KILL TONY #771 - BRAD WILLIAMS + TIMMY NO BRAKES
"I really stole the Hot Pocket. I was an aquatic director at the YMCA. I used to train with Michael Phelps. I'm from Baltimore."
Comedian Ty Funny confirmed he was fired from his position as aquatic director at the YMCA for stealing a coworker's Hot Pocket from the microwave. Despite being from Baltimore and training with Olympic champion Michael Phelps, making him an elite swimmer who defies racial stereotypes, he lost his job over the theft of a single frozen food item.

About this episode

Tony Hinchcliffe hosted episode 780 of Kill Tony at the Comedy Mothership in Austin, featuring guest panelists Brad Williams and surprise appearance by breakout regular Timmy No Breaks in his first-ever panel spot. The episode, sponsored by Netflix promoting the Roast of Kevin Hart and Kill Tony Mania special, featured a chaotic mix of amateur comedians pulled from a bucket alongside regular Pat O'Neill opening the show with sharp racial and political jokes. The night took several shocking turns when Michael K revealed he spent what would now be hundreds of millions in Bitcoin on cocaine from the Silk Road darknet marketplace 15 years ago and was later subpoenaed for his role at the failed Mt. Gox exchange. Bobby Ludlum disclosed he forgot he had been shot for three years until a jail body scanner revealed a bullet in his kneecap. Japanese comedian Daisuke, a 23-year veteran performing in broken English he learned two years ago, delivered one of the night's strongest sets about being a kamikaze comedian who returns to Japan every three months to make money. UFC veteran Eric Spicely claimed WWE told him to use steroids after rejecting him for being too small. Remington Blake Windsor, wearing an ankle monitor, confessed to two DUIs in 14 days and carrying brass knuckles. The episode also featured golden ticket winner Angel Diaz discussing his sexual techniques in graphic detail, Ty Funny revealing he was fired as a YMCA aquatic director for stealing a Hot Pocket despite training with Michael Phelps, and multiple amateur comedians bombing spectacularly while Timmy No Breaks ate garlic bread and drank from a juice box throughout the show.
