World's Most Dangerous Hotel, The Missing Giraffe, & the Watermelon Fish | Sunburnt Podcast Ep. 68

A giraffe is missing in Texas, tourists are paying thousands to sleep on a rusting shark tower, and the watermelon is now officially a fish. It's the 4th of July episode, Burnt Ones. Episode 68 of the Sunburnt Podcast with Emmy Award-winning Producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix Comedian Chip Chantry. This week Thomas and Chip melt through a record-shattering double heat dome hitting Philadelphia with 110-degree feels-like temps right before the 4th of July. Chip recaps his front-row experience watching underdog island nation Curacao play the Ivory Coast in their Cinderella World Cup run. The guys investigate Gracie, the three-year-old giraffe who vanished from a Texas ranch despite helicopter searches, and debate whether they'd rather stay at Frying Pan Tower — the world's most dangerous hotel, 35 miles offshore in shark-infested Atlantic waters — or a Bora Bora bungalow. Also on the docket: the number 41 dethroning 67 as Gen Alpha's hottest slang, a mystery parasite hitting 145 Americans, a pitch for a dark American Pie casserole sequel, and Fish of the Week honoring the watermelon (complete with an unforgettable Gallagher-style pool disaster). In The Good Book: eight feet of rain in 48 hours in India and Antarctica's hottest day ever recorded. Leave your worst vacation disaster on the Trouble in Paradise Hotline: (310) 845-6038.
