Josh Earnest's briefing on the EPA's assessment of the Keystone XL pipeline is used to demonstrate a speech pattern the hosts call "half up-talking." They suggest this rising intonation at the end of sentences occurs when officials are reading verbatim from prepared tabs rather than speaking naturally.

A study from the University of California San Diego finds that young American men are increasingly adopting "up-talking," a speech pattern characterized by rising pitch at the end of sentences. The hosts suggest that the anti-bullying movement may be intended to protect this behavior and contribute to the feminization of the American male.
