Thick: What made you wanna get on this crazy ride? Take me back man. How did you get involved in all this crazy stuff?

Steve-O: I stole a video camera from my dad when I was 15 and the rest is history, man!

T: You're a pretty intense dude...were you always like this?

SO: Yeah, man I think I was always the same way. I always wanted a free ride, man. Free money and naked chicks!

T: How did you guys all hook up...the Jackass gang?

SO: We were making a series of skateboard videos and then someone came up with the idea of taking out the stupid skateboard stuff and we were what was left over so we called it Jackass.

T: Did you have any idea the show would become so popular?

SO: It's suitability for television was more the question for me. I knew it would be popular. I just didn't think you could do that kinda stuff on TV.

T: What was the first big stunt you ever did?

SO: It's tough to say. There are stories of me climbing out of a 12th floor window when I was 2 years-old. Pretty wild from the get-go man.

T: For those who haven't seen the underground videos what's the craziest stunt you've ever done?

SO: When I shot up 5 ounces of Vodka up my armpit through an IV. That was pretty major.

T: Have you ever come close to death? You put yourself through some pretty ridiculous things.

SO: I've been pounced with an African Lion one time up in a tree...that got pretty creepy.

T: Ever worry that when you're 40 you might be using a walker?

SO: My spine is enough to get a good belly laugh from any chiropractor. We'll see what happens, man. We'll all be dead but I'd like to think future generations will get a good laugh out of some of the footage I've made.
