I love how the titles make it seem like Kevin is talking about his sex addiction

Dude wtf, just this random video on sex addiction and Steve-O drops like one of the most powerful quotes I’ve ever heard. “They just wanna stuff old people away because they serve as a constant reminder of our own mortality”. Holy shit!

You guys are great for talking openly about all of these addictions and how there are so many

Steve-O and Kevin Smith are national treasures and I wish them all the happiness and long life that they deserve.

Kevin gets it when he said that why should I get mad at something I cant control? Im just gonna create my own world. Thats important stuff to understand right there!!!

This clip exceeded my expectations. It went deep very quickly and I thought the part about addiction was eye opening. I could relate to the part about seeking behaviors that validate our core belief of shame.

Steve O has the only podcast that he brings on celebrities to interview him 🤣

Kevin Smith is such a chill dude. Being able to sit and talk with him for a couple of hours would be such a experience.

Kevin smith is the best. He’s always asking great questions as well as giving thoughtful answers.

Sex addiction/addiction flowing into hospice..wow! I work with our senior population with stints in hospice, end of life is the height of spiritual experience. We shouldn’t dismiss the wisdom our elders provide. May all of us work to attain the gift of self-realization and peace as we near our passing from our existence here on earth 🙏🏻

That WAS an awesome clip... Thanks for this podcast and the great conversations you bring..

Damn I think it's easier for Steve-O to name the things he's hasn't gone to rehab for

Stoked on all the amazing content dude. Super rad.

This addition is a real deal. I hope more conversations around this addiction make it more into the limelight

Shame is integral in addiction. Shame is the feeling of being unwanted as a result of some thing a person has done or failed to do and when people feel unwanted, they act out in ways congruent with that. Recovery is counterintuitive as our first instinct is to feel shame for getting caught up in the cycles of active addiction but shame only feeds Into active addiction. Counterintuitive as it might seem, self-forgiveness and not shame is essential in recovery.

"you'll redefine silver fox" the thought of stevo as our generations Betty White makes me giggle😃

I'm also addicted to sex. Only problem is I'm not getting any sex.

4:20 - This hits hard because of a neighbor of mine took a food addiction and traded it in for an alcohol addiction. They got a bypass surgery that helped them loose weight wonderful but they didn't account for how addicted to food they were. When that stopped it jumped to alcohol.

Kevin Smith is such a well spoken guy.

Two of my favorite people since 2000, just made my month!

I've known people recovering from drugs who fall into sex addictions when they were detoxing from substance abuse. Its common for opiate addicts especially to have an increase in their libido when detoxing and become hypersexual during the withdrawal process.

This is how all communication should be! Screw all the mundane small talk. If your going to talk to someone, talk to them about shut that matters.

I've watched for quite a while now and admit didn't pay much attention to Scott until this upload. Dude is a fucking champ!!!!!! Steve was about to maybe blow answers (understandably) but Scott was on it instantly every time! I'm sorry to Scott that I may have missed that gladiator quality in many many prior uploads (I don't see them all) but I hope you know how important you are! No clue, maybe tens of thousnads of yt videos over the years and ive NEVER experienced that! Massive massive props to all! Mucho love from Canada dudes! IBEW 894!

Woah, that covered so much. Great chat between 3 great guys. Thanks

really really good conversation guys!!! fyi... the electronic beeping static noise...is most likely a cell phone and its internet/backround apps running..... ive recorded for a long time and had that same sound and found it was my phone when plugged into the mixing board. Keep up the good work!

I love when Steve-o gets philosophical about existential dread... you're not sure if you want to laugh or cry

18:48 “being addicted to shame” that is so accurate it’s scary🤯.

"A walking party foul" even funnier when his bud repeated it and just couldn't believe how casually it slid off his tounge

Just ordered your book, can’t wait to read!

love that reference to that episode of Batman the animated series from Kevin Smith. Also, interesting convo about addictions!

🙏For any one dealing with any kind of addiction. Usually you use it as a crutch or substitute so you don't have to process any negative emotion. In my specific case pornogrophy and compulsive mastetbation is a tool to avoid the boredom and isolation of solitary lonely life. This became a gateway to seeing escorts (although i haven't done that for over a year and half) because truth be told I don't think I've ever really processed the grief after my mom passed away in 2013 or overcome a childhood fear of rejection. Hope everyone reading this finds the peace love and joy we all seek 🙏

Intelligent and considerate conversation. A rarity in 2022. Most people are commodities these days. Sadly creating content is more important to people than life itself.

Kevin Smith is just one of the most lovely humans

This MIGHT be One of the Most Fascinateing Conversations i ever Withnessed

Woah woah woah wait… We need the back story on this grinder tattoo!!!

Boy has Steve-O evolved. So happy to see that these guys are happy and healthy. Big thumbs up for this episode.

I love Kevin Smith, Tusk is underrated

He said “you’d make out like a bear bandit” 😂😂😂😂 That’s hysterical. I read Russell Brand’s book trying to get sober and he explained it perfectly. To put yourself in dangerous horrible situations just to have that sexual experience, regardless of what the partner looked like or how you felt about them. I don’t have that one thank God. Opiates were enough, food is another. I lean into the feel good.

Kevin is talking about ego taking over and becoming addicting to a persona

Who are you ? wasn’t expecting such a deep conversation. Wow! You’ve really grown up.❤️❤️I’ve really enjoyed this video .

I seen Stevo back in the day. He was mad.. sad..and sick. I would love to see him sober. I bet his show is 100x better now!

This guest will cut you off in a heartbeat and go off on an strange tangent

Addiction can and will change somebody into a completely different person

I live in South East Asia and I see a lot of older basket cases. I had a friend from the UK in his 60s drank like a fish out on the piss for days. We all looked at him as an example of what not to become. He tried to get sober but relapsed many times. Now he's back in the UK. My friend she called me a grey fox I'm doing my best to stay sober. I still drink on but not like before. I was a mad drinker in Asia had to cut way back. Here its crazy you can buy a beer and a nitros balloon at an underground bar. Trying to kick that as well. I'm traveling more and when I do I drink less just if I run into some friends who are heavy drinkers. You can drink for days over here as you can always find a bar or place to drink. Its mad very easy to fall into full blown alcoholism. Also sex as there are brothels everywhere around Asia. Its crazy and cheap sex is almost like buying booze here. I'm writing a book about my experiences plus am published in a book "You're crazy volume 2." I also teach English and promote and write about underground music. I'm trying to remain sane and mostly sober over here and live to a long age. My dream is to be able to get my own book published and go on a book tour around the world telling my stories. These podcasts are a big inspiration.

Kevin Smith petting the furry wall like he smoked a Jeffrey

Totally off-topic, but I have a running thing with flamingos and I LOVE Scott's shirt! I'd love to know where he got it 😁🖤.

Great conversation!

Love Stevo It’s awesome that changes these folks go through when they get really good therapy Just think how the world would be if everybody got that

It’s not an addiction to being yourself, it’s an obsession. Simply put they can be misinterpreted but in an honest way, you are being yourself and avoiding conscious hazards or self grief

The hospice point was so *mwah*

It almost seems like Steve-O is addicted to recovery or rehab. Kinda like drug addiction becomes part of a person's identity, being in recovery is almost the same in that sense.

I luv Kevin Smith God bless him and Steve

I am a love addict, I went to better help therapy after a bad drunk black out that shook me up because I could off been raped. My therapist was amazing a ex addict so not just someone reading off a book. She told me I was a borderline alcoholic and a love addict I thought I was a alcoholic ( drinking since I was 11 and I thought I was a sex addict loved sex since 16 and that is legal in Scotland) she made me do a 3 month detox off everything no drinking and no sex texting or porn it was so hard But the best thing I did and now I am 42 single for 3 years and on a self love path and not looking for love or one night stands . I write poetry and sing and try play guitar and I am in control off my vices I do drink but not to get drunk just grown up social. I went to a northern soul night had 4 drinks a cola and ice water I relised can dance and enjoy music without being drunk and no anxiety depression hangovers off guilt because I can’t remember or waking up with strangers or in strange places. I feel great

What’s with the low-fi 8-bit glitch music interwoven with the video?

I felt like I was watching the Kevin Smith show.

3:40 best part of the whole vid

Anyone else got a ticking audio for this video? Paused mine thinking it was my buds but its the video

nice conversation and good insights

It might be even better to call this "Kevin Smith On Real Self". Great video. My feeling is there were 3 non-neurotypical people in that van!

I didn’t have sex for a year either, it’s changed my life. I also was a party girl and I have stopped drinking etc excessively, it was never me.

I was addict for 15 years to crack n heroin now 4 year clean but it is true when u get of one thing something else pops in to the mix but I now have a little boy who in 3 xxxxx we love ❤ u steve o 💙 ❤ in uk

sex addiction is a process addiction like compulsive gambling.

Yes David dobrik is a prime example on how being yourself is way too detrimental.

What a fantastic exchange

I think anything you do repeatedly, whether it’s from work or fun can become addictive. It really depends on the person and why they are seeking those behaviors. I’ve seen people who enjoy their work because it gives them purpose and others who enjoy the escapism of the rest of the world. I’ve definitely been on both sides of the fence and symmetrical to what you can experience.

Irs really impressive how you managed to get and STAY sober steve o,'you are inspiring a lot of uss.🤘😎 Any addiction is hard. Do you have a video Of how you did it?😄

Kevin Smith wont stop interrupting :(

Kevin of course is gonna equate a life issue to Batman the Animated Series lol Love you Kevin!

Stevo your experience is better then kids that hurt themselves today. Maybe I am to old to say this I as 28. But their eas a death in your team. And I think u have been the beautiful. Hopefully not obnoxious to your addicted friends. It is a hard line m.

I never heard the word, "ameliorate" before. Great word.

Is there popping in the audio

love kevins stroking of the furry wall 3mins in

The Wildride sign is slanted

Being an ex heroin addict I'm still not convinced it's a disease but I guess a person's notion on what a disease is can differ from person to person but generally a direct result of a physical injury.

“Being old in itself is a party foul”

Kevin Smith ended up doing the interview here😅

I have such profound respect for Steve-O for navigating this conversation the way he did.

Ok, who started playing PONG at 14:20?

So steveos. A ex Drug addict, Ex alcoholic, ex food addict and Ex Sex addict? And did programs for all of them? Did i miss any? Fukin love steveo

Patrice O'Neal said it best "New Steveo disturbs me with his lack of edge."

8:00 he described Chris Farley's collapse. So sad.

I'm no expert and even though I've used and continue to use weed and psychedelics for spiritual growth, here's what I think about addiction. First, I don't think I've ever been addicted to anything but I have committed destructive behaviors and I think that's really what it comes down to. Any continuous action could be called an "addiction" but I think that as long as that action doesn't lead to destructive or negative behavior for you and your loved ones then I don't see the problem with it. Some of these actions could just be seen as "taboo" or not socially acceptable in the world that you come from or live in but that doesn't make them destructive to your life. It all depends on what we personally want out of life. I'm not going to live my life according to the standards of somebody else 😆 If my actions are having a positive effect on my life and the lives of my loved ones then I think it's great. If it ever isn't then I'll adjust as I have multiple times in my life already.

Being a people pleaser if definitely an attribute of some addicts. I was.

So my copy was preordered and not signed, my copy of A Hard Kick In the Nuts

good talk

Would love to see steve-o in a Kevin Smith film...or Jay and Bob in a jackass skit

2:04 firschovch...I'm gonna change (aka revise) the definition of words so that I can insert my own affirmations into the general public's view of xyz.... Yeh oka sure....

Yes I'm totally fat now I don't do drugs...sometimes it is tempting purely cause of the weight but nah I'm on a diet now lol

Being "addicted" to being in the spotlight and having that attention directed to you is a red flag for narcissism.

Kevin Smith is a real one.

Kevin Smith is such a let down. He was the man back in the day. Now he is the womxn.

What a bizaaro world we live in where the biggest philosophers in the USA end up being Mike Tyson and Steve-O.

Kevin Smith's favorite person in the universe is Kevin Smith.

Being old and having 100 million in the bank is a far cry from being broke and old. I live in my own filth in an apartment I can barely afford. I haven't been able to do laundry or wash myself in over a year now. There is no real help since my family has all passed. The Gov't just wants me to die!

Theres caffein in cacao Steve!

"Can being yourself for a living become an addiction"? Yes it can, it's called being an egomaniac, and you are it.

Steve o reads his own comments

"It's never been a shame, but a celebration!"

But if you shouldn't be afraid to reward yourself

Did Kevin ever put Steve O on a casting couch?
