Sorry, I'm just getting a text now that I guess someone hit our garage. Oh. Someone hit your garage with a car? Yeah, let's see. Let's see what the damage is. If you need to go, we can, like, we can call you back and wrap us another time. Just give me like two minutes. Take your time.

Take your time. We'll beat them up. I'll be right back. Yeah. Sounds good. On this episode of the commercial break. And these people are doing it down in the villages. There's all kind of crazy shit happening down there.

They're definitely doing psychedelics. Definitely. They're doing a lot of mushrooms, a lot of weed. And Coke, apparently, is a thing, too. So it must be, you know. Because when you think about when you're younger and you take multiple substances, it takes a certain amount of focus to, like, manage that mind state. I mean, they must be living multiple days in a single night. You get high, and then they take Seattle as to do something else.

A little too, yeah. They almost wake up feeling like, shit. Am I dead? Right. I might be. The next episode of the commercial. break starts now. Oh, yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break.

I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Haudley. Best to you, Chris. Best to you, Ryan. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Aliens is appropriate as we bring on the very popular and extraordinarily twisted-minded. No. L. Miller.

He is an incredibly popular. online personality he's been doing YouTube and all the socials for I don't know 10, 11 years. We'll get into it with him. This is our second time with Noel. You will recall, or those sharp-eared listeners will recall that Noel couldn't finish

his last interview because some lady drove into his garage. While we're doing the interview. While we were doing the interview. He's like, um, I, I, I, I, what? Yeah. Uh, what? His wife was running up and saying, you know,

this just happened. And he's like, Apparently somebody just hit our house. That's right. Can we reschedule it? Absolutely. So we got like 25, 30 minutes into the interview. It had to be cut short. Obviously, you know, he had other things to attend to.

I wanted to say, no, we got another 30 minutes. What are you doing? But he's kind enough and nice enough to reschedule. And so here we are part due with Noel Miller. Noel is an online, like as mentioned, an online personality who has a smorgishborg of creativity out there. there on the internet, the tiny meat gang, the tiny meat gang podcast, Noel's own podcast.

I don't think the tiny meat gang, I don't know if they're around anymore. But anyway, you can go read about it if that's what you choose to do. But we're linking everything down in the show notes, his YouTube channel, his podcast, his podcast network, his Instagram, and his TikTok and his live performances, which is, I believe, what he is focusing on right now. That's right. He's on the road. He's got a lot of performances coming up.

So he likely is coming to a place near you. Please go get tickets at Noelle Miller Live.com. Again, all of the links are in the show notes. I don't want to delay on this one, Chrissy, because I would like to get into it with Noel and enjoy, spread our wings a little bit and talk about some stuff, maybe even get a giggle or two out of him.

What do you think? Yeah, let's do it. Okay, so short intro so that we can get to Noel. Do you understand what I'm saying to you? Chris and Joy Holtley. I'm on board. Okay, let's do this. Let's take a break.

And through the magic of telepodcasting, Noel Miller will again join us for the conclusion of our interview that got interrupted by some crazy old person who drove into his garage door. Does that sound good to you? Okay, I was just waiting for your permission. All right, Chrissy gave us permission. I'm just thinking about the door being backed into. Me too. Yeah. We'll see if it was backed into. Who knew? All right. We'll be back with Noel.

When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from winners, I started wondering. Is every fabulous item I see from winners? Like that woman over there with the designer jeans. Are those from winners? Ooh, are those beautiful gold earrings? Did she pay full price? Or that leather tote? Or that cashmere sweater?

Or those knee-high boots? That dress, that jacket, those shoes. Is anyone paying full price for anything? Stop wondering. Start winning. Winners Find Fabulous for Less Hello, it's Lena Dunham I host a podcast called The Sea Word

with my dearest friend and historian of bad behavior Alyssa Bennett What is up? It's a chat show about women whose society is called crazy We're going to be rediscovering the stories of women's society

dismissed by calling them mad, sad, or just plain bad. Listen to and follow the C word with Lena Dunham and Alyssa Bennett available now wherever you get your podcasts and noel is here for part two uh krissey thank you very much noelle where where were we

i know i was i was trying to think about what we talked about it took me this long to pick up all the pieces from my garage being driven into that's crazy i was telling brian i think we will never have that happening yeah that's a once in a long time talking to somebody while somebody hits their house yeah yeah no that was uh I hope to never have that again. I hope that was a one-of-one. I've backed into my own garage.

I've never had anybody back into my garage. Did she just back into your garage or did a person back into your garage? If you can't tell, if you can't give all the details, that's okay. But I don't know. I don't know if there's litigation or what's going on. No, no. There's no litigation. Okay, that's good.

Yes. She, he went nose first into the garage. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I think she thought she was in reverse. Oh. Classic mistake.

Yeah. Was she apologetic? Of course. Right. Very scary. Or did she come out and say, where did that, why did you put that fucking garage in my way? No, no. She was, she stood there.

She was really shaken up. She apologized profusely. Yeah. But now the new garage door is probably three. times as heavy. Oh, so it won't, yeah. Definitely won't happen to get me. You steered away from the aluminum door.

Yeah. You said, give me something real. Well, we use the car parts from like 1950s Chrysler, so you're actually going to fold the front half of the car. Are you, are you a car guy? Are you into cars? Yeah. I mean, you know, yes, I would say these days I'm more casual, but yeah, like, my car. college days, and I found a Honda. I'd work on it when I could and whatever little crummy parts

I could afford. Yeah, you'd soup up your Honda. Yeah. Yeah. I stoop up is in quotes. Yeah. I had a... As best you could. I had a Honda accord. Yes, you did. And I did not, quote-unquote, soup it up. I got into a car accident after, directly after I paid it off. And it took off a good chunk of the front half of the car, basically. You drove it around for another two. gears. I would, but you couldn't see it from one side. So when I would go like pick somebody up for a date, I'd just park on the other, like I'd park facing the other way. Yeah, I was, I wasn't good with cars. So that was it. But yeah, listen, congratulations on a new car, new garage. And you're growing baby who is nine months old now, you just told us. And so you are in the thick

of it how are you sleeping how is the family doing how was like the tempo of the house i'm always interested with new age parents yeah not i mean it's it's good he's actually a really good sleeper not fuck you lately it yeah i think i think he's starting to get his teeth though oh that's been waking him up yeah that's a evening time yeah right now he kind of pops up at like midnight for a short cry and then uh six a m is when uh he's like really feeling Yeah, that's when he gets up and starts running around. Do you co-sleep or is he sleeping on his own? He sleeps on his own.

I mean, we kind of split it. Like, you know, it's kind of like whatever we can convince him to do. Yeah. But at night, he'll sleep in his crib, no problem. To just kind of rock away and then just pass out. We're lucky, though, you know, we've had plenty nights where he just goes for a full 10 or 12, just conced. Yeah, they do that on occasion because I think they just zip themselves.

up so much and just like us, you know, we sleep well sometimes. You like lay down and all a sudden you wake back up, you wake up in the morning and you're like, wow, I got that night of sleep I'm looking for, even though it's more or less and less these days. But it seems like you're doing everything right. Can you come over and teach my children? Can you come over and teach my children? Because, you know, we're early phases. Who knows what he'll be like in a year? Yeah, that's true. So you're now doing more live shows. You just mentioned to us right before the interview that you're getting you're doing more theater shows how many do you have in front of you what are you looking at what's the run uh i i'm doing at least like two or three every

weekend whoa of september october so something like that yeah two or three every weekend in september and in october yeah yeah and then i have a few in uh november so nice you know you've been so incredibly popular on the internet you've really built a brand a couple brands right so you've i mean you've done all right for yourself i mean you know yeah it's been good it's been good to you but the live show is a a whole different animal now i know you've been doing this for a while but the live show is a whole different animal it's a whole it's a different creature it's a different beast and i think where we left off because i looked at this last night was you do you enjoy the art of the stage or do you enjoy sitting down thinking up a skit or a bit or breaking down videos or whatever it is you're doing online which one scratches that itch for you more or just different ways no definitely stand-up i think stand-up has always been my first love i've just um i've never not never but uh i think i wish i could commit more time to it

it than I could but the problem with me is I like to do a lot of things yeah yeah um but yeah no I think stand up and performing live is uh where I I think that's where I'm at my best you know um making videos online like it's fun and uh it it's something I think that comes mostly natural but I think live is where I'm the the most natural you get that interaction element it's that but I also kind of like the pressure of a lot of people being I Like, that's why I think I do a lot is because I just function well under pressure. So, um, I like to cook my mind and be as stressed out as possible. A lot of people are like that.

I'm like that. Yeah, it seems to be the best, uh, uh, version of me. Yeah. Yeah, there's something about anxiety that I think that anxiety, that stress. But it's not in a, it doesn't tear me up like I've seen to tear up other people. It motivates me. And when my mind is in a corner, I fight out of the corner. corner, right? And I like that challenge. It makes me feel, I don't know, it's almost like I have

a purpose. Like, okay, here we go. Makes you feel live. Yeah. Yeah, I need a goal. But yeah, yeah, definitely performing live is my favorite thing to do. And when you're up on these, when you're up on stage and you're doing these theater shows, do you, I'd like to ask this of anybody who does stand up. Do you read the crowd and move in the direction that the crowd is going? Like, I know from night to night place to place, some crowds may interact with some material different than they interact with other material, right? It just might be a hot crowd that loves everything you're doing, everything gets a laugh, and then other crowds you might need to work up a little bit, right? Yeah. Do you play with that energy? Yeah, it's interesting. I think as I've, you know,

I've been very fortunate to just like keep logging time on stage and just go to different places. And I think now more or less I have a vibe of what the city is. So sometimes I just use that to give myself like halfway expectations because you never know. Sure. Like you can, it's always, it's always variable. So yeah, but to answer your question, I definitely try to tailor what the crowd is feeling. Like if they kind of want a lot of material, kind of dial up the tempo and try to give more. If the crowd is maybe a bit more chilled out, like sometimes you get there, you know, go to a place like Denver.

And sometimes they're all just like baked out of their mind. Yeah, exactly. It's just a bit more chill. Yeah. And you kind of got a slow roll it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're just kind of rolling with it and just letting the material cook a little bit. But yeah, definitely I think that's part of what makes it fun is when you can.

connect with a lot of people at the same time yeah where is your where's your favorite place to where's the where's the where's the knowell miller crowd like where is it like oh my god i can't wait to go play the show i mean i i love playing midwest i have so much fun of the midwest all the time we've heard that from other people too yeah we've heard that from other people also they say that the midwest it's not only there's a midwest vibe right it's very friendly but they're it's a working it's working class a lot of it and so when they when they're out having fun they're out having fun they're not it's like Miami where they're partying for a living right there's that and then also you know the Midwest I love them sometimes you can bully them too because depending where you go

they have sort of cultural niceties baked in yeah so they you know they might hate what you're saying but they might think is rude if they don't laugh you can kind of fuck with them a little bit My humor skews a bit darker, and sometimes I like poking fun at that. Yeah. If you don't laugh, you're going to hell, and you know that. You better enjoy this shit right here. Some of that religious repression is fun to lean on. I can see that. I can see that. Yeah, they still like to go to their church.

They still like Sunday's church day. And so is the South. But the South, I think there's just a different vibe in some places in the South anyway. South, I think over the years I've learned, South has... The same, it's like when the alcohol's in, they're turned up. But if they're just sitting and listening, I find I could say maybe the most, you know, just like by my definition, right? I could say something that's like really awful as far as like a concept or like what's funny to me. And they'll sit there and go, hmm, they just take it in. Yeah.

And no pushback. All right. You know, that's me for you. It's like they're being polite. Yeah. Fair. To your incredibly twisted mind. Yeah, I'm marking myself like I'm crazy.

It's not that crazy. Especially this new set, I think it's a, I found it to be very relatable, um, up and down the board, you know, I've had, I was just in Milwaukee and that was a great experience because, uh, I think that was my most, I think, widespread audience where I had people with Xs on their hands that were like 18. and then I had like 50-year-old cornbread dudes, like big burly boys. Yeah. And then big guys with their wives and my stuff I've been working on lately.

Like, everyone was connecting with it. And so I think some of my earlier shows, there's a bit more of those like kind of stale, awkward moments where I say they didn't really fucked up and I just look at the room and smile. You think that's funny, right? You're with me on this, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. People are like, I don't know if I should agree with it. Yeah. Yeah, I realize like some of my material was a lot like, I describe it like, I don't know, just like taking a picture of like a dead body and like holding it to a person and be like, isn't that hilarious? Not really. and you like that at all. Yeah, but they don't know what to do because they're like, am I supposed to laugh at this?

Or does he actually think that's funny? Because if he does, he's probably more dangerous than we might have liked. So, you know, I think there's new stuff I'm working on. And I say that like, you know, anyone who maybe enjoys me on stage because I tend to be darker. It's not lighter by any means.

It's definitely so much. there's definitely some strains in there where I forced the laughter you haven't turned into Jeff Foxworthy no no no no if I was doing I'd be doing arenas you know I'd be retiring next year yeah that's true

well it's interesting because there are there's variations in comedy of what people find funny I tend to I tend to go to the darker places also I find when you push the envelope

and maybe you recognize that pain can be funny or darkness can be funny. There's some comfort in that for me, but there's also a twistedness that I enjoy. Like, my mind can go there and be okay with laughing at it. But then there's lots of comedians. We've just had a conversation with the guy named Dusty Slay. Yeah, but I know of him, yeah. And Dusty's done very well for himself, along with Nate and all these other guys who have

done very well for themselves, really keeping a very broad and safe kind of a comedy. And, you know, we ask him like, hey, is that a choice, you know, or it's just your brand humor? Is it a choice to keep it wide open, you know, to bring more people to the front door? And he said, it's kind of both. It's like, it doesn't come natural to me to go to those places, right? And so that's cool. And he says, and, you know, I do enjoy the fact that you can bring your grandpa out of my show and it's okay that that happens. Yeah. I would imagine that your audiences tend to, you said, hey, I got people in there with 18 and X's on their hands and then I got the 50-year-olds that are the big, you know, big boys, you know, down home, down Southern boys. I would

imagine your audiences tend to skew a little bit younger like seeing a 50 or 60 year old in your audience might be like oh okay i'm getting some new i'm getting i'm reaching new people definitely definitely i think uh the audiences are starting to i first started you know i you know i do five shows at a club and um all five were just diehard fans and uh you know probably you know 18 to 23 yeah ish and then these days it's It's much more broad and our audience is just grown up. So it's kind of nice because, you know, now they're all, I don't know, I'd say like 23 to 29, somewhere in the 30s. And then, yeah, I get way more like random walk-ups and just older people.

And I kind of like when it's like, but I kind of prefer when it's a big mix like that. Because then I get to use these strangers as a litmus test. Because, you know, the people that have known me for a while, they trust what I'm saying. And so I could say, I don't know, something dark or whatever. And they know that I'm just fucking around. And so when I get strangers, learning how to kind of like get them on my side and see what I see, I think that challenges. I prefer it sometimes. Very interesting way of looking at it.

But the other thing about, like, the audience is growing up with you, right? out on like a musician starts off young and then, you know, hey, my material changes over the years and I think about different things and the audience who's known you that whole time, like you said, they trust you. They know you're funny and they can go with you to those dark places because that's where they've been with you before. But then you gain this new audience, maybe older folks or people who haven't been there, you know, I think that's really exciting. Like that's probably the exciting part. Hey, I am reaching new people. I'm still growing as an artist and I've got new people coming in the door. I have an opportunity to get them on my side.

Yeah. You know, and, and, uh, or you know, you get like a group of random 30 dudes on a bachelor party. You get like, you know, just random, random groups in there. But I think what ends up being fun is then in those moments when, uh, someone maybe is hating it, then I get to look at my audience and the, like the people that have known me for a while and I get to kind of like wink and go. Yeah. Yeah. We know. Yeah. We know what he's up to. So I always feel like I got backup so I can terrorize easily. Are you on tour with other people, too?

Do you have some openers? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I got friends that open up for me just like they live in different spots. Lately I've been working with local guys and just trying to give some younger dudes a shout. Nice. Put them on a little bit. And yeah, so it's kind of all across the board. Yeah, but I got a lot of guys that I got working the rotation.

Look at you. You're becoming a mentor of sorts to the younger generation. I still, honestly, I still feel young and stand up. I think all in, maybe I'm at like seven, maybe eight years, depending on where you put the start point. And I feel like you've got to do a lot more time to like really, really mentor. But yeah, no, it's cool that I at least have the ability to kind of look at the start. get somebody and say, hey, I think you're doing good stuff. Yeah.

Just put them on a little bit. That's cool. I think age, yeah, of course, you know, the old saying 10,000 hours, right? 10,000 reps. That's when someone becomes an expert of what they do. 10,000 reps is someone wrote a book about it. But, you know, at the same time, you've been entertaining people for a long time in some form or another for most of, if not all, of your adult life, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and so you have the experience, you have the 10,000 hours of making people smile at your work, or at least thought, you know, think. Creatively, you've put it out there. Yeah, it's pretty crazy when I think about it. I think I'm coming up on like 11 years. Jeez. Yeah.

It's wild. It is wild. And you've had such a phenomenal run. I mean, by any stretch of the imagination, in the age of new media, right? in the age of the internet, in the age of new media and YouTube and Instagram, TikTok, all this other stuff, you have been one who has not only had success, but it's not a one-off success. It's not a, I managed to grow my Instagram to, you know, half a million people or whatever. It's that you've built brands. You've built companies. You've branched off.

That's, that's mogul-esque, right? It's like you think about things differently, but you should really applaud yourself or at least recognize that that's not something everybody does. You know, there are a lot of personalities on the internet. Not all of them know what to do with it, right? Yeah. No, thank you, man. It's, uh, yeah, it's something that I struggle to acknowledge within myself. Yeah. But yeah, I, uh, I've taken all many endeavors. And yeah, I mean, these days, I like, you know, I, you know, I have my podcast network. So I'm running that a lot of the time. And then, you know, I, you know, the past year

I've been back on YouTube just trying to figure out what I kind of want to be making there and I think I've started to find like kind of the new direction I want to go that kind of came away with like I started a like a

dystopian commentary podcast called The Company Lot and from that I've kind of birthed like a new inspiration for YouTube and then yeah just working stand up you know in between all that and then you're not trying to be a dad and it's uh it's like yeah what else can you fit in there

i know no slackers yeah it's been the most like intense you know uh period of your life yeah i mean listen running a podcast network in and of itself right and i know because i i worked for one at a high level and and um it consumed a good chunk of my day that's not easy and then all of these other things what did you what is then what do you what do you find is the new inspiration for your YouTube, just kind of this like commentary on culture? Sort of, yeah. I think I would say for a majority of my career,

you know, I've just kind of been just like a, I don't know, like a dude, just like talk shit and fucks around. Not that I'm trying to be more serious, but I think off-camera, like with friends and stuff, I tend to naturally just joke more. about, I don't know, just like trending news and it's not too dissimilar for what I was doing before, but I think I was always kind of afraid to make that jump to just talking about

like trending things on my own. Yeah. And so I've kind of forced myself to do that. And it's worked out well and people are supportive and they seem to like what I'm bringing to the table there. So I don't think I'm fully at where I want to be. with that but um you know i'm like easing your way and like hammering yeah yeah when you say trending news are you specifically talking about state of the world type stuff not not always like

i think actually sometimes i take a weird interest and stuff that's like actually kind of boring yeah and uh fair enough so do we yeah there's like this whole um uh so you might have seen there are all these posts about this lawsuit with OZempic and how they're going through like the creators of OZemPEC are going through like a $2 billion lawsuit. Yeah. People are just kind of like saying that on TikTok and they're just regurgitating that.

Yeah. And the number is completely made up and it's like a total mischaracterization of something that's actually happening. Yeah. And I think like when you look at things like that there's like funny or things to read between the lines on.

Like people are just more excited to tell anyone who's skinny that their eyeballs might fall out. Right. You know, and it's funny, like, when you, to me, when you look at the last two years of people talking about OZempic, I'm going to take a risk here, but a lot of, like, fitness guys have taken OZMPIC as, like, for content and to just, you know, spread awareness. But what's really funny is they talk about OZMPIC the same way people talk about a racist. Like, they're like, well, you know, yeah, it's got these negative qualities, but you have to look at

like what it came through. And like the larger problem is obesity. It's like it's not the racist fault. It's that structure. Yeah. It's where it came from. Right. Yeah.

So I think it's like sometimes I take interest in these really like nuanced things that when you bring it up, there's so much context ahead of it where you like lose people. Yeah. But yeah. So I think I'm just like figuring out how I can talk about these things that are otherwise pretty uninteresting to a lot of people. and put a new spin on it and make it interesting

like from the mind of Noah Noel Miller I think yeah I like that yeah I like that it's not dissimilar

to the you know just like related to what we do for a long time in like 850 episodes in but for a long time we kind of made it a point not to talk about

things that were timely or topical number one like you know you're you don't know how that's going to come across when you spark

on something that can be controversial right It's not to stay away from controversy. It's just like, also, it spoils really easily in the can. Like, you can leave it there for two days, and all of a sudden it's not news anymore, and you're talking about something old. But then I think satire is so much easier than hitting stuff nose on. Like, I'm not the daily show, right? I'm not going to be the daily show.

But an example that you just gave, we were talking about the lawsuit against the tequila company. company that's going on right now, claiming that the tequila. The agave is not the agave, right? There's no agave in the tequila and people are at the level that they're saying it. And I use that as a platform to spin the angle that everyone's trying to get everyone one over on everybody. And that just seems permissible. That's the way we do business these days. And then also, does anyone that's drinking Jose Cuervo even fucking care how much agave is in their tequila. I mean, why are people so angry about that? They seem just fine drinking their margaritas regardless, right? Yeah, no, I mean, that's what's kept me from being an alcoholic. I just don't trust the agave.

The ingredients, men. Yeah. People die drinking that shit. Remember those people in Mexico were dying because they were drinking like the bottles of liquor inside of the resorts? Do you remember that? Oh, yeah, that's right. That's awesome. Yeah, congratulations to you. Yeah, new timeshares available. Yeah.

By now. Yeah. I think you had the unit on the bottom floor by the beach has opened up. I'm just thinking of the time I went to the Hard Rock Resort in Dominican Republic. And they did have those bottles of liquor in the room. Yeah. You would just like press the button and now it would go. come to liquor. That's crazy. How glad I am that I wasn't drinking alcohol at that time. The hard rock

brand is the modern conquistador. I mean, that is everywhere. It is. You want to talk about American imperialism? It's the hard rock cafe. That thing could, I think the only places left, I think they have everywhere. I think they're in all 180 countries. That's it. They are everywhere. They're here in Atlanta. Atlanta's thinking about, has always been thinking about whether or not, they open up a gambling zone like they have in New Orleans, like a 10 square mile area where you can put casinos to get in on, you know, the crippling addiction that's going around the United States of America. Might as well. Add another one. That's right. So Hard Rock in their infinite wisdom and business acumen bought some of the most expensive property in downtown Atlanta

to build a hotel with a big empty lot next to it just in case. And it just shows, you're right. It's about imperial. It's about taking over. right where can we get it where can we take one over on people i just think it's hilarious because you could you could go to like rural poquette in thailand yeah and it's all hostels but you'll round a corn what is that 72 palm tree superstructures that's that they and they're there you know that's wild they are everywhere they are everywhere what he's you ever had an interaction with somebody like when you go out in these live shows you're doing material that's edgy or dark, you know, edgy to some people are dark or whatever it is.

You ever have interactions that are not pleasant? You ever have any wild interactions out there? Oh, yeah, you know, people just, you know, following me to my hotel, hiding in my closet. What? Wake up in the middle of the night. There's a blade to my neck. Oh, yeah, dude. What? A blade to the neck. That's why as a comedian, you have to do Navy SEALs training. Holy shit. I'm opening a special school for comedians. where it's actually we mimic buds we mimic the beginning stages of a seal's journey and i mean we do it all

you know like we do the whole like hurrah where you put 20 comedians on the beach and the tent and you wake them up with bombs and grenades yeah yeah it's all hecklers and and they're armed with real ammunition you know we're doing real alec baldins live and it's uh you know so so So, you know, yeah, have I said jokes and have people try to slice my throat in the middle of the night? Yeah, but I'm equipped for things like that. Okay, good. Yeah, I've studied counterterrorism techniques and always travel with a, yeah, with a 3D printed gun, you know, I can assemble it. It's like the golden gun from golden eye.

I can just, you know, I pull out a pencil, a lighter, and a small flashlight and, you know, yeah. So, yeah, no, I mean, I've had, I've had some weird interactions. I had a guy But this is like my favorite story to tell Because he completely owned me And it was so funny I was at a bar shooting pool In Charlotte

And he walks up to me He's a You know objectively a funny looking guy Like he's just He's kind of short and round Really big eyes Quadrophocals I mean a straight cartooned

And he looks up in me With like his you know Hubble telescope eyeballs And he goes goes, oh, you're the comedian guy. I go, yeah, what's up, man? He's like, I was just at your show. I said, oh, cool.

He's like, I walked out. I was like, oh, I walked out. And then he started telling me one of my jokes was offensive. And I said, which one? And then we started to explain it. I was like, well, you're not, you're not really saying it, right? And then I started going into my act in front of him. I'm like, no, actually what I said was.

And then my torment. manager, God bless him. I love him. You know, he's from Philly. Okay. And he didn't tolerate even one more minute of this shit. He just stepped in. And he goes, what the fuck are you on about? And then the guy just starts, you know, repeating himself. I think me and this guy are a little bit, you know, we're undiagnosed. Like, we both have special interests. So he and I were actually having a podcast with each other. We were just, you know, talking at each other. And my tour manager would not tolerate a second. of it so he he just starts going in on this guy and he's like hey man uh when you watch a movie you don't like do you do you message the director that you didn't like the movie the guy's like well no he's like

exactly so shut the fuck and then he starts yelling at him he's like you walked out you didn't see the ending of the movie how can you say hey to a movie and then it got really funny because then I'm like what is this metaphor it's not it's not good yeah yeah and then

then his wife shows up and then it then we rehashed the whole thing oh god so now it's just like some three stooges charlie chaplain and then uh and then unfortunately this devolved into the two of them having a fight on the patio oh no like a fist fight on the patio no no just like oh just like yelling with each other yeah at which point i felt like i won yeah yeah take that home right take that home. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, I've definitely had, you know, I've had guys walk out and tell me fuck you and whatever. Yeah, people are weird. Yeah, I think it's part. Who cares? It's part and parcel of you learn, I think, early on. I think we learned early on, you know, because the podcast was just

objectively bad and people will tell you that. I mean, that's just the truth, right? The podcast is I'm not sure it's much better, but some people have jumped on board and they talk to us, too. That's great, man. I've watched all 852 episodes. Nice. Thank you. Noel Miller. That's my entrepreneurial spirit.

I watch talent and I watch it develop. And let me tell you, 852 hours later, it has sharpened up. We are a pencil. That's what Chat, that's what Chat TCB tells me, since you guys have gotten much better. Congratulations. When Chat, GPT even tells you you're mediocre, you've got something wrong. It's designed to tell you you're good. I mean, you can't really trust Chad GBT, right?

Yeah. It's like an evil consciousness. It's saying it's not very good. In fact, you should do more, but you should do practice episodes with me. That's right. Do practice episodes with me. And the Chad GBT is wanting to scan your bodies. And it's like, thank you.

Yeah, just keep doing these practice episodes. It sucked up the entire podcast. And then it just said, yeah, you guys are okay. You guys are all right. Congratulations on that. Which is tracked with what we thought. Yeah. You have to have to have to have a bit of a thick skin, I think, when you do stuff.

And you put it out there. There's going to be plenty of people that don't like it. And I'm sure you have your fair share of people that haven't liked. Have you ever done like a, I was thinking about this earlier today. If you're done like a skit or put something in the can or had an idea and then you think better of it or someone goes, no, you should not put that out there. And you go, okay, maybe think about it. Yeah. No, I've got plenty of.

those i got plenty of bombs you know that's uh it's kind of why i chose my wife it's because i tell her jokes and they just look at me like deer in headlights she'll go i don't get it yeah yeah it's just that dry and i'm like fuck so i got to go figure out how i make her get it yeah you know there's nothing worse than when i say something and my wife is putting on lotion and she's like uh that's funny You're like, that's the ultimate insult. I know that feeling. My wife is my compass. And I get a gig a lot of her.

I know it's likely very funny with other people because I know that there's funny stuff that I say to her, but she on purpose doesn't laugh. Doesn't laugh. She downplays it. Yeah. And then sometimes she just tells me straight up, you should not say that.

It should not be a thing you should do. Brian Green. Yeah, Brian Green. That's how she says it. She goes, Brian Green. And I'll go, okay, maybe not that one. Yeah. That is when you can get your longtime partner to say your name, you're like, that's right. That's the most fucked up thing I've ever said.

I've ever said. I think I asked this to you last time, but I refresh my memory. Did you always have this kind of dark sense of humor? Was this just like the way your brain ticked? Or did this? I feel like some of my dark sense of humor came to me when I was. was with my like formative group of friends right as like a young teenager and all of a sudden we're all starting to laugh at stuff that is most people would find sick and disgusting yeah i think i don't know i got i think it got darker over time yeah you know i think i went through some life experiences and that kind of turned me maybe the wrong way but uh yeah i would say generally yeah once i like figured out what was funny to me i think it started to like

skew really dark um but yeah i actually don't think it was always super dark yeah it got there definitely got there yeah yeah i think you get you go through i think comedy is one of those things that some people use it in the darkest of moments the funeral of their parents the yeah the right after the car crash. I got cancer, right? Stuff like that. And they use humor. And then some people feel much more comfortable

in the solemnity of the moment, right? They're like, I'm not laughing at the, you know, I'm taking in what's going on at the fewer. So it just depends on how you choose to cope with life. And comedy is one of those things. Lots of people use to cope with life. But some people are just really good at making that observation relatable and funny.

And I think you're one of those people. Oh, thanks, man. Yeah, I think maybe it comes from a little bit of, like, you know, that whole, you know, oh, you're not supposed to laugh right now. Yeah. Like, yeah, so what? This guy just got ran over. He's naked. Right.

He's got a boner. He had an erection. A huge dung. Isn't that an hilarious? Isn't that an awesome way to die? This guy's got a huge can. They got to bring a second ambulance. He's a huge wiener.

Isn't that hilarious? It's true. You got a bone. when you die yeah is that true i hope not i think it can be true you get stiff you get rick i hope not too i hope not too it's the ultimate insult it's the ultimate um i guess it's the ultimate well don't you frank as you get older yeah you do yeah yeah i think i don't know what'll be left depending on i go i know i'm with you on that one yeah if i die at 80 and they someone says like be careful he's up someone is going to be like it's fine but i think the doctors

are saying that because of the prevalence of cealis these you know sealis and viager and stuff like that that men can be sexually active until they die no matter how old they are and then women are are going along the road that's why you go down to a place like the villages in florida and you got syphilis running rampant down there it's a whole and there's a whole swinger's running rampant Swinger community we talked about. That's right. I mean, it is incredible. This is funny because this is like an idea that has just been in my, you know, I don't

know. I might use this show, but I was thinking, like, even with Cialis and Wi-Fi, like the best we can do for marriage's long term is 50%. Yeah. You know, like half of them still fail despite having these weapons. and like see alice is crazy to me because you could take that and like hate your partner yes but you can still show up you know you get what i'm saying absolutely yeah you can still be miserable in all every other way and biologically still available biologically still available that's that's great i didn't

realize that old people were getting STDs oh yeah noel it's like a it really is running rampant and doctors are having to treat them like teenagers. Because they're like, whatever, we can't. Yes, I'll give you an example. I'm going straight to Google. I'm sorry, keep going. Keep going. Old people.

Yeah, old people, SDDs. It's a thing. It's a thing. Yeah. This is fascinating. Check it out. So here's an example. My mom lives in a retirement community, you know, 65 and older.

And they have a bowl of condoms that is in the office and available to people. Still? Yes. It's true. Yeah, it's crazy. It's insane. Because people are, with the availability of these drugs, people are sexually active much later in their life. I mean, like I said, until the day they die.

And STDs are a problem. They had a lady come in and talk about it. The board of OnlyFans is rubbing their grubby little hands together. They love this. They love Grandma porn. That OnlyFans' Grandma porn. That is absurd. Yeah.

Wow. Have you heard of that place the villages? down in Florida? No. Okay, the villages is the largest retirement community besides Sun City, which is out in Phoenix. It's the largest retirement community in the world. That's huge. It's huge.

It's like 72 square miles. And it's a Disney world for older folks. You can buy a house there. Get a golf cart. Get a golf cart. You just drink. And there's drugs and sex and alcohol. There's a whole documentary.

There's a whole documentary. Yeah. Yeah, you got to check this out. Yeah. So Chrissy and I have been keeping an eye on this because we figure we'll be there pretty Yeah. Swinging away. Yeah, swinging away.

Swinging away, drugging, drinking, everything. Because here's my thought. If you're going to go hog wild on drugs, if you're going to be a coke addict, smoke crack, do crystal meth, don't dabble in it when you're a kid just so you know what it's all about. But then you go hog wild hard when you retire when you're close to death because who fucking cares at that point, right? If you're a, I don't know, a crack addict. I mean, you know, I mean, besides your neighbors, who cares? Like, go ahead, do it. And these people are doing it down in the villages.

There's all kind of crazy shit happening down there. They're definitely doing psychedelics. Definitely. They're doing a lot of mushrooms, a lot of weed, and Coke, apparently is a thing too. So it must be, you know. Because when you think about when you're younger and you take multiple substances, it takes a certain amount of focus. Yes.

To, like, manage that mind state. I mean, they must be living multiple days in a single thing. night. He'd get high, and then they take Seattleus, and they do a little something else. A little toot, yeah. They almost wake up feeling like, shit. Am I dead? Right.

I might be. Yeah. Not yet. That is fascinating. Wow, old people. I mean, hey. Yeah. Look it up.

You might have a, there's a whole, there's a routine there somewhere. And now they're doing, and now they've got lufas that they put on their golf carts to indicate if they swing, what kind of swing are there. So orange, yellow is like, I'm consciously optimistic. Dude, swinging at 70 sounds awful. Yeah. Yes. It sounds awful at 40.

It sounds awful. It just, I don't know that I want to watch my wife get pounded by her and listen to it or hear it or knew it. You know, if you're going to have an affair with the pool boy, do it like everybody else does. And while I'm on a business trip, you know what I'm saying? Be respectful about it. I don't want to go to a party and then know you. you're going to have sex with a 22-year-old Latin male. That pre-swing small talk must be graining.

Yes. Yes. You're on a double first date? See, and this is where my, like, something like that just brings me existential dread. If I'm sitting there, you know, if I was actually a swinger, I probably am a lot hornier than I am in my own body. But if I'm sitting there with my wife and we got to meet this weird couple, that's like, we love your shirts. I'm like, yeah, no. You're going to fuck my wife.

Leave me alone. Why are we talking about this? So he likes two hands on the shaft when you're a knob in the head. I mean, honestly, he's right. He's 100% right. Wayne is crazy. I think it is crazy. And listen, to each their own.

Yeah, more power to the ones that like it. Yeah, yeah, whatever you know, Orgy is listening to this podcast right now, keep doing you. Too careful. Keep doing your thing. But if swinging is an existential dread, then what causes me like dead dread is cucking? That, to me, is like the thing that I go, what happened to you as a child? Outsourcing, man. Yeah, outsourcing.

And listen, if you're like, I can understand, I get terminally ill. And then, you know, my wife, I'm sick for a long time. I can't perform. My waist doesn't work down below my waist doesn't work. I can understand handing the keys to the car and saying take her for a drive because her battery doesn't die, right? But what feels really scary to me is the people who are like fully capable, but I still want to sit in the closet and watch. That's right. That's weird.

That's weird. Again, it's each their own. For me, it's dead dread. Dead dread. I think that's like a deep self-hatred. I agree. I agree. I'm worthless and I need to experience it in real time.

Yes. Now, someone, you know, someone who is an avid consumer of their wife having affairs might message me after this and be like, you don't understand. You're right. I don't. I don't get it. You should just reply. Stop there. I don't care.

Yeah. Good for you. Noel Miller is on tour right now. Noel Miller Live.com is where you. That's where you have. If you come to see me on tour, we sell a unique merch line. You know, most performers, they sell T-shirts, hoodies. We actually sell our own cuck chair.

There you go. It folds in four pieces. It disassembles. It fits in a carry-on. Extremely comfortable. You can take it to whatever weird hotel. I know hotels typically come equipped with cuck shares, but this one is sort of like a break-in-case. It's got an iPhone tripod.

Yeah. Oh, no, you're right. I mean, I didn't even get to go over the feature. It's got a built-in fan. So, you know, like, the little fan that you get at a theme park. It's got that with a mister. Yep. It does have two USBC ports.

Oh, nice. And I have a standard USBA port. Yeah, it's incredible. And it also doubles as a laptop cooler. Oh, there you go. And for the low, low price of $59.99. Yeah. Perfect.

And a fleshlight. Yes. A fleshlight for all so that you can get off on. You can get off on. she's getting off, everyone's getting off. Yeah, yeah. Now, and this is just, you know, just so we're transparent. It's not standard-sized fleshlight.

This is a half-light. So, this is a many-like, you know, this is, you know. Yeah. It's just for a titillation. If you're looking for words. My cheeks hurt. But we do have T-shirts, too. We have T-shirts too.

Chuck her hats available. Yeah. Yeah. For the lot lizards. All right. Noel. Look it somewhere nasty. I apologize. No, no, no.

No, this is just another episode of the commercial break, by the way. We've said nothing that we don't already normally say.

I think That was a lot of fun If we were to have Noel here For a few episodes with us I have a feeling he would fit right in I have a feeling he would fit right in With our twisted, sick, sense of humor He's really funny

My cheeks hurt, I was laughing so hard That was good, that was good I'm surprised he hasn't caught on to the villages thing yet You would think a guy like that Would have his finger on the pulse of the villages Well, he's closer to college than he is to the villages Where we're closer to the villages

than we are in college. So I guess you can kind of understand where that one was going to go. Noelle Miller at Noellemiller Live.com. Tickets are available for all of his shows right now. He's on tour through November. It looks like he'll be here in Atlanta. Yeah.

With the Thanksgiving week, like the week leading up to Thanksgiving, maybe we should. I think we should do it. I think we should do a field trip. A field trip to go see Noel at center stage. Yeah. Where I saw Polly, Shore. That's right. I don't think I've seen a comedian there since Polly Shore. But I've

been to that bar a few times, 10 high and gotten kicked out. We've been to that bar a few times you got kicked out for playing the drums of the Rage Against the Machine cover band. Do you remember that? Oh, yeah. I do too. The good old days. When getting kicked out of a bar was fun. Now I make it a point not to get kicked out of the bars I go to it. Anyway, all of Noelle's stuff is down in the show notes, all of the links to the pertinence, the social media, the podcast, the podcast network, YouTube. I don't know what else to say. He's got so much shit.

I think this is going to be like four pages worth of links when it comes down to it. Yeah. But thank you very much, Noel, for coming and wrapping it up with us, proper gentleman, proper gentleman. And his baby was sleeping the whole time. At first I was wondering how he was talking so softly, because I remember last time he wasn't, and then I figured it out.
