🔥 Season 3 keeps getting weirder in the best way.
This week we’ve got Austin Kress, better known as Stony McBlaze, in the dungeon and this one is a full send. 😂🌿🎤
Austin breaks down how a homeschooled Christian kid chasing serious acting in LA somehow turned into one of the internet’s favorite stoners, built a massive following, ended up at the X Games, and then had to figure out how the hell to turn viral fame into an actual comedy career.
🎤 We get into:
🌿 How Stony McBlaze was born
📱 Going viral almost immediately on TikTok
🚀 Riding the algorithm straight to the X Games
💸 Why millions of views do NOT automatically mean millions of dollars
🎭 The difference between playing Stony and being Austin on stage
😂 Why writing stand-up as Stony completely failed
🎟️ The absolutely ridiculous story of almost getting an Austin show cancelled with eight tickets sold
📲 Why having a huge following does not mean people will actually leave their couch and buy a ticket
🧠 Building jokes from real life instead of chasing cheap shock value
🎤 Trying to evolve from “Stony McBlaze” into Austin McBlaze without confusing the hell out of everyone
🍦 And, obviously, a completely necessary breakdown of elite stoner snacks
The funniest part of this episode might be Austin explaining that one of his biggest problems is that people know Stony McBlaze but have no clue he actually does stand-up. Which is a pretty wild problem to have when hundreds of thousands of people follow you. 😂 And then there’s the Austin, Texas show…
Eight tickets sold. 😬
A pissed-off venue. 😡
Random people overseas buying tickets. 🌍
A last-minute social media rally. 📲
And somehow a packed room and a great show at the end of it. 😂🔥
Underneath all the stoner jokes and chaos, this is also a really good conversation about creative identity, social media, stand-up, failure, vulnerability, and figuring out how to turn internet attention into something real.
