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.

Episode 56 of the Sunburnt Podcast is here, and hosts Thomas O'Brien (Emmy Award-winning producer) and Chip Chantry (Netflix comedian) are fully locked in on spring chaos.

Chip opens with a kindergarten egg hunt story involving blood, grass stains, and a second-place finish. Then the guys dig into the Cayman Islands breaking visitor records by advertising what they DON'T have — no seaweed, no crowds — plus new direct flights making it more accessible than ever.

Things get gross fast: hotel coffee makers are testing positive for bacteria, mold, and mildew, and some guests are literally using them to wash their underwear. 92-year-old Hollywood legend Kim Novak publicly roasts Sydney Sweeney's looks over a biopic casting. The guys explore nine celebrity homes on Airbnb including Frank Sinatra's Palm Springs compound and the Fitzgeralds' party pad.

Americans rank Paris as Europe's most overrated food city — Thomas shares his actual Paris dining experiences including baby-bottle wine service at a fondue restaurant. Hypochondriac Corner returns with Chip's workout pains and Thomas's fake doctor ads. Fish of the Week introduces Gerald the fantail filefish — shy, colorful, and terrifyingly aggressive.

Episode 55 of the Sunburnt Podcast with Thomas O'Brien and Chip Chantry is here and it's a loaded one. Chip kicks things off by melting a shopping cart with a car battery at Gelson's, then unveils his increasingly illegal April Fool's Day prank suggestions — from ketchup buckets to LinkedIn hacking to an actual kidnapping scheme.

The guys dive into the Matador Network's new guide to drinking rum across Puerto Rico, the official Rum Capital of the World. Thomas casually reveals he's been in a civil tree dispute with his neighbor Ryan Gosling, then raves about Project Hail Mary crushing at the box office. A Hawaii Magazine article leads them down memory lane to Kahuku Farms on Oahu's North Shore, where they once had the greatest iced tea and banana bread of their lives.

Other highlights: the Gen Z food war between Boy Kibble and Girl Dinner, a comet named MAPS that might be the brightest in years (unless the sun destroys it first), and Don't Work Unless It's Fun Day on April 3rd.

Fish of the Week spotlights Leonard the Peacock Grouper — a neon blue invasive species terrorizing Hawaiian reefs since the 1950s who travels with a personal harem. The Good Book delivers a man who spent 111 days living in a banyan tree and the fastest grave ever dug: two hours flat in a Cleveland cemetery.

Episode 54 of the Sunburnt Podcast is here, and hosts Thomas O'Brien and Chip Chantry are fully unhinged. This week: the 125th anniversary of Waikiki's first hotel (which was built on a malaria swamp), NASA's $11 billion Mars rock named "Dough-to-night," and the shocking story of how the U.S. literally burned Japan's first gift of cherry blossom trees.

The guys break down why 22 million Americans are choosing cruise ships for spring break, reveal Forbes' highest-paid actors list (Adam Sandler takes the crown at $48 million), and deliver a Saint Patrick's Day Jimmy Buffett fact check involving shamrock margaritas.

Fish of the Week introduces Barnaby, a 4,000-pound giant oceanic manta ray who looks like a goth girl's kite and forms 30-male mating trains. Then Chip takes us to Tristan da Cunha — the most remote inhabited island on Earth — where 250 people share 7 last names and the nearest neighbor is a 7-day boat ride away.

Plus: Outrigger resorts expanding to the island from The Beach, the $10 billion astro-tourism boom, and the 57 alternative uses for Heinz ketchup.

Episode 53 of the Sunburnt Podcast is here, and hosts Emmy winning producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix comedian Chip Chantry are swinging for the fences. This week: Travel & Leisure dropped a list of the 20 best Caribbean beaches and Pig Beach somehow made the cut — the guys have questions. The LA Marathon gave out medals at the 18-mile mark because it was too hot, and Thomas calls it "global softening." St. Patrick's Day celebrations span from Dublin to Buenos Aires, but nothing compares to Philadelphia's infamous Erin Express pub crawl.

In tech news that nobody asked for, ChatGPT is now roasting users based on their perceived insecurities, and Thomas reveals he built his own AI program to torch people's LinkedIn profiles. Carnival Cruise Lines just opened a $600 million private island in the Bahamas with Shaquille O'Neal as their Chief Fun Officer. The Hypochondriac Corner features Chip dodging a coughing stranger at a wedding brunch.

Fish of the Week introduces Clarence, the Hawaiian Scorpion Fish — a venomous, algae-covered curmudgeon who can eat prey almost his own size. The Good Book cracks open two records: a Danish doctor who swam 202 meters underwater on a single breath, and Dunkin's 276-gallon iced latte containing 3,200 shots of espresso.

A chaotic Olympic meltdown, a 9-year Hawaii mystery finally solved, and one truly unhinged Lent sacrifice.

Episode 50 of the Sunburnt Podcast delivers a full mental vacation from winter — with skating disasters, Waikiki absurdity, and deeply questionable life choices.

Hosted by Emmy-winning producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix comedian Chip Chantry, Sunburnt blends travel stories, pop-culture breakdowns, and comedy that feels like you're already on vacation.

This week, we break down the Olympic "Quad God" figure-skating meltdown in real time and finally close the book on a Hawaii mystery that's been haunting the Burnt Ones for nearly a decade. Along the way, we cover fake basements in '90s video stores, a romantic Italian landmark collapsing on Valentine's Day, and why giving up Frasier for Lent may be the bravest act of all.

In this episode:

• The Olympic "Quad God" meltdown and spoken-word skating disaster

• Hawaii Mystery SOLVED — what costs exactly $0.30 at the Moana Surfrider in 2017

• Chip's infamous video-store password era

• A 40-day Lent sacrifice involving Frasier, marmalade, and questionable legality

• The Italian Lovers Arch collapse

• A buried Caribbean capital city

• Fish of the Week: Melvin the parrotfish and his slime sleeping bag

If winter has you trapped indoors, this episode is your escape.
