You know, you know, basically... you know? 🤯

[@infiniteFrank]

LFG Delian

[@Michael-mu7uk]

Otherwise great episode

[@startups]

🙌

[@startuplyf1503]

You know was unbearable

[@suleimanpeshawari1032]

Fast talking dudes especially crypto is a red flag

[@Michael-mu7uk]

Sorry but once u start hearing this dude say "you know" as his micro tick it becomes fucking unbearable to listen to. Thats just what i "myself, personally" think

[@dweisbur]

We all have our filler words - it's harder then it looks

[@Michael-mu7uk]

@dweisbur nah sorry theres a limit. It wasnt a race. He didnt need to rush his information out. He could have slowed down and thought for a second before speaking. I get filler words and the occasional um, this was just completely over the top. I want to see his parts written on paper and try distill what he was saying because i was too distracted to even pay attention. Inmyhumbleopinion

[@charlech]

Maybe not a good idea to delegate to a sappy face after all
