- 0:14Speaker 3: Yeah, he didn't realize what time it was.
- 0:16Speaker 2: He doesn't remember where you were.
- 0:18Speaker 3: We're twelve hours of difference where he is. And Diego Garcia.
- 0:22Speaker 2: I actually heard Diego Garcia mentioned in the news somewhere yesterday.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Well, because it's it's I thought when he got sent there,
- 0:31Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, he's in the middle of the
- 0:33Speaker 1: Indian Ocean.
- 0:34Speaker 3: Nothing bad can happen to him there.
- 0:36Speaker 1: But there's Diego Garcia has been popping up in the
- 0:39Speaker 1: news because you know, President Trump is threatening war with Iran.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's a strategic place for that.
- 0:47Speaker 1: And uh, it's it's a it's a British territory. So
- 0:52Speaker 1: the United States has to get permission from the Brits.
- 0:56Speaker 2: And did they say they wouldn't give permission?
- 0:58Speaker 3: Apparently not, So that's why that's.
- 1:00Speaker 2: And that's what they say. They said, you don't have permission.
- 1:03Speaker 3: To launch launch from there. That's why it's been in
- 1:06Speaker 3: the news.
- 1:07Speaker 1: But Festus can't talk about any of that because you know,
- 1:09Speaker 1: that's that's top secret military stuff.
- 1:12Speaker 2: You can talk about it.
- 1:13Speaker 3: Well, it's just in the news. We're recording what's in
- 1:15Speaker 3: the news.
- 1:16Speaker 1: But a couple of weeks ago, I was telling you
- 1:19Speaker 1: about how things a Festus is missing being stuck on
- 1:22Speaker 1: this island, and one of them was he misses Taco Bell.
- 1:27Speaker 1: There's no fast food on the island. He misses Taco Bell.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Taco Bell really should be advertising on our show.
- 1:34Speaker 1: And some friend of the program said, you know, you
- 1:37Speaker 1: can get this crunch wrap Supreme kit which has everything
- 1:42Speaker 1: but the meat in it, I guess, and I'm like, oh,
- 1:45Speaker 1: that would be fun to send him. M hm. So
- 1:48Speaker 1: I go on Amazon and and I know what you're
- 1:52Speaker 1: going to say about me going on Amazon, but they are.
- 1:55Speaker 1: They are really good about shipping. They're pretty good about
- 1:59Speaker 1: shipping things to this island. And I went on Amazon
- 2:04Speaker 1: and I found the crunch wraps at Preme and I'm like, great,
- 2:06Speaker 1: I'm gonna send this to Festus. Well, for some reason,
- 2:09Speaker 1: there are things that Amazon won't send to the island.
- 2:12Speaker 3: And I don't know if it's the military blocks it
- 2:14Speaker 3: or what. I've had some success sending things to the island.
- 2:18Speaker 1: It just says it just says this is not available
- 2:20Speaker 1: for shipping where you want it to go.
- 2:23Speaker 2: What kinds of things.
- 2:25Speaker 1: It's a lot of food kind of stuff mostly, So
- 2:30Speaker 1: I was like, oh, damn, O, Well, I'll come up
- 2:32Speaker 1: with something else, which is when I took Carries comic
- 2:37Speaker 1: books that he gave me to send, and I made
- 2:39Speaker 1: my own little package of that, and I put some
- 2:42Speaker 1: taco bell stuff in it and some other treats and things,
- 2:45Speaker 1: and then I went just to the regular post office
- 2:47Speaker 1: to send to send that.
- 2:51Speaker 3: Well, and I.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Order other things from Amazon from time to time, and
- 2:54Speaker 1: I had ordered something for the Destruction of America, and
- 3:00Speaker 1: I realized I ordered something a long time ago and
- 3:02Speaker 1: it hasn't come yet.
- 3:03Speaker 3: So I went on my Amazon account to track my order.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I realized that as I had been searching to
- 3:12Speaker 1: send Festus the crunch Wrap Supreme kit, I had put
- 3:16Speaker 1: in his address. So subsequently my next order I didn't
- 3:22Speaker 1: change there.
- 3:25Speaker 2: It got sent to what was it, Lingerie?
- 3:27Speaker 3: I think Dawson has has it. It arrived this morning.
- 3:32Speaker 1: So Festus going from here all the way into the
- 3:36Speaker 1: middle of the ocean. He got some dog treats, some
- 3:40Speaker 1: bone broth. Dog treats are there dogs on the end. Well,
- 3:45Speaker 1: so dog dog treats and a book that I ordered
- 3:48Speaker 1: the housemaid.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Well now, so, so first of all, he doesn't read,
- 3:53Speaker 2: we know that. And then no Festus reads, I know
- 4:00Speaker 2: ends read. And then so what's he so?
- 4:05Speaker 1: So he he sent me a picture this morning with
- 4:08Speaker 1: and he said, I think I know what happened here.
- 4:10Speaker 1: You didn't You didn't mean to send me dog treats
- 4:13Speaker 1: in a book? Now?
- 4:15Speaker 4: Well, now they had the retirement party for the.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Dome, I said, So I told you the story about Fanta,
- 4:21Speaker 1: the bomb sniffing dog that that just retired, had had
- 4:24Speaker 1: her party earlier in the week. I'm like, oh, you
- 4:26Speaker 1: can act like you you wanted to give Phanta a present.
- 4:32Speaker 2: And you could read the book to the dog.
- 4:36Speaker 1: But he still hasn't received the other package that I
- 4:39Speaker 1: put together for him.
- 4:41Speaker 2: So that's that's the only one you sent to him
- 4:43Speaker 2: in error.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm glad.
- 4:46Speaker 1: So occasionally I will order things that are heavy from Amazon,
- 4:51Speaker 1: and I'm so glad.
- 4:52Speaker 3: I didn't accidentally send some big heavy.
- 4:54Speaker 2: You know, like, what's he going to do with a
- 4:56Speaker 2: bowling ball?
- 4:57Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad. This was just a small box with
- 5:00Speaker 3: a couple of things.
- 5:02Speaker 2: What about I don't need a vacuum.
- 5:05Speaker 4: So they won't allow you to send the crunt trap thing.
- 5:07Speaker 1: No, but I can buy it and put it in
- 5:11Speaker 1: my own box.
- 5:12Speaker 3: So I'm going to try that.
- 5:13Speaker 4: But don't they go through as a security go through
- 5:16Speaker 4: the package.
- 5:17Speaker 3: Yes, so I don't know if you've.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Got rejected by Amazon.
- 5:21Speaker 5: Yeah, so if they go through the package and they go, well,
- 5:24Speaker 5: we can't because it's going to screw up the I
- 5:27Speaker 5: don't know ecosystem or whatever.
- 5:29Speaker 3: I'm going to try it. I think it's worth a try.
- 5:33Speaker 2: You may be, they may throw you in the brig.
- 5:37Speaker 1: But this is actually a good lesson for me because
- 5:42Speaker 1: I usually buy my books at King's English.
- 5:46Speaker 3: It's my favorite bookstore.
- 5:48Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's what I do. Is I call them
- 5:50Speaker 4: up and I and.
- 5:51Speaker 3: They'll save it.
- 5:52Speaker 1: You can, they'll save it for you behind the counter.
- 5:54Speaker 1: You can pay for it and go pick it up.
- 5:56Speaker 1: And I don't know why I bought this book on Amazon.
- 5:59Speaker 1: I think because I was getting these dog treats and.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Which you couldn't get anywhere else.
- 6:04Speaker 3: I mean you, yeah, you can't. I don't know why.
- 6:05Speaker 3: I I don't know, I know why.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Being lazy you're lazy.
- 6:11Speaker 1: So this is karma saying, if you're not going to
- 6:14Speaker 1: go two blocks from your house to King's English to
- 6:16Speaker 1: pick up this book, we're going to send it to
- 6:19Speaker 1: the middle of the ocean. He also sent a picture
- 6:21Speaker 1: I don't off. Dawson has the other picture of how
- 6:24Speaker 1: he's spending some of his time there. He is at
- 6:27Speaker 1: the beach x ninety six dot com slash Live. He's
- 6:31Speaker 1: he's going out paddle boarding, but it's a white sand beach.
- 6:34Speaker 3: And my son is so white. He just blends you. No,
- 6:39Speaker 3: he does not tan.
- 6:40Speaker 2: He's not getting any.
- 6:41Speaker 3: No, he burns, that's all he does.
- 6:45Speaker 1: He's just as pale as ye.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Did he grow up trying to tan?
- 6:52Speaker 4: No, it's the Irish in yeah, because I did that,
- 6:56Speaker 4: you trying to.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Burns. I do get a little tan, but but I
- 7:00Speaker 2: burn easily too.
- 7:01Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the Irish him.
- 7:04Speaker 1: But I'm going to put together Carrie gave me some
- 7:06Speaker 1: more comic books, so I'm going to put together another
- 7:09Speaker 1: box and I'm going to get the crunch Wrap Supreme
- 7:11Speaker 1: and try to.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Send him some copper tone.
- 7:13Speaker 3: For God's said, I have sent him sun screws something.
- 7:18Speaker 5: It reminds me I need to contact Kings English about
- 7:21Speaker 5: a book I want.
- 7:23Speaker 3: They're great, they have a great they're not advertising.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Oh you're supposed to say, what book is that, Carrie?
- 7:29Speaker 5: Oh no, I just I was making a note that
- 7:31Speaker 5: I need to remember. It's called The Avengers versus the
- 7:34Speaker 5: nineteen seventies.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Because the nice thing is it's.
- 7:38Speaker 5: About the social commentary that was happening in the comic
- 7:41Speaker 5: books at the time.
- 7:42Speaker 1: If they don't have a book book, if they don't
- 7:44Speaker 1: have it, they will order it for you.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Yeah, which is nice. So do that. Don't do what
- 7:50Speaker 3: I did.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Well, that's what we do.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:56Speaker 5: No, I don't think the Taco Bell's perishable. I don't
- 7:58Speaker 5: think that's why they turned it away.
- 8:00Speaker 3: I don't think. So I'm gonna buy one and try.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Yeah, because it could be just Amazon arbitrary and and
- 8:06Speaker 2: the and the military could give a damn it'll be
- 8:09Speaker 2: I'm curious. Keep keep us posting.
- 8:14Speaker 4: Here's hoping that.
- 8:16Speaker 5: I mean, can you get like Taco Bell hot sauce
- 8:18Speaker 5: packets and send it to well, I don't know.
- 8:20Speaker 1: See, that's what I put in the other box that
