Your Next Favorite Podcast
Already burned through the shows you love? Here's exactly why Sunburnt scratches the same itch — with a tropical twist.
Celebrity buddy-comedy hang
If you like SmartLess…
Three entertainment-industry pros riffing with zero ego, ruthless teasing, and easy chemistry.
Sunburnt is two pros with that same effortless, teasing rapport — Netflix comedian Chip Chantry and Emmy-winning producer Thomas O'Brien — minus the celebrity-interview format and plus a tropical, escapist twist.
Comedian-led comfort hang
If you like Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend…
A warm, self-deprecating, joke-dense hang led by a comedy lifer who never stops bantering with his co-hosts.
Chip is a touring stand-up (Netflix's Tires), so the bits land the same way — but every Sunburnt episode is built around vacation-brain, island culture, and turning your worst day into a beach day.
Comedy travel & vacation chaos
If you like Laugh Lines with Kim & Penn Holderness…
Chaotic, funny vacation stories, digestive disasters, and listener call-ins from a beloved creator duo.
Same vacation-chaos energy — and we have a literal call-in segment, Trouble in Paradise, for your worst travel disasters. The Holdernesses go broad; Sunburnt goes full tropical.
Absurd, deadpan escapism
If you like Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet…
Deadpan readings of ridiculous reviews — pure, light, beachy escapism with a sense of the absurd.
Sunburnt shares that delight in absurd travel detail and tropical nonsense, but as an original two-host comedy hang stacked with recurring bits and sketches.
Weird facts & world records
If you like No Such Thing As A Fish…
A panel gleefully trading the week's strangest facts and most unbelievable world records.
That exact joy lives in two Sunburnt segments — The Good Book (Guinness World Records) and Buffett Facts — all wrapped in a tropical-comedy vacation vibe.
Funny, genuinely accurate science
If you like Ologies with Alie Ward…
Comedy-meets-real-science with a soft spot for weird animals and the people obsessed with them.
Our Fish of the Week is comedy-meets-marine-biology from hosts who actually produced animal-science shows for National Geographic — the same funny-but-accurate energy, poolside.
Comedy travel stories
If you like You Be Trippin' with Ari Shaffir…
Comedians telling jaw-dropping, true travel stories from all over the world.
This is Sunburnt's closest cousin: comedy built entirely around travel. We trade globe-trotting war stories for island culture and weird trips — and our Trouble in Paradise call-in line is all about your own vacation disasters.
Philly comedy & recurring bits
If you like Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast…
Sharp, character-driven Philadelphia stand-up comedy stacked with absurd recurring bits.
Real connection here: Chip is a Philly comedian who appears in Shane Gillis's Netflix show Tires. Sunburnt runs on that same bit-heavy sensibility — recurring sketches like Front Desk — pointed at the beach instead of the city.
Storytelling comedy hang
If you like This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von…
Loose, tangent-chasing storytelling and oddball philosophy from a comic who can turn any memory into a bit.
Sunburnt runs on that same off-the-cuff storytelling energy — two comics following a tangent wherever it goes — except every detour washes up on a tropical beach.
Two-comic buddy hang
If you like 2 Bears 1 Cave…
Two stand-up buddies bewildered by life, busting each other's chops between road stories.
Same two-comedian, roast-your-best-friend chemistry — Chip and Thomas just aim it at vacations, island mysteries, Buffett facts, and the perfect sunscreen slather.
Odd-couple comic chaos
If you like Bad Friends…
A chaotic odd-couple dynamic, big characters, and bits that spiral gloriously out of control.
If you love that unhinged-but-loving duo energy, Sunburnt has it with a tropical filter — plus recurring sketches where the chaos is scripted to perfection.
Curious facts, two-host
If you like Stuff You Should Know…
Two hosts cheerfully explaining how the world works, one rabbit hole at a time.
That curiosity is built into The Good Book (world records) and Fish of the Week — genuinely accurate, genuinely funny, from hosts who made science shows for National Geographic.
Comedy meets medicine
If you like Sawbones…
A doctor-and-spouse duo turning medical history and bizarre ailments into comedy.
Sunburnt has a whole segment for that — Hypochondriac Corner, where two proudly self-diagnosed hosts catalog every imaginary illness (plus the real tropical hazards worth fearing).
Absurdist comedy bits
If you like My Brother, My Brother and Me…
Brothers riffing advice into surreal, endlessly quotable bits and running gags.
Sunburnt shares that bit-driven, world-building comedy — recurring characters like Mr. Chantry at the Front Desk — with a sunny, vacation-brain spin.
What Makes Sunburnt Different
Hosted by Netflix comedian Chip Chantry (Netflix's Tires) and Emmy-winning producer Thomas O'Brien, Sunburnt drops a new hour every Thursday — comedy, tropical travel stories, Guinness World Records, and the kind of humor that makes your worst day feel like a beach day.
It's built around signature recurring segments — Front Desk, Old Fashioned Slather, For the Algo, Hypochondriac Corner, Buffett Facts, Fish of the Week, The Good Book, and the Trouble in Paradise call-in line — so it feels less like a one-off chat and more like a weekly trip somewhere better.
