Discourse markers

Hello! My question is,

What's the difference between, "(Yeah, well, then you say something) AND (Well, yeah, then you may or may not say something) ? I mean about using "well" in this way?

"well" can be a filler. People say little words like "well", "uh", "you know", and "um" while they think about their next words.
