the very public nervous breakdown as they should. things are not going their way. hey folks, next up, great comedian and a savvy business mat. billy burs partner over there at their podcast network al madrigal, and they've got, i think they've got 65 shows on the air now. all different lilt bands podcasting. it's the new prairie. people are out there inhabiting it. now madrigals got a nice toe hold. he and bar. good cat to fun. cat. now magical right after this on dentist miller plus one thing a folks welcome to dennis miller plus one. i'd say that i love interviewing meetings, but this cat is got a lot of slashes, isn't that curriculum v t actor? comedian al madrigal, i'll talk to the comedian part of them up front. he's co founder of all things

comedy pot podcast. know what work alongside, bur and folks put it home. i but the water bill bird brings to this cat. i know it must be super because i think birds one of the 10 funniest guys who are stand up comedian and a killer 2 and a smart man aus known for his work as a correspondent for the daily show with jon stewart for 5 season. he has also appeared as an actor and shows like about a boy gary, married and welcome to captain. you'll see him next. this is interesting, nice side turn here to get into the marvel universe in the film. more vs not mobius, but more b. s. alongside jarrett let joe not jay leno, jared lead to lead a lot to go out and do, let me go ahead and do a one inch j. jared letter j letter show any folks i want to tell you and it's in theaters. marvia says, chance 28. i went around the cape a good hope,

but a good chat. al. magical. how are you? great, great. awesome to be here. like huge fan so. yeah. yeah. well listen, what's bar 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 met fiber. 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 started 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 ranting in the comedy store parking lot in 2010 was 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 deeper cassie, george lopez, he's amazing. my brother could, we used to say about side cats rising story. go across the street repeats that comes back with 8 minutes. you know it really a nature 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 dave 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 to 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 yeah, 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 it's almost like mystery science, theater. 3000 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 podcast. there's no latino is in podcasting. same thing with felipe as far as we've got him on there, he's a great comedy. many people under the tunnel at this moment. how do we have about 60 shows right now? yeah, and then we're making a couple movies this year. we did the patrice o'neill documentary so quietly sort of kicked. wow. now one of those things, when somebody comes in and buys those things, it's her big,

big 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 doesn't do the podcast, but mine wasn't like whoa and up or anything, but i had fun doing it. but just not the time in my life to be working hard. but i do see the numbers that fly across the, my god, it's crazy. 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, perfect for energy. yeah, perfect. and it's, it's really grow much time. you're spending on being 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. this or 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 a comedy clubs, i walk around the country. it was like patrick tracy walking in roadhouse. i go the bar tender, stealing creditor on money was really a journey. so it was way like, came in your dorm and just said re co kids in the front row. what are you guys doing here? oh burma. this is a andrew stand up when you are in the 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 it's got spots . and i was doing that little circuit where i was going comedy store, laugh factory in problem and pop down in prob he comes with me, jumps in the car and it was daily show corresponded. now michael cost on stage and

he's a great, a time, a great guy and were 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 i side 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 a weird like every comedy is on the night. so it was like he 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 and 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 meant i spent 8 minutes just reaming them and bills in the back. and i think we became a media friend point 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 area, 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 her out immediately 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, mary, just credit 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, ford and i go 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, that 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? i don't think it was a hand job, 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 like, just walk 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, i'm not even called egotistical, but they demanded a certain level respect because they knew what they did was good jerry stories that

if i get to the city and there's nobody there to meet me. i'm on the 2nd one because it returns back up, you know, and at some point you get, so disrespected, when you're stand, the worst at the beginning the, you gotta lay down some ground rules just for your own self. yeah, i, i, i would go into shows, i think this is when things switch for me as a stand up comic. i was like 7 years in and i knew i was good. yeah. you were tied up. 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 like 14 years and you really go outside, you get taught in 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 ago because for 14 years. yeah. is a stop on the way now for kids, but back when we're doing it, i don't about yeah. well i, 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 are for yeah. well, but i, there is a magical joke right there. i absolutely love that observation. now let's 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 call for me in new york, but you are acting. and this sounds like you're high visibility project more b. s will pick l brain about it after the breakout manageable. dennis miller plus one awesome ah. in with

bring you the very latest every out the day this is out. he's now snow from and everyone hand on with the now we know you do this is he is a sphere. he will fast and you will fall off the end and the other side when he came home and you're back home. so i would like to envision that does, it actually has to be live and it's just like that, you know, on the action to and from the other side. and there is champs all down through here, calling this the larry over here. so your cancer, always a little nicer than this, this is evidence of absolute poverty, just mayor and people in our city and other cities all across america are living

like this. where at the original need and village that opened up in 2018 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 ally, and i'm just really happy. it made it bad. you with a folk 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 podcast. and let me add the key word here. network network. first of all are points here when this thing you're basically alongside the great,

the brilliant build bar 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 dallas film with mcconnell and he was a great one. they asked yeah, more be tell me about marvel sony marvel universe. and so. busy sony owns all the rates to spiderman, so their charter would disney, even these new tom, how are we using right? but massive one of the biggest, and sony now can spin off all of the super villains going that spider man universe and more of use is this great anti hero along with them. so this sort of pairs up with venom. and to me entire tom hardy that 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 imagine this to, you know, it almost syncs up with, let's say 604066 and american filmmaking, when the anti hero bonnie and clyde,

people like that became you could, you could 10 pull 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 looking 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 comic book fan. i am i guess i'm 68 years old. and so i had daredevil one and i let it go. i watched. did you really he was in the lots of bad. oh my gosh. yeah. and it's, it's very cool. so i get to spend 2 and a half months in london shooting this thing and that was awesome. got you understand about there that was actually part of that. how to transfer. you know what i found everyone is so nice. you can have 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 whose other previous you know many how badly i want to hit somebody with the bottle this mike, stand, heckler's drive you crazy on the other side of the road. oh, well, it's just, you know, i was, i go, my name's magical. my full name is alessandra lavario, madrigal and madrigal and somebody goes, caesar salad, and i go see, the custodian, italy, they are, they do reduction absurdum salad because 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 grass. but i'm doing scenes with michael keaton and shared little and jill more a whole different world brother. when you think about us, sharon, that comedy condo where it had andromeda strain on the shower. you go over there, you're in clarity, margaret, rules, milk take. now folks. we'll strows,

it's really a great joke about the road be in this and you know right now now he died. yeah. 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 belt lit 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 marianne, 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 of my bed, there was a toenail and rug it's fit. perfect. so it's the boot. it really is. and it's just a, i mean when you're in your early twenties, that's great. but, you know, and, and i have teenage kids that i'd like to see, you know, aren't going to be long for the house. so i'd like to hang out with 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 dad, he'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 wish that you know, and 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, i have no compunction or qualms about living 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 i want to go on. yeah. so with some college kid. no,

no, no emotional him, it's really hard because i took the job to put him 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 for sure. yes, there was a horrible shut down. shut down. okay. yeah. all the managers were coke heads. 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 one to the thing. no one helped the staff, her friends anyway, they went over on the off chance she might be free, but actually asked 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 are wrestler. yep. he was interviewing air cups and the

bells can you hear is there. i know here it goes. i used to but i also have a place in france. trail waterfall, exact and he's happy, you know, he was the 1st guy now and i don't know who mattered to you as did a site, but when i 1st saw belzer catch, he was like anton love, a lion tamer, brutal and i something went off in my head where i said, oh i see they don't want you to be cancer, 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 bells or was he was the 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 doug because bill bill feels he owes them to be adroit. he doesn't know them to be overly friendly. now. not at all. like,

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 daniela's, spinoza, who did the movies. if you're a movie fan, life was his. and jake gillan, hall, movies are and then he did one with ryan reynolds and denzil called safehouse. sure . that was a great movie and how it was set side manner to the 1st day. and he goes. ready he goes, he's to lay and lives in sweden and he 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 the improvised the entire time. it was the best a baby bird fly. go ahead. while i can load. right? yeah, really awesome. that was for day one. and so i mean i'd look at jared, lego, and he comes back and the, you know, i'm providing a little jerry little letters,

improvised. i guess we're improvising and he goes, jarrett 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 job. and it wouldn't be like over here tell 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, do you have to push the bell? you know, the, i don't want to interact anyway. so where do you go from here, men 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 it's sake, i'll do that in a studio and write 25 friends. knock that out. yeah, i just 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 i was steve martin said, hey, have you seen this? bo burner kit nice. and he said he doesn't thing alone. because sounds a little gimmick he is or. no. 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 is 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 all things comedy, ronnie chang special that he shot we just shot in 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 reminds everything home, boston the george thing now. now it was china 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. exactly. yeah. yeah, exactly. and 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 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. and they've got 60 artists under the tent right now. and it sounds like the pedigree is beautiful news stuff. yeah, it gets great because a lot of production companies, robin people left or right. yeah. so we want all the money. they don't they don't even give an even break. you know, some of these podcasts companies or brutal? yeah. 2080. no, it's true. yeah. on the kid goes, when i'm the one who's 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 want to mention also i wrote, i wrote a comic book, i created my own super hero, whose character was, well, we did. it's called pre most 3 cousins. and m e a u or m i p r i m o r i m o s. and that comes out on february 2nd, so yeah, it's rather comical. can look at there's no latino, super sure. i did it coming down here being a stand up comic us like the business have always been into business, is certainly coming in and seeing how on level the playing field is and just saying, let's figure this out level or is there an opportunity there, brother, everything's leveled to somebody. yeah. like you. yeah. if i were you, i wouldn't be thinking we've been aggrieved. i've been saying,

i can't believe there's an opening guess what swoop in? i got the product right. really. 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 is like going to a flea market where even the object is overpriced to the max, because nobody has that surprises anymore. when you say that to me, that there is no latino superior on playing cheese, he's right. it's like an opportunity this crazy or use blue beetle and there's nobody else. and so with his a to view a got for books coming out and yeah, brother, i have coffee is for closers as the glint. gary, glen ross, people say it sounds like you're hitting it hard. yeah. great. and listen to a magical and remember when you do here is in the comedy podcasts, network, bill burke, al, magical, stand a stride it like latter day romulus and remus. this is dennis miller. last one. 0 i

use, ah, most incidents on syndrome as you mentioned before, things like difficulty concentrating, insomnia memory problems. there are so vague as to be experienced by just about everyone who has ever lived in any given week me. right. and so now people all over the who are military personnel or intelligence officers or diplomats working for the american government, are now on the lookout for lisa. now will this help them in literally people are getting up in the morning and freezing and attributing it to advantage syndrome because it's so bang, the chat

in the nutrition. john, the issue agenda from my hash ah, i mean, i just started to look forward to recruiting whole journal and kelly retorted coroner massage issue. that sounds good and keep to learn that research too. i'm not asking you me here to tell you that i think

a with after months of the western insisting that russia is set to invade ukraine. tonight, nato's secretary general makes a stunning. you turn admitting the military block actually has no certainty whatsoever. but any such aggression will happen at all used to be a pollution, if 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 brutally trampled on and ignored. i made a growing stand off with in the west, over ukraine, russia as a cop diplomat, stresses moscow does not want conflict, but in 5th, if security must be insured and health.
