“For anyone that is getting ready to type something negative, just think out side the box,” he wrote in part of one post caption. “The picture might look insane to a person who knows academic mathematics, but look at this as arabic, japanese, thai, spanish, latvian, ougadougadou, namibian, etc to you it looks fโed up cause you dont know what it means.”
“So your basically saying japanese are fโed up? Lithuanians? Russians? You cant understand it if you didn’t learn it. Dummy,” Margeraย added.

In response to Bam’s posts, and many fans claling for the Jackass cast to help him, former Jackass co-starย Chris Pontiusย commented on one post, explaining their stance.
“To Everybody asking the Jackass Guys to help Bam, We are trying and have been, but no matter how loudly help screams his name, it’s up him to want to be better and not somebody who publicly degrades their Wife and Mother and takes accountability for it,” he said. “I wouldn’t write this publicly, but we all get told to go help Bam so much, I might as well answer.”
Notably, in one recent post, Margeraย seems to have implied that Johnny Knoxville met up with him for his trip to meet with Dr. Phil.
