We are going to make sure it's not you, it's just... Ummmm... A little more time. On this episode of the commercial break... The... The final thought... Mike's parting comment was that... Everybody's got Steve O'Rong...

That Steve O'Rong's that Steve O'R is actually very intelligent. Wow, yeah, cool. That's the guy you're wrong, you're a smart guy. Wow, really. The next episode of the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the director of Stuntperson Services. Tina, Tina Best of You.

Best of you, Brian. Best of you out there in the podcast universe. So fucking excited because Steve O is going to be joining us shortly. Can't even wait. If I had told you 15 or 20 or maybe even more years ago than that, that Steve, that you and I would be sitting in a room somewhere, talking to Steve O. directly, would you have believed me? I would have asked you how many drugs you were on.

You would have asked me if this is another flight of fancy, due to LSD. No way, no way I would have believed it, but here we are. I joined a whole band based on one long night of drug use, and you dropping me off the next day. That's right. I'm never to be seen again. Ryan went into the void.

The chopper Johnson void. I'll never forget it. Oh, I will never forget it either. Uh, Steve O'Comingan reminds me, I hadn't told this story when we were talking about Steve O last week when Chrissy was in here. But there was a guy that I knew at when I worked at McDonald's, and this is before knowing you, but I worked at McDonald's when I was like 15 years old for two or three years. There was one of the cooks back there. He had no teeth.

I mean, seriously, no teeth. He had like one jagged tooth coming out, but he was the nicest guy. I'll never forget his name, Screg. Greg the Grill Guy. And he could make you a burger with no onions, lickety split. If you were in his favor, you were getting your food out rather quickly.

And back then McDonald's employees actually gave it shit whether or not someone was standing. Remember the days. Remember the days. And listen, I understand fast food work for no pay and dealing with shitty customers is terrible in 2023. But anyway, this guy, he before Steve O and Jackass came along, he had this idea that he would do these crazy stunts on video tape. So he, at night, they would sometimes close down, and I imagine that they were high and or drunk, because just the first person I ever bought weed from.

But anyway, I would imagine he was high or drunk, but him and this other manager, they would take this big clunky VHS recorder, you know, video recording, the thing. Oh, I remember. The kind that you put on your shoulder and it was just like 30 pounds. He even around? Yeah, and people thought you had a spaceship on your shoulder. It was crazy.

So they would take this and they would make these small movies inside of the McDonald's late at night, like at midnight, one o'clock in the morning. And one time I got invited to be a part of this movie that they were making. It was supposed to be like an action movie at the McDonald's and I had to jump over the counter and fall on some cardboard and all this other shit. Well, when I wasn't there, the guy did a, they did a movie, the manager and the grill guy, did a movie together where he was supposed to jump off the McDonald's roof into a bunch of boxes, empty boxes.

This was supposed to break his fall, but it did not break his fall. It broke his legs is what it did. Oh, no. And he ended up getting a broken ankle and a broken femur and was out for like, I don't know, two months or something like that. And the poor guy didn't have a pontipist and no teeth.

No legs. No grill. This is like a disaster for you. Probably no drugs or either really good drugs, one of the two. or something like that. And the poor guy didn't have a pontipissant. No teeth, no legs, no grill, probably no drugs or either really good drugs. One of the two, but for two months, we didn't see the guy. And only after he came back, did we get a chance to watch the videotape, which was gruesome. It was gruesome. He's straight through the box. And then the guy, the guy, the manager runs up with the video camera and they're you okay? Are you okay? And you can see him there. He's like, ah, I think you should call it ambulance.

And when now I'm thinking Steve's coming in today, I'm not going to tell him the story because it's Tom and Steve's done things that are 10 times as crazy. But I just remember that pre-Jackass, these guys had this idea that they were going to do these crazy stunts all by themselves, videotape. Our generation was totally into it. I mean, Tom Green, you think about it. It was like, it was a, yeah. Oh, Tom Green.

Yeah, it was a huge cultural movement when people were like, let's do dumb stuff. Let's do it. Now that we can record it. Yeah. And watch it back. Let's do more dumb stuff. That's it, like the viral skate videos. You don't like it.

What was viral back then? A box of VHS tapes. That's it. And if your VCR didn't work, God forbid you didn't have a good working rewind button. That's right. Or God forbid you didn't know how to press record on your favorite episode of whatever.

Or God forbid someone recorded over your favorite episode of whatever, but you're right about this. Like MTV, when MTV wasn't always as shitty as it is today. That's right. That was the time when I think they really had their finger on the pulse of what was going on back in the 90s and the 2000s. And they Tom Green, some of the weirdest wildest shows, Beavis and Butthead, Tom Green. Throw a skateboard at it. And we're in. And we're in. We're done. Yeah. We'll watch some skateboard and dinosaur junior. Yeah, do something stupid. Yeah. Why not us do the radio? We're gonna be, we're gonna yum it up.

Stupid. Yeah, why not us do the radio? We're gonna be we're gonna yum it up You don't like that is our junior do you? I mean, I don't know that I'd pay to see a show today But I there was a time where I could get through a few songs. I think I want album was good. What were you been? Yeah, was it the one with the painting the guys? Then the totes who else there was a string of those whiny. Yeah, they were all well It was like grunge and then the other. No, you want a die. Do you want a die? Yes, that's it.

Yeah, I recently saw them do that. Like I watched on YouTube, they do that at a small club. They're two wearing actually toe-dissar. No. Yes, they are. And I watch them on YouTube. And I can say that their glory days

are probably behind them. Probably. But, you know, if you get the, we're still here. So yeah, that's it. Get the crowd of 50 somethings to sing. Do you want to die? Then you don't have to sing those rough parts. Just sell them a $20 t-shirt. Let them into the concert for free. Call it a day. $20 t-shirt. If you're a TOTE's fan, you're paying $100 for a t-shirt. They got to get from $4.8 to $4.

Listeners, do we have a TOTE's fan? Oh I know that there's a couple TOTE's fans out there. Listen I didn't mind that one album but I wasn't gonna go. That one, I didn't get the second one. No way. But I do have a number of Dinosaur Jr albums because I do like that. I'm not a festival I'd see them. That's what they're doing right now.

It's a lot of fun. They were at Mimpo with Chrissy. Yes. And they are. But not that last year. This year, this last year. Yeah, I didn't go this year either. No, that one once was fine.

That was enough. I loved Mimfo. We're not shopping widespread. No, I loved Mimfo, but next time I go, I'm gonna go purely as a spectator. Now this someone standing at a tent, no portapoddies, no yeasty beers, smell all weekend long. That was fun.

We got a good time. And we got great interviews out of it. The only problem is the entire, like all you can hear is, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and people throwing up behind the portapates. Oh, it was bad. It was bad. We were, we were like an extra portapot.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey guys, hey everybody. Hey, wanna come over here? What is this? What is this? Oh, it's a podcast. You're doing a podcast? Yeah, well, we're not doing a podcast because neither of us can be at the tent at the same time.

That's right. But what we are doing is giving you a sticker and an opportunity to talk drunkly into a microphone and I'll never use the audio until someday when I can clean up the background of it. But I will give you an update on some day when I can clean up the background of it. But I will give you an update on this while we're talking about live music.

I did catch a video because I was talking, I've been talking to Chrissy about the big Creed reunion tour. That's going on. And Scott Stack, who I met one time at an airport, he kindly moved his guitar so my child could sit down and eat. So I ate an entire McDonald's meal

before taking an international flight, sitting across from Scott's style. Solid play. Unbelievable, unbelievable. And I didn't, because I wouldn't, Gush and Gush over Scott's staff. But because I've been talking about him and YouTube listens to everything I do,

up appeared Scott's staff live in somewhere New Jersey on the 23rd singing Creed songs with his own band. They haven't actually done the reunion yet. Are you allowed to do that? Yeah, sure he wrote the song. Yeah, he wrote the song. I think that's like an agreement you make about publishing rights and all that other bullshit.

I wouldn't know. Because I think that even if Scott sings it live and it makes money on YouTube or whatever, then the band, if they have publishing rights, might get a cut too. I don't know how that shit works. And I can't imagine the Creed Slows are publishing rights. I mean, Scott went through a pretty bad time.

He probably sold it. He just wanted to go. Yeah, just let it go. But I will admit this while I don't like their music. Scott stabs voice sounds really good. He either, he has been in with, or I want to say oral coach, but it's probably called a vocal coach. I will go with vocal orals, that other thing we talked about the other day.

That's that felt like your Oral coach, you can be found at Fraulacon. But even though I don't like them, I'll give them props where the props are due. He sounded good. He sounded good. He sounded just like he did on the album, that we heard way too many songs of, but people who like Creed, and they're going to see Creed, I think they're gonna get a good version of Creed because it's not... That's refreshing. Vince Neal trying desperately to sing his own songs

while out of breath eating a donut and forgetting the word. Yes, because that is really disappointing when you're excited and you finally get to go see that band. Yes. And then it's... It's terribly disappointing. It's like letting the balloon go. I know.

For you to the not in it. And the crazy thing is that Motley crew was like the number one revenue generating tour of 2022. Wow. I cannot believe I cannot wrap my head around. Why after so much publicity about the bad singing, bad vocals, backing tracks, Tommy Lee's not even playing the drums, all this other stuff. Like I can't imagine why you would want to go spend $109 to sit in front of there, sit in front of them, but you know, I guess if you're a diehard man. He did it for G&R. Yeah, that's true.

We did it for Guns of Rose. That wasn't disappointing. No, it wasn't. He looked bloated. He's bloated. He's way bloated. They sounded pretty damn good. They sounded pretty damn good.

Now he's got a different register than he did before. And we drank enough. Probably helped. I was so fucking sloshed during that show. I was so fucking slosh. I left like two songs before it ended because I was like, I'm not going to get this out. I sit till the bitter end.

I even wore the side ponytail. Remember, I got all dressed up. You were looking good. I rock my 80s. I rock my 80s. My 80s best. You know who's a big fan of Motley Crew? Steve A. We should have brought that up.

We should bring that up. Yeah. And you know Steve O. would call around hotels and he would try and find, this is a story that I read on the internet, he would try and find where Motley Crew is staying. So he could hopefully hang out with them in the lobby or meet up with them. Brilliant idea. Serenticiously. I also used to do that when bands would come to Atlanta and I like them. I would try and call around and find the hotel. I never once got ahold of anybody except, except for crash test dummies. I didn't

have to find out they were staying at the Hampton Inn or whatever. That's another weird one out of the 90s. So were they, did you hang out with them? No, I didn't even go. No, I just more curious than anything about where they were staying. Why are you guys saying that they hampton? Yeah. Because we're crushed. And like the next year, I saw them at Chastain

and there was maybe 50 people in the audience. Oh. Oh. I didn't even have a name. The song was just called. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I wonder what ever happened to them.

Bear naked ladies and crushed Esteve. These are two bands out of the Canada that came down here and now destroyed. I went on tour with Bear Naked Ladies once. And by tour, I mean, we met them here in Atlanta because I happened to be at the show with two really attractive girls caught the eye of some rhodes. Those rhodes then got us backstage.

We then actually hung out with the bear naked ladies. And then they invited us. How do I think you were involved in this somehow way shape or form? Wasn't that 96 rocks big day out like mid 90s? We ended up on stage with Squirrel Nuts zippers. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's right.

Squirrel Nuts zippers. Remember them? Yes. We've alienated anyone over the age. Sorry guys. Under the age of 30, it's just golf now. They're like, I think you guys are talking to Steve O. We are going to talk to Steve O. We're getting prepped.

This is the time when Steve O was like coming on the scene. It's true. And we were so excited about this new show, Jackass, which I can only watch half the stunts one time. Right. And then I didn't want to watch it again, but you couldn't turn away. I think if you were alive, when Jackass, the series was on and playing on MTV, you had to look.

It was a train wreck. You had to see because everybody's going to be talking. Well, and here's a thing we didn't have YouTube back then. You couldn't just go watch other idiots doing this. This was our only idiot stunt TV show, like available. The idiot box. That was it. Yeah, with the television show that our parents

would have been. Ban. Ban from the house. Ban from the house. But since my dad was, what did he call you? He called blissfully unaware of what was going on in the house. I watched it every time that it came on. And because we could not press rewind and see it again.

No, weren't we quite really unless you had the VCR? That's right, unless you had the VCR. And it worked. And it worked. You know my son, my son, one of my kids, he says, when we, Asher and I got married, they sent us the video, DVD. They didn't even send it to us electronically. They sent it DVD.

Wow. And then they sent some clips electronically. The clips were beautiful. They put music to it. It was wonderfully. But then Astro and I looked each other, we're like, when are we ever going to watch this? We only have a DVD player.

Right. So I go to Walmart. I buy the $19 DVD player. It's $6.99. I like that. I plug it in. And what I get is a seven minute truncated version of the wedding. That's all. That's all that's on there.

No way. However, the toasts that were made, like the special structures, the stuff that the toasts that were made. No, quite frankly, the stuff that I didn't want. Come on. Yeah, they gave good toast. They did. But it just made me realize, wow, we probably should never watch this again. What's the fucking point? Use it as a coaster. Yeah, my son's using it as a frisbee currently right now. He got uninterested as quickly as he got interested. He was like, what's this? Why are you guys there? Where am I? Who's doing that? Why were you so fat? Son, it was

a different time. It's back when I could eat a meal without getting horrible indigestion. Now I just don't think that's right. So we got Steve O coming up. We're very grateful that he's decided to spend some time with us. Let me give you the pertinent details before we get him on here. He's got a brand new special called Bucket List.

It's available on his website. We're gonna put a link to it in the show notes, Steve's wild Steve's wild ride is a podcast and a podcast. It's on YouTube. Quite frankly, I think you should watch the YouTube version because the visuals are fantastic. He's in a van traveling to see the celebrities and they literally walk in the van,

sit down on a couch, pet his dog, and have a great conversation. Bill Burr is a great episode of that. Cory Feldman, I'm obsessed with that episode. I don't don't ask me why, I'm just obsessed with it. It's a brilliant concept, it really is. He did it. Yeah, he does a good job on it.

And so you can find that, the audio version, but you can also find that on the video version on YouTube. And yeah, that's what Steve O's doing right now. I think he's going to go back on tour with this bucket list. The bucket list special is all the stunts that he could not perform on jackass because the producers would not allow it. So viewer beware. Viewer beware. And since he's given me express permission to tell you what's in the video,

there are stunts guys that I think Steve's going to die. Like it's clear. There is no, it's clear that things are going wrong, but somehow Steve pulls them off. It's on brand for sure. Bucket list. We watch the special. It's fantastic. So if you can get ahold of it, do let's take a short break and then we'll get Steve O in here. What do you think? Can't wait. Okay. We'll be right back with Steve O. You know who he is. Even if you're under the age of 30, you clearly have heard of Steve O. You clearly have. Clearly have heard of Steve O.

She's gorgeous and I know she's on wild rides sometimes too. I think that kind of disarms your guests a little bit. I think it's a pet the dog and hang out there for a minute.

Yeah, you know, I disarmed my guests a lot I think. And that has to do with me bringing the studio to them. Yeah. With the van. I think people just come out of like their home. And then all of a sudden they're on camera. And they don't, they don't, it's pretty awesome. They kind of get, it's like interrupted

from the normal flow of activity that they walk into some publicist room with a camera and snapshots and all that. You, I think you give them kind of a homey feel. I was just sharing with Steve that I watched the Bill Burr episode of Wild Ride, which is fantastic. You have to check it out. His podcast and his podcast, but I was watching the Bill Burr episode in instantaneously. Bill's like, he's so relaxed.

He's like, let me pet your dog for a few minutes and we'll shoot the shit. I love it. Why the, what was was who told you you should go do a podcast and you decided to put it into a fan and ride around. Well, being that I tour and doing live comedy. And really is kind of an important piece of the puzzle to do a podcast. I recognized that, but I just hated the idea of asking that annoying question of my famous friends.

Like, we would be on my podcast, I just, you know, it was so difficult for me to come around to that, that the only way I could is if I made it convenient by bringing, you know, it's a lot easier to ask somebody to be on your podcast if you say, I'll bring the studio to you whenever and wherever. Exactly.

Being in. You can roll up to their front door, basically. Do you, let me ask you a question, because I've been dying to ask this since I heard you were coming on the show. You lived in Venezuela when you were a kid. Is that correct? It is. I don't remember it. I moved there when I was two years old, I believe, and lived there. I think for less than two years old, I believe, and lived there, I think, for less than two years. I left when I was four, I believe. So, I don't remember any of it, but I did definitely speak fluent Spanish in nursery

school. Have you kept that up? Have you kept the Spanish up? Oh, my gosh. I lost Spanish and Portuguese. My first words were in Portuguese. Here is why I ask that question and why it's so candy to me or uncanny to me.

My wife is Venezuelan, like, born in Venezuela and I chased her around the world and I started to come to the United States with me. Now we have children and so they're learning all about, you know, they're learning Spanish, there's a bilingual household. And I thought that was so fascinating. How did you end up in Venezuela?

I'm assuming because your family, your dad took a job there. Wasn't he like an executive for PepsiCo or something? He was. I was born in England. My dad was working for Proctor and Gamble, and when I was six months old, the family moved to Brazil because dad became the president of Pepsi Cola, Brazil.

And I was raised by live in May. That's why I spoke my first words in Portuguese. And then that got a promotion to like a larger territory of South and Central America. And that's why we would win Venezuela. It's such a beautiful country. I want to go visit, but you know, there's obviously there are some things to be considered now. I think it was a different country. Even I were around the same age. There's a different country, but then it is now, so it's not, you know, it's a little unsafe to travel to Venezuela as a gringo, but I can't wait to go because I just, I've heard it's beautiful.

I've seen so many pictures and the people there are lovely. So lovely, I married one, Steve. So, and congratulations on your engagement, too, on who you got to engage about a year ago, is that right? It's been more than that. We've been on a real marathon engagement. Oh, have you? Yeah, which is good. It's okay. Long engagements are okay. I think they're totally fine. Like, do it when you're ready.

Well, I mean, I'm happy to be so sure that I'm with the right woman for me. And the longer we spend engaged, the more sure I am. Good man. Good man. Steve, how did you get the name Steve O? You have to tell this story about your brief but probably wonderful time at the University of Miami. Yeah, there wasn't much to it. I was always drunk. My friends tended to be always drunk. Keg parties were events where I would make a point

of acting out in some ridiculous way. And while I was acting out, that inspired my drunk and friends to scream. And it was just born of drunk people screaming. Steve-o! You know? And that was really as simple as it was, the origin of Steve-o.

So I guess he's saying, what's the ocean for? And the genuine answer is nothing. It doesn't stand for anything, is people going, oh shit, look at that, what the God just did. Can I ask you, like let me get inside your head a little bit. When you, when do you start, like just recognizing that you have this really strange

like ability to turn off fear and do things that other people clearly have no and you know would in the right mind do like what prompts that kind of energy to come out when do you start recognizing that this is something that people are paying attention to and I should kind of sad story from Venezuela. I was, I think it was my first day of nursery school. I'm actually reasonably sure that it was my very first day of nursery school. My mother was Canadian, and she went to pick me up from my first day of nursery school in Venezuela. The women working at the nursery school, they said, you know, Esteban, you know, Steve is Tremendo.

Tremendo, he's a great kid. He's lovely. No, no, no, that my mom thought that what they were saying that I was Tremendo. Tremendo's. Great compliment. But as my mom related this to her Spanish-speaking friends, they said, oh, no, no, no, no.

Tremendo doesn't mean tremendous, you're wonderful. Tremendo means like, like really terrible. That's the Spanish trend, like, it's like, you know, he was always kind of a funny anecdote in the family, but then years later, when I was watching the Blackfish documentary, the Orcas at SeaWorld, they had this lady, years later when I was watching the the blackfish documentary. Yeah. The Orcas at SeaWorld.

Yeah. They had this lady, I believe, uh, Kiki let her out. Yeah. They had this lady who was describing, uh, having witnessed the, the mangold body of her son who had been torn apart by an orca She described the same remember this She said it that seeing her son all torn apart by killer whale was Tremendo Not exactly something you want to be lined up with

Now I don't know I have no idea what the behavior was which uh... inspired the label of tremendous when i was uh... two years old but there was something going on there and uh... and that he's just kind of always felt it like it was always a part of you like hey i i just have this energy and i want to get it out in these ways.

Yeah, I would say so. There was just always something. I was six years old and jumped off of a full-size refrigerator and landed on a nail and hold me shit. Yeah, like I was like somewhere in my leg. Full-size refrigerator and landed on a nail and holy shit Yeah, like I was like in the somewhere my leg. I feel like it was on my shin or something and I had to get stitches So like so there is like some stuntyness going on Apparently my first attempt at walking like I somehow knocked out teeth But you would imagine that you walk before you have teeth, but I don't know like

That's not that's not true children have teeth long before they walk or at least in my experience They do so I think when you walking, you do have front teeth at least. Then that checks out. I went on a lower board, my first try at walking and knocked that my front teeth. Do you have regular pain sensors? It's just doesn't register, does it? It's not that it doesn't register because if I didn't register pain, it wouldn't be as entertaining. It wouldn't have the fear. There wouldn't be the trepidation to build the suspense or the reaction to the air. The simple fact with me is that my desire for attention outweighs my desire for comfort. Do you, attention, once you start getting that attention, it's kind of a takes it, right? It's like, what, now that I have something that people are giving me attention for, and

I find that I'm good at it, and I just go for it now. And does that manifest itself through high school and college, and that's where people are like, Steve, oh, shit. I wish that that was the case, but it wasn't really working for me when I was young. Yeah. You know, like I really, like I remember, I remember, I was third grade, like eight years old.

We were living in Miami, Florida. And I gathered the kids around in the cafeteria to watch me unscrew a salt shaker and just consume mass quantities of salt from it. And nobody thought that everybody thought it was kind of creepy and you know, nobody really enjoyed that. He became misunderstood because they were like, oh my God, what is that kid doing? And so maybe the attention at that age is a little bit different obviously than it is

when you're starring in Jackass 4. Yeah, I mean, it was non-imnessarily really good. I remembered that when I was 10 years old in fifth grade And when I was like one of or perhaps even my last baby teeth was Just I did me but not really loose yet. I knew that if I ripped it out like too soon it would there would be a lot of blood. Yeah, and

You know, I went into class and told this girl I was sitting next to that I could leave whenever I wanted. I didn't have to be in class that day. And you know, she looked at me like I was a weird creep. And then when the class started, I ripped out the teeth super violently and there was all this blood. And I raised my hand to the teeth, hearing the the team, said go to the nurse, go to the nurse. And I got up and sent to the girl, like, they told you so. And I like, that girl just, I was, we had this.

Yeah, everybody just thought it was a great. We had this guy on a good. Well, I mean, dude, I handled that poorly right there. I was just going to say that there was a particularly, like it pierced my heart. And it's sad to say that that's the case but I'm gonna guess 2009 maybe 2010. I was setting about putting together my first book which was a memoir called Stevo Professional Idiot.

And my sister being the family historian pulled out like all the files that she had compiled over the years for me to have like, you know, it's kind of resources from my book. And in going through them, I found a report card from sixth grade, which was me when I was 12 years old. And there was a comment from my home-worm teacher, Mrs. Iaquesta, which read, So like some paraphrase, but it seems basically desperate for the approval and praise of his peers. You know, the affection, the approval of the praise, but everything that he does, you know, seeking this approval and praise, brings about the opposite results. You know, it was a story in it. Reading that, I mean, I was reading that as an adult in my 30s.

And it was just like, oh, I did it. Oh, God, yeah. I feel the pain of that, of that real kid. You know, I feel the pain of that little kid who wanted so desperately to be loved and tried so hard to be loved. But the way that I tried so hard just made everybody feel like I was a creep. That really resonates with me. And that works out okay for you. Yeah, I mean that characterizes my childhood. I believe like an element of alcoholism in that.

Like the idea of just constantly feeling uncomfortable in my skin. Yeah. You know, like my alcoholics vary often. Generally, it's generally accepted as a trait of alcoholism, this feeling of always being irritable, restless, and discontent, and that people can sum it up by just saying uncomfortable in my own skin. I agree with you. Oh man, like, it wasn't comfortable, man. I had very uncomfortable childhood. I know you've been to many therapy sessions just like I have.

And my therapist will often say, that's the little boy Brian talking, right? Crying out for attention, crying out for acceptance, crying out for something. And you know what? Every time she says it to me, it fucking rips my heart out. It really does because I know she's speaking the truth. And so to connect with that, like, many, many years later, you read this report card in UC, like this was the little boy Steve looking for attention and the teacher so aptly pointed out,

maybe he's not getting the kind of attention he so, you know, so desperately wants. And, but, you know, that weird energy, right? That energy that you had turned into something that really has become who you are. It's the definition of Steve, at least to the outside world. It's the definition of Steve, oh, and you've become a great success. You are a fucking movie star and quite frankly,

you're a legend. Tina and I, who's sitting here with me, Tina and I, you know, were in the age group that is squarely watched you grow up on TV. And you're just like, there's something about you, Steve, that is so real and authentic, even when you're doing things that are absolute insanity to the rest of us. We're all seeing, they're watching, cringing. There's something so authentic about Steve O. And your journey just as from, you know, watching you from the first season of Jackass to who you are today on Wild Ride. It's, we've like grown up with you. You've grown up, we've grown up, we've all become a little bit more mature. How, when you're doing bucket lists, which is your new special that's out there,

and we'll tell people how to get there, and we'll put a link on the show notes. When you're doing bucket list, and you are taking it to the extreme, you clearly are scared of some of these things. Like the opening shot, I don't wanna give it away, because I want people to watch it But the opening shots

Steve It looks like you're gonna lose your fucking legs. I mean, it's crazy When you're doing that stunt are you like holy shit Steve? What the fuck are you doing? Or are you just in some other zone like you know? This is this is what I do. This is what I want to do Well first off there were a lot of kind words there. Thank you. I mean it, by the way.

I mean it by the way. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I know, saying what's in my bucket list special, because I think that you can tell people, you know, my vision was to be on a roof and have a big helicopter over me, drop a rope ladder, which I grab with my bare hands and get flown off and crashed through electrical wires and stuff like that and let go and land on the roof of a moving tour bus Like you can say that to people and not really ruin it

When you see this special Steve is literally hanging off a fucking helicopter and he drops himself onto a moving RV Where the landing is less than spectacular, but he falls it off. I thought you were going to die, man. I was like, holy shit, there he goes. Let's eat first. Last stunt. Yeah, like it wasn't even planned

when the bus hit me. Yeah. While I was on the ladder like that, it was very, very scary. And yeah, a lot of the man, it was the most expensive stunt that I've ever put together. And it really worked. It worked well. Exactly the way I wanted to work, actually, even the work matter.

And my bucket list special is very much like that. You know, from start to finish, it's ambitious. There's the one where I get a shot up with general anesthesia drugs. This is my next question. This is my next question. Tell this story. How do you convince a fucking doctor?

How do you convince a fucking doctor to put general anesthesia in you? How did you do that? You know, I didn't make this as clear in you know, I said we spoke with a few anesthesiologists. I went on my Instagram story and I put a story out on Instagram saying, hey, I, if you're a general anesthesia specialist or maybe a centipera just a Yeah, please reach out to my guy Scott Randolph and It's really remarkable how 100% of the time that I've ever asked For some random help on social media. Even events I need drugs to be stolen from a hospital in the same sort of writing a bicycle

through a field. Or, you know, I didn't know. It was a non-social media that the epidural stuff took shape. But yeah, it's always worked. It's always worked. You got to see this special. It's fucking fantastic. I want to move back one second.

Steve, do you like the world's best health insurance? Or are people just like, you know, you must see the doctor quite a bit, I would imagine in your long work. And, uh, hot, it's time when's the last time. Go ahead. I'm seeing the doctor more and more,

and it's not even, I really don't think it's because of stunts. I think it's just the fact that, you know, I'm 49 years old. Yeah. I really, like tomorrow I'm going, and tomorrow I'm having surgery on my knee to repair a torn meniscus, and it's not from a stunt. It's just wear and tear. Yeah. If anything, I think it happened while riding a bicycle and not generally

a student bike ride. Not the one who rode the sleet. I got your West from a stunt that I got the collarbone hard wear put in and it was from a stunt that I got the ankle hard wear put in and it was from a stunt that I got the skin grafts all over my body. They grafts all over my body. They have not all over my body, all over my arms and my back. Yeah, I mean, you may not have had all the doctor's visits because of the stunts, but you've probably had quite a few. Is there like when you go to do a jackass, there must be an incredible amount of attention

paid to how we're going to ensure the people that are on this movie and just getting clear and says to do that all those stunts. You know, it was it wasn't until jackass 3d in 2010 that I first asked, hey, what happens if somebody gets like really badly hurt or killed? And the answer was they said, oh, uh, standard workman's comp laws, uh, apply. Standard. There's, uh, I'm sure there's, um, insurance stuff too, but, um, but yeah, like what I broke my collarbone on the set of the fourth jackass movie and uh...

yeah it's like what workman's comp claim that's that's insane that's insane i would have imagined you guys would have been insuring stuff and seven different ways to sunday but maybe i'm sure to yeah of course what is the craziest stunt that you have done uh... a part of you know on your own bucket list jackass any of the series any of the television

shows what is the craziest on that you did that you just would never do again you're i'm just done with it i would never attempt that again there are plenty of things that I wouldn't do again. But I would probably see the one with the burns, the fire angels. That was the big closing stunt, the grand finale of my second comedy special, which was called gnarly. And that one lives just just for free streaming like at stebo.com.

If you want to watch that, it just starts playing right away. Yeah. It's it's crazy. And you got badly hurt on that one burnt like skingos. I'm head laid down in a bed of rocket engines fuel and did snow angels while my buddies lit the fuel. Who comes up with these ideas? You specifically, or is it like you guys, you and your friends or the production team y'all get together and you brainstorm ideas and then you see if they're even feasible and then, what's the process?

I mean, the idea is coming different ways and the process certainly varies, but in that case, the idea was, you know, just to blow up my living room with me. And it was actually inspired by my relationship with my girl. At the time. It was my girlfriend Who's now my fiance and I just felt like I felt Very strongly that that this was a relationship that I was committed to and to look at my house at the time

It was very much the house that I, you know, kind of decorated as a bachelor and it was, you know, my bachelor pad. And I no longer wanted it to feel like my girl was, you know, in my house, I wanted it to feel like it was our house. Our house? Yes, Totally. So my way of making that has said I want to blow up the living room. I want to like really screw up all that's requiring us to paint over everything. And that was, you know, and then I want my girl to, you know, kind of lead the charge and decorate

and decorating it to make it feel like our house. Tina, this shows a level of maturity. This shows a level of maturity. It really does self-awareness and maturity because I know a lot of guys who refuse to change a damn thing. It's my place, it's my house. I'm keeping it the way that I want it. But I knew early on that if you want to invite a woman

to live with you or your girlfriend or whatever it happens to be, if you want to do that, they have to feel like it's their place too, not that just a couple dresses are hanging in extra space in your closet. They have to feel like they're part of the game, right? Yeah, that's true. Because I would want that too. So it's just like a bit of self-aware. Look at you, Steve. You're all grown up, buddy. Yeah, it was pretty rad.

I'm going to blow up the living room. I didn't really do a whole lot of damage to the living room. It was a whole damage to yourself. We made a little bit of a mess. But the damage was primarily to myself. It was just a crazy thing, man. It was, you know, and whenever I've gotten hurt doing stunts, you know, thankfully I've recovered from everything for the most part.

And the more consequential the more hurt I got, it's always just made the stunt more notable. It's been more of a notch in my belt. So there's nothing really to regret about any of that for me. And you know, like once something happens, like it's happened, there's not really a there's not, there's gotta be a compelling reason to go and do something again. Exactly. It's you adding to the art piece, right? I look at your career and you've just done so many things that are notable in my own head and then, you know, talking to people that knew that you were coming on the show,

you got to ask him about this, don't you? You got to ask him about that, don't. And I think everybody feels the same way. It's like, holy shit, look at this guy's career. He's still alive, he's still walking and talking, and he has done all this stuff at his own expense for the enjoyment of the people on the other end. And probably you're getting something out of it too, obviously.

But that relationship between the audience and you, all of it's on celluloid, which is the great thing too. What I see, I go on YouTube, and then I see somebody doing similar things for like, you know, 10 views. Now listen, this could be the beginning of another, the next Steve O, or it could just be so kid, you know, breaking his arm for a couple of views. But you really have made a pretty storied career out of this. Do you, can you walk into an airport or into a mall

or you have a target wherever you go shopping? Can you walk into one of those places and not be recognized? I'm sure during the pandemic it might have been easier because of the mask, but like if you don't have any mask on, and you just walk in, do you get recognized enough that it becomes like, oh shit, I gotta.

I gotta go into Target. The mask never helps. Oh really? You have because as soon as I open my mouth, I may like. Yeah. Like I get recognized over the phone. Oh yeah. I gotta order a pizza. I did not not all the time, but it's not infrequent.

Why do you talk this way? Is this like, it's just a gravely voice? Or I think I, it's one of our intrepid researchers heard that you speak with your muscles and not with your vocal cords or something like that? Yes, that's what I'm told. Has it always been like that? I don't know. I just suck at talking.

You graduated from Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Clown School, but you didn't actually go to work for the circus? Is that right? I didn't work for the Ringling circus. I worked for a circus called the Haniford Family Circus. And I worked as a clown on Royal Caribbean cruise lines. Oh my God, you're kidding me. Nope.

So you're on these world Caribbean cruises, are you testing some of these ideas that you have for doing crazy stunts, or are you just taking it like it's a job, I go out, I do my clown show and then I call it today. I mean, I filmed the crazy stunts on the cruise ships and the line between what I did in my professional role on the cruise ships versus what I was doing as extracurricular in my aspirations in my video camera. That line got a little bit blurry. Certainly got blurry. But, yeah. When you were filming these, is this what eventually became like the tapes that you were trying to get into Big Brother and

and you were or were you just, was this pre or post or? I was already in Big Brother when I got the cruise ship job. There was before going on to the cruise ship that the Big Brother Boob video came out. So yeah, that was all happening, but there were like certain things like the, one of the clowns I worked with while we were in the office typing up our weekly report. One of the clown reports on the record reviews.

You know, the job that we had, it was called interactive performers. And you know, the different things that we did, it was kind of an experimental thing, like we were the first to have this job. So the company wanted a weekly report of what we did. Okay, gotcha. And we were typing up our report and this clown that I worked with just grabbed the stapler off the desk and just whacked himself with it and shurred up he had a staple in his arm and I thought wow that's like the coolest thing I've ever seen and we got paid in cash on the cruise ship like every other week like every two weeks we got paid

and we made like 600 bucks a week so it was more than a thousand bucks wow that we got paid and we made like 600 bucks a week. So it was more than a thousand bucks that we got paid every two weeks in cash. And it was all a hundred dollar bills. Holy shit. The next time we got paid, I with my friends blessing, I was like, man, do you mind if I take this staple thing? And, and I've filmed a bit called the thousand dollar man where I I'd staple ten one hundred dollar bills across my arms and my chest and I called myself the the one thousand dollar man Did you do this in front of people where how was it received on the royal Caribbean crisis? I'm trying to imagine steve I was definitely

was it received on the Royal Caribbean? I'm trying to imagine Steve O. Stay clean. It's true. It's true. So we did it in the same office. Gotcha. When we checked up the report. Yeah.

When you I've had friends who entertained on cruise ship like they were you know, one guy was a did a piano and the other girl did a guitar, whatever. Who was a like living on a cruise ship. How long did you do that job for? I last did for six months. I had a six month contract and the other

Clowns in my dudes that we were a troop of four clowns on this one ship and All three of the other clowns went to the cruise ship brass and said if Steve Oh comes back for another contract We all quit Probably some of the guests There's a clown mutiny They all they said if Steve Oh comes back we all quit Steve comes back, we all quit. I know, holy crap.

It's, yeah, so it's in my boss clown. When I saw my boss clown who wasn't part of my trip, he was like, man, these fucking clowns went behind your back. And they made it so you're not coming back for another contract. They were like, it's not in the cards. You're not coming back, definitely not. And they don't have the balls to tell you that. And I don't want them to do you like that's just it's not in the cards or not coming back definitely not and they don't have the balls to tell you that. I've been I don't want them to do you

like that. He said I'm telling you this job is going away. You do not have this job at the end of your contract. So I'm telling you to call up your skateboard buddies and try and drum up another gig. And he said if if I let it be known that he told me that he would lose his job. So I had to keep it a secret, and I had to work with these fucking clowns for another life. There was like another two months. There was another two months, and we were training for the launch, the maiden voyage of the world's largest cruise ship.

There were all these routines, these scripts, and stuff that I had to learn with these other clowns, knowing that I would never perform them. And that the other clowns had stabbed you in the back. And they couldn't know that I knew. Yeah, because it was all hush-hush. Yeah, and I pulled it off. I pulled it off and I reached out to Big Brother and I was like, yo, I got this idea. I'm going to, because I'd been walking on stilts on the cruise ships and always terrified. That sounds terribly dangerous.

It's like you fall off the edge. Yeah, we were never like, it wasn't even about falling off the edge of the ship, but it was just falling in general. Yeah, because the ship's moving. Yeah. So because I was, you know, like I was kind of the front front of my mind. And I thought, man, I got to do it.

So I'm going to tip myself over on stills. And I was like, but I got to make a big rad. So I caught up Jim Chameen. I was like, I'm going to have a still costume, which will be lit on fire. While my still costumes on fire, I'm going to have a unicyclist ride a unicycle through my stilts while a skateboarder jumps off the roof of my house over my head and and through a fireball that I'm blowing out of my mouth so the photo will be the skateboarder going through the fireball that I'm blowing out of my

mouth while the unicycles ride through the mudfire. And then when those two guys ride away, then I'm going to crack open a beer and pound it while I tip myself over. And then when I hit the ground, I need to be extinguished. And I wanted that to be the cover of Big Brother magazine. Wow. It's made like the idea.

And I walked off the cruise ship with $9,000 in cash, which was not clever of me to have been stashing all that cash in my cabin, especially not with those fucking backstabbing clouds. Yeah. Maybe I put some of it in the bank, I don't know. But there was a bunch of cash that I had. And I flew myself back and forth to California to do big stunts to try to get noticed.

And when I got out to California with the fire stun, that's when I met Knoxville, Tremaine waited until I was out there, and he was like, hey dude, like now that you're out here, I can tell you, this isn't just for the magazine, we're doing this for a pilot.

Geez. And yeah, I did that fire stunt for the pilot. It didn't make the cover, but the photo was the table of contents, the whole page. Yeah, I was just like, I was just like, yeah, we got a cool photo out of that. And then, was the table of contents, the whole page. Yeah. I was pretty happy.

Yeah, we got a cool photo out of that. And then, yeah, kind of the rest is history. And had those clowns. And you know what? I do owe it to those clowns. For me, I can't provide history. Yeah, the truth is, I gave those clowns every reason to, I was very disrespectful of those clowns.

I did not think they were fucking rad. I didn't think they had any, like, skills that I admired. They didn't, I didn't think that they're stupid shit that they were trying to come up with was funny or rad. I just didn't think anything that they did was awesome at all. And as such, I had no respect for them and I behaved very much with disdain. I mean not disdain. It's like I didn't have time for them. I was like, whenever you guys want to do it, I would just have my headphones on, practicing my juggling, and just, you know, like I ignored them and I was disrespectful. And so like,

they had every reason to do what they did. And thank God they did what they did because if I kept that job for another contract, there are. You wouldn't have been Jackass. Yeah, there goes the Jackass pilot, there goes the whole thing. So Steve named one of those clowns who made a billion dollars at the box office. That's right.

I think everything turned out okay. I don't think Jackass made any billion dollars. No, I'm talking about all of it together. You guys, I guys, I'm, I'm, you think you've made a billion dollars on all four movies? No. No. Well, that's a damn shame. You should be, you should have made a failure dollars. I think, uh, I think we probably cracked a half a billion, but all, all four movies put together, definitely not a billion. Honestly, anything over $10,000 sounds rich to me. That's right. Oh, good.

You have to, if you can, please, touch on one thing. True or not true, you did blow with Mike Tyson. Oh, yeah. You got a bunch of it for hours. Were you not at all intimidated? Do you know him? You guys had a previous relationship and then you hung out one night and somebody had some blow or? I'm pretty sure it was the first time we ever met and I had a

bunch of cocaine and we locked ourselves in a bathroom for probably three hours and so we had consumed at all. Wow. And what is the conversation life with Mike Tyson whenever it's hot? Are you guys like really, are you, listen, I've done quite a bit of blow myself. And I know what those conversations can be like, you know, hours long and and during,

we're talking about saving the world. And then you wake up in the morning and all you want is a beer and to go back to bed. But what do you guys talk about? Do you remember any of it? I mean, you know, sharing a super person old but. For sure. I mean, I just, I think that the final thought,

Mike's parting comment was that everybody's got Steve O'Rong that Steve O'Rose actually very intelligent. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Who is everybody's guy, you wrong. You're a smart guy. Wow, really, to have Mike Tyson say that to you, I'd just be a little nerf.

I mean, listen, I don't know Mike Tyson. And he seems like a perfectly lovely guy, you know? He also has matured. And you listen to him sometimes and you're like, wow, Mike Tyson really got his shit to get like, he knows what he's talking about. He's almost like a philosopher in some ways, right? And, but I don't know, just me personally,

man's stuck in a factor with Mike Tyson doing blow. I'd be like, oh, this doesn't go the wrong way. I don't be also thinks I'm intelligent, so I don't get hit. Steve, I gotta tell you, and I know I should share it a little bit early around in the conversation, but I see Arla and a team that's been a friend of mine for 30 plus years, and we've been

big fans since you guys came on air. I have to say that I feel like our life path have gone similar directions, and it's just such a pleasure to talk to you and know that the authenticity that we kind of felt through the screen is really there. You're a really cool guy and I'm so grateful that you came on the show. Well, thanks man, I appreciate it. You know, for you to know about the stilt stunt

for Big Brother, that's going deep man, that was a long time ago and It's pretty rad dude if I'm gonna have Steve O'on I'm gonna ask questions that I sincerely want answers to not ones that I already have answers to so And you know we do our homework. We don't want to sound like total idiots once we get on here I love it man. I love it appreciate it and uh... yeah man sounds like you checked out my bucket list special we did and we're gonna encourage our listeners to do so also

Oh my gosh, what a fun time with Steve. He could have been more gracious. Absolutely fantastic. I am still tripping over that story about Mike Tyson and doing blow for five hours with Mike Tyson. I can't believe he said locked in the bathroom.

Locked in the bathroom with Mike Tyson. And listen, I've seen, I'm reiterate this. I've seen lots of recent video, we've all seen Mike Tyson sense his heyday as a crazy and crazy talented boxer. He would destroy human beings. And everybody was afraid of him. But he seems like he's gotten some self-awareness

and some perspective on life. He's almost like a philosopher now. Super chill. A philosopher with a really weird voice, but a philosopher nonetheless. Does he raise pigeons? I don't, I think he does. I think he's almost like a philosopher now. Super chill. A philosopher with a really weird voice, but a philosopher nonetheless. Does he raise pigeons? I don't, I think he does. I think he's a pigeon-raiser.

He wouldn't surprise me in the list. It doesn't surprise me either. It's like the most, the biggest example of brute force in our lifetime, Mike Tyson, is like petting pigeons. He did this whole documentary about petting pigeons first, something it was really fascinating. But then when Steve says, the clowns voted me off the island, like the clown stab me in the back.

I just saw a shit. And then he said the boss clown. Oh, yeah, the boss clown. I'm just imagining thugs, you know, like, yeah. Yeah. And how do you not get higher on the circus that paid you to train? Outrageous. It's only Steve. But I like, here's what I like about Steve. And I try to convey the message. I hope I did appropriately. Steve also

has some perspective now in his later life. I think now that he's sobered up and he's probably going to more therapy meetings and we'll ever go to an art time alive. He's just got some self-awareness and there's not a bit, not an air of anything about him. He came on super authentic, so genuine. Yeah, very humble. Yeah, I liked it a lot. I'm really grateful that Steve decided to come on. That I have we get him back one day. We will get him back. I have a feeling he'll come back. And Chrissy's not here. But if you had told Chrissy and I at the beginning of this crazy adventure, or even a month

ago, that Steve O would agree to come on the commercial break, we probably would have laughed you out of the room. Because this is the most mediocre comedy podcast available. I have a feeling that of Steve's people go west into the show before they agreed to come on. But we're so grateful that he did decide to come on. Yeah, so all the pertinent details are available inside of the show notes. Let me remind you, go check out his special

book. hilarious. Go watch it. Yeah, go watch it. It's not money wasted. If you're a fan of anything Jackass or Steve O, you're gonna love this. Also check out his podcast Wild ride. It's It's good.
