ZTL 227 A Dark Rum Punch Drowns The Monday Blues

Play

This week, Listener mail and feedback inspire much of the conversation.  Sunshine, Starshine and Kalani drop in the Zen Tiki Lounge for ours and your weekly dose of inebriated conversation.  Birding, Fall Tiki events, hobbyist collections, art by Tiki Tony Murphy, Eric October and mugs by Pop Tiki are all subjects on this weeks podcast.  Hows that for a run on sentence?  Sunshine shares some tips on bar spices and other fun “extras” you need in a well stocked tiki bar.  We also give a nice big shout to the upcoming GOIN’ PRIMITIVE event coming this October in Palm Springs from the same great folks that brought you Tiki-Caliente.  Listen to the show, sip a drink and tell a friend.  Mahalo and Enjoy

 

 

 

ZTL 226 Cottage Cheese, Jello, Couponing, and 9/11?

Play

Every now and then our podcast takes a slant at inebriated political commentary.  This would be one of those shows.  But rest assured that only 20% of the show is “deep.”  The rest is a load of shenanigans as usual.  Kalani and Sunshine discuss 9/11 and the lessons we may not have learned.  We also share thoughts on the many pitfalls of organized religion.  On the lighter side, everyone but Pumpkin tries a vintage jello cottage cheese salad.  Believe it or not, it was pretty tasty……black cherry jello with cottage cheese and cool whip.  Wow!  And what about luau pool parties when no one gets in the pool?  It’s a pool party!  Get wet!  We also toss in some tips on extreme couponing and what products to be aware of in the frozen isle.  Remember, just cause it was cool in the 60′s does not make it OK now.

 

 

 

ZTL 225 Lychee Fever And The New Horoscope

Play

Sunshine hasn’t played much with lychee in the past.  But, after a small happenstance, we have a tasty lychee cocktail that Starshine is already quite fond of.  After we play with the recipe more we may give it out for all of you to enjoy.  With cocktails in hand we drive down a narrow one lane road of inebriated banter in everyones favorite online tiki bar.  All of us are talking about heading out to San Bernardino to visit the Wigwam Motel.  This classic Route 66 attraction is not only fun to stay at but worth a few dozen pictures as well.  Who wouldn’t want to stay a night or two inside a concrete teepee complete with AC, TV and a kidney shaped pool?  Fun!  As the drinks set in further we began our chit chat about Michele Bachman and other political minded shenanigans.  Sunshine prefers to align himself with folks who are members of the Cinnamon Party , a growing number of folks who feel their political affiliations are better suited to their favorite spices vs. religion or moral values.  What spice party would you be a member of?  Nutmeg?  Allspice (Liberals) or maybe Pepper?  And how about that new 13th Zodiac symbol?  Sunshine is now a Taurus and Starshine won’t recognize the change, she is a purist.  We round out the show with a shout to Stephen at Chalkboard Ukulele and King Kukulele himself.  We hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we do making it.
