@Bill Zussman you are a bad son

[@Sergio-fu7mv]

Mine is the opposite. My father goes full steam ahead with whatever I’m in to doing but it seems like my mother doesn’t support me with anything. She wants something for me that I’m just not that into.I guess you can say she’s kind’ve like what bam claims his mom is like.

[@bfffggffdfd]

@Bill Zussman how does you being a piece of shit make me a snowflake? If anything you getting that offended kinda makes you one. Dont let people work you up so much buddy, maybe if you were a cooler person your dad would have liked you

I also moved a lot as a kid and it's true. Every new destination is a new beginning where you can try to become a little bit more what you want to be. When you live in the same place for a long time, it's difficult to change because people around you already have a defined perception of who you are.

Steve-O is great, he is so open about his emotions and life. I always learn something when he talks about sincerely

[@eltravos99]

It's awesome his dad finally supported his career choice. And then literally supported him and kept helping him. I'm sure he was really proud when Steve O became famous. He apologized and supported Steve O before he was famous and not after he became filthy rich. Also, people think clown college is some sort of joke but it's pretty serious art. Especially Barnhum and Bailey's. I mean it doesn't get any more sophisticated than that.

Steveo has the greatest , most contagious laugh ever . It’s very genuine & is surely an immediate pick-me-up to anyone who hears it

[@dezo3576]

There is a lot of people out there that will look at Steve and wonder how someone could look up to someone like that. But they have never been through the hardships or pain that he or anyone else has experienced. Steve! You are a true inspiration for a lot of people that don’t think they’ll ever make it out! I know cause I’m one of them! Thank you for never giving up and showing the WORLD!! What one man can do!!! I love you Steve! ❤️

[@Melinacabin]

How awesome that his dad and him were able to change their relationship! I think we all have things we would like to change in our relationships with our parents.

[@Globbs]

I didn't like Steve-O for many years but hearing him on podcasts explaining his troubles etc. has really made me gain a ton of respect for the guy. I've become a fan and I wish him the best.

[@DosEquis1]

Thats awesome that even though steve-o's dad didnt necessarily approve of his sons career or life choices he saw how happy and successful he made himself by pursuing them anyways and learned to not only except but embrace his sons choices. I know allot of fathers who hate their children's life decisions and ostracized them for it and as a result still have no relationship with their children to this day. It takes a strong person to admit to someone that they were wrong especially when that someone is your child. Its great to know you've been clean for so long now and your enjoying life with your family. God bless you Steve-O and i look forward to seeing you live on your Bucket List Tour this month cant wait!

[@rondapicou9350]

There is no way you can get more honest than Steve. You know by listening to him he is genuine. Good bad and ugly. He doesn’t care.

[@AyoVp]

My pops is my biggest supporter in my music and I truly appreciate him for that

[@j5689]

I think this was my favorite part of this segment. You can tell that he was badly wanting for validation for most of his early life, and then he finally got a lot of the validation he needed through his dad's acceptance of what he wanted to do with his life. And then not too long after, his dad then taught him how set boundaries for himself and how to effectively negotiate a business deal, which are exactly the things you'd want to learn from your dad.

@evan A standard night out in the UK would be going to the pub until 11pm, taxi to a club and stay there until closing which tends to be 2-3am, then usually head to a late club until 5am and then finish the night at the famous kebab shop to finish your night. Usually in bed by 7am.
