straight up steve austin season 2 plan that's made it to season 2 mondays at 11 pm on the usa network and this the s m a while mr austin how are you my friend man i'm doing great i appreciate you having me oh no it's been a long term sab see you in person that blonde time listen brother i have to give you thanks as a north texas university you know i'm a pittsburgh boy thank you for gifted us with joe greene who arguably the greatest i don't know there's been lawrence taylor there's a few but you've got to put joe greene on the mount rushmore deep sense of place did you play the line there steve where ya heard enough to play d. line like joe green did or what did you play you know i went there is a linebacker dennis a number but me on a kickoff coverage i'm a junior season so i really had the rest of the season and i started oh next year and week sad defense of him so i was known to be latin and go back to mean joe

green i was such a pittsburgh fan back in the day i was you know only guy in texas it's a bird stealer so we sure you know are not my favorite team now. but unload the steelers now because they were thumping on the cowboys back then all of a cat have played a bank really but you know what steve it what i remember in pittsburgh 3 years we had been the laughingstock of the leg and then they drafted this cat numb thing and north texas i don't even know that university and then in the 1st game my man was head up on the center and he just tilted at a 45 an air hole big cat in the backfield i thought i think the whole template has just changed right there you know and he changed the whole direction of that team right. absolutely well obviously as i said one of the mt rushmore of defensive players as you are in wrestling my friend will get to wrestling in

a 2nd but i want to talk about straight up with steve austin not i find it at some point he's interview things if you have him to map out your kind of dead in the lottery it's still to it gets disappointing it gets weird for better or for worse you have to fall 'd back into and see if you can talk to people if you can and it's a fun job if you can't you're probably better off not doing it what's your approach to just talkin people knew know it said or saying the way you phrased it and set it up as our gri you know i'm one who you want to be well studied or research but by the same token if you just don't buy the script how fun is that our game ik you know sometimes that word is used too much but or what is that so either a combination of the 2 where you can just sit there and have a downer or genuine b.s. session with someone learn about them or they come from where they're going what they overcame and you know shine a light on a bit have

a true conversation or is not like the detail oriented thing that you know anybody could do and hopefully you know step to some type of relationship with these people and you have some chemistry and it comes through the t.v. screen. yeah you could always tell in an interview if in the latter half of that it's more an evil chat than it was in the 1st half you have established some bond and they're willing to for lack of a better word perform one of those trust exercises with the at least conversationally if right up front they sense you're just dance instructor arthur murray putting footprints down on the floor and teaching them the cha cha then they sit in the whole latter half of the interview just turns into a right if you're going to samba i'm going to samba here is my standard retorts dude and i love the way you phrased your whole career for a lot forever so you know you the way you phrase it is the way it is i agree that thank you now i enjoy the twist here though i know that i've had interviews over

the course of my career minnie of them earlier when you sort of needed the publicity more and people would say that like spend a few days with i always thought well listen i want to i want to be chatty here but i am don't know about that because then eventually the veil falls and they get the see maybe things that you're not willing to share with people at large but i do agree that something about getting people just out of you and them sitting across looking into each other's face and grilling. is a good thing and i like your ear approach where you guys go to different cities across america i'm sure that's been skewed right now because a covet but i dig that thing where it's sort of like a roadie it's you're out there with you know dr gonzo in ralph steadman on the road no benchley a chatman it becomes more open right where you know there's owed something in vogue like i've always prided myself and been able to drive anything the will is and i'm

sometimes the series of drive anything i want or and so when you take a test like that which i mean or some adrenaline factor to that and then i was to do an activity whether it's through an axe or darts or whatever and then. there's also a challenge in there but it's all for fun and it's all about you know the show and having fun with them yeah it's a little bit different so it's it's a little it's not like your standard and there's nothing wrong with a standard talk show because i've grown up watching but you know this is a little bit different because when you have those activities and you know i'm an ad lib guy i don't like to remember anything so this plays right into my hands and this message maybe works for me. you know it's steve you know you're my me of a lot as my dear friend jay leno because he too loves his cars and a lot of the drive he he used to say to me i'd go to jay did 225 gigs last year why

do you do it. if i do it every night i don't have to write it that hour which always made me laugh but he also had that worry where he would just he was this rule thankful you know he has a i find it rob not someone their yacht in which jay was i find them interesting chats i think they're they're out there in their bibble overalls working on their cars under a flashlight late at night and they sort of develop their own personality and later in life i find that they're less needy with the approbation of other people and i kind of like that where you are right now when you're young man you know growing up my 1st car was a 71 pontiac formula firebird and he was either that or my grandmother's subaru and that firebird. and i had to do you have a woman her own bracket. who had a whole car universe bracketed their brother so i've always been a car fan i continue to be this day and in building this last car that i've been

building which has a 74 camaro z 28 i've had so many headaches hassles and everything that go with it i'm just like. i'm done doing miss but then i'm going through instagram on all the different channels and a follower all cars and trucks and things are going to build one of those so i guess i'm a poor man's jay leno are in let's get back to straight up with steve austin you can see what the man's made of hair and i think it'll make for a good chat at doesn't always have to be the out banquet table or no coward sometimes just click here regular chats stuck in a funny convivial manner and i see some of these guests that i can see the i'm not the only one who finds this intoxicating season to guess i'll just skip brett farve who i always day and i'll betcha he did it out of mississippi writes the he doesn't like to come out of the bubble and i wanted to go to mississippi because i always like workin in the south so it was a match made in heaven. and tell me about what i think about

a cat playing that many games that are on in my screwed up here did he play close to 300. back it boggles the mind what a what an absolute beastie was you know it true and i was wondering ok man how is this guy going to be after having this kind of careers as you go beyond it is going to be a little irgun sad because of allah success i walked up to medium you know before like i do before we start to show and. it's like you know him that they had i'm a we headed off like that good we're almost the same age i watched his whole career i played football about football junkie and he's one of the goats so what could go wrong you know were out there doing something of like minded guys would do and he was an absolute blast and a real hoebel guy and salt of the earth the kind of people you will know what it does when he was the man he had to portray the man and the man was not humble

because it's some point you gotta be the guy now that he's in the dotage i use that term loosely but he's not the man anymore aarons the man i see him increasingly give it up to aaron as being one of the greatest quarterbacks ever and that gives me goosebumps when there was a young kid he looked at and thought this guy could take my job of course he's going to fight like a bandit the keep it but now later in life i see him given it up it's a very classy circle of life sort of thing right you know and i think you know when you're caught up in the trenches and you still have that competition zone you know you just don't throw too much praise at a guy but as your camp away from the game it's ok to start he met bruce because you've already been there you've done it you're not trying to do it again and hey the kids are also doing a hell of a job so why not now when you know what. it is i think as the school cycle the way it should go. when you got out rather when you say did had you obviously 6 times

debbie the world champ but had you left it all in there did you feel like you'd gotten all the juice you were going to get out of it no you know because i got dropped on my head long story short i came back at a next usia and i retired up pull myself out of the game at 38 years of age i retired and that's young for professional wrestler i had i had you know 5 years left in a gas tank not withstanding the mc injury so that was really hard for me to do so i took a lot for me to understand you know alan why i had to leave the business and it took me a long time to deal with it come to grips with it but yeah man but know when to look back you know how to get them to watch us guys and girls go out there and know it at a high level lab listen you were smart enough to get out when you got out that man you can't screw around with your neck i always would say to my kids when they're young and they'd like kids where i go next up next your neck gets

broken brother you've got to get out or you're it's a struggle and you know not everybody could be the by the way the undertaker retires more frequently than streisand frets every time i see these retire in the next in dhabi undertaken again my madness is he's playing the long game over there is that 8 i think he's finally done they had a match at this past russell mania because of kobe did you know today didn't have the crowd so they had a match that was kind of cinematically through to him and got it a.j. styles and it was phenomenal and i think he got the last one out of the system family and i think he's good with the r word retirement and he'll go on to do something else at a much more relaxed pace but i think he's finally done dennis and he's happy. on the other side of it i want to talk we'll talk more about the show because some of the other guests this year unbelievable straight up with steve austin but i want to

do want to talk about the pro wrestling rambo and want to give you an unlikely thought from just a fad i am of the hardest part of that you think you'd be going off your back from the top rope we put off the block with spit in your head and possibly risking your neck i think there's an even harder part and we'll talk about it after the break with one of the greatest who ever did it 6 times the world champion as you can see a good cat steve austin right after this and then a similar question. joining me everything on the alec simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

i got this 8 millimeter film purely by accident. time period 963 to 65 place damascus. i was old don't know why young. i've watched it many times a man posing the monuments and all poster of the hollywood premiere of town without pity and a fight in a minute though with bruises. i had my doubts if i should waste my time on this but i came back to that film over and over again tracing a sequence of events happening in syria at that time and most of those who worked there alone would have reviewed. the crown in which you'll see no deal curiosity is

like a perpetual motion machine it lives on without a lunch break and then suddenly i saw him stop let's take another look now at low speed this is key like 0 on a super spy who some consider a national hero and others an evil villain an israeli double o. 7. because it's but it's them and they at the. at the one. still. 50. on this edition of crossfire we have to look at translate to see as president of the united states as our politics are so divided we shouldn't be surprised if there are multiple legacies depending on how you view trump there also can be no doubt he changed america and the president.

the war in syria has lasted longer than. world war 2. who has been suffering the most in this almost a decade long conflict regular syrian people. need is more than a minute wait a minute here she delivered the slain us to my kids eat everything with my own ice and here into stories of its residents one group in particular russian lines of syrian man the hospital. they even let the students look up to his national just like it's. a folks welcome back to dennis miller plus one we're joined by steve austin you know months. obviously inducted into the that be a debbie hall effect 2009 he's the host of straight up with steve austin season at

the 2 airs mondays at 11 pm on a good a great network i think usa networks obviously up there at any time i checked cable writings. seems like it's the top network or one of the top 3 certainly and so he's got a good home over there at the usa network mondays 11 pm est i'm torn here i want to let's wrap the show up 1st because i want to talk more about the show of sell the so clear a little this guest list in the 2nd season unbelievably talked about brett farve obviously we know where it's going to go charlotte flare we're going to talks wrestling but then i see you've got country musician luke columns joel mchale who is a gas steve who i've interviewed and i don't know the woman tiffany have is but tell me about some of these other guests were to go with some of them and who didn't joy and tell me about it i enjoyed all of a you know dennis and everybody's got a different story but typically hadash is just lights up funny stand up comedian.

cowboy movie last year and she's like one of the hottest properties on olive olive wood and she's one of most charismatic people i've ever met you can actually feel it coming off of her and i've only met a few people i got in my entire life and she's one of them when you said you talk to steve oh right. yeah i talk to steve on i you can see listen and you can only be in there in the ocean with too many alligators while you've got spam on your growing area before you get wisdom my man seems localizer now you know that message thing about it i mean all the stuff you know like when jessica years ago it was a thing and this kind of lend up about the time i was really hot and there was a method to all the madness and then it kind of went to a dark place and then when you talk to steve oh you would never think that this is a highly intelligent human being just a coolest guy in the world and i would have never guessed that when i was watching

that years ago us are going to get as out of his mind that he's so down earth and cool it was just unbelievable and joe mchale is a triple threat right because he can act he can host he can do stand up he's quick as lightning. you know he can do it all ice-t. you know women are just you know because i read the cat walked on as a tight end at a pac 10 school play ball i'm a single it's my mom who did it and when you're going to an ice tea if you have disguised the one question man meghan you're sitting under a learning tree he's got he grew up so hard and it went to the army he got so many stories it's unbelievable how you keep going on and on but i think everybody here was bess and you know we went to nashville to do lou combs come from the country music center and he's on fire right now and i'm such a country music fan and i said dude we're told we're going to go mud or go in full

grab and what who and that's what we did that kid is a man consecutive number one hits i remember when albums here's the hottest thing in music now is over to cast your i just love it bird cries you're gonna know who up. that's such a cool way of put it i remember one says that in new orleans state we're talking to steve austin and. we were out one of those flat boats and my man took me down this waterway and then he hung a left up over the mud and we went into this primordial forest and i thought ben there is a whole world out there if you have the right vehicle that you can be privy to that you had no idea that existed right what do you go modern in our t.v. or what is it one of the. you know it's going to sound about a sad utility vehicle it was a counter zaki carrick's $1000.00 and man we ripped it up and. we will drive the chute and i told him oh so dude i said i would hope you're afraid to get

muddy he goes out and so i go you are going to really. go there's too much dirt thrown now days folks stick to the mud let's leave it at that and i think that's what steve's doing over there on straight up with steve austin season 2 airs mondays 11 pm on the usa network let's go back and talk the squared circle my friend you know the thing that i'm amazed that by wrestling i used to take my kids when they were young down to the pond i forget what it's called now don and orange county they used to wrestle don there i remember meeting rey mysterio was so sweet to my boys that later on in life he had some travails and it broke my heart i found the guys to be super nice backstage but the thing the blew my mind i referred to this in the 1st segment the travel the getting yourself there the hard nights man maybe 2 to 50 that actually seems to

me to be the hardest part of wrestling even even the stuff in the rain must be glorious to get to after that the schlapp. you know it is dennis to travel as the grand and i always tell people you're live and 3 lives and one body man i want to have your truck driver as you grab and you know majority of time to all your pride you know these days these days guys used to tour buses but you're on the road you grab it and then you're traded and you're working like a professional athlete and then and some cases your party like a rockstar so you're burning the candle at 3 s. so the road and all those bumps night after night after night boy they sure add up and you can you can you can retire rode hard put up what if you're not careful. that's ah there's an old willie nelson the ladder you know what when i was doing comedy when i was young we used to get in the time we were eager beavers and we do the schlep but then again i didn't have to run the ring that night things or does

everybody know the drill at some point no you know that's a big dennis you know back in today you called everything in the rang and it was ad libbed you did something and based on the response you got meant crowd that then you go home your next decision you know to love it it's just you ward off that is like me to stand up you throw some out there oh it ain't workin let me go here and you're manipulating that crowd now it's kind of you know like a hypothesis the way everything in television is kind of sped up now you may get a chance to talk to each other a little bit but still you know the action is the action but you don't you know practice you know a big wrestle mania or some lag ok but night in night out a man who's my dance partner what are we going to do and you just go out there and you dance and that's that's the reality of it now your nose or what you knows the waiter but it's a day and you go out there you dance to a different too. you know what i find interesting steve is that when i was young

and you know i want to sound like the old man in the sea here but i picked spirit when we were kids we really didn't know if bruno was going to beat george steele the secret was less revealed that nowadays i almost feel restless like grand violent opera in a way people kind of know that there's a through lied and that seems as i said my son an ardent fan he loves the story set almost as much as he loves the match tell me give me some of the jargon what is the story set called is it called the promo or something or what a little amused you know is who just a story line or your angle and you know like you know if you work in and you know you're the good guy and i'm the bad guy well one of us is we're both trying to win so there's a competition but you know you do something across me your emotions on the bad guy let's just say traditional i do so been a screw you over and you low sure but most amounts of personal issues so

a story as you shoot and you cost me a when i'm mad at you. 2 guys can 2 guys or 2 teams can play and you can care about the winona loss but when you really care about that individual as a character because you know them and they have resonated with you and so you love them or you are. then you buy and that's where all the storytelling comes in and you know the marriage is great but if you have people invested in those 2 characters you might as well just watch you know a nobody oh game with the true character is going to show that with no emotion you want as much emotion of the crowd as you can get that's what still sticks and that's what draws ratings emotions we're talking to steve austin now leading a more sedate but nonetheless interesting life a straight up steve austin house season 2 airs mondays at 11. on the usa network i'm trying to think when you talk about those laws miles driven and obviously

everything's changed people are adding all streams now on stuff like that the top end but the guys the middle class they're still out there bust the net who did you like to drive solo or just don't like to drive alone who is your roadie who did you dig meet in the ring give me some of your personal glimpses of cats who meant something to you out for your trip stay in a minima getting yours you know it's a car full of guys and you know i was lucky to rado ride with some of the reparations and bookers and you know when you're young in a business 3rd they're dropping knowledge knowing you better soak it up like a sponge because they're giving you the keys and you've got to absorb it understand it and apply it and then you start go and you get it with a group of guys because you know now that you're learning now you know but to make no money you need more people in a car to pay for all the gas in the room so your palm guys and hotel rooms when you finally make it i'm naturally a little will mcquade guy anyway so that's when you start training tournaments solo

because you can afford it and you want to be away from everybody so you can have your peace of mind and get away from all. well suppose you tell a cat likes wrestling in movies when instead of saying i'm a loner he says i'm a lone wolf mcquade. bet as i had knowledge there were. hey you know steve i was thinking and as i talked i said who does this cat remind me of and he would be a perfect guess you must the chap in him up somewhere or or maybe even had him on in season one but mike rowe from dirty jobs do you know mike no i've never met him but i'm a man i don't think he's pretty. good people stevie you would absolutely love him and i would love to hear you to chat it up because you're very similar cats that just regular guys who like busting their ass and having fun along the way yada yada look him up and i will and. listen brother i'm

available do you get this coven thing behind you will ride the streets of pittsburgh and i'll show you where channel 11 was where they had studio wrestling hosted by chile billy carter billy when i was young and well it's aka of talks of wrestling and like i said we will talk hopefully on the show straight up with steve austin season 2 airs mondays at 11 pm on the usa network i knew this was going to be fun i remember thinking this been the easiest interview i do this this month because cats like this easy to talk to good guys funny guys and it's been a blast my friend it's nice to meet you state as nice a sig new and proceeded to help me spread the word about the show and a good friend for many years so keep up the work. thank you brother. we will we'll see you on the next dennis miller plus what.

i can show you my face but i'm going to tell you my story in 9093 this man was sentenced to death. they get charged with capital murder even though he didn't have the gun didn't pull the trigger didn't intend to kill anybody imagine living in your bathroom for that week with his son of a $23.00. i doubt that i'll be very. very. confined within 4 gray walls p. 5 it's using. turn on to help him to leave this room. seemed wrong call just don't call. yet to shape

out just the. ticket and in gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. talk about a word that means different things to different people depending on. the

president you don't merely. obliteration of your nemesis republicans accuse democrats of attempting to cancel the us president and claim their vote to impeach him was more about revenge than justice this is after donald trump becomes the 1st u.s. leader to suffer the indignity twice. vandalized then torched hundreds of rioters set a brussels police station on fire after an african immigrant dies in custody. and greece calls on the.
