Maybe I ignored that.
What happened, though?
Oh, gosh, that was a fiasco.
That was a fiasco.
So...
It was 2001, February 2001, something like that.
I was at the grocery store with my girlfriend at the time, and she was shopping, and I pulled the Guinness Book of World Records off the shelf.
As fate would have it, I opened it up, and when I was flipping, I saw a memory record.
Gert Metring memorized a 27-digit number, and it said the digits were flashed on the screen for three seconds.
And I looked at it, and I said, three seconds, 27 digits, so three...
It's times 27, that's a minute and 21 seconds.
I could beat that.
I could beat that easy.
That's a slam dunk.
So I told my girlfriend, I said, there's a guy in the Guinness book of world records.
I do this every day at my speeches.
I can break this record.
She's like, yeah, whatever pal, you know, if you could do it, why don't you do it?
And I said, you know what?
I'm going to do it.
