[00:00:00.000 –> 00:00:19.060] I got to talk some shit.
[00:00:19.060 –> 00:00:21.220] You’re killing it, man.
[00:00:21.220 –> 00:00:22.220] It’s exciting.
[00:00:22.220 –> 00:00:23.860] It’s an exciting time for you.
[00:00:23.860 –> 00:00:24.860] Yeah.
[00:00:24.860 –> 00:00:25.860] I hope you’re enjoying it.
[00:00:25.860 –> 00:00:26.860] Oh, I’m having a blast.
[00:00:26.860 –> 00:00:27.860] Is it weird?
[00:00:27.860 –> 00:00:29.860] Does it feel weird?
[00:00:29.860 –> 00:00:37.660] I’m kind of because I wasn’t expecting a big moment or a different boom, a different outside
[00:00:37.660 –> 00:00:40.780] thing because I’m just content here chilling.
[00:00:40.780 –> 00:00:45.140] I had my Kill Tony stuff and all of our stuff.
[00:00:45.140 –> 00:00:48.980] But yeah, it’s awesome.
[00:00:48.980 –> 00:00:50.260] It’s so interesting to watch.
[00:00:50.260 –> 00:00:53.500] It was funny that Brian Simpson said that he’s with you at the store and he said he
[00:00:53.500 –> 00:00:54.500] watched.
[00:00:54.500 –> 00:00:57.820] He goes, I watched Tony Hinch could become real famous in real time.
[00:00:57.820 –> 00:01:02.460] You could see with the first show when you’re warming up, get ready for the roast and after
[00:01:02.460 –> 00:01:04.780] the roast people just going crazy.
[00:01:04.780 –> 00:01:05.780] Yeah.
[00:01:05.780 –> 00:01:06.780] It was weird.
[00:01:06.780 –> 00:01:11.420] I got bumped by another comedian my first night at the store and then I was the special
[00:01:11.420 –> 00:01:14.580] guest super treat the rest of the week.
[00:01:14.580 –> 00:01:19.380] Like it was like I was the secret weapon kind of so I was unbumpable.
[00:01:19.380 –> 00:01:22.020] Well, you should be bumped anyway.
[00:01:22.020 –> 00:01:23.580] Bumping is horseshit.
[00:01:23.580 –> 00:01:28.580] Bumping is a thing that was around the store back in the old days and they should have got
[00:01:28.580 –> 00:01:30.220] rid of it a long time ago.
[00:01:30.220 –> 00:01:34.300] It’s one thing if like some superstar Dave Chappelle type Chris Rock character wants
[00:01:34.300 –> 00:01:39.140] to pop in, Louis C.K.’s in town and they want to do 15 minutes.
[00:01:39.140 –> 00:01:41.420] That’s all great.
[00:01:41.420 –> 00:01:44.980] What used to happen at the store is you would get these comedians that were just
[00:01:44.980 –> 00:01:47.300] doing it for an ego flex.
[00:01:47.300 –> 00:01:50.300] They were just doing it because they wanted to be able to bump other folks on the
[00:01:50.300 –> 00:01:55.460] roster and then they would do like a fucking 45 minutes set and ruin the timeline of the
[00:01:55.460 –> 00:01:56.460] show.
[00:01:56.460 –> 00:01:59.460] Everybody’s supposed to do 15 minutes just like fucking 16 people in the show.
[00:01:59.460 –> 00:02:00.460] It’s a long ass show.
[00:02:00.460 –> 00:02:01.460] What I mean people are on 16.
[00:02:01.460 –> 00:02:02.460] Is it 16?
[00:02:02.460 –> 00:02:03.460] I don’t know if it still is.
[00:02:03.460 –> 00:02:05.460] It might be 14 or 12 or something.
[00:02:05.460 –> 00:02:07.460] A lot of host pandemic.
[00:02:07.460 –> 00:02:08.460] Yeah.
[00:02:08.460 –> 00:02:12.500] It’s crazy that some people will sit there from show open.
[00:02:12.500 –> 00:02:16.020] They will sit there from 8 p.m. and they will be there till 2 a.m.
[00:02:16.020 –> 00:02:17.020] I’ve seen it.
[00:02:17.020 –> 00:02:18.900] Oh yeah, I’ve seen it many a times.
[00:02:18.900 –> 00:02:23.260] Some people are just like especially those tourists, comedy tourists.
[00:02:23.260 –> 00:02:24.260] Yeah.
[00:02:24.260 –> 00:02:27.060] They’d come there from Australia and Ireland and shit.
[00:02:27.060 –> 00:02:28.500] Yeah they don’t want to miss anything.
[00:02:28.500 –> 00:02:30.340] We’re getting a lot of those at the mothership man.
[00:02:30.340 –> 00:02:33.260] There’s a lot of people from other countries that are telling me they’re flying in for
[00:02:33.260 –> 00:02:34.260] this.
[00:02:34.260 –> 00:02:35.260] All the time.
[00:02:35.260 –> 00:02:36.260] It’s wild.
[00:02:36.260 –> 00:02:39.700] They come in, they do like a weekend then they go do Kill Tony and they’ll do like
[00:02:39.700 –> 00:02:40.700] one of our shows.
[00:02:40.700 –> 00:02:41.700] It’s fucking crazy.
[00:02:41.700 –> 00:02:46.100] Yeah I always ask now during the commercial break where I get to talk directly to
[00:02:46.100 –> 00:02:47.100] the Kill Tony audience.
[00:02:47.100 –> 00:02:49.900] And I ask how many you live in Austin, Texas make some noise.
[00:02:49.900 –> 00:02:52.660] How many of you flew in just for this and it’s always a bigger pop?
[00:02:52.660 –> 00:02:53.660] Isn’t that wild?
[00:02:53.660 –> 00:02:54.660] Yeah.
[00:02:54.660 –> 00:02:58.860] It’s like the city has become like a vacation destination for stand up.
[00:02:58.860 –> 00:03:00.380] For the arts I think.
[00:03:00.380 –> 00:03:06.020] I think you can come here and listen to live music, the best and live comedy.
[00:03:06.020 –> 00:03:08.580] And get to see a lot of fucking freaks.
[00:03:08.580 –> 00:03:11.820] Yeah it’s just fucking what a time we’re in man.
[00:03:11.820 –> 00:03:12.820] Yeah.
[00:03:12.820 –> 00:03:13.820] Boy did we get lucky.
[00:03:13.820 –> 00:03:16.500] I mean we just keep getting lucky dude.
[00:03:16.540 –> 00:03:20.860] Getting Shane here is a death blow to the other cities.
[00:03:20.860 –> 00:03:26.740] Took him out on his first boat trip on Sunday and we drank.
[00:03:26.740 –> 00:03:27.740] Of course.
[00:03:27.740 –> 00:03:29.740] If you were Shane you’re drinking.
[00:03:29.740 –> 00:03:32.100] You drink Bud Lights or you drink real alcohol?
[00:03:32.100 –> 00:03:35.140] I drink Whiskey Coaks, he drank Bud Lights.
[00:03:35.140 –> 00:03:37.340] We always fucking meet.
[00:03:37.340 –> 00:03:40.660] Yeah that dude can put them away.
[00:03:40.660 –> 00:03:43.100] We not fuck around with Shane Gillis.
[00:03:43.100 –> 00:03:44.780] Do not try to drink with Shane Gillis.
[00:03:44.900 –> 00:03:45.900] We had so much fun.
[00:03:45.900 –> 00:03:48.740] Cracking up man.
[00:03:48.740 –> 00:03:51.260] Listening to Drake on the river.
[00:03:51.260 –> 00:03:52.260] That’s awesome.
[00:03:52.260 –> 00:03:53.260] He’s the best.
[00:03:53.260 –> 00:03:54.260] Yeah.
[00:03:54.260 –> 00:03:56.820] It’s so nice having him here and it’s so nice having Joey here all the time now.
[00:03:56.820 –> 00:03:58.540] Joey’s coming again in a week.
[00:03:58.540 –> 00:03:59.540] Unbelievable.
[00:03:59.540 –> 00:04:02.380] Yeah I was just with him in New Jersey.
[00:04:02.380 –> 00:04:03.380] He was so hilarious.
[00:04:03.380 –> 00:04:05.460] He was so hilarious at the fights.
[00:04:05.460 –> 00:04:07.260] He was out of his mind.
[00:04:07.260 –> 00:04:12.700] That’s what I was telling Lewis is like even the few people that we really want
[00:04:12.700 –> 00:04:15.580] that haven’t moved here are coming here all the time.
[00:04:15.580 –> 00:04:17.900] Like it’s a Vegas residency or something like that.
[00:04:17.900 –> 00:04:21.100] Yeah Theo was there too at the fights and he’s coming in July.
[00:04:21.100 –> 00:04:23.540] So we’ll do more stuff with him too.
[00:04:23.540 –> 00:04:25.700] Yeah we’re lucky shit dude.
[00:04:25.700 –> 00:04:30.020] I mean I say it all the time but it’s almost like the universe wanted this to happen
[00:04:30.020 –> 00:04:31.020] this way.
[00:04:31.020 –> 00:04:34.900] It just seems like every light just turned green right when we got up to it.
[00:04:34.900 –> 00:04:35.900] Unbelievable.
[00:04:35.900 –> 00:04:36.900] It didn’t make sense.
[00:04:36.900 –> 00:04:37.900] This isn’t gonna wear green light.
[00:04:37.900 –> 00:04:38.900] This isn’t gonna wear green light.
[00:04:38.900 –> 00:04:40.500] Hey this might work.
[00:04:40.500 –> 00:04:41.500] Green light.
[00:04:41.500 –> 00:04:42.500] Oh shit it’s happening.
[00:04:42.500 –> 00:04:44.100] It’s like it’s wild.
[00:04:44.100 –> 00:04:47.300] Yeah and it’s a special fucking place man.
[00:04:47.300 –> 00:04:50.300] I love this city with all my heart.
[00:04:50.300 –> 00:04:56.260] I never thought I would leave LA and then when the shit hit the fan and riots and governments
[00:04:56.260 –> 00:05:02.620] and you realize taxes are absolutely insane for what we were getting and I feel more
[00:05:02.620 –> 00:05:07.020] at home here than I ever did there and I was there for almost 20 years.
[00:05:07.020 –> 00:05:10.700] But when the plane’s landing and you look out the right side and you see downtown
[00:05:10.700 –> 00:05:15.860] Austin instead of downtown LA it feels more like oh yeah.
[00:05:15.860 –> 00:05:23.300] It’s a better place for comedy too in terms of like you don’t have the traffic, it’s not
[00:05:23.300 –> 00:05:27.100] a grind, it’s the middle of the country so if you want to travel to other cities it’s
[00:05:27.100 –> 00:05:28.860] easy to get to.
[00:05:28.860 –> 00:05:31.660] The club situation is amazing.
[00:05:31.660 –> 00:05:32.780] There’s so many clubs.
[00:05:32.780 –> 00:05:37.340] There’s Capp City, there’s Creek in the Cave, there’s the Vulcan, there’s a Sunset
[00:05:37.340 –> 00:05:39.980] Strip, there’s the Mothership.
[00:05:40.100 –> 00:05:41.100] What else?
[00:05:41.100 –> 00:05:42.100] The Black Rabbit.
[00:05:42.100 –> 00:05:46.460] Black Rabbit, The Vita Room, Shakespeare’s.
[00:05:46.460 –> 00:05:47.460] It’s crazy.
[00:05:47.460 –> 00:05:48.460] It’s crazy.
[00:05:48.460 –> 00:05:51.580] It’s an amazing situation.
[00:05:51.580 –> 00:05:55.300] You realize you don’t have to live like that.
[00:05:55.300 –> 00:06:00.820] You don’t have to be stuck in this crazy city of insane traffic and crime.
[00:06:00.820 –> 00:06:06.780] I can see five comedy clubs from my windows and where I live and I don’t think anybody
[00:06:06.780 –> 00:06:08.660] in New York has that.
[00:06:08.700 –> 00:06:12.380] I don’t think you can look down and see five comedy clubs from where you’re at at any given
[00:06:12.380 –> 00:06:13.380] point.
[00:06:13.380 –> 00:06:16.700] New York has more clubs and more people and New York’s awesome.
[00:06:16.700 –> 00:06:17.700] It’s not a contest.
[00:06:17.700 –> 00:06:18.700] Right.
[00:06:18.700 –> 00:06:19.700] It’s not a contest.
[00:06:19.700 –> 00:06:22.220] It’s like that whole New York is the best.
[00:06:22.220 –> 00:06:24.020] I don’t know.
[00:06:24.020 –> 00:06:26.060] If you like it, it’s the best.
[00:06:26.060 –> 00:06:31.340] Whatever’s great for you but this is a crazy place right now.
[00:06:31.340 –> 00:06:33.340] LA used to be crazy.
[00:06:33.460 –> 00:06:37.380] Now it’s just a fucking steaming pile.
[00:06:37.380 –> 00:06:39.140] It’s on fire.
[00:06:39.140 –> 00:06:40.140] It’s just fucked.
[00:06:40.140 –> 00:06:42.100] Speaking of fire, do you see the sky?
[00:06:42.100 –> 00:06:43.620] You know what that is?
[00:06:43.620 –> 00:06:51.620] In Mexico, oh, we need to Google this too because Mexico has a new president and I heard that
[00:06:51.620 –> 00:06:55.660] 30 plus presidential candidates were assassinated.
[00:06:55.660 –> 00:06:56.660] Oh.
[00:06:56.660 –> 00:06:59.740] That might be just a TikTok meme.
[00:06:59.740 –> 00:07:00.740] So I have to find out.
[00:07:00.740 –> 00:07:01.940] So let’s find out in real time.
[00:07:01.940 –> 00:07:06.740] But the sky, the reason why the sky is so cloudy looking, that smoke from wildfires in
[00:07:06.740 –> 00:07:07.740] Mexico.
[00:07:07.740 –> 00:07:08.740] Oh wow.
[00:07:08.740 –> 00:07:10.740] They did a controlled burn and they go whoops.
[00:07:10.740 –> 00:07:11.740] Oh boy.
[00:07:11.740 –> 00:07:12.740] They whoopsied.
[00:07:12.740 –> 00:07:13.740] Whoops.
[00:07:13.740 –> 00:07:14.740] Let’s look.
[00:07:14.740 –> 00:07:17.220] 37, excuse me.
[00:07:17.220 –> 00:07:22.980] Claudia Shinebaum was elected the country’s first female president after a bloody election
[00:07:22.980 –> 00:07:29.980] campaign that saw 37 candidates assassinated and that’s our neighbor.
[00:07:30.020 –> 00:07:34.540] We live next to a fucking crack house.
[00:07:34.540 –> 00:07:35.540] That’s on fire.
[00:07:35.540 –> 00:07:40.340] A crack house on fire run by a Jew.
[00:07:40.340 –> 00:07:43.460] The first lady, first lady.
[00:07:43.460 –> 00:07:46.980] More than three dozen candidates were assassinated including a local government candidate in
[00:07:46.980 –> 00:07:51.220] central Puebla State who was killed on Friday increasing a total number of those killed
[00:07:51.220 –> 00:07:52.220] at 37.
[00:07:52.220 –> 00:07:56.460] Who the fuck would want to run for office in Mexico?
[00:07:56.460 –> 00:07:57.540] Dude.
[00:07:57.580 –> 00:08:00.260] That is so crazy.
[00:08:00.260 –> 00:08:01.260] It’s so crazy.
[00:08:01.260 –> 00:08:06.980] Look how few people, look 20,000 positions to fill and 70,000 candidates.
[00:08:06.980 –> 00:08:09.620] If you have 20,000 positions in America, how many candidates do you have?
[00:08:09.620 –> 00:08:11.980] Probably a lot more because nobody’s getting assassinated.
[00:08:11.980 –> 00:08:14.740] That would be one way to start fitting the herd.
[00:08:14.740 –> 00:08:15.740] Yeah.
[00:08:15.740 –> 00:08:16.740] Taking them out.
[00:08:16.740 –> 00:08:19.420] I mean how far away, I mean it sounds crazy right?
[00:08:19.420 –> 00:08:20
