À propos de cet audio
Fame can be addictive. From his early days videotaping crazy skateboard stunts to starring in the blockbuster Jackass franchise, there was little that Stephen “Steve-O” Glover wouldn’t do for attention. Whether it was stapling his nutsack to his leg, diving into a pool full of elephant crap, or routinely risking death invading the private lives of sharks, lions, tigers, and bears, almost nothing was out of bounds.
As the stunts got crazier, his life kept pace. He developed a crippling addiction to drugs and alcohol, and an obsession with his own celebrity that proved nearly as dangerous.
Steve-O has been a man in search of a spotlight practically since birth. Growing up all over the world, thanks to his father’s career as a corporate executive, he was the kid who’d drink handfuls of salt in order to make friends. After he stole a video camera from his dad as a teenager, his future path was more or less sealed. Footage of himself skateboarding soon gave way to footage of himself setting his hair on fire or doing back flips off apartment buildings into shallow pools. After detours to several hospitals, a couple of jails, and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, he landed, quite naturally, on MTV’s Jackass, in 2000.
He took to fame like it was the very thing missing from his life, but it was never enough. He filled the void with booze and drugs, and soon began treating his entire life like it was one big—and supremely risky—stunt.
In 2008, Steve-O holed up in his West Hollywood apartment, where he drank, snorted, smoked, huffed, and swallowed drugs around the clock—and began broadcasting his downward spiral on the Internet. Finally, his Jackass comrade, Johnny Knoxville, and seven other friends staged an intervention and forced him into a psychiatric ward against his will, ultimately saving his life. Today he has been clean and sober for more than three years.
Professional Idiot recounts the lunacy, the debauchery, the stunts, the drug addiction and the path to recovery and redemption with the same bravado and humor that have endeared Steve-O to so many. Hilarious, harrowing, and inspiring all at once, Professional Idiot will entertain those who’ve been with him on his many wild rides, as well as surprise and intrigue those who know him only as the guy willing to do anything—no matter how painful—for a laugh.

Bahahahahahah
Great book and well written. The writing style was top notch. Steve-O reading his own book was really cool, too bad it wasn’t the whole book but The voice actors were good. Some even are recognizable in some video games. Bravo and great listen for sure.

Great Story. Funny.
Great book. However, I wish steveo read it himself. I watch all of his content and it's just weird hearing his story from another voice

EYE OPENER
Why can't I give it more than 1 Star? I thought it was pretty good and honest. Would have liked the real voices but overall I thought it was a good listen

4 stars - knocking off a star for voice work
This book was pretty good. I knew going in that Steve-O bails after the first 2 chapters, and it actually didn't bug me as much as it did for other reviewers (the voice actor did a pretty good job IMO).
What was bad were the other voices (his sister, dad, etc). I am not sure if they are the real people reading, but they sounded VERY robotic. To be fair, I listened to Motley Crue's "The Dirt" first (which is ironically mentioned in this book!) and it was more entertaining to listen to voice wise.
The actual story itself was well written. I tried to binge listen, and be forewarned - it is a long ass book lol. Worth the time investment though.
I hope you are doing well Steve-O, thanks for sharing your story.

Really enjoyed this book
It was a great story to hear, I enjoyed it all and I was sad when it was finished. Only downpart is that steveo only reads the first 2 chapters, but after that I was already hooked and I'm glad I finished. It's truly a great story
