jared laptop. lead a lot of go out and do, let me go ahead and do a one inch j. jared letter j let. oh show any folks. i want to tell you. it's in theaters. marvia says chance, joyce. i went around the cape a good home, but a good cat, al. magical. how are you? great, great. awesome to be here. like a huge fan. so yeah. what about? yeah, yeah. well listen, what bars seems like such a man? i don't know why i've talked to him, but he seems like a good, easy tastic business partner as well because we've been aligned on this things since the very beginning and started in 2010. we about 5 or. yeah. so we sort of knew that business people were going to try to sink their teeth into podcasting. and because it, you know, 20056789. it's just comedian and audience and then advertising story to come in. and then here come the middle men,

so we wanted to own the distribution network, and comedians are prolific. you know, you are able to, your re movies, books, tv shows like with all the businesses that you can spin off of being a comic. so we wanted to let comedians own you know, as much as they possibly do. who you guys arrive at that light bulb simultaneously, or it was ranting in the comedy store parking lot in 2010 business in 2012. we are the number one comedy podcast network in the world right now. and we were number 10 overall like we've, we've got bait broadcast fee, george lopez. he's amazing and he's still living by brother. could we used to say about seinfeld, the cats rising story, go across the street. pizza comes back with 8 minutes. yeah, no, it really it a shirt like that. you know his podcast, neat land is doing great. we have another show called the dollop. that's and bobby leaves tiger belly. him of a dollop is davy, anthony,

and gareth reynolds and they do history. so they go and back. it's really a great show you love it. so they actually search dave surprises garrath with just facts. i actually guessed it on a show when they were talking about this is a long time ago, but a religion that had a flash in the pan and there were lorenzia and or something like that. and to see exactly. it was a very popular religion for a moment for a moment, you know, and so he had, does all the research. and then garrett is such an amazing improviser. the comes on and just wow, as jokes to go along with it right away. so here it's almost like mystery science, theater, $3000.00 with the encyclopedia, exactly. bringing stuff on them. so, you know, we've got a ton of shows and you know, i go to lake george lopez and who's not doing podcasts and like, you need to be doing a pod cast. there's no latino is in podcasting. same thing with felipe as far as we

got him on there. he's a great comedy. how many people under the 10s at this moment? how do we have about 60 shows right now? yeah. and then we're making a couple movies in here. we did the patrice o'neill documentary so quietly sort of kick. wow. now one of those things when somebody comes in and buys those things, it's her big, big site. i read in that world and i bailed out on because i don't know i'm towards the i don't, i just don't want to work hard. i done doing the podcast, but mine wasn't like whoa and up or anything, but i had fun doing it. but just not the time of my life to be working hard, but i do see the numbers that fly across the, my god, it's crazy. can you if you hit on one of those shows you're doing very well, and it feeds your touring. so a guy like me for gas, he is on the road and you know the podcast is feeding, he's really engaging with his audience. and so the podcast feeds is ticket sales. and so he's a perfect example. energy perfect and it's,

it's really grow much time. you're spending on been the william paley of this thing, and how much time you still doing stand up, stand up is had to take a little bit of a back to sure the pandemic put the nail in the coffin of a stand up comedy career. and then did you know that you had business chops before this? i was, i worked for my parents family business from the age of 1932. and i was a business major. and when i got into stand up and you know i was, and so annoying and comedy clubs, i walk around the country. it was like patrick tracy walk in roadhouse. i go the bar tender, stealing creditor on money last year. sure. really churn. so it was way like, came in your dorm and just set rico kids in the front row. what are you guys doing here? oh burma. this is a andrew stand up until you are in that lot. most of this is

a cat. i should be involved with, oh, i remember one of the 1st nights we hung out, we went down to the improv because he just showed up in l. a. and so i had come, i got spots, and i was doing that little circuit where i was going comedy store, laugh factory in problem and pop generally in prague. he comes with me jumps in the car and it was daily show corresponded. now michael cost on stage and he's a great comic great guy and we're friends, but i've seen him for the 1st time. he's just freshen from detroit and he goes, i don't know this next guy is, but if you want to good intro, you better come up to me and talk to me beforehand. said bill, no to about you. so bill saying there aside, and i go, i can swear on this or oh yeah, i go get off. they she just bring me up. the think that's ready, said the new orleans and just get off. bring me up. i introduce myself. you're just not remembering i go do your job the job and there was like,

can weird like eli comedy is on the nights. so it was like, it wasn't listen there's, there's nothing more attitude, no than the the gatekeeper, the star gate keeper, as opposed to the comedians. i always flagged like the comedians were all kind of normal, but there's always a cat who is not great at it, but he ushers the people on stage. he often has the biggest attitude really, really true. it's like the guy who couldn't get up the other wrangling. yeah, i go just bring me up like that. it was an asian night. and i just spent, i spent 8 minutes, just reaming them and bills in the back. and i think we became immediate friends, played all the comics or die and because i just won't stop. and that's part of the reason why probably, boom, yeah. may weather, just more of your rubber norm when he'd light into a teacher who said, sort of the norm macdonald, there's a great video of him with an idiot in the crowd. and it reminds me in the movie aliens where he could have put out a media play as you could have in the 1st 2 minutes. but you keep like aliens where

they keep the husk barely alive so they could feed on. yeah. marrow. just for a particular i, again would just found myself just getting so frustrated like and just like trying to tame drunks to like i lost a patient for patients ward and i go up on stage and i, you know, play around with them and then try to get back to it because for the most part, you know, i'm a storyteller, and i have a 15 minute story. i want to know that it has, it requires you to pay attention. so if you're doing largo and people are sitting and there's no way you know, great, but if you're at the store, right, yeah, very david story. yeah. larry bri up there and he'd be killing stuff. why go on? i don't think it was a hand drawn, but it's more fun than that. it's a hand fiesta i hand parade and like crowds not even listed it. and larry would look like you could see him. i really usually mean he's to walk on stage and just look at the audience go. i don't think so. just really

just out the door. that's fantastic. i feel the same exact way, jerry, even before they were larry and jerry had a certain place in their own head, money called egotist to go, but they demanded a certain level respect because they knew what they did was good. jerry, always tell me that if i get to the city and there's nobody there to meet me, i'm on the same plane because it returns back up, you know, and at some point you get, so disrespected, when you're stand up your worst at the beginning the, you gotta lay down some ground rules just for your own self. and yeah i, i, i would go into shows, i think this is when things switch for me as a standup comic. i was like 7 years in and i knew i was good day. you were title, and at that point here, i think leno says 7 years. it's like being a lawyer, 7 years to get your law degree and then another 7 years to actually be a good lawyer. it's the same thing with sort of like 14 years and you really so you

get like talking comedy class, just somebody asked me to write when i got to l. a and i said the exact same thing and everybody was like so discouraged. they're like 14 years. i got to do this for 14 years. yeah. is a stop on the way now for kids, but back when we're doing it, i don't know about joe. well, i still, i couldn't believe i was a stand. i'm married pre ap. i'm here, he's like, i started at 28 in 1998 and so for yeah, well that there is a magical joke right there. i absolutely love that observation. melissa will take a break, then you might not have time for the to go up there and do 15 at the what was the good times review was always a tough club for me in new york, but you are acting. and this sounds like a high visibility project, more b. s. will pick else brain about it after the breakout. magical. dennis miller plus one. awesome the

ah there is chance all down there. here. holiness the larry over here. so your camps are always a little nicer than this is evidence of absolute poverty, despair. people in our city and other cities all across america are living like this, where the original heat and village that opened up in 2018. and right now there's 31 homes on the property. it's a little over 4 acres with 31 homes and a community center. unfortunately, a lot of people don't make it out of edition more homelessness, and i'm just really happy. it made it bad you

with oh, oh oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith? in a world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the

shallows. a folks welcome back to dennis miller plus one. i've been a good time with fellow comedian actor, l. madrigal and he is the co founder of the all things comedy podcasts. and let me add the keyword here, network network versus all or points share when this thing eventually i alongside the great, the brilliant build birth also has pedigree over there. john stewart, for 5 seasons and an actor and shows like about a boy, but now moving into it sounds like the fast lane. i don't know much about jared level, but i certainly saw him in the the dallas phone with mcconnell and he was a great one. the more b as tell me about a marvel sony marvel universe. and so sony owns all the rates to spiderman, so they're charging with disney for these new tom using right. but massive one of

the biggest. and sony now can spin off all of the super villains that go in that spider man universe in more years. is this great anti hero along with them? so this sort of pairs up with venom and me entire tom hardy, that's the tom hardy, one that they just that did extremely well for them as well. they've got a bunch of these coming out. so engineers to, you know, it almost syncs up with, let's say 604066 american filmmaking. when the anti hero bonnie and clyde, people like that became you could, you could tend poor film off the but if you show them layered enough and it sounds like they've done all the heroes in the marvel universe, you mean now they could do the job and i went back feeling towards like a sinister 6 and they've got, i think craven hunter is another one coming out. yeah. youth and so more be is, is a part of that whole universe and it's super cool being a common cook fan. i guess i'm 68 years old and so i

had daredevil one and i let it go. i want did you really he was in the yellow so bad. oh my gosh. yeah. and it's it's very cool. so i got to spend 2 and a half months in london shooting this thing, and that was awesome. got you bunch of stand about there. that was actually part of that. how to transfer. you know, what i found everyone is so nice. on the stage i haven't such a mean streak in me, so i work and station, there's people heckling, i'm like, he need a shuttle go. i don't know who told you who could talk. but other previous compared to you know, many how badly i want to hit somebody with the bottle this mike, stand i drive you crazy on the other side of the road. oh well it's just, you know, i was, i go, my name is magical. my full name is alessandra, laborious madrigal and madrigal and somebody goes, caesar salad, and i go see, you told him i can step out of italy. they are, they do reduction. absurd salad is a guy yells out. and so anyway,

it was really fun. had but i'm, they are ty reese's, my partner, i have all, you know, i got to and they have the strength, but i'm doing scenes with michael keaton and shared little and my job works a whole different world brother. when you think about us, sharon, i comedy condo, where it had andromeda strain on the shower. you go over there, you're in clarity. margaret rules, milk. take folks. we'll strows. it's really a great joke about the road in this and you know right now now he died and i've told this story, but cancel this, but i have to tell my fellow comedian, he was a great comedian, a bit of a bush felt a little, but he was very hip ronnie shakes, did a great job about how the roads always the same. he says, so i was at the newark airport last night at the newark, mary, i'm it's clipping my toenails at the edge of the bed. one of toenails flew off into

the shag carpet i couldn't find and went to sleep, flew to st. louis the next day for a good checked into the airport. mary, outside at the edge. my bed there was a toenail on the gets fit. perfect, so it really is and it's just, i mean when you're in your early twenties, that's great. but you know, and i have teenage kids that i'd like to see, you know, i know aren't going to be long for the house. so i'd like to hang out, let everybody, but when you get the call to be in more v as in go to london, k kids, i'm going to london. now, when i told my kids, i got the daily show, they were 6 and 9. and i go to my 9 year old, they go, hey, daddy's got a great gig it's, it's a big one. and i go, i, it's in new york though, and it was like a pat on the back, like, have a great time when you go to new york and we'll stay here and you can kill your self flying back and forth. i will let you know when john dropped out. i thought he would do the carson thing where you just never saw me get his back. i haven't seen

it yet, but i guess you wanted to do a longer form interview or something. and there's so many platforms now, but for a while there he and john didn't like, i think so. i mean, i personally, if you will, if i get the opportunity to get a lot of stuff to do garden next to you and i work off my no compunction or qualms about live in easy life. and i like, i like to come in here and these people are nice. i get to scratch my brain talking to nice people, but this is it, i'm off the road. it's going to want to go out and yeah, so with some college kid. no, no, no emotional him, it's really hard because i took the job to put him in the room. i think i did an interview. i was doing the road in like the coconut grove in probably just one of the worst clubs in the country. was that for you? yes, there was a horrible shut down. shut down. okay. yeah. the managers were coke had. and so co for 40 years after that was oh yeah, and i was there, i saw

a woman's hair catch on fire. no into the thing. no one helped the staff, her friends anyway, they went over on the off chance she might be free, but actually asked place on prior. so i'm on the radio and i did interview with richard belzer, who is in france, said he said he was gardening on a cell from gardening, by waterfall. i'm like, i'm going to do that. so you know that guy, your cup 2 years ago, bells or wrestler. yep. he was interviewing air cups and i said the bell can you hear is there. i know here it goes. i used to, but i also have a place in france trail waterfall jack, and he's a happy, you know, he was the 1st guy now and i don't know who mattered to you in a 2nd. when i 1st saw bells or catch, he was like anton love, a man lion, tammy, brutal and something went off in my head where i said, oh, i see, they don't want you to be kisser. they want you to be adapt. if you're presumptuous

enough to stand up there with amplification and lighting, they want you to look like you own it. that's what belzer was. he was a dark prince and he was great. well, that's what we were sort of talking about earlier, like 7 years in when somebody walks up on stage and they're like, hi guys, everybody have a great time. like, i was never that i looked at them like all right, here we go under the hill, doug because bill bill feels he owes them to be adroit. he doesn't know them to be overly friendly now. not at all. so i'm really good this. i know what time are you guys good, because i know i'm fine. anyway. so we're be a huge deal london, big movie really well done by this guy, daniel espinoza, who did the movies. if you're a movie, fan, life was his, and jake gillen hall movie. and then he did one with ryan reynolds and denzil called safe house. sure. that was a great movie and how it was set side manner. you know what the word to the 1st day

and he goes. ready he goes, he's to lay in that lives in sweden and it goes, you are my baby bird and he goes, when i tell you you can fly, you can fly, say anything you want. so i get to improvise the entire time. it was the best a baby bird fly. go ahead. while what i can note. right. yeah. really awesome. that was from day one. and so i mean i'd look at jerry let. oh, and he comes back and you know, i'm improvising a little jerry little letters, improvised, i guess we're improvising and he goes, jared, enjoy what you are doing. oh, really? yeah. more. so that's some of the business. so even when somebody is cool and they're agreeing with you, they use and interlock a tour. i lived in a comedy where, where the jared little guy wouldn't go, had dug that joke. and it wouldn't be like over here until the i'm sure he's a good enough guy. i'm just, you know, movie are so rare, locked into the character and that's where you get the guy who won the oscar for dollars buyers club is he becomes this d. cristobelle, you know,

i and the i don't want to interact anyway. so where do you go from here, man, or do you think you're done with the stand up or i might go, but i think i have another album in me and i just don't know how i record that. you know, i'll do that in a studio and 25 friends. knock that out. yeah, i just did just think of that kid who did it alone would be no burnam. yeah, i loved it. i thought it was, i thought it was amazing. i went into it a little skeptical, you know, told me as steve martin said, hey, have you seen this? bo burner kid nice. and he said he doesn't thing alone. because sounds a little gimmick. heezer. know. i think he's a genius. i think he's a genius as well. i thought it was incredible. yeah, i really didn't. you know, it's funny. as the, the production values were cool. a very mcguyver low tech, but the movie 8th grade like he's really good. we have a special coming out on our things comedy, ronnie chang special. that he shot we just shot new york and the chinese restaurant

. that is going to be one of the most beautiful things you've ever seen. and ronnie chang, who's a daily shirt user and crazy rich asians, amazing comedian. so good, but revise everything home, but the george thing now now there is a chinese restaurant there. we stall or whatever. right? no, i remember hearing one boston gig i did was with denis leary. i did that comics come home. yes and yeah. yeah, exactly. good work leery. yeah. if you're predispose this christmas season, make a donation because larry, who i don't know much about him committed clay, i got, i was friends with bill hicks and i know he and bill had a big head butting session about persona isn't that? but i do know that leery does the right thing as far as the firefighters. so absolutely you have any spare change in the the christmas stocking. you might look into help in that fund over there. we've been enjoying our time with al madrigal, and like i said, he's the co founder of the comedy podcast network. they've got 60 artists under the

tent right now, and it sounds like the pedigree is beautiful. who knew some stuff? yeah, it's gets great because a lot of production companies robin people left. right? yes. so we want all the money. they don't they don't even give an even break. you know, some of these podcast companies all brutal. yeah. 2080. no, it's true. yeah. and the kid goes, when no one has got to talk for an hour or you say 2080 the other way or the other way. they yeah. they get you at the beginning when you don't really have any call and promise you to get in out of the cold somewhere. kids are i wanted to mention also i wrote, i wrote a comments book, i created my own super hero whose character, what will we did? it's called pre most so it's 3 cousins. and m e a u or m i p r i m e r. i m o as. yeah. and that comes out on february 2nd. so yeah. its

rather than comical. can look at there's no latino. super sure. i did it coming down here being stand up comic us like the business have always been in business, is really coming in and seeing how on level the playing field is and just saying, let's figure this out a love or is there an opportunity there, brother, everything's on level to somebody. yeah, exactly. yeah. like you. yeah. if i were you, i wouldn't be thinking i, we've been aggrieved. i've been thinking, i can't believe there's an opening guess what swoop i'm in. i got the product right . really a strictly so that is a better way to think about it. yeah, i just and then you take care of it on the back. yeah, sure right now, as i look around show business, it's like going to a flea market were even the object is overpriced. to the max, because nobody hit that surprises anymore. when you say that to me that there's no latino superior. i'm playing cheese, he's right. it's. it's like an opportunity that's crazy. yeah. huge blue beetle and there's nobody else. and so with his 8 of the way i've got 4 books coming out. yeah

. rather i've got a coffee is for closers as the glengarry glen ross. people say it sounds like you're hitting it hard is out, mary share. jeff, great. now listen to a manager going remember, when you do here in the comedy podcast, network billboard, al magical, stand astride it like latter day romulus and remus? this is dennis miller. last one. ah, no one else seemed wrong when oh, please. just don't know any new world, you have to shape out this thing because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will to part. we choose to look

for common ground. now we know you, this is he is a sphere. if you are fast, you will fall off the and, and the other side already came home and you about home. so, i would like to envision the, does it also the universe, if you live it is just like that. you're on the action you're doing from the other side. is the earth still large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff bezos? you know, it's got its tentacles in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon isn't trying to get into to step by step. the amazon empire has extended its group on the world that walks like a dog being quite like a dog hits a dog. so amazon looks like monopoly trades like a monopoly makes money like monopoly behaves like monopoly. amazon essentially controls the market place. it's not really a market, it's a private arena,

a wild where a single company controls the distribution of all of our daily products. and the infrastructure of our economy. is this the world according to amazon? ah, it depends on the russian federation, then there will be no war. we don't want any wars, but we will also not allow our interest to be rudely trampled on and ignored. and then a growing stand off with the west or the ukraine. russia top diplomat stressed is most go, does not want to conflict, but insist security lesbians showed with potentially fatal blow to boris johnson's leadership leak. female suggests the u. k. prime minister may have prioritized peta people during the cale to get back to age of afghanistan, leaving thousands of british citizens ally.
