BAM talks about Novaks recent situation

[FEARxTHExSPORKS]

damn hes a alright guy but you cant get off the shit unless you want to not need to.

[evanescencegal101]

I feel bad for Novak.

And Bam, because he is OBVIOUSLY upset about this whole thing. But, if Novak doesn't stop now chances are he never will...

[MoRRisoNRisiN]

bams right he will never change its pretty sad

[dreamsellernovak1]

when steve-o bam and novak are together, bam always says how they are so alike.

but look at sober-o now. up and well on dancing with the stars. he worked hard to make that commitment and now he's making a comeback.

hopefully they really are alike and novak will follow in his footsteps.

[soMa3889]

steve-o's sober?

and on dancing with the stars?!

[dreamsellernovak1]

yup. they only had 1 elimination so far.

steve-o's still in the competition even though he got injured . you could watch it on abc on monday nights.

[soMa3889]

yeh i watched a video on here of steve-o in the competition

he's actually not that bad

[dreamsellernovak1]

yeah but he seems to be getting hurt alot.

who would hav thought that of all the things he does, ballroom dancing is the thing that injures him.

if his back was 100% , he'd be giving his 110%!! but he's ryl trying.

[rjCKYfan]

he has more of a fuckin image than novak

[je55e71189]

Yeah bam probably does alot of coke, but that is nothing compared to heroin....if u ever watch the show intervention- you will never see anyone addicted to coke...maybe crack-but not coke....

[MAKER6450]

crack is coke....its just been cooked into rocks.

[ughxugh]

Not hard drugs--and definitely not heroin.

[MAKER6450]

no not heroin but coke...lots n lots of coke...the only differance between bam and novak is that bam can afford it and novak cant. if novak could afford his addiction hed be able to hide it....just like bam hides his coke use.

[MoRRisoNRisiN]

and u snuck into bams house and saw him using coke?? no ok then shut the fuck up asswipe

[btimms315]

Well of course hes not laughing about it. Hes really disappointed and and just unhappy about the whole situation. Im the same way in bad situations.

[CrazyBoyMiester]

Bam isn't laughing at Novak,if you ever watch Bam,this is how he speaks,always with that Bam smile.

[savvyspirals]

Bam seems really bothered by this, I didn't get the impression he was making fun at all. Of course, I'm the kind of person who tends to smile in uncomfortable situations... it doesn't mean I'm happy. But just look at the way he keeps shaking his head, and looking around, and looking away... it almost looks like he's trying not to cry. It's a real sad situation.

[OprahLight]

For those who think Bam is laughing at the whole thing, try to watch the video with sound off and just watch his body language. He IS unhappy. Don't let the words and smile fool you, some people are just like that, they smile so they wouldn't have to cry.

[Epilepsy4tw]

exactly my point

[Epilepsy4tw]

I don't think he's laughing at Novaks problems or anything, if you've ever had a friend and tried to talk about them cause they were like this, I know at least for me, you dont know what to do really so you kinda smile or giggle cause its so hard to grasp on to the reality that they cant be helped. I hope he betters himself though, but like Bam said he's a lifer. Once you've been a drug addict, your always a drug addict cause as soon as you can get em again your right back on them.

[btimms315]

man, he looks so much like his dad.

[MIkeCampbellCKY]

he looks like jess too lolz

[anamargera]

Tough love Novak. Tough love.

[raccoonman14]

hey what type of camera was used in this vid..

[bubblesui]

Bam isn't really a good friend, but is Novak GF an addict?

[je55e71189]

Bam isn't a good friend? Are you kidding?

[bubblesui]

friend yes, good friend no

Only my opinion and nothings gonna change it.

so don't freak out

[je55e71189]

Im not freaking out

I just think a friend that will take you in and let you live with you for nearly 5 years,rent Free -when your nearly 30, instead of being homeless is a good friend...

...Bam is probably just fed up with all the lying and betrayal that Novak has ultimately shown

[bubblesui]

Idk, I just feel like some of the things that Bam has done added to Novaks problems

[Charmz133]

disagree, bam took novak into his house AWAY from drugs. I think Bam did the best he could as a friend.

[MAKER6450]

yeah and bam made fun of him the whole time he was there

if he was doing the best he could to help him, he wouldnt be laughing at his problem.

[Charmz133]

he happens to be in the business of COMEDY. you only see whats on screen. everytime novaks on camera is bam supposed to get all sappy? no. noone has any idea how much bam does or doesn't to for him. all i know is he took him from being homeless into his million dollar home with people who love him. But of course according to you he could do sooo much more.

[dai987]

you do realise that bam acctually paid for the car? all the stunts and skits are set up and was done just to provide us with entertainment

[shockadelica101]

Maybe if the spotlight would dodge Brandon Novak for a few years , he would be able to recieve the help he needs. Drug abuse of his severity needs special attention, but don't you dare think about calling Dr. Drew

[CosmicDestroyer99]

Novak I feel for you buddy..I've been in and out the hospitals since 13..I'M CRAZY

[nickfallenzero]

It wouldn't be fair for him to give up on him now.If people would've given up on me, I would be dead. Don't give up on loved ones.

[97126562a]

i have nothing to say about him bam should drop him right now wheres bran been anyway i miss him

[CrunkFizz12]

Bam is just saying whats true, he has known the kid since the 6th grade, and he has seen time and time again it happen, he is just stating what is true after like what 17 years of his drugs use, u can tell it hurts him he is just tryin to not show it

[MonicaBailey]

It's very sad. Novak is just going to go back to his old ways, like a week after he gets out. It's not that I don't have hope for him, it really just seems like he's a lost cause. He needs some serious therapy to sort out all of his issues! The poor guy, I do wish him the best! You're a good friend Bam!

[punknathanguy]

you can tell it looks like it hurts him to say that about his friend but he kinda knws that the chances of novak changing arent to high, fuck drugs the shit has consumed some of my best friends too.

[bloodredroses88]

If he hadn't of started the drugs again Bam and his family wouldn't of kicked him out. It's his own fault he's a loser. I'm not surprised he's in there, he never really had any motivation to do anything with his life apart from drink drugs and fuck everything with legs even when he was proper famous.

[Mr910NC]

i really dont have any respect for bam cause all these years he has always made novak do crazy shit.he never tried to help him.he was always makin jokes about this shit.

[FiddeGargamel]

WTF! never tried to help him?

do you think that novak would be alive if it wassnt for bam??

[333yardy333]

you must not know the background of novak to think bam never tried to help him.

bam saved his life and gave him a home for 5 years or more without bam novak would be dead or living on the street wasting all his money on drugs tbf he still does spend all his money o drugs thats why bam dont give a fuck that he in a mental institution he threw it back in bams face after bam trying to help him

[sk8erbrdhs]

bam also gave him a $20,000 watch. Novak says he got jumped and it was stolen, most think he sold it for a fix. Help is all Bam has ever done for the guys.

[MzNina86]

novak was at the note on sat & he seemed cool, but like bam said..it's just a matter of time till he gets his hands on pills again! i hope novak will get better.. I told him 2 stay out of trouble 2 & he said ok, but u never know with novak!

[numbestdumbest]

Bam's a fucking prick

[bbygurl887]

your a fucking prick

[dreamsellernovak1]

looks like bam's given up hope for novak. i finally think he's right on this.

bam was the one that was trying so hard back in the day to get novak back up to a pro skater again and now this.

still love the guy, but he's not changing.

its sad.

[DressedNDecay]

Come on, as much as I like Bam it just seems like he was using Novak for entertainment. Yea I know they're friends but having a person do whatever you want just cause you're letting him live at your house for free is kind of shitty for a 'friend'. Have you all seen some of the shit Bam has made Novak do? How Bam would parade his 'junkie friend' around WC to show him off to people at bars? Why abuse a junkie? Plus, wasn't Novak abused as a child? I'm sorry it just seems fucked up.

[ElEcTrOnIc4now]

I love u Bam its ok novak wil b fine

[sebbam59]

c'est con se que novak fait!!!!

[ereraho]

Bien dit!

LoL

[bbygurl887]

english!

[jocelynbiggs2]

I feel bad for Bam, he's done so much to help Novak and you can see the pain in his eyes. I just hope that Bam can no that he's done everything he can and im sure he will continue to. Bams a good friend and Novak is lucky to have him. Hopefully he will get his act together.

[PINBALLxWIZARD]

its so sad that what bam is saying is 100 percent true. really do hope novak gets his shit together.

[GRANS445]

i done hard drugs fur years man,lost most of my brainsells in the process,it aint worth it man,ive seen my friends end up sellin there familys fuckin tv for a fuckin fix,DONT DO FUCKIN DRUGS

[ILoveYouMaryJ]

Bams a good friend wish you the best Brandon stay strong!

[satanicalady08]

I hope that for the sake of his child that Novak does get his life together and under control. He reminds me so much of a close friend of mine that went through the same thing. I could tell that Bam is hurting and he doesn't want to lose his best friend. But it is a lost cause to try to help or save someone that doesn't want to be helped or saved. Only he can take control of his own life. I wish Novak best!

[PussingEye]

Bam is totally right. I have seen it a million times between friends and family. And have lost alot of them. The problem needs to be stopped before it becomes a serious problem and that's what people don't realize. They let it get to the point Novak is at and there's no turning back for that person. It's sucks big time, but once people are set in their ways, there is nothing anyone can do for them. I am dealing with a simular problem with a family member, and like Bam said, he's a lifer.

[dane4371]

Although this is sad to hear, I have to agree with Bam. How many times has Novak said he is clean and not doing drugs anymore? This is something he is going to have to overcome himself. I still wish him the best.

[bamgarrido]

that's true

[vincentsheart]

laugh or cry right??

[imrecock]

He looks like he just cried, and now trying to put a face on for the camera.

[boredparents]

its sad but true novaks a lifer and its just a matter of time till he puts the wrong combos together and doesn't come back. but its hard to stay sober when your surrounded by drugs and alcohol on a constant basis.

[bamgarrido]

what more do you want BAM to do? Seriously, he's help Novak since like FOREVER and Novak will and has never changed. He will never change. Not for you, not for me, not even for his mom. I have an uncle who is addicted to crack and he's in jail right now and i feel much better when addicts are locked up either in a hospital or jail cause next thing you know they could end up 6 feet under us. You catch my drift

[AMANDAlert]

I'm definately NOT a fan of Novak.

Glad to know he's put away.

[Bamargera18]

sad but true...

[slyparadox6]

Steve-O had to pay for living up to the title of Steve-O as well.

Anyone with a mental illness is a "lifer", it doesn't matter if you're in or out of the looney bin. If you have an addiction, you're a "lifer".

But our country is not built to support poor people with mental illnesses, and even if you DID have insurance, 90% of them only pay for a month stay a year (not good if you're really badly ill). The rich want to stay rich and the only way to do that is (Rx) drug wars.

[kingkill13]

I know it seems that Bam could give a shit less about Novak, but its just Bams way to cope with things and keep a mellow mind on the important shit. Its not that he doesnt care, he just doesnt know what to do next. he put alot of his life towards helping Novak, yea he fucked with him, but i think it was just his way of keeping Novak away from more tempting things. Tough love, brotherly love...that kinda stuff.

[moovy1]

If the guy can stay off everything for a good year, eat right and exercise....and start a stable work routine...he's got a shot. The only way to beat addiction is to show your body and mind that life without drugs is possible...which takes time. But who is willing to monitor this guy like that for a YEAR?

[Shitbirdz]

fuck novak

[zmoney682]

hahaha shitbirdz

[ryrn182]

who cares dude novaks been his friends for like 15 years shut the fuck up and let them both live their lives!!!!!!!

[queencordy44]

If you think he is a lost cause, Then I wouldn't hang out withhim anymore because than ur saying that it if he does anything muffed up it's okay because thier an addict.....Wasn't novak put in the looney bin for the same thing a year ago? I think Bam gave up on Novak after Novak stole from him on that Moxy Canada trip. Does this mean that Bam is not going to be his friend anymore?

[Legenda91]

true

[BamBoy88]

At least Bam and friends come to terms that Novak can not actually change.

[pridekills123456789]

I watched bam take brandon in on the haggard extras and he really tried to shape him up and get him on the right path and that was like 2003 or so after around 6 years of trying to help a friend you kinda loose hope. he really is a lost cause he likes the attention it brings him (Novak). I hope, But doubt This mental Institution will do much to put Novak in the right direction.

[leonie2182]

he never tried to help him, he always encouraged him to do shit. Although he did do alot for novak it was always at a price for novak living up to his standards of being "novak". I like him and its sad he will prob always have a problem. I hope he can make his life better and i hope he will actually get support from his friends All bam can do is have a smirk on his face and say he is a lost cause? he didnt mention anything about support. I hate how bam has changed into a fucking celeb cockfuck.

[noita0]

I don't doubt Bam's good intentions, he tried to support him with food and shelter and something to do, but it wasn't enough/the right thing, and now Novak has his role as Bam's sidekick "Druggie Novak".

But what is Bam supposed to do? You now this friend of yours can die anytime (he overdosed several times), so you have to protect yourself.

[kittenkT21]

FINALLY HE IS NOW REALIZING THAT BRANDON NOVAK IS A LOST FUCKING CAUSE AND WILL NEVER CHANGE! yeah.. it suck that they're best friend but you cannot make someone change. for novak to actually stay clean, he would have to quit being friends with all of you guys to better himself. he has to be around people who do not drink nor do drugs. he's going to die either way.. question is.. do you want yall wanna be there when he happens or say goodbye now and hope he can save himself.

[mocha7]

i have a friend just like novak

the worst is when you know there is just no way anything will change....

[engagedinrage]

man novaks a cool dude but a real peice of shit too
