Tony Hinchcliffe
Hey, this. It's Rare man coming to you live from Vulcan Gas Company here in Austin,
Joe DeRosa
Texas, for a brand new episode of
Tony Hinchcliffe
Kill Toy Gambret Pony. Let's go. Who's ready for the best fucking night of their lives tonight, huh? Brian Ray Ban and the best damn band in the land. Ladies and gentlemen, am I correct? Indeed. That is Michael Gonzalez on the drums. Raul Vallejo. Fernando Castillo. Carlos Sosa, Huevos Rancheros. This is Matt Muhling right here behind me on the electric. This is John Dees on the keys. And believe it or not, ladies and gentlemen, that is D Madness. That's the first time I've ever gotten to use the blind stick before. That's very exciting. This is Kill Tony, brought to you by Shopify, Nicked and OpenPhone. You're at the number one live podcast in the world. Some people, including YouTube and Netflix, are saying we're the new number one comedy show in the world. Everybody right here in Austin, Texas, where it all started in Austin. Vulcan Gas Company. Not a lot of people know this, but we came straight here during the pandemic. We didn't go anywhere else in Austin. We support no other clubs other than, of course, our new home of the comedy mothership. And we decided why not do some fun throwback episodes in the grungy fucking. One of the just the dirtiest sixth street clubs that there is. We're back at Vulcan Gas Company and you are here. Those of you lucky enough to get tickets within the first four minutes of them being on sale, we're gonna have fun tonight. Before we get started, here's a little bit more from the amazing sponsors that made it all possible. Are you guys ready to start tonight's show? You know, every single week, I book two or one sometimes of the funniest people in the world. This is a two person show. And because we're at Vulcan and because this is just grungy, true Austin, Texas feel, to me, it's not brand new. It's smoky, it's leaky. This building is very leaky. And it just reminds me of a random ass fun night in Austin. So I invited not only two of the best comedians in the world, but two of my favorite Austinites to two of my favorite drinking buddies. Two of the best comedians in the world working today.
Michael Gonzalez
Indeed.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Make some noise for Joe Derosa and Ari Matty, the Estonian assassin and the dirty pig, Joe Derosa. Vile, horrendous Estonian assassin. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Live in the flesh, Ari Matti.
Ari Matti
Here we go.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Here we go.
David Lucas
Here we go.
Ari Matti
How are we doing?
David Lucas
Okay,
Zach Black
thank God.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Ari's the man. This is the dirt ball pig himself, Joe Derosa, the king pig.
Joe DeRosa
How are you, buddy?
Tony Hinchcliffe
We're having fun tonight.
Joe DeRosa
I'm so excited to be back here. The first time I ever did kill Tony and Austin, it was at the Vulcan and it's been at the mothership ever since. But it's so fucking cool to be back here at this place.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's a vibe, Ari. You got to perform here.
Ari Matti
Never.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Really?
Ari Matti
Never.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You were post mothership.
Ari Matti
Post mothership.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. Amazing.
Ari Matti
Amazing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We did it.
Zach Black
This is where you did it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Episodes. Oh, Red band's tits are shaking. What's going on? What are you laughing at? Over here? Okay, Fun, fun, fun.
Joe DeRosa
Sorry, I was trying to get a look at his tits.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, they are some sweet.
Joe DeRosa
They are good tits.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Thick and hearty old turkey breasts over here. All right, you guys know how the show works? About a 200 or so comedians make some noise real quick. Wait, you guys are all comedians? That's psychotic. You guys don't take direction very well, but I like your energy. They're back there. That's the point. There's a couple hundred comedians smashed over on the other side of the room. The overflows at a bar next door. It's all chaos. If I pull one of their names out of the bucket, they get 60 seconds uninterrupted. You know, their time is up and you hear the sound of a kitten. That means they have to wrap it up then or else they bring out the angry West Hollywood bear, which loudly interrupts their set. And then I conduct an interview and we talk shit and figure out more about them. They go through an entire interview process, and yeah, that's the gist of it. But to start tonight's show, ladies and gentlemen, how many of you are fans of Kill Tony? How many of you are here because you had rich parents and you live in Austin? You want to be part of the coolest thing in town? Okay, that was good. Nobody failed that test. Well, the fans of the show, you're in For a very special treat, this man is a kill Tony hall of famer to start the show tonight. He's one of the most powerful regulars in the history of the show. Ladies and gentlemen, Roast God makes a noise for the one and only David Lucas, everybody. Oh, my God. The show starting with David Lucas. Yeah.
David Lucas
Yeah. I feel like I was born in the wrong generation. I feel like I should have been 30, like, in the 80s or the 70s, because, like, girls in 2025 are too freaky for me. Like, I hate this squirting shit. I don't like it. It's like, do you think bitches were squirting during slavery? They couldn't. They were too dehydrated, you know? I don't know when this squirting shit became popular, bro. I think squirting came out with ugg boots, you know what I'm saying? You hoes started wearing uggs and started pissing everywhere. It's weird. It's always weird when you fuck a girl and she squirt, she's like, oh, my God, I just squirted. It's like, bitch, you didn't squirt. You just fucked my mattress up. Bitches, this is a purple mattress, ho. I gotta throw this shit out now. But, ladies, if you do have to squirt, which we know by now is pee, we just have one request. Just please hydrate. You know what I'm saying? Drink some fucking water, because don't nobody want that mimosa ass piss. You hoes be having that shit. Be strong as hell. Like mixing Clorox with Fabuloso.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I gotta.
David Lucas
I gotta wear goggles to eat your pussy, bitch. All right, that's it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Thank you, David Lucas.
David Lucas
Yeah, I just look at this gay nigga and start laughing.
Joe DeRosa
Who, me, nigga?
David Lucas
Your head too big to be gay,
Joe DeRosa
David, don't you find that the squirt dilutes the barbecue sauce stains that are already on the mattress? I mean, she's doing you a favor, Joe Derosa.
David Lucas
Big head bitch. When you eat a bitch out, your forehead gonna be giving her tongue kisses.
Joe DeRosa
You have so many food packages delivered to your house, they had to change the name of the app to Post Office Mates.
David Lucas
You look like you got a football helmet on, nigga. Shut the fuck up. Fucking New York jets helmet wearing motherfucker. You got a big ass head, nigga. You if you head but a nigga, you going to jail for murder.
Joe DeRosa
I thought they discontinued chocolate Twizzlers. You have them on your head right now.
David Lucas
Jesus Christ, bro. I hate to See, you put on a fucking motorcycle helmet, nigga. God damn. How would you be an astronaut? That's.
Joe DeRosa
I don't know.
David Lucas
I just want to shoot you in it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
David Lucas.
David Lucas
What's up?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Talking about making girls squirt. Is that a thing that you do? Can you do that? Yeah, how do you. How do you do that? What? Are you sure it's not your sweat that's there? The end of a session.
David Lucas
You the only nigga that can squirt. Get the fuck out of here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. Wow.
David Lucas

Ari Matti
No, hit us with the rider.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Two rotisserie chicken.
Ari Matti
Oh, dude.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Three packs of watermelon kool Aid.
Joe DeRosa
The producers are like, this is not an easy rider.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It literally just looks like a list of stereotypes. One CD burner.
Joe DeRosa
This guy's got one hell of a chicken bucket list.
Tony Hinchcliffe
One fire detector with no batteries.
David Lucas
Hey, man, you. You gonna ask for avocado size? Ibuprofen. Big head.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Three job applications. Tony, a probation officer live in the flesh. David Lucas's rider, everybody. That's what's waiting for you in green rooms. If you guys.
David Lucas

Tony Hinchcliffe
You son of a bitch. How dare you? Son of a bitch. We're having fun here. David, you are the greatest person to get a show started. You are so much fun. Anything else you want to say to this audience? What do you say to these people?
David Lucas
Nah, y' all know where to find me at. David.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Look at this Indian guy with a backwards hat trying to.
David Lucas
That's an Indian. That nigga black as hell. That look like a character on Mortal Kombat. You can't unlock. That black as boy. What the. He really put the end in Indian.
Tony Hinchcliffe
God damn. That is why I know, because you Indian for real. You ain't a nigga.
David Lucas
God damn, bro.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's why I know, because I was looking. I'm like, oh, thank God we have a cool black. Ah, it's a. It's a tech guy from San Francisco. Am I right? You work in tech. You grew up here, but you work. You work in tech. Yes, of course. Of course I do. I'm from Austin. Don't ever say you're from. You got tech, but. Right. But you go again, I swear To God. I'm from Texas. I have multiple guns. 9 millimeter.
David Lucas
He is a black.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He blackest shit he is. This is the darkest Indian I've ever seen in my life.
David Lucas
You could see his red dot if he had one.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, looks like slum doggy dog.
David Lucas
He working at 7:11 and still out of the cash register.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He looks like he'd fly an airplane into a kfc.
David Lucas
If he tried to fly one, it'd run out of gas before he hit a building.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And he definitely wouldn't have insurance on his airplane.
David Lucas
No seat belts on his plane. Well, your ass be holding on like
Tony Hinchcliffe
you riding the train, but two 12 inch subwoofers for some reason in the cockpit. All right, David Lucas, you're the man. You got it started. Here we go. It's on Kill Tony. Live from Vulcan Gas Company, that's the Kil Tony hall of Famer right there starting the show. David Lucas, one of four members of the hall of fame. All right, this is your first bucket pool tonight. This is where anything can happen. Maybe it's a local top rising young comedian. Maybe it's someone that's been trying for years to get on this show. Maybe it's a completely insane person. Anything can happen. This is 60 seconds uninterrupted from Taylor Neely, everybody. Taylor Neely is starting the bucket portion of the show. Here we go. Make some noise one more time for Taylor Neely, everyone.
Taylor Neely
I recently. I recently found out I'm 2% Italian, so I have been hitting my girlfriend. I got some bad news today. My veterinarian called and told me my dog is sick. Like he's really.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Shut up.
Taylor Neely
Yeah, he's really fucking sick. Like he can't stop riding skateboards and smoking cigarettes. My dog is sick, dude. Are you guys afraid of artificial intelligence? Yeah, I'm not. But I have smoked crack cocaine with the homeless and that is something chatgpt cannot do. After this. Actually, I'm going to order a Waymo and have it drive me off a bridge the other day. You ever see someone in the front seat of a Waymo? It looks like they're having their imaginary friend drive the car. The other day I saw a homeless person washing the windshield on a Waymo. It's a driverless car. Also, there was no one in that car. It was a personless car. Thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, Taylor Neely, you've been on this show before, correct?
Mushroom Mat
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Welcome back. How long has it been?
Taylor Neely
October.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Do you sign up every week?
Taylor Neely
Pretty much.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. How long have you been on Stand up.
Taylor Neely
A little over four years.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Four years. All of it here in Austin?
Taylor Neely
No, in Atlanta before this.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. How long have you been here?
Taylor Neely
Since August.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Since August. Okay. All right. How's this different than Atlanta? Tell the people around the world how Austin's different than Atlanta.
Taylor Neely
Let's all say it together. Less black. That's true. That's true. It's a true thing.
Hans Kim
I'm not making that up.
Taylor Neely
It's not racist. It's just a true thing.
Joe DeRosa
I want to give an honest critique of your set. I thought when you stopped trying to be shocking, which you were trying to do at the beginning, and when you stopped saying things that were obviously fake about your dog playing Xbox, whatever the fuck that was. When you started to actually say real things, you saw, you started getting big laughs, man. Stick to that shit. Stick to the real shit, dude.
Taylor Neely
Yeah, well, I wanted to. Last time I was here.
Zach Black
I did.
Taylor Neely
I did, like, audience call and response stuff. And Tony, you didn't like that as much, so I wanted to just.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Neither did the crowd or the viewers at home. I like that you're putting it on me. Well, nobody liked it. It's not like I have some irrational viewpoint.
Ari Matti
You almost went into the crowd during your set, too. You almost went off.
Taylor Neely
Someone was talking.
Joe DeRosa
Yeah, yeah, we noticed when you said, shut the fuck up. Yeah, we were aware.
Taylor Neely
Yeah, but I just. I just wanted to do a bunch of jokes back to back is what I wanted to do. That was my plan, and I did that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, well, you did your plan jokes back to back. Next time, do good ones. What do you do for work?
Taylor Neely
Handyman.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You're a handyman. You have huge forearms. I'm noticing you have Popeye like forearms.
Taylor Neely
I. I did wrestle from first grade to senior of high school.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Taylor Neely
In Ohio.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. So you're originally from Ohio?
Taylor Neely
Yes, Columbus.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Taylor Neely
I was just outside Youngstown, actually.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What were you doing outside in Youngstown?
Taylor Neely
I was visiting my friend who lives in Boardman. Nothing cool. Just visiting my friend.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's where the rich kids are from.
Taylor Neely
Is that true? It seemed like a nice area, because I know some areas aren't.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, Youngstowns. Boardman's a township outside. The people say when they move to other cities, they go, I'm from Youngstown. And I can always tell. I go, boardman. Yeah, because they look normal and human, like they had parents and water as a kid. Yeah, it's a whole thing. People from Youngstown get it. Don't worry about it. Not the victim. What do you do for fun, Taylor?
Taylor Neely
For fun I golf. I love to golf, go to the gym. I'm sober, so I have to not drink.
Ari Matti
Why are you sober?
Taylor Neely
Because I'm an alcoholic and a drug.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What happened?
Taylor Neely
I'll smoke. Yeah, I'll smoke crack cocaine immediately.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Really?
Ari Matti
You've smoked crack cocaine?
Tony Hinchcliffe
What was bottom? What was bottom?
Joe DeRosa
Bottom there's lower than crack cocaine.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, but I want to know the bottom. The worst thing that. No, I'm not saying drugs. Worse. I want to know what's going on. The most regretful night of crack you've ever done. The world wants to know. And now he answers the question.
Taylor Neely
Well, since I've been to Austin, I've been to the psych ward twice, so.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Turns out bottom is in the basement.
Joe DeRosa
Why are you not talking about that in your act? That's. That's the you got to do instead of your dogs riding a skateboard around town. Thought you were in a goddamn psych ward.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, turns out your dog's healthier than you are. Tell us about the psych ward.
Taylor Neely
Yeah, well, I was on the regular floor, like for sad people.
Joe DeRosa
The regular floor.
Taylor Neely
Oh, yeah, the floor. The regular sad people floor. In the floor above are like, the real crazy people. We went into this, like, gymnasium one day, and there was this guy, just like some people you see out on 6th Street. Like, legitimately crazy people. And he started yelling about Joe Biden and saying this was Joe Biden's fault and just.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, that guy's right. He's not that crazy. That guy sounds like a genius to me. That's the same shit I was saying. And I wasn't in the psych ward at all.
Joe DeRosa
I love, though. I love that no matter how low of a bottom somebody hits, they always think there's somebody worse, right? So he's in a psych ward and they're like, no, no, no. The really crazy people are up there. No, no, no. You're on the normal crazy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You're showing signs of improvement. You're doing good. Stick with us here. Your program's almost up. Those guys are going to be here forever. Those ones that are right about modern day politics. Okay, Taylor, give us one more crazy fun fact about you.
Taylor Neely
One more crazy fun fact about me? Oh, Guy Fieri paid me $1,000 one time.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, let's go back, actually. So when you say you've been to the psych ward here twice, was that immediately after, like, crazy crack benders?
Taylor Neely
No, just. It was alcohol withdrawal and I said I was going to kill myself.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, what floor is that?
Ari Matti
Regular.
Mushroom Mat
How?
Taylor Neely
What?
Ari Matti
Kill Yourself is first floor or second or third?
Taylor Neely
Second floor. Third floor is.
Ari Matti
What's third? That's what.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's what I want to go real crazy.
Taylor Neely
Second is just sad alcoholics and one is administrative, I guess.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How close did you come to actually killing yourself, do you think?
Taylor Neely
I don't know. When you get alcohol withdrawal, DTS are pretty rough and you're shaking and seeing bugs out of the corner your eye and it sucks a lot. And I had like guns out in my apartment and my friend came over and then he called the police. It was more for a cry of help. I don't know if I would have
Tony Hinchcliffe
done it, but how much were you drinking right before then to have those types of withdrawals?
Taylor Neely
Oh, this is the most pussy shit ever. I drank twisted teas for like 24 hours a day.
Tony Hinchcliffe
24 hours a day.
Ari Matti
Such a funny alcoholic. Put them on the teas, dog.
Joe DeRosa
Put him on the first floor. He's not crazy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He's just a.
Ari Matti
Suicidal over a te
Tony Hinchcliffe
the out of here. A somebody have too much tea.
Taylor Neely
Too much tea.
Ari Matti
Crack and twisted tea.
Hans Kim
I love it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh my God. Turns out I have all the tea 24 hours of day. It's twisted. Holy man. So 24 hours a day. Let's talk about the amount. Let's talk about a measurable like amount. Are we talking tall cans?
Taylor Neely
I don't know. Because I think once you go through DTs the first time, your body goes to it quicker the second time. And it's just 30 to 5012 ounce cans a day.
Ari Matti
That's a lot of sugar.
Taylor Neely
Is that a lot? Yeah, no, yeah, it's also the.
Ari Matti
That's a lot of sugar, bro.
Joe DeRosa
I think David Lucas has your same addiction.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, he does the non alcoholic twisted tea. Hey, yo, give me 30, 50 cans of that. All right, Taylor, So that's crazy.
Joe DeRosa
That's wild.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What would you do in these states of mind? 30, 50 twisted TE's in.
Taylor Neely
Oh, watch college football and watch, watch, watch Bob does sports on YouTube. Watch YouTube videos and pass out and come to watching long form golf videos.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
Taylor Neely
I went to the psych ward the when Ohio State played Oregon. I passed out halfway through that game. And then I went to the psych ward that night.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, that was a rough game.
Taylor Neely
Hey, but guess who won it all. Tony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We got him back, buddy. Oh, all right, my friend. Congratulations. Fun times. Interesting, interesting stuff. I agree with Joe. Rough start, but at the end you picked it up. Talk about your crazy life, dude. People will find you more interesting. You come across as a sober Jesse Pinkman. You gotta get into the good. Give us that good. You guys having fun yet? You. Oh, my God, it's Heidi. Holy. Holy shit. All right, all right. Make some noise for your next bucket pool. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Aaron West. Aaron West. How many you like it when comedians do good on this show? How many of you like it when comedians do bad on this show? All right, well, we'll see what happens here. Aaron West. Okay, here we go. Any second. She's coming from the east. Here he is. Make some noise one more time for Aaron West.
Aaron West
Well, howdy, howdy, howdy, y'.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All. Welcome to a little place I like to call Texas.
Aaron West
No, I've never been here before. Never been to this building. So tonight I was a little bit confused. You see, I was turning the corner and I saw an ocean of homeless people and a giant ass line to the front door. And I thought, well, damn, that place must have some pretty good soup.
Mushroom Mat
You see, you know, it's a good
Aaron West
soup kitchen when people with shoes start lining up. Didn't know whether to get the hobo bisque or the cream of Vagrant. Same suit, but a little more, you know, floaters. Now, folks, today I saw a sports car. I know what you're thinking, fellas.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Sports car. Oh, yeah.
Aaron West
This is a Dodge Challenger.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Easy Bubba.
Aaron West
And it had a decal on it
Michael Gonzalez
that said scat Pack.
Aaron West
Now, call me old fashioned, but isn't pack and scat just a fancy term for butt sex? This is my impersonation of a Hispanic man working at a Burger King moments after Dolly Parton walks out.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, top button.
Aaron West
You see her? She had some Impossible Whoppers. That's it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. Aaron West, I like your style, man. You're a silly goose. I'm a little out there. Yeah, I like it. How long you been doing stand up?
Aaron West
On and off. But mainly off for about 10 years.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Hell, yeah.
Joe DeRosa
Why off? Why are you stopping?
Aaron West
I like to drink new cocaine a lot more than I like to sit down and write.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
Aaron West
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Amazing. Not anymore. Let's talk a little bit more about this here.
Aaron West
It's a common theme.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. So what's your lowest point?
Aaron West
Yeah, I mean, similar. You know, you get to a point where.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Second floor. Oh, oh, I'm at the basement.
Aaron West
Third floor, I'm at the basement with a shovel.
Joe DeRosa
No.
Aaron West
Probably the last day I drank.
Michael Gonzalez
Oh,
Aaron West
the last day I drank, folks, it was like any other day,
Uncle Laser
except
Aaron West
for I wasn't as drunk as I wanted to be. I was too drunk. And the next day I woke up with a tattoo of a lobster with boobs on my arm.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And that's when I knew.
Aaron West
Put the cap on the bottle and put it in the basement, man. And that's where I was heading. Basement with a shovel.
Mushroom Mat
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You fit in just right around here. What do you do for work?
Aaron West
I work at a restaurant.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You're a waiter? Yeah. Yeah.
Ari Matti
How.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How old are you?
Aaron West
35.
Tony Hinchcliffe
35. Okay. What do you do for fun?
Aaron West
Well, I. I write a lot. I make little wacky videos.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Uh huh.
Aaron West
They're called Beef Squeaks.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Beef Squeaks? Explain to us what those are.
Aaron West
It's like a one man show I write on my. It's me doing multiple characters kind of like this, but a little more zany.
Joe DeRosa
Yeah, it gets zanier.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It does, okay.
Aaron West
Yeah, it really does. When it's just me and a camera. Lock the doors.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That is the perfect word to describe him is zany. He's extremely zany. Speaking of which, Joe DeRosa's performing at Zany's in Nashville June 27th and 28th.
Joe DeRosa
That was very nice. Thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Thank you. Because he's also zany.
Joe DeRosa
I am zany. I hope to see you all there. I enjoy your zaniness. I think if you figure out a way to be a little more organic with the mugging stuff, you know, that stuff. I feel like if you figure out a way to organically weave that in a little bit more, it's gonna be a really strong suit for you. But I thought your jokes were really funny. Man. That soup joke is really fucking funny.
Aaron West
Appreciate it.
Joe DeRosa
Yeah, seriously.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Are you married?
Aaron West
No, it's. I wear this for sobriety. It's like a promise to myself.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Wow.
Aaron West
I meant to leave it in my pocket, but they were wanding me down and I put it on my finger.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Incredible. How long have you had that sobriety ring on your finger?
Aaron West
So I guess I was serious about sobriety once. I hit a year and I'm four and a half years now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Nice.
Zach Black
Thanks.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Very good.
J.P. Hinsdale
It's.
Ari Matti
It's.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's really wild. Really sober.
Aaron West
Like I'm. It's really wild. I've never done comedy sober.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Interesting. You mean. You mean till 10?
Aaron West
Yes. I hadn't done comedy in about seven, eight years.
Tony Hinchcliffe
This is your first time doing it in seven and doing it sober? Yes.
Zach Black
Incredible. Wow.
J.P. Hinsdale
Hey.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Amazing. A lot of people, when they get sober from a crippling addiction, they fill their lives with another addiction. What do you think that addiction is? Since you haven't done standup since then, it must be something Else. Is it women rollerblading? What is it?
Aaron West
Or if they're walking. No, I like. I like. I collect artwork. Paintings. I have a lot of, like, a crazy amount of paintings. It's, like, kind of disgusting.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Whoa. Wow. Some gold diggers right up there.
Aaron West
I mean, floor to ceiling. My place is. Is like, you know the, like, Etsy Gallery walls, Like, every single wall is covered. It's. It's kind of like people walk into my place and they're like, set back a little bit. It's a tiny little apartment in a nicer area, but it's super cheap. I tell people it's like it's a forgotten apartment complex because all these, like, mansions were built around it. And they were like, well, the pool boy has to live somewhere. And, like, those are our fucking apartments.
Joe DeRosa
Like, what are the paintings of?
Aaron West
I mainly. I personally love paintings of, like, 18th century. Like, kind of like Mr. Burns. Like, creepy men. Like, that's like, what I have.
Ari Matti
You look like a creepy Mr. Burns.
Tony Hinchcliffe
A young Mr. Burns.
Aaron West
That is spy mirrors.
Joe DeRosa
That's why people get creeped out. Every painting in your house looks like a painting you cut the eyes out of to spy on people.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's a lot of people that look like you.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Maybe there's a young, unsuccessful David Copperfield in there. Oh, yeah.
Ari Matti
Are you Greek?
Aaron West
Am I what?
J.P. Hinsdale
Are you Greek?
Aaron West
No.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Latino. Right.
Joe DeRosa
You're into Latino fashion, I see.
Aaron West
Well, thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He did that as a joke earlier. Red band. That was a thing. Remember? He did it?
Aaron West
No, I'm German and German and Cherokee.
Tony Hinchcliffe
German and what?
Aaron West
And chef.
Ari Matti
The happened there?
Aaron West
I. I don't know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, we hate party with them.
Aaron West
Yeah. I don't know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. All right, Aaron. Fun times, buddy. I liked your set. Here's a big joke book. Aaron West. On to the next one we got.
Joe DeRosa
Fascinating, man. Keep doing it.
Ari Matti
Start doing after seven years.
Joe DeRosa
That's.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hell, yeah. There he goes. Aaron west, everybody. Fun times. That's your kind of guy. He's a real hipster. He's got paintings on his wall. You're. Joe Derosa is a hip guy.
Joe DeRosa
I feel like if I got sober, I would act like that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You would, which is why I keep drinking. What's up, everybody? Whoa.
Joe DeRosa
Yeah, thanks for having me, Tony. I'll be at Zany's.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, your next bucket poll goes by the name of Cynthia Brazil, everybody. Cynthia Brazil. Here she is. One more time for Cynthia, everyone.
Cynthia Brazil
Ladies, I am thick and tired. Now. I'm not gonna beat around the bush because I am Brazilian. We don't do Bush. But as a woman, in order to savor 2 ounces of sausage, I have to put up with a 200 pound pig. And I don't hate men. I shave my armpits. But for example, if girls fuck boys, they're called sluts. If men do the exact same, they win an island. I'm not talking about Jeff Epstein. I'm talking about Boy Island. Not the TV show, the Vatican. Hallelujah. That's my time.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, Cynthia. Brazil. Man. What's crazy about that set is that the fuckboy island thing would have worked had we already not been convinced that you weren't funny before that. Ouch. Everything.
Ari Matti
Shut up. I love her.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Really. Shut up, Tony.
Ari Matti
That was amazing, Cynthia. Wow, that was incredible, Cynthia. I can totally mentor you later.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, Cynthia. Shut up, Tony.
Ari Matti
Voice of a generation. Cynthia.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Cynthia. How long you been doing stand up?
Cynthia Brazil
A little less than three years.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Have you been on the show before?
Cynthia Brazil
Nope.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, less than three years.
Joe DeRosa
Where?
Cynthia Brazil
the Ding Dong show every Monday with Dawn Barris.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's right.
Cynthia Brazil
I've done Australia.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How long have you been on the Ding Dong Show?
Cynthia Brazil
It's gonna be a year next month.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow, that is so cool. I did not know that. So you've been doing the Ding Dong show every Monday for a year?
Cynthia Brazil
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And what do you do on the Ding Dong Show? For those of you that don't know, the Ding Dong show is famously the longest running show at the Comedy Store. It's not particularly a standup show. It's led by the great Don Barris, who's been our guest numerous times. The creator of the great movie Windy City Heat, and he has a very. How would you describe the show?
Cynthia Brazil
It's hard to describe. I do stand up. Nicole Tran is in it too. She does stand up. But there are some people that do their stuff and they're a little bit crazy. Well, you know, you're familiar with the people that come here. A little autistic. A little crazy. Yeah. And you know, we welcome everyone.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Absolutely. Yeah. It's a very open format. So how long of a set do you do there on Mondays now?
Cynthia Brazil
I've been doing six, but before it was like 10, 15 sometimes, but. But then Don is amazing. Don and Mary Jane. So it's been really good to be over there learning from them and all that stuff.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How many spots a week do you live in la?
Cynthia Brazil
I do.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And so like, you get out a lot and do spots, open mics and stuff?
Cynthia Brazil
I do, yeah. I. I did like a mini tour in Florida with Phil Medina and Jason Schuster. I did east coast. I've done Australia.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How do you make money?
Ari Matti
Let her finish.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Two shots of whiskey in the green room. What would have happened if you would have done three?
Ari Matti
Go ahead, my angel. I have another tour for you, by the way.
Cynthia Brazil
Bottle service and bartending.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, yeah, okay. That's in la?
Cynthia Brazil
Yes, that's in la.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. You do bottle service in la?
Cynthia Brazil
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. D Madness. I found a new all blind bar you can go to. It's. It's for blind people that don't care how hot the bottle service girls are.
Cynthia Brazil
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Nobody.
Cynthia Brazil
What the. I'm kidding twice today.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, I'm kidding. Cynthia. It's a. It's an ongoing joke between me and Ari. He likes you. We're doing good.
Ari Matti
Cop out, Tony. I'm leaving.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Ouch. Cynthia, what do you do for fun? You have kids?
Cynthia Brazil
No.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Yes. Oh, red band. Oh, red band's got a chance all of a sudden.
Ari Matti
What the was that?
Tony Hinchcliffe
You know how to do makeup body shots?
Cynthia Brazil
Not that kind of club.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Anyway. Cynthia, what do you do for fun?
Cynthia Brazil
I don't know. I don't go out as much now because I'm at a concert venue like three times a week. So just, you know, hiking, go to the gym, go to the movies. I started with acting before I.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Did you ever do any acting?
Cynthia Brazil
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What did you play?
Cynthia Brazil
Well, there's a lot of, like, credits on IMDb, so I've done, like, action movies. I've done, like, a kids show too, where I got to sing. That was a really cheesy one.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Why don't we do a little acting scene? Why don't we do. Ari, Maddie is a secret agent.
Joe DeRosa
Yeah, Ari, Maddie's a secret agent. And the only way you're gonna let her out of the interrogation the only way you're gonna let her out of the interrogation is she has to sing to you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Whoa.
Cynthia Brazil
That was Shakita.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, here we go. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, this summer, what happens when an Estonian secret agent has to interrogate a blonde chick?
Ari Matti
Cynthia, my angel, we have to save the world.
Cynthia Brazil
Okay, that's good.
Ari Matti
Improvise. We have to save the world, Cynthia. And for this to happen, to stop the nuclear attack on America, we have to kill Tony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's good acting. That's good improvising right there. Keep going, keep going.
Ari Matti
Cynthia, you must sing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Whoa, Shakira.
Cynthia Brazil
Hips don't lie, but men do. I called you man.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Most people call you gay.
Cynthia Brazil
I was respectful.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, all right, very good. I can't understand anything you're saying. It's all good.
Cynthia Brazil
We're not alone.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's all good.
Cynthia Brazil
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. Great scene, guys. Unbelievable.
Ari Matti
That was great, Cynthia. Once in a lifetime experience. Literally amazing. Daniel Day Lewis. It's your mind that I'm interested, not your body.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Cynthia, did you have fun here tonight?
Cynthia Brazil
Oh, so much fun. So grateful.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Here you go. Here's a medium joke book. You're gonna be able to catch it. Believe in yourself. There you go. Cynthia Brazil, everyone. Thank you. I'm not going to be able to catch it. I'm not going to be able to catch it. There she goes. Cynthia Brazil, everybody. This looks like a fun next name. Make some noise for your next comedian, everybody. It's Mushroom Matte. Mushroom Mat. This is definitely a first time. Could be a mat we've seen before on mushrooms. Or it's just a new comedian. Mushroom mat. I would know if I've seen a mushroom mat before. How many you like aqua oxygen out there? How many of you like air? How many of you like a cold water on a hot day? Yeah. One more time for Mushroom Mat, everybody.
Mushroom Mat
All right. My love life has been cursed from the jump. First girl I hooked up with lost my virginity, gained chlamydia. Didn't even know I had it. For over a year, I thought I was getting that burning sensation because my girlfriend had a spicy pussy. Okay, I realize that sounds childish. I was 16. I wasn't even surprised when I started getting that burn. I mean, she literally said her pussy was fire. On top of that, the bitch would eat hot Cheetos for breakfast. If pineapples make your body fluids taste sweet, what the fuck do you think that's gonna do? Here's the sick, twisted. Here's the sick, twisted part about the whole ordeal. When I did find out chlamydia, I didn't want the cure. Turns out I liked it. Okay, I realize that sounds sick. Let me try to explain. I love spicy food. If I can order something spicy, I do. Fried rice, spicy salsa, spicy ramen, spicy as hell. Sex spicy police. Y' all don't realize the head of your dick and the tip of your tongue are like cousins. Chlamydia is pretty much a sexual. It spices up the bedroom. It is hot sauce for your hot dog. All right.
Michael Gonzalez
Thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Mushroom mat. Never. I've never had a guy talk about pussy his whole set. And yet we're all positive you're gay. It's incredible.
Mushroom Mat
Damn. Really?
Tony Hinchcliffe
You are deep in the closet. Mushroom mat.
Taylor Neely
No,
Joe DeRosa
you gotta relax, man. Yeah, it's not good to deliver your set like A car salesman who, if he doesn't make the sale, he's gonna lose his job. Just chill out, bro. Okay?
J.P. Hinsdale
Okay.
Mushroom Mat
I'm very antsy guy. Normally I have, like, really high energy.
Joe DeRosa
Are you on mushrooms?
Mushroom Mat
No. Well, like, it depends on what you consider on. I microdose every day.
Joe DeRosa
Well, yeah, that's on.
Mushroom Mat
Okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Joe DeRosa
What the fuck is going on anymore in this society? Jesus Christ.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Depends on what you consider on every day. He said some Jordan Peterson right there, right? Well, depends what you consider on. I mean, you're on it, buddy. That's mushrooms. You do it every day.
Mushroom Mat
Y.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What else do you do every day? That's about it.
Mushroom Mat
I mean, I smoke weed as well, Matt.
Joe DeRosa
That's plenty. Don't add anything else to that equation.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How long you been doing stand up?
Mushroom Mat
About three years.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What do you do for work?
Mushroom Mat
I am a bartender at the Lion Hotel.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. How long have you been doing that for?
Mushroom Mat
About a month. I just moved out here about three months ago.
Tony Hinchcliffe
From where? The Bay Area. Ooh, the Bay Area.
Michael Gonzalez
It's raining bad.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No doubt about it.
Joe DeRosa
You might be the first bartender in history where a customer doesn't have a problem ever getting another drink. What do you need? What do you need?
Tony Hinchcliffe
What do you need?
Mushroom Mat
No, I'm very quick. Very quick. I can make 20 drinks in five minutes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Is that true? Yeah. We're gonna put that to the test right after this set, everybody. Wait, what? Okay. What do you do for fun? Mushroom, Matt.
Mushroom Mat
So I'm really good at catching birds.
Joe DeRosa
Jesus Christ.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You do that with like one hands?
Mushroom Mat
Well, yeah, so like, usually it's with. I have like, my brothers. We will dig a hole at the beach, and then I'll hide inside of the hole under a towel. And then my brothers will throw bread on top and then we'll catch the seagulls, bro.
Ari Matti
Do less shrooms, dude.
Joe DeRosa
Matt, why the do you do that?
Mushroom Mat
It's.
Joe DeRosa
God damn it.
Mushroom Mat
Why do people go fishing? It's for the thrill, right?
Zach Black
I mean, it's the same thing.
Mushroom Mat
I like to fish too.
Ari Matti
Going fishing and catching birds are not the same thing.
Joe DeRosa
And seagulls are easy to catch, man. Man, that's.
Mushroom Mat
Yeah, it's fun too.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How many birds do you think you've caught in your life?
Mushroom Mat
Probably in like double digits. At least 13.
Uncle Laser
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
At least 13 birds have been caught. And have any ever shown any signs of injury after?
J.P. Hinsdale
No.
Mushroom Mat
No abs.
Michael Gonzalez
No.
Mushroom Mat
I show more signs of injury. I caught a goose one times and it smacked me in the face with its wing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. Okay.
Joe DeRosa
Just when you thought A seagull's life couldn't get any shittier.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hello. What do you want to drink? Seagull. My pussy's burning.
Joe DeRosa
This is a spicy seagull.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, this seagull smells like shit.
Michael Gonzalez
I like it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. Mushroom Mat. Why do you go by the name Mushroom Mat if you're just microdosing?
Mushroom Mat
Well, I do macrodose every once in a while as well. I've done an ounce of before.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You've done an ounce before at once?
Mushroom Mat
My birthday, three years ago. It was a good time.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What exactly happened after you did an ounce?
Mushroom Mat
Everything got super weird. It's.
Ari Matti
I think it's still pretty weird.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Joe DeRosa
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, I mean, that's eight times more than a lot.
Joe DeRosa
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So things get super weird when I do a fraction of that. How do you explain super weird? The birds were catching me. They put me in a towel. I was just nibbling on their bread and they grabbed me. I'm straight. Get off me. Birds. You bitches. Birds.
Mushroom Mat
No. Everything kind of just feels like you're in a haunted house. It kind of gets scary. It feels like there's spirits running around, but, like, sometimes they talk to you and you make friends.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. Do you remember what any of the spirits told you?
Mushroom Mat
They told me not to do that many mushrooms again.
Hans Kim
Okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Really? Yeah.
Joe DeRosa
Spirits didn't bring up the birds at all?
Mushroom Mat
No, the seagulls are. They said they keep doing that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, mushroom out. What are you doing around town when you're not doing stand up or bartending?
Mushroom Mat
I like to go fishing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So you do go fishing. You're obsessed with catching animals.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Mushroom Mat
I have considered moving to Florida to, like, catch snakes in the Everglades to help with the python problem.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Adds up.
Mushroom Mat
I love catching animals.
J.P. Hinsdale
I don't know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
Joe DeRosa
Did you know there was a python problem? This guy's filled with info I was not aware of.
Ari Matti
What's the python problem?
Mushroom Mat
So in the Everglades, there's just like, a lot of pythons, like Burmese pythons. I guess the Hurricane Katrina, like, released all the pet store snakes, and so they just ran rampant inside of the Everglades and they're, like, eating alligators and shit now.
Aaron West
It's pretty crazy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And okay,
Taylor Neely
it's.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And you think you could help with that? You think you could be one of the single hand solutions to the python problem?
Joe DeRosa
Yeah.
Mushroom Mat
Yeah, I do.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
Joe DeRosa
I have a question for the audience. Does any. Just raise your hand? Does anybody in this audience write comic books?
Tony Hinchcliffe
No.
Joe DeRosa
Can somebody find somebody that writes this? There needs to be a Comic book about this man.
Taylor Neely
Yeah.
Joe DeRosa
Would you not read the comic book of Mushroom Matthons?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. No, I'd skip it.
Joe DeRosa
I gotta tell you, it's a bad idea. I thought it sounded good at first.
Ari Matti
Now Cynthia needs to be a comic book hero.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What's your love life like, Mushroom Matt? In real life?
Mushroom Mat
It's not great. It's not great. I've been single for a long time. I guess I'm kind of just looking for the right girl.
Ari Matti
You must crazy, huh?
Uncle Laser
That energy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Have you kissed a girl since you moved to Austin?
Zach Black
Kiss?
Mushroom Mat
Yes, I have kissed a girl. Yes, I went on a date.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Mushroom Mat. Fun times. Here's a little joke book, my friend. Boom. Mushroom. Thank you. You're so the lovely Heidi, everybody. And look, there's a local public defender here, everyone. Amazing. It's one of the better public defenders in the city. All right, you guys having fun here tonight, huh? Make some noise for your next bucketful. Nick James, everyone. Nick James. Here he comes. One more time for Nick James, everyone.
Michael Gonzalez
All right, thank you. Thank you. I don't know how to say this. I'm not sexy, like, at all. It's. And I can't even dirty talk right either. Like, I just sound way too polite and dorky. Like, I had this girlfriend, and she would always say things like, nick, I want you to eat my pussy from the back. And me being me, I would just be like, well, okay, You betcha. Whoa. There you go. And the same night, she was like, you know what? Take the condom off. I don't care anymore. Just fuck me raw. And I'm just like, well, splendid. I will happily oblige. Thank you. All right. After that, she's like, all right, Nick, I want you to do something crazy. I want you to choke me. I want you to demean me. I want you to say mean, wild shit. And I do all that. But even then, I'm still like, well, I hope this isn't too tight around your neck, you bitch. Are you okay? You fucking whore. I love you. All right, there you go.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Nick James. The return of Nick James. We know Nick. He's been on the show a few times.
Michael Gonzalez
Hey, how's it going?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Welcome back. Still working at the parking lot?
Michael Gonzalez
No, I got fired from that, actually.
Aaron West
Ooh.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Why'd you get fired?
Michael Gonzalez
They found out I didn't have a car for most of my employment.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And why did. Well, why was that a problem?
Michael Gonzalez
Because they require you to have a car.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yep, that'll do it.
Joe DeRosa
Why, though? Why do you have to have a car to park cars.
Michael Gonzalez
Well, no, I was writing. Don't boo me again. But I was writing parking tickets, damn it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Super villain.
Joe DeRosa
Not very polite of you, Matt. Not very polite.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Did you used to boot people, too, sometimes?
Michael Gonzalez
No, no, it was just riding parking tickets. And now I can talk about this freely since I'm not working there anymore. Half the time, I would just like. All right, dude, you know what? Just tell me you're proud of me,
Tony Hinchcliffe
and I'll let you off.
Michael Gonzalez
You know, like, I'll just.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow,
Joe DeRosa
that's a great joke. Is that one of your jokes? No, do that as one of your jokes.
Michael Gonzalez
Yeah, okay.
Joe DeRosa
That's a great joke.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. Yeah.
Michael Gonzalez
Thank you. That's just my personality, but thank you, Joe. All right, cool.
Joe DeRosa
You're welcome. I think you're funny, man.
Ari Matti
Yeah.
Mushroom Mat
How long have you done stand up?
Michael Gonzalez
Oh, see, not counting that weird Covid year like this. It was actually my sixth year as of last week.
Ari Matti
Yeah, Your pacing was good. I like that I came out calm. Pacing was good.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That was good.
Michael Gonzalez
Yeah. Dude, I was so nervous, I almost tripped up the stairs on my way up here. So thank you. That means a lot.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Actually. What do you do now that you don't work at a parking lot?
Michael Gonzalez
I do lift full time, so I'm unemployed.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wait, so now you have a car?
Michael Gonzalez
I do, yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You got fired for not having a car?
Michael Gonzalez
Like, I. I got fired, and then two weeks later, I bought a car. I'm like, can I have my job back? And they're like, you. No.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like, wow.
Michael Gonzalez
Yeah, they're real dicks.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Who would guess?
Aaron West
Oh, I'm sorry. What was that?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Who would have guessed that the people in charge of writing tickets were dicks? Yeah. What kind of car did you get?
Michael Gonzalez
I got a 23 Chevy Malibu.
Tony Hinchcliffe
A Chevy Malibu?
Michael Gonzalez
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. Oh, my God.
Michael Gonzalez
Good man.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So what's it like swimming in bitches?
Michael Gonzalez
Well, I'm gonna be honest. I had a bit of a dry spell for the last three months, but.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No way.
Michael Gonzalez
But I got some pussy the other night.
J.P. Hinsdale
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Take us through it. Exactly. What happened there?
Joe DeRosa
Yeah.
Michael Gonzalez
Well, I. Well, I matched with this girl on hinge, and then I met her up at a bar, and then I, you know, I ate her in her car and then.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. So where. Where exactly did you guys go? Where did you go? Like, take us through the actual day? You kind of skipped a little bit there.
Michael Gonzalez
All right, so it's like an old
Tony Hinchcliffe
DVD when you would skip scenes and just jump, jump, jump.
Michael Gonzalez
All right, I'll do a little play by play. So I met up at my usual spot, Fraziers. Wow, all right. Yeah, it's a great bar, right? And they got these booths there and they're really comfy, you know, and that's, you know, like you get the girl in the booth like, and you know, you can kind of like you have an excuse to sit close to her and it sounds really creepy actually, but like, yes, in my case it works, you know, and you know, like I've banned probably like five girls after taking them to Fraziers over the last like
Aaron West
year and a half.
Michael Gonzalez
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Really?
Michael Gonzalez
Yeah, I'm kind of a horror dude.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like, wow, look at you. Absolutely incredible. You really are. I was making a joke about your Chevy Malibu, but it turns out jokes on me. You're swimming in pussy. I mean, it is the destroyer. Frasers. So five girls. So let's talk about this the other day thing. You took her to Fraser's and then how did you end up eating her pussy inside of her car? What kind of car did she have? Something smaller than a Malibu.
Michael Gonzalez
I wasn't paying attention, honestly. I think it was a Toyota or something. But not a Prius.
Uncle Laser
I know that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, so how did it get to that?
Michael Gonzalez
Well, I, you know, we were already kind of. We were flirting pretty heavily over text, you know, so that made. That gave me some confidence to start off with.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, flirting pretty heavily.
Michael Gonzalez
Yeah. Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Can you give us an example of what some heavy flirtation from you via text looks like? Fucking psycho. Let's see.
Michael Gonzalez
This is a little difficult on my phone, but let's see here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Let's unlock his phone real quick. Let's get a yonder unlocker here and give me an unlocker. I want the real. I don't want you to have to use your imagination. I think it's better, in fact. Is it okay if I read it?
Michael Gonzalez
Yeah, go for it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Great, perfect. Is it in your pocket?
Michael Gonzalez
No, it's. They made me take it out. It's in the bin over there.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, okay. Somebody grab that bin. And a yonder unlocker. Or we can get the tech guy to probably do some special code on it or something. I know how to Massage Week. We made these in San Francisco, where I'm virtually from. I lied. All right, here we go. How about a hand for the lovely Christy, everybody? Her and Yoni always keeping the train on it.
Aaron West
This isn't my phone.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow, that's right. We gave you her phone. We can read the messages here.
Michael Gonzalez
My phone. I. I know what happened. I put my phone in the pocket of my backpack. Yeah, just bring the Whole backpack up here? Yeah, it's the green one.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, this is where we all get killed. Everyone. All right, I just need my entire backpack. Guy that got fired from his writing tickets job that gets all the pussy in his Chevy Malibu.
Aaron West
Oh, thank you.
Joe DeRosa
Hey.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, yeah. Let's go.
Michael Gonzalez
All right. You might have to scroll up a little bit.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'll scroll, buddy. I'll scroll.
Michael Gonzalez
All right.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Monday or Sunday. Hold on a second. Wait, when is this? Where are we at? Oh, she sent. You sent pictures of your dog.
Michael Gonzalez
Oh, yeah.
Uncle Laser
Wow.
Joe DeRosa
Of his dog, did you say?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Absolutely Incredible. There's a lot of texts here. Oh, okay.
Ari Matti
So many pictures of dogs.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow, you're right. So that you're saying that the flirting started heavily on Sunday or Monday?
Uncle Laser
About.
Michael Gonzalez
Yeah, like, I just know I dirt off a lot on Sunday, so I have a good feeling.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my goodness.
Ari Matti
I saw a text where she goes, damn you and your sex appeal,
Tony Hinchcliffe
psycho. Get out of here. I was saving that. You get out of here. You're the creepy one for reading me. Reading some other dude's flirty text over my shoulder.
Michael Gonzalez
Hey, he doesn't know any better. He's European. European.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I keep. By the way, you're all in big trouble because I keep scrolling up because I'm seeing so much good. I'm like, wow, what else? This is. Oh, my God. So when did you guys go out? Monday night. Yeah, okay.
Michael Gonzalez
Yeah, sorry. I'm sorry I missed the last kill, Tony, but, you know. Yeah, I had things to do.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We totally noticed you weren't there. Everyone was like it. Where's Nick? James again? Where do you like to go for a drink? You. She asks you, where do you like to go for a drink? Usually Frasiers on E6, but I'm always able to. Suggestions. I've never been to either, so I'm down for the adventure. Lol. I like its energy. It gets busy, but you can still hear each other talk. Follow up from him. And it's not on Dirty six, so none of that nonsense. Oh, yeah, it's not on Dirty, so it must be clean. Okay, perfect. I like to chat. And east side is infinitely better than Dirty. Wow. She's got her own amazing thoughts. Oh, yeah, right. Bars are so much cleaner too. You dirty boy. Wow, there's some real in here tonight. May I be one of those girls and get your birth chart information? I must Investigate. Smiley face. LOL.
Joe DeRosa
Sure.
Tony Hinchcliffe
1-8-94. Born on a Saturday morning in a blizzard. I swear to God, I'm not changing a word. By the way, how exciting. Do you know what time I forget? I think like 10 in the morning.
Michael Gonzalez
Yep.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I've never seen so much someone with so much cap energy. Hello. Oh, there's a. You're using caps a lot. Do you have a lot of friends? I have many acquaintances. Lol. But a decent amount of friends. I can see that. Do you feel super psychic? No, lol. I delude myself into thinking I am a lot, though. Does that count? It's all in the mindset anyway. You are what you eat and believe. What's your dating history been like? Lol. True. And let's see. Played the field a lot. Had a couple serious relationships over the years. Some short flings and whatnot. Don't worry though. My hoe phase is over. Genius. Bravo, young Skywalker. Pretty much the same. Got my hoface over with early. Props on her. Props on her. While they're both being disgusting. Had a serious relationship in my mid-20s, then recovered from that. Nice. Two recovered hoes looking for stability now. You are a sly doggy. You're a sly little doggy.
Michael Gonzalez
They ain't call me Big Dick Nick for nothing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. Okay. Don't make it creepy. All right, I did. No, this is you. Sorry. I did have one girlfriend cheat on me, so that sucked. But no great tragedies. Smart.
Michael Gonzalez
Oh, yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Looking back, I should have been a bigger hoe. I was out there looking for love. I swear to God, I'm not changing a word. Oof. I hope she got the opposite of everything she ever wanted as karma. Yeah, it was a weird situation. Yeah, we can always be big hoes together. Haha.
Joe DeRosa
Oh, my God. You fucking pig.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hold on. And just to let you know, on this next one, this.
Joe DeRosa
This is her.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And when I say check mark, I mean the actual check mark emoji. Get ready for it. Here we go. Remember, we're coming off of. Hey, we can always be big hoes together. Ha ha ha. Ha ha. True written out. Ha ha. Here we go. Okay, let me check my hoe. Bag of essentials. Don't care. Attitude. Check. Let's just see where this goes. Check. Bikini thirst traps. Check. Okay, I'm ready to go. Hell yeah. Checking my manho. Checking my bag of Manhoe. Essentials. Aloof. Hiding my horniness. Attitude. Check. Jeans that show off my bulge. You know, I was on kill Tony a few times. I swear to God, I. Whoops. Oh, oh. Oops. Okay, there's one more. By the way, I know it's such a great tax, but there's one more that's part of that Tax that. That is one. Just to let you know, for those of you in the front, if you're wondering about the check marks, can you confirm that there are check marks? There are check marks there. There's one more room that was just cleaned an hour before this fucking dirt ball. We may just be a match made in hell. It's so cute when men try to hide their horniness. They'll be talking about anything and everything. And I'll never be mad about tight jeans. I have something to fantasize about. Lol. I just lumped all the cliches in there. I'm definitely guilty of talking too much when I'm horny. You might have to put a muzzle on me, but I'll make sure to wear some extra tight jeans just for you. Oh, you're holding up your bulge, right? Oh, wow, look at that. I like being electric too, so the chattiness will really work for me. What do you like to see a girl wearing? I'm a man of simple taste. A short skirt and a tank top with lots of cleavage is always nice.
Michael Gonzalez
Oh,
Tony Hinchcliffe
simple taste, like what? It's literally like every guy's like favorite situation. Oh, simple taste. You know, the sluttiest on planet Earth. Luckily that's what I wear every day. Jk. I wear a lot of shorts. I was about to say my prayers have been answered. Haha. So does that mean you still wear the tank top with cleavage? Oh yeah. I get hot easily, so I like to be as uncovered as possible. So my prayers were answered. Lol. Lucky you. What's your type of girl? Whatever type you are, I swear to God. But let's Corny answer. She's got to be nice, fun to talk to with just enough hoe to match my freak, but not so much that I got to worry. What's your type of guy? Someone funny, sweet, smart, honest and protective. Someone I can turn my brain off when I'm around them because I be thinking all day and my brain hurts. Wow,
Michael Gonzalez
I got a winner. Right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
She says, what's your freak?
Taylor Neely
Freak?
Tony Hinchcliffe
My freak? Honestly, much as I value deep connection and love and all that, I'm also just a very horny guy. Huh. So like PG, PG 13, PDA, but in the bedroom. I'm probably going down on you for like a half hour. Stuff like that. This is crazy. This is amazing. That sounds amazing. I have a. I'm a. Oh, wow. I have a bit of an exhibitionist urge and I like to be very submissive, but secretly the one in control. Well, I better Be on my best behavior for our date. Then something tells me I'm in for quite the show. I'm crying. I googled exhibitionist to make sure that was the right term, and it called it a mental illness. Okay, I meant I just like the adrenaline rush from being super sexy and sexually teasing in public. Ha ha. I got both definitions back to back. And I just crossed my fingers that it was the sexy one. But damn. Didn't know you were freaky like that. When I clicked on your profile, I thought, oh, she seems so sweet and innocent. Turns out you're also sweet and devious. I'm a Gemini. I have two personalities. Public Persona equals sweet. Professional works with students in private. Unhinged. I have to have an outlet. I'm a walking sexy teacher Trope. In that case, want to give me a private lesson on sexual education? I think I'll also need some extra tutoring from you too. Come to my office hours and show me how you've been trying to learn the material. Sounds like a plan. I hope it's an oral exam. It sounds like something you already excel there. Bring me something you want to improve on. True, but practice makes perfect. Although I could use a refresher course on leaving hickeys. Oh, you dirty dirt ball. Slow makeouts are my favorite. Really? Guess that makes two of us. He's just agreeing with anything she's saying. Oh, two of us for sure. Totally agree. Can I eat your yet? Okay. Oh, my God. I'm going to scroll a bit because you guys are yappy fucks, but I'm sorry.
Joe DeRosa
Wow, I feel a little swindled.
Ari Matti
You're killing it on the chat.
Joe DeRosa
I mean, you're killing it here. You came up with this Owen Wilson routine of like, ah, shucks, I don't know, maybe your pussy is good. And now you're in these fucking messages like a vampire.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You're like, this is insane, dude.
Ari Matti
You're like, Ushered, Dude.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What's the worst first date you've been on? Probably going to see the Hobbit, too. And. And having to explain every Lord of the Rings movies so she'd stop asking me. Lol. How about you? Awkward incel comic takes the cake. But a close second was back in undergrad. I. The guy invited me over to his apartment. It was the filthiest setup I've ever seen in my life. I sat with my other with my other crossed on the very edge of the mattress that was on the floor. While he talked about basketball, I sat with my legs crossed. I see why you ate her pussy in her own car. By the way, she doesn't like a. Is your apartment messy?
Michael Gonzalez
I mean, it was clean at the time when I brought her over, so.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. Okay, this has gone on way too long, but I gotta tell you, this is unbelievable. Unbelievable flirting.
Ari Matti
There's a saying in Estonian that the guy who ends up fucking the girl always comes from the corner.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's you, dude with that game.
Zach Black
I love it.
Michael Gonzalez
I don't know about that, but I can't believe that.
Joe DeRosa
Didn't you all think the saying would be way cooler than that?
Ari Matti
No, it's tragic.
Joe DeRosa
This is gonna be really profound. They say in Estonia the guy that fucks the girl is the one that talks to her. Okay, that's fucking really brilliant. All right, thank you. It's super insightful. Wow, what a country you come from.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, all right. Yeah, I'm done.
Michael Gonzalez
Well, what. What am I doing?
Tony Hinchcliffe
You want to call her? Let's ask her how the eating was to close this segment of the show.
Michael Gonzalez
All right, she did go to bed an hour ago, but let's see if I can wake her up.
Tony Hinchcliffe
The person you're trying to reach is not available. Oh, my God. All right, fun times. Nick James, you're a legend. How about one more time for Nick James secret show tomorrow. You already have a big joke book, right, Nick? Not yet. You only have a little one. There you go, buddy. Congratulations. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Right in that pussy eating mouth of his. All right, everybody, your next comedian goes by the name of Ryan Igler. Ryan Igler. Okay, nice quick transition here. Make some noise for Ryan Igler, everybody. So I live out in the country.
Ryan Igler
I just found out what code switching is. It's so fun. Like, it's a new way to get out of speeding tickets, Coach. Switch it to a little pretty girl. But I'm aware of it now. So my little sister plays on a special needs baseball team. It's called the Challenger League. It's a great name, but I coach on it sometimes and it's most. I'm just there because, like, some of the moms can't handle some of them. So I get to get sacrificed off the survivor tribe to wrangle. But one day the pitcher on the team didn't want to throw the ball. Now his name's Donnie. He's the smallest guy in his family. He's 6 foot 2, he has downs. He's also deaf. And they sent me out there to go get him to throw the ball. So I'm explaining to him on the mound, I'm Like Donnie, you can't roll the ball. You have to throw the ball. But I realized I was doing it in death.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Danny, you can't run to mom. You have to throw the mom.
Ryan Igler
Thanks. I'm a Ryan Echler, guys.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, I'm gonna read some more Nick James text messages, get this show back on track.
Joe DeRosa
I did like that. You did an Ari Matty impression right at the end there.
Ari Matti
It's good.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How long you been trying stand up, Ryan?
Ryan Igler
I'm four months in.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Four months in all of it. Here in Austin?
Ryan Igler
No, I'm out of Houston.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. What. How old are you?
Ryan Igler
I'm 33.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What made you start now at 33 years old?
Ryan Igler
I've always wanted to do it. I just never had time. I was always on the road.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What were you doing on the road?
Ryan Igler
I was a guitar player.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Guitar player for a band?
Ryan Igler
Yeah, several. Just hired gun type stuff. Session work, all that. So I'd always be gone.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. And which bands?
Joe DeRosa
Anybody we would know?
Ryan Igler
Yeah. Started playing for a guy named Jason Allen. Toured Texas playing honky tonks with him. One chick.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You guys know Jason Allen? Oh, the band does not.
Mushroom Mat
It's fine.
Ryan Igler
It's Texas country stuff.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Ryan Igler
But played for a chick named Peyton Howey. That was fun. Got introduced to the festival world through that one. And then the most recent one was Trent Cowie. I was playing with him.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Sure. What made you want to stop playing guitar and start a brand new art form?
Ryan Igler
Oh, they cut me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You're not that good.
Ryan Igler
No, it's just, I was told. Different direction. I'm a little. I'm a little rowdy on stage.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like, how are you rowdy?
Ryan Igler
Like, very animated. Jump around. It's a show. You bought a ticket, you get a show.
Joe DeRosa
Yeah, yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hell yeah. Were you. Were you a good person on the road? Yeah, yeah.
Ryan Igler
I'm cleaning. I don't have, like, stinky feet and.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You don't have what?
Aaron West
Stinky feet.
Ryan Igler
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, that's good. Good to know. Go ahead.
Joe DeRosa
No, I was gonna say, did you party too much?
Ryan Igler
No, no. I quit drinking, like, eight years ago. Oh.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God. Everybody's.
Ari Matti
Everyone's over today. Jesus Christ.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Crazy. Oh, no, I'm.
Ryan Igler
Mushrooms are heavy again. Like, 290 was most wild getting here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
This is the new thing. Everybody gets sober from everything else. They're like, I'm just blitzed on mushrooms. Like, the most extreme.
Joe DeRosa
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Have you found God?
Michael Gonzalez
No.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. He's looking for you.
Aaron West
Mom.
Ryan Igler
Always.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do we have another guitar here? Did we bring the second guitar? Here we go. We gotta see this guy play guitar. Because I'm pretty sure that's your calling, Ryan. You can't let these other people scare you out of being a musician. You're sure as fuck not a comedian. At least not yet. We'll see what happens with that down the road. But my goodness. Okay, here we are. Name some of the bands you've been in. Again, no names. It's just for other people. And you kind of jump around very animated during this person's. These. These actual. The artists that people are there to see. I could see why that would. I could see. Do you have something like an original, kind of a riff that you like to play that won't get us flagged on YouTube? He's calling the play right now, ladies and gentlemen. It's a flat D, key of 7. It's more Indian people showing up.
Michael Gonzalez
Here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He is living his dream, playing his own show, not for another person. You're cut again. Oh. Hit like a thing. You're playing like a chord. Do something crazy. Oh, he's feeling himself, folks. The band is kicking in behind him, totally making him sound great. Proving once again they are the best damn band in the land. I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend. All right, that's enough. Shut the up. Stop it. All right, Ryan, that was fun. How about a hand for the lovely Heidi? Did you have fun here tonight, Ryan?
Ryan Igler
Yeah, man.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What's another crazy thing about your childhood or your life that would surprise us? Before I let you go, I used
Ryan Igler
to be a child model for a Jewish department store called Wieners.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What was it called?
Ryan Igler
Wieners.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wieners.
Taylor Neely
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
There was a Jewish department store called Wieners.
Ryan Igler
Yeah. Back in the 90s in Houston. It was like a dealer's JC penny, but it was called Wieners. And I was a child model for him all through the 90s.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
Ari Matti
Yeah.
Ryan Igler
Mom used to pimp me out.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Did you ever get molested?
Ryan Igler
Nah, I fucking swerved that one.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. It was close.
Ryan Igler
Don't ask, don't tell, baby. You know?
Tony Hinchcliffe
I don't know. There he goes. Ryan Igler. Fun times, Ryan. Keep doing it for a while. Sign up again. There he is. Ryan Eckler, everybody. All right. It's one of those moments. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna bring to the stage what some people consider a legend of kill Tony. What some people consider one of their least favorite characters in the history of the show. You either love them or you hate him. This is the very polarizing style of Uncle Laser, everyone. Oh, he's chugging A beer. Always the showman taking his time. The squawking American eagle. One more time for Uncle Lazer. Everyone
Uncle Laser
check out on your friends this summer. Kiss them on the mouth, tell them you love them. Listen, I'm friends with a lot of coloreds. Blacks. We got any blacks in here tonight? Oh, hell, yeah. They set y' all up front. That's progressive. Hell, yeah. Listen, I'm not a regular white. My black friends, they call me N word. They're all like, hey, Uncle Leslie, you're a real ass motherfucking. And as a white man, when a black man calls you that, it's special. It's like when your dad pats you on the butt and says, good game, son. But, boy, they don't like it when you say it back to them. I'm playing spades the other day at my homie's house, and they're just. It's a black person game. You wouldn't know anything about. We're playing spades back and forth, right? I'm cutting these up like, yo, you a real ass. And I'm like, I started walking with
Tony Hinchcliffe
a limp, you know?
Uncle Laser
And they done said about 20 times, I said, man, y' all said, enough. Y' all think. Y' all think I can say it back? And they go, fuck you, white boy. You can't say that. I said, well, it sound like music's getting a little too loud at this party, okay? And they said, you can see yourself out. And as I walked outside, I did the one whitest thing of my life. I called the law. And I said, hey, these are playing that music too loud. My name is Uncle Laser. Y' all are great.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Uncle Laser. My favorite part of that set was when the black person in the back of the room clapped and you said, wow, they sat you in the front. How progressive. Even though they're in the back.
Uncle Laser
Look, dude, I'm Equal Opportunity, the diversity hire. Hey, I'm be honest with you. You reading that erotica shit. I didn't even have to take sound. I'm hard as a rock right now. That shit he's doing earlier, Son of a gun, what a treat that was.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He was good. It is exciting. Flirtatious texts are exciting. What. What's some of the crazy shit we would find in your phone if we went through it?
Uncle Laser
If you'll read it. If you'll read it. Well, my girlfriend Gina, you know Gina, of course. Doctor from Buffalo. Yep.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What kind of doctor is she again?
Uncle Laser
Pediatric.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yep. Perfect.
Joe DeRosa
She's actually.
Uncle Laser
She's actually right there. She's right up there.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I believe that means she works on children's feet.
Joe DeRosa
Your girlfriend's a padin.
Tony Hinchcliffe
A pediatrist.
Uncle Laser
A patriarch.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yep. Perfect.
Joe DeRosa
That's like how Harley Quinn fell in love with the Joker.
Uncle Laser
But I was sleeping the other night at my brother's house. We was out there, and she took my phone. She was pissed off at me, and she showed my face on my phone while I slept. And she saw. She saw a lot. So. Yeah, you know, we don't. Yeah, I'm a. I'm a. I'm gonna
Tony Hinchcliffe
give us a ballpark of what she saw. I mean, she already.
Uncle Laser
Everything, Tony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like what? What's everything?
Uncle Laser
Me, other girls like on camera and.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Tell us more. Describe the situation, Laser.
Uncle Laser
Well, it ain't good, Tony. No, she just. She saw some and she all got all pissed off. But we love each other, so we're still together. She's like, look, we'll go to counseling. I'm like, I don't want to go to counseling.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So are you going to go to counseling?
Uncle Laser
Going to counseling.
Tony Hinchcliffe
When are you going to counseling?
Uncle Laser
You know,
Tony Hinchcliffe
Is it scheduled yet? Soon, yeah.
Uncle Laser
Hey, but you want to. Hey, real quick. This for Ari Maddok. Look, you got a bunch of cripples and retards.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Are you changing the subject right now? Well, she's right there, Tony.
Uncle Laser
God damn it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
This is good. Goddamn. Entertain it.
Uncle Laser
All right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Something that can only happen on Kill, Tony. The fact that she's right there makes it. This is a once.
Uncle Laser
And bring her ass down here, titties and all.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, I mean, I wasn't gonna do that. Then I'd be putting you on that spot.
Uncle Laser
That's why doctor. She'll get fired.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right?
Uncle Laser
From the optometrist.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yes.
Joe DeRosa
Laser did the. One of the craziest things I've ever seen a human being do. Upstairs. Yeah, Me, Ari and Laser went into the bathroom at the same time. We all to pee. I went in the stall to pee. Ari's at the urinal. Laser just hung on the wall of the urinal and talked to Ari for the duration of him peeing and then just left the bathroom. Didn't pee. Just talked to Ari over his shoulder and forgot he had to pee and then just left. It was insane.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That is the actions of an everlasting cocaine addict if I've ever seen one. Just making sure you guys are urinating like he's some kind of probation officer or something like that. I mean, you're just using the bathroom for what it's actually for. I'll get out of here. What are you guys just urinating and washing your hands? You boring boys?
Uncle Laser
Nah, let's have some fun.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Come on.
Uncle Laser
Let me see that dick, boy. You know? No, but I, I, I told him. I said, hey, man, I got someone to say in this interview we know the same person. And she found it in the phone too. She hates her, but. So look, there's a girl that I know. There's a girl that I know that knows art, that loves Ari, all right? And I guess Ari curved her and this girl's used to get in her.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What does that mean, Curve?
Ari Matti
I don't know that either.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What's she sent him a.
Uncle Laser
A nude picture and he just thumbs up it. Now listen here, Tony, let me tell you something about stardom. You got it too. Red bend.it too. Joe's got it too. Mar's got you. Listen, we get all the time, all right? But listen, if a beautiful woman sends me a hot, sexy naked picture, I'm not going to thumbs up. Say, what kind of are you getting on the road? Oh, son, you're next level.
Joe DeRosa
That's, that's, that's assassin.
Uncle Laser
I know who he is. I seen his dick in the bathroom.
Joe DeRosa
That's a saying in Ari's country. The man that thumbs up to, it's a man of
Tony Hinchcliffe
that a two thumbs up.
Uncle Laser
You know what I'm talking about now?
Tony Hinchcliffe
No good.
Ari Matti
There's a few pictures. I just thumbs up. That's it. I didn't say anything.
Uncle Laser
Look, I. She just was crying the whole night. Solar.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Your girlfriend?
Uncle Laser
Not mine, the other girl. Just a girl that I knew.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Anyway, Laser is your girlfriend's still mad at you?
Uncle Laser
Yeah, but she's here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What do you do in a situation like that to make up for it? You're a very romantic guy. What do you do in a situation? A girl finds her phone, she unlocks it with your face. How do you start the healing process? Teach these American boys out there with a squawking eagle. Uncle Laser does to get out of the doghouse. You worked in oil fields. You know what you're doing. Explain to the children. Explain.
Uncle Laser
So I started taking testosterone.
Joe DeRosa
That is a terrible idea.
Uncle Laser
But look, that makes you really horny, right? Like a stiff, stiff breeze. I won't put my dick in an electrical socket.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That'll solve the problem. Keep going.
Uncle Laser
I'm only good at a couple things, Tony. Taking drugs and coming quick. One of them, two of them.
J.P. Hinsdale
Look, I'm go.
Uncle Laser
Look, I just like I'm going to therapy now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Here's the question. Let me remind you, a guy like you gets in the doghouse, right? You're on testosterone. Girlfriend's mad at you. What do you do? What's. Tony?
Uncle Laser
I grab her by the throat, I pick her up, and I put her through the drywall. And I said, legendary. I'm gonna be a star, baby. Either get on this grave train right now, or we can leave you on the corner with the man with the thumbs up.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, again, you're. You watch too much pro wrestling growing up. That's domestic violence. I'm asking you a genuinely real question.
Uncle Laser
No.
Hans Kim
Really?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yes. All right.
Joe DeRosa
I came here.
Uncle Laser
Look, baby, I'm not some regular 9 to 5. I'm living a different type of life. But look at me, Tony. I said, look, here's flower.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Answer the question.
Uncle Laser
I said, look, girl, I love you. There's no one else I want to be with. I'm on some. I'm a retard, I said. But at the end of the day. At the end of the day, it ain't who you want to spend Saturday night with. It's who you want to get Sunday brunch with.
Tony Hinchcliffe
See, that's what I was looking for. You could have said that two and a half minutes ago, and it would have been great at me for talking too much.
Uncle Laser
I love it, dude.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Great. I'll see you again in another four months.
Uncle Laser
Thank you, dude.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, Laser, fun times. Good stuff, Great stuff. Charismatic, likable Uncle Laser. Ari, Maddie has to go pee and to go text girls. Whose pictures he. Thumbs up, cleaning up mess. He's on damage control, right?
Joe DeRosa
I had to pee, too, and he took it from me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You want to go pee?
Joe DeRosa
Oh, wait, it's over.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We guys go pee together, and Uncle Laser can watch again. Okay, go ahead. It's all right. Your next comedian goes by the name of J.P. hinsdale, everybody. J.P. hinsdale. Oh, we know J.P. yeah, we put J.P. up in an arena once before. Make some noise. One more time for JP Hinsdale. Hey.
J.P. Hinsdale
Wow. Okay. I was in Galveston recently. Yeah, I went to the Gulf of America. I tried, okay? Like, I took 12 grams of mushrooms, and I stared out at the ocean. It was still brown. Dalvin came by and blew 10w30 out of her blowhole. Okay.
Joe DeRosa
Guess not.
J.P. Hinsdale
Oh, no. I watch the news a lot. I'm trying to look for the positive in everything, you know? It's cool. Like, I found out that, like, ICE is trying to be more progressive in their hiring practices. Have you guys heard about this? Yeah, there's a ICE has this new program, 31st. 30 for 30. They want 30 women officers by 20. 30. Oh, yeah. Way to go, ladies. You broke the glass ceiling.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. All right, jp. Sorry.
J.P. Hinsdale
That didn't go well.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It didn't. You're right.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's interesting.
J.P. Hinsdale
The time.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What?
J.P. Hinsdale
I misgau the time. Sorry.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No, it's okay. It had nothing to do with the time, really.
J.P. Hinsdale
Fair enough.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It was okay. It was an awkward start. Awkward ending. You had a. You had a thing. There's been a. It's also a very mushroom heavy set.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I mean, night.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And so, you know, that wasn't in your favor.
J.P. Hinsdale
No.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So, jp, how's life, buddy?
J.P. Hinsdale
Look at me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Killing it.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah. Literally.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Very rarely did one of the horn players turn on a bucket pole, but okay. All right, J.P. yeah. You're a very likable character. You've done good every other time you've ever been on this show. What do you think truly went wrong tonight?
J.P. Hinsdale
Couple newer jokes. Kind of having a little bit of a panic attack. I'm wet.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yep. It was raining earlier. There was, like, a better joke inside your Gulf of America joke.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah, it's a longer joke. It's.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It shouldn't be.
J.P. Hinsdale
It shouldn't be.
Tony Hinchcliffe
But it should be shorter.
J.P. Hinsdale
Shorter.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
J.P. Hinsdale
Okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. I think it's something like. I don't know. There's something like. They changed it from Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, but I think it should be called the Gulf of Mexico because it is brown.
J.P. Hinsdale
Oh, okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
See, if you said it with your charming style, I kind of wanted to try it to it. Do it just like that. Give them the right lighting. Kino. Do it. I want to see if it works.
J.P. Hinsdale
Okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Though they already know it, which makes it impossible. I think you could sell it.
J.P. Hinsdale
So went down to the Gulf of America now that we took it back. Yeah. Yeah. Used to be the Gulf of Mexico. I think we should call it the Gulf of Mexico again. It's really brown. You were right.
David Lucas
Yeah.
J.P. Hinsdale
You are the king.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And if they didn't know it what the punchline was coming. That would rip.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like a fart from you.
J.P. Hinsdale
Thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
In the middle of the night. You fart a lot. I bet you fart. You're like a hot air balloon.
J.P. Hinsdale
Not like an abnormal amount.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Normal amount.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah. I mean, I'm not extra flatuant, really. You know, but I.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You know, it's weird how that works.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah. I know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You would expect, like, that's a bigger chamber.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah. But I'm pretty buoyant, so it's like it all works out in a water.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you float?
J.P. Hinsdale
I float.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You ever float in the river here?
J.P. Hinsdale
Oh, yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You like it?
J.P. Hinsdale
Oh, yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You float?
J.P. Hinsdale
Oh, yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like an ice cube.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah. Like, you guys have me on the land, but I have you in the sea.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We're cooking.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. If you could compare yourself to any sea animal, what sea animal do you think you're most like? J.P. hinsdale?
J.P. Hinsdale
Manatee.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Now, why did you pick manatee there?
J.P. Hinsdale
Cause I'm friendly, and I keep getting damaged by motorboats.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Still got it. Got it. Still got it, jp. It's in there. It's right there on the surface. Well, you've been doing for fun, jp.
J.P. Hinsdale
For fun.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Other than mass amounts of mushrooms, everybody, tonight, it's like I'm performing. It's like we're doing a kill. Tony. Live from a rehab facility.
J.P. Hinsdale
I only do it every two weeks. Like, it's a. I can't take antidepressants and mood stabilizers and all the other things.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You take all that stuff?
J.P. Hinsdale
I can't.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You can't?
J.P. Hinsdale
No.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Correct.
J.P. Hinsdale
And I take 2 to 6 grams of mushrooms every two weeks, and it kind of. It makes the gloomies go away.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Perfect.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And you eat a lot.
J.P. Hinsdale
Not really. I'm just. I've been fat for a while. This was. This is not like.
Uncle Laser
This is.
J.P. Hinsdale
This is an accumulation of a lifetime of sadness. This isn't a merit. This isn't a sprint to the finish, like, at a buffet.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Why are you sad?
J.P. Hinsdale
That was like, we want to do this.
Joe DeRosa
No, I do not want.
J.P. Hinsdale
No, no, no, no. You don't need this kind of darkness, Joe.
Joe DeRosa
No. I've got enough in me already.
Uncle Laser
Yeah.
David Lucas
Yeah.
J.P. Hinsdale
I can see it in your eyes.
Joe DeRosa
Thank you. Yeah. The. The mushrooms make the gloomies go away every two weeks.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah. It's kind of the only system that I've figured out that works.
Joe DeRosa
But why do you not. Why are you against the antidepressants and stuff?
J.P. Hinsdale
It's not that I'm against them. I have. I have a. I just can't get
Joe DeRosa
them on a pizza.
J.P. Hinsdale
No, I have. Yeah, yeah. Papa John's let me down. No, I have traumatic brain injuries. It affects how the medication hits me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You have what? Injuries.
J.P. Hinsdale
Traumatic brain injuries.
Tony Hinchcliffe
From what?
J.P. Hinsdale
I've died twice, and I got hit in the head a lot as a kid, so.
Tony Hinchcliffe
When did you. How did you die? Twice.
J.P. Hinsdale
First time, my mom did it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, keep going. How did she do that?
J.P. Hinsdale
Well, like, she. I didn't know because it happened when I was three, but she kept telling people that I jumped off the couch playing Superman and hit my head against the marble table. And then I died when the ambulance got there. But it turns out I had night terrors and she didn't know what they were and she wanted me to shut the fuck up.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So what did she. She hit your head on against the table? Do you know she grabbed you and hit your head against the table?
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah. Yeah, I am the boy who lived.
Joe DeRosa
That's what's known as a late term abortion.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah. She chickened out, the end. She called 911. I give her a lot of shit for it now.
Joe DeRosa
You still talk to her?
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah. That ain't even. Even the worst thing she's ever done.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What was the worst thing she's ever done? I don't know.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What was it?
J.P. Hinsdale
It's not. It's. It's the. I'm still working that through therapy right now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
J.P. Hinsdale
It's complicated.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Let's avoid that. Let's talk about.
J.P. Hinsdale
I. I have a joke about it, but I don't. It is. I. I'm okay with part of it, but it's like, you know, not every room likes this joke.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Now we want to hear.
Uncle Laser
Yeah.
J.P. Hinsdale
All right. You asked for it, people. No. No. She says no. I don't want.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No one gives a shit what that bitch wants. Keep going, jp.
J.P. Hinsdale
All right, so I was groomed and molested from the age of 5 to the age of 15, which is a weird way of saying I peaked in high school.
Joe DeRosa
That's a great joke.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Who the.
J.P. Hinsdale
Now I have to get molested on my personality. And I have way too many strong opinions about Star Trek for that to happen.
Joe DeRosa
That's my joke.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Is this a stepdad or what was it?
J.P. Hinsdale
No, it was my mom's high school boyfriend.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah. She thought by him bonding with me, she'd get him back. It didn't work out.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God.
J.P. Hinsdale
I was more his type.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
J.P. Hinsdale
Honestly, the relationship lasted longer, too. I don't know. Maybe I'm a better person.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Five to 15 is a long time.
J.P. Hinsdale
I know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And it was like, all right, how'd you die the second time?
J.P. Hinsdale
Oh, I. I snorted what I thought was cocaine.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my goodness.
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What was it?
J.P. Hinsdale
Fentanyl.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. When was this?
J.P. Hinsdale
Three years ago.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Three years ago?
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God. Wow. And they brought you back using arcan?
J.P. Hinsdale
Yeah. If it was a real come to Jesus moment and he did not like me ODing on his couch.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. Do you remember anything from that? Do you remember what it's like any of those times being dead, do you remember seeing anything? A bright light? Were you in heaven? Were there, Was there snacks everywhere?
J.P. Hinsdale
I remember it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Were you in hell? A hot yoga studio?
J.P. Hinsdale
It was Jazzercise.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's amazing. You're so fucking funny on your feet tonight, jp. Yeah, and that said, it's just a testament to, you know, you got to be careful. This goes for all comedians, right, doing open mics. You can attest to this. You do so many shows and you're kind of like off of open mics now because you're getting booked everywhere. But there's something so dangerous about doing open mics because A, the comedians kind of don't want you to succeed and B, the audience, because they're at an open mic are fucking retards. They're retarded. They're at the, what, the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th best show in the city on any given night. So it gets tricky. You have to go with what you think is funny. And all the answers you gave tonight about real, actual questions and things in your life, even though you thought some of them won't work and that you shouldn't do it all crushed. Everything that you think is correct and working works. When you leave it to open mic audiences to decide. Open mics are good for working out mic technique and volume and pacing and changing and placement of things. But it's not always to completely the end all, be all decision maker of what's funny and what's not. And you were hilarious tonight. On your feet during the interview. And light on your feet, which is not easy to do when you're £620, Joe DeRosa.
Joe DeRosa
And I mean this dude, I mean this dude, you're a funny fucking dude, man. You bring a lot of joy to a lot of people. You have light in your fucking heart. You got light in your soul. I know you're battling some past demons. I know it's rough. But I'm going to tell you what Jim Jeffries said to me when I was at your spot in the game and I was struggling with mental shit, he was like, brother, reach out to me any fucking time and I'll talk to you about that shit. I'm saying that to you right now. You fucking reach out to me any fucking time you need, dude. Because I'm telling you, dude, you can't fight the fight on your own so much. Lean on somebody, man. I mean it, dude. I mean it. Don't let that dark shit suppress your light, man. You got a gift.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And one more exciting thing JP normally we give away spots. We've given away jobs on this show before. This is the first time ever that this has happened. J.P. your mom and you mending that relationship, it's. It's. It's unbelievable to me to find out that you had a mom who at least back then was so out of it and. And didn't get you that tonight, for the first time ever, right now, I'm giving you a new mom. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Joy Hinchcliffe, everybody. Kill Tony Legend. Give him a hug. JP Hinsdale. Stupid bottle of water. Go give him a hug. Go give him a hug. JP Hinsdale, the bottle of water. She needs to stay hydrated while making an appearance on stage. You are now. I hereby bestow you JP Hinchcliffe. Welcome to the family, JP thanks, brother. My mom will literally talk to you anytime you need a mom to talk to. She's 78 and bored out of her mind, and I'm way too successful and fun to talk to her. Now you can talk to her. She's free literally every hour of the day. There she goes. Joy Hinchcliffe, everybody. 78. My mom visiting from Youngstown, Ohio. Okay, there you go. Get off the stage now. Here's a little joke book. There you go. Can I just say that I'm blessed to have Tony as my son? Let the record show that's gayer than anything I've ever done before. My mom is gay, too. My mom's gay now. You know where I get it from? I have a gay mom. But seriously, I'll give you her info after this. You guys are gonna be. She's hilarious. You guys are gonna be friends. That's your new mom. New mom. J.P. hinsdale, big joke book. There you go. Boom. Right in the bread basket. The first ever comedian to win a new mom. There she goes. Get back to your seat, you little show stealer. Really milking it. Really, really likes the spotlight. She's used to it. Only mom on the show history to do a set an appearance on panel and now be bestowed upon a new comedian. Ari, Maddie's about to do a joke about how he wants to. My mom. Go ahead, do it. Strike me down. Kill your master.
Ari Matti
I mean, how long is she in town?
Tony Hinchcliffe
She's the Gemini. All right, ladies and gentlemen, your final bucket pull of the night. Goes by the name of Zach Black. This looks like a new name. Zach Black. Here he is. One more time for Zach Black, everybody.
Zach Black
Hell yeah. I went to Home Depot today to pick up a lawnmower. Man, it's gonna be a shame when Trump sends him back. Over the next four years, price of eggs might go down, but the price of lawn care is going way up. I'll tell you, if you're ever shopping for an immigrant, get there early. I got there late last week. The good ones go quick. There was only one left in stock, one Guatemalan standing there with a paintbrush and a rake. I'll come back. Texas is great for everybody, although it is still a little segregated by city. Dallas is for white people, Houston's for black people, San Antonio's for Mexicans, and Austin's for. And if you're half black and half white, Corpus Christi. If you're half white and half Mexican, El Paso. But if you're half black and half a. I'm sorry, you have to leave Texas and go back to Atlanta.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Zach.
Ryan Igler
Black.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Good stuff, Zach.
Zach Black
What up, Tony?
Tony Hinchcliffe
How are you, buddy? How long you been on stand up again?
Zach Black
Seven years.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right, seven years. A lot of that in la, right?
Zach Black
No, from Buffalo, New York.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Buffalo.
Zach Black
I've told you that before, but I'm actually from a very small town outside of Buffalo. Edge of a cornfield type shit. I just say Buffalo here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. When did I meet you here?
Mushroom Mat
Yep.
Tony Hinchcliffe
At Vulcan.
Zach Black
Yeah, I worked here for like a year and a half.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's right.
Zach Black
Yeah. But then I don't. I just wasn't paying the bills, so I got a real job again.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What's your real job?
Zach Black
Well, I quit here to work construction, but then I got fired for an Instagram reel. So I made a fake bartending resume two months ago. Now I bartend.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Love it. What was the. What was the reel that got you in trouble?
Zach Black
It was just a selfie video. I was just talking about. I work with, you know, Mexicans and I learned a lot of Spanish and I said that Punta madre means project manager.
Tony Hinchcliffe
There it is.
Zach Black
And they fired me. They fired me and then they asked me to take down the reel. I was like, well, you did that in the wrong order.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, that's very true. They did. Was it worth it?
Joe DeRosa
Yeah. Where was it that you got fired from?
Zach Black
No, that was a construction job. Apartment complex up in North Austin.
Joe DeRosa
Okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Was it worth making the reel?
Uncle Laser
Kind of.
Zach Black
I was really happy because it was like my first successful reel and like two weeks of the great and then fired. So, yeah, it was kind of worth it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I guess they just stumbled across it or did you show a co workers.
Zach Black
They saw it organically. Dude saw it on his algorithm. The owner of the company.
Uncle Laser
Wow.
Zach Black
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe DeRosa
They're like, all your co workers have been liking this reel of yours, sharing it around town.
Zach Black
We looked him up and, yeah, I never met him before.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What's it like? Explain to the people what it's like lying on your resume that you're a bartender and then all of a sudden being thrown to the wolves at an actual bartender tending shift at an actual bar. Is the bar busy?
Zach Black
I'm sure it's not that busy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, okay.
Zach Black
It was, like, the only one that would hire me. I went to a bunch of job interviews, and they were like, what's in a martini? And I was like, I have no clue.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You said that.
Zach Black
I tried to lie. I was like, gin. That type of thing. And they were like, it's not going to work. But then this bar, they didn't ask that many questions.
Ari Matti
And that's how every bartender gets dropped, by the way.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yes, you lie.
Zach Black
Yeah, you have.
Ari Matti
That's how I've gotten every job in my life.
Ryan Igler
I lie.
Zach Black
Yeah, it's going all right. At the beginning. It's been like two months at the beginning. They would, like, order, I don't know, a Manhattan, and I'd be like, yeah, no problem. And I would Google it real quick. And now I'm good.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, why not?
Zach Black
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. What do you do for fun, Zach Black? What would surprise us about your life? The last guy is a morbidly obese, adorable baby boy that got molested from 5 to 15. Try to compete with that.
Zach Black
I will try to compete with that. I never talk about this, and most of my friends have no idea, but I actually don't have a right shoulder because of a football injury. No right deltoid since I was 15 years old. What, and nobody notices? You can't really tell, but I think about it about every 30 seconds every day of my life.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Does it hurt?
Zach Black
It's kind of numb. It doesn't really hurt.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I could kind of see it now that you. Is it shorter pat?
Zach Black
No, no, just a baggy.
Ari Matti
Yeah, that is a bitch ass shoulder.
Ryan Igler
Hey.
Zach Black
Yeah.
Joe DeRosa
I mean, I can say as a man with no shoulders, you got off easy.
Zach Black
Joe Drones. All neck.
Joe DeRosa
All right, take it easy, Zach. I was trying to bond with you. Fucking cunt.
Zach Black
Yeah, I never really thought of a way to make it funny. I think about writing a joke about it all the time. And I ne. I've been on this show a few times. I never brought it up, but I figured it. That's what you want to hear about, don't you?
Tony Hinchcliffe
No shoulder Up.
Zach Black
Not that good also. That's why I didn't want to bring it up. This is not that crazy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
John D. Wants to see it. Is it. Does it look different?
Zach Black
It's just zero muscle.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Kind of pull your shirt for a second. That way.
Joe DeRosa
It looks like you have a. I can't tell.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's not that bad. The last. The last guy had his mom. Slammed his head against a coffee table when he was killing. This guy's like a football injury. My shoulder kind of looks different.
Zach Black
You can tell. If I had my shirt off, you could tell?
Joe DeRosa
Yeah. Can we see it? Let's see it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, Derosa's just drunk enough to want to see it.
David Lucas
Look at this.
Tony Hinchcliffe
This guy. Hey, what's up, you pig boy? Hey, why do they keep calling Derosa a pig? Fast forward two hours. Take your shirt off, dude. Wow. An American patriot. We're finding out not only what his shoulders look like, but also who he voted for in the last election. Incredible. The right candidate anyway.
Joe DeRosa
Yeah. When you escape from the prison in Cape Fear, you can tell the big time.
Zach Black
It's, like, kind of embarrassing. You can.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God. The liver prince is here. Everybody.
Zach Black
Keep that off.
Tony Hinchcliffe
This guy eats hard boiled eggs during the day. Were you. Did you. Were you in the military?
Zach Black
No. People asked me that. Just jacked.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Zach Black
I couldn't go in the military. Not fit for service with the shoulder. And I had heart surgery. Got two metal clamps on my heart.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What. What happened there? What do you have?
Zach Black
That was when I was five years old. Just something didn't connect. Blood wasn't getting oxygen.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Baboon heart. That's why he's the sound effect guy. Ladies and gentlemen, Baboon heart has entered the chat. That's why he hits buttons for a living, everyone. For. He said baboon heart. All right, Zach Black, you already have a big joke. Oh, he's gotta pop in his in real quick.
Ari Matti
I love how he put back on, but not the shirt. I love that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Is that a Lucy Breaker or a Zen?
Zach Black
It's actually a Velo because they're the cheapest.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
Joe DeRosa
Zach, why are you so nervous? You're shaking and. But you're a confident dude, man. Like, why are you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Shoulder, man. Yeah.
Joe DeRosa
I'm not busting your balls. I'm really asking.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I don't know.
Zach Black
Just a little nervous. I'm just shaking. I'm just energy. I'm not that nervous.
Joe DeRosa
But you got kind of nervous, dude.
Zach Black
Been a while. Been a while since I've been on this show.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yep.
Joe DeRosa
Great.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's been a while since I have.
Joe DeRosa
When do you do back on the set of American History X.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Here's a big joke book, buddy. Congratulations. Thank you. There he goes. Zach Black. All right. To end tonight's show, ladies and gentlemen, William Montgomery can only write 20 seconds per week. It's very hard for him. So he cannot make it tonight. Ari, Maddie is on panel. David Lucas opened the show, which means there's only one real option to close a show like this. A kill Tony legend, who we haven't seen in months. If you know the lyrics to his introduction song, now is the time. Time to sing it. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Hans Camp.
Michael Gonzalez
Hey.
Hans Kim
Glad you had no one else left.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Good to be here.
Hans Kim
I just got back from Asia, if you couldn't tell. Thank you. Konnichiwa. Yeah, just got back from Asia. It's great being in Asia. I can unlock every iPhone on that continent. I love being back in America. Love America. Love having that gun. Now I can get into arguments at the mall. Can't wait till we get rid of Di. Soon Harvard is going to be all Asian. It's not going to be called LinkedIn anymore. It's going to be called Chinked in. I met a guy from Lebanon recently. I didn't know that was a place. I thought it was Qanon for lesbians. All right, well, that's my time. Thank you guys very much.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hans Kim. Hans Kim. Hans Kim. That was Hans Kim. That was Hans Kim. That was Hans Kim. That was Hans Kim. Still got it. Crisp delivery, star power. You look like a absolute dictator. Incredible stage presentation. I mean, absolutely amazing for you to make that yourself and then dry clean it yourself and then wear it yourself. Absolutely amazing. People can do. This is Joe Deros.
Joe DeRosa
Can I correct just one of your jokes?
Hans Kim
I love it.
Joe DeRosa
It's not going to be called LinkedIn anymore. It's going to be called Rington.
Hans Kim
Rington.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I disagree. I say lean into the slur.
Joe DeRosa
Well, you speak from experience.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Right there on that. That spot on this stage. I said that word. Everybody freak. Now, Hans Kim, tell us what's been going on.
Hans Kim
I went to Asia with my girlfriend and her three friends. It was a nightmare.
Tony Hinchcliffe
O, my God. Three girlfriends, three of her friends that
Hans Kim
I wasn't allowed to have sex with. And then.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right, so it's your girlfriend and three of her girl female friends.
Hans Kim
Yeah, and me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right, Yeah, I got that part, Hans. So you her and three. So it's you plus four. And it's your girlfriend and her friends who clearly your girlfriend's entertaining and hanging out with while just making sure you're not cheating on her.
Joe DeRosa
Yeah.
Uncle Laser
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How did that go? Tell us about it. Give us some, like, actual details, like
Hans Kim
sex in the city. I had a great time. We went to Disneyland. We went to Universal, whatever there.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You did American over there.
Hans Kim
Yeah.
Ari Matti
I mean, did you pay for everything?
Hans Kim
I paid for like 30% of it, yeah.
Michael Gonzalez
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hans is famously cheap. A little fun fact is that the regulars on this show tend to be very, very, very cheap people. Not Ari, Matty, not David Lucas, but William and Hans notoriously miser Esque.
Ari Matti
So you paid for 30% of the trip, but you only 25%.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And we know that must have been.
Hans Kim
Yeah, I need like an over the pants hand job or something.
Mushroom Mat
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So those girls, they paid for their flights, for their hotels and stuff?
Zach Black
Stuff, Yeah.
Hans Kim
I paid for some of the dinners. You know, it's not like they paid for any of the dinners. So, like, I feel like I was a positive contribution, you know?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Did you bring that up to your girlfriend at all after you did it? Were you like, hey, I paid for dinner for you and your friends?
Hans Kim
I mean, then it kind of loses the appeal of the nice thing that I did.
Tony Hinchcliffe
But I. I know. That's why I asked you. And I will repeat the question. Let me remind you, it's a yes or no question. Did you mention it to your girlfriend verbally, like, hey, I did pay for dinner for you and your friends.
Hans Kim
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
There you go. Thank you. Just making sure there were.
Joe DeRosa
You're like that. 1175 really set me back here in Asia. It's cheap. Go off.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I. It's.
Joe DeRosa
It's an affordable country. Is my point continent. I don't know. I'm not here for facts, people. I'm just here to jump in with a zinger here and there. I never said I was well read.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do it. Do a zinger.
Joe DeRosa
I got a good zinger, folks. It's not gonna be called LinkedIn anymore. It's gonna be called Rinkton.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you get it?
Joe DeRosa
Folks, listen, food is cheap in Asia.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How cheap is it? How cheap is it?
Joe DeRosa
A dinner for four would only cost you $11.75.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So silly. Hans, what else, buddy? You look fantastic. You look like your own mother and grandmother right now. It is incredible. Strong female energies while being a very masculine boy.

Podcast: KILL TONY
Venue: Vulcan Gas Company, Austin, Texas
Special Guests: Joe DeRosa, Ari Matti
Returning for an old-school, wild night at the grungy Vulcan Gas Company, Kill Tony #724 is a raucous, raw slice of the Austin comedy scene. Tony Hinchcliffe and Brian Redban invite heavyweight comedy guests Joe DeRosa ("the Dirty Pig") and Estonian expat Ari Matti ("the Estonian Assassin") to judge a parade of standup hopefuls, bicker, and riff their way through stories of addiction, trauma, dating, sobriety, and the endless hustle of comedy. Regulars and upstarts alike flood the stage for a show that careens between roast battles, emotional confessions, and off-the-rails absurdity.
Episode #724 is a wild patchwork of heartbreak and hilarity, blistering honesty and brutal roast—offering a full display of the comedy world’s grit, pain, and redemption. With Tony, Redban, DeRosa, and Matti at the helm, the night is more than standup: it’s therapy, roast, game show, and open mic for souls as much as comics. The community’s support shines after the punchline.
"You bring a lot of joy to a lot of people. Don't let that dark shit suppress your light." — Joe DeRosa ([103:37])
