So that picture will come in here. I'm not going to say again. You're going to have to do it for the first time around. Yeah, you might think my parents were shot in the face, or my parents were killed from being thrown on the tee. No, they were actually killed by a man shot in the head by a guy who didn't move through. Yeah, you might think my parents were killed by a guy who didn't move through. Yeah, you might think my parents were shot in the head by a guy who didn't move through. Baila mi gente, qué sabroso Lo que les traigo, un rico son Lo que les traigo, un rico son Baila mi gente, qué sabroso Baila mi gente, qué sabroso Lo que les traigo, un rico son Lo que les traigo, un rico son Lo que les traigo, un rico son ¡Suscríbete! people because my sister has a Down Syndrome son and if you had a Down Syndrome son, you wouldn't find it funny either. So I've thought about this for like a week now. I'd love a Down Syndrome son. Are you kidding me? It's like having a puppy forever. What do parents say is the toughest part about having kids? Oh, they grow up so fast. Not my boy. He's 45 years old. I tuck him into bed every night. We have tooth fairy. We play hide and seek. I mean, you're watching one of the greatest comedians in the world fucking goof around. Something he wasn't even going to do. I don't know. Maybe I should have done the Down and then the puppy forever last. I don't know. Anyway. So great. You're doing everything right, Ari. I mean, you're just a freak of fucking nature. Thank you so much. Everybody loves you. You had the biggest fucking laughs of the night. The biggest pop of the night. Everything is happening for you. You are so beloved by the fucking comedy universe and your peers for great reason. And we fucking love you. Anything else you want to say to these people? I just love New York City. Thank you for welcoming me in your city. You are the very best Ari Maddy. Truly. Truly unbelievable. Thank you, sir. I really appreciate it. Thank you. That was so great. So good to see you. I'll think about it. I also have a suspended license. I'm sick of these fucking judges. I need one more time. Mr. Grasso, who is being sued. I'm going to fucking go to jail. It's the worst thing I've seen in my life. I forgot to set the course. So I brought it up. It sounded great from in here. Yeah, it was fun. Great crowd. They were super. You're good to keep around. Got your body with respect. Wait. Come on. Kill it. Come on, man. Watch your mouth. You want to do it a little bit? No. Watch your mouth. Don't get smart. It's raining. That's maybe one. That's my mind. Maybe it's raining. It's raining. No, I wish you went in front of me for one reason. But if you had said so much more, I'd probably have dropped you through low. My hand was shaking a little in the it's so it makes you feel so nervous when you see it all like a little shake. You know, I was like a nervous. Yeah, I was. I hate you. Yeah, I hate my mouth goes dry, dry as fuck. I'm literally like, where's the moisture? I drink the water of the thing. I drink the guys. What is it? You're trans now. That's how it gets your trans. Stop spitting everywhere. This guy's just spitting. Hey, Emily. How are you feeling right now? It's very it's one of the most legendary arenas in the world. It's our third year here. It feels like home already. And New Yorkers are cool people. The crowd. They get jokes. They love to laugh. So that's awesome. And also seeing Jim Norton, Adam Ray, Tony, Red Band on the table. They're legends. So it's awesome. How does it feel to get the loudest reaction, the best reaction tonight? I don't know. There's more show to go. So relax. But it's very warm. They love me and I love them, too. So yeah. How nervous were you to do that extra joke? Yeah, I kind of forgot it in the moment, you know, because it's such a new idea that I had. So. And then the interview came and there was like a pause and I thought I've never done that where I bring up a joke. I usually don't like to break the fourth wall, like the joke and the interview. I like to keep separate. But I don't know. Somehow in the moment, I was like, that's right. Although the ending of that extra joke was kind of weaker than I would have if I would have more time to prepare. But that's Kill Tony. We're working it out. So, yes, dude. So maybe one day somebody sees the full joke. They're like, oh, I saw the stream when he did when he tried it. Well, dude, you fucking killed it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Have a good day. What's up, brother? Good to see you, brother. Thank you so much. Thank you. Good. Which, I mean, it speaks for itself. It's a very funny thing. Did Jack Shaw do something similar to this? Or was that you? Am I misremembering? No, this is me. This is fucking me. Is this a flute? Is this a joint thing? Menorah. Nice. Are you Jewish? Sure. Because of that tragedy. Yes. I guess. And it's sold unironically by a Jewish company. That's crazy. Yes. You're wanting to hide it? Yeah. I mean, I don't want to hide it. I don't want to have to come out with, like, a fanny pack or anything. If you have any idea of, like, I don't know if Heidi comes out before or anything, if we could just, like, throw something over and put it on a stool. If you have any ideas. I know it's like a nuisance right now, but if we have time, especially if the rain delays it a few minutes. I'm wondering if we just put it under the table. Yeah. Or, like, maybe behind the drums. Or maybe, like, if it's there the whole time. Yeah. Like, if the band has anywhere they don't mind. Well, they're on stage already. Let me see if I have anything to cover it. Yeah. And then, like, if Heidi wouldn't mind bringing it out, like, that way it's not in anybody's way. These are not sugar-free. They're flavored, but that's all I can tell you. Oh, sick. Fuck yeah. As long as it actually has the juice in it, I don't care what it tastes like. I mean, we could, like, we could put it in, like, one of these bags. And then, like, put it behind the band. Yeah. Even that's great, because, like, that's, like, something that I can, like, put it in all night that's, like, lightweight and still is, like, not clear. But yeah, it's, like, the top parts. Dude, when I bought this, you see this? This? Oh, I'll pour the honey on it. You've got to be careful with it. You've got to hold it at the bottom. That's a joke-made thing, though, right? No, it's sold unironically by a Jewish company. Oh, wait, it's not in the full, on the-- It's sold-- it's part of the joke. It's sold unironically by a Jewish company for Jewish children. It's a company in Israel. What the fuck? Dude, it's my second closer. The first time I was ever on Kill Tony, I, like, asked you guys to let me bring it, because he always asks, "Let me have any pack." Yeah. And I had it in there, and then he never asked, and it just looked like a fucking retard who, like, got on Netflix and blew the lifetime of an opportunity. That's why you've seen it. I've definitely-- I've had it at Secret Show and stuff, and I've shown it to you, probably. Jack Shaw's done props before, but this is-- you're just thinking of props in June. Bullet Jew, prop, yeah, yeah, yeah. Every time I think of him, I think of the trains, so. Okay. I will find Heidi, and then-- Do you know where her green room is? I think I walked past it. It's, like, near, like, Legends 1, right? Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to bother too much, but perfect. Even this bag will help a lot. And then just you knowing what's going on-- Yeah. --while you're backstage and shit. Her ass and Tukoks staring back at him. Can we see the tattoo? I would love to. I would love to. Please. This is not for Netflix. Technically, we could do it. Why didn't you lift my dress up? Oh, you have to lift-- I'm not. Oh, I apologize. I didn't realize. Wow. On Netflix-- Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. I'm honored to be here on this stage. I've had so many incredible nights in this room. Neil Young, the dead, old hippies. Those are my people. I like going to concerts where I'm offered both acid and antacid in the parking lot. I'm like, I'm good with that LSD, but talk to me about those tongues. I had a margarita at lunch. It's repeating. I was in 104 two weeks ago for Phish. Two kids about 18 years old before the show started split a bag of fish. I was like, I'm going to go to the bar to split a bag of mushrooms right in front of me. Lost their shit. It was the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life. These kids ate drugs, wigged out, and I just sat behind them eating popcorn, watching them unravel. One kid was having a hard time. He was grinding his teeth. His eyes were like an owl. He was fucking breathing through his nose. He's like-- Turned to his buddy. He goes, dude, I feel like people know we're fucked up, dude. Does everybody know we're fucked up? And I hung behind him, and I let him flip out when the lights went down. I poked my head in between them. I'm like, yo, everybody knows. Your heartbeat is so loud, dude. We all thought you were dying, so we called your mom. She's on her way here. Enjoy the show, stupid. I'm friends with my dad now, and I'm glad we waited. We weren't ready. I'm a bit of a dented can. My parents kind of blew it. They had me when they were 19 and then split when I was two months old, came back together when I was eight, remarried, and had three more kids. I was the best man in my parents' second wedding. You know how much pressure that is for an eight-year-old to throw a bachelor party on a dollar-a-week allowance? I'm a little bit of a dented can. My real dad just came back at us as a lousy stepdad. I was like, "This guy again?" You know how much pressure that is for an eight-year-old to throw a bachelor party on a dollar-a-week allowance? as a lousy stepdad. I was like, this guy again? I thought we returned him. Never had a sex talk with my dad. He never had one with me. My dad's version of a sex talk was anytime anything hot came on TV, he'd grab the remote and change it. And he'd go, this is not for you. And I'm like, no, it's for me. It's not for us. This is kind of fucking, I could see your boner through your champion sweatpants, you dummy. Thank you guys so much. I'm Mike Fennoya. Ladies and gentlemen, the great Mike Fennoya. So great. Fucking getting to get another New Yorker up here to do MSD. Okay. How was it up there? Nuts. I mean, the garden. I heard, I just tried to pay attention to like any sound I could hear that was positive. I mean, it's so big and it's so cavernous and it's like, I'm trying to look at like the scoreboard, but also like just I'm telling my jokes and thinking about the time and oh God, it's yeah. But I, but again, it's just another set. You gotta like, you know, you hear your name called and you're like, it's just another set. That's it. But I'm thrilled for the opportunity and I just hope people liked it. No, people, people loved it. Yeah. Could you tell after your set that people loved it or were you still unsure? No, I still get this. Like you come off stage and it's like you got punched in the stomach a little bit. Like, and it's just, I guess when I lose that, I'll probably stop doing it or whatever. But like it felt, it was just exciting. But also like I'm just really trying to like be in the moment and just be like happy, which isn't the easiest thing to do. So it was great. I mean, everybody was so nice when I got off stage. You freaking crushed it, man. How, how much does MSG mean to you throughout your life? Greatest place in the world. I mean, I've lost my mind here millions of times at concerts and sporting events and stuff like that. Celebrated New Year's Eve with Fish here countless times. And I mean, just to be on the stage where like Jerry Garcia stood and the Beastie Boys. I mean, it's just, it's an absolute, it's an absolute thrill. And you know, New York's my city and I love it here. And yeah, I'm still kind of a little bit like on cloud nine right now, so. Do your family or friends know that you just performed at Madison Square Garden? My wife, I called her and told her I was going up. My brother in comedy, my older brother, Big Jay Oakerson, I spoke with him right before. And yeah, that's it. My sister, I think. I don't like talking to, I just, I want to do my job and then talk about it after. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because you build things up and then you're just setting yourself up for failure, so. I thought more about like go out and do your job. Go out and do the best I can and pay tribute to like the room. And I'm grateful to Tony for the opportunity. And all I want to do is just be as funny as I possibly can be and make as many people laugh as possible. That's it, so. I know how big of an opportunity it is, so. Well, you fucking crushed it, bro. Thank you, man. It's a great work, dude. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for the interview. Thank you, dude. Thank you. Is this Kill Tony Plus? Yo, fuck you guys. Fuck you in the butt.

That's all I have to say. Dave is opening a basketball in the home of the Knicks. Well, I think a lot of us, but Dave is in the NBA. We've never been active. Wow! Hey, you! Hey, you didn't bring the rain to this emotion. Hey, stop telling me to play for the park so much, Tom and I. Rude. You're the third lady in the world. All right.

Now, obviously, anti-Semitism's been on the rise again, especially among younger generations, and I think I know why. Toy train menorahs. I'm not making this up. These are available online. I literally went ahead and purchased this one. It says in big letters on the front, all aboard the Hanukkah train. You know how many poor souls already fell for this catchy tagline in the 40s? Now it's being profited off of once again. Unbelievable. And I know what you're thinking. These are manufactured by Hamas or Marjorie Taylor Greene. Nope, this is true. You can look it up. They are sold by a company named Zion Judaism. God, is there enough that these people won't do to make a fucking dollar? Selling out their own ancestors. When I Googled menorah train, I was looking for some black Jewish born. But I live in Texas, so I got this horse shit. Okay, thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, one more time for the great Pat O'Neill. You did it again. Pat, you are the fucking man. Guys, real quick, tell Pat how much you love him, because we have one minute. Really funny, brutal jokes in a good way. Just fucking great, man. Really funny. You're in the right city for that material, young man. Great job. Very funny, really witty, really quick. And you can tell that you don't mean any of that shit, so that's good. Ran off Davies. Pat, Pat, this is my first time seeing you live. You have the same body as my 12-year-old daughter, but you are one of the funniest motherfuckers I've ever seen. So great job ripping it and taking advantage of the opportunity. Thank you, brother. Pat, we love you. We've got to put a ribbon on this show. We have 25 seconds left. We love you. Pat O'Neill. How about one more time for the great Adam Ray? The Adam Ray Show every Friday on Netflix. One more time. How loud can this place get for the great Jim Norton, huh?

It feels like I'm like, in a weird way with you, and this sounds crazy, it's probably an insult to both you and Shane, but it feels like we're like, in that final hunger, like right before he did that creak, where it's like, you're about to make whatever you make of all this, it's going to get 70 fucking or 80 million views, it's going to be crazy. It's amazing. It's so, so diabolical. Are you still writing? That's what's great. And I guarantee you, it inspires people like all of us. Everyone who loves this shit, it inspires everybody to be like, God, I want another fucking two-minute job. Wow. So great. Yeah, you took a show that people weren't familiar with. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry to interrupt. Great show. You did a great show. Thank you so much. Thank you very much for coming. I appreciate you. Thank you very much. You were like, I don't know what you're doing. I'm not, like, I don't like that this is that, but the way to get to watch you do it tonight, if you want that in the morning, this is so great. Thank you, dude. I had that in my fanny pack when you pulled me on Netflix, because I always saw how you, like, asked people in it. And then, like, I sent them pictures of myself on Netflix when I, like, was like, fuck this shit. So, like, do something. So much better, and, like, and I'm just wearing this huge fanny pack way down, but that wouldn't train me. Yeah, and if he falls in my face, I'm like, okay, so we'll see. I'm going to see what he does. You want a pie with pie? Nice. Fuck yeah. Here you go, Randy. Love it. Can I tell him how old I am? Love you. Thank you. Go to my fucking room. No, go to my room and get some drinks. Oh, good. All right, Nathan, you're perfect. I think I'm going to snipe her tomorrow. I think this is not the venue to a show about her. Oh, it's nice. Oh, you're not. We ain't going out. I'm not drinking. That's my brother, Donnie. Yeah. Yeah. My old brother. Very good. My older brother. I'm 12 years old. Correct. Correct. Yeah. This is incorrect. I knew you were going to say that. I'm like, why am I not wearing a suit? I like that about that. I like that you switched it up with high reverence. Yeah, I don't get scared. I used to do a joke about that thing before I had it. I was like, why the fuck is anybody believing me? And why don't you have it? I'm like, I'm making it up. Like, everything else is a made up story. But you got it. That's good. If I cost $50 a book right away. Yeah, go to Kim Connors. I'm going to go to Kim Connors. I'm going to go to Kim Connors.
