It's up to you.
Do you have clips of that that you post that we can post?

i've got don't worry about it now don't worry about it now i have a vasectomy olympics promo
that i just give it to give it to us so we can at least put it on the episode yeah fuck how long
you touring this for by the way i've already toured it like i i ran the fucking shit i toured
it to death what are you gonna do in the new year are you not gonna tour in the new year
i'm gonna take my time and put together my do in the new year are you not going to tour it in the new year I'm going to take my time
and put together my new hour
another hour
so you're not going out
it's I mean
I just
gotta shoot
all my
you know
I know I know
yeah you gotta put it together
but that's fucking
I'm like in shock
I've never
I've never seen anything
like that in my entire life
I'm like literally
shocked out of my fucking mind
also I'm dumb
I didn't know that you
I thought people,
they pass you out
when they do a vasectomy.
No.
They don't put anybody under?
You can.
Some people will go
completely under.
But mostly what it is,
it's like when you go
to the dentist
to get one tooth worked on.
They'll do a little prick
which numbs the area
and all you feel
is that one little prick.
You're right.
Then they can grind. Then it doesn't matter't matter right it's exactly like that i've literally
never seen them cut that i didn't know they cut it like that i mean they literally i didn't know
what it was isn't it fascinating i had no idea how a vasectomy worked how quick too that was only
like 10 minutes yeah super quick god no i don't know if i could ever do it i don't know if i could
ever do it i mean that's just it's that's it's just what do you want to have kids sure but even if i didn't i don't even know
if i want to fucking snip my balls and fucking i don't know dude i feel so weird about it on a
cost benefit ratio what if it what if it fucks up what percentage of vasectomies go awry that's
kind of how i feel i'm like what what percentage of vasectomies go bad?
Let me tell you how it worked. Oh, holy crap.
Did I say 13.6%
don't work? Less than 1%
of vasectomies fail.
Here's the thing.
Before getting the vasectomy,
it was very important to
me to
answer the question that I get for the last
20 years, almost more than anything,
like after all of the terrible things
that have happened to my balls.
Yeah, we've all seen them over the past 20 years.
Could I have kids if I wanted to?
Like I couldn't just go get the snip and never know.
Right.
You know, like, so before the vasectomy,
I went into the fertility clinic and I tugged one off.
Yeah, you have to.
Yeah.
And I'm giving away a little bit of what's in the special.
I don't mind at all.
They told me that the average man has about 20 to 30 million sperm per milliliter of jizz.
Right, yeah.
I clocked in at 51 million.
51 million.
Yeah.
Congratulations. Congratulations. Yeah, so. You you beat me I think I was 38 million
wow dude
if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger
that's exactly right
and then
after the vasectomy
I went back
so what they do they say wait 30 days
and then go back
and they put it under the microscope again
30 days later I went back
there was not even a corpse on the battlefield
they were stronger
no no not even a corpse on the battlefield
nobody died
there was nothing
nothing
like they had cut the tubes
which delivered the sperm
oh you're saying
there was no sperm left
there was nothing
yeah I went from 51 million
like aggressive swimmers
you know,
and then it was like they put...
God bless.
Just glass.
Just glass.
Just glass.
Yeah.
That is insane.
And so now my lady and I
hump and dump
all month long.
Hump and dump
in the fucking Steve-O household.
Yeah.
She was like,
I don't want kids either, right?
She said no.
Yeah, she didn't want kids before we even met.
I didn't want kids.
It's crazy because I've done like a million things to promote this.
Not once have we gotten into the actual mechanics of a vasectomy.
Yeah, well, that's the real deal.
We just saw like the real deal snipping of an actual tube. It funny because it looks like a tube i didn't think it would look like a
tube you know how they say like like i have really bad nerve pain and they always say uh pinch a
nerve you've heard that before yeah no such thing it's not real like the nerve isn't a hose it's
actually more like a flat it's flat so it does it says you can impinge a nerve but you can't really
like hose it off that that's a fucking hose. That's a straight up hose.
It is a tube.
It is a tube.
It's called the vas deferens.
Vas deferens.
Yeah.
And it delivers sperm from the nuts through the wiener.
To your boy.
More importantly.
More importantly.
For those that are watching right now,
ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger.
My guest today is one of my favorite people on Earth.
I say that for all my guests,
but I mean him once again today.
It's Steve-o on the show
it's a mid-show intro we're talking about his special his vasectomy that you get to see
uh unedited unblurred straight from the fucking source you see his nuts open up uh go watch
bucket list on uh his your own website steve.com your own website and you get to see uh well we
got to see some fun i don't want to tell too much but i mean dude like it when i was a kid i was
like 12 years old i heard a joke what's the definition of macho and it was a man who jogs
home from his own vasectomy that's funny and i always wanted to be macho and you did that was
my thing so i remembered that joke.
And it was like the oldest, probably my first real stunt idea.
And you did jog home.
Based on that joke, like, man, when I grow up, I should get a vasectomy.
And I should do more than just jog. I should set a record for the most macho guy there's ever been.
Did you feel more macho after that?
Well, yeah, for sure.
Yeah, your balls were fucking black and blue.
How long do you have bruises on your nuts for?
My ball sack looked like that, like a plum,
for, I don't know, about a week.
Have you gone in and gotten your nuts checked enough
just to make sure that you haven't done any sort of
shape damage to them?
Do they bruise?
I don't think i've done
shape damage still they still hold their core huh yeah i don't think i've done any shape damage um
and like who cares yeah i guess if they're misshaped i don't know it might feel weird
when you i don't know if i don't know i mean i guess i have no idea what it'd feel like to have
like just a bruised testicle i don't want to ever find out the fact that you guys, since I've seen the shows over the years,
take shape.
The fact that so many of you guys are down to just get fucking walloped in
the nuts makes me think they're so much more durable than we ever thought.
I imagine cavemen must have been so delicate.
And then one dude smacked his nuts on something was like,
we're it's fine.
You could fucking run full speed, fall, nut it'll come right back perhaps a baby
i'm assuming they used to be real careful with them right and then they probably people got over
it then they probably tied them up and shit and then kick each other in the fucking dick like you
guys do i still can't believe you guys do that shit i've never i've been kicked in the nuts once
and it caused a massive fight in elementary school and after that i've never ever been kicked in the nuts the
cup test yeah shit like that like yeah it's fucking insane to sit there and let someone
fucking do that to you like i just can't uh has anybody had a damaged dick doesn't knoxville have
a damaged dick knoxville had a had a broken urethra.
It doesn't even sound like that's real.
Well, no, it was very real.
He tried to do a double backflip on a motocross bike.
That was the idea.
He didn't even come close to one flip.
He just got upside down.
They said, they told him, do not let go of the bike because the bike will come up and it will come down and land on you.
100%, yeah.
And he goes up there. All he managed to do was get upside down, let go of the bike because the bike would come up and it would come down and land on you. A hundred percent. Yeah. And he goes up there.
All he managed to do is get upside down, let go of the bike.
The bike went way up in the air and then the bike came down and landed square on his wiener
and broke his wiener.
And he had a catheter for, oh yeah, there it is.
He had a catheter for like years, years.
He had a lemonade stand,
lemonade bag tied to his leg.
Fuck.
With a catheter.
But now he's fine.
They pulled the tube out and now he works.
Yep.
Don't let go of the bike.
Well, that...
That wasn't it,
but the first one was it.
Also,
speaking of shit like this crashing...
Maybe it wasn't
and the handlebar is what got him.
Oh, it did.
Oh, there we go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Show me this.
Bow your head forward so the camera can see this tattoo on your fucking head, dude.
I mean, what are we talking about?
It's Crash Test Dummy logo.
I know what it is, dude.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're a big fan of the band Crash Test Dummies?
You got the Crash Test Dummy emblem on your forehead.
I remember those commercials.
I used to love those.
You don't remember those, do you?
I vaguely remember the Crash Test Dummy. You remember those commercials, don't you, where they used to talk to each other?
The crash test dummy?
Wow, I think I kind of do.
Yeah, that was like the...
The commercials were kind of funny.
Yeah, I do remember that.
They'd run into a wall at like 50 miles an hour.
What made you get this, dude?
I got it
right before I did my first
crash test dummy stunt a couple months ago.
But were you like, I want to do this?
Or was someone like, you should fucking get a crash test dummy tag?
I've had the idea forever.
Like, I've literally had the idea forever to dress up like a crash test dummy and recreate what you've always seen.
The car just
goes into the wall right super slow-mo the bag opens up um and uh yes i bought a car for no
purpose other than to just crash into a wall make sure the airbags work um and uh and and it's it's good because for my next hour, I'm going to alienate a lot of people.
And so I figured if I weave through the hour like a recurring crash test, I'm going to appeal to the macho kind of base.
You know, like kind of keep them looped in because I'm going into some weird areas.
keep them looped in because I'm going into some weird areas.
So for
people that don't know, people have to watch a special
to go see
The Bucket List. It took you a year of filming
and then a year of touring, right?
For The Bucket List
I spent eight months
filming the stunts, like
the vignettes, and then when I filmed
once I filmed it
then I would go to the comedy store, the improvignettes and then when I filmed once I once I filmed it then I would go to the comedy store
the improv laugh factory and just work out the material for that bit and and uh you know it was
it was awesome like I so each chunk of the show I did as like local sets and then put it all together for the tour.
But the new one's going to be a Crash Test Dummy special.
No, the new one's called Steve-O's Gone Too Far Tour.
And the Crash Test Dummy is just one element.
That's a piece of it.
Yeah, that's a piece of it.
You're going further than you've ever done on this.
Is this going to be like the last version of this?
I think so.
I think so.
You know, I was speaking with Caitlyn Jenner the other day.
What did Caitlyn have to say?
Is Caitlyn going to get involved?
I didn't bring it up, but there is definitely room for that.
Are you going to make Caitlyn?
No, no.
And Caitlyn was lovely.
I had the best time.
No, no.
Caitlin was lovely.
I had the best time.
And what I filmed with Caitlin and Lamar Odom won't come out until like deep in January. You guys were smoking crack?
What were you guys doing together?
Stop it, dude.
They have a new podcast.
And I hope I'm not upsetting anybody by saying that.
It's a joke.
Yeah, it's fine.
But Caitlin said about the way that I keep having to raise the bar
and push myself further and risk my life more.
Yeah.
An analogy, she said Elton John used to have all these elaborate outfits
and each one was just crazier than the last.
And then he got to a point where he's like, you know, like, Jesus.
And then he started wearing normal clothes.
Yeah.
Once you get over it, you're done.
So now you're going to go back.
You're going to be wearing suits and you're going to be like Steve-O as Mulaney.
Steve-O's up there.
He's like, you know when you're cooking toast?
This is fucking normal ass stand up.
Yeah.
toast this is a fucking normal ass stand up yeah yeah i i i really really am committed to to one more like multimedia hour that is just a big undertaking it is it's terrifying and also
the way you the way you tour is fucking lunacy the last time we sat but well we were on bad
friends but before that we were in australia in my hotel and this dude set up a podcast in my hotel room when i was down there shooting a movie and your touring schedule's
disgusting you have so many people with you and you go like i don't know how you do like with us
we had to take big breaks i couldn't do it we had we had a chunk on the bus and i was like
fuck this but you bust it or well you vanned it too right didn't you van i bought well i started
out renting um like a legit prevost tour bus yeah
the real deal yeah that dude that's an expensive proposition man it's absurd renting a prevost
and i was just like oh god it's so much money people don't know they cost so much money to
outfit those things yeah and you pay for a driver and he has to take breaks and you have to get hotels and it's, it's, it's, it's insane.
It's so much money. So what I did, I bought like a, like literally like National Lampoon's
vacation RV. Yeah. I bought an RV. I put the obnoxious, like, Burt Kreischer rap on it. It says Steve-O and everything.
And just ran that thing, you know.
You still have it, though.
Yeah, I do.
Really?
I've since peeled off the rap.
Yeah, you got to take that off.
So now I have the cloak of anonymity.
Yeah, but it's great.
I love it, man. And I, you know, I tour pretty.
It's so great when you graduate from comedy clubs to theaters.
It's cool.
I do love the clubs, though, because you really get a different vibe in a club.
You really get to kind of peel out some jokes and really, like, dig in deep into them.
That's what I do still love about the clubs.
I think I'm going to go back and do clubs next year to really go back and just start to feel it deeper again.
to really go back and just start to feel it deeper again because sometimes the theater shows are like such a show and you don't get to do that old you know that game of operation that you get to play
in the club with jokes where you're like oh where can i go with this thing and how far up can i go
and how theaters it doesn't really you don't really have the opportunity to do that i i think
that you can work on material just fine in a theater. You can, yeah.
And I also like just be like the whole crowded restaurant.
People are like so busy eating.
Well, that part's a bummer.
Yeah, that's why you got to pick your clubs carefully. You just got to pick the spots that you do that are like comedy-centric or comedy-based
or their history is based on it.
Right.
When you do fucking the strip mall ones, it's tougher.
And never mind the whole dynamic of the comedy club.
Just the fact that when you're in the comedy club, you go to one city per week.
You're in that one spot all weekend.
You're staying there, yeah.
You can start Thursday through Sunday.
Yeah.
And there's no such thing as shows on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
You know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
You know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whereas when you graduate to the theaters,
now all of a sudden,
all seven days of the week,
you can do shows. You can do shows, yeah.
And every night,
you can do as many people
as you can do for a whole week in a comedy.
Totally.
Did you ever go to Asia?
Did you ever do Singapore?
We got an offer to do Singapore.
Did you do that, Ryan?
Yeah, I did one in Singapore.
How was that?
Was that worth it?
Yeah, it was great, man.
It was great.
It was a huge turnout.
Is it a lot of expats?
Is that what it is?
Like a lot of fucking...
Some.
I don't think a lot.
I think that a lot of people speak English in Singapore.
That's right.
I mean, really, English is a dominant...
That's right, baby.
Respect us, rest of the world.
I mean, more people speak English in China than any other country in the world, but that's just a numbers game.
That's also because they're really good at business.
Yeah.
Yeah, they know how to fucking—they got our number.
They're pretty good at taking us to the cleaners.
And that's not a racial joke.
So don't laugh. That's not a racial joke so don't laugh that's
not funny dude no but i think it's i think it's rad that you like i've seen because i've seen you
over the years do that make the make the show to do the show which is another step that most comics
i mean that's a that's a fuckload of work dude i give you a lot of credit you're making the show
then you have to make the show which most of us we have to just make the fucking hour, take it out.
You have to make it, then take it out, and then do it to show it.
And hopefully, you know, but I do like that you're selling it on your own site.
I just had a phone call with a buddy yesterday
who's going back and forth over where he's going to put out a special.
And, you know, it was a long conversation about, like, what's the move?
I was like, I don't know, man.
Maybe just put it out yourself.
Watch what you did, which I think a lot of people are kind of maybe thinking about doing.
Just throw it up on your own shit.
This is a really interesting thing to get into.
I would have loved to have been on Netflix.
You know, I just thought.
Just for the namesake.
Yeah. I mean, it would have, uh,
for me,
for me,
it's,
um,
people look sideways at me.
I'm Steve-O from Jack as always.
Now Steve-O is doing standup,
you know,
and there's,
it's felt like an uphill battle to,
to kind of earn my,
my seat at the table.
And like,
I've,
I've wanted to have like a net, like each, each time I've wanted to have a Netflix.
Each time I've gone to Netflix and like, hey guys.
And it's-
And they don't want it?
I think that Robbie Praw has some prejudice against the idea of Steve-O doing stand-up.
Sure.
He even said when I came for my last special, I think it was directly from his mouth like uh that i i i deal with pure
stand-ups like lifelong stand-ups not like he thinks i'm a gimmick kind of thing and that that
was kind of crushing so my last special which was multimedia and it had like the whole cast of jack
as it was really something awesome.
I put that out on my own website.
Yeah.
And I did very well, you know.
Because the goal is what do you want out of it, right?
That's the whole end game of everything.
Do you want the money out of it?
Do you want the recognition?
What do you want?
That's the thing.
You know, I did well financially as far as like the all the money i invested in
and making that show like uh i mean i got way back i got way more than than i put into it so
then but the goal is you want the recognition from someone like netflix right and i mean i
like i i just felt this time around like having done stand-up for 13 years and with disgusting touring schedules.
Yeah.
Like I've been relentless.
I've just been grinding.
And there were five and a half years in between my second and third special.
Those five and a half years, like.
You really nailed it down.
I mean, I just felt like now with the format, the whole approach I have to it,
it's like jackass stunts meets stand-up all boiled into this multimedia thing.
It's finally there.
Now I want everybody to see it.
So I go to Netflix and arguably, I don't know if it's the prejudice
or if it's just literally literally how explicit it is i
mean i blow a load on camera in this special yeah i don't know that could be a big piece of it dude
getting your nut snipped and then shooting one in the sky i mean i do think there's a piece that's
like i don't know man this is kind of it's almost it's almost yeah i mean how would they check that
down on netflix is they have to put on content that's not super graphic.
But I mean –
Right.
I mean so it is what it is.
And at one point I brought the – I invited the jackass director, Jeff Tremaine, to my house.
I screened for him like an early recording of one of my shows with all the multimedia baked in.
I was like, man i because i had that hump
that that that door was just slammed shut on me and i thought if i went with the director of jackass
maybe that would open up the door from the director of jackass the stunts jackass could never
yeah i couldn't do you know like and uh sat down with jeff tremaine and he said you know hey man
like uh congrats.
You've really outdone yourself with this one.
But there's none of that that can be on Netflix.
Like nothing.
Yeah, that's probably what it is if I'm being honest with you.
The stand-up portion is fine to be on Netflix.
But I don't know if you could show some of that shit.
I mean you could talk about it, but the whole point of your show is showing it.
Right, right.
So Hulu, what's up, dude?
So I have it at stevo.com. Yeah, just go to the website.'s up dude so i have it at steve-o.com yeah
just go to the website it's easier i have it at steve-o.com it it's doing it just came out like
a few days ago it's uh well that's like louis that's like louis put his out on his own on his
own website uh of course you're jacking off on yours consensually and uh it's out right now wow i you just clicked like i had no idea
that they have an actual time for when uh well they have the sale and yeah the sale ends i mean
obviously when this episode comes out it'll already be just fully up there but you have right now i
mean yeah i mean i don't know like uh i don't know well it said the sale ends in 48 in 43 hours 43
days oh 43 days i Oh, 43 days.
I think so.
Yeah, I think that's right.
And, um.
Oh, okay.
Well, this will be, well then, so go, there's still a sale on it.
Go buy it right now.
Right.
I got a long way to go to make my money back on this one, dude.
Like just the opening sequence was 150 grand for a minute and a half of footage.
Well, yeah, because a helicopter.
Yeah.
I mean, that's costly.
Yeah.
And, um, all the vignettes, like it was like making a movie. This was like because a helicopter. Yeah. I mean, that's costly. Yeah. And all the vignettes.
It was like making a movie.
This was like making a movie.
Do you want to tell me what the total was?
You can say it.
I don't know.
I don't even know, but I'm guessing about a half a million dollars.
It's a lot of money to make an interactive special like that.
And then to shoot it, too.
I mean, that's nuts, dude.
Yeah, I shot it in London, England.
Why?
Was that deliberate?
Did you want to do it there?
Were you like, I have to do it in London?
I was born in London, England.
I went to all four years of high school in London, England,
and neither of those points had anything to do with taping it there.
I had literally just toured the wheels off of this thing so much
that you don't want to tape a special in a city that you've already done. just toured the wheels off of this thing so much.
You don't want to tape a special in a show that you've already,
or in a city that you've already done.
Yeah, that's kind of tough
because people have already seen it.
Yeah.
So, dude,
I performed this show in 262 cities.
Is there even 262 cities?
I mean, what, dude? 42 cities in Australia.
Oh, yeah.
42?
Who even knew that there were 42 cities?
Yeah, dude, we're doing 10, and I'm like, that's a lot, dude.
I don't think that Australians are aware of there being 42 cities in Australia.
I did 30 cities in Canada, which I think might be more than any artist ever did.
Yeah, that's huge.
I've done like six cities in Canada, maybe.
I've only done the big ones.
Yeah.
Do you plan your own shit?
Do you tell your team you want to go to these small little towns
or do they just throw them at you and they're like,
you want to go to here and here and here?
Yeah, I think I have an overly ambitious team.
I was just going to say, dude, yeah.
Are they buying another house somewhere?
See, we're doing 90 cities in Australia.
In here, we pour whiskey.
DraftKings Sportsbook, an official sports betting partner of the NFL playoffs,

This episode of Whiskey Ginger is brought to you by Rabbit Hole Distillery
and their one-of-a-kind Kentucky bourbon and rye whiskeys.
Hey, not a rye guy? Change your mind with some Boxer Grail.
This stuff is very, very good.
You're looking to get into rye, you're new to the game,
you haven't found one that you enjoy, this sauce is good.
Bold and spicy, balanced with sweet notes, it makes this rye a go-to.
It really is named after Louisville's rich boxing heritage.
Boxer Grill packs a punch from rye grain, but follows it up with flavors of citrus.
You got a little bit of citrus back there, bright floral notes and black tea flavors
keep you coming back from more poor, more poor, more poor.
Behind Rabbit Hole's award-winning spirits is their founder, Kaveh Zemanian.
This cat left a 20-plus successful career as a psychologist.
Went down the rabbit hole himself.
Went on a mission to craft the world's finest spirits.
That he did.
This year he was inducted into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame.
Fastest to ever be inducted.
They are a small batch pulling from under 15 barrels at a time.
Make no mistake, they always use toasted barrels.
They're toasted and charred, and it makes really good sauce.
You've got to give it a try.

Ginger.
I like gingers.
Look, dude, the reps is what it is you're if the more you do it the more comfortable you
are the better it hones in for sure just like anything and and like i ran this show for four
years and it never stopped improving like i kept kicking out bits replacing them with better bits
right well that's it right you're filming filming more working on it more working with writers working with speaking coach
like all of it like I went in to make speaking coach what's this yeah because
I sent an earlier recording to Knoxville and Knoxville was like man like this is
great I just like if you could figure out how to make your delivery feel more conversational
oh right and i tried like i i would try like while i was doing it i would record the shows play it
back and i was just like what's going on you know ended up uh working with the speaking coach and
and it actually um it wasn't even about like the mechanics of speaking it was really more like
therapy
like trauma therapy
almost like
you know
like
the speaking coach
watched
a recording of the show
and
and
this lady
she was like
yeah
you know
in the
in the
videos
the stunt video portion
in the multimedia
like
you're you, you know,
very normal.
So, like, why wouldn't
you just approach the
stage portion, like,
the stunt video?
And I think that it really
came down to, like, some
subconscious,
like,
self-conscious insecurity of, like, I'm on stage and, like self-conscious insecurity of like I'm on stage and like, you know, people don't want to accept me and stand up or some block like that.
It's you getting in your own way.
I think so, yeah.
Yeah.
And working with the speaking coach, it helped like immensely.
Is that your biggest anxiety for real? Is that this whole like, because look, you just talked about it with the speaking coach, it helped like immensely. Is that your biggest anxiety for real?
Is that this whole like – because look, you just talked about it with the Netflix thing.
Yeah.
And let's be real.
Is that – do you think that's something that still fucks you up and plagues you that you get out there and you're like feeling like you have to prove again that you're a stand-up?
I think that at this point, it's been long enough.
I think that at this point, it's been long enough, and I've really forged my own lane.
What I do is genuinely authentic.
Yeah.
No one else is doing that.
I'm not out there doing an impersonation of what I think a stand-up comic is.
You're just doing what you do.
I'm doing my own thing.
Right.
And I really think I did chisel through whatever, you know.
I think that it all freed me very much.
But, yeah, I'm definitely – I definitely still have a bit of a complex about that.
There's no doubt.
Do you think being here doesn't help?
Do you think being in L.A. doesn't help?
No, it's not that. It doesn't matter.
It's not that. It's not that, but definitely,
you know, like comics,
they go to the store to work on new stuff.
Sure.
You know?
Yeah.
Like, I was, for the first many years,
totally backwards about that.
I was like, man, if I go to the comedy store,
the whole room's going to be filled
with industry professionals, you know? Like, I room is going to be filled with industry professionals.
I'm not going to go there and work on new stuff and have it be bad.
I'll work on new stuff when I'm at Shuckles in Omaha.
And it was so important to me to try to really put my strongest foot forward in the clubs in LA.
And that changed when I put this show together. I no longer even cared. Like it really helped
now that where it's like, I filmed some like over the top, like unbelievably crazy thing.
And I'm going there to work out material about that. That kind of gave me license to feel like i belonged yeah that helped
kind of wedge that gap of like yeah the the yeah those nervous fucking moments do you are you
because of how the scenes are changing and because of like how you travel and tour i'm surprised you
still live here do you live here because you still want to be here or would you ever go anywhere else
just because you're kind of like a deer everywhere Like, you don't need to be here really.
I love Los Angeles, but
I also just bought
a 44-acre
ranch in Tennessee.
This boy's going to Tennessee, baby.
T-E-double-N-E-double-S-double-A!
Yeah. Tennessee, dude,
how far out? Are you deep in the middle of nowhere?
East Tennessee or West Tennessee? We're not going to say what city. North. Oh, you're How far out? Are you deep in the middle of nowhere? East Tennessee or West Tennessee?
We're not going to say what city.
Oh, you're, okay.
Right on.
Yeah.
North.
Closer, like very close to Kentucky.
All right, dude.
Rad.
It's, we got a badass property.
What do you plan on doing with 44 acres, man?
My girl and I have been talking about this forever because we don't want to have kids.
Like we're crazy about animals right so we've we've wanted to buy a big property and open up an
animal sanctuary oh dude yeah the soft side of steve-o yes he'll take a hit to his cock but he
respects and loves little tiny animals all creatures of the world he's a macho man but he's
also a sensitive soft sweet boy that's right what. What are we talking? Do you want to raise an animal sanctuary of all kinds of animals?
Farm animals.
Farm animals.
For the most part.
And now, we don't even know.
We know we won't have a lot of animals.
But we don't know if it's going to be a formal 501c3 nonprofit where the idea is to bring in tons of traffic to generate revenue to pay for the animals.
Or is it build the bunkers, get the solar, we're going off grid and we're growing our own food.
You could do a hybrid of both.
You know what I mean? You could do the thing where you're living in your own little world,
but also, you know, something sustainable income for it.
Yeah.
You want it to float itself, right?
Yeah, with a little Steve-O museum.
Right on.
Disgrace land.
Otherwise, you're going to be hemorrhaging money
if you own 44 acres of land without any income.
You're going to be out like 50 grand a month.
You're like, this is a little bit more pricey than I thought.
You could do with the little, what's a little person show?
The guy that created a farm?
Roloff Farms.
Do you know what this is?
I don't know.
Dude, there's a show, Roloff, R-O-L-F, R-O, Roloff Farms.
So this dude, there was a show on TV called Little People, Big World.
And this dude started off with a little farm.
Little being the key word there.
Just do roll-off farms, my dog.
So look at this dude.
Look at the sizes. He's got... This is going to be
the Steve-O future.
Except no little people. Unless you have a bunch
of little people that work for you. I don't know.
I don't know. Wee Man could, I guess, fill
in some of it. But this dude
owns a huge, massive acreage of farm that has like this.
Like this is what I can see you having.
Like pirate ships for exploration and shit.
You could have animals in like little exhibit, little towns and shit.
That would be fucking rad.
That's visitable for sure for me.
There he is. There's the king.
There's little Roloff.
Wow.
Show the bad picture of the farm, the whole farm.
See, go down.
There's the whole farm there.
You see a photo of it. Go down. See the green? There it farm, the whole farm. See, go down. There's the whole farm there. You see a photo of it.
Go down.
See the green?
There it is, kiddo.
Look at that.
That's you.
That's Steve-O-Land.
Yeah, I see it.
I think it's way bigger than that.
Yeah, that's pretty fucking big.
But yeah, you're probably bigger than that.
That looks huge.
Now, will you have a track on it and stuff?
Do you still have mot you have motocross
and all that shit?
There is a one mile
private trail
that goes around
the whole thing
through the woods.
That's my favorite.
Dude, that is rad.
That was the one thing
where when we visited it
like recognizing
that this is
by far
the most idiotic time
in the history
of the human race
to buy a property. Sure. Who cares? You in the history of the human race to buy a property.
Sure.
Who cares?
You see the graphs of how...
Inflation, yeah.
We're ready for the crash.
And when they took us on
this little side-by-side four-wheeler,
they drove us around that mile,
private trail.
I was like, okay, dude.
Who cares?
We're going to die. Do it now. I feel like I talk to my business manager sometimes drove us around that mile private trail i was like okay dude who cares yeah we're gonna die
do it now that's i feel like i talk to my business manager sometimes and
if i ever get scared about anything and he's always like well uh you have to live now right
he's like are you gonna live later i was like i think so he's like yeah but you don't know
so live it live now do your best but live it now because every time i get scared of that i'm like oh what's gonna happen who knows with a business and it's like whatever yeah, but you don't know. So live now. Do your best, but live it now. Because every time I get scared of that, I'm like, oh, what's going to happen?
Who knows with the business?
It's like, whatever, man, live it now because it'll be over anyway.
I love that.
I love that.
And that's exactly what we did.
We bought it.
Live it fucking right now, dude.
We've been even so passionate about this idea that my lady and I have been just waiting to get married on the property.
Oh, that's rad.
So we're going to have a big wedding on this dope ass ranch.
Because you guys already got married for the books, but not.
No.
No, you didn't?
No.
I thought you did it.
You'd already.
Oh, no.
I wear an engagement ring.
Oh, that's right.
Okay, right on.
That's right.
You told me that.
That's right.
So you're going to do a big, huge wedding on there.
44 acres.
I mean, something.
You're going to do something wild.
Yeah.
We're going to do something cool. Yeah. I could tell. Yeah. With you, something... You're gonna do something wild, yeah. We're gonna do something cool.
Yeah, I can tell. Yeah, with you, you'll do something
insane. You don't have to tell me, but man, am I
interested in what 44 acres of land cost in Tennessee.
It's a lot of money. It's a lot of money.
That's a lot of fucking land, dude.
Yeah, and it's got a dope-ass
house and stuff. This guy, dude. Huh?
This guy. I don't know. Go buy that
bucket list on steveo.com.
Help him get some more land, baby.
Let me tell you this, that there's like 10 items on the bucket list, right?
There's like 10 video breaks to pay off bits.
And the actual bits, they go in distinctly descending order of my
fiance's approval and support.
In the beginning,
she's super... You saw the first
one. She's actively participating,
totally into it.
She's making it happen.
Then
you saw the vasectomies a couple bits later.
She's still front and center.
She's right there, yeah.
And when the kids are whacking me in the nuts, she's like, no, you hit him in the nuts.
Yeah, she did say that.
She goes, go for the front.
Go for the front, guys.
Yeah.
And then after that, it starts getting really illegal and life-threatening.
We've got medical professionals stealing drugs from the hospital.
Like, straight up, we had medical professionals
stole general anesthesia drugs.
We all get together, the medical professionals in disguise.
I'm on a bicycle with an IV in my vein.
They're pumping general anesthesia drugs into my veins
while I'm hauling ass on a bicycle.
My fiance was still there for that one.
These medical professors aren't losing their license because of this?
I'm never
going to say who they were. That's right.
Not even anybody on set
got to see them. They were head to toe in disguise.
They have to be. Otherwise they'll lose their whole license.
They'll fuck for the rest of their life.
In jail. How did you lose your license?
I stole anesthesia for Steve-O to ride on a bike.
Was it worth med school, dog?
That's so, that's crazy.
Yeah, then when my lady, and my lady's name is Lux.
When Lux, then she just stopped showing up.
Because she got over it.
Well, she was like, look, you know, there are certain things in life you can never unsee.
And I just can't bring myself to be there to witness one of those things.
You giving birth.
Yeah, she was like, I can't see a baby come out of your dick.
It was the epidural sprint.
Oh, when you got an epidural and then started running.
Yeah, they put the four-inch needle in my spinal cavity, inject the drugs to render me paralyzed,
yank out the needle,
and I take off running to see how far I can go.
How far did you go?
I ran out of room.
I had to turn around and come back.
That a boy.
And then I fell, like, collapsed like a baby giraffe being born.
How was the epidural?
Didn't it feel good?
They say it's like a blowjob for your back.
It was the scariest thing.
Why?
Because, like, I got this crazy doctor guy he's like hey no one
likes to hear that i got a crazy doctor yeah he's fucking nuts dude who knows what he'll do yeah he
tells me he can uh he can paralyze me with a four inch needle in my spine and uh and i'm like i'm
thinking this sounds great but that's not what I think.
I would say that's the fucking worst thing I've ever heard in my life.
I can paralyze you with a four-inch needle.
Right.
So I just reached out to Dr. Drew to see what he thinks.
Dr. Drew says, wow, do I hate that idea.
Yeah, bad idea.
Like running with an epidural going on in a field.
And not even like a clean grass, like dirt.
Yeah, just like a hard earth.
Yeah, hard earth dirt.
And what Drew said, he says, I wish I could talk you out of this, but I know I never will.
I'm going to stop you.
But just please hear me when I say watch out if you find yourself becoming paralyzed above the waist.
The idea is it paralyzes you from the waist down.
He's like, but if you start being paralyzed, sometimes it'll back up, he says.
And then systems are going to shut down on you.
It'll get to your heart, right?
Then you're going to stop breathing.
They're going to need to intubate you, you know, to have a machine breathe for you. And if you're in a field doing this, like on
dirt, you know, like that, you can really die. Yeah, I do. That's. And I thought about it.
And did it anyway. Yeah, I did. So, um, the, the, what was so scary is as soon as I collapsed onto the ground, like almost immediately, I cannot feel anything like up to my chin.
I cannot even feel any indication that I was able to breathe at all.
And I'm like, I'm having trouble breathing.
And I'm just thinking this is it.
Like here I go.
Like I'm just this.
I'm not.
Here I am on the dirt.
The doctor is actually dressed up like a clown and then like you know
and and and the guys have to do their job which is to figure out how paralyzed I really am so
they're doing all this unbelievably dark crap to me while I'm on the ground saying, I'm having trouble breathing.
And I'm fighting to try to get enough air to say,
I'm having trouble breathing.
What do they have to do?
What do they,
I mean,
they're like,
they're zapping me with,
uh,
you know,
electrocuting things.
Defibrillators or whatever.
Yeah,
no,
no,
no.
They're,
they're hitting me with stun guns.
Yeah.
They're, they're lighting me up with paintballs,
setting my feet on fire.
Smart man, dude.
That's the way to do it.
Yeah.
It was epic.
It was the most epic thing ever.
It was the scariest thing ever.
But once I got
to the other side of it,
I started sobbing.
Absolutely sobbing.
And the weird doctor guy is like, you know, no emotion, but now he's just confused.
Why is Steve-O sitting here crying?
Through my tears, I go, the bar for my stunts is so high.
And we just raised it.
It's like tears of joy because we just raised the bar, the impossible bar.
We did the impossible, dude.
Yeah.
And so then, you know.
You died and came back.
It was a rebirth for you.
Yeah.
Like, jackass, you can't break the law.
You know, you just can't.
And like that, here I'm breaking the law, medical professionals risking like everything they worked for and their freedom.
Don't you feel like you beat the life casino?
You have to stop gambling at some point, dude.
You beat the casino.
Like nobody beats the house.
You beat the house a thousand times.
Yeah, man.
Like it seems evident that the universe has a plan for me.
Yeah, you know what it is though?
You're going to die some like really boring.
You're going to choke on like a chicken nugget out of all the fucked up shit you've done you know what i mean like you'll die so monotonous
and boring because you've lived such an extreme life it's kind of like that alex honnold guy the
free solo guy yeah right it's like dude that that guy will die from like you know he'll he'll slip
and fall and break a hip and you know what i mean right something crazy will happen that's like what
you didn't die falling off a rock that's what's insane to me about you, that you've touched it so many times. It's almost like the thing can't get you. Something wants you
around. In here, we pour whiskey. Here to tell you about Lucy. Lucy makes tobacco-free nicotine

The habanero, garlic habanero hot sauce for your butthole, baby.
Yeah, butthole destroyer.
That's top tier shit.
Yeah, the butthole destroyer is really, really...
Of all the bases that you keep touching, dude, over the years that I've known you,
what's the end game? What's the one that you're like, that, over the years that I've known you, what's the end game?
What's the one that you're like, that's the one big hurdle I want to jump over?
Not stunt-wise.
I mean, just like, what's the one thing that you feel like is your apex?
Like, once I do that, I'll feel like I'm solid.
I want to have a show in an arena one day.
You want an arena show?
I mean, technically I did, but it was like in this little tiny town
in Canada.
Who cares?
It was a little hockey arena.
Yeah, but that counts.
And there's like,
I forget how,
you know,
they had like a little section
cordoned off, you know?
Yeah.
I want to like properly do an arena show.
You want an arena arena?
Yeah.
You want like the real deal?
Yeah.
That's funny.
The way you said that
when you smiled, you mean it. That's so funny that you mean it oh big time yeah i don't fucking i
fucking i've done arenas i i i i don't know man there's something about them that's like
they're amazing not not my show i've done other people's arena shows obviously but
i don't know that's a why that's a but i like that you have that because some people have said
when i was a kid i always wanted to play the garden.
Right.
You see that a lot.
Like when I was a kid,
like Andrew Schultz,
like our boy Schultz sold out to fucking gardens within,
I don't even know,
probably 20 minutes.
The first one.
The next one.
Yeah.
It's insane.
Yeah.
But like,
for me,
people have always been like,
Oh,
for Chicago,
when I played the United center with Rogan,
was that a dream?
Not really.
Like for me,
it was um
honestly in my mind i thought if i can make people laugh till i'm dead or till they make me
like it till it's over i'm good like i never had the whole like big room big vibe i was like if i
can just fucking get people to really want to come along with the
ride because i know the ride is going to be fucking all over the place man you're going to
have you know i mean it's it's like this it's like this if uh if you look at music there's like this
catch 22 or maybe maybe not as much anymore but it's's like, like the, the dynamic was that if you want to really
blow up big, you have to have like a major record label.
Right.
But if you want to make any money, you have to own your own music.
Sure.
So like there's, you know, for people to really get big, it's like, you you know like it and and from for me i mean it's a different different
dynamic but like i i've been quietly kind of under the radar performing stand-up comedy
for for more than 13 years now and nobody knows you know like in in the general consciousness of
the world nobody really knows that ste Steve-O does stand up.
You know, like there's this.
I mean, millions of people know.
Well, okay.
But not on a global scale.
Yeah.
Right, right.
Fucking billions of people don't know.
But like, I just think that I've finally gotten to a point where I just feel like what I made with this last special is really, really good.
It's like unbelievably good and my fear is that
it's just not gonna get the audience.
If this new special, Steve-O's Bucket List,
could get the audience that I believe it deserves,
then I think it just blows up.
And then who knows?
Right.
Like for my next tour, how big it could get.
And if that were to happen,
the proof of that being the case
would be that I was legitimately performing in an arena.
Oh, I hope you get it, dude.
Because you're so passionate about it
because it makes me smile that you're like,
you really, really mean it.
So I think you, I mean, dude, those kind of things are, they're up to you more than anything anyway.
You're already there.
It's almost like you're already doing it.
All you have to do is keep expanding this balloon until it gets so fucking big that.
I just got to get eyes on this special.
So like, people, believe me.
Believe.
Believe me that Steve-O's Bucket List is the most utterly, shockingly entertaining thing that I've ever made.
I swear.
It is a beautiful, touching love story.
It's stunts that would never be allowed to happen on Jackass.
And it's the most
wildly elaborate production
that I've ever put together. A touching love story
nonetheless. Yeah, absolutely. That's the best part of all
of it, right? Yeah, I mean by the end of it
Lux isn't just not showing up
like by the end of it
like we're having a problem
you know? She wants to leave you because of it
By the end of it we're having a problem
and we're like I'm rolling the dice with our relationship.
And the fact is that when heads are butting and my attention whoring is one of the heads, there's a problem.
There's a big problem.
That tends to be the issue with chicks dude
when it's all about me me me
does she come with you on the road to all your shows?
sometimes
and she was great about it
the biggest problem that she had
was me actually ejaculating on camera
yeah I can see that being
that's her territory a little bit
she wants that just for her
there's a lot of problems with that because I wasn't just ejaculating i was ejaculating with another man
strapped to my back in an airplane filled with dudes pretty typical and in order to get that done
i had to bring a a dvd player yeah so now i'm pleasuring myself to the image of another woman
with men with men in the room, no less.
Yeah, with a bunch of men in the room.
Doesn't sit well with my lady.
She doesn't like stuff like that, yeah.
Couldn't she have gotten up in that plane with you and just had some fun and gotten to the spot?
You really want to commit, babe?
Get up in the plane, fluff me out, and then let's go.
That wouldn't have worked either.
The rad thing, the next level would be you guys hooking up, skydiving together.
That would be fucking dope.
Would she be down?
Doggy style in air would be so wild to see that floating down to the earth it's not a bad idea you get
trained enough right you have to go tandem you could be you could be her instructor on her back
and then you're good to go and then get one of those harnesses you know call me if you want me
to produce the bit dude if i get the tandem the tandem license, I'm already on or back.
Yeah, dude, you're right there.
What else, man?
You're right there.
Yeah, you could just train enough, jump enough.
Have you jumped a lot or no?
No, that was my first time.
What?
That was the first time you went up?
That was my first time, dude.
And here's the thing, dude.
That was an idea that I'd had for 20 years.
Yeah.
And the reason why, you won't even believe me when I say this.
Like, you won't believe it, but I'm terrified of bungee jumping, roller coasters, and I
never wanted to go skydiving.
I just.
Why?
What, you?
All the bullshit that you do?
Yeah.
And a bungee jump scares you?
Yeah, like, I just, like.
Do you think that that's the time it's going to break?
You're like, this is the time?
No, it's not even that.
It's just, I think that, like, I think that I grew up jumping on stuff.
Yeah.
So I don't care what you tie to me.
I can't look off a 200-foot bridge and see anything doable about that.
I just have a block.
Whoa.
And sustained periods of falling, I don't like it.
I just don't like the way it feels.
I don't want it.
I hate it. I just don't like the way it feels. I don't want it. I hate it. So for 20 years,
whenever skydiving came up as a mechanism for avoiding going skydiving, I always said, man,
dude, come on, dude. That's not for me. I was like, that's everybody goes skydiving. It's not
a stunt. Like for me to go skydiving. Elementary school teachers go skydiving, dog. Yeah. Grandma's
go skydiving. You know, like you you gotta understand that for me to go skydiving
i would have to be butt ass naked and furiously jacking off with another man strapped to my back
plus simultaneously blow a load as i fell out of the plane and someone was like we can do that for
you dude that's called skyjacking skyjacking let's go skyacking. And then like when it- Does Guinness Records ever recognize you? Did they snub me year after year?
Yeah, Netflix and Guinness.
Netflix and Guinness snubbing you year after year.
Guinness doesn't recognize any of this?
I'm huge fans of both, by the way.
Yeah, for sure.
They don't recognize any of this?
Follow them both on Instagram.
Love them.
Yeah.
Follow them on Instagram.
Yeah.
Have you ever reached out to Guinness?
Every time they pop up
on my feed
it hurts
yeah
it stings
I mean dude
I made a video
for my YouTube channel
of 10
10 undeniable
world records
which Guinness
gives me no credit for
will they just not respond
or are they like
no we don't recognize this shit
I mean
I had a little bit of fun
you know
I got a little bit ridiculous with it.
That's a huge bummer that they won't give you credit for it.
Yeah, like the highest port-a-potty.
Yeah.
The one that I think is really, really worth giving it to me for
is vomiting on television and in film.
Because we've all seen it.
Every time somebody barfs
in any TV show or movie,
it's plainly evident
that they just have something
in their mouth
and they spit it out.
You can tell the difference
between a real barf
and a fake barf.
Yeah.
And nobody has real barfed
on TV or in film anywhere near as
many times as i have and no one's gonna question like this well can we count it i mean how many
times have you barfed on camera like demonstrably like that's why you sound like that no he's your
fucking your vocal cords are yacked perhaps it's you and rfk rfk is he has he might have more barfs
than you on camera.
It's unbelievable, dude.
You know what's so funny?
In the course of my lifetime, I genuinely can count, I think, on one hand, I've only thrown up maybe five or six times.
And I mean that.
That sounds crazy.
But when I get sick, I don't throw up.
The only times I've ever thrown up was partying. Too much drink.
Partying when I was when i was at
college yeah it was the last time i remember from puking but outside of that whenever i got ill
i never threw up i never was a guy who would get like the stomach flu or it went out that way
so genuinely when i see that it scares the shit out of me because i the pain from throwing up is
like like in college one time um i was really sick i was this thing and i would have
like the dry heaving which hurts you you wish there was something in there right the dry heaving
is the worst and the yellow bile ah yeah dude that hurts it's so painful because stuff in there
you're like yeah it almost feels like you're just emptying a bag you're like okay like it all gets
out of you well guinness if you're if if anybody from Guinness is listening, or should I say,
if anybody from Guinness
is listening,
any of my family out there.
It's so funny
it's the same company
that does that,
that Guinness,
the beer maker.
I know.
It's so weird.
You guys make beer,
but you won't recognize
our boy, dude?
Yeah, I went for a...
Recognize our boy, dog.
I set an undeniable
world record
in my bucket list.
I mean, that's so crazy that you have the most, you definitely have the most pukes on
camera.
You probably have the most kicks to the genitals on camera.
That I'm not claiming.
That I'm not claiming.
But.
You don't think you've been kicked more on camera than anybody else?
Not in real life.
Oh my guys.
There are a lot of people that take nut shots.
In your crew.
Yeah.
else? Not in real life. Oh my guys,
there are a lot of people that take nut shots.
In your crew. Yeah. But for the bucket list, I set a free
diving world record. The longest
anybody has ever been completely submerged
holding their breath in
pure, rotten
urine.
Yeah.
Oh shit. Guinness
call up, dude. It's like, what are you waiting
for? Yeah. why can't the why
can't guinness make a dirty guinness record book like and and how about this how about this if
nothing that i've done good work with me come on guys yeah call me and tell me what you want me to
do yeah let's let's collaborate i guarantee you there's got to be shit in that book that's
on the questionable side yeah they have they have millions of records that are in there.
We should
have a campaign online. People that are listening
to the show, do me a favor. Write Guinness
World Records. Tell them
that they need to put Steve-O in there in some way, shape, or form
or fashion. I think that would be the only
way to get this done is if the fans reach out.
Because honestly,
here's the
records that are no longer accepted.
I have seen this before
that they say there's like,
they've stopped taking certain ones
because they don't want
to influence people
to try them again.
Right.
Yeah, going without sleep
is detrimental.
Gluttony,
they don't want someone
who can eat the most.
Binge drinking, obviously.
Hunger strikes or fasting.
Heaviest pets.
What?
I think that they've even
called it on tattoos.
Really? Cruelty to animals? What, that they've even called it on tattoos. Really?
That was a record for a while?
How many dogs can you beat?
Child endangering records.
Yeah.
China said all those.
There's nothing mean-spirited or... No, none of your stuff. So here's the deal.
With you, the thing I always like to say is
and this goes in comedy in general or performance, if the pie's on your face it's on you, the thing I always like to say is, and this goes in comedy in general, or performance,
if the pie's on your face, it's on you, dude.
It's not like you didn't do this to somebody else.
100%.
If the pie's on your face, I don't understand why that's not clear for you to just get the record.
Well, Guinness, listen up, dude.
We're sick of this.
We really need this to happen right now.
So please, ladies and gentlemen at home write in more importantly
I want people to
really enjoy this special I've known you for a while
I've seen what you've created
and you should be very proud because it's wild
it's fucking unique and original
