became the 1st the maiden voyage that's quite a thing to talk about since that flicks is now the loadstone of stand up comedy like h.b.o. used to be he was there 1st with his notorious special and russell currently has a podcast called culturally cancelled although he's anything but anybody who can do 30 countries across this world doing stand up but anyway you can look for culturally cancelled where you get your pod cast russell peter sorry my friends who are you dennis it's good to see you nice to see you you know i'm a member of the fact that stand up has turned into a. if boggles my mind we used to do it in a little clubs in our city then it would branch out to the city then the northeast corridor of our. country are better able to defer to the country's right so it's mind that dick i mean the great thing for guys like well for me and especially you before you were you did s.

and i'm sure you started in pittsburgh and then work your way out of pittsburgh a night same thing for me and i started in toronto and then you started doing surrounding cities yet you just keep expanding well listen toronto feels like the un compared pittsburgh i love my hometown but that was like the tiny bottle city of kandahar at super met we never thought we were going to get it the parts but you're on to at least there's a bit of a collective meeting place for the world so you had a little more savoir faire about it but when you go to these other countries russell. explain the process to me i remember billy did one in moscow years ago and they just invited american speaking people who comes not people who watch on the internet i write yeah it's little when i go to other countries money because i have comics going through it i'm the guy did saudi arabia meets you i did the base which when did you do or going to i did saudi arabia i didn't do the base i did the arab people i did saudis i was in the middle of the desert because they didn't they

didn't want the religious police to show up at the show so they how that literally in the middle of the desert it built the whole tent and then the men were on this side and women on this there was a big guy with the middle so it was interesting you know so when i go to other countries below us oh it's you i'm like no no actual jew or it's real group people doing it or. yeah that's what i would somebody say i was that did the burj khalifa lounge and stuff like that i think i did zain essentia kaga what they were hell's all this coming from now when you go there you must be they take their taboos seriously even in a secular muslim country what there are things clearly delineated before you go on stage about what you should the 3rd rails that you should avoid i mean you know when you're in any kind of kingdom you don't mention the royal family at all. not even in a complimentary manner don't mention them you just don't because somebody will misconstrue the tone with a look or whatever so you don't even bring it up so that number one is that and in

a muslim country don't mention islam that's it it's basically it will yeah and this sometimes led by thousands now to go when i started maybe they were just like the one of the princes brought me down and he was like hey can you not do too much sex. i'm not telling you not to do any good please and i'm like i got it worried. because you know nobody nobody really expects the world that's why we're. there is sex in the visible world over there then you get on the other side of the free door. there who you know he's a terrorist it's like everybody going behind the green door it's the real deal. la tell me about you being this isn't just breakdown 3 of the ones that i'd find interesting or 2 whatever you want to i'm just unsure get talked about saudi arabia it's obvious some of these other places you have on your had comedically what's

fascinating about them i love this is a comic. well so lebanon was really cool beirut so the interesting thing about beirut and lebanon is that. so when you go to places like dubai the u.a.e. or saudi arabia or. or kuwait or oman those countries are arab countries but they have a mix of people because they have a lot of workers going in from the philippines or dandiya and negate people from around the world come in and work lebannon is just lebanese people but they somehow loves me because i did jokes about arabs or whatever and so i still have this bitter 5000 seeds and i'm trying to talk about you know i talk about everybody and the pain it was blacks why it's this bad the other they didn't get it because they really they're so homogenized that they're like what are you talking there and who are these other people just talk about us we just want to hear about us we don't hear about the other and so i do an hour and

a bit. parable i walked offstage to go and they all clapped and when i get on stage like it was a look was good we loved it so much and i go why didn't you tell yourself that like i mean it was so funny when you did the indian people it was good and i'm like you don't react to it. with its chemical this is nothing exam we need to go to it. you know danny thomas never performed in 5 thought from such lebanese people at any one point in his life that's that's a rare glimpse what about anything over on the european garden or scandinavia what are there either oh yes candidate and a do or type of people who are they like a lot yes. i did croatia i did croatia lithuania and. there was another one that you've made to go wow that's so i think my start with a now is when i look at my phone i'll tell you what it was like this man i have completely wrapped me up. latvia was latvia it was going to be so i did

with him when he latvia in croatia now these places are full of lithuanians latvians and prohibitions and i'm like how do you know about me and it's like for 5000 people in these venue and they're and they're into it and i'm like wow do you know bob you know like the internet and i'm like well how do you get a list do it like it was already so then a one time i know a lot of the reason i did latvia because i was doing an interview like this and then somebody goes is there is there anything like. people get mad at you about after you shows and i'm like well yes some people get mad that i didn't talk about them and i very flippantly said and some guy gives a recipe to the latvian jokes and i'm like oh yeah i didn't know you were here i would have 20 minutes on when i said dash surpass the cleats and they were like yes 20 minutes on a regular day i mean a lot of bed. but not. you

know their minds me of the great old lenny bruce story russell where he said let it got to the point where is you know sometimes when somebody's so successful they begin to find their audience precious and they begin to take them when they swear such double tasered it came out of the village gate one night and they were so far out in that he said you know i could come out here at this point and just pull it out and he said in the front row i could do that for 2 weeks and there'd be a line around the block then in the beginning of the 3rd week i'd come out and i wouldn't do it and everybody would complain that lenny i want to see lenny last night he didn't. but it's. it is. now listen i got to tell you that's a seminal moment when the person that flex question right must be proud of that dream he has like crash davis and gold or i'm worried doesn't talk about the homerun record at them but the data 1st well that's very cool isn't it yeah but at

the time you didn't know like you did you listen when they approached me in 2012 about it i was like yeah i'd love to work with you guys because i had already bought my older specials i'm wearing the we're going to great numbers on these you want to want to do a special with you and i was sure and i'd be great if you want me to sell it so you know like no we're going to do it and we're going to give you this much and we're going to do like a documentary thing back following you in this and this and that is ok great and then i go through and and then what do i can i sell the d.v.d.'s or what no you can't so that he and i go well what i mean i mean you're going to air it i go can i at least just the d.v.d. that my show and i was really fixated on d.v.d.'s at a time in 2012 when now nobody even knows where he is anymore but at the time of them you know what about we're going to miss out on these d v d's. because at the time netflix was in the us canada and norway and they were about to expand to us truly. now they've obviously dominated the world but at

the time they were just in these very random countries and so i couldn't comprehend i was like well that's going to be nobody's going to see the special nobody you know he's going to know about now but. it was iran and mary you know what you were good to trust your bunyan on those d.v.d.'s of that because you memorized me at cosco you'd hear that backups beep beep beep they come out with a forklift loaded with 3 pallets of tom hanks is cast away i said to tom i said brother they're selling these things like beyond a lot cakes idea of a piece of this is that they don't open the d.v.d. books up that anybody had so it was a good good instinct the urge the want to get a taste of that because they printed money you know him mad man now now because you couldn't do that it is with you can somebody david you know we're going to do this so we give you my trick and i go i'm going to do with it i don't have a d.v.d. player. you've got to say. it's like asking your kid

if you can borrow a pen my kid a look at me like. what what what am i doing doing sanskriti here with the stylus no i don't have a head put it in your phone for god's sakes we're time going to russell peters like i said he's one of he has a crossed this planet's 300 shows in 30 different countries that absolutely boggles my mind when we come back on the other side we're going to talk to him about culturally cancel says podcast so what that's about i also want to pick his brain about russell peters christmas where i i see john love it's in the notes a half to any time i see it love it's a hot lead i have to pull on that thread will talk to russell right after this also growing up in indian lad in toronto is there is there such a thing as a killer curry poutine will ask russell peters right up to the sun dennis miller plus one.

of. the mainstream media swarming with falsehoods riddled with censorship and i'm sure corporate control you think evil of truly informing its audience it can't rise above the corrupt motives of those calling the shots when you awaken to this fact turns aren't see america where we dare to question. louis. it's the feeling of sleep every legal experience to get it on the old the old. the old according to gesture to each. come along for the.

loot could you source a story about the fact that delayed maxwell will likely take others down i guarantee you there's a lot more going on. in our nation's capital this is the news with rick sanchez and protesters who are not happy this is what we're going to drill down on right here on news direction tracks where we really do believe it's time to do news again. this type of american is doing very well but then there's these guys over here who aren't doing so well but if you drill down a look at the real numbers and especially the rent numbers right it's pretty bad there's people who are not paying the rent and say they're not going to be able to pay their rent for the foreseeable future. please.

a folks welcome back to dennis miller plus one we're joined by comedian extraordinary russell peters russell canadian comedian who got his start at the comedy clubs in toronto has branched out the world is his oyster he became the 1st comedian to do a netflix special and they currently has podcast called culturally canceled available where you get your podcast break the pod down from a r p. well. you know we're living in a time where but he scared what they're saying out in public and as i'm sure you in private with your friends and much like myself when i'm with my friends i was states on them i go could you imagine if somebody could hear a conversation right now we would be canceled so i basically have those same types of conversations in my back yard with my friends we smoke

a cigar we have some drinks and and we just talk the talk and there's no a malice involved and we're talking about anybody so i mean if you want to cancel list for being real people and talking about real things and that's on you that's not on us and the people who want to cancel you are never your fans they're never people that were in your corner to begin with so what is your sudden beef with us on this and so i want to get back to the times when freedom of speech was free. but you know russell it's odd because it's counterintuitive but one has to go back and. think george orwell was no street dahmus he always thought it would be the global left to something very and indeed 30 years ago. yet open mind of this which is always preached over there and now comes with a very close minded happy out. of it is it's very confusing but i don't think they see it or if they do see it that's even more frightening to me because they see it

and choose not to do anything about it which seems malevolent as a part of as opposed to misguided why it's this whole notion that. you know we need to be more tolerant but upon being more tolerant well if i'm telling you to be toned then i have to be tolerant of your installer it's just that's the way that worked or. you can't preach tolerance and not be tolerance. listen we've got mission creep over there and when it reaches the host of the bachelorette i would say we're somewhere near the pillars of hercules a spark distract the we're actually done any active discussion it's a it's a very odd time and i've never actually physically met a cancelled person i don't know if you have i've never met i think you see them online but you don't actually see a face and i think they're bots i think the russians do it. but i do

feel their plight sometimes people say things that if you're going to be in the public eye i get it there's you owe it to yourself to be smart enough to not compromise your rice ball with some 86 i see other people who have just done what anybody else does on any given day in many aspects of their life which is a little more rough and tumble than shot through the p.c. prism and they're over as far as a wager that that is a frightening promise to make it's a very weird and you know i'm starting to realize that this all is p.c. culture isn't coming from the outside as come from the inside because when i'm on the phone with networks or agencies or whatever they're the ones telling you what you can and cannot say it's not outside so the fact that the industry is actually doing this to us is scary because that's our industry and they're the ones the whole game. well listen you're obi wan kenobi was a great georgian of carla you go back and look at is stuff it reads like an a.p.

story for god's sake see a stranglehold on this 25 years ago you know he was he was also an author dumbass is what. he said a good use nasa not merge with. the jet purpose path russell i did i got lucky enough to was the 1st time i met him was in serrano in 92 when the blue jays had won the world series. one throw that at you and like and that have everybody rubbing. tell that till joe carter village mass and then they all walk off homer to when they get 7 i think carter was caves to x. but it rankled me a little but i'm happy for it. so i was 22 years old that was walking up and down young street everybody was already being and i was a smart kid i'd only been doing stand up for 3 years at the time and this old white

guy with a beard was walking towards me on the street and to be a small album i front of the woods or george carlin i just thought it was some homeless guy and he wanted guys are going to do it george because and then and i and i ran after him and i walked him back to his hotel and dust the whole way and completely fanboy it out and i said he maybe one day we'll work together because you never know get crazy but they might we might work on them. and then in 2000 ins 7 the dozen or 2008 he passed in 2008 right so 10 months before he passed he had just had a quadruple bypass and he was he was getting ready to get back up on stage and start working on his new set his new special and he was going to go to the comedy magic level to most the beats and richard called me and asked me because he knew i was a huge current guy as you want to be on the shows and i said yeah but i want to host the many so where he got it was the go can you move that host make of features on

because i want to be the guy to introduce them so he let me do that night i got emotional when i introduced which and started quivering and i was cried. i do something to correct that room man that when he like you when he 1st knew me i saw him in an aspen at that festival he looked across the room like that is like as i go we want canobie us to withstand the cross for me and he was just cool that's the thing about georgie was cool before cool well right after miles davis george was next in the door to be cool i think if you go to the stance of for guys like me even talking to you right now it's kind of the trip because i watched you i rented your v.h.s. is from the video store you specials and the back of it there and i would watch you on weekend update and my 1st deal you may not know this is my very 1st deal in hollywood was with your brother. it was with warner well where we are. now oh yeah

that was your editor you know my mother and i have similar rhythms that you know we do look different because my brothers lex luthor and i still got they you know what you patrick from the months are saying but by my brother i remember michael douglas called the ones from the venice film festival he said some walk around all day with this book. how are my shoulders is yappin a way of thinking how do i know that rhythm. i say are you that it's nothing it's brother he says yeah so. whenever i talk to people about like brother they always say 2 things they say god you guys have similar rhythms and he has that no b.s. that from pittsburgh i always admired my brother i know that he's a no-b.s. guy you know i am as well so i appreciate what i appreciated about him he was actually going to put the whole thing together for me one of my dearest friends is love it's i see him i've never seen russell peters christmas and how does love it started out to that he's not the the it

a sham to is he would tell me about love it's as a parents and that's. well i called him and he said all right but you have to pay me a lot of money. when i call when we talk to each other i just talk like him the whole going to go hello john. that's perfect. where you've been i have a $1000000.00 for you. i had i had loved. scott thompson in-phase unlovely the 3 wise men and i had pamela anderson play the virgin mary. it's an atheist group. but now this this i have the story in later tonight that's absolutely. call john certainly one of the more idiosyncratic senses of be aware of our encountered in my life i love get going i love the case of what is so awesome. he's

a guy that i don't question the. you're kidding me i know you do a lot of dialects i didn't know it it dipped into impressions and stuff like that who else could you knock off with a degree of a plumber i mean i just family guy. is you know almost that needed oh geez what was its weight good way to get. you know what was there congressman. peter deutsch just talking i want to. when you 1st find get in iraq when you said you were young and flippant a bit of a smile was that your trick and scolded to deduce in a different voice isn't that you know i used to you know i used to really use love it's at clubs to pick up chicks they like said oh you want to go out with me. and they will say i was malarious business or demonstrated they did much as i know . lovett's did not use love it's the clubs to pick up the chips. and

love it's couldn't you go against. the doctor money to give you if you. have to make sure it does not miss this episode we're talking to russell peters who does a killer robertson davies if you ever run into him at a cocktail party it up like that and he is a canadian comedian who now well he could perform anywhere in the world it would seem that he has a podcast called culturally cancelled and when he said he'd sit around with cronies in the backyard literally that's not a figurative way of speaking to some of the backyard right would you do it. yeah they love to come on i just i'm open monna see to us we'd have to work out the logistics i mean come into town in a long time since the andromeda strain hit but i'll come down do it gas sure you know it's not too bad and you know. now see beautiful it's

a bedroom community of sherman oaks folks for those of the uninitiated i would work with human heart beat you kidding me you you're one of the guys that shaped me as well you made me realize when i couldn't do what i would just tell ya me wearing that is i mean really that means listen to me because europe. you were. your command of the english language and your broader natural are always made to go well i'm never going to be able to do that so watch him and see what not to do because you're not going to be that guy you can i can i watch you you would always have your you're point of view and it would always be well we're researched and well and well backed for counter for counter punch isn't everything it was like watching a really good flight or so because i used to box it was like watching a guy who was like study to you and when he was going to have an argument or debate with you he knew what you were going to come with and he had some of the board every time well we can all do all we can do because i just played latvian brother

and we had to go to group on we got 3 guys and not yucks showing up so everybody's got their strength by the way the hardest punch ever as a boxer i got to go at bobby fluster hutton like corey that left still absolutely haunts me have you seen it lately bob foster the light heavyweight yeah go back and watch bob foster here and jerry corey jerry and mike correa fight bob foster and mohammed ali on a double card on the sports the 1st fight is bob foster versus jerry's younger brother mike just watch the punch next time we talk you look at it that's the hardest a human being can hit another yeoman. i was like jack johnson versus tommy burns when burns was a middleweight who banged really hard and it was an exhibition bout and they were like all right we're just going to touch each other and and birdies on opening and

hit jack and knocked him down and jack i'm so mad and when jack got up he had tommy so hard that he knocked all of his teeth out me where imbedded in johnson's clothes . so if you get a swift little little sleep you have to see him it's him so hard that tommy goes out he's out cold and always d. the gone from the roof and when johnson hits was already falls down too but he gets up you see him look at his glow and dust off the. i'm going on e bay and buy in that glove later after the show all right i pick that taxi russell peters next time we'll meet our friend tanya's place i'd love to break bread with you you're good cat has once again a pot that's there folks culturally cancel you can get it all fine podcast stops like you russell good talk to you thanks for having me my. dennis miller plus one.

'd i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories there are critics can't tell me you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth artie's able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there so the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the

dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working. why in the world if you think this is a positive idea for the united states. well i think you will play exactly the role that a good journalist ought to know why this had happened at this exact moment there's already so much instability within the middle east that this is probably just one of the many voices on television right now that have ties to those that benefit from boy or thanks to. me or my students earth's new question. number as stars and lists as the sea and bring all the insights

just death and. if dr. remains in question. lived. from the world headquarters of the r.t. america in our nation's capital this is the news with rick sanchez yes. everybody i'm rick sanchez and i want to welcome our viewers of all over the world including those of you who are watching us using your phones on the portable t.v. up imagine that using your phones to watch the news yes the future is here which is kind of ironic by the way because i want to start today with the past there are a few events in the world's history more important than world war 2 and few if any countries felt the brunt of that war more than russia in fact i want you to take a look down at this historic documentary that details.
