Starting point is 00:01:50 Welcome to the pod. Thanks for having me, man. Of course. It's good to have you here. Yeah. Well, I mean, let's get into it. What are we doing? We're pounding this magic mind.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Magic mind. Yeah, which you were super chill about. Yeah. I asked you, I was like, is it cool if we rep our sponsors? And you were like, dude, let's go. I tried this the other day and I liked it. Nice. Yeah, it's good. It's got
Starting point is 00:02:14 matcha, daptogens, nootropics. I drink it every morning. I love it. Do you think in the future all food will be like goo? As we run out of resources and we have to turn to some kind of, like, powdered mung to save us? I think we're going to have bigger problems than that.
Starting point is 00:02:36 What could be bigger than that? I mean, we live in an age of mega threats. Yeah. Like, I mean, climate change is a legit mega threat. Nuclear war. I mean, isn't it crazy that nuclear war is, like some people describe it as an inevitability. Really?
Starting point is 00:03:01 Yeah, like once it all all goes like widening conflict well if they're there at some point they're going to be used yeah it's nuts and then and then what else we've got uh debt is probably the biggest one yeah what's going on with all that debt just piling up we just owe people trillions well yeah they say that the national debt's at like 3131 trillion right now, but that's not counting what's called unfunded liabilities, like Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid. When you count the unfunded liabilities, it's over $100 trillion.
Starting point is 00:03:38 It's never going to be paid, and there's either default or you just print money to the point where it's absolutely worthless and he would have to call it in for us to default I mean aren't we bring like like teetering on the brink of it every time they have like the government's gonna shut down we got to you know raise the debt ceiling yeah you know like we we we heard that periodically before but now it's a yearly occurrence not even yearly more than yearly i think by yearly i don't know what what intervals it happens at but um it's yeah it's just it's crazy man and then like
Starting point is 00:04:19 what else is there aside from debt i think wealth disparity is uh you know yeah at some point people are going to rise or sorry go ahead no well yeah especially in the past three years it just feels like there's a a weight that that like a heavy weight on everyone's shoulders that you know i guess during covid you're like well this will end soon but now covid's over and you're like well now it kind of feels heavier and i don't know if it's right do you, you're like, well, this will end soon. But now COVID's over and you're like, well, now it kind of feels heavier. And I don't know if it's... Right. Do you feel like that's going away?
Starting point is 00:04:51 I mean, I think... I remember talking to a buddy of mine, probably 2012. Yeah, like over 10 years ago. And I was saying to him i was like dude for our parents uh a university diploma meant placement in a career of your choosing but for us like not so much you know it was that people thought of it as helpful but no guarantee And then for our kids, it's like, forget about it. It's completely useless and represents nothing but massive debt. Yet if people feel hopeless,
Starting point is 00:05:32 if they don't feel like things can get better, then they tend to behave in unpredictable and chaotic and sometimes violent ways. Sure. I mean, crime is crazy, man. I think that especially in Los Angeles, certainly in San Francisco, like all kinds of places, it feels like what you call the frog in the boiling pot scenario. Turn it up slow, baby.
Starting point is 00:05:58 It slowly gets worse and worse to the point where you just don't. I mean, look at the things that we're desensitized to now now it's like organized broad daylight smashing grabs you know like like the car carjacking is you know like like pretty crazy crime man do you think uh do you think something's going to come along that like do you think things are going to get worse and worse and then something comes along like ai that's like here's a solution uh or do you think it's kind of or quantum computing do quantum computing yeah i wonder man i mean like uh if anything i think that exacerbates the problem because you've got these technologies that make even more jobs obsolete yeah it'll be exploited by people rather than used to create abundance for all people right um but we're silver bullet thinkers over here we think there's a an elixir that's coming down the pipe that the techno gods will bestow upon us
Starting point is 00:06:58 right i um that was nice thanks dude yeah and and and I stomped on it, too. I've been really, for some time now, working on my conversational etiquette and not interrupting so much. I blew it right there. I'm terrible at that. All good, man. All good. I have had a really kind of pessimistic doomsday,
Starting point is 00:07:21 like we're all screwed mentality. And I think it's kind of starting to shift a little bit because um you know i've i've just been so like kind of gripped by anxiety like super like high strong like trying like i feel like i'm so ambitious like i want to like accomplish i want to succeed and it's like a lot of the time I feel like I'm just trying like trying to force things to happen that just aren't supposed to happen you know and like if things aren't going the way that that I feel that they need to be going then I'm like I'm snapping like freaking out you know like I've been on this uh this promotional run i've been
Starting point is 00:08:06 on to promote this this new special i have i've uh you know there have been snappers hiccups like just a lot of pressure and and i've not been handling it well and it kind of came to a point where i'm like dude i just gotta let go and chill out and somehow what that's what that's looked like for me is uh a shift in what i'm consuming on youtube going from like all murder interrogation room true crime you know like to like near-death experiences people recounting what it was like you know I listen to those might go to sleep the best it's amazing it's amazing it's amazing and and and and another thing that I just got turned on to which I think is really helping to like shift my
Starting point is 00:09:02 my mentality is videos about synchronicity and how like if you just like let go you don't try to force everything and will everything happen just like what's going to happen is is going to happen you know and and uh i don't know i just i feel like it's helping me relax a little bit and And in this more positive, optimistic content consumption, I've been getting the message that the future is actually really going to be awesome. Well, do you feel like when you first gained success, though, that it was through that energy of like kicking down the door and of like going for it. And so not only is that what you're used to, but that's what's worked for you.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Yes, I absolutely. Um, and, and I also too, you know, like, I think that my default setting is just one of like super anxiety and like everything's not gonna be okay like i'm gonna be absolutely screwed if i don't frantically hurry up and try to make something happen because everything's not gonna be okay like and that was even your persona on camera too yeah and um were it not for that kind of being in my dna then I don't know that things would have worked out for me. You know, like, it represents, it presents as hustle, is how I like to call it, you know? Like, I could be a super content, happy, well-adjusted person,
Starting point is 00:10:42 but I think that that would probably equate to laziness. And by being a wildly uncomfortable, high-strung, anxious person, that equates to productivity. I think there's, because I'm into the near-death experiences, synchrony, all that kind of stuff as well. I consume a lot of that content because i'm the same way where it's like if i don't feel like i'm doing something if i'm like not feeling ambitious then you know the catastrophe is gonna happen like i'm fucked yeah and so but then i've been like did you know michael singer have you heard of him i i can't i can't say that that i i I check him out he's like a guy he talks about the he has this book
Starting point is 00:11:29 called the surrender experiment which is kind of like what you're talking about oh wow okay now and then they just came out with the surrender experiment part two I think so yeah he's written like somebody gave me this book and they gave me this part two book and I just haven't read it he's great for stuff like this because he talks about his whole life journey
Starting point is 00:11:46 where he just surrendered to whatever life threw at him, where he just basically just said yes to everything. And then he basically became like a billionaire. Wow. But I just, you know, he's like with this idea that there's some like intelligent force that he's surrendering to that's guiding him, guiding him along the way. It's really good.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Right. There's, there's also, I saw on a thing last night that there's some, uh, take on, uh, like karmic energy,
Starting point is 00:12:16 which, which, uh, it, it was suggesting that in like past lives, like all kinds of stuff has happened, which led up to the experience we're having now. And that all of that built up karma literally dictates how this life is going to go. And no matter how much you try to deviate from what's supposed to happen yeah it's gonna happen
Starting point is 00:12:47 yeah whether you bang your head against the wall and and uh try your ass you know then i'm also reminded of uh somebody saying yeah you can you can pray to have like good breath like pray to not have bad breath but you also gotta like floss your teeth and brush right you know like so how much you can really let go without like doing your own work i mean that boils down to like intuition and i think that the answer is going to be in following passion not following stress yeah it's like listening to because like because i you know like with that spiritual stuff is sort of like you know just be relaxed and be content basically but you're like well what do i what do i do every day and i think it is that kind of guided action where you're like you listen to yeah what feels good sometimes it does feel good but what feels right i think like for you not not for like
Starting point is 00:13:54 what you like like hedonistic kind of stuff but like what feels right for your soul if that makes sense yeah i don't know is that too like yeah man. Yeah. And I think that there's another dynamic too that where when people become successful, their biggest mistake is then they start trying to do too many things. And I think, not to say that I'm like super successful, but I think that I've gotten to a point of trying to do too many things where like it's uh it's kind of wearing me down right you know and you say yes to it because you're worried if you don't you'll miss out on more success yeah yeah um yeah i mean i look back on when I put together this bucket list show. It was 2018 when I really started. And for eight months, I didn't tour.
Starting point is 00:14:56 I hadn't started doing a podcast yet at that point. I was uploading YouTube videos maybe like once every three months or something I was just like I was not doing anything except just focusing on on building what would become the bucket list tour mm-hmm and I'm looking back on him like I couldn't have been like earning but I had to have been a terrible year financially but I was just better I made this great thing you know and then in the years since 2018 i did nothing but just like continue to work i did i did a million things but i continued to evolve that show and kick out bits and film better ones and and just elevate it and
Starting point is 00:15:40 tighten it up um and now that the bucket list specials out now i'm like i gotta put together my next tour and i gotta keep doing the podcast and and and i gotta i have to upload like epic youtube videos every single week and i gotta do this and i gotta you know and i think that's why i'm like just was it do you feel like you have to because is it more like the attention that stuff would get or the money that stuff gets uh probably both but um the other thing is that like i built this um this big like merchandising business like um during the pandemic like i really like i couldn't tour i shifted my attention to you know e-commerce and i started selling like a ton of merch and it got to a point where i
Starting point is 00:16:39 got my own warehouse and staffed it and my own fulfillment company. And then that went well enough that I added a second warehouse. And then now, you know, a few years later, like it seems pretty evident that to your point, the weight that people, people's expendable income is not what it was during the pandemic. And so like, I've got all these like super fixed overhead costs staff warehouse like you know payroll like crazy and um and it's turning into a situation where the infrastructure i built is just hemorrhaging money whoa so part of me it's
Starting point is 00:17:23 like i gotta do this i gotta do that to like you know you gotta keep everything going and to take care of people gotta keep everything going and i have a ton like not a ton but i've got like a good dozen people whose livelihood is on my shoulders right and then if the special pops and that channels more energy and and purchases to that and then everything kind of grows together um yeah not as much with the special because um it's uh like like the i put spent so much damn money on the special did they send you guys a link to it yeah the uh just the opening sequence with like 90 seconds of footage cost over 150 grand. Wow. Like that.
Starting point is 00:18:08 And all in, I probably spent a full like half a million dollars just producing this special. So I'm trying to get my money back for putting that much into it. But it's a real labor of love then.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Oh my God, I love it so much, dude. It's genuinely the fucking greatest thing I've ever made that's amazing and um so yeah like i'm trying to get my money back and then after a period then i'll just try to get eyeballs on it but to answer your question like like uh it's really the the free content that you put on the internet that kind of generates all the activity with all of the... When you were young, did you ever picture yourself being in this kind of CEO position? Or is this kind of like novel to you? Not even. I never pictured myself like turning 30.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Right. You know, from just like an early age, was just like damn i'm not gonna live very long it was what i was convinced interesting what prompted the uh the sort of career switch to youtube podcasts all that stuff um that was uh like a necessity kind of man i mean we jackass started in the year 2000 and i moved out to la in 2001 you know it all was like kind of like happening real fast the tv show and then the first jackass movie then i went right into doing the wild boys show coming out of wild boys we went right into jackass number two the second movie so that was just like kind of non-stop activity and um then in between the second movie and the third movie like the
Starting point is 00:19:55 wheels fell off and i had to get clean and sober and that was just all i focused on then the third movie, I was still in early sobriety for the third movie. And after that third movie, I started doing stand-up, like touring. But everything else just kind of dried up, went away. And by 2013, the third movie came out 2010 by 2013 like there was no activity really to speak of in like the entertainment industry for me and i was trying to pitch the show and i and nobody wanted it and and knoxville was filming the bad grandpa movie, which was under the Jackass banner, but with none of the Jackass guys. So I was like, man, now I'm the Jackson 4. And the entertainment world is just done with me.
Starting point is 00:20:55 I just thought it was a pretty dark time. And I was encouraged to get on YouTube, which I felt was pretty major demotion at the time. I was like, dude, I've the time like i was like dude i've been in big movies like i've had my own tv shows like i'm gonna upload it it felt like and that's what saved saved my ass dude yeah you know i didn't think there was any money in it i didn't think i just thought i was doing it just for my own sanity just to make stuff just to make stuff man like uh just for you know so i got on youtube and that was 2013 so now it's been over 10 years and uh man by learning i never even learned how to edit
Starting point is 00:21:35 footage until 2013 and then when i learned how to edit and started making my own content like i it was like a rebirth for me well then so going to earlier when you joined jackass were you i can't remember were you from the cky group i was from the big brother brother okay yeah and so that was like the magazine and that was like ponnius and uh we man and we man and then knoxville and knoxville did like the bulletproof vest that was his big one right and what what drew you to that world because you didn't skate right I did skateboarding brought me to the video camera when I was 15 years old I started making videos I would have loved to have been a pro skateboarder
Starting point is 00:22:18 but I just wasn't that good same so like I kind of made it my mission to be in skateboard videos like just doing crazy stuff you know like like even skateboarders that like would find watching in an hour of nothing but skateboarding to be pretty tedious and so skateboarding videos have always had like comic relief like crazy stuff to break up the monotony of it and i've just wanted to to make it like my mission to be that comic relief and so that's what like uh made me gravitate towards big brother and um you know the big brother videos that had their own cult following they got really popular and then uh knoxville and tremaine reached out to spike jones they're like hey dude if we subtract the skateboarding from big brother we think we could
Starting point is 00:23:19 have a tv show what was it like working with spike jones it's always been rad you know um people think it's so counterintuitive that um spikes this uh academy award-winning movie director like super high art and that it's a departure for him to be a part of uh of jackass but i i see it the other way around you know like spike's first video project was a pretty filthy skateboarding video. There's two sides to him. Yeah, I think that the departure was more into the high art stuff. He does it all and he's epic, man.
Starting point is 00:23:59 I love Spike and like so grateful for him too because all the stuff that I do on my own, like I'll send it to him and you know, and he supports, you know, he's just super supportive and, and it's pretty rad. It's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Yeah. Yeah. You said something amazing in that big brother doc on Hulu where they were talking about like what got them into it. You're one of the only people I've ever heard say this. And you just point blank were like, I wanted to be famous. Sure. Yeah, I mean, that was the whole deal.
Starting point is 00:24:37 I wanted, I mean, like I said, I never thought I was going to live to be 30. I figured that I was going to fail at life and die super young having failed and um you know that was sad and upsetting to me and and um my videotaping stunts i said i was gonna become a crazy famous stuntman but i think i probably thought it would be more likely that i died and my hope was to be discovered be infamous what to yeah like i thought you know sure i'll be dead but if i can just film enough crazy stuff that's crazy enough then uh like the videos will live it'd be like the stuntman van gogh or something yeah big time the van gogh of the home video camera and uh you know so it was just that that was it and i found it amazingly endearing actually that you said that though because i think and i was uh you
Starting point is 00:25:33 know open mics at the time and i was like i would be like no i want to be an artist but there was that real part of me that just wanted people to recognize me and then so to hear someone say it i was like well it seemed like a lot of maturity to get to that point where you could look back and just be like no i was i wanted to be special yeah i mean i described myself as an attention whore you know it's plain and simple through and through people always ask do i have a a uh like a special threshold for pain and the answer is no i just have a desire for attention that outweighs my desire for comfort what is your relationship to pain did you always have a greater threshold for it than other people no not even so it hurts you as much as yeah i mean as far as you can tell if if i had some special threshold for pain then there wouldn't be like a reaction to it you know and and uh yeah i'm not
Starting point is 00:26:27 special i just i'm just that much of an attention whore i feel like you are tougher than most though maybe in some cases you know there are certainly some situations that uh that i that i guess i can weather but um but i i don't think i'm that special jackass 2 is actually like that i watched that movie on repeat man well you know what one thing that was so great about the jackass movies is like the stunts were amazing stuff but the camaraderie is like that that was like watching you guys hang out was to me and in like high school I was like that's that's all what my friends and I had to be like like that was a yeah there's not really a question there
Starting point is 00:27:15 but it's just like something of note where I was like I always watch that I'm like I wanna laugh that hard with my friends yeah I don't know that there's uh another kind of um a franchise in entertainment where um like the the cast you know we call it the peanut gallery yeah like one guy one or two guys is doing a stunt and then the other guys are just on camera as spectators yeah and this peanut gallery of spectators like if they're laughing then we know it worked yeah and um yeah i don't know that there's i can't think of other like shows or movies that uh that do it that way i mean i suppose there there probably is. I mean, the scene with Wee Man where he's getting his ass shocked.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Yeah, it's the card-throwing machine. Yeah. It's funny. One of the greatest lines in history. But going back to your transition, do you feel like sort of having built your own kind of pirate ship? Sure. Does it feel more fulfilling in that way? I mean, absolutely, man.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Yeah. Like between the third Jackass movie and the fourth Jackass movie, there was 10 years of nothing. And over the course of those 10 years, there would be periodically, generally, from one guy, a mass email to everybody. Like, come on, let's make another movie. Let's get this. And it just wasn't happening.
Starting point is 00:28:57 And I remember thinking, like, oh, God. I'd even respond. I'd say, like, hey, guys, I'm doing really gnarly stuff on YouTube. I'd way rather do it for a movie. But if there's no movie, I'll just keep doing it on YouTube. And that is, I think, sums up how rad it is that with YouTube, with all the various platforms, that you don't need permission. There's no barrier for entry.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Anybody can start building an audience and make a career out of that. It's killer. Yeah, and it just is like the creativity and I feel like too, because we'll pitch shows and it's sort of in and out of that world and there's something about that constant kind of
Starting point is 00:29:49 where you just want the approval of Hollywood, right? For sure. And then transitioning to the kind of just building your own audience, it's just so much more, I think they're equally tough, but if you can get there, it's just, I think the're equally tough but if you can get there it's it's just I think the security to and that just feels so much more um stronger yeah yeah I mean dude it's epic man and then with
Starting point is 00:30:15 podcasting like I think uh podcasting is just this weird phenomena where people, they want to feel like they're just in the room with you, like when you're having, you know, like that's the appeal of podcasting. It's unedited. It's just like a normal conversation. It's got this intimacy where people are, they feel like they're participating in a personal conversation. And as such, they really get to know us through podcasting.
Starting point is 00:30:55 They get to really become so familiar with actually who you are. Because you can't pretend to be something different than what you are for hours and hours every week for years in a row. They're going to get to know the real you. And as such, they really are going to develop this real relationship.
Starting point is 00:31:24 It's like this real bond and they become like these super supporters yeah um that's a phenomena that uh is totally unique to podcasting and and is something that's really really special yeah and it creates this investment in your own personal development where like if we meet people who love the podcast they're like hey when are you gonna get married or like hey congratulations on kicking the vape. And there's these like components in my real life that they're rooting for. Yeah. But it's my real life.
Starting point is 00:31:52 And then I'm like, do you guys promote fume? No, but hit it, baby. I've heard about it. Yeah. I love it, man. I promote it on my podcast and I'm not even trying to quit anything. Yeah. What is it?
Starting point is 00:32:02 But, uh, it's, uh,? But it's called a diffusive device. It's got this little core, and you just literally breathe air through it. It flavors air. So you like quit. So there's no addictive component to it other than the oral fixation. Can I try yours?
Starting point is 00:32:20 Sure, man. I'm not tripping. Does it satisfy that craving? I mean mean i don't even have a craving oh you don't like it like uh that's fun yeah i quit um you know i quit everything i was trying to quit a long time ago like just 2 and 15 years so you haven haven't smoked nicotine or anything? Yeah. Wow. So that thing that people have, that desire for negative excitement. Negative excitement. Help me understand what you mean. I heard Alec Baldwin say that to Jerry Seinfeld one time. I think that's a way to describe an addict's need for turmoil.
Starting point is 00:33:03 I don't know if it's necessarily true across the board, but it feels like sometimes addicts, we want to just like violate social norms a little bit. That gives us like a spike or do something that's bad for us. That gives us a spike. Negative excitement. All right. But if you've like booted everything,
Starting point is 00:33:20 do you, how do you, where did that energy go? I mean, it's one thing after another man like now i'm just in trouble with food like i'm i'm in and out of trouble with food i get to a point where i'm like uh yeah i reach out to people who are in uh like 12-step food programs and i get on this this regimen of photographing and texting photos of every single thing i'm gonna eat
Starting point is 00:33:44 wow and then i'll get like kind of good and i'll be on a good track for a while and then of photographing and texting photos of every single thing I'm going to eat. Wow. And then I'll get kind of good, and I'll be on a good track for a while, and then I won't. It's gnarly, man. What's your advice when it comes to food? Generally just any kind of dessert. I'm a big ice cream guy. Yeah, I don't know if I care about ice creams,
Starting point is 00:34:03 but pecan pie, will i will destroy an entire pecan pie we're coming into a period where it's going to be everywhere i know i'm stoked and i'm bummed yeah you're gonna have your dukes up for thanksgiving it's it's insane man so did you always have like a when you were like a teenager what was your like a friendship group like um when i first like when i was 13 it was all about skateboarding 13 14 15 all about skateboarding and then um like right as i turned 16 years old like uh that it became all about smoking weed and drinking beer. And maybe like LSD. Is that how you measured like each other's kind of coolness was like that guy
Starting point is 00:34:56 can house the most beers? There's a little bit of that. You know, you didn't want to be a lightweight. That's for sure. You didn't want to be lightweight. But yeah, I just, you didn't want to be a lightweight that that's for sure you didn't want to be lightweight um but yeah i just uh it's crazy too because i was like a reasonably good kid i had reasonably good grades and uh i really cared about skateboarding and then once i decided to put the skateboard down and pick up the bong like it was immediate the like my my grades just torpedoed snows dive dude and uh yeah and then that like that became that became my thing dude how did you get into clowning
Starting point is 00:35:41 well i i went to the university of miami out of Miami out of high school. So you got D's grades to get into college and stuff. Yeah. It's a good thing that I applied to the University of Miami for early acceptance. Because it was not... They didn't look at your senior year or anything? It was not in the cards for me to... My shit really, really went out the window.
Starting point is 00:36:08 But, yeah, University of Miami, I just catastrophically failed. And, you know, my story was, I'm going to become a crazy famous stuntman. And that didn't go particularly well. I was, like, legitimately homeless for three years and then i found out about clown college and i was like man if i could graduate from clown college then i'll be a trained circus professional and that will help me become a crazy famous stuntman so it was just a means to an end is it crazy is it crazy to you that clowning's so big now in los angeles is it like dr brown and natalie palomides yeah i think it's kind of supplanted improv is
Starting point is 00:36:51 like the uh really alternative comedic form wow as i understood it um the this last um reboot of It, the It movie, plus a wave of genuine crime committed by people just dressed up as clowns. Like all of that, the cumulative effect of all of that has been... Clowns are at a low point. It's been very, very tough. And I still know a bunch of clowns are at a low point it's it's been very very tough and and you know i i still know a bunch of clowns like there's um people that i graduated from clown college with who uh are
Starting point is 00:37:33 mortally bummed at what happens to the i don't even know if you call it a clown industry but it's a profession that um has uh taken a real hit lately. So it seems weird to hear that it's thriving. Well, is the circus still a thing? There's Ringling Brothers. Is that still around? Ringling Brothers actually folded. I think that it was just the elephants, the animals in general,
Starting point is 00:38:04 like finally became too much. that it was just that you know the the elephants the animals in general like finally became too much they folded but I believe that it's coming back really now okay can you check that on the internet is Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Billy coming back did you ever go through those like circuits I mean it was Ringling Brothers and barnum and billy clown college that i went to but i didn't work on the ringling circus i ended up working um on a circus called the hannaford family circus which also folded as a result of having elephants and stuff and people giving that a hard time um people just don't like to see the animals kind of do tricks anymore?
Starting point is 00:38:47 I think that there has been an increased sensitivity to animals in the circus, and I think that's great. I really, really support that. Cirque du Soleil is so epic, and it has no animals in it. I want to see Cirque du Soleil. It epic and it has no animals in it I've never seen, I want to see Cirque du Soleil it allegedly came back this fall without animals it came back this fall without animals
Starting point is 00:39:13 now you can go see the Ringling show and that's great I love it did you incorporate any clowning techniques into Jackass? I learned stilt walking in clown college, I definitely did some stilt walking for jackass. There's like a couple random different like tricks I learned that got factored in. I think there were even a couple times i got into clown makeup um but not too much
Starting point is 00:39:49 i mean maybe something like i was always looking for opportunities to do acrobatics and stuff and said that i kind of fit that under clowning but not too much so can you juggle i can juggle not very well but and can you do so when you say acrobatics, is that like a back handspring kind of thing? Before I ever went to clown college, I pioneered the art of simultaneous fire breathing acrobatics. So I would do simultaneous fire breathing, back flips and front flips. That's pretty wild. Yeah, it was definitely pretty wild. And with the fire breathing, you're spitting kerosene out of your mouth with a lighter?
Starting point is 00:40:35 At the time, I was using rubbing alcohol, which is the worst thing to use for fire breathing. And I would douse my hand with rubbing alcohol and fill my mouth and light my hand and then blow it off my hand while i tucked on the backflip why is it the worst thing it just really erodes the inside of your mouth i think uh like it it's bad for like gum recession i feel like um it also like stays on fire like to anything that it's on yeah so i had some some pretty heavy burns um did women like it fire breathing in general sure man i mean uh i would certainly try to impress chicks with uh with all of my tricks from the very beginning yeah yeah that was that was a big part of uh of me trying to put together a skill set was the quest for beef uh did you ever have clowns that were like, hey, you're doing it for the chicks, you're not doing it for the clowns?
Starting point is 00:41:46 No, I don't think... I mean, it was always doing it for the footage. And then once I had the footage, then I would show the footage to the chicks. You know? And if not, like, say if it was on the fly, then, you know. There was that one stunt that you didn't want to do, and I think it was on the fly, then, you know. There was that one stunt that you didn't want to do, and I think it was Jackass 2,
Starting point is 00:42:07 where you had to shove the Tycho car up your butt? That was the first one. That was the first Tycho movie. And that was, I think, the only time on record that we have you saying no to a stunt. Correct. Yeah, I mean, I went on to, like, I made a video for my YouTube channel
Starting point is 00:42:23 called 10 Stunts I Backed Out Of, and that's featured on there. But, yeah, that was the first time that it was acknowledged that I backed out of something. And so why that stunt? I just remember my dad being particularly disappointed that that was on the table. And I attribute that to my dad being like, old school homophobe. He was like, dudes don't mess with buttholes.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Yeah, for sure. Like, he was not worried about my safety. When they did it, were you jealous? No. I recognized right away that that was my contribution to the bit. I felt pretty strongly that my not doing, I was just as much of a part of the bit for not doing it as I would have been. If I did do it,
Starting point is 00:43:29 I feel like it made it more memorable. It added more weight to the stunt. Cause I was like, Oh man, Steve-O couldn't do it. I mean, it could have, but yeah,
Starting point is 00:43:37 I backed out of it. So I just thought that, that it worked out very well for, uh, you know, for the, for the movie, for,
Starting point is 00:43:44 for me, for, for everybody. I thought it made it a better bit. Would you guys battle over who would get to do each stunt? Rather little of that and more of people trying to get out of doing stunts. Right, right, right. And would you guys peer pressure each other? Be like, come on, you got to pull your weight on this shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:08 I mean, typically like the, you know, the director, Jeff Tremaine would have something that he would want to have happen and he would like bring it to the other guys and the other guys, as they refuse to do it, the idea would kind of trickle down and end up with danger aaron it does it does seem like to like certain stunts are tailor-made for like this is a steve-o stunt this is a knoxville shirt there's absolutely that and um there's always been a profound respect for creative, like intellectual property. Yeah. Like what you can be sure of is that if you see somebody do a stunt or a bit
Starting point is 00:44:52 that either the person doing it came up with the idea or was given permission to carry it out by the person who did come up with it. Right. It's like by, by the virtue of the fact that you came up with the idea like you own that idea and nobody can do it unless you give them their your blessing yeah and that's uh like a level of respect and a code of honor that was absolutely adhered to until the fourth jackass movie and i was trying to hold out for a better contract and i had my own hot sauce i'm like i was like i'm sure we're gonna get this deal done
Starting point is 00:45:35 and when we do like i really want to feature my hot sauce steve-o's hot sauce for your butthole for your butthole in in the movie you know and while I was holding out they did this this like test shoot to try it and and and they got they did they're shooting with hot sauce and they're putting it in people's buttholes hmm which is precisely what I had done like I'd already shot that bit right and now they're like doing my bit and i i'm sure it was because they were pissed at me right because i was holding out but but when uh when i found out that they had that in the 4.5 movie i snapped i snapped so bad i was like dude you know like from day one man it's been if you come up with an idea it's yours you know and there's always been respect for that and now like so the the jackass 4.5 movie was picture
Starting point is 00:46:33 locked you know meaning like in for color correction and sound mix yeah and they unlocked it because i was so pissed wow and they were like dude you're right they're like you're right so they unlocked it and added in a thing oh then we did this thing that steve-o came up with really that in there yeah nice yeah yeah they i mean it's definitely a big deal and super rad that they that they did that yeah and it's it's honestly the only example i can even think of where intellectual property wasn't uh respected you know yeah so yeah like if you see somebody doing something they came up with the idea or gave the person permission to do it and there's a lot of that you know there's a lot of uh hey man like uh i got an idea for for-O or I got an idea for Wee Man.
Starting point is 00:47:26 Nobody's particularly stingy with creative. Ideas get written for people, for sure. What kind of preemptive safety protocols did you guys have for the stunts that involve engineering or explosives? I mean, in the beginning i would say like there was basically none you know i like it in the beginning i don't even think anybody really knew what a release form was you know um as you know the like the first movie like the second movie um gradually the productions got bigger and more elaborate more expensive and
Starting point is 00:48:08 then like you got stunt coordinators and this and that the stunt coordinators have uh really there's only one stunt coordinator um and then there's one like uh special effects and pyro guy, unless you count the prosthetics guy. But typically for the stunt coordinator, it's like, okay, you're here to do a job, but you have to do it wrong. You know? Yeah. Like I was over talking to the stunt coordinator, and he had a buddy, and his buddy worked in a water plant or something.
Starting point is 00:48:56 And he was like, imagine your job. It's like, hey, we want you to make sure the water's contaminated, but not enough to kill people. It's pretty wild. That is cool. we want you to make sure the water's contaminated, but not enough to kill people. Yeah. It's pretty wild. That is cool. And so you're a big UFC fan? I think I've seen you getting choked out by a John Jones before. Not choked out by John Jones.
Starting point is 00:49:15 I got choked out by Chuck Liddell and Michael Bisping and Tim Kennedy. Oh. Tim Kennedy. Who did the most vicious choke? Oh, by far, Tim Kennedy.edy yeah i asked him to drop me yeah right he literally dropped me and my head bounced off the stage at the that's part of my very first comedy special what's that what's that feeling like you wake up you have no idea where you are what's going on. You're completely confused.
Starting point is 00:49:47 And then it all comes back to you. Is it like the elevator door kind of shutting? Or is it kind of like he does it and it's just blank and you wake up? When you're getting choked, you're like, I can't breathe. It's so creepy. It's like everything that sucks about dying. And then you don't know what happened. And then all of a sudden, you come to, and you don't know where you are. And then you're like, oh, my God, I remember now.
Starting point is 00:50:10 That was awesome. Interesting. Did you have to convince them, or were they all down to do it out the gate? Everybody was down to do it. Yeah, it must be fun to choke someone out. I've never done it. I wouldn't want to choke anybody out. Do you practice?
Starting point is 00:50:24 Do you do jujitsu? No. Not even. Yeah, not even. I've never done it I wouldn't want to Choke anybody out Do you practice? Do you do Jiu Jitsu? No Not even Yeah Not even But yeah I love the UFC man Yeah it's awesome
Starting point is 00:50:32 Did you watch the fights Last week? I always watch the fights That was great I was so I talked about it On our last podcast But Jerry Prochaska
Starting point is 00:50:38 After he lost Saying it wasn't The ref's fault And that he was unconscious I've never seen a fighter Do that Right right right And you're talking about The week before last Because last week was Brandon Allen versus Paul Craig or something. Uh-huh
Starting point is 00:50:52 Yeah, I think that the consensus on the Yuri Prohaska fight was that it was early stoppage That's what I thought watching that. I was in the arena and like, you know I felt like the whole arena was booing the ref. And then in the post-fight interview, it was one of these situations where Rogan thought, okay, I'll go and interview the guy who lost. And Joe Rogan said to Yuri, we all in the commentator booth thought that was an early stoppage. And Yuri's like, like no at the end i
Starting point is 00:51:25 was out it was right like no no like i was crazy who do you think is going to win the leon colby fight uh what what's the line on it is uh i think i feel like leon's probably favored by a little bit i'm not sure man but then again look at that i think that that's probably pretty neck and neck, dude. And what a card, dude. The first fight on the pay-per-view is Ian Gary against Vincent St. Luque. Yeah, Leon's barely favored. It's close. It's almost even money.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Yeah, for sure. Dude, that card. Ian Gary, Vincent St. Luque. And then the second fight, that's Patty the Batty and Tony Ferguson. Right. Then Stephen Wonderboy Thompson and that murder. Shavcott. And then you got the flyweights, which is just going to be insane.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Pantoja and Roy Vaughn. And then you've got Colby Covington, Leon Edwards. Insane. Do you feel like very... Invested in disliking Colby Covington for sure. I'm like, I love disliking Colby Covington so much. Makes the fights better. I always want him to win
Starting point is 00:52:42 so that he'll continue to be around to dislike. Right. And he'll continue to be around to dislike. Right. And he's got to respect that because it's 100% what he's going for. Yeah, right. They were going to cut him. And then he was like, if I create this persona that's like a troll, I'll sell tickets. They'll keep me around.
Starting point is 00:52:58 You know what? I want to see if we get Colby Covington on my podcast to talk about it because it's so outspoken about how much I love to dislike him. And yeah, dude, it's great. It's great. I mean, that card is so unbelievable. And even the undercard is insane. Do you feel connected to the fighters
Starting point is 00:53:19 because you guys both use your bodies to make a living? I don't know that i feel connected to the fighters but there's a little bit of uh uh like an understanding i think that there's i mean certainly like i'm in a position where you know turning 50 and my body is like pretty bummed on me i've always said that uh that um i've always said that given what i've done for a living and and what i've been through that i'm in like shockingly good shape you know like my body's been holding up very well but um that is no longer my story i'm very rickety at this do you remember when it turned when like you started looking at stunts and being like oh fuck that's gonna like hurt my elbow or my back might not be good with that um i've been pretty selective about how i've thrown my body around like all my very
Starting point is 00:54:17 worst injuries have um all like it was only in like 2016 that i started like really like having to get surgeries like um yeah like then me and tony hawk we got away with like uh not being like very very badly beaten up until like our later years and then we got hurt a lot and real bad do you have like a are you big on health stuff do you have like a health regimen um i got a major meditation regimen yeah i uh what's that like 40 minutes a day dude twice a day twice a day yeah wow 20 minutes twice oh right right is it tm yeah i mean it's it's technically vedic meditation but it's exactly the same thing as right right um yeah and then like i said with my food i'm you know either really good or really bad are you vegan no i'm
Starting point is 00:55:19 back on seafood oh gotcha gotcha yeah if you're vegan can you eat like dairy or you can't eat dairy nothing from an animal is vegan vegetarian you can have anything as long as it's not meat yeah as long as it doesn't die
Starting point is 00:55:33 yeah and then do you like exercise and stuff right now I gotta go in for knee surgery so I have a torn meniscus there's not a lot of
Starting point is 00:55:44 exercising I can do um which kind of sucks because i want to be exercising do you do the cold plunge you know what i think i'm finally there yeah i feel like you would be one i think dana white has finally convinced me yeah with the the cold plunge i think he's convincing a lot of people with it. I think you'd love it. Have you tried it before? Yes, I did it with Steve Aoki. I hated it. Oh, you did?
Starting point is 00:56:16 But that's also because he made me stay in for five full minutes. Right, right, right. All the way in. And it was really, really cold. I think if I could not make myself do more than 60 seconds, I think that would go a long way. And with the knee. My executive assistant, Isaac, tours ACL, and he's been doing physical therapy to get back.
Starting point is 00:56:44 It wasn't going great, it wasn't going great. He started doing the cold plunge, and um they were like it wasn't going great wasn't very great he started doing the cold plunge and then they're like dude you're way ahead of schedule now interesting yeah so i think that given that i'm going through similar stuff with my knee and just the health benefits in general i think it's time for me to bite the bullet and get in the cold plunge I mine's broken now so I've been without one for like a year but I had one for a good solid year and a half and I loved it like you do before a flight you're on that flight and you're like this is the best flight of my life wow it just does work wonders it does yeah well you just skin's hot yeah for me it's like the uh the uh antidepressant kind of qualities
Starting point is 00:57:32 or what i like the most where you just like it just shocks you into a good mood but i uh i'm very open to that being uh yeah i think i'm gonna have to do it yeah i'm just gonna have to what about drinking your own pee um that's not anything i've ever done for health reasons oh yeah you were kind of ahead of the curve on that uh i don't even know that i've drank much of my own pee i certainly have but it was always just for uh you know for entertainment value yeah you had no idea you were I was aware that drinking urine is known to be a way to replace lost nutrients well I was aware of that I was also aware of the fact that urine has a large amount of ammonia in it which means it's sterile so like you can like
Starting point is 00:58:29 drink another man's pee and it's not like a health concern because the ammonia will uh prevent you from getting sick i think that i understand that to be the case i i don't quote me on it and when you say man it's just because it's easier for the dude to aim. When I say manage man, Oh, another man. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Yeah. I mean, whatever, like unless you're going to drink a woman's pee, but I'm the, the, I think that there's potential for other contaminants that don't come from dudes.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Oh, interesting. Maybe. I don't know. dudes oh interesting right maybe i don't know no more seems to happen there yeah our our buddy troy drinks his own pee and he he's like glowing wow great skin like on a regular basis yeah he drinks the middle stream every day from what i hear he is a model so it's hard to know sometimes if it's just genetically where he'd be at anyways. But it's hard to argue with, you know, how he looks. Results, yeah. He's very hot. If he was like an ugly man, it might not be as compelling.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Right. But the way he looks now makes it enticing. Wow. That's cool, man. Do you wrestle with that at all just like general like appearance stuff um i did for for some time i mean i'm 49 years old now you look And about 35, maybe 36, I remember going to a mentor and saying, man, like, I'm really bummed. Like, it's really bringing me down. Like, you know, my appearance deteriorating.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Like, I feel like, you know, I'm getting old and I can see it. And this guy said, hey man, I hate to break it to you, but you didn't get to where you're at because you were a sex symbol. Nobody cares what you look like, dude. And that helped a lot, man. That helped a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that helped a lot, man. You know, that helped a lot. So what do you see for yourself career-wise? What's your dream vision for the next 10 years?
Starting point is 01:00:53 Or do you, yeah. I don't know about 10 years. I can't look that far. But I know that for certain I'm putting together a new show to tour with. And that's like a terrifying proposition because like what I did with my Bucket List tour, like very heavy, a lot of life-threatening, like super high-level, high-impact stuff. And then I make it into a multimedia show.
Starting point is 01:01:23 and then I make it into a multimedia show. Now I'm confronted with the task, I've taken on the task of raising the bar yet again. And I feel like I can do that one more time. So I'll spend the next six months or so putting together my Steve-O's Gone Too Far show. months or so putting together my steve-o's gone too far show and then i'll begin to tour that show probably tour that show for about two years so then that's like two and a half years uh maybe maybe three years from now like um the gone too far special comes out at that point i'll be 52 and i don't think i can even seek to raise the bar again i don't think that that
Starting point is 01:02:19 is going to make any sense and at that point, maybe there's a project in, you know, in like a big picture of what the whole, you know, the whole career was. I don't know. In this, in the bucket list,
Starting point is 01:02:42 you jack off while skydiving. Yeah. To completion. Yeah. What did you like? I haven't seen all the way through. What did you think about while you were jacking it? I brought a portable DVD player.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Oh. So you had some good porn going? Yep. And you were able to do it? It wasn't easy, but I ate four dick pills for breakfast. I was backed up for four days. Viagra or Cialis? Cialis.
Starting point is 01:03:07 Oh, so the long-lasting one. I guess. I mean, that's what I had. So I ate four of those. Cialis, they call it the weekend drug because it can last for... Oh, wow. It's in your system for like 72 hours. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:19 Depending on how you metabolize. Yeah. I mean, I shot that before I began my relationship with Blue Chew. Were you at all worried about where the cum would go? No. No. But, like, the plane's going so fast. And the idea was to ejaculate as I was exiting the plane.
Starting point is 01:03:44 Oh, so you were... It wasn't like while I'm falling. The idea was that when I pass the point of no return I give the sign and then I leave there so I'm simultaneously exiting the plane while ejaculating. How many people were up in the plane
Starting point is 01:04:00 watching you crank? At least six dudes. One of them was strapped to my back and it was a small ass plane that guy's cool yeah i mean it's a it's a a major major accomplishment man it was there was a heavy thing and uh you know it it makes my special legitimately triple X rated. How did you come up with that? I came up with that like 20 years ago as a way to avoid ever having to go skydiving. I just didn't want to do it. Like, I'm scared of roller coasters.
Starting point is 01:04:36 I'm scared of bungee jumping. And I don't want to do it. And then you went biking after you got an epidural? No, I had general anesthesia drugs administered into my arm and in a vein while i was riding a bicycle and um i had an epidural which is a four inch needle into your spine they injected a drug into my spinal cavity to paralyze me while i was in a full sprint so those were two separate oh okay the general anesthesia bike ride and the epidural foot race what did that fit i've been put under before so did the whole thing just start to go
Starting point is 01:05:12 black as you were um well that one like general anesthesia drugs make you stop breathing that's why i like they they intubate you that which means they put a tube down your throat to breathe for you like when you're in surgery and um you know i had like this medical professional who stole general anesthesia drugs from the hospital was administering them to me and um you know we we rented an ambulance the ambulance we hired a private ambulance so they'd be ready to intubate me but we didn't tell them what we were doing. We didn't even let them on the set. It was just like, be ready to run if we need you. But the consensus on the set was that we really didn't want me to stop breathing.
Starting point is 01:06:01 So they gave me the drug incrementally to try to get me to knock out but not to stop breathing and what happened was you know we had it like Google said eight milligrams of this drug is enough to knock a full grown man out for surgery we had 20 milligrams Wow they gave to me incrementally and they just kept giving it to me and they gave me all 20 milligrams and and I was never knocked out because they spaced it out mmm you know like if they give you eight all at once like you're out if they give you two and then two and then two and then two until it's gone like so i was just wildly on drugs
Starting point is 01:06:46 like and uh and that's what that bit turned into it was like pretty like pretty intense and notable because i'm a sober guy that's what's that yeah yeah like i'm a sober guy here i'm all wasted like acting a fool like riding a bicycle around, just screaming my head off, yelling at everybody. I think the program gives a pass for art. Yeah, I mean, I did it in consultation with people in recovery. Like, I didn't have any secrets. I was clear on why I was doing it. I'd had plenty of surgeries in recovery without relapsing.
Starting point is 01:07:23 Like, I'm not tripping about that but that's what that bit was you know that that's what that bit was all about and it's wild you know there's nothing that's not wild about that bit but then the next bit is uh like you know you go from the failure where they didn't knock me out and that's just this wild scene to like a resounding success with the epidural and like through the show like the bucket list of course like i filmed all these like 10 different things on the list and put it all together into a live show and after each bit i pay off the bit with the forbidden footage of the forbidden stunt and it's all presented in descending order of the approval and support of my fiancee
Starting point is 01:08:13 so like in the beginning the beginning of the show she's all about it gung-ho like front and center filming it like you know participating then gradually like she's not that into it like she's there for the bike ride but she's not loving it she's stressed then like the epidural she's now she's not you know she's like god like i she couldn't bring herself to be there for that then she's like not only is she not showing up but she she's having a real problem with it. And by the end of the hour, we're navigating some serious conflicts. That's a good emotional arc for the special. It's great, man. And the fact of it all being kind of in the context of my relationship
Starting point is 01:09:05 enduring the bucket list stunts, it's the, in totality, it's this wonderful love story, you know, as much as it's like this triple X rated, like super reckless, life-threatening stunt fest, you know, all, you know, in an hour of uh of outrageous comedy it's also like a genuine legit love story that's great do you want to do beefs babes and legends yeah
Starting point is 01:09:34 chat so this part you might not be prepped for it but we'll go to you last so you can uh all right easy improvise something we do a beef of the week just something we're upset at and then we do a babe and a legend of the week just something we're upset at. And then we do a Babe and a Legend of the Week. It's just something we're stoked on. It can be a person, place, or thing. Okay, cool. Chad, who's your Beef of the Week? My Beef of the Week, you know, I was having trouble thinking because I didn't have much to beef about.
Starting point is 01:09:56 My Beef of the Week is, you know, it's just time change. I've done this before, but daylight savings. I'm not on board with it. I'm not a fan of it. Yeah, I thought that they Senate approved doing away with it. Yeah, what was that, like three years ago? Yeah, they did that, and then they didn't do away with it. Yeah, and they don't do it in Arizona for some reason.
Starting point is 01:10:21 Is that right? There's no need to do it already. You're going to have uh it gets darker earlier yeah and it doesn't need any help it happens naturally yeah and now it's now it's like uh when it gets dark that early it's it's an inconvenience because there's things I have to do in the light that now I can't do because it's five o'clock and it's dark. Yeah, I thought it was over. Apparently not. I think it's a big conspiracy.
Starting point is 01:10:52 About what, I don't know. All right. I'm highlighting a beef, it's a podcast beef. It's I Am Athlete. It was Brandon Marshall, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor. They were all doing a podcast. Dude, if you watch the clips, they're pretty amazing. They just yell at each other. They're all these super strong dudes. Dude, if you watch the clips, they're pretty amazing. They just yell at each other.
Starting point is 01:11:06 They're all these super strong dudes. But the arguments are pretty compelling. And it's normally Brandon Marshall who starts them. But they also eat full gourmet meals during the podcast. So it'll just cut to whoever their guest is. It'll be like Andre Johnson will just be eating salmon while these dudes yell at each other about Kaepernick and contracts. And I was digging it, but it turns out
Starting point is 01:11:22 they broke up because they had money issues. But now I've been fascinated by that. So'm just like watching all the podcasts about like the disillusionment of the whole thing but it's very entertaining i would check it out all right my beef is with uh the do not disturb sign that you hang on the handle of your hotel room door like i feel like the hotel room is my one like little like sanctuary like my safe space and i don't want people coming in and messing with it so i hang the do not disturb sign on the door but then invariably when i open up the door it falls off they just can't design a do not disturb i feel like they want it to fall off yeah And I'm always running late, so I'm like,
Starting point is 01:12:06 open up the door and I come out, and then the sign falls off the handle. And I'm like, ugh, and I put it back. It's just really annoying, man. So I'm reminding myself to design a do not disturb sign for the hotel room which just lives in my backpack and will literally stay on
Starting point is 01:12:30 any door. That's a good idea. Chad, who's your favorite legend of the week? So my legend is or should I go babe first? I think we're just going to call them. It's my dog Lola. She turns one today. She's a little golden retriever Mini golden retriever
Starting point is 01:12:47 Perma puppy I love that dog So yeah just happy birthday Lola Yeah she's the best Dude my legend of the week is the German people We've been having some NFL games there this season And I think I was watching Dolphins Chiefs early in the morning our time

I have no idea why that song's a phenomenon over there, but I loved it.
Starting point is 01:14:13 I knew that they were playing games in London, England. I didn't know they were doing it in Germany. I think they had a couple over there in Frankfurt, I'm going to guess. But yeah, the crowd was just going nuts on the John Denver. It was like, oh, they love American shit. And something specific like crowd was just going nuts on the John Denver.
