143 Kidnapped and Drunk in California

/

Kidnappings are all the rage these days.  The most unfortunate thing about kidnapping is that there are so many other people who didn't want their kids, yet only parents who love their children suffer kidnapping.  This is reason enough to share a soothing tiki drink with your friends.  And thats exactly what Sunshine, Starshine and Kalani do.  In order to ensure that the show has some sense of tiki, Sunshine answers some listener email requests to explain the economics of the home bar.  Starshine is captivated by the AMC show Madmen and is jealous of the hair and high heels.  Kalani shares a story that is far to interesting to spill in print, just listen.  Mahalo for listening and tell a friend.

134 McMahon, Fawcett, Jackson, Farewell

/

Mother always said that celebrities die in threesomes.  Over time we have noticed this to be just as true as politicians are all corrupt.  This week we lost Americas second banana, Ed McMahon.  Farrah Fawcett who some called Americas angel was not far behind.  And most recently Michael Jackson, Americas king of pop dies somewhat mysteriously.  Reason to raise a cocktail?  We think so.  Sunshine does a solo spot on the lounge this week and shares some memories on all three stars.  Sunshine also shares a visit to Rhumbar at Mirage Las Vegas.  You may have had a scorpion before, but this place mixes one of the best scorpion bowls Sunshine has ever tasted.  Listen, drink, reminisce.
