This was hilarious.
The last two episodes, so funny.
Here's a brand new episode of Kill Tony. Tony Hinchcliffe. Hi, everybody. Hello. Hello. So much respect.
I love a hot room.
Wow, another Monday night.
Look at this.
Brian Redband's here, everybody.
Look.
What's up, guys?
We're here.
We're live.
It's Kill Tony.
Keep it going for Pat Reagan, everybody, on the ones and twos.
He just played his fucking heart out for you.
And house artist Ryan J. Ebelt
ladies and gentlemen who's here live in the flesh
drawing tonight's episode
and just drew the exclusive
reveal of the first ever
Kill Tony movie poster ladies and gentlemen
an exclusive
reveal
it is fucking unbelievable
crazy
I own that one.
Looks like a poster for a foreign film.
Ryan J. E. Belt's prints are available at ryanjebelt.com.
He draws every single episode from a blank sheet of paper,
and he started tonight's episode already right now.
I'm seeing it live.
At the end of the episode, we're going to reveal exactly what he drew.
It looks like a Tarantino poster.
That's like an old western vibe feel.
I like the folding.
It looks like it's been folded
and taken out of a magazine or something.
Yeah, it's old school throwback.
It's very cool.
When you hear the sound of a kitty.
So cool.
Josh Martin Comics here
helping out, running around.
So we're all here.
So here we are.
We're all live.
Monday, we're back.
What is that? Is that just a bag
of meat? It's my meat bag.
Brian, what has this become?
It's the diet I'm on.
It's my fast food. Comedians eating weird on
podcasts. Well... It's emergency.
Meat. You have a bag of meat.
You went to the grocery store and got $4.79
worth of...
Roast beef eye, whatever that is.
Oh, wow.
And Jamie Vernon, everybody.
HD camera way in the back.
Young Jamie.
The great Jamie Vernon.
Amazing artist.
Amazing director, photographer.
So many things.
Pat, how's life going?
It's going, man.
I'm keeping it 100, trying to stay wavy.
I got my ear to the streets.
I'm trying to pick up what the kids are talking about.
One of my favorite things about this poster is you, actually.
Look at that face.
That shocked look.
That face is so great.
It's like, huh?
Maybe we could add on, like, maybe there's, like, accessories you can buy for the poster
for if you stick with this glasses look that you have.
This young Bernie Sanders look
that you're trying to pull off.
The protester.
You look like Bernie Sanders when he got arrested at that protest.
That's my O face on the poster.
It is.
Tony, your face, you look like you have a queef face.
Like, whoa, what's that smell?
And Brian, you have the face of a guy that's like,
don't touch my meat bag.
Yeah.
Don't touch my meat bag.
Give me my meat bag.
I paid $4.79 for that meat bag.
I think it's just roast beef, but like steak part.
Like, it's steak beef.
Yeah, I think you're trying to make steak out of your... Ew, disgusting.
Don't put that near me, Brian. That's just
gross. Anyway...
Something Charlie from Always Sunny would eat.
Mm-hmm. Fuck yeah. For all you
crossover Always Sunny
Kill Tony fans out there.
Super points for...
Alright. Let's get the show
going. I always have some of the funniest
comedians in the world on this show.
And guess what?
This week is no different.
Three of the best comedians in the world.
Put your hands together for Doug Benson, Greg Fitzsimmons, and Esther Kuh.
Oh shit.
Look at this.
Look how fast it happens, everybody.
All of a sudden.
Boom.
A full panel of amazing comedians.
Some of our favorite people.
Guys.
Hi, everyone.
Grab a microphone. Make yourselves at home. We got a, everyone. Grab a microphone.
Make yourselves at home.
We got a hot popper.
Hot popper.
Josh Martin, what's happening?
What up?
Hi, everybody.
Hi, Tony.
Hinch Cleef.
Esther Koo, this is your first time on the show,
even though the set looks like it was made for you specifically.
Thank you.
I love it.
Who's got the crackle?
Can we find out now? You're all grabbing your mics by the bottom,
but near the cord.
Go ahead and...
Mine's not...
That's that one.
It's that one.
It's the one on the stage.
Wait, it's the one on the stage.
Oh, perfect.
Check.
It looks like it's been bashed into a lot of people's heads.
Give the first time comedians the shittiest mic.
Hello, mic check.
Josh, this is the part where you should be fixing something.
He freaked out.
He just ran. I just saw him run downstairs.
Okay.
So that mic's out.
Doug, is yours on?
Hello, I'm an amateur comedian.
Hello, check.
I could use a little more hotness in mine.
Yeah, you have like nothing on.
I need some heat.
I'll be a pro and talk loud into it. Esther, how's yours?
Hello, hello, hello.
I think whatever cable that
Doug is using is bad, and that's why
Doug can't be heard right now.
Yeah, so maybe you and Esther can
just hang out with your mic,
each other's mic. Just unplug it. You want me to share
my mic? Just until Josh gets back
from the woman's restroom.
Alright. my mic? Just until Josh gets back from the woman's restroom. One of them
is making a distinguishable crackle.
I think it's Doug's. It's not mine.
We've lost everybody now.
Stay still. I'm trying not
to move it.
Oh, shit.
What was that?
I couldn't see. Just drop that? I couldn't see.
Just drop it?
I've never seen anyone drop the mic
while things are going terribly wrong.
Normally that is something
saved for like you just
crushed it or something like that.
That makes more sense though.
I was getting rid of it. Now hers isn't working.
What? Hello?
Good thing this live show isn't a podcast.
Because it's just a live show.
So it doesn't matter because no one will ever hear this.
Hey, Feng Chao.
Can you get a Josh Martin?
I feel like we should always have a mic on Feng Chao. This one's bad.
This one is not good
I turned that one down just to figure out which mic is wrong
Josh
Make this real
Josh
Where'd you go Josh
The show just started
Here Joshy Joshy
Josh
There's a
I think one of the mics
I think Doug Benson's mic
or the comic mic,
whichever one has the splitter
or whatever,
I think, yeah,
it's bad news.
It's like,
let's hit that.
Oh, no.
I've never heard somebody
drop a microphone like that.
The F when things
are not going well.
I love it.
Doug's so high,
he still thinks
that microphone's working.
Oh, shit.
Greg, you ever have technical difficulties on any of these? I once did an entire hour and 35-minute podcast with Andy Kindler
and then realized at the end of it that we had not hit record.
Oh.
Oh shit.
I said Andy can you
stay and we'll do another one. He's like
let's go. Did another hour.
It was unbelievable.
He was high.
I'm
sort of back.
Try it.
That's got a that's some nice action
Doug Benson
Josh
It's the heat that I'm looking for
Now I will only drop the mic
In victory
Hello
Hello yes there we go
That's the most important microphone right there
Josh Martin
Josh Martin right there. Josh Martin.
Josh Martin right there.
Right when we needed him.
Right at the second we needed him. He's going to get in Texas tees over here.
Let's get this party started.
You guys know how it works.
Comedians signed up for the chance to do 60 seconds on this stage
and then talk to us afterwards about anything and be on a live podcast.
We talk about their set and what we saw, and maybe we make fun of them.
Maybe we can say something that helps them.
Maybe we can find out something else that they could talk about.
Guys, comedians, you know your 60 seconds is up when you hear the sound of a kitty.
That means wrap it up then, or else you're going to bring out the angry West Hollywood bear.
All right.
Okay.
Very good.
Wow.
Fresh from the Revenant.
Right when...
The subtle audio tastes of Brian
Redband.
Right when we couldn't push more
people away from listening to this
episode of this podcast.
That's for you guys that were on
the treadmill during that one.
Special gunshot for you.
Would you guys like any meat?
It's...
Brian, get your meat bag off this table. You put it over there on your special Would you guys like any meat? It's uh Alright Brian
Get your meat bag off this table
You put it over there on your special creepy producer table
Jesus it's like a scene from a David Fincher film
Guys
Let's get this party started
This is Kill Tony
So we can just start the episode right here
Hey guys welcome to Kill Tony.
Everybody's here.
Alright, I pulled the name out of the bucket and that name is Steve Breeze.
Steve Breeze.
Yeah. That's a lot of noise and happiness, man.
Thank you.
How we doing, you guys?
Great.
What's up, Pat?
I was taking a nap in back.
Sorry, I apologize.
My name is Steve Breeze. My social security number is 395026574.
My mother's maiden name is Duran, and the answer to your security question is the topic of this next joke.
I've got a cat. I named my cat Deep Purple, because every time he meows, he goes,
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.
This joke is sucking right now.
Let's see.
You guys ever go through a breakup?
Make some noise if you were sad at one point in your life.
There we go.
Sad like every day of my life.
My ex-girlfriend really fucked me up.
She cheated on me.
So what I did is I masturbated to a picture of the guy she fucked right in front of her.
Because if I have to think about her fucking another dude, she has to think of that every time we have sex.
All right.
Thank you, guys.
Fuck you, Steve Breeze.
For some reason,
I feel like I've heard you...
You've been on the show before, right?
The same minute, right?
Yeah.
I think it's sort of like an
unsaid...
Satan Bear sound effect, right?
Yeah.
I mean,
Steve, what's going... Do you only have a minute,
Steve? Yeah, we can do that.
I got a minute. You got one minute?
One minute.
Steve the Minute Man.
And 30 seconds of it is set
up for meow, meow, meow.
Meow, meow, meow, up for Meow, meow, meow Meow, meow, meow, meow
Meow, meow, meow, meow
Kill yourself
And the other 30 seconds is apologizing
He wasn't paying attention to the show
That he's unprepared for
Brian's like, kitty, horsey will do
Are you a skateboarder
I'm not
that horse Doug was the horse of truth
the horse happens when
anytime something super honest
is said
alright
someone was saying meow at the time
so that's why I got confused
there was
honesty in those meows.
Yeah.
So, Steve, how long have you been doing stand-up?
It's going on five.
Five days?
Five years.
Yep.
Oh, Esther Koo from...
By his 10th anniversary,
he helps to perfect that 45 seconds.
But what went wrong? anniversary helps to perfect that 45 seconds. But
what went
wrong?
Did it go
better the first time you did it on here?
No, because his response
was the exact same response.
Like, oh, this isn't going that good. You said the exact same
thing, didn't you? Oh, no, no.
That joke usually ends with
me telling him, single, and my cat died five years ago.
That usually actually gets a laugh.
Sometimes you gotta bring him down.
Sometimes you gotta bring up cat death.
Just to get him on your side.
What is your obsession with?
Now, that is not a horsey.
You can't tell us that that usually gets a laugh.
Well, it does. Because we don't believe you. Oh, okay. You can't tell us that that usually gets a laugh. Well, it does.
Because we don't believe you.
Oh, okay.
It didn't work now.
Why would it have worked before?
Oh, I don't know.
I have no answer.
You know, Esther, sometimes a joke will not work in one setting,
but will work in another.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I discovered during this whole thing, though,
is that when he said,
who's ever been ever been sad,
you didn't respond.
You've never been sad?
I have been sad.
You were just too slow.
I just was slow.
Yeah, you just got me dug outside.
Oh, I did not.
You're coming in here.
Wow.
Holy shit.
I don't know what that means.
Steve, what do you do for a living?
A living?
Right now, I do absolutely nothing.
You do absolutely nothing?
Absolutely nothing.
I just apply for jobs.
That's all I do.
Well, why don't you write jokes?
What do you do with all the time that you're doing absolutely nothing with?
Walk around, look for money on the ground.
Really?
Yeah.
That's your method?
Yeah, I've been doing it for a long time.
He only does jobs that rhyme.
You should go to...
Walking around, looking for money
on the ground.
Meow rhymes with
meow meow.
Steve, how much money do you make with that method
Of looking for money on the ground
Depends on the day
Sure I understand that
How about a Wednesday
It varies from every Wednesday to Wednesday
I don't know
I've collected like when I was growing up
That's how I just kept
Well yeah that's how all of us
When we're growing up
Through the ages of two to four, that's how we all growing up make a living.
When you find change around the house, that's what you do for a living when you're growing up.
We've all done that.
People that walk around just looking straight ahead or in oncoming traffic, they never make any money.
They're failures.
The go-getters
are at the fountains, though, where people
throw money in the water. Do you ever
go splish-splashing in the fountains?
No, I don't take from those.
I saw a homeless guy doing that recently
and I was like, that makes perfect
sense. I mean, he needs the money
and he's stealing little
dreams. Each one is like a wish, and he's getting a bath.
You saw a guy stealing out of a fountain?
What if you waited around, and he threw them all back in,
and you go, what's up with that?
He goes, lots of wishes, man.
So, Steve, you say that you've been doing this a long time, this method.
Did you notice a significant difference in the amount of money that you would find on the ground
with the evolution of credit cards?
I don't have those.
No, I know you don't have those.
Oh, actually, no.
I've got a target.
I don't know what part of that question you got confused with me thinking for a second.
I went through bankruptcy so that no credit card companies would give me.
Oh, you're like Trump.
Yeah.
So how do you pay your rent?
I don't.
Where do you live?
I have a really good friend.
You have a good friend you stay with?
I have a very good friend, yeah.
Like a couch situation?
It's a floor.
That's your friend?
I have a floor who's a friend.
Oh, man.
What floor is it?
What room?
The floor.
It's in a studio.
Don't tell me a kitchen floor.
It's a studio.
Let me ask you this.
Kind of a kitchen floor.
Do you ever wake up and look around and look for money?
No.
Well, in his apartment?
No.
Yeah, because you're right on the floor.
You'd be able to see it.
I found my own change on the floor.
You have?
Yeah, because I sleep in my pants sometimes and it falls out.
Dude, well, that's interesting to me that a guy like you who makes a living finding money would ever drop money yourself.
Has that ever happened after a long day of finding money?
You find out you have a hole in your pocket and you're just like, you've got to be fucking kidding me.
Have you ever laid backwards on the side of a bed and looked at the ceiling
and imagined it was the floor and that you could walk
on it?
You went for it there. I like that.
For all of you that are tripping
on mushrooms while listening to this episode.
Level 9 difficulty joke
by Red Band.
Who runs the bear button when you're talking?
I do.
I do, Doug.
Jesus.
Shots fired.
Where's the gunshot on that one?
Oh, he gets nothing.
That's so funny.
Steve Breeze.
Oh, I knew Sambo was coming.
You always wait for me to start.
Hang on, an old-time buggy's coming through.
We're at Disneyland on Main Street now.
coming through.
We're at Disneyland on Main Street now.
I love this
roasting Brian sound effects
that's happening.
Oh, shit.
Steve,
so what are your goals? What do you expect
to happen? I mean, you're just looking for money
on the ground.
Well, he said he's applying. What kind of jobs are you applying for?
I'm mostly in apartment management.
Sales. Let me put it to you this
way, Steve. What impresses me is
I don't know, what are we at? Like 150 or something
crazy. I don't even know how many
episodes we've done. I keep losing count.
But
I don't think I've ever
seen anybody out of
maybe 150 episodes.
We'll say 10 comedians a pop
that's what. 1,500 people
ever repeat a minute on this
show word for word like
they did it before and how it didn't work
and then did nothing of any of the
adjustments to the advice we gave them
from the previous episode and just did
it exactly the same. I
didn't do exactly the same. You can go back
and listen to the episodes.
Oh yeah let's go back and listen to the episodes. Oh yeah, let's go back
and compare.
I don't think we have enough time
for that right meow.
Meow, meow.
Meow, meow.
But Steve, it was nice to see you again, man.
Best of luck with everything.
I think I just heard somebody drop a nickel in the back.
Go get it. Steve Bree again, man. Best of luck with everything. I think I just heard somebody drop a nickel in the back. Go get it.
I didn't hear it.
Steve Breeze, everyone.
He's pretty sure
he's a pickpocket.
Pretty sure he's a fucking pickpocket, guys.
So why...
Make sure you protect your jokes.
The money that I find in pockets, I mean
the ground. He does have a Twitter.
He's on Twitter.
It's Steve Breeze Like.
B-R-E-E-S-E-L-I-K-E.
Steve Breeze Like.
He's on Twitter at, at, ooh, a quarter.
At what?
He's on Twitter at, at, ooh, a quarter.
07.
Everybody send him five cents on PayPal.
That's right.
At Steve Brelikes.
We probably should have passed the hat.
Passed the hat?
I mean, don't you think?
How about we pass a hat?
Anybody have a hat?
What does that mean?
Yeah, you're wearing a hat.
Asking for a hat.
I'm not passing a hat.
Does anybody have a glass?
You guys really want to raise money for him?
I need a glass.
I'm just curious what we'd get.
How about this?
How about everybody puts one joke in a hat for him to read?
Next time he's on a...
Oh, snap it.
I pulled another name out of the bucket,
and that name is Louis Offer, everybody.
Here we go.
Oh, how dare you, Louis.
While I tried to actually take a sip of water. We got a no-show?
I strategically
timed it so that I could have a few sips
of water, and because that person didn't show up.
I didn't even know.
That was weird.
Where did he go?
I pulled another name out of the bucket.
Oh, we know her.
Very cool.
Rising comedian in the community.
Put your hands together for Logan Gunselman, everybody.
Thank you, guys.
I feel like I might be a little bit late, but I got to ask, did you guys have a good Father's Day?
Is it good?
Mine was good.
My family, we went out to lunch to a seafood restaurant.
And my daddy didn't have his glasses on, and there was an item on the menu called conch chowder.
And my dad leaned over to me, and he said, hey, what's couch chowder my dad leaned over to me and he said hey what's couch chowder
and i was like oh that's gonna be what i call jizz from now on
my dad was like we can't have one nice meal
sorry if that was gross. This will be clean.
Do you guys think that the first guy to feed his pet dog chocolate,
he probably thought it was going to go way differently, right?
Okay.
I love that.
Logan Gunson, I'm doing it again.
I loved everything.
I just don't know why
right before that
last one you said
that was really dirty.
This one's going to be clean.
Like you like apologized
and it was funny before.
Oh, sorry.
I just felt bad
if it was too gross.
No.
Don't feel bad.
No, it'll never be too gross.
Couch chowder?
I can't.
That's catching on.
I like it.
Yeah, and you went into the relatively clean dog getting violent diarrhea and vomiting
until it dies joke.
Yeah, that was cute.
You did clean it up quite a bit.
Yeah.
Is that what happens?
All dogs can't have chocolate?
Is that the rule?
Small ones.
They die.
It's actually the caffeine that's inside the chocolate.
It's not actually the chocolate.
So don't give them coffee either.
Don't give them Coca-Cola.
Never give them hot coffee.
It's because the chocolate makes the dogs more delicious
if you know that they're chocolate-filled doggies.
And nobody knows more about it.
Whoa, that's kind of racist what you just did.
You're the racist one.
I'm just talking about chocolate filled doggies.
You're talking about delicious doggies?
Yeah, filled with chocolate nougat inside.
Wow.
All right.
There you go.
Esther Koo.
Logan, what do you do for work?
I work at an auction house and I'm a doorman at the improv.
Oh, cool. What are they I work at an auction house, and I'm a doorman at the Improv. Oh, cool.
What are they auctioning at the auction house?
Right now, a ton of Prince's old stuff, actually.
Oh, yeah.
Rest in peace.
One of the greats, Prince.
It's a shame that we lost him.
What's the big ticket item?
His ex-wife gave us her engagement ring.
That's pretty exciting.
That and his couch chowder.
Whoa, Jesus.
That's a little weird.
It's a very creepy voice with your couch
chowder over there, Pat. Logan, did you say you were a
doorman at the improv?
Yeah. Not door person?
I'm just curious.
It seems like you're really making
a point if you say door person. Really?
To me, I don't know. You seem like it's a political stance
to say door person?
I would still say, can you say
stewardess still, or are you not supposed to?
I don't know. This is semantics.
Comedy stewardess.
I don't know.
Has anybody else brought this up to you? Do you say doorman?
Is that a thing? I've never really thought of that.
Yeah, I just figured
that was the name of the job.
I guess there's a reason no one brings it up.
Yeah, I guess so.
When they say, why do you call yourself a doorman,
say, because I watch the door, man.
What do you do at the auction house?
That one was covered in sprinkly fairy dust.
What do you do at the auction house?
That's like we imagined it.
You're like all chill and mellow here,
and then you go there,
and you just start rambling off the numbers.
Do you do the auction voice?
Like, ay-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-yad-y that's it my job is actually really creepy I look up all the living relatives
of anyone and I find their address
and I write them a letter asking for
their stuff to sell so I just
well what I do is quite easy
I just wait until people die and then
take their stuff and sell it at a high rate
wow you went from like a nice girl I just wait until people die and then take their stuff and sell it at a high rate.
Wow, you went from like a nice girl to super evil.
Oh, what do I do for a living?
I thought you were going to do that thing again. Are you only allowed to send letters?
You can't email or tweet them?
Yeah, everything's by mail.
It's a really weird... It's a psychological
thing, right? Because people get a piece of paper and they're like,
oh, shit.
Yeah, I find them at their... If it was like a text
like, yo, your grandpop's just died.
What's up? It'd be super shady.
A letter, it's more like real.
It gives it like an actual physical thing.
You know what I mean? You don't want to call and say,
do you have any old guitars?
I say, well, he's still alive.
And you go, oh, let me call you back in like half an hour.
Check your Twitter feed.
We write living people, too.
I mostly get the dead ones.
That's my job.
Wow.
You got a dead one?
Give it to Logan.
Who are some other dead people?
Other than Prince, who are some other dead people other other than prince who are some other dead people that uh
immediately after david bowie died my boss is like look up everyone he ever worked with
oh my god yeah it's a soulless job but it's 18 an hour so i do it
wow you know your economy's bad when $18 an hour
gets a party horn
on a live podcast.
I'm going to hell, but I have dental.
If Brian had a confetti button,
he would have hit it.
Oh, I'd love that.
That was so joyous.
I'd love if we had fucking physical like if those balls
blew up
if we had buttons
for that
oh my god
that'd be the greatest
thing ever
you know what that
sounds like
that goes in the
idea chamber
another great idea
exploding balls
coming soon
live on Kill Tony
you ever have people
like approach you
about
yeah actually Red Fox's family sold his entire estate.
We have a huge portrait that's hilarious.
He's still alive.
No, he's dead.
He's dead.
He's super dead.
I was doubting myself.
He's dead, dummy!
I'm coming!
I'm coming, Elizabeth!
Oh, I can't. I already can't.
That's incredible.
That's an interesting
fucking field that you're in.
You should write some jokes about that.
Do you have jokes about that?
No.
Get into it.
It's a good topic.
When your boss was like, dude, you need to get
all this David Bowie
shit, were you under pressure
from
him to...
You could have been a hero.
Just for one day.
Can we change the subject?
Can't think of any more.
Quiet, you little.
Quiet, my little China girl.
Boom.
Powerful.
There you go.
And so anything else, Logan?
What else is going on in life?
See anything crazy working down at the improv?
Have those drawings of the comedians on the walls gotten any better?
No.
I want to know more about it, but I feel like can I ask, do you know, or
I have to ask someone else? How bad those drawings are?
And why it's unfinished.
No, they're finished.
It's finished.
It says restaurant and it stops at the A.
The whole thing is shitty
and then they were like, no.
I think someone shot him when they saw the picture.
Yeah, it was bad.
Alright, Logan. Well, good luck.
We'll see you again soon. Logan Gunselman.
She's on Twitter at A Dirty Guns.
A Dirty Guns.
That's gross.
What's her name? That's Dirty Guns.
Dirty Guns? Her last name is
Gunselman.
Dirty Guns. Logan Gun Guns? Her last name is Gunselman. Dirty Guns.
Logan Gunselman, by the way.
That's interesting.
How'd she get that?
All right.
Dirty Guns.
Dirty Guns just left the building.
Hey.
Dirty Guns are some of what she sells in the estate sale.
All right.
Pat Reagan.
Just going to show that we're all human up here, guys.
I know a lot of it's just rapid-fire murder.
Just to remind you that anything can happen if the show is totally live.
We have Pat Reagan firing off jokes once in a while for you.
I pulled another name out of the bucket.
Put your hands together for Benny
Spiwalla.
Wow.
Here he is.
Benny Spiwalla, everybody.
What's going on, guys?
Have you guys noticed lately that at the end of the date,
the woman always asks me if I'm gay?
Anybody else seen it?
No, and I know it's happening, because when I talk to my boyfriends,
my guy friends,
the bros I do Zumba with,
they tell me that at the end of their dates,
the woman always asks them if I'm gay.
Yeah.
And from what I've learned from this,
because it's happened many a time,
is that there's no real way to say no.
Because the more you deny it, the gayer you sound.
Me? Gay? No. I'm not gay. I'm definitely not gay. I don't know.er you sound. Me? Gay? No.
I'm not gay. I'm definitely not gay.
Have you kissed a guy? It's terrible. The stubble?
Feels gross. Ugh. Have you sucked a dick?
Ugh. I can't breathe through my nose. Can you?
TMJ? TMJ's terrible.
Definitely not gay, guys. I'm not gay.
Definitely not gay.
I recently signed up for the Tinder
and I'll tell you about it next
time.
Benny Spiwalla.
Spiwack.
Tinder cliffhanger.
So are you gay?
Ha ha ha!
Are we on a date?
Wait, who's that for? You. Are we on a date? What?
Wait.
Who's that for?
You.
It's for you.
No.
You're not, right?
I'm not.
Yeah, I didn't think so.
He's like what you would be if you never started smoking weed.
What?
Wow.
I feel like Esther had that one in the chamber just waiting.
But you don't seem gay at all. That's why the joke that one in the chamber just waiting. But you don't seem gay at all.
That's why the joke is kind of weird.
Is it?
You seem pretty straight.
You have that deep voice.
You should tell that to the girls I date.
Wait, does that really happen? It's happened multiple times.
So a bunch of girls that you've dated have been like,
dude, you're totally gay.
No.
Like, what happens?
What do you go down there and just suck their dicks?
You should talk to the girls whose dicks have been in his mouth.
That's exactly what I was getting at.
So you drowned out the bottom of my punchline.
Do you like a little finger, a little Kanye West in your ass?
No.
You don't like a little finger in your ass?
What are you doing with my volume, Brian?
I didn't do anything.
I feel like I'm fucking yelling.
He needs louder.
I agree.
Louder.
There we go.
Thank you. I have a little girl voice he's got a manly voice
and he's the one that feels gay
I feel really gay
Benny what do you notice
that the girls say that you're gay
what do they say when they tell you you're gay
well one of them said
we were just talking we were in West Hollywood
I said something about there being a lot of gay people
and she was like oh you're gay
can you say West Hollywood again for me
West Hollywood
but also it's just funny
it's just funny that you're like
so I was in West Hollywood
and I was mistaken for gay
it was my idea to meet there
I said let's go to Hamburger Mary's Hollywood and I was mistaken for gay. It was my idea to meet there.
I said, let's go to Hamburger Mary's.
And she was like, are you gay?
Is your brother home?
Why do you keep asking me that?
No reason.
Give another example. That one just didn't make
any sense all right all of a sudden you're like hey there's a lot of gay guys around and she's
like oh you're gay goodbye uh that's not a real story yeah there was a there was another time i
was at a party i was talking to a girl for a while um are you sure this girl wasn't a penis
i had a few drinks so i cannot be sure so what happened yeah we were
we were like flirting
all night
and we were like drinking
our faces were getting
like closer and closer
I was about to go in
for the kiss
and she like just looks at me
and she's like
I can't figure you out man
I was like what do you mean
you can't figure me out
like I'm Benny
I told you I'm whatever
she's like no
she's like no
are you gay
right why don't you just kiss her on the mouth and say why don't you tell me after, no, are you gay?
Why don't you just kiss her on the mouth and say, why don't you tell me after this?
Yeah, what did you do then?
They say, are you gay?
Yeah, I said no, and
she believed it.
There was a happy ending.
When you went down...
Wait a second, what do you mean it's a happy ending?
She jerked him off right there.
We've got to wait for that music.
Are you gay?
No.
Wait.
Winger, winger, winger, winger, winger, winger, winger.
It goes one way or the other.
That music doesn't match what I picture the rest of that party being.
I picture him being like,
do you believe me that I'm not gay?
And she goes, yep.
And they just sit there for the rest of the party
staring forward.
What do you mean it went good?
What happened after that?
You go, I'm not gay.
She grabbed my face.
She grabbed your face.
Wait, what?
Let it out.
Let it out.
Go over your whole entire face.
She had rosy hands?
Next thing you know, she pulls me into her beard.
And he told me he had a hundred yes.
And she remained my beard the rest of the time.
Benny, that is so interesting.
You have tough parents.
No, they're all right.
Homophobic father.
Did you hear the tone?
Did you hear that pitch?
Hey!
What's the deal with my dad?
What do you mean?
Anything about my parents?
He used to coach me
in high school basketball.
What do you mean,
your mom and dad?
Why do I have to like girls?
That was a gizmo.
Well, who named you Benny?
Was that your own thing?
Because it could be Ben.
It could be.
I tried Ben.
I tried a little bit.
I don't feel like a Ben.
Hi, I'm Benny.
Of course they think you're gay.
Call me Benny.
After Benny and the Jets from Elton John, who was...
Interesting.
Gay as fuck.
Interesting.
He's really gay.
That's true. He's pretty gay.
You do look gay.
Oh, thank you. Thank you!
Somebody! Yeah, thank you.
Wait, are you asking us to tell you if you're gay?
No.
It's just a routine he was doing, Esther.
I don't think so.
Benny, where are you from? From New York. That's right. Tough was doing, Esther. I don't think so. I think you're hung up. Benny, where are you from?
From New York.
That's right.
Tough parents.
Where in New York?
Chelsea.
Brooklyn.
West Village.
Tougher dad.
Brooklyn.
Your dad's a police officer.
He is definitely not.
What is he for a living?
He sells attachments, which...
Like...
Which one?
Exactly.
The things that price tags. Oh, Gildo. Which one? Exactly. The things that price tags
hang from
on clothing
that you break off.
It's right here.
Oh,
no.
I love that
the gayest thing
about you
is that your dad
sells those
for a living.
Out of
everything. Oh, you know
those things that the price tag's
attached to? I know.
I do not
like shoplifters. I will stop
them if it's the last thing I do.
You take those pants
off, you gay vigilante Holy shit Benny
This is amazing
Have you ever
Had a close encounter with a guy
I haven't
I've got lots of friends
So only women think you're gay
Yeah No no I have friends who are gay I've got lots of friends. So only women think you're gay.
Yeah.
No, no.
I have friends who are gay.
I've gone to some clubs with them, gotten some free drinks, so that's nice.
Yeah!
I took my shirt off.
Yeah, it sounds like you need more than a minute to work this all out. Yeah.
Benny's more hung up on these identity issues than the conservatives in abortion.
It's true.
When he talks, I think I'm suddenly in a movie
and there's a voiceover.
Benny, let me see your abs.
How am I doing?
Am I all right?
That's pretty gay.
You got it.
You got it.
You got it.

You got it. You got it. You got it. You got it. I saw those abs. But I can almost see your rock hard dick resting on those abs.
Let me see.
I'm glad I turned everybody around and convinced you.
Well, that's what you're good at doing, mostly with guys, is turning them around.
I'll convince you I'm not gay.
I'm going to be so not gay up in you.
I'll put my foot right up your ass.
Because if it was my dick, then I'd be gay.
But a foot does not count.
Oh, shit.
Oh, Benny.
Benny.
You play any sports or anything?
No, I run.
Yeah?
Where do you like to run?
Just around Santa Monica, where I live.
The city, not the boulevard, Brian.
Oh, my God.
He's like, I work out with the cast of Tangerine We do a lot of sit ups
How fast do you run?
A little bit faster than him
What do you do for a living?
I work in advertising
What are you advertising?
Right now a ski resort.
I feel like no matter what he says,
it sounds gay, man.
A ski resort!
A ski resort!
Didn't the ambiguously
gay duo go on a ski
resort? He's doing advertising for not a gay ski resort.
It's encouraged.
The resort is called White Tip, but it's not.
There's nothing gay about it at all.
It's just a reference to a mountaintop,
and now you can ski down in snowy whiteness.
Hey, who's poles?
Oh my god.
I'm fucking dying here.
This is unbelievable.
Everything that I find out about you gets gayer and gayer.
This is incredible.
Oh my god.
Holy shit.
Well, Benny, you got an hour on you.
I've got a lot to work out.
Good luck to you.
Benny, so nice to meet you.
I feel like we could have talked to you forever.
Thank you guys.
Please come back.
Benny's on Twitter at Benny SP.
Didn't really get to talk to him
about his comedy at all but that's all gold
holy fucking shit
there's a part where I literally
almost had a stroke during laughing
at all of that
would you like some meat?
no I'm still going to pass on that
I think being near that is probably part of the cause
that was incredible
holy fucking shit
guys has anybody that was probably part of the cause. That was incredible. Holy fucking shit.
Guys, has anybody, Esther,
a question that I always ask everybody the first time,
have you ever been, when you started out in comedy,
was there ever a moment that you hated,
like that you regret doing anything terrible?
That I regret doing something on stage?
Yeah, when you very first started.
God, I'm sure there's...
I used to be part of a comedy team in Boston.
It's called Coup and the Jew.
And we would tell people to quit comedy.
We would write a song about it.
I regret that.
Gotcha.
That was kind of mean.
Wait, you mean real comedians you were friends with?
Yeah, we would book them on the show,
and then we would write a song
on why they should quit comedy.
Wow.
And did they still hang out with you?
Yeah.
No.
You made some enemies.
Yeah.
Wow.
The Jew put you up to it, it sounds like.
Who was the Jew?
No, maybe it was me.
Really?
Yeah.
How do you know it was a Jew?
Well, because they run the entertainment industry in Boston.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It was a Jew.
Yeah.
Guys, how about one more time for Benny Spiwala,
who was up here a minute ago.
Benny!
Benny!
Benny!
Benny!
Hey, I pulled a name out of the bucket, and this is really cool.
I've never pulled his name out of the bucket, but I started with this guy.
I know him very well.
Everybody around here does.
Longtime L.A. comedian.
Put your hands together for Brian Swinehart, ladies and gentlemen.
Hey! Hey, Good to be here.
Tony's from Ohio. I'm from Ohio.
And the Wright brothers, John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, from Ohio.
All pioneers in aviation.
Ohio inspires people to fly the hell out of Ohio.
Wright brothers invented the airplanes so they could fly to different states, meet
women from other states. Ohio's not known for its women. That's how Ohio got its name
because you see her from far and then she gets close. Oh, hi. Oh. Grateful for the Wright
Brothers because I love to fly, but airport security's too strict. Going through the airport,
they confiscated my Starbucks frozen drink.
Took it away from me. Then I walk inside the airport.
What do I see?
Starbucks. What's Starbucks doing?
They're selling the same frozen drink they just
took away from me for twice the price.
Starbucks is behind terrorism.
Osama
Bin Latte.
It's a grande conspiracy.
His drinks are the bomb.
Brian Swinehart.
What's up, buddy?
Yo, man.
Fuck yeah.
Yeah, dude.
Thanks for having me.
Of course.
So fun.
Yeah, man.
I've been working with you for a long time.
Long time.
I love this look that you're rocking tonight.
Yeah.
I was coming from an audition, but I wanted to keep it on.
I love that.
I just made it in the Book of Mormon.
Yeah, are you going to be?
Yes, that's what it is, the Book of Mormon.
I'm up for it, yeah.
I love it.
How's life going?
It's good.
Good.
I went back home recently for Christmas and everything, so traveling a little bit.
Not enough, but.
Your voice says it's about, you're saying it's bad.
Huh?
I don't know.
Maybe.
Hey.
Yeah, they're out there.
They're out there.
Brian, what else?
It's interesting because you're one of those people that I've always seen you around and everything.
What exactly do you do other than comedy?
Well, my other job is a stand-in.
So I do stand-up at night, and I'll do stand-in.
Who do you stand in for?
Fucking Miami Vice?
No, Don Johnson.
No, I've done it for McConaughey, and I did it on the TV show Colony.
It just came out.
I stood in for Josh Holloway. So it's kind of tough. Can you do a McConaughey, and I did it on the TV show Colony. It just came out. I stood in for Josh Holloway.
So it's kind of tough because I'll do that for him.
Can you do a McConaughey impression for us?
Oh, yeah.
I once did stand in for McConaughey as the after in Dallas Buyers Club.
Is that a little self-deprecation?
Just to remind you all that I know what I look like, too.
Anyway, back to you, Brian.
Could do the impression.
Okay.
So this was a true story.
We finished filming, and we're at the beach.
Here we go again.
All right.
And I'm trying to get this girl to come to the comedy show, right?
And I'm talking to her.
McConaughey goes running by.
I see him the next day at work.
He's like, hey, man, I seen you talking to
a woman and a dog.
Was that your girlfriend?
I said, no man, I just like to go
out every day and make approaches.
Well, you gotta approach.
You gotta go out there and approach.
Then you gotta cultivate a relationship.
You water one here, you water one here,
you water one here.
A few might die.
That's pretty good.
But in the end, you got a garden.
Very nice.
I like that.
Very nice.
True story.
He really said that to you?
Yeah, that's a true story.
The next day at work.
He's an awesome character.
That's great.
Why did they film that for one of those car commercials?
Man, I had an idea for the car commercial.
I think that he needs to pull up in the car,
and somebody needs to pull up beside him like Ellen DeGeneres and be like,
all right.
And then the next car pulls up, you know, and somebody's like, all right.
Then a school bus pulls up, a school bus full of kids,
and they're like, all right.
And then the tagline would be,
flattery is the bus full of kids, and they're like, alright. And then the tagline would be, flattery is
the greatest form of imitation,
but there's only one original.
Lincoln.
Somehow
you just became the gayest guy
that's been on.
What part of Ohio
are you from?
I thought you were going to do a joke, but you just created a sincere ad.
That's a good ad, though.
Like Don Draper just suddenly showed up.
Lincoln.
You said that like a Lincoln executive would be in the room and be like,
you got a deal, kid?
You never know with your podcast. What else have you got?
What other ideas? Well, that's it. That's. You never know. What else have you got? What other ideas?
Well, that's it.
That's pretty much it.
What did you think of Benny?
Were you attracted to Benny?
Not really.
What was the audition that you went on for today?
What was that for?
Mercury.
Mercury?
Yeah.
The car?
No, the stuff that's in...
The planet.
Insurance? He's advertising a planet. What is Mercury? No, the stuff that's in... The planet. Insurance?
He's advertising a planet.
What is Mercury?
Yeah, insurance.
Oh.
What was the part for that?
I don't know.
It was like a...
You don't even know what you were...
They needed an undertaker.
Yeah, they needed a...
No, what do you mean you don't know, but you wore a tie?
I don't know, but...
Did they just say wear a tie?
Yeah, you're working at the company.
It's not a lot of...
You're dressed like you're a waiter. You have a white
shirt and a black tie and black pants.
You're a waiter. Just tell us the truth.
You just came from Daily
Cafe.
What's that place called? Daily Grill.
God damn it.
It would have been that much funnier if I said it right,
but still, you do look like you just
were waiting tables.
That's the truth. That's the truth.
That's the truth.
I never worked for McConaughey or any of those guys.
I wait tables.
I think that would be a smart way to go through life and show business.
Just always tell everybody you just came from an audition all the time.
You got me.
You just came from the Daily Grill.
People will be like, hey, have you noticed how often Brian is auditioning to be a waiter?
He is always up for waiter parts.
I mean, like every time I see him, even as the apron and the name tag,
it's like he didn't even get the role.
He's just auditioning, and he's got the name tag, the same one every time, too.
It's always for Applebee's.
Says his name on it.
What were the topics that you covered in your minute in your minute a lot of ohio ohio
you did some uh old school ohio street jokes for sure yeah john glenn neil armstrong uh
that's like you know i'm from columbus okay but what i did love as a regular ohio and i mean that
joke you can never repeat that again but the the Glenn Neil Armstrong. It's like Argus.
You've got to just look at it because that's like an old
school Ohio. But what I did love is
that Ohio, the
way that you did with that thing. I don't know. Is that a street
joke? Sort of.
The way you did it, I sort of liked it.
You did it with swagger.
What was after the Ohio thing? Starbucks.
Starbucks.
Yes.
Osama Bin Latte.
Yeah, Osama Bin Latte
is when that one
finally kicked in
because prior to that
I thought it was just
sort of a pretty typical
Starbucks observation.
You know what I mean?
Didn't feel fresh
but that Osama Bin Latte.
Holy shit.
That brought it home.
And then what was after that?
No, you missed the transition between talking about the Wright brothers
to talking about flying at the airport by going,
well, you know, they did a lot of things for flight,
so I'm in the airport recently.
Yeah, you don't have to do that.
Just do the next joke.
Like sometimes people like to have to transition everything
But if the joke's funny
You can just go right to the joke
Yeah totally
Brian
Good advice
What else is happening?
Anything else?
Doug Benson
Makes a
Makes a
A whole bit about
Bad transitions like that
I've got a segue routine
I did six or seven years ago
That's very funny.
Yeah, it was amazing.
Will you do a little bit?
It was amazing.
Yeah, babies love Vegas.
This is an example of this bad segway that's in the bit.
You've been doing stand-up, what, like eight years or so?
What's the most fun that you've had in L.A. doing stand-up?
What's a crazy night?
What's something that happened?
Anything interesting?
I used to always do three clubs,
a little bar show.
When I was starting out, we'd get so
plastered. Every night
was wild there. I don't know.
It's a good story.
Sorry, I don't got no fucking...
It's like an E-True Hollywood story.
Listen, man, storytelling's not my thing.
I just want to speak into a microphone, just random words.
They don't need to come together at any kind of point.
I want you to have a sense of where the joke would fall had I told one.
But, you know, part of that might be he was embarrassed by how crazy shit got, right?
Sometimes you've got to just be honest on stage and tell us about that time you fucked a pig on top of a roof.
Like the roof is a weird part.
I don't know.
I need to add that.
We don't need to know where you fucked a pig, but where did you fuck a pig?
The barn.
Oh, truth comes out.
All right.
That makes sense.
No, but the thing is if you fuck a pig in a barn and you get caught,
people are like, you're a pig fucker.
But if you fuck a pig on a roof and you get seen, people will be like,
what the fuck is a pig doing on a roof?
And then you just skirt away.
That pig deserved it.
Is that what you're saying?
Well, a pig's on a roof.
They're walking around being all pig-like on a roof. Of course they're going to get fucked. Why is that pig on a roof they're walking around being all pig like on a roof why of course they're
gonna get fucked why is that pig on the roof there is sort of something like to that i i mean if you
were gonna fuck a pig it would probably be one of the best places to do it it's like on a roof
because if people see you fucking a pig on a roof they're like oh my god he's gone crazy whereas if
they were to catch you if they were to walk into a barn
and you were like face the other way
and like fucking a pig and they walk up all slow,
then it's like you're the creepy secret keeping pig fucker guy.
Also, if you fuck a pig on a roof,
the thing is it's hard to fuck an animal
because they're going to run, you know?
But if you're on a roof and the pig is faced out over 10 feet,
like, he's gonna...
Right.
Are you guys on a pig fucking filibuster?
Like, did someone
challenge you to talk about it for as long as
possible? All I'm saying
is he can't run. He's gonna back up right
into it. What's crazy about all this...
What's crazy about all this... What's crazy about
all this pig talk is that your last
name... Swineheart.
Swineheart.
It's just a coincidence.
This is getting trippy. Heart means love.
Pig love. Yeah, all day,
every day. I love that
Neil Diamond song, turn on your
swineheart!
Is that... I never heard Turn on your swine heart. Is that...
I never heard that.
Oh, heart light.
Heart light, I meant.
Okay, man.
Brian, you're one of my favorite people.
I love you.
Thanks, Tony.
Hopefully we'll see you again soon.
All right.
Thank you, guys.
Brian Swinehart.
Thanks, dude.
Brian Swinehart. He's on Twitter at Brian Swine.
He's on Twitter at B Swine.
He's the one and the only.
I know that. B Swine.
I like the energy in this room right now.
I've never really seen 90 people get that quiet all at once.
But I like it.
All right, we've seen this guy before.
Put your hands together for him again.
His name is Taylor Rizzo, everybody.
All right, I was with this girl recently, and things were going well.
She was on top of me, kissing on my chest, and I had my hands in her hair and I was just so in the moment
and for some reason I just kissed her right on top of the head and she stopped immediately
you know I didn't know why but before I could say anything she was like uh do you just kiss me on
top of the head I was like yeah is that okay she was like it's kind of weird I was like oh really
sorry I guess I just thought it would be sweet she was like yeah it is sweet that's, it's kind of weird. I was like, oh, really? Sorry. I guess I just thought it would be sweet. She was like, yeah, it is sweet.
That's why it's weird.
I was like, oh, man, you're totally right.
Like, I was weird for doing that, but I don't know how to not be that guy.
Like, how do you just fuck a girl and not kiss her on top of the head
and let her know she's safe?
You know?
Rub your nose on her nose, flutter your eyelashes together,
fucking butterfly kisses, guys.
Like, that's just who I am.
So, ladies, if you're trying to hook up
with no strings attached,
but to feel like there are tons of strings attached,
yeah.
I'm your man.
Boom.
All right, thanks a lot, guys.
Hey, Larissa.
Fuck yeah.
That was awesome, man.
Yeah, you've been on the show a few times.
Yeah, I did 30 seconds last week of just horrific.
You got pulled out last second.
It wasn't good.
Right, yeah.
That was better.
That's what happens.
People come back strong.
Yeah, I feel good.
Doug's here.
You redeemed it, man.
I did.
I'm glad.
You landed it.
I like that.
Didn't know where you were going, and then all of a sudden you fucking landed it.
Well, thanks.
It's basically the second half of a joke.
It's like the story portion without the setup.
It's a two-minute joke, and I just told the second part of it.
Sure.
Maybe you should just tell that good part of the joke always.
It's good.
I'm excited about hearing that first minute now.
You know, like a prequel.
Well, it's pretty funny because I told it on the show that we did about a year ago,
but there's no way you would remember that.
I was backstage going, why did I put this guy on stage?
Yeah, definitely.
I'm joking.
He's great.
See how great I am?
Calm down, everybody.
But so when you go to the clothing store, do you go,
I want to look like I'm performing in a prison yard?
Yeah.
Exactly.
And would the beard say the Guantanamo Bay prison yard?
I go deep with my prison yard.
I like that shirt,
but it also just says prison.
How much maroon and gray prison uniforms do they have?
It's like if Kohl's came out with Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? How much maroon and gray prison uniforms do they have?
It's like if Coles came out with Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
Special release.
It's pretty good.
What do you keep in that one pocket?
A better shirt?
It's like the Boston Marathon bomber.
All he went to was a rainbow when he escaped. It does look like you
bought an entire outfit
that went with the beard.
It looks like you bought that outfit
at the barber shop.
He walked in and said, what goes with this?
It does. He looks like
the costume at the Halloween
store where it shows the person
showing the whole outfit you get.
Just a mannequin?
That's just a mannequin. I want to go out for Halloween as a
barbershop pole. Help me out.
I have to stand at an angle, though.
I want to dress as a
squirrel that's been run over.
That's actually
bad on.
That is exactly what it looks like.
I want a hair piece like a
Lego man.
Whoa.
All right.
It looks all perfect.
What?
My hair?
No, it's just like it looks so hairspray down.
He looks like Kanye West's poop finger.
That's what he looks like.
Whoa.
I haven't gotten any of the Kanye poop finger jokes tonight.
I just, the bottom line here is he said nothing in his routine
that we can make fun of, so we're just attacking him.
Yeah, I just started getting roasted.
Exactly.
You want to be honest?
I fucking like that shirt.
It's a nice shirt, yeah.
Yeah, I would wear that.
I like that.
All right.
Fuck yeah.
Even the shit that you're talking shit about is nice.
You know why it's creepy when you kiss girls on the head?
Yeah. You kiss up here. I learned that. That's what the bit's about. You know why it's creepy when you kiss girls on the head? Yeah.
You kiss up here.
I learned that.
That's what the bit's about.
Yeah, that's what.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
I just, and earlier in the bit,
I talk about how I just,
whenever I hook up with a girl,
I just act like their boyfriend for the night.
And that's just what I do.
I don't know.
You have to ease into it.
You can't just cuddle right away.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
I just, I've always been like a girlfriend guy,
so just sex and holding hands
and stuff just goes together.
Cuddling, soaking.
I'm gonna fucking kiss your head
if we make out.
Whoa, I like the swagger
that you have.
I've never,
I've never seen somebody,
I've never seen somebody
with so much swagger
while they're wearing
a chocolate fruit stripes
gum shirt.
You know what girls like? They like you to kiss
them on the top of their head while you put two fingers
in their butt at the same
time. That's a super hot move.
Come on, yay. Like that shirt
looks edible. Like it looks edible
like you would get it at a gift shop
at Willy Wonka's or something like that. I feel like this
couldn't be more of a plain shirt.
Is that made out of hemp? Because I'd like
to smoke it.
It wouldn't even get of a plain shirt. Is that made out of hemp? Because I'd like to smoke it. It wouldn't even get you high, Doug.
You know what's really nice is when you coochie-coo a girl while you're fisting her.
That's always really nice.
I've never fisted anyone.
Which one are you going to react to?
Girls like when you give them a wet willy But instead of a finger you use your dick
Just put your wet dick in there
So Taylor are you single right now?
Yeah I'm single right now
So this was an old girlfriend you were kissing on the head
No it was a girl that I
Like hooked up with
After a breakup I was trying to
Get out there and hook up with girls
And it got weird Because I just acted like their boyfriend.
I'm going to kiss you on the top of the head.
Now, when you have a real girlfriend, why does it usually end?
Do you smother them?
Yeah, smother them.
I build up stuff that's not really going on.
Yeah, what's up?
You guys want to date?
Next time you feel like kissing the top of her head,
put your hand on her head first
and then kiss your own hand.
Because then you did it,
but she won't know about it.
That's true.
Where are you finding these girls
who don't realize how creepy you are
when they meet you?
That they actually bring you back to their apartment.
How are you getting so far?
Yeah.
How are you getting so far? Yeah. How are you getting a head
top kissing?
How are you getting a second and a half pace?
It's tender. How else
do people meet creepy people for sexual
encounters? Oh, tender.
Whose picture do you use? Back of Target.
My picture. Wow.
We still love Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln.
You know what's funny, though?
Is I just, on Tinder, I just like everyone,
and I've never had an Asian girl like me back.
I don't think Asian girls like beards.
Is that true?
It is true, because we're hairless.
We're, like, smooth, you know?
Yeah, I'm the opposite of hairless.
It's just not equal.
Yeah, you have 70s Bush.
There's no equality.
Yeah. You can do better than that, Tony.
I've heard of a lot of 70s Bush references,
but you must understand
that your beard looks exactly
like 70s Bush.
Other people say that for other people
and it's hacky, but no, that there
literally looks like 70s Bush.
Which begs the question...
The special kind of pubic beard that you have.
There's so many
male pubes on your face
that what's-his-fucking-name
wants to suck your head right now.
Benny wants to suck your fucking head.
Benny wants to suck your head.
This begs the question...
Where were you educated? Did you go to a pubic high school?
Is your chin circumcised?
It is.
Do you shave your balls?
That would be the irony of the whole thing.
No, I don't.
Could you solve a Rubik's cube?
I can't get into the pun game.
Did your dentist tell you you have a yeast infection?
All right.
Come on, man.
Jump in.
Don't be the second Bush this week to drop out of something.
Please clap.
Please clap.
Fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah, man.
Ah, Taylor.
What else is going on?
You've been out here doing stand-up.
You've been out here a few months?
Yeah, I've been out about four and a half months so far.
Been on the show a few times?
Yeah, a couple times.
I do, yeah.
I build the displays at Urban Outfitters.
Oh, wow.
That's where you got the shirt.
That's exactly.
And the pants.
Wow.
40% off.
I bet.
And they were on the clearance rack to start.
Exactly.
These were like $3.
That's how I get all my clothes.
I love that.
Buy better of them.
Use your discount to your advantage.
Yeah, it's not bad.
But I like the job.
It's early morning, so I can do stand-up at night.
I'm off by like 3 in the afternoon every day.
Take a nap.
Come home and take a nap.
Yeah, sometimes if I can.
Do you ever jerk off first and kiss your hand?
I would have to kiss my hand before the
actual stuff started happening.
Get me in the mood.
I gotta know that they can handle a little sensualness.
Sensuality?
I don't know words too well.
Do you ever shoot yourself in the beard and
make a fake porno
I feel like my beard
is like an alien to you right now
alright
you just keep staring at it
yeah
you can touch it if you want
no thanks
isn't his time done
he needs to go
that's it
Taylor Rizzo Taylor Rizzo
Taylor Rizzo
Great stuff
Best set ever on this show
At Taylor Rizzo
He's got a good cream catcher
Yeah
Good cum couch
Let's move on to our regulars now
And maybe if we have time we'll pull another one out of the bucket at the very end.
We have two regulars who perform a brand new minute
every single week on the show,
and they've both been on the show for a few months now,
and it's fun to watch them grow,
and it's a fun fucking thing, always, week to week.
Ups and downs and craziness of watching a comedian grow
in the deep pits of the belly room.
They do a brand new minute every single week, and they don't get pulled out of the bucket.
Going up first tonight, Kill Tony Regular, one of our favorite people.
Peering in together for Melissa Esslinger, everybody.
So I played baseball for 12 years when I was growing up.
It was no offense to softball players, but I didn't want to be a cheerleader or a lesbian.
But actually I played because when I was 8 years old, one of my coaches killed himself.
And I told that fucker I wasn't going to be a quitter.
So I played for a long time.
Being the only girl playing baseball was cool.
When I would run out of the
dugout, the coach would always slap the dude's butts and get to me and just like awkwardly pat
me on the head. I was actually asked out while playing once, like during a game I was playing
shortstop. The guy was running on second base and he was like, hey girl, you want a boyfriend? I was like, no.
He was like, I'm packing.
We were like 12, so I don't know.
I was like, we're packing, what, a lunch?
I don't know.
I thought packing something meant a gun.
I don't know.
You got it, Melissa Esslinger.
Wow, fun, great,linger. Wow. Fun.
Great. Love it.
So likable. I love that patting on the
top of the head joke and that's so
awesome.
You know, hard jokes to write is
when you're trying to really talk about
your past and you and
you're not just floating out stuff that
is routine.
It's a good topic
and those were solid jokes.
Did it ever cross your mind?
Did you watch The Last Guy?
No, I wasn't a fan.
That's the thing. If you are in the back
of the room and you see the other comics,
when you did that routine and it ended on
a padding on the head, you could have said,
at least he didn't kiss me on top of my head.
It would have been like a big laugh
and a fun... I don't know. It seemed to just get
mutters when you just said it right there.
No, no. I don't know if it really would have got that.
You're a professional comedian.
That's what I'm saying. It would have been perfect
when she said it, but I was really
leading up to it too much. I know.
But you're a professional comedian. Yeah.
Like it couldn't have been said any better
than you just said it. He's also a professional weed smoker.
That's true.
Yeah.
But anyway.
Yeah.
But I mean, but that's interesting that you say, oh, I didn't see him.
Because that's part of when you're doing stand-up.
It's like knowing what came before you can influence your performance and help you or warn you about things that are going to happen.
To be honest, I ate carnies earlier
and I should have.
Oh, she ate carnies, you guys.
Don't go eating that fucking shit train.
What did you eat at carnies?
Some fries.
That's rough.
Whoa, the carnies horn, everybody.
When you want delicious hot dogs,
carnies.
In a new special promotion with Kill Tony.
I'm curious.
All aboard the diarrhea train.
Making stops now and now and now.
I had diarrhea on my couch yesterday
Wait what?
I was in my
Laying around until 8pm
Just having diarrhea every 10 minutes yesterday
On your couch?
I had a little bit
The way that you said that
I was on my couch watching Kajimusha
The Kira Kurosawa 1980 film
That'll give anybody diarrhea.
Watching whatever.
And I thought it was a fart, you know.
And then just like a little droplet came out.
I had to fucking clean up shit off my couch.
Have you thought about wearing pants?
I was wearing boxers.
Right.
Came through. I was just,ers. It came through.
The diarrhea, it was just like a light
went off. I'm like, I had diarrhea all day
yesterday. We have somebody here who can
clean that up for you. Benny!
We need some tongue action.
Points for Esther, too, on this
reverse episode of At Midnight.
Well, that was fun. You did it again.
Another new minute from Melissa Esslinger, everybody.
Great job!
She's on the poster, too.
Our other regular
also been on the show for a couple months
now. Put your hands together for her.
The always fun stylings of the one and only
Vanessa Johnston
everybody hey guys um they say you can fix most things with a hammer
well I have pretty girl problems which luckily can also be fixed with a hammer.
Being really pretty and really ugly are the same.
Nobody cares about your personality.
Being average has its benefits like if you
accomplish anything
people would think it's a miracle
I could build a rocket ship
solve world hunger
cure cancer
and people would be like
what a slut wow holy shit that's amazing so fucking awesome
that was fucking hilarious thank you you're pretty you're pretty
you're pretty and funny yeah that was so great i guess like all
the while like that's sort of the tone and everything that i've been talking about like i
i always have said like i can't wait to see what kind of jokes you're doing when you start
like owning you know being pretty and that's amazing that's like so funny and it's so
so you know original too because there's nobody that can really, there's not really.
Is that, do you do a lot of it, too?
There's nobody that can really.
Soul.
Soul.
Last thing I want to do is contribute to some ugly female comics blog tomorrow.
Tony Hinchcliffe says, there aren't that many stunning fucking comedians.
I mean, there's a difference.
There's a lot of good-looking comedians.
Anyway, yeah, that was fun.
Greg, is this your first time seeing Vanessa?
Yeah, I was going to ask you,
is that your material normally,
or is this a new thing?
No, it's new.
It was really hard for me to write it this week
just because I felt so like...
It's hard doing it not being gross.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I know.
I'd be like...
Oh, no.
Yeah. I think Esther might have liked that one.
No, I totally agree.
What's cool about both you and Melissa's sets tonight
is the jokes that I saw you do,
and when I saw Melissa do the joke about the...
Just the way she said, and she's so innocent about the patting on the butts,
and she got patted on the head.
I could almost see those being definite lock-them-down,
like showcase set type of jokes for years to come in your career.
So fun, cool little thing.
You know what I mean?
Both jokes that establish both of their styles
and who they are from the get.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I'm A material.
It better be A material because that's a tough fucking premise.
If you're a black guy and you go on stage and you make jokes about being a black guy, you're a fucking black guy.
But if you say you're really pretty and people are just – they don't buy into it, then you're – people think you're just a fucking snotty girl.
Yeah, that joke's only going to last like two or three years.
I know.
Oh, no.
Shit.
Oh, God damn it.
No.
No.
No.
If you would have told me that out of nowhere
Brian would say the meanest thing
in the history of this show,
I never would have thought that.
But somehow you just passed up
hundreds of evil pinch clips.
Because once I get her pregnant,
she's not going to look the same.
Oh my god, Brian!
Brian, you are disgusting.
It's a great Tracy Morgan impression.
Vanessa, anything else?
How's life? Everything good?
Great. Thank you.
Fun times. Vanessa Johnson, everybody.
Well, you know what?
It was a fun episode, guys.
We made it through.
I don't think we really have time.
Do we?
One quick one?
You guys want one more?
Oh, bonus comic!
One last one.
Put your hands together for Pat House, everybody.
Pat House, everybody. Pat House.
Pat House has left the house.
Wow.
I mean, he did say that you were done with... Naveed Sultan?
Maybe draw another one.
Yeah, let's be good.
Every comic left.
Anthony Moulet.
Richie Gaines.
There he is.
Yeah, here we go.
Hi.
I'm a smoker, which is bad.
It's not the worst thing in the world.
I could be like a blogger that tells people I'm a real writer
or could make up buzzwords like grief shaming.
Heard that one the other day.
Grief shaming, what is that?
What do you like, go to a funeral, someone's crying,
you're like, hey, I'm sorry for your loss. Pussy. What the hell is grief shaming? Strip
clubs. How do we feel about them? Great. My recommendation on strip clubs, I don't go
often, but if you do go, I recommend go with a virgin. Now that's a good time. I went to
a strip club with a virgin. Going to a strip club with The Virgin
is a lot like doing a Make-A-Wish,
but at the end you have the cure.
I think that's a minute now.
It's 48 seconds.
Want to stop there?
Richie Gaines, everybody.
Fuck yeah.
Richie Gaines.
Getting it.
Richie, how's life going?
It's going pretty good.
I just started a job today.
Oh, yeah?
What's the new job?
Coffee shop.
Coffee shop.
Coffee shop.
Which one?
It's in Atwater Village.
Some French.
You don't even know the name of it?
Yeah, it's some French thing.
It's definitely not Intelligentsia then.
Can't think of the coffee place?
Richie, we are ending the show.
We squeezed you up at the very, very end.
We ran out of time completely.
Good job. Have a good night.
Good job.
What's coming up? Greg Fitzsimmons, what do you got going on?
We got Philadelphia,
Atlanta, and Dallas over the next three
weeks. Fitzdog.com.
