I recently had the pleasure of interviewing the one and only Jason “Mayhem” Miller. Not only has he been a staple in the MMA community for the last 10 years, but recently has his own show on MTV called BULLY BEATDOWN. I got to get inside of Mayhems ridiculous head and get the lowdown about his new show as well as a few lingering questions people have had on their minds. It was a hysterical interview and the perfect victim for my first interview. Enjoy.

Jenevieve: Congrats on your new Success with the show Mayhem.
Mayhem: Thank you very much (in an Elvis voice)

Jenevieve: (laughing) So how did you come about getting your own show, Bully Beatdown?
Mayhem: What do you mean? It’s a funny ass concept and they needed the right guy to fit in and it was me. The MTV execs had saw some of my crazy antics and interviews on YOUTUBE and approached me.

Jenevieve: How did you come up with the idea?
Mayhem: MTV said they needed a crazy aggressive and outgoing guy to run this new show they had in mind about bully’s getting beat up.

Jenevieve: (laughing) Well I guess you would be the perfect character to run a show like this then. I used to live in Hollywood and some of the places look familiar, where was the show filmed?
Mayhem: Everything was done in southern California, mostly Los Angeles, the valley and ventura county.

Jenevieve: Aww I miss those days… so jealous. So what’s your funniest story from the show?
Mayhem: The show is pure comedy. I don’t have one favorite. They are all funny. I mean one week some guy projectile vomited all over the cage and another guy gets called out on roller blades. It was hilarious. It should be borderline illegal what they are doing! (laughing)

Jenevieve: Yeah the show is awesome and it seems like its doing great too. So were you nervous doing the show with all the cameras in your face?
Mayhem: Are you kidding? No way. I’ve been doing this for 10 years now. I get punched in the face for a living. It’s all an act, whether the show or my entrances. Come on I’m Mayhem Miller, have you ever SEEN any of my entrances. (laughing) If I have a bad performance fighting I get my ass kicked, but if I’m not funny on TV they cut it out. The way I look at it, I’m an artist. Everything I do I put art into it. My fights are an art. It’s all a performance piece.

Jenevieve: Yeah I can see where you’re coming from. Do you get recognized a lot more now that you’re doing the show?
Mayhem: It’s a weird thing. Like people just stand and stare like I’m Michael Jackson or something (laughing). Before it would just be like a random MMA fan here and there wanting an autograph, now it’s completely different. I mean its keeping me grounded though. I would love to be living the Hollywood lifestyle going out drinking and partying, but right now I’m training for my upcoming fight and staying focused.

Jenevieve: Yeah , I’m sure there’s lots of temptation out there. On that subject, what’s your craziest girl fan story?
Mayhem: Because of MTV I get sexually assaulted by very young girls everyday. Seriously, why the hell aren’t your parents watching your internet! I’m an old ass fighter like 10, 12, 14 years your elder.. there’s something wrong with that! (laughing)

Jenevieve: Oh man, I can imagine though. At the beginning of the show you said you were bullied growing up, is this true?
Mayhem: Yes, but not up until the time of the picture they show of me. I still looked like a dweeb so they kept the picture up, but at the time of the picture I started standing up for myself.

Jenevieve: That picture is really funny of you. (laughing) So is there a possibility of a 2nd season? And is there a possibility of you fighting next season?
Mayhem: Yes because the numbers and ratings are really good and maybe, you’ll have to watch and see.

Jenevieve: Oh you’re such a tease. So I heard the show is scripted, what do you have to say about that.
Mayhem: Scripted... (laughing) no definitely not scripted, but the bullies do know that they are going to be on the show. They just don’t know what time or place we’ll be coming to get them at.

Jenevieve: Oh okay glad that’s cleared up. Are you considering acting now after doing Bully Beatdown?
Mayhem: Of course. I’ll do anything, I’m a prostitute, I think we all are in a certain way. I mean if I get asked to do a movie with Ashton Kutcher, hell yeah, I’m going to jump on that.

Jenevieve: Good, because I think there’d be a lot of disappointed fans. So you’re going to continue fighting after this show since you already retired once?
Mayhem: I NEVER RETIRED!!! (cracking up) I never retired, I had said retarded and some dumb interviewer guy thought I said retired. So I played along with it.

Jenevieve: That brings me to my next statement/question. (laughing) I was a little nervous to do this interview because I’ve heard you’re a hard person to interview being so sarcastic. Do you have any advice to future Mayhem interviewers?
Mayhem: I have to admit I was a little nervous when you first started interviewing me, but then I realized you’re smart. I thought oh she’s a smart chick and asks good questions and knows what she’s doing, but a lot of people don’t. I feel like if I can interview people when I get punched and kicked in the face for a living it must not be hard. Any idiot with a microphone and internet connection can have his own radio show nowadays, like really? I have a low tolerance for bullshit. I hold them to higher standards and they should do the same towards me. It’s all about integrity. Oh and also never ask me if there is anything I want to add at the end of the interview. That’s the worst question anyone can ask! What do you want me to say? I could run off at the mouth for at least 15 minutes about nothing at all.

Jenevieve: Well Thank you so much for the time today Jason and Good Luck with your upcoming fight! I know you’ll do awesome!
mayhem: Thank you. It was a pleasure meeting you.

jenvieve: My pleasure.
