• 0:29
  Speaker 1: but you.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Know, Black Friday is a big one, and according to research,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: it actually does something to our brains. Thank you, because
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: this helps me understand it a little bit better. When
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: it's sold to you, as there is a time crunch,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: there's only a few left your brain, the decision making
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: part of your brain gets impulsive and feels like it
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: needs to act fast, and so you jump and you
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: buy something, especially if you feel there's scarcity, right and
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: there's a big value.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Ice.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: This happened to me this weekend. Man.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: The advertisers are pouncing on they know what they're doing.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, I was looking at something and you know how,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: like the websites kind of keep track and then you
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: get an email like we saw you taken a look
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: at this. Yeah, and then it said act fast, only
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: a few left and boom, like I bought it hook
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: line and sinker it got you. I was like, there's
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: only a few, I better get it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: And they do that on TV still, like if you
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: see a TV.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Commercial, yeah, act now, act fast. Yeah, only a couple left.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: This is the commercial in like two more weeks, only
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: a couple left. Yeah, that would have been gone by now.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Only good for these twenty four hours. Oh in those
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and the following. So black Friday deals very exciting, like
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: when you go to the store as well. But to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: avoid the Black Friday trap, you need to take a pause.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: You need to not feel the pressure, give yourself a minute,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: let your brain catch up. There's some excitement going on there,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: and say to yourself that you need to focus. Would
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I really want this if it weren't on sale?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the problem.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: That's the big question you must ask yourself.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Comes down to self control and getting a chance to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: pause and say those words yourself.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: But we all act on immediacy, and we do immediacy it.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Is now yeah. Yeah. And also when you're in the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: store and you see and I've witnessed this as well,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you see people grabbing stuff, like we talk about the
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Trader Joe's bags and the Starbucks cup, and you feel like,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I'd better get that. It's my only chance. It's it
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: just it's I'm gonna try and do what it says.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: But it is a challenge.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And who knows, Like the Trader joe bags, maybe the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Trader joe people are just putting them away in the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: back for a couple of hours, so you think, you know, No, I.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Have to asked the Trader Joe's people, and they say
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: they're not. They put them all out and when they're gone,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: they're gone.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: But do you really know, I believe them if a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: tree falls in the woods.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Then then we don't know. I believe that there were
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: only one or two barristas per store and they're just gone.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: You're still looking for the barriers.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: They live on eBay. No out of principle, Cubby, because
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: they're on eBay and they're so expensive, and I just
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: feel like.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: No, no, you mean abe right, yes, I mean exactly.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: We have to talk about that story. One day, did
• 3:06

• 3:07
  Speaker 2: That we do commercials here and that we get pronunciation keys.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but one day you were doing a commercial for
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: ebab and they put a phonetic spelling for.
