I’ve been catching up on all his ‘lore’ (whatever the kids say) and am just amazed by the fact that, despite all this evidence of him being…nasty, he’s never actually come forward and said sorry, about anything.
Why do you think he has such an aversion to taking accountability and owning up to the harm he’s caused people?
Like at the height of his fame was he regularly flying private, or was he always a commercial guy.
Gallagher was Ryan for sure tho.
The second one is also what I see when I think about Bam, then losing Dunn, and then estranged. But I also think Bam has found Dani & new friends and is alive today because Dunn is still looking out for him.
“Don’t Feed Phil”
I believe there’s only 2 versions of this board, if so, here they are! Both original 👌🏻
First, I’ll give him some credit: physically, he looks the best I’ve ever seen him in years, and these are probably the most coherent, well-constructed sentences I’ve heard him put together in a long time. The first third of the interview genuinely feels like you’re watching a Bam who’s finally turning a corner.
But about a third of the way in, it slips right back into the same old script: it’s everybody else’s fault, I got kicked off the movie for having one Coors Light across the country, they ruined my life, the real secret to sobriety is I was just bored, and all the other Bam talking points we’ve heard over the last couple of years. At some point, we’re the fools if we keep expecting something different from this guy.
Not to pile on, but he tells a story about Ryan Dunn going over a waterfall in a barrel in Iceland, and I had to look up the clip on YouTube. Watching it through 2026 eyes, it’s still funny in places, but it’s also pretty disturbing how little concern Bam seemed to have for his friend being sealed inside a barrel and sent over a waterfall. Some of that can absolutely be chalked up to dumb teenagers doing dumb teenager things, but there’s also a level of indifference that feels like it carried well into his adulthood.
This stems from me seeing the new 'Cant Kill Yourself' book and seeing the pictures of Vito in there, the comments I see under any CKY/VLB video upload, or even the content of the video itself being about Vito.
I get they can't just get rid of history, and this guy was a part of the family, but it's so weird when people talk about this dude being so funny/memorable like he wasn't convicted for the sexual assault of two 12-year-old girls and one 14-year-old girl.
There's a Youtube channel called Living Proof New York and they do interviews with skateboarders. They have a new video up with Bam. (I'm about to watch it so have nothing to say yet).
Also they are releasing a book of unpublished photos called Can't Kill Yourself exclusively for their members. It has unpublished photos from the making of cky and vlb and other shit.
Looks like it is $20 to join and I'm not a member yet but strongly considering it.
I know a lot of people don't feel the same way I do about Jackass, but this franchise meant a lot to me. It came out when I was in high school, and I fell in love with it from day one.
These movies were more than just dumb stunts and chaos to me. They were about friendship, not taking life too seriously, and making each other laugh no matter what.
Watching the final movie honestly felt like saying goodbye to old friends. I loved every minute of it, and yeah... I even teared up a little.
They say it's the end, but I hope Jackass continues in some form someday. Thanks for all the laughs, guys. 🛒💥
I loved this growing up. I’m just so happy to see him skate again!
Just walked out of Best and Last. This bit was gold, totally worth the price of admission alone.
Anyone know what brand boots Bam is wearing?
