You guys ready to start this show
or what, huh?
Come on, guys.
I don't know if you know this or not,
but we have more fun on Mondays than anyone else in the world.
Are you guys ready to start this fucking show?
I'm going to bring out a guest.
Every single week we have one of the funniest comedians in the world on,
and this week's no different.
He actually was a surprise guest and just joined us in Boise out of nowhere.
Shocked the Boise crowd by us bringing out the rare guest on the road.
And he does a lot.
He's actually been on quite a few road episodes, and he's one of our favorite guests to have here in beautiful our home at the Comedy Store los angeles california and he's here for you tonight put your hands together for one of
my favorite comedians one of my best friends it's the great doug benson everybody come on what
there he is wow it's really him Holy moly.
He's got sunglasses on. He's live on Instagram.
He's streaming. We're streaming.
We're crossing the streams like
Ghostbusters right now.
I'm making a periscope.
Oh, that's a periscope.
Look at you, you little submariner
you. Welcome back,
Doug. How's it going?
I just hit stop broadcast.
Because that was enough.
This is your show.
How's everybody doing?
Hey.
Are you ready for some awkwardness?
I'm so high.
Yes, you are.
Yeah, I'm doing all right. I shouldn't be near a sword.
Doug just started smoking pot today for the first time.
I love it so far.
Which reminds me, shout out to Speedweed.
They gave away $500 worth of legal marijuana merchandise last week.
How cool is that?
I love Speedweed.
Like, if you need speed or weed, they will
deliver.
It's mostly weed.
It's coming soon, though.
Speaking of speed,
we flew in today with
our amazing band. They did
great work over this road trip. We have a band
on this show. You know about this, right, Doug?
I do know about the band.
They are unbelievable.
Unfortunately, the great Jeremiah Watkins
couldn't make it. Hey, wow, look at this.
It's the one and only Aphrodite, ladies and gentlemen.
Kiltoni Royalty.
Look at her. She gets her own
little entrance. Look at that shit.
The band is one of my
favorite things in all of
comedy. Jeremiah's not here tonight,
but I do believe we have an amazing
replacement that you may recognize
from previous Kill Tony episodes.
So let's just get right into it.
Every single episode, they commit
to doing different characters. We never know
what they're going to be. There's a separate green room
back there. Sometimes it's
a brand new character that we've
never seen or heard before. We've had a lot
of those lately. We had Southern Bells last night in Seattle.
We had Puppeteers in Vegas.
You never know what they're going to be.
Maybe it's the return of some of the most famous characters.
Let's see what they are tonight.
Put your hands together for the best damn band in the land.
The leader tonight, Joel Berg, Joel Jimenez, Chroma Chris, and Jesse Johnson.
Let's see what's going on here.
Whoa!
They're definitely
track runners.
This is hilarious.
Track runners, for sure.
I am pretty positive on this one
Am I right there, Joel?
Hi, I'm Chad Gonzalez, Speedy for short
Alright, Speedy
I got that written down
Joel, you're leading the band tonight
How do you feel?
You know, I think it's going to be a good one
We're going to have a good run
I can't believe this is what a Mexican guy looks like with white guy hair.
I had no idea that this was possible.
Well, we just got off a marathon of a tour.
I figured why not keep it going tonight.
I love it.
And then we have over here, we have what appears to be Bill Clinton, Jesse Johnson.
Jesse, welcome to the show.
You're playing a trumpet tonight?
Actually, I'm Phyllis Watkins. I'm Jeremiah's sister.
I love to run away from my brother.
And the trumpet. I'll be playing the trumpet.
I love it. I love it.
And then we have Chroma Chris, who sort of always looks like a marathon runner.
But he's dressed like one tonight. How do you feel, Chris?
Good.
My name is Adolph Hurdler.
Wait, what?
Adolph Hurdler?
Hurdler.
I run track and field, and I'm a great marathon runner.
Tony.
Okay.
My goodness.
I'm excited about this.
This is the first time we've ever had track runners.
Are you guys excited to fucking track runners?
I like to call him Shot Putin.
Hey, I like that.
Let me get a fucking...
All right.
Drummer looks like Anthony Kiedis on a sober day.
Oh.
I love it
Joel does, he looks like he's
going to run for the border
okay
we're going to warm up at some point
here
so we have track runners, we got Doug Benson
red bands here, the soundboard
which leads me to this, the bucket of destiny
everybody, with the whole show's built around
the bucket
before the show, a bunch of people sign up
for the chance to get called up on the
stage sometimes it's a brand
new comedian doing it for the
first time sometimes it's one of the great
comedy vets that swing through here
quite often you never know what's gonna happen
if I pull your name out of the bucket you get 60 seconds
of stand up comedy time you know your time's
up when you hear the sound of a kitten.
That means wrap it up then or else you're going to bring out the
Angry West Hollywood Bear.
That's what that
sounds like. Okay.
That's what that sounds like, so don't
go over your time.
This feels very mellow in here. I'll tell you,
coming off of
eight
sold-out giant theater and rock club road shows,
coming back home on a Monday to a tired, beat-up, sad audience,
I can't tell you how much it warms our hearts that really you just bring that fucking L.A. energy.
Game of Thrones hangovers or something, right?
Is that what it is? No, it's not.
There's no fucking Game of Thrones.
These guys don't have HBO. Look at these
two daydreaming fucks in the front row.
Jesus Christ, dude.
You ever been called a daydreaming
fuck?
Daydreaming. He said yes. He has been called that before.
Yeah, he really was.
Alright, you guys ready to start the show? I pulled
the name out of the bucket.
Alright, who gives a fuck?
I'll just pretend like you're a better crowd throughout the entire episode.
I'll just imagine it.
Put your hands together for your first comedian of the night, Colin Chidsey.
Colin Chidsey.
Wow, right from the middle of the crowd, he popped right up.
Here we go.
What's up, players? What's going on? I got problems,
people. I got problems. Like earlier today, I was at my buddy's house, and I get weird anxiety when I go into other people's bathrooms. I'll be washing my hands and then I just won't know what towns to come into.
Okay, that did okay.
Alright, yeah, and I'm 28. I've lived in LA most of my life, which means I like hiking in the daytime and in the nighttime, cocaine.
I like running trails and busting rails.
Okay, I'm Joey Rogan by day, Joey Diaz by night.
Ho!
Alright, that didn't do so hot.
Moving on.
Right now I'm living at home with my little sister, 23 years old, and my parents.
My little sister just moved back home because she's going through a divorce.
And I'm back home because I've never left.
Serious problems. Serious problems.
Hell yeah.
Bum, bum, bum.
Bum.
Colin, welcome to the show.
Hey, Tony.
First time, right?
First time.
First time ever doing stand-up comedy?
Wow, there you go.
Heck yeah.
Popped right up from the middle second row there.
Heck yeah.
A note for the future.
Drop saying when a joke worked or when it didn't.
Okay.
Let's go to the next one.
Okay, nervous, but okay.
Yeah.
No, but it was charming.
Yeah, I loved it.
I wrote it down.
I was going to say my favorite part of that show was when you said, okay, that did okay.
Perfect.
Beautiful.
That could be your thing.
I might go against the grain and go against Doug's advice.
I think you should stop doing what you thought were the jokes and just do the middle parts where you acknowledge how bad or good you're doing, which is probably pretty bad.
Yeah.
I think it's a great opener to say, this is going great.
You applauded when I came out.
You do not know who I am.
And yet, somehow, this is working.
I love it.
Is it true that you still live at home with your parents?
I do, yeah.
How old are you?
28.
28 years old, still at home with the parents.
Where's home?
I live in Santa Clarita, Magic Mountain, Six Flags, that area.
Wow, Magic Mountain.
You just named a bunch of fucking more interesting things than yourself.
Magic Mountain.
Yeah, you left out wildfires.
Exactly.
Wow, so how are you still at home?
What have you been doing with your life?
You know what?
Don't finish college.
Get a retail job.
Can't afford to live in Santa Clarita alone.
Right.
Yeah, so it's pretty sad.
Right.
But it's my biggest insecurity, so I'm glad I'm talking about it right now.
How old were you when you, that's what you should be talking about, first of all.
All of your instincts are wrong.
Yeah.
So how old were you when you dropped out of college?
I don't know the normal age where you do that. I don't know. Maybe 20-ish?
The normal age when you do that.
No, I dropped out too.
So,
you've just been working retail. What type of retail
are we talking about? Well, you're familiar
with this place, AutoZone.
Ah, yes. Yes, I am familiar with it.
Get in the zone. AutoZone.
You know what's weird?
I work for AutoZone
Anything that has a jingle this episode
You have to go right into it
I'll do every jingle
How long have you been at AutoZone for?
Get in the zone
Not after you've already done it
Only once
AutoZone
How long have you been working there?
A couple years but in the automotive retail industry.
You like cars a lot?
No, I don't.
Oh, wow.
My goodness.
I don't like cars at all, really.
Are there car parts?
Just parts of it.
Yeah, just parts.
Wow.
So, I mean, working in an auto zone and not liking cars, that's got to be fucking horrible.
You know what?
It's weird how things work out because when I was younger, I feel like I always wanted to be in the entertainment industry or maybe an actor or whatever.
And working at AutoZone, for some reason, I just ended up doing two AutoZone commercials.
Really?
Yeah.
Complete by coincidence?
Well, they were like, hey, we're using employees.
If you want to send in your photo, we'll give it a look. What did you
do in the commercial? You know, just like
hi.
Wow, you really are built for
show business. That was incredible.
Hey, real quick, just do that again.
I was at the counter. I was like, I had a paper.
I was like, get in the zone.
Auto
zone. Wow.
Yeah.
Is that which AutoZone?
The one in West Hollywood or something?
No, it's in Santa Cruz where I live.
Right.
So is it true that you spend your AutoZone money on cocaine?
You talked about doing a lot of hiking during the day and cocaine at night.
You know what?
I missed one part of that.
I was going to say I don't really do cocaine.
I have tried it two or three hundred times.
Oh, there you go.
That's when you worked at the Pep Boys.
I worked there too, actually.
I worked there too.
You did?
Yeah.
You used to be one of the Pep Boys.
Yeah.
And you switched to Amazon.
Get in the boys.
Yeah, I worked there.
Pep Boys.
So you really do do it a lot.
Are you addicted?
No, no, I don't do cocaine.
Wait, what?
No, no.
What do you think, I'm a cop all of a sudden?
I thought it was funny.
Like I said, I have tried it a couple times, but I'm not an avid cocaine user.
You didn't say, you can't say, like I said, because when you said it, you said
two or three hundred times.
So which one is it?
It's not that much, really.
Do you think I'm your parents right now?
Do you think I'm going to kick you out of your house?
No. When you did it a couple times,
did you at least give a go in each nostril
to make sure
that it went around as you think?
Doing some coke.
Auto coke.
Joel might have some jet lag going on back there.
So what do your parents do?
Well, my dad, he works in the industry,
which is why I ended up doing that.
Do you mean the city of industry?
He works in the automotive industry.
He really does work in the automotive industry.
Van Nuys.
What does he do?
He's like a vice president for some company.
Is it a famous company?
It's a car company?
I feel like you would know.
I feel comfortable talking about what I do, but I don't want to...
Well, let me just ask you this.
Final question on that. If you had to guess within
$100,000
each way, how much do you think your dad makes a year?
Maybe
$3 million.
$3 million? Really? No, no, no.
I thought we were talking about hundreds of thousands.
$300,000? $300,000. Oh, so he were talking about hundreds of thousands. 300,000? 300,000.
Oh, so he's the vice president of a company like that.
Kia.
Kia guy.
Oh, all right.
So how about your mom?
Does your mom have a job?
She does not.
She's obsessed with, we have four miniature dachshunds.
Oh.
That's her life.
Yeah.
She's a gold digger.
Yeah.
She's constantly showing me pictures of wieners on her phone.
Oh, you son of a bitch.
I love that we get to hear all the jokes that he decided weren't good enough for his first minute.
Yeah, no shit.
Oh, I'm just going to shoehorn these in here.
Mom just said, stop sending me wiener pics with your dachshunds.
Yeah, okay, that did okay.
They love the dog dicks.
What's the plan with living at your parents' man?
You're 20, you're about to be 30 years old at your parents'.
We've already started the countdown.
He has a separate clock.
Yeah.
What's the plan?
You know what?
It's just I need to...
Do they like you staying there?
They don't mind.
Really?
Yeah, I'm like a pretty good...
Can we call your mom right now and ask her if she wants you to move out?
All right, let's do that.
Call her, put her on speakerphone.
If it goes to voicemail, pull the microphone away from the phone so that the phone number isn't read.
And also say, hey, mom, you're being recorded really fast at the beginning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Say, hey, mom, it's me, Colin.
Yeah, you're being recorded. Hello? Hey, Mom, it's me, Colin. Yeah.
You're being recorded.
Hello.
Hey, Mom, you're being recorded.
Oh, Jesus.
Not like that.
My God, Colin.
You're going to have her freaking out, checking the Dotson's butts for bugs.
Hey, I got picked out of the bucket, so I'm on Kill Tony's stage right now.
And Tony wants to know if you want me to move on.
Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I don't get to ask the question. I don't get to ask the question.
You don't get to ask the question.
Hello, Mrs. Chidsey.
Can you hear me?
I can hear you.
I love it.
Loud and clear.
Listen to your beautiful voice.
I love it.
I heard about your four Dotsons.
How are they doing tonight?
They're awesome.
They're sleeping.
Oh, how cute is that?
So I'm talking with Colin here here and we're we're talking
about how he's 28 he's working at an auto zone right uh and and and i asked him i go what's the
plan to get out he's like i don't know and i'm like do your parents want you out of the house
and he said no i gotta ask you we're here at the world famous comedy store packed main room on a
monday night do you want colin to move out of your house sometime in the near future?
It doesn't have to be the near future.
What?
Get in the zone.
Get out zone.
Wow.
Not the near future.
How much longer do you want him there?
You think you might be afraid of having some empty nest syndrome or something?
I will definitely have empty nest syndrome, yes.
Oh, my God.
Are you aware that your son does cocaine?
That's what it's supposed to sound like on a Monday night.
Right there.
Now we're there.
Can we restart the show?
Postmates.
All right.
Mrs. Chidsey, you're absolutely killing it right now.
You're so much funnier than your son.
This is incredible.
Maybe you should come. Will you come one of these upcoming weeks and swing by, see the show live?
Oh, I actually brought my mom.
No one cares what you're going to say, Colin. Oh, you brought your mom to the show before? one cares what you're going to say, Colin.
Oh, you brought your mom to the show before?
Is that what you're going to say?
Ron White with my aunts.
Wow.
Why do you go like that when you say aunts?
Because I don't even really know if they're my relatives,
but they say they are.
Was it just four Dotsons stacked up on top of each other?
Wearing a trench coat?
They're from the South.
I'm 21.
Get in the coat. Trench coat. They're from the south. I'm 21. Get in the coat.
Change coat.
Okay.
When you say that, I keep hearing Dotson instead of Doxon.
Is it Doxon?
How many?
Yeah, Doxon.
Doxon.
What are the dog's names?
Good question.
What are the dog's names, Mrs. Chidsey?
Foose, Fancy, Chip, and Reason.
Oh, Reason.
Oh, I like that.
Reason?
Reason.
Is there a reason that you named your dog Reason?
I kill it with moms.
All right.
Well,
I guess with one of the other names,
I think.
Yeah.
Treason.
All right.
All right.
Well,
uh,
any of them named fleas in them.
Oh my God.
Uh,
all right,
Mrs.
Chidsey.
Well, thank you so much.
You're an instant Kill Tony legend.
Will you come back again soon and come see another episode of Kill Tony?
Yes, absolutely.
Great.
We'll save a booth for you for when you come back.
There you go.
There's Mrs. Chidsey.
And how about one more time, his first time ever on stage, Colin Chidsey.
He's on Instagram at
Colin Chidsey. All one word.
C-H-I-D-S-E-Y.
How fun is that? A little
fucking mom talk. Hell yeah.
That cocaine shit is what's so hilarious.
He's gonna get a text message right
about now.
Colin, you know I love you, but I just hope they were kidding about the Uncle King thing.
I know a 28-year-old that's living at home with his parents shouldn't be doing that.
Pulled another name out of the bucket.
Put your hands together for Sam Jones, everyone.
Sam Jones.
Here we go.
One more time for Sam Jones.
What's up, guys?
I memorized my set.
I just don't know what to do with my hand.
So I'm colored, huh?
I'm Mexican, and it comes with a lot of teeth.
I have more teeth in my mouth than family members in my house.
Or in my apartment.
But we call it a house because we're Mexican.
Man, I look like shit, huh?
I got the mustache, the glasses and the hat.
They're, like, alone they're fine, but all together they're like the Lord of the Rings
of sexual assault.
One in three of you ladies know what I'm talking about.
Hell yeah, Sam Jones.
I love it.
Hell yeah.
Did you just come in from a winter storm somewhere?
What's happening right now?
Please don't go, Akbar, and blow us all up.
Oh, wow.
Redband.
Okay.
What's the deal with that jacket?
I don't know.
Could you open it up to show us whether or not you have dynamite strapped to your body? He's Mexican.
He's not that type of brown, guys.
Yeah, it's just fireworks, not dynamite.
Yeah, come on.
He's adorable.
For those of you listening to the podcast, this guy looks like a young Mexican Ben Stein.
Anyone?
Anyone?
You are a young-looking man.
How old are you?
I'm 21.
21 years old. The exact age that you would have to lie and say that you are if you-looking man. How old are you? I'm 21. 21 years old.
The exact age that you would have to lie and say that you are if you were under 21 and had a fake ID.
Where are you from?
I'm from San Pedro.
Wait, what?
San Pedro.
San Pedro.
Heck yes.
That's like an hour drive or something like that?
About.
Yeah.
The last time I was on here, actually, I made a joke about not being 21.
And I was talking about my dead mom. And I was in the hallway after my set. And the waitress
who sat me, she said, hey, I'm sorry for your loss, but you have to leave.
Is that true? That's true, yeah. When was that?
When were you on?
Like two months ago.
And are you 21 now?
Yeah, I was 21 then.
Oh, you really were 21.
Yeah.
Did you show her your ID?
Did you have to leave still?
No, I showed her my ID.
Oh, wow.
There you go.
You should have told that story during your minute.
Yeah.
It's true.
Pretty sweet.
Yeah, it's good. Okay. You also had some other a couple of jokes were good, right? Yeah. Yeah started started strange
He's tried a try to go that awkward route
I'm just like I know when I went when I came up here was gonna be super anxious
So I just try to work with it, I guess yeah
Yeah
You know what you know what helps is is doing a different joke first than the one that you did
That'll help with your anxiety because then you joke first than the one that you did.
That'll help with your anxiety because then you'll be doing better than what you did.
Could you try doing good jokes first?
Yeah, exactly.
But also... You said I look like shit.
I'm Mexican.
I have so many teeth.
I have more teeth in my mouth than family members in my house.
I don't even get that.
Because I'm Mexican. It's just that. Does that math work out?
Yeah. No.
You put your phone down on the table and it had your jokes on it.
What if I had just grabbed it?
I would have had to go.
You wouldn't have known what to say?
I would have went acapella, I guess.
Acapella? That's not what that means.
Go acapella.
Do your jokes without the band.
That's what you just said you'd do.
You'd do a non-musical version of your jokes.
You're 21 years old.
You live with your parents still?
Yeah.
In San Pedro?
Yeah.
And what does your dad
do? He's, I don't know, he's a
mechanic, I think. You don't even know?
Wait a second, wait a second.
For an AutoZone, perhaps?
Some type of, maybe he's the
vice president? I think we're figuring something out.
Does your mom have dachshunds?
What are they called?
What are your hobbies? Growing a mustache?
I know, that's one of my favorite hobbies.
Yeah, you're working on it too.
It's a nice faint one.
That is what we would call a 7 a.m. shadow or something like that.
Just bright and barely existing at all.
That was like you four or five months in, though,
when you grew out your mustache, Tony.
Okay.
Roasted.
Does Brian ever push the bear sound on himself?
No, unfortunately not.
So you said you have a dead mom.
Is that true? Yep.
When did she die? Two years ago.
Oh, Jesus.
How'd she die?
She fell on her head. She fell on her head.
She fell on her head, that's right.
She was working at Burlington Coat Factory
and she fell off one of those ladders, right?
Okie dokie.
Back to the show.
So there you go.
All right.
Hang on a second, Tony.
Burlington Coat Factory.
You probably won't die.
So Sam, what do you do?
I run food in a restaurant.
You run food at a specific restaurant.
I like that job.
Yeah, we got some food runners right over here.
Mostly protein packs and whatnot.
So what do you do for fun, Sam?
You're 21 years old.
What's a 21-year-old up to nowadays?
What are you guys doing? other than collecting all the Pokemon?
That's it.
Nothing, really.
I just...
Come on.
There must be something.
What do you do to take your mind off the fact that everything that we know about you?
You fucking?
Yeah.
You fucking, dude?
Yeah, I'm fucking.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Who are you hooking up with? My girlfriend. Your girlfriend? Yeah. How long have you fucking, dude? Yeah, I'm fucking. Yeah? Yeah. Who are you hooking up with?
My girlfriend.
Your girlfriend?
How long have you two been together?
A year and a week.
A year and a week?
Wow, you count the weeks.
A week and a half, isn't it?
That's incredible.
A year and one week.
So you celebrated your anniversary last week.
What'd you guys do?
Oh, no, a year and a week.
Sorry.
Oh, so what are you going to do?
Do you have any big surprises for her?
You could always take her to
a magic mountain in beautiful Santa Clarita.
I have no idea.
Something,
I don't know if I want her to mention this.
If you see this, Athena,
I'm sorry for mentioning this,
but I've never told her I loved her
and it's been almost a year.
Are you serious?
You should call her and tell her you love her
right now, dude.
You won't do it?
I can't do it.
How about we call your dead mom, then?
What is going on here?
Are you guys all just trying to pick up the...
Sayonara.
That was from the internet.
Are you guys all trying to fix what happened earlier?
You know, when I call myself the food runner,
it's because I have diarrhea.
Can I tell you something, Sam?
I am very, very disappointed in Joel Berg
for even suggesting that we call your girlfriend
and you tell them that you love her.
But now I must ask you,
why won't you call her and tell her that you love her?
Oh, fuck.
No, this is great.
You guys like what we're talking about right now, right?
Show Sam some love.
He's closing it.
Look at them, Sam.
Why are you looking down at this blank-ass fucking red floor?
These people love you.
Okay, so why won't you tell her that you love her
Look at them tell them
After a year
You need to break up dude all right red band okay, okay, so I I
I
Love her yeah, just not in I don't think I'm how do you know what love is Wow? Okay, so I love her.
I'm just not in, I don't think I'm in love.
How do you know what love is?
Wow, you're not breaking up with us right now, by the way.
How do you, what do you mean you love her but you're not in love?
Can you explain that to us a little bit from your own 21-year-old perspective?
I just, I like hanging out with her.
She's, you know, the best.
Uh-huh.
And you like having sex with her. She's, you know, the best. Uh-huh. And you like having sex with her?
Yeah.
And you like, what type of hanging out do you guys do?
We go to comedy shows sometimes.
We do whatever.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
And so what do you mean you're not in love with her?
Well, I just, I guess because I wouldn't feel comfortable saying, like, I love you.
Why wouldn't you feel comfortable?
Because I don't think I'm in love with her.
Oh.
Wow.
So it just goes both ways.
It's just an endless circle of you just don't want to say it.
Okie dokie.
Have you ever said it ever in your life?
Yeah.
You have an ex-girlfriend that you were in love with?
Yeah.
So you're still in love with her, your ex-girlfriend?
No, no, no.
Okay, right.
Okay.
So the thing that I don't get is you told her, but you won't tell this one.
So then why stay with her?
Because I enjoy being with her.
It sounds cheesy, but I love her as a person.
So what don't you love her as?
I mean, there's a difference.
Sweet, sweet, young love.
Oh, fuck.
There's a difference, I think, between, like, loving someone and being in love with them.
Yeah, what is that difference?
I don't fucking know.
You don't know? It's a feeling. what is that difference? I don't fucking know. You don't know?
It's a feeling.
It's a feeling?
I think.
My God.
So are you telling us that in a week
your big plan for the anniversary
is just lie to her and tell her that you love her?
Is that the plan?
No, no.
No.
What are you going to do for the anniversary?
Are you going to take her anywhere special?
I'm broke, dude.
I don't know.
Wow.
So saying you love her is way cheaper than getting her a kiss.
Hey!
Roma Chris out of nowhere with a grand slam.
Silent but deadly as always.
Have you thought about this?
Have you thought about being thrifty and telling your girlfriend that you love her?
Give her that. You could pick a flower out of somebody's garden, tell her you love her.
It'll blow her fucking mind, dude.
Pussy is going to be wetter than your back.
Why? Why? You guys want to be quiet crowd? I'm going to push it.
I have to do these jokes.
What are you going to do? Complain about it?
Hopefully your girlfriend doesn't have the internets.
You know, like, are you scared that she's going to watch this episode?
She knows?
I don't think she knows, but she'll see it eventually, I know.
Yeah, she definitely will.
If she gets really mad at you about it, will that make you love her?
Has she told you that she loves you?
She has.
She has told you that she loves you
and then you just looked back at her
and you're like,
I have a lot of teeth in my mouth.
I have more teeth than family members
in my apartment.
Or my house, I mean, which is an apartment.
Because I'm Mexican.
Anyway, see you tomorrow.
Man.
Your girlfriend's not like 75 or something weird like that, by the way, right?
Why would she be 75?
Because then all this would make sense, you know?
It would.
I don't understand what you're talking
about at all on a live show
yet again with so many people
watching. Write it down. Alright, I'll write it down
and I'll look back at it later and
we'll do our homework to understand. If his girlfriend was 75
then I'd get dating her for a year
and not loving her, right? You're just waiting for her to die
or something Mexican.
Wait, what? Oh my
God, Brian Redband.
Thank god he explained it.
I'll just
take it from here. There he goes, Sam Jones
everybody. Let's just get
out while we're ahead.
That microphone is
your mic's loud tonight, Redband.
I think you're louder than me.
I project my voice.
That's definitely not it. I'm a professional so often and you're louder than me. I project my voice. That's definitely not it.
I'm a professional so often
and you're more quiet.
That's right.
Sound better already.
Yes, sir does.
Very good.
Maybe I was hinting at your talking too much
on the fucking show tonight.
How about that?
Your microphone's too loud.
You know what?
I need another drink.
Me too. I'll take a Crown. There you go. Crown and Coke. Turkey ginger. There you go.
Period's going to be your next comedian, Michael Robert, everyone. Michael Robert. Here we go.
Let's rebuild momentum from scratch on this show that we've accomplished twice.
We're going to start again. Michael Robert, live
on Kill Tony.
Wow.
Recently moved out here
from Philadelphia.
Yeah. Been with the same girl
15 years. Decided
I'm not having sex anymore, though. It's my choice.
Free will.
I just don't want to do the work, man.
Like, if I want to have sex on Wednesday, I got to start the process on Sunday. She calls it an
emotional foreplay. So, like, on Sunday, like, I got to come home with the flowers. Monday, special
dinner. It's got to have, like, capers and shit in it or it doesn't count. Tuesday, massage.
Wednesday, if I'm lucky, maybe, maybe I get to have
some standard Christian
missionary sex.
Yeah, it's not worth it.
Got five kids.
I don't even like kids.
I don't, man.
They're weird, man. These fucking kids are weird these days, man.
Why are they so thirsty all the time?
Like, every two minutes, like, I need water.
They're sitting on the couch doing absolutely nothing.
Nothing. Watching TV.
They're like, I need some water.
Yeah, go in the backyard. Run around, you fat fuck.
Maybe I'll get you some water.
All right, Michael Robert.
Fuck yeah, Michael Robert.
Laying down the law. That's one tough
daddy right there.
Hell yeah, that's a way to make sure your kids
still aren't living with you when they're 28.
Right? Be tougher, right?
Yeah. That's amazing that you have five
kids. How old are you? 39.
39 years old. I got five adopted
kids through foster care.
Wow, look at you.
Goddamn American hero.
Is that because you're not having any sex?
Everyone's like, how do you do this shit with the comedy, you know?
I'm going to check in with Phyllis Watkins over there.
Is that because you're not getting any sex?
No, well, you know, I got to do the work.
I got to do the fucking work.
But no, if I want to do the work, I'll get the sex, you know?
Jesus Christ.
Are you going to fuck our trumpet player?
What was that all about?
Oh, and the pooper.
Wow. So, Michael the pooper. Wow.
Michael, how long have you been doing stand-up?
About five months. Five
months. What made you start now?
Five months ago, I went to an open mic.
My friend brought me, signed me up,
got up there. I was like, fuck, my OCD.
I was like, fucking, you got to do this shit now.
Are you sure it's OCD or is it Tourette's?
You just said fuck twice in four seconds.
It's both. Is that why you have so many kids? You have OCD. You adopted one? You just said fuck twice in four seconds. It's both.
Is that why you have so many kids?
You have OCD.
You adopted one and you're like, I need four more.
No, dude.
Dude, it's not my wife.
It's my wife, man.
My wife.
She's an atheist, bro.
She believes in hard work.
That's why I'm allowed out.
I'm Mexican, dude.
I get it.
Dude, I got two Mexicans.
Whoa.
Jesus. Wait a minute.
You talk about your kids like they're fucking delivery orders or something.
I got two Mexicans, two pizzas, and a Chinese.
I got a brown or two.
I got a white one.
Are you trying to be the top Bill Burr impersonator in the country?
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing.
Fuck you, man.
I'm from Philadelphia.
He stole that shit from us.
Fuck you, man.
Fuck you.
He acted like he don't like us, but he stole our attitude.
But we forgive him because we're the city of brotherly love.
I love that.
So I'm interested.
I'm going to go back to this whole real life thing.
You have two Mexicans.
What else?
What do we got there?
We interrupted you. I got two black children
and a white child.
Wow.
Two Mexicans,
two black children is what
we're calling them.
There's five total.
You can't just throw the S on the
end of black, can you?
You got two Mexicans, two black
children.
There was a little
transition there. I heard it.
What's number five?
He's white.
Come on. The oldest one, right?
You had to get the...
The first one was the white kid, right?
Is that right? The first adopted
kid was white? You had to make sure
it wasn't too crazy or whatever?
Then you're like, I'm ready.
I'm going to go extreme.
Let's get some blacks and Mexicans.
It's like Chrome delete.
Go ahead.
Ask the questions.
I guess I know who your favorite one is.
Never mind.
Is there one that you wish you had the receipt for?
Yeah. Do you wish you could return one of them ever? No, you had the receipt for? Yeah.
What was that?
Do you wish you could return one of them ever?
No, you don't return them, bro.
No?
No, you don't return them.
How about voting for Trump?
You fucking love them.
You do your best.
You know, like everything you see happening in the world,
like it's happening in my house on a micro level.
Like the white one's fucking building a wall
to keep the two Mexicans out.
They're trying to climb under.
He's flying fucking drones and shit.
What?
That's incredible.
Wait, the white kids flying drones?
Yeah, they fucking build the wall in the hallway.
I gotta tear it down every night. Keep the kids out
of his room. Is this minute
two if we let you keep going?
Yeah, it is.
What do you do for work? I'm a preschool
teacher. Preschool teacher.
Look at you. I run a daycare center.
Everything about you does not match
the way you look.
You look like you got dishonorable
discharge in the Marines.
Meanwhile, you're like this super
nice guy just loving kids
and whatnot. What were you
showing me there? What were you doing? Well, I was going to come up
because I got the running fucking thing on.
I ran here. Wow. Jeez Louise.
My goodness. What are you running from? Not child support.
What does your wife do?
She stays home with the kids.
That's amazing. And you teach preschool.
Yeah, I'm with kids all fucking day.
My God, that's amazing.
You sound happy about it.
What do you do?
What do the kids call you?
Mr. R? Daddy.
No, they just call me Michael.
How old are your adopted kids?
So we got two, three, eight, nine, and 14.
Wow.
Wow, dude.
Those are all the best ages.
Yeah.
I'm not fucking around.
Give a high five to your wife.
She must be like...
Fuck yeah.
She's going to see this shit.
Oh, great. Yeah. There you high five to your wife. She must be like... Fuck yeah. She's going to see this shit.
There you go. I like that. She must be pretty happy to not have given
birth to any of them.
Yeah, she looks fucking great, man.
She's 34.
You know, I mean...
Yeah, like I said, it's all her, man.
She's an atheist. She believes in hard work.
That's why she lets me out here because I fucking believe in this shit.
Fuck yeah. Wow. Look at you. Jesus. She's an atheist that She believes in hard work. That's why she lets me out here because I fucking believe in this shit. Fuck yeah. Wow.
Look at you.
Jesus.
She's an atheist that does believe in something.
I'm not fucking around.
Heck yeah.
My God.
I love this shit, man.
Jeez.
You're more uptight than your wife's pussy.
Because she only adopts.
Yeah, right.
All right.
So, man, that is so interesting.
So what do you do to get away from all these kids in your life?
You teach at a preschool.
You have kids all over the house.
What's something that you do for fun to get your mind away?
I'm not a big fan of fun.
I take walks.
You take walks.
On the mountain.
Yeah.
I hate fun.
I'm going to adopt as many children as possible.
Right.
I fucking hate this coloring shit Where do you like to

Is that a problem?
The fuck spout opens.

Absolutely.

You would be an interesting preschool teacher.
Any fun things that you ever do?
Oh, shit.
You ever do anything fun to entertain the kids?
Anything sort of?
Yeah, I do like, you know, I play the drums.
I beatbox.
I fucking do gymnastics.
Can you give us a little example of some of your beatboxing skills?
Some of your preschool
beatboxing?
Yeah, I'm just like, come on, kids.
I get them going. I do a little gymnastics with them.
I do backflips and shit.
You know, I do shit like that
and get them all pumped up.
Wow. Is that it?
You just do a few bars
of the theme of Seinfeld?
What the fuck, bro?
What's in that?
So you said that you play the drums.
I don't know if you know this or not.
I don't know if you know this or not,
but on this show we have a little contest
called the Mexican Drum Off.
You guys don't seem excited about this whatsoever.
During the Mexican Drum Off, Michael, you have a chance to become a full-time member of the band
and be the new drummer of the band if you can only beat the
returning champion Joel Berg
in a drum solo
competition to where anything goes
trying to have a great drum solo
and be entertaining
and have the audience love you all at the same
time. Are you
down for the challenge?
Yeah, I am. I'm
lefty, but I don't give a fuck.
Alright, sure. Okay. Well, going
giving you a little drum solo.
Trying to become the new
Kill Tony drummer. You can leave all
your kids. It's the way out. You could
go on tour with us. Put your hands together
for Michael Robert, everyone.
Am I getting up there? Yeah.
He has such a tough look on his face.
I don't understand what he's so angry about.
Every time he passes me, he touches me.
I don't like it.
Ladies and gentlemen, giving you a little...
He's getting rid of some of the drums.
Oh, he's switching things around a little bit.
Heck yeah, left-handed.
He's going for it.
He knows one day his kids are going to grow up
and watch this video and go,
that guy's not my real dad.
No.
Here he is, Michael Robert, everybody.
Oh, ooh. Wow, that's actually really fun.
The crowd's going wild here.
Michael worked it out.
Yeah, that was pretty good.
Left-handed, switched it over.
That's incredible. That's a pretty good performance there, Michael. Switched it over. That's incredible.
That's a pretty good performance there, Michael.
It's going to be tough to beat.
It's going to be tough to beat.
But a little fun fact.
Joel Berg all-time is undefeated in Mexican drum-offs.
It is his world.
Michael, step on up here.
Come on back up here.
And I'm going to bring out the...
Have a seat on one of those stools right there.
Yeah, just have a seat over there.
And I'm going to bring out the reigning, defending drummer of Kill Tony, undefeated all time,
here to defend his throne.
I present to you, in a Mexican drum off, the one and only Joel Berg, Joel Jimenez.
He's got no ass for you podcast listeners.
He has no physical butt whatsoever.
All right.
If I win this, I'm the father of all his kids.
Yes.
Ladies and gentlemen, defending his throne,
it's the one and only Joel Byrne. Wow.
Wow.
My goodness.
Andy's getting a track medal for that performance by the other band members.
That was just beautiful.
How many of you have the child lover Michael Robert winning this one?
Raises kids, teaches them in preschool.
How many of you have Joel Berg winning that one?
Wow.
He's butt clapping.
Hey, you did really good, though.
Wow.
He's butt clapping.
Hey, you did really good, though.
I've never seen somebody effectively twerk with just skin back there before.
It's incredible that you can make your skin jiggle.
Mexican square butt, man.
Sure.
But Michael.
He just hit them harder than you did.
He hit them really hard.
He really went for it.
Maybe next time, Michael.
You were great, though.
It was nice to meet you.
Welcome to the comedy community.
He's on Twitter at Michael Robert Comedy.
And you just saw him here for the first time on Kill Tony.
Live at the world famous Comedy Store.
I like that guy. You guys having fun out there?
I'm going to dig deep in this bucket.
All right, this looks like a familiar name.
Put your hands together for Eric Stanaford, everyone.
Eric Stanaford.
Oh, lucky corner.
From the far corner.
Here he comes.
Here he comes. Here he is.
One more time for Eric Stanaford, everyone.
How's it going, guys?
So I recently became single.
I'm not hyped about it.
Last time I became single, we all had flip phones.
So I don't know how things are working anymore.
The apps are teaching me a lot about myself.
Apparently, I like my women the same way I like my coffee.
Too hot to put my dick in.
The kind of hot where if I do put my dick in for some reason,
it's coming out with blisters for sure.
I was on a date recently and figured out that I was the dumb one.
I confused Warren and Jimmy Buffett in conversation.
That's not something you can backtrack from.
Like, if he was in charge of the economy,
why aren't things more laid back?
Thank you.
Heck yeah.
Eric Stanaford.
How's it going, man?
You've been on this show before.
Yeah, back in November.
Heck yeah.
Welcome back.
Very fun set.
How long have you been doing stand-up?
This week makes one year.
One year anniversary.
Wow, that's so fucking cool, man.
Are you willing to tell stand-up you love it?
Yes.
Indeed.
What do you do for a living?
I work at the Los Angeles Public Library.
At the Public Library.
Wow. That's so cool.
What do you do at the library?
Just tell people.
Shh.
I'm in the training department, so I train the employees how to deal with crazy situations
that arise.
Do you get a lot of cam girls having sex shows and stuff like that?
You know what I'm talking about. Red band. That's get a lot of cam girls having sex shows and stuff like that? Red band.
That's a real thing.
They'll go down an aisle
and just get naked and do Instagram videos
and shit like that. It doesn't happen frequently.
But you have had a...
I wouldn't be surprised.
Just agree with them. Free Wi-Fi.
Just agree and move on.
Heck yeah, exactly.
Did you have such confidence in that hot dick coffee joke
that that's why there was so much set up
that seemed irrelevant before you got to it?
I had to try and set the...
Wait, don't woo me.
Try to set it up a little bit.
Yeah, but I mean, that joke,
if you just straight up said it,
then it would have exploded immediately because that joke's perfect.
Thank you.
I don't know.
I felt I needed to build a little bit.
It doesn't need I'm single.
Well, what does that have to do with it?
Like, why do we care?
A very, very, very common thing that's hard to believe, but you don't really, no matter how many times you hear it, you don't believe it until you're four, five four five six seven years in to this is you don't
need as much setup as you think we think that but you really don't and he's absolutely right you
could have easily have said i like my women like i like my coffee too hot to put your dick in and
the and it would have even i know it's hard to believe that it would have been even bigger but
you got to try it that way to realize that it can be bigger. The less on the front, the more you get,
because the more it's a surprise,
and you just don't need it.
It's all needless information,
especially since it's such a great joke.
Yeah.
When you said the whole coffee thing,
I think all of us was,
oh, here's another one of those generic coffee jokes.
But you've heard every one of those before.
But when you said it, it was like,
whoa, there's another one.
There it is.
Exactly.
Yep, there's another one. There it is. Exactly. Yep, there's another one.
Busting the myth that there's too many of those, which is crazy,
because you look like both of the Mythbusters at the same time.
Smushed together.
Not many people look like both of them.

Hello.
What did one pedophile say to the other?
Good morning, padre.
Okay.
That's a Catholic joke.
It didn't go well when I told it to my parents and my brothers.
My mom threw holy water on me.
Yeah, it didn't go too well.
So I've been thinking about what it would be like to date a blind person.
Wouldn't it suck?
No offense to anybody that's blind. You know, you're
at a party, you want a drink, but you're always a DD, you know? I feel like a motherfucker.
He's having a blast, just fucking, just knocking him down, all blind. I have an uncle that was blind, so it's okay
for me to say this.
He's dead now, but he gave me the okay
ahead of time.
I'm also
28, but I don't live with my parents.
No offense. I'm sorry.
And I'm Mexican, and we have a house.

You know the word.
What happened in that first, what was that first joke?
Pedophile, say to the other pedophile, good morning, padre, as in like they're both Spanish priests.
Or just Catholic priests.
It's either that or scout leader.
It depends on which pedophile you're talking about.
Right, right, right.
I mean, he's just calling priests pedophiles.
Yeah.
Or scout leaders is the alternate.
Yeah.

Bridget Dow.
She's here.
Here she is.
Bridget Dow, everybody.
Hey.
Oh, man.
Hey, thank you.
Okay, so there's a...
What?
There's three suicide bombers, right?
And they're group texting because that's what they do.
Yeah, I went there.
They're at the airport, and it's lunchtime.
They're at different airports, and they're group texting on their thing.
The first one goes, fuck, man.
If I get tuna salad sandwich for lunch one more time, I'm just pushing the button.
That's it.
We're done.
And the second guy's like, dude, I'm bored and I'm irritated and I feel you.
If I get egg salad sandwich one more time, dude, that's it.
I'm pushing the button.
We're done.
And the third guy goes, yeah, for sure. If I get peanut butter and jelly one more time, dude. That's it, I'm pushing the button. We're done. The third guy goes, yeah, for sure.
If I get peanut butter and jelly
one more time, that's it, I'm pushing the button. We're done.
So the next day, they reconvene.
Said airports, different ones. I don't know how it works.
I'm not a suicide bomber.
They're texting together, sure enough.
The first one gets
tuna salad. Push the button.
There goes Jacksonville or whatever fucking state.
Second one, same thing, egg salad. Boom, done. There goes Jacksonville or whatever fucking state. Second one, same thing. Egg salad.
Boom. Done. Third one, peanut butter and
jelly. Boom. Done. They're all at the fucking
funeral and they're with
their 40 virgins and all the wives are together.
First one goes, I don't understand.
He loved tuna salad sandwiches.
And the second one goes,
I don't understand. He loved egg salad sandwiches.
And the third one goes,
I don't understand.
Boop, boop, boop. I'm't understand. He loved excellent sandwich. And the third one goes. Okay, okay, hold on. Boop, boop, boop.
I'm in trouble.
She was so close to finishing.
Holy shit.
That's what they said.
So close.
That's what they said?
Is that the punchline?
No.
The punchline is the wife turns and goes to the peanut butter and jelly sandwich one.
I don't understand.
He makes his own lunch.
I don't understand.
He makes his own lunch.
Right?
Oh, suicide bomber. Yeah.
Why would you?
You know what? I'm going to get through this with you, Tony.
I know. I'm not scared.
It's fine. Jeez Louise.
Only 90
seconds to get to that punchline.
Tony. But it's also
it just sounded like a joke that you'd hear somebody
saying in a bar that just
keeps having all these beats
that are unnecessary.
Eventually, when you get to the punchline, they go,
okay. There was a lot of
set up there.
I mean, Jesus, we were trimming
seven, eight extra
words off of one guy earlier.
I would cut all the way. All
the way.
All the way. It also doesn't feel
anything like about you or your experience
or life. No one wants to fuck
about that. Let's be real.
All your jokes are gonna be like three things walk
into a bar and one says this and another
says that and the third one says I don't give a fuck
anymore.
Tony, it's funny. During your three
guys walk into a bar joke, three guys
walked out of this bar.
Let's check in with
Joel Jimenez back there.
It's just funny that you howled after because she looks like
Michelle Wolf was actually part wolf.
There is a little
Michelle. Attacked by wolf?
I'll deal with it later.
It's cool.
Yeah.
Okay.
So welcome to the show.
Is this your first time on?
It is.
Thank you.
Yes.
Welcome to the show, Bridget.
How long have you been doing stand-up comedy?
It's Brigitte.
I've been doing stand-up for like a year.
All right.
I've been called worse.
Thank God.
But I just want to get it right from the jump.
It's Brigitte. Yes. All right. French for both. And what was your answer there? for like a year. I've been called worse, but I just want to get it right from the jump.
Brigitte.
Yes.
All right.
French for bull. And what was your answer there?
How long have you been
in one stand up?
A year.
One year.
All here in Los Angeles?
Yes, sir.
Where are you from?
L.A.
Born and raised?
No, I was born in Cincinnati.
Bell Gardens?
Very close.
Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, Ohio.
Yes.
How long have you been in LA?
Since I was What, nine months old?
I don't know what, I'll take nine months old
So what do you do for a living?
Comedy full time
I quit my social work credential to do comedy full time
How do you
How do you make money doing comedy?
I'm on social security disability
So that's how.
My job is not killing myself.
Social security disability.
Yeah.
So how'd you get that?
I applied for it when I was 18.
But what did you have to say to get it?
It's a road.
It's a journey to get free money from the government.
It took a year and a half.
Yeah. Yeah. But it's a series of tests. People from the government. It took a year and a half. Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's a series of tests.
People are judging.
They're just mad they're not getting free money from the government, I think.
But yeah.
It's okay.
Just plow through it.
Ignore them.
Oh, I always do.
Free money from the government.
Remember that guy that used to sell those books with dollar signs?
Like, there's a bunch of money out there.
Just come and get it.
They're not telling you everything.
So it's like an SAT test and you just
choose zero the whole time.
Sort of. You just have to...
I mean, I have a
disability. I mean, I don't...
Do you not want to talk about it? We can. No, we absolutely
can. Okay. If you don't want to, we don't
have to. Yeah, no. I have
borderline personality disorder. Awesome.
Yeah.
I went to my first psych ward when I was 11, and I tried to kill myself several times.
Uh-huh.
So, yeah.
So that's interesting.
What's the longest you've ever spent in a psych ward, if you don't mind talking about it?
I don't mind.
I spent 33 days in Los Encinas when I was 17.
Wow.
Yeah.
So tonight you were the suicide bomber.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Hello.
Somebody called Jeremiah telling me he can take the whole month off.
Boom, boom, boom.
Wow. Wow.
Phyllis Watkins.
Anything her brother can do, she can do better.
Incredible.
So as you were saying.
Was I?
So borderline personality.
So how does that affect you?
Can you give us an example of a time recently where like you had like an,
what we maybe call an episode.
It's weird because,
uh,
yeah.
Uh,
the bus maybe,
or,
uh,
Oh my God.
It seems like borderline personality hits a lot of people on the bus.
Um,
yeah.
The public bus system is just basically fucking,
uh,
borderline personality Uber.
You know what I mean?
It's just one big... More of a Lyft driver.
So what happened on the bus?
No, I just think that people
tend to just...
God.
Is it happening right now?
No. Not at all.
No.
Oh, it's me? Is that mine?
Is that on me?
I don't think I've ever activated one of those before.
That seems exciting.
It's weird because I think, I don't want to get all weird,
it goes back to is it the environment or is it me?
Is it people around me that made me feel pressured
and pushed into acting triggered? Or is it just me and I, is it people around me that like made me feel pressured and pushed into acting triggered
or is it just me
and I can control
my affect and emotions?
I feel guilty about being
on Social Security Disability
that I look at
who our president is
and I'm like,
fuck you, pay me.
That's how I feel about it.
So like if anybody else
has an issue.
You think it's coming
from his wallet?
No, not at all.
But I feel like
everybody else
kind of has an opinion
He's basically the only one out of all of us that doesn't pay taxes.
Right, right, but...
There you go.
Are you taking some of that wall money?
Because we need that wall.
Well, I think that's all very interesting stuff.
Have you ever had a real job?
Yeah.
Like what?
Oh, fuck.
I worked at rehabs, paramedic.
I was an ambulance driver, EMT for four years.
Wow, that must have been a lot.
You can be on social security disability and still work.
Is that true?
Let me be perfectly clear about that.
Yeah.
Aphrodite knows.
Hell yeah.
I've worked.
You're just like, how do I make a living?
And I'm like, well, right now, just that.
So I thought I'd tell you the truth.
You ever save any?
I love it.
Of course.
You're doing a great job, Brigitte.
Thanks, Tony.
Absolutely.
So you ever save anybody's life as a paramedic?
Yeah, several times.
And I've also seen people die.
So I don't think I'm. you ever save anybody's life as a paramedic yeah several times and i've also seen people die so right is there any one uh one instance that you really felt the rewards of being a paramedic was
the one time that pops in your head that really you know yeah like helping a person die somehow
actually that's exactly what it was what happened uh these these uh there there were these twins
they were born very pre-me to the point
where when we showed up to transport them we knew
they weren't going to last very long
like their blood pressure was like 2 over 4
and we
got them in the rig
to the other hospital and
while we were in there
well while we were driving before we
drove off the lady was the mom was like
just if they die just give us flash us high beams and we were driving, before we drove off, the lady was, the mom was like, just if they die, just give us, flash us high beams.
And we were like, there's no pressure there.
Don't worry.
We're like, yeah, sure.
No problem.
And then we get to the hospital and then they die in the elevator.
And when we go up.
Okay.
Right.
When we go up, the mom's already there waiting.
And we open the door and then the nurse sits with us.
Do they haunt the Overlook Hotel to this day?
So wait, so you're in the elevator.
It's the Hollywood Hotel they haunt, because we were on the way to Children's Hospital, and that's where they died.
But when we got off, she just put her hand on my shoulder.
She goes, I know it's not your fault.
Which is like the weirdest thing to say to someone, because I'm also getting paid, and also her kids were born like three months early.
So it's like, no, it's not my fault.
But thank you for reassuring me.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It was a weird moment where I was like, man, I needed to hear that.
But I also didn't need to hear that.
Wow.
Yeah.
Jeez Louise.
That's a lot.
Were they identical twins or were they?
It didn't matter.
Yeah.
Didn't matter.
Fuck him anyway. Those loser twins. Am I right? It didn't matter. Yeah, it didn't matter. Fuck them anyway.
Those loser twins.
Am I right?
She didn't get a good look at them.
Could have been fraternal.
All right.
Tony, I got a question.
Yes.
Is there anything you do every day to kind of like maintain and feel good every morning
when you get up that try to keep it at bay?
I do.
Good question.
I try to do at least 30 minutes of exercise. So like
I'll go outside for 30 minutes. That's like
a walk or a jog or a run
or roller skate. I played roller derby
for seven years. Whoa!
Hello! What was your roller
derby name? A lot of backside.
Wow!
Those are always good.
A lot of backside. That is incredible.
I could see why.
That would never be Joel's roller derby name.
That's for sure.
Lost my backside.
His name's not a backside.
I'm sorry all the weights in the front, Tony.
Look at that.
Wow.
My goodness.
Well, Brigitte, I'll tell you, the Comedy Store, a place like this,
it's always a lot of people compare it to a land of misfit toys,
and I just want to let you know I think you fit in very well here.

The weird thing is we're homeschooled.
I'd like to do a cut scene from that,
just MIA paper planes playing,
and I bust through the door,
just like,
The ancestor, Mom!
Oh, Emo said you live in the swamps.
That is my impression of Swamp Thing in the new Avengers movie.
Hell of a superhero.
I think I realized I was addicted to magic
for the first time
when I brought a rabbit out of the top hat
and saw the kid smile.
I'd like to do a little cut scene to that.
Just, am I a paper planespling?
And me just saying, hold on, where's Richard Sabalas?
Heck yeah, William Montgomery, everyone.
The sound of two premature born twins dying just rolled down the street,
so at the end of his set, heard some sirens there, some medics.
Suffocation.
Another fun set.
How about another hand for William Montgomery, everybody?
Very funny jokes.
God, I really messed up that final.
He opened strong, but with each sentence,
it made less and less sense to me
until at the end I had no idea what was going on.
Wow, you broke his formula.
It's like me when I read Shel Silverstein poems.
What are Chuck Silverstein poems?
Shel Silverstein.
What's Chuck Silverstein?? Shell. Chuck. Shell Silverstein. What's Chuck Silverstein?
Yeah, I heard Chuck.
Chuck is Shell's not his articulate cousin.
Channel one's no fun.
Yeah, hold on.
Where's Chuck?
No, there is no Chuck.
I heard Chuck.
You never even said Chuck.
I didn't.
I'm just worried about there's been this one guy on YouTube just talking.
Oh, yeah? Is there anything? I'm just worried about there's been this one guy on YouTube just talking.
Oh, yeah?
I'm sure he's loving this after the Edwards about,
I was feeling good about the set tonight, and then, God, I messed up.
William, you've been letting these commenters on YouTube really,
sometimes you really let them work you up. Is there anything you'd like to say to the guy that's been talking shit about you on YouTube?
If you want to look right down at that camera, right down the barrel, is there anything you'd like to, if the guy that's been talking shit about you on YouTube? If you want to look right down at that camera, right down the barrel,
is there anything you'd like to, if you'd like to send him a message,
is there anything you'd like to say?
Yeah, Edward Sabalis, I don't think you realize I can skate.
I don't know if you realize I don't know how to read.
It's funny you keep bringing that up.
Yeah, you are right that up. Yeah,
you are right about that. You did your research.
I failed out after
fourth grade.
The first
grade? The first grade
never learned how to read,
so you did your research. I'll give
you that. Who are you talking
to? What's his name? Edward
Sabalas. Oh, Edward. I thought you were calling
him N-word.
That would not be nice.
What kind of YouTube screen name
is Edward Sabalus? There's
no numbers in that or anything? What kind of
weird troll uses his actual name?
Just Edward underscore
Sabalus. Yeah, I have no...
Stop saying N-word.
Wow. hey.
Have you ever
said the N-word before, William?
Y'all don't repeat this,
but
there was a time I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee.
I was a big Project Pat fan,
and I'll be quite frank.
There was a time, 10th, 11th
grade, I was with my buddy Jay Martin
and his silver 4-1-er
just pounding Coors Lights,
just, yeah, singing all of Project Pat's lyrics.
Yeah, I've said it before.
You sang it along with songs.
How's that?
We missed you this week on the road.
I know.
That would have been so much fun.
So many people asking about you. We had to give a little disclaimer How's that? We missed you this week on the road. I know. That would have been so much fun.
So many people asking about you.
We had to give a little disclaimer just to make sure people knew at the beginning of almost each episode.
We told them, you know, William couldn't make it and there was a lot of groans.
Aw.
Yeah, like that. We don't know where William is.
He was in Maui, Hawaii last week.
You were?
Looking for Tony Chen. Yeah. How do you get to Maui, Hawaii last week. You were? Looking for Tony
Chun. Yeah?
How did you get to Maui?
On a boat.
It took three weeks. It was
more
than a four hour tour. I was a big
Gilligan's Island fan growing up.
Hold on. What happened to
Jeremiah?
Jeremiah?
William. Oh yes, Phyllis. You want to answer Jeremiah? Hold on, William.
Oh, yes, Phyllis, you want to answer that?
I don't know.
He's got, like, class or something.
How are you doing?
Whoa, William.
Hold on, how's it going?
Wow, William.
How long have you been playing, though?
Damn, we found your type. By the way, this is exactly a...
Are they making out right now?
What the hell just happened?
This looks like a young Bill and Hillary Clinton meeting each other for the first time in Arkansas.
Pick a black and white picture together.
Jeremiah and I are almost genetically identical.
Hold on.
Hillary?
No, I am a villain.
Wait, William, what are you doing?
Stop sexually
assaulting the poor trumpet player here.
What's going on here?
You guys know each other, right?
You guys are friends? I thought so.
William, what's going on?
You a little bit horned up tonight?
I don't think he knows I'm wearing a wig right now.
William, are you...
Y'all don't repeat this.
I've gotten back on AOL chat rooms.
You've got mad.
Cat106 at AOL.com.
Seriously, y'all don't repeat this, but I've been on the cat chat room recently.
Having fun.
And yeah, Tony, I have been just sort of getting on edge to some extent.
Recently, it's a horrible, horrible nightmare.
I've been playing Brick Breaker a bunch.
Maybe she'll let you go home with the trumpet.
This is a very expensive job.
William, do you know how to play any musical instruments?
I've never asked you that before. Before we get you out do you know how to play any musical instruments? I've never asked you that before.
Before we get you out of here.
Do you know any musical instruments?
I used to play the synthesizer.
I need to get it out here.
First time I ever went on stage was at Memphis University School.
I think that's where it all started.
I was in the 10th grade running for a student council position
running against a guy named
Ronnie Curry who
his sort of shtick was
he would fall from the top of the steps
and everyone would laugh. I was
against him. I had my synthesizer
out and I just
told everyone my life's been going pretty
hard. The only thing getting me through this
is a song. And then I
read the lyrics out to Karma Chameleon.
And then I played my synthesizer.
I need to get it back out here.
Wow. How did you
make it to 10th grade if you failed
1st grade?
I cheated.
Ah.
Truth comes out.
Don't repeat this, but yeah.
But I don't know how to read.
Y'all don't repeat that.
Is that true?
Yeah, I see those red signs everywhere,
the hexagons, I think. I don't, what do they say, stop?
All right.
William, always so much fun.
Always one of my favorite parts of the show.
Thank you.
Make some noise for him.
Another new minute and another great interview by William Montgomery.
Yeah, there he goes.
You guys want to go back to the bucket one more time, huh?
Let's do this shit.
Your final comedian of the night goes by the name of Bobby Jimmy.
Bobby Jimmy.
Hey.
How about another hand for the band, too?
Oh, my God.
Hell yeah, one more time for Bobby Jimmy, everyone What up?
So I just rode my Harley out here from Colorado
My arms are tired
Thanks
So I live in a small mountain town in Colorado,
and we don't have any traffic lights,
but I think they still mean green is go.
Here in L.A., it seems to me, watch the fuck out.
I don't know if anybody drives a car built before 1940,
but that was the last year they were made without turn signals.
I haven't done
comedy before, but I think traffic comedy might be
a thing. Might kill with traffic comedy.
I saw a high speed chase here in LA last week
where a guy was hanging out of the window and shooting at the
cops at the same time.
There was a pursuit vehicle full of Japanese tourists
taking photos at the same time.
Traffic here is like Disneyland or the Walk of Fame
or the Glory Hole here at the Comedy Store.
It's a tourist attraction.
And I think that's my time.
Hell yeah, absolutely.
Bobby Jimmy.
Yeah, keep that mic out of there.
I want to talk with you, Bobby.
This is very, first of all,
this was your first time ever doing stand-up?
Yeah.
I fucking love it.
Put your hands together for Bobby Jimmy.
We're about to have a nice talk.
I'm excited about this.
Sweating, shaky voice.
It's all good. You're comfortable now. We're going to just talk with you. I'm excited about this. Sweating, shaky voice. It's all good.
You're comfortable now.
We're going to just talk with you, ask you some questions about your life.
I want to find out more about you.
We've never really had a Civil War reenactor on this show before.
This is very exciting.
So you're from Colorado?
Yes, sir.
Born and raised?
No, I've been out there for a little while, like 30 years.
Yeah.
What have you been doing?
Can we ask how old you are?
Snowboarding, road and weed, and skateboarding.
Man, look at you.
That's basically like our entire band all in one.
That's the things that they're into.
Yeah, the rim shot was slow, so there's got to be some reason.
Yeah, we're usually not paying attention.
Hold on.
Anytime Joel gets to take a break, he likes to go lay under the bushes with his sandwich and a lunchbox.
And his hat.
A lot of people don't know that's how Joel actually sleeps.
A very Fire Marshal Bill approach.
So Bobby Jimmy, hell yeah, the Daniel Day-Lewis of the open mic scene.
Let's talk about it.
What made you want to start stand-up comedy?
What made you want to do it?
Like everybody in the world just grew up watching comedy, love it,
and this place is iconic, and given the chance to do it, I signed up.
Damn right, absolutely.
How long are you visiting L.A. for?
I come out here once in a while.
I'm here for like another week, I think.
What are you, you ride a motorcycle out here or something?
Try to as often as I can, but it's dangerous as shit.
Is that what you brought this time?
Yeah.
Yeah, and you come out time? Yeah. Yeah.
And you come out solo?
You have a sidecar or anything like that with one of your buddies?
No, no sidecars.
Solo, yeah.
That's so fun.
It's a one-person thing, a motorcycle.
Yeah, I know.
Motorcycles are a one-person thing.
Oh, yeah.
Fuck yeah.
How many people do you get on that motorcycle?
In this country?
Just me.
I mean, my bike probably holds five or six.
What about other countries?
Yeah, in the Philippines, Thailand, something like that.
Yeah.
Bobby, tell us more about you.
What have you been doing your whole life?
Tell us, like, other than the skateboarding and snowboarding.
Yeah, that's about it.
Skateboarding my whole life.
So I come out here to Venice to score heroin and skate around a little bit.
I love it.
Is that true?
You do heroin?
Not often, but that's the place I've found.
I love it.
That is so cool.
Yeah, I went in Venice.
How does heroin make you feel?
I got a pilt on if you want to borrow my wrist.
What's the first 10 minutes of heroin when you feel it?
I'm just BSing.
I can't join it.
Oh, I was so excited.
I thought we were finding out that you do heroin sometimes.
Well, it's a Venice thing, right?
We were hoping you would tie off right here.
Yeah, that would have been pretty epic.
You got a belt.
You have any kids, Bobby?
Not that I know of, no.
You ever been married?
No.
No.
You have a girlfriend?
Yeah.
Back in Colorado.
Sure, yeah.
How's the relationship?
A little bit rocky right now?
She wants to put a...
You ever tap the Rockies?
It has its highs and lows.
Yeah.
Hey, I like that.
So how long you been with her?
Off and on about a year.
It's Colorado, so you get your turn, like a doorknob.
Wow.
So you're saying, like, women get around.
They sleep with multiple men in Colorado.
And the guys do, too.
Yeah, it's tough.
You've got to be a player.
You've got to be able to do a backflip on a snowboard
or else you're not getting any action.
Damn, look at you.
That's a whole different world out there.
You excited about the mushroom?
I know I've never gotten any action in Colorado.
You're big in Colorado.
I thought it was just because I was breathing too hard
You excited about the new legalized mushrooms?
It's decriminalized already
I don't think I'm excited
I go into places and I have to wonder now
Who might be tripping a little bit
Microdosing
You go into a restaurant now and the staff ignores you
They just hide and giggle
and you got to think
like half of them are.
Is that true?
No.
Yeah.
People are eating
shit out of you
at P.F. Chang's.
Yeah.
I know a lot of people
micro dosing
and that's like weird
because you could take
like,
like I know a guy
micro dosing acid.
Like you could just have
like a little piece of acid
and be tripping your ass off
and you're working
at Panera Bread
and you're like-dosing.
I've never been a fan of micro-dosing.
If you give me a bag of mushrooms, I'm going to
eat them all. I'm not going to be like,
I need a cap.
When's the last time you ate mushrooms?
A couple days ago.
Are you fucking with us or are you telling the truth?
A couple days ago.
What did you do?
I went to dinner.
This is here in LA, Colorado?
Again, you got a little bag of mushrooms,
and you're supposed to only eat one,
and then you end up eating the whole bag.
I mean, for some people, they might have gone to the hospital, but I've tripped before.
I know what some people do.
I'm asking you, when you ate them a couple days ago,
what did you do?
What were you doing?
Were you hanging out at the beach?
I went to dinner.
I went to a restaurant.
I went to dinner.
And once I felt like I needed to leave.
Can I ask you where you were eating dinner at?
Somewhere in Upland.
I don't even know where that is.
Just like a diner?
No, a nice restaurant.
Oh, you went to a nice restaurant?
I love that place.
Not that place.
The other place.
Oh, the other nice restaurant.
That's so...
But yeah, if...
You know, comedy kind of involves details.
That's what he's going for here.
I honestly didn't know the name of the restaurant.
Right, but it's like an upscale restaurant,
and then all of a sudden the mushrooms really kicks in.
They had linen napkins, yeah.
Wait, what?
Linen napkins.
Oh, yeah, linen napkins.
So did you get to finish your meal, or did you trip so hard you just, like, left?
No, it unfortunately didn't kick in the way I wanted it to.
I think the microdosing, you have different species of mushrooms now,
so you can get, like, you know, the kind you're going to see God with,
or maybe the kind you can go out to dinner with.
Right, right.
What do you do when you see God?
Do you like –
Ask him for forgiveness and be showered with his love.
For what?
What do you need forgiveness for?
Anything interesting?
You ever commit a crime?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I grow weeds, and before it became legal, that was a crime.
Have you had a bad trip before like a really bad
trip? Not a really bad
one I think you know we've
zoned out pretty hard. Remember
those talking coke machines back
in the 80s that kind of freaked me out after
a Pink Floyd concert. You know
you put the money in and they would talk to you and
I actually had to have somebody help me with that.
How long were you
how long have you been growing weed in Colorado?
In Colorado, 30 years.
Oh, how long have you been growing weed, period?
What year is it?
84 I started.
Wow, that's interesting.
I am old.
34 years.
Yeah.
Thank you for your service.
It's pretty good.
Incredible.
No problem.
My goodness.
What else?
There must be some more about you.
I can tell there's some interesting shit underneath this tough guy exterior.
I've traveled around the world racing skateboards.
That's been pretty cool.
Wow.
I used to come out here and race.
You race?
Glendora Mountain Road.
You go downhill? Yeah. What's the fastest you here and race. You race? Glendora Mountain Road. You go downhill?
Yeah.
What's the fastest you've ever gone on a skateboard?
Over 70.
What the?
Wow.
Okay, now we're getting there.
That's fucking interesting.
You wear like a leather suit and a helmet when you do it?
That's what it looks like.
Oh, don't do that.
Wow.
That is incredible.
Yeah, there's Glendora Mountain Road out here is a big one.
GMR.
This is a birthplace.
Signal Hill was where it started.
Is there any video of you out on the internet?
You know what?
Yeah, there is actually a video of me where I'm high on acid,
and we were talking about skateboarding.
Oh, you're just talking about it.
No, no.
There's video footage of me skateboarding.
They didn't know I was high.
Speed skateboarding?
Is there any video of you going over 50 miles an hour on a skateboard somewhere?
Vice.
It's on Vice.
Shut up.
Do you know what we would search, just so that people listen to the podcast?
There's a show with Rick McCrank, and it's...
Abandoned?
No, that was the one he did with the empty buildings.
It was another one about skateboarding that they did after that.
And they were supposed to interview me on Friday, and it didn't happen.
Saturday, it didn't happen.
And then Sunday, I started partying with a bunch of my friends,
and the producers came over and said, hey, we're ready for that interview.
Oh, wow.
And all my buddies were like, good luck.
That's awesome.
So the episode actually closes with me saying something philosophical
because that was out of my head.
I love that.
That's so cool.
Rick McRae on Vice. I'm getting applauded for. I love that. That's so cool. Rick McRae on Vice.
I'm getting applauded for tripping on acid.
That's great. Mom and dad.
You ever been injured?
Many times.
What's the worst injury you ever had?
Waking up in the
hospital was pretty bad.
Head injury?
Yeah, right to the back of the dome. Had a helmet on.
That explains a lot. Woke up, yeah. to the back of the dome had a helmet on that explains a lot woke up yeah
woke up in the hospital and um said where the hell am i my buddies are like you've been talking to us
for the last half hour dude wow really so that was yeah there's thumbs are going the wrong way
and and that that was a skateboarding one, the head injury? Yeah. Because that's cement.
Probably a lot easier to have a traumatic brain injury from that than snowboarding.
Yeah.
There's, you know, CTE runs rampant through that whole extreme sport industry.
You know, you got the, especially the fringe sports where you're doing stupid stuff like that, going 70 on a skateboard.
You can get messed up.
I don't do it too much anymore.
Right. How old are you? 48. You can get messed up. I don't do it too much anymore.
How old are you? 48.
Oh, okay.
Cool. Heck yeah.
I'm going to say something and then you say, yeah, you know me.
C-T-E? Yeah, you know
me.
Alright, Bobby.
Well, I mean, so much fun.
Nice to meet you. You think you're going to come back next time, sign up again?
I don't.
I know this was awesome.
I had a chance to do this at the Comedy Store.
This is fucking cool.
I don't know if I could ever top that.
There he goes.

Thanks, Bobby.

comics that come up here,

Absolutely.
I always say that if I was starting out
or anywhere near my first few years,
I would be definitely signing up every week for this show.
Lord knows, I begged,
I bent the knee to people running open mics
to give me a janky three-minute spot before.
So how about a hand for her first time ever in the band,
Phyllis Watkins, everybody.
Jessie Johnson.
She's on social media at what?
Jetski Johnson.

You know him, you love him.
He's on social media at Mostly Sorry.
Joel, you just went to six or seven cities you've never been to in your life
doing sold-out shows.
How do you feel about that?
Oh, I'm so jet-lagged.
I can't wait to sleep, but I love you guys.
