29일 - Ellen Kicks Off 'Finding Dory' Week!

We're here about an hour and I'm glad you'r here. This is a wonderful day for you to be here. We're kicking off Finding Dory week. 

Finding Dory is in theaters this Friday which is like soon. I don't know how many days away but it's really soon cuz it's Friday. So whatever day this is. It's Friday. A lot of people tell me that they like Dory because they also have short-term memory loss. How many people here have short-term memory loss? Yeah, me too, me too. How many people have short-term memory loss here? Me too. We have all been there I think. You forget where you left your keys or you forget the name of someone you just met or forget to put your pants on before you leave the house.  

The other day I did something really stupid. I stopped at Starbucks and I put my drink on top of my car and then I forgot it. And have you done that? And then I drove off. And it was a vente so I got stuck under an overpass. I don't trust my memory anymore. I couldn't leave the house this morning until I checked to make sure that the stove was off which is ridiculous cuz I don't even know how to turn it on. Why would I? 

They say that one reason that we have short-term memory loss is cuz we just rely on technology. Our computers have memory. Our phones have memory. Our mattresses have memory foam. So now our beds have more memory that we do. Which is great because now I can show Portia how much of the bed she and the dogs take up. Because it's still.. 

I read an article that had ten tips to improve your memory. And lucky for you I remembered three. So tip number one, they say people over 55 who regularly do the mattress dance(^^;) have better memory. Which is good, cuz that's not the time to forget someone's name, you know?  Tip number two, exercise boosts your memory and that's why they call it jogging your memory and not Lazy Boy-ing your memory. The hard part is remembering to go to the gym. Tip number three is experts say eating chocolate and drinking red wine can improve your memory. So most popular one. So between getting sweaty and the mattress dance and that, I gave you all some fun homework, so. And now something I never forget to do and that is to dance.
