Do you worry about your memory?

Like what?

How is it?

Mine's really bad, I think.

Oh.

I was thinking about this a lot for this episode.

And I remembered this time when I was in college that I just, like, forgot my PIN number for, like, several days to this debit card that was, like, my main debit card that I used for years.

Oh, yeah.
