[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=29) And I tell the kids on our show, if you don't know what to say, at least have 10 things you could say. [0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=34) Like, for small talk, you can have a list of 10 things to say that work in every situation always. [0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=43) Always. My favorite, my all-time favorite one is, um, uh, is, is, um, uh, uh... Here, it's coming. [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=52) It's, it's... I got it. You're gonna love this.

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=67) Sorry. I don't know. You will end up saying it tonight. I will say it. You will say it. [1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=73) Oh, trust me. Oh, yeah. I'm gonna say it. [1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=77) I am gonna say it. And I don't- Oh, here it is. [1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=79) I got it. Oh, oh. [1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=83) I don't see how that... That... I... A- a- ask me a question. [1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=88) Ask me any question. Uh, okay. So, you grew up in Louisiana? [1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=93) I don't see how that's any of your business. [1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=100) It works every time. Every single time. And it's funny, a lot of the times, though, I have to say to the person, "I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding." [1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=107) Because they nev- no one ever expects it. [1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=109) So, you... Yeah, so the takeaway here, "I don't see how that's any of your business." [1:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=112) "I'll be the judge of that." Judge of that. [1:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=114) And what was my other one? I said it. I have a short memory. [1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=119) I'll be the judge of that. Oh, "Thanks for the warning." [2:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=121) Oh, yeah, "Thanks for the warning." Thanks for the warning. [2:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=122) Apparently, Lucille Ball used to have one, that if she was having a dinner party or something and someone went to the loo- Uh-huh ... when they came back in, she'd go, "Tell her to her face." [2:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=139) Oh, God. You got to tell her. [2:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=148) Well, you can use that when your next guest- Oh, yeah. ... comes in. [2:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=150) Yeah. Now, we... No, tell him. Tell him. Tell him. [2:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/nAwXFYxULVod/en/funny-small-talk-lines-that-work-in-any-situation?t=154) Oh, yeah. It's good pedigree as well. It's good pedigree. I love it. Yeah.
