Alright friends, are you ready to travel to Exotic Tiki Island? In this show, Captain Scotty B is going to fly us to the island in his Pan Am Clipper, also known as a flying boat. Everyone prepare to board the plane.
Welcome Wahineys and Connie’s to Captain Scotty B’s non-stop flight to paradise. Please watch your step as you board. After you find your seat and get situated, our flight attendants will be serving a tiki cocktail made by Tiki Mom.
Hurry up now, time’s a-wastin. There’s only a few seats left. Welcome aboard and watch your step.
Okay, Captain, we’re all on board and we’re ready for takeoff. Great, Tiki Brian. I’m headed up to the cockpit and begin our departure.
After we reach our flying altitude, we can begin to serve our tiki cocktails. Sounds like a plan, Captain. Aloha, Wahineys and Connie’s.
Welcome aboard ETI Airlines. We’re very pleased you decided to fly with us today. Please make sure your seatbelt is fastened and your trays are in their upright position.
After the captain gives us the okay, we’ll be serving our complimentary Tiki cocktail. In the meantime, sit back, relax, and enjoy your flight to exotic Tiki Island.
One ounce of fresh squeezed lime juice, half ounce of honey, one ounce of apple juice, half ounce of velvet fulernum or fulernum syrup, two ounces of dark Jamaican rum, one ounce of aged gold Jamaican rum, we recommend Appleton Signature, two ounces of ginger beer, four ounces of crushed ice. Here’s how to make the come on, I want to lay you. Dissolve the honey and lime juice, reserve the ginger beer, add all the rest ingredients to the blender, blend at high speed for no more than five seconds, add ginger beer and stir to mix.
Pour into large glass and tiki mug and top off glass with crushed ice to fill. Delightful. And listeners, this drink was created by our very own ETI radio mixologist, Tiki Mon.

All right, friends, sit back and enjoy the rest of your flight to Exotic Tiki Island.
Uh-oh, it looks like we’re having an issue with one of our engines. Attention, passengers! It seems as though we have lost one of our engines.
Now, don’t panic, we still have another one that is fully capable of getting us to the island.
What was that? Attention, passengers! It seems as though we have lost our second engine.
Now, it is time to panic! I’m going to try to land this on a nearby island! Hold on tight!
We’re going down! Oh, boy! I hope the captain can get this plane on the ground in one piece!
Hey, is everyone okay? Tiki Brian, are you okay? Yes, Captain.
I think all of us made it in one piece. You did a great job holding this plane together during our crash landing. The question now is, where are we?

I don’t like this place. Look over there, Tiki Brian. See the spears with skulls on the end of them sticking in the ground?
I see them, Captain. We are in headhunter territory, and these are not friendly headhunters. Captain, I may be wrong, but I don’t think there’s such thing as a friendly headhunter.
We are in great danger. Let’s hide in the jungle before we’re spotted. Everyone, follow me.
Captain, look, up ahead, I see several outrigger canoes. If we could make it to one of the canoes, and out of the lagoon, we should be able to catch a trade wind and make it to Exotic Tiki Island. Sounds easier said than done.
Look over there, about 50 yards from the canoes, it’s entrance to the Headhunters’ village. This is going to be tough. We’ve got to at least try, Captain.
We don’t have any other choice. Friends, stay close together, and let’s move very quietly towards the canoes. We can do this.
Stay low and quiet, friends. We’re almost there.
Okay, friends, the canoes are just in front of those bushes. On a count of three, let’s all make a run for it. Captain, are you ready?
I’m ready! Okay, one, two.
Let’s go!
Put me down! Stop that! Okay, okay, we give up.
Don’t hurt us.
The headhunters have surrounded Tiki Brian, the captain, and all of their Tiki friends, and they have spears pointed at their heads. Is this the end of Tiki Brian and his friends? Will the headhunters be adding new shrunken heads to their collection?
Can anything save them from this perilous situation?
Find out next time on Show 55.5 of The Exotic Tiki Island Podcast.
