Speaker 2Hey , shout exactly that exactly that .
Speaker 1Wow , this is good .
Speaker 1Hey , shout out to the guy like bro we got fruit punch and pina colada oh my god yeah , it's really good I think you feel a little tiny nuts in there . That's what I'm saying . How did you get the green color ? Though I don't pistachio like , but like it's not fully fully green . Like to get this pistachio is green , like it's not fully fully green . Like to get this pistachio is green though , yeah , but then it has to be some sort of coloring added to it . I don't think so has to be , has to , or like some sort of special pistachio , because man , go open a fucking bag of pistachio , it's like brown and green . They have like this green consistently .
Speaker 2I mean it probably . It probably leaks . Everybody has everything that I see from pistachios always green , obviously , but they add but they add coloring to it .
Speaker 1I haven't seen them add a damn coloring .
Speaker 2I've seen people make cake , Guys .
Speaker 1I'm just trying to be honest , don't get me wrong . It's delicious , I don't care if you throw dye green , I'll drink it .
Speaker 2Hey , this is good too . This just tastes like A little bit too much .
Speaker 1This became a whole Fucking review episode . It's supposed to be a recap .
Speaker 2Yeah , sorry , this tastes like Grenadine a lot though , oh , but this is like .
Speaker 1Really fruit punch ? I'm not gonna like it then .

Speaker 1shit , you just tossed it On the floor . Yeah , cause you talking recap episode ? We're gonna get into it . We have some restaurants . We want to talk about some places . Definitely not about monday caribbean . This one's not for me .
Speaker 2I don't like this one I don't know how I feel about this one . No , we started off really good .
Speaker 1I think that needs that needs alcohol for sure no yeah , no , for sure I think he did mention something about what they go extra
A Recap of Our Amazing Trip
Speaker 1damn give it to you you know what he did ? Give us two bottles , one was apart and one was like in the bag maybe there's the other one in the , so in here ingredients pineapple juice , coconut and milk . I like , I like , pina colada .
Speaker 2I love pina coladas . Smells good , it doesn't taste bad . It tastes good , but it needs alcohol . Something is missing Alcohol , that's a little rum , dark rum , dark rum .
Speaker 1Yeah , throw some baccata in there , some spice rum .
Speaker 2Yeah , a spice rum would do it , for sure it's not bad .
Speaker 1No , I All right . Let's rate it Number one . I say pistachio , I feel like pistachio and passion fruit . Pina Colada and then fruit punch last . I don't know , that's my .
Speaker 2If I have to just say it based off of what it just is right now , with no added nothing , I would say the fruit punch might come before the pina colada , because the pina colada to me really needs the alcohol for me to be like , ooh , this is the shit , yeah , this is good shit .
Speaker 1Yeah , it's really good . There's even a little peanut floating over there .
Speaker 2We've been said that All right , let's move on .

We went on location because we wanted to record at their place , showcase the place a little bit . One thing and hopefully I fixed this is the audio , because there's a lot of wind and stuff , so you will hear like a lot of wind in the background , which hopefully in post-production I'll be able to fix . If not deal with it , because I'm sorry yeah like it is what it is it gives you the element like you're there as well .
Speaker 1Exactly , it's on location , Bro . It was windy , it was hot , but it's still windy . Super nice location . Like we didn't get to spend like a day you know what I mean Like hang out in the pool , the food's good .
