Ten Times We Could've Died | Steve-O (and Chris Pontius)

yeah buddy, I'm Stevo, I'm Chris Pontius and we've done a lot of cheating, trap, death warning, the wild boys feature stunts performed by and under the supervision of professionals, we are the most iconic wild boys. The part is when we both dress up. in a zebra suit and we were practically mauled by lions, we took that zebra session to Africa, yeah, and no one would let us near an African lion, so we came and finished the part in California with some guys who own lions and, yeah no, I think that's twisted, just ask Siegfried and Roy, those lions will kill you, we

could

have

died

, oh yeah, every time an animal runs away with your costume head, you know it's close and we might as well have

died

with all the other big cats we filmed with. in California, those leopards in the tree, yeah, the twisted tiger, oh, everything about tigers scares me one time I was jerking off to my friend's cat on the couch and Jack Rob from Disney, and he was quick and buried a claw right on my mid shaft, oh my god, cats are a twisted guy, we also gave wild animals plenty of opportunities to kill us, like in Rwanda, the mountain gorillas, we went up this mountain and lo and behold, huge gorillas They told us not to go near the baby gorillas because the adults are very protective and will tear you limb from limb and we are hanging out and there are the babies.

I was like: Hey guys, what's going on with that baby? and Silverback gets mad and he did it, he did a mock charge and it was like he came shooting. Okay, this is a horrible idea, okay, I came up with it at the last minute in Indonesia. Jeff Tremaine says Chris, you think you can do anything with a king cobra and I said, yeah, a king cobra can kill an elephant, it was like 10 feet. long this deadly snake can grow up to 18 feet long so they let the Cobra out and he's like you know how to do his thing and he just turns around out of nowhere and goes to try to kill marks he turned like moved so fast.

Seriously, I was so close, so close to buying from you, we reset and he does this and he goes and looks at the market and I was like I had him behind him and I tapped him on the top of the head and I was like, oh My God. I can do this and I just got over it. I just tried it and I gave him a bit of a weird kiss. When you do something really dangerous or like to try how cool it feels afterwards, yeah, that's one of the proudest moments. Things I've done with animals are pretty sketchy and right after that, the guy, uh, they milked the snake for Venom to make an antidote and it's full of venom.

I think this is considered the closest call when we were filming the Nintendo commercial Chris is riding an elephant. I'm in a tree with lions. They're supposed to be jumping and clawing at my feet to get them into action and the first thing that happens is this 300 pound lion. goes straight for the tree I went limp I was kind of resigned to saying oh, I'm dead, this is good, well, you handled it exactly the way you should, yeah, I wasn't interested in that, I wasn't scared, I just kind of liked it he said, it's well this is it, people on set are running to go get a ladder and like a part of me climbs up the ladder and lures the lion with a piece of bait, yeah we've never gotten a call.

Well, that was the scariest thing we've ever filmed. It really got creepy when we filmed the meat hammock talking about meat hammocks and the lion, listen to this line and these meet the hammocks on our new skateboard autographed by the two wild guys from WBS and available right now on stevo.com yes, you're back to the video, the hammock we tried to film in Africa, that's right, that's when I threw the Warrior Messiah through the Thorns, that was different, but it was very good that we put it like that. A lot of meat in our hammock is hanging from the hammock that we are lying in and the idea is that they will like to jump up and grab the meat, but of course, yes, they scratch the hammock very quickly and make us fall to the ground. jumps on my back the moment we run away, yes, but someone actually pulled the line from me.

I don't know if I want to reveal that. I think we can be honest with our people. Someone saved me if you were. If you asked me what the most twisted animal in the world is, I would say the killer whale, but no one really knows how dangerous they are to humans because no human actually swims with them in the wild to find orcas and hopefully swim. with them to where I am. We know it's never been done and it's extremely dangerous and a school of workers walks past a man it's like he just had to jump into the water to try to swim with the whales and since the whales didn't want anything to do with it they just walked away.

They got under us around us. It was totally cool, but yeah, that was weird, just not knowing. I think Manny called him. I don't remember how he said it. It was a beautiful demonstration. You know, we're scientifically rolling the dice. What I mean is, I had this inflatable Orca, so we blew it up, I jumped on it, and they towed me behind the boat. I was almost not afraid because I thought if they wanted to catch me, they were going to catch me and there's nothing I can do about it and uh, it was amazing. I don't know how deadly it turned out to be, but it was definitely a moment where you tried to die.

This one probably doesn't look that impressive, but God, was it dangerous? Man, we were on a Safari in South Africa with a pack of wild hyenas and we got out of the Jeep and threw a ham. Oh, hyenas are actually my favorite animal and I was so excited to get to film with them, they have the most powerful ones. They bite, yes, any terrestrial animal, there is a great misconception that hyenas are scavengers, they are full of predators, they are so intelligent that, after seeing us throw the ham from one place to another a few

times

, they realized for themselves full of us and one would protect us. while the other one was pulling and like, yeah, one bite, it would have all been over for sure and they're not afraid of people at all, yeah, there's no doubt we

could

've died, we should've died, that was so dumb, dude , that was when we were. filming the Wild Boys pilot and also when we were filming the Wild Boys pilot number the great white shark, the reason we filmed the Wild Boys pilot in South Africa is because that's where the most white sharks are found, oh yeah, Chris and Steve Owen is prepared to do the unthinkable: jump into the water unprotected with a great white shark.

We were told it would have been safer to land on the shark, but that would have upset the animal rights people, so we landed between the shark and the shark. cage to take that photo like in frame with the great white shark and then climb into the cage yes I have never swum so fast in my life but try jumping in the water next to a great white shark we have swum with many many lemon sharks great hammerhead sharks bull sharks nurse sharks Caribbean reef sharks blacktip sharks whitetip sharks puffer sharks leopard sharks but the closest I came to dying would have to have been on donkey number two when you put the hook in my face mako shark Look in my mouth, Manny is packing Barracuda to attract sharks and he sees the Mako going towards my foot so he yells Stephen watch out they hunt swordfish and tuna and bite their tails so when Steve got in the water with her, they were like really interested in her feet wow, I never thought about that that's how they hunt so I freaked out and when I freaked out I kicked the shark in the head I'd be so dead if a shark bit me we were hours away from the coast to get it Back to land thank you so much God you bastard this is what I'll always be jealous of you for the black bear in the tent so we wanted to show why you should never camp with food in your tent you know our friend.

David Weathers of course had a bear, it wasn't trained, I didn't feel scared at all, I thought it was just that the bear was going to come in, eat whatever it wanted and leave us alone, it came in, sniffed around and everything. Suddenly, I took drastic measures against my bus. I couldn't believe how powerful that animal was and it wasn't trying to kill me, I just wanted to see what it was and it felt like my butt was in a vise and we were wearing thongs. Was he in the store with you? No, yeah, together, yeah dude, I didn't remember, yeah, I think wow, so he was pretty cool, oh yeah, he wanted a nap for at least an hour, he ruined our entire vacation, not just our autographed Wild. wild stevo.com and hurry up and get them before they start looking for an arm and a leg on eBay after they are gone but also my YouTube channel and my podcast are now live, the Pontius show and he does it better than anyone else, so subscribe now. by the board subscribe to the podcast yes
