Again.

Well, you know, there is a way to do it, and a is to do it as you've got to have a scrubber on there. That just eats up all your profits. So you're your providing energy to the consumer, and you're burning coal to do it, but there's no profit in it. You've spent it all on your scrubbers. Now, if there's a company that's doing coal out there, willing to do that, to go out there and spend all the money so that it's clean, still in business for the consumer, but any profit that's out of it goes to keeping the scrubbers going. I think it could be feasible. Because a lot of countries need power. And in nuclear power, scarcity, yo about it? I well, i'm not. I'm mixed on it. Germany has removed all of the nuclear plan we've got, but we have a leading environmental a cause advocate, bobby kennedy junior, saying, you know, nuclear, ea, choice. We do have it in canada. We've never had an accident. A three mile island was an interesting occurrence. Then fukoshimu, pretty bad. Ternoble, you know, you had cows dying in or and from. Pretty bad.

But imean an michael's college, university of toronto. Once lawrene i was i went and went to the c b c withit with a friend of mineartner, valery bromfield. And we went together. We had some written, some material as a team, and we got a cable show in in ottawa. O my belief that any ted person, if ye stay in cannib eventually get a show, a government monsack sadthat we were looking f government sponsor show. We showed him our we had a show called change for a quarter. It was 15 minutes of comedy. We brought the tape in. It had a handle on it was a full inch wide video tape, like the size of it was a foot as a full inch wide at a handle, that's so big. So we brought that in andte showed it to a few executives, and they said, ell, you know, it's not really our kind of thing here on this floor, but downstairs, there are a couple of guys putting together a new comedy thing. And it's new people, and it's young, the lorn michaels and hart pomerant. So we got an interview, and lorn hired valery and i for a summer t v special called the great canadian humor test. So in 19 69, i was not still, i still wasn't out of college. I was still at carlton. He hired me that summer to play old men, basically. I don't think in one character was over, you know, it was under forty. So what was your impression of him? Like it immediately, loved him, immediately. Ther brilliance, the wit, the fun, the sense of being guided by a true mentor with massive knowledge of, you know, the t v comedies of the fiftyn o of the of and of the catskill. Andwhat was der like? Hart was funny. He was a lawyer. He was funny. And lorn had shoulder length hair and antisopata moustacheha, and hart was and they did an act together, and one of their components was the great canadian humor test r and valery and i were on there. So that's when i met him. Then a couple of years later, i'd been at second city. And, ah, you are at second city. I was at second city, toronto. Y 70, 71, 72. Who is the crew? Ah, radnor, yes. A candy ye o'harae leve. Jerry salzburg as brilliant. Rosemary radcliffe. Martin short was in around there with the god spell kids, cond city and god spell kids. And so ther kids from god spell kind of migrated over to second city. And that was the first production it, god spell. It was pretty famous. Ye, yes, that's well. Now, when i met those kids, i was driving a mail truck, and i was on the radio at city t v. Wen lorne got me that job as well. He did, but you weren't working for him? Ah, not, not, not at that point. We'll e doing on the radio. I was a shot box announcer. You non' doin like a fast, a fast rap kind of announcing. You know, its ta's part of your blood. It was. I worked for moses neimer at city t v. I was a game show announcernd, a commercial in 69, a 70, up 71. And then i drove across country in 70 too, in my slush six, shevy biscane. And we drove from trona to new orleans to tawana er who my friend john de vikes, the artist who designed all the ghost buster stuff. Oh, yes, till around he's still around, the viking s goot. We drove across, and we stopped in l a. And lorn put us up at, i at the shuto marma. And he was acting e writing for billy tomlin andand an litly tomlinand anda laughin. And he said, dan, i'm going to, i'm going to re invent the live television of the e. Put you up at the chateau. He put me up in his room and tad prophecanwe we were there, john and i wanted to do a coldgate comedy hour and the sid caesar show. And he was abe, he was going to recreate it in new york on stage where they did it, and he was going to do alive. And he was real smarthe, when they offered him a pile, he said, no, no. I want to do seven. And he said, you were in no, not exactly, nelson. He said, i wanted know, just telling me about the concept, and i'll sort of, i call you then i did. I did have to addition a couple of times i was not accepted right away. I did have to adea even though i knew im and i had a history. I think part of the problem was that boluci and i had met, and we'd already formed like the blues brothers and wato yeur ideas. We met at my five five club. Tha little speak easy. I had yehat a speakn easy. I had an after hour's club. And werono in toronto. Five o five.
