Few people say that in focus groups about some people I've worked for, who have sort of come from less traditional, more, you know, womany that whatever you want, women like professions, they'll say, well, how is she gonna be with men there. Is she doing tough enough? So how you find that kind of middle ground is really hard. When I work for Gabrielle Giffords, if you look at the ads from her first two races in 2006 and eight, she was out like, fixing tyres because her dad had owned a tyre company and she was riding a horse. And she has, like, a big duck buckle on and, like, draws a line in the sand with a cowboy boot and says you're not going to cross this line and cut Social Security and Medicare like, out in the desert. And then in 2010, her, she she promided like all Democrats did, and we were stunned because she was so popular. She still is so popular, and we did focus groups and we changed our ads.

Printed "tolerable", the speaker says "traditional"

Explanation: The speaker says "come from less traditional", not "tolerable". Both start with t, so listen to the end of the word.

Printed "complain", the speaker says "be"

Explanation: Listen for "how is she gonna be". Different first letters, and the spoken word is much shorter.

Printed "nine", the speaker says "eight"

Explanation: You will hear "races in 2006 and eight". The first letters differ, so listen for the full number.

Printed "blade", the speaker says "duck"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "a big duck buckle". Different first letters, and the printed word ends differently.

Printed "plumped", the speaker says "promided"

Explanation: Listen again to "she she promided like". Both start with p and both end the same way, so listen to the middle.

Printed "find", the speaker says "focus"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "we did focus groups". The first letter is the same, so wait for the end of the word.

"tyres" matches the audio

Explanation: "fixing tyres because her dad" has a less common word. The speaker says it exactly as printed, do not click it.

"business" matches the audio

Explanation: "wearing business casual" may look like a trick phrase. It matches the audio, so do not click it.
