  Speaker 3: On my way to word, I mean, really, it's not

  Speaker 2: is the MASHs casualty training? And he said that that
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: went well? And I said, all right, tell me about
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the tattoo.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: What was it a.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Drunken And he said no, No, he said I was
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: out in a in a truck with two other officers
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: naval people, Max and More I think is who he
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: said he was with HM.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And they were driving to a far part of the.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Island and I looked it up the islands like thirty
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: eight miles.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, long, that's it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: We were driving in a remote part of the island
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: and the truck broke down, and I guess they didn't
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: have They don't have self service there. If you have
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a cell phone, it's you have to use Wi Fi.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: To This was a government vehicle that broke down.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, so there are phones like those emergency phones you
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: know how they used to have on the side of
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the road.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: They have those all over the island in case something
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: like this happens.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: So they called on the emergency phone, our truck broke down.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: We need help.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And in the interim while they were waiting for help
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: to come, they were joined by a wild feral donkey,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: which apparently there are many of them.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: You've said that before, that there are wild donkeys living on.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Them, Yeah, Diego Garcia is home to a population of
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: wild donkeys. These feral animals or descendants of those left
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: behind when the island's coconut plantations were vacated in the.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Seven When you say you say feral, it makes it
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: sound as though they're of vicious But I'm guessing they're not.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: They're just they're just donkeys.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And so they this donkey just kind of hung out
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: with them until help arrived. And for some reason, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: this is the part that I can't can't forgive justus
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: for they were listening to Creed, the band Creed.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah and you take me Hi. They were listening to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that in the truck.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: If they had been listening to the band Government Mule,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: that would make more that would make more sense.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: So to commemorate this event, the three of them went
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: back and I guess somebody in the barracks has a
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: tattoo gun like you do. And they all got matching
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: donkey tattoos.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Let's let's see if we can get some really ugly tattoos.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Is there a guy Is there a guy in the
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: barracks who does a really crappy job at tattooings. This
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: is yeah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And all of the lines coming out from the donkey, Yeah,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the those are supposed to represent radiation because there's a
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: there's a rumor that the donkeys.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Are radio radio.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: They should put a little foot one of those little
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: radioactive symbols on the donkeys.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: But this is a barracks tattoo.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: You know, sitting on somebody's bunk, getting But they all
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: have this, so you know, years from now when they're
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: telling their war stories.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You know, Oh I was. I was in the Iran War.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: My truck broke down and and I met a donkey.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I met a donkey. I got a commemorative well donkey tattoo.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: My guess is that that'll be covered up with some
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: other better tattoo.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: It could, it could be, but it's really bad.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Where is it on his body?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It's on his thigh? Oh great, Like that means whenever
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you go swimming, people are going.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: To see it on the on the upper upper part
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: above the knee. Yeah, on the front of it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I think I can't know it's he said, it's on
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: his thigh, so it's I guess you could technically cover
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: that up.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you were launch or something. It's a story.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I am so glad though, that there is a story
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: associated with it. That it's not just we got drunk
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: one night and somebody bet me to have a tattoo
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: put on.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Because it's this That tattoo screams of drunken rib doesn't
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I read? I read some story years and years ago
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: when I was a kid about drunken sailors, and I
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: don't I don't remember the story exactly or the context,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: but it was drunken sailors and one of them got
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: a tattoo. He was so drunk, and it was he
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: got a pig's foot tattooed on the bottom of his foot.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: That sounds the bottom, Yeah.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: It would, Yeah, it would be painful, and so would
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: the I mean the thigh. If you did it right
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: on the front, not so bad.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: But the inner I think it's right on right on
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: top there.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Besides, you don't want some some guy in the
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: barracks getting that close to them, you know, in your
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: inner thigh. That's a little too close.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: But again, the thing I am most disappointed.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: About Creed honey, really reed, really, really, you could have
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: done you.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Could have done better.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I'm disappointed at him.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: He's not even my kid.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I agree with Kerry, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: you know what, I'm disowning him.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hello sailor boy. It was funny though.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I asked him about the mass casualty training and I said.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: How are they as actors?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: So what they do is they and I guess there
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: were like one hundred people and somebody goes around and says,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you know you got shot you.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: That I've done that before.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And I said how good at actors are they?
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: And he's like not great head, he said, I was.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I was working on one patient and she was she
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: was talking to me, and I'm trying to assess what's
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: going on with her, and there's there are people in
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the room that know what they're kind of assessing it
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and keeping an eye on it, and they know what everybody's.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Ailment to say supposed to be.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: And they came up to him with this girl who
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: was talking to him, and he's like, yeah, I'm trying
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: to figure this one out. And the person running it said, well,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: she's supposed to be unconscious, and he.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Said, well, she's talking to me.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I know. When I did one of those, it was
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: some disaster training thing and earthquake, Yeah, and they recruited
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: a bunch of people from the theater department and it
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: was up at Weaver State and we did it in
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: a dorm dining room, as I recall, and they did
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: assign everybody to be different. I forget what I was
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: supposed to be, but some people like me didn't really
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: take it very seriously and just say yeah, I got
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: a supposed to be a broken arman. And and then
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: there were some people in the theater department, a couple
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: of girls specifically in the theater department, who were acting
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the hell out yeah, wailing, and.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that you need to have that.

• 9:00
  Speaker 2: a casualty.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Event, I think you should. You should be all in with.
