With his signature blend of dark humor and improvisational wit, Noel dives into topics like stand-up on the road, the evolution of his audience, comedic boundaries, and the surreal world of aging swingers in Florida. The trio also riff on odd news stories, generational comedy, and the joys of running podcast networks and families—peppered with memorable one-liners and plenty of absurd bits.

Tone & Style

The episode is fast-paced, loose, and brimming with the show's trademark dark, self-aware, and improvisational banter. Noel’s dry wit and willingness to mine discomfort for comedy dovetail perfectly with Bryan and Krissy’s willingness to go off the rails. The humor pushes boundaries but remains self-deprecating and inviting—a peek into a conversation between friends who are “in on the joke.”

Transcript

[Noel Miller]

Sorry, I'm just getting a text now that I guess someone hit our garage.

[Brian Green]

Oh, someone hit your garage with a car.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. Let's see, let's see. What the. Damn.

[Brian Green]

Noel, if you need to go, we can like, we can call you back and write another time.

[Noel Miller]

Just give me like two minutes.

[Brian Green]

Take your time, I'll beat him up.

[Noel Miller]

I'll be right back.

[Brian Green]

Okay, 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.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

They're definitely doing psychedelics.

[Brian Green]

Definitely. They're doing a lot of mushrooms, a lot of weed and coke apparently thing too.

[Noel Miller]

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.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Noel Miller]

Like manage that mind state. I mean they must be living multiple days in a single night high. And then they take Cialis and do.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

Something else.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

You almost wake up feeling like type dead.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Right.

[Brian Green]

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 Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chrissy.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Best to you Brian.

[Brian Green]

Best to you. Out there in the podcast universe, aliens is appropriate as we bring on the very popular and extraordinarily twisted minded Noel Miller. He is incredibly popular online personality. He's been doing YouTube and all the socials for I don't know, 10, 11 years. We'll, 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.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

While we're doing the interview, while we were doing the interview, he's like, I what? Yeah, his wife was running up and saying, you know, this just happened. And he's like, apparently somebody just hit our house.

[Brian Green]

That's right.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Can we reschedule?

[Brian Green]

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 smorgasbord of creativity out 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 [e-mail] 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?

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah, let's do it.

[Brian Green]

Okay, so short intro so that we can get to Noel. Do you understand what I'm saying to you, Kristen Joy Hoadley, 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?

[Chrissy Hoadley]

That sounds okay.

[Brian Green]

I was just waiting for your permission. All right, Chrissy.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Gavin, I'm just thinking about the door being backed into.

[Brian Green]

Me, too. Yeah, we'll see if it was backed in into. Who knew? All right, we'll be back with Noelle.

[Brian Green]

And Noelle is here for part two. Chrissy, thank you very much. Noelle. Where were we? Where were we?

[Chrissy Hoadley]

I know. I was trying to think about what we talked about.

[Brian Green]

Noel.

[Noel Miller]

It took me this long to pick up all the pieces from my garage being driven into.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

That's crazy. I was telling Brian I think we will never have that happen again.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, that's a once in a lifetime.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

When talking to somebody while somebody hits their house.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, no, that was. I hope to. I hope to never have that again. I hope that was a one of one.

[Brian Green]

I've. 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. I don't know. I don't know if there's litigation.

[Noel Miller]

No, no, there's. There's no litigation.

[Brian Green]

Okay, that's good.

[Noel Miller]

Yes, the. She. He went nose first into the garage.

[Brian Green]

Oh, wow.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. Yeah. I think she thought she was in reverse.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Oh, classic mistake.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Was she. Was she apologetic?

[Noel Miller]

Of course.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Right.

[Noel Miller]

Very scary.

[Brian Green]

Or did she come out and say, where did. Why'd you put that fucking garage in my way?

[Noel Miller]

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, so definitely won't happen again.

[Rachel]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

You steered away from the aluminum door. Yeah. Give me something real.

[Noel Miller]

Well, we use the car parts from, like, 1950s Chryslers. So you're actually going to fold the front half.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Are you. Are you a car guy? Are you into cars?

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. I mean, you know. Yes. I would say these days I'm more casual, but. Yeah. Like in my college days and I found a Honda, I'd work on it when I could and whatever little crummy parts I could afford.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, you'd soup up your Honda.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. In quotes.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I had.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

As best you could.

[Brian Green]

I had a Honda Accord.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yes, you did.

[Brian Green]

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, that I drove it around another Two years 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 and see it. Yeah, I was. I wasn't good with cars, so that was it. But, yeah, listen, congratulations on a new cart, new garage, and your 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, new age parents.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, no, I mean, it's. It's good. He's actually a really good sleeper.

[Brian Green]

Not you.

[Noel Miller]

Lately, I think he's starting to get his teeth, though, so that's been waking him up.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Yeah, that's a good time.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. Right now he kind of pops up at, like, midnight for a short cry. And 6am is when he's, like, really feeling it.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, that's when he gets up and. And starts running around. Do you co. Sleep or is he sleeping on his own?

[Noel Miller]

He sleeps on his own. I mean, we kind of split it. Like, we, 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 of nights where he just goes for a full 10 or 12. Just conked.

[Brian Green]

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 of 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, 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.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, you know. You know, we're early phases. You know, who knows what he'll be like in a year?

[Brian Green]

Yeah, that's. 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?

[Noel Miller]

I. God, I'm doing at least like, two or three every weekend.

[Brian Green]

Whoa.

[Noel Miller]

All of September, October, so something like that. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Two or three every weekend. In September and in October.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, yeah. And then I have a few in November, so.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Nice.

[Brian Green]

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.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, it's been good.

[Brian Green]

It's been good to you, but the live show is 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?

[Noel Miller]

No, definitely stand up. I think stand up has always been my first love. I've just. I've never. Not never, but I think I wish I could commit more time to it than I could. But the problem with me is I like to do a lot of things. Yeah, yeah. But, yeah, no, I think stand up and performing live is where I. I think that's where I'm at my best. You know, making videos online, like, it's fun and it. It's something. I think that comes mostly natural, but I think live is where I'm the most natural.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

You get that interaction element.

[Noel Miller]

It's that. But 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 I like to cook my mind and be as stressed out as possible.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

A lot of people are like that.

[Brian Green]

I'm like.

[Noel Miller]

That seems to be the best version of me.

[Brian Green]

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 a tear up other people. It motivates me. And when my mind is in a corner, I fight out of the 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.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Makes you feel alive.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, yeah. I need a goal, but yeah, yeah, definitely. Performing live is my favorite thing to do.

[Brian Green]

And when you're up on these. When you're up on stage and you're doing these theater shows, do you. I 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.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Do you play with that energy?

[Noel Miller]

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.

[Brian Green]

Sure.

[Noel Miller]

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. You know, like, if you. 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 that, you know, go to place like Denver, and they're all just, like, baked out of their mind.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah, exactly.

[Noel Miller]

It's just a bit more chill.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

And you kind of got to roll it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're just kind of rolling with it and just letting the. Letting the material cook a little bit.

[Brian Green]

So.

[Noel Miller]

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.

[Brian Green]

Where is your. Where is your favorite place? Where's the. Where's the Noel Miller crowd? Like, where is it? Like, oh, my God, I can't wait to go play the show.

[Noel Miller]

I mean, I love playing Midwest. I have so much fun in the Midwest, really. Time.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

We've heard that from other people.

[Brian Green]

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 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.

[Noel Miller]

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.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

So they, you know, they might hate what you're saying, but they might think it's rude if they don't laugh. So you can kind of with them a little bit. My humor skews a bit darker and sometimes I like poking fun at that. Yeah, you don't laugh. You're going to hell, you know that? You better enjoy this right here. Some of that religious repression is fun to lean on.

[Brian Green]

I can see that. I can see that. Yeah. They still like to go to their church. 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.

[Noel Miller]

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.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

And no pushback. And they're like, all right. You know, that's how you feel.

[Brian Green]

It's like they're being polite.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Polite to your incredibly twisted mind.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. I. I marked myself. It's not that crazy. Especially this new set. I think it's. I found it to be very relatable up and down the board. You know, I've had. I was just in Milwaukee and that was a great experience because I think that was my most, I think, widespread audience where I had people with X's 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 don't. I think some of my earlier shows, there's a bit more of those, like, kind of stale, awkward moments where I say something really fucked up and I just look at the room and smile. You think that's funny, right?

[Brian Green]

You're with me on this, right? Yeah. People are like. I don't know if I should agree with.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, yeah. I realized, 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 like that at all.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, but they're. They. They don't know what to do because they're like, am I. Yeah. 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.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. So you. I think this new stuff I'm working on and that. And I, I say that like, you know, anyone who maybe enjoys me on stage because I tend to be dark. It's not lighter by any means. There's definitely some, there's definitely some strains in there where I forced the laughter.

[Brian Green]

You haven't turned into Jeff Foxworthy.

[Noel Miller]

No, no, no, no. If I was, you know, I'd be doing arenas, you know, I'd be. I'd be retiring next year.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, that's true. Well, so 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, that 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 just had a conversation with a guy named Dusty Slay. Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

And. But I know of him.

[Brian Green]

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 comedy. And, you know, we ask him, like, hey, is that a choice, you know, or is just your brand of 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's not. 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 to my show and it's okay that that happens.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

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, like 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.

[Noel Miller]

Definitely. Definitely. I think the audiences are starting to. I first started, you know, you know, I do five shows at a club and all five were just die hard fans. And, you know, probably, you know, 18 to 23.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

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 their 30s.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

And then, yeah, I get way more like random walk ups and just older people. And I kind of like when it's. Or 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.

[Brian Green]

Very interesting way of looking at. But the other thing about like the audience is growing up with you. Right. It's not unlike 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, they trust you. They know you're funny and they, 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, you. 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.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. You know, and, or you know, you get like a just 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 someone maybe is hating it, then I get to look at my audience and like the people that have known me for a while and I get to kind of like wink and go.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, yeah, we know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know it.

[Noel Miller]

So I always feel like I got backup so I can terrorize easily.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Are you on tour with other people too? Do you have some openers?

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I got, I got friends that open up for me just like they live in different spots. Lately I've been working with like local guys and just trying to give some younger dudes a shout.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Nice.

[Noel Miller]

Put them on a little bit. And yeah, so it's kind of all across the board. Yeah, but got a lot of, got a lot of guys that I got working the rotation.

[Brian Green]

Look at you. You're becoming a mentor of sorts.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

I know.

[Brian Green]

Younger generation.

[Noel Miller]

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

[Chrissy Hoadley]

That's cool.

[Brian Green]

I think. Age. Yeah, yeah, of course. You know the old saying, 10,000 hours, right? 10,000 reps. That's when someone becomes an expert at 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. And 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 they're creatively. You've put it out there.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, it's pretty, pretty crazy when I think about it. I think I'm coming up on like 11 years. Jeez. Yeah, it's wild.

[Brian Green]

It is wild. And it's a, it's. 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. I, 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 Mogulesque. Right. It's like you think about things differently, but you should, 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.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, no, thank you, man. It's. Yeah, it's something that I struggle to acknowledge with, within myself.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

But yeah, I, I taken on 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've, I've. 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 way with like, I started a, like a dystopian commentary podcast called the Company Lot.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

And from that I've kind of. Yeah. Birthed like, like a new inspiration for YouTube. And then. Yeah. Just working stand up, you know, in between all that and then, you know, trying to be a dad and it's, it's like.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. What else can you fit in there?

[Chrissy Hoadley]

I know, I know. Placards.

[Noel Miller]

It's been the most, like, intense, you.

[Brian Green]

Know, period of my life. Yeah. I mean, listen, running a podcast network in and of itself. Right. And I know because I worked for one at a high level and it consumed a good chunk of my day. That's not easy. And then all of these other things. What did you, what is the, what do you find? Is the new inspiration for your YouTube just kind of this, like, commentary on.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. Culture. Sort of. Yeah. I think I would say for a majority of my career, you know, I've, I've just kind of been just like a. I don't know, like, like a dude just like talks, shit fucks around.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

Not that I'm trying to be more serious, but I think off camera, like with friends and stuff, I. 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.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

And so I, I've kind of forced myself to do that and it's, it's worked out well and people are supportive and they, they seem to like what I'm bringing to the table there. So I don't, I don't think I'm fully at where I want to be with that. But, you know, I'm like, easing your way, hammering. Yeah.

[Rachel]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

When you say trending news, are you specifically talking about state of the world stuff?

[Noel Miller]

Not. Not always. Like, I think actually sometimes I take a weird interest in stuff that's like, actually kind of boring. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And fair enough, so do we. Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

There's like this whole so you might have seen there are all these posts about this lawsuit with Ozempic and how they're going through like. Like the creators of Ozempic are going through like a two billion dollar lawsuit.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

People are just kind of like saying that on Tick Tock and they're just regurgitating that.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

And the number is completely made up and it's like a total mischaracterization of something that's actually happening.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

And I think like, when you look at things like that, it, 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.

[Brian Green]

Right.

[Noel Miller]

You know, and, and it's funny. Like when you. To me, when you look at the last two years of people talking about Ozempic, I'm gonna take a risk here, but a lot of like fitness guys have taken Ozempic correct as like for content and, and to just, you know, spread awareness. But what's really funny is they talk about Ozempic 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, you know, and like the larger problem is obesity. So it's like it's not the racist fault. It's that structure.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. It's where it came from. Right.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. So I think it's like these, 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 and.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

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.

[Brian Green]

Put a new spin on it and make it interesting. Like from the mind of Noel Miller, I think. Yeah, I like that.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, I like that.

[Brian Green]

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.

[Noel Miller]

Right.

[Brian Green]

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 that's going on right now, claiming that the tequila agave is not the agave. Right. There's no agave in the tequila.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

And people are not the level that they're saying it.

[Brian Green]

And I, 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 care how much a guy is in their tequila? I mean, why are people so angry about that? They seem just fine drinking their margaritas regardless, right?

[Noel Miller]

So, yeah, no, I. That's what's kept me from being an alcoholic. I just don't trust the agave, the ingredients, man.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, people die drinking that shit. Remember those people in Mexico were dying, were dying because they were drinking like the, the bottles of liquor inside of the resorts. Do you remember that?

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah, that's right.

[Noel Miller]

That's awesome.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Congratulations to you.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. New timeshare is available.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

I don't know if you're shopping.

[Brian Green]

Buy now.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, the unit on the bottom floor by the beach is opened up.

[Brian Green]

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. You just like press the button and out would come the liquor.

[Noel Miller]

That's crazy.

[Brian Green]

How glad I am that I wasn't drinking alcohol at that time.

[Noel Miller]

The Hard Rock brand is the modern conquistador. I mean, that brand is everywhere. It, as you 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.

[Brian Green]

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 square mile area where that you can put casinos to get in on, you know, the, the cat crippling addiction that's going around the United States of America.

[Noel Miller]

Might as well add another one.

[Brian Green]

That's right. So, yeah, 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.

[Noel Miller]

Nice.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, it just shows. You're right. It's about Imperial, it's about taking over. Right.

[Noel Miller]

Where can we be?

[Brian Green]

Where can we get it? Where can we take one over on people?

[Noel Miller]

I just think it's hilarious because you could. You go to like rural Phuket in Thailand.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

And it's all hostels, but you'll round a corner, 72 palm tree superstructures and they. And they're there, you know, that's it.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

That's wild. They are everywhere.

[Brian Green]

They are everywhere. Woody's. You ever had an interaction with somebody, like when you go out on these live shows, you're doing material that's edgy or dark, you know, edgy to some people or dark or whatever it is. You ever have interactions that are not pleasant ever? Any wild interactions out there?

[Noel Miller]

Oh, yeah. You know, people just, you know, follow me to my hotel. Hiding in my closet. What, wake up in the middle of the night? No, to my neck. Oh, yeah, dude.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

What? Yeah, a blade to the neck.

[Noel Miller]

That's why as a comedian you have to do Navy Seals training. I'm opening a special school for comedians. It's actually. We mimic bugs. 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 hoorah where you put 20 comedians on the beach in the tent and you wake them up with bombs.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Biggest laser style.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all hecklers and armed with real ammunition. We're doing real Alec Balding live.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

And.

[Noel Miller]

You know, 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.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Okay, good.

[Noel Miller]

I've studied counterterrorism techniques.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

I.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

With a 3D printed gun I can assemble it. It's like the golden gun from goldeneye. I can just, you know, pull out a pencil, a lighter and a small flashlight and.

[Brian Green]

You know.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, so. Yeah, no, I mean, I've had, I've had some weird interactions. I had a. I had a guy. 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 and 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, really big eyes, quadrifocals. I mean a straight cartoon. And he looks up at me with like his, you Know, Hubble, telescope, eyeballs. And he 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. 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 tour manager, God bless him, I love him. You know, he's from Philly.

[Brian Green]

Okay.

[Noel Miller]

And he didn't tolerate even one more minute of this. He just stepped in and he goes. 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, yeah, he and I were actually 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, 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. And then. 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 move? And then it got really funny because then I'm like, what is this metaphor?

[Brian Green]

It's not. It's not good.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, yeah. And then. And then. Then his wife showed up, and then it. Then we rehashed the whole thing, so now it's just like some Three Stooges charge happen. And then. And then, unfortunately, this devolved into the two of them having a fight on the patio.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Oh, no.

[Brian Green]

Like a fist fight on the patio.

[Noel Miller]

No, no, no.

[Brian Green]

Just, like, yelling at each other. Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

At which point I felt like I won.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

Take that home, right? Take that home. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, I. I've. I've definitely had. You know, I've had guys walk out and tell me, you and whatever.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brian Green]

I think it's part of it.

[Noel Miller]

Who cares?

[Brian Green]

Part and parcel of you Learn, I think, early on. I think we learned early on, you know, because it would. The podcast was just objectively bad. And people will tell you that they love. I mean, that's just the truth, right? The podcast is a bit. I'm not sure it's much better, but. But some people have jumped on board and they talked to me.

[Noel Miller]

Oh, that's great, man. I've watched all 852 episodes. Nice.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Thank you.

[Brian Green]

Well, Miller, entrepreneurial spirit.

[Noel Miller]

I watch talent and I watch it develop. And let me tell you, 852 hours later, it has sharpened up.

[Brian Green]

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.

[Noel Miller]

You can't really trust Chat GPT, Right.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

It's like an evil conscious consciousness. It's saying it's not very good. In fact, you should do more. But you should do practice episodes with me.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

That's right.

[Brian Green]

Do practice episodes.

[Noel Miller]

Wanting to scan your bodies. And it's like, thank you.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. 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.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Which is tracked with what we thought.

[Brian Green]

So, yeah, you have to. You have to get. You have to have a bit of a thick skin. I think when you do stuff and people. 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. Like, have you ever done like a. I was thinking about this earlier today. Have you 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, I maybe think about it.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, no, I've got plenty of those. I got plenty of bombs. You know, that's kind of why I chose my wife. I tell her jokes and they just look at me like Darren Headlights. She'll go, I don't get it.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, yeah.

[Noel Miller]

It's just that dry. And I'm like, so I gotta go figure out how I make her get it.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

You know, there's nothing worse than when I say something and my wife is putting on lotion. She's like, ah, that's funny.

[Brian Green]

You're like, it's the ultimate insult. I know that feeling. My wife is my compass, and if I get a giggle out 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.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Doesn't laugh.

[Brian Green]

Doesn't laugh. She downplays it. 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.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Brian Green.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, Brian Green. That's how she says it. She goes, brian Green. And I'll go, okay, maybe not that one.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, there's a. That is a. When you can get your longtime partner to say your name, you're like, that's right. That's the one up thing I've ever said.

[Brian Green]

Did you. 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. Is 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 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.

[Noel Miller]

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, 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. But, yeah, I actually don't think it was always super dark. Yeah, it got there. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I think he gets. 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. 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 this. I'm not laughing at the. You know, I mean, I'm taking in what's going on at the funeral. So it just depends on how you choose to cope with life. And comedy is one of those things that 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.

[Noel Miller]

Oh, thanks, man. Yeah, I think maybe. 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.

[Brian Green]

He's got a boner. He had an erection.

[Noel Miller]

He's a huge dong. Isn't that hilarious? Isn't that an awesome way to die? This guy's got a huge can. They gotta bring a second ambulance. Huge wiener. Isn't that hilarious?

[Brian Green]

It's true. You get a boner when you die.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. Is that true? I hope not.

[Brian Green]

I think it can be true. You get stiff. You get rigor mortis. I hope not, too. It's the ultimate insult. It's the ultimate. I guess it's the ultimate.

[Noel Miller]

Well, don't you shrink as you get older?

[Brian Green]

Yeah. You do? Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. I think I know what will be left depending on when I go.

[Brian Green]

I know. I'm with you on that one.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. If I. If I die at 80 and they. Someone says, like, be careful, he's up. Someone is going to be like, it's fine, it's okay.

[Brian Green]

But I think the doctors are saying that because of the prevalence of calis, these, you know, calis 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 swingers that's running rampant.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Swinger community we talked about.

[Brian Green]

That's right.

[Noel Miller]

I mean, it is incredible. The. You know, this is funny because this is like an idea that has just been in my head. 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 marriages long term is 50%.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

You know, like, half of them still fail despite having these weapons. And, like, Cialis is crazy to me because you could take that and, like, hate your partner.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Noel Miller]

But you can still show up. You get what I'm saying?

[Brian Green]

Absolutely. Yeah. You can still be miserable in every other way. Biologically still available. Biologically still available.

[Noel Miller]

That's great. I didn't realize that old people were getting STDs.

[Brian Green]

Oh, yeah, Noel. It's like a. It really is running rampant and doctors are having to take care of them. They're not using.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Protects teenagers because they're like, whatever. We can't.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Noel Miller]

I'll give you an example straight to Google. I'm sorry.

[Brian Green]

Keep going, Keep going. Yeah. Old people, STDs.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

It's a thing.

[Brian Green]

It's a thing. Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

This is.

[Brian Green]

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. Yes. It's true. 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, till the day they die. And STDs are a problem. They had a lady come in and talk about it.

[Noel Miller]

A board of only fans is rubbing their grubby little hands together.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Noel Miller]

I love this.

[Brian Green]

They love grandma porn that. Only fans. Grandma porn.

[Noel Miller]

That is. Is absurd.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. You so. Have you heard of that place, the Villages down in Florida?

[Noel Miller]

No.

[Brian Green]

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.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

It's huge.

[Brian Green]

Huge. It's like 72 square miles and it's a Disney world for older folks. You can buy a house there.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Get a golf cart.

[Brian Green]

Get a golf cart. You just drink and. And there's drugs and sex and alcohol.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

There's a whole documentary.

[Brian Green]

There's a whole documentary. Yeah, yeah. And, yeah. You got to check this out. So Chrissy and I have been keeping an eye on this because we figure we'll be there pretty soon and we.

[Noel Miller]

Swinging away.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, swinging away.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Swinging away.

[Noel Miller]

Drugging children.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Drugging, drinking, whatever.

[Brian Green]

Because here's my thought. If you're going to go, like, go hog wild on drugs, if you're going to be a coke addict, smoke crack, do crystal meth, you 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 all 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 happening down there.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

They're definitely doing psychedelics.

[Brian Green]

Definitely. They're doing a lot of mushrooms, a lot of weed. And coke, apparently, is a thing, too. So you must be.

[Noel Miller]

You know, because when you think about when you're younger and you take multiple substances, it takes a certain amount of. Of focus.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Noel Miller]

To like, manage that mind state. I mean, they must be living multiple days in a single night.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

High. And then they take Cialis and they do a little something else and a little toot.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

They must. They almost wake up feeling like, am I dead? Right.

[Brian Green]

I might be.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. I didn't. Wow. Old people. I mean, hey, yeah, look it up.

[Brian Green]

You might have a. There's a Whole there's a routine there somewhere. And now they're doing. And now they've got loofahs that they put on their golf carts to indicate if they swing, what kind of swinger they are. So orange yellow is like I'm consciously optimistic.

[Noel Miller]

Dude, swinging at 70 sounds awful.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yes, it sounds awful. At 40 it sounds awful. It just now that I want to watch my wife get pounded by her and listen to it or hear it or, you know, if you're gonna 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're gonna have sex with a 22 year old Latin man.

[Noel Miller]

That pre swing small talk must be graining.

[Brian Green]

Yes, yes.

[Noel Miller]

You're on a double first date. So see, and this is where my like something like that just brings me existential dread. If I'm sitting there and probably, 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.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Noel Miller]

The.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah, no, you're gonna.

[Noel Miller]

My wife. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Leave me alone. Why are we talking about this? So he likes two hands on the shaft when you're mob in the head. I mean, honestly, he's right. He's 100% right.

[Noel Miller]

It's crazy.

[Brian Green]

I think it is crazy. And listen to each their own and yeah, sure, that.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

More power to the ones that like it.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

[Brian Green]

Whatever floats.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. Orgy is listening to this podcast right now. Keep doing you.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yes.

[Noel Miller]

Keep doing your thing.

[Brian Green]

But if swinging is the. 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?

[Noel Miller]

Outsourcing, man.

[Brian Green]

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 walk.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

That's right.

[Brian Green]

That's just weird.

[Noel Miller]

That's just weird.

[Brian Green]

Weird. Yeah. Again, teach their own. But for me, it's dead dread. Dead dread.

[Noel Miller]

I think, I think that's like a deep self hatred.

[Brian Green]

I agree, I agree.

[Noel Miller]

I'm worthless and I need to experience it in real time.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Noel Miller]

Now someone, you know, someone who's 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. Yeah. I don't get it.

[Brian Green]

You should just reply, stop there. I don't care. Yeah. Good for you. Noel Miller is on tour right now. Noelmillerlive.com is where.

[Noel Miller]

And by the way, you know, if you come to see me on tour, we sell a unique merch line. You know, most, most performers, they sell T shirts, hoodies. We actually sell our own cuck chair.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

There you go.

[Noel Miller]

It's folds in four pieces, it disassembles, it fits in a carry on. Extremely comfortable. You can take it to whatever weird hotel. And I know hotels typically come equ equipped with cuck shares, but this one is sort of like a break in.

[Brian Green]

Case it's got an iPhone. Tripod.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah. Oh, no, you're right. I mean I didn't even get to go over the features. So it's got a built in fan. So you know, like the little fan that you get at a theme park. Got that with a mister.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yep.

[Noel Miller]

It does have two USB C ports and you have a standard USB A port. Yeah, it's incredible. And it also doubles as a laptop cooler, so.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Oh, there you go.

[Noel Miller]

And for the low, low price of 59.99. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And perfect. And a flashlight.

[Noel Miller]

Yes. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Fleshlight for all. So that you can get off. You can get off while she's getting off. Everyone's getting off.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, yeah. Now. And this is just, you know, just so we're transparent. This is not standard size flashlight. This is a half light. So it. This is a mini all the way in there. This is, you know. Yeah, it's just for titillation.

[Brian Green]

If you're looking for a word, my cheeks hurt.

[Noel Miller]

But we do have T shirts too. We have T shirts too.

[Brian Green]

Trucker hats available.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah, yeah. For the lot lizards. All right, Noel, look at somewhere nasty. I apologize.

[Brian Green]

No, this is, this is just another episode of the commercial break. By the way. We've said nothing that we don't already normally say. Yeah. We just talked about explosive diarrhea on the last episode. So we're taking it to new heights here. More mediocre comedy for. Yeah, it's. It's not pleasant. Noel Miller. Thank you so much. We really appreciate you coming back. Part two. Part two. Thank you very much for. For coming back. Congratulations on the new garage door, and congratulations on the baby.

[Noel Miller]

Thank you, guys.

[Brian Green]

All the links.

[Noel Miller]

Congratulations on 852 episodes.

[Brian Green]

Thank you. You.

[Noel Miller]

Only 800 more.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, that. Well, we just signed for 800 more, so there we go. Okay.

[Noel Miller]

To infinity and beyond. That should be our new tagline.

[Brian Green]

Thank you so much. Talk soon.

[Noel Miller]

Thank you, guys. All right. This is awesome.

[Brian Green]

Bye.

[Noel Miller]

Bye.

[Brian Green]

That went so many places. I don't even know what to say. I think.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

I think that was a lot of fun.

[Brian Green]

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.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

No, I know.

[Brian Green]

You 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. Noel [e-mail] 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.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

We need to go Thanksgiving week, though. Like the week leading up to Thanksgiving. Maybe we should.

[Chrissy Hoadley]

I think we should do it.

[Brian Green]

Reaching out to people for tickets. A field trip to go see Noel at Center Stage. Yeah. Where I saw Pauly Shore. That's Right. I don't think I've seen seen a comedian there since Paulie 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. Ah, 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. Anyway, all of Noel 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. I think this is gonna be like four pages worth of links when it comes down to it.

[Noel Miller]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

But thank you very much, Noel, for coming and wrapping it up with us. Proper gentlemen. 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 I figured it out. He doesn't want to wake up the kid. Never wake up a sleeping baby. Never. All right, so yeah, we'll be back tomorrow with more fun and shenanigans. Got a good episode lined up for you, so do tune in. Download that. Follow us on your favorite podcast player. Leave a nice review if you're so inclined. Or you can go to our Instagram and follow us at the commercial break. You can try and find Follow us on Tick Tock if you can find us. TCP podcast. I don't know if there's any contents up there, but feel free. I think we have like a hundred people that follow us, but we haven't posted anything in two years, so there you go. There's that too. Maybe we should do that to think about. Tick tock YouTube.com the commercial break for all of the episodes on video where permissible. I just found out one of our videos got banned in Russia.
