Episode 64 of the Sunburnt Podcast with Emmy Award-winning producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix comedian Chip Chantry is a tropically unhinged float trip through the world's strangest summer stories.

The boys slather on the Hawaiian Tropic and dive into Conde Nast's list of the 11 best lazy rivers — including a St. Regis river that ends in a champagne grotto — before pitching their own upgrades involving murder mysteries and floating bricks of cocaine. They unpack why Costa Rica is the 4th happiest country on Earth (and why Scandinavia exports its frustration as unassembled furniture), break down the surge of El Niño-driven shark sightings off California and Hawaii, and roast the Steroid Olympics that flopped so hard the company's stock dropped 50%.

Plus: domestic travel is up 77% worldwide, Tacoma is somehow a breakout destination, and Buffett was 90% chill and 10% pirate. Clarence the day octopus earns honorary Fish of the Week with nine brains, three hearts, and a psychopathic talent for faking shark shadows to ambush prey. The Good Book delivers Dubai's half-million-square-foot floating water park and a 1,624-person sand angel world record.

Topics: lazy rivers, Costa Rica happiness, shark season, the Enhanced Games, domestic travel trends, octopus facts, world records.
