No, I don't know anything about that knife. This is probably awesome though. Josh Smith runs it. I think they're probably the only, it's not the only, certainly the best. American made knives in Montana. Oh, so sweet. Wow. So that's a good custom knife that I had to make. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Wow. Holy shit. What's in there? Wow. Damn. Look at that. Wow. Wow. Wow. The director of national intelligence. Just now we get told that it's like cool or what? Wow. Oh boy. Oh boy. Cut the devil himself. Wow. That is so fucking cool. I love a good sharp knife. I'm going to use the hell out of this. Thank you. I love it. That is so cool. I'd love to get to show you guys my place sometime. You'd be shocked at my overwhelming amount of patriotism. It's a rare, rare bird nowadays, I guess. How are you buddy? Good to see you. The ape design. Oh my god. I literally have, I was just going to say in my entrance way. Oh my god. This is so fucking cool. Because in my entrance way, I have a trophy case that has all the coins that I've ever been given by any officer or the secret service all the way up. And my god, if this isn't the coolest fucking thing. The director of national intelligence here at a wacky comedy show. No big deal. I grew up doing Brazilian martial arts both couple of times. And when you get your first belt, they give you a Brazilian Portuguese nickname. And so my nickname was Leo, which means Linus. Wow. Which is, you know, the protector and the provider. So that's the symbols down the forehead in the middle is the white symbol for warrior. And the ape designed this, you know, being the Hawaii, the lioness is rising from the ocean. And the waves are forming a heart to mark the warrior's heart. Wow. And then there's eight rays of sunshine that mark in my old job, a commitment to transparency truth. And I was the eighth director of intelligence. Oh my god. Wow. Wow. Oh my god. I love it. That is baller as fuck. I love this shit. I swear to god, you wouldn't believe it if I showed you. Even just my entrance way. You'd be like, wow, I didn't even know. This is a perfect fit. Thank you so much. Hell yeah. Thank you. Of course. You guys are the best always. Absolutely. It's going to be a really, really funny show. It's too great. Yes. Yeah. And three regulars I have are super solid. So it's going to be great. Are you spending more time here? I feel like every time I look at somewhere else. Actually, I've been spending a lot more time here, but the other stuff's so big when I do it, that it's crazy. I just did Madison Square Garden for the third year in a row, two weekends ago, and that takes, from me, it takes two months to reach. And especially the last few weeks, it really, really, really, I've got so much pressure on myself and I'm so out of it. I'm so out of it. Is that what your comedian say his trauma makes you wonder? It is true. All the greats have it. Have it. And yeah. You can't buy it. So you got to just have it. Hopefully it all works out. But yeah, I mean, other than that, the road has been, I'm trying to avoid it like the plague is, it's just so exhausting. Like, something about 30,000 feet in the air. I think one day we'll find out that it wasn't good for us. I don't think it's natural. It's natural. I was trying to look for my friend. Yeah, I heard of him. He's an angel. He's an angel.
Johnson is girlfriend and did that calculation that that one flight to Sydney or whatever took off like 14 hours of his life. Oh, that's great. Now I've flown there seven times. I think so that's perfect. Joe go ahead. What are you done? That's Joe White everybody. Look at Joe White. You're perfect. You're killing it, Joe. You're the man. You know Tulsi? Joe White, our photographer. Our first venue here. Joe, how old are you now? 181. 181 years old. Every time I ask and we do a joke where he increases it by one. So you look great for 181, Joe. What's your secret? What kind of cigarettes you smoke? Perfect. Perfect. You're killing it, buddy. I think they still make Paul Miles. Just like me. Oh, yeah, I love you, Joe. Hello there. You know every week I watch people come up here and absolutely destroy their self-esteem. Unfortunately, Morgan and Morgan cannot help with that. But if you're actually injured because of someone else's negligence now, that's a different story. Isn't that the truth, Heidi? My goodness. Morgan and Morgan have been fighting for the people for more than 35 years. They've got more than 1000 lawyers, 100 offices nationwide. And they've recovered over 35 billion dollars for their clients. Red band. So if your car gets totaled, you get hurt at work or somebody else's bad decision becomes your very expensive problem, you can shut out Morgan and Morgan. No doubt about it. And let me tell you right now, you can go to forthepeople.com/tony to start your claim. Their fee is free unless they win. And again, hurt feelings do not count. Let me remind you, they've won a lot of people a lot of money. And it's not easy to make a lot of money these days. So go out there and just basically use them to make yourself some money. Find anything you can do. Make some money by using Morgan and Morgan. If you have to you know, create your own situation, then do it. And use them. Make some money. Go to Morgan and Morgan. Go to forthepeople.com/tony so that they know that we sent you. And you know, get yourself a little something extra. Like these things you can buy with money. On a day that's true, but a day that's sunny. Take it off with my hands, put it up on sale. They can do it like me. When it's all going up like I burn in fever. My feet all look good like a super filler. Yeah. And I don't know much, but I know this one thing. I crave a real connection. I like to turn the page where my hands and my nails, they match by some shade. So call that superficial. Do you want to touch the floor? But I'm a material lover. Yeah. I'm a material lover. I want a real feeling. When I step out, I didn't see what's happening. It's not fair, not fair. It's a pattern. When I go too far, we come back quickly.

We now have the record. I have the record of the most comedy hours performed in Madison Square Garden. Yeah. We passed up Sebastian Manescalco's 10, one hours with hitting 14 hours by doing it to three hour long show that many times. And plus I did stand up for one hour on that stage last year doing stand up only. And I did a 15 minute opening set for Joe Rogan right after COVID. It was delayed because of COVID. It's funny because COVID happened. I'm like, oh my God, I'm not going to get to open up for Joe. I'm at Madison Square Garden. It's just crazy. I got kept getting delayed and pushed back. And every time I was devastated, little did I know that I would end up there after like literally doing it more than anybody ever there. It's so crazy. So crazy. Very surreal to go from. I'm not going to get to do this 15 minute opening spot to six times selling out the garden. It's so crazy. And it all really happened because we got the fuck out about like new tier and it said something about the show. You know, if it was Killtony Live from Los Angeles the last five or six years, it just feels, you know, Austin feels naughty. Somebody might have a gun or something. Everybody. Yeah, exactly. I went to a gun show. Wait until you guys go to your first real Texas gun show. There's one coming up next to you. Oh my God, you're going to have so much fucking fun. I swear to God, my buddy's like, you know, I'm going to take you to a gun show. I'm going to take you to a gun show. I'm like, I don't know. It's finally the day. I'm like, I'm hung over. He's like, shut the fuck up. I'm picking you up. We'll be back off. You're back here in three or four hours. Fix me up. Drives me 40 minutes out. You get to stop it. Fuckies on the way. Huge wins. Stop it. Fuckies. Whatever. Hey. What's up, brother? How are you? It's so good to see you again. I see you. Ladies and gentlemen. Gario and everybody. Oh, but the gun show. I got a fucking dump buckle, right? Just like this. You know, you take these off. These are all interchangeable, right? So I have one that now has a fucking gun. And you press and you press a button like this. You go, could take and it's loose. And you can fucking get the word to go down. It's a mini mini 22. And it's literally that size. Oh, my God. It's so fucking cool. It's crazy. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's the coolest. I'm like, I was at the gun show. I'm like, does that work? They're like, yeah, I mean, yeah, it's a gun. I haven't gotten to shoot it yet. I'm taking it to my buddy's ranch soon. How was the drive down, snooze? Where'd you find it? I don't think I was in a Navy with. Said he went up last week. I hadn't seen him in 30 years. He sent me a message on Facebook. "Black guy's name's Donnell Graves." Oh, man. Did I give him the golden ticket? I don't know. Is that what he said? Donnell Graves. Oh, that must have been Aaron. He hasn't messaged me in 20 months. Wow. Can you just get me up on here? And Austin? Yeah. Yeah, they kept talking last week. Wow. So that means his airs tonight, which is going to be huge for him. I worked the door at the comedy store for four years before becoming a paid regular there. And I always used to request working the main room on tripping on Tuesdays, because that's my fucking shit. I'm from the hood of Youngstown, Ohio. And I've seen it all. Yeah. I mean, like, the way you were just, you're just so fucking hilarious. And it was always mind-boggling to me that you would get that respect in that room and for whatever reason, whether it was you or them or whoever.
You you would only do there. It was like the only place to see it the back story was Sundays and Mondays to get up and yeah, I finally got picked and there was five of us went up 4 girls of me. Yeah, I went to fifth after the four girls and when I went up, Mitzi and The four girls like in a well in the back of the room talking to me. I go I'm doing my set. I'm doing my work. Don't watch me and then I call the company and say yeah, I'm hitting you pick and I go. Well, is there a risk? And they go, um, I'm just sitting on a radio with. Wow. All four girls. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. How annoying. I said I'm not. I'm not going to do that again. All right. That's really why I never went up. Yeah. That'll do it. Um, you're doing it with the Brian Simpson. Have you met Brian before Brian? You know Gary. No, I mean, I just met him first time. Nice. Brian's a man. Netflix special genius Darry's the man. You guys know this. Oh, I mean, I know you've been on this show before so you know every time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know exactly. But it's going to be absolutely perfect. Yeah, 13 years ago. Yeah. We haven't missed a Monday release since June of 2013. Yeah. Consistency really is. It's been here for, uh, well, here in Austin for six and at the mothership for four or three months. It was at a place called Vulcan Gas Company. Basically a block away. Half a block away. We picked up when we moved to Austin. We had to get out of LA to fucking blow up. That's the craziest part. The whole thing. It really is. It was blow up in LA. In the entertainment capital of the world. Los Angeles for everything exists. It's all real. We swear. So, dude, that city's falling apart. I watched a thing today where they want to give homeless people sex areas. Do you know about this? Oh, my God. Air. Oh, totally 100% for sexual relief pods where you can go masturbate into or have sex with another homeless partner inside of these pods. 100% LA taxpayer paid off. I just did a show last week for like the correction officers. Some kind of shit in Vegas. I know they they got come to the prison now. Condoms in the prison. Wow. I mean, I was making a joke. Something about having sex. No, we got calm. Oh, my God. It's a matter of time for somebody escapes by blowing all of them up and going out like. London balloon boys. They have to get them balls. And they got to get their hair done. Oh, my God. I don't know. I can tell 40 men. Air. These kids are superstars. So, we'll see. Oh, I saw him on Tiktok. He does it from Sinatra. I guess. I don't know. He's supposed to be like a prodigy or something. I heard it. But pre-show, not this song, but the other song. It's fucking killed. So my mistakes, but I just want you to know. I hope he buys you flowers. I hope he holds your hand. Give you all his hours. When he has the chance. Take it to every party because I remember how much you love to dance. And all the things I should have done. When I was a man. Do all the things I should have done. When I was a man. I'm so good. Did you want to stop this thing? I forgot the hand. I tried to hide my heart. I did. I know I got this. It's great. [MUSIC] Bro, we are laughing. It's been six years for me now. I never thought I was going to leave Los Angeles. I've been here six years. Every single lucky week. I find three to five. Do more things that I can't wait to go to again. It's a fucking death. We are all getting away with murder. You're going to have a lot. We see you see the after party that we have after the show. It's like it'll be a blast. It's like it's like you're into it. It's downstairs in a private bar connected to the thing. Yeah, it's going to be a blast. I've been seeing you since, was that the Super Bowl in New Orleans? Yeah, two years ago. I missed it this year. I didn't even know what was happening. That's how crazy Austin is. I'm like, man, I got nothing to do tonight. I'm just kind of chilling. I look online. It's like you and Gillis. You and Gillis in the ways to well-boothed nonetheless. I'm like, what the fuck? So funny. With the ways to well-boothed over you, I'm sure. Well, I'm going to go get this little show that I do start it. We'll do. Thank you. We're going to have some fun. And then I'll see you guys afterwards. You have three seats right outside that balcony door straight across. For you, bring them in at least one. I think Bruce is going to try to squeeze a couple more of your buddies up there too. Yes, sir. I'm going to get one more. I'm going to get one. And Brian got dances. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Oh my god. Ladies and gentlemen, how about a hand for the kill-to-me date you? Yeah. That's all I got. Thanks. Mark Donovan. Great, man. Come on, great, man. Grow up, great, man. Hit it again. Hit it again, right, man. If it happened to me, can it happen to you?

Next fucking hole, it is no gene run at all. (upbeat music) - How are you feeling right now? - Like it's, I'm living in a dream. Like this isn't real. You know, it's a simulation or something, you know? I've been following, watching the show for 12 years, it's gotten me through a lot. And just to be here now is crazy. I mean, I broke, I spent all my money getting here. For the chance that I might not make it, but I was all right with that. 'Cause you gotta try. And I would've hated myself for not trying. And, I mean, this is crazy. And I prepared, I prepared and watched, like game film, watched what people did wrong, where they made the mistakes. And I studied, I feel like I was ready, you know? Like that particular bit I've worked on for two years. Yeah, just getting ever, just the, I don't know, it's the one I wanted to bring here, because it's so unique, I think, as a joke. 'Cause it's misdirection, not anyways. I don't wanna get into the new grade jokes, but, you know, I loved it. I mean, that was, I mean, and I love Tony. I've seen him live, you know, perform. He's incredible. You get tired of laughing at him, because he makes you laugh so much. So just to stand there and him laugh at me, you know? That meant the world. How long have you been doing comedy? How, how has your journey been? You talked about a lot of your, like, the aspiring comics, like, how? What is your lowest of the lowest, coming up? Well, I mean, right away, when I started at 18, I'm 41. When I started in New York, I was hopeful and excited, but I didn't know anything. And I got my ass handed to me in New York. And I went broke. And, you know, I felt like giving up. And I did for a while. And then it's like I had no hope. And then all of a sudden, after COVID, there was all these open mics. And it's like I got reignited. And it all came back to me, you know, after so long. And, yeah, I can't believe I had given up. I just thought I was going to work in a warehouse for rest of my life, you know? But now, being on Killtony gives a comic a chance to, like, bookshows. You know, like, people will, like at home, I have trouble getting along with comics sometimes. But this, you know, I don't know. I'm probably rambling because I'm out of my mind right now. It's like, so many people in their 40s have feels like, oh, I'm going to give up. I'm going to give up. How do you get that resilience and not give up? I think, well, when I perform, when I'm doing these open mics, and I know that I belong on there, I'm a natural born comedian. So when I'm doing it, it feels right, you know? So for me, it's like, I felt like I had no other option. Because I'm not good at anything else. I've, like I said, I've had a lot of jobs. And I lose a lot of jobs. Because I have trouble keeping my mouth shut, you know? I don't know if I say you just got to go through hell. It's like all about how you walk through the fire. You know, you got to just keep going. That's all. Like, be around comedy. That's it. If I could go back till my 18-year-old self, something, just stay around it as long as possible. If you've got to work the door, if you've got to do anything, just be there around it. And, you know, when you're not around it, you know, out of sight, out of mind, you know? Before the curtain, before everything, like right before you're about to go on, what emotions are there? Well, my heart's pounding, but I have a ritual. So, you know, a bad thing.
have that a performer's old stage is rocking back and forth like I'm doing right now. You're not grounded but what I'll do before a show is squat down and hold this. You know sometimes I'll just squat but then when I'm out there I'm grounded. You know my feet are on that floor and your voice when you're grounded comes out different you know and so my prepared you know I'm nervous you know my heart's beating but I'm just thinking about this you know I mean that's why I like comedy it's a I everything I like motorcycles you know boxing stuff like this it's all stuff you have to live in the moment or you it's better if you do live in the moment not up in here you know and that's why I like being on stage it's and boxing or motorcycle you're either there or you're dead you're either funny or you're not it's black and white I love that. How many times have you tried to get on kill time? This is my third time. I went to Madison Square Garden the one recently I went both nights signed up and didn't get picked but beforehand I you know you keep in your mind that your defeats and your victories you kind of got to treat them the same if that makes sense you know they're kind of like you can't let defeat affect you and you can't let victory affect you you know go to your head you've got to keep going forward and then if you win great you know how much I've lost I've lost everything several times you know I've been down and out several times but I just kept going. That's incredible though one last question how does it feel that Zach Akron and Tossi Gabbard just watched you doing a bow then. Really? Yeah that's awesome that's yeah that's fucking awesome I had no clue but the most important audience member to me or that was I just wanted Tony to see me do my thing and see and I was prepared if he didn't like it I would have been okay with it I just wanted him to see it what I've been working on you know but yeah that went better than I could imagine. Can you flash that real quick? Yeah that fly and you'll be on the ground. So truly one of the funniest fucking meetings before in such an honor to have you here tonight Gary is like I said before I do I always wanted you on this show since I was a door guy as a comedy (audience cheering) (audience cheering) I've done it a few times, that's the best plan I've ever done. For sure, one of the best episodes. - Hey, guys. - What's up? - What's this? - Um, some caretakers. - Oh man, thank you. - I can feel a lot of the show. - That was fun. The better I thought it was gonna be. I had high expectations, but I had exceeded it. Now I gotta get this guy to the tell room. (laughs) (upbeat music) - Better than ever. Better than ever. - Better than ever. - Unbelievable. So much fun. So much fun. I can't believe we keep having this much fun doing this. (upbeat music) It's fun. It's exhausting. (upbeat music) - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I got this. - Hey. - Hey. - So much fun. - I'm gonna watch your stuff. I'm gonna watch your stuff. - I don't know the motherfuckers. - It's hard to fall down. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - That's all I'm gonna write now. (all laughing)
I'm gonna throw my phone. I'm gonna hit back on my shirt. I'm gonna shoot my arm. I had to go out there with a fucking fret out. I'm like, "Fly that hair very far." And then I had to go back with people over. I'm not going to stop. I got to go back and do the store. I was like, "Nobody's taking me to the bathroom." (laughter) "Why do you not have a phone?" I said, "Why do you not have a phone?" And it was like, "I don't know. It's just a fight. I'm gonna go to the store." And I had to go off a memory. And I'm walking. As I'm walking, I'm walking to the corner. And the corner is looking worldwide. He's like, "What are you doing?" And I'm like, "Yeah, I said dude." He's like, "It's a man I'm having a hard time. I'm just fucking right down the fucking table." Because my phone's not working right. I still there for an hour. Nobody can fuck your health here. And then somebody finally walks over and talks to me. He can't fucking hell with me. He's like, "I don't know. I don't know what you're doing." I said, "I'm having a hard time." I said, "I'm having a hard time." I said, "I'm having a hard time." I said, "I don't know what you're doing." I said, "I'm having a hard time." And I said, "I'm walking. I don't know what you're doing." And I said, "I'm having a hard time." And I said, "I don't know what you're doing." And I said, "I don't know what you're doing." And I said, "I don't know what you're doing." And I said, "I don't know what you're doing." And I said, "I don't know what you're doing." And I said, "I don't know what you're doing." And I said, "I don't know what you're doing." And I said, "I don't know what you're doing." And I said, "I don't know what you're doing." Now your life comes to me, make it look to me, even more. Even more. You sex the pain, sex the pain. I've been a hidden man called. Did you come along? You sex the pain.
