Just when you thought you saw the last clip from the 24-hour takeover, I settle into my office and start digging for little nuggets of NY gold. This particular nugget is pickled and can sing most of the lyrics to Roger Alan Wade’s “D-R-U-N-K.” By the way, I have carried Wee Man’s body out of bars before and it sucks. He’s one heavy midget.

Two lost souls wander the streets of New York City desperately searching for their knight in yellow armor. Dave England and Chris Pontius’s performance rivals that of Bam Margera, Preston Lacy, and Ehren McGhehey earlier the same night. This tragic tale reminds us that if you wanna get a taxi in NYC you should probably pull up your pants or hump less trash.

Maybe some of you remember our little 24-hour takeover back in February. Leading up to the actual show a lot of shenanigans were caught on video, like this impromptu episode of the Preston Lacy show guest-starring Dave “Why” England, Danger “Who” Ehren, and myself. (more…)

This clip is from Preston Lacy’s hotel room*. It was shot the night of the great NY blizzard of 2008. Well, it wasn’t really a blizzard, but it was a lot of snow. We had gathered some men for an expedition into the great white way, but first Preston needed to make a potty stop. This footage had the potential to “go too funny, dude,” so I had to turn the camera off. I can see Preston pee-pee sitting down anytime, but playing in the snow in Times Square is an experience some would be willing to get pee-peed on for.

* I just showed the clip to Knoxville and he was a little confused. Preston is making pee-pee sitting down because the space is so narrow he can’t urine standing up. In the seated position, Preston can let his ding-a-ling swing up against the inside of the toilet seat and not have to man the hose. How luxurious. As Chris points out, Preston is wearing “burbundy” underpants.

Immediately after his Navy SEAL training, Bam decided it was time to hail a taxi. However, the snow and urine he just drank appear to have affected his depth perception and the taxi hit him just enough to wipe some crusty bird shit off. I’m not exactly sure where Bam was trying to go, but I’m glad he got hit by a cab instead of going to some party where blood pours out of the sprinklers and everyone turns into vampires and shit.

Back in the day there was a little magazine called Big Brother. Dave “the first jackass” Carnie was featured in the number two video drinking his own urine. People thought he was all crazy and “eww, he’s gross” and all that hoopla. What people didn’t know is that this behavior was all part of his Navy SEAL training. In this clip, Bam and Chris enjoy winter in New York. We were in New York for the jackassworld 24-hour takeover of MTV shooting bits daily. Every filming day, regardless of success, would end with libations accompanied by revelry and Navy SEAL training. Apparently urine is loaded with vitamins and minerals. Just the right mix for that Navy SEAL lifestyle. For an added bonus, the training is intensified with real snow. Better take another sip, Bam.

Here’s a heartwarming tale of three guys from Wisconsin, jackassworld community members no less, that got their asses all the way to New York City and camped out in-studio for the entire 24-hours. (By the way, sorry Movie_Ben, but I forgot to sign that DVD book for you at the end there. Things got hectic in our little ghetto control room location and I never made it back out into the public arena until well after our shit was all cleared out.)

You saw them get mentally and physically violated in every which workout way possible. Now meet the men, or at least one man, and learn all about his exciting journey into an absurd fitness program under the sexual misdirection of Chris Pontius. Scott Manning guest stars.

I’m actually surprised there wasn’t more of this randomness happening down on the streets. For some reason I’d even expected to see a few tents posted up outside in the freezing temperatures, but I don’t know why I thought we’d rate up there with the cult-like antics akin to Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Delusions of “fandeur,” I guess.

Meet Joe Devito. Joe was one of the East Coast producer-types of this presumed to be catastrophe and he went through absolute hell to help get it up and running on air against everyone’s better judgment. That said, thanks Joe, you helped take a shit brown turd and make it a lighter shade of gold. Good job!
