And he's so broke. I think he has a payment plan of like $50 a month, which will take eternity to pay off.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I was in my turmoil of being over it. I was ready to just check out. I didn't care unless... I knew she was the run right away. And I asked what happened to her. She's like, I had to flee the scene in Miami. I was dating a professional baseball player. It was very abusive. And I just packed up the dogs and I just hit the road. And LA was my destination.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And, um, you know, he saw a photo of like us and us weekly holding hands and a little tablet thing with a purple dress on. He's like, I'm coming out there. I'm going to find you and like hunt you down. And this, I believe that he died of a fentanyl overdose in Texas on the way here.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So she just knew that if she stayed in that relationship, it was not going to end well.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I'm surprised it didn't wind up being one big brawl with a bunch of chicks.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And another thing is like, you could barely get a one bedroom, one bath with no land near the beach of Santa Monica for 4 million or whatever. Out here, you could have 20 acres.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
If you're so obsessed with the beach, just buy a nice pool, put a sandbox next to it, and have a fucking day.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Little towns like this and in Westchester, Pennsylvania. If you're a bartender, you're just simply happy being a bartender. If you're one in Los Angeles, you are just simply trying to make ends meet until your big break of becoming a model or an actor or whatever it is. And everybody's so fake that I just did a test with a friend because we were at a party. I'm like, just watch this.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Yo, Ben, what are you up to? Oh, I'm actually got to do Jimmy Kimmel because Jackass 2 is coming out, which was true. And they're like, dude, we got to work together. Next person that comes up.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
yo man what are you up to i actually just flew myself out here with my own money and i'm kind of looking for work you got anything going on uh good talking to you pal like if you're up to something they all want to be a part of it and if you're not then it's just it's really fake town is what it is no it is it is it's it's definitely gone down the drain in the past few years so let's circle back to um how are phil and uh april doing how's your relationship with them
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Um, well, I just realized that right now it's just a good time to just back off and, and, and time because they were a part of the whole treatment thing. Like I got a guardian just like Britney Spears and her only answer to everything was lock me up and throw away the key, put them in treatment, put them in treatment.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And her last client, Amanda, she, she faked the autopsy report. They did research and found out that she, she died in the care of her own hands of having a seizure. And I've never had a seizure in my life until I met her. I went into five of them in a row. And the last one I couldn't breathe on my own. I woke up eight days later on a fucking life support tube with COVID and pneumonia.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So, like, all I knew is I had to... Once you get Martzman-acted or Baker-acted, it usually happens in Florida, that means that you have to do 90 days in treatment. And if the interventionist knows that you have good insurance, they will find reasons to keep you there for eternity.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I'm like 88 days in and I'm like, I get to two more days. I get out hip hip hooray. Then he walks in. He's like, you've been rocking those same shorts for like three days now. I'm like, yeah, I'm not trying to get any pussy around here. I don't care. They're like, that's bad hygiene. You're doing another 90 days at another place. Then I'll do 88 days at another place.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Flick the cigarette out into a bush. They filmed it smoking like any cigarette would smoke. It was not on fire. Like you can let the whole national forest on fire. You're doing another 90 days at another place. They just kept doing it and doing it, doing it.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And I realized that there's nothing that you could do to get out there.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
You know, we're going to keep you here for another 90 days. For what? I've done everything you've asked. I've been here for two and a half years. Get me the fuck out. And when I did get out, I appreciated life a lot more. I'm like, I'm in a car. It's a convertible. There's the beach. I'm in a fucking Starbucks outside talking to you. Or just the music.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I was in the music. I had no interweb, no fucking music, no TV. A little bit of TV, but it was just terrible.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
She got hired from Nikki's brother. They all teamed up on me and said that he needs to go away for a long, long time. They talked my parents into it by like saying, uh... Yeah, $500,000 is a lot of money. But if you don't write this check, you're going to be real sorry when he's six feet in the ground, you know, making my mom feel really bad about it. So she just got talked into this.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And then Lima has such a nice voice that she could pretty much con anybody into anything. Is she an interventionalist? What do they call those people?
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I would have been dead if I would have kept doing what she was making me do. And she was making me say things like, I was in the longest Florida shuffle. It's a fact it's called a shuffle. She's like, man, there's no such thing as a Florida cycle. You have to do a statement saying that you didn't know what you were talking about. And I really went on. She like forced me to do it.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Like, Hey guys, I know I was talking about the Florida shuffle, but I don't know anything about it or what I was talking about. And I was not in the Florida shuffle whatsoever.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
lies how did she get like i was definitely in the fucking florida shuffle i was in 13 different treatment centers at 90 days a piece and one of them was 220 it's called a shuffle they kept me in there for why for no reason i already know that alcohol is good and it's not any bad what do i have to do with the next class learned alcohol is bad it's not any good i'm very aware of that what are you going to do when you get out i'm going to sip on a white claw because fuck all y'all
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
It's also called The Surprise Witness. She does a podcast. That's Surprise Witness. She decided to buy every 911 call of me or that I've done.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Every body cam footage, every document, every house I bought and sold, every car. She just wanted everything. Why? Because she just wanted to find out the truth. She knows that something shady was going on. And when we looked at the body cam footage, Um, my aunt, Missy, my mom, they were all in on it. I'm like hiding in a hotel. And then all of a sudden the police show up. I'm like, are you in?
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
My mom's like, bam, I have no idea. I have no idea about it. Then as soon as I get handcuffed and taken away, she's talking to the cops. Like, like they fucking arranged this.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And you can't deny fucking. physical body cam proof which is what she has and documented proof so she doesn't bj doesn't know what she's talking about yes she does because she's also a lawyer in the court of law she's a lawyer she's a lawyer yeah so okay circling back i'm sorry i had to cut you off in such a crucial moment but that betrayal has got to be traumatic yeah and if if my mom is able to
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
say that for a whole year, she's like, bam, I swear I had no idea about it. And then a year later, BJ got the body cam footage. I'm like, what do you have to say about this? Well, Pam, we didn't know what to do. It's like, but, but you lied to me for a whole year. Like, I think you even swore on your whatever's, you know what I mean?
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
No, because I was in treatment for two years, but as soon as I would get out, the first thing I wanted to do was that because I had no reason to stop. My kid has been taken away from me and they have no plans on arranging me a visit. I'm paying rent for my girlfriend's place. And I said, if you move to Burbank near your brainwashing brother, I'm leaving you for good.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So I'm like, I'll move to anywhere with you in Phoenix on the planet except there. So I sent the money. I'm like, congratulations. I heard you got a place. Where is it? She's like, Burbank. I'm like, all right, I'm leaving you. And she thought that I was fibbing, but like... I, the only reason that made me stop right here, she gave me the perfect ultimatum, her puss water, the vodka.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I really like vodka, but I'm not going to go with that. I'm going to go with the first option. And, um, her stretch in an hour a day is so effective. Anytime I was sore back in the day, I'm like, man, I'm sore. I need a massage. I should've got a stretch coach.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Yeah, because if they let you out and you have a couple of days left, they're hoping that you relapse so they could keep you for another 90 days for insurance purposes.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Sure. And these places are so shady that I had a roommate named big Ben and an ambulance took him out at three in the morning when everybody was asleep and they pronounced him dead. And they, I woke up and I overhear everybody saying like, Hey, where's big Ben? He left. And, and all the staff members were like, Oh, he moved along to a different facility. I'm like,
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
different facility yeah the fucking morgue he's deader than shit they pronounced him dead when i was sitting next to him that's got to be traumatic but this whole place is trained they were they they taught everybody to say that he moved along to a different facility yeah the morgue is dead that's got to be traumatic also having your roommate die right they put me in i had to go in on under jackass rules with paramount that i go to treatment and pay for it so i'm going in on adderall and alcohol which i had a prescription for and uh
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I go in, I'm on more drugs than I've ever had. I was a fucking zombie to the point where I couldn't even cry or cum. They put me on fucking Bipropion, Propanolol, Lithium, Latuda, Trazodone, Seroquel. Every Wellbutrin and Abilify known to man, but... you could say like, Hey, bam, you're a cat. Oh, my cat died. Neat. You know, Hey, uh, Angelina's over there naked and she wants to have at it.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Oh, she does. Cool. Like I was just numb. I had no feelings whatsoever. I was better out at the fucking Irish bubs, cracking jokes on Adderall and alcohol rather than all that shit.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And the doctor probably gets a big kickback on writing all these prescriptions. If you leave on nothing, then they lose a client. Yeah. Oh, he's good to go.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Nothing. I, they said they diagnosed me with manic bipolar and then they said, are you depressed? I go, I don't know if I am depressed. It's because I'm now too, um, um, top heavy and I can't skateboard how I used to.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
so they give me all these new prescriptions and i'm eating salads in there and i'm like gaining weight i'm like that's it so i type in depakote number one weight gaining pills zyprexa number one weight gaining pill i'm like doc why would you give me a weight gaining pill if if i told you i'm depressed because i'm heavier than i'm supposed to be he's like well it's an antidepressant well if i keep getting fatter i'm gonna be fucking more depressed you he-eyed
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
If you tell the police, don't listen to a word he says, he's schizophrenic. If you say he's schizophrenic, you could be like, hey, police, if you look right there and just lean your head over, you will find a dead body. Yeah, yeah, you're not. No, no, no, just take two steps and take a look. Yeah, you're schizophrenic. You don't know what you're talking about.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Like, no, just fucking take two steps and fucking look. Like, they just do not believe anything. As soon as you say schizophrenic, don't believe a word.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I think Steve Timber, the interventionist, just wanted to see me get arrested and go back to a mental institution.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So, out of the 13 places I've been to, I think two of them diagnosed me with manic bipolar. The other 11 says that I'm not that. Every time I go to a new treatment center, which would be every 90 days, they'd be like, They have you on this, that, and the other thing, and this, this, this. What kind of cocktail is this? We've never seen anything like that.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I'm like, they said that they were the best of the best. No, we're the best of the best, and you're going to be on this, that, and the other thing now and switch it up. Then I go to another place, and they're like, what did that place put you on? This is the craziest cocktail I've ever seen.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I'm like, well, they said that they were the best of the best, and that place that was the best of the best said that they sucked. I'm like, you're all fucking idiots.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
my therapist what are you doing she was there for a different thing she's your original therapist and she was the only one that I I listened to and loved everybody else you know and that's another thing I just spill my guts to a whole new therapist out of I had 13 therapists in the past two years so it's like here we go again I gotta spill my whole guts out to every another person and get nowhere because I'm just gonna leave again and they're gonna get me
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So if I stop taking the 18 medications, then I don't get the 5 million that I usually get on a jackass movie because I broke my contract. So I stopped taking it. Looks like you broke your contract. I'm like, yeah, what's the point? What's the point of getting $5 million if I'm dead? Because that's what was going to happen if I kept taking that.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I would sleep all fucking day only to get up to piss or go to the refrigerator. And then I would just go back to bed. I was like, basically just dead inside if I wasn't dead already.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
tiff with my brother I lent him Castle Bam to turn into a recording studio he got Prince's soundboard from Paisley Park and um And I knew that I would be in treatment. And once I got out, I was going to go to California to hike with the shaman to lose all his weight. So I came home. Didn't think that I had to make an announcement that I'm coming home because it's my home.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So instead of like, hey, welcome back. It was more like, so when are you leaving? Fuck yous when I'm leaving. So we got a little tiff about that. I... read his phone on a three-way conversation with the people that were working in the studio at my house saying, we did not know Bam would be home. Um, he's ruining our program. We need to get him back to California ASAP or 5150.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And for no reason, just to not. So I've ripped off the first thing I saw, which is signed Billy Idol guitar and, And either smashed it with him or on the kitchen, whatever. And then I told his girlfriend, who was trying to rescue a cat, she fell off the ladder and shattered her heel. So I said I'd put a bear trap on her other foot, knowing that I don't own a bear trap.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And I certainly didn't fly in with one. So I got a terroristic death threat charge of a bear trap. And I put my fucking hand in one and jackass too. And it didn't even break. So cool your goddamn jets, everyone.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
It's almost like they're just... It's the little things that piss me off. Villa Vallo from him is my favorite band, so I have a big picture right as soon as you walk in. There's a piece of cardboard duct taped over his face with like a... You know, just super disrespectful. And then I just bought Phoenix a little...
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Blue Lamborghini car, special car that I left because when I got arrested on the manhunt, when they called the police on me to 5150 me, I left that car there because I got locked up. He could have just put it right in the house. It got so sun-dried that it's gray. It's not even worth giving it to him anymore.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
The lawyers, she lawyered up with a lawyer, which was completely ridiculous because we're not married. It was a fake wedding in Iceland that you have to be a resident there to make it legit. We didn't know that. So thank God on that. So she's trying to tell the... the lawyer that her name is Nicole Margera. That name does not exist on paper. It doesn't exist on the planet of earth.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So I was giving her five grand a month out of the kindness of my own heart for child support. I'm like, I'm being more than fair. And then finally we went to court with her getting a lawyer and The judge was like, you only get $500 a month. You're not even married. So I'm like, you should have been happy with the five grand.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Now I've given 200 grand to my lawyer and your lawyer wants me to pay for him too. All the money has gone to the lawyers. Congratulations. If it were a matter we could have figured out in one second, when's a better FaceTime for Phoenix? High noon on Wednesday or is Tuesday better? But they always say, we're still working on it. So if you send me another 50 grand, we'll still be working on it.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
It's still an issue. Apparently I get to see him once every weekend, but I'm fully booked with these Comic-Cons every weekend to pay these legal fees.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
It almost doesn't even matter if a decade went by. Like, hey, do you know, can Bam see Phoenix now? Because it's been 10 years and he's been sober as a judge. Well, he'll probably just relapse. I know him. You know, there's nothing I can do to win on this matter. And...
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
If I walk in the mall and I see some teddy bears or a fucking Paw Patrol poster, I'm crying my eyes out. If I even go past a playground and I see kids play, it's like, that's all I want to do. But I have to have a fucking supervised visit from the Supreme court with a microphone on just, it's like, I've been living at the black rifle coffee compound with a little eight year old and a 10 year old.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
How come I get to live there and play with them all day? But when it comes to my own kid, I have to have a Supreme court visit with a fucking microphone and people filming me just to make sure I don't do anything wrong. What am I going to do?
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I don't even know what school he goes to. I don't even know where he lives, even though I'm paying for it. I don't even know anything about him, what friends he has, what he even likes, what cartoons he likes. Don't know anymore. Because everything has to go through the lawyer, and it's just such a pain in the ass.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I think when a girl is scorned, then all they see is fire in their eyes and Babylon's burning and it's going to burn your fucking house down. There's nothing you can do to save it.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And you know that everybody on her end, they're hearing her one-sided story. She's probably going around saying, Bam left me high and dry and he gives me only $400 a month. Yeah, I was giving you five until the judge said you're only getting four. And I gave in all my money to lawyers when I begged you not to get one because we don't need that. So it's all gone anyway.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I started from scratch and I love it that way. So now if we want to get a house, we pick out our own furniture. We do it. I like starting from scratch. I've never been more happy in my life on this great adventure of just going from spot to spot, meeting new people, coming up with new deals, new whatever. It's great.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I was just stuck at home in a vicious circle of the hair of the dog. I wake up. Oh, I feel like shit from drinking. But if I have a drink, I'm going to feel pretty good. And if I have another one, I'm going to feel even better. If I have a third one, I'll feel great. Next thing you know, you wake up. Oh, fuck. I feel like shit. But if I have a beer, it's a cycle.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I made my own video at the age of 16 and through word of mouth sold over a million copies without even putting an ad in anything. Just mom and pop skate shops were selling it and everybody said, you need to see this video. So then I did another one and then that's when Jackass found me. I was the first person to ever ride for Nike.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And when Element put out my skateboards, they also put out Bam wallets, Bam sunglasses, Bam everything. And when Jackass became bigger than MTV could imagine, I already had all this BAM stuff out before they could even make Jackass stuff. So I was clocking mega bank and every wish that I had, any goal that I set would come true quicker than my... deadline date and I fucking ran out of goals.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
and he's the hottest that's when tremaine and oxville they would be in in los angeles making all these secret deals then they do a fucking documentary about how jackass got created and talking about big brother the whole time and at the very tail end probably about five percent oh yeah and then ben was doing cky in pennsylvania if you do the math i sold millions of copies you fucking barely sold 20 000 copies of big brother's video called poop and
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
tit and fucking crap i don't even know i've never even heard of them yeah i know exactly i know who cky has never heard of that i have learned how to fucking forgive and be happy and i delete it anybody that's giving me a problem but I just want to take my anger out on one person. Jeff Tremaine's too much of a fucking pussy. Knoxville, get into a ring with me. Take off your boxing gloves.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Put me through hell. Maybe pay all this fucking treatment money. And they're filming behind my back while I'm in treatment. So they already set me up to fucking fail. And then. And then as soon as I do the slightest thing wrong, I'm not in the movie. So I paid a hundred grand to go to treatment only for me to fuck up. And then now I'm not in the movie. They had it all planned out.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And I think that Knoxville tried to do this movie called action point in South Africa, and they had a $15 million budget and he tried to do it without us. And it was a fucking flop. They only made $2 million. So when that happens, the label says, you're not free to go. You're either going to have to pay this back or fucking put your house up for sale or do a jackass five. Well,
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
If Bam's not in it, then that's already $6 million to $5 million that we don't have to pay back. So we can already say he's a fucking liability because he's drunk out in front of a hotel room on TMZ. Yeah, well, on Jackass 2, I got a high five for fucking good press when I got a felony charge having Brant's knuckles at the LAX airport. Drunk as hell.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And if you double dog Knoxville to do any stunt, I'm so brave. I'll have to do it. Why triple dog? Dare you step into a fucking ring with me. You're done for. You're over.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And you know, I've, helped him with over a dozen treatment centers i've rescued him over a dozen overdoses at the hospital i've paid for all of his mistakes and i don't want any of that money back now that he's doing good but like he stole my s55 mercedes 125 000 car when i was in germany high on pills to go get more pills wrecked into the dean's car westchester Fleed the scene.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
They tried to charge me over it till I proved I was in Germany. But he says, you always got to take a cone of buoy for your actions. All right, well, you owe me a fucking car. You're buying your seventh treatment house in Delaware, driving around in your Range Rover. You owe me a car.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And that's why I like just putting my phone down. I like to just focus on... Just leave them alone right now. We spend all day every day... Like, we are such a fucking powerhouse team that she takes better photos than most of the people on Thrasher Magazine.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
She stretches me beforehand and... It's we just have like a perfect day that I don't need any fucking phone calls interrupting the flow of that. And, you know, everybody asked me, like, if they did another Jockeys, would you want to be? Hell no. It is done. Tremaine has ruined the legacy. It was supposed to be a fucking tribute to Ryan Dunn. Now he puts these fucking new hee-haw heads in there.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
camera and say get hurt in action poopies got bitten by a fucking shark he could have died and the movie made 150 million dollars in the box office and apparently he got like less than 40 grand you can't even buy a fucking Dotson with a used tire on with that kind of money meanwhile yeah you had her a Hyundai but you had to sign a contract on Jackass for everybody could get fucked with at any given moment except for Tremaine because he's the director no because he's a fucking pussy
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
We've actually been on the road. We met eight months ago and about six of the months we've been all over the place. Texas, New Mexico, Florida, South Carolina, Indiana, made our way down here. And we've just been enjoying the road trip. We have two dogs.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
When the time is right, we'll talk and everything's cool. But, I mean, like... I did his tour. He asked me to go on tour to open up for his comedy show and get some money to pay some legal fee bills of the mess that I'm in. And I completed my mission. Everything was a success. I didn't drink like how he asked.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And then I find out that he puts all my money in a Phoenix Wolf trust fund when he turns 18. I'm like... I earned that money. Yeah, but we didn't want you to spend it on alcohol or drugs. It doesn't matter. I did the work. Fucking pay me. And it's not like I need your money. I have a fucking couple bank accounts. I could just go right to the store and get some.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
But, like, you're not at liberty to be starting a Phoenix the Wolf trust fund and he gets it when he's 18. It's not... Fuck that.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Making decisions for me. And I can't even trust, you know, it's just hard to trust anybody. I don't know what their fucking real agenda is.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
We have created such a tight bubble of friends that, you know, we have a perfect circle of tight friends and I'm not going to let anybody fucking dent it anymore. Viva La Bam, I let in so many friends that the bubble just bursted.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And you, when you keep giving everybody your phone number, then you start talking, you start forgetting to talk about the important ones. There was a point where my manager, Terry already was so great. He would get me fucking commercials to do right card for a million dollars of one day of work.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And now I'm pawning off his phone calls to a friend of a friend because I don't have time to fucking answer it now, which I've highly regret doing. You know, when I look back at everything, I'm like, shit,
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
he had this movie all ready for me to go I was too hung over to make the flight and because of that I think that's when he was just like you know what enough is enough I can't I just had a lot of money on the line for you to be producing this movie in Hollywood and you were just too hung over to get on the flight well I'm done
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Our meetings at MTV would be fucking bonkers. It's like, so what do you want to do this week? And most people would be like, is this guy crazy?
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I'll be like, how about we paint the entire kitchen blue and then we'll have an elephant come in and we'll make the outside a fucking moat with a drawbridge and then I'll keep wrecking Don Vito in my uncle's car until he gets fed up and drives my armor off a cliff.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And soon we'll be making our way to California, but we have been booking a lot of comic cons and horror cons just because, um, you know, we've been doing so well at them and I've been in treatment for the longest Florida shuffle. You could call the Guinness book because it was like two and a half years at $660,000. Yeah.

TBT: Bam Margera
circling back to you and Ryan Dunn's relationship let's focus on that for a little bit you guys were like best of friends yeah take me on that journey with you guys um well we met in I was in ninth grade he was in 11th at East High School in Westchester Pennsylvania he just um moved from Cleveland Ohio and um he was just such a character.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
He was, he didn't know how to skateboard and he knew that I was making the CKY video and he became a part of the crew just because he would be the guy to do the gnarly thing that everybody would back out on. You know, he's big. So, so what does everybody push out on to get in that wheelbarrow and get pushed off of that three-story building into this pricker bush?
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Just give me a shot of Crown Royal and let's get it done and over with. So, so he would be like, we call him random hero because he would always save the day. And and we did everything together. Anytime we did an MTV interview, he would always be right there. If I started trailing off or, you know, he would always take over.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So to find out that he got in a car accident, it was very devastating because I never had anybody. died that I was close to, and I never knew what it felt like. It was always like, hey, did you hear Aunt Audrey from Pittsburgh died? I'm like, who? We had Thanksgiving dinner with her five Thanksgiving. All right, whatever. Are you going to go to the funeral? I guess if I have to. I don't know.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So... Anybody that died until then, I never knew. You never knew a pain. But then when that, it hit so hard to the point where I remember we were outside of Phoenix, Arizona. I was doing an appearance the next day, and we were in the woods having a campfire. You could see all the stars, and I'm like, man, I am really happy right now. I couldn't be happier.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Then all of a sudden I just punch out the van window and break it for no reason. And the tour manager was like, why did you do that? I'm like, I don't know. I'm just mad and I don't know why. I just don't know why. Turns out he wrecked at 1228 in Pennsylvania and I smashed the window at fucking 928 in Phoenix.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So it's like we had such a connection that I knew something bad happened and I didn't know what till I found out the next morning.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And my mom would always tell him, you get these fucking fast cars with these fast engines, you're going to get into a wreck. He's like, yeah, a fiery wreck. And that's how it happened. He flipped me in a car eight times into oncoming traffic when I was 16 years old. In school, he was doing a radio.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
He's like, hop in the car. I got this Jetta worth going to the mall. I bet he's happiest. Not the Jetta. So we were flying 110 miles per hour. Somebody caught us off. We slid for so long like a football field. As soon as we hit the grass in the median, we started flipping into oncoming traffic. My brother got flown out on the last flip. He was 40 feet in like a moat.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I could see his feet sticking out. And when I saw him, he was just like... a helicopter had to come get him out. I had a big softball in my head from bashing the window out on the first flip. But I got to thank Chris Rabb because he was sitting next to me and he put my seatbelt on and I ejected. I said, I'm not a pussy. And then he put it on again.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
hell yeah because i was so lost that i didn't know what to do it's like well now we can't make a cky video if we do another jacket it won't be the same yeah and uh instead of like drinking as a celebration it was just drinking to forget right and it became a real fucking problem and i didn't even know it i would always i was always that guy to go you know 90 days and be like
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
all right, you know, we're going to Ruth Chris Steakhouse tonight. I could have one wine for dinner. Yeah, it might be one wine that night for dinner, but the next day I'm going to have two. The next day it's going to be two bottles and then I'm out looking for drugs. It always happens that way. And getting your phone still was over a baked dozen of tries to realize that.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Yeah. I mean, they put me through everything. I like a part of the, uh, jackass thing. I had to blow into a sober link four times a day. I had to pay for $800 of therapy twice a week. Neurofeedback, same thing. Um, yeah. And, and,
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I think if you did it like on your own, I have therapy of hearing sirens when I, cause I was on, when I was on that manhunt, it was gnarly. There was three helicopters in the sky, eight police officers circling around trying to find me through the woods. I am a professional at hopping barbed wire fences. I was scared shitless on the fourth one, but on the eighth one,
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I became a pro, and then I drank the Brandywine River because I was dying of thirst. I slept in a box in a fucking house that I thought was abandoned until they pulled up, and they were so terrified. They come up to unlock the door, and they just see a pair of feet hanging out this box, and all of a sudden, I just jump out like a bat out of hell. I just go, I'm sorry, and I keep
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I was fucking Harriet Tubman from the Underground Railroad. I had families hide me, take me to an Albanian restaurant, and then they took me from there. Finally, I made it to the Jersey Shore at a buddy's house, and I was telling random people just to see how far it would go. I told my mom that I was in North Carolina just to see if that would travel anywhere. Sure enough, turns out, like,
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
We found out Bam's in North Carolina on a high-speed chase all larried up because if he made it to North Carolina that quick, that means he was driving 120 miles per hour. I'm like, that was a lie that I told to my mom just to see how far it would go. Oh, my gosh. I'm in Jersey, assholes.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And with the relationship, it's all about trust. If you don't have trust, you got nothing.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I've known this. All I needed all along was a structured schedule. That's fun because I had no nine to five job. I had no boss ever tell me what to do. And, you know, I need a structured bedtime schedule. I know when I'm with her, I'm in bed by 9 or 10.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
we wake up i walk the dogs we take care of that if i if i can't take care of myself i can't take care of the dogs but we walk the dogs she stretches me we go to the gym then i look for a skate spot she shoots the skate photo or films it for me we get it done we go get something to eat and then i either paint or read or write or edit or whatever it is it's a whole fun structured schedule and steve-o would always tell me dude if you just get sober you'll see that neat things will happen i'm like
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Well, I've been sober and the only neat things that happen is nothing because I'm forced to go to treatment. I'm forced to go to AA to learn that alcohol is bad. It's not any good. I'm forced to go to therapy. I'm forced to go to neurofeedback. Nothing fun is happening at all.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
How come the fucking FBI or no one has done research about this Amanda Rabb client that Lima, my guardian, she died under her care and she changed the autopsy saying that it wasn't from what she died from. It was from a cardiac arrest seizure, which is what I started getting as soon as I met her.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Well... I was pretty much, I checked into the Sunset Marquee in Los Angeles, right on Hollywood Boulevard. I was just over everything. I have five lawsuits, a custody battle that is never ending. I'm just spending all my money on that. I just got three of my credit cards stolen and they all racked up 20 grand on each one.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
She made me talk about this neato fucking helmet that she made. Listen to this. And I put on this helmet, and she forced me to say how neat it is and how it helps with therapy. In one eye, you see a little fucking kitten drinking milk, and then the other eye, you see a Tyrannosaurus Rex is coming at you at full speed trying to eat you. And she's like, which eye do you pick? I pick the kitty cat.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
You're on the right path. No shit, I'm on the right fucking path. Why would I pick... the left eye, which is a T-Rex coming at me to eat me.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
researched everything because i was so scared of something like what happened to you happening to her so it's scary i mean yes mental health system is a fucking nightmare and we definitely don't want to bash the good ones i'm sorry i went to aurora mental health in pasadena california and i was just talking to the other people i'm like so what happened to you he's like i was just here for a 48 hour hold and then they found out that i insurance and i had nowhere to go and i've been here for fucking 150 days keep you
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
But they found I was only on a 48 hour hold and then they found out I had insurance and I had nowhere to go. I've been here for 150 fucking days. I'm like, this is fucked up.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
The last one was a stripper from Spearmint Rhino who racked up 20 grand in a nightclub in one night. How do you do that? That means every valet, don't know those guys, but I'll pay for them. Don't know that crew, but I'll pay for their bottles. How? 20 grand in one night at one nightclub? Come on.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
You seem like such a jovial... The best thing to do is just to just shut your fucking cocksucker because the more you talk, the more they can hold against you. My one buddy, Hannafin, called me from the mental institute. He's like, Bam, you don't understand. I don't belong here.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And I hear, I'm like, are you banging your head against the wall? He's like, yeah. I'm like, you just bought yourself another month, you idiot. Don't do that. Then you're definitely staying. Don't do that, you hot air buffoon. You just bought yourself... Yeah, bang your head against the wall. That's a real good idea.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I thought that there was there was no hope for me. Like I was even I was putting tacks in the in my calf muscles like there was a bunch of calves. My friend was like, what are you doing? I'm like, I'm putting tacks. Why? I'm like to relieve the pain.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So, like, that's how stiff they were from just alcohol abuse and all the medication of side effects of stiff muscles. It was for real. It was that painful. And one yoga guy was like, just reach down and touch your toes. See if you can do that. I doubt I can. And I went and my hamstring popped right here. I was out for a year from that.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I even, when I got out of treatment, they let me skate a three foot half pipe with my friend Jeff Rasp. And I didn't even get to drop in yet. I ran up the three foot ramp and basically got such a cramp that I couldn't do it anymore. Tried the easiest trick on the planet, looped out because some little shit ass waxed a coping like a fucking Eskimo.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And I hyperextended my elbow to the bone coming out and broke my wrist for the 16th time. And my arm still won't go straight from it. It's getting better.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I've always had cats because... Okay, gotcha. Yeah, but anytime I would have a dog...
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
i leave too much i travel too much so a friend would watch them and when a friend watches your dog for a month and it's a brand new puppy you come back and they're like i can't give this back i get it yeah gotcha but you know bam i think a lot of his friends will say like you know bringing up how he has been in this world for so long that he's always had people around him and
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
We have found such harmony, which is one thing that was like, we have such a harmonious day. Harmony is what I needed. And man, I...
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So when I checked in, I got a whole bunch of drugs, and I was like, I really just don't even care to wake up, and if I do, F you, God. So the next morning, I'm like...
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I'm starting to think, you know what? Maybe the interventionist Really thought that I was schizophrenic because some of the stories that I tell just seems like a nut in treatment. Like I was telling somebody, yeah, so I shipped my purple Lamborghini to North Korea because Kim Jong Il likes sports cars and he wouldn't let me drive it around, but he let me park it at the airport.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And then Iggy Pop played my wedding and Billy Idol cut the roof off of the Lamborghini. He's probably like, this guy is fucking bat shit crazy. But if you look it up on YouTube, you're going to find that shit because it's for real.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I feel like this guy's talking about shipping his Lamborghini for Kim Jong Il. Nobody goes to North Korea and he probably doesn't even have a Lamborghini. Fuck you. It's all true.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
He's actually a healthy eater. My body feels so good now that all I want to do is eat right. And I really don't, I never thought the day would come to where I, I would stop because it's always free. If you're at a nightclub, you wouldn't do the bathroom. Sure. You know, and then, you know, you get really addicted to it these days.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I've been on the ground on this rug with a fucking microscope looking for crumbs. You know, and I'm like, I'm never going to stop. It's just a matter of time. I'm going to do it again. Now, don't feel that way. You can put it right in front of me. I'll flush it down the toilet. Don't want any.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
man i'm awake fuck i'm like all right i'm gonna go to the pool bar you better god you better deliver me the hottest eye candy i want a tan pitbull and a cup tits because because my prior girlfriends i they always talk me into buying these fake boobs and they were always rocks and they always say that they'll settle down within a year and then three years goes by i'm like they're still rocks i'm
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
With the little tiff with my brother, when we went to court, We flew in from California. My Bentley was there parked at the LAX airport because we thought we were coming right back. We put the dogs up and he's like, you're sentenced to stay in Pennsylvania for three months or something. I'm like, but your honor, we live in California. My car's in the airport.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Our dogs are there and my brother lives at my house. So he's like, ain't my problem.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
It's a fucking big one. So now I can't even go home to go get your car. I was like, what do you want me to do? Float around of motel sixes around fucking Pennsylvania all day. Why am I sentenced to be in Pennsylvania? All my stuff. I moved to California. Well, tough shit. Like. Yeah, it's very tough.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
It really like made me appreciate everything. Again, we'll all be on a road trip and I'll just like pull over on the side of the road. She'd be like, what are you doing? I'm like, Just appreciating this view for a moment. Yeah. Like, you gotta understand.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I was locked away. Like, the only outside I got to see was a fucking barbed wire fence to smoke a cigarette. Brutal.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
This doesn't feel helpful. That's terrible. Yeah, they make it seem all nice on the brochure. It's right by the beach in Delray. Yeah, but I'm locked up and the beach is right there and you won't even let me go to it.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
We really want, you know, like Yellow Wolf or Tokyo Hotel or something to play during it. And that's not an easy thing because you need the lighting and the stage and all that. So it's not something that's going to happen soon. We're going to plan this really well.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
friends and when I had nowhere to go and I'm sentenced to stay in Pennsylvania and I can't even go home he said come stay with it because they own Duff Electric they have a bunch of properties and you couldn't stay in your own house or you didn't want to so they took us in and they had this really nice house that they wanted to that they just own, but it needs a lot of work.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And it's right on the Delaware River in this cool town called New Hope, which is like this cool little witch town.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So when I went to the pool bar, I ordered a drink, of course. And I overhear somebody talking, listen, I'm 43 years old. I was born in Jersey. I'm Sicilian and Irish. I'm like, and I look over, I'm like, wow, who's... Cecilia Nyers. I'm Cecilia Nyers. I was born in Philly over the bridge. Who are you? She's like, I'm a stretch coach. I'm like, and she's like, I have to go home and walk my dogs.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Favorite music. And I noticed that that was the house that we wanted to fix up and everything. So I just pulled over, got out.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I had these rings in my hand. Once I kissed her at the Duff property, I threw the rings near the waterfall. They're still sitting in there somewhere. But we haven't been back long enough to go find him again.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I'm holding the pit bull. He was all broken. And everybody walking past the dog. It's just searching for food and starving to death. They didn't want anything to do with it. And she gets out. She's all done up like this because we have to go to a horror comic con.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And we're in the ghetto at the skate park under a bridge. They were probably like, who is this chick that just pulled up in a purple fucking Bentley to save this dog with fleas all over it?
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I'm like, what kind of dog? A tan pit bull. I'm like, thank you, God. I've been saved. And I was on a mission. And, you know, the doctor told me in 2013 that my legs were like dry rotted rubber bands from alcohol abuse. And he was pretty much like good luck trying to skateboard again, which is what my passion was. I've been pro since I was 17 years. And because of that, it just made me drink more.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
We'll be sitting there fucking planning shit. I'll be like, I thought the rule is no phones. Hold on, I'm saving a goat from fucking Idaho right now.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
didn't know you know if we show up in indiana and i have a bunch of friends there to do a comic con and we're only there for two days like she'll be like i know you guys got to see him and i'm sorry but we're having fucking date night tonight because you know i'm like cool you know i've never had the courage to say like it's 8 p.m it's over come along to date night yeah
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
You have tamed the Apollo. I'm like, Apollo? You've tamed the Apollo. What do you mean? You've got me in bed by 10. I'm very impressed. You've tamed the Apollo.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
No, I was always on so much Trazodone and Seroquel, and I thought I needed that to sleep, but... At the end of the day, I'm so exhausted from skating and going to the gym and, you know, having such a fun, productive day that I sleep on time.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So when I met her, she's like, don't listen to him at all. I stretch you an hour a day and you're going to get your legs back. And sure enough, they're like 100% again every day. First thing we do is stretch, walk the dogs, and then I'm out looking for a skate spot.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
He's like all drunk. He's like, if we were in Iceland tomorrow, I would have gone off that waterfall. I'm like, but you didn't last time because you wussed out. Yeah, but if we were there tomorrow, I would do it. I'm like, sign this right here. Next day he wakes up and I'm like, you signed the contract and I bought eight tickets to Iceland. He's like, son of a bitch. So we get there.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
We didn't even scope anything out. I found a random ass barrel on the side of the road, sealed it up, pushed him off head first by accident. She's like,
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
What if something bad happened? I'm like, we really didn't think about that. We were fucking punk ass kids.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
It's good. We saw him at his last tour in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Oh, good. We went up with. jimmy pop from the bloodhound gang and um it was rad catching up with him but um quiet quiet quiet you know the last time the first time he went to treatment we were at the um chateau marmont he and we just got a deal signed for him to be on warner they got a really good deal and um
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
he was drinking a lot and he knew I had a prescription to Adderall and he kept asking me for one. And I'm like, dude, I've given you enough. And, and he's like, I'm like, you know what? Just because it's you, I'm not going to say no. So he like started hyperventilating and, um, an ambulance came and that was the first time he went to treatment.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And I think Warner brothers found out that I was the one that had my prescription that he kept asking for. Which kind of sucks because, you know, I didn't drink at all. I didn't drink till I was, well, 23 years old and all that.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
And when I was hanging out with him in Helsinki, Finland, I was so mesmerized by just how rad he was that when we stayed in the same hotel together, he opened up the minibar and cracked open a beer. I'm like... You're just drinking in the day. I thought people only do that at nighttime.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
He's like, I'm not going to let you do it alone. So it was the first time I've been introduced to like day drinking.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I'd say 24 or 25. That's wild. I would have thought it would have been so younger. We were in Davos, Switzerland doing this thing called the Winter Jam for MTV. Sum 41 was playing and this band called Guano Apes and Jackass was there to host the whole thing. And I remember we were staying at this nice hotel in the Alps and somebody started putting these lines out on the table and that was...
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
the first time I tried it. And I had a massage booked right after that. I'm like, I got a massage. All right, if everybody else is doing it, I'll do it. And I did it. I was getting a massage like, I'm going to be fucking done. I can't even relax.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
But never, always terrified of a needle, never messed with heroin or anything. I was surprised to hear that too.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I don't know why people would do heroin or Valium and show up to a bar and fall asleep into their beer. It makes no sense.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Everybody wants to give shout outs and plugs everything. I give a plug to curiosity donuts from fucking Doylestown. They're awesome.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
She still committed to the gym at 5 a.m. the next day and dropped a 40 pound weight on her till it broke down.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Not from my phone because the stripper stole it as well as my credit card. So I called randomly from a number that had South Carolina area code, which is where she's from.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
Yeah, he was a hot mess that weekend. I don't even know if you know this, but then I saw this... psychic lady who basically told me to be a yes man, say yes to everything. So I'm going to see my shop. Oh, that's not, don't tell Bam that I pull in with, I pull in with the Bentley to this gas station in Vista, California. Cause my phone died and I didn't know how to get to his house.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
So I had to charge it in, in the gas station. So I, As soon as I pull up these M13 gangsters with their tattoos, face, and everything, they go, yo, you banned from Jackass? I'm like, yeah. They're like, can we get a photo? I'm like, yes. And they're like, can we sit in your car and get a photo? I'm like, yes. They're like, yo, man, this thing must be fast. Can we go around the block and whatever?
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I'm like, yes. So then we go around the block and we're cracking jokes.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I park at the gas station knowing that my phone's still charging. And I'm like... hang on guys. I leave the car running. I'm like, I got to go get my phone. They're like, all right, cool. So I go in and I'm like, Hey ma'am, can I get my phone? They're like, she's like, I gave it to your friend. I'm like, what friend? I'm from Pennsylvania. I don't have any friends here.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
She's like, well, I gave it to somebody, but you gave my phone away. I was forced to call nine one one. So three cop cars pull up and I guess they were all Larry'd up on whatever, but they thought it was for them. So they took my car. Oh, As the police show up, not knowing that it's for me and my phone. It had nothing to do with them.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
This guy just got out of jail for five years for guns and drugs. And apparently he had guns and drugs on him. So he took my car. I walk out. There's three helicopters in the sky. And I hear from Officer Bentley. I'll never forget. Bentley's been crashed in the house. I'm like, awesome. And I didn't want to press charges because I don't need these guys after me.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
I tagged that I'm at the Vista Skate Park. Next thing you know, I'm going to drive by shooting. So ate the cash on that as well.
Dumb Blonde
TBT: Bam Margera
My buddy was recording at Sun Studios in Memphis at Elvis's place and he had a small bill to pay like three grand. So I gave him my credit card information because the label was going to pay it back. He gets so drunk that night that he spends 20 grand on sunglasses and jackets. on my card and doesn't remember doing it.
