I'm occasionally downright embarrassed by HNSearch. Easy example searches to demonstrate include [ROFLstomp], [pathological customer], [patio11 "charge more"], etc. Or, if you want things that take a little effort to spot, you can see that I really, really like parenthetical statements (one English teacher of mine estimated that I used them 20x more than her reference sets... oh, there I go again) and extended surprise expectation inversion as a device, particularly in introductions.
A related issue is that these two interviews were recorded with a 30 second break in between and, since the topics are spiritually adjacent and our memories were fresh, we both recycled good turns of phrase and ideas from the previous interview.
