closer to the epicenter, the global center point now of the big coin revolution. hey folks. next up on dennis feller plus one, adam rodriguez, i guess the 1st time i see him as i the n nice 10 year run on c s i. miami was crusoe than he does on to criminal minds for 4 years. it's got a new project on h b o, right now it's an augmented reality series called finding magic mike. he was in those films and that well, he'll explain it to us on dennisville or plus $130.00 . a folks welcome to dennis miller plus one. happy to welcome actor adam rodriguez to the show. adam of course, best known for his role as eric delco and c. s i. miami. got to pick his brain

about caruso to see what that was, but also started criminal minds. sion $2.00 oh $16.00 til 2, o 2, o those procedurals are money in the bag for actors man. what a good gig that is. he also start and very popular magic mike films alongside chatting tatum and how funny was because a hand, the 1st one got it shorter and he is currently hosting the augmented reality series . finding magic mike, inspired by the films currently streaming on h. b o max. i saw a picture of he and his brides are about the handsomest couple on the planet. adam rodriguez was shaken. brother, your world, man. i'm just done it for a little while. listen, brother, we'll, let's talk about the show right off the bat. yeah. because this is going to be a huge hit, i can imagine, i think that it's, it's funny you can come to this in various ways. you can come to it from a kitchen perspective. but i always think these cats, this is

a way station for them. these young dances, they must kind of know that it's a leaping off point. it's kind of an interesting dynamic. it can be a shallow as you want or it can be is, let's find the back story is you want, i think you know, that then it's, i mean that's exactly what it is. i mean, look, the kid should be the sexy you. well, is the draw that's the bait to get people in. but the show, i mean, yes, it ends up being a jumping off point for all of these guys that come participate and the show itself is so much more than it appears from the outside. i think that was the draw with the movies as well. i think people, you know, you expect to show up and you see these cookie characters doing of all things, you know, male stripping, which from the outside, kind of hard to, to understand or respect that as a profession. and then like everything else that, that's good are, and i think you just realized there are people like everybody else and there's, there's something about them you can relate to. and they might even have a message. and i think we did that with the reality show as well. feel great about

the way it turned out. so here magic mike and you probably showed up here to see make it and you're not going to be disappoint. they just might not all be the naked menu. imagine they would be research the country to find guys would feel like they lost their magic. we want to help them find it. i don't feel like the main character my life anymore. i'm kind of here to rediscover and my own masculinity with now that i'm out of my marriage, i start finding who i truly am. so part of that line is being comfortable, being less wanting a lot less. want to be honest. i go to the 1st one because a soda berg and i'm say, i know what it's about. i'm not doing that. i'm from another planet. i walk in. i have, i thought, so i got to see his take on some that you think you're going to waste time on something. it's got to be, you know, it's gotta be something there. and it was very cold chatting with so earnest and he had the blue color was which i think it would be a mom was. and i remember being good, you know, kind of, hey, just drop the,

how there is, there is a beautiful performance and it was a beautiful performance. and it was it that kicked off an interesting time of his career because matthew had taken some time off to, to lay low. and he sort of reemerged with that character and then followed with a bunch of movies afterwards, like dallas buyers club. and i mean, i mean, just obviously went to another, another dimension i was in the room, brother was everybody supportive. what did you guys have fun? did you live here? i'm trying to think how the vibe is when you get all these alphas together. was a cool, it's a great question. it couldn't have been cooler. i mean, you know, looked at the different types of outputs. you get in the room with guys and they're the ones that pretend to be out. and they've got to, you know, dominate a space in a way that makes everybody feel uncomfortable, even even themselves, even though they're hiding it. and then you get the office that are comfortable enough with themselves to be in any room and not feel like it's about competition.

but about owning their own space. and fortunately that was the kind of room we had . and that's why we did a sequel, i mean, and we all look forward to doing the c will for that reason because we enjoy hanging out together. and i think that comes across on screen well as i knew there was great comments to be had in the 2nd. well, i like that. it's a reason why you do a 2nd one as well, but well listen, it show business. so business folks as a sort of in the 3rd one, right. as matthew, coming back, i don't know. i don't think matthews coming back as far as i know none of the original cast is going to come back except for chan. there's going to be a new crop of guys, a brand new story, and they're going to go to places that we haven't gone before. you know, now tell me about these cats are coming in. they have to be rip, been on the h. b, o shows what i'm saying or i'm trying to figure out how you play this. you were just joking to an alpha male that they're all different sizes,

but people don't go to see the shows to watch dawn, not come out. so you got a sport the other. well, no, all of the guys are not in incredible shape. i mean, they, all, they all showed up as they were and so with no more miles to go than others. but, you know, with the show really wasn't about finding the next magic mike, it was really about using the, you know, the, the, most of the brand, if you will, and, and helping to transform some lives through that. and we have some guys that come in and are there and then in great shape, they look like what you would expect to see. and then we've got some guys that are completely on the other end of the spectrum. you know, the don not by the, you know, the heavier type, all the personality that i think is going to be easy for people to become engaged with it, to be routing for. and you see that the hard work that these guys put into this was,

i'd say the show, you know, in terms of them getting ready was more like a prep for the movies that we went through. which was choreographed, dance rehearsals, and getting, getting your body and shape and getting your mind in shape in a way to. ready to give a performance, and that's really what we were we were doing with these guys. and along the way their lives changed. they learned things about themselves that they, that they had never known before. and some of them were able to revisit a place that they felt they might have once existed in where they were. they had some magic and you know, a lot of that had to do with the nurturing environment we created for them. i, i was a mentor on the show, and that was, that was really the title that i wanted to put around that because it wasn't about necessarily hosting. it was really about being a guide and using the things i learned in my experience doing the 2 movies to. ready shed some light on what there was to be gained from this process for the guys are good synopsis. i'm sure people were watching that would make me want to watch because i was wondering what approach are they going to take to?

this isn't just gymnastics, but it sounds like there's a back story to we're talking about the new finding magic mike, inspired by the films, it's on h b max, listen one thing, i would say this, the main swing thought as a saying go off of this gig is you better step up there and have confidence in it? and i really mean confidence in any sort of measurable. i'm talking about stepping up and look like i know what i'm doing. i'm going to have fun with come along for the ride because if you go up there whole thing, lee, nobody wants to be in the crowd. you on what? why did you get up if you're not going to steer into this kid, brother, what are you doing? 100 percent and just to step up there and have any level of competence, you gotta, you gotta be some serious preparation. i, you know, before you throw caution to the wind. well, you got to feel like you, at least, you know, had some level of preparation. and we had an incredible choreography team. the same choreography team that actually did both of the movies or a choreographer. and you know, they just, they,

they really helped get these guys in the kind of shape that they needed to be in to get up there and do what they did with any level of competence. it's amazing ma'am . and really the show is, is so much more uplifting and heartwarming than people imagine. and that's the part i love most about it is that people are going to show up because they have 11 thing in their mind about what magic mike is and the show just hits them with. with so much more, i love seeing people's reaction to grad, you're proud of it, brother. i'm sure it's going to get a big tune in and then you've got to deliver the goods and it sounds like you've, you find the code on it. the people need to see, they don't, they're not going to tune in for 6 weeks just to watch guys auto for late themselves. you know, just not going to happen at some point when they vendor had through their legs and come up looking. they got to have some inner wisdom. they speak or nobody's good. yes. somebody got really good. yeah. you know, a great body and you know,

is only going to hold attention, but for so long now, listen, brother, you are a puerto rican hoops. what i was a kid, he's about my age, but she li, out of my cat was the man. there was a cat. you probably don't know because he's older than you, but there was a cat play for mark cat point guard puerto rican butch lee. he had a beautiful handled brother. i remember he was lighted up for al mcguire. were you who for one year? yeah. no, i mean i did i play hoops like everybody else, but baseball was my good. yeah. it was baseball. i was hoping that was going to be my ticket and had a few injuries back to back, broke a bone in my back and then tore my rotator cuff. you know, to see what one steve, one season after the other had those things happen. and i had to re evaluate and figure out what the next step for me was going to because i never really considered my charleston acting, presented itself in a funny way. and it just struck

a chord with me. and i realized that that was what i wanted to go after a brutal deal though, when the dream gets turned on, you know, how badly that baseball player out of puerto rico thing plays. and i have a friend who plays for the giant. she played center field for a while name, steven dugger. he comes up, kids got a can and he runs like a gazelle. he's pretty good and he's got an eye stick power wise, but he jumped say, i'm thinking after all he went through to get to the show. he dives back in the 2nd and he missed judges. it tweaks his shoulder blows that and then he's out for 5 months. a kid comes in your strength, he's grandson or whatever plays well and he's got the position now it is a long trip. and when they 1st tell you it might not be happening. brother, it's, it's heartbreaking right. it is a heartbreaker and you know, the only thing you can do is go inside of yourself and do some digging. and you've got to re evaluate it and find a find something new to put that time and attention and love into and it is listed

. it's like anything else if you've ever been in a relationship and it crashes and burns there's, there's that period that you've got to go through. there's no avoiding it where you got a heel and you've got to come out the other side better for now. you know, this is, this is what life's about. and usually you do that work. you find something that's every bit as meaningful, if not more, you know, and it's just her, oh, got to let it go, sometimes go. i understand. it's a learn from it. and i think you said something very wise there folks, they always tell you, enjoy the journey. yeah. but keep this in mind. the journey is switch back trails you are going to have to, you're gonna have to be nimble because one day you think it's all happened. and then the next day, when you get hit with the stick, and that's where you chevy in your own cause. how do you deal with that? stick across the sky at room. i mean only you can do it. nobody can do it or nobody's going to do it for you. adam rodriguez with us. when we come back, we'll talk more. i got the augmented reality series finding magic mike,

inspired by the films currently streaming on hbo, macs will talk about him starting out. i 1st clock do i think i want everything worked with a non healer? nothing. not don henley, but who's the other cracked from the eagles who acted on there for a while on? oh, that was my am if i sorry, i've lost my mind. yeah. eric delco on ts. i'm i am. i'm going to pick his brain about korea. glenn, i am revised good friday. yeah, i got a good. thank you for salvage. you may be wrong with good team work. adam rodriguez right after this, and dennisville are plus one with the school is the child's beginning. one with which one is a better way to assess my william let his throughout the school are out of the

curriculum was left the keenest eyeball. i'm with water with a couple of minutes when you was, wasn't a deal that the appointment was praying. that it's easiest issue. she made it with. no, i mean logical, but that amount with the theme, years per hour or so on, you with blue is your media reflection of reality. ah. in the world transformed what will make

you feel safer? hi, solution for community. are you going the right way or are you being led to software? which direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend ah, to join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah hey folks. welcome back to dennis miller plus one, enjoying our time with adam rodriguez known from c. s i. miami criminal minds from

16 to 20 and it was in the magic mike films currently coast, hosting and mentoring. as he added the augmented reality series finding magic mike, it's streaming on h b o max. look for what's ok. so the baseball dream kind of goes away. and what, what's the 1st step, brother? what do you do? who do you see acting or what do you see that you jump in commercials? what is it you know i was going community college, i was working job. i was a bellman at a hotel and doing demolition work on construction sites and trying to figure it out 801000 years old and i took, i was thinking it was going to community college when i showed up and i was only taking courses and things that i thought were interesting. so acting a theater class was one of them. and i always love story as a kid, love movies, love tv, spent really an inordinate amount of time watching tv movies coming

up. and so i loved it. i love story, but i never considered doing it for living. i just want a whole lot of guys that look like me that ever made it on my brain. that is to be something to do. it just wasn't practical. and so in the middle of this class, one day doing the scene and i just got that feeling that i used to get when i did play baseball and would make a play that would move the crowd in some way. and that chord was struck, and i realized that wait a minute, this is another way into that feeling, you know, and i realize that that feeling was what felt so good about doing this thing. it's, you know, the thing is really a widget at the end of the day i want, i want this feeling i got and, and acting, felt like it. and, and i realize like this is, this is what i want to do. and so it was a little bit of a roundabout way to get to it from there. i became a stockbroker trainee. i had my head that you know, i didn't want to be a starving artist. so let me, let me go work and do something. i know i can do for

a couple years, go the next day and then and then go after it. so and 1900, i started working at this brokerage firm. i got hired and few months into it. i realized quickly that it would be real easy to get stuck there for 20 years. and i had a revelation 111 day and i just realized that you know what, it'll be ok to starve if i'm on the right path. and so i checked out and just, you know, dedicated everything i had to act as a, we're talking about the pivot, right? you know, the moment mad that guy with i worked at a grocery store was the cat said you've been here a year tomorrow. 2 you vest in the dental package. i went home, i got, i got to get out my next thing. i know i'm trade in my gut smith for the next 20 years, a slice and lunch. really not that there's a, you know what to do that traumatize. anybody but i didn't want to slice lunch me

and i thought you except that dental thing, brother, you're screwed. i hope you got a nice cleaning and maybe a roadrunner. awesome. take care of you. you've got to know you got to know when to lead and that was, that was the thing that i had so much respect to the guys that came on the show and finding magic my show and they all willing to take a lead. you know, they were going to put themselves out there in a big way, right? national television and, you know, reveal things about their personal lives, about their hopes and dreams and their fears and, you know, literally fall on their face while being completely exposed again, literally and figuratively. and, you know, put that out there takes courage, you know, and i think like leaving the grocery store job or, you know, leaving the stockbroker shop at some point in time. you're going to have to make those choices that yeah, that aren't easy to make. you know, and

a lot of times easier to make when you're younger than older. i get brother, i dug, i remember doing it better than mine or apprehension. and then thinking, brother, you're on the planet, you're the pebble for 80 years. what are you going to do play? it's got a john pair, man. thank you. when you want to be looking back, said, i can't believe i saved better than what i was 21. what talk about missing a you got it. you got to take that lead when you feel it, you got to say and look, you know, most especially when you have the vision to see ahead. you know, when you've got that or site that not everybody has, you know, and you can see down the road a little bit. it's really hard to stay stuck at that point. so you know, it's why you're sitting here and i imagine why we're both sitting here right now. ok to get out of the boiler room and what's the 1st thing is, is it c s i miami?

now i got a boiler 1st because i got my sag card doing extra work on it will so called new york under cover and then a l. a. a bit of a long story behind it. but my dad was in the service with a man named bill clark, and they, they were good friends bills and n y p, the detective who helped create a blue shirt with david milch. and they were creating a new show called brooklyn, south. and bill, i've been active for a few years in new york and my father. we got back in touch after a lot of years and we got to talking and bill said, yeah, give him a chance to edition. and i was my great man. bill clark gave me a chance to audition for david milch. and steven bochco and i ended up getting that series called brooklyn south. and that was my 1st big break rent. well, the milch and watch about people always forget that you can go back one click beyond deadwood and all that. but hill street blues is the 1st time you're watching tv and gone. wow,

this is so different than anything i have ever seen. absolutely. that was cable television before it existed. you're right, that was. yeah, exactly. i. it took it to new heights and i said it was a 1st to be sure to get a tv. i'm a rating. yeah, we only lasted a season. and then it was again, one of those pivot moments. i didn't work for almost 2 years after that. wow. you had to learn the ropes. and then a couple of shows came along. there's some called roswell for a year. and then the big break was the us on miami miami came along and that, that really launched my career. so splits n y p d blue because he wants to go big green. i remember he's in a film with nic cage or nick cages, bench press and a chicken fighter suddenly. and crusoe comes in and i'm thinking this does not play on that big screen. he's a guy, i like his acting but i'm just thinking menu, you got a and have it that screen and it looks a little more stuff. he comes back to see us miami think and thank god,

i'm back it again a 375 k and episode and they tell him at the end of every beginning, you've got to take a lot easier on i'm all for it. he did it, man, i got to tell you, david, you know, for all of his works. he gave it everything. yeah. i think i really, 1st of all, he was very grateful for the opportunity to come back to me. and he really put a lot in to making that character what it was when you look for as much as we can see here. you know, make the do the imitation. it was a good huck. no, it was a caricature. like it was a caricature, but he went for it, you know, and i think, i think he understood something about the genre that he was like, look, i'm going to do this to make it pop. and he, and he did, i mean people, people gravitated to it and for the 10 years we did that show that he always gave it his best not. and it's best wasn't always easy on everybody else. but he gave it

his best. and i, you know, i, i respect a why out there. listen, david, a listen. i dug exact thing i. busy give a wide berth to catch, you have to show up in front a week like show because that is a better word and who knows you. you come in on a day and catch it at the wrong time, but you're right. the answer the call and he made that thing it got it got fat and have a off of it. he had to work with. he pays a local kid to take the shades off for a tell me about criminal, why and you had over there and get a nice around right? that was great and you know, i had bounced around, i did a few other series in between c, s i miami criminal minds, but criminal minds came back. i came to me and they had cast member leaving. they wanted to fill that slot, basically show shot no way. and i was moving into becoming

a family man. i wanted to stay close to him and, and it was perfect. i stepped in there. we have an incredible show runner over there. and it's really the best cast and the best cast. these people are just a lovely people to go to work with every day. and we enjoyed each other's company. we made a good show the years, and i don't know, there's rumors we might come back. there's rumors we will, we will be coming back on paramount plus at some point here. not no official announcement yet. and they are forge and for product out there, brother. you got so many platforms now. yeah. they're going back around. did out i dream of jeannie coming next? no doubt it rarely make up any anything. we're sure. all right, well the show we're talking about here streaming over on h b o max. it's adam rodriguez acting as a, a host and one of the mentors on the augmented reality series. finding magic mike and obviously inspired by the, by the films
