We've all done it: smiled, nodded, and pretended we *definitely* knew that person who just greeted us like an old friend. In this episode, Roula and Rosie dive into the awkward art of forgetting people — and being forgotten. From unrecognised ex-colleagues to mystery street encounters, it’s all about memory, embarrassment, and saving face.

We cover:

  • When someone remembers *everything* about you… and you’ve got nothing
  • How to react when you’re blanking on names (or entire humans)
  • Whether it’s kinder to fake it or just admit the truth
  • Why some faces stick and others vanish into the void
  • And how being memorable might just come down to being bald and living in a van

Honestly, we’ve probably met you before. But just in case… remind us?
