RIFE ON THE ROAD: EP.6 DES MOINES, IA

Comedian Matt Rife travels to one of the country's top vacation destinations, Des Moines, Iowa. A bit of laughs, a bit of sport, and a lot of love. Enjoy!

[@Kiray278]

Damn, I don't know if he's fully aware of it while doing so, but I just feel like Christina really needed that confidence boost he was so ready to give her - and he did it so charmingly. For a woman who seems not entirely comfortable with herself right now, this must've been just really nice and I'm so happy he was so willing to put her in the spotlight without making her feel awkward. She's gorgeous and I wish her only the best. 💚

[@bigdogblast]

aw she is so sweet and you can tell she was embarrased by the squeak and he did give her that boost... i really hope they go on a few dates :):)

[@maebandy]

If they put a few shorts of this together for tiktok and yt it will go viral and she'll have a new plastic surgeon fiancé by Xmas.

[@maebandy]

And yes, she is so unnecessarily embarrassed by the faulty work of that other Dr but the unfortunate mistake only creates opportunities that highlight her humility and sweet nature. She's a squeaker and a keeper, and she'll fix them but she doesn't need to, unless they have pets. Oh, God,..I didn't even think about that. OK, fix them but you're gorgeous inside and out. You'll be more than fine. Just pick a good man out of the hoardes headed your way.

Shes gorgeous sweet and humble.... and im bringing cookies to see this man!😂

Very few comedians can do real improv like this comedian does.

[@Watashi_wa_robottodesu]

Is there a thing called fake improv??? Oh you mean to your standards.

[@B_Bodziak]

@@Watashi_wa_robottodesu No. When you're doing comedy off the cuff as opposed to delivering prepared material. "Improvisation" is in Webster's for your convenience.

Matt, I look forward to seeing your first Netflix special. You're gonna be a star kid!

[@B_Bodziak]

I hope he holds out until he has enough private backing to produce his own 1:25 production, and then sells it to Netflix, Amazon, ...it's about time HBO+ ventured down incorporating the comedy/comedian performance specials into their line-up. I'd gladly put up 100k to back his private production. I think he's better with audience interactions than sticking to his stage material. Either way, if he offers a 1.60 point return for 100k, sign me up.
