0:00.0	Hello, smarty listeners. Please take a moment and leave us a five-star Apple rating review.
0:05.1	It not only helps us grow the show, but we might also read your review on Who Smarted.
0:10.6	So do it now. And don't forget, you can listen to Who Smarted anywhere, including Apple podcasts,
0:16.5	Spotify, and Amazon Music, including hands-free listening powered by Alexa on all Apple, Android,
0:22.3	and Echo devices.
0:23.2	Psst, hey, smarty pants. I just watched a blockbuster movie. See if you can guess what it was from these sounds.
0:37.6	Did you guess? Top Gun, Maverick? Great job if you got it. Did any of you see it? Wow, it sure was
0:44.3	loud. Not that. That's just me finishing my popcorn. Yep, that's the sound effect I was looking for.
0:56.1	Whatever you thought of the movie, one thing's for sure. Top Gun sure makes being a fighter jet pilot
1:01.6	look pretty cool. In fact, just being around jets looks cool. Imagine being near jets,

1:41.6	need to be in the Navy to be on an aircraft carrier while jet planes take off and land. And I am
1:46.8	definitely not in the Navy. So chances are, I'll never get to experience that. Hi there. Oh wow,
1:56.0	it's Tom Cruise. I get that a lot. The name's Tim Cruise. I'm Tom's cousin, distant cousin.
2:03.9	We might not actually be related. Oh, but I do know a lot about aircraft carriers. I have lived on
2:10.0	one for years. Are you a pilot? Not quite. I worked in the laundry room, but I am a bit of a maverick.
2:17.6	And once watched an entire squadron's white socks with a red shirt, nothing got ruined.
2:21.6	I said it couldn't be done. Right. That's cool that you live on an aircraft carrier.
2:28.3	Any chance you could share what you know about them with me and the smarty pants? Sure.
