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.
