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

And one more time for the best band in all the land, huh? Aren't they something? Raúl Vallejo, Fernando Castillo, Carlos Sosa, Tres Leches, Michael Gonzales, Nachos Belgrande, Matt Muehling on the electric guitar, and that is D Madness, Live in the Flesh. The great Jon Deas is on the road tonight, so we're leaving his stool empty in memory of him. Even though he's alive and well. Um, oh, D Madness with extra room. Fuck yeah. Hell yeah. You're not missing much, D. You're not missing much. Yes, yes, you are blind. All right, D.

He's blind. I wish he was mute. You know what I'm saying?

Aaron Heltz (3:09)

Hey, come on now.

Tony Hinchcliffe (3:10)

Let's go. All right. We're going to have a lot of fun tonight. This episode of the number one live podcast in the world is brought to you by Shopify, Tocovas and Salie. How exciting is it to have Salie joining our squad? And here's a little bit more from all the amazing sponsors that made this show possible for you here right now.

Are you guys ready to start tonight's fucking show or what?

SPEAKER_7 (3:39)

Oh, my God.

Tony Hinchcliffe (3:41)

What an episode we have for you, ladies and gentlemen. One of, really two of the best comedians in the world, but one of my best friends is here with us, and a first time panelist that we're very, very excited about. One of our very funny friends from New York and one of the newest great residents of Austin, Texas. Two of the best, make some noise for tonight's guests, Joe Derosa and Mike Finoia, everybody.

SPEAKER_7 (4:03)

Hell yeah.

Tony Hinchcliffe (4:06)

Joe Derosa, my buddy Mike Finoia, joining us for the first time.

A new panelist. How exciting. And Joe Derosa back again, a guy that people say I booked too much.

Joe Derosa (4:22)

Really?

Tony Hinchcliffe (4:22)

This guy's got no other friends in the world other than Joe Derosa, Joe Derosa, Joe Derosa.

Joe Derosa (4:28)

That is true. You might be my only friend.

What do you think that says? About me?

Tony Hinchcliffe (4:40)

We're gonna have some fun. Mike Finoia, welcome, welcome.

Mike Finoia (4:42)

Thank you, brother.

Tony Hinchcliffe (4:43)

Everybody say hi, Mike. Hi!

Mike Finoia (4:46)

Hey, everyone.

Tony Hinchcliffe (4:47)

It's gonna be a lot of fun. Mike, it's your first time on. Joe's done the show a thousand times. But Mike, you might not know. I'm gonna catch you up. There's over 200 human souls that signed up for tonight's show. They get 60 seconds uninterrupted. You know, their time is up and you hear the sound of a kitten. That means they have to wrap it up then, or else they bring out the angry West Hollywood bear, which interrupts their set rudely. And then I conduct a nice interview with them and find out more about them. Anything can happen. Maybe it's a crazy person. Maybe it's a genius. We found them all out of this bucket. I'm gonna have this guy whose eyes are way too close together pull the first name out of the bucket. They might have an operation for that, sir. His wife is patting him on the back because she knows it's true. You look at those things, it's almost a fucking cyclops.

It's unbelievable, sir. Like when you just did that, he just laughed like that and his fingers were so close together.
