Steve-O 'Crash and Burn' tour brings even 'naughtier' stunts to Canada: 'I really treasure my Canadian passport so much'
"I always love going to Canada. I really treasure my Canadian passport so much," Steve-O told Yahoo Canada about returning to the country for his tour. "I always have, but more and more, I just really value my Canadian citizenship."
Steve-O was born in the U.K. to a Canadian mother and American father. As he journeys through Canada, Steve-O is also travelling with his special road buddy, his dog Moon Pie who, unlike Steve-O's beloved dog Wendy, isn't afraid of the tour bus.

A post shared by Steve-O (@steveo)
This time around, for the Crash and Burn tour, Steve-O is leaning into the fact that the famous stunt performer turned 50.
"I would say that this show's really about me confronting middle age," Steve-O said. "I actually turned 50, and as unlikely as it seems that Steve-O would have made it to 50, I'm actually in really good physical shape and seeking to beat myself up as much as ever."
"Not all the ideas I came up with for this tour proved to be very good ones, there were a lot of really outrageously hilarious fails, and for everything that failed I doubled down on something else to make sure that I could bring a worthy show."
But if you still think age could be a barrier for Steve-O, he's promising an even "naughtier" show this time around.
"I go out of my way to create even naughtier content than I could create for Jackass," Steve-O said. "Because that's always my motivation, to just be naughty and break rules and the crazy stuff."
If you haven't seen Bucket List and you're questioning what a Steve-O comedy show will be like, you're not alone.
"People don't really know what it's going to be and I've never been particularly upset about that," Steve-O said. "I think that's fine, and if anything, I viewed it as a benefit for people to come to my show with some low or no expectations."
"Because I just believe so much in what I'm doing that if people come, they don't know what they're going to get, maybe they're not sure how great it's going to be, then the consensus is pretty much always, wow that was a lot better than I expected."
But after seeing multiple Steve-O shows, there's something special about his live, multimedia experience, whether you've been a fan since the beginning of Jackass on MTV, or even if it was never your thing.
Firstly, you realize that as raucous as Steve-O is, he really takes the time to craft an impressive show.
Secondly, the energy in the room is absolutely magnetic. It's a collective bonding experience for the audience, alongside Steve-O, to laugh, gasp, and even cringe and shield their eyes from some of his stunts. It's an experience unique to Steve-O, making his shows unlike anything else you'll see.
But throughout the years there have been headlines threatening that Steve-O's latest, greatest stunt will be his last. While he's toyed with the idea, Steve-O's keeping the door open, even to when he's a 90-year-old man.
"I've gone back and forth on that. I've treated this show as if it's going to be my last real physical stunt thing," Steve-O said. "I don't want to commit one way or another to whether I'm going to keep doing stunts or not."
"[But] I kind of turned the corner a little bit. I imagined what a 90-year-old Steve-O would have to say to me. And I pictured this 90-year-old Steve-O just saying, 'Dude, stop being such a little bitch. F**king go for it. Make your own rules.' ... If I was to think the [show] I'm working on now, there's going to be a bunch after it, it would probably be too daunting. So, yeah, I think as a tool for raising the bar, just viewing every project [as the] last one is helpful."

'Emaciated' Dog Travels Over 9,000 Miles to Forever Home
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dog who was found on death's door has not only made a remarkable recovery but has also found a forever home over 9,000 miles away from where she was initially rescued. Poppy was a street dog living in Thailand who was rescued and brought to the animal welfare organization Soi Dog Foundation. She was "emaciated and too weak to stand," states text layered over a YouTube clip sharing her story. She was covered in mange, infested with fleas and ticks—"no one thought she'd survive." But she refused to give up and underwent months of treatment. Eventually, she was adopted by Kerrie, who lives in Houston, Texas, where they've lived happily ever after since. (L-R) Poppy, once reduced to skin and bone and suffering from severe mange, began to recover after receiving extensive medication and tender loving care. Over time, her fur grew back, revealing a much healthier and... (L-R) Poppy, once reduced to skin and bone and suffering from severe mange, began to recover after receiving extensive medication and tender loving care. Over time, her fur grew back, revealing a much healthier and happier dog. More Soi Dog Foundation She told Newsweek: "As soon as I saw her photos and read about her, I broke down in tears." "I knew this was my next soul connection," she added, noting that she had previously adopted a three-legged dog from the same charity in 2016. "Kwanjai was a senior pup with a resilient soul. She had three legs, one eye, four teeth, and a tail worn down to the bone," she said. "When she passed away, I created a short video in her memory, documenting our final day together on the beach. I sent it to Soi Dog to thank them. "I didn't expect much in return, but their response moved me. They told me that, whenever I felt ready, rescuing again could be a beautiful way to carry on Kwanjai's legacy." A month later, she flew to Phuket, Thailand, to meet Poppy for the first time. Now, four years on, Poppy is living the American dream. Left to right: Kerrie stands beside two dogs before embarking on the long journey back to America. She is seen embracing Poppy.

"When Poppy first came home, she was curious and ready to explore," said Kerrie. "She burst through the door like she had always belonged. "She's not high-energy unless cheese is involved, and to this day she has never barked—not once. "She is such a gentle and wise soul. People who know her say she's more cat than dog, and they're not wrong. She roams from bed to bed and quietly dreams by the window. "My nieces and nephews can climb into her bed and snuggle with her like she's theirs, and she welcomes them with tail wags and kisses. Every night, without fail, she hops into bed and gives me a hug—like she dips her head into my neck and collapses while I hold her. It's one of the most comforting, soul-filling feelings I've ever known." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

New boots inspired by the vinyl on Chili's booths start at $345
Chili's fans may soon be new boot goofin'. The Tex-Mex and American restaurant chain has partnered with Tecovas, a Texas-based cowboy boot and Western-style retailer, to release Booth Boots. The deep red cowboy boots, marketed as being made from the same material as Chili's restaurant booths, are available only on the Tecovas website, starting July 29. "The limited-edition Chili's x Tecovas collection pays tribute to two American originals, pairing the design and craft of Tecovas with Chili's iconic red booth, where so many good stories begin," Sam Fodrowski, Tecovas' vice president of brand and product marketing, said in a news release. "It's unexpected, fun and crafted with the same care and attention to detail we bring to everything we do." The Booth Boots are available in men's and women's. The women's boot is based on Tecovas' best-selling Annie design. The 14-inch-tall boot features a forward snip toe and 2-inch heel. The men's boot is based on Tecovas' Garrett design. The 12-inch-tall boot features a snip toe, 1.2-inch leather heel and pull tab. Both boots are adorned with chili pepper stitching. In addition to the two boots, Tecovas and Chili's are offering a Booth Belt, a handcrafted belt embellished with a chili pepper and brass buckle. Interested in getting your hands on a pair of the Booth Boots? Here's what we know. No April Fools': Chili's is opening a 'Scranton Branch' that celebrates 'The Office' The Booth Boots will only be available on the Tecovas website, while supplies last, starting at 10 a.m. CT on July 29. Both the men's and women's Booth Boots are $345. The Booth Belt is $75. No, the Booth Boots are not made from old Chili's booths. The boots are though made from red vinyl, the same material used to craft Chili's booths, Jesse Johnson, Chili's vice president of marketing, told USA TODAY. Several Tecovas locations are celebrating the Booth Boot with free Chili's margaritas, exclusive Chili's pepper branding irons and other giveaways. Here's a look at the schedule: TikTok creator Fernanda Castro described the Chili's and Tecovas collaboration as a "Texas version of a royal wedding," as both brands are based in Texas. Notably, the Chili's at 4420 N. Lamar Boulevard in Austin, Texas – which is where Tecovas is based – has garnered widespread attention online for its plethora of positive online reviews. Ahead of the widespread release, several content creators were sent their own pairs of Booth Boots, which have been circulating on social media for a few days. "This reminds me of the time where I'm about to put on my Chili's Booth Boots and go to the booth at Chili's and sit in with my Booth Boots in the booth," content creator Robert Rausch said in a TikTok video.

Greg Girad's Ode to Old Hong Kong Lights Up M+ Museum Facade
Greg Girard's Hong Kong archive comes home inHK:PM, a new moving image commission, now on view on the facade of theM+ Museum. The Canadian photographer is the latest name to take over the 7,000-square-meter screen, lighting up the waters of Victoria Harbour with a tender tribute to the city's past. HK:PManimates analogue photographs from the artist's personal collection, shot in during his time in Hong Kong between the 1970s and the 1990s. The collection captures life in motion across the crowded streets of Central, the now-demolished Kowloon Walled City and neon-soaked nightclub scenes. 'This commission offers me the unique opportunity to revisit these photographs, transforming fragments of Hong Kong's recent past into a cinematic sequence,' the artist said in a recent statement. At last, Girard's works return to the context of their creation. The commission unpacks old Hong Kong to make anew, paying homage to the then, now and the endless now on view at the M+ facade every night through September 28.
