Comments

Standards!

Patrick and Rachel

Sure it is ! Also - instead of making new videos, he's making new splash screens and titles for old videos!

Sean Munson

That's no excuse when we pay for them

Chris Flad

Probably didn't have time, between recording episodes of cortex.

Sean Munson

Yeah where is the commentary? ;)

glowingcobra

Where is the commentary??

Chris Flad

Did anybody else notice the "aviato" logo? Legend.

Garberchov

Video quality keeps on increasing, do wonder a tiny bit about leaning to hard on the desperate researcher joke / truth. It's still fun for me as of now.

Reese Wilson

I mean.... it is a sewer... 😁

just me

And here I thought it just meant Messy..

just me

YES!!!! I'm needing Grey to turn those research rabbit holes into more videos - because every historian can laugh maniacally in sympathy and then tell him their own. I have one for you about Bob Wills... Okie Jazz Creator (fight me) and his influences on modern country.

just me

I think I had more actual laugh-out-loud moments (not Derby Field moments) than almost any other Grey video. Love it.

Matt Samberg

Any word on a director's commentary?

Ken Hehir

At least some codes do make obvious sense as to their location, such as SLC.

Ryan D Thorne

Oh I so hope there is going to be a directors commentary for this one. Or a Tiffany-style follow-up video on how this took 8 months. This must’ve been another horrifying deep dive into the forest of all knowledge!

Rick

EWR for Newark made me snort laugh 🤣

CanIcallYouKate

NEW *is* an airport in New Orleans – but if you're flying to New Orleans you're more likely to be flying to MSY, which stands for Moisant Stock Yards, named after somewhere livestock was kept, named after a pioneering aviator who died in a plane crash there.

Martin Deutsch

Yet another installment of Grey goes insane because of sources, the best kind of Grey video

Ava Udelson

(see above)

John Voliva

pretty sure we all are --- IT'S A CGP ADVENT CALENDAR!

John Voliva

Pretty sure this will now be CGP 0, Dead person 4

John Voliva

So THAT's why Worcester, Massachusetts is "ORH!" Thanks for another delightful confection of a video where I actually learned even more useless information to add to my collection.

Craig Brickey

Your favorite …. home of the Sea of Android Tablets … is EWR. Putting the “ewwww” in “Newark” (that was my home airport for many years and many hundreds of flights)

Matt Hessinger

Love that Grey is now doing daily videos. Looking forward to tomorrow’s! /s 😇

Andrew Branagan

Did... did you actually model the skyline around IATA?! From memory, this seems very accurate.

Jérôme Beaulieu

New Orleans is MSY, not NEW

Larry Butler

WHY CANADA??? <3 Love it.

Dawn Earp

How much money do we have to pledge to get SHARKS! Airlines to open?

MrKirbs

To me it sounded like Grey has found the source to the Canada codes in the forest and will deliver it "soon" in a sperate video. Maybe for Christmas? 😅🎄No pressure though

Konstantin Schilling

I always wondered why Canadian airports start with Y. Now thanks to this video I am now wondering why Canadian radio stations start with CY. Thanks CGP Grey!

Adam Rich

Loved it, as always. So... The Canada Y thing... Are we going to get a video titled "Dead people 3, Grey 0" going over the research? Because those are honestly some of my favorites.

This is fantastic. And as someone who has spent more time in SUX than I care to admit, they do indeed make good use of their IATA code.
