We address recent comments about overusing filler words like "Umm" "Like" and "You Know".  Then we dive deep into the book "Chatter" by Ethan Kross to explore our incessant inner voice.  Why does the voice in our head so often sabotage us when we need it most?  How can we tame it?  We try to find out by confronting our own inner beasts.
