The Kill Tony Origin Story w/ Brian Redban | Not A Damn Chance! Podcast
Description
Brian Redban joins Phillip Frankland Lee and Neen Williams to trace the wild, unfiltered journey from filming Joe Rogan on mini-DV tapes to co-creating The Joe Rogan Experience and building a comedy empire with Kill Tony.
Redban opens up about the early chaos of live-streaming before YouTube even existed, launching DeathSquad, helping friends like Tom Segura and Ari Shaffir start their podcasts, and how he and Tony Hinchcliffe turned a tiny open-mic night into a sold-out Madison Square Garden phenomenon.
He shares behind-the-scenes stories of the early JRE days, Joey Diaz meltdowns, Carlos Mencia’s downfall, surviving LA’s madness, and why moving to Austin changed everything. It’s a masterclass in DIY hustle, resilience, and betting on yourself—with plenty of Redban’s signature chaos along the way.
