And now friends, let’s begin our adventure and set sail to Exotic Tiki Island. In this episode, we’ll be visiting the main beach, the Virgin Volcano and the bamboo bar for some Tiki pirate music. Is everybody ready?
Captain Scotty B, are you ready?
I’m ready, Tiki Brian. My crew has prepared our official ETI sailboat for our adventure back in time. Welcome aboard, Wahinis and Connies.
Make yourself comfortable and enjoy one of my Captain’s Blood cocktail drinks from my Tiki bar. This is one of my personal favorites. This drink consists of Jamaican dark rum, fresh lime juice, Angostura bitters, honey and falernum.
Tiki Brian, tell our friends where they can get the Captain’s Blood cocktail.
I must say, Captain, that is a wonderful Tiki cocktail. And friends, you can check out the recipe by going to exotictikiisland.com and click on the Tiki drinks and cocktails in the top nav bar. You’ll be able to see the full recipe and you can enjoy this Tiki drink in your Tiki bar.
Okay, Tiki Brian, we’re ready.
Indeed, Captain, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day. Let’s set sail to Exotictiki Island.
We have arrived to the main beach on exotic Tiki Island. Let’s keep the music going while we enjoy the calm, gentle breeze blowing in from the South Pacific. Friends, welcome to paradise.
Leave all your stress behind and start living Hawaiian style.
Thanks for watching!
See Wonderful Hawaiian music served up exotic Tiki Island style. Well, friends, how about we make our way up to the Virgin Volcano and watch the natives perform their exotic musical ceremony to pay tribute to the great Virgin Volcano fire goddess Pele. We’ll begin our journey up to the Virgin Volcano right after these messages.
The Exotic Tiki Island podcast will return after these important messages.

Mahalo.
Welcome back to the Exotic Tiki Island Podcast. Let’s head up to the Virgin Volcano and listen to the natives perform their ritual. It’s a bit of a hike and a bit dangerous, but well worth it.
Let’s stay close together and begin our journey.
Pajama waba.
Pajama.
Bumbe-jumbe bum-ba-bum-ba-dum.
Bumbe-jumbe bum-ba-bum-ba-dum.
Bumbe-jumbe bum-ba-dum.
Listen, we are now within hearing distance of the local natives that will be performing a musical exotica ritual in order to appease the virgin volcano fire goddess Pele. The last evening of every month, the local natives pay their respect to Pele and hopes that she will not erupt the virgin volcano and destroy their village with hot molten lava. Let’s move in a little closer and listen to this rare and seldom heard ritual.
I don’t know about you, but to me, that was very impressive. Well friends, let’s leave before they see us, and head down to the Bamboo Bar. Let’s go.

Mahalo. Welcome back to the podcast. Off we go to the bamboo bar.
We have arrived at the Bamboo Bar. Now, for those of you who don’t know about the Bamboo Bar, it’s a small place, very dimly lit, and it kinda gives you the feeling that you’re walking into a dark jungle very late at night. And some of you may not know this, but the Bamboo Bar also is a local hangout for the pirates passing through the area in search for buried treasure.
Let’s go inside and enjoy a tiki drink and listen to what the pirates enjoy before they set out to find Booty.
Ah, welcome, friends. Come in, come in. You’ve chanced upon the boarding house where pirates be a short time parted from the sea.
The weather’s fierce, yet all be well. Come in, we have such tales to tell.
Excuse me. Wait.
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Drink and the devil had done with the rest.
Down to the drinks and down to the stones. Down to the locker of Davy Jones. Down to the crypt of the captain’s bones.
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Drink and the devil had done with the rest.
I prefer root beer.
Pirates on Exotic Tiki Island. You see, friends, there’s always unexpected fun and adventure to be had here on the island. Well, it’s time to head back to the main beach where Captain Scotty B is waiting to take us back to the present day and time.
Off we go to the main beach.
Well friends, sadly it’s time to go home. We hope you’ve enjoyed your visit to the island. Mahalo for listening and supporting the podcast.
