Beats per minute? You mean words per minute? Or what do you mean?

I did mean BPM, WPM is probably double that around 120. I'm not sure this is a science but I am just tapping to an imaginary beat aligning to when he starts certain words.

Isn't that pretty arbitrary?

I dunno. I don't think so. I might be quantizing it a bit. He obviously changes tempo often but generally it's about 60. You can Google this. I didn't just make it up.

Below is 60bpm.

Are you saying he's pacing his speech and beginning sentences generally on the down beats in 4/4 time at 60bpm?

Not necessarily the beginning of sentences more that the cadence he uses causes the words and pauses line up on the beats.

He's very easy to listen to, whatever he's doing.

Is that why he was so interesting and engaging to listen to?

I think he just means that his timing and delivery was very good while speaking

but everyone knows 138 bpm is the zone where timing and delivery is best?
