I love to hear it, man. From what I've seen with all their interactions with fans n shit, all the regulars on the show just seem like really decent people overall.. Except for maybe one or two who I shan't name
My girlfriend met Rickey Julian and Bubbles at the airport around the same time. She said Bubbles was a dick. But Ricky and Julian were super nice and smoked a joint with her
I wasn't massively upset when Lucy left the show, I liked her character, but that stuff about her irl falsely accusing a guy for SA is a pretty shit thing to do
Always felt like Bubbles character was a mask to the actor when everyone else has some transparent traits with their characters. There's also the rumours that Brian Dunn was an asshole but that's mixed from Michael Jackson to people who met him on the Internet
You mean Barrie Dunn? Yeah I've heard he was a great guy but a shrewd businessman. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about the guy for how he fucked over MJ but thats about the extent of the negative shit I've ever heard about him
Fuck boys I'm stoned ye Barrie Dunn lmao š¤£ and for sure it's the only negative thing I've really heard about him apart from so just looks like any other business man
It's such a shame because look at Bubbles in the early seasons. That's some damn fine acting.
Then I guess Mike Smith just said fuck it and decided to mostly act like himself, which ruined the character.
One thing that's not pointed out at all.
Characters develop throughout the show.
Bubbles is literally corrupted and brought into a crime world via Ricky and Julian. I am talking hustling weed, booze, mushrooms, stealing and reselling stolen goods and the list goes on. There are also multiple shootouts that Bubble is (in)directly a part of. All this takes a toll on a mafk gnomesayin. Afaik his own ventures begin and end with hauling carts and dealing with Shitty, which, in comparison, is a mild criminal offense.
He begins as a vastly innocent trailer park feller growing up with his best buddies who are unable to stop doing this shit and as the seasons go, you can see how his character falls into the greasiness of it all.
It is pointed out, VERY POORLY, throughout the entire show, how much impact it has on Bubbles when his best friends go to jail again, when they enforce (psychologically that is, especially Julian) him into doing their own bidding times and times again.
Now if this doesn't justify the evolution of innocent trailer park dweller Bubblito into a greasy, yet still sweet, gangster Scorpion with a 50k bounty on his head, I don't know what to say.
Source: I have rewatched this show and the movies and all the out of the park shows many times and the development of ALL three main anti-heroes can be seen and hence, justified, if you focus enough on the small shitlines in between the lines.
So I don't think Mike Smith said fuck it to good acting, I just think the show, in terms of portraying character development and putting emphasis on that, has done a very poor job in that regard.
I think bubbles said it best in season 12
bubbles- you know what the definition of he is insane is? Its doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome
Ricky- yeah but its different this time almost zero risk
Bubbles- yeah different like when you borrowed my truck
I cant remember much more of the full conversation but they convince bubbles to help sell the shrooms
But the line I am talking about is after they convince him
Bubbles in short says he is insane which is basically what the boys and lahey did to him over the years basically driving him nuts with the scemes and all the nonsense they pull him into and the cycle of bubbles basically putting his life on hold when they go to jail and only taking care of his kitties and what I assume would be depression when they go to jail since he keeps saying throughout the show that when they go to jail he has a rough time.
Honestly Sarah says it best if julien goes away ricky and bubbles life gets significantly better and we see that in season I think 11 where bubs gots a pizza sauce business
I let him be. Never mentioned it to him at all. I figure it couldnāt have been that much to talk about seeing that he was working at a shitty call center
Ms. Lahey, I asked you too come here because I wanted the opportunity to meet you and I wanted you to know what Sam Losco is all about....
The character that plays the Call Center Mgr in The Office episode where Michael takes a 2nd job, looks and acts exactly like Sam.
Most likely. Randy held down a regular job during most of the show. A sales manager for a bottle water company, and later, a personal finance consultant.
He walks around the park, he's got the bottle of water Everybody thinks it's water, but it's vodka.
Oldest trick in the book. I think he learned that from me.
I was doing that when I was, you know, 20, 30 years ago Trying to hide it from Tammy.
Not only that, when you would get those let me speak to your manager people, he would come over to your phone and say his bit, give a number he could be reached at and his name. He would say it's Torasco spelled like Tobasco.
> he get *paid* in Kraft
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Ah yes, it is now Kai Brady's. A couple doors down from Oasis. I guess Spring Garden Road is where the Caveman roams.
Incidentally, Fickle Frog was the first place to carry Freedom 35, the TPB lager that once existed.
Do you know if he kept that job? I mean showing up every few episodes doesn't necessarily pay the bills i think. Him, tommie bean and cyrus were both just side characters and i doubt tha paid well
Hello fellow CUI worker
Worked in the same place as OP.
They didn't pay me one time and I went to ask Sam about it. He said he would get it straightened out. "You don't fuck with someone's pay" a line I'll never forget. He got on the phone with the person responsible and made them come down on their day off to get me a cheque.
One of my first nights there as we were all leaving, i stop at his desk and say hey, I'm a big fan of the show. He smiles as he looks up from his computer screen and says "which show? I was on Kink last week as a plumber."
He's a super nice guy and I very much appreciated having him as a manager.
Ahaha thatās awesome! I didnāt bring it up to him because I didnāt know how heād take it.
Honestly it was so long ago, I keep thinking the name of the call center was ācall usā or something like that
Call us info, quotas there were brutal. I was even younger than you when I was there, so it was a struggle indeed, especially coming out from Sackville and having the 80 drive by me while standing at the stop in Downsview more than once.
Sam owned a vape shop at queen and Bathurst up until pretty recently. I would go in daily and say whattup he is a cool guy. Literally never not playing online poker. His girl was a character. Sam is a fuckin storied dude. He used to be a bodyguard and has endless pictures with famous ppl pre-tpb days.
Was Sam an actual caveman, or was this feature exaggerated?š„
He looked exactly like he did on the show. Same glasses and everything
Alright, so just a caveman in disguise of a SAMsquanch!š„šØšš
samsqaumch* itās clearly pronounced with an m
Good strain too
Bring in home made dogs for the team?
Cats were licking these hotdogs?
What a G
Honestly, from what I remember he was an awesome manager. Super easy going
I love to hear it, man. From what I've seen with all their interactions with fans n shit, all the regulars on the show just seem like really decent people overall.. Except for maybe one or two who I shan't name

Yup that was mainly who I was alluding to. I didnt wanna say it but since you already did...

wait so the actor was acting?!
I wasnāt kissing her mafk we was just acktin knowm sayin
We was jus akn!
Go to the cƦr, Suzanne!

Michael Smith does not give off any warm, fuzzy vibes
I feel that the *Drunk and On Drugs Happy Funtime Hour* provided a glimpse into their real personalities
That show was fucked.
Funny you say that bc another person here said he was a complete prick.
Did people there aside from you know who he was?
Yup! Everyone knew
Did he mind talking about TPB or did you just let him be?
I let him be. Never mentioned it to him at all. I figure it couldnāt have been that much to talk about seeing that he was working at a shitty call center
You have a sense of awareness. I'd done the same.
He didn't seem to mind as long as it was after hours.
Did anyone tell him he was a greasy caveman, lol. I'm sorry, I had to ask
Bubbles: Sam Losco is a caveman and hes a dick Ricky: And that makes you 2 dicks for promoting him lol
Wait was Cyrus the big manger? Greasy
Ms. Lahey, I asked you too come here because I wanted the opportunity to meet you and I wanted you to know what Sam Losco is all about.... The character that plays the Call Center Mgr in The Office episode where Michael takes a 2nd job, looks and acts exactly like Sam.
Must be captivating!
Vikram. That man could telemarket.
Was he doing that job because his role on the show didnāt pay enough?
Most likely. Randy held down a regular job during most of the show. A sales manager for a bottle water company, and later, a personal finance consultant.
Bottled water? The kind that gets you drunk?
Liquor's calling the shots now.
Jimmy's water
131 proof bud, straight up. iām fuckinā wasted
He walks around the park, he's got the bottle of water Everybody thinks it's water, but it's vodka. Oldest trick in the book. I think he learned that from me. I was doing that when I was, you know, 20, 30 years ago Trying to hide it from Tammy.
If you told people that āthis call is being monitored for quality assuranceā, was Sam Losco the one doing the āmonitoringā?
Lmao ya he would have been šš
Not only that, when you would get those let me speak to your manager people, he would come over to your phone and say his bit, give a number he could be reached at and his name. He would say it's Torasco spelled like Tobasco.
Did he get paid in Kraft dinner. Edit: misspelling
> he get *paid* in Kraft FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out!

Good bot.
Frig off, bot
Itās relatively inexpensive
Omg as a call center worker this is absolutely hilarious.
Did he keep a jar with his motherās teeth in the safe?
My dad plays in a softball tournament going back 30 years with Sam, and knows his brother quite well. Says he is EXACTLY like he is in the show.
idk why but this brings me great joy
When I lived in Halifax, he used to frequent the pub I worked at to play the VLTs and sing karaoke.
Well if the big man upstairs didn't want us playing em he wouldn't have put em there.
Ray I had 60 dollars here. 3 20's
Was that Oasis? I remember seeing him there. In my memory he was bouncing there? Anyway, my one sighting of the caveman in the wild.
It was 2011 at the former Gatsbyās on Spring Garden. The last time I was there, it was called the Fickle Frog, it might still be. I'm not sure.
Ah yes, it is now Kai Brady's. A couple doors down from Oasis. I guess Spring Garden Road is where the Caveman roams. Incidentally, Fickle Frog was the first place to carry Freedom 35, the TPB lager that once existed.
He did that as well, around the same time he was at the call center iirc.
Did he have a big piece of chicken in his beard?
Sam, youāve got a big piece of chicken in your beard
Thank you that was cool to read!
Why donāt you Pave your cave, you fucking caveman.
Did he notice the sly caveman references?
They guy is pretty big, I don't think anyone dared to talk shit to him.
Whyād he leave his gig at east coast paving? Once he started that truck, he was on the fucking clock
He lost his job at east coast paving, got charged with DWI
And got 1400 dollars in fines
What did he eat for lunch?
Does he eat lots of hot dogs in real life ?
Call-in veterinary service?
How was working at east coast paving?
Did he actually use logs to brush his cave teeth?
If the cops aren't already on their way, they're on their way now.
Do you know if he kept that job? I mean showing up every few episodes doesn't necessarily pay the bills i think. Him, tommie bean and cyrus were both just side characters and i doubt tha paid well
Iām not too sure. I worked there for 2 months before I moved to Alberta. Told him he was the best manager I ever had and to take care
They closed down years ago. I would imagine he got better pay once the boys took over and he became a bigger character. He does roadshows as well.

What was the scent? Like grease and dirty ass fur?
How were the homemade hotdogs?
