Starting point is 00:05:51 Let's just say, all right, no, I won't even say that. Hey, the Kill Tony shirt is available right now at the box office. If you didn't know, you can get by it right there at the front. I was just going to say for the first time ever, you are the first audience that has the potential to buy the brand new Kill Tony shirt, which we enough pays homage to the Comedy Store. It's home here, and it's also available at shopsquad.tv. Also, fun fact that I just found out right before the show started. Next week, Ryan J. Belt is bringing 50 custom-made five-year anniversary prints. So only 50 people in that crowd will be able to get it.
Starting point is 00:06:26 So by the time you listen to this, you fucked up. Never had a chance. RyanJEBelt.com for all the other posters and prints. Kill Tony draws every episode, and let's get this thing started, shall we? Every single week, I have one of the funniest guests in the world, one of our favorite comedians. And coming up on our five-year anniversary, I figured I would go with truly one of the best at being of our favorite comedians, and coming up on our five-year anniversary, I figured I would go with
Starting point is 00:06:45 truly one of the best at being a guest on this show, truly one of the funniest comedians, someone who we love, love, love here at Kill Tony. Make some noise for the great Kirk Fox, everybody! Come on! His special's on Showtime. That guy.
Starting point is 00:07:03 He'll be here tonight. You can sit right here. Heck yeah. The great Kirk Fox, ladies and gentlemen. Come on. This is all happening. Excited to be here, Tony. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:16 This is it, man. This is where dreams come true. I'm excited about it. It's quiet. Congratulations on the baby. You're now a daddy. Yeah. That's what they say, man. It's quiet. Congratulations on the baby. You're now a daddy. That's what they say, man. It's a father.
Starting point is 00:07:29 I created life. There's a girl that will eventually also hate me, so that's good. I'm pumped about this. I'm pumped to have you back. Thank you, Tony. It's good to look at you. It's always creepy. I was looking at one of my favorite pieces of art,
Starting point is 00:07:46 the Kill Tony, the book from Ryan J. E. Belt. And I was spanning through it earlier, admiring how many fun episodes we've had together. Yes, Tony. I like a lot of those drawings. There's a few of them that capture most of me. It's good. Well, a lot of people... I mean, I feel that the momentum is pretty strong right now
Starting point is 00:08:06 I had something loaded up there right before that moment which you called it out, but I guess I'll just keep moving on we've set the bar pretty low let's just keep shitting on the show, we have an hour and a half left if we take care of it now, maybe they'll believe us towards the end a lot of people who are wondering who the second guest is tonight, it is Kirk's mustache. We give it its own chair. It stays with Kirk.
Starting point is 00:08:30 I like that. But we like to keep a chair empty just for it. I'll move to that chair if I have to. If that mustache wants to grab that microphone at any point and riff on its own, it's free too. The hat's already there, so it knew what was coming. And a fun fact is that we have a band. You guys like bands? Huh? Yeah. Oh, longer?
Starting point is 00:08:50 That's what the bump was? Oh, alright. I mean, our band needs no introduction, but I'm gonna give it a long one anyway. Because I guess I got a bump that says they're still getting ready. So, you know, fun times. The fucking band.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Feel good about it. Is the band supposed to be out here? It started off, remember when we had the Iron Patriot? The old superhero? I do remember that. That was a good time for him. Now it's turned into a whole goddamn band. A lot of people say they're the best damn band in the land.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Uh... Are we waiting for the land? You know, there's so many funny things that they do every week. They commit to different characters and they have to stay in character. I never know what they're going to be. Sometimes it's just like them. So this will be a surprise to everybody. Indeed. And then they stay in character throughout the entire show. What happens if they break character? Sometimes that happens. They don't even realize that they did it. And nothing really happens, not much. I just sort of say, hey, what happened to the character?
Starting point is 00:09:55 And they sort of go. I just want to know what I should be bracing myself for, Tony. Like if I'm watching them and suddenly they're not what I thought they were, I just want to know how I should behave. If that happens, we're all going to go through it together. And with nothing further to hold out for, I now give you the best damn band in the land, the Kill Tony Band, Jeremiah Watkins,
Starting point is 00:10:16 Joelbert Joel Jimenez, and Chroma Chris. Always way too long of an introduction. What is this? Oh my god. You've got to be kidding me. Is this the Founding Fathers? Oh, look at the swagger on this one. Wow, some real revolutionaries.
Starting point is 00:10:42 I didn't realize they all wore tube socks. Fuck yeah. Okay. Man, I like it. I love it. This is fucking incredible. We have Jeremiah Watkins, who is clearly tonight the character of Snow White. And you are the witch.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Hello, revolutionary man. How's it going? Hello, Tony. It is fantastic to be here. Wow, so that's how you're going to talk all night. Okay. And that is how you always talk. You're a real asshole.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Jesus. All right. Respect your forefathers. Do you have a name or anything like that? Who's that guy sitting next to you? General Chris. Famous general. He won a big battle.
Starting point is 00:11:34 General Chris. And back here we have a Mexican grandmother who just escaped out of a mental hospital. I don't know what the fuck. Joel, how are you? I fought for your freedom! What? Alright. Fuck yeah, remember the Alamo
Starting point is 00:11:52 or something like that. Well, the pieces are in place. This isn't even the show, people. This is just the fucking setup for it. I here have a bucket filled with people's names that signed up earlier in the night for the chance to get pulled out and perform 60 seconds in front of us and then
Starting point is 00:12:08 talk to us afterwards. It's a little interview. Maybe we find out that they killed somebody or that they're good at rollerblading while yo-yoing. You never know what's going to happen. If they killed somebody, we should probably plan on what to do. We should have a plan. We really should. I got backup.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Good. We got some soldiers here. I got backup. Good. We got some soldiers here. I have killed many men. If I pull your name out of the bucket, you get 60 seconds of stage time. You know your 60 seconds is up when you hear the sound of a kitten. That means wrap it up then, Earl. She's going to bring out the angry West Hollywood bear. You guys ready to start this thing? It's Kill Tony.
Starting point is 00:12:41 the angry West Hollywood bear. You guys ready to start this thing? It's Kill Tony. Four years and 51 weeks of Kill Tony. Fuck yeah. All right. And your first human being getting an uninterrupted 60 seconds here tonight goes by the name of Angel Pitts. Angel Pitts.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Here we go. Here comes Angel Pitts. Angel Pitts. Here we go. Here comes Angel Pitts. I know what y'all are thinking and no, I am not a little boy. But it's okay. It works out for me because I get to skip all kind of lines for the bathroom. I can go to anyone I want. lines for the bathroom I can go to anyone I want
Starting point is 00:13:26 that's the price I pay to be androgynous here I don't know if y'all noticed but I've been on a diet been dropping some LB's I've been kicked out of a library for fucking eating librarians said hey there's no food allowed in here I said

And I've sucked a dick before. All right. Well, you can explain yourself on that one. I love it. Time flies when you're having fun, Angel Pitts. How you doing?
Starting point is 00:14:23 How's it going, Tony? Good. How are you? Oh, wait. The General Jeremiah has something to say. Yes, Tony. What is a library? Hell yeah. I believe she meant library.

Starting point is 00:15:28 So why'd you say you sucked a dick? Because I don't think a lot of people will believe me, but I got jaws and they work. Wow. Look at that. There's some real passion there. I would never put those jaws to work. I don't think I've ever doubted someone if they've said they sucked a dick. It's pretty easy to open your mouth.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I'll suck your dick, Jeremiah. Whoa. No, you will not. It's 2018. Jeremiah, I don't know if you have a say in this. It's 2018 Jeremiah I don't know if you have a say in this It's 2018 We're gonna start raping men Nope It's 1776

Starting point is 00:17:25 I'm just taking it in. July 17th. That's, I think, 13 days after your guy's big party, right? It's a July 4th joke for you, anyway. So now you base a lot of your act on that people don't know if you're a boy or a girl. Is that it? A lot of things happen to me, and I write them down,
Starting point is 00:17:47 and I try to make the best out of it as possible. How old are you, Angel? I'm 21. That's awesome. What do you... Fuck yeah, look at a bunch of old people clapping for the age of 21.

Starting point is 00:18:38 Oh, what the fuck? Oh, wait. I've never seen the general smile like that. Look at him. You might be able to get in that house. I've never done this before, but if it's possible, if I could just ask Jeremiah Watkins one question for a second.
Starting point is 00:19:02 I don't even know if I'm allowed to get an answer out of this, but Jeremiah himself. Jeremiah, has a girl ever told you in your life that they're into your nose? It is a fetish for some women. Fuck yeah. I guess some women are just into beaks.

Starting point is 00:22:14 Is that your favorite kind of food cake? No, it's just that, no, it's like my grandma told me a long time ago that, like, I have a... What are you doing back here? He's trying to not laugh. This general is a real stiff. He's hiding his nose so you can focus. I think General Chris needs to do something about it.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Angel, do you ever wear a bra? Hell no. We boycotting that shit all year long. Those things are hanging like motherfuckers. Oh, yeah. Those are just... I'm going to call out the elephants hanging like motherfuckers. Oh, yeah. I'm going to call out the elephants in the room right now. I don't wear bras because

Starting point is 00:23:37 before we get to work because we don't like no crumbs and ice cracks. Goddamn. Battle roast. Do you have any special tricks that you use in the bedroom or anything like that? Like I'm sure there's a lot of,
Starting point is 00:23:50 you know, like guys here that would want some advice. Besides confusion? We like to do that one thing 69. Hell yeah. You're on bottom? But in what order? We like to take turns.
Starting point is 00:24:02 We do rock, paper, scissors. Really? Mostly scissors, I'm betting with you two. Yeah. I have an incredible sex life. I bet you do. No, I can actually feel that. That's sort of what I'm curious about.
Starting point is 00:24:15 But you don't have any special tricks that you think only you do that you could teach us or anything? Like some type of crazy thing that you do with your tongue or anything like that? I always feel like... Let me just share anything like that? I always feel like... Let me just share something with you. I always feel like lesbians have superpowers. I feel like they have to compensate sometimes for a dick
Starting point is 00:24:32 not being there. When it comes to sexual activity, I've always felt like just a mouth might not be enough. Well, that's when a nose comes in handy. Right, exactly. Is that what you want to do with Jeremiah? You just want to use his nose as a dildo? I want to use Jeremiah as my personal rag doll.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Wow. Jeremiah? I really liked your work in the movie Holes. Shit. I've never seen that movie, but that joke fucking killed me. Seems like it's a good joke. She's related to Madame Zeroni. I don't get it, but he's getting massive applause, so I'll let it go.
Starting point is 00:25:09 You fucking love holes more than anybody, right, Angel Pits? A-R-M-P-I to the T. Who you smelling, dog? Yo, that's me. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I don't know what that was. I don't know what it was, but let's never do it again. Ladies and gentlemen, Queef Latifah.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Chris Burning Cross. Okay. Kirk, any other thoughts about Angel? You're in it a few months. You have a great fucking personality. If you really dig deep and just say shit that maybe... Don't try to do what you think will work. Fucking just speak from the heart and see if it works.
Starting point is 00:25:47 When you said the thing about the dick and the sucking it, and I go, what do you mean by the dick? I've had a dick on my mouth. And then you said the jealous thing, you got immediately a bigger laugh than you got in your whole set just by saying something that you probably didn't even think was going to kill that hard, right? So there you go.
Starting point is 00:26:03 That's an example of what my advice is. Here's what I think. You came across very angry, and I don't think you are. I think you're just, you seem like a happy kid. So if you come out and just light up the room and smile, I mean, when you smile, it's funny. So don't come out and just get, just don't get angry. But that's what I'm saying. If you came out and just smiled and didn't even say a word it'd be better than
Starting point is 00:26:31 saying I'm a girl. That confused me and it still does. I get confused when straight dudes hit on me too. Yeah just get out there and talk about what's on your mind. But don't yell at the crowd. Just talk. Angel I think you're very promising. It was nice to meet you tonight. I got high hopes for you. Hell yeah, sure. Angel Pitts. She's on Twitter at Weird Hippie.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Fuck yeah. Let's just keep the whole fun train moving along, shall we? Send your Tumblr to me later. Oh yeah, Brian still wants that Tumblr. Please. She's got good hair. Her hair's alive. More volume than the sound system
Starting point is 00:27:13 here at the comedy store. I pulled another name out of the bucket. This definitely is a new name. Serene Weirasekira. Oh, she's here? Serene Weirasekira. Oh, she's here? Serene Weirasekira. Oh, come on.

Well, I guess it is a little hot in here, so take off all your clothes.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Oh, jeez. Well, I guess it is a little hot in here, so take off all your clothes. Oh, jeez. Okay, so basically the... Oh, I really want to make this movie, Harvey, so if you insist. Okay, well, guys, so the idea of the movie is I'm just going to shut up and... Wow. Oh, jeez. Let me just tell you something, right? Stop, stop, stop, stop. Let me tell you something right here stop stop stop stop
Starting point is 00:29:47 let me tell you something right now out of all the stuff that's ever happened that was the worst you managed to take every note that we've ever given every comedian except for I will give you this fucking nailed the 60 seconds buddy unbelievable un-fucking-real
Starting point is 00:30:02 every other aspect of that. Just the bad old-school Kermit, the predictable everything. Oh, geez, come on. And then you play into it? Like, I mean, how do I work with you every week? It boggles my mind. You creep.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Oh, you fuck. Anyway, so, Michael, what did you think was gonna happen? And why do you walk around With unplugged in headphones? Is that like your voice? Oh, the guy with the headphones, wacky Uh, yeah, no, I just

Starting point is 00:31:22 right? Yeah. And then you just go with him slowly taking his clothes off to Kermit. Fuck it, yeah. Fuck it, yeah? As in, fuck it, I don't care how... If we had another minute,
Starting point is 00:31:33 would they have ended up fucking? I mean, that's up to Harvey. I think so. I think Kermit would have really wanted the movie to get made. You seem really wound up. You always that way? I feel like you've always sort of been, like, antsy on this show. Like, you have, like, shit in your hands.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Like, that's... This is what I look like, dude, when I'm literally on mushrooms. Like, it's not like a joke. I always have to have, like, water in one hand, like, my charger cord in another. Fucking headphones. I'm, like, freaking out. Did you know you still had the headphones on?
Starting point is 00:32:05 Is this something like you were in a hurry to leave your house? Yeah, well, I'm like way in the back of the corner. You just have two names that aren't here.

Starting point is 00:32:18 The Muppets. He was listening to the Muppets. Yeah, I was just trying to get the voice right. Yeah, everybody knows you got to get that fucking first grade Kermit the Frog impression down. But I like how he even said it's Kermit the Frog, but he said that in Kermit's voice. That threw me. I never recovered from that. Michael, what do you do for a living?
Starting point is 00:32:40 Well, I used to work at the improv. Until you did that Kermit the Frog thing. No. They're like, you can hop your own ass right. Until you did that Kermit the Frog for me. No. You can hop your own ass right on out of here, Kermit. No. Somebody told me that when you trip on acid, it only lasts four hours. So before one of my shifts... Are you fucking serious?
Starting point is 00:32:56 I don't lie up here. If you remember the last time I was here. Go ahead. Keep saying what you were saying. Yeah. So... You should think about lying up here. Should I? Okay. Acid acid four hours. Well, yeah, so it's a little bit longer than that. Is it happening right now? Are you on it right now?
Starting point is 00:33:11 I wish, man. That would be a lot better. So, okay, so you did acid. Somebody told you it lasted four hours. Right, so I'm responsible and I try to go to work. Right. But in, like, the last five minutes, the trip hits real hard. The last five minutes?

Starting point is 00:55:08 Wow. Independent contractor. I like the sound of that. We had a lager shed back where I'm from. When you work in Vegas, you actually have to get a license. So you have to be licensed and do background checks. You have to have a business license. Vegas is no joke.
Starting point is 00:55:25 It's a lot different than LA. Hell yeah. This is good to know. Yeah. Do you miss it? Do you miss stripping? You know, I've always been on stage. So, I mean, it was silly.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Like, I thought, I think it's silly. I've got to be honest with you. This is the longest I've listened to a stripper with her clothes on. But it's good. It's good for me to try. I'm glad I could be here for it. I feel like we're having a real conversation. I'm looking in your eyes.
Starting point is 00:55:56 We're making eye contact. It's good. Good, man. One of them's lazy. It's looking at your tits. It's just with my lazy eye. Perfect. You know where the money is.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Rita, you are a hot older lady. You have a boyfriend right now? I do. Yeah? How long have you been with him? Six years. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Is he like cats? Dude, yeah. He's like a cat master. He's amazing. He's like a 6'3", 250-pound Canadian biker. Say that one more time. He's 6'3". He's about 250. He's got a beard like nobody's amazing. He's like a 6'3", 250-pound Canadian biker. Say that one more time. He's 6'3", he's about 250, he's got a beard like nobody's business. He collects vintage Harleys, and he's an editor.
Starting point is 00:56:32 How much weights can he lift? Now is he holding you hostage? No. How much weights can he lift? He has a bad back. General Jeremiah, I don't think you can auction off Canadian bikers No Do you have an open relationship?
Starting point is 00:56:50 No Yeah, right Brian She's just going to come over and start fucking you You're not in an open relationship Ready to do my shot Because if you were, I'd be pounding that Some people that are in a relationship with strippers Usually have open relationships.
Starting point is 00:57:06 That's how they get through it. Thanks to Brian Redband's school of business, I have no debt. Nope. Oh, shit. So he's got a big beard, six foot two guy. Does he have any special
Starting point is 00:57:25 Before I went to Brian Redband's School of Business My life was in shambles But then I got the advice From the great Brian Redband
Starting point is 00:57:33 On how to cam How to upload podcasts How to do keto For a week And more. Does the six foot two Canadian biker do? Does he do anything crazy in the bedroom? Does he have any special moves?
Starting point is 00:57:55 Anything like that? Canadian biker? Does he apologize after he comes or anything like that? No, it's all pretty standard. We've been together for six years. We know what we like. Different people. Stand-up is something that you always wanted to do?
Starting point is 00:58:16 Yeah, totally. I grew up watching Carol Burnett on variety shows. Carol Burnett used to be a stripper also. She started out. With the Apple Dumpling Gang. Yeah, so it's something I always wanted to do. I love being on stage. I love talking to people.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Like, life's a party and I love entertaining and if you're going to hang out with me, I want you to have a good time and that includes being on stage. Fuck yeah! Oh, he's begging for it. It's pathetic. Yes.

Starting point is 01:01:02 Put your hands together for Nick Country, everyone. Nick Country. Oh, shit. Yeah. Here we go. Uh-oh. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 01:01:19 I remember this guy. He's been on once before. It's probably not the best episode for him to be pulled out of the bucket right now. Not much momentum going into this. Here we go, Nick Country. For those of you who saw my last performance here, you know I'm crazy, crackers, nuts, loony, wacky. I got a screw loose. I flew over the cuckoo's nest. I'm mad, I tell you. Stop raving mad. I'm mad as a hatter. Let me tell you something. I love crazy chicks. I pick up all my chicks in mental institutions. Because one, crazy chicks are great in bed,
Starting point is 01:02:06 and two, I love the rush I get the next morning when they're chasing me around with a knife or baseball bat. I've crashed through locked doors. I've jumped off balconies. You know what's better than an orgasm? Throwing a crazy bitch through a glass door. I've had lengthy hospital stays. Medical hospital stays. Medical hospital
Starting point is 01:02:26 stays. Is that with your meow? Alright. There you go. Nick Country. Coming in aggressive. Here, don't face me like that, Nick. Face them. Face them. You don't have to square up. The fuck are we

What tavern? Chroma Chris! to see you outside of Moe's Tavern for once. What tavern? Oh, Chrome of Chris. Ladies and gentlemen, Chrome of Chris has been on like
Starting point is 01:03:49 35 episodes. I think that's the first time he's ever said anything funny. Make some noise. You just witnessed history. For those of you that bet in Vegas that he would say something funny before the five-year anniversary, he won. Millions of dollars.
Starting point is 01:04:07 He waited five years. He was waiting for his spot. Nick Country. What country, Nick? Not my country. Nick, as I was saying, you have an interesting look to you. You said that you meet your girls at the mental institution. Is there any truth to that?
Starting point is 01:04:30 No. What's the last date that you went on? It's been a while. Hold on. Give him a shot. Give him a shot here. Let's wait. It's been a while.
Starting point is 01:04:41 It's been a while. Yes. What was the slave's name? I'm poor, so I don't have a lot of money to go out with girls. You know your back's towards the whole entire audience. You might want to kind of swoop around or something. You're facing the wrong way. Look at them.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Look at them over there. Oh, you're going to go sideways like you're on a coin or something like that? Yeah, there you go. That's the right way, Nick. You can still look at me if you want, but I just didn't like how you were squared up. It's like a sundial. Nick, you said you're poor. That's why you haven't been on a date in a while.
Starting point is 01:05:13 What do you do for a living? Right now, I'm on disability. Okay, okay. No, stop, stop, stop. I used to do drafting and design work for engineering companies. Wait, what is disability? They pay you for being disabled. We kill people for being disabled.
Starting point is 01:05:35 What is wrong with this country? So you draw for a living, correct? I paint and I sculpt. What was that? You paint and you sculpt. I'm an artist. With the blood of your victims. I don't make money out of it though. I haven't. I thought you said you were into drafting. Oh I do drafting and design work for engineering companies. I used to do that. But you're on disability for what reason? For
Starting point is 01:05:59 depression. Yeah. Nothing wrong with that. Why would you be depressed man? You got it all. I what? You have it all. I have it all. That's true. You just have to believe it. I believe it.
Starting point is 01:06:14 Hell yeah. So, you're just depressed? That's how you would put it? That's it? Yeah. That was the diagnosis? Nothing else? Well, then there's some paranoia.
Starting point is 01:06:23 Yeah. What'd you fucking say? Oh, I see. Was that a joke? Then some schizophrenia. Is that a joke? What was that? Are you being serious over here, Nick?
Starting point is 01:06:34 What was that? Don't say that. Why not? Okay. Oh, so it's a joke. So what? It's an attempt at a joke. And borderline disorder.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Nick, do you hear what's happening right now? Are you listening to anything? Tony, I will not ask again. Order me and I will take the shot. I got dyslexia. Nick, over here. I spent most of my life in Vienna being studied by a team of psychiatrists. Is that true?
Starting point is 01:07:02 You fucking twerp. I've never had somebody with so many disabilities annoy me so fucking much. I don't care what your fucking doctor tells you. Is anything you have said true besides the depression? No. That could be what's causing the depression.
Starting point is 01:07:17 Everything I say is true. Is it? Everything. Let's get off the subject. Can you fucking listen for a second? Why? I promise you none of the shit you're saying is really killing right now. everything so okay let's get off the subject listen for a second why listen really i promise you none of the shit you're saying is really killing right now so just listen when you say that you've been uh paranoid like what have you been paranoid about i'm curious i think everybody here is depression than paranoia more depression just depression so now it's just depression this is a fucking tough interview nick you understand You understand me? Deep depression. Deep depression. How long have you been depressed?
Starting point is 01:07:46 It's been a few years. Several years. The first time he saw a mirror. Oh, Jesus Christ. Did something trigger it? Yep. Did something happen that triggered it? Did you get your heart broken?
Starting point is 01:08:00 Well, it's just I'm a very creative person. I'm an artist. I paint. I sculpt. I'm an artist. I paint. I sculpt. I was working jobs. I weren't able to do my art form and my artwork, and I just got really depressed. Do you paint and sculpt a lot now? Mostly I work on comedy, but I do some painting and sculpting, yes.
Starting point is 01:08:18 You go up regularly? You do stand-up like every night? Four or five times a week usually. And I'm planning on writing a script actually, a comedy script. Yeah, what's your script going to be about? It's called a suicide note. It's going to be something, you know, they say everything's been done before, but I think this is something that's probably like never been done before.
Starting point is 01:08:41 I've never seen anything like it. Is it about two guys, one's dumb and the other's dumber? No, it's not that. Do you know how you could fight your depression a little? Let me just tell you as a friend. If you came out on stage and just started talking
Starting point is 01:08:57 the way you're talking to us now, it would be the first step toward you actually finding out why you're depressed. You have all these characters and you think it's all funny, but none of it is funny. But I've got to tell you, you're a nice guy. You're sweet. And you've just got to believe it and you've got to get up there
Starting point is 01:09:16 and just start talking about what's going on in your mind. And if you're really depressed, start talking to a room about your depression. And then you'll find out that you have no need to be. You're healthy. You're strong. You drove here. Thank you. Thank you very much. No, because I've seen you at some of the open mics, because I go there.
Starting point is 01:09:36 It's fun. And you're always just attacking yourself instead of just loving who you are. Give it a shot. Even right now, it's tough for you to even take this. It's tough. Right. But it's okay because we're all in it together.
Starting point is 01:09:53 It's a tricky time to be alive. But you just got to fucking get up there and know that you're enough. All right? Right. All right? Thank you. He's absolutely right. I remember last time I was on, you asked me about I do voices.
Starting point is 01:10:09 Yeah. And I forgot to do my old man voice. You want to hear it? Okay, sure. What's your old man voice? Let's get off this stuff. Maybe if it comes from your heart. I asked this old man his age. But do me a favor.
Starting point is 01:10:19 Why don't you look out at the crowd that you're trying to connect with? There he is. Nick Country, ladies and gentlemen. And for those of you listening to the podcast, the whole audience just turned the other direction. No, I'm kidding. Nick Country doing the old man voice. I asked this old man his age.
Starting point is 01:10:35 He said, I'm an old man. I don't like being at my age. I'm wearing a diaper and I can't get it up. Kirk Fox takes back everything he just said I like that you know why? because that was actually a character and it failed
Starting point is 01:10:54 but it wasn't who you were and it was the first time your hand wasn't shaking when you were talking about something so maybe that's an indicator that you're on the right track can I just give a general note if people are going to be doing
Starting point is 01:11:10 impressions? Can I just say can you just stop saying I'm this and then going into it? If the impression requires you to say I'm this, you need to write more. That's a general note for anybody
Starting point is 01:11:26 doing any character or impression. If you say, I'm this. And last thing, what's your last name? Country. What's your real last name? Country. Is it? Yes. See, now I know you're lying to me. No, I'm not.
Starting point is 01:11:42 Want to see my driver's license? Wait a second. Your real name is Brendan Dassey. Do you Want to see my driver's license? Wait a second. Your real name is Brendan Dassey. Do you want to see my driver's license? No, if it's really country, then I stand corrected. Okay. If you're Nick Country, then be Nick Country. Hell yeah. I love that.
Starting point is 01:11:58 For a second I thought perhaps Kirk was FBI and he was about to arrest you there. Your last name's not Country. Get on the ground. All right. You're going to be all right. Just get out there and love, all right? Nick, I completely, completely agree with what Kirk was saying. When I was trying to find out things about you, you just kept naming mental health things.
Starting point is 01:12:18 But you've got to be honest and real and face your shit spot on. The androgynous comedian that was on earlier said that she was an angel. Rita's talking about being divorced. Something that's probably not easy for her to talk about. You know what I mean? It's stuff that's personal to
Starting point is 01:12:37 them. You're coming out with all that energy, but like Kirk said, that's not really it seems like who you are. So give other stuff... Like, I like this guy who's listening right now. Find out who that is. Even that laugh, I don't mind.
Starting point is 01:12:54 It scares most people. Like, you could be, you know, you could give some depressed people a voice out there, you know what I mean? You could do, like, the extremely blue extremely blue collar comedy tour or something like that. I got to be honest. There's a lot of mentally disturbed people out there.
Starting point is 01:13:11 You're not one of them. If you're getting up there and you're making fun of it, you're really doing a disservice to yourself. How much weights can you lift? He's not for sale. He's not for sale. Just keep writing, Nick. Nick Country country ladies and gentlemen there he goes holy shit you know we should just change the uh change the vibe in this room let's go with a ringer shall we we have a regular on this show he writes and performs a
Starting point is 01:13:41 new 60 seconds every single week uh it's so fun to watch him perform and grow. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the great and powerful Malcolm Hatchet. Yeah. What's up, y'all? Yeah. I was born a crack baby. And I realized I was a crack baby in elementary because, you know, when I sneeze, crack would come out of my nose. And one time I sneezed in class and my teacher seen it fall on the floor.
Starting point is 01:14:15 He said, hey, man, if this shit don't get me high, you going to get suspended. My teacher got so high, he looked at me and said, out of my 15 years of teaching, you my favorite student. I got an aunt, she steal all the time. She be stealing from Walmart and returning it like she don't know how the fuck she got it. And you know when black people steal, they lie. I don't know, I didn't take it. But when she steal and they play the cameras back, she surprised, you know, because it's on TV, so she thinks she on TV. And one time my aunt stole the TV
Starting point is 01:14:46 from Walmart and took it back. She said, look, I don't know how I got this, but it's in my house and I need my money back. She's like, look, we got you on TV. She was like, oh, shit, I made it. I'm on TV. I just walked right by the security guard. Motherfucking Malcolm Hatchet. Was that it? No, no.

I did see that. I saw an entire string of stories where you ended up at Aphrodite's place. She made you chicken and biscuits. Yeah, cake.

Aphrodite and Malcolm bonding over fried chicken. Where are you from? North Carolina. I never thought I would see a moment like this. Two of them talking in public together.
Starting point is 01:17:16 From North Carolina. You've been out here, what, like nine months? It's going to be ten months at the end of this month. Ten months? Nine months. That's a baby right there. You're funny, man. You're it.

There's a lot of reasons why people are bad with money. Some people gamble, gamble on things like college sports. I don't gamble on college sports, not since I gambled on a college degree. I went to a private art school.

Starting point is 01:27:42 It's low maintenance. I don't really have to do anything to it. There's a little bit of bullshit there. Really, there's not anything I do. It kind of does what it wants, correct? Yeah. It seems to be. Wow.
Starting point is 01:27:57 That's interesting. All right, Josh. Well, what else in life? Any hobbies of yours? Anything that you're good at? You seem like you'd be like a master chess player or something. I played chess when I was younger. Don't do that anymore.

Starting point is 01:28:56 I do sketches. You ever get into any arguments with comedians when you're out at open mics? No, but there's a lot of stuff that I not a lot of stuff, but there's just like stuff you'll see that you're like, ah man, I wish they'd stop doing that. Like what? Like hosts saying like I'm going to keep moving it along and then do a two minute bit between bringing out the next
Starting point is 01:29:15 comic. That's the worst. I don't know. Have you ever thought about cutting your hair? Like have you ever thought about going short at all? No. No, that's forever. You're going to do that forever. I mean, it'll fall out when it's time. What if you cut it all off? What's under there? Just you?

Starting point is 01:30:09 Should we do it? This lady right here, what do you say? This angry substitute teacher right here is fucking miserable, clearly here, because her boyfriend likes the show.

Starting point is 01:30:29 Yeah. There's a few good ones in here. This book is called Things That Should Exist But Do Not. You should have just got out and read some of these. No. I pulled another name out of the bucket. Put your hands together for Dan Donahue.
Starting point is 01:30:45 Dan Donahue. Dan Donahue. Is this Dan Donahue? Here he comes. I believe it's his first time on the show. Make some noise for Dan Donahue, everybody. What is up? My name's Dan. I used to work at a graveyard, which is a great job if you don't have a lot of morals,
Starting point is 01:31:10 but do need a lot of flowers. One of the best jobs in the world under those circumstances. Worst part about working that job, poorly attended funerals. Very worst part of working at a graveyard, poorly attended funerals, which there are a lot of those. There are a lot of poorly attended. Don't look at me like that. Yours is going to be great.
Starting point is 01:31:29 But these other people, these losers would have poorly attended funerals. And at a poorly attended funeral, I don't know if you knew this, workers at the graveyard had to work as pallbearers, which taught me something important about life, which is life is not a competition about who has the most friends or who doesn't have a lot of friends, right? But have six. At all times, at all stages in your life, have six friends. Have six friends or have four very strong friends. Fuck yeah. Dan Donahue, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 01:32:05 It's your first time on the show, right? Yes, it is. Fuck yeah. Dan Donahue, ladies and gentlemen. It's your first time on the show, right? Yes, it is. All right. I'm going to take a guess about you. I'm going to say you've been doing stand-up for four months, and you're from somewhere between Indianapolis and Philadelphia. Wrong on both. Well, no.
Starting point is 01:32:19 Boston. But, no, I've been doing it for like two years. Two years. Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, yeah, I can see that That's a good, okay I can see that
Starting point is 01:32:27 Why would you stop working at a graveyard? Why would you stop that job? It was through like a work program when I was 13 So it like had to stop You know, it was like a summer job Oh yeah Was that weird? Talk about being buried up to your head
Starting point is 01:32:42 I thought it was more recent So that was a summer job when you were 13. Yeah, summer job when I was 13. Yeah, yeah. It lost a little of the mystique. Did you see anything weird when you worked there? Like, was there anything creepy? Oh, tons.
Starting point is 01:32:52 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, well, the weirdest part was, like, the workers there. Like, they would steal stuff from the tops of graves and stuff, like, all the time. Wow. Yeah. Stuff that they would leave for the corpse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, for the memory of the time. Stuff that they would leave for the corpse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, for the memory of the corpse.
Starting point is 01:33:09 Did you ever see anyone fuck a corpse? Was that a bad question? You guys aren't thinking that? It was on everyone's mind. It's quite the undertaking. But you were 13. You probably wouldn't know. I probably wouldn't know.
Starting point is 01:33:22 No, no, no. So someone probably did this. I've had sex with a corpse. Her name is Martha, and she's my wife. Wait, you've been George Washington this whole time? Is that true? Yeah. Can we start over?
Starting point is 01:33:34 I find out with five minutes left in the show that he's been the first president of the United States. This is like a young George Washington? No. It was a very popular name. The Martha's a coincidence. There's a lot of Marthas out there. Dan, so you started in Boston? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:53 You live here now? I live here now. I moved here like four weeks ago. Four weeks ago. You guys are welcome, man. That's why I thought you'd been doing it a few months. You only have four weeks of L.A. comedy. You still got hope. of L.A. comedy. You still got hope.
Starting point is 01:34:06 You got that twinkle. Yeah, a glimmer of hope in my eyes. It'll be gone soon. Hell yeah. So you've been here four weeks. Do you live by yourself? Yeah, by myself. Well, that's cool.
Starting point is 01:34:18 So you saved up a lot of money. Yeah, a good amount. That's cool. And I work here, too. What do you do? What was your job in Boston? I did temp stuff in Boston, which was terrible. And then I moved here, and I work in a factory now.

When you hear that, how long do you have to get to work? Probably like half an hour or so. Are you a side sleeper or do you sleep on your back?
Starting point is 01:35:14 Good question. It gives me a lot to work with. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Back sleeper, baby. Back sleeper? You must not smoke cigarettes. No, I don't.
Starting point is 01:35:22 No. Should I start? No. Not if you're a back sleeper. Fair enough. You have some factory jokes about something more current than when you were 13? No, not really. No.
Starting point is 01:35:31 Working in a factory is pretty much just bad. Like, there's nothing exciting. What's wrong with working in a factory? Nothing. Oh, good. I'm sorry. Precise. Dan, how old are you?

Starting point is 01:36:01 Do you just do it in the car or do you go places? What? Excuse me? You just drive around doing stand-up? In the car or do you stop? And checking out. California is incredible. Just checking out everywhere. I went up to Santa Barbara and stuff.
Starting point is 01:36:18 It's good. A lot of comedy up there. So you drove to Santa Barbara. What did you do? Where did you stop along the way? I went to a casino to do stand-up at a casino. You just went to that casino and said, listen, I used to work in a graveyard. I got 10 minutes on courses. It's just like a loop over and over again, just this situation, different places.
Starting point is 01:36:38 I know what you're up to. Your loop is contagious. Yeah. Did you win any money that night? At the casino? No, I didn't gamble. It's very creepy to me, gambling. Wait, say that again?
Starting point is 01:36:51 It's like gambling is creepy to me. Gambling is creepy to you, why? You're creepy to me. Not just you, apparently. No, yeah. I don't know. You just look at people and they look very unhappy doing something that seems like it's... And they're alive.
Starting point is 01:37:05 You should probably look at your cards. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Instead of the people. You have a little speech impediment, huh? I do, yeah. Slur. Yeah, yeah, yeah. By choice or is that an action?
Starting point is 01:37:14 I love slurs. Oh. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little slur. Had it my whole life. It's okay. Have you thought about fixing it?
Starting point is 01:37:25 I was in special ed my whole life to fix it. Is that true? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Special ed. Special ed, yeah. Well, learning support, they called it, but that was kind of just to soften the flow. Are they still supporting you?
Starting point is 01:37:37 No, not so, unfortunately. I like that. Did they just put you in that because you sound like that, or do you sound like that because you were special? Yeah, no. Yeah, I went there to just make friends. No, I went there because it was like I had dyslexia and stuff too. Did most of the other kids in special support work at the graveyard with you?
Starting point is 01:37:58 Yeah, yeah, that's why. They tried to scare it out of you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, with the last resort. Do you have a dyslexic heart? A dyslexic heart? No, never mind. It's an old 80s song.
Starting point is 01:38:11 Holy fucking shit, Brian. That old 80s song is a good one. I always love the last 30 minutes of this show every week when he just throws the soundboard out the window
Starting point is 01:38:20 and starts asking dumb questions. Brian would have been with you in that class. Actually, I was in that class. I also slur my words. I was also in one of those classes. Hell yeah. Is that true? So this is where I end up, right there. It comes out after I drink.
Starting point is 01:38:34 My training goes out the window. Oh, you do say a one word. World and all that shit like that. I slur a lot still. Never goes away. Who cares? Birds of a feather, man but it never goes away. Who cares? Beautiful. Birds of a feather, man.
Starting point is 01:38:48 Birds of a feather. Fuck yeah. I think he wants to flock together. Special ed, baby. Birds of something. I don't know what you were trying to say. General Jeremiah Watkins. No, I was just going to appreciate the chemistry of this interview.
