Chapter 1: What caused the interruption during Noel's last interview?
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.
No, if you need to go, we can call you back and wrap this up another time.
Just give me like two minutes. Take your time.
I'm going to beat them up.
I'll be right back.

Chapter 2: How does Noel describe his experience with online content creation?
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 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 time. Focus. Yes. Like, manage that mind state. I mean, they must be living multiple days in a single night. Yes. You get high, and then they take Cialis and do a little something else. A little toot, yeah.
They must 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 Greene. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chrissy Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chrissy. Best to you, Brian. 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.

Chapter 3: What unique challenges does Noel face as a live performer?
That's right. Can we reschedule?
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, 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 tickets at NoelMillerLive.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, 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? That sounds good.
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. We'll see if it was backed into. Who knew? All right, we'll be back with Noelle.

And Noel is here for part two, Chrissy. Thank you very much, Noel. Where were we? I know. I was always trying to think about what we talked about.
Noel, 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 happen again.
Yeah, that's a once in a lifetime.
Talking to somebody while somebody hits their house.
Yeah. Yeah. No, that was... I hope to never have that again. I hope that was a one of one.

Chapter 5: What insights does Noel share about interacting with different audience types?
Yes, she... He... Went nose first into the garage. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. I think she thought she was in reverse.
Oh. Classic mistake.
Yeah. Yeah. Was she apologetic? Of course. Right. Very scary. Or did she come out and say, why did you put that fucking garage in my way?
No, no. 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 it definitely won't happen again. You steered away from the aluminum door. It's going to be something real. We use car parts from like 1950s Chryslers. So you're actually going to fold the front half. Yeah.
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 in my college days, I owned 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, yeah.
I had a Honda Accord, and I did not quote-unquote soup it up. I got into a car accident directly after I paid it off. And it took off a good chunk of the front half of the car, basically. I drove it around for another two years. But you couldn't see it from one side.

Chapter 6: What is Noel's perspective on dark humor in comedy?
So when I would go pick somebody up for a date, I'd just park facing the other way. Yeah, I wasn't good with cars. So that was it. But yeah, listen, congratulations on a new car, 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 is like the tempo of the house?
I'm always interested with new age parents.
Yeah, I mean, it's good. He's actually a really good sleeper. Oh, fuck you. I think he's starting to get his teeth, though. That's been waking him up. Yeah, that's over here.
Teething time.
Yeah, right now he kind of pops up at like midnight for a short cry. And then 6 a.m.
is when he's like really feeling it. 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. It's kind of like whatever we can convince him to do. 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. We've had plenty of nights where he just goes for a full 10 or 12, just conked.
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 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?

Chapter 7: How does Noel navigate controversial topics in his material?
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.
September, October. So something like that. Yeah.
Two or three every weekend in September and October.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. And then I have a few in November.
So, you know, you've been so incredibly popular on the internet. You've really built a brand, a couple of brands, right?
So you've, I mean, you've done all right for yourself.

Chapter 8: What are Noel's future plans for his content and performances?
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 it 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. Makes you feel alive. Yeah.
Yeah, I need a goal. But 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 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. Cause you never know. Sure. Like, um, you can, it's, 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 they kind of want a lot of material, kind of dial up the tempo and try to give more. Um, if the crowd is maybe a bit more chilled out, like sometimes you get that, you know, you 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 to 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.
Where is your favorite place? Where's the Noel Miller crowd? Like where is it like, oh my God, I can't wait to go play the show.
