The Billionaire Travel Secret, A Comedy World Record & 5 Days of Rum | Sunburnt Podcast Ep. 71

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.

We're Curing Cyclospara, Booting A-Holes & Reaching Our Tropical Dreams 🌴 | Sunburnt Podcast Ep. 70

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. And don't forget — the Thanksgiving in Paradise show returns to Blue Note Hawaii in Waikiki on Thursday, November 26th.

Airlines Are Blaming YOU?, T Swift's Wedding & Anthrax Island 🌴☠️ | Sunburnt Podcast Ep. 69

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. Comedy and tropical travel, together at last. Subscribe and listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts. Stay burnt.

World's Most Dangerous Hotel, The Missing Giraffe, & the Watermelon Fish | Sunburnt Podcast Ep. 68

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. Leave your worst vacation disaster on the Trouble in Paradise Hotline: (310) 845-6038.

France Fines Shirtless Men, Buffett Facts & Russian Pickleball Gulag 🌴 | Sunburnt Podcast Ep. 67

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.
