I've really lost count, But likeso, I used to do this thing
called like two dollars nut shots whenI was like younger and like didn't have
money, and I would like goto Chicago with like and you have people
(01:49):
pay me two dollars get kicked onthe nuts, and I would like sometimes
once a couple of the times Ihad like over like one hundred people do
it. God, dude, theydo not care. They were like they
didn't give a fuck. Dude.One guy like lifted me off the ground.
Yeah he was. He was huge, dude, and he like fucking
(02:13):
really kicks me. So dude.Yeah. So like I mean, but
then all the different nutshots that I'vedone on video and stuff, so we're
probably and I've done that a lot. And then sometimes people like fans and
stuff will come up to me andI want to kick me in the nuts.
But I haven't really been doing thatmuch lately because it's like I don't
(02:34):
want to get kicks from the nutsall the time. Yeah, sure,
I gotta start for that. Yeah, So I mean it's probably. I
just did an early nuts shot theother day that I'm gonna post. That
was fun, dude. I seenthe other day you had, um a
little person jump on your nuts.Yeah. Yeah. It was these guys
from this uh YouTube channel or somethingcalled Grandma's House TV. They're they're really
(02:59):
funny, they're on to hang outwith you. And then I actually kicked
one of them in the head whenI was trying to kick this like can
off. Yeah, did he getworked or what not? It wasn't too

felt bad about it. I waslike, no, I usually always make
this damn yeah. Hell yeah dude, Yeah I saw that clip. It
(03:21):

when they don't like go up andunder like it will, like if they
just hit direct nuts like as afool kike. It's so much worse.

Um. I had this one thingI was trying to do once where
(17:17):
there was this one artist like backin the day, like back in the
day, like where he filmed thisthing and he like gets shot by like
a real gun, but he doesn'thave a bullet pro vest on indust shoots
order like the fat on his arm. But he had like someone do it.
Oh. I was like, dude, I would like back when I
(17:37):
was like doing supernarly stuff. Iwas like trying to get that done,
but no one would shoot me.Yeah. Pretty, I'm happy that didn't
happen. Yeah, that could havewent like really wrong, right for sure,
you get something that shoot a gunin the yeah they yeah, narly.
So where did you grow up?I grew up in Indiana, um
(18:00):
near like Northwest Indiana, which isnear Chicago pretty much. It's like forty
five minutes fifty minutes from Chicago,Okay, Like it's not really like the
rest of Indiana, which is alllike farmland and like more rural. You're
in the suburbs. Yeah, thisis more like a suburb of Chicago in
a way, Like even on Craigslist, it's like it's under Chicago and like
(18:26):
that part of Indiana, and likewe would get all Chicago news. We
wouldn't even hear about the rest ofIndiana. Damn. Yeah, so you
got you got pretty bored in theneighborhood. I mean, yeah, that's
why I like my friends and Iwould we started making videos because it was
just a way to have fun.So we started doing tons of crazy stuff.
(18:47):
Like I started filming videos when Iwas like ten, but they were
at first it was like skits andstuff, but then it turned into it
would always end up being stunts.And then eventually, when I was in
middle school, we started doing likecrazier stuff. But then in high school
I had a bunch of like westarted doing really crazy shit. The first
(19:07):
video I'm and I went viral inhigh school was I set myself on fire,
Like I just lit my whole bottomhalf of my body on fire pretty
much. I don't want to saybecause I don't want people to do it,
Okay, but I listell on theinternet. Yeah you can at some
places, but it's like, um, just look up fat kid lights himself
(19:29):
on fire a video of me somewhere, okay, and uh yeah, So
I looked up like the safest wayto light yourself on fire, which is
insane to even try to like andthen have to. Like we tested it
out a couple of times too,but like a smaller version of it to
see how it would be, andthen eventually we're like, okay, this
(19:49):
will work. And I ended upnot getting burned like when I did it,
I only got like I wore thiszip up hoodie, so the button
like the zipper thing got really hotand that burnt me a little bit,
but that was it. Like everythingelse was fine, Like I wasn't.
I did not go to the hospital. Nothing, okay, who's the stunt
coordinator for that one? Me?Yeah, it was just me and my
(20:14):
friends and like we're on the site. We're like on a sand dune,
okay, that mess of things.We only had like one cup of water,
like we didn't have anything. Yeah, so I'm using the sand to
get put out. I'm just rollingdown a sand dune and then eventually it
gets put out. But then partof my back was on fire, and
then I just laid down and itwent out. Do you regret doing that?
(20:37):
No, No, not at all, because I started making money online,
like making videos like that. Umso then I kept making more viral
videos and then like he like everyone, like my friends, I would make
these viral videos and then they wouldend up going like would go viral online.
There's some different websites back then thatwould pay you if you made like
(21:00):
the home page of their website.There was also like TV shows that would
hit us up and want to useour clips. Like there was this channel
called True TV which had like allthese shows like Top twenty Dumbest or Top
twenty Daredevils or like Top ten Rednecksor whatever. They would make all these
clip shows like before ridiculousness and nitashpoint zero and they would like take they
(21:23):
would like pay a decent amount ofmoney for the clips and I could keep
and I could license amount to othershows. Wow. So I started like
doing pretty well from that. Thatwas the start of the career. Yeah,
it was. And then eventually therewas this h like a digital cable
channel called G four, which islike a video game channel, and they
had all these different shows in there, but they had this one show that
(21:45):
was called web Sue and that wasjust like a clip show sort of rather
ridiculousness, but it was pretty it'spretty funny. Um. But I was
on every episode of that as aclip. I had a clip on every
episode at least for the first season. And so that was cool. Was
it the top ten sexiest? Iwish? And then events or the season
(22:06):
finale, they flew me out tola and that was my first time I
was on like TV like like actually, and I had I filmed all this
stuff with them. And then sothey flew you from the suburbs. Yeah,
they flew me from damn Well.It was in high school and I
was like, dude, this isgonna like work out. So I kept
pretty much at that point, Iwas about to get expelled from school like
(22:29):
anyways, so and it was likethe beginning of my senior year and I
was like, dude, I'm gonnaget expelled. They're like getting mad about
all the video stuff, like becauselike I'm using other people from the school.
Yeah, they were upset about that. They're trying to make it into
a way bigger problem than it was. I did like one person did break
their arm and like that was myfriend, uh, my friend Andy.
(22:53):
That was supernarly. The video wasinsane, but like we sacked up all
these milk crates and uh were theywere all trying to run up it.
Like it was it wasn't even likemy house before that big trend came out.
Yeah, yeah, it was waybefore that. Like so we were
doing the milk the milk Rate,the milk Crate challenge, yeah, back
(23:15):
in freaking nineteen ninety five. Yeah, like I think it was like two
thousand and seven, so technically likewe really like like yeah, I've talked
to him since then, and hewas like, dude, we were doing
this way before the right people anduh he ran so many Yeah, he
ran up and it was almost likethe thing in Mario, where do you
(23:36):
go up the thing? And youjumped to get the flag, but he
would jump and go into my trampoline. That's what we were trying to goa
and he like he gets all theway up there, and some other guy
threw a because he threw a crateat someone earlier when they were going up
it, and so they fell.And this other guy fucking throws the crate
right when he's on the top leveland it knocks it over and he falls
(24:00):
down in his arm snaps, Ohmy god. Um the guys I watched
this, Yeah, it was prettyGnarly's wasn't anticipating that happening. Then we
took him to the hospital and thenschool got hurt about that. But then
like so they were like onto orlike yeah, this is like dangerous.
He guys shouldn't be doing this.But everyone wanted to do this stuff for
(24:22):
real. They're willing. Yeah.Yeah, like I we just loved making
crazy stuff and I haven't We hada lot of fun doing that, said
dud uh. One time we didthis thing where I we've been in a
jousting lance out of this tree limband put a boxing glove in the end
(24:45):
of it and the guy that brokehis arm, my friend Andy, he
like drove it. It's fat,like probably like twenty or thirty miles an
hour and rammed it into my notholy shit, I ended up hyper extending
my knee and that was like oneof the like my knees still messed up
from that. Yeah, is thatyour worst injury? That was back then?
(25:06):
It was, And then I didsome of crazy n shots and stuff
back then. But back to thewhole school thing. So I ended up
like they were trying to get mein trouble for like they said I was
like recruiting people to light themselves ona fire, which wasn't totally true.
Um, and I was like,dude, I'm not I'm not gonna deal
with this, so I uh,I pretty much was about to get expelled.
(25:29):
So I just dropped out and gotmy g D a few weeks ago
and then kept making the videos sickdude. Yeah I took my g D.
Yeah. How many times did ittake for you to pass it?
It was just once? Yeah.I ended up I did like this class
like technically they made me take likethis class thing though that I had to
do for like a couple of weeks. Yeah, and then I continuation school.
(25:52):
Yeah. I did this class fora couple of weeks, just like
doing that and fresh the tests.Yeah, and then I ended up of
passing the first time. Did youlike school? I mean it was fun
like hanging out with everyone. Ididn't really like being in school in general.
Yeah, Like, after you learnlike all the basic stuff, it's
like if you sort of know whatyou want to do, it's like,
(26:12):
why am I learning all this otherstuff? For sure? How are you
in algebra? Not good? Imean I feel like maybe basic algebras yeah,
yeah, but like when it startsgetting super crazy, I'm like,
yeah, I don't really need that, Like I don't know what I'm gonna
use. Yeah, the solution islike the line and then go straight.
Yeah, and there's like one numberand like four numbers. You're like,
what the hell do I do here? You're like, Okay, this is
(26:36):
stupid, let's go do some stunts. I love it. Yeah, sick.
So I would always get in troublein school, like just for like
joking or are you a class clown? Definitely in middle school we did this,
Uh, I had these stink bombsand like we got these stink bombs
online. I think we got themon eBay or something. And then we
(26:59):
we win, and uh we threwlike two of them in the in the
in the bathroom like you're in thecafeteria. Oh shit. And so the
lunch lady was pissed. Dude,okay, this it was so gnarly like
it made I didn't know it wasgonna smell that bad and be that insane,
but it smells up the whole cafeteria. People started puking, the lunch
(27:22):
ladies, Like the lunch ladies arepuking, like you could smell it all
the way up to like the thirdlevel of the Holy shit, it was
so gnarly. Holy shit, I'mtrying to figure out who did it.
And then I had given some otherrandom guys stink bomb and up he uh
he he got caught with it,and he didn't want to get in trouble
(27:42):
because they're gonna blame everything on him, and he he read it on and
then my friend and I both wentinto like we got pulled in the principal's
office and he goes in there andhe says it was all his stink bombs,
and I was like, I didn't. I didn't know that what he
had said either, because they hadseparated us, so I was like,
(28:02):
yeah, they're all mine. Sothey had like different stories. Oh yeah,
they're trying to put it all together, trying to drag anyone else into
it, and uh yeah, thenthey still put us both in uh in
school suspension for it. But theywere like trying to like uh do like
out of school suspension for a while. Um, because it was like after
(28:22):
nine to eleven, and it wasit's just because it's called a stink bomb.
Yeah, they're like, big deal. They're making it a way bigger
deal. No, Like it's nota real bomb. Yeah, it's just
liquid that smells like shit. Yeah, then you didn't freaked the lunch laters
like, yep, you're not gettingas much food as you are yesterday.
(28:45):
I bet. Wow, that's awesomestory. So when they flew to La,
what happened in La? Oh,we filmed a bunch of stuff.
Um, we like we filmed likethis different skit for a couple of different
things for the episode and then andthey like used a bunch of my videos
in that episode two and then itended up coming out and it was pretty
good dude was sick. Were yourparents proud of you? Yeah? They
(29:08):
were stoked on in um because likethat was the first time they really saw
that it was like could like leadto something, you know. Um.
But then my but my family andstuff, they weren't really stoked in all
the stunt stuff in general because theywere just afraid of me getting hurt.
And then it was like racking upmedical bills. It didn't really seem like
it was worth me doing. Yeah. Yeah, But then like eventually I
(29:33):
got like that I had an MTVshow for like a season, and they
saw it paying off there because butI had stopped doing stunt stuff for a
long time, yeah, like afterhigh school, just because inies, just
the bills, it's like a bunchof stuff like in mine. And then
we I sort of got a normaljob. I was working at Walmart.
(29:55):
Walmart. I was working at Walmartfor like three and a half years,
but there was like two two yearsin between that that I just wasn't doing
stunts also, so I went likefive years and not really doing a little
breaks and then I got arrested.Well, like while I was working at
Walmart, I got like a DUIfor weed in Indiana and I ended up
(30:17):
having to go to jail for amonth. No way. Yeah, yeah,
like I wasn't uh, it wasn'teven high when I was driving,
but my my my friend smelled.My friend smell like weed. So the
cops had like the cops had nothingto doing this. Yeah, but I
was living in a different part ofIndiana where there's literally nothing, nothing at
all. They're sniffing out there.Yeah, my friend smelled like weed.
(30:41):
I just picked him up from work, but he actually set off the alarm
at the gas station works. Sothe cops followed us and you know,
they pull us over. He smellslike weed, and they're like, okay,
it smells like weed in here,Um, we need to mouth swab
you. And I was like,no, you don't, You're not doing
anything. And then but because Iwould have passed the mouth swab, but
(31:03):
because I denied doing it, it'slike considered like an admission of guil and
then they take Then they got awarrant from my blood. And there's definitely
like a weed station or system fora long time. Yeah, So I
went to the I go to thehospital. They take me to the hospital
and handcuffs and get my blood drawn, and I feel like I went to
the jail that night and then theylet me out in the morning like on
(31:27):
my own reconnaissance or whatever. Butthen like I worked at Walmart for like
nine months after that, and thenI got a letter in the mail saying
I had to go to court,and I was like, fuck, dude,
they're actually because I thought they weren't. Kind of I thought I was
good. Yeah after nine months,Yeah, I thought I was good.
And then I did I did monthin jail, bro. Yeah, so
(31:48):
yeah, I didn't do it.And then I go to the court day
and that's when I did the monthin jail. Okay, that's when after
the court date. Yeah, yeah, that's when I did the month in
jail. So they just didn't evenlet you go home. They just straight
from court to gel. Yeah,pretty much like I uh yeah, so
I had to do that. That'sdam Um. It wasn't that bad.
Um it like at first, likeI met a couple of people in there
(32:13):
that I still talk to you sometimes. Um, but uh, it wasn't
as bad as you would think.But it got kind of normally sometimes at
the end of it. Yeah,sometimes it got kind of normally, Like
one of the funniest things though,is like this is like really scary at
first. When you go in there, there'd always be someone who would come
in at night. They would belike, I don't belong here. I
(32:35):
don't belong Oh yeah yeah. Theystart screaming and stuff, and that was
super scary to me at first,But then like after a week, I
was like, yeah, it becamelike really funny, and it's like you
shut the fuck Yeah you belong here, dude, you did it? God?
Yeah, like fuck, you shutthe fuck up right, Yeah,
(32:55):
dude, I've had some experiences likethat. Yeah, they don't like that
out when they freaking wake everyone up. Yeah, no, it's a it's
a vegan. Yeah, it's abig no. Note like when they were
used to like in like the holdingarea when they're doing that, like if
they did that in the fucking blockpart, you get the shit kicked out.
Yeah, for sure. So yougot out of jail and then parents
(33:17):
are still proud. Yeah. Theyhad this one day where they needed like
volunteer people to go and like dothis like sandbag thing for FEMA for this
like drill uh and uh. Theywere like I said I would go do
it. So they let because theywould they would let us go outside pretty
much. So I was like,oh, yeah, sick. Yeah,
(33:37):
So I went and did it,and uh then they put me in the
news on the front page of thepaper in town, like my jail of
them like phill sandbags. It wasso funny. That's so awesome while you're
doing good for the community. Yeah, yeah, you guys are helping out
the community. And then uh,there's a lot of Yeah, there's a
(33:58):
lot of good that comes from jail. It's not all bad. But yeah,
the whole time I was in therethat I was like, I want
to like, I don't want towork a normal job again. I want
to do it over Walmart. Yeah, I'm over working a normal job.
I want to do something that Ilove and that's making videos. And I
wasn't really sure if that was goingto be stunts at first, but then
I was like sort of assessing,like what's viral online round There wasn't a
(34:20):
lot of stunt people, so Iwas like, if I started doing stunts
again, I could probably go viral. So I started doing the craziestuff I
can think of. I put thisskate, I did this one where I
jump on the skateboard on the spineramp and it snaps and half. Yea,
you broke your leg. Oh no, not that that was later it's
coming up. Oh damn. SoI did this one where I jumped on
(34:42):
the skateboard and then snaps in halfand I like nutchat on the rail and
that one super viral, and thenlike one of the next really big ones
was like I I wrapped a bunchof firecarrecters around my body. Oh yeah,
that's the Yeah, that's the onethat was gnarly. I did that.
(35:02):
That one XYZ had on it.Yeah, yeah, because I had
been talking to x y Z andthey were like giving me a bunch of
clothes and I was making videos andstuff with their stuff on sick shout yeah,
shout out Tommy. Um. Thenuh I went and uh like pretty
much. Stevo reposted the fire cractorbut yep, then he was like,
(35:23):
let's come like, I want youto come out. I talked to him
on the phone. I want youto come out. We'll film some sulf
together. He usually doesn't do thatwith people. No, So I went
out and I filmed this like gnarlything. We're in skateboard into a cactus
like a cactus patch. Yep,I remember that, Yeah, that one
really viral. You guys were inCarlsbad. Yeah yeah, yeah, sick
(35:43):
it was at the lagoon. Huhoh, well we did that thing in
La the cactus thing. But becausealso like I ended up moving down and
like Encinitas for a little bit too, okay, um, but yeah,
so we're filming a bunch of crazystuff. It was really fun. And
(36:06):
then I also, like within fivemonths in beginning on a jail, I
got this TV show deal and thatwas like really awesome for me. I
was like, this is sick,like I this is all like paying off,
right, Yeah, I got Iwent through the ringer before that happened,
though, just like getting hurt andgetting burned, having all these different
things happen. Yeah, a lotof it's not on the film. Uh
(36:28):
well there like that time I filmeda lot of a lot of that was
on video, but then there's otherstuff that dis on video. Yeah,
but uh that's what that's what itwas like. For me. I got
parties, I do do stupid shit. Yeah yeah, I'm like, fuck,
why didn't we film that? Yeah? Yeah, so you know,
eventually then I ended up making anMTV show that was fun. What was
(36:52):
that called Too Stupid to Die?Okay, but uh yeah, like I
want. The main thing with thatthough, was I was like I was
still like a kind of like agnarly drug addict at the time, so
I wasn't really like present for it. And I really regret having that happen,
you know, because I wasn't likeable to do like I wasn't able
(37:15):
to give it my all, yeahat all? Yeah for sure close.
So you yeah, I wasn't inthe full Zach like and I feel bad
about that for like my other friendson the show and just me personally,
you know, like I could havedone way better. But we ended up
doing some reshoots where I was soberand that helped, but it wasn't really
(37:37):
enough. So the show like theshow did okay and did uh but it
didn't do like it didn't do likeit did fine, but it didn't do
amazing and they wanted to like doreally well to get a second season,
so we ended up not getting asecond season. Fuck um yeah. But
(37:57):
and then in between then I wasjust like fuck, what am i I'm
gonna do? You know, SoI just kept filming stuffer online and then
eventually I got to hit a bythe jackass goes hell yeah, dude,
Yeah that's when we made it.Yeah, yeah, that's when you made
it, dude. Yeah that wasfun. Hell yeah. I still have

(01:26):
dude. No worries, dude.So the first question is, um,
how many times have you been kickedin the nuts? Um? Dude,
I've really lost count, But likeso, I used to do this thing
called like two dollars nut shots whenI was like younger and like didn't have
money, and I would like goto Chicago with like and you have people
(01:49):
pay me two dollars get kicked onthe nuts, and I would like sometimes
once a couple of the times Ihad like over like one hundred people do
it. God, dude, theydo not care. They were like they
didn't give a fuck. Dude.One guy like lifted me off the ground.
Yeah he was. He was huge, dude, and he like fucking
(02:13):
really kicks me. So dude.Yeah. So like I mean, but
then all the different nutshots that I'vedone on video and stuff, so we're
probably and I've done that a lot. And then sometimes people like fans and
stuff will come up to me andI want to kick me in the nuts.
But I haven't really been doing thatmuch lately because it's like I don't
(02:34):
want to get kicks from the nutsall the time. Yeah, sure,
I gotta start for that. Yeah, So I mean it's probably. I
just did an early nuts shot theother day that I'm gonna post. That
was fun, dude. I seenthe other day you had, um a
little person jump on your nuts.Yeah. Yeah. It was these guys
from this uh YouTube channel or somethingcalled Grandma's House TV. They're they're really
(02:59):
funny, they're on to hang outwith you. And then I actually kicked
one of them in the head whenI was trying to kick this like can
off. Yeah, did he getworked or what not? It wasn't too
bad, but it was like itwas enough that I was like, I
felt bad about it. I waslike, no, I usually always make
this damn yeah. Hell yeah dude, Yeah I saw that clip. It
(03:21):
looked amazing. Yeah. So Imean probably with the nutshot stuff, it's
I'm saying it's in the thousands,okay, and you can they're still working.
Yeah, I mean, well,I don't know how good, like
how like I don't know my spermgown is, but like they it still
works. Damn dude. A thousandnuts shots you guys, like that's gotta
(03:42):
be like the most nutshots probably worldrecord. I want to say, we
got to look that up. Umyeah, dude, I gotta nut kick
from you like a month ago,and you went underneath my my nuts and
hit me right in the chode Likethat hurt more than a nut shot.
(04:03):
I think chode shots are like theworst thing that you could ever experience.
Yeah, so yeah, I gotto feel that and your your your shoe
was not soft at all. Itwas like a hard shoe. Dude.
I was like, dude, ithurts so bad, like my butt hole
hurt. It was like my batthat happens sometimes. Yeah. Yeah,
(04:26):
it's too hard, so like hitlike the whole surrounding area. Yeah.
Yeah, I think you're just likea little too close or something. But
yeah, you got me pretty good. It's I think it's worse though,
when they don't like go up andunder like it will, like if they
just hit direct nuts like as afool kike. It's so much worse.
(04:49):
It's so much worse. When Iwas with Stevo on two hour doing stand
up this this one lady like kickme in the nuts with her prosthetical a
and I didn't think about it beinglike all metal. It was so bad.

Um. I had this one thingI was trying to do once where
(17:17):
there was this one artist like backin the day, like back in the
day, like where he filmed thisthing and he like gets shot by like
a real gun, but he doesn'thave a bullet pro vest on indust shoots
order like the fat on his arm. But he had like someone do it.
Oh. I was like, dude, I would like back when I
(17:37):
was like doing supernarly stuff. Iwas like trying to get that done,
but no one would shoot me.Yeah. Pretty, I'm happy that didn't
happen. Yeah, that could havewent like really wrong, right for sure,
you get something that shoot a gunin the yeah they yeah, narly.
So where did you grow up?I grew up in Indiana, um
(18:00):
near like Northwest Indiana, which isnear Chicago pretty much. It's like forty
five minutes fifty minutes from Chicago,Okay, Like it's not really like the
rest of Indiana, which is alllike farmland and like more rural. You're
in the suburbs. Yeah, thisis more like a suburb of Chicago in
a way, Like even on Craigslist, it's like it's under Chicago and like
(18:26):
that part of Indiana, and likewe would get all Chicago news. We
wouldn't even hear about the rest ofIndiana. Damn. Yeah, so you
got you got pretty bored in theneighborhood. I mean, yeah, that's
why I like my friends and Iwould we started making videos because it was
just a way to have fun.So we started doing tons of crazy stuff.
(18:47):
Like I started filming videos when Iwas like ten, but they were
at first it was like skits andstuff, but then it turned into it
would always end up being stunts.And then eventually, when I was in
middle school, we started doing likecrazier stuff. But then in high school
I had a bunch of like westarted doing really crazy shit. The first
(19:07):
video I'm and I went viral inhigh school was I set myself on fire,
Like I just lit my whole bottomhalf of my body on fire pretty
much. I don't want to saybecause I don't want people to do it,
Okay, but I listell on theinternet. Yeah you can at some
places, but it's like, um, just look up fat kid lights himself
(19:29):
on fire a video of me somewhere, okay, and uh yeah, So
I looked up like the safest wayto light yourself on fire, which is
insane to even try to like andthen have to. Like we tested it
out a couple of times too,but like a smaller version of it to
see how it would be, andthen eventually we're like, okay, this
(19:49):
will work. And I ended upnot getting burned like when I did it,
I only got like I wore thiszip up hoodie, so the button
like the zipper thing got really hotand that burnt me a little bit,
but that was it. Like everythingelse was fine, Like I wasn't.
I did not go to the hospital. Nothing, okay, who's the stunt
coordinator for that one? Me?Yeah, it was just me and my
(20:14):
friends and like we're on the site. We're like on a sand dune,
okay, that mess of things.We only had like one cup of water,
like we didn't have anything. Yeah, so I'm using the sand to
get put out. I'm just rollingdown a sand dune and then eventually it
gets put out. But then partof my back was on fire, and
then I just laid down and itwent out. Do you regret doing that?
(20:37):
No, No, not at all, because I started making money online,
like making videos like that. Umso then I kept making more viral
videos and then like he like everyone, like my friends, I would make
these viral videos and then they wouldend up going like would go viral online.
There's some different websites back then thatwould pay you if you made like
(21:00):
the home page of their website.There was also like TV shows that would
hit us up and want to useour clips. Like there was this channel
called True TV which had like allthese shows like Top twenty Dumbest or Top
twenty Daredevils or like Top ten Rednecksor whatever. They would make all these
clip shows like before ridiculousness and nitashpoint zero and they would like take they
(21:23):
would like pay a decent amount ofmoney for the clips and I could keep
and I could license amount to othershows. Wow. So I started like
doing pretty well from that. Thatwas the start of the career. Yeah,
it was. And then eventually therewas this h like a digital cable
channel called G four, which islike a video game channel, and they
had all these different shows in there, but they had this one show that
(21:45):
was called web Sue and that wasjust like a clip show sort of rather
ridiculousness, but it was pretty it'spretty funny. Um. But I was
on every episode of that as aclip. I had a clip on every
episode at least for the first season. And so that was cool. Was
it the top ten sexiest? Iwish? And then events or the season
(22:06):
finale, they flew me out tola and that was my first time I
was on like TV like like actually, and I had I filmed all this
stuff with them. And then sothey flew you from the suburbs. Yeah,
they flew me from damn Well.It was in high school and I
was like, dude, this isgonna like work out. So I kept
pretty much at that point, Iwas about to get expelled from school like
(22:29):
anyways, so and it was likethe beginning of my senior year and I
was like, dude, I'm gonnaget expelled. They're like getting mad about
all the video stuff, like becauselike I'm using other people from the school.
Yeah, they were upset about that. They're trying to make it into
a way bigger problem than it was. I did like one person did break
their arm and like that was myfriend, uh, my friend Andy.
(22:53):
That was supernarly. The video wasinsane, but like we sacked up all
these milk crates and uh were theywere all trying to run up it.
Like it was it wasn't even likemy house before that big trend came out.
Yeah, yeah, it was waybefore that. Like so we were
doing the milk the milk Rate,the milk Crate challenge, yeah, back
(23:15):
in freaking nineteen ninety five. Yeah, like I think it was like two
thousand and seven, so technically likewe really like like yeah, I've talked
to him since then, and hewas like, dude, we were doing
this way before the right people anduh he ran so many Yeah, he
ran up and it was almost likethe thing in Mario, where do you
(23:36):
go up the thing? And youjumped to get the flag, but he
would jump and go into my trampoline. That's what we were trying to goa
and he like he gets all theway up there, and some other guy
threw a because he threw a crateat someone earlier when they were going up
it, and so they fell.And this other guy fucking throws the crate
right when he's on the top leveland it knocks it over and he falls
(24:00):
down in his arm snaps, Ohmy god. Um the guys I watched
this, Yeah, it was prettyGnarly's wasn't anticipating that happening. Then we
took him to the hospital and thenschool got hurt about that. But then
like so they were like onto orlike yeah, this is like dangerous.
He guys shouldn't be doing this.But everyone wanted to do this stuff for
(24:22):
real. They're willing. Yeah.Yeah, like I we just loved making
crazy stuff and I haven't We hada lot of fun doing that, said
dud uh. One time we didthis thing where I we've been in a
jousting lance out of this tree limband put a boxing glove in the end
(24:45):
of it and the guy that brokehis arm, my friend Andy, he
like drove it. It's fat,like probably like twenty or thirty miles an
hour and rammed it into my notholy shit, I ended up hyper extending
my knee and that was like oneof the like my knees still messed up
from that. Yeah, is thatyour worst injury? That was back then?
(25:06):
It was, And then I didsome of crazy n shots and stuff
back then. But back to thewhole school thing. So I ended up
like they were trying to get mein trouble for like they said I was
like recruiting people to light themselves ona fire, which wasn't totally true.
Um, and I was like,dude, I'm not I'm not gonna deal
with this, so I uh,I pretty much was about to get expelled.
(25:29):
So I just dropped out and gotmy g D a few weeks ago
and then kept making the videos sickdude. Yeah I took my g D.
Yeah. How many times did ittake for you to pass it?
It was just once? Yeah.I ended up I did like this class
like technically they made me take likethis class thing though that I had to
do for like a couple of weeks. Yeah, and then I continuation school.
(25:52):
Yeah. I did this class fora couple of weeks, just like
doing that and fresh the tests.Yeah, and then I ended up of
passing the first time. Did youlike school? I mean it was fun
like hanging out with everyone. Ididn't really like being in school in general.
Yeah, Like, after you learnlike all the basic stuff, it's
like if you sort of know whatyou want to do, it's like,
(26:12):
why am I learning all this otherstuff? For sure? How are you
in algebra? Not good? Imean I feel like maybe basic algebras yeah,
yeah, but like when it startsgetting super crazy, I'm like,
yeah, I don't really need that, Like I don't know what I'm gonna
use. Yeah, the solution islike the line and then go straight.
Yeah, and there's like one numberand like four numbers. You're like,
what the hell do I do here? You're like, Okay, this is
(26:36):
stupid, let's go do some stunts. I love it. Yeah, sick.
So I would always get in troublein school, like just for like
joking or are you a class clown? Definitely in middle school we did this,
Uh, I had these stink bombsand like we got these stink bombs
online. I think we got themon eBay or something. And then we
(26:59):
we win, and uh we threwlike two of them in the in the
in the bathroom like you're in thecafeteria. Oh shit. And so the
lunch lady was pissed. Dude,okay, this it was so gnarly like
it made I didn't know it wasgonna smell that bad and be that insane,
but it smells up the whole cafeteria. People started puking, the lunch
(27:22):
ladies, Like the lunch ladies arepuking, like you could smell it all
the way up to like the thirdlevel of the Holy shit, it was
so gnarly. Holy shit, I'mtrying to figure out who did it.
And then I had given some otherrandom guys stink bomb and up he uh
he he got caught with it,and he didn't want to get in trouble
(27:42):
because they're gonna blame everything on him, and he he read it on and
then my friend and I both wentinto like we got pulled in the principal's
office and he goes in there andhe says it was all his stink bombs,
and I was like, I didn't. I didn't know that what he
had said either, because they hadseparated us, so I was like,
(28:02):
yeah, they're all mine. Sothey had like different stories. Oh yeah,
they're trying to put it all together, trying to drag anyone else into
it, and uh yeah, thenthey still put us both in uh in
school suspension for it. But theywere like trying to like uh do like
out of school suspension for a while. Um, because it was like after
(28:22):
nine to eleven, and it wasit's just because it's called a stink bomb.
Yeah, they're like, big deal. They're making it a way bigger
deal. No, Like it's nota real bomb. Yeah, it's just
liquid that smells like shit. Yeah, then you didn't freaked the lunch laters
like, yep, you're not gettingas much food as you are yesterday.
(28:45):
I bet. Wow, that's awesomestory. So when they flew to La,
what happened in La? Oh,we filmed a bunch of stuff.
Um, we like we filmed likethis different skit for a couple of different
things for the episode and then andthey like used a bunch of my videos
in that episode two and then itended up coming out and it was pretty
good dude was sick. Were yourparents proud of you? Yeah? They
(29:08):
were stoked on in um because likethat was the first time they really saw
that it was like could like leadto something, you know. Um.
But then my but my family andstuff, they weren't really stoked in all
the stunt stuff in general because theywere just afraid of me getting hurt.
And then it was like racking upmedical bills. It didn't really seem like
it was worth me doing. Yeah. Yeah, But then like eventually I
(29:33):
got like that I had an MTVshow for like a season, and they
saw it paying off there because butI had stopped doing stunt stuff for a
long time, yeah, like afterhigh school, just because inies, just
the bills, it's like a bunchof stuff like in mine. And then
we I sort of got a normaljob. I was working at Walmart.
(29:55):
Walmart. I was working at Walmartfor like three and a half years,
but there was like two two yearsin between that that I just wasn't doing
stunts also, so I went likefive years and not really doing a little
breaks and then I got arrested.Well, like while I was working at
Walmart, I got like a DUIfor weed in Indiana and I ended up
(30:17):
having to go to jail for amonth. No way. Yeah, yeah,
like I wasn't uh, it wasn'teven high when I was driving,
but my my my friend smelled.My friend smell like weed. So the
cops had like the cops had nothingto doing this. Yeah, but I
was living in a different part ofIndiana where there's literally nothing, nothing at
all. They're sniffing out there.Yeah, my friend smelled like weed.
(30:41):
I just picked him up from work, but he actually set off the alarm
at the gas station works. Sothe cops followed us and you know,
they pull us over. He smellslike weed, and they're like, okay,
it smells like weed in here,Um, we need to mouth swab
you. And I was like,no, you don't, You're not doing
anything. And then but because Iwould have passed the mouth swab, but
(31:03):
because I denied doing it, it'slike considered like an admission of guil and
then they take Then they got awarrant from my blood. And there's definitely
like a weed station or system fora long time. Yeah, So I
went to the I go to thehospital. They take me to the hospital
and handcuffs and get my blood drawn, and I feel like I went to
the jail that night and then theylet me out in the morning like on
(31:27):
my own reconnaissance or whatever. Butthen like I worked at Walmart for like
nine months after that, and thenI got a letter in the mail saying
I had to go to court,and I was like, fuck, dude,
they're actually because I thought they weren't. Kind of I thought I was
good. Yeah after nine months,Yeah, I thought I was good.
And then I did I did monthin jail, bro. Yeah, so
(31:48):
yeah, I didn't do it.And then I go to the court day
and that's when I did the monthin jail. Okay, that's when after
the court date. Yeah, yeah, that's when I did the month in
jail. So they just didn't evenlet you go home. They just straight
from court to gel. Yeah,pretty much like I uh yeah, so
I had to do that. That'sdam Um. It wasn't that bad.
Um it like at first, likeI met a couple of people in there
(32:13):
that I still talk to you sometimes. Um, but uh, it wasn't
as bad as you would think.But it got kind of normally sometimes at
the end of it. Yeah,sometimes it got kind of normally, Like
one of the funniest things though,is like this is like really scary at
first. When you go in there, there'd always be someone who would come
in at night. They would belike, I don't belong here. I
(32:35):
don't belong Oh yeah yeah. Theystart screaming and stuff, and that was
super scary to me at first,But then like after a week, I
was like, yeah, it becamelike really funny, and it's like you
shut the fuck Yeah you belong here, dude, you did it? God?
Yeah, like fuck, you shutthe fuck up right, Yeah,
(32:55):
dude, I've had some experiences likethat. Yeah, they don't like that
out when they freaking wake everyone up. Yeah, no, it's a it's
a vegan. Yeah, it's abig no. Note like when they were
used to like in like the holdingarea when they're doing that, like if
they did that in the fucking blockpart, you get the shit kicked out.
Yeah, for sure. So yougot out of jail and then parents
(33:17):
are still proud. Yeah. Theyhad this one day where they needed like
volunteer people to go and like dothis like sandbag thing for FEMA for this
like drill uh and uh. Theywere like I said I would go do
it. So they let because theywould they would let us go outside pretty
much. So I was like,oh, yeah, sick. Yeah,
(33:37):
So I went and did it,and uh then they put me in the
news on the front page of thepaper in town, like my jail of
them like phill sandbags. It wasso funny. That's so awesome while you're
doing good for the community. Yeah, yeah, you guys are helping out
the community. And then uh,there's a lot of Yeah, there's a
(33:58):
lot of good that comes from jail. It's not all bad. But yeah,
the whole time I was in therethat I was like, I want
to like, I don't want towork a normal job again. I want
to do it over Walmart. Yeah, I'm over working a normal job.
I want to do something that Ilove and that's making videos. And I
wasn't really sure if that was goingto be stunts at first, but then
I was like sort of assessing,like what's viral online round There wasn't a
(34:20):
lot of stunt people, so Iwas like, if I started doing stunts
again, I could probably go viral. So I started doing the craziestuff I
can think of. I put thisskate, I did this one where I
jump on the skateboard on the spineramp and it snaps and half. Yea,
you broke your leg. Oh no, not that that was later it's
coming up. Oh damn. SoI did this one where I jumped on
(34:42):
the skateboard and then snaps in halfand I like nutchat on the rail and
that one super viral, and thenlike one of the next really big ones
was like I I wrapped a bunchof firecarrecters around my body. Oh yeah,
that's the Yeah, that's the onethat was gnarly. I did that.
(35:02):
That one XYZ had on it.Yeah, yeah, because I had
been talking to x y Z andthey were like giving me a bunch of
clothes and I was making videos andstuff with their stuff on sick shout yeah,
shout out Tommy. Um. Thenuh I went and uh like pretty
much. Stevo reposted the fire cractorbut yep, then he was like,
(35:23):
let's come like, I want youto come out. I talked to him
on the phone. I want youto come out. We'll film some sulf
together. He usually doesn't do thatwith people. No, So I went
out and I filmed this like gnarlything. We're in skateboard into a cactus
like a cactus patch. Yep,I remember that, Yeah, that one
really viral. You guys were inCarlsbad. Yeah yeah, yeah, sick
(35:43):
it was at the lagoon. Huhoh, well we did that thing in
La the cactus thing. But becausealso like I ended up moving down and
like Encinitas for a little bit too, okay, um, but yeah,
so we're filming a bunch of crazystuff. It was really fun. And
(36:06):
then I also, like within fivemonths in beginning on a jail, I
got this TV show deal and thatwas like really awesome for me. I
was like, this is sick,like I this is all like paying off,
right, Yeah, I got Iwent through the ringer before that happened,
though, just like getting hurt andgetting burned, having all these different
things happen. Yeah, a lotof it's not on the film. Uh
(36:28):
well there like that time I filmeda lot of a lot of that was
on video, but then there's otherstuff that dis on video. Yeah,
but uh that's what that's what itwas like. For me. I got
parties, I do do stupid shit. Yeah yeah, I'm like, fuck,
why didn't we film that? Yeah? Yeah, so you know,
eventually then I ended up making anMTV show that was fun. What was
(36:52):
that called Too Stupid to Die?Okay, but uh yeah, like I
want. The main thing with thatthough, was I was like I was
still like a kind of like agnarly drug addict at the time, so
I wasn't really like present for it. And I really regret having that happen,
you know, because I wasn't likeable to do like I wasn't able
(37:15):
to give it my all, yeahat all? Yeah for sure close.
So you yeah, I wasn't inthe full Zach like and I feel bad
about that for like my other friendson the show and just me personally,
you know, like I could havedone way better. But we ended up
doing some reshoots where I was soberand that helped, but it wasn't really
(37:37):
enough. So the show like theshow did okay and did uh but it
didn't do like it didn't do likeit did fine, but it didn't do
amazing and they wanted to like doreally well to get a second season,
so we ended up not getting asecond season. Fuck um yeah. But
(37:57):
and then in between then I wasjust like fuck, what am i I'm
