If I'm correct, he was referencing this classic moment from season three of "Cheers"

If I can remember it 40+ years later you know it works!

When I taught 1st graders I used all sorts of methods to help them learn and remember.

He appeared in a later episode, the one where Diane decides to go to Europe with Frasier, that was filmed prior this one but aired after it.
