Brandon Novak - Steve-O's Wild Ride! Ep #87 

thats fucking awesome to hear god bless you and your friend and hope for the best i might not be in the worst situation but we all deserve to to feel happy while not drinking or using drugs

🤘

He gets paid to by recovery centres to put people in beds, it’s super illegal and really shady, he’s a loser

@@synapticreactions9056 any evidence for that?

@@maxsilbert I don't have any evidence for this particular thing, but it happens alot. People in Florida and Cali think as well, get paid for every person they can get into and through the program. I'm not sure on specifics, like if they need to complete the program or what, but I remember watching a documentary/interview of a dude that was doing that, making shit tons of money, just contacting people from his home town and promising them a cut of the money and that they can just get through the program and go back to using afterwards with a nice stack of cash. In that interview in particular, the guy stopped doing it after one of the guys he got out there OD while at a hotel he got for him, I forget what exactly happened, but it was directly the guys fault, so it fucked with him and got him to stop doing it. Probably has something to do with government funding and the more people they get into the program, the more money the program makes, so they give people a cut if their able to get a bunch of people into it, even if they don't want to get clean, just someone to take up a spot so they can receive more money.

Novak lying

@@Greatlakeskyle. How is he lying? Read his book for god’s sake.

@@Greatlakeskyle. Kyle k crying

@@Greatlakeskyle. you’re really just letting us know your insecurity

dude novack was lit as fuck. how can you not notice?

His voice sounds so much like james franco

Steve was borderline disrespectful the whole interview… the fuck you talking about?

@@Twilk94 what the fuck are YOU talking about

@@Twilk94 you couldnt be more wrong

@@Twilk94 shut up dude

Yessssss!!!! Do it again ASAP

And a link to donate to his new sober living roommates man this has so much potential to be a big help for so many people

agreed, sometimes steveos podcasts need to go a bit longer than an hour

Ya it does. This was to short

Please!

I hope they see this comment.

I'm so sorry

Stay strong buddy

you can do it player stay strong 💪

On day 3 amigo! Keep it goin!

I Kno it's easier said than done but if u fuck up jus do better the next day. For me that "one moment at a time" thing works.

Don’t think for a second because you relapsed that 4.5 years was for nothing because your body doesn’t. From one recovering internet stranger to another we got this

Cool, Dude. 👍🏼

I don't know you, but well-done bro, keep it up!

@@jasonfox4718 thanks, man! I will ✊

2016 i got on a plane and flew to the opposite end of the country from my dealers no more black tar heroin i flew from alaska to florida to get away from dope because i was living with my dealer in alaska

Same here, i just took my 7 years

dude...BAMS the lifer. the dude has Epstein energy now. he scares me into sobriety.

That’s awesome man. Keep it going 💪🏼

do you count psychedelics as a relapse

@@malcolmx229 that’s for you to decide man. Not me.

Keep going bro please ❤️❤️🤟

Congratulations! May God keep you! Some people cannot do 1 day sober.😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💙💜💙💜💙💜🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈

He responded to me too a few month ago! I thought that was so damn cool

@@aaronoechsle3434 so cool dude. Hellyea !

Novak is a good guy, he also knows how to hustle insurance companies, but hey you gotta play the game a Lil? #altruism?

@@pastelridesagain7065 nothing wrong with hustling the hustlers, scamming the scammers, etc etc

@@pastelridesagain7065 hustle insurance companies? What am I missing here? And insurance companies are scammers anyway so if he did ohwell

For sure, he looks great too.

No one makes it out alive lol

If you want more Novak then look up the Novak and Franz podcast on RU-vid (it's old) If you already know about it then just disregard.

The thing is, one step at getting sober is admitting you have a problem and you alone need to turn it around, taking responsibility for your drugged antics. That's why Bam will never be sober, his ego denies him to ever be responsible for his actions. Anyway thank you both Steve-O and Novak for being alive, telling the stories we all wanted to hear

Fuck that, give me shit show alcoholic bam and steve-o trying to make sense of his nonsense

@@waynesenbanaynsen egos change form constantly.. I'm sure you've had plenty of egotistical phases in your own life. Don't act like you know Bam Margera based merely on some behaviour you've seen while he was wasted/in the clutches of addiction

@@Talisman09 I've heard so much shit about him, how he is to the people in town how he was in school, but yeah maybe you're right and he will get back on track and Steve-O's Wild Ride 200 will be with him.

How is your recovery? Did you stay sober?

how is your recovery? hope you doing well and if not, just get back to getting better

I'm wishing you well friend! I'm 28, started at 13 - this is really all I know and I'm trying my best to change that

THAT PART!! Bro...the fact that they are sober...it’s the craziest shit ever.

Both of these comments are totally pointless. We watched the video

@@themostdiabolicalhater5986 The only pointless comment in this thread is yours imo. 🙄

He's got a lot more going on mentally than just drugs and alcohol, if he doesn't fix those things first he wont quit getting loaded and he acts like everyone around him are the problem and the reason hes gone crazy. I unfortunately don't see him getting sober, he doesn't want it and he doesn't care for himself or those around him... if his own child can't get him to man up and get help, nothing will... I know he misses Dunn but these days he uses that as an excuse for all his negative behavior, that, or knoxville/Tremaine. He's just not as mentally strong as Steve-O in multiple ways. It's really unfortunate

Hope he does he seems to really be struggling

I honestly think he may have some Brain damage but the brain can heal if given the correct circumstances

@@yamahakid450f Bams problem isnt Dunns death. They were deep in the throws of this addiction before Dunn ever died. Its HOW dunn died. Ryan Dunn became bams excuse, nothing more. If anything, wouldn't you want to get away from the thing that killed your friend... not fall further into it? Bam isnt slamming shots anymore to shake off incoming memories of Dun... Hes doing it because he wants to be drunk because it feels good.

Most drug addicts don't have drug problems, they have life problems. And they use drugs because of the issues in their life. Bam's one of those people. He lived a wild and fast younger life and he's clearly struggling with getting older and settling down, which I know a lot of people do when they hit 40. And until he fixes those issues, he won't get sober.

and to think the physical aspect of being dope sick is arguably the easiest part of kicking the habit, and even that is horrible and i wouldn't wish it on anyone

Honestly same. I didn’t dislike him he just always seemed so fucked up. Now he seems like he has his light together. And hearing how much help he does that’s awesome

He's the most intelligent of that whole crew

@@matthewgabbard6415 He's gone from being addicted to drugs and scamming people to being addicted to recovery and scamming people.

That's incredible! Good job! 👈- was also on 100mg of methadone.

Great stuff, l have never been on these drugs so l can’t say l know what your going through, but it’s super cool to see how a guy like Novak can help you get your life in order.

@Lad Book for me it took a good 3-4 years of tappering.

Hell yeah!!! Congratulations!! 👏🏼🎉 that’s amazing!

(

Radio Bam is how I was introduce to him

Well said about Bam.

Omgoodness just think if Bam makes it on this podcast sober 💜💜💜

Yeah I dont think bam will get sober and get cleaned up, apologize and own up to his wrongdoings and mistakes. Im hoping he will in the future but I doubt it.

@@RetroGaming_07 man,i agree with u. I hope he does it one day,but after seeing and hearing about his endless "endeavors" in the past,it seems there are some mental issues with Bam at this point,besides the addiction... Chances are small for an addict to get clean,but together with some mental issues,it is allmost impossible!?

I hope one day this happens

In the rooms of NA you hear these stories all the time, its just great to hear this on yourube

Bit the bullet by now? What do you mean? Bite the bullet is a metaphor for facing and enduring difficult situation that one is up against and coming out the other side.

Bite the dust is what he meant to say

Addicts learn how to lie really well. I'd be careful about the whole truth of some of the stores

@@jd32k I hear your point!

Man is a shiester. The reason he opens up his phone to addicts is because he wants the cut when they go to the special rehab he’s associated with. He is likely lying about his sobriety too.

@@Greatlakeskyle. but he looks sober?

@@Greatlakeskyle. what makes you so sure? I know how addiction is and I dont think it's impossible for him to be faking it, I'm just curious as to why you think so.

I love Novak's story and his dictation so much that I don't even care, man. I have his hour and a half video about his whole story saved and ill listen to it a few times a month, it's one of the best stories I've ever heard AND it's true.

@@Greatlakeskyle. yikes those are serious allegations

true man. And just to say,imo it's great that he is doing it,bcs he understands. I was battling addiction for a decade,and u cannot believe how frustrating it get when u get lectured & scolded by some dr. or addiction therapist,who have no fkin clue what they are talking about. They just read few books in college about addiction,and now they are a specialist!!!

Good but also I wish nothing for the junkie who broke into my Aunts home and destroyed absolutely everything that the rat couldn't steal.

@@Am979100 my philosophy always was. People aren't bad because they use drugs. But there's plenty of bad people who use drugs. Which will just make you an even bigger piece of shit...

It's just a giant money pit that overcharges

Best of luck to you, buddy! I've been on drugs for 9 years now, with pain killers and suboxone. I also smoke a little tiny bowl of weed every night to help with my anxiety and insomnia. But if Novak and Steve can get sober, We can do it too. You are never alone in this world when fighting addiction and wanting to become sober. There's millions of people in the world this very second that's in the same exact boat as us. You can do it man, i know you can. It's a process but with patience and a strong mentality towards getting sober, it's so possible to get clean.

Hope your doing well man

If it weren't for bam, he wouldn't be famous at all. He needs to reciprocate the favors bam bestowed upon him.

@@bagingospringo4396 he has tried so hard to help bam

@@bagingospringo4396 bam abuses tf outta him.

@@Fmradio803 I don't care. Dude was stealing his credit cards and wrecking his cars

@@bagingospringo4396 I didn’t know that!

Proud of you for recognizing you don't want to live like this anymore and having a goal. Sending all the good vibes

Bro I wanted to quit opiates for like 6 years. Withdraws suck dick but using something like Suboxone to taper off helped massively. Sometimes it just takes a major event to snap you out of it. I don't believe everyone who's addicted to something is an "addict"..some of us just got caught up in shit we didn't understand when we were young, and weren't strong enough to stop, even when we recognize it bad and want to stop.. that shouldn't lable you as an "addict"..I wasnt running out looking for yay and crystal when I was out of opes. I can do something once and like it but never crave to do it again..not everyone is the same..

You didn't weep, stfu.

You can do it man

YOU GOT THIS

Yea too bad he wasn't here to speak for himself...kinda funny how that works right

@@bagingospringo4396 because he's getting the help he needs. And when he was speaking for himself it was absolute gibberish so yeah, I appreciate his SOBER BEST FRIEND Novak letting us know he's getting the help he needs

@@charlottesometimes2944 absolutely..thank you and we'll said!

Yeah normally he says the rehearsed story.

D Maffo it’s honestly refreshing to see him so off the script

I just hope you bought the rights to that nft.

@@cerebraxis607 I do own it, but feel free to screen shot it if you like.

@@walshy7499 Ah, here's the kicker. I'm actually an artist myself.😅Look me up on opensea if you'd like. Been doing it for over 20 years but never made A name for myself. Ptsd..anxiety...and other excuses. ✌...damn dirty apes.

@@cerebraxis607 😂😂💯

I still got hopes for Bam too!

novak is corny af

Doubt it He just threw him under the bus For cumming on another man’s arm Prob even banged ….

And to where Bam is, insane shit.

Who is Steve Novak?

@@crankymessiah1477 ahahahaha that's what I thought

Sorry for your loss
