Former UFC fighter Nate Diaz appeared on Kill Tony, a live podcast that was held at New York’s Madison Square Garden and aired on NetFlix.
Hosted by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe and Brian Redban, the duo are usually joined by a celebrity guest host or hosts on their podcast, which is one of the most popular in the world. Hinchcliffe randomly draw names from a bucket of aspiring stand-up comedians who are given the opportunity to perform a minute of stand-up comedy for the panel and a live audience, followed by an interview.
“They get pulled out of this bucket, they get one minute uninterrupted,” Hinchliffe said as he announced the rules to the live audience. “You know their set is up when you hear the sound of a kitten. That means they have to wrap it up then or else they bring out the angry, West Hollywood bear, which has always been with us…”
A large bear appeared on the screen above the stage and that is when Diaz walked out to the audience’s cheers.
“Nate Diaz, the master of the Stockton slap,” Hinchcliffe introduced the 27-fight UFC veteran. “UFC, future hall of famer. One of the kings of California… If bucket pulls [comedians] go over their minute, they get slapped across the face by Nate Diaz tonight,” Hinchcliffe said.
“Nate, step up to the mic. How does it make you feel when comedians go over their allotted time?”

Diaz responded, “When it’s time to go, get the f— off the stage!”
Unfortunately for fans, Diaz never got the opportunity to slap a comedian during the taping.
