Do you see this Mark Maron shitting all over this Matt Reif guy?
He's coming for our boy?
I don't know. I feel bad for him.
Matt Reif?
At this point now.
He's doing great.
I know. He's making a lot of money.
My sister was telling me that TikTok is mad at him right now.
For what?
His opening joke was misogynistic.
Well, I hope TikTok does not see my special.
Well, I've looked in my follow metrics on Instagram.
Eighty-nine percent male.
But Zoe said that Matt Reif is the opposite.
It's all girls.
And he opened with a woman-beating joke.
What's the joke?
I don't know.
You already told her twice? That classic?
It was kind of a you already told her twice.
Let me ask you something.
If your wife's Indian and you're slapping her around,
how do you know when you hit it too much?
You can't see the bruises?
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, all right.
Is that his joke?
That verbatim, that is what Matt Reif said.
And I'm like, Matt Reif, you don't talk that way.
Why are you doing this an old-time New York guy?
I just remember when we were talking about
the Chinese insurance company, Matt Reif.
Matt Reif.
Yeah, I have a Matt Reif insurance.
Yeah, we have Snoopy.
Yeah, so that's why people are mad at him.
I just saw some daily news.
He has a lot of female fans because he's a real hottie.
And I guess he's a little bit of our boy, Matty.
And they have the same name, too.
Yeah.
And then, good.
Then we'll get into this Matt Reif controversy.
We've got to get deep in this.
People are going to want our take.
Michael, if we could make a note, please.
And we will begin the social media clip entitled,
for the Shorts channel,
The Adam Friedland Show.
On.
They get down to business on the Matt Reif scandal.
I like that name.
Michael, it's verbatim that name.
From now on, all of the clips should be titled in such as a way.
Adam and Nick, get down to the brass tacks.
Yeah.
And also, I've been trying out a new hand motion.
This?
I think, no, when I make a point, I'm going to start doing this.
Like a quick.
And that's the brass tacks.
I like that.
I like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do it again?
No, say the line.
And that's the brass tacks on that.
You should say it after tacks.
And that's the brass tacks.
I like it.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's good.
So, we got this big Matt Reif controversy,
and everyone's asking for our take on it.
You know, it's kind of annoying that, like, every time...
We have to see the joke.
What is the joke that he says that's a pervert?
It's something about, you know, I don't know,
something about domestic abuse.
I don't know.
Let's watch this joke.
Matt Reif, domestic abuse joke.
All right.
Nick hasn't heard it.
My sister paraphrased it for me, but I won't trust her.
No, let me hear the paraphrasation first.
I don't remember what it was.
It was like my...
It's like you already told her twice kind of style.
You know, I think I would look...
It's literally...
Yeah, it's literally that.
What is the joke?
Play it.
Let's hear it.
Their female server has a black eye.
They wonder why the restaurant wouldn't have the server work solely in the
kitchen
so the customers wouldn't see her black eye.
And then he says, yeah, but I feel like if she could cook,
she wouldn't have that black eye.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Yeah.
So her husband beat her for...
Just testing the water, seeing if y'all are going to be fun or not.
I figure if we start the show with domestic violence,
the rest of the show should be smooth sailing.
Oh, so he went edgy.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
That is a tactic that's been used plenty of times in stand-up comedy.
You know?
Mm-hmm.
You know, he's a craftsman, this man.
Yeah.
So what's your take on that joke, Nick?
I don't really fucking care.
I don't really care at all.
I don't care what people like it or not.
All right.
So that's the end of the clip.
The brass...
That's the brass tags on...
On that one.
And that's the brass tag.
Yeah.
I guess we can go back to the Matt Rife thing.
No, we...
I mean, I don't...
Listen.
Well, what do you want to talk about?
The medias are under fire these days.
And, like, I don't know.
I don't want to be part of the pylon.
You know?
Like, they hate us.
The Democrats, they hate us.
They do.
What Matt Rife's baffling Netflix special tells us about comedy...
Let's read that.
Matt Rife's one comedy rule.
Be funny.
The problem is he isn't.
See, this is like...
Who wrote that?
I don't know.
But this is like...
There's...
People want to hate this guy because he's making $60 million.
Nobody's saying he's the best comedian.
I mean, he's just popular.
He's making $60 million.
Off that tour, yeah.
It's probably 40 to 60.
And he's gorgeous.
And he's gorgeous.
I mean, he's finally...
He's stunning.
He's stunning.
I don't know.
You're saying that because he's just the...
This is just a fucking...
Just a fagoy version of you.
Thank you.
You guys have the same, like, phenotype.
He's just, like, the non-Jew version.
Thank you.
It's one of the nicest things you've ever said.
No, you're just complimenting yourself.
When I see Matt Rife, I don't see myself.
I didn't say he was handsome.
You think that I'm basically Matt Rife?
I said you're the same type of, like...
I don't know.
Thanks, dude.
No, but I mean, it's like now that there's...
Like, it's one thing when it's just comics being like,
Ah, this guy sucks.
You know?
But now that there's, like, articles...
Like, now that the Daily Beast and Vox is like,
Actually, he sucks.
I think that that's kind of old school, though.
Well, I mean...
I think that so much traumatic stuff has happened in society
that they're not writing those articles anymore.
That's kind of like a return to normal.
Well, this is what I mean.
It's like, this is kind of like the...
That's like Lindy West.
In 10 years, people are going to be like,
Oh, why were we so hard on Matt Rife?
And it's like, well, you're like...
You know, this is...
This is...
It doesn't matter how much money you make.
Right.
You know what I mean?
It's like, he's probably already made
tens of millions of dollars touring.
Yeah.
So another 60 is not going to really make much of a difference
in the grand scheme of things.
But now that they're writing articles about how...
It's so handsome.
Matt writes one comedy rule.
Be funny.
The problem is, he isn't.
Who wrote that?
I don't know.
It's in Vox.
Who's the writer?
Asia Romano.
Ooh.
That's a tough one.
Why?
That's a tough one.
Why is that a tough one?
Do you know who that is?
No, but I...
You're named after a Steely Dan album.
Can you imagine how much fucking blow her parents did?
A-S-A?
A-J-A.
A-J-A.
You don't even know how to fucking spell.
I can't spell, dude.
You know that about me.
Yeah.
That's the one thing about my private life I ask you not to talk about.
Let's see.
Is this a girl or...
Yeah.
Matt Reif has been trying to be famous for over a decade.
That's such a, like, a shitty...
So mean.
It's just a shitty way to put it.
So gossipy.
Oh, they've been trying to be...
So even though the guy's making $30 million to $60 million,
you're still going to find a way to call him a failure
by saying...
By saying he used to not be famous.
He's been trying to be famous.
How else do you have to try?
Mm-hmm.
What's wrong with trying?
