  Speaker 2: The new stunt centric Jackass movie is simply called Jackass,
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Best and Last, because the plan is to wrap the
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: series after this one, and Johnny Knoxville promises this really
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: is the end.

  Speaker 1: He's now at fifty five years old, and those stunts
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the guys perform are crazy at any age, but he
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: tells USA today that he had to admit to himself
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: he really can't do the craziest stuff anymore, and he

  Speaker 1: did struggle with that realization.

• 0:50
  Speaker 1: of a master of ceremonies in the new movie than
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: kind of like a stunt man, and it was tough
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to sit back on the sidelines. So he's comfortable saying
