Jeff Tremaine

They are doing FAFO shit.

Imagine being the Jeff Tremaine of Hamas where you just film the whole thing and you're like, dude,

that was sick.

You're like, no, stop going for my

I had this incredible element of adventure and excitement for me that I could use it to explore the world and take this event anywhere.

And yeah, you know and at the same time i'm sort of mid-20s at this point and having to pay the bills and start a career and um so it kind of organically really happened that i had to really kind of organize the next event to to keep the money coming in um and during that second year's rally this group of friends of mine or a couple of them that i had known for a few years johnny knoxville in particular um and the director of jackass called jeff tremaine we would sort of uh we'd known each other and known of each other through the action sports world through skateboarding and BMX riding.

Um, particularly Jeff Tremaine was a sort of an editor of a, well is involved in the BMX world and the skateboard world before Jackass.

So we'd had that sort of relationship and they'd started filming, um, Jackass in the U S and they'd got into some issues with, uh, uh, MTV insuring them.

Um, to do their crazy stunts or whatever sketches they were setting up.

It was for Bud Light.

It was directed by Jeff Tremaine, who was the creator of Jackass.

So I was like his advertising creative director.

And it was for the 2014 Super Bowl.

You get to see some of the worst behavior.

And you know who it reminded me of? Is Jeff Tremaine of Jackass.

Oh, God.

Anytime I've ever...

Like, I'm a man of a certain age.

And I, you know, I've gone up and down with that because, much like Neil Young, when you look schematically at what is occurring and you see the back, you know, the behind-the-scenes footage, you know, the .5 movies or even just some of the additional stuff...

You're watching, you know, Johnny Knoxville to some degree, but really Jeff Tremaine.

You get to see a real bullying impulse, right? Which is, it's 15-year-old behavior, you know what I mean? Like, the behavior of a 15-year-old, but blown up to a multi-million dollar hammer.

[laughs] [upbeat music] Hello, my name is Johnny Knoxville.

I'm Jeff Tremaine.

And this is Jackass: The Podcast or The Jackass Podcast.

[laughs] Jackass: The Podcast, right? Jackass: The Podcast.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

This podcast is a production of HeadGum and was created by me, Johnny Knoxville.

And me, Jeff Tremaine.

Our producers are Shannon Zablow Newton and Jennifer Welsh, with production support from Ally Conn and Cecilia Michaud.

I got a legend in the house right now.

The, the amazing Jeff Tremaine.

What up, dude?

What's happening?

Yeah, yeah.

And so, uh, Ruben Fleischer, who's the director, uh, I didn't know him at the time, but he did that Gumball with Rob and Big, and really realized these two are the story.

So he just filmed them in their car, and they, they did Gumball together, and after that he's like, "We can make a TV show out of this." And so he, they came to me, he, um, Rob's like, "I know Jeff Tremaine.

Like, we can do it." Like, and so they know me.
