The question shotgun!
While your answering they’re locking and loading, using the time to prepare the next question.
This isn’t their first conversation and they’ll be damned if there’s going to be a lull in the conversation.
Being in the moment and active listening are luxuries this amateur interviewer can’t afford!
As long as everyone plays their role and no one turns the questions on the questioner we’ll navigate out of this interaction alive.
