A real friend is that the last thing he wants a good friend, not to mention a someone who made him famous in jail! Steve is a Hollywood backstabber doing whatever it takes to get views. He's got an insane superiority complex to the degree he thinks he's moral enough to dictate lives. Sickening
As I’ve said to others in this comment section, I have the utmost respect for people who have struggled with addiction and found their way again. It takes the strongest type of person imaginable. I hope you’re doing well.
funny you say that because the thought of bam and what he deals with as a deterrent for myself to continue being sober 7 years later. he shouldn’t have ever been kicked out of jackass and steve is the sober czar to pretend to care about bam is sickening
The worst part in all this is that bam has a young child and still refuses to grow up. Losing a best friend is hard but he cant use that excuse for the rest of his life. Hes gotta do better for himself and his family.
It's not just losing Ryan Dunn, he also lost his grandma “Mum-mum” and his uncle Vincent “Don Vito” in that same time period. In that recent interview the Margera family did, they painted the picture about how much Mum-mum and Vito are missed. Yes, I know Vito was a sex offender, but he also was a brother, an uncle a son, there were people who loved him.
@@kaaskaaskaaskaas Pretty much hit the nail on the head. I was a heavy drinker at like 23, just day drinkin on my weekends with no responsibilities, and during that time my Cousin killed himself and my grandpa had died from lung cancer within a year of eachother and it sent me from just a kid drinking to have fun to a kid drinking to escape. Im 28 now and havent commited to full sobriety (I have a pretty strong mind and honestly i enjoy whiskey and other drinks) but it has take a while to get to a point where i feel comfortable to being shit faced all the time.
you know we’re in a hell of a multiverse when it’s steveo the one that’s completely healthy and bam the one losing it. godspeed to u steve, so glad to see you doing good!
You need to smoke it constantly, it was like a couple hours talk. Makes no sense. He was most likely drunk as was said but it is what it is, it's bonkers to talk about setting up a situation where Bam would get into jail for meth... It's like if rehab doesn't work then why would jail. Sure let's stop cold turkey all of the drugs he has been but on and has a problem. Like at this point this crazy intervening is just causing trauma. Let him do what he does with his money, life and house. I feel like everyone should be out of his life including the relatives. He get's sober if he does, if doesn't then he doesn't. It's that simple. You cannot Force sobriety by guantamo baying someone for it. It's even more messed up when talking about setting it up to happen.
Yea its absurd that people find out a thing a person has done and run with it, precariously placing it onto the person in every story they tell. The worst way to "make" someone get help is to trash them with talk, ghost em, and all the tough love mumbo jumbo that leaves that person feeling abandoned forcing them to feel there is nothing left to loose resulting in the most tragic outcome for most!
Going to jail and almost losing everything was the best thing that ever happened to me. As someone like many of us who grew up with you guys I truly hope Bam pulls through. I know he’s miserable too
@@macysondheim i hope you deal with something like that, then come back to this comment and say it doesn’t count. You feel better after shitting on a person working on getting sober?
You’re the biggest reason I got sober brother. In 2015 I got arrested for my second dui in Pennsylvania. I had already lost my family and I felt like I had nothing left to lose. I got sentenced to 1 year of probation and 6months of ARD. I didn’t take any of it seriously. I remember going to the ARD classes with a beer buzz tied on thinking I had everyone fooled…I did it for the first month, drinking and sitting in these meetings thinking I was better than everyone. I was lost man and so angry. I remember hearing about your sobriety and thinking WHAT A PUSSY he will never make it meanwhile, I was suffering the whole time. I continued to drink and lie through sobriety until one day, a dude came in and told his story so similar to mine and yours. And he brought you up. He was like… fuck man the first time I saw a clean spoon without a burn Mark on it was when I got my first apartment and I was like damn what would Stevie do?? Then he talked about your recovery and how he grew up watching you and how it helped him. That’s when I started watching your videos and seeing what you do man. It changed my life. I know you’ll probably never read this or ever hear this but you saved me. I’m grateful to be able to laugh and watch you grow. It breaks my heart about bam because he grew up 3 hours from me. My mom and his mom used to hang out. I always looked up to him. But honestly man you’re the one I look up to now! And I hope bam can be where we are. Again I’m Sorry for rambling, I don’t normally do this shit on here. But this hit me. Being 4 years clean having a little girl I’m raising on my own after her mom passed away from drug addiction I feel this every day. Thank you Steve-o for getting clean because every time I see you sober it keeps me clean!!.
Cory, I loved reading your story. It's very heartfelt and inspirational. I wish you and your daughter all the best and hope of a bright future for you both.
Corey this is an INCREDIBLE story, I’m so glad you’re sober. I am, too, I’m 4 years from opiates & 2 years from everything else. Your story brought tears to my eyes. You’re an inspiration❤
Its almost like you shouldn't judge a book by its cover because You can't know whats deep inside the pages. Dude was always clearly a very insightful funny person but drugs probably held him back (just my take)
I always enjoyed Steve-O's antics, but I love the man he has become and what he has fought through to get where he is today. I have so much respect for him.
This is just so sad it’s even more sad seeing Steve-O acknowledge what they could be and seeing him hurt because of his friend. Breaks my heart. Can’t say you didn’t try. Sorry you have to feel this pain.
Steve weren’t the crew INCLUDING Bam all there for you to help you out with this EXACT issue? As a former addict im SUPER disappointed that your willing to talk shit about your “friend” for podcast views and I can understand that you probably tried some stuff to help but you do not give up on those you love let alone use their downfall for money and ratings… You should be locking him in a house with you and the boys and going through this together. Theirs a reason you never were all over the news for this long. Bam isn’t in his right mind so anything he does to help himself is going to do the opposite and YOU KNOW THIS. Sure addicts stay or get sober when they want to but you DEFINITELY can help him cut back and be a functioning person at the very least until then or atleast stay out of the news. What he has done while binging is nuts but its also not him and you know that too. Bam has always been the nice guy behind his mask. He’s not gunna threaten people’s lives unless hes had no sleep for a week n lots of meth and alcohol so he doesn’t think straight. You shouldn’t be getting updates FROM REDDIT… your supposed to be his day one. If this is how my friends and family acted when I needed to get sober i’d be dead.. STEP UP. Love you guys and sending my best wishes to Bam, just wish you would act like a genuine friend and fellow addict for him and help him.
its sad but whats more sad imho is watching steve0 talk about it like this and getting his news from REDDIT insteada being there for Bam when he needs him most and getting him out of the spotlight etc. I wouldn’t even worry about the charge if I was him, those guys literally saved his life. I’d pay a fine for helping get my buddy sober enough to turn himself in and go walk down right with him and pay my fine and his bail. He’s acting like “oh well i told him to stop” is enough.. they didnt give up on him and he shouldn’t on Bam. You don’t see Knoxville trying to scrape up some money by going on podcast or tv to talk about Bam wanting to box him (which probably resulted from Knoxville trying to force him into HELP in the first place, and that’s how you know your starting to break through to them even just a little because theyr angry at themselves not you) he’s actually respecting his privacy and trying his best to help. I’m sure you tried some stuff Steve but please go try harder. Get his parents too. Have him committed! Hell there are MANY more things you can do and using him for views isn’t one. Thats more sad then this whole spiral he’s had.
That's not helping at all. If bam ain't reaching out to him then he needs to mind his business and worry about himself...not to mention putting an other man in prison can get your average Joe killed in America 🤦
@@swiftvixxen BS. I had my spleen and half my liver removed do to heavy drinking..I don't go around telling grown men how to live their life or try and put them in prison 🤦
Bam is a pefect example of a kid whose parents let him do whatever he wanted with no consequences and now that he's an adult and has had to deal with adversity he has no idea how to handle it and blames everone else but himself, it's really sad to see and i really hope that he gets the help he needs and gets his life back on track
Does not mean he does not need help. A real friend would go kick his ass. Not talk shit. Fucking shit talking bullshit youtube greasers. A real friend would go kick down his door and whip his ass until reason. Otherwise you are gunna just watch him die like I have seen my friends die by not doing anything but the same shit.
At this point he really can only help himself by making the decision to stop. Speaking from experience. But it is sad, I don’t wish it on anyone, and I truly hope he DOES make that choice.
3:32 I watched that interview. He was clearly not on meth. And I am an EMT trained to see signs of drug abuse. UPDATE: BAM PASSED A DRUG TEST. Are ya’ll gonna remove these accusations? or keep defaming your so called friend?
Hell Steveo sure as hell hope he doesn't because he knows if Bam ever sobers up then he can staty counting down the days for when he gets canceled... Steveo well aware of the fact he wouldn't be shit if it hadn't been for Bam and Bam's the one who'd popular not Steveo.. It's also amusing how he talks about the two of them together if Bam was sober but he knows damn well that would never happen because he's too jealous of Bam and honestly never was one of Bams favorite people...
@@brianswathey yeah but some people are just different. It has a lot to do with self-awareness and caring about people who care about you as a person anyone can become a train wreck circumstances allow it, but most people are able to come around and see the light and make the changes they need to make to live a full and complete life, I’m not gonna say never I don’t want to say never say never but I don’t think that is in the cards for Bam Margera to be perfectly honest he is extremely selfish extremely immature. He doesn’t have the self-awareness and he doesn’t place any value in what his friends and people who care about him think honestly he could care less and well his behavior might be a result of drug and alcohol. You send abuse that’s not the reason why he is who he is as a person someone who is not a good person is going to be that way with or without drugs and alcohol and vice versa I think Steve O always was a good person and that’s the difference.
Right like clearly locking him up is not working, bad mouthing him to the press, and putting all of his business out there what kind of family? Oh the one that lives off of him in the house he bought from money he made but some how he’s to incompetent to have basic civil rights to be a free man and not locked up for 10 years like Britney Spears their literally doing the same thing in front of peoples faces and their agreeing with them! 🙌🏼
@@SociopatheAssumejust a reminder... saying "well, this person who got sober was a lot younger than this other person who's an older mess now is" 1 billion % reinforces the "older mess" person's belief that it's too late for them to bother trying to climb out of their hell. I understand your point is to say that Steve-O might've had more time to save himself and Bam may be in more immediate danger, but please be careful with comments like this. You're literally kind of saying "yeah, but...it sort of is almost too late for Bam" 😕😓😢
@@aaandSCENE well, this si precisely what I'm afraid off, concerning Bam . I do NOT wish at all, and hope he'll be able to be a sober person/father. But here is expectations and there is reality.
His mom said that he had broken light bulbs all over his house and he admitted to being addicted to adderall on doctor Phil. “Adderall” aka mef😂 he’s doin the ice bro 100%
I've watched the videos of that girl, and the only thing she wants them free of is that conservatorship... And I don't think that's wrong it's just a way to control rich people's money all the people that Lima's been associated with hasn't had good results.
RIGHT!!! I meanwhat's so wrong with warning him to be in control of his own life clearly having others in control of his life hasn't worked so why don't they let him try it his way then I think you'll see a major change in Bam. Facts ain't defamation! ❤
Probably not though unfortunately.. guy is deep in the insanity at this point.. drug induced psychosis.. and it's very difficult to overcome that.. you need to surround yourself with reasonable down to earth people who make you responsible for your actions
The issue with Bam is that he doesn't want to get sober. He still thinks what he's doing is awesome and fun and glorious. He can't let go of the old days. I've been around people like him for 20 years and it only ends 2 ways. He decides that he wants to get better for himself because he wants it for himself or it ends up costing him his life.
I think Steve-O has realised that there's only so much you can do for someone who really doesn't want to change. Steve-O seems at peace now that he's tried to help Bam in every way, but Bam doesn't want and appreciate that help, so Steve-o is backing off and letting Bam participate in his own downfall. Well done Steve-O for trying for as long as you have been, you've been a great friend to Bam and when Bam is on his deathbed he'll probably be grateful to have had great friend like you - he's just too fucked up at the moment to realise it.
Exactly. Like I’ve been around plenty of drug addicts and mth heads lol he must be super high func too I Int for such an intense droog 😂 like common these people
Lmfao meth doesn’t make you completely incoherent if you’re a “normal” user. I used to go work a 10 hour shift spun out on meth. It just makes you super focused
@@PaxxMontana yeah I’m having a hard time with that one. Normal users are worse than occasional users by far. And it may make you super focused… on 200 tasks all at the same time. Nobody on meth accomplishes anything. Never mind the ridiculous paranoia. I’ve watched people disappear entirely into meth use. Acting like it’s pumped up adderall, and you’re just focused and get shit done, is kind of a dangerous.
About 10 years ago my childhood friend had gotten so hooked on heroin I had to fully cut ties with him. After 10 years of trying to help him beat his addiction, I just couldn’t anymore. I couldn’t stand it. He called me crying one day, his own father had gotten together with the police department and set him up for a sting after he had overdosed in the shower. His father “ordered a pizza” and sent him outside to meet with the delivery boy, where the cops were waiting. They tased him, tackled him, cuffed him, and he sat in the back of that car bawling that his own father had turned him in. He went to court ordered therapy and drug counseling. He got clean, moved down to where the rehab was and got his license to become a drug and addiction counselor. Also helping veterans get back on their feet and helping them get their disability and retirement benefits approved through the VA as well as their due back pay. Now, that’s not to say he hasn’t had his slip ups. He did slip up once and was immediately caught and served a year in prison. He got lucky. Unfortunately his father passed two months ago, but their relationship was never stronger. When he was in the throes of addiction, he thought it was betrayal. When he got sober, he saw it as the biggest favor anyone has ever done for him.
Yeah opiate addiction can become so scary that even your loved ones don't know what to do anymore ones you consider to be super solid may very well have to bring law enforcement into the picture if they don't want to see you die.
"we could have made a lot of money off those bam skateboards" and then he goes on to talk publicly about private conversations he's had w/ bam. It's just a bad look from a friend.
@@danman6669 tough love isn’t spreading tmz headlines like they’re facts.. i don’t think steve o knows enough information to publicly speak on it like this. what does bam gain from steve o spreading the rumor that he’s on a meth binge?
This is hitting me hard. I lost my brother a few weeks ago, he was an addict and just had those demons. I was always in his corner and am now absolutely heartbroken.
Life can be so harsh my sister could identify however I did go to jail for two years and it worked for me. I am so sorry I too have lost many friends to that disease. All you can do is love.
I'm so sorry. My brother is also lost in addiction and we try but he is still very much into it. I fear I'll find out he is dead. Sending you so much love. Im so very sorry for your loss.
It's a shame, I really was hoping that this was Bam's moment of realization and understanding of his addiction.. it felt like he was finally starting to turn the corner.. this is incredibly sad. Still hoping he can find happiness, and recovery sometime soon. You don't know the darkness of depression and addiction, until you've been there yourself, I truly hope he can get better. Nothing but credit to Steve-O and crew for attempting to help their boy many many times, there's only so much you can do for someone who doesn't want to help themselves.
The dude had his best friend sacrificed for fame/money and his guilt aka "excuse" addiction took over his brain. You use drugs to escape reality from your dark temptations
I’m currently in active addiction and it’s so hard to admit how much better quality of life is sober but, I’ve been 3 years sober before. This time though, i don’t think I’ll come back. No other drugs. I just hate everything so much. Mainly myself and don’t feel I can ever like myself. It is a lot to do with alcohol feeding my already existing depression. I’ll just keep on trying though I guess until it’s kaput. I won’t listen to anyone.
Get the bam crew together, film it, cry & shit, tackle the mfer, hog tie Bam, bring a poster life like cut out of ryan dunn, put bam hog tied into a padded truck, Bring him to jail, lmao. Let him do time. That would be the most traumatising shit to him all he would remember is the carsboatd cut out of dunn & he wouldnt even know whats real or not cause hes on meth! Perfect plan. Youve got To approach it the way he functions. Id legit love that to be my “sober stoey” “Like yeah guys i was on a meth bender & all my homies & my dead homies tied me up & brought me to prison after i threatened yo kill everyone & here i am ten years clean now!”
Come on man... Wishing someone to be locked up is kinda messed up. Edit: I figured a group of millionaires would have more creative solutions than that.
No. It's not messed up when someone is as out of control as, unfortunately Bam is, Jail is the best thing for him at this point. What's the alternative? DEATH.. I am an addict that found recovery 9 years ago. I understand what Steve O is saying and agree 100%
@@nicholas.alan85 It's bizarre to advocate a person should be jailed for drinking a legal substance. He's not addicted to meth. He's a drunk that is financially responsible for his entire family yet not allowed to live in the home he built for himself. He doesn't have to stop drinking if he doesn't want to. It's weird af to say a person doesn't deserve freedom because they like being drunk.
Hes an alcoholic, they have times when they r sober for periods of time and are doing well, but eventually relapse. Once an alcoholic always an alcoholic. Its the hardest drugs to stop and has the lowest rate of getting sober. Dont ever let alcoholics fool you.

Y’all delusional people like bam need help and these titles shouldn’t be any more of a a scare than going on a meth bender. Dude did it to himself like us all but he need to come to terms with the facts, this is all on him.
@eeriebb seriously??? Bam not taking accountability for his actions is why he runs. He could choose to ignore "these titles" (which are true- he's going to hurt someone) or he could use them as justification to keep being stupid.
I remember watching Bam when I was a teenager and he was in his early 20’s thinking that kid has zero boundaries. His entire life he was rarely ever told no. Losing Ryan broke the back on already very shaky situation. Really sad
Steve-O has really impressed me with how calm, cool, and collect he is these days. Who would have thought one of the biggest Jackasses on Jackass would have turned out to be so down to earth, intelligent and wise.
Johnny is the same I saw a clip of him talking about his 7 yr old finding out about jackass and he had to say yes I did this but it's too naughty for you to see he's shielded his kids from everything and nowadays that's hard but big up to him and Steve ✌🏻
@@00fordxlt they will run into those dvds sooner or later but for now let's hope that it's later. God knows kids don't get to keep their innocence long enough these days even with the best care.
Best of luck to you. You have support whether you know it or not. If you ever need to talk feel free to hit me back and I'll give you my email. Ain't lookin to preach but the one little bit of small advice that helped me in the past and I try and give that may help....if you fuck up and use again, it ain't the end, it's a bump in a road, don't think it's all down the drain all of a sudden because that's only the case if you let it be the case. Far too many people relapse and then just go all in on throwing it away, can't fuckin count how many times I did that myself. It happens. Also, for the longest time I was anti-support group, or at least thought it just wasn't for me. Breaking news....fucking EVERYONE thinks that. Until I was forced to go, it didn't immediately work any miracles, but it was another very useful tool in the box. Best place to find others who know EXACTLY what you're goin thru that are all just tryin to get to the same place you are. Sorry turned into a rant. Hope the best for you bro/sis!
@@joenobody5913 and @Miguel Ortiz and @Caiden - I will reply under their comments too referring them to this because I want to thank and acknowledge all of you. I also hope this reply won't trigger any of you, and I want to state that trigger warning beforehand. Your comments made me emotional in a good way, even though I failed and went on what is now a three-day use period. I am functional during, go to work, sleep, eat and process the poison - cocaine and 3mmc and alcohol - and then sober up, feel awful and usually manage to stay sober and clean for a week before I relapse. Been to a couple of meetings, can mostly curtail my abuse to once a week, but felt bad after having recommitted to the program twice already. I even remove the key-chain from my set of keys when I do bumps. I struggle with bipolarity, type II, and ADD, and take meds for the latter. How did you guys get over that first week hiccup? I get so intense and almost hypomanic when I am sober, especially if I quit nicotine too I am working the entire summer but planning on going to do a month or two of rehab. I was clean for almost three months - even cigarettes - last Spring, without NA or AA and just cold-turkeying and my psychiatrist says my addiction is psychological mostly. My client, who employs me, is a dear friend and knows of all of this and is helping me plan my rehab if it is necessary. As fo me. I am in my early thirties, never did drugs because of the bipolarity looming over my family tree, but decided to pursue making art professionally and did not want to be afraid of it anymore, and did my first line aged 28, and hated it. Until 29, where it clicked. Is it me not having reached rockbottom or staying in the same surroundings? Therapy has helped, and I am building up agency and self-confidence through starting to observe everything I do do well. Thank you guys, galls, or other gendered, for replying, it meant the world.

@@miguelortiz8350 dear Miguel, I replied to JOENOBODY's comment with a reply to you, JOENOBODY and Caiden. Thank you for your words. I am getting on it bit by bit.
Here's the truth: Bam was the spoiled brat a.d.d. kid with the kind of parents that let him get away with anything and bought him anything. This can be seen in his personality even to this day. However.....Bam created CKY in the late 90s. CKY was a national treasure and Bam and crew were household names by the year 2000 among kids 12-25. CKY was everywhere. When Tremaine and Knoxville went to MTV with their Knoxville video, MTV wasn't interested unless CKY and all of it's popularity could be brought on board. Skating had been growing in massive popularity across the US but especially in the midwest in the mid 90s. Today, the crew from Big Brother magazine would love for you all to believe that Big Brother was this big hit in the way that CKY was. It Was Not! In fact, outside of LA virtually no one had heard of Big Brother magazine. So, the CKY crew is brought on board. MTV licenses footage from CKY and CKY2k for Jackass. Go watch the Jackass tv show now on Paramount, or watch the first Jackass movie. Most of the footage is cut and paste right out of CKY or skits from CKY are reshot with the new crew. IE. The Rental Car. Bam was the head writer and creator for Jackass and the licenses purchased by MTV as well as the CKY money not only helped him settle lawsuits over CKY but they made him rich before Jackass ever premiered. When Jonny and Steve-o were driving 10k dollar cars, Bam was showing up in supercars. This created jealousy from the Big Brother crew and caused rifts between the two different crews (Big Brother/CKY) that weren't seen in the public eye. Mostly between Tremaine/Knoxville/Steve-o and Bam/Dico. When Brandon Dicamillo left he said, I refuse to buy Jeff Tremaine another 10 million dollar house. You can see the massive reduction in the thought of the skits just by watching everything before Jackass 4 and Jackass 4 itself. Jackass 4 is 90% penis and butthole jokes. Bam like many of the others was headed down a bad road leading to addiction which clearly went full throttle after the death of one of his best friends. However, this has been exacerbated by the fact that the Big Brother crew continue to be egomaniacal narcissist's who paint a false picture of the truth. They've always been jealous of Bam, never wanted him there in the first place and now Bam has helped give them the ammo to sink him while they all get ahead off what he originally built. They lie about all of it and gaslight him every chance they can get. This is why Bam challenged Knoxville. This is why he continues to spiral. It's not because he's a POS, it's because he's dealing with this reality that none of you know is the truth. Unfortunately, it seems like what Bam really needs, are REAL friends.
@@Maverick.D. Yea I was actually just literally looking for the right now because I saw it iny recommendations earlier today and was waiting to watch that right now and didn't see it on his page. So thank you for clearing that up for me
as someone who struggled with sobriety myself especially when I was younger I really hope bam can pull a turn around but I know that's so much harder as someone gets older. Jail time (unfortunately took 3 times to sink in and a threat to doing more serious time) and rehab were exactly what I needed, if I could have I would have locked myself in a bunker to get away from my substance abuse but unfortunately it took going into withdrawals and almost dying multiple times after my 3rd arrest to finally be willing to go to rehab.
I'm 42 and still struggling, I don't drink anymore but I've replaced with weed and amphetamine. I just enjoy weed but amphetamine helped me come off drink. But after a few years of amphetamine use obviously I'm finding it hard to stop completely because of boredom and situation. I take my hat off to anyone that admits they have or had a problem. I've spent most of my adult life justifying my substance use rather than admitting anything.
@@jasontaffyboiweetchy1015 Unfortunately it happens to alot of us, acknowledging to yourself your an addict is a good first step, i hope you decide soon to get the help you need to turn yourself around and live your life without that ball and chain weighing you down and holding you back. Not sure if you have children or maybe grandchildren, do it for them also my friend. Best wishes to you.
I’m 24 and after going to jail for a DUI (nobody hurt) I was finally ready to change. Right now I have lost everything, my job, my car, my home, my fiancé. But I’ve never felt more content than I do now knowing that I’m making a change. It’s time for me to stand up against addiction..
You guys are slamming Steve-O pretty hard for holding his friend accountable. “Oh Steve-o was on drugs and yet he’s shaming Bam, Steve-O is being a hypocrite mehhh” NEWS FLASH: he didn’t get clean because people just let him get away with shitty behavior. He probably had people give him really tough love to push him to the point of HAVING to get clean. What’s he supposed to do? Sit there and say “wow bam haha so funny drugs are bad but whatever have a great life” absolutely not! In order for bam to get his life together, he needs accountability and friends that will give him tough love. As a former addict myself, I know from experience that those are the friends you hate in the moment but love when you look back and realized their tough love and accountability saved your fucking life.
I’m sure he’s concerned but bam has done this more than once. He’s been offered help multiple times. You can only save someone from a burning house so many times before it gets hopeless
Because this had been happening for decades. Everybody is over trying to help him or be concerned. They have tried everything and it bam doesn’t give a fuck
I’ve been where he was, and honestly he probably doesn’t even care about sleeping at this point let alone getting help. I hope he can get healthy, and then seek a therapist.
I never followed the jackass boys to close by any means. But seeing Stevo as the voice of reason. Its amazing how much people change. Hope Bam gets his life in order as well.
I personally would not go public defaming anyone (especially someone with a law degree) out of pocket like that tbh but I'm not a "wild boy" so.. you know. best of luck to ya.

@@sc1338 wdym? Genuinely, just being civil here. Yes, Bam suffered the loss of his best friend....12 years ago. Yes, it was heartbreaking for him, and I'm sure it always will be, but Dunn died of alcoholism, Steve-O also mentioned he believes this to be true in an interview he was on. Bam has been provided with the best possible care at his disposal and he just fucks it up by his own accord, time and time again. It's not even about Dunn anymore. It's about his selfishness. I get addiction & alcoholism, as I'm in recovery from both. To say that what's happened has gotten out of control would be an understatement... he has a kid, he has a family, he has people who love & care about him. He's been given more tools, more chances, etc. than Steve-O was given.
Then bam is just the weakest person ever. Steve-O was a notorious drug addict and everyone couldn’t stand him or his actions yet here he his clean and sober and the happiest he’s been. Bam doesn’t have any excuse . He can’t keep falling back on Ryan’s death as a reason for his behavior
@@fitforaspidey729 The weakest? I wouldn't call someone not wanting to get sober "weak". You can't really compare stevo and bam. They have two different upbringings. Two different families. Two different types of triggers. Do you consider every addict that has died too weak to survive? Everyone needs to stop comparing him to everyone else or every other person's addiction. He earned his money. If he wants to spend it on drugs, That's his prerogative. If he wants to spend it on an attorney to prove that he's not on drugs, That's his prerogative too.
@@Wizeup881 agreed everybody thinks they know what is right for Bam and he needs to figure it out for himself and was on that path by himself tell the family and stupid "Lima" put him in the Florida shuffle 9 times to 9 different places with No communication with anyone and just how was that going to help? Bam has asked online for everyone to see for help from Lamar.
@Anastasia Ryker yes. Every addict that dies was too weak to survive. Infact, ANYONE that dies for ANY reason was too weak to survive. If a passenger jet crashes into my head and it inevitably kills me.. guess what... I was too weak to survive
Steveos philosophy of recovery and the way they laugh and ponder about ways they could set him up to use so he gets sent to jail is the most fucked up and sick thing. He needs to stay Far Far away from this circle of people. I hope he finds actual and legitimate treatment and support and people who care and will really listen to him. Something it seems like he hasnt had in a really long time.
Well, somethings got to give. If Bam can't figure out a way to fix himself, maybe jail is what is necessary to scare him into changing his negative ways.
@@danman6669 doesn’t work for everyone. Some people take the trauma and go further into drugs to cope. Plus jail is full of drugs. Some people feel so hopeless and so much self hatred that the drugs are just a slow “unaliving”. If you feel you have no reason to live why stop. He has to have proper mental health treatment and jail will not do that.
3:50 Steve-O making a point here I see a lot of people swear up-and-down isn’t true. He might make a podcast clip with a flashy title when Bam’s publicly antagonizing him, but he really isn’t interested in making money off his friend’s suffering. For a man willing to shill out butt wipes and hot sauce I feel like it shows integrity and care for his former friend to scrap that footage
It’s hard to see Steve-O truly being “done” with trying to help a friend. Not everyone is a success story unfortunately but it’s good to see Steve-O continue to be a great example.
Beating a drug addiction is just one part of a better life a huge step but trying to be a good person is just as important & Stevo after beating his addiction seems to be talking down instead of inspiring
@@A-ROD-oe8wlno he's being straight forward, having expectations and holding his friend accountable. An addict needs love and understanding yes, but they also need to be held accountable and not encouraged in their negative behavior. "Accept me as my toxic self just because" isn't acceptable.
So glad that Steve looks so healthy and he got the devil off his back - he tried to help Bam but ultimately he can't - sad - but so proud of Steve he looks great happy for him - always smiling ❤
Yes. Life is short. Let's be honest, like Steve-O, we all do crazy stuff that would either hurt or kill us when we were younger. But, as we get older, time will tell us to stop doing crazy shit. If only we have time machines to go back in time either to scold or beat the hell out of ourselves so we can stop doing crazy stuff.
*"My client is presumed innocent," van der Veen (Bam's lawyer) said. "The rumors that have been being passed around by his brother through this last week have been nothing short of defamation and that will be handled in another courthouse." He got a lawyer, turned himself in & "a judge arraigned the reality star and he was then released on signature bond, according to court records. Margera faces a preliminary hearing in May."* This youtube page is as reliable as his source, tmz.
Steve o appears to be in cahoots with this network of parasites looking to suck bams bank account dry, THAT is what’s sad. Most would be driven to some vice under such betrayal. If you break down each ‘intervention’ by police reports/body cam footage/court filings it’s plain to see Bam is being manipulated by those closest to him not unlike Britney Spears. @thatsurprisewitness compiled all these legal documents and is an IVY LEAGUE LAW SCHOOL GRADUATE. And you guys are gonna believe this Ringling Clown College grad when he calls her a “LUNATIC.” 😂😂😂 The irony. These defamatory lies make me see Steve o entirely differently. Not that I ever looked up to him… I mean, cmon. And now look at him and Novak high-horsing now that they’re just around the bend 💩🤡 some “friends”…
Steve-O is 100% right here - the only thing that's going to stop Bam is getting arrested and involuntarily sober. It's a hell of an effort to get sober after you've been addicted for so long so my hat is continually off for Steve-O for recognizing himself that he needed to change. Sadly, Bam isn't there yet but hope he gets there.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions- All of the people talking about bam and "trying to help" need to just let him go. You can't force another person to do anything. I honestly feel like he's being backed into a corner and that makes people desperate and suicidal. 🤷🏻♂️
I disagree with the idea to call for support to be abandoned when he seems to be struggling the most. I do understand that it can be borderline-impossible to help a person so far gone but to call for people to "let him go"? You don't think Steve appreciated the help when he was struggling?
I love Steve-O and I’m on his side of everything to do with Bam and he was the reason I got sober but I truthfully think Steve-o needs to just stop talking about Bam
@@dickwadd6190 Bam definitely isn’t a good guy but I hate saying it cause I’m a big Steve-o fan but it’s starting to feel like Steve-o is using Bam for content when he runs out of ideas. When content is slow and his podcast drops views he always brings up Bam and makes sure to put it in the title
I'm not sure them talking about it publicly helps the situation. He obviously sees this, and it just makes him more manic. Especially if this may be now a police matter. I'm not on team Bam at all btw. It's just an observation. I'm glad they called Steveo out here for saying he was sober on the podcast. That was demonstrably false.
You can only lead a horse to water. A program could have the best treatment in the world but if the person doesn't want to be better, they simply won't be affected. It has to come from within.
Is Bam's family talking to TMZ? That's bad form, like really, can the guy not even trust his Mom? Can I just say Steve-o can't hide how much he loves that this is happening. Apparently Bam punched his brother in the face so his brother rang the police. Should you punch someone? Fuck no! Not okay Bam, but not many brothers I know would ring the police if their brother punched them, they'd just punch them back. Also he has not been the same since his friend died. Nobody can help Bam, that's his choice, he has to decide to do it for himself. FYI, they're talking out of their asses, That Surprise Witness did not know he was on meth if he is at all, but he was handed a drink of alcohol during the interview, she says this on her podcast if they'd bother to watch it to actually get the facts, but they would they do that right?
Here's the truth: Bam was the spoiled brat a.d.d. kid with the kind of parents that let him get away with anything and bought him anything. This can be seen in his personality even to this day. However.....Bam created CKY in the late 90s. CKY was a national treasure and Bam and crew were household names by the year 2000 among kids 12-25. CKY was everywhere. When Tremaine and Knoxville went to MTV with their Knoxville video, MTV wasn't interested unless CKY and all of it's popularity could be brought on board. Skating had been growing in massive popularity across the US but especially in the midwest in the mid 90s. Today, the crew from Big Brother magazine would love for you all to believe that Big Brother was this big hit in the way that CKY was. It Was Not! In fact, outside of LA virtually no one had heard of Big Brother magazine. So, the CKY crew is brought on board. MTV licenses footage from CKY and CKY2k for Jackass. Go watch the Jackass tv show now on Paramount, or watch the first Jackass movie. Most of the footage is cut and paste right out of CKY or skits from CKY are reshot with the new crew. IE. The Rental Car. Bam was the head writer and creator for Jackass and the licenses purchased by MTV as well as the CKY money not only helped him settle lawsuits over CKY but they made him rich before Jackass ever premiered. When Jonny and Steve-o were driving 10k dollar cars, Bam was showing up in supercars. This created jealousy from the Big Brother crew and caused rifts between the two different crews (Big Brother/CKY) that weren't seen in the public eye. Mostly between Tremaine/Knoxville/Steve-o and Bam/Dico. When Brandon Dicamillo left he said, I refuse to buy Jeff Tremaine another 10 million dollar house. You can see the massive reduction in the thought of the skits just by watching everything before Jackass 4 and Jackass 4 itself. Jackass 4 is 90% penis and butthole jokes. Bam like many of the others was headed down a bad road leading to addiction which clearly went full throttle after the death of one of his best friends. However, this has been exacerbated by the fact that the Big Brother crew continue to be egomaniacal narcissist's who paint a false picture of the truth. They've always been jealous of Bam, never wanted him there in the first place and now Bam has helped give them the ammo to sink him while they all get ahead off what he originally built. They lie about all of it and gaslight him every chance they can get. This is why Bam challenged Knoxville. This is why he continues to spiral. It's not because he's a POS, it's because he's dealing with this reality that none of you know is the truth. Unfortunately, it seems like what Bam really needs, are REAL friends.
This guy has it every opportunity in the world, has the money has the resources and still plays victim. I honestly don’t feel bad for Bam Margera you can only help somebody who wants to be helped.
@@catiecody4102 I can't even fathom the brainworms you must have to take a case of somebody failing to take any personal responsibility for their life, to the detriment of their family and young child...and twisting that into some kind of oblivious commentary on the essence of being American or whatever absolutely goofy shit you just said, lol holy fuck...
Money and fame does not in any way negate being miserable inside. You seem to believe that "He has money, so he MUST be happy or he is just a whining bitch." Which also suggest that if you are ever upset, that is legit because you do not have that. You say he has all the money and resources. My question becomes money and resources to do what? Cure being miserable? If someone invented that, I am pretty sure I would have heard of it. Going to a fancy detox spa does nothing at all. There is no resource one can use to magically want to be sober. Either you want it, or you don't.
Makes me sad. You grow up with these guys and you almost feel like they are a part of your life. I know this has to be breaking Steve O's heart, because I've never even met Bam, and it bums me out. Anybody that is truly into the Jackass world, has probably lost friends at some point, to drugs or alcohol. It's tough to see someone like him, with soooo much support around him constantly drown. It's never too late. Still rooting for Bam, but jail at this exact moment, could be a blessing for him. Much admiration for Steve O. Everyone should be fortunate enough, to have a friend like him
Britney did and there's another similarity - being locked up against their will. No one would come out of that positively - you can't force anyone to change. Stevo is disgusting to talk about him on TH-cam. Profiting off someone's poverty porn is just the lowest.
everyone has a good points u can have a big downfall once and make it through it but bams had several chances .. i hope he finds his way back but shit the way back gets further away the farther u travel a troubled road
All you people act like sobriety makes you some kind of superstar. You're likely now just an average person doing average stuff. You're human, not special. Congratulations.
True friends don't just sit back and watch as their friends destroy themselves. They take action and show tough love and that's what Steve-O is doing here.
Out of the entire jackass crew, Bam was the only one that came off as mean spirited. I remember how funny he thought it was to sucker punch his own friends.
So sad. It seemed like things were looking up for Bam. I really hope he gets the help he needs. Man I wish I could go back to the old days, when Dunn was still alive.
The more weeks that pass, the more you realise that Steve-O is right. Prison would genuinely be the safest place for Bam right now. You can check yourself out of rehab (which is what Bam did), you can't check yourself out of prison
@kibakillz6399 Why? What alternative is there left? What haven't Bam's friends and family tried to do to help him? If he won't change on his own, if his willpower is simply insufficient, and if he keeps making a criminal out of himself, what then? If you truly think there is another way we're all ears. Also, you gave mo reason for your comment.
The “looney lady” that interviewed Bam has a channel called BJ investigates. It sounds like he just wants to look good and make her sound bad. She made a really good series on him that has him really mad. I think I heard he is trying to sue her for it.
So many famous ppl utilise it: it’s known. Courtney love was one of first to be known she utilised the media… Also Chris Cornell’s wife does the same..:. I think a lot so
What like 5k for a story about someone nobody gives a shit about anymore? You really think a story about a failed loser Star like bam is worth any $? Lmao
Bam is a grown man and should be accountable for his actions nobody would be sitting here talking about him if he just straightened up his crap and that is pure honesty and truth
Accountability is a great thought, but addiction is a mental disease that becomes physical. It just happens much more publicly than other strictly physical diseases. Not excusing what he’s done but Bam isn’t where he is simply because he’s acting out and refuses to get his act together.
If Steve-O can get sober then Bam can get sober, he's technically a grown man but he's just a little kid who didn't have to grow up so I feel no sympathy for his spoiled ass
@@pariah87 that’s true. Most of those issues I’d venture a guess are what caused his addiction and continue to feed said addiction. NO ONE wants to be an addict, whether they act like they do or not. Being an addict is an absolute living hell. I’m not excusing any of his nonsense, but a little empathy and understanding of others goes a long way. Unfortunately we seem to be regressing in this country and not looking at root causes of issues. We just bitch about the symptoms. We all need to do a lot better.
Man I hope the best for Bam! I remember watching him skating as a kid..he's still an inspiration somewhat despite all the stuff. I am an alcoholic myself and although I take it pace by pace it is still affecting my life.
I was hoping that he was on the mend when he filmed that documentary about Ryan's death and him restarting in Spain or wherever it was but now I fear he's got a sliver of hope and that's himself, I mean, if losing his friends, his parents basically disowning him and losing his wife & kid is in enough. I don't know what it is. Most addiction specialist and ex addicts will tell you only you can make you get sober. I hope the best for him though sincerely
@@anthonydemaio4631 he said it's better for him to be in jail that way he won't be able to hurt himself or others. By that logic all of jackass should have been jailed for their own protection. Stevo wants a man's freedom taken away so he can sleep better and not have to worry about another man.
@@xccelera you have no idea about this situation or anything related to it obviously.... It's best to just listen if you're going to have takes like that. Sorry but....🤷
I could REALLY feel your compassion and sympathy on this video Steve-o.... I mean in between laughing...and mocking....it reminds me of how the entire jackass crew showed you that level of tough love....
I feel like Stephen was always jealous of him and now he finally feels ahead and I just can't help but see that big grin on his face talking about bams troubles.
It's sad to see Bam the way he is while actively pushing all the people who want to help him away cause he wants to wallow in his self pity. I hope he can get well cause you can still be a fun party guy while not drinking yourself to death.
If he just found out about the free Bam movement isn't that a good indication that he wasn't free? Lol. "he just found out about it" Stevo-back tracked quick
@@jordanmcmahan5665 they've ALL gone out of their way, multiple times to try and help bam, this has got nothin to do with "publicity", everyone's just tired of giving him chance, after, chance, after chance. eventually you gotta "wake up" and realize these guys are all "dad age" and grown, and bam's still living in his own world, where he never decided to grow up, 20+ years later. its just sad and depressing for everyone involved, but you can only care so much, before you just tend to lose hope! ive been in recovery for over 4 years myself saying all of this. you have to want to fix the problem on your own, there is no amount of others wanting you to change, that will ever do it. everyone wants bam to change for the better, but he's got to want to change himself, first!
It is so sad to see Bam this way... He was my idol back in the CKY days. I even have the same heartagram tattoo on my stomach.. And He and I have similar experience with loosing my best friend and drug addiction... But im sober now for 7 years! I pray he will get the help he needs !
Surely Steve-O has an intimate enough of a history with Bam that he is surely coming from a place of love and exhaustion. To criticize SO for wanting his friend to get possibly the only intervention that could save him is ignorant.
He’s sick of bams methed out bullshit. If you’ve ever dealt with someone doin ice you’d understand. Eventually you just say fuck this crazy dude I gotta move on. Bam needs to go to jail for a bit. Nothing else will ever work . Clearly
Gossiping about your long time friend is trash. I always hated Bam, and now Steve-o is an untrustworthy rat narcissist exposing other people for views/money. The whole Jackass cast turned out to be dirtbags.
After all the shit Bam has done to relapse and try his hardest to stay addicted, what more do you want from him, someone can only stay supportive for so long before you just have to sit back and let them handle themselves.

You know times have changed when Steve-o is the voice of reason.
When it comes to addiction and self destruction, ex addicts have the best advice.
Only morons and booty bandits think jail and prison rehabilitate people.
Lmao. Right?!
Is that what nitrous oxide does to your voice?
A real friend is that the last thing he wants a good friend, not to mention a someone who made him famous in jail! Steve is a Hollywood backstabber doing whatever it takes to get views. He's got an insane superiority complex to the degree he thinks he's moral enough to dictate lives. Sickening
It's a sad irony that bam's situation is being discussed by Steve-o over coffee
For real.
😂
😢 yes
Not really. Coz Steve-O is a beast.
Bam is dumb.
Bam doesn't want to change, it's gotta come from him.
Also, plenty of addicts manage to NOT threaten to kill their families.
@@benjohnson2312 so you're taking hearsay as fact? Steve-o went to Clown School. 🤡 LoOnEy Lady is an Ivy League Lawyer based in reality and facts ♥
@@eeriebb Why don't you go help Bam if you're so concerned? You're just a viewer like everyone else.
@@eeriebb so Bam is not a drug addict? If this was anyone else, would you care?
Indeed!
Steve-O helped me get sober. Bam is the reason I've stayed that way.
Stay strong, brother.or sister
If you base your life on these assholes. Use again
As I’ve said to others in this comment section, I have the utmost respect for people who have struggled with addiction and found their way again. It takes the strongest type of person imaginable. I hope you’re doing well.
funny you say that because the thought of bam and what he deals with as a deterrent for myself to continue being sober 7 years later. he shouldn’t have ever been kicked out of jackass and steve is the sober czar to pretend to care about bam is sickening
@@owengraziano7288 8 years for myself
UPDATE: Bam Margera has been found and turned himself in to Pennsylvania State Police
Fucking GOOD.
Thanks for posting this
Good to know! Thanks for the update. Unfortunately for his own sake he needs to be held someplace he can't escape from.
No shit shurluckkk
@@RHCole he’s already out on bail
Can't say enough how crazy it is to see Steve-O talk about a guest being presentable on his show lol, oh how times have changed
He wants that sponser money. Total sellout but I get it
By “presentable” he meant, Bam being able to speak coherently for himself on his own behalf
@@Connor-wf2zn The chase more money is so odd, because they clearly have enough to live the rest of their lives comfortably just off Jackass.
@@Ryanopuffs yeah bro for sure. Why does everything have to be so damn black or white?
Steve o is garbage. He wouldn't be nothing if it weren't for bam
The worst part in all this is that bam has a young child and still refuses to grow up. Losing a best friend is hard but he cant use that excuse for the rest of his life. Hes gotta do better for himself and his family.
You clearly not a bam fan because bam was a mess before dunn died on the show "viva la bam"🤦
It's not just losing Ryan Dunn, he also lost his grandma “Mum-mum” and his uncle Vincent “Don Vito” in that same time period.
In that recent interview the Margera family did, they painted the picture about how much Mum-mum and Vito are missed. Yes, I know Vito was a sex offender, but he also was a brother, an uncle a son, there were people who loved him.
Yeah we all deal with death. Time to stop being a bitch
Ats the problem with yall humans . Worried bout someone else's life . Ats why your life is so fkt !
@@kaaskaaskaaskaas Pretty much hit the nail on the head. I was a heavy drinker at like 23, just day drinkin on my weekends with no responsibilities, and during that time my Cousin killed himself and my grandpa had died from lung cancer within a year of eachother and it sent me from just a kid drinking to have fun to a kid drinking to escape. Im 28 now and havent commited to full sobriety (I have a pretty strong mind and honestly i enjoy whiskey and other drinks) but it has take a while to get to a point where i feel comfortable to being shit faced all the time.
you know we’re in a hell of a multiverse when it’s steveo the one that’s completely healthy and bam the one losing it. godspeed to u steve, so glad to see you doing good!
I watched the “loony lady” pod, he didn’t seem to be high on meth.
At all
You need to smoke it constantly, it was like a couple hours talk. Makes no sense. He was most likely drunk as was said but it is what it is, it's bonkers to talk about setting up a situation where Bam would get into jail for meth...
It's like if rehab doesn't work then why would jail. Sure let's stop cold turkey all of the drugs he has been but on and has a problem. Like at this point this crazy intervening is just causing trauma. Let him do what he does with his money, life and house. I feel like everyone should be out of his life including the relatives. He get's sober if he does, if doesn't then he doesn't. It's that simple. You cannot Force sobriety by guantamo baying someone for it. It's even more messed up when talking about setting it up to happen.
He was able to name state and country capitals. To say he was really messed up isn’t true, just somewhat drunk but sober enough to be coherent
Yea its absurd that people find out a thing a person has done and run with it, precariously placing it onto the person in every story they tell. The worst way to "make" someone get help is to trash them with talk, ghost em, and all the tough love mumbo jumbo that leaves that person feeling abandoned forcing them to feel there is nothing left to loose resulting in the most tragic outcome for most!
Same. He looked frightened and extremely concerned for his life.
Going to jail and almost losing everything was the best thing that ever happened to me. As someone like many of us who grew up with you guys I truly hope Bam pulls through. I know he’s miserable too
“ I’m a GREATFUL GAHHHHDDAMN RECOVERIN ADDICT “

@@devon9249 the 7 months shouldn’t count if you’re in jail. Gonna have to call b.s. on that one
@@macysondheim i hope you deal with something like that, then come back to this comment and say it doesn’t count. You feel better after shitting on a person working on getting sober?
You’re the biggest reason I got sober brother. In 2015 I got arrested for my second dui in Pennsylvania. I had already lost my family and I felt like I had nothing left to lose. I got sentenced to 1 year of probation and 6months of ARD. I didn’t take any of it seriously. I remember going to the ARD classes with a beer buzz tied on thinking I had everyone fooled…I did it for the first month, drinking and sitting in these meetings thinking I was better than everyone. I was lost man and so angry. I remember hearing about your sobriety and thinking WHAT A PUSSY he will never make it meanwhile, I was suffering the whole time. I continued to drink and lie through sobriety until one day, a dude came in and told his story so similar to mine and yours. And he brought you up. He was like… fuck man the first time I saw a clean spoon without a burn Mark on it was when I got my first apartment and I was like damn what would Stevie do?? Then he talked about your recovery and how he grew up watching you and how it helped him. That’s when I started watching your videos and seeing what you do man. It changed my life. I know you’ll probably never read this or ever hear this but you saved me. I’m grateful to be able to laugh and watch you grow. It breaks my heart about bam because he grew up 3 hours from me. My mom and his mom used to hang out. I always looked up to him. But honestly man you’re the one I look up to now! And I hope bam can be where we are. Again I’m Sorry for rambling, I don’t normally do this shit on here. But this hit me. Being 4 years clean having a little girl I’m raising on my own after her mom passed away from drug addiction I feel this every day. Thank you Steve-o for getting clean because every time I see you sober it keeps me clean!!.
Cory, I loved reading your story. It's very heartfelt and inspirational. I wish you and your daughter all the best and hope of a bright future for you both.
Corey this is an INCREDIBLE story, I’m so glad you’re sober. I am, too, I’m 4 years from opiates & 2 years from everything else. Your story brought tears to my eyes. You’re an inspiration❤
Congrats man! I just celebrated 5 years!
That's great congratulations man
Npc! He's so drunk he can barely talk
I'm glad Steve O found himself, but if I'm being honest I never would've imagined him being the voice of reason. What an amazing guy
Its almost like you shouldn't judge a book by its cover because You can't know whats deep inside the pages. Dude was always clearly a very insightful funny person but drugs probably held him back (just my take)
I always enjoyed Steve-O's antics, but I love the man he has become and what he has fought through to get where he is today. I have so much respect for him.
Steve-O is a completely different person than he was before the intervention he had in March 2008.
Wow, he grew up? Who would have thought!
@@ItIsYouAreNotYour Yep. Unlike Bam
This is just so sad it’s even more sad seeing Steve-O acknowledge what they could be and seeing him hurt because of his friend. Breaks my heart. Can’t say you didn’t try. Sorry you have to feel this pain.
Steve weren’t the crew INCLUDING Bam all there for you to help you out with this EXACT issue? As a former addict im SUPER disappointed that your willing to talk shit about your “friend” for podcast views and I can understand that you probably tried some stuff to help but you do not give up on those you love let alone use their downfall for money and ratings… You should be locking him in a house with you and the boys and going through this together. Theirs a reason you never were all over the news for this long. Bam isn’t in his right mind so anything he does to help himself is going to do the opposite and YOU KNOW THIS. Sure addicts stay or get sober when they want to but you DEFINITELY can help him cut back and be a functioning person at the very least until then or atleast stay out of the news. What he has done while binging is nuts but its also not him and you know that too. Bam has always been the nice guy behind his mask. He’s not gunna threaten people’s lives unless hes had no sleep for a week n lots of meth and alcohol so he doesn’t think straight. You shouldn’t be getting updates FROM REDDIT… your supposed to be his day one. If this is how my friends and family acted when I needed to get sober i’d be dead.. STEP UP. Love you guys and sending my best wishes to Bam, just wish you would act like a genuine friend and fellow addict for him and help him.
its sad but whats more sad imho is watching steve0 talk about it like this and getting his news from REDDIT insteada being there for Bam when he needs him most and getting him out of the spotlight etc. I wouldn’t even worry about the charge if I was him, those guys literally saved his life. I’d pay a fine for helping get my buddy sober enough to turn himself in and go walk down right with him and pay my fine and his bail. He’s acting like “oh well i told him to stop” is enough.. they didnt give up on him and he shouldn’t on Bam. You don’t see Knoxville trying to scrape up some money by going on podcast or tv to talk about Bam wanting to box him (which probably resulted from Knoxville trying to force him into HELP in the first place, and that’s how you know your starting to break through to them even just a little because theyr angry at themselves not you) he’s actually respecting his privacy and trying his best to help. I’m sure you tried some stuff Steve but please go try harder. Get his parents too. Have him committed! Hell there are MANY more things you can do and using him for views isn’t one. Thats more sad then this whole spiral he’s had.
Love how Steve O has stayed sober and wants to help other addicts change their lives. That’s truly amazing.
Or truly annoying.
That's not helping at all. If bam ain't reaching out to him then he needs to mind his business and worry about himself...not to mention putting an other man in prison can get your average Joe killed in America 🤦
Help lock them up and steal their money
It’s the twelfth step. As recovered alcoholic addicts it’s our job to carry the message to others

and didn't Steve0 go to fucking CLOWN SCHOOL.....lol.....my God!
she sure is😊
She is a lawyer, I’m not sure if she went to Yale or not though. Either way, good point!
that looney lady is also reporting only facts. I gets us feelings watching your videos and I see the shade you all are pulling when I her videos.
💀💀💀
Bam is a pefect example of a kid whose parents let him do whatever he wanted with no consequences and now that he's an adult and has had to deal with adversity he has no idea how to handle it and blames everone else but himself, it's really sad to see and i really hope that he gets the help he needs and gets his life back on track
Does not mean he does not need help. A real friend would go kick his ass. Not talk shit. Fucking shit talking bullshit youtube greasers. A real friend would go kick down his door and whip his ass until reason. Otherwise you are gunna just watch him die like I have seen my friends die by not doing anything but the same shit.
At this point he really can only help himself by making the decision to stop. Speaking from experience. But it is sad, I don’t wish it on anyone, and I truly hope he DOES make that choice.
Yeah he was entertaining for a short while but is a prime example of being nothing but a spoiled punk all his life.
He hasn't been the same since Ryan Dunn died.
The next couple generations are gonna be just like him this country is fucked
3:32 I watched that interview. He was clearly not on meth. And I am an EMT trained to see signs of drug abuse. UPDATE: BAM PASSED A DRUG TEST. Are ya’ll gonna remove these accusations? or keep defaming your so called friend?
Thank you I thought the same!!
UPDATE HE PASSED A DRUG TEST.
He wasn't on meth. But you can be As Emt trained as you want, you will never ever notice the signs as easy as another addict.
It only takes like 2 days to get meth out of your system, a "passed test" don't mean shit
Doesn’t meth leave your system very fast? Any addict can pass a drug test if it’s not weed😂
I wanna see Bam doing well with sobriety and hosting a podcast like Steve-o one day. We're rooting for you, Bam!
It would take an utter miracle for that to happen. The guy’s a total train wreck…
@@brianswathey If Steve-O can do it, anyone can
@@hootiehootheblowphish4109 So true
Hell Steveo sure as hell hope he doesn't because he knows if Bam ever sobers up then he can staty counting down the days for when he gets canceled... Steveo well aware of the fact he wouldn't be shit if it hadn't been for Bam and Bam's the one who'd popular not Steveo.. It's also amusing how he talks about the two of them together if Bam was sober but he knows damn well that would never happen because he's too jealous of Bam and honestly never was one of Bams favorite people...
@@brianswathey yeah but some people are just different. It has a lot to do with self-awareness and caring about people who care about you as a person anyone can become a train wreck circumstances allow it, but most people are able to come around and see the light and make the changes they need to make to live a full and complete life, I’m not gonna say never I don’t want to say never say never but I don’t think that is in the cards for Bam Margera to be perfectly honest he is extremely selfish extremely immature. He doesn’t have the self-awareness and he doesn’t place any value in what his friends and people who care about him think honestly he could care less and well his behavior might be a result of drug and alcohol. You send abuse that’s not the reason why he is who he is as a person someone who is not a good person is going to be that way with or without drugs and alcohol and vice versa I think Steve O always was a good person and that’s the difference.
Whats unreal is his family is calling tmz. Seems unhelpful.
BECUZ ITS ALL BS. LIMA IS TRYING TO CONTROL BAM. SHE TRIED TO APPLY FOR CONSERVATORSHIP ON HIM WHICH IS FUCKED UP.
That’s the argument of “That Surprise Witness”
Right like clearly locking him up is not working, bad mouthing him to the press, and putting all of his business out there what kind of family? Oh the one that lives off of him in the house he bought from money he made but some how he’s to incompetent to have basic civil rights to be a free man and not locked up for 10 years like Britney Spears their literally doing the same thing in front of peoples faces and their agreeing with them! 🙌🏼
Probably payback for all the assaults they had to go thru when he was in his 20s 😂 especially in the middle of the night
@@Yashuasinatra they agreed to it and it made them millionaires
I’m so proud of Steve-O. He’s an omen for those who may think they’re too far gone and it’s too late…it’s NEVER too late to turn it all around.💯
I agree with you, however time is ticking, and when Steve o finally got sober he was quite a lot younger than what Bam is now.
Yeah, he was looking at the grave or jail... and he turned it round.
@@SociopatheAssumejust a reminder... saying "well, this person who got sober was a lot younger than this other person who's an older mess now is" 1 billion % reinforces the "older mess" person's belief that it's too late for them to bother trying to climb out of their hell. I understand your point is to say that Steve-O might've had more time to save himself and Bam may be in more immediate danger, but please be careful with comments like this. You're literally kind of saying "yeah, but...it sort of is almost too late for Bam" 😕😓😢
@@aaandSCENE well, this si precisely what I'm afraid off, concerning Bam . I do NOT wish at all, and hope he'll be able to be a sober person/father. But here is expectations and there is reality.

and prostitutes??? WTF. all hearsay. BAM should sue them for defamation imo
@@bossmorley3083 he’s drunk. Obviously.
Also.

He said that’s what the Reddit ppl were saying
I've watched the videos of that girl, and the only thing she wants them free of is that conservatorship... And I don't think that's wrong it's just a way to control rich people's money all the people that Lima's been associated with hasn't had good results.

Facts ain't defamation! ❤
exactly
Addiction is a tough thing. Hopefully one day Bam will realise the hangovers/withdrawals are simply not worth it
Well said it’s what happen to me had to reach a real bad rock bottom
When he's sober he makes alien alphabets tho, his wiring is skewed hard
It's much more than that. It has ruined his life.
Probably not though unfortunately.. guy is deep in the insanity at this point.. drug induced psychosis.. and it's very difficult to overcome that.. you need to surround yourself with reasonable down to earth people who make you responsible for your actions
Hes addicted to attention more then drugs.
The issue with Bam is that he doesn't want to get sober. He still thinks what he's doing is awesome and fun and glorious. He can't let go of the old days. I've been around people like him for 20 years and it only ends 2 ways. He decides that he wants to get better for himself because he wants it for himself or it ends up costing him his life.
Gonna be the latter 🫤
I think Steve-O has realised that there's only so much you can do for someone who really doesn't want to change. Steve-O seems at peace now that he's tried to help Bam in every way, but Bam doesn't want and appreciate that help, so Steve-o is backing off and letting Bam participate in his own downfall. Well done Steve-O for trying for as long as you have been, you've been a great friend to Bam and when Bam is on his deathbed he'll probably be grateful to have had great friend like you - he's just too fucked up at the moment to realise it.
Sometimes, letting someone fall is the only thing you can still do for them. Rock bottom is the only reality check some people will accept.
Rock bottom is true only if you show it and grow it you try to bring ppl up but they have to suffer to feel there loss n change
Bam does not appear to be on meth at all in those interviews. He was very coherent and remembered every story well.
Exactly. Like I’ve been around plenty of drug addicts and mth heads lol he must be super high func too I Int for such an intense droog 😂 like common these people
Lmfao meth doesn’t make you completely incoherent if you’re a “normal” user. I used to go work a 10 hour shift spun out on meth. It just makes you super focused
He was drunk, not on meth
@@PaxxMontana yeah I’m having a hard time with that one. Normal users are worse than occasional users by far.
And it may make you super focused… on 200 tasks all at the same time. Nobody on meth accomplishes anything.
Never mind the ridiculous paranoia. I’ve watched people disappear entirely into meth use.
Acting like it’s pumped up adderall, and you’re just focused and get shit done, is kind of a dangerous.
@@PaxxMontana clearly they don’t understand how meth works
His family is no different than Britney family
About 10 years ago my childhood friend had gotten so hooked on heroin I had to fully cut ties with him. After 10 years of trying to help him beat his addiction, I just couldn’t anymore. I couldn’t stand it.
He called me crying one day, his own father had gotten together with the police department and set him up for a sting after he had overdosed in the shower. His father “ordered a pizza” and sent him outside to meet with the delivery boy, where the cops were waiting. They tased him, tackled him, cuffed him, and he sat in the back of that car bawling that his own father had turned him in.
He went to court ordered therapy and drug counseling. He got clean, moved down to where the rehab was and got his license to become a drug and addiction counselor. Also helping veterans get back on their feet and helping them get their disability and retirement benefits approved through the VA as well as their due back pay. Now, that’s not to say he hasn’t had his slip ups. He did slip up once and was immediately caught and served a year in prison. He got lucky.
Unfortunately his father passed two months ago, but their relationship was never stronger. When he was in the throes of addiction, he thought it was betrayal. When he got sober, he saw it as the biggest favor anyone has ever done for him.
Yeah man , nobody can think clearly while they are in active addiction , great story.
Yeah opiate addiction can become so scary that even your loved ones don't know what to do anymore ones you consider to be super solid may very well have to bring law enforcement into the picture if they don't want to see you die.

This is hitting me hard. I lost my brother a few weeks ago, he was an addict and just had those demons. I was always in his corner and am now absolutely heartbroken.
Thanks for sharing that. It’s not your fault.
So sorry 😢
Life can be so harsh my sister could identify however I did go to jail for two years and it worked for me. I am so sorry I too have lost many friends to that disease. All you can do is love.
I'm so sorry. My brother is also lost in addiction and we try but he is still very much into it. I fear I'll find out he is dead. Sending you so much love. Im so very sorry for your loss.
Take care of yourself and RIP to ur brother ❤
It's a shame, I really was hoping that this was Bam's moment of realization and understanding of his addiction.. it felt like he was finally starting to turn the corner.. this is incredibly sad. Still hoping he can find happiness, and recovery sometime soon. You don't know the darkness of depression and addiction, until you've been there yourself, I truly hope he can get better. Nothing but credit to Steve-O and crew for attempting to help their boy many many times, there's only so much you can do for someone who doesn't want to help themselves.
The dude had his best friend sacrificed for fame/money and his guilt aka "excuse" addiction took over his brain. You use drugs to escape reality from your dark temptations
I’m currently in active addiction and it’s so hard to admit how much better quality of life is sober but, I’ve been 3 years sober before. This time though, i don’t think I’ll come back. No other drugs. I just hate everything so much. Mainly myself and don’t feel I can ever like myself. It is a lot to do with alcohol feeding my already existing depression. I’ll just keep on trying though I guess until it’s kaput. I won’t listen to anyone.
Get the bam crew together, film it, cry & shit, tackle the mfer, hog tie
Bam, bring a poster life like cut out of ryan dunn, put bam hog tied into a padded truck,

No. It's not messed up when someone is as out of control as, unfortunately Bam is, Jail is the best thing for him at this point. What's the alternative? DEATH.. I am an addict that found recovery 9 years ago. I understand what Steve O is saying and agree 100%
Steve-O is such a douche for putting this video out. What a hypocrite
@@nicholas.alan85 It's bizarre to advocate a person should be jailed for drinking a legal substance. He's not addicted to meth. He's a drunk that is financially responsible for his entire family yet not allowed to live in the home he built for himself. He doesn't have to stop drinking if he doesn't want to. It's weird af to say a person doesn't deserve freedom because they like being drunk.
@Drexl Spivey yep, I have, and that's EXACTLY where he belongs. Stop being a victim.
@Drexl Spivey um... Yes. I have. That's why I'm 100% certain that's where he needs to be. (that kind of backfired eh?)
So sad, last time bam was on he was seemed like he was improving alot. Hope he can get the help he needs
Lol nah his brain is fried he didn’t seem all there at all…
He won't
Hes an alcoholic, they have times when they r sober for periods of time and are doing well, but eventually relapse. Once an alcoholic always an alcoholic. Its the hardest drugs to stop and has the lowest rate of getting sober. Dont ever let alcoholics fool you.
the problem is, he doesn't wanna get better
@@Sotongo true, and thats the problem with most alcoholics
Bam is a perfect example of what happens to kids who never have any accountability in their life.

These titles are exactly why Bam runs and is so angry though
he can't trust anyone. it's so fucked up. he's literally scared this is all a RUSE to put him in a strait jacket
Y’all delusional people like bam need help and these titles shouldn’t be any more of a a scare than going on a meth bender. Dude did it to himself like us all but he need to come to terms with the facts, this is all on him.
BIG facts !! 💯💯
@eeriebb seriously??? Bam not taking accountability for his actions is why he runs. He could choose to ignore "these titles" (which are true- he's going to hurt someone) or he could use them as justification to keep being stupid.
1st step to recovery is accountability for one's self.
I remember watching Bam when I was a teenager and he was in his early 20’s thinking that kid has zero boundaries. His entire life he was rarely ever told no. Losing Ryan broke the back on already very shaky situation. Really sad
Yes, he was rich young and his parents couldn't control him. Sucks, he was a funny ass guy.
Dude was in rehab before Dunn. Trust me, as a junkie, that's just an excuse.
@@fritzfxx facts he'll use Ryan's death as a excuse till he dies

I love how Steve O has managed to turn it around in a positive way.
Johnny is the same I saw a clip of him talking about his 7 yr old finding out about jackass and he had to say yes I did this but it's too naughty for you to see he's shielded his kids from everything and nowadays that's hard but big up to him and Steve ✌🏻

Ain't lookin to preach but the one little bit of small advice that helped me in the past and I try and give that may help....if you fuck up and use again, it ain't the end, it's a bump in a road, don't think it's all down the drain all of a sudden because that's only the case if you let it be the case. Far too many people relapse and then just go all in on throwing it away, can't fuckin count how many times I did that myself. It happens. Also, for the longest time I was anti-support group, or at least thought it just wasn't for me. Breaking news....fucking EVERYONE thinks that. Until I was forced to go, it didn't immediately work any miracles, but it was another very useful tool in the box. Best place to find others who know EXACTLY what you're goin thru that are all just tryin to get to the same place you are.

As someone who is almost ten months sober, let me tell you that you can do this!!!
@@joenobody5913 and @Miguel Ortiz and @Caiden - I will reply under their comments too referring them to this because I want to thank and acknowledge all of you.
I also hope this reply won't trigger any of you, and I want to state that trigger warning beforehand.
Your comments made me emotional in a good way, even though I failed and went on what is now a three-day use period.
I am functional during, go to work, sleep, eat and process the poison - cocaine and 3mmc and alcohol - and then sober up, feel awful and usually manage to stay sober and clean for a week before I relapse.
Been to a couple of meetings, can mostly curtail my abuse to once a week, but felt bad after having recommitted to the program twice already. I even remove the key-chain from my set of keys when I do bumps.
I struggle with bipolarity, type II, and ADD, and take meds for the latter.
How did you guys get over that first week hiccup? I get so intense and almost hypomanic when I am sober, especially if I quit nicotine too
I am working the entire summer but planning on going to do a month or two of rehab. I was clean for almost three months - even cigarettes - last Spring, without NA or AA and just cold-turkeying and my psychiatrist says my addiction is psychological mostly.
My client, who employs me, is a dear friend and knows of all of this and is helping me plan my rehab if it is necessary.
As fo me. I am in my early thirties, never did drugs because of the bipolarity looming over my family tree, but decided to pursue making art professionally and did not want to be afraid of it anymore, and did my first line aged 28, and hated it. Until 29, where it clicked.
Is it me not having reached rockbottom or staying in the same surroundings?
Therapy has helped, and I am building up agency and self-confidence through starting to observe everything I do do well.

Steve-o quotes TMZ like it's facts 😭 wtf
When it comes to celebrity news they are always pretty accurate!.
They have to be or will be sued !
@Andy Salter that is ✨️false ✨️. All they have to do is say "according to sources" and they are covered.
Here's the truth: Bam was the spoiled brat a.d.d. kid with the kind of parents that let him get away with anything and bought him anything. This can be seen in his personality even to this day. However.....Bam created CKY in the late 90s. CKY was a national treasure and Bam and crew were household names by the year 2000 among kids 12-25. CKY was everywhere. When Tremaine and Knoxville went to MTV with their Knoxville video, MTV wasn't interested unless CKY and all of it's popularity could be brought on board. Skating had been growing in massive popularity across the US but especially in the midwest in the mid 90s. Today, the crew from Big Brother magazine would love for you all to believe that Big Brother was this big hit in the way that CKY was. It Was Not! In fact, outside of LA virtually no one had heard of Big Brother magazine. So, the CKY crew is brought on board. MTV licenses footage from CKY and CKY2k for Jackass. Go watch the Jackass tv show now on Paramount, or watch the first Jackass movie. Most of the footage is cut and paste right out of CKY or skits from CKY are reshot with the new crew. IE. The Rental Car. Bam was the head writer and creator for Jackass and the licenses purchased by MTV as well as the CKY money not only helped him settle lawsuits over CKY but they made him rich before Jackass ever premiered. When Jonny and Steve-o were driving 10k dollar cars, Bam was showing up in supercars. This created jealousy from the Big Brother crew and caused rifts between the two different crews (Big Brother/CKY) that weren't seen in the public eye. Mostly between Tremaine/Knoxville/Steve-o and Bam/Dico. When Brandon Dicamillo left he said, I refuse to buy Jeff Tremaine another 10 million dollar house. You can see the massive reduction in the thought of the skits just by watching everything before Jackass 4 and Jackass 4 itself. Jackass 4 is 90% penis and butthole jokes. Bam like many of the others was headed down a bad road leading to addiction which clearly went full throttle after the death of one of his best friends. However, this has been exacerbated by the fact that the Big Brother crew continue to be egomaniacal narcissist's who paint a false picture of the truth. They've always been jealous of Bam, never wanted him there in the first place and now Bam has helped give them the ammo to sink him while they all get ahead off what he originally built. They lie about all of it and gaslight him every chance they can get. This is why Bam challenged Knoxville. This is why he continues to spiral. It's not because he's a POS, it's because he's dealing with this reality that none of you know is the truth. Unfortunately, it seems like what Bam really needs, are REAL friends.

as someone who struggled with sobriety myself especially when I was younger I really hope bam can pull a turn around but I know that's so much harder as someone gets older. Jail time (unfortunately took 3 times to sink in and a threat to doing more serious time) and rehab were exactly what I needed, if I could have I would have locked myself in a bunker to get away from my substance abuse but unfortunately it took going into withdrawals and almost dying multiple times after my 3rd arrest to finally be willing to go to rehab.
same.
I'm 42 and still struggling, I don't drink anymore but I've replaced with weed and amphetamine. I just enjoy weed but amphetamine helped me come off drink. But after a few years of amphetamine use obviously I'm finding it hard to stop completely because of boredom and situation. I take my hat off to anyone that admits they have or had a problem. I've spent most of my adult life justifying my substance use rather than admitting anything.
Thats great to hear buddy, Glad you made changes before it could of taken your life or someone else's.
@@jasontaffyboiweetchy1015 Unfortunately it happens to alot of us, acknowledging to yourself your an addict is a good first step, i hope you decide soon to get the help you need to turn yourself around and live your life without that ball and chain weighing you down and holding you back.

You guys are slamming Steve-O pretty hard for holding his friend accountable. “Oh Steve-o was on drugs and yet he’s shaming Bam, Steve-O is being a hypocrite mehhh” NEWS FLASH: he didn’t get clean because people just let him get away with shitty behavior. He probably had people give him really tough love to push him to the point of HAVING to get clean. What’s he supposed to do? Sit there and say “wow bam haha so funny drugs are bad but whatever have a great life” absolutely not! In order for bam to get his life together, he needs accountability and friends that will give him tough love. As a former addict myself, I know from experience that those are the friends you hate in the moment but love when you look back and realized their tough love and accountability saved your fucking life.
Why’s he so happy about it?
Yeh. Doesn't look one bit concerned about his "friend"
I’m sure he’s concerned but bam has done this more than once. He’s been offered help multiple times. You can only save someone from a burning house so many times before it gets hopeless
Dude, right?
Because this had been happening for decades. Everybody is over trying to help him or be concerned. They have tried everything and it bam doesn’t give a fuck
He's not happy about it. He's probably used to it now.

Good job Steve for yourself, your friend is in trouble.
And he still living life and he crazy no one is Steve o
@@daryldixon3685 correct, getting off something your body and mind are literally depending on is pretty hard. You can fucking die from some withdrawals.
I feel bad for Bam’s son. There is going to be no easy way to explain who his dad is to him when he’s older
He has a lot of footage to get to k ow him Because that's all that's going to be left pretty soon ,not trying to be a dik but if bam don't get sober thats gonna be his legacy to his kid
who his dad "was"
Can’t believe a woman out there was stupid enough to give him a child.
Steve-O in his 20's is where Bam is now and Bam in his 20's is where Steve-O is now. It's crazy to see how the paradigm has shifted.
Pain will do that to you
I think Steve-Os probably in a better place than Bam has ever been. Not financially, but just in general
@@UHcougs22 Bam's childhood was awesome tbf
@@sc1338 wdym? Genuinely, just being civil here. Yes, Bam suffered the loss of his best friend....12 years ago. Yes, it was heartbreaking for him, and I'm sure it always will be, but Dunn died of alcoholism, Steve-O also mentioned he believes this to be true in an interview he was on. Bam has been provided with the best possible care at his disposal and he just fucks it up by his own accord, time and time again. It's not even about Dunn anymore. It's about his selfishness. I get addiction & alcoholism, as I'm in recovery from both. To say that what's happened has gotten out of control would be an understatement... he has a kid, he has a family, he has people who love & care about him. He's been given more tools, more chances, etc. than Steve-O was given.
Like that word paradigm
Have you guys ever thought that maybe you all and his family are triggers to him? You can't help someone that doesn't want help.
Then bam is just the weakest person ever. Steve-O was a notorious drug addict and everyone couldn’t stand him or his actions yet here he his clean and sober and the happiest he’s been. Bam doesn’t have any excuse . He can’t keep falling back on Ryan’s death as a reason for his behavior
@@fitforaspidey729
The weakest? I wouldn't call someone not wanting to get sober "weak".
You can't really compare stevo and bam. They have two different upbringings. Two different families. Two different types of triggers. Do you consider every addict that has died too weak to survive?
Everyone needs to stop comparing him to everyone else or every other person's addiction.
He earned his money. If he wants to spend it on drugs, That's his prerogative. If he wants to spend it on an attorney to prove that he's not on drugs, That's his prerogative too.
@@Wizeup881 agreed everybody thinks they know what is right for Bam and he needs to figure it out for himself and was on that path by himself tell the family and stupid "Lima" put him in the Florida shuffle 9 times to 9 different places with No communication with anyone and just how was that going to help? Bam has asked online for everyone to see for help from Lamar.
Your statement is almost contradicting your question
@Anastasia Ryker yes. Every addict that dies was too weak to survive. Infact, ANYONE that dies for ANY reason was too weak to survive. If a passenger jet crashes into my head and it inevitably kills me.. guess what... I was too weak to survive
Steveos philosophy of recovery and the way they laugh and ponder about ways they could set him up to use so he gets sent to jail is the most fucked up and sick thing. He needs to stay Far Far away from this circle of people. I hope he finds actual and legitimate treatment and support and people who care and will really listen to him. Something it seems like he hasnt had in a really long time.
Amen girl. a logical person in these comments is few and far between....atleast he has BJ Investigates!
Ive said this a thousand times.
He wants to die on meth in the woods
You really have no idea what you are talking about. Any recovering addict would actually agree with Steveo. I’m one of them.
@@ronthorn3 recovering addicts aren't all the same person, but I'm glad you found something that works for you.
I appreciate the fact that steveo says “that WE haven’t tried yet” it just shows that he’s always been on bams side”
Heartbreaking.. But, there's nothing anyone can do, if he doesn't want help..
She's not looney. She's calling people out. Like that creepy chick that messed with Amanda from soft white underbelly.
Amanda literally died under creepy Lima's "care"... BJ is a brilliant woman!!! ironic that a failed clown is calling an ivy league lawyer LoOnEy
Right!! A loonie lawyer that cares 😒
BJ is amazing !! Intelligent & motivated. Looney?? Look in the mirror Dude
For real.
Wow, I can’t believe he said that shit.
He doesn't need to be in jail. Thats gross.
Well, somethings got to give. If Bam can't figure out a way to fix himself, maybe jail is what is necessary to scare him into changing his negative ways.
@@danman6669 doesn’t work for everyone. Some people take the trauma and go further into drugs to cope. Plus jail is full of drugs. Some people feel so hopeless and so much self hatred that the drugs are just a slow “unaliving”. If you feel you have no reason to live why stop. He has to have proper mental health treatment and jail will not do that.
Unfortunately jail is the only place that can help some people get clean. Ike Turner & many others have said so themselves.
Let him overdose then
Lmao clean. You ain't been in jail prison
3:50 Steve-O making a point here I see a lot of people swear up-and-down isn’t true. He might make a podcast clip with a flashy title when Bam’s publicly antagonizing him, but he really isn’t interested in making money off his friend’s suffering. For a man willing to shill out butt wipes and hot sauce I feel like it shows integrity and care for his former friend to scrap that footage
It’s hard to see Steve-O truly being “done” with trying to help a friend. Not everyone is a success story unfortunately but it’s good to see Steve-O continue to be a great example.
Everyone has tried, why keep trying if they refuse smfh... he's made his bed now he can lie in it. DONCHEADLE
Beating a drug addiction is just one part of a better life a huge step but trying to be a good person is just as important & Stevo after beating his addiction seems to be talking down instead of inspiring
I'm am so surprised and amazed at steves journey. Continued success Steve
Go stevie
@@A-ROD-oe8wlno he's being straight forward, having expectations and holding his friend accountable. An addict needs love and understanding yes, but they also need to be held accountable and not encouraged in their negative behavior.
"Accept me as my toxic self just because" isn't acceptable.
So glad that Steve looks so healthy and he got the devil off his back - he tried to help Bam but ultimately he can't - sad - but so proud of Steve he looks great happy for him - always smiling ❤
Yes. Life is short. Let's be honest, like Steve-O, we all do crazy stuff that would either hurt or kill us when we were younger.
But, as we get older, time will tell us to stop doing crazy shit. If only we have time machines to go back in time either to scold or beat the hell out of ourselves so we can stop doing crazy stuff.
*"My client is presumed innocent," van der Veen (Bam's lawyer) said. "The rumors that have been being passed around by his brother through this last week have been nothing short of defamation and that will be handled in another courthouse." He got a lawyer, turned himself in & "a judge arraigned the reality star and he was then released on signature bond, according to court records. Margera faces a preliminary hearing in May."*
This youtube page is as reliable as his source, tmz.
failed clown 🤡 is a shill and fake friend. who da thunk!!
💕
Steve o appears to be in cahoots with this network of parasites looking to suck bams bank account dry, THAT is what’s sad. Most would be driven to some vice under such betrayal. If you break down each ‘intervention’ by police reports/body cam footage/court filings it’s plain to see Bam is being manipulated by those closest to him not unlike Britney Spears. @thatsurprisewitness compiled all these legal documents and is an IVY LEAGUE LAW SCHOOL GRADUATE. And you guys are gonna believe this Ringling Clown College grad when he calls her a “LUNATIC.” 😂😂😂 The irony. These defamatory lies make me see Steve o entirely differently. Not that I ever looked up to him… I mean, cmon. And now look at him and Novak high-horsing now that they’re just around the bend 💩🤡 some “friends”…
What do you expect the lawyer to say? Yep bam did it? Lmfao
Steve-O is 100% right here - the only thing that's going to stop Bam is getting arrested and involuntarily sober. It's a hell of an effort to get sober after you've been addicted for so long so my hat is continually off for Steve-O for recognizing himself that he needed to change. Sadly, Bam isn't there yet but hope he gets there.
Look how happy stevo is to talk about bams problems, he loves it and damn!! What a bunch of gossiping bs
with friends like this who needs enemies??
He loves clout chasing and making money off his name yet he tries to act like he's a king because he's sober
Soooo don't talk about the crazy meth shit that's going on while your friend is running through the woods...just keep quiet 👀

@@eeriebb Who cares about the law in a third world country?
"I've never actually been to reddit before" me too Steve-O, me too.
?????
Right he’s such a liar
The road to hell is paved with good intentions- All of the people talking about bam and "trying to help" need to just let him go. You can't force another person to do anything. I honestly feel like he's being backed into a corner and that makes people desperate and suicidal. 🤷🏻♂️
I disagree with the idea to call for support to be abandoned when he seems to be struggling the most. I do understand that it can be borderline-impossible to help a person so far gone but to call for people to "let him go"? You don't think Steve appreciated the help when he was struggling?
I see what you’re saying but keep in mind steve-o was forced to go to rehab, basically kidnapped
@@oddfutureplaylist They're 2 different people.
Nope, show grace. You show no empathy or life experience.
Wise words form Steve O, the dude has really come around and everyone is glad he's come out shining on the other side.
I love Steve-O and I’m on his side of everything to do with Bam and he was the reason I got sober but I truthfully think Steve-o needs to just stop talking about Bam
probably goes both ways.
@@dickwadd6190 Bam definitely isn’t a good guy but I hate saying it cause I’m a big Steve-o fan but it’s starting to feel like Steve-o is using Bam for content when he runs out of ideas. When content is slow and his podcast drops views he always brings up Bam and makes sure to put it in the title
stroooongly agree. these are some heavy long term issues. i dont see how putting a spotlight on bam is gonna help him or his family.
Well he quite clearly needs to address it
@@Ukraineaissance2014 needing to and wanting to are different things when only one of them is only done for views
bam's life is like watching a never ending car wreck in slow motion.
Ben Gravy will save him!!
I'm not sure them talking about it publicly helps the situation. He obviously sees this, and it just makes him more manic. Especially if this may be now a police matter. I'm not on team Bam at all btw. It's just an observation. I'm glad they called Steveo out here for saying he was sober on the podcast. That was demonstrably false.
Right?
Steve-o doesn't look the same at all. I know he's aged, but I mean this in a good way. He looks better than ever.
Who needs enemy's when you have friends like this...
Real friends do this. Real friends know that sometimes tough love is what is required to get their friends to change their negative habits.
So you'd rather his friends feed into his addiction so he can further kill himself? Huh some friends you must have LOL
Agreed
@@danman6669 no they don’t. Real friends don’t make money off each other.
AMEN
I really hope Bam can get into a program that works for him. He deserves a healthy and happy life
You can only lead a horse to water. A program could have the best treatment in the world but if the person doesn't want to be better, they simply won't be affected. It has to come from within.
He was always pretty annoying
@@libertarianpunk8558 shut up
he doesnt deserve shit. you get what you make of life
Does he tho? He's a total dick head lmao
Only kidding. We all deserve a chance at life
Is Bam's family talking to TMZ? That's bad form, like really, can the guy not even trust his Mom? Can I just say Steve-o can't hide how much he loves that this is happening. Apparently Bam punched his brother in the face so his brother rang the police. Should you punch someone? Fuck no! Not okay Bam, but not many brothers I know would ring the police if their brother punched them, they'd just punch them back. Also he has not been the same since his friend died. Nobody can help Bam, that's his choice, he has to decide to do it for himself. FYI, they're talking out of their asses, That Surprise Witness did not know he was on meth if he is at all, but he was handed a drink of alcohol during the interview, she says this on her podcast if they'd bother to watch it to actually get the facts, but they would they do that right?
they have to pu$h their agenda!!! make money off their best buddie$ problem$$$$
Here's the truth: Bam was the spoiled brat a.d.d. kid with the kind of parents that let him get away with anything and bought him anything. This can be seen in his personality even to this day. However.....Bam created CKY in the late 90s. CKY was a national treasure and Bam and crew were household names by the year 2000 among kids 12-25. CKY was everywhere. When Tremaine and Knoxville went to MTV with their Knoxville video, MTV wasn't interested unless CKY and all of it's popularity could be brought on board. Skating had been growing in massive popularity across the US but especially in the midwest in the mid 90s. Today, the crew from Big Brother magazine would love for you all to believe that Big Brother was this big hit in the way that CKY was. It Was Not! In fact, outside of LA virtually no one had heard of Big Brother magazine. So, the CKY crew is brought on board. MTV licenses footage from CKY and CKY2k for Jackass. Go watch the Jackass tv show now on Paramount, or watch the first Jackass movie. Most of the footage is cut and paste right out of CKY or skits from CKY are reshot with the new crew. IE. The Rental Car. Bam was the head writer and creator for Jackass and the licenses purchased by MTV as well as the CKY money not only helped him settle lawsuits over CKY but they made him rich before Jackass ever premiered. When Jonny and Steve-o were driving 10k dollar cars, Bam was showing up in supercars. This created jealousy from the Big Brother crew and caused rifts between the two different crews (Big Brother/CKY) that weren't seen in the public eye. Mostly between Tremaine/Knoxville/Steve-o and Bam/Dico. When Brandon Dicamillo left he said, I refuse to buy Jeff Tremaine another 10 million dollar house. You can see the massive reduction in the thought of the skits just by watching everything before Jackass 4 and Jackass 4 itself. Jackass 4 is 90% penis and butthole jokes. Bam like many of the others was headed down a bad road leading to addiction which clearly went full throttle after the death of one of his best friends. However, this has been exacerbated by the fact that the Big Brother crew continue to be egomaniacal narcissist's who paint a false picture of the truth. They've always been jealous of Bam, never wanted him there in the first place and now Bam has helped give them the ammo to sink him while they all get ahead off what he originally built. They lie about all of it and gaslight him every chance they can get. This is why Bam challenged Knoxville. This is why he continues to spiral. It's not because he's a POS, it's because he's dealing with this reality that none of you know is the truth. Unfortunately, it seems like what Bam really needs, are REAL friends.
@@mrrooster4876 Make sense to me.

This guy has it every opportunity in the world, has the money has the resources and still plays victim. I honestly don’t feel bad for Bam Margera you can only help somebody who wants to be helped.
Definitely hear what your saying but Addiction is a MF
Yeah and he doesn’t and that’s his American given rite
@@catiecody4102 I can't even fathom the brainworms you must have to take a case of somebody failing to take any personal responsibility for their life, to the detriment of their family and young child...and twisting that into some kind of oblivious commentary on the essence of being American or whatever absolutely goofy shit you just said, lol holy fuck...
So everybody see:
Health > wealth
Money and fame does not in any way negate being miserable inside. You seem to believe that "He has money, so he MUST be happy or he is just a whining bitch." Which also suggest that if you are ever upset, that is legit because you do not have that. You say he has all the money and resources. My question becomes money and resources to do what? Cure being miserable? If someone invented that, I am pretty sure I would have heard of it. Going to a fancy detox spa does nothing at all. There is no resource one can use to magically want to be sober. Either you want it, or you don't.
Makes me sad. You grow up with these guys and you almost feel like they are a part of your life. I know this has to be breaking Steve O's heart, because I've never even met Bam, and it bums me out. Anybody that is truly into the Jackass world, has probably lost friends at some point, to drugs or alcohol. It's tough to see someone like him, with soooo much support around him constantly drown. It's never too late. Still rooting for Bam, but jail at this exact moment, could be a blessing for him. Much admiration for Steve O. Everyone should be fortunate enough, to have a friend like him
i thought that until i met steve o last year...he was a fuckin dick. He's a hypocrite
I swear bam has had one of the most epic self destructive downfalls of all time ... alot of ppl dont take a fall so hard and live through it
Britney did and there's another similarity - being locked up against their will. No one would come out of that positively - you can't force anyone to change. Stevo is disgusting to talk about him on TH-cam. Profiting off someone's poverty porn is just the lowest.
I don't think he's going to live through it much longer. He looks awful and these incidents keep happening more often.
@@sophierv7858Robert Downey Jr. had a pretty brutal downfall. A lot of people thought he was going to die....
everyone has a good points u can have a big downfall once and make it through it but bams had several chances .. i hope he finds his way back but shit the way back gets further away the farther u travel a troubled road
All you people act like sobriety makes you some kind of superstar. You're likely now just an average person doing average stuff. You're human, not special. Congratulations.
Shout-out to ‘That Surprise Witness’.
He said when dunn died ,that he would never be the same... That was true
Fucking wild that Steve O can be so recovered and not respect someones choice to stay or not stay sober. The loony lady was right about Britney.
Seriously, this absolutely blew my mind. Has he forgotten all the dumb shit he did? He’s a sanctimonious prick these days.
True friends don't just sit back and watch as their friends destroy themselves. They take action and show tough love and that's what Steve-O is doing here.

The more weeks that pass, the more you realise that Steve-O is right. Prison would genuinely be the safest place for Bam right now. You can check yourself out of rehab (which is what Bam did), you can't check yourself out of prison
Rethink your comment
@kibakillz6399 Why? What alternative is there left? What haven't Bam's friends and family tried to do to help him? If he won't change on his own, if his willpower is simply insufficient, and if he keeps making a criminal out of himself, what then? If you truly think there is another way we're all ears. Also, you gave mo reason for your comment.
Seems like Steve-O is more worried about looking like a “good” friend to the public than he is making sure his friend is good..
Exactly. Steve-o is what you call a hypocrite.
100% Steve-o only cares about money and selling his self image.
The “looney lady” that interviewed Bam has a channel called BJ investigates. It sounds like he just wants to look good and make her sound bad. She made a really good series on him that has him really mad. I think I heard he is trying to sue her for it.
These videos make him look like a shitty friend once you listen to the “looney lady” she’s a lawyer who dug up the truth and they didn’t like that
I have a bad feeling that this isn't gonna end well
I agree. It’s so sad seeing old footage of Bam and just seeing where he is now. Didn’t see this coming at all.
Bam turned himself in to the PA state police this morning
You are right, I’ve seen this too many times, hope I’m wrong.
When you smoke meth things don’t end well usually
if he dies that will help his legacy. I mean if he had died years ago ; we wouldn't have had to watch him turn into Don Vito and Phil
How much you wanna bet Steve O and Bam’s family make money sending tips to TMZ.
ABSOLUTELY. Lest we forget the TMz employee testimonials from Depp V Heard!!! They're using BAM and I hope he sues the shit out of all of em
They’re all making money off Jackass ip. And Jackass wouldn’t exist without Bam.
So many famous ppl utilise it: it’s known.
Courtney love was one of first to be known she utilised the media…
Also Chris Cornell’s wife does the same..:.
I think a lot so
What like 5k for a story about someone nobody gives a shit about anymore? You really think a story about a failed loser Star like bam is worth any $? Lmao
not everything is a fuckin conspiracy. bam's parents are some of the most wholesome people on earth. gimme a fucking break
Bam is a grown man and should be accountable for his actions nobody would be sitting here talking about him if he just straightened up his crap and that is pure honesty and truth
people like to watch train wrecks and act like they are supportive on the interwebs tho
Accountability is a great thought, but addiction is a mental disease that becomes physical. It just happens much more publicly than other strictly physical diseases. Not excusing what he’s done but Bam isn’t where he is simply because he’s acting out and refuses to get his act together.
If Steve-O can get sober then Bam can get sober, he's technically a grown man but he's just a little kid who didn't have to grow up so I feel no sympathy for his spoiled ass
@@FabeardulousKnucks he has a lot more issues than just addiction mate
@@pariah87 that’s true. Most of those issues I’d venture a guess are what caused his addiction and continue to feed said addiction. NO ONE wants to be an addict, whether they act like they do or not. Being an addict is an absolute living hell. I’m not excusing any of his nonsense, but a little empathy and understanding of others goes a long way. Unfortunately we seem to be regressing in this country and not looking at root causes of issues. We just bitch about the symptoms. We all need to do a lot better.
Man I hope the best for Bam! I remember watching him skating as a kid..he's still an inspiration somewhat despite all the stuff. I am an alcoholic myself and although I take it pace by pace it is still affecting my life.

I was hoping that he was on the mend when he filmed that documentary about Ryan's death and him restarting in Spain or wherever it was but now I fear he's got a sliver of hope and that's himself, I mean, if losing his friends, his parents basically disowning him and losing his wife & kid is in enough. I don't know what it is. Most addiction specialist and ex addicts will tell you only you can make you get sober. I hope the best for him though sincerely

@@anthonydemaio4631 he said it's better for him to be in jail that way he won't be able to hurt himself or others. By that logic all of jackass should have been jailed for their own protection. Stevo wants a man's freedom taken away so he can sleep better and not have to worry about another man.
Bam needs a reality check, so if going to jail finally makes him change his negative habits, then it's for the best.

Surely Steve-O has an intimate enough of a history with Bam that he is surely coming from a place of love and exhaustion. To criticize SO for wanting his friend to get possibly the only intervention that could save him is ignorant.
Wow, a bit surprised by Stevo. Usually he takes the high road.
He’s sick of bams methed out bullshit. If you’ve ever dealt with someone doin ice you’d understand. Eventually you just say fuck this crazy dude I gotta move on. Bam needs to go to jail for a bit. Nothing else will ever work . Clearly
What do you want him to do?
This is neither the high nor low road, but the honest road.
Gossiping about your long time friend is trash. I always hated Bam, and now Steve-o is an untrustworthy rat narcissist exposing other people for views/money. The whole Jackass cast turned out to be dirtbags.
After all the shit Bam has done to relapse and try his hardest to stay addicted, what more do you want from him, someone can only stay supportive for so long before you just have to sit back and let them handle themselves.
