Remember when everyone's full name, address and phone number were printed in a giant book and nobody thought twice about it? This week, Hayley, Duncan and Tommy dive headfirst into the weird world of Yellow Pages, phone directories and the baffling journey from "here's all my personal information" to "don't even tag me on Facebook."

Along the way, there's talk of prank calls, mysterious ex-directory households, rotary phones, celebrity phone numbers, and one very determined private detective who could apparently crack a telephone number just by listening to the dial clicks.

The nostalgia doesn't stop there. The gang also revisit holiday photos before smartphones ruined the suspense, the joy (and heartbreak) of developing film, and squeezing far too many friends into photo booths that always seemed to produce at least one blinking disaster.

Plus: Worthing gets unexpectedly roasted, Tommy reveals a circus strongman party trick involving a telephone directory, Duncan confesses to a photo booth romance, and everyone wonders how we ever survived dial-up internet.

A rambling trip through forgotten technology, accidental oversharing, and the little rituals that somehow made life feel slower, sillier and a lot more fun.
