Time to shoot myself in the chest while wearing a bulletproof vest.

Well, when the only magazine, like a few magazines around town wanted that article, but none of them, they wanted to treat it as a negative pickup.

Come see us after you're done.

And then we'll, the only magazine who would help me like buy the stun gun, the taser gun.

I bought the bulletproof vest with money my mom gave me for Christmas that year.

was the editor of Big Brother Magazine, Jeff Tremaine, who is now the director of Jackass.

And he had a skateboarding magazine owned by Larry Flint.

And right before I was writing, I said, how about if I write the article?

And Jeff goes, why don't you film it at the same time for our skate video?

I'm like, okay.

And that's what happened.

And of course, I went to the... He's like, I'll have Dimitri go with you to film it, who is now the director of photography.

Of Jackass.

Right.

And I pull up that morning and I'm like, get in.

And he goes, here's the camera.

This is play.

This is pause.

It's got film in it.

I'm like, you're not shooting it?
