+WOAHFOX That's the truest statement ever....but in defense of O&A, they "seem" to recognize that they need others to be funny, which is humility, and the trade off with Patrice or any other comic of content for exposure is very fair. Now that being said, without Patrice, the show is far less interesting and funny....
the show sucks when they dont have guests, i haven't heard much but its mostly just bashing people they think they are better than (crazy pal talk girl, hobos) or them screaming/making fun of the staff. patrice, norton and pretty any other comedian guest makes the show
And RIP Gaddafi, out of all the dictators, he was my favourite. The Amazonian Guard really embodied what all dictators and warlords should aspire to achieve.
shame no one sat Patrice down and maybe suggested something other than chinese food 3 - 4 nights a week. Not talking shit simply posing a thought. I have the same feeling regarding Bernie Mac.
Trav Im pretty sure that Patrice had made his healthy eating habits too late. There's a lot of health benefits to his vegetarian choice but at that point the health benefits aren't too beneficial since he was a diabetic. He should have exercised. Maybe that would have strengthened his heart and his blood move better

It's beyond sad at 1:39:01, when Greg says, "I'm not comfortable in my skin in real life, and on stage I could get a little buzzed and be the guy I wanted to be my whole life", at 1:51:56, "Then you go, well fu*k it, they'll (his children) be better off without you anyway...and then you hate yourself so much that you can't stop because then you're like, 'I'm the biggest piece of sh*t on the planet"." And at 1:52:46, "What was your upbringing like, Greg? Was it fu*cked up?" Greg: "No, that's the thing. It really wasn't. Well, through therapy you start finding out that things seemed fu*cked up...I was smart, I was supposed to save the world. I always felt weird. I always felt different and I still do now to this day...I'm always on the periphery of everything. I'm always the outside guy...I never felt that way (like a normal guy)...As soon as I get fu*ked up it's like, 'Well hey, everybody now I'm one of you. Now I'm normal.' ... So now booze and drugs are the medicine to fix what's wrong. It's actually I'm fixing my problem, I'm treating my illness. And then you try to stop, you try to not drink or anything and all the sudden, that illness is still there with no medicine, it gets worse and worse and worse, until you address what's wrong with you..."
Unfortunately, I know ☹. Intellectuals usually feel alienated...there's the famous Ernest Hemingway quote: "Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."
NeoSilvanus Patrice had a giant heart at the end of the day and was a teddy bear. That’s why he was the loudest in the room and the best at calling people out, he was real as fuck but you had to get through his walls.
and when you die, someone will bring this comment thread up. That's what digital preservation means. If you post it...its forever. i'm thankful patrice and greg recorded what they did; its the only way to time travel. (i understand there's no flying car with a flux capacitor. Its just so...amazing that we are listening to people who aren't...people anymore. I get what recording is. I just am thankful we are able to hear them and their material, even though, they, and their material, isn't a thing anymore.
I think it was partly that, but I also think the drugs just made him feel happy and content, as drugs do, and I can definitely relate. Without that feeling of drugged happiness, it's brutal. That's what leads to addiction. I think most drug addicts can identify with this.
this audio changed my life, It took me two days to hear it all and the first hour and a half just made me so introspective on the bullshit ive been putting myself through, im lucky enough to have done alot of dumb shit at this early stage in my life and not dragging it into my adulthood..to much lol You could also hear the Genuine concern Patrice had for his friend it made me curse out anthony for wanting to leave and not spend more time speaking to Greg but i understand no one could save people the way people can save themselves and also no one could have thought that the absolute worse was on its way , Thankyou Greg for the Honesty and all the laughs you gave, you will always be one of my favorite comics , and same thing for you Patrice !! Your a King And the Spokesperson For Funny, Im not gonna stop telling people about your work because what the world needs now is some more Patrice, Rest In PARADISE!!
Ant is an active alcoholic he doesn't wanna sit there and talk about his problem to someone else cuz it makes you feel guilty to be trying to help someone with a problem you are currently going through
Just at core value, Patrice O’Neal and Greg Giraldo are legends to me because I respect people who are intelligent and real. Those men are gems, Patrice O’Neal is my favorite comedian of all time, and we miss them both. People like Ant, Jim, Patrice, Greg Giraldo made the world a better place because of the joy they bring to our lives!

Greg could’ve easily been on something, but he always talked fast and seemed semi nervous, but never quite this badly. Having said that he was always one of my favorite comics, wished he would’ve been on the show more. He was great on Tough Crowd and absolutely brutal at those celebrity roasts. The greatest roaster of all time imo. RIP to Greg and Patrice, 2 greats.
Being sober after a long stretch on it can really fry your brain and make you even more uncomfortable in your own skin so you could be right, damn same.
"No downs, man. It happens." Patrice was a compassionate dude. Hearing him say that when Greg was talking about unraveling on stage further solidified how great of a person Patrice truly was.
just fyi he says "meltdowns" not "no downs". i hear u tho bro. he could definitely tear u apart if he wanted to but he never did it maliciously, it was always in good fun with him. he definitely cared about his friends. he was truly a legend
He was also very adept at putting cocaine in his nose. Trouble with intelligent people who have self destructive behavior is their ability to rationalize and excuse it.
@@brandonb3174 Yes, people who have a large aptitude for intelligence are typically outcasts to society, by their own volition. They typically never run into anyone capable of genuinely understanding them, which is a terrible feeling; and a human without human connection, no matter how genius, will fall under 9/10. The ones that typically make it through are those that find their passion/muse fairly early and allow their curiosity to run wild.
Thats exactly how i feel only im sure greg was way smarter than i. I found carpentry/ building/ woodworking and dogs has filled alot of void that used to be there. Overthinking is the worst but also i still think id Prefer it over “ignorance is bliss”
Patrice & Greg together!? This moment gave me chills,the vicious wit of Greg & Patrices wisdom/theories are legendary.. Im a huuuuuge fan of Greg Giraldo,and it destroyed me he died.. Then Patrice,I was devastated.. Only recently I can listen to these shows.. Sounds very corny,maybe,but man I related like many to these guys.. much love to the uploader for these videos.. Forever im grateful.
He was a force for good, helping both men and women have better relationships. At his core he cared about and loved people. RIP Black Fist of Justice, you are missed and loved
And Ant is like when your uncle is a pedophile. Who gives a shit, shows over. Just come to enjoy 2 great comedians who died too soon and are immortalized due to apps such as RU-vid.
I'd've killed to have someone be by my side when the world broke me like it did Giraldo. Patrice was the best of us. A damn shame both are gone. Real loyalty, real friendship is so difficult to find.
Bro that face transplant roast was flawless holy fuck Patrice was a genius! "Looking like she just chewed on 12 lemons" bro my stomach and cheeks hurt soo much god damn what a massive lost Rest in Paradise Big Pimp
As a former opiate addict I can honestly say drug addiction is one of the most complex and insidious things to overcome. I feel for Giraldo in this. The rationalizing aspect is extremely hard to defeat. It really does take a massive event to bring one to the terms essential to make a good run at sobriety. I used for 7 years and 6 of those years I didn't want to be using yet I found myself constantly being reeled back in. My whole life I have been hyper sensitive and constantly creative. For dominantly right brained people the world can be difficult and their minds are so hyper sensitive that its constantly telling them to give it something to numb it down. That can manifest in so many ways. Addiction is such a misunderstood affliction and many people don't have much sympathy for it. They don't understand the differences in the chemical makeup of different people. They say things like "I've used drugs and never had an issue so you are a weak minded person who I am superior to". Fuck those people, their inability to be empathetic to plights even outside of addiction makes them inferior. Empathy is one of the greatest aspects of an addictive personality and is something I draw pride from. Pride can be a hard thing to come by but its one of the things that can lead you out of the pit.
ProperGanderSaul honestly, he was extreme, but so we're you. There's a lot that drives drug addiction and alcoholism. Yes, it starts with a simple bad decision, but a little empathy goes a long way man, and it's still a tragic thing to suffer from. I've known quite a number of people who have overdosed and choked on their own vomit while drinking. It's never easy. It's easy to blame it all on the addict and to say they're stupid and it's all their own fault. But, although there is a certain level of personal responsibility, that doesn't mean you shouldn't empathize with the fact that it is a struggle man. There's nothing easy about giving up a drug addiction, especially when you feel like there isn't a better alternative.
Doesn’t mean he for sure on somethin, no need to assume so just cause you’re an addict and think that you “know” other addicts. And I’m not saying he was 100% sober, but I’m certainly not gonna act like I know what his state was especially given how he died and what he was struggling with. People have assumed I’m on shit when I’m sober and have no idea when I’m high even when leveled...
I really wanted to hear more about the robots that greg saw attacking him an also the God experiences he went thru that he wasn’t ready to interpret,,,, I’ve listened to this episode so many times hoping that I get more details . Patrice an Greg are the goats imo
Patrice absolutely killed on this one geez! He dominates the entire show. He usually always does but this was ridiculous. They even kept acknowledging it during the show too. Legend.
@@trippytradingcards7852 His take on aspartame is not particularly sound. This was a common theme with Mr. P. He'd read some things on a conspiracy site and go all in. A minute of actual research into aspartame and how it is metabolized would have set him straight. Regardless, he was one of the greatest to ever do it, RIP.
Damn so I take it Greg died before getting to do the special he mentions in this episode. Im not too sure when this aired though. I miss this dude and Patrice..so stoked I got to be alive in a time where these two legends were around.
It's sad hearing these type of stories from Greg, knowing he died just a year later. He obviously had some personal demons, but I think the divorce really fucked him up.
Except by the time Infinity War can't it he would have hated it as much as the rest of us. If you listened to Patrice you would know he would have hated the political agenda that's being pushed. Patrice didn't spread Misinformation with his conspiracies. He was a logical thinking person unlike most of the so-called theorists today, which in my opinion are labeled as such to take away from the people who actually think them through. Back to the original point, Marvel had great movies when they first came out and the progressively got worse. I don't think Patrice would have enjoyed them as much as you think he would have.
@@HansDester honestly, the movies reflected a lot of the content of the comics. Patrice was an independent thinker so I’m not going to pretend I know which way he would react but I would have liked to hear his reactions. I would have liked to hear his feedback. This is me missing the man based on something of a mutual interest not trying to say how amazing the Marvel movies have been.
1:26:40 "Why didn't you call me? When did this happen?" from Patrice to Greg makes me feel sad. Patrice even mentions a few minutes earlier that him and Giraldo don't really talk like that, but he still would have been there for his pal in rough spot.
You can tell Opie can't hang. He says we just did 20 minutes of radio off the air.... that's called fucking talking. They were probably having a conversation and Opie was just thinking on having it on the air and then he probably makes them repeat themselves cause he struggles to just hang
2020 feb and I'm just now stumbled on this towards the end when Greg comes on and heading Patrice voice change made me feel so bad especially knowing what happen and the end of their story. RIP
Most comedians are very insecure. Greg just kind of wore out in his sleeve. Patrice and Greg were two of the biggest losses to comedy ever in my opinion.
poor greg i know what its like cuz its what im living... all of these people talk to him and he heard what they were saying but hes not listening and hes not taking it in. He sounds just like me.
Jimmy was right, addiction is always self-centered. Greg's response to jim saying that was ironically completely about himself. He was high AF during this episode and in a creepy way he knew and accepted what was coming. "I /hope/ I get better but i don't know" "That advice may have saved my life".
It’s just funny coming from the Jim who’s as self centered as you can get. I’m so tired of hearing him talk about addiction. He got clean at 18 so he had 3 years of using at best, and he’s trying to tell a guy with decades of addiction under his belt about how to get sober, like he can relate.
The fact Patrice was calling putbnon gmo non organic sweeteners and federal reserves ❤. For those that don't know science aspartame and all then chemicals are rat poison that have a spin of right...now spin the molecules left you get same molecular structure but its weet lol aka sugar (substitute) you have to see how a molecule structure spins and rat poison spins right when same structure is artificial made to spin left its sweet lol..Patrice is 10-20 years ahead of his time
Patrice knew "they" wanted to track us. He didn't exactly have the why down, not to jail us so much as to keep us complacent and to advertise to us. But still, Patrice had some keen insight on that shit
His has been known sine he 1930s... we took all info from national Germany...and incorporated their ideals into our world... from brainwashing thru tv... drugs ... space... systematic injustice... we copied them to a tee literally.
@@hushup8692 In other words... Operation Paperclip. It's amazing the Sheep 🐏🐑 Sheeple only started believing that once it was mentioned in a mainstream TV show/media. Ugh. It's only once the Idiot Box confirms it is when they finally believe it.
Patrice woulda loved movies today. Especially spider-man no way home comin out in a week. I would love to have been able to hear his take on movies today
Greg was the king of prepared material roasts...Patrice was the king of improvised roasts. I miss both of em. But maaan, when they were on their shit, they were on 🔥
For sure.. i love jimmy on the radio but have never cared for his prepared standup its weird and we all love Anthony but he’s tried stand up and ehhh… haha
12:45, the crazy sad irony that this is sort of how Patrice ended up passing (unable to speak, trapped in a body). Like everyone, I wish he were here today to give us his thoughts on the world.
It’s funny hearing them use Snopes as though it’s a reliable source for truth. Lol. What’s absolutely crazier is the ppl so diluted to still use Snopes nowadays
What happened there? Seems chopped and edited in a weird way, giving the general flow of the conversation beforehand. That's the one real questioning moment for me in this playlist and leads me to think Weaton was somebody within or very close to this show and parts had to be edited out of existence. Nobody predates his original playlist on a consistency base.
@@amrey3628 so in this particular instance I think since they had tvs on in studio the face transplant lady came up on a news program running on one of the TVs and Jim then Opie saw it so they interrupted their train of thought to bash her lol. But I have noticed in other episodes weird cuts where there's some noticeable editing and missing pieces of episodes. Wonder why... either way I am eternally grateful to Weston for posting and keeping them up.
@@OurBlackFriend yeah i definitely noticed that in other appearances too. Maybe I'm over analyzing in this one. Setting myself up for to much happiness as Patrice said to Ant one time lol. But what you said makes sense.
