Bam Margera Spent An Entire Year In Rehab - Steve-O's Wild Ride! Ep  

2022 huh?

Also Novak

Crazy isn’t it! He has done so well!!!

@@jab4188 So glad Novak got sober hes one talented and on to it guy, sucks the the H got him for so long but damn he looks in good health now, my GF told me shed drop me for him in a heartbeat haha so thats nice to know

Fucking seriously!!

There's a couple of men in my group like this. I look at them after 30-50 years of sobriety and my jaw drops at who they were. They've come so far and done so much for the world. It'd be neat to see Steve in a meeting one day. Just because I know his story. I'd love to pick his brain on sobriety.

Most of his craziness is filmed because of his obsession with filming everything so it wont take much time to convince them

@@justlift213 Just what I was gonna say. He is a marketing genius and recorded a majority of his life. It'll be so easy to make a 2nd documentary about him when he turns 50, then a 4th documentary about him when he tries to do a kick flip and dies at 83.

I have a feeling he will never stop doing crazy shit

But then they'll watch the footage

Spot on

This is almost an hour long and I somehow read your comment EXACTLY right when he said it.... 🤔

@@TheChrisSimpson Happened to me so many times, it's freaky man

I literally am still in recovery and its been since 3/11/2020 and pretending is obvious for any alcoholic. you get soo good at lying that everyone including yourself believes it until you meet a recovering alcoholic. Then it becomes crystal clear you are lying.

​@Chris Simpson same here! I just left a meeting a little while ago and heard the comment right as I read it. Freaky..

keep going man, for not only yourself but your family as well. im cheering you on bro ❤️

Im sorry you’re having to go through this man. You are extremely strong and everything will work out. Much love

Good for you, man! That's strength. I'm sorry you lost your home but glad you and your family made it through safely. It sucks, but things can be replaced, people can't.

No offense bro but if you have the money to have the luxury to still afford bars then you are not in that bad of a situation

@@captainz454 holy shit what an unnecessarily toxic and moronic reply to a really positive, wholesome thread here lol

Keep it up man. 🙏👍

Keep going!!

Good for you brother. Keep it up. ❤️

Keep going bro!.. you got this! Fuck partying!

One day at a time.

Nah he's self righteous

That’s good you to believe. He’s just looking out for his buddy.

@@ra4259 no he isn’t he just doesn’t want his friends to die

Steve-O's been right there in Bam's chair, probably multiple times and can clearly see through Bam's half truths. Bam is no where near the finish line and still angry, sad and still fighting demons and Steve-O knows it. Call it what you want but it's all love at the end of the day and it's time drive home the hard reality of Bam's continuous downward spiral

@@republicofcasuals This. Bam has definitely made some progress but he’s still blaming other people for his fuckups. He’s got a LONG way to go still.

Does marijuana counts😂?

Yeah, I’ve been in Steve-O’s shoes and it’s heartbreaking. I hope things turn around for Bam.

@17:36

I want Steve-O as a personal life coach.

Yeah there's no BSing Steve-O ... Dude been in the trenches and seen it all, and I appreciate his wisdom and sometimes brutal honesty.

@@bruciebrucedunndonette1786 That would be so annoying but effective.

But he does it so eloquently and lands the punches super softly only the way Steve-O can.

Mm there’s a fine line between being brutally honest and being judgemental which is a big no no if you’ve ever studied or done DBT (dialectical behaviour therapy). Each person is on their own journey and one addicts story and perception is different from the next. Steve-o seems more insincere and more interested in his own opinion because ‘Steve-o knows everything’

@@gg-xb5pu Being rich doesn't solve every problems you have.

@@gg-xb5pu lol he literally has this problem because he’s rich. never not able to get ahold of drugs

@@gg-xb5pu you thinking being rich solves everything sounds like something a “brokie” would say

Steve is just worrying for another human he loves who he considers family!!!

I don't think he's heartbroken, I think he's proud of what Bam has accomplished so far and giving him sound advice how to continue on the straight and narrow.

I'm bam. It's so hard to be sober. I wish I was SteveO

Not everyone is just saying things people want to hear. Some of us actually believe what we're saying and go back anyway. I think there is some people who just don't get sober and there's no chance for them. I'm about to go into detox tomorrow I've been in and out of these places for 8 years now trying hardest to quit and going backm

You obviously never dealt with substance abuse ..go head lie and say you have

@@Dark-fu2ww see me and you are the real ones

@@ponaliramos9773 facts bro

Well that's one of two options. Either you grow from it, or it consumes you. I too wish the best for Bam.

I believe!

he speaks like a sponsor. You can tell stevo has done some significant work on himself in AA

@@emilykileylawlor2071 It's a load of bullshit. The only reason people change is because of themselves. Addiction is not real. Dependency and avoidance are. People need to face the fire of reality, or be consumed by it.

I think it’s because it takes one to be one

I've seen bam recently on tiktok with not the best crowd. I dont think this conversation helped unfortunately

@@shawnskates damn. What kind of crowd May I ask? Hope he finds peace ☮️

Almost made me tear up too. Felt his genuine concern and desire in his plea. Hope nothing but the best for him and his friend Bam.

@@michaelgroskopf9878 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zevSDSg3Q7c.html

Great so let's have Steve o prop himself up on his friends struggling!!!! Fuck that!!! You wanna know the truth...In a sociopathic way because that's all ppl in recovery have anymore I'm sure he loves parading his struggling old business partners around just like they did to him when he was fucked up!!! Now he's "trying to help" but it feels like he wants to rub sobriety in ppls face like hey member when you used to pay me to fuck my life up??? Well now he's getting paid doing stupid podcast!!!! Btw AA and na is anonymous program so quit airing shit out all over the internet!!! Last thing AA needs is Steve-O as our guiding light and rolemodel

I lose respect everytime I listen to Steve-O praising sobriety on one hand then on other standing around tailgate with all the old squad talking about good old days!!!! He's about 6months from relapse..He just hasn't gotten high yet

@@darenhayes7506 You can talk about the past without going right back to being the person you were at the time. Steve-o's been sober for over a decade, he isn't relapsing any time soon.

Yup

He still doesn't want to see how serious this is...its frustrating!

@@monymiller4005 Look at the life style he's lived & the people around him, Bams already stated before he would pretty much take any pill anyone would offer him along with enablers on the side. Lived the life of multiple by his early 20s, money,fame,drugs, countless brain injuries, & dealing with deaths can take a toll on someone's mentality.

Making fun of the roommates in rehab is a lack of humility. You have to humble yourself to get sober. He still has a lot of work to do.

It’s kinda like he wants it and he doesn’t. Everyone around him parties. So he would have to leave that all behind. Easier said than done.

Bams a savage and rich af

A friend who is exploiting him for more revenue stream. Let’s be honest.

@@allwayscgood576 bam is smart. He knows

@@allwayscgood576 i didn't see it that way at all. I don't think Steve-o needs more of a revenue stream. He is doing just fine on his own. And if it was about that, he would have released this podcast sooner when the Bam conversation was more of a popular topic.

@@FaliciaNecole a podcast taped in May released now to “set the record straight”. A LOT has happened since May rendering this disingenuous at best. Not buying it. Steve-O is self motivated.

9 years, that’s awesome! I have two months and can’t wait to be able to say 1 year let alone 9 and more. It’s work but well worth it and life is already so much better and will continue to improve every day. Best wishes.

@@dickhitswater4836 Always remember that each minute, hour and day is a victory for you. Times will get hard and easier at times. Just do what ever you need to do to keep getting better everyday. It is possible.

I got clean from Adderall for one year but recently went back to my doctor to get more I just couldn't handle an unaltered reality

@@unknownanon4993 you just have to try every day and tell yourself that that medicine doesn’t make how you are. No matter the effect it makes you feel. Only you and your mind make you so you are. It is a hard thing to do, don’t get me wrong, but what everyone needs to understand if you put in the work and don’t give up you can get clean and don’t need medication to make you “ok”. Reach out to local meetings and tell them you need help. They will be happy to do it

Was it also God who made him an addict? Just curious.

Amen!

he was high in the interview, on opioids, has a broken bone, he is not sincere , steve knows and steve wont make any content with him until he is

I don't think Steve o comes off as sincere at all in this interview 🙄

@John Doughy sometimes I feel like there's nothing you can say to that person because they're not ready or they're just not going to do it you can say anything until you're fucking blue in the face it sucks and they'll get clean and dirty clean and dirty I'm still not 100% clean but I'm not doing heroin I'm not doing Fentanyl so every day I'm not doing that is it better day I'm also only drinking like maybe every 4 to 5 months and when I do I only drink like six beers before that I was drinking 30 beers every other day just to love to be hungover the next because I didn't want to do any drugs cuz I was sick I started to love being hungover that's messed up I never thought that I would be this sober now I control the alcohol I can actually pick up a beer and drink it and then I will have the urge to grab more but that urge will go away is it playing with fire no because they're sometimes I plan on like okay this is then how the night's going to go I'm going to drink six or seven beers and then I'm going to trip on some mushrooms and that's what I do and again I only do that maybe every 4 to 5 months I think moderation is very important if you can do that some people cannot do that if they have a drink or a beer they will drink every day again but something happened to me I don't know what something changed me I was working on my anger for like 5 years maybe that's what it was or just something switched and I was like no I'm not letting alcohol control me AA or na didn't work I didn't like the philosophy or some of the rules they had I like some of the ideas but I feel like people get addicted to that they need to go to a meeting they need to go to the meeting it just becomes their new addiction which I mean it's better than the alternative but I wouldn't want to have to depend on anything eventually except the medication for my panic attacks that unfortunately I think I'm going to be stuck with the rest of my life and I've came to terms with that unfortunately unless I can figure out not to have panic attacks but it wouldn't be caused by thoughts and I know I'm rambling on here but I could be having the best day ever not have a single thought in my head and then all of a sudden I feel like I'm dying it's weird then sometimes a thought can cause it but it's mostly just random most random thing ever and I think it's because I abused drugs that such a young age mainly ecstasy that screwed me up hard I mean I think that was probably the best drug I've ever did it made me truly love everyone it would make me love my enemy I never felt that before that much love for everything and everyone I mean obviously it was fake but it wasn't because the serotonin my body was getting released like crazy I fell in love with it then there was a point where two double Stacks wouldn't do shit so then I would take four that wouldn't do much then I started becoming dumb luckily somehow my brain kind of rewired itself because some people get stuck they call them etards and I was like that for a while still probably am in some ways anyways I got to shut up

@John Doughy yeah sorry about that that's how my channel is too like I just ramble on and on and on it's interesting but with zero punctuations good luck deciphering it

Same bro, been struggling for 15 years. Now I’m 30 month free. Close yet far!

Congratulations by the way, that’s amazing.

@@mattygeno stay strong bro it’s definitely worth it. Congratulations to you too.

@@randygod1 There’s no other option bro! Stay in it, even on those ugly days ❤️

@@mattygeno for sure! It’s all worth it in the end

Growth should be the name of the game, Chris.

exactly

Steve o is definitely more level headed now but does not have capability of sponsorship or any of that yet because all he does is sit there and talk about the dumbass shit he used to do with a smile on his face....And brings friends that are struggling still on camera and make them feel like shit because they aren't there yet!!!! Omg let's all say standard shit!!! Go to meeting and get a sponsor!!!! News flash none of that matters unless the real inner self is actually taking action everyday to keep moving forward!!! A sponsor would never suggest going around ppl you used to use with and talk about the good old days!!!! Trainwrecks coming

Eating plant-based helps a ton too. He and Schwarzenegger are 2 pretty good examples for that.

Even back then steve-o seemed like a good egg. Like the type to roast you and make fun of you, but then gives you the shirt off his back if you ask, no questions asked.

well I think he is for the sake of not getting into a fight but I would have been even harsher. I would have told him even after a year he needs more time from seeing how angry and jealous he stil is either that or his Re-hab sucks .

Exactly! He isn't sugar coating it but also isn't communicating in a demeaning way. Everyone needs someone like Steve-o

SteveO is dismissing him. That’s not ok.

@@snicksabea it doesn’t seem like dismissal to me. Bam needs to be held accountable and should not take this as a joke. If bam didn’t want this uploaded I’m sure steveo would have respected that.

@@009trance SteveO is dismissing many statements Bam said. Those are facts.

@@snicksabea maybe he’s a bit dismissive when Bam is laughing off and glamorizing his addiction stories. Not such a bad thing.

@@009trance I feel as if you’re not seeing the big picture. No worries. Have a good day.

You can tell Steve o is incredibly frustrated because he realizes that Bam takes absolutely no responsibility for his own actions and has absolutely no insight into his own condition. Bam continuously lays the blame on others for his problems and keeps trying to turn every conversation into a bit instead of directly addressing his own shortcomings.

You are so right, i lost both of my parents to alcoholism 10 years apart. I stay away from alcohol because i literally watched my mom die a slow death in the hospital in her final days

2 steps forward 1 step back .. it's a long road especially for someone like Bam who has more than 1 type of demon to battle. I feel hopeful because he has gotten a taste of what being sober is for the first time in probably 20 years. Hopefully that will give him the drive and motivation to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

@@Filthy-Felon right 👍

When he talked about moving facilities and going back to square 1 and him not taking responsibility for why he was being moved in the first place said a lot. It’s a long road and we all have our journey. I wish him luck but he still has work to do

I was hoping somebody in the comments would say this. I can honestly say that I know where he’s at. Praying for all of us at this point.

Explain. What do you mean tho. "Ah ha I told y'all I could get clean" moment ?

Spot on. He hasn't begin to touch the reason for his addiction, he can't be alone with himself

Yeah that’s a good analogy. As much as I hate to say it, but if Dunn would still be alive. I think Dunn and Bam would be even worse with alcohol, with that being said, Bam would be happy, but I think alcohol would of gotten worse without him really knowing it.

That’s why I was always the host when I was actively an addict. Now I have 7+ years sober. Which I’m ever so grateful for.

Bam is the guy trying to relieve his good old days when he was popular and ontop of world Ryan's passing really gave him mentally another reason to spiral out of control

Facts

An (ex-)friend of us stopt drinking after abusing whiskey and vodka for years (from morning till evening). Now she is sober thanks to therapy and proper medication and couldn't be happier for her more. But in the end she got really judgemental, verbally agressive and stuck up towards anyone who would drink a glass near her (cafés, weddings, terraces...). We never drank when she was with us. One day she insisted we all never drank again if we wanted to be friends with her. Mentally she was far from recovered of alcohol.

I agree,Steve O is really trying to lay it out for him,you can tell he cares,he wants him to understand how important this thing is,I certainly hopes he can pick up what he is putting down.

Did you mean 'condescending'?

@@destructionman1 condescending?

@@destructionman1 No he meant condensing as in "tries to hammer it home without being more concentrated"

I agree it was instant. The breaking his wrist for 11th time wore right on his face. Steve’s face looked like that is 9 times too many.

Keep on the great work, congrats!

That's really awesome. Stay strong in your journey ✨️ 💪 💕

Congratulations on making it 14 months! You're doing great!

That’s awesome! Good for you… a 10% to live is pretty bleak

Keep on keepin on, brother.

You don’t know that and also Steve O has been sober and in the program longer. Steve O definitely knows a lot more about what it means to be sober but can’t assume he cares more.

thats the AA cult mentality they dont understand the deeper reason for thier addiction (most of the time) and only focus on being sober instead of dealing with the truama in thier past that caused the problem in the first place just look at the rat park crap that shit works not people self policing themselves in little groups it works for some but it only works to stop them from using it doesnt really help with the inner demons

@@chrisrudolph6817 he must have said "what concerns me about what you're saying" 50 times while Bam downplayed all sorts of things and wouldn't take any blame for anything. It sounds to me like Steve-O doesn't believe he's going to stay sober because he's saying things that imply he's not fully committed to sobriety.

​@@chrisrudolph6817 How many times did Steve-O relapse and how long did it take for him to be on the road to recovery?

@@fuckamericanidiot Steve O's been sober 15 years without relapse. Stop trying to discredit him.

He knows him so he def could spot it I'd say he's on pain medication and he literally could say oh it's pain medication to justify it I hope bam gets better

yeah i mean the sunglasses, the slight slurring. There has been nothing but lip service so far, he doesn't look to me as if he has changed a bit yet. I wish him the best, the struggle is real. But yeah he is not behaving or talking like anyone who has changed or ready to stop blaming others and stay clean

All of us who have been there could

💯 I mean even we can tell so of course he knows. It’s so sad. I hope he makes it

@@kneel1 He's on a respirator now with COVID and pneumonia, his system is probably weak after all that alcohol for years.

Hes in a facility where he cant drink, hes just bi polar thats why he seems high

It might be the painkillers Bams’ on for his arm.

@@dr32803 Many addicts avoid opoid painkillers because it can tempt them back into their old ways. Whilst some addicts who've been sober for years can handle a doctors prescription because they've spent that time building their systems to keep them on track, Bam is very clearly NOT in that place yet, and his frequent relapses suggest he shouldn't be taking any painkillers that could potentially be used recreationally. That said every addict has their own challenges and their own lines to draw. Here's hoping that Bam can stay sober and healthy for the future 🙏

@@hecticfreeze you’re right, every addict needs or has a specific track to recovery. I hope bam comes around eventually. I can see he isn’t ready yet.

Im not 100% convinced his arm is really broken. Might just be cover for being loaded

It’s a long process.

@@garrettsaulnier2651 a lifelong process. Like Steve-O said, it is about basically reprogramming your brain and finding out a whole new way to live you're life. I'm in the process of doing that myself and fuck its hard - not gonna lie. Can't even imagine having to go through that under the scrutiny of being a celebrity when every little fuck up could end up on TMZ.

I think he’s not sober

Checking yourself into rehab willingly and competing the entire thing is a very difficult thing to do but the extremely hard thing to do is actually throwing away the addictions and becoming a new person through it all. If he can actually stay sober and learn from this experience that’s something that you can be proud of more so than graduating any college or high school but I feel like he can do it, he’s just got to want it deep down

Def lifelong. The worst thing about this is I don’t even see bam, it’s another person physically and mentally. Guys that I’ve known throughout programs and life that have put their brains through the ringer so much that damage is noticeable are in and out to the end. Their impulse controls are so altered, they need assisted or medicated assistance for any higher quality of life

nice brag.

Ur tesostrone must be very low, dont u feel like shit?/lethargic

How ya feeling bro? I’m just over 8 months clean from the same DOC’s (and tons of other drug abuse). Things are getting so much better, it’s so wild.

@@NeoDJDAN oh, Shut up

@@NeoDJDAN actually thats an amazing thing to brag about and he deserves all the praise. Dont be a bitter worm about it

He’s promoting what he knows to be a scam. One girl has already died and her death is being covered up. The broad running it isn’t even qualified.

@@LucyChews And what are you referring to so we all know what you’re talking about?!

I think it’s more about they took away his freedom to make simple choices about his life. And they’ve been denying him the right to see his child while keeping him in rehab roulette for years. That would make anyone depressed.

u can tell steve-0 knows what hes talking about. He is living proof. i want to be around people like that in my sobriety

@@snicksabea Bam had many opportunities to make a change, and he didn’t want to take them. He fled out of rehab bro!

You can tell Bam's mind is fucked at this point

I love Tycho too.

Bam honestly sounds like Don Vito when he ramps up

@@myYouTussyStank vito was Phils brother, so Bam deff got some of the grandparents dna which was kept down by young Bam until now its breaking down and coming out

He was coherent in this video?

Nailed it

He has not been sober the whole time. It's way to early. Steve o wants the clicks.

@@viking_nor can you give an in depth update since you’re obviously chillin with Bam more than Steve-O 😂

He has had the island boys and Aaron Carter...Steve O is Steve O...he shouldn't be confused for a decent human

Yeah. Steve is a little douchey about his sobriety.

I just hope its not to early. I hope bam is good ❤️

I'd love to see his stand up

Bam is way to selfish… he thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room at all times.. u can heat is arrogance n self importance when he was talking about his roommates. He thinks he is special n deserves special treatment

He has a skewed sense of reality, I’ll agree. Try to think about his life though. He became an adult while being famous for partying and doing crazy things. He’s trying to change and hopefully therapy will adjust his sense of reality. Potentially giving him a grand appreciation for those that stuck by his side while he goes through this.

The 30 second teaser I saw looked rough. I can only imagine how the full interview looks

Thats awesome. I used to watch his show all the time as a kid and I remember I had the biggest crush on him lmao. My dad was an alcoholic and passed away when I was like 15 so its really hard to watch and I can imagine for Steve O, someone that knows the work that has to go into staying sober, its pretty fricken hard to not be too aggressive because theres only so much you can do. You can't control someone and you can't force someone to want or even accept help. Sometimes I think it could come off as insulting to the person because obviously being an addict isnt a good thing and its just sad to see someone you care about not care about themselves. I hope he makes it, he seems to have a lot of people that love him and rooting for him

Exhausting talking to someone ? Holy shit are people soft these days

You’re right. And it truly makes me sad he was so pivotal in my childhood. And he doesn’t even make any sense anymore

i heard bam could be a douchebag to meet back in the day, so that's good to hear you had a good encounter

I think he seems to be enjoying the power of bam, its very strange

@@swisscheese8628 one time I hit my brother with a baseball bat and he cried

@@swisscheese8628 What power? Bam's a bumbling wreck of denial, and Steve-o is blatantly uncomfortable, yet trying his hardest to keep Bam on the topic of substance abuse, whilst also being as respectful and as polite as possible. He's doing an amazing job, and is essentially trying to be the therapist that Bam is clearly not seeing.

I cant give a better response than this. Upvote and move on. I hope Bam keeps his sobriety.

@@metakn1ght yeah I worry that Bam hasn't truly accepted responsibility for everything. Also that he hasn't accepted the idea of life long sobriety. He talks about doing sobriety like its a prison sentence... For most addicts it takes a few relapses to eliminate every way you think you could drink in a controlled manner. He has already tried to make little rules for himself and broke them. Eventually he'll have to realize that he can't have a casual relationship with booze.

100% AGREE!

Yeah Steve is not putting up with all of Bams lies. He’s quick to call him out.

@@crujones4046 Absolutely. And doing it in a way that feels very fair.

Steve-o is the new Rogan. Well except for the ad reads. his ad reads are kindo poop. lol

He’s been through it all. Honestly, most people who have been through it can see shit like that because we’ve said the same shit at some point.

Years ago ? Yes 14 years ago Steve O wasn’t able to take care of himself but now he is.

Helping others is how you help yourself

Someone killed Ryan

This video stuck me right in the heart I have been clean off of drugs for 14 years but I have been a true blue alcoholic for 3 years and I never really thought that oh sI quit drugs so I can drink and it won't be a problem well it has been a problem and just listening to this finally reiterated that I need to stop no matter what I have l do it on my own go to detox do whatever it is I have to do I have to quit I need to quit I want to see completely sober again completely free clean and sober

This

You can tell his adds he wont put down

Yeah really good. I don’t have high hopes for Bam right now. Sucks.

@sd "rarely have we seen a person fail who has throughly followed our path"

The message is anyone can get clean. I would not agree this is carrying the message. I know many people who faked it until they made it. As long as they make it. Its bams journey, and I think stevo is mistaking it for his own.

Yeppers when your at sobriety for a few years ya can tend to sift out the bullshit. I really hope he gets it.

He’s definitely not drunk but ok bro.

@@LuisMedina-ef8pm I'd more so say speed. Maybe he's taking his Adderall again. That's not sober

nahhh man. id say from being a big fan of Bam over the years he probably some form of ADD/ADHD for sure. i wouldn’t call him taking an adderal or other prescribed meds, a relapse

@@hisradiancelordnasty it's still a narcotic. I mean I hope the best for the guy. It's nice to see them all sobering up. They can inspire many to do the same

@@hansgruber9685 nah man, I totally get where you’re coming from, but I’m an addict and have watched MANY people in recovery. This is what an addict who hasn’t come to terms with being clean looks like. I 100% believe he’s clean, but I don’t see him staying clean. He still has that addict mentality.

Bam just off roaded steve-o with his "how many bone brakes" Steve is genuinely suprised, I would imagen they had a off camera deal. But Bam said screw that shhhh!

@@Tanwolly You're right, he didn't stay clean after this was recorded, but he's back on a good path again.

Agreed

Honestly he doesn’t seem all there. Probably gave himself brain damage

@@provisionalhypothesis Bam has always been a giant man child. Love the CKY series/ Viva La Bam but you can you only live like that for so long before it catches up.

He’s gonna need more work still in denial!!!!

He's trying to make excuses for everything. Sadly I don't see things changing for him any time soon.

He really has matured a ton, you'd never think the 20-year-old Steve-O would be today's Steve-O

he's really an awesome guy I met him at one of his shows & he's great & it's really cool getting to see him full circle

Shame about the constant gas lighting and silencing of his friends. Defensive hands, he literally tells bam to stop before he gets put back in.. he refuses to allow bam to say he’s not happy

And to all the haters, Steve is likely donating all profits and then some to charities helping poor people with addiction!

@@Jessandrews94 one thing I learned is you should stop allowing people to lie to themselves if they want to get better. You must visualize the change if you want to change.

'all this bs' is a pretty strong dose of bipolar disorder among what appears to be an additional mental health disorder or two. it'll be a life long struggle from here on out i'd say. unfortunately not much has changed in the last 20 years for this very reason.

@@topdeckdog are you a Dr or professional? Just asking I was diagnosed Bipolar when I was 18 and have to say that Dr's are so quick to say people are 'bipolar' and put them on some meds and that should fix the problem.

@@joshdurham1199 these are millionaires problems ... Normal people don't get that many tries at rehab or even the opportunity to and the mockery he made of it is embarrassing I mean he went on Dr Phil and argued with him.

Get sober and just disappear live your life, celebrities finding sobriety and preaching it is something I can't stand after losing too many friends of my own

Steve and Brandon Novak are probably the 2 exact people you want in your corner during addiction struggles, Bam's in good hands friend wise

Yea for real

He keeps it real!! It is needed to be Bam successful. Bam was heading down a very scary road. Steveo is such a good valuable friend.

Yeah he needs honesty at this stage and steve-o isn't going to sugar coat this process at all.

Great interview? Did we watch the same interview where he spoke over him, laughed when he talked about his trauma. Corrected him like a child. It’s up to BAM if he wants to recover, you can’t force it

Same, the Brandon Novak RU-vid a while ago has made me realize the true depth of these characters my father still refuses to acknowledge. He saw MTV as a cancer on society specifically for the type of degenerate crap these guys represented.

It's crazy how much steve o turned his life around. I can't even believe he's the same lunatic I grew up watching. Truly incredible

Absolutely, 💯💯💯💯

No he is arrogant, self righteous, and instilling doubt to a confident Bam. Stevo is not serving anyone besides himself.

Bill Wilson and Bob Smith didn’t show up to hospital drunk wards to go help those men. They did it because they knew those men could help them.

@@cassandralong6120 as someone who's been around several dozens of people in year long rehabs, I totally agree with the original poster.

Enough of that 12 step horse shit…people need God

It's probably important to remember that those extended treatment facilities are a whole different world. A year sober in that world is a different stage than another year in the real world.

he's definitely not a bad or dumb person but considering his path in the past i wouldn't say he's a great role model for addicts

Yea but Steve-o is a little pompous. He acts like he has all the secrets to sobriety and he’s a bit condescending sometimes imo.

@@Trash2000s its a fine line. he did come back from the brink and knows what works to get sober. of course his methods and experiences might not work for everyone, but he can be an inspiration to the addicts that his methods do work for. he also has said he never wants sobriety to be his business, so i bet he doesn't intentionally evangelize sobriety or his methods. Still, any addict that wants to get clean would benefit from a friend like SteveO, Bam included.

@@Trash2000s who among us is to critique who should or shouldn't say who has an expertise in sobriety? I didn't see any condescension in this episode -- I saw a man who had a lot of stuff to get off his chest and was reconnecting with an old friend and I'd even go so far to say he has concern and Bam was saying some problematic things.

Trash 2000s: You’d hate an AA meeting with anyone with significant sobriety then. Steve O is SOBER, and the way to long term sobriety is NARROW, not wide. He is clearly explaining THE way to stay sober. With 15 years myself I see absolutely nothing pompous or pious in how he discusses what it takes to stay sober.

lol steve-o basically said he didn't make it into the movie because he was a unreliable drunk. most people would be offended by that.

@@PlanetDip no, a drunk that isn't ready to take responsibility for his actions would be offended by it. Someone legitimately in recovery would own up to it.

@@PlanetDip I don't like that reason though because everyone had issues during the first few movies. Bam has valid points

@@loganmay5930 bam has done a lot to get help, it's just people telling bam he needs help that don't even know how many times he's been in rehab and tried to get help. He's done a lot for help. People need to listen to Bam's perspective when he says rehab was becoming worse for him mentally because they were pumping him full of prescription medication that made him suicidal and feel like sh t and that environment was not good for his mental health when bam's mental health is the best when he's outside skating and with his family not drinking but skating and having fun

@@GrowingDownUnder Bam has not been getting help. It's obvious from listening him talk to Stevo that no actually solution has been presented to him. Rehab doesn't equal help.

Absolutely. I get having a paid advertisement at the beginning of a video, but this interrupting a conversation and throwing in more is completely ridiculous. It completely ruins the flow.

Get smart boys, all steveo cares about is $$$$$$$$$

Ya he seems a little fucked up still

I love Bam, I grew up watching him and really looked up to him when I was younger. It sucks to see him like this, because hes not sober.

Yeah you can tell when someone truly isn't done, I went to treatment a dozen times before I got any thing close to te multiple years i have gotten.

So true! I would say “ I’m done” and knew it was a lie! It sounds cliche but you have to want to be clean and sober and when that time comes you know it and can feel it and know it’s over!

Couldn't have said it better myself. There's hope though.

The above is a scam do not contact

Exactly.

Fair point

Yeah obviously, but at the same time he knows he’s fucking up. He’s addicted my friend. He’s smart enough to know that and it makes him mad. I can understand how hard that could be.

@@jibba1681 true. My son's journey to sobriety was slow and hard fought with 5 impatient and numerous outpatient rehabs through drug court (and several jail stints) and he was very young. Now he has 7 1/2 years sober. He walks the walk daily. It surprises me how vile people can treat addicts often when they them selves have addictions.

And how fucking great a dude steve-o is. How much he turned his life around and is using his lived experiences for good. I love it!

Steve-O has said a bunch of times that Bam was a dude that he was incredibly jealous of

He's gotta be in a better head space. Steve-O probably wouldnt want a F---cked up Bam on the show.

@@New_Gaming_Chair As long as Steve O gets his ad revenue from having Bam on, that is all that matters.

@@chentz2d552 why you so salty? Bam is an old long time friend of his, why do you think it's just for clicks?

People forget how much Bam helped Brandon Novak (that dude was hopeless way worse than bam has been) and now Novak is helping Bam

I don’t think he’s been staying sober. As an addict you can recognize a bull sh*tter

You’re 35 in your pic?

Yeah he put on the daddy pants a lot of times. It looked like Bam wanted to let that rehab stuff behind him as fast as possible and be back to normal, just like 10 years ago, but that ain't happening, that will have to stick around for the rest of his life, or it'll be short.

It was a rough watch it's very clear homie still on something he has two choices live or die and it's totally his choice. God bless

The only person to benefit from the interview is Steve-O.

The language don't mean shit. Not everyone has to talk like their brainwashed. I been sober for 8yrs I don't talk like that I go to meetings, but I talk how I talk. At 1st they all kept correcting me and it was annoying. Im still clean and out lasted a lot of the people.

He's using this podcast interview for views, clout and money.

@@lookintothesky123 Is he? How do you know? Its Steve O's longtime friend he was bound to be on someday I would be surprised if he never came on.. He don't need clout he already has that everyone knows who he is. He could easily start his own podcast and blow up fast

@@jesseolson3142 That’s fair man, I suppose everyone has their own way of speaking on specific topics. The language Steve-O uses may be important to him though but who can say for sure.

@@lookintothesky123 Eh, I wouldn’t look at this and think malicious intent. They are lifelong friends and they care about one another. If you’re referring to the sponsor cutaways it’s probably stuff he’s contractually obliged to do.

Crushed

:(

He looks like he is taking almost every time bam is talking.

@@lazylefthand I mean bam starts making a complete 180 when trying to stick to a story. He's still blaming other people and avoids the real problem that should be spoken about if he was finally realizing the reality of this. This was a while ago thought cause I remember weeks ago about him going to Disney. He mentioned Phoenix going soon in this. I hope he's doing way better now than when this was recorded

@@OhHellNahh i wrote he looks like hes taking a shit when bam is talking. Idk how my comment got edited.

facts :\

Sadly it didn't work... Bam relapsed in June

@@Real_Talkz recovery is a process not a single test, people who’ve gone through it know it

@@uranomichiaruki1 bro hes a trainwreck and will be untill his untimely death soon. :/

@@uranomichiaruki1 oh im well aware, I walk the road myself. I personally feel Bam isn't wanting to actually be sober and he's just doing it cause everyone else wants him to and tells him too and it keeps him relevant. He's tried and failed so many times and many of the rehab he has been in was court ordered which isn't helping him.

@@Real_Talkz so what your saying he's just a failure and should give up and drink himself to death because he slips up? What ,people aren't allowed to make slip ups anymore?

He relapsed briefly like in May? But hopefully his ass is on the right track????

He relapsed like a month ago

He is still pissed about the movie, call it out now

OUR* lol I fucking miss him!

Calm down
