In this episode, you'll hear from Jackass star Poopies who got his start at 16 when he became friends with Jackass Producer Trip Taylor. He went on to star in a RedBull TV series called “Who is J.O.B” after moving to Hawaii. After traveling the world for that show, Poopies got offered to do a screen test for a new Jackass movie which led to him becoming a new cast member.

How Chris Chann Gave Danny Duncan His Big Break Jan 26, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, we interview Chris Chann, OG YouTuber and Danny’s best friend. Chris has been making videos on YouTube since 2009 and made a name for himself in the skate community with his win at Battle of the Berrics in 2014 as well as viral videos such as “Returning A Pencil 15 Years Later” and many others. Chris helped Danny immensely early in his career by putting him in his videos and then eventually buying him a car so he could stay out in LA. Years later, Danny returned the favor and bought Chris a Tesla redeeming the “IOU” voucher he made when Chris bought him his car. Now, Chris is making videos while traveling the world and is still involved in the skating community.

How Oliver Tree Broke The Music Industry Dec 28, 2023

Show notes

We interviewed Oliver Tree who is changing the music industry by bringing together inspiration from different artists ranging from the Gorillaz to Weird Al to Wes Anderson and more. And he may or not have walked off our podcast set after a few too many jokes 😅

During the interview he talked about his early beginnings on Vine to his "Slime" stunt on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast and why people may think he's a parody or joke, but in reality, he's more serious than 99% of artists with the millions he's invested in his world tour, concerts, and production.
