And there's Dee Madness, also sunglasses, ladies and gentlemen. He stays awake the entire time. Just in case. Just in case that vision comes back for a sweet, sweet second.

176.515 - 221.266 Tony Hinchcliffe

Get that fucking fly out of here. It's the CNN fly. They have little drones. They bring them to Joe Rogan's club and try to get fucking... I'm gonna kill this thing before we do this. I'm gonna kill this fucking thing. Come on. Where is it? Come on. Here we go. Okay, here we go. Son of a bitch. I think it's gone. Who's ready to start tonight's fucking episode, huh? Here we go.

221.286 - 243.248 Tony Hinchcliffe

Every single week, I purposefully book two, sometimes one, sometimes three, but I have fun matching up the chemistries. I envision how would these two work together. Every single week, I put a lot of thought into this. This one is a special one. Two of the guests of the year, front runners right now for 2025.

0

244.491 - 250.189 Tony Hinchcliffe

Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for two of the greats, James McCann and Dave Landau.

254.877 - 264.293 Dave Landau

Donald Forbes. McCann is back. And his new special, Black Israelite, is on YouTube.

265.175 - 275.232 Tony Hinchcliffe

Dave Landau's new book, Party of One, out now on Amazon. Welcome back, gentlemen. James McCann, one of the most used guests in 2025.

276.325 - 285.197 Robert

What a joy it is to be here once again. At this beautiful club with these beautiful people. Dave, hello. Hey. Hello.

285.378 - 285.458

Wow.

Chapter 3: What new projects do James McCann and Dave Landau share?

795.216 - 800.435 Tony Hinchcliffe

Why don't you say something funny about it? It made me never want to have sex again.

0

800.475 - 825.238 Robert

Why? Because it was gross. It was weird. I did a 4D thing where the chairs are rocking and it sprayed water in my face. It was really upsetting. Was it like a squirt? What was the reason for the water? I don't really understand. I think you go into a pussy and it sprays water in your face. There it is. That's how it goes. Should I have opened with that?

0

825.826 - 829.23 Tony Hinchcliffe

No, no, you're doing fine, Colin. It's all good, buddy.

0

829.25 - 830.952 Robert

Okay. It's my birthday. Bye.

0

832.474 - 864.493 Tony Hinchcliffe

Okay. Wow. All right. One more ultra-lame thing to say. Okay. Super crazy. All right, there he goes. Colin Sledge, everyone. Oh, Lord. These slow-moving flies. These flies are out of control, guys. We need to make sure this doesn't happen again. I'm sure there's ways around it.

Chapter 4: How do James and Dave feel about their experiences in comedy?

865.174 - 894.36 Tony Hinchcliffe

We have 12 fucking production assistants, all of them just watching flies all day, I'm sure. Just like, well, that'll be fun. Maybe it'll add an exciting element to the show. Joe Robin's Fly Museum. All right. I mean, what can I say, ladies and gentlemen? This is one of the wildest bucket pools. She just happened a couple weeks ago. She's back. She is back. Make some noise for Juanita, everybody.

0

901.968 - 933.342 Juanita

Kill Tony, do any of you suffer from depression, anxiety, mental health? Make some noise, yeah? That sucks I don't. Just a perfectly normal 37-year-old overweight transgender comedy prodigy. Killing the game. A friend of the show and my 400-pound friend, Sally Contreras, she struggles with her mental health, and she confided in me one day.

0

933.362 - 962.77 Juanita

She said, I'm chucking myself into a psych ward because I'm not feeling well. And I told her, that is good because you're taking action. She goes, people keep telling me that, but what I want to do is walk my ass onto oncoming traffic. I told her, girl, don't you dare say that. And don't you dare do that. You're just gonna fuck up somebody's car. 400 pounds.

0

963.331 - 972.689 Juanita

I'm a good friend though, I gave her advice. I said, you should walk in front of a train. It's more efficient.

0

972.709 - 980.201 Tony Hinchcliffe

Okay, Juanita. Hell yeah. How do you feel about that one, Ida?

980.702 - 981.383 Juanita

I feel great.

981.683 - 998.612 Tony Hinchcliffe

Hell yeah. I find it odd that you called out your friend by name on a huge show and then talked about how they were suicidal. It's kind of crazy to do. You notice that you did that at all?

998.677 - 1001.822 Juanita

No, I did. We've talked about talking about it on the show.

1001.963 - 1013.262 Tony Hinchcliffe

So you kind of like plugged her just then. Talking about how she wanted to kill herself on the biggest show in the industry. Do you think about these things? Have you become a woman that much to where you've become that selfish?

Chapter 5: What does Augie Lee do for work?

4083.057 - 4092.2 Juanita

Yeah, just cool, like, vintage shit, I guess. Wow. Gucci sunglasses. They pay you for bringing stuff to a thrift store? No, no.

0

4092.901 - 4101.136 Brian Redban

Other people... I get paid to bring it in while other people donate. I'm sorry. I had a very exciting moment where I thought I could get rid of all my shit.

0

4102.698 - 4106.024 Robert

But you said they're coming in and they're complaining. They're like, this should be $20.

0

4106.324 - 4108.668 Brian Redban

Yeah, yeah, exactly. But they're not getting any money for it.

0

4108.688 - 4111.573 Robert

They just want the dignity of the product to get a high price.

4111.834 - 4113.076 Juanita

Yeah. That's weird.

Chapter 6: What interesting stories come from working at a thrift store?

4113.256 - 4117.804 Juanita

It is weird. It is weird. It's like, come on, we're doing it like a third of the price anyways or whatever.

0

4118.797 - 4137.972 Tony Hinchcliffe

Augie, do you do drugs? I don't know. Tony, does it look like I do drugs? You know what? Yeah, it does. A little bit. What kind of drugs do you do? I like acid a lot. Okay. When's the last time you did acid? What time today?

0

Chapter 7: What unexpected experiences did Augie have while on acid?

4138.012 - 4140.096 Tony Hinchcliffe

Actually...

0

4140.498 - 4153.333 James McCann

I did it a couple weeks ago, and while I was on acid, we were just chilling on the couch, and we were trying to write something, but we saw a rat running across into my bathroom.

0

4153.934 - 4156.557 Tony Hinchcliffe

Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah.

0

4156.577 - 4157.759 Mario Z

I was like, is this real?

0

4158.78 - 4177.882 Tony Hinchcliffe

Yeah. And the rat, it was the whole thing on acid, and my friends were just fucking with me the whole night. That was the last time I took acid, by the way. That was it. I mean, I've... A few weeks ago. Yeah, a few weeks ago. Yeah. Awesome. How about drinking? You do a lot of drinking? Like a Jack and Coke guy. How about today? Bath salts? Sorry.

Chapter 8: How does Augie's relationship with his girlfriend evolve?

4178.042 - 4196.996 Tony Hinchcliffe

Did you drink today? What if I just fucking eat his face off? Get out, Tony! You're a wild boy, Augie. Did you drink today, Augie? Yeah, a little. I had one drink. My friend Matt was like, you're getting one drink only.

0

4197.717 - 4200.021 James McCann

He's going to fuck with you.

0

4200.401 - 4201.463 Pat O'Neill

Yeah, I was like, okay.

0

4201.963 - 4206.129 Tony Hinchcliffe

And then I'm here. It happened. Yeah. You scared?

0

4206.169 - 4211.036 Juanita

How do you feel? A little bit. I've been watching you guys since I was like 13 years old. Wow.

4211.436 - 4235.406 Tony Hinchcliffe

How old are you now? I'm 24. Amazing. Okay. So with that said, you've been watching that long. You're in the interview part right now. What would you want you to do in this part of the show? You've been watching for a long time. Wow. This is it. I know, I know, right? You good at anything? You have any special skills or talents? You know how to yodel or anything like that?

4235.986 - 4239.31 Dave Landau

Yodeling, yodeling, yodeling.

4239.33 - 4267.585 Tony Hinchcliffe

No, I can't. So no. No, but... I don't always try. I'll try anything once. I like karaoke. I love karaoke. I bet you do. I make music and stuff too, but I will sing anything. No. But no, yeah, no. Don't let me do that. Anything crazy about your family or your life history? Any near-death experiences? You ever save anybody's life? You ever do anything good?

4267.605 - 4268.326 Brian Redban

I haven't saved anyone's life.
