Episode 76 of the Sunburnt Podcast is here, with Emmy Award-winning producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix comedian Chip Chantry (Tires) — the comedy and tropical travel podcast for anyone who thinks those two things belong together.

This week the guys dig into the creepiest vacation coincidence of the year: a family returns to the same San Diego Airbnb after 10 years and finds a framed photo of themselves hanging on the wall. That spirals into stories of accidentally appearing in strangers' photos and videos — from Griffith Observatory to a low-view Disneyland YouTube clip — plus Chip's unforgettable Dateline ambush.

Then it's travel outrage time: the Department of Transportation wants to let airlines hide the real price of your ticket at checkout, and Thomas and Chip declare war on hidden fees (and every middleman alive). They also get fired up about an ESPN pickleball tournament heading to the Honolulu Convention Center.

In Fish of the Week, meet Keith the shortfin mako — warm-blooded, Pennywise-smiled, and the fastest shark in the ocean. The Good Book delivers two Guinness records: the seven-figure pygmy goby that lives its entire life in just 59 days, and the mako's official 34.8 mph speed record.

Plus: full details on Chip Chantry's Thanksgiving in Paradise at Blue Note Hawaii.

Topics: comedy, travel, Airbnb stories, airline fees, Hawaii, pickleball, sharks, funny stories.

Episode 75 of the Sunburnt Podcast — the comedy and tropical travel show with Emmy Award-winning producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix comedian Chip Chantry (Tires, Thanksgiving in Paradise).

The boys are back from two weeks off and loaded with vacation chaos. Thomas escapes a hurricane in Hawaii, ranks his mai tais across the Moana, Duke's, and Monkey Pod Kitchen, and swears he witnessed a real-life Better Call Saul con job at the pool. Chip recaps his sunrise-and-sunset trip to Ocean City, New Jersey — fox photo included.

In Sunburnt News: Mexico's Caribbean beaches are buried under foul-smelling sargassum seaweed (Chip's rebrand: 'Diaper Haven'), over 100 tourists are caught sprinting at 6AM to claim poolside chairs in Tenerife, the Colonel Sanders memorabilia auction reveals he called KFC's gravy 'wallpaper paste,' Kool-Aid pineapple spears take over TikTok, and a honeymooning 'Caribbean Karen' goes viral for trying to clear a legally public beach — until a deeper rental-listing twist emerges.

Plus Hypochondriac Corner, weekly Jimmy Buffett Facts, and details on Chip Chantry's Thanksgiving in Paradise at the Blue Note in Waikiki.

Episode 174 of the Sunburnt Podcast finds hosts Thomas O'Brien (Emmy Award-winning producer) and Chip Chantry (Netflix comedian) broadcasting from vacation while re-airing their long-lost recap of Chip Chantry's Thanksgiving in Paradise at the Blue Note Hawaii.

This one is packed with big wins and HUGE confessions. After a year of planning an promoting, the sunburnt boys finally put on their first tropical comedy event in Waikiki. Thomas reveals the time R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe stood in front of him at a 30 Rock buffet — and how a certain Fight Club actor allegedly used Stipe as a social shield to cut the line. Then there's the story of Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys getting in a fight. The boys also admit to a secret, never-aired first episode recorded straight off the plane from Hawaii: 90 minutes of pure guttural screaming into the microphones.

On the travel side, Chip finally reveals whether Hawaii lived up to a full year of hype, shares his most peaceful moment watching the sunrise over Diamond Head, and breaks down the legendary ABC Store $15 float strategy that turned his skeptical wife into a true believer. Plus the Waikiki 5K, the best beach burger of all time, and the pay-it-forward float tradition.

Main topics: Friends achieving a year long business goal, celebrity encounters, behind-the-scenes podcast stories, the Waikiki float experience, friendship, and building a comedy-and-tropical-travel life.

Episode 173 of the Sunburnt Podcast with Emmy Award-winning Producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix Comedian Chip Chantry is a very special throwback.

With the boys taking real vacations this week, they are taking you back to Hawaii where they recorded their all-time favorite episode: the Waikiki Thanksgiving special, just steps from the Pacific Ocean with Diamond Head in the background. First, they officially announce Chip Chantry's Thanksgiving in Paradise 2026 at the Blue Note Hawaii and invite every Burnt One to join them for a week of comedy and tropical travel.

Then it's back to Waikiki for Chip's very first trip to Hawaii and his honest first impressions. The guys break down the perfect first day — Hawaiian lattes at Honolulu Coffee Roasters, burgers and mai tais at the Moana Surfrider beach bar, and the life-changing ABC store floatie that converted Chip's skeptical wife in four minutes flat.

Along the way: the running ice cream sundae shower bit, Thomas's fictional manatee revenge novel starring Mr. T, a deeply satisfying airplane karma story, getting recognized from his own poster outside the Blue Note, and a reflection on a full year of planning paying off.

Main topics: Chip's first time in Hawaii, doing stand-up comedy in tropical locations, family travel vs. traveling light, and the absurdity of luxury vacation culture.

Episode 172 of the Sunburnt Podcast finds Emmy Award-winning producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix comedian Chip Chantry drifting deeper into tropical chaos than ever before.

This week the guys unpack 'blazer' travel — the $685 billion trend of blending business and leisure that's now consuming 83% of American business travelers. They get sticker shock over solar eclipse hotel prices in Iceland and Spain, prompting Chip to pitch $500-a-night floor space at his Philly house for a fake nine-hour eclipse. Then it's Expedia's 2026 Island Hotlist, where Cape Verde's searches have exploded 805% off World Cup fever — right before Chip unveils the five worst island destinations on Earth, including Porto Javelina (the wild boar island), Saint Chlamydia, and Lou Bega's Mambo-Number-Five-on-loop nightmare.

Also on the docket: the George Costanza calzone bobblehead reselling for $250, Hypochondriac Corner tackles the mystery stomach bug sweeping the nation, Buffett Facts celebrates emotion centers over data centers, and Fish of the Week gets an original slam poem for Sharon the yellow stripe chorus fish. The Good Book brings Challenger Deep and the hottest ocean temperature ever recorded — a scalding 867°F.

Episode 71 of the Sunburnt Podcast with Emmy Award-winning Producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix Comedian Chip Chantry is piping hot.

Chip recaps being part of Guinness World Record history at Shane Gillis's record-breaking stadium comedy show at the Linc — where nearly 74,000 people watched a solo comedian, the largest audience ever. The night got even wilder at the after party, where Chip discovered superstar DJ Diplo spinning for a dance floor with almost nobody on it.

From there the boys travel the tropics: Caribbean resorts leaning into low-tech luxury by literally taking your phone at check-in, Saint Barth's turning a rum award show into a five-day beachside bender, and the secret family-run Amalfi Coast restaurant that every billionaire keeps taking Richard E. Grant to. Plus a debate over a $50 million T-Rex fossil named Gus, an epidemic of pointless National Days crowding out World Snorkeling Day, and a brainstorm that keeps mysteriously escalating into a civil war.

They also check into the Hypochondriac Corner for a produce parasite scare, celebrate the man with Buffett Facts, crown Malcolm the yellow stripe goat fish as Fish of the Week, and crack open the Good Book for a 66 MPH kite surfing record and Shane Gillis's official Guinness records.

Episode 70 of the Sunburnt Podcast with Emmy Award-winning Producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix Comedian Chip Chantry is a ice-cold cooler full of comedy and tropical travel.

This week, the boys celebrate their favorite story ever: the world's most exclusive private clubs are now enforcing strict "No A-Holes" policies, kicking out rude members — and Thomas and Chip dream up an "exorcism package" so you can pay a premium to watch it happen. Then they dig into the $77.3 million betting frenzy around Love Island USA and ask whether the polymarket mob fixed the finale.

On the travel front, they explore why Dominica — the Caribbean's lush "Nature Island" — is booming 22% year over year, count down the Big Island of Hawaii's top 5 beaches (including a black sand beach you can't swim at), and unpack why luxury wellness retreats are ditching the spa. Chip also invents the banana cream pie facial, the dumbest spa treatment ever conceived.

Plus: Ali G returns to sell grass at Wimbledon, a visit to the Hypochondriac Corner about a mystery parasite, fresh Jimmy Buffett Facts, Gary the Clown Triggerfish takes Fish of the Week, and the Good Book reveals a 9.37-pound mango and an 11,238-athlete Olympic record.

Episode 69 of the Sunburnt Podcast with Emmy Award-winning producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix comedian Chip Chantry.

Adam Sandler officiated Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding at Madison Square Garden — and Paul McCartney played Beatles classics he hadn't performed since 1964. The boys break it all down, then debunk a study blaming travelers for their own lost luggage (spoiler: it's the airlines).

This week's tropical travel rundown includes Hawaii's new $5 shuttle from Waikiki to the North Shore, a new authentic Mayan cultural immersion trip through Tulum and Chichén Itzá, and a truly unforgettable travel horror story about a teenage bus driver in Cancún.

Plus: the birth of the Hot Dog Belt (a genuine invention pitch), a Jimmy Buffett tribute segment, and Fish of the Week featuring Peter the blue spine unicorn fish and his deeply cursed original poem.

In The Good Book, we cover Sven's 46-hour birthday time-zone loophole and the chilling record for the longest quarantined island in history — Scotland's 'Anthrax Island,' abandoned for 48 years after UK bio-weapon testing. Chip appoints himself its official tourism board.
