4:18🔗VoiceoverHey, everybody, it's the Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. I'm the phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew is a board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist. And tonight it's my pleasure to welcome back to the program the Wildboyz, Chris Pontius and Steve-O.
4:36🔗AdamYou know, and, Drew, I think you'll agree with me when I say that there's something sort of... There's something very compelling about both these two gentlemen.
4:47🔗AdamNo, and I mean, we know guys who are obnoxious. We know guys that are out there. We know guys who do a lot of shock stuff and everything. But there's something genuine about this, Steve and Chris, that's something very compelling, is people.
5:01🔗GuestI mean, I have a real question. Yeah. Is there such a thing as hermaphrodites? Yes. There is, thank God.
5:45🔗GuestOkay, it was described to me that this person was bornish. As a hermaphrodite, is how I was told. This person had been a hermaphrodite and then had an operation to make themselves completely female, which is, which is my version. Now, what is, what is, everyone else says that it was actually a dude.
6:35🔗DrewAll right. This is not a hermaphrodite. This problem is either some of it looked like a hot chick to me. Somebody was called ambiguous genitalia. They can't tell whether it's male or female.
6:47🔗GuestBecause there is no Adam's apple. The hands are small.
6:50🔗DrewYeah. What they do is sort of complete what nature couldn't complete usually. But they try to assess whether it's a male or female and make it what it's supposed to be.
7:00🔗DrewIt's a hermaphrodite. I don't think I'm not sure it actually exists. I have to look at it. I think it has existed, but it's exceedingly rare. It has both male and female sexual organs.
7:08🔗DrewI have them both. Usually, it's either, it's something called testicular feminization where you have two X chromosomes, but you don't respond to testosterone, so you become a female. Or it's something with ambiguous genitalia and people try to turn you into something just based on what the easiest surgery is to do.
7:25🔗GuestThis is a hot chick, not a dude, and I feel much better knowing you're gay.
7:33🔗AdamThat's, here's what I'm saying. If you're back in your car down the driveway and the neighbor kid's riding by in the big wheel and you run him over, you're not a murderer, even though you killed somebody. You see what I'm saying? It's not volitional.
8:03🔗AdamWe were informed that earlier this evening, the Wildboyz were on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and that there was a slight mishap involving Steve's ass.
8:51🔗AdamAnd it's pretty good. It's about four or five inches long, isn't it? Yeah. And now, is it a baby alligator? Is it a baby alligator or a teenage alligator?
9:50🔗AdamAnd do you test the Gator? Do you get like an AIDS test for the Gator or Gator AIDS? Wait a minute, write that down.
9:58🔗GuestThere's been some of that. People always tend to worry about the Gator more.
10:02🔗AdamOh yeah, that's a good point. That's a very good point. I guarantee that Gator is vomiting in its hotel room right now. All right, so Wild Boys, we were talking to Chris and Steve-O about sharks during the break before the show and swimming with the sharks and doing, I mean, the experience.
10:26🔗CallerOur hero Manny Puig has come with us and in a little while he's going to come onto the air and yeah, he is the gnarliest guy with sharks in the world.
10:35🔗AdamWhere have you guys gotten to go in your travels with Wild Boys? I mean, have you been everywhere, right?
10:40🔗GuestSouth Africa, Florida, Alaska, Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Belize, Kenya, Rwanda, India, Indonesia, Brazil.
10:48🔗AdamWow. I've been to Pan-Ice and Sherman Oaks.
10:51🔗GuestAnd then we did the deep south of America and Mexico.
10:55🔗CallerBut to tell you the truth, everywhere pretty much looks like California. Really?
11:00🔗AdamAnd where are you going? What can we expect? What's coming up?
11:04🔗CallerWe're heading to Argentina in a few weeks.
11:07🔗AdamWhat are you going to be going after in Argentina?
11:18🔗GuestNo, no, I really don't know, man. Like we pay no attention to our production schedule. Like we go to sleep fully unaware of what we're going to be doing.
11:25🔗DrewI think Steve would have mushrooms before tonight's show.
11:27🔗AdamHe does seem like he's got a little mushroom in him.
11:53🔗AdamOh, that's right. Steve won a really super hot girlfriend. I remember I did Stern the next morning and I was angry. I went to bed angry. Anger, spiteful. Then I thought, wow, this guy's got range. One minute he's getting a BJ from some he-she. The next minute he's got some hot, wafy supermodel on his arm. And then the next minute he's got an alligator on his ass.
12:26🔗GuestShe was a Sports Illustrated, Swimsuit Edition model, Victoria's Secret catalog model. Wow. She was the spokesmodel for Wonder Bra, I think.
13:02🔗GuestYeah, so I remember at this party, I asked Dr. Drew, I said, Dr. Drew, what do you look for, you know, in women? You know, like, what fulfills you about having sex, was my question.
13:16🔗GuestI said, dude, Dr. Drew, you, like, what fulfills you about having sex? And, um, and now Dr. Drew walks around, okay? There's, you know, like, he's really, like, you know, I was observing him where my, where May was, you know, and he whispers into my ear, he says, it's all about the chick. Yeah. And, uh, and I said, no way, Dr. Drew, I really expected to hear you say, you know, like, good old fashioned love, you know? And I said that, and he said, yeah, he said, good old fashioned love is the 10th of 10 criteria. And then I introduced him to May. I said, this is my girlfriend, she's a Victoria's Secret model and, you know, whatever. I was like, does that count as any other criteria? And Drew said, that's about seven of the 10, seven of the 10 criteria.
15:07🔗AdamLet's say, you know, I got to say this and take this in spirit, which is intended, but there's that good news, bad news thing when the next guy comes along, which is, wow, this chick is smoking hot. Steve-O was on top for three weeks ago. Like, wow, I'd have to do a thing where I really did something. I do like, man, I got to smoke would start pouring out of my ears. I like, I need time, I got to work this out. I just got to work it out.
16:37🔗DrewWhat do you mean realistic? What do you mean?
16:38🔗CallerWell, I mean, I'm watching these Enzyme commercials.
16:41🔗DrewNo, no, no, no, no, no, no. There is a surgery that you can do and there's two stages to it. In fact, I scrubbed in on one of these surgeries and did one, and I'm going to be interviewing a guy that claims.
16:53🔗DrewI assisted one, and I would have a guy on my television program where he's going to claim it's the greatest thing he ever did for himself, which I'm skeptical about. But the first thing is they dig into your above your pubic bone and disconnect the tendon. It's actually a ligament that holds the penis to the pubic bone, so it pushes out another inch or so. So you gain an inch that way. It's sort of like telescoping out. And then they take the skin, they un-glove, take the skin all the way off the penis, and sew in some cadaver tissue basically. It looks like a giant ravioli. And you sew that in.
17:27🔗DrewIt goes all the way around. Well, about three-quarters of the way. And then you put it goes stem to stern. And then you pull the skin back up.
17:34🔗AdamHow many of those do you stack up? Or is it just one pancake?
17:36🔗DrewNo, you stack up, they stack up four, like four of them.
17:53🔗GuestNow how many of these surgeries are cases of the penis actually being too small? And how many of the surgeries are cases of them people having like really wack mental problems?
18:06🔗DrewI think the small penis is about one out of ten. Yeah. Now the surgeon claims that these guys don't have wack problems. They're satisfied happy customers afterwards. I don't know.
18:16🔗GuestNow, are there any statistics on retention of sensation?
18:21🔗DrewYeah, it's all good. 20% range increase in growth, one inch in length and normal sensation.
18:28🔗GuestYeah, what a great question this guy called with too. It's like, hey, Dr. Drew, what's up with these pills? Dude, do they work? Should I be calling up?
18:51🔗DrewOh, yes. And we'll listen. And just to our, I think I sort of got there while listening to this show. And as a result of that, Kyle decides, or yeah, Kyle decides he wants to play basketball and he feels like he's a black man caught in a little white dude boy's body. And so he wants to turn into a big black man. And he does in the new.
19:07🔗AdamDrew loves South Park now. It's his new favorite show.
19:12🔗AdamIt is. But I like to steer it back to Steve-O's penis, which I can see in my mind's eye because I have the Playboy channel. Yeah. And his penis is...
19:21🔗AdamWell, there's some shows where it's actually exposed. And then on other shows, they just put it in the lower right hand corner. Just like a ghost, like the one that says ESPN 2. Yeah. It's just Steve-O's joint in the lower right hand corner. Night calls, everything. Playboy after dark, everything.
19:37🔗DrewDoes it wave like the flag does on Fox Channel?
19:41🔗DrewAnd sometimes... We don't know why it's waving to you, but like a flag.
19:44🔗AdamIt'll screw up the subtitles, too, on the foreign amateur videos. You can't read the whole thing sometimes. Steve's penis is penis ghost in the Lord of the Rings.
19:53🔗GuestI never heard that. I've heard a lot of compliments about that show.
20:21🔗AdamOh, wow, it's back. It's back. I don't, I don't... If I want to see Steve-O's penis, I just close my eyes. I don't have to look across the console.
20:54🔗AdamWell, all I'm all I'm saying is, is you guys could definitely do a domestic episode where you got a little bit of fat added to Steve's dork or possibly Chris's.
21:04🔗DrewYeah, that's what I was thinking. I think, boy, that's the ultimate sort of wild thing.
21:09🔗CallerI'm the kind of guy, like if I was a chick, I would get like the soup. I'd be driving down to Tijuana to get an operation that's not illegal to do here.
21:40🔗AdamYou can you can get a certain amount, 20 percent more out of what you have, but you can't get 70 percent.
21:47🔗DrewRight. I sort of ask those kinds of questions. They were a little vague as to why they don't try to push the envelope, but I think that sort of they've got this, it works, there's no complication.
21:55🔗CallerYou know, somewhere in the world they are pushing the envelope. Oh yes. That's where you want to be, at Donkeys.
22:01🔗AdamWhat do you think, how much does something like that cost? Did you find that out?
22:04🔗DrewI'm gonna find out. I'll have an interview with the guy.
23:24🔗CallerThat was years before he became a cop.
23:26🔗AdamI'm trying to figure out what's up with his family. And I would go Jew, but Pontius, no. And then they wouldn't be supportive of the whole Wildboyz thing. I'm trying to think. It's a very eclectic, interesting, liberal family. Yeah.
23:41🔗CallerYou give positive support to the parents, I mean to the kids.
24:00🔗AdamThey don't? They're not worried you get like a trampled in a stampede or eaten by a bull shark or something?
24:04🔗CallerThey're not really worried. I think they're so used to it. They don't want me to become like a... They'd be worried if I was a drug addict or something like that.
24:23🔗AdamHave you, Steve, your dad worries about you?
24:26🔗GuestHe does. Yeah, he does. I mean, things keep popping up that shouldn't have happened. You know, like the lion that came up the tree and was all in my back.
24:34🔗DrewYou know, you announced last time you were here, you were going to die soon.
24:46🔗DrewYou decided you would like to live a few years?
24:48🔗GuestI mean, I think what I meant to say was if for any reason I did die right now, I wouldn't be dead at all, pal. I'd live forever. Yeah, there's all these rad videos and TV shows to keep me alive. I leave a legacy behind.
25:46🔗GuestUm, well, I was giving my husband oral last night, and he, you know, he came, and at first it was just, you know, like regular cum, then all of a sudden it was just like a big gush of water.
28:05🔗AdamListen, everyone, things happen all the time. There's a little anomalies, a little changes.
28:10🔗DrewHere's the thing, when you're a physician, you know what the things are you need to worry about. Yeah. That's all we're trying to do. This is not something that's on the list.
28:17🔗AdamNo. We've had this question a thousand times, the tapioca pudding.
28:20🔗GuestYeah. Let me ask this question. Is he going to get the same treatment tonight?
29:05🔗AdamWe can high. Come on, baby. Yeah. I mean, Drew in the hissy. We can high five too. All right, Drew. They're underpress. Let's take a break. Let's go check that number two versus semen thing out.
30:01🔗AdamHey, buddy, it's Loveline and Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Chris Pontius and Steve-O are here tonight. You know, Mr. Wild Boys. MTV2, new season premieres Friday, March 11th, at nine o'clock. What's going on Friday, March 11th? What the?
30:22🔗GuestEveryone's staying home watching MTV2 and Wild Boys.
30:25🔗CallerNo one's going out partying till after Wild Boys is over.
30:27🔗AdamWhere are you guys gonna be on the first episode?
30:31🔗CallerWhere are we gonna be? We're having a party. It's to celebrate the new season and Mr. Knoxville's birthday.
30:39🔗AdamAnd now, I don't mean physically where Chris and Steve are gonna be. What part of the globe, yes?
31:01🔗CallerYeah, out in the gulf. We went out 30 miles into the gulf and we wanted to recreate a shark attack on a surfer. But these certain sharks only live in really deep water where they've never encountered a surfer.
31:13🔗GuestThey never encountered a surfer. So we gave them the first opportunity to attack a surfer.
31:16🔗CallerWe need to find out if these sharks are dangerous to man.
31:19🔗GuestIt was great. Manny tied all this bait to a surfboard. And so I was just kind of floating on the surfboard with these massive sharks. Wow. And so right when we are so macho in that scene, and then immediately as that scene ends, this new scene comes on with the amfema.
32:00🔗CallerWell, some people, it's not for everybody, but tell you the truth, making this show is what we think is funny and what we think is awesome to do, and if you don't like it, eventually you will.
32:10🔗AdamYou know, it was, we're talking a few minutes before we got started here about Drew and I arguing sometimes on the air, but rarely off the air. But you guys get along pretty well yourself, which is pretty rare for celebrities and pretty rare for guys who spend as much time traveling together as you guys do. Yeah.
32:31🔗GuestIt's really pretty amazing. I was asking him during the break, I said, do you guys ever have real nasty fights and then pretend you like each other on the air? And they said that if that were the case, that the show wouldn't work and that people would know about it. I was like, that's cool. Chris and I have never had a fight. There's been times when you told me I was wack and you were right, but you didn't hold a grudge.
32:51🔗AdamI mean, you both seem sort of gregarious, easygoing and maybe you have the same kind of personality.
32:57🔗GuestWe have different personalities. Chris hates being famous.
33:01🔗GuestEvery job on Chris' resume is something that A, landed on his lap and B, other people pushed him into doing it. What else? Chris has zero ego whatsoever.
33:26🔗CallerRight after a while after I actually dropped out of high school. I started working for Big Brother and in a skateboard magazine.
33:34🔗DrewAnd then I eventually I see why the parents are happy at this gig. Yeah.
33:38🔗CallerThe first time I the first time I got fired, I'm like, Oh, my God, I dropped out of high school. I don't I have no skills and anything else. What the hell am I going to do? So so first I was like, man, I'll work at Jamba Juice. Lots of hot chicks come in there. I'll drink smoothies all day. It's going to be rad. And then I lasted two days, I think. And it was just horrible. Like the second day of work, the guy from the competing skateboard magazine came in for a smoothie and like he totally recognized me. And I was so bummed. And everyone I worked with was like 15.
34:10🔗AdamAnd how did you get hooked up? I know we probably asked you this before, but how did the whole Jackass thing get started for you? Where were you right before Jackass?
34:19🔗CallerI was I was working for Big Brother Skateboard Magazine.
34:22🔗GuestAnd it's a skateboard magazine that's published by a pornographer, Larry Flint.
34:25🔗AdamOh, Larry Flint has like 35 magazines, including Yachting and Canberra.
34:33🔗GuestYeah, the editor in chief of the magazine, who's like the creative force behind it. I mean, he had Knoxville. Knoxville came out with us in the skateboard videos. Yeah, he just had to kind of had us all. And that guy who's now the director of Wildboyz and Jackass and all, you know, the movie and everything, the director, Jeff Tremaine, just so happened to grow up with Spike Jones in Maryland when they were 12. So it's really just a matter of, you know, Jeff having us all, you know, none of us skate, but we're in the skateboard videos. And the director just thought, wow, you know, if I would just take out the stupid skateboarding, you know, and all what's left over, you know, I could make a TV show. And he just called up Spike Jones and was like, yeah, I got this plan.
35:13🔗AdamWe were, we're always lamenting about how much money Jackass made and how little everyone got compensated, namely Steve and Chris. But any idea now, now that's out on video or DVD, I see it on cable, everything.
35:42🔗GuestWow. It's the same watch as my dad has, except I got diamonds all over it. So I said, dad, check it out. I took you out, man. I got your watch, except with diamonds. My dad said, my homophobia kicks in anytime a man wears diamonds. So I like completely backfired on you.
35:56🔗AdamLike dad, you think that's gay. I got a story. I got a story in Washington.
36:26🔗AdamWe're going to play a little something called Germany or Florida, which is all bizarre stories emanate from either Germany or Florida. So we hear the F'ed up bizarre story and then we decide, is it Germany or is it Florida?
36:47🔗A man was found after being lost for 36 hours. He's reported missing by his wife after he failed to return from a bicycle trip. When the 40 policemen searched for him until his cries for help led to his discovery hanging naked upside down from a tree. A video camera was positioned to capture his adventure on tape. Investigators speculate that the man who was suspended naked 12 feet off the ground by his feet was attempting to film an auto erotic situation. After completing his video, he was too tired to pull himself up to untie his feet, so he hung upside down until rescued. Lack of circulation led to such a severe injury that his left foot had to be amputated.
37:54🔗AdamYeah, and by the way, how do you finish that story? What happened to your foot?
37:59🔗GuestI was jerking off, hanging upside down.
38:01🔗AdamBy the way, it's one of those things where you definitely have to get your story straight with your wife before you leave the house. Foot, farming accident. You got it.
38:34🔗GuestThere was this guy, and it's a story that the American media absolutely avoids like the plague. But this guy actually put on, like he said, a sexual cannibal. And he said that he put on an internet ad out, a personal ad that said, seeking young, healthy male for execution or for to be executed and eaten.
38:58🔗GuestYou know, and he got like 400 responses where he got these guys to come in, like for like sort of an audition where they'd come over. And he whittled it down to like one guy who moved in with them and became his roommate. And then ultimately, you know, ultimately they picked the day and they literally cut this guy's, they cut off his wiener.
39:17🔗DrewThey set up a butcher shop in their kitchen.
39:20🔗GuestYeah, I'm not sure they filmed everything. There's apparently two hours of footage on the internet. But yeah, they sit down, they cut this guy's penis off where the guy's just bleeding to death. And then the guy, after his penis is cut off, he goes and he's in the bathtub or whatever, you know, just bleeding and bleeding. And you know, the guy takes his penis and prepares it and fries it up. And then the guy comes back down, still bleeding. Apparently it went on for hours before the guy bled to death. And they shared, they shared, the guy ate his own penis. And they filmed everything and they both ate it. That was their meal that they shared.
39:55🔗GuestAnd then the remains of the guy, the guy kept in the freezer and every so often he would incrementally eat this dead body. And each meal he would actually pleasure himself onto the meal. Oh my God.
40:15🔗AdamIf you're the guy in Germany who lost his foot while he was being off in the woods, you hope that the family of this guy shows up. So it's like, what happened to your son? Farm accident, wait a minute, what happened to my foot?
40:27🔗GuestWhat's even more horrifying than anything is that this German guy was actually brought to trial and convicted of, it was established that there was consent on the victim, part of the victim. So it was only manslaughter. But you know, cannibalism is not illegal in Germany whatsoever and for the crime of manslaughter, this wacko is only going to be in prison for like less than five years and there's going to be more red internet, it's going to have to document what's going to happen.
40:53🔗DrewI mean, do we ever need to doubt how bizarre and non-cognitively driven men are, you know, human, you know what I mean? But it's not women are doing this. Women are not doing this.
41:04🔗AdamBut here's maybe the woman that's always with.
41:10🔗AdamIndividual. But here's the thing, I think the Germans have more potential for this kind of stuff than any other culture. Normally they're on the straight and narrow, that's the kind of culture where if your neighbor has wind chimes and they're not approved by the state, you can phone them in and get them removed and stuff. But once in a while when they go AWOL, they go in a big way. I just think they have more potential. Other cultures are more effed up in a more sort of all-encompassing yet less dramatic way. You know what I mean? There's a high percentage of effed up people in, I don't know, the Philippines or maybe the Netherlands or something, but Germany, when they go off, they go off on 12 cylinders.
41:54🔗GuestWe travel the world and we'll go to these places that are tourist places and it's always the Germans that they're the most fun to party with.
42:08🔗GuestYeah, he speaks a little German. We didn't even know that until...
42:11🔗AdamI think we kicked Wee Man through a field goal post about two or three years ago on MTV Super Bowl special, landing him in a vat of nacho cheese.
42:33🔗AdamNo, let me tell you something. Dwarfs, just the fingers and toes on a dwarfs get up about 60, 70 pounds sometimes.
42:39🔗GuestI have a picture of Wee Man's wiener, and it doesn't look that good in the picture. But he's been saying for years, there's nothing wee about his wiener.
42:47🔗AdamWell, and certainly not in proportion to his body. I mean, if he's got three inches, it's like us having 14, right?
43:05🔗AdamMTV2, everyone. We'll take ourselves a quick break. We'll be right back after this.
43:10🔗CallerThank you for calling Loveline. Your call will be answered in the order it seems interesting.
43:36🔗AdamHey, everybody, it's the Love Line. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Chris Pontius is here tonight from Wildboyz. Steve-O is here tonight as well, but we know not where.
44:17🔗CallerAnyway, I was doing that. I hadn't done it for a while either. Like, right when I first pulled it off, I was just hooked. I tried for like a year, you know, like when I was 12. And finally, like maybe 12 and a half, 13, I pulled it off.
45:06🔗AdamWe'll take a call. Chris will line up another question.
45:10🔗GuestChris wouldn't be able to answer the question.
45:11🔗DrewThe blood encema is very common. It rarely means anything. For you, it was a while ago, so you don't need to worry about it. But if you have it, say somebody's listening tonight has had it recently, should be checked out by urologist or a doctor just to be sure.
45:38🔗DrewOkay. Blood in the urine, blood in the stool is a little more specific. It's only three or four possibilities, the most likely possibilities. The blood in the urine, a lot of different possibilities.
45:50🔗CallerDr. Drew, is it true that pineapple juice makes your semen taste better?
45:54🔗DrewNo, apparently not. And really, how much better are you gonna make it? You know what I'm saying?
46:00🔗GuestThey say chocolate, they say chocolate.
46:02🔗CallerI have to confess something on the radio. I did recently, like when I was maybe like 15, I had a little taste, you know? But not a real taste, but recently I did go for a real taste. I just want to know how much I should appreciate what women put up with. Yeah, what women put up with.
46:53🔗AdamMaybe I was hanging upside down like that German in the tree. I could probably get myself-
46:56🔗CallerBut have you ever taken like a real scoop, like a real taste?
46:59🔗GuestNo, dude, there's one time I shot myself and a little bit landed on my lip, and I was like, you know, it's the kind of thing where you're like, you know what, I just gave it a little lick.
47:11🔗DrewBut- Can you imagine making that taste better? No. How much better is it going to be?
47:16🔗GuestBut I didn't lick it enough to evaluate the taste, you know? I was so disgusted by-
47:20🔗DrewOccasionally over the years, we've asked people to sort of do some research, and they-
47:25🔗CallerNo one can find a way to actually make it taste good.
47:27🔗DrewHow are you going to make your poo better? You know what I mean? Things come out of you, and they come out in the form they come out in, and that's that.
47:32🔗CallerYeah, I was not pleased with the way my semen tasted.
48:05🔗AdamThat's, you know, you think acting is bad in porn, that part where they have to pretend to enjoy it. Oh, give me some. I like when the two women pretend to fight over it. Yummy, yum, yum, yum, yum. It's like they're not really fighting over it.
48:20🔗CallerI guess some people like Brussels sprouts and some people don't.
48:24🔗GuestAnd I think it's really like, you know, like the significance of it isn't in the taste of it, you know, like there's more going on there.
48:31🔗DrewBut Adam occasionally has pointed out that men still got a little bit rougher. Your churro.
48:37🔗AdamYeah, yeah. I say when women complain, I say, what do you want to do? Put a churro in your mouth or go down on an abalone? You know what I mean?
49:50🔗DrewIt's all the fun we're having in between.
49:51🔗AdamBelieve me, we're going to have a nice 25 minutes stretch when we come back. All right. Wild Boys here. MTV2, Chris and Steve-O. But we'll be right back after this. Hey, buddy, it's the Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. We're trying to do a radio show over here. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Chris Pontius is here tonight. Steve-O is here in spirit, if not in body, because he's off urinating on someone else's desk. Drew is a switched microphone.
51:05🔗DrewWhenever he's sort of not within my visual frame, I get nervous.
51:09🔗AdamYeah, he's like a puppy that chooses a lot of slippers. You want to keep an eye on him, because God knows what he's doing.
51:19🔗AdamYeah, get in here, Steve. Wildboyz is the name of the show, MTV2, of course. Big premiere, big season premiere, Friday, March 11th. Manny Puig is in the studio tonight. Manny is the shark expert. He's the man who holds his breath for five and a half minutes and grabs hammerheads by the tail.
51:43🔗AdamNow, how did you guys get hooked up with Manny?
51:45🔗GuestWell, Chris and our director were watching Animal Planet. They saw this wild man wrestling 12-foot alligators and riding sharks around while wearing a speedo. Oh, yeah. That's right.
51:57🔗AdamThat's right. I have now. Now I see when I close one eye, I see Steve-O's penis. When I close the other, I see Manny in a banana hammer.
52:09🔗AdamPull that mic in close to you, Manny and Manny. Yeah, just yank the whole thing in there. How and how did you get started wrestling with gators and grabbing sharks and doing all that stuff?
52:20🔗When I was a kid, I wanted to be like Tarzan. I mean, like at the age of four.
52:24🔗So by the time I was in high school, I was already hand catching large alligators in the wild by hand. I already got bit by rattlesnake and I got attacked by a shark right around that time.
52:32🔗AdamWhere? And this was all in your living room? That's a tough neighborhood.
52:39🔗AdamThat's the beauty about Florida. You can get attacked by a shark, bit by a rattlesnake and a wrestle an alligator before kindergarten. Really?
52:48🔗AdamYeah. And so, I mean, a lot of wildlife around there. I think people have two reactions to wildlife. They're either freaked out by like, oh my God, I'm freaked, get that spider out of here, or my God, there's a snake out in the lawn or whatever, which about 99 percent of the populace. And then there's that one percent that's drawn to it. I don't know that there's a third that's in between, that just doesn't seem to care one way or the other. You're either kind of freaked out or usually drawn to it. And the majority is freaked out. And then there's the mannies of the world. But you've done stuff that other people didn't do before you. Is that correct?
53:26🔗I broke barriers with the alligators, like swimming underwater with them. I was the first guy to levitate an alligator.
53:36🔗I reach underneath and grab him by the skin underneath his jaw and slowly lift him up. And the alligator stays real calm when I do it.
53:43🔗AdamLike 12 foot long alligators. Let me ask you this about animals. Do they, like, see, here's the thing about humans. You could levitate a handful of them and then the other half would stab you and then the other half would ejaculate. You know what I mean? We're all over the map. You know what I'm saying? But an alligator, if you know one, do you know all of them?
54:03🔗CallerAll alligators are different, just like people. Some are more dangerous, more aggressive than others. But every alligator, if not the first or second try, I can levitate them. Really?
54:14🔗AdamAnd what about sharks? I mean, do some animals vary more than others?
54:20🔗GuestYeah, I'd say people have varied by far the most.
54:23🔗AdamYeah, like rattlesnakes are basically rattlesnakes. No, they vary.
54:28🔗CallerRattlesnakes vary, sharks vary. Sharks, I hand feed in a different way. I have my own style and also levitate the sharks. I'll lift them all the way to the surface. I hand feed them and I hang on to the food.
54:40🔗CallerAnd I feel good to feel his power and I reach underneath his shin and his stomach and I push him off the surface.
54:45🔗AdamWow. And do you wear the shark tooth choker when you're with the sharks? Because that could freak them out, you know?
54:51🔗GuestMan, he's such a legend. They let him on airplanes with those things. No problem.
54:54🔗AdamOh, really? I just mean in front of the shark. Like, if a guy was wearing a human tooth necklace and he was standing in front of me, I'd be pissed off. I'd be like, hey, those are my brother's teeth, man. What's going on? What's up? But you can, what's the biggest shark you think you've monkeyed with?
55:11🔗CallerTiger sharks up to 12 feet, great hammerheads around the same size.
55:16🔗AdamHere's the thing about fish, too, as you guys know.
55:19🔗AdamYou take like a bass that's 14 inches long and go underwater with it, it looks big. Like everything's freakier when you're underwater. I mean, a three-foot shark is freaky when you're underwater.
55:30🔗GuestFirst time I went out with Manny, like to go try and ride these great hammerheads, like we were with Manny, he was just chomping away, like ultimately for six hours, just hacking away at me, trying to get sharks to come. And you know, every so often he'd see a shark, you know, at which point we put on our snorkels and dive in, you know, and swim towards the shark. So at one point, like it was just, it was kind of over there. And rather than even say anything, he just, we just see Manny treading water, and he grabs this huge hammerhead and literally like, he just lifts it up out of the ocean. He just showed it to us.
56:02🔗CallerHe came up to the surface with a 10 foot hammerhead in his arms.
56:13🔗AdamAnd so Manny, have you ever been, obviously you've been bitten, obviously you've had animals turn on you or surprise you. Have you ever, have you lost a finger, anything serious?
56:26🔗CallerYeah, I got a loss of a piece of meat from the inside of one of my legs to a shark. I've been bitten by four different kinds of sharks, but never by an alligator. A lot of close calls.
56:36🔗DrewWhat do you think about the alligator that got Steve-O today? Should it have taken off some more flesh?
56:40🔗CallerHe's, I've seen another alligator hurt him worse.
56:44🔗CallerYeah, they can vary their attack, you know, depending on...
56:48🔗GuestI got away very lucky. For the size of the alligator, I was prepared to lose a lot of my butt.
56:53🔗CallerThat alligator could have done him a lot more damage. Alligators have tremendous pressure and their bite, and that's around the size of the really start cranking down.
57:00🔗AdamYou know what I was thinking? I was just getting weird and philosophical one night, but I was thinking about alligators, and I was talking to Drew about it, which was alligators have been on the planet for 100 million years. Nobody's f'ed with them. Everyone has steered clear of them. Now, in the last six years, every jackass in the world is coming and f'ing with alligators, and alligators got to be like, what the hell is going on? For 100 million years, all we did was float here, and if we wanted to wag our tail around there, we'd just go running. Now we got guys in jockstraps diving on us, big fat Australian guys wrestling us to the ground, like, what is going on? If there's an alligator convention, they'd be like, what is happening? What is going on? We had a run of 150 million years with nothing, and now the last 18 months, it's hell.
57:48🔗GuestWe're getting wrestled all over the place.
57:50🔗DrewDid you know what happened to Hal? He what?
58:05🔗CallerI think everybody's looking for different adrenaline rushes and everything, and people are all of a sudden getting into nature, and everybody wants to be a diver, a woodsman, and they want to see the thrill of getting close to a dangerous wild animal.
58:19🔗AdamI'm down with the great white and the shark cage and all that, but the swimming with them in the wild is freaky.
58:27🔗CallerWe did something. We filmed with some rattlesnakes the other day, and man, he's got a stick like he's going to handle the snake with a stick. Right when he sees the rattlesnake, he just throws the stick down and clamps it.
58:39🔗GuestHe said he had it in case the rattlesnake was going to try and get away. He was just going to have to get it back, at which point he could throw the stick down and go with his bare hands.
58:48🔗AdamDid you see, by the way, at the Monterey Aquarium, they got that great white in captivity now.
59:03🔗GuestIt's really, really cool, because I didn't know he was there and I walked in and it was coming right towards me. I'm like, oh my God, it's a great white, because I'd never seen him. It was like seeing a famous person.
59:19🔗GuestWhat's your opinion of keeping a great white in captivity? That sucks, right? Well, not really.
59:24🔗CallerI think it's okay because people get to see it and learn from it. Maybe the animals get, the more people are interested in, the more people are keeping from becoming extinct. People were interested in, these things belong to everybody. So they decorate the planet.
59:42🔗GuestI'm an animal expert, but I just can't stand zoos.
59:53🔗AdamHe's part of the comforter for Ramona, too. Let me say this about Manny. Well, I actually watched a video today with the guys going down and swimming with this great white at the Monterey Aquarium, and they were put on chain suits to go down and do it, but I thought, what pussies. Manny could go down in a Speedo, and first off, delight the throngs of school kids that were there watching.
1:00:19🔗DrewWe'll flip the shark over and scratch its belly.
1:00:21🔗AdamScratch its belly, but just Manny underwater in a Speedo would be nice for the ninth graders that were visiting from local junior high. That would be awesome. But would you go down with that great white in a Speedo?
1:00:34🔗CallerI'll go in with any shark, anytime, any place. And what I do is I try to get the shark to come as close to me as possible so I can touch it and interact with it. And it's easy to stop an attacking shark.
1:00:47🔗CallerNo, anything, any movement you make at it, he thinks you're going to bite and they tend to scare. If you act aggressive towards him, you scare him. Which I don't do that because I don't want the shark to leave.
1:00:56🔗CallerAnd I'm trying to keep him around me, you know. If they're trying to bite me really, really hard, then I'll block, you know.
1:01:03🔗AdamDo you think that obviously animals communicate or have abilities that sort of transcend our own hearing and sight, you know, their intuitive or instinct or whatever? Do you feel like the animals pick something off, pick something up off of you? I mean, your vibe, you're not scared or you're not there to hurt them or any of that kind of stuff?
1:01:25🔗CallerThey learn very quickly and figure you out real quickly. If you got a food form, then they know you got it. If you're a threat to them, then they learn to fear you. Right. So you kind of dictate their behavior. People say in Florida, alligators have a natural fear of humans. They don't have a natural fear of humans. That was caused by humans shooting out of guns for too many years. Right. Normally, their instinct would be to try to go after a person and eat them. Nobody in the world wants to hear that. Everybody's negative for me to say that. But if you look at the history in Florida, they were eating Indians by the time when the first Europeans landed there. Alligators would attack Indian villages in broad daylight. The thing that the settlers shot at them so many times in so many years, that they learned and genetically, we removed the more aggressive ones out of the pack, yeah.
1:02:10🔗AdamWell, that's interesting. So the ones that came and tried to do a little feasting on Whitey or the Indians got shot and they got moved. They didn't have aggressive kids. We'll start doing that.
1:02:23🔗CallerThat's my theory. I know that too is, I'm only interested in usually predatory animals that attack humans and stuff like that. I really never studied like manatees and things like that.
1:02:33🔗GuestYeah, because it's all about the glory. I think it's about the glory.
1:02:37🔗DrewYou want the thrill of going in with them?
1:02:38🔗CallerIt's the thrill, the challenge, the predator. It's testosterone.
1:02:42🔗AdamHere's the thing too, you want to study a manatee, you just study, it's like studying a fat lesbian.
1:03:20🔗AdamYeah. So Manny, what's the biggest, now you ever been in with a great white, like a big great white shark?
1:03:26🔗CallerI haven't been in with great whites, but I've been with large makles, which are the cousins of the great white, and they're faster, very aggressive.
1:03:35🔗CallerYeah, they try to bite your ankles too. Oh, really? Yeah. When you bring them in, they get really aggressive and fearless. They live in an open ocean. They attack swordfish for living.
1:03:59🔗CallerYeah, they don't stab just about anybody or anything that comes near them.
1:04:04🔗AdamSwordfish would go right through, you know? No problem, right?
1:04:07🔗CallerI was going to go dive great whites off of Southern California, but none of the boat captains want to put me on their boat and take me down there. I really...
1:04:20🔗CallerYeah. Liability, they're all like, hey dudes, take me out. I had a guy that says, man, I'm taking you to the swim of great whites and you don't know the boat called in and said, no way, no way.
1:04:39🔗AdamThat's how they feed. But these ones especially in Northern California do this whole thing where they attack the seals that way. They just come down and they come straight up and they come sailing into the air like 8, 10 feet in the air. They completely get out of the water, which is crazy for two. Yeah, they breach for 2,000 pound animal.
1:05:01🔗AdamThey oftentimes, sometimes they just knock it out of the way.
1:05:04🔗GuestNo, it's the Pacific. It's the Pacific great white sharks, they eat the big 500 pounders. Over in South Africa, they eat the, that's where they do the jumping, the ditch really.
1:05:12🔗AdamOh, I think they do the jumping in Northern California, the breaching in Northern California too.
1:05:17🔗GuestThey were able to get them too, but what they naturally hunt for, it doesn't swim at the surface.
1:05:23🔗CallerThey hunt elephant seals, which are, the bigger great whites go out to the elephant seals. By the way, the mako jumps 20 feet into the air.
1:05:34🔗CallerThey're the fastest shark there is. The adult mako is really fat, but his face is sharper. He doesn't carry as much front weight as a great white. He's got more meat towards your rear to give him more propulsion.
1:05:43🔗CallerBut Manny, which one is the most aggressive shark of all the sharks?
1:05:46🔗CallerTo me, I mean, it depends on their day. I've had very aggressive behavior from bull sharks. I got attacked by six bull sharks for a half hour nonstop one day, and I had no food for them or nothing. It was just an all out attack.
1:06:04🔗CallerBy attacking them, scaring them. Not that I'm going to physically hurt them, just every time I go after them, they back off, and then they come after me again. It was just a dog game. It went on for a half hour until the bull finally picked me up. They would not let up on it. They were determined to have me, and it was six of them. They were ganging up on me, and they were trying to have me. I also work a lot with the tiger shark, which is the most man-eating shark there is.
1:06:25🔗AdamThey're the ones that are the cause of all the accidents.
1:06:28🔗GuestThe ones with no arms are all tiger sharks.
1:06:30🔗CallerHe actually put a tiger shark to sleep.
1:06:32🔗CallerNo, I tried. No, I rolled the tiger shark on his back one time to see if he had, you know, tried to put him in tonic immobility. As he swam by, I grabbed and rolled him, and he took off with me, you know, holding onto him. Yeah, as he was swimming upside down. And, you know, I just let him go. But I can put a shark in tonic immobility, but it's not, if it's a fresh shark just free-swimming in the ocean, it's not that easy to do. You got to pin it just right.
1:06:56🔗CallerI've done it with hammerheads, lemons and silky sharks.
1:06:59🔗GuestOh, my God. The best is when they've got they go on the boat and they find like a humongous like lemon shark and they like track it. They pace by it side by side. And then Manny jumps off the boat and lands on the back of the lemon shark and then stands up and picks him up in the air. It's called shark jumping.
1:07:17🔗CallerYeah, we used to do shark jumping. My partner, Mark Reckley, came up with that invention.
1:07:27🔗CallerWell, the extreme cameraman, he came up with that idea. But we used to use the boat to track the sharks that way. And plus, the sharks would get so mad, they'd start attacking the boat. And when you jump in there, you know, I got my thumb almost bit off doing that. By the way, I had to put my hand inside the mouth of a lemon shark to pry it open. Cut my hands and get my thumb out.
1:07:46🔗AdamYeah, look, for the amount of animals you're effing with, you're in a remarkable shape. I mean, you could be missing, you know, fingers and toes and a nose. I mean, for the amount of alligators and sharks and rattlesnakes you've been effing with for the last 30 years.
1:08:02🔗GuestSo, so, Manny, hold on a second. My question, I just want to ask Manny this. If you were to one day be with a shark and just absolutely be just killed, just torn to bits and dead, would that be a peaceful death? Like, you know, like you love sharks so much.
1:08:19🔗CallerI don't really think of that. I don't want to have a peaceful death of any kind. I don't want to be torn up by a shark. Another thing, we don't do the shark jumps anymore. We intercept the sharks from underwater. Like, I really don't catch sharks. But like one time in California, I had caught a mako, just to see what it was like. And I lured him in and I hand tackled him. And it was like hanging on to an outboard motor until a shark got tired. We checked him out, then I released him and he took off.
1:08:47🔗AdamIt would be one of the things where we would go, he died doing what he loved.
1:08:50🔗GuestYeah, exactly. See, that's what I was meant to say.
1:08:52🔗AdamUntil what he loved ate him, which doesn't normally happen. Like, I love cooking, but it would never, I would never be eaten by like the Pillsbury Joe boy.
1:09:11🔗Actually, it was just, you guys are cracking me out talking about like the porn videos and stuff you watch about the girls and like what it tastes like and stuff.
1:09:50🔗AdamAll right. Ashley, it's not good or is it better than than we thought?
1:09:54🔗CallerIt's not good. I mean, when you're I'm going to say like when you're in like an intimate moment like that, you don't really think about it.
1:10:06🔗AdamAshley, did you have a did you have a problem with your boyfriend that you want to talk about or are you cool?
1:10:11🔗CallerYeah, actually I did. We just there's me and him. We went out for like a year and a half and we're he's like one of me. He's like my best friend. We just were together all the time. It just sometimes like we have these situations where like he'll get so mad and he won't like hit me or like touch me to hurt me. But he'll push me away from him. And sometimes like guys don't know their own strength and he'll he'll just push me and he'll not back me down and then.
1:10:36🔗AdamWell, and why are you coming after him? Or where is he? Is he coming after you?
1:10:41🔗CallerWell, what happens? We'll get into just an argument about something. He's so stubborn and he's like, I don't want to talk about it. He'll just walk away. And it's usually when we're out and like some kind of social gathering, like we're like be at a bar or something.
1:10:54🔗GuestAnd he'll get all like, you know what, Ashley, I think you should cheat on him.
1:10:59🔗CallerYeah, as punishment. That's not knowing his own strength.
1:11:02🔗DrewAnd otherwise you're doing well in the relationship. You feel good about it?
1:11:05🔗CallerYeah. Oh, yeah, he's everything's fine other than that. But it's not always just like, you know, drunken bar scenes. This happens even when sometimes it's more sober. It's just he's so stubborn. He always walks away from an argument or something.
1:11:19🔗GuestYeah, see walk away, I think is two words that people need to learn a lot of the time. Just walk away, dude.
1:11:25🔗AdamAshley is a little bit of a fire starter because he's walking away and then it's getting to the point where he shoves her because so she's getting in his way.
1:11:32🔗CallerThe word the man should do is walk away.
1:11:42🔗CallerOh, no, I've got a happy, healthy family. They're all here, but I was just wondering with him, like he had a divorce in his family when he was younger and his mom's kind of like, kind of in that middle age, like seeing where he's been throughout.
1:11:58🔗GuestCome on, you're talking to a bunch of guys in their middle age, baby, mellow out.
1:12:03🔗AdamAshley, look, him putting his hands on you isn't right. On the other hand, I can just hear in your voice, you antagonize him a little bit when he's trying to avoid this situation.
1:12:19🔗GuestWell, I bet some more people should do his walk away. That's my tactic.
1:12:22🔗CallerThe thing, well, the thing is is that I'm, he, yeah, you're right, he shouldn't put his hands on me at all, but he does it. He'll push me down or something. And then I like, just recently he did this outside of a bar, and like a bunch of people saw him and stuff. And like there's, I had a huge bruise all along.
1:12:38🔗GuestThank God Chris Pontius wasn't there.
1:12:49🔗CallerHe had a work truck and he ran out of the truck and throwing stuff at me. And I'm like, it's just, he just gets, I mean.
1:12:55🔗DrewWait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
1:12:57🔗AdamSee, it started off as him trying to walk away from an argument, you getting in his grill and him pushing you aside basically. And now he's throwing furniture at you.
1:13:07🔗DrewAnd then he throws a lamp, which to me suggests he picks up a lamp off a coffee table and heaves it.
1:13:27🔗AdamWorld's angriest college student movers, starving, angry college student movers. So, Ashley.
1:13:34🔗GuestThe question is, how much does she have to antagonize the guy to get him to throw stuff?
1:13:38🔗AdamHere's the thing, he was divorced already? How old is he?
1:13:42🔗GuestNo, no, she had a divorce in his family.
1:13:44🔗CallerNo, I'm sorry, he had a divorce in his family.
1:13:45🔗AdamThat's right. No, you're right. That's right. All right. Here's the deal. This guy sounds now like he has a volatile temper. It also sounds like you like dancing with him. And people, now, this is a weird thing, but-
1:13:57🔗GuestThe negativity is what makes relationships last the longest.
1:14:01🔗AdamLook, most people in relationships, when they have a complaint about the other person, there is a component that they're involved in. When you say, my old lady does this all the time, there's a part of you that gets her to do that all the time, and vice versa. So he's volatile, she antagonizes him, and brings out that volatility-
1:14:23🔗GuestAnd the relationship thrives on negativity.
1:14:25🔗AdamRight, someone's gonna get hurt, though. And that person's gonna be manning.
1:14:29🔗AdamBecause one of those bears or sharks, something's gonna eat him one day.
1:14:32🔗GuestAshley, is your relationship the kind where you guys break up and get back together all the time? Because that's where- What do you think?
1:14:38🔗AdamDo you just break up and get back together?
1:14:40🔗GuestHow many times have you guys broken up and gotten back together?
1:14:43🔗CallerNo, we've never, actually we've never broken up.
1:14:45🔗AdamAll right, how long have you been together?
1:14:53🔗AdamYeah, she's 19, forget it. It didn't work out.
1:14:55🔗DrewYou should be dating guys and getting to know them.
1:14:57🔗GuestYeah, you should be related. Variety's the spice of life, baby.
1:15:00🔗DrewWell, it's not even that so much as you really don't know who you are and what you need in a relationship so you've been out there sort of tried to go out with a character that really likes to antagonize me.
1:15:24🔗CallerIt's hard to get in to make this kind of contact with the cats, but I haven't had my chance, but with the bears, I got in with a bear swimming one time and I got behind, I started petting the bear in the water. I swam with grizzly bears in Alaska with the Wildboyz.
1:15:36🔗DrewWow. And would kill the whales. You only interact with animals in water?
1:15:40🔗CallerNo, I went out recently in the woods and I got close enough to bears so the bears would do attacks and mark charges on me, so my bro could get it on video of bears attacking and demonstrate how a bear attacks a person. Usually they make this mad rush and he stops like a few feet in front of you and hisses and slaps the ground, but at that time it kind of like jars your system when he does that.
1:16:01🔗AdamAnd if you turn and run he'll just keep coming?
1:16:04🔗CallerVery likely, so you kind of like your instinct is to jump back but you turn around and face him real quick and like the male, the female attacks, usually a female does it, attacks a male bear when she's got cubs and when the male bear takes off running she runs after him full blast. If he holds his ground she hesitates a little more on her attack, but the ferocity of a bear is incredible. It was genetically again the more aggressive females like that are the ones who protect the young so that gene has passed on over generations making the bears extremely ferocious.
1:16:31🔗DrewIt is nice the way he looks at these things, he's very truthful.
1:16:37🔗DrewBut there's also no sort of fantasy involved, no myth, it's just evolution, evolutionary pressure, that's all you got.
1:16:45🔗AdamIs the Kodiak the most dangerous or you think the Grizzly is?
1:16:49🔗CallerWell, the Kodiak and the Grizzly are in the brown, they're brown bears. The Grizzly is almost like, it's a brown bear, it's like a, I would say a sub-species, but it's practically the same bear. The black bear and the brown bear, two different ones. The black bear is more unpredictable. And they're more in contact with humans, so most attacks done on humans are done by black bears. Both have eaten, killed and eaten people before. Now the Kodiak is the largest of the Grizzlies of the brown bears, if you want to say. The brown bear is found from Eastern Europe all the way to Western North America.
1:17:21🔗DrewNow we can add chimpanzees to your list of animals you need to get involved with.
1:17:24🔗CallerYeah, now you gotta understand the largest carnivore land, mammal carnivore on the planet, is the Kodiak or Aleutian bear, that coastal brown bear over there. They can get up to like 1,500 pounds.
1:17:34🔗AdamWhat about, wow, we gotta take a break, but I'll tell you, the most dangerous prey of all, Drew, man, I like those movies when they would do that. The hunter, he wants the ultimate prey.
1:17:49🔗AdamThe guy in the jeans and the sweat jacket, not the polar bear, not the shark, nothing? Man?
1:17:55🔗GuestI think I can answer your question, though. Like, Manny's not interested in the animals that are in captivity, so that's why you're not gonna see him with big cats because they're just too hard to track down from here.
1:18:05🔗AdamManny Puig is here tonight. He's the mentor and the muse of the Wildboyz.
1:18:19🔗CallerIt's kind of like if you mixed Tarzan and Aquaman, but they were way radder.
1:18:23🔗AdamYeah, it's hot. He's got a beard and a long hair. It's like Aquaman meets Aqualung. Yeah, a little Jeff West hole. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back after this.
1:18:37🔗GuestLoveline with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
1:18:54🔗AdamHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. The Wildboyz are here. Chris Pontius, Steve-O, and Manny Puig is here. He is their, well, I guess he's sort of the Wrangler, their muse, their mentor, the father figure. He goes out, he rides sharks, he wrestles bears, he wrestles, he puts alligators to sleep. He's a man amongst men.
1:19:30🔗GuestHe doesn't. I mean, the women absolutely flock to Manny. Oh, yeah. You know, he's got this amazing story about this one time he was at a campsite and this girl invited him into her sleeping bag. And she couldn't even get his zipper down, he said, and he exploded. That's true, right, Manny?
1:19:53🔗CallerHe's a man. Yes, he's a passionate, very passionate man.
1:19:57🔗GuestHe's the best. But for the most part, you know, for all the women that Manny could get, I'm telling you, like when we go to a nightclub or something like that, like we put Manny right at the front, he's so recognizable. And people just genuinely love him so much. He could get so many women. But how many times have you been laid in the last two years, Manny?
1:20:17🔗CallerNot too often. I do get into it sometimes. I never really plan on it. It kind of happens.
1:20:26🔗CallerI want to check everybody out. So I made these little shark cards with my name and phone number on them. And I hand them to the chicks by the hundreds and thousands. And then I see how many call back.
1:20:34🔗AdamIs there a picture of you on there with the shark in the Speedo? Can I see that?
1:20:39🔗GuestYes. You're going to get the card without the number because you're a dude.
1:20:42🔗AdamWell, no, pass it along to my sister. She's married, man.
1:20:49🔗CallerAnd once we're kids, the make of shark is for the kids.
1:20:51🔗GuestThe phone number is for the hot chicks.
1:20:53🔗GuestAnd then he gives these out all day long.
1:20:56🔗CallerThe kids will be calling you. So I get to the hot chicks call. And then a certain percentage of them call, then you filter down to see what boils down to an actual date. And I deal in volumes.
1:21:33🔗CallerSharper face. These are the teeth of the Mako right here.
1:21:36🔗AdamYeah, I mean, it would be like putting your... It's like a cactus coming at you. Yeah. To me, the animal that looks the cuddliest and it is the most ferocious is the polar bear. Like you see a polar bear on one of these nature channels, you want to jump up and hug it. Like you just want to wrestle it and cuddle with it. They look sweet. They got those huge paws and that little head. They're all kind of... They lumber along. They got that weird little tail on them. They look sweet, but I hear they're very vicious. But the thing that's crazy about a polar bear is polar bear jumps off the iceberg, swims around in the Arctic frozen water for an hour, and then climbs back up on the iceberg and falls asleep.
1:22:18🔗GuestWhat crazy? How does that work though? You know, it's even crazier than that. When we were in Alaska, they actually had signs up saying that, you know, like at this time of year, you know, like different plots of land will actually be frozen together by ice. Right. And they actually had signs of warning that, you know, certain areas are frozen enough that polar bears can come down, you know, across the ice, because it's not water, you know.
1:23:10🔗CallerIt only covers the vital organ. Nice.
1:23:14🔗AdamLet me tell you something about Manny. You got that accent, so you can wear Speedo anywhere. You can wear Speedo at a funeral. What is the accent?
1:23:23🔗AdamYou can wear Speedo. That's your license. Like a black guy can wear whatever hat he wants. If you got an accent, you can wear Speedo. White guy with no accent, we can't do Speedos or crazy hats.
1:23:40🔗AdamBlack guy can wear a top hat, no problem. Guy with an accent can wear Speedo to a wedding. No questions asked. White guy, we got nothing. We got cutoffs and maybe a yarmulke once in a while.
1:23:52🔗GuestWe're not even allowed to dance, for God's sake.
1:25:21🔗CallerNo, no. Are you depressed? No. I mean, I totally like... Otherwise, I feel fine, you know. And I don't know if it's, you know, if it has to do with just like, you know, my sobriety or if it has to do with her, but it's like, you know, we hang out and I'm trying to sleep and she's trying to get laid and it's just...
1:25:40🔗GuestAre you jerking off thinking about other girls?
1:25:59🔗AdamI mean, when you're 18, you've been with someone for a few months, you ain't into screwing them. Maybe it's just that's just nature telling you to move on.
1:26:05🔗GuestThat changes up to your varieties of spice of life.
1:26:08🔗DrewYou've gone from what to what? What are you guys doing now?
1:26:11🔗CallerI mean, we were having sex on a daily basis, so now it's like maybe three times a week.
1:26:17🔗CallerIf you want to keep the relationship, you can change it up. If she's got a Brazilian waxing going, have her grow a 70s bush.
1:26:48🔗AdamYou have to sort of bang the last guy out of them. I hate to say it, but it's like a rag that needs rinsing and lots of rinsing and squeezing and soaping, you know. You have to have so much sex with them that you actually knock the last penis out of them. You do that at the beginning. Plus, a new broom sweeps clean, as they say. You're anxious, you know, it's like your first day on the job. Eventually, you settle into a rhythm, and that's a couple days a week, and that's fine. That's perfect. But you can't compare yourself at month eight to week two.
1:27:20🔗CallerOh, yeah. Yeah, and you guys got to try some of that freaky stuff.
1:27:23🔗GuestHey, I love Twinkies, man, but I can't live on just Twinkies, you know what I mean?
1:27:27🔗AdamYeah. Yeah, but he will put his cream filling inside another guy.
1:27:38🔗AdamOh, you're the hooker therapist that called us two months ago?
1:27:41🔗GuestYeah, but one of you guys didn't like very much.
1:27:43🔗DrewWait, why didn't we like it? It's not about like you. Oh, it's not about like you. It's about boundary issues. Yeah, it's about boundary issues.
1:27:51🔗AdamAll right, do you have a quiet? Okay. Ask your shark question.
1:27:57🔗GuestI have a question about, I've been learning to surf and there's a place in Mexico where I go down and it's in the Bay of Banderas. My friends, a bunch of guys that I surf with, tell me that it's totally safe there and that there aren't sharks because there's like a coral reef with dolphins and that dolphins are aggressors towards sharks. I've been believing that.
1:28:19🔗GuestYeah, that's not true. Being a surfer that gets attacked by a shark is like winning the lottery, you know?
1:28:27🔗CallerRight. Dolphins and sharks hunt together. A lot of times some of the sharks actually eat the dolphins but we have a video of a confrontation between sharks and dolphins. It was a black-tipped shark. It's a small shark and it's actually the shark attacks on most people right now and they push the dolphins back. Oh really? Yeah, when they went to frenzy, the dolphins didn't want no part of their frenzy. They back off of that atrocity.
1:28:49🔗AdamNo, it's really, it's, yeah, it's really the dolphins are the college students and the sharks are like the gangbangers.
1:28:56🔗CallerExactly, they're smarter and they go, we don't want no part of it.
1:29:05🔗AdamAll beaked up on Colt 45. You're not going to have this guy, oh, he's smarter than him, he's going to outwit him. You know, I'll tell you what smart gets you. I'm getting the F away from this nut job.
1:29:13🔗GuestExactly, walk away, walk away. Right.
1:29:16🔗CallerYou are so right about that, that's exactly the way it is and you picked up on it real quick, you're smart about that.
1:29:36🔗CallerThat is shark attack capital of the world.
1:29:37🔗DrewBut this woman is saying though that she's not worrying because of the reef and the dolphin, so that's just completely ridiculous.
1:29:42🔗CallerSo she can get attacked there by a shark?
1:29:44🔗AdamYeah, but Mexico is not a water that you hear a lot about shark attacks in. Is it?
1:29:50🔗CallerIs she on the Atlantic or, I mean, on the Gulf side or the Pacific?
1:29:55🔗GuestOn the Pacific side, the west coast, but I also surf in Washington and I know there are great whites here, but it's really infrequent that there are attacks here.
1:30:03🔗GuestThe vibe I get is that all the surfer dudes are just trying to get this girl killed by sharks.
1:30:07🔗AdamYeah. Actually, probably get her to Mexico and have a little group sex with her.
1:30:14🔗GuestNo, they don't know that I do that. That's kind of my secret thing.
1:30:17🔗AdamYeah. Listen, anytime anyone invites you to Mexico, to camp, we're pitching a tent in Mexico. Come on down. The boys bottle tequila.
1:30:27🔗CallerWhen I'm diving with sharks, when we're chumming, we're surrounded by tons of huge sharks. I'm not afraid at all. But when I'm surfing, I'm constantly so scared. Yeah. You just look like prey.
1:30:39🔗CallerExactly. You're a diver can defend himself against the sharks way better than a surfer. A surfer can't even see the shark.
1:30:46🔗AdamDo sharks see color? Because my feeling is, and here's why I'm saying.
1:30:51🔗GuestIs that why they wear all these clothes?
1:30:52🔗AdamI'm not saying they're racist. What I'm saying is, is they always do that thing where the shark thinks it's eating its favorite food, but it's really eating a guy from Newport Beach. It thinks it's eating a seal, but it's eating a guy in a black wetsuit who's essentially disguised himself as a seal with this black wetsuit. Why not wear an orange wetsuit or one with, you know, candy cane stripe on it?
1:31:12🔗CallerBecause people will think you're gay.
1:31:20🔗CallerCertain sharks are not prone to eating human flesh, and they attack people thinking there was something else, and then they spit them out. But certain sharks are man eaters and will attack the person to eat it for what it is.
1:31:31🔗GuestAnd once the shark has discovered that it doesn't want to eat you, then you still bleed to death anyway.
1:31:35🔗CallerYeah, yeah, but one shark will actually hit you again and again because it's actually eating you.
1:31:42🔗AdamWhat about that many years ago they had this theory that the wetsuit that was striped like the venomous sea snake would prevent the sharks from attacking?
1:31:52🔗CallerI don't really believe in any of those things. I mean, I don't think it doesn't matter what it is.
1:31:56🔗GuestThe way it works out, no matter what color you are, you're still a silhouette.
1:32:02🔗CallerThe sharks, they know one thing, they usually like to attack when you're not looking at them. So a surfer is more helpless. They're a predator looking for easy prey, not a confrontation. So most people get attacked, they don't even see the shark coming. It's a sudden surprise and that's the way it is. If you face the shark off, then it's already a standoff. And then you go at him and he goes, wait a minute, this thing is more of a predator.
1:32:23🔗AdamYeah, because they don't want to get an eye gouged out or something. They got to live to eat again.
1:32:30🔗DrewThe wild animals get a flesh wound, even the fish get a flesh wound. That could be fatal. The infections and things. In a society where they can get things treated.
1:32:38🔗AdamEspecially when they see Steve-O, the big penis tattoo.
1:32:41🔗GuestThank God microbiology doesn't apply to humans.
1:32:46🔗CallerYou have a great understanding of animals.
1:32:50🔗AdamThank you, my friend. We could go out chumming for chicks and Speedos later on.
1:32:56🔗GuestWell, I've been said to be even chaps all over Hollywood.
1:33:14🔗AdamAll right, we will take a quick break. By the way, if Manny came over and he just stood next to my dad, I'd look at my dad and I'd just kick him right in the nuts and spit on him and go, you call yourself a man? Look at Manny. Look at him in his beautiful Christmas speedo. Brought a gift.
1:33:35🔗AdamWhat kind of man are you? All right, we'll take a quick break. Be right back after this. We got the Wildboyz in here tonight. MTV2 big premiere coming up on the 11th of March. That is this Friday. And we got Manny Puig in here. He is the shark man. Manny regaling us with all sorts of interesting stories. I love the ocean. I'm intrigued by it. I love anything that comes out of the ocean. And I love like a giant grouper. Ever see a big sea bass? Like a 500 pound grouper floating around. Oh, he's pulling something out of his wallet. He dated one from the 80s.
1:34:44🔗GuestManny cares around laminated pictures of his best stuff.
1:34:48🔗AdamYou know what I love? I love the grouper. Oh my God.
1:35:19🔗CallerYeah, but I brought them to the surface. They're not that deep. That one's in 40 feet of water. But you know how I caught that fish, the other one, both of them?
1:35:29🔗CallerNo, no, no, no. I went grouper fishing without a spear, without a hook or anything.
1:35:34🔗GuestHe sticks his arm down its throat and then it latches on to its arm and he stings himself. I hope this doesn't hold me for more than five minutes and 35 seconds.
1:35:43🔗CallerHe doesn't stick his arm down his throat. He holds his arm in front of it and then grabs his arm.
1:35:49🔗GuestHe just comes up bleeding like crazy.
1:35:50🔗CallerYou follow him around and they start making this booming sound. It's like a bark telling you get away. Right. He can swim faster than you, but he'll swim off and then you get near him again and he goes boom again and you do it a couple of times. Usually then he'll go into his cave and you go in your stick, you get face to face with him, keep your face away from him, he'll bite your head and then I hold my arm in front of him and wait. It's so fast. Next thing you know, your arm's in his mouth and then I reach around and grab the gill plate and hold to the inside of his mouth and start to, it's like my arm's a bait and I struggle with the fish and I like to do everything natural and primitive. Wow. So that is like a world record, the biggest fish ever.
1:36:25🔗DrewDo you take it out of the water or you just?
1:36:26🔗CallerNo, bring it to the surface, hold it there for video or pictures and then release it.
1:37:03🔗AdamWell, all right, Loveline, no time left. Mike has been on hold for 141 minutes and 20 seconds, which is a new record. Mike, sorry about the whole thing. I got all distracted with the Wildboyz here. And of course, my new lover, Manny. Yeah, we got to talk to you tomorrow, but we will talk to you first thing.
1:37:24🔗GuestHey, I can read the screen, dude, and it says you have a heavy addiction on both sides of your family. You already drink. Are you at risk? You're totally at risk, dude. I have massive amounts of alcoholism in my family. And at a very early age, I just decided, you know, to just let nature take its course and just be good at it, you know? Just get good at drinking.
1:37:47🔗AdamYeah, get number four. Drew's going to take a little different direction and let nature take its course. I want to thank Chris and of course Steve-O and our new best friend Manny for coming in here. The Shark Man.
1:38:00🔗GuestThese guys are just awesome being on again.
