Andrew is a buddy of mine. I know him through the hook community. He gave me some amazing advice that has helped heal my paralysis.

spooky stuff, but NatGeo aired it, so not terribly gross.

Why do you dudes all look exactly how I think you would. Equal parts early 90's lollapalooza, 1800's circus ringmaster, and white trash.

Absolutely lame.

I always wondered how people find out they can do this kind of thing.

Anyone in the Vegas are and so inclined should check out his stage show. Google Swing Shift Side Show. Those guys deliver the goods. They even made it to America's Got Talent.

...at least girls that scream for attention do it with their legs spread and mouths open, I'm still trying to figure this other stuff out.

This video is sooooo weird but I can't stop going back and watching it. Mandown... your friend is insane (but in a kinda cool way).

you should see the acts they did on America's Got Talent. Gave me the heebeegeebees, but was enough to get me to say FCVK YEA and enough to make my GF leave the room

i dig that deeper in the video they get into the science behind the stunt. interesting to see the spinal alignment and the fact that the car-pull is less stressful on the body than the dead weight lift.

he is insane, but in an educated way too. if you can get past the haircut, he is very well spoken, not at all Jackass-style wild and crazy. he has done a fair amount of self-study of medical texts in order to do what he does. he is also very self-aware. we talked a bunch about anatomy over the years, primarily because his Vegas show has him doing some stunts night after night that most wouldn't try once, and i wanted to know how the "tricks" were done and what made him think he could them. he knows his stuff and his limits, though he still pushes them. if you ever see him in Vegas, don't fall for "the handshake" and certainly not if there is a camera around.

Im glad to see you're not taking the **** I say seriously. But really pulling a car with your eye sockets? How about feeding the homeless with your hands.

It is how he makes is living. It feeds him and keeps him from being homeless.

Cool trick, yeah-yeah, but more importantly, how does he keep his beard so straight ?
