E291 Steve-O - Gripped By Fear

On today's episode of The Viall Files we are joined by the legendary Steve-O. You know him from MTV's Jack Ass, his stand up comedy, or just from being the guy that makes your jaw drop with his stunts.  If you are only familiar with Steve-O from Jack Ass, this episode may have you getting to know him in a whole new way as he and Nick have an extremely insightful conversation about his sobriety and how that has changed his relationships - both romantic and in life. They also tackle societal norms, failures, attention seeking issues, dealing with addictions you can't just quit, mortality, and the importance of betting on yourself.  Get ready for some drop the mic moments as Steve-O drops some serious knowledge.   Make sure to check out Steve-O's Wild Ride podcast, and go to his website steveo.com to see his special Gnarly or get his book Professional Idiot: A Memoir.  " I treated people the way I most feared being treated."
