hey that is 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. 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 they were doing a botanical tourism around their driving and i'm thinking oh they're kind of letting the studies in and the tigers must not be out all the time came around it was like a playboy shoot for a tiger it sat there 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 enough with. the. if you go for a fling i hope i see that 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 it is. 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 people this way too many of us and our 1300000000 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 for my 1st visit and then just when i would like intellectual eyes that somebody would turn and give me the most beautiful 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. said this is a heartbreak and then

a little kid would pick looked at 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 much 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 and. wired ideas that you are what are your other produce to it was fun seo you were 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 yeah. 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 troubles 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. you know i know 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 one says to your privilege and you'll sense because you've had privilege for a while yes right now we kind of have blanket a fence or blanket nondefense because we're 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 over 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 be stalking us. you don't have time to whine about you know getting real life in your face again the sound of setting you with that know it's like i gotta find water it's food i got to figure this out so i love the 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 is my food now that puts fannies in the seats right it was tough to do because i'm young and i didn't want to go out with just 10 more personal stories because not enough it happened in my late. mother great. story autobiography. for a brother you get to live a little here without getting it it's the 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 right 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 of the wood right this universal idea of india and then a field like 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 find something in this show nice plan b. if. you like to find food and be with the one the basic ones now or like how you quantify things when you said 3 good 3 bad do you have a mathematician back there something you know i like how you go to subsets it's you know. i kind of took over a club and decided talking to people you know those shows where you do like 40

minutes of material but you hang around for like half an hour just going to hear what they want. and so it was just kind of crowd sourcing 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. you know we got a new government the past a couple of really stringent laws they shut down the internet in 6 cities impose 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 and then all of this needs to happen so that kind of became the struggle of the show saying can i can i weaponize nostalgia a little bit so that we can also talk about this culture that we're in now in

various i was poking i'm wondering who did you go to college in india urge you go over here where i waited waited until i went to the mecca of civilization as we know it galesburg illinois on the what is the underground railroad from mumbai galesburg illinois it's a tiny liberal arts college called knox college that is known for giving that lots of financial aid yet 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 tassel yes. but came to study economics wound up a drama student. were you near chicago got it's about 3 hours 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 1st to ever get into the big city and go to stuff a movie theater troupe yeah i thing like yeah i did steppenwolf 'd try to get an internship there failed and i was a busboy at the grand lux cafe on michigan azure of chicago and just getting up

open mikes. 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 gary when you guys are getting out figure out he said well you know malcolm bitch i was just a good at it what are the groovy seen when you're starting a theater company and you know 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 every 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. what where do you start doing comedy in mumbai is

are 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 you know down the line but i was there many aspirations when you're young when you're younger and i was just 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 year like a woman benetton. playing in one. un 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 i mean like that was it i would go. that route maybe that's the next special. i like tell you the 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 that. so who. some other people who influenced you said eddie who. he is from the u.k. i'm a big fan of 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 very unhappy and the only thing you have on the rest of the world is 3 more would be because everybody who 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 need to get some devoid am we got to work by 930 and 10 and we go we want to leave so you guys are just waking up earlier than the rest of us that's a miracle after the break very turn stance or some rapid fire questions get a little glimpse into. through our rorschach test stay right there.

do you believe in miracles would seem democrats do after the joe biden surged on super tuesday for them the fear of the bernie sanders candidate see may now be contained however this is far from over taking on trump no we seek out. this is a story of women and women with troubled histories and complex court cases you know some of us did really leave whole lives out there. who were not. the person that there's a cheesiness of the day are considered the most dangerous of criminals she's in a still. all day off 23 hours of the day tell me that it's not enough punishment it will do for women on death row. welcome back to dennis miller plus one my guest comedian raconteur. for douceur in

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 anybody is people aren't that mean to your face occasionally you'll meet a nutter but something about but men they get they get alone behind an alias you think. you have good words that mean side of us screwing would use more hogshead

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 loss i don't i can't follow it. now i feel bad about that because my son looks at me and i'll 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 a i just have some baffle chamber in my head but i am so busy catching up all the time that it doesn't flow from me like i said i don't denigrate it obviously striding into 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 they knew it was. 'd a bollywood just by the way and be shakespeare and it's all there you go that's a luxury you cannot live without. an attic strap 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 it will fly well. you know that's what i'm doing yeah 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 salvage your shower i have sat in that shower. run out of water with soap all over me time limit oh yeah 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 you once 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 i like that approach mister someone from history. that you would like to take to lunch oh good lord. i'm the 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 polish interaction.

with someone that is meaningful and that you remember tenuously to. and some part of the day soundtrack by laughter is good 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 what are your some of the countries you can go to i do netflix and that i didn't want to last till we did 34 countries it's kind of nice here yeah but what can you sell sounds like a couple not mean a lot of them i could you know it was nice to they could be an all is low on money on friday and they'd be like ok do you want to do like still vhong go on monday night and still bongos like you know it's a fishing village where there's one roundabout in the right to good to feel right. you know you're back to the days of the promoter calling up people going to sneeze

really good just come for free and it's 26 people have just heard even more of them 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 span to play in a small fishing town killing them in the middle of the set the. barn door slides open and somebody says this. is running. the floor those sort of shows they way that 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 carl and. 'd scott fully told me on whiskey cavalier we were shooting this i don't know if i can see it. you had the most cocked joke you know all right so the 2 canadians are 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 and the other guy's like well ok can you eat it and he's that yeah i guess you could eat it means that is a movie. 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 but 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 we do more than one at a time together if you desire i 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 section of what we couldn't 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 being in culture to the wood the white people lit up a leg 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. 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. 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 but 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 it was like saturday night live i get to friday and ron fournier afternoon i think enough whining and not being afraid to confront this you the show tomorrow night if you don't do this well 2 weeks in a row you've got so he shot up and right so i needed that you need to do. proximity to the event i need to print the post before if you don't think i'll design the

i don't trust medical authority at all ever and the reason for that is i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at like diet has nothing to do with autoimmune disorders so my suggestion to people who have health issues they can't figure out if they're going to see a medical professional and they've been going for 10 years and they're still in the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to start testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok to eat this over actual food it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and

as a parent. i can come up with arguments and there's a lot of conflict within the game and between the teams most of the conflict i would say over goals from morning and most of them is me. close one of the children's clothes t.v. movie children is good because the state of california alone makes 6000000000 clues that you have to present company just to get some point in your life where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about you so you don't care mind anything.

a great many cities in between on april 1st many of them more than $40000000.00 who wrote rent homes and apartments the united states are taking part in rent strikes with hashtag rent strike trending social media pages have been filled with pictures of strikers hanging white sheets from their windows and showing their neighborhood then the world that they will not be paying rent during this time of crisis casey james out of atlanta who is advocating and organizing that no $1.00 pay rent until the pandemic ends something's up pretty simply to the washington post stating it's not fair.
