Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's Haystack.

Speaker A:

And today is one of those national holidays that celebrates a certain cocktail that I think is kind of designed for people who don't really actually like alcohol.

Speaker B:

I don't like drinking liquor.

Speaker B:

I.

Speaker A:

Hate it burning my tongue.

Speaker A:

I don't like Budweiser, but I want to get drunk.

Speaker A:

I got a real bad sweet tooth.

Speaker A:

So what I order instead has got rum and coconut with a pineapple wedge.

Speaker B:

I love pina colada, and this is my special day.

Speaker B:

Don't take shots of tequila.

Speaker B:

Cause I don't like the taste.

Speaker B:

Make a drink with lots of sugar.

Speaker B:

Might as well eat a cake.

Speaker B:

And by this time tomorrow, I will have a headache.

Speaker A:

I mean, let's be fair.

Speaker A:

Nobody orders a pina colada because they love the bold taste of rum.

Speaker A:

They order it because they want to get drunk without their mouth finding out about it.

Speaker A:

It's the only drink that arrives looking like it needs sunscreen.

Speaker A:

Pineapple, coconut, crushed ice, tiny umbrella.

Speaker A:

It's not a beverage.

Speaker A:

It's a tropical witness protection program for alcohol.

Speaker A:

I mean, real alcohol.

Speaker A:

Walks into the room like, I'm whiskey.

Speaker A:

This might hurt.

Speaker A:

A pina colada slides in wearing flips up flip flops going, hey, you like fruit?

Speaker A:

The people drinking them always act surprised when it hits too.

Speaker A:

They're like, whoa, I feel dizzy.

Speaker A:

Pina Colada day is perfect because nobody can look tough holding one.

Speaker A:

You could be the biggest, burliest guy in the bar.

Speaker A:

Big leather jacket, tattoos, beard like a lumberjack.

Speaker A:

Once you're holding a frozen coconut drink with a pink umbrella, you look like you're waiting for your spa appointment.

Speaker A:

And there's always the one person who says you can't even taste the alcohol.

Speaker A:

Well, exactly.

Speaker A:

It's what children say about cough syrup when you mix it with juice.

Speaker A:

So happy Pina Colada Day to everyone who wants the effects of rum.

Speaker A:

With the emotional support of a milkshake, drink responsibly.

Speaker A:

Or at least remove the tiny umbrella before it.

Speaker B:

Accidentally goes.

Speaker A:

Up your nose.
