- 0:28so bizarre.
- 0:30>> It's
- 0:30>> Oh, are you talking about the
- 0:32>> the handgun?
- 0:33>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- 0:34>> It is so
- 0:37Do you know I mean I I I don't know if
- 0:39you remember this, but we met a long
- 0:40time ago.
- 0:41>> Yeah. Uh, when I was doing commercials
- 0:43for ESPN, I was going across the country
- 0:46for the X Games, meeting all the
- 0:48athletes, but we stopped in Florida to
- 0:51meet Rolling Stones biggest partyier in
- 0:55the nation, and that was you.
- 0:57>> Yep.
- 0:58>> And then I did notice
- 1:00like when you first started making it,
- 1:03and it made me so happy like you Yeah. I
- 1:07was like, "Wow, I met that guy a long
- 1:09time ago and you just worked your ass
- 1:11off from like
- 1:13that until like you have a wonderful
- 1:16standup career." Can and that made me
- 1:18happy.
- 1:18>> Can I tell you I had the exact same
- 1:20feeling?
- 1:21>> Did you remember me though from then or
- 1:23No, probably not.
- 1:25>> So much. So, it's it's a little it's a
- 1:27little storied, but uh so that was like
- 1:30the only thing legitimately I did out of
- 1:33the out of the Rolling Stone was that
- 1:35ESPN commercial. They gave me like a day
- 1:37rate. I hung out in your tour bus with
- 1:39you. And do you remember who the other
- 1:41actor was?
- 1:42>> Beautiful Jason. He's the guy who in the
- 1:46self-defense equipment. He it was his
- 1:48house. He let me do it there. And then
- 1:52when we did the gun, I believe he he was
- 1:55supposed to shoot me,
- 1:56>> but we got out there. He's like, "I'm
- 1:58not [ __ ] shooting you."
- 1:59>> Yeah.
- 1:59>> And so he had to operate the camera
- 2:02>> very poorly, by the way. I mean this is
- 2:04but this is before any like nowadays all
- 2:07of us know composition so like everyone
- 2:09holds the subject in the center of frame
- 2:12not too much headroom you are in the
- 2:14[ __ ] corner of that shot you have to
- 2:16see that uh jackass best and last is if
- 2:21you're a jackass fan which every single
- 2:23man that is below 50 years old is a
- 2:27diehard ride or die it's going to be
- 2:30your favorite jackass it is such an
- 2:32homage I cried at the And I feel like I
- 2:34I I have so much I want to say, but I'm
- 2:36going to go back to 1997.
- 2:38>> 1997,
- 2:41uh, I meet you at the Lambda Kai House.
- 2:43It's the first sketch you were doing,
- 2:45and you had your tour bus and you you
- 2:46and beautiful Jason were
- 2:48>> ESPN's tour bus.
- 2:49>> ESPN. But no, but you brought me on and
- 2:52you were like, "Let's bring I want to"
- 2:53and we smoked weed. You asked if I could
- 2:56find Delotted. I'd never heard of
- 2:57Delotted before.
- 3:00And you showed me a video that I think
- 3:02of all the time of kids trying to knock
- 3:05themselves out with an empty beer
- 3:06bottle.
- 3:07>> Oh yeah, that was probably from the
- 3:09whiskey video.
- 3:10>> And and and and
- 3:12at that point and no slight to beautiful
- 3:14Jason, but I remember you were the one
- 3:16guy I remembered because you were very I
- 3:19was saying, I'm going to move to New
- 3:21York. I'm going to get into standup. I
- 3:23I'm going to get into this business. Do
- 3:25you have any insights? And you're like,
- 3:27and in my kitchen, I swear to God, and
- 3:30if I remember this wrong, please tell me
- 3:32I am wrong. You told me I would like to
- 3:36get shot with a crossbow and wear a coat
- 3:38of arms, and I would like to get shot
- 3:41with a gun, and I I'm doing this thing
- 3:42for a magazine right now called Big
- 3:45Brother. And you pitched me jackass. I
- 3:48want to tell you to the point where when
- 3:50I was on the X show, which is my TV
- 3:52show, in 2000,
- 3:54I'm guessing, and Jackass first came
- 3:57out, I was sitting in the bleachers and
- 3:59all our crew guys brought in a VHS and
- 4:02they're like, "Did you guys watch MTV
- 4:03last night?" And I was like, "No." And
- 4:05they're like, "Have you seen Jackass? I
- 4:07have no frame of reference for what it
- 4:08is." And they're like, "No." And they
- 4:10put in the Jackass tape and it's you.
- 4:13And I remembered you
- 4:15>> and I was like, "Johnny Knoxville." And
- 4:17I got so excited. I go, "Hit pause." I
- 4:19go, "I know that [ __ ] guy." I go, "I
- 4:20[ __ ] know that guy. I know that guy."
- 4:23And I was like, "Oh my god, he did it.
- 4:25He did it. He took this idea and
- 4:28followed through." And then I was
- 4:30obsessed with Jackass because I felt
- 4:33like I was there at the beginning when I
- 4:34met you and you felt like you had a
- 4:36seed. I mean, I remember like and my
- 4:38memory is always jaded in Yeah. in in in
- 4:41whatever I beautiful picture I needed to
- 4:42be. But I then uh became a I I was like
- 4:48obsessed. I thought it was the coolest
- 4:50thing that's ever been done in media.
- 4:52And I would I would go into meetings and
- 4:55they would be like, you know, they
- 4:56pitched you pitched Jackass to like
- 4:57Comedy Central, VH1. You pitched it all
- 4:59over and no one wanted it except for
- 5:02MTV.
- 5:03>> We pitched it to HBO first. Went
- 5:06terrible. And um Spike did all the
- 5:10talking and he could feel how much that
- 5:13they hated our idea. So he's just going,
- 5:17"Yeah." And um uh uh Jeff and I are
- 5:22like, "Oh, [ __ ] We thought this guy
- 5:23knew what he was doing." And then we
- 5:26went to MTV and Comedy Central. I think
- 5:28we pitched USA, maybe VH1, I don't
- 5:31remember.
- 5:32>> They were all in the same building at
- 5:33one point.
- 5:34>> And MTV and Comedy Central both wanted
- 5:37it. So, it was it was wild. Uh, but
- 5:40yeah, I I do remember meeting you so
- 5:43much. And I'm sure I told you about
- 5:46>> my idea for the self-defense equipment,
- 5:50>> you know, where I shoot myself and this
- 5:52and that.
- 5:53>> And and I did it not too
- 5:58I don't know if I had done it at that
- 5:59point, but
- 6:00>> you shot that in 98. You met me in 97.
- 6:02>> Yeah. So, yeah, it was like the next
- 6:04year I did it. So, yeah. You knew before
- 6:09>> almost anyone else. There was like a
- 6:11handful of people who knew before it
- 6:13became a thing and you were one of them.
- 6:15>> And you I remember you said, "I can
- 6:16throw myself down a flight of stairs."
- 6:19And we were like, "What?" And we were I
- 6:20don't This is my recollection of the
- 6:22night.
- 6:22>> Pretty good way to get on TV.
- 6:26>> Me and you and two of the most beautiful
- 6:28girls that ever went to Florida State.
- 6:30>> Yes.
- 6:30>> You guys picked us up in the tour bus at
- 6:32Yanni's at We all went to Yanni's. Then
- 6:34the tour bus pulled We all got in on the
- 6:36tour bus. We went back to my apartment.
- 6:37We ended up continuing smoking weed. We
- 6:40got dressed as dra in drag as women. The
- 6:42girls dressed as women. And you said, "I
- 6:45can throw myself down a flight of
- 6:46stairs." And we were like, "No way." And
- 6:49you did it. And I [ __ ] And I was like
- 6:52I was enamored. I was enamored because I
- 6:54I had bought the dream of moving to
- 6:56Hollywood. And And then I I moved to
- 6:59Hollywood. I remember I remember being
- 7:02at I don't know if you remember this
- 7:03being at California Chicken Cafe and I
- 7:06was eating lunch with my agent and you
- 7:10walked in and and I went Johnny
- 7:11Knoxville and you stopped and you went
- 7:14Bert Chryser the number one party animal
- 7:17in the country.
- 7:18>> Yeah. I totally remembered you.
- 7:20>> Yeah.
- 7:20>> I absolutely
- 7:21>> and uh and the whole jackass crew was
- 7:24behind and it was and I I mean I
- 7:27>> How long ago was this? That was 2000.
- 7:29That was before 2001. It was before
- 7:31September 11th.
- 7:32>> When When did you first break? When did
- 7:35you first hit?
- 7:37>> Like a couple years ago.
- 7:41>> Oh, no. I mean, I had like So, I had I
- 7:45know you don't know this, but I had my
- 7:47own jackass. Like, I seem to get hired
- 7:51as if they couldn't get Johnny
- 7:52Knoxville. They couldn't get any of the
- 7:54guys at Jackass. And I got hired in that
- 7:57direction. I did a show called Hurt Bert
- 7:59after Jackass.
- 8:00>> Hurt Bert. That's a pretty nice title.
- 8:04>> It Can I tell you what it missed? And
- 8:06I'm telling you this because I watched
- 8:08Jackass best and last this morning. It
- 8:10missed the camaraderie. The beauty of
- 8:12Jackass is that I, as a viewer, I want
- 8:16to be with you guys. I feel like I'm
- 8:17included with you guys. I feel like I'm
- 8:19one of the guys. I'm one of the boys. I
- 8:21feel like Chris Pontius gets me.
- 8:23>> You know,
- 8:24>> he's the best. And I feel like you're my
- 8:26buddy and and I feel like we're all
- 8:28laughing with everyone.
- 8:30>> Yeah.
- 8:30>> Trust me as a guy who's done it. When
- 8:32there's one person doing the stunt, you
- 8:35start feeling bad for them.
- 8:39>> Like this producer is a [ __ ] monster,
- 8:41>> dude. I f I got mauled by a bull. I got
- 8:44mauled by a bull. And you have been
- 8:46mauled by a bull. Can you pull up my m
- 8:48by bull m?
- 8:48>> Yeah, please. And um this has got to be
- 8:512000 2000 and uh no one's there to
- 8:56laugh. No one's there to make flight of
- 8:58it.
- 8:58>> No peanut gallery to pan over to.
- 9:00>> It's just a paramedic and me and it's so
- 9:03uncomfortable.
- 9:05>> It's a great title though, Bert.
- 9:07>> Oh yeah. I wish I could revamp it.
- 9:09>> Hurt Bert.
- 9:10>> Rodeo Clown.
- 9:12>> And how many seasons this go?
- 9:14>> Six episodes.
- 9:15>> All right. All right.
- 9:19It was I mean I got pigeonholed as this
- 9:23for a big part of my career.
- 9:25>> For how long did this you think this
- 9:26Okay, here we go. Nice blonde bull.
- 9:29>> That's me.
- 9:31>> All right.
- 9:32>> And by the way, also content wise
- 9:34>> Oh, when they make that turn, it never
- 9:36feels that good. Huh.
- 9:42>> Oh, so there's no humor in it. There's
- 9:45just you're watching someone get hurt.
- 9:48THERE'S NO BOYS GOING. OH [ __ ]
- 9:50>> IF I WOULD have been there and and they
- 9:53and that and that's real pain.
- 9:55>> Oh, it's
- 9:56>> and that's real pain. If I would have
- 9:57been there, I was like I have said,
- 9:59"Hey, Bert, right before the bull gets
- 10:01to you, jump a little and that way you
- 10:04you get in the air and it's more dynamic
- 10:06and you don't get under the bull."
- 10:08>> It was the It's the It's why I can truly
- 10:10appreciate Jackass
- 10:11>> and I would have made you go again.
- 10:15They looked at me and they said, you
- 10:16know, we're trying to make a 22-minute
- 10:18show. We have literally 36 seconds of
- 10:20footage.
- 10:21>> Yeah.
- 10:22>> Can you get back in there? And I was
- 10:23like, I just broke my ribs. And they're
- 10:25like, yeah, but we don't have like a
- 10:26full episode.
- 10:28>> That's like that's that's those are are
- 10:31the Jeff Tmaine conversations.
- 10:33>> Yeah. Oh, I I couldn't
- 10:34>> I got my ribs broken uh on the first
- 10:39take in the magic trick in Jackass
- 10:43Forever, which is in Best of Last with
- 10:46>> Blonde Bull. Another blonde bull. They
- 10:48just [ __ ] break your ribs. It hits me
- 10:50with its horns and my ribs. Breaks my
- 10:52ribs. And then
- 10:54>> everyone knew I had to I knew I had to
- 10:56go again. And so, but take twos are
- 10:58tough with bulls. So,
- 11:00>> you can't tell them to go half. You
- 11:02can't go like, "Hey, it's just They're
- 11:03the best.
- 11:04>> Half half the speed looks like
- 11:05>> half doesn't work. You want him to just
- 11:08destroy you cuz that's what looks the
- 11:09best.
- 11:10>> But what like what is the part of your
- 11:12brain that like when you're the only
- 11:16dude getting on the red rocket, no one
- 11:18wants to get on it.
- 11:20>> Where is Are you scared? Uh, I will
- 11:23think about things like a few days out,
- 11:27you know, get a little like I'm not void
- 11:30of fear, but as it gets closer, I become
- 11:34more excited and and I eventually over
- 11:37time I learn to like it. Uh, so
- 11:41>> I'm just I just want to get there and do
- 11:43it.
- 11:45>> Um, not the healthiest attitude. No, I I
- 11:47so I did another show called Birth the
- 11:49Conqueror and then another show called
- 11:51Trip Flip and all of them were
- 11:53Adventures of Your Lifetime. The
- 11:54craziest thing you do. I I tested for
- 11:57Birth the Conqueror with Ryan Dunn,
- 11:58oddly enough.
- 11:59>> Ah,
- 12:00>> became friends with Ryan. He is He was
- 12:02>> He's the sweetest.
- 12:03>> He is. And I would love to take a second
- 12:06to talk about Ryan Dunn because he was
- 12:10one of my favorite people I've met,
- 12:12including you. Yes. within minutes.
- 12:15There was no industry to him. There was
- 12:18no jealousy. There was no competition.
- 12:21>> None.
- 12:22>> It was just just like a real He reminds
- 12:25me so much of Shane Gillis. Do you know
- 12:27Shane Gillis?
- 12:28>> I don't. I know. He's he's very funny.
- 12:30Uh but with Dun there's Yeah. There's no
- 12:32pretense at all. He's just instantly
- 12:35cool with everybody.
- 12:37>> Yeah.
- 12:37>> Yeah. when you found that group that
- 12:40that that Philly or like Pennsylvania
- 12:43group when you're building Jackass, how
- 12:46was did they mesh immediately into the
- 12:48LA click?
- 12:49>> Well, it's funny because
- 12:52we didn't get the group together until
- 12:58probably the movie. It was uh Bam would
- 13:02Bam would shoot his stuff out there
- 13:04>> and edit it and send it to us
- 13:07>> and maybe No, I take that back. I think
- 13:10maybe on the third season we all got
- 13:12together in Florida
- 13:15>> uh for the TV show. Yeah.
- 13:16>> But for the fir that was like the
- 13:2017th episode or something and
- 13:24Yeah. And so we hadn't met and there was
- 13:28since we hadn't met there was a little
- 13:29bit of a east coast west coast vibe
- 13:31going on
- 13:32>> but then we met and everyone instantly
- 13:35got along. It was that all went away.
- 13:38>> Yeah. It's because there is a weird
- 13:41energy when you make these movies that
- 13:45everyone's on their toes. No one's
- 13:48totally comfortable.
- 13:50It's it's it's more than no one's
- 13:53totally comfortable.
- 13:55Everyone's
- 13:57paranoid and by the second week of
- 14:01shooting
- 14:03they're just just so they're wrecked
- 14:06completely wrecked for the entire shoot
- 14:09after that.
- 14:09>> Now how much do you know like day one
- 14:12the I'm really interested in like the
- 14:13bones of this because having been a part
- 14:16of this I was always on the outside and
- 14:17I was never on the inside. They never
- 14:19let me on the inside. But like, so when
- 14:21you go into production,
- 14:23>> you have to sit with Jeff Tmaine and I
- 14:25don't Is Spike still involved?
- 14:26>> Yeah.
- 14:28>> Okay. You have to sit with Jeff and
- 14:29Spike and map out everything. We're
- 14:31going to have a punching glove that
- 14:33comes out of a wall. We're going to have
- 14:34a big hand that smacks everyone. So do
- 14:36So you're
- 14:38>> almost a little bit like the Wizard of
- 14:39Oz,
- 14:40>> correct? Or no?
- 14:42>> Yeah. Well, like Jeff and I know 98% of
- 14:47everything that's going on on the set,
- 14:50but there's the 2% we both keep from
- 14:52each other in case I want to get him or
- 14:55if he wants to come after me. Uh, but
- 14:58the guys really don't know anything.
- 15:01>> Yeah.
- 15:01>> So, uh,
- 15:03>> does that cause any resentment within
- 15:05the team?
- 15:06>> They they they can get worn out at
- 15:10points. Uh, it's just cuz
- 15:16they're just getting wrecked constantly
- 15:18and they don't know where it's coming
- 15:19from. They don't know if they sit down
- 15:20in this chair, they're going to go up.
- 15:22They don't know if something's going to
- 15:24blast from the wall and hit them or uh
- 15:27the wall comes out and the bull comes
- 15:29in. So, they're [ __ ] par.
- 15:31>> The rattlesnake's the [ __ ] funniest.
- 15:33>> Oh, yes.
- 15:34>> It is. It is. Is it? And I I apologize.
- 15:37My one of my favorite characters is Euan
- 15:39or Ern.
- 15:41>> Aaron.
- 15:41>> Aaron.
- 15:43>> I'm so happy you got his name wrong.
- 15:46>> I think I'm And I apologize, Aaron.
- 15:49>> I apologize, Harry.
- 15:50>> No, no, don't apologize to me. You made
- 15:52my day.
- 15:54>> Because I'm a dick.
- 15:57But like he really
- 16:00he's the he's the best because he just
- 16:04he's like he's the best.
- 16:07>> He is responsible some of for some of
- 16:10our best footage of all time
- 16:13>> without a doubt.
- 16:14>> Without he's a very important part of
- 16:17Jack. I mean he's the whipping boy.
- 16:19>> He's the liver.
- 16:20>> Yeah he's the liver.

- 16:37but he he's a good guy, but he he just
- 16:40he just I don't know.
- 16:43And you tr like you're shooting with him
- 16:46and you go home at the end of the day,
- 16:47you're like, "God, I was a little hard
- 16:48on Aaron today. I'm going to go in
- 16:51tomorrow and I'm going to be cool with
- 16:53him because I feel like a dick." And you

- 16:58to you and you're you're like, "This is
- 16:59my guy. This is Aaron." And within two
- 17:02minutes he'll say something so [ __ ]

- 20:14Something about summer always makes me
- 20:16want to be out and doing things all day
- 20:18long. Whether it's workout, golf,
- 20:20weekend plans, or travel, it doesn't
- 20:22matter. I just want to be outside more
- 20:24in general. And every year when summer
- 20:26hits, I realize I want clothes that can
- 20:28keep up with my lifestyle with all the
- 20:30things around my lifestyle. But
- 20:31refreshing your wardrobe for summer can
- 20:34get expensive really fast. That's
- 20:36honestly why I started looking for a
- 20:38better option. And I ended up joining
- 20:39Fablettics as a VIP, which completely
- 20:42changed how I shop for summer. New VIPs
- 20:45unlock major savings on their first
- 20:47purchase. So stocking up on comfortable,
- 20:50versatile pieces doesn't feel like such
- 20:52a splurge. When I signed up as a new VIP
- 20:55with Fabletics, I got 70 to 80% off
- 20:57everything. It made it really easy to
- 20:59grab multiple workout shirts, shorts,
- 21:02lounge pieces, outfits for travel,
- 21:04everyday staples for summer without
- 21:07overthinking any of it. The quality
- 21:09honestly kind of blew me away. Fabletics
- 21:12pieces feel like premium active wear,
- 21:15but you expect these higherend brands to
- 21:17come with these higherend prices. They
- 21:18had none of that on the price tag.
- 21:20Lightweight, breathable, comfortable,
- 21:21and built to last. What I've been loving
- 21:25most is how versatile the pieces are
- 21:27throughout the day. I can wear them for
- 21:28a workout. I can wear them travel, go
- 21:31out to run errands or hang out, just sit
- 21:33on the couch with them, and I feel put
- 21:35together. And it just makes getting
- 21:37dressed way easier during these busy
- 21:39summer days. I found out that Kate
- 21:42Hudson owns Fablettics and I was like,
- 21:45"Yo, if Kate Hudson's rocking
- 21:47Fablettics, I'm rocking Fablettics.
- 21:50That's the truth." By the way, secret

- 27:26back. What's it like when the jackass
- 27:29thing explodes? Like, what for for you?
- 27:32You're PJ Clap. You're from Knoxville,

- 28:07>> So then jackass hits.
- 28:09>> Yeah.
- 28:09>> And then that's everyone's dream. And I
- 28:11I also want to quantify that this is a
- 28:12different time in Hollywood. This is
- 28:15this is when fame was elusive. Not
- 28:16everyone had Tik Tok. Not everyone had
- 28:18Instagram. Not everyone was a social
- 28:20media fitness influencer taking peptides
- 28:22and doing morning jog and being locked
- 28:24in.
- 28:26everyone. You had to you had to get a
- 28:29camera to make something and then get an
- 28:32editor to edit it to make a sizzle,
- 28:35which wasn't even really a thing yet, to
- 28:38take to networks to hope they picked up
- 28:40a pilot to then get an order to put a
- 28:43series on air that then that Sunday
- 28:46night, it was Sunday nights, correct?
- 28:48>> Yes.

- 29:00anything but Johnny Knoxville.
- 29:02>> Yeah. It was pretty wild. Like within 3
- 29:05months I was on the cover of the Rolling
- 29:08Stone from like
- 29:11no one knew anything about me except for
- 29:14you. And and then I'm just suddenly a
- 29:16hillbilly with a hit record and oh boy.
- 29:21Yeah. It was took some adjusting. pull
- 29:23up that cover
- 29:24>> of adjusting.
- 29:26>> Yeah. Did was was I always wondered like
- 29:29drugs and alcohol. I know you don't
- 29:30really party anymore, right?
- 29:32>> Uh well, I mean I have a drink.

- 29:49>> Hedigard. Yes. Yes, you are correct. He
- 29:52wrote my article.
- 29:53>> Oh, okay. Yeah,
- 29:54>> he also wrote an article on Joe Rogan.
- 29:56>> Ah, well, there you go. Stirring our
- 29:59porridge.
- 30:00>> Jesus Christ. That guy's
- 30:03It would have been crazy if when I met
- 30:04him when I was what, 25 or whatever, he
- 30:06was like, "Just so you know, I'm going
- 30:07to I'm going to be a big part of your
- 30:10life. I'm going to change your life and
- 30:11one of your best friends. I'll be
- 30:12interviewing him in 25 years." I'll be
- 30:14like, "What the [ __ ]
- 30:15>> It's crazy.
- 30:16>> It's bizarre." So, wait. So, what is
- 30:18that like? I mean,

- 30:22expensive stuff? Did you stay I mean,
- 30:23your style has never moved at all.

- 30:43long
- 30:45>> I'm going to tell you I bought a pair of
- 30:46Dickies after you left cuz I thought it
- 30:47was a cool look. It did not look the
- 30:49same on me.
- 30:50>> Well, and my wife just bought me a pair

- 31:07of
- 31:09uh that's all I could think of at the
- 31:11time and I'm too lazy to think of
- 31:13something. Although I will say my wife
- 31:16is a stylist and she's I got I had like
- 31:18two pair of pants before I met her and
- 31:21now I got all kinds of pants. Bert my
- 31:24it's really got me all kinds of
- 31:26cardigans and she made this fancy shirt
- 31:29for me. Um I'm [ __ ] in tall cotton
- 31:33now. But what changes for you when you
- 31:36get famous? Like what was the broken
- 31:38part? What was the part where you're
- 31:39like, "Fuck, I gotta fix that." Or like
- 31:41what was the
- 31:41>> Well, that was one of the things. One of
- 31:43the parts that was broken I didn't want
- 31:45to fix because it was a part of me, you
- 31:48know, there's certain things that helped
- 31:49me do the stunts and and and I started
- 31:52therapy in 2006. I'm like, "Let's not
- 31:55fix that.
- 31:57>> Let's not fix let's work on everything
- 31:59else, but let's not work on that
- 32:01>> cuz then I'm out of a job." God, that's
- 32:04crazy.
- 32:05>> Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. But I was
- 32:08serious. And
- 32:11>> there's a part of me that I'm I'm
- 32:13dealing with that in therapy right now
- 32:14is uh I'm driven by impulse.
- 32:18>> Yeah.
- 32:18>> Impulse is my favorite thing in the
- 32:20world.
- 32:20>> Yeah. the the I think it's why I've
- 32:23never said no to I've only said no to
- 32:24coke ONCE
- 32:28because I feel like I feel like
- 32:32I feel like that you're willing to share
- 32:34that you do Coke with me like you're
- 32:36willing to open up and go just you know
- 32:37I do Coke. Would you like to do Coke?
- 32:40Yeah.
- 32:40>> Such a vulnerable moment. It's like a
- 32:42first kiss.
- 32:43>> You're a real empath.
- 32:44>> Yeah.
- 32:47>> Oh my god, that's so funny. I was I was
- 32:51so impulsive this and I was talking with
- 32:54my therapist and she said something at
- 32:57the time. I was like my god you're a
- 33:00genius. I never thought of that. And her
- 33:04statement was there's thought before
- 33:06action. And I was like oh my god that is
- 33:09[ __ ] great cuz with me it was just
- 33:12fast faster and disaster you know first
- 33:14thought best thought.
- 33:15>> Yeah.
- 33:16>> And you know it really helped. I don't
- 33:19like the thought.
- 33:21Like my favorite feeling in the world is
- 33:23that like like uh do you want to do it?
- 33:26And you go, "Yeah, yeah, let's do it."
- 33:28Like the less thought the better.
- 33:31>> I think
- 33:31>> how's that? I mean, you're doing good,
- 33:33but it's it's had to, you know, backfire
- 33:35a couple times.
- 33:37>> No,
- 33:40>> I feel like
- 33:44I
- 33:44>> mean, it's like crazy. I was talking to
- 33:46I was talking to Seth Meyers and he said
- 33:48to me, I don't know if he meant it as an
- 33:51insult or a compliment, but he goes,
- 33:52"Isn't it crazy that if you went in a
- 33:55time machine 35 years ago, but when you
- 33:59were 25 and you gave yourself advice, it
- 34:01would be don't change anything.
- 34:04As a matter of fact, lean into it like
- 34:06take the shirt off, gain weight, keep
- 34:08drinking." And I was like, "Yeah, that's
- 34:10crazy." Usually, like you go back in
- 34:12history and you're like, "Don't do
- 34:14this." And I'm like, I just And so I I I
- 34:16have no regret.
- 34:18>> You're like, well, thank you pretty
- 34:19much, Seth.
- 34:20>> Yeah. I wish I had never done I'm glad I
- 34:22did, but I wish I had never done the the
- 34:26angle of thrill [ __ ] cuz it gave me a
- 34:28lot of anxiety, a lot of PTSD. You have
- 34:30to have had PTSD.
- 34:32>> Me?
- 34:33>> Yes.

- 35:10is funny.
- 35:11>> Uh because we love to be offended.
- 35:13They'd be like, "OH MY, WHY ARE THEY

- 35:34uh this lead guy. Sometimes he has long
- 35:37hair and sometimes he's wearing a wig
- 35:39which he parks on his head like this
- 35:42because they they they got done with the
- 35:45movie and he cut his hair and they went
- 35:46back, "Oh, we have re-shoots." And so
- 35:49the first scene in the movie, he's got
- 35:51this wig and he's wearing it down like a
- 35:53ball cap way down here and then the and
- 35:56it's not even scene to scene. It will be
- 35:58like shot to shot. He'll be running down
- 36:00the street with real hair, neck shot,
- 36:03he's got a wig, they in a fight scene,
- 36:06he's getting in a fight with someone,
- 36:07they pull his wig off and he just puts

- 36:37that I go I bet that's in your
- 36:38wheelhouse.
- 36:39>> Like uh like I don't do that with Steo
- 36:42often, but I do that with
- 36:44>> Yeah, dude.
- 36:46>> He is uh he is such a That must be a
- 36:49crazy journey to watch a friend take.
- 36:51Like from like lunatic for on the street
- 36:55swallowing a goldfish
- 36:57to like he's got two three weeks left
- 37:00ops.
- 37:01>> Yeah.
- 37:02Like doing and he did the worst [ __ ]
- 37:06drugs like uh angel dust. He loved angel
- 37:11dust in those whippets. Those little
- 37:13canisters. Yeah.
- 37:14>> There would be hundreds, not 10 or 30,
- 37:18hundreds at his feet just
- 37:21as fast as he could do them.
- 37:22>> Yeah. And then and then to a thriving
- 37:26individual right now is insane.
- 37:29>> He's been sober for we put him away in
- 37:322008
- 37:34and he was pretty [ __ ] sour about it
- 37:37at first, but to his credit, he's like,
- 37:40"You know what?
- 37:42I think I do need to get sober." And
- 37:45it's [ __ ] amazing, man. Like like I
- 37:49get run over by a bull every now and
- 37:51then, but like him having to face that
- 37:52[ __ ] dragon every day.
- 37:54>> Oh,
- 37:54>> that's that's brave, man.
- 37:57>> Yeah. I I was I was a wild fan of his,
- 37:59too. And when I got to meet him, and I'm
- 38:02I'm friends with him now, but when I got
- 38:03to meet him, I was just like I I was
- 38:05blown away at like the possibility that
- 38:08I mean, no, I don't think anyone ever
- 38:10easily you guys could have been like
- 38:12there's no way this intervention is
- 38:14working.
- 38:15>> Oh, yeah. Because a lot of times they
- 38:17don't.
- 38:17>> Yeah.
- 38:18>> Cuz like you may want something may want
- 38:21someone to be sober, but unless they
- 38:23want to be,
- 38:24>> you got nothing.
- 38:25>> Yeah. It's funny. It's funny the the I
- 38:29It's got to be weird cuz you're, for
- 38:32lack of better words, like you're kind
- 38:33of like a big brother to all of them,
- 38:36>> interestingly enough.
- 38:37>> Yeah.
- 38:38>> I mean, all of them.
- 38:39>> And like I I wasn't always the best role
- 38:42model, you know? Like I was, you know,
- 38:44I'm probably I got schmasted the
- 38:47probably the night before I went to take
- 38:49him away,
- 38:50>> you know. But
- 38:51>> I want to talk about the first jackass.
- 38:53>> Yeah,
- 38:53>> cuz no one thought that would succeed.
- 38:55>> We didn't even think the [ __ ] show
- 38:57was going to get on TV. We our pilot got
- 38:59shut down.
- 39:00>> Oh, you guys they
- 39:01>> Our pilot got shut down before
- 39:05we even thought about being you on TV.
- 39:08Like we did a prank. It's in the new
- 39:11movie The Convict. saw it
- 39:12>> and our production.
- 39:14>> It's one of the most riveting
- 39:18it only because now that is common place
- 39:22on the internet that hey, it's a prank,
- 39:25right? That that energy is common place
- 39:27on the internet. This is 1998
- 39:31and it is cops. The cop's car drives
- 39:33into a wall.
- 39:35>> Oh man, I was Yeah. I as soon as the
- 39:38cops car I think it was a light pole. I
- 39:40was like, "Oh, we're in big trouble
- 39:42now."
- 39:43Like four, five carloads of cops.
- 39:45>> You can tell you're from the south in
- 39:47that moment.
- 39:48>> Oh, what what what did I
- 39:50>> Cuz you're like this. I have a camera on
- 39:53me. This is a prank. You're very
- 39:54respectful to cops. You're not like a
- 39:57punk. You're just like
- 39:58>> Well, it's no time to be a punk, you
- 40:00know, cuz like
- 40:01>> goddamn [ __ ] guns drawn on you.
- 40:04>> Yeah. And also like I'm like, well, we
- 40:07need this footage and if I'm a dick
- 40:10>> or they could arrest me, there's a lot
- 40:12of things. There's a lot of reasons to
- 40:14be polite, but I'm normally pretty uh
- 40:17polite. Um,
- 40:20>> but the cop told me, she goes, "If you
- 40:22would have moved one inch, I would have
- 40:24put a bullet in your ear." And so, uh,
- 40:27I'm glad I stood still, but that
- 40:30happened like five or six times. Uh,
- 40:32multiple car loads of cops with guns on
- 40:34me during jackass.
- 40:36>> Literally the next day they're like,
- 40:37"Well, we've been shut we've been
- 40:39they've pulled put Pauls on production."
- 40:41>> Yeah. Yeah. We got shut down and we're
- 40:43like, "Ah, it's like it's not even going
- 40:44to make it to TV."
- 40:46>> And then it goes to TV and then and then
- 40:48you do the movie. And I'll just say
- 40:50candidly, I think everyone was like when
- 40:52and I just from I remember being in a
- 40:54spin class at Crunch. Now, that is
- 40:59funny.
- 41:01>> And that someone goes, "You want to know
- 41:03what's crazy? The guy teaching this
- 41:04spincast was Bob from The Biggest
- 41:06Loser."
- 41:09It's so true. And uh and I I didn't know
- 41:12he was gay. I was like, "This guy's got
- 41:13to get so much [ __ ]
- 41:15>> He's killing it.
- 41:16>> He's [ __ ] cleaning up. He's got so He
- 41:18got so much [ __ ] He didn't even pay
- 41:19attention to the chicks in this room.
- 41:22He just likes talking to all us fellas.
- 41:26Good for him.
- 41:27>> I love a bro like that. And then uh
- 41:30someone casually goes, "Did you hear
- 41:32they're making Jackass the movie?" And I
- 41:34was like, and I was like, "For real?"
- 41:35And they're like, "Yeah, it comes out.
- 41:36It's coming out." And I was like, "Oh,
- 41:39when?" And they're like, "Like next
- 41:40weekend." And I had never heard of. I
- 41:42went, "No way." And they go, "That's
- 41:43going to flop." And I went, "Really?"
- 41:45And he goes,
- 41:45>> "That's how we felt."
- 41:46>> He goes, he goes, "It's what are they
- 41:48going to do that they haven't done on
- 41:49television? That's like if they made
- 41:51Seinfeld the movie." And I was like,
- 41:53"Oh, yeah, maybe." And then I went down
- 41:55to the coffee and I heard younger kid
- 41:57there. There was a coffee bean at the
- 41:59bottom and they're like, "Did you hear
- 42:00they're um making Jackass the movie and
- 42:03I'm listening behind them and they're
- 42:05like someone said, can you imagine what
- 42:08those guys will do with a budget?" And I
- 42:10went
- 42:12and as I watched I was like this just
- 42:14gets the [ __ ] second jackass is like
- 42:18a masterpiece.
- 42:20That is kind of everyone. All the cast.
- 42:24If we had to pick, it would be that one.
- 42:26That one
- 42:27>> That one's got That one's got the house
- 42:29drop. That one's got the [ __ ]
- 42:31shopping cart. It's got the snake. It's
- 42:33got the It's got his dick in the [ __ ]
- 42:36cage with the snake. It's a masterpiece
- 42:39of comedy. It's the jet ski. It's you
- 42:41guys in the [ __ ] Hollywood Hills. It
- 42:43is the greatest comedic representation
- 42:47of laughter in an hour and 15 minutes
- 42:50that there ever will be. And that is
- 42:52undeniable. I mean, when you look at a
- 42:54comedy movie, one of the best comedy
- 42:55movies, Happy Gilmore, amazing.
- 42:58>> Rewatch it and and it's still brilliant,
- 43:00but there's times where you're like,
- 43:02"Oh, that's interesting." You see
- 43:04Sandler's grown, you know, like that
- 43:06would be quicker, tighter, you know,
- 43:07that's his young Sandler. Dude, that
- 43:09[ __ ] movie. I mean,
- 43:13incredible. But Jackass, the movie takes
- 43:15off and you have a hit [ __ ] movie.
- 43:18What does that feel like?
- 43:20>> Uh, just I mean, it felt wonderful. Uh,
- 43:23we were surprised, you know, because
- 43:27each movie we're surprised that people
- 43:29come out um and grateful. But it it's
- 43:33wild like
- 43:36if
- 43:37younger me could have seen what was
- 43:40happening or you know it's
- 43:43it feels like it's happening to someone
- 43:45else almost you know. Yeah. Yeah. I feel
- 43:48like it sometimes I'm like I'm
- 43:52I I don't feel like that anymore, but
- 43:54early on I felt like I'm I'm living
- 43:56someone else's life because this can't
- 43:58be me.
- 43:59>> Yeah.
- 43:59>> Right. things can't be going this well
- 44:01for me. Uh so especially with my limited
- 44:06education, you know, it's
- 44:09>> Who do you call when you get the numbers
- 44:11for the first day? Like out of that
- 44:13whole group? I always figured it was
- 44:15either Tmaine or Spike.
- 44:17>> Well, we usually get those calls to We
- 44:20usually get those calls together.
- 44:22Really? like there'll be a group call
- 44:24like okay someone from either our agency
- 44:28or Paramount will go this is what it's
- 44:29going to do for the weekend and uh yeah
- 44:33it's crazy what's it like when the movie
- 44:36is a success I mean I I'm imagining $100
- 44:39million or something in the box office
- 44:41and then all of a sudden everyone starts
- 44:44seeing people with nicer cars but you
- 44:46still got guys like Steo or Bam who are
- 44:48like well where's my share of the money
- 44:49and like I can't imagine it's favored
- 44:52nation
- 44:52Like I've always wondered what cuz like
- 44:55Jeff I know there's been issues with BAM
- 44:58publicly with Jeff and you I think but
- 45:02like how does that break down because I
- 45:04know from comedy side
- 45:07>> we do arenas and we have opening acts
- 45:09and they don't make as much as we make
- 45:12and at times there will be people that
- 45:14work for you who get to who see your
- 45:17numbers and there's resentment.
- 45:19>> Yeah. And and I always wondered what
- 45:21that was like internally to a group
- 45:24that's kind of like a bunch of skaters
- 45:27where all of a sudden the guys who had
- 45:30the idea and are forestering the idea
- 45:32and talking to the execs and doing the
- 45:34day-to-day are sometimes getting what I
- 45:37had always assumed to be the lion share.
- 45:40Well, on the TV show, like we really
- 45:44Jeff and I really had no idea what we
- 45:47didn't have any idea how to pay people.
- 45:49Like at first we were paying them by the
- 45:52stunt,
- 45:53>> you know, and if they did a really
- 45:54dangerous stunt, they got more and it
- 45:56was just
- 45:58>> it was just a [ __ ] show, right?
- 45:59>> That's exactly what I hoped. Keep going.
- 46:01Um, and
- 46:04for the movies, we gave everyone uh a
- 46:07piece of the back end. And you know, as
- 46:10the movies, as each movie goes on, they
- 46:13everyone gets more of a back end.
- 46:16Everyone's equally as important in that
- 46:20movie. Yeah.
- 46:21>> In that series, there's not one person
- 46:24who's worth more. And and that's kind of
- 46:27proven as you've moved forward and
- 46:30you've introduced characters that like I
- 46:32love poopies.
- 46:33>> Poopies. I know exactly what you want me
- 46:36to do and I'll DO IT.
- 46:39>> THE BEST. He's the And he was attacked
- 46:42by a [ __ ] shark.
- 46:43>> He almost lost his hand all the way out
- 46:45his left hand.
- 46:46>> Yeah. And And if anyone should have bad
- 46:49energy towards Jackass, it would be the
- 46:51guy with the [ __ ] hand with the [ __ ]
- 46:53chubs hand. And and and Poopies has
- 46:56great [ __ ] energy.
- 46:58>> He like he and Aaron and I Steo did
- 47:01great in the new movie too, but
- 47:03>> like poopies is sober now and like sober
- 47:06>> poopies is sober.
- 47:07>> He's a f poop of sober poopies is a fun
- 47:10poopies to hang out with, you know. Uh
- 47:14he did amazing in the new movie. He's
- 47:16just
- 47:16>> everyone I mean
- 47:18>> Yeah,
- 47:18>> Zach is is just
- 47:22>> he's a sweetheart. I could watch him get
- 47:23out of Escalades all day long.
- 47:25>> He'll do He'll do like anything. We were
- 47:29We were shooting on Jackass Forever and
- 47:32there's this uh I don't know. It It's
- 47:35like a tower about 200 feet off the
- 47:37ground and it's I It just happens to be
- 47:40on the grounds of where we're shooting.
- 47:42>> Yeah.
- 47:43>> And Jeff is like, "Let's go [ __ ] with
- 47:45Zach." And he just pulls Zack out. He's
- 47:48like, "Zack, okay, for this next bit, I
- 47:51want you to uh climb that tower and
- 47:53you're going to put on these little
- 47:54wings and you're going to jump off the
- 47:56tower." You know, instant instant death.
- 48:00But I started like, "Yeah, you got
- 48:03this." But
- 48:06Zach was like, "Uh, okay. All right."
- 48:10And I could see that Zach really thought
- 48:12we were serious, and I just hadn't have
- 48:15the heart to continue with it. and I
- 48:18walked away, but Jeff just kept him on
- 48:20the hook for like 10 minutes and he
- 48:22thought he was he would have done it if
- 48:24we asked him to.
- 48:25>> Yeah, but that's the energy you want as
- 48:27a fan.
- 48:28>> As a fan, I got to tell you, Steo, you
- 48:30know I love you. You know I love you.
- 48:31I'm a ride or die for you, Steo. But
- 48:32when he wouldn't put that CAR UP HIS
- 48:34ASS.
- 48:36>> WELL, THAT would Oh, well, now he'll put
- 48:39everything up his ass.
- 48:40>> No [ __ ] Adam Ray is the best addition
- 48:44to Jackass that's ever [ __ ] happened.
- 48:47is funny as
- 48:48>> he when I saw him and I was like, "Oh,
- 48:50be in this one sketch." And he's in the
- 48:51whole [ __ ] movie.
- 48:53>> That was brilliant.
- 48:54>> Everyone loved him, man. He just cuz the
- 48:56the guys can the cast can be a little
- 48:59hard on newcomers,
- 49:00>> but they just instantly loved him. And
- 49:02he was the perfect voice of WW Larry.
- 49:05>> So,
- 49:06>> it was so great.
- 49:07>> Your your your guest stars have been
- 49:10>> Was Tommy Was Tommy Lee your first Brad
- 49:12Pitt was your first guest star?
- 49:14>> Tommy Lee. Uh yeah, I think Brad Pitt
- 49:17was the first guest star.
- 49:18>> Can you tell me how that happened? That
- 49:20was like that was a moment. That was a
- 49:22moment and and that was a moment of
- 49:24watching traditional Hollywood find the
- 49:26[ __ ] that we watched. Meaning we all
- 49:29love you Brad Pitt, but like we just
- 49:32thought he was this out of touch dude,
- 49:34you know, like Hollywood's movie star
- 49:35and then and you guys were like
- 49:37accessible. You ate at California
- 49:39Chicken Cafe. I mean like like and then
- 49:42all of a sudden you guys kidnap him. you
- 49:46you guys kidnap him and then you also
- 49:48ran around the streets in gorilla suits
- 49:50with him.
- 49:50>> That was initially all we were going to
- 49:52do with him. Like uh Spike had kind of
- 49:54broached the subject. Uh maybe he wants
- 49:58to be on the show and I was at Spike's
- 49:59house and Brad was there and he goes,
- 50:02>> you hang on. Stop. Stop. Stop. So, okay.
- 50:05>> So, you were at Spike's house and Brad
- 50:06Pitt just there?
- 50:07>> Yeah. Yeah.

- 50:11pretty big?
- 50:12Yeah, we're it's it's we're on and it's
- 50:14doing well.

- 50:16like, "Dude, I love your show."
- 50:17>> Yeah, I was went up and uh talked to him
- 50:19and um
- 50:20>> You're not nervous at all?
- 50:22>> No, I was probably hammered. Okay.

- 50:25in those days,
- 50:27>> but no, I did. He's like really down.
- 50:29He's really down to earth and easy to
- 50:31talk to and he said
- 50:32>> I have a buddy who met him and said he
- 50:33doesn't like him and he's just a distant
- 50:37[ __ ] And Tom, I'll edit that out or
- 50:39keep it in. Anyway, keep it. He was he's
- 50:41been nothing but nice every time I ran
- 50:44into him.
- 50:45>> And I said, "Hey, do you want to do
- 50:47something with this on the show?" And
- 50:48he's like, "Yeah." And I don't even know
- 50:51if we had anything to pitch then. And
- 50:53our idea or one idea we had was we'll
- 50:56put him in a gorilla suit and have him
- 50:58do some stuff around and at the end
- 51:00he'll take off his mask.
- 51:02>> That's all that was the only idea he
- 51:03showed up for.
- 51:04>> I watched that. That was on the TV show.
- 51:06Yeah,
- 51:06>> that was on the TV show. I watched that
- 51:08and when that gorilla mask came off I
- 51:10went, "Are you [ __ ] kidding me?"
- 51:13>> Yeah,
- 51:14>> this is Hold on everybody. You're to
- 51:16[ __ ] the Brad Pitt. You know, right now
- 51:18we're talking Fight Club Brad Pitt. A
- 51:20River Runs Through It Bad Brad Pitt.
- 51:22Thelma and Louise BRAD PITT. THE BRAD
- 51:25PITT WE [ __ ] KNEW WAS GOING TO BE THE
- 51:27NEXT TOM NEWMAN. Is that the right name?
- 51:29Tom, you know what I mean? Paul Newman.
- 51:33And you have him in a gorilla suit.
- 51:38Yes. And so that was the only idea and I
- 51:42was doing the old man stuff that day and
- 51:45they kind of had to wait on me to film
- 51:47that. We had to wait till it was night.
- 51:49And while we were waiting, Tmaine came
- 51:51up with that idea and he goes, "Hey, do
- 51:53you want to go down? We'll put you in
- 51:55front of Pinks and kidnap you." And he's
- 51:56like, "Yeah, that's fine."
- 51:58And the guys didn't anticipate how much
- 52:02he was going to fight back. They were
- 52:04like he was hard to get in the van, but
- 52:06he was just doing what he was supposed
- 52:08to do. Yeah. And he was just so I don't
- 52:10know. I really uh like him and he just
- 52:13was so cool with everybody. I remember
- 52:15we got uh we were in the kitchen and the
- 52:17lady
- 52:19uh Die who played my wife when I was
- 52:21Irving, you know, she was like 75ish
- 52:24>> and she brought in shrimp for everybody
- 52:27that day. And so she brought it and she
- 52:31handed me and Brad some shrimp but she
- 52:34didn't thaw it. So it was just like
- 52:37crunch crunch and two like we just what
- 52:41do you say in that position? You was
- 52:42like oh this is delicious and you was
- 52:45kind of looking at each other and kept
- 52:46eating but uh he was so nice to
- 52:48everybody. So uh [ __ ] your buddy
- 52:51>> Tom Cigar. I'm sorry the uh uh
- 52:54>> wait I just met him.
- 52:56>> No you didn't. He's you probably you
- 52:58could barely see him. He's [ __ ] 87
- 53:00pounds now.
- 53:01>> He's an example of if you heard of
- 53:03Ozmpic face.

- 55:17and I just love it and that he is doing
- 55:20well. It's like I can't, you know, can't
- 55:22really express how that feels. It's just
- 55:24>> Did you Did you coach him? Did you play
- 55:26with him growing up? coached him up
- 55:27until I was his coach on the teams until

- 57:05Application times may vary. Rates may
- 57:08vary. Is your sleep score lower than
- 57:10you'd like it to be on your Whoop or
- 57:13your Aura Ring or Apple Watch, whatever
- 57:15you use? Do you use sleep aids that are
- 57:18maybe a little bit too strong and you
- 57:20need something a little healthier? I
- 57:21know for a fact I love sleep and I love
- 57:23tapping out and going to sleep and I
- 57:25know that I want to be available the
- 57:27next day. Sleep is such an important
- 57:28part of our lives and in our health and
- 57:31our recovery and our workouts and
- 57:33getting good sleep can be absolutely
- 57:35life-changing. It can grease motivation,
- 57:37productivity, and overall well-being.
- 57:39But here's the thing, most sleep
- 57:42solutions have absolutely terrible side
- 57:45effects. Melatonin gummies are way too
- 57:47overdosed and they don't work fast
- 57:48enough. Over-the-counter sleep meds like
- 57:50Zezy Quill and all the other ones that
- 57:52are like that build up brain fog and
- 57:54tolerance within a couple weeks and then
- 57:57all of a sudden you got to take more
- 57:58like a full cup, which I've been there.
- 58:00And they're not meant for every night
- 58:03use. And prescription meds, honestly, I
- 58:06stay away from them entirely. I think
- 58:07they make you feel more dependent on a
- 58:09drug just to go to sleep. That's why I
- 58:12started recently using Ultra's new sleep
- 58:15pouches. They've been like a complete
- 58:18game changer. The idea behind this is
- 58:19genius. Everyone use pouches for
- 58:21increased energy. I know for a fact I
- 58:24love these. If I start writing, I throw
- 58:25two in. I'll throw two in now to get
- 58:27through this read. But uh Ultra has
- 58:30taken the idea and they've flipped it.
- 58:34These are pouches
- 58:37that you use at the end of the night to
- 58:38wind down and help you fall asleep and
- 58:41stay asleep. The great thing is they
- 58:43just use six clean researchback
- 58:45ingredients. That's one milligram of
- 58:47melatonin dosed at clinically optimal
- 58:49range so that you're not overdosing and
- 58:51feeling groggy the next day. Eltheanine.
- 58:53It reduces anxious thoughts while you're
- 58:55falling asleep. So it helps you feel
- 58:56refreshed when you wake up. Magnesium.
- 58:58Magnesium is a game changer. Relaxes the
- 59:00muscles. Calms down your nervous system.
- 59:02If you're not taking magnesium right
- 59:03now, you should. It's amazing.
- 59:05Chamomile, passion flour, and lemon balm
- 59:08extract, which supports sleep
- 59:10maintenance, reduces nervous
- 59:11restlessness, and reduces nighttime
- 59:14awakenings. This isn't just one
- 59:17ingredient doing one thing. It's a
- 59:18complete system perfectly designed to
- 59:21help you fall asleep faster, sleep
- 59:23better, and wake up feeling amazing.
- 59:25Ingredients have been carefully dosed so
- 59:27they are safe to use for every single
- 59:29night without building up a tolerance.
- 59:31And they're so easy to use. You just
- 59:32place one pouch in your mouth before bed
- 59:36and you'll be ready to fall asleep
- 59:37within 10 to 20 minutes. I'm telling you
- 59:39right now, my sleep score has been
- 59:40through the roof. I I swear by the
- 59:43reason I started taking them is my
- 59:44trainer brought these into the gym
- 59:46ultras
- 59:48and I was at first I was like I was like
- 59:50I don't know I mean I think I was doing
- 59:51the nicotine ones and then one day I was
- 59:53like sitting down to write and I was
- 59:54like you know I'll take I'll pop one in
- 59:56and it was cleaner and made me feel more
- 59:59efficient, more creative than coffee. No
- 1:00:01jitters. It was awesome. And I'm telling
- 1:00:03you right now the second they came out
- 1:00:04with the sleep pouches I was like dude I
- 1:00:06trust them. These things are awesome.

- 1:01:20>> Yeah. Me and my cousin Roger. Uh he uh
- 1:01:24it's the highlight of my week, man.
- 1:01:25Really?
- 1:01:26>> He's he's the funniest [ __ ] guy. Uh
- 1:01:29>> tell everyone about your cousin Roger
- 1:01:30real quick.
- 1:01:31>> Roger Allen Wade. Uh we have a show
- 1:01:33called The Big Ass Happy Family Jubilee
- 1:01:35on Sirius. It's on Outlaw Country and
- 1:01:38he's a singer songwriter. He, you know,
- 1:01:40he wrote the song If You're Going to Be
- 1:01:41Dumb, You Got to Be Tough, which is an
- 1:01:43It's kind of like Corona is our theme
- 1:01:45song, but that's kind of
- 1:01:48almost uh become our theme song.
- 1:01:52>> Yeah. Oh, by the way, hold on.
- 1:01:53>> Billy Strings just covered it for the
- 1:01:55movie and I think it just got released
- 1:01:57yesterday
- 1:01:58>> for real. Yeah, we have someone cover it
- 1:02:00every movie and uh Billy Strings luck,
- 1:02:03thank goodness, covered it for this one.
- 1:02:05>> Who released Are you going to put out an
- 1:02:06album for this movie?
- 1:02:08>> Uh I don't there's not one right now.
- 1:02:11It's just everything happened so fast
- 1:02:14and we didn't
- 1:02:14>> Put the lotion in the basket is one of
- 1:02:16the sneakiest, coolest songs.
- 1:02:18>> Yeah,
- 1:02:19>> it's very lowkey, but if you hear it,
- 1:02:21it's kind of eerie and [ __ ] awesome.
- 1:02:24>> Yeah, the Greenskeepers. And since it's
- 1:02:26a new movie, we're like, let's try maybe
- 1:02:28we try some new music for that scene.
- 1:02:30And we tried other songs. And I'm like,
- 1:02:33I I don't think so. Let's go back to the
- 1:02:35green. It just it just works great.
- 1:02:37>> So you're But your cousin by family?
- 1:02:41>> Yes. He's my first cousin.
- 1:02:43>> Oh, really? Yeah.
- 1:02:43>> Well, cuz a cousin in the south means
- 1:02:45like
- 1:02:46>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, there was incest
- 1:02:48in my family, too. I got one of those
- 1:02:50genealogy things done and uh
- 1:02:55and I'd have to meet this guy like once
- 1:02:57every six to eight weeks to get reports,
- 1:03:00you know. And I remember we met at the
- 1:03:03Mormon place down in West LA. Uh big
- 1:03:07place cuz Mormons keep the best records
- 1:03:09for some reason.
- 1:03:11>> And not that we're Mormon, it's just
- 1:03:13they keep great records.
- 1:03:14>> Yeah.
- 1:03:15>> And usually I walk in, hey man, how you
- 1:03:17doing? and he just kind of, you know, I
- 1:03:19could get him smiling and that day he
- 1:03:21was not smiling at all. I'm like, "Hey,
- 1:03:24what's going on?" And he's like, "Uh, we
- 1:03:25need to talk." I'm like, "All right,
- 1:03:26what's going on?"
- 1:03:28He's like, "Well,
- 1:03:30uh, I did some more research into your
- 1:03:33family and in the small, uh, rural, uh,
- 1:03:38villages that they lived in the south,
- 1:03:42uh, no one entered into the community
- 1:03:45and no one exited the community." And at
- 1:03:48that point,
- 1:03:49I start crying with laughter. He thought
- 1:03:53I was going to be so upset. He just gave
- 1:03:56me the best news I've ever heard.
- 1:04:00He was so confused why I was like,
- 1:04:04I said, "So there was incest in my
- 1:04:06family." He goes, "A significant
- 1:04:07amount."
- 1:04:11Now granted, it went back several
- 1:04:13generations.
- 1:04:15You monsters.
- 1:04:22my wife. I don't know if you met my my
- 1:04:23father-in-law downstairs.
- 1:04:25>> I Yeah, I think he was sitting there as
- 1:04:27I walked in.
- 1:04:28>> He's listening right now. And I
- 1:04:29apologize. I'm
- 1:04:30>> Yeah, I'm sorry.
- 1:04:31>> I apologize for the story I'm about to
- 1:04:33tell,
- 1:04:34>> but uh my wife grew up in a town very
- 1:04:37similar where not a lot of people came
- 1:04:38in and out of the community.
- 1:04:43And her father said something to her one
- 1:04:45time at a family reunion when she ran
- 1:04:47into a boyfriend.
- 1:04:49And she goes, "Wait, I'm related to
- 1:04:51him?" And her father said it and I put
- 1:04:54it in a special. He goes, "Shit, you
- 1:04:57kid, but you ain't blood."
- 1:05:02>> Which is the greatest statement I've
- 1:05:04ever heard. But you ain't blood.
- 1:05:07>> Just trying to make her feel better.
- 1:05:09>> Yeah, you can. But you ain't blood.
- 1:05:14Oh my god, that's wonderful.
- 1:05:16>> How small was your town growing up?
- 1:05:18>> Uh Knoxville
- 1:05:20uh was about
- 1:05:22120,000 probably at the time.
- 1:05:24>> Oh, I've been in Knoxville.
- 1:05:25>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There was a
- 1:05:26bunch of dudes when I first moved out
- 1:05:27here and I always felt a little bit
- 1:05:29ownership over it because I knew you
- 1:05:30first, but there seemed to be like a
- 1:05:32bunch of Timmy Wyoming's and uh and like
- 1:05:35Timmy Portland's and and Jason Jason
- 1:05:38Mains like like it seemed to be the
- 1:05:40thing. And I met a couple of them and I
- 1:05:42was like, "Nah, man.
- 1:05:45>> I know the first one."
- 1:05:47>> So, wait, what's the podcast going to
- 1:05:48be? It's you and Jeff.
- 1:05:51>> Yeah. And uh we're just talking, you
- 1:05:53know, about the the history of Jackass,
- 1:05:57whatever uh terrible ideas we're
- 1:06:00thinking of at the moment. We'll have
- 1:06:02cast members on and it's just uh things
- 1:06:06we're working on. It's just all things
- 1:06:08jackass and
- 1:06:11Jeff and I bounce around a lot. It's
- 1:06:14like two guys with ADD get their own
- 1:06:16podcast, but I think so far it's working
- 1:06:18all right.
- 1:06:19>> Whatever happened to Big Brother? Is
- 1:06:20that still around?
- 1:06:21>> No. Well,
- 1:06:23cuz most of the guys came from Big
- 1:06:24Brother.
- 1:06:25>> Yeah. Yeah. Big Brother. So, tell
- 1:06:26everyone real quick. Tell I don't know
- 1:06:28if everyone knows this. The origins of
- 1:06:31Jackass are you as a writer for Big
- 1:06:33Brother?
- 1:06:34>> Yes. Well,
- 1:06:35>> kind of. Kind of.
- 1:06:36>> Yeah. Well, a lot of the cast and crew
- 1:06:38of Jackass came from Big Brother.
- 1:06:41>> That was a magazine.
- 1:06:42>> Yeah. It's a skateboarding magazine. It
- 1:06:44was eventually owned by Larry Flint.
- 1:06:46That's when I started writing for them.
- 1:06:47It was owned by Larry Flint. And Tmaine,
- 1:06:50who directs Jackass, is, you know, our
- 1:06:53director and my created with Spike and
- 1:06:55I. And so when Jackass started,
- 1:07:01most people came started went from Big
- 1:07:03Brother to Jackass except for Dave
- 1:07:05Carney who stayed back at Big Brother
- 1:07:07and kept it going for another couple
- 1:07:09years cuz Jeff didn't want to just kill
- 1:07:12the magazine, right? And
- 1:07:15>> and that's one of those things. It's
- 1:07:16like Dave did the show a few times with
- 1:07:18us, but I feel like if I we had to do it
- 1:07:22over, we'd have just killed the magazine
- 1:07:24and and tried to get Dave on more.
- 1:07:27>> Yeah,
- 1:07:28>> Dave's okay with it. He's doing fine.
- 1:07:29He's a great writer. He's a great
- 1:07:30artist. But I that kind of sticks at me
- 1:07:33still.
- 1:07:33>> It's an interesting group. I mean,
- 1:07:35Dimmitri
- 1:07:36>> Dmitri who was a photographer
- 1:07:39at Big Brother, he became the director
- 1:07:41of photography. Everyone had [ __ ]
- 1:07:43titles when we started Jackass. No one
- 1:07:45knew what those titles were or what they
- 1:07:48did.
- 1:07:48>> Lance
- 1:07:49>> Lance Bangs. He's He's He's Lance Bangs
- 1:07:53is He didn't come from Big Brother. He
- 1:07:56Spike suggested Lance. And I always
- 1:08:00wonder about Spike and Lance. It's like
- 1:08:02why do you still work with us? Like you
- 1:08:05guys have legit, you guys are very
- 1:08:07bright and have legit careers.
- 1:08:09>> Tell everyone who Lance Bangs is.
- 1:08:11>> He's a he's a photographer. He's a
- 1:08:14director. He's uh uh just a brilliant
- 1:08:18guy. And I don't know why he still works
- 1:08:20with this. I'm just grateful he does. Um
- 1:08:24and he he has the he has one of the most
- 1:08:28nervous stomachs out of anybody.
- 1:08:31>> Yeah.
- 1:08:33>> He fell down andor puked at least four
- 1:08:37times in this movie. within
- 1:08:407 minutes of me arriving set the first
- 1:08:42day, he had fallen down by some accident
- 1:08:46that I had caused. Um, he just he gets
- 1:08:50overwhelmed and he pukes or falls over.
- 1:08:53It's almost it's the beauty of jackass.
- 1:08:58Not that I'm explaining this to anybody
- 1:08:59that doesn't already understand it, but
- 1:09:00it's a nuance. And I as a guy who's done
- 1:09:02a bunch of this is that there is no
- 1:09:04fourth wall. There is no third wall.
- 1:09:06There is no production per se. It is
- 1:09:09kind of all of the things. It's the
- 1:09:11cameras are on. The guys are there. If
- 1:09:14if if Lance is gagging, the camera cuts
- 1:09:17to him.
- 1:09:17>> Yeah.
- 1:09:18>> It is it if he's wearing a helmet, you
- 1:09:20cut to him in the helmet. I mean, it is
- 1:09:22it's really brilliant in in and had you
- 1:09:27had an executive, it wouldn't have been
- 1:09:29this good.
- 1:09:30>> Yeah. We were we're totally independent.
- 1:09:32We have Final Cut and and but my
- 1:09:35favorite thing with Lance is sometimes
- 1:09:38what's happening is so idiotic for his
- 1:09:43mind can't even process it and he starts
- 1:09:45laughing so hard.
- 1:09:47Boom. He just falls straight on his
- 1:09:49face. It happened in this movie. I don't
- 1:09:51I think we took it out but when Poopies
- 1:09:54was doing the uh the
- 1:09:57>> the the tight wire with the dick.
- 1:09:59>> Yeah. with the the dick shocker.
- 1:10:02>> He was having trouble taking some basic
- 1:10:04directions and he couldn't really wasn't
- 1:10:07comprehending what exactly was going on
- 1:10:10and Lance just it just drops his camera
- 1:10:13falls face first.
- 1:10:15>> It's so good.
- 1:10:16>> There's a moment in my genuine life
- 1:10:18where we had those dick Tom and I had
- 1:10:20those dick collars on. Tom Skagura and I
- 1:10:22>> just mind your own business.
- 1:10:24>> We're the dominatrix.
- 1:10:26>> And I wish we could have used this and
- 1:10:28we didn't. But it's like it's one of my
- 1:10:30favorite moments with my best friend is
- 1:10:32we're tethered dick to dick with seeing
- 1:10:35who could outlast each other
- 1:10:37>> on the shot collars.
- 1:10:38>> On the shot collars.
- 1:10:39>> Oh, that's a really good idea.
- 1:10:40>> And she was going up and going up and
- 1:10:42then going up. And then we both get to
- 1:10:4410. We're kind of
- 1:10:45>> Wait, are you guys like
- 1:10:47>> dock to dick?
- 1:10:48>> Docking like this.
- 1:10:49>> Oh, tip to tip.
- 1:10:50>> Tip to tip. Okay. Okay. Okay.
- 1:10:51>> And we're tethered really closely and
- 1:10:53we're stomach to stomach.
- 1:10:56>> Full eye contact.
- 1:10:57>> Full eye contact.
- 1:10:59>> Identical dicks. We have identical
- 1:11:00dicks. Identical dicks.
- 1:11:02>> Both huge.
- 1:11:03>> Very huge.
- 1:11:06Let's just say they're love seats.
- 1:11:07They're not wraparound couches.
- 1:11:09And so and she gets done and then and
- 1:11:15she goes, "That's as high as it goes."
- 1:11:16And I was like, "Okay." She goes, "So I
- 1:11:18guess you guys both win." And I'm like,
- 1:11:19"Great." And it's me and Tom. He goes,
- 1:11:21"Do you guys want to come?"
- 1:11:25>> And in only moments that you only
- 1:11:28experience privately, Tom just looks at
- 1:11:30me like going
- 1:11:32like, "How do we answer that?" And I go,
- 1:11:35"Do how would you do that?" And she
- 1:11:37goes, "I could just make you guys come
- 1:11:38real quick." And we were like, and Tom
- 1:11:40goes, "No." And I go, "No, I don't think
- 1:11:43we want to come." And she goes, "All
- 1:11:44right, then we're done." And I went
- 1:11:45like, "Hold on. Wait, walk us through
- 1:11:46more of how we we'd come. Do do you want
- 1:11:48to take a [ __ ]
- 1:11:49>> Yeah. Do you want to take a [ __ ]
- 1:11:52And then she was so casual about it. She
- 1:11:54goes, "I get you guys to come real
- 1:11:55fast." And we're like, "Wait, how would
- 1:11:57you do that?" And she was like, "Do you
- 1:11:58want me to show you?" And we're like,
- 1:11:59"No, no, no, no. Just tell us how you do
- 1:12:02that.
- 1:12:03>> While you're still like this?"
- 1:12:04>> Yeah. No. Yes. Yes. We're still
- 1:12:06tethered.
- 1:12:06>> But she was going to make you come while
- 1:12:08you're still tethered.
- 1:12:08>> I have no idea. She never walked us
- 1:12:10through it. She was just like, "Well, if
- 1:12:12you don't want to come, then when then I
- 1:12:13think we're done." And we were like, "Is
- 1:12:16>> Can I see this anywhere?" No, we I think
- 1:12:19it's behind a payw wall. We did it. And
- 1:12:21by the way, that because Tom is not
- 1:12:24Johnny Knoxville. Tom's like, "Eedit all
- 1:12:26that out where we have wives." And I was
- 1:12:28like, "We didn't we don't come though."
- 1:12:30Like what? Like Like we never came.
- 1:12:34I mean, there's so much cuz Tom's like
- 1:12:36just But we're have careers.
- 1:12:38>> He regretted it.
- 1:12:39>> No, he still doesn't regret it. He's
- 1:12:41Tom's like
- 1:12:42>> he says it when he went to see it. Tom's
- 1:12:44like he made sure that it was not like
- 1:12:46Tom was he was fat at the time too and
- 1:12:49he was like there's he's a dude Tom is
- 1:12:51never gonna be on Jackass. He is the
- 1:12:54[ __ ] furthest from Jackass. He
- 1:12:56doesn't like surprises. He doesn't like
- 1:12:58f if you don't answer the call or phone
- 1:13:00to return a call he gets freaked out.
- 1:13:01>> Well that's great. Like if he didn't
- 1:13:03like surprises like he's going to give a
- 1:13:05great reaction.
- 1:13:06>> Oh
- 1:13:07>> yeah.
- 1:13:07>> Oh I would love
- 1:13:09>> Yeah. He would give a great reaction.
- 1:13:12So, if you need any help
- 1:13:14>> Oh my god, I would love that. He loves
- 1:13:17practical jokes when he's in control.
- 1:13:19>> He likes to be the hammer, not the nail.
- 1:13:22>> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's interesting
- 1:13:26the friend how a friend
- 1:13:30ends up defining you.
- 1:13:32>> Like cuz like it's interesting that like
- 1:13:34one of the one of the greatest people in
- 1:13:36the world in my opinion and feel free to
- 1:13:39tell me if I'm wrong is Chris Pontius. I
- 1:13:42was I almost asked you if you'd ever met
- 1:13:44him before I got to hang out with him
- 1:13:46because I think you would love him.
- 1:13:47>> I don't know now. Now I I and I only say
- 1:13:49that because I know I know I think I've
- 1:13:51met Yuan and I think I've met uh I think
- 1:13:54I've met Lacy. I know I've met Weeman. I
- 1:13:57know I know Steo. I met Dimmitri one
- 1:14:00time in New York and we ended up
- 1:14:01drinking and talking just about Jackass.
- 1:14:03I feel like I would have I met Ryan. I
- 1:14:05met the whole Philly crew. I met Bam.
- 1:14:07Yeah. What was so interesting about Ryan
- 1:14:09Dunn
- 1:14:11>> is
- 1:14:12and I only need to share this because
- 1:14:14it's a positive thing and he's no longer
- 1:14:16with us.
- 1:14:16>> We did the test for Travel Channel to it
- 1:14:18was called Birth Conquer was the show.
- 1:14:20It was going to be called Done the
- 1:14:21Conqueror. Birth Conqueror or two other
- 1:14:23guys auditioned. I don't know who they
- 1:14:24are
- 1:14:24>> and um or tested. All we had to do is
- 1:14:28ride a roller coaster with a with um a
- 1:14:30blindfold on and it was it was about
- 1:14:32mostly roller coasters, but you also did
- 1:14:34like wild thrills like jump off the
- 1:14:36stratosphere, jump off buildings, swim
- 1:14:39like it swimming sharks. It was crazy
- 1:14:41stuff,
- 1:14:41>> right? And you hate roller coasters,
- 1:14:42right? You say
- 1:14:43>> I hate hate roller coasters.
- 1:14:44>> Yeah. Which is great TV if you really
- 1:14:46hate something.
- 1:14:47>> Yeah.
- 1:14:49And uh Dunn had two of his buddies with
- 1:14:52him and then bam and the whole
- 1:14:54Pennsylvania crew came out to support
- 1:14:57him.
- 1:14:57>> Oh, that's nice.
- 1:14:58>> And yeah, it was very nice. And it was
- 1:14:59at the very beginning of Jackass.
- 1:15:01>> I was 36 at the time. And so whenever
- 1:15:04that No, it wasn't at the beginning of
- 1:15:05Jackass. It was 10 years after Jackass.
- 1:15:0710 years. But I remember kids yelling do
- 1:15:09jackass to Bam. And he was like, I don't
- 1:15:12know how to do jackass. And they're
- 1:15:14like, do jackass. But Dunn came up to me
- 1:15:18and we kind of met and I was a fan. I
- 1:15:20didn't let him know that I was a fan.
- 1:15:22And then we were sitting at picnic
- 1:15:23tables and he came up to me and he goes,
- 1:15:25"Dude, I think you're going to get this
- 1:15:26show." And I was like, "Really?" And he
- 1:15:28goes, "My buddies rode the ride with
- 1:15:30you." And they said, "You're [ __ ]
- 1:15:32hysterical." And I was like, "Really?"
- 1:15:33And he goes, "Did you really ask if a
- 1:15:36blind person had ever ridden this ride?"
- 1:15:37And I was like, "Well, yeah, because
- 1:15:38we're blindfolded."
- 1:15:40>> And I just said, "Have you ever had a
- 1:15:42blind person on this ride?" And they're
- 1:15:43like, "How would I know if they're
- 1:15:44blind?" And I go, "Have you ever had to
- 1:15:45watch someone's dog?" And they were
- 1:15:48like, "Or hold someone's cane. Has
- 1:15:51anyone ever had sunglasses on?" Like,
- 1:15:54and
- 1:15:56wait, but why why is a watching
- 1:15:59someone's dog an indication of
- 1:16:01blindness?
- 1:16:02>> Cuz they have a watch they're a dog that
- 1:16:03can see my dog.
- 1:16:04>> Okay. Okay. I got it. I got it. I got
- 1:16:06it. Okay.
- 1:16:06>> And D sat with me and he was like, "Why
- 1:16:08did you say that?" And I said, "Because
- 1:16:10I was if it was a blind person." He
- 1:16:12started laughing and he goes, "So wait,
- 1:16:14is that like so like what do I just
- 1:16:17thought we were supposed to scream and I
- 1:16:18was like, "No, I don't know what we're
- 1:16:19supposed to do, man." And we ended up
- 1:16:21hanging out. And then I reached out to
- 1:16:24him a couple times. So I was in that
- 1:16:25area.
- 1:16:25>> You talked. He's like, "You talked?"
- 1:16:26>> He's like, "So wait, like I thought we
- 1:16:28were just supposed to scream and I was
- 1:16:29like I was like, "No, I I don't know
- 1:16:31what you're supposed to do in this
- 1:16:32show."
- 1:16:33>> Yeah. And then I ended up getting it and
- 1:16:34I ended up keeping in touch with him
- 1:16:36because I would do shows out in Philly
- 1:16:38or that area and I'd always like, "Yo,
- 1:16:40come out to a show and see." But he was
- 1:16:43the sweetest [ __ ] guy. Him and Chris
- 1:16:46Pontius are like,
- 1:16:49>> in my opinion
- 1:16:51>> were kind of a little bit of the heart
- 1:16:52of the of Jackass.
- 1:16:54>> Oh yeah.
- 1:16:54>> Like Chris Pontius and I I may have met
- 1:16:57Chris. I feel like I would have
- 1:16:58remembered by but I party a lot. I party
- 1:17:01a lot. Um, he has he's like poopies.
- 1:17:06Like he says things and he's not trying
- 1:17:08to be funny. They just come out
- 1:17:09hysterical.
- 1:17:10>> Well, I mean, Pontius is the funniest,
- 1:17:14if you ask me. He's he's funnier than
- 1:17:17me. He's funnier than everybody. And
- 1:17:19>> his cribs is the greatest cribs it's
- 1:17:21ever been
- 1:17:22>> in his truck
- 1:17:23>> in the back of a Toyota Tundra.
- 1:17:25>> Truck.
- 1:17:26>> Him and Red uh Red Red Man have the two
- 1:17:29best cribs ever. Oh, what's Red Man's?
- 1:17:32>> Have you never seen Red Man's?
- 1:17:33>> No.
- 1:17:34>> Red Man just goes to his apartment.
- 1:17:35Everyone else was running houses and he
- 1:17:37took you to his apartment and it was
- 1:17:38like his his PlayStation that had to be
- 1:17:42kind of rigged to keep the thing plugged
- 1:17:44in so it was up against the wall and it
- 1:17:46was like I mean it was his real place.
- 1:17:48>> Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:17:49>> Pontius's was the best.
- 1:17:50>> Yeah.
- 1:17:51>> How did you meet him?
- 1:17:52>> He was came from Big Brother. Uh he was
- 1:17:55a skater and he started out being
- 1:17:58interviewed for Big Brother. Then he
- 1:18:00started working for Big Brother and Jeff
- 1:18:02would fire him and then always rehire
- 1:18:04him because you can't help but love
- 1:18:06Pontius and he's just um man his his
- 1:18:11father's a surgeon and his sister's a
- 1:18:13surgeon and he has that type of brain.
- 1:18:16He's just really creative and uh he's
- 1:18:20just so [ __ ] funny and uh like I
- 1:18:23remember and he could be a real handful
- 1:18:26too sometimes
- 1:18:27>> for real. Oh my god. Back when he was
- 1:18:31drinking and and you know he get on
- 1:18:33flights drinking and taking
- 1:18:35>> you know he'd mix Xanax and ambient and
- 1:18:38the next thing you know his his mind is
- 1:18:42off but his body is on. So he would walk
- 1:18:45into the bathrooms. He not doesn't
- 1:18:48remember any of this. He walk into the
- 1:18:49bathroom, open the door,
- 1:18:52stand in the bathroom and then he'd be
- 1:18:55in the hall. He'd open the bathroom
- 1:18:56door, close the bathroom door, turn
- 1:18:59around, and start peeing. But he never
- 1:19:02went in. He's just standing in the
- 1:19:04middle of the aisle of the plane
- 1:19:06pissing.
- 1:19:07But in his mind, he's peeing. Or he
- 1:19:09would crawl over uh to get in an empty
- 1:19:13seat, but it would be like a family of
- 1:19:15three, you know, he doesn't know.
- 1:19:18And and uh Tmaine, you can see Tmaine,
- 1:19:21he'd have a hood on and he'd put his
- 1:19:23hood on and just pull it all tight and
- 1:19:25just look down.
- 1:19:27>> I mean, Wild Boys is is easily one of
- 1:19:30the most enjoyable.
- 1:19:33>> I love that show.
- 1:19:34>> Wild Boys was so when they got actually
- 1:19:36attacked by lions. Yeah, that is maybe
- 1:19:39my favorite moment in tele. There's so
- 1:19:41many of my favorite moments in
- 1:19:43television that you have been a part of
- 1:19:45that you've orchestrated that have been
- 1:19:47like just I mean I don't think anyone
- 1:19:49will ever remember what it's like to be
- 1:19:51at home. No one will know what it's like
- 1:19:53to be at home and turn on the television
- 1:19:56and be astounded by something you watch
- 1:19:59because everything now is just like
- 1:20:00this.
- 1:20:01>> Yeah. Like I don't know if jackass could
