Multiple ways to say 'How are you?'

The podcast episode discusses the various phrases used to ask about someone's well-being, such as 'How you doing?', 'What's up?', 'How they hangin'?' The speaker highlights the confusion that arises when teaching English as a foreign language, as 'How are you?' is a question that does not necessarily expect a genuine answer. The podcast reflects on the peculiarities of language and how certain phrases can be both questions and answers in different contexts.
