Welcome to younghollywood. com. Hey, Young Hollywood. I am here with Stevo. Now, you have been doing some writing. I've been on your website lately. And it looks like that you are going to be possibly writing a book.
You know, like I talked to this book dude. He's like, uh, make um five pages. Get on, like an instruction. I struggled. I was like three and a half pages into it. And I was like, yeah, and then I was like, no. And now I'm just kind of like, ah, I'm taking a break from it.
Well, I think that you should write this book. I read just a couple paragraphs and I was so intrigued. The fact that you could not get arrested.
You know, I, I could. I did get arrested with, with one point twelve million dollars bail. And, uh, I just couldn't get arrested on that one warrant.
You just wanted that warrant for what was it? You had like three outstanding things going on anyway.
Yeah, I, I, I, yeah, I had some, some, some troubles. Um,
And was that true that you left all your clown stuff in the trunk?
I did. I'm really touched and honored that that you read that too. That's so nice.
Well, I actually have, um, interviewed your Dancing with the Stars partner, Lacey. A couple times and she is a huge fan of you and always talks so highly. I love Stevo. Every day is completely different with Stevo. And it's always interesting and filled with different things and crazy ideas that he has and I love it. I'm having a great time. Do you guys still keep in touch since the show?
Yeah, we, we just had lunch a couple days ago. She's a really good friend of mine.
If you could give some advice to Young Hollywood on how to really just take the reins and, you know, make your life go forward full force in a positive aspect.
If you're going to make a career in entertainment. I think it's really important to separate what you do from who you are. Because, uh, what you do ultimately will, uh, maybe fizzle out. And then when that happens, you don't want to fizzle out yourself. You know, that was some trouble I ran into. So now I'm really trying to keep my personal life separate from what I do and just my job is just a job. I'm Stevo and this is Young Hollywood.
Yeah, dude.
