fucking awesome
i mean i i usually watch it pretty much every monday it's like really it's a it's
a very well
structured show and dude one thing i'll say the best sets that i've had on
stage um in a club this
year were at the mothership i think because there's no phones oh so you know
you're safe yeah
so your brain knows you're safe and i think your brain is like more liable to
do its best work if
it knows that it's not going to be compromised or it can be it can get
something wrong yeah you know
and acoustically it sounds good too yeah yeah it's great down there it's fun
comfortable but yeah this
kill tony's unbelievable dude um he had the other night i'm watching there's 81
000 people watching
at the same time oh live 81 000 do you know how hard it is to get 81 000 people
instagram live i pull a
dick out and i'm maybe a 3 000 maybe yeah that's crazy well it's the biggest
live podcast it's fucking
awesome it's huge it's un kudos to him it's launching careers and i mean kudos
to red band
yeah it's uh it's unbelievable it's the gong show yeah yeah and i mean it's uh
it's america's got
people you know but that's also what it is it's like the laugh factory open mic
got really weird for
a while like when i was doing it early on like 2015 it's like because people
were flying from florida
it'd be like this is my one chance at making it in hollywood yeah so now i
think kill tony's that
where yeah it's a lot of austin comics but it's also people who are flying in
from fucking chugwater
wyoming to be like today's my day yeah and it might be some people get up there
and they're in front of
a million people 81 000 live and they have no material they're up there just
like i just want to
say hi tony but it's like yeah like you said it's like america's got talent you
want to see people
bomb you want to see people do good and the the hilarity of it too is they give
them one minute
right which is you're not you can't it's impossible it's so hard yeah and then
then they get to
rip the guy of fucking 11 new assholes yeah for 20 minutes professional
comedian versus a guy who
was told he was funny at a gender reveal six months ago i mean this structure
is like so in favor of
tony that's why and tony's so good at it tony is so fucking funny and quick
with it but yeah to do a
minute like i was talking about doing five minutes at the arena show a minute
in front of like to get
a premise out where people like right off the bat like you i mean dude i mean i
was you you've been a
judge on it right how quiet the crowd gets when that person grabs a mic to
start their minute i mean
it is dead silent i was right next to this guy he was bombing i could feel the
pulse in his dick
just scribbling up i mean dude i mean this guy went up and immediately insulted
the crowd
and i it i just had like the secondhand embarrassment you could feel everybody
turn
so quick on it dude i mean like yeah it's so tough it's so the odds you've been
successful and then
they literally rip they have no chill for anybody to go to the guy i forget
what he was wearing but he
had like a like a button-up t-shirt maybe you can scroll around keep going but
he walks out and
immediately insults the audience and the thing with the show is like this show
is so big and their fans
are so loyal that these people love tony they love the show so you insult it no
not that guy he was
actually really sweet looked like johnny sins it might have been earlier i wish
i had the fucking apple
provisions uh keep going wow how would that help you right now because i could
scroll up my face and
fucking do a little thing and find it keep going this guy opens and he
literally insults the crowd
and then just proceeds to eat shit for a minute it's coming up it's it might be
after this guy it's not
it might be after david yeah i mean it's launching careers like people are
getting known people you know
cam patterson i want to go spend time with this guy go to the beginning of a
set he's i love cam cam's
really funny good dude go to the beginning dude i mean you can feel how tense
it is up there
what's going on y'all oh thank you uh you ugly people uh thank you for coming
out i appreciate
that um i know what you're thinking why is my gta drug dealer but you have 300
people just
you know um because then you're just setting yourself up for just ugly people i
wonder what
inside of him made him think that that was just good nervous yeah and it is a
roast show so you're
kind of like off the yeah there's a blind dude there yeah it's a painted that
one got black that
got into black they edit that in yeah sunny on brian simpson yeah that's good
and then here's the
crazy part they have the it's jim norton right there they have the black brian
they have uh brian
simpson's basically the black red band yeah you don't know what's going on here
dude it's so good
i saw an episode recently this guy went up there and opened with like oh it's
great to be on like
america's got talent like trailer park edition and then ate shit for a minute
and the second
minute was up tony was like huh america's the trash version and then you just
bought like i think that
the everybody is there for tony in the show so when you talk shit about the
show yeah and you haven't
earned it like they turn on you so quickly you gotta respect it but like being
next that you could
just feel how tense it was i mean to do a minute i mean it's it's it's a
fucking god-awful format for
a new stand-up but if you do well it launches your career well it's just
amazing what they're doing
it's amazing that they that's they're doing that with a table yeah a couple of
cameras and a comedy
stage a table they're fucking set up it's a you know yeah it's a podcast yeah
they used that for
a potluck the other day yeah they're probably gonna try and get bought out but
like the how the show is
right now is perfect and like you really don't need to change anything honestly
yeah i mean in why
yeah if you could travel with that show for the next couple years and do it on
the road and dude it's
it's huge i can recognize for being on that show more than just not more but
but just like random
somebody's like oh i saw you on kill tony it's like yeah oh it's the number one
thing that i hear
people say a lot just like oh that kind of just surprised me like oh yeah we
just flew to austin
for kill tony yeah well it's also a big uh there's a big community in it where
like it's almost exciting
where like the reddit will kind of go crazy oh i heard theo's the guest on on
this week's episode
because since they bank shoot they don't really know but it's like oh theo's in
austin
that people start doing the dots and shit putting things up yeah it's kind of
like a fun because it
brings all corners of the comedy world in it and there's those characters it's
like a reality show
honestly yeah you want to see them want to see what's going on with their life
yeah man um and they have
crazy moments that rick flair moment where he just said i'm going to bed or
whatever that he didn't
understand the concept of it yeah was he hammered he's just like hey stop
roasting these people
it's like uh i will never say anything bad about a veteran i felt bad
that's like tony's icon right there too he loves rick flair i was like i'm not
a veteran
it was like i'll go into bed um he uh the one there was one the other day with
mark norman that
was so funny dude it's all great moments on there yeah that's rick flair
leaving um yeah what else do
you think about doing a film or do you start to piece any stuff like i know you
were talking about
doing a tv show at one point yeah i've pitched some stuff i'm kind of working
with a few people on
on something but i think my main focus is anything that i can make i don't want
to be
like there's too many uh i guess roadblocks going to some of these so i'll show
interest if somebody
wants to work with me i'll be like hey i'm down but like you got to come to me
like this is what i'm
working on so you got to like equal that or like meet me halfway i think yeah
so i'm doing a lot of
that but really just trying to elevate what i'm already doing just shoot more
sketches put out
more try different formats uh youtube's in a weird place where it's like what
they want is very
different it's very like like sketch comedy i wouldn't say it's dead but it's
not in the forefront
you know people want to be talked to you know they want to like if you want to
do stuff to a camera like
if i was doing a sketch instead of being like me and you in the sketch i would
just do like
pov and then the camera is you just like talking to me because people just want
to be talked to
so i don't really know what the is going on the internet like i i think i do
and then i post
something and then a week later it's not really that so i don't really yeah it's
tough to know
it's tough to know and it's tough to know if it's just like a lull in the vibe
that week of humanity
people are studying for exams or people are taking them away on vacation or
something it's hard to
know what's up power outage in little rock you never really know sometimes i
think about going
down austin though for a while yeah yeah just because there is a sense there's
an energy down
there that's exciting it is exciting you know one of my openers chance willie
is moving down there
from nashville yeah um and there's just an energy there it's like yeah it's fun
you go up in the
room with ron white sitting in there shane gillis is there now you know um dylan
pops in and out
would you ever get just like a small little like condo over there that's what i
think i'd probably do just
get a house or a small house or just something real well something nothing
fancy or anything
just a place where i could go and be there and maybe try it for a month or two
you know
