  Speaker 1: The greatest thing about listening to podcasts. It's not the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: same five songs over and over again. You get a choice,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and that's what aero dot net is all about. R
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: r oe dot Net. One of my favorite features is
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: my day of Play. I let you into the actual
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: zone of what it's like to not only receive the interviews,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: but they're unedited. You get them as I receive them.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah, it's revealing my day of play only
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: on Arrow dot Net. Ar r oe dot net. Enjoy
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: your exploration. Oh those old sayns, phrases and idioms. You know,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the things your family and friends would say, and it
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: usually came from out of nowhere, and sometimes it actually
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: made sense. They had to start somewhere right, Who, what, where, why, when?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And how? Some of those old sayns are not only ancient,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: but they still carry a powerful punch even today. In fact,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I live by one of those old saynts. Winning is
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a choice. The goal of these episodes is to help
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: preserve not only a language, but lessons in life. My
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: name is Arrow. A captain goes down with their ship.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Very rarely do I ever bump into a phrase that's
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: actually half history and half myth adding fuel to the fire.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Is our innate belief that this is truly how leaders
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: should behave. A captain going down with their ship. It
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: dates all the way back to maritime tradition, back when
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a captain was seen as having absolute responsibility for their vessel,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: crew and cargo. If something went wrong, it was on them.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: The medieval period reinforced this, saying that no captain shall
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: abandon their ship without passengers and crew. It became a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: well recognized phrase during the nineteenth century in the United States,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: during the days of steam shipping. These were the days
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: when a ship's captain was recognized as a symbol of
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: honor and duty. One famous captain was Edward Smith, who
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: in nineteen twelve was last seen on the bridge of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: a sinking ship. Newspapers had a field day using him
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: as a brilliant example of the principle. The Titanic went down,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: but the phrase became less of a rule and more
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: about morals. A captain goes down with their ship isn't
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: always positive. Captains have been known to destroy themselves because
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: they couldn't live up to the expectation, so it discourages
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: smart survival, which confuses responsibility. A captain goes down with
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: their ship, something our parents would say. My name is Erro,
