2026 International Talk Like a Pirate Day – Celebrate with ETI Radio with hosts Plankboard McPete, Bard Broadside, and our newest pirate host, Captain Brinebeard!
September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, a worldwide celebration of nautical nonsense, rum‑soaked revelry, and swashbuckling silliness.
This year, Exotic Tiki Island brings you the ultimate pirate experience — complete with a special ETI Radio broadcast, pirate mocktails, themed food, music playlists, and a full guide to talking like a true buccaneer.
What Is Talk Like a Pirate Day?
Talk Like a Pirate Day began in 1995 when two friends — John “Ol’ Chumbucket” Baur and Mark “Cap’n Slappy” Summers — jokingly shouted pirate phrases during a racquetball game.
The idea spread, newspapers picked it up, and today it’s celebrated globally.

"Hoist the sails, mates! Bart Broadside be joinin’ the crew with shanties, songs, and stories of legendary pirate escapades. If ye hear music driftin’ across the waves, it be me — unless it’s ghosts. Probably me."
