Get Anthony Cumia on as a guest.
Imagine of Patrice was alive today, imagine people actually TRYIN to cancel him lmao smh
Let's not forget how they weren't talking as Bill sold him down the river. Burr being self righteous as always.. and to cut Anthony Cumia out of the documentary cause someone drew his wife ugly lol... Criminal
@@danielmason4251 What's the point
Is he Talking about Jak Knight at the end?
This is the most vulnerable I've seen Bill. You can tell it pains him.
He openly breaks down on Conan years ago over this topic
@@ACarter87 Link?
Watch him tell his childhood Christmas story on stage. So fucking sad.
@@ThePat1221 I have seen that.
@@praws12 As soon as he says "Patrice" he crumbles on Conan and starts crying . The only thing that kept it from getting vocal was the quick work on Conan's part to finish up talking for Bill. On Conan it was still fresh, on this one Bill didn't look like he was close to tears or anything but yeah you can see it still haunts him. The 2 of them being on the outs was what made something shitty even shittier for Bill . Then you add Patrice being comatose shortly after getting to the hospital.......I feel for ya Bill. It's also OK to cry ya angry ginger lol.
Heres the Conan clip

Patrice taught me that sometimes the only winning move is to not play, you gotta be willing to take your ball and go home and lose whatever it is you thought you had if you want better for yourself; because your happiness is paramount. Thank you, Patrice, I'm happier than ever right now.
That’s called the Nash Equilibrium, a quantifiable mathematical model proposed by John Nash whom Russel Crow played in A Beautiful Mind, pretty sure Patrice saw that movie but he was wise to incorporate it into his personnel life
@@Rake3577that movie and the movie “pi” or “π” made me wish I wasn’t a dickhead in school and properly studied maths
@@kk-po1hj Pi is a very hidden gem, you know your stuff
Thanks for typing this out. I remember him speaking on it and it is tremendous
That’s literally a war games reference hahahahaha
Patrice's movie critiques are some of the funniest things ever spoken. Noone could tell a story like him. RIP Black Philip
Fareal I have to revisit even just tonight, I'm listening to O&A.
I never knew a person could see so many movies

@@DeanJay88 Eek Eek
@@johnstack8362
U probably seen just as many, without realising. Talk about them one time and u will surprise urself. Lol
I still listen to Patrice often and I apply the O’Neal standard to life
Tremendous
I havent listen to him in a while an was thinking about the things he said. Is there a place where they have all his stuff listed out short format without having to watch full episodes of o and Anthony etc
No so much the comedy stuff but more life advice. Like being authentic and embracing truth etc
WWPD
We used to skip typing class and steal lunch meat and sell sandwiches. NOW I CANT TYPE! Elephant in the room was perfect. It was my introduction to him and he passed only months after it's release. He would never know how many people were affected long term for it.
You can tell by his body language that he really loved and cared about Patrice.
Which is great for all the deaf people on UA-cam.
@@normie2716 well done, norm would approve
You can tell by your comment that you're gay
@@normie2716 🫂
Spoken like a true zoomer with limited social interaction outside of the internet: yOu cAN teLL bY thEIr bOdY lAnGUagE. what a deep and insightful observation
You can tell this hurts Bill. He's still funny and cracks some jokes but if you listen to the way he talks, you can hear the sorrow. I can't believe Patrice has been gone since 2011. RIP
Patrice already mastered comedy. He was already reaching iconic status for being more of a philosopher than a comedian. He’s truly missed and it’s incredibly unfortunate he had to leave us just as he was reaching his zenith. “Elephant in the Room” is up their with the greatest stand up specials of all time. Long live Black Philip.
This is so true man. I see as more of a philosopher than anything else, and thank the gods his time on O and A has been so well preserved. You can honestly trace the man's rights movement all the way back to him, or at least this big push in the last 10-15 years. And i watch Elephant in the Room like 2 times a year. He's the goat imo.
Mr.p is light-years better than elephant in the room and that was hilarious
@@xxxand3r here come Tolo!!
who is patrice?
@@sha7303 a guy
i will never forget being at the comedy cellar seeing bill burr bomb and hearing partice howl is the barkground laughing at him.
I love hearing stories about Patrice. The comedy GOAT as far as I’m concerned
You are thinking of Hannah Gadsby.
@@gsomethingsomething2658 never heard of her
Yeah he really was. Very insightful, very funny. Not afraid to challenge and provoke. Really a star of this very difficult profession
@@gsomethingsomething2658 Yeah you’re right, it’s easy to confuse them
he was the goat ..... period
Patrice is amazing, his stand up and all the stuff he did on the O&A show, that laugh he emits when he sees Bobo get hard cheers me up every time, one of the best infectious laughs I have ever experienced. And then dave attell talking about him and the purple suit and gigantic coffin, he made everyone great.
Watching Patrice fall out of his chair when Bobo was getting hard is my go-to day brightener 😂
Patrice just talking was funnier than 90% of standup comedy
50%
@@father3dollarbill95%
@@father3dollarbilland 50 % terrified
Patrice's "Elephant in the room" is the comedy performance that all others can be measured by.
That comedy special was and still is perfection.
The setup to the "exactly" punchline for the Natalie Holloway joke should be in the Smithsonian. It was such a perfectly laid trap.
@@ProtusMose what was that big headed bit**'s name...? 😅🤣
So glad many others realize that "Elephant in the room" is the best crafted stand up. It should be remembered.
I too watch it a few times a year .
A classic
The thing about Patrice is he would make you re-think the way you may feel on any given topic or actually teach you stuff you thought you already knew about. This may sound corny or stupid but he taught me a lot about the way women think and I'm a grown-ass man. I'm sure I'm not the only one either.
definitely. Black Philip helped me a lot
For those that don't know Bill was talking about Jak Knight at the end, he recently passed and had patrice vibes
Thought maybe he was talking about Teddy Ray
@@nawtytoonice teddy ray was 32, Jak was 28 like Bill said. If you watch some of Jak's stand up you will see what Bill was talking about. RIP Teddy Ray tho, he deserves more recognition.
I would love to see Bill do a set on friendship. Defining what it is, talking about fake friends, arguing with your real friends, respect. I think he could do an amazing bit on that
Yes maybe he can do a bit on recess too. Excited for his kindergarten special.
I don't think he could maintain his emotions to stay on the jokes. They'd have to practice it for a long time. Idk. Sometimes some things you're allowed to keep to yourself.
I don't think his boss Nia would let him
@@seanmatthewking You must've wanted a seat at that comedy cellar table so bad!! (me too) 😂
Burr is an expert in friendship in the way that Jeffery Dahmer was a master chef.
Patrice was the guy you always wanted to talk to. Hear his opinion on everything. Agree or disagree. He was hilarious and brilliant, and a d-bag lol.
You can only imagine what he'd say about this 300 genders, woke, nonbinary horse shit, Epstein, Biden, Trump holy shi......
Always wanted to talk to? You couldn't get that big brown Yabba the Hut to stop. It's not like I ever met him though. Rip
I think the dude that passed away that Bill was referring to was Jak Knight. He was absolutely amazing! It broke my heart to see such a light go like that.
That's exactly who he was talking about. That dude was funny fr. Damn
Thanks. Gonna go check him out now.
I was so upset when I found out that he passed. Then I found out how he died and I legit cried. It’s always insanely upsetting when someone dies by suicide no matter who it is, but when it’s someone who had as much potential as he did it’s all the more devastating.
Patrice O’ Neal will be the best comedian ever! I swear when he passed away, Bill changed
In what way? I haven't been following Bill for that long :/
Yeah he needed a Patrice to keep him in check, I hear bills wife in his comedy now
@@Euderos91 his wife took over the Patrice o Neal benefit, banned Anthony cumia from it, Bill said he would never work with Anthony Cumia again, they kept him out of the Patrice o Neal documentary, when 95% of Patrices material is in conversations with Anthony Cumia. Anthony and patrice had the coolest funniest realist relationship ever. And bills to woke to admit it.
@@DrFeelgood1127 Bingo.
@@DrFeelgood1127 Thanks fo the info. BTW, what's wrong with Bill's wife? She's been in his comedy ever since they adopted their dog Cleo...
The comedian who he was talking about at the end, the one who died at 29, was jak knight. 100% right, he was incredible and his angle would have had a positive effect on comedy. RIP Jak.
Is his stuff anywhere?
Thanks I was in the Commet section just for this.
Yeah I was just saying extremely original.
Anything about Patrice i will click on. I'm actually surprised they know about him. Respect
Well they are, or at least were comedians.
Got me in the feels. Patrice is one of the all-time greats. Gone way too soon. RIP
Literally saw this come up fresh right after listening to Patrice on an old O&A. May the King live forever.
Funniest natural comedian that ever lived. I don't care what anyone says
I think it's important to recognize that he really was more than just a comedian. He had a way of philosophizing his happiness that was utterly one of a kind. It was impossible to force him to a corner.
Settle down. He's ok
@@patrickl6932 no, he was the funniest person ever recorded
Him and Norm
Relax
Patrice O’Neal is the greatest comedian of all time!!!! RIP 🐐
Relax
@@petej7002 naw, you're just young
@@beingofstrange naw YOU must be young. You never heard of Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle?. Patrice is one of the greats, I love his comedy style, but he’s not THE greatest.
@@faxnoprinter1776 he's THE greatest.
@@beingofstrange you must be pretty young. As much as I like Patrice. You look up any top 5 stand up comedians of all time you won’t see him anywhere. But also, if YOUR opinion is that he’s the greatest, that absolutely your right. But in totality and majority, he isn’t even top 5
Patrice roasting Lada Gaga with the guys on the Opie & Anthony Show was absolutely hilarious. One of my favorites.
I remember that roast!! 😂😂😂😂
ua-cam.com/video/ccMGAnHk0UU/v-deo.html - 3:17:40 of this clip. Happened to be listening again this morning and it’s just as funny as the first time.
Oooo weeee uuuuuuu aaaaa-a😂
@@Bitchtheman 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When he states “Bill you mentioned Patrice.” I love the way Bill gets so calm and peaceful within a split second and I love his voice the way he says “yup” it’s just such a beautiful moment albeit very slight and quick. Rest in Paradise Patrice.
Real friends you can see how he has to pause to keep together and how he's recalling moments . I felt what he said about "I'm still arguing with him ". 🙌🏿🙌🏿☹️💜
Patrice is the guy that made me love comedy, it will always kill me that I never got the chance to see him perform live
I like how they let Bill talk
I love that this new, calm Bill Burr is not afraid to be boring
“I still have arguments with him” hit hard. You can tell how much he still matters to Bill.
I lost my best friend in 2013 And this is exactly how it feels. A decade goes by and you still can’t believe they’re gone. They almost become a part of you. Sometimes you hear their voice become your inner voice. Only someone you really love can make you that happy and that mad. You think of them and you don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
I remember listening to the first o&a after patrice’s death, where they had everyone on and whoever wasn’t there called in. I was good for that whole four hours until the last ten seconds before they signed off and real quick while everyone is saying thanks/goodbye louie just says “bye patrice”. Made the whole thing hit home
Patrice is right up there with my absolute favorite comedians/philosophizers. I have a feeling we’re gonna miss Bill like he (and we) misses Patrice.
Or just philosophers.
Always refreshing listening to Bill. I projects the personality of a guy you d like to meet and talk to, be friends with actually. He's funny as hell. I wish someone would ask how he discovered his comic perspective. How he figured out his style. There are people that draw you in with stories and unique takes on everyday situations.
I started listening to Patrice's old Opie and Anthony appearances a few years back, and once I got started I could help but hunt down and binge every lost one I could find for hundreds of hours, I just couldn't get enough of him, and the more I heard the nofe heartbroken I am to know he's gone
I’m on an old school O & A binge right now and the Patrice episodes were epic especially the infamous Up and Down game with Bobo 😆
That fucking laugh was legendary. I still watch that clip once a month. I used to record the O & A show and listen to it later. I'll never forget the day looking at my XM and seeing his name & saying _"great, Patrice is on"_ and then playing the show to find out they were talking about the stroke that would eventually cost him his life.
Patrice was a GOD of comedy.
We need him now more than ever.
Hyperbole much
I still cry sometimes watchin Bernie Mac. I loved that guy like he was my family because being from the south he was just like a lot of my family members especially my dad. R.I.P TO Bernie Mac and Patrice O'Neal
Patrice on O&A will always be some of my favorite comedy, glad I was able to enjoy him when I was in middle school. Made life a little easier
We all still miss him. Thanks for bringing him up, Billy.
I'm pretty sure the guy he was talking about at the end was Jak Knight. I only knew about his popular videos and him on big mouth, but Bill's right, a lot of great ones have been dying off 😞
yeah i thought this too.
Used to love watching Patrice and Colin go at it on Tough Crowd
Patrice had no mercy, from bashing Lisa Lampanelli to making Kevin Hart sit on his lap like a ventriloquist dummy 😂
Patrice got the best punches in out of anybody on that show
Me too
@@JerseySlayer DiPoalo and Giraraldo were murdering on there just as much
The man was a complete and true storyteller. He knew exactly what he was talking about and had the real world experience to back that knowledge up.
Get rid of that apostrophe in "arguments." Great segment! Also, the guy he's referring to at 3:55 is Jak Knight.
Yes, and shouldn't the pipe be replaced with a colon?
0:12 that stare was one of the most moving things I've ever seen.
......when you think back and still feel what you felt. You only get a few of those
He was so much better than us, smarter than us, funnier than us. His teachings still make sense and help me in my life today. If he was alive today, he would have a field day on so many people
I would pay serious money for a one-hour special of him ripping our culture a new asshole. It would be priceless.
We need Patrice O'neal now more than ever.
He is my hero and has been since tough crowd. Love that his memory is still alive.
So grateful I got to see Patrice and Mitch when they were still with us!
I flipping love Bill Burr. I almost love listening to him talk and tell stories, than his stand-up. And I really really like his stand-up
There were very few like Patrice, who were in a league of their own. Sam Kinison was among them. Guys like him and Patrice transcended comedy. When they were "On", they were a force of nature.
Kinison was overrated, all he did was scream
An underrated comedy duo is Patrice and Anthony Cumia together Im surprised the mics didn’t turn to gold
Man the weird delicacy conversation... Unbe-fuckin-lievable
@@Choonzord sautéed hamster lips
Bill is the man! thanks for having him, great interview
Bills Patrice stories make me happy. Thanks for sharing.
Patrice went way too early. He is the man we need in these times of nonsense
RIP Patrice. I still listen to him on O&A pretty much every day. 🙏🏾
Thank y'all for even bringing him up...#Respect...
the world as it is stands today so much needs Patrice O'Neal. whether you're left, right, or middle of the road, he would smash you, and you couldn't help but love it. RIP
Bill misses his friend, I lost my best friend too I can see it in your eyes
Should have asked him about how Anthony Cumia isn't allowed to attend any of the Patrice benefits and wasn't included in the documentary at all
Imagine a world of scared comedians who dont want to offend anyone lol
You're a boring person
Should have asked him about why Cumia wasn't invited. Should have asked him why Patrice wife don't want to have nothing with Cumia. Should have asked him if Cumia and Patrice where such a good friends, in Cumias words, best friends actually, why Cumia didn't make a benefit for his best friends family or make a doc about him and invite who ever he wants. Should have asked him why nobody from that circle is having nothing with Cumia today (Oppie, Bill, Kevin Hart...). Should have asked him how it actually all started. Should have asked him how everybody ran away from Cumia. It is actually an interesting racist story from comedy cellar where he is happy he is still alive and that it has nothing to do with Bills black wife no matter how he and his 50 pesants are trying to take that narative. Should have asked him why is Bill the only subject that brings 50k to his podcast so he is chewing it up over and over and over again otherwise there is not even 500 of you watching that and how frustrated he is with being nobody. Oh, I almost forgot, should have asked him why Chapelle said I wish him all the best but as far as possible from me. You know, there is a lot of things to be asked. To your God Cumia, not to Bill.
Cumia wasn't his friend, cumia embodied everything patrice wanted to believe about white people, thats why he now hangs with proud boys founder and is a radicalized racist... listen all O&A episodes they had great convo's but they werent friends.
@@freedomprophet2597 nah they said they were friends and hung out outside the show sometimes too.
They weren't CLOSE, but they were friends
One of a kind, no one like him before and no one will ever be again. Just a brilliant, funny, solid, focused and almost too aware of his surroundings type of person. Guys like him and Colin Quinn would be torturous to live inside. They just fucking notice EVERYTHING 😂 and nothing is safe!
So pleased that you finally got to talk to Buck Angel in person 👍
Take the like, no one else is going to get this.
Lol!
If you wanted to speak to someone about Patrice, you should've interviewed Anthony Cumia.
EDIT: In fact thinking about it, Anthony Cumia would be a great guest full stop.
they probably had to sign a contract stating that they wouldn't, because Burr pushed Ant out of anything to do with Patrice. it's like Burr forgot who got him all the early exposure and just wants to bank on having known Patrice. if Patrice were alive today he'd be hanging with Ant and telling everyone what a sell out Burr is.
Man I would love to see Anthony come on to the show
@@blues4509 It would be great, wouldn't it.
Sadly, this will never happen. Bill Burr's wife only allowed Bill to go on triggernometry under the condition that they never have Anthony Cumia on.
And another one.
Patrice is undoubtedly the funniest comic I've ever seen and his outlook on life was perfect he would have signed the 1st billion dollar podcast deal if he was alive today I'm sure of it
Not really
So many people leave an impact in life. Unforgettable despite not being around. Memories live on in the people who remember
Patrice O’Neal got me to overthink everything in my personal time. Every topic that pertains to my life. He did this and it’s why conversations with him became so meta because he’s got so many takes and perspectives. Listen to him on O&A and you see he looks at everything from every logical standpoint available. It made it tougher to argue with him. He was also one of the most open minded people. He had his perspective but he’d listen to everyone else and if you made a good point he’d absorb it
You can tell the pain in bill burr heart every time he talks about Patrice that's how you know he's still not over his death
None of us really are.....😭
He did a great job honoring Patrice, by letting his wife de-ball him.
@@snarkasticdouche3863 Damn that's rough. But Bill also said he would never get married haha.
@@marioleonvargas7903 I can't watch him anymore. He's a complete husk of a man, desperate for the approval of the "child lovers" of Hollywood.
The Patrice documentary was meant to be for Patrice, to honor his memory. It wasn't meant to be about Bill, or his stinky fucking wife.
Leaving Cumia out of the story was a complete betrayal of Patrice himself.
@@snarkasticdouche3863 Yall be trying live yall lives through bill burr. Like damn he finally got kids and a wife.....at 50 years old
In life you come across friends that you consider closer than family. Sucks when you lose them.
And I always could tell the love and respect he had for him. If you haven’t seen it theres a video of Bill on Kimmel or Fallon (what’s the difference) of him talking and tearing up about the foundation he supported to his family. Man has a good heart and Patrice does as well and I know he can see Burr praising him from above.
I’m not used to seeing bill so emotional and vulnerable. It’s a side ive never witnessed so it shows just what an impact he had on him and the level of respect and love they had despite different views and fights
Patrice is saying from beyond the grave “UUUGH Billy you make me sick”
Bill's stories and actions around Patrice are what makes me respect the shit outta Bill. Stories of him driving Patrice home to the projects in his truck and sitting up till 2am talking Patrice's outside his mom's home, how Bill still sets up the Patrice Oneal benefit to make sure Patrice's mom is set up financially, and how just now, he says "I still have arguments with him." Patrice is a permanent fixture in Bill's mind. He takes Patrice with him wherever he goes. That's a good fucking friend, and the kind of friend I'd want if I passed early.
Could not have said it better.
I became an O and A die hard fan just trying to find more of Patrice
The guy was hilarious
I like how whenever Bill talks about Patrice, he also mentions that they had falling outs and they would clash. Thats how you know he really knew him and they were close, he remembers all of what Patrice meant to him, the good and the not so good
Patrice only "lost" to Borat. He didn't know what to do with that character 😂
Lol
That whole "interview" was so damn funny though
Brruuuuh😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Have you heard him talk about it? I forget where I heard it but it was good. He let him off and let him keep his character. He could have easily tore him apart on that show back then. His explanation was hilarious
@@JuanCEOs725 yeah I think he was very good at calling out people on their shit. But you can’t be that way with a guys who’s whole entire thing is a character cause he’s always full of shit. That’s his thing.
"Shut up ya sissy" - Patrice if he were alive to hear this
The tables were GOLD. To watch the best comics roast each other. It was classic.
Bill gives this man credit more than other so called friends of his. It's good to see people still true even when they're gone. Not many people do this. Most move on and forget.
Patrice might be as big, or even bigger, than Chappelle is today if he were still alive today and on the same trajectory that he was. One of the greats, for sure.
Gonna completely disagree. He wouldn't be as big as Chapelle
He really loved him ( Patrice)
3:50 I just discovered and saw a few videos of this very talented man, thank you Bill Burr 🙏🏾 RIP Jak Knight
Total legend, RIP Patrice
Patrice played himself in the Office...no doubt!!! You can see Burr still misses him and is hurt.
what epidodes?
Every comedian who speaks on Patrice pretty much say what bill says which says a lot about his character ,talent and how much he was loved. Bill for sure misses his friend/brother cause it takes a lot to get him to look and be this vulnerable. Rest in paradise Patrice O’Neal
I post this often but I saw patrice live in 2004 in san francisco. He actually talked to me for a few seconds during his set. I often think about how one of the fuunniest men in history spent a few moments of his life thinking about and looking at me. Great memories. RIP
Patrice changed my life
I think those that ever watched and enjoyed Patrice, think how much of a monster he would have been in todays market.
He was ahead of the game and probably been a mass murderer with his comedy today.
Dope u can see the pain in his eyes but all so the love for his comedian brother
You actually see bill go to that place ( vulnerable ) when talking about him, it’s like it hurts but makes him happy to share the memories
I can’t believe the hosts heard him say, “I still have arguments with him” and they let that moment pass. I wanted to hear Bill expand on that, maybe give some examples, something.
He meant things that Patrice said that went over his head at the time and is now figuring out that was crossing the line
@@leroygreen9227 how do you know that? He said it in a podcast?
@@Frank7489 I mean, he goes on to say there's shit he's still figuring out now in terms of how Patrice crossed the line when he said certain things to Bill in the past and he humbly admits he was too slow to react to it at the time. The arguments he "still has with him" are just figurative, not literal.
Bill is one of the quickest thinking comedians and he says he was slow compared to Patrice
I firsh watched Bill Burr and I was blown away by him. Then I heard Patrice and I was like ' Ah, that's what Bill is aspiring to'. As good as Bill is, Patrice is just next level.
Patrice was my friend in high school, so blessed to have him in my life.
Man I still miss Patrice 🫶🏼
Don’t forget that Burr and Patrice had a fight in 2006 which strained their friendship which was never the same afterwards.
The fight lasted a week at most. Bill has talked about it several times.
Actually you must have forgot that Bill has repeatedly said it lasted a few days and they definitely made up afterwards.
Love this so much
I love the fact that Burr, Rogan, all the other comedians keep his memories alive,
It’s always great to see Bill pay homage to Patrice and really show how much love he had for him. He’s the most underrated comedian hands down.
I still think about Patrice all the time, especially when I think of what he would say about our modern day.
100s of years ago a jester could lose his life if he made fun of the king.
Black Phillip's "Fishing Boat" bit is still in my top 3 all-time-best bits.
