And it's not always you doing the stunts, obviously, you get your friends so that you can, it seems to me, like distribute the pain and injury.

So that it's, you know, it's a huge sensation.

Cause I remember thinking, how do they do this now?

Cause, you know, the TV show has so many sort of iconic moments.

And I thought you guys made great decisions when you made that movie.

I don't know, because you upped the ante a little bit, but you also have, like, production and.

It's sort of on steroids and more presentational.

The thinking behind the movie was we did.

They called it three seasons of Jackass, but

it was 24 episodes and over a series of nine, 10 months.

And we had, unfortunately, a couple of copycat incidences.

And it was an election year, and Joseph Lieberman came down on Hollywood.

And me personally in MTV because of that.

We had all these safety OSHA guys on the sail.

You can't jump off anything more than four feet.

And I felt like, this doesn't feel right.

And so I gave an interview to my hometown newspaper and said, I quit.

And everyone was kind of surprised because I just went rogue.

So there was a lot of heat back and forth.

MTV was upset because I was under contract.

Finally, idea for a movie was floated, and I was.

And Jeff and Spike came to me and said, well, how about if we just do a movie instead?

You know, so that I was a little confused, as I often am.

But I felt like there was a time when south park made a movie.

Traditionally, when TV shows make a movie, for many years, it was the rule that it's a bad idea.

Justin and Kelly, okay, Almost always a bad idea.

I'm not the butcher sky to come along the block.

But you know, I remember like south park made a movie and it turned out like, oh yes, excellent.

And then you guys made a movie and it felt like this time when people were making the right call and it was actually translating.

I'm curious, you know, I think about there was whatever 30 years or 28 years there where I was doing a show and always saying yes to things because I thought it would be funny.

And I got tossed by a water buffalo once and fell onto up into the air and fell onto hard concrete when that was not what I was supposed to do and all my common sense went away.

I'm thinking about your life where you have a montage playing in your head of things you did where probably halfway through you thought, this is a terrible idea, but

Well, it's like, this is a terrible idea.

And by the way, I've always wanted to get hit by a water buffalo.

I was sitting there like, oh, I'm glad that you look up to me that way.

So are there things that stand out to you now that you are this silver haired, wise, you know, patrician.

Are there things that stand out to you now where you go like, oh my God, that was a terrible idea.

Well, yeah, I mean we, we're, we've been going back, looking through some old bits and you're like, oh, that, that.

But not like anything for my physical safety, just because, you know, they all can't be hits.

Even watching the first movie, it's, it's almost first Jackass movie.

It's so tame into what it became and which.

And like watching myself do pranks and I just, I watch it and just go, why did I do that?

I just like to beat myself up a little bit.

We all look at past work we've done and have regrets.

But for you it might be why Did I light myself on fire?
