I could listen to Johnny talk all day. Something about him just makes me happy.

[@echolot]

knoxville is so much smarter than people give him credit for

[@seiri3126]

true

[@christophersantiago6845]

Legend. Thanks for all the years of entertainment. Retire from stunts and stay safe.

“You Don’t Know How It Feels” is one of the best songs ever written!

He’s a SILVER FOX!!! 🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😍😍😍😍

[@jamesmyers8971]

Knowing what he’s been through, Johnny Knoxville is an amazing, and honest man who deserves to be immortalized. Can I get a second?

[@mogomarkas3187]

A truly humble guy

[@ItsJaxDude]

I swear Johnny has a new look everytime i see him 😂😂😂

[@claytongiampaolo7848]

Funny how aging and gray hair works

[@OddOneOut665]

They should’ve had him and Ryan play a game with Jimmy! For those wondering about that KOTH episode, it’s from Season 12, called ‘Life: A Loser’s Manual’ (he voices Luanne’s Father!).

[@FatherLamb]

Surprised he didn't have a taser with him for a surprise with Jimmy 😂

[@Jenishka]

Oh F*ing Johnny ..... Love this guys since those good old days when Mtv was out of this world ... From Argentina .... always loved him and had a crush on him ... I still have it .... Love that now he is like a silver fox .... and i think he s so underrated as an actor .... He should make dramas .... he is awesome

[@jaycekibler1897]

he is definitely a great actor! i love the ringer

[@OmahaGTP]

"I was like, really bummed" two seconds later -Were you really bummed?

[@user-yn7yo1co3k]

Letterman called him Johnny Jackass to his face! He didn't seem to mind.

[@OGRE_HATES_NERDS]

yeah he literall named his show jackass... i think thats what he wanted people to call him... why would he have a problem with it

[@Nothing51337]

"There's alot of perverts out there"Johnny Knoxville🤓

[@ManyWaysFilms]

I talked to Johnny for maybe 2 minutes when I was 19 in 2015, super cool guy, super chill.

[@vinsanitynelson4943]

So happy to hear the Guy Clark connection.

[@eyafind]

whole jackass crew was my childhood. aged like fine wine sir knoxville

[@lashendawest7509]

We love johnny knoxville and jimmy fallon

[@thetommantom]

That is a really cool podcast name lmao I feel like I would be guilt tripped into following his channel just cause but with a name like that makes it super interesting lol

[@h7opolo]

Knoxville's outfit is perfectly mismatched to help accentuate his irreverence toward conventionality.

[@AA-wc3tw]

If I could pick my family, I'd pick Johnny Knoxville to be in mine.

[@FinBrennan]

I kinda forget sometimes that besides all the Jackass stuff, Johnny is just, like, a normal working actor 😂

[@nealfager8126]

I will love Tom Petty and any story about him from anyone who has met him til the day I die!

[@travisinthetrunk]

8:10 It’s the concussions.

[@KtotheL]

there better be another JACKASS movie !?! im already tired of waiting !!!

[@seankim884]

Hi I’m Johnny Knoxville Welcome To Jackass!

[@0311nate]

They should’ve gave him a small cameo in Barbie lol.

[@josephsaunders8618]

I loved MIIB and The Ringer!

[@nealfager8126]

I saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers live 3 times the last one was the 40th anniversary tour at the Hollywood Bowl a few months before he died!

It was like a week not a month

[@nealfager8126]

one guy from my high school, Mike Wuertz, he made it to the bigs.. he could stirke out everyone

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Johnny s a shockingly good actor totally unexpected considering jackass.

[@Ottophil]

He was always the actor of the crew, not a stuntman/clown like steve o, or skater like bam and wee man

[@meme-tg6hr]

Whoa 😮. I had that exact pullover he's wearing in a vest in the 1960s. And it was a women's. Where did he get that? And how long ago.

[@AllanAdamson]

3rd base was what I played

[@loucat76]

Tom Petty and the Potential two great artists

[@miroslavassiniavskis7725]

Would love to offer Joe main parts in my movies if he is interested. Not care about the fit for different roles too. Also maybe the linkage with Paul Mescal was that he might be interested too. Thanks for the attention to my situation. Kinda too nice knowing that I skipped Jackass episode when was watching MTV in my teen years. Probably mental profile checked with using ai technologies clearly showed that I am crazy enough for working on project like Jackass or vise versa.

[@blackbeerd]

this gives, SpongeBob as the cereal box ad

[@ShesHereForTheMusic]

That’s cool.

Something about Johnny Knoxville has always been hot to me.

[@Randomonium66]

For once, the guy next to Knoxville is the Jackass.

[@jackfinley199]

I don’t see anymore Jackass Movies coming. Especially after they fired Bam. It’s not the same.

[@gojosatoru6884]

hi

[@geoffreyfeinberg9792]

Jackass is awesome. But the stunts get a lot of people hurt or grossed out. Especially lifting the port a potty stunt.

[@el_matamuertes]

His hair still has dark roots, so he's not totally grey yet....😂

[@christopherdean6179]

When is knoxville going to take Bam up on his offer and get in the ring with him?

[@deadpool102192]

Knoxville would fuck him up

[@damnsonxd]

So crazy how them now being in there 50s still wanting to do more jackass films it would be.cool in all but they ain’t no spring chickens no more these are men that are getting up to elder age that want to put there body’s on the line well hope they do well

I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or if you’re trying to sell something or be some kind of influence or what you’re doing but whatever it is, it seems harmless, but if I were to say something like that I would say take a page from Jimmy Fallon and be kind to everyone.

In Gainesville, I was in schooll.. I met an old maintenance worker who had some crazy stories.. he said Tom petty was a total dick. He instigated bar fights and stuck his nose up at everyone. Idk how true that was.. but dude had some scars .. I guess I tend to believe the old Floridians.. they crazy.. and they survived lol

[@My_Naginta]

Understand that I'm indifferent towards Petty, but I think I'll take Knoxville's word that he was cool

[@Manatee724]

He doesn’t look like a Philip

[@Daltonmelodic]

What happened?

[@thetommantom]

I liked being a catcher cause I would throw people stealing second also outfield to back up in field and throw home and they even put me as a pitcher lol worst position ever thought too hard worked too hard and just didn't want to hit people lol could not get out of my head I'm pretty sure I walked everyone lapped a couple people and literally just gave an entire game away lol

[@user-pf4ff7ix5j]

A DIVINE MIRACLE OF AVIATION IN OLD NEW YORK CITY - Tim Browne flew his mighty airplane directly into the Empire State Building at 400-miles-per-hour. “Is everyone alright?!” He asked as wreckage was still hitting the pavement. “We're okay back here!” A young woman yelled from the rear. “I've never felt better!” Another passenger reported. “That's odd,” Tim said to his pretty girlfriend at his side. “I thought that crashing directly into the top floor of a very huge building at 400-miles-per-hour would surely have killed us all, considering the mega-extreme impact!” Later, it was determined by the federal aviation inspectors that Tim was pretty lucky to be alive 'cause crashing a plane at that deadly speed always kills everybody!
