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.

A giraffe is missing in Texas, tourists are paying thousands to sleep on a rusting shark tower, and the watermelon is now officially a fish. It's the 4th of July episode, Burnt Ones.

Episode 68 of the Sunburnt Podcast with Emmy Award-winning Producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix Comedian Chip Chantry.

This week Thomas and Chip melt through a record-shattering double heat dome hitting Philadelphia with 110-degree feels-like temps right before the 4th of July. Chip recaps his front-row experience watching underdog island nation Curacao play the Ivory Coast in their Cinderella World Cup run. The guys investigate Gracie, the three-year-old giraffe who vanished from a Texas ranch despite helicopter searches, and debate whether they'd rather stay at Frying Pan Tower — the world's most dangerous hotel, 35 miles offshore in shark-infested Atlantic waters — or a Bora Bora bungalow.

Also on the docket: the number 41 dethroning 67 as Gen Alpha's hottest slang, a mystery parasite hitting 145 Americans, a pitch for a dark American Pie casserole sequel, and Fish of the Week honoring the watermelon (complete with an unforgettable Gallagher-style pool disaster). In The Good Book: eight feet of rain in 48 hours in India and Antarctica's hottest day ever recorded.

Episode 67 of the Sunburnt Podcast — the number 1 tropical travel comedy podcast in the world is here with hosts Thomas O'Brien (Emmy Award-winning producer) and Chip Chantry (Netflix's Tires and Standup Comedian).

This week the boys tackle the most-traveled 4th of July in recorded history, with a record 72.2 million Americans hitting the road despite sky-high fuel and inflation. They dig into France fining shirtless male tourists $172 as a so-called hygiene crisis, the US Virgin Islands gambling $75 million to convert a classic resort into a Club Med, Jamaica quietly becoming the Caribbean's biggest inter-island hub, and a luxury Sardinia resort that pairs world-class beaches with a relentless Russian pickleball boot camp coach.

Along the way: Chip's heartwarming (and slightly tragic) 15-year neighborhood parade, a tribute to Jimmy Buffett's disdain for hot dog eating contests, and Fish of the Week stars Zander the goth triggerfish. In The Good Book, they cover the 1,400-mile Great Barrier Reef and Sam Groth's record 163 MPH tennis serve — the one he hit while still losing the match in straight sets.

Episode 66 of the Sunburnt Podcast — the number one tropical travel comedy podcast — with Emmy Award-winning producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix comedian Chip Chantry.

This week the boys are slathered up and diving into a stacked lineup of tropical travel news. Bali has launched a 100-officer government task force deporting and lifetime-banning influencers doing commercial work on tourist visas — including unlicensed yoga instructors, which inspires Chip's new business venture, "Too Hot for Bali Yoga." Gen Z and Gen Alpha are flocking to the Bahamas, now commanding 26% of all young Caribbean arrivals. The FDA has finally approved a sunscreen compound the rest of the world has used for 27 years, meaning we've all been aging faster for no reason.

Plus: howler monkeys crash a Costa Rican destination wedding and turn it into a rave, the global airline industry is in freefall, and Chip tells the story of getting wined and dined by Enron CEOs at Atlantis before playing blackjack next to Mike Myers.

The gang also visits Hypochondriac Corner, drops weekly Buffett Facts, profiles Hawaii's state fish Hector the reef triggerfish, and cracks open the Good Book for two Father's Day world records: the oldest man to ever legally father a child at 92, and Dynamic Derek, the world's tallest living donkey at a Billy-Joel-matching five foot five.

Episode 65 of the Sunburnt Podcast finds Emmy Award-winning producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix comedian Chip Chantry knee-deep in tropical travel and comedy.

This week: a Boeing 767 bound for Spain turns around mid-Atlantic because a passenger named their Bluetooth device 'bomb' and refused to turn it off — ruining 190 vacations. Chip recounts a vivid nightmare in which he packed a borrowed pistol for an open mic and got busted drinking at security, and reflects on what the word 'bomb' means to a comedian who survived the first half of his career.

The boys break down Uber's 10th annual Lost and Found Index (over a million phones lost, with Thomas's theory that it's all booze-fueled), a Wisconsin man named Homer who won custodianship of a remote Swedish island because his name means 'island,' and Curacao becoming the smallest nation in World Cup history — arriving in a windowless school bus and training barefoot on the beach. Then British Airways unleashes mid-flight phone calls and Chip predicts full societal collapse.

Plus: Hypochondriac Corner tackles Thomas's mysterious Moulin Rouge cough, Buffett Facts reveals Jimmy's love of the Stanley Cup as a margarita vessel, Fish of the Week celebrates Winston the flounder and his migrating eyeball, and the Good Book serves up the most temperature-consistent place on Earth and a $169 caviar hot dog.

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.

Episode 63 of the Sunburnt Podcast with Emmy Award-winning producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix comedian Chip Chantry.

This week the boys uncover the unbelievable true story of how Jimmy Buffett saved Saturday Night Live's Colin Jost from drowning while surfing in Saint Barts — comedy and tropical travel wrapped into one perfect tale. Before that, Chip walks Thomas through some increasingly suspicious childhood summer memories involving his dad, a shed, and a new last name every September.

On the travel front, they dig into Hawaii's first $50-a-night capsule hotel just steps from Waikiki Beach (you're basically sleeping in a drawer), a NerdWallet report claiming Americans are being priced out of the Caribbean, and NOAA's forecast for a below-normal 2026 hurricane season. Plus the discovery of a golf-ball-sized blue octopus nearly 6,000 feet below the Galapagos.

Fish of the Week is Toby, the Hawaiian white spotted Toby — a tiny pufferfish cousin that produces its own sunscreen, making him the biggest Burnt One we've ever crowned. Then they crack open the Good Book for two world records: Indonesia's staggering 17,508 islands, and the largest building shaped like a chicken — a windowless rooster hotel in the Philippines.

Episode 62 of the Sunburnt Podcast — Emmy Award-winning Producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix Comedian Chip Chantry are back, and Chip has a full-body rash that the doctor says will take 6-8 weeks to subside. Naturally, that's where the show begins.

This week the boys explore Cornwall's hidden Caribbean-quality beach (which disappears with the tide, requires cliff-climbing, and has zero bathrooms), Gordon Ramsay's surprisingly chill pilgrimage to Aunt Sandy's banana bread stand on Maui's Road to Hana, and Kate Middleton kneading pasta dough while wearing Princess Diana's $190,000 engagement ring.

We also break down Lady Gaga's theatrical funeral procession at The Grove (complete with eight-piece brass band and bird-masked little monsters), Disney Plus acquiring streaming rights to Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, and Chip's deeply researched slate of fake Disney-band crossover films including Wreck-It Radiohead, Finding Lizzo, and Honey I Shrunk the Strokes.

Plus: the history of tiki bar culture from 1933 to today, Omni Hotels' summer Tiki Social pop-ups, and a nostalgic look back at the legendary NYC Tiki Bar Crawl.

Fish of the Week: Henry the Hawaiian butterfly fish — a rare twilight-zone reef dweller and certified made man. Good Book records include the world's largest outdoor pool (a half-mile-long, ocean-fed monster in Chile) and Dario Marsilio's five-countries-on-foot run through the Alps.
