Aloha, friends, and welcome to the Exotic Tiki Island Podcast. I’m your host, Tiki Brian, and this is show number 30. Join me for another adventure back in time to Exotic Tiki Island as I play vintage Hawaiian, Exotica, and island-related music from my vintage vinyl and digital collection.

Captain Scotty B, are we ready? Absolutely, Tiki Brian. The rocket thrusters are charged up and ready for blast off.

Blast off?

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. We’ll be traveling to Exotic Tiki Island by the way of the rocket shuttle. Tiki Brian, meet the Big Kahuna.

It’s the fastest rocket in existence.

This bad boy can produce over 2.5 million pounds of thrust and is going to send us light years back in time to Exotic Tiki Island.

Here’s the cool thing.

After our initial launch, I’ll activate the deep sleep sequence so we can relax to the Hawaiian Enchanted music for our long journey. When we reach Exotic Tiki Island, the deep sleep sequence will deactivate and it will feel like we’ve only been asleep for about 20 minutes. Pretty cool, huh?

That sounds pretty amazing, Captain. Okay, friends, are we ready to blast off and travel light years back in time to Exotic Tiki Island?

Great.

Let’s board the rocket and prepare for our journey.

All right. Is everyone buckled in?

Fine.

Launch Control, this is Captain Scotty B.

The big kahuna is go for launch.

I’m turning the controls over to you, Launch Control.

We are on Pacific Island number 407, almost directly upon the equator, where the Earth’s spin is at its maximum.

The lazy quiet of this beautiful tropical place is being violated by the hubbub of scientific activity, as we make last-minute preparations for man’s first voyage to outer.

Minus 120 seconds.

Hatches are closed.

All personnel, clear the launch platform. Minus 100 seconds. The rocket is poised to wear cradle and acceleration couches.

Soon a spasm of flame will hurtle us into the heavens toward an incredible island in the sky.

The orbital spaceport. Terminus Terra 1.

Minus 60 seconds.

Launch Control, mahalo for that wonderful send-off. Okay, everyone, I’m initiating the deep sleep sequence.

We’ll be awake when we arrive to the island. Here we go.

Initiating Hawaiian deep sleep sequence now.

Thanks for watching!

Awaken, land of golden people, lush, tropical forests, verdant valleys with hidden waterfalls, the shimmering surf caressing the cool sand, the fragrance of exotic blossoms riding the gentle trade winds, ever-changing cloud patterns with crystals of feathery rain forming a thousand greenbows. These are some of the island treasures you’ll find in the wonderful world of Aloha.

All these bring a memory of good friends, and of our own people in the far places, and wish that you were with us here in Hawaii. This fine day. We just took the temperature, air 79, ocean 76, that’s Fahrenheit.

These are the waves and steel guitars, sounds that mean you’re hearing us from the islands as white coals.

This is the beat of Waikiki.

And all of us here are at the big Moana Banyan Tree.

And along the Golden Sands, have a big welcome for you.

We say, aloha as Hawaii call.

This broadcast comes to you from the world famous ballroom of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Honolulu. And we present for your enjoyment at this time, the Royal Hawaiian Orchestra, under the direction of Keamoku Lewis. Everyone is having a marvelous time.

It’s a great night, and the full moon rides high in the sky. There’s a heavy tropic fragrance in the air.

Well, that’s not strange.

Deactivating Hawaiian Deep Sleep Sequence now.

3…2…1…

Welcome back to the Exotic Tiki Island Podcast. What do you say we venture up to Voodoo Peak for a bird’s eye view of the Forbidden Lagoon? We will be able to listen to the island natives perform another evening of Exotica music down on the lagoon.

Let’s start our adventure by walking on the Jungle Trail up to Voodoo Peak. Here we go!

We have arrived at Voodoo Peak. Let’s be very quiet and look over the ledge down onto the natives getting ready to start their night of Exotica music. This ceremony is seldom seen by the outsiders, so you’re in for a real treat, and be sure not to let them see you.

So let’s sit back, relax, and enjoy the rhythms of the natives on Exotica Tiki Island.

Amazing, isn’t it? Watching the natives perform their ceremony is one of the highlights of traveling to Exotic Tiki Island. Well, friends, it’s time to head back to the main beach and prepare for our rocket ride home.

Let’s go. You’re listening to Tiki Brian and the Exotic Tiki Island Podcast. Aloha, friends.
