When the news broke that Poopies, that guy who used to do whatever Jamie O’Brien told him to do, was going to join the Jackass crew, we felt strangely proud of him. Despite the fact that his antics aren’t exactly high-brow, Poopies made a name for himself big enough that one of the most popular franchises in the movie biz sat up and took notice. But since Jackass is going to Jackass, Poopies needed to up the ante a little bit.
We’d imagine it’s hard to say no to Steve-O and Johnny Knoxville, so when they asked Poopies to jump over shark-infested waters on waterskis, he nodded. But, as you’ve likely heard by now, things went wrong. Very wrong. The sharks almost took his hand, and Poopies very easily could have died. Thankfully, he didn’t. Now he lives with a mangled hand and one of the wildest stories anyone could have. In the recent interview you see above, Steve-O and Poopies sat down to talk over how it happened, what could have been done better, and the lasting implications of the… accident?
