I find that and then I buy that and I know that everything in that pack is as good as the Andalusian Bull or better. And I get like five cigars that I've never tried before.

Congratulations on the last version of Jackass. Thank you. I watched it this morning in bed, and they got me a screener. And it is so bizarre. yeah that that very first scene is so bizarre it's oh are you talking about the handgun yeah yeah yeah it is so do you know i mean i i don't know if you remember this but we met a long time ago yeah uh when i was doing commercials for espn i was going across the country for the x games meeting all the athletes but we stopped in
florida to meet rolling stone's biggest partier in the nation and that was you yep and then i did notice like when you first started making it and it made me so happy like you yeah i was like wow i met that guy a long time ago you just worked your ass off from like that until like you have a wonderful standup career. And that made me happy. Can I tell you, I had the exact same feeling. Did you remember me though from then or no, probably not?
So much. So it's a little storied, but so that was like the only thing legitimately I did out of the Rolling Stone was that ESPN commercial. They gave me like a day rate. I hung out in your tour bus with you. And do you remember who the other actor was?
beautiful jason he's the guy who in the self-defense equipment he it was his house he let me do it there and then when we did the gun i believe he was supposed to shoot me but we get out there he's like i'm not fucking shooting you yeah and so he had to operate the camera very poorly by the way
I mean, this is, but this is before any, like nowadays all of us know composition. So like everyone holds the subject in the center of frame, not too much headroom. You are in the fucking corner of that shot. You have to see the jackass best and last is if you're a jackass fan, which every single man that is below 50 years old is a diehard ride or die fan. It's going to be your favorite jackass.
Oh, thank you.
It is such an homage. I cried at the end. I feel like I have so much I want to say, but I'm going to go back to 1997. 1997, I meet you at the Lambda Chi house. It's the first sketch you were doing. you had your tour bus and you you and beautiful jason espn's tour bus espn but no but you brought me on and you were like let's bring i wanna and we smoked weed you asked if i could find the lotted i'd never heard of the lotted before and you showed me a video that i think of all the time of kids trying to knock themselves out with an empty beer bottle
