David MichaelHOST
Joe Paulo Santos has been detained on suspicion of helping to run a cocaine trafficking operation through Lisbon Airport after a four-month surveillance sting on him.
Phil ShawHOST
Yeah, this is brilliant.
Phil ShawHOST
I mean, you can cancel Heat 2 or whatever crime film you're thinking of going to see in the next year that's in production.
Graham GoodwinHOST
It apparently came later still for Felix da Costa because he was, how could I put it, being slightly salty.
Graham GoodwinHOST
don't blame him, but slightly salty, and implying, if not stating, that he heard about it at Lisbon Airport on his way here, and that the plans therefore changed.
Graham GoodwinHOST
So, you know, we've not spoken to Felix.
Graham GoodwinHOST
I'm sure of that opportunity.
Jason ScukanecHOST
Are you
Isaac RoppHOST
kidding me? That being said, Animal News, there is a falconer at the Lisbon Airport.
Isaac RoppHOST
Wait, there's a falconer
Jason ScukanecHOST
at an airport? Yeah.
Isaac RoppHOST
And that guy's good.
Jason ScukanecHOST
Yeah, I like that guy.
Jason ScukanecHOST
But when you go to the Lisbon airport, instead of a piano player, there's just a falcon flying around?

It's not gonna be possible." And I had a contract that all of a sudden was postponed, and he said to me, "Okay, you have no more excuses.
Lesley Southwick-TraskGUEST
Now you should go." And so two weeks later, I was in the Lisbon Airport.
Lesley Southwick-TraskGUEST
We decided to do the Camino Portugues.
Lesley Southwick-TraskGUEST
And I put my backpack on for the first time in that airport.
SamHOST
Um, but Ryan had mentioned my honorable mention.
SamHOST
Um, and so I, I'd sent in this 'cause I thought it was funny, but a falconer, so a guy who's the trainer for a falcon, um, trains the Benfica's mascot eagle, had been detained on the suspicion of helping run a cocaine trafficking operation through the Lisbon Airport.
SamHOST
And the fact that it's through the airport and he is a falcon or, like, eagle trainer makes me wonder if he was using the eagles or the falcons at the airport in order to [laughs] like-
RyanHOST
Smuggle it?
TomHOST
Yeah, but-
NickHOST
... yeah, at Lisbon Airport, for example, or at, at Mal- Malpensa.
NickHOST
But they do say that over time, this is gonna be a safer system, and it's gonna be a more streamlined system once people are in the actual-
TomHOST
Mm.
Carlotta RibelloCORRESPONDENT
Hello.
Carlotta RibelloCORRESPONDENT
You might have just been hearing now the planes going by because we're right under the flight path to Lisbon Airport.
Carlotta RibelloCORRESPONDENT
And I think that was a TAP flight, which makes complete sense because we had an airline captain from TAP Portugal speaking earlier.
Carlotta RibelloCORRESPONDENT
And it was just one of the sessions we had today.
Jay RatliffGUEST
You know, we didn't want to trouble you with a lot of needless information.
Brian ThomasHOST
Well, since we've got a little bit of time in this segment, let's address the man wandering onto the Lisbon Airport tarmac.
Jay RatliffGUEST
Yeah, they look up.
Jay RatliffGUEST
There he is.
Carl MunsonHOST
Seeing the signs for Setúbal, Almada, I can see to my right, the big Almada shopping centre, one of our family's favourites.
Carl MunsonHOST
Another plane coming in, people coming in to land at Lisbon Airport.
Carl MunsonHOST
We are heading south.
Carl MunsonHOST
on the A2 I believe.
