Thanks for coming.
And by the way, Arby's Action Sports Awards was a real thing.
I know it was.
I mean, that's awesome.
What was it?
It was an awards show.
And we'll be right back.
Man, this guy's good.
Holy shit!
Yeah, yeah.
You said what Walter Krohnke said.
I think you just had lunch at Arby's, if I'm being honest with you.
It was sponsored by Arby's.
Okay.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Do you get any hookup for that?
They give you like an Arby's card or anything when you do something like that?
No.
There was a time when I had a Chipotle card.
Yeah, there you go.
No shit, you had one?
Tony Hawk told us about that.
He had one.
Free Chipotle.
Yeah.
How often did you use it?
A lot.
Yeah.
A lot.
I don't have it anymore.
It was revoked.
Yeah, I want to say, guys, that your reputation precedes you.
Oh, thank you very much, man.
I've had dear friends of mine call from the show saying, you got to get on here.
I feel like that was from Bert.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe Whitney, too.
Yeah, shout out to Whitney.
Yeah, man.
You were like an all-time wanted guest.
Yes.
When this show first started cooking a little bit.
Who do we want?
Who do we want?
Top of the list.
Steve-O, I mean, yeah, you were always at the top of the list.
Man, I love that.
I appreciate that.
And what a great intro, man.
Thanks for that.
Thank you, buddy.
Thank you so much for being here.
Congrats on the new special.
Unbelievable.
We got to see a little peek of it.
Absolutely wild.
Yeah.
Wild.
It's the best intro, I think, ever.
Yeah, it's the very Steve-O intro.
It's fucking nuts.
I do love an opening sequence.
Yeah.
Sure.
And, yeah, man, it's a lot of fun, dude.
So let's get into this.
Let's get into it, baby.
Let's do it.
Give us the origin story.
Give us the childhood.
We know you moved around a lot.
Lay it on us.
Jumped around a lot.
Yeah, you don't have to be fucking Freud.
We know you're trash.
Yeah.
Come on.
We're going to grade on a curve, Steve-O.
All right, we're not fucking.
You look sharp, though.
I like the shirt.
I like the glasses.
Yeah, dude, Carrie Kelly Slater right here.
There you go.
My bro, Kelly Slater, hooking it up.
Okay, so born in England.
All right.
Which I didn't know.
As much as I knew about you, I did not know that.
So does that make you a British citizen?
It makes me a British citizen.
Hello!
I'm contractually obligated to do that.
I have a valid British passport.
No shit.
My mom was born in Canada.
Okay.
Makes me.
Canadian.
Yeah.
I got a valid Canadian passport, too.
My dad was born in America.
Nice.
So I'm triple national.
Fuck.
What were your parents doing?
How come you were born in England?
What did your mom and dad do?
My dad was a corporate executive.
Really?
Headed up international divisions of American multinational corporations.
Jesus.
And when I was six months old, my family moved from London, England to Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil.
Crazy.
Because my dad became the president of Pepsi Cola in all of Brazil.
Holy shit.
Damn.
That's nuts.
That's an all right job right there.
That's a pedigree right there.
Right.
And I spoke my first words in Portuguese.
No shit.
Because my parents paid such little attention to me that I was actually raised
by a Brazilian
woman.
Brazilian maids.
Yeah.
Live-in maids.
Taught me to speak.
Did your mom work?
Or was your pop?
She drank.
Shout out to it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Along with everybody else on her side of the family.
Every single leaf on the tree, like utterly alcoholic.
Okay.
So that family tree is riddled with alcoholism, gambling, drugs, suicide, you
name it.
Damn.
Damn.
Yeah.
That's wild.
Garbage.
I thought it was pretty fucking cool, to be honest with you.
Your dad being the head of Pepsi kind of evens that all out a little bit.
Right.
Well, I mean, big time even out.
You see, now on my dad's side of the family, straight scholars, academics, theologians.
Like, nobody's got less than a PhD over there.
Where did your dad go to school?
My dad went to school in Canada.
Is that where they met?
They met in Canada?
They did meet in Canada.
Okay.
Yeah, they did meet in Canada.
Dad was a-
He was on the path.
Yeah.
But he was also, like, the black sheep of the family for going into business.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
You want to be a money-grubbing businessman, like, not cool.
Yeah.
They were all, like, heady scholars.
Right, right.
Yeah.
But if you look at me and how I turned out, it's a little bit of, like, my mom's
side of
the family, like, with this, like, engine of my dad's side of the family.
Gotcha, gotcha.
Like, I'm, like, deviant on a rocket ship.
Sure.
With purpose.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I want to be the most devious guy around.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, six months old, I moved to Brazil.
Two years old, I moved to Venezuela.
Spoke fluent Spanish in nursery school.
Man.
Jesus.
And this is him trying to get Pepsi down there.
Yeah, well, Dad got promoted to, like, I think, Pepsi in all of South America,
maybe.
Okay.
Something like that.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
And by the age of three, I spoke three languages fluently.
By the age of four or five, I forgot two of them completely.
I was going to say, what can you speak now?
Yeah.
But, dude, when I was 11 years old, they said I was speaking Portuguese in my
sleep at summer camp.
So, it's in there.
This kid's got issues.
It's in there.
He's speaking in tongues in his fucking sleep.
It's in there, but I can't, I have no access to it, you know?
I just can't have it.
They're throwing holy water on you.
Right.
So, I moved to America when I was four.
And what was he, was he?
That was still Pepsi.
Okay.
But, when I was six, we moved to Darien, Connecticut when I was four.
But then, my dad became a big tobacco CEO.
Now, we're talking.
Yeah.
So, we moved in 1980.
We moved, I was six years old, moved to Miami, Florida.
Okay.
Okay.
Now, Miami, Florida, it's the 80s.
Sure.
And then, all of a sudden, the fucking newsflash came in that cigarettes were
bad for you.
Mm-hmm.
And so, the tobacco companies were like, man, our business could be in trouble.
So, what the tobacco companies did was they scrambled to buy up food companies.
Yeah.
Because, like, cigarettes might be taking a beating, but food's never going to
go.
Potato chips are going to be cooking forever, baby.
And, there was the, at the time, the largest corporate takeover merger in the
history of
the world was when R.J.R. Reynolds, no, sorry, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco.
Bought Nabisco or something like that.
Nabisco, yeah.
That's right, the KKR merger.
Man, it's impressive that you knew that.
Hey, I'm surprised you know that.
What are you talking about?
I'm a fat kid, and I like heaters.
Yeah, that's the best of both worlds for him.
R.J. Reynolds Nabisco, or R.J.R. Nabisco.
And, in that merger, my dad had what he calls an aberrationally good year.
Talk about bonus money coming in.
Yeah.
We moved to London, England when I was nine.
Okay.
And, then, we moved, and I was there for, like, the second half of fourth grade,
fifth
and sixth grade.
Then, we moved to Canada.
Jesus.
Dad was the president of Nabisco, Canada, I think.
That's crazy.
And, then.
I imagine security guards, especially when you're in South.
No, no, never security guards.
Nothing like that.
What are the houses looking like?
Yeah.
They've got to be nice houses.
Houses got bigger as I grew up.
Yeah, they did, yeah.
And, the family got smaller.
My sister dipped out.
My dad was never home.
He was always on a business trip.
Right.
My mom was super drunk.
Okay.
I cannot stress that enough.
Yeah.
She was very, very drunk.
Did you have nannies and stuff like that your whole life?
No, not my whole life.
So, it was just, when you were in Canada, it was just you and your mom?
Yeah.
And, how much older was your sister than you?
She was three and a half years older.
She dipped out when I was 12 to go to boarding school.
Okay.
Right.
So, she's 15.
She goes to boarding school.
Yeah.
So, I'm in Canada when I was 12.
Then, moved back to London, England when I was 13.
Finished the second half of eighth grade and all four years of high school in
London, England.
Damn.
Okay.
So, that was like your home base for most of your life.
That's the longest extended stay.
Private school?
I, ve
