Steve-O Says Prince Was a “Dick” to Him When They Met
The stars of Jackass surely know that their gnarly antics aren’t for everybody, but Steve-O had to learn the hard way that Prince especially wasn’t a fan.

On the podcast, Steve-O recalled a go-to party trick he’d often use during this era to impress A-listers, which involved balancing a cup on his head, then drinking the liquid inside without using his hands. “I met Prince one time,” Steve-O told the episode’s guest, Cheech ...
