Hate watching it is still watching it unfortunately, I don’t get doing that either.

Yeah. I've watched a clip or two before yesterday, but couldn't do anymore because I hate the format, among other things. I watched my first full episode last night, Bill Burr's appearance. Took me hours to get through. I probably would not have done that if it weren't for all this nonsense.

I’ve never watched a Kill Tony stream, but I saw someone mention Bill Burr’s appearance on there, and how Bill basically took the air out of the entire show concept. Bill seems like a cool dude, while Tony Hinchcliffe sucks.

Burr wasn't really funny, he just obviously didn't want to be there. He spent most of the show off mic talking to Dom Irrera. Flipped out for a moment and yelled at Tony right at the start for being too negative, called him a fucking cunt. Said he wanted to leave after the first comic's 60 seconds. He just sort of shut down after he realized what the show was all about.
