ZTL 178 Is There a Cocktail Mix Good Enough For ZTL?

(This weeks show is filled with a bit more profanity than usual.  The result of bad booze) We are always open to NEW things.  Even if the NEW thing is OLD.  Listener Hula Harriet asked if we could make a cocktail using a pre bottled mixer.  Sunshine is good enough behind the bar to work with pretty much anything, but when you are used to fresh juice and no artificial anything…..a mix just won’t due.  Kalani and Sunshine dumped the drink and made something fresh.  Starting the show with a less than fabulous cocktail may have tainted the entire show, as both hosts ranted about taboo political subjects.  Illegal immigrants, Uganda hates gays, and Republicans love Jesus are just some of the less than tiki topics we were forced to discuss after bad liquor.  After a more appropriate drink set in we get back into a Tiki Oasis update and tell you how to be on the podcast if attending Tiki O.  Sunshine also vents about gifts that aren’t worth giving and how consumerism is killing America.  Listen, drink, enjoy.

ZTL 177 Taking The Cinnamon Challenge

After a week or two of preparation Sunshine and Starshine finally take the cinnamon challenge.  Basically, a fun party game that may or may not involve vomiting but is fun for everyone to watch.  Listen to the show to hear who wins.  And now that we are getting close to the big event, Tiki Oasis 10, we give some more details on our room crawl and how you can attend.  We will also be recording a podcast at Tiki Oasis and you can be in our audience, cocktails INCLUDED!  Just send us a message to mail@zentikilounge.com if you will be at Tiki Oasis and would like to join us for our first ever audience participation podcast.  The majority of the show this week is about the current events in our world.  Politically speaking we all have a responsibility to change the world we live in.  Our politicians cannot be trusted and the corporations of the world only do the right thing when consumers make their point with the money they spend.  Help us and help you change the world, one step at a time.  Share your opinion with others and make a difference.  Mahalo for listening and don’t forget to make a donation if you can.  Donations will be used to help us pay for web services and advertising.  We promise not to buy cars and boats.  :)   Any amount helps, just click on the PayPal donation badge on the web page.

ZTL 176 Crawling all the way to Tiki Oasis

We hate disappoint but we didn’t quite get around to doing the cinnamon challenge this week.  Why?  Because Sunshine never checked to see if he had the cinnamon.  We will save that one for next week.  Joining us for the first time is a new friend of the lounge, Captain Banana.  CB hails from San Francisco and shares his own brand of intoxicated shenanigans.  Sunshine is reaching out to listeners for tips on controlling cat dandruff.  Any suggestions?  He also gives the details on our Tiki Oasis room crawl and you can register to be an official crawler at Tikicentral.com, check on the string about Southern California specific tiki events and follow to Tiki Oasis room crawl.  We can’t wait to share our newest cocktail, the Coral Beauty.  The theme this year is ATTACK OF THE PINK FLAMINGOS!  Scary and tacky.  Our music this week is from the amazing Les Baxter, you can pick up the album on iTunes or eMusic: Ports of Pleasure.  Not enough blabbering yet?  The three of us share our thoughts on over medicated America and the frequent visits to the shrink just so we can feel good about ourselves.  Therapy or bitching?  You decide.

ZTL 175 Theres Gold “RUM” in Colorado

It’s been a while since your faithful hosts got genuinely tossed during the podcast.  Both Sunshine and Pumpkin suck down a delicious drink made with Montanya Oro Rum, a smooth concoction that sneaks up on you.  Our music this week is none other than the Bikini Beachcombers, some great tunes that make any day by the pool or lake that much more enjoyable.  Hell, you could even spend a day doing yard work, sipping a mai tai and the easy sounds of drum and uke will take you away.  Pumpkin brings us the tiki news this week, all about Southern California events of tiki and zen culture.  She also shares some more info on super foods, those helpful little fruits and veggies that are both tropical and GOOD for you.  Sunshine rants a bit about Linda Lingle, the flip flopping governor of Hawaii, who just can’t seem to decide if she likes or dislikes gay people.  Or in political speak, she doesn’t want to commit to any platform until the very last minute so she can get as many votes as possible.  Typical political BS.  Stupid Linda Lingle.  We toss in lots of other useful subjects and so not so useful blathering.  Big Mahalos to Montanya Rum and the Bikini Beachcombers for making this episode fun for us and the listeners.
