Bam filled my childhood and teenage years with tons of laughs, there's nothing I'd like more for him than to see him happy and kickin ass at life again.
Genuinely, all of us - those who grew up on Viva la Bam, CKY, Jackass, etc - we need to back all of these dudes who created the youth culture we thrived in. They taught how to move in this world and when they popped onto the TV, many of us saw ourselves up there and it was inspiring (even for me, a Japanese kid born and raised in Maui, HI - we loved and vibes with all of it so much)
Facts.
Same I used to watch his stuff on mtv all the way through middle school back in the 2000s it was wild shit
im excited for it too man
couldnt agree more bro, he deserves the best. hes just caught up with life like the rest of us.
I hope Bam reads the comments and knows how loved he is by the fans and how much we are all rooting for him to be a success
Bam was my childhood hero! Go Bam!
Bam is not reading these comments🤣
@@Mannymanuelvilla I've heard so many comedians, actors say that can't stop reading the UA-cam comments on alot of different podcasts so I wouldn't be so sure
was just thinking that myself.
He’s a dh in real life man big time
It’s sad that Bam is so stuck in the past and isn’t able to move forward. I hope he makes it out of this.
@nedkelly3436 I was gonna argue that it's just his family genetics that makes him look so bad but honestly.. I stared at him for a good 30 seconds and realized you're not wrong
@@nedkelly3436 He' 43, but he looks like he's 55.
@@PsypherWolfit's called a party life ya genius
Can't blame him when the past is better than the present
@@RougeMaster Don't care, he still looks like hell.
Who ever thought Stevo would be one of the most reasonable and put together individuals in a room?
Yeah it's a trip.
In a room full of retards, the one with the glasses on seems like the smartest.
Getting old calms the most "wild" individuals amongst us.
He's not....
Bam looks rough
Steve O is a G. Been through recovery himself, and still standing behind his friend when he is on the right path. Solid AF.
Steveo always seemed to have bams back but refused to be an enabler. Probably because he knows enabling is the worst thing.
I mean..I’m a recovering addict, the first thing I understand, is that the pain and desperation (paired with the unfortunate incomparable and rewarding high) that my friends that are still struggling feel, is only one bad decision away. And on the very same hand, I recognize how hard it is to come out of all of that, and even TRY to hang with the real world.
The world sucks. It’s hard af to be sober out here.
@@Ride4Dime Agreed.
OG
Love that he has his boys back BAM PUT THEM ON THE MAP! Some people have forgotten that some people haven't funny what money will do. I don't know that as a recovering addict I could sit there and know I did drugs with somebody and they're struggling or they're clean and act like I'm better than them I'm not saying stevo did this but some others did for sure
The first thing Bam wants to do is relive old party memories with Steve. You can tell that was the best time of his life and once the party was over and everyone grew out of it he was just left standing there wishing he still had that rockstar lifestyle. It’s so obvious to see.
He just likes the excitement he was sober when he got famous for his home videos/skating and started drinking when he was 24 when he met the band him
It’s harsh. I don’t envy him.
I just think fame and a lot of money at a younge age fucked him up. He literally had a castle with all of him friends, lambos, woman, etc. probably hard to process not having all of that when you were the center of attention for so long. Rewatch the old videos of bam hes always been a spoiled ass kid
You guys are all wrong avout that.
Bam NEVER drunk or took that much drugs until 2010.
Hes just an drug addict seeking for the better times in his life THATS IT
@Dasha and that is what's frightening. An addict is always reliving a moment or trying to chase that first high. I've seen it so many times with family. And from what I seen it ends in a grave or them mental fried.
Steve-o’s extremely gentle but firm correction of Bam’s skewed worldview is peak love and brotherhood. Bam’s lucky he’s got someone like that in his life.
“I broke out to get an MRI and was forced to take a shot,” and then Steve pulled out the rest of the story where Bam got drunk and took ketamine at the strip club. “It’s bullshit I can’t see my kid,” and then Steve pulled out the rest of the story of Bam punching holes in walls/ having meltdowns and why CPS and Bam’s wife would have an issue with that. Always empathy-forward, but not letting Bam spin and wallow without accountability.
Steve-O is extremely socially adept in ways he doesn’t often get credit for and I appreciate the tough love he’s giving the Britney Spears of Jackass.
I so fuckin agree. I've never appreciated Steve as much as I have since this podcast started. He has SO much life expirience
It really is and it’s cool to see Steve O in a better place too so much so that he is helping Bam now
Steve-O's recovery speech is spot on. He's so elegant and respectful, while being honest. You can tell he's all in on recovery.
Fuck that I disagree, I feel like Steve-O is overly focused and hellbent on diagnosing Bam as an addict who is just as fucked up as he was and it’s obnoxious as hell, not to mention unhelpful.
@@dweebmcsweeney3343I thought that too. I don’t really know the lore of Bam but I had similar thoughts as your take based on how I interpreted Steveo when he talked about Bam.
But dude, if he was punching holes in the walls of his BM and kids’ house and he doesn’t know why he can’t see his kids, that’s unhinged. Sounds like he wasn’t holding himself accountable for things.
I LOVE how Steve-o wants to help Bam get to a good place in his life, esp as a father.
The day Bam stops living in the past, he can truly begin his future. He needs to take those stories and leave them stories, tell them without feeling like he needs to live them again.
Exactly!! Perfectly stated. As I mentioned earlier , all he is doing is romanticizing the past . He's gone !
@@wisdomseeker3362 hopefully he can find another healthy passion that isn't CKYish, skating, or drugs. Maybe painting, or real estate or something... Maybe he can get into grown up mode.
You can't"t heal in the place you got sick. Until he's out of the situations that he's in, he will not get better.
Ok guy anyone who had these kind of funny ass stories should tell them, you sound like a damn shrink
This hits me on a different level😮
The way Steve-o has matured and become a responsible, respected adult is so awesome. Super inspiring.
Whats your excuse?
@@davids.816 for?
She made a valid point so she doesn't need an excuse.
Well said, good luck to him and bam

I love that Steve-O is being honest and realistic with Bam, while also empathizing with him and understanding things from both sides.
@@alivingsoul9648huh?
@@alivingsoul9648yeah none of that happened, even remotely.
I have a friend like steveo. I am forever thankful for him
Keep that man close for life
Just seeing Bam talking and smiling again is such a huge moment for me and so many people I grew up with. Keep going brother. Don't let the demons win. You've inspired millions or maybe billions of people across the globe. We all love you...
I can see what you mean but if you've followed bam at all the last decade you have a handful of these upswing positive moments and they are usually followed by another downfall. I do hope he can just finally stay on solid ground this go around I want happiness for him but time will tell
@@modest1989 The super sad reality of addiction and mental issues. Obviously I want him to be happy, obviously I want nothing but good for the guy that gave me SO MANY LAUGHS over the years... But I know addiction, I know people who struggle with it. The only vibe I got from him was "When is my next handle or bag" . It's like they're not THERE.
He passed away today btw
@@hopkon yeah I mean you know these people have the internet and can fact check you real quick right
I love all my fans you guys are amazing
Steve-O is so good about not letting Bam live in his narrative. Bam needs friends like that to keep him on the right path. That said Bam is SOOO much better than we've seen him in any recent appearances. We're rooting for you, brother.
Bam can’t escape genetics and looks like Phil.
It's crazy how noticeably healthier Steve o was when they did I think jackass 3? His hair getting Grey and all that but you can tell he's healthier than he was befor.
@@TheBejohns5 what do you look like
Yeah I think Steves experience with his recovery really helps stand up to that stuff. He knows it takes realization to your own situation to get better.
I love how people think their perspective on life is always the correct one.
I’ve been a patient and an employee in these rehabs. Steve-o handled Bam beautifully as in a true friend who has walked that tightrope before. When someone needs help it’s such a balance between love and the reality of that person’s current state. I couldn’t stop watching. And I pray that Bam at least took SOMETHING out of that conversation/interaction. You got this BAM.
It is so heart warming to see Steve-O and Bam together.. every time they are it just feels nostalgic af.. I grew up laughing my ass off watching them.. wishing I could skate.. getting high, getting sober, I went through so much of the same shit and its just so good to know they are both still here with us.. I hope Bam finds true peace and success in his recovery. Much love guys 🖤
Unfortunately it didn’t age well (no joke) 😔
@@MegaMr46 I noticed 🥺
Maggie
Do you have a Facebook or Instagram?
Your comment is true because it speaks to those of us who were younger back then when jackass was huge. We copied them and had a blast doing it, then we see our friends have kids, get married, pursue careers and suddenly it comes to a stop. I empathise with bam because it happens to so many of us, just not on as big of a scale
Steve-o has been my favorite characters! Bam gotta get cleaner my boy 🤙
If Bam really put effort into staying sober and made a UA-cam/Rumble channel just being himself, being open about his past comedically and just being creative, he'd have a couple million subs in month. Comeback stories always work
It's a HAVE TO with guys like Bam you GOTTA come back.
Depends on who it is but I do hope that Bam gets his shit together.
Not a big fan of Jackass generally but I grew up watching it and he is likeable.
You say this like he hasn't got fame and money his problems shouldn't be put out n im pretty sure if he wanted to do this he would have hes not dumb just hurting
Can you imagine like a Radio Bam 2.0 on UA-cam?
I mean yeah look how well it worked for Steve-O. Got sober and immediately went on UA-cam and grew his channel.
You got this Bam! We're all behind you!
Bam doesn't have this.
@@BigKenobi I wish I didn't agree. He's had years to prove it and still hasn't. But I wish Bam the best of luck and all my love regardless
@@ChintzMusic Yeah I have my doubts
@@BigKenobi it’s called support, doctor. Relax.
How many GenZ kids think they're right all the time? Y'all need to be slapped around knock some sense in ya!
It’s beautiful to see Steve and his co hosts delicately break all of his stuff down for him without attacking….truly awesome.
“…when the Shaman took me to the hospital I had my fifth seizure…” this sums up the entire episode
Playing with demons will get you burnt every time
Man, we all need a friend like Steve O. He is so sweet, kind and caring yet honest. Stay sober Bam, he’s right. You can do anything you put your mind to.
Ha ya right he’s a troll
He's using his friends near death experience for views, what a kind hearted dude
Yess man!!! Be careful tying skateboarding into ur lifes success. ..truthful and honestly sincere . Bams for sure like got a lot to say and alot to let out like , but he's not crazy for wanting to get back into his skating and physical shape and it constantly getting hauled by himself or situations .. ...after a deep depression I mean like shutting the world out , indoor for days up at night.. there's so much thinking that goes on , that's all that goes on .. he got paid to be pretty much immature about everything.. he got game.. anything... I just hope for him , now, that he gets clean , stays clean and gets to a solid point for his daughter and parenting relationship. Imm hella rootin for him ,. This was very helpful... I'm in the same situations except not all the treatment and other issues... Depression is wild.. but he's gonna come back on top an show how good of a dude he is, and how happy without others seeing it he can be. Sorry I just felt ur comment and I am glad people like urself and can have a positive comment for a fella
@@Gdub-wd5mz you comment on every random video out there, your a bot and uneducated
Jackass number 5 for bam!
Love this man. We are all behind you Bam. You made our childhoods, we’ll always support you
That man is a sad human
You don't speak for everyone. To be clear, I'm not behind him.
@@DrJoonPark You don’t have to be, you have that right. I am speaking for those who do. When I say “we are all behind you” I mean the people who actually do support him.
Well said bro ✊️✊️
@@DrJoonPark then this comment isn’t for you, Matthew.
As someone still struggling with sobriety I’m seeing some of myself in Bam, I’ve never come close to the kind of partier that Bam or Steve-o were back in the day but just how difficult it is to really confront the problem and not try to skirt around it with humor really resonates. I get that this is a podcast and there needs to be some levity but I can relate to not wanting to even talk about the actual problem. Steve-o handles it like a boss and I truly do hope that Bam is trying to get better
Honestly, one of the best videos on the entire UA-cam. The content is on point, the ease and the elegance of how Steve handles the situation is just magnificent. Congratulations and keep up with the great work.
Ya its a shame bam threw away everything since this
I cannot applaud you enough for this one Steve-O. The way in which you gently handled the difficult topics, in such a balanced and respectful manner, whilst also gently guiding Bam to areas outside of his past glories to explore was the embodiment of empathy. A true friend who has been deep in the abyss and brought back the gifts of wisdom to share with another. Brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for sharing your journey with others in such a caring way.
Well said. I felt the same way
I came here to tell Steve O how proud I am of him for exactly what you just said. Steve O is being a real friend, and those friends should be treasured.
I get a weird undertone. But yeah ok
Beautifully said, he knows the mind of a addict/ recovering addict. Steve-o understands how to approach without walking on eggshells.To be honest, you're an addict until the day you die and will be a continuous struggle.
I was going to say the same thing but you put it much better than I could. Well said.
It's so sweet seeing Steve-O point out profoundly helpful life advice. Not tying his self esteem to skating, highlighting how much other things Bam can be and do. What a good friend.
It’s because he’s been there. That’s why recovering addicts are the best program runners, house managers and sponsors.
You need someone who’s been there before. Someone who sees thru your bullshit and tells you what you need to hear. Bam wanted to get back to what the world saw that was so special about him. And Steve is like no bro you’re a loving person, you’re so much more than that. I’ve seen it.
Bam starts telling a story that might notve been 100% true (because he didn’t want to look a certain way) and Steve, realizing what’s going on, immediately hops on board and changes the trajectory with truth and love.
@@Gir-Riff-raffe what's the timestamp for the story bam was telling?
@@ivanmeza7089 not necessary to time stamp. He was talking about how he ran off from rehab to get a MRI. Only to get picked up on the way to the hospital by fans he never met before and was forced to do a shot before they’d take him to get his broken arm looked at.
The story’s integrity isn’t really the issue. True or not, scapegoat or not, bams convinced it happened so it may as well be true right then and there. But it was a glimpse in his mind, that the world just sees him as a party animal, and Steve related very well with it and fought back by talking about anything BUT skateboarding.
VICE did a very warm mini doc on bam recently and his recovery has been all about skateboarding. Getting back to himself and his buddy of like 25 years just spent a whole hour saying you’re so much more than that.
And yeah, we were scared to death when he went on a ventilator with Covid related pneumonia because nobody ever lives thru it.
@@Gir-Riff-raffe It doesn't sound like he was "forced" to take that shot, especially when the story evolves into him taking multiple shots and a hit of ketamine. Then went with with them to party at a strip club and then crashed at their place. All of this before actually going to the hospital.
Why is it so common now for grown adults to just say the most cringe and inappropriate things they can for a laugh like life is a sitcom from the '90. And they always have kids..
I'm a psych nurse and have worked at several psych units. There are some workers who are absolute assholes. Some of them gaslight. I had one girl flipping out on an aide. The staff grabbed her and restrained her. I walked in to start my shift. She was great. She liked me because I just was friendly with her and if I asked her to relax she said I didn't come off as douchy. She would calm down. I walked in and asked her "what happened?" She says she was singing and dancing and then aide told her to stop acting "crazy". I turned to the aide and he said she lied. When I got his side it didn't make sense. I took off the restraints and she was cool. I gave her her meds and she was chill the entire shift. Some staff are absolutely gaslighters.
I normally didn't restrain because normally I could get patients if they're not completely psychotic to just chill. It's not a big deal. You just gotta show respect to the patients. That's all they're asking for.
Love
Sad to hear the news today that Bam is having more issues and is missing. I really
Hope he’s found soon and he hasn’t done anything silly to himself
Bam Margera has the talent and charisma to have to most gnarly UA-cam channel. Imagine the skate stories/clips, him promoting the skate community with pieces of up and coming skaters, then you’ve got his music, directing and stunt work to accompany all of that. I honestly wish the guy the best and he’s very lucky to have Steve-o as a friend
*had the talent and charisma….Aka past tense aka 2000-2008
@@briancarbonelli8978 I’d say he still does man, yes those were his prime years but with the right direction he’ll be fine
always "gnarly"
Lmao I’m just imagining Bam’s song “bend my dick to my ass” playing over clips of new skaters making their debut
Y’a. He could’ve made a fortune. Even Chris Rabb had a UA-cam thing goin.
Its so good to see Bam looking better. I really hope and wish he will become as clean as you SteveO. Can’t wait to see Bam on UA-cam creating content. You better not fuck this up Bam. We need you being free of alcohol and drugs.
Maybe he needs to come clean about his part in Ryan Dunn's death.
Maybe that would make him feel better.
It would totally make sense that he goes into a downward spiral if he was involved.
Much love to you guys. I’m 38, so I used to watch Jackass, plus a few friends and I saw the movie in theaters. I’m glad to see you guys still pushing and doing well. Bam is a great guy, and despite his flaws, he’s still great. Who doesn’t have flaws? I definitely do, so stay strong, enjoy life, and take it easy. ❤❤❤
Big love Stevo, big love Bam!!! Good luck with the rest of recovery we are all routing for you bro! Look forward to more Stevo X Bam content! 💙
I am really glad Steve was clear why his wife trying to take custody of the child was important. Bam is very stubborn and this is the first time I’ve seen him really acknowledge his fault.
Bam is the physical embodiment of 2000-2009. He made my entire childhood. WE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU BAM❤❤❤
You're underselling him, he was shredding the tampa street course and love Park in the early 90s!
He's the embodiment of the late 90s too! It's crazy how many people he influenced. Along with Jackass gang.
@@BLACULA-Skeewoah i’m well aware, but his popularity was at its peak in the early 2000s.
But he looks exactly like Phil!!!! He's acting like his early 20s, but looks like his pops.. ah I love him.. he was a huge influence on my teenage yrs.. so I hear ya..
Damn right!! Bam is the man!! I had 2 of his skateboard decks back in 2008 he was my #1 idol
Between Viva la bam and jackass and wild boys. My teenage years were that much more awesome because me and my group of friends didn't do anything but skate and ride fourwheelers and dirt bikes after school every day. No doubt the best days of my life so far. Memories forever. Love y'all
I always thought Bam was the coolest member of the Jackass crew when I was young, the antics with his parents, hilarious! It warms my heart to see him like this with his friend. Steve-O your good peeps
Love all of these guys.. soo happy and proud of the ones that have gotten clean in in their lives.. Steve O just WOW .. watching some of my family makes me so proud of how far they have come.. and I hope Bam finds his freedom from the chains that still bind him..
Hearing Steve talk about how much more than a skateboarder Bam is, that he's an amazing musician made me tear up. You can tell he loves him like family. I know Bam feels it. Good to see content like this.

He’ll be fiiiiiine
Did they find him?
Im honestly so proud of Steve-O, considering his journey along with Bam's, he's become such a roll model for me. My world is falling down around me and recently watched steve-o's documentary and it helped me find inspiration to not be so suicidal in my life! Even thou I suffer more from DEPRESSION and not substance abuse, Steve O's been through both and it gives hope to do the same for my life! I really hope Bam finds himself considering everything else that's been happening in the tabloids recently!
Bam was never the same after Ryan passed. And people are so quick to judge this man who literally put his body on the line for our entertainment. Rooting for you bam! We love you bro
Ryan passing is one thing but you have to live for your child not for the past
The pain of seeing your child grow up without you in like a thousand daggers in the heart. I think it can be challenging to stay strong and patient, do what you have to do in order to be there. I get it. I am rooting for him too. Saw him recently. He’s a good dude and he brought up his son a lot. He loves phoenix the sun. I pray that phoenixes mother shows some compassion too. He’s only human. He is his father. If I were his kid I would want to see my dad often. His dad is a legend.
@@blazed1945 he lost his best friend way before he became a father which lead to his addiction. Not a excuse just stating the obvious. Ryan was the glue that kept him together
@@salrodriguez8059 I hear you but I believe he was addicted way before that and Ryan would want him to sober up and be the best version of himself for his son.
@@salrodriguez8059 Why is this lie perpetuated? Bam literally admitted the problems stemmed from when he was young, copying Ville Valo, who was also an alcoholic. When you're in your 20s you get away with a lot, people only started calling Bam out as he got older because people don't give you the young & dumb pass, plus you start to 'wear' your addiction.
I love this interview, I love your friendship, and I love your Harry's endorsement/commercials... Super cute to watch & love the underlying grins throughout!
Bam you are a great person you can fight those demons! Be grateful that Steve-o never gave up on you! Steve-o is certainly understanding and a good friend! I wish you the best Bam ❤
Everybody needs a friend like SteveO he keeps it real with Bam. He’s not just all in on Bam’s side when Bam starts getting worked up about something SteveO steps in and puts things In perspective, that’s a true friend. Hope Bam keeps improving!
He had Bam on for the clicks (to feed his dozen Billy Mays style informercial breaks) not to help Bam, a real friend would have had the conversation privately not publicly.
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr Yeah, he had him on for the clicks, but if it wasn't for it and if Bam himself didn't sit with him on UA-cam, I wouldn't have known what happened, being on the other side of the planet. So thanks, Steve-O, for giving him a chance to again clear things out by himself.
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkErWho gives a fuck what they do, they're talking as friends. There is always people poking at people's lives like they know their relationship lol.
Steve O needs to stop treating Bam like a little kid though. Last time he was on here steveo kept treating Bam like Steve O is above him .
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr he's had a million private conversations with bam he's helped him heaps there's so much you can do to help someone bams been in a spiral for years he's always been there
I am rooting for Bam now more than ever. I believe he has a big heart and just needs the right people around him. I hope Steve-O can be someone he leans on. I wish all the love and happiness for Bam and his family and friends ❤️
I hope so too. However, it seems like from my perspective, that SteveO will keep an arms distance from anyone who may tempt him to fall off the wagon, and rightfully so. I watch that short clip with Steven and Mike Busey back stage and it just feels like Steve is suffering through the awkwardness while also not fully opening up- ultimately to protect his own sobriety. I see that with some of his guests as well, Aaron Carter is one that comes right to mind.
I say that to say, I hope Bam isn’t expecting to pick up the relationship where it was back in the “good” days, because I don’t think Steven is ready to fully open himself up for Bam. Im afraid if Bam is expecting that, and doesn’t receive it, that he could return to more self destructive behavior.
Of course, I don’t know either guy personally so this is just an armchair opinion, but I know what recovery takes, and I know how some of the oldest and strongest friendships can’t be rekindled safely.
Best of luck to both men on their continued recovery.
@@pepperedbeefjerkey2990 well said !! I agree

One of the only celebrities that I truly give a shit about
@@ianreed8640 I dislike the term celebrity for bam, but yeah... My tren years and CKY go hand in hand
It's more like the 8th glimpse of 'normal Bam' who has 'finally sober.' It's a tough battle and it never ends, but I hope this time he is able to overcome his addictions.
I agree he has a long way to go. He needs to develop emotional intelligence. Own up to some shit and learn from it. I hear a lot of blame coming from him but...yeah it's nice to hear him laughing and not sounding slurry. He sound coherent.
I think he's not got that far to go at all. Sometimes you're on the brink and you just can't see it. He be fine.
What I appreciate about this episode is that Steve-o can honestly relate to Bam. He’s speaking to him as a friend, not as someone giving him a lesson.
Certainly sounds like he's trying to school him to be. He's trying to tell him what happened to HIM. Good Lord. Pushing a narrative much.
And Stevo is probably one of the only people who could actually give him a lesson, but he knows himself that when friends become preachy like that, it doesn't help them
I love my fans
@@leaweston7969 Well...he's kind of a good example of where Bam could be if he wanted to. Sober, healthy, and still successful instead of sad, on death's door, and washed-up. Sounds like a healthy narrative.

I really wish everyone had at least one friend who is as good a friend to Bam as Steve-O.
This has to be the best episode as of yet! I'm sure there's gonna be more! Let's go Steve-O!
10 minutes and it already feels like night and day compared to his last one. Bam is lucid and funny, seems to be doing a lot better. Here's hoping he stays on the better side of life. Edit: Great episode. It gets a little heavy but there's a lot of laughing too, which, not to sound corny is quite literally the best medicine. I'm rooting for the guy.
Totally agree. Bam is still not 100% but he’s definitely getting better. I love that Steve is doing these podcasts with him because I think he probably understands more then anyone what he’s dealing with and most people aren’t willing to give you a chance
Probably because he's not on 15 medications
Bam is starting to look like his dad. I remember watching him on VHS tapes back in the CKY days. It was awesome seeing Bam & Steve-O together.
I was gonna comment this. He looks SO MUCH like his fuckin dad.
He's a combination of his dad and Don Vito
@@totalSLACK I do not.
@@totalSLACK I think he looks more like Britney Spears
@@bammargera6677 Love you, man. You shaped my teenage years for sure and I tried so hard to skate like you. Thanks for all of the incredible laughs and memories!
Hey Steavo, love your content and I'm also a recovering addict.. I think its cathartic to put a comedic stanse on our debacled living before our sobriety.. Its wonderful to see and hear Bam on the mend and hope sincerely he stays sober ❤ thanks.
Stevo is such a great friend to Bam. I hope he cN get through this
I can't explain the love I have for both of these guys. As a addict in recovery myself, Bam reminds me of the guy/girl from the local meeting that you just want to make it. You love him for some reason you can't put your finger on and you know if he pulls through this he can bring a lot of good to the world. Prayers up for Bam and everyone else with this disease that needs them!!
You love him because he's famous, if he was an ordinary guy you wouldn't give a shit.
Me too dude and I agree. Goodluck to you with everything and keep your head up.
@@fakiewilly thank you so much. Heads up is the only way to go anymore and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. All the same to you💯🙏
Yeah man, 11 years clean and sober here and I have watched these guys since I was 10 and truly feel the pain bam is going through right now. Steve, sober looks good on you, I'm proud of you! Bam, you got this.. fake it till you make it man. I truly lived by those words, and I tried everything under the sun. Program or not, 12 steps or not, the phrase alone.. one day at a time and fake it till you make it. Love you guys!
@@Addeatt absolutely amazing on 11 years, brother!! I just reached 7 months after 15 years of use and it's completely true that a person will not stop using until they are ready to stop using. You have to have had enough. And I agree with you about 12 steps or not, etc. Sobriety looks different for different people and that's okay. Keep it up man. Just know what an inspiration you and people like you with such solid clean time are to people like me who are still in our infancy. One second, minute and day at a time!!
So happy to see him!! Hope he is doing good 👍🏼 big love from Norway!!
yes norsk is on your side. love!
@@Yoghurtslave yes, alle the norsks
jAU!
Hei og hå
100% agree... greetings from germany!
Yooo bam, get well soon brother, struggling here too with drinking and its seeming to get worse man. Lets get thru this brother ❤
🔥❤️🔥 one of the best videos ever. I'm so friggin happy Bam is coming back. Get healthy brother. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. Health is the key Bros.❤️🔥🔥
I had absolutely nothing BUT smiles throughout this entire video. Seeing Steve O and Bam together and Bam is laughing/smiling warms my heart. Rooting for you Bam, you got this dude!! ❤❤🙌🏻
Absolutely. Great vibes
I love my fans
He relapsed with drinking not to long after this podcast. I really hope he can get it together he was a huge part of my teenage years and partly why I really committed to skating.

You won't be smiling after watching this :
ua-cam.com/video/YBGIqmZaMpY/v-deo.html
excellent intros every time this podcast feels like it could reach JRE type of levels. keep it up steve !
Steve O is a fantastic friend that will clearly go out of his way to help a friend most people don't even know what it's like to have a friend like that in Life...Bam is a lucky guy I hope he sees that...most people with addiction or depression issues are not cared about and are not given 1,000 chances..if I don't answer the phone a couple times people give up on me I wish I had a brotherhood like that... having a support system of family and friends is priceless especially where you have unlimited love...
Listening to Bam makes it pretty clear how much he lives to reminisce his younger years. It's kinda sad. This guy is gonna be forever 16 years old and he has a son that's missing out. I wish the best for him.
I get the same vibe... Not a good path to trade health for fame
He’s obviously still in the mental state, that he’s impressing people and being cool with his depressing pathetic downward spiral and party stories.
Tbh I don't blame him, he was on top of the world in the early 2000's
Depression is often living in the past, anxiety the future.
@@60secondpages That's absolutely true.
My son was a huge fan of Bam as a kid and I've watched what's been going on with him over the time Steve-o has been having pods about him. I'm glad he's currently sober. Steevo really has a gift for cutting through Bams story in his mind and bringing him gently into the real. He's an incredible friend. 🙏🏼 For Bam.
They’re both incredible for what they’ve overcome, and I agree. Steveo telling Bam his stories of going through rehabs and similar stuff was important, he understands. 🙏
Currently. I have my doubts.
@@johnedward8352 yeah. It's a really shaky pile of rocks Bam stands on. For sure.
Damn.. Steve really tried to give him solid advice and direction near the end. And he kept steering it back to helping him, truly like a friend would. Bam didn't seem open to the suggestions.
I can relate to the seizure part.. they are horrible. I am glad Bam is alive and we’ve all got your back! Addiction is horrible and don’t let the people who want you to do drugs and drink manipulate you. It’s not worth it and you’re gonna be an even bigger legend Bam ❤🤟 Love from Scotland
Also your son is very lucky to have you, you’re an amazing person
As an addict that's been around addicts all my life I'm afraid Bam still doesn't really get it. I wish him the best but you can see he still hasn't let go of being the wild party guy.
same dude I’ve been around addicts all my life and I am also an addict. unfortunately bam reminds me of the now older people who aren’t yet over it and it kinda shows. you can see Steve has really left that part behind him. I hope him & novak can really help bam out.
I don't know him personally at all. But following this story as I'm in recovery he's most certainly not ready.
Thats really whats going on here... he still don't get it. He' still got the same mentality of prime Bam. Honestly sad.
I surely didn’t need the full vid to conclude the same thing as you. I’m also a person with addictive personality and it takes years and years for some people, even maybe consequences and a lot more pain for someone to stop a self-destructive behaviour. Hopefully Bam get’s that sooner than later.
as a as a thats been around as a as a i as a as a
The way you talked about Bam's wife and brought up that her concerns are 100% valid was outstanding. This right here is a true friend! Someone that you can hang with, has your back, but calls you on your bs. Love it.
Not at all lol. He has no right to speak on anything between him and Nikki. Steveos just trying to get a catchy clip he can post. It’s gross how Steveo acts like he’s so much better than everyone.
@@johnnyk1499 I have no idea how you could get that from this video
@@pada443well if he was such a good friend he could bring it up after or before the podcast, not while the cameras are rolling
@@sethhawkins4152Bam brought it up, not Steve
Steve merely corrected him.
Hence "calling a friend out on his bullshit".
That's the only time TO do it.
He IS a good friend. One I WISH I had when I was an addict.
I tragically had a childhood friend who subsequently lost his life that Bam reminds me of 100%... The best years of his life according to him were over, yet still reliving them. His stories were about past stuff. His ego born from past popularity was out of control yet he was homeless and had nothing. It was sad, sadder to watch him unable to comprehend he wasn't that person. Later in life he died alone drunk on a bike path in the city... Heartbreaking
I met Bam in about 2008 or 2009 in NH. He was great. I only wish the best for him.
I love how Steveo holds Bam accountable
I hope Bam can keep on the right path. It isn't easy, but he's got so many people that can help him. Steve-O, you're a great friend.
I'm trying my best honestly I just want to keep my mind off things and just skateboard
@@bammargera6677 Let it make you stronger and better. Realizing your life is much better without it is the key. you truly are better off without it.
I pray One day we will see a podcast with ALL the og jackass crew together w/a proper segment/time reminiscing on the old days, Ryan Dunn, and encouraging eache others progress. 🙏
each*
@@sfelthamm douche*
And bring the new guys / guests too! I’d love to hear ALL the nitty gritty stories
Doubt it would happen.
Sweet! Just so unfortunate that a prayer does as much as nothing.
And i bet your god is pretty sick of you guys praying for bullshit
Steve-O seems like a really nice Guy nowadays. He only wants to show bam love and support. A good friend to have. I wish them all the best.
Being of all the meds you can see Bam is much more clear with EVERYTHING.. This video still shows a clearly broken man. Hopefully in time Bam finds his happiness, sober.. We love you Bam!
It takes awhile for your brain to go back to normal after getting off SSRIs and Adderall
Yes, he still gets super wrapped up in drama. You can just tell he is still dealing with allot of turmoil.
How do you know he's not on meds??
@@springday9418 Bam himself states it in the interview.
It’s so hard watching this interview. You can tell he’s hurting and he’s so close to making that one bad decision. The story of the people making him take shots just seems super dishonest.
Bam made millions of peoples lives better across the world, he deserves to be happy and healthy forever
Agreed
Viva la bam alone makes him one of the 2000s most influential people alongside guys like Kanye Kobe tony hawk Paul walker
Not only better, he has saved lives
Oh please yeah he's a real hero morbidly obese human dumpster fire
So because he's rich he deserve happiness?
I NEVER KNEW HOW HAPPY SEEING BAM AND STEVO TALKING AGAIN WOULD MAKE ME!!!😆😁🤘🤘
It's so sad to see the pain all over bams face you can see he's suffering and totally lost.
I really hope he finds what ever it is that will make him happy.
Honestly, I noticed the pain in Steve's face more. You can feel how much he wants Bam to improve through the screen.
he hasn’t gotten honest about his pain. he’s not working the program
What happened to him?🤔
@@eugeniosabater8449 He started to fall off the wagon because hes a bit manic, and chasing the high the mania gave him. Then his best friend died which pushed him further off the wagon. Then he finally gets back on the wagon, gets injured, gets put on a bunch of drugs that push him back off the wagon, then a Doc says he will never skate again which is pretty much the only thing Bam has truly with all his hear cared about(he talks about it in this video a little bit, but it was after this video came out they said he would probably never skate again), right after going through rehab hell of them sending him from one to another. He's been back on the wagon for about half a year now. Has been getting physical therapy from his girlfriend and is skating again.
@@eugeniosabater8449 He talks about all of what I said in my other comment in the time for pie podcast
That's the best Bam has sounded in years, I hope he can find his place in the world and fully embrace sobriety. We need him around, he was a huge part of my childhood and I was pretty sad that he was barely in the last Jackass film. Keep up the good work we believe in you!
He does sound really happy ❤️
Please watch The Surprise Witness...Steve O is evil and and Bam is not Benefitting from this.
Bring on BJ from The Surprise Witness.
What you afraid of, Steve??
Why you deleting my comments? What U hiding? What U afraid of???
#freebam
I just watched it and I don't recall seeing Bam at all.
@@contraband1543 ua-cam.com/video/YBGIqmZaMpY/v-deo.html
@@contraband1543 He slams during the marching band treadmill bit.
Protect Bam at all cost! For many of us including me, he's a living breathing childhood memories. I'm glad Bam is in the right place
Protect me if you're my true fans
@chad stengel my childhood this my child hood that. Sheesh give me a break already
Lol you shut Chad up real quick bam 😅
Watching this 7 months later I hope Bam is still doing well and is in a good place. Jackass was a huge part of my teens and I still watch the show as a 39 year old. Loved Wild Boyz and Viva La Bam too. It is great seeing these guys living well
Bam, you got so many of us through our dark times... all i can say is when you don't think there is anyone who cares, there is a world of people out there who owe that next day they made it to, to you. We are here for you, and will always support and hope the best for you my friend. hang in there!
Bam has lived a life of instant gratification, the past 20+ years. That’s what made Bam. Anything he wanted, he could have. Money wasn’t an issue. That’s where his biggest issue is. The fact that he has to put a lifetime of work into sobriety. He can’t buy sobriety, he can’t prank Don Vito or Phil into getting it, he can’t call up MTV. He has to 100% do it on his own, and it’s a lifetime battle. I truly believe if there was a magic way to make Bam sober, he’d take it in a second. I believe he wants that, but he doesn’t want the journey to get it.
Bam may not want the journey but he needs it he’s gonna wind up dead sooner or later. Steve-o was right when he said the best thing for him at this point might be jail time.
Well said
No one does.... wth??
@@RobertELee420Correct... but he doesn't know how to put the work in... moreover from just "not wanting" to do it. He has ZERO coping skills at middle age.
Best comment. Bang on.
Steve-O is one hell of a friend, the amount he’s changed and now wants the same for his friends is amazing
Lmao
@@jasenvorheees282?
He is completely taking advantage of Bam just like all those mf involved in the whole guardianship. He's not a genuine friend, he's an opportunist who gives a shit about Bam and is only in there for the clout.
@@springday9418 wrong dude. Calm down. Stop watching him if he's such an opportunist
He's one of the only Jackass crew guys that actually give a shit about Bam
Bam, been following you since before CKY. That person event or traumatic experiences are not the reasons you're this way. You are not your dysfunction. You're trying to fill in an empty void in a world that doesn't understand how to intervene or how to help, regardless of how well anyone thinks they know you. You need to acknowledge this. Once you realize this, it is only you who can save yourself, you'll come to terms with acceptance and begin healing before it's too late. The healing is the best part. You can find it anywhere within yourself and be renewed. Stay alive Bam.
I live in bend Oregon!! Are you talking about the Deschutes? That is such a beautiful place! I paddle board it and our lakes all summer!!!
This warmed my heart, man. It's so good to see Bam doing well and getting healthy. Thank you Steve O for being such a good friend and so supportive. Everybody needs a friend like you!
Bam does make a point about antidepressants having side effects that just make depression worse. Glad to hear him back on his feet. Love you bro!
Yes!!! Holy shit yes
bruh if he was on half the stuff he said they were giving him then I'm surprised his brain wasn't melted the rest of the way. I actually can't even believe the slew of medications they're describing is something they give to someone who's rehabilitating from substance abuse problems. This world they went through is some kind of dystopian horror movie. It might even be less surprising that Bam survived through over a decade of pickling himself in Alcohol and Amphetamine salts than surviving a year in the modern rehab system.
@@corneliusthecrowtamer1937 I feel you. As someone who’s been in rehab myself, I’ve been on pretty much all those meds too. “Recovery” sanctioned drugs. The hypocrisy in that is insane
@@sevenfold089 Well Alcohol withdrawal is definitely no joke, and Depakote makes sense (aside from the possible liver toxicity bit) but it starts to sound like an insurance scam when people describe being completely loaded the whole time they're in "rehab". Mental health diagnoses aside, the drugs are just supposed to be there to manage withdrawal symptoms that could be unsafe.
@@corneliusthecrowtamer1937 I agree with that, but they get you hooked on this stuff and keep prescribing it long after it’s really needed. It’s a for profit system we live in
I really hope Bam get's through everything tough he's going through and makes it out to other side truly happy and content.
These dudes were a huge part of my life growing up. You guys rock🤙
Man I HATE so bad, that Bam is Havin such a rough time. I grew up loving this guy and his videos and music and everything. I hope he realizes how much the world enjoys him, and gets his act together.
thats the problem right there. getting right has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WORLD AND PEOPLE OTHER THAN BAM. its the total opposite to what u said in order to get right and sober. to stop caring what other people think and do whats right for him. it will never happen tho because he has a hell of a alot of entitlement and is addicted to instant self gratification and hedonism.
What I really liked about this interview is that Steve-O didn't let Bam off the hook for the custody stuff. But I also really appreciated that Bam seemed comfortable laughing at himself and some of his past mistakes. This was a fun video to watch despite how heavy the material is.
I 100% wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for watching Bam in my formative years. He looks and sounds genuinely better lately, which makes me mega happy.
Bam is that weird friend you used to get loaded with who never grew up and just talks about stuff that happened like 15 years ago and cracks unfunny jokes and makes you super uncomfortable the whole time.
He's had money since he was young so he's never had to grow up. He almost has a full grey beard but carries himself like he's still in high school.
If you think bam is bad then you should look into Pauly shore. That dude had an absolute meltdown at his 40th birthday party. Fame, money and being extremely sheltered fucked him up hard.
He never grew at all but everyone else did.
It’s ADHD. Y’all are rude.
Except they are all very famous.
Everyone loves to celebrate someone’s downfall but know the real fans have been rooting for you the whole time Bam. You were a crucial part of us 90s babies childhoods. Grew up on CKY and my first deck was a Bam “HIM” Element…we can’t wait for your comeback 💪🏾
I love Bam and hope he lives a long and happy life. Its painful to see him become more "Phil" like but its mainly a reminder I'm become more like my dad lol
@@AlexSterk I don’t think it’s painful, it’s kinda sweet. Bam is a dad. Phil is a good man. Bam’s gonna be okay.
@@sheridan7475 yeah seems his head is finally on straight, more so then ever before. Becoming our fathers is inevitable lol
Do you remember when he ironed hamburgers onto Phil's clothes? I honestly think that was the most tame prank he's done, also when his mom April discovered an alligator in the kitchen.
@@raziele92 🤣🤣 fuck yeah. Definitely some of the best
You guys are FN legends. Great content. A reality vlog of Bam's recovery and journey to a healthy fit mind and body would be epic. He needs a good group supporting him like the people Steve-O has found. Hope he makes it.
Steve-O's last comments in this episode were truly so impactful. I wish Bam could understand that all of his fans appreciate his creativity as an artist and that skating is just one party of why we all love him and want to see him successful.
Seeing him laugh and smile again is such a joy to see.
