8:02

more that we say too so we don't just

8:20

a common response

8:22

even if you're not good yeah you still

8:40

we say what's up

8:42

hey what's up hey and that kind of means

8:45

8:47

and a lot of times if two people are

8:50

walking past each other but you don't

8:52

have time to stop and talk

8:55

you might just say to someone hey how's

8:58

it going and they might respond by

9:00

saying hey what's up

9:02

and then that's it that's the whole

9:04

conversation
