Speaker 3: I like it a lot. You need your own else's.

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,640

23
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,200

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 4: it's quite all right. I know it off by heart.

25
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 3: And you know the expiry day and the magic three number.

26
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 4: Yes, the three digit number on the back.

27
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 5: I'm coming up to a sad moment with my credit card,

28
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 5: which I do know off by heart, and you and

29
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 5: you realize how helpful that is. But in June and expires,

30
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 5: so it means I'll have to learn a new number again.

31
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: Oh no, if you ask some they can keep the

32
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 3: number going. They just changed the expiry day.

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 5: Really, yes, yes, yes, yes, I read years ago, I

34
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 5: read a book about mnemonic devices which helps you remember I.

35
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 3: Was just walking with Einstein. Yes, yeah, I've read that

36
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 3: Joshua whatever he's called almost Great Memory.

37
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 5: I was going to say so, in that he teaches

38
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 5: you a way to remember any.

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: String of number, the memory patas.

40
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so what I have is now every number

41
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 5: from one to one hundred is represented by a different

42
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 5: person I know, or a celebrity, and I can use

43
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 5: that to remember a series of numbers.

44
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: I think it's called Moonwalking with Einstein.

45
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 5: That's the book.

46
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's actually a really really interesting book because

47
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: he went on to become the world memory Champion. He

48
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: taught himself how to deal with these memory palaces. And

49
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: in fact, if you've got kids who are starting year twelve.

50
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: I've still got my copy at home. I must give

51
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: it to my daughter because it's like the third chapter

52
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: he takes you through how to do it? So did

53
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: you go to old childhood homes? So I now things

54
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: in them? See, this is how I used to remember

55
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: an hour long stand up tour because there's so many

56
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: stories in I was I kept forgetting stuff. And then

57
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: someone recommended this book. Very easily I could know roughly.

58
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 2: I'd walk around the house and so you have people

59
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: coming out from your childhood in the kitchen, you got

60
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: to the garden and my dad be wearing a T shirt,

61
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: and then on the T shirt would be a picture,

62
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: and I go, oh, no, what that story is? Yeah,

63
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: and I would be into it. That's how stand ups do,

64
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: like an now an hour and a half.

65
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 5: So I just used their place in Kobech that we

66
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 5: were living with. I read the book, but it would

67
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 5: start so my credit card number starts with my PT

68
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 5: Frank he represents the number fifty two. He's out in

69
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 5: the front road. He's laying down Angus Young's uniform. And

70
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 5: then Damien Oliver, the jockey is saluting a big clock

71
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 5: in the front yard and it slowly works its way

72
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 5: into the house like that.

73
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, you just need to read the third chapters.

74
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: It's an amazing read. He does a lot of interviews

75
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: as well. Joshua Feris I think is the guy anyway.

76
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: What we want to know today then is what can

77
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: you still remember? Off by Heart nine four one four

78
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,200

82
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: You know, someone should get that tattooed on them unless

83
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: we forget.

84
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 5: Well, we must hear a little bit.

85
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: Don't just say it right, I got three minutes to

86
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: run down before the news.

87
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 6: I think it's like, what's wrong with the world, Mama?

88
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 6: People living like ain't got no mama's. I think the

89
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 6: whole world's addicted to the drama, only attracted the thing

90
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 6: said it'll bring you trauma overseas. Yeah, we try to

91
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 6: stop terrorism, but we still got terrorists here living in

92
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 6: the USA, the Big c i A, the Bloods and

93
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 6: the crips and the KKK. But if you only got

94
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 6: love for your own race, then you only leave space

95
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 6: to discriminate, and to discriminate only generates hate, and when

96
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 6: you hate, then you're blound to get our rate.

97
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:30,080
