Request Line: Non-Alcoholic Beverages

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

Hey man, are you there?

…yeah, I’m here.

I’m gonna need a bit of an assist today.

…still a bit wobbly from last night, huh?

Just a bit.

…don’t sweat it, I’ve got you.  Let’s roll.

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

The PRODUCER sits at the soundboard, looking as cheerful as we’ve ever seen him.  DJ 3000 is relaxing in his regular spot.

DJ 3000: YOU’RE LOOKING POSITIVELY EBULLIENT TODAY.

PRODUCER: Ebullient?

DJ 3000: EFFERVESCENT.

PRODUCER: Oh – yeah!  I was expecting to spend today worrying about the prospect of a hung jury for an important court case, but…now I don’t have to! What’s with the fancy words? Did they push out an update to your vocabulary module?

DJ 3000: NO, I JUST ADJUSTED THE ELOQUENCE SETTINGS TO THEIR PINNACLE.

PRODUCER: I’m also pleased because I managed to line up a guest for today.

DJ 3000: SPLENDID.  IS THEIR ARRIVAL IMMINENT? WE’RE SCHEDULED TO BEGIN TRANSMISSION PRESENTLY.

PRODUCER: Actually, they’re on house arrest, so I’ll need to you patch them through via Zoom.

DJ 3000: INDUBITABLY.

— [ZOOM CALL FLIES OPEN] —

DJ 3000: SENATOR REID? WHAT AN HONOR!

PRODUCER: [confused] Senator?

DJ 3000: HA HA, JUST BEING FACETIOUS, IT IS BROADLY KNOWN THAT BRITT REID ISN’T A MISSOURI STATE SENATOR.

BRITT REID: [hiccups, takes a long drink from a bottle full of colored liquid]

PRODUCER: What’s that you’re drinking, Britt?

BRITT REID: [holds up the bottle]

PRODUCER: Ah, I see someone else was celebrating last night’s verdict too.

BRITT REID: Verdict? Shit, did I miss another court date? Ah, fuck…

PRODUCER: No, no, the conviction of, uh…never mind.  Thanks for joining us, Britt.

BRITT REID: Sure, sure.  Can we keep this quick, though?  I’m kinda busy.

PRODUCER: Busy? It looks like you’re just lounging around by the pool.

BRITT REID: [nods along] Yeah, house arrest sucks.

DJ 3000: INDEED. PERHAPS IF YOU COULD BE SO GENEROUS AS TO PROVIDE US WITH A SUBJECT FOR TODAY’S PROGRAM, WE CAN RELEASE YOU TO RESUME YOUR PREVIOUS ACTIVITIES.

BRITT REID: Um…sure. [glances at bottle] How about non-alcoholic drinks?

PRODUCER: Huh.  Sure, why not?

DJ 3000: STATISTICAL ANALYSIS SUGGESTS WE MIGHT WANT TO ADD A COROLLARY OR TWO TO EXPAND THE ASSEMBLAGE OF AVAILABLE CANDIDATES.

PRODUCER: Okay…how about we include songs about vessels that could potentially contain non-alcoholic beverages?

DJ 3000: THAT SHOULD SUFFICE.

PRODUCER: Britt, you okay with that?

BRITT REID: Huh? Oh, yeah, sure, whatever.

PRODUCER: Got something to start us out with?

BRITT REID: Sure, let’s roll with a little Vampire Weekend.

Today’s theme is non-alcoholic beverages, and the potential containers thereof (cups, chalices, bottles, etc).  Basically anything potable that doesn’t contain alcohol is fair game, but if you request songs about water please make them ones that are specifically about drinking water.  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?b(!B_5qU33z3 and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Roll the Bones” by Rush was requested by 2Pack, but went unclaimed as the puzzle answer until BeefRiverLives scooped it up a day later. Bottoms up!
