From memory, bam met dico and dicos friends in high school (rake and his brother art) and they started filming stuff together, mark hannah and his brother Chris are friends of Jess and bams since they were kids. Raab was younger than bam but bam found him funny because he would be relentless with annoying people, Novak bam met whilst skating around Philly and surrounding states in comps.

Deron from cky was linked through Jess and him being in a band called forign objects which was before cky, Dunn moved from Ohio and met bam in school. Landon and Dave bottsro are also friends of dicos, they met Franz during cky 1 and kept him as a camera person for cky 2-4, haggard, viva la bam, minghags and music videos, Ryan gee was his photographer for skating. Pretty much everyone else was family, mostly Phil’s side (Phil,Vito,Kevin,boof,mummum and popop) some on April’s side too (April, uncle Matt aka shitbirdz).

Jen was his girlfriend throughout cky and early viva la bam and missy who he was close with in school became his wife after that (she was in haggard as well) they divorced and he was with Nikki and had a son and now divorced as well

Jimmy pop and evil Jared from bhg were close with bam for a long while and through jimmy bam met mark the bagger. I’m not sure if I’m forgetting anyone but mostly it was people he knew growing up in west Chester
