He always did. I really wish he was around for the end. Would be curious how he felt about the breakup of the show.. also wonder if his logic could have somehow helped mend the fences. They both seemed to take his opinion seriously
That's because it shouldn't have been 'greggshells'. Anthony and Jimmy acted like catty little women constantly talking about Opie behind his back instead of confronting him, which really just would make shit worse. They had their little duo going that will constantly trash talk Opie instead of just talking to the dude. They're all assholes, Opie, Anthony and Jimmy.
Csquared Lol, oh boo to you. They talked behind his back, along with the rest of the behind the scenes crew. That's because gregshells happens when they were confronting or arguing with him on air you dolt. Gregshells was the fuckin reason why they talked behind his back. That's why every single person from the show were all friendly with one another and worked together on air after the show. All except opie. He was delusional, and was impossible to talk things out with him. He was lying to himself about his issues, and then began to resent the chemistry between Norton and Cumia, and then began to mentally check out, while simultaneously blaming everyone else and taking a conspiratorial mind set. Like all the comics and behind the scene crew, all got together and decided to all just dislike Opie for what reason exactly? There has to be something as to why a ton of people connected to the show, all interact with one another. Oh yeah, Gregshells. Btw they are all still friendly because they can fuckin talk to one another, if need be, because they might get mad at each other. But they can talk it out without any delusion and denial. I don't hate Opie, but it's clear, to anyone listening for awhile, can come to the conclusion that Opie was terribly unfunny and came off douchey more often then not. Apparently it was just a character, but have you seen proof otherwise?
@@csquared4538 They talked behind his back because THEY KNEW GREGGSHELLS COULDN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. They would try tell him the truth and Opie would ALWAYS try to DEFLECT the truth back onto them and blame them, EVEN IF IT'S GREGGSHELLS FAULT.
The ending with him and Opie. Him saying I’m gonna miss you guys. Made me tear up. Weird but I listen to clips EVERYDAY while working so I kinda feel like I know them in a weird way.
Same here. Patrice O'Neal's death is one of the most tragic losses in human history. I'm grateful to have all of this content to listen to but I can't help but think about what could have been...
Legendary comedian giving you hours of content on a radio show where you NEED and struggle to make 4-5 hours of content every single day....and Opie sits there and lambastes Patrice for talking too much? Could he be any more terrible if he tried???
@@vikingblood6781 doesn't matter, a good radio host, specially someone who's been doing it as long as he has, he should know better than to say useless, unfunny shit and let the people who do comedy try to make people laugh. He's always trying to be relevant or cool and ALWAYS ends up being hacky or corny (because he dont know otherwise). Anthony is the only exception because he's a decent radio host who is also HILARIOUS. Not knockin on Opie's ability as a good radio host, he could just never cope with the the fact that he's NOT FUNNY (and thats ok).
sometimes i wanna get rid of my girl but she listens to lessons that i’ve learned from Patrice so well that i can’t let her go just yet lol. Black Phillip Show for life
+dorpth super late reply, but he got paid (very little) for Black Phillip, but got paid nothing for his O&A appearances. I guess plugging his stand up was the pay. He was brilliant but ahead of his time. If Black Philip was around now, he would be a huge success IMO. Look at web junk and Tosh now.
I just listened to one clip where he talks about getting Eric Logan to get the show back on, and mentions that he did the first one (or couple) for free. So he had to fucking NEGOTIATE to get paid anything at all.
i think the true genius of patrice is he can say shit like "i wish i had an emotionless vocabulary" and you know what he means before he even explains it
Man I would listen to Patrice O'Neal review any movie TV show or game ever made. He could have had 1000 video playlist and I would just watch it on repeat. Every single time he has reviewed a movie on this playlist it's made me go and watch it
Over a year ago opie said that he had over 200 pages written for his book. Yet nothing has ever came out. The only people who would read opies book is people just wanting to see how much of a fucking liar and piece of shit he is. No book publisher would do opies book because it would all be a lie and he and the publisher would be sued. That's why they have fact checking.
when in reality he was trying to click it BACK one notch. back to when we were more ape-like and HAD harems. that DNA is still in us whether we like it or not...
Anytime Opie ("The Hole") cannot be involved, he finds someway to to derail the flow -- his pea sized bladder, irreverent topics he deems talk worthy, or waxing poetic about his talent, of which I saw less and less the more he spoke.
27:40 I love how Patrice relentlessly charged over Opie's dim witted answer to his question. A non verbal "No you fucking moron and I'm not even going to dignify that shit with a response.".
26:10-27:15 Greg tries to rush Patrice along, saying hes redundant basically, so that he could get to a caller that does nothing but reiterate the point. Why? Because that's Opie's version of "chiming in"; he constantly butts in with callers or other ppl's jokes from instant feedback ("funniest listeners in radio MOTHERFUCKERS!" unless of course they don't deliver, then it's "wow, YOU brought the show down caller I was relying on by proxy") when someone else is on a roll, and my guess is bc he'd hate for ppl to forget it's his show, bc it's easy to do when you havent contributed anything beyond the technical side of things.
Even worse is when a good flow is happening and opie will cut off everyone to talk about a someone walking by the studio "there goes another person who hates me". He never mentioned a name or why the person hates him and as a listener we have no idea what the fuck your talking about. He did that shit almost every day and sometimes multiple times a day
I mean, say what you want but the show might not have been what it was if it wasn't for Opie. It certainly would not have existed had Opie not understood what Anthony was from the beginning. SOMEONE needs to keep the show moving. There are requirements for advertisers as well. Opie was the Senate. He represents the State. Anthony was the House. He represents the people. Certainly Opie is NOW a feckless tool. Back then, this wouldn't have existed without him. I get the Opie hate in retrospect but I'm grateful to him nevertheless for this show.
toward the end of the show. when Patrice starts clearing his throat and starts talking about his real life shit. he does that anytime he tells a very personal story. I miss him so much
Apparently his girl wrote a book, it's not his direct wisdom but it's a collection of what she learned from him. Supposedly she quotes him a lot as well. Sadly the closest thing we'll get.
The fucked up thing about Patrice writing a book is that opie would try to take credit for it. "I told you to write a book" and opie would think that he was the one who discovered Patrice and his genius views and suggested that he do a book
The book wouldn't have nailed down what this entire playlist does plus all the other interviews. A book would have paled in comparison to HEARING him say it all.

54:24 Opie says "this company needs to find some money, maybe take it away from a few certain people and spread the wealth a little bit"...they should have started with that way overpaid hack Opie. The balls on that jerk off...
"Somethin somethin for somethin"- Patrice could make anything funny. Damn it he was beyond replaceable. If someone asked me what funny is, I would just point them to the OnA Patrice Oneal playlist, and enjoy.
Opie making fun of vos for being insecure and having low self esteem........... and then 20secs later crying about twitchels leaving and upset with him switching shows and leaving him
He loved to project onto others. He was terrible in this episode. Accusing Patrice of making the same point over and over again. Atleast he made points, and had something interesting to say. Atleast he said what he felt and was honest about his opinions. Opie had almost no opinions and had no insight on any topic. Patrice called him out for obsessing over the feedback from fans on pal talk.
Good stand-up is rehearsed. Over 160 episodes of off the cuff near perfect comedy for hours. Plus the 10 chapters of impeccable Black Phillip. No one comes close to Patreeky.
I...I don't like Black Phillip as much as I would have hoped. there's SOOOO much talking over each other and yelling. and I honestly don't think Patrice got the respect he needed to lay out his points as clearly as he did on O and A. What the NEEDED was a guy like Opie to wrangle in the show *snorts*
"Casey FUCKING Ryback!?!" LMAO 1:54:15 "He never ever gets his ass beat in any of his movies.. It has to be a clause... The first movie he ever got hit was Marked for Death. They let the Jamaican guy hit him! But then he broke him in half and threw him down an elevator shaft." LMAO LMAO 1:55:10 "..Hard to Kill, Out for Justice,... Something Something for Something. Never more than 3 words.. Watch out Muthafucka." LMAO LMAO 1:55:50 "..He would shoot two guys quickly and then do a 'Zabba Zabba Zabba'.. " LMAO 1:59:10
LOL. You, my friend, indeed found the best part of the 2 hour episode. "Casey FUCKING Ryback!!?? . . . Casey FUCKING Ryback!!??" "The guy trains the people who train the people that train people!!! He trains the trainers!!!!!" People loved Black Phillip, but I always thought Patrice should have had a show that discussed popular movies.
To those who think "Greggshells" are some fabrication made up by salty fans, listen to episode 100 "Thermite Paint". I only bring it up because it's fresh in my mind, but it has to be one of the greatest examples of just exactly what we all mean when we use the term "Greggshells". It's nothing short of infuriating.
Opie: I don't try to rein you in blah blah blah Meanwhile we have 90 episodes of Opie doing just that, trying to rein in Patrice. And then Opie tries to play like nothing happened 2 minutes later and says he was the first to love Patrice even though he said previously he took him a while to like Patrice because he finds him "intimidating". And Patrice dies a year later from Diabetes, just like Opie wanted. Fuck. This. Gay. Earth.
"Dude... It's cartoonishly evil.. It's one of the most racist movies..." LMAO 1:59:40 "I'm off in Burma." (I'm the only one to catch that Seinfeld/J. Peterman reference? LOL) 2:00:22 Nice one Ant!! "..Listen the other Rambos gave you an inclination.. they inclined that this guy was this dangerous.........This one.. you go, 'Oh shit, this is what he really does'!!" LMAO LMAO 2:02:00
its a shame to hear Patrice want to hang out and talk longer at the end of episodes. Same happens on the end of the Greg Giraldo intervention episode. Makes me feel like Norton in a sad movie.
“Sam doesn’t get paid!?” a few years later he gets his own show with Jim and still doesn’t get paid. Edit: lmao I thought it was the futerative too. Sounds like the sci fi channel version of Looper
The sad thing about the homeless shopping spree is that opie only wants to do it if it could be done in a mall. That way the bums and the fans will get opie attention and Hopes to make the news. It's not about helping the homeless at all cause if it was about helping the homeless he would have agreed to management's request to do it in a Cosco before they open but if they did it that way it wouldnt get the attention of the papers or the news. So instead of helping the homeless opie just decided not to do it at all cause it's all about him. If hes not gunna get anything out of it then hes not gunna help the homeless.
It was about good radio and thats it.... get over yourself. So having a bunch of people in a mall cheering and getting updates from different people would be infinitely better than in a closed Costco. Come on
Patrice was still sharpening his sword in all these episodes. he had a lot figured out already but he was most assuredly still a student, while he seemed to already be a master to us all.
42:52 Patrice is right, dudes can do that, not Opie. Opie continued to try to get back at Patrice after that and Patrice was mature enough to ignore it to let the show keep going.
