I can't help but like Steve-O. He's so over the op but you recognize that it's unusually genuine.
So how can he NOT have some solid life advice to offer? He has a lot to say about adapting to aging. When you hit your 50's your body just tries to keep up with your brain. "Maybe the only thing worse than your body failing you is the knowledge that your body is failing you." Everyone will relate at some point. It's worth a read.

A very untraditional and rated R “self-help book”.
As someone that used to enjoy watching Jackass but definitely wondered what made people do crazy stuff like that… it was interesting to listen to some backstory of Steve-o’s life and what led him there. I wasn’t aware he had another memoir but I lost interest in this title on audio around 60% when it became repetitive.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for this ARC!
Synopsis: I’m not ashamed to say that A Hard Kick in the Nuts by Steve-O was the very first Advanced Reader Copy I selected. I was genuinely delighted to be able to read this before its publication date. I’ve been a fan of Jackass for ages, so I wondered what kind of sage wisdom the world would get from Steve-O, a man who is famous for doing dumb stunts in front of a camera. Clothing is optional.
Despite the mind-numbingly stupid things Glover and the Jackass crew get up to, Steve-O is a smart guy. Now, he’s healthy and sober, and this book is an exercise in learning from your mistakes, self-improvement, and growth. Throughout the book, Steve-O talks about his addictions (several), his career (varied), and how he’s had a roller coaster of a life.
Likes: I laughed a lot throughout this book, mostly because I heard Steve-O’s voice in my head while reading. The writing is punchy, and there is a flow from beginning to end. Too many memoirs are a series of anecdotes separated by arbitrary chapters. A Hard Kick in the Nuts follows a general trajectory without portraying a calendar of Steve-O’s life.
Comments: Yeah, all the content and trigger warnings are in this book. Very raw, very real, and delivered unflinchingly honestly.
