  Speaker 3: Yeah, So what's the deal with using less words?
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Hey? You probably won't believe it by listening to us,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: But people today speak considerably fewer words than they did
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: just twenty years ago.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Is it because we're in the digital world and TikTok
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and all that.

• 1:27
  Speaker 4: in two thousand and five. That number has dropped to
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: twelve thousand and seven hundred in the age of self checkouts,

• 2:11
  Speaker 2: We Yeah, that's not quite what I meant.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I think I'm kind of guilty of that because I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: find that people have such a low attention span. And
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: even when I tell a story when I'm not on
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the radio, I try to get to the point quick,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and I don't think I tell it well because I'm
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: trying just to keep your attention when sometimes I think
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a more worthier version would be better.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: But I'm too worried about losing you.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to lose your audience.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: That makes sense.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And then I know I see what they're talking about,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Like with self checkouts and everything when you go into
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: the stores, I'm still somebody like I'll walk up to
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: say whoever the checkout person is and be like, hey,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: how are you. They don't necessarily do it anymore, Like
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: we've gotten out of the habit of just like greeting
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: each other. They kind of like it could be totally silent.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: You could walk up, all the groceries are checked and
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: then they kind of just look at you and you
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: look at the total and that's it and you hand
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: over your credit card. Like it's like that I still
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: kind of force a little conversation, right, And I'm not
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: saying everybody's doing this, but I have been coming across
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: it where there's there's less of that.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Do you talk to yourself at self checkout the problem?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I think I talked to myself most.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: People when you get self check out? Do you have
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: like an imaginary conversation? How are you doing good?
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Oh?
