Rife For Cancellation | Matt Rife | EP 401
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2024
- Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down in-person with recently “canceled” comedian Matt Rife. They discuss the incident in question, his viral response, the prominence of crowd work in his act, his early career start at the age of 15, the innovative use of social media to build his name, and the real reason he remains unapologetic for having a sense of humor.
Matthew Steven Rife was born in 1995 and is an American stand up comedian and actor. He started early, entering a school talent show at the age of 14 after being encouraged by a friend. Finding this to be a success, he went professional the next year at age 15. Using TikTok, he managed to consistently go viral with his stand up and "red flag" crowd work. He then entered the arena full time, using social media to grow his name before producing three straight-to-RUclips comedy specials from 2021 to 2023. This year, he debuted his first Netflix special, "Natural Selection."
This episode was filmed on November 22, 2023

i’ve been disabled with chronic illnesses since childhood, and i’ve been in a wheelchair for the past 10 years since i became an amputee, and nothing makes me happier than LAUGHING!!! people walk on eggshells around me all the time, and i watched one of matt’s shows where he joked with a girl in a wheelchair, and he wasn’t demeaning in any way whatsoever which was incredibly endearing. btw, the girl laughed her ass off and thanked him for INCLUDING US!!! i don’t go to a comedy show to get upset and defensive. i’m SO glad that you didn’t apologize for what he said, and i’m even happier than matt isn’t allowing himself to get canceled. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You go girl!
You are the real deal❤
Thank you and god bless you
Wait, So your practically wolverine? I’m talking to BioGirl!
I was curious when I read your comment, the fact that you have a sense of humor is awesome!

THE COLLAB WE NEVER KNEW WE NEEDED
Hell yea
Is it?
Both Rife and Peterson are controlled opposition
No shit! Haha, I just jumped in my car & was like WHAAAATS THIS? YEP! click 😁
@@wilrsjasacyes it is. cry harder
I've never seen a 28 year old talk with so much composure, wisdom and clarity. You've raised yourself so well Matt Rife. Damn bro. Tou are so respectful and self aware. God bless you abundantly.
Absolutely agree 100%
@@patrickdavid6525I don’t think Jesus would approve of a domestic violence joke just saying
@@Tonytonychopper-lm1kd brother yes your right the bible talks about course jesting or joking however my point was he is highly skilled and has mastered his craft and he is empathetic at the same time. That's what I was admired.
@@patrickdavid6525 calling Matt rife “highly skilled” and “mastered his craft” is like saying Greg oden was a healthy NBA player
@@Tonytonychopper-lm1kd please dont bring your jesus stuff here. nobody needs that
every time matt rife talks one on one, it always feels like matt and the person he's talking to are just old friends catching up. he's so comfortable around people, it suits him and his personality very well
Matt's unapologetic attitude towards cancel culture and ability to articulate himself are true signs of a quality comedian.
Forget that, these are just signs of being a person of quality. Virtuous even.
@@SilverYPheonix Agreed. Not being weak and maintaining sharp speech are in Peterson's own words, deadly, and should be strived for by everyone.
Then why was he such a baby about the plastic surgery jokes….?😂😂
Funnily enough, comments sections on Instagram, Tiktok etc have drastically shifted from 12 months ago, where now people have stopped buying into the far-left speech control agenda and so on. It’s very promising.
BINGO! This guy gets it
He even spelled it out in the special, "you can't cancel me, I'm not your gym membership".
Just sounds like your run of the mill neolib bumper sticker phrase. Do you view this as prolific?
@@sawssman965Implying any libs have a sense of humor.
Okay, then Boycott. That was the original name. You're all stupid haha
@@Shin_FTWThe left runs humor, comedy Central is 90% the shit that makes you wet your pants for some reason
@@sawssman965You can't cancel me! I don't even know what that word means so I have to relate it to something unrelated!
"Making light of a very dark serious thing", is also a form of a coping mechanism. While serving with the US Army for 7 years, we all joked about the most horrific things, we had to. Otherwise we wouldn't have been able to function properly. Great vid. Thanks guys. Matt, I'm 58 and I find your humor hilarious. :) :) :)
Thank you so much for your service 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Gallows humor. It’s the only way to survive intense experiences like medical training. Or current world events 😅
Absolutely true. You will hear the darkest/funniest jokes ever in a combat zone... even leading up to a deployment it starts getting worst and worst. Thanks for your service bro
@@nancrist7022 I thought it was called Dark humor. or are they basically the same thing?
@@Amaru220 in my mind, the same. In medicine and war you're dealing with death and destruction. I don't think we called it anything when my ex was going thru the exhausting and traumatic process of medical training, over 40 years ago. We just laughed!
Matt is exactly what we need today
Im disabled in a wheelchair and i have no problem with disabled jokes or almost any joke. I think everyone needs to laugh at themselves and the crazy ride we're on called life. Laughter is the best medicine after all!
Preech girl😂 I'm a gypsy introvert ..I am literally the best joke ever..here want ur cards read ? Get out my house I need space. Lmfao😂 I'm sorry tho this old guy is so boring I can't watch this I'm just reading comment s waiting for him to shush..n telling fortunes in his forehead😅😮😂
How can you tell the commenter is female?
And I DO NOT mean that in a "gender fluid" sense.
I ask because sometimes when I leave ambiguous comments I'll get replies that assume I'm a guy.
It always makes me wonder.@@ChelseaCouture-cv4pw
If you can't make fun of yourself , you'll never be able to be happy positive and just smile
They should atleast be funny.
Agree! I was diagnosed with a rare form of muscular dystrophy called Mitochondrial Myopathy in 1992 at age 12. I started attending MDA camp that year, we called it the crippled kids camp! I have the utmost respect for Dr. Peterson and Matt is hilarious (even though I love metal music.😂) I've been prescribed countless medications by doctors that were listed as "toxic" to Mitochondrial diseases and battles a 25 year long opioid addiction. I truly believe "laughter" (and specific vitamin supplements) r the best medicine. In this world if u don't laugh you'll never stop crying. Stay strong Dr. Peterson and Matt Rife💜💜💜

@@user-ec3rm9wr1n Aaaaaand you missed it.
Not at all.
Hahaha. Matt Rife is a dork. You thought this was profound??
A joke is to ridicule the situation, not the person. You are GRANDE.
As a victim of DV, I was not offended by the joke. I admit it, I laughed. People need to grow the fuck up and get over themselves. Keep rocking Matt!!
“I wasn’t fishing for compliments, but I appreciate the fact they emerged”
You got to love Dr. Peterson
He speak very intelligently and then uses the word bitchy, made me laugh.
@@TheMyrmidon22I liked when he said fucker too lol
@joshbowling3736 He is always safisticated and real at the same time.
I audibly chuckled when he said "emerged". The intellectual and the jester- awesome match up 😂

"I wasn't fishing for compliments but I do appreciate the fact that they emerged" 😂😂 Gotta love how JP expresses himself.

Just browsed across this young man at noon today......six hours later....... not just his show, which is hysterical...there is something special surrounding this kid.
Coming onto this podcast honestly makes me respect Matt Rife so much more.
respecting someone based on just coming onto a podcast. what an NPC
I love the different people on we will never know what the next topic or who the next guest will be
@@OS-yg9fr*More. I respect Matt for actually standing up to woke virtuoso's who think they have the right to strangle people intellectually. He's also hilarious.
You are a pathetic, apathetic person who needs to unplug. Using the term NPC unironically is indicative of brain rot.

@@OS-yg9frcan we fight in a gym soon.
Freedom of Speech applies to persecution from government, nothing more, nothing less. Go into work and call your boss an idiot cunt and see if there are no repercussions for your "freedom of speech".

This is absolutely the smartest and truest conversation about the “feelings” of the world today that I understand. Y’all made situations made understandable. I’m having a hard time describing how brilliant this conversation was. Thank you for having this conversation!! I’m definitely sharing !! Love y’all keep it up!!
Dave Chappelle being his comedic hero isnt surprising. You can tell, Dave would have been really proud with his apology 😂😂😂
Im a person with a disability and I thought Matt’s “apology” was hilarious , because he didn’t pander down to cancel culture and he also raised awareness to a real website that actually sells special needs helmets.
Word.
Same here! Matt is hilarious 😂
Exactly, I went through a horrible relationship of DV and I laughed at the first joke! I also found the apology hilarious! People need to grow up. I don't see how they made it through highschool!
Matt Rife: a pillar of the disabled community. Gimme a break.
Dude, you are more able bodied with your ability to laugh than so many with all their stuff attached. Big respect.
This interview felt so organic. Just two guys getting to know each other, and fully engaged. Great job, Jordan!
for real. much much better than his 2nd pod w/Andrew Schulz, for comparison.
We need more Matt's in this world. Proud you didn't back down.
I appreciate Matt Rife, because he has the ability to take very real issues, bring them up with a type of humor that doesn't leave room for assumptions, and makes us take a hard look at those things, then leaves us to think on them later. Thank you!
This is the oddest, most beautiful exchange. These two together are something I wouldn't have guested I'd enjoy as much as I did.
What did you guested originally?
@@brandonsbeta5162 Now, now. You're being obtuse. It's a difficult word.

The professor and the jokester
Well, comics are generally pretty smart and think about all kinds of things, and because humor can often be offensive, because you're making fun of something, often normal human behaviour or odd things or society in general, and live in that, you tend to think more or differently about some things. They both think a lot about people, emotions, humanity, life, etc.
And people not understanding what he says is a joke are just, well, morons. He touches a bit on it when he's talking about timing too, there are places and times you can say horrible things and they're just funny, but often you have to be quick with it, if you take 30 seconds to think of something and then say it instead of within a second, it'll come over waaaaay different. But still, he's doing a show, it's a joke. As soon as you think something is too bad or ridiculous to be true, it probably is, apparently some people are missing that insight.
I love Matt Rife. I'm so tired of the walk-on-eggshells, thin-skinned, passive-aggressive, goal-post-moving world that's evolved over the past decade.
Well said!
I used to think we were evolving but I'm afraid we're past that point. It's no longer evolving. It's settling. And too many people think they're very important these days.
People crave attention, and it's going to destroy us all. 😅
I wonder what would happen if they had a draft in the U.S. I wonder if these people would start to see that they don't have real problems.
"Goal post moving" is an absolutely accurate description. Wokeness is an insatiable beast.
Yep.
And these same people crying about a comedian making a knowingly facetious DV joke are all too often the same ones who directly and seriously argue against the culpability of literal hate crime first degree murders and kidnappings of Jews by Palestinians.
What an absolutely farqd moral compass and deranged mind you have to have to hold these 2 views at the same time.
Time to cancel "Cancel Culture."
Just sae Matt for the first time this week. Awesome!! And this interview was great! This man is going to be famous. Bet ya!
“This is the cheapest therapy session I’ve ever had.” 😂
Cheap or pro bono? 🤭
I was looking for this as well! Love him for his self-awareness and willingness to go deep! ❤❤❤
Absolutely..
He said Deepest... not cheapest...
The whole world of cancel culture needs to get this kind of the therapy to check themselves and possibly wake their asses up
I was in a DV marriage for 15 years. Nothing that Matt said offended, nor triggered me. I love Matt Rife. We all need to laugh. Laughter is the best medicine!
The Black Eye Joke Was Corny and Very NON Offensive...Women Say WHATEVER They Want About Men and Treat Them Any Way They Want and With Zero Negative Backlash...They BRAG About USING Men Because it is The NORM These Days
It is!!! It is like aspirin for my fever, aspirin for nausea, aspirin for tummy ache.
The only thing is doesn't seem to help for, is my compulsive masturbation... Although it must look awesome while doing it with the 10 tablets stuffed in my cheeks - the competition being which happens first - Asprin dissolving or the big O..
The whole point of comedy is to help us laugh at the things that aren’t funny in the natural world. It helps lighten the mood.
same. ty for this comment. fr. blessings all.

I never heard of Matt. I was here for JP. I’ve followed him for years. But now I’m a huge Matt fan. That joke. That link. Genius. I’m a woman. A smart woman. Lawyer. CEO. I love great comedy. That was genius. I’m on line buying tickets to his July Niagara Falls show.
Amazing how 2 people, without "agendas", can just have a normal adult conversation. I miss this sooo much. I'm getting closer to 60 now. And modern scamming, which I see as fake chatting, just saddens me so much. Most of my jobs involved service and so I've seen and heard too many. Now I drive tractors. Full sized delivery boy. But I don't have to bartend or wait tables and mostly watch and listen to men and women gaslight or play each other for whatever they are after. This conversation is refreshing indeed and helps my optimistic heart stay strong and just plain ole happy. So, Thank You to both of you for just being kind and sensible adults.
I love that comedians are just so relaxed in front of Dr. Peterson, they don't feel pressure to match the intellectual atmosphere and just speak to one of the most prominent minds of our generation like a friend, and in turn relaxes Jordan so we can see more whimsical and funny side of him. Hope more comedians come to Jordan's podcast to both heal themselves and help Jordan heal as well.
Not sure heal is what happens , from what is my thought? No matter, they are enjoying the time spent together it seems.
such a good observation. I hope he has Chapelle on and Kat Williams 🙏
Comedians are unbelievably intelligent. People think it's easy coming up with jokes
Often it´s because most comedians are incredibly cerebral and highly intelligent.
that's pretty much the job of a psychologist. I'm not knocking Peterson, I'm incredibly happy that the internet lets us see very valuable people who'd normally be locked in a room with patients or other specialists.
I love Matt Rifes humor and I'm a woman and laughed at that same joke he got "cancelled" over. I don't blame him for not apologizing and commend him for that as a comedian. He's such a smart comedian and he's got a huge future ahead of him. ❤
Even though my husband and I have a masters level education, we always told our kids to have minimum a grade 12 and then do what they like, because I love what I do! Glad you are doing what you like!
Kudos for not apologizing. The day comedians can't tell a joke about a particular issue (which, by the way, we all do every damn day), is the day comedians stop trying to make us laugh. What a sad day that would be. Keep doing what you're doing. Real people love you man!
And thank you Dr. Peterson for being real!
Imagine Red Fox, or Don Rickles. 😮
But a joke is meant to have a punch line and be funny u can’t just say sentences that are off putting and call it a joke and when someone says it didn’t land u do the “so nobody can even joke anymore” or “everything is offensive nowadays” and accept the fact that maybe it’s not that good of a material
@@brainrest1137irrelevant
@@brainrest1137you.

I never seen two people more genuinely engaged in conversation than when Jordan interviews a comedian. Love it.
Theo Von has the same effect. The discussion is more relatable and natural when broken up with humour to break the seriousness Jordan brings into conversations. A complementary jinyang.
Watch the interview with Theo & Tucker Carlson! It’s so good.
Women can make a whole carrier out of bashing men, main stream media can president hitting men as funny
No one has issues with that
I’d just really like these people to not be so one sided
If you are upset when people LIGHTLY make fun of women why don’t you get upset for men to
Ya i love jordan cause he finds everyone interesting. He literally wanted to understand a comedian
Every truly great comedian is a psychological philosopher.
Matt you are the funniest SOB I've ever heard! I'm a 56 year old woman that thought that joke was hilarious and the come back. I was abused physically for 25 years and got out of it. That has nothing to do with your humor and it made me laugh!😆 I love ya man you are absolutely hilarious!!!!! ❤❤❤ I could listen to you all day long
I'll be honest I didn't expect this conversation to be so refreshing and interesting. Matt seems like a really chill dude, but I also gained a new respect for Jordan to be able to interview someone so cleanly and express genuine curiosity.
This has the vibes of a teacher holding back his student to talk about his bad behaviour in class but they both actually find they have lots in common and have mad respect for each other 😂
Exactly :d
I couldn’t have said this better myself. And as a former teacher…I’ve had a lot of the conversation that you describe 😂
Hahah!! Love this perspective 😂
Mad respect yo! Dead ass! Wicked!
Exactly what im thinking…
I was reminded of a friend that was at the time living with stage 4 pancreatic cancer for about 3 years at this point. A birthday party was being held for him so as a gift I gave him a stuffed pancreas and when he opened it he ran around shouting "I HAVE A NEW PANCREAS!!!". It was hilarious.

This is such an amazing interaction! Who would ever know that these two beautiful people, from two different generations would be so respectful of each other and truly enjoying getting to know each other!🤗 Thank you! Loved watching this!
I wasn't a huge fan of the special myself, but I commend Matt Rife for sticking up for himself in a comical way. Doing comedy for the sake of comedy and not being apologetic for it.
His Netflix special was lacking, absolutely agree. His other specials were great, and his crowd work in general is amazing.
100, not a big fan of this special but love just about everything else from him. Not that I'm defending the complainers but I had an issue with that particular joke as well....if I beat u to the punchline of a joke and u open with it? That's a cancellable offense in my book 😂

Yeah, it's as Matt said, he is only 28. Thing is, I don't really know any 28 year old who is able to present something, whether it's science, art etc etc without heavy criticism. But also it's not something one should apologise about. Making mistakes is not something people should apologise for, unless it's done with the intent of hurting or it could quell potential anger amongst your peers who do not have malicious intent
His crowd work is WAY better than his special but I had a few chuckles for sure
I love when Jordan hears 'I disagree..' He seems to get happy, because he loves to learn, not prove you wrong. That's rare.
Peterson is a real treasure.
I caught this too! Loved that moment.

Two of my favorite people for two different reasons.
Both give zero funks about detractors. One is a slave to philosophical integrity, the other a slave to comic integrity. Their commonality is integrity.
Thank you both.
Two of some of my most favourite people, TOGETHER!!! Great Show!
When Matt said “it all comes down to intention” … he nailed it 1000% !
Too true, but let's not also forget the road to hell... ;)
Intention and responsibility. Both.
It was true when Patrice said it decades ago. Not knocking Rife at all. Sharp dude.
The absurd idea of "microaggression" allows wokesters to assign intention, though.
He wasn’t canceled for the joke. He was canceled because it wasn’t funny… Like his whole set, not funny.
I wouldn't consider myself a fan of Matt Rife, but he's gained my respect. And I love that JP is more energetic and less filtered when interacting with comedians.
Just came across this young man's comedy recently. The first thing I watched was the red flag special. HILARIOUS!!! Now, I gotta go find the special involving the joke mentioned here. Lol His kind of comedy is a breath of fresh air in this f'd up world. It's great to see a younger generation carrying on real comedy. ❤
I went and watched all of his videos! Im am so glad this is here. :)
Matt looks genuinely interested when Dr. Peterson talks. He doesn’t interrupt, he’s not rude, and he doesn’t try to out do Dr. Peterson. Great dialogue gentleman.
I also really enjoyed the pace of this conversation and their patience with one another. Never been a huge Matt Rife fan, but seeing him refuse to apologize for comedy makes me respect him more. Hope he does well and comes out of it all on top.

You know, I’m just thrilled seeing my 2 fav men together!
Matt Rife has been an intricate part of my daily routine. I have been laughing my *ss off that I am always smiling.
This collab is something different, Matt is like a Jordan's kid just listening and learning from him, and Jordan listening to his kid about his world. So special
Two men no one ever thought would meet, much less strike a balance between therapy and humor. It takes complete openness of spirit as well as just plain intelligence and complete self awareness.

His joke is literary hyperbole (a figure of speech in which the author uses specific words and phrases that EXAGGERATE an idea in order to create an emphasized effect).
This is the discourse I never knew I needed. Watching 2 intelligent humans with common sense converse has renewed, however temporarily, my faith in humanity. I have a new respect for Rife. I always had a ton of respect for JP.
My grandfather told me numerous times when I was growing up, "If you don't laugh, you'll cry." Laughter is the best way to deal with tough times and I have lived my life by it!
So true 👍🏾
Agreed, and love that sentiment
I will never forget this comment. ❤
Agreed. I don't find him funny, but I am kind of a comedian snob. If I can anticipate the premise, it kills the funny. He's young, I'll try him again in a few years.
@ellencox8415 I'm not a Matt Rife fan either. But I love that he isn't bowing down to the mobs. Comedy is meant to push boundaries, make you think, and laugh while doing it. I support his stand but I honestly don't watch any of his comedy. The few clips I've seen didn't have me laughing out loud like I want in a comedian... kinda like the Dane Cook of this generation. A good looking guy full of personality telling meh funny stories.
"If you don't like it, turn around, there's a whole world out there to explore". Can't wait to use that!!
Matt you are amazing NEVER CHANGE YOU AND YOUR HEART!!! I love your comedy and I'm disabled and you also help make it bearable and able to get through. PLEASE don't listen to haters, we know they are jealous and not near as gorgeous 🤣😘🤣
This was awesome - loved this exchange - keep it up. I like that Matt said, "I will never apologize for a joke". Way to go - total respect.
Jordan is at this best when he is talking with comedians
Birds of a feather...
The loony left is always outraged at whatever the media wants them to be. Our societal engineers control the media.
I have a fishing channel. Help me stop roofing for a living and make fishing videos full time
There's something profound about that. Because comedy is like a mirror, showing the reflection that is society. A great avenue through which to be philosophical.
Right!! ❤ But JORDAN IS JUST THE BEST…. Whenever he’s talking 🫶period.
JP The 🐐!!!

I am a domestic violence survivor and have spent the last year and a half doing physical therapy after broken bones, nerve damage, a failed surgery and I still have a long road ahead of me. I am also a fan of Matt's and watched his Netflix special the day it came out. I literally laughed at this joke that people are trying to cancel him for. I said to the people watching it with me, "that's f'd up but also funny." Humor is healing and it can be terrible and funny at the same time. I also believe it can shed light on messed up things. And the helmet link for the haters....that's hilarious.
Amen sister 🙏
Yea. He has been very clear about his morals in interviews so even if on dont like the joke, there is no reason to doubt his stance, thats why he joke of it. The jokes of judging trans, aids, wheel chair users etc arnt less on the edge. But very important topics to bring up.
The ability to make light of your own issues, to belittle them, to trivialise them, to laugh out loud at them is what signals your victory against them. It is what truly allows one to transcend being a victim and become a survivor.
@@AresFordwinthat that that.. spot on.
What a lovely thing to say. Brought a tear to my eye. Wishing you healed and happy years ahead
Excellent interview Mr. Peterson and Mr. Rife. You guys are inspirational. I hope you guys break the obsequious spell that our societies are entranced by.
Matt Rife and Andrew Schultz are the undisputed KINGS of Crowdwork! Geniuses really. Great interview Jordan! 👍✅
When my young brother was dying of cancer he made funniest and darkest jokes about his situation. He was a warrior with a kind heart but also a MF with the strength to laugh at the absurdity of his situation.
Wow love that
Human Beings...society at large have become odd creatures. Its the abundance of comfort that is afforded to us in this modern era that allows behavior like this.
I'm very sorry for your loss. Your brother sounds like a great guy. All the best to you and to your family. Regards from Finland 🇫🇮 ❤
Sign of true character. I'm sorry for your loss.
My grandpa was same
I'm a DV survivor, I saw him perform this live in Des Moines, and I laughed. If you can't laugh at your trauma, you can't get past it.
You think that everone was able to get past it when you did, or is it ok to be shit on for being abused at any time no matter what?
Easy for you to say as a survivor, try saying that to people who lost their children, sisters and friends to disgusting men who killed them in the end.
@@halversonnoel0 Don't like one joke from a comedian? MOVE THE FK ON. Simple. Not rocket science.
@@SniperDmn there's a huge difference between making a joke about terrible things which have happened to you and making light of terrible things which have happened to others. The latter is called punching down.
I think a good part of the triggered people are "offended in the name of". Pathetic people.
You, you overcame it, it is a win and now you can laugh.
Some are still in it, I doubt they take time to complain about a comedian.
Leaves the people whom lost someone to DV feeling pain and guilt, it is sad for them though no reason to bitch about comedy imho
The best thing I have seen today, I respect both guys and love their work and to see this collab ouuuff and the conversation is very relevant also tbh feel like Jordan is basically doing a therapy session for Matt lol 😂
I'm GenX & it was commonly known that exposure therapy was the best way to deal with anxieties, fears, phobias...for the long run.
Then came the safe spaces & trigger warnings...😑
I saw the show. I actually suffered domestic violence and I was NOT OFFENDED! It was a joke, and people need to stop being so literally. I loved your show Matt ❤️
Same.
People that get offended by jokes, need therapy or some mental health help.
💯
Me too!!!! (No hashtag) I make fun of my own beatings, what am I gonna do, spend the rest of my life weeping? I'd rather laugh.
I call BS. You are making up a story yo defend Matt. Gross. He won’t sleep with you.
Matt Rife is hilarious and always makes me laugh. Definitely not cancelled in my world. His comedy is in no way mean-spirited, and he’s shown us in many situations he has a very good heart.
Matt keep doing what you’re doing. Your fans will always be there for you!
No one is trying to cancel Matt, his special was just terrible and he's got to pretend it's because he's being "canceled"
@@chrisstubing5859exactly
@chrisstubing5859 bro is one of those smaller orangutan 😅😂
@@chrisstubing5859see that’s the thing.. just cause you think it’s bad doesn’t mean everyone else does.. it’s called an opinion and comedy can be subjective. Also people have definitely tried to cancel him.. it’s definitely a thing 😂
@@chrisstubing5859 You're the omnipotent judge ? Cool. Objective judge or subjective i wonder.
Matt, we LOVE YOU! You are by far one of the quickest witted comedians ever. The fact that you ad lib & engage the audience is what makes you so unique & beyond talented. I'll admit when I first saw you, I didn't get your humor yet, not finding it funny. After listening to a few of your stand ups, I literally laugh my phukin ass off!!! Listened to a few last night & my lungs hurt after! Your humor is risky, edgy but so clearly, obviously IT'S ALL ABOUT COMEDY. Comedians joke about all types of peoples, races, disability, gender etc BUT you do it in a way that's still tactful, respectful in beginning and end of your interaction. Love what you said about "scrolling past" or "not listening" for those that don't appreciate your humor. There's so many offensive things in this world, people need to keep scrolling!
You're absolutely amazing, you are going to go so far beyond where you're at. Love that you show affection to your fans. I'm sooooooooo sad I missed you when you came to MN 2 mos ago😫 Hoping you return soon❤🙏
Such bright shining lights. Surrounding you both with all the love in my heart to keep your souls in the light. Bless you both
Jordan Peterson is such a comedian himself. He really makes me smile. His ability to blend a serious topic and be playful around it is simply remarkable!
He really is. So is Elon. People sleep on both of their comedic timings tbh
He does a really good Jordan Peterson impersonation. He sounds exactly like himself when he talks in this video.
That's true. He does come out with some funny stuff. But he never acknowledges the jokes onstage. I hope Matt gave him some tips on how not to bury the punchline!
For so many years I haven't been subscribed to jp, but now I actually HAD to. The algorithm started filtering you out, I forced it to add more shorts of you. Now, here I am. Thank you jp for everything
He's our Buddha.
Thank you Jordan Peterson for being sanity in an insane world. And thank you Matt Rife for not selling out when most would’ve. The world needs more people like you both 🙏🏼
He specifically is selling out. He alienated his audience and now he has to chase the lncel teenager audience by latching himself onto JP's wagon of pandering to that demo. He'll just go all in on the edge-lord "funny because it's offensive" while not being actually funny style of comedy, and transform his brand into being a victim of cancel culture.
Great interview! Love you both!
U did a great job providing those seeking an in depth look at you and your background. You gave a solid explanation as to who you were and who you are tryin to create a successful career being. Great choice of platforms to share your story, it may just be the collab the fans and foes were'nt even aware they needed for you to increase your career to a new level! Your confidence is part of your attraction so dont let em have the power to dim it!
To start, I’m a Sikh, Indian, and my culture is important to me. Thought the past two years I’ve fallen in love with the comedy Matt Rife tells, it’s quick, witty and genuine, he’s not scripted, he’s a true talent. I hope you get to read this. I saw a comedy skit online that he did where he bounced jokes off a Sikh man making terrorists jokes. It was tough to hear at first cause my people have been attacked being called that before. For a moment I was mad with Rife, but then I remembered it’s a joke, he’s a comedian. While the joke is insensitive it was still just a harmless joke and seeing the fellow Indian man who was in the video happy made me happy. I then mentally set myself as if I wasn’t a Sikh and didn’t know the tension of what terrorism is to the Sikh community then I found the joke decent, not his best work but not hurtful to my being. People need to learn to separate their true selves when experiencing comedy. Sorry for a long comment wanted to share how I almost got offended but took the philosophy of not taking comedy at true value to myself as who I am
You have to know yourself and, I think, be ok with who you are to be able to separate who you are from something someone said, without taking it personally. And lemme say this now before I get ahead of myself, I wholeheartedly agree with you, I think it's one of the main reasons why people these days do get so upset over every little thing, is because they have no real values and they don't really stand for one thing or another- literal fence-sitters. So they don't have the ability to separate themselves, they get personally hurt- like, it's being said only to them. You are obviously intelligent enough to see and do this yourself, but sadly most people aren't.
Great job and great reply!!

I think you touched on something important which is taking a step back from indignation about your identity. Whether your identity is black, white, female, trans, Sikh, etc, especially as it relates to the field of comedy, obsession about your identity is something that will only hinder the experience of going for the "ride" that is listening to someone else's joke.
This is a great response. Comedy is a show. An act. And to be offended is just a selfish and egotistical. Unless he targets you specificly sure you can feel how you want but be a realistic man or woman and be bigger than that. Who care how you feel because if it's making people laugh you're spreading a good feeling to a crowd to be honest I don't like being targeted about anything that would bring up a negative emotion but it's a show it's meant to be controversial or something that you wouldn't take politely from someone on the street because it's not real it's just like TV it goes to extreme sometimes because we all have intrusive thoughts that we wouldn't act on but when someone can actually turn any scenario especially something negative into laughter then he's doing the job that you paid to go see it has to be expected especially in comedy it's great that you understand this laughter is the second most treasured emotion that you can share with others . And to push past any personal issue that might feel offensive to you is worth it as long as it's making people laugh only the truth matters assumptions are made by the comedian in his joke it's never personal it's for everyone. Right on man it's good to see that someone can actually take a joke
Sensitive Comedy?? What kind of a Sikh* joke is that??
Mad respect to Matt for his handling of the situation
Always stand your ground. No matter what. I love unfiltered comedy.
I havent seen a single joke from Matt Rife. Today is a new day. Im going to learn something new today. Thanks JBP.
Watch it on the toilet because you are going to pee a lot from laughter, trust me
Comedy is the biggest and first defense for Freedom of Speech in the modern day.
We need people like Matt Rife in the world right now. He has more connection with people and community than the individuals who claim to care about victims, yet only work to speak on their behalf.
Victims get no help when they can't be heard.
100% it's our time's most important art form imo.
I'm not actively looking for Domestic Abuse content. And without wanting to I saw more shorts and video titles talking about Domestic Violence. Sure, it was also talked about Matt but our focus shifted towards abuse.
@@ejcejc4113 It's not a new fight. It's just the continued fight for the Western world over the past year.
People should be able to express themselves. We can't see a problem until it's announced.
We document history to remember that we made mistakes and we'll continue to make mistakes, but we need to experience them to remind us what parts not to give power.
Civility is a philosophical belief. It needs to be practiced. Anyone who justifies violent reactions to anyone who doesn't agree with them isn't a Civil act.
Violence is the action of cowards. Words are the tool of the wise.
This is honestly the most unexpected people to be sitting on a podcast together and I am absolutely loving it
Matt, we would never ever turn you off because of your humor. With that being said, humor is exactly what it is and if someone does not like/appreciate then leave.
So happy you had this conversation. I for one didn't think there was anything wrong with his "joke". I laughed 😆 🤣 😂
I just binge watched a bunch of Matt's stand up. He's hilairious. I love that he unapologetically tells his jokes.
He’s good
Me too! 😊😅Big belly laughs!
He's definitely the next big comedian. He started off with viral tiktoks but he's definitely going to be more than just that
I’m LITERALLY watching an hours worth compilation of Matt Rife doing crowd work, and it is frikkin GLORIOUS. I’ve been watching comedians for years - even the ones before my time (80’s and 90’s) - and I genuinely believe Matt is at the top of the food chain.
His crowd work I loved the best was when he told the audience ~ "if you all had brought more black friends this wouldn't have been so awkward for you".
Loved it!!!
JP has a comedic talent all his own. It's more deadpan and cerebral than Matt's, but they're meeting each other on a common ground for this conversation. I loved this episode.
Low expectations. Same reason why religious leaders, particularly of the Anglican variety, are such a riot.
They're so serious all the time, that any crack in the metaphorical mask is magnified.
ummm...JP is as funny as an aspirin
Women can make a whole carrier out of bashing men, main stream media can president hitting men as funny
No one has issues with that
I’d just really like these people to not be so one sided
If you are upset when people LIGHTLY make fun of women why don’t you get upset for men to
@@jnewmark41you’re a fully grown adult male that starts an opinion with ummm like a teenage girl, I bet you have great taste, cute affliction shirt gurrlll💅🏻
@@jnewmark41 Therefore, you have a standard to measure up to.
My Gen Z daughter was telling me about this and I thought she was ridiculous for being upset. I didn’t know this comedian at all. Now I know him and love him! Gained you at least one fan! 😊
Very enjoyable! Love the "click here for an official apology." Great interview!
Matt is so real. He's by far besides a talented comedian, just a kind-hearted, intelligent man.
@@mojcam2688Wth what gives you that idea?
Dr. Peterson is the needed father of a fatherless society.
Wow! This comment just hit my soul!💜
Whew. Deep. ❤
How do we bottle this
Dr. Peterson is not an exemplar. And this guy-never heard of him.
Great I was finally able to find this interview subscribed 😎😎👍✌️
Absolutely loved this! ❤
Comedians and satire allow us to critically look at our society in a way that no other art form allows for. Keep doing what you're doing!
film, tv, and music don't exist in your world? lmao what
comedy recently is some fluffed up para-social garbage and millionaires complaining about being cancelled whilst advertising their almost sold out tour...
And apparently also art doesn’t exist to add to that….
Spoken like a petty liberal fascist...LOL@@ToxicatedLum
And I don't understand how anyone could claim that a "domestic abuse" joke is an attempt to gain MALE FAN(they're more sensitive over domestic, than chicks)?!
--I think the fained "outrage" is from the same bitter,self-loathing chicks that don't get comedy; looking for a new target, a "trendy" cause.
Any "fans" that easily triggered aren't fans of comedy, they're the ones that enjoy looking at him.
Golden!
It’s amazing to see how Jordan speaks to Matt and how much of an amazing conversation this is, I’m 27 and I still am surprised when people put down Jordan Peterson based on his misrepresentation by the media. You are an inspiration to us younger people who have open ears and open hearts
Peterson is put down (more whining) because of the stupid shit he says. Calling it media representation is idiotic.
🙏🏽💯
Jordan is a class act. And I feel like you can tell when he likes some one because he becomes more involved speaking in the interview.
Matt is such an incredible guy. He is funny and really quick whitted. Those that can't handle a joke then they need to stay off social media. I have a daughter that has disabilities and I find no reason to cancel him. I love laughing and love life those that can't laugh really need counseling to help with their past trauma.
Matt, sending love from Old Hickory TN, just outside of Nashville! Love your humor!!
I am close to 60 years old and I have seen greats like Fluffy, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinnison, George Carlin, Steve Harvey, Carrot Top, Wanda Sykes , Eddie Murphy and so many others in tv shows, Netlfix etc.. Matt Rife is in my top 3. Very relatable, respects his audience, has a great time and spends time with the audience afterward for pictures or whatever. Why would you want to cancel such awesome entertainment? Good luck Matt!!
