This week on the show we start off with a drink any idiot could make.  Just toss some ice, fruit and booze in the old blender and wallaaaah!  You have a Boozie!  The great thing about a Boozie is you really can mix just about anything.  Fresh fruit frozen in chunks works great with a few cups of ice and a good pour of your favorite rum.  And, its “healthy.”  With a drink in hand you just need to head over to the handy dandy media device of your choosing and put on some exotic tunes.  Dim the lights and listen to Sunshine and Pumpkin.  Pumpkin made it to the lounge this week even though she is still a bit under the weather.  Sunshine is healthy as a horse and can drink almost as much.  Our conversation this week includes everyday uses for vodka, farmers markets, rediculous holidays, Summer tiki news and some other stuff we can’t recall.  So put us in your iThingy and listen till ya puke.

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?
