Funny watching this today, seems like Bam and Novak switched roles.

When Bam said "I already lost one best friend" my heart broke into pieces....

This rehab trip was Brandon’s last, he’s been sober ever since 💙

Love seeing how great Novak's doing now. An inspiration 🖤💜

Bam sounds way better than the last time I heard him. That's refreshing because I grew up on everything the guy's done.

Bam if you see this, I know you’re fighting your own battles now, but I just want to say that you are truly a saint for doing all the things you did and standing by Brandon Novak all those years. If I ever had a friend like you, I would consider myself the luckiest man in the world. Wish you all the best!

Damn it's sad how table's have turned. Addiction and habits are hard to break. Novack did what my brother couldn't.

This is DEFINENTLY the old Bam talking. We FINALLY have the old Bam BACK! :)

Novak is blessed to have good family like Bam. He's a really good friend!

it's crazy this is two days after he got admitted and nows he's 5 years clean

I feel so bad for Novak's mom. Not many people are willing to spend $80,000 on multiple rehabs, just to have that person relapse over and over. You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. So sad

Let’s see bam do what he told Novak to do.

Sorry that he is going through this, but it's great he has you guys there for him. I lost my wife 2 weeks ago to a morphine overdose. Drug abuse is no joke and not an easy thing to deal with. For a long time my life was flipped upside down, I am now on the path of recovering my life and trying to get things back in order.

Bam preaching or even speaking to anyone about addiction or a self destructive lifestyle is the old saying of the pot calling the kettle black !

Breaks my heart that bams so messed up right now and Novak clean didn't see that one coming

Now look who just hit rock bottom, it's not Novak this time...

since youre on the subject, next week frantz you should record a phone call with you and novak confronting bam about the alcoholism that has destroyed his life for over 10years, keep this forward momentum!

Bam and Joe are probably the best and helpful friends Novak could ever have and I wish I had friends like them in my life when I went through my bull shit. Novak always had such a promising life and hope his sobriety sticks this time.

God love you frantz. you do not get nearly enough credit for what you did.. you helped Novak through tough love..Which is love,for years you did. You are such a great guy just like Zack crashing into the trailer. You were so concerned .Novak was lucky to have a few great people around

This is such a sad thing, but thank you to Frantz and Bam for allowing us to be able to listen to all this and let us into their personal lives in this way because it helps us who have loved ones with addiction problems. I pray for Novak as well as all his friends who are going through all this that they remain strong and get through it all. You guys have definitely helped me personally with being so open about what you go through, which has helped me with my own best friend who has addiction problems and is thankfully clean. So thank you again!

Good lord how the tables have turned. Novak is doing seminars and events and is years sober. Bam is unraveling for the 200th time in public and is struggling with alcohol/depression. Sucks man.

Being a recovering alcoholic and heroine/pill addicted for 4 yrs he was lucky to have a friend like Bam. And Ban deserves to live a normal life and not have to deal with someone killing themselves. He should of cut ties with Novak a long time ago. I lost all my friends and it helped me realize that I needed help. I don't blame my old friends for what they did.

Bam sounds like Novak did when he was in denial

truly a sad situation, I wish the best for you Novak in your battle.

This is crazy considering this was the trip to rehab that actually worked for Novak… i hope to hear one of these for Bam looking back in a few years

hey man this video helped me a lot ...I WAS Novak and I have lost all my friends that were brothers and now that I've cleaned up they still a don't want to be in my life..and now I understand why..I wish I could change the past but I can't my friends are gone because of me and no one else..I guess that's the way addiction works...you feel great and not worry about anything for years then you clean up and realize you have lost the best things in life...I thank you for this because now I know how Joe and Scott and Dillon feel..I'm a true fuck up and I can never change what I have done...but at least I'm clean that's what I have day to day being sober is what counts ...I feel sorry for my brother's and wish I was still one of the boys ...but they made the right decision that was best for them....if I was with them now I think I would be completely different.. but that's in the past I'm 32 now and have nothing to show for it all because of drugs and alcohol...to those who read this comment...don't do what I did and lay back and success pass you by ...stay clear headed and think about the long run because the long run is what can help you lay back and relax in the future...my name is Gabriel and I am just starting to live life the way I should have years ago

No matter what anyone thinks is of Bam-he is a good loyal forgiving and generous friend. And now he needs the same. Repay the favor for Bam and make sure he gets healthy.

I'm so pleased to hear bams resolution on this and also admit he was enabling him. I saw/ met Novak at a ffu gig and he was glamorised as 'pill Colin's'. It wasn't funny, it was tragic. I know how hard it is to love some one with addiction and the hardest thing is realising that to truly help, you need to let them hit rock bottom and help themselves. This doesn't always have the outcome you want and it's heartbreaking. Very brave to put this out there guys.

This video will help addicts/families of addicts. Thank you Frantz!

I'll never forget...my little bros skin was dark blue in the hospital until they brought him back to life. He's been clean for years on years now but that was the worst day of my life. I fell asleep on Christmas dinner and Christmas eve dinner at the fucking table dude 😓 talk about feeling shame...I'll never forget how so many ppl I used to know and chill with are now dead or are heading there. Drugs don't kill ppl, people who choose to use them kill themselves. It's a decision; make the right one.

Ok, I missed some parts of the conversation 'cause english isn't my mother language and when Bam talks it's difficult for me to understand, but you guys did everything to help Novak... Hope he can battle his addiction.

the needle and the damage done

Thanks for the great videos

No more fucking heroin right?!

I met bam on Halloween 2018. I'm 6 months clean. Walking 7miles to go get the dope hits home. I remember doing crazy shit to get my fix. It's crazy man not good. You will do anything. It's not like any other drug. It's shitty. I still think about it sometimes but I just take my Suboxone and end up staying clean. Gym has also helped

Thanks for making this vid Frantz. What Bam says about doing the same thing expecting different results is straight out of recovery. The con artist as well. My rock bottom was endless. If you think you hit rock bottom, keep looking bc there's a trap door down there.

Brandon has been a great recovery warrior. The past is past 🎉

"He keeps doing the same thing expecting different results" So do you bam. So do you...

LOL I remember people were posting that Novak was stranded at BWI airport and begging on social media for people to come pick him up.

This sucks. The dude has the potential and awesome friends to help him get clean and he keeps fucking you guys over. You guys are awesome for helping him through and through. Only time will tell what will happen.

Someone should take him to where he can get IBOGAINE treatment.

I've been Novak many times before In my life unfortunately still am

There aren't too many times where you and Bam are on tape in a real moment, and I dig 'em. There are a few, but not very many. I like hearing shit like this.

Novak Needs To be clean again. We dont want to lose another Great Guy :( Like we lost dunn :( RIP Ryan

So crazy how Novak and Frantz would later be talking about Bam being out of control

You guys should take him south of the equator and have him do an Ayahuasca ceremony. My brother went with an addiction to heroin and pills and after one 12 hour session he saw all the damage he was doing to everyone around him and he's never touched any of it again. He lit a cigarette outside the airport before we left for home and couldn't finish it. He quit smoking that day.

Im clean i had to surrender and want sobriety honest open minded and willing to give up my way and try something else thats what works for millions millions who stay sober

Bam has a big heart. I'm impressed.

7:33 little did Bam know… Novak HAD hit rock bottom. Listen to Brandon’s stories. He talks about how, shortly after this incident, his mom served him with a restraining order. Now, having lost the last two people who would put up with him, Novak entered his last rehab and cleaned up.

That's a good friend, Novak should be thankful,

I've watched this video like three times Frantz and I know novak will never be better ever..

That was a pretty mature statement from Bam about him becoming part of Brandons insanity. The last I knew now though, is that Bam was a raging alcoholic. This is a mess all the way around.

Novak is now clean! Amen Lord Big Baby Jesus

Dude I've lost a millions friends. I don't wanna lose another friend... how the tides change.. n novak NEVER shit on bam like that.

Damn, I hope he's alright, I read his book, it helped me with my addictions!!!!

Wait novak relapsed?? damn man that makes me sad as shit i thought he was clean for a long time

Stop Bam, I'm on the phone, STOP IT!

THIS WAS EXCELLENT, JOE AND BAM!!!

I don't think anything can help novak but himself. Bam's got him on tv shows, book deal, and helped him get into rehab numerous times. There's only so much bam can do.

I overdosed on heroin & my kidneys and liver shutdown, i'm only 26 years old & have been an addict since I was 12, now I have to take dialysis 3 times a week for four hours each day! I've been to rehabs I know what it's like to fean for the needle! Maybe it's going to take Brandon's kidneys to shut down for him to wake up. I really hope his rock-bottom is not a graveyard!!!! You can do it Brandon!!!!

crazy to hear this story now thinking of how everything is totally 180ed

Glad your back on youtube frantz!

This was right before Bam's voice and brain changed forever. Yah mawn!

my cousin is on heroin, it kills me everyday. we were like brothers growing up, i basically lived with him. now hes too far gone, no one stops until they want to.

First dunn we dont need novak gone also! Keep fightin buddy

Bam is the biggest enabler of all.

Bam is just the spokesperson for any form of sobriety!!! 😂😂😂

I have followed some of the Brandon and Bam Saga. What Bam just had to say is the truth. No one is going to be there for Brandon if he pushes everyone away. I know this because I am the same way. I push people away. Rehab for a long time is apart of the answer. The other part is wanting to be SOBRE and liking it! SHIT thats the tough part but it gets easier. Brandon I hope you are well and Bam I hope you stand by your friend.

Thank you so much for uploading this!

His novack voice is funny

There's no happy ending here.

It starts small..pills..you know youve opened pandoras box completely when you start putting a needle in your arm. And it takes alot of work to STAY clean. That lifestyle is absolutely hellish

I hope he keeps himself sober for his mom and his Friends sake and most importantly himself but I know his mom and she's a sweet and cool lady

How did I not find this before

thank you.

Poor Bam,he didn't learn a shit from that lesson

Wish bam would take his own exact advice from this interview

This was during Novak’s 13th rehab visit which was his last since than he’s stayed sober. At least there’s that to look forward.

I miss Radio Bam!!!

Everyone please sub to frantz he’s doing such a great job here giving us the real intel to save lives

That really sucks..... Someone will not recover if they do not want to. They can go to rehab 100 times but it has to be THEM to want to. Not anyone else. All the love and support cannot help someone like that.. He's kindof a lost cause...

Novak needs to take a page outa steve-os book... he is inspirational from the changes he overcame... look at him now!

Sometimes even if you love the person. There is no saving them.

wow look at how coherent bam is here. YEESH now look at him...................

u have helped me today

I hope Brandon will appreciate your friendship one day BAM

i think its hilarious that they are all still 17 on the inside bam & novaks friendship really highlights this fact!!!

About time you uploaded!

Ironic Bam's being so tough on him (justifiably), when this is the rehab stint that actually stuck with Novak n now Bam's taken his place n fallen into a bad addiction

he come to an na meeting so high he was trying to put the chair in the trash can at the end lol

Its sad when you care people and then they won't change

Sounds to me as if Bam as been clean for a little while now. I heard is completely off the booze and is getting a little healthy, which is great news.

this is EXACTLY why you and novak need to stay strong and be just as hard on Bam as you both were on Novak. cuz Novak is alive and sober today.

"Think we're being too hard on him." I don't think so...maybe too light. There's plenty of footage where his out of control drug-fueled behavior is talked about with good humor and laughter. If you want him to take it seriously, you can't act like his antics while he's high are something to be considered amusing or good stories.

Bam is gorgeous inside and out

I think it may be time to start a book on Bam's addictions.

My dad ran into Novak and Andy Roy at a detox center

infighting *rubbing of hands intensifies*

Who on Earth would possibly have given this the "Thumbs down"???? I don't get it...

Novak got his revenge hard though. Now it's him on the show talking about Bam. Crazy.
