Summary

Having fun in high school has nothing to do with where you are or how much money you have. It has to do with how much culture you can invent. Come up with stupid rules and enforce them with vigilance. Get in trouble. Make mistakes. If you can’t be a human disaster when you’re a teenager, when can you be? This episode focusses on my high school years at the Earl of March in Kanata and all mind-blowing idiocy we used to get up to.

You have to make your own culture. Obviously, we're all members of the wonderful West.

0:05.4

Western culture is the best. But within those parameters, you know, there's not only so many events

0:13.2

that we have here in the West with Christmas and Easter and Thanksgiving.

0:18.8

And sometimes, especially when you're a youngster, you want more culture than that.

0:25.2

You want uniform and stuff. I think that's what attracts people that subcultures like

0:29.2

punk and mod and all that is. They want to have a... maybe it's a structure, maybe being a

0:34.8

non-conformist is a sense of a structure, a cult. And in high school, we invented our own culture.

0:46.0

We actually passed the torch to the next generation and they dropped it.

0:53.2

I heard that our high school, which was the Earl of March in Canada, Ontario,

0:57.8

it was never quite as fun as when we were there. I know it sounds like I'm glorifying the past,

1:02.8

but I spoke to the next generation at that school. I remember when I was after I graduated.

1:07.8

They said, yeah, it's not really the same since you guys left. You guys were legend. And I'm sorry,

1:12.2

but we were legends, legends. And you can be a legend too. You just have to make up a bunch of stupid rules.

1:20.2

For example, if someone farts or burps and doesn't say safety and you say slut, you get to beat the

1:30.8

crap out of them until they can name five breakfast cereals that may ring a bell. Proud boys.

1:38.0

Actually, some people started memorizing breakfast cereals because they got beat up so much.

1:42.1

So we had to change it to chocolate bars. But it was rules like that that made high school super fun.

1:48.5

I mean, I hated high school because of the garbage we were taught. And it was so stupid. I remember

1:53.7

one test just writing on the test, Mr. Young. This is below you. It was some sort of quiz to see

2:00.8

if we had read the book. And what was the name of a veggies dog? And I thought, we're in high school now,
