Someone who is more Than anything. On top of being nominated for an Emmy as an actor and so many great things he's been on, but truly he is one of my favorite comedians on planet Earth and a lot of your favorite comedian's favorite comedian. Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the return of one of my all time favorites. The great and powerful Kirk Fox, everybody. Huge. Now sit here, Kirk, over here. Fuck, yeah. The great Kirk Fox, everybody. Reservation dogs, parks and rec. The new jury duty up for an Emmy. But more than anything, one of the real comedians of our era at the Comedy Store. A legend and a legend about that.
Red Band
But it seems important to you, so we'll just.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It is. We're going to have a lot of fun. The reason.
Red Band
Is this the right mic? I don't want to interrupt you. I know the rules you gave me, but is this the mic you want me on?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. No, no. Do you. Was that you? Do you do that? Hold on. Don't press on the thing, man.
Red Band
I don't want any trouble. Just like that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Is that good? We got that. Okay.
Red Band
But that was next to me. You understand why I grabbed it?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Totally.
Red Band
Okay, so someone fucked up already.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's true. Put that away to never be used again.
Red Band
Okay. Frame it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We're going to have fun, Kirk, you know how it works. Over 200 souls signed up for the chance to get one minute on this stage here tonight. If I pull their name out of
Red Band
the bucket, right, Souls?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Red Band
Okay. That would get scary if it was
Tony Hinchcliffe
just see death here in the spotlight. Okay. But yes, you know how it works. They get 60 seconds.
Red Band
I mean, it's been a while. I'll be honest with you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. They get 60 seconds uninterrupted.
Red Band
I know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
60 seconds.
Red Band
I know. We're just getting the kinks out. I'll be done in a second.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And you know, their time is up and you hear the sound of a kitten. That means wrap it up. Then they're also gonna bring out the angry West Hollywood bear, which just interrupts them. And then I ask them a bunch of questions and we find out more about who we pulled out of the bucket. I'm gonna pre poll right now. Our first comedian and they have to go across the street to a special bar and get the person I believe they yell it. What do you yell it through a megaphone, Colt? You do? Yeah. All right. Well, there he goes. I didn't even know that. I've always wondered, like, why did someone just yell the name?
Red Band
Did you store them across the street? Is this what happens?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, yeah. There's a bar.
Red Band
You don't want to keep souls in here, so that's good. You put the.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, yeah.
Red Band
At a new bar. I'm with you, Tony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I take the humans to the bar. We keep the souls here. Okay.
Red Band
I like it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Anyway, I interview them. The whole thing's improvised. It's all crazy. You guys are. Know what? You guys know where you're at. You guys ready to have a great fucking show tonight or what? But while they get that poor, poor person from across the street, we're going to get the show started with a fucking legend of the show, everybody. You know him as a guy that used to live in his fucking van. And now I tell you, he's living his dreams. Ladies and gentlemen, I think you know the word. You guys know the words.
Hans Kim
Thank you for that long song. I have been putting dryers all throughout my neighborhood because I want to catch a stepmom. I love taking Ubers, you know, it's gonna be a good Uber if you can't tell if it's the driver's name or his license plate. I've been thinking about getting the new Cybertruck. Cause I want a car that tells people not only is my dick small, but I wax my balls as well. My girlfriend recently told me that I have the best personality of any man she's ever dated. Which is sad. Cause I didn't know my dick was that small. All right, thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Ok, that's Kim. Did you say dryers? Was that the first?
Hans Kim
Yes. Dryers.
Tony Hinchcliffe
As in like washing machine? Washing machine, dryer dryers, yes. Because stepmoms use dryers.
Hans Kim
Yeah, they get stuck in them.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Ah, okay. It's a type of porn that he watches, Ryan.
Hans Kim
I watch American porn. Not the Japanese shit that you're into.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, you guys have actually flip flopped. It's like Tom Hanks and the little boy in the movie Big. You should be liking Japanese porn. And he should for sure like stepmom's cotton dryers. But the world works in mysterious ways. How you doing, Hans Kim?
Hans Kim
I'm doing fabulously. You know, my girlfriend's still white and I'm still rich.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Super likable.
Red Band
That can all change. So that's good. That could all change. A few of those. A dryer joke could change everything. But it's all right. You came out with confidence. I spoke with you downstairs and you had high hopes. A lot can change, man. You come up two. Two. Two stories. Two floors?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yep, two floors.
Red Band
Each step got you closer to this moment. I do love you, though.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We Love you. Hans, what's going on in your life?
Hans Kim
I recently bought a remote control airplane and I got it stuck in a tree and so I bought a $150 pole and got it out and got my $200 airplane out with.
Red Band
Yeah, these are the investments that can take you in the other direction pretty quick.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It really is. 150 dol dollar pole for a $200 airplane.
Hans Kim
Yeah, it's a 30 foot pole. I, I mean I still have, I'm not going to return it. I, I, I'm, I'm going to use it, you know, I feel.
Red Band
But you saved money on the tree, right?
Hans Kim
The Christmas tree.
Red Band
See, I can suck too. I'm just showing you that it's, it's universal. Sure got quiet. They thought something was coming and I just showing them that it can sometimes not come.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hans, let me ask you something. A 30 foot pole, is that what you needed?
Hans Kim
Yeah, it was pretty high up there. Just poked it out.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Does it retract?
Hans Kim
Yes, it folds in.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Folds in. I think. Yeah, I think D Madness has one of those over here somewhere.
Cam Patterson
Steven.
Michael White
Gotta put up.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So you think you're going to use it in the future? Are you going to use it to mostly like talk shit? Like I wouldn't touch you with a 30 foot pole. And I know because I have a 30 foot pole.
Hans Kim
Yeah. I mean my reach is unlimited. I mean 30 foot, but yeah, I could touch a lot of things from far away.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, that's going to help you when you're near the playground next time you need to get a. Yeah, 31 foot restraining order is what they need from you.
Red Band
Did you get the plane out?
Hans Kim
Yes. Poked it out, fell in the water. I dried it out.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wouldn't it be great if we could do that to the planes during 9 11. Just fucking poke them out real quick. So the whole thing didn't like if we just would have gotten rid of that jet fuel.
Red Band
Still can. There's pieces.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I love it. So the plane falls down as it's still working?
Hans Kim
Yes. But then I crashed it again and the front wheel caved in. So I'm going to return it and get a new one.
Michael White
Wow.
Red Band
But you'll keep the pole for next time?
Hans Kim
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You think Asians are better than normal people at flying airplanes?
Hans Kim
We're about exponentially worse. The third dimension really sends me in a tail loop. Start spinning around.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Fuck yeah.
Red Band
Those were words I didn't understand. But once again you are confident in the delivery and we'll go with it.
Hans Kim
Thank you, Kirk. I'm here for you, it's like.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Did you watch the plane fly into the tree?
Hans Kim
Yeah, I was controlling it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right. What's the range on something like that?
Hans Kim
Probably like a thousand feet.
Cam Patterson
Wow.
Anthony Papali
Can you.
Red Band
So you were flying low?
Hans Kim
Yeah, I was showing off.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Can you see up like. Like, like normal people or do you have special goggles and a camera on the airplane?
Red Band
You don't need to see up when you have a 30 foot pole.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, to demagness that shit.
Red Band
Just feel up there.
Hans Kim
I can see up. Yes, Brian, I can see up.
Tony Hinchcliffe
If he wouldn't, it would have been a Malaysian airplane. It would have disappeared. Everybody. Electronic air. Electronic airplane jokes. That's. Kirk said you should have watched the news. The Malaysian plane disappeared. I think it was 15 years ago or something like that.
Red Band
I mean, I would have had to have started 15 years ago. I'm waiting for this coming.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hell yeah.
Red Band
So Malaysia went down. It'll be all right.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It disappeared.
Red Band
It'll be okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hans, anything else crazy we need to know about you tonight?
Hans Kim
One of my roommates is not a fan of my kimchi.
Red Band
Is that your girlfriend Kimchi?
Tony Hinchcliffe
It does smell really bad, though. It stinks.
Hans Kim
I mean, it's food. If you process it as food, it's like, whatever. That's food. It's okay. Why do you have to make a big deal about it?
Tony Hinchcliffe
What did the roommate say?
Hans Kim
So.
Tony Hinchcliffe
God damn. What the hell? Wait, I am so confused with the race of this roommate. There's a part where I thought it was black and then it got white halfway through.
Hans Kim
Where's that? Chinese.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I think it's black again. Going back to black.
Hans Kim
Smells like a foot farted in here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Is that what he said?
Hans Kim
Yeah, it was pretty poetic.
Michael White
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yo, it smelled like a foot farted in here like that. Yeah, right.
Hans Kim
God damn my N word.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yep. Now I know for a fact that it is indeed.
Red Band
I just like watching to see where it goes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, it's going farther and farther.
Red Band
It's not getting there.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We're almost there.
Hans Kim
I'm not gonna say it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. So would you guys settle on the kimchi battle?
Hans Kim
He just told me that it's smelly and I was just like, well, you know, I'm a Korean roommate. This is like par for the course. You're lucky I'm not bringing out the ginseng. That's another Korean thing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you have a garage?
Hans Kim
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You should get a garage refrigerator for the kimchi.
Hans Kim
Oh, okay. I don't have to go in the garage every time.
Michael White
So what?
William Montgomery
It's like.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'm sorry. It's like somebody cooking fish every day, you know, you don't want your whole
Frank Awasika
house to smell like fish.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You have to deal with a. An Asian. Yeah. He has to say it now. I'm not allowed to say it anymore.
Red Band
Can we think we can think it right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Can we bleep it?
Red Band
Is that what it's called?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. I love it. Hans, every single week, you start the show in an amazing fashion. You did it tonight. There goes Hans Kim everywhere.
Anthony Papali
Thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That was Hans Kim. That was Hans Kim.
Red Band
Hans, I love you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That was Hans Kim. That was Hans Kim. All right, back to the bucket. We go make some noise for your first bucket bowl. Obviously, this is where shit can be out of control. Makes noise for Paul Ciphers, everybody. 60 seconds. Uninterrupted of stand up comedy by a hopeful that was contained in a bar all night. This Paul Ciphers.
Paul Ciphers
I like to take Adderall, but I don't have health care, so I have to buy it off of drug dealers. I got some a few weeks ago. I brought it home. I was like, damn, this is some good shit. And then three days later, I was like, damn, this is some crystal meth.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's what this is.
Paul Ciphers
This has been the worst year of my life. I'm glad it's ending. It started off pretty rough. Last year on New Year's Eve, I got hit by the same drunk driver two times. I was sitting in the passenger seat and my dad punched me in both of my eyes.
Chen
So.
Paul Ciphers
That's what I get for trying to kiss him when the ball dropped. You know what I mean? I'm kind of tired. This morning I saved a woman from a train. I pushed her out of the way and let all those guys fuck me instead. So. Thank you guys very much.
Tony Hinchcliffe
60 seconds exactly from Paul Ciphers. Fuck yeah. You let all guys the. You. You gay?
Paul Ciphers
No, I'm not Just in the joke. Well, if you want me to be.
Red Band
Whatever.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. This guy's down for anything. Lucky D. Well, if you want me to be, Hell yeah. Welcome to show business, buddy. Yeah. All right. Have you been on this show before?
Paul Ciphers
I have over at Vulcan and one time at Antones as well.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Wow, we're going to have to bleep that.
Paul Ciphers
Oh, I'm sorry.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I love it. How long you been doing stand up?
Paul Ciphers
Five or six years now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All of it in Austin?
Paul Ciphers
No, I moved here three years ago from Worcester, Massachusetts.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right, Worcester. That comes up a lot on this show. Worcester.
Paul Ciphers
A lot of us are here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Who's the most famous comedian from there?
Paul Ciphers
Doug Stanhope, maybe. Louis.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Sort of. Yeah.
Paul Ciphers
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's a huge scene out there in Boston and how you said five or six years total.
Paul Ciphers
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right. What do you do for work?
Paul Ciphers
Right now I'm working at Vulcan as a door guy and a bar back and. And then just whatever else. I can pick up shifts on 6th street doing that kind of stuff. Yeah. And I just started as a PA Here a week or two ago working for you, so it's been fun.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Really? Yeah. That's amazing. You just started. Thank you. Good stuff. Yoni,
Red Band
if you're buying Adderall off the street, you're going to find a lot of work.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What do you do for the show? I gotta know.
Paul Ciphers
They just brought me on. I'm just running. Grab one if they tell me. Teaching me what to do. Yeah, Just brought me on.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So. But what do you. What have you done?
Paul Ciphers
I've helped set up chairs. I've done that. I have given the gel guns to the people when they get off stage and I tell them, great job.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's right. From the great people over at Gel Blast. Yeah, that's a great.
Red Band
And you're getting paid for that, Austin seems like the place to be.
Sam Castillo
Yeah.
Red Band
Thumbs up. You're fucking getting paid. I'd be make a fortune.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wait, we're paying this guy? I have no idea. I have no idea. I don't believe. So Yoni's saying. No, Yoni's going like that. My Jew executive producer is literally like, I love it.
Paul Ciphers
Getting paid an experience.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, I like that. That's very, very. I mean, that seems to make sense. If what you're doing is going. Good job. Use a gel blaster once every 10 minutes. Seems like pretty much fucking nothing.
Sam Castillo
Yeah.
Paul Ciphers
Helping with signups and stuff. Yeah, yeah, anything they want to do.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Are you sure? Are you sure that you're supposed to be helping? Yeah, this guy's just an invader. Like, I've been one of your top young, rising production assistants. You might know me as the fastest rising producer of chairs. Moving behind table, Gel blasters being handed out. I'm about to be the president of show business in minutes at this pace.
Red Band
And have you seen his thumb? He's got.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That is a strong thumbs up. I love it. So, Paul, tell us something interesting about your childhood.
Paul Ciphers
Oh, my childhood? Not much. I cried during Powder the Pop Warner football a lot until my. My brother's played football for a long time and I just cried so many times. My family told me I shouldn't go back anymore.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So do you cry now?
Paul Ciphers
Well, my Girlfriend just moved all of our stuff out of her apartment and left me a week ago, so I've been crying.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Huh.
Red Band
I guess you didn't pull her chair out enough.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? I mean, I don't know, but I noticed something really interesting. Maybe hold your thought, because what I took from that. I don't know if any. If anybody else noticed this. But you didn't say that your girlfriend broke up with you. You said, my girlfriend got her stuff and moved it out a week ago.
Paul Ciphers
No, she broke up with me, too.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, okay. Just making sure that you know that.
Paul Ciphers
No, I know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You seemed really hopeful there for a second. The way I analyze that is like, well, she thinks she broke up with me, but now she took all her
Red Band
shit, but she's just making room for more love.
Tony Hinchcliffe
She took all of her shit and her human body, but her soul is with me. Do you think you could cry for us if we. If we helped? Was there a song in particular that she loved or that she would play a lot?
Paul Ciphers
I don't think I could cry here. I'm in a pretty good mood right now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Let me ask you again. Was there a specific song that she. That reminds you of her?
Anthony Papali
I don't know.
Paul Ciphers
Maybe. Yeah.
Hans Kim
I don't know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You don't know? How long were you with her?
Paul Ciphers
I mean, I'm sure there's songs that remind me. I don't know if they'd make me cry, though, if they play.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's not what I'm asking. Okay, sure. Take the cry.
Paul Ciphers
Let's go with the song Everlong by Foo Fighters. That would make.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What do you. What are your thoughts when you think about Everlong from the Foo Fighters? What does it remind you of? A time with her?
Paul Ciphers
No, they're not just the lyrics of the song, you know, they're just. Just a sad song in general, I guess.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wait, is that it? Can we get a spotlight on? Paul? I'll play it, too, if you keep playing it. Don't stop now. Let's go. Let's go through. Just look out there. Look at the. Look at the camera. Wait, are you trying to sing? Is that what.
Paul Ciphers
No, I mean, I can try. I'm not good at it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, go sing.
Red Band
I've waited here for you she might
Tony Hinchcliffe
see this ever long this could win her back tonight. Come on. You got this, Paul.
Paul Ciphers
I'll throw myself into who
Red Band
out of
Paul Ciphers
red, out of her head she sang.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You packed your bags But I'm in love with you and I wonder. Stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop. No, no, no. I gotta tell you, wherever she packed up and went off to, she packed up again. She's going farther away. She's going. She's going the opposite direction. I don't know. She went to New Jersey.
Red Band
I think she's coming back.
Tony Hinchcliffe
There's a chance she went to New Jersey.
Paul Ciphers
That's how shitty.
Red Band
Did you guys ever watch football together? Did that ever come into play?
Paul Ciphers
No, that never came up.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No.
Red Band
Yeah, just fucking. What was it about Pop Warner that just would break you into tears? I mean, we skipped over what started it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You didn't like being tackled?
Paul Ciphers
Yeah, I was not good at it. Very bad at it.
Red Band
Did they tackle you before the game or something?
Paul Ciphers
Yeah, just. Even the Oklahoma drills and stuff just beat the shit out of me. So I was out real young. You asked me something about my childhood. I just had to, like, spin the wheels, pick something in the right light.
Red Band
You do look like a beautiful woman, though. She's a strong light. Good backlight for you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What's the longest standup set you've ever done?
Paul Ciphers
20 minutes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'd love to have you on the Secret Show Thursday. Look at that. Paul Ciphers. Mickey's.
Paul Ciphers
Thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You have his joke book already, huh?
Paul Ciphers
Yeah, I have, too.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. There you go. Paul Ciphers. You have a small one and a big one. That's amazing. I love that. It's fun to hear the people that have had. Did I fucking miss a bucket pull? Oh, that was him. Oh, sweet. Perfect. Yep. There's the one that we funneled. And the new one goes out, makes noise for Anthony Papoli, everybody. Straight out of the bucket, Anthony Papoli. 60 seconds. What's up?
Anthony Papali
Dude, I'm not from Texas, all right? And I'm trying to learn about Texans. And what I've learned about Texans is you guys like your guns, your hunting, your fishing, just terminating everything out here, really, you know, except pregnancies. You guys are like, no, sir. Those aren't in season, you know? No, sir, But I bet you can sell abortion to Texas, you know, you just gotta take it out of Planned Parenthood and then drop it in a Bass Pro shop, you know what I'm saying? Like, every abortion free box of ammo, you'd have a line out the door, man. You go in, your girl gets the abortion. You pick up a Salt Life T shirt and fucking Roll Tide, baby. Let's go, dude. Have some fun. I don't know how I feel about abortion, though. You know? Like, on one hand, I think it's a woman's Right.
Tony Hinchcliffe
To choose.
Anthony Papali
Right. But sometimes, you know, you see a little kid and you're like, oh, look at that guy. He didn't get aborted, you know? But then you remember he goes to school in America. So you're like, oh, he's got plenty of time. He's got plenty of time to be aborted. Thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Fuck, yeah. Anthony Papilli. Am I saying that right? Papilli.
Anthony Papali
Papali.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Papali.
Red Band
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Yeah, that makes more sense. Papali. Hell, yeah.
Anthony Papali
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You've been on this show before, correct?
Anthony Papali
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. And remind us, what. What are you again? What are you? What's your ethnicity?
Anthony Papali
100 Italian.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, always.
Anthony Papali
Seriously, though, I'm an Indian guy, right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
You're an Indian guy.
Justin Landers
I'm Indian.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Perfect. Absolutely perfect. I love it.
Red Band
Got the 100, right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Yeah.
Anthony Papali
Pretty Indian.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What do you do for work?
Anthony Papali
I just got out of the military, and so I'm kind of figuring out what to do.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What'd you do in the military?
Anthony Papali
I was in the Coast Guard. Worked on ships and.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. What'd you do?
Red Band
I see something in boating maybe in your future.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Maybe.
Anthony Papali
I don't know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What'd you do on the ships?
Anthony Papali
Just, like, navigation stuff. Worked in public affairs. I gotta be honest, last time I was on here, I said I was in the military, but I didn't say that I did get kicked out of the military. I got kicked out.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You got kicked out?
Anthony Papali
I got kicked out, yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How? The rare Indian misbehavior. An anomaly.
Anthony Papali
I'm trying to change the image of Indians. We're bad boys.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We're bad boys. What exactly does an Indian do to get kicked out of the military?
Anthony Papali
I had a puff of marijuana, yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You had a puff of marijuana?
Anthony Papali
Yeah, I had a little bit of marijuana.
Tony Hinchcliffe
More than a puff?
Anthony Papali

Tony Hinchcliffe
What were you doing in the Orlando area?

Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. Yeah. And you talked a lot about abortion? I did, yeah. Yeah, a lot.
Anthony Papali
A lot.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All the trimesters, you talked about abortion of your side? All of them.
Anthony Papali
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What is. What is Indian culture and abortion? What are those two things? Like, what's the crossover there?
Anthony Papali
I don't think it exists. I think they just let, like. If you want an abortion, I think you let nature take over, you know, like in India, you just look like a cobra come in or. I don't know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Or a cow.
Anthony Papali
Or a cow. Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Fuck, yeah.
Red Band
Those babies don't last that long if a cobra's involved. I know that.
Anthony Papali
Not that long.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Where were you raised?
Anthony Papali
California.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What part? Bay Area. San Francisco. Okay. And what convenience stores do your parents own?
Anthony Papali
7 11, Dunkin Donuts.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Seriously, what do your parents do for work?
Anthony Papali
My dad does, like, education consulting, and my mom doesn't do anything.
Tony Hinchcliffe
The way you said education, I could hear your Indian for the first time.
Anthony Papali
You want me to turn it up or not? You want me to?
Cam Patterson
Yes.
Anthony Papali
You guys are so racist. I knew I was gonna get a laugh if I did that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Of course. Yeah. It's funny.
Red Band
You buried the lead, my friend.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Anthony Papali
Stupid.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Oh, my dad, he works in education. That's what I heard. That's what it sounded like. It was a real switch.
Red Band
Abortion sounds funnier with that accent.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, yeah, they got an abortion tr.
Justin Landers
Yeah,
Tony Hinchcliffe
spot on. Indian accent activated.
Anthony Papali
It's pretty good.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yes, right? See, it's good.
Red Band
What you do in the Coast Guard. If I could ask, did you ships, but what.
Anthony Papali
I worked on boats. I did, like, navigation stuff. I was on a gun crew.
Red Band
So you're stone. Just trying to guide ships.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Red Band
Good thing we haven't been to at war for a while.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, the ships are docked.
Anthony Papali
They're docked.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. What's the most Indian thing about your Indian father?
Anthony Papali
What's the most Indian thing about my Indian father? Yeah, other than the fact that he's Indian.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Does he do something super Indian?
Anthony Papali
I don't know. My dad came here when he was, like, 18. Became.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You ever walk in and he's like, floating in the living room, like, meditating or something. You're like, dad, how do you do that?
Anthony Papali
That'd be sick.
Tony Hinchcliffe
One day you will have douchebald. That's great. Watch. It's gonna be like, I'm not gonna know. It's gonna be Indian Heritage Month or something like that. I'm like, oh, God, here we go.
Anthony Papali
I got your bag. I'll defend you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So offensive. How dare you say we talk exactly like that?
Anthony Papali
No, my dad is very Americanized. He came here and fell in love with America. Listens to, like, classic rock.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How long was he in India for?
Anthony Papali
18 years.
Tony Hinchcliffe
18 years. But meanwhile, every other word that you said didn't sound Indian. But your. But you. When you said education sounded super Indian.
Anthony Papali
I think it just ingrained in me because my dad used to make me just study so hard.
Tony Hinchcliffe
When's the last time you talked to your dad?
Anthony Papali
I don't know, like a week maybe, Right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Let me ask you something. You think that if we called your father.
Anthony Papali
Oh, fuck, dude.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Said hello to him for a second, got up, barometer of what he kind of sounds like, right? Because you said he's super Americanized. So my guess is that he might not sound that Indian, right?
Anthony Papali
I don't think so, personally.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Me neither. But here's my point. Here's what I want to do. I want to get a little. A test tube. His fucking natural accent, his American accent. Then I want you to ask him what he. What field he works in, okay? Because I want to see if his education sounds Indian, because I bet the fucking. I bet the genie doesn't fall far from the tree. And you're.
Anthony Papali
He probably is not going to say the word education just for that. He'll just say consulting.
Red Band
Was he proud that you took all the education knowledge and went into the Coast Guard?
Anthony Papali
Oh, dude, he's here. He was pretty worried. You know, Indian people come here, they become doctors, engineers. And I was like, can we call
Tony Hinchcliffe
your dad real quick?
Anthony Papali
You want to call him and call him?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, let's call him. That's his phone. Okay.
Anthony Papali
Oh, that is my phone. Oh, y. Yeah, yeah. Damn.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It happens quick. We take it off of them when they come through the back support.
Red Band
What if he.
Anthony Papali
You want me just hold it like that?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, put it on speaker. Make sure your volume's all the way up. And here, I'll actually. I'll hold the phone and you just listen.
Red Band
See if he could reset my phone.
Anthony Papali
Don't tell him about the abortion jokes.
Red Band
No, you're here.
Anthony Papali
I didn't pick up.
Tony Hinchcliffe
God damn it.
Red Band
I hope he's okay.
Chen
Sure.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It would have been so funny if the answering machine was like, hey, guys, sorry I couldn't make it to the phone. Have a big day tomorrow. Working in. That's what I was shooting for. But I guess they're not gonna find out tonight.
Red Band
Does your dad smoke weed? Sorry, Tony.
Anthony Papali
Yeah, I think he does it now, right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. When you say now, you mean you think he started long after you left the house and joined the military? You don't think he was smoking the whole time?
Anthony Papali
I think he probably did when he was a teenager and then started once I Left the house again.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Why are you saying it like it's
Anthony Papali
a. I don't know, dude. I'm not sure. I don't know. I really don't know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Damn, we have so much to talk to this guy about.
Red Band
Something shady.
Anthony Papali
My dad is shady. My dad is.
Red Band
You're not telling us everything. Look, man, I got kicked out of the Coast Guard. But was it just for weed or.
Anthony Papali
Just weed? Honestly, Missile, I'm a good guy. Hey, guys. I'm a good. I'm a good. I'm a good person. I just like fucking smoked weed, right? I love America.

Anthony Papali. Thank you. Thank you so much. All right, on we go. Your next bucket pool goes by the name of Michael White, everybody. Michael White. You guys having fun out there, huh? He is michael white.
Michael White
What's up, atx? I'm from Corpus Christi, the city of Salinas. I live two hours away from Mexico, so my white privilege doesn't activate until I enter Hays County. And there's not a lot of black people in my city for the police to harass. So I'm like the substitute teacher. I lived in the streets for five years. Cause my stepdad didn't like me wiggle. Oppression is real. I got my first car when I was 21. So after sleeping at bus stops and couch hopping in the projects for four years, I was able to live in my car until I got my own apartment. When I didn't have a car or when my car isn't working, I run errands on foot. If I walk far enough, CCPD will run up illegally, search me and check me for warrants. And they always say it's because you match a description. So if you ever see anyone who still wears tall tees with a do rag on top of his hat, call Crime Stoppers. They been looking for that dude since I was 16 years old.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I fucking love it. Michael White. Hell yeah. This is like your 8 mile right now.

By the way, I literally am so excited about this, I don't even know where to begin. So are you aware that you have a scream mask tucked into some type of sideways baseball cap or something like that? You know what you're dressed like right now?
Michael White
Oh, yeah, laundry day. I had to wear your mama muscle shirt. Strong ass bitch.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I love. Have you done stand up comedy before?
Michael White
I've actually. I've been a performer since I was 13 as a musician and a battle rapper. But I always been funny in my raps and people always leave comments on my rap battle saying, you're not a rapper, you're a stand up comedian. And it took me like forever to swallow my pride and start doing stand up comedy because I felt like they were discredit, you know, people were discrediting my rap skills. And I would discredit myself too if I fell into that and just started doing it. But I was like, fuck it, whatever.
Tony Hinchcliffe
They were right. I love it. So how many times, how often have you tried stand up then?
Michael White
Oh, I just started like a year and a half ago. That's when I started doing it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And you're doing a lot of it in Corpus Christi. Yeah, yeah.
Michael White
And I upload. I upload it to my TikTok and shit. I'm one of those type of comedians. I don't repeat. I don't go to open mics and repeat the same shit every week. I record it, upload it, and then I come up with a new one. Upload it.
Tony Hinchcliffe

Michael White

Michael White
Look, look around. Does anybody else look like me?
Tony Hinchcliffe
No, it is a complete.
Michael White
Okay, this is my style. Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I claim it is that Wayne Bryant
Michael White
right here on the Kill Tony show is trademarked. So Drake can't steal this.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You think Drake has been stealing your. Some of your swagger Style.
Michael White
Oh, man, when he put hair clips on his head, man, I used to put hair clips on my. On my head and I can't do it no more.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You can't, cuz Drake did it.
Michael White
Yeah, they. I called them. They were my. I puto. I call them puto clips. I used to put them on cuz I'm a puto. The. My acronym is players undermining their ops power.
Red Band
You. You say you swallow a lot of pride, right? You swallow a lot of yo. You swallow pride.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, the manic episode is beginning right in front of us. This is crazy.
Michael White
I'm having flashbacks.
Red Band
Are so loose, you can't tell if he's swallowing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It is unbelievable. Who knows? This time next week, Drake might be dressed like Rick Moranis. Shrunk him. This is incredible.
Red Band
I do think the cops are doing the right thing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah,
Red Band
you do fit a description.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Let me ask you this, Michael White. What do you do for work?
Michael White
All right, so I'm one of the most known artists in my city. So I used my rap fame to start a spaghetti delivering service out of my kitchen. My. My. Cause my ex. My ex girlfriend from. From Italy taught me how to make the best spaghetti. You know what I'm saying?
Red Band
She taught me how to make. He needs that to be the opener.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like a delivery app.
Michael White
I'm the spaghetti plug in myself. Nah, Facebook. Facebook is the app now. But here's the thing, though. I only do it when I need to pay a bill. And when I don't need to pay a bill, I spend my time on my career. That's why I'm always broke, begging my tick tock for money to eat.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, hold on. Stick with me here, stick with me here. So when you need some money. Are you. Are you joking? Are you serious? You make a bunch of spaghetti and you people pay you for it around Corpus Christmas?
Michael White
Yeah. Hey, man, we.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We almost made it through that whole thing without.
Michael White
We love food.
Red Band
And Corpus gives him a CD and a bowl of spaghetti. We love food. And Corpus out of his trunk that
Tony Hinchcliffe
he sleeps in, bro.
Michael White
You know how easy it is to sell food in carpets? Everybody sells food.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Tell us about it.
Michael White
I say, oh, man, while I'm cooking, I meet my quota. Like I'm. I'm right there messaging everybody my cousin while I'm cooking.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So how much spaghetti are we talking about? You sell it in. What kind of containers are you putting?
Michael White
My quota is 14 plates in a night.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So how do you.
Michael White
Which is $10 a plate, $5 of gas.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hold on, hold on. Michael, stick with Me over here, Mike. Michael, over here. Michael. Michael, over here. Stick with me here. Okay? What do you put the spaghetti on when you deliver it to people? Is it a plate with tin foil? Is it a gladlock container to go boxes? Oh, like styrofoam folding to go boxes. So you invested in the styrofoam boxes? Yeah. So you're. The most you do is 14 or the minimum you do is 14?
Michael White
Yeah, I do about 14.
Hans Kim
That's what I do.
Red Band
But you could do more.
Michael White
It's kind of the word, you know, because my re up. My re up cost like 55 bucks
Tony Hinchcliffe
to do favorite interviews.
Michael White
I was like, you. You making more money than selling a 50 pack of Coke. You know what I'm saying?
Tony Hinchcliffe
So, okay, hold on. This was my next question. How much are you selling each container of spaghetti for?
Michael White
It's $10 each, and then $5. $5 for the gas fee.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So you. You make $140 a night, working very hard, making and delivering this spaghetti. And meanwhile, you were talking about it like you're cooking coke like your Scarface. You're making all the money.
Michael White
The re up is 55, so the rest is profit.
Tony Hinchcliffe
The biscuit.
Michael White
The what?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Did you say biscuit?
Michael White
I said. I said the re up is 55, and the rest of it is profit.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, the rest of it.
Michael White
The rest of it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
The rest of it.
Red Band
Do people come to your house for the plate? You go out there in the world, you just go out there.
Tony Hinchcliffe
The way you. The way you say that you deliver makes me think that your house might not be the greatest conditions for somebody to come eat spaghetti at. Can you describe your place for us? Is it a studio?
Michael White
It's like an efficiency size, you know, But. But here's the thing. You know, it's a.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's Not Amore by Dean Martin. Welcome. Hey, come on in. It's Michael White. Who wants. Who wants a spaghetti?
Sam Castillo
Come on.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He's one of the nicest guys. He'd give you the wife beater off his head. You're gonna love this guy's spaghetti. It's so good. Look, don't judge the size of his clothes. Don't judge a man.
Michael White
Everything bigger in Texas.
Red Band
Yo,
Tony Hinchcliffe
I honestly want to try this spaghetti. Let me ask you this. Can you give us an example of how you make it?
Michael White
Well, my ex from Italy, she taught me how to make it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I know, but what do you remember?
Michael White
I'm not going to tell the whole world my recipe.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Leave a couple key ingredients out. Give us. Give us the backbone of your Sauce.
Michael White
I don't know how to do that without. Without snitching on myself.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's like, come on, dude, it's tomato sauce. Go ahead, give us a little bit. Start rattling off your quantity.
Michael White
Well, I mean, I, I.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No one's here to steal your spaghetti recipe.
Michael White
I mean, okay, the basics is tomato sauce, hamburger meat, and then the rest is me making it live.
Red Band
Apart.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'm going to die.
Red Band
Hey, wait, wait.
William Montgomery
Why.
Red Band
Why would she leave you? Why would your fucking ex leave a guy making spaghetti, man? Is she a waitress?
Michael White
Nah, I left her, man. She was crazy. Yeah, man, I got two scars on my face because of her. Yeah, what did she do?
Tony Hinchcliffe
She forked you
Michael White
spaghetti. You know how women are, man. They don't know how to lose a conversation.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What'd she do to your face, man? She was.
Michael White
Whenever we'll be talking and if I happen to be winning, just nails come out of nowhere.
Red Band
Did she have to call you chef?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Unbelievable. Okay, but seriously, though, you said tomato sauce and hamburger.
Michael White
Tony, why do you look like you seen the star spanking triangle banner? The old version.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I, I don't know why I look like that. Why?
Michael White
I don't know, but I feel like if I wanted you to suck my dick, you wouldn't do it because you're racist.
Red Band
Holy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That is. There was. There's a lot to unpack in such a short use. The good economy of words there. I don't know which part to figure out.
Red Band
He confused you with food talk.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, yeah. Unbelievable.
Red Band
There's a slow burn.
Michael White
I'm sorry. I'm hangry. I need some spaghetti.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How much spaghetti do you eat? Is that pretty much your whole thing?
Michael White
Like I said, I only do it when I need to pay a bill. When I don't need to pay bills, I focus on my career as an entertainer. That's why I'm always broke.
Red Band
I want to hear, keep one for yourself.
Michael White
And I beg my TikTok for money to feed me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You are such a fucking interesting person. But I do want to hear some of this rapping before you leave. What kind of. All right, tell them. Tell them what kind of beat you on or whatever. Look at Michael.
Michael White
All right, I do my song, my adhd. Go make the beat like this. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

up comedian, so no, it's not gonna work out, buddy. But you're a hell of an interview and that was fantastic. You're set. Absolutely God awful. Let there be no no question. However, I find you so entertaining, you still get a big joke book and a big gel blaster. So there he goes. Michael White, everybody. The Kill Tony debut of Michael White. Proof that anybody can fucking get pulled out of the bucket. We have very low standards here on Kill Tony. That turned around, man. Literally. The people that walk the line of absolute anything in album happen.
Red Band
But the recipe, not bad. Simple.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So it's basically sauce, hamburger meat and magic. Like what? Hamburger meat. I love the words. The words hamburger meat say so much about what that sauce has to be like. Didn't call it beef. Specifically hamburger meat.
Red Band
He knows what works, man.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You never know what we'll find out of the bucket. We once found this, this guy out of the bucket. Now he's a goddamn superstar. One of our best regulars ever. Make some Noise for the great Cam Patterson.
Cam Patterson
Hey, that nigga dead, dog.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I killed him dead hell, man.
Cam Patterson
All right, let's get into the joke. I went. I went surfing for the first time a couple days ago. I did not like it. Cause I can't swim that good. Well, I can swim very good for a black guy. You know what I'm saying? I can dog a paddle my ass off, but y' all motherfuckers got me beat. You know what I'm saying? And the dude I was surfing with, he was gay. Or maybe I thought he was gay. He was gay as hell, dawg. You know what I'm saying? And we was in the ocean. I thought he wanted to fuck me. So I was scared. And he just said.
Bill Rhodes
He.
Cam Patterson
He just kept saying, like, nice shit. Like, oh, you look so good in that wet suit. You like, a real good swimmer. Like, you trying to fuck me, sir? This is terrifying. And then at one point, we seen, like, this beautiful last sunset. The sunset was beautiful, dog. Like, it was nice. And then I looked at him, he looked at me. And then we kissed. Now I'm playing. Listen, I'm talking. I saw that beautiful last sunset, bro. I'm like, damn, but this shit is beautiful.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And he looked at me.
Cam Patterson
I'm like, it is beautiful. It kind of looked like heaven. And I was like, yeah, it do. And he went, if heaven was a real thing. And I got scared. Cause I don't want to be in the ocean with no atheist thinking that's crazy. You feel what I'm saying? You don't even believe in miracles, bitch. That's insane. Like, I'm dying. And I'm like, oh, God, help me. Nobody's coming to save you, nigga.

Cam Patterson
Nah, but he was saying, like, weird, like, you gonna. You look great in that wetsuit. When my ass was at. I was like, it's not. It's a bodysuit.

Tony Hinchcliffe
Huh? What else is going on in your world, Cam?
Cam Patterson
Oh, we just did them shows in Florida.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Back home was epic. Massive, massive venues in Florida with a lot of your family?
Cam Patterson
Yeah, a lot of my family came up. My best friend came. My brother came.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That is, I got to meet one of your real best friends from the streets. I mean, full on ankle bracelet, probation. I mean, straight up. Sometimes just taking off and running. When he saw the security people at the theater with us, were they with us?
Cam Patterson
All right, that's cool.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, but it was fun. Tell us about it. Anything else?
Cam Patterson
It was cool. No, I mean, that was it. We hung out a lot. You know what I'm saying?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Was his dad there? Of course. Did you talk about this spelling thing from a couple episodes ago? We didn't get a chance to. We were so busy. There was so much going on. He actually. His dad had soul food waiting for us in the green room. It was.
Cam Patterson
You missed that, man. We had a good dinner with my.
Michael White
My uncle.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like, stand how you guys ate more after that. There was.
Cam Patterson
We had A whole dinner. That was crazy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We're waiting on you.
Cam Patterson
They want to start eating until you got there. And I was like, man, I told
Tony Hinchcliffe
them to eat without me there. They UFC was starting. I couldn't. I couldn't eat a second dinner in three hours with. Yeah, a bunch of black people.
Red Band
Bunch of surfers, man.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, that. You know, those big surfing athletic types.
Cam Patterson
If y' all want to cancel, Tony, my family love that, man. Where the camera. They love my. They love Tony.
Red Band
Hell yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Absolutely. I did feel bad missing the thing, but two Kel. Tony fans were fighting in main events in the UFC this past weekend.
Red Band
Yeah, yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Unfortunately, did not turn out so well. Thank you, Cam. You're the man. Rock and roll. Fuck yeah, Cam Powders. All right, you guys having fun out there? How many of you like it when people do good on this show? How many of you like it when people do bad on this show? Wild, Rude, Ruthless. Make some noise for your next comedian. Out of the bucket. Justin Landers, everybody. Justin Landers.
Justin Landers
How's everybody doing tonight? You know, my wife, she makes and sells a lot of miniatures. So we got boxes of these things around the house. And the other day I was off diggin in one and I found this little bitty Lone Ranger mask. And immediately I thought, we're taking this in the bedroom, we're gonna do some role playing. And at first I thought I'd just strap it on my dick and call him the Armless Bandit. You know, he just runs around stealing the pussy. But instead I put it on my wife's vagina. And I'll be damned if that thing didn't look like the Hamburglar. So I shoved a French fry in it. And now she won't role play anymore. Now when I told my wife that joke, she goes, you better not tell that shit on stage. And I go, why not? She goes, cause I don't want a bunch of people thinking my pussy looks like a hamburger. I thought, well, they all kind of look like hamburgers. Some of them are double meat with lip lettuce. I tell you what, I'll take mine with no pickles. She goes, I'll tell you what, you can take your no pickles and go fuck yourself. My name is Justin Landers. Thank you all for playing along.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, Justin Landers with a minute. Fuck yeah. Hello, Justin. How long you been doing stand up?
Justin Landers
A year.
Tony Hinchcliffe
A year? Where at what trailer park exactly are you doing?
Justin Landers
Washington State's where I started.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Washington State. Out there in the fucking real country. The Greenlands. Euphrate Euphrate.
Justin Landers
No, we were from Centralia is where from I came.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Centralia. Fuck, yeah. How big were the audiences that you were?
Red Band
It's the Wooster of the North.
Justin Landers
Yeah, they were probably 30, 40 people.
Tony Hinchcliffe
30 or 40 people. I love it. And was that the type of material you were doing, talking about the miniatures and whatnot? Yeah. What is exactly like a miniature? Like collective item?
Justin Landers
No, like miniatures. Like dollhouse.
Chen
She.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Talk right into the.
Justin Landers
She makes, like, dollhouse furniture. Food for dollhouses. So we just got these boxes of miniatures.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. You're still up there in the country of Washington?
Justin Landers
No, we live in Bastrop now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. What are you doing for work?
Justin Landers
I'm a welder fabricator.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Hell yeah.
Red Band
That's it with miniatures or bigger houses. Because if they're small, you got to go bigger. That's. Just let your wife know that that's where the money is.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Maybe that's just soldering when it's that small. So you're out there welding. What else about you? What do you do for fun?
Justin Landers
Well, anymore, I haul my son around rodeos. He rides bulls. And I did that for about.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How old's your son?
Justin Landers
Sixteen.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Sixteen. And you. And how long did you ride bulls for?
Justin Landers
I rode bulls for about 15 years.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow, look at that. Not anything crazy.
Red Band
Big ones or little?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Big ones. Some miniature bulls.
Justin Landers
Yeah, they've got them.
Red Band
You gotta stay on eight minutes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Red Band
Then you just fall off out of boredom.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. We're going to the. No deal. All right. All right. So what are your goals with stand up comedy? What do you think's going on here? What do you see yourself doing?
Justin Landers
Well, I started because I was 46. My son, he's 16. He's got a couple more years of school, and I was wondering what the hell I was gonna do with myself. So I wrote a few jokes and started hitting some open mics. And it worked out a little bit. Got started opening a few shows and got about eight minutes worth of material. That's pretty solid.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right.
Justin Landers
That's about where I'm at.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I love that. How's the crystal meth blab going? Have you ever tried. What's the most hillbilly thing about you? Because I know what people from eastern Washington are like. We have some friends, the great and powerful Davey Wester, who has cerebral palsy and always has a big lip of tobacco. And it's leaking out of his. How are you? Dur da da da da. He's one of the paid regulars at the Comedy Store. And I could see A little bit of him in you. I see that maybe it was a grandfather or someone really close in your genealogy. A family member. It's very. That's what they do there. Tell the people that I'm not making this up. That is what it's like. It's basically, as you could tell, Billy Bomb Thornton here looks like one of the half a devil's reject. There you go. Look like the Purgatory reject or something like that. Damn. All right, so what's something white trash
Justin Landers
about you so white trash about me? Well, I've lived in trailer parks. I sound like this.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And that's one of the big ones for sure. Yeah.
Justin Landers
And I've been pouring broke most my life, so there you go.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hell yeah. I love it. How do you. What do you do for fun when you're not doing stand up or not since your rodeo days are behind you.
Justin Landers
Oh. Anymore. I just hang out with my wife and my kids mostly.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How long you been with your wife? Life?
Justin Landers
17 years.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. What is it? How do you. How do you stay erect while her. After 17 years, is there something you imagine. Is there something about her that drives you crazy? I'm interested.
Justin Landers
It still works for me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
She's all good. Yeah, she works for you.
Red Band
So the role play, that was just something you were trying? Yeah, that wasn't.
Justin Landers
Well, I've seen the mask.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Justin Landers
Do something right.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you ever put your. Are you ever so sick of your wife that you use the welder's mask when you're her?
Justin Landers
No, but I put on a pair of shafts before, so.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Whoa, hey, that's a. That's a normal Wednesday night for me, you know what I mean? All right.
Red Band
Dude, you might get some more noises out of her if you brought a blowtorch into the bedroom.
Tony Hinchcliffe
God.
Red Band
Yeah, it's a big Washington angle.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Oh, here she is right now. His lovely wife. There she is.
Cam Patterson
Thank you.
Red Band
Thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, Justin. Well, hell, yeah, we have another one, right? I feel like there's something more, though. I feel like there's something I'm missing about you here. You ever almost die or save anybody's life or anything like that?
Justin Landers
Yeah, I've almost died several times.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Let's hear about some of those. That's what I'm kind of wanting to.
Justin Landers
They were all bull riding stuff. I got jerked down so hard one time when bull hit me on the end. The chin, the back of my head in the middle of my back.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hard as a rock.
Sam Castillo
Right now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You have to slow down. You almost made me come in My pants just then. I'm sorry. Because on this show, I'm gay, everybody.
Red Band
You remind me of me. If I did something really bad once. You look like I could have gone that angle.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yep, a hundred percent. That was you trying crystal meth one time.
Red Band
Parks and Rack or Method?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Parks and Rec or Parks and meth? Parks and meth.
Red Band
Meth in a park.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You ever do a crazy drug? You seem like you maybe have skipped the hard stuff and just gone straight to sniffing. Like a normally legal substance, like a.
Justin Landers
I've tried a little bit of everything, but anymore I narrow it down to, you know, hallucinogens and weed like everybody else.
Red Band
But yeah, I got a lot of fans out there.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I like it.
Red Band
So is glue involved with miniatures? Miniatures? No glue. No Elmers or just Elmer a neighbor.
Justin Landers
Just testers model glue.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Huh. Rubber cement.
Justin Landers
Not for me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Keyboard cleaner. Computer keyboard cleaner.
Justin Landers
These are all really white trash drugs you're throwing at me, huh?
Bill Rhodes
God damn.
Red Band
I don't know what led us to even go that down that road.
Cam Patterson
Fentanyl.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You ever do any fentanyl?
Michael White
No. Fentanyl.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You ever drink water? Seem like you're like strictly Mountain Dew or something like that? Is the energy that I'm like, you have.
Red Band
Is the boy winning? Does he. Does he do good out there?
Michael White
Yeah.
Red Band
Do you take a piece of it? A piece of the money? If he's making money.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Piece of the belt buckle?
Justin Landers
Yeah, I got one of his buckles.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, wow, look at that. There was. That was the moment where I came in my pants, everybody. All right, Justin. Fun times. Here's a little joke book. Thank you. Justin Landers, everybody.
Red Band
You gave him the miniature?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, he's getting miniature. Kirk said a miniature joke book. All right, this looks like a new name. Let's see what happens here. Makes it nice for Frank. A wife. Frank Awasaka or Awasika. Yeah.
Frank Awasika
So when I was younger, I used to have a lot of trouble talking to pretty girls, to my uncle. He told me they're just living, breathing, shitting human beings, just like you. But now every time I talk to a woman, I picture them taking a shit. Why do y' all eat so much
Red Band
corn
Frank Awasika
if you couldn't tell by that last joke, I am a virgin.
Hans Kim
Yep.
Frank Awasika
Vaginas have a long history of ducking me. I was a C section. Yeah, I joke about it now, but I'll tell you what, that one hurts me the most. I was trying to get into that pussy for like nine months, All that, and the doctor just cockbacked me, bro. He Pulled me out of there and he was like. I was like, man, what the heck? And he was like, man, I had to get you out of there. Your head is huge. And she's been pushing for like 72 hours. And there's corn all the way over my operating table.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, Frank Awasika, by far, one of the funniest floating pink hats we've ever had on the show before. Absolutely incredible. I've never seen a pink hat do an entire 60 second set like that before. That was amazing. Frank, welcome. How long you been doing stand up?
Frank Awasika
Few years now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Frank Awasika
We're at mostly here in Austin.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Here in Austin. Is this where you're born and raised?
Frank Awasika
No, I was born and raised in Houston, Texas.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Houston, Texas? Hell yeah. A lot of fans of Houston here. Are you really a virgin?
Frank Awasika
Yes and no.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Can you give us an. Can you give us an explanation on exactly what you mean?
Frank Awasika
Okay. At the time of riding the joke, whenever people ask me that question, I kind of sideways it, right? Because the. The term virgin is a social construct, I guess you could say. So when.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Whenever they.
Cam Patterson
Whenever you.
Frank Awasika
Whenever you guys ask me about it, I'm talking. You're talking about like, oh, has he been in some punani? But whenever I say I'm a virgin, I'm talking about alcohol. Like, I don't drink alcohol.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wait, what?
Frank Awasika
I'm a virgin. To alcohol. At least when I wrote that joke. Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wait, what.
William Montgomery
What the fuck just happened?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. That's crazy. You. You admitted to a totally different thing that had nothing to do with the C section. So have you been inside of a woman or a man or anything before? Are you a virgin?
Frank Awasika
These are real personal questions you're asking me, Tony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hell yeah. I don't know what show you thought you signed up for, but you're in it.
Red Band
It's not all corn and games.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, exactly. This is the real deal. I mean, you mentioned it. You talked about it during your set, so I'm just going back to try to figure out. Yeah. Yeah, Tony, what else we could talk about.
Anthony Papali
I've.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I've. Yeah, I've.
Frank Awasika
I've been in some pussy. Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hell yeah. How old are you?
Frank Awasika
I'm 26.
Tony Hinchcliffe
26 years old. What do you do for work?
Red Band
I fuck pussy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, there's many twists and turns.
Frank Awasika
I've recently had a change of occupations, and right now my main source of income is poker.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Poker? Yeah. Okay.
Frank Awasika
But it's also my main source of debt.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So what are we talking about? How much do you spend or how many hours do you Spend playing poker.
Frank Awasika
Too much. Too much. Maybe like seven, eight hours. Hours a day.
Tony Hinchcliffe
A day. So you're online most of the time, right? So. Wow.
Red Band
That's your even talking to him? He doesn't want to tell you what he has.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, yeah.
Frank Awasika
I don't like to give out personal information.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You're keeping your cards very close to your chest.
Red Band
That's good for comedy. You're gonna go places.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Hold it all in and make up shit.
Red Band
Make them guess. Make up him. Figure out my joke on the river.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Yeah. I love it. So tell us more about you. What can you talk about? Frank Awasa. What do you do for fun? Tell us more about Frank.
Frank Awasika
I like to play. What do I like to do for fun? Hold on.
Red Band
Huh?
Frank Awasika
Last time you asked me this question, right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, you were. You've been on this show before. Oh, you have a big joke book.
Red Band
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How do I not remember you? What's. What's under the pink hat?
Red Band
He won that in a poker game.
Frank Awasika
I like to play basketball.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What? What?
Frank Awasika
I like to play basketball.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Why'd you look at your. You wrote it down to remember that.
Red Band
Wait, let me see.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What.
Red Band
I like to play fucking basketball. I am a basketball player. My friend.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Frank, you're an interesting character.
Frank Awasika
Yeah, I try to be.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So what? I asked you what you do, but I feel like we got off track. You switched occupations. What is it now?
Frank Awasika
Poker.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And what was it then? You said you switched occupations?
Frank Awasika
Well, I didn't switch. I got into. At my last job, I got into a bit of an altercation.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, tell us about that.
Frank Awasika
Okay, so, all right, so it's a. Not that serious. It's a wee bit of a.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Just tell us the story, we'll decide if it's serious and everything else.
Cam Patterson
What happened?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Where were you at? What kind of job was this?
Frank Awasika
I'm waiting these tables right in a
Tony Hinchcliffe
waiter at a restaurant.
Frank Awasika
A middle aged woman comes in. She has short hair, a business suit.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Karen, Karen.
Frank Awasika
You can say that she looks kind of like Jamie Lee Curtis, but imagine she always had a rock in her shoes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Frank Awasika
She comes in and she. Everything's all right, right? She's wearing a suit. I'm like, all right, you can have a seat. And everything's normal. It's business casual and she orders a lobster. And great choice, because the tip on that is like $8 at the time. So, you know, I'm already liking her. The tip on that is like $8. And then, okay, long story short, I get her the food.
Red Band
Never thought I'd miss miniatures. Fuck.
Frank Awasika
Long story. Okay, so we get her the food, right? And not even 10 minutes goes by
Red Band
and, oh, it's gone by.
Tony Hinchcliffe
She's
Frank Awasika
not even. Ten minutes goes by, and then she's like, excuse me, that right. I have to go. She was like, I'd like to check. And I was like, oh, I hope everything's okay. She's like, yeah, no, I just have to get out of here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
God damn it. Yeah, keep going.
Frank Awasika
So she's like, yeah, no, no, I just have to get out of here. And I was like, okay, well, I can get you a doggy bag. She's like, no, no, no, it's okay. I'm not gonna finish it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You call it a doggy bag or a to go box?
Frank Awasika
Doggy bag.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, yeah. All right, you're going down. Treacherous territories here. Go ahead.
Frank Awasika
And she goes, no, no, no, it's okay. I would just like to check. So I slapped her across the face.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Really?
Frank Awasika
I said, you got to get your shit together, Sharon. You can't be wasting all this food. There's starving kids in Africa.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, so you're, like, joking right now?
Frank Awasika
Yeah, I'm joking.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, so what really happened?
Frank Awasika
I didn't work. I was not a waiter. I, I, I worked at a. Oh, God.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's all right. There he goes. Frank Awasa, everybody. Not his best night. Hell yeah. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. It happens to everybody. Frank Awasika, everybody. There he goes. Absolutely. There goes Frank, everyone. Yikes. Maybe it's low blood sugar. These people tend to get diabetes and whatnot, so it could be anything. Let's not judge a book by its.
Red Band
I feel I just got diabetes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Something could be. It could be a medical event or something like that. That's all.
Red Band
Can you imagine playing poker with him? But everyone would just fold so easy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
If you're in the interview part of this show, all you have to do is, like, answer the questions honestly and you can end up looking good. But yikes. Whatever that was. All right, make some miss for your next bucket poll. You guys said you like it when people do bad, so I don't feel bad for you guys at all. Your next bucket poll. Anything can happen. This looks like a new name. One word name. We love those. Make some noise for Chen, everybody. Let's see what happens with Chen, the Kil Tony debut. I do believe of Chen. It is indeed Chen, everybody. Come on, make some noise for Chen, everyone.
Chen
Hello. Hello. So Christmas is upon us. It's a season for gifts and, well, Jesus, too.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right?
Chen
And so then you have to think about the different kind of gifts that we get. And, well, the one gift that always irked me was something like the gift of. Of life. Because the person who mentions it usually follows it up with, like, what you owe them. Like, you know, when you go to church, they talk about the gift of life. When you go visit your mom, she's like, I gave you the gift of life, so you owe me. But the thing with these kind of gifts is, like, I didn't ask for it, I'm just giving it. And by the time I'm already here, it's already too late. So I don't know. So gifts are these kind of things.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, Chen, everybody. Absolutely. All right, let's talk about it. Chen. Fuck yeah. I love it. You are a. Are you an Asian woman? What's going on here exactly? I don't know. Exactly. I don't know what they are right now. Oh, man. What's going on, Chad? I'm just kidding. How are you? You okay? Is this your first time doing standup?
Chen
No, I actually. Okay, well, actually. Well, first time doing stand up, but this is not my first mic.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right.
Chen
Yes. And about the previous question, I'm actually trans, but.
Michael White
But.
Chen
But the thing is, I'm not like one of those that force people to call me, like, pronouns, because I think that's just wrong.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Which direction are you going in trance? I don't even know where you started and where you're going. I don't know if that's a rude question, quite honestly. This is kill Tony, and I can say whatever I want, so I have no regrets here, but I'm really. You're. You're. You're. I really have no. It could go either way, Right?
Red Band
The pronoun now, it would be a crapshoot. Right.
Chen
I'm actually going from male to female.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Male to female. Beautiful. Beautiful. I love it. It's stunning. No, it's great. No, you're very pretty. It's amazing.
Red Band
Well, you're on the right track.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Red band is two shots of tequila away from the out.
Chen
I mean. I mean, the beer goggles are really helping around the scene, actually.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I love it. So, Chen, that's great. This is all good to find out. I love it. So when did you realize that you were a woman or feel like you were a woman? When did that start? How old are you right now?
Chen
I'm 32, actually.
Tony Hinchcliffe
32. So when does it start for you?
Chen
When I was. Well, when I was young. I. Well, it's not so. Okay, okay, okay. This is one of those really weird ones, because when you look at people who became trans, a lot of times it's people who strongly want to be a woman when they first started out. But I'm not like that. It's more like, first of all, like, I'm okay with being a boy, but don't want to be a man, and.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You're okay with being a boy, but you don't want to be a man?
Chen
Yes.
Red Band
Are you sure you're on the right track?
Chen
Well, and also, I don't have the desire to dominate things either. In fact, I'm actually submissive, but that's another topic.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Ooh, red band. Look how excited Red band is submissive.
Chen
And. Well, and I also like cute and soft things.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You like what?
Chen
I like cute and soft things, too.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Red Band
I'm right here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hell, yeah. And I think we're all about as soft as it gets right now.
Red Band
And personally, you're close enough.
Chen
Well, thank you. That means a lot to me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So what's. What are we out here? You thinking about turning your egg roll into a rice bowl? What's going on here? What are we talking about? Let's get into the. Look.
Chen
Look, the first time I came to kill Tony was when I was September 4th, actually, this.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Of this year.
Chen
Of this year?
Sam Castillo
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You were on the show.
Chen
No, I was in the.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, I was gonna say your transition's going really well, because I do not remember you at all September 4th. You were in the audience.
Chen
Yes. And it captivated me. And I'm here for the violence, so don't go easy on me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. All right. I was told this before by a former opener in Dallas.
Red Band
Passive. Watch it hard.
Chen
And I'm also submissive, and I like paying, so, you know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, back to submissive. You're really pushing this. You're basically using the. Shadow is a dating app right now. I love it. So you started your set with hello, hello. Is that a trademark, do you think, moving forward?
Chen
Well, for both sexes, not yet, but if it is something that I'm subconsciously doing, I might as well make it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, now, you're wearing a Dungeons and Dragons hoodie, so let's just jump right into that. Are you a pro player?
Chen
Actually, no.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Someone's very upset about that. They had very high expectations for your Dungeons and Dragons.
Chen
However, I do play Dungeons and Dragons online, and I also played.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You also play a little Dungeons and Faggons. You know what I'm saying?
Chen
I can promise you Dungeons, but not so much Dragons.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right. I bet there is indeed the old brown dungeon over there. Very submissive.
Red Band
I'd love to see your action, avatar.
Frank Awasika
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What are you, a cleric or.
Bill Rhodes
What are you?
Chen
Oh, I'm actually. I'm actually a druid.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh. Oh. About it. So, yeah, you're. You got quirky spells.
Chen
I like nature things, but I mix in fire and holy at the same time.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. I mean, I have no idea what you. The. You're talking about. It's unbelievable. It's very interesting. Do you also play Magic the Gathering?
Chen
Actually, that one I do play, yes.
Michael White
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We are shocked. Wow. I do believe the crowd goes wild in absolute shock and horror. Nobody saw it coming. You do actually, Tony. I do. I love the dramatic pause there. Wow. Tell us more. Rattle off some more nerd things about you. It's very interesting.
Chen
Well, I play World of Warcraft with my friends.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God. Hit it again, Hit it again. Hit it again. All right, tell us. Tell us something else.
Chen
Well, hard mode, actually.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you play in expert mode?
Chen
Expert mode?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you play most games in expert mode?
Chen
No.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, well, actually, I am surprised at
Chen
that one because I'm actually more American than Asian. So if you have expectations of me carrying the whole.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What kind of American are you? Native American. I'm not exactly sure. All right.
Chen
Believe it or not, I'm actually born from Wuhan.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh.
Chen
Which is unfortunate.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. And I think you're gonna end up in a laboratory.
Red Band
I saw that. I saw that. I could tell. I spent a month there.
Chen
There's. There's many things to talk about, but.
Red Band
Oh, we have time.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, no, we do. You're gonna. You're gonna have a extra long interview here. No doubt about it. Very compelling story. So tell us more about this transitioning adventure. What are some things you do to be more. If you're becoming more ladylike or some goals for you or whatever. Are you basically just saying anyone can you. At any time in your.
Chen
Well, I am bi, so, you know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
But how often have you. How often do you hook up with women? And when you do, do you consider that like a lesbian relationship? Do you have them, like, eat out where your balls are? I don't know. These are my questions. Welcome to Texas. This is figuring out trans in Texas. So Tony Trans Texas. Tony Triple T. So actually, I only
Chen
been with one woman before.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Before one women. I like how you use plural there. I don't believe you. I've only been with one women. Did it identify as multiple women?
Chen
No, she was an exchange student.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You really are goddamn American. Look at that pounding out an exchange student.
Chen
She got her citizenship, and I guess I wasn't as successful as she wanted, so it didn't work out.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That makes sense. So you put your wiener and her. Her pee pee hole.
Chen
No, she's a girl.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right, but I'm saying you put your penis in her vagina.
Chen
Used to. Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right.
Red Band
I've already forgotten what direction you're going in.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right.
Red Band
Which way's the transition?
Tony Hinchcliffe
You used to, but now you don't. Why don't you? You can't.
Chen
I don't think having sex with your wife's ex wife's vagina is part of the alimony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So was your wife.
Chen
She was my wife at one point.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's great. We're like. We're figuring out a riddle while doing an interview at the same time. Well, Tony, the reason why I don't put the penis in the vagina is because it's my ex wife. Oh, look who's back. Famous homophobe D Madness. Ladies, just in time for your worst nightmare. Dee, we've been missing you. We've been missing your scoffs and earplugs for minutes over here. You're gonna love this. This one D. I'm excited. Let's just say we got a she madness trying to turn into a he madness or some shit like that the
Chen
other way, but yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Have you practiced your woman voice yet?
Chen
I actually looked into it today, but let's.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Let's hear. How many of you want to hear a little bit of. All right, here she is. Chen, everybody. Oh, so hard to be woman. Oh, oh. I'm more American, and I am Asian. I was doing laundry the other day, and I'm like, oh, this so much fun. Cause I'm a lady. I love being lady. I'm gonna cook spaghetti better than the other guy. I sell lo mein noodle out of my pants. All right, I'm sorry. We'll edit that out. Don't cancel me.
Chen
No, no, no, no, no. It's fine.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Sorry. I'm sorry.
Chen
And look, look, I actually haven't been practicing a woman voice.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, let's hear it, though. Let's hear what you think. Come on. Let's just try a little bit. I can't do it.
Chen
It doesn't work. Because it only works.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I was born of the dog. I am a woman ladylike. I'm a druid.
Chen
No, Tony, I'm trying. Tony, my women voice voice only right now. My women voice only comes out when I have sex, so. Oh, So I can't really.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Michael, shove your Helmet up his ass. Real quick. Guess what I came back for. D. Madness is officially freaking out. That's if you're wondering. He doesn't have a mic on, so I'll keep you guys posted.
Red Band
You might still be, you know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's true.
Chen
It's true, Tony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, so, Chen, so your lady voice only happens when you're having sex?
Chen
Yes, unfortunately.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, but what else. What else is happening? What are some things you do? Are you, like. Do you, like, overly. You, like, get dressed up as a woman? You have, like, dresses and stuff?
Chen
Not publicly, because I don't want to make people uncomfortable.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You don't make people uncomfortable.
Chen
Like, I'm like a really. I'm like a really considerate.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No, you're really pretty. Let me ask you this. Hold on a second, because you just said something really interesting. You just said you're a considerate trans.
Chen
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right. So are you saying that other trans people are inconsiderate for being so blatant and overly annoying about their stance on everything? You think that they're being inconsiderate? You with your powerful voice in the absolute field?
Chen
Well, the. The way I see it is that until I become passable, I'm not going to push myself on people.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Frank Awasika
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And why do you think so many other unpassable people People try. Hey, I'm here. This is the. The interview. Idiot meets trans person. Live well. Egg roll into a rice ball.
Michael White
No,
Chen
it's something like this. It's actually really hard to be a guy, if you think about it, because
Tony Hinchcliffe
I've been saying that my whole life. I've been really struggling with it.
Red Band
Yeah, go on. Yeah, now you're talking.
Chen
Because. So I know it was hard to be a guy, but I didn't have the words for it until I saw this channel called Ho Math on YouTube. It's actually pretty good.
Red Band
I know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's more.
Red Band
Go on.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Homath.
Chen
Homath. Yes. It's good stuff. And he mentioned that. So for when. And this is almost too simple, but for guys, guys value looks, value, like personality, and then maybe share some hobbies.
Anthony Papali
Right.
Chen
But for women, when they look at guys, your ability to provide goes on the nice value, but your ability to be mean but also be dominating goes on the bad boy scale. So for a man to be desirable, they both have to have the ability to provide, but they also have to have the ability to dominate and also make her feel, I guess, wanted. I guess.
Red Band
Yeah. And I was thinking the same thing. That's really fucking. You're right on.
Chen
And it's one of those things where once you become trans, where you look at the world from both the men's perspective and.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, I'm gonna be honest with you. I almost said dude, but I stopped myself. I got so ADHD during your explanation of that that I literally started thinking about the song ADHD from the guy that makes spaghetti out of his, what he called industrial size apartment, which I'm pretty sure is a fucking janitor's closet. Okay, I love it. Any other fun facts about Chen that we should know?
Chen
Well, well, there are actually plenty. My. So when I was in the audience, like, everyone here, I made a promise that I wanted to be good on stage because I saw the basis here. And then.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God.
Chen
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Cam Patterson
Wait, wait, wait.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God. What is about to happen right now?
Chen
Because look, look, comedy is the antitoxin to social media, if you really think about it. Because if you look at social media, people are, like, having fantastic lives all the time, right? But in comedy, people bomb a lot of times. So you realize that life is not as good as social media, but it's also not as bad as, you know,
Red Band
stand up comedy, transitioning, complicated.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, it really is. It really is.
Chen
But.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, Chen, a very, very interesting interview. I'm gonna give you a big joke book because I like the interview. Fun stuff. Here you go. Ooh, Catches like a man. There goes Chen, everybody. You're gonna get a gel blaster as well. Absolutely. She bows. I don't know if you guys noticed, there's a little Asians left in her. All right, we're going back to the bucket Makes noise for Sam Castillo, everybody. Sam Castillo.
Sam Castillo
Just got out of a long relationship. It's hard to move on, you know, it's hard to forget her because she's from India, so all my clothes still smell like her food.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah,
Sam Castillo
it's a very loving home, but, you know, it's rough. I remember when I met her family,
Tony Hinchcliffe
everyone in her family.
Sam Castillo
Arranged marriages. And they told us, if you guys get married, you're gonna be the first ever love marriage in our family. I said, same for mine. Now I'm dating again. I'm a recovering drug addict. Dating sober's difficult. Sex is sober is difficult. Cause you actually have to, like, be there, you know, you can't just phone it in drunk. Like, it took me two and a half hours to come the other night, and this girl was like, oh, my God, you have so much stamina. I was like, no, I just don't love you. It's difficult. The school was like, I get addiction. I'm addicted to spin class. And I was like, I've never stolen from my family to ride a bike that goes nowhere.
Tony Hinchcliffe

Went for the double bag and it turns out you get one of those and drink. And drink water. Sometimes you're just. I had to make a choice. Either I pee or I pee my pants. I have a feeling I would not have peed my pants. By the sound of the audience during your set, though.

Best joke tonight was when you're sober, you Actually have to have sober sex with somebody. It's difficult to like. You have to be there. You can't just fake it drunk. The other day, I had sex. It took me two hours to come, and this girl was like, wow, you have a lot of stamina. I just told her, no, I just don't love you.
Red Band

Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, put the mic in the mic stand. Let's get a spotlight, and let's. And let's see a little bit about boxing. You got some boxing for me, Matt Muelling. All right, look out that way. Don't look at me. In box. All right, here he goes. He's boxing. Oh, wow. Absolutely terrible. Horrific. You have to get your right hand up. You have to.
Red Band
You're.
Tony Hinchcliffe
They don't. You don't remember them telling you that? Whoa. You almost hit yourself there. Oh, you're beating them the out of yourself. Whoa. Oh, my God. Oh. You're literally the worst boxer I've ever seen. I mean, it's literally.
Sam Castillo
I'm like, three weeks.
Red Band
Have you started or.
Sam Castillo
I'm like, three weeks into it.
Red Band
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
At a gym. At a boxing gym. You go to a boxing gym for the last three weeks, and that's where you're at with.
Sam Castillo
I'm like, boxing?
Tony Hinchcliffe
No.
Red Band
1.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's the fundamentally. It's fundamentally the weakest boxing I've ever seen.
Sam Castillo
I know.
Red Band
I've never seen. And you're paying for that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Get your hands up.
Red Band
No.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Red Band
That looks like a free lesson.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you have any idea how many times you would have gotten hit in the face by anybody with using that form in any. Not only boxing, but even any fight whatsoever?
Sam Castillo
Yeah, it would have been fucked up.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. I know a guy that makes spaghetti would have beat the shit out of you, dude. That's all I'm gonna say about that. Biggest fun fact about your life that we would find interesting. Your entire life? 30 years.
Sam Castillo
I'm an identical twin.
Red Band
Oh, is he a drug addict also?
Sam Castillo
No, no. He's a naval officer.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How do you think you guys ended up so different?
Sam Castillo
Just our parents had really pushed us in different life paths, you know?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Give us an example of what you mean by that.
Sam Castillo
My dad's just, like. He had to, like, go to court order, anger management therapy. He was just a Real crazy guy. I was like, his therapist. He just kind of like.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you get angry now, too, sometimes? No. 30 years old, you have a. You think you have a little spark of that in your.
Sam Castillo
Yeah, I work on it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. What's the last time? Last time you got really angry? Can you tell us about that?
Red Band
Did you hit someone?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like, I'm gonna show you.
Red Band
Nay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you have any idea how low. Much lower I can. Can keep my hands? Come on. You fight like the Notre Dame logo. Come on, Sucker and succotash. Do you want a piece of this, huh? Well, blow me the. All right, what the fuck was my last question?
Sam Castillo
Oh, last time I got really angry.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, come on, tell us about it.
Sam Castillo
Just, I had, like, a bit of road rage. I have a bit of road rage problem.
Tony Hinchcliffe
But I mean, a specific time, a good angry time.
Sam Castillo
I like. I guess I fist fought my dad recently. Well, a couple week months ago.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Fist bumped, fist fought. Okay, let's talk about. Please. So how does it start? Take us. From the very beginning.
Sam Castillo
My dad was just like. Just give me a hard time about my life.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like, what. What is he saying? Try to be specific. It doesn't have to be funny.
Sam Castillo
I'd gotten out of a relationship. He's like, you move. You got a roommate at 30. You're, you know, breaking even when you feature on the road. You're like kind of a. You're a loser. I'm like, yeah, I know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What does your dad do?
Sam Castillo
He's a. What's it called? Not a suit. He's a superintendent for construction sites. So he, like, is a. He builds high rises, right? Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Okay, so he's talking shit to you about being an artist. Are you making a little bit of money at all?
Sam Castillo
I'm paying about half my bills with comedy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you know. Do you live with them? No. Right. You live on your own?
Sam Castillo
I got a roommate right now, right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Okay, so he's boxing instructor.
Red Band
What's that? Is your roommate a boxing instructor?
Tony Hinchcliffe
No. No.
Red Band
So he pays the rent. Does he try to fight?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, so your dad is telling you that you're just breaking even, featuring on the road, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And you say, what, you never chased your dreams, dad?
Sam Castillo
Well, he was a. He was a failed actor, so I told him. You're a failed fucking actor.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, by the way, if you guys don't know, because I know there's some Texans here, maybe you don't know this, but if you're a failed actor, there is nothing worse in the world than being called A failed actor, like, it is like a. It's. It's an unbelievable thing. A failed actor is a rare, rare bird because they have to depend on other people to hire them for a specific thing.
Red Band
And a failed actor with a failed son, I mean.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
Red Band
That's when it starts adding up. You just.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And you have to realize.
Red Band
You guys fought. I would have liked to have seen that fight.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, yeah. We're getting to it. We're almost there. Okay, but let me just tell you. Let me just tell you, because I. I know this, but, like, failed actors have a thing where, like, they go. They go their whole lives so they'll see, you know, fucking movies with great actors and they go. They think to themselves, I could have done that. What kind of look does he have?
Sam Castillo
He's got, like, a jet black mustache. I'm half Mexican, so he's just got, like, full, hairy forearms and, like, it looks like El Chapo. He's very chubby.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, okay. Very chubby. And he really tried to act for a while. He tried hard.
Sam Castillo
Yeah. He was like a stage actor. Like, was a thespian and whatnot. Went to college.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Now he's a construction superintendent. You're chasing your dreams. Yeah, it's okay. So you called him a failed actor, and then he lunges at you.
Sam Castillo
He told me I was gonna die alone.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I love that one. That's actually one of my favorite insults to use on my children that I hate. Yeah, I'm kidding. I don't have kids, but I would, if you were my kid, I would say that.
Sam Castillo
Thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. He says, you're gonna die alone. And then what do you say to him?
Sam Castillo
I just was, smartass. I just go, I'm gonna fucking die with roommates.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You know, it's even worse. That's amazing. I like that. I love it. You just talk harder. You talk deeper. Shit about how sad I'm gonna die with fucking roommates and cold ramen noodles on my lap, bro. With a empty Pop Tart wrapper at my feet. Missing one sock for some reason. That's how I'm gonna die. All right, so then what happens? And so then he's like, put down your dukes.
Sam Castillo
And then my mom starts to, like, cry. And so we.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, hell yeah.
Sam Castillo
So then we, like, get a few swings in. We stop up, and we stopped.
Red Band
But no one connected, right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Just. Just. Just body shots for sure. Even though your head fully exposed. I mean, absolutely incredible. So when was this fight?
Sam Castillo
It was a few months ago.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right. So you're like this dad Got the best of me. I'm going to the boxing gym.
Red Band
I'll be ready. I'll be ready next time.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. You and your dad have a rocky relationship?
Sam Castillo
We're good now. Kind of the one that made me push into boxing was I fist fought my brother and he knocked over the Christmas tree, and so that's why I started boxing, huh?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. So you fought your brother?
Sam Castillo
I also fought my brother.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Your twin brother?
Paul Ciphers
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God. A battle of the Titan.
Sam Castillo
Really me up.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Yeah. He went into the Navy and you went into the nothing. Right?
Cam Patterson
Wow.
Red Band
Did he knock over the tree trying to hit you?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, he was pretty drunk.
Sam Castillo
He spun around and knocked over the tree.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Fuck. All right, Samwell, I honestly have no idea what happened during your set. I went pee for the first time in absolute years during somebody's set. But you're still getting a little joke book. There he goes. Sam Castillo, everybody. I don't think I can can do the double bag of the IV anymore. Before a show, get a little pee bag under the. I think we need a pee bag. Yoni, order peabags. Thy shall piss in thy throne from here on out. For I almost soiled my shorts on this day. All right, back to the show. And we're back. Hello, everybody. All right, Red band saying this should be be the last bucket pull of the night, but we started a little late. I don't know. Make some noise for 60 seconds uninterrupted from Bill Rhodes, everybody. Bill Rhodes,
Chen
Short as baby.
Bill Rhodes
We'll just take this up here. Good evening, everybody. I am Bill Rhodes, the foul mouth teacher. I am actually a teacher which is kind of up because as a college student, I was absolutely horrible. If you pull up my high school transcripts, you can see this young lady right here is not the only one with 34 C's in this room. Before I became a teacher, I worked in the prison system for a long time. I was a riot team commander, a captain. And I felt like I needed something more like dangerous, something more exciting in my life. So I started teaching middle school. The more I worked with inmates and students, I realized there's a lot of parallels, right? So constantly I heard just constantly bitching about, like, the cafeteria food, how horrible it was. They constantly. I was constantly telling them, walk on the right side of the hallway and to the only way to get fired is to fight one or one.
Justin Landers
Right?
Bill Rhodes
And even then, I feel like I'd just get shipped to another campus. Thank you. I'm Bill Rhodes. That's my time.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Bill Rhodes. Okay. Hi. Bill, how are you?
Bill Rhodes
Hey, Tony, how are you?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Great. So you're really a middle school teacher?
Bill Rhodes
Unfortunately, yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Are you one of, like those, like. What's that show? Like scared to Death or something like that? Like Scared straight Scared, get your together?
Bill Rhodes
Constantly.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What?
Bill Rhodes
Constantly.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. I love it. Where are you doing this middle school teaching at?
Bill Rhodes
In a little big town called Huto, Texas. I'll probably get fired for saying that. Thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Go Hippos. There you go.
Bill Rhodes
You know hippos, right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
You guys are the hippos.
Hans Kim
Yeah.
Bill Rhodes
That's cool.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How the did you. You know that that's where I live?
Anthony Papali
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like, I literally. I live more in also. You live in the home of the hippos? Yeah. You have. You're a hippo that has a home in the home of the hippos.
Bill Rhodes
Don't tell anybody I was here, please.
William Montgomery
I mean, it's on the Internet.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I love it. Okay. Bill Rhodes, how long have you been attempting standup comedy?
Bill Rhodes
About two and a half months.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. What made you want to start doing this?
Bill Rhodes
I have to entertain seventh graders constantly. So I figure if I could, like, I. I don't know, I feel like I could juggle on a unicycle, and sometimes kids don't get it. So I had. I had to, like, step up my game and do something better to get the attention of people, specifically kids.
Red Band
Could you juggle on a unicycle?
Bill Rhodes
God, no. I'm bad as I have no coordination whatsoever.
Red Band
Right. And can I say one thing, Tony, man, Parallel. It's one word. One word. Right. Are you an English teacher?
Bill Rhodes
I am a history teacher.
Red Band
Okay. I'm just letting you know, you know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Let me tell you where the history of the word parallel comes from. You said a para. A parallel.
Bill Rhodes
Correct.
Red Band
Incorrect.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Say it again. Parallel. Parallel. Parallel. Parallel.
Bill Rhodes
I'm not a math teacher.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's not. Wouldn't be math either. We're going down. We're going down a lonely road here. I'm not a gym teacher, Tony. I. I love it. Okay.
Red Band
Not an intelligent teacher.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Slightly smarter.
William Montgomery
Degrees.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What?
Bill Rhodes
C's get degrees.
Tony Hinchcliffe
C's get degrees. Okay. Absolutely. Mediocrity all the way. I love it. Is that where you're from, Bill?
Bill Rhodes
I'm from Taylor. Thrall in that area.
Anthony Papali
Close to home.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you have like a motorcycle or something like that? Why do you look like.
Bill Rhodes
I kind of look like someone from Sans Sons of Anarchy butt fuck. Someone from Duck Dynasty in a Walmart bathroom.
Tony Hinchcliffe
There you go.
Michael White
But no.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Sure.
Red Band
I feel like most of your students will end up in prison.
Bill Rhodes
And I would be the first person to send them money for ramen noodles. I love my kids.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, hold on here, Bill. Let's slow it down. What is your secret diamond double life? Because there's definitely something going on. You have, like, a leather mask that you wear on weekends or something.
Bill Rhodes
Boring as I'm gonna be, I'm boring. I. I have three kids that I had custody of for most of my life.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And then what happened?
Bill Rhodes
Recently. Recently remarried.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's slow it down. You said that you have three kids who you had custody of most of your life. You still have custody of them?
Red Band
I do.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, okay.
Bill Rhodes
Mom had, like, the Internet and did other things.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What do you mean? She left. And what did she do?
Bill Rhodes
Left me with three kids. I don't care.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right. You didn't follow up at all?
Bill Rhodes
No. My kids are with me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right. Do you know where she is?
Bill Rhodes
She is. I don't know. Wherever some guy on the Internet was from.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right. How do you know she left you for some guy on the Internet? She told you that? Kind of, right? Tell us more.
Sam Castillo
So
Bill Rhodes
I went. When I worked at a prison, I worked long nights all the time. And I came home, and one day, she just decided she didn't want to be there anymore, so.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Did she leave a letter or something?
Bill Rhodes
No, she was there.
Tony Hinchcliffe
She told you in person?
Paul Ciphers
Yeah.
Bill Rhodes
She was like, I'm out like a fat kid in dodgeball.
Tony Hinchcliffe
She said that?
Bill Rhodes
Yeah. For real?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Were you already a middle school teacher when she said that?
Bill Rhodes
I was a high school teacher at that time.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And you were watching once, the fat kid playing dodgeball, weren't you?
Bill Rhodes
I am still the fat kid playing dodgeball, right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Absolutely. Okay. So how old are your kids?
Bill Rhodes
My youngest is 15. My boys are. It's my daughter. Fucking have one. That's it. And my boys are 19 and 20.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. 19 and 20. Are they built like accountant beefcakes as well?
Bill Rhodes
My younger son is. He looks like he didn't have a mom. Like, he fell right out of my ass.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, okay.
Red Band
He looks like he didn't have a mom, you said?
Michael White
Yeah.
Bill Rhodes
For real.
Red Band
He didn't.
Bill Rhodes
She.
Tony Hinchcliffe
There you go.
Red Band
She left pretty quick.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How did you overcompensate for them not having a mom? Did you do some, like, Mrs. Doubtfire at all?
Bill Rhodes
I bought a Jeep Wrangler.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Bill Rhodes
No, I. I used to take my daughter to get, like, pedicures, manicures, stuff like that. And just, you know, you're a good daddy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Stepped up. Look at that, he stepped up. That lady said.
Red Band
Was that ch. Is Chen sitting back out there?
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's Chad. Yeah, well, I'd be concerned, cuz if Chad's doing his woman's voice, you know what that means? Oh, my goodness. It smells like a Wuhan lab leak back there. All right, Bill Rhodes. Wow. Interesting. So what's your love life like now? What are you. What are you into?
Bill Rhodes
I'm coming up on my fourth year of marriage.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, congratulations. You found a second wife.
Bill Rhodes
I did. And my wife, she had never been married, no kids. So, like, my daughter finally has somebody to not hate in the house.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Interesting.
Red Band
You keep your new wife off the Internet.
Bill Rhodes
I actually wasn't big on the Internet until I met her.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, and then what. What did with that? What changed?
Bill Rhodes
I became a teacher.
Justin Landers
I don't know.
Bill Rhodes
I worked in the prison system for a long time. I just didn't have time. And when I became a teacher.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What did you do in the prison system?
Bill Rhodes
I was a riot team commander. Like, I beat people up for a living.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You catch a lot of guys butt raping other men?
Bill Rhodes
I actually didn't.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, you didn't.
Bill Rhodes
I did.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You did, actually. Can you explain to the people what that's like? And so, so slowly, Red.
Bill Rhodes
When a daddy and a daddy love each other very much.
Red Band
No, that's parallel.
Bill Rhodes
Yeah, parallel, parallel.
Justin Landers
Ll.
Bill Rhodes
No, I mean, I walked into the barber shop and saw one guy, you know, doing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What on.
Red Band
On doing his. Doing his hair?
Bill Rhodes
Yeah, he's getting his wang mouthied like they were earning barber credit. What was that?
Hans Kim
I don't know.
Bill Rhodes
They were earning barber credit.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It. Okay, it's prison talk.
Frank Awasika
Sorry.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right.
Red Band
They call it barber credit, not blowjob credit.
Bill Rhodes
It was a blowjob. He was sucking his dick for haircuts.
Red Band
That's where the money is.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Great. Craziest thing you've seen happen as a middle school teacher while this thing that surprised you that you've seen these rabble rousing kids nowadays up to in the classroom.
Bill Rhodes
I had a kid for an entire year, fake that he had Tourette syndrome and he would, like yell shit out.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's gonna be the fucking smartest kid you ever taught.
Bill Rhodes
And so I. I have.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, yeah, that's genius.
Bill Rhodes
I have Tourette syndrome. Like, I used to have, like the little twitches and stuff. So, like, I fell in love with this kid. I'm like, oh, you know, I'm gonna.
Sam Castillo
Oh, my God.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Not like that. Slow down. What are his tics?
Bill Rhodes
So his tics are like, boy, and sure has some big titties.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And These are people in the classroom.
Bill Rhodes
I have that tic in the classroom.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God. He's a genius. Are you aware that he's a genius?
Bill Rhodes
I didn't. I didn't know until after spring when I called his. And she was like, what? Tourette syndrome.
Red Band
It works in a barber shop now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God. This kid's gonna be the President of the United States one day. That's hilarious.
Bill Rhodes
Be the next old, white, rich, racist rapist in the White House.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God. So he would just say things that he wanted to. He would just say things that he wanted to say. Say. Yeah.
Bill Rhodes
And he pretended like it was a medical game.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And not only did he not get in trouble, but you're like, it's okay. You're all good, buddy. It's okay.
Bill Rhodes
I. I'm the dumbass that didn't call Mom.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God. Was he doing it? Did you end up talking with teachers about it, or were you too embarrassed? Were you the only one that felt. Fell for it?
Bill Rhodes
I was his advocate. I was like, I have tourism too, guys. You have to give him a chance. And he was like, let me suck on them titties.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's awesome.
Cam Patterson
Was that.
Red Band
You're the student saying that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'm honestly jealous of this kid, that I didn't think of that. When I was in middle school, I
Bill Rhodes
tried to get him. I tried to get him moved to honors.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It really is.
Bill Rhodes
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'm serious. That's a sign of intelligence.
Red Band
How were the titties, though? Be honest.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You're like, okay, they were seventh grade.
Bill Rhodes
I'm not allowed to see, right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, tell me after. You would be. You would be the most ruthless. If there was a video game of pedophiles, you would be the final boss. There's no doubt about it. It's like, oh, you got to deal with Mr. Rhodes, the Middle school teacher. Of you.
Red Band
15 years working in prison that he went to an elementary school.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You think you're going to get to my prison? Riot experience.
Bill Rhodes
Does it hurt when I touch you there?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, there you go. Look, he jumps right into it. The son of a. All right, Bill Rhodes. Fun times, my friend. You're chasing a wild dream. We're going to bleep the school system that you mentioned. Mentioned.
Bill Rhodes
That's all right now I'm trying to get fired. I need something else.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, then we will. We will leave it in.
Red Band
Just be you, man. You're on track.
Bill Rhodes
Thanks, Mom.
Tony Hinchcliffe
There you go. Thank you, guys, everybody. All right, here you go. Take one of those. Oh, no, you dropped it. Now you gotta keep it here. Oh, here, give me that one back.
Red Band

Tony Hinchcliffe
I'm just kidding. Here, Here you go. Bill Rhodes, everybody. There goes Bill Rhodes. Bill Rhodes.
Anthony Papali
There you go.
Red Band
Sorry, sorry. I got Tourette's, man. I.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Genius kid. That kid that made up the Tourette's is going to be here in 14 years. Killing at 21 years old. Mark my words. All right, make some noise. To your final bucket pull of the night. Tanner Tuttle, everybody. Tanner Tuttle. Very interesting name. Let's see what happens here. Tanner Tuttle.
Tanner Tuttle
Hey. So growing up I had druggie parents. I don't know if anyone else grew up with drug addicts or anything. It kind of gives it away though when they come to a comedy club because they don't clap like this. They clap like this, so it really, really sticks out.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So.
Tanner Tuttle
But also, like, when I was born, I was a healthy sized baby. I was £8 15 and a half ounces, right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Decent sized baby.
Tanner Tuttle
My parents still tried to fight the nurse and the doctor in that room. My mom's waving a shivering like that baby was supposed to be a full £9. Where the fuck's that other half ounce at? They're my drunkies.
Hans Kim
All right.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hell yeah.
Red Band
Yeah, Cool.
Tanner Tuttle
It's like I. I get it. Like it sounds bad, but it's like growing up, I always had a roof over my head. We had food on the table every night. We were super proper. When we would eat too. Like everything had to be in the right order. Okay. Your forks on the left, your knife and burnt spoons to the right. All right, that's my time. Thank you, guys.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. Tanner Tuttle. Hi, Tanner.
Red Band
Hello.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Where are you from?
Tanner Tuttle
Las Vegas? Originally, Cedar City, Utah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, now you live in Vegas. How long have you lived in Vegas?
Tanner Tuttle
Four years.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What do you do for work there?
Tanner Tuttle
I work at a comedy club.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, what do you do at the comedy club?
Tanner Tuttle
Manager. So just whatever they need me to do that day.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow, you manage a comedy club, right? You look like the corpse of Kurt Cobain. That's incredible. Unbelievable.
Tanner Tuttle
It just looks like anyone's welcome there.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, I guess. So what do you do for fun living in Las Vegas when you're not working?
Tanner Tuttle
Oh, man, I like, you know, go to the gym and stuff like that. I enjoy bowling a lot, playing basketball, just like little activities.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Really? Really? You do those things?
Sam Castillo
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I bet you're great at basketball, huh?
Tanner Tuttle
Master of none. I guess. Like.
Frank Awasika
Okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. You have a good like two step finger roll layup.
Tanner Tuttle
Dude, I'm More of like a rebounder. Box out again.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Dude, if I asked you to box out right now, it would end up like the boxer said he could box earlier. Slow motion, very bad form.
Tanner Tuttle
Just like that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It was worse than that.
Hans Kim
All right.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Even you had a very much higher. He had no idea that the face might be a good thing to protect in a fist fight. He's been boxing for three weeks. Anyway. Tanner Tuttle. What are you on Adderall?
Tanner Tuttle
Negative. I'm a little nervous and stuff. Just drinking tequila.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. No uppers whatsoever.
Tanner Tuttle
Negative, negative, negative.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wouldn't do it in a million fucking years. No chance at all.
Tanner Tuttle
I mean, you heard about my parents? Nah. I've watched them be druggies. I was like, nah, I ain't doing that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right. That makes sense.
Red Band
Not doing drugs. Booze is my thing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right.
Red Band
That's your thought.
Tanner Tuttle
Booze and weed.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Booze. Even if it's from the audience, it doesn't matter. How long you been doing stand up?
Tanner Tuttle
Five years.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Five years? Yeah. Wow. And you love it?
Tanner Tuttle
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, absolutely. And you don't want to say the club in Vegas that you're the manager of?
Tanner Tuttle
I enjoy it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Would it. Would it. Would it hurt you or help you to say it?
Tanner Tuttle
That. I don't know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like, let's skip it then. All right. Tell us something interesting about your life that we'd be surprised to know, other than your parents were drug addicts.
Tanner Tuttle
I did. I bought a house when I was 21.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How did you do that?
Tanner Tuttle
Dude, I have no idea. Honestly, I was in 2011. I just needed to buy a house. I was tired of paying rent, so I was like, yo, can I buy this house? And they were like, yeah, your credit score is good enough. So I bought a house on my own at 21.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What was the down payment?
Tanner Tuttle
None.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What was the monthly payment?
Tanner Tuttle
Oh, dude, 540, if that. A month. So this was 2011, the market crash. I paid 70 grand for the house.
Tony Hinchcliffe
House, wow.
Red Band
How old were you when you lost? Lost the house.
Tanner Tuttle
That's why I moved to Vegas. No, I actually just sold it this past summer, so.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. How much did you sell it for?
Tanner Tuttle
Like, 180, 190. Because it was to my friend. So I, like, was like, you're helping me out. Help me. Like, let's.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's great.
Tanner Tuttle
Do a little deal and stuff. So I ended up profiting, like, I think, like, 35, 40K or something like that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Unbelievable.
Tanner Tuttle
So like, now it's like, I want to take that money and travel and do comedy. More places than just Vegas. And that Kind of stuff, right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Did you look homeless before you sold the house?
William Montgomery
Yep.
Sam Castillo
Okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
100% incredible.
Tanner Tuttle
So I did this because, like, I, like, grew the beard, and everyone's like,
Tony Hinchcliffe
yeah, you look good.
Tanner Tuttle
I'm like, I look good looking trashy. And they're like, yes, man. I'm like, okay, if everyone else seems to like it, I'll keep it going.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I don't like it. You want to know what you look like before, though? Maybe we could shave half and then do a side by side. All right. Anything else crazy we should know about you before we let you go? Tanner Tuttle.
Tanner Tuttle
I did the. I did the Naked Roasted Skank fest the past two years and stuff like that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What did people say about your. About your junk on the naked roast?
Tanner Tuttle
From what I heard from everyone else, I was the biggest one.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. That's what I heard. God works in mysterious ways. I bet it was. My guess is it was mostly pew.
Tanner Tuttle
Yeah, no, I. I cleaned up for it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
Tanner Tuttle
I cleaned up for it. Trust me.
Anthony Papali
I.
Tanner Tuttle
Then this past year, everyone was like, he was the only one that looked trim. And I'm like, okay, why is everyone looking.
Hans Kim
But.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right. Naked Rose. Right. All right, Tanner Tuttle. Well, thank you very much for coming on. Here's one of these. We gotta keep it moving. We're running into overtime. Only one person left for this. Only one person can do the job that needs to be done in this very moment. Kill Tony. Hall of Famer. One of the legends of the game. The Parliament of Portland. The Memphis Strangler. The Tijuana Tarantula. The Harlem Globetrotter. The Bronx Bomber. The Geriatric Juggler. The Vanilla Gorilla. The Big Red Machine. This is indeed the one and the only William Montgomery.
William Montgomery
Southwest Airlines is giving free extra seats to fat people who can't fit in a regular seat. If you're so morbidly obese that your fat ass can't fit in a Seagull airline seat, you don't need to be getting on an airplane. You need to be getting on a Stairmaster
Tony Hinchcliffe
with your fat ass.
William Montgomery
But seriously, you don't need to be getting on an airplane. I'm sure there's a Cheesecake factory within driving distance of your house, fat ass. Apparently, Matthew Perry died because he ate too much ketamine. Shit, I ain't ever gonna eat another carrot. Last week in Ukraine, a man walked into a meeting room with 100 people, pulled the pin on three grenades, and rolled them into the crowd, killing everyone. Only person I've seen bomb worse than that is Red Band during his standup,
Tony Hinchcliffe
he killed 100 people, dumbass. That's a botch.
William Montgomery
Okay, that's my time. Thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
One minute, 18 seconds from the great red God. William Montgomery. Very fun. William, the. The extra seats on an airplane StairMaster.
William Montgomery
That's what messed. Honestly, if you're fat, though, don't get on the StairMaster. That's what destroyed my sciatic nerve.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Is that true?
Justin Landers
Yeah.
William Montgomery
That's why I had to stop working out. I haven't worked out in probably eight months. I'm starting to get. Get numb in my arm. Who was laughing at that? Yeah, no, it's been eight months. I need to.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Good job, Thomas.
William Montgomery
But I need to start working out again.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Did somebody tell you that not working out would help you with your sciatic nerve?
William Montgomery
No, it just was hurting so bad. I mean, I have to sleep on my stomach at night. If I sleep on my back, which my sciatic nerve is hurting at, that gives me sleep paralysis. I have to sleep on my tummy at night.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Can you explain to us what happens when a guy like William Montgomery gets sleep paralysis? Step by step? Go right ahead and take us through it. So you're sleeping. You're laying on your back. Where do you normally keep your hands when you're sleeping? On your backslide?
William Montgomery
No, just by my sides, kinda. Yeah, on either side.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And then what happens? Oh, yeah, frightening. Like, go ahead. Frightening.
Red Band
Yeah.
William Montgomery
No, but I'm laying on my back and I just kind of wake up and something is wrong because I cannot move anything. And I'm just opening up my eyes and I just see this, like, thing in front of me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Can you describe the thing?
William Montgomery
It's like, remember the Creature from the Black Lagoon?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Who could forget that?
William Montgomery
It looks like the creature from the Black Lagoon. No, I can't even really describe what it does. It's literally just a shadow figure. Oh, great job, dumbass. I'm having the fucking set of my
Tony Hinchcliffe
life up here right now. Holy shit.
William Montgomery
What I was just saying was about
Tanner Tuttle
to really take off.
William Montgomery
Dumbass. That's all your fault.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh. Oh, he's. He's pointing at the lady. And next to him, the guy. Wow. They're all throwing that poor lady under the bus. But I think it was the guy on the. Oh. Oh, okay. They're just some drunk Texas people.
Hans Kim
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, dude. All right, so, William, back at it. Ketamine, carrots. Love it. Hoodie, who from the get. Absolutely love it. Hooty who?
William Montgomery
I was doing a bunch of that and in Chicago. I was there this past weekend. And if A joke didn't land, which was, I don't know, 75% of them. It really wasn't a good percentage for me. This past weekend I would just do a Hootie Hoo and everybody would respond and it really would really help me out moving forward. So, yeah, I was at like 75%, just bombing just nobody, which really was kind of messed up my pride a little bit. I was thinking I was making some strides with this whole stand up thing and I swear to God, I only like 25% of the shit I'm saying.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Can you do one of the jokes that didn't go so well for you? Can you give us an example of one of the jokes that were bombing during your headlining set? 7 sold out shows at a 75% bomb ratio. It was very interesting.
William Montgomery
So one of them that I thought was gonna go well was. So I got high the other day and thought blood was coming out of my ears.
Red Band
It was.
Tony Hinchcliffe
These people seem to love that. It's not a fully formed joke at all.
Red Band
All.
Tony Hinchcliffe
But your fans love that. That didn't go well in Chicago. Let me ask you this. Could you hear a paper cup fall during your show in Chicago like we heard here tonight?
William Montgomery
No, I couldn't. I haven't been around people that rude before. I mean, that's so rude.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I mean, come on.
William Montgomery
It's literally my five year anniversary tonight for being a regular on this show.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That is true. So you that up, sir? Sir. Five fucking years of this shit, sir, and you fuck it up. How do you feel, sir? You okay knowing that you ruined his five year anniversary of being on the show? Really? Wow. Are you a fan of the show? Do you know where you're at? Did you sign up? No. Right? You're thinking about it. You think you have anything you could possibly do that would be funny? If I told. If I told you to come up here, you think you could do something funny? What's your name? What's your name, sir? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't come over here. What's your name? Carter. What? Carter Shankle. I don't believe you. But. Okay, okay, forget it. Carter, Sit back down. Creepazoid. This guy's gonna come up here just to molest me. I'm not having it. Yeah, Carter Shank. Yeah, dude. What time did you start drinking today, Carter? As soon as I got to your show. Right. Okay. What did you have tonight?
Red Band
Cheetos and soda.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How many? At least five. There you go. The lady next to you was guessing five the entire time Five an hour.
Red Band
That's healthy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's. Yeah, it's what America's bred on.
Red Band
Heir to the Shadow Shanko fortune right there. Shankles, man.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Absolutely.
Red Band
You know the Shanklins? Fuck, yeah.
William Montgomery
Yeah, the Shanklins.
Red Band
Tennis, bowling, Vomit.
Tony Hinchcliffe
William, what else is going on in your life? You do any puzzles or anything lately?
William Montgomery
Yeah, I started a brand new one. It's a hammock scene in a. In, like, a snowy meadow, I think in Switzerland. But there's a hammock setup between two big old pine trees. There's birds on the pine trees.
Tony Hinchcliffe
There's.
William Montgomery
There's Frisbees caught up in the trees. It's. There's running shoes. A bunch of different colored pairs of running shoes at the base of both of the trees. So that's been a real hard part of the puzzle, Tony, just figuring out which tree the running shoes are underneath, because they're two pretty similar looking, pretty giant trees. And then this freaking. This hammock in between the trees. I mean, when you're dealing with a rope and stuff in a puzzle, it's so incredibly difficult. I swear to God, Tony, I'll be looking at the fucking pieces in front of me for like, five or six hours before I even touch one. It's literally. This was taking me forever. I'm scared to touch the pieces.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
William Montgomery
Wow.
Red Band
Soothing, man. Listening to you talk, I just. I miss Shanko.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, Old Carter Shankel over there. All right, you want to do a joke, Carter Shankel? What do you think, William? What do you think about this, William? I'm gonna let you decide because you're fucking in control right now. It's your time. No, we know you're not a comedian with pre pan jokes, you fucking drunk idiot. I wanted to see how stupid you could make yourself look up here.
William Montgomery
Yeah, get your ass up here, Mr. Shanklin.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Carter Shanklin, everybody. Oh, shit. Oh. Oh. He's taking the shortest. Oh, my God. He took the drunk path. He took the old drunk staircase of the sky right there.
Red Band
Very red.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Carter Shanklin, ladies and gentlemen. I like that. Come on, make noise for Carter, everybody. All right, Carter, do something. Put the mic right up to your mouth. Look out there and say something funny. Look out there and do it, and
William Montgomery
I'll act like I'm your arm. Arms?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, hold the microphone, William. William, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me help you guys. Or else he's gonna have three arms. Let William hold the microphone. Okay, Put your arms behind your back. Okay, here we go. Okay. All right, ladies, and gentlemen, make some noise for Carter Shanklet with William Montgomery Arms. For the first time in the history of this round, we're up for an Emmy, by the way. Make sure you.
Red Band
Geez, I didn't even have to say wait.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Make sure you wave to the people, Carter. Wave to the people. Okay. No, Carter.
Anthony Papali
No, no, no.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Sorry, sorry. This is. This. This is how they should give DUI tests. All right, Sorry. For this next one, I'm gonna put my arm. I need you to put your arms behind your back. I'm gonna be your arms. How many fingers is he holding up, Carter? Looks like two.
Red Band
The question is, where are the other fingers?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
William Montgomery
Well, your fingers are on my dick, dude.
Tanner Tuttle
Holy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wait a second. Where'd that second head come from? Wait, go back. Go back. Go back? Yeah, go back to them, Kino. Do you say something funny to the people, Carter? Well, the guy behind me is the
Anthony Papali
one that's controlling us all.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Nah, no, he's just your arms, dude. What are you talking about? The guy behind me has taken over power of my brain. He's certainly taken over a few things. Oh, Carter, look at you, the natural. Why are you doing that weird thing with your left arm, Carter? Well, close that, please. Whoa, whoa. All right, this is getting weird. William, do something with your left ar. If you're gonna do it, you have to, like, do it. You're not supposed to leave your arms. Oh, it's got all sorts. Try to react to what he's doing with his arms, Carter. I. I. Well, geez. Hold on a minute.
Red Band
I'm almost there.
William Montgomery
Okay, that was a horrible idea.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I liked it. No, it was great. That was great.
Red Band
Was very funny.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, Carter, Mercedes is going to help you down. How about a hand for the great and powerful Mercedes, everybody? She's got you, buddy. Don't try anything stupid, Carter. Oh, my God. Oh, Jesus. Did you guys feel that? You know he's drunk when you make that. The whole ground shook there, Carter.
Red Band
Scared the out of me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, yeah, he's got.
Red Band
