Meet Madison Beer's parents and brother: Inside her family life

Brim met Rob Dyrdek at Rob's cousin's studio. Rob's cousin was establishing a production and publishing company, and Steelo was helping with it. Rob and Brim met at the studio several times, and Rob once suggested that they do a show together.

Rob called Steelo a few months later, inviting him to be his co-host on Ridiculousness, which he agreed to, and they have been hosting the show together since then. Talking about the experience, he said:

The craziest part is that I came out to LA to do music. I was working in A&R with some artists at the time and I was in the studio locked in and I was actually helping Rob Dyrdek's cousin put together a publishing and production company. Rob just so happened to come to the studio twice and said 'hey man, you're funny. We should do a show together.' I didn't have his number or any connection with him other than meeting his cousin.

The comedy series premiered on 29 August 2011, and it has continued to capture the attention of many fans worldwide. Brim also works as the show's creative producer.
