120 The Island of Kava Kon

Sunshine Tiki ZTL 120

What do you get when you cross great exotica with ample booze and two tired hosts?  We leave it up to our listeners to decide.  We try a semi classic cocktail, the sazerac.  This is one whiskey cocktail that has some serious punch.  Pumpkin didn't do to well with the whiskey so Sunshine threw together a quickie with the sweetness she was looking for, we leave it up to our listeners to give a name to this new alcohol treat.  Our music this weeks comes from the new album by Kava Kon.  We highly recommend you find or download their second album, and arguably the best yet.  Pumpkin shares about her doggy who will star in an upcoming commercial about canine worms.  Sunshine shares some sad news about the closing a the Islands restaurant in Laguna Beach, CA.  Other than that, its a total tangent fest.  Enjoy!

119 Bloody Marys with Octomom

Sunshine Tiki ZTL 119

To say that this weeks show is all about the ever retarded Octomom would be a bit misleading.  But, we do certainly yell at her BS antics one more time.  Our much needed libation is the famous Bloody Mary.  We don't give a recipe since everyone already "makes the best Bloody Mary."  Starshine is in for Pumpkin again and she is playing her hostess duties well.  Her commentary on the economy, smart water and children whacking each other in the balls is priceless.  Sunshine tells about his new home carbonator, make all the soda, ginger ale and lemon lime you need for your cocktails.  Most drinks only need a splash of soda, so why buy a large bottle or a six pack.  Sunshine is also ranting about the awesome new tropical home fragrances he came across, Scentsy!  Im not selling it, but maybe I should.  Smells like Hawaii in your living room.  We close out the show with a few more details on the Hukilau and Flamingos Day 2009.  Fun for all.

118 Is the Snuggie Zen?

Sunshine Tiki ZTL 118

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.

117 Skittle Infusions and Sweater Yams

Sunshine Tiki ZTL 117

Aloha Tiki Friends, it's a brand new week in the Zen Tiki Lounge and we are both ready for some unwinding.  Our little drinky this week is the Ward Eight.  A bourbon style concoction makes  a rare appearance in the Lounge.  If you only drink foo fu drinks you should still try this one.  A classic sour drink.  A drink named after an insane asylum is just what Pumpkin needed to get her started on Jesus bashing and old people trashing.  Sunshine revisits the nipple problem, just where exactly does that milk come from.  We also take another look at the mystery of the snuggie, the worlds best selling infomercial product of all time!  Really!  And thats just a sample of the great bag of crap in this weeks podcast.  Remember to share with a friend....the cocktail too.

116 Tikirific Condoms and Hawaiian VOG

Sunshine Tiki ZTL 116

Pumpkin can't keep her mind out of the gutter.  This week she is obsessed with vegan condoms, so good you could eat them.  But before you go eating condoms, try this weeks cocktail.  The Cuba Libre was a favorite drink of American author Jean Stafford.  A drunks drink if ever there was one.  Next is some Zen conversation about keeping things simple and elegant, with tiki style.  Sunshine thinks the lowly sugar cube may have a comeback and also wants to know which of his neighbors donated to the "yes on 8" proposition.  Nothing wrong with that.  All of us here at the Zen Tiki Lounge want to shout to Kava Kon, one of our favorite exotica artists.  Listen to Kava Kon here.  Enjoy the show.

115 The Star Trek Doggy Door

Sunshine Tiki ZTL 115

You know that you have nothing to complain about when all you can complain about is the need for an automatic doggy door.  Pumpkin spends SO MUCH TIME letting the pooch out in the yard she feels she needs an auto door for doggy.  Really?  That may not sound all that interesting to most people, so we toss back a few cocktails for some intoximicating fun.  Our drink is called The Isle of Lime and is inspired by Sunshines new love of 10 Can Rum.  Delicioso!  Be sure not to substitute another rum, it just doesn't work.  After the drink comes drunken racist comments and cross dressing Asian ladies who write books about saving the planet.  Don't miss that.  We conclude with Pumpkins latest rant on vanity license plates and those people who put dead loved ones on the back of their cars.  Nice.

114 Visiting Jamaica with Coruba Rum

Sunshine Tiki ZTL 114

Aloha Tiki Friends!  It's been a looong week for all of us here in the Zen Tiki Lounge.  A cocktail or two, or three was certainly sounding good.  We start with a great Mai Tai, direct from the Foundation Tiki bar in Milwaukee.  To make this you will need to track some Coruba Jamaican rum.  Finding some rock candy syrup is a good idea as well, but simple syrup works in a pinch.  Not long after we started sipping this stiff libation the conversation quickly turned to breast feeding, anal insertions, taxes for gays, the magic bullet blender, and for good measure we threw in a little Jesus.  Starshine certinaly kept things lively.  Enjoy!  Be sure to visit the official site for the Foundation Tiki Bar.
