What time does everybody come in this green room? Probably like an hour and a half. Oh, there's a little bit of the end of it. ♪ Call my phone until you need me, baby ♪ ♪ Baby it's Tony ♪ ♪ Gotta get you some more ♪ ♪ Can't wait to see you ♪ ♪ Can't wait to see you ♪ Is that intentionally what? Yeah, I didn't want to put Tony with the song. (laughs) I might get shanked in a full line. Here we go. So, I'm Russell. I'm Ashley. And we brought Tony and Redb at a gift from Alabama because as your shirt says, "Kill Tony saved my life." She had a massive stroke two years ago in August and watching the show got her through her hospital to 19 days in critical care. So, this is her Tony and Redb and how they love it. Can't wait to show tonight. So, first time here. This is incredible. Yes. Yes. This is the day it happened. I was completely paralyzed in my left side and I had never heard of Kill Tony. So, he actually brought the Apple TV into the hospital and plugged it up to the TV. And the first show we were watching was the one with Changelis and Adam Ray. See, I can't remember so. As Trump and Biden and Lou would be laughing so hard that like the staff would come in and be like, "The nurses would come and be like that." Nobody's supposed to be laughing and a striped peanut. People were dying. And I was like, "We're not. We're having a good time." Because of this show. They would come in and watch it with us and laugh. And it was amazing. Like it literally helped me. We looked forward to it every Monday. And we were in the hospital for a long time. So, this is amazing. We won the lottery to get here. So, I'm probably going to start crying. How's your health now? It's so much better. I mean, it's so much better. It's not perfect, but it's better. And the one thing I didn't lose was my sense of humor. I don't like stairs or escalators. But I love feeling sad. Or bicycles or skiing. But everything else is fantastic. Where are you off from? Birmingham, Alabama. Yes. You fly here? We did. First time here. First time to Austin. Pretty amazing. We've been sitting over at the blonde pig or blonde pig or pub. Again, I can't see that far. My vision's not good anymore. So, this can be kind of funny, I guess. But we're so excited about tonight. So, this has truly been like a blessing, like a dream come true. We all tried to enter the lottery. And, like, my stepdaughter won. They're up there watching and waving. See, that's my daughter out there waving. They flew in from Colorado to be here with us. So, we are so excited and thankful. So, we've picked out some special items from the store that we own.

One more time for the same spot. You know, I was married to a stripper or back in my early days. I knew her three weeks from the time I met her to the time I was married. She did shit to me when due to a farm animal. I ain't never seen a girl more like that. I thought how bad could it be to be married to her. I'll tell you how bad it would. I came home early from work one day. I walked in the bedroom and she was butt-nicked and on the floor with a pink and stuff animal going to town on the peak of that southern beach. She tore the pink off that pink problem. They need traumatized. They need PTSD. Penguin trauma stress disorder. Hell, I can't even watch a bad man get involved without being his heroine. What do you think? A lot of words there. I don't know what to think. It's on freezing. You're just in your head about all this hybrid. It's all okay. Take your neck covers off. Let everything start. Did you get that? You got that on there? Good. Post that. 'Cause I'm getting me with fucking food in my mouth. Fucking fat people with paparazzi over here. Grab a fucking slice of cheesecake. Don't even see this fucking cheesecake. So you got some of your carbules too. You're just naked. Yeah, you are kind of naked. But you know what they say. You know what happens when you have hypothermia. If you get really cold, people take their clothes off. So maybe if you just wear less, it'll actually keep you up. I would start with your panties and your nipple covers. It'll fire you up. Oh my god. But you have to do it in front of your. Oh, Nathan, get out of here. What are you doing in here? Get out of here. Kill Tony Plus. Kill only on Kill Tony Plus. Here's your memory card. Alright, get there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Take your pants off. Take your pants off. From the bottom of the top. What's up, guys?

We married over the Bellagio Fountains. - And then I put in a different white dress and we headed over to Kieltoni. And it was an attack, Tony Kieltoni. We're gonna have a stroke. Let's keep that in mind. (laughing) So it was awesome. So that was very significant. We've seen cam Patterson. - Kieltoni. - We've seen all the Kieltoni, we've seen him in Birmingham and Huntschool.

And the other guest is one of the newest guests in the show's history. A recent, Cooper, great Philadelphia and New York area, two Austin in Texas. Thanks to us for your two guests tonight and a great, current fox. [audience cheers] [audience cheers] [audience cheers] In 1718, the time you're with this show. It's here, Los Angeles. I feel like I can get away from it. I love you. And a little fun fact. He was here doing some shows this weekend. And he stayed. We have one, we have a very rare Mexican from Grand Rapids. But I see his wheels of turning over there. Did you know the time talking to him and the sound of my kitten? [audience cheers] And they have to wrap it up then, or else they bring it up. And he was holly with bear. It's Ruby interrupts, they're set. And I conducted interviews at school with any name you can have. We could find the next credit talent. If you could help highlight it tonight. Yeah. We could find just. Articles and tickets, it's got a different scene. It's not the same. And the interviews gave us nothing. Anything can happen. The best, it makes the show great. I don't know about you, Motherfuckers, but I'm celebrating tonight. [audience cheers] Is that you? [audience cheers] Okay, I already remembered that. [audience cheers] You have here a scenario in Hollywood. I'm here for a sample. [audience cheers] Because I'm a G-Grabbingist stool. I could have never sold that raw stage in without the physical help of that stool, by the way. [audience cheers] Oh, I am feeling fantastic about that set, man. It couldn't have gone anybody to me. Once you set that bar and get that ticket to come back and match that, which I really believe I just did. I mean, it's because I'm here. I'm happy. I'm in a great mood. I'm gonna go out and show my old ass on the CD tonight. [laughs] [audience cheers] [audience cheers] [audience cheers] I'm sorry? I'm doing a lot of big swing effects during the set. Swings. I'm doing a lot of riffs during the set. I'm glad you thought those were real. Those were all proven jokes that had been tried and true. The pulling the sock out was something different in the titties falling on the knees. But I think it worked. Do you think it worked? Oh, yeah. Okay, well that worked. That's all the fuck I could say. I had so much more in my pocket. I got it. I may have come back in another minute. I'm not rushing. Thank you, Tony. No shit, yo. Thank y'all. Really? You better know man's dream. How long have you been doing? I'm doing stand-up. All right. I saw a guy on the show that day, he's 59, saying, can I still do it? Hey, I was 57 when I started. And y'all, my resume is for it. And I took it as a hobby because I'm a banker during the day. Passionate hobby. But I played Madison Square Garden with Tony. My name was at the Apollo Theater on their marquee. I hung out with Kenan Thompson for Saging Out Live, active party and all that shit. I played Caroline's on Broadway for it closed. Chocolate Sundays. Earthquakes. I've been all over Placement, right? And to be up here and have this kind of recognition from this large of a crowd. It's humbling. It's fucking awesome. And I'm taking advantage of it too. I'm going to whip y'all's asses. And your own damn town you're going to leave with no shoes on. I'm going to knock you fucking socks off. All this kid that's been around. A ballpark. All these kids. All this kid was 16. We played the same video game. Oh shit. What was the video on that? 2K. Wow. I think after sex, this player was better than me. I was like, "How did you get there?" I was like, "Fuck this one." Wow. Incredible. For example, these days I go, "I was talking to a girl in the States saying that I love America." And she was upset. She was like, "Fuck you." I was like, "Why?" And I was like, "Why?" And she's like, "I'm serious. Like, we're literally a war right now." I was like, "Dude, we're at Starbucks. We're fine. Like, this is fine. Let's make her run on hand." Yeah, I don't know. Here's the medium job, my friend. Well. Hey, old jeep. And he's sleeping with me all the time. You know that, you know that. You gotta know that. That's right. Where you can shit in a box. Where you gotta get that hair up there. Let me tell you something about that. I did that. I was doing it. I finally, I was going to show you. Yeah. In the last few months. Yeah. I finally shit. Look at that. Yeah. Go to Miami. Go to Miami. Come back to there. The box is almost torn. There's an anger strip. You gotta pick up. So I came back. Literally, my shit came back. That's just true fucking shit. Maybe take off the hat, let's see who you are. If there's another chef's hat underneath there. Oh. Oh my god. What the fuck is that? Is that a beanie baby? It's Billy Beanie, baby. Ratatouille. It's Roberto Ratatouille. You have characters all up in you. What is that doing on your head? It's controlling me. I'm going to get a lot of shit for this one. But I got no regrets here. Sonya Baroni. You are the newest sold-in ticket winner. It killed Tony Foglor. Congratulations, my friend. There's a note out about it. Soapa Beanie. Soapa Beanie. Soapa Beanie. I'm going to move up on the 8-9. It was a wrap. The last time to be in the hat is what it is. It's the one in the ticket. It's either a city or an old city. It's absolutely incredible. People say you're good. You know what? They just show that it's racist. I'm just a couple months ago. Live in the dream. Yeah. Thank you. Cool. Yeah. Give me the corporate light pretty warm. You know, one of my meetings. The rest of the night. The last call to be used. I'm going to get a blind adjutant. They brought me in this room. They were like, you know, based on your performance. We're going to have to let it go. And I said, that's how you treat me. I'm not going to leave me. And they just moved to Austin to do that reading from New York. And I do get a little home safe. So, actually, I do appreciate the whole population here. You know, one with me right back home walking down six feet. One difference I have noticed though is the whole place. So here, I'll have shopping carts. All right. I don't know. Is that okay? How long did you think it's going to be? June 30. There we go. Okay. And, how long have you been? About two years. About two years. It's been a long time. Show it to them. [Cheering] (crowd cheering) I don't think that's a lot more than this one girl. And I don't think that's the single thing. Like I still have that time. Only a couple of things. You don't think that's the single thing to do. OK. Thanks a lot, sir. Who's a man who will sit there? [MUSIC PLAYING] Actually, I love how you do that. I like kind of. Kind of. But I think it's what it is. I mean, you heard him. But I'm not really proofing. Yeah, well, the guy before me, to do-- I've made it a blazer joke since when you come on. And you're not doing it, you're not doing it. So we have a nine-year-old. Which I think it's a little different from the girl. Yeah, I'm very happy for that one. I actually knew it was happening. I think we've been in that one, though. If you ever should, let's talk about something else. We definitely don't want to be in that one. We want good jokes. We haven't been getting on it. And he's playing mine. Yeah, and now we go in your favor. And now we go out and say, hey, we do-- I mean, listen to the silence of the room. There's people literally leaving during a live TV. They're ready. Literally, all leaving at once. There's six people leaving because of the mood to go jack off. It's a new loco. Oh, this lady just decided to leave. She's just joining. Crazy. Anybody else? All right, your next comedian out of the bucket goes by the name of Joey T. Everybody here comes Joey T. How are you feeling right now? Out of my mind. Before they said, I saw you prepping all the stuff, putting on the mustache, putting on the outfits. When did you decide to put the wrap on your head? Well, I knew that the wrap was going to have to come on. I didn't know how to make it stay on. I got like little hair ties. Usually it falls off, but it stayed on. Did you have a plan to stay way into taking off your hat, your chef's hat, or did you just beg like one of the panelists in the pregnant. No, yeah, that was all grace from God right there. No idea. I was going to transition into that. And then I forget what he said. But yeah, I went into it. How did you feel? Was there ever a moment during your set that you're like, oh, I'm going to get that golden ticket? No, honestly, I was-- I pretty much black out when I'm up there. So when he started pulling it out, I was like, oh, that's pretty awesome. Now, you're so fast in it with so many different characters. And it's interesting, because it feels like part of you, the real you resent some of those characters that you have to-- that you're funny because of those characters. Is that a real thing, or is that part of your sketch? Well, I just look at it as I got to be good enough to follow Tony Pepperoni, and I'm not good enough to follow Tony Pepperoni yet. When did you come up with this character? Desperation. What was that desperation like? Oh, you do open mics. And it's like, I was going to go through the motions. I was like, I want to have a little more fun. I thought it was going to bomb, but I tried it, and it did way better than being myself. And here I am five years later. Did you ever think before walking on that stage, you'd get the golden ticket? Honestly, it didn't cross my mind tonight. Yeah, I've thought it about it before, but when I was up there tonight, I wasn't anticipating it. So I'm pretty excited. Look, this must feel so surreal, huh? It feels like a dream. It feels like a simulation. I came here with like, I've got whenever I have a sun camera. I came here with like, so little idea of what I was doing. [INAUDIBLE] [INAUDIBLE] Yeah, yeah, I think I'm going to do like the first two jokes. It's going to be the first jokes. But like, I've had for years, it's like-- I'm sure it's one of those things, maybe one of those things. I mean, I've looked it up and did my due diligence for like Halloween, get to say spook. All right, yeah, I'm done with that game. But then on the way here, I was like that same set of them and give candy to kids. It's like a purge for racist pedophiles. So I just thought of that the other way here. I'm like, that'll do it. I'm doing it the other way. All right. And you're up next to them one more time, one more. We're going to bring Nathan with us. Perfect Dallas, film all this. I think, as you can see, my voice has been ten years. Probably going to get the content together. I probably have to go to a doctor next week, maybe before we go. There's a fucking helpful guy around here that everybody is saying. It's like a suicideistic type, though. And maybe I have that on top of what's wrong with my tooth and on top of like, legitimately losing my voice and using it for a second. So it's like taking-- I mean, I know like long-layered gyda. Like, bad-layered gyda's takes two weeks. So barely on the other end of the-- [INAUDIBLE] Yeah, sure of that, but it'll really make it up to the Patreon. So try for some more. It's velveteen. Oh. Now, what are you going to do with that? Go sell it on eBay? Oh, I don't know. I'm going to look at it in a while. You're going to look at it for a while. Dude. So what's next? Oh, oh, oh, oh. Just respect the ticket, well. That might have-- that thing might have fucking-- what's on this floor? You might have to go wash that when you get home, bro. Say something for John D's and C. John D's in the best damn band in the land, would you? John D's in the best damn-- No, say it in character. John D's in the best damn band in the land. What the fuck is he? Thank you, brother man. Get congratulations. I love it, bro. Dude, that's killer. Yeah. I'm going to find my scotch tape. Are we in there? Clemry flowers, dude. Dude, yeah, go on there. He's like, so he ends up in the air, dude. Yeah, fucking kill it. You did the thing. Dude, you bet your-- How many of you had only fucking papers in there? You just did it. You fucking did the thing. Are you, like, siphoned out of your fucking mind right now? The Wilder. Dude. He's got me in the brain. You are. You fucking set it. This is the upside down. There's camera people pointing in every direction. Let's go. Enjoy yourselves. Spend the night hard, if you want to spend a dude. You want to get-- You better be good. See you there. You good? Yeah. It's your. Yeah. You play on the sled, you play the cigarette. This is going to be great. Lift your sleeves. OK. All right. We're going to do this. How about we go pick it up? Well, pick it up. Hi. Here, we need the-- we need John B. Thank you, John. You're a hero. He's hot. No, we can't. That's a good one. The girls are, wow, you're like-- Bucket is just rough tonight. Who knows? Come on. We got to do it. You just try to hold and take a winner. Twenty-per-hour over the side of our pants. Everything else is real rough. The only picture of who's given to a man who's definitely gay. But you never know what's going to happen on Keltoni. That's a mix of the crazy episodes. That's crazy. The one good thing that we can count on is that we have an absolute anchor to end this show. He is a gift from the comedy dogs. We need to gentlemen. Every single week, he reigns in the forms of reading. He's been in the absolutely models of our lines. We are all really big fans. We can just sit back and enjoy the styling. I'm a great reset. You don't want me all the time. Bring this figure to the history of the show. The real people of the year are all like this. It's proud of me. [CHEERING] [CHEERING] There's something I need to get off my chest. Cook or poop. So let's get the show on the road and try to get home. I'm going to wash off. Let me ask you right in the front, what's the difference between crypto currency and monopoly money? You can't pay a blind hooker in crypto. That's right. Uh-huh. Good answer. I'm going to tell my child what he wants me to do. Yay! Well, Pat did it. Pat did it. Absolutely killed. I did. All right. Honestly, Pat, we needed you so bad. I feel like they were hungry. They were eating their eggs. Come on. I'm just sitting there. They're at last. Oh yeah. Well before he came out even, he knew he'd hear about crazy. Yeah, way better crowds than like the last one. So much better. But hey, we did it! I got something to eat jars. I think there's some either gas water or I don't know. Let me know why you took the jars. I don't know. There are empty jars. I just feel about the show. I like that pretty healthy amount of racism. I wish it was more effective. You know, these guys are the best though. You got it, you know. I like to build up, not tear down. You know, you did great, man. You got some great pods. Magic, baby. Magic. Yeah. How'd you feel about it today? As there are anything different about American audiences versus where you're from? Yeah. The audiences are a little different, I don't know. America's are a little more forgiving. If you're bombing in Ireland, they'll fucking let you know. They're like a black group. If you're bombing, they're in trouble. Tomatoes actually, then they ask for back after the show. But yeah, I was gonna show. Oh, this is the, this is the pit down. Fight, fight, fight, fight any man. You're not my shrinking a bucket. You a kind of, my Gregor fan. I used to be a kind of my Gregor fan. Did he? He rakes all those girls. Unfortunately, you can't, you gotta, you gotta pull out your support when he, when he does a little rape. Well, don't get caught in this. I'll support you, but you can't get caught. You gotta be smart about it. Like, look at John Malini. No, I'm like, but he never got caught, so I'm without this portal. You know, that's a job. That's not true. It's not real. I'm so sorry, John. Honestly, I'm always like, Connor, I'm like, this is why I always be old, all to be sad and alcoholics. Yeah. Well, you know what I'm trying to say? He's got an absolute menace to the world. Yeah, he's never should have released a whist. I think he could I'm so fucking dumb of them. I'm still laughing out. I'm like, the trucker probably just looked black. That tire we knocked like, oh, he's stuck in the bitch. Her job is always dumb. [inaudible] [inaudible] [inaudible] [inaudible] [inaudible] - This side is great for the front row, just like- - Right here? - There's a bunch of smoke like at the lights and stuff. That wasn't your invitation to it, it ain't you, I can feel it. (laughing) - I'm like commenting on shit that happens. I wouldn't even call a crowd. I think crowdversions when you set out to be like, "Okay, this is like the time we're about to ask questions." - Yeah, there's been crowd working thing in the room. - That's true. - Yeah. - I need to do it really. - I need to make myself do a crowd work at some time. - I feel like that's what I go last on Monday's now. - I'm going to force myself to do a crowd work, yeah. - At that point, 'cause on Mondays, they're in there by the time of afternoon. - I'm going to do hours. - You can't just do it, yeah. - No, no, no, no. - I'm going to talk with him. - I'd rather. - Don't be.
