Waikiki Thanksgiving Playbook, Elevator "Crime Scene" & A Big 9.5 Quake 😂🌴 | Sunburnt Podcast Ep. 35

Rain in Philly, drizzle in L.A., and 41 days until we trade jeans for boardshorts in Waikiki. In this one, we map your perfect Thanksgiving week on O'ahu (step-by-step), survive a Jon Mulaney show seating disaster, get interrogated after a bizarre elevator ride, and crack open two delightfully Guinness records—plus our weekly "Vacation Rules" and a Jimmy Buffett Facts. Why hit "Play"? 🌺 Waikiki Thanksgiving Playbook — Day-1 to Day-3 guide: HNL → taxi vs rideshare, beach-bar first stop (Duke's / Hula Grill / Moana Surfrider / Royal Hawaiian), ABC Stores floaties, reef-safe sunscreen, sunset catamaran, Diamond Head reservations, and the Turkey Trot plan. Real ticket PSA for Nov 26 @ Blue Note Waikiki (buy direct). 🎭 Crowd-Work in the Wild — Chip's favorite "audience member" sleeps through his whole theater set—after demanding the show not be filthy. 📵 Mulaney Night Mayhem — Voice-memos at full blast, a spilled wine "wet-leg" incident, and the wildest row exit in San Diego history. 🔐 Elevator Interrogation — We step out of a hotel lift…and straight into questions from heavily armed security. What was going on on 31? 📚 Record Fan Delight — Martin Tovey's 816 unique editions of the Guinness World Records (plus the largest GWR memorabilia stash). 🌎 The Big One — 1960 Valdivia quake (M9.5): 10 minutes of shaking, tsunamis across the Pacific, and even Earth's rotation nudged. 🧭 Vacation Rules — #153: Talk to strangers (safely). #71: Appoint a "Trip Mom." 🎵 Buffett Facts — Our totally real weekly Jimmy Buffett facts. Hit play for tropical-comedy escapism, practical Waikiki moves, and enough SPF-powered jokes to carry you to Thanksgiving in Paradise. 🎧 New episodes every week — Subscribe & Get Sunburnt #sunburntpodcast  #comedypodcast  #travelcomedy  #waikiki  #hawaiitravel   Chapters 00:00 Cold Open + "Front Desk" bit returns 00:02:10 Ep. 35 kick-off + 41-Day Countdown to Thanksgiving in Paradise 00:06:07 Cloudy-day sunscreen and "slather" talk 00:06:41 Chip's theater show: the anti-filth crusader who…falls asleep front-row 00:11:43 Mulaney in San Diego: anniversary date, "wet-leg" wine spill, phone chaos 00:18:29 The Hyatt elevator ride → lobby security grilling (what happened on 31?) 00:26:00 UCB/Comedy Deathray memories + Jeff Garlin stories 00:30:21 Waikiki 2025: why we anchor the trip with shows at Blue Note 00:33:04 Ticket PSA: buy direct (avoid reseller markups) 00:34:48 HNL → Waikiki: taxi vs rideshare, luggage, early beach check-in mindset 00:37:58 First stop beach bars (Duke's / Hula Grill / Moana Surfrider / Royal Hawaiian) 00:41:22 ABC Stores floaties (already inflated) + ocean temps in November 00:43:25 Reef-safe sunscreen (don't get burned on Day 1) 00:45:19 Sunset catamaran sail (open-bar options) + nightly sunset walk strategy 00:48:35 Diamond Head reservations, hike details (closed on Thanksgiving) 00:50:26 Thanksgiving morning Turkey Trot plan 00:51:26 Thanksgiving dinner options + why we book early (water-view picks) 00:53:01 Sunset + live music (Royal Hawaiian / Moana Surfrider) nightcap 00:57:17 "Good Book" segment intro — Guinness time 00:58:27 Martin Tovey's 816-edition Guinness collection (& memorabilia record) 01:02:20 1960 Valdivia M9.5 earthquake: energy, tsunamis, Earth's rotation 01:07:31 Vacation Rules: #153 Talk to strangers; #71 Appoint a Trip Mom 01:11:24 Buffett Facts (completely official, don't look them up) 01:14:41 Outro + "Front Desk" tag
