Speaker 1 Welcome to the Off-Menu podcast, taking the head of conversation, the tail of the internet, pulling those apart cracking open the shell of good times pulling out the poop shoot of bad times and chowing down on the prawn cast eating a lobster no that's a prawn

Speaker 1 that's a gamble my name is james a gaster we own a dream restaurant and we invite a guest in every single week and we ask them their favorite ever start a main course dessert side dish and drink not in that order and this week our guest is

Speaker 1 Steve O

Speaker 1 Steve-O, of course, you will know from Jackass.

Speaker 1 The guy's a cultural icon, James. He's got his own podcast, Steve-O's Wild Ride.
He's, of course, done Wild Boys on TV as well, the Jackass movies, Jackass TV series.

Speaker 1 He's a stand-up comedian, has been a stand-up comedian for over a decade now, touring many countries.

Speaker 1 Yes, and eagle-eared listeners of this podcast will know that, of course, I'm a massive fan of Steve-O's work, but James is absolutely obsessed with Jackass and what the Jackass guys are up to now.

Speaker 1 Yes, it's one of my favorite things is to know what the Jackass guys are up to now.

Speaker 1 jackass forever was uh what was probably now one of my favorite films of all time yes came out last year uh i've watched it a lot including the the extra one where you get all the the different footage that didn't make it in the film i've watched that too and uh i watched it on the plane on the way to my honeymoon and paused the film as the air hostess came around and there was a dick just filling the whole screen yeah which is very hard to pause that film and then not be a dick filling the screen there's quite a lot of dicks in it yes um look you know We're buzzed that we're going to be talking to Steve O.

Speaker 1 This is pretty amazing. And, you know, Benito's a bit scared.
Steve's coming into the office. Toaster's in the office.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, Steve loves animals, but he's done loads of stunts with animals in jackass. Yes.
So he might be about to put toast up his ass. Put toast up his ass.
That could happen. Could happen.

Speaker 1 And that's the risk we're taking today. Yes.
It's worth it. I'm willing to take that risk.
And if he shoves toast up his ass, we will not kick him out. No.

Speaker 1 But if he chooses a secret ingredient which we have deemed to be unacceptable then we will kick him out as is the format of the podcast those are the rules it is and this week the secret ingredients is a line of wasabi which he has had before we saw him in one of the jackass films snort a line of wasabi it made him puke yes it was pretty disgusting yeah and i could only imagine what it felt like yeah so i mean you know we're hoping he doesn't want to do that again we're hoping he doesn't want to do it again but you know we we are choosing something that he might have got a taste for afterwards.

Speaker 1 Maybe he went away and thought that was actually great. He certainly doesn't let things put him off.
So maybe it is part of his dream to do something wild like that again. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, you know, fingers crossed, he won't pick it. But if he does, rules are rules.
And if anyone can take getting kicked out of the dream restaurant, it's Steve-O.

Speaker 1 Steve-O has a new special which is out now. It is the bucket list special.

Speaker 1 I believe it is available on his website, stevo.com. But we'll see.
We'll see. We'll ask him all about it.
We'll We'll hear all about the making of the special that's coming out.

Speaker 1 Yes, very excited to meet Steve-O, to hear from Steve-O, to get some stories, and to hear what food he likes. This is the off-menu menu of Steve-O.

Speaker 1 Welcome, Steve-O, to the Dream Restaurant. Yeah, dude.

Speaker 1 Welcome, Steve-O, to the Dream Restaurant. We've been expecting you for some time.
Love it. Now, candidly,

Speaker 1 I was told that

Speaker 1 I had to come up with

Speaker 1 a dream meal. Yeah.
And I got really excited. Yeah.
And then I found out you guys aren't even going to cook it for me.

Speaker 1 People don't want to hear you eat.

Speaker 1 Although people have seen you do a lot worse, to be fair.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 We like to make people really hungry coming up with their dream menu, and then we just send them back out into the world starving.

Speaker 1 I'll tell you right out of the gate that my favorite food is pickled onion monster munch. Really? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Is that really, Steve?

Speaker 1 Are you pandering to us? Because it's. If you think I'm kidding.

Speaker 1 Why are you taking your belt? About your belt earlier than I thought.

Speaker 1 Stevo's just pulled his trousers down. Oh my god.
And

Speaker 1 he has the monster from the pickled onion monster munch tattooed on his leg. Very vaguely.
Is that new? Large one. Is that a new tattoo?

Speaker 1 Okay, now we might as well peel the curtain back a little bit. But what does that mean when you say? Yeah, yeah.
Please. Please, Stevo.

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 this podcast, as people are listening to it right now,

Speaker 1 if all goes to plan,

Speaker 1 they'll be listening to it substantially in the future. Yes.
Yeah. We're in July now and we're going to hold this off until your special.
Right.

Speaker 1 Which leaves a bunch of question marks, which makes this very, very titillating. Number one, will my brand new pickled onion monster munch tattoo

Speaker 1 be a cause for a massive crippling staph infection

Speaker 1 when I jump off the Tower of London Bridge into the filthy River Thames tomorrow. Tomorrow.

Speaker 1 So, when did you get the tattoo done? Yesterday.

Speaker 1 And two days after you get it done, you're jumping into the Thames. It is bad.
It is very bad.

Speaker 1 They say don't even get it wet. They say, don't even take a shower.
The Thames is pretty wet.

Speaker 1 You've had staph infections before? No. You never have.
Well, no, but

Speaker 1 I'm not even really worried about it because I've spent my entire life uh challenging my immune system yes and as such building it up i remember uh you know people maybe don't know this i was born in england and i attended high school your your forms go through the age of 16 high school goes to 18.

Speaker 1 but i did all four years of high school in london england oh i was actually there even before that i was uh in eighth grade attending the American school in London, England.

Speaker 1 And this was like a highly privileged school, like almost exclusively for obnoxiously wealthy kids. My dad was like a wildly successful corporate executive.
And

Speaker 1 they had this week called alternatives, I think. And it was just, they'd send the students on field trips.
And these field trips were like all over the world, like high level stuff.

Speaker 1 So I chose to go to Egypt for a week in eighth grade. When we got to Egypt, they told us, they said, do not drink the water.

Speaker 1 Or they said, even if you order like a Coca-Cola, do not let them put ice cubes in it because that,

Speaker 1 because you'll get so sick. And we're like, wow, creepy.
And then we're at this restaurant and

Speaker 1 the restaurant was literally on the Nile River, eating out on the patio on like the bank of the Nile River.

Speaker 1 And I watched this Egyptian dude like kneeling by the river and and I watched him dunk a toothbrush in the Nile River and just sit there brushing his teeth and I thought well damn it like uh

Speaker 1 if tap water's bad then then what's the Nile you know it's got to be gnarly and then my next thought was but I bet this guy's just used to it you know like and I bet if this guy who's brushing his teeth in the Nile went back to London where I live and drank tap water, he'd probably get sick.

Speaker 1 You know, it's like whatever you're used to.

Speaker 1 So I devised at that moment, in that moment, I decided that my goal to be the healthiest person would be to travel the world everywhere and just gulp down tap water,

Speaker 1 which I went on to do.

Speaker 1 We filmed Wild Boys, this

Speaker 1 jackass spin-off TV show. Oh, Steve, just so you know, you don't have to give us any background

Speaker 1 anything that you have done. Nice.
We filmed Wild Boys on every single continent except for Antarctica. And I'm reasonably sure that Antarctica's probably got pretty clean water anyway.

Speaker 1 And I did, first thing I would do,

Speaker 1 when we checked into our spot, I'd put down my bags. You know, after traveling, you want to brush your teeth.
So I'd be brush my teeth. I'd think about it.
And I'd

Speaker 1 gulp down tap water. And I never got sick.
I drank toilet water in Peru. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, and you never, you never got the shits.
You never had anything? I'm not going to say never.

Speaker 1 like i had some diarrhea in uh in kenya i think i've every time i've gone to kenya i've gotten some kind of diarrhea now we we just heard a dog barking we might hear that a little more yes that is this uh terribly badly behaved dog which i picked up in whole yeah uh darn it not yesterday the day before yesterday so this is like The same as the tattoo day?

Speaker 1 That's a big day. I was laying down.
Oh, dude, I was such a big day. I was laying down on the tattoo table with the dog like laying on me.
And this dog is snappy. I mean, like, it will bite you.

Speaker 1 Like, like at one point, somebody opened up the door to the tattoo parlor, and there was kind of a crowd gathered around outside because I was posting to my Instagram stories.

Speaker 1 So I tagged the tattoo parlor, and everybody, there's a crowd outside the tattoo parlor. Somebody opens up the door and this.

Speaker 1 damn dog just bolts out and just goes straight to just attacking

Speaker 1 a much smaller dog viciously. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 so yeah, I've named this dog Tazzie. Yeah.
It looks and acts like a Tasmanian devil. And it's not okay with kids or cats or dogs.
Yes. And my job is to find a home for it.

Speaker 1 But if I fail, the hoarder lady in Hole will take it back. Yeah.

Speaker 1 She told us she had 92 animals in her house. Oh my God.

Speaker 1 You know, it was just down to just the one dog. I mean, I kid calling her a hoarder lady.
She's actually a wonderful lady who runs an animal shelter out of her own house. Yeah.
I just, I love animals.

Speaker 1 It's my thing. Yeah.
No, you're a big animal. I mean, it's Peru where you got your last dog.
Wendy, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 We've gotten more dogs since

Speaker 1 we picked one up in Hawaii named Lucy, and she's the greatest. But yeah, we've got more question marks.

Speaker 1 Will I get arrested for jumping off the Tower of London Bridge? It's not that high, but it's not that low.

Speaker 1 You've not

Speaker 1 cleared it. You've not cleared it without

Speaker 1 it. You're just going to

Speaker 1 definitely not cleared. Will the current be strong enough to take me out to sea where I might drown? I don't think so.
A lot of people have been worried about that.

Speaker 1 They're like, the current is intense in the Thames. Yeah, you'll be fine with that.

Speaker 1 You won't be dragged out to sea. I jumped off it 20 years ago.
Right.

Speaker 1 And what bridge was that from? Was it the same bridge? The tower bridge. So the same bridge.
So you kind of know. At the time, that was the highest I'd ever jumped off of.

Speaker 1 So does that mean you've got like a game plan going into this when you know how to jump off of this particular bridge? Well, the only game plan is to bring a professional photographer.

Speaker 1 Because otherwise. Right.
Oh, there's another one. And this is all, these are all question marks.
How's it going to go? Yeah. Yeah.
And I believe that the universe is smiling on me, dudes.

Speaker 1 You know, every once in a while, you feel like you're just getting a little tap on the shoulder, a little wink, you know, like everything's coming together and there's just no way.

Speaker 1 It's like we call it a god shot. Yeah.
Right. Because

Speaker 1 as part of my campaign to get killer professional photos, I was like, dude, London, you know, like I got to get a photo surfing on the roof of a big red London double-decker bus.

Speaker 1 Got to do it, you know? But how do you do that? I have a buddy in Hull. who I flew out to LA because he won this competition.
He is a bus driver, double-decker bus driver in Hull.

Speaker 1 Of course, those pussies have blue-decker buses.

Speaker 1 That's not, that's

Speaker 1 yeah, no, that photo's not going to mean anything to anyone around the world.

Speaker 1 That's a knockoff. It's an imposter.
I don't want anything to do with the blue double-decker bus. It has to be red.
But it was pretty clear to my buddy, the bus driver in Hall,

Speaker 1 that it's not just as easy as... Yeah, sure, hop on the roof.
You know,

Speaker 1 and I've been beaten up on him.

Speaker 1 Like, okay, he's like, well, he says, I suppose if you go to like the, the bus yard where they park the bus, dude, I don't want to get a photo of a bus parked in a crowded lot, lot of, you know, that's lame.

Speaker 1 It's got to be on the road. Then

Speaker 1 I get to London. And I've spent the last few days trying to figure out how to get this shot.
And it just so happens that in front of the hotel my lady is in.

Speaker 1 She's the production designer for my special. And she couldn't come on tour.
She's just working on this insane wall of hundreds of TVs from the 80s that all have to work.

Speaker 1 And it just so happens that right outside of the hotel is where the double-decker bus drivers take their breaks.

Speaker 1 Literally, you got, you've got like at all times, at all times, there's buses that just come up. And it's not necessarily great for the photo because like there'll be like a bus.

Speaker 1 There'll be like three of them.

Speaker 1 It's in the road. It's very Londony.

Speaker 1 and um they literally come up they park in front of our hotel then the driver just gets out of the driver's seat and he just goes and hangs out in the back for his like 15 minute break has a snack like whatever he's just chilling in the back so what this bus driver doesn't know is that i'm gonna have a crew

Speaker 1 like with uh like a 15 foot extension ladder

Speaker 1 and we don't have the ladder yet again this is a question mark so it's a fascinating conversation i think the ladder is the easiest bit yeah yeah yeah right

Speaker 1 But we need to be respectful and not scratch the bus. So

Speaker 1 we googled it on the way here to your studio. A London big red double-decker bus is 14 feet and four inches.

Speaker 1 I don't necessarily need the extension ladder to be taller than that. Right.
I think if we get a 15-foot extension ladder, so this is how many people I need to get this done. I need

Speaker 1 two people to move the ladder in and out and hold it steady. The ladder can't be in the photo, so they got to get it out and then bring it back.

Speaker 1 I need one guy to fly the drone to get the killer drone shot.

Speaker 1 I need another guy, professional photographer, to get the killer still image. I need videographer, probably two of them to get multiple angles.
So that's it's five or six and then me.

Speaker 1 It is amazing, like the sort of things that you do.

Speaker 1 They're obviously presented as like completely crazy and you've done it on the, on a whim, but the amount of work that actually has to go into them to make them happen well and without exception every time i come up with an idea it has to happen immediately

Speaker 1 so like my whole crew is completely used to like oh god what's he come up with this time and we're always excited about it it's always like generally like a pretty fun idea but i i super stress out my crew because they never have like advance notice to put something it's always like 15 foot ladder with rubber feet yeah yeah and then that's why i brought my executive assistant with me because like he's out there sourcing that ladder.

Speaker 1 And I told him like renting it would make more sense, but it'd be pretty gangster to buy it. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 It'd be pretty gangster to buy it. And like, I'm just picturing the bus because I travel on a tour bus all the time.
Yep.

Speaker 1 And we have like, you know, crazy assholes climbing up on the roof of our tour bus. And every time without fail, we notice it.
You can't have somebody on the roof of the bus and not feel it.

Speaker 1 We're like, oh, we've had people climb up on the roof of our bus and jump off and just break their ankle.

Speaker 1 One guy broke his ankle so bad. And I know what that's like.
You know, like, I've had my whole ankle shattered and screwed together. Like, it's bad, dude.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But, uh, but yeah, so

Speaker 1 the bus driver's going to know when I get on the roof. Like, there's just nothing.

Speaker 1 But it'd be too late. It's not going to prevent us from getting the photo.
Yeah. Sure, you'll get the photo.

Speaker 1 And then the video,

Speaker 1 I would imagine, would capture the bus driver coming out of the bus a little hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You'll be getting told off.

Speaker 1 Maybe getting, get told off a little bit.

Speaker 1 And bus drivers take no shit, by the way.

Speaker 1 They are really used to people getting at them. So

Speaker 1 they will flip. Right.

Speaker 1 And now

Speaker 1 we arrive at,

Speaker 1 I'm searching for the word. Is it existential? Like this dynamic, this double life that I live.

Speaker 1 Because that's kind of a dick thing to do. I'm going to piss off a bus driver on purpose.
And at the same time, I'm this like

Speaker 1 reformed, clean, and sober guy, like living a spiritual life, you know. Like before I can even have coffee in the morning, I have to meditate for 20 minutes, do full yoga, the whole deal.
I can't lie.

Speaker 1 I got to do the right thing.

Speaker 1 But there are some things that are not okay for Stephen Glover that are perfectly appropriate for Steve-O.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And also, you know.

Speaker 1 And plus the guy, the bus driver, no matter how mad he is, there's a decent chance he's going to get a stepladder out of it.

Speaker 1 I mean, also, you know, you got,

Speaker 1 we all are just on our own journeys trying to improve.

Speaker 1 And, you know, I think when you look at, you know, if these days you might imitate a bus driver a little bit, but you haven't even, you've gone to really great lengths not to even scratch the bus.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 But, you know, back in the day, I remember my friend getting a Steve-O live DVD of one of your tours, and one of the extras was just you on PCP for three days, going absolutely ballistic and being the worst person in the world.

Speaker 1 So, like, I think it's a pretty good step. Yeah, it's

Speaker 1 progress in the right direction.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I'll absolutely be ready to throw a hefty cash tip at the guy. Exactly.
And I'll promise to either pixelate or replace in Photoshop the license plate number.

Speaker 1 So we'll make it into like the nobody ever needs to know that that was this guy's bus. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 We will preserve his anonymity, throw him a big tip, maybe hook him up with an extension ladder, and life goes on off to the tower bridge.

Speaker 1 Which he'll probably happily drive you to.

Speaker 1 If that's his route, and he finally gets you off the roof of his bus and then he's like, right, I just got to get on with my day. And then he drives past and sees you on top of the

Speaker 1 guy.

Speaker 1 When I first sought to jump off the Tower Bridge 20 years ago, my idea was that I would pay for one of these sightseeing tours. You know, the top of the bus is open.
So they can't prevent me from it.

Speaker 1 It's easy to get in there. And I would pick one that just happens to go over the tower bridge.

Speaker 1 And then as it drove over the tower bridge, I would jump out of the open top of the Diker bus off the bridge. But when I went to go scout it out, it turned out that that sidewalk's like

Speaker 1 30 feet wide. I mean, there's no way you're going to make that.
It's red.

Speaker 1 You never think about how wide a sidewalk is until you're trying to jump out of a double-decker bus. Well, I think we've all been through that.

Speaker 1 Visually, that's even funnier, though. If you would have filmed that,

Speaker 1 and it says, you jumping off a bus and it's landed on the sidewalk

Speaker 1 on a sidewalk.

Speaker 1 Then I'm in surgery with the other jump off the bus asshole.

Speaker 1 And here's the most major question. Sure, I see that.

Speaker 1 Will I get arrested for the

Speaker 1 bus or the London Bridge? And they can't deport me because I'm British and I have a valid British passport.

Speaker 1 They can't arrest me. I can't picture either of these crimes being so serious that I would be locked up and precluded from doing any shows.
So that's not really a question mark.

Speaker 1 But a staph infection with my new tattoo could really put a hamper on my ability to perform. And I have the biggest show of my life in London.
It's Steve-O's Bucket List Special.

Speaker 1 And what's extra exciting about this conversation is that it's the very first formal promotion for this special

Speaker 1 that I've done yet. And I don't even know what the messaging is.
I can tell you that I'm positive that this special will not be on on Netflix or HBO

Speaker 1 or any other legitimate platform which presents comedy specials because it is actually triple X rated.

Speaker 1 Our friends are working on it

Speaker 1 and they've one of them has told me one of the things that you've got to do. And that's

Speaker 1 being done. That you have decided to do.
Yeah, like

Speaker 1 there's no way that obviously that's not going to be on any legit platform. Like part of this project and this special, in this special, like I actually blow a load.
I fully,

Speaker 1 not only do I, not only do I ejaculate on camera, butt naked with another man strapped to my back, but I do so simultaneously as I fall out of an airplane at 15, 15,000 feet in the air. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like that's the most ambitious. like absurd and uh i mean it's just challenging because you try and jack off to completion in a tiny little airplane.
Yeah, well, I mean, I think

Speaker 1 I'd be too worried that, because as far as I understand it with that.

Speaker 1 You filmed that already. Yeah, like that.
And that's called skyjacking, right? That's called skyjacking. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Just to be sure. My thing that I'd be most concerned about is that, as far as I understand, when you ejaculate, it's as you jump out the plate.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Which I would be quite worried that when I do that, that means I just haven't got my wits about me and I'm going to get everything wrong.

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, when you've got the other guy strapped to your back, you don't have to do anything. He's got your jizz flying up in his face and stuff.
I mean, that's definitely

Speaker 1 the blowback. Yeah, he definitely caught some,

Speaker 1 what do you call it?

Speaker 1 Crossfire.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Well, I think if you're agreeing to do that, you're not going to be able to do it.
I mean, dude, it was like it wasn't. Oh, yes.
It wasn't just challenging logistically.

Speaker 1 I mean, it was challenging to get the coverage. Thank God we had the camera in the right spot on the outside of the plane to really get the money shot.

Speaker 1 It's arguably the biggest success of my entire career for how challenging it was. Because consider this.
I'm sorry for laughing, Steve. Obviously, I agree with you, but like

Speaker 1 I found out that I was already in the airplane. That's when I found out that

Speaker 1 I needed to time the ejaculation within a very precise window of two minutes. Yeah.
Like that, that's counterintuitive to like, why, like, how's that? But come to learn that

Speaker 1 if if we if if we fall out of this airplane at any other time then we miss the drop zone right there's a very distinct area that we have to land in yeah and we're only over that the two minutes is that all you got yeah so for that now that's precision i'm doing the most challenging thing and it has to be precisely and uh like never mind finding the company that was okay with doing this under their banner sure the individual who was uh actively strapped to my back yeah And now for the biggest challenge of all, to tell a story in such a fashion that it makes a theater full of more than 1,000 people find it permissible, not just to watch me jack off to completion, but to watch it joyfully.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, and I did that. I pulled that off.
That's a feat. Like that, that's

Speaker 1 when it comes to the craft of stand-up comedy and storytelling.

Speaker 1 Like, like, I think that's testimony that i have for the last 13 years of persistently performing i have developed the craft to a point of mastery where in alabama thousands of people are watching me jack off and they're okay with that yeah well i think i think anyone going to one of your shows um i'd be surprised if they were I'd be surprised if they go to see Steve O in 2023 and they stand up and go, oh, this is too fun.

Speaker 1 I'm going home.

Speaker 1 Please, Steve.

Speaker 1 Here's my question about skyjacking. We should ask you questions about food, but I do have questions about you jacking off and jumping out of a plane.

Speaker 1 So you know that there's a specific time you've got to jump out and that you've got to ejaculate at that point.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's a green light on the wind on the thing where the green light goes on and that indicates it's okay to jump. So this is the green light.

Speaker 1 But for you, the green light means it's okay to jizz. Yeah, exactly.
And the green light's only going to be on for two minutes. Yeah.
And that's the window. So when I found this out,

Speaker 1 I think maybe this answers your question. I said, give me one minute's notice before that light comes on.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And what's that for? Are you going

Speaker 1 right?

Speaker 1 I've got to think about... Were you thinking about a certain thing that you had?

Speaker 1 A portable DVD player taped down, queued up to a particularly salacious moment in a film.

Speaker 1 When Cameron Diaz walks in in the mask?

Speaker 1 Is the mask? No, no, something about Mary where the guy's got the

Speaker 1 Ben Stiller thing. Yeah, that's all.

Speaker 1 That's all the guy strapped to your back was thinking about. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I bet you'll get better. But the reason for all of this,

Speaker 1 I've been performing live comedy now for 13 years. Yeah.
You know, like just grinding and comedy clubs. And I started 2010.

Speaker 1 And over the course of these 13 years, my comedy has improved and it's become a multimedia experience. Like at first, it was just me and a microphone.
That was my first comedy special.

Speaker 1 My second comedy special was me in a microphone and footage of the stories I told edited in in post-production to illustrate the stories in a multimedia fashion.

Speaker 1 But the footage was not with me on tour. Now for this third show, which is the bucket list, I filmed everything so that the footage could come with me on tour.

Speaker 1 And the footage had to be shit, that's not allowed on jackass. That was my deal.
I'm going to set my sights for like forbidden stunts. And the forbidden stunts were very clear.

Speaker 1 I had the idea for skyjacking for the last 20 years.

Speaker 1 Every time skydiving ever came up in conversation, I would never fail to say that my idea of skydiving.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 then there's like, God, the things I did for this show, like life-threatening, flagrantly illegal.

Speaker 1 For example, I got a medical professional to administer stolen general anesthesia drugs into an IV in my vein while I was riding a bicycle through a field.

Speaker 1 And that, like,

Speaker 1 this medical professional in disguise, I mean, it is just so illegal.

Speaker 1 Why is that disguise? They were wearing a hazmat suit with the face all like pulled. And yeah, you couldn't.

Speaker 1 But then we got another medical professional dressed as a clown, which was kind of appropriate.

Speaker 1 And he put a four-inch needle into my spine and injected a drug into my spinal cavity, which rendered me paralyzed while I was in a full sprint.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and that was before my buddies conducted experiments to determine just how paralyzed I was. So that one is so nuts.

Speaker 1 Actually, after that one, I found myself paralyzed on the ground, sobbing because I was just tears of joy were flowing because it's so hard for me to raise the bar from where it's at.

Speaker 1 And like, that was such a profound success that it brought me to tears.

Speaker 1 Today's episode of the Off Many podcast is brought to you by Real California Milk. Here's some statistics.

Speaker 1 99% of California dairies are family-owned, and these farm families have passed down their land, their values, and their love for dairy for generations, just like we pass down family recipes.

Speaker 1 Their care is what makes food taste taste comforting and familiar, from creamy mashed potatoes to rich mac and cheese, or that dessert that always brings everyone back to the table.

Speaker 1 So, this season, when you're cooking for your loved ones, look for the Real California Milk Seal. It means you're supporting real California farm families who make these meals possible.

Speaker 1 Well, listen, we always start the dream menu with still or sparkling water. Now, you've already said that you go around the world drinking every tap water.

Speaker 1 So would there be a certain type of tap water from a certain country that you would want to start your dream meal with?

Speaker 1 Because you, more than anyone, by the sound of things, would know what the best tap water in the world is. How about this? I'll go for a glass of Thames.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 To kick off the meal. Yeah, a glass of Thames.

Speaker 1 But could we carbonate the Thames? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're soda streaming.
Sparkling Thames. That sounds fantastic.
Sparkling Thames water. Sparkling Thames water.
Pub and obsorb bread.

Speaker 1 Publishing absorb bread, Steve. Pop and obsorb bread.

Speaker 1 I'm actually avoiding

Speaker 1 flour.

Speaker 1 yeah yeah i'm not just steering clear of it like there's really nothing nutritional about it and that's where you get all your pudge from and i'm at that age man you know you know that everyone's just listening to you talking about how it's going on

Speaker 1 and now you're steering clear of flour yeah flour and sugar i really really uh try to avoid man and then again this is the this is the double life i live so what what would you have that instead like just before the meal if we were to bring you out something is there anything that they sometimes bring out at restaurants for olives or whatever?

Speaker 1 If you want to do like some carrots and hummus, that sounds pretty killer. But the hummus has to be covered with Steve-O's hot sauce for your butthole.
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm familiar with Steve-O's hot sauce for your butthole.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well,

Speaker 1 I've watched Steve-O's podcast on YouTube, as you know. I've talked about it on the podcast, and often at the end, there are adverts for Steve-O's products.
Steve-O's many products,

Speaker 1 and you have no idea how many of them contain the phrase for your buttle.

Speaker 1 Steve-O's hot sauce for your butthole is the original.

Speaker 1 It wasn't really designed to be like explosively hot like this because, you know, frankly,

Speaker 1 I like hot sauce, but I don't need it to be like so crazy and so. You want some flavor in there?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's not that hot. And I'm frankly addicted to it.

Speaker 1 And I have a condiment disorder, so I will go through an entire bottle.

Speaker 1 Not necessarily in one sitting, but that's not unheard of.

Speaker 1 and then for the people who are just clamoring for even hotter i have steve oh's butthole destroyer hot sauce yeah and uh you know the butthole destroyer represents one-third of our sales yeah yeah my dad's actively working on um a campaign to sell the brand really he says he says what you've done with this brand you know it's like uh what were the the net sales in 2020 were like 700 000

Speaker 1 and then it went up and then like i forget what 2021 2022 was well over a million

Speaker 1 my dad says if you've done this well on your own then like somebody who's actually a distributor who's got the channels who's got you know like they could look at this and be like wow you know and and dad says if i throw in a commitment for you to um make uh appearances at promotional events to help this buyer get new accounts you know a limited number as well as uh a commitment to keep selling the hot sauce on tour.

Speaker 1 So are you and your dad going to go on Shark Tank, Drug's Dead? We're not even going on Shark Tank, but we're preparing the proposal for Mark Cuban. Right.
So you are.

Speaker 1 Not necessarily for Mark Cuban to be the buyer,

Speaker 1 but for Mark Cuban to point us to... Suffice it to say that I can reasonably expect to get a message directly to Mark Cuban, who I can reasonably expect will be amenable to reading it.

Speaker 1 And my dad is this business mastermind. And it's just so crazy that this stunt career, you know, I want to be a crazy famous asshole.

Speaker 1 You know, like that really kind of drove my father and I apart and then ultimately brought us closer together than everything. Dad's on my payroll now.

Speaker 1 Just yesterday, he said that he wants a bump in his retainer.

Speaker 1 He wants an increase in his monthly fee.

Speaker 1 And he's got me by the balls. I got to pay him.

Speaker 1 Let's get into your menu proper. What would be your dream starter?

Speaker 1 I don't think you're going to be shocked when I say pickled onion monster.

Speaker 1 That is not, as I understand it, I mean, and all my rules go out the window when it comes to pickled onion monster. It's even got a form of dairy in it.

Speaker 1 I think there's like some powder that's a derivative of milk. And I'm so, I'm so violently opposed to the factory farming industry.
And I believe that I'm just contributing to that.

Speaker 1 Like, it drives me nuts, man.

Speaker 1 I just throw my morals out the window when it comes to pickled onion monster munch because I love it that much. But we've got a big problem with this product.

Speaker 1 The problem is from bag to bag, the coding varies. Some bags are like exquisitely powerful with the flavor.
Yeah. And then the next bag, and it could be the next bag from the same box.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which has virtually no flavor.

Speaker 1 And it's just like you're eating this Styrofoam. But are you eating these back-to-back? Because I reckon you might, the first bag seems really strong, and then you go straight into another bag.

Speaker 1 You've just turned out your skin and you're immune to the flavor. It's not.

Speaker 1 And I can confirm that it's not the case because

Speaker 1 my lady made me shake on it that I'm limited to just one bag of monster munch per day. One bag of pickled onion monster munch per day.
So it's got to be the biggest bag I can possibly find.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. And with this coding problem,

Speaker 1 the new giant variation leans towards less flavorful. Oh, really? Yeah.
Like they're not coding those giant monster munch pieces effectively.

Speaker 1 So what my dream starter, and I actually propose this to I want to get in business with Monster Munch. Sure.
I really, really do.

Speaker 1 You can use Monster Munch Butthole destroyer steve monster munch for your butthole monster munch for your butthole

Speaker 1 not a bad idea but um we have talked about that on the podcast actually before with someone we talked about um i think amy gladhill we talked about um shoving monster munch up your butt oh really yeah we talked about different crisps that you could shove up i understand that monster munch has or uh there's pickled onion flavored just regular crisps now i haven't found them yet it might be yeah yeah sure yeah

Speaker 1 yeah i don't know if that's under the monster Munch brand name, but it, but, but in any case, I think I can safely say that of anybody with like a public profile,

Speaker 1 I am by far the most outspoken, known fanatic of Pickled Onion Monster Munch. I don't even know that there's a close second.
Well, no, we've seen the tattoo. I mean, that's it.

Speaker 1 Game over. I don't think that there's even a remotely close second.
So I'm not campaigning to be a spokesperson for pickled onion monster munch, but I'm sure my dad would include that in the proposal.

Speaker 1 But I do feel strongly that whether this actually happens in a very real world relationship between me and the Walker's company,

Speaker 1 Walker's Crisps, the maker,

Speaker 1 whether or not this actually happens in the real world, my dream is for there to be swap out the milk ingredient.

Speaker 1 There's all all kinds of alternatives to milk. There's no reason whatsoever to have actual milk from factory farmed dairy cows and double coated.
Yeah. Yeah.
Double coated.

Speaker 1 I think anybody who's a fan of Monster Munch is going to understand what I'm talking about. From one bag to the next, it's a wildly fluctuating level of flavor.

Speaker 1 Which must be gutting if you've said you're only going to have one bag a day. And then your bag of the day

Speaker 1 is underflavored. And that has happened on this trip.
Now, this is the first time I've ever limited myself to one bag per day. But the problem is that I have like an addictive person.

Speaker 1 I don't know how to moderate. You know, like I'm white knuckling and I'm losing my mind with just one bag a day.
But the problem is without these guard riddles.

Speaker 1 Like I would be visibly 10 pounds heavier by the time I tape the bucket list special. On pure monster munches.

Speaker 1 Pure monster munch. 100%.
So your dream starter then will be a massive bag pickled onion monster munch without the milk. Yeah, double coated.
Vegan, double-coated, pickled onion monster munch.

Speaker 1 Beautiful. And I wonder if I'm even getting that right.
I don't know how this product is produced. I don't know if it's a coating.
Maybe, maybe I'm making the wrong reference.

Speaker 1 However, they apply the flavoring to the baked corn.

Speaker 1 double it up man double it up and be mindful that even the double coated bags don't fluctuate find some way to uniformly coat them all equally yeah well I'll be interested to know why they're not.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I know.
I mean, I don't know. The monsters in the factory not doing their job.
I got it.

Speaker 1 And here's another wonderful question mark. By October, have I figured out this proposition? Yeah.
I made the proposal. Has it been accepted or rejected? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, if they, if they reject me, snub me, or ignore me, I'll be kicking myself for how much shine I've given them on your

Speaker 1 podcast.

Speaker 1 You'll get an email from me. You cut all the monster bunch stuff.

Speaker 1 Because no matter how much they offend me,

Speaker 1 I'm still helplessly addicted to their product. They could do whatever they want.

Speaker 1 They could wrong me. They could harm me.
They could assassinate my character and destroy my livelihood. And I cannot stop eating pickled monster.

Speaker 1 Where do you stand on the other flavors of Monster Munch? I don't care. Indifferent.

Speaker 1 I know that Flaming Hot is right up there in popularity.

Speaker 1 There was. I don't know if it is.

Speaker 1 Voice beef is the one that makes your hands stink. You absolutely stink forever.
You can have as many showers as you want. You still smell of beef pickled on your monthly.

Speaker 1 I'm very, very singular in my devotion to pickled ones. Now, we got to move off this topic.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Because now you can see your fingers going. I'm just more concerned with how much free publicity I've been.
And I haven't even proposed to them.

Speaker 1 I don't even know if I'm going to have a business arrangement with them.

Speaker 1 I think when we watch, you know, when the special comes out and we get to watch it and we watch skyjacking and you're there and we look at the laptop you're watching and actually it's just a pickle on your monster munch advert you're jacking it too.

Speaker 1 There was never a porno. I hope you washed your hands before you did skyjacking.

Speaker 1 You know what? I don't believe in washing my hands, man. Well, even after you've eaten pickled on your monster munch, you're not going to jack off after that.
Same rule applies as with tap water.

Speaker 1 Immunity.

Speaker 1 You know what? Your immune system is a muscle and it needs to be exercised straight up.

Speaker 1 You know, if you, if you live in an incubator and shield yourself from germs, you're just a pussy that gets sick all the time. You know, I have missing teeth.
So

Speaker 1 I got a partial denture.

Speaker 1 And my guy who sells merch, you know, he collects the cash and he's like, like really scared of cash. And so I just threw my denture in a bag of cash.

Speaker 1 like the other night and then pulled it out and put it in my put it back in my mouth and he's like

Speaker 1 so yeah so i don't i don't wash my hands i don't believe in it i shook your hand when you arrived here you dirty bastard yeah you filthy motherfucker

Speaker 1 let's go on to your dream main course okay dream main course pick it on your monster money

Speaker 1 and people are like like gonna be expecting me to say say something vegan. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like I've been in the past, like a particularly outspoken and I'll even admit shamefully, like leaning militant on vegan. Like I do just tremendously care about animals and

Speaker 1 I'm violently opposed to factory farming and all of that. And been very outspoken about that.
And I was loudly vegan for four years

Speaker 1 and then

Speaker 1 reintroduced seafood into my diet. Then I went back to vegan.
Then I reintroduced, you know, I've been kind of bouncing back and forth. And where it's left off now, I'm pescatarian.

Speaker 1 So we're going to have fish on this. I believe that eating fish is good for me.

Speaker 1 I think a lot of these fake vegan meats, highly processed soy and wheat, which your body just simply does not recognize as food.

Speaker 1 I mean, like I went for one of these colonic hydrotherapy where they stick a tube up your butt and flush it out. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 You did this as you jumped out of a plane.

Speaker 1 I actually just did this as a

Speaker 1 whole time. And it's crazy because, like,

Speaker 1 it's like you're laid down and with your legs up on these things. The tube goes up your butt.
And there's like... Who did it on Jackass dressed as Santa or something? That was Knoxville.

Speaker 1 Knoxville did it. For the Christmas episode of the first season.
A member of the Plosive team, who are the people who make this podcast, has a question about Knoxville, if I may ask it. Go for it.

Speaker 1 How is he still as handsome as he is after all the stuff that he's done that could have smashed his face up? He's been

Speaker 1 very protective of

Speaker 1 his face

Speaker 1 with the moisturizer.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 he's shockingly handsome. He's the captain.

Speaker 1 So I guess all of you have got what might appear to be a death wish, just do whatever, but you've all got these little things where you will take care of yourself.

Speaker 1 You're avoiding flour. Knoxville's moisturizing.
There's like different...

Speaker 1 you've all got different ways that you are actually practicing self-care amongst all of this. I'm full-blown like recovery guy.

Speaker 1 So like, you know, it's not just avoid flour, but like, you know, clean and so like I'm, I'm like, with respect to 12-step fellowships, like, I try not to go too into them, but I've balls deep in many.

Speaker 1 It's like identifying as a sex addict,

Speaker 1 as a drug addict, as an alcoholic,

Speaker 1 as a compulsive overeater. How does the sex addict program react to you using the term bulls deep?

Speaker 1 It's a good question. And how does it deal with skyjacking like that?

Speaker 1 I don't know if they've ever had to

Speaker 1 factor that into their rules before. Just segueing from that into what fishy wants.

Speaker 1 You know what? I believe pretty strongly as it relates to eating the seafood that death isn't something to be like feared. I mean, maybe dying

Speaker 1 if it's extremely painful. Like, of course, nobody wants pain and suffering.
But once we're dead, I believe strongly that everything's okay.

Speaker 1 I think that it's really, really silly to grieve for the person who's died.

Speaker 1 You know, whenever somebody loses a loved one, I emphatically implore them to grieve selfishly because they miss that person. Just don't feel sorry for the person because they're okay now.

Speaker 1 Let's agree on that. They're okay now.
Some people would say they're just in a void of nothingness. Other people would say they're in the warm embrace of

Speaker 1 our creator. You know, I'm open to the warm embrace part.
I watch all these near-death experience videos and

Speaker 1 I know you do. Yeah.
I'm glad to talk about it.

Speaker 1 I'm just glad you talk about the near-death experience videos you watch. So we're all one thing.
We're all one thing and we go back door stores. Everything's okay.

Speaker 1 So i don't think that death or being you're about to choose a human being as your main course you're about to eat a dead person no i but i just think as when it comes to fish

Speaker 1 of a fish that has lived its life swimming in the ocean and its natural habitat you know has had a the life it was intended to have

Speaker 1 and then sure it gets it gets caught and that's a bummer but it's pretty quick bummer like uh it had a great life it had a quick death and then now like when I eat it, my body recognizes it as food.

Speaker 1 Like I'm pretty comfortable with that.

Speaker 1 You know, I'm pretty comfortable with that with one caveat that the seas are just wildly overfished and the environment is just not, it's not good for the world necessarily to eat fish.

Speaker 1 Like the whole ecosystem of the planet is just so challenged and thrown off kilter by overfishing and all the extinctions and everything else.

Speaker 1 But we're getting getting kind of into the weeds when i get that far and i just got a vasectomy so that i don't have it on my conscience to bring a human into this world that is so fast going down the drain

Speaker 1 sure so i eat fish and we're going to go with sea bass

Speaker 1 yeah and i think i think that that's particular i think that's particularly uh incendiary yeah like uh inflammatory like uh like offensive because i i think that on some level sea bass is is endangered.

Speaker 1 I think that's why it costs so damn much.

Speaker 1 I don't know. You'd like a CBAS.
You'd like some C-Bass as your main. It's the shortest gap we've had between vasectomy and CBAS on the podcast.

Speaker 1 By the way, the bucket list features a bit called the Vasectomy Olympics.

Speaker 1 Now, this is what I was about to ask because I was going to say, if you're Steve-O and you're getting a vasectomy, surely you don't just get a vasectomy and you leave it.

Speaker 1 Surely there's some footage to be had there. Yeah, and it is in all of its glory in the bucket list special.
I mean, fantastically so.

Speaker 1 And it is the original culprit for, I'm not going to say Legions, but I've been at this tour for a few years.

Speaker 1 And we absolutely average at least one person in the audience completely passing out after the vasectomy Olympics. We also have people passing out after the spinal tap.

Speaker 1 And there's two other videos that have been culprits too, but less frequently.

Speaker 1 So we got four videos that make people literally pass out. And like, this is a phenomenon that

Speaker 1 I never anticipated. I've never heard about people passing out during jackass movies.
But yeah, as soon as I went out on this tour.

Speaker 1 Submits that I fast forward.

Speaker 1 And what's so crazy on every performance, you know, before the Vasectomy Olympics, I say, as a rule, before I play this video for you, this masterpiece, before I play you this masterpiece, I have to say something for legal reasons, which is that we are all here at our own risk.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
That's what I say before my comedy gigs. Nice.
Let people know. There are exceptions.
People don't pass out every show, but we've literally had as many as 11 people pass out in one show.

Speaker 1 So the average is absolutely no less than one person per show. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 But there's that rare, you know, and who knows, man? Maybe London's tough dudes. I don't know.
I'd pass out, I reckon. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 And I was shocked that the vasectomy Olympics went on to make people pass out

Speaker 1 because it's like a minimally invasive procedure. Yeah.
Like you don't have to be totally awake. Like

Speaker 1 when I watched back the footage in the edit, my main concern was that it was just plain underwhelming.

Speaker 1 You know, it was funny. There was great banter with the doctor and then the bareback horseback riding immediately afterwards and like like all the other challenges that which immediately preceded.

Speaker 1 I don't think that sounds underwhelming, Stephen.

Speaker 1 It's not, it's not.

Speaker 1 Plus the payoff shot at the end, the two days later shot of the, just the plum that my ball bag turned into. Do you find yourself when you've done something like that?

Speaker 1 So say you've done the Vasectomy Olympics and then you know that a few days later you want to get the shot of your balls.

Speaker 1 If during those days you're in the shower and you're looking because you're going to be inspecting yourself every day.

Speaker 1 If they're just going back to normal pretty quickly you've disappointed. It would have been it would have been heartbreaking.

Speaker 1 Your dream side dish.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go ahead and have

Speaker 1 what do you call it?

Speaker 1 Puree mashed potatoes kind of a deal. Yeah.
With a lot of Steve-O's hot sauce for your butthole. I don't know if I've emphasized it enough, but I get high on my own supply.
That shit is good. You do.

Speaker 1 And it's available on Amazon, too. Steve-O's hot sauce for your butthole.

Speaker 1 And it's available in the UK, on Amazon and the UK. So you want loads of Steve-O's hot sauce for your butthole in the potato.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I want loads of your listeners to sample Steve-O's hot sauce. It's that good.
Oh, that's coming across. It's that good.

Speaker 1 You've not buried that message.

Speaker 1 Head on over over to Amazon.

Speaker 1 And if you're really brave, try the butthole destroyer because you know how the ingredients list starts with what comprises the largest quantity of, you know, you go the top three ingredients of Steve-O's butthole destroyer are the three hottest peppers on earth.

Speaker 1 Scorpion, Ghost, and Carolina Reaper. Yeah.
One of those is Naja Jaloki or whatever. I don't know.
That's the ghost pepper, I think. That ghost, okay.

Speaker 1 So you've been on hot ones. Yeah, twice.

Speaker 1 And then they've got like side ones, like Truth or Dad. Oh, yeah, you've done those things.

Speaker 1 So you've done, everyone who's seen Hot Ones has seen people do Dabomb, and people go nuts for it. If you can compare the butthole destroyer to Dabomb.
The Butthole Destroyer is way gnarlier.

Speaker 1 And the reason for that is that they've got a...

Speaker 1 And then I probably shouldn't even say this because

Speaker 1 I love them. Their whole organization,

Speaker 1 they've just been very good to me. but butthole destroyer they wouldn't want to subject the caliber of talent yeah that they have on on their show

Speaker 1 to to that level of destruction to their butthole

Speaker 1 yeah yeah

Speaker 1 when you went on it is what you put hot sauce in your eye i did yeah not the destroyer i would never pour the destroyer in my eye but the butthole strictly yeah yeah that's the destroyer i did put it in my butthole yeah

Speaker 1 steve's stevo's eyeball destroyer is coming out yeah well yeah i mean yeah and i think that might be why i'm wearing glasses because i've squeezed so much lemon juice and and hot sauce in my eyes over the years but yeah the the og basic steve-o's hot sauce for your butthole I've poured it into my eyes.

Speaker 1 I did on Gordon Ramsey's show. Did that on hot ones.
I think I would like to consider myself retired from pouring hot sauce in my eyeballs. You've done it enough times.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 There comes a time in every man's life where they have to retire from pouring hot sauce in their eyes. Right.
And you know what?

Speaker 1 There's zero doubt in my mind.

Speaker 1 I would put a substantial bet on this that I have poured more hot sauce in my eyes than any man who's ever lived.

Speaker 1 And yet, year after year, I am snubbed by Guinness.

Speaker 1 Snubbed. Do you know how many undeniable world records I've been snubbed

Speaker 1 for by Guinness? Yeah, yeah. Surely skyjacking's got to be a world record.

Speaker 1 One would think. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But you've got to be able to really qualify. It's got to be demonstrably provable that it's a world record.
Yeah, sure.

Speaker 1 So the one I'm most confident in, I would submit that nobody has barfed, vomited on screen in both television. and film.
I'd like, come on. I know Lance Bangs, man.
Lance Bangs Lord puking.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, he is. He is.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 the validity of those vomits, I think, can might come into question. Sorry, Lance.
I don't know. I think there's a little bit of gagging going on, not necessarily

Speaker 1 full-blown puking. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, I've full-blown puking.

Speaker 1 Nobody can touch me, man. And

Speaker 1 that's so demonstrable.

Speaker 1 Come on, Guinness. Come on.

Speaker 1 What's your beef?

Speaker 1 What did I ever do to you?

Speaker 1 What did I ever do? And you know what? Like, one of the bucket list bits

Speaker 1 is

Speaker 1 a demonstrable, undeniable world record. I won't even say what it is.
I won't even say what it is. That's more.
But I'll have you know that I've yet to hear from Guinness. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you've contacted Guinness. No.

Speaker 1 That's true.

Speaker 1 That might be a shortcut.

Speaker 1 Your dream drink. I am a humongous fan of Bloody Mary mix with no alcohol.
Virgin Mary. Right.

Speaker 1 Whenever I order one, because my sobriety is so paramount to me, I say, I would like a virgin Bloody Mary. No alcohol.
Yeah. Just the mix.

Speaker 1 Like, go real double Dutch on that and just get a little bit of a drink. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Triple redundancy.

Speaker 1 Or double redundancy. Yeah, you don't want any confusion there.

Speaker 1 Is there a place where you've got like the best one where you're like, oh, they nailed that Virgin Mary? Like, that was the best one. I mean, you get enough Steve-O's hot sauce for your bottle.

Speaker 1 Steve-O, we've had Dan Aykroyd on the podcast in the past. What a great guy.
At the moment, you're doing what was previously known as Dan Aykroyd Crystal Skulling with the hot sauce. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 So he was promoting his products. Well, his dream meal is a wonderful dream meal like yours is, but Crystal Skull went with every course.
That's good.

Speaker 1 Crystal Soul vodka, which is the thing that we're removing from your bloody Mary.

Speaker 1 And can you believe

Speaker 1 how much of this valuable promotion was diverted to the Walker's company?

Speaker 1 We arrive at your dream dessert, Steve.

Speaker 1 Now, I haven't been doing dessert, and this kills me because I am a gnarly sugar addict, man. I'm a gnarly sweet tooth.
And like,

Speaker 1 I remember making it from whenever that first Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie came out. It was like maybe 2019, maybe 2018, I don't know.

Speaker 1 During that Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie, I got a tub, like a bucket of caramel popcorn.

Speaker 1 Was this in America? In America. Yeah.
So like the,

Speaker 1 it was, it was, it was a, a plastic one,

Speaker 1 which is pre-packaged. It wasn't like where they scoop it out of the popcorn machine, but it was, you know.

Speaker 1 It's not

Speaker 1 wrong to call it a bucket.

Speaker 1 It is a bucket of caramel popcorn. And there's this licorice product in America known as red vines.
And I got a jumbo pack.

Speaker 1 I sat there in that Joker movie with just taking a handful of the caramel popcorn, putting it in my mouth, and as I chewed it, inserting a bundle of red vines and kind of chewing it all up together in concert.

Speaker 1 I found that to be delicious.

Speaker 1 I mean, it was like, it was, it was, I ate the entire tub and the whole jumbo pack of red vines.

Speaker 1 And I don't even want to know how many grams of sugar that was,

Speaker 1 but that represented for me at the time a rock bottom. And the next day I reached out to somebody who I knew in the food program and said, I need help.
And that person became a mentor to me.

Speaker 1 And for subsequent weeks, maybe months, every meal that I ate, I photographed and texted a photo.

Speaker 1 So that was my accountability in the food program. And that sort of food sobriety lasted for about, I want to say 10 months.
I made it almost a year. And then it was during the pandemic.

Speaker 1 Tony Hawk is a partial owner in a restaurant down in San Diego.

Speaker 1 And my lady and I were at Tony Hawk's restaurant. I was on my best behavior.
And then, you know, end of our meal, this waiter comes by and says, hey, somebody got an order wrong or something.

Speaker 1 We've got this extra dessert.

Speaker 1 It was this like lava, this chocolate lava cake so they you know i hate it like and they just put it on the table and i was like man like screw it you know i'm with my girl where you know and i had one bite of that thing and i ate the whole thing and then it was just like the the the the cage door opened that little crack and the whole gorilla came out man yeah and that's how that's how i am like that's it's it was just i went into full-blown relapse mode and when i do that i i it's very hard for me to get back on the rails of course, I'm already planning for the second I'm finished filming my bucket list special.

Speaker 1 I will eat 24 bags of pickled onion monster munch in a row. Cool.
You got to celebrate.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And that might send me off the rails.
I don't know. But where I sit today, I will say that I'm going to just not have dessert.
But then again, we've got a question mark.

Speaker 1 Who knows come October where I'm going to be at with my food program? I might be in relapse mode. So hypothetically, if I am in relapse mode, I want every single goddamn dessert on your menu.
Sure.

Speaker 1 Well, here's the thing. Hit me with some because I'll tell you, well, you know, it is any dessert in the world.
It's literally what we've got. All right.
Well, I'll tell you this.

Speaker 1 I went into, I forget what it was called, but it was, I was in

Speaker 1 maybe Manchester. And is it Costa? That's the coffee place.

Speaker 1 And goddamn, I went into Costa to get a flat white and I looked at their display of desserts and every damn one of them. I was just like, man, if I didn't care, like every one of them,

Speaker 1 like I was shocked at what an unbelievably appealing selection of cakes and pies and just like, dude, I wanted it all. Anything with salty caramel is going to be a priority.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Salty caramel is great. I mean, dude, I'm pretty bad with sugar.
I really don't care. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, I think either no dessert or all the desserts in the world is a good answer. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 What's great about this, Stevo, is normally when guests come in and pick no dessert or pick something not sweet for dessert, James gets really angry because he's a sugar fiend.

Speaker 1 He gets angry with the guests, but because you connected it to your recovery journey and addiction, he can't say anything. I'd like to sit here and go, well, I have to let him have no dessert again.

Speaker 1 Normally, I'm going through the roof at this point, Steve. Yeah, I mean, we could like, what's the one that's like, is it creme brulee where you break through like the caramel

Speaker 1 and then you just get into the liquid caramel? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, so it's not, you think it's a creme brulee. You crack the hard caramel and it's just a bowl of caramel.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, that sounds good. Yeah, it's good.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well,

Speaker 1 I'll read your menu back to you now. See how you feel about it.
You would like a glass of sparkling Thames water.

Speaker 1 Then you want carrots and hummus with Steve-O's hot sauce for your butthole in the hummus. Starter, pickled onion monster munch vegan, double-coated.
Main course, sea bass.

Speaker 1 Side dish, pureed mashed potatoes with Steve-O's hot sauce for your butthole. Drink, a Virgin Mary, no alcohol.
Just the mix.

Speaker 1 Do you want some sea-offs hot sauce?

Speaker 1 Dessert, you would like either no dessert or every dessert in the world. Correct.
That's fantastic, Steve-O. That's a good, that's a good menu.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 I love that menu. And my little satanic dog was pretty well behaved.
Pretty well behaved. Anybody in the, are you guys interested in a dog that cannot be around other dogs, cats, or children?

Speaker 1 Well, me and James both have cats, and Benito's got a dog, so I think probably not.

Speaker 1 Right. Thank you for the offer, though.
Yeah, for sure, man. Thanks so much for coming to the dream restaurant, Steve-O.
Thank you, Steve-Oh.

Speaker 1 Well, there we are.

Speaker 1 We got ackroided. We got ackroided big time.

Speaker 1 But actually, to be to be fair to Steve-O,

Speaker 1 he had a conversation with us, he didn't just do his menu, yeah, yeah, yeah. He did talk to us and he heard the words that we said, yes, and responded to those.
Um, I love that.

Speaker 1 I was happy to just sit back and let Steve-O talk. That was fantastic.
That's all you want, yeah. Just let, you know, he's an entrepreneur, yes, he's a madman, yes, but he's also very mindful, yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, you know, the guy has layers, yeah. So, uh,

Speaker 1 you know, from one sentence to the next, you don't know what the subject's going to be, Yeah. And

Speaker 1 that's what you want on a podcast, I guess, every now and again. I'll be honest, when he took his trousers down within two minutes, I thought we're in for a wild ride here.

Speaker 1 I thought I'm going to see, at some point, I'm probably going to see up this guy's butthole and out of his mouth.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 1 he's already pulling his pants down. Yeah, but that tattoo was insane.
It was brilliant. It was a genuinely good tattoo.
Yeah. Which we hope isn't now absolutely muffled and falling out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, as you're hearing this, listener, hopefully you'll be hearing it. Hopefully, we won't have had to pull the entire episode because...
We're not pulling it. If he dies, we're going to put it out.

Speaker 1 What, you think Steve-O wouldn't want this to be released? Oh, yeah, Steve-O says, he said to us, and I don't know what's going to make the edit and what isn't.

Speaker 1 But at one point, he said that if someone dies, you can mourn how you feel and you feel bad. But don't feel sorry for the person.
They're fine. So Stevo dies, we're putting this out.

Speaker 1 I think more realistically, you can go and see Steve-O's tattoo in a museum because his leg will have to be amputated. Yeah, yeah.
Yes. Yeah, yeah.
So he won't have that leg anymore. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But you'll be able to see the tat somewhere. Yeah.
Go and watch his special. Go and watch all the jackass stuff, the wild boys stuff.
Listen to Steve-O's podcast. Yeah.
What a guy.

Speaker 1 Steve-O's Wild Ride, the podcast is called. Yes.
He obviously did not say a line of wasabi. Yeah.
He did say Fizzy Thameswater. He said Fizzy Thameswater.

Speaker 1 You know, there's a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 He said a lot of things to the point where...

Speaker 1 We just had to take it that his main course was just sea bass and we don't know anything else about that. Yeah, we didn't really have time to delve into the more foodie things that we normally do.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So it was just sea bass, pureed potato, Steve-O's hot sauce.
For your butthole. Yeah, Steve-O, for your butthole, hot sauce.

Speaker 1 I mean, check it out on Amazon. I don't think we need to plug it anymore, do we? No.

Speaker 1 Of all the things in the world,

Speaker 1 I think that's fine. Thank you very much for listening.
We will see you again next week. Thank you very much.
