• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I said, I said, oh, I'm so glad it finally
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: made it to you. Then I said, and you can't
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: see it in this picture. I said, By the way,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I found one of our very last challenge coins.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Now, what's a challenge coin.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: And the Radio from Hell challenge coins Radia Radio.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: From Hell challenge coin challenge coins? Are they use them
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: in the military, police fire departments. Carrie's actually showing you one.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Oh we have oh.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You've got you've got a radio from Hell one?
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I was going to say, this is a
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: this is a Disneyland Park park officer one.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, because these are I found one in
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: my desk. There aren't very.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Many of them.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: But what so, what you do with a challenge coin
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: If you're a military person or police officer, firefighter, you
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: keep these with you and when you are at a
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: bar and you pull out your challenge coin to challenge
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: other people in the military or police officers, firefighters, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: they pull out their challenge coin and who whoever doesn't
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: have one has to has to buy that round of drinks.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And if everybody has one, everybody leaves the bar immediately
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and goes home to bed.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: But Bill kind of got into these a while ago,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and we had some, and we had some made for
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the show. So I found one, and I thought that
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: would be a fun thing for Festus to have. So
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: here's what I said to him. I said, I found
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: one of our very last Radio from Hell challenge coins,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: So be very careful who you choose to trade it with,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: because that's something else. Severally, and he said, when I
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: was opening the box at work and started showing everybody.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: My friend started crying when she saw the coin because
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: she doesn't have a relationship with her parents, so I
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: gave it to her. I always share the chocolates that
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you send with everybody, so you are now known in
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the clinic as Mama Gina, and I said, oh, please
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: give her a hug from Mama Gina. I hate hearing
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: about kids, especially those who are serving, who don't have
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: love back home to count on. And he said, well,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: you might not know, but everyone here loves you. But
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: it got me thinking. You know, I worry all the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: time about Festus because he's out in the middle of
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: nowhere and I haven't seen him in months.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: But I talked to him, you know, and I send
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: him gifts and stuff.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: But there are so many service members that don't have
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: family that's checking on them, and don't have family that's
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: sending them packages. And so I'm I'm going to start
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: something now that I'm hoping is going to grow a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: little bit. Well, I asked Festus, I said, can you
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: send me the names of everyone in your clinic and
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: some kind of treat from back home that they miss
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: that they can't get that's nice, and Carrie has given
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: me more.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I got more and I still have more on the way.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to make a little, a little package
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to send.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: This is if I were in that clinic and so
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Fastest came to me and say, what's something from back
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: home you missed that my mom can send you, And
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I'd say a five hundred dollars bill. I really miss
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I really miss having a five hundred dollars bill.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: But I'm going to start here with this.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to try to find a way because
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I know if I talk about this on the air,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: friends of the programer listening, going, well, I'd like to
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: help and maybe send something.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I think there are some organizations who do that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm going to look into it some more.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Because I would like I just feel bad for people
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: that aren't getting love from.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Back home good luck, because I looked into this about comic.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Books, yeah, and it was it was, it was complicated.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: So if you can find an organization that's doing that, terrific.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I've got more and more comic books to send. And
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: have you ever seen a five hundred dollars bill? They're
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: really cool.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Well, at the very least I'm going to get some
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: stuff to the clinic where Festus is working for those
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: people there. But but geez, it's just you know, they
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: they are they've chosen to serve our country. They're far
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: away from from home and their friends back here at least.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: But to not have that touchstone of well, somebody, somebody
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: somewhere else is checking in with me and loves me,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: that that breaks my heart.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: They're you know, they're they've chosen to serve our country,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: or they've been offered that instead either jail, or go
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: join the military, or go to jail a judge, judge
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: will give you that option.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I'm choosing to think of this in a positive way.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Bill, Well, I listen, they deserve, they deserve a love
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and attention to not something. I'm not discriminating. I just
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't discriminate against it. But uh, now people are
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: wanting to send stuff.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Well, let's I'm saying.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm gonna investigate this and I will let you
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: know what I find. Because I knew if I brought
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: it up there would be friends of the program that
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: would like me.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: We'll have plenty of stuff to donate.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: We've got to figure out how to get it to Yeah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: that's the tricky.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Does anyone have access to a five hundred dollars bill.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Because I because this box that I sent him it
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: took like almost a month to get there.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Now he's in a very remote area, but it's I'm
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: sure there is some kind of already existing entity that
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: maybe can get things there fast.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: How long to be there?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: He's only there one year.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: They consider it a hardship assignment, so they're like, yeah,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: it sounds great to live on a on on an island,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: but we're only going to make you do it for
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: a year or so. He's put in for his next
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: orders because he'll be done in September, so it's pretty
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: pretty fast.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: But that's a Deadpool comic. By the way, is a
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Marvel DC team up. It's Batman and.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Dead Oh is that rare?
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Well, it's it's they printed a bunch of them, but
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: it's it's it's it's an odd pairing.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: It's a one time yeah exactly.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Someone says, why not create a public Amazon wish list
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and let people go in and buy as necessary. That's
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: not a bad idea because actually, as much as we
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: hate Amazon, it gets things there way faster than you know.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: It got my dog treats there that I didn't need
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to send.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Oh darn it. The five hundred dollars bill hasn't been
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: printed since nineteen forty five.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Well, then it's very rare if you find one.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, since nineteen sixty nine, banks are required to
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: send five hundred dollars bills to the Department of Treasury
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: for destruction.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, yeah, you dreamed it. If you have one,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you know, you know what it's worth, three thousand dollars.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Wow. I don't think anyone's going to give you one.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: It's a collectible. Oh okay, there you go, Hello sailor boy.
