Returning comic the show has known since its Los Angeles era and an early Austin road show at Spider House Ballroom; 11 years doing stand-up, Asian, from Pflugerville. Set covered drinking PBR, his parkour-artist older brother and his gastroenterologist sister. Spent much of the interview needling the two panelists for never reaching back once they made it, performed a mid-90s-style rap he wrote ten years ago about trading sex for food, and openly campaigned for headlining spots plus plugs for his Tuesday green room show and his Wednesday house show. Tony offered him a spot on the Thursday secret show.
