I remember seeing when you did the Yogi Bear audition, right?
That was the biggest thing.
And I was so jealous.
I remember seeing like, man, this guy, he's just so...
It's for Allison Jones, I think you did it for.
Was that right?
Yeah, totally.
But that...
Go ahead.
Because you did a special audition, right?
You did a special audition where this is what I heard.
This is just from, okay, this guy found a bear somewhere
and got to go out and went and did a special audition
next to a very dangerous bear and got a really good take
and submitted that as the audition and said,
I should be a part of this.
So the truth is I went and I auditioned
because I thought it would be funny to be in Yogi Bear 3D
because it would be a funny stand-up credit, right?
And it would just be silly to do that.
And then I found out Anna Faris was going to be in it
and I was like, oh my God, that would be amazing
because she's like one of my comedy idols.
And then I went and I did the audition with Allison Jones.
It went well.
And then I went and I bought a Ranger hat as a joke
and I went in and I was like,
hey, I just wanted to let you guys know,
I brought my own Ranger hat
and I was just wondering if I could use it.
I don't have to, but it was $19.99
and I can't return it.
I can exchange it for something else,
but I bought it for the audition
and they were kind of like, yeah, that's fine, man.
I was like, great.
It was so ridiculous.
So I go in there and I put on the hat
and they say, say your name in Slate.
You know, the poor kid in the casting assistant
that's got the camera.
Say your name in Slate.
And my joke with that is I'm always like,
TJ Miller auditioning for the role of Yogi Bear 3D.
I'm six foot three,
but when I act, I crouch.
So I'm six foot two.
And then they're like, okay, we're ready.
And then I go, I'm sorry,
can I just stop you guys real quick?
And this poor casting assistant,
I go, can I just ask you something?
How much headroom do I have?
Because I'm going to be doing a lot of hat work.
So if you can give me sort of enough,
so think of it less as headroom and more hat room.
So how much hat room do I have?
And this kid's like, I mean,
I don't know about this much.
And I was like, yeah, but I can't.
That's smaller to me than it is to you
because you're far away.
So just tell me when to stop.
And I was like, and he's like,
he's like, no, no, stop before there.
I was like, can you give, can you give me this?
What about here?
Okay.
Cause I'm going to be doing kind of like,
woo, woo, you know, like,
and kind of a, that sort of stuff.
So do I have room to do that?
And this kid's like, yeah, sure.
So then I did the audition,
but they're already cracking up.
So now you've already got a lot of humor going
before the audition's already started.
Now we've broken the eyes and gotten,
so then Alison texted me actually after the audition.
She was like, you know, they're,
you're their first choice.
And I think this is,
you're going to get good news tomorrow.
And I was like,
tell them that I want to submit supplemental materials
to give them a better idea of what I would do with the part.
She was like, I don't think you need to.
And I was like, yeah, but I have this great idea.
So then I did.
I went, I rented a bear at the Hollywood Animal Ranch.
That's so risky, I feel like.
And then I made it, sent it to them.
And yeah, but it was a joke.
The whole thing is a joke.
Right, I get it.
But still, as a, as an, as somebody that auditions and stuff,
that would feel like suck to a regular person.
Yeah.
With a full lobe.
Yeah.
That would feel, TJ.
Full lobe in it.
Yeah, that would feel like such a,
because you're like already have like,
I'm just be like, I'm going to know another card.
I'm just three quarter lobe in it, guys.
And, and yeah, I wasn't full lobe in it.
No way.
And so I, I sent them this audition.
Cause you got to think about it.
If I've already gotten it and then I make a funny video,
like that's not going to hurt the situation.
So I sent it and they watched it.
And I thought it was so funny.
And they sent it all the way up to Alan Horn,
who was the head of the studio at the time.
Jewish guy or not?
He, I don't, I'm not sure.
But I think I met him.
He, uh.
Horn?
He, he goes, yeah, he's been,
I think he's the head of,
he was the head of Warner Brothers.
And now he's the head of, um,
he's that he's, he's involved in Disney somehow.
And he, um, he never laughs at anything.
And he watched this and he didn't laugh,
but he was like, we should, we should hire this kid.
He's really, really funny.
And, um, I said, well, yeah, he was,
he was our first choice.
So I did that movie.
Yeah.
In 2010.
And that's the film that right afterwards,
my, actually, while I was in the film,
my brain hemorrhaged just slightly.
Fuck yeah.
And I started to go actually insane,
like clinically insane.
Cause there was just too much blood in my brain.
And then when I came back afterwards,
I was in like a really crazy state.
And I, um, uh, that's when I had the seizures, plural,
and went to the hospital.
And they were like, we need to operate on your brain.
Yogi Bear 3D brings it all around full circle.
That's amazing, bro.
You know what's crazy is my sister can't even read.
But what does it have to do with us right now?
Hope you enjoyed that video.
And you can watch another.
And you can watch this one.
You can watch this one.
Different options, different choices.
Some guy just brings you one option.
Not this guy.
Two options.
Watch one.
This one or this one.
