there's anything we take
seriously who's the most it's a journalistic integrity who's the most jackass
it's Knoxville
is the guy that's a the number one yeah Johnny Knoxville can we get him on the
show I'm calling
him on Instagram you're calling Vinny or Vinny Beatle all right well this
better go somewhere
hello hey man hey I just wanted to rap quickly about like what your side of the
story is on
on what we got from Stevo and just I wanted to see like how you're because you
you sent me a pretty
like a pissed off DM on you know well I mean I'll be all right by the way I
hope you're doing good hope
you're doing well too thank you man yeah yeah Nick said I'm with Nick right now
Nick says hi what's up
yeah I've been watching since the beginning of the news show I think it's great
um honestly man I'm doing good
you sound better you sound you sound you sound much better than you normally or
yeah yeah I had a son you know
uh what happened to him he's still he's still here so you have a son you have
yeah I thought you already had a kid you had a wife oh oh oh right okay yeah so
anyways uh so what I just I just I don't know I mean he didn't have to go say
all that stuff I just felt like him admitting that he ruined my tour
he did play like this very large role in uh trying to get me like arrested he
was calling venues and
saying I was just a fan of bam and I had to like return deposits and they were
threatening me with
arrests and it was just this whole thing where he would message me and threaten
me constantly
steve-o steve-o yeah so like I just feel like him saying that I was just like
mad because I'm like
what the fuck dude you know like it's been two years I'm not even in the comedy
business anymore
like I've moved on it's been four years since that tour two years since I've
even been in the business
yeah so what when was your last contact with bam what was that club before it
was like a
blockbuster video before something like that yeah it was it was I don't know
what it was but my last
contact with bam was uh what was it babe like maybe close to a year ago or a
little less than a
year ago I had gotten him away from his guardian I was sending he was I was the
only contact he had
while he was in rehab and I was sending him clips of his family on police body
cam footage his mother
would get him drunk and then call the cop saying he was acting rowdy and they
would re-enter him in
rehab and they were doing that to like siphon his money they sold his house
they sold his cars they
sold all the shit and we're keeping the money you know the brothers living in
the castle started a
studio and so everybody drained him of everything and he didn't really want to
believe me until I
started sending him these videos how did you have access to the body cameras uh
there's a youtuber
named that surprise witness who interviewed me a couple times she's got like a
hundred thousand
followers or some shit like that she interviewed me a couple times so she was
sending me the info and I
was like watching the footage and I'm like fuck I have contact with him let me
send it to him like the
videos I did with her on YouTube then she did a whole series of videos with him
then but they they got
him away from his guardian and and she worked on the Britney Spears shit or
something too I don't know she's a
lawyer or something she got him away from his guardian and he just started like
he wouldn't
like acknowledge like at least steve-o acknowledged like he sabotaged the tour
and cost me a bunch of
money like bam won't even acknowledge I exist online and and to me I got mad
too because like you guys
didn't even realize like he went on tour with steve-o recently and so I'm like
bam you know you cost me a
ton of money he started to pay me back he owed me at one point from like all
the cancellations all the
bullshit like 200 million dollars it wasn't a lot but well it's a lot for me it's
a lot it's
everything at that time and so bam gave me like a couple grand and he started
paying me back and
then you know he stopped and then the jackass shit happened so he does this
tour with steve-o and I
get mad because I'm like dude I've been kind of loyal to you as a friend
helping you get in and out of
these fucking situations so I called him and I was like you're a like why would
you go to steve-o's
comedy no no no reason to drag them into it but okay continue yeah and he was
just like you know
he was just like I don't know why you're so mad for it was just a comedy thing
and I'm like dude
you're not a comedian like we were supposed to do this thing together whatever
we built this thing
with come town which bam always thought you guys were like a local yonkers
radio show you didn't we
come to I would describe come town as a local yonkers yeah I mean that's pretty
much the elevator pitch
and I would try to explain to him how big the audience was and how we anyways I
tried it didn't
work but I was just upset because I did at one point kind of make up with steve-o
because I
I always had these suspicions that steve-o was calling these venues trying to
get me in trouble
but I never really had evidence until he tells you guys he called his agent to
tell him to stop it by
any means necessary well he was saying it was because bam was in a bad way with
a
relapse bam has been in a bad way for 20 years the last two months is probably
the most sober he's
been in 20 years I hear he's doing great and that's the most important thing
yes he's doing fine and I'm
not like contacted we don't have any contact yeah it seems it seems maybe in
part that steve-o's act
was a bit of a class-based wagon circling where it was uh it was like you know
okay we're gonna cut
off this guy not because he's doing anything harmful but because he's poor that
and he doesn't have any power
and also steve-o has always been jealous of bam back from the jackass days
because bam had made all this
money selling the skateboards and the merch he already had set up steve-o didn't
make any money doing jackass
originally now well hold on hold on though wasn't because isn't uh isn't wasn't
bam like uh he had
like a producer credit or something he had like some kind of equity in the jackass
brand you know actually
so how i figured how they made most of their money was bam was already signed
to element from being a pro skater
as a teenager and he just made 50 million dollars because anybody who liked
anything from jackass the
only thing they could buy back then was bam merch like a bam hoodie or a bam
board or something from
element to rock jackass so bam made 50 million and they got you oh okay so so
really steve-o does the
bucket list tour and he sees me doing this tour bam and my whole theory is that
he just didn't want bam to
start to take in on what he's doing until it was beneficial to think bam was
sober enough to take him on his own
tour they made skateboards all this stuff dude bam was kind of sober with him
and snapped into it was
like dude i don't want to be with this kid like he didn't like steve-o he doesn't
like him like that
he's insecure but he doesn't really like him and he thinks he's a horrible skater
and he shouldn't sell
skateboards and he ended up like leaving the tour would you consider yourself
to be a better skater than
steve-o or no steve-o i i barely can i would consider myself to be a better
friend to bam than steve-o and
but you're saying that steve-o had him sober and when you had him he was uh he
was relapsed on drugs and
alcohol uh yeah a lot of that has to do with i mean that doesn't sound so good
for you vinny
no it doesn't but i don't really know i mean i wasn't there i couldn't tell you
if he was drunk
or not or fucked up with steve-o all i know is i thought he was doing better
around that time that's
why steve-o would agree to bring him like i couldn't see steve-o agreeing to
bring him if he
was fucked up i don't know i wasn't there you know but but i only know the last
few months has
been the most sober bam has been so he has relapsed before after the tour
whatever now a kid that's on
wild ride with steve-o this kid vinnie and parada he's like his co-host i went
he's from my hometown
and i know him and he was telling me bam got wild and they lost like kind of
control of him are there
a lot of people named vinnie where you're from yeah yeah how many vinnies were
there in your like
fifth grade class like a lot of us yeah in the whole town and shit yeah yeah
who was like the who's
the best one me i mean this other kid's a fucking he he's like he's like the
type that he got a job
from steve-o because he was zach-ass was getting all fucked up and vinnie rolls
with him and so
steve-o was like if you cancel his tour i'll give you a job and so he did like
steve-o what do you
mean there's a guy zach-ass zach-ass is the big fat one yeah he's in the big
fat guy oh the fat guy
now you're saying he was getting all fucked up you mean on drugs yeah yeah like
zach-ass was all
fucked up on drugs so like they had a tour plan and they were asking me to do
shows with him and steve-o
made that vinnie canceled his tour too but vinnie listened to him i'm like me i
was trying to fight
hold on real quick is it possible that steve-o doesn't know the difference
between you and the
other vinnie the other i think you might be talking about this other guy you're
from what you're from
bridgeport like i gotta be real when he said he's like an abusive boyfriend i
have only dm'd with him
on instagram i've never met this guy in my life and you never dated him either
you never dated him
so maybe so so maybe this just might be steve-o's maybe steve-o's been in a in
like sort of an
abusive homosexual relationship with the other vinnie he knows who i am because
the dm's he first
sent me were very threatening i have four million followers i'll make sure you
never work in the
business of comedy again your little tours aren't real shows and he would call
vinnie he called this
one venue i know specifically in norwalk connecticut they gave me like a twelve
hundred dollar deposit
which i would misappropriate the funds at the time i wasn't like using that but
anyways
what do you without vinnie this is my question because you're not like a drug
addict what were you
spending that money on are you just like cabela's gift cards or something like
what do you blow your
money on on disney on disney experience disney resort olive garden and fucking
whatever
olive garden olive garden how you make it rain at an olive garden you spent
twelve hundred dollars
at olive garden socks for the whole fucking table everything dude what how much
for the whole table
just like whatever you just eat here you ever eat when an italian they just
order enough food for
everybody and shit like classic italian at an italian restaurant yeah
all right but anyways anyway um well listen we just wanted to get your side of
the story because
like listen this is getting you know the show isn't journalism it's comedy it's
just entertainment but
like we don't we want to present both sides for every issue so israel palestine
vinnie uh vinnie
versus steve o versus bam we want to we kind of want to cover this the second
time i came on the
show and nick was like giving me time to like clear my name and i came on and
did the opposite and
admitted to everything that actually made me more favorable to your audience so
like yeah because
what people like i'll tell you what people like is honesty yeah there's there's
a way someone being
sincere well people people being people being but i'm trying to change my life
is where i'm at now
people people like it when somebody is monolithic in their like uh presentation
and identity right you
know what i mean it's like like like vinnie when you lie that's like garfield
eating lasagna
right you know what i mean it's like nobody's gonna be like oh he eats a
fucking lasagna
yeah he eats monday these are these are like aspects of your character that
that uh seem kind
of like uh uh part of the whole they're they're holistic they're not people
yeah like for instance
people like mike tyson is in the hangover movies because he never lied about uh
uh beating and raping
his girlfriend he was always very genuine yeah right yeah yeah you know right
oh no i've enjoyed the
whole process guys it's been great you know years old so yeah steveo dude it's
a pussy move man
talking about me he said he says he doesn't want to bring me up but he told you
guys the whole story
you know he's the one saying i'm like an abusive husband no we kind of pushed
him we pushed him into
that he brought it up before the show and he said he didn't want to talk about
it we kind of took
advantage of him we're not the good guys in this story listen that's unsa that's
that's supposed to
happen you guys are my friend like you said you know what i mean we are your
friend you know yeah
well i just want to know i'm a friend of the show friend of the show i was on
the show scumbag
vinnie was a great episode i hear about it all the time so i know that the
people classic in a lot
of ways in a lot of ways steve-o israel vinnie beetle gaza would you say that
uh yes absolutely
yeah because i i would side with israel but i don't feel like i don't connect
with them in my soul
i feel more gaza i feel more like gaza to be honest yeah it seems like if i was
in an office
somewhere and i had and i had to sell weapons to gaza as long as i can call it
disney merch
i think i'd be able to do that
