You should have tried to kid So you live here now Aaron? I live here Brooklyn Heights. We should get we should exchange addresses not numbers So you of course you were like you were the biggest comedian in

Australia before you came here it Not the biggest but one year I did do the most Sales at Melbourne Comedy Fest really yeah, and you you also were saying before the show you you go to Hannah Gatsby's Taylor to We get the same suits.

What a beautiful night was kind of a stand-up afterwards

Yeah, yeah, I had my cousins that live in Sydney. I hadn't met them and they came to the show Yes, and Nick says, you know some really good stuff about the Holocaust and it was today They didn't like it said nice to meet you afterwards They know about the pod No, they were they did not came in but they were like they said your boy was popping off. Yeah, he was he was go offseason on the Holocaust It wasn't always a Jay friendly podcast. I believe it always was I think there was always a love That was under it was kind of like South Park. Yeah, the way it Cartman talks to Kyle and you know Cartman talks to Kyle and you know where it caught you know secretly he he respects Jewish people and yeah every single one Cartman's funded by

community is really that would be a great episode if he met Netanyahu and he started respecting Jews if Cartman was like, how about Cartman Yahoo? Oh, that would be good. How would that go? I, you respect my authority Gaza. Okay. Let's cut that. Let's cut that. Yeah. When, when we were in Melbourne, no, that's all staying in dude. This has to, we're running, we were going to stop the recorder rides at one hour. Exactly. On the dot. And we used to do that with come town. We were gonna stop the recorder at one hour exactly, on the dot. We used to do that with Comtown. We literally put a timer and mid-sentence

we'd stop the recorder. It was the laziest job in the world. It's good, it's efficient. Yeah, and it was, I don't know. It forces you to be better in that hour. It was magic. It was just, the rest is history. No, yeah, in Melbourne everyone was like, yeah, good luck over there

It's like the woke city and at that time we were like the cheeky white boy podcast We were like a little bit it was before you know Skank fest before skank fest before we Shane, you know, yeah, yeah, she hosted SNL Yeah, now white boys are back up. But like at that time it was really maybe Compton will host Trump elected for the second time yeah come down host SNL it'd be so funny if they've never had three hoes if they both come town as the host of SNL is and they just have Nick and stuff I'm like watching it on. I'm like what the fuck dude you could go on weekend. They tell me yeah I'm just seeing it at home my dad I get a call from my dad

He's like yelling at me. I'm like, I didn't know He would want you to say what the fuck. Yeah No, yeah, but they're like good-looking Melbourne. It's like the woke city And so I was on stage and I just incoherent Australian, la la la la. And I said, I was like, I was like, shut up, dude. You'll never be on Comtown. Huge ovation, right?

And then I got home. This is a heckler. Some heckler, right? I got home in Melbourne. Yeah. Yeah. And back to the hotel. And then it was like, I saw on like Twitter, like good on Adam for shutting down those racists tonight at the Melbourne show but I didn't realize

that they were shouting out like terrible slurs apparently oh really like it was incoherent to me so I accidentally was that's a I accidentally became a hero it was like it was very like I didn't I guess now I'm saying it but it was not on purpose but had I guess now I'm saying it but it was not on purpose But had I known what they were saying, I would have also I don't know if I would say you'll never be on come down Yeah, I know that's the right Just like yeah, you see like I like someone being racially abusing someone on the street So you'll never be on come down brother. This is

Is not our value something he's listening away too many podcasts it's a it's a it's a it's kind of a high-minded kind of satire you don't understand you're taking it too far did Comtown have like a charter like ethics mission statement that we never talked to the press seriously yeah we're like we've we regret we rejected every interviewer like the New York Times has a step like three times Yeah, but those policy that was an exploit. Well, it was always on like the dirt bag They always make it seem like it's like we want to profile this cool thing that you're doing and then like the third paragraph is but But they're fucking gay

Like yeah, it was like whatever so that was pretty smart at the time But now I'm I'm open to any press inquiry if anyone's watching at this point. Yeah. Yeah You might go to Australia You up with Australian press unlike what the morning zoo radio There's one called the project which is right in between comedy and the news They'll love to like the Daily Show It's it's it's like a news show. It's genuinely the news, but they got three comedians on the panel So it's like they're saying oh

Maybe jokes about Gaza. Yeah. Yeah seems a little bit in bad taste So they're making jokes about Gaza. Yeah. Yeah seems a little bit in bad taste I don't know that's that's what some people think. I don't know. Do you guys have like drive time radio? Do you have like wacky we got everything? Yeah, we got your like yeah Pete in the retard We got one called fitzy and whipper what that's out that's our guys your promise oh no Yeah, but it's yeah promise the with us What you guys are kind of I've always felt like in my mind I said that you guys are like the America to New Zealand's Canada Yeah, that's like they're like doing the hacker in like in the way they in Canada. They do the land acknowledgement

Yeah, we we did the land acknowledgement now as well a lot of in the yeah, we copy that's so cowardly we You're trying to be like the heavens. We're trying to be like you but you don't have a dance We don't we not not a unifying one. No, we get taught dances, but they're to like Tina Turner songs and stuff Yeah, we had square dancing in gym class and yeah great is that a key breaky heart? Do you remember that song?

So you guys do the land acknowledgement now What do you what are you saying in an Australian land acknowledgement? We we acknowledge like the traditional owners that type of thing. It's kind of rude Yeah, yeah, go on. It's kind of rude. Yeah, yeah, go on. It's like we beat you. We just wanna admit that, we just like wanna,

out of respect for the losers, we just wanna admit that we won. I don't know the answer now. They're not gonna give it back to the indigenous. I don't think they will, yeah. It's kind of a little bit like- It's not looking like that. Yeah, it's like, like no we're here this is ours now last time I checked they're actually building more yeah it's still

ours the Hong Kong mainland boys yeah yeah trying is getting Hong Kong are there are? Oh, they got it, they got it. They got it, yeah. They're gonna secure Taiwan next, like that's the last. Yeah. That's the last frontier. I'm not paying attention. But I kinda have to start paying attention before our pivot.

We've said for a long time that we're gonna go CCP. You're gonna go CCP? You have to predict with the winners, you know? Well, I go CCP, will you go Russia or Ukraine Russia? They don't shit.

I like the CCP. TikTok should not be banned, you know, no, I mean like You have to say that for your wife now. Yeah life is better from tick-tock I mean, it depends on what your algorithm is. I don't like tick-tock. I don't have tick-tock I do Instagram reels, but all my algorithm is like people like mispronouncing things Like yet. I do YouTube shorts. That's like the most right wing one. Is it?

I think so. Who's on it? Mine are always like Shane Gillis epics. Like, it's just like him on Matt, like a clip from them on the show. I get Shane sometimes. I get a lot of Shane. Shane's on there.

Yeah. Shane's on Rogan sometimes, you know? Stuff like that. How do you book that? How do you book that? Joe Rogan? Yeah, do you know? think you got to get get to the guy himself How do you get there? Yeah, maybe you should move to Austin do the mics for a little while I? Gotta start all over again. It's just waiting for kill Tony in an alleyway

That's your name down in kill Tony when I open when guys open for me on the road They're like that's the plan for them Yeah, they're like I had a they're like if you get it I didn't even know what the system was if you get it then you get a golden ticket and then you get the secret Show he's won or you get the other mic. That's like a less than the golden ticket Yeah, and then they go back to like denver and they're like, what's the golden ticket? You get like two minutes. There's like another show with the mothership at like 4 a.m And it's filled with like, I don't know just elon musk or something

And it's just like free speech and stuff They've invented a program to say I don't know what happens in austin. I don't want to know Yeah, you know because but it doesn't sound good. You ever done the mothership I wouldn't if they even asked I wouldn't want to know yeah, you know because it but it doesn't sound good. You ever done the mothership I Wouldn't if they even asked I wouldn't do it because of what they Yeah What they did? Yeah the freeze the free speed It would have been so funny if Tony Hinchcliffe lost Trump the election Yeah, it didn't happen, but it would have been just the best thing ever. It'd be crazy. Because the way he won the first time was do you

know about the Anthony Weiner? No. So yeah, Anthony Weiner was this... I know Maddie Weiner. Similar. He was this congressman who kept getting caught sending his penis in DMs. Yeah. And he got caught for like the fourth time right before the election. And I guess as a result of his wife, his wife worked for Hillary Clinton. And as a result of that, the FBI reopened the Hillary Clinton email investigation

10 days before the election. So literally like a man's penis, like, it kind of shifted the course of history. That's crazy. But if that culminated in Tony Hinchcliffe undoing that, it would have been kind of perfect. But unfortunately, you know, he's back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was one of the biggest victims of this whole thing of this whole thing. How so?

I'm not gonna get on kill Tony. No, I would love to be on the mothership. I would I would I would Joe Rogan It would be an honor if you ever say anything about illegals It would be an honor if you ever say anything about illegals cutting the penises off the kids I'll just I'm gonna nod and smile and I'll be like Omaha funny bone This weekend, that's right Joe Favorite city in Australia. Hmm. I Mean I thought you know, they're nice. I mean you like you'll go back. I mean if I'm getting paid baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's so fucking far. It's a big flight. It's so far. 22 hours. It's

horrible. Yeah. It's really just like in your body feels terrible for a week after when you're back. Yeah. We went to Japan before. Did you? With me and Nick and Sav and my ex-girlfriend. No, before the Australia tour to get our circadian rhythms. Yeah. It was my stroke of genius. And then, but like after we got back, I was just, we were like texting each other at like 4 a.m. being like I just like I'm not tired yet

Like yeah, you're just fucked up. How do you deal with it? This is great podcast talk How do you deal with the jet lag Aaron? I? Like it I think this will be a real will do a real here is nice Or one way is like really nice like you don't feel it at all. I think Australia going back to Australia. It's good Yeah, you're the good there, but you come back and you're destroyed. I don't know you you have to be disciplined So Michael is our social media guy. I want you to clip that but Like some of that music that like Andrew Tate style videos are on about About like my says and mindset. Yeah. Yeah, how do you deal with the gym?

Andrew Tate would Say what you want, but he'd be good at dealing with jet lag. I imagine Ranked every well, I feel like he's only like only awake at night or something. I feel he's a little fan He was in Transylvania or something. He doesn't he just never dealt with the jet lag Have you ever like watched Andrew Tate stuff? No, no, no, no, cuz typically You'll find yourself agreeing with 95 or yeah to 98% of top top G. I know that oh, I don't know that part Yeah, maybe I'll watch You gotta get to that. No, I don't understand. I mean, I think that there's like

There was a guy Tucker Max You gotta get to that. No, I don't understand. I mean, I think that there's like, there was a guy, Tucker Max, who I think was like kind of the progenitor of all that, Andrew Tate stuff. He was the OG. He used to read like a, he used to write a blog that like when I was in middle school and high school, we'd read about how fucked up he got and how much pussy he got.

Do you remember him? Yeah, that guy is Zero Hedge. I didn't know zero hedge. What was Tucker Max's book called? But I just, it's a, it literally is for 11 year old boys. Yeah. It's sowing the seeds so they'll grow into it's like dreaming of like I'm gonna be James Bond. I Hope they serve beer in hell as Yeah, so I used to read that when I was 13 and I thought that did you really well it was books Yeah, I thought it was smart. It's like a bit an adult to react writing it Was that out when you were 13 you would have maybe like yeah middle school early high school. That's crazy that you knew that stuff. I didn't know anything

I when we were in middle school we used to say whore like The most misogynistic you ever are is like in sixth grade before you've even touched a girl We'd say stuff like I would fuck that bitch in the ass We say but you're so scared. I'd never even kissed. Yeah. I'd say about a net. But also, I didn't even have a single pub.

And that girl was a head and shoulders taller than me. I'd be like, I'd fuck that bitch in the ass. Like, in retrospect, pretty cool. Pretty pimp. You've leveled out since then. You've finished puberty, your hormones. Yeah, yeah. I hit it about 29 to 32.

I had microsperm. What are you at now? My voice broke. What age are you on? 37. 37. That's nice. That's a good age. You think so?

I'm excited to be 40 What oh cuz that's when the goats get like yeah big and call that's when you start that's what? Start I hope to get past at the cellar by the time I'm 45. I just hope to get a golden ticket to the mothership 55 year olds like waiting for the, putting their names in the bucket at Kill Tony. That's really sad. I kind of, did you, you had mics and stuff in Australia? We started to have mics like four years into me doing comedy. But like, the thing that we would do is like we had like open mic competitions. So I would enter all these different competitions. They'd have a regular-

Just comedy or acoustic guitar and stuff? Just comedy, but it was kind of a scam. Not a scam, but at the first half, they'd have a pro show and then an open mic competition where everyone would bring their friends to vote. Yeah, that kind of thing. Yeah, I know like I guess like back you know Stav and Nick and I were all at open mics like years ago and the

just the the school shooters that you meet that have like stuff honestly it has saved lives there are like there are lone wolf active shooters that like found open mic comedy yeah and we're like a kind of trying to do Louie at the time where they were like my body sucks and you know like who do you think is the best comic that was on track to be a school shooter but now they're successful I wonder if those guys are making no I Shane No, I mean, I don't know yeah who would have been a school shooter I Don't know Amy Schumer. Yeah, there was a girl shooter yesterday really yeah first one. Yeah

What's gone crazy? I'm not even good. Yeah, but when I see stuff like that. I'm like I'm not gonna say anything I'm like, I'm not gonna say anything. That's crazy. That is nuts. I didn't know that. It's bizarre that it's like everyone on the internet now, like, I don't know, we have careers. So we have to like be posting stuff.

And it's like kind of humiliating still. But like people are like everyone else, most 99.9% of the people are doing that for $0. They post for free. They're yelling at the president all day for $0. Yeah. It's bizarre. And they have to make a statement.

When there's a girl shooter, they have to be, they have to, they're like the press secretary for Aaron Chan or like for themselves. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's bizarre at this point. Yeah, it's kind of brand world, that type of themselves. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's bizarre at this point. Yeah, it's kind of kind of brand world that type of thing Yeah, I'm I I yell at Peter Dutton. That's who I yell at. That's good Yeah, that was the Prime Minister was when we were there at the time. I think so

Not, definitely not. You couldn't call him identity style, but... He would be in Bushwick doing like, like, new clown?
