Former Jackass stars Steve-O and Bam Margera appeared on stage together as part of Steve-O's ongoing "Bucket List" tour. Bam Margera has endured an up-and-down public battle with alcohol addiction over the past few years, and his presence on the tour appeared to indicate improvement. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse after the show.
That night, Bam posted this old photo featuring himself, Steve-O and third Jackass cast member, Johnny Knoxville. In the post, he praises Steve-O for being a "best friend who had my f**king back all along," and lashes out at Knoxville calling him a "poser," and "pro creation thief." He also calls out Jackass producer Jeff Tremaine. Both of these attacks are likely related to his removal from the most recent Jackass production, Jackass Forever, which occurred after he checked himself into rehab during filming.
In a since-deleted comment, Steve-O calls the post "vile," and urges Bam to pull himself together. "I brought you on tour with me in hopes that I could get you to see what's possible for you if you choose recovery. I've tried everything I can, but I can't force you to get honest and do the work of recovery."
The comment is gut-wrenching and feels like a genuine last-ditch effort to save a friend. "You're dying, brother, and it sucks that I can't do anything to save you."
Steve-O is no stranger to addiction and has spoken openly about his path to recovery from alcoholism and more. His own journey no doubt makes it that much harder to watch his friend struggle. Here's to hoping Bam can finally get the help he needs for the sake of himself, his friends, and his family.
Gen Z Has Discovered the Original Version of 'Let’s Get It Started'
So how, exactly, did we get to know the current version of the song — one it seems we can agree is far superior to its predecessor? Thank none other than the NBA.

Despite their persistent passion for the Y2K resurgence, low-rise jeans, the Juicy Couture tracksuit and dad sunglasses, the Zoomers recently discovered that much like 9/11, mail anthrax, and the Bush family’s political presence, some things are better left in the 2000s — namely, the original version of “Let’s Get It Started” by the Black Eyed Peas.
Yep, after nearly two decades of hearing the song at sporting events, school dances and probably on some oldies stations tbh, TikTok has discovered that “Let’s Get It Started” originally went by a *much* different moniker — one involving a certain slur that starts with “r” … that aptly describes those who continue to use it.

The year was 2004. Normal Sweet Baby Rays consumer Mark Zuckerberg launched TheFacebook. The world was first introduced to the absolute banger that is
“Mr. Brightside” former President Ronald Reagan finally did us all a favor and died, and the NBA was searching for the perfect song to score that year’s playoffs.
Not wanting to blast the r-word on national television, the Black Eyed Peas re-recorded the track with the much more wholesome lyrics we’ve come to know and love today for the slot. The de-slurred song’s success was so resounding that the band ultimately decided to give the track another go, releasing the clean version as a single before retroactively swapping out the original on their 2003 album, Elephunk.
Yet amid the revelations, one that has left Gen Z wholly baffled as to what the actual hell was going on in the mid-2000s, it seems a handful of fans are still bitter, longing for the whole 30 seconds that song existed on it own.

While we aren’t the biggest fans of nostalgia, there is a special place in our hearts for younger generations discovering how insane our past is.
