Yeah fair enough. Where are you right now? I'm at home with my two dogs in Glendale, California. Oh, I like Glendale. It's very beautiful little air Are you still living Burbank? Not too far. I'm cool, man. I hear you have Canadian roots I think my mom is born in Canada. My dad was born in America So I'm triple national crazy and you lived here for a little while I did I lived in in Toronto from 87 and 88 crazy man. Well, let's let's get into this. Let's talk about the film

0:51Sure. Yeah, actually one other thing my mom and my mom went to high school with Tom Greens mom No way. Yeah, and I think Barry Ontario. That's nuts. Do you and Tom ever crossed past you must have at this point? Yeah, we're good buddies crazy. Yeah He's doing really well these days too. What's he up to he's he's still doing that talk show to his house not the talk show His house. He's doing a headlining Comedy tour he's he's he's got some stage and does an hour of stand-up comedy and he's absolutely hysterical I'm sure man, and you got you kind of did like a stand-up kind of thing to didn't you for? I I did a what was I called it don't try to set a home tour right and I'd try to lot with that, but I understand up comedy like four years ago recently

1:41What do you talk about? What's your act like is a pot of coal like what do you what are you talking about? You know it's there's a lot of stories related to my experience as a premature ejaculator Just like the ridiculous eat you know premature ejaculating occurs repeatedly You know it's really kind of just about how life changes once you get a little bit of notoriety and stuff And it's just so funny crazy But just share the ridiculousness Well, I mean, yeah, I'm sure people want to hear the jackass stories behind the scenes stuff right yeah, which is great too because

2:33I'm working on a book as well. Oh really yeah like an autobiography kind of thing exactly that cool When when can we read it when when are you thinking at least? I'm released in next year cool. Yeah, I believe June 7 is what we're shooting Well, hopefully the DVD release of this 3d phone comes out around the same time to give you a little publicity. Oh, okay The last time around we did a jackass 2.5 right How long do you guys shoot for like how long does it take to do a two hour film six months? Six months and how often do you guys like is it it can't be day every single day as a new stunt

3:20I will shoot and then and then take two weeks off to heal and I heard it was it was your first time doing it straight like completely so yeah Congratulations for one. Yeah. Thank you man. I've been cleaning sober for over two and a half years now and This was yeah my first sober didn't help do I mean like didn't know what being sober didn't make it easier To to do the kind of stuff I need to do for jackass right But the important pussy

4:07like They know I was really a major thing I'm in these situations like you know I was like that dynamic first too and like I was so to participate in as much stuff as I could that So that's cool. Yeah, it's been really great for me and like what a blessing to be able to work with all of these guys

4:53And and be like an improvement and all rested and easy to get along with and eager over the years For me to be able to do this. Do you write your own stunts like how does an idea come to fruition? There are different ways that ideas come to fruition like we'll have actual like Organized meetings where we get in a room when we throw around ideas You know as we like the kid carry on about our merry way like something might come to us and wouldn't generate like text conversations about it or write up emails I got an idea at a dream where in my dream

5:44on the set and they were drawing a dartboard onto my face with with a sharpie marker and I Woke up from the stream thinking oh man. We we have to make a dartboard out of my face I You know, I don't many good reasons not to do that like I couldn't like I Couldn't think of any the made me not want to do it So I remember going into the office and talking to Knoxville I told him about my dream and Knoxville's response was I applaud your commitment, but that Too dark even for us When the director came in to the office I ran it by him and of course our evil director says

6:37But we could have a bit there with the lawyers You know, we all kind of collaborated on it Knoxville said well, I'm looking for a guy who you know blow stuff You know, they like control a bunch of air into his butt who could like hold a blow dart gun and shoot darts It's basically fart darts is what we called it and everybody was so excited about that because it wasn't imitable And it was like it's kind of goofy like and gnarly. Oh, yeah, that was a 3d that was day one

7:27crazy and we have this guy Playing a trumpet with his ass we had I mean this guy could really blow with his ass Like he was playing trumpet, you know, there's little party things we blow on it in the paper on roll Oh, yeah, yeah, like he was you know, we're like saying that yeah, let's party You know like this guy's blowing those things with a 3d a monitor put on the glasses and see it in 3d Oh, that's cool. I know that yeah like a lot of these movies like posture the Titans You know like so many of these movies that are called 3d are really shot in 2d and then just kind of tinkered with some Right. That's how I thought it worked. Yeah. Yeah, no we like a 3d camera has like two lenses

8:14So it's got like different like depth, you know, right? But so yeah, we actually shot it in 3d so the 3d looks like so much better than than a lot of these movies out there and That's the first thing I saw in day one was this like little party thing that the paper that unrolls when he blow into it, you know the little party and It's just for the shot of this guy's butt and he blows it with his butt and the paper thing unrolled is right out at you Like when I saw that on the very first day. I knew that we were really onto something That's cool. You mentioned something interesting though about the kids and imitating You guys must get a lot of slack for that. You know, I mean back when we were making a television series

9:00When Jack us was just a show on television We ran into with You know like his kids kids can watch and then kids were starting to and the We tend to us but there was just a sense of liability and They started coming down on us and trying to tell us what we couldn't couldn't do and introducing all of these new rules that The you know, whatever ring down Knoxville abruptly quit Because they were coming down on us and he said I'm not gonna do a watered-down version of Jackass to appease the lawyers

9:47Like I've read before I water it down. I'm gonna call it quits entirely and we were okay guys We're kind of sitting around taking like saying like what like what and they already had the idea that that it was so popular that and you know, they wanted to make movies and That it's like thankful because You know, that's a word that gets thrown or imitable and

10:39You know, I don't know how it works and to be honest I think it's really more just paranoia than there's no like hard and fast rule for anything, you know The amazing like some things they let us do like I can't even believe it and some things they don't want us to do like Sorry, go ahead generally as a rule The goofier and more outlandish The more entertaining it is anyway and so the less imitable You you gave us that a little sneak peek nut first stone in the movie But is that your favorite one or do you have one that you just can't wait for people to say? It turned out the actual fart dart like hitting my face Is it didn't even make the movie it's in that's in 3.5. Oh, okay?

11:25and that's you know, it like kind of like second degree burns like what she can my you know, and that like this from what we call the fire gauntlet and I can't wait to see that that sounds fun. Yeah, and that didn't make the movie either like that's in 3.5 There's another thing where we've fired a high-power BB rifle We shot a BB straight through my nipple Oh From the side and did all this like horrible damage to my nipple and with the BB lodged in it and and broke my

12:22Like how you guys laugh about that kind of stuff? Yeah, yeah, I've been having this trick where like you look sneak up behind you the boxing glove on one hand and glass water And the other one feel throw a glass of water on your face real fast and punch you with the other hand So that it's called the rocky so like the as you know, and we've filled with cameras that shoot 1,000 frames per second and they're called phantom cameras right like in slow emotion you can just see all this crazy stuff like, you know, like the way that the Step that you're I would never notice, you know, like just really it's crazy when you see you get punched in the face And all the water like spraying like the sweat and the rocky movie Well, Bam pulled his rocky trick on me as I was standing there with my nipple gushing blood and

13:12And he just straight punched my nose like way over to the side of my face. That's fantastic And yeah, so I went to the show up at the hospital with broken nose and a BB and my nipple and And that didn't make them here either. That's in 3.5 as well. Well, well now people are gonna be excited for two films It's awesome right right. Yeah, it's good man. It's definitely good, but um, like you know like I said man I wanted to be involved in as much stuff as I could and I I got plenty of footage that did make this 3d You know that plenty of footage will be in theaters and a whole bunch more in 3.5 and It's all like, you know, that's the kind of we spent six months shooting so then you know

14:03We really get two movies out of it, you know, like the cream of the crop goes into theaters and and everything else is That's awesome we do this thing on the show called five questions just five quick questions one word answers Lenny or McCartney BAM or Pawnius Pawnius Stunt you were most scared of Stunt you're most proud of Fair enough and one word Steve-o With um

14:53Cool man, well, thanks so much for calling in I appreciate it. Yeah, I understand this is for the radio right it is for the radio up in Canada so like I had something that uh that You know, we would cover this because I feel really passionate about this and so does my dad who I Have so much respect for have no Possession that I treasure and value more than my Canadian passport I really want to be on the on the record of saying this I think that the future For America is so to Canadian people because I feel like I'm gloating to talk to Americans

15:47Like America is just screwed, you know, like what we've done with that, you know, like like our debt the The national debt is so out of control and rather than improving it or doing it in a fix it It's exponentially getting worse You know with the militarily the disaster the Disaster situation we're in I mean people don't even have this this Iraq situation is Yeah, it's like I mean I just feel like like the America the days are so expensive You're choosing a really expensive city, too, right, right?

16:33I you know, I thought but yeah, like I just like you know I just want to put it out there that I really think Canada is Is to live there like very soon out here. I can no longer really get away with You know, I wouldn't be surprised if I'm trying to get away with being an asshole Canada Fair enough we could use a few up here. Yeah for sure But anyway, it's a real pleasure to do this interview and and thanks so much. Yeah, thank you Steve take it easy You're doing stand-up. Is it stand up like joke telling or is it storytelling or what is your own story? Yeah, mostly stories, you know, and there's a lot of jokes worked into the stories that

17:30Yes, I'm sure your life has been quite insane the past few years Yeah, yeah, I got that going for me man like I like I find myself Really like I can't even believe in myself though, and I'm are there ever time That you're telling a story and and you're just telling the story But you've actually forgotten what has happened because you were so, you know, hi at the time or whatever I'm not not too clear on some stuff. You know, like I want in the beginning. I'll talk. I'll talk about like how ridiculous how ridiculous the the need was you know, and Like I talked about how

18:18You when Johnny Knoxville came prevention, you know, like but the thing about the Wow like It is just like a lot of really ridiculous stuff man, and I do a set of comedy and then I do I Oh cool. Yeah, I was gonna ask if you were still able to do that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah I'm pretty sure that I'll be I'll be setting myself on fire and Teaching everybody how to drink for free for the rest of their life the best bar trick in the world Oh, yeah, and yeah, man's a big deal. That's like my favorite part of the show. I might be it

19:03I think that everybody's favorite part. How could it not be if you're you know, we Canadians like like our drink up here Right, right, right. I know yeah, but you like very good during the the during the the tricks and stunt set like There's like there's there's clever and and impressive. There's scary and dangerous There's silly and painful and there's just over the top Can't say that but I'll be put out it's fine. Yeah, man. It's a lot of fun, man And I'm really like I've been I've been at it non-stop since since November. So oh wow what to do with this and what doesn't work You know yeah, I talked to a lot of bands right and they always say by show number three

19:51That's when they feel they've hit their stride so you must be well into it now and like how just they have a perfect set down Yeah, I typically I do five or six shows per weekend Wow and I'm in a different city every week Yeah, literally since November man like I say that I've been to but it's a long ass Yeah, fair enough and it continues all the way to September to from what I was reading on your right Gone all year right. Yeah, so it's pretty cool man like in the beginning when I when I first started doing it I was first and I do like a little bit of comedy and then I'd introduce like a comic and then I Would like come out again and do a little bit more comedy and choose another guy

20:38I would have like up to like four guys in the beginning and it was more like I was like hosting the night So and then gradually like I've just like I'm like there I'll be like an Mc starts out does like I don't know like 10 minutes or so and then a feature guy I'll do like 20 minutes and then I'll go for a whole hour Is this something you want to do like is this gonna be what you do now is this uh your life? I don't know man You know like I'll tell you I'm having a blast with it. You know it sounds like yeah Really like you know a lot of people the consensus that I get is that nobody and then they're like holy crap Dude like that comedy was actually really good, you know

21:24and I half years ago. Yeah, I think we talked about that last time a little bit right Yeah, someone invited me to come do like a crazy stunt at the California and I showed up and I looked around I thought you know there's just nothing I could do that would be crazier than to get on that stage and try to stand up And so that was my first time doing stand-up comedy was four and a half years ago It didn't work the first time did you bomb first time I did pretty good man I showed up like not even knowing what I was doing what the plan was and I walked in I decided I was what I was gonna do and I was sitting around waiting for it to become my turn And I just thought up like man like what would I say to make people laugh and I just came up with a few things

22:11I wasn't on stage for very long, you know just a few minutes But the stuff that I threw out there actually got laughs and I got hooked pretty much right away And here that's what it is. That's where people laugh and you're in and you can't get out Right and then I guess it was like I don't know last August maybe September I met and I met Dane Cook and I told him that I really wanted to get like like serious about it and buckle down and really like do than do that and He said man like I'll put you up on you know, I'll get you up on the you know You just said next week at dawn We just picked a day and I was like oh man And I sent out whole week just writing and writing and writing and like I had like four different comics come over at different Times to like go through what I'd written and like tweak it out

22:59I went like night after night to the to the open mic and I worked it out and then when the night came I went on stage Like I mean like a couple comics after Sarah Silverman and immediately before Dane Cook Dane Cook after after his set and he and he told me I'm not sending you back to the drawing for it Which was like a big deal, you know, yeah Like he said you got to work on your timing and your delivery, but like your materials there It's good stuff that you're doing so so so yeah, we're off to a good start From that night I started I was in comedy clubs every night man like I remember like Then the second night It just so happened Dane Cook was at the last factory and I went on then he went on and then we sat down and he said

23:45It's good to see it's good that you're like, you know, because I was like kind of stressed like if I forgot like one thing It would throw off like everything You know because it wasn't like a bunch of separate jokes. It was like the whole thing that's So I was like all like really like kind of stressed out the first night and my member my second night My goal was to like relax be comfortable and like and then Dane Cook told me he said okay It's good that you're relaxing But like don't relax too much because you're coming off lethargic, you know, you said remember you said remember you're performing man Like this has got to be an amplified version of you So don't like don't like relax too much because then people will get the impression They'll think that you don't you don't want even want to be there, you know like and and then like remember the third night again Dane Cook was there and he sat down and his notes on that third night

24:32He was like okay, man You said but don't let yourself get locked into a way that you feel like you have to tell the joke, you know Like don't be up there like like like you're doing a routine. You know really like like you know You got to be more conversationally said, you know like consider this like you're hanging out the crowd You're you're having a conversation with them and so from that I really like you know So helpful man and like to have like Dane Cook He's like the biggest comic out there. Yeah, and have him like really take me under his wing was like a big deal You know like so yeah, I've taken real seriously man And like I have like you know I've been doing enough of these shows I'm figuring out what works and and I know that like To get to do the comedy set and have like people really like laughing and have them with me and

25:21And then they let him know okay like now. I'm gonna do all this other stuff that you guys already know me for two, you know Let's say if there's if there's a second show until I've taken a picture with literally every person in the crowd that want You know it gets it gets pretty hectic, you know, but like it's important for me to do that because You know, I know it helps me to do the pictures with with everybody and like also I don't know it. I just feel like I established myself in this, you know, and Like it's great. Well, we got like well, you know right riding on the heels of this huge Jack S3D movie
