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

Tony Hinchcliffe (0:48)

Kill Tony Hinchcliffe! Who's ready for the best night of their lives?

Tony Hinchcliffe (1:31)

The keys on the keys, and that, believe it or not, is the one and only, live in the flesh, D Madness on the bass guitar.

Tony Hinchcliffe (1:38)

Oh my God.

Tony Hinchcliffe (1:41)

How exciting is this? What an episode we have for you here this evening. We're gonna have an absolute fucking blast. Before we get started, here's a little bit more from the amazing sponsors that made it all possible.

You know that moment where you text your whole team, did anyone follow up with that guy? Silence, tumbleweeds, a pig snort, one thumbs up emoji two hours later. Meanwhile, the customer has already moved on, gotten married, started a new business and retired, lost an ear. At some point, you're like, let's fucking QUO. That's why today's episode is brought to you by QUO, spelled Q-U-O, the business phone system built so you never miss a call. Speaking of missing a call, here's Redban.

Brian Redban (2:18)

With QUO, all your calls and texts and voicemails live in one place so anyone on your team can see the full history or respond fast. It's easy to set up on any device. You can keep your existing number and teammates as you grow and QUO's built-in AI agent handles after our calls, answering questions and even books appointments.

Tony Hinchcliffe (2:38)

That's right. I texted a business for a quote the other day, never heard back and just went with the first one that answered. Money is on the line. Always say hello with QUO. Try QUO for free. Plus get 20% off your first six months when you go to killtonyquo.com/killtony.

SPEAKER_6 (2:52)

That's quo.com/killtony.

Tony Hinchcliffe (2:55)

All right. Before we get into it, I got to tell you guys about something. We just launched Kill Tony Plus. Here's the deal. You sign up. You get every new episode ad free and uncensored. We're giving members a brand new angle of the show that's never been seen before. This is as close as you can get to sitting in the audience. You also get bonus content, Q&A episodes, behind the scenes stuff, extra bits you're not getting anywhere else. And there's perks on the merch store too. It's five bucks a month. That's less than a cost of a beer or a pack of cigarettes or a lot of fun things. Links in the description or go straight to killtony.supercast.com to join.

This is a very, very exciting opportunity for all you die hard fans and super haters. Go to killtonysupercast.com. All right, back to the show. Who's ready to start tonight's fucking show, huh?

You know, I'm doing something special tonight. Very rarely for a first time guest do we go solo one guest. I like to break them in and have them on, get them feel the rhythm before ever having them on as a solo guest. But tonight's special because this guy's fucking hilarious. He's taking over. He has a brand new Netflix special that's absolutely crushing it. He's crushing it online, crushing it in life. And I know for a fact that he knows the show.

So, ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure for me to introduce his first ever time on panel, one of the top rising comedians in the world. In fact, he has risen. His Netflix special, Nice to Meet You, is killing on Netflix right now. Make some noise for the Kill Tony panel debut of the great Jeff Arcuri, everybody.

SPEAKER_6 (4:39)

We're going to have some fun tonight.

Tony Hinchcliffe (4:42)

Jeff Arcuri. Welcome, welcome, Jeff. Thank you, dude.

Jeff Arcuri (4:47)

I'm excited, man. What's up, Austin?

Tony Hinchcliffe (4:50)

Look at these beautiful people out here. These real Texans. You got this guy who definitely makes bombs in a shed somewhere. Got a guy with an Indianapolis Colts visor on for some reason. Very, very weird choice. Never really understood the visor. Just a little something to keep the sun out of your eyes, right? But the top of your head free?

Hell yeah. Just in case. Just in case. A man that has a specific way to use the sun. You know what I mean? Still wants that heat on top of the head, but can't have it in your eyes, and you don't wear sunglasses, do you? You do? Wow. You hate the sun.
