I’d say I’m a “fine to good” fan for Steve O to have. I’ve paid to see him once live and even bought a t shirt that he signed. And I’ll happily continue to pay a $9.99 fee when a new comedy special streams go live like when Gnarly originally dropped. Plus, I can’t wait to watch the Bucket List show, I just can’t make it to a live show right now. Oh, and I even bought his first book from him directly at the live show and loved it, and will totally get the second when I can.

As a sometime purchaser of “Steve-O” related stuff who can only contribute every so often and loves the free podcast, just paying the shipping costs for a free “mug shot” shot glass and 3 enamel pins that he talked about on the podcast was a super sweet thing to do and now I’ll remember that going forward whenever he tries to sell me something on his podcast or live show. I know I’m not someone he needs to make up to or anything but I’m still a forever fan that will fork over cash every once in a while when he can. I think they’re important fans to have too.

The dudes trying. Make that money bro. I’ll totally deal with all the product plugs. Between the sponsors and his own merch, where he can keep all the profits, he’s throwing nonstop darts out to see what sticks to pay his bills and to maybe struck a fan in the metaphorical ass. Like me, in that demo, of a once in a while buyer of Merch that’s ok with impulse purchases. Which you only you hit if you go for all of it and then it turns into a great sales quarter.

It’s all gotta be worth it, he sounds like he’s hustling to be a grown up and make money for real. I’m sure there were a million “no” ideas before the boom box came around. I didn’t get it but maybe some rich person or someone who’s super nostalgic of both the 90s and 2000s wanted something to display in a man cave. Im sure all it took was one sale to break even enough that it was at least worth the shot of getting boom boxes for future profit.

I don’t really eat hot sauce, nor skateboard so the sauce or deck darts didn’t stick to me but maybe a ketchup, dog toys or even an action figure might stick later. Who knows. But I’m glad there will forever be options.

Thanks for the free shit.
