Aloha, friends, and welcome to another episode of the Exotic Tiki Island Podcast. My name is Tiki Brian, and this is show number 36. For the next hour, I’ll be taking you on an exotic paradise voyage back into yesteryear, where I’ll be playing vintage Hawaiian, exotica, and tiki music from my vinyl and digital music collection.

So lay back in your hammock, take a sip of your favorite cocktail, relax and enjoy some musical treasures right here on the Exotic Tiki Island Podcast.

Before we begin the show, I’d like to send out some big mahalos to some listeners who made a donation over the past month to help me offset the expense of keeping this podcast going. Big mahalos go out to Jim Jensen, Charlene Hall, Steve Bell, Kona Norm, and Eric with his five-year-old daughter, Chloe, who enjoys listening to the podcast. Eric asked me to send out a special mahalo to Chloe, so mahalo, Chloe, I’m very glad you’re enjoying the podcast.
And Chloe, here’s a special aloha from Captain Scotty B. Welcome aboard. Mahalo for listening to the show, and I hope you’re ready for some fun adventures on Exotic Tiki Island.
And now, friends, let’s begin our adventure. In this episode, we’ll be taking a special cruise to Exotic Tiki Island. Captain Scotty B, why don’t you tell our friends what to expect on this fantastic adventure?
Sure thing, Tiki Brian. Welcome aboard, Wahinis and Kanis, get ready for another fun adventure on Exotic Tiki Island. Today’s voyage includes a special performance by our ETI Steel Band performers.
They will be performing some Hawaiian and Exotica classics during our journey to the island. I would also like to invite you to try one of my tiki drinks for my tiki ball. I recommend the Golden Wave Cocktail.
This cocktail won first prize in 1969 International Bartenders Guild Competition, held in Spain. If you’d like to make this drink at your cocktail bar, here’s the recipe. One ounce of unsweetened pineapple juice.
Three quarter ounce of fresh lemon juice. Half ounce of triple sec. Half ounce of falernum.
One ounce of light Puerto Rican rum. Three quarter cup of crushed ice. Put everything in a blender.
Blend at high speed for five seconds. Pour unstrained into a tulip glass or any specialty glass you have. If necessary, add ice cubes to fill.
Garnish with a pineapple spear. And enjoy. Okay, does everyone have their Golden Wave cocktail?
Fine, I’ll cue the ETI Steel Band performers and we’ll begin our adventure. Wonderful, Captain. And now let’s head to exotic Tiki Island.
Okay, Tiki Brian, we have arrived at Exotic Tiki Island. Please watch your step as you disembark. Watch your step.
Please watch your step. And you, please watch your step. Welcome to the main beach on Exotic Tiki Island.
Let’s enjoy some Hawaiian musical treasures while we relax in these hammocks and take in the warm, gentle trade wind blowing in from the Pacific Ocean. My friends, you have reached paradise.
How’s everyone doing? I hope you’re enjoying the music as much as I am. What do you say we take the jungle trail down to the Aloha Beach?
The islanders have invited us to join them for another Hukilau and Luau in celebration of the island’s heritage. Once we arrive, not only will we experience the best Hawaiian food around, but we’ll also enjoy the music that reminds us of paradise. We’ll begin our adventure to the Aloha Beach right after these important messages.
The Exotic Tiki Island Podcast will return after these important messages. Attention listeners, attention listeners, this just in from the Jungle Telegraph Line. Take a trip back in time at the Boulder, Colorado airport on June 13th, 2015, as we present the seventh annual 1940s World War II era ball.
Come experience a 1940’s USO style show featuring world renowned entertainers like Frank Sinatra.
Bob Poole. How do you do ladies and gentlemen? This is Bob, that wasn’t my scotch that fell out of the plain hope.
The Andrew Sisters. Abbott and Costello. Have you got two tens for a five?
Just so happen to have it. That’s enough. And Walt Disney, plus many more.
Step into Hollywood’s World War II planes. Enjoy a night of dancing with your sweetheart. Or maybe even meet one.
You’ll experience World War II plane flybys, military vehicles and reenactors listening to the most sought after big bands under the nose of a World War II bomber. Plus, enter our hanger, made into Casablanca’s Rick’s Cafe Americana with belly dancers, Sam, Rick and even a roulette table that attendees can play on.
