This is 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: one of the key things when it comes to socializing, 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: and that is remembering somebody's name like it's a skill. 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: I've never been confident with it. I've always admired your 6 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: recall on names and people in detail. I've never really 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: had it, I'm not, but you're good, even with names 8 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: of movies and actors and bands and musicians. 9 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: I find it so fascinating, though, that there are certain 10 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 2: people in my life that I see regularly and that 11 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 2: I cannot remember their name. 12 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,599 Speaker 1: For some reason. Sticking point, isn't it. 13 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: I don't know why. Whereas I can meet someone only 14 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: once and for some reason a couple of years later 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: remember their name's just associating them with someone in your life. 16 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: I think that's the way that you do it. 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: I went to the foot eat with Lisa and the 18 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: kids a while ago, and this girl came over and said, Hi, 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: how are you going? Great to see your wear? I 20 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: turned around and I went, how are you Sarah? Sarah 21 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: had worked at a hotel we stayed out three years ago. 22 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: What extraordinary? But you bring someone past the office over 23 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: here that's worked in the building for ten years, and 24 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: I look at them and go, oh my god, I'm lost. 25 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: Did you fancy Sarah from No I. 26 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: At that job for a while, I had. 27 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: No idea, And my fear of getting the name wrong 28 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: has grown and grown over time. You doubt yourself every time, 29 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: Kate Richie, I'm almost sort of hiding away a concern 30 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: that I'm going to make a mistake. And then the 31 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: other day we were at Bounce right for a kids party, 32 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: so we're at bout dangerous for you. I was bouncing 33 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: before I'd got on the trampoline. I was just coming 34 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: down the stairs and my left breast was all over them. 35 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 2: It was caning three kids. 36 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: Never even are they okay? You know what I mean? 37 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: My left one's all been bigger than my right summer. 38 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: I think if you pay for them, you're right minor 39 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: natural anyway, So we're it bounced and there was one 40 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: of the other moms that came up and said hello, 41 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: and myself and this lady, her name was Louise. We 42 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: were standing there having a chat with Lisa and I 43 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: at the minute I met her and I did the 44 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: whole nice to meet you, and she said I'm Louise, 45 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: and I went, bang, Louise is your name? But that's 46 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: my sister's name. Perfect and oh isn't it perfect? And 47 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, I'm not going to forget 48 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: that name. Got it? And I felt so confident. Two 49 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: days later, I'm rolling out of the supermarket, rolling and 50 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: bouncing everywhere extremely. I was cart wheeling out of the supermarket. Yes, 51 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: and I saw the face. Now this was fantastic because 52 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: different environment, walking a dog, had a hat on, a 53 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: completely different outfit, and I bang, got it. So I stopped. 54 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: We're having a chat. I'm so excited about knowing her name. 55 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: I'm almost trying to get out of the conversation because 56 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: I wanted her to walk off, and so she was 57 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: so impressed so I could say goodbye, Louise, great to 58 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: see you, Louise. Awesome, Louise. Like, I was concerned that 59 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: I was looking rude at how quickly I was trying 60 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,119 Speaker 1: to wind up the chat because I wanted to show 61 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: off that I remember her. 62 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: And do you know what, you use it too much? 63 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: Every time you address her. You use her name because 64 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: you know. 65 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: It, Louise. I felt like the anxiety of when I 66 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: was about to use the name was building, so my 67 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: chat was becoming quicker. It was almost like somebody that 68 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: was about to jump off a diving board. They'd been waiting, 69 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: they'd got their turn, and now it was And she 70 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: walked off, and I went great to see Lisa No, 71 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: because I knew that there was some connection to me. 72 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: It started with was it my sister or my wife? 73 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: I went with Latha Louise, and then I sat there 74 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: on a park bench waiting for her to come back, 75 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: in the hope of saying see Louise. After I'd realized 76 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: my mistake. She thinks you're so strange.
