1:37 Speaker 04 Welcome back to Artists on Artists on Artists on Artists. This week on the show, we have another writer's room, and it's not just any writer's room. It's the writers of Jackass.
1:46 Speaker 05 Jackass is the famed series in which men, and recently some women, will put themselves through physical pain in the name of pranks and good fun.
1:58 Speaker 06 It isn't all just throwing honey on people and putting them in bear cages, though. There's a lot of other stuff that goes into exactly how to turn these stunts into the blockbuster smashes you see on your screen. So get ready to pants the camera and tase your best friend. Let's listen in.
2:22 Speaker 03 Yeah, the slingshot, the slingshot was about elastic wise, it was, I'd say, um, four pushes per second. I have to disagree. I have to disagree. I have to disagree and I'm sorry. Four pushes, you know? Well, when I was testing it, it got about six to seven a second, and I think it's because the torque that we had was different. The downward velocity was very different than the wind. We were trying it in the canyon. Is that V1 or V2? I was on V2.
2:46 Speaker 05 Well, that's interesting because the V3 team ended up taking in a lot of wind calculations that I think were perhaps missed in V1 and V2.
2:55 Speaker 03 I think that's very interesting, but I do think we looked at wind calculations. As I mentioned, velocity.
2:59 Speaker 06 Well, V4, actually, just to jump in here, V4, we had torque, kind of like, I felt like all the teams had kind of forgotten about the torque of the whole thing. So like the pull, the actual friction created.
3:09 Speaker 03 No, no, no, we had a torque meeting. We had a torque meeting. If you look back, I mean, I've mentioned torque. If you, if you play the video back, do we have playback here?
3:15 Speaker 06 Yeah, we can, we can play it.
3:16 Speaker 05 Can you play, can you play Beehive in Dick, uh, V4?
3:21 Speaker 06 Uh, here we go.
3:22 Speaker 03 All right, let's watch it.
3:27 Speaker 03 There's a torque, you see? Yeah, I saw the torque. There's a torque.
3:29 Speaker 06 Yeah, you could see the torque, but it wasn't talked about, is what I'm saying. It's like I was, the V4 team was the one that brought up kind of like the torque of it, you know, like.
3:38 Speaker 03 I, I'm just saying, what we were doing, we were putting a beehive inside a dick. It was fascinating, wonderful stuff, and honestly, a medical marvel that we did that.
3:46 Speaker 06 Yeah, and to be honest, I guess torque doesn't really matter for.
3:50 Speaker 03 Torque doesn't matter. I was like, oh, we're talking about the beehive. It matters to the balls, and we talked about this in our testing. We workshop everything, and when we workshopped it, when we brought in those doctors to say, can we open up balls and put that in there? We did figure out that torque is a part of the conversation, and this is why we test these things, right?
4:06 Speaker 05 Torque is a part of the conversation.
4:07 Speaker 06 That felt more like testicular torsion, you know, it was very, it was different.
4:11 Speaker 03 Torsion is very different than torque.
4:12 Speaker 06 Yeah, torsion is the twisting of the ball, you know, and torque is the actual friction created when the ball is flying through.
4:20 Speaker 03 And I'm not a doctor, I won't speak about torsion. I won't speak about torque.
4:23 Speaker 05 No, no, we have a special testicular torque doctor who comes in and consults on these things. I would never overstep.
4:30 Speaker 03 And we have, and honestly, we've never done an interview like this, so we should be really clear, we should be like really clear. Yeah, actually, let's go. When we say twerk, torque, it's usually rope or elastic or something we're dealing with. Dork is the way we can manipulate the dick and balls. And I also want to be very clear, you did mention twerk just now, and that is a whole other department.
4:47 Speaker 06 It's a whole nother thing.
4:47 Speaker 05 That's a different department as well.
4:48 Speaker 03 And that's just kind of making, um... Bad Grandma, or whatever her name is. Yeah, Bad Grandpa. Bad Grandpa.
4:54 Speaker 06 Whatever her name is.
4:56 Speaker 03 Sorry, I'm a physicist.
4:58 Speaker 05 We are all, no, and then this is it, and just to bring the people in, because I, I, I think it's very special to be behind the scenes like this, in front of the scenes, of course.
5:08 Speaker 03 What a privilege for you.
5:09 Speaker 05 No, we are, of course, the writers' room for Jackass, and we have been, you know, devising these stunts, these pranks, for years and years and years and years, ever since the very beginning, and we have been in rigorous testing in the lab for these things. I don't think that people are aware of how much testing and calculations and really, science and math goes into this.
5:37 Speaker 06 People just think it's just like, oh, like, guys just thinking of a stupid idea to do with their friend. No, these are hypotheses proposed and run through, very scientific. They don't do it until it's the final stunt. We are all testing it out in the back labs, but once it goes through, when you see that final product, it has been worked on at workshop for maybe months and months and months. Less of a writers' room, more of an engineer's kind of wet dream, if you will.
6:05 Speaker 03 But it takes the engineer to kind of rewrite it, almost, you know, like I'd say that, like, in the Sistine Chapel, when they said, "Let's paint the ceiling," we're the latter.
6:13 Speaker 06 We're the latter.
6:14 Speaker 03 We're the latter. Well, because what they began to realize, the guys at Jackass, and we love these guys.
6:19 Speaker 06 I love them.
6:20 Speaker 03 We love these guys.
6:21 Speaker 06 Steve-O, Wee Man.
6:23 Speaker 03 They're original thinkers. Well, you see, not so much Bam anymore.
6:28 Speaker 06 Not, he's not very much involved, and we wish him a speedy recovery.
6:34 Speaker 03 Genuinely, they all mix up to me, so.
6:36 Speaker 06 Johnny Knox.
6:38 Speaker 03 I mean Johnny. Johnny. Chris Pontius, the one and only. Come on.
6:41 Speaker 06 Oh, I love Chris.
6:41 Speaker 05 Of course, of course.
6:42 Speaker 06 Wild man himself.
6:43 Speaker 03 And some of the girls that come in, they're funny, huh?
6:46 Speaker 06 Some of the girls.
6:47 Speaker 05 Yes, I, I, I think we all recall the movie from a few years ago, and she did a great job.
6:52 Speaker 03 She did a great job.
6:54 Speaker 06 The movie did a great job.
6:56 Speaker 05 The movie did a great job.
6:57 Speaker 03 It's very exciting, because we began to realize, when you're working in a Jackass franchise, that...
7:04 Speaker 03 The writing is really ad libs for the actors. And they still had a writing budget. So they said, let's throw that into science. So we came in, I'm technically a writer. The only writer with a PhD in physics. Very funny. But yeah, I get a writer's salary to do real experiments every day. And it's so fun and it's so exciting. It was weird when we went on the writer's strike. I felt like, that's not our. Yeah.
7:29 Speaker 05 Yeah, I mean, we'll, we'll do it.
7:31 Speaker 03 Happy to march, happy to march. They really were grateful for our pick. Remember my sign, my picket sign that spun?
7:37 Speaker 06 Yeah.
7:37 Speaker 03 And did fireworks?
7:38 Speaker 06 It's shooting fireworks at the building. That was crazy.
7:41 Speaker 05 I liked your ass slapping picket sign.
7:44 Speaker 03 That was really good.
7:44 Speaker 05 That would go, AI, no AI on this side. And then it would slap the ass of the person behind it.
7:49 Speaker 03 Where's our residuals? Suck my dick. I accidentally slapped Lou Diamond Phillips's ass. Ah. But it would happen to anybody. Oh, we're writer, we're writers and we, and we work really hard. We work in Chatsworth in an old Red Bull factory that they've converted into a laboratory. Thank God, we share a space with Acura. Thank God we share a space with Acura.
8:10 Speaker 06 God, we share a space with the car company Acura.
8:13 Speaker 05 We share a space with the car company Acura.
8:14 Speaker 03 They saved our ass. You know those commercials that they, they performatively will show you like a crash dummy? Like video? We use that room with, we share a space. That's the room we use with Acura.
8:26 Speaker 05 And us have been such wonderful collaborators and we found that, you know, it's expensive to purchase crash test dummies. I think that people are not aware that the reason cars are so expensive is that the crash test dummies are, it costs a lot to make.
8:42 Speaker 06 That's actually the price of a car. You'd think it's all the like, the computer and technologies. The crash dummy is one of the most expensive things on the planet earth.
8:49 Speaker 03 And we want to say this.
8:50 Speaker 06 It's rare, it's a rare metal.
8:52 Speaker 05 It's a rare metal.
8:54 Speaker 03 Monopolies are illegal. And the one company that makes crash test dummies, you guys are crooks.
9:00 Speaker 06 Yeah.
9:00 Speaker 03 You guys are liars. You guys are monsters.
9:03 Speaker 06 Dummy Thick TM.
9:05 Speaker 03 Dummy Thick TM.
9:06 Speaker 06 You gotta be broken up and we're gonna take your, we're gonna take your dummy ass to court.
9:10 Speaker 03 How do you sleep at night, Dummy Thick TM?
9:13 Speaker 05 Dummy Thick, you need to get a spine. Though your dolls don't have one, I would hope the people who design you have a moral compass. You gotta put a moral compass in those things. You are making me sick.
9:27 Speaker 03 Us and the he-thaves at Acura's are coming for you, Dummy Thick. Every he, they at Acura agrees.
9:34 Speaker 06 There's, weirdly, wonderful thing about that company-
9:37 Speaker 03 We can't go into Acura pronouns without saying our names.
9:40 Speaker 06 I will say, I will, just before we say our names, a beautiful thing happening at the Acura company behind the scenes. The proportional amount of he, they's-
9:49 Speaker 03 They're breaking down masculinity in an incredible way at the Acura factory. It needs to be studied.
9:52 Speaker 05 It needs to be studied.
9:53 Speaker 03 I don't know what they've done in the corporate culture.
9:54 Speaker 06 There's something going on at the Acura factory.
9:57 Speaker 03 Honda is all he/him. Honda all- Well, Acura's the first he, they majority factory.
10:04 Speaker 05 And the he, they's are a majority shareholder. They have a seat at the table, so they do get to choose financial decisions. And it's just a beautiful thing to see.
10:15 Speaker 03 But that's them, right? And this is us. That's us. This is us, huh?
10:19 Speaker 05 But this is us.
10:21 Speaker 03 That's my favorite show.
10:22 Speaker 05 This is us.
10:23 Speaker 06 I would have loved this is us if it just had 20% more pranks.
10:26 Speaker 03 I agree.
10:27 Speaker 06 You know, if they're in the hospital giving birth and the doctor goes, "Whoa, baby does a kickflip."
10:31 Speaker 03 I totally agree. And the dad's too serious. The dad is too serious. I hate when dads are serious in shows. I go, where's the dad being silly? I wish they woke Mandy Moore up by slapping flour on her face.
10:43 Speaker 06 Yes. Big hand. Big hand slap flour.
10:46 Speaker 03 I would have liked the show if they did that, when she was old.
10:51 Speaker 03 I would have been funny if she was old, and then when she was young, wake her up with her titties. Yeah.
10:57 Speaker 05 Wake her up with her titties.
11:00 Speaker 03 So, she's old. She's, "I'm a scientist." I'm a scientist.
11:05 Speaker 05 Guys, there are so many shows that could be improved upon with pranks. And I think we could talk for any of them.
11:11 Speaker 06 Let's jump into some of them.
11:12 Speaker 05 Okay, say yes to the dress for one of them. I think it could be really improved.
11:16 Speaker 06 If there was a no punishment?
11:17 Speaker 05 If there was a no punishment, this dress doesn't work. A big claw machine grabs it, yanks it off.
11:24 Speaker 03 What about this, say yes to the dress, try this dress on, surprise, full of peanut butter. Full of peanut butter.
11:29 Speaker 05 You can't get out of a dress.
11:31 Speaker 06 Especially if it's natural, organic. Oh, that's bad.
11:34 Speaker 03 Chunky, chunky. Chunky, chunky. Oh, you don't like the straps on this dress? We'll make them scorpions. Yeah.
11:40 Speaker 05 Scorpion's round.
11:41 Speaker 03 Scorpions, holding up your dress. Hold up your dress, scorpions. Yeah. Oh, you know, you know what? I think there should be some pranks on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
11:47 Speaker 06 Thank you.
11:48 Speaker 05 Oh, yeah.
11:48 Speaker 03 Too much drama and not enough pranks. Put jelly in their mouths.
11:53 Speaker 05 Put jelly in their mouths.
11:56 Speaker 06 Well, that, I feel like that's great. If Mormon lives, Secret Lives of Mormon Lives could just be improved if we just put jelly in their mouths.
12:04 Speaker 05 It's so hard to talk, call someone a bitch when there's jelly in your mouth.
12:07 Speaker 03 That would be so funny. I think you'd stop.
12:09 Speaker 06 Such a funny prank to put jelly in your mouth.
12:12 Speaker 03 I think you'd stop, just honestly, starting so much drama and all this gossip.
12:17 Speaker 05 Cause you'd have to think about the extra price, you know? I could open my mouth, but all this jelly might fall out.
12:29 Speaker 03 One more show, Antiques Roadshow, I think would just be fantastic.
12:32 Speaker 06 Oh my god. If some of them were guitars instead of antiques.
12:35 Speaker 05 Yeah. Oh my god. If some of the antiques had a Jack in the Box function.
12:40 Speaker 06 Yeah, yeah. If they're reviewing it, and so, and this, if you see the, oh my god.
12:44 Speaker 03 Yes, cuckoo clock, a big grandfather clock, it's a balls and dick. Yeah, it'd be good.
12:50 Speaker 06 Cuckoo clock, big grandfather clock is a big balls and dick. That's crazy prank. If the guy has to be like, um, so what is this? Where did you, how long has this been in your house?
12:59 Speaker 03 Cuckoo. What about, what about, what about, what about, we put, we put papier-mâché on a guy's penis? And then he tries to sell his own penis on there.
13:06 Speaker 06 That's good.
13:07 Speaker 05 And then you know how much is the penis worth? And then they have to come up with a number.
13:11 Speaker 03 Let's do it, let's do the morning show with Jennifer Aniston.
13:14 Speaker 05 Oh, yes.
13:15 Speaker 06 Jennifer Aniston.
13:16 Speaker 03 I think probably, take Reese Witherspoon, put jelly in her mouth. Slap her on the ass and put her on a Ferris wheel.
13:25 Speaker 05 Did Jennifer?
13:27 Speaker 03 That's the prank?
13:28 Speaker 06 The prank is to slap her on the ass and put her in a Ferris wheel.
13:32 Speaker 06 We're scientists.
13:33 Speaker 05 We are just scientists.
13:35 Speaker 06 Blue skying right now, this is half of the job is blue skying.
13:38 Speaker 05 This is a blue sky situation.
13:40 Speaker 06 So we, should we introduce ourselves?
13:42 Speaker 03 I think it is about time. I think maybe it's time, it's about time. Yeah. Sorry, we're so used to not introducing ourselves, cause they don't like to know our names there.
13:49 Speaker 05 Yeah, and because we already know each other, so normally we don't have to do it.
13:52 Speaker 03 We usually, yeah.
13:53 Speaker 05 It's not a natural thing to introduce yourself to somebody who isn't even there.
13:57 Speaker 03 Now that I think about it, Johnny, every time he looks at me, he goes, hire number two. Hire number two. Cause he remembers the order in which we were hired. Oh, that's interesting.
14:04 Speaker 05 Oh, yes.
14:05 Speaker 03 And he always calls me hire number two. Hire number two. Well, how about you start, hire number two? What's going on? How are, how are we? Um, I'm lens D model and I'm not well this morning.
14:18 Speaker 03 Hey. It's okay. I am Lens D-Model.

Hi, I'm Jenna Oshkowitz. You might know me from Glee. This is At the Table, the food allergy podcast, a show about food, connection, and what it really looks like to live with food allergies. Each episode, we hear stories from real people like Daniel.
15:38 Speaker 03 People would always think I was lactose intolerant, so I just kind of shortened my explanation to I'm deathly allergic, in a big way that defined a lot of my childhood. And while there are challenges, there are moments that remind you you're not alone. One of the best guys that I dated, he made a point to memorize all my food allergies. So join us and hear their stories and more, because living with food allergies isn't just about what you can't eat, it's about still having your seat at the table.

16:26 Speaker 03 I am a chemist, a physicist, and most popularly, a testicular specialist. That is the thing you're most popular for. Most popular.
16:36 Speaker 06 Most popular around the office.
16:38 Speaker 05 I mean, that's why we like you.
16:39 Speaker 03 Yeah, and I think it's, I am usually.
16:42 Speaker 06 You've got a gift. It feels like, it feels like your ability to, I've never thought of what a testicle could do or what a thing could happen to a testicle before you arrived in my life. You are poetry in motion, but your poetry is the little two balls hanging off a man.
16:59 Speaker 03 Thank you so much. I appreciate that. I mean, I, I went to Brown and my, my major was chemistry and I had a minor in testicular.
17:08 Speaker 06 Yeah. Oh, that's crazy. What's the doctor that like heads that department, the minor in testicular?
17:15 Speaker 03 Um, his name was Dr. Fouter.
17:18 Speaker 06 Dr. Fouter.
17:19 Speaker 05 Dr. Fouter.
17:19 Speaker 03 You know Dr. Fouter? That's crazy. You know Dr. Fouter? I do not know anything about him. Yeah, it's a really deep cut. I didn't know you knew that about my school.
17:28 Speaker 06 You guys didn't read his research paper?
17:30 Speaker 03 Of course I did. I took his class. What do you know about him?
17:32 Speaker 06 So, yeah, so I should introduce myself, I guess, that kind of ties into.
17:37 Speaker 03 Yeah, go for it.
17:37 Speaker 06 My name is Reggie Dank.
17:40 Speaker 03 I think I've met someone like exactly.
17:43 Speaker 06 Is there somebody named this?
17:45 Speaker 05 No, I think there's some.
17:46 Speaker 03 A television show that's very close.
17:50 Speaker 06 Never mind. That's not my name.
17:52 Speaker 03 It's okay. My name is Lens. Lensy model.
17:56 Speaker 06 My name is Reggie the Titan.
18:00 Speaker 03 The Titan.
18:01 Speaker 06 Reggie the Titan.
18:02 Speaker 03 Cause he's always watching Remember the Titans.
18:05 Speaker 05 Yeah, this guy I love. That's why he's popular.
18:08 Speaker 06 The word Reggie and the word remember are so close that it's Reggie the Titan or Remember the Titans.
18:12 Speaker 05 It almost could, yeah. It almost could be Reggie the Titan.
18:15 Speaker 03 It's crazy. You can't, he can't eat without that movie on. He can't eat.
18:19 Speaker 06 Oh, it's foodie's time. I'm watching Remember the Titans.
18:23 Speaker 03 I actually think that is a concern because I've seen you not eat when the movie's not on.
18:27 Speaker 06 No, if movie's not on, I'm not watching, I'm not eating.
18:31 Speaker 03 And you said you can't sleep unless it's playing?
18:32 Speaker 06 No, it has to be playing.
18:34 Speaker 03 I just love it.
18:35 Speaker 05 It's sort of like a metronome for your life. You have to have it.
18:38 Speaker 06 They all play on the same team at the end.
18:40 Speaker 03 Right side?
18:41 Speaker 06 Right side.
18:42 Speaker 03 Strong, strong side. How did you know that?
18:45 Speaker 06 I knew that.
18:46 Speaker 03 But you know the doctor in which I studied under, in Brown?
18:49 Speaker 06 I'm the one that says right side. That's what confused me. Anyway, basically, the best way to explain myself is like, I'm not, I'm not classically trained, basically. You know when you see those videos of like people in like Africa that that build a plane or something? That's kind of like what I did. That's like how Jackass found me out. I was in the middle of Mississippi, just kind of like podunk town in the backwoods. But I actually built one of the best prank machines in the world. It was this solar powered fart machine. It would be charged by the sun and let out the biggest rips in the world. That whole town would clear out.
19:26 Speaker 05 And you've gotten, you've advanced so much since then because that machine was massive. It's like those old computers they used to have that took up the size of a room. The amount of gears and levers in this fart machine.
19:37 Speaker 06 Yeah.
19:37 Speaker 05 And now you can do that with a single computer chip.
19:40 Speaker 03 Can I, I heard a rumor.
19:41 Speaker 06 Go ahead.
19:42 Speaker 03 I heard a rumor that your great grandfather invented the dunk tank.
19:46 Speaker 06 So that is a rumor. It's not true.
19:48 Speaker 03 Oh, that's so weird. Damn it. Where did you hear that? I don't know.
19:54 Speaker 06 I'm kidding. It's true.
19:56 Speaker 03 It's true?
19:56 Speaker 06 It's true. My grandfather invented the dunk tank. His name was, I don't want to say it on TV, but... So his name, I guess I'll say Frank.
20:09 Speaker 03 No, I just knew, I knew you were very famous when you started.
20:12 Speaker 05 Isn't like a bad word?
20:16 Speaker 06 If you say his name fast, it sounds like a very mean thing to call a gay person.
20:20 Speaker 03 I don't, what?
20:21 Speaker 06 I'm kidding. I'm not going to say that on TV. His name is Ronald Dunk.
20:27 Speaker 05 Okay.
20:28 Speaker 06 So if you say that fast, it could be something bad.
20:30 Speaker 05 It could be like...
20:32 Speaker 03 Runk? Runk. Ra ra ra.
20:35 Speaker 06 I'm not gonna tell you how. If you say it crazy. Anyway, so he invented the dunk tank, but he just like was hated how like society treated him after that, you know, cuz his-
20:46 Speaker 03 What a useless invention though, so I imagine-
20:48 Speaker 06 Useless.
20:49 Speaker 03 But, but, in that, that time, pre, pre prank culture.
20:53 Speaker 06 It was the first prank.
20:54 Speaker 05 He was ahead of his time, essentially.
20:56 Speaker 03 But I'm saying like back in the day-
20:57 Speaker 06 People looked at it and scoffed at it.
20:59 Speaker 03 Yeah.
20:59 Speaker 06 And he was doing something that changed the world forever.
21:02 Speaker 03 That is heartbreaking.
21:03 Speaker 06 And so he got out of there, he moved, he kinda became a drunk, very angry, angry man. Um, and I only met him a couple times, so.
21:15 Speaker 03 But it runs in your blood, you're kind of-
21:17 Speaker 06 The genes passed through.
21:18 Speaker 03 You're a big deal, you're a big deal.
21:19 Speaker 06 So I'm self-taught, I did a lot of reading by myself, you know, when the internet was good, I'd go down to the library and read kinda like articles on testicular and articles on like what happens when the body ingests something, or what happens when the skin is irritated, you know, just like-
21:35 Speaker 03 It's all articles, articles, articles.
21:36 Speaker 06 Articles, articles, articles. So that's just me, that's just me.
21:39 Speaker 03 Well-
21:40 Speaker 06 Reggie the Titan.
21:41 Speaker 05 Reggie the Titan.
21:43 Speaker 03 Um, hi everybody, my name is Guy Bagool, and I, of course, uh, they call me the EA Games section. Um, EA stands for explosions, animals, and games. So I'm in charge of all explosions-
21:57 Speaker 06 We just said EA game.
21:59 Speaker 03 EA games, cuz they, it's in the game, cuz they, they, they like video games- EA sports, it's in the game. That's what it is, yeah, yeah, yeah. So EA games, and that's-
22:07 Speaker 06 It's in the game.
22:08 Speaker 03 It's in the game. EA games is in the game. Um, that's me, I, yeah, so if anything blows up, if any animal is doing something interesting, or if they're playing a game, that's what I'm up to. Uh, again, I went to Oxford, I got a, uh, PhD in physics, and so if you need something to fly, I can make it happen. Um, if you need something to go from one place to another, I can tell you how it's gonna happen. And, and that's what I like to do.
22:35 Speaker 06 I mean, you're kinda like the physics master, like, in terms of explosions and getting things to lift off, it's like, nobody has the touch like you do.
22:43 Speaker 03 I know what everything's going to do, it's almost like a sixth sense, you know, I know exactly, if this camera were to fall, it would hit right there, three feet that way, that would knock the stool over that way. I mean, I know how everything's gonna fall, the world is my dominoes. The only chaotic uncontrollable factor is these men's kind of-
23:01 Speaker 03 Fluid bodies, right? They move in weird ways that I can't predict. Why? And they are trained.
23:06 Speaker 06 It's a cast of very strange, interesting bodies.
23:08 Speaker 03 Dangly, weird muscles, weird.
23:10 Speaker 05 Yes, yes.
23:11 Speaker 03 Yeah, it's hard to test. And I can't tell you, I can't tell you the density of Steve-O. It changes by the minute. Yeah. And so when I'm putting him in a cannon, it could go one way, it could go another way. It depends on how much Monster he drank that morning.
23:23 Speaker 06 Yeah, literally.
23:24 Speaker 03 And it's really crazy. This is the stuff people don't know. Now, there are variables and we are writing for them. And so it can be hard.
23:33 Speaker 05 I know, I know. I bet you wish that they were just crash test dummies. And I know you've pitched this before because the equilibrium would be, but unfortunately, nobody wants to watch a crash test dummy on TV.
23:44 Speaker 03 No, they don't, no, they don't want to. And what's hard is that I, I, I spent a lot of time with those crash test dummies and they're wonderful people. I don't think so. And that's my thing, because you always think they're cast, they would be better cast. And I have to, I have to rub up against that because I think, I know that they're predictable for you, so as a scientist, you love them because they're, they're reliable.
24:06 Speaker 05 I know, but I gotta say, you gotta stop spending Thanksgiving with them.
24:10 Speaker 03 Yeah, you just. Really? What do you mean?
24:11 Speaker 05 It's eerie.
24:12 Speaker 03 It's eerie.
24:13 Speaker 05 It's eerie.
24:14 Speaker 03 Because I get it, you like.
24:15 Speaker 06 The photos are just a little creepy.
24:17 Speaker 03 I don't make food for them. I make enough food just for me.
24:21 Speaker 05 I know.
24:21 Speaker 03 I know they're not eating.
24:23 Speaker 05 Watching you eat a turkey.
24:24 Speaker 03 I know they're not eating. I know they're not real. I know they're not eating.
24:29 Speaker 05 Okay.
24:30 Speaker 03 I know they're not eating. Even if you know they're not eating, why are you still sitting with him?
24:35 Speaker 05 And why do you serve them a plate?
24:36 Speaker 03 Because I know exactly what they're gonna do. You think I want to go to a Thanksgiving where my uncle's gonna bring something up about Guatemala out of the blue? I can't predict that. I can't know what that's gonna be. The dummies are gonna sit, they're gonna listen, they're gonna wear a picture of Channing Tatum's face on their face. And that's what's gonna happen. It's such a massive red flag, guy. It's a massive red. Well, guess what? I'm single and I wanna be proud, single guy over here. And guess what?
25:04 Speaker 06 You gotta change your Instagram bio. You gotta change your Instagram.
25:07 Speaker 03 Proud, single guy.
25:09 Speaker 06 Over here.
25:09 Speaker 03 And you can't use the.
25:10 Speaker 04 The color of that emoji.
25:11 Speaker 03 You can't.
25:12 Speaker 05 You cannot be doing that.
25:13 Speaker 04 You can't use the color of that emoji.
25:15 Speaker 05 That's not yours to use.
25:16 Speaker 03 Proud, single guy over here.
25:18 Speaker 04 No, you can't use that.
25:19 Speaker 03 I'm a proud, single guy, and I don't care if I have red flags because I'm not waving them for you, baby. I'm waving them for me, and I like the way they look.
25:27 Speaker 04 Let's go back to science. You're better at that.
25:29 Speaker 03 Science is important to me, and I love it, and I can't wait to show you guys what happens in this new Jackass, because the things that are flying, the things that are biting.
25:36 Speaker 04 It is crazy.
25:37 Speaker 03 The things that are exploding are very exciting.
25:39 Speaker 06 And you had a big hand in that, actually. I think like you had, for this specific Jackass that's just coming out, I mean, you kind of like changed the game a little bit.
25:46 Speaker 03 We're saving the best for last right now. You are the pro.
25:49 Speaker 05 Well, of course, I am. I am. My name, hi, hello. My name is Michaela Swimming, and I am a person who is, what is, what is, what is my job here is I am known around here as the composer, the prank composer.
26:05 Speaker 06 Ugh.
26:05 Speaker 05 I sort of, I, you know, I assist with the science, of course, but I am, I'm tying multiple elements together and making sure that they all work in harmony. And, you know, I was raised in a family where my father was a beekeeper and my mother was a prank clown. And she had all these sort of like handshake buzzers and, you know, fake, fake poops, fake turds. She ran a joke shop.
26:33 Speaker 04 Destined for greatness. Destined for greatness.
26:35 Speaker 05 And they were always fighting. And, you know.
26:37 Speaker 03 I mean, I can't imagine they had anything in common.
26:39 Speaker 05 No, they, to be honest, my father was a quiet man. He just tended to the bees.
26:45 Speaker 04 Honestly, must have been good sex.
26:48 Speaker 03 It honestly must have been.
26:49 Speaker 04 It must have been just really good sex.
26:50 Speaker 05 You know, I don't like to imagine the, the sex of my parents, of course. I mean, I am grateful to the sex. It's why I am here, of course, but all just looking at it.
27:00 Speaker 04 Grateful to the sex?
27:01 Speaker 06 Grateful to your parents' sex?
27:02 Speaker 03 Can we all take a moment? I think it's important to say, we're grateful to our parents' sex.
27:06 Speaker 05 I am grateful for my parents' sex. I know that they met at a nightclub in Berlin.
27:12 Speaker 04 Do you ever look at a sunset and go, I couldn't look at this if my parents didn't have sex?
27:16 Speaker 05 I know. They, and it is a beautiful thing. And unfortunately, whatever the sex they were having, it did not translate to a happy marriage. There were bees thrown around the room and, and.
27:28 Speaker 06 Oh, your dad threw bees?
27:31 Speaker 04 Oh, God.
27:32 Speaker 06 In his anger, he threw bees.
27:34 Speaker 05 He was throwing bees. It was terrifying, terrifying. He would ball them up in his hand and he would toss them at my mother, who would swat them away with a big hand buzzer. The bees would get electrocuted. You'd think it would kill them, but in fact, it would only make them stronger. Then when you got stung, you'd be electrocuted as well. And so, there's...
27:52 Speaker 06 Sounds like a...
27:53 Speaker 04 What a madhouse for a kid.
27:54 Speaker 06 Kind of like old farce.
27:56 Speaker 04 Yeah, it sounds like a really weird farce.
27:58 Speaker 03 Well, you're playing Lincoln Logs in the corner.
27:59 Speaker 05 I'm playing Lincoln Logs in the corner, just trying to make everybody happy. I'm looking at my homework and I'm trying to make everything work, but it's like, you know...
28:08 Speaker 06 What's your homework, Lincoln Logs?
28:11 Speaker 05 I went to a Montessori school, so my homework from first through seventh grade was Lincoln Logs, Legos, and French cooking. And then, I had to fight...
28:23 Speaker 06 We are diving into this past.
28:26 Speaker 04 We have to, we have to let you go.
28:27 Speaker 05 And we've got to get back to the future. But the point is, I had to juggle all of these things in my past and I had to, like a maestro, conduct them back and forth so that I would escape unscathed from the household from which I was raised. So, in the office, I function as sort of a maestro, a conductor, and I siphon pranks together. If you have an ass-slapping component and you have a falling off a skyscraper component, I make sure they combine with a story that makes sense for everybody.
28:59 Speaker 06 I wish we got to one of our best pranks, slap my ass so I fall off this building.
29:04 Speaker 03 Very, very wonderful.
29:05 Speaker 04 That one is, that's vintage stuff, right?
29:07 Speaker 06 That's vintage.
29:08 Speaker 04 We're not plugged in at all for that. That's vintage.
29:10 Speaker 05 But, yes, it's analog, exactly.
29:12 Speaker 04 What's important about after we just all go around is think about each one of our specialties that we just talked about. They don't stand alone on this show without the other. Like, I try to be as creative as I can. I can't be that creative, right? What did I say, jelly in the mouth? That doesn't do anything. You come in and you rewrite my pitches and you do them in such a bold way. But then you'll come in and say something and I go, "You can't do that with the balls." You can't do that.
29:37 Speaker 03 I love the way that we all get together and allow our... Brains to do what they do. It's very exciting.
29:44 Speaker 06 Turn on.
29:45 Speaker 03 We'll bring something in. Somebody will see something out in the world. You know, they'll see a janitor's buffing machine, right? And they'll bring it in and we'll stare at it like, like I imagine the animators of The Lion King stared at lions in order to create their art because we walk around and and we'll poke around at it and we'll say, what can this do? And then, and then you'll hold it up and you'll hold it up to my chest and be like, how does that make you feel? And then, you know, sometimes it does. I will say turn sensual.
30:12 Speaker 06 Yeah.
30:12 Speaker 03 When we start playing with an experiment, we put it on our bodies.
30:15 Speaker 05 The line between experimenting and S and M is just like, it's so, it's really.
30:20 Speaker 04 Happens to us all the time.
30:21 Speaker 06 These days, it's so thin and that, the warehouse gets so hot. It is, they, I just wish Acura would install some, some, you know, AC in there.
30:32 Speaker 05 No, the heathens like it warm.
30:33 Speaker 04 And the heathens are blasting Sam Smith and we just get a little naughty at some point.
30:39 Speaker 03 They're playing body shop.
30:41 Speaker 06 We're in a body shop.
30:42 Speaker 03 You're rubbing, you're rubbing fly tape on me. It gets stuck.
30:46 Speaker 04 And I'm going, does that hurt or feel good?
30:48 Speaker 03 Yeah. And you're rubbing your foot down my chest, it gets stuck. We're getting close.
30:51 Speaker 06 I'm gonna fly swatter accidentally hitting your bums.
30:53 Speaker 04 Yeah. And I'm going harder because it won't be a bigger punishment.
30:57 Speaker 03 Yeah.
30:58 Speaker 04 And then you go, wait, am I asking for it to be harder because I want it to be? Or because I'm a scientist?
31:03 Speaker 03 Yes, we have also signed a sexual amnesty clause. If you have sex.
31:07 Speaker 06 Oh, it's like, it's like international waters in there.
31:11 Speaker 04 It's maritime law for.
31:13 Speaker 05 It is international waters. It is maritime law. It is neutral. We are Switzerland. It is all okay. It's all okay.
31:24 Speaker 03 Because of that, it means nothing. I still can be a proud, single guy and be getting railed. It's fine.
31:30 Speaker 06 I had a fun game that I thought of just now. Um, would it be fun to like, name a prank and then break down how it came to be?
31:36 Speaker 04 Oh, I love that. That's great. Because sometimes Johnny will bring pranks.
31:40 Speaker 06 Sometimes he'll have this idea and then we have to kind of reverse engineer it.
31:44 Speaker 04 But then a lot of the times I, I say it, we pitch it as a team.
31:47 Speaker 06 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:49 Speaker 04 And they come in, they come in on a Google Doc.
31:52 Speaker 03 Yeah. Man, it's so crazy to see 25 anonymous animals in the corner. Anonymous iguana, anonymous walrus, anonymous.
32:00 Speaker 06 I have so many notes.
32:02 Speaker 03 We don't know who they are, but they are, they are, literally, it's almost like they've all been turned on and they're all going crazy.
32:07 Speaker 05 No, they will not log in. They will not reveal themselves.
32:10 Speaker 04 Steveo is anonymous cockroach.
32:12 Speaker 03 He is?
32:12 Speaker 04 I know he is.
32:13 Speaker 05 Every time?
32:13 Speaker 04 Every damn time. Cause he's on his, he's on his android.
32:16 Speaker 06 Steveo, we got you.
32:17 Speaker 04 He's on his damn android.
32:20 Speaker 06 Um, okay, so let's re-engineer, uh, rocket ship in butt pushes you in a plane.
32:26 Speaker 03 Great. We're re-engineering that?
32:28 Speaker 05 Well, let's, yeah, like re-engineer as in, well, let's break it down.
32:32 Speaker 06 How did this come to be?
32:33 Speaker 05 Sort of the behind the music.
32:34 Speaker 06 So, as you guys know, the prank is, uh, Johnny Knoxville has a rocket ship, like a little rocket in his butt, like a giant, like kind of a firework that doesn't set off. That pushes, he's in a little rowboat, a duck boat, and it pushes him actually across the boat. And the contest is see how, who can get the farthest.
32:52 Speaker 04 And the boat.
32:53 Speaker 05 And remind me, was he strapped to the rocket, like on his belly and zooming?
32:56 Speaker 04 No, it was sticking out of his anus.
32:58 Speaker 05 It was up his butt. Ah, I keep remembering that's normally where we put stuff.
33:02 Speaker 06 It's like a Roman candle type of thing.
33:03 Speaker 03 So he's standing on the boat, he's using the Roman candle as the propeller to shoot him across a still lake.
33:09 Speaker 06 Yes.
33:09 Speaker 03 That we used at a summer camp. Yeah, we rented it at a summer camp.
33:11 Speaker 04 We rented it at a summer camp. It was a canoe, if I want to be specific.
33:14 Speaker 03 Yes.
33:15 Speaker 04 Because that boat, we couldn't, we couldn't start working with bigger boats till we started dealing with a small space.
33:21 Speaker 06 Yeah.
33:21 Speaker 04 And, um, the crash dummies, it was easy to stick that stuff in their butt, cause it was, it was easy to manipulate.
33:27 Speaker 03 I'll tell you what, it was so easy. It was so.
33:29 Speaker 04 Okay, so, um, yeah.
33:31 Speaker 05 So, I actually, I actually, I'm a little concerned.
33:34 Speaker 04 No, so, and I just meant like, that's how it started, and we'll move on.
33:37 Speaker 03 Lady fingers into a taramisu.
33:39 Speaker 05 You have, you have some motivations that are.
33:41 Speaker 06 Lady fingers in a taramisu is one of the worst visuals we've ever, I've ever heard of.
33:45 Speaker 04 That was so disgusting.
33:46 Speaker 03 But that's what, that's what, is at the bottom of a taramisu is lady finger.
33:50 Speaker 05 Time out.
33:51 Speaker 03 That's a pastry. You're not saying a lady's finger is stuffed into a taramisu.
33:55 Speaker 06 That's what I was thinking. And that's just the, one of the most disgusting visuals.
33:59 Speaker 04 I was thinking about him.
34:00 Speaker 03 That's disgusting.
34:01 Speaker 06 That's what I.
34:02 Speaker 03 You're disgusting. You're a pervert. I'm talking about lady fingers, the pastry.
34:05 Speaker 04 No, you're talking about sticking something up a fucking.
34:08 Speaker 05 I think the pastry into another pastry is worse for me. I would rather it be ladies fingers.
34:14 Speaker 03 You don't understand. The pastry is part of the pastry. Lady fingers are the bottom layer of a tiramisu.
34:20 Speaker 04 Tiramisu is not a pastry. It's a dish. Tiramisu is a dish, not a pastry.
34:24 Speaker 03 So it's a pastry and a dish. Is that a piece of the court?
34:25 Speaker 04 The dish can go into the pastry.
34:27 Speaker 05 I want to talk about something else because I'm going to get heated and I can't be around. And I can't be responsible for what I'm going to do.
34:36 Speaker 04 So we're trying to set off these, uh, these crash test dummies, right?
34:40 Speaker 06 One of the hardest things I will say is trying, like mathematically trying to find the right type of firework rocket that would be stuck up his bum that wouldn't explode his asshole.
34:49 Speaker 04 Right. We have a, an overall deal with the fireworks store.
34:53 Speaker 06 It's an overall.
34:54 Speaker 04 First look.
34:55 Speaker 05 We get to look at those fireworks.
34:58 Speaker 04 Jojo's, Jojo's explode room.
35:01 Speaker 06 Yeah. Jojo's explode room.
35:02 Speaker 04 Yes. In Santa Ana.
35:03 Speaker 03 Side of the road in Santa Ana. We have, we have, we have an overall deal with a sh- a fireworks shack in Santa Ana.
35:10 Speaker 04 So we exclusively go there. And we get deliveries and they drop off stuff that they're working with and we work with their stuff. We'll be like, oh, can we use this?
35:18 Speaker 03 Yeah.
35:18 Speaker 04 To get Johnny in the river and move him.
35:21 Speaker 06 I mean, trying to find that right. I mean, it was like test and retest and retest and retest.
35:27 Speaker 03 And we optioned, we optioned a lot of fireworks from them for this.
35:30 Speaker 06 Yeah.
35:31 Speaker 04 Because sometimes we don't want them to be selling some of the really cool fireworks we're using.
35:37 Speaker 03 Exactly. Cause you don't want to see what's coming out of Johnny Knoxville's ass and like, oh, I've seen that before.
35:41 Speaker 05 Yeah. Like, oh, I've seen that at the Rose Bowl.
35:44 Speaker 06 You don't want to be 4th of July, phew, phew, up. That's the one that came out of Johnny Knoxville's ass.
35:48 Speaker 04 Yeah. I think what's the hardest thing? Exactly.

36:56 Speaker 05 Hi, I'm Jenna Oshkowitz. You might know me from Glee. This is At the Table, the food allergy podcast, a show about food, connection, and what it really looks like to live with food allergies. Each episode, we hear stories from real people like Daniel.
37:10 Speaker 03 People would always think I was lactose intolerant, so I just kind of shortened my explanation to I'm deathly allergic in a big way that defined a lot of my childhood.
37:21 Speaker 05 And while there are challenges, there are moments that remind you you're not alone.
37:26 Speaker 03 One of the best guys that I dated, he made a point to memorize all my food allergies.
37:32 Speaker 05 So join us and hear their stories and more because living with food allergies isn't just about what you can't eat. It's about still having your seat at the table.

37:58 Speaker 04 What's the hardest thing about our job is we have to make sure that prank wasn't done before. We have to beat them to it. That's a hard thing. If we, like, I remember when we heard Waymo's were going to come out, we were like, let's do a prank before these kids start doing those pranks.
38:14 Speaker 06 Jackass boys in a car with no driver.
38:17 Speaker 03 All right, well, let's just say. If there isn't a Waymo bit in this movie already, which I can almost
38:23 Speaker 05 There has to be. There has to be, and the reason we don't know is because we haven't seen the final cut yet. We're still, we're still whittling it down, but there absolutely has to be.
38:32 Speaker 04 There are new inventions that come to our desk and we go, we gotta crack this now.
38:36 Speaker 05 One of those, I mean, those, those, those little Postmate robots, those Coco bots.
38:41 Speaker 03 We brought one in, we brought a Coco bot in and we were poking around at it. We all had some very interesting ideas with it.
38:46 Speaker 05 We had some very exciting ideas for that. I mean, mine was, of course, you open it up and there are a bunch of spiders and they are in a, like a big hot dog. So you don't see the spiders right away.
39:02 Speaker 03 Spiders in a hot dog.
39:02 Speaker 05 But they are crawling around and so you might take a bite and then find out a little too late, once it's in your mouth, that there is a spider in there.
39:13 Speaker 04 Yeah, my idea was that we, we, we put Stevo in there, in the Coco bot. He's kind of sitting up, growing up, and we make a little blowhole, put his dick out, and then drive that Coco, that, that Postmates bot to a nunnery. And then watch these nuns look for their coffee in the, in the bot.
39:35 Speaker 05 It is a little, little dick in a Coco bot, send it to a nunnery. Get thee to a nunnery.
39:42 Speaker 04 Get thee to a nunnery, I say.
39:45 Speaker 03 Get dick to a nunnery.
39:46 Speaker 05 Get dick to a nunnery.
39:48 Speaker 06 My pitch was, I wanted to make the Coco bot pretty big and people would be like, what the hell is in there? So they open up, MMA fighter comes out, punches you in the head.
39:57 Speaker 03 That's very fun.
39:57 Speaker 06 Punches you in the head as hard as they can.
39:58 Speaker 04 God, I'd laugh so hard.
39:59 Speaker 03 Fist, fist coming out.
40:01 Speaker 06 Wee man going like, what is in this? Boom, knocked out immediately.
40:05 Speaker 03 Really fun. And, and my trick, I was gonna do a classic prank where they're on the street and you're watching civilians look at someone on Sunset Boulevard and one of our guys goes in to grab something out of the Coco bot, disappears completely inside of it.
40:17 Speaker 06 Oh, yeah.
40:18 Speaker 03 And drives away. So we have a trapdoor situation, we have mirrors, and that's gonna, kind of people being like, wait, what the heck? What's happening with this crazy thing?
40:26 Speaker 04 But you know, at the end of the day, we bring all those Ideas to Johnny.
40:29 Speaker 06 Yeah.
40:29 Speaker 04 And.
40:30 Speaker 06 And we have a strict rule like, cause there's a fine line between Jackass and Impractical Jokers.
40:36 Speaker 03 There is. It's been divided.
40:38 Speaker 05 And it's tough.
40:39 Speaker 06 That is a hard line.
40:41 Speaker 05 We had, you know, we had a Cocobot pitch that ended up, we ended up selling it to the Impractical Jokers, which was, um, baby trapped in Cocobot can't get out. And we put a baby monitor inside of a Cocobot. And so everyone thought, oh my God, there's a baby in here. What are we gonna do?
40:57 Speaker 04 And we could tell the voice. There's an artistic voice. The second that pitch came to our desk and then it was baby, we go, Jackass isn't baby. It's old people and men.
41:06 Speaker 03 Yes.
41:06 Speaker 04 So then we send that off to them.
41:07 Speaker 06 I would say the difference between Jackass and Impractical Jokers, Jackass is, feels like internally created by 14 year olds. Impractical Jokers feels internally created by 45 year olds.
41:17 Speaker 05 Yes.
41:17 Speaker 03 And I will say there's.
41:18 Speaker 04 But who's doing it? What's the difference?
41:20 Speaker 03 There is some crossover. There is a kind of a secret, I'm, I'm blowing up the spot right now, but there's a secret underground marketplace where people share pranks and sell prank ideas to each other. It's called the Whack Market. And it's really.
41:33 Speaker 06 You're gonna really talk about the Whack Market?
41:34 Speaker 05 It is the Whack Market. I mean, I feel a little nervous talking about the Whack Market. I won't disclose the location, of course, but it is literally underground. We meet in secrecy. There are robes involved. There are candles. There is a secret society. And passwords as well. And we exchange, um, we exchange ideas with, um, the, with, um, well, uh, Punk'd when it was still around.
41:59 Speaker 06 Oh, yeah, yeah.
42:00 Speaker 03 Gabe Matarazzo's, uh, scare control.
42:03 Speaker 05 Yes, yes.
42:04 Speaker 03 Whatever that is called, that, that show.
42:05 Speaker 05 What would you do with John Kehoness?
42:07 Speaker 04 Yes, he's there. They love the Whack. They love it.
42:11 Speaker 06 Such a different vibe.
42:11 Speaker 05 And he had some great Jackass ideas.
42:14 Speaker 06 He really did.
42:14 Speaker 04 We exchange, we do a lot of work with him.
42:17 Speaker 06 He's like, this is not gonna work on What Would You Do?
42:19 Speaker 05 He's like, I have an idea for a dick in a tractor that I just can't pull off.
42:23 Speaker 03 We accidentally switched suitcases once and I accidentally, I logged in and I pitched Johnny Knoxville. Uh, you see a Latina woman get fired from her job.
42:33 Speaker 03 And that didn't work.
42:34 Speaker 04 I mean, Mr. Beast is down there.
42:35 Speaker 06 Mr. Beast is down there.
42:36 Speaker 03 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
42:37 Speaker 05 He does come down there.
42:38 Speaker 04 There's a lot of people down there.
42:39 Speaker 06 The guys who do the trick shots are down there.
42:42 Speaker 03 Oh, yes.
42:42 Speaker 04 Yes.
42:43 Speaker 06 What, and you know, remember when the Holly Weed guy came in and he was pitching that for years? He just decided to do it by himself.
42:50 Speaker 05 He's got one idea.
42:52 Speaker 03 He made it happen. And look, I don't want this to, please do not search the whack market to try, no, I don't want to wake up with jelly in my mouth tomorrow morning, okay?
43:00 Speaker 04 You really don't. And I will say, it, people, people online have a conspiracy that it's that grilled cheese restaurant on La Brea. It's not.
43:09 Speaker 06 It's not the grilled cheese restaurant on La Brea.
43:11 Speaker 04 Weird people just go there.
43:12 Speaker 03 It's not the melt and there's no reason it's been open for 15 years. There's no reason it stayed open, but it's open.
43:18 Speaker 06 It's a good idea. That's why it's open.
43:20 Speaker 04 That's why, that's why they're there.
43:22 Speaker 06 Only grill, fun grilled cheeses? Yeah, what if I want some peanut butter and jelly in my grilled cheese?
43:27 Speaker 03 You're telling me that somebody's getting a brie par gruyere grilled cheese every day?
43:33 Speaker 06 And the funniest thing about that is you don't need to melt that gruyere.
43:37 Speaker 05 No, it'd be better if it wasn't.
43:39 Speaker 06 Hot gruyere? Don't mind if I don't.
43:41 Speaker 05 Ew.
43:42 Speaker 04 It's not the melt. Don't mind if I don't.
43:47 Speaker 06 Hot gruyere? Don't mind if I don't.
43:50 Speaker 05 All right. Well, I think we should do our segment that we do at the end of every workday called, "Don't Mind If I Don't."
43:58 Speaker 06 It's time for a Jackass rant. Don't mind if I don't. This just kind of loosens us, loosens us up.
44:05 Speaker 04 It helps us, it helps us generate things where we think of things that we don't want to happen to us. And usually the voice go, "Well, don't do that to me." So we go, okay, if we're stuck, let's just say a bunch of stuff we don't want to happen to our body.
44:17 Speaker 05 Sitting in a bear trap, "Don't mind if I don't." Miss me with that.
44:22 Speaker 04 Okay, I, I sat down at a movie theater and just, and instead of my theater seat, it's quicksand covered in cum.
44:30 Speaker 05 Don't mind if I don't.
44:32 Speaker 06 Quicksand covered in cum. What the hell are you talking about?
44:35 Speaker 05 I really don't mind if I don't.
44:37 Speaker 06 Bad. Oh, no, I'm sticking in quicksand and I'm covered in cum.
44:40 Speaker 04 It's the pranksters PB and J.
44:43 Speaker 03 No, it is not.
44:43 Speaker 04 Yes, it is.
44:45 Speaker 06 Quicksand's covered in cum. You're saying that's the pranksters PB and J. Don't mind if I don't.
44:50 Speaker 05 Don't mind if I don't. Don't mind if I don't.
44:52 Speaker 03 Being on our first date and the date goes to the bathroom, but you think she's actually left you because she's been gone for 45 minutes? And then she comes back covered in poo poo.
45:01 Speaker 05 Don't mind if I don't.
45:03 Speaker 06 Being in, in South Africa and you know how they drag those fake seals behind the, the boats in order for the
45:09 Speaker 03 I don't know that.
45:10 Speaker 06 The great white sharks can jump up and they can get amazing shots. That, you being the seal, that's terrifying.
45:16 Speaker 03 Don't mind if I don't.
45:17 Speaker 06 I genuinely got a little scared.
45:19 Speaker 03 That is scary.
45:19 Speaker 05 I felt it.
45:20 Speaker 04 Um, taking a big old poop in the TSA line at the Austin airport.
45:26 Speaker 05 Don't mind if I don't. Um, getting, getting into a, going to an, into a porta potty at Coachella, but the Coach, but you little, do you know it's on a moving train? And it's gonna be a, and it's gonna be a bullet train and it's gonna go all the way up
45:40 Speaker 06 It's gonna be a bullet train.
45:41 Speaker 05 To Northern California. Don't mind if I don't.
45:46 Speaker 03 Going into a grocery store, uh, covered in marshmallow fluff and then falling into all the open cereals in a cereal aisle? And then ending up being a big old piece of cereal and then some big old baby like from Honey, I Blew Up the Kids wants to eat you.
46:00 Speaker 05 Don't mind if I don't.
46:02 Speaker 06 So usually we start off really strong and then it just kind of teeters off. We kind of put ourselves to bed. It's a relaxation thing.
46:07 Speaker 03 I definitely don't want these things to happen.
46:10 Speaker 06 No, I don't.
46:10 Speaker 04 I wouldn't want to be on a motorcycle and go through, through the skim store and get spanked by Kim Kardashian.
46:17 Speaker 03 Don't.
46:17 Speaker 04 Don't mind if I don't.
46:19 Speaker 03 You want that?
46:19 Speaker 06 I kind of want to do that.
46:20 Speaker 04 See? And then we go, now I'm doing too much. Now I need to take a break.
46:23 Speaker 06 No, but when that happens, you go, wait a second. I kind of want to do that.
46:26 Speaker 03 We found the gray area.
46:27 Speaker 06 We found the gray area and that can be the next prank.
46:29 Speaker 04 It's just enough for the audience to go, but what if I did that?
46:32 Speaker 06 We man on a, on a
46:34 Speaker 04 Motorcycle, small, mini motorcycle?
46:36 Speaker 06 Mini motorcycle, driving through the skim store naked.
46:39 Speaker 04 Yeah.
46:40 Speaker 06 Getting spanked by Kim Kardashian and we have the Kim Kardashian plugin. Boom.
46:44 Speaker 05 The plugin.
46:44 Speaker 06 The plugin, where it's the Glade plugin, but it's the scent of Kim Kardashian.
46:48 Speaker 04 It's the Glade plugin, cuz.
46:50 Speaker 03 It smells like sandalwood.
46:51 Speaker 06 But then we gotta do this, like, people will wanna watch this little vignette because it's like, we see Kim Kardashian, and she goes, "Hi, I'm Kim Kardashian."
46:58 Speaker 04 This is Jackass.
46:59 Speaker 06 This is the naked Simscore motorcycle.
47:02 Speaker 04 Yeah. No, I mean, it's so fun to get cameos. We should talk about some of the cameos.
47:06 Speaker 05 Yes, let's talk about, this is a little bit of a spoiler, but maybe it is not.
47:11 Speaker 06 In the new Jackass movie, starting off with, of course, the biggest cameo we've, one of the biggest cameos we've ever had, Rudy Giuliani.
47:20 Speaker 04 I mean, we've been trying to get Giuliani, I'd say, for every movie I've been on for like, at least five years.
47:26 Speaker 03 And the problem is, he's been too available, to the point where it feels weird.
47:30 Speaker 05 I know. He actually, we ask him for avail checks, and he sends us a full calendar.
47:34 Speaker 03 Yeah.
47:35 Speaker 06 And you know what? He ended up getting cut from the final cut of this movie, so he will not be in it.
47:39 Speaker 04 But ultimately, you want someone who will say, "Maybe, I might be avail," because you don't want them to be super happy to do the prank.
47:47 Speaker 05 No.
47:47 Speaker 04 We need them to look a little busted.
47:49 Speaker 05 I will say, he was too happy when we stuck him in that pile of dead fish, and then launched him up, up, up, up and away.
47:58 Speaker 06 Yeah. We launched him up, up and away, up, up and away.
48:02 Speaker 04 And we played that K-pop Demon Hunter song. He's going up, up, up.
48:06 Speaker 05 It's Giuliani.
48:08 Speaker 04 He's sitting on piles of fish, sitting on piles of fish.
48:12 Speaker 06 He liked it too much. He said, "This is gonna," he kept on saying, "This is gonna save me. This is gonna save my wreck."
48:17 Speaker 03 I am very excited about a prank we did with the very famous, very wonderful Greta Thunberg.
48:22 Speaker 06 Yes.
48:23 Speaker 03 We told her climate change was fixed.
48:26 Speaker 06 No, that's awful.
48:28 Speaker 05 It was actually, it was really.
48:31 Speaker 06 For a second, and immediately left.
48:33 Speaker 04 We did it, and we brought our huge pizza, and in pepperoni, it said, "Climate change fix."
48:38 Speaker 03 Yeah, she said, "What is this?"
48:40 Speaker 05 We kept, we kept, you know, all the guys kept coming in with like, fake scientist drag, and they were.
48:47 Speaker 04 It was scientist drag.
48:48 Speaker 03 It was pure drag.
48:49 Speaker 04 Scientist drag.
48:51 Speaker 05 Look at the whole science outfits they're using. That's trash.
48:54 Speaker 03 I'd like to shout out Monet Exchange for being our scientist.
48:57 Speaker 05 Thank you so much, Monet Exchange.
48:58 Speaker 04 And Peppermint.
48:59 Speaker 06 You worked that outfit.
49:01 Speaker 04 Peppermint killed it.
49:02 Speaker 03 Peppermint.
49:04 Speaker 04 As a climate activist.
49:05 Speaker 03 Drag creatures as scientists, giving a big pizza to Greta Thunberg.
49:09 Speaker 05 I wanna, I wanna thank Maddie, um, oh my god.
49:12 Speaker 04 Ziegler the dancer?
49:13 Speaker 05 Yes, Maddie Ziegler the dancer.
49:16 Speaker 06 Thank you for jumping in.
49:17 Speaker 05 Thank you for jumping in and being so game.
49:20 Speaker 04 The cast of Titanic, singing climate fix.
49:24 Speaker 03 Frankie Grande, we love you.
49:26 Speaker 05 Frankie Grande, we love you. Thank you all for looking Greta Thunberg in the eyes and saying, "We've run the numbers. It's actually good."
49:32 Speaker 06 It was an awful prank. One of the worst I've ever heard.
49:34 Speaker 04 It was so bad.
49:35 Speaker 05 She was offended. She was angry. And you know, she was right. She was right to key our cars.
49:40 Speaker 06 Yeah.
49:40 Speaker 03 She keyed all of our cars.
49:42 Speaker 05 She keyed all of our cars.
49:43 Speaker 03 She keyed all of our Acuras.
49:44 Speaker 04 We have, um, we're, um, what's, we have, um, Jill Biden.
49:51 Speaker 03 Jill, Dr. Jill.
49:52 Speaker 06 Surviving the fart room.
49:56 Speaker 06 Dr. Jill survives the fart room. Can you walk through an entire room that smells like farts and not throw up?
50:02 Speaker 04 And Johnny is there going, "Can you believe it, Jill?" It's really sweet.
50:07 Speaker 05 And she, you know, she lasted 28 minutes in the fart room. And her Secret Service guys only lasted 14.
50:14 Speaker 06 Yeah.
50:14 Speaker 04 Yeah. And her chemistry with the guys was good. You need good chemistry too. And chemistry that we can't add up with numbers. Chemistry from humans.
50:22 Speaker 06 Yes.
50:22 Speaker 05 No, that's something we cannot calculate.
50:26 Speaker 06 We got Halle Berry in a small blimp, big
50:32 Speaker 06 tree.
50:33 Speaker 05 Yeah, yeah.
50:34 Speaker 03 So we put her in a little blimp and then we got that blimp stuff stuck in a tree.
50:38 Speaker 06 And she had to ask strangers to get her down.
50:40 Speaker 05 It was funny.
50:42 Speaker 06 People were very confused.
50:43 Speaker 03 It was funny. People were even like, "Halle Berry, how do I get you down from there?"
50:47 Speaker 04 And guess what? It's the guys in drag.
50:50 Speaker 03 Yeah, and it's the guy in drag.
50:51 Speaker 04 And they're all walking by and they're going, "I have my baby." And, and Steve was the baby. And it was so funny.
50:57 Speaker 06 Very equally confused.
50:58 Speaker 03 Yeah, cuz it was kind of a situation where they both thought they were pranking the other.
51:03 Speaker 06 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
51:04 Speaker 05 Everybody thought they were the one pranking.
51:07 Speaker 03 Yeah.
51:07 Speaker 05 I loved J.K. Simmons in Baby Dentist, where he was a little baby. We put his head in a little baby bassinet, and he had these little tiny baby arms that we were using as a puppeteer. And we were trying to drill people's teeth out.
51:28 Speaker 04 Yeah.
51:29 Speaker 06 It was horrendous. J.K. Simmons was deeply horrified watching people's teeth be drilled out.
51:37 Speaker 05 No, he didn't enjoy it, but he, you know, he stayed in it. He's a professional.
51:45 Speaker 03 Kylie was just telling me the funniest thing.
51:47 Speaker 05 It's the funniest thing. You can become a Patreon member and hear more about our lives, the episodes, and other fun things we're doing on the side. Isn't that hilarious?
51:57 Speaker 03 Isn't that just a trip?
51:59 Speaker 05 And isn't that so like us?
52:01 Speaker 03 For three to five to $10 a month, we literally will do all that kind of stuff on Patreon. And we have merch. You know, we actually have a piece of merch that was voted on by the patrons that we made in real life. It's a set of AirPod headphones covers that say, "If these fuckers is empty, I'm listening to A O A O A O."
52:25 Speaker 05 So you gotta get on the Patreon, because I think that's pretty funny.
52:28 Speaker 03 Yeah, you guys are doing some funny stuff, and we're loving it, too.
52:32 Speaker 05 And we're loving it. Where are those hats from? They're from artistonartistonartist.com.
52:39 Speaker 03 That's right. We call this ad a two-for-one. Enjoy the rest of the ad.
52:47 Speaker 04 We got the whole cast of Stranger Things to get on Bird Scooters and go on a real squirrel loop-de-loop.
52:54 Speaker 05 Yes.
52:55 Speaker 04 That was fun.
52:56 Speaker 03 Oh, that way, and I mean, speaking of that, who could forget taping Alan coming to an office chair and pushing him onto a half-pipe? That was really fun.
53:04 Speaker 04 I want to talk about ramps, half-pipes, and engine work.
53:08 Speaker 06 We haven't hit it yet, but we should.
53:09 Speaker 04 Because sometimes we'll go, because remember the cocoa? All four of our ideas for the cocoa Postmates bot were so good. But then, at the end of the day, we couldn't Decide, so we went, put an engine on it and ramp it up. Sometimes we'll go, just put it on a ramp.
53:22 Speaker 05 Yeah.
53:23 Speaker 04 Put an engine on it.
53:24 Speaker 06 See what happens when it flies off a ramp.
53:25 Speaker 05 Because some of these are, you know, we, we have to switch back and forth often between prank mode and stunt mode. You see, because some of these are not necessarily, uh, um, an attack on another person. They are a cool thing to do with science.
53:41 Speaker 04 And will they land?
53:42 Speaker 06 How far can the human body be stretched? Will they land?
53:45 Speaker 04 Yeah.
53:46 Speaker 06 Or will it go so badly that they might get close to death?
53:48 Speaker 03 Exactly.
53:49 Speaker 04 And then sometimes we'll watch, like, we'll watch Johnny get on the Postmates Coco Bot and go through the ramp and land. And the, and the guys will laugh and we're, and we go, that still didn't really hit. So we'll be like, can someone do it naked?
54:01 Speaker 06 Yeah.
54:01 Speaker 04 And that usually pushes it over.
54:02 Speaker 06 It's either naked or at a bull.
54:04 Speaker 03 Yes.
54:04 Speaker 04 Yes, at a bull or naked.
54:06 Speaker 06 And sometimes we'll do both. Sometimes we'll do both.
54:08 Speaker 03 It's, it's very specific and interesting to talk about too, because we do test every stunt with clothes on and with clothes naked. And, and.
54:17 Speaker 06 The dummies, that's your favorite part.
54:18 Speaker 03 The dummies, of course. Well, I wouldn't say it's my favorite part, but I think what's very important is, and, and, and we have to talk about this. If we're, if we're really opening it up, if, you know, Johnny Knoxville is doing something naked, aerodynamically, I need to know what his genitals are gonna do. So we do have genital mockups.
54:35 Speaker 06 Anatomically correct.
54:37 Speaker 03 Anatomically correct mockups that I put on the dummies. And we see what those wieners do as, as we throw them across the room. It's just important to see.
54:45 Speaker 04 I work on those.
54:46 Speaker 06 You are handling those wieners kind of like a woman's fingers entering a tiramisu.
54:50 Speaker 03 Of course, lady fingers in a tiramisu, it's a pastry.
54:53 Speaker 04 It's disgusting.
54:53 Speaker 03 I need to show it to you later.
54:55 Speaker 04 I, I appreciate.
54:56 Speaker 06 I don't wanna see it.
54:58 Speaker 06 Whatever that is, I do not wanna see it.
55:00 Speaker 03 The genitals are safe. I keep them in my fridge next to all my Nas energy drinks. They're right there and, and they're fine.
55:06 Speaker 06 You have to keep them cool.
55:07 Speaker 05 You have to keep them cool.
55:09 Speaker 03 They're made of a very precious material.
55:11 Speaker 05 Well, of course, it's a very expensive material.
55:13 Speaker 04 We try 3D printing them.
55:15 Speaker 05 It's a rare metal. It's on the periodic table.
55:17 Speaker 03 And by the way, my office is right next to where they make the carburetors. And so the, it gets hot in that machine.
55:24 Speaker 04 I mean, come on.
55:25 Speaker 05 Of course. I mean, should we talk about our favorite? stunts recently. I really love skateboard half pipe hands both in fish tanks with one piranha in it.
55:37 Speaker 04 It's so good.
55:38 Speaker 05 And it is really such a delicate balance of being able to skateboard and having your hands not be eaten and munch munch munched by piranhas.
55:47 Speaker 04 Michaela, I loved that one because it reminded me of the stuff we did when I was younger. Like, like, like earlier stuff, like we're doing a lot of, we're playing with a lot of AI, we're playing with a lot of engines. Because we, we gotta like be in the new world, but then doing some just classic hand in a piranha. Is so like vintage jackass.
56:06 Speaker 06 AI can't touch this.
56:07 Speaker 04 No.
56:07 Speaker 06 AI actually can't invent these ideas because it's too, our brains are too broken.
56:12 Speaker 04 We are safe from that, which is nice.
56:13 Speaker 06 I'll go with one of my favorite classics. It's the simple, easy speedboat backflip. Really fun.
56:18 Speaker 04 That was great.
56:19 Speaker 05 Yeah, it's really clean, really simple.
56:22 Speaker 06 Can this people do a backflip?
56:23 Speaker 04 I really loved that we tried to make fire, having Johnny fart in a car with the heat, the seat warmers on.
56:32 Speaker 03 That was really fun.
56:33 Speaker 04 Trying to start a fire.
56:34 Speaker 05 Can we start a fire with just the seat warmers and a fart?
56:37 Speaker 04 This is, and it took a long time.
56:39 Speaker 03 It did, but it might be a surprise, didn't have that idea that morning. It kind of came on the fly. It was found in the moment.
56:46 Speaker 04 And we had Jeff Probst join for a Survivor collab.
56:49 Speaker 05 Yes, I remember. And, and now it's so awesome because the Boy Scouts of America are now using that technique in part of their camping. So in addition to the hot stones or the magnifying glass.
57:02 Speaker 06 It's amazing.
57:03 Speaker 05 Starting fires. They are teaching you to eat cheesy gordita crunches and sit on the car.
57:08 Speaker 04 And sit in that Tesla.
57:10 Speaker 03 I, I, I also loved Cheaper by the Cannon, which was one of my favorites where we put 12 people in a cannon and we shot them all at once.
57:18 Speaker 06 Yeah, at each other.
57:19 Speaker 03 At each other.
57:20 Speaker 06 See who'd win.
57:21 Speaker 03 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was six people in one cannon, six people in the other, and we pointed the cannons at each other and they shot them at each other.
57:25 Speaker 04 It was so funny.
57:26 Speaker 05 And there were, I mean, should we talk about safety? That, that does remind me because I, I mean, I know that some of us have strong opinions about helmets and knee pads and whether that cheapens the prank, whether it doesn't, you know, I think it is a nice thing to do for the actors. I think it's nice to have a helmet.
57:47 Speaker 04 It's my rule, Michaela, I'll say it. If he's putting a helmet on, I need to see ass or dick.
57:53 Speaker 03 Yeah.
57:54 Speaker 05 It's a trade off. If you're, that is, that is it.
57:56 Speaker 06 If there's one thing on, there's one thing off with mommy.
57:59 Speaker 05 It's the Coco Chanel rule. Before leaving the house. Take off one thing, right?
58:04 Speaker 04 And I said, if you want, if they want to wear an athletic cup, they don't get a cup on their head.
58:09 Speaker 03 You know, and I would love to bring this up too, because I'm having difficulty saying that to our new female cast.
58:17 Speaker 06 One thing on, one thing off.
58:19 Speaker 05 One thing on, one thing off.
58:20 Speaker 03 It's funny to say to Johnny, right?
58:22 Speaker 04 And it makes you wonder why SAG wants us to bring in an intimacy coordinator.
58:26 Speaker 03 This is not intimate.
58:27 Speaker 04 This isn't Bridgerton.
58:29 Speaker 05 This is not intimate.
58:29 Speaker 04 This isn't Bridgerton.
58:30 Speaker 03 This isn't Bridgerton. This is someone's dick flying over a mini golf course.
58:35 Speaker 04 That's a castmate.
58:37 Speaker 03 Landing in a cup. Absolutely.
58:38 Speaker 05 Well, I mean, the great thing about having a female cast member is now we get to do mammogram machine pranks. Which is interesting.
58:45 Speaker 04 It's just mammogram after mammogram after mammogram.
58:48 Speaker 05 After mammogram, mammogram on a moving train.
58:50 Speaker 04 I love ya.
58:51 Speaker 05 It's, you know, it's a painful machine. It's a crazy machine. It's sort of a medieval torture device.
58:56 Speaker 04 We have a fun theme song.
58:57 Speaker 06 Yeah, we have a theme song.
58:58 Speaker 04 All that baby mammogram. All that baby mammogram. All that baby mammogram.
59:04 Speaker 06 Alright, so to finish up. That was really fun. Finish up, should we just list all our favorite pranks we've ever done?
59:11 Speaker 05 Yeah.
59:11 Speaker 03 Yeah.
59:12 Speaker 04 Let's do it.
59:12 Speaker 06 Okay, I'll start. Snakeboard. Skateboard that's made of snakes.
59:15 Speaker 05 Oh, that's good.
59:17 Speaker 04 Classic.
59:20 Speaker 05 Bee fishbowl. Fishbowl on the head, full of bees.
59:22 Speaker 06 You love fishbowls.
59:27 Speaker 06 I'd like to be honest, I've never seen a fishbowl used.
59:30 Speaker 04 Love fishbowl stuff. You love fishbowl stuff.
59:33 Speaker 05 What? What? I love it. I love it.
59:36 Speaker 06 It's kind of Timmy Turner coded.
59:37 Speaker 04 Let's do some mammogram ones, because we got some good ones this season.
59:41 Speaker 05 Of course.
59:41 Speaker 04 We got a guy dressed up like a mammogram and he goes.
59:45 Speaker 06 He's a polygram.
59:46 Speaker 05 Human mammogram machine, yes.
59:47 Speaker 04 You have to put the titties in his hand.
59:48 Speaker 03 Manogram.
59:49 Speaker 05 Manogram.
59:50 Speaker 06 There it is. There it is.
59:53 Speaker 06 There it is.
59:53 Speaker 05 We have that optioned as a movie as well, so we are thinking about that.
59:58 Speaker 03 We have Taylor Lautner, both of them, laying on beds that are actually skateboards.
1:00:05 Speaker 04 We made it work. We made a house a skateboard.
1:00:09 Speaker 06 Yeah, house skateboard.
1:00:11 Speaker 05 House skateboard.
1:00:12 Speaker 04 House skateboard.
1:00:13 Speaker 05 Not a mobile home. It is something.
1:00:15 Speaker 04 No, different.
1:00:16 Speaker 05 Something else.
1:00:17 Speaker 06 We have surfing US pain. You're surfing, but you're attached to tasers. And every time you catch a wave, you have to survive the tasers. Worse in water, would you believe it?
1:00:26 Speaker 04 Would ya?
1:00:27 Speaker 03 Speaking of worse in water, we have Ex-Lax scuba suit. That's a tough one.
1:00:30 Speaker 05 That's tough.
1:00:31 Speaker 06 Tough one to watch.
1:00:32 Speaker 04 Tough one to watch. Speaking of water, we're putting a jet ski in the biggest condom in the world and seeing how far it can go.
1:00:38 Speaker 06 Yeah, see how far it can go. Just to see. You would not believe how far this jet ski goes.
1:00:44 Speaker 04 We want to see.
1:00:44 Speaker 05 We are doing a syringe full of Gatorade just to see what it does to the human body. We are injecting it via needle.
1:00:53 Speaker 04 We're putting a taxi on the LA River just to see what it does.
1:00:59 Speaker 03 We got a naughty wheel pottery class where the water is lube and the clay is poop.
1:01:06 Speaker 06 We got, um, Steve-O will be in a sumo suit and 1,400 first graders will have bats with nails in them.
1:01:21 Speaker 05 We got dick puller. That is a claw machine that pulls your dick as far as it can go. And once you freak out, it's over.
1:01:30 Speaker 04 Yeah. Speaking of that, we have dick choir.
1:01:36 Speaker 06 Oh, dick choir.
1:01:37 Speaker 05 Dick choir. It's beautiful.
1:01:40 Speaker 04 It's a bunch of dicks singing. And we're going to have a couple old ladies come in for choir rehearsal and see what happens.
1:01:50 Speaker 03 We're having all the boys wear those, uh, those, those devices that simulate pregnancy cramps. And then we're having them do one of those indoor surfing lessons.
1:02:03 Speaker 06 We have old people orgy. We put the whole cast in old person makeup and make them hook up in the middle of Echo Park and see what people say.
1:02:10 Speaker 04 That's fun. We're putting an aura ring in Johnny Knoxville's anus and seeing if it had a good night's rest.
1:02:18 Speaker 05 We're doing a human chrysalis where you put a human man into the same fluid that a caterpillar sleeps in before it becomes a butterfly, just to see what happens to him.
1:02:28 Speaker 03 Johnny Knoxville is, I can't spoil this entirely, but I will say he's doing a character that he's hoping will get him detained by ice. I'm sorry to tell you. I think it's a bad idea. I think it's a mistake.
1:02:42 Speaker 04 It can't go.
1:02:43 Speaker 05 It's a bad idea.
1:02:44 Speaker 03 I think it can't go.
1:02:44 Speaker 05 Well, we never said this was anything correct.
1:02:49 Speaker 03 This is bad.
1:02:50 Speaker 04 We never said it was correct.
1:02:51 Speaker 03 I'm nervous about that one for Johnny.
1:02:53 Speaker 06 Ice, Ice Spicy, we've added some ice cubes with the hottest peppers in the world to uh, someone's drink.
1:03:04 Speaker 04 To someone's drink. We're working with the Hot Ones, guys.
1:03:07 Speaker 06 Oh, yes. We prank the Hot Ones guy.
1:03:09 Speaker 03 That's actually what's funny. That's kind of a reverse prank. We did a Hot Ones thing with Sean Evans, where we gave Johnny Knoxville 10 very mild wigs. And so he didn't, he
1:03:19 Speaker 06 He was like, what's the problem here?
1:03:21 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:03:22 Speaker 03 And then everyone else, Sean Evans was like, whoo, hot! And then he thought, he was like, is something wrong with my tongue?
1:03:28 Speaker 05 We're doing Fog Machine Butt Chug. That's where you go to a haunted house and you butt chug a fog machine.
1:03:34 Speaker 06 Yeah.
1:03:34 Speaker 05 See if it comes out the mouth is the goal.
1:03:37 Speaker 04 We taught a lizard to play rock, paper, scissors with Johnny Knoxville's dick, and that'll be fun.
1:03:42 Speaker 05 The lizard was very good.
1:03:44 Speaker 06 Really good. Thank you guys so much for listening. Catch the new Jackass movie soon. We'll see you guys.
1:03:52 Speaker 04 We worked so hard on it. I truly, there's a lot, every single, every single stunt and trick you see, imagine maybe at least six months of practicing on that and crash dummies with that. And every single thing has full heart. I mean, we go home to our families at the end of the day after working on these tricks and we I think I made the best one today. Every day is like that. And every day is like that. And I hope I put food on the table for my kids by thinking of this stuff, you know?
1:04:20 Speaker 05 Yeah, thank you. I just want to say thank you again to my parents for having sex so that I could be here today and talk about everything. This has been a wonderful, wonderful experience with you guys and I truly believe this is the best team in Hollywood.
1:04:33 Speaker 04 I'm so grateful and I want to shout out Dr. Fauci, who taught me everything I know about dicks. I couldn't do the work without you.
1:04:39 Speaker 03 And dummies, if you're still watching, go to bed.

1:07:02 Speaker 06 She's been thinking about this sleepover all week, but I think about her food allergies all the time. Fortunately, her doctor prescribes Zolair, omalizumab. It's proven to significantly reduce allergic reactions if a food allergy accident happens. Zolair 150mg is a prescription medication used to treat food allergy in people one year of age and older to reduce allergic reactions due to accidental exposure to one or more foods. While taking Zolair, you should continue to avoid all foods to which you are allergic. Don't use if you are allergic to Zolair. Zolair may cause a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Tell your doctor if you ever had anaphylaxis. Get help right away if you have trouble breathing or if you have swelling of your throat or tongue. Zolair should not be used for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Zolair is for maintenance use to reduce allergic reactions,
1:07:45 Speaker 06 including anaphylaxis, while avoiding food allergens. Serious side effects such as cancer, fever, muscle aches and rash, parasitic infection or heart and circulation problems have been reported. Please see zolair.com for full prescribing information. Ask an allergist about Zolair. This is an advertisement for Zolair paid for by Genentech and Novartis.
