Have you ever admitted yourself to the emergency room after slipping in the shower and accidentally landing on a glass bottle, lodging it deep inside your rectum where it has to be surgically extracted? No? Me neither, but on September 1st, 2009, MTV Home Entertainment is releasing Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory: Season One on DVD. This two-disc set includes all ten episodes from the first season and the following special features: “Best Of” and “Behind-The-Scenes” specials, uncensored audio option, deleted scenes, “See You Sunday” finale party footage courtesy of jackassworld.com, cast commentary, and more! Why does everyone always put an exclamation mark after the word more in these sales pitchy instances? Because if it was a period then it would look depressingly like this: ” … and more.” And who wants to buy something that depresses them? No one, that’s who. So! There! You! Go! Buy! Now!

When I first sat down to think about all the people I wanted to interview for One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer, one of the very first people I thought of was Mike Judge. Not only is he one of my closest friends but he is also a brilliant f’ing guy. He is a goddamned big brained nut is what he is. He graduates college with a physics degree, gets a job as an engineer, quits that to play bass in a few bands, and then decides he wants to become an animator. Yes, he creates Beavis and Butthead and then King of the Hill. He also wrote and directed Office Space, Idiocracy, and the upcoming Extract (in theaters near you September 4th!). He is so insanely talented, and most of all he is a sweet dude. He is socially really shy, but if you get him to talking he is f’ing hilarious, especially when you ply him with booze like I did!

A few people noticed that Chris Pontius appeared to be mysteriously absent from most of our vacation photo essays (well, aside from that first late night out with the bare-chested big boys). The reason for this is that Chris took the opportunity to catch up on some sleep. Prior to the trip he was apparently on insomniac overdrive, so his body finally cashed in its chips and put him under house sleep arrest. So it became quite commonplace for him to rise from slumber around 3:30pm, thus heralding the return of the real Mr. Afternoon—a nickname he’d earned way back when on Big Brother magazine in the ’90s. Chris wasn’t operating on (or anywhere remotely close to) a clock then and he’d often straggle into our LFP office space around 3:00pm, at which point he’d hole himself up in the “make-up” room and decorate the spreads of various nudie magazines with gobs of penis paint. After witnessing his irregular hours of wake and rest for years, I’m convinced that Chris moves in an entirely different time continuum than the rest of us common folk, where seconds are actually minutes and minutes can magically elongate into hours. This can be frustrating as hell when you’re trying to pin a tight schedule to him, but on the same hand it’s just part of what makes Chris as awesome as he is. Rest assured, though, he did wake in the end and the wake was a better wake for it. (more…)

To the average eye this would appear to be just another music video that at one time would’ve aired on MTV when there was a lot more M in the TV and it wasn’t wandering lost in The Hills. But to the trained eye, or anyone within our immediate group of friends and associates, this video is chock full of sentiment. (more…)

I don’t know if Jim DeChamp accidentally offended this officer earlier in the day or what, but when he volunteered to stand and be counted on the pepper spray test I doubt he had any clue that his face was about to be painted up like the Great Pumpkin. Seriously, talk about getting the raw end of the firing line deal. The officer might as well have taken a bucket of this inflammatory crap and just dumped it over his head.

Interviewing someone like Dave Carnie can be terrifying. Writing blog text about interviewing someone like Dave Carnie can be even more terrifying. You want it to be cool, smart, and even witty maybe? But it’s never going to be as good as his writing. So fuck it. I also wanted a cool set for his interview for the Big Brother Memoir (yeah, that’s right, it’s a memoir): books, a typewriter … but come on, people. It’s Carnie. He has a company named Whale Cock. Whale Cock. Anyhow, Knoxville became obsessed with hanging a giant photo of Rick Kosick behind his interview to see what his reaction would be. So here it is, kids. Enjoy. —LG

On this past Thursday’s episode of Nitro Circus, Travis Pastrana decided to take a walk in the electrified footsteps of such legendary taser victims as Rodney King and Johnny Knoxville. It all seemed good fun at first, nervous excitement at its very schoolgirl giggling best— (more…)

Part 1

First off, let me just say that I am damn glad not to have to type out the date Thursday, August 27th, anymore. I was beginning to feel like a skipping CD—specifically the first track off The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste by Ministry—so I’m happy to have this night now entered into the recorded past of humanity. Anyway, if you did remember to tune in last night for the season premieres of Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory and Nitro Circus, perhaps you caught a few of those souped up throws and interstine interstitials featuring the combined casts and a few surprise guests. Now go behind-the-scenes in this special three-part peak to see a bit more of what happened on the periphery as Rick Kosick poked his camera in faces and places not seen in those 15 to 30 second promotional burps.
