Joe Rogan Experience #960 - Steve-O

*sad music*
I'm here with confirmed cosmonaut Steve-O. A man who's been to space. A man who
knows about the atmosphere.
I can't say I've been to space. I went up in a Russian MiG fighter jet to the
edge of the Earth's atmosphere.
How high was that? Do you know?
I fucking forget shit. I fucking forget. But it wasn't that much higher than,
you know.
So a normal flight is like what? 30,000 feet.
And then what's like- I've heard they go higher, right? They can go up to like
35,000 for a commercial flight?
I want to say that it might have been like not much more than 50,000, but I can't
back that up. I don't remember.
It was shockingly less than you would imagine.
Oh, that's you. Oh, wow. You made a video of it?
Yeah, it was for Wild Boys. Oh, no shit. Oh my god. Look, it's going straight
up. Oh my god.
They used a lot of stock footage. But at the same time, on the way down, this
motherfucker did twirls and fuck.
It was like the gnarliest rollercoaster ride ever. And this is me filming
myself. Like, look at that, dude.
Oh my god. It's like, it's fucking night up there. Wow, that's incredible.
That shows, for anybody who wants to say that the fucking world is flat, that's
fucking proof, motherfuckers.
Well, you can see the curvature of the earth. Wow, that's nuts. And so when you
were doing this, did you get close to blacking out?
Like, how was the g-force? No. I didn't get close to blacking out or anything
like that. And I thought that it would be one thing.
What it was was I was just fucking claustrophobic, man. It was cramped in a
tiny little... I get claustrophobic, dude. I didn't like that.
Did you, uh, did they tell you how many g-forces you were doing?
Ah, that's another thing I can't remember. But, uh, I feel like there was more
g-shit going on when we did the, uh, the zero gravity plane.
Oh, okay. Which, uh, you know, it just kind of goes along and then it does a
big bell curve kind of deal, so you become weightless.
Right. And, uh, that one, you could feel yourself really, like, being pulled
down with the Gs or whatever.
I did a flight with the F-A-18 with the Blue Angels once. Uh, they took me up
and they take you out.
It's, you go down to San Diego and then you travel east, like, through the
desert. It's weird.
I don't know which air force base is out there. It's, like, real close to, I
guess, close to Arizona or maybe even in Arizona.
But, uh, we got to seven and a half Gs. We were doing these crazy things where
you, you go, like, through these mountain ranges
and you're only, like, a hundred, maybe two hundred feet off the ground, really
low to the ground, like...
Turning and twisting and fucking bananas. Dude.
Yeah, dude.
So they took you up in Wild Boys and, uh, what year was this? Was it okay? We
were cool with the Russians then?
Right, that was 2005? Yeah, 2005. That was our last ever Wild Boys tournament.
Oh yeah? Yeah. And, uh, we brought Knoxville with us.
Knoxville, we had some, uh, like, Russian army kind of dudes and then Knoxville
was like,
"Shoot me with the nine millimeter gun with the rubber bullet while the dog
bites me."
What?
Yeah, he was going for it. And, uh, our director, Jeff Tremain, was like,
"Hey, if you still have this in you, why don't we not do it for TV? Let's make
another movie."
And that was why we stopped doing Wild Boys and made Jackass number two.
If you still have this in you. Oh, you still want to get it beaten out with
rubber bullets.
We do. A lot of shit happened on that fucking, that last Wild Boys trip, man.
There was, uh, we always, we had this practice of, like, um, for the censors,
you know, like,
it's called standards and practices. They'll be like, you know, they'll give
back notes like,
"You can't, you know, show this." And so we would film what we call red herrings,
like, just blatantly ridiculous shit that's never allowed, never gonna be
allowed on TV.
But then we'll be like, "Okay, well, we'll cut this out."
And so then we'll be able to keep some other shit.
Right.
So we would always go out of our way to film this fucked up stuff.
And in Russia, we, um, me and one of the guys from the, from the crew,
put, like, put on these animal suits, the, um, what was it at the time?
It wasn't panda bears, it was polar bears, with a big fucking, like, mascot
head.
And we fucking hired two hookers and had full on fucking hookers came in, like,
full porno.
We filled full, full fucking porno. And we included, we included that in the
episode.
You know, and the notes came back from standards and practices.
Like, can you, like, please, like, um, that you have to take out the, you know,
the...
Cock sucking?
Yeah, the polar bear getting his dick sucked, like, the whole thing.
And, uh, yeah, and, and there was, there was a little bit of fucking hooker
action in that one, you know?
And I'm not necessarily that stoked about it, but, um, there was, uh, we went
to, we went to, like, a, a whorehouse.
Brought this, um, hooker back to the hotel, right?
Did, like, a whole thing.
And then in, in, in the, and, and, and I don't think I ever could even have sex
with a, with a hooker without, like, snuggling after.
I want to, like, snuggle and something, you know?
I'm like, oh, no, just stay with me.
I want to, like, you know, cuddle and stuff.
And in the morning, this, this hooker, um, she just tells me, like, how much,
how much I owe her.
Right.
And I'm like, that's fucking outrageous.
There's no fucking way.
I was like, I was like, basically, I don't care if your fucking pimp wants to
kick my ass and fucking kill me.
I'm not paying that fucking much.
It was that much?
How much was it?
I forget.
It was so long ago.
But, uh, but yeah, I was outraged.
So it wasn't negotiated beforehand?
It, it, it just, it just wasn't in that case.
Exactly.
I remember clearly.
I was like, you, you want that much?
And I said, I said, I'll give you this much.
And that's how much you get.
Whoa.
Period.
And we, and we, and we, we, we, we came out, right?
Like, uh, you know, I got to go film.
And, uh, walking through, uh, the, the lobby Knoxville is down there having
breakfast.
This hooker comes walking by Knoxville and she says, that's not Steve-o.
That's cheapo.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
And, I mean, I was never even that much into like hookers, but, um, but, but,
you know,
and, and looking back on it, I guess I, I really fucking kind of had sex with a
bunch of hookers
because, um, I had this girlfriend and, um, you know, like I work like a
program of recovery.
I got to be honest and shit.
And I had this girlfriend, she was an English chick and she says, um, have you
ever had sex
with a prostitute?
And I'm like, oh, fuck, you know?
Right.
And I tell her, uh, like, you know, I, I, I never did until I was in, in, in,
in England
one time.
And, uh, you know, there's, we did this gumball rally where you race cars with
all the rich
guys.
And, uh, you know, they're getting hookers and they, they, they, they got me
one.
And, you know, I brought her to the, I told her to the whole story about how I
was like,
can you give me a massage?
And she's giving me a back rub.
And this hooker says, this is one expensive back rub.
And I felt like she was making fun of me.
And I said, ah, fuck it.
And I put on some Motley Crue and put on a rubber and I humped her.
Okay.
You know, I told this story to my girlfriend.
She says, I said, okay, what, uh, did you, uh, was there, were there any other
ones?
And I'm like, ah, fuck, you know, I'm like, well, in New Zealand, you know,
like there was
a massage parlor and it turned out that, that they just have sex with you, you
know, like,
and, and it's a joke.
I, you know, it's like, I didn't, I've like, I felt like I was having sex with
a prostitute,
but she was a masseuse.
Like she says, no, another one.
And I'm like, well, there's a time in Indonesia.
Oh no.
So it just kept rolling off.
Yeah.
And the thing was that at that exact time we were, she, like, she arranged this
trip to
go to Cornwall.
Uh, it's this little surf town in England because I like collect pictures with,
uh, you know,
of like different countries where, you know, and I call it my surf passport and
I'm like,
I want to get a surfing photo so I can include England.
And she's like, she says, I don't know why you're making a surf passport.
You should have a fucking hooker passport.
It's so funny too.
Like driving over here, I was like thinking, man, fuck.
I'm so nervous about going on, on, you know, Joe Rogan's podcast because how
can I touch the
last time?
It was so epic.
Like there's never been another interview that I've ever done that has got,
that I've
gotten more feedback.
Like people just being like, dude, I fucking heard that.
Like people are like inspired people who are struggling with, uh, substance
abuse.
And they're like, man, like that helped me, helped me get sober.
Like, I just like, I mean, Howard Stern, like you name it.
Any interview I've ever done in my life, like it has, this has been the one
that I, that I
hear about the most and that I get the most positive feedback.
Fucking grateful to you for that, man.
Well, I'm grateful for you coming on.
You can't compare yourself to yourself though.
Don't ever do that.
Hey, I get that.
Fuck you over.
It'll get you every time.
I get that.
I know.
I saw that like on Jim Jeffries, uh, the Jim Jeffries does.
I think he even did that on his, on his special.
He's like, oh, this special isn't as good as my last special.
He said that on this special.
Oh, you can't do that.
Right.
But that's the thing.
Like, I'm not going to do that too much, but.
Gotta be in the moment.
Right.
In the moment, Stevo.
Thank you for that, Joe.
Yeah.
You're an in the moment guy.
I'm pretty, pretty good about that.
But, but I should say I'm not going to like get in my head and I'm not going to
trip myself
out, but I did want to come in hot.
So I just fucking came out with the hooker stories.
That's good move.
It's always, you're going from edge of space to earth isn't flat.
Oh, dude.
And, and, and, and Chris Pawnee is my, my wild boys coaster guy.
I remember at one point saying, uh, something to the effect of like, uh, ah,
you know, like,
I'm an astronaut, you know, I, and, and Pawnee has fucking nailed me so hard.
It was so fucking funny.
He says, he says, uh, you're not, not a virgin because you go to the edge of
the girl's vagina.
That's a good point.
Right.
You kind of have to cross the goal line.
What was more dangerous doing Jackass or doing wild boys?
Ah, dude, it had to be wild boys a thousand times over, man.
Cause I watched Jackass and I go, wow, these guys are so crazy.
But I watched wild boys and literally my asshole just tightens up.
Oh, dude.
My toes curl.
I start clenching my hands together.
I can't do, I don't know how the fuck you guys did it and got away with it.
Right.
There's no question, man.
Like, uh, fucking lions, tigers, bears, venomous reptiles.
Yeah.
When that lion climbed a tree and bit your fucking hat.
Here's the thing.
Right.
And here's the thing.
And, and, and there is a distinction about this.
Um, Jackass would completely fade.
There's so much integrity in Jackass.
And Knoxville like would not like, uh, ever.
People says, is this stuff you do real?
Fuck yeah.
It's real.
A hundred percent.
And, and with wild boys, there is no, uh, I mean, you, you, you, you, what you
see is,
it happened.
But what we were dishonest about with wild boys is like locations.
We would pretend that we were in, in Africa when really they had this fucking,
uh, in California,
there's a company called like, uh, Hollywood animals, right?
Where they've got like, uh, you know, whatever.
They've got the fucking lions and the tigers and shit.
Now, when we went over to Africa, the first time we brought the zebra suit,
every intention
of being on safari playing around in front of lions, but that just wasn't in
the cards.
They're like, no, that's not going to happen.
Oh my God.
So we kill you.
Yeah.
We filmed, we filmed this great whole thing going through the s
