Kill Tony Is a Nazi Podcast

I would like to share with you two recent clips from the podcast Kill Tony, both featuring the Estonian-born comedian Ari Matti, one of the show’s regulars and an up-and-coming comic in his own right. In the first clip, recorded earlier this month, Matti—an immigrant—jokes about the recent ICE crackdowns, calling immigrants rapists and celebrating the murder of Renee Good. In the second clip, recorded in November 2025, Matti tells a story about a vacation he took to Mexico, where he says he watched a pair of Hasidic Jewish men scam a local merchant.

I don’t usually say this, but I encourage you to watch these clips—they’re fairly short—in addition to reading the transcripts. Matti is a physical performer who makes ample use of gesture and exaggerated facial expressions, and his pantomimes here—especially in the second clip, when he indicates that the Jewish men had payot and play-acts them rubbing their hands together greedily—provide important texture to the jokes. 

They’re also worth watching for the laughter, the applause, and for Matti’s blank, dead eyes.

Here’s the most recent episode, with guests Jim Norton and Ian Fidance:

Tony Hinchcliffe: This regular has it all. He’s selling out giant theaters all around the United States of America, where one day it is very likely that he will be a citizen. But for now he remains the Estonian assassin, this is Ari Matti. 

Ari Matti: So there were ICE raids happening this weekend in Austin. Holy shit. As an immigrant, of course, I am anti-ICE. However, as soon as I get this green card: get these rapists out of my country. That's the sort of dude I am. Once I'm in, I pull the ladder up. Fuck off, we're full. I always thought I'm safe from ICE because I'm white, but holy shit, things have changed. They're shooting white women now, the most valuable commodity in America. God, I felt bad for that lady, but then I watched the whole video. It was about time a Karen got shot. You know what I'm saying? Too much this going on. "This isn't right!" Stop the car, bitch! Only white people feel bad for her. I asked all my Black friends, they were like, "Oh, shot by law enforcement? Welcome to the game, baby." Thank you so much. You guys are awesome.

Hinchcliffe: I mean Jesus fucking Christ. I mean in the history of the show I don’t think we’ve ever really—and I know for a fact we haven’t seen anything quite like what’s happening with the extremely hard-working, unbelievably hysterical Ari Matti. I mean, you’re growing at a rate that’s absolutely insane. You’re using your momentum and star power to—you just have momentum from the get. Ever single thing is fucking hilarious. And we know you’re hilarious so the expectations are ranged, and then boom.

And here’s the earlier episode, with guests Harland Williams and Nick Rochefort. Rochefort, you’ll recall, is a member of the group Million Dollar Extreme with his fellow far-right provocateur Sam Hyde—more on him here and here. 

Matti: Yeah, I went to Cozumel, beautiful island, and, dude, when I was there for the first night, I had such a funny incident where, okay, I Google restaurant, Google Map restaurants, and a lot of kosher. You know?

Hinchcliffe: Uh-huh. Yes. Yeah.

Matti: A lot of kosher. And I'm like, what the fuck? This is Mexico. Fuck kosher. And then, I go outside of my hotel. First thing I see in Cozumel, two Jewish guys. Full, full Jew, full Jew. Not adopted, not hiding at all. Just full with the things, you know. You know, like—

Hinchcliffe: Uh-huh.

Matti: Full, like—

Hinchcliffe: Yeah. Uh-huh.

Matti: And they were arguing. Two Jewish guys, arguing with a Mexican guy who, he's the guy who rents out scooters and motorbikes. And the Mexican is, just when I walked by them, the Mexican is saying, "I keep deposit. Look: scratches. I have evidence. No scratch here before, I have picture. Look, there is scratch.” And then, the Jewish guy goes, "No, no, we need deposit. I also have picture." And then, they show the picture. And then, I go and eat. About 10 minutes later I see the Jewish guys walking away from there with a wad of money in their hand. And then, the other one looks at the guy, he goes, "Photoshop is free, and so are we." 

Hinchcliffe: Wow. So, they're like that in Mexico too?

Matti: Yeah.

Hinchcliffe: Wow. 

Rochefort: Punta Judea. [Ed. note: I think he’s trying to say “fucking Jews” in Spanish, which I believe would be “puto judíos.]

Hinchcliffe: That is incredible. Wow. Amazing.

I operate by a fairly simple epistemic rule: if you say nazi things, nazi referring broadly to people whose political project boils down to “more power for white men” and whose political tactics boil down to “bullying women and minorities,” then I conclude that you have nazi beliefs. If you have nazi beliefs, then I conclude you are a nazi. It is unfashionable in comedy to assume that people believe the things they say, but it takes only a little observation to discover that this is exactly what most of them do, especially when they’re in rooms full of people who agree with them. 

So I submit to you what you likely already know: that Kill Tony is a nazi podcast for nazis.
