grateful to have them here today [Music] [Music] i'll sit and tell you my stories [Music] [Applause] you got to do some of those mexican shows man the mexican shows like uh what's that show with those four people colin out in the valley somewhere it's like two mexican kids and a um chinese person you don't talk about it in a vietnamese person they speak english though right yeah yeah yeah everybody speaks english it's good oh it's like something i literally did a mexican game show there you go it was pretty insane oh there you go that's they're not they're speaking spanish in that right but the whole country's again so you got to jump over world wide but it was like it was like this giant it's like a brother's thing that you had to throw these balls down they bounced and they were hitting the audience and stuff it was crazy man i want to do that why don't they do that here i want to throw giant balls of people it's because of the different legislation i think you know like certain countries you can uh i mean the rules are definitely different on who can die skateparks when i was a kid they just built giant boat ramps and put them in a [ __ ] park in here the only person that had giant vote ramp is some pro dude that's got all the insurance and [ __ ] rich guys sorry i don't mean to point at you dude and you might not have any money anymore i don't know but there was a time i might have to sell my ramp for scraps and wouldn't it be crazy we walk up on him in winter and he's like making firewood out of his last ramp you know to stay warm that'd be a really sad day no that thing's here to stay oh good i'm glad man um yeah thank you guys for coming in man i appreciate it dude it's good to see you again you know and thank you for you know whenever i was just uh really kind of catching a break in comedy you brought me onto your serious so a couple times oh really that was what that because i didn't realize you hadn't already i didn't think i had a i've i heard you on opie and anthony i i told you and was like holy [ __ ] this guy's the funniest guy i've ever heard on radio that's what how long ago it was and i was like get him on my show and then sure enough he just you know i'm like he didn't know it yet but he's like an amazing i was like you could [ __ ] take over any are you saying you gave him his big break no not at all he i'm saying he was already you're kind of saying that he helped him he helped hammer the crack i think everybody already knew though i don't think i was let me show you [ __ ] theo vaughn everybody everyone like did you on the o a show it wasn't it wasn't you weren't well it was just opie at that point and you're but you're sorry your show had a big all your no you definitely given me like a a nod of confidence it was like you and simon rex kind of did it at the same time and that was i think really helpful so [ __ ] it so thanks man i appreciate it i never really kind of thanked you for that wow uh amazing what's going on so you guys are up to this [ __ ] now huh sorry we started we started at siriusxm yeah before my show that's how i got it oh okay he got me on okay yeah and then we were doing that for a while and then he went off to somewhat greener pastures and started being the voice of the channel we were on for the most part and then i kept doing the podcast and then i was just kind of getting buried in there what do you think you were missing like when he wasn't there was there something that you felt like you were missing um yeah definitely a a a edgier comedy i would say yes which wasn't good at the time it was it was pretty raw and we i had a lot of i had a lot of kids listening because it was oh yeah it was different very much still skating and we were doing video games and they wanted to hear about that and play music and then this guy would bring yeah very unfiltered but it was hilarious um but then um but then like i said we just just kind of fizzled out and then he started podcasting and and i hit him up and i said maybe we should try something and so we started trying it and it it kind of clicked and it's been fun yeah it feels fun it feels fun to watch you guys i try to think when i when i watch i feel like um yeah i feel like you guys have a comfort level with each other there's a real earnestness that comes out of you a lot that i think creates this makes you kind of be the same way i don't know i haven't watched a ton but from what i've seen it's uh it seems like like a new little not like a marriage but like a new little like okay no it's good it's spring time at the house yeah you gave me a key to the ramp the other day and i i thought it was just as good as an engagement ring to me what's happening for sure to escape ramp to my ramp okay so yeah is it like you know you said only rich guys have their own ramps yeah yeah yeah it's a total rich guy and it also has a lock out front of it that definitely it's in a warehouse oh it is although someone broke in the other night stole some camera gear oh i thought they just skated no skating just i know i was kind of hoping that too just waiting hey what are you doing well you gave l's a key you didn't give me one somebody broke my phone somebody broke in here too actually soul cameras yeah all right oh yeah it must be that time of year maybe the holidays people are looking you know to give cameras out or something well they they were going around the building trying to get into different doors and finally got into the door that just happened to be by a camera that was set up oh yeah that's a game show for criminals i feel like they just walk into a building and it's like yeah if he had gotten the other door open he would have had uh a piece of the of the loop oh the loop ramp is all set up over there that would have been hard that would be hard to steal on a win i was going to say and what would you do like if theo stole the loop what would you do i've gotten hurt nothing the first i'd probably take it to canada or australia where people would freaking mount somebody you could sell it for big money over there i think but how do you i mean how do you get it there yeah shipping i don't know canada maybe you could drive it through in a truck yeah but australia no got hawks loot can you imagine trying to get through trying to get just get rid of it yeah yeah who watch what i'm saying you want a loop yeah like hey kid you want to die i got the device like just just set this thing up and go down that road and you'll be dead in a minute like no problem yeah bro this path has fentanyl in it yeah the suicide loop the loop just takes people out yeah i mean it's i i did it and it was one of the most painful terrifying experiences of my skateboard career really it was hard work for sure some people get it a little easier but i was already on my way out doing radio and not skateboarding all the time and he was like we're setting up the loop and i was like well [ __ ] if you're calling me that's it's a it's a prestige you know to do the loop i think you've done like 10 people had done it and i was like well this is an opportunity for me to and all americans all white like whites all women oh who was it who all had done it you want the demographics everything everything oh yeah yeah i'm not judging i don't know you haven't seen this would i be frustrated i've never been asked that question am i the first gay guy i'm the only i believe so yeah oh yeah there you go what lizzie armando was the first female right oh wow okay and then uh felipe nunez did it with uh no legs he he has no legs a little bit though don't you think no it was so hard for us to get the speed for him we had to build an extension on the starting ramp for him look at it is that it the actual yeah well it's pretty gnarly dude like when you get on this charlie this is uh um tom sharra got broke off here it's like being in the dryer for a really couple seconds yeah yeah but you can't lose where you are if you do that you're dead what do you look at when you go into the line oh look at the line he's got a line in the middle of it and you follow the line because especially if you're if you've got skateboarding in your in your background when you get to the upside down part you want to look back because that's what you usually do you're going you're usually turning around oh yeah so you got to not look back and keep looking at this line and it just doesn't seem right so you you want to do that little lean and then that makes you do this twisty thing and you eat [ __ ] well i'm just trying to say because i never now it's a lot more diverse when i was young it was like white dudes who had been who were about to fight their stepfather were the ones who were skateboarding yeah i hated those guys yeah yeah i got that's how that's how i became me talking about jason i mean okay maybe i grew up with those guys i had to like you know i got approval after many years of hard work and you know humiliation and and you know they just they destroy you and call you a pile of [ __ ] and throw your board in the trash one time i made checkers i told this story but i made checkers inside checkers with the grip tape on the board so it took like oh a couple days oh yeah because i've got a lot of school doing that it had to be perfect and i'm not very like good with like art and [ __ ] my i got big dumb hands so it took forever so i got checkers and checkers on this board and i show up like [ __ ] christian or soy boy with checkers and checkers i'm like get the i'm the [ __ ] sickest dude yeah out here and i get on the ramp and this dude that's now my friend zach reynolds he goes what the [ __ ] is that [ __ ] and just grabs it off me and throws it in the trash can oh and but i just grabbed it out of the trash can and kept skating because that's how it goes it happened all the time yeah and now they're nice to me well it only took like page yeah 30 years now it's like man how's it looking good in the states jason send us a t-shirt i'm like i'm not sending you [ __ ] jason get stuffed we had uh i'm trying to think if we had a lot of skateboarding aria we had one dude jumped off the shonies one time on a board and uh what's a shoney it's a shony's it's like a place where you get food it's like a denny's yeah it's like a denny's but it's off the roof roof yeah but he hit a buick all the saber and can you pull up a little saber daddy wait while it was moving no no no still a savior oh yeah wait he didn't see not ate it properly i think he didn't plan ahead really yeah i think some people think when you're going off a roof you're going to be able to jump but i think the angle you oh i see he just went straight down eliminates that he hit a maroon one too that's a good look yeah not a bag i mean it was a cool but anyway yeah he like shattered his neck or whatever which i didn't think you could shatter like your neck's already kind of in like different pieces i feel like so it's like to sh you know but they said he shattered his neck but he wore a neck brace forever after that it's an interesting theory on your neck uncharterable they don't shatter because there's pieces in there that's an interesting theory is all i'm saying they're already perforated i mean yeah i mean we're not doctors on this side of the table but what the [ __ ] there you can shatter you can shatter pretty much anything it doesn't seem like i speak from experience shattering seems like it like a hard word to use for the neck but i don't know what's a what's what is something that most people what's the first thing most people break down skateboarding uh ankles wrists yeah yeah whipping off put your hands oh it's so scary wheeled things have always super super scared me i don't like uh i don't even like being in a car if if it's in neutral and it's off like i don't do well on anything that has like loose just like has the ability to be loose under it you know your commitment is just gonna take off i think i just don't trust the anything gravity just me in between me and the earth i probably don't even trust gravity i'm very non-committal um what about this right here this is a fellow sent something in is this decent what's up theo uh jason and tony uh it's louie here from australia razor blades baby what um if you say rise rise up lights real fast rise up lights it sounds like razor blades in australia okay rise up lights razor blades no rise up lights yeah but i'm saying this the australian thing i see yeah you do razor blades then i'll do go rise up lights razor blades rise up lights razor blades razor blades rise of light let's just keep doing that and then that's a podcast razor blades razor blades rise up light sigma yeah okay anyway so obviously theo uh jason and tony uh it's louie here from australia razor blades baby um just want to know what you boys are tony and jason what's the the gnarliest injury you guys have seen in skateboarding uh whether it be professional or just down at the skate park on the ramp um anyway cheers fellas gang gang baby cheers baby that guy's from another country that happens sometimes well i guess now with all the new rules seen have people died uh well there's beyond people have died yes not and i'm not barren i have not been witness to that no thankfully um but i i well the worst that i the worst i had was broken pelvis and i fractured my skull and broke my thumb all at the same time so you're gonna do it do it big right [ __ ] you're half a mummy at that point but i was but i wasn't i was knocked out so it wasn't like i was witnessing all this it makes it easier right what's that yeah a little bit but i i want to say like the worst the worst thing you say i saw a dude break his arm here and then his arm was just dangling and like dangling behind him that's pretty cool like it was just flopping around that was pretty heavy i smashed my i fractured my wrist i broke my wrist and i popped my elbow out of the back of my arm like compound fracture when i was 16 and i was gonna i was about to get on a plane to go back to melbourne and i was like we'll just skate to skate park near the airport and then i fell and that thing came out that was it was good that i was young because i just went into shock and then they gave they give you a whistle in australia you suck on a whistle for what if you need help nah it's got heroin in it yeah what yeah well whatever it's got whatever morphine or whatever you know oh boy huh it's got the he's like suck on the whistle and then you realize when you suck on it that it's it's got heroin in it and then you suck that [ __ ] yeah yeah and then they take the whistle off you're like no give me the whistle back yeah yeah i'd be fine crossing guard in a half hour i'd [ __ ] just be bringing a [ __ ] lord across the street son whistles are good yeah that's insane i had that dope whistle over there man yeah i've never heard of that yeah that's the thing i think it seems like you guys dynamic is that you're gonna somehow you would seem like you would know so much but you're gonna learn a lot from them oh yeah i just don't know if it's good or not no i gotta filter which parts yeah yeah it's always it's always enlightening and it's always entertaining yeah um yeah and we we try to keep it family-ish friendly yeah yeah i got a jason ella show to get real yeah oh yeah yeah yeah so yeah there's been a couple times where his stories went crossed over once again okay yeah maybe you would understand like every now and then at a certain place where it might not be might not be super appropriate to go deep into your own head because you're pretty gross you know yeah i mean i've been involved in some stuff that's probably not you know stuff you would talk about with someone's mom or something if you just met them sure right so i feel like we all have yeah yeah yeah yeah so that's more his brand oh yeah yeah he definitely my penis is involved in a lot yeah so i keep that out of the hawk versus wolf yeah yeah it almost seems like your opinion is like you're its parole officer that's what it sounds like a lot of times now i do argue with it a lot yeah sometimes it feels like it's missed a court date or two it kind of he's in trouble he's in trouble right now actually what um jason i know that you love uh mma and uh and skateboarding i know that that's part of your uh your past and fighting is something you just love to do you know uh competition is there uh was there ever a a skateboarder or somebody like a ramp man or something that you uh that you would wouldn't want to tangle with or that was like somebody who was like a real badass that was like what's this dude doing skating this guy should be fighting i never wanted to fight i don't like fighting i don't like the the the argument or where people are heated i'm not into that at all i've never been into that like if i have to defend myself because i've been in bad situations so instinctually i if you're going to corner me then i'm going to go because i know what the other the other side of that is like if you don't defend yourself you just get [ __ ] kicked and i'm not going to let that happen ever again yeah so there's that but i don't like the fight fight thing and in skateboarding people are either really short or maybe tall and skinny but it's not a good it doesn't help to be kind of bulky um so it's kind of like it's kind of like comedy all right you know with the holidays i find sometimes i get distracted discouraged and i'll you know some people even feel depressed during the holidays and you know because there's so much cheer in the air and they maybe feel well i'm not having any cheer well that can be uh that can be adjusted you know and something that can help adjust it is um is better help better help b e t t e r h e l you can start communicating with a real

bulky you don't see a lot of bulky comics the only real one is joe rogan but he's a bit short yeah that's a good point he's a bit short because in skateboarding he you can be a bit bulky and be his height if you're like six foot and bulky skateboards barely hold me oh like they the tail flexes out if i get a little too thick i can't go hard you can't really get that fluid style either if you were if you were bigger and bulkier you know it would just it would feel more forced there was one other guy tom boyle oh what happened to him he passed away recently actually oh everybody's dying i know but uh he was an amazing skateboarder and he was jack he was he was pretty thick dude yeah i guess have there ever had jamie foy is like breaking all the rules who's that jamie foy's street skater oh who's this he's bigger and he's he's he's one of the best like jamie you ask kids you bring him up brother f-o-i-e f-o-y-o um he's amazing like that and you you see him just like that's not a typical skater who's that greyhound out there who's that thick daddy that's out there they got any big dogs that get out on the board there was a guy that tried to drop in my ramp yeah you want to see something heavy yeah literally heavy yeah put oh here's jamie foy jimmy james insane he's he's seriously like he's one of the best skaters right now this guy yeah he's not jacked no nice jack just bigger like he's he's a bigger dude there we go oh yeah he's a little thick huh look at that oh yeah where you going like he's slanging breasts skateboarding for i know for a fact if you're bigger it's the fall that's hot yeah yeah i'd be good at skateboarding if i wasn't such a [ __ ] dude i'd be good at it i bet so there's not hand feet coordination i think i would have really if i could have really focused on it it seems like it takes a lot of real focus in a strange way yeah i don't know what's the best element to be a skateboarder like what is the thing i never given up really because you got to do it over and over again sometimes it seems impossible but if you go enough all of a sudden you can but there's so many different elements too that that you could be good at so you can kind of focus in on well i'm really good at doing these types of flip tricks yeah and and getting them into grinds and stuff and that can just be your whole brand yeah and then other people are like they just fly they fly out of our ramps and they're just that's true thing and everyone loves to see them fly and that's good enough right um some people have a little bit of all of it but then some are like high like you know if you look at nigel houston just precision technical like beyond any olympian wow he looks like a video game yeah he yeah yeah it's like the board when it's not he's still with him oh wow yeah sometimes you see people like that that start to change the way that things are done like patrick mahomes kind of changes the quarterback position you're like oh i didn't think that this could even be played differently yeah and then it seems like he just plays the game differently or at a speed that looks totally new for some reason whether it's faster or slower than what's been done what about that thick dog who is the big guy he's known as big boy yeah literally and he used to be a skater this is a good sleep skating in orange county uh-huh and uh he was making waves because he does a lot of weight lifting stuff he's he's big dude oh he's like yeah yeah yeah crazy like five people he looks like five people but he started to he started to reach like if he had a big [Laughter] in a pajama suit he had a clip that went viral doing a kick flip or something or an ollie and everyone was just like dude i was like you know and you could tell that he had already had the skate skills but he's gotten big yeah and then he re so then he started hit me up like man i want to drop in on your ramp and i was like yeah you might want to work your way up to it yeah because everything that i saw him riding was maybe four to five feet my gram's 14 feet but you let him in yep yeah it accommodates on his ass yeah and uh he came in he came in hot he was not going to take the time to figure it out he just wanted to go yeah boy when you thick i think you life's short you find that you got to go quick interesting just look up tony hawk big boy you got him let's see him oh damn huh yeah dude somebody is that tattoo or did somebody graffiti on him that dude he had a nap and somebody graffitied him yeah what if somebody just tagged him up yeah there you go in arizona for an hour so watch him he would not hesitate or take direction he just said i'm going i'm committing what oh what that was awesome that was a tease that's how they do it wow they did a great job youtube man oh i feel taking advantage i almost feel like all right we fell for it so this is this is his warm-up that ramp's about six feet not a good idea and i kept telling him like you got it you got to bend your knees more because you're straightening his straightening his legs too much yeah he looks like the singer on a cruise line kind of i don't know yeah he looks like somebody was waiting bar on a cruise and so when he got to the top of the vert ramp i said all right you just got to bend your knees you know connect to the wall first he's like all right so just commit i said that's not what i said oh yeah yeah at all oh yes dude oh damn boy yeah he's not going hard oh yeah but it's fun to watch though that's ryan sheckler helping him out really yeah here we go you had everybody there oh damn is it okay to laugh and you all see where oh yeah yeah wow i mean that's what it looks like that's usually when people get knocked out and so i thought that was it but he made some crazy sounds that was brave he got that gingerbread bill he built like that little gingerbread man yeah you know he looks like a gingerbread man they just got out of san quentin but he was he was super cool about it and he still hit me up since then like yo man i want to come back for it so is it is that like your it's almost like that's your vagina like if somebody drops in on your ramp is it kind of have that sort of feel to it like is it like all dudes trying to get in there it sounds like you're not saying it he's the only guy like nobody it would be it would be i would come down every time if you were like hey i got like five guys that are all trying to come down today i'll be there in a minute nobody i mean there are there are a handful of people that come and that's their directive and and for whatever reason i'll let them go but it's more that people want to come to skate my ramp because they sleep right the guy that owns liquid death he came oh yeah and he's talking and i just met him and he's like yeah we're talking and he's like we're going out into the ram i'm like you're going to escape i didn't know he could skate he could skate out a mini ramp at liquid death nail and he can skate wow but skating a mini ramp and skating his ramp is two different things two different animals and we're talking chit-chatting i'm skating and i guess he's on the deck and i'm like if you're on the deck you can skate yeah this you don't get the deck the top of the ramp yeah yeah so he's up there hanging out and then i guess he'd drop in and i didn't i wasn't watching i figured everybody could drop in no big deal so i see out of the corner of my eye right when he drops in and if he would have been so [ __ ] but he him had it yeah so i didn't know it was scary it was scary i just every time i see i saw him the other day at liquid death and i was like dude that drop in like i can't forget it's like a trick in itself because he should have died what if he drowned always think what if the liquid death got drowned and it was just like what in everybody literally that's how he went out oh he drowned yeah i thought he meant like joanne i've thought about it at least probably five six times i bet dude cause i think cause that segway dude went off that mountain member he was stunned and he bought the segways and he bought the company and then he [ __ ] did one right off the mountain yeah because you don't know enough about the vert fam wow you know you got to drop in different dude i think right yes but how many dudes are in your dms be like hey let me get up in that ramp you know that's what i feel like it would be old but but it's like i said it's mostly people that know how to skate ramps okay it's not it's not just a big influx of people like i want to jump in on that thing yeah let me hit that yeah and and i've seen it go yeah let me see there's a couple they would know if they if you go there like you could talk but then when you go there and stand on the top of it yeah you know you don't just you don't let me you don't let anybody just no one's gonna just go go have it you won't go you heard the slow-mo guys um so the youtube show these guys do crazy stuff in in high definition slow mo like really high-speed cameras and they came and they wanted to shoot me doing a trick which we did and then one of the hosts was like hey i wanna i wanna try this and then that became the thing he clearly was not ready for it and took a slam worse than big boy like his feet missed the board when he went in you just dove to the bottom oh there you go is that is that it oh these goons would get boiled bro look at these clowns so the guy on the right oh what they're going to do this bro i think this might be the one where i'm it's they did they did two segments on when they came so are they really wearing those like for a joke or are they no that's their that's their vibe okay oh bro i've had i've cleared stronger things out of my throat than these dudes so this is this this video was just my trick oh so it's like super high speed i did a heel flip melon body burial of course dude um you love that trick right theo uh of course bro my cousin had a lobotomy 6 67. but anyway that dude fell and he um wow that's cool that dude fell and broke his wrist oh sorry mate and when he hit he farted so bad yeah no way when we came to check on him we're like oh dude he didn't [ __ ] his pants i i don't know he might have shitty pants you could shoot your pants on it he was so stunned he was so stunned that his homies shoot happens you uh oh yeah dude i've [ __ ] i mean yeah i've actually off way less than this oh yes dude come on you can just tell it's not gonna work right like don't do it dude oh god he's oh man he's just yeah he knows he's already stalled too long he knows and he broke his wrist and he fought it the whole time he was fighting could you hear it or not no no when we walked over to it was like oh did he [ __ ] his pants that's the last healthy part of him being like i'm out of this [ __ ] clown that's the ghost of his manliness flying out of his ass bro if you [ __ ] cooked out like right dude all his heart and courage is in his fancy right now yeah they might have left before he hit he looked like he was pretty scared before he went in look at you smiling dude that's great well it was it was you know the whole thing was supposed to be just my trick and then this became the highlight of the whole day i love how the other dude in the lab coat doesn't even [ __ ] help him bro you can't dress like a doctor and not do doctor [ __ ] a little at least cpr your homie dog yeah at least suck on his face for a second [ __ ] bring him back to life dude they got to try it again they need to do a rebuttal or whatever he didn't come back did anybody ever think you're daniel tosh ever no somewhere no tom green i used to get tom green when tom green's show was big on mtv people would think i was tom green oh that's interesting yeah um so what else is i thinking about dude uh who do people think you look like uh i used to get tom brady when i was a little bit younger and then now nobody really just you yeah just me or just they don't know who i am right hey what's up this is uh josh from toronto i'm just wondering uh this is a question for all of you guys uh whether you had any superstitions that you needed to do before performing especially early on when there was low stakes sometimes our anxiety makes us want to be in control and superstitions are a way of controlling things uh in the periphery of uncontrollable situations i don't know if that's true i made that up on the spot okay um thank you for your time again damn dude what he's getting deep he could be smart are you superstitious is that what the question was yeah i used to have i guess i had little things i did but like i put on my pads on left side first yeah i used to be crazy superstitious and then when i got let go uh from sirius i decided that all my uh didn't work yeah that all my superstition things obviously didn't [ __ ] work so because i wouldn't walk on cracks on the street i used to dodge cracks for like 10 years yeah and then and then i just decided what i got when i got fired that i i was going to never matter i was going to step on cracks i go underneath [ __ ] i go underneath uh ladders and [ __ ] everybody can eat a dick i hate it yeah i think it's funny when you're younger you do think like maybe things like that matter like way in the balance like little things like i'm racist swallowing different sides of my mouth for about maybe 15 years you know like i would swallow like even it out yeah just to eat it out just to keep the world even it was almost like a way of just like trying to keep the world even so that [ __ ] didn't get too haywire it was like maybe a control a mechanism um you guys ever have any stalkers you guys are having a good experience with stalkers i think both you guys have had at least one i don't have my miner i'm not famous i like like come on stalk me i would love attention yeah i'm a [ __ ] egotistical idiot everybody [ __ ] stalks me i think they stalk me and then i go hey you want to get coffee and they're like what the [ __ ] dude you're pretty pretty intense i think i'm gonna stalk tony hawk uh i i in the 80s in the 80s there was a girl that paid the front desk to tell her which room i was in so that she could get a room next to mine nice and then and then what but uh nothing happened she did knock on my door one time and then like it was sometime through the weekend she knocked on my door and then she did come in for a little bit nothing nothing happened but all of a sudden this slamming on the door came and i guess it was her boyfriend oh that guy that knew the whole scoop of what she was up to i'm just i'm just like i didn't even know that this girl had already done this i found this out later right and then the next day uh i'm getting in the elevator and the dude i didn't know it was him because i hadn't seen him and you all got in this he goes in the elevator and he looks at me and he's got a cast on no and why what happened to me and he's like sorry about slamming on your door last night broke my wrist oh idiot like i i was overreacting i'm sorry i was like and he apologized yeah well i guess he was drunk i feel sorry for that guy that was a that was an odd one yeah i was just sort of okay they don't i feel like they're well yeah what you got you got i kind of had that then yeah because girls are trying to sleep with me and usually they just can and it's fine but one time at ellis mania they had this fight called the strip fight where uh every 30 seconds we decide who won the 30 seconds and the the person that loses takes an item of close closing off until they're down to a g string in pasties so i just go regardless i go you lost you lost you lost you lost right now you're both naked fight yeah so then they fight and that's kind of the thing so one of the people you know dm me that they're they get fighters you're not allowed to know how to fight that's the whole point you're supposed to i'm terrified what is it like to fight and i go i'll hook you up in a fight where you get a real fight but you're not going to get really hurt okay joe rogan might disagree but it's a couple of shots yeah and if you look like you're in trouble we just call it we don't let you like bleed really cook out yeah you can't be grilling them out right so this girl's nice enough she does the fight awesome fight she looks great she's got a what i assume is a boyfriend but it's like uh everyone has this uh you're allowed to bring a coach or whatever or or just a plus one so you got a man over there helping her out a little later yeah so there's after party and i got this big room with all this [ __ ] at the hard rock and she's hanging out and she's asking if she can sleep with me and um who's she asking me and i go i go well katie my wife i go she wants to sleep with me she's like yeah whatever and i'm and i go what about this guy who's this guy she gets just my coach oh and i go oh well then okay no problem and then i and then she's hanging out and i look at him and i'm like he's obviously bummed oh and i go hey man what's what's going on you're right over there he's like you know she's just you know it's been going out with the with each other for like some amount of years and i'm like what we broke up i'm like but you're i'm like i'm so out of this you guys need to spend time together go get him a little gift certificate or something i can't play that game but yeah every now and then somebody just tries to rank check yeah i get them well i have to feel like star because some of my friends always get stalkers and i'm like damn i can't get i think soccer's is more of a sex thing if you're good at if you do good sex then i think you get a stalker you know you mean somebody you've already had sex with and it was so good that they just keep i feel like that's the only way it would make sense like if you kinda are okay at sex i don't think anybody you know smashing through your window to get back and hang out with you yeah i thought stalkers you'd never be yeah nobody's getting a little more mentally unstable and it's not but something has to spark that stalk you gotta you gotta light that up a lot of times they think that whatever whatever art you're doing whatever whatever content you're creating is speaking directly to them all right i mean that seems like the more scary stalker not hey i like you and i'm trying to get to you i i i guess i had a girl who left her vax card on my window and they said she wrote check me for covet on there charlotte was her name but i've never had anybody like my friends get the girls they're jumping over the fence or yelling and they're throwing stuff through the windows they're showing up at their like you're talking about groupies not stalkers i i don't know these are the ones they've had to call the cops wow not stalkers yeah so really but i think they got to be sexually motivated i don't think anybody's [ __ ] smashing through your living room window to [ __ ] come watch an episode of uh dexter new blood or something you know i'm saying like i think you got to have like a real you got to have fused them up with some cop it's an interesting theory i think because now i feel like any guy that's like a super fan kind of wants to have sex with me it's getting to that point it feels like a lot of oh some fans would let you would let you have sex with their males even who's do you think somebody's super famous like a guy because i always said if let's say if i wasn't uh part gay i would i would like blow david bowie before he died yeah yeah yeah pre-death yeah no and i wouldn't say that would make me gay john would you act out blowing him even though he's deceased with that well like ghosts blow him yeah no i feel like it's close i feel like kissing people and sucking dick he's a gay leader we're killing time here that's what we're doing man you know the dude who is standing on the ramp just like this for a while that's what we're doing bro we're just trying not to freaking [ __ ] in a minute um what else is something fun that i want to ask you guys here's a beautiful question right here by some hard young male hey boys greetings from uh vista had a quick question for jason here you know i've been listening to you since i was a little kid the back of my mom's honda civic ever since the days of your beef with ello cool j it was funny but jason i was wondering you know someone who's grown up around with a family with a lot of addiction you know i i uh i was curious because you're now very open about your sexuality at this point and i've always wondered you know do you think that that that drugs were more of an opportunity for you to unlock something that was always inside of you or do you feel like you know kind of the extremes of your sexuality have been part of lusting after a different high and without drugs do you think that you'd be the same person that that you are sober now today or do you think that was always kind of a part of you um and that's a lot right can i just answer the first one yeah um i don't think i'm bi because i did drop do drugs i think i definitely did when i did drugs it helped me uh do things that i was scared to do for sure when it came to that you think there's a man because a lot of drug and drug induced homosexuality in my area yeah that's what i thought i was because i did so many drugs i was like you just you're not gay you just like did like eight molly pills and you let anybody blow you that doesn't make you gay yeah yeah yeah because a lot of you see a lot of gay men meet up behind the rest area in our town and they would do drugs and then get involved in the sexual activity behind the rest area and people would actually shoot these potato guns at them they had like uh because it was a river there was a river right there and these two guys across the river would you know not if they were not doesn't sound like the spot to go just to break them up yeah it was like a warning shot yeah it was all warning shots but um it was like yeah cause i guess they were just alarmed if there was like drug induced homosexuality that's what i think people were alarmed at i mean people um potty man but yeah or maybe they're just trying to be uninhibited maybe i was gonna say i'm just trying to you know get get away from their inhibitions and just like oh straight people when they get really hot yeah that was a different time when that was going on but now yeah i think like yeah because drugs will just make you a little more brave i think almost to do anything sometimes yeah and especially if you're really clowned out dude you [ __ ] and you're trying to eat your own ass my uncle he's got a point my uncle used to tell us go look in your ass bro and when we we'd [ __ ] be gone for like 40 minutes they're trying to look at our own ass you know it's a weird thing i remember the first time i shaved my ass and was like trying to find my hole in the mirror and i was like i was like wow i feel slightly like less confident in myself by looking at myself from this angle oh yeah but eventually you get you know because that's that's your ass you better live with it you know staring in the ass i think it does weaken you yeah see i see i think it i think it does at first right but for me because at first i felt the same thing no it's in the same as when my it is empowering it is own your ass own your whole own your whole yeah there you go baby yeah i believe in my whole i love that man oh yeah whole man we're going all the way all right i could always trust it you know yeah it's right behind me at all times all the time when there was only one set of footsteps in the sand there was really a hole as well yeah yeah um what else could i ask you guys about oh did you guys used to do demos and stuff like that when y'all were coming up like when you guys were escaped you guys ever go to demos at different shops i'm sure you that you probably did tony did you do him as we did with him oh you did and what was some of that life like like was it awesome at that time did you guys were you guys already kind of like popular in that space was it like uh was it pretty yeah just what was that like i guess done it in every version so i've done them where no one knew about skating cared about skating and then they put a half pipe in the parking lot and people were like what the hell is that yeah yeah um and then uh done it where it was wild and thousands of people and stadiums yeah stadium type stuff and then um then when things kind of went south again especially in the early 90s uh we were doing demos in parking lots of skate shops or sporting goods stores and they would just put stuff up so here's a box and here's a jump ramp go ahead yeah and then you know 50 people are watching and we're trying to get we're trying to get like 300 bucks from the shop so that we can i was doing the same hotel room it's almost like open mics with comedy kind of yeah yeah yeah but we're not as humiliated so we we did have to survive open mic is more humiliating as a guy that's trying to do stand-up it is way it's way harder mentally like skateboarding even when you're because i've sucked at skateboarding and been in a demo in a contest i know what it's like to be the [ __ ] guy on the ramp i don't i don't even know where i stand in comedy i don't give a [ __ ] if everyone came just to see me i'm [ __ ] myself yeah i don't know what it is man i can talk in front of thousands of people but stand up i've never been more nervous in my [ __ ] life wow and i it's that's what me that's why i'm attracted to it because i'm trying to figure out what that is i had the greatest i'm only done a little bit but i did a set with ryan sickler and it was 500 people in a proper place and i'm like i've never done a proper place and i right before i went out i was like note to self my knee is shaking i'm like why is your knee shaking are you cold like i was like i think i am i might be getting hypothermia i'm like everyone else has got a t-shirt on what is your deal i'm like like after i was done i was like yeah cool wow but what the [ __ ] was that i've had fights i fought chain card and i was like man this is a bad idea i feel real nervous that was way more nerve-wracking

different than the other like the nerves of going like does it feel different i'm just trying to think while i'm talking it's nerves of pain because if you don't do the trick right you're going to get really hurt so that's a that's a that's a nerve that's a nerve i have a lot of skateboarding right but if we go do demos there are things that we know we're capable of that are tried and true that are like sort of playing the hits so we're going to go there and more exciting no matter what i'm going to leave here and people are going to think i'm good at skateboarding right pretty good skateboarding but when he's doing something new like comedy he doesn't know there's no standard set for him but was there is there something that you get nervous at that make that like um i'm just trying to equate like if i'm on a skateboard ramp i can feel that right now i get real scared of heights being higher than i should be you know for myself and so um that fear gets i feel like it's in my stomach more and in my body yeah that's definitely my body whereas if i'm going out to do comedy or doing something like karaoke makes me so nervous right that's i'm trying to think of where that fear is it's not really i guess it's more like i can't sing right yeah and it's more in my ego i feel like my a lot of my fear from there comes but what about when you started comedy were you really nervous when you started yeah i think i was pretty yeah i was i was definitely nervous okay so there was a was there a period of time where every time before you went up you're like [ __ ] i hope this works out yeah okay good yeah but there there are still times when i go in front of a crowd and it's a new ramp or whatever and i am so nervous because i don't have the confidence that maybe it's my ramp or because the crowd's way bigger and louder than i imagined and all of a sudden my body won't work the way that oh yeah that it should and and i'm bailing stuff that i can do in my sleep and that's when i i have to reassess and and try to do even exercises where it's like come on just just snap into being normal see his demo is different than because i've done demos with him yeah and there's 20 of us sometimes all like the best dudes in the world but it's like 5 000 people four and a half thousand people are looking at everything he does oh yeah and you can tell you know like he'll drop in and it's like you feel every so i feel like the pressure because i'm there and it's like oh i got tony hawk's friends all right here i mean or he [ __ ] sucks either way you didn't care who am i but i guess sometimes that gets the best of me right um usually i can i can overcome it but sometimes it does and it doesn't last long i've never never done a demo where i felt like i couldn't figure it out the whole time did you uh did did at any point like like did your was there a part in your career where your ego started to get big like you felt that going on in your world like i've noticed that in my own life at times your ego because it's kind of like this plant that gets watered by not even you water in it you know it's this thing that grows sometimes did you ever have any uh i would say more in the in the like mid to late 80s when all of a sudden we were thrust into stardom and in a thing that we never imagined we'd be famous at because no one was famous at it and then all of a sudden we're traveling the world and there's crowds and then that that definitely gets to you at when you're in such an impressionable impressionable formative age so when i'm like 18 19 traveling the world thousands of people autographs you know parties girls everything and it was just like at some point i think that i took it for granted yeah and maybe even expected it and then it was all taken away from me because skating died and now now that i get to live through another wave of success i don't take any for granted and i'm right just so thankful that they even get paid to do it at all um i'm glad i went through that yeah dude when like like with the ego do you think it like um it's do you think it's just something that happens to people because that's an interesting experience that you've had where you got to like you know you just got to have you know popularity and stuff like that i feel like the people who have the worst egos are the ones that get into it for those motivations oh they get into it for fame or fortune and then when they finally get it they just expect it and maybe that'll last for a little bit but at some point people are over you yeah if you're walking around like you deserve all of it they had a plan it was a secret plan to be an [ __ ] the whole time oh yeah that's what it looks like yeah because some people are just like i knew you before you were that right and now we're still on the same [ __ ] planet dude with the same skin on and you're acting like all of a sudden you're made of [ __ ] diamonds but you do see those same those same people lose their motivation and they don't keep their skills up because it was never there probably to begin with or it was it was there but but they the motivation was just to get to this point of celebrity and when they get to that point they don't they're not motivated to get better and that's when they fall off and so in my case i just want to keep getting better at skating thank god that was there for you then just because it's like that kind of stuff can happen you know it's like sometimes i think it happens and people don't realize it till years later you know like what was even going on if you realize that at the time you'd probably stop like what do you mean like if you're being an egotistical [ __ ] right you're not appreciating where you are and you realize that right there and then then you would prob hopefully he would stop or make a like get on the right track or try to get on the right track i've done it i did it with the radio skateboarding i was famous not as famous as him but famous enough to be an [ __ ] and fly around the world and be like ah it was nothing i wasn't like on purpose mean but i was definitely like not appreciative of the people and all the the life that i was living just like no thank you just [ __ ] give me the [ __ ] give me the money give me that juice [Laughter] and then the radio same thing yeah got i didn't it was accidental got real big all of a sudden people were all up my ass and then i'm straight back into that thing running everybody i know what i'm doing [ __ ] nobody knows anything and then had to you know go that's when i started going to therapy and [ __ ] because i couldn't have a relationship yeah like i could be the boss of a show but nobody would date me oh dude that's where i'm at really yeah nobody will date you because you would you snap on people or something no people can date me i just have trouble like with commitment and stuff like that like i've just been and i've just been i've just had so much anger and i don't know what i'm angry at that that is i know exactly what that is being super angry and not knowing why that was the thing that made me go because i was i had everything i was like i have everything that i'd ever want like you're on fire and all you do is [ __ ] talk about dicks and then you go home and do whatever you want like this is no and what was your other job i was a skateboarder yeah like come on you can't get a better life and you're just no or you mean i really just want to listen to some dark metal by myself and think about pulling things apart like what's wrong with you dude i'll go get those chickens at the store and just take them apart man wait are they cooked huh oh yeah they're cooked they're pre-cooked what do you mean you buy a chicken to pull it apart i'll put on elliott smith or some sad music and just [ __ ] carve that [ __ ] up so do you eat it as well or you're just carving i'll have a little sometimes but sometimes it's more for the sport of it honestly you know it's like yeah somehow i just gotta let it's just like i just want yeah i don't know i just get out i've just been angry and man it's been it has been not fun you know she's doing that is a unique um outlet i've never heard of someone pulling apart chickens it's not a good i feel like you could do better as an escape yeah it's an inner i think when you're in a city and you don't you don't have you know you it's like more of a you know it's if you're in outside you know you're out you there's a place where you could go do something and get a good you know do a weapon or something like that i would do that huh didn't you do yeah i'll do it sometimes it's been hard when i'm in la it's tough and when i'm touring it's tough so it's hard to like really lock into stuff that's one hard thing it's about touring um what are you doing tour you could bring a jiu jitsu guy and mats and roll every day in your room but that is ridiculous yeah as i'm saying it shut up that's some rich guy [ __ ] as yeah dude he can act like a but he's [ __ ] floyd get the [ __ ] out of here [ __ ] rich get the [ __ ] i will never be based on the reaction of my kids yeah you got something i don't know what it is dude you're holding something your kids have obviously been misled by a prominent male in their life okay because no no every you're fearful oh never [ __ ] my oldest son riley um is not here my step kids are here myles and calvin um but my oldest son riley said you didn't theovonne and then sent me a photo of the shirt he's wearing which is your shirt today that happened that's pretty are you off that shirt yeah it's a good shirt man your podcasts are huge that's my brother's favorite shirt yeah man i mean i do fine i just will never feel rich i don't know was it more like you just never say it because it sounds wrong yeah i just would never want to be rich dude that [ __ ] sounds [ __ ] i feel like being some rich guy i'm going to get a briefcase i'm going to [ __ ] why do you have to get a briefcase you got to do i'm not doing all of that [ __ ] dude you just have to work in administration huh yeah but i'm just not like you know i'm not doing that bro so you give your money to charity or something i could we give away a decent amount you know but but yeah i mean i guess maybe i'll have some money but i'll hopefully never be rich like in my head you know i think i always just looked like i despised rich people i think so i think i have some issues with it probably you know but um what else dude so what about um a good product you guys ever have a good product here's a question right here from some white i thought there was going to be something on the end of that just this guy knows bro look at him another guy i'm a big fan of both of you but i have a question for tony back in 1999 you landed the 900 on the half pipe i don't know if it's the only one that's been landed but regardless of all that the post interview you said uh it was the best day of your life uh my question is is there a trick that surpassed the 900 after that or is that still the best day of your life and uh theo a couple days ago i've been rocking the mullet first haircut ever i've been getting my mom to cut my hair oh yeah um for my whole life but that's the first professional cut and i chose a mullet so shout out to you gang gang gang baby grow it out baby let god hang on the back um uh yes but well after i did 900 at the x games then a few other people learned it um within the same year and then uh tom shar did a 1080 about 10 years later didn't hurt your feelings when you did it no he's not that guy yeah and there was no way i was ever gonna try that what i went through with 900's and even after i made it and some of the slams i took after i could do it knowing that i'd have to try to spin another rotation no um and then let's see 1080 then mitchie brusco did a 1080. then mitchie briscoe went on to do a 1260. so that is that is the record no one has done a 1260. [ __ ] one mega right mega three and a half spins in the air on the mega ramp too yeah you know what that is no it's like a 30 foot quarter pipe twice as big as a vote ramp yeah so you get more air it's like 18 feet high enough man enough is enough dude enough yeah but you didn't say but but but also that that thing sometimes comes back to bite me was saying it was a good greatest day in my life i was i was overcome with emotion it's supposed to be when your kids are born right did you get yeah well also my my uh my wife at the time and our newborn was right there so that that didn't that wasn't a good idea you got to let him leave man the 900 was a really bad thing but also there there was i i tried to defend it which was not a good idea too um i meant to say it's the greatest day of my career skating career but also there was a part of me that was like well you know what i've been trying nine hundreds for about ten years i haven't been trying to have kids for ten years you know what i mean yeah that's a good call man it was one of the greatest days for skateboarding's life like that's how big of a deal it was well i heard about it and i didn't know anything about skateboarding right yeah i could tell believe in it i could tell when he did it the people that didn't skate were like this is a big deal usually it's just us that k you know right yeah i mean when i learned 720s it was in 1985 on a backyard ramp in stockholm sweden there were two people there no one cared you know i was like oh that was cool new spin yeah but then that [ __ ] flew around the world and you know because there was no internet but i heard you did that yeah but you were you were you were also in the community and it's a very small community of skateboarding but that one because it was on espn and because they showed it live um it just kind of went viral when also yeah i mean the video game too when that popped me it was like that video game was almost like it was almost like a tick tock video now like everybody can make a video game in 30 seconds on their phone you know it's like but back then there was only a few videos that got it was like you know so a video game was almost just like a youtube video now in a way you know it was like a way to see something different you know there wasn't that many mo there was television movie or video game there wasn't anything else it's like the hip-hop era the the the gold what is it the gold era where it's like if you're a hip-hop if you're a big hip-hop artist in the late 80s 90s then you're still a hip-hop artist today it's very hard to be from another generation and still be solid right like he cr with the video game it's a video game that's because there's games that were invented 10 years ago that my kid plays now it's got respect but there's not many of those it's always like ever changing tony hawk's video game seems like my kid doesn't he knows what's cool that's usually the first thing people say to me now who grew up either you know knowing my name or or recognizing me if someone recognized me that happened today she's like oh what tony i'm gonna video games that happened in the parking lot actually i uh just i went to a restaurant before i got here and when i got in my car this dude like jumped out of his car stopped his car jumped out he was like yo man and then he saw my skateboard like this he saw myself yeah he's like he's like let me get a clip do a trick and so i grabbed the skateboard and went down the parking garage i did because i was going to the restaurant and i was going to skate there anyway but i was just like yeah catch me as i'm leaving um what a guy do uh um was there any product you guys ever pushed that was kind of crazy like was there a product that got presented to you guys that was like kind of bananas like uh that you guys ever did we sell out are you saying like kid rock kid rock tells a story about like he got involved with this company called badass beer right and so he like made like a meal like an empire made his own beer right and i think that's what it was it was zombie right but the second batch of it was [ __ ] horrible they just cooked it too long or something but they still put it out right which was that was not the best move i don't think but so it just cannibalized the whole thing everybody's like this [ __ ] beer is is is is [ __ ] you know so um i worked with a company that that i didn't realize it was in the 80s that i didn't realize i had signed away my rights to them and i had no idea what that meant i was i was whatever 19 or something and and uh they just started making products with my name on it and i finally came to them i was like you guys this sucks you can't do this they're like actually we can yeah you know it was more it was more like like a cooking robe it was a it was a velcro wallet which was fine with um basically they stole the vision streetwear logo and it just said tony hawk gear they ripped off two people yeah and i just said you guys this is vision streetwear yeah and they're like yeah well the tri-bar logos are hot right now like yeah but this is vision streetwear and then you're putting my name on it so it looks like i'm ripping off vision streamwear and i'm a skate i'm a skater their escape brand like and i don't ride for them yeah and they were just like no and while i was talking to this dude this is a true story while i was talking to this dude behind him on his shelf is a roll of toilet paper with the same logo he put vision street wear on toilets tony hawk gear tony hawk toilet paper yeah and i was like what is that and he goes he goes oh that oh that's one of our one of our retailers said uh said yeah man we'll take whatever you got with tony hawk's name you can put toilet paper on there and it'll sell so we made that for him wow and i was like that's dude i'm i want out of here and i had i actually paid to get out of my contract damn them t-hawk [ __ ] tickets i'd take a box of them bro i keep a box of them on deck you should keep that in your uh in your glove box we had what was it and one time they had this thing it was like it was like kind of hard condoms or whatever i think and it was like it was condoms were already a little harder than regular so it was like hotter like the material yeah yeah so you didn't have to get as hard built in viagra oh it's got like a spine in it yeah it's got like a little bit it was like called chance condoms or something i don't know can you pull it up chance condoms no way backbone makes more sense but it was like yeah endorsing them it was like we'll meet you halfway or something was their thing i've got ten wait you were sponsored by it we did it for yeah we did it for like four like maybe four uh ad reads or something it was like yeah you never should put one on partially hard condoms maybe holy sh no way i go partially hard condoms man [Laughter] no you guys must have the most insane search history and just go to images i think let's see some pics here you got to judge about it by the jpeg on this um a little aidsy at the top scoot down a little uh yellow one is that that kind of slips off wow i'm gonna have to get a hold of some if we still have any at the at the other place man but yeah we have partial what else did we have that was bizarre um did you did you deny anything uh we denied some stuff like some sexual stuff alcohol we don't do uh [Music] i don't know if there's been anything else i've seen a lot of merch people come to my show i'm like oh and i'm like i've never we've never made that yeah i i denied a tour yeah there was a tour that went on you probably heard about it in malaysia where it was like an extreme sports tour yeah and it was uh it was skateboarding and bmx and i maybe inlining cool um and it was at a time when there was no it was before x games were were big and the whole tour was sponsored by benson and hedges yeah sweet cigarettes grandpa cigarettes and there were some skaters that went that were like sober skaters smoking didn't smoke didn't drink and went to and did the tour sponsors i was like you guys okay and they started smoking probably no they didn't but i was i was shocked because i i chose not to do it i was like i don't want to go to a i don't want to have a sponsored drop in a tobacco sponsored skate tour and it was going to be uh it was going to be 18 and over too because it's sponsored by tobacco so i was like so there's always kids can't see us and so it just didn't feel right to me so i didn't and whatever i'm not trying to say i'm holier than that just rubbing it no look we did it the irony about all of that was it was right at the time when all those crazy fires were happening in malaysia and so the second half of the tour got cancelled because of smoke no i mean sorry but yeah i saw a thick sister fight a monkey but for a bag of chips in malaysia one time we were on a field trip wait it was a thing that you could watch she did it more than once no monkeys are gnarly yeah we went and they i got to go later on and they come and steal your food yeah they're garlic and the wood she was fighting back out there yeah with a big bag of ruffles on her and this these [ __ ] came through son who shows up to that area with a big bag of ruffles like you're asking for oh i like this girl i went with riley and riley and i were there's this area where all these monkeys are known to and there was this little snack thing we got chips as soon as we got them they're just like and they take the whole bag look at this beating up this white dude right here monkeys love [ __ ] chips bro what's that no the thing he's holding is that some kind of weird cucumber no they're crazy they got everything dude they're wild bro i got a photo of one of them giving me like a look like he's gonna bite me yeah were you at the birth of your children were you did you ever go in the room during childbirth that's crazy what that's crazy my dad said he went and watched uh looked at cars when i was getting born but he also said that uh you know your mum got pregnant and you know i thought about running but i stayed so it wasn't it was a different different time yeah now you can't not be there for the baby that's like uh unless you're divorced or in the middle of divorce you're getting big like i i can't even queasy okay i just don't know i'm wondering if it's the same type of nerves if you get if you're dropping in on a big ramp or something it's pretty scary i think that's a different experience but it is scary it's scary i feel like if you had more than one then it's less scary it's the second one and if you have more than one it happens real fast oh really yeah oh the second one comes out quicker yeah oh that first one's that real rocker huh yeah that first one's a real trap smasher dog i destroyed my mum one time when she was real angry she pulled her shirt up because she had like stretch marks that were real bad and there and uh look what you did to me and i remember i thought they were stitches it looked like a shark attack i was like oh i'm so sorry because apparently i was i was 11 pounds and i was a lazy baby so i was like i'm just chilling and they're like trying to grab on my big fat leg and i was like like a beached whale just yeah just beached up in a badge just chilling dude i saw i was in new york one time and somebody jumped off a building right and took in their life and uh so i was just kind of meandering around just kind of seeing what was going on and this lady's like you know what and i was like i was like what happened she was like you wanted to know and i was like yeah i want to know and then she pulled up her dress right and uh said that the guy jumped off the building and landed in her nice so was his feet hanging at her no she just said that and so i'm like this lady's crazy right like but just what a crazy thing to think right she was she was bonkers seemed like she just wanted to show you her [ __ ] yeah baby but i fell for it yeah who doesn't you know who doesn't that would get me that would get me time and time again i don't know how many times ah you got me yeah yeah once again the old caught a guy in my vagina yeah every works every time man uh we got one or two more questions man and then we'll uh get y'all on your way here's some guy from that's right hey what's up theo so i had a question for jason mr jason ellis since you were a pro fighter what would be who's a pro fighter of yours either past or present time that you wish you shared the ring with love you brother gang gang praise the lord baby ptl baby i i don't think it's a good idea that everybody i think who's really cool in fighting that i would share the every time i share the ring with someone who i think is really cool at fighting i usually get beat up pretty bad really yeah it's kind of what i want to do so because it's like the full experience of what's it like to spar with like keith jaradine and i don't want keith jardine to not punch me that would be like not really sparring right so yeah i've done that with a few of those people but to fight fight with one of those people i i'm not i'm not insane i don't want to die you know like i fight because it's fun but i don't want to like have a full death wish fight yeah and i feel like that's what would happen if it was all the people that i think is is really i sparred dominick cruz once before a fight wow and he like really he like uh after it because he staggered me like he caught me really good because he's obviously a thousand times better and that was just going to happen and he caught me and and i got staggered and i kept fighting and then afterwards he said to me uh you know when i rocked you there and you kept going that's all you're gonna need for this fight like i know you're ready for this fight i know you can win this fight because you showed me the thing that i was the only question that i had is what what happens when you get rocked and i thought you actually knew you were going to concuss me and to see how i was going to react that's beautiful i appreciate the help but it was also like you guys are insane and i'm only yeah but he said pro fighter i'm not a pro i've had a i've had a couple pro fights but i'm not a pro fighter i know what a pro fighter is that's why i don't need to say like the idea that he did hit you and you go down like nah you don't have it yeah yeah no but it's gonna work out for you yeah yeah was he gonna tell me that when i woke up or something or yeah i don't know how that was just testing you but those yeah yeah man not for you guys i guess i would that'd be a sign in itself not for you guy um we got one more question that came in right here actually what's up fellas this is tim from windsor ontario canada tony i know you put out a board that had your blood in the paint i was wondering if you're going to be putting out any other products with your blood in it and jason if you could put out a product with your blood in it what product would you put out thanks fellas [Laughter] that's an awesome question uh no but uh actually that that all happened with liquid death and the reason it happened was because they were talking about doing some sort of unique promotion and they presented that idea to me and i grew up a fan of kiss in the 70s oh yeah yeah and kiss did that in comic books in marvel comics they they made a kiss comic book and all the members of the band put their blood into the ink vat wow and i thought that was one of the coolest things ever and so there's people are saying like at satanic and whatever somehow i was copying little nos x but i didn't even know about his thing when i did it yeah um but that's what that was the motivation and then when we went to do it it caused a big ruckus because well for one some people thought it was weird gross evil awesome and then other people thought that it was a copy of lil nah's ex and then but people have done it forever well you're saying it's like yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but i'm just saying that was that was my motivation so to answer this question no no more blood no more when you go players you throw something in there i'm about to like shoot blood loads into meat pies and tacos i feel like signature jason ellis meat pies with a little bit of blood coming there oh yeah yeah for the for the community it's gonna get edgy you know like what am i gonna do like come in what if there's a resource blood toys like it's ridiculous i gotta come in heavy yeah yeah blood guitar or you know some like blood like a bumper bar for trucks with good recipe yeah or a toilet toilet seat with blood oh it was it was hard to find um a uh skateboard screening company that would do it really yeah well some people thought what it was this uh satan or something yeah uh and then well i mean other just people yeah but but the the companies like the screening companies they just were like i don't want to deal with blood right i feel like it's little bunch of wimps right what's a little blood we're all blood man yeah yeah yeah but during the time i get it like during the time it's just like yeah here's some plasma whatever these days who knows my wife's into that stuff is she really yeah oh jeepers i get nervous because you only have a certain amount of blood in you that's what's interesting you know what's weird is how when you lose some blood that you make more blood inside i'm like where's that come from yeah i don't know how to make it jesus christ makes the blood i mean who else does who else is going to stay up honestly prometheus okay well whatever you want to call him dude i know he has a [ __ ] cup of screen saying you ain't got a beard or [ __ ] more of a big really giant jacked bold guy more i'm not hey look his ig handle could be prometheus for sure i'm not sure he's not why that's why he's mixed probably yeah um anything else we got i know we got uh oh oh that's my last question what kind of guests are you guys going to have uh on i want to come back on and uh and be a guest sometime if you're not yes yeah i do we'll we'll have you on anytime you want yeah oh you want to try and escape i don't know just on the bottom not drop in oh yeah dude i'll skate straight across the bottom is there like a like uh yeah i can already tell the breeze he wants a harness yeah i want to give on a horse yeah i just wait there's a horse are you skating i just need some help brother yeah we'll give you hell okay i'm not bringing a [ __ ] harness for you you can hold my heart my hand if you want oh whoa hold on bro what it's not like that doesn't say my dick my hand two different things yeah but i'll wear a glove if it makes it more hair dryer yeah but you'll put the glove on your dick i know you i know it's a gateway you'd be like that's a weird hand it's only got one finger yeah dude damn why does this hand have a hard semi-hard condom already on um we have had guests we've had a couple of skateboarders yeah skater and jack jack black um oh i didn't know that we had poopies who's the newest um jackass member and he talked about his shark attack which was fascinating and frightening uh uh [ __ ] tiger belly yeah he said he would oh bobby bobby's saying him down yeah huge um but and we i don't know when this is airing but we just did rodney mullen and that's going to come out soon and that was pretty amazing yeah he knows who he is but he's kind of the godfather of modern skateboarding oh that's grace he's the guy he's the guy that invented k flips wow anthony sexy flips and heelflips and he's still his stories it's the most insane story of any human life is it really right now still skateboarding at night in the dark he only goes it's 55 and he goes at midnight and skates till 5 in the morning and then he goes home and goes to sleep and then when he lived in london because his girlfriend's there working i was like doesn't it rain there and he goes yeah i bring a wet board and i'm like what's a wet board it's like a board that's like waterlogged and i just skate in the rain and i'm like do you bring like a rain jacket he's like no just take my shirt off so at mid at four in the morning you can catch rodney mullen in london doing skateboard tricks by himself for hours damn still that's cool the skate community is very excited that we got rodney on the show because rodney does not do very many interviews at all that's awesome
