Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Johnny, you get emotional in the lightest film. Can you
tell us why that is? And you know what you're
going to miss exactly?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well, I've spent the best part of my adult life
with the Jackass cast and crew, and it's you know,
it's coming to an end. And it's the only time
I've wept in a Jackass film. And I'm going to

(00:36):
miss doing what we do, traveling all over the world
doing really silly shit together. But that's all right. We're
going to stay together doing films, but just not Jackass.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
How do you know you didn't cry after the Bull
and jack Ass forever.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Because I had those little birdies going around my head. Yeah,
I may have cried. I saw him. He didn't cry.
He snored. He was sleeping. Minutes he was sleeping. Let
him sleep.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
How much of the whole how much of the whole thing, Johnny? Well,
is just an excuse to catch up with the Mits again.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
That's uh, that's not too far off, Like we wanted
to get together and do it again for us and
for the fans. It's uh, you know, you got Paramount
giving you money to do the dumbest shit possible. Uh,
it's not a bad gig.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Will we see in this film the last if a
stunt performed by Johnny Knoxville.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I doubt it. Yeah, some of the some of the
stuff I did didn't even make the film I got.
I took a liver shot from a heavyweight boxer. Uh,
and it just I don't know if you've ever been
hitting the liver, but it just paralyzes you and you
can't breathe. And didn't even make a film. Oh thanks

(02:03):
a lot. But yeah, I look, I can do stunts
from the neck down, but I just can't do any stunts.
I can't get any more concussions. I've had too many.
I promised my kids and wife that I wouldn't do
that anymore, and I probably you know, I kind of
made a promise to myself too. It sucks, but I can't.
No more head trauma, No more head trauma.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Speaking of his pontius, this one's for you. How often
in a dig wake a month would you be asked
to show someone your downstairs?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (02:33):
You know how how often I get asked it's weird, yeah,
by like jackass.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Fans all the time. Yeah yeah, and so I show them? No, no, no,
I don't. You don't have to ask him.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
You know, it doesn't take a whole lot of arm
twisting to get him out of those uncomfortable clothes I
don't like.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
Yeah, I hate wearing clothes like I hate them, and
I look funny naked, so I might as well do it, like.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Look funny, you look amazing, by the way, excellent segue.
Speaking of header hammerhead?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Is it have you found, Chris, that it's getting bigger
or smaller with age?

Speaker 2 (03:09):
It's actually, you know what, that's funny you asked that.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
I don't know. It's because maybe I lost weight recently
or something. But I noticed in the past, like six months,
maybe I felt my penis has been it's been growing
a little bit, not not like inches or anything, but
it's it's it's slightly bigger than.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
It used to be.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
It might be the gravity of them.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
Might be gravity from Yeah that that head is so
big it just pulls it down. That's what's happening.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, yeah, that's what. It's very top heavy. It's it's crazy.
What's it's warm too? It's warm.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
What's the main thing that people bring up to you
when they say you guys out in the wild when
they bump into any of the three vias. What's the
number one thing that they they yell out to you
or the number one stand or prank or the thing
that they remember.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
You know, you used to people when the guys wanted
to fight me. When this first, you know, I got
in a lot of fights.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
I don't think they wanted to fight you. They just
wanted to be part of the crew. And they kick
you in the deck withoutout asking asking.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, and I took that is let's fight, but I would.
But now people just come up and it's just they
just like we'll say hello and and thank me and
us for doing what we do. I got h Yeah.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
I think like when it first came out, like when
like the people that were like our same.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Age, like in their twenties.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yeah, twenty year olds are much more likely to want
to kick you in the balls than like forty or
fifty year olds. And U I think because they didn't
like respect us as much, were more like their peers.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
So yeah, I think I think they just feel like
they're hanging out with their part of the crew, watching
the movie. You feel like you're with you.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, it wasn't just kicking the balls. Girls would sometimes
come up and hit me right in the face, or
put cigarettes out on my face. That was a long time.
It doesn't happen anymore, terrible, Yeah, or give you a smooch.
That happened a couple of times.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Christian for jif, like, out of all of the Jackass
performers and crew, who's the biggest pussy.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
That's an excellent question.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Excellent question. It's I mean, yeah, I mean it might
be me. I'm not really part of the there's really
no I don't want to call them out just because
if they are a pussy, then ship still happens to them.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
You know what I mean, Like it's relative.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
They they don't volunteer necessary for it, but it's still
gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
If they try to be a pussy. Jeff ensures that
they're not, because if you try to back out of
an idea, Jeff will make you do it. Yeah. Yeah,
brave pussies. Yeah yeah. That should have been like.

Speaker 1 (06:01):

Speaker 2 (06:06):

Speaker 1 (06:08):

daughters are actually smart, and my son is. He's an athlete,
