Steve-O | Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson | Ep 4

[Music] [Music] yeah man there's a lot to talk about and what what a treat to be here I really it's so good to see you my friend Joey Lynn's brother so good to me my Mike Tyson stories are so [ __ ] good you know I'll go back to when my book came out this was before we did the Charlie Sheen roast together now I saw Mike at the Charlie Sheen roast and I came up to him and I said hey Mike I you know I put out this book and I told the story about us doing all the cocaine in the bathroom in the book and the lawyer said it was fine you know but I kind of felt weird about it because I didn't check with you and I'll never forget Mike Mike likes me he says it happened you tell it so great I was like I thought man that how cool I got Mike's blessing and then when we were on stage I had held back the part about where we were in the psych ward together I don't think that that was in the book but then because Mike said that that night or when we actually taped the Charlie Sheen roasts they didn't I don't think included in the show but I was like yeah Mike and I were in a psych ward together and Mike didn't give a [ __ ] about that I was I was so psyched and I was happy to see you could I've been there a couple of times I haven't seen anybody know so I went ahead and I made it part of part of my act right I'm on in and my stand-up and at one point I'm doing this this interview for like GQ calm it just seemed like them like like this whatever interview and I'd tell the story there and then all of a sudden like boom its I didn't think I didn't think anything of it I got like I got a call weird the same agent Chris Smith oh he's my man he calls me up and he says hey Mike get Mike and his camp are really unhappy about that but the way this story went all over the place and then later he told me I might didn't say [ __ ] I just didn't want you messing with his how about that Charlie Sheen Rose I was pretty good too dude so so we we taped of course me I broke up broke my [ __ ] nose at the Charlie Sheen Rose did you madman you think that story to move set miss foxy when we tape the Charlie Sheen Rose this part I think is so [ __ ] funny like whether there was like maybe like a week before it actually aired after we taped it and and Charlie invited everybody that was involved with the Rose into his house this huge [ __ ] mansion you gotta remember his house yeah yeah and this is like before she got real crazy with him it was actually it got crazy at first but before he was crazy those everybody over to his house before we taped the roasts and after when it aired so it was before we taped there was when I first met him and we're at the house he like pulled me aside he said party just just to hang it wasn't like a party party in Charlie Sheen style it was more just like everybody meet before we work together okay so we're at the Charlie Sheen's house you know the first time I met in there he pulled me aside he said you know I'm an Stevo you and me when we go down in flames we don't [ __ ] around to watch it right which was so crazy because he hadn't at that whole like [ __ ] meltdown debacle with the two and a half men and and he had like I guess suppose got fired from the show and so when the Charlie Sheen roast aired it aired immediately after the very first episode that featured Ashton Kutcher Oh Ashton Kutcher replaced him and so on on the whatever the network the this premiere with the Ashton Kutcher season was the the Charlie Sheen roast on Comedy Central aired immediately afterwards so we watched both of them in Charlie Sheen's living room with Charlie Sheen and he didn't know what uh how they killed off his character he didn't know what the [ __ ] they did after he left so we're sitting there in the living room with [ __ ] Charlie Sheen while he watches this and and it was like they they had like his he had died and they had his urn with the ashes and then like someone like bumbles it and like throws the [ __ ] thing there's the ashes go everywhere there's a huge cloud and as the cloud of ashes like comes down Ashton Kutcher appears in the background like and and Charlie watches that he goes oh [ __ ] I gotta give it to him that's good he didn't know dude and so then that same night I I go and I'm like hey dude and Charlie let's get a photo and take a selfie me and Charlie Sheen and after to take the selfie and then I'm like walk around and I'm thinking and I go over to Jeff Ross and I go dude check it out we're in the world's I said I think we're in the world's most expensive crack house Charlie oh my dude can I join I'm tweet this photo with the caption that says I think I'm in the world's most expensive crack house and Charlie says hilarious go for it I love it so I did and then I had one of my stand-up shows like locally in somewhere in California that weekend so I'm on the news the next morning and someone liked it some ladies like she's like what can I interview you from my thing or whatever and and she goes he's Charlie Sheen sober and I said I don't know I don't think so and because I said that because I tweeted about the crack house I got a [ __ ] phone call from his uh his manager this this dirty live next door to him the dude was furious and I was like I didn't mean to rock the boat or UPS anyone but then I got a hold of Charlie he said I don't care with Mike [Laughter] but yeah man [ __ ] that whole charlie sheen situation is crazy I saw that he posted that he's been sober for over a year now which is great you know it's great didn't but I mean I can only imagine like the like the legal situations that he's in now yeah you know I mean talk about like talk about having a lot and then he was just on top of the world he's just got everyone's like what the [ __ ] Charlie blew up he he had like especially even when he left the two-and-a-half men he turned that into this like unprecedented anger management contract that guaranteed like 90 episodes there's no girl yeah but but in any case from the Charlie Sheen Rose right this is the greatest [ __ ] story ever this is the [ __ ] greatest story ever and like you'd think like like man's crazy I broke my nose on Mike Tyson's fist at the Charlie Sheen Rose which by the way is in my estimation the [ __ ] coolest way you could possibly break your nose like Devo I don't know understand how beautiful it was because the Charlie Sheen Rose was 2011 right and it was I forget like like lame longer than that it was James 2011 now what happened was and this is this is just so [ __ ] incredible the 2010 we filmed jackass 3d right and and as part of jackass 3d my buddy Bam Margera he's part of the show he had this trick because we were playing around with the super slow motion camera for the first time the phantom camera was brand new so we had this gag where BAM would sneak up behind you he would throw water through a cup of water and your face with one hand and with this other hand he had a boxing glove on he would sucker punch you so as the water hit your face the other side to slo-mo your whole face and it was called the rocky and they did it in slow-motion this this super slow-motion face punch said to the rocky theme music it's [ __ ] hilarious if y'all see me and now when when Bam did it to me it was it was a real pisser because I had this idea that I pitched I said hey dudes I want to shoot my nipple off with a BB gun girl right everybody said nah that's too dark you know that's but it wasn't yeah it wasn't as much as that it was too dark it was just that like there's legal implications when something is imitatable and particularly if you're gonna involve a gun and shooting someone on purpose let alone in the chest that's where the problems were but they but the even though they knew they would never use even though they knew they would never use the part where I got shot in the nipple with the BB gun they said okay we'll let let them do it anyway because it's a convenient a convenient way to keep me standing in one place in front of the slow-motion camera oh so the BAM can sneak up and through the rock right so so we set it all up and we got all the guys we man shoots this BB into my nipple and it's still in there like so much alright for the BB Oh weird weird okay so so now we man shoots the BB my nipples all apart I'm saying they're checking it out I'm thinking oh it's so cool that it stayed in like I get I get to keep it and and bam sneaks up throws the water in my face he [ __ ] punches me and and he actually did it not in front of the [ __ ] slow-motion camera which sucks and he completely broke my nose like that was my nose was that was the first time I remember when johnny Knoxville it wasn't a butter bean beat the [ __ ] out of ya cocky do that but he cracked his head open his head harder on the floor Jim this is the first time I broke my nose and I was really pissed off at BAM and because he didn't do it on the slow-motion camera and because like there was this continuity thing with all this blood coming out of my nipple like the footage didn't get used it and the footage didn't [ __ ] get used at all so it happened for [ __ ] nothing and I was saw and I was so pissed off about it and I didn't know like I just sort of stood about in stream I waited two months it was two months before I finally snapped and I said [ __ ] I'm getting my nose fixed and the [ __ ] movie's gonna pay for it la right and so so I got so I didn't tell them I tell them the you know whatever the movie office is I'm going to this [ __ ] fancy Beverly Hills nose doctoring you [ __ ] are paying for it you [ __ ] [ __ ] and so I go to this doctor with my crooked nose my broken [ __ ] crooked nose and the doctor tells me he says yo I would love to help you but it's been two months idiot it's [ __ ] healed that way it's here this is where the doctor says he said I could fix it but because it's healed that way the only way I can fix it is to raise it to really break free break it the guy says with a [ __ ] chisel he says I got a rear break it with a chisel and I'm like oh I'm good I'm good and so so I just I lived with my my crooked ass nose for another like year maybe a little more than a year and then comes the Mike Tyson I get where right and so I showed up at the Charlie Sheen roasts with a crooked ass nose right and all I was trying to do loaded they will you loaded on I was completely sober and and I showed up with the [ __ ] rose for the crooked nose all I was trying to do is get a black eye with Mike with Mike but when I drove into his fist and I just like I don't know I got my nose on it I think Mike Mytilene dinner he just Mike's a solid guy Mike solid guy my nose was so [ __ ] broken that's a boy it was significantly more broken when I did it with Mike but but what it was were like here I'd crumple them on the ground Charlie [ __ ] or William Shatner he's like what the [ __ ] my nerves is gushing blood I can tell just without like looking in a mirror I can see just with what my eyes can see my nose is nowhere near in the [ __ ] right place dude it's my nose was it was parked under my right eye I mean it was dramatically [ __ ] broken and and that was the last thing that happened on the stage so it's like okay now the show's over and everybody's getting up and starting to leave but then like I hear this guy's in steve-o in the crowd like what everyone's you know milling around like the show's over but this guy's just charging towards the stage he's like steve-o steve-o your nose needs to be set right now right and I'm because of my experience with the [ __ ] nose doctor in Beverly Hills I know that to be true so I'm like okay wait there's something to this this guy knows what he's talking about so I'm like painting like okay he got goes your nose needs to be set right now and he comes up to the stage and I'm like all right talk to me like like what do I do and he goes don't worry I'm a kung fu instructor he says oh yeah I'm a kung fu instructor I've said like 20 broken noses I know what I'm doing and decision on the spot right then I'm like alright well going to the hospital and getting it taken care of professionally just sounds like a [ __ ] pain in the ass this is just not this is way more convenient I got nothing to lose it's not like he's gonna make it look any worse because it was so bad so I just sat on the edge of the stage and I trusted this weird kung fu guy who turned out to be a really nice guy but like he just puts a thumb on either side and he's just cook ah just wrenches it and figs and the tea I'll be damned if that [ __ ] guy did not fix my nose completely perfect to where I showed up at that roast that night with a crooked nose like I got a Mike Tyson kungfu nose job with my nose perfectly [ __ ] straight and I got it done for free it's the greatest story ever and if it's Mike if I didn't break my nose on it was still my face thank God thank God before and after there was life like when when it was broken from BAM and then like how it fixed healed crooked and then when it was broken from from Mike and then how it fix out to that it's the great I'll repost promote this if anybody wants to see these before and after photos this for photo sequence it's unbelievable start of my own safety what happened we decided the ethical street oh my god that was like almost not even my choice I had an intervention like that was in Johnny Knoxville yeah put it all together and it wasn't the kind of like on Iranian on TV when you watch an intervention they ask are you willing to accept help you're not like will you will you go to treatment right for me they weren't asking they were telling me they said were taking me into the hospital I got the 5150 it was my first time in the psych ward and not the time when I was with you there is I had to psych wards and so uh explain what's 51 crazy [ __ ] means that there's like if they can prove that you are a threat to yourself or others which means if you say anything to the effect I want to kill myself or if you know or if you say even just I want to harm myself you know or if you're caught cutting or anything right right maybe you'd be threatened someone if you're if you pose a threat to yourself or others then under the law in California it's called 5150 this happened to Britney Spears Heather Locklear just had a couple of them there's a lot of celebrities on the 5150 Club you're in in Florida I know it's called the Baker Act but what it means is that they can just in the involuntary you know against your will they lock you up in a psychiatric ward for three days oh whoa and they can determine if they want to keep you like in my case when Knoxville and the Jackass guys brought me to the hospital like I was I was spitting on people I was like trying to [ __ ] throw temper tantrums like that right when I realized that I wasn't gonna talk my way out of it and that I was like getting like that then I'm like wow I want to smoke a cigarette no I'm just going raging and I remember I grabbed a chair I tried to throw it and at that point like these orderlies appeared like out of nowhere and they just grabbed me and slammed me down on this like stretcher deal and then they jabbed a needle in my butt cheek and immediately I took a nap whatever they had in that needle it was powerful as [ __ ] because well it went in my butt and like I've been researching like tranquilizer darts and they told me that it would take 20-30 minutes they put something in my ass that out now and then I woke up in the part of the hospital where the doors don't open no matter what you know and Plus on top of that they had um there wasn't the this was at cedars-sinai hospital in LA and they got the like the east and the west wing like I think if you're on the East Wing you're the sort of standard issue like run-of-the-mill harmful to yourself or others but if you're on the west wing you're like in something else category you know like the the extra like high security or whatever and so they had me on the west wing and because of my behavior they changed me to 50 to 50 which is not just three days it's two weeks oh well two week yeah yeah two weeks man plus that [ __ ] runs expensive too yo we had well well and being doctors I think my my treatment my rehab I think came to about 300 grand and listen to what I'm thinking today what what was going on with me back then I was so [ __ ] nuts yeah I would never dare do that now before I was just [ __ ] nuts yeah yeah that's right end up now so I'm in and thank God they changed me to the two weeks because if there was no if I was only in there for three days I would you know I would've gone straight the drug dealer like I think it was like gay for what both you guys like what what drugs were you using at those times in your lives cocaine marijuana lot of alcohol alcohol the story but in 2005 this is the first time I met Mike where we were at some kind of nightclub and I was just so stoked to the [ __ ] Mike Tyson no way so red and and and everyone was going from the nightclub to this house party and so uh you know I found out where it was and I was like I wasn't invited but just like [ __ ] I'm just gonna show up and I was by myself and and I just like whatever I took a taxi show up this random house and I'm not invited and I'm like I want a party here you know and so I like ring the doorbell or whatever I bang on the door and and the door opens up and it's [ __ ] Mike himself who opened up the door no I don't know anybody here you know I don't even know Mike but uh but um I said I said hey man is it cool if I come in and Mike like it was like he's threw a punch it was like you threw a punch like past me you know like over my shoulder and lay through it like next to me past me and hooked it and then pulled brothers like locked me in the back of my head not not into the house get it here you know there's like this ghost punch and he hooked it around and pulled me in the house and we're in the house like not even a second Eddie says you got any coke like both pockets right I'd like for anyone you know an Eightball is like a fairly substantial amount of grams in my left pocket I recall having an iPod that had not even been touched and in my right pocket I had like an 8-ball that I'd been like halfway through at the end of the day it was it was roughly I think I don't think I'm exaggerating a lot I think I had about five grams of cocaine all right and so I'm like yeah I got a bunch so Mike and I we go and we go in this bathroom in the house right we just [ __ ] lock ourselves in this bathroom and we were in there for life easy that was a friend of mine oh yeah it was we were in there for like [ __ ] three hours just talking talking I'll never forget when the gone and here's the craziest thing is the like I was a cigarette smoker at the time I had I smoked Newports Mike Mike asked me for a cigarette in this bathroom like right when we first go in there let me get a cigarette right I couldn't believe this he takes the cigarette in his you know Newports degree he rolls it between his fingers he gotta explain this to me Mike because I could I still don't understand it he rolls it in his fingers back and forth so that the tobacco falls out on the bathroom counter right like and he keeps he keeps doing it rolls backwards so he gets done with it now like there's the brown filter on the end and the cigarette paper is empty it's just like a cylinder like an empty to a cigarette paper so then he turns it right-side up you've got a whole pile of powder cocaine on the on the bathroom counter and crush push it all up real fine powder and Mike's like scooping it in with like a driver's license credit cards just scooping it in and pouring the powder into the tube the cylinder of cigarette paper right no tobacco mixed in it's just he's just dumping in just pure cocaine nothing but cocaine to fill this cigarette and I'm looking at him I'm so fascinated I'm looking at I'm thinking I'm thinking that just can't work like just logistically like that can't [ __ ] work that way you know I like the cocaine the cigarette paper has to burn away faster than the cocaine right like you can't just have solid cocaine with like cigarette paper wrapped around it and expected to smoke and I'm watching him do this and I'm just thinking like this is the most fascinating like [ __ ] drug addict science fair experience and sure enough he got it to work I mean and dude did you pull the filter out yeah well the filter out and he's just like like cradling it and like he smoked it now I was like a little bit weirded out by the idea of smoking coke so I was just snorting it Mike finishes his his cigarette contraption and then like he gets done with it and he makes another I'm so fascinated right I just keep giving up I started care I just let Mike have it I'm like dude I was I was so the experience is so incredible and been like mind you smoking house cooking we're locked in like a small bathroom like it is so dense the smoke in the air like no crack house could possibly be that [ __ ] up of like air quality as far as just being in a cloud of [ __ ] cooking smoke and we're having this great conversation and Mike smoking this this coke smoke after coke smoke and like for probably like three hours and then we went through junkies man and then and then when we were done with like five [ __ ] grams of cocaine like three hours later like and then and now because there's no more cocaine it's time for Steve where to go he was you know Stevo everybody's got you wrong you're Mike Tyson just told me that I'm smart like like we're both like a lot [ __ ] smarter than anybody would ever imagine I think that's fair to say you're both dude yeah yeah talk about it you know saying bro yeah so what you know I mean [ __ ] man I was in I think middle school when jackass came on and the courage of you guys was just - Matthew those guys I mean you know like my generations Evel Knievel's you know just some skater kids who grabbed the camera and [ __ ] started doing all kinds of wild daredevil [ __ ] let's mark that I mean it my story is pretty simple man like from birth I was just uh an attention [ __ ] on steroids I mean is where it wasn't and I mean you don't have to be Sigmund Freud to look at like how I grew up and the you know my alcoholic mom my dad who is never home who was a corporate executive like I mean it was insane my upbringing like I was born in England and uh when I moved to Brazil my family major Brazil when I was only six months old because dad my father he became the president of Pepsi Cola in all of Brazil the entire country and said dad was like a [ __ ] baller ass [ __ ] and I'm a six-month-old baby and dad's going off right like they're living the life in Rio de Janeiro you know I like and and they got living maids like my mom or my dad didn't [ __ ] pay attention to me they were party and they were on top of the world and and I spoke my very first words in Portuguese because I was raised by the live-in maids he's like I don't want to see servants but yeah like live-in maids taught me how to speak my first words and you know mom was drunk and dad was never there and so like like that's probably got something to do with why I became such an attention [ __ ] and we kept moving all the time we never stayed anywhere for more than a couple years I grew up in five different countries well and yes so whatever I'm not gonna tension to ever be I wasn't I wasn't ever like a bad kid I was like I was a good kid but I was definitely gonna become an alcoholic drug addict there's no way around that and mmm you know like like I was I was skateboarding said think about the thing about alcoholism and and maybe Mike could relate to this because I think a lot a lot of people you know it's a consensus and among alcoholics is that there's this feeling of like discomfort like you're not you're not comfortable in your own skin you know you don't feel like I don't know like everybody else has it figured out but there's just something you have a low self worth of yourself yeah right there's something defective about me there's something I just do I don't fit in I'm not comfortable in my own skin I don't know there's something wrong with me but I'm uncomfortable and I need something to help help soothe me you know like when I was fifteen I was a pretty good kid I got B's and C's and I was skateboarder made videos I wasn't that [ __ ] good at skateboarding but I loved making videos and and when I graduated high school which I barely graduated high school what were those videos then it was skateboarding skateboard like half-ass skateboarding with the blowing off some stairs right I mean it wasn't bad but it was it wasn't gonna be like a career and and there was a little bit of funny stuff mixed in but so I graduated from high school barely and then I went to the University of Miami now I'm at the University of Miami less than two weeks hurricanes uh-huh hurricanes in less than two weeks after classes started my freshman year I was already on final disciplinary probation yeah uh-huh in the dorms and then I got kicked out of the dorms and I failed out of the front of my classes and I just dropped out I just gave up so now I'm on my way you know I'm on my way out of the University of Miami and this is 1993 you know I was a long [ __ ] time ago and people are like what are you gonna do now I'm like I just turned 19 years old and they're like what are you gonna do now you [ __ ] up and I'm like oh I'll be cool I'm gonna I'm gonna become a famous stunt man I'm a videotape [ __ ] crazy here with my I'm gonna videotape crazy [ __ ] with my video camera and I'm gonna become a famous stunt man and everyone's gonna think I'm rad and like everybody I told this to they just thought what a shame what a [ __ ] tragedy this guy of what a [ __ ] loser that everyone just felt bad for me and I don't know that I believe that would be successful with that but but I had no other option because I had proven time and time again I've proven that anytime I tried to get a job I got fired I got fired from every [ __ ] job I ever had and I I couldn't bring couldn't go to class I couldn't read a book I couldn't do [ __ ] that I don't want to do the only thing I wanted to do is make dumb videos and I knew I wasn't that good at skateboarding something like I just can't be crazy there's gonna do the crazy [ __ ] and I and I can't thought that I would just fail I didn't think I was gonna succeed you know I felt like okay I'm gonna I don't have the survival skills man I can't keep a job I can't earn my way I'm gonna die a failure but I'm thinking to myself before I die a failure I want to get a ton of video footage cuz I'm like oh I'll be gone but that video will still play so I'll still be alive if you came my religion man like girl like I'm going to live like we're all gonna die but I want to live forever you know this is I want to live forever I never gave a [ __ ] about money I wanted like like attention and I wanted attention for eternity a big word yeah I didn't think I would be discovered or successful I thought I thought I'm gonna be dead and I'll be like the van Gogh of dipsh it's like maybe I'll get discovered after I let me feel now well now different now like now like you know we do we get older people don't give us much of a [ __ ] about us anymore I think they'll always care about you but uh but you know like it's it's getting older scary you're gonna change your priorities you know and not my priorities like what I want to do is buy land and open up an animal sanctuary no I want to have that be my legacy well it's [ __ ] awesome dude I mean it's great to have you here my way what a treat man well by the way I mean you you made this you had this idea I'm gonna be the [ __ ] world's most famous [ __ ] man but that was unprecedented at the time there wasn't any YouTube or Internet videos [ __ ] going on the way that I came up was by spending money that I didn't even have to spend on VHS tapes and recording back and forth between two VCRs to make my edits and then taking the physical VHS tape this cassette videotape and then going to the the post office with money I couldn't afford to spend to ship these [ __ ] tapes to anybody I thought would watch them who might be able to help me and it was all people in the skateboard industry and I did I didn't get anywhere for I didn't get anywhere for like I don't know I was homeless for three years Wow I was homeless for three years and when I say homeless that was more of a couch surfer a homeless person and a couch that's a homeless about my couch surfer when you've got people skills and and personality if you're a likeable guy you know people let you sleep on their sofa until you pee on it which I always would because that's the thing if you drink enough you gotta [ __ ] pee in your sleep learned that time and time again when I was drinking the hazard of it yeah I know nobody likes that either so I three years in and I found out about Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College ooh yeah I was living with my sister at the time she found out about it yeah Florida isn't stereo sort of Florida yeah and this was in 1997 my sister had me living in her house and I'm just a [ __ ] [ __ ] and I'm eating all our food and I'm everything's a mess and she's like what am I so she was working at a newspaper and and and when she was taking a [ __ ] at work and and on the toilet was this book of trivia like trivia questions so she's taking a [ __ ] in and she gets this question that she reads it it says what's the only college that has no tuition you can just go for free and it said Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College if you can get in then it's free because they want equal opportunity for people to run away with the circus you know and and it was a big tax write-off for the for the circus and it was prestigious it was statistically harder to get into Clown College than Harvard well you had you had to audition to even get an application and get an audition for the chance to apply and stop my sister I'm gonna get into this thing and I was laying in my own vomit at my buddy's house I've I come in I'm so hungover I'm hurting so bad and I see this you know this this thing with this audition schedule and and a headline like 97 and I loved where we lived in Albuquerque New Mexico and and I look down in 97 and Albuquerque was on there but but Bulow's for 98 I said I don't worry about that you know because everywhere the circus went mm-hmm and and so I saw 90 and I'm like ah that's not till next year so I'm like I'm like you know like [ __ ] my sister and it comes out to me she says how are you getting to Denver by Monday I think she wanted me out like like Clown College seemed like a great opportunity for me because I wanted to be this famous stunt what did you learn there yeah the only thing you had to learn was still walking like still walking alone that there was a very so many different we trained 14 hours a day and then you had to learn how to do your makeup well do you know I mean she was training and I didn't give that much of a [ __ ] about being a clown I just wanted to become this crazy famous stuntman and I thought if I could graduate from this prestigious you know Ringling Brothers clown College with it's so hard to get into then like when I'm trying to become a famous stunt man I'll have like some legitimacy where the be like it's like yo I'm a trained circus professional you know like I'm the [ __ ] you've heard of the circus and I'm like like legit and so I went there to try to further my goal of becoming a stuntman and and at work at the same time people I was been sending my stunt videos to there was a skateboard magazine and the guy running the magazine became the creator and the director of Jackass oh and so it just kind of fell in my lap like they started putting me in their magazine and in their videos and then their videos turned into jackass when do they start paying you oh my god that's the best question I came the first season of Jackass I found it in five days in the summer of year 2000 and I'd been working in a circus and when I got fired in the five days like the first thing I did I was picked up the goldfish I took the elephant food that I died took like like 50 gallon 50 gallon 50 gallon tubs of elephant poo from the elephants in the circus and I just three of them thought I felt a kiddie pool did the back flip up the ladder and the elephant poo diving the pick up the goldfish we stapled the Jackass letters across my butt cheeks I did the shark hugs I got bitten by a shark I had that bum fishing I didn't film the whole first season in a slit a week and five days I filmed everything all my parts for the whole first season in five days and and my pay rate Mike my pay rate was theirs it wasn't per episode it was per bit and if the bit was legitimately like dangerous like life and limb you know you could get really [ __ ] up then I got 500 and if the bit was like if the bit was like a little sort of gag like kind of street prank and it was easy and it wasn't dangerous 200 all right so a so not at the end of the five days I'm sitting there don't tell me it's all about the Jersey Shore people are like a million in episodes but so the the end of the five days I'm sitting I got my finger all bandaged up cuz check it out I got cool and scars from the shark bite hell yeah dude yeah and some I'll beat up and hungover and like I wasn't even that worried about how much money like I was earned what I wanted to do I was writing down for the further for the director for everybody on the production yeah this is what I expect to see on TV you know like don't don't forget to include this in the show you know I wrote down like a list of everything and I first I brought down goldfish right and I'm thinking go ahead and write the price of what they owe me next to each better something in a goldfish right now if you you could when you could choke on the goldfish right it could [ __ ] turn around and as it comes up like it to go on the scales the wrong way it could trash your [ __ ] you know there's a lot that could go wrong swallow your goldfish right but I'm thinking to myself I want these people to know how [ __ ] badass I am I want them to know how gnarly I am I'm [ __ ] but I brought down goldfish and then next to it I wrote 200 I had too much pride to say I considered that dangerous 200 and at the end of the day after taxes I want to say I made less than 1500 bucks for the first year oh man and then and then and then when that when the [ __ ] and when they when the shake came out the first season came out by the time the third episode aired which is exactly two weeks into the run it was officially the highest rated show in the history of MTV I mean it's not it wasn't higher ratings than the VM or anything but for like a half-hour standard format of programming the profit margin and the ratings or unprecedented it was it was by far the most profitable highest-rated [ __ ] communist Eve when did you become happy from them paying you what did that day ever happen I was happier without money I feel like for some reason no [ __ ] way to be paid for your service I understand that man like I understand that and yeah you know there are a lot of us too you know there are a lot of us who split it up I'll tell you what the next step was so it's the highest rated show in the history of MTV and I get the call to let me know that and my contract wasn't had no options or anything it was like start from scratch you know new contract so the producer calls me up and he says hey we're a hit he says Senesh so MTV wants the first season was eight episodes he says MTV wants 16 more episodes so there's so they're ordering seasons two and three in one go 16 more episodes and he says and we know we're gonna have to pay you so we're gonna give you two grand per episode and in my head on the phone the phone calls were thinking and yeah I'm thinking to myself 16 episodes times 2 that's $32,000 I'm [ __ ] rich like here's to be completely honest I think that my attitude about money and and how I started out in my career with business stuff like it's it's it's [ __ ] up but but the truth is looking at my parents growing up like my dad was a baller my dad went on to become the president of Nabisco well like he was the president he was like a hotshot CEO and from like when I was in high school my dad was chauffeur driven to work and if and if I overslept at all if I'm running late in the morning and I didn't have time to ride my skateboard to school or ride my bike to school I would have to ride with dad and catch a ride with his chauffeur and that [ __ ] embarrassed me as a kid growing up as a kid growing up like my mom's drinking got so out of hand that my sisters couldn't take it she went to boarding school and like and dad became more and more successful and more and more like rich and so so the dynamic for me as a kid growing up was that my family got smaller and the house got bigger and I was like I was embarrassed of how [ __ ] obnoxiously big our house was and I was I remember going to my dad when Dad was like running Delmonte the the canned fruit company like he'd took the family to ta'kenya were there than the main pineapple factory because he's got to like you know show up and like you know maybe you know just do would've show up and do whatever yes he planned it on the like this week in February when we had spring break you know again I was in England and so like we'd spring break and this is when I was like like 11 or 12 fifth or sixth grade so I went back and forth to England any case we go to Kenny on our spring break he brings the whole family and remember when we into Nairobi this is how I remember it dad says it's different but I know this [ __ ] [ __ ] like today the only thing we disagree on is the car we come into that out of the airport in Nairobi which is in Kenya just poverty man like people with like no shoes and like your tattered clothes and there's flies all over and they're like begging you and they assure us like the family end of this like limousine you know and like like open up the you know the guests just get us into this car and the car sitting there and I'm inside the car and these poor people are like scratching at the windows you know they're like they're like begging please help us please never seen that before yeah and I'm sitting there in this car looking at this poverty I'd never seen poverty like that but I remember thinking to myself what the [ __ ] have I ever done to deserve to be in the car instead of scratching at the car like wow I'm a [ __ ] I knew damn well I have [ __ ] up everything I never had a good report card you don't like in high school I did a little better with you know for a while but I just was a problem man it was like always a [ __ ] problems I was always in trouble I was a [ __ ] and and I just felt I felt ashamed man I felt ashamed of like what did I do to be in this car you know and I felt ashamed of the house that was so big and I didn't want kids from school to see me get out of a [ __ ] chauffeur-driven car like I would ride I would ride like shotgun with my dad's reading the newspaper in the backseat shotgun and hug the driver you know I like to pretend that the driver was my dad no a lot of this a lot of this attitude about about that like like it I just saw that my parents and I feel bad saying it but I'm just saying it because it's the truth both of my parents I feel like I just saw them like blatantly think that they were better because they had money you know like I saw them like just think they were they were better you know I saw that whenever they had friends over to the house that it was just like a big pissing match of like oh my kids going to this school and it's better than you know it's just like this is this competition and I didn't like it I felt that my parents were like corroded by wealth I felt like you know it was like honestly the feeling in my in my growing up was like Daddy rate raised religious it was like the honest answer is now I wasn't raised religious like my parents felt that they had enough money why would they need religion so so I took that kind of mindset to in my life yeah and I could have done been a more aggressive businessman but I never gave a [ __ ] about money Europe and never also when we were in Kenya we would simply show up at this pineapple factory this is the craziest part show up this cop i nap on factory and like it's so hot and [ __ ] sweaty and and like all the workers have like flies all over them and I'm like I turn to my dad I said I said dad how can you let like you're the boss dad here's a [ __ ] boss how can you let people work in in these conditions like this this is [ __ ] up you know however it and dad dad says he goes he says well the list of people who have jobs in this pineapple factory is nowhere near as long as the list of people who are waiting for jobs in this pineapple factory so if anybody doesn't like it here they can get the hell out and be replaced by someone who will work harder and I remember thinking [ __ ] my dad's a dick right and then fast forward to when we were filming the Jackass TV show when we were in the middle of that run of the seasons two and three where I'm getting the two grand per episode and and our cameraman he was always on the show - Rick Rick goes up to the director one day and he says he says yo I just I just spent like like however many hours it was like twelve twelve hours in one day like busting my ass filming a [ __ ] like a national like worldwide like hit TV show and I made less money then if I shot a [ __ ] half a page photo let's add four for this [ __ ] skate magazine we used to make like how does that make sense like I shoot a [ __ ] photo for a piece of [ __ ] skateboard magazine make more than I do making this [ __ ] hit TV show how does that make for their balls off how does that make sense so Jeff looks at Ricky goes then go shoot a skate ad like you'll be replaced by someone who [ __ ] work harder and thinking myself damn so it's not that my dad was a dick it's this that's how the [ __ ] world works yeah [ __ ] so it's like the only way to like get to get up the only way to come up is to make it so that you can't be replaced by someone who work hard you need to make yourself work for yourself you need to be irreplaceable yeah you need to make it you need to like you need to have like to have to control you no one can take your place yeah no doubt man and and no one can take my [ __ ] place and no I can take Mike's place yeah but like so what I'm gonna do now you know like it's getting to a point where it's like I doing okay it's like Joyce yeah don't do it don't do it like how much how much longer do I do this [ __ ] you know and it's like I gotta think like what like okay I either stop or I gotta go big like one last [ __ ] go for it I got got one and and I had this idea a list of ideas that aren't like particularly new ideas I had that happen forever but they were so far there was there's just that list of ideas that was just too [ __ ] up to go for it ya know and so I call it my bucket list right I call it my bucket list and and like yeah there's nothing on my bucket list that didn't happen for so long for like no reason there's like a solid [ __ ] reason why this [ __ ] should never happen and now I'm just going for it because I feel like I've got a limited amount of time I'll give you an example of like something on my list to show you how ridiculous it is like anytime anybody ever asked me if I've been skydiving before I always said [ __ ] that - everybody does that what am I gonna do something everybody does I do [ __ ] nobody does so I said years ago probably fifteen years ago I said if I ever go skydiving my first time you know you gotta have a dude strapped on your back like a tandem skydive instructor well I'm gonna be [ __ ] butt ass naked and I'm gonna be and I'm gonna be [ __ ] furiously jacking off and I will not Lord for a long time like four days and then when I'm whacking it when I'm whacking in I reached the point of no return right around the first squirt that's when I leave the plane so I'm free-falling through the [ __ ] sky cranking out the biggest load you ever saw and I called the idea of skyjacking right and that's like everything on my list is taken to the next level and like I shouldn't say this but I'm legitimately concerned that I'm not leaving myself anywhere to go with that [ __ ] so I'm so like I'm savoring every minute of every day and every minute of every show Wow well I'm I haven't even peaked yet but and this bucket list show dude there's like all over the venues you got to be like 21 to enter and there's like legal waivers like by entering this room you acknowledge that like that you essentially can't sue over like I got [ __ ] I have people like in in almost every city I've gone to on this tour there's been like at least one dude passed the [ __ ] out straight-up fainted in the crowd just from the footage because my act like my new the bucket list tour it's a stand-up comedy act right and go through those I go through the whole list right and tell the story about every out [ __ ] outrage and then after each bit I screen the [ __ ] chin so you see it you see it on the screen and the theater and you can't see it I mean where but on this tour and so I get making the whole bucket list a series right now right now to to her and then later when I'm done with the tour I'll put the series out holy so how much they gonna pay you for that uh your brother no money man yeah I know man the money's on the table I haven't done the deal yet well thank you so much very much you guys I was so thrilled man and I like to consider myself a pretty dope podcast guest man I'll tell you that our jackass family has always been like like almost like worship Mike Tyson you know it was always like such a goal to uh to film with Mike like on the first movie the very first movie they had the thing where they put the Valentine like it was like a Valentine I'm in the wall and it was like you know it was supposed to be from like groupies like yeah the words got smaller and smaller so your face had to get circles than the fist Cantor that idea was written for Mike he's supposed to be were hoping Mike would be it was supposed to be Mike on the other side of the wall oh no I don't know you know what it was is that that Mike Mike wasn't in maybe a good place at that time yeah man has 4d right like I know we should wrap it up but buddy here's that for me like we used to play the black eye game and and and when when when Mike showed up and we were in the psych ward together this was my second side chord and and and and I'm stint on Mike I'm like hey Mike dude I got this idea on a film with you I just need you to hold your fists out and let me run into it with my face yeah and and it was just a straight-up bad time to try to pitch my god Mike wasn't in the psych ward because he's having guns dude he wasn't doing like and what a sweet guy mike says mike says i don't want to hurt you steve and but then when the Charlie Sheen Rose we did make it happen let me

This popped up on my youtube feed, so I gave it a listen on a long drive last night. Definitely entertaining if you haven't seen Steve O on a podcast before, but if you are looking to laugh or for anything deep this ain't it. Basically Steve O going over some Tyson related stories and recapping his younger years, which I found interesting but have heard before. Tyson basically doesn't talk at all.
