  Speaker 3: Up and roll there something. I'm not going to kidnap
• 3:49

  Speaker 2: then he he hopped on the military flight to Diego.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Garcia got off the plane said I've got this phone
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: for this, and the guy was he was thrilled. He's like,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: we're best buddies. Now I brought him his phone back.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: I think there must be a little bit more to
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: this story that you either are not telling us or
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: you didn't think to ask and what The first thing
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: I would have asked him was, how did you verify
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: this when the guy called you on the phone? How
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: did you Because I don't think your son is stupid.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: I think he did something to verify.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I am sure there are some you know, this officer
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: so and so, and you were sailor so and so
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and your official sailor number is the kid.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I did not ask.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Well, whatever he said led Festus to believe that this
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: was an actual, an actual thing.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Seeah.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: What's weird about it, too, is I would I think
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: I would have said, why don't you have the Singapore
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: police bring.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: It to me?
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Why do I have to get into a taxi and
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: go someplace that I don't know?
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: And get this phone.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: My guess is the Singapore.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you had your phone stolen here, a
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: police officer isn't going to drive it to your house.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: They're going to say it's at the station.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: They might come pick it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, they wouldn't drive it to your house.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: It's a this is a special circumstance.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: This is a sailor and in a waiting area of
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: an airport or something.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: I think that's certainly a special circumstance. I would have said,
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: if he really wants the phone back, I think they
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: could bring it to me that I would see. I
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: would have been way too cautious about that. I'm just
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: too suspicious.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I whatever it is, it has it's And I said,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I hope you are are friends with this guy for years.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So someday someone can say, hey, how'd you guys meet?
• 5:48

• 5:53
