June 19, 2021/ Sunshine Tiki

Sunshine and Pumpkin hopped onto the bar stools for this episode on a warm June afternoon. When Pumpkin is in the lounge we have blends drinks. Sunshine does NOT have many of these blended cocktails in his recipe book so turning to classic drink recipes is always a good idea. Missionaries Downfall from the Total Tiki app by Beachbum Berry. Conversation on this episode includes: Super hero movies just need to stop, Golden Tiki Las Vegas has new food items and great new decor, memories of the first ZTL podcasts, dead raccoons in the ceiling of our old apartment, a tiki bar t-shirt club giveaway and more.

437 A Conversation About Coconut With Julio And Sunshine In Space

Neighbor Julio was invited on the show to talk about an upcoming collaboration to give Sunshine a spin off web series. Without going into to much detail lets just say that Sunshine is finally getting his wish to be launched into space. Shenanigans and inebriation should ensue from there. Julio has been working on short films and has a love of acting/performing. So bottom line, Julio will be directing and staging the series while Sunshine gets to do what he does best. Drink and laugh.
