Okay. So is it something we've talked about on the podcast before? **Chip** (00:43:35:10 - 00:43:36:20): I think we've mentioned it. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:43:36:22 - 00:43:39:10): That you've been to the Queen Mary. **Chip** (00:43:39:12 - 00:43:41:18): The haunted Queen Mary down in Long Beach. 00:43:41:18 – 00:43:42:13 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. The LBC, if you will. Yeah. So apparently, just to give you the stats on the, the Queen Mary, the, the British vessel, that was then docked. It docked in Long Beach in I think 1967. It's been there. It's so apparently it has 150 ghosts. It's a lot of passengers, Thomas, that are undead. **Thomas** (00:44:04:10 - 00:44:05:21): That's a lot of ghosts. **Chip** (00:44:05:22 - 00:44:10:04): A 150 ghosts are just. They're just floating around the Queen Mary. **Thomas** (00:44:10:05 - 00:44:13:10): How do you count that many ghosts? Do you do a ghost census? **Chip** (00:44:13:14 - 00:44:21:17): Yes, but they only do it every five years, which is hard to do because, you know, ghost ghosts come and go. They go through walls and then you're like, did I just count you? **Thomas** (00:44:21:17 - 00:44:22:01): Yeah. **Chip** (00:44:22:01 - 00:44:23:00): I don't like counting sheep. **Thomas** (00:44:23:00 - 00:44:25:20): Well, you also got to know because I assume whoever. Bought the Queen Mary bought it with a ghost. Loan. Yes. And you got to have those kinds of statistics. To support your application. **Chip** (00:44:33:09 - 00:45:04:14): 100%. Thomas, you're on board. You're on board, so I bet. So the Queen Mary was constructed in the 1930s, like 1934 was like the big year. There's a construction. There was one of the workers fell from scaffolding and was killed during the construction of it. He's apparently haunting the place in 1936 during the first, I think it was like the the first, where they call that the the, inaugural, crew, a crew member passed away at fell, fractured his skull on the way back. I think it was on the way back from its first trip to the States. Fractured skull. He died in 1936. And then. Yeah, during its final trip to Long Beach in 1967, one of the crew people had heatstroke and suffered, like, basically like an aneurysm or something like that. They think that guy is on there. Then. Yeah, if we go back. So again, built into the mid 30s, it then World War two happened. It became rather than just a luxury cruise line. It was it was now a troop transport ship. So it would transport could over 16,000 troops could fit on this and they would transport it to wherever they needed to go. So the Queen quit. So then after the war, it took about I think it took about almost a year for them to retrofit it back, to turn it back into like a luxury cruise line after the war was over. But at one point in 1942, it crashed into this other British vessel. It didn't kill anybody on board the Queen Mary, but it killed like. I think it was like tons of these, this other ships passengers that it just like basically rammed through by accident. And apparently a lot of those guys have been, haunting the ship that caused their demise. Then there is, there's there's something called The Lady in White who just walks around and she's just wearing white, and people like, who's this? And this? **Thomas** (00:46:29:21 - 00:46:31:02): I heard about her before. **Chip** (00:46:31:03 - 00:46:46:13): Not often. Okay. And then this is the the when I was like 12, when I was at Queen Mary. This is basically the only thing I remember. They took us to the first class swimming pool is an indoor pool. **Thomas** (00:46:46:15 - 00:46:46:23): Yeah. **Chip** (00:46:46:23 - 00:47:05:17): It was in kind of the bowels of an indoor pool. And apparently they stand. I still remember to this day. They say sometimes you can hear children's laughter and then you will see, like wet footprints leading out of the pool, like into, like the locker room or the changing room or whatever. The only problem with that is Thomas, there's nobody there. And the pool has been drained for many, many years. 00:47:10:03 – 00:47:12:04 UNRESOLVED – But it's still. Very, very spooky. So the Queen Mary, I mean, you can't take it on a voyage, but you can take a voyage of fear. **Thomas** (00:47:20:20 - 00:47:21:19): You certainly can. I was, I was a stone's throw. Away from it the other day. **Chip** (00:47:26:06 - 00:47:26:13): Where are you? Really went? Yeah, I took the took the little lady to. **Thomas** (00:47:30:00 - 00:47:37:23): The Long Beach Aquarium, and it's kind of like I saw a couple of signs that were saying Queen Mary. And I was like, not today. **Chip** (00:47:38:01 - 00:47:41:21): Not not today, Satan. I am too spooked. I'm too spooked. Let's do a chip. Thanks for thanks for digging into. **Thomas** (00:47:46:13 - 00:47:47:20): All of those. Like. **Chip** (00:47:47:22 - 00:47:51:17): I, have you ever stayed in a hotel that was supposed to be haunted? Not to my knowledge, no. **Thomas** (00:47:53:16 - 00:47:54:19): I think I stayed at one in. 00:47:54:19 – 00:47:56:02 UNRESOLVED – Cooperstown. Where the baseball. **Chip** (00:47:57:09 - 00:47:58:02): Baseball Hall. 00:47:58:04 – 00:47:59:19 UNRESOLVED – Of Fame is. I went to a. **Thomas** (00:47:59:19 - 00:48:11:01): Wedding and, like, our friends, actually, a couple of burnt ones, very big supporters of the podcast shout out, you know who you are. I'm not doxing anybody today. Yep. But they know who they are. **Chip** (00:48:12:06 - 00:48:16:12): I do have their information right here, though, and I will be reading aloud in mere moments. **Thomas** (00:48:16:16 - 00:48:17:08): Yeah, it's going to. Be off the record, but we're going to read it aloud. 00:48:20:19 – 00:48:21:18 UNRESOLVED – They got married at this hotel by one at one of the lakes out there. There's so many lakes. I forget the name of the lake. I forget the name of the hotel. So this is not a great story. The, the weather's not abundantly clear. **Chip** (00:48:34:13 - 00:48:36:03): It's more about the why in the who. **Thomas** (00:48:36:05 - 00:48:58:19): Why in the hell. But I know it was like, they had the the real nice room. They were getting married at the hotel. It's like the, the wedding room or whatever, but very haunted. And just for staying the night there, they give you shirts that say, I, like, slept with the spirits or something like that, because, like, this room is supposed to be, like, legit, unexplainable things. 00:48:58:19 – 00:48:59:04 UNRESOLVED – Happen. **Chip** (00:48:59:04 - 00:48:59:17): In there. **Thomas** (00:48:59:17 - 00:49:03:23): Yeah, yeah. So we I stayed there during that. I didn't stay in that room, but, like. It does make you think. It doesn't make you. Think when there's all these rumors, people are really talking about it. Like something else might be going on here, and it makes t a little shaky, shaky, a little. **Chip** (00:49:15:03 - 00:49:39:04): Nervous. I love it, I love well, I want to make you a little shakier. So those are some of the big ones that I saw when I was doing some research about that. But I've actually put together about 4 or 5 more. These are movie haunted movie locations where you can go to a house or a hotel or some sort of structure that filmed a movie where there is possibly some haunting that I would love to go see, just kind of. For my information, I think maybe we could, after our Hawaii trip. Maybe we make this sort of, maybe a journey. You know, we just take a road trip to all of these movie locations. **Thomas** (00:49:49:00 - 00:49:51:08): Maybe we get the car. 00:49:51:10 – 00:49:53:09 UNRESOLVED – From vacation. **Chip** (00:49:53:09 - 00:49:54:22): Now from vacation configuration. **Thomas** (00:49:55:00 - 00:50:01:07): And just rent all these things. Maybe we put spooky Steve in the back. Maybe we get the whole gang going. **Chip** (00:50:01:07 - 00:50:07:02): I think this is it. And I highly recommend other people. Look, try these movies have just like spooky locations for them. **Thomas** (00:50:07:07 - 00:50:08:08): Yeah. **Chip** (00:50:08:10 - 00:50:16:23): So first of all this one's a little harder. I mean, you're going to have to go to Europe, but, it's for the 2002 movie. When in Rome. **Thomas** (00:50:17:01 - 00:50:18:12): Okay. I'm unfamiliar. **Chip** (00:50:18:13 - 00:50:20:09): And it's a hotel. You're not familiar. 00:50:20:11 – 00:50:21:07 UNRESOLVED – Okay. So it's apparently it's it's this one hotel. It's it's really haunted. And you know, a lot of scenes played in this and but yeah. So you don't know this movie. So it's 2000 movie, it's called When in Rome. Derek Nixon's in it. Leslie Devin is in it, I think, her name is, and then Ashley Olsen and, Mary Kate Olsen star in that 2002 movie when in Rome. So, but apparently this this room, this room is, like, very, very haunted. Yeah. And then we go back to 1995, the 1995 movie It Takes Two has, like, this haunted campsite, you know. Of course. Campsite? Yeah. Sleepaway camp. Yeah. Friday the 13th. All of these, you know, haunted camp. **Thomas** (00:51:07:12 - 00:51:10:00): Like tradition of spooky things happen at campsite. **Chip** (00:51:10:00 - 00:51:20:19): Where apparently some things happened during the movie set, maybe obviously with some of the cast members, like they felt presence or whatever. But yeah, so that's the, the 1995 movie. It takes two. **Thomas** (00:51:20:19 - 00:51:23:06): It Takes Two. Sounds like a very creepy. Title for a movie. **Chip** (00:51:24:10 - 00:51:38:18): Right? Like it takes two, right? It's not the creepiest cast in the world, but you have. Well, you have the late Kirstie Alley was in it. Steve Guttenberg of of spooky fame of, three men in a baby fame with that little ghost in the background. Right? Yeah. And then it also stars, Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen. **Thomas** (00:51:43:23 - 00:51:49:00): Wow. Okay, so the. Yeah, there's two with, the Olsen twins. As they were known. Come. Yes. **Chip** (00:51:51:07 - 00:51:52:02): Okay, okay. All right. When in Rome, it takes two. All right. What's the, what's the other. **Thomas** (00:51:56:19 - 00:51:58:16): That spooky location we can kind of. **Chip** (00:51:58:16 - 00:52:05:00): Visit? Okay, so this is from the 1993 horror movie double double Toil and Trouble. **Thomas** (00:52:05:02 - 00:52:06:12): Okay. Sounds. Yeah. Halloween, in a way. **Chip** (00:52:08:04 - 00:52:22:10): It's like sort of like this, like old castle kind of thing where you can go through and you just see these, you know, it's some real life, you know, I'm sure some real life stuff went down there. It was medieval times, you know, whatever. But apparently the cast members, like, from 93 is Cloris Leachman was in it. Eric McCormack. Yeah. Was in it. And then Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen. Right. So I think that would be a fun one for us to visit. **Thomas** (00:52:30:05 - 00:52:33:21): That would be fun. These these are I'm seeing a through. Line here, Chip. **Chip** (00:52:35:03 - 00:52:38:06): They're all scary places Thomas. **Thomas** (00:52:38:08 - 00:52:39:18): And something to but okay. **Chip** (00:52:40:00 - 00:52:53:14): And continue and then just two more I think I mean this one we were already we saw the tiki bars there but there is a haunted hotel in the 2004 movie called New York Minute. **Thomas** (00:52:53:16 - 00:52:54:14): Oh okay. **Chip** (00:52:54:16 - 00:52:58:06): So we're back to New York. There's obviously a lot of hauntings in New York. We know the history of that. **Thomas** (00:52:58:06 - 00:52:59:08): Yeah, a lot of a lot of great. Actors in New York, too, like who do they get to be in this one? **Chip** (00:53:02:05 - 00:53:07:04): I mean, speaking of great actors, you have Darrell Hammond of Saturday Night Live fame. **Thomas** (00:53:07:06 - 00:53:09:00): He could do those impressions. **Chip** (00:53:09:01 - 00:53:11:19): He does all the impressions. You have. Eugene Levy. **Thomas** (00:53:11:21 - 00:53:12:06): Okay. **Chip** (00:53:12:06 - 00:53:16:02): Eugene Levy of Schitt's Creek of everything, I mean, but. **Thomas** (00:53:16:02 - 00:53:21:16): All real actors, real talented people, they can go funny. They can also turn it on be scariest hackers. Gary I haven't. **Chip** (00:53:21:16 - 00:53:28:10): Seen this and then you also have Ashley Olsen. Okay. And Mary-Kate Olsen were in 2004 New York minute. **Thomas** (00:53:28:12 - 00:53:31:13): Yeah. So another Olsen twins. Joint. Yeah. I mean. Are you okay? Okay, we got one more. We got one more. Oh, yeah. **Chip** (00:53:41:15 - 00:54:05:09): I mean, I, you know, I'm just going to keep it real quick, just real quickly. There's, 1998 billboard dead okay. Which is a great one. Also starring, you know, actually, now that I'm looking at another read, I'm seeing all these together. It was also starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. We're we're in 1990. It's Billboard dead. Apparently there was a billboard and it is spooky. So I just think after Hawaii, maybe the two of us maybe bring some balloons with us and we just visit these scary locations of double, double, toil and trouble of it takes two of New York minute of billboard. Dad, just these very scary movie locations. **Thomas** (00:54:22:22 - 00:54:38:12): I'm I'm trying to put it together like I'm trying to do the math, figuring out we you have all these locations. They're all awesome twins movies, which, to my knowledge, aren't. 00:54:38:14 – 00:54:39:00 UNRESOLVED – All that. 00:54:39:00 – 00:54:40:08 UNRESOLVED – Scary. **Chip** (00:54:40:10 - 00:54:52:19): You know? And it's interesting now that you say that. And I think you take a step back and you look at it now that I'm looking at it. Yes. These all those movies that I just mentioned are Olsen twin movies. Yeah. Starring the Olsen twins. Yeah. And you do have a bit. I mean, and this is. **Thomas** (00:55:01:00 - 00:55:03:04): Off the record, but on camera. A a restraining. Order situation with one or both of the Olsen twins. **Chip** (00:55:08:18 - 00:55:16:01): It's not a restraining order. It's more of like a spooky document. **Thomas** (00:55:16:03 - 00:55:24:16): Because it's Halloween. Well, that that makes sense. So we'll bring you this spooky document. We'll, we'll visit these, sets that you really want to see. I'm a. **Chip** (00:55:24:16 - 00:55:31:04): Movie buff. I'm a horror buff, and I love, you know, the occult. **Thomas** (00:55:31:06 - 00:55:32:18): And according to that. Spooky that document, you like a 150ft buffer between you and the stars of all the titular stars. Often of all of these movies. **Chip** (00:55:42:21 - 00:55:47:09): Absolutely. Yep. That's great. I can't wait to go on that spooky trip. I'm. I'm down to. **Thomas** (00:55:47:09 - 00:55:48:10): Clown, buddy. **Chip** (00:55:48:10 - 00:55:49:06): Let's do it. **Thomas** (00:55:49:07 - 00:55:51:13): I am down to clown. **Chip** (00:55:51:14 - 00:56:09:09): Wait. Speaking of down to clown. Yep. Oh. There was. I need a, I need a little, I need a big one this time. I think we should do it at the same time. If we all lean back from our microphones and just give the world a big, Tim in the air, because. Do you know what's happening right now? A bunch of trees just got cut down to make paper to pulp it up. That paper. Turn that paper printed up, bind it into the greatest book of all time. The good book. **Thomas** (00:56:22:04 - 00:56:23:01): The good book. **Chip** (00:56:23:03 - 00:56:24:13): It's time for the Guinness Book of World Records. **Thomas** (00:56:24:13 - 00:56:28:11): It's time for the good book. We're jumping into it. I have a very. Spooky world record I want to talk to you about today. Yep. **Chip** (00:56:32:00 - 00:56:33:15): Lay it on me if I dare. **Thomas** (00:56:33:20 - 00:56:40:11): It also dovetails with something I did this very weekend. But, I went and found the. World record. For the highest grossing. Horror movie. Of all time. Chip. Whoa. I think it's recent enough that you might have. Some idea, but I got a couple of facts about it. The highest grossing. Horror movie of all time. Do you know what it is? **Chip** (00:56:56:07 - 00:56:58:06): Is it an Em Night Shyamalan movie? Maybe? 00:56:58:17 – 00:56:59:07 UNRESOLVED – No. Like a six set? No. Okay. All right. It is 2007. **Thomas** (00:57:04:01 - 00:57:05:23): Teens rendering of. Stephen King's classic novel. It's it Chip. **Chip** (00:57:11:07 - 00:57:19:14): It is it is it it is. If I can paraphrase Faith Nemours. Mike Patton. What is it? It is. **Thomas** (00:57:19:16 - 00:57:20:09): Right now. There's a lot of. It hysteria going on. They've got the new TV. Show on HBO. Max. Welcome to Dairy, which I watched the first episode of. Okay. Had it had a lot of gross fun watching this, some very, shocking moments. And I think one of the high. Watermarks of, like, if a horror, a horror property is really going hard. 00:57:44:12 – 00:57:45:06 UNRESOLVED – Yeah, is how. Quickly my wife refuses to watch any more of it. **Chip** (00:57:49:05 - 00:57:51:05): Right. She's done. She's out. Okay. **Thomas** (00:57:51:05 - 00:57:52:15): And she she actually lasts it. Through most of the pilot episode. She really did. She was hanging in there. It was clear she didn't. Want to watch it from the get go. But we do do everything together. And she knew I probably wouldn't watch it unless. We did it together. So she sat through it and then threw it out. But we're not talking about that. We're talking about. The. 2017 film, The First one. And Chip, let me give you again, the previous. Horror movie. The record stood for over 40 years. **Chip** (00:58:22:11 - 00:58:23:11): Really. **Thomas** (00:58:23:13 - 00:58:25:09): Do you have a do you have a guess at what. Movie at Deep Throat. **Chip** (00:58:26:15 - 00:58:28:10): 40 years, the horror. 00:58:28:12 – 00:58:29:10 UNRESOLVED – Core. Halloween? 00:58:31:02 – 00:58:33:23 UNRESOLVED – No, no, it. **Thomas** (00:58:33:23 - 00:58:38:20): Was The Exorcist 1973. It was just such a phenomenon. **Chip** (00:58:38:22 - 00:58:40:01): Such a phenomenon. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:58:40:01 - 00:58:40:23): And, it. Made $441.3 million. At the box office. Nice for The Exorcist. Yep. That's what movies cost. Like $0.50 to make. **Chip** (00:58:52:02 - 00:58:54:11): Yeah, it was like 20 bucks in a sandwich. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:58:54:13 - 00:58:57:04): So that's a nice ROI, baby, especially if you. Stayed in that. 30 mile zone. But, dude, 2017, it. **Chip** (00:59:03:12 - 00:59:08:15): Went on a walk for $701 million at. **Thomas** (00:59:08:15 - 00:59:09:01): The box. **Chip** (00:59:09:04 - 00:59:12:15): That's a long movie, too. That's a lot of people sitting there for a long time. 00:59:12:19 – 00:59:13:15 UNRESOLVED – It's a lot of people sitting. There for a long time. Not as many people showed. **Thomas** (00:59:15:16 - 00:59:21:00): Up for the second portion of it, because it's always broken up into two parts. When they're. Young. And then. 00:59:23:04 – 00:59:23:23 UNRESOLVED – 37. Years later, or whatever it is when the monster returns, when they're. Old and I've everybody's just more. Enthralled with the younger portion of. **Chip** (00:59:33:19 - 00:59:34:04): It. **Thomas** (00:59:34:06 - 00:59:38:03): These kids fighting against this entity. Nobody cares about grownups. **Chip** (00:59:38:05 - 00:59:41:04): No, no. **Thomas** (00:59:41:06 - 00:59:41:22): But, it. Had an opening weekend of $123. Million, which remains the biggest for a horror film according to 2025. Good book. And and by all accounts. Stephen King himself loved the adaptation, saying, that's. **Chip** (00:59:59:19 - 01:00:01:01): That is high praise right there. **Thomas** (01:00:01:05 - 01:00:04:06): It is. He he's opinionated. He doesn't always love it. Like, apparently The Shining hit it. Kubrick really had some, **Chip** (01:00:09:06 - 01:00:10:09): Had some words. They had some words. **Thomas** (01:00:11:17 - 01:00:14:08): They had some issues. And to the point where, like, Kubrick. Puts subtle little. **Chip** (01:00:15:10 - 01:00:19:05): Easter eggs that were just digs Stephen King. 01:00:19:07 – 01:00:19:19 UNRESOLVED – I believe. **Thomas** (01:00:19:19 - 01:00:38:05): They had an argument over what color a car should be, because it was one color in the book, and, Kubrick want it to be a different color, and they actually had some kind of confrontation about it. Yeah, and Kubrick got his way final cut. He's the director. **Chip** (01:00:38:11 - 01:00:40:04): Sure, but I believe. **Thomas** (01:00:40:04 - 01:00:43:01): In one scene they're driving somewhere. And you see a car overturned, and that. Car that's overturned is the color of the car Stephen King wanted to. **Chip** (01:00:50:17 - 01:00:53:06): Be. Yes, actually has to be a little bit of a jerk. **Thomas** (01:00:53:06 - 01:00:56:19): I yeah, he's just I orient it in there. But Stephen King love this one. I love this one. I really had a good time watching this, and I was, excited about the frenzy that went along with it that everybody got, excited for, a really. You know, glossy studio horror movie. Sure. And, yeah, I just thought during spooky season, we love horror movies. Let's talk about the goat. The biggest box office of all time. **Chip** (01:01:21:02 - 01:01:26:19): It well done, Thomas. Well done. I'm. I'm shaken to the core. Horrified. **Thomas** (01:01:27:00 - 01:01:29:14): Have you seen any version of it? **Chip** (01:01:29:16 - 01:01:33:10): I have not, actually. And I need to actually sit down and watch it. **Thomas** (01:01:33:12 - 01:01:35:23): Can I tell a quick story, please? Okay, so. One of the first. Horror movies I ever saw was the old version of it. I don't even remember. It might have. Been like a made for TV thing. **Chip** (01:01:46:12 - 01:01:49:23): I think it was made for TV movie like early 90s, like 1990 or something like that. **Thomas** (01:01:49:23 - 01:01:52:16): Yeah, yeah. So we had a babysitter. Me and my little brother two years apart. Like, I can't even really guess at what age. We were off the top of my head. But we had. This, converted garage. It was turned into a playroom for me and my little brother. So, like, yeah. We had couches out there. We had. You know, our mattresses from our little kid beds that we would like kind of throw on the floor, and we would WWF. Of course, you would have sleepovers out there. We had all. Of our toys. We had TVs, we had VCR. It was like. **Chip** (01:02:24:21 - 01:02:26:16): Our little haven. 01:02:26:22 – 01:02:28:01 UNRESOLVED – Sure, when we were in there. **Thomas** (01:02:28:01 - 01:02:35:10): Our parents could get some rest in the real house, of course. So we had a babysitter, my parents went out on a date or something like that. And babysitter lets. Us watch it, buddy. **Chip** (01:02:38:05 - 01:02:38:21): Yeah. **Thomas** (01:02:38:23 - 01:02:40:00): So we are. I mean, I baby, I'm ten. Eight. My little brother is between. **Chip** (01:02:45:20 - 01:02:49:06): Eight and six and we see it. **Thomas** (01:02:49:08 - 01:02:50:07): And we're, like. Sleeping. Afterwards we try and go to sleep in the converted garage. It has these tile ceilings. Above those tile. Ceilings is pink insulation, just like insulation, like any house insulation. In the middle of the night. I hear the ceiling start to move. We've just seen it. We got so scared out of our mind. Yeah, yeah. And, here's something in the attic. Something in the ceiling. It's creeping, it's creaking. Am I making it up? Hold my breath. Listen. I can hear my. Little brother breathing, but I can also hear. **Chip** (01:03:27:15 - 01:03:36:21): Something going bump in the attic. Chip. And I hear it creak. I hear it creak. It's moving. And then the ceiling. **Thomas** (01:03:36:22 - 01:03:39:07): Tile directly above my little brother. Explodes and a ball of screaming, hissing pink lands on my brother and starts making noise. And then my little brother is terrified, but also. Screaming in pain. Sure, something's happening here. Yeah, And it looks like it's. **Chip** (01:04:00:07 - 01:04:15:07): Red nose falling right on my little brother and attacking him. Our cat had found a way into the attic, climbed over these like, you know, low grade faux, garage ceiling tiles that weren't supposed to bear any weight. Yeah. Crashed through it. The weight caused it to crash through it. It got wrapped up in insulation. So this pink ball just fell, and then it landed on my, like, literally landed, right? My little brother and started like, you know, peeling out and clawing, trying to get out of this insulation. It just taken a big fall. **Thomas** (01:04:32:02 - 01:04:32:19): It was one. Of the most terrifying moments of my life. **Chip** (01:04:35:13 - 01:04:37:08): You. Of course it would be. It was. **Thomas** (01:04:37:10 - 01:04:38:16): But it was just like just after. We saw it. Our first horror movie. 01:04:40:05 – 01:04:42:05 UNRESOLVED – You could not like. And that a pink, what looks like a reddish nose just falls out of the ceiling screaming and hissing. And that claws. Up your little. Brother. **Chip** (01:04:52:02 - 01:04:53:04): That's horrifying. **Thomas** (01:04:53:04 - 01:04:54:23): Wild times. **Chip** (01:04:55:01 - 01:04:57:06): I love it, man. I was the cat. Okay? **Thomas** (01:04:57:08 - 01:05:00:00): Oh, cat was totally fine. If the cat wasn't fine, I probably. Wouldn't even tell this story. **Chip** (01:05:01:14 - 01:05:02:12): Yeah, that's true. **Thomas** (01:05:02:17 - 01:05:09:13): But, yeah, it ran off. It was fine. It on my brother the cat lived, maybe 8 or 9 more years. **Chip** (01:05:09:15 - 01:05:11:07): I mean, just live in the, **Thomas** (01:05:11:09 - 01:05:11:20): Yeah, there was. 01:05:11:20 – 01:05:12:19 UNRESOLVED – No, no life. Altering injuries sustained there. Yeah, but, it was. A real. Coincidence and also terrifying at the same time. Because, you know, when you're a kid, you see. That horror movie, you're just like. Anything. Oh, yeah. Spooky. You're listening to every noise. And then, like. You hear the ceiling, and it's just, like, moving and creaking, and there's not supposed to be anything up. There. Yeah. Wild situation. Body. **Chip** (01:05:34:12 - 01:05:35:23): Beautiful. Beautiful. So that's my world record. Well done. **Thomas** (01:05:38:05 - 01:05:40:18): What did you what did you dig out of the good pork chop? **Chip** (01:05:40:18 - 01:05:54:12): I got a little nervous because I thought we were doing the same one, but we did not. Okay, I also talked about a horror movie, but instead of the highest grossing, I found the world's first horror movie. **Thomas** (01:05:54:14 - 01:05:56:03): Really? **Chip** (01:05:56:05 - 01:06:13:08): Yes. Okay, you got to go back, Thomas, before 2017. This is before 1990? Yes, before Halloween night. Morrell. Elm Street, back before psycho, before Weekend at Bernie's. You know, all of the horror hits. Yeah. We used to go back to the century before that. **Thomas** (01:06:13:10 - 01:06:14:11): Really. **Chip** (01:06:14:13 - 01:06:45:18): Right now, back in the 1800s, he figured out how to use a camera. Yeah. And by the way, these cameras were, like, the size of a refrigerator. So it wasn't like you're doing multiple cameras or having all the shots because it's basically just like you just have to plop the camera down. And that's where it is. Right? So like, people go to the movies or they would, I don't know, like a Nickelodeon or whatever they would go to see and they would literally watch, like their big hit of the night would be like a 45 second video of a train going past. Yeah, that there was no like it was just that's the thing. Or just like people walking on the street for 45 a minute, you know, like, yeah, that's all it was. **Thomas** (01:06:55:02 - 01:06:56:07): Not a lot of narrative there. **Chip** (01:06:56:08 - 01:07:02:19): Not a lot of narrative until, your boy from France. **Thomas** (01:07:02:21 - 01:07:03:05): Yeah. **Chip** (01:07:03:05 - 01:07:06:14): George. It's George. I'm assuming they would say George. **Thomas** (01:07:06:19 - 01:07:07:07): George. **Chip** (01:07:07:07 - 01:07:09:19): George Melies. **Thomas** (01:07:09:21 - 01:07:10:22): Miller. **Chip** (01:07:11:00 - 01:07:30:07): He was this, he was a stage magician. He'd put on all these shows. And back then, like, you would do these magic shows and they would, like, project the images up to make maybe like a ghost or like, or whatever. So he kind of had that idea from, like, a magicians point of view to like, yeah, oh, I can make some movie magic. Like one time he actually made a mistake where he was just shooting some people on the street where there was like, you know, like a horse drawn carriage. It's people walking. And the film got jammed and he got mad, so he stopped the camera. But then he started it up again like two minutes later. But then he watched the video and it looked like, literally like the one stagecoach turned into a hearse. Because of because it just the one frame stop where it stuck. And then two minutes later there was a hearse going past. He was like, oh, well. And it gave him an idea to be like, oh, I can like, mess with the audiences here and do things that we haven't really seen before with editing or whatever, where like I can make things appear or disappear. So the world's first horror movie was 1896. So let's go back to 1896. Le Manoir. I'm going to call it a oh, dude, Double-A. Or, you know, whatever you say that in French, basically the Devil's House or the Devil's mansion. Oh, by the way, there's there's been a couple other names like in the US have called, like, The Haunted Mansion. There was a couple other names, and then there was one that he did a few years later that people say, well, that was called The Haunted anyway. So basically it's called the Devil's Mansion. Now again, this was a very I know it is a long movie. Yeah, in a couple parts. This was a long movie for its day two. Very ambitious at just over three minutes long. **Thomas** (01:08:54:23 - 01:08:56:16): Oh my gosh. **Chip** (01:08:56:18 - 01:08:58:20): So you really had to get some popcorn and buckle up. **Thomas** (01:08:58:22 - 01:09:00:20): Buckle up. Yeah. **Chip** (01:09:00:22 - 01:09:17:04): So basically it started out and it's just one angle. It's just because you have to put the camera there and it's three minutes of stuff happening. And it kind of looks like this old castle. And it starts out where this bat flies in and it's this, it's the greatest bat in the world. It's like this bat on little strings, you know? Yeah. And then because of movie magic, the bat just becomes a guy. It just like you and like, imagine being somebody in Paris in 1896. You've never seen anything like this. Yeah. And all of a sudden it was just like, what just happened? So the guy was basically Mephistopheles. Mr.. Whatever the name is, the, the the devil, Satan. Yeah. Who's the bat? Turn into him. And then he makes this cauldron up here, and then this little assistant guy who's like, a little gnome kind of comes out, he appears. And then this gal, this pretty lady like, appears from the cauldron, and it's just like all of these. And people were like. And he didn't want to make it. He's apparently he said he. It wasn't about like, horror about scaring people. He just wanted to delight people and be like, yeah, really? Show them things like there's there was not a cauldron there. And now all of a sudden he just points his fingers. There's a cauldron there. It's like that is crazy. You didn't do that. Like you never saw that. So it was wild. So then my favorite part of the movie is so that they kind of all go away. He kind of makes them disappear again. And then he turns back into a bat. And then these two, I think they call them cavaliers, which are basically fancy boys like these, like wealthy, loyalists to the, I think to apparently to the king of England, apparently for whatever reason. But these like, fancy boys, they show up to this castle and then he starts messing with them because he's kind of invisible and he's like, hitting them with pitchforks. And then he turns into a, he turns into a bat again. He's messing with them. The one guy I think, like, jumps off the bat, like off the out of the window or whatever, and dies. And then it ends with the one cavalier. He takes a crucifix and he holds it to the devil. And the devil finally relents. So. But just over three minutes. Thomas, is dead. Is the, the the Devil's mansion clock in in three minutes? That's the world's first. And by the way, you probably know this guy George. Melissa's, some of his other. His other one was called, A trip to the moon. Yeah, that's the one. You know that one, right? Like the. **Thomas** (01:11:24:18 - 01:11:26:08): Smashing Pumpkins video for the Smashing. **Chip** (01:11:26:08 - 01:11:28:16): Pumpkins video. That's. That's him right there. Yeah. **Thomas** (01:11:28:19 - 01:11:30:04): Hit after hit for that guy. And I also heard, you know, who was actually. Up for the Devil's Mansion, but was a little too young to be the pretty lady. **Chip** (01:11:36:23 - 01:11:37:16): Who's that? **Thomas** (01:11:37:18 - 01:11:39:00): The Olsen twins. **Chip** (01:11:39:02 - 01:11:42:15): Yep. They were just that. Just just missed it by about 100 years. Yes, yes, just a. **Thomas** (01:11:45:01 - 01:11:46:02): Century. **Chip** (01:11:46:04 - 01:11:47:04): That that close. **Thomas** (01:11:47:04 - 01:11:49:04): Two young. There were two. Yeah. **Chip** (01:11:49:06 - 01:11:57:00): Yeah. So there you go. The most the biggest box office hit of a horror movie and the world's first horror movie. **Thomas** (01:11:57:01 - 01:11:58:07): And I will also point out that. 01:11:58:07 – 01:12:00:03 UNRESOLVED – If you are the first horror movie. You're also the number one at the box office too, in your time. **Chip** (01:12:03:15 - 01:12:05:08): Until that second one comes. 01:12:05:08 – 01:12:06:03 UNRESOLVED – Along. Yeah. We, **Thomas** (01:12:06:05 - 01:12:08:11): 100, 100 plus years apart. **Chip** (01:12:08:13 - 01:12:09:20): Yep. **Thomas** (01:12:09:22 - 01:12:15:06): We got the two highest box offices. Boom. Really a nice through line chap. Really a very good line. And I'm not surprised because, like, the good book. Usually groups things by category. So the fact that I found the highest. Grossing horror movie. And did not. On that page, see the first horror movie. **Chip** (01:12:29:18 - 01:12:31:16): See means we just had to be on real. **Thomas** (01:12:31:16 - 01:12:34:23): Parallel thinking from completely different pages. **Chip** (01:12:34:23 - 01:12:36:22): Parallel universes. Exactly. The good book. **Thomas** (01:12:37:20 - 01:12:39:02): Works in mysterious ways. **Chip** (01:12:39:05 - 01:12:39:12): It really. **Thomas** (01:12:39:12 - 01:12:43:00): Does. That's the good book. Now it's time to get into vacation rules. We're going on a trip in under 27 days. Chip transfers, Thanksgiving. And Paradise in 27 days. But we're going. Earlier than that. We're going to get on the island, try and drum. Up some excitement and really sink. Into that vacation so you can be completely relaxed when you go on stage and work your magic. But we got some vacation rules, rules to live by. When you're on. **Chip** (01:13:08:00 - 01:13:11:05): Vacation, when you're seeing the world, when you're not. Sleeping in your own bed. These are tried and true and not to be argued with. **Thomas** (01:13:17:12 - 01:13:18:21): Chip, what is your vacation. Rule this week? **Chip** (01:13:20:02 - 01:13:57:06): All right, vacation rule 105. Eat on your grandpop schedule the early bird specials. The way to go on vacation. Figure out where and when everyone else is eating and then avoid it like the play. Don't worry about the mad rush. Instead of waiting while everybody else is waiting 45 minutes for a table for dinner with their kids, running around doing all that stuff, you're sitting on the beach, on their beach chair enjoying it, and then because you've already eaten or you're going to eat in another hour or two when the mad rush is done, just set up a different schedule, okay? And Thomas, let me tell you, there is nothing sweeter than a lobster dinner at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday in an empty restaurant. **Thomas** (01:14:06:12 - 01:14:13:10): I couldn't agree more, Chip. That's a great rule. Me having shifted into my parenting phase, dinners. Now at 6:00 all the. Time. And like, it's an absolute delight to go to restaurants. We go. 01:14:20:14 – 01:14:21:10 UNRESOLVED – There. The only other people that are really. Eating at that time are like maybe older. Folks or people with kids. Yes, we know that. **Chip** (01:14:28:03 - 01:14:35:12): Like, we can go into that restaurant. There's going to be no, wait, nobody's going to be angry that we have the baby with us. **Thomas** (01:14:35:14 - 01:14:45:22): And we can just get the same food, without any of the competition. And you're taking that to vacation. That's a that's a tremendous, tremendous. Well thought out vacation rule. **Chip** (01:14:47:21 - 01:14:56:15): Yeah. And then you're just saving so much time, too, because you're not in that mad rush. You're not waiting for that. You say, I already ate. I'm going to go enjoy the other things while that crowd is doing that thing. **Thomas** (01:14:56:16 - 01:15:01:10): And the chef's cooking that one. Lobster. You know they're not cooking 37 lobsters. Yep. **Chip** (01:15:01:15 - 01:15:04:21): And, chicken cordon bleu. There is there's love and attention to that lobster. **Thomas** (01:15:07:19 - 01:15:09:05): Yeah. They're not making a spring salad. They're really spending the time in your lobster. And I. Think when it comes. To lobster, you're going to enjoy that. TLC. **Chip** (01:15:15:16 - 01:15:20:18): Absolutely. Thomas, what is your vacation rule? My vacation rule is vacation rule number 14. Don't overpack your. Vacation. **Thomas** (01:15:26:00 - 01:15:40:13): Schedule every day. You can pick one place you want to eat, one thing you want to see, and one activity you want to do. Unless you love being tired, stressed, and not having any fun. **Chip** (01:15:40:16 - 01:15:54:09): I love it. I can't agree more. It's you. You overpack and then you're not enjoying the one activity because you got to run to the other activity and you're not soaking it in. It's kind of like that lobster. I don't need to make 30 lobsters. I need to make one a day. **Thomas** (01:15:54:09 - 01:16:04:16): And I'm not saying don't do more than this, but I'm saying just soak into the vibe of the place you're visiting. Like walk around a neighborhood, eat at the local. Place instead of, you know. **Chip** (01:16:06:18 - 01:16:07:01): The. **Thomas** (01:16:07:03 - 01:16:07:23): Place you read about. Across town online like you do one of those a day. It's all you need. If you're like having a four day trip and you have. For like world class meals that you. Research, that's amazing. But also have coffee and a croissant, next. Store or whatever the local delicacy may. Be. Just get there, be in the vibe, live the. Life that people are living there for a little. Bit. Absorb what it feels like to, be busy in that town and to take it easy in that town. Love it. **Chip** (01:16:38:10 - 01:16:52:15): I find that is like the the prime schedule. It's like you have one thing scheduled, like one thing you want to do. You have a meal you're excited about, and then something you want to see and everything else outside of that should just be like, whatever comes your way. Well done Thomas, well done. **Thomas** (01:16:54:01 - 01:16:56:15): Well, thank you very much. So that's it for. Vacation. Roles. We hope you we hope you use them. Don't just. 01:17:01:19 – 01:17:02:11 UNRESOLVED – Listen. Put these into. 01:17:03:05 – 01:17:04:10 UNRESOLVED – Practice. Now it's time to talk about the man. I promise. Candy coated buffet facts. Some facts that are so sweet and such a. Treat that, you're gonna. Love just hearing them and knowing. Their true. These are buffet facts. Me and Chip have dug deep and. Deep into Jimmy Buffett's life. 01:17:23:06 – 01:17:23:19 UNRESOLVED – We love. The man. We celebrate his career. We celebrate what he stood for. And mostly that he carved his own. Path. Through this. **Chip** (01:17:30:08 - 01:17:48:10): World where no path existed before. And it was, his ideal path, the way he wanted to live his life. A great life designed for him. And we should all be so lucky. So we dig in deep, and we find facts that only the hardest of the hardcore Buffett fans know and will recognize. **Thomas** (01:17:48:12 - 01:17:49:20): Chip, what is your. Fact about the man this week? **Chip** (01:17:52:17 - 01:18:00:14): Well, I know we're talking about Halloween this week, but this actually is tangentially related to another holiday, and it's a totally true fact. **Thomas** (01:18:00:14 - 01:18:01:01): Okay, great. **Chip** (01:18:01:06 - 01:18:19:06): Jimmy Buffett's birthday is December 25th. That makes two guys born on that day who went on to be rock stars with huge followings, who could both walk on water. **Thomas** (01:18:19:07 - 01:18:20:17): Oh, it's so true. It's so true. Yeah, I don't know. I, I'm not a big one. For astrology or like that. Your your birthday means something. But maybe having that December 25th birthday. Really means you're going to be a special person. That changes the world. **Chip** (01:18:35:20 - 01:18:38:03): Born on Christmas day. Come on. **Thomas** (01:18:38:05 - 01:18:41:02): What a present to his family. And let's be honest, the world. **Chip** (01:18:41:02 - 01:18:44:03): The world speed of presents. What's your buff effect? **Thomas** (01:18:44:03 - 01:18:46:15): Oh well, my Buffett fact. Speaks to his. **Chip** (01:18:48:08 - 01:18:53:13): Relationship with the natural world. **Thomas** (01:18:53:15 - 01:18:57:13): Jimmy Buffett loves the oceans and many creatures. Look it up, hot shot. He cared more about manatees than there were manatee wives. **Chip** (01:19:09:01 - 01:19:12:15): That is dedication. That is dedication to the manatees. **Thomas** (01:19:12:19 - 01:19:15:10): It is. He loves the manatee. Actually, one of his big. Leg lives pushes aside from. 01:19:17:12 – 01:19:18:17 UNRESOLVED – The music and. His personal endeavors of just, you know, loving being on the sea and being a commercial. **Chip** (01:19:24:01 - 01:19:26:04): Pilot. He had a charity, I think. I'm sure it exists in some, capacity today. **Thomas** (01:19:32:13 - 01:19:37:00): For saving the manatees. Dude, I love it. He, he was a manatee. Enthusiast and truly put a lot of resources and. Time. **Chip** (01:19:40:21 - 01:19:44:02): Behind, saving his water faring friends. They're very docile creatures, apparently. **Thomas** (01:19:46:05 - 01:19:49:10): Yeah, yeah, they need a little help, and I. Can you imagine? I think they're just. So chill that Jimmy's like. Yeah, these are my guys. **Chip** (01:19:53:22 - 01:19:54:05): Yeah. **Thomas** (01:19:54:09 - 01:19:56:10): Let's, let's make sure nobody hassles them. **Chip** (01:19:56:10 - 01:19:58:06): They are the parrot heads of the ocean. **Thomas** (01:19:58:06 - 01:19:59:06): I mean. You show me, a bigger. Seafaring fan of Jimmy Buffett than the manatees do. 01:20:06:11 – 01:20:06:17 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Sea cows. Some people call them. **Chip** (01:20:08:17 - 01:20:20:22): Speaking of sea cows, we. I feel we have. I was going to come up with something with count. I couldn't because we were spent. We have we have milked this episode. There we go. **Thomas** (01:20:20:23 - 01:20:21:16): I'd be sea. **Chip** (01:20:21:16 - 01:20:25:15): Lion if I told you that wasn't true. That's. That's exactly what I was looking for right there. Yeah. **Thomas** (01:20:28:12 - 01:20:31:08): Do we got to wrap it up? Have a great. Holiday and thanks for hanging out with these two lumberjacks on vacation. This is the sunburnt. Podcast where we talk. About comedy and tropical. Travel. Until next time, stay burnt. Front desk. **Chip** (01:20:44:12 - 01:20:47:22): Hi, this is Mr. Chantry in room 308. I'd like to make a complaint. Oh, I'm. **Thomas** (01:20:47:22 - 01:20:49:23): So sorry to hear that. What's the problem, Mr. Chantry? Well, I. **Chip** (01:20:49:23 - 01:20:56:03): Was getting a lot of nasty looks from your staff and other guests at the clothing optional indoor pool just now. **Thomas** (01:20:56:05 - 01:20:58:05): There's no clothing optional pool. **Chip** (01:20:58:06 - 01:21:02:19): Oh, okay. Well, what time does the clothing optional breakfast buffet open? Oh, boy.
