Woowoo, ring in the new year with me and my cousin Roger Alan Wade on our radio show The Big Ass Happy Family Jubilee on Sirius/XM’s Outlaw Country channel. They are running a marathon of our shows on New Year’s Eve between the hours of 8pm-4am EST on Sirius 63 and XM 12. Hell, we didn’t even know anyone listened to our show until they gave us this prime spot. We’ll be playing lots of Willie, Waylon, and Johnny and doing shows dedicated to John “the fightin’ proctologist” Hopoate, Country Crooners with Big Tools, Cas Walker and many more. Hell, I think they are giving some type of free 30 day trial if you listen online or on your iPhone or something. Click on this link to find out more about that:

Okay then, hope you’re having a damn fine holiday. I sure am. Tune in New Year’s Eve. Wahoo!!

Love,

Knoxville

No, this isn’t the world’s worst Devo tribute band. This is me and the fellas getting educated on 3D. we have been getting a crash course in the technology since we started considering doing the third jackass in an extra dimension (and just for the record the third one is in 3D). I gotta say I don’t have much patience for these type of get togethers, it just feels too much like school. People are talking about converting, convergence, ratios, 24 frames a second, 60 frames a second, etc., etc., and my mind just blanks out and all I can think about is doing something horrible to Tremaine. Anyway, we did some camera tests a couple of weeks ago and that was the best education of all. Up until that point I had been the biggest naysayer on 3D. I was looking at it like we have a ton of ideas and don’t need the extra dimension to have a great movie. Jackass is funny without it. But after filming the tests, we all realized that shooting in 3D just provided us an extra way to be stupid. It just adds to the ridiculousness and doesn’t get in the way of what we do whatsoever. As a matter of fact, it adds to it. Steve-O isn’t going to puke “in front of Dean Wormer,” he is going to puke “on Dean Wormer.” Woowoo!!

I can’t write a birthday post for Loomis, because he doesn’t acknowledge his birthday. Actually, he might not have even been born, so I can’t acknowledge it either—hatched, maybe, but I don’t know. I definitely can’t verify today is his birthday, but isn’t this the day in 1980 (or close to it) that John Lennon and Darby Crash died? Poor Darby Crash… he overdoses the same day John Lennon gets shot. If you are a partially famous person and you want to off yourself, you really have to wait until the end of the business day on the West Coast so you can make sure you don’t get overshadowed in the next day’s news. Anyway, I remember talking about these topics with Loomis a lot around this time of year. The day was very significant for reasons other than Darby Crash and John Lennon croaking. Jesus, what was it? I mean, one time I even heard someone say, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOOMIS, I LOVE YOU.”

Your pal,

KNOX

I must take this opportunity to tell you that my friend and master thespian Eddie Barbanell will absolutely be in jackass 3. And not only will he be in it but he is prolly going to steal the whole damn show. Someone, and I won’t mention his name (Eddie Barbanell), was pretty upset that they weren’t included in the official announcement for jackass 3. Eddie, please forgive me for my oversight. Me and all the guys cannot wait to shoot with you. Now get off my back! Sheesh.

Sincerely and love,

Johnny Knoxville

Check out my sweet new cigar box guitar made for me by Mr. Mark Melchior out of Los Angeles. I didn’t even know things like this existed until I saw Jesco White playing one in the documentary we did on him and his family, The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. After seeing Jesco banging away on his, I looked all over the Internet for more info cuz I wanted to get one right away. I brought the subject up to my friend Juvencio who cuts my hair and he told me about Mark. I think I went to Mark’s house the very next day and bought one for myself, Tremaine, and my cousin Roger back in Tennessee. I f’ing love mine. Anyway, if you want to contact Mark here is his email: docorock@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Okay, everybody, this is going to be short but sweet. We (and by we I mean everybody) are doing a third jackass movie. Woohoo and honk-honk! It will come out in late 2010 and it may or may not be in 3-D. I know it’s being reported it will be in 3-D, but until we test those cameras out we won’t make the decision. Anyway, whatever dimension it’s in, just know its going to be f’ed. We’re back, and jackass 3 is cumming soon.

It’s official … Eddie Barbanell says Rick Kosick is #1! Eddie was in town a couple of weeks ago and while he was here he came to my house to watch the Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight. Kosick was here, too, and was not so surprised to walk in and see Eddie in the new shirt I gave him. Rick was a good sport about it, as he loves Eddie and knows he was only giving him shit. Eddie of course loved the shirt as everyone wanted to take his picture.

I snapped this photo of Ms. Shanna Zablow sitting in her “big girl” seat at Dickhouse Entertainment. It kind of reminds me of Jack and the Beanstalk when the little boy climbed up in the giant’s chair. His little feet couldn’t touch the ground either. I took this one night in the office when Shanna ordered a bunch of beer and we all watched the World Series. Notice her Yankees cap barely peeking over the computer and the sweet Sarah Green pictures behind her on the wall.

I have a clamshell T-shirt press in my house and I love to make clothes with it. I print up images on this special paper off my printer and then iron it on the shirts. Here is an outfit I made for Jeff and Laura’s precious new addition. Supposedly Jeff has a picture of Kosick holding her while she’s wearing it, but I have yet to see it. Anyway, I made a matching outfit for my little one which gets here in December. I figure when teaching kids the golden rule, you might as well start ‘em young.

Sincerely,

Knoxville

Here is a snippet of our Big Ass Happy Family Jubilee tribute to Joe Jackson that never aired. We recorded it a couple weeks after Michael Jackson’s passing, but it never aired. After doing it, I thought it may have been too soon to jump on Joe even if he was being a complete schmeckel. I just didn’t want our show to come off mean even though it was Joe Jackson who was the one being the arsehole. He was on CNN a day or two after Michael died promoting his new record label, and that just boggled our minds. So we decided to do the show about Joe, his record label, capitalism, and striking while the iron is hot.
