A talk gets exciting when you react with surprise 🎉
Surprise Decides
It seems surprise decides if a talk gets exciting or not.
Flat Replies
If you only say "Oh" and "I see" in a flat voice, the room goes cold.
Say AIUEO
I recommend "a-i-u-e-o."
"Ah!" "Nice!" "Hmmm, I get it!" "Eh?! Wow!" "Oh, good for you!"
⚡ TRY IT
Surprise combo
Your friend tells a story. React with a-i-u-e-o and keep the combo going!
Press start. I have a story for you!
"I went to the aquarium yesterday."
"A penguin walked right up to me!"
"It looked at my ice cream…"
"…and it took 1 lick!"
"Then the staff gave me a new one."
"And it was a double scoop!"
"…Well, anyway. Never mind."
"Thanks for listening! That was so fun to tell!"

The talk stopped. A flat "I see." made it cold.
🔥 6 COMBO! Your friend told you the whole story.

They Talk More
When you are surprised, the speaker feels happy and wants to talk more.
