Number 2 is definitely my problem--I feel like the king of awkward town during small talk! What is interesting, Chris, is that "Hey how are you" is treated by most people as a close ended question--"good, how are you?" is the expected response and anything else comes off weird! I wonder what other linguistic calls-and-responses there are in history or modern day--where it is custom for one person to say one thing, and the other to respond, as a form of greeting. The first example I think of is the Arabic greeting, "As-salamu alaykum," which calls for the response of "Wa alaykumu s-salam." What is interesting about "hey, how are you?" is that it is a question, technically, instead of a statement.

This was very informative and helpful. Two suggestions: 1. Could you turn the volume up on your end when recording? You've got a fairly quiet voice, so I've got to almost max out the volume to hear you well, especially if there's any competing noise when I'm listening. 2. Could we maybe go with "break it down more" instead of "dumb it down"? Just sounds better. Again, truly appreciate these videos. Please keep doing them.

Feels like a cure for so many things in this day and age

Such a strong speech, great video!! I love acceptance speeches!

I don't necessarily come to the Oscars to hear speeches that will teach me life lessons, but this one sure did, and it was done so succinctly. Thanks for breaking this one down for us. It was good to reflect on again.

Very nice.

As always, I love your analysis. It brings so much more to these speeches. Did I understand you correctly at the 5:20 ish mark about the connecting of the dots? Steve Jobs said that it's impossible to connect the dots going forward, we can only connect them looking back. When you were commenting on that part, it sounded to me like you were saying the opposite. Maybe it was just an accidental slip?

Love this🔥🔥🔥🔥

I genuinely believe he was dog whistling and talking to a separate audience and using Joe Rogan to do so. Joe thought he was having a convo but Carlson was using him to peddle his extremist rhetoric. He’s the definition of someone who begets stochastic terrorism. Those that can hear him do. Those that don’t, don’t. Simple simple things I keyed in on…. “The color purple! There are SO many better films than that….” The color purple is a movie about a black woman’s experience in the early 1900s south. His total dismissal and scathing remarks about it really make me wonder. He says things like “I’m from San Francisco, but I can’t live there anymore because of all the….” Then he tapers off. That was intentional. Tucker operates with such precision. He disturbs me greatly. In Lex Friedman he speaks so glowingly about Koreans that it REALLY makes you wonder what he thinks about other races… ESPECIALLY considering his “great replacement” conspiracy he loves to tout. LOOK at the comments under many of his Twitter videos and posts. It’s simply vile white nationalist racism. As a linguistic expert.. I would really love to hear your opinion. His lex Friedman interview was very offputting. Tucker Carlson very subliminally dog whistles. The writing is on the wall….

So good! You pointed out all of the really great things of this really great speech. I wish we had more of this these days. I miss the civility, and I hope for better days to come. Maybe we will eventually get sick of the current mindset that pits us against one another, and we will, once again, believe in and hope for the best in one another.

Obama is a professional liar, an expert on fooling people.

I really enjoyed this whole discussion and I loved the way they bounce off each other and are totally natural...

jumped around so I couldn't follow the convo, frustrating. I didn't like this.

the first thing isn't a fresh take there are to wars going on of course are military has to respond to things. good for you for being able to listen to two bullcrap artist for three hours not such an expert in communication with only 2.4 subscribers

enjoyed your analysis. maybe you should put together a longer analysis, as In more than an hour; because we're here, ears cock, minds expanded/having been expanded/expanding from both small and large dosages of psilocybin ...

Historic? Right wing media stars and master manipulators.

Wow!! What a great analysis. I loved that video, it riled me up so much! Powerful stuff, communication... 🤔

As always, I truly appreciate your analysis. With regards to Tucker, I don't believe that anything he ever does is an afterthought. I think it is all very strategic because I believe he thrives on controversy. He likes to make headlines, and the more outrageous the better. In fact, I think it's more important to him that being factual. Even court cases brought against him and Fox said that his show should have been looked at more as news entertainment and commentary rather than actual/factual news. That's why I've never really been a fan of his. I'd prefer to bring people together than get them all amped up. Joe, on the other hand, also says some pretty controversial stuff, but his approach seems much more thoughtful, and he seems to actually enjoy the process of digging in to see if we're coming to the right conclusions.

I remember hearing this speech at the time it was given. It was unlike almost any I’d ever heard. It was certainly better/more effective than most I’d heard. I didn’t know the speaker before I heard this, but I was certain he had a big future ahead of him in the Democratic Party. It wasn’t surprising to see him run for president just a couple of years later. It’s interesting that this is now a standard, and people keep looking for the next “big thing” to come along in a very similar manner. As always, your analysis is appreciated.

Scripting your fears is a GREAT tip! I’m going to start implementing that

Super helpful and thoughtful

Wow! AMAZING quality! So good!!

This was really great. I often have an opportunity to assign students to speak at events, and I think these straight forward tools can help them be as ready and as comfortable to take on that task. If I had one request, it would be that you would have restated the steps again at the end to remind us and tie it all together. Thank you for these videos. They are very helpful.

love this!!

Bro…. Nice video but this had nothing to do with Katt and everything to do with interview conventions and how Joe Rogan and Shannon Sharpe conduct interviews. You said Joe Rogans name what feels like 500 times.

This video is the Michael Jordan of videos, keep up the great work Mr. Chris from RUclips!

This was great. I will readily admit that I'm not a fan of either of these guys. I don't like the way each of them behaved when given their "pulpit". However, I am impressed with their conduct in this interview. I am especially impressed with Chris Cuomo's part in this discussion (at times it seems that Tucker doesn't really take this seriously with his giggling, but maybe that's a defense mechanism). I think Tucker's best contribution here is what he says at the start of the video where he admits to being incredibly mean to Cuomo, even though he's never met him, and he's honestly not sure why he's done it. Then he talks about how important it is that we get to know people before dismissing them or mocking them. You then echoed those comments at the end of your video. I keep hoping we'll all take that to heart. It's so important to listen to people and hear them out completely, and that's probably especially true for those with whom we disagree. We don't have to ever agree with them, but I think it's important to try to understand how they've reached their conclusions. I'm still not 100% how I came upon your videos, but I'm glad I did. You do a great job. Thank you!

She just is not authentic. The emotions she presents just don’t feel real. It’s seems like really bad high school theater. I e watched forty years of these political opposition speeches and I think this was by far the worst.

you're a nice man. that speech was pure cringe, wrapped in fear mongering trigger phrases, designed to cause anxiety in her audience. from the performative pitfalls to the setting of a kitchen, it came off to me as diminishing a successful woman who had been elected state senator as a poster wife for where conservatives feel women belong. when you listen to her speak on the issue in her state on the floor of the house, she a much more serious and formidable individual. I don't agree with her on most things but would have respected her message more if she didn't assume that she had to live action role play as a housewife to talk to the nation. She comes of a strong and sincere in almost every other speech I've seen, where here she chines off as anything but. I appreciate your analysis though and will continue to follow your content. I care about communication greatly and feel it is something few people hone their skill on.

Her address was written long before the Address was even given...This was not a response, but an opportunity to bash Biden...

She comes off as one of those 2 face people who'll say what she thinks you want to hear but she secretly thinks you're an awful liberal person who's going to hell. I want to throw the word micro-aggression out there to describe her 😅😂

Worried her kids will have less rights than she does. Her daughter already has less. Perhaps she'll thank Mom later.

Great job! I still haven't been able to watch her whole speech because of secondhand embarrassment 😬

Part of he problem she is given a lot of false information and fear mongering.

Imagine naming your son Ridgeway!?

Poor baby has worked her fingers to the bone. The reason the gen z will have nothing is that boomers and gen x are treating life like a monopoly game. They have to have it all. The fake crying sound of her voice is grating.

Lots of comments have been made that this appears more like a hostage video. Leaving aside the content and trying not to be influenced by it, she talks about her kids having no future and then her smiles broadly. seems to suggest the this lack of a future is something she is keen on. In reality she presumably has been told to smile to be relatable and has been doing it automatically rather than tie it into the stuff she is saying. it has also been commented that the idea of her to give the response was to have the Republicans attract more female voters. One would have thought that a better way of doing this would be for her to appear a more powerful and self confident figure. The choice of her rabbiting on about her kids in the kitchen is more a 1950s view of women. The fact that it was so easy for SNL to ridicule it shows how artificial it was. Generally these State of the Union responses are totally unimportant and forgotten within a week. This one was so bad it will have a longer life

I don't believe you are a communication expert because you don't address the breathy fundie baby voice.

Dude I’m glad you did this one. This lady made me so uncomfortable 😂🤣

great video!! Good analysis, I laughed at the clips of her hahah looks like she's done pageants!

Oof those big smiles are cringe but honestly I kinda understand. Delivering content from a teleprompter seems harddd especially in a time crunch without much practice 😅

As I watched her response that night, I knew this was going bad from the start, and it kept getting worse. It all just felt wrong...contrived...overacted...and creepy, especially when she did that whispering thing really close to the camera. Unfortunately, her performance, she was clearly performing, obscured any point she was trying to make.

Think you nailed it on this one. Think at the beginning she was not as genuine or authentic. Her extreme smile didn’t perfectly match with her delivery. Think that added to the point you were making with the rapid change in demeanors. If she was toned down a little the gap wouldn’t have been as extreme and it would have been better.

Great assessment. Thank you for these lessons that you do so plainly and clearly. Could you recommend a video of what you would consider an ideal apology? I see so many that are inadequate, even if the intent was good, but I'd love to watch someone do it correctly. Thanks again!

Some say the video is fake. Aren't you picking that up? Did you notice the disappearing ring on the finger? What's going on here?!? 😮

Thank you.

I can't stand the dramatic music in this video. That alone tells me this guy is suspicious.
