REPOST: Travis Chappele This week, I’m making friends with Brandon Novak on the show. In this episode, we chat about Brandon’s childhood, his parents, how he got into pro skateboarding, why he became addicted to heroin among other drugs, how we came to find the Jackass crew, and why he eventually became sober. We also talk about his addiction recovery clinics, how we became a best selling author, and what he is up to these days. I gotta say, I wasn’t expecting to have this much fun and get this

Brandon Novak on Instagram: "In the daylight, I lived the dream, a castmate on MTV’s Jackass and Viva La Bam, traveling the world, making people laugh, living like a rockstar… But when the cameras stopped rolling and the crowds disappeared, I was a different person — sneaking through the night, stealing cars and hustling just to get my next bag of heroin.
