message: Dudes, just because Vito once said it doesn't make it encyclopedic, gotta be careful with the quotes section... would be great if the article got expanded e.g. if anyone knew anything about vito's life before Bam went big?? --Deiz 02:16, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Hey JD, not to tread on your toes but I rephrased the stuff about the house and put being an accountant back in, just feels like any info is good right now if this article is going to get bigger. However cant find any proof about the accountant thing so that might have to go after all.. If it really bugs you then take it out again. Deiz 02:08, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I reverted an edit about Vito's picture being up in a restaurant in Philadelphia, it wasn't clear a) what Vito had to do with the picture being there, or b) what makes the restaurant otherwise notable. Most of the stuff on this page is seriously borderline encyclopedic as it is. Deizio 21:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Bam Margera said this during a live recording of Bam Radio on Sirius Radio:
"Sorry people, I'm too pissed off to do a show today. Let me just say this: Fuck America and all you fuckers livin' in it. Because I'm sick of people trying to get money off of slipping on a grape in the grocery store and fuckin'...walking on a weak school roof and then breaking their leg when they're trying to break in, and then they get all kinds of fucking money. I think the lawyers, and the people, are all fucked up. And let me just sum up some shit about I'm not allowed to talk about because of the lawyers: Well, guess what, lady? Vito doesn't have any fuckin' money! He has a red Ford Ranger, and that's it! And the $75'000 that MTV gave him, he's spending on a fuckin' lawyer to defend himself! And the fact that he's so unhealthy, he's probably gonna die this year. I think it's fucked he has to spend the last few days of his miserable life flying back and forth to Colorado to defend himself about some piece of fucking bullshit fucking case that you know you're---trying to get money, that's it. That's the only thing. (exhales) Tom, just play me some old H.I.M., not that new radio-friendly fuckin' shit. I'm packing my shit and moving to Kazakastan to get away from this fucked-up ass country, dude. Fuck!"

replies: text: I think it's fair use to link to an audio clip as a reference for Bam's comment on his Uncle's situation. --J2thawiki 08:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

text: As it's not hosted on WP there's no fair use issue. The issue is whether the site hosting the clip has permission to do so. Deiz talk 08:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Bam Margera comments on Don Vito scandal

message: I was just watching the Fresh Prince of Bel Air on Nick at Nite, and in the episode "Who's The Boss?", I could have sworn that I saw Don Vito in the scene where there are "freaks" in the Peacock store... he was the man sitting in the chair and it looked like he was crying.  I can't find anything  that pertains to both Don Vito and Fresh Prince at the same time, so I have no way to back this up.  Has anyone else seen this one?
::I saw that episode and had to do a double take when saw him. But he wasn't in the end credits and I doubt it was him. Jayorz 08:07, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Watched the portion of the episode just to check and no its not him, but I must add it does look very close and I can see why people would assume it is.  -User:unorthodoxJ (Talk)
"Fatty McGee" is a show that never existed.
According to Bam, Vito will soon go back to Colorado and appeal his parole so he can start to act again with Bam.  Woohoo!

thread_title: Real name

message: His real name is in fact *Charley* Weiss, a comedian from Reno in the 80s, who did bit acting in various sitcoms a couple of Different Strokes episodes and the muppets.  He was also on Kojak and Columbo in a recurring role of a bungling cat burglar and diamond thief named Steve.  He eventually got his big break with the kids as Don Vito a character in his act he use to do in Reno called Don Reno.  But as Don Vito he referenced Columbo as his favorite show, an inside joke, NICE  About 2 years ago He dropped  out of the limelight basically for health reasons, his life is a lot different now, got heart bypass surgery, moved back to Nevada quit smoking, lost like 80 friggin pounds,  Bam and Joe Franz cant talk about him because of a restraining order Weiss got out as he prefers a more private life nowadays, away from all of the hoorah, currently  works in real estate with fellow CKY-Viva alumnus "Chris Raab"
