Hey, this is Redban, coming to you live from the Comedy Mothership here in Austin, Texas for a brand new episode of Kill Tony.

Brian Redban (0:50)

Give it up for Tony Hinchcliffe!

Tony Hinchcliffe (1:00)

Who's ready for the best night of their fucking lives, huh?

Tony Hinchcliffe (1:21)

Oh my god, how about one more time for the best damn band in all the land, the Kill Tony Band.

Tony Hinchcliffe (1:25)

Wevo Francheros Tres Leches.

Tony Hinchcliffe (1:30)

On the horns, the great and powerful Carlos Sosa, Fernando Castillo and Raul Vallejo. Michael Gonzales on the drums. The great Matt Muehling on the electric, Jon Deas on the keys and believe it or not, that is D Madness, the real D Madness live in the flesh.

What an episode we have. We have new microphones thanks to Sweetwater Audio, the great Ted Schaefer giving us new wirings and stuff. And we have a hell of an episode ready for you. You guys excited to be here? Before we get started, here's a little bit more from the amazing sponsors that made it all possible tonight.

Are you guys ready to start tonight's fucking show or what? Let's do it. You know, sometimes it's booked this way, sometimes it's booked that way. What I love about tonight is it's two guests. One of them is, I mean, well, both of them are two of the best stand-up comedians in the world. And we haven't had them on in a very long time. It's somebody's first time, and it's been, I think, eight or nine years since our other homie was on it. Both of them have two of the newest specials out on Netflix, Amazon, Apple, YouTube, absolutely everywhere. Make some noise for two of the best in the world. It's Derrick Stroup and Francisco Ramos.

Tony Hinchcliffe (2:55)

yeah. Let's go.

Hey, Derrick, welcome to the great Francisco Ramos. Hey.

Tony Hinchcliffe (3:10)

Derrick has one of the biggest specials on Netflix, Nostalgic, out now. How about a hand for Derrick Stroup making his Kill Tony debut?

Gonna have some fun tonight. And the great Francisco Ramos, who I started with 19 plus years ago at the Comedy Store as Door Guys is here. He's back on Kill Tony for the first time in I think eight years or so. Welcome, Francisco.

Francisco Ramos (3:34)

We're doing it.

Tony Hinchcliffe (3:35)

We're really doing it, Francisco.

Francisco Ramos (3:38)

That's my Tony. We're doing it.

Tony Hinchcliffe (3:40)

We're gonna have a lot of fun tonight. Derrick, it's your first time, so maybe you don't know, but over 250 innocent souls signed up for the opportunity to be on this show tonight. If I pull their name out of the bucket, they get 60 seconds uninterrupted. You know their time is up and you're the son of a kitten. That means they have to wrap it up then they bring out the angriest Hollywood bear, which just interrupts them. Then I conduct an interview with them. We all find out more about them live on the spot. They have no idea they're going on stage until right before they get up here. I'm going to let this innocent little make-a-wish gay soccer player pull the first name. You guys are bumping each other like you knew I was going to say that, huh? Would you call him a gay soccer? Tony's going to say you look like a gay soccer player? You're spot on. You know my brand very well. Predictable Punchlines by Tony Hinchcliffe. Seen a few of those reviews this week. By the way, had to make some edits thanks to our friends over at Netflix and gave myself a little joke book after my special release this week. Fuck all of you. I hate you.

I'm an artist that takes incredible risks. You can all suck my fat cock.

Anyway, while we go wrangle that first bucket pool, we have one of our greatest regulars ever. Here to set the tone for the show with a brand new minute, make some noise, sing along if you know the words. Ladies and gentlemen, the return of one of the greatest regulars ever. Here, blessing us with a brand new minute just to show us how it's done. Make some noise for the great Hans Kim, ladies and gentlemen.
