Max mistakenly uses 'mayday' to ask for help with library books, prompting a discussion on the true meaning and origin of the term. 'Mayday' is an international distress signal introduced by Frederick Stanley Mockford in 1923, chosen for its phonetic similarity to the French 'm'aider'. It replaced the SOS Morse code signal in 1927. The video concludes with a humorous exchange between Max and his friend.
