Mai Tais, Mile-High Mayhem & The Alton Giant 😂🌴 | Sunburnt Podcast Ep. 29

from Sunburnt Podcast w/ Chip Chantry and Thomas O'Brien

Sugar-free Slurpee "incident" at 7-Eleven (no comment 😉), a full-body Hawaiian Tropic slather to set the mood, and an 83-day countdown to Thanksgiving in Paradise (Nov 26 · Blue Note Waikīkī). Chip recaps Portland, ME (Empire Comedy Club + lighthouse love), Thomas hits San Diego for a Duke's-style Mai Tai… while the ocean is closed for, uh, "fecal contamination." Then: a viral Mile-High story on a flight to Honolulu (in-seat shenanigans, FBI at the gate) and a double-dose of Guinness: the Alton Giant and the Goliath birdeater spider. Why hit "Play"? 🧊 Sugar-Free Slurpee Saga — a 7-Eleven dust-up sets the tone (00:00). 🧴 Sunscreen Ritual — instant vacation brain via Hawaiian Tropic (01:50). 🦃 83-Day Countdown — real ticket links only (our site / Blue Note Hawai'i) and flight plans set (03:02). 🌊 Portland, ME → Salem, MA — Empire Comedy Club, tour-guide reunion, and Portland Head Light dreams (07:32–13:25). 🏃 Waikīkī Lighthouse & Turkey Trot — 5K link skepticism… so come run with us Thanksgiving morning (14:17–15:31). 🍹 Duke's-Style Mai Tai at Jake's Del Mar — perfect sunset, imperfect ocean (beach closures for bacteria) (17:12–19:28). 🍸 "Frat-Start Wednesday" — Titanic Tito's pours, nuclear Jell-O shots, and a Sasquatch Maine-flag hat (22:00–25:25). ✈️ Mile-High? Or… nah — Minneapolis ➜ Honolulu couple, blanket, economy row, FBI meet-and-greet; does it even count? (26:18–37:08). 📘 Good Book Time — Robert Wadlow (8′11.1″), size-37 shoes, Alton Giant icon spread (44:22–53:19). 🕷️ Spider Season — Goliath birdeater up to 11″ leg span; monarch-snaring webs at home (54:15–59:08). 🌴 Buffett "facts" — real-feel 82°, barefoot Twister, and luxury-travel tease (1:00:00–1:01:55). Hit play for SPF-50 laughs, coastal escapism, and Guinness-grade weirdness you'll retell at the tiki bar. 🎧 New episodes every week — Subscribe & Get Sunburnt Chapters 00:00 Sugar-Free Slurpee "Incident" (7-Eleven cold open) 01:50 Basement Hawaiian Tropic Slather → Vacation Brain 02:20 Front Desk bit (Home-Alone supplies request) 03:02 83-Day Countdown → Thanksgiving in Paradise + real ticket links 05:05 First-Time Hawai'i jitters & family flights booked 07:32 Portland, ME show recap (Empire Comedy Club) 10:14 Salem walking tour → guide recognizes Chip from pre-pandemic gig 11:54 Lighthouse run: Portland Head Light awe + lighthouse-keeper fantasy 14:17 Waikīkī lighthouse & Turkey Trot sign-up doubts → "just run with us" 17:12 San Diego weekend → Jake's Del Mar & Duke's Mai Tai 18:41 Beach closures (bacteria) + sunset vibes anyway 20:45 Portland bar crawl → "Roma Paloma" at CBGB's 22:00 Frat-Start Wednesday: heavy Tito's + lethal Jell-O shots 24:59 Drunk-shopping win: Maine 1901 flag Sasquatch hat 26:18 Mile-High story kicks off (Minneapolis ➜ Honolulu) 29:08 In-seat blanket "shenanigans" vs. what really counts as Mile-High 34:14 FBI greets plane; Delta one-liners ensue 37:08 Open the Good Book 44:22 Robert Wadlow (Alton Giant) deep-dive 53:19 Applause for Bob; segue to… 54:15 Goliath birdeater spider & neighborhood web war 1:00:00 Buffett Facts (real-feel 82°, barefoot Twister) 1:01:35 Tease: a new form of luxury travel next episode 1:01:56 Front Desk tag & outro #travelcomedy  #sunburntpodcast  #hawaii  #waikiki  #hawaiianshirt
