Buy Steve-O's book here: https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/stephen-steve-o-glover/a-hard-kick-in-the-nuts/9780306826771/Steve-O is an icon. Everyone knows him as one of the faces of Jackass, but what most people don't know is that Steve-O is more than just a stunt man known for falling down stairs in a bellhop cart or lighting himself on fire. In this two-hour interview, I feel like I really spoke to the actual human being, Stephen Glover, and not the extreme stunt-man from MTV. We dove into the obvious stuff I know you want to hear, such as old Jackass stories, his most painful injuries, and how his body is holding up. Beyond that though, we dove into some really deep subjects, such as his struggles with growing up as a "rich kid", Buddhism, and the profound lessons he's learned through a multi-decade life of getting paid to injure yourself. Steve-O is addicted to attention, and I was glad to give him some!Executive Producer and Host: Dr. Mike VarshavskiProduced by Dan Owens and Sam BowersArt by Caroline WeigumCONTACT: [email protected]
