11:31 pm
they folks welcome to dennis miller plus one and were joined by comedian russell peters to the show today he's a canadian commute in got his start at the comedy clubs in toronto and in 2013 he became the 1st the maiden voyage that's quite a thing to talk about since that flicks is now the butt 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 much. more you dennis 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 little clubs in our city and then it would branch out to the city than the northeast corridor of our. country are better
11:32 pm
able to defer to the country's russell of the mind that day i mean the great thing for guys like well for me i'm especially you before you were you did s. and now mr you started in pittsburgh and then we're here way out of pittsburgh a night same thing for me and i started in 09 you started doing surrounding cities you know if 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 met we never thought we were going to get it the parts but toronto at least there's 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 you know it's later when i go to other countries because i have comics going through it i'm the guy did saudi arabia meets you i did the base
11:33 pm
which one did you do we're going to i did saudi arabia i didn't do the base i did the aaron people i did the 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 held it literally in the middle of the desert they built the whole tent and then the men were on this side and women on this and the 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 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 when 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
11:34 pm
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 that 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 the distance now you go when i decided 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 freak door. there who you know his or her ex it's like everybody oh you know when the green door it's the real deal. well
11:35 pm
tell me about you being 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 you talked about saudi arabia it's obvious some of these other places you have on your had comedically what's fascinating but i love this is a. 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. kuwait or oman those countries are arab countries but they have a mix of people because they have a lot of workers come in from the philippines and negate people from around the world come in and work but lebannon is just lebanese people but they somehow loves me because i did jokes about arabs or whatever and so i still had this bitter 5000 seats and i'm trying to talk about you know i talk about everybody so the pain it was blacks why this that the other they didn't get it because they really there's
11:36 pm
a homogenised that they like what are you talking there and who are these other people just talk about us we just want to hear about us not only here but the other and so i do an hour and a bit her parable i walked offstage to go and they all clapped and when i got on stage like it was a little as 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 like this is nothing in town we need to go to it. you know danny thomas never performed and 5 thought from the lebanese people at any one point his life that 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 yes. i did croatia i did croatia lithuania and.
11:37 pm
there was another one that you made to go out so i think my star really now is going to look at my phone they'll tell you what it was like this man i have a couple you're right we are. latvia was latvia it was let it be so i did with the when he latvia in croatia now these places are full of lithuania and latvians and prohibitions and i'm like how do you go about and it's like for 5000 people in these venue and they're and they're into it what do you know about me you know like the internet and i'm like well how do you get a list you know it like it was already so that 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 or 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 that some guy gives a recipe to do any latvian jokes and i'm like oh yeah i did know you were here i
11:38 pm
would have 20 minutes on when i said asked sarcastically and they were like yes 20 minutes on a regular day i mean all of this meant. i had nothing but nothing. you know that reminds me of the great old lenny bruce story russell where he said let me 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 he swore such dubbo taze that it 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 and 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. because. now listen i got to tell you that's
11:39 pm
a seminal moment doing the 1st netflix that's right must be proud of that i mean you know it's 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 they had already bought my older specials and were in the 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 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 and this and this and that is it 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 you could d.s. and i go what i mean i mean you're going to air it i go can i at least just go d.v.d.'s at 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 no what about we're going to miss out on these d.v.d.'s or because at the time
11:40 pm
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 that special nobody nobody going to know about now but. what was i going to narry 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 and tom hanks is cast away i said at the time i said brother they're selling these things like beyond a lot cakes idea of a pretty so there's these and they don't open the d.v.d. books up that anybody had so that was a good good instinct the urge to want to get a taste of that because they printed money oh yeah bagmen now now if you could do
11:41 pm
what you give somebody a d.v.d. now we're going to do this so you give me an excerpt of michael i'm going to do with it i don't have a d.v.d. player. yeah. it's like asking your kid if you can borrow pen my kid to look at me like. what what what am i did doing sanskrit here with the stylus no i don't have a head put it on 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 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 this podcast see what that's about i also want to pick his brain about russell peters christmas where i i see jon lovett's in the no softer and each time i see 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 such a thing as
11:42 pm
a killer curry protein well ask russell peters right up to the sun dennis miller plus one. you guys i made a professional is power point showing how artsy america it's good for the greater media landscape. laughter all right we are a solid alternative to the bullshit we don't see you liberal or conservative and as you can see it is bar graph you the facts either talking at lefties talking at righties oh there you go above it all is a look at world r.t. america is in the spotlight briefly and i have no idea how to classify it as what actually took me way more time and i care to a min. our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that lurk fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most deluded
11:43 pm
society on politics as a species of endless and needless political theater politicians have morphed into celebrity are 2 ruling parties are in reality one party to corporate power and those who attempt to puncture this vast breathless universe of fake news designed to push through the cruelty and exploitation that would be a little more hard for so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we might as well be mice squeaking against an avalanche plus we must. an ocean of stories even the news with nelly can overwhelm the. could even
11:44 pm
as your way i know you want it all so let me bring in the best. it's easy just. play. folks welcome back to dennis miller plus want more joined by comedian extraordinary russell peters russell canadian comedian who got his start at the comedy clubs in toronto's bradstock the world is his oyster he became the 1st comedian to do a netflix special they currently us podcast called culturally canceled available where you get your podcast break the pod down from a arctic well i you know we're living in a time everybody's scared what they're saying in public and as i'm sure you in
11:45 pm
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 a malice 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 who want to cancel you are never your friends 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 3. but you know russell it's odd because it's counterintuitive but one has to go back and. think george orwell was no strict damas he always thought it would be the global left to to some degree and indeed 30 years ago. yet open
11:46 pm
mind to this which is always preached over there and now comes with a very close minded kept me out. of it as 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. well 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 installer it's just best when i want 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
11:47 pm
a very odd time and i've never actually physically met a cancel person. i don't know if you have but never met them you see them online but you don't actually see of faces 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 e.u. shit you owe it to yourself to be smart enough to not compromise your rice ball with some idiocy 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. prison 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 this p.c. culture isn't coming from the outside 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
11:48 pm
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 here obi wan kenobi was a great georgian of carlin you go back and look at is stuff it reads like an a.p. story for god's sakes he had a stranglehold on this 25 years ago you know he was he was also an author dumbass is what. he should or could you pass out merge gone it's. the jakarta's 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 thrown out at you and i. and that heavy eyed everybody rubbing were insensitive all that till joe carter billick massad then they only walk off homer to win the game 7 i think
11:49 pm
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 with a beard was walking towards me on the street and to be a small album i front of his cancer george carlin i just thought it was some homeless guy and he wanted pastor behave in georgia goes and then and i'm 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 kid crazy because monday night we might work to find them. and in 2000 ins have been to do those empty 2008 he passed in 2008 right so 10 months before he passed he had just had
11:50 pm
a quadruple bypass and he was he was getting ready to get back up on stage and start working out 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 mini so where he got it was like oh 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 my chin started quivering and i was cried. i do something to that room that when he was like you when he 1st knew me i saw that in an aspect of that festival he looked across the rail at life is like. like oh we want canobie it. was standing across from me and he was just cool that's the thing about georgie was cool before cole well right after miles davis george was next in the door to be cool i think. you know you go to the stance of for guys like me even

11:52 pm
