They encourage listeners to be creative and interesting in their responses, even suggesting they exaggerate or fabricate ownership of certain devices to impress the examiner. The hosts also review related vocabulary, such as "indispensable" and "AI-powered," and discuss the importance of reading instructions or manuals before using machines.
