MJ Lenderman CALLS OUT Cameron Winter (not clickbait)

All right, quiet, let's go for it.
How you gonna make your way in the world
When you weren't cut out for working
And your fingers are slender and frail
How you gonna get around
In this sleazy bedroom town
If you don't put yourself up for sale
Where you gonna go with your scarves
And your miracles
Who's gonna know who you are
Drugs and wine and flattering light
You must try again until you get it right
Maybe I'll end up with someone different
Every night
All these people with no home to go home to
They'd all love to spend the night with you
Maybe I would too
Tell me how you gonna make your way in the world
When you weren't cut out for working
And you just can't concentrate
And you always show up late
You said you were an actor
Well, I believe you are
Well, I believe you are
But I thought you would be a star
So I drank up all our money
With these phonies in this Hollywood bar
With these friends of mine in this Hollywood bar
With these friends of mine in this Hollywood bar
Loneliness
Loneliness
And frustration
You and I have both calmed down
With an acute case
But when the lights came up at two
And I caught a glimpse of you
And your face looked like something death brought with him
In a suitcase
Oh, your pretty face
Looks so wasted
Another pretty face
French inhaler
Stamped and mailer
So long, Norman
So long, Norman
I know.
Welcome to a very special episode of the Adam Freeland Show.
Guys, it's me, Adam.
Real quick, before we jump in, low ticket warning.
February 19th to the 21st, Helium Comedy Club, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I will be there.
In addition, I'll be in Portland next month, March 27th to the 29th, and Los
Angeles, May 9th.
They added a second show at the Regent Theater.
There's a link in the description for tickets.
And as you have seen already, my guest this week is singer-songwriter MJ Lenderman.
Give it up for him, guys.
Woo!
MJ actually performed two songs for us in the studio,
and the full performance will be released on Friday, February 13th.
Friday the 13th?
What are we doing?
That's what I wrote in here.
Oh, you already wrote this in the...
Yeah, I keep reading it.
Way to tick.
Friday the 13th.
Scream at the top of the lungs?
So, no, I'm just kidding.
It's not scary.
We're going to be releasing more live performances with great musicians.
We've recorded a couple of them already.
How many, Thomas?
Two, three, three others.
Some of them will be longer episodes of the Adam Friedland Show.
Some of them will be shorter, just performances and then five-minute interviews.
Guys, it's going to be great.
It's Taps Unplugged.
Look at the fucking logo.
It's Taps Unplugged.
For the full MJ Lenderman performance, stick around Friday the 13th.
It's not scary.
It's coming out.
And there are more exciting guests to come.
Including rap.
We had a rap.
We had a rap on Friday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, guys, please enjoy my interview with MJ Lenderman.
It's really good.
He looks like a young David Letterman.
All right.
Guys.
I don't like this.
I make all the guests do walkouts, and it's actually very, I don't like it.
Is your mom?
Oh, Zach, thank you.
Can you guys get this stuff out here?
Both.
Hi.
What up, twin?
That was a great performance.
Give it up for Jake, guys.
When we've had rappers on the show, I get Don Hoolie for them, and I wanted to
pay tribute.
Thank you.
So, this is the most expensive one, just so you know.
Wait, I don't know how to open this.
What do you mean you don't know how to open this?
I don't know.
I feel like there's probably some sort of...
You're not a rapper, obviously.
Have you chilled with rappers since you...
Just my middle school basketball coach, Rolla Green.
Rolla Green.
I made beats for him.
You made beats for your...
Wait, did you have to call him Coach Rolling Green?
No, he had a normal name as a coach.
What was it?
Coach Scott.
That's pretty cool.
Clay, here you go.
Tribute to you.
Thank you.
Welcome to the show.
We had the other young buck in the studio.
He watched you.
Who'd that be?
Cameron, dude.
Dude, you said he was taller than you.
He's literally one inch taller than you.
No, he's not.
He's like two feet taller than me.
What are you talking about?
Oh, this is like...
I was standing up here.
Dude, we saw the young buck.
We saw the young bucks, and then we saw Unk, my friend Riley.
And it was like...
I was at a dog park.
And you guys were all smelling each other's butts.
You were all peeing in different corners.
Yeah, it was definitely like...
It was like the Don't Look Back, Donovan, Bob Dylan battle.
You've seen that, right?
Of course.
Yeah, I'm forgetting, though.
Bob is like...
Donovan's like playing a really beautiful song.
You can just see him, like, not...
Like, he just wants to, like, defeat.
He wants to destroy.
And he's like antsy.
And then he takes the guitar.
That's why Cameron just left.
Yeah, yeah.
You just don't look back to him.
Yeah.
And then he peed in the corner.
Have you met any of your goats yet?
Since you've become a rocker?
Yeah.
I mean, the Truckers.
That was your favorite band growing up.
Yeah.
Dinosaur Jr.
Oh, sick.
Riley's boys with them, too.
Give it up for Riley.
You went on tour with them, no?
Yeah, a long time ago.
All right.
All right.
It's cool that kids are in bands again.
We had a millennial conversation with all the millennials,
and we're like,
I think that there's never going to be another band.
And now you guys are all like...
I mean, it's really nice that kids like Neil again and stuff.
Kids like Neil?
You like you.
Oh.
Yeah.
Baby bros like Neil.
I was like, he's pretty old, but...
You don't like Neil Young as a guy?
No, no.
I have the Neil Young archives app on my phone.
Oh, sick.
Well, because he's off of Spotify because Joe Rogan podcast...
He's back on Spotify.
Oh, he made...
I bought it while he was off of Spotify,
and then he went back on.
He made peace with...
So I'm a little mad at him for that, but...
How much was the archives app?
I don't remember.
Ten dollars a year, maybe?
I mean, ten dollars a year?
Maybe a month.
A month?
That's like Netflix money.
No, I think it's a year.
It was really nice of him that he became an American citizen
so he could vote for Bernie.
I thought that was a really sweet thing of him.
I don't remember if you...
I don't know if you know that.
I don't know if you're old enough to know Bernie.
You ran for president in 2020 and 2016.
He's this Jewish guy.
Bernie?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, you know him.
I get your own old soul.
Bernie Sanders.
Yeah, Bernie Sanders.
You grew up Catholic in Asheville, North Carolina.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You were an altar boy.
What did you have to do for that?
You had to swing the incense?
Well, you start as the...
You step up in the game?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
An acolyte.
I think acolyte...
No, book bearer is the first one.
You bring the books up to the priest.
And that's like a little boy.
That's a young buck.
Young bull.
And then you got the acolyte.
That's big bro.
And then the cross bearer.
That's when you're on.
You worked your way up to cross?
Yeah.
I was one of the best altar servers of all time.
You didn't drop that shit once?
No, but I did put it on sideways.
You put the cross upside down?
Sideways.
Oh, okay.
This is like a square base.
And I put it down and then I sat down.
The cross was facing me.
Oh, my God.
You watch Club Shannon?
Club Shay Shay?
Yeah.
Yeah, this is Club Shay Shay.
That's what it feels like.
We're drinking yak right now?
This is going to be like the Cat Williams episode.
Yeah.
You're going to tell us about all the freak-offs you've been to?
Yeah.
You're going to tell us about...
Did they make you put on the dress?
Adam?
I'm sorry, dude.
There have been allegations that Jay Masekis from Dinosaur Jr.
has been putting boys like you on dresses.
I don't think we should be talking about that publicly.
Are you hyped that there's an American Pope?
An American Pope?
Yeah.
What are you talking about?
I'm not even Catholic.
I'm hyped on it.
It's good for America, dude.
Yeah.
I think it's more exciting that he's from Chicago for some reason.
Yeah.
Sufjan.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you think he's ever listened to Chief Keef?
The Pope?
Yeah, the Pope.
Certainly.
Most certainly.
I mean, maybe not intentionally, but...
Definitely out of a car.
He's been like, yeah.
What is this crap?
No, the Pope is cool.
We like him.
What's his...
Leo?
Yeah.
What is his old name, though?
Chris.
Chris?
I don't know.
You changed your name to MJ?
No.
Your name's Jake.
My middle name's Jacob.
Oh, what?
You were afraid of your first name?
Mohammed?
Sorry.
It's the most common name in the world.
Mark.
Mark.
Mark Jacob.
Oh, that's kind of fire.
But, yeah, when I started releasing music on the internet when I was in high
school, I thought
Jake just didn't sound good.
Yeah.
Sounded like a jock.
Jake Linderman?
Yeah.
No, it sounds like a kid that definitely has one thing on the wall and it's a
Pulp Fiction
poster.
Yeah.
That's my house, dude.
Goldman, yeah.
Yeah, and he's doing like, he's doing Vyvanse and watching NFL Red Zone.
Yeah.
That's a Jake Linderman look.
Yeah.
I don't know.
You think Sinead O'Connor would have been a good Pope, though?
She was mad at the Pope.
Yeah, I think she was, she's probably mad at the right things.
It was child abuse or abortion?
Either or.
Something like that.
Have you played in Ireland yet?
Yeah.
It's the best.
Best country.
I was telling a story on stage when we played in Ireland and I was talking
about the plane
ride over there and I said I was sitting around a bunch of slags.
Uh-huh.
I didn't know what that meant.
It's sluts.
Yeah.
It means hoes.
Yeah, I thought it meant something else.
What did you think about it?
Just like a bunch of.
You thought it was a racial slur?
No.
What did you think slag was?
I thought it was like, just like.
Like a lazy person.
Hooligans, you know?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Because these guys were like.
That's geezers.
They were drinking at like 10 a.m.
It's a bunch of kids.
They were going from Manchester to Ireland and my bass player was asleep on the
plane and
one of them was just like.
He smacked him in the head on the plane.
As a bit?
Yeah, he said, you good man?
He smacked him because he was sleeping?
Yeah, because he was asleep on a plane.
He doesn't know what his sleep is.
And this dude was drunk as hell.
Your great grandfather was a jazz guy?
Yeah.
Was it?
You never met Unc?
No, that's OG.
OG.
We never met this.
He passed away before I was born.
Was he like living hard kind of jazz guy?
He was like Heron kind of style?
No.
Yeah.
He played for that with the drums guy.
What's his name?
Gene Krupa.
Yeah.
It's cool that you can be a band leader and do drums.
Yeah.
Like, dude, wait.
Come on, dude.
Is this bad attitude wrong?
Before we hit play, he was like, oh my God, I'm so excited to do this.
You were like talking a mile a minute and then we hit play and you're like, I'm
fucking,
fuck the B2s.
I got the red light fever.
No, I know.
That's why you want this, right?
Yeah.
Let's do a shot.
Loosen me up.
We'll loosen you up.
I don't know.
Like, it sounds to me like you grew up in a family where like they were very
supportive
and like, did they go to gigs?
Our sets wouldn't start till like 11 p.m. because we're playing it.
You're playing like after your mom's bedtime?
Yeah, yeah.
But they were always very cool.
Like, uh, they never, they never, they never told me not to play a show or
something.
Did your mom criticize like what you were wearing?
She's like, you can wear something a little nicer.
That's what my mom said to me about stand-up.
Yeah, I remember going to school one morning.
She was like, you look like you just got your hair wet.
They don't know that that's cool.
And I was like, yeah, I just took a shower.
Oh, she's an idiot, your mom?
No.
Your mom's an idiot?
I, uh, she, she, she wants the best for me.
Are you going to be one that keeps it real?
You're going to be a North Carolina boy for, for life or?
I think so.
No, you saw my, I was wearing that coat last night.
You were like.
I did see the coat.
That was
