Sunshine Tiki

After much listener feedback, Pumpkin has been informed that her frequent use of profane body parts is tickling the wrong nerve.  Not that we answer to anyone, but it is good to know what people think.  Just count how many times she says something naughty.  Staying professional after this weeks cocktail isn't exactly easy, try the Zaya Splash and you will understand.  This drink is made with Zaya Gran Reserva Rum and we highly recommend you get yourself a bottle if you don't already have it.  Sunshine shares some thoughts on things to do in Fort Lauderdale during this years Hukilau event.  Do your best to choose a hotel within a mile or two of the event, or take the water taxi from place to place.  Lets face it, your gonna be drinking all weekend so don't try driving.  Lastly, Sunshine discusses the similarities between men and candy bars.  Which one are you?

127 The Impromptu Luau

ZTL 127

Sunshine Tiki

Have you noticed the weather lately?  We have.  Its time go start getting ready for that Summer BBQ/Luau or any other theme you like.  Sunshine and Pumpkin naturally gravitate towards the tiki side of things but to each their own.  On the podcast this week we toast the traditional tack of the American/Hawaiian Luau.  A mai tai here and a pina colada there.  Maybe a blue hawaiian or two to wash it down.  You can feel good without a nice lei and a few grass skirts.  Pumpkin just reminds everyone that plastic leis and grass skirts are a tragedy.  Go for the real thing and use those skirts year after year.  Buy yourself a few nice silk leis and hang em on any old hook till you need them next.  Other subjects this week include Quiznos and their dirty after hours commercials....which we like, Malibu rum offers free applications for the Iphone, Steve Zahn is a funny guy and not bad to look at either, and the usual poor taste in vocabulary continues as Pumpkin gets buzzed.

Sunshine Tiki

Sunshine, Starshine and Kalani hit the road to visit the grand opening of Trader Vic's LA.  But Before we hit the road we had to sample a cocktail, answer some listener email and make some money.  It's not all business, we squeeze some genital hygiene in just for good measure.  The key to this episode is to do a road trip of your own.  On your next day off just grab a friend, hop in the car and drive to your nearest Tiki joint.  Fun for all.  On the next show we will tell you all about our visit.  Please take our listener survey.....visit ZenTikiLounge.com
