Welcome everybody to the H3 Podcast. Today we have Steve O. Be loved by all. One of the most cherished and wonderful people on this planet and we have a fantastic conversation with him.

Before we get into that I quickly want to thank our sponsor ExpressVPN and let you guys know that there is a new September release at TeddyFresh.com. Let me briefly show you what we've got out. New color block goodies.

But boom we've got this one. Let me zoom in a little bit for you. Not a very high res photo but you get the idea. This one's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, new color blocks. New felt hats.

I love this hat. I lost mine. I need to yield it to bring me new ones. But I mean it's such a nice hat. New Ela Klein original, her marker drawing. This is what I'm wearing now. It's awesome.

Shorts, grandpa jacket. This is everyone's favorite piece. My grandpa died and all he left me was this jacket. Passed away and left me all this jacket. Excuse me.

Anyway, really nice jacket. God bless. And then we've got some striped shirts and all kinds of colors. This is my brainchild of course, which is a skeleton burning violently and then the lyrics to friends.

On the bottom. So no one told you life was going to be this way. It's a. Come on. Who wouldn't want that. That's my favorite piece. I mean I made it so maybe a little bit of advice. Teddy fresh crayons shirts, puffy paint.

You know, yada, yada, yada, just head on over to Teddy fresh calm, peep out the new collection and hopefully pick something up if you like it. All right. That being said, let's jump right in to Steve.

Today, your host, the fresh prince of dead air brings you one of our most chair, maybe most cherished guest of all time.

Steve, a man who needs no introduction at all is with us here via the power of zoom. And I do want to tell you, Steve, before we get into any conversation at all, Ian, can you please pull up Steve, those wiki feet page.

So it's customary here on the issue podcast to rate our guests wiki feet. Are you aware of what you. Oh, wow, dude, I've heard about this. It's a like a foot fetish thing. Huh? Yeah. And actually, I have to give it up to you. My dude, you have a pretty solid rating.

Oh, nice. 4.53. So that's definitely something to be proud of there. That's crazy because on my podcast, which is of course called wild ride with Steve. I'm always barefoot. And I always get fucking comments about dude, wash your feet, your fucking feet are disgusting.

Oh, okay. So that's that's like it's my disgusting, unclean feet, which are responsible for my high rating. Oh, that one straight on wiki feet.

Yeah, I think you just lost some points. Oh, yeah, I don't know, dude, maybe my other maybe the other foot will bring it up. Yeah, I don't know man. Like, so Steve, oh, I washed your new comedy special, Narlie.

Rad, thank you man. It was horrific and beautiful all at once. It's on stevo.com for 10 bucks. Apparently, no streaming service would pick it up because it was just so obscene. Is that right?

Basically, yeah, it is got a lot of dicks. Well, it has just my dick. It's got a lot of my dick. It's got a lot of heavy drugs, a lot of criminal activity, grievous, grievous bodily harm. I really get fucked up.

So between those things, it was tough to get it anywhere. And then frankly, with the, you know, the platforms that, you know, I think could have put it out like Netflix, you know, probably HBO and showtime. I think that would be about it.

And their position, I think, was that viewing stevo as a crossover standup comedian, you know, not a pure lifelong standup comedian that I'm not prestigious enough to give a standup comedy special to.

And that absolutely drove me nuts, man, that fucking that drove me nuts because what I did with it, like, I don't think it's ever been done before to have fully multimedia standup comedy with, you know, because most comedians, I think their stories that they're telling are true to begin with. And in my case, not only are they true, but I've got the footage to like really illustrate the stories.

Fuck, man, I just thought that between having the multimedia component and bringing the whole cast of Jack as together to do such awesome shit for it, that it was a no brain or a slam dunk.

And like you said, I couldn't fucking sell it, man.

So was there anybody today was anyone interested in the like, okay, we can do this, but you have to remove all the dicks and the gore and all this shit. Or was it always.
