I agree, for his kiddo for sure, sheeet, I wish he’d get his life together because I miss the old Bam. I was in awe of him during his CKY days, talented film maker, good looking, could street skate with the best of them, excellent music taste, he had it all. That opening to CKY2K with Rammstein’s Du Hast, it hit so hard!

sadly sometimes its the brightest stars that burn out the quickest :( its still not over for Bam yet, if he can conquer his demons he will come back an even better version we ever seen. SteveO is doing so well now, I listen to his podcast and get a lot of positive thoughts and healthy spiritual mindset from the conversations. I would have never guessed the craziest dude from Jackass would turn his life around become the most positive, happy, and healthy one of the whole lot. He is trying his best to help Bam but at the end of the day there is only one person who can help him and that is himself. I hope he can turn his life around. He has a healthy happy kid to live for and needs to be there for him

Big fan of SteveO’s podcast as well! You know who else is doing well, you probably do, but Brandon Novak. It’s amazing what he’s done for himself in regards to his recovery and establishing success in life. The guy was prostituting himself for heroin at one point. So proud of Novak!

yeah he was more lost than SteveO at his rock bottom back then but came out of it. One thing that made me sad was watching a clip of Ryan Dunn yelling at Novak for buying dope in Philly and coming back from using in the woods, this was filmed in Bams garage I think. Heroin is an evil dangerous drug but alcohol is no safer. Watching and an alcoholic yell at a junkie only to know that the junkie will survive and the alcoholic will die a couple years later made me sad. if only society treated the liquor with the respect it deserves and not like a trivial fun toy to mindlessly enjoy Ryan Dunn might have been alive. I used to drink and drive and even drink and crash back in my days so I am not judging Ryan but I just wish he focused on his own demons instead of trying to fix Novak problems back then

I couldn’t agree with you more, on everything you said, and I know that scene you’re talking about, it hit me in the feels too, watching Dunn lay into Novak the way he did. I know they were tying to help him but there was a lot of projecting going on and Novak was the low hanging fruit. Strange how it worked it out, with SteveO and Novak climbing out of the river of deceit (Mad Season reference😉) and Bam, Dunn and so many others being swept away by it.
