and then advertising started to come in here come the middle men. so we wanted to own the distribution network. and comedians are prolific. you know, you're able to, your re movies, books, tv shows like with all the businesses that you can spin off and be in 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 . i 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're number 10 overall like we've, we've got deeper cassie, george lopez, he's amazing and he's still live at brother. could we used to say about seinfeld? satirizing story could go across the street to teach that comes back with 8 minutes . you know, it really like that, you know, his podcast, neat land is doing great. we have another show called the dollar that's and bobby

leaves tiger belly, him. the dollar is david anthony and gareth reynolds and they do history. so they go and back. it's a really great show you love it. so they actually 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 they were lorenz eons or something like that. and who is? yeah, exactly. it was a very popular religion for a moment for a moment, you know, and so he does all the research and then garrett is such an amazing improviser that comes on and just wow, as jokes to go along with it right away. so here it's almost like mystery science, theater, 3000 with the encyclopedia, exactly, using bringing stuff on them. so, you know, we've got a ton of shows and you know, i gotta like george lopez and who's not doing podcasts and like, you need to be doing a podcast. there's no latinos in podcasting. same thing with felipe as far as we've

got him on there, he's a great comedy. how many people under the tunnel at this moment? how did we have about 60 shows right now? yeah. and then we're making a couple of movies this year. we did the patrice o'neill documentary so quietly, sorta kicked. wow. now when those things, when somebody comes in and buys those things, it's her big, big, oh, sorry, 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 have 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 like, 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 gaps he is on the road. and you know the podcast is feeding, he's really engaging with his audience. and so the podcast speeds is ticket sales,

and so he's a perfect example. energy. yeah, perfect. and it's really good, much time you 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, 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, it's so annoying it comedy clubs. i walk around the country like patrick tracy walking in roadhouse. i go the bar tender, stealing creditor on money. you want to really churn. 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? burma, this is

a andrew stand up when you are in the lot. most of this is a cat. i should be in visit with, oh, he remembered one of the 1st nights we hung out. we went down to the improv because he had just shown 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 to the improv. 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, note about you. so bill saying there a side and i go get 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 and weird like, like comedy is all the nights. 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 find 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 it's 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 easy night. and i just went i spent 8 minutes, just reaming them and bills in the back and i think we became immediate friends with 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 of 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 particular i again would just found myself just getting so frustrated like and just like trying to tame drunks to like i lost all patient for patients word and i go on stage and i'd 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, david story. yeah. larry bri up there and he'd be killing stuff. why go? i don't think it was a hand java. it's more fun than that. it's a hand fiesta 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 to get 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 egotist to go, but they demanded a certain level respect because they knew what they did was good. jerry stall is that if i get to the city and there's nobody there to meet me, i'm on the sink 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, 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 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 sort of 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. i got to do this for 14 years. yeah. yeah, this is stop on the way now for kids, but back when we're doing it, i don't know about joe. 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 for yeah, well that 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 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 oh so many different surprises. oh, such as the sense rugged not quite right. trying to make those organs in a test tube. in visceral fall, i came up with an idea of using kind of on buddy about of developing and violence as a story followed by a reactor algorithm. so neural networks have been following us everywhere. we look online because our relationships are what matters most us. that's how we find meaning and how we make sense of our place in the world. what silicon valley see, don't mention in that slick presentations. however,

the ghost workers who train the software humans are involved in every step of the process. when you're using anything online. what we're sold as is, miracle of automation behind your screen is a valuable workforce that feeds algorithm as for next to nothing. and a very good day, i could do $5.00 now. a really bad day. i could do $0.10. mm hm. use workers are invisible by design. it's about labor costs, but it's also about creating layers of western responsibility between those who solicit this kind of work and need it. and those who do it a, when i was just seemed wrong when i was just a shape out disdain to come to the african and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds

apart, we choose to look for common ground. the hey 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 podcast. and let me add the keyword here, network network vs dollar point share. when this thing eventually alongside the great, the 1000000000 bill. burke 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 lotto, but i certainly saw him in the dallas film 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 spider man, so their charter would do the for 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, go in that spider man universe. and more of us is this great anti hero along with venom. 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 64 to 66. and american filmmaking, when the anti hero bonnie and clyde, people like that became you could, you could 10 poor film off the 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 there building towards like a sinister 6 and they've got, i think craven hunters and other one now. yeah. youth and so more be is, is

a part of that whole universe and it's super cool being a comic book fan to 68 years old. and so i had dared one and i let it go. i want, did you really it was in the yellow suit that, 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 to do a bunch of stand about there that was actually power to 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 what construction, there's people heckling i'm, we need to shut up. i don't know who told you who could talk, but whose other previous compared to how many, how badly i want to hit somebody with the bottle. this mike stant, 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 is al magical. my full name is alessandra, laborious madrigal and madrigal and somebody goes, caesar salad,

and i go see what the you told him, i can step out of italy. they are, they do reduction, absurd 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, they have a draft try. but when scenes with michael keaton and cheered lego and joe works a whole different world brother. when you think about us sharon comedy condo where it had andromeda strain on the showers. you go over there, you're in clara marguerite, rules milk. it's not broke. we'll throw this thing really great on the 6 joke about the road. be in this and you know, run now now he died. yeah. and i've told this story, but cancel this, but i have to tell my fellow canadian, he was a great comedian, a bit of a bush felt 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, mary. it's clipping my toenails at the edge of the bed. one of toenails flew off into the shag carpet, i couldn't find. i went to sleep, flew to st. louis the next day for a checked into the airport, mary, outside at the edge of my bed. there was a toenail on the rug. it's fit. perfect. so it's 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, i 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, daddy's got a great gig, 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't 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 and i haven't seen it yet, but i guess he wanted to do a longer form interview or something. and there's so many platforms now, but for a while they're here, john didn't like, i think so. i mean, i personally, if you would, if i get the opportunity to get a lot of stuff to do garden next to you and i work off my, i have 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. i want to go on with some college kid. no, no, no emotional human. really because i took the job to put him in a room like tightening and 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. what's that for you? yes, there was a horrible shut down. shut down. okay. yeah. the managers were co can and

so co good for 40 years after that was. yeah. and i said was there a woman's hair catch on fire? no into the thing. no one helped the staff for friends anyway, they went over on the off chance. you might be free, but you actually asked for prior. so i'm on the radio and i did an interview with richard belzer, who is in france, said he said he was gardening on a cell phone gardening, by a waterfall. i'm like, i'm going to do that. so you know that guy, your cup 2 years ago, bells are wrestler. yeah. he was interviewing air cups and the bells can you hear? he's here is 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 a site, but when i 1st saw belzer catch, he was like anton love, a lion tamer,

brutal and 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 belzer was. he was a dark prince and he was great. well, that's what we were sort of talking about early will like 7 years in when somebody walks up on stage and they're like, hi guys that really have a great time. like i was never that i looked at him like all right here. we wonder 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. are you guys good? because i know i'm fine. anyway. so more 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 j gillan hall movie or and then he did one with ryan

reynolds and denzil, called safehouse. sure. that was a great movie and how it was set side manners as well. you know what the 1st day and he goes. ready he goes is to lay in that 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 got to improvise the entire time. it was the best a baby bird fly. go ahead while then load. right? yeah. really awesome. that was for day one. and so i mean i'd look at jerry let. oh, and he comes back and he, you know, i'm improvising a little jerry little letters improvising. i guess we're improvising and he goes, jarrett enjoy what you are doing. oh really? yeah. the more so that's the want to be business. so even when somebody is cool and they're agreeing with you they use and in or lock 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 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 won the oscar for dallas buyers club is he becomes this d cristobelle, you know, the, i don't want to enter and 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 our record that you know sake. i'll do that in a studio and write 25 friends. knock that out. yeah i 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 now. 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 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 sure use and crazy, rich asians. amazing comedian. wow. good butterflies, everything ho and boston, georgia thing. know now there was 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, i got it 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. comedic lee, 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 artist under the tent right now, and it sounds like the pedigree is beautiful news stuff. yeah. it's 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 all brutal. yeah. 2080. no, it's true. yeah. 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 how many calls 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 who's the character, what's it well, we did, it's called pre most so it's 3 cousins. and m e a u or m i

i'm playing cheese, he's right. it's like an opportunity that's crazy or use blue beetle and there's nobody else. and so with this a to view a got for books coming out. yeah. brother, i have a coffee. as for closers does the glengarry 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 it's in the comedy podcast network, bill burke, l. magical, stand astride it like latter day romulus and remus. this is dennis miller. last one . ah, apparently, russia's invasion of ukraine is not so imminent. after all, none the less, washington in london continued to beat the drums of war. many europeans think otherwise. they are the ones with the most to lose in any conflict. they are also

the ones pushing diplomacy. the mediterranean is the world's most over fish. see unsustainable exploitation of its fish dogs, which maureen biodiversity undergoing threat a lesson the getting a quote on us for sure. your guest on the system because our system can continue to pull nikki care for a tech and want to put our lives despite the promises to end over fishing by 2020. the situation is changing too slow. well, i'm very disappointed with the politicians that they basically not in public interests. they also do know in the mid interest of the officials, the only interest of the fishery. moby on the face of the only one is in danger. the fisherman also at risk of losing all of my thought ups of them before they get
