Eric and prankster/comedian Steve-O (Jackass Forever) talk about the infamous story involving the Wu-Tang Clan at a music festival, including clean backflips, tucking in genitals and rightfully getting dragged by Raekwon on stage. Discussions include drugs and drinking problems on the set of Jackass, his early stages of doing stand-up, Laugh Factory stories, and one that involves catastrophically bombing on stage with a joke about Steve Irwin right after his passing. Plus, talking about being beaten up on stage, which eventually became a group fight among Calgary locals, and being interrogated by Canadian police about the incident years later. Of course, the discussion goes to stapling your balls. Keep setting the bar high!

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Bombing Balming with Eric and Anddred.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Do you have a fun way that you start?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
No, I kind of like starting without even Oh you
want to bomb in circumstance.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
And we are bad.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Back from what where were we?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
So?
Speaker 5 (01:12):
How many episodes of this have you done?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I think we're like at the halfway, but a little
more than half.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
So you're you're on the podcast bandwagon.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I love talking to comedians and musicians and performers about
their worst bomb like hearing the worst stories because everyone
has them, no matter who you could be whatever. Madonna
has bombing stories, you know what I mean. Prince opened
up for the Rolling Stones in the late seventies early
eighties and people threw bottles at him, you know what
(01:41):
I mean. So everybody has a great bombing story, and
it's like that brings it brings me so much joy,
doesn't feel like work.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I can can vouch for the veracity of that sentiment
because of how tickled you were by my Wu Tang
sty fucking.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I mean, it's kind of can we repeat it on you?
Can we get peopled?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, yeah, Because I heard that story from like another comedian,
then I heard it from you. Then I like that story,
like I've heard through different I almost brought it up.
I saw Ghost Face in Raekwon at south By Southwest
like five years ago, and I was like so like
it was the first time I ever saw him live
and everything. Well, actually I saw Wu Tang live, but
I never saw just them live. And I almost brought it.
(02:27):
It was like, in the back of my.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Mind, I don't think anybody would have been particularly offended
to have brought it up. I know that that that
I on my podcast, I spoke to method Man about
we had Method Man one, we had one, and I
repeatedly requested taber Ekuan on and he politely different, do.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You want to tell me?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
It's one of those stories that at this point I
wonder if everybody doesn't just already know it. But the
the year was two thousand and six. I believe it
was during the summer before Jackass number two came out.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Jermaine told me this.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
He goes, when Jackass one came out, we didn't really
know if we were ever going to have a job again.
And then when jacksone was so successful, he goes, watch
Jackass two again. Everybody wants to die. He goes, they're
going so hard. You guys are going so hard for
two that he was like, everyone was like near death.
Every stunt and prank is something like that. So he's like,
(03:33):
for the energy going into Jackass two, he said, was insane.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Jackass number two was the heyday, man, it was the heyday.
We were like it wasn't like, oh, these guys are
like too old, it's creepy. Like we were still kind
of under the bar for our age. Like the substance
abuse hadn't really reared its ugly head and turned on us.
(03:57):
Yet everything just worked. It was like there was a
mad expel cast over that movie. Yeah, everything just works fantastically. Well,
I'm guessing that at the time of this Wu Tang incident,
we had wrapped filming for Jackass number two, so Just's
morale was really high, like confidence was through the roof.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
The I hadn hadn't come out.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Yet, correct, got it correct. I had a relationship with
Method Man because we had him on Wild Boys.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Right, you already burned the little South African hut down
to the ground at that point.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Yeah, we burned the three cabins down to the ground
at the resort in South Africa while filming the pilot
for Wild Boys. I thought that the Wild Boys would
never come out and that we would just be mired
in lawsuits, completely broke for the rest of our lives
and canceled and and none of that happened. So with
(05:01):
Method and there was another incident where it wasn't an incident.
It was a cool thing. I met up with method
Man in I think two thousand and five, and like
he was in town for the BET Awards, and there's
something like I wanted to film with them, like for
(05:23):
this project I was working on. He agreed to come
have me over to his hotel. In his hotel room,
he lit up one threw it across the room and
I caught it in my mouth, but I caught it backwards,
so it burned my lip. And then we were laughing
about how it looked like I had herpes. But when
I showed up at that hotel, Dave Chappelle was outside,
(05:49):
you know. And I met Dave Chappelle and I said,
I told him, man, I think my life might be
in danger because I went into the G Unit studios
and I took on all their beef and and and
I was hurling insults and threats and like really saying
awful things about scary gangster rapper people. And then I
(06:09):
did didn't take it even further, and and uh, and
Dave Chappelle said, oh no, he said, no, Uh, you're
you're you're jackass man, You're Steve. You got diplomatic community.
And I love that. I've always loved that so much.
I've got diplomatic community, but he's I had a relationship
(06:30):
with with with with with method Man and the festival.
It was called Rock the Bells. Wu Tang was headlining it.
Cypress Hill played it. There was like there was really
like a lot of paloso of hippop. I showed up.
I'm drinking all day. I'm just Beligerante vodka, Red Bull.
(06:55):
I want to say it was my go to. Yeah.
So so I'm like, I'm all excited, you know. I'm
They're gonna have part a portion of the show where
they pay respect to old dirty bastard, and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Around that time.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
He died in two thousand and four.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Right right, right, right, so it's fresh, the wounds are fresh, right.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
And I had just I'd been doing backflips for the
longest time, but I had just combined two of my
trademark tricks, one being the standing backflip, the other being
called it was called a double back, where I would
flip aggressively flip my wiener and my ball sack back
(07:41):
and forth violently and back and forth and back and forth,
and then on the backswing, I would jump up part
my legs and then clamp it so I would with
no hands. I would thrust myself into a mangina position
fully talked like like buffalo bill from silence to the lambs,
and then once in the mangina, position fully tucked, then
(08:03):
I would do a backflip. It was called a double
back backflip. The reason I was called a double back
because you had both your wiener and your balls in
the back. Yeah, also known as a back burger. So
it was a big deal too because the first time
I ever did a standing back flip with myself tucked, like,
(08:26):
there's a legitimate fear that I might just rip my
drunk off right, you know. But but I got away
here that I pulled it, and and I just had
this new trick in my back pocket. So I'm like, okay,
well this is great. During the Wu Tang performance, I'm
gonna get totally naked and flip my balls and wiener
back and forth, catch it in a vanagina, and this
is gonna be like a great way.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Did you did they have you? Were they like, Steve, O,
You're gonna come out during Wu Tang at a specific
time or did you just make this up in your
head and you were like, I'm gonna like just bomb
the stage and just it was.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
It wasn't a bomb the stage situation. And they had
people just all over the stage the whole time. It
was crazy. But there was a distinct point in the
show where it was like the tribute to ODB part
they had Odb's mom on the stage.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
It was sentimental part yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
And it was it was orchestrated to a point. It
was understood that I would be there. So when it happens,
medod Man like hands me the microphone and I go
on this drunken diet tribe about how I was locked
up in the Twin Tower jail in protective custody and
they said I was in Odb's cell, so so I
(09:37):
was practically cellmates with ob and I'm going to honor
and respect him, and and uh and and I get naked,
I do my trick as planned, and it was arguably
the cleanest, yeah, the most well executed double back back
flip of my life.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
And it was tough to to really execute one perfectly
because you know, when you're talked like that, you can't
quite you know. It's a little bit like trying to
do a backflip with your hands behind your back.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
But but I pulled it. I pulled it well. And
then they went into shimmy yawn. It's like everyone's yeah,
everyone's great vibes. And I think it was about halfway
through where ray Kwon finally like it bothering to much,
just stopped everything on stage on stage. Yeah, I'm bumping,
(10:29):
I'm bouncing. I just feel like I just you know,
I'm like the best moment ever. And then it's like
the needle scrap, you know, like whoa, everything stops. Raycorn
grabs me by my neck, grabs me by my neck
and like just drags me to the front of the
(10:49):
stage by my neck. And he's like, you apologize, oh
my neck?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
You out.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I did the crowd thing. You guys were doing a
sketch or something.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
It was pretty evident that that was not a sketch,
and it was I apologized quickly and previously really yeah,
and I did even qualified said, I said, I meant
in no disrespect. I'm here because I love O D B.
He said, Now You're gonna apologize to B's mom too,
Like I'm not good enough. Now you gotta apologize to
(11:33):
miss Cherry, and I apologize to Miss Cherry, and then
I was told that it would be best if I left.
It was that they made it very clear that I
was not safe, that.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
You had no diplomatic community.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Yeah, yeah, he did. But one could categorize that whole
performance I a bomb.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yes, yeah, I mean in a way though you did
the best double back backflip, that's true, it's not a bomb.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
That was a great success.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
And I've never, to my knowledge, encountered Ray Kuan ever
since then.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
But he died shortly after that.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I think I think it's well understood that, you know,
I take no pleasure in having offended him, or you know,
like I just don't.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I think it's about intention and all the karmic value
of your actions is defined by intent, right, So I
think you genuinely meant that there's a tribute and you
genuinely loved ODB. I did, but maybe in the eye
of the beholder that is rick one, right, he didn't
view it the same way.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Yeah, And and method Man. Method Man went on, so
he said, you know, but I didn't really think consider
with like with his mom there, and you know, it's.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
A touchy especially with the mom's Yeah, it's a hard
thing to right.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I mean, in hindsight, yeah, I was wrong.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
It might not be a right versus wrong kind of thing.
It might be like a It was like every country
has its own customs and way of a way of grieving.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Yeah, and and pretty much every country has a problem
with illegal narcotics.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
With a recadre, with a recadre, what's the worst bomb?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And it can you can include not just stand up,
but jackass live even circus days like early ringing.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Rights kind of getting into stand up. It was that
same summer, the first time. Yeah, that that that's that
same summer I was asked to perform a stunt at
the Laugh Factory, the world famous laugh Factory on the
(14:09):
Sunset Strip right in West Hollywood, and I agreed to
show up. But I did show up, but I didn't
give any thought as to what my stunt in this
comedy club would be. I showed up. I was, of
course loaded. I was always loaded. And when I was.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Those days, would you get wasted every day or just
just a weekend warrior?
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Oh god, no, every day.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
But Monday, Monday, Tuesday, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Yeah, for sure, I did. It was it was a
period when I was not. I was abstaining from cocaine.
I got cocaine had presented as an issue, and I remember.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
What was the issue.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Yeah, the issue was that that I lived my life
awake for two to three days. It was like it
it was like three days on, one day off, then
three days on one day off in this.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Like no sleep correct, Wow, yeah, sustainable?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Well no, I did sustain it for years.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
And uh, you live like that for years of like
creeping only like pretty much sleeping only a couple of
nights out of the week.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
It was.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Really gnarly and uh. And and whenever something that that
I was really obligated to do would land at an
unfortunate time when it was cocaine off, when I was hibernating,
So the cocaine schedule came first, and then everything I
had to link into the cocaine schedule. That that's when
(15:46):
I really knew I had a problem. When it was like, oh,
you know, somebody's getting married or like there's something that
I really really have to be there, and I would think, man,
I hope that doesn't you.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Know land hibernation day.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yeah, yeah, And and the way that I would meet
my obligations would just be to do more more drugs,
you know, like there's no such thing as like, oh
I better. You know, there's no such thing as a
truncating a bender, but there was absolutely such a thing
(16:23):
as extending the bender, right, And I was very professional
in that regard. Yeah, so I wouldn't like I really
never didn't show up for professional obligations or anything really
important for that matter. I just could not speak to
(16:44):
what shape I would be and what it did show up.
But when we went into filming Jackass number two, recognizing
that that really was a problem and that I was
showing up, and you know, it started to feel like
Boogie Knights when when Mark Wahlberg shows up and he's ready,
(17:07):
he's ready, he's ready to and and Jeff Tremaine did
take on that that Burt Reynolds role of like I'm
not shooting you in this condition, but I'm right now,
you know, like and and and and that that whole
Boogie Knight's dynamic of me being on drugs was was problematic.
And going into filming jack As number two, I pledged
(17:30):
that I'm for the whole filming of Jackets number two,
that I was not going to do cocaine and I
somehow honored that. Really, I mean I went, yes, that
and that that was the problem is that, Uh, the
problem was that because I didn't have the cocaine, I
(17:51):
just got so much drunker and and and and and
I started presenting as an angry drunk.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
No.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, like a there the balance of the cocaine, right,
the whole.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Balance of the balance went out the window. And I
was and and uh I would This was when I
was getting into rapping too, So like if I had
like a new rap song, you know, it would be
like every everybody come to my room and listen to
my rap. But if anybody like said anything while I
was trying to play my rap song that I would
(18:25):
just throw a gnarly timber tangent or throw them out,
like like women, I would bring women back to the
hotel room. But if they tiptoed out of line and
got out, Yeah, people could hear me throwing chicks out
of my room from uh from like far down the hall.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
That was better than the cocaine version of you.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
That seems like right like there was no good version. Yeah,
there was no good version, but I made it for
I believe over a year without doing any cocaine. And
and this this first time at the Lab Factory. It
was during that period. So I walked into the comedy
(19:05):
club and just kind of looked around and saw the
person performing stand up on stage. I don't know that
I'd ever even been to a comedy club before that,
and I thought it just it struck me that there's
no crazier stunt that I could possibly perform than to
get on that stage and try doing stand up like
that just terrible. That was like nothing could be scarier.
(19:29):
And I was like, oh, man, I'm gnarly. Man, I'm crazy.
I'm gonna do that, man. And you know the way
that it works at the Lab Factory, everybody does like
a ten or fifteen minute said, and I'm like way
down the list. So I've shown up and now I'm
just sitting around waiting for my turn. And as I'm waiting,
I'm thinking, I'm like, oh my god, it's just I'm
(19:49):
gripped by fear. I'm like, oh my god, Like if
I'm just going to try and say something to make
people laugh, like what am I going to say?
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Like?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
And I came up with a joke, yeah, only one
and know when it was my turn. I got on stage.
I said, I said, hey, everybody, I am in the
mood for a blowjob. Does anybody want one? And that
was and I got a laugh, you know, it was
it was it was great man, And and my overall
(20:19):
sense was that when they introduced me, people knew who
it was. They were excited to see me, and they
were there to have a good time. They were excited
to see me, and they were rooting for me. They did,
let's everybody wants to have a good time. So like
the energy was was was in my favor.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It was on my side.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Now, that energy will turn very quickly if you don't
deliver them entertainment. But I but I got that first laugh,
and then I basically just got I got out of there.
Could not have been on that stage.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
For more than three minutes the other night.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Get the hell out of there. You know, excitement, cool,
one laugh and gone. And it was such a favorable
experience that I before I left the building, I scheduled
my return, and before my return, I actually honkered down
with like a case of whippets and a huge bottle
(21:13):
of vodka, and I wrote out a set and I
wrote out like a ten minute set, and I had
bullet points. I was like, you know, sex, drugs, and
rock and roll. Then that was my thing. And it
was like and I framed it as how are you
going to how to make it in Hollywood? You know,
(21:35):
like how to make it in the entertainment industry? And
it was like, well, you gotta do drugs, like you
gotta have sex, you know, like and it was I
had like jokes built into it that that worked reasonably well.
I remember, like when I went to go perform this
ten minutes, I brought a videographer to film it. And
(22:00):
one of my biggest regrets in life was that, even
at that time, in the shape I was in, like
I regret the fact that I filmed that ten minute
performance put it on YouTube, and and I was like
that it's done. I put it out there, and then
(22:20):
I'm retiring that material.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Yeah yeah, because like I said, there were it went
reasonably well, and if I were to have kept working
on that material, it would have gone maybe a little.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Better the next time, Like I see, filmed it, I
just filmed developed. I didn't. I didn't develop it, and.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
You could you could go back and later.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Well, right, I mean it wasn't the time. But the
problem was that I got a lot of confidence on
that one because I prepared a little bit, and you know,
like I said, oh man, I'm good at this. Yeah, this,
So so I planned to go back a third time. Yeah,
And the third time I went back, I just felt
(23:10):
that I was good at it and and and like
I wasn't gonna retell any jokes, but I didn't write
any new ones. So when I went that third time,
I had that first experience with like really catastrophically bombing. There.
(23:31):
I was on stage and I just I seemed to
there was no video camera this time. I believe that
Steve Irwin had just passed away. I was like, oh, well,
I was trying to like riff on the passing of
Steve Irwin, which was particularly funny. You know. I just
(23:56):
I just didn't have anything, and it didn't go well.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Have you were bombed so hard that you got booed,
or anybody threw something at you.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Or fight on stage.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Or I was attacked one time while performing.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Way back in the day, somebody attacked you, Yes, just.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
For no reason. It was it was New Year's Eve
when two thousand and three turned into two thousand and four, Calgary,
and some guy just gone on stage and just sucker
punched me while I was performing for no reason, none
that I'm aware of.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Who did he get arrested? Did you fight?
Speaker 5 (24:37):
He got beaten up? He got beaten up by a
number of people. I think a number of people descended
on him and kind of beat him up and free
as he was, you know, kind of held down. Preston Lacy,
who was performing on stage with me, sort of grated
(25:01):
off his forehead with his microphone. One of those microphones
that's like with the metal mesh and it kind of
offerates like a cheese grater if you're really take into
someone's forehead. Yeah, I remember there was some grading going
on with the microphone, and there's some beating up going on.
(25:24):
And as they carried this guy off the stage, they
carried him kind of by arms and legs sort of,
you know, as they carried him by, I hauled off
and kicked him, you know, like leg It was. It
was a little extra that one. That kick was not necessary,
and and it actually made me the whole thing like
(25:47):
everybody was wrong, like to a point of criminal offense.
And we were made aware that the cops were coming
and the show was over. We just we ran.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
We ran from the Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
We got we got out of there. We ran away,
We got away. And then in twenty eleven, seven years later,
now I'm in Calgary again to perform stand up at
the Comedy Club in Calgary, and I'm on the morning
news to promote my comedy club appearances. And the morning
(26:27):
news anchor asked me, had I ever been to Calgary?
I said, yeah, I did. We beat up this guy.
Oh no, we ran from the cops and it was crazy.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
And then as I attempted to leave Calgary after that
weekend that it, showed my passport to the customs guy
and he said, oh, yeah, this is great. You're going
into this room. Yeah, going into this room. And I didn't.
(27:05):
I didn't put it all together. So I went into
the room and then these police came into the room
and they were like, oh, well, yeah, you've got this.
We found this Warren on you. You know, I drew
enough attention to it on the news that that I
was afforded the opportunity to make it right. And lucky
for Preston Lacey, he too was afforded the opportunity to
(27:29):
make he was not with me again, but he was
dragged into it because it all bubbled. Yeah, so present
Preston can can rest easy at night knowing that, knowing
that that we we.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
You provided an opportunity, makes right.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah it was great. Preston was profoundly great.
I'm yeah, but but but then that Yeah, yeah, I
spent like eleven hours.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
In a in a holding Fuck yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
I was in I was in a holding tank. And
I remember, I mean I got sober in two thousand
and eight, and this was twenty eleven. I was sober
for like three years. And I remember as I sat
in that sitting in that holding cell, like they were
parading you know, different other offenders back and forth, and
(28:30):
they were just guys that were just like covered in
blood and black like ever, there's one common denominator. Everybody
seemed to be highly intoxic. I remember sitting in that
cell for like eleven hours, and each person that was
paraded past my cell made me more grateful than the
last for my sobriety.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Yeah, with red red they're looking at me because I
have to God, I.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Could talk to you for we got to wrap it
up already.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Yeah, how about that well time flies. Man.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I love you, dude, I loved Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
I deeply love you.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Love you too, yeah, I say I'm in love with you.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
What are you?
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Check this out? Like now my tour like isn't like
all the chaos happening on stage. The bar is so
high now that like that I take care of like
the insand the bar has to keep going higher and higher.
So now it's like legitimately life threatening stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And I've got I've.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Just taped my my new comedy special for my show
of the bucket List, and like it is triple x rated,
like this whole tour, Like no kids allowed because that's
illegal because I'm ejaculating on camera. Yeah, not only that. Yeah,
(30:10):
the skydive Skyjagging is finally going to come out with Howdiving.
I brought a DVD player, a portable DVD play and
I and for breakfast, I ate four erectile dysfunction tablet.
So getting a boner was not going. And dude, I
(30:37):
had to be in consultation with my recovery community because uh,
the because of the general anesthesia stunt where we got
a medical professional in disguise to administer stolen general anesthesia
drugs into an ivy in my arm while I was
hauling as us on a fucking bicycle.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Baby, wait, what do you what do you mean like
they've knocked you out while you were biking.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Yeah, that's a gimme hit me with the general anesthesia
and uh, you know, and I'm gonna write and then
killed you in disguise. And that's not even as sketchy
as the epidural foot race. You're I'm the foot race.
Like the epidural is a four inch needle in your
spinal cavity. They injected drug into your spine for what
(31:29):
to render you paralyzed?
Speaker 4 (31:30):
My lord?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
And this sketchy.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
I met the doctor at one of my shows.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Yeah. He was like, dude, I got an anestagian thing
for you.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
And I was like, that's oh you got this doctor.
When I hear that, I'm like, do they have medical
grade night oxide?
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Yeah, that's like where the level for the stunts are at.
And then and and uh, you know, I really spent
my time. I toured the comedy club circuit for eleven years,
like developing the craft and got it to a place
where I'm like I belong on that stage now. Yeah,
(32:12):
all of my worlds have converged into this multimedia crazier
than ever live comedy show. And I'm so excited for
the world to.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Say, amazing the bucket list.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Any other bombs you saw that didn't involve you, that
you just were like you just witnessed as an audience member,
and he like, if you saw like Willie Nelson fall
off the stage or something for example, or you just
saw fucking you know, Tom Jones just eat it on
anything like that come up or anything where like this
is the worst stunt. This is the stunt I regret
(32:44):
the most, which I know you have a list for
somebody like set themselves on fire and fu fu fucked up.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
I mean I set myself on fire for for the
closer angel Yeah, the Fire Angels was the closer of
my last comedy to come out, which is called Gnarly Yea.
And Gnarly is just sitting on my website. You hit
play and it just plays for free Stevo dot com.
(33:09):
I'd say, I can't put my stuff on YouTube because
it's like, uh, it's down. Well yeah, I mean I
would get serious trouble. Yeah, Like so I've got these
like highly explicit like like too hot for YouTube, too
hot for like anything.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Did you get arrested for balls or something?
Speaker 5 (33:29):
Yeah? That that was in in uh Louisiana on my
don't tries head hometown. The bottle of tequila was sitting
there on the stage, and uh I was covered in blood.
I was stapling my balls to my leg. At the
point when I stapled my balls to my leg, the
(33:51):
footage reflected me saying, this is not uh art. This
is strictly to be offensive. Now. I don't know why
I would say that, because it was definitely art, zero
question that it was art. But that qualified the stapling
as a felony obscenity by some standards.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Somebody, why would you say that?
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Somebody opined that that was felony obscenity. And the reason
it came to light was because the kids, like as
per usual people climbing on the stage. Someone grabbed the
tequila bottle off the stage. And when they did that,
the security, which was these college football players, they just
(34:35):
zipped in and they neutral they got the bottle back,
and I was impressed by the security and I was like, man,
these security guards are good. Who wants to get on
stage and try to run across the stage past the bouncers.
We'll call this one British bulldog who wants to play
some British bulldog and like this kid jumping up and
(34:56):
that was just the most noticeable kid. Like it was
like you you're a you know, like, how am I'm
not going to let this kid? He's so excited. The
kid gets on stage and I go one, two, three,
go he runs. The kid didn't weigh anything. Those two
huge football player guys just grabbed him and it was
anti climactic. So the bouncers took it upon themselves. After
(35:19):
grabbing the kid two together, they hoisted him up above
their heads and slammed him on the stage on his head,
and I seemed to recall that the kid was knocked out, twitching,
maybe bleeding from an ear and on the I said,
that kid's being loaded into an ambulance. Is that what
(35:43):
we came here to see? And I continued and then
I said, like he wants to play another round of
British bulls. It was It was bad, and somebody in
the audience had been recording it video camera. This is
already this is the oh yeah, yeah, I mean stable
(36:04):
with the balls every night. But h so that the
person who record nothing nothing. Uh. Remember we were I
was in Louisiana. We went to Alabama the next night.
I remember thinking, oh, yeah, that was pretty gnarly. Somebody
uh like reviewing their video. They were like, you know what,
this feels a little bit kind of weird, and maybe
I'll send this to the newspaper. They sent their videotape
(36:28):
to the newspaper. The newspaper watching and they said, this
doesn't feel like as much of a news story as
a crime. So they sent they sent it to the
police and then and then uh, within a couple of
weeks they uh filed charges and a warrant, and it
was it was fascinating because I was charged with two crimes.
(36:51):
One was principal to second degree battery, which was a felony,
but for for orchestrating this this battery on this kid,
and and for the battery charge specifically, they set the
bail at I think one hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
But for the second charge, which was felony obscenity, they
(37:13):
set the bail at one million, Yeah, a million dollars staple.
So given that the price associated with my warrant was
one point twelve million dollars when the fugitive warrant, Like
because I was back in California by that point, and
when I showed up on the fugitive radar, like I
(37:38):
think I I was like top ten, you know, like
most wanted.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
I was like a big priority.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
And so they they they came in. They caught me
on an off day. I was hybriding. I was hibernating
in my roommate. He was like, hey, you Steve, but man,
you gotta get up. Man, this is important. And there
were these fugitive officers and they brought me into the
(38:06):
Twin Towers, where I was told that I was in
ODB self.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Holy did you get How did you get out of that?
You had to go to court?
Speaker 5 (38:18):
And I sat in jail for five days waiting for
a bail reduction hearing because I didn't have uh.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
The argument was that I, you know, I had my
face tattooed in my back end, even though the second
movie was out yet. But they were just like, this
guy can't really be a flight risk. He can't hide
anywhere particularly well, I forget how much I had to
borrow from my accountant to post the bond, but he
did charge me interest.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
But did you have to go to court?
Speaker 5 (38:54):
Yeah, it ended up. I was I posted bond, I
was out on bail, still facing eight years in prison
like they were, like I forget which like I think
it was like a five year maximum for the obscenity
and three for the battery. I don't know what I was,
but combined it.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
Worse than.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
I know. And so I'm facing eight years in prison.
I'm out on bail and I go flying off to
Europe with my don't try the home tour where I
got arrested for international drug smell. I got arrested for
international drug smuggling in Sweden while out on bail for
(39:39):
ball stapling.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
How did you did you spend any time in jail?
Speaker 5 (39:45):
I spent another five days in jail in Sweden.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
How did you get out all these charges?
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Well?
Speaker 5 (39:52):
Yeah, I mean that the My my criminal record is
largely the through line of my Gnarly Comedy special at
Stevo dot Com because I was I was still on
probation for my climbing up the crane and blowing up
the fireworks thing and and uh and and for the
opening sequence of My Gnarly Special. I had the jackass
(40:14):
guys duct tape me into a billboard truck and hit
baseballs at me and then drive me down the highway
to the theater, which was wildly illegal and I was
on probation. So so that kind of set the tone
for like the story of criminal STEVEO. The criminal.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
I mean, like, I don't know, have you been to
court before?
Speaker 5 (40:41):
Yeah, I've been to court plenty of times for felony,
cocaine possession, vandalism. Ah, yeah you do. In any case,
if we were over it before, we're definitely.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
I wanted to ask, what the stunt you regret? Is
there one sentence like the stunt you regret the most
of everything?
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Well, the thing is that like on a consequence basis,
consequences for me personally have translated very well to film.
So I'm not gonna regret anything based on how much
it hurt.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
No, No, No, that's not what I mean either. Because
people are like you always ask me what do you
do when a prank goes wrong? And I go, that's
all I want a prank to do, Like I want
things to go wrong, not wrong in like the sense
that there was some production failure and and prank didn't
get a reaction, but I can tell when people ask that,
they're like, what happens when people get pissed?
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Though, I'm like, I don't know, great footage, right, what
do you mean? Yeah, that's what I meant.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
I just meant based off that list you showed me
when you first sat down, if there was one particular
one that.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
You were like, the basis for me regretting a stunt
is when it was just embarrassing and lame, or like
there's the high on the list if I regret because
I'm such an an advocate for animals these days, like
and like very outspoken against SeaWorld, Like I had to
(42:12):
admit how ashamed I am that back in the wild
Boys days we went to a very SeaWorld esque place
and I rode captive dolphins. There's footage of me riding
captive dolphins. Mister Sea World guys out there, captivity. That's tough.
There's nothing I regret more than that, as.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
Far as camera are the dolphins, Like, not in a
good place.
Speaker 5 (42:36):
In captive dolphins, captive workers.
Speaker 3 (42:40):
It's pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
It's rough.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
What about that? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (42:44):
Yeah, like I wrote ostriches, I'm not particularly proud of
that like when you watch me riding the ostriches like
it just looks like it looks like I weigh a
little more than their.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Comfortab Yeah, dude, I can't.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
Thank you enough.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
I can think your brain all day. That was fucking amazing.
You're like the ideal guest for this bread.
Speaker 5 (43:08):
Thank you, Hey, Thank you, bro.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
I'll be with are godre Hey Before you go, I
want to let you know I got a new book
out that I wrote with my friend Dan Curry. It
is called Dumb Ideas Behind the Scenes Expose I'm making
pranks and other stupid creative endeavors and how you can
also too. It's out now and you can get it
anywhere you buy books or audio books. Now here's a
special clip from the audio book, just for you. I
(43:34):
always dreamed of being arrested while doing comedy. Then I
finally did. During season one of The Eric Gondra Show,
I went to a town on meeting dressed like a
frat boy. Well, the mayor of this podu on California
town called Rancho Kucamonga, no joke, was babbling on about
god knows what. I dressed like a frat boy, ran
up to the podium, and said, hey, y'all vote for
me for class president, and I'll put beer in the
(43:55):
water fountains and cameras in the girls' locker rooms. Woo go, Bobcats.
This half baked character was inspired by any Porky's loving
dipshit from my first high school kinda. If you read
that last sentence and got the porky reference, give yourself
a pork sandwich, then poke a gloryhole in your own shower.
That movie didn't age well. This evening town hall meeting
(44:15):
was attended by the mayor and twelve sheriffs. These municipal
hot shots didn't share my sense of humor and promptly
detained me. The sun was setting, the air was thick.
I was on a high. The sheriff's escorted me outside
of the parking lot and kept asking for my name.
I told them my name was John Coltrane. They kept
trying to look me up in their cop car laptop
and they would lament, you're not coming up in the system, Coltrane.
(44:39):
This one cop came up to me and went how
many drugs are you on? And I was stone cold sober,
so I self cued the classic sobriety test. And started
nailing them. Still in character, I leaned my head back
and started tapping my nose and saying the alphabet backwards flawlessly,
Z why XWVUT. Then I walked in a straight line.
Speaker 4 (44:59):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Over and over again. These sheriffs were beside themselves. This
is the most sober idiot we've ever seen. Finally, the
head boss sheriff softened. I don't want to arrest you, guy,
but I just have to arrest you since you made
such a scene in front of my boss. Poor guy,
he just had to arrest me. I can't imagine the
emotional pain and trauma he suffered while cuffing.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Bombing Balming with Eric and Anddred.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Do you have a fun way that you start?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
No, I kind of like starting without even Oh you
want to bomb in circumstance.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
And we are bad.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Back from what where were we?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
So?
Speaker 5 (01:12):
How many episodes of this have you done?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I think we're like at the halfway, but a little
more than half.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
So you're you're on the podcast bandwagon.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I love talking to comedians and musicians and performers about
their worst bomb like hearing the worst stories because everyone
has them, no matter who you could be whatever. Madonna
has bombing stories, you know what I mean. Prince opened
up for the Rolling Stones in the late seventies early
eighties and people threw bottles at him, you know what
(01:41):
I mean. So everybody has a great bombing story, and
it's like that brings it brings me so much joy,
doesn't feel like work.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I can can vouch for the veracity of that sentiment
because of how tickled you were by my Wu Tang
sty fucking.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I mean, it's kind of can we repeat it on you?
Can we get peopled?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, yeah, Because I heard that story from like another comedian,
then I heard it from you. Then I like that story,
like I've heard through different I almost brought it up.
I saw Ghost Face in Raekwon at south By Southwest
like five years ago, and I was like so like
it was the first time I ever saw him live
and everything. Well, actually I saw Wu Tang live, but
I never saw just them live. And I almost brought it.
(02:27):
It was like, in the back of my.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Mind, I don't think anybody would have been particularly offended
to have brought it up. I know that that that
I on my podcast, I spoke to method Man about
we had Method Man one, we had one, and I
repeatedly requested taber Ekuan on and he politely different, do.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You want to tell me?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
It's one of those stories that at this point I
wonder if everybody doesn't just already know it. But the
the year was two thousand and six. I believe it
was during the summer before Jackass number two came out.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Jermaine told me this.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
He goes, when Jackass one came out, we didn't really
know if we were ever going to have a job again.
And then when jacksone was so successful, he goes, watch
Jackass two again. Everybody wants to die. He goes, they're
going so hard. You guys are going so hard for
two that he was like, everyone was like near death.
Every stunt and prank is something like that. So he's like,
(03:33):
for the energy going into Jackass two, he said, was insane.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Jackass number two was the heyday, man, it was the heyday.
We were like it wasn't like, oh, these guys are
like too old, it's creepy. Like we were still kind
of under the bar for our age. Like the substance
abuse hadn't really reared its ugly head and turned on us.
(03:57):
Yet everything just worked. It was like there was a
mad expel cast over that movie. Yeah, everything just works fantastically. Well,
I'm guessing that at the time of this Wu Tang incident,
we had wrapped filming for Jackass number two, so Just's
morale was really high, like confidence was through the roof.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
The I hadn hadn't come out.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Yet, correct, got it correct. I had a relationship with
Method Man because we had him on Wild Boys.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Right, you already burned the little South African hut down
to the ground at that point.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Yeah, we burned the three cabins down to the ground
at the resort in South Africa while filming the pilot
for Wild Boys. I thought that the Wild Boys would
never come out and that we would just be mired
in lawsuits, completely broke for the rest of our lives
and canceled and and none of that happened. So with
(05:01):
Method and there was another incident where it wasn't an incident.
It was a cool thing. I met up with method
Man in I think two thousand and five, and like
he was in town for the BET Awards, and there's
something like I wanted to film with them, like for
(05:23):
this project I was working on. He agreed to come
have me over to his hotel. In his hotel room,
he lit up one threw it across the room and
I caught it in my mouth, but I caught it backwards,
so it burned my lip. And then we were laughing
about how it looked like I had herpes. But when
I showed up at that hotel, Dave Chappelle was outside,
(05:49):
you know. And I met Dave Chappelle and I said,
I told him, man, I think my life might be
in danger because I went into the G Unit studios
and I took on all their beef and and and
I was hurling insults and threats and like really saying
awful things about scary gangster rapper people. And then I
(06:09):
did didn't take it even further, and and uh, and
Dave Chappelle said, oh no, he said, no, Uh, you're
you're you're jackass man, You're Steve. You got diplomatic community.
And I love that. I've always loved that so much.
I've got diplomatic community, but he's I had a relationship
(06:30):
with with with with with method Man and the festival.
It was called Rock the Bells. Wu Tang was headlining it.
Cypress Hill played it. There was like there was really
like a lot of paloso of hippop. I showed up.
I'm drinking all day. I'm just Beligerante vodka, Red Bull.
(06:55):
I want to say it was my go to. Yeah.
So so I'm like, I'm all excited, you know. I'm
They're gonna have part a portion of the show where
they pay respect to old dirty bastard, and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Around that time.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
He died in two thousand and four.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Right right, right, right, so it's fresh, the wounds are fresh, right.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
And I had just I'd been doing backflips for the
longest time, but I had just combined two of my
trademark tricks, one being the standing backflip, the other being
called it was called a double back, where I would
flip aggressively flip my wiener and my ball sack back
(07:41):
and forth violently and back and forth and back and forth,
and then on the backswing, I would jump up part
my legs and then clamp it so I would with
no hands. I would thrust myself into a mangina position
fully talked like like buffalo bill from silence to the lambs,
and then once in the mangina, position fully tucked, then
(08:03):
I would do a backflip. It was called a double
back backflip. The reason I was called a double back
because you had both your wiener and your balls in
the back. Yeah, also known as a back burger. So
it was a big deal too because the first time
I ever did a standing back flip with myself tucked, like,
(08:26):
there's a legitimate fear that I might just rip my
drunk off right, you know. But but I got away
here that I pulled it, and and I just had
this new trick in my back pocket. So I'm like, okay,
well this is great. During the Wu Tang performance, I'm
gonna get totally naked and flip my balls and wiener
back and forth, catch it in a vanagina, and this
is gonna be like a great way.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Did you did they have you? Were they like, Steve, O,
You're gonna come out during Wu Tang at a specific
time or did you just make this up in your
head and you were like, I'm gonna like just bomb
the stage and just it was.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
It wasn't a bomb the stage situation. And they had
people just all over the stage the whole time. It
was crazy. But there was a distinct point in the
show where it was like the tribute to ODB part
they had Odb's mom on the stage.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
It was sentimental part yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
And it was it was orchestrated to a point. It
was understood that I would be there. So when it happens,
medod Man like hands me the microphone and I go
on this drunken diet tribe about how I was locked
up in the Twin Tower jail in protective custody and
they said I was in Odb's cell, so so I
(09:37):
was practically cellmates with ob and I'm going to honor
and respect him, and and uh and and I get naked,
I do my trick as planned, and it was arguably
the cleanest, yeah, the most well executed double back back
flip of my life.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
And it was tough to to really execute one perfectly
because you know, when you're talked like that, you can't
quite you know. It's a little bit like trying to
do a backflip with your hands behind your back.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
You know.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
But but I pulled it. I pulled it well. And
then they went into shimmy yawn. It's like everyone's yeah,
everyone's great vibes. And I think it was about halfway
through where ray Kwon finally like it bothering to much,
just stopped everything on stage on stage. Yeah, I'm bumping,
(10:29):
I'm bouncing. I just feel like I just you know,
I'm like the best moment ever. And then it's like
the needle scrap, you know, like whoa, everything stops. Raycorn
grabs me by my neck, grabs me by my neck
and like just drags me to the front of the
(10:49):
stage by my neck. And he's like, you apologize, oh
my neck?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
You out.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I did the crowd thing. You guys were doing a
sketch or something.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
It was pretty evident that that was not a sketch,
and it was I apologized quickly and previously really yeah,
and I did even qualified said, I said, I meant
in no disrespect. I'm here because I love O D B.
He said, Now You're gonna apologize to B's mom too,
Like I'm not good enough. Now you gotta apologize to
(11:33):
miss Cherry, and I apologize to Miss Cherry, and then
I was told that it would be best if I left.
It was that they made it very clear that I
was not safe, that.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
You had no diplomatic community.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Yeah, yeah, he did. But one could categorize that whole
performance I a bomb.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yes, yeah, I mean in a way though you did
the best double back backflip, that's true, it's not a bomb.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
That was a great success.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
And I've never, to my knowledge, encountered Ray Kuan ever
since then.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
But he died shortly after that.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I think I think it's well understood that, you know,
I take no pleasure in having offended him, or you know,
like I just don't.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I think it's about intention and all the karmic value
of your actions is defined by intent, right, So I
think you genuinely meant that there's a tribute and you
genuinely loved ODB. I did, but maybe in the eye
of the beholder that is rick one, right, he didn't
view it the same way.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Yeah, And and method Man. Method Man went on, so
he said, you know, but I didn't really think consider
with like with his mom there, and you know, it's.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
A touchy especially with the mom's Yeah, it's a hard
thing to right.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
I mean, in hindsight, yeah, I was wrong.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
It might not be a right versus wrong kind of thing.
It might be like a It was like every country
has its own customs and way of a way of grieving.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Yeah, and and pretty much every country has a problem
with illegal narcotics.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
With a recadre, with a recadre, what's the worst bomb?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And it can you can include not just stand up,
but jackass live even circus days like early ringing.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Rights kind of getting into stand up. It was that
same summer, the first time. Yeah, that that that's that
same summer I was asked to perform a stunt at
the Laugh Factory, the world famous laugh Factory on the
(14:09):
Sunset Strip right in West Hollywood, and I agreed to
show up. But I did show up, but I didn't
give any thought as to what my stunt in this
comedy club would be. I showed up. I was, of
course loaded. I was always loaded. And when I was.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Those days, would you get wasted every day or just
just a weekend warrior?
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Oh god, no, every day.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
But Monday, Monday, Tuesday, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Yeah, for sure, I did. It was it was a
period when I was not. I was abstaining from cocaine.
I got cocaine had presented as an issue, and I remember.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
What was the issue.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Yeah, the issue was that that I lived my life
awake for two to three days. It was like it
it was like three days on, one day off, then
three days on one day off in this.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Like no sleep correct, Wow, yeah, sustainable?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Well no, I did sustain it for years.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
And uh, you live like that for years of like
creeping only like pretty much sleeping only a couple of
nights out of the week.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
It was.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Really gnarly and uh. And and whenever something that that
I was really obligated to do would land at an
unfortunate time when it was cocaine off, when I was hibernating,
So the cocaine schedule came first, and then everything I
had to link into the cocaine schedule. That that's when
(15:46):
I really knew I had a problem. When it was like, oh,
you know, somebody's getting married or like there's something that
I really really have to be there, and I would think, man,
I hope that doesn't you.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Know land hibernation day.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yeah, yeah, And and the way that I would meet
my obligations would just be to do more more drugs,
you know, like there's no such thing as like, oh
I better. You know, there's no such thing as a
truncating a bender, but there was absolutely such a thing
(16:23):
as extending the bender, right, And I was very professional
in that regard. Yeah, so I wouldn't like I really
never didn't show up for professional obligations or anything really
important for that matter. I just could not speak to
(16:44):
what shape I would be and what it did show up.
But when we went into filming Jackass number two, recognizing
that that really was a problem and that I was
showing up, and you know, it started to feel like
Boogie Knights when when Mark Wahlberg shows up and he's ready,
(17:07):
he's ready, he's ready to and and Jeff Tremaine did
take on that that Burt Reynolds role of like I'm
not shooting you in this condition, but I'm right now,
you know, like and and and and that that whole
Boogie Knight's dynamic of me being on drugs was was problematic.
And going into filming jack As number two, I pledged
(17:30):
that I'm for the whole filming of Jackets number two,
that I was not going to do cocaine and I
somehow honored that. Really, I mean I went, yes, that
and that that was the problem is that, Uh, the
problem was that because I didn't have the cocaine, I
(17:51):
just got so much drunker and and and and and
I started presenting as an angry drunk.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
No.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, like a there the balance of the cocaine, right,
the whole.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Balance of the balance went out the window. And I
was and and uh I would This was when I
was getting into rapping too, So like if I had
like a new rap song, you know, it would be
like every everybody come to my room and listen to
my rap. But if anybody like said anything while I
was trying to play my rap song that I would
(18:25):
just throw a gnarly timber tangent or throw them out,
like like women, I would bring women back to the
hotel room. But if they tiptoed out of line and
got out, Yeah, people could hear me throwing chicks out
of my room from uh from like far down the hall.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
That was better than the cocaine version of you.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
That seems like right like there was no good version. Yeah,
there was no good version, but I made it for
I believe over a year without doing any cocaine. And
and this this first time at the Lab Factory. It
was during that period. So I walked into the comedy
(19:05):
club and just kind of looked around and saw the
person performing stand up on stage. I don't know that
I'd ever even been to a comedy club before that,
and I thought it just it struck me that there's
no crazier stunt that I could possibly perform than to
get on that stage and try doing stand up like
that just terrible. That was like nothing could be scarier.
(19:29):
And I was like, oh, man, I'm gnarly. Man, I'm crazy.
I'm gonna do that, man. And you know the way
that it works at the Lab Factory, everybody does like
a ten or fifteen minute said, and I'm like way
down the list. So I've shown up and now I'm
just sitting around waiting for my turn. And as I'm waiting,
I'm thinking, I'm like, oh my god, it's just I'm
(19:49):
gripped by fear. I'm like, oh my god, Like if
I'm just going to try and say something to make
people laugh, like what am I going to say?
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Like?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
And I came up with a joke, yeah, only one
and know when it was my turn. I got on stage.
I said, I said, hey, everybody, I am in the
mood for a blowjob. Does anybody want one? And that
was and I got a laugh, you know, it was
it was it was great man, And and my overall
(20:19):
sense was that when they introduced me, people knew who
it was. They were excited to see me, and they
were there to have a good time. They were excited
to see me, and they were rooting for me. They did,
let's everybody wants to have a good time. So like
the energy was was was in my favor.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It was on my side.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Now, that energy will turn very quickly if you don't
deliver them entertainment. But I but I got that first laugh,
and then I basically just got I got out of there.
Could not have been on that stage.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
For more than three minutes the other night.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Get the hell out of there. You know, excitement, cool,
one laugh and gone. And it was such a favorable
experience that I before I left the building, I scheduled
my return, and before my return, I actually honkered down
with like a case of whippets and a huge bottle
(21:13):
of vodka, and I wrote out a set and I
wrote out like a ten minute set, and I had
bullet points. I was like, you know, sex, drugs, and
rock and roll. Then that was my thing. And it
was like and I framed it as how are you
going to how to make it in Hollywood? You know,
(21:35):
like how to make it in the entertainment industry? And
it was like, well, you gotta do drugs, like you
gotta have sex, you know, like and it was I
had like jokes built into it that that worked reasonably well.
I remember, like when I went to go perform this
ten minutes, I brought a videographer to film it. And
(22:00):
one of my biggest regrets in life was that, even
at that time, in the shape I was in, like
I regret the fact that I filmed that ten minute
performance put it on YouTube, and and I was like
that it's done. I put it out there, and then
(22:20):
I'm retiring that material.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Yeah yeah, because like I said, there were it went
reasonably well, and if I were to have kept working
on that material, it would have gone maybe a little.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Better the next time, Like I see, filmed it, I
just filmed developed. I didn't. I didn't develop it, and.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
You could you could go back and later.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Well, right, I mean it wasn't the time. But the
problem was that I got a lot of confidence on
that one because I prepared a little bit, and you know,
like I said, oh man, I'm good at this. Yeah, this,
So so I planned to go back a third time. Yeah,
And the third time I went back, I just felt
(23:10):
that I was good at it and and and like
I wasn't gonna retell any jokes, but I didn't write
any new ones. So when I went that third time,
I had that first experience with like really catastrophically bombing. There.
(23:31):
I was on stage and I just I seemed to
there was no video camera this time. I believe that
Steve Irwin had just passed away. I was like, oh, well,
I was trying to like riff on the passing of
Steve Irwin, which was particularly funny. You know. I just
(23:56):
I just didn't have anything, and it didn't go well.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Have you were bombed so hard that you got booed,
or anybody threw something at you.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Or fight on stage.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Or I was attacked one time while performing.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Way back in the day, somebody attacked you, Yes, just.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
For no reason. It was it was New Year's Eve
when two thousand and three turned into two thousand and four, Calgary,
and some guy just gone on stage and just sucker
punched me while I was performing for no reason, none
that I'm aware of.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Who did he get arrested? Did you fight?
Speaker 5 (24:37):
He got beaten up? He got beaten up by a
number of people. I think a number of people descended
on him and kind of beat him up and free
as he was, you know, kind of held down. Preston Lacy,
who was performing on stage with me, sort of grated
(25:01):
off his forehead with his microphone. One of those microphones
that's like with the metal mesh and it kind of
offerates like a cheese grater if you're really take into
someone's forehead. Yeah, I remember there was some grading going
on with the microphone, and there's some beating up going on.
(25:24):
And as they carried this guy off the stage, they
carried him kind of by arms and legs sort of,
you know, as they carried him by, I hauled off
and kicked him, you know, like leg It was. It
was a little extra that one. That kick was not necessary,
and and it actually made me the whole thing like
(25:47):
everybody was wrong, like to a point of criminal offense.
And we were made aware that the cops were coming
and the show was over. We just we ran.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
We ran from the Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
We got we got out of there. We ran away,
We got away. And then in twenty eleven, seven years later,
now I'm in Calgary again to perform stand up at
the Comedy Club in Calgary, and I'm on the morning
news to promote my comedy club appearances. And the morning
(26:27):
news anchor asked me, had I ever been to Calgary?
I said, yeah, I did. We beat up this guy.
Oh no, we ran from the cops and it was crazy.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
And then as I attempted to leave Calgary after that
weekend that it, showed my passport to the customs guy
and he said, oh, yeah, this is great. You're going
into this room. Yeah, going into this room. And I didn't.
(27:05):
I didn't put it all together. So I went into
the room and then these police came into the room
and they were like, oh, well, yeah, you've got this.
We found this Warren on you. You know, I drew
enough attention to it on the news that that I
was afforded the opportunity to make it right. And lucky
for Preston Lacey, he too was afforded the opportunity to
(27:29):
make he was not with me again, but he was
dragged into it because it all bubbled. Yeah, so present
Preston can can rest easy at night knowing that, knowing
that that we we.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
You provided an opportunity, makes right.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah it was great. Preston was profoundly great.
I'm yeah, but but but then that Yeah, yeah, I
spent like eleven hours.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
In a in a holding Fuck yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
I was in I was in a holding tank. And
I remember, I mean I got sober in two thousand
and eight, and this was twenty eleven. I was sober
for like three years. And I remember as I sat
in that sitting in that holding cell, like they were
parading you know, different other offenders back and forth, and
(28:30):
they were just guys that were just like covered in
blood and black like ever, there's one common denominator. Everybody
seemed to be highly intoxic. I remember sitting in that
cell for like eleven hours, and each person that was
paraded past my cell made me more grateful than the
last for my sobriety.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Yeah, with red red they're looking at me because I
have to God, I.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Could talk to you for we got to wrap it
up already.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Yeah, how about that well time flies. Man.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I love you, dude, I loved Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
I deeply love you.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Love you too, yeah, I say I'm in love with you.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
What are you?
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Check this out? Like now my tour like isn't like
all the chaos happening on stage. The bar is so
high now that like that I take care of like
the insand the bar has to keep going higher and higher.
So now it's like legitimately life threatening stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And I've got I've.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Just taped my my new comedy special for my show
of the bucket List, and like it is triple x rated,
like this whole tour, Like no kids allowed because that's
illegal because I'm ejaculating on camera. Yeah, not only that. Yeah,
(30:10):
the skydive Skyjagging is finally going to come out with Howdiving.
I brought a DVD player, a portable DVD play and
I and for breakfast, I ate four erectile dysfunction tablet.
So getting a boner was not going. And dude, I
(30:37):
had to be in consultation with my recovery community because uh,
the because of the general anesthesia stunt where we got
a medical professional in disguise to administer stolen general anesthesia
drugs into an ivy in my arm while I was
hauling as us on a fucking bicycle.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Baby, wait, what do you what do you mean like
they've knocked you out while you were biking.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Yeah, that's a gimme hit me with the general anesthesia
and uh, you know, and I'm gonna write and then
killed you in disguise. And that's not even as sketchy
as the epidural foot race. You're I'm the foot race.
Like the epidural is a four inch needle in your
spinal cavity. They injected drug into your spine for what
(31:29):
to render you paralyzed?
Speaker 4 (31:30):
My lord?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
And this sketchy.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
I met the doctor at one of my shows.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Yeah. He was like, dude, I got an anestagian thing
for you.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
And I was like, that's oh you got this doctor.
When I hear that, I'm like, do they have medical
grade night oxide?
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Yeah, that's like where the level for the stunts are at.
And then and and uh, you know, I really spent
my time. I toured the comedy club circuit for eleven years,
like developing the craft and got it to a place
where I'm like I belong on that stage now. Yeah,
(32:12):
all of my worlds have converged into this multimedia crazier
than ever live comedy show. And I'm so excited for
the world to.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Say, amazing the bucket list.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Any other bombs you saw that didn't involve you, that
you just were like you just witnessed as an audience member,
and he like, if you saw like Willie Nelson fall
off the stage or something for example, or you just
saw fucking you know, Tom Jones just eat it on
anything like that come up or anything where like this
is the worst stunt. This is the stunt I regret
(32:44):
the most, which I know you have a list for
somebody like set themselves on fire and fu fu fucked up.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
I mean I set myself on fire for for the
closer angel Yeah, the Fire Angels was the closer of
my last comedy to come out, which is called Gnarly Yea.
And Gnarly is just sitting on my website. You hit
play and it just plays for free Stevo dot com.
(33:09):
I'd say, I can't put my stuff on YouTube because
it's like, uh, it's down. Well yeah, I mean I
would get serious trouble. Yeah, Like so I've got these
like highly explicit like like too hot for YouTube, too
hot for like anything.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Did you get arrested for balls or something?
Speaker 5 (33:29):
Yeah? That that was in in uh Louisiana on my
don't tries head hometown. The bottle of tequila was sitting
there on the stage, and uh I was covered in blood.
I was stapling my balls to my leg. At the
point when I stapled my balls to my leg, the
(33:51):
footage reflected me saying, this is not uh art. This
is strictly to be offensive. Now. I don't know why
I would say that, because it was definitely art, zero
question that it was art. But that qualified the stapling
as a felony obscenity by some standards.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Somebody, why would you say that?
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Somebody opined that that was felony obscenity. And the reason
it came to light was because the kids, like as
per usual people climbing on the stage. Someone grabbed the
tequila bottle off the stage. And when they did that,
the security, which was these college football players, they just
(34:35):
zipped in and they neutral they got the bottle back,
and I was impressed by the security and I was like, man,
these security guards are good. Who wants to get on
stage and try to run across the stage past the bouncers.
We'll call this one British bulldog who wants to play
some British bulldog and like this kid jumping up and
(34:56):
that was just the most noticeable kid. Like it was
like you you're a you know, like, how am I'm
not going to let this kid? He's so excited. The
kid gets on stage and I go one, two, three,
go he runs. The kid didn't weigh anything. Those two
huge football player guys just grabbed him and it was
anti climactic. So the bouncers took it upon themselves. After
(35:19):
grabbing the kid two together, they hoisted him up above
their heads and slammed him on the stage on his head,
and I seemed to recall that the kid was knocked out, twitching,
maybe bleeding from an ear and on the I said,
that kid's being loaded into an ambulance. Is that what
(35:43):
we came here to see? And I continued and then
I said, like he wants to play another round of
British bulls. It was It was bad, and somebody in
the audience had been recording it video camera. This is
already this is the oh yeah, yeah, I mean stable
(36:04):
with the balls every night. But h so that the
person who record nothing nothing. Uh. Remember we were I
was in Louisiana. We went to Alabama the next night.
I remember thinking, oh, yeah, that was pretty gnarly. Somebody
uh like reviewing their video. They were like, you know what,
this feels a little bit kind of weird, and maybe
I'll send this to the newspaper. They sent their videotape
(36:28):
to the newspaper. The newspaper watching and they said, this
doesn't feel like as much of a news story as
a crime. So they sent they sent it to the
police and then and then uh, within a couple of
weeks they uh filed charges and a warrant, and it
was it was fascinating because I was charged with two crimes.
(36:51):
One was principal to second degree battery, which was a felony,
but for for orchestrating this this battery on this kid,
and and for the battery charge specifically, they set the
bail at I think one hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
But for the second charge, which was felony obscenity, they
(37:13):
set the bail at one million, Yeah, a million dollars staple.
So given that the price associated with my warrant was
one point twelve million dollars when the fugitive warrant, Like
because I was back in California by that point, and
when I showed up on the fugitive radar, like I
(37:38):
think I I was like top ten, you know, like
most wanted.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
I was like a big priority.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
And so they they they came in. They caught me
on an off day. I was hybriding. I was hibernating
in my roommate. He was like, hey, you Steve, but man,
you gotta get up. Man, this is important. And there
were these fugitive officers and they brought me into the
(38:06):
Twin Towers, where I was told that I was in
ODB self.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Holy did you get How did you get out of that?
You had to go to court?
Speaker 5 (38:18):
And I sat in jail for five days waiting for
a bail reduction hearing because I didn't have uh.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
The argument was that I, you know, I had my
face tattooed in my back end, even though the second
movie was out yet. But they were just like, this
guy can't really be a flight risk. He can't hide
anywhere particularly well, I forget how much I had to
borrow from my accountant to post the bond, but he
did charge me interest.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
But did you have to go to court?
Speaker 5 (38:54):
Yeah, it ended up. I was I posted bond, I
was out on bail, still facing eight years in prison
like they were, like I forget which like I think
it was like a five year maximum for the obscenity
and three for the battery. I don't know what I was,
but combined it.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
Worse than.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
I know. And so I'm facing eight years in prison.
I'm out on bail and I go flying off to
Europe with my don't try the home tour where I
got arrested for international drug smell. I got arrested for
international drug smuggling in Sweden while out on bail for
(39:39):
ball stapling.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
How did you did you spend any time in jail?
Speaker 5 (39:45):
I spent another five days in jail in Sweden.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
How did you get out all these charges?
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Well?
Speaker 5 (39:52):
Yeah, I mean that the My my criminal record is
largely the through line of my Gnarly Comedy special at
Stevo dot Com because I was I was still on
probation for my climbing up the crane and blowing up
the fireworks thing and and uh and and for the
opening sequence of My Gnarly Special. I had the jackass
(40:14):
guys duct tape me into a billboard truck and hit
baseballs at me and then drive me down the highway
to the theater, which was wildly illegal and I was
on probation. So so that kind of set the tone
for like the story of criminal STEVEO. The criminal.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
I mean, like, I don't know, have you been to
court before?
Speaker 5 (40:41):
Yeah, I've been to court plenty of times for felony,
cocaine possession, vandalism. Ah, yeah you do. In any case,
if we were over it before, we're definitely.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
I wanted to ask, what the stunt you regret? Is
there one sentence like the stunt you regret the most
of everything?
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Well, the thing is that like on a consequence basis,
consequences for me personally have translated very well to film.
So I'm not gonna regret anything based on how much
it hurt.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
No, No, No, that's not what I mean either. Because
people are like you always ask me what do you
do when a prank goes wrong? And I go, that's
all I want a prank to do, Like I want
things to go wrong, not wrong in like the sense
that there was some production failure and and prank didn't
get a reaction, but I can tell when people ask that,
they're like, what happens when people get pissed?
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Though, I'm like, I don't know, great footage, right, what
do you mean? Yeah, that's what I meant.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
I just meant based off that list you showed me
when you first sat down, if there was one particular
one that.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
You were like, the basis for me regretting a stunt
is when it was just embarrassing and lame, or like
there's the high on the list if I regret because
I'm such an an advocate for animals these days, like
and like very outspoken against SeaWorld, Like I had to
(42:12):
admit how ashamed I am that back in the wild
Boys days we went to a very SeaWorld esque place
and I rode captive dolphins. There's footage of me riding
captive dolphins. Mister Sea World guys out there, captivity. That's tough.
There's nothing I regret more than that, as.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
Far as camera are the dolphins, Like, not in a
good place.
Speaker 5 (42:36):
In captive dolphins, captive workers.
Speaker 3 (42:40):
It's pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
It's rough.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
What about that? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (42:44):
Yeah, like I wrote ostriches, I'm not particularly proud of
that like when you watch me riding the ostriches like
it just looks like it looks like I weigh a
little more than their.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Comfortab Yeah, dude, I can't.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
Thank you enough.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
I can think your brain all day. That was fucking amazing.
You're like the ideal guest for this bread.
Speaker 5 (43:08):
Thank you, Hey, Thank you, bro.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
I'll be with are godre Hey Before you go, I
want to let you know I got a new book
out that I wrote with my friend Dan Curry. It
is called Dumb Ideas Behind the Scenes Expose I'm making
pranks and other stupid creative endeavors and how you can
also too. It's out now and you can get it
anywhere you buy books or audio books. Now here's a
special clip from the audio book, just for you. I
(43:34):
always dreamed of being arrested while doing comedy. Then I
finally did. During season one of The Eric Gondra Show,
I went to a town on meeting dressed like a
frat boy. Well, the mayor of this podu on California
town called Rancho Kucamonga, no joke, was babbling on about
god knows what. I dressed like a frat boy, ran
up to the podium, and said, hey, y'all vote for
me for class president, and I'll put beer in the
(43:55):
water fountains and cameras in the girls' locker rooms. Woo go, Bobcats.
This half baked character was inspired by any Porky's loving
dipshit from my first high school kinda. If you read
that last sentence and got the porky reference, give yourself
a pork sandwich, then poke a gloryhole in your own shower.
That movie didn't age well. This evening town hall meeting
(44:15):
was attended by the mayor and twelve sheriffs. These municipal
hot shots didn't share my sense of humor and promptly
detained me. The sun was setting, the air was thick.
I was on a high. The sheriff's escorted me outside
of the parking lot and kept asking for my name.
I told them my name was John Coltrane. They kept
trying to look me up in their cop car laptop
and they would lament, you're not coming up in the system, Coltrane.
(44:39):
This one cop came up to me and went how
many drugs are you on? And I was stone cold sober,
so I self cued the classic sobriety test. And started
nailing them. Still in character, I leaned my head back
and started tapping my nose and saying the alphabet backwards flawlessly,
Z why XWVUT. Then I walked in a straight line.
Speaker 4 (44:59):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Over and over again. These sheriffs were beside themselves. This
is the most sober idiot we've ever seen. Finally, the
head boss sheriff softened. I don't want to arrest you, guy,
but I just have to arrest you since you made
such a scene in front of my boss. Poor guy,
he just had to arrest me. I can't imagine the
emotional pain and trauma he suffered while cuffing.
Speaker 4 (45:20):
Me with Eric Andre.
