Whoo!

124.113 - 153.613 Tony Hinchcliffe

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.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of the AC situation during the show?

458.29 - 466.058 William Montgomery

But anyway, circumcision started because God told Abraham to do it.

0

466.519 - 485.481 Tony Hinchcliffe

He also told him to kill his son, and then he took it back as it passed. So maybe he waited too long to say something. You know, he came back. He was like, oh, by the way, you know, oh, crap. You did it. All right. Looks great.

0

485.983 - 492.784 Unknown

You told everyone to do it. Guess it's a thing now.

493.085 - 513.085 Tony Hinchcliffe

Okay. Martin Phillips with a brand new minute. Acknowledging the heat up top. How does the heat affect your condition? I just sweat like a motherfucker. Anything else when it gets real hot? Can you straighten out your legs or anything?

513.105 - 516.368 William Montgomery

I think I just get heat exhaustion.

516.388 - 518.731 Tony Hinchcliffe

Oh, okay. So you're human other than... Yeah.

519.392 - 522.855 William Montgomery

I'm a heavy sweater, so I definitely gotta...

522.835 - 524.517 Unknown

Okay.

526.399 - 539.535 Tony Hinchcliffe

Heavy sweater. You're dressed for the occasion. You're one of the only people wearing shorts tonight on the crew. Well, yeah. You texted me like 15 minutes ago, so... Okay, perfect. Nobody needed to know that, but I guess that's fine.

Chapter 3: How do the guests react to the heat and the audience?

555.295 - 566.728 Matt McCusker

Give me time, give me time. You gotta call him on fucking Friday. Here you go. Brother, we're gonna need pants by Monday. Me too, by the way.

570.613 - 574.257 Tony Hinchcliffe

Oh, shit. Martin, you ever have a bad experience putting on your pants?

Yeah, I know. Fuck you, dude.

582.258 - 591.506 William Montgomery

Fuck you. Fuck you, asshole. Yeah, yeah. Or, you know, if it was a button-up shirt, then maybe, but then... I can just get them off, you know?

592.226 - 592.447 Shane Gillis

It's easy.

592.467 - 598.131 Matt McCusker

That looks smooth as hell. That was nice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's better than me. I got to, like, lay down.

Yeah. Thanks, fat fuck.

1130.606 - 1164.107 Tony Hinchcliffe

There he goes. Appreciate it. Oh, here's a little joke book, Daniel. There you go. Nice catch. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm getting word that the man that we all want to talk to is here. I present to you, for the first time in the show's history, this is the AC guy! Wow! Wow! Look at the crowd going absolutely wild. This is incredible, a monumental moment in the history of Kill Tony.

1164.127 - 1186.566 Tony Hinchcliffe

12 years and three months, yet we've never spoken to an AC guy live on the show before. Sir, what is your name? My name is Dean. Dean, hell yeah. Well, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. The crowd is doing their own thing. Let's see if he actually, did you fix it? I feel it.

Oh, damn. Wow. Unbelievable. Dean, tell us about it. What was the issue?

1199.817 - 1204.225 Shane Gillis

So the issue was you guys tripped the smoke alarm with your smoke machines.

1207.03 - 1215.405 Tony Hinchcliffe

Oh, it was the haze. The new upgrade to the camera is a little bit of haze. So how do we avoid that in the future, Dean?

1215.453 - 1219.918 William Montgomery

Uh, truthfully, if you're using smoke machines, probably not. Okay, can't do it.

1220.359 - 1228.909 Tony Hinchcliffe

All right, let's reset the cameras. Recalibrate the cameras to zero haze. I'm your biggest fan. There you go. Thank you.
