Transcript

There are gonna be a lot of people there that I'm gonna introduce you to that I don't remember their names, but I know them, and I talk to them regularly. And they told me their name once and I don't remember what it is, but I'm gonna introduce them to you, and you're gonna have to say before I get the chance to say what their name is, Hi, my name's Joy, what's your name? Because I'm not gonna know their name. I can do that, but I'll seem like I know the I know who they are and I I don't know who they are they are. Or I know who they are but I don't know what their name is. You can do that? Yeah. Okay, perfect.
