Joel Lindley

59 years old with roughly 40 years in comedy, and got pulled two weeks in a row, which Tony called extremely rare. Moved to Austin about a month before the episode, was in special ed as a kid and jokes that he reads at a third grade level. Talked about his late best friend, comedy store legend John Mulrooney (captioned 'John Morun' / 'John Mol Rooney'), who was supposed to move to Austin with him and died after slipping on ice. Also covered his 89-year-old mother Joyce, getting a vasectomy at 32 to keep sleeping with a woman who wanted a baby, and delivered a string of old-school one-liners during the interview that Tony praised as a clinic.

Kill Tony debut despite 40 years in comedy, and the second 59-year-old in a row to open the bucket. Started in his hometown of Rochester, NY (Yuk Yuks, the Funny Bone), was in LA roughly 1996-2003, worked as a writer and feature act, and now works cruise ships. Moved to Austin three weeks earlier. Set was all bits about dating Black women ('white Jackie Robinson' per Brian Moses). Dave Landau recalled opening for him in Pennsylvania and remembered his fake $300,000 bank receipt pickup trick; he also carries a Red Cross donation card to dodge condoms. Performs with Quinn Dahle.
