I just watched the final episode of the Trailer Park Boy’s cartoon show. I admit
I watched it twice I was cracking up so hard I could not hear the TV. How cool
is it to be Robb Wells (Ricky) favorite band and be mentioned all through
previous TV shows?
The “boys” have always been good to me-ever since I flew out to Dartmouth to watch
them film the episode “I think you pissed yourself Mr. Layhee”. Since then we’ve
toured western Canada together, I’ve been in “Countdown to Liquor Day” alongside
Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, been interviewed for their internet show SWEARNET,
and now I’m in their cartoon show. They always take good care of me. Not only are
they funny guys they are upstanding human beings, giving a lot of their money to
charity each year.

Please tell us any cool Trailer Park Boy’s stories on meeting them, appearing
on the show etc...
When the episode “Closer to the Heart” came out my phone started ringing off the
hook from people who had seen the show. I contacted Mike Clattenburg, who at
that time was the director of the show, and we started an email friendship. He was
a big Helix fan (as were the rest of the guys). I asked Mike if I flew to Dartmouth on
my own dime if I could come watch them film, as I had never seen a TV show being
filmed before. He told me, “No problem”, so I booked my flight and off I went. They
sent a limo to pick me up at the airport and take me to the set where I was shocked
at the fact that they were as much in awe of me as I was of them. Two days later,
when I went to leave, they shuttled me to the airport once again to fly home. For
some reason I decided to check my luggage. Good thing, because as a joke they
had stuffed a 14” tinfoil penis in it. The girls at airport security got a big laugh out
of that. One last note: It was me who got Sebastian Bach on the show. I ran into
Sebastian at Sweden Rock and he asked me to ask the guys if he could be on the
show. I passed the request on to Mike Clattenburg, who at the time I don’t believe
knew who Sebastian Bach was. Eventually they caught onto the fact however and
Baz ended up in several episodes.
