20
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 5: Interesting something, doesn't it smart? This is how to play it.

Speaker 3: Every time I have to give it over the phone,

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: they'll say, oh, do you need to get it? No, no, no,

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: it's quite all right. I know it off by heart.

26
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 5: And you know the expiry day and the magic three number.

27
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: Yes, the three digit number on the back.

28
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 7: I'm coming up to a sad moment with my credit card,

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 7: which I do know off by heart, and you and

30
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 7: you realize how helpful that is. But in June it expires,

31
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 7: so it means I'll have to learn a new number again.

32
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: Oh no, if you are, and they can keep the

33
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: number going. They just changed the expiry day. Really, yes, yes, yes.

34
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 7: I read years ago. I read a book about mnemonic

35
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 7: devices which helps you remember.

36
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: I was just walking with Einstein. Yes, yeah, I've read

37
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: that Joshua whatever he's called.

38
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 5: Almost Great Memory.

39
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 7: I was going to say so, in that he teaches

40
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 7: you a way to remember.

41
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 5: Any string of number, the memory patas.

42
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, and so what I have is now every number

43
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 7: from one to one hundred is represented by a different

44
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 7: person I know, or a celebrity, and I can use

45
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 7: that to remember series number.

46
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 5: I think it's called Moonwalking with Einstein. That's the book.

47
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's actually a really really interesting book because

48
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: he went on to become the world memory Champion. He

49
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: taught himself how to deal with these memory palaces. And

50
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: in fact, if you've got kids who are starting year twelve,

51
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: I've still got my copy at home. I must give

52
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: it to my daughter because it's like the third chapter

53
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: he takes you through how to do it? So did

54
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: you go to old childhood homes? So I now things

55
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: in them? See, this is how I used to remember

56
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: an hour long stand up tour because there's so many

57
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: stories that I was. I kept forgetting stuff. And then

58
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: someone recommended this book and very easily I could know. Roughly,

59
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: I'd walk around the house and so you have people

60
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: coming out from your childhood in the kitchen, you got

61
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: to the garden and my dad be wearing a T shirt.

62
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: And then on the T shirt would be a picture,

63
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: and I go, oh, no, what that story is? Yeah,

64
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: and I would be into it. That's how stand ups do,

65
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: like an how an hour and a half.

66
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 7: So I just used our place in Kobech that we

67
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 7: were living with. I read the book, but it would

68
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 7: start so my credit card number starts with my PT

69
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 7: Frank he represents the number fifty two. He's out on

70
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 7: the front road. He's laying down Angus Young's uniform and

71
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 7: then Damien Oliver, the jockey, is saluting a big clock

72
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 7: in the front yard and it slowly works its way

73
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 7: into the outside that.

74
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, you just need to read the third chapters.

75
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: It's an amazing read. He does a lot of interviews

76
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: as well, Joshua Ferris, I think is the guy anyway.

77
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 2: What we want to know today then is what can

78
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: you still remember? Off by Heart? Rio has a very

79
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000

85
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: ain't got no mamas. I think the whole world's addicted

86
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: to the drama, only attracted to things that will bring

87
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 4: you trauma overseas. Yeah, we try to stop terrorism, but

88
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,360

89
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: Big CIA, the Bloods and the crips and the KKK.

90
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 4: But if you only got love for your own race,

91
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 4: then you only leave space to discriminate, and to discriminate

92
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: only generates hate, and when you hate, then you're blown

93
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: to kit our rage.
