That's where we talk about Ignito. Incredible. Incognito. And To Covis. To Covis. That's a fun word to say. To Covis. Sounds like something Dean Madness got at a rubbing tug. We're really doing it, Red Band. Oh, my God. Are you ready to start the show tonight or what? You know, for the last 12 years, I've been booking this show. And when I say, tonight might be the best fucking show I've ever seen, what I mean by that is it might be the best fucking show you've ever seen.

We've had guy, girl, black, jew, crutches, wheelchair, fat, gay, not gay, people who lost their socks at the hotel. Every type of person.

Show Announcer / Host
These guys have been on the show before. You know how it works.
Ari Shaffir
What a crowd tonight, Ari.
Show Announcer / Host
What a crowd. What a crowd every Monday.
Ari Shaffir
Tony, you are exuding just a pure heterosexual energy I've never felt from you before.
Show Announcer / Host
I did six push ups in the alley. Let's cut to a clip. We don't have it. You guys know how this show works. Over 200 innocent souls have written their names down for the opportunity to get plucked out. Unbeknownst to them, they come on this stage to do stand up comedy for 60 seconds of uninterrupted fun. They know their time's up when they hear the sound of a kitten. They know. God fucking damn it, Redman. It's okay. Fuck it, we'll do it live. 60 seconds of uninterrupted stand up comedy. They'll know their time's up when they hear the sound of a kitten. That'll let them know it's time. How many? It might be multiple kittens, depending on what red band's doing. They'll know their time's up when they hear the sound of a kitten. If not, they're gonna. They're held.
Ari Shaffir
Jesus, Ryan.
Show Announcer / Host
Angry west hollywood bear. That'll let them know their time is definitely up. And then we will conduct an interview. We'll all talk to them and we'll hear about their lives. What they're up to what their love life's like, if they have any hobbies and all that stuff. And they'll get feedback from the great Ari Shaffir and Mark Norman. One more time for the great Ari Sh. Guys want to start the show off? Pick a couple of names for me. Just one. Just one. Don't be greedy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Just one.
Show Announcer / Host
Don't be like Red Band at the buffet. Just one. Are you guys ready to start tonight's fucking show or what? Tonight's show, we are starting with a golden ticket winner. The newest golden ticket winner. Someone who's only been on the show once, once before. This is their second time performing on Kill Tony live at the Mothership. Ladies and gentlemen, I present the return of Charlie Mac.
Fuzzy
Austin.
Charlie Mac
We keeping it weird, yo. I love it here. Like, Austin has some of the most beautiful dykes I've ever seen. Now dykes don't get enough credit. Sir, would you ever fuck a dyke? No. You don't like gently used coochie? I used to say, I never fuck a dyke. Never. Where I'm from, we call them studs. And I looked on Facebook and it said studs was an acronym. Yes. S T U, D, S stand for steel titties under that shirt. I said that at my last show. One of them studs got mad. She jumped up, said, it don't stand for that. It stand for slanging this unreal dick, sir. And then she got mad and told her little dyke friend he think he funny. Go to the truck and get the strap. So first I was scared she was getting a gun. Then I started praying she was getting a gun. Cause if strap is short for strap on. Different conversation. I got scared, like, excuse me, mister, ma', am, please don't get the big black nine. Cause it might be inches or a millimeter. I don't know. Thank you.

He works here. Well, let him decide. It's 2025 Red Band. He might be a guy tonight and a woman in the morning. Please give it up for Fuzzy, everybody.
Fuzzy
I believe the best superpower is the ability to freeze time because you're in control. You got to remember, they don't want you to have super superpowers. They, the Jews do not want you to have. But when you freeze time, you're in control. And the perks are motherfucking sweet. Everyone here would do the same thing immediately. We're going to the bank. We'd all do it. Come on. You'd go to the bank, you'd see the teller, you'd wait for her to open up the vault, freeze time.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And then. Honk, honk, honk, honk, honk.
Mark Norman
Holy shit.
Fuzzy
And then you'd leave the bank. Oh, and if you're a girl, you can look through his phone. Whatever the fuck you guys want to do. I don't give a fuck. Thank you guys so much.
Show Announcer / Host
Oh, my God, Fuzzy. Great job. Fuzzy, how long have you looked like you go to Sesame street begging the Muppets for change?
Fuzzy
All my life. Hey, one time for Tony fucking Hinchcliffe, everybody.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Come on.
Show Announcer / Host
Okay.
Ari Shaffir
You make me look not Jewish.
Mark Norman
You look like Muzzy.
Fuzzy
Fuzzy the Muzzy. Hey, are there any Indians in here?
Ari Shaffir
And they're not allowed in Rogan.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Good. Pakistan forever. Oh,
Mark Norman
all right, all right. Easy, easy.
Show Announcer / Host
You know it's going great when you scream at the end of your set. Fuzzy, how long you been doing stand up comedy?
Fuzzy
Five years.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Years.
Show Announcer / Host
Five years. What's your favorite thing about it?
Mark Norman
Drive an Uber.
Fuzzy
Probably the dick. Probably all the dick I'm getting.
Ari Shaffir
You okay?
Mark Norman
You okay, gay man?
Fuzzy
Nah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh.
Show Announcer / Host
What would be the first thing you'd do if you were gay, Fuzzy, now that we're here?
Fuzzy
I'd suck your dick and try to become a regular, probably so.
Show Announcer / Host
Get in line. Unbelievable.
Ari Shaffir
Fuzzy. You treating those cancer spots in your forehead at all or just letting it ride?
Fuzzy
Just let it ride, dude. This shit's almost over anyways. I think got like two months or something like that.

Ari Shaffir
How big is your vest?
Fuzzy
Bigger than Tony's.
Show Announcer / Host
Nothing, red man. Perfect. You're a rubber ducky, Fuzzy.

Ari Shaffir
Whoa, whoa. Chill, bro. He's allowed. He's allowed.

Show Announcer / Host
Give him a chance.
Fuzzy

Ari Shaffir
The laughing like. You can't get any.
Fuzzy
You're here with a guy.
Show Announcer / Host
Oh, my God. Got him.
Fuzzy
You look like you like dick in your mouth.
Show Announcer / Host
Okay, okay, okay.
Fuzzy
Life's good, love Life is good. Dude, I've been fucking.

Fuzzy

Chi.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What's chi?
Fuzzy
Now? Chi is your semen.
Mark Norman
Whoa. There we go.
Fuzzy
And it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So you know about chi?
Show Announcer / Host
I love chi, but I also love pad Thai. Fuzzy.
Ari Shaffir
Fuzzy. I would drop the chi and go with Chia Pet on that head because that is a level of bald I've never seen before.
Tony Hinchcliffe

He worked with me two times. He killed both times. He worked with me here. He fucking crushes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Quick.
Show Announcer / Host
Quick.
Francisco Rincon
He's.
Show Announcer / Host
So everyone here at the mothership is being groomed too.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You son of a bitch.
Show Announcer / Host
Oh, my God. Un.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Fucking believable. I finally. I finally work hard enough and save up enough money to buy my own clone of myself, and then you lock me inside of my own closet and try to host my show.
Show Announcer / Host
You got it?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Who's ready for the best fucking night of their lives? I gotta tell you, I heard a little bit of those interviews they were dragging back there. Could really hear the wheels turning on you. And I didn't realize my clone would sweat more than me. It's not easy, is it? Clone to kill Cloney.
Ari Shaffir
Tony Hinchcliffe and Tony Hinchcliffe.
Mark Norman
By the way, Dwight, it really is Pride month.
Show Announcer / Host
This is what we call a Mark Norman wet dream.
Tony Hinchcliffe
This is kill to me. The only thing better than one of me is two of me. And now back to the show. All right. Oh, you have.
Show Announcer / Host
I made a couple notes.
Mark Norman
Puerto Rico's not gonna like this.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh. Oh, my God. All right, back to the bucket we go. I'm very excited to be here.
Ari Shaffir
Just finding out that's not you. I thought the whole time.
Charlie Mac
I don't.
Tony Hinchcliffe
This is an extra fun episode, if you ask me. Who books this shit?
Show Announcer / Host
Do I look good smoking a cigarette, by the way?
Tony Hinchcliffe
I don't say my S's like that, by the way. It's not a thicker ass. I don't smoke thicker ass. Back to the bucket we go. Make some noise for your next comedian. Doing an uninterrupted 60 seconds. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Friends. Fisko, Rincon.
Francisco Rincon
Shut up. This guy was like, don't trip. It's fine. I'm gonna fuck your mom later after I clean her house. I am from Puerto Rico. No, I'm not. I'm one of the good ones. Happy Pride month to this guy mainly. But, yeah, I don't know. A couple years ago, I was watching the gay news, cnn. I don't know if you guys hear Pope Francis. He said, RIP Pope Francis. A couple years ago, he said, if you're gay, you can get married now and you will no longer burn in hell. It's a real thing. I don't know if you guys heard about this, but it made me think. It made me wonder what was going to happen to the gay guys that were previously burning in hell. Do they make it fair? Do they make an announcement on there? Are they like, excuse me. If you're here and you're gay, make yourself to the lobby. We have great news. What do they do?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Francisco Rincon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back to the show. Francisco, we've seen you multiple times before.
Francisco Rincon
One time before.
Mark Norman
Yes.
Francisco Rincon
Killed Tony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You've only been on the show once.
Francisco Rincon
Once, two years ago.
Aldo Caldo
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What makes me think you've been on a couple times?
Francisco Rincon
You've probably seen me on Rose Bottle.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Yes, I saw you on rose bottle. I love it. So you're not Puerto Rican. You said you're one of the good ones. What is one of the good ones?
Francisco Rincon
Mexican. Mexico.
Benjamin Grell
Mexico. Go.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Francisco Rincon
Actually, Tony, I am.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Go ahead.
Francisco Rincon
Sorry. I am from Venezuela.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, wow. Okay.
Charlie Mac
Why boo?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Why boo?
Show Announcer / Host
What?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Why boo?
Neil Rubenstein
It's gonna.
Francisco Rincon
Look, I'm here to tell you guys, despite what you hear on the news, that all Venezuelans are criminals. I'm here to tell you that we are criminals. But I know. I am from Venezuela, but, you know, Venezuelans, we've been getting a bad rep, right? So, like, when I moved to Texas about 10 years ago, they would be like, are you from Mexico? And I would be like, no, that's gross. You know? And now they are like, are you from Venezuela? And I'm like, no, I'm from Mexico. But yeah. All right.
Show Announcer / Host
Have you always looked like Adam Ray with aids?
Mark Norman
Yeah. You throw a vest on? We got a third Tony here.
Show Announcer / Host
Un. Fucking believable.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Francisco, what have you been up to since the last time we saw you? Give us something good.
Show Announcer / Host
What's going on?
Francisco Rincon
Oh, man. Living life, you know. Not to brag or anything, but I got. It's funny because last time I did the show, I had just recently gotten fired and I just got fired again.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow, look at you.
Francisco Rincon
I know.
Mike Holloway
Look at you.
Show Announcer / Host
What'd you get fired from?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hey. That's what I was gonna ask. You're a fucking genius. And you're extremely good looking.
Show Announcer / Host
Thanks.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Me. Wait, what was that? What was that?
Show Announcer / Host
I smoke a lot of cigarettes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I don't do that. I don't do that. Do I do that? No, I don't.
Mark Norman
Easy.
Show Announcer / Host
Steve Urkel.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Good one, me. All right. Where did you get fired from?
Francisco Rincon
I'm not going to say a company name, but I was working as a engineer. Remote sales engineer. It was really.
Tony Hinchcliffe
They fired you? Why will you not say the name?
Ari Shaffir
Is it because you can't say engineer.
Francisco Rincon
In my language? That sounded like the N word, but yeah, I don't know if I'm going to have to look for another job, so I don't want to throw these guys under. Under the bus, you know?
Ari Shaffir
Hey, can I just tell you real quick, if you have to. If you got fired, you are going to have to find another job.
Show Announcer / Host
That's how it works.
Ari Shaffir
That's how it works.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No doubt about it.
Show Announcer / Host
No doubt about it.
Francisco Rincon
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No.
Candace August
Well,
Show Announcer / Host
no doubt about.
Tony Hinchcliffe
About it. Francisco, What. What's your love life like? You're a good looking guy. You seem like you should be doing good out There for. For yourself.
Ari Shaffir
Bet you fuck.
Francisco Rincon
What?
Mark Norman
Did he say?
Ari Shaffir
I bet you fuck.
Francisco Rincon
Oh, yeah. No, no, I'm doing. I'm doing all right. I'm not. I got. I got lucky a couple weeks ago. I. That's what I like about Austin. Lots of beautiful Mexican girls here in Austin. And. Yeah, so I went down on this girl from San Antonio.
Show Announcer / Host
How long did you go down on her for?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Give us an exact time frame.
Show Announcer / Host
Morning, night, lunch.
Francisco Rincon
Over.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Over. Under 25 minutes.
Francisco Rincon
It was a good time. It was a fun time. It tasted like Takis.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What?
Show Announcer / Host
Like what?
Francisco Rincon
Sometimes I don't even understand myself, man. I'm sorry. I. Yeah, I had a dream in English last night. I don't even know what I said.
Mark Norman
All right, we gotta deport you.
Francisco Rincon
Yeah, yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yep. No doubt about it.
Show Announcer / Host
No doubt about it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We're sending you back to Venezuela. Well, well, Francisco, what size joke book did you get last time you were on the show?
Francisco Rincon
A big one, but it's fine.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, guess what, buddy? I got new.
Show Announcer / Host
Sweet buddy. You get a small one this time. Catch.
Tony Hinchcliffe
There you go. Wow.
Ari Shaffir
Oh.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Throws it back into the crowd. It's like. That's a thing. It's like when you get a baseball hit to you from the opposing team and the. And the person that catches it throws
Show Announcer / Host
it back onto the field.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's. You're.
Show Announcer / Host
You're good.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You're real good. All right, all right. Let's keep this thing.
Show Announcer / Host
Let's do it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Moving along. Oh, that's an unlit cigarette. But me, I am out of control tonight. Make some noise for your next bucket, Pool Mike. Haul away.
Mike Holloway
I don't think everyone who has a cat also throws trash on the floor and calls it a toy. But I do think everyone who throws trash on the floor and calls it a toy also has a cat. I don't think everyone who eats blue cheese also has a foot fetish,
Show Announcer / Host
but
Mike Holloway
I do think everyone with the Foot Fighters also eats blue cheese. I don't think everyone who drinks lemonade is also a pedophile, but I do think everyone who's a pedophile also drinks lemonade. I don't think everyone who's the victim of pedophilia is also a Disney adult, but I. You guys get it.
Benjamin Grell
How's it going?
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. That was fun.
Show Announcer / Host
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Mike Holloway, this is your first time on the show?
Mike Holloway
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. How long you been doing standup?
Mike Holloway
Kind of five years, but more like 3. Cause of breaks from COVID and being broke.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Ari Shaffir
Covid was over five years ago.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Are you still broke?
Mike Holloway
Well, I did.
Show Announcer / Host
He's not wrong.
Mike Holloway
I did, like, one or two mics before COVID I know.
Ari Shaffir
The whole Lincoln years. I had to take off.
Mike Holloway
I'm bad at counting. I'm bad at counting. Sorry.
Show Announcer / Host
The OJ Trial really fucked up my schedule. Okay, okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What do you do for work? You work in, like, a. I'm getting aquarium vibes. Like, you work with pets of some kind?
Show Announcer / Host
Two fun facts about dolphins. Go.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Let's just. Let's go one question at a time.
Mike Holloway
Dolphins rape a lot.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, there you go. That's the one they answer. What do you do for work?
Mike Holloway
I doordash right now. I just moved here two weeks ago.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So did you save money from another job?
Mike Holloway
Kind of.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What was the other job?
Mike Holloway
Amazon delivery.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Amazon. You see, I thought with aquarium. There's fish in an aquarium. There's also fish in the Amazon. I did it again. Genius. All right, all right. Anyway, so how much money did you save exactly? I love people. People in interviews and podcasts, they never ask questions like this.
Show Announcer / Host
They never do.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'm obsessed with a question like, how much money did you save before finding a job where you move to drumroll. Nope. No drumroll. No drumroll. There's two hosts here. None of them asked for a drum roll. How much did you save?
Mike Holloway
500.
Tony Hinchcliffe
$500?
Show Announcer / Host
Holy. Holy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What are you. What are you gonna do? Are you in your car right now?
Mike Holloway
Technically, I'm. I. I'm camping at a campsite, so I paid for squatter. Technically, I'm not homeless.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you have a tent?
Mike Holloway
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So you sleep in a tent?
Mike Holloway
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Where do you shower at the campsite? There's shower. Outdoor showers?
Mike Holloway
No, it's indoor, like a koa. What's a ko?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Is that.
Show Announcer / Host
The fuck is that Ari?
Ari Shaffir
What's a koa?
Show Announcer / Host
Some Jewish shit.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What is that? Not. Not all of us. Not all of us take world vacations and camp all the time. Some of us are trying to change people's lives out here.
Mark Norman
They know about camps.
Tony Hinchcliffe
But.
Mark Norman
That's the second camp, too.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Especially the showers at those camps.
Ari Shaffir
Some of the showers are decent at those camps. It's just the one or two were, like, real bad.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So explain to us. Explain to the people. People are watching all around the world. You came to Austin in Texas with $500. How do you plan on surviving? What are you eating? Take us through, like, your actual life.
Mike Holloway
I go to heb.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Uhhuh.
Mike Holloway
And I get a pack of three steaks for, like, eight to twelve dollars.
Show Announcer / Host
Okay.
Mike Holloway
And I get some corn on the cob. Fresh corn on the cob. Oh, for like 33 cents a piece.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Where do you shove the corn on the cob?
Mike Holloway
In tinfoil and in the coals.
Ari Shaffir
Does the corn.
Mike Holloway
And I got potatoes, too.
Ari Shaffir
Corn ever get stuck in that massive gap between your.
Mike Holloway
All the time.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, yeah. Look at that old corn catcher you got there. Look at that.
Ari Shaffir
Did your mom hate dentists?
Show Announcer / Host
How many times do you shower a week?
Ari Shaffir
Good question, Tony.
Show Announcer / Host
Exactly.
Mike Holloway
Time I come into the city.
Show Announcer / Host
Okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. Okay.
Mike Holloway
Every time I come to comedy, I.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Very interesting.
Mark Norman
So this is your first shower?
Mike Holloway
No.
Show Announcer / Host
Oh, and is it easy to make friends at the camp, the campgrounds, what?
Tony Hinchcliffe
I hate the questions I'm asking.
Show Announcer / Host
Is it easy?
Tony Hinchcliffe
It really leads to absolutely nowhere. Yes or no questions don't really work on the show. Let me ask you this.
Ari Shaffir
I think you're cool. You got an outsider vibe. You got a real fucking manifesto. You're like a manifesto Crystal guy.
Benjamin Grell
Appreciate that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What is the craziest thing that you've ever almost done? Like, you seem like you've had some thoughts cooking, like, some. You've read like a How to make a bomb book or something before.
Mike Holloway
Oh, yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, so now it's your turn to answer the actual question.
Mike Holloway
Back in high school.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. You did what?
Mike Holloway
I read the Anarchist.
Show Announcer / Host
Okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Other than the thing that I said that you did, you get to use your entire life right now as a reference point. What's the weirdest or most criminal thing you've ever almost done? Not the one that I fucking guessed, but you're like, yeah, I did do that. I'm asking your whole life, did you ever think about.
Mike Holloway
Several times I almost drove the Amazon truck off a bridge.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Show Announcer / Host
Okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Now take us through this. Exactly. First of all, were there a lot of packages in the Amazon truck?
Show Announcer / Host
That's why I didn't get my vest.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, so good. Okay, so did you really think about it? You thought about driving the Amazon truck off a bridge?
Mike Holloway
Oh, yeah, I thought about it.
Show Announcer / Host
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. And how were you going to do. Were you gonna kind of like go to the bridge and then hard right, turn off of the ledge, or were you gonna kind of like take it at an angle? What was your plan?
Mike Holloway
No, I was gonna. It was an ev. So it's really got some acceleration. So, yeah, I was gonna get it going and then just crank the wheel and jump out the window. Jump out the door.
Ari Shaffir
Oh, you weren't gonna kill yourself. You weren't gonna, like.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, I thought about that too. I did. Oh, wait a second.
Francisco Rincon
Second.
Tony Hinchcliffe
This is treason.
Mike Holloway
I did for A second. But then I was like, I can jump out.
Ari Shaffir
Yeah, I like it. You're just Bezos over, not yourself.
Neil Rubenstein
Yeah.
Ari Shaffir
Yeah, I'm all right with that.
Mike Holloway
Bezos.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So you were just gonna selfishly drop a bunch of people's packages in the water? Unbelievable.
Show Announcer / Host
Unbelievable.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, what's the other craziest thing about your life? Mike, give us something good here. Other than almost driving an Amazon thing. What's a fun fact about your life? Did you have a weird childhood? Were you molested? A lot of pedophile jokes?
Mike Holloway
No, I wasn't molested. I did have a weird childhood, though. I moved around a lot.
Ari Shaffir
Molestings.
Mike Holloway
I was a fat kid and a nerdy kid and the new kid all the time. So I got picked on a lot.
Show Announcer / Host
What was the meanest thing? Somebody was.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Sorry, Shut the.
Show Announcer / Host
I'm fucking talking. What was the meanest thing somebody ever said to you at school?
Mike Holloway
I don't remember. I said a lot of mean shit too, because I would. I would basically. For the. To deal with bullies, I would basically, like, roast them. I didn't know the term back then, but I would roast them. And then, like, if they put hands on me, then I would, like, just go full out, like, right away.
Mark Norman
So you. You killed a kid?
Charlie Mac
No.
Mark Norman
Oh.
Mike Holloway
Beat the crap out of a couple.
Mark Norman
You look like the bad kid in Toy Story. Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God.
Show Announcer / Host
You do the neighbor. Yeah.
Benjamin Grell
Sid.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Sid, Sid, Sid, Sid, Sid, Sid, Sid, Sid, Sid, Sid.
Mike Holloway
I do like firecrackers.
Show Announcer / Host
Where are you hiding, Andy?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Slinky here's a big joke, but congratulations.
Show Announcer / Host
Congratulations.
Tony Hinchcliffe
There you go. On to the next one. I like that guy.
Show Announcer / Host
There he goes.
Ari Shaffir
Something about him.
Aldo Caldo
For real, this.
Ari Shaffir
In school.
Show Announcer / Host
Grew up on a fireworks stand.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, you know what that means. The beautiful, lovely Heidi is here. Wow. Someone's. Someone's rooting for Ari from the audience. Let's go, Ari. Wow. A guy. A guy. A guy wants you to be funny right now. Farts. All right, all right. This looks like a new name. I'm excited about it. I love new names. You love new names. I.
Show Announcer / Host
It's my favorite thing, other than my condo.
Neil Rubenstein
Oh.
Show Announcer / Host
Un. We're doing it. Red band. We're really doing it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for Candace August, everybody. Candace August.
Karen Jones
All right.
Candace August
My husband's Muslim, and when we got married, we had to do the Islamic wedding ritual. For those of you who do not know, the Islamic wedding ritual is called the Nikka. I will spell it for you. It is N as in Nancy, I. K as in kangaroo. A H as in Harold the Nika. Problem is I had not seen that word written down before I heard that shit out loud. Picture it on my wedding day. I'm standing there in my dress. I'm looking at my husband, so in love. The guy walks in, he's like, we are gathered here today to celebrate this blessed Nika. He kept going. In the eyes of Allah, all n are beautiful and wonderful. This n today is special. I was just like, what the fuck
Tony Hinchcliffe
did this nigga say? What did this.
Candace August
Thanks for the compliments, dude, but you can call me Candace.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Fantastic set.
Ari Shaffir
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
By Candace August. Welcome to the show, Candice. Thank you. Is this your first time?
Candace August
It is not.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You've been on before.
Candace August
You were great.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I remember you. Thank you.
Candace August
I was on in January.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Welcome back.
Candace August
Thank you. I figure I have to keep signing up. It's the only way black women are ever going to get on this show, so.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, it's also the only way anyone gets on the show. I love that you have to be a victim of race issues. Would never expect anybody like you to do that. You people never do that. For this is the fairest, most diverse show in all of show business. Incorrect. How dare you? Oh, shit.
Candace August
Two Tonys.
Show Announcer / Host
Oh, my. I'm getting roasted by the bouncer. Advice. Fraggle Rock. Oh, my God.
Mark Norman
It's Ma' am Patterson.
Candace August
It's pretty good. Hello, Ari. How are you?
Ari Shaffir
What's up? How you doing?
Candace August
Pretty good.
Tony Hinchcliffe
How do you two know each other?
Candace August
No, I just was. I already dapped him up.
Show Announcer / Host
And I love black hookers.
Candace August
Tony, I wanted to. That's not even funny. But I just wanted to. I just wanted to acknowledge everyone on the panel. Hello.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Redband. I love it. I love it. So, Candace, remind us, what do you do for a living?
Show Announcer / Host
What's going on?
Candace August
I'm Ari's call girl. Didn't you hear?
Tony Hinchcliffe
No, no,
Candace August
I, I. We talked about this before. I work at a debt consolidation company.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. A debt consolidation company.
Ari Shaffir
I don't understand what that is.
Candace August
Doesn't translate.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Amazing. And what do you do for fun?
Candace August
I like to travel a lot. And comedy's fun. I like.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Where do you travel to? What are some of your favorite places that you've been?
Candace August
My favorite place is Cuba. That's the favorite place I've been.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What do you love about Cuba?
Candace August
I just. I'm from New Orleans and. And, yeah, I know you went to Brother Martin. I know I went to Ursuline. So we look at the connection down there. I performed with him several times. He Never remembers me. But
Red Band
it's.
Candace August
It's fine.
Show Announcer / Host
It's fine.
Candace August
It's okay. It's okay. I opened for him at Magoovies and a bunch of other places.
Ari Shaffir
Sorry, are you from. Are you from Maryland?
Candace August
No, but I lived in the DMV at the time when I worked with him.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You lived in the DMV? Wow.
Candace August
Okay. It's D.C. maryland, Virginia.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
Candace August
And they call it the DMV.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. You look like you'd work at the DMV.
Show Announcer / Host
Oh, my God. We're really doing it.
Red Band
Red band.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We're really doing it.
Candace August
I was answering you about Havana. So I'm from New Orleans and Havana has a very like. Like New Orleans type of feel. A very like. It has a lot of soul and it's a very small place. A lot of live music playing all the time. It just. It just.
Tony Hinchcliffe
The sweet sirens, it just.
Candace August
It just reminded me of home. That's why I like.
Show Announcer / Host
That's amazing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What do you love about Austin, Texas?
Candace August
It also. So 6th street specifically also reminds me of bourbon. Yeah, it reminds me. It's a very bourbon esque feel. All the live music and then there's this concentrated like 4 block radius where everything's happening. It's just like bourbon. Except cleaner. Marginally.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. You got a man? Are you married? Is that what that ring is?
Karen Jones
Yes.
Candace August
We talked at long length about it last time. My husband's Indian.
Show Announcer / Host
Oh, that's right.
Tony Hinchcliffe
The rare mix of an Indian man and a powerful black woman.
Candace August
Yeah, you were very interested in that subject.
Karen Jones
The left.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, it's a very rare combination. I study these things. I'm a people person.
Ari Shaffir
How does the family go for it? How does this family go for.
Candace August
So, I mean, they weren't very happy at first, but not really because I'm black. Just mostly because I'm not Muslim.
Charlie Mac
Why would you do this to the family? Why do you bring home a demon woman?
Candace August
This dude?
Show Announcer / Host
I do voices too, man.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I heard you did quite a few
Candace August
the last time I was here.
Mark Norman
Yeah, you and the Indian husband, Nika Masala.
Show Announcer / Host
That is close.
Mark Norman
Too close.
Tony Hinchcliffe
A good one.
Show Announcer / Host
A good one.
Candace August
Right on the borderline, mark. Right on the borderline.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Sorry.
Show Announcer / Host
And what does your husband do for work?
Candace August
He also works at a. That consolidation company. A different one from me, though.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. Till debt do you part. Absolutely. Oh, you like that one?
Candace August
That one was good.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You don't like working at the dmv?
Candace August
That one was. No.
Ari Shaffir
But that consolidation humor, really. Go take that around the office.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. Did he get to watch your appearance when you were on the show last time. You showed it to him, right?
Candace August
Yeah, yeah. He watched it from home. Like he wasn't here live, but he watched it.
Ari Shaffir
How much did he beat you for it?
Candace August
He did.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You brick up.
Karen Jones
My first shirt
Tony Hinchcliffe
means no worries.
Candace August
Oh, he got a kick out of it. Cuz you spent a lot of time talking about. So I had said that you got
Ari Shaffir
a kick out of it.
Candace August
I said my.
Tony Hinchcliffe
A kick and two punches.
Candace August
All right, So I said my husband wasn't black and you spent a lot of time trying to guess what race he was and you never guessed Indian. I had to tell you. So that's what happened last time. So a lot of the interview was about him. So he actually really enjoyed it when we watched it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I love it.
Candace August
Yeah.
Show Announcer / Host
And where do you get earrings like that?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Those are great earrings.
Candace August
I'm so glad you noticed them. So the last time I was on, I had knives, right. So it's like the Kill Tony vibe and no one ever noticed them. So thank you, Tony, too, for noticing them.
Show Announcer / Host
Yes. Did you buy them at the target that you got fired at?
Karen Jones
I did.
Show Announcer / Host
Okay.
Candace August
No, they're custom. I ordered them online.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What were you gonna say there, Mark?
Mark Norman
Nothing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, you got a big joke book last time.
Candace August
I did. But let me tell you this. When I got it, you had, like, some that were left over from the HEB center, and I never got one from the show that I was on. So if you can spare another one.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You know what? Here's an official one. It's your lucky day.
Mark Norman
It's like Angel Reese.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Thank you.
Candace August
Thank you, Tony.
Ari Shaffir
Good bucket pulls.
Candace August
You guys have a good night.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Thank you so much. One more time for Candace August.
Show Announcer / Host
Candace August. Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And the show goes on.
Show Announcer / Host
It has to.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We keep it moving.
Show Announcer / Host
Let's do it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We gotta do it. Your next bucket poll goes by the name of Karen Jones.
Benjamin Grell
I got it.
Karen Jones
Some of you may remember me. I was falsely accused of storming the Capitol. I've been pardoned by President Trump. Unfortunately, I had already been incarcerated for 90 days before I got the pardon. Still grateful. But while I was in prison, I was raped. Okay. Date raped. Okay. It was consensual. That's still very unpleasant. And yeah, okay, I was on house arrest. But it's terrible to be on house arrest because you can't leave. But I found out that you could leave for medical procedures. So I scheduled a mammogram, a pap smear, and a colonoscopy. And I'm telling you, it was as horrible as any other time. I've been raped, date raped, had sex and regretted it, whatever you want to call it. Thank you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Karen Jones, one of the most famous characters in the show's history. A wild.
Show Announcer / Host
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Some people would call her a batty woman.
Ari Shaffir
Tony, I. I know you said not to ask questions, but I got a question for you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What the fuck?
Karen Jones
What? What the fuck?
Mark Norman
If you're here, who's going to take down the tiger king?
Show Announcer / Host
Mark?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Norman is on.
Show Announcer / Host
Norman.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Fire.
Show Announcer / Host
On fucking fire. You look like the woman who fired angel from the target. Or Candace, who is the last person.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's right, it was Candace.
Show Announcer / Host
Candace.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So, Karen Jones, give us an update. What's been going on in life? I sometimes, you know, hear about you. You come up a lot. I get reports Karen Jones is fucking doing this and that you're around.
Karen Jones
Well, I always try and be in the most interesting places I can be.
Ari Shaffir
Flower shops, plant stores, arboretums.
Karen Jones
Well, probably one of the biggest changes is I was in a little granny flat out in Dripping Springs on my son's property. He was going through a divorce. You remember my son, the real Alex Jones. And.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Keep going, Karen. Keep going. I think you had a stroke there for a second.
Karen Jones
No, no. But it could happen.
Show Announcer / Host
You're walking a blind guy with this story right now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
There he goes.
Show Announcer / Host
So pick up the pace, Karen Jones.
Karen Jones
I have been known to clear the room, okay? But my son remarried and he remarried a very beautiful woman. And it turns out that five acres is not enough room for two women. So I've had to move. And I'm living out in Canyon Lake now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And so let's really break it down.
Show Announcer / Host
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's your son's property, am I correct?
Karen Jones
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He bought it.
Karen Jones
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And somehow you made yourself so known, so present that they made you move somewhere else. Explain to us what a daily routine on a five acre ranch with Karen Jones is like.
Karen Jones
Well, when you're on house arrest, it's very limited, but normally.
Tony Hinchcliffe
But you have the whole five acres.
Show Announcer / Host
Five acres.
Karen Jones
I also had three kids I was taking care of and the main house. So I became the taking care of your son? No, his children.
Ari Shaffir
Wait, were you really under house arrest?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Ari, everybody's with it except for you right now. You're the only person confused at all. The crowd is now wondering why you're confused.
Ari Shaffir
What's she under house arrest for?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Storming the Capitol.
Charlie Mac
I thought that was a joke.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No, real fucking story.
Show Announcer / Host
I know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
This is kill Tony,
Show Announcer / Host
All right?
Tony Hinchcliffe
It's the only place you can meet real people that have stormed the Capitol other than Fox News.
Karen Jones
I did not. And if you recall, I said all along I was invited in. I was. I was invited in.
Ari Shaffir
The Capital has the vampire rules.
Karen Jones
The Capital is. Is normally open.
Tony Hinchcliffe
The door was open.
Karen Jones
We asked permission to go in. And my husband had never been inside the rotunda.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Or no better time than January 6, 2021.
Show Announcer / Host
Right on cue.
Karen Jones
But what happened is they invited us in. And I took a plea deal. So I couldn't speak as freely on your show. But that's why I got the 90 days. My lawyer was shocked. I didn't just get probation, but I told too much. Like I told that no police had died, only J6ers. And so I got it.
Show Announcer / Host
Cool nickname, by the way.
Karen Jones
Well, we went to Memorial day to a J6 reunion.
Tony Hinchcliffe
J6 reunion. Oh, my God.
Mark Norman
Holy shit.
Show Announcer / Host
This bitch knows how to party.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yes, she does. The crowd goes wild.
Show Announcer / Host
Wild.
Karen Jones
Well, because they believe me that we were invited in and we were. We were trapped. Maybe not all of them, but enough people know now, but I can say this without being arrested for perjuring myself on my statement of facts and deal I signed. But they invited us in, and then they trapped us, and they hit me really hard with a billy club in the stomach, and then they sprayed the ass.
Tony Hinchcliffe
If they wanted you to get out of there, they should have just invited your son. Mom, there's just not enough room here at the Capitol for you. We gotta move you to a completely different ranch tens and tens of miles away. So do you still make it back to. Have you been to the Capitol since?
Karen Jones
No, just the Texas Capitol. And they're very nice. Even when I was on free trial, they let me in. They're open on Sunday. Texas had such a nice capital, and Washington, D.C. used to be nicer, but it's really went to hell.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yep, yep, it sure has.
Show Announcer / Host
It sure has.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Just with the Congress, like, the Congress inside of it, if you ask me.
Show Announcer / Host
What did you do after Dennis Jimenez stole your cookies?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Good question.
Show Announcer / Host
Thanks.
Mark Norman
Me, I can't believe Willie Nelson transitioned.
Show Announcer / Host
Unbelievable. Really doing it. Red Band.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So, Karen, anything else crazy going on in your life that we should know about?
Karen Jones
Well, you know, I was trying to decide whether or not I should go with the J6 stuff, because I have been going to open mics regularly, and I've been working on my gay material.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Why don't we hear one of your gay jokes? I want to hear what I hear.
Show Announcer / Host
Do you want to hear one of her gay jokes?
Aldo Caldo
Come on.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I think we do.
Karen Jones
I'll give you a bit of my gay Minute.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Karen Jones
It's that I told all my kids growing up I didn't want them to be damaged. So I always told them that if I find out you're gay, I just won't be able to love you as much. It's nothing personal, but we all know that homosexuality is caused by overbearing, castrating, ball busting bitch moms. And I'm not gonna let one of you make me look like a bad mom.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
Show Announcer / Host
Wow. I like her.
Mark Norman
Put her in the arena.
Tony Hinchcliffe
This might be my favorite.
Ari Shaffir
This might be my favorite bucket pole of all time.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I know. She is a legend. She is a legend in Kiltoni.
Karen Jones
Well, you probably missed me talking about your ball sack on Joke World, but you're.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What?
Show Announcer / Host
What the fuck?
Karen Jones
Last time I was in here, I saw his balls. Well, I wasn't in here. It was in LA actually. And I was. I was doing interviews for Joke World and I've actually seen them a few times now. And I said if I were you, I would keep them in my pants because my husband is 73 years old and he has better looking balls. The whole deal. My husband looks better.
Show Announcer / Host
Oh, my God.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God.
Show Announcer / Host
Oh, my God.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Show Announcer / Host
Oh, my God.
Tony Hinchcliffe
There they are. Oh, jesus.
Show Announcer / Host
Oh, my God,
Karen Jones
My husband. Yeah, that's awful.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh. Oh, my.
Benjamin Grell
Oh.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God.
Karen Jones
Oh.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God. Happy pride.
Karen Jones
It's nothing I haven't seen before.
Show Announcer / Host
Yoni cancel my postmates order.
Karen Jones
No, the bad thing is, is after my husband sees this episode, he'll be like walking around with his dick swinging. It's funny when you get older, your dick gets bigger because of gravity.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Except for Aries, obviously.
Karen Jones
Oh, can you imagine what they're gonna look like in 75? 3. That's scary.
Mark Norman

Aldo Caldo
Many moons ago, I used to be the bass player for the Latin boy group band called Menudo. Yeah, Men nude.
Benjamin Grell
Oh.
Aldo Caldo
We used to hop the borders all around Latin America playing these sold out shows. And I used to think to myself, wow, I made it. I really made it. I remember I came home with my first million in pesos. It was like the best hundred bucks I ever made. People would always ask me, hey, Aldo, how did you know who was going to be the next Menudo? Because they would get molested and then get kicked out or hit puberty. Was it always the cute one that would say. No? It was always the Menudos that set their microphones up like this. He was the next Ricky Martin. Gracias.
Show Announcer / Host
Okay.

He is without a doubt one of the most legendary regulars of all time. And soon to be, without a doubt, a citizen of the United States of America. But for now, he remains the Estonian assassin. This is Ari Madden.
Charlie Mac

Ari Madden
So, speaking of small dicks,

Tony Hinchcliffe
Isn't it crazy?
Ari Madden
Katy Perry's in orbit before. I have a big hawk. And I've looked into it. No progress. The only thing you can get
Tony Hinchcliffe
is
Ari Madden
you go to Mexico and they don't make you a big Dick. You pay 60 grand and what they do, they remove your lower abdominal muscles to, like, excavate more dick out of you. $60,000 for an extra two inches. Hey, I don't need two inches. Great, now we're at four.

Show Announcer / Host
Back to the bucket we go.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Make some noise for your next bucket pool. It's Benjamin girl. Benjamin.
Benjamin Grell
Hello. How are you ladies? Are you sick of your man's wrinkled old fucking ball sack? That hairy old dusty nutsack? Well, I got something for you. It's called Scrotox. It's Botox for your testicles. I don't care if you like the red socks, the white socks or don't even wear fucking socks for a smooth nut sack tomorrow. Use Scrotox today. It also removes hair for the ultimate teabagging experience. Your lady will be looking forward to that. My cousin recently married a Chinese girl. At the wedding. Wedding reception. They had this beautiful lasso apps.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Let him go, let him go, let him go. You can finish, Benjamin. You got to keep it going. Keep going.
Benjamin Grell
They had this beautiful lasso apsu souffle that was out of this world. They had poodle kebabs on a brioche bun, beagle burgers and leg of lamb with a nice mint sauce. I never believed that shit, but I do now. That's it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Show Announcer / Host
Hey.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Ari Shaffir
Good thing you made it finish.
Show Announcer / Host
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Benjamin is a legend, believe it or not. Much like Karen Jones in this show's history. Yes, and for the same reason as Karen Jones. He is not necessarily known for his stand up during the minute long sets, but my God, if this isn't one of the the greatest interviewees in the history of the show famous for being able to somehow tap into a story that is a thousand times funnier than anything he says during the stand up part. It's happened before. The legendary story of him stealing a man's television while he made himself a sandwich was told on the show. We've heard of him having many hangs with the Night Stalker.
Benjamin Grell
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Actually, some other highlights as well.
Benjamin Grell
Well, well, he has his son.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Show Announcer / Host
Okay.
Benjamin Grell
They call him Little Richard. Good golly Miss Molly.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, never mind. Like I said, his jokes aren't really that good, but if we can guide him into accidentally telling a story that he never thought that he would say. You have anything else up your sleeve? Benjamin, you've had so many highlight moments on the interview part. I mean, we're really pushing it here. This is like staying in Vegas when you're already winning. You signed up again. You're famous for tapping into unbelievable stories.
Benjamin Grell
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Is there anything that we should know that you haven't told us before? You must have been kicking something around in your head.
Show Announcer / Host
Something fun.
Benjamin Grell
Yeah. I get another story.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What?
Benjamin Grell
I have another story.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Francisco Rincon
Okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What's this story about?
Benjamin Grell
It's about when I was a drug dealer, I owed these Italian guys in New York $80,000.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, great. Let's. Wow.
Show Announcer / Host
Let's fucking go. Yep.
Benjamin Grell
And I didn't have any money.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Give us the right lighting here, Kino. Benjamin owes Italians in New York $80,000. He didn't have enough money. And here he goes. This. This Benjamin Grant.
Benjamin Grell
Yeah. This was at the height of my heroin addiction. That's why I spent their $80,000. Well, actually had nothing to do with heroin. It was my coke dealer. I actually owed him $80,000, and he owed the Italians $80,000. And there were four other guys that owed him about $100,000. So I owed him the least. And their theory was, if they killed me to set an example, the other people would pay up. Actually, I only owe him $60,000, but my girlfriend owed him $20,000. And she was a UCSB student and she used to sell weed for me. And they wanted to put her in a cat house up in Reno to work off her 20 grand. And she's like, I'm a vegan. What are you talking about? I'm going to graduate this year. And so I absorbed her 20 grand, which brought mine up to 80. And my friend whose name is. We'll call him. We'll call him Jason because that was his name.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Here we go.
Show Announcer / Host
Perfect.
Tony Hinchcliffe
This is what I'm talking about.
Show Announcer / Host
We're doing It. Red band.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Red band. We're doing it. Keep going, Benjamin.
Show Announcer / Host
Go ahead.
Benjamin Grell
Yeah, he was a. He's a rich kid from Santa Barbara. His dad was like the president of the Santa Barbara Stock Exchange or something. But he wasn't a good drug dealer. And from hanging around with me, he got strung out on heroin. And he didn't get along too good with the Mexicans in the neighborhood. And I got along great with him until I accidentally burnt one of the houses down. I just meant to blow up the car, but I used too much gasoline. And the driveway had a little incline to it. And the gasoline went around the house and, you know, shit happens. I didn't expect the house to catch fire. I'm going off track. This has nothing to do with the Italians. Hi, Mike. Yeah. Well, these are. We'll call these guys the Rodriguez brothers, because that was their name. And they were cool guys. They were honest, honest drug dealers. You give them money, they brought the drugs back. And none of them were home this particular day except their one brother, Jesse. And he had just got out of jail like two days before that. And I figured he was cool like the rest of the brothers. So I gave him six grand for an ounce of heroin. And while we were talking about the heroin, he showed me this vintage car that he was working on. And he was really proud of this car. So anyway, I gave him the money. And after an hour, he didn't come back. He left me in his little shack behind his parents house. I'm waiting for him. After two hours, he didn't come back. And I finally realized his motherfucker ripped me off. And it was Jason's money, my friend Jason, the coke dealer. So I had to go back and tell him, hey, I lost the money. I fucking got ripped off. And he's like, holy shit, the Italians are coming. We have to get all this money together. So he said, what are you gonna do? I said, I don't know, but it's fucked up. He said, I'm gonna go blow his car up. Went to the gas station, got a gallon of gas. No, I used to blow cars up a lot when I was a teenager. The older guys, they didn't want to make payments anymore, so they would, you know, give me 50 bucks and the keys to their car. And they'd say, you know, drive it around for a week, have fun, and then burn it. So I did. First time I did it, I didn't realize you're supposed to leave a trail. And I poured gas all over the place. You know, they Said, put in the engine compartment, the trunk, the interior, and, you know, then throw a match at it. But they didn't tell me to make a trail. So I was standing like, you know, six inches away from the fucking car. I'm like, I know all my hair burns, my fucking eyebrows, my eyelashes, my hair. I go back to the donut shop. Oh, yeah. And they said, wait, wait, wait.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Hold on one second. Where'd this donut shop come from?
Benjamin Grell
No donut shop.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, okay, go ahead, go ahead.
Benjamin Grell
I went back to the donut shop. My big book is filled too, by the way.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, just keep going. Talk about that later.
Show Announcer / Host
It's almost tomorrow, so.
Benjamin Grell
And they said, make sure you bring the keys back. If you don't bring the keys back, the insurance company will. They won't. They won't collect. And I forgot the keys in the ignition. As soon as I go back to the donut shop, they say, you got the keys? And I went, ah, shit. I forgot the keys. And they're like, what the fuck happened to your hair? I said, I got burnt, you know? So the next day, we went to look at the car where they towed it, and everything was melted. The dashboard, the steering wheel. The keys were like a puddle down there. Nothing there. Anyways, that's a different story.
Mike Holloway
About.
Benjamin Grell
About Jesse's. Jesse's. I shouldn't have used their real name because they might still be around. These guys, they're gonna be pissed off when they see this, because the very next day, after the house caught fire, I went right back, knocked on the door. I'm like, what the fuck? Your brother ripped me off last night. What happened to your house? And then some blew it up. My brother's been ripping everybody off, you know, and people are pissed off anyway, so that was that. So back to the Italians.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yes. Here we go.
Benjamin Grell
So Jason's. Jason said, hey, you guys gotta pay up. The Italians are coming. He was saying this for like six fucking months. And he was a wimp. You know, he'd go to school, heroin. He called me one day crying from downtown. He said, the fucking Mexicans took my BMW. What the hell? I told you not to go down there without me. He goes down there with his, you know, tennis shirt and his sweater tied around his neck. You know how fucking.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Keep going. Keep going.
Benjamin Grell
Santa Barbara, Castle.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Keep going. Back to the Italians.
Benjamin Grell
Back to the Italians. So anyway, he said, the Italians are coming. The Italians are coming. And we're like, yeah, yeah, fuck you, Jason. And so finally, I'm at my house one day, my girlfriend was sitting there about 6 o' clock at night, and there's a knock on the door. I open the door and there's this little guy, looked like Joe Pesci with an Afro. And he goes, hey, I'm Frank and this is my friend Bubba, this big muscle guy. He said, we're here to discuss your bill with Jason. I'm going, oh, fuck. The Italians, they're here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
The Italians have finally arrived. For those of you that have completely fallen asleep six minutes ago, yeah, the Italians there have arrived.
Neil Rubenstein
I got.
Benjamin Grell
I got distracted. The Italians are here and they're saying, come on, we're going to take you out for dinner. We want to talk about how you're going to pay us back. And I'm like, you know, I'm really not hungry. I just ate. And my girlfriend's going, like, don't go. You'll never come back. You know, she's the one that owned the 20 grand. So anyway, I did. We went with the Italians and they said, you know, we're talking about how I'm going to pay him back. I said, look, I don't. I don't even fucking deal drugs anymore. I'm just a fucking strung out junkie. And, you know, one day at a time keep coming back. And so finally,
Mark Norman
I'll pay you 80 grand to finish the story.
Benjamin Grell
Hey, all right.
Show Announcer / Host
And I'll double that money if you tell me where Gabby Petito is.
Benjamin Grell
So anyway, I talked them into letting me. My girlfriend got a job in San Francisco for Chevron. And I told him, look, I got a job at this restaurant in San Francisco. You guys let me leave town and I'll send you guys like two grand a month. You know, I didn't have a job in San Francisco. I lied. So anyway, they said, okay, you go to San Francisco, you send us that money. If you don't send us that money, we're going to come up there and fucking use you. Set an example for the other guys. So they'll pay up. And I'm saying, well, yeah, if you kill me, you won't get the money. They said, yeah, but it'll, you know, give them the impetus to pay the rest of the money. And they owe a lot more than you do. It was like a half a million altogether. Okay, so anyway, I'm in San Francisco two, three months go by. I didn't send anything. I didn't talk to him or anything. And one day I'm in bed and I hear I'm dreaming of a fire crackling, you know, firewood and cracking fire. Like 6am in the morning. My girlfriend was visiting her parents in Santa Barbara. So I was alone. And it wasn't. It wasn't a fire.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You're dreaming.
Benjamin Grell
And then, and then I thought it was a fireplace. But what it was in reality was my door to the apartment being cracked open. The wood actually cracked right down the middle. And I see these big guys go walking by my door. Big guns, T shirts, jeans, tennis shoes, fucking. And then 1, 2, 3. And the fourth one, the fourth one, look to the bedroom and he's going, ah, he's in here. Next thing I know, I sit up like that, there's three guys on my bed.
Mark Norman
Come on, this is kill Tony, not Rogan.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So then what happened, Ben? The Italians are finally here. 20 minutes into the story. Yeah, pour them into your freedom.
Benjamin Grell
They. One of them straddled me and the other two are standing on my hands. Later on they told me they thought I was reaching for a gun. That's why they did that. And the one in the middle put the fucking gun in my mouth. Chipped my tooth. Pull the hammer back and I'm going, okay, this is it. I'm gonna fucking be dead. Then a guy comes in the doorway in a three piece suit with a tie, pulls out a fucking badge and he goes, ben Grelly? I said, yeah. He goes, dea, you're under arrest. So it wasn't the Italians.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You, you got busted for being a heroin dealer and addict.
Benjamin Grell
Jason got busted in Santa Barbara. And he had my name and address in his book, my telephone number and the other four guys, all their names and addresses. And he was always telling us, use code, don't use my name, blah, blah, blah this shit. And he didn't do it all his own direction.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Ben, is there like something big coming? Is that it?
Benjamin Grell
No, that's not it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's it. That's it.
Benjamin Grell
No, there's more.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay, well, let's get to that stuff real quick anyway.
Benjamin Grell
Yeah, well, they picked me up out of bed, I had my fucking boxes on which happened to have marijuana leaves emblazoned all over them. And they had me in the kitchen and they were looking for coke because they said, you owe him 80 grand. And I'm like, no, I owed him $80. You guys are fucked up. You didn't do your homework. It's $80, not 80 grand. He paid for my Frank Zappa ticket. I just made up this ticket. We didn't go to sleep rings after all. Anyway, so the Santa Barbara cops flew up from Santa Barbara and the DEA
Tony Hinchcliffe
Ben, you might have to finish it next time. It's a little too long.
Benjamin Grell
Okay, long story short, I didn't talk.
Charlie Mac
You can't do this.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No, go ahead. Don't let him do it. Let him do it now. Let him do it.
Mark Norman
I'd rather listen to Biden.
Benjamin Grell
I didn't. I didn't talk. And the Italians actually did. The head Italian called me up. He said, you're the only one that didn't fucking rat on us. Everybody else talked. He had the fucking transcripts. And I said, well, what about the 80 grand? He says, Forget about the 80 grand. We had a good day yesterday. And that was it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow. All right. Here's a big joke book, Ben. Thank you so much. Congratulations, Benjamin Grell. Wow. All right.
Show Announcer / Host
All

Ari Shaffir
It was gripping and nothing at the same time.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He's really good at it. But that one didn't really have the. Didn't have the twists and turns it normally does.
Mark Norman
No, that was like the Irishman.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, ladies and gentlemen, back to the bucket we go. This looks like a new name. Make some noise for Luke Lawrence, everybody.
Show Announcer / Host

Luke Lawrence
I know I'm not. I'm not a confident guy and I know I'm not a hot guy, but I know I'm just hot enough that prostitutes are relieved when they walk in my apartment. Like, I know I'm not like a hard day's work, you know what I mean? But I'm going to give her a run for her money.
Mike Holloway
For sure.
Benjamin Grell
For sure.
Luke Lawrence
I got a crazy little message from my ex girlfriend, my friend's ex girlfriend,
Mark Norman
a little while ago.
Luke Lawrence
She texted me. She's like, hey, Tyler just died. And I'm like, holy fuck. And she's like, yeah, he just told me he loved me and his picture. My best friend having a heart attack and just throwing his phone immediately because she couldn't find it right after he died. And all I'm thinking is just like, he wants people to love him right after he dies. Nope. Things aren't always the best they can be. Sometimes you get fucking cheated on and, you know your friends try to support you sometimes when you get cheated on. My best friend's literally just like, yo, man, she's for the streets. She's not. She's native. She's for the land.
Red Band
That's it.
Luke Lawrence
Holy fuck, that was terrible. Jesus Christ.
Tony Hinchcliffe

Luke Lawrence
And then I moved. I moved. I moved to Toronto. I was living in Toronto for a while and then the pandemic happened and then like everybody in Toronto cared about the pandemic and I went back to Newfoundland because it's like I was one of the last people to see the submersible leave.
Tony Hinchcliffe

It's got surprisingly good ratings. I Don't know. Canada. Editing. They just made the movie so shitty, I think. But like, what is party? My opinion, like, literally, like, it was just like every time I submitted a script, they're like this, gotta get him out. It's got to come out. And I'm like, sakes, man. Jesus Christ. It's not the same thing I tried to put out there, but that's it
Ari Shaffir

Luke Lawrence
I drove a side by side, a four seater side by side off like a seven story cliff. And I then I wrote it off, walked away immediately. And then the cartel were just like, you owe us $50,000.

Show Announcer / Host
What the was that sentence you just said?
Luke Lawrence
I know. I've. I've got this fluency too. I've got a bunch of disabilities, so it's like you can't tell.
Show Announcer / Host
But what we all do. What is your. What is your best joke that you could tell right now?
Luke Lawrence
It's not quick. Like, trying to perform, like trying to like get a minute is so much harder than trying to do like a three minute setter and.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Right. Because you have long setups. Right.
Luke Lawrence
Yeah, you're right.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yes, I am right.
Mark Norman
Yeah.

Tony Hinchcliffe
Back to the bucket. This is surprisingly our ninth bucket pool of the night. We've been flying through it here tonight. Make some noise for Neil Rubenstein, everybody.
Show Announcer / Host
Okay.
Neil Rubenstein
Yeah, Hi. Hi, everybody. Yeah, I'm Neil Rubenstein. People mispronounce it all the time, too. Rubenstein. Rubenstein Goldberg.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's fine.
Neil Rubenstein
I'm named after my grandfather, Norman Rubenstein. But I know that wasn't his name, you know, because he came over from Poland in the 1930s. So his name was like a bunch of C's and Z's. No vowels, inside out, K for some reason. And just the immigration guys couldn't read it. They're like, what are you showing me, a WI FI password? Like, we're giving out a lot of Normans today. You're gonna be Norman from now on. He said, my last name is Joe Norman Rubenstein. You guys made me nervous. Holy shit. We're giving a hell out of Normans today. He'll be Norman from now on. Norman Rubenstein. He said, my last name is Jones. Like, not anymore, Jew. And they just shoved him back down the stairs. That's how it was for us. Never been a good time in history for the Jews. No one's ever like, oh, you're Jewish. Right this way. You know. Well, once. Stepped on the. Well, once, but all right, that one.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Neil Rubenstein. Hello, Neil.
Show Announcer / Host

Neil Rubenstein
Yeah, it's all right.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What do you think went wrong tonight? You said that we. I got nervous.
Neil Rubenstein

Tony Hinchcliffe
I think they were yelling at Ari.
Francisco Rincon
Yeah.
Charlie Mac
Also.
Neil Rubenstein
Yeah. You know, because Mark looks Jewish. So I was like, all right, I guess we'll do juju.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Or there's the rabbi in the middle here that you haven't seemed to notice. This Yiddish overlord.
Mark Norman
Quite the matzo balls.
Tony Hinchcliffe

Ari Shaffir
You look more like Rubenesque.
Neil Rubenstein
Yeah, he did that last time. He did the Ruben. The Reuben sandwich.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So you don't have to. Yeah, the people are. Let the new people make the same jokes that everybody thinks when they see you. It should be a barometer to let you know exactly what people think.

Neil Rubenstein

Tony Hinchcliffe
Let's go the other direction. Tell me, what's not the saddest one thing in your life of all time? Like, what's some type of trauma that you're dealing with, makes you cry?
Neil Rubenstein
I. I tend to talk about my parents deaths a lot.
Tony Hinchcliffe

Neil Rubenstein
My mom died just a month after my dad.
Ari Shaffir
And did you eat both of them?
Neil Rubenstein
Yes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, so how did they die?
Neil Rubenstein
My dad died. It was like concussive symptoms, but it was just like. He was just like an old man.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He was an old man.
Neil Rubenstein
And my mom died of leukemia, but we didn't believe her because she was
Show Announcer / Host
like a huge red band. Red band.
Neil Rubenstein
She was a huge hypochondriac, so we didn't believe her.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God. So your mom was complaining that she was sick with something, and you guys didn't believe her, and then it turns out she had leukemia.
Neil Rubenstein
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So you must be dealing with the guilt of that.
Neil Rubenstein
No, not really. I mean, what. What the fuck? If I believed her, what would that change?
Tony Hinchcliffe
She would have gotten treated for leukemia.
Show Announcer / Host
Ever heard of chemotherapy?
Tony Hinchcliffe
She was already.
Neil Rubenstein
She was already, like, in the hospital, actually. Chemo. She had breast cancer. They gave her chemo. It gave her leukemia.
Ari Shaffir
Wait, she was in the hospital for cancer and you still did not believe her?
Show Announcer / Host
Where were you, the cafeteria?
Neil Rubenstein
Yes. Yes.
Show Announcer / Host
I'm so sorry.
Neil Rubenstein
She was. Yeah, she. Because, like, she was always like, you know, I have fibromyalgia. We're like, like, what are the symptoms? Being mean to me, you know?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow, your mom was mean to you?
Neil Rubenstein
Yeah. So then, like, yeah, so then she was in the hospital for leukemia and they were.
Show Announcer / Host
It's okay.
Neil Rubenstein
I don't know who's doing it, but it's great. Yeah, she was in the hospital and my sister was like, come see her. She's about to die. And we're like, yeah, we'll get there when we get there.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And then what happened?
Neil Rubenstein
I got there, like, as she died,
Tony Hinchcliffe
like, when you say as she died, like, because, like, there's a part where the heart stops.
Neil Rubenstein
No.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like, was it. Did you make it, or was it just afterwards you feel guilty about it?
Neil Rubenstein
Should I be doing bits or. No, no, she just. I wasn't asking you, dickhead. Yeah, she.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You know, it seems like you're dealing with a lot of trauma here, and I am going to bring out someone special to talk with you right now. Don't worry. It's not your mom or dad. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special treat. Make some noise. Swinging in just to give a quick analysis of the great Neil Rubenstein. A very, very special treat. Make some noise for the great and powerful Dr. Drew, everybody. Wow. Legend of the game. The man, the myth. We know him. We love him. The great and powerful Dr. Drew. Dr. Drew. Grab Mark Norman's mic there or Neil's, whatever, and been using it enough. The great Neil Rubenstein ran late to the death of his mother, and he has problems dealing with it. He. He says that his mom picked on him. His parents died, and that's why he says he eats himself to death every day. Do you have any advice?
Neil Rubenstein

Well, sometimes when your mom's a C, she does you a favor, because when she dies, you don't give a shit.
Neil Rubenstein
Nah, she wasn't. She wasn't.
Ari Madden
Oh, now we're defending them.

Tony Hinchcliffe
You know, there's only one way to end an episode like this. And it is with the reigning defending hall of Famer, the record holder for all time appearances and interviews, a man who some people say is the Richard Pryor's favorite comedian. Some people say that when this man sleeps at night, he. God. Yes. What? Go ahead.

He's the only guy who wipes his butt after he pees.
Tony Hinchcliffe
A man so hot that he cooks steak on his own thigh. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the vanilla gorilla, the Memphis Strangler, the big Red machine, William Montgomery.
Red Band
And that is true. I do wipe my butt after I pee. In case of. Anyway, anytime I hear someone say, I didn't save my dog, my dog saved me. I'm like, you stole Lassie. Wait, were you drowning or. The children's show Sesame street is celebrating Pride month. And I'm going to be honest, I had no idea puppets had anuses. How about those people that say, I'd like to order an iced coffee, hold the ice. I want to go up and say, I'd like a blowjob, but hold the blow. And they go, wait, what? And then I'm like, I'm sorry, can I fill out an application? And on the eighth day, God created Aphex Twin. And Aphex Twin said, nah, we just need seven. And God was like, oh, my God,
Show Announcer / Host
he's such a genius.
Red Band
Okay, that's my time, Tony.

And there are only two nominees and they're both. Me. Everybody, it's me. And me, Red Band. Love you guys. We love you. We did it again. You guys were here for another episode of what used to be the number one live podcast in the world. It is now the number one comedy show in the world. This is Kill Tony. Thank you. Good night, Sam.

Date: July 8, 2025
Location: Comedy Mothership, Austin, TX
Panel: Tony Hinchcliffe, Brian Redban, Ari Shaffir, Mark Normand
Special Appearance: Adam Ray as “Clone Tony”, Dr. Drew, Regulars and several up-and-coming comedians
In this raucous, unfiltered, and laugh-loaded episode, Kill Tony welcomes two of its most beloved guests: Ari Shaffir and Mark Normand. The night is a celebration of irreverence and unvarnished comic energy, with the audience and panel alike riding waves of crowd work, roasting, and uproarious crowd interactions. Notable moments include the return of Adam Ray as a convincing Tony Hinchcliffe "clone," interviews that veer into the wild and personal, and a host appearance by Dr. Drew offering mock-therapy to a struggling comic. A highlight reel of classic Kill Tony: roasting, diversity of comedic voice, and lived-in chaos on stage.

Throughout the evening, the Kill Tony house band is introduced several times, features heavily in roasting banter, and attempts (and fails, due to technical issues) to accompany Aldo Caldo.
Repeated riffs around ball size (two Aris comparing “95% balls”), ethnic jokes (Ari, Mark), and callback lines (“You look like the bad kid in Toy Story” [41:02], “You look like you coach a Nazi basketball league” [95:30]).

| Time | Speaker | Quote | |-------------|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------| | 05:44 | Tony Hinchcliffe | “Tonight I have put together a lineup that would make Bill Cosby wish he wasn’t a rapist...” | | 07:17 | Mark Normand | “Tony, you look more ethnic. What’s going on?” | | 14:33 | Charlie Mac | “I lost £160.” | | 18:49 | Ari Shaffir | “You make me look not Jewish.” | | 30:14 | Ari Shaffir | “I bet you fuck.” | | 41:02 | Mark Normand | “You look like the bad kid in Toy Story.” | | 43:58 | Candace August | “It’s the only way black women are ever going to get on this show...”| | 59:33 | Karen Jones | “My husband is 73 years old and he has better looking balls.” | | 69:18 | Ari Madden | “Dude, I literally saw an Indian guy hold his nose. Do you know how bad a place has to be for an Indian man?” | | 88:10 | Mark Norman | “I’ll pay you $80k to finish the story.” | | 104:13 | Neil Rubenstein | “I got there, like, as she died...” | | 106:07 | Tony Hinchcliffe | “Well, sometimes when your mom’s a C, she does you a favor because when she dies, you don’t give a shit.” | | 109:29 | William Montgomery | “Anytime I hear someone say, ‘I didn’t save my dog, my dog saved me,’ I’m like, you stole Lassie.” | | 116:54 | William Montgomery | “I’ve been doing it every day.” (ranting at heckler over exercise) |
Kill Tony #726 is packed with the format’s signature: a parade of slightly deranged, often confessional, always bold comedic voices sharpened (or heckled) by world-class comics. Ari Shaffir and Mark Normand, as always, raise the panel’s sharpness and unpredictability, while Adam Ray’s “Host of the Year” double act adds a meta layer of chaos and fun. The episode is quintessentially Kill Tony—edgy, chaotic, unfiltered, and hilarious.
Highly recommended for fans of roast comedy and those who love seeing new comics tested under fire by masters of the craft.
