Sean Patrick McInerney[1] (born October 21, 1986), better known as Poopies, is an American surfer, and stunt performer, best known as a new Jackass member in Jackass Forever (2022),[2] and the Who is J.O.B? web series.[3]
Early life
McInerney was born in Redlands, California, on October 21, 1986.[4] He is of Irish descent.[1] He earned the nickname Poopies in junior high after his classmates dared him to defecate off an overpass onto the oncoming traffic.[5]
Career
McInerney became known as professional surfer Jamie O'Brien's friend in Who is J.O.B?.[6] In 2021, Jackass star and co-creator Johnny Knoxville announced that Poopies, along with four other people, will be the new cast members in Jackass Forever (2022).[7]
He appeared in Jackass Shark Week, an extension of the Discovery Channel series Shark Week, in 2021. As a part of one of the stunts, McInerney attempted to jump over a series of sharks in homage to the television series Happy Days. Missing the landing, he fell into the water, and was bitten on the left hand by one of the swarming sharks, becoming the first person to get bit on Shark Week.[8] He severed multiple tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Despite undergoing surgery and physical therapy, he was unable to regain full use of his hand.[9] McInerney stated that he thought he was going to die during the shark attack,[10] and he was left with an intense fear of sharks. He appeared on Jackass Shark Week 2.0 one year later to overcome his fear of sharks.[11]
He started his own podcast titled The Shittiest Podcast. The first episode was uploaded to YouTube on 20 April 2022, with Knoxville as guest.[12]
He won the Best Kiss Award at the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards for kissing a Texas rat snake in Jackass Forever. During the ceremony, he kissed a 5.20 meter (17 foot) long python.[13]
He will also in appear the upcoming fifth Jackass movie, which is set to release theatrically on June 26, 2026.
