Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Hey, this is Red Band, and you're listening to Kill Tony on the Death Squad Podcast Network. Yeah, they decided to go with the name Kill Tony. This doesn't really take an effect until the third episode when Tony announces that he wants to change it to Kill Tony. The audience agreed.
At first, I wasn't a big fan of the name, but then when Tony describes it in the third episode, I like his explanation. And I think it's easier to find for people that don't want to try to spell Hinchcliffe. And, you know, I think it's all about marketing yourself so people can find it. So I get it.
Chapter 2: How does the podcast name change and why?
But anyways, so this podcast is now called Kill Tony. You can see it live every Monday at the Comedy Store starting at 8 p.m. We have Death Squad Night at the Comedy Store.

Hey, this is Red Band coming to you live from the Comedy Store here on Hollywood, California for a brand new episode of the Hinchcliffe Notes.
Give it up for your host, Tony Hinchcliffe. This is immediately an extremely, extremely exciting show.
Yeah, it is.
How was your weekend, Brian?
My week, I think I might have said this already, but my week consisted of drinking a whole bottle of tequila and a whole bottle of Southern Comfort and then blacking out and then talking to some girl on Facebook I met in Tokyo last week. And then I guess I bought a plane ticket for her to stay with me for seven days from Tokyo. Wow. Put your hands together for that, everybody.
Who's living that kind of life in this room to where you're having so much fun in life that you wake up the next morning and you find out that you have a pet Japanese girl that's living with you for a week after that?
And let's just say when I did meet her, I met her at a strip club, and I only knew her for probably six hours. And I've probably talked to her three times on Facebook. And I didn't have $1,000 just to blow. And so now I'm fucked in so many ways. And then she stayed with me. And, like, look, seven days is either you can fall in love with somebody or you can murder them.

Chapter 3: What personal stories are shared about relationships?
Put your hands together for the new head of security of my podcast, the Iron Patriot, everybody.
There he is.
That's right. He's here, and he's in the flesh. He's the one and the only. Iron Patriot. The Iron Patriot. Love it. Iron Patriot. So much like the Iron Man, but it's the Iron Patriot. I'm red, white, and blue. I'm looking forward to 4th of July. Is that one of your catchphrases? Right now, I just thought of it. I love it. Well, welcome to the show. We're so glad to have you be part of it.
We're hoping that... Well, we'll see how it goes on this test run, but we're definitely going to perhaps be in talks about having you be the regular head of security for my podcast. There's nothing like head of security that can't see where he's walking.
He fell on me earlier, and somehow... This is what I didn't want to tell you about at the beginning. Somehow, my hand got in this crotch area... And I actually touched your dick. Did you know? No, that was my hand. It's rather dark in here. Yeah. I think that's your secret.
I think it's the old Folly touch my dick move, Iron Man. He really is. Oh, look at that. That's why you're in town. It's all coming together. Nothing like having a head of security whose last words to me before the show were, there's no steps around where I'm standing, Arthur. But I'm excited to have you.
I just really hope that your presence alone is enough of a defense mechanism so that nobody harms me physically. Oh, wait. Well, we have a question, a very aggressive question coming from the balcony. This guy's very excited. It's Jordan. I'm thinking merchandising for you, Tony. Can that be the first shirt? Wait, what? For the Iron Patriot. The Iron Patriot's the worst superhero perhaps ever.
He just has no idea where he's... I mean, it's great. Don't get me wrong. But, I mean, there's no defending the galaxy with this guy. There's basically just stand in one place. I wonder what more great bad superhero catchphrases we could come up with. If I fall on you, it'd be painful, though. That's a good catchphrase. I don't know if you meant that or...
I don't know if you're just saying that or you knew what you were doing. These lights can blind your eyes too. Get up close to this. You have to go really close to that. You have to get really close and you have to keep your eyes wide open. See, that's another good catchphrase though. Put your eyeball right next to this light. I don't bend, I break. We could go all night. This is great. Anyway.

Chapter 4: What insights are offered on comedy performance and technique?
So it's a pleasure for me to bring up my guest tonight, the person who's going to be going over the comedian's work with me for this show. One of my very good friends. Everybody on the Death Squad knows him. Everybody from The Hangover knows him. Chelsea lately. This guy's got credits out of the wazoo.
His best credit is that he is probably literally one of the funniest comedians in the world right now. Put your hands together for my guest tonight. Episode 2, Brody Stevens, everybody. The Hangover. Hangover 2. New Date. Chelsea Lately. Over 2,000 crowd warm-ups. The Burn. Comedy Central show coming out in a couple months called Enjoy It. Brody Stevens, everybody. Steven Brody Stevens.
You got it. All right. Thank you for having me here, Tony. Positive energy. You got it. Are you excited about the Iron Patriot? Yeah, I think he's a great character. He's a great person. I saw him walking down the street, and he was strong. He was protecting Sunset Boulevard. And thank you for being here. Iron Patriot. There he is. You saw him when he was walking down Sunset?
Yeah, he was very walking straight. A lot of 90-degree angles. And you were really just walking down. I saw you. And I'll tell you what, when you said you knew me, I felt good. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah.
Thank you.
Fuck yeah. You are the coolest fucking thing that's ever walked in here. He's a cool guy. The Iron Patriot. Let him hear it, everybody. Yes. Push and believe. You want to smell the iron penis? He doesn't stand outside Mann's Chinese Theater. He stands out at Lemley's Theater. Yes, you got it. Smart guy. Stands outside Lemley's Theater. That was the joke. It's funny. He stood outside of Lemley's.
It's funny. Oh, man. It's exciting. So it's been a big weekend for you, Brody, right?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. It was a great weekend. Gay pride weekend? Well, traffic was ridiculous. I couldn't get anywhere. And on top of that, my float broke down. So thank you for not laughing. Saturday was great. I went to Dodger Stadium and I met Sandy Koufax. Who here knows Sandy Koufax? An American legend. An icon. The Wilt Chamberlain of baseball. He played for the Cleveland Indians, right?

Chapter 5: What dietary changes are being discussed?
All right, let's do it.
I'm already cutting out soda. Cool. I had an orange crush for lunch. You got it. Eating local pastrami on rye. Pay a couple extra bucks to get some personality. See you later, Subway. I go to an original sandwich artist. His name is Herman the German. All right. I mean, all right, Tony. How dare you? You and your veggie grill. I'm excited about. Oh, okay. Well, this is a new name to me.
I'm excited to see what we're. Oh, marriage from Felipe Ramirez, everybody. Here we go. Felipe Ramirez. Ramirez, what happened? Oh, snap. INS show up. See, there you go.
He's on a bus back to Tijuana as we speak.
I love how Brody can talk about whatever he wants, but every time I even get close to a slight dull edge, it's, oh, Tony, how dare you? The guy's not here, a Latino guy, and I said INS showed up. That's just a basic joke. Let me see if he's sleeping out back.

Chapter 6: What are the comedic insights shared about performance?
Oh, that's racist. What? That's racist. He actually cut my lawn this morning. Luckily, a bunch of people signed up, even though there's more spots. Keep it moving. Good job, Tony Henshaw. Put your hands together. Hey, you know what there's not enough jokes about that I've noticed is Thought That Counts from Nick Bouvier or something. You actually got it right. Bouvier? Wow. Bouvier, yeah.
Awesome. French. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Nick, everybody. There he is. I really hate when people say inconsiderate shit like I love you or it's the thought that counts is the one that really pisses me off. It's the thought that counts pisses me off more than you realize. There's no lazier way to tell me that you're a negligent friend than it's the thought that counts.
Like if you buy me a pair of socks for Christmas and you tell me it's the thought that counts, obviously you don't think that much of me. Yeah, so it's a new thing. Obviously. I love it. Why'd you stop? I don't have much else. It's new, so I don't really have much after that. All right, you want to... My opinion?
Chapter 7: How does the discussion about cursing in comedy unfold?
Yeah, go ahead. I would say... I don't even know what the bit was, but I think you have good, strong presence up there. Like, hold the mic. I mean, you actually see how he holds the mic?
Yeah, I noticed it was six inches from his face.
Yeah, it was good. But I didn't see the bit, but I think, I mean, I saw it, but like, likability matters. You want to maybe come off with a little bit of a smile, how you doing, that kind of thing. Like I said, I like how you enunciate. I like how you held the mic. But I think a little more likability up front, a smile, how you doing.
And, again, I know it's a one-minute thing and what have you, but I think that's what I picked up. I agree with that smile thing. You could definitely pull off because you already seem likable. I think that is definitely a missing part. Maybe it's just because of the one-minute set. Well, he's a big guy, too.
Wait, that was 30-second set, by the way.
How long have you been doing stand-up for? Oh, I thought you said stand-up for me. I'm like, why? That's weird and kind of creepy. Yeah, definitely. No, I'm new. I'm like a couple months in. Oh, also one thing I picked up. You don't need to curse. I think saying shit or saying fuck or whatever, it's like... You don't need to say them.

Chapter 8: What feedback is given to the new comedians?
Some people use it as a crutch. Some people use it as a punchline. Some people use it out of nervousness. I would say if we don't know you, you're just getting started. I see somebody cursing. This is just me. I go, how dare he? I don't want to hear shit and fuck. I don't know this guy. That's just my instinct.
Whereas I just think it's a healthy thing to like when you're starting out, I wouldn't curse. Okay. But I'm not – again, that's the rule, not the exception.
I disagree with Brody again. Oh, you son of a – you son of a bitch. I say if you curse in real life, you curse in person, and that's the biggest thing that if – I thought your presentation was very – if you talked to me like that, I thought you'd be selling me something. It seems you are very strict. You should just talk in the mic how you'd be talking to your best friend.
Do you swear in real life like that? All the fucking time, actually. I don't like it. I don't like it. Call me old school. There's a reason why you can't say shit on NBC and they buy the Olympics. So if you want to go watch Channel 9 and watch FX and hear fuck, they're not buying the Olympics.
And there's also a reason why people are downloading their stand-up comedy now and not watching it on NBC like they used to have to. And it's because they can hear real people talk about real things. And in five years that will be bought the Olympics. Everybody wants to be on Comedy Central, right? I think so. Yeah, I agree. Well, I don't curse and I made it there.
I didn't say one curse word on my half hour special. There you go.
Absolutely. I do not want to be on Comedy Central.
Right. Not everybody wants to be on TV. It's just a bad – I think it's – especially when you're starting, I think it's a good idea not to curse. You watch – they say fucking shit on the Super Bowl. It's a good idea to try to write around it, but it's also a great idea to work on being yourself. And if that's who you really are and that's how you – I don't want to hear it then.
Then you're out. If a guy's saying fucking shit and he's a three-months guy. But you cuss on stage. When my buttons are pushed and I've earned the right, I don't swear when I do audience warm-up. No way. Well, right, because... Because what? Because there's repercussions when you're doing audience warm-up.
