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

Whoo!
Texas, late in July. Welcome. Welcome. Holy shit. ACs be breaking. This is a real live show. Anything can happen. Happens everywhere. Doesn't matter how much money Spotify gives you. ACs be breaking in Texas. A good old stress test here today. You see people fanning themselves. There's a Latino woman with an actual portable fan. I don't know how she snuck that in here. They lock up phones, but I guess you're allowed to shove a portable fan up your puss. Anything can happen here. As you can tell, this is an action-packed episode. Before we get started, here's a little bit more from the amazing sponsors that made it all possible.
the sunset strip comedy club in austin texas is now open check out red band secret show every thursday go to sunset strip atx.com for tickets who's ready to start tonight's fucking show huh
Well, well, well. You know, every single week I book the show, and I can tell you with no ego, we're really doing it, Red Band. This is one of those very special nights. You guys hit the fucking comedy lottery. You did it. You did it. This is one of those big ones. Ladies and gentlemen, I present two of the greatest guests in the show's history. This is indeed Shane Gillis and Matt McCusker.
Shane Dillons! Matt McCusker! Woo! It's crazy how much hotter it is out here. Yeah, it's... It's, uh... I love you.
Mikes!
Hey, hey, guys!
Two, three, four. It is unbelievably hot. Like, fucking blows. It is incredible.
I don't want to bring it up because I know that, you know, you're thinking about it. The crazy thing is that the AC works well in some places right now. The other room, which is an open mic filled with absolute bottom-of-the-barrel peasants, they are chilling, 69 degrees in there. The green room, 71 degrees, right behind that curtain. Very, very nice. It was nice right behind there, Matt, right before we went on. It's like, it's not that bad. I was like, wait till we fucking walk out. This is where God has decided the heat will lay tonight. Matt, how you feeling down there?
Pretty good. I'm thinking we can like alternate breathing between guys and girls every 30 seconds.
We're going to have to come up with some kind of plan. The AC guy is here. I'm going to ask management, if anyone's listening, wave to me before he leaves. I want an update. Maybe we can get the AC guy to agree to a quick appearance, live appearance. Maybe he can explain himself. Whatever we do, do not let that guy fucking leave without giving me some kind of signal. I know he was just planning on another quick stop on a 6th Street fucking dungeon-esque bar, but he might end up in front of 5.5 million people real quick. Who gives a fuck? Right? Should we harass the AC guy? Anything can happen here. You guys have been guests numerous times on the show. 305 human souls signed up for tonight's show. Matt and Shane know what the fuck is up.
