Show number 37. That, my friends, is a lot of shows.

In this episode, we’re going to take a nice relaxing boat ride to exotic Tiki Island. Captain SkyDB is approaching the dock now and as soon as he pulls in, we’ll hop on board and begin our adventure. Tiki Brian, I have some really bad news.
My boat engine is in need of repair. I’m very sorry, but it looks like we’re not going to make it to the Exotic Tiki Island tonight. Oh no, that’s horrible.
Everyone’s here and ready to go. What are we gonna do now?
Now.
Hey, what’s on that commotion over there on the other side of the dock? Oh, it’s Captain Bogg and his Pollywag pirate ship. Looks like he’s searching for some new recruits to join him for another high-seas adventure in search of booty.
My Neptune spear, if you joins me and me likely lads, you’ll be spinning your coats out of gold. You’ll have all the salt, pork and hard tack you can stow away.
You’ll drift off to sleep each night with the gentle lullaby of the mermaid song.
You’ll not need scallywags and we’ll anchor with Captain Angus Bog aboard the Pollywog, the most sea fairness craft, whatever slip port. Jump ship from all them other bilge rats and live the life of a pirate.
Tiki Brian, I have a wonderful idea. Why don’t we try to join Captain Bogg’s crew and ask if he can take us to the exotic Tiki Island? That’s a fantastic idea, Captain.
I’ll go over and speak with Captain Bogg and see if he’ll accommodate us. In the meantime, why don’t you serve our friends a Tiki cocktail and I’ll be right back. Sounds like a plan, Tiki Brian.
All right, wahinis and connies, gather around my dockside Tiki bar and join me as I prepare the liquid libation. Today’s drink is called Pirate’s Punch. Here’s the recipe in case you listeners want to make this drink at your Tiki bar.
Combine in a shaker, one and a half ounces of cocksper fine rum, three quarter ounce of Bo’s banana liqueur and one and a half ounce of lime juice. Then simply shake ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass and serve. Cheers, my friend.
I hope you enjoy the Pirate’s Punch cocktail. I’m back, Captain. I spoke with Captain Bogg and he’s very excited to escort us to Exotic Tiki Island.
Okay, friends, let’s board the Poliwag pirate ship and begin our adventure to Exotic Tiki Island.
Salty, look lively there. Tie off the mizzen mask and hoist the yarn arm, boyo. Double quick, you little spritzel.
Boyo, come.
Hey.
Good work today, lads. Tward nothing, can’t I?
I’m right proud of you, some of you new recruits, too.
We’ll make Buccaneers out of some of you guppies, yes. All right, now, it’s a hard day we have ahead of us to marry, so bundle off to your quarters, double quick now, and lay two for some much-needed shut-eye. Late night, watch and laugh!
Aye, aye, cop!
Oh, I got a whisky for me now, Mary, don’t you know?
What is it, Salty?
Could we have a story before we go to sleep?
So, it’s a bedtime tale, yippee-wotton, eh? Aye, sir!
Well, well. What’ll it be, then, boys? Oh, oh, give us a scary story, Captain.
Very well. Here’s a tale that’ll shiver your timbers proper.
I’ll tell you the time I saw Captain Billy Bones.
Well, Captain, Billy Bones and his ship the Marauder disappeared over a hundred years ago. Aye, that it did, McGraw. That it did.
Who’s Billy Bones? Don’t tell me you’ve never heard of Captain Billy Bones.
Why, he was the most ferocious, notorious, vicious pirate whatever flew the flag. What I’m about to tell you is as true as oak, or by thunder you can pickle me in brine. Why, to think on it now makes me spine jump like a porpoise.
It were a terrible night. A no-no east wind had split our mainsail and dropped us thirty leagues off our compass. Half the crew was struck below with the fever, so it was back then that a cabin yonker like me was left to man the ship.
The moon hung like a rotten peach over the gundle, and I had only the moon of the buckbolts and me wits to keep me company.
The ship stopped on a pin, and the sea went flat as a looking glass. A fog so thick it could only come from Davy’s locker itself, rose up out of the waves and swallowed the stars.
It was the ghost of Billy’s ship, a-slicin through the foam. The ship was thin as vapors and teeming from stem to stern with the spectral crew of the Marauder. But what truly chilled me gizzard that night was the sound of old Billy Bones himself, spoutin off his orders to the rest of them ill-fated apparition.
And that’s the tale.
Captain Bogg?
What is it, Salty?
He won’t come back, will he?
Now go to sleep.
Captain Bogg?
Yes, Salty.
Good night, Captain Bogg.
Good night, Salty.
Charts as requested, sir. Thank you, McGraw.
Now, let’s do it, lads. As I sees it, if we sails windward of Nook Neshigah and keep a tight lash on the stays, we can skirt about Tortuga by Tuesday.
What be that foolery? I can’t hear me brains. Sorry, sir!
Salty! He will blow me down for a busted barnacle.
Ahem, where was I then?
Windward of Nook Neshigah, sir.
Here, sir?
Yes, ahem, well, as I sees it, once in sight of Tortuga, we throws a signal that the plague be on deck. Sunny Jim and Ramshackle will pretend to have the fever on them. Like this, Captain?
Yes, that’s right. Yes, please, please, stop now. Meanwhile, McGraw and Buckle be below with all the black powder ready to charge.
Yes, I thought you’d like that.
Now, as for me self and Mr. Filibuster, we’ll fit out the Jolly Boat with the long line and set to drift the… Sea foam and whale’s bile.
I thought I told you to belay that ninny rattle. We’re trying to plan our Tortuga caper.
What is that?
Oh, it’s me new phonograph record of me favorite band, High Jacket Tanger. Why so special then, sir, guys?
Uh-huh.
Well, I couldn’t help but notice what a disruption it is. But it’s the latest craze in Port Royal. Oh, come on, Captain.
All right, all right, you pleadin pups. If we listen to it once, and I mean once, will you get back to bein diabolical plattin pirates for like an hour or so?
Yes.
All right, take it away, salty.
Thanks We have arrived to exotic Tiki Island. Mahalo, Captain Bogg, for that wonderful ride. I hope you find that booty you’re after.
So long, Captain Bogg. We will continue with our show right after this short break and listen to a few words from our sponsors. Attention listeners, attention listeners, this just in from the Jungle Telegraph Line.

So for the rest of the show, let’s lay back in these hammocks underneath the palm trees and tune into ETI Radio while enjoying Hawaiian music from yesteryear.
By radio, the sound of paradise and pleasure. Aloha.
Stay up with me as we spin the vinyl from our tiki hut to yours. ETI radio continues now.
Metro Golden Mare presents a musical review of Honolulu, a new musical lulu inspired by the romance and beauty of Hawaii, the paradise of the Pacific. The top-ranking role in Honolulu is played by your Broadway melody girl, Eleanor Powell, as the lovely hula queen of the islands, aided and abetted by such outstanding favorites as Robert Young, George Burns and Gracie Allen, and Rita Johnson. Gracie Allen reveals herself to be not only a very fine comedian, but also some pumpkins as a vocalizer.
Gracie twangs a meme ukulele as she sings Honolulu and gets grade-A support as she is followed by the famous Pied Pipers in the same number.
The station listened to the most in the South Pacific. ETI Radio, keeping vintage Hawaiian alive.
