Today we welcomed Bill Clennan, the Memory Man. Bill is a professional speaker who has given presentations at over 10,000 events and been inducted into the Speakers’ Hall of Fame. In his career, he has helped over one million people improve their memory. One of my weaknesses is remembering names. How can I get better at it? . People don’t remember names because they don’t think they can. It’s almost impossible to do something if you don’t think you can. . So we have to spin it around and start thinking that we can remember names. . Exactly. In fact, what I tell people is decide that you’ll remember 100 percent of the people 100 percent of the time. . How do you suggest we do that is repeating it back the best way? . . I never suggest to people to repeat it back. If we meet someone who uses our name over and over, we start wishing they would back off. But here’s the good news – just by thinking of the sound of somebody’s name, that part of your brain shows increased activity. To your brain, thinking about that sound is the same as saying it. I’m emphasizing the sound because when we meet people, we hear their name we don’t see it. That’s one of the things that makes remembering names rather difficult. . The fusion technique – fuse the face with the name . At the moment I hear a person’s name, I look at their face. So I take that information along with the sound of their name and, just for a moment, I bring them together. I connect the two things. So when I see their face again, there’s a place in the brain where those two things originally came together. The next easiest thing I might say to myself, “Tryin’ Brian”, “Shirley Girly”, “Silly Billy”, “Fancy Nancy”, “Slim Jim”, or “Georgie Porgie”. . There you go – except I’ve figured it out. Mary-Lynn’s been using this fusion technique for years because she always calls me “Georgeous”! I think I like that better than “Georgie Porgie”! . For a huge portion of the history of our species, we did not have the written word. Information was passed along in rhythm, rhyming, chant, and dance. So why not use that technique? . “Syllable-ize” – break the name into sounds . When you meet someone who has a multi-syllabic name, break it into sounds. I met someone named “Ken Oracheski”. So I just pictured him with an oar stuck through his chest and he was on skis. . The rhythm method . I met a guy in Honolulu whose name is “Takabayashi”. The very moment I heard his name, I went “talk-a-bye ashi in the tree top, when the wind blows ” When you tie things together in sound, get the first part the rest of it comes along for free. So listen for the rhythm. This is one of the clues if you have to meet four or five people in a hurry. Tie them together in sound and you’ll remember the whole string of names. I call it the rhythm method. It’s especially for Catholic folks! . I was going to say that I’d heard of the rhythm method, but it didn’t have anything to do with remembering names? . Yeah, but this one works better! . .

I know! I was shocked to hear it, too! But the more I examine the list, the more I agree Look at the cohorts of milk, in your local convenience stores The Slim Jim! Fact is, NO ONE LIKES THESE. We all eat them in some vague effort to enjoy meaty salty, perhaps even beefy juicy, but by the second greasy bite, it is clear that no meat exists here. Some kind of covering makes the stick appear to be meat, but in truth, if you were to not even bother taking off the wrapper, the taste would not differ in any way. The X Salad Sandwich! Could be egg, says chicken, smells like tuna Only two things are certain - it WILL give you the torrential hot squirts, and, for some reason, the celery mixed in will always be crunchy. Maybe that is just what good roach legs taste like. The Combo! I have long held that Combos, Goldfish, and Tater Skins were better when I was a lad. Somewhere along the line, some brilliant executive at Heavily Salted Snack Treats, Amalgamated, decided that profits would skyrocket if 50% of the product were converted to cardboard. Fast forward to today, where the packaging ignores such truths with ever more ridiculous claims - Bold Zesty Pizza Flavor! Satisfying Cheesy Niblets! Odd The Jeno s party pizza nugget hat slid under my fridge after the last SomaCow Meat Heat Party had more flavor. Of course, there is your standard fare of cigarettes and cheap hooch and iron city beer and all that jazz It s amazing we live as long as we do, eating this shit. Mickey had a bad experience in the Halls of Customer Service, which is leading us to a showdown with the host, it seems. SomaCow may stutter during the transition, but we promise you that we will always come back to give you the good stuff, right in your ear, Sho Nuff. We sat on hold to the following great musics: London After Midnight - The Kids Are All Wrong The Hillbilly Hellcats - Deadman s Party The Vandals - My Girlfriend s Dead MC Lars - Internet Relationships (Are Not Real Relationships)

From Yolutwin: Snap into it!

Ah, college. This video was shot in October of 2001, not 1999. I was 21 years old student teaching at Hermon-Dekalb in Northern New York. Those were the days. Another kid I taught with, Justin Golkowski, is holding the camera, and was almost in tears when I said "It starts at, you're nuts." This of course prompted me to lose it in one of the earliest videos of my illustrious teaching career. This was an 8th grade class and these kids would have graduated last spring. I hope they remember this day as well as I do. If you listen close you can hear Golki laughing Cast: Yolutwin

Krupa and I on the banks of Shove Park. Peace be the river. Cast: Yolutwin

Well, we had open house tonight and the first 25 minutes were spent grading at my desk. Then I fell asleep for 3 seconds, got roused by my boy Paul and then the parents came. Oh, and I'm going bald. Cast: Yolutwin

For 12 days in August, Syracuse, New York is home to the Great New York State Fair, which includes awesome free acts in the gigantic Chevy (formerly Cole Muffler) Court. This year it was a toss up between Grand Funk Railroad and Foreigner for who had the top billing. In the end, 14,000 fair-goers stayed to see the boys rock out some of the more incredible chart busters. Molly was on my shoulders for the end of urgent so it's a bit shaky, mainly because I was trying to shake her off. Foreigner rocks baby!! Cast: Yolutwin

Here's the 3rd and final installment of the trip to Oregon and back. Thanks to Woody Guthrie for his inspirational song. Cast: Yolutwin, jessenull

Alright, so here's phase two before the grand finale. The first portion was taken on my 26th birthday where Shenkman brought Kevin and I to a small carnival, and I really am not a big ride fan. Then on To Crater Lake, Redwoods, California Coast, Yellowstone, Rushmore, Badlands and much of the trip home. Enjoy Malloy! Cast: Yolutwin, jessenull

Kevin Murphy and myself left Syracuse NY for a bit to head to Portland, Oregon to visit Null, Shenkman and Moran, better known as the 3 J's. It was a long hard trip that we made in about 2 1/2 days and this is only the first of many videos from the abundance of footage we got. It was an incredible time, not soon to be forgotten. Thanks to Jerry and the boys for lending me a tune to use. Enjoy and plenty more to come. Cast: Yolutwin, jessenull and Jared Moran

This is what happens when you live in Syracuse. I am citing Trigger Happy TV as well in this clip. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Cast: Yolutwin

This video is almost one year old. Here we are celebrating Bonesaw, one of the most coveted soccer teams in the history of history. Shenkman actually made an appearance at this thing and I was positive it was a dream. Check out Pedro on the ax...sick. Cast: Yolutwin, Clam Weezy

This is part of my who am I assignment from AP English that I also decided to participate in. Cast: Yolutwin

Well, this is my first music video filmed entirely at Fowler. The costume is from our play Little Shop of Horrors and the dude in the video wrote the song. You like? Cast: Yolutwin

My big sis is celebrating her 36th birthday and her graduation from Morrisville with a degree in massage therapy. Check out my 9 month old niece Ella who is my brother's daughter. First Lutwin child since me, so you can understand why my family makes such a big deal about her. Cast: Yolutwin

Here's a news story on my school as we put on Little Shop of Horrors. Fowler is a unique place and we never get good press, so this is a huge boost for the school. Also, yours truly plays the plant puppeteer, and you'd better believe that's me working the mouth. Go Falcons! Cast: Yolutwin

Barno got called in to work so we all went down for an old fashioned night at the lot. Cast: Yolutwin

Went to visit Klapper but man, I get weird bringing the video cam out. Don't want to look like a hipster, right??? Cast: Yolutwin

Oh man. These are some of my students competing for the Mr. Fowler contest, with yolutwin as the MC. These kids are fucking awesome and they are wicked talented. They backed each other up for every act and really respected everyone's ideas. Pleasure working with them, these guys are awesome. Enjoy! Cast: Yolutwin

Well, St. Patrick's is pretty damn popular in Syracuse. The need for workers to dig the Erie Canal caused a huge influx of Irish to flock to Central New York and today they all celebrate. They say that about 70% of the white population in Syracuse has some Irish blood. My girlfriend Molly is an Irish dancer, and we marched with St. Pat's church which is about to close in my neighborhood. The piper at the end is my good buddy's stepfather. I am of course a Jew and zero percent Irish. It's hard... Cast: Yolutwin

I had a 5 hour layover in Dallas fresh from seeing Null, Jared and Josh and this is what I did. Thanks for the Donuts Cory. Cast: Yolutwin
