Heidi (0:47)

Get up for Tony Hinchcliffe!

Tony Hinchcliffe (1:12)

And that is the best damn band in all the land. Make some fucking noise for them, huh? Raul Vallejo, Carlos Sosa, Michael Gonzales, Esteban Viejo, Nachos Belgrande, Tres Leches.

How about a hand for the great Matt Muehling on the electric guitar? Jon Deas on the keys. And this is the one and only D Madness on the bass guitar here. Oh Lordy, what an episode we have for you tonight. As always here on the number one live podcast in the world for many years running and it's because of our amazing sponsors. And here's a little bit more from them.

Are you guys ready to start tonight's show or what? Every single week I book this MAMA JAMA. Normally two of the best comedians in the world, but every once in a while, we have a guest that is so fucking good, that's so great that we want to give it a little room to breathe. I present to you one of the greatest guests in the history of the show, a person who people say one of the best guests ever, guest of the year multiple times before we even started giving out that award. When we were on the come up, this guy was crushing for us. He's also literally one of the best comedians of all time. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's guest, the one, the only, the great, Jimmy Carr.

Heidi (3:08)

Oh my God. The legend, the king, the man. We love him.

We love Jimmy Carr.

Pat O'Neill (3:18)

Look at that, they're on their feet. For the King of London.

Tony Hinchcliffe (3:25)

The Jokesmith. The man himself.

Jimmy Carr (3:29)

Well, I can't believe your luck, I'm here.

Tony Hinchcliffe (3:33)

We are so happy to have you back. Every time, anytime, you are the man. Our chemistry is unbelievable. Some people say we're two of the funniest ventriloquist dolls on planet Earth.

Jimmy Carr (3:47)

It would have been OK in music hall, wouldn't it? A thousand years ago, we would have fun.

Tony Hinchcliffe (3:51)

We've always had fun. Jimmy, you know how the show goes. Over 200 innocent souls signed up for this bucket tonight. Anything can happen. Sometimes, lately, we've had some real, real good veterans of the game. Some 20, 30, 40 year comedy vets have been signing up, trying to make it finally in their lives. And they do here. They finally get the respect they've been looking for. Sometimes, it's a brand new mentally ill person that didn't practice or try at all, which people also love that too. Either way, 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 anguished Hollywood bear, which interrupts their set. And then we conduct an interview.

Jimmy Carr (4:30)

I love the phrase brand new mentally ill.

Tony Hinchcliffe (4:32)

Oh, yeah.

Jimmy Carr (4:34)

Like, there weren't mentally ill yesterday, but today it's gone too far.

Tony Hinchcliffe (4:37)

Oh, yeah. It happens fast. Oh, they snap fast. Some people go into Shakespeare's, the crazy bar next door, where we keep them all huddled together.

And they're not even mentally ill when they go in there. And then after 20, 40 minutes around the other comedians, they have, for some reason, they've decided to do a deal where pitchers of vodka soda are of an extremely low price. I can't imagine the gasoline-like vodka that they're putting in there. I'm gonna have Lindsey Graham's granddaughter pull the first name out of the bucket tonight. And while we go wrangle that first bucket pull, we're gonna get tonight's show started with a brand new set from one of our golden ticket winners, everybody. It's been a while since we've seen this young man, and he is indeed very young, one of the youngest ever golden ticket winners in the show's history, winning it at the age of 21 He's now 22 He's a musical prodigy. Getting us started tonight, he goes by the name, put your hands together, for Tony Scar, everybody. Here we go.
