6:31 pm
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 young denis it's good to see you nice to see you you know i remember 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 and then it would branch out to the city then the northeast corridor of our. country i better able to defer to countries russell is mind that that i mean the great thing for guys like well for me i'm especially you
6:32 pm
before you were you did s. now mr you started in pittsburgh and then were your way out of pittsburgh a night same thing for me and i started in 09 you started doing surrounding cities yet you just keep expanding well listen tronto feels like the un compared pittsburgh i love my hometown but that was like the tiny bottle city of kandahar at super vet we never thought we were going to get it the parts but you're onto at least as a bit of a collective meeting place for the world so you had a little more sabloff air 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 live when i go to other countries because i have comics coming through and i'm the guy did saudi arabia again we do it at the base which one did you do we're going to i did saudi arabia i didn't do the base i did the year with arab people i did saudis i was in the middle of the desert because they
6:33 pm
didn't they didn't want the religious police to show up at the show so they held it literally in the middle of the desert it built the whole tents 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 real people doing. yeah that's what i would somebody say i was that did the burj khalifa lounge and stuff like that you think i did zany sencha kaga what the hell were hells all this coming from now when you go there and i see they take their taboos seriously even in a secular muslim country where 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 world family at all. not even in a complimentary manner don't mention them you just don't because because somebody will misconstrue the tone or the look or whatever so you don't even bring it up so
6:34 pm
they're number one is that and in a muslim country don't mention islam that's it it's basically it will now and then sometimes when i was in saudi to go when i started maybe they were just like the one of the princes brought me down he was like hey can you not do too much sex. i'm not telling you not to do any but please and i'm like i got it don't worry. 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 obviously are it's like everybody oh yeah well i'm the green door it's the real deal. well tell me about give me in this isn't just break down 3 of the ones that i'd find interesting or 2 whatever you want to i'm just intrigued to talk about saudi
6:35 pm
arabia it's obvious some of these other places you hang your hat comedically what's fascinating but i love this is a movie. 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 from and then you get 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 seats and i'm trying to talk about you know i talk about everybody in the pain i was lax why is this that 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
6:36 pm
a bit. parable i walked offstage to go and they all clapped and when i get on stage like those 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. but it's kind of. this is nothing in town we need to go do it. you know danny thomas never performed in 5 thought from the lebanese people at any one point his life that's that's a rare glimpse what about anything over on the european garden or scandinavia what are there either candidate and a do or type of people who are they like a lot because. i did croatia i did croatia lithuania and. there was another one that you made me go wow that's so i think my star really now is well let me look at my phone i'll tell you what it was like this man i had a couple you're right we are. latvia was latvia it was let me so i
6:37 pm
did with him when he latvia and croatia now these places are full of lithuanians latvians and croatians and i'm like how do you know about me and it's like before 5000 people in these venue and they're and they're into it like wow do you know about me you know like the internet and i'm like well how do you know the latest you know it like it was already so that one time the letter of the reason they did latvia because i was doing an interview like this and then somebody goes is there or is there anything like. people get mad at you about after you shows and i'm like well you know some people get mad that i didn't talk about them and i very flippantly said that some guy gives a recipe to do any latvian jokes and i don't like oh yeah i did know you were here i would have 20 minutes on when i said that sarcastically and they were like yes 20 minutes on a regular day i missed a lot of bed. but not. you
6:38 pm
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 the. lead he swore such double tasered he came out of the village gate one night and they were so forbidding 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. getting answers. now listen i got to tell you that's a seminal moment doing the person that flex natural right must be proud of that i mean it's like crash davis and gold or i'm worried doesn't talk about the right record at them that to be the 1st one that's very cool isn't it yeah but at the
6:39 pm
time you didn't know like you did you listen when they approached me 2012 about it i was like yeah i'd love to work with you guys because they had already bought my older specials and were airing the go we're going to great numbers on these you want to want to do a special with you and i was sure they'd be great if you want me to sell it so you know i know we're going to do it and we're going to give you this much i'm going to do like a documentary thing back following you in this and this and that of the ok great 1st 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 you could tease and i go 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
6:40 pm
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 this special nobody nobody going to know about mitt. what was i going to marry 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 hear that back up side 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 of cakes idea of a piece of this is that they don't open the d.v.d. books up that anybody had so that was a good good instinct the urge the want to get a taste of that because they printed money you know you're bag man now now because you couldn't do that you could use what you give somebody d.v.d. now because we're going to do this so we give you a micro i'm going to do with it i'm going to be like. you've got to.
6:41 pm
it's like asking your kid if you can borrow pen my kid a look at me like. what what what am i doing doing sanscrit here with the stylus no i don't put it on your phone for god's sakes we're talking to russell peters like i said he's one of he has a crossed this planet 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 see 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 softer and each time i see love it's a hot lead i have to pull on that thread will clark russell right after this also growing up an indian lad in toronto is there is there such a thing as a killer curry poutine we'll ask russell peters right up to the sun dennis miller plus one.

6:44 pm
hey folks welcome back to dennis miller plus want we're joined by comedian extraordinary russell peters russell canadian comedian who got his start at the comedy clubs in toronto as brad start 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 our pick well i you know we're living in a time everybody scared of 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 always say to 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 backyard with my friends we smoke a cigar we have some drinks and we just talk it's free talk and there's no amount
6:45 pm
of us involved when we're talking about anybody so i mean if you want to cancel us for being real people and talking about real things and that's on you that's not on us and the people that 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 strict dahmus he always thought it would be the global left to to some degree and indeed 30 years ago. yet open mind to this which is always preached over there and now comes with a very close minded. it's a bit 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
6:46 pm
it which seems malevolent as a part of as opposed to misguided. or it's this whole notion. you know we need to be more tolerant but upon being more trying we're well if i'm telling you to be toned then i have to be tolerant of your insults it's just that's the way that we're to. preach tolerance and not be tolerant 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 wretched 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 them i think you see them online but you don't actually see a face and i think they're bots i think the russians are doing it. but i do
6:47 pm
feel their plight sometimes people say things that if you're going to be in the public eye i get it there's e.u. shit you owe it to yourself to be smart enough to not compromise your rice ball with somebody sick 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 out it's 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 carlin you go back and look at is stuff it reads like an a.p.
6:48 pm
story for god's sake see a stranglehold on this 25 years ago you know he was he was also enough to dumbass is what. he said a good use ross now merged with you on it's. the dick purpose pat russell i did i got lucky enough to was the 1st time i met him was in serato in 92 when the blue jays had won the world series one throw that at you and i. and that heavy i heard everybody rapping insensitive of that til joe carter billy mass had been the only walk off homer to when dave gave 7 i think carter was gave sticks but it rankled me a little but i'm happy for you. 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 standup 3 years at the time and this old white guy
6:49 pm
with a beard was walking towards me on the street and to be a small album my front of his coat would suggest carlin i just thought it was some homeless guy and he walked past me go hey to george's and then and i'm and i ran after him and i walked him back to his hotel and gus the whole way and completely fanboy it out and i said he maybe one day we'll work together because you never know kid crazy and they might we might work on them. and in 2000 inns have been 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 out his new set for his new special and he was going to go to the comedy magic level or most of beats and richard called me and asked me because he knew i was a huge carly guy as you want to be on the shows and i said yeah but i want to host of and he said where he got it was like oh can you move that host make of features
6:50 pm
on because i want to be the guy to introduce him so he let me do that night i got emotional when he introduced me chin started quivering and i was cried. i do something on this or it's that room that when he was like you when he 1st knew me i saw that and then asked but at that festival he looked across the rail at like that is like as i go we want canobie it. was standing across from a and he was just cool that's the thing about george it was cool before cole well right after miles davis george was next in the door to be cool i think. you know you going to stand so for guys like me even talking to you right now is 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 my very 1st deal in hollywood was with your brother. it was with warner well there were. no yeah
