Yes, especially when you mention words he recognizes. It's fun to talk to him like a human, and throw in words like his fur cousins names, cheese, yogurt, nana's house, kids are home, etc. He darts off to the door or the fridge depending on what's said!
Only sometimes when it's a specific word he likes to hear (such as cookie, car ride, walk, mailbox, etc.) otherwise I talk to him all day anyways so he just usually ignores me
