Mystery Groupon Vacations, Prison Hotels & Duke’s Vacation Disaster ✈️🚔🌴 | Sunburnt Podcast Ep. 77

American travelers are paying for vacations before they know the destination. A luxury Japanese hotel wants you to PAY to sleep in a jail cell. And a Burnt Ones calls in with his biggest vacation disaster. Welcome to Episode 77 of the Sunburnt Podcast with Emmy Award-winning Producer Thomas O'Brien and Comedian Chip Chantry from Netflix's Tires . This week the boys dig into the Groupon mystery vacation trend, tour the brand-new Hoshino Nara Prison Hotel in Japan, and check into a Malaysian resort built out of two actual Boeing 747s. Along the way there's a viral classroom "Gas Station," a world record involving 300 hammocks, a 1930s canoe loop around the entire eastern United States, and a Trouble in Paradise call from Duke, who fell asleep on a plane and woke up in THE WRONG COUNTRY.
