Speaker 1: ...and um, put new feed in and stuff-like-that, and she has to do that for all of the horses, and then Speaker 2: Muck out. Speaker 1: Yeah, she has- cl-- yeah muck out and then she has to take out Interviewer: Muck out? Speaker 1: Yeah, just like take all the pooh

Speaker: Mucking? Yeah and you 're ma-- and you- you did that. Interviewer: You were a mucker. Speaker: Yeah mucker and in summer-time bale hay and that 's tough work. Too bad some of the kids didn 't do it nowadays is a- they 'd know what work is.

Interviewer: What 's that called? Mucking? (inc) Speaker 1: Ah I don 't know? A cleaning shit. Speaker 2: Yeah that 's right it 's mucking. Yeah you 're right. Yeah you 're right.

And Edgar, her father, was- I can 't remember his title, but anyway he was a high muckety-muck down at Simpsons. It was an adventure the odd Saturday we got to go and shop in Simpsons! Downtown!

Speaker: So Gerrard, what's up? Speaker 2: Jared. Speaker: Jared my bad.

Speaker: Or, the way she calls like, the way we speak, colloquial. So, like, okay, whatever! Like that, I just said "Whatever." Interviewer: All- right. So "whatever's" one of them? ... What else? Speaker: It's not that common, but, uh, like, if you do bad you say, "My bad." Something like that. Or, if uh... if something's like, cool or something like that, you say like, "That's intense." And, if something's like, like it's got like, old style or something like s-- that, you say, "That's old-school," or "That's ghetto."

Speaker: The first thing I wanted to be was a nurse, or a- a judge. Nurse, judge, a dance teacher, teacher or hairdresser. Interviewer: Really? Which one- which one do you want to most, or right now? Speaker: The one that I want to be- or a lawyer, my bad. Interviewer: Or a lawyer. Speaker: Um, the really one I want to be the most is, a lawyer, or a nurse. And if I can't be a nurse, I'll be a lawyer, and if I can't be a lawyer, I'll be a hairdresser.

Interviewer: No it's not. Speaker: Yes it is. Interviewer: No it's not. Speaker: Yes it is. Interviewer: Wilson. Speaker: Yeah. Interviewer: See those two lines. ... Those are the batteries. Speaker: Whoops. Sorry. Interviewer: That's okay. Speaker: Okay, it was my bad, okay? Interviewer: Um. Speaker: Yes.

Oh yeah. I was at a meeting- police meeting the other night, and I was telling the police, I said "You-know we now live in a namby-pamby sola-- society" uh, nowadays the police are afraid to rough anybody up, you-know and...

Interviewer: Yeah like what were your traditions at Christmas? Speaker: Oh it just went from like Christmas-Eve it was just going from neighbour-to-neighbour-to-neighbour mostly over at Jack's- Jack's neck-of-the-woods.

Interviewer: Sure. Did you- do you have any concerts that you went to in Toronto that stick out in your mind? Speaker: God. I could show you my- I 'll just show you this briefly. Interviewer: Sure. (...) Speaker: This really is nothing. I have a box even bigger than this, because literally, by the time- at the age of eleven, I started going to concerts. So literally, by the time I was sixteen, I 'd probably already been to a hundred of them. And now in my life, I 've probably been to like three-hundred of them. Interviewer: That 's great. Speaker: And I used to- just basically went to everything. Well, there 's from your neck- of-the-woods. Basically went- oh there 's from your neck of the woods too.

Speaker 2: I 'd have to peddle way up into Toronto to deliver one package of cigarettes. Yeah. I think they were twenty-five-cents. Speaker 1: Oh, I thought they had nickel packages. Speaker 2: No, I 'm not sure. I can 't remember, but they weren 't very expensive. But I had- yeah, I had to go all the way up- Interviewer: A pain. Speaker 2: But yeah, it was- it was interesting.

Speaker: I u-no I used to walk for my first three years, and my last year, in O-A-C, my mom drove me to school. 'Cause- and then, she picks me up, sometimes not all the time. She picks me up sometimes because she wants me to pick up Sis. My little sister. But if, talking about used- I used to walk.

But whereas come to Josh... like, especially when it comes to work, school, like, I just couldn't handle it myself, right. It was his O-A-C year and (inc) in grade twelve. And then, when it comes to work, we were like, argue. So we figured, we can never work it at the same workplace or anything 'cause when it comes to work we start arguing. We start fighting, about one, little topic.

'Cause like, he has- he has enough senior seniors to like, make the team really good. But... I think- I think they lost, like-' cause you know the twins, the scary twins? I think they- can you try out if you're in O-A-C?

And then they were saying like, "Oh, um, so you're doing like, the grade twelve, um, calculus? So isn't that like O-A-C?" And then I'm-like, "Sort-of." But like, they were just being so like stupid. Not stupid, but just like ignorant, and like, they think that they know everything. So I was-like, "Whatever."

I think, I think growing up here, gives you a bit of a warped perspective. Not because- and I mean, I- Like I don't really buy into the- like I took a Canadian history class last year in O-A-C and it was-like, "Everyone in Canada hates Ontario, everyone in Ontario hates Toronto."

So it was basically just like try your best, and I mean, they know that I'm stressing out, so obviously it's not that I don't care. Um, and then in O-A-C I didn't take any math, I didn't take calculus, and it sort of eased up a bit. But I mean, it's still there.

Interviewer: You could try playing for the guy's team. It might be harder. Speaker: That'd be really intimidating though. I don't think I'd want to do that. I know- actually I know girls who've been really good, who played select, and then in O-A-C they still wanted to play hockey, but it was like workload, like at school, so instead of just like quitting- and they- they played house league, but they've been on guys teams. But um, I'm not- I don't think I'm confident enough to do that.
