as someone who has fatty liver disease, the WC Fields face is I'm guessing rare or genetic or comes from alcoholism. Cause i don't have the face, no one else in my family does either. Also was that an opie and anthony reference?

I am pretty sure this is the case. Whatever stipend Bam does get likely isnt enough so he does the side hustles to spend in bars and whatever other vanity projects he has going on.
Yeah, there were a ton of good parties there. Lots of people had his gate code and people would constantly just show up. Occasionally I would see Bam & Ryan Dunn out in bars around West Chester. One night outside The Note (for anyone that doesn't know Bam owned a bar/venue in West Chester for a few years), I happened to pass Ryan getting out of the car he died in and had a short conversation. Shame out of the two, Ryan had to be the one to get in a drunken wreck.

I see this ending up somewhere between a farce because everyone knows he isn't sober to an outright disaster with him showing up all kinds of fucked. Celebrity sobriety stuff is a scam in and of itself.
This reminds me of a year or two ago when Johnny Manziel was making the rounds on some different sports related podcasts. He was an award winning college football player who was drafted to the NFL in the first round as a quarterback. He pissed away a decade of hard work and a career worth millions, possibly tens to hundreds of millions, over drugs and alcohol.
The interview went a little different than you'd expect where he wasn't really contrite about how he acted or extolled the virtues of sobriety. His outlook boiled down to he is who he is, not going to shy away from his past, yadda yadda. At the end of the interview he said the hosts should join them at the bar in Texas he just opened up with his friends the next time they were down.
The hosts were a bit miffed as the interview was mostly about how hard the NFL was, how the party lifestyle sank his career, and how immature he was. Johnny hadn't actually addressed his sobriety directly. They discussed afterwards how it didn't seem like a great idea to run a bar as a guy like Johnny who had to battle his demons to get his life back on track.
Well, it turns out Johnny hadn't gotten things together. A quick search by them found that he'd been a lot more candid on some other podcasts with less reach. He was still drinking and partying and seems to have just skirted around that because of the platform. That was who he unapologetically was.
Johnny just wanted some attention and to promote his new bar and was fine letting people think he'd turned his life around.

The parallels between Bam and Manziel are something I hadn’t considered before. Manziel was the shit - and when he got drafted to the Browns, he felt insulted. The Browns were beneath him. College ball is a lot different than the NFL, and between being a petulant man child who thought he deserved more and partying every day, he fucked everything up for himself. He sucked huge dick and mired himself up in constant controversy. All he had to do was slow down and ride the wave and he’d probably still be somewhat relevant today. He’s my biggest “what could’ve been” in the NFL.
Bam is driven by materialistic greed and association. If only he had the capacity to tone it down a bit, he’d probably be in decent shape, have his cars, tv shows and a steady influx of money, and attention.

He could be getting a monthly allowance of his own money and be doing "side hustles" because he spends whatever he gets in a few days and needs to do clown shows to get his booze money for the 25 days until the next deposit.

W C Fields had rhinophyma, which causes a bright, red, bulbous nose. He was also notoriously a heavy drinking throughout his life so many people thought it was due his alcoholism, but wasn't the cause.
It certainly didn't help. It's akin to how Ethan Ralph looks like he had a blow torch to his face when he is doing a drunken pill stream. He gets so red because of his skin condition gets exasperated by the combination of being drunk and living in filth.
Referencing W C Fields for a heavy drinker is far older than OnA. Dean Martin used to be mocked as the next great W C Fields because of his heavy drinking.

Even if Phil is good with investments, the Bamster hasn’t had any steady income coming in for a decade. Getting a single digit percentage of his net worth per year withdrawn to maintain like 4-5% is still maybe $50-100k a year, which isn’t much considering his nomadic lifestyle, boozing, and popping pills. So it’s not surprising to me that he needs some side hustles for extra booze money.

He looks like a cut character from the Mad Max franchise.

I think it comes to a point where they have so many tats that you cannot figure out even what an individual one is. They all look ugly, stretched and faded.

Rank. He's just your common drunkard/methhead who used to be famous in high school but was unable to grow up and move on, found in every Bumfuck, Nowhere. Soooo many people tried 100% sincerely to help him but Bam was a lost case all along.

Dean Martin was pretty much sober (for a Las Vegas showman in the 60s) and had a amazing career going down in history as one of the great ones.
He played up his drunkness for the audience but that was all. He had a good life

I just don't get why he can't bend his fingers all the way when doing the "devils horn" gesture. He looks like an absolute retard, as if he's going to start beating his chest with a semi furled hand.
Just.... Why? Why can't he make the gesture properly? And why "ya mon" all the time? It's confusing.

I’ve got some bad scar tissue in my right hand (from skating as a kid, no less) that makes it difficult for me to fully bend my ring finger. Nerve endings cause it to spaz a little if I tuck it in with my thumb. It looks absolutely retarded. Thankfully I can gesture with my left. He’s taken some gnarly spills and injuries over his lifetime. Coupled with the drug abuse and alcoholism, wouldn’t be surprised if there’s something going on there.

Yeah it wasn't the drinking that killed him, but the smoking. He was so convincing with his act of playing a drunk that a lot of people, to this day, legitimately thought he was constantly plastered.
It just isn't possible for anyone to perform at the level that he did while drunk. The roasts from that era are hilarious.
