That's what I always say. **Thomas** (00:00:07:02 - 00:00:11:15): People using the hotel Coffeemakers to wash their undies and socks. **Chip** (00:00:11:15 - 00:00:12:18): I'd rather the rapture. **Thomas** (00:00:12:22 - 00:00:14:16): We're not Paul Howie Mandel. **Chip** (00:00:14:19 - 00:00:15:10): We're getting there. **Thomas** (00:00:15:15 - 00:00:18:18): Fish of the week.

I was just going nuts. I was running all over the lawn, dude. Tackling guys. Yeah. Yeah, I can people over just throw in, like, throwing elbows. I'm just like. And I haven't been like this in a long time. I'm just like, yeah. Back and forth, just full out sprints. Just snatch and one grab and one right. It was amazing. And I mean, I'm just done. I'm just covered in just, like, sweat. There's blood. Just grass stains everywhere, buddy. And yeah, that's how I came in second place in my nephew's kindergarten. **Thomas** (00:01:00:19 - 00:01:04:03): Oh, dude. Eggplants get wild, man. **Chip** (00:01:04:04 - 00:01:05:00): Wild? Yeah. **Thomas** (00:01:05:02 - 00:01:07:11): Oh, I chip, actually, we already started. **Chip** (00:01:07:13 - 00:01:08:12): Oh, hey. **Thomas** (00:01:08:14 - 00:01:28:00): What up everybody? This is the sunburn podcast where we talk about comedy and tropical travel. The number one tropical travel comedy podcast on the planet. My host, as always. You know him from Netflix. You know him from his incredible stand up special Move Closer. It's Philadelphia's own chip chantry. **Chip** (00:01:28:02 - 00:01:40:04): And over here to my left is Emmy award winning producer. Writer. He puts the man in. I get scared every time the Tin Man comes to life. And The Wizard of Oz, Mr. Thomas O'Brien. **Thomas** (00:01:40:06 - 00:01:45:22): There's certain movie moments that just make your bones shiver. Chip. **Chip** (00:01:46:00 - 00:01:56:18): Oh, just chilling, chilling times. But, I'll tell you what's not chilling right now. What? This may be the last time you see daddy wearing a sweatshirt over his Hawaiian. **Thomas** (00:01:56:20 - 00:01:58:04): Oh, man. **Chip** (00:01:58:06 - 00:02:13:17): For the last few months, the highest temperature that I've walked my dog in in the morning when I first wake up in the morning. Yeah. Is, I'd say 42 degrees. That's the high. That's the high by far, 42 degrees. **Thomas** (00:02:13:17 - 00:02:14:06): **Chip** (00:02:14:08 - 00:02:29:11): Usually in the 30s in the morning. I think yesterday was in the 30s. Yeah, in the morning. I could be wrong, but, woke up this morning, strapped the dog up, ready to go for the walk. Looked at the temp 63 degrees. **Thomas** (00:02:29:11 - 00:02:35:03): My goodness, that's quite the improvement. Still a little chilly for my bones, but that's quite the improvement. **Chip** (00:02:35:05 - 00:02:55:20): But I got to take it. I got to take. Baby. This is this is for realsies. I was walking around in shorts and t shirt yesterday. Yeah. Hey, it's going to be, I think apparently today, tomorrow. Supposed to be up to 80 degrees here in Philadelphia. All right. I, it's not going to last, but it it every time, it just keeps popping through that ceiling that that glass ceiling of temperatures if you count. **Thomas** (00:02:55:22 - 00:02:56:06): Yeah. **Chip** (00:02:56:10 - 00:02:58:19): So I'm, I'm starting to officially feel like a parent. **Thomas** (00:02:58:19 - 00:03:05:19): Well, baby, you've always been a big proponent of breaking that glass ceiling. As long as it was only temperature dependent. **Chip** (00:03:05:21 - 00:03:09:05): Exactly. Just Fahrenheit, baby. **Thomas** (00:03:09:05 - 00:03:12:14): Well, dude, we got an episode that's going to heat you up today. Chip. **Chip** (00:03:12:19 - 00:03:13:15): Yeah, well, we. **Thomas** (00:03:13:15 - 00:03:33:23): Have a smoke show of an episode. The Cayman Islands is breaking. Visitor records by advertising what they don't have. Love it. That hotel coffee maker you use this morning. It's basically a warm, wet petri dish. A 92 year old Hollywood icon doesn't want Sydney Sweeney to play her because of a looks issue. **Chip** (00:03:34:03 - 00:03:35:13): That gave me some vertigo. **Thomas** (00:03:35:14 - 00:03:39:16): It turns out sleeping in Frank Sinatra's bad can come without all the domestic abuse. **Chip** (00:03:39:16 - 00:03:41:08): Ring a ding ding. **Thomas** (00:03:41:10 - 00:03:48:22): Shailene Woodley is surviving the apocalypse on Baynes. America's ranked Paris the most overrated food city in Europe, and. **Chip** (00:03:48:22 - 00:03:53:08): That comes from a country who's living on beans, apparently. 00:03:53:10 – 00:03:54:11 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. **Thomas** (00:03:54:13 - 00:04:12:17): Baguettes fired. We got some buffet facts. We got the fish of the week. Meet a reef fish that looks like an autumn leaf. Got bedazzled. And we're cracking open the good book. The Trouble in Paradise hotline is open. You can leave us a voicemail at (310) 845-6038. **Chip** (00:04:12:19 - 00:04:13:21): Give us a call. **Thomas** (00:04:13:23 - 00:04:34:16): And if we do, use your story from the hotline, you're going to get one of these bad boys. A beautiful bottle of Hawaiian Tropic. Sheer touch. It might not be 50. It might be 30. It'll. It'll be whatever we think you deserve. Or maybe what's the cheapest for us to procure? **Chip** (00:04:34:21 - 00:04:38:20): It might just be some mayonnaise that we just squeeze into an old, empty bottle. **Thomas** (00:04:38:20 - 00:04:40:13): Or one mayonnaise. **Chip** (00:04:40:15 - 00:04:54:05): That's true. And one of the easiest, but mayonnaise has to have at least a certain level of SPF, like anything you put on your body. You should be able to measure like put a little mustard on there. Yeah it could be SPF 17 I don't know. But it's something if you. **Thomas** (00:04:54:05 - 00:05:17:01): Think about it. The roof of your house has an SPF rating of 100. It might be 100 million. Yeah. One of the good Lord's miracles is SPF. I don't know what it means. I don't know what it's about. I know that, like, every time I have assumed I know how safe I am in the sun based off of what I've slathered on myself, I can still get in a lot of trouble if I don't reapply, more often than I. **Chip** (00:05:17:01 - 00:05:18:04): Think you got two times. **Thomas** (00:05:18:05 - 00:05:19:19): The SPF works in mysterious ways. **Chip** (00:05:19:19 - 00:05:21:06): Trip show does this podcast. **Thomas** (00:05:21:08 - 00:05:22:09): Yeah, let's get it going. **Chip** (00:05:22:14 - 00:05:28:22): Thomas. I'm going to put a little slather on right now. I the other day I had to put it was opening day for the Phillies. **Thomas** (00:05:29:00 - 00:05:29:17): Yeah. **Chip** (00:05:29:18 - 00:05:47:08): And, I actually put some sunblock on for real, because I went down to the game. Yeah. I didn't go into the game. I just, you know, me, I live down. I lived in the neighborhood. So go down, walk around the, the parking lot, a little bit of the stadium, check out, see some friends. And, daddy needed some sunscreen for the first time, and it felt good. And I'm feeling it this morning in the basement. **Thomas** (00:05:50:07 - 00:05:57:23): I've got a quick baseball question for you. Go. So they sing that song, Take Me Out to the ballgame. Take me out to the crowd. **Chip** (00:05:57:23 - 00:05:58:13): I really do. **Thomas** (00:05:58:13 - 00:06:03:03): Is anybody ever sung that song when they weren't already at a ballgame or already in the crowd? **Chip** (00:06:03:04 - 00:06:08:15): You know, it seems like it's a hat on a hat if you think about it. They're already at the ballgame. **Thomas** (00:06:08:15 - 00:06:09:00): Yeah, that's. **Chip** (00:06:09:00 - 00:06:15:19): What I'm saying. The next time you're at a funeral, Thomas, here's what I want you to do. Just get that tuning harp out. **Thomas** (00:06:15:21 - 00:06:17:00): Yeah? Yeah. **Chip** (00:06:18:16 - 00:06:29:02): And then just start a rousing rendition of Take Me Out to the ballgame. Because where would you rather be? At a funeral. You'd rather be in the old, the old stadium, watching them old throw the old cowhide around. 00:06:29:04 – 00:06:30:05 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. **Thomas** (00:06:30:07 - 00:06:40:18): Well, I also, I feel it's kind of like, I don't know, he. You're in the middle of making love, and you kind of, like, stop to sing in our Kelly tone. You know, it's kind of. You're already. **Chip** (00:06:40:18 - 00:06:48:07): There. Yeah. Yeah. Unless unless you're in the closet. Literally. Yes. He was trapped in the closet. Remember that whole situation? **Thomas** (00:06:48:08 - 00:06:53:08): He had a whole saga about being in that closet. And it turns out that wasn't his biggest saga. **Chip** (00:06:53:09 - 00:07:05:10): It was not as big a song, but, like, just to think about sometimes I think about how productive I am. Yeah. And I'm sort of juggling a number of projects, as are you. 00:07:05:12 – 00:07:06:02 UNRESOLVED – And you're like how do you get it, how do you get it all done by the end of the day. Yeah. Look at what our Kelly did. **Thomas** (00:07:10:18 - 00:07:11:11): Look at what he did. **Chip** (00:07:11:12 - 00:07:16:08): I mean I'm not saying it was good what he did, but I'm saying it was. **Thomas** (00:07:16:08 - 00:07:17:13): The work ethic was there. **Chip** (00:07:17:14 - 00:07:37:14): The work ethic was phenomenal. He was getting a lot done in and out of the closet. I'm going to basically write a video. Rock opera, and then I'm going to do some terrible, terrible things, but I'm going to get them all off my to do list. Could you imagine R Kelly's to do list? What that look like? Shocking. **Thomas** (00:07:37:16 - 00:07:39:17): Shocking, but a lot of crossed off a. **Chip** (00:07:39:18 - 00:07:48:06): Lot of cross stuff. Yeah, he got stuff done, horrible things. He believed he could fly. And then he's like, I'm going to I'm going to do it. **Thomas** (00:07:48:08 - 00:07:50:11): He touched the sky and everything else. **Chip** (00:07:50:14 - 00:08:01:20): He touched the sky and everything in between. And those are all the R Kelly references I know. So next bit because I don't know anything else about, you know, anything else about R Kelly? **Thomas** (00:08:01:22 - 00:08:06:01): Wear sunglasses. He like to remix. **Chip** (00:08:06:01 - 00:08:07:01): Yeah. There it is. **Thomas** (00:08:07:01 - 00:08:11:23): I think we scratched the surface. This is the R Kelly podcast where we talk about art. **Chip** (00:08:12:01 - 00:08:20:07): I'm not even joking about this, Thomas. I'm guaranteeing next episode. Yeah, I'm going to have 45 minutes of D'Angelo jokes. **Thomas** (00:08:20:10 - 00:08:25:18): He was the one that had that real, the shape. Yeah. Torso. **Chip** (00:08:25:23 - 00:08:43:20): Yes. And then the. Yes. Yeah. And then the very the very speaking of shocking video, but, the late, great D'Angelo, apparently, I believe really I believe D'Angelo recently is no longer with us. I could be wrong about that. Apologies, D'Angelo. If you're there and you're listening. Yeah. Hey, call in at the, at the hotline. **Thomas** (00:08:43:21 - 00:08:52:04): 3108 4 or 5 6038. If you're D'Angelo and you're still with us walking on this mortal coil. **Chip** (00:08:52:06 - 00:08:53:04): Give us a call. **Thomas** (00:08:53:06 - 00:08:57:07): Give us a call. If not, condolences to, your loved ones. **Chip** (00:08:57:07 - 00:09:01:11): D'Angelo's next of kin. Give us a call. We'd love to hear from you as well. **Thomas** (00:09:01:13 - 00:09:12:05): This is the sunbird podcast, where we talk about comedy and tropical travel. If you think those two things should go together, stay tuned. Front desk. **Chip** (00:09:12:05 - 00:09:17:01): Hi, this is Mr. Chantry in room 308. When should I expect the photos with the Easter Bunny to be delivered? **Thomas** (00:09:17:03 - 00:09:25:12): Mr. Chantry, we don't do photos with the Easter Bunny. You sat on the hotel manager, Mr. Pennington's lap at breakfast, and I think he wants to press charges. **Chip** (00:09:25:12 - 00:09:26:09): But the bunny suit. **Thomas** (00:09:26:09 - 00:09:30:04): Yes, yes, he wears a very fuzzy jacket. **Chip** (00:09:30:05 - 00:09:31:07): Yep. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:09:31:07 - 00:09:39:09): Dude, episode 56, The Sunburnt Podcast, man. And it is a little chilly out in the world, but it's warm in here. But I'm feeling. **Chip** (00:09:39:09 - 00:09:40:21): It. I'm feeling like I'm on the sand. **Thomas** (00:09:41:03 - 00:09:48:13): It's also spring break time. A lot of people are getting their toes in the sand, their feet in the water, their whole bodies to a warm climate. **Chip** (00:09:48:13 - 00:09:51:23): We're getting our minds to a warm body right now. That's what we're doing. **Thomas** (00:09:52:01 - 00:10:07:20): We really are. And to all of you out there traveling around the world listening to this on your vacation or at the airport or wherever you happen to be celebrating your tropical instincts, thanks for hanging out with us. We support you, we love you, and we love what you're doing. **Chip** (00:10:07:20 - 00:10:10:14): Grab an extra snack at the airport and, stick around. **Thomas** (00:10:10:14 - 00:10:13:00): Yeah, make it a peanut M&M. Unless you're allergic. **Chip** (00:10:13:00 - 00:10:14:23): I love a peanut. Eminem. Some of my faves. **Thomas** (00:10:14:23 - 00:10:20:08): I love a peanut M&M on a plane. It's kind of the only place I do it where what's what's your. Do you have a plane snack? **Chip** (00:10:20:08 - 00:10:31:22): I have enough peanut M&M. That's a good one. I'll go. Sometimes I'll go trail mix. Here's what good trail mix. Sometimes I think like, okay, what if it's a lost situation right where the plane goes down and I need that energy? **Thomas** (00:10:32:00 - 00:10:39:02): Can I explain something to you? Yeah. Trail mix is just peanut eminems with the nuts on the outside. It's. **Chip** (00:10:39:02 - 00:10:49:21): It really is what it is. Yeah, that's that's pretty much what trail mix is. So. Yeah. But I do get a I do enjoy me a good peanut M&M. So I sometimes do get those on on flights. **Thomas** (00:10:49:23 - 00:10:58:12): Yeah. It's nice. That's my wife's go to. And I always get the benefit of having, one of the little yellow bags real close. 00:10:58:14 – 00:11:01:00 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. Nice. Nice thing, buddy. I said we got too much stuff to get to. **Chip** (00:11:04:19 - 00:11:07:01): Let's let's do let's just jump right in. **Thomas** (00:11:07:03 - 00:11:10:05): All right? This is for the. Yeah, I'll go for the. **Chip** (00:11:10:05 - 00:11:12:08): I'll go. **Thomas** (00:11:12:10 - 00:11:23:07): Yeah. We're starting off in the Cayman Islands, baby. You just realized the Cayman Islands are breaking visitor records, and it's not just for money. Letters no more. **Chip** (00:11:23:09 - 00:11:28:09): No, it's for soul launderers. You want to go cleanse that soul? **Thomas** (00:11:28:09 - 00:11:28:21): Yeah. **Chip** (00:11:28:22 - 00:11:31:01): Go to the Caymans. It's the hot new thing. **Thomas** (00:11:31:01 - 00:11:40:22): I just had a buddy. A buddy came over for dinner this Friday and told me him and his family just got back from the Cayman Islands, and it is not to be slept on duty. **Chip** (00:11:40:22 - 00:11:44:04): Stay in a hotel. Was it a resort? Was it a, like a bungalow? **Thomas** (00:11:44:04 - 00:11:58:20): It was a hotel near the water. Okay. And he said the beaches were so clean that everybody was so nice. And he felt like they also have a, a daughter that's, you know, that basically born within a week of my daughter. Okay. It was perfect for kids. **Chip** (00:11:58:20 - 00:12:05:00): If you do have a toddler that has that needs a tax shelter. Yeah. Win win. **Thomas** (00:12:05:00 - 00:12:07:22): Or if you have a baby you haven't named yet, the little baby Cayman. **Chip** (00:12:07:23 - 00:12:09:13): Little baby Cayman is a. That's a good one. **Thomas** (00:12:09:15 - 00:12:10:19): Yeah. That's nice. **Chip** (00:12:10:19 - 00:12:18:15): I do like how he said how clean the beaches are. I like how one of the big drawing points there were like there like no seaweed here. **Thomas** (00:12:18:21 - 00:12:19:05): Yeah. **Chip** (00:12:19:06 - 00:12:36:11): No, no seaweed in the Caymans. And like. Yeah, something I didn't even think about. But then you take it away, you're like, yeah, I guess there's no seaweed there. And yeah, I guess maybe there are some of those islands that are just riddled. Riddled with seaweed. Yeah, I feel like it's a it's some Don Draper magic, though. **Thomas** (00:12:36:11 - 00:12:36:22): Yeah. **Chip** (00:12:36:23 - 00:12:41:01): It's like you take a problem that doesn't exist, and then you say you don't have it. **Thomas** (00:12:41:02 - 00:12:41:20): Exactly. **Chip** (00:12:41:21 - 00:12:47:11): This podcast now no longer with wild sharks attacking you. **Thomas** (00:12:47:13 - 00:12:47:20): Yeah. **Chip** (00:12:47:20 - 00:12:51:13): Oh, wow. You know, those other podcasts, you. I get attacked by a wild shark. **Thomas** (00:12:51:16 - 00:12:52:02): Yeah. **Chip** (00:12:52:07 - 00:12:55:10): We don't have those on this podcast, nor do we have seaweed. **Thomas** (00:12:55:11 - 00:12:59:12): You ever been on a real seaweed it out beach though I have. It stinks. **Chip** (00:12:59:13 - 00:13:10:13): Yes, it is it. Oh I will say the one, the seaweed one that it's like a rocky beach up in Maine. It does stink. It is cool though, because there's a lot of cool stuff to find. You find little crabs, a little other critters. **Thomas** (00:13:10:13 - 00:13:10:21): Yeah. You're you're. Always. You're always looking for treasures. Ship. **Chip** (00:13:15:01 - 00:13:22:09): Always looking for treasure. That's why I go to the Caymans so often. Because I got to leave my treasures there without Johnny Law being any of the wiser. **Thomas** (00:13:22:11 - 00:13:41:08): That's true too. So, the Cayman Islands had a record visitor numbers in early 2026, driven almost entirely by Americans looking to escape the winter. And, dude, 50,000 stay over visits in January alone. **Chip** (00:13:41:10 - 00:13:42:00): That's crazy. **Thomas** (00:13:42:01 - 00:13:43:04): This little island. Dude. **Chip** (00:13:43:04 - 00:13:50:14): I did see that, people from the Midwest seem to be taking, a big advantage that there's a lot of flights from, like, Chicago. **Thomas** (00:13:50:14 - 00:13:51:19): Detroit? Yeah. **Chip** (00:13:52:00 - 00:14:04:19): Can you imagine just the the Wizard of Oz, like tornado landing in the Land of Oz from going from Detroit to the Caymans. **Thomas** (00:14:04:21 - 00:14:10:03): That's what it's all about. It's kind of like living in Detroit and turning on the sunburnt podcast, you know what I mean? **Chip** (00:14:10:03 - 00:14:11:11): It really is. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:14:11:12 - 00:14:19:00): It's just you're completely transported. And I think it makes sense because I think if you look at a map like you go straight south from the Midwest. **Chip** (00:14:19:02 - 00:14:19:13): Okay. **Thomas** (00:14:19:15 - 00:14:38:09): And yet you keep going right past Cuba, you keep trucking along and you get to the Caymans. So I think, like, you know, some of my friends came from Los Angeles. And like, this travel is also engineered by somebody brilliant. Because all of a sudden, there's all these direct flights to the Cayman Islands where there did not used to be before. There is a once a week direct flight from Los Angeles to the Cayman Islands. That's also true of like, Fort Lauderdale, Detroit, and Chicago used to have like one. I think they like, have even more now. So like it's making it very accessible, especially to the Midwest where like, Hawaii is, you know, probably 2 or 3 hours further. Sure. Kind of feels like they're spending. **Chip** (00:15:01:21 - 00:15:04:16): Literally a little buried treasure right there underneath. **Thomas** (00:15:04:16 - 00:15:20:12): Cuba. I don't I don't know the club situation. Like, we have a real interesting, list of features. We look at for a in Paradise comedy. Stop. Yeah, but what would you think about doing, in Paradise? Stop in the Caymans, man. **Chip** (00:15:20:12 - 00:15:22:23): Cheap chatter in the Caymans. Oh, yeah. **Thomas** (00:15:23:01 - 00:15:27:01): I mean, we got 50,000 people visitors coming in a January. **Chip** (00:15:27:03 - 00:15:27:21): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:15:27:23 - 00:15:36:18): I mean, that means we can fill up at least, you know, a medium sized club. Hopefully there's going to be a bunch of chantry heads in that group. Yeah, a bunch of burnt ones. **Chip** (00:15:36:18 - 00:15:40:04): Big chant heads, burnt ones, living it up to the Caymans. **Thomas** (00:15:40:05 - 00:15:48:18): We'll have to look. We'll have to look into it. If there's a nice set up for, a comedy show in the Caymans. Because this place sounds unbelievable, man. And it wasn't on my radar. **Chip** (00:15:48:18 - 00:15:58:12): It is now, Thomas. It is now. It's my own mind, too. I'm gonna. I'm going to research. I'm going to do a deep dive into the Cayman Islands just to get ready for it, I think. I think that maybe that's the next one. We'll see. **Thomas** (00:15:58:14 - 00:16:02:01): I mean, if we need to go to, to find out, let's just do it. **Chip** (00:16:02:01 - 00:16:02:21): But let's do it. **Thomas** (00:16:02:21 - 00:16:06:02): Tell the wives we're having a good old Cayman bro down there. **Chip** (00:16:06:02 - 00:16:08:12): It just came and went. **Thomas** (00:16:08:14 - 00:16:16:06): All right, so next story you might want to think again before using that hotel coffeemaker chip. **Chip** (00:16:16:08 - 00:16:18:03): Right? This one makes me sad, Thomas. **Thomas** (00:16:18:03 - 00:16:29:09): It makes. It makes me sad, too, because, your boys used a lot of hotel coffee makers in my day, and I thought what you had to look out for was the remote chip. The remote and the. **Chip** (00:16:29:11 - 00:16:30:01): Yes. **Thomas** (00:16:30:03 - 00:16:32:15): The top. The top blanket. **Chip** (00:16:32:17 - 00:16:34:21): Right. The doomsday or what have you. **Thomas** (00:16:34:21 - 00:16:38:10): Yeah, because the remotes touched by human beings that are disgusting. **Chip** (00:16:38:13 - 00:16:39:10): Right. **Thomas** (00:16:39:12 - 00:17:01:07): And also the top blanket is touched by human beings and often not swapped out every visitor change over. So like I figured, you stay in the sheets. Yeah. Kind of are pretty careful with washing your hands. Disinfecting. I bring a little disinfectant everywhere. Because if you guys have seen the program before, we're both hypochondriacs. **Chip** (00:17:01:07 - 00:17:02:03): Yes, we are. **Thomas** (00:17:02:03 - 00:17:10:21): And because of our chosen professions, we spent a lot of time in hotel rooms. Yeah, and that comes with a protocol. We're not full, Howie Mandel. **Chip** (00:17:10:21 - 00:17:11:15): We're getting there. **Thomas** (00:17:11:21 - 00:17:15:05): Yeah. We go look at if we have enough money, I'll get real weird. **Chip** (00:17:15:07 - 00:17:35:10): By the way, not to not to foreshadow. I do have a little something for hypochondriac corner later on, if you want, but, Yeah, well, my my move is that I check into the room. Yeah, I look around, lock the doors. Yeah, wash my hands. And then I put the remote control in the microwave for 14 minutes. **Thomas** (00:17:35:11 - 00:17:36:07): Oh, okay. **Chip** (00:17:36:07 - 00:17:38:07): I have ruined a lot of remote controls. **Thomas** (00:17:38:07 - 00:17:44:09): Yeah, and, you know, it explains your, your travel scent, which is very different from your at home set. **Chip** (00:17:44:09 - 00:17:45:10): Yeah. Melted plastic. **Thomas** (00:17:45:11 - 00:17:46:14): Electrical fire. **Chip** (00:17:46:15 - 00:17:51:03): Electrical fire. **Thomas** (00:17:51:05 - 00:18:15:15): But multiple consumer health investigations are reporting the interim hotel coffee makers consistently test positive for bacteria, mold and mildew, despite being used by guests nearly every single morning. Researchers found that contamination in a majority of the machines tested with warm water damp reservoirs acting as a near perfect incubator for microbial growth between uses. **Chip** (00:18:15:15 - 00:18:21:16): I will say I do enjoy a little, little mildew, little mildew mocha every once in a while. **Thomas** (00:18:21:18 - 00:18:28:11): I, honest to God, think I've heard mildew coffee. Promoted on a podcast. **Chip** (00:18:28:13 - 00:18:37:02): I think that they're just it's guys in hotels and they like it. You take, you take a little mold spores, you put it on the top of the foam. Yeah. And you make it like. Like a little heart. **Thomas** (00:18:37:06 - 00:18:38:21): Not enough mildew are out there, so. **Chip** (00:18:38:22 - 00:18:43:13): We need to see more of it. Get some spores, get some paints. **Thomas** (00:18:43:15 - 00:19:01:02): Mill, don't stop putting art down in that coffee. The buried detail is running hot. Water through the machine does not sterilize the reservoir. No, the heat is not sufficient to kilowatts living in there. It just gives it a nice warm bath. **Chip** (00:19:01:04 - 00:19:07:22): Just some nice clean mold spores. Just ready to go jumping into my Sanka. **Thomas** (00:19:08:00 - 00:19:31:16): I mean, I think this is how the Last of Us started. Might have been actually just like, coffee maker in a hotel room. Yeah. There were also, unfortunately, some fringe reports of people using the hotel coffee makers to wash their undies and socks, buddy, running them through a cycle, which is, proof that your wife still snitchin chip. **Chip** (00:19:31:18 - 00:19:33:05): Look, I try to keep. 00:19:33:07 – 00:19:34:04 UNRESOLVED – What happens in the hotel room stays in the hotel room, but apparently not on her Instagram and Pinterest. 00:19:40:12 – 00:19:41:20 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. **Thomas** (00:19:41:22 - 00:19:49:07): And I think she did do a couple of, of interviews with these various, various publications, show various news outlets. **Chip** (00:19:49:07 - 00:19:52:07): Yeah, I, I had to do a lot of PR work after that. **Thomas** (00:19:52:08 - 00:20:00:05): All right, buddy, we're keeping it moving. And 92 year old Hollywood legend just publicly roasted Sydney Sweeney's body chip. **Chip** (00:20:00:07 - 00:20:04:21): I mean, if you're going to be 92 and just go after somebody cool after Sydney Sweeney, that's what I always say. **Thomas** (00:20:04:21 - 00:20:13:17): Why not? And probably probably go after for Lux, I say, yeah, that's what's going to get you, a. **Chip** (00:20:13:17 - 00:20:19:00): Win, especially when you're 92 years old and look like Terrance and or Phillip. **Thomas** (00:20:19:02 - 00:20:35:10): Lee. It, it gets, it gets tougher. It gets tougher as you get older. The Vertigo actress Kim Novak publicly told the times she would never have approved the casting of Sydney Sweeney to play her in the upcoming film scandalous, which will be directed by Colman Domingo. **Chip** (00:20:35:10 - 00:20:35:19): Here we go. **Thomas** (00:20:35:22 - 00:20:40:01): The film covers Novak's real life relationship with Sammy Davis Jr. **Chip** (00:20:40:02 - 00:20:52:05): Well, I mean, I will say this. I think that Sydney Sweeney and again, no offense to her as an actress. Yeah. Or as a human being, she was the wrong choice to play Sammy Davis Jr. And you. **Thomas** (00:20:52:05 - 00:20:55:07): Know what? It's mostly the accent. **Chip** (00:20:55:09 - 00:20:58:11): I think that's what it is. That's that's what really gets me. **Thomas** (00:20:58:14 - 00:21:21:08): Is gonna be a problem. Novak had already expressed concerns about the film itself last year, telling the Guardian she didn't think the relationship was scandalous, but now she has escalated things by critiquing Sydney's physical appearance. And I think she was saying something along the lines of Sydney's looks. It's not like they're bad, but they would just be distracting. Probably. **Chip** (00:21:22:00 - 00:21:26:18): Yes. I think that she was. It was almost like she's like too sexy. That's kind of what she was saying. **Thomas** (00:21:27:00 - 00:21:32:00): What was the SNL equivalent of this? Wasn't it, mango that people would be like, oh, too sexy, so sexy? **Chip** (00:21:32:01 - 00:21:33:11): I think so. 00:21:33:13 – 00:21:34:04 UNRESOLVED – Yeah. **Thomas** (00:21:34:06 - 00:21:35:15): Nobody can touch the mango. **Chip** (00:21:35:15 - 00:21:43:19): Which is weird because Sydney Sweeney is playing Sammy Davis Jr. And Chris Kattan is playing Kim Novak. Wow. So small world. **Thomas** (00:21:43:19 - 00:22:14:17): Well, I think the whole cast is too sexy that like, this is this is an issue. Like you think about Sammy Davis Jr with Sydney Sweeney's physique. I mean I get it. That could throw somebody right. That could throw somebody. But here's a question chip. Would you have an issue with somebody with a, you know, a notable physical asset playing you in a biopic specifically, longitude, the viral sensation dog Max length? Lord, would you be upset if longitude played you in a movie about Chip Chance's life? **Chip** (00:22:21:18 - 00:22:25:12): I think it would be distracting, especially during the tennis scenes. **Thomas** (00:22:25:14 - 00:22:26:16): Yeah. **Chip** (00:22:26:18 - 00:22:31:04): But other than that, I say go for it. **Thomas** (00:22:31:06 - 00:22:35:20): Longitude. The runway is open. You can play Chip Chantry in the biopic. **Chip** (00:22:36:02 - 00:22:36:15): We got it. **Thomas** (00:22:36:15 - 00:22:44:20): And if you don't think there's going to be a lot of tennis, it's longitude. Chip Chantry, play D3 tennis, baby. **Chip** (00:22:44:20 - 00:22:46:16): You have at least a d6. **Thomas** (00:22:46:18 - 00:22:57:17): Yeah, you're going to have to dial back the DS to play Chip Chantry. But we think you've got the chops to do it. Longitude. You're doing great things on the internet. And come on the podcast. **Chip** (00:22:57:19 - 00:22:58:07): Come see us. **Thomas** (00:22:58:11 - 00:23:05:20): Come hang out with us. Like you don't have to accept the offer, but at least you know to play the role. But at least talk to us about the project. **Chip** (00:23:05:20 - 00:23:07:02): Let's have a little tete a tete. **Thomas** (00:23:07:02 - 00:23:11:15): I think it'll be good. I think it'll be good. Can you imagine longitude playing you chip? **Chip** (00:23:11:16 - 00:23:13:10): I love it, I love it. I mean, I. **Thomas** (00:23:13:10 - 00:23:15:21): Mean, he's huge on the internet and everywhere else. **Chip** (00:23:15:21 - 00:23:17:12): He's huge everywhere. Thomas. **Thomas** (00:23:17:15 - 00:23:36:06): All right, we're staying in the world of celebrity news. Chip, this is almost, I guess this is right in the Kim Novak era here. Did you know that you can literally sleep in Frank Sinatra's Palm Springs house for less than a hotel room? **Chip** (00:23:36:08 - 00:23:39:12): Wow. And I bet his coffee maker is pretty clean. **Thomas** (00:23:39:13 - 00:23:48:07): And you'll finally get the answer to that question you've been longing for. Did old blue Eyes have a bathroom fan? **Chip** (00:23:48:09 - 00:23:51:22): There's. There's a summer wind I don't want to know about right now. **Thomas** (00:23:52:00 - 00:24:13:05): There's an article out about nine properties once owned or lived in by major cultural figures including Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Jane Austen, Sonny and Cher, the Fitzgeralds and Giant Stein or John Steinbeck that are currently bookable on Airbnb. B chip I love an Airbnb celebrity pad. **Chip** (00:24:13:08 - 00:24:18:18): Why did it take this long? It's just bring Netflix and Airbnb together. That's what I say. **Thomas** (00:24:18:23 - 00:24:24:23): It really is. And, I do like to watch a little Netflix in an Airbnb. So one of my favorite things to do at home. **Chip** (00:24:25:04 - 00:24:30:05): Especially when it's maybe featuring one of the stars that used to live in that house. **Thomas** (00:24:30:05 - 00:24:31:08): Oh my gosh, can you. **Chip** (00:24:31:12 - 00:24:33:02): Watch a bit of a conjuring? **Thomas** (00:24:33:04 - 00:24:40:08): Yeah. Can you imagine watching The Mask in Cher's house. **Chip** (00:24:40:10 - 00:24:42:15): Which was Cher in the mask? **Thomas** (00:24:42:17 - 00:24:45:12): I not the Jim Carrey mask. **Chip** (00:24:45:14 - 00:24:48:22): Oh, you took a mask. Oh, the movie mask. Yes, yes. Yeah. 00:24:49:00 – 00:24:49:17 UNRESOLVED – Yes. I was going to say I don't I don't think Cher was in in the smoking vehicle. **Thomas** (00:24:54:22 - 00:24:55:05): Yeah. **Chip** (00:24:55:06 - 00:24:59:22): Oh, yes. Watching the movie mask. Yes. The Eric Stoltz vehicle. **Thomas** (00:24:59:22 - 00:25:04:02): Yes. I said that incorrectly. Somebody stop me. 00:25:04:03 – 00:25:09:02 UNRESOLVED – Yes. Oh. The net listing spanned roughly 175 years of history from Jane Austen's 1800s English cottage all the way to Sinatra's 1970s era Palm Spring compound. 00:25:20:08 – 00:25:22:00 UNRESOLVED – The timing is deliberate. This article is dropping straight into travel planning season, writing the experimental travel wave where people want a story to tell, not just a room to sleep in. And the best part is, apparently these aren't like, museum level cast experiences. They're kind of, like, comparable, like Airbnb, is there? Not like a huge markup. It just happens to be, a drawing asset to try and get that room book. **Chip** (00:25:47:19 - 00:25:51:14): It's just a ranch house that Ving Rhames used to live in. **Thomas** (00:25:51:16 - 00:25:52:16): Yeah, that's. **Chip** (00:25:52:20 - 00:26:00:18): Just a two story story, colonial. That flow from the progressive ads. Spent a summer. **Thomas** (00:26:00:20 - 00:26:06:01): Man. Right. Do you imagine staying in flow flows? Colonial? **Chip** (00:26:06:02 - 00:26:09:13): I, I, I think I think I learned a lot about insurance. **Thomas** (00:26:09:13 - 00:26:11:10): Those commercials are always so informative. **Chip** (00:26:11:10 - 00:26:15:16): I just saw flow on Mad Man the other day. I was watching an old episode of Mad Men, and she popped up. **Thomas** (00:26:15:16 - 00:26:22:18): This is not a joke. I think flow might be in my mother's top five, list of female actors of all time. **Chip** (00:26:22:19 - 00:26:23:14): She's very talented. **Thomas** (00:26:23:17 - 00:26:32:05): She's very talented. And she said she doesn't have that disgusting, curvy, distracting look, some actresses say. **Chip** (00:26:32:07 - 00:26:36:21): Your your mother is is firmly in the Kim Novak camp is what you're. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:26:36:23 - 00:26:38:12): Yeah, yeah, I got this. **Chip** (00:26:38:15 - 00:26:40:03): That's one reason I appreciate her. **Thomas** (00:26:40:03 - 00:26:43:14): She can't stop talking about it. The woman hates curves. **Chip** (00:26:43:16 - 00:26:45:16): Yeah, she really does. **Thomas** (00:26:45:16 - 00:27:01:16): So, Chip, you've done your fair share of questionable travel. As we talked about on this podcast, what house would you want to stand? Sinatra, Elizabeth, Elizabeth Taylor, Jane Austen, Sonny and Cher, the Fitzgeralds or John Steinbeck's house. **Chip** (00:27:01:18 - 00:27:05:12): I gotta go, the Fitzgeralds, baby. Okay, little f, Scott and Zelda. **Thomas** (00:27:05:12 - 00:27:06:00): Yeah. **Chip** (00:27:06:02 - 00:27:15:12): You know, they had some swinging Great Gatsby flappers parties there. Yeah, that you're just going to, again, not going to use the pool. **Thomas** (00:27:15:14 - 00:27:16:02): Yeah, we. **Chip** (00:27:16:05 - 00:27:18:04): We all know how that turns out. **Thomas** (00:27:18:06 - 00:27:18:15): Yeah. **Chip** (00:27:18:20 - 00:27:23:01): That's a little joke. Without spoiling a joke for any F Scott Fitzgerald fans. **Thomas** (00:27:23:03 - 00:27:32:09): Yeah. If you're an F Scott Fitzgerald fan and that, spoiled you in 2026, maybe you got a look at your, fandom. **Chip** (00:27:32:09 - 00:27:35:21): If you're an angry f Scott head right now. Not my problem. 00:27:36:01 – 00:27:36:19 UNRESOLVED – But I think also the, the swing in Sinatra compound has to be great. **Thomas** (00:27:44:04 - 00:27:44:12): Dude. **Chip** (00:27:44:12 - 00:28:04:14): And here's the thing. Very piano related. Like, yeah, like the piano shaped pool. Piano. I'm sorry. Did did he play piano? I don't think he did. No. Maybe tickle the ivories a little bit, but I don't. I can't picture Frank Sinatra. And again, no, I'm not a huge Sinatra guy. I know. Yes, but I don't think he played piano. **Thomas** (00:28:04:15 - 00:28:10:19): I would be willing to bet that he had, slammed more piano players than piano keys. You know what I mean? **Chip** (00:28:10:19 - 00:28:15:04): He tickled a lot of ivories, is what you're saying. And next point. **Thomas** (00:28:15:06 - 00:28:16:02): Next point. **Chip** (00:28:16:02 - 00:28:18:07): Where would you say Thomas? **Thomas** (00:28:18:08 - 00:28:22:16): Oh, that's a good question. I don't know, maybe. Maybe Jane Austen's. Okay. I could just be at a nice cottage, but, if I was there with my wife, she'd be having a good time. You know, she'd be, like, Sensing and Sensibility thing right here. You get a lot of points as a husband. **Chip** (00:28:37:15 - 00:28:40:04): All of my favorite comics have moved to Jane Austen. 00:28:40:04 – 00:28:43:01 UNRESOLVED – Yes. **Thomas** (00:28:43:03 - 00:28:48:15): Which is ironic that she is the home base of the manosphere. **Chip** (00:28:48:18 - 00:28:59:18): She really is. But, hey. And hey, I will say this. If you get to if you stay at Jane Austen's house, there's a chance you will be a guest on a high profile podcast. **Thomas** (00:28:59:18 - 00:29:11:11): Or you can call the Trouble in Paradise Hotline and get your voice on this podcast for free. Keepin it movin, buddy. Dude, have you seen Paradise? Have you watching Paradise? **Chip** (00:29:11:11 - 00:29:12:06): I have not. **Thomas** (00:29:12:09 - 00:29:16:06): Paradise just had its finale. It just it just aired this week. **Chip** (00:29:16:06 - 00:29:17:16): And this is on Hulu. Is that right? **Thomas** (00:29:17:21 - 00:29:52:21): This is on Hulu. Outside on line went in. It's like, the story is about basically an apocalyptic, apocalyptic situation where a volcano goes off and throws the world into chaos and they follow a bunch of different threads of people through this time period in the world, and one of them is played by Shailene Woodley. Okay. And kind of the the idea this article is posing is that she was able to sustain herself on baked beans alone, specifically Bush's baked beans. **Chip** (00:29:52:22 - 00:29:54:09): Yeah, a little shout out for them. **Thomas** (00:29:54:14 - 00:30:06:20): So this publication went and did a deep dive into the full nutritional breakdown of what would actually happen to your body if you survived an apocalypse by eating just beans. **Chip** (00:30:06:20 - 00:30:11:02): Let's just say there's probably some volcanoes within you. 00:30:11:04 – 00:30:12:02 UNRESOLVED – **Thomas** (00:30:12:04 - 00:30:44:23): Absolutely. So, like the article was published on March 27th, timing it perfectly with the finale. Okay. And, it gets so granular, dude. They go in two different bean varieties, their vitamin profiles, what deficiencies would kick in and when? Sure, it gets pretty, you know, pretty grim. But, I guess the question I have for you, Chip, is if you had to pick one food to survive on for six months, that was like, you know, nonperishable enough to get you through. What, are you going left, buddy? **Chip** (00:30:47:03 - 00:30:49:15): Hotel room coffee? 00:30:49:17 – 00:30:50:19 UNRESOLVED – That's. Because you're getting a lot more than just caffeine. **Thomas** (00:30:53:13 - 00:30:58:17): Yeah, you're you're getting, a lot of, nutrients, as Nacho Libra would say. **Chip** (00:30:58:17 - 00:31:00:12): You're building up a tolerance. **Thomas** (00:31:00:12 - 00:31:00:23): Yeah. **Chip** (00:31:01:04 - 00:31:03:02): How about you? Well, what's your what's your go to? **Thomas** (00:31:03:06 - 00:31:19:18): It's not much better than the baked beans theory. Like it's going to be a, Hormel turkey chili or mint. No. Maybe a gnarly turkey chili. Okay, going with a gnarly turkey chili with beans. It's going to have, a little bit of meat popped in there. It's on program. **Chip** (00:31:19:20 - 00:31:20:16): It is? **Thomas** (00:31:20:18 - 00:31:36:05): Yeah, it's it's not bad. It's not bad. I could get by on that for a long time, I think. Right. But I was thinking about it. Not. Not a lot of great options for me when I think of, like, when I want to play that game, the food you would eat if you could only eat one thing. Perish ability. It never really comes into play there. **Chip** (00:31:39:17 - 00:31:46:10): Right? You're thinking this is like a Paradise, a literal Paradise situation where you just always have it refrigerated or whatever your. **Thomas** (00:31:46:10 - 00:32:07:13): Favorite restaurant is delivering this version of a meal. But. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Chili, I mean, and it's it's not beautiful is like, is there anything like surviving the apocalypse just to share a teeny tiny, windowless bunker with a bunch of people only eating bean heavy diets? **Chip** (00:32:07:13 - 00:32:08:21): I'd rather the rapture come. **Thomas** (00:32:08:23 - 00:32:14:16): All right, up next story. Americans just called Paris overrated for food. **Chip** (00:32:14:16 - 00:32:18:23): Wow. That comes from a nation of people who are watching a show about somebody just eating beans for a month. **Thomas** (00:32:18:23 - 00:32:31:00): I know, dude, the Matador network is reporting that American tourists have ranked Paris, Rome, Amsterdam and Barcelona among the most overrated food cities in all of Europe. **Chip** (00:32:31:00 - 00:32:33:21): Sounds like America is getting pretty picky right now. **Thomas** (00:32:33:22 - 00:32:37:21): They also asked people to name the most overrated. **Chip** (00:32:37:21 - 00:32:39:17): So yeah, so they're being put on the spot. **Thomas** (00:32:39:17 - 00:32:51:06): Yeah, yeah. And it's just because they're overrated doesn't mean they're not great, I would guess. But specifically, I think Parisians are finding this offensive. It's the city that literally invented the Michelin star. **Chip** (00:32:51:07 - 00:32:57:03): They're getting slammed by people who pull up to chick fil A and get mad that it's Sunday. 00:32:57:05 – 00:32:58:07 UNRESOLVED – **Thomas** (00:32:58:22 - 00:33:07:14): Guilty as charged. Yeah. But, dude, how do you feel about French food? Dude, do you think this is, fair critique in any way? **Chip** (00:33:07:16 - 00:33:13:20): Okay. So first of all, I gonna be honest, I've never been to France. Okay, okay. Now, I spent about two hours in the airport in Paris. **Thomas** (00:33:14:02 - 00:33:14:12): Okay. **Chip** (00:33:14:14 - 00:33:17:04): Never left the airport. But, you know, I was there. **Thomas** (00:33:17:05 - 00:33:18:19): Let peanut butter M&M. **Chip** (00:33:18:19 - 00:33:25:03): Yeah, I got one of those. This is terrible. You should know what they are. What are those? The little cookies, the little, like, sponge cookies, the different color ones. **Thomas** (00:33:25:03 - 00:33:27:11): Oh, macaroons. **Chip** (00:33:27:13 - 00:33:31:03): That create something like that. Yeah. Had some of those, and they were delicious. **Thomas** (00:33:31:05 - 00:33:32:06): Macaroon. Nice. **Chip** (00:33:32:08 - 00:33:38:16): But, yeah, I would say that French fruit food. I think it's like, just because it's small doesn't mean it's great. I was, like. **Thomas** (00:33:38:21 - 00:33:41:20): Kind of underwhelmed by the Paris food myself. **Chip** (00:33:41:22 - 00:33:42:11): Right? Okay. **Thomas** (00:33:42:11 - 00:34:00:03): The straight up French food, like the bistros and stuff, like, I, I did a bunch of research before I went, and like, I got a reservation at, like, a place that, you know, like Napoleon used to eat at. It's like one of the I forget the name of it, but like, they have just like a bunch of, Coco Von and all that stuff, right? I was not super thrilled, but there were a lot of other foods that I really did enjoy, like, steak frites. Went to the steak frites place. Okay, you go to this restaurant, you sit down and, like, the question isn't, what do you want to eat? The question is, do you want red white wine or like, water? Okay. Because they only serve steak frites. Yep. **Chip** (00:34:22:12 - 00:34:26:14): That's it. Hey, do one thing and do it. Well, that's what I mean. **Thomas** (00:34:26:14 - 00:34:43:16): And the line was around the block. This place was huge and it was poppin and it was probably my favorite meal. There was another place called Deuce Falafel, which was like, you know, just hummus and pita sandwiches. And it was absolutely an unbelievable love. **Chip** (00:34:43:16 - 00:34:47:23): A good falafel love, a good falafel. Do you guys have do you guys have mouths, falafels out in L.A.? **Thomas** (00:34:48:00 - 00:34:49:12): Yeah, I've never heard of it. **Chip** (00:34:49:14 - 00:34:53:20): I never heard of them. I think they were from Europe. The best got so good. **Thomas** (00:34:53:22 - 00:35:00:06): Also had had a I went to a fondue restaurant. Never had fondue before in my life. **Chip** (00:35:00:08 - 00:35:07:10): I think I've always wanted this. What were the dipping sauces that you were fun. Fun doing and fun. Don't. **Thomas** (00:35:07:12 - 00:35:08:15): Just cheese it. **Chip** (00:35:08:15 - 00:35:09:10): Just cheese. That's it. **Thomas** (00:35:09:10 - 00:35:20:19): Yeah. Just cheese. I, if I'm remembering correctly, like. Yeah, we you pick. What kind of fun do you want? Like based on what you're going to dip in it more or less not what you're dipping it into. **Chip** (00:35:20:21 - 00:35:25:21): I would always just go chocolate. That's that's me. But. **Thomas** (00:35:25:23 - 00:35:58:03): The thing that was like it was, resistance de la fondue, I think, was the name of the restaurant, if I remember correctly. And, the big differentiating factor there was, they serve you wine in a baby bottle chip, like, oh, full on with a nap, and you're just because they were tired of people coming in late night and, reaching for, you know, to fondue their stuff and knocking the wine over and spilling it all over the place. So they make everybody drink out of baby bottles to avoid that catastrophe. **Chip** (00:36:03:07 - 00:36:23:05): That's incredible. Yeah. That's just they they just they were done sweeping up glass and, Yeah. Need to do something about this. Let's go down to the Pampers factory. Get. See, that's why the French, they're a little bit. They're a little bit better than us. They got a little air about them, but man, they know they're doing. **Thomas** (00:36:23:09 - 00:36:40:16): They've had a little bit longer to, figure out who they are as a culture, you know what I mean? But, that being said, like that, you know, there was a lot of messes, man. A lot of messes for me. Maybe I ordered wrong. Maybe it's just not to my liking, but. Yeah, those those were the highlights. There were some great meals, but overall, I don't know. I don't know, man. **Chip** (00:36:45:08 - 00:36:54:21): You always. I mean, I will say you did go into those a lot of those very fancy French restaurants and just ordered the tuna melt. Yeah. It seems like you could have branched out a bit. **Thomas** (00:36:54:23 - 00:36:59:22): Well no no no no no, you judge a restaurant based off of a base line item. **Chip** (00:37:00:00 - 00:37:02:13): Okay? And yours is yours. Is the tuna melt? **Thomas** (00:37:02:15 - 00:37:09:20): Yeah. In a lot of these places, stock the tuna melts stock. They were crap. 00:37:09:22 – 00:37:10:00 UNRESOLVED – To. **Chip** (00:37:10:03 - 00:37:11:11): Thumbs down. **Thomas** (00:37:11:12 - 00:37:24:21): To those out. All right. That's it for for the algo. For the algo. Oh, boy. We are just cruising along on it. So we're going to take a little stop in a hypochondriac corner. What do you got for us? Yep. **Chip** (00:37:24:21 - 00:37:26:10): This is a good and bad one. **Thomas** (00:37:26:10 - 00:37:27:15): Okay, okay. **Chip** (00:37:27:17 - 00:37:30:17): So okay, let me start out by saying this. **Thomas** (00:37:30:23 - 00:37:31:12): Yep. **Chip** (00:37:31:14 - 00:37:34:11): Last night the wife and I. Big night out for the wife and I. **Thomas** (00:37:34:15 - 00:37:35:03): Nice. **Chip** (00:37:35:09 - 00:37:38:07): We walked down to the diner as we do. Speaking of tuna melts. **Thomas** (00:37:38:10 - 00:37:40:05): Drink and drink in hand. Road dog in. **Chip** (00:37:40:05 - 00:38:01:11): It, road dog and it drinks in hand. Who walk down to the diner, had our meal and then stopped by the little strip mall. That's it's this long. It's sort of like a square strip mall. It's a big place right next to where? Where the diner is that my wife had never walked through before. So we go, we clock a goodwill store. **Thomas** (00:38:01:13 - 00:38:02:06): Yeah. **Chip** (00:38:02:08 - 00:38:04:08): Who doesn't love a good, good, good will store? **Thomas** (00:38:04:08 - 00:38:06:04): I mean, it's nice if you're thrift and maybe. **Chip** (00:38:06:07 - 00:38:08:13): You want some $5 pants. We got them. **Thomas** (00:38:08:18 - 00:38:13:20): Oh, if you're looking for a new Hawaiian, a new old Hawaiian. Oh, you know, they're inside. **Chip** (00:38:13:22 - 00:38:22:03): Oh, Thomas. That's exact. Somebody just paid 4.99 for a brand new Hawaiian last night. This guy. **Thomas** (00:38:22:03 - 00:38:25:05): Really? Can we describe it? Break it down? **Chip** (00:38:25:07 - 00:38:42:23): Yeah, it's more of a rather than, like your traditional, like, you know, Hawaiian. Yeah. Aloha shirt or whatever. It's it's much more. I forget the name. It's definitely a name that I've heard, like a brand name that I've heard before. And it's much more muted, like it's more of a let it picture, almost like an Old Navy version of it. Do you mean like a little more muted? It's not like I think there are pineapples on it, which hey, could be the wrong message, but some. **Thomas** (00:38:49:14 - 00:38:52:08): Pineapple, something or maybe that's the right message, you know. **Chip** (00:38:52:10 - 00:38:53:14): Hey, we don't know how many. **Thomas** (00:38:53:14 - 00:38:55:08): Road dogs have you had, is the question. **Chip** (00:38:55:14 - 00:39:07:06): Exactly. But, I will say this, I went against the grain. I was going to try, but it's 4.99. It's a little snug on me. Just a little. **Thomas** (00:39:07:06 - 00:39:08:05): Snug. Right? **Chip** (00:39:08:05 - 00:39:10:18): Which is just the motivation this guy needs. **Thomas** (00:39:10:20 - 00:39:11:16): Goal to. **Chip** (00:39:11:17 - 00:39:17:04): Fit perfectly into that Hawaiian. By the summertime. **Thomas** (00:39:17:06 - 00:39:18:09): I mean, there we go. **Chip** (00:39:18:09 - 00:39:27:02): Dude, I'm not going to step on the scale every morning. I'm just going to slip on the Hawaiian and see how tight that TK Tugger is. **Thomas** (00:39:27:04 - 00:39:30:03): See if those titties are popping exactly. **Chip** (00:39:30:03 - 00:39:30:14): Yes. **Thomas** (00:39:30:14 - 00:39:32:13): TC Tiger's on a joke, Chip. **Chip** (00:39:32:15 - 00:39:40:01): They're not a joke. You don't make fun of them. You don't do crawls with them like snuggies. That's not what they are. That's like they're for. **Thomas** (00:39:40:03 - 00:39:55:23): That commercial we're talking about. I think you should leave, that commercial within there where it's like, got the theme song and all those dudes are this. Those larger gentlemen are tugging it, and it's like one, two, three. Now you're hanging with the big boys. 00:39:56:01 – 00:39:56:16 UNRESOLVED – Like. It's just so good. That's exactly if this was a product that existed. That's exactly the commercial they'd make for it. Yes. They really have their finger on the pulse of what, society would be doing if we were slightly unhinged. **Chip** (00:40:09:09 - 00:40:13:11): If we were just sitting around eating a month's worth of baked beans. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:40:13:11 - 00:40:14:08): Yeah, dude. **Chip** (00:40:14:09 - 00:40:19:11): So anyway, the part of that motivation is because I've been working out. I've been working out a little bit more. **Thomas** (00:40:19:17 - 00:40:20:07): Yeah. **Chip** (00:40:20:09 - 00:40:33:23): But it's, you know, that that long winter where I wasn't doing much, and now I'm working out again. But the hypochondriac in me comes out where it's. I feel these pains now. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, is that an inside pain or an outside pain? **Thomas** (00:40:34:01 - 00:40:34:18): Yeah. **Chip** (00:40:34:20 - 00:40:55:17): Yeah. It's like, oh, wow. Do I have appendicitis? No, you just did a whole lot of aerobic exercises and you didn't stretch out. So now your muscles are a little tight. And so, so I'm playing a big, game this week of inside outside pain. Is that inside pain inside my organs, or is that just. Do I just need a stretchy stretch that old. There's old abs out, and, you know, I've been stretching stretchy, stretching a little bit more, and I think it's working out for me. **Thomas** (00:41:01:14 - 00:41:26:07): I've got hit. Right. Exactly in your balls. I by, an ad or like a video on lot like in my feet. I'm scrolling through and there's just a man, not a doctor, but dressed up like a doctor going, if you have any little pains over here. We all know that's most likely, a liver issue or a gallbladder issue. Yeah, but if you squeeze over here and the pain goes away, good news. That might just be a colon obstruction. And I was just like, the three options are your liver or your gallbladder, which I don't know what a gallbladder does. **Chip** (00:41:44:02 - 00:41:48:21): Yeah. I think it's it's basically like the catalytic converter of your body. **Thomas** (00:41:48:23 - 00:41:53:23): That's why they're always trying to steal them in those bathtubs in Mexico. **Chip** (00:41:54:01 - 00:41:54:06): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:41:54:06 - 00:42:09:17): But the three options are if you have a pain over here, not that you slept weird but that you've been carrying around a toddler. Just on your right side. It's probably your liver's done, your gallbladder is cooked, or maybe your colon's having a sleepover. **Chip** (00:42:09:17 - 00:42:11:05): Best case scenario. **Thomas** (00:42:11:05 - 00:42:16:05): Invited two eyes to just stay the night. You know. **Chip** (00:42:16:07 - 00:42:28:05): Way too much. Way too much. So, I'm going to keep working out and hopefully just get less and less sore as my body's getting used to it, and I have less. And less feelings that, Oh, my pancreas is going to explode. **Thomas** (00:42:28:07 - 00:42:33:07): Yeah, dude. And, big prayers out to Chip's pancreas. Hopefully we keep that thing intact. **Chip** (00:42:33:10 - 00:42:34:04): Boom. **Thomas** (00:42:34:06 - 00:42:40:05): Well, Chip, that's it for hypochondriac Carter. It's time to talk about the man, buddy. You've got a buffet back, baby. **Chip** (00:42:40:11 - 00:42:51:17): Eskimos apparently have over 50 words for snow. Jimmy Buffett never even heard of snow. **Thomas** (00:42:51:19 - 00:42:56:01): And that man made his livelihood with words of vocabulary. **Chip** (00:42:56:01 - 00:42:58:09): Baby, he didn't need a single one of them. **Thomas** (00:42:58:09 - 00:43:00:18): Do you feel something bubbling? **Chip** (00:43:00:20 - 00:43:01:13): I think I do. **Thomas** (00:43:01:16 - 00:43:03:15): Do you feel something sloshing around? **Chip** (00:43:03:15 - 00:43:05:02): Yeah. Just a moving, moving, moving. **Thomas** (00:43:05:03 - 00:43:24:00): It's time for the fish of the week. Fish of the week. Our hero of the deep. Every week we talk about one saltwater superstar that we have named. It's climb the Gantlet. It's beat out every other fish this week to become the sunburnt podcast fish of the week. **Chip** (00:43:24:00 - 00:43:33:18): Our fish of the week. This week Thomas is here. He comes. Put him up on the screen right now. Gerald the fantail file fish. **Thomas** (00:43:33:20 - 00:43:37:09): Oh, look at that fish. Look at that horn, buddy. **Chip** (00:43:37:11 - 00:43:44:19): Look at this butte. I'm going to be honest with you, Thomas. This fish of the week for the first time really is making me nervous. **Thomas** (00:43:44:21 - 00:43:45:18): Really? Why? **Chip** (00:43:45:18 - 00:43:53:01): So I am a little uneasy dealing with Gerald here. Okay? Because first of all, look at him. Gorgeous. **Thomas** (00:43:53:04 - 00:43:53:14): Yeah. **Chip** (00:43:53:14 - 00:44:19:07): Tan body, black spots, yellow dorsal fins, orange tail. I mean, he he looks like the sofa in your Aunt Donna's basement rumpus room. You know what I mean? He looks like here's what he looks like. He looks like in a high school production of Guys and Dolls. When they want a girl to look like a floozy. Yeah, like they can't really dress her up like a prostitute because she's a high school girl. So, like, just wear a bunch of mismatched loud colors and you're going to look promiscuous. That's what Gerald looks like. It's just he's got spots, he's got stripes. He's got colors. **Thomas** (00:44:31:12 - 00:44:32:05): Yeah. **Chip** (00:44:32:07 - 00:44:49:11): Now, here's the thing. Gerald's a little shy, even despite all those colors. You a little shy. But then out of nowhere, he can just snap. Just snap and become aggressive against other fish out of nowhere. And Thomas, you want to guess what the other fish are that he he gets aggressive against? **Thomas** (00:44:49:13 - 00:44:52:02): Oh, bullies. **Chip** (00:44:52:04 - 00:45:00:08): Its other file fish. Thomas is really his own kind. He just flips out on just goes after. Oh, okay. **Thomas** (00:45:00:10 - 00:45:02:16): Come on. Can't we all just get along? **Chip** (00:45:02:18 - 00:45:22:02): Thomas? Gerald is like that little cousin you had growing up. That was a little bit younger than you. And, like, he was an indoor kid, he did a lot more arts and crafts instead of playing sports. But now he's 21 years old. And for the first time, you go out to the bar with him and he gets up bars and, and then all of a sudden, he just wants to fight the entire bar. And you're wearing this guy come from. That's Gerald. That is Cousin Gerald right there. **Thomas** (00:45:27:04 - 00:45:30:21): Gerald. Come on, keep it together, bud. We're just trying to have a good time. **Chip** (00:45:30:23 - 00:45:36:15): Yeah, if you want to look for Gerald. Gerald mostly hangs out. Very jealous. Thomas. He hangs up mostly in Hawaii. **Thomas** (00:45:36:17 - 00:45:39:02): Oh. Come on. Yeah, that's a great spot. **Chip** (00:45:39:04 - 00:45:51:13): But here's the thing. He hangs out in the outskirts on those reefs. Anywhere from, like, 20 to, like, 200ft deep on the reefs on the outskirt islands. You're not going to find Gerald hanging out at Duke's in Waikiki. **Thomas** (00:45:51:18 - 00:45:52:20): No. **Chip** (00:45:52:22 - 00:45:54:18): He's a little more off the grid. A lot of. **Thomas** (00:45:54:18 - 00:46:00:13): Cool kids like to be off the off the beaten path. They don't want the hustle and bustle. Gerald, I get it. Paradise your own way. **Chip** (00:46:00:13 - 00:46:07:04): Do it now. Gerald is only about seven inches long, but that is seven inches of quiet fury. **Thomas** (00:46:07:06 - 00:46:07:17): Which is a. **Chip** (00:46:07:21 - 00:46:10:11): Nickname that I tried in college that never stuck. **Thomas** (00:46:10:11 - 00:46:20:15): By the way. Longitude. Yeah, that's the name of the biopic seven Inches of Quiet Fury. You're going to have to do some metamorphosis sizing to become right for this part. **Chip** (00:46:20:17 - 00:46:30:04): Yes, yes. Now, Gerald feeds mostly on algae. Seaweed. Don't go to the Caymans. Apparently you don't have any seaweed. **Thomas** (00:46:30:05 - 00:46:32:07): Oh, Gerald, you're going to starve. **Chip** (00:46:32:08 - 00:46:40:20): I know he mostly eats crustaceans. Small crustaceans, like krill. But, Thomas, you cross him and he will eat your soul. **Thomas** (00:46:41:02 - 00:46:42:03): Really? **Chip** (00:46:42:04 - 00:47:03:09): It's how wild this guy go. Okay. Wow. Yeah. Okay, here's my favorite part about Gerald and his fellow fantail file. Fish. Yeah. You know, a lot of fish out there in the ocean. They use their tail, and they move that tail to propel them through the ocean. Right? Yeah. Swimming how they do it, right? Yeah. He doesn't really use his tail too much. Really. Just uses his little, little tiny dorsal fins and something called anal fins, which I thought were nice. **Thomas** (00:47:09:14 - 00:47:10:17): Oh, yeah. **Chip** (00:47:10:18 - 00:47:17:12): But these little dorsal fins that he just kind of flips along to kind of quietly and slowly move along where he's like, really kind of like dog paddle in and out there. **Thomas** (00:47:17:15 - 00:47:18:12): Yeah. **Chip** (00:47:18:13 - 00:47:32:00): And I think what happens is some of the other fish make fun of him for doing. Yeah. And that's when he just he just loses it. Okay. I mean Thomas, have you ever seen a saltwater curb stopping. **Thomas** (00:47:32:02 - 00:47:33:06): No. **Chip** (00:47:33:08 - 00:47:35:08): Gerald will show you if you cross it. **Thomas** (00:47:35:09 - 00:47:36:01): That's horrific. **Chip** (00:47:36:01 - 00:48:01:15): And here's the thing about, okay, Gerald will pop up. He's usually along those rules, but he would just pop out of nowhere when you least. Gerald. Gerald. By Gerald. Gerald I was I was saying Gerald I was saying nice things about you. Gerald I'm saying nice. **Thomas** (00:48:01:16 - 00:48:04:12): Chip. Chip. **Chip** (00:48:12:01 - 00:48:14:05): All right. False alarm. False alarm. Gerald. Gerald is. Calm down. He's having some krill in the corner. He's. Yeah. He's cool. He's all right. **Thomas** (00:48:23:02 - 00:48:25:18): He's. Keep it. Krill. Gerald. **Chip** (00:48:25:20 - 00:48:33:22): So that Thomas is Gerald. The fantail file. Fish. Your fish of the week. **Thomas** (00:48:34:00 - 00:48:48:03): What a superstar, man. He's got a temper on him, but what a superstar. Wow. Yeah, I think it would be tough. I think it would be tough to be a fish that, by all measures, doesn't quite understand how to swim, right? **Chip** (00:48:48:05 - 00:48:49:15): Right. If it really is. **Thomas** (00:48:51:00 - 00:48:57:01): Congratulations to you, Gerald. Hats off on being sunburnt. Podcast. Fish of the week. **Chip** (00:48:57:02 - 00:48:58:09): Fish of the week. **Thomas** (00:48:58:12 - 00:49:04:12): Our hero of the deep. All right buddy, now it's time to get into the good book. **Chip** (00:49:04:14 - 00:49:19:20): Open that good book, the Guinness Book of World Records. We like to celebrate the best, the greatest, the biggest, the longest. And we are here today. Thomas, do you want to do you want to regardless with your excerpt from the Good book. **Thomas** (00:49:19:22 - 00:49:25:04): Chip, according to the Good Book, you might have some explaining to do. **Chip** (00:49:25:06 - 00:49:26:18): Oh. Whoa. **Thomas** (00:49:26:20 - 00:49:37:07): In February, you told me your hair was in braids and you had a bikini top tan line because you were busy helping to solve a mystery on Epstein's island. **Chip** (00:49:37:08 - 00:49:38:14): I did mention that. **Thomas** (00:49:38:14 - 00:49:52:15): But the numbers say you might have been partying in Los Cabos as one of the international visitors who helped set the record for the most monthly tourists visiting Los Cabos this January. **Chip** (00:49:52:17 - 00:49:55:18): Los Cabos, of course. Spanish for the cabos. **Thomas** (00:49:55:22 - 00:50:12:00): Spanish for the cabos. So, Chip, how many of you and your party friends decided to show up at Los Cabos in January 2026? It's the record setting, time. And this is just for international visitors. **Chip** (00:50:12:02 - 00:50:13:23): 50,000. **Thomas** (00:50:14:01 - 00:50:22:11): That's how many visited the Caymans. 50,000. This is almost ten. That a little under nine. **Chip** (00:50:22:13 - 00:50:24:13): Where's Los Cabos, by the way? I should know this. **Thomas** (00:50:24:13 - 00:50:40:01): I'll get into it. It's okay. It's a it's Cabo San Lucas and another. Okay, town that are kind of bridged together by a tourist gap. We'll get into it. 437,900 international visitors in one month. Dude. **Chip** (00:50:40:03 - 00:50:41:08): That's almost half a mil. **Thomas** (00:50:41:08 - 00:50:47:03): That's basically filling up every seat in the Rose Bowl every single day for a month. **Chip** (00:50:47:05 - 00:50:47:21): Wow. **Thomas** (00:50:47:21 - 00:50:53:11): And every single one of those people is sunburnt and holding a fish taco. **Chip** (00:50:53:13 - 00:50:54:17): Yes. Yeah. **Thomas** (00:50:54:19 - 00:51:17:09): Los Cabos is at the southern tip of Baja California. Okay. And dude, get this. Had a 2.6 increase this January and visitors over the previous year, 2025, which was also the record at that time. So they are on the way up. **Chip** (00:51:17:11 - 00:51:18:06): And Fuego. **Thomas** (00:51:18:06 - 00:51:27:03): Baby and Fuego dude. And January is their busiest season. Like it's just America is frozen solid. We are at the back of the freezer. **Chip** (00:51:27:03 - 00:51:29:00): We need to we need to get out and thaw. **Thomas** (00:51:29:01 - 00:51:51:21): With freezer burn all over us. We gotta get down south and this is a beautiful place to do it. Los Cabos is actually two towns. Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, and they're connected by a 20 minute or 20 mile tourist corridor, meaning nearly half a million people were packed into a stretch of coastline smaller than the Vegas Strip. **Chip** (00:51:52:00 - 00:51:53:09): That's a lot of burnt ones right there. **Thomas** (00:51:53:09 - 00:51:57:16): It's a high concentration of burnt ones, and it's right on the Sea of Cortez. **Chip** (00:51:57:18 - 00:51:58:03): Okay. **Thomas** (00:51:58:03 - 00:52:04:09): Which was called the World's Aquarium by famous, explorer Jacques Cousteau. **Chip** (00:52:04:13 - 00:52:05:03): Never heard. **Thomas** (00:52:05:03 - 00:52:06:07): Of them. Never heard of them. **Chip** (00:52:06:07 - 00:52:16:00): Chip, I don't like French food. I don't like French, I, Jacques Cousteau. I used to watch Jacques Cousteau and his hat. It's mesmerizing man. Yes. **Thomas** (00:52:16:02 - 00:52:18:16): Yeah. They, the Life Aquatic, based. **Chip** (00:52:18:16 - 00:52:20:23): On based off of Jacques Cousteau. **Thomas** (00:52:21:00 - 00:52:42:07): So he called it the world's aquarium, meaning it's it's one of the most spectacular places to see fish. It's visually stunning. And there's a wide variety of fish. But be careful, because if you ask for a Jacques Cousteau in Cabo, don't be surprised when you wake up with bald Charlie Brown's. **Chip** (00:52:42:09 - 00:52:45:19): It it is a danger. It's one of the dangers. **Thomas** (00:52:45:21 - 00:53:01:21): The record tracks international visitors only, meaning that domestic, Mexican tourists visiting their own gorgeous coastline don't count towards this number. Which means the actual crowd in Los Cabos in January was substantially larger. Wow. That's a lot of burnt ones, baby. **Chip** (00:53:01:22 - 00:53:02:10): Yeah. **Thomas** (00:53:02:10 - 00:53:19:21): So I congratulations, Los Cabos, on setting the record. Your own world record for the most international tourists visited. And one month, 473,900 international tourists. **Chip** (00:53:19:21 - 00:53:22:02): Well done, Los Cabos. Well done. **Thomas** (00:53:22:02 - 00:53:25:13): What about you, trip? What? What did you dig out of the good book? **Chip** (00:53:25:15 - 00:53:44:07): All right, Thomas, do you remember? Let's go back to memory lane. The the the listener, the viewer. They know we used to work together as you still technically. Do you remember when we worked in Burbank together? Sometimes you, me and our buddy Tony would walk over to the Starbucks a lot of times on a Friday, and you would be out of the kindness of your heart. You would. You would get around two coffees for the crew. **Thomas** (00:53:48:01 - 00:53:51:18): For the whole crew. Yeah. We do Friday coffees, Friday coffees. **Chip** (00:53:51:18 - 00:53:51:20): Right. **Thomas** (00:53:51:21 - 00:54:03:11): You're lucky enough to work on a show or I'm the showrunner. If the economics still hold up, you're going to get a Starbucks coffee. Anything you want. Yeah. Friday, because that's how we did it, baby. **Chip** (00:54:03:15 - 00:54:10:01): It's how you did it. Now, for this one, I'd like to repay that favor a little bit, Thomas. Okay. **Thomas** (00:54:10:01 - 00:54:10:14): **Chip** (00:54:10:16 - 00:54:15:18): And I'd like to take you just to a little coffee shop that I know. Just a quaint little place. I love. **Thomas** (00:54:15:18 - 00:54:16:20): A local spot where. **Chip** (00:54:16:20 - 00:54:36:02): We could each get a little cappuccino, and it just joy it be my treat. Like, this is the biggest cafe in the world. Thomas, take your Starbucks and shove it up your Tim Hortons because this cafe is going to destroy it. Okay? I can't I can't keep up that energy. Thomas. Can't keep it up. Can't keep up that energy. **Thomas** (00:54:36:02 - 00:54:43:05): That's a big energy pitch, baby. I'm excited about this cafe, though. You know I love coffee. You know what? I'm a size king. **Chip** (00:54:43:06 - 00:54:54:15): Mr. Size King, if you want some energy. Yeah. What you're going to want to go to is the Guinness Book of World Records, record holder for the world's largest cafe. **Thomas** (00:54:54:17 - 00:54:56:02): Whoo! Okay. **Chip** (00:54:56:03 - 00:55:00:18): Okay. It is called Positive Space 566. **Thomas** (00:55:00:20 - 00:55:01:11): All right. **Chip** (00:55:01:16 - 00:55:07:15): Let me say that again. Positive space 566 I don't cafe. Yeah, in South Korea. **Thomas** (00:55:07:17 - 00:55:08:23): Okay. Make it more sets. **Chip** (00:55:09:04 - 00:55:17:20): So it's down to South Korea. Okay. Now it's by seating capacity. It's the largest cafe in the world. So bigger than a star. **Thomas** (00:55:17:20 - 00:55:19:22): About much bigger than Starbucks. Okay. **Chip** (00:55:20:00 - 00:55:29:18): My seating capacity. Thomas, I want you to guess the number of seats that this, gigantic Starbucks. I don't say Starbucks. It's a big coffee shop. **Thomas** (00:55:29:18 - 00:55:48:08): Yeah, yeah. So, I'm picturing, like, the biggest Starbucks I can remember seeing. I'm going to guess that was maybe 75. Right? Okay. Capacity seating. So I'm going to triple that and we're going to come up with 225 to 25 seating capacity. **Chip** (00:55:48:10 - 00:56:05:08): Great. Guess the actual number of seats at Positive Space 566. And South Korea is 2190 seats. Thomas. That is 100 Starbucks. Thomas, 100 Starbucks. You know how many Ani DiFranco CDs could be sold there? **Thomas** (00:56:05:11 - 00:56:12:09): Scott. Just imagine the, they do numbers, dude. They do? No, that's an incredibly like. Why is it so big? **Chip** (00:56:12:13 - 00:56:33:15): It's a coffee mall. It is. It's basically six stories. All or five stories, all intensive purposes. There's there's an underground level and then there's these four levels that it's it looks like a mall. It's like basically like an atrium of just different levels, four levels. And the top level is actually an art center. So they have like basically like an art studio, see him. And then just it's they serve coffee, tea, baked goods, pizzas, steaks even. Right. So they have like, you know, there's some food in there. But it's 2190 seats. It broke the record in 2023. Yeah, by more than doubling the seating capacity of the next biggest place, which was in Saudi Arabia. **Thomas** (00:56:56:03 - 00:56:56:13): Okay. **Chip** (00:56:56:13 - 00:57:02:14): Now it's over 65,000ft². **Thomas** (00:57:02:16 - 00:57:03:18): That's so big. **Chip** (00:57:03:18 - 00:57:25:07): Joe Thomas, do you know how many how many square meters that is? No, it doesn't matter because it's huge. It's a big 65,000ft² of pure coffee. Okay. That's wild. Plus it's got an outdoor terrace and 19 separate rooms of different sizes that you can rent out for meetings and different occasions. Okay. **Thomas** (00:57:25:07 - 00:57:25:21): Yeah. **Chip** (00:57:25:23 - 00:57:30:23): Okay. This is this is the this is the caffeine Bellagio. This is what this place is. **Thomas** (00:57:30:23 - 00:57:31:17): Yeah. **Chip** (00:57:31:19 - 00:57:41:12): It is gigantic. Only problem the architect forgot no bathrooms. So that's it's a big, big problem they got. **Thomas** (00:57:41:15 - 00:57:43:12): That's rough at the pot. **Chip** (00:57:43:12 - 00:58:07:22): And it's a lot of coffee. No, but no, there's there are bathrooms everywhere. I would, I would bet everywhere. So, congrats to Positive Space 566 for being the world's largest cafe. And also at the same time, what I'm assuming is congratulations for keeping everybody on the eastern Hemisphere awake. **Thomas** (00:58:07:22 - 00:58:12:23): Get enough caffeine and that many people that could that could start a earthquake, baby. **Chip** (00:58:13:01 - 00:58:13:22): Tremors. **Thomas** (00:58:14:00 - 00:58:22:09): Tremors, tremors. God. Congratulations. Positive space. What a world record. And doubling I double double like. **Chip** (00:58:22:11 - 00:58:25:01): Just outdo it. Just like we're going to double it. **Thomas** (00:58:25:03 - 00:58:43:01): Yeah, they smashed it with a sledgehammer. Great job. You know, I love a cup of coffee. Everybody.

You sat on the hotel manager, Mr. Pennington's lap at breakfast, and I think he wants to press charges. **Chip** (00:59:39:16 - 00:59:40:06): But the bunny. **Thomas** (00:59:40:06 - 00:59:44:07): Suit.
