Haven’t heard anything like this in years. When I was a child, we’d go with my grandfather to the cattle auction and the guy sitting in the chair running the shoe sounded a lot like this with a slightly different accent (in GA USA). As a kid, it was always amazing to me how much sound come out of one person and it took me several trips to understand a word that was being said. Great video, much appreciation!

Same here. We werent farmers or ranchers, but my dad would take us and go to auctions to get animals to slaughter for meat..... So. Ca. desert. Because of the dust bowl days a lot of "Oakies" and such migrated here.

Don't get me wrong I love this video. this person is very talented but I feel as soon as the doctor told his mother he had ADHD she put him in the perfect career path to be somebody and not get in trouble later on in life. Good job Mom!

[@fluidthought42]

Hate to "uhm akshually" you but ADHD would be terrible for this job. You need to remember and repeat quickly shifting numbers in the short term and you have to not stutter (people with ADHD have a greater chance of developing a stutter). This is a little bit of talent with a whole lot of practice.

[@ghmj2607]

@@fluidthought42 bruh, stop being annoying. i'll be your "uhm akshually" person cos ADHD is experienced so differently to each individual person. i doubt you have adhd cos you wouldn't make such a dumb statement like that. unless those are the things that you struggle w personally-- but you're still dumb for thinking that everyone else experiences what you experience. stop making us look like useless fucking victims or retards.

[@drun_do_kun]

@@fluidthought42 I have ADHD but fortunately haven't developed a stutter but I can tell you that when I am trying to sleep that sometimes my mind goes like how this guy auctioneers.

[@fluidthought42]

@@drun_do_kun I have ADHD too, but I will remind you that while the distance between mind and mouth is somewhat shortened by ADHD that can work to our disadvantage from time to time. For me personally it was not only a stuttering but also cluttering of my speech and of course the need to talk aloud to myself in order to organize my thoughts better. The latter tendency was especially reduced by medication.

[@fluidthought42]

@@ghmj2607 Yes, I have ADHD. Yes, ADHD has a range of expressions. Yes, I was being pedantic as fuck. But as someone with ADHD (primarily inattentive, btw) who has to work with numbers all day, ADHD is definitely a disadvantage towards retaining those numbers in short term memory. When on medication the recalling of numbers is far more effortless than without. And considering that the most common expressions of ADHD does include impairment of short term memory... BTW, if you hear "greater chance of developing a stutter" (which I did develop) and equate that being "retarded", that's a you problem. It's not even an exaggeration, lots of things you wouldn't primarily think as being associated with ADHD correlate with having it, from chances of having allergies to developing unhealthy sleeping schedules. Tl;dr please stop my dude, you're acting up when it's not necessary to
