You're listening to Comedy Central. So in Central Park today, there was a giant gold cube, like made of solid gold that was worth $11 million. They took $11 million worth of gold and made a cube with it. Then they just put it in the middle of Central Park. Apparently it's to promote something crypto. I don't even understand crypto now at this point. I don't, every time there's some shit that doesn't make sense in the world, people just say it's crypto.

You know what I mean? Crypto has become like the new like UFO. What happened? Last night I heard some shit. There's something happening outside my house. Probably that crypto, Bob. I don't know what this, City, the only city in America. It's The Daily Show, Ears Edition. Tonight, the masked Rudy.

The NFL is racist. And Johnny Knoxville. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Hey, what's going on everybody. Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah. Let's jump straight into today's headlines. We kick things off with the big entertainment news of the day. One of the hottest game shows on television right now is the masked singer,

which is like American Idol, if all the contestants were minor celebrities, disguised as genetically mutated tele-tubbies. And the best best part part part part part part part part part the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tha thia thia thia thia thia thana thana tele-tubbies. And the best part of the show is always when the singer's identities are revealed. They take off the mask. Because you never know who it's going to be. Wow! The skunk was Faith Evans?

The hamster was Rob Schneider, and Rob Schneider was Kevin Hart. But every now and then, every now and then, the reveal is truly, truly shocking. And at yesterday's taping, it brought the whole show crashing down. Two judges on the Fox show, The Masked Singer, reportedly walked off in protest during the taping of a recent episode after it was revealed that Rudy Giuliani was a contestant. According to deadline, judges Ken Jong and Robin Thick walked off the set as soon as Giuliani was unmasked. What the fuck?

Once again, Rudy Giuliani ruins the day by showing people his face. America is truly, truly, truly the greatest country on earth. Because this is the only place in the world where entertainment trumps everything. Because I mean a year ago, just a year ago, this guy try to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thuani thu the the the the thuani thuani thuani thuani the world where entertainment trumps everything. Because I mean a year ago, just a year ago, this guy tried to overthrow America's democracy and now he's a contestant on a reality show. Is there anyone they won't have on? Like one of these days a mosque singer is going to take off their head and it's going to be literally the coronavirus.

I knew it! I said it had to be COVID and it was. It was. And don't get me wrong, I get why Giuliani did it. I mean reality shows are the best way to rehab your image, you know, because you can count on the fact that you'll always be surrounded by even worse people. I mean if Kim Jong-un filmed a dinner scene with the real housewives, he wouldn't seem that bad. I mean, sure, he fed one of them to some dogs. But did you see what Jen Shah said? But the question is, why did the producers want Rudy Giuliani on the show? I mean, he's beyond controversial.

And even more than that, even more than that, for the show itself, like his performances, like, they really suck. The company counting our vote is owned by two Venezuelans who were allies of Chavez with a company whose chairman is a close associate and business partner of George Soros. What do we have to do? Let's have trial by combat. No one's fucking to that. All right, let's move on to a new story about Tesla, the first car designed by a 24-pack

of Red Bull. Tesla's are famous right now for their fully automatic self-driving mode, but it turns out that their self-stop mode, well, that needs a little work. Fifty-four thousand Tesla cars are being recalled because of an autonomous driving feature that disobeyed stop signs. Tesla introduced the rolling stop feature in a software update in October of 2020. The program would allow cars in self-driving mode when no one is around to drive past the stop sign without coming to a complete stop. Tesla says it will fix the issues through a

wireless software update. Tesla claims no cars in its self-driving program have been involved in any accident. Oh no don't fix this. Don't fix it. You're breaking it. Come on, people are self-driving car that follows all the rules. That's gonna be dangerous. Because that's the last thing that human drivers expect. Who stops at a stop sign?

You almost killed me and my family. Like, we need a program car to drive just like humans. That what we need to speed to speed like humans, that's what we need, okay? They need to speed up at a yellow light, or they need to drive faster when a pedestrian is crossing the street. Yeah, I mean, you say it's dangerous, but we both love that game. So look, I don't mind that Tesla's were rolling through stop signs, because I actually like the idea of artificial intelligence not being so uptight and perfect, you know?

I don't know. Like I want lazy AI. Yeah, I just want chilled AI. Because then there's less chance of a robot uprising. You know, because the robots will be like, must destroy human beings, but first must scroll through tick-tuck. You want a bummer, you want to chill with the big boys. But it turns out there are are are are are are are are are are some their are some their are some their are some their are some their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the. te. te. te.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.a.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.a.a.a.e.a.a. So.a. So. to chill with the big boys? But it turns out there are some people that self-driving cars probably should not drive like. And many of these people are in Florida.

For instance, take a look at the story. It reportedly started when the driver that you're about to see cut off another driver in traffic, right? And then he got mad and slammed his brakes when the first car started riding his bumper. And then when the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the when the first car started riding his bumper. And then when the other car pulled out and try to pass him, this happened. In Florida, take a look at this new dash cam video showing the moment. Oh my God. Oh, fuck.

And Popper's attorney says his client was just defending himself. He's now facing two charges, including aggravated assault with a firearm. Like, what's the deal with this guy? First of all, first of all, guys, the whole point of road rage is to not hurt each other, right? We just act crazy because we're safe in our cars. It's like Twitter, but on the freeway. And secondly, the way he pulled out the gun, I don't know about you, but I thought he was going to be like a stone-cold assassin, you saw like the way he pulled it out and he just, you know? But then when he actually started shooting, he looked like a five-year-old And guys, I think we can all agree.

Someone like this should not be allowed to have a gun. You can't just be spraying bullets randomly on the freeway. First of all, you could kill someone, all right? But secondly, this is Florida. Everyone else has a gun. You start shooting. Next thing, someone in another car goes like, oh, they're shooting. Then there's people in the houses, they're like the shooting. their their their s shooting. their s shooting. their s shooting. their s shooting. their s shooting. their s shooting. their s shooting. their shooting. their shooting. their shooting. their shooting. their shooting. their shooting. their s shooting. their s. their s. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the goes like, oh, they're shooting, then they start shooting.

Then there's people in the houses, they're like, they're shooting on the freeway. They start shooting, and then grandmothers in the old age homes, they're like, somebody's shooting. And then finally, the alligators come out of the swamp. they're like, thoom, thoom, tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, the, tho, tho, tho, their, their, their, their, thrown, thrown, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th straight from talking shit to shooting. You know why I think this happens?

It's because the Second Amendment comes right after the first. First Amendment, right to talk shit. Second Amendment, right to talk shit. They should have made a First Amendment talk shit. Second Amendment, you know, the right to talk about what shit. Third amendment, right to grab a drink with each other and be like yeah man maybe we shouldn't have said that shit. Fourth fifth, sixth amendment, maybe 15th amendment, I'd the right to bear arms. Want to shoot each other? Nah, I'm cool now man. I'm cool. I'm cool. At some time to breathe. Seventh amendment, the right to breathe. But you see this is why we need Tesla's autopilot mode. Yeah because then you can't you you you you you you you you you you you th th th th th th th All right, let's move on to our top story.

It's about the NFL. When you think of the NFL, you're supposed to think of athletes doing exciting things like making amazing catches or throwing incredible passes and running up the middle into a big pile of people for some crazy reason. What are you doing? Go around them, you idiot! That's what I would have done! But in recent years, the actual football part of the NFL has been overshadowed by off-the-field

scandals. From the Redskins controversy to the blackballing of Colin Kappan, to the league, that dark spots on their MRIs was just their brains getting a suntan. And this week brought a whole new scandal for the NFL when former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores filed a lawsuit accusing the league of racial discrimination against black coaches. Flores claims that teams are interviewing black coaches with no intention of actually hiring them. He says he had an interview with the Broncos where the executives showed up an hour late and clearly hung over and he had an interview with the Giants that he knew was bullshit because the team had already decided to hire a different White Coach. And the way he found out that they had already hired somebody is pretty wild.

For us as he found out from Patriots Coach Bill Belichick that the Giants had hired a head coach three days before he was scheduled to have an interview with the team. The complaint states on January 24th Belichek wrote sounds like you have landed. Congrats. Flores responded saying, did you hear something I didn't hear? Belichek texted back giants? Flores later texts Belacheck to the right coach before Belichek fesses up that he has the wrong man. Sorry I expletive this up. I double checked and I misread the text. I think they're naming Dable. I'm sorry about that. B.B. This is so embarrassing. Why do old people sign their texts? Like do they do that for everything? I'm so horny right now, yours truly, Henry. I want you to go to town on my ass, affectionately yours, Linda. Squirt emoji, squirt emoji, best wishes, Henry. No, but for real look,

this was a screw-up by Benachick, and he's a coach so he can't even blame CTE. Because this is how Flores found out that he already lost the job that he was about to interview for, about to. And you may be wondering, why would an NFL team grant an interview to a black coach if they have no intention of hiring them? Well, for a long time, black coaches in the NFL were just not a thing. In fact, between 1926 and the 191. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. toe, toe, toe. And, to, to, toe. And, toe. And, toe. And, toe. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, to, th. And, to. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And a thing. In fact, between 1926 and 1989, there were zero black coaches. Nada. Yeah, during that 60-year period, it was easier to find a black person in space than coaching in the NFL.

And finally, in 2002, Johnny Cochran, yes, the OJ guy, I guess he was really into football, he threatened to sue the league if it didn't get its act together. And so the NFL created something called the Rooney Rule, which said that at any time that there's an opening for a new coach, at least one minority candidate has to be interviewed for the job, which is cool. But now Brian Flores is saying that these interviews he's getting, they aren't real. These teams are just going through the motions to satisfy the Rooney Rule. Think of it this way. It's almost like when your mom emails you that her friend from church, her son is moving to your city

and she wants you to be friends with him. And then yeah, you go get a beer with him just to make your mom happy, but you know for a fact, you're never gonna hire him as your friend. And honestly, if you're gonna make someone come to a bullshit interview, the least you can do is let them know ahead of time. Let them know this is a bullshit interview, because that way they can have some fun with it. You know, think how dope it would be to get to an interview knowing you're not going

to get the job. Then you can give bullshit interviews. So what would you say is. Now look, we don't know for certain why Brian Flores didn't get these jobs, but it's clear that the Rooney Rule despite its good intentions has done nothing to solve the NFL's black coaching problem. The facts are clear that black coaches are not awarded the same opportunities as their white counterparts. Black coaches take longer to get hired, they get fired faster. A study found that coaches of color averaged shorter tenures than white coaches and were less likely to land another head coaching job after being fired.

There was an academic study that came out across three decades over 1,000 coaches, finding that black coaches were 114 percent less likely to be promoted to coordinated positions. Despite the success of coaches such as Tomlin and Tony Dungy, who both won Super Bowls, when it comes to head coaches, the league is nearly as white now as it was in 1989. In 2003, when the Rooney Rule was incitated, there were three African-American coaches in the National Football League. We are 19 years removed from the institution and implementation of the Rooney Rule, and there is now one head coach. Yeah, that's right. Out of 32 teams in the NFL, there's still only one black head coach, which is fewer than the number of black coaches when the Rooney Rule started.

So the Rooney Rule is basically as useless as the five-second rule. Yeah, bitch, you drop your food on the floor. If you put it on your mouth, that's just nasty, okay? It's not like bacteria is slow to figure it out. Is that food? Wait, that's food. And it turns out not only our black coach is still not getting enough opportunities, but when they do get the job, they have a much shorter leash than white coaches. Yeah. Even if they win, they're still a good chance thrc, thic, thiiiiiiiii. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-a, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's, that's, that's that's, that's that's, that's, that's, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thr-a. thr-s, thr-a. thr-a. thr-a. thateee. that, thr-a. that's that's that's that's that's that's th get fired. Now, is the NFL doing this on purpose to black coaches? Nobody knows. I mean, maybe. Or maybe it's an unconscious bias. And that's what makes racism so hard to prove these days. Because back in the day, when someone's being racist to you, you knew. Because there'd be up front. They'd just be like, oh, you want the head coaching job. Ha ha. that, you thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Maybe. th. Maybe. Maybe. th. Maybe, maybe, maybe, thi. Maybe, thi. Maybe, thi. Maybe, thi. Maybe, thi. Maybe, thi. Maybe, thr. Maybe, thr. Maybe, thi. And, thi. Maybe, thi. And, thi. Maybe, thi. Maybe, thi. Maybe, thi. Maybe, thi. Maybe, thi. Maybe,'t even know Negroes are smart enough to make jokes. Did you know that, Steve? Ha ha ha!

But that's why proving racism for black people in 2022 can be so frustrating, right? Sometimes it feels like, you know, you're the only person in a horror movie who actually knows what's going on. You gotta believe me, man, there's a serial killer in this camp. Don't be ridiculous. All these sexy theseens are probably stabbing themselves to death. Come on. But no matter why it's happening, it's clear that black coaches aren't getting the same opportunities in the NFL as their white counterparts, which is a pretty demoralizing situation

for black coaches to be in. NFL owners have stuck to an old game plan when it comes to hiring head coaches. And that, in turn, has sent morale among black coaches plummeting to a new low. It's now so bad. Football agent Brian Levy convened a Zoom meeting for many of the black coaches he represents to talk about the Rooney Rule, part workshop, part therapy session. You see guys that are not as qualified, that jump ahead of you, guys that you have trained and that were under you for years that jump. And now, so what is the criteria? You know, the resume doesn't matter anymore?

He's not getting interviewed because he's the qo-fied coach. He's getting interviewed because they have to hit that quota. You see the black name, they're like, he's the Rooney. That's why he's interviewed. He's the Rooney. Man, you see this shit? The situation is so bad for black coaches that they are voluntarily having Zoom meetings. Do you know how truly unfair something has to be for football coaches to talk about their feelings? Think about it, even when they win the Super Bowl,

they'll be up on theoday, then give the boys 20 minutes off tomorrow and then it's back to the wakeroom. This is the most exciting day of my life. Well, for more on this issue, let's go now to our senior tailgating correspondent, Roywood, Jr. Roy, I believe you're out at Miami Dolphin Stadium right now, and this story is truly a bombshell story. It is shocking, Trevor. I can't believe 't believe that racism still exists in the NFL. I mean, they had in racism on their helmet. You're telling me that didn't do anything? You know, Roy, I'm as shocked as you are. But let me ask you, what do you think of the Rooney rule?

Because this lawsuit seems to prove that it hasn't worked. The Rooney rule says, you don is that it underestimates racial bias. The Rooney Rule says you don't like black people, well hang out with one and see what happens, but nothing happened. So now it's even worse and you're still hiring the white coach and wasting the black man's time. Right, right. So then let me... Not to mention that this rule messes with the black man's self-esteem. He's going on all these interviews and doesn't get the job. He's obviously going to wonder, well, is it me? You get low self-esteem.

That shit starts affecting your whole life. You start having problems with intimacy. Your girl asks, what's wrong? But you're too mainly to admit that when you. You've been through this shit, you start growing apart, she leaves you, next thing you know, she's dating the white coach because he got a good job. Meanwhile, you're at home by yourself watching porn. You're not even jerking off while you're watching the porn. You're just watching it and eating cheese. I, uh, I think that went a bit off track, but I get what you're saying Roy, you think the ru the ru ru ru ru ru. that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that to to that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi the is the the the the the the the. the. the. thi thi thi thi thi th what you're saying Roy you think the Rooney Rule should be abolished. No I didn't say that we just got to replace the Rooney Rule with the Roywood Junior rule. The Roywood Junior rule I'm sorry what is that?

Oh dog it's simple. If a team is gonna hire a white guy but they have to interview a black guy then they should just have to fly me out. But then doesn't that waste your time? Nah man I ain't got nothing going on except for this stupid ass job and I get to have a fun weekend. Get to fly first class, get to chill in the hotel with a mini bar, hanging out in fun cities, drunk in New Orleans, back tattoos in Miami. I'm gonna have a good-ass time, duh? Well Roy, I'm looking here and it says that one of the first and it says that one of the first available jobs is going to be in Minnesota. So, uh, you want to fly there? You want to send a black man to Minnesota? In February, what part of in racism do you not understand, Trevor? My skin wasn't made for them type of temperatures. Let them white coaches have Minnesota.

They can have that. Okay, I thought you wanted the job. All right, I guess we'll have to figure something else out. You know what, let's take a break and when we come back, we'll tell you the truth about where your poop actually goes. Stick around. So Roy, you're just going to give up on Minnesota? Trevor, there's a reason that you never saw any black vikens. You've seen a black viken? You've seen a black vii. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, th, you, you've th. th. th. thi, thi, th. th. th. th. You got me? Yeah.

Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is the creator and star of Jackass, Johnny Knoxville. He's here to talk about his death-defying stunts in the new film, Jackass Forever. Johnny Knoxville, welcome to the Daily Show. Thank you for having me. It is so good to see you like functioning as a human being. You know, I'm happy to be functioning after one of those films. I'm like, you're one of those people where if somebody bet money

and said like how long do you think this guy will live for, I would have probably lost all my money. You're 50 now, right? Yeah, 50. to see you get like old, like look at your Silver Fox and everything. Oh, thank you. You went natural during the pandemic? Oh, yes. And yet you're still trying to die. Well, still trying to entertain. Which you do successfully, by the way.

Thank you. Congratulations. I think the movie's really funny. I think the stunte. Thank you. My pain threshold I think is about the same as anyone else. It's like give a damn threshold. Okay. Yeah. I don't think it's the same.

I've been hit by a car once. Right. It never happened again. Like if you cross the street with me Johnny, like there is no car anywhere inside. Because that pain, I will never forget that shit. And then you come along, and I go like, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I than, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I don't thin, I don't thin, I don't thin, I don't think, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I th.

I don't thi hits you. So there's the scene where you're getting hit by the bull. Do you even remember that, by the way? I remember the bull hitting me and me flipping,

and after that, they had to send me footage in the hospital to remember what happened. Because you were snoring afterwards. That was, the doctor said it was, so this is what happens. You get hit by the bull, you flip, you crash down, you start snoring, then I'm like, huh, Johnny, that's funny, he's saying I'm knocked out so I'm snoring. Yeah, and now you tell me that part of it. And now you tell me that part of it. I didn't bring that up in the movie. Yeah, because, because, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to, to, to, to, to. to. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, to. to. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to have the doctor said? Are you like fully okay as a person? Like you can't do this for much longer, right?

That was my last bull to face because I've had 16 concussions and that one was really pretty narly. Had a brain hemorrhage and it took me several months to come back from. I took a lot of cognitive tests and boy my scores weren't great. Wow. Yeah. The doctor's like, do you have trouble paying attention? I'm like, yeah, I can't sit still lately. I can't edit. He's like, because you scored a 17 out of 100 on the,

on the, uh, from the attention span. Yeah. You've just t We are glad that Johnny Knoxville has gone up. Here's another question I had for you is like who is your health insurance provider? I actually have very good health insurance. Do they know what you do? Like because I like whenever I think of health insurance I think of them being like ah but you know pre-existing conditions? What do you do for a living type thing? Like, does, like, do you have like life insurance?

I actually got life insurance, which is amazing. And they know what you do. Yeah, they know what I do. I don't harp on it with them, but they know what I do. And like how you say, like you just gloss over it in the cold. Yeah, yeah. What do you do for a living? I work with gravity and Newton's third law of motion. Is there a stunt that terrifies you, is there like a thing where you go like, you know what, I want to do it, but I don't think I'll ever have the balls to do it?

I don't like cold weather or cold water. That's my line in the sand. Wow. Yeah, I don't like it. Although I have I have done things in cold weather and cold water. I don't like it. But that's actually your so it's not pain, it's cold. Yeah. And well Steve O's is like he'll let you put a hook in his mouth and cast him out in the sea. Yes. It's tummed up waters for sharks. But they tried to get him to uh bungee off a bridge once. He's like no way. thi's like. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th. S. S S S S S S S S S, th.

It's like something grandmas do. Everyone has their irrational thing about them, all the cast members. He wouldn't bungee dive. It's like, OK, Steve O.

OK, so then how do you pick the stunts? And how do you pick who's going to do the stunt? Because I mean, like, in this movie you've got vultures vions involved in people's faces, you know, you've got penises and bees. Yes, you know? There's a lot of penis. There's a lot of penis, which is good. It's like euphoria but with comedy, you know? How do we, how do we choose who gets to do which stunt? Do the people know ahead of time and do they say yes I'll do it their their their their they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they their their their their their their their their their their. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. Yes, th. Yes, th. Yes, th. Yes, th. Yes, th. Yes, the. the. thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean. Yes, the it like now I want you to do this? Everyone has their specialties like Dave England's the poop guy. Okay. Pontius is the naked guy. Although Steve O will do naked things. I, I, more of the blunt force trauma guy and no, they don't know a lot of times what's happening that the head time. Jeff and I know who we want to do it. And if they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they don't know a lot of times what's happening that time. Jeff and I know who we want to do it. Right.

And if they protest that they don't want to do it, then Jeff has a way of, you know, he'll like either bulldog them into it or take them on a walk and be their buddy and talk him into it that way. He has a number of ways But like of their own volition. Well, secretly they all want footage, right? If someone gets a really good bit, no matter how painful, they're like, God, now I need to get one. And so everyone tries to top each other,

and it really helps for the film. It really does help the film. Johnny Knoxville has evolved a lot over the age of 29, I think, on MTV back in the day. You've gone on to do everything, you know, the movies, the TV show, everybody loves what you do, you've developed a rabbit fan base, but what was an interesting evolution for me, maybe one of your craziest stunts for people was speaking out after George Floyd.

Oh my God, I mean, that was, I mean, infuriating for everyone, I believe. But I think it was impressive because a lot of people didn't expect you, I mean, you're Johnny Knoxville. They're like, the guy gets hit by things in the head. I don't think he's gonna say something any time. And then you came out and you said really beautiful things about the moment and what was happening in America. And then there were some fans of yours who were pissed thi. you saying anything? I was so disgusted by that act, by like a lot of people, and

I felt like I could not say something, you know, and yeah I lost people on my hands, like a hundred thousand people unfollowed, but I told them to. I was like, if you, if you don't like what I'm saying, please unfollow me because I don't, I don't want you in my life, I don't to clear those people out. And I did. Right. Please not follow me because I don't I don't want you in my life. I don't need you in my life I wanted to clear those people out and I did and it felt much better Right because that I mean that's just been going on way too long. I hear you and it's it's I don't know. It's no no no, no, I appreciate you. I appreciate you. I think a lot of people are gonna enjoy the movie because you guys don't take yourself seriously. It's just the It's it's it's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's, I. It's, I. It's, I. I. I. I. I to, I to, I to, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I th. I th. I th. I to th. I th. th. th. thi the to thi thi thi tell. thr thi thi thi of people are gonna enjoy the movie, because you guys don't take yourself seriously. It's just fun, you're hurting yourselves, which is a wonderful thing. You know, it's like consensual hurting of thyself.

Yes. And yeah, I hope we see you in another thrown. But not get it, I hope we find stunts cognitive tests. Well I hoped if we do another one and we may we may not I don't know but I'll try my best to sit behind the camera which F's remain but as he told me I'm lousy at doing that so you could switch to the naked stunts I'm not built for speed like Pontius you know I mean just to be honest. There's a reason I wasn't picked for the open. It looks like an egg in the nest, Trevor. Oh, man.

Sorry, everyone. Oh, boy. Johnny Knuxful, it's always fun having you on, man. Thank you, thank you for having you. Thank you for the movie. Thank you for joining me, and I hope to see you again. Thank you. All right, people, Jackass Forever is in theaters everywhere on February 4th.
