| 0:00.0 | When did someone get wronged and burn it all down? |
| 0:05.2 | I once attended a birthday party with a bouncy castle. |
| 0:08.7 | The birthday kid and their friends kicked the younger sibling and his friend out, |
| 0:12.4 | so they unplugged it and watched everyone's dismay as it deflated. |
| 0:16.4 | Way to go, Mason. That was a pro move for a 12-year-old. |
| 0:23.6 | I used to be into amateur radio after a short stint in the Army cadets. There was this one guy in the East Midlands, UK, who was one of the |
| 0:28.9 | adult instructors. He was always telling us about amateur radio and did hand out old or cheap |
| 0:34.2 | pieces of tech had tried out and wasn't keeping. Anyway, he was a little weird. Overly |
| 0:39.0 | friendly, with adults, he never had any bad vibes around kids. And obviously he had some social |
| 0:43.8 | anxiety, which he was compensating for. Personally, I suspect he was on the spectrum somewhere, but who |
| 0:49.0 | knows? After I left the cadets and went to uni, I stayed in touch on Facebook. We were in the same Facebook group for amateur radio hobbyists. |

| 1:12.0 | etc. He mentioned in passing to a new member the importance of only using the public unlicensed |
| 1:17.2 | channels, kind of like CB radio in the US, on the correct, very low power setting of half a watt. |
| 1:23.8 | He mentioned it was because Mrs. Miggins trying to reach her kid in the next street wouldn't |
| 1:27.8 | understand the idea that she could hear you, but couldn't reach you to ask you to be quiet a minute. |
| 1:33.1 | He was correct here, and it's also a criminal offence to transmit at higher power on these frequencies, |
| 1:38.1 | even though it's not enforced. Anyway, this got someone's backup, and he was kicked from the group |
| 1:42.6 | for preaching. After unsuccessfully asking to be let back in, he set up a larger antenna in his back |
| 1:48.3 | garden, set up a super fancy aerial atop of it with a 30 watt transmission system. |
