Matt Rife and Iliza Shlesinger Talk Comedy, Controversy, and Creativity | Two Ways About It

[@christopherbillups7562]

This is awesome. Amazing what happens when you remove the host from an interview and just have two interviewee's interview each other and tell genuine stories. I really love this format.

[@NopeNopeNopetyNope]

Iliza needs to win an award for her excellent posture. Her spine was so straight and her shoulders were back. Matt is so good at switching between being dominant on stage and submissive to people he recognizes are older/wiser. He is terrible at drawing people though - he made Iliza look like an anonymous pancake. Thank god he's good at comedy and acting.

[@michele_carlson]

Anonymous pancake 🤣🤣🤣.. OMFG... I'm dead🥞😆!

[@StartwithHeartCPR]

The homosapien from museum of natural history comparison was spot on lmao

[@TimboSlyce30]

This comment is so damn funny 😂😂

[@neutchain7838]

Just wanted to say that I really appreciate your comment. I like observant people who look at stuff most others brush over like their posture, their behavior or "role" in a conversation, etc..

[@NopeNopeNopetyNope]

@@neutchain7838 What a nice compliment - thank you!

[@summer-roseknight]

No way! Two of my favourite comedians in the same room! Also, that little smile of his when she asked him about her relative at the start made me LOL

[@michellereilly979]

2 of my favorite comedians together!! I didnt know I needed this😂

[@thomasr7129]

My thoughts exactly. :)

[@tjdime]

WoW, what a TREAT to see these two in conversation together. Only became aware of Matt recently and fully enjoy his moments. Iliza I have been watching a while. They both have temendous energy.

[@SavvyGeeksPodcast]

She’s so well articulated

[@dakotac180]

Iliza is a beast, very underappreciated. Matt is sweet and funny.

[@georgepitcher136]

Iliza is not only hilarious and a top notch comic - she's a great writer.

[@ParaplegicKeanuReeves]

Just glad she got over that psychotic breakdown short haircut. Thought she was playing for the other team

[@HweeTengLee]

The drawings hahahahaha! I'm so glad they are comedians. Love both of them.

[@LaurieWeber-ub6sc]

This made me so happy, my two most favorite modern day funniest comedians. Love you both!

[@musemoray]

Matt Rife was the sweetest man when speaking to. Very kind and respectful. You will fall in Love. No doubt. There is no choice for me.

[@lisashelley3051]

Your right. 64 years old woman in love with Matt. His comedy is quick wit hysterical. Right up there with the late great Robin Williams. I love his interactive shows.

[@shanawilliams4525]

Those photos were hilarious 😂 Happy Birthday Matt🎉

[@joshgardner5349]

photo stands for photograph , these are paintings or portraits.

[@shanawilliams4525]

@joshgardner5349 who tf cares!

[@jezzica007]

What a combination of talent! I ❤Iliza and really appreciate Matt. Great double interview 👏

[@lucyj806]

Her vocabulary is so vast!!!

[@captainfantasticmcawesomev3381]

As a musician it’s so funny hearing them talk about about writing, material, feedback and it’s essentially the exact same thing. These two in a natural environment is soo calming too!! What a clip!!

[@nclaus0001]

I love this man❤ He is so genuine and kind. He is literally a gift from God❤

[@BrianMorin-t3c]

Thank you for creating the space for these two to be themselves. And creativity is in their own eyes. Beautiful time well spent🎉🎉❤❤

[@artofdisguy3401]

Steve Hofsteder another internet comedien to watch, older and underrated

[@deloreshoschouer1948]

Great show...you guys click! Happy Birthday Matt!

[@heatherrounds6550]

Very good talk between these two! Open and honest, no BS, very good conversation.

[@Karen-g2d4o]

This was very interesting! There's a ton of multi-tasking going on here and not easy to talk about yourself with someone and do art amazing! Lydia 🎉

[@instaperil]

Sorry when Matt Flirts on stage during crowd work thats amazingly funny and makes him so attractive.

[@eugenefleming1614]

Thank you, love these Two they work so hard

[@McKevittS]

Anyone know what word they say is making a come back at 11:43?

[@Infinity_Bent]

Ilse is so intelligent and Matt seems really open to her mentoring. Articulation, respect.

[@TheJaca25]

Two of my favorites, hilarious!!

[@monpetitrouge]

The painting reveal is just priceless. 🤣🤣🤣

[@kerenhidrovo8285]

Literally two of my fav comedians! ❤

[@racheltortilla8631]

That was fun to watch! ❤

[@TeresaG]

2 of my favorite comedians!

[@melissaeuler1125]

Happy birthday Matt!!!!

[@lisashelley3051]

nclause0001 you are so right. Matt is a gift from God. God obviously has a bawdy sense of humor. Now the woman with him here I have never heard of before but I have now. So im going to KZbin the hell outta her.

[@fleursdumal8065]

Iliza, you did a bomb job. Looking at that without knowing who you were painting, I could get there that it w3as Matt.... IDK what he was going for but you win this round girlie!!

[@lisashelley3051]

I think Matt ( the kid is so adorable ) was too busy conversating to even finish his painting. He had to ask the host "so what are we doing here" His comment of "you make me look like I have tusks 😂"

[@davidlongo7391]

Matt, You should come to Louisville, KY. We would like very much to come to a show.

[@blazingphoenix1000]

2 of my favorite comedians together omg yes 🥰😍

[@yvonnecallus4847]

This is so hilarious 😅😅😅😅 👏👏👏👏 Matt you're awesome

[@XaniaKorinec]

Wow, Iliza looks so good. I thought she was like 33-34 or something.

[@lightningbuster]

My two favorite comedians in one room.

[@AnastasiyaAidyna]

two my favs in one video....)))))) amazing evening!)

[@kennethmullen-qe9hg]

For an added touch there at the very end, the captions had changed Matt saying, "I look like a warthog," to him saying, "I look like a Warhol"! Lmfao!!

[@Luxfashionfinder]

Sooo good! Hahah the paintings 😂😂😂😂

[@yankyboy2000]

I love Ilisa, her specials are great.

[@mmorrissey41]

Great conversation!

[@beavercleaver6294]

Seems to me that being around both of these people would just be cool. lliza seems like the cool older sister.

[@LandscapeAhoy129]

Pulling less than 900 views over 6hrs with Matt Rife is wild lmao

[@sherlynn7211]

How fun is this!! LOL !

[@samuelajones]

This was fun and educational

[@lushrimbaughiii]

Just two attractives acting casual

[@rachelmire5488]

Iliza and Matt are 2 of THE MOST TALENTED comics that touch a stage today (also, my 2 favorite comics)❤ They both make me laugh till I cry and then laugh some more!!! I hope they NEVER stop doing what they were gifted!!! But I miss Matt on "Wild n out"!!!!!❤❤❤😂😂

[@daurissacrank3270]

Happy Birthday Matt 🎉

[@Arcturuseyes]

Hey, Matt, I really liked The Burbs

[@Arcturuseyes]

Both of these comics are hot

[@EinarOfBC]

lol... feel bad for Eric Griffin! "You were the first comedian I met in LA... I was with Eric Griffin"

[@ryanrobinson188]

Iliza should play in the movie about the Hawk Tuwee girl..... 😂

[@robertharper2158]

F-ing brilliant!

[@lindsaymacali9094]

Happy birthday to you!💖🎂

[@Peacemaker-er3tl]

She really is pretty.

[@michaelbraum77]

I LOVE both of these comics and wish them the longest careers possible. I remember voting for Iliza on Last Comic Standing. Or something like that.

[@coppersense999]

I like how the teacher doesn't know who they are she's like Matt and Eliza, is it? Lol

[@jpizzleforizzle]

Girl, you didn't draw Matt. You drew Carrot Top.

[@MattHunX]

I always thought that comedic bits can't really be brain-stormed. Sitting with a note-pad, or in front of the computer with a word-processor, or in a session over a table at a meeting. It has to come naturally. It may be a slower process, sure.

[@backroadsofeasternwashington]

I want to be a comedian just for the hangout

[@juddhughes2487]

I’m in love lliza , she’s so beautiful it’s unbelievable

[@jspaulding4106]

That was fun.

[@aaronblackford981]

I have never watched this channel. Interesting. The art, well sucked, but that’s not the point. Maybe first time for me to watch. These two actually are friends. It’s hard for me to name two comedians that actually hate each other for this or that but find that and make them paint and talk. It changes people.

[@aishashrif185]

I think paint and talk is difficult.😂😂😂

[@barrydlive4602]

So is chewing gum and walking, at the same time 😮

Happy birthday baby

[@64bitUnity]

What is the point of the "artist", not question her skill... Just her relavance to this show.. To what they are doing.. Like why are you interrupting this???

[@RichardQuadling]

I hope they both have them framed at home!

[@Irevoltnow]

All I can say is they better stick to their chosen careers.

[@kjpete3]

Carrot Top vibes lol

She painted Carrot Top 😂

[@shadinadeguzman9497]

why the description of the video says "2 legendary..."??? iliza IS but matt hasnt been around that long...come on!! yes, hes funny but hes not legendary

[@Kanoog]

Rife is the most self absorbed person, can't really think of anybody else.

[@AnandaSea]

When you can dance well, it means you can also sing. Evidently, when you're a great comedian, your drawings are absolutely hilarious and ugly af. 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤ 😊 There needs to be a warning next time !! I was scarred for life. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 jeezus h christ

[@AnandaSea]

My opinion is irrelevant ❤😂

[@ichiman715]

I like the format but let em talk Geez.

[@AM2PMReviews]

I love Liza but why was she so argumentative when on Joe Rogan? She seemed to not like that compared to this.

[@PolydactylLlc]

I have never heard of this woman

[@margicates553]

Well than you live under a rock. She’s has at least 4 specials, multiple books and she was on last comic standing.

[@Erica44q17]

[@mkwilson38]

Two of the most mainstream comedians talk to each other. A pretty cool guy and a…… ummmm…. Nevermind.

[@texastrader8074]

Iam I the only one that think matts hair looks like a duck...... Lliza comedian I would want to go get a bourbon with.......... They both go to the gym........

[@justnature1900]

This was cute but illiza has gotten less and less funny to me with each special.. my opinion

[@nessnixtony]

Here, let me fix that for you: "Every few years there's a wannabe comic (like Dane Cook) who unscrupulously steals, appropriates, or recycles older comics' material for an unsuspecting younger audience on a new platform where they can get away with it because the older folks who could call them on aren't around to narc them out." 🤣🤣🤣

[@MichaelWilhelm-bt5tp]

I have a different take on what this writer has said I get what your point is but I'm not sure that's the correct take on on the total the total perspective and the total Aura of what was said between the two yes you're right about older people's some older people's material and that has said in the past that he's a Dane Cook fan it's one of his most favorite people that he's studying also some other contemporary comedians like the black guy and I can't remember his name off the top of my head I can see his face and I know what I'm just having a senior moment but anyways there's nothing wrong with current comedians current performers going old school to tap material that used to be extremely extremely popular and not well known because of the unavailability of mass media distribution and KZbin and videos and a lot of times performers existing or new on the scene performers went to older material and older clubs comedy clubs and stages in auditoriums where past singers past performers past anything to do with entertainment where they would go into Old clubs or into the older clubs or like for example a rat pack Sammy Davis Jr and Frank Sinatra Dean Martin and whoever the fourth person was that I'm forgetting people would go and study them and then make do spin-offs of their material with attribution to to who they who their influencers were and who their most informative and most impressive and most influential entertainers where that got them to where they are today and that has done that Matt has always been good on attribution and bringing things to light when asked about how did you get your start how did you get your material you know he said he's started in Columbus Ohio and he did comedy a comedy club of sorts I don't forget to exact name but I know exactly where he started and he has he's his Grandpa's Papa his papa he's given total attribution for all the credit goes to papa for allowing him to sneak into clubs at 15 and try to get on stage by working with the owners of the clubs etc etc so Matt is not shy about about giving the credit to all the people who went before him and were major influences on him I've seen multiple KZbin videos regarding this so he hasn't really stolen someone else's material and it's repeating in a different format than and that older there's not enough older people out there to call him out on it there's that's what I disagree with you about you don't have to call someone out on the use of material from way back Matt has not in this interview but mad has given complete attribution for his influencers the places he's been the clubs he's been the the friendships he's had with Dane Cook and other comedians the one-on-one discussions he said he's never never ever scared away from that but it doesn't come up every interview and it doesn't come up like the discussions back and forth between him and this violent young comedian today this lady he doesn't bring up every past detail he doesn't need to because there is enough already existing background material where maybe this first writer of the critique maybe that writer did not know that if that's the case I give the writer a pass for the comments but should the writer have known what I just said and should the writer have presented his review as if he never knew what he wrote then it and if he did know

[@MichaelWilhelm-bt5tp]

If the first writer did know that Matt did previously attribute his past influencers then he sort of misdirected his critique at the end to present a different view - - it has a different tone to it that I don't like but I do respect what the writer wrote and I do understand from where he is coming from.. I'll give him that I'll give him that for at least trying to stir a discussion which his comments did flow!

[@MichaelWilhelm-bt5tp]

In my comments above toward the end I use the word I did use the word Violet Violet not violent but violent the word violence in quotes came into a print when I use the microphone to initially put all my comments out there so the audio translator took the word Violet and made it violent so I just want to get that out there so that readers don't come hard on me about that there's some other things like that prior to that specific mentioned in the text there's some other minor things that audio recorder didn't translate quite correctly into type but I'm not going to go through each and every one of those too pick out every particular instance where that did occur all in all I like what did make it to print I did have a chance to edit one final paragraph block by adding on additional comments and I don't know if it was the same review or one that just was written prior to what I'm saying now but anyways you I think you all get the idea of what I'm trying to say thanks a lot for allowing me to elaborate and explain

[@ninjasharkstudiosandmerch]

Idk if she's still married, but she clearly wants him. It's very obvious lol.

[@michele_carlson]

I love these 2!! It's so awesome that they get to just chill out & still got to talk about how they 1st met as comedians & how they both were able to start out in LA, and even to this day. Love ya @mattrife & @lliza !! Hope to meet y'all someday in the near future! 🥲💯💜🙌 🫠
