About this episode

Bret and Josh discuss how interruptions in modern life affect our memory and why it's not something to feel bad about.

This week on TFMT, Bret and Josh unpack why we’re always losing and forgetting things — from keys and phones to entire trains of thought. Spoiler: it’s not aging or carelessness. It’s interruption. A funny, relatable look at how modern life quietly wrecks our memory… and why it’s not something to beat yourself up over.
