        I’ll try and pay attention next time I have to say that that or if someone else says it. I think reading it and over thinking it makes it sound weird

        I think it depends on if you want to emphasize something specifically or not. Second ‘that’ is the default it seems, but I first expected ‘was’ to be emphasized in this sentence
