These are muletillas in Spanish. In English we refer to them as filler words. They only serve to provide a pause so that the speaker can have time to formulate what he wants to say and how he wants to express it in his mind. They do not effect the meaning of what follows.
Well, look......
We have a few previous threads on muletillas. I'm trying to remember what the Spanish equivalent to the English Er, uh, um....is. Was it Este....?
Sorry, I just read your profile. When reading your previous thread I thought for some reason that you were a Spanish native. Maybe it was because you asked your question in Spanish. I haven't progressed that far yet.
By the way, pues does not carry a tilde. The ue form a diphthong with the strong vowel "e" carrying the stress. There would be no reason to place an accent mark on it. That would normally occur if you wanted to "break" the diphthong and place the stress on the weak vowel "u".
