Ever locked eyes with someone who clearly knows your entire life story... and you can’t even remember their first name?

Yeah. We've all been there.


In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Advice You Didn’t Know You Needed, Drew breaks down the life-saving art of Mastering the Polite Nod — the ultimate survival skill for awkward social encounters.

You’ll learn how to:
✅ Fake it like a pro when you blank on someone's name
✅ Use Jedi mind tricks to make them reveal their identity
✅ Escape conversations without looking like a jerk
✅ And why forgetting names isn’t a moral failing — it’s just how your brain is wired (thanks, science!)

If you've ever prayed for a name to magically appear mid-conversation, THIS is the episode for you.
Packed with hilarious stories, sarcastic wisdom, and actually useful tips, Drew gives you the real-world tools to survive every awkward reunion, surprise coffee shop encounter, and 'remember me?' moment life throws your way.
