Was Matt Rife Ever Funny? | Sad Boyz 

I feel like they missed a lot of relevant context on the Matt Rife controversy. Specifically, his comments on various podcasts about not really liking that his fanbase is so female, saying that he thinks a lot of women don’t like him “for the right reasons” (our tiny lady brains can’t understand comedy; we just like him because he’s hot!) and him explicitly saying that his special is for the guys. The discussion is a lot more gendered than him trying to appeal to the old school comics vs Gen Z. He specifically resents his female audience and wants to be accepted by the boys. He’s biting the hand that launched him to fame because he thinks it’s embarrassing to be a comic for girls.

you ever notice how domestic violence jokes always have the victim be the punchline? they dont tell that shit for comedy, it's just to uphold status quo

The thing I hate about modern comedy is you can't call something unfunny without being called "soft" or people claiming you want to cancel them. I'm not offended, it's just not funny

just so y'all are aware, matt rife is not autistic. i think he's said he has anxiety i think? but as far as i know and could find online, he does not have autism. i pretty much could tell he isn't just by him asking that woman "how far on the spectrum" her son is, because it's pretty common knowledge among autistics that the spectrum isn't a line from 'less autistic' to 'more autistic', it's a spectrum of symptoms and how they may or may not present in each autistic individual. just wanted to provide that info, much love to you boyz

matt rife always went for the lazy jokes, his comedy is very "girls do this - guys do that" and it's nice to see people finally catching on to the fact that he's basically just a mid frat boy outside of a few good instances of well executed crowd work imo

As someone who has been through DV it isn't the joke, it's the blatant trade off of his female audience that he deems as inferior because he is insecure about being unfunny.

I’m like 99.9% sure Matt Rife doesn’t have autism, his autism bit wasn’t awful but it definitely wasn’t coming from a comedian with autism lmao

The Matt Rife situation is mirroring the “female gaze guy” situation a bit imo. A bunch of people on TikTok find him hot, overlook his lack of any significant skill or talent, find out he’s the kind of guy who thinks violence against women is funny, and lose interest in him when he doubles down on being an unpleasant creep.

yay perfect to watch while i crochet

Jarvis saying he's a bit of a rules follower after having a tangent about him being in the safety patrol is just straight up funny

I love the running tradition of always having a conversation about what cowboys do at the beginning of every podcast. Genuinely very entertaining.

Looks like I'm putting off my 10 page essay another 1 hour, 15 minutes, and 52 seconds

"What is your goal here?" is the most politely savage callout. I'd just have to move out of the country 😅

the hard cut after jarvis says he’s going on a first date had me cracking up, you can tell he got too excited and said too much or something 😂 this was a great episode

Hello! I know a decent amount about cowboys/vaqueros! -They moved cattle over vast distances for ranch owners/haciendas so the cattle would always have access to fresh food -They would have to ride horseback to better keep up with and control the cattle -contained primarily (I think but I'm like, stoned so don't consider me an expert) black and Mexican men -are/were heavily romanticized and its kinda hard to fully know how they actually lived their lives -they typically moved from ranch to ranch to work

A few months ago I somehow ended up watching Matt's first special and I didn’t think it was terrible, but I got the vibe that he was going to go downhill pretty fast because he set up most of his jokes with this "I'm gonna make jokes about everyone because that’s true equality" caveat and it was very much a yellow flag

It’s very important for Matt Rife that we know that he’s too cool to hang out with people his own age or race because he’s just above that stuff. He could NEVER take a 30yo woman seriously either because they need to be his momma’s age for him to care. Also he’s the coolest white guy that’s ever lived and as an American he explains this by constantly reminding us of how many black friends he has. He is cute but he’s trying so hard to not look like he’s trying so hard. lol

“Maybe you aren’t transcendent” is one of the wisest takes I’ve heard on this whole situation. Fully agree

I had seen Matt in a few clips, not doing crowd work, but telling some jokes. I thought they were fine, but I felt weird about the way he talked about his looks. Then, I saw a clip of him on a podcast just being absolutely disgusting about women, so he’s been a strong no thank you for a while.

As someone who is on the asexual spectrum, the early relationships discussion is a fascinating insight to me

Matt Rife's TikTok presence is mostly fine, but his full sets have kind of always been like this.

I really hope that younger males are listening to you guys. Because y'all are great examples of people who have a great sense of humor but also a good example of what it means to be respectful to women.

i got blocked by matt rife for responding to a comment on his insta agreeing that his special was boring haha i didn’t even mention that i think it wasn’t right to make the dv joke i just said it was boring also there’s more to the backlash matt is getting than just that joke. he’s said very demeaning things about women on different podcasts and talks about how his comedy is “for the boys”. he talks about how he’s “too attractive to be funny” and talks about how much he hates his female audience without acknowledging the fact that without them, he wouldn’t be nearly as popular as he ended up getting. i think he’s just very immature and trying to cater to a very specific audience that’s imo outdated

as a sad boyz listener with both adhd and ehlers danlos syndrome, it's cool to hear you guys talk so openly about your experiences with both :)

47:53 THAT HARD CUT WAS THE MOST HILARIOUS THING IVE EVER SEEN 💀 Jarvis being giddy about going on a first date is the cutest thing 😂

I’m pretty sure Matt isn’t autistic, but it’s possible I missed something. He did some crowd work if I remember correctly where he talked to a mom with an autistic child. Glad you guys are covering him because I’m not a huge fan of him lol

you guys are so conscious with your trigger warnings and it's really heart warming to see. it doesn't interrupt your flow at all and feels really natural and I think it's really great you do it

Matt actually mentions in the special that he loves old people and hates people his own age, which is pretty telling

As an avid makeup lover their makeup segment was very wholesome and accurate. A small wipe is absolutely not the way to go lmao

ok this is gonna be so super mushy gushy snowflake but i really appreciate how you guys are sensitive as to when things should have a trigger warning and that you give a timestamp where we can resume if we need to skip a certain part. as a viewer with a few phobias and general unresolved trauma, it makes the pod and the community you guys have built feel like such a safe and comfortable place where my wellbeing is actually considered and valued and it means a lot❤ sad boyz supremacy

Jordan I am SO GLAD you talked about your EDS diagnosis & experience! I have been a long term fan and I started tearing up because I have Classical Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, COL1A1 variant and I am so fucking grateful to see representation🥹 I’m also autistic & I have 14 other co-morbid chronic illnesses on top of the genetic one, thank you for talking about your experience as a fellow Zebra! I’m 21 and I was diagnosed with cEDS at 18 and it was LIFE CHANGING to know that my “random” symptoms from all the chronic illness and other diseases are all connected to the genetic one! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being vocal about your rare disease diagnosis! Love you guys

Honestly shocked the “apology” link isn’t a link to his own merch

fellow eds haver but just now getting diagnosed at 24 and in a state where there’s few doctors who even know what it is, major props to jordan’s mom for getting you looked at so early on, it’s cool to know one of my favorite youtubers is a fellow zebra! :] good luck with the sleep apnea treatment u end up choosing!!

As someone with EDS and ADHD (and autism I pulled every disorder card) y’all’s input is literally incredible my EDS has been deteriorating and I’m literally only 18 to a debilitating point (mobility aid gang rise up 😅) and to hear another person talk about it is really incredible like just knowing your whole life something’s wrong and everyone goes “nothings wrong” only to find out infact EVERYTHING is wrong is so frustrating Thanks y’all for everything you do and sharing all this info!

I relate so much to the not realizing that you have symptoms that you definitely are experiencing every day. I think that having ADHD makes me an unreliable narrator to my own body. Before I stopped eating gluten I was horribly fatigued and depressed and feeling awful and was asked if I had any gastrointestinal symptoms and I confidently said “Nope!” And then the doctor asked if I ever got nauseous and I was like “oh…yeah…I violently dry heave in the parking lot every morning when I get to school.” Totally did not register to me that doing that was abnormal 😂

Whenever some comic makes a joke at the expense of women's suffering i think of the time in highschool when i watched the fantasia autobiography movie. It was right after she was assaulted and we were all making sympathy noises. One guy just says "why y'all sad? She was made to be r---ed" with a chuckle and it was dead silent after. Even his friends that usually liked to make those kind of jokes with him just looked away from him.

Thanks for the EDS representation Jordan! I’m glad to hear people talk about it

Not usually someone who leaves comments, I also have EDS and straight up started crying my eyes out when Jordan started talking about his own experience with it. With a chronic disability, feeling less like you’re alone means everything, especially when you’re nearing 30 and can feel your body crumbling from underneath you.

When Jordan first started this “Howdy” bit i wasn’t a fan but his dedication to it has won me over

Dark humor is fine. But thats the key, HUMOR. The joke has to actually be a joke.

I genuinely enjoy Jordan’s howdy every episode

It tells you how fast things move nowadays when your first exposure to a comedian is all the videos saying he doesn’t deserve the praise he just started getting. Man blew up and fell off in one fell swoop!

only a few minutes in but i 100% agree with you jarvis on the dog breed thing. every dog has a unique personality but its breed is SUCH a determining factor for its behavior, y'know? like my dogs are boxers, which is a breed orignally bred for bullbaiting. so while both my dogs are genuinely the sweetest and silliest pups ive ever known, they're VERY high energy. when they play they tend to rough house, or chase each other around (i s2g if we had a smaller yard our furniture would've been destroyed by them stress chewing 😭). plus they're prone to boredom, but they love spending time with their humans, so they enjoy training a lot. but they also hate repetition so we can only train them for short bursts olay mostly i wanted an excuse to talk about my dogs, BUT you're absolutely right. even if most families don't use a dog for labor anymore, dogs still have job instincts bred into them (collies herd, retrievers swim, terriers dig, etc). those urges and instincts need to be taken into account during training

i wrote a whole comment about the autism joke clip but then I did some googling and I can't find anything saying Matt Rife is autistic. He has an autistic nephew, though, and talks about him, so maybe Jordan is mixing those two things up? Watching the clip thinking that he was autistic was a very different experience from watching it knowing he's a family member of an autistic person. I have a joking grudge against allistic family members of autists-I think quite a few autistic people do, because of the way that a majority of family members talk about their autistic relatives. At this point I just get annoyed at people bringing up the fact that they have an autistic son/brother/cousin even if what they say isn't offensive because I'm so tired of the way that (not all) allistics speak about the autistics in their lives. It's hard for me to explain but I know that there are a lot of articles/blogs about this topic from other autistic people. The biggest problem I have with the clip (under the impression that he is not autistic) is his question of how "far" he is on the spectrum. If he's autistic, I can write it away as a joke that I don't find funny and don't think he should have said to an allistic person. If he's not autistic, then he's making a joke based on a black-and-white misconception of what the "autism spectrum" means and spreading that misinformation to an audience of mostly allistics. I had more to say about the mother's response and the treatment of nonverbal autistic people but I felt like I was lecturing an imaginary person. Anyway I don't think he's autistic and I don't think allistic people should be making comedy about autism. Leave it to us please! Please. Please. (Not @ you guys)

It's crazy how different every dog is. My family just adopted a rescue from the pound and he has really bad anxiety. He can't be left alone because he'll cry and literally hyperventilate. We weren't aware of this when we got him-but he might have just developed that from being abandoned he worries we will leave and not come back. Luckily there is always someone home for him I work online and my sister is disabled, so they both keep each other company. We joke my dog is a baby because we carry him around like one and he acts like a baby. He's brought so much joy to our lives. He looks exactly like our old dog but our old dog couldn't have given a f if we lived or died he was a lone wolf. Dogs are so fascinating to me they're always either idgaf I'm basically a cat or I'm literally a baby plz.

People got upset with him last year because of some other pretty terrible sexist/racist jokes- I feel like the DV joke was just retaliatory at this point. Every time he goes viral for his crowd work, there’s also the “FYI this dude sucks and here’s why”- so he opens the show with a blatant dig against his critics to “make sure the crowd is cool.” Just very boring, petty dude imo.

Hi Jarvis!!! I recommend looking up "engagement games for dogs" or the "look at that" game! You can use Dipper's prey drive to make him more attentive. He can learn that when he minds you, the reward is getting to look at the squirrel! That way he still gets to fulfill his drives, but in a controlled and cooperative way :)

hey Jordan! my grandma has sleep apnea and according to her, getting diagnosed and getting a CPAP is one of the greatest things she's ever done in her whole life. I'm excited for you, and I know that getting treatment is going to be a game changer :)

Thank you for posting so I don’t have to watch Matt rife content out of morbid curiosity

Heyyy EDS representation!! Thanks for talking about your health thing Jordan it’s really cool to hear about other people who also have EDS. The thing about recontextualizing everything after a later diagnosis is so real. Welcome to the EDS club!! Also I’ve also been getting some testing done for sleep apnea recently, it’s actually fairly common with EDS wich is super fun lol so yea thanks for talking about this, nice to hear someone else talk about this stuff, it can feel isolating sometimes but hearing others bring it up is nice :)

As someone who has a collie (Australian Shepard mix) I will say they are incredibly loyal to very specific ppl (primarily those who train them) high energy, so cuddly and really smart. She was pretty okay to train because she was trained as a baby, but she is incredibly manipulative to those who she doesn’t respect aka ppl who don’t uphold her rules/expectations. Highly reccomend if u want a needy homie who loves you deeply

so glad someone finally made a video about this dude

Matt Rife’s specials have always been middle of the road. Makes statements that are socially acceptable that ppl applaud to, while also sprinkling in riské jokes to potentially spark controversy. Feels like he’s checking off boxes in a very artificial and formulaic balancing act. Kind of funny, but nothing that actually makes me laugh out loud like his snappy improv crowd work responses.

Jordan, I have ADHD and EDS and was diagnosed with both in the last year or two. I am 35. It has been crazy how much I am thinking about my life and trying to give myself grace retroactively. It changes so much! Also, totally understand the sitting and moving around and how your body doesn’t feel very reliable.

the reason comics post crowd work clips is bc it doesn't burn their material, no body is buying tickets to a show they have already sean in 2 minuet clips online.

As a female comedian, it's so easy to fall into only talking about sex and I'm happy my group of up and coming folks just talk about like astrology and anime and shit 😊

Hey Jordan and Jarvis, I found yall a few months ago to have something to watch while "studying", but honestly listening to you guys speak makes me feel like you'd both make amazing youth workers. You guys are great and are both very wise, well-spoken, and empathetic people. Thank you for all the work you put into being open, honest, and kind. Much Love, from Canada's smallest province, PEI

I am mega sick right now to the point where I can’t sit at my desk to play games without being in physical pain. Great to have something to listen to while I lay in bed motionless

bro seeing matt rife getting shit on is so funny, because I first saw him on wildn' out. and he first started to get a lot of hate after trying to kiss zendaya during a part of the show. that dude is so weird and not that funny.

i bought the colorblock sweatshirt the first time it dropped and i was scared at first to wear it because i have body image issues when it comes to non darker clothes. I really like vibrancy and i wanted to try something new and finally tried it on and it took me awhile to get used to but i got a lot of compliments and its also one of my favorite pieces of clothing, thank you so much for making the color block shirt, i genuinely think its helped me become more confident with wearing brighter colors.

Hey guys! I always appreciate you guys taking so openly about your health and advocating for care. Your talking about your sleep apnea diagnosis inspired me to get tested. Turned out I’d gone almost a whole minute without breathing and was having 6+ events an hour. I just want to thank you for helping me improve my life. Also! I’m wearing my TMB hoodie while I enjoy this!

the dating discussion is awesome, especially for me stuck in the weird aspec limbo of wanting to date, but also not liking anyone in that way :3 (and I missed all of early-mid high school for depression/trans reasons, so I always feel very lost)

i randomly got recommended a youtube channel where they were talking about how the "Special Ed Helmet" joke was suuuuper funny, and all the comments were agreeing. it was weird to see but i also realized that once people (especially a group) think a joke is funny, there's no way to convince them it isn't funny. if i tried say i don't think it's funny, i would have gotten "you're just bitter b/c you're a woman" it's a losing game. but honestly anyone could come up with that tier of joke

some context for the last few minutes - matt rife did actually do the traditional stand-up comedian route, he's done over a decade on the comedy club circuit but only blew up by accident after posting crowd work clips on tiktok during the pandemic.

holy shit one of my favorite influencers has EDS‼️i struggle severely with EDS and it’s honestly amazing to see someone talk about it outside of a clinical video

Sleep apnea gang what uup! I have a CPAP machine and was diagnosed at 27. I didn't realize I had it until a partner pointed out that I was snoring super loudly and making choking noises lol. I would sleep like 10 hours, wake up, and need a nap. When I got the study done, I found out my snoring was on decibel-level with "a nearby train" or "a garbage compactor." I'm grateful to say I've now had my CPAP machine for three years and get the best sleep of my life. Fun fact: I also realized I have ADHD as an adult, after getting my sleep sorted. Finding out time blindness was the term for what I experienced was so validating. All of this is to say: I am really proud of you both for taking care of yourselves and getting support. Thanks for another great episode!

52:11 this reminds me of the Ashley Gavin stuff. Also it just seems like we’ve collectively forgotten what stand up comedy is, the only thing that is remembered is that you are not suppose to interrupt someone on stage. Most people are waiting to “pop off” on an asshole that’s truly in the wrong or at the very least we’ve all rehearse comebacks to shit situations we have to endure….. it’s easy and requires no comedic skill to RESPOND to a heckler we are all rehearsing that all the time, it’s a lot harder to stand on stage and create comedy one your own. It’s almost like that’s the skill. Also to be a total asshole, the way Rifes face is arranged gives me the creeps, it’s like a toned down Jim Carrey Grinch face

Congrats!! I’m so excited for the live show! My dad’s going with me and then we’re going to a concert after :)

No. He’s never been funny. Crazy thing is too, I was JUST talking to my husband on the phone about something like this/nonblack guys like this, RIGHT before this video pops up. Lol I was talking to him about how white & other nonblack men, but ESPECIALLY white men, who I’ve seen talking to my boyfriends/husband now, LOVE to talk down on their wives/girlfriends to try to impress them!! My husband agrees too. You can 10000% tell that they’re calling their women a btch & just talking about how much they use her & don’t really care for her, all in an effort to impress black men! & I’m just sitting there thinking “have you EVER heard this man I’m with EVER call me the b word or talk down on me at all, or calling any woman the b word at all”.... smh my men have never been that type & never would be because I’d never ever be with a man like that & so I know for a fact they never called me the b word or talk down on me to other people at all, not in front of me or behind my back, ESPECIALLY my husband, he doesn’t call any women the b word nor has that been a tendency of ANY of the men I’ve ever been with, yet they STILL think that’s going to impress these black men when they do it... it’s so strange to us. It’s crazy how they think that’s going to impress black men who specifically do NOT talk to or about women that way at all. But they swear that’s something black men do in general & it’s weird af. Guys like that ALWAYS use AAVE & a faked forced TERRIBLE attempt at a blaccent. Matt Rife, Gary Owens, that white man whose last name is Rappaport, there’s literally SO many comedians, especially nonblack comedians, who are gaining/ have gained instant popularity for how terrible they are to women. All you have to do to become a popular “comedian” these days, if you’re not black that’s even better because if you use AAVE & horribly fake & forced blaccent while following this formula even better, is you clip yourself talking as mean as possible to a drunk woman in the crowd who’s acting drunk (I know very shocking that drinking people can act a little drunk from time to time 😱😱) & erroneously label her a Karen which is a term supposed to be reserved for white women who are especially RACIST & uses her status as a white woman to get what she wants, again, especially when it comes to black people, so idk how tf we’ve let them use that term against both BLACK women & black MEN even, when that’s just not even in the ballpark of being correct but that’s nothing new ofc, they destroy every part of black culture they can get their little unwashed hands on (like all the AAVE terms they don’t know how to use, they use them wrong until they’re completely drained of any & all meaning, see Karen, simp, & Lord knows the word WOKE, for some strong examples). So yeah, upload clips of you being misogynistic af, especially if you’re nonblack & you use AAVE while doing so, & you’re in there like swim wear. Instant popularity! It’s SO popular online right now to be as mean as possible to women & claim you’re “holding them accountable”/“humbling” them smh... The internalized misogyny this has caused in women too is just heartbreaking. I really thought the “pick me”/“not like other girls” eras ended in the early 2010s smh... I thought we shamed that out of those types of women way back then but I guess I was wrong. The ridiculous alphacel (they’re not involuntarily celibate, they’re celibate because they can’t get a woman because they CHOOSE to act a whole donkey & call that “being an alpha”. They’re celibate because they’re running women off by claiming to be “alphas”, hate to break it to y’all, but women don’t like that BS, that’s what MEN are attracted to in other MEN, NOT WOMEN!) nonsense is what’s causing this bs & has so many men by the dang THROAT right bow because they swear that’s what’s going to save them from the “evil” women who won’t even let them smell it because they don’t deserve our bodies, our time, or even to take up ANY space in our minds! This is why I call them alphacels instead of incels because incels implies that they’re some kind of victims of evil women who “won’t” give them THEIR MF BODIES, which they somehow have been made to believe, BY EACH OTHER, that they’re entitled to. 😒 Smh they’re literally CHOOSING to not be with women by pretending to be superior to women, idk who told them this was how the world works but they’ve fcked around for a LONG time now & they’re definitely in their find out era right now & they’re FEELING THAT PRESSURE BABY!! & it’s got them in SHAMBLES out here! That’s why a lot of them are acting out right now worse than ever because they’re scared af because equality feels like oppression to oppressors & just like nonblack people are scared of black people having any power because they think black people will treat them how they were treated, men are afraid women are going to treat them the way THEY deserve to be treated as well & it’s got them scrambling right now to hold on to every bit of the patriarchy they possibly can! So no, they’re not funny, they never have been, & they don’t even HAVE to be. Just upload a bunch of clips of you talking down to drunk female FANS of yours & you don’t even have to make a joke or anything, just say the most outrageous things as possible & you’re in there like swimwear. Instant popularity. & you didn’t even have to try. Again, no jokes necessary, don’t even have to attempt to be funny, just be mean to a drunk woman in your crowd who’s unsurprisingly acting drunk (hello!), incorrectly label her a “Karen” in the title of the clip, & sit back & watch the magic happen! You’d think they’d stop serving alcohol at their shows if they didn’t want drunk people “heckling” them like they’ll claim even though the opposite is true, they allow it to happen because they DO want them acting drunk at their shows because they KNOW that’s what’s popular right now. The least they can do is keep it 100. But we all know being real is not these types strong suit! This is why I say “dark humor” is the most lazy of all because it’s not about “humor” at all, it’s just about being “dark” as possible. Just say something real controversial like a derogatory term against people with mental disabilities or say something misogynistic & you’ll have a GANG of people in your likes & comments claiming they “love dark humor” & CRYING about how their not are all real & very made up bs they call “cancel culture” (a term used to mock the concept of “r*pe culture” btw) is going to take their “favorite” comedian off the stage, even though there will literally not be a SINGLE SOUL calling for them to be “cancelled” but as we know, all that BS is just projection because THEY are the ones who wrote the mfn blueprints for “cancelling” & THEY are the ones who “play victim”, not the ones they accuse of that at all! It never fails. Being funny is not necessary at all, just be as “dark” as possible, especially towards women, children, people with disabilities, black people, most any disenfranchised group of people, & you’ll gain instant popularity, & again, bonus points if you’re a nonblack man using AAVE & a fake blaccent... you’ll gain even more popularity. It’s so lazy & played out but here we are. There’s not a single thing funny about that type at all. & they have the audacity to claim WOMEN aren’t funny. 🙄 These “comedians” SURE become very popular when they act like women though... funny how that works.. These “dark humor” mfs are the LAST mfs who need to be calling people not funny, that’s for sure.

I just finished putting up my Christmas decorations. I have a cat on my lap and hot chocolate in my hands and I am so ready for this.

It gives “take my wife. Please!” Energy. Its a joke from another time

I feel like he had like one or two funny jokes but rode the wave of being stereotypically attractive (tbh I dont think he's that good-looking, he feels too fake) and now he's popular for some reason

Love the handholding part! I went to visit a person I've been in love with for six years recently, and while we were at a play she held my hand! Probably the happiest I have felt in my life

Thank you guys for being so open and honest. You guys convinced me that I need to get on top of my diagnosis and actually go to the doctor on monday

i watched the comedy special because i'd seen funny clips of his crowd work on tiktok... needless to say i was unpleasantly surprised.

Always wanted to order Jarvis's merch because it looks neat and I never had enough money or I was late to the sale and items were sold out. Finally made it to this sale and bought myself a sweatshirt :) So happy to finally do it!

As an ace person, i relate so hard to Jordan's early crush expeiences

I have hEDS and have had two surgeries due to it now, and tons of physical therapy. I'm sorry you're dealing with it, but so glad you've figured it out!

i almost certainly have eds too!! ive been waiting to see a geneticist for a year and everyone thinks im crazy for having severe chronic pain and recurrent health issues since very young. hell yeah for helpful diagnosis!!

for the makeup i suggest getting yourself a nice oil based cleanser. they're pretty cheap and very kind to the skin and require no scrubbing! i wear heavy goth makeup and ive been unable to scrub my face properly many times due to new piercings and i find this always works for me :)

Matt Rife gives Dennis from It Always sunny in Philadelphia vibes.

Holy shit had no clue you had EDS! I’m a zebra too lol and it is so exciting to see someone who has it. The part of “bad for a 29 year old, good for a eds 29 year old” is such a mood lol. I also have sleep apnea, that shit is rough

i like how people bring back mustaches, all started with eddy the fearless barenjaw

I've got EDS too, it's crazy to hear that Jordan has it, really cool that you're able to use your platform to talk about it a bit :)

We have a border collie, german sheppard mix. His name is Zuko. Its a very VERY loyal combo but he has really funny moments. Like border collie wants to be crazy and just run around no thoughts but the German Shepard wants to serve and protect. Its very funny.

My dog is obsessed with chasing squirrels. They mess with him and throw pinecones at him in our backyard lol. One time he found a dead one and snatched it up in his mouth before I could stop him. Man was he pretending so hard like he caught it himself. I had to pry his jaws open to drop it lol

I rarely have time for podcasts but like to listen to new episodes when I do have time. That whipping sound intro was lovely and I feel like I need to at least listen to when that started lol

Yay congrats on selling out the live show!! I’m not surprised at all that you did. Hopefully I can go someday when I visit the US again ❤

Please never stop the howdys Jordan

As a fellow literal hyperhydrosis head, I would kill for the product jarvis' makeup artist has

I got more shorts of Matt Rife bits in the past than crowd work and a lot of the jokes worked for me. I even watched the special before finding out about the discourse. And I was just in such disbelief how unfunny it is. Like yes, the DV joke is problematic but the whole special is also just so boring. If the rest was funny then it'd just be one bad joke in a long set. But instead it's one unfunny joke after the next. Like he at one point was just ranting on and on about a twitter fight he had some time ago like ???

Shout out to the sad boys being awesome, handsome, kind, funny. And the most important, being THE sad boyz

Absolutely pissing my pants bc I am a 22 year old woman and got diagnosed + CPAP for sleep apnea in May of this year. I thought I was a goblin anomaly bc I’m a young person with sleep apnea so I’m loving the ongoing convo about sleep health on the pod. Hope you’re both hanging in there!

Got this notification just as i was rewatching an episode!! 🎉😄🙌 good day to be a sadboy

That’s so cool that Jordan has EDS too!!! It’s always comforting to see other people with it online

i’m out of high school, but the pen pal message and the sad boyz’s reply to it really resonated with me. i had my first crush when i was 17 and i was split between knowing my parents wouldn’t approve and my friends pushing me to ask my crush out, to the point of forging a love note from me and putting it in their locker because they thought i was too much of a coward. meanwhile, i wasn’t sure if i even wanted to date anyone (im still not sure!) and i only really wanted to be friends with them. but my friends were so pushy that i didn’t think i could trust them with any information and i still kind of hold a petty grudge to this day. thanks jordan and jarvis for their very kind response, even if it wasn’t at all directed towards me

I just put on a foot mask to smooth my tired feet and now I’ve put on Sad Boyz to soothe my tired soul

51:33 I actually would love to hear you guys nerd out about comedy math and other aspects of the comedy industry! Maybe on the Patreon episodes or smth idk

the discussion about holding hands and light touches is so wholesome and true. even as an adult those things are so much more romantic than I think a lot of ppl think. sometimes my boyfriend holds my hand as we fall asleep and it literally makes my heart soar. when we wake up in the mornings we have a nice long hug, and before we leave for work we talk a short walk and hold hands. they are "small things" but they mean so much. we have been together 5 years but we took everything very slowly and I think when ppl rush into things they miss the romance. passion is great and I'm not shaming anyone for for they go about things, I'm just saying to go with your own pace (like y'all said, which was great advice) and just enjoy each thing as it happens. it's all valuable when it comes to creating a bond and developing the relationship❤ love you guys!!! you rock!! 🎉

I'm a patron and I super would've have gone to the live show if it were in Seattle! I hope to see a Sad Boyz live in my area sometime :3
