#2439 - Johnny Knoxville

Joe Rogan interviews Johnny Knoxville about his career, ranging from the early days of Jackass to his more recent work. Knoxville recounts meeting Judo Gene LaBelle on the set of Men in Black 2 and Gene's habit of choking out stuntmen. He details the origins of Jackass, stemming from a self-defense article where he tested equipment on himself, including getting shot with a bulletproof vest. They delve into some of Knoxville's near-death experiences, including a stunt with a 20-foot steel wall and another involving a bull. They also discuss the dangers of Fear Factor, which Rogan hosted, and the infamous "Donkey Cum" episode that led to its cancellation. The conversation shifts to MMA, particularly their admiration for Fedor Emelianenko.
