TIL That sleeping under a weighted blanket can help reduce insomnia and anxiety

I just want to say congratulations to both of you on your sobriety and to Bam for the baby on the way, those are huge milestones and things to be very proud of.

The question: You two are obviously extremely close friends and have been for a long time. I’ve read Dreamseller and recall seeing how hard addiction is on relationships, and specifically your guys’ with each other. How much do you guys stay in contact these days and how big of an impact/role model are each of you to each other in terms of pushing you along in your journey towards continued sobriety?

In other words, do you guys find yourselves working towards these goals together and pushing each other along in the same ways you did with skateboarding and one-upping each other’s tricks as kids?

Also, to Novak, after seeing Bam on his Epicly Later’d episode and the troubles he’s had getting acquainted with skateboarding again after such a long time off the board, you seem like you’ve been able to recover nicely judging by your recent Instagram videos of you shredding!

Good luck and congratulations again to both of you on your journey, I’m happy you are both alive and well. You’ve both been people I’ve really looked up to as grew I up between watching CKY, Viva La Bam, and skating as a kid. Hope to see some more skate parts from you both soon!
