Episode 57 of the Sunburnt Podcast — Emmy Award-winning producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix comedian Chip Chantry are back with another tropically unhinged hour.

This week: Royal Caribbean unveiled a treehouse suite on a cruise ship that costs $200,000 per week. A 74-year-old kayaker in Norway gets his boat capsized by a 5,000-pound walrus and lives to tell the tale. There's a beach bar in Martinique serving rum punches at the foot of an active volcano. The Super Bowl of hula dance is streaming free from Hilo, Hawaii. Coachella kicks off and you can watch six stages for free — so why go?

Plus: the guys pitch a trick-or-treat-scented candle business, discover that canned mai tais are secretly 2.5 drinks, and debate whether an ABC Store could survive Philadelphia. Hypochondriac Corner features a collapsed lung scare from The Pitt and Chip's real-life collapsed lung story. Fish of the Week introduces Howard the spotted box fish — a poison-oozing, harem-running, reef-peeping little cube. The Good Book cracks open for the world's largest underwater wedding (303 scuba divers in Poland) and a Malaysian resort with 643 individual swimming pools.
