They didn 't have the Martmin-- Martin-Goodman-Trail, so there 'd be a little bit um, rickety on the boardwalk. Beach was always filled. A thing I remember about being little- little in this beach is that they were swimming.

No, no no. People had cars by the time I arrived. And um, no I didn 't see any horses. Well only the, the rigs you-know that like, as I say, the bread. It would be cheaper for them to, to feed a horse I guess than to um, buy the- everybody.

I can- I 'm able to put it up on two blocks, right off the floor. Burner and everything sits there and I says, and when I finally got it in and working. It only took me a day to- to rig up a (inc) for it and get it working and I said, "Now this basement can flood all the way to the rafters and it won 't reach the furnace, so go ahead, do your worst!"

I was like, "maybe she 's like, twenty-three, twenty-four." I only found out she was twenty. I was like, "Oh-my-god I totally feel like I 'm robbing the cradle." But I mean, I didn 't stop seeing her because of that, right?

... when I was a music camp counselor for the city and it was different than karate 'cause karate we have a sense of discipline with the kids while these kids had no sense of discipline. Um, I think some of the kids would be causing a lot of ruckus because they really didn't want to be there. They wanted to be the parents and the parents just dropped them off ...

Yes. Well, if you, if you wanted to buy a house and like us, your first house, young family, living on a pretty ruddy tight budget, you, you had to. You couldn 't afford anything else.

I- I know millions of kids saw it and I- I rue the day that that happened. Um, but my daughter didn 't and doesn 't know about it. She found out about Holly-Jones I think it was Jones- Holly-Jones last year. She came home and we were just chatting and-stuff and she said...

Interviewer: Did you drink anything else besides beer? Speaker: Oh yeah. Whatever was going around. Speaker 2: Rye. Speaker: Rye, rum. Yeah rye. Rye- yeah rye was the big one. Speaker 2: Big one back then rye for sure. Speaker: That's all we used to drink.

Remember the Five-Star-Rye? They used to have that little plastic thing on the bottle of rye. Used to go over to Agincourt there on Glenn-Waford and they used to have the old style liquor store.

... as a child, you-know, we as Europeans, I mean liquor is part of life ... in the- you-know, and um I remember being about twelve-years-old and my father used to like rye-and-ginger-ale, and it smelled really good so I said "Well, can I try some?" "Sure, go ahead" and I- and so I, you-know, I had a drink. It was- it was very um potent ... and I remember the way I felt afterwards, just dreadful.

... and Ryerson, most people called it Rye-High, because it was- well it just- it was very much a mixture of- you-know, it wasn't quite a university, it wasn't quite high-school. You had all this makeshift sort-of- you could find yourself in weird buildings taking a class and the only really modern thing was Jorgensen-Hall and it was- it was kind-of neat because it had amenities like lounges and things like that, that we just weren't used to.

...it was just a lot of fun. Like, it was one of those typical neighborhoods where, like, you came home from school, and scarfed-down your food and then you just ran out and there was some game going on and you joined it, and you came home when it was dark...

And then, and then you work from seven 'til nine, you-know, or you have a cocktail party, you go schmooze with a thousand people, and then you-know, and you teach them how to dance, do the little, you-know square-dancing, and the Macerana.

... 'cause most of the time we went downtown it was to Eaton's and Simpson's. You-know, and that 's- oh I loved those places um and the- the winter- you-know we did- we did the schtick of um, the- going to see Eaton's, Simpson's windows at Christmas mm-kay? Ah we did that. It wasn't until I guess my teens type-of-thing that basically I had n-- no great grand desire to go into the city ...

Speaker: I'm not a fan of the Americans anyway. I- I don't hate them but I- Interviewer: Well they can be interestingly ignorant. Speaker: But I- but I tolerate them. Okay? Um I don't like going to the- I, you-know, I go to The-States very rarely. We did the Florida schtick when we were kids. My father get- one week off ...

He had six- six-weeks of paid holiday okay? So when we were doing the Florida schtick in Florida he had the option of when he could take his time, so a couple of times he says, "Well, we re gonna go to Florida for Christmas," okay? "We're gonna drive down and camp." Well you know, right down- Interviewer: Camp at Christmas?

She says, "Well, she ate something there the last time (inc) chicken bone or something like that, she got sick." And I thought, "What you think the poison schtick is going on in this park- in the- in the park here?" "Oh no ah," she says, "Well you do 't know," she says, "You don't know," ...

So Jeff drives Larry to his house which he 's been kicked out of because he had a scuffle with his wife.

...'cause you- you- I-mean, with C-B-C, like, there 's always this right-of-passage that you go through where you really do a lot of scut-work and, um, and you have to work those kinds of- of shifts, and it 's also- it 's an incredibly competitive environment, and, I-mean, I think I 've said this twice now...
