miller here we got comedian vere das today the preeminent funny mad my estimation in india now in the states coming up next dennis miller plus what. if folks welcome to dennis miller plus one you caught me at mid shot and i've got to be clear throated here since i'm with a pro joined today by comedian vere does now there's a great name for a james bond dops vir das here is an indian stand up best known for his netflix comedy specials and his roles on shows like a.b.c.'s whisky cavalier and the amazon prime series this is the interesting one to me they're all good but i love this idea just a nation unknown he recently released his 3rd netflix special fear dos for india

and it's available to stream are as they say in india to ganges right now beer welcome to the show think we're having the. i worry from an indie i just went for my 1st time where's your home i'm from mumbai so it is the greatest city in india did you go to mumbai i went to poor and then i went to a uyghur camp in russia war and yes did you see it would you believe it i think they were kind of they were doing a botanical tourism around their driving and i'm thinking oh they're kind of letting us down easy in the tigers must not be out all the time came around it was like a playboy shoot for a tiger it sat it lay it on it but it was there they were disguised being in dollars and when to show up 40 minutes i was unbelievable it was so funny to me beer because after 40 minutes with enough with. the. you go for

a fling or hope for a secretary there's only 1000 of you in the world but i've had enough well the special for india brag on india for me brother. 3 good things 3 bad things we do that. are going to be the 3rd largest economy in the world soon largest working population under 30 on the planet and prettiest girls in the world so that's 3 tops. best government right now would be down $1300000000.00 people this is way too many of us and out of $1300000000.00 people you only see like 6 on american t.v. so there's 3 downsides to what i can tell you that i saw the good in the bad in one in one microcosm because i would see simultaneous heartbreak things which shatter me from my 1st visit and then just when i would like intellectual eyes that somebody would turn given almost be a to fix smile and i remember saying wow this is the human condition in one photograph it's sensory overload isn't it it's yeah the la times i thought i don't

know if i could do this just in traffic and bam and people coming up and it's this is a heartbreak and then a little bit with me and he he seems so i don't know it is the human condition up close and personal yeah friend yeah when you i love the just the nation project because you want to cross to india right to find out what made people just and what you have all found so we have out your findings dr di it's so the show's really simple it's 3 comics go to a place that has never seen stand up before you know 72 hours to set up a show find a venue mark at the show but also write jokes about what you're doing. and so it's just a high octane injection of culture and then throwing that up into the jokes that on really very good you know so it's really like an open mike night for new jokes but on a on a big streaming platform but other that isn't. byard idea is that you were one of

your other produced and it was fun. writing a camel in the desert doing the day and then writing jokes about that at 4 pm so that they can go up at 8 pm it's like a travelogue meets the improv. now what did you find out about people by and large are people as easily offended as i sometimes assume they are in india it seems where they have some serious travails facing them are they more amenable to a joke here and i mean i think this is reasonably an unpopular point of view but i think getting offended is the privilege of the privileged. in india we just got privilege like last week so there's no new ones who are in it you know i know i'm corny but i do that out of inability of any that's such a perceptive take that you know that's a thoughtful manner you guys have a new onces to your privilege and you'll sense because you've had privilege for white us right now we kind of have blanket a fence or blanket nondefense because we just kind of becoming the country you know

and coming into our own is a privilege country so we're either offended it everything just to be safe because we don't want to look on clinton's old we're just offended you know i've always thought here once when you're when you're in sub-saharan africa and you're sharing a mud hole with a will to be stoic if. you don't have time to whine about you know you've got real life in your face again. setting you up that no it's like i gotta find water to get some food i got to figure this out so i love that take on it here and now i know more now i know more about you as a comedian because that's such a smart take and brother i love the fact that you're in on 3 specials with netflix because that is the sweet spot right now this is your 3rd it's my food now that puts fannies in the seats right stuff to do because i'm young and i didn't want to go out with just 10 stories because not enough it happened in my late. mother. only autobiography it's right it's. very frightening you get to live a little here without. you know it's there are still shows called for india because

it's actually the feel of the show because i was like ok i'm going to put my culture out. i'm going to do this this format where i'm like i'm going to tell you 4 things about my country 3 for you one just for me so here are 4 movies that you need to watch or for items you need to eat or for dark days in our history for great days for indian monuments so you can take indian culture out to the world right this universal idea of india and then a field hard 2 weeks into writing that you know because there's 1300000000 different versions of india and i'd never find one and so that kind of became the show where i'm like hey this is no one india but hopefully i can kind of mix this up enough where you'll find something in this show nice plan b. if. you like to fight for and be with the world the basic ones now or like how you quantify things when you said 3 good 3 bad d. of a mathematician back there something you know i like how you go to subsets it's you

know. i kind of took over club and decided talking to people you know those shows where you do like 40 minutes of material but you'll hang around for like half an hour and just kind of hear what they want and so it was just kind of crowdsourcing material saying hey what's your movie or like you know if a guy's coming over from another country or india what's the 1st thing you're feeding him you know and that kind of became the show and then the weirdest thing is you know it took 8 months to put the show together and the country changed drastically really you don't and in those interests you know we got a new government the past a couple of really stringent laws they shut down the internet in 6 cities the imposed like emergency rule in like 10 cities and so then you're kind of saying i need to put some of this into this show but i started out writing jokes about frivolous movies yes. all of this needs to happen so that kind of became the

struggle of the show saying can i can i weaponize nostalgie a little bit so that we can also talk about this culture that when it's not there you're so well spoken i'm wondering who did you go to college in india urge you go over here where i waited ready to go should i went to the mecca of civilization as we know it galesburg illinois you know what is the underground railroad from mumbai galesburg illinois it's a tiny liberal arts college called knox college that is known for giving i do lots of financially so india knows about this place even if america doesn't because they give you like 95 percent. it just changed my life again you know ellis island with tassels. but came to study economics wound up a drama student. what were you near chicago going to say about me i was out like beyond peoria and it's just a cornfield maytag factory college right like you know and good people welcome to america yeah really good people in the heartland plus did you ever get into the big

city and go to stuff a movie theater troupe yeah i think i did steppenwolf try to get an internship there failed and i was a busboy at the grand lux cafe on michigan azure. and just getting up open mikes whenever i could best food in the world chicago linea grant achatz my favorite restaurant and i just was talking i did a gig over the weekend with gary sinise who found a nice steppenwolf who is a captain dave. looked at him and i said to him who had showed up at the beginning garry when you guys are getting out figure out he said well you know malcolm bitch i was just a good at it what a groovy cd when you're starting a theater company and you can which your name john. wow so bollywood's biggest stars of economic con and he just bought the rights to forrest gump and he's been trying to get this movie for 20 straight since it came out and so he's finally making the bollywood bosun of fathers and literally myself and ever. the actor

called up and we're like who's playing lieutenant dan character and i want to get in there and it's a woman. yeah yeah. what would you start doing comedy in mumbai is there close to me tell me about that or did you not even think about it till you got here i didn't think about it till i got here like final you of drama school. so it was yeah but i was there many aspirations when you're young when you're younger and i was just 'd a fan so i was like a. movie i was watching that stuff i grew up in africa in nigeria so that's who you found on television and so i was just watching the specials another you like a better time. playing in one. u.n. security council you don't with a lot less money so finally the drama school that i wrote like 60 minutes to stand up was a show called brown men can't hump just because there's a movie like. that did me like that was it i would go. that route maybe that's the next special. i like tell you the trappings you

think are so interesting i could tell your funny cap and i like that the tinsel you hang off the tree is that a good idea for foreman. so who are some other people who influence you said eddie who. he is from the u.k. i'm a big fan because he kind of makes it look like he just made it all up and i like that in a comic. dignity leaning. right. i think suppose the best he's ever been just. going to talk about owning it right now i love that there are some cats just stepping up bill burr you know dave and just say hey i can play the sonny or you guys do what you have to i'm going to speak my mind like it or don't like i think i come from this is the one area where being in india you get to come from a better place than you get to come from and i explain that in that if you're

offended a joke in india i get to say so. so what you know offense is never given it's take i didn't come here to give offense you took offense but i'm offended by potholes in the road and pollution and that so much of my country is under the poverty line and there's danger towards women and there's no internet intensities boohoo about you joke you know and you kind of get to do that where i come down and you've got the rhino skin you know the natural you know hard times over them i saw some cats chiseling marble statues and they didn't have the breath later on and all that and i just drove by that i thought you know that we have turned into such a whiny spineless culture in a way over here and it does come from the fact that we've got it made and watch that catches on and i think brother you breathe in that in all that's going to i got to see this on the flip side like i think it kind of dawned on me this morning and whenever i come here i kind of figured out why america is the most successful

country on the planet and it's not because you guys are skilled more than anybody else who equally skilled everybody else and you equally educated you go just wake up in the morning it's a very unhappy and the only thing you have on the rest of the world is 3 more would be because everybody here weeks up really all his emotions that it brother it's not your lawyer joe you know there is a lynch joke for the next special it's over i mean 1st meeting today was at 7 30 in the morning and i mean i had to get up at 6 nobody in india get some void am we get to work by 930 and 10 and we go we won't leave so you guys are just waking up earlier than the rest of us that's america after the break very turn stance or some rapid fire questions get a little glimpse into. through our rorschach test stay right there.

a rorschach test if you put a few quick answers see what makes tick something or someone who inspires you. obama yeah because great book and great ability to take so can stand she didn't sign up and make them amazing i've seen her speak about her father it always brings me to tears where her father worked 2 jobs and yet she talks about being a young girl who meets someone around 6 o'clock for a lapse for an hour before he goes out the door again and i always find the most charming story that she gets you get so she gets simultaneously misty and that big beautiful smile and you know if you like that she's more qualified than the president of the united states. you know that's a tough gig but writing about it i judge people after they get in because before they get in i often think i don't know how they do yeah imagine that that you talk about getting up early rather i think that you're on the clock there all day you

know any time they kick your door in and for inside pakistan. you know you've got a lot on your head something we should all be paying more attention to. a life without social media yeah detox from social media and finding ways to be kind outside of social media i think social media has become the new medium for kindness and unkindness and both of them don't call most more and kind yeah it's the anonymity that you see people with tend to windshields pick their nose on the freeway yeah i always think they don't think the world can see that and you take that to the nth degree and you have social media people say things that i swear to god i'm out in the world like nettie but it is people aren't that mean to your face occasionally you'll meet another something about but men they get they get alone behind an alias you think. you know but words that mean side of us screw in movies more hogshead and shakes my o's you know kind would there you go guilty pleasure.

mel brooks movies young frankenstein any time of day and any good deed that stranded on a desert island what 3 things do you want to bring with you mr of your boat. evolving wilson. notebook so i can write about this it's going to be 10 minutes of stand up at some point a satellite phone and i do just like drinking cider so. even even being lost at sea provides one with fodder for your homework. and i just love that you said a minute so you would even come back with i'd have a nice chunk this is my i almost died in the middle of the pacific on that i do it tuesday night. at the lottery 3. something on your bucket list. would you like to teach some. econ shakespeare yeah you know

because i kind of got into drama school to teach shakespearean in stand up happening cetera and i was promised i'd get back to that one so you know i feel so bereft to my last i don't i can't follow it. now i feel bad about that because my son looks at me and say well you know let's watch hamlet or something and i'll say you know so i can't follow it and also you kidding me because i'm not and i just have some baffled chamber in my head but i am so busy catching up all the time that it doesn't flow for me like i said i don't denigrate it obviously striding in the theater ever i mean this is the argument that he wrote every single movie before it happened every single movie is some form of big deal there. 'd is a bollywood just by the way and be shakespeare and it's all there you go that's a luxury you cannot live without. attics traffic ok i'm going to trip for 2 years now and i don't recommend this to anybody but me and my wife are

doing this where we don't spend on possessions anymore but food music travel books and experiences so spend any amount on those but we're not buying like a louis vuitton bag that we go so will fly well. you know that's what i'm doing you know i just came back from a trip and i got to the end and it was in sri lanka and then i connected in the what's the dubai and i got on treating myself as and i'm so exhausted it was a month through i got on emirates. full of i don't even know i've had the same car for years but i'm telling you what i'm beat and you can get out of playing and feel like you're in your own little room if you ever try to have their own shower and leave until you can schedule a shower i have sat in that shower. well i've run out of water with soap all over me time limit on right in minutes and then i've cleaned the entire shallow 'd which is a strange grounding experience for your 1st time ever that somebody bought you

a ticket you're the height of all of us and yet you're cleaning up after yourself but my point is if you're going to see it like i saw the book of mormon. and good seats and sometimes when you take a vacation you won't buy good c.s. because you're busy buying the jeans of the other sneakers or the you know but good see i like that approach mister someone from history that you would like to take to lunch oh good lord. i'm going to world war 2 buff. so this is probably hung but a nazi just can't understand and people have sent us to understand how you can be misled that just you know and lastly my friend your idea of a perfect day my idea of a perfect day is. a personal interaction.

would someone that is meaningful in that you remember tenuously to. in some part of the day soundtrack by laughter is a good thing before we get into our social media questions i have to ask you since nigeria india the states can you play outside the country and sell tickets are where what are your some of the countries you can go to i do netflix and i did a world tour last year we did yeah we did 34 countries it's got a nice year yeah but what can you sell from like a cup no i mean a lot of them i could you know it was nice to they could be in oslo on mon on friday and they'd be like ok do you want to do like still on monday nights and still bongos like you know it's a fishing village where there's one round about in the very big with the feet or you know. your back to the days the promoter calling up people going to sneeze really good and discomfort free and it's 26 people have just heard even more time and she's what

a trip but you remember those shows more you know what i mean sure there's no safety net no there used to be a comedian in new york being glen her she always did the best show career spanned it play in a small fishing town killing them in the middle of the set the. barn door slides open and somebody says. is running. the floor those sort of shows they were there you got some social media questions for you real chris scott on twitter. what's the funniest joke you have heard that you didn't write for yourself and stop to put comics on the spot with a joke put it out of karl and. 'd scott foley told me on whiskey cavalier we were shooting this i don't i can see if. you had the moose cocked joke you know all right so the 2 canadians in a coffee and they're going to play i spy right so the guy thinks of moose cock and he's like i have one you can ask your questions the other guy's like well ok can

you eat it and he's that i guess you could eat it means that is a moose. and i'm going to like it i love when jokes like that not only are you settling in for a longer joke you know when somebody sets up the sequence of questions they go ok i've got a couple minutes here yeah right away when they come back with the the it's so funny james dean and or on twitter did you shoot more than one performance what did you. on your specials and you do more than one at a time together if you desire i directed this one. because it's you know it's seated there's no stage it's just a door with 3 steps and guys right here so it's kind of like a more intimate special in that sense but the lighting was tough because i had i mean i had a a section of what we put in bombay and i give them their own special section which

hasn't happened in a long time in history but every time i was explaining some part of indian culture to the wood the white people lit up in like red light so that you knew i was talking to the rest of the world and. then when we went back it was regular lighting so i did shoot 2 performances just because we had to get the lighting right on the white because that's basically what this trotter casts this little. special by the way is vir dos for india netflix special available to stream now jael barton on twitter of you ever read back to jack to take out a politically incorrect joke we talk. there are some that are just suicide oh no i must admit when i write jokes now there are certain things i'll get up against and i'll think i'm not going to fight that fight there might be a new wants to the job but i'm out there trying to please could never and i don't need to get into some sort of. contention with the people who try to please so there are times i'll sell fetid harsh harsh ah 2304 on twitter some of these names

how many days did you finally take to write this special how do you finalize a joke well i guess they're talking about your process i started writing it in april of this you wrote for 2 and a half months stored for 6 months and then shot it so can you sit down and force yourself to write or do you have to find i had to get a little scared i had to buttress up i need to do this with ok i'm past the point i got to start and that resolve you like right book the venue and then you know that it's on the clock and i think right now and then it was like saturday night live i get to friday and ron fournier afternoon i think enough whining and off being afraid to confront this you that show tomorrow night if you don't do this well 2 weeks in a row you've got some heat up in right so i needed that you need the proximity to the event i need to print the post before you know if they've got a design in the post you know put it up somewhere that means we're going to see. you looking back at judo if you it's time to be you all right i want to thank your

dogs for joining me today every time i talk to comedians i'm proud to be a comic because they always have insight they also have a schwab to be but i find it talks a k. is news net flix special beer das for india currently streaming on netflix and i will see you next time on dennis miller plus one thank you my friend thank you so good to meet you brother. the world is driven by a dream shaped by the curse of those great. new
