The Joe Rogan experience. Just wanted to go home. I wanted my daughter to
fucking see
the things I saw as a kid not North Jersey type shit. Mm-hmm. Did you see
that fucking special on that amusement park and we were kids from Verona, New
Jersey. What's the name of it? Action Park. No. They ended up calling it Class
Action Park. That's terrible. What happened? What happened? That's where we
used to go we
were kids. Yeah. Every time you were in there they'd take you out a neck brace.
Fuck it when you were a kid dog. Please Jamie if you find anything a trailer.
Dude I
was at a fucking one of those fairs. Look at this Joe Rogan. They would pull up
in a
parking lot. Look at this shit. When we were kids you know. Jesus Christ you're
flying down these things. How many kids got broken legs from this? Oh my God.
Every
time you went there. If you went with eight kids somebody was going down. The
most
dangerous amusement park. And in Vernon, New Jersey or Vernon, New York. Oh my
God. People are jumping
off cliffs. Whoa. You could drive race cars. All that shit. Everything. You
could. What is
this bungee jumping? This was the 70s with the class action pool. That was like
Palisade Amusement Park. It's a it's a pool that's like a big cops probe. Look
at this
shit. Look. Park accident. So people just got in accidents all the time. Oh
every other
weekend. Look at it. Is that okay? Yes. Here's the question. When I was a kid I
didn't go out to play. I went out to die. Big difference. Okay.
These little fucking half of fruitcakes today they go out to play. I went out
to die. Remember you hugged your mother and shit like you hugged the good. Ma I
don't know.
We're gonna go rob a train. I don't know what's gonna happen. But look at this
shit. This shit is so ridiculous. And New York had a ton of these when we were
from Tuxedo New York all the way down. Oh my God. That's hilarious.
Action Park. You gotta watch the doc. Why was this a lot to happen? So here's
the question. If you could go like if guys are doing like BMX flips. You know
guys are practicing for those things. How many of those guys get hurt?
A lot right? How often do they get hurt? Well why is it okay if they get hurt
but it's not okay if you go to a park where you're reasonably certain you have
a good chance of getting hurt?
Like if it's basically people paying to have the same kind of risk factor as
you would do if you were doing something else crazy. That's totally okay. Like
why can't you? You know what I'm saying? Like you can get a BMX bike. There can
be a ramp. People know you're gonna jump it. Everybody knows. That's fine.
But that what is that more of a commitment because you went you got a helmet
you got a bike and you got the whole thing instead of just going to this place.
This should be a place where it's fucking risky. Right? This should be a like
if somebody had if you had a lock down solid contract where no matter what
happened to you you you couldn't sue them. They can make a place like that
again. But I don't think they would ever be able to hold you gotta watch the
documentary.
It's tough. I watched it. I remember watching it. Oh it's tremendous. But is it
is it negligence? Yes. Oh. If I remember correctly there's a lot of people
telling them you can't do this for kids and people are like give a fuck it's
the 80s we're doing coke we're making money have fun party. But the jumping off
cliffs like that thing like the fact that they had a cliff dive like that's
just crazy. They built a cliff dive and you pay people could just jump like if
you hit if you're drive jumping off of like. This is the big thing that they
had.
That was a big thing. That was a big thing. I remember the bridge where
everybody would like get drunk and jump off of and people were getting hurt
they're landing on each other all the time. Oh of course. Look at that. I can
imagine that they would. I imagine people landing on each other on purpose.
I think that's part of it because they would cheer. It'd be like you're the you're
the man for the five minutes of the summer day. That's a great way to break
your neck.
Someone's flying and landing on you. That is a great way to break your neck.
It's really good. I think there's even a fictionalized version that Johnny Knoxville
made. That's why he popped up in that thing. And I don't remember what that's
called.
You know these places and it was the 70s late 70s early 80s or 70s. I don't
think the insurance regulations were as strict as they are today.
Like they didn't have a fucking idea. Open up a park. Yeah, whatever. Just give
me 900 a month. Send us a check on the first.
They probably didn't have the kind of lawsuits. They don't know. What kind of
places? It's like Seaside. You know, it's nice. A couple little swings and shit.
Here's a question.
