In the dialogue, it means that "we had to learn all of it." The original sentence was: "十一乘以十一,十二乘以十二......一直到,十九乘以十九,我们都要记住。"

However, “我们(大家)都要记住 ” can also have the meaning "we all had to learn it." it just depends on the context.

ooh, i just remembered. the phrase ”超你的车“, does that mean to tail gate someone? or can it also mean to accelerate past someone?

  “跟车请自觉, 关闭远光灯,否则。。。急刹!!!”

just saw this bumper sticker online.  Wish we had one like it in the U.S.  seems like so many people when they're in a hurry and want to pass someone turn on their high beams...  真烦死了

oh, i saw another bumper sticker.  "别滴滴!越滴越慢!“  not quite sure how to translate it... supposedly the character ”滴“ means "to drip."

非常有趣的一个podcast!!

没想到你们那儿的Cpod team那么多元化。有上海人啦,北京人啦,西安人啦,盐城人啦,鹤壁人,等等。还有来自国外的人。真够impressive。 

希望有一天我有机会到你们播客里所提到的地方去旅游。
