1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: The Fread Show is on Ye Fread's Fun Fact Fred's

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: Fun so much. You know, I believe I've done this

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: one before, way in the past, and I could have

4
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: just done it and not said it, but Rufio would

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: point it out, so I'm getting ahead of him. That

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: being said, I think it is very interesting. There's a flight.

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: It is the shortest commercial flight in the world. How

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: long would you guess, For those of you who don't

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: know this, how long would you guess the shortest commercial

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: flight in the world lasts twelve minutes? Are you talking

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: like from takeoff or just in the air the whole well,

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't taxi time and air traffic control delays.

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea I'm saying. I'm saying,

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: you go the plane, start it up, they fly land.

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: How long do you think that takes? Thirty minutes, seven

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: three minutes, eleven fifty seven seconds stop it. Yeah, there's

17
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: a flight between two Scottish islands of Westtray and Papa

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Westray that only lasts fifty seven seconds. Because it's a

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: distance of one point seven miles, it's the shortest commercial

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: flight in the world. The trip is made via a

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: eight seater plane, and it could take longer if there

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: are strong winds. I've seen the video about this. I

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: think it's because there's there isn't a road that connects them,

24
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: so they have to use a plane for some reason.

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: There's not like a bridge or something. I was about

26
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: to get upset, boy, because you could be like, why

27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: would you take that when you could drive exactly walk?

28
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: You know, the other day, I was at O'Hare and

29
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: I saw, no, this is no joke. I met here,

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm walking through the gates. It's like Paris, you know, Topeka,

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: you know Phoenix, I love Wichita. I don't know Miami Midway,

32
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: Midway Airport. I'm like, wait a minute. I actually walked up.

33
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: I had to. I walked into the counter. I'm like,

34
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: can you explain this? Like what really get? I get

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: that there are like super short connections, like you can

36
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: go Chicago to Milwaukee, you can go Charlotte to Raleigh,

37
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, whatever whatever it is. And I understand that

38
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: that's because you might be connecting from a place where

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: they don't have it where you are, Like, for example,

40
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: if you try to like Paris, you can't go direct,

41
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: then you may have to go to a big airport,

42
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: but you have to get home, so they just move

43
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: your bags over and so it's like you wouldn't necessarily

44
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: drive up to the airport. But I'm like what, what

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: why And they were like, oh, well, it's a reposition flight,

46
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: and like the board just automatically updates to wherever it's going.

47
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: So the plan landed from planlanded from wherever, and then

48
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: they had to move it. But I'm like, you can't

49
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: honestly tell me. Somebody came from LA to Chicago O'Hare

50
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: and was like, not close enough, not close enough, need

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 1: you to fly me over to the other side of town. Yeah,

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: you see that traffic. More fread show next
