If you are actually reading this, you have watched the newest installment of the mailbag and you’ll understand why I have chosen to focus my thoughts today on a gentleman by the name of Greg Wolf. Those of you whom are reading this are very familiar with him by now. And, those who don’t frequent our glorious website need to “Get With the Program.” However, it is entirely possible that those oblivious to the existence of jackassworld have potentially watched the bonus features of jackass 2.5 and have seen Mark Hanson’s piece de resistance, “Who Is Greg Wolf?” Even those who have had their heads up their asses for years may remember Greg Wolf from way back in June 2001 when on the very last show of the original jackass series, his cell phone number was given out on the air during the “Wolfie Bikini.” Regardless, Greg has been with the fellas for years and years now, and love him or hate him, there has got to be a reason why. Most will say that it is this guy’s fault, and they might be right.

Working in the entertainment industry, some of us have the privilege of never spending more than nine months on any given project. Then, when a show wraps, you may work with some of the same people again later on down the line, and some of them you will never see again. Point being, some of the boys in the office have worked with Wolfie on a regular basis for the better part of a decade. You could put me in a room with the Dalai Lama five days a week, and I’d probably have my fill of him in a month. Plus, as Knoxville pointed out during a jackass 2.5 interview session, Wolfie is an easy mark because he doesn’t fight back. He just kind of grins and bears it. There are a few exceptions, like the Trip Taylor paintball gun fight and the infamous “Not Now” argument with Kosick on Knoxville’s birthday, but he generally just lets it slide.

I know that Wolf is not very fond of the overuse of “Awoooo’s” in this installment of the mailbag, but I need to thank him for inadvertently saving my ass. The stuff that came in the mail this week was great, but my presentation of it wasn’t, and Wolfie’s “Awoooo’s” (brought to you by the genius of Seth) turned a potentially boring mailbag performance into something far more entertaining.

These guys will never admit it to Wolf, but just remember that parody is the highest form of flattery. Plus, I don’t need to remind you that he is the only person in the entire office who has a well-maintained tribute site in the jackassworld community. Especially one that is done from the inside…

As for this week’s mail, thanks again to Amanda, Sam, Robert Smith of the Cure, Camilla, Jordyn, and Hannah.

By the way, I need to mention that we have just about run out of stickers. Thanks to everyone for their interest in plastering the Earth with them, but we’ve run dry. Those who have already sent requests for them will get the last of our stash. I’ll let you know when we have some more printed.

See you again soon.
