• 2:42
  Speaker 4: If I pushed into a situation.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Then I love it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: I ended up having a good time. But before I

  Speaker 4: you get the car and you're like, you know, it's
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: like this weird pull inside of me. It's introvert extert

  Speaker 3: They can turn it on when they have to turn
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: it on, you know, but that isn't what they choose.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Same with parties, and we can turn it on when
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: we have to turn it on and talk to people.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: But it's takes the Kimberly doesn't have to turn it on.
• 3:38

• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Terry's this is what Terry's horrible at. And she makes
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: me so mad. She does the bait and switch. So
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Terry will be across the room, she's talking to somebody,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: and I know she wants to get out of it, So.
• 4:02

• 4:08
  Speaker 3: so I'm like doing my thing and I'm talking as
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: she fades away, and I want to kill her. She
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: does it every time, every time.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, last time, I went to a Christmas party my wife,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: who is an introvert. Introvert. This is for a TV
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: station in Tyler that I was at. They had a
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: casino setup, which was really nice, but you weren't winning money.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: You were winning prizes. And we go to the Texas
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: holding table and city at the Texas holding table is
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: my boss and his wife, my boss's boss and his wife,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: my boss's boss's boss and his wife, and Wendy wiped
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: them all out of money. Ah, true story, wiped them
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: all out of money. We took all of them.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, these are my boss's baby, You're stealing
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: all of their money. She's like, no, it's Gambley's poker.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: We're good.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: I will agree with Kimberly on the whole that, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: I get why they do at the cocktail hour at
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: a wedding, like after the wedding, yell the reception, you
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: have to wait an hour because the couple wants to
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: have their own time. Sure, but I think that only
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: works if you tell people go ahead and eat, though,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: go ahead and yeah, go ahead and eat.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Is that whole because otherwise you're drinking on an empty store.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're having your drinks and you're maybe there's a
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: charqutery mountain of whatever, and you're like, all of you're
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: picking the grapes are so hungry. So whenever we have
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: our weddings, it's like, okay, we'll be there. You know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: we got to take pictures or whatever. Okay, y'all eat
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: and then we come in. You're so happy and full.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: There must be food show.
• 5:38
