I think I can peel back the curtain just a little bit here and share with you guys that the reason I wanted to bring Bam on tour is because I am real f***in' worried about him' I think I can peel back the curtain just a little bit here and share with you guys that the reason I wanted to bring Bam on tour is because I am real f***in' worried about him.' It all doesn't mean sh** if it doesn't have a happy ending where you f***in' come out the other end happy and healthy and a good father and f***in' thriving in your career. 'And with all the rehabs and the jails, what's the plan now?' he asked Bam, chuckling. 'A judge has stripped me from all my rights and I just completed my own rock and roll tour of ten different rehabs for a year-and-a-half in Florida.' I've been bracing myself for that f***in' awful news and I can't stand it, man.' Comparison: On stage in Salem, Margera called himself 'the Britney Spears of Jackass' and explained his connection to the pop star. I've tried everything I can, but I can't force you get honest and do the work of recovery.' Steve-O said: 'My dear friend Bam here is new to the idea of putting together an act. '...I've had a legal guardian make my decisions for a year,' declared Bam. Remember I tattooed that on me long ago jeff? If Jeff tremaine was in this photo, he would be to greedy to fit.'
