Starting point is 00:01:54 Put your hands together for the chef, everybody. He's the chef. He's the delivery guy who does it all. He makes the dish and then brings it to you. So if anybody wants to order food, that's just for the live audience not for the you streamers. He's not going to come to where you are. Outfit provided by Sears.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I love that. New sponsor at Sears. Put your hands together for El Docho everybody. He comes in. He drops off food. Josh Martin comic putting it all together for us. Put your hands together for Ryan J.E. Belt, the house artist, sitting right over here
Starting point is 00:02:27 under the lights. Right now he has a blank piece of paper and as the episode goes on, he draws the episode. And while we're clapping needlessly over and over again, how about one more time for the great Pat Reagan? That's right. Band leader.
Starting point is 00:02:43 The band leader, Pat Reagan. Pat, how's it going? It's going good, Tony. How are you doing this evening? I'm doing great. Good to see you again, Pat. Good to see you, man. Brian Redband.
Starting point is 00:02:52 What is up, buddy? It's all happening. We lost one of our favorite Kill Tony guests this weekend, the great Rowdy Roddy Piper. The only, even though he's a paid regular here at the store, the only non-full-time comedian to ever be a guest on this
Starting point is 00:03:12 show was Rowdy Roddy Piper. And he was a guest twice. And he was also the head of security once, which is a position now filled by Pat Reagan as the band leader. Yeah, that's a bit of a 180. Yeah, it definitely is. 180 in terms of pound difference. Yeah, we's a bit of a 180. Yeah, it definitely is. 180 in terms of pound difference. Yeah, we went from security to insecurity real quick.
Starting point is 00:03:31 But I'm really excited. So, you know, Rowdy Roddy Piper was the man. So if you guys ever get a chance, go listen to some of those amazing episodes where he just spills brilliance. He was one of my best friends and one of the coolest guys and a regular here at the Comedy Store. Such an entertaining, I mean, movie star wrestler. And to be able to do all that and still be a paid regular at the comedy store is pretty crazy. Anyway, back to the show. I'm excited to be here.
Starting point is 00:04:00 September, what is it, 17th? We're in Arizona? Yeah. Phoenix, Arizona. Stand up live. Yeah, it's like a 600 seat venue. So go, if you live anywhere near Arizona, just
Starting point is 00:04:09 go to the show. We'd really appreciate it. Like, I don't know, Nevada, Colorado. Big shout outs to you guys. Make a drive for us to Phoenix. Anyway, let's do this. Guys, every week we have this show and I always have two of the funniest comedians in the world come on
Starting point is 00:04:25 and grace us with their presence and talk to other comedians that signed up for a chance to just perform in front of all of us. This week is the return of two of our favorite guests ever, two absolute monsters, two guests so good that I could have easily spread them out, had one on with a newer comedian guest and the other one on with a newer comedian guest and milked them for a total of
Starting point is 00:04:45 two episodes. But instead, I just booked it all at once to have a juggernaut of a Monday night. Put your hands together for the great Dom Irera and Greg Fitzsimmons, everybody. Wow! Dom Irera.
Starting point is 00:05:16 And Greg Fitzsimmons. Yeah. Yeah. Here they are, everybody. Greg Fitzsimmons taking perhaps one of my favorite Kill Tony entrances of all time. The old bang on the door technique. Doesn't happen that much
Starting point is 00:05:41 on such a well-produced live show. But when it does, we prove to you that this is a live show. I think that that's going to be a recurring nightmare, but it's Letterman. Yeah. And you hear, well, Letterman's gone. Jesus. Now it's just Kill Tony.
Starting point is 00:05:58 That's the only thing left. That's it. You're like, let me in. I'm missing my... It's time for him to go, I think. Time for what? For Letterman? Nobody ever mentions it anymore.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Nobody gives a fuck. Isn't it true? Everybody cares about Joe Rogan's podcast, stuff like that. Seriously, nobody gives a fuck about Letterman. Does anybody miss him? This is amazing. It's so true.
Starting point is 00:06:22 What kind of a way is that to start a show with something negative? Hey, too bad about Letterman, huh? Miss him. Miss him already. That's what I was just talking about. Sometimes something funny will happen and I'll think, God, what would Letterman have said?
Starting point is 00:06:37 And then joked about not working. Right. And then thrown a pencil at the TV. And then you're out. Smooth system. If only Rowdy Roddy would have been alive for this. Normally I ask the guests a question, or normally instead of me
Starting point is 00:06:56 asking the guests a question like we do on every show I just entrust the band leader Pat Reagan to ask his own question, whatever he might want to know about a couple of his favorite comedians. So, in no particular order, Pat, fire off your questions this week. Alright, let's go with seniority first. Dom? Yes, darling.
Starting point is 00:07:13 What was your worst gig ever? Worst gig ever? I went to a gig in somewhere around the Route 10s somewhere with my girlfriend and it was all Indian women or Pakistani women with like dots in their head and I said to the guy, are you sure you saw
Starting point is 00:07:28 my HBO special? He goes, yeah just do your act. I said, I'll just clean it up. He goes, no, no, fucking do it. And I start doing it and this guy and I forgot that the cow was sacred to them. I said something about some fat fucking cow. And people
Starting point is 00:07:44 started, women were crying. And they weren't crying laughing. And one guy stands up like he's having a heart attack. You do not do this in front of my people. Right? And I go, oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:07:54 So everything was going wrong. So all I did, everything got in slow motion like chariots of fire. Good reference, huh? Keep them hip. And I remember grabbing, it was $2,500. remember grabbing those $2,500.
Starting point is 00:08:05 I grabbed the $2,500 and just kept running. I never looked back. That's why I'm here today, my friend. Hell yeah. The only thing that could have made that story any sadder is if on your way up to the stage the door was locked and you had to bang on it to be able to get inside.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Pulling it all together. Pat, what's your question for Greg Fitzsimmons? All right. Hey, Greg. Hey. Hey. I asked this question last week, but I'm curious as to your answer. What would be your prison survival technique?
Starting point is 00:08:39 How would you survive in prison? Can I just interject for a second? For a question that you asked last week, it's amazing that you can't get it out. You're really struggling over there. Prison technique? Prison survival. Well, that's why you realize it wasn't a harmless question. This is rooted in some kind of fantasy.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Oh, yeah, definitely. And he's just logging more images for it. That's why they call me Lucky. Well, that's what it is. I think what you do is you push back. You act like you want it. Like with the ass? Yeah, you push your ass back.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Do a power bottom kind of thing? Yeah, when they... And it just freaks them out because they're used to a guy being scared and pulling away. Right. The fantasy lies in the fact that you're being raped. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:28 So if you take away the, oh, he's not enjoying this aspect, I could see why that would work. Yeah, and also, you know, do a lot of stretching so you can try to make eye contact with him while you're pushing back. And then just watch your dance card empty out.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Alright. Great questions, Pat Reagan. and then just watch your dance card empty out. Oh, man. All right. Great questions, Pat Reagan. Put your hands together for Pat one more time. Well, you guys have both been on this show before, two of our favorites. This is a show where over 40 comedians signed up for the chance, stacked deep in the back crevices and back hallways
Starting point is 00:10:04 and green rooms of this giant building. They signed up for the chance to perform 60 seconds of stage time on this stage in front of the greats. And comedians, you know your 60 seconds is up when you hear the sound of a kitty.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Aww. That means wrap it up then. Earl, she's going to bring out the angry West Hollywood bear. Jesus. You ever notice how Lainey and Jerry always plug their ears before the bear? I love it. Our resident couple, Lainey and Jerry, never miss an episode. If you would have told me that these two were going to outlive Rowdy Roddy Piper,
Starting point is 00:10:46 I would have said, no fucking way. That's a joke, guys. They're not laughing at that. They actually lived here when there were bears here. There's plenty of bears in West Hollywood, believe me. I wish the podcast listeners could see them. They just stand out. They're the most adorable little old couple.
Starting point is 00:11:08 I mean, come on. Is that an insult to call old people old? But you're just... All right, well, you finally got insulted all these years that you've been coming to the show. Those young seniors. I just attacked the only people that come to every single show, of course.
Starting point is 00:11:26 It's like I'm doing what Greg said it's like I'm pushing in order to all right for pushing you already use that yeah don't push push back back make sure we got contact guys back to the show comedians wrap it up then Brett don't bring out the bear just do your 60 seconds are you guys ready for Kill Tony yeah here we go the first comedian doing uninterrupted 60 seconds and then talking to us on this stage
Starting point is 00:11:55 goes by the name oh a regular here and the newest employee of the comedy store actually hired from being seen on this show put your hands together for Fang Chao, everybody. My Chinese name is Fang Chao. I got 700 points on my SAT test just for the name.
Starting point is 00:12:24 I grew up in a country called China. just for the name. I grew up in a country called China. Over there, people beat their kids all the time. When I was growing up, my mom beat me up five times, totally. That day was a really rough day for me. My Chinese grandma died last year. Before she died,
Starting point is 00:12:49 all she wanted to see is me getting married with a Chinese chick and make more Chinese babies. I said it to my grandma. I said, Grandma, I love you with all my heart. I will do anything to make you happy.
Starting point is 00:13:03 But you know I don't like the Chinese chicks. You are being one of them right now. Sorry to be the disappointment. No matter who I marry or what type of baby I make, you ain't gonna live long enough to see them. Wow, there you go. Special gong for you, Fang Chao. Very funny minute. I feel
Starting point is 00:13:32 like you get paid every time you say the word Chinese. It's happening to me. You have some kind of deal or something where you get like 50 bucks per Chinese because you just said Chinese literally about 11 times in 60 seconds. It seems like this people liked it. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that. A challenge right to Tony.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Or a chow-lenge, if you will. From Fang Chao. He got you there. Give me another gong. It's weird because you have no discernible accent. Where are you from, really? I am originally from Beijing, China.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Are you serious? I'm too serious. I thought I heard a little Boston in there. Is that where you got that same haircut as every other Asian guy I've ever seen? It's the Chinatown, downtown LA. That's where I got it. Dang, I like your style.
Starting point is 00:14:30 You might be one of the only Asian guys I ever met that has arm tattoos all the way down to the wrist. You pretty much, like, are never going to be a businessman. No. Like, you totally went full artist. What did your Chinese... Believe it or not, over in China, they do teach us how to be a rock star.
Starting point is 00:14:48 So I'm one of them. Wow, I like that. Fuck yeah. I didn't get a clap for that shit, guys. I feel like the Horse of Truth coming out early. Whoa, one of the new favorites here at Kel Tony. The Horse of Truth has made its debut in the past
Starting point is 00:15:07 couple months. It's one of my favorites. So they arm tattoos. You're pretty committed to jobs that just start after 9 o'clock at night. What did your grandma say when she saw those tattoos? She died. Oh, that's it.
Starting point is 00:15:24 So you wrote the joke before getting the tattoos. No, she didn't. I really respect my grandparents. When I go over to their house, I always wear a long sleeve shirt to cover it up. Well, we have these lanterns here to make you feel at home. Oh my gosh, yep.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Just for you. Every time I get homesick, I come to kill Tony and guys. Even if I don't get picked I'll just sit back there And you know Feel great about myself About the lanterns It's a heartwarming story

So welcome to the Comedy Store. You're going to fit in great. Thanks. Thanks, Pat. Now, Fang, when did you move from China? 2009.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Wow. 2009. If you didn't get it, it's a Chinese food. A very special year. One of the only years that has an F in it. Does your tattoos mean anything in particular, or is it just a map to get home? Oh, my God. What a douchebag, Red Bam. Happy birthday. Oh, god. What a douchebag, Rep Am.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Happy birthday. Oh, Jesus Christ. What the fuck? Jesus. You just made... Dom almost hit his head on the ceiling somehow. You're blowing through the sound effects pretty quick. That's the infamous gunshot
Starting point is 00:17:06 That is notorious Did you jump, Greg? That scare you? Red Band's got all the subtlety of a $5 prostitute Speaking of $5 prostitute Fang, do you have any sisters? I have a couple cousins Come on, guys I have a couple cousins brought it down

Starting point is 00:18:45 Well, who do you think's buying them from you when you're selling them? White people, you know, America, guys. You know, I've never been with an Asian woman for free, but let me tell you something. Wait, but when you just said, let me tell you something, what were you going to tell us?
Starting point is 00:19:06 Just a trail off. Come on. He's supposed to be supporting me. By the way, I wrote some witty quips down for you to say later. It's so funny to follow up a comedian's joke with asking him, what's the next thing? Come on, is the next thing going to be funny too? Fang, you have any plans to go back to China?
Starting point is 00:19:30 Not this year. I saved up some money and I just want to go full force to do stand-up comedy here. Yeah. Fuck China. It's too dirty over there. I think that's the U.S. foreign policy right now. That is the problem there. It's really dirty over there. I think that's the U.S. foreign policy right now. That is the problem there. It's really dirty there.
Starting point is 00:19:48 The air pollution is really high. And my friends always call. They're like, do you have any ways to get us to the United States? I was like, fuck you guys. Fuck, yeah. Very sweet. But I hear that comedy is exploding in China. There's a huge stand-up scene.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Yeah, a lot of expats, like Americans, Australians, the people from UK. Actually, last year I went home, I did do stand-up comedy there. But I don't think the Australians or the British are funny. Back me up on this one. You're talking to a bunch of Americans. No, the Australians. I did a show in Melbourne once and my jokes all went down the toilet
Starting point is 00:20:30 but in the opposite direction that they normally run. Boom. Arang. Double Australian. Fang. One more question. What is your overall goal? You want to have Fang Chow, Okay. Fang, one more question. If you could do, like,
Starting point is 00:20:45 what is your overall goal? You want to have like Fang Chao, the sitcom on NBC? You want to host something? Call Fuck China. Or it could be called Rice Money. Okay. Or you could
Starting point is 00:20:59 call it Something Funny would be cool, too. I will work on that, Tom. I will work on that. Fang, what's your overall goal? Just to do stand-up in America? I want to, yes, yes. That's it? Just to do stand-up.
Starting point is 00:21:13 I want to get into a movie or TVs, but... What's your dream role in a movie? Be myself, the China man. I just feel like I should like... Okay. You've really thought this out. I love it. Well, ciao.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Enjoy the show, guys. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, brothers. How long... I'm sorry, did I cut you off? No, I was speaking Chinese.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Shay Shay. Ni Hao. Chang Chang Chang. Chang Chang Chang. How long ago did you decide that you were going to say ciao to him at the end of his set? Right before.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Really? Yeah, right before. Oh, that was good. Yeah. I was going to say that. Now you guys are critiquing each other? What the hell's happened to this show? Bring somebody up.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Fang Chao's on Twitter at Fang Chao 8080. F-E-N-G-C-H-A-O. He's already on Twitter? Yeah. What fucking balls from having a minute? He's already 879 other Fang Chaos. 8,000. His Twitter is Feng Chao.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Feng Chao. Wow. 80-80. That's a big country. You know, the Winter Olympics is going to be in Beijing. It is? And they have no snow. Anybody see that?
Starting point is 00:22:36 This is not a bit. Once in a while we talk like human beings. But did you ever notice? What sport of the... They're having the Olympics there? They're having the Olympics there, and they have no snow. They have to make snow. Well, they did that in Russia, and it was a disaster.
Starting point is 00:22:55 You'd think they'd learn. No. The winter Olympics? Chernobyl, right? The winter Olympics. That'll be interesting, watching all the skiers go downhill and looking like the people in the audience.
Starting point is 00:23:10 You know? I lost everybody. Just trying to describe the fact that your eyes are out. There you go. Just give me pure feedback. Brian, you're doing a good job with the sound tonight. It's Brian Redband on the ones and twos. Guys, I pulled another name out of the bucket,
Starting point is 00:23:26 and it looks like a new name, so I'm excited to see what happens here. Amory Lee. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm a mother. I was a mother for six weeks. He didn't pull out. My mom is watching my daughter right now at home.
Starting point is 00:24:02 In her little jar. I mean, I take care of her sometimes. I take her to Chuck E. Cheese. I take her to the park. I open up the jar so she could float faster. Because of the wind. So, just moved to California a month ago.
Starting point is 00:24:40 And thank you. Fuck yeah. Anne-Marie Lee with 60 seconds. You want to keep going? You want to finish that? And thank you. Fuck yeah. Yeah. Amory Lee with 60 seconds. You want to keep going? You want to finish that? You good? Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:53 So just to get this straight. Okay, Pat. Pat Reagan, everybody. Wow. Holy moly. Go on, Pat. You have a live baby in a jar of water? No, she's saying she got an abortion
Starting point is 00:25:07 She put it in a jar even though that's something that no one ever does And then furthermore Her mom watches the jar With the baby floating inside It's very believable She does things with the jar It's embryonic fluid It's like a fluid
Starting point is 00:25:21 Can we get a replay of that for Pat Reagan? A replay of the 60 seconds. So let me get this straight. Okay. Amory Lee. I like your style. How long have you been doing stand-up? Three years and a half.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Are you serious? Three years and a half? Holy shit. Three years and a half. Why am I the only person that found that funny when it first happened? It's a weird audience. I've been going for six years and a quarter a month. Anne-Marie, where are you from?
Starting point is 00:25:59 I'm from Miami. How long have you been in L.A.? It's been a month. Wow. And are you Chinese? I'm Cuban-Japanese. Cuban-Japanese. Oh, World War II served you well, huh?
Starting point is 00:26:15 Horse of truth. You brought out the horse of truth, Greg. You bring a lot of joy. You really do. It's... As soon as you stepped on that stage, people felt good about themselves. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Thank you. Yeah, I liked how you did the deadpan thing because the audience even picked up on it and then they started doing the deadpan thing. It's contagious. I try to give a fuck as much as possible. You really did. And I got to give you credit for that, for sure.
Starting point is 00:26:51 I mean, like, you know, it's not easy to stay locked in when not much is happening. Like, I was waiting for you to break at some point because I feel like that's an easier thing to do than to actually still stay deadpan, whether it's working or not working. Three and a half years, right? Is that what that translates to? Three and a half years. And you've been here a month.
Starting point is 00:27:18 What types of places were you performing in Miami? In Miami, I did the improv. The one that closed down? They closed that, right? The one in the Grove, they closed down, but I did the one in West Palm Beach. How many spots would you say a month you were doing in the three and a half years?
Starting point is 00:27:35 I went up at least five to six times a week, open mics, bars, and then I opened up my own room for a year, and I had really good headlinersers I had Esther Kuh I had a bunch of people it's okay Emery everything's okay
Starting point is 00:27:51 what were you like when you were bad? what? what were you like when you were rusty and bad? I was happy I like that you didn't abort any of your jokes I was happy the rest of your jokes. I was happy. Is the rest of your material in the same kind of ballpark?
Starting point is 00:28:11 Are you very dark and graphic? Or is that just something new that you're trying? I'm trying something new. Usually when I would go on stage, I'd be like, hey guys, how's it going? I like that. That's a whole different person. No, that's not me.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Because at the end of the day, there's a lot of things. I feel good doing this. And this is the first time I've ever done it. And regardless of what just happened and what you guys just saw, this is it right here. That's good. I love that. At the end of the baby killing day. No, look, you know, a lot of, like, Stephen Wright went up like that for a lot of years
Starting point is 00:28:46 and did not get laughs he was told by guys like Don Gavin and Sweeney they told him to quit and then obviously he's a good actor I would have a two jar maximum though in a minute
Starting point is 00:29:01 three jars in a minute. Three jars in a minute. Okay. Yeah. Okay. You said jar almost as much as Fang Chao said Chinese. Okay. I think when it's that redundant, you've got to make it a shock.
Starting point is 00:29:19 If you want to be shocked, you have to have something. The funniest thing to me was a segue about, I just moved out here. You were talking about the darkest fucking dead fetus. And then, yeah, so I'm originally from Miami. The connection was so far it made me laugh. What are some of your other bits about specifically? If you had a set list, what would the title of some of your jokes look like? Construction Worker.
Starting point is 00:29:44 What's that one? That one's basically just the things that construction workers say to me when I'm going to my car. That's another bubbly one that I just kind of just didn't really. Hey, lady, you dropped your jar. Wow, he just turned that all into one amazing bit with that. The thing that's, I guess, what we're so shocked about, like when you said three and a half years,
Starting point is 00:30:19 because it's very common knowledge, like people who start off, there's so many abortion jokes. Like if you go through the mics, everyone has an abortion joke. Everyone tries it for a couple months. Everyone gives up on it a couple months, usually. But, like, the whole twist in your story where we find out that it was an abortion in a jar, that's been done so many times. So it's all to us.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Brian, if a woman wants to do an abortion joke, it's her right to choose. Yeah. Yeah. So why don't you do what she did with her jar and put a lid on it, all right? And let your mom watch it in an imaginary land. Take it to Chuck E. Cheese.
Starting point is 00:30:58 I mean, because there's so many things that are working against you. Not only is there probably half these girls in here have had abortions, there's probably a couple of them that had abortions today in this audience even so immediately when you bring up abortion you're meeting bringing up bad feelings for a lot of people so it's really hard to get through that
Starting point is 00:31:12 make it funny enough to to support to work so that's what a lot of people early on learn is like hey man it's not worth it unless you have that one thing that's like holy shit you took an abortion joke to the next level yeah that wasn't to the next level that was wasn't to the next level. That was really uncomfortable to watch. I couldn't even stare at you because I was just like, Jesus Christ, I can't watch this. That's the negative reaction
Starting point is 00:31:33 you want from an audience. Sounds like somebody just bankrolled an abortion recently. Exactly. Seriously. Jesus Christ. Someone forgot to pull out. Someone forgot to pull out. It's all good. There you go. That's like your get her done or something.
Starting point is 00:31:47 T-shirt. Somebody forgot to pull out. Yeah, you know, I mean, if you're going to, I think what Brian was trying to say was, you know, if you're going to cover abortion, you got to hit it hard. You know what I mean? Because the topic itself is very jarring. And, you know, you're going to shake. You know, you get people like shaken up. And then all of a sudden they're like, you know, they want to laugh.
Starting point is 00:32:20 You know, they're waiting for something. You just got to fucking, you know. Yeah, because you got them on the hook. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah, you know they're waiting for something you just gotta fucking you know yeah cause you got them on the hook oh I'm sorry yeah yeah you know they're waiting for something like a joke they'd be waiting for that anyway

Starting point is 00:33:06 I wish you would show a little of that besides the cold stare because that was so charming and disarming. There has to be another part of you. I think that would make the abortion stuff funnier. Do you know what I mean? If there was a juxtaposition to something, when you just come out and be mean,
Starting point is 00:33:20 that's what got us a little uncomfortable. Yeah, you need the softer side of Sears. If you can get a guy... But Amory, come back soon. Don't let it be another three years and a half. Amory. I love that. You're right.

Starting point is 00:34:20 Enter the promo code Marin. I used to have to shoplift for money to buy heroin. I used to steal Rosetta Stone language software from Target. It's pretty easy. All you have to do is when you're walking out and the alarm goes off, just be a white guy with glasses. That's it. So I used to sell it on eBay for half of what it costs,
Starting point is 00:34:43 and then it turns out Rosetta Stone actually has these goons that go out and they make sure nobody's doing that so they shut down my eBay account I had to start selling it on Craigslist I swear to God this is true I literally had to start meeting dudes in sketchy parking lots to sell them Rosetta Stone language they'd be like you said it was going to be Italian
Starting point is 00:34:58 I'm like it's Portuguese motherfucker you take what I give you fuck yeah Dan Nolan. 57 seconds of thunder. Now, Dan, you were on last week. Just a week ago, yeah. You are still as creepy looking as you were last week. Really creepy.

How many crimes have you gotten away with? Oh my god it's so weird when you're a white guy that just looks like me you can get away with so much
Starting point is 00:35:34 shit. That's so true. White privilege is just a real thing because I used the shit out of it so don't ever let anyone tell you it's not true. You could all be stealing Rosetta Stone language software. Wow. It's a real human being. You seem like a really, like a gross Harry Potter.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Yeah. And by that shirt you're wearing, I'm guessing you've been here about a month. You're from Miami. This was actually, I had a second interview today, so this is my other nice shirt. Wow, that's your nice shirt? Oh, my God. I mean, your collar is bent up on itself. Do you know what shirts are supposed to look like?
Starting point is 00:36:21 Was that once a better shirt? It was. It was nice. That collar has fallen harder than the Greek currency sorry I didn't mean to get political it is a really bad collar for you podcast listeners

It's a caller joke. Come on. You think I have... Actually, I did have that one locked and loaded.
Starting point is 00:36:49 But really, I mean, what's your living situation where your shirt gets that wrinkled? Like, you can always really tell, like... Yeah, we talked about this last week. I live in a sober living house, so I don't have a closet or anything. It's like a bin that I have to stuff all my clothes into. That makes it much sadder than I was hoping.
Starting point is 00:37:10 I'm moving out soon. I think I just got a job today. You think you got a job? Wow. Look at that. Where is this possible job at? Hopefully LensCrafters because your frames are...
Starting point is 00:37:25 I know. Do you put those on the sober house as solar panels when you go there? These are actually jail issued. For real? What? They're fucking huge. Those are the biggest glasses I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, jail issued. But I kind of like the way they look.
Starting point is 00:37:40 So I kept them. Wow. You need glasses. It's like John Tesh, 1982. Is that where you got your glasses? From jail? Yeah, these are really Joe glasses. Did you push backwards?
Starting point is 00:37:58 Yeah. No, and I don't want to insult your glasses. I don't want to insult you, but it's really good that you have such a huge nose. Otherwise, you'd never be able to hold those up. I mean, your nose is fucking huge. I got kicked in the face once when I was like 15. I used to have a beautiful, perfect nose,
Starting point is 00:38:17 and then my friend kicked me in the face. Your friend kicked you in the face? Yeah, my best friend. Your best friend? Yeah. What did you do to deserve that? Oh, I was a drunken mess. I was an alcoholic for a long time.
Starting point is 00:38:27 And then I started doing heroin. And so that cured my alcoholism. Yeah. Well, I'm getting interested. What's it feel like? Is it great? Oh, it's terrific. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:38:40 But I used to have a really great career in television. I was marginally successful and stuff and then I just fucking ate away my entire soul and ruined my life you were marginally
Starting point is 00:38:50 successful on TV yeah well I was I was an editor for a while and then I started working in locations on some like real shows and shit

You got location manager. You started living that rock star lifestyle. Everybody knows that story.
Starting point is 00:39:09 One second to the location manager. Next thing you're just tying one off. Just the cold needle going right into the vein. You feel that first spurt and your eyes just roll back. And people are like, where the fuck's Tom? He's supposed to be managing the location.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Did you shoot it? Yeah, for the last four or five months. Wow, you shot it. How fucking cool. That is really cool. I always wanted to do that, but I don't like getting sick to myself. I mean, obviously it's terrific, but it's also just terrible. No, it's not terrible don't look
Starting point is 00:39:45 at it like that I'm richer for the experience certainly and no tattoos how'd you become a junkie and not get tattoos yeah Fang Chow's never tried heroin and he has your tattoos I'm sorry I cut you off no I just said I was afraid of getting

All right. Oh, fuck yeah. Hey, don't dismiss that. That's actually a good joke for your act, for your routine. I'm a pretty funny guy.
Starting point is 00:40:15 That's kind of what I'm going for. Wow, look at that. I love you guys. I'm such huge fans of you guys, both of you. That's so great. I've won three Emmy Awards. I was number 79 in the top 100 comedians of all time. But anyway, let's get back to this.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Wow, you're marginal. I got nominated for an Emmy last year for documentary research. That's great. Really? I won four daytime Emmys. For what? For writing and producing on Ellen Really? So you didn't have to ask that
Starting point is 00:40:51 I looked up prostitutes in Denver For a guy who won an Emmy My boss, internship Fuck yeah Pat Reagan sometimes shoots from three point range and uh you know it's always it's always the best you worked with ellen for four years for no i was a writer and a producer so we uh i won i was there for two years but the show won best show and the writers won best writing for the first two years so I got four and was fired.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Being next to Dan puts you, this is the first time since then you've been this close to Ellen's haircut. If you look at his hair, then it's funny, you idiots. I can hear the people on you stream laughing. Hi, Kai. Kai Aarons, everybody, one of the best artists in the world
Starting point is 00:41:41 is sitting in the back of the room. Quick shout-out, Kai Aarons, kiaarons.com. Why were you fired from Ellen? Yeah, what happened? One of the best artists in the world is sitting in the back of the room. Quick shout out. Kai Aarons, kiaarons.com. Why were you fired from Ellen? Yeah, what happened? Too much sexual tension? I was unhappy, and I think I might have forced her hand by not going to the meetings and playing ping pong about six to seven hours a day. I could do it. Ellen's lifestyle, I'm guessing she gets her hand forced quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:42:04 You know what I'm saying? Because there's no dicks in lesbianism, so they use their hands to please each other a lot. It's a lesbian thing. Anyway. It's a lesbian thing. It's a lesbian thing. Dan.
Starting point is 00:42:18 I thought you were almost too polished at times. Like, I didn't... Your cadence was... I wasn't catching up to it. How many times have you done that bit about the rosetta stone i've been doing it about two weeks oh that's oh wow yeah now i've only been doing stand-up like for close to four months oh man just been doing four months and i'm fucking great anyway i'm uh you know i'm just fucking awesome geez you said me yeah that's
Starting point is 00:42:40 impressive you're really good you're very very funny. And it seems like sometimes with comedians, they haven't had enough pain to justify them being on stage yet. You fucking shot heroin for years. What was he up to do? That's what I'm saying. I'm saying, like, he earned his spot on a stage. Sometimes you get kids that, like, you know, their parents paid for college,
Starting point is 00:42:58 and then they started working at the UCB theater. And they're just propped up little fucking vanilla nothings. But you've sucked a dick for drugs. No, no, I never had to suck a dick. Yeah, you did. No, I didn't. And Greg knows because it was his dick that you sucked for the drugs that he was also selling at the time.
Starting point is 00:43:24 That's it. Holy shit. Dan, how long did you spend in prison? because it was his dick that you sucked for the drugs that he was also selling at the time. Holy shit. Dan, how long did you spend in prison? I was in jail for six months. Just regular jail, not actual prison. White guy jail. Where was that at? Orange County Jail in New York.

Put your hands together for Stephen Fury. Stephen Fury. What's up, man? How you doing? Good. Cool. Did I just go? Cool. All right, man. This is cool being here. You are me, you are me that to me when I die, because I think it would be a gross misrepresentation of who I am as a man. They'd be like,
Starting point is 00:46:05 we found this body here, and as you can tell from this diet of gummy bears, hot Cheetos, and Little Caesars pizzas, this, my friends, is a homeless eight-year-old boy. Probably left in a river, given his disgusting bloated appearance. This is disgusting. Just move, man.
Starting point is 00:46:26 Just move next to a Mexican supermarket. Y'all ever been to a Mexican supermarket? I like Mexican supermarkets because it's just like a Safeway if it had no rules at all. Like just complete anarchy. There's no expiration dates on anything at all. Went over to a piece of meat, picked it up. The date just said manana. That's always tomorrow, man.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Holy shit. Stephen Fury. Unbelievable. I love that. Wow. You're like a real fucking rock star, man. Thanks, bro. This doesn't happen that often.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Thank you. And for the podcast listeners, you don't even Thanks, bro. This doesn't happen that often. And for the podcast listeners, you don't even appreciate, he's doing his act in whiteface. Most of the time. It's normally blackface, but tonight... Gotta spice it up, man. Oh my fucking God. Steven Fury, where the fuck are you from?
Starting point is 00:47:25 San Francisco, Sacramento area, man. Wow. How long have you been doing stand-up? About three and a half years. Three and a half years. I'm still doing halves right now. I'll give you the days if you need. I met somebody, except they've been doing it three years and a half.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Big difference in the two sets. Doing it the same amount of time. Steven, you must be going up a lot, right? Is this like a natural thing? Are you like the last guy, the heroin guy, where it's like, I've only been on stage four times in three and a half years. And I'm just fucking awesome. Just doing the shit upstate, up in
Starting point is 00:47:59 NorCal, just hitting all the clubs, punchlines and shit like that. I love that. I love your body lines, your position, because you acted like you're a big, fat guy. I lost a little weight. You leaned back like you were going to say, I was in Kentucky. Just eight, you know, man, just feeling it through. You're acting fatter than you are. It just made me laugh.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Did you used to be fatter at some point? Yeah, I would say about 25 times. Still living that fat life. How long have you been in L.A.? About four days. Wow. Did you just move from up there or are you just visiting? I'm just visiting.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Came to check it out. Why don't you do stand-up in L.A. instead of up north? You have a family? I get paid a lot more up north. Oh, shit. How much are you making? About a couple hundred bucks a month, Greg. Hey, there you go.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Living that pimp life, playboy. You know what go. Wow. That's not Pibb Live, Playboy. You know what I'm saying? It's amazing what an honest dancer does. What's the most you ever made in one gig? 800. 800? That's not bad. I had my own show.
Starting point is 00:48:55 I had to produce that shit. Yeah. Off night. You had to pick the people up to drive them to the show? Yeah, most of the time. That's cool. It was an Uber, though. Yeah, when you walked on stage, you were so aggressive, I thought
Starting point is 00:49:07 he was coming at us. I was like, holy shit. I loved it. I knew you were going to be good from the second he looked at me and he said, you want me to go now? I was smiling the entire time for the rest of it. If you want me to go now, fuckface. Right. When you want me to stop murdering your little fucking show.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Are you going to be in town Friday? I'd like to have you at the Ice House show if you can make it on Friday. Wow, look at that. That was awesome. Look at that. Steven Fury. So Steven, what do you do for work? How do you make a living?
Starting point is 00:49:42 I work for an NPO for a non-profit for poor ass kids after school programs. Poor-ass kids. I get the feeling you don't talk like that at that job. You can talk. They don't have parents. They can't tell no one. Wow. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Steven Thierry is here to be a star, everybody. He's like trying to break out right now. Is Johnny Carson in the back of the room like the good old days? Can somebody make him a star? You really should spend more time in LA because I think you can make it pretty fast, man. If your regular set is any indication of just
Starting point is 00:50:16 that minute, Jesus Christ. Do you have kids up north? No, thank God. You didn't make any kids? No, fuck no. Then you really have to figure out a way to call the kids that don't have parents or something and, you know. Skype them. Be in position for good things to happen.
Starting point is 00:50:32 I can leave them. Everyone else left them. You know what I mean? We'll be the first one. They're used to it. There you go. There you go. All right, cool.
Starting point is 00:50:39 That was the loudest laugh I've ever heard one of these guys get. Yeah. About the Safeco thing. Yeah. No, definitely. Great. About the Safeco thing. Yeah. No, definitely. Great. Cool, man. Hey, what are you doing on Thursday night?
Starting point is 00:50:49 I'm actually doing, I just remembered I'm opening for Pablo this weekend at Sack Punchline. But I'll be back. I was going to say, I need somebody to watch my kids. I'm good with deadbeat dads and shit like that. It wouldn't be the first time. I am. I'm a deadbeat dad every weekend. See you. See you, ass't be the first time. I am. I'm a deadbeat dad every weekend. See you.
Starting point is 00:51:05 See you, assholes. Going to Sacramento. Steven, what are your big goals? Do you want to act and stuff or just stand up? I want to stand up. Wow. Or clubs. How much time do you think that you have?
Starting point is 00:51:18 I feature a lot of clubs for like 25, 30. That's so cool. It's amazing how good you are for only doing it in such a short period of time and doing it in Northern California. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:29 So, I mean, anything else, guys? Best of luck to you, Steven. Cool, man. Good luck. You know, what's crazy about this show,
Starting point is 00:51:38 what's interesting about the anatomy of Kill Tony is that the least funny that it ever gets is when somebody kills. You know? Right. Like when somebody murders it's just like, alright dude, well go keep working. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:51:54 You're wasting your time with us. Right. Yeah. It figures the funniest guy on the show is the one person that doesn't say to me and Dom that they look up to us. Incredible. person that doesn't say to me and Dom that they look up to us. Incredible observation. You know, okay, and here's another thing since I just pulled
Starting point is 00:52:13 this name out of the bucket. Normally, when I read a name like Stephen Fury, who is the only Stephen Fury on Twitter, by the way. That's that last comedian. We all loved Stephen Fury. But when you see a name like that, what I've learned from so much of hosting the open mics here at the Comedy Store and this show in
Starting point is 00:52:29 particular is that when there's a goofy name, it's almost always not like that. You know, Stephen Fury is almost the exception. When you hear Fury, you're like, oh, this is going to be some crazy character. But when I pull this name and I just read it, I have a feeling that this has got to be weird. So put your hands together for Al
Starting point is 00:52:45 Ali the Greatness. Of course. Oh, please be a real human. Please. Al Ali the Greatness. He's a disappearing greatness right now. He's asleep.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Wake him up, you fucking idiots. Wake him up. I'm the only one in my life Just like it's a secret to me It's great to be back here. I was on a crack hiatus. Now I'm back. It feels great to be here. You know the crack over there? What is it?
Starting point is 00:53:44 It's crack. I? That's it. That's crack. I have flashbacks sometimes. I know y'all probably think it's dreadlocks, but it started out as a jerry curl. And I sold my curl like a baby, and it gets more crack. And this is what happened. And doing the crack,
Starting point is 00:54:11 I'm here to tell y'all, it ain't what it's cracked up to be. I was kind of asleep back there. I had this on before. I know I should have stayed in school. I didn't read the... All right. You could...
Starting point is 00:54:34 Okay, okay, okay. Brian, relax. I don't think your real name is Al. Al, how's it going, buddy? Talk to the mic. Talk in the mic to us. You have the cord wrapped around your stuff that you carry around with you.
Starting point is 00:54:53 It's going pretty good. I feel great to be all crack and have a mic in my hand. Is that a bra? Yeah. You have a bra, a hat, a shirt, and a sign that says... What does that sign say? Rockstar. Rockstar.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Fuck yeah. You know what I like about you, Al, Ali, the greatness, other than everything, is that you just say crack and it's funny. Right. It's your Chinese. Chinese crack. On a serious note, Al, be careful going home. There's your Chinese. Chinese crack.
Starting point is 00:55:25 On a serious note, Al, be careful going home. There's a lot of crazy street people. Horse of truth. The horse of truth is out. Al, you know, normally a comedian comes up and I see that they're wearing a tie and I think, oh, here we go again. Another one of these comedians
Starting point is 00:55:51 that wears a tie. Some more hacky bullshit. And it was not hacky at all. No, the whole outfit looks like did you fight your way out of a Salvation Army bin? Al, what's your story? How long have you been doing crack?
Starting point is 00:56:13 I figure we start with the crack, you know. I was doing it a while ago and I got depressed. And I got a brother that's real rich and he ain't talking to me right now. Snoop Dogg? Your brother's real rich? Snoop Dogg? Your brother's real rich? I mean, your last name is The Greatness. I can't imagine what your brother must be like. Stevie Wonder?
Starting point is 00:56:42 Verbally adopted. Fuck yeah. He ain't talking to me right now because I've been messing up. I'm trying to get back to his life, you know. Right. Did you say Stevie Wonder? Yeah, Stevie Wonder is his brother. Something like that.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Wow. Something like that. Al, Al, we love you. Steven, Steven Seagal. How long you been doing... Man, I gotta tell you, man. Al, how long you been doing stand-up? I came here a long time ago. I showcased in this room right here for Missy a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Really? Stevie Wonder is blind if he can't see your talent. Oh, somebody just shot the fucking horse of truth. Oh, I like the horse at you. Don't let Pat ruin that for us. God damn it, Pat. Did you hear that? It's incredible.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Al, so I'm guessing you haven't done stand-up between now and the time that you were here in the 80s after showcasing for Mitzi, right? You just said doing crack again. You're just sneaking it right in there. It's true. And he was smoking crack
Starting point is 00:58:04 at one point. Well, you know, it seems like now I guess you're doing better. You're comfortable in your own shoes, even though they're actually two different shoes. One's a Converse and one is a Nike. Yeah, you do. You have two different ones. Two different styles.
Starting point is 00:58:27 This may seem like a stupid question, but where do you work? You recycle? So you're an environmentalist. He works for a non-profit organization. An NPO. I love that. I love that. I love that. Al, where's your hood?
Starting point is 00:58:51 Where are you going to hang the rock star sign up at? Oh, a veteran. Fuck yeah. An American hero, ladies and gentlemen. How about that? Al Ali, the greatness. I didn't see your brother Stevie Wonder fighting for the military.
Starting point is 00:59:06 That's right. He can't? I know, I know. I've been making Stevie Wonder jokes for like two decades now. Anyway. I feel like it's, is it Kill Tony or is it non-celebrity rehab here tonight? There is a lot. There is a lot. There is a lot.
Starting point is 00:59:26 You know, we've had a heroin addict. We have Al Ali, the greatness, living his pipe dreams up here. A fetus in a jar. What a sick fucking night. Fuck yeah. Well, that's one of the uplifting things. What happened to the wholesome days of doing a line and fucking a waitress, you know?
Starting point is 00:59:48 It's going to be a great after party after this one. Al, I fucking love you. What's your biggest fear? Steve not talking to you. Steve not talking to you. Well, you know what? Why don't we try to...
Starting point is 01:00:02 Oh, you're not on Twitter. You know what? I was going to try to... Oh, you're not on Twitter. You know what? I was going to try to connect you two, but fuck yeah. So Stevie Wonder, if you're listening... No, no, don't put your number out. Stevie, if you're listening, your brother is in
Starting point is 01:00:17 North Hills. Just ask for Al Alley, the greatness, as if Al Alley wouldn't be enough to find him. I'm pretty sure you're the only the greatness in the North Hills. I had so much fun with you, Al Alley. Thanks for coming down. 60 seconds.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Fuck yeah. Thanks, Josh. He took a huge shit and didn't wash his hands earlier Thanks Josh For everybody who's wondering who this bomb artist is It's Josh Martin everybody The run around producer I don't want to be mean to Al
Starting point is 01:00:58 I really like Al Alley The greatness And I hope he makes the decision I don't even think you're making it clean, Josh. Yeah. Now Josh's hands are all fucked. I liked Al Alley the Greatness
Starting point is 01:01:14 and I hope he makes the decision to bum crack real soon. I mean come back real soon. Bum crack, I thought it would be. I had to switch the words around in the beginning and it didn't work, guys. Just when I was going to take on the name The Greatness.
Starting point is 01:01:29 I don't know if I heard him correctly, but what I heard was, you see a woman, she's going to be on crack. Did you understand him? I did. I felt bad because I liked him. He's so lovable and dirty. If you can't understand him, I think Dan Nolan
Starting point is 01:01:49 has some Rosetta Stone homeless edition. Homeless edition. That was a cool one. Well, you know, he left the crack behind, but he held on to the wardrobe, I guess. Well, I'm pretty sure he left the crack behind
Starting point is 01:02:06 because he smoked it about three hours ago. I don't think he was either clean nor sober. All right, you idiots. You fucking know what's funny. It's like they made a buzzer noise. That's the horn. Where's that horn at? Guys, I pulled another name out of the bucket.
Starting point is 01:02:31 Put your hands together for Chase Johnson. Hello. Alright. How's it going, guys? Well, me and my friends really love going to get Asian massages. This is for Feng, by the way. Me and my friends love to go get Asian massages. I'm sorry, but I don't really have any friends. But if you've never had one before, it's your basic one-hour massage with a little something extra at the end by a very sometimes pretty lady. Anyways, I can get into a lot of trouble because they're about $100, including tip, and they're very addictive. The way I keep myself out of trouble is I just jerk off a lot.
Starting point is 01:03:29 I actually, the reason why I do is because I feel like I'm saving $100 every time I do. So actually earlier today I saved $800. So I'm pretty stoked about that. I actually don't talk to girls very well. I don't really get with girls very often. You can finish it. Keep going. It's been actually two years since I've had sex. But I wonder why because
Starting point is 01:03:51 in such a world where women want equality, I feel like I'm the male equivalent of a female and that they would be really down for that. But they're not. Alright. There he is. Fuck yeah. Alright, there he is. Fuck yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:07 Chase Johnson. Thank you. I think Brian's having a stroke, everybody. Chase, how long have you been on stand-up? This is my first time. Wow! Thank God.
Starting point is 01:04:27 Oh, thank you, Jesus. Yes, thank you. I couldn't tell. Had you told me you've been doing it three and a half years, I would have been shocked. I know, I know. Chase, this is really interesting that Jared Leto would come in disguise and try stand-up comedy.
Starting point is 01:04:49 Dressed as Tig Notaro. Love you, Tig. Your joke is really good. I mean, the um, uh, uh thing, you have to listen to yourself, practice, get used to it, because that just killed it for everyone listening, because everyone's hearing your uhs, but the joke itself is funny, man. It's masturbating and feeling like you're saving money every time.
Starting point is 01:05:12 You can say something like it's like having a coupon or something that you're just constantly, you're making money almost, how much you're masturbating. I think you struck a chord with Brian. No, I just... Thank you. I recognize you from Rub Maps. Yes, I just. Thank you. I recognize you from rub maps. Orange County.
Starting point is 01:05:29 Everybody check it out. Do you go get Chinese massages? I will not confirm or deny anything. Come on. You're a comic. You got to be honest.
Starting point is 01:05:38 Have you? I have. And so walk me through that because I haven't been. Is there somebody said that there's like signals, like you leave your keys on the table,
Starting point is 01:05:47 and that means that you want to... No, I think it's... You put your Fang Chao comedy album at the end of the bed. One hour special. What did he say earlier that I... What's the fucking word? Oh, yeah. So how does it work? What do you do?
Starting point is 01:06:05 You just go and you talk to what they call the mama-san and you pay the price up front and then you go and... God, you've done this a lot. Everybody at the front of all those has the same name? No, it's a lonely life.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Do you do covered blowjobs? No, no, no. Jesus, alright. You just do the hand job? Jesus, all right. Whoa, whoa, the specialist over here. Wait. The prosecutor of... I mean, you said you spent $100. That should only be $90.
Starting point is 01:06:32 Well, it's $60 for an hour. Oh, you're doing the hour. So you actually want the massage. Yeah, I like the massage. Yeah. Wow. I like the massage a lot. It's confirmed.
Starting point is 01:06:44 Garden from Wayne's confirmed. I think we're going to call for another microphone wipe down at the end of this. You did say that you masturbated eight times today. I'm going to tell you the same thing I told the heroin addict. Put the needle down. Listen to the people trying to make a noise you guys are not
Starting point is 01:07:08 digesting brilliance correctly that's not why we laugh motherfuckers I don't want to be mean but maybe if you stop jerking off you'd have better material you're probably right and I don't want to give you hair care advice because I know you're going for the lazy mullet
Starting point is 01:07:26 But what are you thinking? What are you going for? I actually, well, to be honest I just got out of a job out east I drove across the country to come home And I've just kind of been letting it go Just let it go Out east
Starting point is 01:07:40 I've been unhappy for a while I let mine go also Chase What's your living situation? I've really kind of been unhappy for a while. I let mine go also. I like it. Chase, what's your living situation? How long have you lived in L.A.? Well, I'm from Orange County originally, but I moved back. I drove back like a month ago from New York. I'm just living with my family for a little bit
Starting point is 01:07:58 until I figure it out. You're jerking off in your family's house? Oh, yeah. In my grandma's house. Oh, it's even better. Grandma, was that you? What are you doing? You're jerking off in your family's house? In my grandma's house. Grandma, was that you? What are you doing? You're jerking off everywhere. Chase, you look like the kind of guy
Starting point is 01:08:11 that would jerk off just walking down a sidewalk. You know what I mean? Shoot a load on Al Alley, the greatness, and just keep walking. Who's the rock star now, bitch? who's the rock star now bitch oh fuck yeah i love that um what restaurant did you get that t-shirt from uh not a restaurant actually in mazatlan uh the pacifico brewery were you there? Well, my family, I never went. My family brought it back.
Starting point is 01:08:46 Wow. Just being honest. You sound like, I'm sorry. No, go on. No. I don't want to lose either one of them. But so your family would go on family vacations without you? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:59 Yeah, they hate me. No, they don't hate me. I was always working, and I went to college. You weren't always working. Yeah, I was. I had gone to college and worked and now it's the one month I haven't been working since college. This is the saddest thing I've ever heard in my life.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Beginning with your set, which was just sad. I don't know. Don't give up yet, Greg. This might have a happy ending. Okay. We might pull through after all. That's why the show is called Kill Tony, because Tony kills.
Starting point is 01:09:34 Thanks, Dom. Let's keep talking to this 11-year-old lesbian. You're back in L.A. How long have you been doing stand-up again? First time on stage. Chase, you're going to be amazing. This is incredible. Just keep on going up. Your first time ever on stage doing anything?
Starting point is 01:09:59 Yeah, no, I did a little improv in college, but that was it. Right, right. I could tell by the amount of punchlines you got out in 60 seconds that you have a strong improv training. Is that where you lost your chin? Whoa! Brian, are you making lack of chin jokes? There's no way we can judge you
Starting point is 01:10:25 Your biggest problem was the Us and the Ms thing If you could do that whole set Maybe with a couple tags The second time is going to be better Just keep on doing it Don't give up Especially on life
Starting point is 01:10:37 You look like both the school shooter And the victim It's incredible I don't know how you can pull off both At the same time You look like both the school shooter and the victim. It's incredible. I don't know how you can pull off both at the same time. It's very impressive. It might be the first time I've ever seen that done. Thank you, guys.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Thank you so much. Chase Johnson, everybody. There you go. Fist bumps. Smells like hand lotion. So we've had a heroin addict, crack addict and a masturbation addict Yeah definitely We just touched his hands But don't forget about
Starting point is 01:11:12 The baby in a jar Don't forget there was an uplifting part Some of that good maternal energy That hit the show earlier Guys this is the part of the show Where our two regulars, we have two regulars that have been performing
Starting point is 01:11:28 and writing a brand new minute every single week since the show started. It's actually sort of crazy because we've been doing the show over two years now. Wow. And these two people
Starting point is 01:11:36 write and perform a new minute every single week. Going up first this week, you know her as the Florida Dropout, everybody. She started, her very first time was here on Kill Tony.
Starting point is 01:11:46 And she's been with us every episode since put your hands together for Kimberly Congdon everyone applause applause applause applause thanks so much the weirdest thing just happened to me
Starting point is 01:12:02 downstairs this guy a guy I know I'm good friends with who very openly has a girlfriend just hit on me, he asked me out and I'm like dude I know you have a girlfriend and it's like it's so weird because I'm like ew that's so disgusting, you're not even rich
Starting point is 01:12:24 you're not even rich. You're not even the right guy to cheat on his girlfriend. I recently went to Vegas because I like to gamble. And by that I mean have sex without condoms. And I met a guy there who also likes to gamble. We both like playing blackjack, so we've started dating, and that's what we do a lot together, which is really good for our relationship
Starting point is 01:12:52 because now I always know when he's lying. I'll be like, were you texting that girl last night? And he goes... Fuck yeah. First time I've seen a first time I've seen a prof. I know I was really nervous about it.
Starting point is 01:13:17 You know it's been a new minute. We're really stretching her thin. A new minute every single week. Now it's come down to props. Gotta keep those... Gotta take your trusty sunglasses out to the nightclub with you so that you can close.
Starting point is 01:13:33 I saw her write that, though. We were watching poker last night. When you said it last night, it was so perfect and cut. You didn't even have a prop. Yeah, but that was three seconds. I think that the big difference there is poker and blackjack. I think there's no reason for the game to be blackjack because
Starting point is 01:13:49 poker is more of like the liar's game. Yeah, you don't bluff in blackjack. Unless you're sitting at the table trying to get free drinks off the waitress and she asks you, are you playing? Yeah. And you put on your glasses.
Starting point is 01:14:05 If you say poker... Yeah. Had you said poker, then when you put the sunglasses on, you would have heard a laugh from someone other than the cat. Oh, I thought that was great. Yeah, I think I said Texas Hold'em or poker. Right. Poker, yeah. Yeah, I can't believe I said that was great. Yeah, I said Texas Hold'em or poker.
Starting point is 01:14:26 Right. Poker, yeah. Poker. Yeah, I can't believe I said that. So what are you doing later? You want to hang? Yeah. Maybe we should just go over to my house.
Starting point is 01:14:36 Maybe you could almost reverse the joke and go like, you know, he has the best poker face. He's a professional poker player, which sucks because I never know when he's cheating on me, especially when he's wearing his glasses. You know what I mean? Like explain the joke at the front and then I don't know. You certainly don't need the actual sunglasses
Starting point is 01:14:54 to... Let's stop talking about it now. Look at you Brian almost writing a joke. What was your other joke? The other joke. It was about the guy being rich. Is that real?
Starting point is 01:15:10 Did that just happen? Well, no. Just a guy that has a girlfriend reached out to me on Facebook. And I was like, you're not even someone I'd be like, ooh, maybe. It's this poor guy that's cheating on his girlfriend.
Starting point is 01:15:25 Yeah, that's funnier. I think you needed to explain that. Because the first part was great. It's a great opening to walk on stage because I really bought it. I really was thinking, oh, I think she's just winging this because it sounded believable that a guy just hit on you downstairs.
Starting point is 01:15:42 Because Dom, I didn't know that Dom was here next to me so how's the process been going as far as writing a new minute every week it's getting really hard it's getting harder? how hard? Jesus Christ Brian
Starting point is 01:16:03 what did I tell you about being creepy? It's been hard since the beginning, but... How hard? Oh, stop it, Brian. What is this? Did you guys plan this or something? You know how hard it is to write a real joke every week, one minute? If you wrote that many jokes, I'm not good at math, you would have over an hour in a year. Yeah. I'm kidding.
Starting point is 01:16:27 It's like 165. I was fucking kidding. The one time I was kidding... Well, no, that'd be a day. That'd be 52 minutes per... No, actually, it's 52. Oh, shit. Wow. I think Fang Chao might need to do your math for you from now on. And your tattoos.
Starting point is 01:16:44 Oh! Is this thing off? for you from now on. And your tattoos. Oh. Is this thing off? What's the name of that character again? Fritzy Anderson. Fritzy Anderson. What do you call a dog with no legs? Nothing no matter what you call him, he ain't coming.
Starting point is 01:16:57 He's just on. Why do you wrap a gerbil in duct tape so when you fuck him, he don't explode? Ladies and gentlemen, where did I lose you, folks? I love Fritzy. Well, fun times.
Starting point is 01:17:14 You did it again. Kimberly Congdon, everybody. She's on Twitter, Kimberly Congdon. Instagram, Kimberly Congdon. Our only other regular, everybody. Same story, new minute every week. The fun and always goofy stylings of Sarah Weinshank, everyone. Sarah Weinshank.
Starting point is 01:17:38 A dude told me my body was sturdy. I felt offended because oak body was sturdy. I felt offended because oak trees are sturdy. Oxen, the foundations of homes, can't call a chick sturdy. I was like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 01:17:58 He's like, no, it's hot. Your legs look like they could carry a baby through the apocalypse. Your legs look like they could carry a baby through the apocalypse. Your legs look like you could carry my baby specifically through the apocalypse. And I said, if it's the apocalypse, the last thing I'm fucking doing is carrying a baby through the apocalypse.
Starting point is 01:18:22 And if it's the apocalypse, I'm especially not carrying the spawn of some dude who just called me sturdy through the apocalypse if it's the apocalypse I'm doing drugs alright that's it
Starting point is 01:18:39 fuck yeah I love that I loved it the first time you said that you wouldn't carry a baby through the apocalypse, I know they didn't laugh that much, but between us, they're not that great of an audience. That part was funny, and then the next part was funnier as well. That's a great new minute. Did somebody really call you sturdy?
Starting point is 01:19:00 Yeah. A few people have called me sturdy. Wow. I do not support that. Whoa. What sound effect are you going to play for that, huh? You did it so casually, the air quotes.
Starting point is 01:19:15 What's the support? Did you... There it is. And now, did you wear a skirt because you knew you were going to be talking about your legs? I always talk... Well, I always wear skirts, but I'm like, fuck it, I better show off these sturdy fucking legs. I'm not going to fuck around. It's not the day to wear pants. Now, you do yourself a disservice.
Starting point is 01:19:37 Did you play field hockey? No. Sports? No, my mom's just Puerto Rican. My dad's German, so it's like... Sweet. Wait for the apocalypse birthing process. Right.
Starting point is 01:19:50 Are you Jewish? Yeah, my dad's Jew. Yeah. I'm Jewish. You're too smart to be like a regular girl. Yeah, thanks. I thought you said he was German. Jewish German.
Starting point is 01:19:59 He's a German Jew. It's contradictory. So confusing. There were millions of them at one time. I've never heard this story. What happened next? Well, yeah. After 52 weeks or an hour,
Starting point is 01:20:17 whichever comes first. Fuck yeah. So a few people have called you sturdy before And now you're dealing with it You're making jokes about it It was just too soon to talk about it But now I'm calloused So I felt comfortable
Starting point is 01:20:33 You know sturdy If that's the worst thing we're good I love that Yeah sturdy's not a horrible thing to be called Yeah but like It's like livestock or something. Yeah, it's like oxen. Yeah, but the thing is, you get to a certain point
Starting point is 01:20:50 and you want to marry somebody who's got birthing hips. You know? I don't want to be the person with the birthing hips. You know? Like, no thanks. You're not going to have any children? I mean, I can't even think about it. I can barely pay my rent. I'm trying to write minutes every week. Right, thanks. You're not going to have any children? I mean, I can't even think about it. I can barely pay my rent.
Starting point is 01:21:05 I'm trying to write minutes every week. Right, right. I love that. That's an extra minute you don't have. The horse of truth out on Sarah Weinshank. You brought him out. Sarah, I've seen you a lot. I don't mean to be pedantic or didactic.
Starting point is 01:21:22 I'm telling you. Anybody have a Rosetta Stone for Dom? High heels would make that outfit work Seriously Forget about the comedy Put some fucking heels on with those legs How did Red Band And Dom just switch bodies?
Starting point is 01:21:40 I haven't seen this since the hit movie Vice Versa with Judge Reinhold. HBO Classics. Dom, let her borrow a pair of your heels. Are you a feet guy? Yeah, you are a feet guy. No, Greg's a feet guy, right? What's that? You're a feet guy, right?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Who's showing feet here? I don't show my feet. I show my legs. It's so creepy.

Which is also Chase Johnson's favorite masseuse's name. Too soon joke. I didn't like this audience that much.
Starting point is 01:22:51 No, they kind of sucked. They're good. I certainly wouldn't carry them through the apocalypse through my legs. You're wearing skinny jeans, Pat. We know you don't have the legs to carry anything through the apocalypse, including yourself. Just you and your guitar.
