Because he's in his aeroplane in "work" mode?

But seriously, I often ask my family to "standby" if I can't answer something straight away .....

I've been a fan of that channel for a long time. Ryan is currently back in America but he saved about a year of footage and is still uploading vids to YT regularly. Fantastic scenery and superb flying whether he's on his own or training a new pilot. It's really good to listen to his thought processes in the air and understand some of the challenges of bush flying that you don't think about / take for granted in "normal" flying.

Standby, say again, wilco, negative, affirm, roger. Rattling things off in the phonetic alphabet so quickly that normal people just don’t understand and you’d have been better off saying Q for cucumber like they did on Wheel of Fortune. Bonus points for day-cimal, tree, niner or fife.

If we had a radiotelephony jar like some people have swear jars in our house we wouldn’t need a mortgage which is pretty tragic but hey, it’s an efficient form of communication. Can’t wait to get CPDLC implants….

Does your voice go up an involuntary octave when you're discussing the May Day bank holiday or which of the three pans you have in the cupboard you're going to cook with though?

(I've only ever made on Pan call for real - fuel tank split in the Pitts and started leaking onto my legs - but did make an effort not to sound like I was on helium over the radio before shutting the electrics down. Would also have made a second one a few years later when it turned out a mate's fuel totaliser did nothing of the sort and he was having problems coming to terms with the situation, but my side didn't have a transmit switch...)

Ha fortunately not, mostly because I’m on the other end of radio with my feet on terra firma. I reckon a good number of my grey hairs are related to the two words though.

Ah! - Have you tried applying the "Remain clear of controlled kitchenspace, unable of offer washing up service due to controller workload" gambit in a domestic setting yet?

Careful, he's going to need to offer himself a deconfliction service from the wife if he tries that malarkey.

Yeah if he tries that there's no chance of getting a zone transit at Brest.

We’ve been together for 10 years. It’s a basic service all the way now.

It's surprising how wide spread that's become
I was on a city guided tour where the two guides used it at various stages to decide who was in control of the group and who was acting as sheep dog at the back (not in airplane voice though - tally ho, bandits etc)

What a great video, really enjoyed it. Love the way it’s made and mixed with charts etc. thanks for posting.

He speaks like that as he’s verbalising a lot of his checklists and procedures and his thought process As A) he’s on his own and to make sure he hasn’t missed anything and B) So the viewer knows what’s going on.

The way he speaks seems completely normal to me, in an aircraft anyway.

I sometimes do this at home or in the car, asking for the “shutdown checklist” after parking and announcing “brake set”. My daughter generally just adds random items like

crisp packet. . . Abandoned
thanks for the lift. . .not required

Etc

I used to do warning messages like gpws when my wife was about to get stroppy like “warning sense of humour failure imminent” but I found it tended to make the situation worse and often resulted in less than optimal outcomes.
