“I can’t do anything where I can get another concussion,” Knoxville said. “[I’m] way over my limit for concussions, but I don’t care about anything else. I just can’t get hit in the head anymore — but a lot of other guys can.”

"Ze human race, ze former hunter, ze former gatherer. A mind made for ze wild trapped in ze modern day. Many find zis modern age of luxury a comfort. But wirh comfort comes malaise. Bereft of a phalanx to form, a mammoth to hunt, the ennuie of our brain stem can feel maddening. What then becomes of those left behind? Dear audience...dis eez Jackass" -guitar riff

I dislike Werner Herzog for the silliest of reasons. I can't for the life of me do an off-the-cuff written impression of him that's even half decent.

He's a hard man to get down

I can do a decent impersonation, but that's just because I watched the video of him talking about pulling Joaquin Phoenix out of a car crash like 20 times

You are tempting me - you fiend. Haha. Hmm... Or maybe I could watch his Grizzly Man doc again. It's the crazy story of a guy who tried to make friends with wild bears.

Spoiler [CW: concise but graphic]

Yes. He ended up getting killed by a bear. And eaten. His girlfriend too.

Oh yeah...

This tape should be destroyed, no one should ever experience it

I hope Johnny Knoxville has a care plan in place. He's not old, but he's old. And age introduces its own set of complications in the best of us, and I have a feeling that whatever manifests from all of those concussions isn't going to be kind to him. Especially if he is claiming that one more concussion is possibly gonna scramble his eggs more or less. I'd really hate to see someone pull some prime era jackass shit and intentionally crown him to attempt to screw him up on purpose. Maybe that's why they're paying Bam not to be involved.

I guess a boxer isn't the same comparison, boxers take punches to the head more often than he was getting concussed, so is there one?

Boxers can have brain issues in later life. I googled (for me too) but the results were poop.
