Jackass's Steve-O: "I believed I was going to fail at life... I turned to the video camera!"

A little different to my music-focused chats, but this was a lot of fun. In 2023, Steve-O (of Jackass fame) brought his seriously X-rated Bucket List Tour to the UK, and I interviewed him about it for a newspaper. Having attended one of the shows a few weeks later, it was everything Steve promised and more: a 'multimedia comedy show', filled with stories and filmed stunts way too extreme for Jackass... This chat actually went on for nearly an hour but we dropped off due to issues with Zoom, so this is a truncated clip. Unfortunately there isn't video of the second part, but there is audio floating around somewhere! I'll upload it if I find it. 00:00 - Intro 00:39 - Moving around during youth and spending teenage years in London 03:08 - Touring and the format of the show 04:29 - Taking stunts to new and "illegal" extremes, and preparing the audience 08:38 - Pain tolerance? 10:14 - Thoughts and ideas about the human experience 18:34 - With the impact of social media, what if Jackass had first aired today? 20:52 - Skateboarders were the first content creators #jackass #jackassbestandlast #steveo #wildride #comedy
