Episode Overview

This lively episode of Throwing Fits welcomes the legendary Johnny Knoxville, the mastermind and frontman of the infamous Jackass crew, to reflect on 26 years of chaotic creativity, physical mayhem, and cultural impact. With the new (and allegedly final) film, Jackass: Best and Last, hitting theaters, Knoxville dives into the evolution of the franchise, the stunts that left the biggest mark (literally and figuratively), the brotherhood of the cast, tales from the set, the bittersweetness of "the last ride," and what comes next. The conversation, full of humor, self-deprecation, and surprising sincerity, offers both a nostalgic look back and an irreverent behind-the-scenes peek at a pop culture phenomenon.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Johnny’s Uniform & Personal Style

[01:43 – 03:14]

• Knoxville arrives "suited and booted," taking the hosts through a signature fit check:
  • Chuck Taylors, "same old shoes I've been wearing forever."
  • Brown Dickies, thrift store cardigan, cheap green blazer, Ray-Ban spectacles, white boxers ("Same underpants.").
  • Explains he's in a tie because he "has a few things to do today" but jokes, "This was just for you guys."
  • On his wardrobe loyalty: "I go through a new pair [of Chucks] like once every year and a half." (02:44)
  • Ongoing collaborations with Converse for friends-and-family special editions.

Jackass: Best and Last

[04:16 – 09:53]

• Why a final film? Knoxville describes it as "a love letter to our fans. Love letter to us because we still love doing it." (04:44)
• The film is half new footage, half "best of," directed in parts by Spike Jonze.
• Introduction of a "humanoid robot," 1W Larry, to the cast ("AI is the future, folks." 05:19)
• On stunts and cast morale: "Once you get on set, the reality of it sets in and no one knows what's happening at any time." (05:52)
• The MVPs this time around: "I say Poopies. Poopies earned his stripes... Steve-O did a great job. Aaron always gets it." (07:56)

Most Memorable & Gruesome Stunts

[10:01 – 14:00]

• Most painful injury: "I absolutely hated the pepper spray... it lasts for like 30, 40 minutes and you get home, shower, and you reignite it." (09:22)
• Surreal and repetitive injuries: "I broke my penis and my eye popped out a couple times." (10:11)
• On leaving bull stunts behind: "The last concussion sent me offline for about six months...my neurologist says, you're done." (10:33)
• "I've had 16 concussions...I unfortunately win [most injuries]." (09:09)
• The hazards of being a jackass: "I used to see [ER nurses] quite often, but they treat you like a celeb...Luckily, I've got very good insurance." (13:43)

Cast, Camaraderie, and Off-Camera Moments

[14:43 – 18:28]

• Hanging out is both fun and stressful: "For me it's fun because I know 98% of what's going down. For the cast, it's not much fun at all...they don't know when something's going to happen." (15:07)
• Best revenge/prank story: The crew putting horse semen in Knoxville's sunscreen, only for him and Chris Pontius to unwittingly use it on set for weeks ("For the next eight weeks, I put that on…at a screening they showed me what had happened." 17:21)
• "I want Pontius to jack off on the Phantom camera...He said he needed some lube and all I had was the sunscreen." (17:41)

Notable Quote

"I'm always on offense. They have the opportunity to come at me, but it's probably going to be worse for them, and they know it." —Johnny Knoxville (15:55)

The Art of Stunt Creation

[19:56 – 22:26]

• Stunt ideas often come while driving in: "Sometimes the best ideas are just kinds of ones that happen on the fly...it's like jazz with our attention span. Idiotic jazz; jazz for morons." (20:15–20:21)
• On the feeling before a stunt: "Fear will come, like, two or three days out…but when I wake up that morning, I'm like, let's, let's go now." (20:39)
• "Fear is not helpful once you get there that day. It's actually extremely unhelpful to be scared in the moment." (21:14)

When to Walk Away and Cast Dynamics

[22:13 – 25:23]

• Only backed out of one group stunt due to bad vibes after a fatal accident on a nearby slope: "We all walked away...I didn't take it as chickening out. Just making the smart call." (23:44)
• On leadership and morale: Spike Jonze and Jeff Tremaine’s roles in motivating (or manipulating) the group. Tremaine is a “master manipulator” who could start bar fights by planting rumors. (24:39–25:13)

The Celebrity Cameos and Pop Culture Legacy

[33:00 – 41:13]

• Stories about getting Brad Pitt on Jackass:
  • "He was friends with Spike at the time...I went over and asked and he said, sure." (33:13)

  • Celebrity guests like Tyler, the Creator, and John Waters: Both had fun “because they weren’t targeted.”
• Surreal moments: "The biggest one is that Jackass even got on the air...The pilot got shut down while we were filming." (31:11)

• Steve-O's journey to sobriety: "When he got sober, it was, will I still be able to do the things I did before? And it's not—you were able to do that despite the amount of drugs and alcohol...He found that out." (50:47–51:14)
• "The bravery he shows every day...He has defeated that dragon for over 15 years. It's amazing." (51:33–51:46)

Memorable Moments & Humor

Infamous Stunts and Near Misses

[Commercial Announcer]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

We've been talking to converse about underwear wise.

[Interviewer]

Did you have to. Were you able to stick with the tried and true just white boxers when you were rocking a colostomy bag or did that require special underwear?

[Johnny Knoxville]

No, no, same. Same underwear. And it's actually. Yeah, it was actually good because you got. When you're all. They had your penis, like taped down to your sock to. To the side.

[Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

In that little tube running around your leg.

[Interviewer]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And the worst thing about that was getting an erection. And it's taped down. Right. And there's nothing. You can do it at a right angle.

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Interviewer]

Just baseball. Baseball. Margaret Thatcher.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, it was the worst.

[Co-Host]

How often did that happen?

[Johnny Knoxville]

A lot.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Interviewer]

Yeah. It was in your youth.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I even. I even. I. Look, it's just us here. I even tried to get it to go down, but it didn't work.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

[Johnny Knoxville]

Ray ban? Yeah, just easy.

[Interviewer]

Iconic look, man.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, thank you.

[Interviewer]

An American classic. All right, Johnny, we gotta know what was behind the decision to make Jackass best and last the final Jackass.

[Johnny Knoxville]

You know, there was so much excitement around the 25th anniversary that I was seeing the guys a lot. We, you know, did a clothing line drop an art show, and we just started talking like, maybe we do this one more time.

[Shannon Maldonado]

And.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And we wanted to do it right away. So it's like, it's like a. A love letter to our fans. Love letter to us because we still love doing it. And it's about half new footage, half best of footage. And Spike Jones directed the open and close.

[Co-Host]

Incredible.

[Johnny Knoxville]

So, yeah, it's. And best of all, our new Jackass cast member. I guess our last Jackass. Yeah, Truly member, humanoid robot 1W Larry.

[Co-Host]

Oh, that's right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, yeah.

[Co-Host]

AI is the future, folks.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

How did they react to getting kicked in the nuts?

[Johnny Knoxville]

He's. He's not the brightest robot.

[Co-Host]

Right. That wouldn't be on brand if you had actually some real intelligence and artificial.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, no, no, no, no. There's this. There is no intelligence.

[Additional Guest]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

It's just artificial.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Interviewer]

Was. Was there anyone that was like, oh, like, I don't really want to do it. I feel like I'm gonna, you know, maybe tempting fate here, just physically.

[Johnny Knoxville]

No. Every. Every time. Every. All the guys are like that. They're like, oh, we're doing it. Oh, we're doing it.

[Co-Host]

No arm twisting, but regrets across the board.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. Because once you get on set, the reality of it sets in and no one knows what's happening at any time.

[Interviewer]

Right.

[Co-Host]

Mayhem.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Mayhem. It's in. Plus, Jeff and I, we shoot it like. I don't know. Jeff Ross said we shoot it like a pickup basketball game. We barely know what's going on.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

Controlled chaos, right?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Semi controlled. It's.

[Interviewer]

It's like a tape down.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Mostly chaos.

[Interviewer]

It's like a takedown erection.

[Ad Voice]

Yes.

[Johnny Knoxville]

It's like a perfect metaphor.

[Interviewer]

Without giving away any spoilers, what do you think is the one moment in the movie that'll have audiences in theaters covering their eyes?

[Johnny Knoxville]

God, we kind of come out swinging with. It's kind of maybe the first thing of its kind with the rectal robot examination.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Steve O. Gets examined.

[Interviewer]

We're at that age. You got to.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Co-Host]

It's first health. Right. The probing.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And the robot has two hands. Right. One set of hands are tiny little rubber fingers.

[Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And then it has a whole other set of hands that. It's just you. Rectangular, right angles.

[Co-Host]

What would those be used for normally?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Rectal examinations?

[Interviewer]

I guess, like, of like rhinoceros.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Shannon Maldonado]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

It looks. It looked horrible. And thank God we went with those fingers.

[Co-Host]

It's designed for animal husbandry originally, because

[Johnny Knoxville]

I thought once he gets it in, I don't know if he's going to, like, be able to get it out.

[Interviewer]

Right, Right.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

So, again, not that intelligent of a robot.

[Johnny Knoxville]

No, no. Or writers, producers, directors.

[Co-Host]

Right. No one.

[Johnny Knoxville]

You know, no one on the set. There's very little intelligence on.

[Co-Host]

Right. But a lot of talent and a lot of heart.

[Interviewer]

A little of that.

[Co-Host]

What about heart?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Heart, heart, heart.

[Co-Host]

Lots of heart and hustle.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Heart and hustle.

[Interviewer]

Blood, sweat and tears.

[Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

Without. Who do you think was the MVP of Jack Jackass? Best in the last.

[Sponsor Voice]

Ooh,

[Johnny Knoxville]

I say poopies. Really?

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Earned his stripes.

[Interviewer]

Nice.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Steve O. Did a great job. Aaron always gets it.

[Co-Host]

Yep.

[Interviewer]

He was kind of MVP of the last one.

[Co-Host]

Yeah, I think so.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He gets MVP a lot because, I mean, he shows fear and such an entertaining man.

[Co-Host]

Visceral, tangible, and he always had.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He has the ability to make the wrong decision at the most crucial moments.

[Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And it's just. I can't tell you what he's meant to us.

[Co-Host]

You can't teach bad timing like that

[Johnny Knoxville]

and not teach it, so.

[Interviewer]

Such a talent, his overconfidence.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

It was admirable.

[Co-Host]

Unreal, you know.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. He hasn't learned a thing.

[Interviewer]

No.

[Co-Host]

It's beautiful.

[Interviewer]

Not that much intelligence.

[Johnny Knoxville]

No. Yeah. Oh, you're right.

[Co-Host]

Who do you think, in your estimation got up the most?

[Ad Voice]

I.

[Johnny Knoxville]

In this one or through all of.

[Co-Host]

Let's start with this one and then maybe we'll go all time.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I. I would say poopies and Aaron. Okay. Probably, you know, got their hair mused a little. Poopies went night night, you know, and

[Co-Host]

then overall, who's the. Who's got the most injuries, would you say? Is that you?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, probably. Yeah. Me. I. I unfortunately win that one.

[Interviewer]

What do you think has been your top. What was your most painful that for you personally?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oddly enough, I absolutely hated the pepper spray. It's one of the first things I ever did.

[Interviewer]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Because like, it lasts for like 30, 40 minutes and you get home, you take a shower and you reignite it.

[Co-Host]

Sure.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And you can't open your eyes and it's just the worst pain because, like, if you're dealing with something and you get knocked out. You're knocked out.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

You don't feel it, you know, so it's. Those aren't that bad. So also, it happens so quick.

[Interviewer]

Right. Everything.

[Johnny Knoxville]

See a bull and then you're looking up at your friends. Yeah. And the medics.

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I think the. One of the most. I think two of the weirder injuries when I broke my penis and when my eye popped out a couple times.

[Interviewer]

Oh, a couple times.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

So was that like a stuff it back in situation or.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, it wasn't like, hanging like this, but it was like way past Marty Feldman. Right. And so, yeah, I had to poke it back in. Oh, man.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

What made you decide to stop getting into the ring with bulls?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Well, I just had the. The last concussion sent me offline for about six months.

[Co-Host]

God damn.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. It just got worse and worse and worse. And. And I've had 16 concussions. And after that, my neurologist says, you're done.

[Interviewer]

That's the magic number.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, I guess that was the magic number.

[Co-Host]

Johnny's Dozen. Yeah. Shut him down, please.

[Interviewer]

In just the past few months, I don't know if you've been following the news, but there have been some really bad, like professional bull fighting injuries. There was severed anal muscles, testicular goring, some other. Do you think just the bulls out there know that a new jackass is coming and they're out for re.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yes.

[Co-Host]

Something's in the ring.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Bulls have been so good to us and now they're promoting. Yeah. So thank you.

[Interviewer]

Do you think that. Did the possibility of a rectal wall puncture ever run through your head when you're like in the ring with a bull?

[Johnny Knoxville]

No, no, no, I'm not. Usually. Usually. Usually we. The. The horns are blunted.

[Co-Host]

Gotcha.

[Interviewer]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I think it's the Spanish bull fighting bulls that are. Their horns remain unblinted.

[Co-Host]

They're going mother.

[Johnny Knoxville]

They just have swords on their head. Right. You know?

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

So I got. All right. My asshole. Safe. My brain.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Not only are they want to kill you, they can stab you too.

[Co-Host]

Sure. They're quite dangerous.

[Johnny Knoxville]

They mean animals. There's. I love them so much.

[Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

I love bulls like a kindred spirit with them.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

They're so intelligent.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

They're so smart.

[Co-Host]

Smarter than half the cast, maybe all the cast.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, all of them. You can't do the same thing to a bull twice. Like you can't fake.

[Co-Host]

Gotcha.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Fake right twice. Because if you fake right the second time, he's going to be sitting there waiting on you.

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

He's like a. He's like a middle linebacker. You've made this mistake.

[Co-Host]

Yes.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yes, I've made this mistake.

[Co-Host]

QB spy.

[Interviewer]

We gotta assume there's some premium nutshot footage in the film. Do your have cte?

[Sponsor Voice]

Probably.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Probably. But they're so tiny. Yeah.

[Co-Host]

They're evasive.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. I'm so happy about it too. Like Stevo and Ponas, they have pretty big balls and it's got to create problems.

[Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Co-Host]

I love you're taking the glass half full tank on your tiny nuts. I appreciate that. It's good for you professionally, you know.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I'm so happy about it.

[Interviewer]

What was the last thing a doctor maybe said to you about your testicular or penile health?

[Commercial Announcer]

I don't.

[Johnny Knoxville]

God, I haven't. I used to have to go see a doctor, a urologist at least two or three times a year. After I broke my penis, I had to catheter twice a day for three and a Half years.

[Interviewer]

Oh.

[Commercial Announcer]

So.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But that was a little while ago, so I don't. Luckily they don't. That my penis doesn't come up that much.

[Co-Host]

Right. It's on the mend because if it

[Johnny Knoxville]

comes up a lot, something's happening.

[Co-Host]

Okay. It's a bad sign.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, it's a bad sign. If that's the lead in conversation, no

[Interviewer]

news is good news.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yes, yes, exactly.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Interviewer]

Are you on a first name basis with a bunch of ER nurses around la?

[Johnny Knoxville]

I, I used to see them quite often, but they treat you like a celeb when you Usually I've been knocked out, so I'm not going to remember anyone.

[Interviewer]

So it's all like, Johnny's here.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

Is he in body?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yes.

[Co-Host]

Right, exactly.

[Interviewer]

Not up here.

[Co-Host]

Not in spirit.

[Interviewer]

How much do you think you've had to spend on just physical injuries in crossing money?

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, I don't know. Well, luckily I have very good insurance, so.

[Co-Host]

Yeah. What's your deductible?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Dude, I have, I don't know any of that stuff.

[Co-Host]

Is any part of you insured

[Interviewer]

your tiny balls?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, I'm gonna ensure my tiny balls after this comes out. What about for about 5 cents?

[Co-Host]

Yes.

[Interviewer]

Do you like train if. Okay, you make the decision that you're gonna do Jackass best and last and get back into the arena, you and the boys. Do you like train physically or, or mentally or you just show up to set?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Not. Well, I do exercise. I'm usually in really good shape at the beginning of the film. In terrible shape at the end. Yeah. But yeah, because it's, it's pretty. Well, it's physical.

[Co-Host]

Yeah, quite a bit.

[Interviewer]

What about like all the hanging. Offset, that's just like the way. Just all the hanging around, like off camera, that's just. I mean, how much fun is that just to get back into swinging things with the boy?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Well, for me it's fun because I know 98% of what's going down. Right. But for the, I, I imagine for the cast. Well, I know for the cast it's not much fun at all.

[Sponsor Voice]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Because they don't know when something's going to happen.

[Interviewer]

Like they might go take a shit and then the porta potty might launch into the sky.

[Johnny Knoxville]

They maybe turn blue. They may be, you know, that's got

[Co-Host]

to be the scariest part for them, right? Like it's one thing to go into a stunt, you know what the stunt is, but the, the offset, the, the

[Johnny Knoxville]

unknowing, not knowing the worst really gets to them. And by weight, two or three, their wreck. And I get it because we don't make it easy.

[Interviewer]

But as the puppet master, you're like,

[Johnny Knoxville]

yeah, rubbing your hands, and I'm always on the offense.

[Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

They. They have the opportunity to come at me if they want.

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But they've chosen not to because it's just. I think it's probably going to be worse for them, and they know it.

[Interviewer]

Who was the last person to come at you on offense?

[Sponsor Voice]

Oh.

[Interviewer]

And what did they do?

[Co-Host]

Who came at the king?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, I. Probably on Jackass 2 or 3. I can't remember. I. I screwed up. First of all, I was getting ready to do a bit and I gave my keys to producer Tripp Tail. I'm like. Because I. You don't want to. You're getting smoked by something. You don't want to fall on your keys. Minor thing.

[Co-Host]

Sure.

[Sponsor Voice]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Well, they got into my car, I didn't know it, and they put horse semen in my sunscreen. Oh. And it was a super hot day, Right?

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And I go back to the car later that day and I put on my sunscreen and it has this, like, marshmallowy type consistency. And in my head, I was like, oh, it's just hot. It must have dirt.

[Co-Host]

Of course, is normal sunscreen reaction.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And in the instant, I just made it all. Okay. And for the next eight weeks, I put that on.

[Co-Host]

How much got in your mouth?

[Johnny Knoxville]

And I didn't know it until I. Hopefully a lot I didn't know until we did a screening of it, Friends and Family screen. And they showed me that.

[Co-Host]

Oh, God.

[Johnny Knoxville]

So it was done. And bam. Who did that? And I thought it was so funny. And we're doing this thing at my.

[Ad Voice]

We.

[Johnny Knoxville]

We had a fan. It was 3D because we had a Phantom camera which shoots, I don't know how, thousands of frame a second. And I wanted Pontius to jack off on the Phantom camera. Right. Which was another whole deal.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Additional Guest]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And we went to. We couldn't find a location for it because who's going to sign up for that? So I took him to my house, and it was the first day our nanny had started working for us. So we're like, laura, don't look in the backyard. And he. He was having trouble, like, I don't know. I think we'd all taken a little too much speed that day. So he couldn't really get it going. He said he needed some lube and all I had was the sunscreen. So he's rubbing the hat with the horse semen. All Over.

[Interviewer]

That's kind of like poetic semen.

[Co-Host]

Inception.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, yeah.

[Interviewer]

You know, did he know that it was horse come?

[Johnny Knoxville]

No. No one at that point, no. Well, they did, but Pontius and I did, right? You were not the funniest thing. Because you only can only shoot in four second intervals, Right? The phantom camera.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

So it's like, Pontius, before you go, you got to give us a heads up. Yeah, yeah. Right? Because you can't just go, we're gonna miss it.

[Interviewer]

Right?

[Co-Host]

Just polite.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Anyway, so when you're getting ready to go, say Oklahoma. So I go inside to get something and I hear this great commotion. Everyone's yelling at each other, and I'm like, what the hell's going on? And I go back there. You didn't give us a heads up. You didn't give us a heads up. He's sitting there covered in his own semen.

[Interviewer]

And the horsemen.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, and the horse semen. They said he went Oklahoma.

[Co-Host]

Bad timing.

[Johnny Knoxville]

It was so good.

[Interviewer]

Does he now have a thing for horse come?

[Co-Host]

We don't kick.

[Johnny Knoxville]

You have to ask Pontius.

[Interviewer]

He's.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He's. He's the funniest. Yeah, he's.

[Interviewer]

Do we see a lot of Pontius penis in this?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, yeah.

[Interviewer]

Film.

[Co-Host]

Oh, thank God. Yeah, thank God.

[Johnny Knoxville]

It's so fun. I was asking to get naked for this one bit that I thought of while driving in that day, and I'm like, so you might get naked? No, that's fine.

[Co-Host]

Just instantly, it's just like, zero shame. You love that he, you know, body positivity, man. We're all about that.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He loves being naked.

[Interviewer]

Is that how the stunts come to you these days? You're just like, driving and just think of something. You just like.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Sometimes the best ideas are just kinds of ones that happen on the fly or you come up with driving in, like, some. A lot of things we have set up, but a lot of things, even the things we have set up, we know that we can start with this and it can go anywhere we want, which is like jazz with our attention span.

[Co-Host]

Yeah. Damn, Jack.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, it's like really like jazz. Idiotic jazz.

[Co-Host]

Jazz for morons.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, yeah.

[Interviewer]

It's the jizz. You don't.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, yeah. All that jizz.

[Interviewer]

All that jizz.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Hello. I love Bob Fosse.

[Interviewer]

Are you ever scared? Are you ever scared when you're on the. About to start a stunt when you're filming?

[Johnny Knoxville]

I'm more excited, like, the. The fear will come, like, two or three days out.

[Interviewer]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I'd be like, oh, this could happen. This could happen. But when I wake up that morning, I'm like, let's, let's. Let's go now. And I just want to get to the set and do it.

[Co-Host]

You get the spiraling, like, out of your system ahead of time. And then.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. Because you just think. Yeah. And then after that, it's like, let's go. And because I've already said I was going to do it. Fear is not helpful once you get there that day. It's actually extremely unhelpful to be scared in the moment. So you just gotta kind of never hesitate.

[Co-Host]

Yeah. Put it out of your mind.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. Because you have to really want to be there and doing that. And if you don't, we're going to pull you.

[Co-Host]

You're in the wrong line of work.

[Johnny Knoxville]

What's that?

[Co-Host]

You're in the wrong line of work.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

When was last time, maybe outside of Jackass, that you felt scared?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, I get fearful for my children or, you know, other. My. My wife some, you know.

[Interviewer]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But I.

[Interviewer]

For you, nothing.

[Co-Host]

Yeah, you're normal. For everyone else.

[Johnny Knoxville]

For you. Yeah. For me, I'm. I'm trying to, like, take that into account more.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Interviewer]

Is there. Have you ever.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But of year of suppressed, years of suppressing it and of course, you know, you're in therapy. Yeah. Yes. Yes.

[Ad Voice]

Okay.

[Interviewer]

So have you ever chickened out of doing a stunt at the last minute or like day of.

[Johnny Knoxville]

There's only one group stunt that I can remember that we just said no to. We were shooting on in Donner's Pass, and we were. It was a thing. We're going down in a bounce house down a big mountain of snow.

[Co-Host]

Great idea.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And while we're waiting around to do it, that day, someone died on a ski slope not attributed to us.

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But it freaked the cast out. Right. Just like weird vibes. And then we get up to the mountain and we see the bounce house and there's like a 700 pound generator that will be trailing behind the bounce house to keep it inflated. Yeah. And the cast were like. They just. They felt shitty about it. And were you part of that group?

[Interviewer]

Let's.

[Commercial Announcer]

Let's just.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Let's just walk away. Because the guy who supplies our Bulls, Gary LeFue, is a world champion bull rider. And when we deal with bulls from the earliest time, he's like, if anyone is on the set and they're negative, I like, I want the power to bounce them because you can't have any negativity around bulls. And that kind of got in our head. And so if someone's doing a big stunt, everyone has to be positive and psyched.

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

So that day is. We all walked away.

[Interviewer]

Do you as like, kind of the.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I didn't take it as chickening out, though.

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I was just taking it as.

[Co-Host]

Make the smart call.

[Johnny Knoxville]

One of our.

[Interviewer]

Let's not die today.

[Co-Host]

Yeah, yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Today or less. Not like you're, you know, change someone forever.

[Interviewer]

Right, Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Is.

[Interviewer]

Is your job is kind of like leader the. The number one jackass. Do you do a lot of, like, hyping up on set or getting people excited and keeping the positive vibes going?

[Johnny Knoxville]

I kind of lead in that instance. I would lead by example because I have a lot of leeway with the cast because I'll do the bigger things. Yeah, right. But the one who does the cheering up or the bullying or the befriending is Tremaine, the director.

[Co-Host]

Oh, okay. Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He can get you to do what? He doesn't have to do that with me, but the other cast, he can kind of sense what they are needing that day and. And give it to him.

[Co-Host]

So he's a master manipulator.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, the best. He started two entire bar fights in his life and just. He'll go like, you what that guy said to you. He called you whatever. Like, what? And because of just starting that small, the whole bar gets in a fight and he just walks out. Both times.

[Interviewer]

That's a director.

[Co-Host]

Yeah, truly.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Like his mom said, even when he was little, like, as soon as he would enter into the play, group chaos ensued. He just explodes. All the. The sweetness and humanity.

[Interviewer]

Jeff, what are you doing?

[Co-Host]

Yeah, it's hilarious.

[Interviewer]

Did you have. Who's the cameraman that always throws up when some. When he. Like some other is happening. Was he on this one? Well, it's like we're dry heaving.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Lance Bangs.

[Co-Host]

Yeah. Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I feel this way about two people that we shoot with, like Spike and Lance. I'm like, why do you shoot with us, Spike? Why are you still working?

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Interviewer]

What is.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Through all these years?

[Interviewer]

What does Spike say to that?

[Co-Host]

You have a Academy Award winner? Spike Jones just laughs.

[Johnny Knoxville]

You know, he loves it.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

You know, and thank God we have Spike. You know, he's been so instrumental to, you know, just getting it started and, you know, having a big set of eyes on it, so. But Lance Bangs is also wonderful. He's got a very nervous stomach. He fell down three or four times this film.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Once out of. Accidentally hit him in the. Ding ding.

[Interviewer]

Accidentally.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. And another time, he was so Bewildered by how slow poopies was being. He's like, what?

[Co-Host]

He could.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He just fell over, dropped the camera, and then the robot stink fingered him and he dropped his camera again. He's constantly dropping his camera.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

It's cost you guys a lot of money.

[Co-Host]

Butterfingers over here.

[Interviewer]

Is there one stunt that maybe never happened for whatever reason that you'll forever wish that you had performed?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, my God. Like, now I'll start tearing up because there's. We have, like, over four to 500 ideas written that are never going to be shot. And. Excuse me. And not all of them are winners. Right. But there's enough where you could shoot another one or two movies.

[Co-Host]

Wow.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But I say our white whale is. Dave England has one nut. He lost it. I forgot how. You know, it happens. Snowboarding accident.

[Interviewer]

I forget.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But we always wanted to get him a new prosthetic nut.

[Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And. And one that lights up. And ever, for the last 15 years, we've been trying to do it, and every time we get to the finish line, lawyers step in and shut it down. Because each side, everyone wants to be indemnified.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

You know, the surgeon, the person who makes the prosthetic. And I get it. I understand. So it. That one. That one breaks my heart.

[Co-Host]

Dave's electric.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Guys, I. Our special effects guy, Tony Gardner, made the night.

[Additional Guest]

Oh.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And he sent me a video of how it would look, and I don't know how it would not burn him.

[Co-Host]

Oh, God.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I'll show you guys at the end. It's. It's so bright. He put it in his cheek and

[Johnny Knoxville]

[Interviewer]

How often are lawyers ruining the party?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Not often, because we're re. What we're really good at as well is when we hear no. We can keep maneuvering around no until we find a yes.

[Co-Host]

Master pivoters, you guys.

[Ad Voice]

Yes.

[Interviewer]

It's the American way.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah.

[Co-Host]

Don't take no for an answer.

[Johnny Knoxville]

So, yeah, you can't take no for an answer. Like, I've worked on productions where no will come down from up above, and they're like, oh, they said no. I'm like, would. So, yeah, we go back to that, you know, but yeah, so many people just accept no. I can't understand it.

[Sponsor Voice]

Damn.

[Co-Host]

Is that a generational thing?

[Johnny Knoxville]

I don't know. I. No, I don't think so. I think, you know, when you're doing something creative, you're going to hear nos.

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But you just. That means not yet.

[Interviewer]

Ah. Not yet.

[Co-Host]

Not yet.

[Shannon Maldonado]

Okay.

[Interviewer]

I think with this being the last Jackass, there's obviously going to be, like a ton of nostalgia and just reminiscing. Looking back across the entire Jackass empire, is there a single moment that stands out to you is the most surreal or like, you can't believe that that happened? God, we have a lot of those

[Johnny Knoxville]

moments where you're just like, what is going on right now? I would say the biggest one, though, is that, first of all, Jackass even got on the air.

[Co-Host]

True.

[Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And people like Miracle, you know, because we were like, no one. It's not going to get on tv. You know, the pilot got shut down while we were filming.

[Interviewer]

It was appointment viewing television.

[Co-Host]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Interviewer]

When we were in high school, again,

[Co-Host]

raised the whole generation of Thursday nights on mtv.

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Was it Thursday?

[Interviewer]

Maybe Tuesdays.

[Johnny Knoxville]

It made a huge impression on Sunday.

[Interviewer]

Was it Sunday?

[Johnny Knoxville]

I don't know either way. But reruns. It did. And then it's like, well, let's do a movie. I didn't think any. We didn't think anyone was going to come. So we're, like, blown away by that. Honestly. It's something.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

We created with our friends. Can, you know, you just do something with your friends and then it becomes something.

[Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Co-Host]

Have you thought about your legacy 25 years later? Like, how you want your legacy as an entertainer to be remembered?

[Johnny Knoxville]

That's out of my hands.

[Co-Host]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I don't. I don't spend any Time on that.

[Co-Host]

Really don't hope that it might be A, B or C. Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

No, because I. I just. It's out of my control. Yeah. I just try to do things that I'm proud of. That hasn't always happened.

[Ad Voice]

Sure.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But we're aware have been a few stinkers. I don't know why you got to bring up old stuff, but yeah, you just do your work and then however it.

[Co-Host]

So you don't spend any time thinking about like. Like in the intro, an American Hero or someone whose approval rating across the board with all Americans is like 100%. You don't think about that at all?

[Johnny Knoxville]

I don't give a. About that, honestly. Yeah, I just want to work with people I like and want to be with my family, you know?

[Co-Host]

Well, yeah, one.

[Interviewer]

Speaking of like surreal moments, I think one clip that's been going around recently that I think has people surprised.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I don't want to, like, I talk about myself enough. I don't want to have to think about myself.

[Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

In my spare time.

[Co-Host]

Totally fair.

[Johnny Knoxville]

So, okay, so your legs.

[Interviewer]

No kidding. One clip that's been going around and I think has been really surprising people that haven't been tapped in for 25 years. Is that the one of Brad Pitt getting kidnapped? That's been circulating recently. How do you guys convince Brad Pitt to be in Jackass?

[Johnny Knoxville]

He was friends with Spike at the time, and I was at Spike's house and Spike and I were talking, you know, he's like, go ahead, go over and ask him. And so I went over and asked them and he said, sure.

[Co-Host]

Oh, yeah.

[Interviewer]

It's like 2000.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He was so three. 2000. One or two? I don't know. One. He was so down.

[Co-Host]

Incredible.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And I. I think he's happy just to be hanging out with regular people, you know.

[Co-Host]

That's fair.

[Interviewer]

Yeah, regular people.

[Co-Host]

Common folks.

[Interviewer]

Regular psychos.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, regular. But like he, he. The whole kidnapping them thing. Tremaine came up with that day and goes, hey, can we take you to Pinks and kidnap you? He's like, yeah. And then we were shooting with him later that night. We dressed him up as a gorilla because originally we were just going to put him in a gorilla suit and do stuff around la, like silly things as gorillas and only have him pull his gorilla mask back at the end because you have Brad Pitt and you don't even show them.

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But then Jeff had the great idea of kidnapping him and he. He's just like exactly how you want him to be. Just, I don't know.

[Co-Host]

He's.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He's been great. Every time I've ever seen him.

[Interviewer]

That's sick.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And I remember that the lady who played my wife when I was the old man, because I was doing old man stuff that day.

[Interviewer]

Yeah. Bad grandpa.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And the baddest Brad. Brad had came by the office, and we were in the kitchen talking, and Dottie brings some shrimp from home for everyone. And we're like, oh, that's so sweet. And she opens it up and, like, you know. You're not going to say no.

[Commercial Announcer]

Sure.

[Johnny Knoxville]

So we start eating the shrimp. And she had forgotten to thaw, so we were just. And we didn't say a word. We're just. Thank you. But it was really crunchy shrimp. Amazing.

[Interviewer]

Brad Pitt is just.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

We just. We kind of gave a. You know, we smiled at each other. Just ate it. I think we had two manners.

[Interviewer]

Oh, polite boys.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah.

[Co-Host]

Truly.

[Interviewer]

I mean, I think Tyler Creator was on a recent film. John Wider Waters was in an early.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

Show or episode or film. What celebrity do you think had the most fun just around with you guys? Sounds like Brad had a blast. Who else?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, I don't know who.

[Interviewer]

I would say.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I think Tyler and John Waters. I think both had fun because they weren't targeted.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

You know.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. Certain people come on, we're like, tyler got shocked. Huh?

[Interviewer]

Tyler got his ass shocked.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Tyler did. Oh, yeah. Oh, you know what? He did. Yeah. So we targeted him a little, but he's also really down.

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

So. By the way, that bench sucked.

[Interviewer]

Really?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. I sat on it and it was jarring. I don't even feel electricity that. Well, quite honestly.

[Co-Host]

You might want to get that checked out.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, but I felt that one. And. Yeah. Oh. You know who was great was Will Oldham.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Additional Guest]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But he ended up getting, I think, lightly concussed, you know?

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He. He had wanted to come on because him and his dad watched Jackass together, and his dad had passed away and he's like, well, maybe he reached out through Lance Bangs. Like, I'd like to be in Jackass 3D. And Lance Bangs is like, okay, but you have to write a song about me first.

[Co-Host]

That's fair.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And Will Oldham wrote this song about Lance, and it's so pretty. Okay. It's a short song and you would think he just throw it away, but he didn't. I listened to it the other day, like, four or five times. Grown, I got tears. Oh, wow.

[Interviewer]

Yeah, we, like, listen to it on Spotify.

[Johnny Knoxville]

No, I've never. We've never. I don't think we've ever played it for anyone.

[Co-Host]

Unreleased deep cut.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. So I know it's certain. Like, when Eric Andre came on Jeff's like, kill him. Because they had done bad trip together.

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And, you know, Eric's used to being the hammer, but it kind of switches when you come on our set.

[Co-Host]

Is there a Dream Celebrity cameo that never happened that you can share?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Dream celebrity? I.

[Sponsor Voice]

Well,

[Johnny Knoxville]

it ended up working out great. Butterbean just really delivered for us.

[Co-Host]

Absolutely.

[Johnny Knoxville]

When I fought him in the.

[Interviewer]

He made you go night night.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. That was a gnarly one.

[Co-Host]

That was great.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I. That.

[Interviewer]

I. I had. It was a really bad concussion, Few stitches, but I had vertigo for months after.

[Co-Host]

Oh, God damn, bro.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Just spinning all the time, just lying down if I drove around a curve. But initially, we reached out to Mike Tyson.

[Co-Host]

Oh, my.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But Mike Tyson at that point said no, and he would have murdered you. Yeah, Yeah. I. I mean, yeah, I think Butterbeans a big. Oh, that's him. Butterbean's a big puncher as well.

[Interviewer]

He got you pretty good.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. I mean, he couldn't have gotten me any better, so.

[Interviewer]

But he got you, and then the floor got you.

[Co-Host]

Yeah. Sweet chin music.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Tremaine told me.

[Interviewer]

He goes.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He thinks I may have hit my head on the counter going back. I can't happen so quick. But it was. It just. My head was open like a pumpkin.

[Interviewer]

But, hey, how did. How did Butterbean look?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, I know. I was talking to my wife. Is the butter bean okay? Line. I thought I'd kill them.

[Co-Host]

Iconic, man.

[Interviewer]

We'll be seeing Bam Margera in the new Jackass movie and some never before, never before seen footage. How is the relationship with Ben these days?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yes, you will be seeing Bam in the new movie and some footage you haven't seen before. Bam. We asked him to be in the new movie, and he didn't want to at this time, and we fully respect that. And unfortunately, I haven't spoken to Bam in quite a while, but I hear he's doing good, and that's.

[Co-Host]

That's all that matters.

[Johnny Knoxville]

That's all that matters, really.

[Interviewer]

It seems like he's found the joy in skating again, which is.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

Seemingly been helpful.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Right? Yeah, it's just something positive, you know, hopefully one day we can.

[Co-Host]

Right. No bad blood from the last movie, though, when he got let go.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I don't have any animosity whatsoever. I love Bam so much. I. I think maybe he's quite honestly Maybe still a little hurt. And I understand. And so

[Co-Host]

wish him the best.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

Do you think Jackass, Just like, again, with this being the last one. Do you think Jackass. Everything gets the proper amount of recognition for its place in pop culture. It's been so influential, so present and consistent. But, like, I don't know. Do you feel like you guys are.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I. I honestly, I think I revert back to the. Yeah, I don't. It is what it is. However, you know, you don't consider the influence. What's that?

[Co-Host]

You don't consider the influence that you've had.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, I can. No, I can feel the influence we've had. And I appre. And I appreciate it, but I. I don't feel we're underappreciated. Was that your question?

[Interviewer]

Kind of. I mean, I think the general sentiment is they don't make white bo. That anymore. Yeah, they really don't.

[Co-Host]

The last of a dying breed, bro.

[Interviewer]

But what was the mood like on set when you guys, like, on the last day when you wrapped? How was that? Like, what was the vibe then?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, I. I would usually kind of tear up on the way into work. On and on the last day, I think I cried at least three times. Spike's just telling me what the next setup is. He's like, all right, we're gonna have this. And I'm just start crying. He goes, why did you cry at that? Like, where did you go? What are you thinking? Yeah, I'm like, I don't know. Yeah, at the end of the day, he cried too, so.

[Interviewer]

Yeah, I'm sure there are a lot of tears at the end.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, it's. It's 26 years of, like, something you've been doing with your buddies. And it. It's silly, but it means a lot to us.

[Interviewer]

What do you guys like to do when you're not, like, putting yourself through physical and mental punishments? You, like, play pickleball or just like.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I. I don't like to leave the house that much.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Honestly, I work and go to my kids games.

[Interviewer]

Dude, your son is a phenom.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, thank you. Yeah, he's. He's having a good season, so I'm excited.

[Interviewer]

Shout out the wages.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Just a sophomore, so.

[Co-Host]

Okay. A lot of potential. Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

So that's the only thing I was ever decent at, so. Really makes me.

[Interviewer]

What position were you?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Picture.

[Co-Host]

Picture. Yeah, yeah, it's in your Instagram bio still, right, I think.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. That's how I think of myself.

[Interviewer]

Shout out the wagins. Well, speaking of, like, kind of the next generation, like, do kids yell at you on the street when you are out of the house?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Well, it's changed over the years.

[Interviewer]

What did it used to be and what is it now? Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

When Jackass first came out, like, guys would want to fight, girls would come up and put cigarettes out on me or on my arm, my face, without asking. No, no, they just, they think I like it.

[Interviewer]

Is that how you got the whole cardigan?

[Johnny Knoxville]

And with, with, with. If guys come up and want to fight, as long as they're talking, I would walk. But if they put their hands on me. So I got in a lot of fights.

[Co-Host]

Jesus.

[Johnny Knoxville]

We're promoting the movie in Europe, the first movie. And I got three fights in the first three days. But sometimes I. But girls will come up. Oh, I love what you do. And punch me right in the face.

[Interviewer]

Jesus Christ.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. And with girls, you're like, yeah, she's

[Interviewer]

like walking with a cup on in case they, like, nutshell kicked you.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But that doesn't happen now. I'm like, right. A father type figure. And they just. Everyone's very nice.

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Co-Host]

The audience kind of grew up with you guys as well.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Miss the punches and the cigarettes.

[Co-Host]

Right. But people just assumed you were a glutton for punishment. They would physically assault you.

[Johnny Knoxville]

They, I guess they thought that I. I liked it. And the guys felt. I think, oh, what, what's he doing here?

[Interviewer]

He's not.

[Johnny Knoxville]

So he's talking to these girls and was it just. I think they thought I was, I. I was a tough guy. I'm not saying tough guys. Right. I'm not. If you want to prove you're tough, go fight someone who can fight.

[Commercial Announcer]

Sure.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, I'll fight. You probably lose. Yeah, go fight Butterball.

[Interviewer]

Go fight Butterbean.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, go fight Butterbean. You want to prove you're tough?

[Interviewer]

Yeah. Did that happen to just you, or was every member of J.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Mostly me? Mostly me.

[Interviewer]

Really? What was, like, Steve, what was Stevo getting

[Johnny Knoxville]

drugs left and right. He was, he was, he was really going for it.

[Co-Host]

Truly. Yeah.

[Interviewer]

I mean that.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Be careful how you choose your heroes.

[Co-Host]

That's right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I'll tell you that. Yeah.

[Co-Host]

But heavy is the head that wears a crown. I mean, as like we said, number one Jackass, people are going to want to punch you in the face when they see you in public.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I didn't, I didn't really. He's fine.

[Interviewer]

Johnny, when was the last time you were truly grossed out?

[Johnny Knoxville]

You know what? I, I really. My wife and I, we love to watch terrible movies and terrible television. And I recently discovered that I don't like watching people kiss on camera.

[Interviewer]

Really?

[Johnny Knoxville]

I'm just like, what the are they doing? I don't know why? It just.

[Co-Host]

That's what grosses you out.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, why?

[Interviewer]

I just.

[Co-Host]

Stop your eyes.

[Interviewer]

Yeah, Like. Like actors and, like.

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

Just.

[Johnny Knoxville]

No, it's mostly not in movies, but, like, reality.

[Interviewer]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Maybe it's the people that. On these gross shows we're watching and

[Interviewer]

these, like, love is blind.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't kiss. That's what grosses me.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Interviewer]

The way that rake Yoan hates mustard. Is there any.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He hates it.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

Is there anything that absolutely.

[Co-Host]

You just.

[Interviewer]

Just despise?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Not like that.

[Co-Host]

That's a high bar.

[Interviewer]

Why does he hate mustard so much?

[Johnny Knoxville]

I don't know. It's a. It's a. He has a violent reaction to it.

[Co-Host]

It's awesome. For anyone who hasn't seen it, look it up.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I love breaks. Great chemist.

[Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Just hates mustard.

[Interviewer]

These bad movies and, like, bad reality tv. Is that how you, like, relax and, like.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

Spend, like, me time or, like.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, yeah. Take our junkyard dog for a walk.

[Interviewer]

Nice. When you were. I don't know if you watch love on the spectrum, but when you were filming the ringer, how many takes did you do for the. When the. Did we get ice cream scene, which is another classic that's been circulating recently.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. We had to, unfortunately do a lot of takes because I kept blowing it. Even because Jeffrey Aaron did it once, and I immediately broke character and started dying laughing. And then, you know it's coming.

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I mean, if I was a professional, I could have kept a straight face. But it was a uniquely funny improv line, and I can't remember doing that over another right line like that.

[Interviewer]

And that was the. The one that made the final cut. That was the best take.

[Johnny Knoxville]

I have no idea what is the last. I probably blew that. Blew it in that one.

[Interviewer]

No, you did.

[Johnny Knoxville]

You did.

[Co-Host]

Yeah. Yeah, that's.

[Johnny Knoxville]

There's a.

[Interviewer]

You're clearly just like. That's.

[Co-Host]

That's the joke. When's the last time you watched the ringer? Or how often do you watch that?

[Johnny Knoxville]

God, I haven't watched it in a long time. I usually don't go back and watch my movies included jackass clips. Not ever on my own. But idiots in L. A. Did you know they screen jackass number two, the first Jackass? So I would go watch it then, but never on my own.

[Co-Host]

What's that like for you.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But that. That's not true. Because my son had never seen them. Oh, man. Because I. I don't want him to do the stuff that I do and

[Interviewer]

stunts performed by professionals or under the super.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Real pro. So I showed him the movies recently. He was like, 14.

[Co-Host]

What he think was his review?

[Johnny Knoxville]

No, he.

[Additional Guest]

He was.

[Interviewer]

He.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He was. He was into it. He liked it. So. But yeah, I was just thinking of the professionals thing.

[Interviewer]

Were you, like, why are you laughing extra hard when your dad gets hurt?

[Co-Host]

Like, what the.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, it's weird. Like, I don't know what goes through their mind when they see that.

[Interviewer]

Okay, what are the. Sorry. Go back to the professionals that are supervising said stunts. What are these?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Well, Manny Puig.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

Are gonna.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Tarzan. Yeah, he's Tarzan. Yeah. When we work with alligators, we have Manny there because he dives into swamps at night with the miners light on and brings them up to the surface. So we were getting ready to do this stunt with Steve O With alligators and having a safety meeting. We have safety meetings because movie. And how do those do those things? People paying attention, you know, are you

[Interviewer]

in the back of class just snoozing?

[Johnny Knoxville]

But Manny's like. We're like, okay, what's. What's the safety precautions? Well, we're going to shoot with Steve O and the alligator, and if the alligator bites Steve O, hopefully he will let go. And we're like, anything else sounds good. Okay, well, let's shoot.

[Co-Host]

Those are the professionals.

[Johnny Knoxville]

We're dealing with the professionals. You need.

[Co-Host]

Hey. Better than nothing, I guess.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. Manny's. Manny's amazing.

[Interviewer]

Speaking of Stevo is his. Like, I have to imagine in the earlier years, he was kind of up when he was, like, doing stunts and. And now.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Kind of up. We would never. If anyone was doing a stunt, we never let them get up before the dude is stunned.

[Interviewer]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Because, like, there's a lot.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

That could go wrong.

[Interviewer]

Sure.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And we don't want to bring that.

[Co-Host]

It's a recipe for disaster.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But I'm not saying that the guys watching the stunt weren't up,

[Interviewer]

but now that he's sober, is he. Like. It's just the same pro. He brings the same process. Just doing. He's just doing.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, yeah.

[Co-Host]

No, he.

[Johnny Knoxville]

You know, because I think when he got sober, it was, well, can I. Will I still be able to do the things I did before?

[Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And I think anyone who gets sober, whether it's stunts or you're writing music or whatever you were doing before, like, will I still be able to do that. And it's not. You'll still be able to do that. It's like you were able to do that despite the amount of drugs and alcohol you were doing. Sure. So it's not going to go away.

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And he found that out.

[Interviewer]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He can.

[Co-Host]

Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

And I think he kind of went for it more because he wanted to prove to himself that and I'm sure

[Interviewer]

the world, too, he had someone to prove. Right.

[Johnny Knoxville]

What's that?

[Interviewer]

I'm sure he had to prove something to the world. He's like, look, I'm sober, but I

[Johnny Knoxville]

could still go, well, crazy.

[Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But I think he wanted to prove more to himself. Right. Because you've kind of fragile after you come out of something like that.

[Interviewer]

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

[Johnny Knoxville]

But I mean, holy. Like standing in front of a bull or whatever. But like the bravery he shows just every day.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Waking up. He has to face that dragon every day. And he has defeated that dragon for over 15 years. It's amazing.

[Interviewer]

Beast, who do you. Who in the cast do you think has the biggest balls? Not literally, like Pontius or Steel.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh. Oh, you took my answer.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Oh, I don't know. I. I don't know. Everyone's had their moments, but that's not for me to say.

[Co-Host]

Or judge bravery across the board.

[Interviewer]

We'll do a ball check.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

At the premiere. Well, Johnny, we are a fashion podcast. So the question is, would you rather wear only Wee Man's clothes or only Preston's clothes?

[Johnny Knoxville]

I think it would be funnier in Wee Man's clothes.

[Co-Host]

You're thinking about the bit.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Co-Host]

Not the practicality.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we man also has that humongous hammy ass, so. I mean, you've seen his naked ass, right? Yeah, yeah, I'm. It's a marvel. I can't even wrap my head around it.

[Co-Host]

Literally.

[Johnny Knoxville]

It's the biggest media's ass.

[Interviewer]

Yeah. That's how he gets. He. That's how he gets so much pop when he's.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, he's a real jumper.

[Co-Host]

Yeah, yeah.

[Interviewer]

Have you ever spent time driving around with him in his. Is he still living the van life?

[Johnny Knoxville]

No, no, he's got a place now.

[Interviewer]

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

He's like. He's beloved.

[Co-Host]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

[Interviewer]

The goat.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah.

[Interviewer]

Living legend now, it seems like, you know, you're pretty good. You're Pretty set. But maybe in your earlier days, your youth. What was the brokest behavior that you had to indulge in when you were still finding your way in this world?

[Johnny Knoxville]

The brokest behavior? I had my meals down to pretty cheap.

[Sponsor Voice]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

You know, a cheap way of eating.

[Co-Host]

What are we talking about?

[Johnny Knoxville]

For like over three or four years, I'd eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

[Co-Host]

What was that?

[Johnny Knoxville]

A brand muffin for breakfast and a banana. Lunch was a sandwich. Just this at this store I would go to. And then dinner was a baked potato with tuna and these little two microwave things. Microwave thing of broccoli and corn.

[Interviewer]

Oh, like gas station cuisine.

[Johnny Knoxville]

No, I got it from the. This supermarket.

[Interviewer]

Okay.

[Co-Host]

But it's a bounce diet right there.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah.

[Co-Host]

Everything.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Every single day, fiber for three water, three or four years. I still. I'm still a creature habit, I guess, with my socks, shoes, underpants.

[Co-Host]

Yeah.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Stickies overall look.

[Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Co-Host]

Is that just taking guesswork out of what was a chaotic life?

[Johnny Knoxville]

I guess it's just one less thing to think about.

[Interviewer]

Do you miss that meal? Like, would you have it today?

[Johnny Knoxville]

I would, yeah. It.

[Commercial Announcer]

What?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Doesn't gross me out.

[Co-Host]

Okay.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Maybe I'll go back to it.

[Interviewer]

Maybe next three years.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, I'll show me.

[Interviewer]

Is there anything. Okay, now, like, you're good, right? We're good. But is there anything you still refuse to spend a lot of money on just out of prison?

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah, I don't like besides shoes size shoes and your clothes?

[Ad Voice]

[Johnny Knoxville]

Yeah. I'm not the expensive watch guy or the expensive car guy.

[Co-Host]

I humble. A humble genius.

[Johnny Knoxville]

No, a humble genius.

[Co-Host]

Yes. That's what. That's my perception.

[Johnny Knoxville]

Seriously? Yeah, I just, I, you know, I'm sure I spend money on. Well, I know I spend money on a lot of silly things like hobbies.

[Interviewer]

Like, what were your hobbies outside of. Outside of work?
