1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to the short Stuff. I'm Josh, and there's

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Chuck and this is short stuff, the shortest stuff of

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: all this stuff. Stuffer are you calling stuffer? I'm calling

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: you a stuffer buddy. Oh yeah, born born and bread

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: stuffer stuff it stuff at like pizza huts, stuff crust,

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: cheese cheese, stuffed crust. Had pizza hudding so long. Uh yeah,

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: I haven't in a little while either. I had to

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: order a garbage pizza the other night though, for the

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: first time and probably twenty something years. Whoa are you

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: calling Pizza Hutt a garbage pizza. It wasn't Pizza Hud.

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: It was another big brand of delivery pizza. But I uh,

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, we usually get the good pizza in the neighborhood,

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: like the neighborhood Pizzaia's. That's also you know, some of

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: it's wood fired. It's nice. I don't know if I

15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: call it fancy pizza, but good stuff. But every once

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: in a while, you want you know, well, I got

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: shut out. It was during the World Series and Halloween,

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: so that's like a huge tonight, and they ran out

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: of stuff to make pizza, literally, and so I was

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: forced to turn to the garbage pizza. You know what

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: it was delicious? Yes, of course it is. It's terrible.

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: It's terrible for you. There's nothing good about it. Delicious,

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: it was really great. It's been so long. I was like, man,

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 1: I forgot about the garbage pizzas so and you're still

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: like going to say which one, even though you're ultimately

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: saying it was delicious. Huh, that's fine. I'm just I

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: think that's remarkable. Um, chuck. When you picked up the phone,

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: because I'm assuming you did this old old school style

29
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: and used the landline, picked up the phone and called, uh,

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: the garbage pizza company that when they answered the phone,

31
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: you said may day, may Day, may Day, I need

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: a pizza. Stat No, I said pan pan pan pan. Oh.

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: There you go, And they said you want a pan

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: pizza and you'd say no, and please don't interrupt me

35
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: because I'm supposed to say it three times pam pan oh.

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: Very funny. This is about may Day. The word we

37
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: want to thank live mint dot com, wonder Opolis dot org,

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: Science ABC Today I found out and the Government of

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: Canada website was pretty handy. Sure. Um, so we're talking

40
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: about May Day and everybody knows that may Day is

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: a distress call, um, and everybody probably has a better

42
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: handle on what to do in a May Day distress

43
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: call then you'd think, because from doing this research, it

44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: seems that just about every May Day distress call I've

45
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: seen in a movie or on TV was pretty accurate.

46
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: It turns out, Yeah, Um, what you do is you

47
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: say it three times, like you said, you have to

48
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: do it three times because there there are a couple

49
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: of reasons. They don't want to be confused. First of all,

50
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: they don't want to mistake it for another word. If

51
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: you just say it once, so just literally reiterating may day,

52
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: they won't say did they say pay day? Those are

53
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: not that great or not. Um, So that's one reason

54
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: you repeat it three times. Another reason or it could

55
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: be noisy and uh, you know, in a plane or

56
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: on a boat or something. And the other reason is

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: that they know that you are calling for the May

58
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: Day yourself, like you yourself are in trouble, and you

59
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: are not relaying a call about a May Day from

60
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: someone else, which is something we'll get too, called a

61
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: may Day relay. Um, oh, you're not talking about I

62
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: think like you were saying that you know you're not

63
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: talking about some may day call that happened three years

64
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: ago that was just so great, right yeah, so, um,

65
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: so you do want to say it three times? May

66
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: day made a mayde a And then right after that

67
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: you've got you've got their attention and you're on stage

68
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: and they want to hear what you have to say.

69
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: So you're gonna follow that up with, um, what aircraft

70
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: or ocean going craft you are? Um, if you have

71
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: some sort of call number or sign or whatever, you'd

72
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: want to include that there. Then you're gonna tell him

73
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: exactly what the problem is. Um, you're taking on water,

74
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: which is a problem whether you're an aircraft or an

75
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: ocean going c You don't want to take on water

76
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: in an airplane. No, you want to tell him where

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: you're located or the last place you're known location was,

78
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: and maybe what direction you've been traveling in. You want

79
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 1: to talk about the weather, but not chewing the fat

80
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: talking about the weather. You wanted to say specifically what

81
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: kind of weather you're having in case you've got problems? Right?

82
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: What else? What? Uh, let me see, well, basically how

83
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: many people are aboard? That might be a nice thing

84
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: to mention. Sure kind of help you want. Yeah, and

85
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: that that's sort of the big one is, um, you

86
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: know my plane is going down over this part of

87
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: the ocean, and please send a boat. Yeah, that would

88
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: probably Yeah, I would have been like, please send another plane,

89
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, that wouldn't make any sense. You'd want to boat,

90
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: you would want to send Please send a giant trampoline.

91
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: Uh So I say we take our break now and

92
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: then leave it as a cliffhanger. As you where the

93
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: word mayday came from? To begin with nice one? All right,

94
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: we'll be right back as s k as. Okay, Chuck,

95
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about the origin of the may day distress call.

96
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: Where did it come from? Well, it started in m

97
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: hm uh it was. It was an idea of this

98
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: guy named Frederick Mockford. He was a radio officer at

99
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: uh Kroyd Croydon Airport in London and they were they

100
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: were looking for a word. They said, hey, we need

101
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: a word, um that somebody can say that everyone knows

102
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: as a distress signal. And it's got to be really

103
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: easily understood. Everyone has got to be able to get

104
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: on board with this thing. And we don't want to

105
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: go to a marketing department. So we'll just go to those,

106
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: to the people who do this. And he said, and

107
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, they've been using s os like Morse code,

108
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: but since they were using radio communications more and more,

109
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: because we need an actual word. And help isn't good

110
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: because people say the word help just in conversation. Help. Yeah,

111
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: so you don't want to like send off fossil alarms.

112
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: It's gotta be something really independent from other words like that.

113
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of the air traffic at

114
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: the time was between that report and an airport in Paris.

115
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: So he proposed uh, a French word. Yeah, French phrase

116
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: actually vanez medeer. And he said, let's use the shortened

117
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: one of may dair maddair vanes made air means come

118
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: help me. Apparently it's also frequently translated as lenda hand

119
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: come like like lend me a hand, but the literal

120
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: translation has come help me, send boat and send a

121
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: giant trampoline. And so he said, how about may dair

122
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: And they said, oh, it's even better, how about this

123
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: may day. Let's use a word that doesn't even exist,

124
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: although it does exist, but one that no one would

125
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: ever use uh in normal conversation, and certainly not three

126
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: times in a row, like you wouldn't say, like, um,

127
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: that made a mayde a mayde a party was the

128
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: greatest mayde a mayde a mayde a party I've ever

129
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: been to. Yeah, like the mayde a celebration like in um,

130
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: uh what was the follow up to? Um? Yes, thank

131
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: you buddy. That's right. People liked it. People started using it.

132
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: They said, this is great. Uh. And three years later,

133
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: four years later, it was officially adopted by the International

134
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: Radio Telegraph Convention of Washington, and then I think it

135
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: took I think it was mainly for planes. And at

136
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: what I think I figured out is it was is

137
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: when it became a nautical term as well. Okay, got you,

138
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: because yeah, it says that it was official in forty eight,

139
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: but this Radio Telegraph Convention and adopted it in n

140
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: got on board a little bit later. That's weird because

141
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: there were way more boats than planes in n I

142
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe they were Uh, didn't get on board

143
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: with the radio communications is quickly. That seems foolish, but okay, alright, so, um,

144
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: there's another way to send a distress call. And you

145
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier the may Day relay, which is fun to say, Hey, Um.

146
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: The may day relay is if you know that another

147
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: vessel's in trouble but their communications equipment is knocked out,

148
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: you can relay a may day request on their behalf

149
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: and it follows pretty much the similar um similar format. Um,

150
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: it's just your calling on behalf of that other vessel. Right, Yeah,

151
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: and I guess there could be a may day relay

152
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: relay too. I guess you can go on and on

153
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: if if you're not able to get a message to people,

154
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: you and relay it through other planes and boats. But

155
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: the problem is, though, by the time it finally gets

156
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: to like air traffic control, it comes out as purple

157
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: Monkey dinosaur ah, the old telephone game. Yeah, so let's

158
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: say you make a made a call and you're just joking.

159
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: They wouldn't nobody would consider that a big whoop, Right,

160
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: it's a big whoop. In the US, you can get fined. Uh,

161
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: you can go to jail for six months, I'm sorry,

162
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: six years to jail. You can. I have a feeling

163
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: it's more like you pay a fine and suspended sentence.

164
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: But it's a hefty fine, can be up to a

165
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: quarter of a million bucks. And it's one of those

166
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: deals where if they call out the Coastguard, you gotta

167
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: you gotta pay them back the money that it costs

168
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: to run that operation. I saw some somebody in Florida

169
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: in two thousand nine was caught giving a hoax, made

170
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: a call and ended up having to pay the coastguard

171
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: back nine hundred and six thousand dollars for the for

172
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: the search that was mounted. Yeah, and well you should too.

173
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: If you knowingly purposefully call out the coastguard for kicks

174
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: and they spend nine and six grand, the coastguard should

175
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: be made whole of that nine grand out of your pocket. Jerk.

176
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: And he was like, why was it that much? And

177
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: he said, well, we built a really nice new boat

178
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: for your call, right, We used the gold plated boats

179
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: for that call. Right. We ordered we ordered some really

180
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: expensive dinner that night. Yeah, you know what, we gotta

181
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: take out from out back that night. Thanks, thanks for

182
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: that too, Chuck. By the way, I mentioned pan pan earlier.

183
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: It's kind of a joke apparently, and I've never heard

184
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: this before in my life, but apparently pan pan and

185
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: this is another thing that we nicked from the French.

186
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: It's from p A n n E, meaning breakdown or trouble. Um.

187
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: They apparently pan pan is to be used if it's

188
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: not life threatening, but you still need help, and you

189
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: also say it three times. Yes, that's a really important thing. Um.

190
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: You want to say these things three times. That's what

191
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: gets everybody's attention, right, that's right. So um that means

192
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: the Tom Petty song in French is pam pan. Go

193
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: ahead and give it to me. I love that, okay,

194
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: so um pam pan is where you're you're basically saying, like,

195
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: I've got a pretty like a noteworthy emergency here, but

196
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: it's probably not life threatening. Somebody on board our boat,

197
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: um has has fallen and broken their kneecap. They're probably

198
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: not gonna die, but they really want to get off

199
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: this boat. Can you come help us as soon as possible?

200
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: Kind of thing or Um, there's we we actually have

201
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: a breakdown, like our boat is broken down. We're not

202
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: in any kind of threat because the weather is fine

203
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: or whatever, but we do need some help. That's when

204
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: you would use pam pan. That's right. There's another one

205
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: too that I could barely find. I found I found

206
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: it referenced in one article on Wikipedia. Chuck um, and

207
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: that was it. But it's security, and I don't know

208
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: if you say it security or something like that, but

209
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: it's spelled s C C U R I T E.

210
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: Thinks from the French as well. This may have been

211
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: from the Government of Canada website, which would make sense,

212
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: but this one makes a lot of sense. You'd say security, security, security,

213
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,599
Speaker 1: if that's how you say it, and then you just

214
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 1: immediately proceed and talk about something that's like there's a

215
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: giant rock that wasn't there before in the shipping lane,

216
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 1: be careful of that, or there's a shipping container that

217
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: fell overboard, like you're letting somebody know about a track,

218
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: like a hazard, bad weather, something like that. You're not

219
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: asking for help, You're just making sure that everybody who

220
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: needs to know knows about that. That's right. Uh. And

221
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: then this is neither here nor there in terms of distress,

222
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: but something you will. There's a movie trope that always

223
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: bugs me, so I threw it in there. If you

224
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: ever see someone in a movie say over and out,

225
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: it's a screenwriter who doesn't know anything about radio communication.

226
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: No one who knows what they're doing says over and

227
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: out because over means I'm done talking and I'm ready

228
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: for you to respond and out means that you're done

229
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: and you're leaving. So you would never say over and out.

230
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: You might say over or out you decide I'll wait here,

231
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: but never over and out. Man. That's um. I love that, though.

232
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: I wonder who's the first screenwriter to do that. I

233
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: don't know. I hope I want to find out. Do

234
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: you ever see the what was it? The Secret Life

235
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: of Sherlock Holmes? No? I did not like it, Chuck.

236
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: I didn't like it, and I thought I would. Okay,

237
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: well that's it. Chuck's done talking. I'm done talking now too,

238
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: and that means short stuff is out. Radio Stuff You
