In our never ending effort to keep it fun and new we crash a listeners pad this week. With booze in one arm and our portable studio in the other we drop by the home of Starshine (her old Indian Maiden name) for some impromtu cocktails, chat and a very short singalong with her husband from the never recorded band airportbar. Check out the pictures on our flickr page. For the first time we had a child in the studio, not to much of a problem but after a few drinks we pretty much let him do anything he wanted. This leads us to our discussion about different forms of child discipline. It's never to early to start.

This weeks cocktail bombed...so if you haven't made it yet DON'T. We admit when we make a mistake, and the Octopus is a bad drink. We decided to whip another cocktail and entitled it "on the spot." Delicious!
The show is a tribute to Summer and all that goes with it. BBQ's and booze, what better pair? We read some listener email from England, give some advice on parenting and use dirty body part names for no reason at all.
You know you want to listen.

Drink of the Week 
Octopus
1.5 oz light rum 151
1.5 oz OJ
1.5 oz Passion fruit nectar
Dash of Angostura bitters
Soda
Hold the soda, pour the rest into a large snifter. Fill with finely crushed ice. Top with soda and stir. Garnish with a whole papaya.

Have the following ingredeints ready: Vodka, Blue Curacao, Fresh lemon juice, fine sugar.

Show Notes
Sometimes you just can't get what you want. Horrible customer service has become a part of life but you can get your point across with dirty language and yelling. David Blaine fails us all, and the new nutritional tv shows...some good and some bad. Pumpkin walks for cancer with Mom, and we talk about Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there!

Newsflash!
The Senate is preparing to Vote on the "Federal Marriage Amendment" This defines Marriage in the United States as only between Man and Woman. Think about this... Regardless about how you personally feel about Gay people getting married. The constitution is no place for this type of discrimination!
This amendment would forever write discrimination into the United States Constitution. The Constitution was written to protect and ensure equality for ALL Americans. This amendment would destroy that equality by rewriting the Constitution to treat same-sex couples differently than other Americans.
Church and State are separate in America! That is what makes our country so great! We are free to pursue our own beliefs. But crazy conservatives are trying to destroy that basic principal which our country was founded on.
Please take 1 minute to visit This Website to ask your senator to Vote against the FMA and defend the principles of freedom and equality in our Constitution.
