Another round? :-)

How many times will Michael Barbaro say "hmm" in his first The Daily episode next week?

The Daily is a news podcast published by The New York Times. Michael Barbaro is it's main host. Here's a note on his regular use of the interjection "hmm": https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/24/podcasts/daily-newsletter-reporter-diary-summer-playlist.html?smid=nytcore-android-share Similar sounding interjections like "mm-hmm" or "huh" count. Other interjections like "wow", "right", "aha" or "oh" do not count. Laughs and chuckles do not count. This market will close on Sunday 29/10/2023 and will be resolved after the first new episode hosted by Michael Barbaro has aired. Timestamps will be added as proof. I will not bet on this market and for the record: I'm "pro-hmm". ;-)

I counted 20. If you guys agree I'll resolve later today. There were a few laughs and chuckles that sounded similar, which I did not count, because they aren't interjections.

@redcat It’s tough to count because I am so used to it that I tune them out. I agree with your number.

@redcat As someone who didn't choose 20, I still agree and think you can resolve it. It was a fun market.

I counted 19 but it depends what kind of interjection counts. I was more liberal.

@KevinLobLaw This market will close next Sunday and will likely be resolved after the Tuesday episode.

I'm not betting, because I'll decide on the final count and as you said, there is some room for interpretation.

I hope it'll gain some traction. Otherwise you'll be the only one betting.

@MaxTroet It’s a fun market. Good luck!
