Speaker 1 (00:00):
Somebody sent me this, and it was it feels as
though it was a little bit attacking, a little bit
of personal attacking. The average American asked, what did you
say over a thousand times a year?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
No way, Oh it's higher for you.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Yeah, no, not at all, Elliott.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
You say the phrase say again easily forty times a morning.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Zero chance, Tyler, say again?
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Am I?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Am I low balling?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Forty times a day?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Forty seems a little high.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Okay, forty times a day.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Maybe like thirty six thirty seven times?
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Do I really?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, you don't realize it?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Well, no, I want to hear the conversation. But sometimes
am I saying it because people aren't talking clearly?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Maybe you really?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Do?
Speaker 6 (00:56):
You say it?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
For clarification, there's a lot of people say it and
you people may just really be hard of hearing.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Thank you. Well, no no no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
He finally admitted that may no.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
No no no no no no no, I would no
no no.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I thought you meant.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Because of the technology that that it would be hard
to hear.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yes, a hearing aid would help you. Aren't they allowing
the AirPods to do that?
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Did they just get the right to have that.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
The No, that's not what I meant. That's not what
I meant. They say the average person. The average By
the way, Diane, you're no better, they say, the average person.
Here we go, Uh, the average The average person will
ask someone to repeat themselves on average three times per day.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Oh so it's not that phrase and specific what do
you mean? Like I thought you were saying that. People
say what did you say? A thousand times? Or they
just have their own way of asking it.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, because I never asked somebody to repeat themselves, I'll
never say can you repeat that?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
No, you said, say again. But some people will just
say excuse.
Speaker 7 (02:13):
Me the end.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
No, But sometimes excuse me is like oh, I was
just I hadn't finished yet.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I hadn't finished.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Different, it's usually excuse me. Wait, wait, account does not counting?
Or is that separate? Is that also a thousand times?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
The I don't think it's that high.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Okay, but what is wrong? But again, if again.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
It's a I was always taught, and I've never taken
a speech class. However, I was always taught it's up
to the person speaking, it's not up to the person listening.
So sometimes if the person speaking doesn't say the clearly,
then you have to tell them, like, I want to
be able to understand what they're saying. I don't want
(03:02):
to just leave me. So what are they going to say, Oh, Elliott,
here lay out a scenario and I'm going to go purple,
and they'll go, well, I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
That doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
So even if Diane understands it, and I understand it,
and like Kristen not even understands it through the soundproof class,
if you don't, it's the fault of the speaker.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Who are they addressing.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
They're talking all about you, all, yeah, well.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Then one of you should answer.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So if I go well, then you say say again.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Before then just go oh, I got it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
But the average suggests it's just under three times a day, yes,
it says, Uh, that seems low.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
They will ask them to repeat themselves three times a day. Uh,
this adds up to ninety one times a month or
over a thousand times a year.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
That's average. There's no way I'm over average.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
You do not want that guy to start a new
law forget Diane's nicknames at Radford.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Please don't give that up.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
You do not want him calling with the annual summary
of how many times you said say again?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Do I really say that? You?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You have other ways of phrasing it, But if I
think you.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Said, one of them was no, you're not that.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I think Kristen does that occasion, don't you hunt sometimes? Yes,
she does a lot, but you have other ways, but
he does it.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I'm just saying for me right, Yours is a lot
more often than who than me?
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Wrong?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
I notice yours?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Do I do I ever say say again?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Or may not? Use my friends?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Do what?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Do what?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Now? Come again?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Say come again?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Say again?
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
But then he'll start to talk before you can say
it again. She says, it's fifty times a day, is it?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I don't think it is. I'll tell you what this
guy said to me. It felt very attacking.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Gee Gee says in Elliott's defense, it's hard to hear
people over chewing. Maybe that's it because obviously we've all
chewed food, and you know what that does to your
You can hear it sometimes, but I try to chew
a softer consistency. But then, you know what, then there's
a chip in there.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
It's low.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Ben always thought say again was a bit the.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
But again, here's what here's what Here's what people don't understand. Right,
here's what people don't understand. Like have any of these
people ever been on the phone.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Of course, imagine.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
So sometimes it's hard to hear somebody, or if it
cuts out, and it's my responsibility, as my buddy Scott
Shannon would say, as they head pronounced the cater to
to be able to hear them. So if they cut out,
or the phone is garbage, or maybe they're eating, we're
all going. We're all say and I'll say it, Oh,
excuse me, I didn't catch that, and then they'll repeat it.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
You've never been that political. You may as well say uh.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
And I'm four feet from you, and you say it
to us the most.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Because sometimes you don't make sense.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
What you've hit on many reasons. Now, yes, but all
I want to do is you're clearly you're just seeing
what can stick because you've said that. It may be
the person mumble it, it may be the logic.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
It made a lot of technology.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You even admitted it, and maybe your own no I
answered too quickly, there your own hearing ability? Which one
is it? I will stick to an argument, but there's
a lot of them. For some people their logic may
be off for other people. They may be mumbling for
other people. Their phone may not work in any cases,
I am hearing.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I don't have a hearing issue.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That was I just I anticipated an answer and answered there.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But maybe that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Wow, this is lit the social media lounge up.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It says, despite difficulty in hearing what others said, the
average respondent will only ask twice before giving up on
understanding and just pretending that they've heard what the person said.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I don't do that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, you'll keep asking.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I've never asked somebody to repeat themselves three times?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Are you sure?
Speaker 8 (07:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Wouldn't you in that conversation, whether your person or person
be Just think to yourself, what the hell is going on?
Why am I having to ask so many times?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I do sometimes where I'm like, oh my god, this
person just doesn't make any sense. But I want to
I want to be a polite host, a polite head
pronounced the kator and then be able to and be
able to have a back for a conversation.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, but there are ways of indicating that you cannot
understand what they're saying.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Well, what do you want me to do? Hold my
hand up?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
To my ear. I understand the message, and you could say, oh,
I'm not following you.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
You wouldn't. Well, that's asking them to repeat themselves.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
You wouldn't it just because you don't hear somebody or
they may be mumbling, I would say I'm not following you.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Oh. It also says in here in this I disagree with.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
It says that, well, this says sometimes people won't go
places if they think that they won't be able to hear.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Those are people with a hearing issue.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Oh, there are loud restaurants. I'm sure people avoid. Oh yeah, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But it says perhaps because the consequences of mishearing, twenty
percent of people admit they've avoided social situations because of
hearing difficulties. Where are you not going? Or is that
people who are like hard of hearing? They just don't
want to admit it. Maybe if I was hard of hearing,
I would I would tell you you did, yeah, but
then you backtrack.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Also, I don't like this, whether you have hearing loss
or not.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Quote, nobody likes to ask someone to repeat themselves.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
It is rude. No it's not, but it traditional. Is
that rude if you don't because.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
It makes you look like you weren't paying listen.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, no, didn't you want me to tell? Then I'll
flag you for what it is. I'm paying attention.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Maybe I may have a spoon in my hand, but
I am paying attention.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
During the rest of this break, maybe before, you don't
after you don't understand something, regardless of the reason you indicate,
why are you You're asking for it to be repeated,
just so we can track where you're at. So you
either have to say I didn't understand you, right.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
You make no sense?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Bad phone, I didn't hear it, hear you. I am
hearing them. If I didn't hear them, I wouldn't be
able to tell you. It's illogical.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
No, there are times when people say their names and
you'll say, well, I didn't hear them.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
The no, well, because they were like and I don't
understand what that is and I want to be able
to address and Bien, what do you want.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Me to say?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Oh, Hio, Diane and I and Kristen, we all hear
the name.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Fine, I don't. I don't. Well, yeah, but I'm pushing buttons.
I'm going to take me around. I got a pen
right here.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
So you're not paying attention. You have to say that.
If that's the reason, let's see how this goes.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Where am I going? Where am I going? And I
don't think I say, and.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
By the way, by the way, Diane, if if if, if,
if it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Were you answering the phone, you'd have to say, excuse me. Also,
I just get put in that that I have to
be the one.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
To ask yes because you're driving the bus, because I
am the.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
President of Jockey, I'm a jersey boy.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Hi, Ellie in the morning, I'm sorry, can you say
that again? You mumbled, Hey, it's for Frederick.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Can listen. You do it all the time. It's like
your crutch. And it's only because your brain's working so
fast that you tend to do it more earlier in
the morning. And I think you do it more to
Diana Tyler than you do to your callers.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Oh I do.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Oh, that's because Diane's very illogical and mumbles.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Wait is that true. I don't even catch myself doing it.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I've never been accused of mumbling.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Because you're not understanding them. It's because your brain hasn't
processed what they said yet, and so you're doing it
as like a crutch. Like, just say again.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
It almost a couple of seconds, you know what, don't
try to interpret him.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
No, I think you're right. It is my my brain.
My brain is so fast that it's it's sorting through
it's like a it's like a supercomputer, and it's sorting
through the right response.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
You may be on decide that's right.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
It's not your fault that these people are aren't on
your level.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Thank you? Hey, you know what? Can you repeat that?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
All right?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Very good?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Thank you sir, thank you? Yes, Oh, I guess we
should be thankful. It's not a cough. Tim writes on Facebook.
The show would actually end on time at ten o'clock
if Elliott didn't ask people to repeat themselves so much.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
So.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Tim thinks there's an O plus repeat his statements.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
That's why it's gotten so late over the year. Where
am I going?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Fine?
Speaker 8 (12:31):
Three?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Hi Elliott in the morning?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Yes? Hi?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Who is this?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (12:40):
This is Zoe.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yes, lady, go ahead? What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I didn't you didn't hear Bowie?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
It's Zoey. That's oh.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I'm sorry, I heard Bowie.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I heard Bowie. I'm sorry. That's an honest mistake.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
I make honest mistakes every time.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Anyway, well really every time I say my name It's
okay anyway, Yes, more of an overteever in my life.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
What do you mean?
Speaker 8 (13:11):
I I think I'm in a thousand times a day
that I say what'd you say?
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Did you say it again?
Speaker 8 (13:17):
I work at a Starbucks and when I take orders
over the drive through, no idea, people are saying, I'm
the person that like when you say tim, I'm like,
uh Joan, they're saying no. I also work at a
school with four year olds who have autism. I have
them say repeat themselves four hundred times a day, no
(13:40):
idea what they're saying. And when I got married, one
of our best friends was like, oh, this is the
perfect relationship. You can't hear in your husband's a mumblers like,
don't have a fight because you.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Don't know what you told you.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Guys are saying to.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Each other in your defense, in your defense, I get it,
you know what I mean? Like if if, if, if
you were surrounded all day with four year olds who
who are on the spectrum and in some cases severely,
I can understand having to ask them to repeat themselves.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
That stupid squawk Box.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
There are times I ask the people on the other side.
I'm very clear when I order, but I can't when
they repeat it back or something. I oh, you know,
I hate, I hate, I hate the person on the
other end. But anyway, you have a reason. But Diane says,
I do it to her. Well, that other guy said,
I do it to Diane all the time. Diane generally
(14:29):
has good but she's not hearing well today, I'll tell
you that. But Diane generally speaks clearly, but sometimes she
just the logic is off.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
Yeah, The fact when my husband and I have any
conversations is literally a miracle because he doesn't make words
and I can't hear anything.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
All right, Well, thank you, Bowie Zoe, thank you, thank you. Yeah,
who was hard at hearing?
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Now?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
That was an honest mistake. And she said it happens
to her all the time.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
By the way, if I ever hear somebody's name wrong,
it's an honest mistake. It's not like they say my
name is Sarah and I go, oh, hi, Debbie, just.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Because I want to be Sometimes it's been pretty far off.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
The look you were way off.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It was a bad time to have.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
That exactly exactly when the rest of us clearly understood her.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Hi, Elliott the morning.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Hi, my name is Daniel, and I am actually hanging
paid there.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
There are times.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Where I cannot stand going to a loud restaurant. Uh.
There was one time I was at the boat house,
right there was the boat House in Annapolis, and my
hearing it battery died and I did not have an
extra battery. I was miserable the whole time.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Why would you always carry an extra battery with you?
Speaker 7 (15:54):
Because I'm an idiot?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Thank you? I mean, hey, do you?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I mean, why don't you? Why don't you have an
that works?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
You know, I'm not getting stung by a bee every day,
but here's people every day.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yeah, but I mean, I'm sure those batteries probably last
a decent amount of time.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
I know, it's about seven days.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Oh that's it.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
God, I was.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
I was like months, No, no, it's it's it's seven days.
And the the next time we were out, I was
with my girlfriend, my now wife at the time.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
Uh that's the reason she's my wife is because I
was out somewhere. I think we're at Renfest, and I
didn't the battery died. And she had batteries for me.
I was like, oh man, I'm gonna have to go to.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
The car line and nice what a great.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Was like, okay, yeah, she's a keeper.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
But yeah, there's definitely times where I don't want to
go out.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Okay, but I get it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
But but but that's because like you have a you
have a problem, not a well you know what I mean,
Like you you're impaired.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
I stand I've I've had hearing it since I was
two months old.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I was just gonna just say, who excuse me? Why
are you well you probably can't hear me trying to
talk to you.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Why why did you have to get hearing aids?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
What?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
What? What went south?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
The The scientific explanation is that I defecated while in
utero and that just created problems. There's no rhyme or
reason for why one thing went wrong and then the other.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Anybody have that on their bingo card? No?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Wow, Yeah, you asked your ears?
Speaker 4 (17:41):
All right, very good, very good, Thank you my friend.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
By the way, Uh, for Zoe and that guy, and
nobody's repeated themselves, well you're trying.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Well except for Diane had them.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Repeat themselves up.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, So if you could just take this break as
a standalone or as an example of what a regular
day is like.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Zero zero, zero, repeat.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
You know this break as opposed to twenty five years.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
How about that guy yesked in his ears.
Somebody sent me this, and it was it feels as
though it was a little bit attacking, a little bit
of personal attacking. The average American asked, what did you
say over a thousand times a year?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
No way, Oh it's higher for you.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Yeah, no, not at all, Elliott.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
You say the phrase say again easily forty times a morning.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Zero chance, Tyler, say again?
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Am I?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Am I low balling?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Forty times a day?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Forty seems a little high.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Okay, forty times a day.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Maybe like thirty six thirty seven times?
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Do I really?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, you don't realize it?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Well, no, I want to hear the conversation. But sometimes
am I saying it because people aren't talking clearly?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Maybe you really?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Do?
Speaker 6 (00:56):
You say it?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
For clarification, there's a lot of people say it and
you people may just really be hard of hearing.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Thank you. Well, no no no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
He finally admitted that may no.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
No no no no no no no, I would no
no no.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I thought you meant.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Because of the technology that that it would be hard
to hear.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yes, a hearing aid would help you. Aren't they allowing
the AirPods to do that?
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Did they just get the right to have that.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
The No, that's not what I meant. That's not what
I meant. They say the average person. The average By
the way, Diane, you're no better, they say, the average person.
Here we go, Uh, the average The average person will
ask someone to repeat themselves on average three times per day.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Oh so it's not that phrase and specific what do
you mean? Like I thought you were saying that. People
say what did you say? A thousand times? Or they
just have their own way of asking it.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, because I never asked somebody to repeat themselves, I'll
never say can you repeat that?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
No, you said, say again. But some people will just
say excuse.
Speaker 7 (02:13):
Me the end.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
No, But sometimes excuse me is like oh, I was
just I hadn't finished yet.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I hadn't finished.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Different, it's usually excuse me. Wait, wait, account does not counting?
Or is that separate? Is that also a thousand times?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
The I don't think it's that high.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Okay, but what is wrong? But again, if again.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
It's a I was always taught, and I've never taken
a speech class. However, I was always taught it's up
to the person speaking, it's not up to the person listening.
So sometimes if the person speaking doesn't say the clearly,
then you have to tell them, like, I want to
be able to understand what they're saying. I don't want
(03:02):
to just leave me. So what are they going to say, Oh, Elliott,
here lay out a scenario and I'm going to go purple,
and they'll go, well, I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
That doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
So even if Diane understands it, and I understand it,
and like Kristen not even understands it through the soundproof class,
if you don't, it's the fault of the speaker.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Who are they addressing.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
They're talking all about you, all, yeah, well.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Then one of you should answer.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So if I go well, then you say say again.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Before then just go oh, I got it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
But the average suggests it's just under three times a day, yes,
it says, Uh, that seems low.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
They will ask them to repeat themselves three times a day. Uh,
this adds up to ninety one times a month or
over a thousand times a year.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
That's average. There's no way I'm over average.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
You do not want that guy to start a new
law forget Diane's nicknames at Radford.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Please don't give that up.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
You do not want him calling with the annual summary
of how many times you said say again?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Do I really say that? You?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You have other ways of phrasing it, But if I
think you.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Said, one of them was no, you're not that.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I think Kristen does that occasion, don't you hunt sometimes? Yes,
she does a lot, but you have other ways, but
he does it.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I'm just saying for me right, Yours is a lot
more often than who than me?
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Wrong?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
I notice yours?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Do I do I ever say say again?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Or may not? Use my friends?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Do what?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Do what?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Now? Come again?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Say come again?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Say again?
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
But then he'll start to talk before you can say
it again. She says, it's fifty times a day, is it?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I don't think it is. I'll tell you what this
guy said to me. It felt very attacking.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Gee Gee says in Elliott's defense, it's hard to hear
people over chewing. Maybe that's it because obviously we've all
chewed food, and you know what that does to your
You can hear it sometimes, but I try to chew
a softer consistency. But then, you know what, then there's
a chip in there.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
It's low.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Ben always thought say again was a bit the.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
But again, here's what here's what Here's what people don't understand. Right,
here's what people don't understand. Like have any of these
people ever been on the phone.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Of course, imagine.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
So sometimes it's hard to hear somebody, or if it
cuts out, and it's my responsibility, as my buddy Scott
Shannon would say, as they head pronounced the cater to
to be able to hear them. So if they cut out,
or the phone is garbage, or maybe they're eating, we're
all going. We're all say and I'll say it, Oh,
excuse me, I didn't catch that, and then they'll repeat it.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
You've never been that political. You may as well say uh.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
And I'm four feet from you, and you say it
to us the most.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Because sometimes you don't make sense.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
What you've hit on many reasons. Now, yes, but all
I want to do is you're clearly you're just seeing
what can stick because you've said that. It may be
the person mumble it, it may be the logic.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
It made a lot of technology.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You even admitted it, and maybe your own no I
answered too quickly, there your own hearing ability? Which one
is it? I will stick to an argument, but there's
a lot of them. For some people their logic may
be off for other people. They may be mumbling for
other people. Their phone may not work in any cases,
I am hearing.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I don't have a hearing issue.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That was I just I anticipated an answer and answered there.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But maybe that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Wow, this is lit the social media lounge up.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It says, despite difficulty in hearing what others said, the
average respondent will only ask twice before giving up on
understanding and just pretending that they've heard what the person said.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I don't do that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, you'll keep asking.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I've never asked somebody to repeat themselves three times?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Are you sure?
Speaker 8 (07:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Wouldn't you in that conversation, whether your person or person
be Just think to yourself, what the hell is going on?
Why am I having to ask so many times?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I do sometimes where I'm like, oh my god, this
person just doesn't make any sense. But I want to
I want to be a polite host, a polite head
pronounced the kator and then be able to and be
able to have a back for a conversation.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, but there are ways of indicating that you cannot
understand what they're saying.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Well, what do you want me to do? Hold my
hand up?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
To my ear. I understand the message, and you could say, oh,
I'm not following you.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
You wouldn't. Well, that's asking them to repeat themselves.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
You wouldn't it just because you don't hear somebody or
they may be mumbling, I would say I'm not following you.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Oh. It also says in here in this I disagree with.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
It says that, well, this says sometimes people won't go
places if they think that they won't be able to hear.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Those are people with a hearing issue.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Oh, there are loud restaurants. I'm sure people avoid. Oh yeah, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But it says perhaps because the consequences of mishearing, twenty
percent of people admit they've avoided social situations because of
hearing difficulties. Where are you not going? Or is that
people who are like hard of hearing? They just don't
want to admit it. Maybe if I was hard of hearing,
I would I would tell you you did, yeah, but
then you backtrack.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Also, I don't like this, whether you have hearing loss
or not.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Quote, nobody likes to ask someone to repeat themselves.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
It is rude. No it's not, but it traditional. Is
that rude if you don't because.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
It makes you look like you weren't paying listen.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, no, didn't you want me to tell? Then I'll
flag you for what it is. I'm paying attention.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Maybe I may have a spoon in my hand, but
I am paying attention.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
During the rest of this break, maybe before, you don't
after you don't understand something, regardless of the reason you indicate,
why are you You're asking for it to be repeated,
just so we can track where you're at. So you
either have to say I didn't understand you, right.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
You make no sense?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Bad phone, I didn't hear it, hear you. I am
hearing them. If I didn't hear them, I wouldn't be
able to tell you. It's illogical.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
No, there are times when people say their names and
you'll say, well, I didn't hear them.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
The no, well, because they were like and I don't
understand what that is and I want to be able
to address and Bien, what do you want.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Me to say?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Oh, Hio, Diane and I and Kristen, we all hear
the name.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Fine, I don't. I don't. Well, yeah, but I'm pushing buttons.
I'm going to take me around. I got a pen
right here.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
So you're not paying attention. You have to say that.
If that's the reason, let's see how this goes.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Where am I going? Where am I going? And I
don't think I say, and.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
By the way, by the way, Diane, if if if, if,
if it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Were you answering the phone, you'd have to say, excuse me. Also,
I just get put in that that I have to
be the one.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
To ask yes because you're driving the bus, because I
am the.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
President of Jockey, I'm a jersey boy.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Hi, Ellie in the morning, I'm sorry, can you say
that again? You mumbled, Hey, it's for Frederick.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Can listen. You do it all the time. It's like
your crutch. And it's only because your brain's working so
fast that you tend to do it more earlier in
the morning. And I think you do it more to
Diana Tyler than you do to your callers.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Oh I do.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Oh, that's because Diane's very illogical and mumbles.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Wait is that true. I don't even catch myself doing it.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I've never been accused of mumbling.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Because you're not understanding them. It's because your brain hasn't
processed what they said yet, and so you're doing it
as like a crutch. Like, just say again.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
It almost a couple of seconds, you know what, don't
try to interpret him.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
No, I think you're right. It is my my brain.
My brain is so fast that it's it's sorting through
it's like a it's like a supercomputer, and it's sorting
through the right response.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
You may be on decide that's right.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
It's not your fault that these people are aren't on
your level.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Thank you? Hey, you know what? Can you repeat that?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
All right?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Very good?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Thank you sir, thank you? Yes, Oh, I guess we
should be thankful. It's not a cough. Tim writes on Facebook.
The show would actually end on time at ten o'clock
if Elliott didn't ask people to repeat themselves so much.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
So.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Tim thinks there's an O plus repeat his statements.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
That's why it's gotten so late over the year. Where
am I going?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Fine?
Speaker 8 (12:31):
Three?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Hi Elliott in the morning?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Yes? Hi?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Who is this?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (12:40):
This is Zoe.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yes, lady, go ahead? What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I didn't you didn't hear Bowie?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
It's Zoey. That's oh.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I'm sorry, I heard Bowie.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I heard Bowie. I'm sorry. That's an honest mistake.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
I make honest mistakes every time.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Anyway, well really every time I say my name It's
okay anyway, Yes, more of an overteever in my life.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
What do you mean?
Speaker 8 (13:11):
I I think I'm in a thousand times a day
that I say what'd you say?
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Did you say it again?
Speaker 8 (13:17):
I work at a Starbucks and when I take orders
over the drive through, no idea, people are saying, I'm
the person that like when you say tim, I'm like,
uh Joan, they're saying no. I also work at a
school with four year olds who have autism. I have
them say repeat themselves four hundred times a day, no
(13:40):
idea what they're saying. And when I got married, one
of our best friends was like, oh, this is the
perfect relationship. You can't hear in your husband's a mumblers like,
don't have a fight because you.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Don't know what you told you.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Guys are saying to.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Each other in your defense, in your defense, I get it,
you know what I mean? Like if if, if, if
you were surrounded all day with four year olds who
who are on the spectrum and in some cases severely,
I can understand having to ask them to repeat themselves.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
That stupid squawk Box.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
There are times I ask the people on the other side.
I'm very clear when I order, but I can't when
they repeat it back or something. I oh, you know,
I hate, I hate, I hate the person on the
other end. But anyway, you have a reason. But Diane says,
I do it to her. Well, that other guy said,
I do it to Diane all the time. Diane generally
(14:29):
has good but she's not hearing well today, I'll tell
you that. But Diane generally speaks clearly, but sometimes she
just the logic is off.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
Yeah, The fact when my husband and I have any
conversations is literally a miracle because he doesn't make words
and I can't hear anything.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
All right, Well, thank you, Bowie Zoe, thank you, thank you. Yeah,
who was hard at hearing?
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Now?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
That was an honest mistake. And she said it happens
to her all the time.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
By the way, if I ever hear somebody's name wrong,
it's an honest mistake. It's not like they say my
name is Sarah and I go, oh, hi, Debbie, just.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Because I want to be Sometimes it's been pretty far off.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
The look you were way off.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It was a bad time to have.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
That exactly exactly when the rest of us clearly understood her.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Hi, Elliott the morning.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Hi, my name is Daniel, and I am actually hanging
paid there.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
There are times.
Speaker 7 (15:31):
Where I cannot stand going to a loud restaurant. Uh.
There was one time I was at the boat house,
right there was the boat House in Annapolis, and my
hearing it battery died and I did not have an
extra battery. I was miserable the whole time.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Why would you always carry an extra battery with you?
Speaker 7 (15:54):
Because I'm an idiot?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Thank you? I mean, hey, do you?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I mean, why don't you? Why don't you have an
that works?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
You know, I'm not getting stung by a bee every day,
but here's people every day.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yeah, but I mean, I'm sure those batteries probably last
a decent amount of time.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
I know, it's about seven days.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Oh that's it.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
God, I was.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
I was like months, No, no, it's it's it's seven days.
And the the next time we were out, I was
with my girlfriend, my now wife at the time.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
Uh that's the reason she's my wife is because I
was out somewhere. I think we're at Renfest, and I
didn't the battery died. And she had batteries for me.
I was like, oh man, I'm gonna have to go to.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
The car line and nice what a great.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Was like, okay, yeah, she's a keeper.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
But yeah, there's definitely times where I don't want to
go out.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Okay, but I get it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
But but but that's because like you have a you
have a problem, not a well you know what I mean,
Like you you're impaired.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
I stand I've I've had hearing it since I was
two months old.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I was just gonna just say, who excuse me? Why
are you well you probably can't hear me trying to
talk to you.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Why why did you have to get hearing aids?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
What?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
What? What went south?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
The The scientific explanation is that I defecated while in
utero and that just created problems. There's no rhyme or
reason for why one thing went wrong and then the other.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Anybody have that on their bingo card? No?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Wow, Yeah, you asked your ears?
Speaker 4 (17:41):
All right, very good, very good, Thank you my friend.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
By the way, Uh, for Zoe and that guy, and
nobody's repeated themselves, well you're trying.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Well except for Diane had them.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Repeat themselves up.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, So if you could just take this break as
a standalone or as an example of what a regular
day is like.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Zero zero, zero, repeat.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
You know this break as opposed to twenty five years.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
How about that guy yesked in his ears.
