Ladies and gentlemen, I’m very excited to tell you that our sponsor, the 1940s World War II era ball, is back again this year, celebrating their 8th annual 1940s World War II era ball event. You’re invited to take a trip back in time at the Boulder Airport in Colorado on Saturday, June 18th.

Step into Hollywood’s World War II planes. Experience World War II plane flybys, vehicles, and reenactors. Enjoy a night of dancing with your sweetheart, or maybe even meet one as you listen to the most sought after big bands around.

Enter our hanger made into Casablanca’s Rick’s Cafe American with belly dancers and even a roulette table that attendees can play on. See 1940s cars, a sexy pinup contest, swing dance lessons, and a dance contest. This year’s 1940s World War II era ball theme is The Tiki Explosion After World War II.

Welcome back to the podcast. Let’s begin our adventure by putting on these diving suits and prepare for our scuba dive back in time to Exotic Tiki Island. Is everyone ready?

Captain, are you ready? I’m ready, Tiki Brian. Let’s go.

Friends, let’s dive to Exotic Tiki Island.

Brian, the view from down here is simply amazing. Indeed, Captain, the current is taking us directly to Exotic Tiki Island. Let’s continue pushing forward as we enjoy this Exotica musical interlude.

Welcome, Wahinis and Coneys to the main beach on Exotic Tiki Island. It’s a beautiful sunny day, the weather is warm, and the breeze is calm. My friends, you are now in paradise.

I think it’s the perfect time for the captain to make us a tiki drink while we relax right here on the main beach. Captain, what lovable liquid libation would you like to share with us today? I have a wonderful tiki drink that everyone is going to enjoy.

This drink is called the Captain Morgan Rum Runner. Here’s how you make the Captain Morgan Rum Runner. In your shaker, combine ½ ounce of Captain Morgan’s Original Spiced Rum, ¾ ounce Captain Morgan’s Grapefruit Rum, ½ ounce of Banana Liqueur, ½ ounce of Grenadine, ½ ounce of Orange Juice, ½ ounce of Pineapple Juice, and ½ ounce of Lime Juice.

To glass, you will need a Hurricane Glass. Add the Captain Morgan’s Original Spiced Rum, Captain Morgan’s Grapefruit Rum, Banana Liqueur, Grenadine, Orange Juice, Pineapple Juice, and Lime Juice into the shaker. Shake with ice and strain into your Hurricane Glass.

Garnish with an orange slice, and enjoy! Wow, that’s very tasty, Captain. And listeners, if you would like to make the Captain Morgan Rum Runner at your Tiki Bar, you can head over to the official exotictikiisland.com website and click on the Tiki Drinks and Cocktails in the top nav bar, and you’ll see the recipe for the Captain Morgan Rum Runner.

Well, I must say, the weather is perfect, the drinks are perfect, all we need now is some music. So, let’s relax right here on the main beach for a bit, while I play some vintage Hawaiian music for you to enjoy.

Let’s continue our adventure and hike up to the northeast end of the island. This way, my friends, this way.

Thank Listen, do you hear that? Up ahead, there’s something peeking out from the bushes. Oh, it’s our good friend Shrunken Head Ned.

Now, don’t be afraid, friends. Go up to Ned and see what words of wisdom he has for you.

Oh, no! This is worse than I ever imagined. We’ll have to remove the entire head.

Luckily, in your case, you won’t miss it. Yes, a bit of jungle humor there, eh, what? My advice is to stand on one foot, jump up and down, and repeat after me, the zombies-ay makes me sneezy.

The zombies-ay makes me sneezy. Then take the advice tendered below, and thank you so much for patronizing Shrunken Ned, the jungle’s only self-service witch doctor. Mahalo, Shrunken Head Ned, we’ll see you soon.

And friends, let’s continue our hike to the rivers of adventure.

We have arrived at the northeast end of the island, and just up ahead is the Rivers of Adventure. Let’s climb aboard the riverboat and enjoy the ride, the scenery, and of course, the music. Captain, is everyone ready?

Is everyone ready? Please keep your nose, toes, and elbows inside the boat until the boat comes to complete stop. Here we.

Tiki Brian, up ahead is the main beach. I’ll dock the boat and we can prepare for our scuba dive back home to the present day and time. Sounds like a plan, Captain.
