All right,
guys,
here's a brand new episode of kill Tony.
Hey,
this is red band. Come to you live from the world-famous comedy store for a brand-new episode of Kill Tony, Volume 2.
Give it up for Tony Hedgler!
Yeah, fuck yeah, everybody. Holy moly.
Can you guys believe it? It's Monday night, everyone.
How you guys believe it? It's Monday night, everyone. How are you guys doing?
This is Kill Tony number 64, for those of you keeping track.
64.
64 motherfucking episodes of Kill Tony.
And we're blowing up, people.
It's all happening.
In fact, I'm happy to announce that today we have our first ever real sponsor, everybody.
Real sponsor.
A real sponsor.
That's right.
McDonald's, Squirt, you name it.
If you didn't catch on, I'm sorry to break the news to you, listeners, but that was all a big joke.
However, tonight we actually have a real
sponsor. She cooked
food for Red Band, myself,
our guests, and the producer
Josh Martin.
And it was unbelievable.
It's delicious. The gourmet cooking.
Put your hands together for Elise Lane, everybody.
Sitting right over there.
A super
awesome chef.
She's worked with many, many great chefs.
She's the one.
Part of her job is she's a recipe checker, people.
So when chefs come out with something,
she's the one that says,
this sucks or put it in the book.
That's an actual job.
And she was nice enough to make us an amazing meal.
I believe there was some ahi tuna, some edamame, some shrimp rolls, some glass noodles.
And so if any listeners in Southern California and perhaps even wherever you are listening from around the world.
You could fly her out.
I'm sure she doesn't mind.
You could fly her out.
Maybe she could freeze up some dishes for you, send them on ice.
I'm sure that's possible for the right amount of money.
Her name is Elise Lane.
You can follow her on Twitter at Elise Lane, E-L-Y-S-E-L-A-I-N,
a very confusing name to spell.
But her Instagram is much easier.
That's at thegirlwithapan, thegirlwithapan.
Look her up on Instagram.
It's like food porn, right? That's one ofgirlwithapan. The girl with a pan. Look her up on Instagram. It's like food porn, right?
Yeah.
That's one of your big hashtags.
I looked you up earlier, and the dishes were unbelievable.
Lemon risotto, something I saw, some crazy stuff.
On Facebook, she's thegirlwithapan.
On Instagram and Facebook, just look up thegirlwithapan.
That's Elise Lane.
Follow her on Twitter.
She's unbelievable.
Mix some good food into your life,
people. Oh, shit. And if you're having a party,
have her cater it, man. Have her cater
some awesome... This is like legit
food. This isn't like chicken
or chipotle. Right.
This is hard
going to a nice restaurant and having
it catered. I was very surprised
with how delicious it was. Thank you very much.
And we're definitely going to have her back anytime we have guests that are foodies on. And I was very surprised with how delicious it was. Thank you very much. We're definitely going to have her back anytime
we have guests that are foodies
on. I'm very
excited about our new partnership with
Elise. For all you comedians in the
room, if you ever make it big,
hire Elise for a party.
17 years from now
when one of you makes it big,
hire Elise.
Or her daughter. She might have a daughter at that time.
Elise Jr.
I'm so excited.
It was another fun weekend.
I was out of town in San Francisco.
There's a lot of shakeup here at the Comedy Store.
A big, big, big, crazy shift in power and momentum
as a Kill Tony special consultant.
He was on a few episodes.
Tommy Morris is no longer with the Comedy Store.
He was the talent coordinator here since I've been here,
and for the last about ten years,
he was under the tutelage of the great Mitzi Shore.
And now Adam Egott is the new talent coordinator of the Comedy Store.
An amazing maneuver.
Very cool guy.
Very hip. Very awesome.
Every adjective
I need to call him for my spots
to continue happening here.
He's got a huge dick.
He's not standing in the back right now.
Beautiful.
Always well dressed. Hilarious.
Best skin ever.
I mean...
But what's amazing is we had Tommy on a few episodes as a consultant,
but Adam was actually on an episode just a few weeks ago with Andrew Santino,
and that's available out there on iTunes and at deathsquad.tv.
You can watch it and see how some of you young comedians
can see how the new talent coordinator thinks about stuff.
Go back and watch that. Check out his taste.
And it's been very interesting here.
Tony, you missed this whole weekend,
but I had to make
it here. If you guys hang out at the Comedy Store,
now's the time to be hanging out here.
So much nonsense, like craziness
is happening. People are coming, like Tosh
was here the other day. All these
comics that you haven't seen
here are just suddenly appearing here now
because of the news.
So this is an exciting time for the comedy store.
So just start showing up here, guys.
It's going to be pretty...
I bet you anything this week
we're going to see something insane.
Me and you already know about it, I think.
We probably shouldn't say it.
We probably shouldn't say it.
We'll talk about it next week.
Because somebody might think. We probably shouldn't say it. We'll talk about it next week because somebody
might
be coming
back to the comedy
store. We're not going to name any names
but
anybody that knows me and Brian and sees
our excitement could probably
make some... Anyway, let's just move forward.
Connect the dots.
Great stuff happening here at the Comedy Store,
the home of Kill Tony.
That's right.
So it was a fun weekend.
I was in San Francisco with Jeffrey Ross,
and I'm excited to be back.
It was a nice, long, gloomy weekend. San Francisco is just the worst weather
you've ever imagined in your life.
Like, they say Seattle's more depressing,
but I think San Fran's a little bit more depressing
because it doesn't have that depressing stigma.
So, like, you're thinking that it might be nice when you get there,
and it's not nice at all.
San Francisco's weather is garbage,
and I was excited to tell them that from on stage.
I just completely destroyed them.
I talked about how the pot's not even
strong enough there.
Are you serious? Well, I mean, it is,
but I'm saying the pot's not
strong enough for San Francisco to be fun.
I kept telling
them that.
They're a smart crowd,
and they like
taking jokes.
It was also a Jeff Ross crowd, so they like getting made They like taking jokes. And it's also, it was also, you know, a Jeff Ross crowd.
So they like getting made fun of.
But man, San Fran can't really take it when you're just being honest with them.
Like, your city sort of sucks.
And they're like, well, why don't you go back to fucking LA?
And it's like, no, I will.
I like sunlight.
Yeah, I like San Fran.
But you're right.
The weather is always awful there.
And it's so expensive.
I just don't understand why people move up there
and pay more money for less sun.
It's crazy.
Makes no sense.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
San Fran, I love you.
Good people.
But build a fucking machine to break up the clouds or something.
It's just, if you're that fancy of a city
and you're that way ahead of the time,
build a cloud breaker.
The cloud breaker.
That sounds like a cool name for something.
Cloud breaker.
Hiding in the red corner.
Raymond, the cloud breaker.
Doesn't even matter the last name.
You don't even need a last name
if you have the nickname the cloud breaker.
Speaking of powerful people with fancy nicknames,
we always have a head of security on the show.
This is somebody's first time doing this position.
For those of you new to the show, we've always had a head of security.
It used to be a man that went by the name of The Iron Patriot,
who quit around episode 30 saying he got too big for the show.
At that point, we decided to show him exactly how
replaceable he is by hiring a
brand new replacement each week.
This week will be no different.
A very special patriot. For those
of you that have listened for a long time, you might
recognize him as a very fun, young, rising
comedian named Scott Kidd, but tonight
he is the Kid Patriot.
A brand new Patriot.
Kid, how you doing?
Good.
How are you guys doing?
Wow, strong voice.
Yeah, probably one of the more confident Patriots we've ever had.
Fuck yeah. Wow, okay. of the more confident patriots we've ever had. Fuck yeah.
Wow, okay.
You really got the rhythm down.
Is this your first time dressing up like a superhero?
No, actually, it's not.
I've been Robin, Superman, Green Lantern, and I think that's it. Have you been any superhero that doesn't wear underwear over their pants?
No, no, that's prerequisite.
So this is a first for you.
Actually, yeah.
Very good. Well, welcome. I'm glad we
got you all wired for sound.
And how's everything else?
You good? You cozy? Good.
You have the classic school shooter
black Adidas with white striped shoes.
You can't hide those.
No, never. Fuck yeah.
Well, I like your style.
We have a very exciting show, and I'm glad that you're with us.
I'm going to pack up this gourmet food from Elise Lane, because this got left here.
Delicious gourmet food.
A private chef for hire.
You can also call her at her home number.
No, I'm kidding.
Just kidding, guys.
I wouldn't do that.
Let's get this out of the way.
Scott, you're excited? You ready for this?
Now, Scott's one of the first people that actually asked to be the Patriot
before I asked them.
He actually messaged me via Facebook today,
and for some reason, something in my gut,
and I'm not sure why or what, told me to go with it.
Hell yeah. Thank you.
Now why is it that you were looking forward to being the Patriot so much?
Well, you know, I'm just that
kind of goofy guy. I felt like
I could fit the character.
Okay, let's move on.
Now what I love though is that if you know anything
about the show, you also know that the Patriot's only
real job is to have a question
for whichever two guests are on that episode.
Now, what I loved about what happened today is I go,
you have questions for our guests, right?
For our guests, right?
And he goes, yeah, yeah, totally.
I go, okay, let's just give this a run through.
What are your questions?
And he goes, well, for Rick Glassman, I'm going to ask this,
and for Brent Morin, I'm going to ask this.
I go, fuckhead, those were last week's guests.
So he already blew it ten minutes
before the show started and I updated
him that he's confused because
our guests are the other two
stars of the hit show,
Undateable on NBC,
which just got picked up for season two.
Season two!
Some people say that's coincidence
that I had the cast members on one week
and then the next week and it got picked up in between.
But we call that the Kill Tony bump.
Put your hands together for the great Chris Dilley
and Ron Funches are here.
Radio advised.
With every one of those late night stations
playing songs bringing tears to my eyes.
I was seriously thinking about hiding a receiver.
Now, I say the whole undateable thing,
but we've all been doing stand-up together for a long time.
That's right.
And I'm so glad that you guys are here
because this is a very stand-up-oriented podcast.
And you guys are awesome.
How are you guys feeling?
Good.
I feel good.
I feel protected.
Yeah.
You ever work with anything that close to anything that creepy next to you?
I wish I could say no.
I got him right here.
Patriot Funches.
Welcome, Ron.
How's it going?
Pretty good.
Thank you for the delicious meal that you provided.
Yes, from Elise Lane.
You guys both had a – you guys liked it?
Good stuff, right?
Yeah, it was really good.
That's awesome.
Really good.
That's awesome. And good. That's awesome.
And Elise is available for hire.
She's probably too busy after this bump, right?
Heck yeah.
The Kill Tony bump.
So how fun.
I'm so glad you guys are here.
We're going to have a fucking blast, as always.
I had the two other guys on last week.
You guys work with them a lot.
I am attributing
our second season,
whatever that word is.
Oh, you can't talk,
you little bitch.
Remember you said you weren't going to do this?
I'm sorry.
I am attributing
our second season pickup to you.
Yes. Boom, you heard it here.
That's right.
Chris confirmed it.
If you have a TV show, people, that needs to get picked up for a second season,
I'd be happy to have you on the show.
That's right.
So let's get into it.
Patriot, what are your questions for tonight's guest?
Well, I have a question for Ron.
Yeah, exactly.
Ron, you're such a likable guy.
I was wondering, what do you think or what do you feel was the best decision that you made in your comedy career?
That's like a really good question.
Yeah.
It's a deep question.
From a guy dressed up.
Yeah.
Thank you, Iron Patriot.
The guy wearing five-year-old's pajamas. It's a deep question. From a guy dressed up. Yeah. Thank you, Iron Patriot. The guy wearing five-year-old's pajamas.
It's a deep question.
Probably just staying in Portland and doing comedy in Portland was a big deal for me because there wasn't really any map on how to do it.
So people just kind of did whatever made them happy, what made them laugh. And I didn't go out and do like,
kind of the pre-way to do it before that
was to go out and do triple runs in Minnesota,
or Montana and shitty places.
And I was just like, I'm not going to do that.
I'd rather just stay in the city and just work on my act
and not worry about getting 50 bucks
and just focus on getting better.
I think that was probably the best decision.
How much time did you spend in Portland before leaving there?
Six years. Wow. So you you spend in Portland before leaving there? Six years.
Wow.
So you got professional there.
Yeah.
I mean, I was doing stuff.
I had already been on Conan before I left Portland.
Wow.
So you worked it all out there.
When you first started stand-up, were you talking really fast and stuff?
And you're like...
I was doing regular stuff.
I was doing like, who's drinking the night?
I still do that, but yeah.
And then I was like,
oh, well don't offer me anything
because I'm allergic.
That's a good punchline.
Yeah.
They loved it.
Patriot, what's your question for Chris?
Chris.
You had a good one for him.
You better not fuck this up.
We'll see.
Chris, you're noted as having the influences
of Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy.
Sure.
Let's just say some magical miracle occurs
where you could go back in time
and play either one of them in one of their movies.
Which role would you choose?
This guy's coming correct, dude.
Yeah, that was a great question.
Jesus Christ.
For not knowing who the guests were until five minutes ago,
you really...
You got a smartphone.
You just Googled that shit, huh?
Yeah, it's on my Wikipedia.
I just saw that.
I would pick
for sure Beverly Hills Cop.
Absolutely.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
I'd like to see that.
Definitely.
But the one where they went to Magic Mountain.
That's the one I like.
You just want to go to Magic Mountain. You's the one I like. You just want to go to Magic Mountain.
You can just get a ticket.
Yeah.
But I want to go when there's nobody there.
Yeah, right.
Well, that actually just inspired a question for me.
If you were to play Jim Carrey's character
in Dumb and Dumber,
who would you want your Jeff Daniels to be?
You have one in mind?
Oh, that's a good question.
Fuck, that's a good question. Fuck, that's a good question.
Not Brent Morin.
How about that?
That's my answer.
That's a perfect answer.
That's a perfect answer.
Let's get into the show.
You guys ready for Kill Tony 64?
Over 20 comedians signed up
for the opportunity to do one minute
men talk shop with me, Red Band, the guests,
and even little Patriot Boy over there.
And we are going to do that.
What?
Did you just malfunction?
Comedians, come up when I say your name,
and you know that you get one minute of stage time,
and you know that your minute is up when you hear the sound of a kitty.
You can barely hear it.
Listen to how quiet that little baby kitty is.
Did somebody just squeeze a real kitty?
Listen to that kitty one more
time so you don't get confused.
There you go. That's way louder.
That's when your time is up.
That means wrap it up then. You can't run
the time or else you're going to bring out the
angry West Hollywood bear.
God, he is furious tonight.
Why didn't you mention the owl that hangs out with the bear?
There's always little animals hanging out with him each week.
It's always something different.
I was surprised to hear an owl in that one.
I'm trying to be more bird-friendly. I like that. with them each week. It's always something different. I was surprised to hear an owl in that one. I'm trying to be more bird friendly.
I like that.
Yeah.
Oh, I see.
Well, good to know.
It's a good goal.
Guys, are you excited?
This is Kill Tony number 64.
Let's get it on.
Going up first.
Doing a minute.
Put your hands together for Sierra Cattell.
Okay, go get her.
Now, what's interesting,
we're going to kill some time here for a second
because Sierra Cattell, I happen to know,
is one of the only comedians under 21
that signed up for the show.
So what that means is
since it's a 21 and over club,
she's outside right now waiting,
hoping that her name just got pulled out of a bucket.
Little does she know that it actually did.
It's not the best for a live show
to have somebody waiting on the front patio.
Is she five? How old is she?
I would like...
I think she's...
19 or 20.
I'd love to see a five-year-old do stand-up.
She's totally
relatable for me.
She's totally relatable For me She's real blue
Told my fucking mom to suck my dick
Patriot's hand is up
This should be interesting
I just happened to notice
I think her birthday was a couple days ago
Well you're a creepy guy
And the end of that sentence was
And now she's too old
Experience together Sierra Cattell everybody Here she is And the end of that sentence was, and now she's too old.
Experience together.
All right, Sierra Cattell, everybody.
Here she is.
Cool.
Hey, folks.
This is really exciting.
This is a little different for me.
I'm used to running my jokes by my grandma.
I don't know if you guys do this too. Maybe run your jokes by my grandma.
Yeah.
And if she laughs, then I know it's funny
and I'll come up here and perform it for you guys.
And then if she doesn't laugh, I perform it anyway.
It's like, what the hell does she know, right?
She doesn't even speak English.
So I don't know why.
No, actually, my grandma used to love coming to my shows.
And, you know, after a while, it kind of got annoying. So I was like, gotta stay home,
grandma. You know what I mean? Like, no more coming to my shows. But, you know, she found
a loophole, as grandmas do, right? And then she died, and now she's always watching my shows. Damn it, Grandma.
She's so clever and so dead.
I don't know.
Yeah, a little bit about me.
So I'm in college right now,
but I did well in high school.
I was valedictorian class president,
but, you know,
those are just some of the perks of being here.
The bear.
She brought out the bear. That was fun, Sierra.
I even gave her two meows because she's so adorbs.
Totes adorbs.
So much fun.
Hell yeah.
How old are you, Sierra?
I turned 20 last Saturday.
Wow.
Patriot was right.
It makes it that much scarier
when you know the Patriots out there on Facebook
just hawking everybody.
Facebook let me know.
I wish her a happy birthday. Done deal, guys.
Done.
That's the wrong time to say done deal.
I realize that.
That doesn't go there.
Done deal just says that it's not a done deal.
That means that you did some more Googling after that.
But Sierra's only 20.
Let's not scare her away from comedy for good, Patriot.
Have you been getting up? Have you been getting up?
Have you been getting spots?
Yeah, totally.
What main clubs are you going to?
They let me do the Laugh Factory every Tuesday.
Oh, no, don't tell the time,
because the Patriot's going to come find you, remember.
At 6 a.m.
Yeah, yeah.
I did Flappers last Sunday. I don't know just anything i can do i come here every monday and sit out in the patio and just look weird that's great we need to get you
a fake fake id though yeah yeah because half of half of being a stand-up especially is is watching
comedy do you watch a lot of comedy yeah i mean like laugh factory lets me sit in the back all the time so i you know it's only really here that's super strict yeah and sometimes the uh
which you know i understand um which and then let's see the improv um for the most part i was
able to go to their open mics and everything be fine but i think they started moving it to like
the bar so then i kind of one time i just went in and was like oh yeah I'm 21 what and then another time
you know I just
sat outside and drew on a
table I mean on a pad
I don't know. You didn't vandalize is what you're saying.
Yeah yeah it was fine. Are you Banksy?
That'd be cool.
Are you wait so how long have you been doing
stand up? About
okay I first went up when I was 16 I do it on and
off not so much during the how long have you been doing stand-up? I first went up when I was 16. I do it on and off.
Not so much
during the school year when I'm at college.
You go to Harvard.
You do?
I brought you guys to the Lampoon.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
I thought I just recognized her from here.
That's right.
It's fun.
I got to take Bong here to the castle because of you.
Yeah, that was neat.
And that's for real.
He wasn't high.
That really happened.
They were great.
So you ran into these guys on campus?
They were doing their Undateable tour and were performing at Laugh Boston nearby.
So I just got them to come by
the castle. Awesome. And they gave me
that award that I rubbed into the cast
every day since then. Yeah, good.
That's the idea. That's some real
Harvard skull and bone shit right there.
Yeah, it was cool. Taking them to a castle.
Yeah, it was very cool. Yeah, yeah.
That's a big part of the comedy culture.
So you've always wanted to do
stand-up or what?
Pretty much.
I mean, when I started, I felt like I wanted to do it,
and then I went to school, and I continued doing it at school.
And then every time I, you know, every summer and winter break,
I come back here to pursue a market since I started here.
But I try to do it in Boston.
There's good rooms out there, right?
Yeah, there's a lot going on out there.
It's really cool.
The community is tight, So it's fun.
Do you do any drugs?
Because I kind of feel like you're really funny but I want to see you on drugs.
You know, I don't do any hard drugs.
Still figuring out
the underage drinking thing.
I don't know.
I don't know. It's all... I don't know.
You should just dabble for a little bit.
Ron, first of all, Ron.
Come on, man.
She's not even 21.
And what the fuck are you doing, Patriot?
Help.
He's told her to do drugs
and Patriot's just look at his palms
I couldn't remember what hard drugs were
drugs are drugs I'm sorry
that's actually the truest thing you said
did your grandmother really die?
no but she's gonna
one's still going strong
the other one did pass away
before I was born
too soon
that's your grandma's name
too soon
Sierra Catao everybody
congratulations
you did great
great set
fun times
Sierra I think you dropped
something on this stage
I think you
I don't know what that is.
It might be a receipt for...
Follow her on Twitter, listeners.
She's Sierra Catow.
Sierra, K-A-T-O-W.
All one word.
You can follow her on Twitter.
Maybe pull a Patriot.
Find out when her next birthday is.
Follow her closely.
I can't believe the comedy store is this strict one.
I know, right?
What the fuck?
The only thing they protect is their liquor license.
You can jizz on the walls,
but if you're not 21, get the fuck out.
That's the store for you.
Maybe we can get Ico's ID or something.
Somebody like that.
Yeah, that's true. I'm sure she could pass
as just any random Asian girl.
Maybe Bobby Lee.
Put your hands together for your next comic.
It's Zach Kirby.
Zach Kirby.
This might be him walking up right now.
Here it is, Zach Kirby.
Ooh, we're confident.
He's joking.
Hey, everyone.
I just graduated from junior college.
Is there anyone here in college?
Whenever I was in the bathrooms at my junior college,
I couldn't help but notice
some of the most offensive statements
I've ever read in my entire life
always happened to be graffitied
upon those stall walls
at my local junior college.
One time I went into the bathroom stall
either before or in the middle of class
to take a shit,
and someone had literally written on the wall
in Sharpie and in all caps,
I fucking hate blind people
as i was sitting there my cheeks spread wide open to allow the previous night's baja fresh
to flow like in and out spread out of the end of my bowels all i could think to myself was one
why did this guy hate blind people so much what did he have against them
and two was he talking about like like Asian drivers or actual blind people?
So I go to wipe and I realize
that there's no more toilet paper in the stall that I'm in
and the bathroom is packed.
There you go. 58 seconds
of thunder and lightning.
Before the cat.
Beat the cat.
Zach, that was interesting.
Thank you.
It almost seems like a very true,
I mean, first of all,
I loved how confidently you asked
if anybody else just graduated from junior college.
You asked that like,
hey, does anybody else like sunlight and water?
Like very casual.
And I liked the pause that he didn't give after he asked the question.
The not waiting for the answer was good.
I actually said those two lines out of order.
Oh.
Oh, that's amazing.
Very descriptive.
Oh, yeah.
It was very descriptive.
I think I'm dirty, but you're really just talking about opening up your butthole and letting...
Baja Fresh really painted a picture there.
Yeah.
You made it sound like you poop differently than everybody else.
I had an experience with Baja Fresh, so I had to throw that in.
You had what?
I had an experience with Baja Fresh,
so I felt like I should throw that in.
What, did you get molested there?
What happened?
It gave me a really big bathroom experience.
Every since then.
At the actual Baja Fresh bathroom?
No, the next day.
I had eaten Baja Fresh one night,
and then the next day, I had an explosive experience. It, the next day, like, I had eaten Baja Fresh one night, and then the next day, like, I had an explosive experience.
It was the next day?
Yeah, the next morning.
You have a pretty strong system to be able to hold Baja Fresh in overnight.
I didn't really know that you could have it.
I was just waiting until the last possible moment.
We're coming out, but wait, we're not ready.
You're going to have horrible diarrhea in about 24 hours.
The beans aren't here yet.
Bunch up, we're out.
You walked very slowly up here, meticulously.
And I noticed you were also walking next to a guy
that was wearing another Dodgers shirt.
Was that your friend, or was that just a coincidence?
He was just in my way.
That's why I walked so slowly.
How many times have you been on stage?
This is my first time.
First time?
There you go.
We did it again.
That's awesome.
Popped another cherry here on Kill Tony.
How fun.
The timing thing is the biggest thing.
At the beginning, you really have to be comfortable.
Either that or you could be that awkward and kill in two seconds.
But that's going to be hard to mimic.
Right.
That exact...
I don't know if it was on purpose or a complete coincidence.
I was just going with the flow.
If you always do that, you're going to have a lot of fun.
Just vibing with the room.
First time on stage and you were getting hard laughs from the four of us in about two and a half seconds.
We all know it wasn't like that, though.
It wasn't punchline related.
It's true.
In fact, during one of the only strategic punchlines
I thought was the least exciting part,
and that was the bad drivers,
was the blind or bad drivers.
Like you brought in a, or Asian drivers,
you brought in like a topic out of nowhere
when everything else sort of painted a real picture.
That was the one line that I wasn't sure on. That was the one line. That was the one line that I wasn't sure on.
That was the one line.
That was the one line.
Yeah, I probably would ax that line.
I mean, that's, you know, Asian driver
joke. Come on. That's, you know. Right.
When you already have them committed to Baja
Fresh and all that other stuff,
there's no reason to go.
And I'm taking a shit,
and the Baja Fresh is coming out of my butt, and then a chicken crossed the road, and I'm like, what? You know, you don't reason to go and I'm taking a shit and a Baja Fresh is coming out of my butt
and then a chicken
crossed the road
and I'm like what?
You don't need to go
you don't want to go backwards.
He's like well it really happened.
Wait so
but also
but also how old are you?
I'm 23.
Alright so you're young
and you got on stage
for the first time
so really the only
thing that you could do
that would help you
is to just get on stage as much as possible.
Yeah.
To tell you
do this, do that, it's just like
kind of moot. Totally.
You just gotta keep doing it. Is stand-up something that you've always
wanted to do?
Not really. I just keep eating Baja Fresh.
I got really into
stand-up when I was in high school
and I thought I could do it, but I didn't try.
I started listening to your show a couple months ago.
This show?
This show, and it made me decide to go ahead and write my first minute.
That's cool.
Hey, look at you, inspiring people.
I've signed up like five times and finally got on.
Wow.
That's cool, dude.
That's so cool, man. That's fucking awesome. Now just keep on. Wow. That's cool, dude. That's so cool, man.
That's fucking awesome.
Now just keep on going up.
Try to go up at least two or three times a week,
if minimal, Matt.
Yeah, for sure.
You can find a lot of places that,
like there's this laundry place down the street,
I think that does it like at midnight,
whatever that place is called.
I forget it now.
But there's all these places to try.
And everything, Watch out for...
I'm pretty gross also,
but when you're so
nude, it's very easy to
just go right to being gross.
What ends up happening is just making people
like, what the fuck is he talking about
instead of trying to laugh? They're just like, disgusting.
I don't know.
Maybe...
I don't know.
I've heard your comedy material
yeah I know
I know
but what I'm saying is
I'm very dirty
I have a whole hour of poop material
but it's
really hard to
I guess it's hard to do that shit without
it being just...
It has to be funny and gross.
It's really hard to do
those two together. I was going for the
descriptiveness in that.
It sounded like a commentary
for a really disturbing movie or something.
Well, Zach,
you did it, man. Keep doing it. Good job, though. You did it, man.
Keep doing it. Yeah, good job, dude.
Congratulations.
Come back again soon.
That was the first time on stage of Zach Kirby.
He's on Twitter, guys, at Zach Cool.
Z-A-C-H Cool.
So follow him on Twitter, listeners,
and then you can see what he does next.
Maybe he'll do more stand-ups.
He does look like somebody that they
would interview on Forensic Files, though.
Oh, yeah, totally.
Totally. He's got the school
shooter face.
I'm talking about
casting here. I mean, if I was cast
last, I'm saying he should be
in a movie. This is Hollywood.
Where he plays a school shooter. Right. You know what? I'm saying he should be in a movie. It's Hollywood. Where he plays a school shooter.
Right.
You know what?
I'm going to ask you guys a question that I always ask first-time guests.
Was there ever something that you did when you very first started stand-up
that you can't believe you did or that you sort of look back on
and you're like, man, that's sort of embarrassing.
I can't believe I ever said that or did that.
You'd be amazed at the answers that I've gotten.
Oh, I bet, yeah.
It's incredible.
Chris Porter used to do a thing where he'd come out with no shirt
and he didn't even suck his stomach in.
And what was it?
He's like, oh, I'm the letter C because he's so skinny.
Oh, wow.
And he's like, I can't believe I did that.
You know, like just a bunch of crazy things.
I just, I mean, it's hard to learn and not be
shitty you know what I mean so like
you have to start shitty so like I remember
I mean I would just do all sorts
of shit like just sex jokes that were
just cheap you know like I mean I would
do that always I like would
close with that
and you know it just
I can't even think about it now it makes me
fucking feel terrible.
Yeah, me too.
He's talking about my jokes.
No, I guess, yeah, I can think of things,
but it's just painful.
I never had one specific thing that I'm embarrassed.
I'm just kind of embarrassed of the first few years.
Yeah, just all of it.
Yeah.
I love it.
Ron, anything?
Well, I mean,
I used to research everything
that I was going to talk about.
Because I felt like for some reason
if I talked about a joke,
someone was going to be like,
oh, there's a part of that setup
that wasn't true.
All right.
So I'd just wiki everything
that I was going to talk about.
So that was stupid.
And then I did, like I said,
my first set, I did like three, four minutes
on just spelled man boobs.
And then I researched this.
And so I found out that some people
would take women's pantyhose,
cut out the crotch,
and put their head through it,
and put their arms through the legs
as a way to help with man boobs. I was like oh that would be a fun bit
and so I would talk about it and then I take my shirt off and I'd be wearing
that pantyhose. That's hilarious. Yeah it was ahead of its time.
I love I ask if there's anything that you're embarrassed of and you say your best
bit when you first started out.
So awesome.
Let's keep it moving along. Your next comedian goes by the
name of Marcos Martinez.
Marcos Martinez.
Are you coming?
Oh shit. You know what that means?
It's you, Ben. If you miss your spot on Kill Tony, that means You've been
If you miss your spot on Kill Tony
That means you get blacklisted
Fuck yeah
Is that something that happens regularly
Or what the fuck was that
Once every episode or two
Somebody doesn't show up
No no no I mean that
Does that happen regularly
No that's completely original.
Normally the Patriot, the old
Patriot used to go like pew, pew, pew.
Oh, got it. You remixed it.
Why he turned into a Latino
at a donkey show, I'm not exactly sure.
I had a good date last night. I'm sorry.
You had a what? Good date last night.
I apologize. You had a date? Yeah.
With a nine-year-old.
This guy.
You really went on a date last night?
Yeah, man.
Tell us about that.
Did you get a Baja Fresh?
No Taco Bell.
She was very disappointed.
I bet she wasn't when you flew her home.
What'd you do with this chick, Scott?
Time to get real, buddy. You shouldn't have brought up the date
if you didn't want the tough guy.
Oh, man.
I'm kind of poor.
Was it a first date?
Well, no shit, because you dressed up as a patriot.
See what I mean?
It'd be weird if you think that mask off and you were Bill Gates,
is all I'm saying.
Oh, yeah.
She wasn't into the whole going Dutch thing.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Wow, dude.
At some point, she started screaming at me, and I heard this great accent, and I was
like, I have to emulate that.
Wow.
You know?
Get out of here!
Dude, you need your own podcast, man.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
We're going to get you a spinoff, Scott Kidd, whatever it takes.
Thank you.
So you went on a date with a Latina chick, and at the end she screamed at you.
Yes, yes, because of the Taco Bell and because of not going to lunch.
Oh, you really took her to Taco Bell?
Hey, man, I make mistakes.
I'm only half human.
All right, you son of a bitch.
I actually appreciate that.
Thank you for saying that.
I pulled another name out of the bucket.
Hopefully he's here.
Put your hands together for Jared Campbell.
Here.
Here.
Cedar is the center of it all.
Funny.
I used to be really, really good at football.
I played in the NFL for like three weeks.
It was actually really cool.
But they cut me, man.
That was the toughest shit I ever dealt with,
was getting cut.
Like, it was traumatizing.
Because, like, when I got signed,
it was real publicized all along the TV and internet.
Like, I got, like, 400 Facebook notifications.
Like, good job, oh, my God, congratulations.
Don't forget about a stranger.
And when I got cut, it wasn't really publicized,
so nobody knew.
So I'm getting text messages, like, week 10 from girls,
like, good luck on your game today, Jared.
And I'm like, in what, Madden, bitch?
And what's tough is like my brother, I had a brother that was like the star of the team, and I was like trying to make the team.
So when I got cut, my mom didn't really understand how that worked.
She's like, uh-uh, you go back in there, you tell them that I said they can't have one of my boys.
They need to take both of my boys or none of my boys.
You got to be ambitious.
Go tell them they work for free.
We good?
All right.
That was a minute. That's the cap.
But I want to hear the rest of this since you're in one topic.
Keep going.
It's a newer joke, but basically I finish it like I go up there and I go,
well, my mama told me to tell y'all that y'all can't have just one of her sons.
You want both of our boys.
You got to take us. And I'm like, come on, Claire, let's go. I'm about to work
for free. It's a newer joke. Just being honest. Just being honest.
Gotcha.
Well, I love that. Yeah, and that's so true, right? You were at the University of Miami.
You were a Hurricane, if I remember correctly.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Did you?
And then you got picked up by the NFL.
Yes, sir.
Arizona Cardinals.
That's got to be crazy, huh?
That's pretty dope.
And then what happens?
What went wrong?
Yeah, for three weeks.
I got cut.
I made it all the way to the final cut.
So I thought I was going to make the team.
They told me, hey, we need your playbook.
I kept working out for like a year.
Nothing happened.
Moved to LA.
And you always wanted to do stand-up or what?
I started stand-up in college, but I really couldn't do it with football.
Right, of course.
And after I got cut, I wasn't doing shit, so I said.
You've been doing it for a while, though, yeah?
I did it for like, probably like ten times while I was in college.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
He's really confident.
Yeah, you have a good night's sleep.
I've been out here for two years now.
Doing stand-up?
Yeah.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, cool, yeah.
Yeah, you're very engaging.
That's very cool.
And I love that you're talking about real stuff. Nobody else. No, I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, cool, yeah. Yeah, you're very engaging. That's very cool. And I love that you're talking about real stuff.
Nobody else.
No, I mean like.
Yeah, no, I agree.
You're confident.
You're good.
I mean, yeah.
Yeah, nobody else can talk about the stuff that you're talking about.
Yeah, that's true.
With that, for sure.
Yeah, but I also kind of want to hear things outside of football, too.
Like what makes you scared?
That is a great question. You did have a whole minute you could have hit a few topics
I like that question though
what does make you scared
shit
scared of big ass dogs
that's relatable
what else That's relatable What else?
Shit
Scared of heights and shit like that man
On like cliffs and all that good stuff
Imagine a big ass dog on a cliff
Scary
Scary Scary.
Anything else scare you?
This is a great question, Ron,
because it is amazing to hear,
especially after just knowing that he's a former NFL football player.
That's great.
Both things got laughs.
You know what I mean? Both dogs and
cliffs because it's so funny to know
that some guy that can probably run a 4-5-40
is afraid of
a cliff or a dog.
Yeah.
I was real serious with my critiques.
Absolutely.
Fuck yeah.
I love it, man.
So you're out here now to be a comic
yep full time
you doing a lot of spots and stuff
you treating it like football
do you think football helped you with that
work ethic wise yeah
I try to get on like three stages
I stay up late wake up early
keep at it
I like your style Jared
funny stuff fun times.
Jared Campbell, everybody.
He's on Twitter at Jared Kwai.
It's all one word.
Jared, Q-U-A-Y.
Jared's been on a few times.
Always fun, always different.
It's fun.
We've had a couple people that I actually remember,
like Miami Hurricanes Jared and Harvard Sierra Cattell.
She's funny. She's going to Harvard.
She's going to fucking... Yeah, she's good.
She's going to kill in life.
Put your hands together for your next comedian.
It's Jonathan Tumblin.
Oh, I'm sorry. You can't go on twice. No, I'm kidding. I'm sorry.
You can't go on twice.
No, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
One block after another.
Don't be tumbling, everybody.
Restart the clock.
I had to say it.
I'm sorry.
Don't let him shake you up.
No, I know he can shake me, man.
I've been out here in L.A. for a while, man.
I noticed that people come out to L.A.
They think they're going to spot celebrities wherever they go and shit.
And I was in a situation.
I was at the Beverly Center, and these three Asian girls came up to me.
They were like, oh, my God.
Oh, my God, it's you.
And I'm like, who the fuck are you talking about?
They're like, it's you.
You're the guy from Transformers, right?
You're Tyrese.
I'm like, yeah.
Yeah, I'm Tyrese.
And I'm standing there like,
wow, oh my God,
I really want a picture with you.
And I'm like, I'll take the picture
if I can take at least one of y'all
out to dinner.
So I make arrangements.
I'm on my way to get the girls.
I'm trying to think,
where would Tyrese take a girl
where they got good food, drinks,
and nice atmosphere and shit?
So I take the bitch to Chipotle.
I take her to
Chipotle halfway through the date. She's thinking, like,
oh, my God, you can't be Tyrese. Why'd you lie
to me like that? And I'm like, I'm sorry. You know what?
My name's Jonathan. But
I didn't lie to you, bitch. You're just a racist
because all niggas don't look alike.
That's it.
There you go.
Exactly a minute.
It's great that your minute worked out with me being that chick in the beginning
and completely racially stereotyping you.
It happens, man.
Who did she think you were in Transformers, though?
Tyrese.
Just the one black guy.
The lonely black guy. I get mistaken for
every black guy that's doing well in life.
You ever get mistaken
for Ron Funches?
If I gained some pounds.
If I gained some pounds, I might be.
What is...
This really happened? Yeah, this really happened
to me. God, you don't look like Tyrese.
I know, man.
That's why it's extremely racist.
No, it's nothing like Tyrese.
I mean, they got the squint, you know what I'm saying?
Asian girls do, like,
they look for stars hard out here.
In fact, one time, a couple
of them came up to me and thought I was Tyrese.
So, I mean, they'll really rationalize
in their head
what they think they're seeing.
Jonathan, how long have you been doing stand-up?
A year and a half, Tony.
I'm going to steal a great question
from my friend Ron Funches and ask you
what scares you?
Clowns and white women.
No, no.
What scares you?
I'm scared of clowns for real, man.
That's weird
what do you mean
I always wonder when people say that
like what do you mean
I saw it at a very young age
okay but
so you mean like if somebody
like the demonic clown
not like
I'm scared of a demonic clown
it's like the run of the mill
demonic clown
you're gonna add demon
to anything it's scary
scared of Ikea well demonic Ikea running the mill demonic clown. You're going to add demon to anything that's scary.
Scared of Ikea.
Well, demonic Ikea.
So, if you're like,
if you see a guy dressed as a clown,
you'd be like, yo, don't, like,
for real. Don't touch, like, don't get close to me.
Because what do you think is going to happen? It's just an irrational fear of one.
No, I understand that, but
you're irrationally afraid of clowns?
Yeah, man.
I don't know.
Yeah.
No, I just...
Yeah, no, I know it's a common fear.
I just...
Yeah, man, I don't know.
I don't know how to explain it.
How badly I wish I could fucking, like, Uber a clown here right now just to watch you beat
the shit out of him, like watch his red nose fly off across the room.
It would be bad.
Oh, you can't beat a clown's ass, dude.
You'll fucking scar children for life. That's true. Clowns be bad. Oh, you can't beat a clown's ass, dude. You'll fucking scar children for life.
That's true.
I mean, clowns scar children.
Oh, I see.
So anyway, he's thinking about,
he's like a super,
you and Patriot can,
no, he's got electricity on his hands.
Fuck yeah, clowns.
That's an interesting one.
I had an ex,
I have an ex-girlfriend
who's terribly afraid of clowns.
But she's afraid because she had a mean dentist when she was a kid, like a little kid.
And there were pictures of these happy clowns in his office.
Oh, really?
I had the same dentist, and it sort of freaked me out, too.
It didn't last forever.
But it's true.
There is something about, like about in fact, when the clown
is in human form,
I can handle it. If there was a guy
dressed like a clown, it's like, alright, creepy.
Get away from me, but I'm not going to beat
his ass.
The fear of clowns, though, kind of makes me scared. I don't like women
with makeup either. It's like, what are you hiding
from, yo?
I think we're getting to the root of all of this.
I agree with him
with the makeup. Can we talk about your mother
a little bit?
Hold on.
Mom's right here, man.
She's close to me.
Hell yeah.
Jonathan, we found out
a lot about you.
It was fun times.
Always. Keep rocking.
Yes, sir.
I was saying, like, human clowns don't scare me that much.
But, like, a picture, like, if I had to sleep in a bedroom and there was a picture of a clown on the wall,
I'd be up for an extra three hours, like, fucking just staring at the picture.
Why is the microphone near Paige's dick?
No, for real, what is that?
The original Patriot,
he had a $5,000
robot suit.
His microphone, for some reason,
and the positioning of it all was right there
at his crotch.
When we recast New Patriot
in an outfit completely bought off
Amazon Prime for $15,
we decided that one of the only traditions we would
also keep is keeping the speaker
box at the crotch.
I knew I was going to be upset that I asked that.
I love it.
You're doing a great job, Patriot. I'm actually very
surprised. Put your hands together for Scott Kidd, everybody.
He's killing it over there.
So much fun.
I just got to work with this kid
this weekend. He's a favorite here on Kill
Tony, a one-liner specialist.
Put your hands together for Gabriel Killian, everybody.
I want to open up a tattoo parlor that specializes in breast tattoos.
Gonna call it tit for tat.
I grew up pretty broke, man.
Every year I had to pitch in on my own birthday present.
Times got so tough,
I once stole an old lady's purse.
I was disappointed because she barely had a few dollars in it.
But the spinning roundhouse kick
I knocked her out with,
totally fucking worth it.
I've had my ups and downs in life, man.
Mostly downs.
It's been rough, but I can hold my head high
knowing that even during the worst of times,
during my lowest points,
I never, not once, ever forgot about Dre.
Fuck yeah. there it is
respect
I love that
it's almost
you can't tell he's Armenian
until after the set
when he just goes
to the mic and goes
respect
so funny always Gabe
you must have a crazy writing process
because you've done a lot of different minutes
on this show at least five or six times
right? more than that yeah
and usually
most of the jokes kill
when it doesn't end with spinning
roundhouse kick
that was what we call a misdirect
I love
your style though though, Gabe.
Gabe pulled an interesting maneuver this weekend.
I was in San Francisco with Jeffrey Ross.
You guys know what it's like being on the road.
You arrive, you drop off the stuff at the hotel, whatever,
maybe grab something to eat, you go to the show, right?
We arrive at Cobb's Comedy Club and the host is sitting there
the host opener you know what I mean he's sitting in the
green room and then there's Gabe Killian
sitting on the couch
and I'm like Gabe what the fuck's up
he goes what's up you know respect
what's up
and Jeff's like
what's up Gabe how you doing man
and Gabe immediately just goes hey what's up man
can I do a guest spot? Just like that.
To who? To Jeff?
Yeah. But luckily,
Jeff knew Gabe from
doing a spot before the roast
battle on a Tuesday night, another popular
show here, and Gabe had this crazy
Carson moment doing
stand-up before the roast battle a few weeks
ago, where everybody in the room
is like, who the fuck is that guy?
He's just firing off joke after joke like that.
He got to do one of the more probably fun nights in your career, right?
Got to do a couple spots, sold out cops.
Yeah, that's a big room.
That's ballsy, man.
I wouldn't even ask.
I had a spot there the night before,
and I was there the next day,
so I figured why not ask? But that's sort of what's funny about it to me, is Gabe is sort of a nervous...
I mean, you could tell in your cadence, and the more you know him, the more you know he's a very, very nice, polite, and sort of nervous, humble kind of guy.
That's why it was so funny when he just blurted, Jeff Ross is like, hey, what's up, man? Good to see you. And he's just like,
hi, hi, hi. Can I do a guest spot?
I just wanted to
get it before someone else asked him.
No, of course. Well, nobody else ever asks
when you're on the road. Nobody else has the balls
to do that. So I love that you did
that maneuver.
I'd like to hear in the future
if you try that again.
But you knew Jeff. He's seen you, right?
Yeah.
Hey, good on you, man. That was great.
And he did two five-minute guest sets
and killed in front of sold-out crowds.
And he just had another fun set here.
Thank you, Gabriel Killian.
The killer,
Gabe Killian. He's on Twitter
at Gabriel Killian.
All one word.
Oh, yeah, Jonathan Tumblin is jshurlockt.
Oh, there you go.
Fuck yeah.
All right.
jshurlockt and Jared Quay was Jared Campbell.
Jared Q-U-A-Y.
Okay, sure.
Who cares about the enunciation?
You don't enunciate shit on Twitter yet.
Yeah.
And Gabe is at Gabriel Killian.
And we're rolling along.
Here we go.
We're getting a lot of people up.
This is fun.
Your next comedian goes by the name of Jordan Perry.
Oh, shit.
You know what that means.
Jordan Perry.
Don't let him go, Chris.
I fucking hate that shit.
How do you rationalize that one?
I know an Asian chick didn't let you go on a date with her.
You can't do your own awe.
I can?
No, that's not how awes work.
They do it in the south.
I got stood up.
Awe.
Done deal.
You especially can't
do your own awe
if there's an actual
audience here.
It's up to the audience.
All right.
Let's hope this next
person's here.
Put your hands together for Cal Verducci
Oh shit, you know what that means
Oh for fuck's sake
Oh my god
I fucking hate that
I'm so sorry podcast listeners
that you have to go through this
People kill for these spots It's so funny Sorry, podcast listeners, that you have to go through this.
People kill for these spots.
It's so funny.
I had a few comedians come up to me earlier, and they're like, hey, can you get me on Kill Tony?
And I'm like, it's a bucket.
No. It's an actual.
This guy's writing down fake names so he can do that fucking shit.
You son of a bitch.
Verducci is the name I would write.
Fake, you know?
That does sound fake.
Yeah.
Cal Verducci. Like, that's the. Fake, you know? That does sound fake. Yeah. Cal Verducci.
Like, that's the whitest first name with the most Italian last name.
Let's try it again.
Michael Gaudi.
Here he comes.
Another Dodger.
Okay.
I'm going to keep it real.
I've been doing LA Open Mics for almost four years,
and it's mostly just five guys just jerking off to internet porn
while sharing headphones.
So 40 people plus fucking Chris D'Elia,
I am nervous out of my fucking mind.
But we'll get through this.
I will get through this, I hope.
I was born in Florida.
I was raised mostly in Georgia the first 13 years of my life.
We had a lot of woods in our backyard.
When I would go out, my mom would say,
where are my clothes because the drunk hunters might mistake you for game.
I've been moderately to severely drunk up here, and I can tell you guys, you've never looked like a room
full of deer to me. My dad called me the other day and said, your cousin's having pancreas
surgery because alcoholism, of course, runs in our family.
And can you believe he drank that much?
And I'm like, yes,
because I've seen his wife.
I would be in a state of near unconsciousness every fucking day of my life.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
I love it.
Michael Gowdy.
Thank you for dressing up in your cum shorts.
I never wash my pants.
Oh my god.
Your cum shorts.
It's from LA Open Mic.
I've never even heard the terminology
cum shorts before,
but that's exactly
what those are.
That's food stains, god damn it.
That's food stains.
For you listeners,
it's a bathing suit
that rides up to us.
That rides above his knees
and has
what appears to be white stains on there.
Even if it's not cum, when you put those on, you've got to be like, I can't wear these
because it looks like there's cum on them.
This guy was just like, fuck it, and put them on.
Nobody's going to believe you when you go, no, no, it's not actual cum.
All right, well, then lay off the Cinnabon, you know what I mean?
Whatever icing is going on there.
Stop feeding your penis food.
Especially powdered donuts.
I was going to thank you for putting out these podcasts, but fuck that shit.
Oh, I love your style, Michael.
Thank you, Jonah, thank you.
What I really love is that you didn't really start until 30 seconds
in. You were talking about how
nervous you were and what other open mics
were like. Because this guy's a fucking legend.
Am I right? No, you're not right.
You are not right.
But, I appreciate the compliment,
but you are not right, number one. And number two,
it was,
it made me be on his side when he said that.
Oh yeah, totally.
I love it
Michael, how long have you been doing stand-up?
Almost four years, Tony
Two months, it'll be four years
Oh, that's awesome
Okay, and how much do you get up?
How often do you get up?
About three times a week on average
All right, well that's
That's so cool
Do you wear swimming trunks every time?
Or yeah, I just have two pairs of shorts, believe it or not.
You have two pairs of shorts?
Yes.
No pants.
You don't wear pants?
Very rarely.
Well, if it's real cold, you wear pants.
Yes.
I'd hate to see the pair of shorts you don't wear to the comedy scene.
Those actually have shit and blood on them too
I'm going to the comedy store
I'm going to wear my good shorts
Shitty or cummy?
Let's go with cummy
You can't smell I'm going to be in front of Chris D'Elia tonight Let's go with Cummy I'm going to be in front of Chris
D'Elia tonight let's go with Cummy
oh my god
I love it
one of the
kill Tony trademarks is that we always
tell people to not wear shorts on stage,
but I think we're going to stick with
you keep rocking those shorts, Michael.
It won't be washed in a week.
I love it. You could be the come short comedian.
Your last bit, I don't remember anymore,
but it was good.
The uncle that drinks because of it.
Yeah, it was real personal.
You were like, oh, you know he hates that lady.
Yeah, it was pretty harsh.
Yeah, I liked it.
Are you from LA?
No, I lived in Georgia for 13 years
and moved to Detroit, Michigan.
Two Midwesterners over here.
Screw blue.
I mean, you know and i
mean i'm just i'm just floating this out there is that what i the direction i thought you were
going in which i thought would have been funnier than comparing it to the room and you could take
this or leave it or whatever but i thought you were saying that when your mom told you that
people might confuse you for game that you were going going to talk about how that's not a confidence builder to hear when you're a kid, that your mom thinks that you...
In your own words and whatever, I think that's an interesting route to take. It's hard to
not turn out to be the come-shorts guy when your mom thought that you were a... Your mom
thought you could be confused for an elk or something like that.
There was a lot of disrespect when I was a kid.
I could definitely go that route.
Hell yeah.
What else do you do for fun?
Besides comment?
Yeah, I was going to think you guys were going to say masturbate or something.
Yeah, what do you do for fun?
I do collect autographs around L.A., you know, and I try to sell things on eBay, that kind of shit.
So you find
joy in that, or what?
No, I'm not trying to be funny. I'm being serious.
Do you like collecting?
Is that what?
Yeah, I collect autographs. I collect baseball and sports cards.
That makes sense,
because your shorts look like they were signed by the
Stay Puft Marshmallow.
What's your most famous autograph?
The one I'm most proud of is I bought recently, like two weeks ago.
It's Wayne Gretzky's signed jersey.
Oh, wow.
That's cool.
That's a good one, yeah.
Is there still money in baseball cards, though, nowadays?
Is that still a thing?
Yeah, definitely.
I think the autograph market
is booming more than ever, I think.
You look surprised, yeah, because
everyone wants a selfie, but the autographs are selling
for major bucks now.
Would you just say because
everyone wants a selfie? Is that what you said?
Yeah, because when you meet a celebrity like you,
you just, ooh, I'm going to take a selfie.
You know what I'm saying. They don't care about the autograph.
Yeah, it's interesting. That whole game changed.
Yeah.
Huh.
Well, fuck yeah, Michael.
I love your style.
Good job.
That's Michael Gowdy, everybody.
Michael P. Gowdy.
G-O-W-D-Y.
Michael was fun, right?
He was fun.
How you doing, Ron?
You having fun?
I'm having a good time.
I love your style.
I could listen to your voice all fucking day
I wish everybody that I talked to
had like a headset
or whatever
and it came out in your voice
whatever they said
I would just have a smile all the time
I don't like that at all
even that was cute
totally
adorable you know what's interesting to see different comedians like this like that at all. Even that was cute. Totally. Adorable.
You know what's interesting, actually, to see is, like,
different comedians like this, that
how you feel about them immediately when they step on stage
before they even say anything. Right?
Yeah.
I don't do that when I'm at a show, watching guys.
I just, you know, because I know they're professionals,
maybe, but it's interesting,
like, the feeling you get from certain people.
When you're like, oh, I feel confident
in you. Or you're like, oh,
I'm really scared for you right now.
Exactly. Yeah.
For real, though.
Or, oh, I gotta wash my shorts sometimes.
Yeah.
I bet Michael never wears those again.
Good. He's like, he's in the back.
I already took them off.
He's just in his tighty-whities right now.
Oh, we love this young lady.
Put your hands together for Klee Wiggins,
everybody.
Klee!
Oh, we don't
love her anymore!
Oh, thank
God.
He's so upset.
He's so upset. He's so upset.
Even behind the mask.
I was reading my Star Wars book in the corner as usual.
Not paying attention to the show.
Yeah.
Let's see.
So I moved in with my boyfriend about a year ago.
And in that year, we've had the cops called on us like four times by our neighbors.
Because we get in a lot of...
Okay, so I don't know if you can tell by looking, but I'm a nerd.
My boyfriend's a nerd.
He's a black nerd.
And we get in fights about the nerdiest things, but we still argue like two black people.
So it's a lot of motherfuckers and niggas.
But what we're arguing about is like how to best reboot Buck Rogers.
Or why Batman can't be out in the daytime and that's why the Dark Knight sucks.
But our white neighbors are not appreciative of this.
And the cops come and they say to me like, ma'am, are you okay?
And I go, you know what this motherfucker had the nerve to tell me?
He said if he reboot Buck Rogers,
Twinkie would be an unnecessary character.
Who the fuck is going to carry Dr. Theopolis
if you don't have Twinkie? That is some bullshit.
It's funny to say it like that. The third time,
the cops are no longer coming back because they don't care about
our bullshit arguments.
Boom.
Lee Wiggins.
Black nerd.
You did that same bit last time you were on stage, right?
Did I?
I don't know.
I had a stroke last year.
I can't remember shit.
I think so because I remember,
because I don't know what Buck Rogers is.
And I remember that being my note.
Yeah, no, I still, since the last time you were on,
I haven't gone back and watched or listened to
or read whatever Buck Rogers is.
I'm not even sure what it is.
It's a comic book and a TV show from the 80s.
Twinkie was like the twink of Buck Rogers.
He was a gay robot
and she's pretty much.
Is that true?
Is that where that term comes from?
I think so.
I did it on the first time I came.
Twink to me was always a gay robot.
Twinkie was his name, not Twinkie.
Did I do it the last time?
I thought I did a different one, but maybe I did that one.
I don't remember.
I honestly don't.
It's pretty funny.
I think like what we said last time,
it is funny having the police come over about getting in a fight
and then the fight is just comic book nerd stuff.
And they don't care.
Maybe the references you are using for some of the people who have no idea,
like Tony, who Buck Rogers is,
and you could also maybe just update it a little to, I don't know, Star Wars.
Is that true that Batman doesn't go out during the day?
Well, according to Ed, Batman should not be seen in the daytime.
Therefore, that's why
the Christopher Nolan movies suck
because he goes
that's common sense
that is interesting
yeah
well
yeah
he really doesn't
Ed and Ron
yeah
I think he makes sense
wait why does that suck
I don't get it
because
he's the Dark Knight
so him fighting Bane
at 2pm in the afternoon
is somehow
it just doesn't feel right no it's wrong it's all wrong you agree with that yeah because 2 p.m. in the afternoon is somehow... It just doesn't feel right.
It's wrong. It's all wrong. You agree with that?
Yeah, because he's supposed to be in the shadows.
Yeah, but there's shadows in the daytime. There's more shadows.
Well, touche.
Great fucking point.
But I agree. I mean, I like
the Gershwin-Nolan. I don't like the first one, but I like the Grewsbury Nolan I don't like
the first one
but I like the
second two
and he hates
all of them
this turned into
like that was
actually our
first argument
was about Batman
this turned into
like a fist fight
almost
what if Batman
fucking
what if there's
crime going on
in the daytime
Batman's like
oh I can't go out
Spider-Man's job
right right
oh no
more Superman
I agree with him
I think I mean
you should shorten it up a little bit.
And maybe not because you're explaining the description first and then giving an example.
But maybe I would just give an example.
And then I would also have it be a little bit more.
Yeah, because I mean, I'm a nerd and the Buck Rogers thing doesn't work for me either.
Really?
Because I don't really know who Buck Rogers is, but I knew what she was getting at.
So I don't know if the reference
really matters. That's sort of my point
about continuing, I guess. Because I think
now that I recall,
I don't listen to the show, and I'm sorry, Tony.
All about social.
I do recall now
I think I did it when Bobby Lee was here.
And I think I kept the
reference because it's not about the reference.
It's about like,
it's a stupid nerdy argument.
Yeah, exactly.
And like, you know,
even like, again,
it's part of the point is like,
the cops don't even know
what the fuck we're talking about.
Right.
But it's just like,
motherfucker,
how the fuck are you going to tell me
Twinkie's unnecessary?
Right.
Yeah.
And this happened the other day
when we got an argument.
Like, I mean,
it happens all the time.
Just while we have a whatever.
Maybe take it to the next level and just get
crazy geeky about it so even you're
kind of proving the point that it's what you're talking about.
The longer version of that bit
goes into the
many
arguments.
His whole... He gets mad
at me. He got mad at me about
we went to see Guardians of the Galaxy
I'm that person I tend to go pee like right at the beginning
of a movie and then we got in a huge
fight about that it turned into a
stupid
these do sound like real issues
yeah it doesn't diminish our love
but yeah you really are a nerd
too right like you own that
oh yeah I'm a sci-fi nerd what I love is that you are always are a nerd too right like you own that oh yeah yeah i'm a sci-fi what i love
is that you are always reading a star wars book that's always like your opening line and i know
that it's true because i've seen you with different star wars books and i think there's something
really funny in that like how a lot of nerds get stereotyped if you're if you watch Star Wars a lot but if you read Star Wars a lot that's
like the fucking trifecta
of nerddom. Yeah.
Like yeah. Somebody was just asking me downstairs
like what they what I thought
about a certain like Star Wars
book. I was like oh that one actually is not that good
but if you go to the second two if you can power
through book 11 of the Legacy of the
Force then books 12 and 13 are awesome.
This is the part where I
kick you out for being such a nerd.
The natural bully
in me has to let you go after dropping
book 11.
Klee, I love you so much.
I love you too, Tony.
We did it again
with Klee. This is the part of the show
where we bring on our two regulars.
These two girls do a new minute each week since the show started.
So it's always fun to see what they're going to do different and new.
And it's always a blast.
So let's get it going.
Your first one tonight is a college dropout.
She was going to the University of Florida.
She only had a few semesters left.
But then she came on Kill Tony for the first time, and she decided to stay in L.A.
Respect.
And her stand-up career started here a little over a year ago. She's here for you right
now with another new minute. It's Kimberly Kong.
So take it and check yourself before you wreck yourself. Big dicks in your ass is bad for your hip. What's up, guys?
How are you?
I am in a long-distance relationship.
I don't know if anybody has ever been in one of those,
but they're super difficult.
They're really hard.
It's really hard because I live in California,
and my boyfriend lives all the way in my imagination.
So it's, like like not a real thing.
Um, I can't, I don't think I can be in a relationship cause I'm a comedian. It's really hard. So I got online the other day and I almost bought a vibrator on Groupon. But, um, my mom
always says that you get what you pay for. So I didn't want to get half off for half off.
It was really sad, though, because I got on eBay.
And I started bidding on a vibrator.
I was like, let's give this a try.
And there's no more pathetic feeling than being outbid by a fake penis.
Like, I just can't even buy a used fake one online.
The universe won't give me that.
It's weird when girls fight over men, too,
you know, because there's so many dicks
in the...
She's been here before.
Yeah.
I love that.
I love that half-off, half-off.
You shouldn't use Groupon, though.
It's true.
There was vibrators half-off on Groupon last week.
I missed it.
That's probably better.
It's perfect.
It's part of the setup anyway, the Groupon part and the half-off.
And then the bit for the dildo, that just sounds so
real and funny
and depressing. It's so sad.
That is true. I was once selling the dildo,
so I know that's true.
Fuck yeah. And then what
were you talking about there at the end? You were going to
finish that. There's so many girls. Oh, well, I just started
this whole new bit about, I don't understand
why women fight over men
because there's just, like, so many dicks. Like, I
could fit a dick into every crevice and there's still, like,
40 dicks in the comedy store
tonight. You know, like, there's so many dicks
in the world, no one should ever fight over one
because chances are it's not going to be that great.
Sorry. Okay, bye.
You should run for the president of women.
I love that.
I like that platform.
There's enough dicks for everybody.
And more.
There's a dick, there's a dick, there's a dick.
I'd like your vote at the polls November 14th.
When I was working on that, I was looking up how many men there are.
I wanted percentages of dicks.
So I was getting really into that one.
It was too much for tonight.
Did you end up at a pie chart of dicks at one point?
I was splitting them up into nationalities.
Wow.
There's enough for everybody.
And more.
Indian dicks, Asian dicks,
white dicks, black dicks.
We all come together.
A world of fat. I can really rally behind this. Asian dicks, white dicks, black dicks. We all come together.
A world of fads.
I can really rally behind this.
Isn't there more women than guys in the population?
Yeah, I think so.
At the University of Florida there is.
Whoa.
There's like six girls to every guy.
That's where the dick fights. That's where that's where.
Not enough dicks. Never mind.
That's so great.
Again, for some weird reason,
I'm going to steal my favorite question that I've ever heard asked on this show.
And since I've never asked you this,
I'm going to do it.
What scares you, Kim?
What scares me? I'm going to call it from now on, by the way, every episode, I'm going to do it. What scares you, Kim? What scares me?
I'm going to call it from now on, by the way, every episode,
I'm going to use this, Ron, and I'm going to call it the Funches question.
Cool.
I'm really scared of the dark.
Like being by myself in the dark.
Also the comedy story a little bit.
So those two.
Yeah, you keep coming back.
I keep coming.
I don't know what it is.
That's what the scary part is.
I can't stop. So back. I keep coming. I don't know what it is. That's what the scary part is. I can't stop.
So creepy.
Okay, well.
That's how it is.
I'm done.
Yeah, that's fun stuff.
I like your style, Kim.
Anything else for Kim, guys?
That's funny.
Thank you.
You're good at comedy. Keep it up.
Kimberly Congdon is at Kimberly Congdon
on Twitter.
She did Roast Battle here, a live show
that takes place here on Tuesdays
and annihilated a couple weeks ago.
That was fun to watch.
You're a final comedian of the night
and the other regular here on Kill Tony
is a regular
here, obviously, and also on the
Dysentery podcast.
Very, very, very, very, very funny
young lady. Put your hands together for Sarah
Wineshank, everybody.
What's up?
I'm scared of
dying. That's why I think
I fixate on the little things. That's why I think I fixate on the little things.
It's how I cope.
Because you never know.
You know?
Like these...
I will think about dying if I'm not obsessing about something small.
For example, the goat cheese medallions in my fridge.
Is that the closest I will ever get to receiving a blue ribbon?
Maybe.
When I was eating an artichoke, I wondered,
is this the closest I will ever be to becoming a cardiologist?
It's a thinker.
It's a thinker.
It's a thinker. Really?
Why has everyone just ignored the fact
that 50 Cent wrote a song about his dick
in which he called it his magic stick?
Remember that?
It needs to be addressed.
My favorite punchline of the night.
Remember that?
Remember that.
It's good.
Album title.
I love it.
Those are funny.
The medallion one.
Am I right?
The goat cheese comes in that white tin foil with the blue.
It's like a little circle.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
Yeah. Gotcha. Gotcha. That's like a little circle. Yeah.
Gotcha.
That is a goat cheese medallion.
Yeah.
What do you use those for? What do you do with that?
It just depends on the mood.
Snack. Yeah, like sometimes I'll put it on a cracker, a gluten-free
cracker. Sometimes I'll put it, you know,
upon pasta, a top
pasta, not upon. A top pasta, not upon.
A pun
was way more fun. I like that.
Put it upon pasta.
I know. I should have just stayed in the pocket.
Fuck you guys. Say what you
want. Have it with some strawberries.
Oh, that's good.
Oh,
Tony. That's good.
Cheese and strawberries?
Together, like that? Not in the same bite. Oh, Tony. That's good. Cheese and strawberries? Well, yeah.
Together like that?
Yeah, yeah.
Not in the same bite.
You do one.
Yeah, no, it's an amazing clash.
It really is.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
I would never think of that.
Yeah, the two things dance in your mouth.
No, they really do.
In fact, it reminds me of the amazing cooking of Elise Lane.
What?
Available.
The girl with the pan on Facebook and Instagram.
Yes.
Did you get to try any of Elise's food today, Sarah?
No, I think I missed this.
But shout out to Elise.
Keeping it real.
You have a good, you have like a solid voice.
That's what I like about you.
It was also good that you talk about
like right from Jump
like we got a sense
of what
who you are
and what you're about
just that you're scared
to death
like that's kind of
an interesting way
to open up a set
you know
so I felt like
because I feel that way too
you know
I think about it
all the time
but that's obvious
the way you say it
and when you
and when you say that
we feel that
you feel that way you know what I mean like it's not it doesn't sound like you're doing an act when you say that, we feel that you feel that way.
You know what I mean?
Like, it doesn't sound like you're doing an act, which is cool, which is, I think, what you're saying, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's when you have, like, I mean, that's what a lot of people struggle for a long time to get is their own personal rhythm.
And you seem to already be well on your way to doing that.
So it was very interesting.
Thank you.
I love that you opened up with the
funches question which is what scares you
yeah because I've been
thinking about that lately
she fucking beat you to it
oh
you just beat everything
beat the game
what was my next question going to be
oh is there a specific
way of dying that you're more afraid of than others?
Is there something that you always think you have or that you're extra paranoid about?
No, I just want to – just the mystery of it.
Or, like, how's it going to be?
What's going to happen?
But then it's like there's no point in worrying about it.
Right.
But also, like, that also – because, like, it's going to happen.
It also propels me forward. It's like, fuck it. I've got to go do my because like it's going to happen it also propels me forward
it's like fuck it.
I got to go do my minute.
I got to
you know like
fuck it.
Totally.
This could be my last minute
you never know.
So it's like
it like propels me forward
but it also like
psychs me out sometimes.
You know?
I'm serious.
Dying is going to be amazing.
We don't have anyone
that has ever been able
to tell us. It's going to be the. We don't have anyone that has ever been able to tell us.
It's going to be the greatest thing ever.
Bunch of pussy everywhere.
Ghost pussies.
Talk about
cum shorts.
That's all it is, is cum shorts.
I'm sure.
