KT: Behind the Tape (Ep: 789 Tim Butterly + Kirk Fox)

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

What time does everybody come in this green room?

Brian Redban (0:02)

Probably like an hour and a half.

SPEAKER_3 (0:04)

Oh, there's a little bit left.

SPEAKER_4 (0:08)

Call my phone until you need me, baby.

SPEAKER_5 (0:45)

The research is, Killtony saved my life. She had a massive stroke two years ago in August, and watching the show got her through her hospital to 19 days in critical care. So this is for Tony Redban, hope they love it. Can't wait to see the show tonight, it's our first time here.

SPEAKER_6 (0:58)

That's incredible, really.

Ashley (0:59)

Yes, yes. This is the day it happened?

SPEAKER_5 (1:01)

That's the day it happened.

Ashley (1:03)

I was completely paralyzed on my left side, and I had never heard of Killtony, so he actually brought an Apple TV into the hospital and plugged it up to the TV. And the first show we were watched was the one with Shane Gillis and Adam Ray as, see, I can't remember, as Trump and Biden. And we would be laughing so hard that the staff would come in and be like, nobody's supposed to be laughing in a stroke unit, people are dying. And I was like, we're not, we're having a good time because of this show. They would come in and watch it with us and laugh. And it was amazing, it literally helped me. We looked forward to it every Monday. And we were in the hospital for a long time, so this is amazing. I won the lottery to get here, so I'm probably going to start crying.

How's your health now? It's so much better. I mean, it's so much better. It's not perfect, but it's better. And the one thing I didn't lose was my sense of humor.

I don't like stairs or escalators, but I love Kill Tony. Or bicycles. Or skiing, but everything else is fantastic.

SPEAKER_8 (2:23)

So, where are y'all from?

Ashley (2:25)

Birmingham, Alabama.

SPEAKER_8 (2:27)

Did you fly here?

Ashley (2:28)

We did. First time here. First time to Austin. Pretty amazing. We've been sitting over at the Blind Pig, or Flying Pig, or Pub. Again, I can't see that far. My vision's not good anymore. So, this is gonna be kind of funny, I guess. But we're so excited about tonight. So, this has truly been like a blessing, like a dream come true. We all tried to enter the lottery, and like my stepdaughter won. They're up there watching and waving.

So, this is amazing.

SPEAKER_5 (2:58)

That's my daughter up there waving. She flew in, they flew in from Colorado to be here with us.

Ashley (3:10)

So, we are so excited and thankful. So, we picked out some special items from the store that we own.

SPEAKER_5 (3:16)

We own a store for them, and they have some personalized items with their initials on it.

Ashley (3:19)

For Mr. Tony and Brian Redban.
