12-11-25 RMS Steve-O on his time w/ Tom Garland

It has been many, many years and I finally get the opportunity to speak with this individual who may or may not have an idea that he has a couple of ties to the radio station.

It's stevo on the rock 108 morning show.

I'm not

nervous.

How are you now?

Yeah, especially with my history, man.

Uh, you know, like if, uh, somebody tells me that our jobs crossed before I got clean and sober, then that's, uh,

that's enough to make me nervous.

But yeah, what's the tie?

So one tie is that we have a comedian that comes on every week.

His name is Tom Garland.

And he actually opens, he opened for you and Tom Green at the Riviera back in 2013.

So I just wondering if you had any stories from that particular time that you all guys played together at the Riviera.

You know, Tom Garland opened for me in many places.

I remember working with him in Iowa.

And finding his comedy to be a fit with what I do, what I was doing at the time, I invited him to come open for me and Tom Green in Vegas.

I haven't had contact with him for some time, but I know that there was a tour in Canada with a number of the Jackass guys that I wasn't on.

And they had him opening.

I hope he's doing well.

He is doing well.

He does our top five Tuesdays and he speaks very highly of the time that you guys spent together.

So that's great, man.

I love it.

The second kind of plays more into what you were saying here earlier.

And it's a legendary story here at rock 108.

I want current Steve to look back at past Steve Oh and tell me if what transpired may or may not have happened.

So it's you and the jackass guys.

You guys are promoting a local show.

You're in the studio with the host at the time.

And as you guys are getting ready to go on the air, you bring out a joint.

You try to light it up, but he's trying to keep, you know, asking more questions, a little pre-interview action and such like that.

When he goes to back sell the song, that's when past Steve-O lit up the joint in the studio.

Boo!

Big cloud of smoke.

Does that sound accurate?

Um, I wouldn't be terribly surprised by that.

Yeah, I don't remember it particularly, but it's certainly within reason.

I'm not gonna say definitively no.

And frankly, I'm quite relieved because that seems like kind of a minor thing.

I think it makes me all kinds of stuff.

I've done some pretty bad things in the past.

One thing I remember

uh trying to check into a hotel uh on when we were on Lollapalooza tour in 2003 and they didn't have any more rooms no vacancy and I was so out of my mind that I took a fence to that went outside and picked up a bike rack and threw it through their lobby window

Just the

first thing you saw and

that's you're like bike rack.

Let's go through the window.

Yeah.

And I believe it was substantial enough of a bike rack that I needed help baking it up.

And there's another accomplice.

Now that wasn't in Iowa.

That was in Ohio, as I recall.

And I think I would love to figure out what hotels that actually happened at.

try to make things right, albeit that it's been more than 20 years since then.

But yeah, like lighting a joint is a little bit less bad than that.

Hey, look, we may have passed out underneath the board.

I mean, things were good.

It was just a fun time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I believe it.

We may have had the ability to pass out that, uh, that I didn't necessarily have in those years.

I kept myself pretty awake most of the time.

Yeah, fair statement.

Stevo, our guest, the crash and burn tour, two dates, including a Tamwa December the 12th, December 19th.

You're hitting the legendary surf ballroom in Clear Lake.

Is that the one was it Buddy Holly's last show was there before she was in a plane crash?

Yeah, dude.

Yeah, a legendary place for sure.

And the last time I was there, I was on

It was called a stevo's bucket list tour and The man I sent the bar really high with that tour man.

I had a you know the multimedia show So I kind of like an extra naughty jackass movie meets a stand-up comedy show where the act and the jokes are You know punctuated and illustrated with the multimedia

And on that tour, man, I had medical professionals in disguise administering stolen, generally anesthesia drugs and epidural drugs while riding bicycles.

Things like that, man, this wildly illegal and life-threatening activity all carried out with no insurance at all.

And then that whole show lived on my website, uh, free of charge.

There's, uh, it's streamed totally for free and with no ads.

You just have to click that you're over 18 because it would be so illegal for, uh, somebody underage to watch it as it's like, not only life threatening, but it's fully pornographic.

Properly triple X

stoked to see you here back in Iowa, December 12th at Tumwa Bridgeview Center Theater.

December 19th, legendary surf ballroom in Clear Lake, Steve-O, the crash and burn tour.

Man, thanks for taking a few minutes out of your day to have a conversation with me.

Oh man, I super appreciate it.

I'm glad that my ties to the station weren't quite as bad as they might have been.

But yeah, everybody get over to Steve-O.com to see, you know, the crazy stuff I was describing before.

That's where all my ticket links are.

Steve-O.com is you're not safe for work.

center of all things stevo and I've been thank you so much for your time brother the rock 108 morning show
