ZTL 145 Did Obama Lie? Can Tikis Fly? We Discuss

Play

What a discomboobulated show we have for you this week.  Sunshine, Pumpkin and Starshine are all here to prove that too many hosts only leads to YELLING!  We introduce a new segment to the show, Tiki News.  A quick look at some of the tiki events and funny stories from around the globe and your own backyard.  Pumpkin brings us a long forgotten segment, Crazy Christian Cousin.  Pumpkins cousin is sending those nutty text messages about Jesus again.  Starshine is perturbed with the A-hole senator that called Obama a liar at his Healthcare address.  And, for good reason.  Representative Joe “Im a duche” Wilson calls the President a liar regarding healthcare.  Maybe Joe Wilson forgot that ALL of his campaign funding came from health care interests.  Wow, we all need a drink.  To keep it tiki Sunshine gives some shouts to fellow podcasters who keep us entertained with exotica and and the best sounds in lounge and space age pop.  Check out Cocktail Nation with Koop Kooper and The Quiet Village with Digitiki.  Great listening, interviews and advice on where to find that not so easy to procure exotica.  Now thats a show.  Listen, drink, enjoy!

ZTL 137 The Mini Bar Party with Michael Jackson

Play

Sunshine and Starshine in the lounge this week.  After some fairly painful dental work Sunshine is a bit under the influence of numbing agents so our drink this week is not the usual poison.  Using Beachbum Berry’s iPhone app we find a great coffee cocktail called Otto’s Grotto.  Try this one after dinner, with dessert etc.  Our subjects this week range from the west coast to the east.  We welcome about a dozen new listners and fans from the east coast thanks to listener Ronnie who did some great “word of mouth” for us.  Back here on the west coast was the memorial service for MJ: Michael Jackson.  The entire city of Los Angeles is a little ape s&!t today with all the goings on down at the Staples Center.  Both Sunshine and Starshine have their own unique point of view on the passing of the King of Pop.  On a more Zen note we go over a few thoughts on living a more stress free lifestyle and what exactly is ZEN anyway.  There is plenty more current events discusses as well, tune in and enjoy!

ZTL 118 Is the Snuggie Zen?

Play

Our show this week starts with Booze as usual.  Enough liquor that Pumpkin is a bit smashed in the first 10 minutes.  ”Between the Sheets” is the cocktail and shenanigans is the game.  We continue our salute to great American writers with the favorite drink of none other than Edna St. Vincent Millay, a longer name would just be silly.  Her early 20th century poetic works have been praised till this day.  But less seriously, Pumpkin really steals the show with her drunken blabber.  Vagina this, balls that.  Pumpkin also shares an encounter with a buss full of “challenged” people.  If you ever needed proof that Karma exists then this is the show for you.  In keeping with the theme of our show, Sunshine brings us news of Tiki Oasis, Hukilau and the new album from Kava Kon.  Cheers.

Sunshine was observing that Suze Orman may be the queen of the cougars.  Cougars are getting a lot of hype lately and Suze the money guru really knows how to get what she wants.  Pumpkin changes the subject to Jesus and the commercialization of the Christian religion.  What does Jesus have to do with Halloween?  Nothing!  However John McCain and Sarah Palin will do everything they can to ban Halloween altogether.  But thats not all.  Sunshine shares some of his favorite zen sleep music.  Have trouble sleeping like Sunshine?  Then go get yourself some of these selections for meditation and sleep  And much much more.
