- 🎬 The special is multimedia, incorporating footage of the stunts as they are discussed, and is available for streaming at steo.com.
Pushing the Boundaries of Stunts
- 🚀 Steve-O discusses the challenge of raising the bar for stunts, noting that many ideas have already been done.
- ✈️ A notable new stunt involves skydiving naked while masturbating and attempting to ejaculate upon exiting the plane, which required finding a willing tandem skydive professional.
- 💉 Another extreme stunt involved receiving general anesthesia via IV while riding a bicycle through a field, with medical professionals present, though the drug used (etomidate) did not fully incapacitate him as intended.
- 💥 He also recounts a stunt where he received epidurals and then attempted to run to see how far he could go, experiencing temporary paralysis and difficulty breathing.
Regrets and Embarrassments
- 💡 Steve-O expresses regret over a baby tattoo he got on purpose, which he later covered up.
- 🐒 He also regrets riding dolphins at a SeaWorld-type facility in his past, acknowledging a growing sensitivity to animal welfare issues.
- 🤸 A significant regret is not attempting to ride a unicycle over a bed of hot coals in India, a stunt he wimped out of.
Sobriety and Personal Growth
- 🧘 Steve-O has maintained 15 years of sobriety from drugs and alcohol and is approaching seven years of sexual sobriety.
- 💖 He emphasizes his commitment to being the man his fiancée deserves, focusing on healthy relationships over casual hookups.
- 🧠 He practices Transcendental Meditation (TM) daily, averaging 41 minutes, believing it protects him and aligns him with the universe.
- 💔 He shares a past conflict with the David Lynch Foundation, which led him to temporarily abandon meditation due to resentment, before restarting with Vedic meditation.
The "Bucket List" Special's Production
- 🎬 The opening sequence of the special, costing over $150,000, features Steve-O dangling from a helicopter and landing on his moving tour bus, with Bill Burr acting as the pilot.
