WEBVTT - Short Stuff: Mayday!

0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey, welcome to the short Stuff. I'm Josh, and there's

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Chuck and this is short stuff, the shortest stuff of

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:15.760
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff. Stuffer are you calling stuffer? I'm calling

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 1>you a stuffer buddy. Oh yeah, born born and bread

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:24.120
<v Speaker 1>stuffer stuff it stuff at like pizza huts, stuff crust,

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>cheese cheese, stuffed crust. Had pizza hudding so long. Uh yeah,

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>I haven't in a little while either. I had to

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>order a garbage pizza the other night though, for the

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>first time and probably twenty something years. Whoa are you

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>calling Pizza Hutt a garbage pizza. It wasn't Pizza Hud.

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>It was another big brand of delivery pizza. But I uh,

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, we usually get the good pizza in the neighborhood,

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>like the neighborhood Pizzaia's. That's also you know, some of

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 1>it's wood fired. It's nice. I don't know if I

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>call it fancy pizza, but good stuff. But every once

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.279
<v Speaker 1>in a while, you want you know, well, I got

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>shut out. It was during the World Series and Halloween,

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>so that's like a huge tonight, and they ran out

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>of stuff to make pizza, literally, and so I was

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 1>forced to turn to the garbage pizza. You know what

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>it was delicious? Yes, of course it is. It's terrible.

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 1>It's terrible for you. There's nothing good about it. Delicious,

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.479
<v Speaker 1>it was really great. It's been so long. I was like, man,

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.839
<v Speaker 1>I forgot about the garbage pizzas so and you're still

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:24.759
<v Speaker 1>like going to say which one, even though you're ultimately

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>saying it was delicious. Huh, that's fine. I'm just I

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>think that's remarkable. Um, chuck. When you picked up the phone,

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.839
<v Speaker 1>because I'm assuming you did this old old school style

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and used the landline, picked up the phone and called, uh,

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the garbage pizza company that when they answered the phone,

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>you said may day, may Day, may Day, I need

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>a pizza. Stat No, I said pan pan pan pan. Oh.

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>There you go, And they said you want a pan

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 1>pizza and you'd say no, and please don't interrupt me

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.559
<v Speaker 1>because I'm supposed to say it three times pam pan oh.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Very funny. This is about may Day. The word we

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>want to thank live mint dot com, wonder Opolis dot org,

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Science ABC Today I found out and the Government of

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Canada website was pretty handy. Sure. Um, so we're talking

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>about May Day and everybody knows that may Day is

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>a distress call, um, and everybody probably has a better

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>handle on what to do in a May Day distress

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>call then you'd think, because from doing this research, it

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 1>seems that just about every May Day distress call I've

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>seen in a movie or on TV was pretty accurate.

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>It turns out, Yeah, Um, what you do is you

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>say it three times, like you said, you have to

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:44.079
<v Speaker 1>do it three times because there there are a couple

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.639
<v Speaker 1>of reasons. They don't want to be confused. First of all,

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to mistake it for another word. If

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>you just say it once, so just literally reiterating may day,

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>they won't say did they say pay day? Those are

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>not that great or not. Um, So that's one reason

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 1>you repeat it three times. Another reason or it could

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>be noisy and uh, you know, in a plane or

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>on a boat or something. And the other reason is

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>that they know that you are calling for the May

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Day yourself, like you yourself are in trouble, and you

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>are not relaying a call about a May Day from

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>someone else, which is something we'll get too, called a

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>may Day relay. Um, oh, you're not talking about I

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>think like you were saying that you know you're not

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about some may day call that happened three years

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 1>ago that was just so great, right yeah, so, um,

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>so you do want to say it three times? May

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>day made a mayde a And then right after that

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>you've got you've got their attention and you're on stage

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>and they want to hear what you have to say.

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 1>So you're gonna follow that up with, um, what aircraft

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>or ocean going craft you are? Um, if you have

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>some sort of call number or sign or whatever, you'd

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>want to include that there. Then you're gonna tell him

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>exactly what the problem is. Um, you're taking on water,

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>which is a problem whether you're an aircraft or an

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>ocean going c You don't want to take on water

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>in an airplane. No, you want to tell him where

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you're located or the last place you're known location was,

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>and maybe what direction you've been traveling in. You want

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.679
<v Speaker 1>to talk about the weather, but not chewing the fat

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>talking about the weather. You wanted to say specifically what

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of weather you're having in case you've got problems? Right?

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>What else? What? Uh, let me see, well, basically how

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.480
<v Speaker 1>many people are aboard? That might be a nice thing

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>to mention. Sure kind of help you want. Yeah, and

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.359
<v Speaker 1>that that's sort of the big one is, um, you

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.479
<v Speaker 1>know my plane is going down over this part of

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the ocean, and please send a boat. Yeah, that would

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>probably Yeah, I would have been like, please send another plane,

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, that wouldn't make any sense. You'd want to boat,

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>you would want to send Please send a giant trampoline.

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Uh So I say we take our break now and

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 1>then leave it as a cliffhanger. As you where the

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>word mayday came from? To begin with nice one? All right,

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:26.599
<v Speaker 1>we'll be right back as s k as. Okay, Chuck,

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about the origin of the may day distress call.

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Where did it come from? Well, it started in m

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.359
<v Speaker 1>hm uh it was. It was an idea of this

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>guy named Frederick Mockford. He was a radio officer at

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>uh Kroyd Croydon Airport in London and they were they

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>were looking for a word. They said, hey, we need

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>a word, um that somebody can say that everyone knows

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>as a distress signal. And it's got to be really

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>easily understood. Everyone has got to be able to get

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>on board with this thing. And we don't want to

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 1>go to a marketing department. So we'll just go to those,

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>to the people who do this. And he said, and

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, they've been using s os like Morse code,

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>but since they were using radio communications more and more,

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>because we need an actual word. And help isn't good

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:17.160
<v Speaker 1>because people say the word help just in conversation. Help. Yeah,

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>so you don't want to like send off fossil alarms.

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:23.159
<v Speaker 1>It's gotta be something really independent from other words like that.

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 1>And I think a lot of the air traffic at

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the time was between that report and an airport in Paris.

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>So he proposed uh, a French word. Yeah, French phrase

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>actually vanez medeer. And he said, let's use the shortened

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>one of may dair maddair vanes made air means come

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>help me. Apparently it's also frequently translated as lenda hand

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 1>come like like lend me a hand, but the literal

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 1>translation has come help me, send boat and send a

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>giant trampoline. And so he said, how about may dair

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 1>And they said, oh, it's even better, how about this

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 1>may day. Let's use a word that doesn't even exist,

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 1>although it does exist, but one that no one would

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>ever use uh in normal conversation, and certainly not three

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>times in a row, like you wouldn't say, like, um,

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>that made a mayde a mayde a party was the

0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.560
<v Speaker 1>greatest mayde a mayde a mayde a party I've ever

0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>been to. Yeah, like the mayde a celebration like in um,

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 1>uh what was the follow up to? Um? Yes, thank

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 1>you buddy. That's right. People liked it. People started using it.

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>They said, this is great. Uh. And three years later,

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 1>four years later, it was officially adopted by the International

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Radio Telegraph Convention of Washington, and then I think it

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>took I think it was mainly for planes. And at

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>what I think I figured out is it was is

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>when it became a nautical term as well. Okay, got you,

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>because yeah, it says that it was official in forty eight,

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 1>but this Radio Telegraph Convention and adopted it in n

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 1>got on board a little bit later. That's weird because

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>there were way more boats than planes in n I

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know, maybe they were Uh, didn't get on board

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>with the radio communications is quickly. That seems foolish, but okay, alright, so, um,

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 1>there's another way to send a distress call. And you

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 1>mentioned earlier the may Day relay, which is fun to say, Hey, Um.

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.679
<v Speaker 1>The may day relay is if you know that another

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>vessel's in trouble but their communications equipment is knocked out,

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 1>you can relay a may day request on their behalf

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 1>and it follows pretty much the similar um similar format. Um,

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>it's just your calling on behalf of that other vessel. Right, Yeah,

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>and I guess there could be a may day relay

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 1>relay too. I guess you can go on and on

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:59.680
<v Speaker 1>if if you're not able to get a message to people,

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 1>you and relay it through other planes and boats. But

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the problem is, though, by the time it finally gets

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>to like air traffic control, it comes out as purple

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Monkey dinosaur ah, the old telephone game. Yeah, so let's

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 1>say you make a made a call and you're just joking.

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>They wouldn't nobody would consider that a big whoop, Right,

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a big whoop. In the US, you can get fined. Uh,

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>you can go to jail for six months, I'm sorry,

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>six years to jail. You can. I have a feeling

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>it's more like you pay a fine and suspended sentence.

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>But it's a hefty fine, can be up to a

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>quarter of a million bucks. And it's one of those

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>deals where if they call out the Coastguard, you gotta

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.439
<v Speaker 1>you gotta pay them back the money that it costs

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to run that operation. I saw some somebody in Florida

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand nine was caught giving a hoax, made

0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 1>a call and ended up having to pay the coastguard

0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 1>back nine hundred and six thousand dollars for the for

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 1>the search that was mounted. Yeah, and well you should too.

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 1>If you knowingly purposefully call out the coastguard for kicks

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and they spend nine and six grand, the coastguard should

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>be made whole of that nine grand out of your pocket. Jerk.

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.079
<v Speaker 1>And he was like, why was it that much? And

0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>he said, well, we built a really nice new boat

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.439
<v Speaker 1>for your call, right, We used the gold plated boats

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 1>for that call. Right. We ordered we ordered some really

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 1>expensive dinner that night. Yeah, you know what, we gotta

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:34.199
<v Speaker 1>take out from out back that night. Thanks, thanks for

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 1>that too, Chuck. By the way, I mentioned pan pan earlier.

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:39.880
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of a joke apparently, and I've never heard

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 1>this before in my life, but apparently pan pan and

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 1>this is another thing that we nicked from the French.

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 1>It's from p A n n E, meaning breakdown or trouble. Um.

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 1>They apparently pan pan is to be used if it's

0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.199
<v Speaker 1>not life threatening, but you still need help, and you

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>also say it three times. Yes, that's a really important thing. Um.

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 1>You want to say these things three times. That's what

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 1>gets everybody's attention, right, that's right. So um that means

0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the Tom Petty song in French is pam pan. Go

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 1>ahead and give it to me. I love that, okay,

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>so um pam pan is where you're you're basically saying, like,

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I've got a pretty like a noteworthy emergency here, but

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>it's probably not life threatening. Somebody on board our boat,

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 1>um has has fallen and broken their kneecap. They're probably

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 1>not gonna die, but they really want to get off

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 1>this boat. Can you come help us as soon as possible?

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:52.319
<v Speaker 1>Kind of thing or Um, there's we we actually have

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>a breakdown, like our boat is broken down. We're not

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>in any kind of threat because the weather is fine

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:58.959
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, but we do need some help. That's when

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 1>you would use pam pan. That's right. There's another one

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 1>too that I could barely find. I found I found

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 1>it referenced in one article on Wikipedia. Chuck um, and

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.679
<v Speaker 1>that was it. But it's security, and I don't know

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>if you say it security or something like that, but

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.319
<v Speaker 1>it's spelled s C C U R I T E.

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Thinks from the French as well. This may have been

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.760
<v Speaker 1>from the Government of Canada website, which would make sense,

0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>but this one makes a lot of sense. You'd say security, security, security,

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.599
<v Speaker 1>if that's how you say it, and then you just

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:37.599
<v Speaker 1>immediately proceed and talk about something that's like there's a

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 1>giant rock that wasn't there before in the shipping lane,

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.599
<v Speaker 1>be careful of that, or there's a shipping container that

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 1>fell overboard, like you're letting somebody know about a track,

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.959
<v Speaker 1>like a hazard, bad weather, something like that. You're not

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 1>asking for help, You're just making sure that everybody who

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.679
<v Speaker 1>needs to know knows about that. That's right. Uh. And

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.200
<v Speaker 1>then this is neither here nor there in terms of distress,

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 1>but something you will. There's a movie trope that always

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>bugs me, so I threw it in there. If you

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.960
<v Speaker 1>ever see someone in a movie say over and out,

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.199
<v Speaker 1>it's a screenwriter who doesn't know anything about radio communication.

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 1>No one who knows what they're doing says over and

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 1>out because over means I'm done talking and I'm ready

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 1>for you to respond and out means that you're done

0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 1>and you're leaving. So you would never say over and out.

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 1>You might say over or out you decide I'll wait here,

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 1>but never over and out. Man. That's um. I love that, though.

0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I wonder who's the first screenwriter to do that. I

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.839
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I hope I want to find out. Do

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:44.959
<v Speaker 1>you ever see the what was it? The Secret Life

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 1>of Sherlock Holmes? No? I did not like it, Chuck.

0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like it, and I thought I would. Okay,

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>well that's it. Chuck's done talking. I'm done talking now too,

0:13:56.000 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and that means short stuff is out. Radio Stuff You
