THE BRASS TACKS: Adam & Nick Get Down to Business on Matt Rife Scandal | The Adam Friedland Show

[@tafsclips]

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! I hear y'all it's Brass Tacks, not BRASS TAX! Make sure you all go like, notify and donate $1 to Nick's Special - "The Year of the Dragon" kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHPPgnWjatWFm7M. See you all in the chat on Sunday!

[@Gir-Riff-raffe]

What did you expect from a comic that was Dane Cookd into the limelight by a horny female fanbase? They built his career. They can definitely take him down. And the fact that rat turd dick Marc Moron doesn’t want to give any new faces in comedy a chance in his mind, now wants to weigh in on someone I know he’s never given a shit about till now? Excuse me if I don’t cringe my entire nutsack off. As free speech dies a weird death.
