Occupy clown school with T.J. Miller and David Lunch

Thank you. Thank you. Welcome to the Adam O Podcast. Woo-hoo! Yes. We are here at Skid Row Studios.com. That's right, Skid Row Studios.com. I'm Adam O, the legendary serial mascot who changed the face of the Milky Way. How many more times do you have to hear that, boys and girls, before you can't hear it anymore? If you'd like to call our program tonight, please call 800-893-9562. Well, I wanted a little... A little help, guys, because I've been having a hard week, and what I mean by help is, yes, I need your support. You see, I've been taking clown classes at the Clown Academy here in Los Angeles, California with Uncle Chickster. Uncle Chickster, how you doing today? I'm doing fantastic, Adam O. Yes, so me and Uncle Chickster have been taking clown classes, and Uncle Chickster got to remain in the class, and I got kicked out of the clown class. I got kicked out of the clown class for bringing a horse into clown class for my thesis. I thought it was cool. So I went back home, and I cried a little bit because I'm 12, and the mailman came over, and he said, hey, Adam, how's it going? You know what? Jerome, I'm having a hard time. Oh, you're having a hard time, Adam O. Oh, I see. Why are you having a hard time, Adam O? Well, Jerome, I thought I was doing the right thing in clown class, but I got kicked out for bringing a horse. Adam O, he said as Jerome looked at me in the eyes with his long dreadlocks and his pierced nose. He said, Adam O, I'm the mailman, and we the people, we need to stick together. And then all of a sudden, like lightning, Jerome told me the most powerful thing about clown class. The most powerful word ever. He said, Adam, you need to occupy clown school, my fruit fig. I was confused and worried that all my money for the last six years of taking clown classes went away to the merchandise booth, and that I would never see that money again. So I slept on it, and I woke up the next day, and I picked up all the cereal boxes here at, Crispin Organic Cereal Factory. I grew a beard, got my ears pierced, got neon loops through my ears, and I followed Jerome's lead by marching around the factory with only one word that sounded like a lion's roar. Occupy, my fruit fig. Well, that's three words. But occupy stuck with me. So boys and girls, tonight, I'm gonna go out on a limb, and I'm gonna occupy clown classes. I'm gonna go out on a limb, and I'm gonna occupy clown classes. Uncle Chickster? Yes? You're still in the clown academy. Yes, I am, Adamo. You see, I'm a clown. I go to school, and clowns sometimes are people's fools. I mean, I make them laugh, and they cry with me, and I do a little chant. They look at me, and they say, he can't, but I fool them. I make them laugh. Uncle Chickster, you're the clown. I know. I do all kinds of things. I do the chant on my head. I do somersaults. I do flips. I have all these different expressions. I'm excited about it, Adamo. Yeah, of course, because you're a fruit guy. A fruity guy. You calling me a fruitcake? Hey, listen, man. My suit's falling apart. I'm falling apart like a cheap suit. Hey, listen, Uncle Chickster. I'm the Marc Maron of the kids' podcast. That's right. I'm the Marc Maron of the kids' podcast. The cereal mascot who changed the face of cereal. And I'm gonna stand up for what I believe in. And I'm gonna occupy clown classes. And I'm gonna occupy clown school. I spent my whole life here at Crispin Organic Cereal Factory at the top of Crunch Mountain. And now, the clowns, the people who I thought were my own, they turned against me. It's okay, boys and girls. This is the Adamo Podcast, where Pee-Wee's Playhouse meets Saturday Night Live for kids. And let me tell you about the kitchen here at the factory, where we're at right now, here at Skid Row Studios. That's right. We're in the kitchen. We're not really at Skid Row Studios. We're still at the cereal factory. It's in my head. But we'll talk about that another episode. Let me tell you about my refrigerator. My refrigerator is a cut-out figure of myself. That's right. It's wearing a checkered suit, the gold bow tie. Huge afro tonight. A little pick in it, thanks to Jerome. Gave me that. An appreciation to the march that I'm gonna have to do on my own since Chickster's not with me. And yes, it's a cut-out fridge. And you could open the fridge and walk inside it. Yeah, a real walk-inside fridge of myself. That's one of the components here in the kitchen at the cereal factory. I also have a cereal puppet cabinet where you could open up the shelf and a lot of puppet cereal boxes. Talk to me. Pick me, Adamo. No, pick me. I'm the best. No, pick me. So I get my choice of the best nutrition cereal mankind has to offer here at Crispin Organic Cereal. And of course, it's the outer window to humans that come onto my show once in a while. Milk a cow and give it shoes. It's a frozen Walt Disney over there. Wait a second. That's not a frozen Walt Disney. Boys and girls. Boys and girls. It looks like... It looks like it's David Lunch. Yes, that is David Lunch. Yep, you got me, Adamo. I mean, of course it's me. You invited me to be here. You invited me to sit right across the table from you. Yep, it's me. Now, I'd like to get a couple things straight before we proceed. You spend your free time with a man named Jerome. Mr. Lunch, you're my arch nemesis and rival. Jerome is the Melman here at Crispin Organic Cereal Factory. Okay, then who's the guy that teaches the clown school? His name's Wilbert. Okay. Now, who's the guy... He's calling you, like, fig leaf or fruit fig? That's Jerome, the Melman. Okay. It's actually, uh, fruit fig. So, occupy my fruit fig. He said, and he gives me a pound with it. Okay. As always, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, but it's a pleasure to be here, and I'm glad the subject is clowns because I'm actually working on a new project where I go into a room with a clown, and the clown has a human ear in its hand. And it sits in the corner. And then I bring a child into the room with the clown. And we just, we let the camera roll, and I tell you, Adamo, we've been getting some major fireworks, and I'm really excited about this project. That sounds neat, David. It sounds like a real clown of a project. The humdinger. Ha! Humdinger. Oh, lunch. When will you ever stop? I'm gonna have to slime you sometime. Okay. We'll have to do that. Anyways, boys and girls, it's David Lunch. It's Lunchtime with David Lunch. David Lunch, how's your week been? It was good until I got here. I'm not comfortable surrounded by all this cereal. I wish you would have these things at a neutral site, but to answer your question, I had a very good weekend. My mother, God bless her, she's 91 years old. She recently bought me some golf lessons. I was out in Palm Springs playing golf. Never been very good at it, but hopefully I'm gonna be improving here sometime soon. Great, David. You're at the right place at the right time. How about you improve your mind by following me on the Occupy Clown School agenda today. What do you say? Absolutely not, but keep going. I'm curious to see what you'll say next. Well, what I'm gonna say next is our special guest. That's right. We have a very special clown that's gonna be here. One of the funniest clowns in the Milky Way. He's gonna be on my show. He comes in through the magic window. He's in traffic right now in his clown mobile. He's also a stand-up comedian. And we're honored to have him. He's been in so many movies. Woo! Deck my halls. His name is T.J. Miller. Do you know who he is, David Lunch? Barney Miller? T.J. Miller. T.J. Miller. T.J. Miller. Alright, now repeat after me. Yes. We want our money back. We are not clowns. Wait. Jerome left me a poem. We want our money back. We are not clowns. You smell like poop. I want my money back. We are not clowns. Okay, that one got a little complicated. You smell like poop. I want my money back. We are not clowns. Is that right? Jerome dropped out of school when he was young, he said. And he just left me this poem. Come on, David. This is the Occupy Clown School. Okay, so once again, this gentleman, I don't know what those two things have in common. He dropped out of school, so he left you a poem. Well, that's why T.J.'s gonna be here. He's a good clown. No one's ever left me a poem. Whether they went to school or graduated or not. I think this is a remarkable man. I'd like to meet him someday. And, um... Well, T.J. Miller will be here shortly, David Lunch. Well, that's great, because he's a fantastic talent, and it would be great to have someone on the show like that. Well, it's about time we have somebody on the show like that. Because usually, they just call us up. They tend to get stuck in traffic. Or get lost. Or, I guess, forget. But their spirit remains. Speaking about spirit, did you hear last week's episode? I almost fired Schickster. Yeah, I'm glad you didn't. Because, you know, I like looking at him. He's got a nice mustache. It adds a lot to the show. I wish you out there in radio land could see it. But, um, just let me tell you, it's a good one. And, Adam, I like your mustache, too. It's a genuine mustache. You must have taken a lot of time to grow that sucker, but your dedication paid off. Well, thanks to Schickster and his collection, he gave me a little pencil. A black pencil. So I just colored it in, boys and girls. I colored it in. Only if you could see me right now. Oh, you colored that in. That's not actual facial hair. Nope. It's because I'm no longer a clown, and I can grow a mustache. Hmm. Hey, Schickster. Fooled me. Are you excited for T.J. Miller? He's on the show tonight. He's really gonna be here. T.J. Miller, right. I won't have to fire you. I know who he is. He used to have all kinds of women around him. He had one of those zebra shows out in Tijuana. That's right, Schickster. He had one of those zebra shows in Tijuana. Not! Hey, speaking of the forecast, let's check in with our astrologist, Una Mars. Hey, Una, how's it going? Good, Adam-o. I'm gonna teach the little boys and girls, you know, how to relax for a couple minutes. Well, guys, take a little break. You're gonna need a little rest while she tells you the forecast. Yeah, relax, kids. Chill out. Chill out, guys. David, what do you do when you chill out? Well, you know, I like to meditate. And, um, I like to, I like to, well, I can't talk about smoking cigarettes because cigarettes are bad, kids, and so is coffee. So, as far as anyone under the age of 18 is concerned, I meditate and I sleep, and that's all. That's the edited version. And, anyway, Una Mars. Ladies and gentlemen, Una Mars. Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight. Hello, everyone, boys and girls, grandmas, grandpas, clowns and jesters. This is Una Mars, your friendly astrological correspondent on behalf of the Adam-o podcast here at Skid Row Studios in Los Angeles, California. To all Aquarians sharing a birthday today, happy, happy birthday. Happy birthday! Yay! You could be taken aback by how demanding someone could become. You understand a lot more than you originally thought possible. Your reaction to run from this person comes from a grounded spot. Still, handle the issue. Tonight, have fun, fun, fun. But just remember, love comes when you least expect it. Thirty-six percent of all romances start in the toilet. These two facts are linked together, and I point them out strictly for your amusement and as something to look forward to. Zippity doo dah, zippity ay, my, oh, my, what a wonderful, wonderful night. Plenty of moonlight coming your way. Zippity doo dah, zippity ay. This is Una Mars signing off. Until next time, be safe, have fun, and look up at the stars whenever you can. Boys and girls, that was Una Mars. Thank you very much, Una Mars. That really chilled me out. Well, I'm all hopped up on cereal after that. Woo, I feel good. Hey, Chickster, how do you feel? Well, I feel good. I feel energized. I love cereal, you know, that I eat about five bowls. You know, it's one of my diets, about five bowls each day, and you know, I keep gaining weight. But I don't understand that, because cereal, I thought you'd lose weight, Adam-O. Boys and girls, Uncle Chickster is out of his mind. Well, any minute now, our guest, T.J. Miller, should be here and if we actually do see T.J., let's all give him a warm welcome by saying, We love you, T.J. Boys and girls, do you really think he's gonna show? That is the question. Lunch, do you think he's gonna show? I got a good feeling he will. I think actually when he walks in the room, let's sing Zippity-Doo-Dah. Alright. It'll knock his socks off. I agree. You'll know what he's getting into. It'll be great. Alright, you lead, Lunch. Okay. Great. Well, we gotta wait till he gets to- Countdown. Wanna rehearse? Yep, rehearsal. Zippity-Doo-Dah. Okay. No, come on, you can do a little more than that. Nope, I'm gonna save it for when he walks in. Alright, fine. Zippity-Doo-Dah, Zippity-Day. Oh my, oh my, what a wonderful day. Wait, did I try it, Adam? Alright, try it, Jake-ster. Remember to keep the eye on the prize. Occupy clown schools. Zippity-Doo-Dah, Zippity-Yay. My, oh my, yes! What a wonderful day. Oh, Chickster, wow. That was a good one. That was great, it was like a nutritional bar. So, how much does it cost to go to clown school, just out of curiosity? $400,000, David. Per lesson, or is that for a full year, or what do you get for the 400 big ones? CEO of Crispin Organic Cereal Factory sent me to clown school. Thought it was gonna be a good idea, so I wouldn't be so bored during the days. So they covered the cost, they gave you a full ride, huh? Full ride. Uncle Chickster as well. I don't know how this cereal company stays in business. Moving right along, boys and girls. We're gonna go into Chickster's Cereal World News. You have one minute, Chickster. Take it away. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls alike, I'm glad you came here. Today's news is about clown school. You too can be a clown. No, Chickster. All you have to do is go to the Adam Moe Clown School and learn how to juggle and learn how to laugh and learn how to be yourself. I know you can do it. I know I put my two cents in. Whatever it takes, Adam Moe. Zippity doo da, zippity yay. My, oh my, what a wonderful day. Boys and girls, T.J. Miller's here. Oh, T.J. Miller's here. Yes. Oh, I'm happy, Adam Moe. This is already insane. I'm so excited. Hello. Thanks for being here. You guys, thanks for having me. Thank you so much, T.J., for being here. Oh, boy. This is a show where we're all hopped up on cereal. You got David Lunch to the left of you. Good to see you again. How you been? Good to see you again, David Lunch. Everyone's got a mustache but me. I wish I'd brought that pencil that you use. It looks legit. I swear to God it does. Look at that thing. That's fake. All right, David. That's enough. I'm gonna slime you. Oh, you guys, I'm so happy to be here. I was thinking of eating corn pops this morning, but I was in an airport and they never have corn pops. So I was unable to even have any cereal this morning. I had a Cinnabon, though. I had those teeny tiny Cinnabons. Plan B, Cinnabon. David Lunch, do you like Cinnabons? Well, I tell ya, I like sugar in whatever form it comes, except cereal. I have a vendetta against that in a moment. We'll get into that later, but Cinnabon's okay in my book, yes. They're very weighty, though. You know, I had three of them and they kind of weighted down into my stomach and my stomach felt weighted into my legs. And I wasn't able to make my flight because I was sort of a sloth. Milk a cow and give it shoes. There it is. That's true. And I ended up doing that because I had another three-hour layover. So I milked a cow and I gave it shoes. And had another Cinnabon, hopefully. Yeah. That's good stuff. No more Cinnabons for me. Yeah, I like, I might do Lucky Charms tonight. You guys ever do cereal at night? Yes, of course you do. Yes. All the time, every day. I mean, that's all I, that's what I live on here at the cereal factory in downtown Los Angeles. Yeah? Yeah, hopped up on cereal, boys and girls. Follow me. I'll be the face of 2012. Aha! Following you to clown school. Thanks, Lunch. I remember when I was a little kid, Adam. Uncle Tix was a little bit more of a boy than a girl. He gets a little nervous around celebrities, so bear with us. But when I was in a save, I... Look at his face. It's blushing. But you don't understand me. His mustache is growing. Yes! When I used to reach in a box of cereal... It's getting bigger, it is. It's creepy. I always found the prize. And right now, we found T.J. Miller. What could be better, Adamo? Put on your glasses, Chickster. You forgot them today. Usually Chickster wears glasses. Excuse me, T.J. No, please. Sometimes I do. I feel like a Cracker Jack prize, you know, of cereal. You guys ever feel like a decoder ring? Those are fun. You all had those? T.J., I'm 12. What's a decoder ring? I mean, a decoder ring... That's, you know, you put it on and you're able to decode messages between you and your friends about which girls you might have a crush on. You hear that, boys and girls? Which for me was no one, ever. Gross. Are you serious? Yeah, gross. So, I was recently at this festival in Utah, and it seemed like every other person that I bumped into, that I told about my show, somehow or another heard about my show because you were on the show. Really? For one episode. It's amazing what you could do to a little boy's dream. Aha! That might have come out wrong, but we understand the sentiment. Yes, but T.J. did elevate that show. He really did, and thanks again for being a part of it. Thank you, T.J., yes. I'm always happy to be a part of it. This is the kind of wackiness that I need in my everyday life. You know, we all need it. We don't eat enough cereal, I guess is what I'm saying. No, I agree. Both metaphorically and the other kind. It's true. I mean, I don't know about you, T.J., but I mean, it's hard enough for me, personally, to get here at 8 o'clock and do an hour show. You're on the road, like, every day doing five gigs, you know, being in movies, shooting movies, music videos, Comedy Central albums and specials. How do you do it? Well, guess, how do you do it? How do I do it? Yeah! A new catchphrase, boys and girls. You know, I feel like today I got really stressed out. I was very stressed out. It is a lot. Sometimes it's a lot of traveling, you know. It's a lot of sitting in between people that turn to you and kind of cough, and just a little bit of peanut gets on your shoulder, but your arms are trapped on either side. Your right and your left are pinned in, so you can't wipe off. You've got a tiny peanut. From his mouth. It came over when he said to you, Have you seen War Horse? You know? Not a good feeling. Yeah, so it's just, you know, sometimes you feel weighted down by little pieces of peanuts. Hmm, interesting. Chickster, have you ever been on an airplane? Yes, you know, in fact, I used to have a fear of flying. You have many fears, Chickster. We get it. No, but seriously, I was always afraid that the pilot bailed out and, you know, I don't know what to do. Yeah, I have that exact same fear that I'm going to get on a plane and the pilot's just going to bail out, just like, sucks to be you guys, see you later. Hasn't happened yet, but, you know, it could. Great. I have to live with that. I have a lot of fears. I have fear of heights, but only certain ones. Anything between three foot one and three foot three. I'm afraid of that. It's a rough height. I'm afraid of five-six to about five, or really just five-six. And then sometimes, I'll tell you, anything about ten foot four inches to ten foot seven inches. I'm afraid of those heights. You're not alone. No, you're not. I'm afraid of growing up. Really? Yeah, I have a fear. You gotta do it one time, right? You do, and that's why I'm here right now, and talking to grown-ups about, you know, success, victory, love, happiness, joy. I follow you a lot on Facebook and the Twitter. It's fascinating. So, about a couple weeks ago, what exactly happened now that I have you face-to-face? You probably don't want to hear about this. It wasn't at a cereal factory, boys and girls. TJ performs often at the world-famous Laugh Factory, and something about Mr. Dane Cook and conflict? Dane Cookie. Dane Cookie. Deck my halls. You know, I felt that that evening one of the performers, boys and girls, was being abusive to the audience, boys and girls, and I think that's bad behavior, boys and girls. So that needs to be announced. But I, you know, I made the mistake of doing it on Twitter, and I didn't think anybody would care or notice. I just thought it was me just sort of ranting to my followers, and then the Onion AV Club starts picking it up. So it just was, it got really big, really fast for no real reason. Because I don't particularly care what Dane Cook does, really. It's just that night, it pissed me off that he kind of trashed this audience before two other performers had to perform, which he did in an hour and a half. And so that's fine, and so you know, but we've all had bad sets. I get that aspect of it. But I just, I think it was really, really, he said some weird stuff to the audience that I thought was really mean. Yeah, I know, I mean, just following those conversations, you and your fan base, it was interesting. It showed a whole new, you know, a whole new layer of T.J. Miller. How you really were vulnerable and saying about, like, you know, women. How you really feel about, like, don't cross the line and treat women. And he was saying some weird things. I like that a lot, because I one day will have a girlfriend, T.J. Well, I'm sure you will. Look at your bouffant. Well. I think referring to your hair, I don't think that's the right word, but look at it. Still. But there's two layers to me. There's that layer that, you know, doesn't like misogynistic material, but allows it to still be out there because anyone can say anything in public forum. I just don't think they should treat people badly. There's that layer. And there's a layer right above it that's made of tapioca pudding. Mmm. Sounds delicious. It's sort of a dessert. Now, if you were to create a kids show in 2012, how do you think your TV kids show would go? Like, I mean, considering that it's so hard to be futuristic for kids, yet they all play with their iPhones. The name of it would be apostrophe Mayan trouble. Okay. M-A-Y-A-N. And it'd sort of be about how in 2012, you know, the Mayans predicted the end of the world. And it's kind of these kids that are always getting into trouble with the school board. Nice. But also the world might end. So they're always like, Mayan trouble! And it kind of has a dual meaning. It'll be animated. I would want it to be animated and it would be sort of me as kind of a chubby kid. Just the legs. Just the chubbiest legs and then a skinny top. And kind of similar hair to you, Adam. Thank you. Thank you very much. That sounds neat. I think that would be fun. And what would your catchphrase be? Mayan trouble! That would be to emphasize the name of the show. Would you work with David Lunch in the show? Are you kidding me? I would work with David Lunch. I don't want to say anything. Look at, I mean, even his outfit today is inspiring. Wait, boys and girls, we're getting a little bit of a phone call on my cell phone. It's from the actor Chris Dodson. Chris Dodson, are you there? Yeah, I'm here. Hey, Chris, I heard you're the face of Hot Pockets. I am the face of Hot Pockets. Wow, how do you feel about being the face of Hot Pockets? Well, I'm 50% the face of Hot Pockets. The other guy's name is Cody. He's the other half, so I'm half of him. Well, guess what, Chris? A huge fan of yours is next to us today here at the Adamo Podcast, TJ Miller. Hey! Yeah. Yeah, I've heard TJ Miller's a huge fan of mine. I'm a huge fan of his. So this is good that we can be fans. This is great to be able to talk to each other and be fans of one another. It's so close. It's awesome. So very close to one another. Yeah. We are. So... Yeah. Alright, Chris, I actually have to get back... So the Hot Pockets... Hot Pockets, yeah. Looks like they're friends, boys and girls. What is the...? Well, we shot the... Hot Pockets has a new product out, which I can't quite remember the name at the moment. Is it a secret thing? You can't tell us because it's more of a secret? Oh, it's on Facebook. Oh, it's out there. Oh, it's out there. Okay, fair enough, fair enough. Yeah. So what is it? Is it... I think they're called, like, snackers and they're baked. Are they smaller? Yeah, they're smaller. You can pop them in your mouth and eat them, like, yeah. Whatever you do with Hot Pockets. Because what is smaller than a pocket? Um... A puppet. A puppet. Well, a lot of puppets are... Puppets can be kind of big. But that's exciting. So you're one of the main guys in the... Yeah, yeah. Me and this other dude and we're just kind of slacker, stoner, kind of good dudes and, you know, we shot, like, five of these webisodes and see what happens with it. Yeah. See, I like that. See, I don't have that range to play the... No? That's kind of stoner, slacker thing. I'm kind of always sort of douchey ranger. Park ranger. You know? But they say that in different films, obviously. Yeah. But it really is... It really stems from that. Park rangers are hot right now. And I think they're gonna be hot for, like, another five to six years. Ugh! And they're only getting hotter. Yeah, you're good. That's a good... You cornered that market. And we're in Sleeveless shirts lately. Yeah. That's how hot it's getting. You're gonna be fine. Thanks. Yeah, man. Sleeveless sweaters. Yeah. I got... This is sleeveless. Chris, I actually gotta get back to my guest, DJ. I know you guys are having a conversation. Okay, well, listen. Just get my number from Adam and give me a ring. Yeah. We'll talk. Thank you. That was Chris Dodson, boys and girls. I live near you. I'm still here. I said I live near you. He's always doing his thing. I live by the left. He's always acting. I'm always there. Always meeting him. Ruining my reputation there. Hey, Chixer, how's it going? Pretty good. I heard about... Bye, Chris. Well, I'm sorry, Adamo. Bye, Adam. I heard about Hot Pockets. Still there? And Hot Pockets, to me, I remember Confucius... Alright, Chixer, we'll be right back, boys and girls. Wait a second. I didn't say what I'm trying to say. I'm saying about Hot Pockets. I'm saying Confucius say, man with hole in pocket, liable to feel cocky. You know what, Chixer? You haven't even gave us a famous yes yet. Let's hear it. Yeah! We'll be right back, boys and girls, after this clown track. Hit it, DJ. We're with TJ Miller. Here we go. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Boy. He was the drummer, right? I thought he drummed. Well, yeah, he's playing. He plays drums for the Beach Boys now. He's doing it as we speak. Brian Wilson. Legendary guy. Brian Wilson. Genius. Jimmy, wouldn't you love to see him and Jimmy Buffett have just a hand slapping contest where they slap each other's hands? I'd love, yeah. Can't top that. A two second conversation between those two would be legendary. I mean, two seconds. Do you even know a Jimmy Buffett song? Yeah, the Wasting Away and Wasting Away and Margaritaville. Yeah, Drinking It Up and Margaritaville. There was another song that he wrote that was Wasting Away and Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of. That was it. And that's just, that was what he wrote. He wrote that one before he was sober enough to write Margaritaville. Now, going back to the Comedy Central music videos and album you put out, I actually was a backup dancer in one of your videos, which was probably the highlight of 2011. I mean, that is so sad in so many ways. Why? Well, just to be, I'm such a weirdo. But you know what? You're just as weird. I think that's the reason. Yeah, but you're a lot smarter. I don't have that wit, which is why I stopped kind of doing the stand-up comedy. I realized that I need to perform. I can't really, I can't, you know, an audience has to be on their toes. You have to be back and forth. I'm too slow. I come, that's why I go down to the kids. I don't necessarily agree with that, but I do think I do think that you benefit from a fourth wall. There's something good about you sort of, because you're so bizarre sometimes, man. I remember when I first saw you at a bowling alley in Eagle Rock. Okay. I've been to that one. And you can, you know, you can eat hot wings there. Yes. You can have, you know, a beer or two for a dollar. And you were in, I think, a full unitard or something. And you were just screaming some sort of song lyrics. But now you know where I get it from. Look at my father. He's falling asleep right now, and yet he woke up to say that. That's not fair, Adamo. No, but I mean, it was so impressive. I immediately was like, who is this guy doing this weird stuff? And, uh, but yeah, you've, but I think, like, the children's show is a great forum for you. Because you're really, really, really funny. You both are David Lunch. That's huge. That's a huge, uh. And I didn't even know. I didn't even know that you're, uh, you know, I had to see the whole thing to see an episode with David Lunch really come through. Yeah, no, absolutely. This guy's, uh, plays my arch nemesis and villain. But I mean, he also looks amazing. You just look and sound and are amazing in that show. But so many components of it are so great. That's why I love doing it. Now, when you drive, uh, do you, do you listen to music or are you always, like, thinking about, you know, what you're gonna say on the next stage since you're always going somewhere to be in the public eyes? No, I, I mean, sometimes I think about it. I don't think about my act enough, I don't think. But I, I, uh, yeah, usually in cards I just listen to certain songs on repeat. It's really crazy. Yeah. It's just a constant. That's just to sort of keep me moving to the next thing. I mean, it's just amazing how recently, like, in the, I'm talking literally in the last 12 months, I mean, you have blown up this, this town, um, in the, in the comedy arena. It's such a, there's no way to say it without it sounding disgusting. I say that because I love you. I do. Alright, boys, boys and girls, uh, yeah, alright, I didn't mean to say it like that. No, no, no. Alright. It just, it, all I mean is simply that, uh, you know, it is, it's strange though. There is sort of a momentum. I was in Madison and all the shows sold out and they added another show on Saturday and that one sold out. So, we'll see what happens but pretty soon people are gonna find out that I'm a Sherwood. Do you know what that means? No, I do not. What is it? It's a faker, a fibber, a man who tells lies. His pants are on fire and look into his eyes. Alright, um. We should have sung that song when he was in. We should have. Uh, what did we sing? Yippity-doo-dah? Yeah, I think he sang Zippity-doo-dah. Zippity-doo-dah. Yippity-doo-dah. Yippity-doo-dah. It's another one that Jimmy Buffett wrote right before Zippity-doo-dah. I actually like Jimmy Buffett. I had an uncle. I was obsessed with him. I mean, I would believe that. Parrothead? That's what they call him. Yes. My mom's brother. Yeah? Was he a parrothead? Uh, yeah. And were you ever into Jimmy Buffett? No, but one time his friend couldn't go to the concert with him so he dragged me and I got to see it. It was pretty good. Alright. It is pretty good, right? I like Jimmy Buffett. He grows on you throughout the years. Yeah. I'm into it. And now he has this whole empire. It's so weird. He sells beer and has burger restaurants. Wow. In Florida, right? He's like a Florida guy, isn't he? I know he's a big Miami Heat fan. I'm not making that up. He's a big Miami Heat fan. He's like the Diane Cannon. What Diane Cannon is to the Lakers, he is to the Heat. Except less hot. Is Diane Cannon still hot? I don't know. Adam O., over to you. I don't even know who Diane Cannon is, Lunch. Yep. No worries. I'm gonna syrup you now. I'm 66 years old. Green slimes. I find certain people attractive that you don't know exist. Let's keep it that way. Less competition for me. And Uncle Chickser, do you have any questions for TJ Miller? I'm still trying to figure out this Jimmy Buffet. What is that? A nude bar? $7.99 all you can eat? Chickser, what happened to your shirt? It means food, kid. $7.99. Burger stains on it. I don't want to, maybe I shouldn't mention it, but I went to that loco place. El Pollo Loco. For two bucks. You know, I like two dollar chuck and I like two buck burritos. They grill them and I spell them on my shirt all the time. That's great. Uncle Chickser, your final thoughts, questions for Mr. Miller. Let's see. Well, I'm very happy to meet Mr. Miller. Uncle Chickser's old school, boys and girls. He doesn't go through the internet. He actually prints out IMDB pages and reads them here at the studio. It's pretty fascinating. But seriously, I'm very happy to be near TJ. He was in Yogi Bear and I'm a big fan of Yogi Bear. Yeah, I'm wearing a hat. My sister gave me a hat that says Yogi Bear on it. No, no. Yeah, look at that. That's coincidental. But I... Hey, hey, hey. Gosh, Yogi. And he played Ranger Jones. My favorite. Alright, and that's Uncle Chickser. That is Yogi and Boo Boo right there. There was a guy he did, he read for Boo Boo and Boo Boo is actually pretty hard. Your Boo Boo is pretty good. Oh, gee, thanks very much. Yeah. No? That's it. You know, it's interesting. The guy that read for it was much better than Justin Timberlake. But Justin Timberlake still did a pretty good Boo Boo. You're friends with Justin Timberlake. You know, I was. We sort of had a falling out once he realized that I was not Britney Spears. I'm trying to think of who he dated. He dated Britney Spears, I believe, yeah. And he dated Carmen Electra. Not Carmen Electra. Diane Cannon. No. Diane Cannon. JT and DC. She was in The Mask with Jim Carrey. Cameron Diaz. There you go. Yep. That's what I should have said, boys and girls. Now, who are your comic influences? Steve Martin. Yes. Woody Allen. Marx Brothers. Most of all, WC Fields and the Marx Brothers. Nice, nice. Going way back. I like it. Well, boys and girls, it's that time. It's just been a very, very special honor to have TJ Miller here at the Adamo Podcast. Thank you so much for having me. Usually our guests just end up calling in the show. You showed up and it shows why you are the star to be, and you are. Thank you. Listen, I came down here and I love it. David Lunch, I'd like to invite you to breakfast for dinner. I'll be there. I don't know what it is, but I'm there. I mean, that's how open he is to everything. Uncle Chickster. Yes. It's an honor. Thank you, TJ. I really appreciate it. It's very nice to you. Thanks for having us. Just slow down on those burritos. Yes, they're delicious and you want to eat them right away, but you've got to just savor every flavor. No, you're right. Thank you guys for having me. Thank you so much. Follow TJ on Twitter. That's TJ Miller. This is the Adamo Podcast. And we'll see you next week, boys and girls, and eat your breakfast. And your lunch. Thank you. Yes, Jeremy's studio. All podcasts. Twelve shows.
