They Paid for a 'Forever Ticket' and This Happened... | Sunburnt Podcast Ep. 86
Episode 86 of the Sunburnt Podcast, the comedy and tropical travel show hosted by Emmy Award-winning producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix comedian Chip Chantry.
This week's top story: the MV Odyssey, a cruise ship marketed as a floating permanent home, evicted 203 residents with just seven hours' notice and left them stranded in Cambodia. Many had paid $230,000 or more for 'forever' tickets. Chip digs into the fine print and finds it actually says 'Four Eva.' He also pitches a Planes, Trains and Automobiles reboot called 'Boats.' Thomas shares the story of getting kicked out of a family's spare room by dinnertime.
Then we cover Gen Z 'lore tripping,' with travelers picking destinations like Mothman's Point Pleasant and the Schitt's Creek motel for the stories behind them. We also look at why Cancun and other tropical beaches top America's Thanksgiving travel list and where to find Hawaii hotel deals this year. Thomas performs a very professional ad read for Bixby's Extra Strength Hemorrhoid Cream.
In the Good Book, we land at Scotland's Barra Airport, where the beach runway vanishes with the tide twice a day. Then Chip pitches tourism slogans for Devon Island, the world's largest uninhabited island.

It's the Halloween episode of the Sunburnt Podcast, the comedy travel podcast hosted by Emmy Award-winning producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix comedian Chip Chantry. In Episode 85, the Tropical Lumberjacks return for their most frightening show ever.
Thomas shares a real ChatGPT tech-support scam story and recalls a Siegfried & Roy costume night that turned into an Eyes Wide Shut warehouse party. Chip tops it with a New Year's Eve presidential suite full of TWA pilots.
In Sunburnt News, the guys cover:

- Airbnb's new policy banning excessive checkout chores
- WalletHub naming New York City the best Halloween city, with Honolulu at #16
- The Turtle Bay Halloween Surf-Off on Oahu's North Shore

Plus a heartfelt Jimmy Buffett moment and the 28-day countdown to Chip Chantry's Thanksgiving in Paradise in Honolulu.

This week, Thomas and Chip dig into Nathan Fielder's You Can See Everything. They cover Billy Evans' hotel-money fortune, the $9.2 million Del Mar beach house rented for $28K a month, and whether a documentary could crash Oscar season.
In Sunburnt News:
- TSA rolls back its gate-access program, sparking a deeply unhinged debate about whether the colonists walked their wives to the airport gate.

- A woman survives 20 hours floating in the Mediterranean after going overboard from a Royal Caribbean ship.
- The tiny Burbank airport gets replaced by a $1.3 billion terminal.
- An American Airlines flight from Madrid diverts to JFK after six of eight toilets fail mid-flight.
Plus, the show's first 'sponsored' read goes horribly wrong, and Buffett Facts returns. In the Good Book, Chip unveils the Witchcraft franchise with 15 direct horror sequels, and Thomas explores a 79-mile Australian island made entirely of sand.
The countdown is on to Chip Chantry's Thanksgiving in Paradise in Honolulu, with ticket sales doubled from last year.
