"I exercise a lot, so I climb trees and then I do backflips off of them. 400 reps a day."

Host Tony Hinchcliffe presented a high-energy episode of Kill Tony live from the Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas, featuring guests Shane Gillis and James McCann. The show saw a series of bucket pulls producing wildly entertaining and controversial moments, including multiple confessions of criminal activity and bizarre personal revelations. The episode opened with golden ticket winner Martin Phillips performing material about human trafficking wordplay before transitioning into the bucket pulls. Stand-out moments included 26-year-old Cameron Shepherd claiming a dangerous backflip routine, Utah comedian Dickie revealing a 0.25 blood alcohol DUI arrest while on mushrooms and admitting to weapons charges from a DEA raid, and an extended interview with Matt Gonzalez that culminated in a live phone call to his brother discussing their shared interest in sex toys. The show maintained a distinctly Latino flavor throughout, with numerous Hispanic comedians appearing from the bucket. Regular Pat O'Neill closed the show with new material about his girlfriend relationships and bedroom activities.
