**Joe Rogan** (0:12)
Headphones? No headphones?

**Steve-O** (0:13)
Yeah, I don't need headphones.

**Joe Rogan** (0:15)
We're going no headphones. Fuck it. What's up, dog? How are you?

**Steve-O** (0:18)
Well, dude, it's been a roller coaster for me, man.

**Joe Rogan** (0:21)
Since the last time I saw you?

**Steve-O** (0:23)
Big time.

**Joe Rogan** (0:24)
What happened?

**Steve-O** (0:25)
Well, let's see here. The year of 2022, last time I saw you, I think it was 2023

**Joe Rogan** (0:37)
Was it that long ago?

**Steve-O** (0:38)
I think it was, man.

**Joe Rogan** (0:39)
Okay.

**Steve-O** (0:40)
Yeah. Man, dude, I was on high the year of 2022 We had our Jackass movie in theater, it's number one, my profile was all white hot. The world just opened up from the pandemic, and everybody had stimulus money, and they were just revenge-spending. Everyone wanted to go out to shows, and there were no interest rates, money was free. It was just like a perfect storm for me to have the most successful year of my life. More than double what my next most successful year was.
And then like, I don't know, maybe I just got like super high on that, you know? And it was just like, I was just kind of printing money, you know? Like selling merch like crazy, and like everything was just going so well. And I don't know if maybe like you become more successful, and like people get angry at you, you know? I mean, it's not, but there's like a point after that where I felt like, man, the internet turned on me, kinda, you know? Like I saw a lot of negative comments, people saying that, like all I do is promote merch, you know? Like there was a bunch of different stuff, and I legitimately agree, that's my thing is when I see a negative comment about me, if I agree with it, then it really bothers me, you know? And I gotta do something about it, you know? I think, and I've heard you say that, that, you know, that taking criticism constructively is like super helpful.

**Joe Rogan** (2:26)
It's very helpful. The problem with the internet is, it's overwhelming. It's too many voices, too many different people. That's why I would never recommend for a person like you to even read the comments.

**Steve-O** (2:38)
What I did was...

**Joe Rogan** (2:40)
Do you have a dick tattooed on your right eyebrow? Is that what that is? How long do you have to keep that for?

**Steve-O** (2:46)
I don't have to keep it for any amount of time.

**Joe Rogan** (2:48)
Is that a bet or anything?

**Steve-O** (2:49)
I mean, it is a bet how long I last before I get lasered off.

**Joe Rogan** (2:53)
And is there a money value to this bet?

**Steve-O** (2:57)
No, it's more of an experiment.

**Joe Rogan** (2:59)
Oh.

**Steve-O** (3:00)
But I've been doing really well with it.

**Joe Rogan** (3:02)
It's not even a good dick. It's like a weird dick, like a banana dick.

**Steve-O** (3:08)
It's pretty awesome.

**Joe Rogan** (3:12)
Are you even bad at taking criticism?

**Steve-O** (3:18)
It was done by Post Malone. Oh, well, it makes it even better. It makes it awesome. I don't expect to keep it forever, but I was very shocked when I got it that my life didn't really change a whole lot.

**Joe Rogan** (3:32)
That's you.

**Steve-O** (3:33)
You know what I mean?

**Joe Rogan** (3:33)
Like if Marco Rubio got a dick tattoo on his forehead, he'd be like, hey, take his fucking clearance away.

**Steve-O** (3:41)
Yeah. But in any case, man, you couldn't be more right. There's so many voices and everything, but I agreed with a bunch of stuff. And I spent like 2024, 2025, like very mindfully addressing the criticism with which I agreed. And I felt like I made like really good progress, like repairing my reputation, even though maybe I didn't even need to.

**Joe Rogan** (4:16)
I don't think you needed to.

**Steve-O** (4:18)
Maybe not. And then coming into 2026, I was like, wow, I did this, I texted you. I was like, dude, I got on this Mr. Beast thing. I won the whole damn thing. And this video, he made 30 celebrities compete to win a million dollars for charity.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:38)
Who were you on with?

**Steve-O** (4:40)
I said Matt Rife was one of them. Sal Vulcano.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:44)
Oh, nice.

**Steve-O** (4:45)
Howie Mandel, Diplo, the Bella Twins.

**Joe Rogan** (4:50)
So that's a crazy group of people.
