About two years ago, I was living in center city Philly by Jeweler's Row. On a random Saturday afternoon, I walked a block to Washington Square park to let my 5 month old Corgi puppy take a piss and burn off some of his energy. After a few minutes of being there a woman approached me and in what i thought to be a Scandinavian'ish accent told me that my puppy was cute and asked if she could pet him. (Living a block from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, you hear all kinds of accents from tourists so it's business as usual) I of course said yes. As she started messing around with my pup, I saw what I assumed to be her boyfriend/husband slump down into one of the park benches and laid on his back. He was dressed in some punk'ish or goth attire. I wasn't sure which. He said something to the effect of "whats up, man?" to me and i replied "not much bro, you?" He didn't respond but seemed like he was drunk or fucked up on something. Mind you it was only around noon. I got a clear view of his face and it was Bam. He looked strung out, fucked up and even though he's like 4-5 years older than me, he looked prematurely aged in a way that suggests he's a long time addict. Having grown up in Norristown and the CKY videos being hugely popular during my later teen years, it was really depressing to see Bam look like a junkie. After that meeting I looked him up and it was around the time he had a game show about to come out on TBS. To be honest, the show looked like absolute dog shit from the trailer but I thought maybe since he had a show locked down he wasn't a junkie or drunk.

Now I read your reply and it seems he is still fucking around with that shit. Good on you for being a true friend but in my experience, you can lead a horse to water but can't force them to drink. I hope you can help him but it's ultimately up to him.

exactly. honestly its more of the show covering their asses. someone killing themselves after getting crushed on the show isn't going to be good for PR.

Shocking that this top comment wasn't answered...

The financial and realistic part of me reads this response as you are just barely treading water. You compare first world wages and than compare the local economy wages as justification.

Thanks for a shitty AMA where you only respond to safe questions!
